The Saffron City stage.

Saffron City (Yamabuki City in Japan) is a stage in the game Super Smash Bros. The stage is set upon the Silph Co. building, and is home to Pikachu and Jigglypuff. The stage has the most amount of features of any stage in the game. On the right side, there are floating platforms. On the left side of the arena, there is a door leading down the stairs, but when one trys to go down, a random Pokémon will jump out and attack the player. Here are all of the Pokémon appearing in the stage:

	Name	Attack	Description
	Venusaur	Razor Leaf	Venusaur uses Razor Leaf to hit every character in front of it.
	Charmander	Flamethrower	Charmander breathes fire at other players and uses Flamethrower.
	Electrode	Explosion	Electrode flashes for a while and then uses Explosion to instantly knockout anyone in its blast radius.
	Chansey	Softboiled	Chansey uses Softboiled to dispense eggs; some eggs are explosive, while others can be used to heal the player who picked it up.
	Porygon	Tackle	Porygon suddenly charges out of the building and uses Tackle to cause high damage to players hit by it.

[edit] Trivia

• Saffron City is actually a city in the games Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue. The town houses the sixth Gym Leader, Sabrina, as well as the Silph Co. Building, where the stage is set.
• Silph Co.'s name on the building is spelled as "Silf" in the Japanese version.
  • Also, the banner on the left side is slightly altered between both versions. The Japanese banner has an example of English in which it reads "Got a Catch 'em All!".
• The city seems to be modeled from the Pokémon anime, as the games do not show so much details in any city (not even in cities considered "big", like Celadon or Goldenrod).
• There is also a mountain range very deep into the background, which seems to represent Mt. Moon, Cerulean Cave and Rock Tunnel altogether, which are way north of Saffron (and Cerulean City as well).
• Saffron City is the only stage in Super Smash Bros. that did not return in Super Smash Bros. Melee, or have a stage that was extremely similar in Melee; however, some compare it to Fourside, as both have the battle happen atop high buildings.
• Saffron City shares its name with a chef in Super Paper Mario.
