Places in Jhoto Region
New Bark Town New Bark Town (ワカ�タウン, Wakaba Taun?, Wakaba Town in original Japanese language versions) is the starting point of the second generation video games. This starting town is significantly larger than Pallet Town of Kanto or Littleroot Town of Hoenn.
In the video games, the protagonist is a child who lives here with his or her mother, who will act as a bank and save money if the player asks her to. Players receive their first Pokémon from the town's local professor, the famous Professor Elm. They have a choice between three Pokémon, which are Chikorita (Grass), Cyndaquil (Fire) and Totodile (Water). It is also where they see their rival for the first time.
It should also be noted that, in the video games Gold, Silver and Crystal, many players consider New Bark Town to be a midway station between Johto and Kanto, as traveling left from the town takes the player into the Johto region, and traveling right takes the player to the Kanto region. However, New Bark Town is still technically part of Johto.
In the Pokémon anime, New Bark Town is the first town in Johto that Ash Ketchum visits, in the episode "Don't Touch that 'Dile." In the Pokémon Adventures manga, New Bark Town is the hometown of Gold.
Cherrygrove City Cherrygrove City (ヨシノシティ, Yoshino Shiti?, Yoshino City in original Japanese language versions) is west of New Bark Town and southeast of Violet City. After receiving a call from Professor Elm, the player battles the rival for the first time here. It is based upon the city of Nagoya.
Violet City Violet City (ã‚ã‚ョウシティ, KikyÅ? Shiti?, KikyÅ? City in original Japanese language versions) is the third town that the player visits on the road to the Pokémon League. Falkner, who specializes in Flying-types, is the Gym Leader here.
Located in Violet City is Sprout Tower, which houses several sages and mediums who appear to revere the Pokémon Bellsprout as a teacher. The player can obtain HM05 (Flash) here, after beating an elder.
Azalea Town Azalea Town (ヒワダタウン, Hiwada Taun?, Hiwada Town in original Japanese language versions) is south of Violet City, west of Union Cave and east of Ilex Forest. It is home to the second Pokémon gym and its leader, Bugsy, who, predictably, uses Bug-types.
This town is also home to Kurt, who makes different kinds of Poké Balls out of Apricorns. The Poké Balls he makes cannot be found anywhere else, and have special properties. Most are exclusive to Gold, Silver, and Crystal and have not been included in subsequent generations. However, in Diamond and Pearl, the fourth-generation Pokémon games, and Ruby and Sapphire, the third generation games, a few of these Poké Balls have made a comeback, such as the Net Ball, which is most effective against Bug- and Water-type Pokémon. Kurt takes a real life day to complete a Poké Ball.
A well called the Slowpoke Well is located west of Union Cave and just east of Azalea Town. According to an outdoor sign near it, it also has the nickname "Rainmaker Well." City residents will tell the player that many years ago, a Slowpoke yawned and ended a drought that devastated the town. As a result, the townsfolk treat Slowpoke with the highest regards. This is the first location where the player battles Team Rocket.
Goldenrod City Goldenrod City (コガãƒ?シティ, Kogane Shiti?, Kogane City in original Japanese language versions) is the largest city in the Johto region, analogous to the Japanese city of Osaka. Similar to Celadon City in the Kanto region, it features a Game Corner and department store; Goldenrod also has a bicycle shop, radio tower, and a Magnet Train station that connects Goldenrod City with Saffron City in Kanto. The Gym Leader here is Whitney, who specializes in Normal-type Pokémon. Her strongest Pokémon is Miltank.
After the player wins the 7th badge, the revived Team Rocket takes over the radio tower and its broadcasts are all directed to contact Giovanni, in order to convince him to become their leader once again. The player must liberate the tower in order to continue through the game. After the tower is liberated, the path to Blackthorn City will be opened, and three legendary Pokémon will become available: Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.
North of Goldenrod is a National Park where a bug-catching competition is held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Ecruteak City Ecruteak City (エンジュシティ, Enju Shiti?, Enju City in original Japanese language versions) is a city in the north of Johto. It is based on Kyoto, Japan. Ecruteak has a dance hall where the player can obtain HM 03 (Surf). The Gym Leader is Morty, who uses Ghost-type Pokémon.
Ecruteak is prominent for its two towers, the Burned Tower (formerly Brass Tower) in the west and the Tin Tower in the east. Local townspeople will tell the player about legends concerning these towers.
