Saffron City is a sprawling metropolis in the Kanto region. It lies in between Celadon City, Vermilion City, Lavender Town, and Cerulean City. It is home to -blank-, the city's Gym Leader.
It is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the Pokémon world and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large Silph Co. headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two Gyms dominate the north-eastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure.
Places that reside here
Silph Co.'s headquarters
The Silph Co. Headquarters is the largest and tallest building in the city. They are the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology in the world, and produce a variety of goods for Trainers, such as the Poké Ball and the Silph Scope. Years ago Team Rocket orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. Though a trainer had just arrived in time to take on the mission of driving them out of the city, and the President of Silph revealed afterwords that the top-secret development Team Rocket was after: the Master Ball, which can catch any Pokémon without fail.
The Silph Co. Office Building is an eleven-floor skyscraper, and effectively a giant maze. People must navigate the building using warp tiles in order to reach different rooms. Some people hold a Card Key, which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key.
Fighting Dojo
In addition to -blanks- -blank--type Gym, there is also a secondary Gym, the Fighting Dojo, which specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.
It has been established that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be the Indigo League's sixth Gym. Due to the type advantage that the Psychic-type Pokémon that were trained at the Saffron Gym had over the Fighting-type Pokémon used by the Dojo, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official Gym.
Saffron Gym
The Saffron Gym is the official Gym of Saffron City. It is based on -blank-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is -blank-. Trainers who defeat her/him receive the Marsh Badge.
