The Town Map (Japanese: タウンマップ Town Map) is the first and most basic of the map devices used by players of the Pokémon games, and is the navigational item for all Generation I games, FireRed and LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, all Generation V games, and X and Y. In these games, it is a Key Item, but they can also be found in Pokémon Centers in Generations III and IV, as well as in gates in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In the Johto region, the player receives a map card after being given a tour of Cherrygrove City by the Guide Gent which allows the player to check the Town Map on the Pokégear in Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver. In the Hoenn region, the PokéNav and PokéNav Plus have a built-in map that also has the same function as the Town Map for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the Rotom Pokédex has a detailed Town Map for each of Alola's four islands, as well as the exterior of Aether Paradise. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Town Map is part of the menu.

Effect
Kanto
In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, as well as FireRed and LeafGreen, Daisy Oak will give it to the player after the player receives a starter Pokémon and delivers Oak's Parcel to the Professor. If it is not obtained here, then it will be given by Celio at One Island in Generation III.

At first, the map will only display the Kanto region. During Generation III, after the player has ventured into the Sevii Islands, Celio will give them an upgraded map, featuring One, Two, and Three Islands. After defeating the Elite Four and getting the National Pokédex, Celio will upgrade the map to its complete extent, revealing the final four Sevii Islands. The map display can be changed among the four sections (mainland Kanto; One, Two, and Three Island; Four and Five Island and Navel Rock; and Six, Seven, and Birth Island) at will after getting each new map.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, certain locations have a guide (Japanese: ガイド guide) that details information on important places. This feature was expanded for every location on the Town Map starting in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player will receive the Town Map from their Mom instead after they've received the Pokédex from Professor Oak.

Sinnoh
A new, separate Town Map was introduced in Sinnoh, and serves as a complimentary map application to the Pokétch. The Sinnoh Town Map offers flavor text descriptions of all visited locations in the game, and of all routes, visited or not. However, areas such as Fullmoon Island will not be shown unless the player goes there. It resembles a Nintendo DS.

The Map is obtained in Jubilife City, when visiting the Trainers' School. The player receives it from his or her rival, Barry, upon giving him the Parcel from his mother.

Interestingly, Platinum's Town Map text data appears to have been taken directly from Diamond and Pearl: this is evidenced by Route 212's description including a reference to the house where shards can be traded for TMs. However, in Platinum, the TM-trading woman has been replaced by a Move Tutor.

In the anime
In Dreams by the Yard Full!, similar to Max with his PokéNav in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire and Brock with his Pokégear in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, Cilan is shown to have a Town Map for his journeys with Ash and Iris. It seems to have the ability to look up and locate various landmarks and natural occurrences as seen in Cottonee in Love! when Cilan uses it to track the flow of the wind, and in Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open! when he locates plants used for an antidote for poison at the bottom of a lake.

In Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!, Cilan was seen examining the Town Map of Kanto and Johto while planning how he and Iris would continue traveling.

In A Battle of Aerial Mobility!, Clemont was revealed to own a Town Map.

In Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!, Serena was revealed to own a Town Map. Along with the map and current location shown on the left hand screen, the right hand screen can be used for a variety of other uses, including watching announcements for upcoming Pokémon Showcases by Monsieur Pierre. The device can also be used to search for information, as shown in Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction where Serena used it to find out that Diancie could make diamonds.

Town Map
Main article: Town Map (Boundaries Crossed 136)
Town Map was introduced as an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese Freeze Bolt expansion, it later debuted in English in the Boundaries Crossed expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration by Toyste Beach. This Trainer card allows the player to flip their Prize cards face-up for the remainder of the game.
Trivia

"A map of the Kanto region! I hope she gives it to me..."
Before the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, the only in-game source mentioning the name of the Kanto region was the Japanese-language text when examining the Town Map in Blue's house before the player obtains it.

PokéNav
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

PokéNav

Menu of the PokéNav in Pokémon Emerald
A Pokémon Navigator (Japanese: ポケモンナビゲーター Pokémon Navigator), more often referred to as PokéNav (Japanese: ポケナビ PokéNavi), is an electronic device found in Hoenn. It was produced by the Devon Corporation under the orders of Mr. Stone, who wanted to find a way to keep track of a Pokémon's feelings.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Mr. Stone gives the player one as a reward for recovering the Devon Goods from Team Aqua or Team Magma. They appear to be small, compact-disc-shaped devices. It was introduced in Generation III. Similar devices are the Pokégear, the Pokétch, and the C-Gear.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the PokéNav is replaced by the PokéNav Plus and is obtained at the start of the game with just AreaNav. More Navs are added throughout the game: DexNav from May on Route 101 after obtaining the Pokédex, PlayNav from Wally in Petalburg City after the capture tutorial and BuzzNav when the player would receive the PokéNav in Generation III.

In the anime, Max has a PokéNav he received as a traveling gift from his parents. The main function is the map which slightly reduced the number of times that Ash got lost. In the Ever Grande Conference, it provided all the latest battle results along with statistics on each competitor.

They are chiefly useful for Trainers to contact and re-battle other Trainers, as well as for Coordinators to keep track of a Pokémon's status for Contests.

Functions
Map
The PokéNav displays a map of Hoenn, along with the current location of its owner. It is also possible to zoom in to display a basic layout of towns and cities with important buildings differentiated by color.