700 years ago, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. In the west was Brass Tower, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and in the east was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest. In addition, Brass Tower was the residence of an immense silver-colored Pokémon, Lugia, while the rainbow-colored Pokémon Ho-Oh resided at Tin Tower. Around 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days until a sudden downpour occurred. While Lugia escaped unharmed, the three Legendary Beasts that lived there, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, perished. Ho-Oh returned and resurrected the Legendary Beasts and left them to guard the ruins of the newly named Burned Tower.
If the player reaches a section of the basement of Burned Tower, the Legendary Beasts will be released, after which they will roam the world and the player can encounter and capture them in random battles. The Tin Tower can only be reached after the player has obtained the Rainbow Wing. Ho-Oh is located on its roof. This is the only rooftop in any of the games that allows the use of HM 02 Fly outside of battle, aside from the Sky Pillar in the third generation games. In Pokémon Crystal, Suicune will arrive at Tin Tower after the player receives the Clear Bell from the director of Goldenrod Radio Tower. Unlike the one in Gold and Silver, it will not try to run from battle.
In the Pokémon anime, Burned Tower is full of Ghost-type Pokémon belonging to the gym leader, Morty. He is in charge of taking care of that tower and has made it part of the Pokémon gym. Because of its location, Ash visits twice, first to win the town's badge and then on his way to Mahogany Town as he returns from Olivine and Cianwood.
In the episode "For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll," Eusine tells Ash the legend of Burned Tower. The fire was caused by greedy humans who wanted Ho-Oh's power. Three Pokémon perished in the flames, but Ho-Oh resurrected them and gave them powers of the north winds, lightning, and volcanoes to watch humans. Since then, they had disappeared, waiting for the time when all humans and Pokémon will cooperate again.
Olivine City Olivine City (アサギシティ, Asagi Shiti?, Asagi City in original Japanese language versions) is a city in the northwest of Johto. A port town, it features a tall lighthouse and a dock due to its location on the edge of the sea. It is located southwest of Ecruteak City and northeast of Cianwood City.
The Gym is initially empty. In order to fight the Gym Leader, Jasmine, the player must first encounter her in the lighthouse tending to what was once the beacon, Ampharos. After bringing a potion from the Cianwood City pharmacy to the lighthouse, Jasmine will be available for a gym battle. She specializes in Steel-type Pokemon, including Steelix.
This is one of two cities (the other being Vermilion City) where the player can board the S.S. Aqua. After defeating the Elite Four, the player can take the S.S. Aqua to Vermilion City, which is how the player enters Kanto. Afterwards, the S.S. Aqua will be available for travel between the two cities on certain days.
In Pokémon Crystal, the Battle Tower is located to the west of Olivine. In the Japanese version, players can use the mobile adapter to battle other players worldwide. However, as the mobile adapter was omitted in international releases, the US version contains a mere "Fight 'till you drop" system having almost no relation with its Japanese counterpart.
Cianwood City Cianwood City (タンãƒ?シティ, Tanba Shiti?, Tanba City in original Japanese language versions) is the westernmost city in Johto, in a somewhat remote location. The gym leader here is Chuck, who specializes in Fighting-type Pokemon. In a house near the center of the island is a man who will lend the player a Shuckle, the only way to acquire this Pokémon without using Rock Smash. In Crystal, the player first encounters Eusine, a man obsessed with Suicune, in the north of Cianwood City.
In Cianwood's southernmost building is a pharmacist who will give the player a Secret Potion to be given to Jasmine in Olivine City. After the Secret Potion is delivered, healing items will be sold there. Unusually, Cianwood City has no Pokémart, but a pharmacy instead.
Cianwood City is referenced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl by Cynthia, who gives the player some Secret Potion to heal the headaches of the Psyduck blocking the route to Celestic Town.
Mahogany Town Mahogany Town (ãƒ?ョウジタウン, ChÅ?ji Taun?, ChÅ?ji Town in original Japanese language versions) in the northeastern area of Johto. The Gym Leader is Pryce, who uses Ice-type Pokémon.
