Pallet Town
(1)
Your House (2) Rival's Home (3) Proffessor Oak's Lab Getting Started When your
adventure begins , You'll be asked to choose names for yourself
and your rival, Professor Oak's grandson. You may choose
default names from the computer's list or make up your own.
For this Walkthru, I'll refer to the rival as "Gary,"
one of his default names. Now explore Pallet town, being
sure to visit Gary's House for a peek at the map on the
wall. After you've talked to everyone, head north toward Route 1. Before
you get very far, professor Oak will appear and escort you to his
lab. Once there, he'll let you choose one of his Pokemon for your
very own!! Your First Pokemon Each Pokemon
has it's own strengths and weaknesses, and choosing which one to
take is really a matter of personal preferance. I will say,
however, that Bulbasuaur will fare the best against some of our
early rivals. Before you leave Proffesor Oak's Lab, Gary
will challenge you and your pokemon to your first Duel. If
you defeat Him, you'll win some money. If your pokemon faints,
take it to home to your mom for medical treatment.
Route 1
With Your Pokemon in tow, take Route 1 north
to Viridian City. As you wander through the tall grass,
wild pokemon will challenge you. You won't be able to
capture them just yet, but that's all right. let your
pokemon fight a few battles to gain experience. If your
pokemon is injured or faints, you can take it home or to the
Pokemon center in Viridian City.

Viridian City
(1) Pokemon Center (2)
Viridian City Gym (3) Pokemon Mart
-Pokeball $200 - Antidote $100 - Paralyze Heal $200 - Burn Heal
$250 Special Delivery
The first time you visit the Pokemon Mart in Viridian
City, you won't actually be able to buy anything. The
Pokemon Mart clerk will give you a package to take to Professor
Oak. Deliver the package to recive a pokedex. The
pokedex is a portable computer that you can use to store your
data files on all your Pokemon you've seen or captured. Now
return to Viridain City and buy some Poke Balls. If you plan on
staying in the area between Pallet Town and Viridian City to
build experience, don't bother buying any special medicines just
yet. Once you decide to head north to Pewter City, buy at
least a couple of Antidotes (which will cure any poison) for the
road. Welcome to the
Pokemon Center If you ever need help, the Pokemon
Center will be the place to go. There are branch offices in
most cities, and they'll provide your Pokemon with free medical
treatment. You'll also be able to use their computers to
access your PC at home, Professor Oak's PC and Someone's PC. You
can use these PC's to store extra items and pokemon and to recive
and evaluation on your progress from professor Oak. You can
carry only six Pokemon at a time.
Route 2
Now it's time
to start collecting Pokémon. Pidgey and Rattata are more
plentiful along Route 1, so head back there to collect them
first, then go north to Viridian Forest. Remember that you must
weaken a pokémon first brfore using a poké ball to capture it.
If your target is too storng, it will break free. On the other
hand, if you drain all your targets's energy, it will faint,and
you won't be able to collect it. Keep in mind that you can't
capture anothers triner's pokémon. You'll run across several
trianers in Viridian forest, so build up at least a couple of
your pokémon before you challenge them. There's only one main
route though the forest, so you shouldn't have very much trouble
finding your way out. The exit is in the upper left corner of the
area.

Pewter City
With its own Pokémon
Center, Gym, Pokémon and busting with activity. This is also where you and your Pokémon will face
your first major test of skill, battling
it out with Brock, the leader of the local gym.
Hit the Big Time You've
come a long way from Pallet Town, so relax and enjoy the sights
here in the big city. If you don't know your way around, just
ask, and the local will be happy to direct you to the Museum or
the Gym. The exhibits on fossils and the space program are
interesting, but you probably won't be able to make sense of the
cules you'll pick up until later. Just keep in mind what you see
and hear once you move on to Mt. Moon Pewter City Gym Most of the
trainers you find in Gyms will field two, three or even
more Pokémon in battle. Before you
face Brock, you must fight your way past one of his fellow
trainers. The JR Trainer has both
Diglet and Sandshrew at his command. {1}Museum

