Saffron City has one main platform attached to a small platform above a door. To the right is a narrow platform and to the left are two elevators (moving platforms). Between these and slightly lower than the other platforms is yet another narrow platform. There are many gaps in-between that characters and items can fall into. It is this feature, as well as the fact that it is a stage upon the tops of tall buildings, that makes it similar to the [[Fourside]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. | |||

Additionally, some Flying-type Pokémon, including {{s|bulbapedia|Butterfree}}, {{s|bulbapedia|Pidgey}}, and {{s|bulbapedia|Fearow}}, can occasionally be seen flying across the background. Rarely, [[Moltres]] makes its way across the background. Moltres is one of the easiest to spot of these Pokémon, as it is bright orange. | Additionally, some Flying-type Pokémon, including {{s|bulbapedia|Butterfree}}, {{s|bulbapedia|Pidgey}}, and {{s|bulbapedia|Fearow}}, can occasionally be seen flying across the background.

This stage is loosely based on Saffron City from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Green}}'' (later released as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Blue}}'' outside of Japan). Saffron City is the second largest city in the {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}} region, behind {{s|bulbapedia|Celadon City}}, and one of the largest cities in the entire [[bulbapedia:Pokémon world|''Pokémon'' universe]]. | This stage is loosely based on Saffron City from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Green}}'' (later released as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Blue}}'' outside of Japan).

The main building in Saffron City, {{s|bulbapedia|Silph Co.}}, is a major producer of items that benefit Pokémon trainers, such as {{s|bulbapedia|Potion}}s, {{s|bulbapedia|Repel}}s, {{s|bulbapedia|Technical Machine}}s, and various {{s|bulbapedia|Poké Ball}}s. In ''Pokémon Red and Blue'', [[Team Rocket]] orchestrates an invasion of Silph Co. to steal their top-secret project, the {{s|bulbapedia|Master Ball}}. Upon their defeat, the {{s|bulbapedia|Saffron Gym}} becomes accessible. This stage takes place on top of the roof of Silph Co.; however, its design is different than how it originally appears in the ''Pokémon'' games. The other buildings, including the ones in the background, do not bear resemblance to any building in ''Pokémon Red and Blue’s'' Saffron City. However, they do in fact resemble the taller skyscrapers that are shown to make up the city in the ''Pokémon'' anime | The main building in Saffron City, {{s|bulbapedia|Silph Co.}}, is a major producer of items that benefit Pokémon trainers, such as {{s|bulbapedia|Potion}}s, {{s|bulbapedia|Repel}}s, {{s|bulbapedia|Technical Machine}}s, and various {{s|bulbapedia|Poké Ball}}s.

This stage is commonly banned in both Japanese and American tournaments due to its overly large size promoting excessive [[camping]], and the random Pokémon hazards disrupting gameplay, though the latter is not an issue in ''Ultimate'' thanks to the ability to remove [[stage hazard]]s. Characters such as [[Ness]] or [[Lucas]] have more difficulty recovering here; it is near impossible to recover using [[PK Thunder]] between the buildings should they fall in. | This stage is commonly banned in both Japanese and American tournaments due to its overly large size promoting excessive [[camping]], and the random Pokémon hazards disrupting gameplay, though the latter is not an issue in ''Ultimate'' thanks to the ability to remove [[stage hazard]]s.
