Saffron City

✅

Saffron City is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 that hails from the Pokémon series. It was shown on one of the Content Creator Program's videos.

Layout
Exactly like in Super Smash Bros., 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 character and items can fall into, similarily to Fourside.

Origin
In Pokémon Red and Blue, Saffron City is the largest city in the Kanto region, and one of the most pivotal to the game. It is initially blocked off from all sides until a certain amount of progress is made. However, once allowed inside, it contains important locations such as the Silph Co. office building; the site of the main conflict against Team Rocket.

The specific designs of the buildings are a product of artistic license and, in fact, were rendered inconsistent with canon several years after its Super Smash Bros. appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Tournament Legality
Saffron City has historically been a banned stage in competitive play for similar reasons to Fourside, albeit not quite to as extreme of a degree. Even without its hazard, as was the case in its Project M appearance, the different elevations of the buildings make dodging and taking cover easy, and the narrow space between buildings makes recovery for some characters, most notoriously, impossible.

Trivia

 * Saffron City and Silph Co. are the only two separate stages that are in the same location as each other.
