In [[Generation I]], the cave was inconsistently referred to as the '''Unknown Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ななしのどうくつ''' ''Nameless Cave'') in addition to its name. This moniker would later be reused for the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} in [[Kalos]], which is a direct reference to Cerulean Cave.

Cerulean Cave is home to a wide variety of high-[[level]] [[wild Pokémon]]. The [[Pokémon League]] only permits {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] to enter. At the end of the cave lies {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only one of its [[species]] available.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{player}}s must further prove themselves before entering the cave, which is done by completing the quest on [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the [[Network Machine]] to operational status. More Pokémon can be found only by [[fishing]], while wild Pokémon found just by walking around in the cave are reduced in number. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen also fixed the awkward Pokémon distribution from the Generation I games, which included several misplaced species such as {{p|Dodrio}} and Pokémon that are otherwise only obtainable by [[Evolutionary stone|stone-induced evolution]].

In [[Generation II]], Cerulean Cave completely collapsed but the leftovers of Mewtwo's presence remain and are found in the lake near the cave, in the form of the item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Berserk Gene}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cerulean Cave has been rebuilt and Mewtwo can once again be found inside. Like in previous generations, an [[Non-player character|NPC]] stands in the way until the player has obtained all eight Kanto Gym [[Badge]]s (as opposed to defeating the Pokémon League at Indigo Plateau, the requirement in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen).
