'''''The Port of Exquisite Sunsets''''' (Japanese, Generations I-III: '''{{j|クチバはオレンジゆうやけのいろ}}''' ''Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.''; Generation IV: '''{{j|ゆうやけいろのみなとまち}}''' ''The sunset-colored port town.'')

'''Vermilion Harbor'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or '''Vermilion Port Entrance'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} (Japanese: '''{{j|クチバみなといりぐち}}''' ''Kuchiba Port Entrance'') is one of the larger docks in the [[Kanto]] region, and boats such as the [[S.S. Anne]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, [[S.S. Aqua]]{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and [[Seagallop]]{{sup/3|FRLG}} dock here.

A truck present in the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} games has also been the source of [[S.S. Anne#The truck|rumors]].

In one of the houses south and a little east of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Spearow}}. The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "<sc>Ch'ding</sc>" ("<sc>Dux</sc>" in [[Generation I]]), and it will be holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Stick}}. The [[Original Trainer|OT]] will be "<sc>Elyssa</sc>" and its [[Trainer ID number|ID]] will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded.

 

Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, <sc>Ch'ding</sc>'s [[original Trainer]] data defines <sc>Elyssa</sc> as male. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if <sc>Ch'ding</sc> is [[trade|traded]] to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or transferred forward to [[Generation V]] (via [[Pal Park]] and [[Poké Transporter]]), the OT name is shown colored blue.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Vermilion City is 30. The increase in population is possibly due to the addition of the harbor building.

Although Vermilion City was never properly seen in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited it prior to the events of ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. During his visit, he obtained the [[HM]] for {{m|Cut}} from the captain of [[S.S. Anne]] and earned the {{badge|Thunder}} by defeating Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.

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 due to the actions of the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]]. {{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.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Red and {{adv|Blue}} flew to Vermilion to board the [[Seagallop]] for [[One Island]]. The Seagallop returned to Vermilion carrying Blue, {{adv|Green}}, and her parents, [[Lorelei]], [[Ultima]], and {{adv|Professor Oak}}, at the same time that a Team Rocket airship, that Red was trying to control, was about to crash somewhere in Vermilion. Although Red was able to prevent {{p|Forretress}} aboard the airship from {{m|Explosion|exploding}}, the aircraft still nearly crash-landed, but thankfully, {{adv|Mew}} was able to lower it safely to the ground.

* Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral {{wp|cinnabar}}. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red 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}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).
