Walkthroughs of all Games Except Green!!


Red and Blue: (This will get better over time :0)

This the starting place of the game. Your mom will tell you that Prof. Oak wants you. Try to leave the town and Prof. Oak will come get you. He leads you to his lab, where you will be able to choose your first Pokemon. There are Bulbasaur, a plant-type Pokémon; Charmander, a fire-type Pokémon; and Squirtle, and water-type Pokémon. Your rival, Gary, will pick up another Pokémon which is stronger. When you try to leave, Gary will challenge you to a Pokémon duel. Beating it will give you a nice boost in experience(It will raise a level too), and $175, making your money total $3175 now. Your first pokemon will be level 5 to start with, so if you keep it strong, it will be a very good asset. Go back to your house. On the PC, you can withdraw a Potion from your hard drive. Your mom will, starting now, give free rests to you andyour Pokemon. Route 1 This leads north to Viridian city. You'll encounter Pidgeys and Ratattas. Defeat some for experience and try to raise at lease two levels for yourPokemon. A boy on the way explains that he is a Poke Mart worker at Viridian City, and he will give you a free Potion as a sample. What a nice guy. Viridian City Talk to the Shop clerk and then head back to Pallet Town with the Parcel. Give it to Prof. Oak and he will give you and Gary each a Pokédex, which is an electronic encyclopedia. He will tell you of his dream to complete the pokedex (by capturing/having captured all pokemon in the game) to you. Gary will act arrogant and walk off, but you can get a Town Map from his sister, contrary to what he said. Go back to the city. The gym's doors are locked, and they won't unlock for a very long time until you've beaten the other 7 trainers in the game. Buy some Poke Balls and talk to the old man to learn how to capture Pokemon. A boy will talk about caterpillar Pokemon. If you go west towards the Pokemon HQ, you will fight Gary. He captured another Pokemon. After you fight him, he will tell you you need Badges to go through. Around here, you can also pick up a few Nidorans. Route 2 Pick up a Pidgey and/or a Ratatta. You can get higher-level ones in the future, but if you train hard they will grow stronger better than the higher-leveled ones. You can also get Caterpies and Weedles. Viridian Forest On your way through Viridian Forest, you should pick up a Pikachu (!!), a Caterpie, and a Weedle. Don't get Kakunas and Metapods, since Caterpie and Weedle will evolve into one eventually. There are a few easy trainers in the forest, they are Bug-catchers and use bugs, so fire works very well on them. The first has a pair of caterpillars at Lv. 6 (Caterpie/Weedle). The second has 2 Lv. 7 Weedles and a Lv. 7 Kakuna. The final trainer has a Lv. 9 Weedle. There is a Poke Ball, Anidote (comes in handy from the Weedles), and a Potion in the forest. Makes nice additions to your arsenal. By the way, the Pikachu is a VERY good asset because its only weakness is against ground Pokemon, and it is my favorite Pokemon anyway :-) Pewter City (Boulderbadge) The Gym here starts out with a JR. Trainer with a Lv. 11 Diglett and Lv. 11 Sandshrew. You probably never met these two, but a good hint is that Diglett will be strong against your Pikachu, so use water on it. Water also works well on the Sandshrew. Plant does too. Brock, the Gym Leader has a Lv .12 Geodude and a Lv. 14 Onix, 2 Rock-type Pokémon. Water works very well on these. Be careful for the Onix's BIND (a multiple-hit move in which your pokemon is immobile during it) and BIDE, a move where it absorbs damage for some turns and returns it double. When it does BIDE, I suggest either beating it very quickly or do non-damaging attacks like TAIL WHIP or GROWL, so you are debilitating him without taking damage. If you defeat him, Brock will congraulate you and give you BIDE, TM 34. I suggest giving it to a pokemon with high hit points, and it is best used against pokemon with high defense and high offense, because the damage done doesn't care about the enemy's defense at all. You can look around the museum, but the $50 it costs is unreasonable, since you can't get anything there except looking at fossils of Aerodactyl and Kabutops, two extinct pokemon which you might get later. Route 3 This leads east from Pewter City to Mt.Moon. Get a Spearow if you want. But it is very crucial for a collector to pick up a Jigglypuff, since this is the only place you'll see it. There are also many trainers along the way for money and experience. I suggest you to train the Pikachu and your original Pokemon strongly. You will meet two new kinds of trainers: Youngster and Lass. The former likes pokemon such as Rattatas, the latter likes "cute" pokemon like Clefairies and Jigglypuffs. Mt. Moon Heal up at the Poke Center. A man will sell a Lv.5 Magikarp to you. It seems weak but will evolve into the powerful Gyarados at Lv.20. See if it is worth the $500 he wants. Don't worry if you don't get it, though, since you can get it later by fishing for it. Time to walk into the cave! You will meet two new kinds of trainers (again). Super Nerds who likes nerd stuff like Voltorbs or Magnemites, and Hikers with rock pokemon like Geodude. There are also many pokemons in the cave, Zubat (beaten by Pikachu easily) and Geodude (weak against water) are more common than Paras and Clefairies (who are indigenous to this place). After walking in, take a left and you'll get TM12, which contains WATER GUN. Going up will yield a Potion and a Bug-catcher. Now, you can go east futher into the cave with a few