Condition
The PokéNav checks the Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough condition of Pokémon in detail. It can be set to search only through party Pokémon, or all Pokémon owned combined.

Trainer's Eyes
Main article: List of Trainer's Eye Trainers
In Ruby and Sapphire, the PokéNav will keep track of 69 unique Trainers and alert the user when they want a rematch. The only requirement is that the player must have obtained five Badges first. It also has information on Gym Leaders and Pokémon League members, though they cannot be battled through this function.

The more often the player steps in an area that includes a Trainer that can be rematched, the more likely each Trainer in that area is going to be ready for a rematch.

Match Call
Main article: List of Trainer's Eye Trainers
In Pokémon Emerald, the Trainer's Eyes function is replaced by the Match Call function. In addition to the features of the Trainer's Eyes, Match Call allows its user to call anyone who has had their PokéNav registered with the user, similar to the cell-phone feature of the Pokégear. An advantage that the Match Call has over Trainer's Eyes is that after any of the unique Trainers are defeated, they typically identify themselves and have their number listed, which makes it easier to know where they are. However, in order to register Match Call-registrable Trainers who were battled prior to receipt of the PokéNav, the user will need to manually seek out and talk to said Trainers. The Match Call can also keep track of more Trainers than Trainer's Eyes, including having a few other non-Trainers, like the player's mother and Professor Birch, listed.

After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, each Gym Leader will offer to rematch the player in a Double Battle. Unlike regular Trainers, walking in the same area as a Gym Leader does not make them more likely to be ready for a rematch.

In Pokémon Emerald, Trainers registered with the PokéNav's Match Call function will call more often if a Pokémon with the Ability Lightningrod leads the party.

Ribbons
The PokéNav will display the Ribbons the Pokémon have acquired, either via Contests or special events. This function can only be unlocked when a Pokémon gains a Ribbon.

In the anime

PokéNav in the anime
Max received a PokéNav in There's no Place Like Hoenn given to him by his father as a traveling gift. During the group's adventures, the PokéNav was useful for their travels through Hoenn and Kanto. However, the device performs poorly in areas with particularly strong magnetic fields like the Forbidden Forest. The PokéNav also isn't waterproof, as seen when Max spilled orange juice onto the device in Stairway to Devon.

During the Ever Grande Conference, several new functions of the PokéNav were revealed. Max used it to keep track of the battle rounds and record statistics on various Trainers like Clark, as seen in Shocks and Bonds.

In The Right Place and The Right Mime, Tracey upgraded Max's PokéNav to allow it to locate the Battle Frontier facilities. Scott, the owner of the Battle Frontier, also has a PokéNav.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga

PokéNav in Pokémon Adventures
Ruby is the first main character to use this device, first receiving a PokéNav from Wally as thanks for helping him catch his first Pokémon, a Kecleon. Like in the games, it contains information regarding the map of the Hoenn region, and can view a Pokémon's condition stats, and its current level. The latter feature was used especially by Emerald for his Battle Frontier challenges, as while he had no interest in Pokémon Contests like Ruby did, the PokéNav was needed to see levels and stats for the borrowed Pokémon from the Battle Factory.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Ruby was seen with a PokéNav in Something Happened!!! Let's Go After Pikachu!!.

Hoenn League
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Hoenn League (Japanese: ホウエンリーグ Hoenn League) is the regional Pokémon League of the Hoenn region. The Hoenn League is composed of eight Hoenn Gym Leaders and the Hoenn Elite Four members. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight Gym Badges by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Hoenn League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in Ever Grande City.

In the anime, Trainers who collect eight Badges can enter the Hoenn League championship competition, known as the Ever Grande Conference.

Gym
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

The Gym symbol, introduced in Generation V
A Gym (Japanese: ジム Gym) (short for Pokémon Gym) is a place where Pokémon Trainers go to train their Pokémon. Just like real-life gymnasiums, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their battling skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain experience.

Often specializing in a particular type, Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the Gym Leader, who is revered by both the lower-ranking members of the Gym and local fans. Usually, Gyms are designed to follow and suit the type that the Gym specializes in, such as Wattson's Gym that has electric gates to indicate that it is Electric. However, there are also Gyms that do not practice this, such as Viridian Gym or Cinnabar Gym.

Official Gyms are certified by a Pokémon League, and at least eight official Gym Badges are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge. Gyms are vital to a Pokémon Trainer's journey; they may have to travel far and wide, as there can only be one Gym per city. There are also unofficial Gyms that are not certified, many of which are prestigious nonetheless.

In core series games
Official Gyms
Most official Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader. Their teams typically consist of the same type of Pokémon that the Gym Leader has. These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated, with the exception of those found in Driftveil GymB2W2.

The Gym guide routinely stands at the entrance of the Gym, giving the player advice about the type advantages corresponding to the signature type of the Gym Leader.

There are generally eight known official Gyms in core series regions that include Gyms. In Galar, Gym Leaders typically are fought in Stadiums that welcome spectators and facilitate the use of Dynamax through a Power Spot.

Reason: HGSS pictures different colors, Generation VI pictures.
Generations II, V, VI, and VIII have a unique design for each Gym (except Cinnabar Gym, which is destroyed). However, in Generation II, the only difference is the shape and color of the roof, with the exception of Saffron and Cerulean Gyms. In Generation VIII, the only differences are the color scheme and the type logo above the entrance.

