* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where a mountain stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the generations have shown the volcano to be there. | * It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s.

* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Man on roof|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions. | * Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast.

The former refers to the island itself, while the latter to the town on it. All [[generation]]s mention both names on different occasions. | ||
** On the [[Town Map]], it is referred to as simply ''Guren'' (グレン) in the Japanese versions of the [[Generation I]] games, just like other cities and towns. In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it is referred to as ''Guren Island'' (グレンじま), whereas in the Japanese versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is referred to as ''Guren Town'' (グレンタウン). | |||
* Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''. Despite this, one of its Japanese names ends in ''Town''. However, there is no Gym here in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} as it is located in the [[Seafoam Islands]] instead. | * Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''.

* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since ''crimson'' (グレン) refers to a shade of red while ''vermilion'' (クチバ) refers to a shade of orange. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral cinnabar. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}. | * Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since ''crimson'' (グレン) refers to a shade of red while ''vermilion'' (クチバ) refers to a shade of orange.
