'''Cinnabar Island''' (referred to in Japanese as both '''{{tt|グレンじま|Guren Jima}}''' ''Guren Island'' and '''{{tt|グレンタウン|Guren Taun}}''' ''Guren Town'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] region, south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] was once the resident [[Gym Leader]] specializing in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but as of Generation IV, Cinnabar Island no longer has a Gym. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. The island is connected to the mainland by two water routes: {{rt|20|Kanto}} in the east and {{rt|21|Kanto}} in the north, leading to [[Fuchsia City]] and Pallet Town, respectively.


The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca. The journals scattered about the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} suggest that {{p|Mewtwo}} was cloned here. The scientists at the [[Pokémon Lab]] have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their [[Fossil]]s. Two years after the events of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, as seen in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]], and the Cinnabar Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
'''Cinnabar Island''' (Japanese: '''グレン{{tt||じま}}''' ''Guren Island''; '''グレンタウン''' ''Guren Town'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] [[region]], south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] was once the resident [[Gym Leader]] specializing in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but in the [[Johto]]-based games, Cinnabar Island had been ravaged by a volcanic eruption and Blaine has moved the Cinnabar Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]].


==Places of interest==
==Terminology==
===Pokémon Mansion===
===English===
{{main|Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)}}
In English media, this place is usually called '''Cinnabar Island''', regardless of the Japanese dialogue calling it an "Island" or "Town". It is sometimes shortened to just '''Cinnabar'''. For instance:
The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, the main character has to enter the mansion and find the {{key|I|Secret Key|Secret}} {{key|III|Secret Key|Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many {{tc|burglar}}s come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage, challenging the player to a battle when spotted. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the mansion in its escape.
 
* ''"I wasn't in the mood at '''Cinnabar''', but now I'm ready to battle you."'' ({{ga|Blue}}'s quote){{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* ''"We'll be watching over '''Cinnabar''', just waiting to see what will happen!"'' (Radio quote){{sup/4|HGSS}}
 
In the English manual of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is named '''Cinnabar Town''' on the page about the [[Gym Leader]]s.
 
The related adjective is '''Cinnabarian''', as seen when the "'''Cinnabarian''' Hamburger Steak" is mentioned in [[Pokémon X and Y]].
 
In an early anime summary from [[Pokémon.com]], Cinnabar Island was referred to as '''Glen Island''' in English, based on its Japanese name.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19991012205011/http://pokemon.com/cartoons/lastten.html Pokémon World - Cartoons] (archive)</ref>
 
===Japanese===
In Japanese media, Cinnabar Island has two distinct Japanese names—being referred to as both "Island" and "Town". In particular, the area name (as stored on the list of locations in the game data) is the one that appears when the player enters the location and which appears on the Pokémon's [[summary]] or is mentioned by the [[Poké Seer]]{{sup/2|C}} if it was met in this location.
 
* '''{{j|グレン{{ruby|島|じま}}}}''' (''Guren Island'') is the area name{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}, and it also appears on the [[Cinnabar Gym]] signpost{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}.
* '''{{j|グレンタウン}}''' (''Guren Town'') is the area name{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and it also appears on the island's signpost{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] signpost{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, the Cinnabar Gym relocation notice{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and the map guide about the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}.
 
In the [[Generation I]] games, it is referred to as simply '''{{j|グレン}}''' (''Guren'') on the [[Town Map]], just like other cities and towns.
 
==Geography==
Cinnabar is a small island, connected to the mainland by two water routes. To the north is {{rt|21|Kanto}} leading to Pallet Town. To the east is {{rt|20|Kanto}}, which leads to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Further east is another water route, {{rt|19|Kanto}}, which connects northwards to [[Fuchsia City]].
 
The [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] scattered throughout the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} reveal that {{p|Mewtwo}} was created there. The scientists at the [[Cinnabar Lab]] (known as the Pokémon Lab prior to [[Generation VII]]) have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their [[Fossil]]s.
 
Between the three-year gap of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] (as well as their remakes), the island has been decimated by a volcanic eruption. The [[Cinnabar Gym]] has been relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]] as a result.