Unofficial Gyms
Saffron City Dojo
Main article: Fighting Dojo
The Trainers of this Gym specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon. It used to be an official Gym until Sabrina defeated its Leader, Kiyo. After the player defeats the Dojo's Karate Master Kiyo, he will give the player either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan as a reward.

Prestige Precept center
Main article: Prestige Precept Center
Also known as the Pre Gym, this unofficial Gym of Phenac City doubles as an academy. In Pokémon Colosseum, its Leader, Justy, will not battle the Trainer until they have at least six Pokémon, and will give away TM27 (Return).

Kantonian Gym
Main article: Kantonian Gym
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, there is an unofficial Gym in Malie City modeled after the Vermilion Gym from Kanto. The Leader of this Gym will give the Surge Badge after the player defeats him for the first time.

In Pokémon GO
Main article: Gym (GO)

A Gym in Pokémon GO, claimed by Team Valor, with a Metagross as its strongest Pokémon
In Pokémon GO, Gyms are located at various locations in the real world, being depicted as large towers in the Map View.

If a Gym tower is red, yellow, or blue, that Gym is currently controlled by the team of that color; if a Gym tower is white, that Gym is currently not controlled by any team.

After selecting a team (which can only be done after reaching level 5), a player can battle at Gyms. At Gyms of an opposing team, players can challenge them in order to decrease the motivation of Pokémon in the Gym, causing it to leave if its motivation hits 0. If all of a Gym's Pokémon are removed, the Gym becomes free to be claimed by any team.

Raid Battles occur exclusively at Gyms.
In the anime
In the anime, Trainers challenge Gyms in order to earn Badges, which grant them entry to that region's Pokémon League Conference. All official Gyms present in the core series games have been featured in the anime.

With the exception of the Orange Islands, most regions seem to have at least eight Gyms which Trainers can choose to challenge, and winning Badges from any eight qualifies a Trainer for the region's Pokémon League Conference. In Unova, while Ash originally intended to earn the Legend Badge, he ultimately earns the Toxic Badge from the Virbank Gym as his eighth Badge instead.

Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as Gary Oak earning ten Badges in Kanto. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in Hoenn, 11 in Sinnoh, 14 in Unova, and 11 in Kalos. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games.

Gyms can be battled in any order, with Ash and his friends seeming to pick out Gyms based on their current location. However, at times, a certain Gym order has been implied in the anime. In the case of Hoenn, Ash originally challenges Norman in There's No Place Like Hoenn, at which time Norman explains to Ash that he must have three Pokémon to challenge the Petalburg Gym officially. Instead, Norman points to Rustboro as the first Gym Ash should face.

In Kalos, due to Clemont's perception of an ideal challenger of the Lumiose Gym, he programmed the Clembot—the substitute Gym Leader—to throw out challengers who did not have four Kalos Gym Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont was able to reprogram the Clembot, he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.

Gyms are inspected by the Pokémon Inspection Agency, which can shut down Gyms which are not up to standard. The Agency can also determine whether unofficial Gyms are worthy of becoming official.

Rules
Most Gym battles are conducted as Single Battles, although some have been held as Double Battles.

In most cases, Gym Leaders are not permitted to switch Pokémon while challengers are; although those that Ash encountered before Blaine did switch, since Ash's match against Blaine in Riddle Me This, only Lenora has switched out a Pokémon. Challengers are usually only allowed to use the same number of Pokémon as the Gym Leader, but some Gym battles—such as with Roxie and Grant—have exceptions. In a Gym battle, a Pokémon is determined unable to be unable to battle when declared as such by a battle judge.

Gym Leaders appear to be able to impose their own rules, in addition to the standard set of rules for Gym battles. In particular, the Orange Crew all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

Special rules
For Mossdeep Gym's Mind Badge, Ash battled Tate and Liza in a Double Battle. For Anistar Gym's Psychic Badge, he battled Olympia in a Double Battle.
Juan of Sootopolis Gym has a unique two round system, with the first round being a Double Battle. Once the challenger wins the first round, they enter the second round, battling against three of his Pokémon in a Single Battle. Only the challenger is allowed to substitute, and can use five Pokémon.
When Ash challenged Whitney of the Goldenrod Gym in Johto to a rematch, he fought three-on-one in his favour, with Whitney only using her Miltank.
For the Striaton Gym's Trio Badge, the challenger can choose which of the three Gym Leaders they want to battle. However, Ash challenged all three triplets, making the battle a best-two-out-of-three tournament, with Ash only earning a Badge after defeating at least two of the Gym Leaders.
For the Nacrene Gym's Basic Badge, both the challenger and the Gym Leader use the same number of Pokémon, with both being allowed to make substitutions.
For the Mistralton Gym's Jet Badge, the challenger and the Gym Leader used to engage in "Air Battles". In these, the Gym Leader first displays her three chosen Pokémon, followed with the challenger revealing their own three, then the Gym Leader decides the outcome of the battle using her own experience without even physically battling.
For the Virbank Gym's Toxic Badge, the battle was teams were three-on-six in Ash's favor, with only him being allowed to make substitutions.
For the Cyllage Gym's Cliff Badge, the Gym Leader uses only two Pokémon, while the challenger has access to all of theirs.
Orange League
In the anime-exclusive Orange League, the four Gym Leaders each have their own special requirements challengers must meet in order to gain their Gym Badges.

