The large building in the top-center of town (to the left of the Pokémon Center) is Celadon Mansion. The mansion's current tenants are none other than Game Freak, the team that developed Pokémon! The team leader promises a reward if you bring him a completed Pokédex (meaning all 151 Pokémon were collected), but you can get your hands on something right now if you sneak in the back and up to the top floor: it's an {{bp|Eevee}}, the only one in the game you can get normally (your rival has another one in Pokémon Yellow). Since you can power it up with the Stones available in the Department Store, it should be a powerful addition to your roster but since it starts at level 15, your going to have to train it up quite a bit.</big> | The large building in the top-center of town (to the left of the Pokémon Center) is Celadon Mansion.

'''TM01''' and '''TM05''' are the very useful Normal attacks '''Mega Punch''' and '''Mega Kick''' which has above-average power but their accuracy is a little inaccurate (the kick is more powerful, but less accurate than the punch with an accuracy of 70%). You can give this for your Jigglypuff, Clefairy, and anything else that lacks solid firepower; and '''TM09''' and '''TM17''' are Take Down (Normal attack) and Submission (Fighting attack), powerful attacks that do a portion of their damage back to the user. | ||

You can buy vitamins here, which will slightly increase a base stat of a Pokémon per intake. They come at a very expensive price however, so prepare a huge load of money if you fell like buying a ton of them. On the other hand, there are also X items too and they can come very well in handy for important battles such as Gym Leaders. | ||
Finally, there's the roof. Hit the vending machine and get one of each beverage to give to the little girl wandering around here. Give her the '''Fresh Water''' for '''TM13''' ('''Ice Beam''', which is a super good Ice-type attack to use and has a 10% chance of freezing), the '''Soda Pop''' for '''TM48''' ('''Rock Slide''', a powerful Rock-type move in the hands of a Pokémon that can get STAB off of it) and the '''Lemonade''' for '''TM49''' ('''Tri Attack''', a regular Normal-type attack). However, you can only get one of each TM, so don't think about giving her a ton of Fresh Waters so you can teach Ice Beam to many of your Pokémon or something. Also, fill up your bag with Lemonade! Like the other beverages, these can be used to heal your Pokémon. Fresh Water is the most cost-effective option, costing the least per HP restored! Also, compare Super Potions to Lemonade. Lemonade is the way better deal since it cost half of that of a Super Potion and it restores 30 more HP that it does! Stock up and save! Don't forget to buy an extra beverage for the border guards in order to get to Saffron City. | Finally, there's the roof.

The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices. You need to exchange coins for them, and outside of the few hundred that you can bum from other gamblers or find on the ground, you can only get them by buying them at the rate of 50 coins for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]1000, or winning them in slots. | The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices.

The slots are tricky. The machines do differ, but they go in streaks, changing frequently, so the only way to win is to spend all day putting a few coins into each machine, seeing which ones are "streaking," paying 70% of the time, and hold onto that machine until it runs out (you can usually get 500 or so coins out of them). Other machines retain poor odds (1 in 10 or so) but have frequent high-paying Bars and 7's. So if you get a Bar, stick with it for a while and a Triple-7 is probably ahead. You can redeem your coins next door for TMs and some good Pokémon like {{bp|Dratini}}, but they're hardly worth the amount of time you'd have to spend on the slots to get them. | The slots are tricky.

Here is a helpful tip to earn coins. Bet 3 coins. Count as accurate as you can from 1. As soon as you hit 3, press A once. As soon as you hit 5, press A again. As soon as you hit 7, press A one more time. | Here is a helpful tip to earn coins. Bet 3 coins. Count as accurate as you can from 1. As soon as you hit 3, press A once.

Erika and her Junior Trainers make for one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, since Grass-type Pokémon have so many weaknesses. The weakness to Fire is something Red and Blue players are in a better position to exploit, but everyone can take advantage of the fact that their own Grass-type Pokémon are basically invulnerable to enemy Grass-types. Of course, that goes both ways, so your Pokémon better know some non-Grass techniques to break the stalemate (such as Wrap, Cut or Take Down) or you'll be in for some long matches. Also if you've managed to pick up TM13, Ice Beam works great. You can also teach Ice Beam to your Water-type Pokémon to counter their weakness type although this might be not so effective, as Erika's Pokémon can still take a hit | Erika and her Junior Trainers make for one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, since Grass-type Pokémon have so many weaknesses.

Another type that's helpful against Grass is Psychic, due to the common secondary Poison-type, and if you don't have any strong Psychic-types, you should take this opportunity to get them some experience before you end up relying on them in the Pokémon Tower. Flying-type Pokémon also have a great advantage. Pidgeot and Fearow can use Wing Attack and Drill Peck. You can also use a Fire-type Pokémon, such as Vulpix, Growlithe and Charizard (who is also secondary Flying-type). While the game does say that Ground-type moves are effective against dual Grass and Poison-types, its actually false however, so the above options are better. Be sure to bring some Ethers or Elixers if you don't want to make repeated return trips to the Pokémon Center to refill the 10 PP. | Another type that's helpful against Grass is Psychic, due to the common secondary Poison-type, and if you don't have any strong Psychic-types, you should take this opportunity to get them some experience before you end up relying on them in the Pokémon Tower.
