The following walkthrough is intended for those who want information on Pokemon: Yellow Version. Yet it works as well
for Red and Blue, and possible Green versions. Just some of the things are different, although I'm sure you knew that, didn't
ya.
The main chunk of the guide. Standard walkthrough, start to finish.
[Pallet Town]
Pokemon: Pikachu (1), Eevee
(1).
Items: Potion.
Trainers: Rival (Gary).
Head up to your PC and withdraw the Potion. Go outside, and walk
north in to
the grass. Professor Oak will stop you, and catch a wild pokemon. Follow him
back to his lab, and you'll
meet your rival. He'll snatch the Pokemon intended
for you, and you'll get the Pikachu Oak caught earlier. Head outside
and Gary
will challenge you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Gary
Rewards: $175, 97 EXP
Thundershock a few times and Eevee's toast. You shouldn't need to, but you can
heal with the
potion you withdrew earlier if your HP gets low.
Pokemon: Eevee (Lv. 5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After
winning you'll discover the little rat would rather follow you along than
stay in his pokeball. Your mom can heal your
pokemon at your house if you need
to. When you're finished, head north to Route 1.
[Route One]
Pokemon: Pidgey,
Rattata
Items: Potion.
Trainers: None.
Talk to the first person you see and you'll receive a free potion. Nothing
else
interesting on this route, but the pidgey's here are very easily defeated with
pikachu's thundershock. Good for
a couple of quick early levels. When you get
through route one, you'll be in Viridian City.
[Viridian City]
Pokemon:
None.
Items: Potion, Oak's Parcel.
Trainers: None.
Enter the town, heal if needed, and head to the Pokemart.
The clerk there will
give you a package to deliver to Oak. Before doing so, head west until you find
a very small passage
to the north. Head up the passage, following the turn
right until you come to a bush. Check it (press A) for a Potion.
Then head back
to Pallet Town.
[Pallet Town]
Pokemon: None
Items: Pokedex, Town Map.
Trainers: None.
Head
down to Oak's lab and deliver the package. Gary will come in, brag a
little, and you'll both receive a Pokedex. Shops will
now sell you Pokeballs,
and you can begin catching pokemon. Afterwards, head up to the house above the
lab, and get
a town map from Gary's sister. Then head back up to Viridian, via
route one.
[Viridian City]
Pokemon: None.
Items:
Pokeball.
Trainers: None.
Head to the pokemart, buy a few pokeballs, and head west to route 22.
[Route
Twenty-Two]
Pokemon: Rattata, NidoranM, NidoranF, Spearow, Mankey.
Items: None.
Trainers:
Spearow is easily
bashed upon for quick easy EXP. The others are pretty easily
taken down too. Be sure you catch at the least, a Mankey.
It will provide very
useful in the first gym. You can catch the others if you'd like, but they take
a bit of training
before they're any good. Put Mankey in the lead after you
catch him, you'll need to train him briefly before you enter
the next area.
When both pokemon are around level 7, go west to find gary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Gary
Rewards: $280, 268 EXP
Spearow's dead in two thundershocks. Eevee can go down to either Pikachu or
Mankey, pick
your poison.
Pokemon: Spearow (Lv. 9), Eevee (Lv. 8)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After
that's done with, heal, and head north to route two.
[Route Two]
Pokemon: Pidgey, Rattata, NidoranF
Items:
None.
Trainers: None.
The Pidgey here go up to level 7, making it a great area to raise Pikachu if he
still seems
weak. Try to have mankey learn low kick here (Lv. 9) as well. Then
head into Viridian Forest.
[Viridian Forest]
Pokemon:
Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Caterpie, Metapod.
Items: Pokeball, Potion [x2].
Trainers: Lass, Bug Catcher [x4].
Enter,
head to the west, then north to pick up a pokeball. Head back down, left
into a small grass patch, and talk to the trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Lass
Rewards: $90, 151 EXP
Mankey's Scratch or Pikachu's Thundershock will easily take them both
out. Yawn.
Pokemon:
NidoranF (Lv. 6), NidoranM (Lv. 6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back
to the entrance, and go to the right. Walk up and you'll meet another
trainer soon enough.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $70, 158 EXP
Two caterpies. Oooh. Mankey's scratch will do.
Pokemon: Caterpie (Lv. 7) [x2]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head
up through another grass patch and you'll find yet another bug catcher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $60, 249 EXP
Metapod doesn't attack, toss the weakest of your two pokemon at him. Caterpie
goes down again
to mankey's scratch. The last metapod is shockingly just as the
first. By now mankey should be guaranteed to know low kick,
and pikachu should
have thunder wave.
Pokemon: Metapod (Lv. 6) [x2], Caterpie (Lv. 6).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head
up and collect the potion, then make your way left and down, until you
come to yet another bug lover.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $80 , 213 EXP
More of the same, just at higher levels. Use mankey here to get him to level 11
or so.
Pokemon:
Caterpie (Lv. 8), Metapod (Lv. 8).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow
the grass path up, left, and down again. Go down to your right and
collect another potion. Then head up to the left for
one more buggy trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Bug Catcher
Rewards: $100, 103 EXP
Whomever is the lowest level in your party, be it mankey or pikachu, use them
to knock off
another caterpie.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Try
to have both your pokemon at level 10+, and head up through the gate house
into pewter.
[Pewter City]
Pokemon:
Pidgey, Rattata, NidoranM, NidoranF.
Items: TM 34 (Bide), Boulder Badge.
Trainers: Jr. Trainer, Brock.
There's
a patch of grass with the same pokemon you've seen before, so that's
not of much use. Heal your pokemon, put mankey in
the lead, and head directly
to the gym in the northwest corner of pewter. Into the gym, and first up is a
mini-trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Jr. Trainer
Rewards: $180, 334 EXP
One or two low kicks from mankey will take out diglett, depending on your
level. Sandshrew
will require two or three low kicks, however, unless your
level is rather high.
Pokemon: Diglett (Lv. 9), Sandshrew
(Lv. 9).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heal if needed, then approach the
gym leader, brock.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GYM LEADER: Brock
Rewards: $1188, 460 EXP, TM 34
One, or two at most of the low kick variety will take out geodude. For onix,
it's
only three. You should make it out without a scratch. Claim your rewards
from brock, heal, then head east to the trainer-ridden
route three.
Pokemon: Geodude (Lv. 10), Onix (Lv. 12).

