Location from pokemon-johto by
Johto's largest city — a commercial hub of department stores, radio towers, a Magnet Train terminus, and Whitney's Miltank. Where Team Rocket attempts the boldest crime of the saga.
Goldenrod is Johto's capital of commerce and noise. The Department Store is six stories and sells every Pokémon item anyone has ever needed. The Radio Tower broadcasts everything from Pokémon music to Professor Oak's haiku. The Magnet Train runs from here to Saffron City in Kanto, the only fast transit link between the regions. In the Johto saga, Cassidy and Butch take over the Radio Tower for Team Rocket and attempt to broadcast a subliminal signal to command every Pokémon in Johto. Lance stops them.
A wide flat city of white-tile glass skyscrapers and cross-cutting broad boulevards. The central Goldenrod Radio Tower rises above everything, topped by a red-and-white antenna and, lower, the Johto-famous blue-lit Department Store. A Magnet Train terminal to the west. Crowds day and night. Chocolate-milk vending machines outside Whitney's gym.
