Places of interest

Celadon Department Store

On the east side of town, a decorative fountain rests before the large Celadon Dept. Store.

Celadon Mansion

Next to the town's Pokémon Center is the Celadon Mansion, where staff members of Game Freak rent a room from an old lady.

Game Corner

Main article: Rocket Game Corner

The southern part of the city caters to travelers and tourists. In addition to a hotel and a restaurant, the Game Corner is a popular spot. The citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for their image.

The Rocket Game Corner sold very rare Pokémon such as Dratini in exchange for coins.

In the Generation I games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket. In Generation II, it has been renamed the Celadon Game Corner and is no longer run by Team Rocket.

Perfume Shop

Attached to the Celadon Gym is a perfume shop, run by Erika herself.

In the anime, Ash Ketchum expressed disgust at the fragrances and was banned from the perfume shop and thus the Gym.
