Celadon City: Difference between revisions

The Rocket Hideout is a four-floored underground complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. It is a secret base built used by [[Team Rocket]] to facilitate and administer their operations. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} is guarding the poster in question when the player first approaches it. After being defeated, the Grunt retreats into the base, leaving the poster un-guarded, and enabling the player to approach. Once the player activates a switch behind the poster, the stairs to the hideout will appear.

There are spinner tiles scattered around the place. This tile, when stepped upon, will whisk the player in the direction of the arrows depicted on it. The player will continue to travel in that direction until they hit a wall, land on another spinner (which may send them in a different direction) or land on a Stopper, a tile only used for that purpose.

The hotel, which is located in the southeastern part of the city, is a luxurious building, where the player is not able to rent a room due to the fact that there are no Pokémon allowed in the rooms. A couple is staying here at the moment, who are here on vacation and brought their little brother, who is a bit annoyed about it.

In [[Generation I]], there is an {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|invisible PC}} in the hotel. This fact is explained by the close resemblance between the hotel and a [[Pokémon Center]]. This was less a [[glitch]], and more likely an oversight by the programmers, who may have forgotten to remove the code to activate the [[PC]] at that particular point, though the sprite of the PC itself is no longer there. However, it could possibly be a leftover from the prototype design of the hotel itself.

* Many [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]] 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 [[Team Rocket]] Boss in [[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 {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
