Vermilion City: Difference between revisions

* In [[Generation I]], a {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|truck}} appears as scenery in the [[S.S. Anne]]'s port, though it is only visible if the {{player}} actively seeks it out. Due to the scarcity of scenery in the Generation I games, as they were on a less powerful system, rumors began to spring up about the availability of {{p|Mew}} through a [[Poké Ball]] that could be found underneath. Though the rumor has long since been proven false, the truck makes a reappearance in the [[Generation III]] remakes. This time, an item can be found — a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}} —, not available [[Boon Island|until later on]] in the games.

* 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 {{tt|クチバ|kuchiba}} ''vermilion'' refers to a shade of orange while {{tt|グレン|guren}} ''crimson'' refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral 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}}.
