Pallet Town

Pallet Town is the starting point of your journey, you start in your room. There will be a PC in the top left hand corner go check it out and withdraw the Potion (It will come in handy.) Walk to the grassy area to the north, and Prof. Oak will tell you to come back to his lab. You will be given the choice between 3 Pokemon, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. No matter what you choose, your rival (lets call him Gary since that’s his name on the show), will always pick the Pokemon that has an advantage against yours.

For Example:

Your Choice Gary's Choice
Bulbasaur Charmander
Charmander Squirtle
Squirtle Bulbasaur


Note: Bulbasaur is the best choice for beginners. Squirtle is the one that lots of people pick because he will get quite strong as the game geos on. Charmander would have to be the strongest of the three, but the most difficult to raise early on, because early enemies aren’t effected much by his fire attacks.

After you select your Pokemon, you will battle Gary. If you win, you will gain a little experience and your pokemon will grow a level also you will score some cash. Both yours and Gary's Pokemon have about 2 moves. 1 is Tackle or Scratch, and the other is a move that lowers their defense or attack. Use the attack that actually takes energy off the other pokemon, that should kill Gary since he usually wastes his time on the attacks that lower defense or attack. Once you win or lose, go to his house (its to the right of your house), to get a Town Map from his sister. Now, you will be set to go off to Viridian City, by going north through Route 1.


Viridian City

The PokeMart has a parcel for Prof. Oak that you need to bring to him. When you give it to him he gives you the Pokedex which allows you to play linked games and trade. Bring Oak's Parcel back to Prof. Oak in Pallet Town. You can catch 2 pokemon on the way to Prof. Oaks lab but you have to give him the parcel before you can buy some pokeballs, the pokemon are Pidgey and Rattata.. Now, go back to Viridian, buy whatever items you feel is neccessary from the Pokemart (just some pokeballs, potions and antidotes) and go through Route 2 to get to the Viridian Forest.

Viridian Forest

Here, you will fight a few trainers, but don't worry, it builds up experience real fast, and you can catch Pokemon to. If you have already traded pokemon building up levels to fast can be bad, since the traded ones won't obey you early on, but your original ones will stay loyal. If you bought Pokeballs, you can capture some pokemon. Depending on what version, you'll either get a lot of Caterpie/Metapods with the blue version or Weedle/Kakunas with the red version. If you're lucky, you can find a Pikachu. (Pikachu is really rare it takes a lot of patience to find one just keep wandering in grass and fight heaps of caterpie/weedles untill you finally see a pikachu. It took me about an hour untill I finally caught a Pikachu)


Pewter City

This is the location of the first Gym. The trainer here is Brock. He uses rock-type Pokemon, his pokemon are geodude Lv.12 and Onix Lv. 14. If you chose a Squirtle, you'll win fast. Bulbasaur does pretty good too. Charmander will get his butt whipped, so over level him or use other pokemon. Defeating Brock will get you a Boulder Badge and also TM34 (bide), which will let you use FLASH any time and raises the Power of all your Pokemon a little.

Note: When a badge lets you use FLASH or CUT etc., it doesn't mean you can use it right away. You need to find the HM that teaches that ability. Use it to give that ability to a Pokemon and then you can use it.

There are several things to do in Pewter. Pewter is one of the few cities where you don't have to do anything to get out of that city, in order to get to the next one. It's a good thing to talk to everyone, explore suspicious areas, and check out all the buildings. As in every RPG, it will usually end up with you getting rewards. When you've finished in Pewter City, take Route 3 to get to Mt. Moon. If your Pokemon are in bad condition, use an item to heal them or just make the trip back to the Pokecentre in Pewter.