The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by [[Dr. Fuji]] and appears in the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. The first room of the Pokémon Lab has two people who will offer to [[trade]] Pokémon. The old man will offer his {{p|Electrode}} for a {{p|Raichu}}, and the girl will want to trade her {{p|Tangela}} for a {{p|Venonat}}. In the second room, there is [[Move Tutor|a man]] who will teach {{m|Metronome}} once to one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon; in Generation I, he gives away {{TM|35|Metronome}}. In the third room, there is a scientist who will revive the [[Fossil]]s the player obtained at [[Mt. Moon]] and from the [[Pewter City]] Museum and a person who will trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. In [[Silph Co.]], there is a Pokémon Report stating that Pokémon Lab created {{p|Porygon}}.

==Points of interest==
===Volcano===
===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the volcano that appears on Cinnabar Island cannot be accessed. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located, split into two sections. One is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers, while the other is atop the volcano's crater. In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, three years after the events of [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}}, the volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. What appeared to be a rain-filled crater could also be seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the exterior of the volcano can be scaled with {{m|Rock Climb}}. Judging by the maps of all four [[generation]]s, the volcano originated where the Gym once stood.
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, no volcano is visible on the island, but in Generation VII, the volcano is on the western side, near the Cinnabar Lab and Pokémon Mansion.
 
In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the volcano has erupted on the island, destroying everything with only the [[Pokémon Center]] being rebuilt. In these games, the player can actually see the volcano itself.

The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cinnabar Island, it is based on {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The player is unable to enter the Gym at once; only when they obtain the {{key|I|Secret Key|Secret}} {{key|III|Secret Key|Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the Gym. The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. In Generations II and IV, Blaine's original Gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to a cave in the [[Seafoam Islands]].

Cinnabar Island has a population of 9, making it one of the smallest towns in the [[Pokémon world]]. The volcano eruption destroyed most of the island, with the [[Pokémon Center]] being the only building remaining.
{{main|Blue (game)}}
In Generation II and IV, Blue can be found near the Volcano on Cinnabar Island. After taking the position of the [[Viridian City]] [[Viridian Gym|Gym]] from [[Giovanni]] following the events of Generation I and III, he will return to the Gym after being spoken to here. In Generation IV, he will only return to the Viridian Gym after the player has the other seven Gym Badges from Kanto.

Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar Island, because he was in a bad mood and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification. In [[Generation IV]], the island stays much the same as [[Generation II]], although the volcano is now climbable by {{m|Rock Climb}}.

===Generation II===
Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. Whilst this included heavily condensed versions of most areas from Kanto, no Cinnabar Island can be seen, with two large rocks taking its place.

[[File:Cinnabar Island volcano.png|thumb|200px|right|The opening to the volcano on Cinnabar Island in the anime]]
===Main series===
Cinnabar Island is considered a mere beach resort in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s skip the island entirely or go there for a break from {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. [[Blaine]] runs a hotel for tourists and wears a hippie disguise to hide his real identity as [[Gym Leader]]. His [[Gym]] is located inside of the volcano.
[[File:Cinnabar Island anime.png|thumb|220px|Cinnabar Island in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====[[Original series]]====
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Cinnabar Island is depicted as a tourist resort after the Cinnabar [[Gym Leader]], [[Blaine]], closed the [[Cinnabar Gym]] down due to the large influx of challengers who cared more about souvenirs than battling. However, Blaine secretly constructed a new Gym inside the Cinnabar Volcano.
 
In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on Cinnabar Island for Ash's seventh [[Badge]]. However, they were dismayed to learn that the Gym had been closed down. After saving the Pokémon at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] from being stolen by {{TRT}}, a riddle-loving man told the group about Blaine's new secret Gym and gave them a hint about its location. The group eventually discovered the Gym's secret entrance by accident next to the hot spring at the riddle man's "Big Riddle Inn". Inside the Gym, Ash and his friends found the riddle man, who turned out to be Blaine in disguise. Ash started a Gym battle with Blaine, but had difficulties during the entire match.
 
In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Ash forfeited the Gym battle and retreated to heal his Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneaked into the Gym to steal [[Blaine's Magmar]], but their actions at the heart of the volcano threatened to make it erupt and destroy Cinnabar Island. Ash and his friends assisted Blaine in stopping the eruption, and, as a sign of gratitude, Blaine agreed to have a [[rematch]] with Ash. Since the Gym had been destroyed during the incident, the battle took place at the summit of the volcano. To Ash's surprise, his usually [[Obedience|disobedient]] {{AP|Charizard}} offered to battle Blaine's Magmar. After a heated battle, Charizard emerged victorious, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}. Ash and his friends left the island in [[EP060|the next episode]], headed for [[Viridian City]].


