Player's house
The bedroom is the room that the player resides in within his or her own house. It is usually where the player first starts the game and where the player ends up after beating the Pokémon League. Most versions of the bedroom include a PC, a bed, and often the current Nintendo console connected to a television. Also, in most games, there is a Potion already stored in the PC's item storage.
Generation I
In Red, Blue, and Yellow
In Generation I, Red's bedroom has a PC, a bed, and a TV with an SNES hooked up to it. It serves no other purpose, although the PC can be used to access the player's item storage.
Generation II
In Gold, Silver, and Crystal
Gold or Kris's bedroom is a bit fancier than Red's. Unlike Red's, it can also be customized to include several Poké Dolls, as well as beds, game systems, and carpets. The Town Map hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several posters of different Pokémon.
The bedroom can be viewed in 3D in Pokémon Stadium 2.
Generation III
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
Brendan or May's bedroom, which are essentially reflections of each other, feature a toned-down version of the Generation II decoration system, as now players are only able to decorate Poké Dolls on the mat. Much of the customization, however, has been moved into the player's secret base. A clock on the wall in the room is also the only indicator of time in the game. The game system in the room is a Nintendo GameCube with a Game Boy Advance hooked up to it as a controller.
Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are the only versions of the game where the player does not start in their bedroom, instead beginning in the back of a moving van, having moved from the region of Johto to Hoenn.
In FireRed and LeafGreen
FireRed and LeafGreen feature an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I. The only difference is the SNES being replaced with a NES.
In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
While Pokémon XD starts with Michael inside of the Battle Sim instead of his bedroom, there is in fact a bedroom that can be used for healing Pokémon within the building, and it is where Michael ends up after Greevil's defeat.
Generation IV
In Diamond and Pearl
Due to the PC no longer having the item storage functionality, Lucas or Dawn's PC only gives hints on how to play the game. The secret bases return from Generation III; however, they are now underground. This time the console is a Wii.
Trivia
- Pokémon Colosseum is the only game where the player can capture Pokémon that does not show its player's bedroom. Instead, after the defeat of Evice, Wes and Rui end up back at the Outskirt Stand.
