 | Viridian City is a small city surrounded by forest. The Viridian Forest is popular for being an excellent spot for catching bug-type PokéMon. Caterpie and Weedle, as well as their evolutions, are common sights around the city, and Viridian Forest is swarming with them. Many trainers in Viridian will become Bug Catchers and spend their time trying to navigate the forest to find the best bug types. There's even an official Bug Catchers club!

| Nestled in the mountains, Pewter City has the highest elevation of all of Kanto's major cities. The trees thin out here, but the city is still reasonably forested. The Pewter Museum of Science can be found on the north side of the city. The fossils of ancient PokéMon are on display here, and the museum runs a special theme for the second floor exhibits every month. The nearby Mount Moon is a popular tourist site and many trainers head there in the hopes of catching themselves an ever-elusive Clefairy.

| Water is the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Cerulean. Cerulean City is built over a series of canals, much like Venice. Walkways follow the canals and bridges arc over them to get from one city block to another. Sadly the canal water is not the type to swim in and fishing in the canals is strictly forbidden. However, the city is bordered by a wide river to the north, where the water quality is much better and fishing is permitted. The Gym here is (predictably) water type oriented and owned by the Four Sisters of Cerulean.

| Saffron is the largest city in Kanto and also its capital city. It's well-guarded and very central, located between Cerulean, Lavender, Vermilion, and Celadon. Guard posts are established at the start of each route leading out of the city, and it can sometimes be difficult to get into Saffron because of the tight security. The headquarters of Silph Co are located here, which includes its research and development department.

| The second largest city in Kanto, Celadon is known for its tall skyline and famous department store. Celadon is the largest importer of products from outside the Kanto region; if you're looking for it, you can probably find it here. It's also a large black market hub, though the city's seedy underbelly is not widely known outside of the appropriate circles.

| Fuschia City is home to the Safari Zone, a PokéMon preserve with many rare PokéMon that can't be caught anywhere else. For a fee, trainers can enter and attempt to catch these rare PokéMon; they have to leave their PokéMon and PokéBalls at the front desk and are then sent into the preserve with 30 Safari Balls and a time limit; capture in the Safari Zone is pure luck based on the Safari Ball's catch rate. Warden "Slowpoke" is in charge of the Safari Zone; he's said to be friends with Koga, who patrols the grounds on occasion.

| The seaside city of Vermilion is a busy port town. Its main income comes from fishing and trade with the other regions. The citizens are very careful about water pollution, fearing the popular belief that Muk breed in polluted water. The SS Anne, a luxury cruise liner for PokéMon trainers, makes port in Vermilion City annually and an unofficial (not League sponsored) PokéMon tournament is held on board the ship.

| Cinnabar is a volcanic island that has been converted into a resort city. People still live here of course, but the place's main industry has become tourism. There's also a rather large research facility here for the study of the island's native PokéMon (fire types from the volcano and water types from the ocean), but access is restricted and the general public is not premitted inside this facility.There is a legend told here of a human type PokéMon that Surfs up and down the east coast of the island. Many people claim to have seen it, but their stories aren't particularly reliable. Skeptics will write off the sightings as drunken hallucinations or a Jynx playing pranks on people. The mysterious PokéMon has been nicknamed "Missingno" by the locals.
