In Generation I, a Pokémon Center consisted of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] that will heal the player's Pokémon. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. Generation I also includes two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town, which are the Pokémon Center on {{rt|4|Kanto}} outside [[Mt. Moon]], and the Pokémon Center in {{rt|10|Kanto}} outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future generations employ rest houses that only offer healing services in areas similar to that. | In Generation I, a Pokémon Center consisted of two counters on a single floor.

In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor remained the counter where a nurse would heal Pokémon, as well as a PC, while on the second floor resided the Cable Club. | In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors.

Pokémon Centers during Generation III remained in a two-floor setup, similar to the way they were in Generation II. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator. | Pokémon Centers during Generation III remained in a two-floor setup, similar to the way they were in Generation II.

In Generation IV, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, utilizing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Opposite the second floor escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same functionality that it did during Generation III with four player on the DS's wireless connection, the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}. The first floor, as always, is where a player can heal their Pokémon and a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}} players can also challenge a Trainer or Trainers inside some Pokémon Centers. | In Generation IV, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, utilizing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the [[Poké Mart]] has been combined with the Pokémon Center, this is similar to how the Elite Four lobbies of previous generations contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The [[PC]]s in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics. | In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the [[Poké Mart]] has been combined with the Pokémon Center, this is similar to how the Elite Four lobbies of previous generations contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center.