There is a Rocket hideout located underneath a store that sells strange items. It features passwords and an alarm system. It also has traps in the floor that were left behind by the ninjas that used the hideout before Team Rocket occupied it. Lance, the current champion of the Pokémon League, feels suspicious about this store. Along with the main character, he breaks in and enters the Rocket hideout. In the final room, there are six Electrode powering a machine that emits radio waves to force Pokémon to evolve. Lance and the main character must each battle three of the Electrode in order to shut down the generator.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Lt. Surge finds the Rocket Hideout because he detected machines running under the store due to his sensitivity to electricity. There, he battles Mask of Ice and loses, but manages to escape.
Lake of Rage The Lake of Rage, which lies north of Mahogany Town, was thought to be created by Gyarados. When the player arrives, Team Rocket has planted a mysterious recording that forces all the Magikarp that dwell in the lake to evolve into Gyarados. The player must battle, and can catch or defeat, a red (Shiny) Gyarados there.
The lake is mentioned on TV at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which inspires the main character's rival to explore their local lake.
Blackthorn City Blackthorn City (フスベシティ, Fusube Shiti?, Fusube City in original Japanese language versions), also known as the Dragon City, is the birthplace of Pokémon League Champion Lance. It is located in northeast Johto, and is to the east of Mahogany Town and the Ice Path. South of the city is the Dark Cave and a one-way path to New Bark Town. Clair, Lance's cousin and the city's Gym Leader, specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. Blackthorn City also contains a move deleter, who will delete unwanted Pokémon moves for free.
North of the city is the Dragon's Den, which is home to Dragon-type Pokémon. It is inaccessible until the player defeats Clair. Then, in Gold and Silver, Gym Leader Clair sends the player to the Den to fetch the Dragon Fang. Upon retrieving it, Clair will award him the Gym badge. In Crystal, the trainer is instead sent to the Den to take a Pokémon quiz given by Clair's grandfather, the Dragon Clan Elder. After the player answers correctly, the elder will make Clair give up the badge. Talking to the elder will earn the player a Dratini, which will have the move Extremespeed (which it can't normally learn otherwise) if the player gave the "best" responses to the quiz questions.
Other locations
Dark Cave Dark Cave is a single-level cave located in eastern Johto. True to its name, the cave is pitch-black, requiring the use of HM 05 Flash to see. Though it is not necessary to enter the cave to complete the storyline, Dark Cave is the only place in Johto to capture wild Dunsparce and Wobbuffet. This cave has three entrances: one from the southeast of Violet City, one from the southwest of Blackthorn City, and one from the northwest of New Bark Town.
Ruins of Alph The Ruins of Alph are located south of Violet City. Inside the main ruins are drawings on the walls, all of them bearing resemblance to the Pokémon Unown. Inside several caves are pieces of Pokémon drawings which the player must arrange (similar to a jigsaw puzzle) to release wild Unown into the ruins. As more puzzles are completed, more varieties of Unown can be found.
After catching three Unown of different forms, a scientist will give the player the Unown Dex, which records the different varieties of Unown the player has caught. Completing the Unown Dex allows the player to print out Unown using a Gameboy printer.
In the Johto League Champions episode "Fossil Fools," research at the Ruins of Alph discovers living specimens of Omanyte and Omastar, much like the Kabuto in the Orange Islands episode "Shell Shock."
Union Cave Union Cave is located south of Violet City and just east from Azalea Town, with a Pokémon Center located at its entrance. It is the first cave the player can travel through to the end. It is notable also for being home to the Pokémon Lapras which appears only on Fridays in the lower levels of the cave.
Ilex Forest Ilex Forest is a forest that lies between Azalea Town and Goldenrod City. The most notable item in this forest is a shrine is dedicated to Celebi, the forest's protector. In the Japanese version of Crystal, players could go to a Nintendo Event and use the Mobile Adapter to get the GS Ball, which causes a Celebi to appear when it is placed on the Shrine. The Mobile Adapter feature was taken out in the international versions of the game, however the GS Ball and the events leading to Celebi's appearance are still present and translated, there is just no legit way to get the GS Ball.
Whirl Islands The Whirl Islands are located between Olivine City and Cianwood City. They are the only place a Lugia can be obtained.
The Whirl Islands are rock formations that allow access to an underground cave. They can only be reached when players have obtained HM 06 (Whirlpool), which they can use to clear out the swirling whirlpools that block access to the caves. Once inside, the player can find Lugia if he or she has the Silver Wing.