Mt. Moon

Outside of Mt. Moon is a Pokecentre. In there, there is a man who will try to sell you a Magikarp for $500. DON’T buy it just leave it alone. Magikarp is the worst Pokemon. BUT once he evolves at level 20, he turns into a Gyrados. I think he's as strong as some level 30 Pokemon even. But, don't get it right now. you can get heaps for free later.
Not much to say about Mt. Moon. Find your way out. <Try and catch the rare Clefairy's in the deeper sections of the mountain> There are plenty of items lying around, and trainers protecting them as well. Some trainers give you special items when you defeat them. Bring items along or go back to the Pokecentre to heal your pokemon. There is one person who you MUST battle that isn't too tough, but when you win, will give you a special item, one of 2 fossils. They are the Dome and Helix Fossils. Either one of those fossils will allow you to get a Rare Pokemon when you get to the Cinnebar Island (the pokemon you get are: Dome Fossil-kabuto and Helix Fossil-omynmite). For now, when you get to a PC, store the fossil, since you won't be able to use it for a while.

Cerulean City

In this city, Misty is the trainer at the Gym. She uses water type Pokemon, her pokemon are Staryu Lv. 18 and Starmie Lv. 21 If you have a Bulbasaur, he'll make short work of them. Squirtle does average, and Charmander the worst. Like I said, Charmander isn't good early on. If you captured a Pikachu already, he'll do well also. It's important that you defeat Misty, because you will get the Cascade Badge. It lets you use CUT and Pokemon up to level 30 will obey you. You will also get TM 11 bubblebeam. That means that your Pokemon won't ignore your orders in battle unless they are much higher than level 30. Explore a little. In this city, there's a Bike Shop that will sell you a Bike for $1,000,000,000 or it might be 1,000,000 but what ever it is you won’t be able to afford it. Don't buy it, you can get a coupon, which will get you a free bike, in the next town. There's a house with a cop blocking it. This will be important later. Gary is at the bridge, so be prepared to fight. There's a few trainers on the bridge to that you must defeat to get to Bill's Sea Cottage. Defeat them and get a prize which is a nugget.

Sea Cottage

Bill, the Pokemaniac lives here. He invented the Pokemon storage system (the place where pokemon go when you store them via PC). He is stuck in the form of a Pokemon until you help him turn back to a human. After you help him, you will recieve an SS Anne Ticket. You can also check out his PC and get the info on the evolved forms of Evee. After you helped him, when you go to a PC, it will now say Bill's PC instead of someone's PC. Return to Cerulean City when you've finished in his cottage.

Cerulean City (continued)

After you've helped Bill, the house that was guarded by the cop is now accessible. Talk to the people inside and they will tell you that Team Rocket trashed their house and stole the TM that contained Dig. He's right outside in the backyard. Defeat him and you’ll get the TM. Travel South and there will be 3 buildings there. There's a daycare centre, here you can leave a Pokemon and have the person raise it's level (you will be charged $100 minimum). You have to leave it there for a while before it grows because every step you take it gets one EXP. point. For every level it's raised, it will cost you another $100. The daycare centre is great for low-level Pokemon, they grow faster than a Pokemon who is already strong. There is another building to the right, it has an underground tunnel in it that will take you to Vermilion City and the SS Anne. Below the daycare centre is the city gates which leads to Saffron City, which is between Cerulean and Vermilion City on the Map. You can't go through yet. City gates are everywhere, and are not accesible until you do a favor for the guards (which is buy them some water from Celadon City Mart).

Vermilion City

Vermilion is the location of the third gym. The leader is Lt. Surge. He uses Electric Pokemon, his pokemon are Voltorb Lv. 21, Pikachu Lv. 18 and Raichu Lv. 24. Electric Pokemon are crap against Grass Pokemon. Water will do the worst. Fire is alright. Defeating Lt. Surge will get you the Lightning Badge and TM 24 thunderbolt. It increases your Pokemon's speed slightly, and lets you use FLY. You won't be able to get to Surge however, until you get the HM 01-cut (see SS Anne). Vermilion City has some neat stuff. Check out all the buidlings you can. There's a Pokemon club where you will get a Bike Voucher. Take it back to the bike shop in Cerulean City to get a free Bike. Now you can travel a lot faster. Put it at the top of your item list, because you will use it a lot (Bike's can be used only outdoors and in caves). Go back to Vermilion City and get an old rod from the man in the house near the SS Anne. Now you can catch as many Magikarps as you want when you fish in the water with the old rod. Catch a Magikrap and leave it at the daycare. Now go back and go on board the SS Anne.