Items: None.
Trainers: Lass [x3], Bug Catcher [x3], Youngster [x2]
Now
that he's served his purpose, dump mankey in the PC, and bring your pikachu
through the hellish amount of trainers in this
area. Starting with the first...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Lass
Rewards: $135, 210 EXP
Two pidgeys. Two thundershocks. Easy.
Pokemon: Pidgey (Lv. 9) [x2].
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Going
up, we find another group of trainers...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $100, 335 EXP
Your only real danger here is getting posioned by Weedle. If that happens, just
heal at a
pokecenter. All three go down to 2-3 quick attacks or thundershocks.
Pokemon: Caterpie (Lv. 10) [x2], Weedle (Lv. 10).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not
too far to the right...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Youngster
Rewards: $165, 278 EXP
Rattata is easy, dead in two quick attacks. Ekans could be a problem if you are
unlucky and
get stuck in a poision/wrap combo. To fight this, T-wave ekans
first, then assault it with thundershock. Should fall in
3 rounds.
Pokemon: Rattata (Lv. 11), Ekans (Lv. 11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To
the right, jump down the ledge, to find a lonely trainer..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Youngster
Rewards: $210, 174 EXP
Type advantages are so fun. Two thundershocks are more than enough to do
spearow in.
Pokemon:
Spearow (Lv. 14).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back up to the top
part of the area, and find some more trainers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Lass
Rewards: $150, 248 EXP
Two thundershocks and rattata's toast. Nidoran's gone in two-three
thundershocks.
Pokemon:
Rattata (Lv. 10), Nidoran (Lv. 10).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just
below lassie....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Bug Catcher
Rewards: $90, 475 EXP
Weedle's down in 2 t-shocks. Kakuna doesn't attack, use what you please.
Caterpie and metapod
are respectively equal to the former two, in that they
both suck.
Pokemon: Weedle, Kakuna, Caterpie, Metapod (Lv.
9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Down to the right, and you're nearly
there...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Bug Catcher
Rewards: $110, 293 EXP
Both fall to two thundershocks. Wonderful.
Pokemon: Caterpie (Lv. 11), Metapod (Lv. 11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head
down to the grass patch, avoiding the last trainer (you'll come back to
her later). You can find some pokemon here, including
sandshrew. Be sure to
catch it. Level pikachu to 16, and try to train sandshrew some in the grass. If
you can get pikachu
to level 17, and sandshrew to 10, head back and fight the
last trainer you avoided earlier... (otherwise, skip the below
section and move
on).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Lass
Rewards: $210, 228 EXP
Lead with thunderwave, to paralyze jiggly. Then use Double Team (hopefully) six
times to
maximize your evade. Pound won't hurt you much, but she could disable
one of your moves, or even worse, put you to sleep
with sing. With any luck,
though, she'll be paralyzed and you'll be DTed to the max, making it easy to
take her down
with quick attack. If you do manage to get put to sleep in
between setting up pikachu, switch to sandshrew, and use sand
attack to lower
her accuracy to where you can win in a drawn out fight.
Pokemon: Jigglypuff (Lv. 14)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After
healing in the pokecenter above, you have another option. You can buy a
magikarp for $500 from a man inside, but i highly
suggest you don't. At level
5, with no attacking moves, you'd need to raise it 15 levels before it came
useful. We'll
get one later, at a tad higher level, so skip it for now.
Withdraw mankey from the PC (don't worry about leveling it at
all), and enter
mount moon.
[Mount Moon]
Pokemon: Geodude, Zubat, Paras, Clefairy, Sandshrew.
Items: TM
12 (Water Gun), Potion [x2], HP Up, Rare Candy, Escape Rope, TM 01

