Saffron City is a city situated in central Kanto.
As a quadripoint between the contiguous routes of Cerulean City (north), Lavender Town (east), Vermilion City (south), and Celadon City (west), it is the centrimost city of the Kanto region, serving as a frequently used pedestrial passway to and from other cities within the region.
The area is accessibilized by giving a Lemonade beverage to a guard in any of the four convergent gatehouses after you have procured the Soul Badge in Fuchsia Gym; thereafter, you will have access to all-four gatehouses to access the city. Until you are admissible to use the gatehouses, the underpasses on the contiguous routes must be used in order to bypass the city.
It is one of the most metropolitan cities in the Kanto region; in addition to Saffron Gym, several landmarks are tenanted in this city, including Saffron Dojo, Silph Co.'s headquarters, and the interregional-train station.

This station also subsumes the starting point of the Intraregional Subway quest.
Saffron Dojo
Saffron Dojo is an unofficial gym presided by Koichi, who is multimodally challengable both as a boss NPC and a linchpin for the dojo's mini-quest.
At the ultimacy of battling through the gauntlet of trainers in the gym, you can challenge Koichi's non-boss iteration; if you win, you can select a freely claimable Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee on the left and right tables, respectively. The Pokémon that you select will also bind to the tutorship access you have on Route 4; selecting Hitmonchan will unlock Mega Punch, whereas Hitmonlee homologizes to Mega Kick.
After defeating Koichi and choosing a pokemon, he will be replaced by the Boss Koichi version, making the original version non rechallengeable.

Silph Co. headquarters is the most prodigiously architected building in Saffron City, found centrically within the city.
After absconding their hideout in Celadon City Gaming Corner, Team Rocket commandeered Silph Co. as their new operational base, subjugating all employees within it. The player will be required to fend off all the Team Rocket agents and scientists before Saffron Gym is accessible, thereby stipulating the building's mini-quest as a prerequisite for progressing in the regional storyline.
Pinkan Island quest
- Main article: Pinkan Island (quest)
After speaking to both Officer Jenny and the lass in front of the Pokecenter in Vermilion City, the next person to speak to for the quest is the biker rolling back and forth in front of the southern gate. Talking to him, he will say that a duo almost ran over him, and were talking of stealing utilities. This references the Celadon Department Store, which is the next destination.
Sinnoh Quest (Symphonia)
Symphonia, found in the north-east of Saffron City, is the starting point of the quest to enter Sinnoh. After having completed the Hoenn region, she will ask the player to show her a Starmie. This Pokémon can be any level, but it must have been caught by the player.
Upon showing her the Starmie, she will challenge the player. Her team is estimated to be level 100, and as such, the player should prepare before the battle. If the player loses against Symphonia, she can immediately be rechallenged, although she will always ask for the Starmie and as such must always be part of the player's party.
After defeating her, she will say that there are 5 more trainers to fight in order. The next one will be Indragiri in Ilex Forest.