In the anime, they are much larger and populated. They were featured in the first fourteen episodes of the fifth season, Pokémon: Master Quest, in which Ash and Misty compete in a water Pokémon competition held every three years, the Whirl Cup.
Mt. Mortar Mt. Mortar is a mountain that lies between Ecruteak City and Mahogany Town. Within this mountain trains the Karate King of the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City of the Kanto region. If the player defeats the Karate King with five Pokemon or fewer in the party, he will give the player a Tyrogue. There are three separate entrances to Mt. Mortar, separated by small bodies of water. If he or she chooses, the player can surf through them to reach Mahogany Town, bypassing the mountain entirely.
Ice Path The Ice Path is a cave located to the east of Mahogany Town. This large maze connects Mahogany Town and Blackthorn City. Much of the cave is covered in slippery ice dotted with boulders, which the player must navigate to reach the exit. Many Ice-type Pokémon are only found here.
Tohjo Falls Tohjo Falls (トージョã?®ã?Ÿã??, TÅ?jo no Taki?) is a waterfall that separates Johto from Kanto; the 'Toh' meaning the end of Kanto, the "jo" coming from Johto signifying the beginning of Johto. Located east of New Bark Town, it is the final test of Pokémon trainers who have acquired all eight Johto badges and wish to challenge the Elite Four. In the anime, the Battle Tower is located near Tohjo Falls.
Mt. Silver Mt. Silver (ã‚·ãƒã‚¬ãƒ?ã‚„ã?¾, Shirogane Yama?, Mt. Shirogane in original Japanese language versions) is a mountain that is located in the east of Johto, to the southwest of Indigo Plateau. It resembles Mount Fuji in Japan.
Mt. Silver can only be accessed by beating all 16 gym leaders from the Kanto and Johto regions. Inside, trainers can battle Red at Silver Cave, a small cave near the peak of the mountain. The name and design implies that he is the protagonist from the Red, Blue, and Yellow versions of the game, though the Pokémon in his team (specifically a high level Pikachu) may imply that he is also based on Red from the manga. He says nothing to the player before and after the battle.
In the anime, Silver Town is located on Mt. Silver, where the Johto League Silver Conference is held annually. Trainers fight for the Johto League Trophy and the title of Champion of the Johto Silver Conference. Ash competes in his second Pokémon League tournament here.
Changed Kanto
After beating the Elite Four at the Pokémon League, players can travel through Kanto, the region from the previous games, and see how things have changed over the past three years:
1.The player can meet and battle many of the characters from the previous games, including the rival of the original games, Blue (Green in the Japanese versions). After completing the quests in Kanto, the player can access a new area in Johto and battle Red, the protagonist of the original games. Another quite notable difference is that Koga, gym leader of Fuchsia City (now Elite Four member), has been replaced by his daughter, Janine.
2.Most of the music from the first generation games are used, and have had some major remixing done to most battle themes, and minor remixing done to the remaining tunes.
3.Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are no longer here, partially because they can already be caught in Red/Blue/Yellow. The Cerulean Cave and Mewtwo are also gone, though an NPC does mention the dungeon and an item called a "Berserk Gene" is found in the water near where the Cerulean Cave once was.
4.A key is no longer required to open the door to Lt. Surge in the Vermilion Gym, the garbage cans are all empty (except for trash) and there is no door at all.
5.The Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town is replaced by a Radio Tower, similar to the one in Goldenrod City. In turn, the Pokémon gravesites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Also, you can only go on the first floor due to added security (caused because of Johto's radio tower being taken over by Team Rocket).
6.The abandoned Power Plant is now in use to power the newly-opened Saffron City Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of all the Pokémon that were infesting the plant in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, among whom Zapdos).
7.Team Rocket's headquarters in the basement of the Celadon City casino has been sealed, although it's hinted by the same man in Celadon's Pokémon Center.
8.Copycat still lives in Saffron City, but has moved to another home. Her old house is now the Magnet Train station. After Copycat's house was torn down for the station, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives to you after returning her lost doll from Vermilion City (the doll is found inside the Pokémon Fan Club). According to her mother this is the same doll that Red gives her in the first game for TM 31.
9.The Fighting Dojo leader is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a Focus Band item left behind, which can be held by a Pokémon. The Fighting Dojo leader is training in Mt. Mortar in Johto. He gives you a Tyrogue if you defeat him.