SS Anne

You will have many opponents to fight, but you don’t have to fight them. But it's best to do so to get some items and experience. Most of the SS Anne's passengers quarters have trainers who will fight you. Most of them use Water Pokemon to. There are many visible items as well as hidden items so search hard for them in the rooms. Gary is on the ship to. The Captain of the ship is sick. Help him <rub rub??!!>(kinky), and get HM 01-cut. Getting HM 01-cut lets you fight Lt Surge.


Vermilion City (continued)

Now that you have cut, teach it to one of your pokemon. I don't know who you can teach it to for sure, but ground-type can learn it (eg. Sandshrew, Charmander)and grass-type can learn it to (eg. Bulbasaur), and a few others. The good thing about HMs is that they can be used an unlimited amount of times, where as with TMs, you can only use them once, and many of them you will only find 1 of in the game. Cut can also be used as an attack in battle, but it is pretty weak. Teach it to a pokemon and you will be able to fight Lt. Surge and win the Thunder badge. East of Vermilion City is Diglett's Cave.


Diglett's Cave

This is a short path that will take you back to another part of Pewter City that you couldn't get to before. Diglett's cave is filled with Digletts (derr). Although there aren’t many Dugtrios in there, but if you do find one they are very hard to catch. You should try and capture one, they’re the best and at a certain level, they learn DIG which is a move you can use in and out of battle. Out of battle, you can use it like an Escape Rope and get it out of caves and some buildings, and will take you back to the Pokecentre you visited last. DIG in battle is an awesome move. It can often kill a pokemon in one hit.


Pewter City (from Diglett's Cave)

Here, you will get the HM 05-flash from one of Oak's Aides in one of the houses. He will give it to you only if you’ve caught 10 pokemon. Also, you can get many items that you missed because you didn't have CUT before. Now go back to Cerulean City so you can get to Rock Tunnel. By using cut you can get into the back of the museum, use it right next to the museum and go into the house. It will take you behind the counter of the museum so you can talk to some Scientists. Talk to the top one and you will get Old Amber. Store this in your PC. It is a fossil just like the Helix and Dome Fossil, which can be used to get a rare pokemon later (the rare pokemon is Aerodactal).


Rock Tunnel

To get here, you have to defeat some trainers. Teach flash to an Electric pokemon that you don't like. Flash is a crap move and you'll only use it once to see in the dark at Rock Tunnel. Flash isn't really an attack. It's one of those moves that lowers defence or attack or something like that in battle. While in the tunnel you will fight trainers and find items.


Lavender Town

There's no gym in this town but it is the location of Pokemon Tower, where pokemon go when they die. Don't try going in there just yet theres no point. Talk to all the people in the town and you will find that Mr. Fuji is missing. He is at the top of Pokemon Tower. If you go in, on the 2nd floor, you will have to fight Gary. Continue after that, and you will fight a heap of Channellers (ghost-pokemon trainers) and a bunch of ghost pokemon. You can't fight ghost pokemon unless you have a Silph Scope which ID’s them, which you get from Celadon City. So don't go in the tower just yet. Just go West of Lavender Town. There will be a City Gate to Saffron City (which you still can't use) and an underground tunnel that will take you to Celadon City.