For the Coral Eye Badge, the challenger and Gym Leader Cissy go head-to-head in three water-based physical challenges using their Water-type Pokémon.
For the Sea Ruby Badge, the challenger must complete two of Gym Leader Danny's three challenges, though they were only qualified to do so if they could pass his pre-test, which was to climb a mountain to the peak, where the Gym is located. These challenges are to freeze a geyser with their Pokémon's ice attack, build a bobsled (or toboggan) from said geyser with the help of three of their Pokémon, and compete in a bobsled race down the side of the mountain against Danny.
For the Spike Shell Badge, Gym Leader Rudy assigns the challenger an attack challenge in which they must use their Pokémon to knock down all the targets on a tricky water course. If they pass this pre-test, they must defeat Rudy in a three-on-three battle, with Pokémon of the same type battling each other.
For the Jade Star Badge, the challenger must battle Gym Leader Luana in a Double Battle.
Puzzles
Some Gyms also require the challenger to undergo a trial or a test before they can battle the Gym Leader.

The Fuchsia Gym in Kanto was set up like a ninja house and riddled with traps, with the Trainers had to make their way through before they were allowed to challenge the Gym Leader.
The Cinnabar Gym (again in Kanto) was hidden, and required challengers to find it by solving the riddles given by the disguised Gym Leader, Blaine.
The Nacrene Gym in Unova could only be accessed if the Trainer picks the right book in an entire library.
The Lumiose Gym in Kalos, when under the charge of the Clembot, used to first require Trainers to have four Badges before they could challenge the Gym.

In Pokémon Origins
All eight Kanto Gyms featured in the games Pokémon Red and Green were shown in Pokémon Origins, which primarily showcased Red challenging the Pewter Gym in File 1: Red and the Viridian Gym in File 3: Giovanni.

Unlike the main series anime, the Gyms closely follow the system utilised in the games, where the challenger is able to use all Pokémon in their team against the Gym Leader. Gyms also have scoreboards featuring each Trainer's current Pokémon and their remaining HP. Gym Leaders may also hand out a TM along with their Badge, and are shown to be capable of altering their Pokémon used in battle, with Brock choosing two out of six potential Pokémon, and Giovanni using a different set of Pokémon than those used against his battle with Blue.

Unofficial Gyms
A.J.'s Gym
This Gym is run solely by the Trainer A.J., and is notable for its rigorous training methods. It is unknown what prize if any A.J. gave to any victorious challengers, because he left it to enter the Pokémon League after he defeated 100 challengers in a row using only his Sandshrew. This Gym appears in The Path to the Pokémon League.

Fighting Spirit Gym
This Gym was run by Anthony, who was training his Hitmonchan for the P1 Grand Prix. It did not appear to be used for actual Pokémon battles. Instead, it had the appearance of a gym used for training and exercising. This Gym appears in The Punchy Pokémon.

Kaz Gym
This Gym in Dark City wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the Pokémon League. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is an Electabuzz. This Gym appears in Showdown at Dark City and is run by Kaz.

Yas Gym
This Gym in Dark City wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the Pokémon League. The Gym Trainers specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon but the Gym Leader's Pokémon is a Scyther. This Gym appears in Showdown at Dark City and is run by Yas.

Coastline Gym
This is an unofficial Gym that appeared in Just Add Water. It is located on the outskirts of Blackthorn City. Led by Dorian, the Gym specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Unlike the other Water-type Gyms, Dorian holds his battles underwater.

Although the Gym is unofficial, Dorian is hoping that it will become more popular by word-of-mouth. In fact, after Ash and his friends visited the Gym, they promised they would tell everyone at the Silver Conference about it. However, it hasn't been mentioned since then.

Anthony's Gym
Anthony (not to be confused with the Anthony mentioned above) ran an unofficial Gym purely for bragging rights. His powerful Pelipper and its peculiar move set, including Vine Whip and Flamethrower, were eventually revealed to be a well orchestrated hoax. Anthony admitted that Pelipper carried Pokémon inside its mouth. As a result, Anthony decided to close the Gym and travel with Pelipper. This Gym appears in You Said a Mouthful!.

Powerzone Gym
This is an unofficial Gym run by Jessie, James, and Meowth in Gymbaliar!. They used the Gym as a method of training and building strategies, however they were on a losing streak until a wild Croagunk appeared and was used as Jessie's powerhouse.

Kantonian Gym
The Kantonian Gym from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon appeared in Aiming for the Top Floor!. In the anime, it is run by Ryuki, and is not themed after any Kanto Gym in particular, with its ninja theming being based on assumptions made on Kantonian culture. As a result, there are a few differences between the Kantonian Gym challenge and a typical Gym challenge in the anime. Unlike most Gyms, visitors must face the challenges of the four Kantonian Gym Trainers before advancing to the Leader. However, these challenges are not Pokémon battles, like in the games, but a ninja-themed set of obstacles.

In the manga
050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Missing other manga.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In early chapters of Pokémon Adventures, Gym buildings were likely to be seen only when a character challenged the Gym Leader, as the building would host their Gym battle. In particular, Roxanne's Gym in Rustboro City appeared to be retractable, the building acting as both an examination hall and a battlefield.