trainers loafing around. Going south at the fork will let you take a Potion, a Rare Candy (automatic Level Increase), and an Escape Rope (Lets you go to the last Poke Center). Under the first stairwell, there is a Rocket (gang members with a variety of good pokemon), along with a HP-UP that increases a pokemon's HEALTH permanently. Keep on going, past a Lass with a pair of Lv. 11 plant pokemon (Bellsprout/Oddish), and go into the second staircase. Another Rocket is here, guarding TM01 (MEGA PUNCH). You will also find an Ether hidden in a solitary rock. Going up, left, and finally to a staircase guarded by a Hiker. Above him is the first piece of the Moon Stone, so don't forget to get that. Enter the staircase anf fight 3 Rockets in a row and finally a Super Nerd with a Grimer, a Voltorb, and a Koffing. Here you can get 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. Route 4 Out already? After you cross the last ledge, you are stuck and can not go back. So take the TM04 on the way first. Cerulean City (Cascadebadge) The Gym here is owned by Misty, who has a Staryu and Starmie. Pikachu can make short work of both of them if you trained it well. (Lv. 20 or 21 recommanded) But watch out for Starmie's BUBBLEBEAM, a strong water attack that does a lot of damage and may reduce speed. Go ahead and beat her and get the BUBBLEBEAM TM. Go north and fight Gary again. He now has a Lv. 18 Pideotto, a Lv. 15 Abra, a Lv. 15 Rattata, and whatever he started with. On the way you will fight 5 trainers in a row for a prize, only to find out that it was a plan by TEAM ROCKET to recruit new members. You'll refuse the ROCKET's order and fight him, getting a Nugget (useless object, sell it for $5000) if you win. Go east here, through Route 25. You will get the S.S. Anne Ticket from Bill after a few more trainers. Getting back in, Bill will share information about Eevee and its evolutions. You can trade a Poliwhirl for Jynx here. The Jynx can only be gotten this way. Polywhirls evolve from Poliwags and will be very easy to get in the future. A guy will tell you the badge's uses. Behind his house is a hidden rarecandy. You can get Bellsprouts (BLUE) / Oddish (RED) and Abras here. (Route 24 and (Route 25) The Abra is unique to this city, so get one. Authough I usually get two because one could be traded away later for a Mr. Mime. Abra only has the TELEPORT move, but when it evolves at Lv.16 to a Kadabra, it will get more attacks. It is also a good "utility" pokemon because Teleport can run away from battles and return you to the last Poke Center. After that, go to the house previously blocked by a policeman. Fight the ROCKET and he will give you the TM 28. (an excellent TM because it is very powerful and is useful against electric pokemon as well.) Onward south, there is a Pokémon Daycare Center. The man there will care for one Pokémon and raise its level while you are gone for $100 * (1 + no. of levels it gains). 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. The smaller building is the entrance of underground passage to Vermilion City. You can trade a Nidoran (m) for a Nidoran (f) here. Route 11 Don't forget to get the exclusive Drowzee here. It is one of the first, and one of the best psychic pokemon. On the way, you can also get Meowth (BLUE). The only places to capture him are by Cerulean, Vermillion, Celadon, or Lavender. His PAY DAY attack will give you money in battle. And no, this is not necessarily the TEAM ROCKET Meowth... :-) Vermilion City (Thunderbadge) Here you can get the Bike Voucher by visiting the Pokémon Fan Club. It will let you get the bike in Cerulean City for free. (like you are ever going to get $1000000...) There is also an old man who will give you an Old Rod, which could fish for Magikarps only. A third thing is that a boy will trade a Far'Fetched for a Spearow. After that, go to S.S. Anne to the south. You can get on the boat with the S.S. Ticket. On the boat, there are many trainers and items. You'll find your first Great Ball here. Gary will be here (again) with a different appearence. After you beat him you can talk to the captain. He will give you HM 01 (cut) after you help him through his seasickness. Then boat will take off when you exit. The HM is very important. It will now let you do things you couldn't do before, like going back to Pallet Town, or getting Old Amber in the back door to Pewter City's museum. The Diglett's cave to the east has some high-level Digletts and Dugtrios. If you get them they will help you a lot for the boss. Now, teach HM 01 to a Plant-type Pokemon. The move is even good in battle sometimes! Go to the southwest of the city, CUT a bush, and go to the Gym. The leader there has a electric lock door. You have to find one switch, and another switch which is always BESIDE it. Defeat Lt. Surge, the gym leader, who has a Voltorb, a Pikachu(!!) and a Raichu(!!!). Digletts and Dugtrios can defeat them easily, as well as anyone you gave your DIG technique to. Talk to him afterwards to get TM 24, which contains THUNDERBOLT, a powerful version of THUNDERSHOCK. One of the Prof. Oaks' aids is also in a building to the east. He will give you the Itemfinder if you have more than 30 Pokemon. This item finds items... duh. But not too important really. By him is a guy who will trade a Nidorino for your Nidorina. After this, go into the Diglett's cave again. It will lead you near Pewter city and you can do things you couldn't do before. A person will trade a Mr. Mime for an Abra. So if you have a spare one, trade it. (This is the only way to get a Mr. Mime) You can also get HM 05 (flash) from