oh my god! my account still exists in this kiddie pool? guess what! these mods you are all bowing down to? they're all kids themselves! I swear it's like a real adult working at burger world and bowing down to the acne faced dweeb that is doing his high school homework in his little office while yelling at you to clean out the grease trap! it's just a freaking game!!!! eventually you will all grow out of it!!! see you in the real world. I'm out!!!

Olivine City, hands down.
I grew up in a major Port City, and Olivine just seems like a place I could fit in.
Also, Jasmine was the first Gym leader whose challenge involved a bit more thought than the routine nature walking in, fighting the Gym Trainers, and beating the leader. Plus, she used one of the new types introduced in Generation II. Steelix scared the bajeebus out of me as a child.
I appreciate random VMs =))

I agree with Erin, Olivine City is my favorite tied with Ecruteak City. Jasmine's one of my favorite Gym Leaders and she's the favorite in Johto.

I also love Ecruteak because of Tin and Brass tower. (Bell Tower? Really? I love HG/SS just as much as the next person, but come on...) Even during the original games it had a really thick traditional atmosphere that embodied the 2nd generation as a whole.

Mahogany Town is my favorite because I always feel a sense of nearing the end when I reach this small, but awesome town. Adding to its atmosphere there is a big Team Rocket presence linking it the story very well, which also ties into the incredible Red Gyarados. Along side with Pryce fitting his gym perfectly, these are the reasons why Mahogany Town is my favorite place in Johto.

First would come Goldenrod City. I've always had a likeness to the center cities (i.e. Vermillion City, Goldenrod City, Mauville City, Hearthome City). I like the fact that you know you'll visit it upon many occasions and it's centered around various cities, buildings, and other small yet major aspects of the game. In Goldenrod, you already have so much from the GTS, Bill, the Day Care, to the Name Changer, Department Store, and so forth. I don't think it's the best looking city in Johto, but it is a favorable one.

Next would come Blackthorn City; the last city and one of the best in my opinion. It has the Ice Path in the North, then the Dragon's Den behind the gym. It's also one of the spots with the higher leveled Pokémon (although, a majority of them being Graveler, eh). I think this is one of the most calming cities in the game, and also one of the best designed, but still not the best looking- which is very contradictory, don't you think?

...Best looking for me would probably go to Ecruteak City, but it isn't my favorite because that would go to my earliest mention.

My favorite is Ecruteak due to its design its not far from the National Park where bug catching contest are held. It is fairly close to Mahogony and Olivine. Easily could go to Goldenrod for any of the reasons Hiiro listed and return to quiet old Ecruteak.

Olivine City: It has a nice oceanic feel to it. And the lighthouse adds a nice kick to the city. And it is the city that is close to Lugia.

Blackthorn City

The City is Awesome!
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t want to lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

Olivine takes my vote.

The sound of the waves, the lighthouse, not much people to make noise, the Battle Frontier very close, my favorite Gym Leader too...
-Leader of the Cumulonimbus
-Founder of the Iron Cast

Will I EVER get a pair?

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones.

Goldenrod City! Mostly because I love the Gym leader ( but not her Miltank) and I just like the feel to it. Especially the Goldenrod Radio Tower!

I had only two things on my mind:
Paul Newman and a ride home.

Goldenrod, because of everything available in the vicinity. It's an ideal base for shopping, breeding, and paying Whitney unannounced visits.

I'm tied between Goldenrod and Olivine. I think Goldenrod is beautiful, and I enjoy the big city. I also like the feeling of how modern it is, what with the underground thing and the Magnet Train. Plus the Wifi thing that was added looks amazing too.

Though on the other hand, Olivine feels festive to me. I think the decorations make it look nice, and more like a town that closely knit. Plus I think the beach goes in nicely with the new and updated graphics.

Goldenrod for me too. If I had to live in any Pokémon city, it'd be Goldenrod. You've got your department store, your game zone, the day care is just out of town and there's a nice relaxing park with bag catching and the pokéathalon for taking the edge off battling for a while.

..But, I'd probably just lurk in the underground path all day. c:
