The entire city is accessible, though the northern exit is blocked by a guard and cannot be entered. The Radio Tower was destroyed in the earthquake before the events of Brown, as was the multi-storied Department Store. However, the basement still exists below ground.
The Goldenrod City Gym is one of the two Johto gyms that the player can challenge (along with Azalea Gym), and it is located in the north-west of the town. The leader is Whitney, who uses Normal-type Pokémon at levels 79-83. Winning will award the player the Magnet Pass and the Plain badge.
The Game Corner is located in the south-west of the city, to the left of the Pokémon Center. Here the player can play slots, Poker, Blackjack, Memory and Card Flip.
The Underground connects two small buildings within the city, one in the south-west below the Game Corner, and one in the north, right of the Gym. There is another area that requires solving a switch puzzle to get through, and access to the abandoned Department Store basement.
Trainers and items can be found in the underground.
Happiness Tutor[]
In the house in the south-east of the city, a woman will teach the player's Pokémon a special move if their Happiness is high enough. The move taught changes depending on the species of Pokémon, but the move is taught for free.
The southern part of the city is accessible in Rijon Adventures. However, the city has no events except for the Pokémon Network Center, and the Department Store (Silph Company).
