"It should be noted that" you don't need to say that, and thus Word Cruft.


Despite its status as Kanto's second largest city and its role as a major economic hub along with its sister city Saffron, Celadon City is relatively young as a settlement, with its formal founding dating back less than 400 years (though it should be noted that the Greater Celadon area has evidently supported human settlement well before Celadon's founding). Since its inception, Celadon has gradually expanded outward, with some of the most dramatic expansion occurring within the last 50 years, and has since formed a megalopolis with Saffron City via a contiguous bloc along the seaside. As of present a region of unurbanized land surrounding Route 7 presently separates the northern regions of Celadon and Saffron from each other. Like a number of other cities within Kanto and some nearby regions, Celadon has historically been plagued by calamities that have required massive reconstruction, which has resulted in an absence of dedicated historical districts within the city.

Modern Celadon's economy is heavily service-oriented, with the northern sectors of the city thoroughly pervaded by retail and entertainment venues, which are one of Celadon's most prominent tourist attractions. Celadon also hosts a number of corporate offices, including among other things the headquarters of a number of media, retail, transport, IT, and food service firms. Despite this, it should be noted Celadon maintains a significant industrial presence, as the industrialized area in the south of Greater Celadon hosts a large number of heavy manufacturing and distribution sites for a range of industrial corporations.

An extremely prominent retail outlet that has been active for over eighty years, the six-story Celadon Department Store overlooks the north of a prominent plaza in west Celadon that serves as a prominent local retail hub and gathering site. Despite the presence of many competitors within Celadon, the Celadon Department Store maintains a truly enviable inventory of offered goods, and has developed a reputation of being the premier retailer for goods pertaining to specialty training equipment within Kanto. It should be noted that the plaza that the Celadon Department Store sits next to also hosts a number of competing retail outlets, many of which also merit a visit in their own right.

Although Celadon as a whole is (in)famous for its concentration of gaming establishments, the Celadon Game Corner in eastern Celadon has developed a truly unparalleled following due in part to its history and it the clientele that it caters to. The Celadon Game Corner, initially founded as the Rocket Game Corner, was at one point the front for an extensive Team Rocket hideout, an element that makes it a minor point of interest to some visitors (it should be noted that the actual hideout has long been sealed, and attempts to enter the abandoned hideout will be met with a swift ejection from the premises). Since its inception, the Celadon Game Corner has overtly courted a clientele of active trainers, which is evident in its offerings of Pokémon and items such as [=TMs=] as prizes for its games. Due to a series of scandals involving the regular admission of underage clients to the Game Corner's slot machines, the establishment has recently begun experimenting with alternative forms of gaming along with slot machines, including the use of a minesweeper-esque game involving touch-sensitive tables.

A number of venues can also be found around major transport facilities in Celadon, three of the most prominent of which include two large local train terminals in west and east Celadon respectively, as well as a large bus terminal in west Celadon. It should be noted that the train terminal in west Celadon contains two prominent meeting locations, which provide a convenient point of reference for visitors. To the northeast of the terminal, there is a famous bronze statue of a Growlithe that has been lionized in Kanto's popular culture for its fealty to its trainer, to the southeast of the terminal, there is a statue of a Probopass that was presented as a gift to the residents of Celadon 30 years ago. Many of these locations are also major hubs for youth subcultures within Kanto, and present opportunities to immerse oneself in these subcultures.

Trainers seeking to challenge the local gym are strongly encouraged to maintain flexible schedules when doing so, as it suffers from a leader with both an erratic schedule, as well as a large volume of potential challengers. It should be noted that the teams employed by the Celadon Gym, while periodically rotated to be composed of stronger or weaker Pokémon as per assignment by the Indigo League, are typically well out of the league of a fresh challenger, and is generally a poor choice for an initial gym challenge.

Despite significant improvement following a crackdown by the municipal government following the exposure of Team Rocket's hideout beneath the Celadon Game Corner, it should be noted that a number of establishments within Celadon are known to still be influenced by powers in the local underworld, and visitors should exercise caution in choosing entertainment venues to visit. One particularly infamous district is a dense collection of venues in a series of side alleys within eastern Celadon.

It should be noted that some circles within Celadon possess a robust tradition of training Eevee, which may be of interest to visitors that are either training or seeking to train a member of the Eevee line. Trainers are known to periodically frequent the lobbies of apartment buildings near the Celadon Department Store, which are the site of periodic meetings of particularly prominent local Eevee breeders and trainers (One of the most frequented buildings also contains the offices of a developer of a prominent RPG series, which may be of interest to visitors with an interest in video games). Following an incident a few years ago involving an offhand remark by a prominent Kanto trainer regarding the origins of his Eevee that triggered a large influx of visitors to the buildings in this area searching for free Eevee, these meetings have become significantly more impromptu in nature, with organization tactics not wholly unlike that of those exhibited by flash mobs.

Barring a population of Grimer, Muk, and the occasional Koffing that reside around a polluted lake within Celadon along with small numbers of often sickly members of the Psyduck, Slowpoke, Magikarp, Poliwag, and Goldeen lines, there are no meaningful stable populations of wild Pokémon within Greater Celadon. It should be noted that the Celadon City Council recently approved a measure to clean the lake in question, and population distributions in this area may change dramatically in the future.