to the left and go down to find TM 12. Head up to the left and grab the
Potion, then talk to the trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $110, 287 EXP
Two quick attacks from pikachu for weedle, then switch to sandshrew and wittle
away kakuna's
life with scratch. Poor thing doesn't even attack.
Pokemon: Weedle (Lv. 11), Kakuna (Lv. 11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To
the right and it's another trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Lass
Rewards: $210, 204 EXP
A stripped-down version of the jigglypuff you fought earlier. Thunderwave with
pikachu, switch
to mankey, and low kick away.
Pokemon: Clefairy (Lv. 14).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue
up and to the right. When you see a ladder going down, use it. Down
and to the left to another ladder, then head right
and up to collect a HP UP.
Head left and you'll find a rocket.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Rocket
Rewards: $330, 475 EXP
Two low kicks from mankey will dispel of the sandshrew. Just one low kick and
rattata is
down. Pikachu can take care of zubat in one thundershock.
Pokemon: Sandshrew (Lv. 11), Rattata (Lv. 11), Zubat (Lv.
11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the ladders to exit the way you
entered, and go down once you've made it
back to the original ladder. To the bottom left is a potion, and to the
upper-right
of it is a trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer: Super Nerd
Rewards: $275 , 449 EXP
Four scratches from sandshrew will take down magnemite with very little damage
taken. Voltorb
is very fast, but has a very weak defense. Use sandshrew or
mankey.
Pokemon: Magnemite (Lv. 11), Voltorb (Lv. 11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head
to the right to find a Rare Candy, then go up to find an Escape Rope. Back
down to the left you'll find another trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Bug Catcher
Rewards: $100, 377 EXP
As usual, very weak bugs. Any of your pokemon will take them out, although i
suggest your
weakest (Probably sandshrew to this point).
Pokemon: Caterpie (Lv. 10) [x2], Metapod (Lv. 10).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go
up a ways, and you'll find another girl inside a mountain. Ooh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Lass
Rewards: $165, 381 EXP
None of your moves will be very effective versus this grass duo, so stick with
pikachu, or
mankey if you must. Sandshrew is uber-weak to grass. A few quick
attacks should do the job. T-wave if you must.
Pokemon:
Oddish (Lv. 11), Bellsprout (Lv. 11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue
to the left until you come to another ladder. Head down it, down the
next ladder, go to your right, and pick up TM 01.
Head down and you'll have to
fight another rocket.

Trainer:
Rocket

Pokemon: Zubat (Lv.
12), Ekans (Lv. 12).

of the boulder, to find a hidden ETHER. Go back via the
ladders, and head down. You'll immediately come to another trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sandshrew and scratch for the first two rattatas, and thundershock from pikachu
to take out
zubat.
Pokemon: Rattata (Lv. 10) [x2], Zubat (Lv. 10).

Go
all the way left, then up to find a Moon Stone in the upper corner. Then
fight the trainer below the ladder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Hiker
Rewards: $350, 596 EXP
Mankey's low kick for a quick kill on all three.
Pokemon: Geodude (Lv. 10) [x2], Onix

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down the ladder, follow the
path, down another ladder, then to the right and
it's yet another rocket.

Trainer:
Rocket
Rewards: 307 EXP
Two quick attacks for rattata, and a thundershock for zubat, courtesy of
pikachu.
Pokemon:
Rattata (Lv. 13), Zubat (Lv. 13).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue
to the right and up, following a longish path. Eventually it will turn
upwards. Go up until you can see a single trainer
at the top of some stairs. To
the right will be a small slit. Walk all the way to the right in it, and search
(press
a) to find a Moon Stone. Then go upwards and you'll be challenged by the
trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Super Nerd
Rewards: $300, 787 EXP
Grimer and Koffing both have good defense, but relatively low special. Use
thundershock on
them both. Voltorb, on the other hand, has a very frail
defense. Use quick attack to disperse of him.
Pokemon: Grimer
(Lv. 12), Voltorb (Lv. 12), Koffing (Lv. 12).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards,
you have the choice to take either the Helix Fossil, or the Dome
fossil. I usually go with the dome fossil. It doesn't
matter much, both are
fossils of different pokemon of the same element which you will revive later.
You can only get
one, and not both, so just pick whichever you'd like, and walk
to the left towards the exit. Before you get there, however,
you'll be suddenly
challenged....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Team
Rocket: Jessie & James
Rewards: $425, 735 EXP
Ekans goes down to a few quick attacks. Meowth can be taken care of with
Mankey's low kick,
and Koffing can be extinguished with a couple of
thundershocks.
Pokemon: Ekans (Lv. 14), Meowth (Lv. 14), Koffing
(Lv. 14).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At long last, use the next ladder,
and a final ladder to exit mount moon.
[Route Four]
Pokemon: Spearow, Rattata.
Items: Great Ball, TM 04 (Whirlwind).
Trainers:
None.
Go to the right, and up into a small ledged area with seemingly nothing. Search
around in the center to find
a hidden Great Ball. Continue right, then go up to
find TM 04. You can jump down into a patch of grass to find some pokemon
you've
already seen. You can then head right into Cerulean City.
[Cerulean City]
Pokemon: Bulbasaur (1).
Items:
Rare Candy, TM 11 (Bubblebeam), Cascade Badge.
Trainers: Gary, Swimmer, Jr. Trainer, Misty.
Oh, so much to do. So
much to see. First things first, heal at the pokecenter,
dump mankey in the PC, then go up to the far left into a house.
Go out the back
door and you'll be in a tiny brick area. On the top row of the brick ground,
fourth brick from the right,
you can search to find a Rare Candy. Give it to
Pikachu or Sandshrew. Exit, and go down to another house. Enter,
and talk to
the girl. As long as you haven't done anything horrid to your pikachu, and have
let it fight, win, and level,
it will be happy. She will notice this and give
you a Bulbasaur. Put it in the first spot in your party. Head up to the
right
to a passageway north. You'll be stopped by that loveable rival of yours.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RIVAL:
Gary
Rewards: $595, 1037 EXP
Pikachu can take out spearow in one knock. A combination of leech seed + tackle
from bulbasaur
will eventually get sandshrew, although you might need to use a
potion once. Sandshrew will get rattata, and pikachu can
fry eevee into
submission.
Pokemon: Spearow (Lv. 18), Sandshrew, Rattata (Lv. 15), Eevee (Lv. 17).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heal
at the pokecenter then enter the gym to the right. A couple of water
trainers await.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Swimmer
Rewards: 614 EXP
Bulbasaur will take care of horsea, as bubble is very ineffective versus
bulbasaur. And if you're
at level 13, vine whip is super effective. Otherwise,
use leech seed + tackle. If you know vine whip, bulbasaur can take
out shellder
as well. Otherwise, use pikachu's thundershock.
Pokemon: Horsea (Lv. 16), Shellder (Lv. 16).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trainer:
Jr. Trainer
Rewards: $380, 446 EXP

