Mt. Silver: Difference between revisions

|other_info=Silver Cave

'''Mt. Silver''', also known as '''Silver Cave''' (Japanese: '''シロガネやま''' ''Mt. Shirogane'') is a large mountain in [[Johto]] located west of {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]]. Mt. Silver can be reached from [[Kanto]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}} after receiving the sixteen Gym [[Badge]]s of both Johto and Kanto. At the very summit of Mt. Silver, the {{player}} may {{pkmn|battle}} with {{ga|Red}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Moltres}} can also be found here.

A field based on Mt. Silver also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s [[Gym Leader Castle]].

In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], Mt. Silver is much larger than before. {{m|Flash}} is no longer needed to light up the cave. The higher sections of the cave, where Red is located, require {{m|Rock Climb}} to be accessible. At times, the player must also venture onto the slopes on the mountain's sides in order to climb higher. In addition, a {{weather|hail|heavy snowfall}} is present at the summit, which assumes the hail weather condition in battle; this weather can become {{weather|diamond dust}} on certain days.

In the anime, Mt. Silver is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, a city that boasts at least 30 inhabitants. Silver Town's main attraction is the [[Silver Conference]], the [[Johto League]]'s yearly tournament that brings tourism to the city.  

Later, Red and {{adv|Gold}} leave to Mt. Silver to train together.

* Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''' in the {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} deluxe edition of the {{OBP|Pokémon Master Trainer|1999}} board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.

* {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, who can be fought here at level 88 (level 81 in [[Generation II]]), is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer in the series.

* In the original player's guide to Gold and Silver, there is mention of a "?" Pokémon that appears near the waterfalls in Mt. Silver at midnight or very early in the morning; however, this was a false rumor. The guide also claimed that the unknown Pokémon was supposed to represent legendary Pokémon found in [[Generation I]] that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).

* Like [[Snowpoint City]], Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Generation IV, including the anniversary of Gold and Silver's original release.

* Mt. Silver is marked as a Johto location by the [[Pokégear]]; however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as Kanto areas by the Pokégear in Generation IV. This issue was not present in the Generation II map, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.

* The exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, [[tall grass]], trees, and the [[Pokémon Center]] itself. However, in Generation IV, the only major differences are the rocks and trees; for example, the trees placed in the high exteriors of the mountain itself are the ones commonly found in Johto.

* In Generation IV, whenever the player is in or on the mountain, the location bar will always say "Mt. Silver Cave", even when the player is not inside the cave.

* Mt. Silver is the only location in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where natural {{weather|hail}}storm can be experienced.

* Encountering {{ga|Red}} here in regular gameplay requires that the {{player}} obtains the 16 [[Badge]]s of both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] (and Kanto itself is only accessible after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] first), then being granted access to Mt. Silver from [[Professor Oak]]. Despite this, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red can be found at Mt. Silver ''the first time'' right at the beginning of the player's [[journey]] by bypassing the collision data of the overworld maps or by [[cheating]]. This is not possible in [[Generation II]], as the game is programmed to only allow Red to appear at Mt. Silver after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, even though regular gameplay imposes further requirements.

 

Mt. Silver is based on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}} in the real-world {{wp|Japan}}.
