==Slogan==

===Generation IV===

'''''City of the Rainbow's Colors''''' (Japanese: '''にじいろの　おおきな　まち''' ''The large rainbow-colored town'')

==Places of interest==

The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by [[Team Rocket]], being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The [[Team Rocket Hideout]] is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.

The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

===Celadon Gym===

The Celadon Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Celadon City. It is based on {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Erika]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

In the anime, Celadon Gym appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation!]]''. Attached to the Celadon Gym is a perfume shop, run by Erika herself. {{Ash}} wanted to challenge Erika to a Gym {{pkmn|battle}}, but the workers at the Gym refused to allow his entry because he had earlier criticized a {{wp|perfume}} shop, saying that all they do is turn men into zombies. They kicked him out of the shop for insulting them and when Ash found out that the Gym is where the perfume was manufactured, he was visibly shocked.

==Demographics==

===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===

The population of Celadon City is 81 (70, excluding the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} guarding the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]] and everyone inside the Hideout).

Between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, there have being some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}} appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to [[Generation II|the previous generation]].

==In the spin-off games==

In {{g|Pinball}}, Celadon City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Dratini}}.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's secret hideout]]. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, [[Giovanni]].

==In the manga==

Like in the anime, Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

Celadon City first appeared from ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' to ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive [[item]]s, all of which later turned out to be fake, from {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}} encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her [[Blasty|Wartortle]], but was stopped by Red and his [[Snor]]lax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his {{badge|Boulder|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}}s.

After having an encounter with [[Team Rocket]] and {{adv|Mew}}, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an {{p|Eevee}}. With the help of {{adv|Bill}}, Red soon found an [[Vee|Eevee]], but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into [[Eeveelution|it evolutions]] and [[Devolution|back]]. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

Celadon City appeared in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from [[Lavender Town]] in order to get a [[Silph Scope]], but after snatching one from the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by {{m|slash}}ing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a {{badge|Rainbow}}.

==Trivia==

* Many [[Gym Leader]]s have appeared at one point or another within Celadon City. [[Erika]], as its own Gym Leader, resides there, while [[Jasmine]], [[Falkner]], [[Janine]], [[Maylene]], and [[Crasher Wake]] stop by at times during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. [[Giovanni]] also appears here during [[Generation I]] and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|its remakes|s}}, as the Rocket Boss in [[Team Rocket Hideout|the hideout]] under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]], while {{ga|Blue}} is known to have visited the city to challenge Erika in Generation I and its remakes. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} also have visited the city, along with {{Ash}}, in the anime episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

* In the [[Generation I]] games, the two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s that can be seen in the city remain even after [[Team Rocket]] is thwarted by the player at [[Silph Co.]] This was changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

* Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being [[Nimbasa City]]. They are more populous than [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]], respectively. This also happens in Sinnoh, but only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} where [[Hearthome City]] is more populous than [[Jubilife City]].

** Coincidentally, Nimbasa City and Celadon City are both home to the fourth Gyms of their regions.

* In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, Celadon City's design is heavily based on the historic {{wp|Fremont Street}} in {{wp|Las Vegas}}.
