HeartGold & SoulSilver Saffron City
Kanto's central crossroads gathers Sabrina's psychic gym and the Magnet Train pulling in from Goldenrod. The Silph Co. tower still looms over it, quiet now that Rocket is long gone.
Saffron City is in Kanto, with Route 5 to the north, Route 7 to the west, and the entrances to Saffron Gym and Silph Co.. In the story you arrive from Route 6 to the south and continue east to Route 8.
