Cianwood City: Difference between revisions

|jpname={{tt|タンバシティ|Tanba Shiti}}

'''Cianwood City''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|タンバシティ|Tanba Shiti}}''' ''Tanba City'') is located in on the far western edge of [[Johto]], apparently on a totally different landmass than the rest of the region. Its English motto in [[Generation II]] is "''A Port Surrounded by Rough Seas!''" whereas in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it's "''A Port of Crashing Waves''". Due to Cianwood City being at a dead end location in the Johto region, it was not a popular destination. However, in [[Generation IV]] it became a notable destination due to the addition of the {{safari|Johto}} located to the west of the city.

'''Kirk''' (Japanese: '''セイジ''' ''Seiji''), known as '''Mania''' (Japanese: '''マニア''' ''Mania'') in [[Generation II]], is a {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} who lives in the house directly south from the Gym. Before the player meets him, he is bullied by {{ga|Silver|the player's rival}} into giving up his rare Pokémon—{{p|Sneasel}}. To prevent Silver from coming back to steal any more Pokémon, Kirk wants to give the player his {{p|Shuckle}}, nicknamed '''Shuckie''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ネッシー|Nesshī}}''' ''Nessie''), for safekeeping. This Shuckle has Kirk's [[Trainer ID number]] and will act like an {{pkmn2|outsider}} in {{pkmn|battle}}.

He will later ask for Shuckie back. If the {{player}} agrees, he will let him/her keep it if it has high [[friendship]]; otherwise he will take it back. Before taking back, he will ask the player to take the {{DL|Drink|Berry Juice}} held by Shuckie. However, he will accuse the player of stealing if Shuckie is not returned.

In [[Generation II]], the Photo Studio is where pictures of Pokémon can be taken. This is meant to work with the [[Game Boy Printer]] peripheral. The {{player}} can print out their [[Pokédex]] or the [[stats]] of one specific Pokémon. [[Mail]] can also be printed.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, this building is {{jo|Cameron}}'s house. He has a camera set up outside so the player can take a picture with their [[party]] for their [[Photography|Photo Album]], which can be seen on the PC. One of Cameron's relatives resides inside the house.

Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy that is over 500 years old. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the {{player}} to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some {{DL|Potion|SecretPotion|medicine}} from there.

After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that {{DL|Potion|Potion}}s and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s are in stock. If the player goes to Cianwood City before speaking with Jasmine at the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]], Potions and Full Heals will be in stock and the SecretPotion will be unavailable.

===Pokémon Seer===

In the very north of the city, there is a small house with an elderly woman who can tell where and when a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s party has been caught. She will also comment about how much Pokémon's level has grown from when it was caught. The Pokémon Seer can only be found in {{v2|Crystal}}. Unlike the [[Generation III]] and later games, the {{player}} is unable to find out where they caught their Pokémon by looking at their Pokémon's [[status]]; hence, the Pokémon Seer is the only way the player can tell where they caught their Pokémon. If a Pokémon traded from another game or an in-game traded Pokémon is shown to her, she will not be able to identify any details about it.

The Cianwood Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cianwood City. It is based on {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Chuck]], whom the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will see either lifting a boulder in [[Generation II]] or meditating under a {{m|waterfall}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Trainers who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Storm}}. Obtaining this [[Badge]] is usually the only reason that people travel to Cianwood City.

Outside the Gym is Chuck's wife, who will give the player {{HM|02|Fly}} after defeating Chuck.

[[File:Cianwood City anime.png|thumb|200px|right|Cianwood City in the anime]]

Cianwood City appeared in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]''.

* Cianwood City is the only city in the entire Pokémon franchise that takes place on a land modeled after {{wp|Shikoku}}.

* Cianwood was the first {{type|Fighting}} [[Gym]] where the {{player}} received an official [[Badge|League Badge]], due to [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]] losing its official status before the events of [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}.

* Like Cianwood City, [[Dewford Town]], home of [[Hoenn]]'s {{type|Fighting}} Gym, is also separate from the mainland and lacks a [[Poké Mart]].

* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} have a reference to Cianwood City. After meeting up with [[Cynthia]], she will give the player a [[SecretPotion]]. The SecretPotion's description mentions that it was dispensed by the pharmacy in Cianwood City.

* Its English [[Generation II]] motto was "''A Port Surrounded by Rough Seas!''"
