The Pokémon Mansion (Japanese: ポケモンやしき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 Generation I and Generation III, the player has to enter the mansion and find the Secret Key to unlock the door of the Gym.
The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in Mewtwo statues.
Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientist who once worked there obtained a Mew and cloned it to create Mewtwo, who destroyed the Mansion in its escape.

Red was seen visiting the Pokémon Mansion in the Pokémon Origins episode File 3 - Giovanni. The Mansion used to be full of different kind of Pokémon, but was now just an old, abandoned house. While exploring the Mansion, Red found a journal decribing the discovery of a new species of Pokémon.
The Pokémon Mansion was also referenced in File 4 - Charizard, where Red recalled reading the entries in the journal, leading to him identifying the Pokémon Blue had recently fought against and lost to as Mewtwo, possibly created in the very same Mansion Red visited and found the journal from.
