Vermillion being red fucks a lot of millennials up who grew up watching Pokemon.

Vermillion city not being a shade of yellow is the standout because it hosts the Electric Gym (yellow themed). Every other city's gym is related to the town color.

::: spoiler

  • Rock Gym is Pewter city (gray)
  • water gym is Cerulean city (blue)
  • grass gym is Celadon city (greenish)
  • poison gym is Fuschia city (pinkish is commonly poison for pokemon)
  • the FIGHTING gym is in Saffron city (orange ish is a Fighting type color in the tcg)
  • Fire gym is on Cinnabar Island (bright red)
  • Earth Badge is in Viridian (an earthy green)

Saffron City was built with the fighting gym in place. Sabrina's psychic gym has JUST replaced him when you get to town

Gotta respect the spoiler warning for a game/show that's almost 30 years old

If those spoiler tags were universal, I would use them all the time. That's one thing I really love about another small forum I use, is that if I worry that I'm ranting, I can just slap a <details> tag on there and anyone who doesn't want to read six paragraphs about why A Certain Magical Index is ass doesn't have to

Fun fact: apparently vermillion is actually made from cinnabar, so there's no reason why Vermillion City shouldn't have been located on Cinnabar Island.

Can confirm. Also, Veridian being a shade of green doesn't help.