The Gyms featured in the Diamond & Pearl and Black & White chapters started to incorporate the interior layouts directly from the games, to feature obstacles that Platinum and Black respectively had to overcome in order to reach the Gym Leader. This was not applicable for their final Gym challenges, as they challenged their respective opponents outside of the Gym.
In the TCG
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, all Gyms are Stadium cards, which provide a specific effect while they are in play.

Trivia
For Gymbaliar!, Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia is about Gyms. He writes this senryū about them: 「かてるまで　なんどもちょうせん　ポケモンジム」 "Until you win, battle again and again; that is a Pokémon Gym."
This is also the episode Team Rocket set up a fake Gym, with Jessie acting as its Leader.
In Generation I, a glitch allows Trainers to fish in the statues at the front of the Gyms.
As the Fighting Dojo in Kanto was once official, every region except Unova has had a Fighting-type Gym at one time.
Despite the above fact, there has been a Fighting-type specialist in every region, either as a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member.
A Trainer in the Glitter Lighthouse also says Jasmine used to specialize in Rock-type Pokémon, meaning every region except Unova has had a Rock-type Gym at one time.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, each Gym's frame is colored according to the type, except for the Viridian Gym, which has no specialist type. The Viridian Gym's frame is green.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, walking Pokémon are not allowed in the Blackthorn Gym and Viridian Gym because the flooring is unstable. Coincidentally, both Gyms are the last of the Gyms challenged in Johto and Kanto, respectively.
Eight of the eleven Unova Gyms serve dual purposes, both as a place of battle and as a service: Striaton Gym is a restaurant, Nacrene Gym is a museum and library, Castelia Gym is a gallery showcasing the paintings of Gym Leader Burgh, Nimbasa Gym is a set of roller coasters to go with the Ferris Wheel in Nimbasa City in Pokémon Black and White or a fashion show catwalk in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Driftveil Gym is a mining operation, Mistralton Gym is an airplane hangar, Aspertia Gym is a school, and Virbank Gym is a music club.
In Generations V and VI, Gyms do not take on a single appearance, with their look being customized to suit the Gym Leader's specialist type. Gyms previously only had unique designs in Generation II, where the roof colors differed between Gyms.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, every Gym has, with the exception of Aspertia Gym, a unique remix of the usual Pokémon Gym theme music.
Alola is the only region introduced in the core series to not feature any Gyms. A similar role is fulfilled by the island challenge.

POKÉMON TRAINER'S SCHOOL
"We'll teach you anything about POKÉMON!"
Inside are five students and a teacher, who will give out the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information for new players. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of status conditions (Poison, Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, and Sleep) that may affect Pokémon in a battle.

In Pokémon Emerald, Scott can be encountered left of the entrance.

The school's symbol
Ash and his friends visited the Pokémon Trainers' School in Gonna Rule The School!. Roxanne, the Rustboro Gym Leader works as a teacher there. She describes it as a place where "students can learn all about the world of Pokémon‎". As a teacher, she promotes the cooperation between the students and says that they are not to compete with one another but to learn and grow together as friends, and promote good interactions between humans and Pokémon.

The school's motto is "Go forth together with me, friend".

Besides the classrooms, the school has a large Poké Ball deposit room, meant to store the many rental Pokémon available at the academy, and several outdoor battlefields for its students to practice on.

The school is divided into four classes, including:

Beginner's Class
A class that has a classroom with a huge TV screen for receive lectures via videophone from authorities like Professor Oak‎. It is taught by Roxanne, and sometimes the students have field trips. They also have Pokémon battle training where they choose one random Pokémon for the battle.
Pokémon Doctor's Class
A class that is for potential future Pokémon Doctors, taught jointly by a teacher and a Nurse Joy.
Pokémon Battle Class
A class that has its own battle arena and a referee.
Pokémon Contest Class
A class for future Pokémon Coordinators to learn about Pokémon Contests and practice ideas for appeals. After training, there is a quiz.

A Pokémon Center (Japanese: ポケモンセンター Pokémon Center), also shortened to PMC in Pokémon Sun and Moon or Pokécen or Pokésen (Japanese: ポケセン) in Japan, is a type of building that provides regulatory services for Pokémon Trainers. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the Pokémon world; every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Some Pokémon Centers can be found outside of towns next to large forests or caves. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing Pokémon free of charge.

In the games, Pokémon Centers consist of a healing station run by a Pokémon Center Nurse, a PC, a trading connection club, a battling connection club (neither of which require wired connections as of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen), and various NPCs that vary upon location (in rural areas, no NPCs may be present). As of Generation V, salesmen from the Poké Mart and the deliveryman (in Generation V and VII) or delivery girl (in Generation VI) appear when the Mystery Gift function is activated, due to its integration with the Pokémon Center. Mr. Medal also appears here in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 when awarding the player any Medals. The connection clubs are absent in Generation VI and are replaced with the Player Search System.

Fly, Charizard Glide, Sky Dash, and the Flying Taxi bring the player to the Pokémon Center in the town or city chosen, and Teleport brings the player to the Pokémon Center they last visited (or to the Pokémon Center of the city or town they are currently in). Also, if defeated in battle, the player will appear at the Pokémon Center most recently visited (unless the player has not visited a Pokémon Center, in which case the player will appear outside his or her home).