one of Prof. Oak's aides if you caught more than 10 Pokemon. Then go back and up to Cerulean City. From there go east into the Rock Tunnel. Rock Tunnel It is very dark inside, you need a Pokemon equipped with HM 05. Pick up an Onix and a Machop here if you want. It is quite long and there are quite a few Pokemaniacs and Miners in there. Luckily, a Poke Center is right by the entrance to get you started up. Lavender Town In the northeast section of the town there is a big building, Pokemon Tower. But you can't do much there now. There is, however, a man who will "rate" and rename your Pokemon. You'll hear a lot of stories. Mainly about a Cubone who lost his mother, a kind Mr.Fuji's disappearence, and the ghosts in the Pokemon Tower. To the south are many fisherman eager for battle. Let them have their fun. This is a good chance to train electric and plant pokemons. That includes Pikachu (!!). Route 8 Near the city, the BLUE players will find Meowths, Sandshrews, and Vulpixs, while the RED ones will find Glowlithes, Ekans, and Mankeys. After some collecting, go west through the tunnel to Celadon City after you pick up a Vulpix. (BLUE) Celadon City (Rainbowbadge) Celadon is the biggest city in the whole game. You can get an Eevee from a back entrance to the Game Freak, Inc. building. You can buy stones from the Mart to evolve him -- and many others for this matter. You can use Thunder Stone to evolve Pikachu, Fire Stone to evolve Vulpix, Leaf stone to evolve Weepinbell, etc. The Gym leader Erika uses plant Pokemon. Fire is useful here (Vulpix, for that matter). After the battle, you will recieve a TM with MEGA DRAIN. Give it to your favorite plant Pokemon. This useful move does a lot of damage and gives half of it to your pokemon as health. Walk around for a bit. There are many interesting things in Celadon.. 1.Store ------- You can buy stones, items, TMs, and drinks. Give 3 kinds of drinks to the girl on the last floor, since she will give you a TM for each drink. Get an extra drink, you'll need it.The TMs they will sell: TM32 DOUBLE TEAM $1000 TM33 REFLECT $1000 TM02 RAZOR WIND $2000 TM07 HORN DRILL $2000 TM37 EGG BOMB $2000 TM01 MEGA PUNCH $3000 TM05 MEGA KICK $3000 TM09 TAKE DOWN $3000 TM37 SUBMISSION $3000 2.Game Corner ------------- Play the slot machines here, but you need Coin Case and coins to play. The Coin Case is in one of the other buildings. Some of the people playing will give you coins. You can also buy coins, 50 of them for 1000. Some coins are also hidden. You can trade coins for Pokemon/TMs next door. A list of pokemon that could be bought there: (First window) Abra - 180 (RED) / 120 (BLUE) Clefairy - 500 (RED) / 750 (BLUE) Nidorino (BLUE) - 1200 Nidorina (RED) - 1200 (Second window) Scyther (RED) - 5500 Pinser (BLUE) - 2500 Dratini - 2800 (RED) / 4600 (BLUE) Porygon - 9999 (RED) / 6500 (BLUE) Talk to the ROCKET by the picture to reveal a secret entrance - the ROCKET hideout. Go down and fight some ROCKETS. Giovanni, the boss, has the Silph Scope. Lavender Town After getting it, go back to Pokemon Tower and prepare for a long journey. Channelers are hanging around possessed by ghost pokemon. Fighting pokemon are useless here, because ghosts are immune to physical attacks. There are a lot of ghosts around, but they can be identified with the Silph Scope. Catch a Gastly (unique to this place) and a Cubone here. Soon, you will fight Cubone's mother, a Lv.30 Marowak. You can't capture her, but if you win, her soul will be freed. Beat the Rockets to rescue Mr. Fuji, who'll give you the Poke Flute. Now, go back to Celadon. Celadon City Go West from Celadon City. On this road, a Snorlax is sleeping, and you must wake him up. If you have the Poke Flute, you can wake him up and fight him. Cut down a nearby bush and go up and left. Go through the building and into the house you find. The girl inside will give you HM 02 (fly). Used in battle, it is similar to DIG. Used outside, it will bring you to a Poke center already visited. Cycling Road This leads to Fuschia City. This is a cycling road, so you will go down automatically. There are a few Riders and Cueballs on the way also. The former usually has nasty pokemon (Grimer, Koffing, etc.) and the latter with fighting pokemon. It is quite a nice ride, if your pokemon could survive the poison. When you see a gate house, a boy inside will trade a Lickitung for a Slowbro. Fuschia City (Marshbadge) You can see many trainers if you go to the shore, the meadow, or east of the town. If you go east, and up, you will see a road leading to Lavender Town. Another Snorlax is on this road, so if you couldn't get the first one this is your only chance left to catch it. Go north, and you'll see a hut where the person will give you the Super Rod. Even more north will let you see that the city is connected to Lavender Town. Then go back to thecity. Go north to the Safari Zone. You will get many items and unique Pokemon here. You can fish for Dratinis here, as opposed to the 4600 coins (BLUE) / 2800 (RED) you need to pay for it in Celadon City. Lets see, 4600 coins equal $ 92000, (unless you had a very good winning streak). 