The Cinnabar Gym has two sections in the {{pkmn|anime}}; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers. The other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} was trying to locate the Gym so he could challenge Blaine. He was told by a man who liked telling riddles that the Gym disappeared when Cinnabar Island became a tourist trap. However, the man eventually told Ash that Blaine built another Gym inside of a volcano. When Ash and {{ashfr}} went in, they learned that the riddler was actually Blaine in disguise. Ash and Blaine battled, but Ash had a series of misfortunes. The first was his {{AP|Squirtle}} being defeated by Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}}. Then, his {{AP|Charizard}} refused to listen to him. Finally, {{AP|Pikachu}} received severe burns caused by [[Blaine's Magmar]] and its powerful {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash called off the battle, not wanting Pikachu to get injured. In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', after {{TRT}} had almost destroyed Blaine's Gym (and Cinnabar Island as a result), he agreed to a rematch on his alternate battlefield on top of the volcano. This time, Ash was able to defeat Blaine with the help of his Charizard and its {{m|Seismic Toss}}.
===Pokémon Origins===
Cinnabar Island was visited by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. During his visit, he first explored the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, where he discovered a [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] that would [[PO04|later]] help him identify [[Cerulean Cave]]'s mysterious Pokémon as {{p|Mewtwo}}. After exploring the Mansion, Red challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won, earning the Volcano Badge.

Cinnabar Island debuted in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where [[Team Rocket]] with their {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Magnemite}} were trying to hunt down [[Blaine]] because he had quit Team Rocket. He used his {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Rapidash}}. When he saw {{adv|Red}} he saved him from the cliff just as Team Rocket let out the {{p|Moltres}} they had captured earlier. Blaine told him to use his Rapidash to get to his lab and restore the [[Old Amber]].
[[File:Cinnabar Island Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cinnabar Island in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Cinnabar Island debuted in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', where [[Team Rocket]] was trying to hunt down [[Blaine]] on the island because of him leaving them. When Team Rocket threatened {{adv|Red}}, Blaine showed himself and rescued him. When they tried to escape, Team Rocket sent {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} after them. As Blaine knew that they needed a {{t|Flying}} Pokémon to fight Moltres effectively, he sent Red to [[Cinnabar Lab|his secret laboratory]] to revive his [[Old Amber]]. Thanks to the [[Aero]]dactyl revived by Red, Team Rocket and Moltres were forced to retreat.


Later when Red came back he was joined with an {{p|Aerodactyl}} that he had restored. They defeated Moltres and Team Rocket ran away.
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS064|Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived at Cinnabar Island from the [[Seafoam Islands]]. At the top of the volcano, she saw Blaine training with {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]], after which he invited her to his laboratory. They soon received emergency messages from all over [[Kanto]], revealing that the [[Elite Four]] had started their attack on the region. Both Blaine and Yellow then departed to launch a direct assault against the Elite Four's base at [[Cerise Island]].
 
===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Cinnabar Island made a brief appearance in ''[[PS295|Double Down Deoxys]]'', when Camper Evan and {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}} visited Blaine at his laboratory. Due to the mark left on his arm by {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s cells, Blaine was able to sense Mewtwo's agitation, speculating that it was due to {{adv|Mew}} heading back to the Kanto mainland from [[Faraway Island]].
 
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', {{adv|Sun}} was revealed to have been born and raised at Cinnabar Island before he moved to [[Alola]].
 
