Pewter Museum of Science: Difference between revisions

The '''Pewter Museum of Science''' is located in the north side of [[Pewter City]], [[Kanto]] and is one of the city's main attractions. The Pewter Museum of Science hosts a wide range of attractions and exhibits, largely featured around space and fossil exploration. The museum holds a huge collection of artifacts including rocks from the moon, space shuttles, and fossils of ancient Pokémon. The admission is {{pdollar}}50 for a child's ticket.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a fossil exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. These sprites can also be seen when doing the [[Old Man Glitch]] under the name of [[Missingno.]] if the trick is done properly. The second floor hosts a space exhibit featuring a Space Shuttle and {{evostone|Moon Stone}} that fell onto [[Mt. Moon]] The player is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the {{pdollar}}50 admission fee.

In [[Generation IV]], however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}} unlike in [[Generation II]] where players were required to transfer Fossil Pokémon from the [[Generation I]] games using the [[Time Capsule]].

The Pewter Museum of Science hosts a wide array of different exhibits and attractions. The first floor holds a fossil exhibits including [[fossil]]s of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}, the prehistoric and rare Pokémon. The second floor has a space exhibit showing featuring a model of a {{wp|Space Shuttle}}, and rock, most likely {{evostone|Moon Stone}}s, that fell onto [[Mt. Moon]] in the form of a meteorite.

In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, [[Brock]] works as a security guard at the museum. It was there that he somehow managed to revive and acquire a {{p|Kabuto}} that later evolved into {{p|Kabutops}}. Later, however, the museum is burned down by two {{p|Magmar}}. {{Special|Red}} used Sand, a {{p|Sandshrew}} he caught throughout his voyages with Giovanni, to annoy the Magmar. Giovanni later finished them off with his {{p|Cloyster}} when the Magmar regained consciousness.

* In the Generation I games, the plaque accompanying the space shuttle model reads "{{wp|Space Shuttle Columbia}}", however, in the Generation III remakes the plaque simply reads "Space Shuttle". This is probably due to the fact that on February 1, 2003 the real Space Shuttle Columbia {{wp|Space Shuttle Columbia disaster|disintegrated upon reentry}} during its 28th mission, killing all seven crew members.
