Vermilion City
Description Of Vermilion City:
Vermilion City is another great city with a number of things to do immediately after you arrive. You can obtain the Old Rod, receive the Bike Voucher, and catch a number of Pokemon. To much dismase, however, the Gym is blocked by a cuttable tree and you still don't have the move Cut. Since there is much left to do after these few things, you have no choice but heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center and head down to the Vermilion Harbor towards the SS Anne.
There is also a trainer willing to Trade you their Farfetch'd in return for a Spearow. And since this is the only way to obtain this Pokemon in-game, it's really necessary to do this trade at some point.