===Pokémon Zensho===
Cinnabar Island appeared in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} arrived there after briefly visiting [[Seafoam Islands]]. He immediately headed to the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he met, talked with, and defeated [[Blaine]], with his {{p|Charmeleon}} evolving into {{zensho|Satoshi's Charizard|Charizard}} in the process. Afterwards, Satoshi and Blaine headed back to Seafoam Islands together in order to catch {{p|Articuno}}.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Its Japanese motto is {{tt|グレンの あかは じょうねつの いろ|Guren no aka wa jouretsu no iro}} "''{{tt|Guren|Crimson}}'s red is the color of passion.''"
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Overworld sprite misplacement|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.
* Before [[Generation IV]], its English motto was "''The Fiery Town of Burning Desire''"
* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red while {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is an orange-red mineral that produces the orange-red pigment vermilion. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).
* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where a mountain stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the generations have shown the volcano to be there.
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Man on roof|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.
* Unlike the localizations, in the Japanese versions, Cinnabar Island has two distinctive names: {{tt|グレンじま|Guren Jima}} ''Guren Island'' and {{tt|グレンタウン|Guren Taun}} ''Guren Town''. The former refers to the island itself, while the latter to the town on it. On the [[Town Map|map]], ironically, it is referred to as グレンじま ''Guren Island'' while the town exists (Generations I and III), and as グレンタウン ''Guren Town'' when the town has been destroyed (Generations II and IV). However, both Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} and Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} mention both on different occasions. The system of naming both the island and town is continued in the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''. Despite this, one of its Japanese names ends in ''Town''. However, there is no Gym here in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} as it is located in the [[Seafoam Islands]] instead.
* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{tt|グレン|guren}} ''crimson'' refers to a shade of red while {{tt|クチバ|kuchiba}} ''vermilion'' refers to a shade of orange. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral cinnabar. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}.
* It is the southernmost location in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] that the player can {{m|Fly}} to.

* Cinnabar Island is based on {{wp|Izu Ōshima}}, an inhabited volcanic island off the coast of Japan. Izu Ōshima is the largest and closest of Tokyo's outlying islands. Similarly to Cinnabar's fate in the Generation II and IV games, the island's population were forced to evacuate in both 1965 and 1986 due to major eruptions. Cinnabar being rendered permanently uninhabitable also parallels {{wp|Montserrat}}, an island in the Caribbean whose human settlements were destroyed by the 1995 eruption of the {{wp|Soufrière Hills}} volcano.

Cinnabar Island (Japanese: グレン Guren Island; グレンタウン Guren Town) is a large island located off the southern coast of the Kanto region, south of Pallet Town. It is home to a large volcano. Blaine was once the resident Gym Leader specializing in Fire-type Pokémon, but in the Johto-based games, Cinnabar Island had been ravaged by a volcanic eruption and Blaine has moved the Cinnabar Gym to the Seafoam Islands.

Terminology

English

In English media, this place is usually called Cinnabar Island, regardless of the Japanese dialogue calling it an "Island" or "Town". It is sometimes shortened to just Cinnabar. For instance:

  • "I wasn't in the mood at Cinnabar, but now I'm ready to battle you." (Blue's quote)GSCHGSS
  • "We'll be watching over Cinnabar, just waiting to see what will happen!" (Radio quote)HGSS

In the English manual of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, this is named Cinnabar Town on the page about the Gym Leaders.

The related adjective is Cinnabarian, as seen when the "Cinnabarian Hamburger Steak" is mentioned in Pokémon X and Y.

In an early anime summary from Pokémon.com, Cinnabar Island was referred to as Glen Island in English, based on its Japanese name.[1]

Japanese

In Japanese media, Cinnabar Island has two distinct Japanese names—being referred to as both "Island" and "Town". In particular, the area name (as stored on the list of locations in the game data) is the one that appears when the player enters the location and which appears on the Pokémon's summary or is mentioned by the Poké SeerC if it was met in this location.

In the Generation I games, it is referred to as simply グレン (Guren) on the Town Map, just like other cities and towns.

Geography

Cinnabar is a small island, connected to the mainland by two water routes. To the north is Route 21 leading to Pallet Town. To the east is Route 20, which leads to the Seafoam Islands. Further east is another water route, Route 19, which connects northwards to Fuchsia City.

The journals scattered throughout the abandoned Pokémon Mansion reveal that Mewtwo was created there. The scientists at the Cinnabar Lab (known as the Pokémon Lab prior to Generation VII) have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their Fossils.

Between the three-year gap of Generation I and Generation II (as well as their remakes), the island has been decimated by a volcanic eruption. The Cinnabar Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands as a result.

Points of interest

Volcano

There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In Generation I and III, no volcano is visible on the island, but in Generation VII, the volcano is on the western side, near the Cinnabar Lab and Pokémon Mansion.

In Generation II and IV, the volcano has erupted on the island, destroying everything with only the Pokémon Center being rebuilt. In these games, the player can actually see the volcano itself.

