Start by turning on the game. You will see 2 sentences. "New Game" and "Options". Click on new game and an intro to welcome you to the world of Pokemon will begin. You will then be asked to "Set The Time". Select the hour (left picture), then "Confirm" it. Select the minute, then also "Confirm" it.

To begin the game, choose your name.

You are at home and the first thing you do is log onto your computer.

You go downstairs and your mother asks you what day it is. You bid her a fond farewell, tell her you'll take good card of yourself and you set off on your journey.

Your Pokemon adventure begins in your very own Wakaba Town.

And before you set off, these are what you should know about the game's menu system. "Back-Pack" - This is where your items will be stored for easy access.

"PokeGear" - Check on time or make calls (the screen below shows "call home")

"Your Data" - Check your ID number, your available money, logged time and gym leaders and badges.

"Report" - Your status and to save your game.

"Options" - To adjust message speed, etc. "Exit" - To exit menu system.
Beginning your Adventure
Choose your starting Pokemon from Professor Utsugii. There's Hinoarashi, Waninoko and Chicolita. Then when you're all set, confirm your choice. Prof. Utsugi will now explain to you that the machine in this lab is connected to the Pokemon Centre healing machine. You walk out and his assistant gives you a healing potion. What you must do now is go to Prof. Oak and bring back the egg
that was discovered to Prof. Utsugi for research.

You now have Pokemon on your menu system.

You also have Porfessor Oak's phone number in your memory dial.

The statistics of your Pokemon are categorised in 3 different pages.

You are now ready to explore the town. There will be random battles to encounter and you can either choose fight or capture or run. In the battle screen below, the top bar you have indicates your HP while the bottom bar
indicates your experience. Once the experience bar is full, your level increases.

To safeguard your Pokemon from fainting, you can equip it with "Mochimono", a potion. To do so, go to your Pokedex, select which Pokemon you'd like to have equipped and simply do so. Only then will your Pokemon automatically regain HP during a battle. Remember, you will still not be able to catch any Pokemon until you get your first 5 Pokeballs from Prof. Utsugi's assistant.


Exploring

There are many places to explore and things to do now.

Head left through "ROUTE 29" to "YOSHINO CITY OF WAKABA TOWN" and have your Pokemon healed. Should you talk to the old man standing near the
Pokemon Centre, he will give you a short tour and a "TOWN MAP".

Next, head north through "ROUTE 30" to "KIKYOU TOWN" where Prof. Oak is. The first PokeGym is also here. Prof. Oak gives you the egg and a Pokedex and then he leaves for Kogane City's radio tower. You stay the night,
heal your Pokemon and go on your way. As you step out of Prof. Oak's lab, your phone rings. It's Prof. Utsugi asking you to hurry back because something terrible has happened.
Back at the Lab

You give Prof. Utsugi the egg that Prof. Oak has handed to you. As you head on out, Prof. Utsugi's assistant gives you some instructions and hands over 5 Pokeballs which you keep in your backpack.

With Prof. Utsugi's assistant's instructions, you go in search for the girl you just fought on your way back here. Apparently, she has stolen a Pokemon from the Utsugi Research Lab.
Traveling
As you move west, you will meet a boy who will teach you how to catch Pokemon.

Now that you know how to do so, when you meet a Pokemon that you want, you can get your Pokeball from your backpack and use it for capture. There is an new feature in Pokemon Gold and Silver which wasn't present in the other Pokemon games. Notice the Pokeball icon next to the Pokemon's name (in the picture on the right)? This indicates that you have already got this Pokemon in your Pokedex.

Now head north and gain more experience points and money by battling the many Pokemon Trainers along the way.

You'll even exchange telephone numbers with a boy called Gorou, a Rattata fan.

Your next stop, "KURAYAMI-MOUNTAIN CAVE" on "ROUTE 31". You can't go through it yet as it's pitch dark. So wait till you get HM 5 (Flash).


Next go to "KIKYOU GYM" where you will meet "HAYATO" who only has Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Beat Hayato and get a "WING BADGE".


To the left of the gym is a Poke Shop. Replenish your PokeBalls and get more potions and antidotes for your journey.

At this point in the game, your main character should have evolved.
Hinoarashi (Fire) evolves at Level 14.
Kikyou City


Out of the Gym, after you've revitalised your Pokemon and bought some potion and antidote replenishments, head to the PokeCenter and speak to the guy standing at the counter. He'll present you with an egg. This is a
mystery egg which will be yours to keep and hatch.

Next, go left to "KONTA HOUSE", there, a little boy will trade you Onix.

Tower Of Bellsprout

The Tower of Bellsprout is your next destination.

Fight your way to the top and you'll get "HM05" Flash.
Back In Wakaba Town


Now go back to "WAKABA'S CAVE". Equip your Pokemon with your newly acquired "HM05" Flash. 
Then, access your Pokedex. Select the Pokemon with which you have equipped with Flash. Use Flash and
the cave will light up.
Togepi

By around this time, the egg you have been carrying will hatch and there you have him, Togepi.


Go Fishing


Now travel along "ROUTE 32" and enter the Pokemon Center. In there is a fisherman. Talk to him and he'll give you a fishing rod. Take it. It'll be in your backpack. Equip yourself with it.

Do some fishing.


Tsunagari no Doukutsu (Cave of Relention)

This cave takes you out to "ROUTE 33". Towards the end of the cave, don't
forget to take the ladder down and get "WAZA 39" and "DEFFENDER".
Hiwada Town


"ROUTE 33" leads to "HIWADA TOWN" - Home of Gantetsu the maker of various types of Pokeballs. Visit him and he'll ask you to save the town's Slowpokes which are being held captive by Team Rocket.

"YADON no IDO" (Slowpoke's Well) entrance is now open for you to battle it out with Team Rocket.

You win! Gantetsu congratulates you, meets you back home and presents you with a Lure Ball. "YADON no IDO" which is now Slowpoke's Well was previously the den of Team Rocket 3 years ago.
Gym 2


The Gym Leader here is TSUKUSHI and your PokeOpponents - Kakuna, Metapod and Scyther.

Beat Tsukushi of the Bug Gym and you'll get HM 49 which is REZENZOKUGERI - a slash attack, the ability to use CUT and the ability to control Pokemon up to level 30.

You now also have the INSECT BADGE.


Your Rival Again

As you proceed west after replenishing your health and potions, you'll meet with you rival again. Beat her and proceed left for a FarFetche'd.


Get Cut


FarFetche'd will be in "UBAME no MOR" (UBAME'S FOREST). You'll meet it, it'll fly away again and again until it is cornered.

Once you've got him cornered, a police officer will give you HM 01 - CUT. Equip it, and use it to cut your way out of the forest. Then head north.

Explore the forest for WAZA 02, the go north-west and get WAZA12 at the house.