In the core series games
Pokémon Centers are important buildings in the games and are found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on routes. Pokémon Centers are essential to Trainers as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. Non-player character Trainers and their own Pokémon are often found hanging around in Pokémon Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Pokémon Centers has varied slightly throughout each generation, all Pokémon Centers have the same core functions:

A Pokémon Center Nurse heals all party Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all status conditions and recharges HP and PP of all party Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
Trainers also have access to a PC so that they can change out their party. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with the ability to store and withdraw items and display their Hall of Fame details.
Until Generation V, Pokémon Centers also hosted the Cable Club or the Union Room, which facilitated multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only battle and trade with one another, but in later generations, players could mix recordsRSEDPPtHGSS and play gamesPtHGSS together.

In the Generation I, II and III games, saving inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Colosseum.

Prior to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Centers had slogans: in Generation, I, II, Kanto-based Generation III, and Sinnoh-based Generation IV games, it is "Heal Your Pokémon!"; in the Hoenn-based Generation III games, it is "Rejuvenate your tired partners!"

The Pokémon Center theme has remained essentially the same throughout the generations. It is notably different at nighttime in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. A rearrangement has also been used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.


A Pokémon Center in the Generation I games
Generation I
In the Generation I games, a Pokémon Center consists of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a Pokémon Center Nurse that will heal the player's Pokémon. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the PC to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. The Generation I games also include two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town: the Pokémon Centers in Route 4, outside Mt. Moon, and in Route 10, outside the entrance to the Rock Tunnel. Future generations employ rest houses that only offer healing services in similar areas.

In Pokémon Yellow, a Chansey stands beside the nurse in every center. This is a reference to Nurse Joy in the anime.


Cable Club
The Cable Club (Japanese: つうしん ケーブル　クラブ Communication Cable Club) is the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in Generation I Kanto. Players can link together to simply battle each other one-on-one and trade Pokémon with each other. Two players linked by a Game Boy Game Link Cable can enter the Cable Club. Pokémon Yellow features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.
Generation II

A regular Pokémon Center in the Generation II games
In the Generation II games, to accommodate greater linking functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both Kanto and Johto expanded to two floors. On the first floor, there is the counter where a Pokémon Center Nurse heals the player's Pokémon, as well as a PC. On the second floor resides the Cable Club and Time Capsule.

In the Japanese versions and Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, the sign of Johto's Pokémon Centers have a Poké Ball logo and the letters PC while Kanto's use the same sign as that of the Generation I games. In the localized versions, the Generation I sign was used for both regions.


The Cable Club is located on the second floor, which is always colored pink when Japanese and Western Gold and Silver are played on a Super Game Boy
Cable Club
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout Johto and Kanto, this Cable Club consists of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitates trading, the Cable Club Colosseum allows battling, and the Cable Club Time Capsule provides a way to trade Pokémon with the Generation I games. Because there were no female protagonists prior to Kris's introduction in Pokémon Crystal, a player who has chosen Kris is temporarily swapped into the male player sprite before linking with a Generation I game or with Pokémon Gold and Silver; this is still the case for two Pokémon Crystal games linked with each other, despite the sprite data for the female choice being present.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a Game Boy or Game Boy Color Game Link Cable.

PokéCom Center
Main article: Pokémon Communication Center
Exclusively in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, the Pokémon Communication Center, or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in Goldenrod City, and takes use of the Pokémon Mobile System GB. It is in essence a prototype for the Global Terminal, justifying the placement of one in the city in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Generation III
050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Colosseum and XD details.

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
Pokémon Centers in the Generation III games keep the two-floor setup, similar to the regular Pokémon Centers in the Generation II games. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In Orre, there are only three official Pokémon Centers, located in Phenac City, Agate Village, and Gateon Port, all of which have unique appearances. Only the Phenac City Pokémon Center has facilities for linking with the Generation III core series games. Self-service healing machines, identical to ones staffed by a nurse in a Pokémon Center, appear scattered throughout Orre, usually next to a PC.

In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, when trading with a core series game, the trade is conducted entirely through the Pokémon Colosseum interface. However, the core series game must be saved inside a Pokémon Center in order to be able to trade with the GameCube game.

2F
The second floor of the Pokémon Center includes various communication hubs.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Center 2F is the Pokémon Cable Club. It has three communication rooms: the Pokémon Cable Club Trade Center, Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum, and Pokémon Cable Club Record Corner.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Pokémon Center 2F has an attendant's desk and two communication desks: the Union Room and the Direct Corner. Teala, the attendant, explains the communication functions to the player. The Union Room is a wireless hub for multiple players that requires the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter to enter. The Direct Corner transitions between the Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner (if the Wireless Adapter was connected when launching the game) or the Pokémon Cable Club (if it was not); the Pokémon Cable Club uses the Game Link Cable while the Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner uses the Wireless Adapter. The Pokémon Cable Club Direct Corner has the same features as the Pokémon Cable Club in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but these are all accessed from the same desk.

Pokémon Cable Club
The Pokémon Cable Club is a set of communication features in all Generation III core series games that use a Game Link Cable. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the entire floor is the Pokémon Cable Club, with each feature having its own desk; in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, they are all accessed from the Direct Corner desk, as long as the Wireless Adapter is not connected.

