Pokémon Crystal/Welcome to Cherrygrove City

Introduction

Cherrygrove City is a small city on the sea. It is the first city with major facilities.

Speak to the old man near the entrance of the city named "Guide gent" to receive a basic tour of the city. At the end of the tour he leads you to his house and gives you the Map Card. This expands the Poke gear to add a map.

Optionally pay a visit to any of the houses in the city to receive friendly advice.

Questions

  • Expansion cards were once common in laptops and PDAs. What technological changes since the 1990s have made such systems generally obsolete? Where are mobile expansion and software cards still used?
  • Cherrygrove City is often said to be based on Nagoya, Japan. Do these cities have similarities?