approach misty.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GYM LEADER: Misty
Rewards: $2000, 1339 EXP, TM 11
Lead with leech seed from bulbasaur, followed by vine whip until staryu's gone.
Her
next pokemon, starmie, is much tougher. Regardless of type advantage,
bubblebeam's power will quickly knock out any pokemon.
try to get in a leech
seed from bulbasaur, and vine whip until he faints. Switch to pikachu, t-wave,
then t-shock. If
all else fails, your last ditch effort is sandshrew, but it
shouldn't get to that point. Especially if you have a level
20+ pikachu. Get
the goods, heal, and head back to where you found gary.
Pokemon: Staryu (Lv. 18)
Cascade Badge
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Nugget Bridge]
Pokemon:
None.
Items: Nugget.
Trainers:
Nugget bridge is a series of 5 trainers, a prize, and a rocket at the end.
Before
battling your levels should hopefully be around these levels: Pikachu

the latter two don't meet
those levels, i'd suggest a bit of training before beginning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In
the grass area is the ever useful Oddish\Bellsprout combo, which you should

To
the left of the pokemon center is a house. Enter it and talk to the man to
get an old rod. You can fish for magikarp with

get a
magikarp anywhere there's water as well. Go to the bottom left corner of
town and enter the house. Talk to the suited man
in the back, and you'll
eventually get a Bike Voucher. You can exchange it for a bike in the Bike Shop
at Cerulean.

Pokemon: Squirtle.
Items: TM 24 (Thunderbolt), Thunder Badge.
Trainers:
Sailor, Rocker, Gentleman, Lt. Surge.
Heal your pokemon first, and now it's time for a little status check. For one,
your
pokemon should all be evolving by now. Your charmander should easily be a
Charmeleon (Lv. 18+), your Bulbasaur should really
be up there, thanks to the
S.S. Anne, and be an Ivysaur around Lv. 25. Your Sandshrew should be the very
useful Sandslash
(Lv. 23), and your pikachu is well.... a pikachu still, but
should be around level 23+.
If you don't already have
one, catch an Oddish\Bellsprout (Route Twenty-Two),
they're pretty easy to find. Teach it cut, then cut the bush near the
gym in
the lower left corner of town and enter. The trainers here are remarkably easy,
thanks to your Sandslash....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The real challenge, if any here,

Grab the TM, and stick it
on Pikachu. Thunderbolt will make him nearly
unstoppable against any Water\Electric\Flying\Ice. And if it doesn't, you
really
haven't been training him much. Exit, and talk to the policewoman in the
middle of town, and you'll get squirtle. With
your party now of Charmeleon,
Ivysaur, Squirtle, Pikachu, and Sandslash, you've got a fairly good team going.
You'll
get your sixth team member soon (As if oddish or bellsprout would make
it on your sixth slot), as well. Heal, then enter
Diglett's Cave.
[Diglett's Cave]
Pokemon: Diglett, Dugtrio.

Squirtle Bubblebeam (TM 11), as bubble is just too weak, and Bubblebeam,

you should be able to two hit
kill most Digletts for VERY good exp. Try to level up squirtle here as much as
you can,
while working your way through the basic tunnel. When you reach the
end, exit (wow). After exiting, you'll be on Route

a clefairy yourself. Exit and cut
down the bush below. Enter the building and talk to the scientist. You'll get
HM 05
- Flash, assuming you've caught at least 10 types of pokemon, and you
should have, counting evolutions. Go down and outside
to find an HP UP, and a
Moon Stone, then double back to diglett's cave. Head back to vermillion this
way, training as
you go. You should level your squirtle to 16 by then, and have
a Wartortle. If not, train it more. Afterwards, head back
to Cerulean.
Go up past nugget bridge and to the right, use cut and get the Seismic Toss TM.
Keep this for later.

