Cinnabar Mansion is an abandoned residence north of the Pokémon Lab. According to books found inside, scientists were conducting research on Mew before it got destroyed. Afterwards, it is home to many wild Pokémon and various trainers train here.

Glitches
Missingno.jpg
The east coast of Cinnabar Island is full of glitches that can be unleashed in the Pokémon red and blue versions. The Missingno. and 'M glitches is the most well-known, but there's also a Glitch City that can be accessed. In the red and blue versions Pokémon from the last place you visited seem to always be showing up on the coast.
If a player has their name as "??????", they may encounter a Team Rocket trainer while surfing on the Cinnabar coast (after saying "No" to the Old Man in Viridian City.) If a player runs into the trainer, he/she must battle, and the trainer will send out 6 glitch Pokemon, including Missingno. and 2 Nidorans that have an attack called "TM42", that when used will be much like Selfdestruct, except that the Nidoran itself never faints, which causes the game to automatically shut off. After defeating the trainer, the player may run into the same trainer he/she just beat by surfing up and down the coast.
