'''Cinnabar Island''' (referred to in Japanese as both ''' | |||
'''Cinnabar Island''' (referred to in Japanese as both '''グレンじま''' ''Guren Island'' and '''グレンタウン''' ''Guren Town'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] region, south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] was once the resident [[Gym Leader]] specializing in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but as of Generation IV, Cinnabar Island no longer has a Gym. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. The island is connected to the mainland by two water routes: {{rt|20|Kanto}} in the east and {{rt|21|Kanto}} in the north, leading to [[Fuchsia City]] and Pallet Town, respectively. | |||
The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca. The journals scattered about the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} suggest that {{p|Mewtwo}} was cloned here. The scientists at the [[Pokémon Lab]] have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their [[Fossil]]s. Two years after the events of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, as seen in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything. The [[Pokémon Center]] was rebuilt, and the Cinnabar Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands. | The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca.

* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where a mountain stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the generations have shown the volcano to be there. | * It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s.

* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Man on roof|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions. | * Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast.

The former refers to the island itself, while the latter to the town on it. On the [[Town Map|map]], ironically, it is referred to as グレンじま ''Guren Island'' while the town exists (Generations I and III), and as グレンタウン ''Guren Town'' when the town has been destroyed (Generations II and IV). However, both Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} and Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} mention both on different occasions. | ||
* Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''. Despite this, one of its Japanese names ends in ''Town''. However, there is no Gym here in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} as it is located in the [[Seafoam Islands]] instead. | * Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''.

* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since | * Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since ''crimson'' (グレン) refers to a shade of red while ''vermilion'' (クチバ) refers to a shade of orange. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral cinnabar. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange 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}}. | ||
