Celadon City Pokémon Yellow · Town
Celadon City is the big shopping hub of Kanto, with a huge Department Store, the Game Corner, a diner and Erika's Grass-type Gym. In Yellow you usually arrive after the Thunder Badge and spend a lot of time here clearing the Rocket Hideout beneath the Game Corner. It is also where you find the Eevee gift, the Coin Case and the drinks that open the Saffron gates.

Tips
- Use Cut on the tree in front of the Gym to reach Erika; Fire, Ice, Flying and Poison attackers do well against her Grass team.
- The Game Corner has a hidden switch behind a poster that opens the stairs into the Rocket Hideout, where you pick up the Silph Scope and Lift Key.
- The Eevee is in a Poké Ball in a back room on the Celadon Mansion roof, so do not leave town without it.
- A man in the diner gives you the Coin Case, and the Department Store has stones, vitamins and many TMs in its shop floors.
- The roof of the Department Store has drink machines; buy a drink to give to the thirsty guards at Saffron City.
