Pokemon Encounters
The Game Corner's prize counter is the real catch in Celadon. Coins buy a Dratini, Porygon, or Abra, with Red stocking Scyther at the window and Blue stocking Pinsir. A free Eevee waits separately up in the Celadon Mansion, and the rods below only manage Goldeen and Poliwag.

Celadon City Guide
Not by walking. City streets never spawn an encounter. Where a town touches water, though, Surfing or fishing turns up Pokemon, like off the Vermilion docks or along the Cinnabar shore. The list on this page shows what each city's water holds.
No. These games have no rematch system at all, so once you beat a Leader or a trainer that fight is finished for good. There's no farming the same opponents for cash or experience. Wild Pokemon and the Elite Four, which you can re-challenge, are your only repeatable battles.
