==Places of interest==

===Harbor===

====S.S. Anne====

{{main|S.S. Anne}}

The [[S.S. Anne]] is a well-known luxury cruise liner that [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|sails]] the {{pkmn|world}}, stopping annually in Vermilion City. In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{player}} can board the S.S. Anne if they have an {{key|III|S.S. Ticket}}, but cannot stay on it for its departure. This ship contains many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s looking for a {{pkmn|battle}}.

===Sleeping Pokémon notice===

There's a notice in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}} near the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] about a {{p|Snorlax|sleeping Pokémon}} that's blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}}, advising people wishing to go to [[Lavender Town]] to detour through the [[Rock Tunnel]] instead in the meantime.

[[File:Vermilion City port HGSS.png|thumb|Vermilion Port in [[Generation IV]]]]

Much has changed from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]]. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] has been redesigned and expanded. The [[S.S. Anne]]'s port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In [[Generation II]] nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into {{rt|11|Kanto}} near [[Diglett's Cave]] and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the [[S.S. Aqua]] transports passengers to and from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, Trainers had to use a [[Pokégear]] tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the [[Generation II]] games. In [[Generation IV]], the [[Diglett's Cave]] is pushed back to {{rt|11|Kanto}}.

==In the spin-off games==

==In the anime==

[[O]] has a Pokémon Ping-Pong center, where he is training [[Dawn's Ambipom]], in Vermilion City.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Vermilion is split into two main areas; the center city and the port. The [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club]] headquarters is located in the center city and the [[S.S. Anne]] arrives once in a month in the port. Some of the citizens are {{tc|Pokéfan}}s and {{tc|Sailor}}s.

The Vermilion Harbor is the setting of six rounds beginning with ''[[PS057|Ekans the Ecstasy]]'' through to ''[[PS062|Breath of Dragonair Part 3]]''. In these chapters, the S.S. Anne sinks to the bottom of the harbor. {{adv|Yellow}} is also told the legend of the harbor by the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]]: apparently, four [[evolutionary stone]]s lie at the bottom of the harbor and never lose their powers of starting a Pokémon's evolution.

==Trivia==

[[File:SS Truck.png|thumb|right|The truck, as it appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]  

* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, there is a photo of people fishing inside the Fishing Dude's house. The {{player}}'s reaction differs between the two generations:

** Generation II: "''It's a photo of people fishing... They're having a great time...''"
