Crystal Saffron City
Saffron is Kanto's central hub, with a Magnet Train line that fires straight back to Goldenrod in minutes. Its gym answers to Sabrina, whose Psychic teams and teleport-tile maze make the Marsh Badge a real test.
Saffron City is in Kanto, with Route 5 to the north, Route 7 to the west, and the entrance to Silph Co.. In the story you arrive from Route 6 to the south and continue east to Route 8.