Cinnabar Gym

Main article: Cinnabar Gym

The Cinnabar Gym is the official Gym of Cinnabar Island in Generations I, III, and VII. it is based on Fire-type Pokémon and the Gym Leader is Blaine. Trainers who defeat him receive the Volcano Badge. The player is unable to enter the Gym at once; only when they obtain the Secret Key from the Pokémon Mansion can they unlock the door to the Gym.

It was relocated to the Seafoam Islands following the volcanic eruption in Generation II and IV.

Pokémon Mansion

Main article: Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)

The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon researcher once lived there. To access the Cinnabar Island Gym in Generations I, III, and VII, the player has to enter the mansion and find the Secret Key to unlock the door of the Gym. Many Burglars come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage. Several journal entries can be found around the mansion, describing the discovery of Mew and the creation of Mewtwo.

It has been destroyed as a result of a volcanic eruption by the time of Generation II and Generation IV.

Cinnabar Lab

Main article: Cinnabar Lab

The Cinnabar Lab, known as the Pokémon Lab prior to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by Dr. Fuji and appears in the Generation I games and their remakes. In Generations I and III, the west room of the Cinnabar Lab has two people who will offer to trade Pokémon. In the east room, there is a scientist who will revive the Fossils the player has obtained. In Silph Co., there is a Pokémon Report stating that Cinnabar Lab created Porygon.

Main article: Blue (game)

In Generation II and IV, Blue can be found near the Volcano on Cinnabar Island. After taking the position of the Viridian City Gym from Giovanni following the events of Generation I and III, he will return to the Gym after being spoken to here. In Generation IV, he will only return to the Viridian Gym after the player has the other seven Gym Badges from Kanto.

Differences between generations

Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between Generations I and II as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the Pokémon Center. After the eruption, the Gym was relocated to the Seafoam Islands. Blue can be first found at Cinnabar Island, because he was in a bad mood and decided to take a stroll there. In Generation III, there are a few changes with the visual design, as the Pokémon Mansion and Pokémon Lab are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification. In Generation IV, the island stays much the same as Generation II, although the volcano is now climbable by Rock Climb. In Generation VII, the eastern slope of the volcano is visible close to the Lab and Pokémon Mansion, but is not accessible.

Development

Generation II

Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. Whilst this included heavily condensed versions of most areas from Kanto, no Cinnabar Island can be seen, with two large rocks taking its place.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Pinball

In Pokémon Pinball, Cinnabar Island appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable Pokémon include Growlithe, Ponyta, Grimer, Koffing, Tangela, Magmar, Omanyte, Kabuto and Aerodactyl.

Pokkén Tournament

While Cinnabar Island does not appear in Pokkén Tournament, when fighting Shadow Mewtwo, sometimes Nia will mention having read the "Cinnabar Island docs" on Mewtwo. However, the words "Cinnabar Island" aren't in text, and thus are only noticeable if her voice is turned on.

PokéROM

In PokéROM, the Trainer Race quiz minigame includes a question about this place: "What makes Cinnabar Island an island?" The accepted answer is: "It is surrounded by water."

In the anime

Main series

Cinnabar Island in the anime

Original series

In the anime, Cinnabar Island is depicted as a tourist resort after the Cinnabar Gym Leader, Blaine, closed the Cinnabar Gym down due to the large influx of challengers who cared more about souvenirs than battling. However, Blaine secretly constructed a new Gym inside the Cinnabar Volcano.

In Riddle Me This, Ash and his friends arrived on Cinnabar Island for Ash's seventh Badge. However, they were dismayed to learn that the Gym had been closed down. After saving the Pokémon at the Pokémon Lab from being stolen by Team Rocket, a riddle-loving man told the group about Blaine's new secret Gym and gave them a hint about its location. The group eventually discovered the Gym's secret entrance by accident next to the hot spring at the riddle man's "Big Riddle Inn". Inside the Gym, Ash and his friends found the riddle man, who turned out to be Blaine in disguise. Ash started a Gym battle with Blaine, but had difficulties during the entire match.