2800 coins is cheaper, or $56000. Either way, I rather pay the $500 for entering the Safari Zone, and I will still get more bang for the buck because I can capture other rare pokemon. If you find the secret house, you'll be rewarded HM 03 (surf). If you give the Gold Teeth (also found there) and give it to the warden, he will give you HM 04 (strength). Both of these are crucial to the game. When SURF is used in battle, it is a good water attack. STRENGTH is a very strong fighting attack. In the overworld, SURF can be used by water pokemon to travel on water while STRENGTH is used to move boulders. If you think you're ready after you pick up a few more pokemon. go challenge the boss Koga. His men are psychic Jugglers (who can call back pokemon at will) and animal Tamers (Robert Garcia rip-offs) and he has Pokemon with skills of sleeping, paralyzing, and poisoning. If you beat him you'll get TOXIC, a strong poison attack that will do more damage with each additional poison hit. Now is the time to go through the gate to Saffron City, which is between the other four cities on your Map. Remember, give a drink to one of the guards. Saffron City There are 2 Gyms in this city. In the gym on the left, you'll fight many BLACKBELTS. Since they have fighting Pokemon, your best bet is to use psychic Pokemon like Kadabra and Drowzee. Ghost pokemon also works well because they are immune to physical moves. After the final boss in the gym, you can get Hitmonlee, the kicker, or Hitmonchan, the puncher. The other gym is blocked by a ROCKET though. You need to go to SILPH Company, the biggest building in Yamabuki City, and defeat all Rocket Gang members in it. Silph Co. There are many Items and Rocket Gang members in here. You need to warp around quite often. If you get the Card Key, you can move more freely and get to the boss. After beating Gary (yes, he is here), a man will give you Lapras. At the 11th floor, fight Giovanni (again) and if you win, you will get the Master Ball. It has a 100% chance of catching. Now you have a choice at this point... either waste it on some arbitary Pokemon, or use it on crucial one-time Pokemon including: The Legendary Birds, Snorlax, and Mewtwo. The Birds are Lv.50 each and are very powerful in their own element, the Snorlax are Lv. 30 and are quite good, while Mewtwo is "THE" perfect pokemon and starts at Lv. 70. Back to the city. Now you can enter Sabrina's Gym and fight her for the Soulbadge. There are Psychics and Channelers here, and you also need to warp around often. Watch out for psychic Pokemon and use bug or ghost pokemon against them. She will give you PSYWAVE after the battle, a psychic attack. A girl living in a house to the left will trade TM31 for a Poke Doll. It contains MIMIC. Power Plant (optional) Cross the water by Cerulean City and SURF down and around to the Power Plant. There are lots of Electric Pokemon here. You can get Pikachus(!!), Raichus(!!!), Voltorbs, Magnemites, and Electrabuzzes (RED). (some Voltorbs are hidden as Poke Balls, they are Lv. 40 each! There is also an Lv.41 Electrode masquerating as a Poke Ball) Near the end is Zapdos, the Legendary Electric Bird. Seafoam Islands (optional) Cross the water after you get to Fuschia City. Many Water Pokemon live here, (Seels, Shellders, Krabbys, Psyducks, etc.) You'll need STRENGTH and SURF. This is where Articuno, the Legendary Ice Bird is. Krabby's are pretty good. About the level in which they become Kinglers, they will learn the powerful 1-hit KO GILLOTINE move! Cinnabar Island (Volcanobadge) 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. Three people there will trade your Raichu for an Electrode, your Venonat for a Tangela, or your Ponyta for a Seel. Non of these are too important, but they can rack up experience quickly. There is a Pokemon Mansion here with puzzles involving switches. Behind a pillar on the first level is the final piece of the Moon Stone. Read the text to find out about the mysterious Mewtwo Pokemon. Here you can get Grime, Muk, Koffing, Ponyta, Vulpix (BLUE) / Magmar (RED), etc. You will also get a key for the gym. The gym leader, a mad scientist named Blaine, uses fire Pokemon. Water works very well on them. If you win he will give you a very powerful fire attack (FIRE BLAST). Now you only have one more Gym left... Viridian City (Earthbadge) Here is the final Gym... (the Gym was locked before) The boss is non other than... Giovanni! He wants to use this place to get more ROCKET members and start anew! Are you going to let him? No! He has a variety of good Pokemon. After beating him, go west to the Pokémon League HQ. Gary will be on the road again, challenging you for the final(?) time. Pokemon League HQ Very large building. You can get Dittos, Rhyhorns, and some other good Pokemon here. You also need all 8 badges so the guards will let you pass. If you see a door, you have reached the... Victory Road To pass here you will need the moves SURF and STRENGTH, all the skills, and best Pokemon you have. There are TOUGH Pokemon here (Lv. 40 Marowaks, Lv. 40 Venoats, etc.) and very skilled trainers. This is where you will also find Moltres, the Legendary Fire Bird. There are a lot of puzzles, and by the end you will probably be VERY worn-out, but still wondering how come Gary was again one step ahead of you, as explained by the people in the cave. Indigo Plateau This is a Poké Center and a Poké Mart. Get all the things you need, pick your best 6 Pokemon, and 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 for some good fights. Personally, my best team against this (all well-trained, of course) are Articuno, Pikachu(!!), Blastoise, Hypno with HYPNOSIS/DREAM EATER combo, (or Mewtwo) and TWO back-up powerhouses for the last two slots. I like this form because: 1. Every pokemon in the bosses' inventory will have some weakness against at least one of these. The only one without some weakness is the Alakazam. According to most of the lists in the net, they are weak against ghosts and bugs. Well, ghosts seemed to actually be weak when facing physics, because