Celadon City

This is where the 4th gym is. The trainer here is Erika. She uses grass-type pokemon, her pokemon are Victreebel Lv. 29, Tangela Lv. 24 and Vileplume Lv. 29. If you have a Charmander, you will defeat her quick. You can match grass against grass if you have a Bulbasaur he’ll do average. Squirtle's water attacks will not be effective against, so just use non-water attacks like tackle or bite. Also, since Squirtle is a water-type pokemon, their grass attacks will kill him fast. You will be awarded a Rainbow Badge and TM 21, megadrain, for winning. The badge makes it so level 50 pokemon obey you, and lets you use strengh. To get to here, you will need to use cut on the bushes South of Celadon. In her gym, you will find many trainers. Take your time to gain more EXP. points. Celadon is home to a very large shopping mall where you can buy things for your Pokemon. On the top floor, there are vending machines where you can buy Water, Soda Pop, or Lemonade. If you've been talking to the guards at the city gates, you'd know you need to buy them water. Buy one for a guard, and give it to him. He will share some with the other guards, and you can now go through all the city gates. Also on the top floor, there is a girl who is thirsty. Buy her some water, give it to her, and she will give you TM
!!!! icebeam then give her some sodapop and she will give you TM !!!! rockslide, now give her some lemonade and she will give you TM 49 tri attack. In the mall, you can get a Stone that evolves certain pokemon. Also, there is a Pokedoll, which will get you mimic later, or help you RUN from combat. You can also get Eevee by going into the back of one of the buildings. Once you have given the water to the guards, you can go to Saffron. But first, back to the Lavender Town business. If you've been around, you know what the Game Corner is. If you want to play, you need to get a Coin Case from a guy in the Diner. You might have heard rumors that Game Corner is run by Team Rocket if so there right. You also might have heard there is a secret switch. Go to Game Corner and talk to the guy facing the wall. He is a member of Team Rocket and will fight you. Defeat him and you can press the switch behind the poster. It will open a door to the left, which leads to the basement levels of Game Corner.

Game Corner


In Game Corner's basement, there are some Team Rocket trainers to fight, and items to find. Here's how you get to the boss, Giovanni the leader of Team Rocket. Go down the stairs to the 4th Basement Level. Then find and fight a Team Rocket guy who mentions the Lift Key. The lift key will make it so you can operate the elevator on the lower right-hand corner of every floor (except 3rd Basement) now you can get to Giovanni. You might have to talk to the man from Team Rocket after you beat him so you get the Lift Key. Now, take the elevator to get to the bottom floor and fight Giovanni. Defeat him and get the Silph Scope. Now, you can identify/fight ghost pokemon in Lavender Town.

Now you can go to Lavender Town to rescue Mr Fuji. Also in Celadon City is HM 02-fly. It is located left of Celadon City, near the city gate going to the cycling path. Get to it's location by cutting the bush in the small path that is close to the City Gates. Go up and left, through the house. It will take you to a small hallway that is right above the guardhouse. Then, there will be a house. Go in it and the girl inside will give you FLY. Now, you can quickly return to cities that you have already visited without having to journey long distances to return.

Lavender Town (continued)

We here at Lavender Town rescuing someone for 2 Reasons. There's a sleeping Snorlax blocking the route from Lavender to Fuschia (Routes 12-15) and another Snorlax blocking the Bike Path that takes you from Celadon City to Fuschia City (Routes 16-18). We need to rescue Mr. Fuji, who is trapped in pokemon tower, and he will give you a pokeflute. A PokeFlute is an item that will wake up the Snorlax and can be used to wake up sleeping pokemon in battle (very useful). Mr. Fuji is on the top floor. With the PokeFlute, you can wake up a Snorlax and attempt to capture it. There are only 2 in the whole game, so you should save before you wake it up. It sleeps a lot, so it should make it easier. You should go straight to Fuschia City because Koga is easy to beat then Sabrina. You might wanna get a ghost pokemon for later when you fight Sabrina (because she uses psychic pokemon, which are weak against ghosts).

Fuchsia City

This is the location of the 5th gym. The leader is Koga, who uses crap pokemon, his pokemon are Koffing Lv. 37, Muk Lv. 39, Koffing Lv. 37 and Weezing Lv. 43. You can get into this gym right away. But inside there are invisible walls, so you'll have to go pretty much blind through the maze. If you look close enough, you'll notice that the floor has lines going from left to right. You can tell what is a wall and what isn't by the lines on the floor. If they go up-down, then thats a piece of wall. It's pretty simple to figure out. You will get there eventually if you run into the wall enough times. After you defeat Koga you get the Soul Badge and TM 6 toxic. The badge lets you use SURF and the defense of your Pokemon will be raised a little.

