Olivine City (Japanese: アサギシティ Asagi City) is located on the Johto coast, near Ecruteak City and Cianwood City.

Places of interest

Glitter Lighthouse

Main article: Glitter Lighthouse

File:HGSS Olivine Lighthouse.png

Glitter Lighthouse's beacon at night

Olivine is home to the Glitter Lighthouse, illuminated by an Ampharos, aptly named Amphy. It is here that trainers will first find Jasmine, the Olivine Gym Leader, from a hint by their rival. Amphy is an Ampharos who serves as a beacon for the lighthouse. Recently, Amphy has become ill, and Jasmine, nurturing Amphy to health, will not leave for any reason. She asks the player if he or she will travel across the sea to nearby Cianwood City to get a special medicine, then bring it back to her. While Jasmine has no fightable junior Trainers in her Gym, the lighthouse poses a challenge which provides more than enough of a counterbalance to it, as there are many trainers on each of its floors.

In Generation IV, Gentleman Preston and Lass Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door for them leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom. Due to the addition of an elevator, the Lighthouse was redesigned so that the ground floor was a tourist deck, and no Trainer can be found training until the upper floors are reached.

Olivine Port

Main article: S.S. Aqua

File:SS Aqua GenIV.png

S.S. Aqua pulling out of Olivine Port

Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine Port has a ferry to Vermilion City, the S.S. Aqua, only accessible after beating the Elite Four and getting the S.S. Ticket from Professor Elm. The player can only ride it from Olivine City to Vermilion City on Mondays and Fridays due to the staff resting up.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua can be sailed from Kanto to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and sails from Johto to Kanto each Monday and Friday. Trainers can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled. If the player returns to the city they boarded the ferry from and boards it again, they can battle the trainers again. This can be useful for leveling up lower-level Pokémon in Gold, Silver and Crystal whilst earning money fairly quickly.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the ship implies that the S.S. Aqua travels to Sinnoh, as he mentions finding plates there. However, the ship does not appear in any of the games that take place there.

Olivine Café

Olivine Café is a restaurant that is west of the Pokémon Center. Its known to be a place for Sailors to stop after a long trip on the sea to rest and eat. Olivine Café strives itself for its generous-sized menu that is "clock-full of hearty fare for beefy Sailors". The Café consists of a bar with many stools around it and a curricular-shaped table surrounded with seats. Many people there are happily eating their food; one nearly chokes because he hadn't chewed before he swallowed. A sailor who eats there gives away HM04 (Strength) in Generation II, however, in Generation IV the sailor will suggest to go to Mt. Mortar to find Hikers with an extra HM04.

Seal Girl

Once the player has obtained the Seal Case in Generation IV, a young girl in the north-easternmost house of Olivine will give the player three random Seals once per day when one talks to her. There is also a Trainer in Olivine Pokémon Center that shows off her Ball Capsule with Seals.

Demographics

Olivine City's population is 27, which is fairly high for a port city in Pokémon games. Since Olivine is a port city, many Sailors and Fisherman stay here or even dwell in the city. The northern district is mainly an urban area, which dwells families and other people. Meanwhile the southern district is host to many seaside tourist attractions, like the Glitter Lighthouse and the Olivine Café.

Trainers with a Vs. Seeker by their names, when alerted for a rematch using the item, may use higher-level Pokémon.

Name origin

The name "Olivine" may come from the plant olive and the word vine, as Johto's cities are all named for plants. Another possible origin is in the mineral olivine. Asagi means light yellow (浅黄) or light blue (浅葱).

Trivia

"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."

• A remix of this town's music, which it shares with Violet City, can be heard on Six and Seven Islands.
• The layout of the city is very similar to Sunyshore City with exits to the north and west of the city, two houses in the northeastern corner, a gym in the northwestern corner, and a lighthouse in the southeastern corner where the city's Gym Leader can first be found. TM57 is also available in both. This might also explain why Jasmine, the city's gym leader is found visiting Sunyshore City.
• There is programming in the game for a house in Olivine City that was not used in the final game. Inside, a woman mentions a pharmacy in Ecruteak City, not Cianwood City. This suggests that either the pharmacy could have been originally planned for Ecruteak City, or that Cianwood City may have been added to the game at the last minute.
• Its Generation II motto was "The Port Closest to Foreign Lands".