their Night Shade doesn't do much while the PSYBEAM/PSYCHIC does super damage in return! And if I put in a bug, it won't be able to handle any other pokemon except the grass pokemon, and I don't want to "waste" any of the team members by only letting it fight twice. I thought about using a Venomat, but it will interfere with the other Psychic's Job. 2. These will either be well-trained, or will start out at high-levels. Who wouldn't want to train Pikachus and your beginning Pokemon? The bird and Mewtwo well already start at levels almost equivlent to the Elite Four's. 3. It is flexible, because there is actually 2 spaces for whatever you want (especially against psychic pokemon because non of the pokemon actually works SUPER against them). You can add in a ghost for defense if Bruno's fighters gets rough (they can't TOUCH you. I mean really), you can add in a fighter to pound some heavily-defended pokemon as hard as you can, add in a Dragon because of their general effective- ness (you will NEVER read "it is not that effective" for a dragon attack), or you can just add in another strong pokemon from an element in which you are weak (such as a back-up fire pokemon, or a ground pokemon). Or, the best of them all, a weak pokemon you want to train! Just put it at the front of the line, call it after every match, and switch to another pokemon. This way, it will gain experience for every battle you fight! My Far'fetched gained 25 levels this way in one trip through the ELITE FOUR! 4. Each pokemon is not wasted. Blastoise: Bruno(2), Lance(1), ???BOSS???(2) Pikachu: Lorelei(5), Agatha(1), ???BOSS???(1) (Told you Pikachu would come in handy. Pikachu handles 8 Pokemon by itself!) Articuno: Lance(4), ???BOSS???(1) Psy. Pkmn: Bruno(3), Agatha(4), ???BOSS??? (1) (8 Pokemon, and psychics are good against just about anything else.) Basically, two of them handle 5 each and the other two handle 8 each. If any of them gets tired (especially the ones who handle 8), you should switch to a backup pokemon with SUPER damage against their enemies. Now, the roster. The first, Lorelei has a group of ice Pokemon. (Pikachu can dish out SUPER damage, it can take on all five one-by-one) She starts with a Lv. 54 Dewgong, secondly a Lv. 53 Cloyester, then a Lv. 54 Slowbro. A Jynx (Lv. 56) follows the battle, and finishes off with a Lv. 56 Lapras. The second man (Bruno) has rock / fighting Pokemon. To be exact, he starts off with a Lv. 53 Onix. After that, he switches off to fighting and gets out a Lv. 55 Hitmonchan and then a Lv. 55 Hitmonlee. After the fighting duo, he gets a Lv. 56 Onix and finally his ace card, the Lv. 58 Machamp. Bring a water and a psychic/ghost pokemon for this. (I suggest A Blastoise for rocks and a Hypno/Mewtwo for the fighters) The third lady (Agatha) has mind-controllers at her control, kicking off with a Lv. 56 Gengar. Then, a Lv. 56 Golbat will try to CONFUSE you into submission. A lighter challenge (Lv. 55 Haunter) comes in afterwards. You might think she ran out of good pokemon, but a Lv. 58 Arbok comes out next, followed by a Lv. 60 Gengar. (Your Hypno, if you use my plan, will make these fights very easy. Pikachu can also take on the Golbat) Remember, she is on of the only trainers who can call back pokemon at will. The forth man (Lance) has awesome Dragons to fight you. He said he trained for a long time, no wonder she starts off with a Lv. 58 Gyrados! A pair of Lv. 56 Dragonairs follows the fight. A Lv. 60 Aerodatcytl next (I guess he was at the lab too). Finally, he brings out his long-trained and VERY hard- to-get Lv. 62 Dragonite! One word... watch out for HYPER BEAM! (Pikachu can beat the Gyrados easily. As for the dragons, use Articuno if you have it. It can go ahead and take on all four. The Aerodacytl is another good target for Blastoise.) After 4 long, hard battles, you will realize that another had already defeated the Elite Four! Who is it? Why.. it is Gary! After he tells you of his ambition, you fight his 6 strong Pokemon with what is left of your six. He starts with a Lv. 61 Pidgeot, which is easy to defeat. (Another small-fry for Pikachu) Then he calls an Lv. 59 Alakazam, (pound with everything you got) followed by a Rhydon. (Use the Blastoise to full effect) He finishes off with pokemon of fire, water, and plant types with them being Lv. 61, Lv. 63, and the last being Lv. 65 (his first pick in the game). His plant choice is Exegguter, his Fire Choice is Arcanine, and his water choice is Gyrados. They will come out in dimuting power order (Water-Fire-Plant. Fire-Plant-Water, or Plant-Fire Water). (Blastoise gets the fire, Pikachu gets the water, and Hypno/Mewtwo for the plant) If you manage to defeat him in this climatic and difficult battle, be prepared for the ending of Pokemon! THE END... or is it? Unknown Dungeon After you have beaten the Pokémon League, go back to Cerulean City. northwest of Cerulean City in a cave is Mewtwo, the best Pokémon there is (# 150). He is at lv. 70 and is at the end of a long way in the cave. There are Lv. 50s Pokemon from everywhere (Venomoths, Chanseys, Kadabras, Raichus(!!!), Magnitons, Marowaks, Hypnos, etc.). It is possible to catch Mewtwo without the Master Ball, but it is hard. He is no pushover and will do a lot of damage against you. He has Swift, Psychic, Recover, and Barrier at his command. Which means 2 attacks (one fast and one powerful) and two defenses (one for healing and one for defense), making him a balanced and powerful pokemon.

Gold/Silver Versions!!

As you may have known, the gym leaders in gold and silver are the gym leaders in the Jolt League!

