Goldenrod City

is a city in the Johto region. It is the largest city in the Johto region and the location of the third Gym. It is the fifth largest city in the Pokémon world, after Unova's Nimbasa City and Castelia City, Kalos' Lumiose City and Galar's Wyndon. It is the location where Bill's family lives. Despite its size, it lacks any extraordinary importance other than containing the third Gym Leader Whitney and, in Generation IV, being home to the Global Terminal. Later in the storyline, the city's Radio Tower is taken over by Team Rocket.
It is a major metropolitan city in western johto. It has National park and Pokéathlon Dome in the north while the Pokémon Day care is located in the south of it. 
Goldenrod City also hosts a Bike Shop where the player can get a free Bicycle, the Goldenrod Department Store (which is the largest store within Johto), the Name Rater's house, and the Magnet Train, which connects Johto and Kanto, starting in Goldenrod and ending in Saffron City.

== Trivia ==
* Goldenrod City is based on Osaka, the largest city in the Kansai region, Johto's inspiration.
* The bike theme in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver is, fittingly, since the bike is obtained here, a rearrangement of Goldenrod City's theme.
* Goldenrod City's name comes from both the plant and color of the same name. Its Japanese name, Kogane City, comes from 黄金色 (koganeiro, Japanese for "golden color").