In the Trade Center, the player can trade Pokémon with one other player. There are no restrictions on trading between languages.
In the Colosseum, the player can battle one other player in a Single or Double Battle, or join three other players for a Multi Battle. There are no restrictions on battling between languages. Link battle wins and losses are recorded on the Battle Results board on Pokémon Center 2F.
In the Record Corner, the player can mix records with up to three other players of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald. The player must have reached the Mauville City Pokémon Center in order to mix records. This feature is not available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Japanese Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire cannot mix records with non-Japanese games, and non-Japanese Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire cannot mix records with Japanese games; otherwise, there are no restrictions on mixing records between languages.
Pokémon Wireless Club
The Pokémon Wireless Club is a set of communication features in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald that use the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter. There are two desks that form this club: the Union Room and the Direct Corner.

Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner
The Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner is accessible at the Direct Corner if the Wireless Adapter was connected when the game was launched. It has four features in Pokémon Emerald and three in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. This club only allows communication among these three games.

In the Trade Center, the player can trade Pokémon with one other player. There are no restrictions on trading between languages.
In the Colosseum, the player can battle one other player in a Single or Double Battle, or join three other players for a Multi Battle. There are no restrictions on battling between languages. Link battle wins and losses are recorded on the Battle Results board on Pokémon Center 2F.
In the Record Corner, the player can mix records with up to three other players of Pokémon Emerald. The player must have reached the Mauville City Pokémon Center in order to mix records. This feature is not available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. There are no restrictions on mixing records between languages in the Wireless Club.
In Berry Crush, the player can play the Berry Crush minigame with another player. The Powder Jar is required to play this minigame.
When using the Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner, one player must choose "Become Leader", while the other players choose "Join Group" and join that leader's group.

Union Room
050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Language restrictions on the Union Room (if any).
The Union Room is accessible at the Union Room desk, but only if the Wireless Adapter was connected when the game launched. The Union Room is a special hub area in which nearby players who are also in the Union Room appear. Up to 40 players can appear in the room at once.

In the Union Room, players can chat using the easy chat system, view other Trainers' Trainer cards, battle with up to three level 30 or lower Pokémon, or trade via the trading board.
Generation IV

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
In the Generation IV games, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, which takes use of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Opposite the ground floor's escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same features from the Generation III games, supporting up to four players using the native wireless connection of the Nintendo DS, the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The ground floor, as always, is where a player can heal their Pokémon and use a PC. As of Pokémon Platinum, players can also challenge other Trainers inside specific Pokémon Centers also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in Olivine City.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokémon Center's design receives a major overhaul. The second floor became a mezzanine, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The PC was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The player's walking Pokémon will return to its Poké Ball while being healed. If the first Pokémon in the player's party fainted prior to healing, it will return to being the walking Pokémon as soon as it has been revived.

A healing machine similar to the ones found in the centers can be obtained from the Underground in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and placed in a Secret Base; however, it cannot heal Pokémon.

Wireless Club
Both Sinnoh and Generation IV Johto feature a wireless club just like Hoenn and Generation III Kanto, where players in a Union Room can battle, trade, mix records and, in Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, spin Eggs. However, the Pokémon Centers in these regions also have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, allowing players to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's Pal Pad. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the Nintendo DS, instead of using the easy chat system as in the Generation III games; however, the easy chat system is also supported.

Wi-Fi Plaza
Main article: Wi-Fi Plaza
The Wi-Fi Plaza is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and is located on the basement floor. Players from around the world can enter a plaza to make Poffins and play minigames together via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.
Generation V

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Black and White
In the Generation V games, the Poké Mart has been merged with the Pokémon Center. This is similar to how the Pokémon League lobbies of previous generations contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The PCs in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics.

As with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the second floor is a mezzanine above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the Generation IV games, including the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows players to access the Global Trade System (GTS), as well as all the features from the Global Terminal, such as the playback of recorded videos. The Global Battle Union (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to battle random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The Geonet can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the Generation IV games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the Pokémon League have a second floor.
Generation VI

Concept art depicting the internal layout of a Pokémon Center from Pokémon X and Y

The internal layout of a Pokémon Center from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
In Generation VI, the wireless and online features previously accessible in Pokémon Centers are now handled by the Player Search System. As a result, the Centers are much smaller, as there is no need for additional floors anymore.

In Pokémon X and Y, the Pokémon Centers now consist of the traditional counter to heal the player's Pokémon, and two small rooms to the sides. The room located on the right of the counter houses the Poké Mart again, which is accessed by talking to an attendant. In certain towns, a second attendant who sells TMs, special types of Poké Balls, or other items is also present. The room to the left of the counter is a dressing room that allows the player to change clothes and register their favorite outfits.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon Centers have a similar layout to the ground floor of the Pokémon Centers of the original versions. Also, the Pokémon Center in Lavaridge Town is connected to the town's hot springs.