10.The Safari Zone is closed while the warden is "on a vacation". Instead, the Johto Bug-Catching Contest at the National Park takes its place. A portal to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City is also found, but is also not used. A player can use GameShark or a similar device to find the unfinished Safari Zone.
11.A volcano has destroyed everything but the Pokémon Center on Cinnabar Island. Blaine has moved his Gym to the Seafoam Islands due to the volcano eruption in Cinnabar Island (which is why Articuno and all water Pokémon there are no longer available).
12.Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Johto Pokémon exist in the grass. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the Safari Zone, can be caught in nearby wild areas, such as Rhyhorn in Victory Road, Kangaskhan in Rock Tunnel, and Chansey on the long bridge east of Vermillion.
13.The Bike Shop in Cerulean City has been closed down, due to the owners moving to Goldenrod City.
14.Gym Leader rosters are updated to include Johto Pokémon.
15.Blue, the rival in Red and Blue is now the leader of the Viridian City Gym. Giovanni is nowhere to be seen, though he is mentioned. Red, the player’s character from Pokémon Red and Blue and Yellow shows up in Johto, in Mt. Silver and serves as the game's true final boss battle, his highest level Pokémon being a level 81 Pikachu. This is a nod to Ash Ketchum's Pikachu in the Pokémon anime; as Red also has a Snorlax at level 75. He also has a Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard at L77, and Espeon at L73.
16.Victory Road’s length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, trainers, and pressure sensors, explaining why the trainers appear outside (which is why Moltres is no longer there)
17.Viridian Forest has been reduced to that of a small group of trees visible outside the forest entrance, and wild Pokémon can only be caught there on the grass of what used to be Route 2.
18.The other caverns and the Viridian Forest all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of Mt. Moon and the Seafoam Islands), just shrunk down.
The underground passage from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to "vandalism." The game cites local complaints about battles there. The museum in Pewter City is closed for renovations.
19.The "coffee man" in Viridian city has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He then says that he was once good at capturing Pokémon, and asks if you believe him. However, he does not show you how to catch Pokémon regardless of whether you answer "Yes" or "No."
20.Bill's house is still present, but Bill himself now lives in Goldenrod City in Johto. The house is now home to Bill's grandfather, who gives the player a full set of evolution stones one by one after showing specific pokemon that he describes.
21.Most Routes were shortened, but cities and towns remained the same size except Celadon City, which shrunk slightly.
22.Viridian city is now home to the Trainer House, a location where the player can battle one trainer per day. The player will face the last trainer they used Mystery Gift with, along with that trainer's party. If they have yet to unlock or use Mystery Gift, the opposing trainer will have a trio of Level 50 Pokémon, namely Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr.
New Pokemon Six legendary Pokémon were introduced:
1.Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are three mammal-like Pokémon that have been informally called "Legendary Dogs," "Legendary Cats," and "Legendary Beasts." (This is a point of hot contention among fans, though Nintendo usually refers the them by their individual names or as “Legendary Pokémon,” only once having called them cats.) They wander around Johto after they have been “awakened” at the Burnt Tower, changing locations every time the player moves to a new location, though they can be tracked with the Pokédex once sighted. If encountered, they instantly attempt to run away, and if unable, use the move Roar, which ends the battle by forcing the player's retreat. Because of this, many players catch them with a Master Ball to avoid the hassle of attempting a battle. However, if the player does engage them in battle, any HP loss or status effects will stay the next time they are encountered.
2. Ho-Oh and Lugia are two new legendary birds; Ho-Oh is depicted on the cartridge of Gold while Lugia appears on Silver. Of the two, the one depicted on the game cartridge is encountered at level 40, while the other can be found at level 70 after the player defeats the Elite Four. Ho-Oh is said to control Raikou, Entei, and Suicune while Lugia is said to control Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres from Pokémon Red and Blue.
3.Another legendary Pokémon, Celebi, is analogous to Mew in the original set of games. Celebi can only be obtained through devices like GameSharks or through official Nintendo promotions.

Wow, this article should be taken down.
Not only was there plenty of false information concerning the 'hax' game "ShinyGold", but the author of this article failed to form comprehensive information due to rancid spelling and grammatical errors.
I suggest the author of an article on the VBA rom "ShinyGold" should be a writer that's actually played the game.