The Beginning
You are started by giving two options. The top is new game and one under is options. Pick the top one to start your mission. You will see a line of dots then then some numbers. This is when you could set the time of day you a start with. This is not really necessary or important at all. Just click and choose what you want and then Professor Oak will appear. He will introduce himself and tell you what pokemon is. This is basically the same speech he gives in red/blue version. Then he will ask you your name. If you don't know Japanese, then it nothing. Just click anything a and go on. You will then shrink in size and be in your room. Go and look at the poster on the wall. It is the map of all the towns. It will give you a little idea about the places you will be travelling through. Then go down the stairs and you will see your mom. She is asking you what time of the day it is. Just pick any option and leave the house. When you leave your house, go to Professor Oak's labortory. Go left and up and you will the building. He will talk to you and then tell you to pick one of the three pokemon on the table beside him. There is Hinoarashi, the fire Pokemon. There is also Waninoko, the water pokemon. It looks like a dragon or a lizard of some sort. The leaf pokemon is the easiest to indentify. It has leave on it's back! It's name is Chirotiita. Pick the type you like and then leave. You are not challenged by any one to battle. Continue west as you leave the lab. Your pokemon is started at level 5. You'll probably face some pokemon as you walk through the tall grass. Probably some pidgey's, rattata's, O-Tachi's and caterpie or weedle according to the color you playing. It is not very difficult to find the way to the town. You will see some people along your way. They will not challenge you to a battle but talk to them. Remember always to talk to any you see. You cannot miss out on an important item they may give you. You will eventually see a Pokemon Center. It is "PC". Heal your pokemon and go east and beside the shop, you will see a path. Go to the path and continue north. You will reach a house. There may be a house before the one I'm talking about but in the house, there is a guy and Professor Oak. He will give you a Pokedex. Then, when you leave the house, you will get a call on your cell phone. It is Utsugi and he is telling you that someone had stole one of his pokemon. Then he tell you to go back to his lab. Go back to the lab. Reminder, you are about to face your rival once you leave step right of the Pokemon Center. Her pokemon will have the advantage against yours and hers is Level 5. If you have trained a little before this battle, you will probably win. Then continue back to the lab. Go into the lab and talk to him. Then leave. When you are about to leave, his assistant will give you 5 pokeballs for catching pokemon. There is a person who will teach you how to catch pokemon just west of your home town. If you already know, then don't bother. If you don't, pay attention because you will need to know. Then go back to the Pokemon Center. Go back to the Path and head north of the house where you got the pokedex. It is where you probably saw the fighting trainers. They are no longer blocking the path of heading north. They will ask you to battle. Continue west until you reach the next city. On the way, you will see a cave. Just ignore that for now since you don't have the HM for flash or even the badge to use it. Catch some pokemon on the way. There is a shop where they sell more pokeballs. Just remember to symbols for a pokeball if you don't know Japanese. Go north of the city and you will see a tall building. This building is the bellsprout's temple. There are trainers there who will fight you. When you get to the top, go and beat the leader. He will give you the HM for flash. It is easy to recognize because of its number 5. You will need to catch a bellsprout if you want your pokemon to have flash. You see a gym, dont you? Well now, you are ready for it. There are 2 trainers before the gym leader. They all use flying pokemon. They are just pidgeys and spearows so it shouldn't be a problem. If your pokemon are at least over Level 12. You are heading for victory.

First Gym to Second Gym:
When you leave the gym, you will get a call from Professor Utsugi. He is telling you to go get an egg at the pokemon center. So do so. You will see a man with glasses at the pokemon center. Leave a space in your 6 slots for it. After, go to a path on the west side of town and south until you see several caves. There is a woman in one of them. This is where to solve the Kabuto Puzzle. It is not very difficult. Solving this puzzle will awaken some of the pokemon. Then you will be dropped down to another cave. You will see Magnets of all different shapes. They are the same Pokemon. So catch one. Go back on the path heading east until you see another path. Go south and fight all the trainers. There is a pokemon called An'Noon. Catch it if you like. When you get to a person who asks you for 100 yen, say yes. Then go to the Pokemon Center. There is a fisherman there who will give you a rod. Use the rod to catch a magikarp. Then find a blocked cave. Then go to the house that is on the north west side of town. Talk to the man inside the house and he will unblock the cave for you. Go to the cave and fight all the Team Rockets and free the slowpoke. Now, you can fight the gym leader. She likes to use bug pokemon. She has a kakuna, metapod and Scyther. It is not very difficult to beat her. She will give you an insect badge if you win.

Second Gym to Third Gym
When you exit the gym, go west. Find the boy who lost his farfetch'd. You will see a farfetch'd somewhere near that place. Chase the bird until it goes right in front of its trainer. This boy will reward you will HM01 and you could teach cut to one of your pokemon. You will see a tree right above the trainer. Cut it down and go north. You will see one of those buildings that separates routes. Inside, talk to the girl with the butterfree and she will give you a TM. Kept on going north. You will see a house with a pond in front. You could find a krabby in their pond. The people in the house could breed your pokemon. Go north and fight the trainers until you get to the town. This town is large. Go find one of the houses with a staircase that goes to the basement. There are trainers to fight and you will see a little path to a blue door. It is locked right now but remember it. After you beat other gyms, you will have to come back and fight the Team rockets. When you finished fighting the trainers, go up the other staircase. You will be in another house. Go to the tall metal building and talk to the woman furthest on the right. She will ask you a couple of questions. You already know the top is "yes" and the bottom is "no". So answer yes, yes,yes,no,yes,no. She will give you a radio. Go up the stairs, and you will see a woman and a jigglypuff. Go to the left side of the room and you will see a person blocking the other staircase. It is not important that you get him out of the way right now, so forget about him. But DO remember, you will have to come back to this metal building later. There is a house on the bottom right of town. Talk to the person inside and you will get a bike. Go to the house right of the gym. There, you will see two girls. Talk to both of them. One of them will give you "Squirtle Water" You will need that later. Now go inside the gym, fight all the trainers until you get to the gym leader. This gym uses normal type pokemon. The gym leader has a Clefable and a Mirutanku. It looks like a stupid cow but it not very easy to beat.