| Charmander's Fire-based Powers will not make a dent in brock's Rock-Type Pokémon. If you don't have Squirtle or Bulbasaur, Pikachu will be your best bet. Build Pikachu up to at least level 16 befroe you face Brock. | Defeat Brock's pokémon to receive his official Pokémon League badge as a reward. The boulderbadge will give all your pokémon a small boost in power. It will also combine with a hidden machine you'll find later and allow you to teach your pokémon the Flash ability. |
By defeating Brock, you've proven yourself a true Pokemon trainer. Other trainers now see you and your Pokemon as worthy opponents, and there are no fewer than eight trainers lying in wait along Route 3. None of their Pokemon are as tough as Brock's, but you still have a challenge ahead. By the time you reach the Pokemon Center at the base of Mt. Moon, your Pokemon will probably need some medical attention. If you want to look for Spearow or Jiggleypuff, stock up on Poke Balls before hitting the road. Inside the Pokecenter you will be offered to buy a Magikarp, a very weak Pokemon for 500. I suggest you don't buy it.

Mt. Moon
Mt. Moon is crawling with all sorts of new Pokemon as well as several menacing members of Team Rocket. Team Rocket is after Pokemon fossils, no doubt as part of some diabolical scheme. It's up to you to stop them from raiding these lost archaeological treasures!
After defeating Team Rocket you can chose one of two fossils. You can choose the Helix
Fossil or the Dome Fossil. The Helix Fossil will become Omanyte
and the Dome Fossil will become Kabuto when you take them to the
Pokemon Laboratory on Cinnabar Island.
After the ordeal in Mt. Moon, Route 4 will probably seem like a walk in the park. There are no trainers to challenge you and only one area where you may run into wild Pokemon. Just be sure to collect the TM 04 before you move on. You must jump over a hedge to reach the final path to Cerulean City, and once you clear that barrier, you'll be trapped in Cerulean City until you defeat Misty, the leader of the local Gym.

Cerulean City
In this city you can trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx. You can
also get the Bike here once the president of the Pokémon Fan
Club in Vermilion City has given you the Bike Voucher. Beat the
Gym here and head North to Bill's house. Here you will get the
S.S. Anne Ticket. On the road South from Cerulean City, there is
a house. This is the Pokémon Daycare Center. The man there will
care for one of your Pokémon and raise its level while you are
gone. At the end of the road, there is a big building which is a
gate house for Saffron City. At this point, the guard will not
let you through. You must get some Fresh Water from the Poké
Mart in Celadon City. The smaller building is the entrance of
underground passage to Vermilion City.

S.S. Anne
You can get on the boat with the S.S. Ticket you got from Bill.
On this boat, there are many trainers and some useful items. The
most important item of them all is HM 01, which the captain will
give to you when you help him through his seasickness. You should
get HM 01 after you have done everything else, because the boat
will take off when you get the HM 01 and exit the boat.
Vermilion
City (revisited)
Go east and you will find a building on the right side of the
road. One of Prof. Oak's aides is on the 2nd floor. He will give
you the Itemfinder if you currently have more than 30 Pokémon.
Diglett's
Cave
It leads to the road near Pewter City. Be sure to pick up a
Diglett before you leave.
Cerulean City
(revisited)
Go East and enter the Rock Tunnel.
Rock Tunnel
It is very dark inside of the cave, so you need a Pokemon
equipped with Flash (HM 05). Pick up an Onix and a Machop here.
Lavender Town
In the northeast section of the town there is a big building,
Pokémon Tower. In order to identify and fight the ghosts in the
tower, you need the Silph Scope, which you can get in basement of
the Game Corner in Celadon City after you defeat Giovanni. Come
back here when you have the Silph Scope.
Pokémon
Tower
After defeating all the Team Rocket members in the tower, you can
save Mr. Fuji from them. He will give you the Poké Flute at his
house. Go West from Lavender Town and you will find the
underground passage to Celadon City.
Celadon City
Celadon is the biggest city in the whole game of Pokémon. You
will need to come to this city many times. You can get an Eevee
by way of a back entrance to the Game Freak, Inc. building. Use a
stone from the Poké Mart to evolve him into a Jolteon, a
Flareon, or The Gym Leader, Erika, caters to Plant-type Pokémon.
Beat her and get a TM that contains the best Plant attack.