kadabra. They don't always teleport. Just hit em with tackle once, throw a

Head left. I usually avoid
the 4-trainer row as they all deal with normal types

In most cities, you hope

As such, we're going to deal with it first, get it 'out of the way',
so we can

cut the bush, and make your

LEADER: Erika Rewards: $3168, 3005 EXP, TM 21, Rainbow Badge
Tangela is pure
grass type, so Dig won't work here. You'll have to use Ember,
thanks to charmeleon. For weepinbell, send out sandslash
and dig it away. One
hit should do it. If not, pray they don't use razor leaf (Happened to me once).
If it does, just
bring out charmeleon and finish him. Gloom can be dealt with
by either Charmeleon or Sandslash, whichever is healthiest
would obviously be
your best choice.
Pokemon: Tangela (Lv. 30), Weepinbell (Lv. 32), Gloom (Lv. 32).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit
the gym, cut your way out, and enter the building to your upper-left.
Inside, you'll find a guy with glasses in the upper
left corner. Talk to him to
get the Coin Case. You can now play the slots, collect coins, and prizes. Head
back to the
pokecenter, dump oddish in the PC, and take out Kadabra. Your team
should now resemble the following:
Wartortle
(Lv. 27), Charmeleon (Lv. 29), Pikachu (Lv. 30), Ivysaur (Lv. 30),
Sandslash (Lv. 30), Kadabra (Lv. 20).
If it's
not, well, train in some grass, newbie. Movewise, you can have what
you'd like, so long as Wartortle knows bubblebeam,
pikachu knows thunderbolt,
and sandslash knows dig.
After that's done, head to the upper east corner of celadon.
Going around
you'll find a back entrance to a building. Enter, follow the stairs, and you'll
find an item on a table.
It's actually an Eevee. It will be sent to your PC,
you don't need it right now. Of course, if you want, you COULD use
an elemental
stone to get flareon, jolteon, or vaporeon. If you do so, just substitue it in
for it's matching elemental
party memer (flareon for charmeleon, etc...). Of
course, I usually just keep it there for later, as it starts out fairly
weak.
Exit, and go all the way to the left of town. There will be a huge pokemart.
Enter, and go to the third floor.
Talk to the man behind the counter to receive
TM 18, then go all the way up to the top floor.
Go to the vending
machine (it's on the top floor), and buy one of each drink.
Then talk to the girl to the left, and she'll give you one
TM for each drink.
For Fresh Water - You'll get TM 13. Give this to Wartortle immediately. For
soda pop, you'll get
TM 48. Give this to Sandslash. For lemonade, you'll get TM
49. It's not that great, just keep it for later. Buy an additional
fresh water,
and exit the mart.
You can head to the game corner and play slots \ buy coins \ prizes if you'd
like,
but they aren't too great, and the good ones are way too expensive and
low leveled to be worth it.
The real treat
in the game corner is the
super-uber-hidden-ultra-secret-rocket-base. Betcha didn't know about that, did
ya? In the
game corner, talk to the ugly guy standing in front of a poster.

arrows
on top of each other. Take the lower one. When you stop, backtrack to
the right and collect the nugget. Go back to where
you where, and collect the
Moon Stone to your lower left. Use the 'right' tile to the upper right of you

of you. Take the arrow to
your right. When you stop, take the arrow to your left. Go right, and down to
find two more
arrows on top of each other. Take the top arrow, then finally the

Psywave and Recover

Alakazam: Switch to Pikachu and T-Wave. DT up, and then use slam. Kazam knows
Reflect and

downward and you'll come to a snorlax blocking your way. Play the
pokeflute, and he will attack. You can try to catch him
here, but you probably
don't have a Sleeping move. There's another one later in the game, but if you
want to catch them
both, your best bet is using thunderwave, getting his hp
into red, and tossing ultra balls. Pretty hard when you can't
put him to sleep

Heal
at the pokecenter, then go all the way up to the Safari Zone.
[Safari Zone]
Pokemon: See "Additional Areas"
Section.
Items: Carbos, TM 37 (Egg Bomb), Full Restore, TM 40 (Skull Bash), Protein,
Gold Teeth, TM 32 (Double Team),
Revive, HM 03 (Surf)
Trainers: None.
The safari zone consists of two main purposes: Getting two key items, and
collecting
pokemon. Below is the walkthrough to get to the key items.
Collecting the pokemon isn't neccesary, but if you wish to,
check the
"Additional Areas" Section located in this Document.
From the entrance go up and to the right. You'll
exit into a new area. Go under
the sign to the right. Pass the first set of stairs and go up. You'll come to
another
set of stairs, and Carbos to the left of those. Head down and left,
following the raised path until you come to the end.
Go down the stairs then
head up. Hug the right side of the path and you'll find TM 37 off to your
right. Continue up
and you'll come to another raised path. After it is another
item - a full restore. To the right will be a shack of sorts.
Continue upwards
and then to the left. Eventually you'll come to a sign. Head underneath it to
the left and you'll exit
into another area.
Continue left, skip the first raised platform with stairs, but go up the second
one. Follow it
to the end, then continue up a distance until you can no more,
then go right to find TM 40. Continue right, then go up
at the grass patch, and
left to another item, Protein. Keep going left, then head down through some
grass, and you'll
eventually come to a new area. Go down and you'll find Gold
Teeth. You'll need these for later. After collecting them go
left to find TM
32. Search the statue just to the top left of it to find a hidden Revive, then
enter the house. You
can now use your remaning time to catch pokemon, or just
run out the clock and you'll be brought to the exit.
[Fuschia
City]
Pokemon: None.
Items: HM 04 (Strength), Rare Candy.
Trainers: None.
Exit downwards until you come to
two houses side by side. Enter the left one
and talk to the man inside. Give him the GOLD TEETH you found in the safari
zone
in exchange for HM 04. Teach HM 04 to Sandlsash or Charmeleon, in place of
their weakest move. Additionally, teach TM 03
to Wartortle, in place of
Bubblebeam, or his weakest move. You can get the rare candy inside by moving
the boulder with
strength. Wha-hay!
When you're ready, head back towards vermillion city via routes 15-12 to the
east. Head to the
west when you get to where snorlax was, and you'll be in a
area skipped from long ago when you were in vermillion. No walkthrough
for
here, they're all very weak pokemon, with a few very weak trainers. Beat em'
down with your lowest leveled pokemon
(Charmeleon, Wartortle, Pikachu) until
you reach vermillion.
[Vermillion City - Pallet Town]
Pokemon: None.
Items:
Old Amber.
Trainers: None.
Heal at the pokecenter, then dump a random pokemon in the PC and take out
oddish.
After that stretch of easy battling, you should definately have a team
consisting of Sandslash, Kadabra, Venusaur, Blastoise,
Charizard, and Pikachu.
If by chance Blastoise or Charizard aren't quite there yet, that's
understandable, but only
if you're a level or so off. Head through diglett's
cave, then cut your way back to pewter city.
Go all the way
to the top of Pewter, and you'll find a bush you can cut. Cut
through, then enter the building and talk to the scientist
at the top. He'll
give you the fabled old amber. Now exit and haul all the way back to where you
started - Pallet Town.
Put
Venusaur in the lead, and head to the bottom of Pallet. You'll come to the
water. Use Blastoise to surf, and head on down..

