Cinnabar Island is home to a new, updated laboratory and an old, abandoned mansion. One can go to the laboratory to trade some Pokémon and identify the fossils found in Pewter City and Mt. Moon. There are also some diaries in the mansion, with brief information on Mewtwo's creation, as well as records on old rocket projects. While these diaries are in great disrepair, still, some of the old files are also accessible, even today. Wild Pokémon also live in the mansion, more on this is explained below. The gym was reinstated, no longer in the volcano, but situated on top of it, in a great glass dome on a platform. The volcano, now dormant, is no longer a danger.

During the wars, Cinnabar Island had been destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and every building on the island except the Pokémon Center was gone. Blaine, the Gym Leader who used Fire-type Pokémon, relocated his gym to the nearby Seafoam Islands, but with his death, his gym was recycled into other things. Not too long ago, Omega Corp actually brought all of the sunken Cinnabar up from the sea, along with more landmass, making the island much more large. Reconstruction was done, but the Rocket Mansion was left as it was..literally. It is kept deep, deep underwater, with some dangerous sea pokemon, and a few experiments running around the place. An elevator in a small complex on Cinnabar takes anyone to the mansion that wants to go, but they do so at their own risk, and must sign a waiver rendering Cinnabar Labs not responsible if they die.


Omega has given funds to the independant research done on Cinnabar, and the labs there are one of the chief researchers of pokemon fossils and resuscitation. Ra'shiel Industries has also put some funding into this technology, but since everything is done by donation more than actual investing, there have been no meetings of Omega or Ra'shiel in this project. All donating parties are given access to the technology first before it's marketed, and given updates on all progress.
