The Pokemon Walkthrough! - Pokemon - http://maxpages.com/dragonitespage/walkthrough

You start off as a beginning minor trainer when playing the red or the blue version. You start off in your own house. In order to start the real game; you would have to get a pokemon first. So walk up to the field , but you obviously you won't get very far. The professor will bring you back to his lab and let you choose between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Before you set off to your journey, you will have to accept the challenge from Gary (or whatever you name him at the beginning of the game.) After that, no matter you win or not, you can proceed..The woman downstairs (which is your character's mother) act as the nurse in Pallet town. Charmander is a good choice when starting, because it is a fire pokemon and most pokemon are not very strong against fire. Choosing Squirtle might give you a problem when trying to defeat grass pokemon, but will help you a lot when battling against the first gym leader that uses rock pokemons. Bulbasaur will be a great help when fighting the second gym leader. He will choose the pokemon that is good against your pokemon (ex. if you choose Bulbasaur he will choose Charmander) To the North on your way to Veridian city, you will cross some small fields where many wild pokemon will challenge you. Along the way, talk to the people. One of them will give you a potion. There is a pokemon center where your pokemon can get treatments of their wounds. Now go to the pokemart. The cashier will give you an item to deliver to the prof. When the item is delivered, the professor will give you a "Pokedex" which will give you the information on the pokemon you caught and the picture of the pokemon you've seen. To get a town map, go to Gary's house (at the right of your own) and talk to his sister. Then proceed again to the North. These wild pokemons includes Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, and Nidoran (male and female)There is a pokemon center in every town, and in the it there is a computer that allows you to store pokemons and other tools. When you get to Veridian city, this time you are able to buy things at the pokemart. In order to catch pokemon, you will have to buy pokeballs from the shop. Make sure you buy some potions if you are a big fan of that. To the west of Veridian city is the way to the pokemon league (but until you've won all 8 badges, you won't get very far) and right after you've crossed the first field, you will see Gary again. There it will challenge you with pokemons at about level 8. So if you trained your pokemons to be above level 8, you will have a very big chance to win. After battling with Gary, you might want to walk a little more to the west, because there are a few more different pokemons around. To catch pokemons, you will have to weaken them with your own pokemon first, then throw a pokeball at it. And you can only carry 6 pokemon at a time.Remember that if you loose to a battle with a challenger or you as the challenger, you will loose half of your money, but if you win, you will gain some money. There is a gym in Veridian city, but at the moment it is empty. So you should proceed to the North. Thru the house, you will get to the Veridian Forest where many different bug pokemons are located. There is a man lying on the ground blocking your way, but he'll move when you talk to him. Look at the tree next to the man; it will give you a booster shot. There are also some challengers along the way too. There are 2 items (which looked like a ball) along the way, pick it up, this is a potion that will recover your pokemon for up to 20HP. The exit of the Veridian Forest to Pewter city is on the Northwest corner.It includes also Weedles, Kakunas, and some Pikachus.In Pewter city, you will meet the first pokemon gym leader Brock. He is a rock pokemon trainner, and carries two pokemons: Geodude Onyx: , So be sure that most of your pokemons are at level 13 or above, and remember that flying pokemons are not good against rock pokemon (but they are againstthe ground pokemon his trainer uses)! At the North of the city, there is a museum displaying fossils of extinct pokemons. Take a look if you want, but its reason for being will come up later. After defeating Brock you can proceed to the East of the city to Mt. Moon.Rock pokemons are weak against water, grass, ice, fighting and ground type pokemon (and if you are using Pikachu, don't even bother using any electric attacks, it won't work)On your way to Mt. Moon, there are quite a few challengers. Most of them used grass and poison pokemon so by some antidote before you go. There are also some fields with many Spearows, Jigglypuff and other pokemon along the way. There is a pokemon center right beside Mt. Moon. In it, there is a person that will sell you a level 5 Magikarp for $500, but you can also catch it with an old fishing rod, which you will get later on. In Mt. Moon, there are many different pokemon* to battle. There are also many challengers and items to pick up in there. When going the right, you will notice a stairway (stairway A) to a lower floor. Go up, and then to the left. There you will see stairway C. If you go down the stairs and to the left, where stairway D is, and go down again, you will see TM01. Now return to stairway C and go downwards and to your left. In the upper left corner, there is a Moon Stone, which will evolve some pokemons. There is also stairway E. Go down stairs and follow the path to stairway F. Now you can go down the steps and up the others again and walk along the way to where stairway G is. There are Zubats, and Geodudes in all versions, Clefairys and Paras. There are Teamrocket members all over Mt.moon!So power up your pokemons first. After battling with them you can go up stairway G, and then to the right to exit Mt. Moon. Just before reaching Cerulean city, there is TM14 a few bushes that have some pokemon* along the way. Make sure that you catch some, 'cuz you can't go