Head down and heal. Stick
Oddish back in the PC and get, obviously, whoever you
put back in. Make sure you have the old amber and your fossil, and
enter the
building to the left.
Enter the first room and you'll come upon two odd trading opportunities. You
can
trade your GOLDUCK for a trainer's RHYDON if you wish, or your GROWLITHE
for a DEWGONG. Neither of these are special, as
you can get them elsewhere, but
there's no harm in trading if you have the required pokemon, get them if you
wish. Enter
the next room and talk to the scientist in the corner to get TM 35.
You can give it to a pokemon if you want to have some
fun, but it's not all too
useful on the average. Enter the final room on the right, and you can trade
your KANGASKHAN
for a MUK, if you feel like it. Talk to the scientist above and
give him the Old Amber - which is a fossil of Aerodactyl.
Exit the building, go
to the pokecenter and deposit any two pokemon. Head back to the lab to get
Aerodactyl. Talk to
the scientist again and give him the Dome\Helix fossil.
Exit the lab and re-enter, to get Kabuto or Omanyte, depending
on the fossil
you gave him. Dump both pokemon in the PC, get your originals out, and go to
the top west corner of the
island. Enter pokemon mansion.

collect
the secret key, then use the escape rope you found earlier to exit.

Make sure blastoise is in the
lead, and enter the gym. The idea of this gym is
that you can skip the trainers by answering a series of questions correctly.
The
questions aren't hard, but if you're curious or just plain lazy, the
answers are: Yes, No, No, No, Yes, No. For the less
lazy, and more bored, you
can beat the crap out of the trainers for a lot of easy exp, and a LOT of cash,
if you need
it. Either way, you'll eventually meet up with Blaine.

Pokemon: Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Nidorina,

Items: Max Ether.
Trainers: None.
Show the guards your fancy badges and they'll let you pass.
Once you reach the
water you can find a max ether on a small square platform. It's in the top-left
corner. There are
a few pokemon in here you could get if you didn't have a full
team, but you'll already have six if you've been doing anything
right. At level
40-ish they give good exp. for your weaker pokemon. Catch 'em if you need 'em,
otherwise, skip along

I
hate this place. Most players hate this place. You'll hate this place.
Thankfully, it won't take too long with these directions.
Just be ready for
battles...a lot of battles.
Put venusaur in the lead, as he'll get a lot of easy wins versus wild
rock
pokemon. Use strength to push the boulder in front of you to your right.
Eventually you'll come to a switch you
can place the boulder on.
Note: If a boulder ever gets "stuck", just leave the area and come back to
where you originally
got it. A new one will appear.
Now go back and up the steps. Head right at the T intersection and you'll come
to
another boulder. Push it and you'll see two items. To get both of them
simply grab one, then come back after exiting the
area, and get the other by
moving the boulder into the open spot. If you're lazy, and just want the
'better' item, to
the left is a rare candy, and above is TM 43 - Sky Attack.
Head back down and left to your first trainer, joy.

Drowzee: Any high powered attack like earthquake or slash will do.
Hypno: Same thing,
a tad harder. I'd use sandslash\earthquake for this.
Kadabra: Less defense = easier. Slash will work from anyone.
Kadabra:
Ditto.
Pokemon: Drowzee, Hypno, Kadabra [x2] (Lv. 41)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head
right and up from here, you'll find a trainer next to an item.

Tamer
Rewards: 3034 EXP
Persian: Any special move that gets STAB. Char\FB, Blast\Surf, etc.
Golduck: Rather annoying,
as my pikachu was usually still weak, and got owned.
Lead with venusaur, finish with pikachu if he doesn't make it.
Pokemon:
Persian, Golduck (Lv. 44)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grab the full
heal nearby and head up to the right. Grab TM 17 and head back
down. Use the stairs by the previous trainer to head up.
You'll see a boulder
in front of you. First head right though, towards another item\trainer combo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Trainer:
Cooltrainer
Rewards: $1505, 5784 EXP
Exeggutor: Fire blast. Two should do it.
Cloyster: As crappy as his special is, I actually
used a single psychic from
Kadabra to take him out. Far too easy.
Arcanine: As good as he is, he's no match for
a single surf.
Pokemon: Exeggutor, Cloyster, Arcanine (Lv. 43)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grab
the max revive (You might need one by now), then head back to the boulder
and push it quite a ways up and to the left.
Eventutally you'll come to an
opening with stairs and a switch. Push the boulder onto it.
* * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Note: Moltres can be found up this set of stairs, along with a trainer
and a
guard spec. At this point in the game, I wouldn't suggest trying to catch him.
You'll need to come back later
with a high level sleeper, as well as a fast
level 60+ pokemon (A single haunter\gengar with hypnosis, for example). You'll
also
need a vast supply of ultra balls. Put moltres to sleep and wear down his
HP to around 1/4 (A move like seismic toss which
does a set amount of damange
would work well). Put him back to sleep as neccesary, and keep throwing ultra
balls. Eventually
you'll catch him. Two other tips for catching moltres:
ALWAYS save before fighting moltres or any other one-time pokemon,
if you don't
catch it without saving, you're toast.
If you just can't seem to catch moltres (He escapes at the last
second, or
similar), hold (Down + B) while the ball animation shows. It greatly improves
your success rate with moltres
(and any other pokemon you want to catch)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Whether
you fight moltres or not, head back to where you originally got the
boulder and go up the steps to the left. You'll soon
come to a trainer.

