Where in Kanto Are We? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pokémon Tower

The Pokémon Tower is the large building in the east end of Lavender Town. This building is haunted by ghost Pokémon such as Gastly and Haunter, which can't be defeated with physical attacks. Not only can ghost Pokémon be found here though; Cubone is also found in all three versions of the game. If we're playing "Pokémon Yellow", we can also find Jessie and James on the seventh floor of the building.

After fighting some Channelers and members of Team Rocket, we need to fight a Marowak and save Mr. Fuji.

Answer: Cerulean City

Although the Bike Voucher is picked up in Vermilion City, we don't actually use it unless we're trading it for a million-dollar bike in Cerulean City. The bike is one of the better items in the game allowing us to move across Kanto much faster than we normally would. Cerulean City is also home to the second gym leader, Misty, who uses water Pokémon to her advantage. Cerulean City connects to Mt. Moon to the west, and the Power Plant to the east.

Answer: Seafoam Island

The only reason that we may want to even step foot onto Seafoam Island is to collect Articuno, a rare bird Pokémon. In order to get here, we can head east from Cinnabar Island or south-west from Fuchsia City. Once inside, we'll need to use the Surf and Strength techniques to make our way through the caverns of the island.

The trickiest part is organizing large boulders to stop the fast current of the waters within the island. This area has an abundance of water-type Pokémon as well as Zubats and Golbats.

Answer: Mount Moon

The Dome Fossil and the Helix Fossil are only found near the Cerulean City exit of Mt. Moon. Only one of these can be ours in the game, and to get it we need to fight a member of Team Rocket. To get the other one, we'll need to trade using the Link Cable or win one in "Pokémon Stadium" (N64). Once we get one of these fossils, we can take it to the Cinnabar Island lab (much like the Old Amber from Pewter City) and have it resurrected into a Pokémon.

The Dome Fossil will become Kabuto and the Helix Fossil can be an Omanyte.

Answer: Vermilion City

The starting Pokémon of the three games are Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in "Pokémon Red and Blue" and Pikachu in "Pokémon Yellow". Despite this, though, it's still possible to find these Pokémon in different games. Pikachu can be found in the wild in Viridian Forest and the Power Plant in "Pokémon Red and Blue", while Bulbasaur can be found in Cerulean City, Charmander on Route 24, and Squirtle in Vermilion City in "Pokémon Yellow". Eevee, our rival's starting Pokémon, can be found in Celadon City in all three games.

Answer: Saffron City

Saffron City not only contains Sabrina's psychic Pokémon gym, but it also contains the fighting dojo. The fighting dojo doesn't involve badges, but it does involve Pokémon nonetheless. If we beat the karate master of this gym, we can take a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonchan. Both of these are extremely rare fighting Pokémon, which can't be found elsewhere.

Answer: Viridian Forest

Viridian Forest is a large area north of Viridian City and south of Pewter City. Not only is it one of the largest areas filled with Pokémon in the beginning of the game, but it also features our first trainers (Bug Catchers). Although many of these trainers only carry Weedles, Kakunas, Caterpies, and Metapods, we can use these to gain experience for the boss battle in Pewter City. Pikachu can be found in this area in "Pokémon Red and Blue", but he can only be given to us at the beginning of the game in "Pokémon Yellow".

In "Pokémon Yellow", we can also find Pidgeys and Pidgeottos in this area.

Answer: Victory Road

Victory Road is the final step on the way to the Elite Four. We need to use HMs and our strongest Pokémon to reach the end of the route and the well-known Indigo Plateau. Here, we can also find our way to the legendary Moltres, the fiery bird Pokémon. The area is full of ground-type and rock-type Pokémon at high levels, but at the end, you can heal and buy all the items you want.

Answer: Rock Tunnel

Rock Tunnel is located between Route 9 and Route 10. It contains many rock/ground/fighting-type Pokémon, so it might be best to bring some water, grass, or psychic-types along with us. We need to pass through the Rock Tunnel in order to reach Lavender Town, but to do that, we need to get HM05 (Flash) from Professor Oak's aide on Route 2. Once we get this, we need to permanently teach it to one of our Pokémon.

This is best done on an electric-type Pokémon, but it's also possible to teach it to a psychic Pokémon like Abra or Drowzee.

Answer: Viridian City

Team Rocket is Kanto's most famous crime syndicate, and they always seem to pop up in Kanto's cities. Team Rocket can be found in Mt. Moon, Celadon City, Pokémon Tower, Saffron City, and Silph Co. Viridian City only contains Giovanni, the head of the organization. At many of these locations, we can we can also find Jessie and James in "Pokémon Yellow".