Celadon
Department Store
In this store you can buy many items, including Stones that will
evolve your Pokémon, TMs, ability enhancers, etc. You should
evolve all your Pokemon through the stones. On the roof level,
pick up two Fresh Waters, one Soda Pop, and one Lemonade. Give
one of each to the thirsty girl and she will give you 3 TMs.
Game Corner
You can play the slot machines here, but you need Coin Case and
coins to play a slot machine. Some of the people playing will
give you coins. You can also buy coins, 50 of them for 1000.
Also, walk around hitting A and you will find more coins. The
basement of the Game Corner is Team Rocket's hideout. Giovanni,
the boss of Team Rocket, has the Silph Scope. You will need it to
make your way through Pokémon Tower. You can get TMs and
Pokémon by trading in your coins at the Prize Exchange. Go West
from Celadon City. On this road, a Snorlax is sleeping, and you
must wake him up. If you have the Poké Flute, you can wake him
up and fight him. Before you get to the Snorlax, you will notice
a bush that leads to another road. Cut it down and go up and
left. Go through the building and into the house you find. The
girl inside will give you HM 02, which contains Fly.
Cycling Road
This leads to Fuschia City. This is a cycling road so you need
the Bike to go through. If you don't have the bike, go to
Vermilion City and get the Bike Voucher from the Pokemon Fan Club
president. The go back to Cerulean City and get a Bike.
Lavender Town
(revisited)
North on this road leads to Fuschia City. On this road another
Snorlax is sleeping, so use the Poké Flute to wake him up. At
the end of the road, there is a gate house for Fuschia City. Go
upstairs, and you will find another one of Prof. Oak's aides. He
will give you the Experience All if you have caught 50 or more
Pokémon.
Fuschia City
Head North to the Safari Zone. Also, the warden of Safari Zone
will reward you with the HM 04 if you give him the Gold Teeth.

"Secret House" where you will get HM 03 from a man
inside. HM 03 contains Surf.
Saffron City
You can get here from Hanada, Lavender, Celadon and Kuchiba. At
first, the gate guards will not let you through the gates. First
go to Celadon City Department Store, get something drink from a
vending machine on 6th floor (there are 3 kinds, any will do),
and go to the gate and give him the drink. There are 2 Gyms in
this city. One of them is Kakuto Dojo, where you can get
Sawamuraa, the kick devil, or Ebiwaraa, the punch devil. The
other is Natume's Gym, but first, there is a man in front of the
Gym. In order to enter the Gym, you need to go to Shirufu
Company, the biggest building in Yamabuki City, and defeat all
Rocket Gang members in it and you get Laplace. Also, after doing
so the girl in the house at left will trade you Waza Machines for
Pippi Dolls.

Silph Co.
There are many Items and Rocket Gang members in here. Adding to
it, you need to jump from point to point. You also need the Card
Key to open doors. After defeating Sakaki, talk to the sitting
man and he will give you Master Ball. It has a 100% chance of
catching. Only use it to get one of the 3 Legendary Birds:
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
Power Plant
Cross the water after you get out onto the other side of the Rock
Tunnel. There are lots of Electric Pokemon in here. Also here is
Zapdos, one of the Legendary Birds. To catch Zapdos, you must
have a Master Ball.
Seafoam
Island
Cross the water after you get to Fuschia City. Many Water Pokemon
reside here, and it's a good chance to add to your collection.
This is where Articuno, the Ice Bird is. To catch Articuno, you
must have a Master Ball.
Cinnabar
Island
South of Pallet Town is Cinnabar Island. Enter the Pokémon
Laboratory and get some new Pokémon. Depending on what fossil
you got in Mt. Moon, you can get Kabuto or Omanyte. You can also
get Aerodactyl if you picked up the Old Amber in Pewter City's
museum. Beat the Gym leader, Blaine, and head north back to
Viridian City.

Victory Road
To pass here you will need the moves from HM 03 and HM 04. This
is where you find Moltres, the Fire Bird.
Indigo Plateu
Here is a Poké Center and a Poké Mart in one. Go though the
door at the top to fight the Elite Four, a group of the most
powerful trainers ever. All their Pokémon are over lv. 50, so be
prepared. After facing the Elite Four, you will come up against
Gary. Beat him and you will be the best Pokémon trainer ever!
Cerulean Cave
After you have beaten the Pokémon League, go back to Cerulean
City. Northeast of Cerulean City in a cave is Mewtwo, the best
Pokémon. I believe he is at lv. 70. It is possible to catch
Mewtwo without the Master Ball, but it is hard. You only see him
once in the whole game! Make him faint and you're out of luck...
Tip: Save the game right in front of Mewtwo, so if you make him
faint or you mess up in any way, you can just reset the game and
try again.