Third Gym to Fourth Gym
Go north of town and head for the garden. You will have to fight some trainers. Fight them and catch some wild pokemon. You will eventually come to a weird/strange looking tree. Use the "Squirtle Water" on it. It will come to life. Battle it and capture it. Now go north. Do not go east or you will be going back to the first gym. You will have to fight more trainers now. Continue heading north until you get to the next town. You will find a building where people are performing on stage. Go on to the stage and challenge all the women. They have all 5 types of Eevee. There are 2 new ones. When you beat these woman, you get a lot of experience. Go to the tall building most north and left side of the town. You will face your rival there. Also, go down the black holes. You will see some cats and items. Get all the items you can and return to the gym. This gym uses Ghost pokemon. The platform is invisible but not hard to find out. Simply go up then left or right to the next trainer and you will not fall off the platform. You will get to the gym leader. Defeat him to get the phantom badge.

Fourth Gym to Fifth Gym
Now that you won the 4th badge, go back to place where the women performed. Talk to the man inside and he will give you HM03 which is surf. Teach it to one of your pokemon and head west. You will fight some trainers and see some new pokemon in the tall grass. Go west and then south until you get to another city. You will see a gym with no one in it. Go south and you will see a large body of water. Surf in the water and head southeast. You will have to fight some trainers and they all use water pokemon, of course. Then you will reach an island. Heal your pokemon and fight the trainers in the gym. They all use fighting pokemon. Defeat the gym leader. When you get out of the gym, you will see a woman. Talk to her and she will give you HM04 which lets you use strength. Talk to the people on this island. One of them will give you the fly HM which is HM02.

Fifth Gym to Sixth Gym
Go back to the town with no people in the gym. Go east of the pokemon center and you will see a tall building. Fight and work your way to the top where you see a girl and her pokemon. Talk to her and she will disappear. She is the gym leader. Walk into the dark platforms and you will eventually get to the first floor where there is a woman. Get outta the building and go to the gym. There are no trainers in there but you will see the gym leader. The girl uses Electric and Steel pokemon. She has 2 magnemites and another strange looking pokemon. It is level 35. Her pokemon are a somehow difficult to beat.

Sixth Gym to Seventh Gym
Go back to the town where you fought for the phantom badge. Go east of the Shop and through the building that separates the routes and cities. You will see a body of water and a cave. Surf on the water and go east. You will get to the next town where the gym is blocked by someone. You have to get the gym open. Go north of the town. You will have to fight some trainers. You will then see people, a house and a pond. Surf in the pond until you see a gyarados. This gyarados is golden. Fight it and capture it. Then get out of the water and you will see a man with a cape next to a sign. Talk to him and he will disappear. He has returned to the city below. So back to that city. Go to the house north of the pokemon center. You will see the man with the cape once again. He will show you the secret staircase that leads to the Team Rocket's base. Fight all the Team Rockets,get items and go up the staircase. You will see the black cape man and he will heal your pokemon. Then fight all the rockets until you get to the top floor. Open the door to the room with the bird pokemon and fight the leader. After you beat the leader, go down the fight all the electrodes that are powering the building. You should capture one if you want. Then go to the blocked gym. It will now be open. This gym uses ice pokemon and it is not hard to beat. You will slide on the ice to fight different trainer. They are female skiers or male snowboarders. Slide on the ice to different places until you get in front of the gym leader. Fight him and he will give you a TM and a badge. When you leave the Seventh Gym, you need to go east. Bring a pokemon with strength. If you remembered before, there was a man asking you for 300 yen and he wouldn't let you go through. Now, he is gone. Go east from the north of the pokemon center. You will see that special tree and some trainers. There are also some ponds where you could go fishing. Fight all the trainers and kept on heading east. You will see a cave. It is the ice cave. The ground of this ice cave works just like the one you faced in the seventh gym and I doubt you will like it. You are faced with an ice ground will around 10 rocks. This way to get out of there: 1, place yourself north of the top rock on the right hand side. 2, Slide all the way left. You should be on the higher rock of the two. 3, Go Down, right and down. 4, then go one step right and move up. Finally, slide right all the way to the ground. You will see another ice ground with 4 rocks. On the other side of these ice, there is HM07. Remember to get it! The maze is not really hard so I dont have to explain how to get to the ball. After you got HM07, go to ladder leading you down. Go down and you will see boulders. Push one boulder down each one of the black holes. Then fall into any of the holes. You are on an ice rink! You will see a pokeball and another ladder. That is your destination. Start from the far top right boulder. Go down, left and up and then right. You will get to the ground with the pokeball and the ladder. Go down the ladder. There is nothing much to do at this level of the cave. Just get the pokeball lying there and go up the ladder on the other side. Here is another ice rink. Get the pokeball and then go up the ladder. Another easy ice puzzle. Get yourself through the ice to the ground then go up the ladder. This is the exit level of the cave. Go out of the cave and talk to the girl. This is the last city. You will see that the gym is blocked. NOW! Do you remember the third town where you weren't allowed to go to many of the closed places? Go to that town! Go to the tall metal building and fight all the rockets all the way to the top of the building. Fight the boss in the garbage wear clothing and he will give you a key. Now, go to one of the houses with only a staircase leading to the basement. Go to the path on the right side and use the key to open the door. Right when you are about to fight the first rocket, you have to confront your rival. Her pokemon are around level 30 so if you have trained well, it shouldn't be hard. Defeat her and fight the rockets. You will also face some burglars. Do you see the blue switches on the wall? Push those to open the doors to the end. There is a female TR at the end. Once you get there, push the blue switch to open the doors. Go inside and fight all the rockets until you get to the basement of the Shop. Talk to one of the guys with the boxes and they will give you a ID card to go back to the tower. It is used to open the door that didn't let you in. It's on the 3rd or 4th floor I think. Now go and fight the rocket's boss. He will leave and then the Eighth Gym is now unblocked! The Eighth Gym is another boulder puzzle. Solve it and defeat the gym trainer. She likes to use dragons. But after you fight her, she does not give you the badge. You have to surf north of the gym to where an old man had once blocked. You have to destroy the whirlpool with the HM06 technique. Surf to the east and get the pokeball. She will come now and give you the Dragon Badge!! along with TM24, dragon blizzard.

