Where it is
The red marker is Vermilion City. A diagram, not a world map — distances are not to scale, but directions and connections match the game. The legend below the drawing explains each symbol.
- Route — number inside
- Sea route — Surf only
- City
- Pokémon League
- Interior — cave, forest, tower; placed next to its entrance
- Path between places
- Path that requires Surf
- Entrance to an interior — not a passage to the other side
Where you can go from here
Directions read from the map layout in the games — from how the screens connect to each other. We know them for Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh; in other regions you will not see this section, because we have no source for the topology.