If the player walks into a Pokémon Center on their birthday (as noted in the 3DS system), the nurse will wish them a happy birthday.
Generation VII

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Sun and Moon
In Generation VII, Pokémon Centers consist of one large room. The nurse's counter is in the center of the building. On the right is a Poké Mart counter, staffed by one or two attendants depending on the Pokémon Center. On the left is the Pokémon Center Café, where players can purchase one of three drinks. Once per day, after buying a drink, the player will receive Poké Beans for use in Pokémon Refresh and a status condition healing item from another region, such as Casteliacones and Old Gateaux.
Generation VIII

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Sword and Shield
In Generation VIII, Pokémon Centers consist of one large room. The nurse's counter is in the center toward the back of the Pokémon Center. The nurse will heal all of the Pokémon in the player's party and Boxes. On the right is a Poké Mart counter, staffed by one or two attendants depending on the Pokémon Center. The range of items available for purchase at Poké Marts expands as the player earns more Gym Badges. Behind the left counter is an Indeedee and an attendant who serves as the Move Deleter, Move Reminder, and Name Rater. There is also a Rotomi next to the nurse's counter.

In the Ruby Field of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, the same building serves as a Pokémon Mart and Pokémon Center. When this building serves as a Pokémon Center, it is used to evolve Pokémon. The "Pokémon Mart" sign turns around and becomes a "Pokémon Center" sign when a Pokémon is able to evolve.

Pokémon Trading Card Game series
In Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!, there is no Pokémon Center. However, the Clubs in the TCG Island and Forts in the GR Island have a room at the west side that is visually similar to the interior of Pokémon Centers, which include a PC and female attendants that offer multiplayer features: the Battle Center for dueling and the Gift Center for transferring cards and deck configurations.

The Pokémon Center card is available in both games.

A Pokémon Center in the anime
Pokémon Centers in the anime are headed by a Nurse Joy. The healing process takes place in real-time, unlike in the games, so Ash and his friends often have to wait until their Pokémon are fully healed. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be transferred from one to another, as seen in Pokémon Emergency!. Pokémon Centers are considered an important service, as shown in Celebi and Joy! where, in the past, the residents of Marion Town built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between activities. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, PCs, trade machines, and most offer free food and lodging. As a Pokémon journey can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can also be used as mailing destinations. In addition, a Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they are traveling to.

Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a Poké Ball room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. A lobby may also have a large widescreen TV or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as Sinnoh Now, Pokémon Contest broadcasts, and major competitions like the Pokémon League Conference and the Grand Festival of each region. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Pokémon Center was shown in Uncrushing Defeat! to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the Internet), as an information room. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large P somewhere and battlefields where Trainers can practice.


Battlefields on the outside of a Pokémon Center
As shown in The Ghost of Maiden's Peak, Pokémon Centers have a curfew for their residing Trainers. At 11:00 PM a metal screen is lowered down in front of the Pokémon Center's doorway, preventing Trainers from entering or leaving the Pokémon Center after curfew.

The resident Nurse Joy of the center is usually assisted by a certain type of Pokémon, usually one or various Chansey in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and the Orange Archipelago, Audino in Unova and the Decolore Islands, Wigglytuff in Kalos, and Blissey and Comfey in Alola. There are some exceptions in certain Pokémon Centers regardless of region however, for example the Nurse Joy of Johto's Ice Path was assisted by a Jynx.

Professor Oak has also written senryū about Pokémon Centers in two of his lectures:

For Dawn of a New Era!, the Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia segment featured the senryū "When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center." (Japanese: 「ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター」)
For Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!, the Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster segment featured the senryū "Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center, without a break." (Japanese: 「ジョーイさん　ポケモンセンター　やすみなし」)

SM004 Pokémon Center Rotom Pokédex The Pokémon Center is where you can heal your Pokémon and restore its strength and treat any status conditions.
In Pokémon Origins

A Pokémon Center in Pokémon Origins
In Pokémon Origins, Pokémon Centers are headed by an unnamed Nurse. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, which would often make Red wait until his Pokémon were fully healed before leaving. Pokémon Centers can also be used as social gathering places where Trainers can share information with other people. Additionally, Trainers have access to video phones and PCs within the Pokémon Center.

Trivia

The unused Pokémon Center signpost for the Safari Zone Rest Houses
In Capsule Monsters, Trainers restored their monsters' health by staying at inns and hotels, which provided healing devices in rooms.[1] This might explain the similarities between Pokémon Centers and the Celadon Hotel in the Generation I games.
The Rest Houses in the Eastern side of Center Area along with the ones in Area 2 and Area 3 of the Safari Zone in the Generation I games also have leftovers of Pokémon Center design: in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, the houses trigger hidden text in the same coordinates as the couch guy at Pokémon Centers, while inaccessible PCs are placed outside the boundaries of the map but in the same coordinates as PCs in Pokémon Centers (the PCs are also in the Western Pokémon Red and Blue; both texts and PCs, including the invisible Celadon Hotel PC, were completely removed in Japanese and Western Pokémon Yellow). Additionally, the tileset data of the Safari Zone maps includes tiles with the Pokémon Center signpost for use in the Rest Houses, without any text. Unlike Pokémon Centers, however, which store the player's current location in memory so that Teleport, Dig, or Escape Ropes return the player to the last location with a Pokémon Center available, the Safari Zone's Rest Houses are intentionally programmed to prevent this behavior so that the player does not cheat the Safari Game.
The Pokémon Center in Po Town is the only one in the core series where healing one's Pokémon is not free of charge, as the Team Skull Grunt behind the desk will charge the player PokémonDollar.png10.
