Cerulean City: Difference between revisions

The city is one of only two cities in Kanto to have four different [[Route|routes]] enter the city, the other being Saffron City. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions.

The Bike Shop has a store in Cerulean City, which sells Bicycles produced by the company. Designs range from a plain city bike to fast mountain bike; however the {{player}} only ever gets one: the [[Bicycle]]. It can be bought for {{pdollar}}1,000,000, or exchanged for a {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Bike Voucher}}. However, as only {{pdollar}}999,999 can be obtained at any time, there is no way to buy a Bicycle without a Bike Voucher. The [[Pokémon Fan Club]] Chairman in [[Vermilion City]] will give out his Bike Voucher, making this the only viable way to get the item.

In [[Generation II]], the shop is closed due to the owner deciding to move the shop to [[Goldenrod City]] in the [[Johto]] region. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], however, the shop in [[Kanto]] is also open.  

The name "Miracle Cycle" is limited strictly to the Japanese [[Pokémon games|games]], and in the English versions, the Miracle Cycle Shops are called just "Bike Shops" and no mention of Miracle Cycle is made at all.

On the outskirts of Cerulean City lies Cerulean Cave, also known as the Unknown Dungeon. It is said to be home to "horribly strong {{obp|Pokémon|species}}". The player can capture {{p|Mewtwo}} at [[Level]] 70 in the [[Generation I]], III, and {{Gen|IV}} games. Only {{pkmn|trainers}} who compete and win in the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] may enter due to the potency of the Pokémon in the cave. At the end of the cave lies Mewtwo, the only one of its species in the game.

Another addition in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] lies in the fact that trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave, which is done by completing the quest on [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the [[Network Machine]] to operational status.  

In Generation II, the Dungeon has collapsed, but Mewtwo's [[Berserk Gene]] has been left behind. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cerulean Cave has not collapsed and Mewtwo can still be found inside.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a man in a cottage who concocts a variety of medicine from [[Berry Powder]] and will exchange Berry Powder for rare and valuable [[Item|items]]. When he is first visited, he gives the player the [[Powder Jar]], and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes berries in the [[Pokémon Center]] upstairs. There is also a sign on his wall that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.

In Generations I and III, there is a man in a cottage in the northwest corner of the city who will explain exactly what the effects are for each of the eight [[Badge#Indigo_League|Indigo League]] [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. He also has a small backyard, where a [[Rare Candy]] can be found hidden under the flowers.

The Cerulean Gym is the official [[gym]] of Cerulean City. It is based on {{type2|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Misty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat her receive the {{badge|Cascade}}. Other known members include [[Swimmer]] Briana, Swimmer Parker, Swimmer Diana, Swimmer Luis, and [[Picnicker]] Diana. The Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the player to walk on. There are no puzzles to solve in this gym.

[[Wild Pokémon]] can be found in the water inside Cerulean City's [[Gym#Cerulean Gym|Gym]] ([[Generation I]] only), as well as in the channel along the northwestern edge of town. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a man who will [[trade]] his {{p|Jynx}} for a {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

Cerulean City is first visited in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'', being the place where [[Misty]]'s mansion and the [[Cerulean Gym]] are located. Its streets surround a canal full of boats resembling {{wp|Venice}}. Here [[Red]] and Misty also train to defeat [[Team Rocket]].
