It allows rapid travel at over 340 miles per hour (over 550 kilometers per hour). | ||
==In the games== | Two cities have a '''Magnet Train Station''' (Japanese: '''リニアモーターカーのえき''' ''Linear Motorcar Station''; '''リニアのえき''' ''Linear Station''), also shortened as '''Station''' (Japanese: '''えき''' ''Station''): | ||

===English=== | |||
This train is consistently named '''Magnet Train''' in the English dialogue, regardless of the Japanese dialogue using the full name or the shortened names for this train as seen below. | |||
In [[Generation II]] games, one station sign displays "'''Goldenrod City Station'''", but the other sign displays the longer "'''Saffron City Magnet Train Station'''". In [[Generation IV]] games, they are replaced by "'''Johto–Kanto Magnet Train Line Goldenrod City Station'''" and "'''Kanto–Johto Magnet Train Line Saffron City Station'''". | |||
The name "'''Goldenrod Station'''" (without the word "City") is also mentioned in the radio story from [[Generation IV]] games, but the exact name "Saffron Station" is not found anywhere in the English dialogue. | |||
===Japanese=== | |||
In the Japanese game dialogue, the '''Magnet Train''' is sometimes referred to by its full name '''リニアモーターカー''' (''Linear Motorcar''), but more often shortened to '''リニア''' (''Linear''). In [[Generation IV]], the short version is also featured in the Japanese name of the [[Pass]] item: '''リニアパス''' (''Linear Pass''). | |||
Alternatively, '''リニアカー''' (''Linear Car'') is also found in the game data as another shortened name for this train, but only in the description of the [[Pass]] item from [[Generation VII]] onwards. Since this item is unobtainable in those generations, this name is not used in normal gameplay. | |||

The Magnet Train appeared in ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', where it was used to transport the [[Gym Leader]]s of both the Kanto and Johto regions to the [[Indigo Plateau]] for the tournament held there, the event being its maiden voyage. The Magnet Train line was routed through the Indigo Plateau for the event. When [[Neo Team Rocket]] attacked the Indigo Plateau, they took control of the Magnet Train and stationed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s inside. They tricked the Gym Leaders into boarding the train, which then departed, leaving the Indigo Plateau wide open for an attack by the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Sometime later, in ''[[PS169|The Last Battle III]]'', it took [[Brock's Geodude]] and {{adv|Red}}'s [[Snor]]'s combined efforts to stop the train when it became out-of-control and couldn't be stopped normally. | The Magnet Train appeared in ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', where it was used to transport the [[Gym Leader]]s of both the Kanto and Johto regions to the [[Indigo Plateau]] for the tournament held there, the event being its maiden voyage.