Parasect: He's 4x weak to ice and fire. Use charizard and fire blast, as he's
probably
weaker than blastoise.
Dewgong: Thunderbolt. Yay for pikachu.
Chansey: Ooh. Evil. Sing\Doubleslap\Minimize\Growl.
I had a hard time killing
it, just because it minimized the crap out of me. Go for a quick kill with
Sandslash and Earthquake,
or duke it out with Kadabra
(Reflect\Recover\Psychic). I hate chansey.
Pokemon: Parasect, Dewgong, Chansey (Lv.
43)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue down and to the left, head
down the steps, avoid the two trainers (I
hate them), and push the boulder down the shiny hole. Fall down yourself and
you'll
be in a familiar area. Push the boulder all the way to the left onto
another switch, and you'll be able to access the stairs
above you when you
first fell down. Head up to more stairs, then right.
[Indigo Plateau]
Pokemon: None.
Items:
Plenty (at the pokemart)
Trainers: Elite Four + Gary.
You actually made it out of the cave. Hooray for you. Now
get your butt up to
the combonation pokecenter + mart. Heal your pokemon, and use your unholy
amount of cash to buy
full restores and revives (7-10 of each should be
PLENTY).
Up ahead lies the elite four. Four trainers all in a
row, with only your items
to aid your weary pokemon. Before entering, I suggest having all your pokemon
at level 45
(or higher), as well as having the following items: Revive, Full
Restore, Pokeflute. Aside from levels, your movesets should
be similar to this:
Sandslash: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Strength, Slash\Fissure. (Semi-sweeper)
Kadabra: Reflect,
Recover, Psychic, Double Team\Thunderwave (annoyer)
Blastoise: Surf, Blizzard, Body Slam, Submission (Never could find
a good
fourth for him :|)
Venusaur: Mega Drain, Leech Seed, Toxic, Solarbeam\Body Slam OR
Growth, Sleep Powder, Mega Drain, Leech Seed\Solarbeam
Note: The latter is obviously better but requires a tad more
training. Makes
the entire last five battles a CAKEWALK though. But then you wouldn't need this
guide ;)
Charizard:
Double Team, Rest, Fire Blast, Slash OR
Double Team, Rest,
Swords Dance, Swift (Swift Dancer)
Pikachu: Thunderbolt, Thunderwave, Double Team\Reflect, Rest\Thunder (I often
found
pikachu too weak. Use another if you want)
If you don't have some of those TMs, just keep a good variation of elemental
moves
on your pokemon, or just use a different pokemon (Subbing in a Haunter or
Machoke for pikachu would work for example)
Onto
the elite four, huzzah.
[Elite Four]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite
Four: Lorelei
Pokemon Type: Ice\Water
Dewgong (Lv. 54) - Bubblebeam, Aurora Beam, Take Down, Rest.
Cloyster (Lv. 53) - Ice Beam,
Supersonic, Spike Cannon, Clamp.
Slowbro (Lv. 54) - Surf, Withdraw, Amnesia, Psychic.
Jynx (Lv. 56) - Lovely Kiss, Ice
Punch, Doubleslap, Thrash.
Lapras (Lv. 56) - Body Slam, Hydro Pump, Confuse Ray, Blizzard.
Dewgong: Lead with Venusaur,
and leech seed (or sleep powder if you have it).
Dewgong will likely either aurora beam, or rest. It's a toss up. If he
beams
you, use mega drain to recover (coupled with leech seed) and you'll make it.
He'll then rest, and you can mega
drain your life back and KO him. If he rests,
then simply charge up a solarbeam for an easy kill.
Cloyster: A single
solarbeam will nuke him out. Sleep powder + beam = gone. If
you don't have solarbeam (like me), you'll just have to bravely
wait the turn
to charge (you'll survive at full health). OR, if you're feeling sneaky, with a
little luck you can pull
the following off. When fighting dewgong, leech seed
him, and get him to use rest. Mega drain his life down to as close
to nothing
as you can, and then use solarbeam. With any luck (or just a bit more skill),
your solarbeam will charge,
he'll wake up, and be killed by leech seed. Your
solarbeam will them hit cloyster on the first turn "free" of charge. Not
bad,
huh?
Slowbro: With venusaur in there, he'll likely lead with amnesia. Use a
solarbeam to take off about
half his life, then leech seed + toxic. Or, if you
have sleep powder, use that and a solarbeam or a couple mega drains
(depending
on your life).
Jynx: Switch to blastoise. Two body slams and she's gone. Watch out for lovely
kiss
(use the pokeflute), and use a full restore if you get real unlucky.
Lapras: It really helps if you have sleep powder
here, then you can just powder
+ seed + drain away. If you don't have sleep powder, you're most likely going
to need
to use a revive after this. Lead with venusaur, toxic + seed (if you
make it that far, it will abuse blizzard on you).
Then mega drain until
impending death (or victory if you're lucky). Finish with pikachu and
thunderbolt if needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If
half your pokemon nearly tanked themselves, have no fear, in my opinion,
she's the hardest of all of them. Heal with your
items as needed and move on to
