Cherrygrove City (Japanese: ヨシノシティ Yoshino City) is located in south-central Johto. Though the city has no Gym, it is frequently passed through by Pokémon Trainers on their way to Violet City from New Bark Town. The city acts mainly as a tutorial, introducing the player to the main tools of the game (the Pokémon Center, the Poké Mart, etc.).
Places of interest
City Tour
Guide Gent, who first stands near the east entrance of Cherrygrove, will offer the player a tour of the city. The tour route includes the Pokémon Center, the Pokémon Mart, the exit to Route 30, the sea, and Guide Gent's house. Upon the conclusion of the tour, the player will receive the Map Card for their Pokégear. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he instead gives the player the Running Shoes, and only gives them the Map Card upon leaving Cherrygrove City to the north.
Off-shore island
There is an off-shore island to the west of the town. Trainers are unable to reach the island when they first reach the town, due to the fact they are unable to use Surf. Trainers must gain HM03 in order to access this area. There is a man residing there, that will give the player the Mystic Water.
Demographics
The population of Cherrygrove City is 12, making it the second-smallest in Johto, the smallest being New Bark town.

Trivia
- Cherrygrove City is the second smallest city of Johto, which is ironic since its location is based on Nagoya, which is the third largest city of Japan and the second largest city of the region Johto represents.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the famous pond behind the Pokémon Center is accessible through a new path and an extension of it on Route 30. However, this causes a strange phenomenon: as there is only one information for water Pokémon in a single location, one can find Tentacool and Tentacruel in the Cherrygrove City side of the pond (because they can be found in the ocean near the city). However, the Route 30 water Pokémon information only has Poliwag and Poliwhirl. This causes different Pokémon to appear in different sides of the pond. This also applies to Fishing.
Name origin
Cherries are a type of fruit, while a grove is a multitude of trees near each other. Yoshino (吉野) is a species of Japanese cherry tree.
