	Games - Lavender Town

Lavender Town (Shion Town (シオンタウン Shion Taun) in the original Japanese) is a fictional town in the eastern part of the Kanto region of the Pokémon universe mainly characterised by the Pokémon Tower.

In the Red and Blue versions, it is a tall tower filled with the graves of Pokémon that have died (even though the player's Pokémon never die). You can find Gastly and Haunter in the Red and Blue Versions and also Cubone in Yellow version. There are many Channellers that have been possessed and will fight you with their ghost Pokémon. On the fifth floor a Channeller lucky enough not to be possessed has sealed a section with white magic. Stepping in this section will heal your Pokémon. A Lv. 30 Marowak (which cannot be caught) spirit will challenge you on the sixth floor after you have retrieved the Silph Scope from the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. Five Rockets will challenge you on the seventh floor in the Red and Blue versions before you can rescue Mr. Fuji. In the Pokémon Yellow version Jessie and James will challenge you first. In the Gold and Silver and Crystal versions, the tower was replaced by a radio tower, and the Pokémon graves were moved.

Happier Music

The Radio Tower's influence in GSC has made the music much happier than when Pokémon Tower influenced Lavender Town.

Mr. Fuji and the PokéFlute

After rescuing Mr. Fuji from Pokémon Tower, he will return home to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, a somewhat small daycare for Pokémon. He will thank you for helping him and bestow upon you the PokéFlute. This item not only allows the awakening of the two Snorlaxes in Kanto, but it also revives your Pokémon from Sleep during battle.

The Name Rater

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a house south of the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House that belongs to a man who rates the nicknames of your Pokémon. This is the only place where you can choose to change the nickname of your Pokémon other than when you catch it. If you do not like the nickname you gave it, you are free to change it at anytime you are in town. However, you cannot change the nickname of a Pokémon received in a trade. The Name Rater claims that the nickname represents a bond between the Pokémon and its original trainer, and he will not interfere. The music that plays in here is happier than the music that plays in this town.
