To the south is Route 1, which leads to Pallet Town. To the west is Route 22, leading to the Indigo Plateau and the Pokémon League.

PEOPLE -
People here are friendly, but are wary of newcomers due to the town's former relations with Team Rocket. While that has long since passed, they try to remember that not everyone is always what they might seem.
RESOURCES/EVENTS -
Viridian City Gym - Viridian City gym is absent and looking for a suitable leader to take its place.
Pokemon Academy - A Pokémon academy is a school where students and trainers can learn more about Pokémon. Most beginning trainers visit at least one of them, and common trainers who study extensively at these locations are Lasses, School Kids, and Scientists. This building, located in the center of Viridian, is dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced trainers. Many trainers that pass through Viridian fall under this category, making the city an ideal location.
Pokemon Center / PokéMart - Just as with most major cities, Viridian City is home to a Pokémon Center and a PokéMart.
MYTH/LORE - Viridian City does not have any major myths or beliefs, but it is rumored that the Leader of Team Rocket used to be the city's gym leader.