8th gym to League
Exit the cave and you will get a phone call. It is Utsugi. Go to him in your hometown and he will give you the Master Ball. You can enter the pokemon league now since you have all eight badges. Leave and surf right/east of your house. You will then see a man and he will give you a map card. This enables you to see the second map which is necessary for your second quest. Once you have got the second map, go into the cave. You will need the HM07 move where you could surf up waterfalls. Get out of the cave and you are on the blue/red/yellow, so called victory road. It is shorter and there are no boulders or puzzles to solve. Fight all the trainers and you will hit another cave. This will be the last cave you enter before you get into the pokemon league. It is also your last time fighting your rival. Get out of the cave and you will see a building. This is the pokemon league. Here you will have to defeat the Elite 5. It consists of Itsuki (Psychic pokemon), Koga (poison), Batsu (bruno), karin (agatha's grand-daughter), and Wataru (Lance). Their pokemon should be level 40 or higher. If you have trained well, it should not be very difficult.

Second Mission!
You've made it this far, are you going to make it to the end? Once you finish with the pokemon league, go back to your home town. You probably got a call from Professor Utsugi already. Talk to him and he will give you a boat ticket. Go to the city with the steel and electric pokemon which is really where you got your 6th badge. Go to the building on the south part of town. The building has only a staircase. Keep on moving up the staircases until you get to deck. Now enter the boat. Your room is the only place on the boat where you could heal. Check all the rooms and fight some trainers. Talk to a gentleman in one of them and he will say that his daughter is missing. Go up the stairs and the sailor won't let you through. Now go back to the room that is right from your own and fight him. Now you can go up the stairs and no one will block you. Defeat all the passengers on the floor and go up the stairs. Talk to the little girl that is beside the captain and she will go back to her cabin. You can get off the boat now. You will arrive in Vermillion City! You will see a snorlax and a gym. Go to the gym and beat Lt.Surge. He will increase the speed of your pokemon. Go south of Vermillion City into Saffron. Go into the fighting gym and pick up the pokeball. Next to that gym, it is sabrina. You may have noticed that many trainers are gone which were in the red/blue/yellow version. Defeat Sabrina and head west. You know the way. It is Erika's gym. Go and fight her. Go west onto the cycling trail and down to Fushia City. There is no safari zone. The leader of the gym is actually a girl, not Koga. Her name is Anju. She will give you the pink badge if you win. After defeating her, don't think you could go and fight blaine since you are trapped by rocks. Go back to Saffron and go east. You will be trainers. Fight them and you will get to the radiostation. Talk to all the men and then leave. Go through the Rock tunnel and you will reach a pokemon center. Go west and surf south to where the powerplant used to be. It is now a powerstation. Talk to the guy in the generator room and then leave. Go back to Cerulean and into the gym. You will bump into a Rocket. He then leaves. Go north of Cerulean where the nugget bridge used to be and you will find the rocket in the middle. Fight and beat him. He will tell you he has hidden something in the gym. It is the item that the power station is missing. The item is nearly in the middle of the gym. It could be found on the left space above the small square of water. Go back to the powerstation and give the item to the man in the generator room. He will give you a TM. Now go to the radio station in lavender town to get a Radio Upgrade. You can now wake up the snorlax. Go to Vermillion City and play your radio at the last tuneable station. It is just plain music. Now the Snorlax will wake and attack. It is Level 50. Try to catch it. Go throught the diglett's cave and cut down the tree before Pewter City. Defeat Brock and head south to pallet. You will find that Viridian is empty. Did you forget Blaine? Surf south of Pallet Town till you get to an island with a pokemon center. Now go east until you get to another island. This is the formly Seafoam Islands. Inside the cave, you will see Blaine. Go and defeat him. Now you have 15 badges. Go to Viridian now. The gym is no longer empty. There is a building where you can get unlimited matches. This only applies to if you leave the building and re-enter again. This guy looks exactly like you! He has all three of the final evolutions of the starters. He will give you some experience. Go into the Viridian Gym. There are no trainers. The leader is "GARY"! His pokemon are quite strong and hard to defeat. Once you have gotten all 16 badges, don't think it's over. In order to get the karate guy out of the way in guard station near the pokemon league, you have to fight your rival again. As you enter Mount Moon, your rival will ask to challenge you again. It shouldn't be difficult at all. Now, go west of Viridian City to Indigo Plateau. The guy standing on the path cross-wise across that guard station will let be gone now so continue. You will walk through some grassland. If the pokemon are level 40 or greater, you are in the right place. This is also a good area to build up levels. There is also a pokemon center there. You will also see a cave. Go into the cave and work your way through. It's not very difficult. You will find someone at the end. It is Ash! He has the strongest pokemon in the entire game! Pikachu (Lv. 81), Eevee (Lv. 79), Blastiose (Lv. 77), Venusaur (Lv. 77), Charizard, Snorlax (Lv. 79).