Safari Zone

If you do some exploring in Fuschia City, you'll find out something’s wrong with the warden of the Safari Zone. He's missing his gold teeth. You can find them in the Safari Zone next to the Secret House. In the Secret House, if you can get there, you get HM 03-surf. When you bring the Gold Teeth back to the Warden, give it to him and he will give you HM 04-strengh. It is used to move boulders, and can be a pretty strong attack in battle. You can use it to move the Boulder in the Warden's house and get the TM in the pokeball. Next Door to the Warden's house is the fisherman's older brother (the fisherman from Vermilion City). Talk to him and he'll give you a Great Rod to fish with. You can catch few better water pokemon with it. If you came to Fuschia City through Routes 12-15 (from Lavender to Fuschia), you might have met the fisherman's oldest brother. Talk to him and get the Super Rod, which will catch you some even better water pokemon.

Saffron City

This is the location of the 6th gym, which is run by Sabrina. She uses Psychic pokemon, her pokemon are Kadabra Lv. 38, Mr Mime Lv. 37, Venomoth Lv. 38 and Alakazam Lv. 43. She will give you a Marsh Badge and TM 46 psywave if you defeat her. The Marsh Badge makes pokemon up to level 70 pokemon obey you. You can't get into this gym at first. If you've been to Saffron before you finished in Pokemon Tower, you'd have seen a tall building (Silph Co.) with the entrance guarded. If you rescued Mr. Fuji, you can now go in. Here, you will take on Team Rocket trainers and rescue Silph Co. If you beat Giovanni again and talk to the president of Silph Co. he gives you a Master Ball. The Master Ball will catch any pokemon, first try everytime. But you only get one, so save it (for Mewtwo). If you talk to a man just before you go into the room to fight Giovanni he will give a Lapras.

If you don't wanna go there right away, you can find the Psychic's house it is along the bottom road. The person there will give you TM !!!! psychic. Another place you can visit is the Fighting Dojo (it’s right next door to the gym). It use to be the Pokemon Gym, but they lost their title, and now operate outside of the Pokemon League. In there, you will fight a few fighting-type pokemon trainers. Defeat the boss of the gym and you get a free pokemon. You will have to pick between Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee. There's only one of each in the game, so this is the only time you can getit. When you defeat Giovanni and Sabrina, you should go back to Fuschia City to get Seafoam Islands

Seafoam Islands

Not much to walkthrough here. Just find your way through the cave to get out the other end so you can go to Cinnebar Island. If you try to swim inside the cave, there might be strong currents that will push you in the wrong directions. To stop that, look for boulders in the cave and use strengh to push them into the holes that are right beside them, then you go in the whole after them. The rocks will act as a dam and the current will be gone, so you can surf in the water and maybe get out quicker. If you up from where you fell in the water theres a secret pokemon. It's one of the rare birds, the icebird Articuno!


Cinnebar Island

Cinnabar Island is where the 7th gym is located. The leader is Blaine, his pokmon are Growlithe Lv. 42, Ponyta Lv.40, Rapidash Lv. 42 and Arcanine Lv. 47, he will give you a Volcano Badge and TM 38 fireblast if you win. The badge makes it so your pokemon's special abilities increase a little. Blaine specializes in fire-type pokemon. You won't be able to get into the gym until you find the Secret Key. The Secret Key is located in the Old Mansion right above the lab. It has many fire pokemon and poisonous pokemon. Make plenty of room for items too.

Also on the island is a lab, where you can finally resurrect those Helix and Dome Fossils, as well as the Old Amber you got from the back of the Museum in Pewter City. Ressurecting the fosil will take a little bit of time though. When defeated Blaine, surf North and to Pallet Town, and go through Pallet Town and go to Viridian City.

