Fuchsia City. I just like it; it has the Safari Zone :D

My vote goes to Celadon City, as it was the first really big city in Kanto that you come across in the game. They have the Department Store, the Game Corner, the Pokemon Mansion, as well as a gym and the usual city buildings. It was just so... impressive the first time I entered the city back when I first played Blue.

Saffron. I just like it.:)

The most memorable for me is Lavender Town.
It has the spooky music, Mr. Fuji, that tower filled with Ghosts, etc.
It's also my favorite town, along with Pallet.

But for some reason, when I think Kanto, Pewter City pops into my head.
It's probably because of the countless hours spent trying to beat Brock when I was a wee lad with a Charmander.

I... find it hard to say which city I like best. Viridian City and Cerulean City is what pops into my head when I think of Kanto, but they aren't necessarily my favorite places to go.

For example:

Pewter City is a fun place to visit... it has the Museum area that I like(d) poking around.

Celadon has the big department store and Game Corner... Basically, it seems to have all the bright lights, big buildings, and stuff.

Lavendar (I think?) has the Memorial, which is sad, but gives the game that extra touch of realism to it that makes you rethink the world of Pokemon...

For me, it's Pallet Town, and Cinnabar island.
Pallet because that's where it all starts, and Cinnabar because it's an island with a fire pokemon gym~! ... It just stuck with me... ^w^"

-What city comes to mind when you think 'Kanto'?: Pallet Town; it's the starting town in Kanto.
-What city is visually stunning, significant to the PokeUniverse, or just your favorite?: Celadon City, because of its Game Corner and Department Store.

Saffron City, and Pallet Town, they remind of something.

 

[Joey's Rattata]

I voted Lavendar Town because it's the most memorable, what with all the creepypasta that I won't go into here.

Lavender Town...

Dont you guys remember the story of the little Cubone who lost his mother, deep....

 

[Rai]

For some reason when I think of Kanto, Cerulean and Celadon always pop up first in my head. However, my favorite town has always been Lavender Town

 

[predready]

Celadon! It has the big shopping centre and the game corner, had some fun times there...:P

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

Celadon city~! :D It's really big and it has the Shopping mall~! :D :D

The one that first pops to mind is Viridian City. It's the first step into the world, it has a simple design that you can remember, and you have to pass through it multiple times (get Oak's parcel, pass through, return at the end). It frames the player's journey around the region, and has several memorable moments - drunk man and his Pokémon capturing tutorial (as I recall, he's the only one to fail to capture one, a Rattata in Yellow), the gym leader being Giovanni (that was a surprise once, you know), first fetch quest, first rival battle outside the Professor's lab (optional, and surprising for those like me who missed it in early playthroughs), last rival battle outside the League. There's also the introduction to the Poké Centre and Mart, possibly gyms (you may not count that one, though), and split paths.

Most visually interesting city, though is Cerulean City. Fences, ledges and trees that all actually do something (i.e. block your path), some water and a mysterious cave off to the side, nearby a strange man who looks after your Pokémon for you, also nearby some loner who claims to have invented the storage system, and you have to traipse through someone's ransacked house just to get out of there. It's also a return to civilisation after the long haul through Mt Moon, and there's much more civilisation there than there is in Pewter City. The city itself is arranged haphazardly, with houses not just "around the edges", and they actually look like the town grew rather than was planned. You can't just simply walk straight through this city like you can... all the others, come to think of it - you at least need an HM or to go through someone's house to get past.

I like most of the Kanto cities, with Celadon being my favortie. But when I think about Kanto I think about Indigo Plateau for whatever reason.

 

[Akula]

I always think of Saffron. So many times I played Fire Red and beat Giovanni in the top of Silph Co.
I always thought it was one of the best cities in the game.

 

[Ghostie]

Lavender Town; there's no contest for me. Because Yellow was the first game I played, it had the music that stood out the most. It had that creepy graveyard, those channelers asking for your soul because they were posessed, and it was full of the only ghosts in the game at the time--Gastly and Haunter. (Not Gengar of course)

It's also where I got the Poke Flute, and I was really happy I could finally wake up Snorlax.