In Volcanic Panic, Ash forfeited the Gym battle and retreated to heal his Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneaked into the Gym to steal Blaine's Magmar, but their actions at the heart of the volcano threatened to make it erupt and destroy Cinnabar Island. Ash and his friends assisted Blaine in stopping the eruption, and, as a sign of gratitude, Blaine agreed to have a rematch with Ash. Since the Gym had been destroyed during the incident, the battle took place at the summit of the volcano. To Ash's surprise, his usually disobedient Charizard offered to battle Blaine's Magmar. After a heated battle, Charizard emerged victorious, earning Ash the Volcano Badge. Ash and his friends left the island in the next episode, headed for Viridian City.

Pokémon Origins

Cinnabar Island was visited by Red in File 3: Giovanni. During his visit, he first explored the Pokémon Mansion, where he discovered a journal that would later help him identify Cerulean Cave's mysterious Pokémon as Mewtwo. After exploring the Mansion, Red challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won, earning the Volcano Badge.

Cinnabar Island in Pokémon Adventures

Red, Green & Blue arc

Cinnabar Island debuted in Holy Moltres, where Team Rocket was trying to hunt down Blaine on the island because of him leaving them. When Team Rocket threatened Red, Blaine showed himself and rescued him. When they tried to escape, Team Rocket sent Moltres after them. As Blaine knew that they needed a Flying Pokémon to fight Moltres effectively, he sent Red to his secret laboratory to revive his Old Amber. Thanks to the Aerodactyl revived by Red, Team Rocket and Moltres were forced to retreat.

Yellow arc

In Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine, Yellow arrived at Cinnabar Island from the Seafoam Islands. At the top of the volcano, she saw Blaine training with Camper Evan, after which he invited her to his laboratory. They soon received emergency messages from all over Kanto, revealing that the Elite Four had started their attack on the region. Both Blaine and Yellow then departed to launch a direct assault against the Elite Four's base at Cerise Island.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Cinnabar Island made a brief appearance in Double Down Deoxys, when Camper Evan and Super Nerd Miles visited Blaine at his laboratory. Due to the mark left on his arm by Mewtwo's cells, Blaine was able to sense Mewtwo's agitation, speculating that it was due to Mew heading back to the Kanto mainland from Faraway Island.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

In Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis, Sun was revealed to have been born and raised at Cinnabar Island before he moved to Alola.

Pokémon Zensho

Cinnabar Island appeared in Cinnabar Island, where Satoshi arrived there after briefly visiting Seafoam Islands. He immediately headed to the Cinnabar Gym, where he met, talked with, and defeated Blaine, with his Charmeleon evolving into Charizard in the process. Afterwards, Satoshi and Blaine headed back to Seafoam Islands together in order to catch Articuno.

Trivia

  • Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the Generation I games, such as the old man glitch, due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also a trick to see a man on the roof of the Gym. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.
  • Cinnabar Island and Vermilion City are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since crimson (グレン guren, "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red while vermilion (クチバ kuchiba, "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange. Cinnabar is an orange-red mineral that produces the orange-red pigment vermilion. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the Generation I games when played with the Super Game Boy enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the Game Boy Color enhancements available in the international releases of Pokémon Yellow (including the Virtual Console release).
  • It is the southernmost location in both Kanto and Johto that the player can Fly to.
  • A Cinnabar-related food item is mentioned in the Generation II games and their Generation IV remakes, as well as by a woman in Kiloude City in Pokémon X and Y:
    Cinnabar Volcano Burger (Japanese: グレンふう かざんハンバーグ Guren-Style Volcano Hamburger Steak)GSCHGSS
    Cinnabarian hamburger steak (Japanese: グレン(ふう)ハンバーグ Guren-Style Hamburger Steak)XY
  • In Generation IV, if the player blacks out or uses Teleport when the Cinnabar Island Pokémon Center was the last Pokémon Center they visited, they will be taken to the last Pokémon Center they had visited prior to Cinnabar Island instead. This is likely to prevent the player from being permanently stranded on Cinnabar Island if their only Pokémon can't learn Surf or Fly and they have no means of obtaining another Pokémon.

  • Cinnabar Island is based on Izu Ōshima, an inhabited volcanic island off the coast of Japan. Izu Ōshima is the largest and closest of Tokyo's outlying islands. Similarly to Cinnabar's fate in the Generation II and IV games, the island's population were forced to evacuate in both 1965 and 1986 due to major eruptions. Cinnabar being rendered permanently uninhabitable also parallels Montserrat, an island in the Caribbean whose human settlements were destroyed by the 1995 eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano.