Viridian City (continued)

Viridian City the location of gym 8. If you explored here in the beginning, you'd have found that the that the gym was not accessible. Now, you will be allowed to enter. In the Gym is a bunch of those spin-tiles the same ones that were in Game Corner's basement. If you go correct way you will meet the 8th Gym Leader. The Gym Leader is Giovanni. You already know what kind of pokemon he uses but the pokemon he uses in this battle are, Rhyhorn Lv. 45, Dugtrio Lv. 42, Nidoqueen Lv. 43, Nidoking Lv. 45 and Rhydon Lv. 50. Beat him and you get the Earth Badge and TM 27 fissure. The Earth Badge makes pokemon at any level obey you. Fissure is a one hit K.O. move. It misses a lot but could work pretty well with the right pokemon. Now, journey West to the Pokemon League. You must have all 8 badges, plus a pokemon with surf and a pokemon with strengh to get to Indigo Plateau. You need surf to cross water so you can get to the cave that leads to the Pokemon League. In the cave, you'll need strengh to move boulders to activate switches which operate certain doors. If you along the right path, you will see a pokemon. Save before you fight it because it is very rare. The pokemon is a Moltres, a rare fire bird pokemon. You can capture it with almost any Pokeball, but don't use the Master Ball. When you get through the cave, you will see a building. That's a Pokemart. If you are there, you have reached Indigo Plateau.

Indigo Plateau

Inside is a Pokemart and Pokecentre. Here, you can deposit/withdraw items or pokemon, and you can trade/fight with other players with the game link cable. In order to defeat the Elite Four, you will have to rely on items. Because you will have to face 4 Trainers with level 50+ Pokemon, one after another and you can’t go to the pokecentre and heal your pokemon either. Lose once, you'll have to start all over.

The first trainer is Lorelei she uses ice type pokemon, her pokemon are, Dewgong Lv.54, Cloyster Lv.53, Slowbro Lv.54, Jynx Lv.56 and Lapras Lv.56.

The second one is Bruno he has rock type pokemon, his pokemon are Onix Lv.53, Hitmonchan Lv.55, Hitmonlee Lv.55, Onix Lv.56, Machamp Lv.58.


The next trainer is Agatha she uses ghost pokemon, her pokemon are, Gengar Lv.56, Golbat Lv.56, Haunter Lv.55, Arbok Lv.58 and Gengar Lv.60.

The last of the elite four is Lance the dragon trainer, his pokemon are, Gyarados Lv.58, Dragonair Lv.56, Dragonair Lv.56, Aerodactyl Lv.60 and Dragonite Lv.62.

Upon defeating the Elite Four, they crown you league champion. That is, they would if you didn't have 1 more trainer to face. He defeated the Elite four just before you did (like everything else). That’s right Gary is the pokemon master, he is pretty tough, but if you have recovery items, you should be fine. His pokemon are, Pidgeot, Alakazam and Rhydon. His other pokemon vary so if at the start he chose, Charmander his pokemon will be: Exeggutor, Gyrados and Charizard, Squirtle his pokemon will be: Exeggutor, Arcanine and Blastoise and if he chose Bulbasaur his pokemon will be: Arcanine, Gyrados and Venusaur. Win against him, and your Pokemon's name and level as well as time it took to beat the game until this point will be entered into the Hall of Fame. After that, you can continue on and keep fighting the the Elite Four and Gary, or continue on with your quest to become a Pokemon Master.

Secret Dungeon

The Secret Dungeon is the cave right next to right next to Cerulean City where you couldn’t get to before. Go up Nugget Bridge and use surf, and surf downward til you see the cave entrance. This is a cave with lots of great strong pokemon to capture. Here, you will find Mewtwo. If you can find him, capture him with the Master Ball you've saved. He's a level 70 psychic pokemon. In this cave, you will need surf to get to Mewtwo. You will also find some high-level Raichus and Chansey’s as well. You cannot get here until you have become a Pokemon League Champ.


Power Plant

Another secret area you can only get to with surf is the powerplant. Here, you will find lots of electric pokemon. If you manage to find your way to the exit, you will see a rare pokemon. This one is a Zapdos, and electric bird pokemon very very good. You can capture him with any ball except the normal pokeball. He's rare and the only one in the whole game, so save before fighting him. To get to the Power Plant, go to the area north east of the Rock Tunnel. It's right above the Pokecentre. use surf and surf along the river the river.
