After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to Cinnabar Island, home of Blaine's Fire-type Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon Fossils. After Blaine's defeat, only the final Gym, that of Viridian City, remains.

The game developer, Satoshi Tajiri, pitched the concept of Pokémon to Nintendo's staff in 1990 [26] and was met with skepticism. They believed his ideas were too ambitious and found it difficult to see the appeal. However, Shigeru Miyamoto saw great potential in the idea and convinced the company to go ahead with the project.

To create more interest for the games, Tajiri revealed an extra Pokémon called Mew hidden within them, which he believed "created a lot of rumors and myths about the game" and "kept the interest alive". [29] The creature was originally added by Shigeki Morimoto as an internal prank and was not intended to be exposed to consumers. [55] It was not until later that Nintendo decided to distribute Mew through a Nintendo promotional event. However, in 2003 a glitch became widely known and could be exploited so anyone could obtain the elusive Pokémon. [56] Harris, Craig (March 17, 2003). "IGN: Pokemon Ruby Version Review". IGN.
