Celadon department store
The Celadon department store is the largest Pokémart in Kanto. Because it is larger, it has a large variety of items that you normally wouldn't find anywhere else. These include various Technical Machines, temporary stat-boosting items (the X-stat series: X Accuracy, X Attack, X Defend, X Speed, X Special, Guard Spec. and Dire Hit), and stat-increasing vitamins. One can also buy a Poké Doll, which can be used to distract enemy Pokémon, and a selection of evolutionary stones.
There is a vending machine on the roof; it sells water, soda and lemonade. All three drinks function much like Potions. In Pokémon Red and Blue, the player must present a bottle of water to convince a guard to allow him/her into Saffron City. In addition, a girl on the roof will give the player Technical Machines in exchange for drinks.
Celadon Mansion
Celadon Mansion is a large apartment building in the north side of the city. Game Freak, one of the companies responsible for the game, chose to place themselves in the game here. After the player has completed their Pokédex (obtained all 150 Pokémon), Game Freak will give the player a diploma as a reward for finishing the game. In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, you can obtain an Eevee in the small apartment on the top floor.
Pokémon Gym
The leader of the Gym here is Erika. She trains grass type Pokémon. In the Pokémon Anime, she also sells perfume from her gym.
Celadon diner
A person at the diner, in the southeast corner of town, will give the player a Coin Case, which is necessary to play at the Celadon Game Corner.
Celadon Game Corner
The Celadon Game Corner is one of the major places in the first Pokémon games. Here, you can play certain casino games to win coins by using coins from the Coin Case obtained in the diner. You can then use the coins to buy various prizes, such as a TM or a rare Pokémon. This is the only place in the game you can get Porygon.
Below the Game Corner is the hideout for Team Rocket, which you can enter by pushing a switch underneath a poster. In the hideout, you have to defeat the members of Team Rocket and the head of the organization, Giovanni. This hideout does not exist in Gold/Silver.
Celadon Hotel (Red/Blue versions only)
In the Pokémon Red and Blue versions, there is a hotel in the southeastern corner of the city. There isn't really a purpose to it, but it is notable for having a glitchy invisible PC, as if the building were otherwise a Pokémon Center.
Demographics
In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the city had a total population of 66. This makes it the largest city in Kanto. Saffron and Celadon form the second most populated metropolitan area in the Pokémon World (the most populated is Lilycove City).