a MUCH easier target in bruno. Lead with blastoise.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite
Four: Bruno
Pokemon Type: Rock\Fighting
Onix (Lv. 53) - Slam, Screech, Dig, Rock Slide.
Hitmonchan (Lv. 55) - Thunderpunch,
Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Double Team.
Hitmonlee (Lv. 55) - Mega Kick, Hi Jump Kick, Double Team, Double Kick.
Onix (Lv.
56) - Slam, Screech, Rock Slide, Dig.
Machamp (Lv. 58) - Strength, Submission, Karate Chop, Leer.
Onix: A single
surf from blastoise. I guess your team is worth something after
all.
Hitmonchan: A single psychic from Kadabra\Alakazam.
Hitmonlee:
Another psychic from Kadabra.
Onix: Another surf from blastoise.
Machamp: 1-2 psychics, depending on your level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't
get too cocky, Bruno's the easiest of all four. Hopefully, though, you
didn't suffer a single hit and are in good shape
for the next trainer: Agatha.
Put kadabra in the lead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite
Four: Agatha
Pokemon Type: Ghost\Poison
Gengar (Lv. 56) - Lick, Substitute, Mega Drain, Confuse Ray.
Golbat (Lv. 56) - Wing Attack,
Leech Life, Supersonic, Toxic.
Haunter (Lv. 55) - Hypnosis, Lick, Dream Eater, Confuse Ray.
Arbok (Lv. 58) - Wrap, Glare,
Strength, Acid.
Gengar (Lv. 60) - Psychic, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Confuse Ray.
Gengar: Two psychics. Yay kadabra.
Golbat:
Switch to blastoise. One blizzard should work.
Haunter: One psychic should be all you need for this one.
Arbok:
Just one more psychic. You have to love kadabra.
Gengar: Just slightly harder than the first. Two psychics should do
it.
Annoying if you let him get set up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heal,
you'll probably need it. Put pikachu in the lead, and make your way to
the ultimate trainer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elite
Four: Lance
Pokemon Type: Dragon\Flying\Water
Gyarados (Lv. 58) - Dragon Rage, Hyper Beam, Leer, Hydro Pump.
Dragonair (Lv.
56) - Thunderbolt, Slam, Hyper Beam, Thunder Wave.
Dragonair (Lv. 56) - Wrap, Ice Beam, Bubblebeam, Hyper Beam.
Aerodactyl
(Lv. 60) - Hyper Beam, Fly, Swift, Wing Attack.
Dragonite (Lv. 62) - Hyper Beam, Thunder, Fire Blast, Blizzard.
Gyarados:
Water\Flying. 4x weak to electricity. Say hello, pikachu. 1-2
thunderbolts.
Dragonair: Bring out blastoise. One
blizzard is more than enough.
Dragonair: Deja vu, anyone?
Aerodactyl: Blastoise. Surf. OHKO.
Dragonite:
Very...very annoying. Hopefully you have PP left for blizzard (at
least one). You may not, as you need to use 4 minimum
before this one. Switch
to pikachu, thunderwave, and actually hope for him to hyperbeam on you. Screw
around with thunderbolt
for little damage until he kills you (preferably with
HB). Switch to blastoise and use blizzard, otherwise, use sandslash
and pray
you knock him out with rock slide. You shouldn't have TOO much trouble with him
(Perhaps lose a pokemon or
two).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Use your assortment of items to
make your pokemon nice and shiny again, and
head on to the last trainer, with blastoise in the lead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rival:
Gary
Pokemon Type: Balanced
Sandslash (Lv. 61) - Earthquake, Poison Sting, Fury Swipes, Slash.
Alakazam (Lv. 59) - Recover,
Psychic, Psybeam, Kinesis.
Exeggutor (Lv. 61) - Barrage, Stomp, Hypnosis, Leech Seed.
Cloyster (Lv. 61) - Ice Beam,
Aurora Beam, Clamp, Spike Cannon.
Ninetales (Lv. 63) - Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Fire Spin, Confuse Ray.
Jolteon (Lv.
65) - Quick Attack, Pin Missile, Thunder, Thunderwave.
Sandslash: Only one surf. What a promising start to the battle.
Alakazam:
Ooh. Crap. Two body slams will kill kazam, assuming his doesn't use
recover. As long as you do more than 1/2 damage to
him per hit, you're fine,
recover will only make you use a few more PP you should already have for Body
Slam. If you
can't take him that way, you'll have to use some sort of sleep
combo, or just pray. You weak trainer, you.
Exeggutor:
Enter Charizard. Fire Blast away. Two at most and he's toast. You
didn't think we'd keep Charizard on the team for nothing
did you? By the way,
if your charizard sucks, Blizzard will do (Blastoise).
Cloyster: Basically, a suped up version
of the one you faced before. A single
solarbeam will kill it if you can survive the charge. Otherwise, T-Wave +
Thunderbolt
away with pikachu.
Ninetales: A joke, after some of the harder pokemon you've faced. Blastoise
simply kills it with
surf. Honestly, what was gary thinking. Tail Whip? Quick
Attack? Bahahaha.
Jolteon: A less than climactic ending
to it all. With the ever weak quick
attack and pin missile being the only attacks that can affect your Sandslash,
he'll
have no trouble taking it out with Earthquake (or anything else for that
matter).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Game.
Set. Match. Enjoy the stereotypical ending, yellow style.