back until quite a while. You will see a man standing in front of a cave, but don't bother trying to get there, because you can't until you defeat everyone in the pokemon league In Cerulean city, there is a bike shop, but don't bother trying to gain money and buy it now. The house above the bike shop have different purposes in different versions. In this city, you will have to face the gym leader, Misty. She is a water pokemon trainer, and she use 2 pokemons: Staryu, Starmie, After defeating her, proceed to the North of the city. There, you will, once again, have to battle with Gary and 15 other challengers. To the left, there are fields full of grass pokemons. To the right, you will find Bill the "Pokemaniac." You will have to follow his instructions to turn him back to a human. Then he will give you a ticket to go on to the St. Anne later on, and you can go check out his PC. After all this, go back to the city and to the house at the right top corner. Go in the house and out the back door, then follow the path downwards.There are some Ekans ( in the red version) and some other pokemons you've seen before Remember that electric pokemons and grass pokemons are good against water pokemon. Down the path, you will see three houses. One of them is a "Pokemon School." You will have to go across a few fields* before getting there. You can put your pokemon there and come back later to pay some fees to get it back. You will find your pokemon being powered up more if you leave it there longer. Another house, which is a little more southern, is a gate to Saffron city. You will find that Saffron city has gates all around it; therefore, at the moment, you can't get there. The only way out is to go into the third house and go downstairs to the tunnel. This tunnel will lead you to a field that's very near Vermillion city. In those fields, there are Abras and other pokemons, and some challengers. Head south to reach Vermillion city.
At the very south of Vermillion city, you will find a cruise. This is the St. Anne. There are many challengers on board, but don't defeat them all just yet. First you must find the captain, he will give you Hidden Machine (HM) 01 only if you haven't defeat all his passengers. Just before you enter his room, you will, again, meet and battle with Gary. Remember that once you got HM 01, and get out of the St. Anne, it will depart. So be sure you fought some of the passengers first! The 3rd gym is also located in this city. Before you get to fight Lt. Surge, the gym leader, you will have to solve a little puzzle first. This is an easy match since Surge only use 3 pokemon, Raichu pikachu voltorb, If you go to the house located on the farthest left of the pokemon center and talk to the man inside, he will give you an "Old Fishing Rod." Since the rod is "Old" you can only catch Magikarp with it. The house above and to the left of the gym has six people in it. Talk to the man in black and he will give you an exchange ticket. Now you can go back to Cerulean city's bike shop and give it to the store manager; he will give you a bike for free. HM 1 is a tree cutting ability. You can put it on grass pokemons (and I know it also works on Charmander and Sandshrew.) Remember one thing though, once a HM ability is put on a pokemon, you cannot get rid of it; therefore, my advise will be, "Just put it on one pokemon."To the East of Vermillion city, there is a cave. There are many Digeletts and a few Dugtrios in the cave. Out the cave, there is a tree. Cut it down and get the 2 items. Keep on going and you will see two houses. In the first house, talk to the baby, and he will trade a pokemon with you. In the second house, a man will give you HM 05. Now return to Cerulean city.Go thru the house on the upper right corner again, but this time proceed to the East instead of South. There will be a tree blocking the road, but this time you can cut it right down and keep going. To the east, thru many challengers, there is a pokemon center. Beside it, is a very dark cave. You can't see anything without HM 5, which is Flash. There are many pokemons, challengers, and items along the way. This is not a very complicated cave, so don't worry.There are Onyxs, Machops, Zubats and Geodudes. Outside the cave, there are some challengers. When you get thru them, you will find yourself in Lavender town. In this town, there is a pokemon tower, which contains ghost pokemon. But you won't be able to see them until you get a Silph Scope in Celadon city. There is, however, a house at the south of Lavender town which will let you change the name of your pokemon. Now proceed to the west of Lavender town. There is a field with many pokemon and many challengers there. There will be a house at the west end of the field with a tunnel as a basement. Go thru the tunnel and you will arrive at Celadon city.There are Mankeys, Pidgey, Oddish and Growlithe.There is a building at the middle-north with a back door. Go in from the back door go upstairs then to another room. In there, you can get a level 25 Evee. At Celadon city is where the 4th Gym is located. Here you will have to fight Erica; she is a grass pokemon trainner. she uses Tangler Victrebell Gloom, There is a huge shopping mall and a slot machine center. In order to play slots, you will have to go into the house at the south of the center and talk to the person in the upper left- hand corner. He will give you a coincase to put your coins in. Then go to the slot machine center and you can buy some coins. There are also people playing slots there; talk to them and you can collect up to 60 coins. At the upper right corner of the center, there is a guard. Battle with him so he will get out of the way. Now look at the picture on the wall. There, then, will a stairway appear. Go up stairs and you will now be in the team rocket gang's hiding place. There are quite a few challengers and items along the way to the boss. Fight the head of the gang and you will get a Silph Scope from him. In the shopping center, you can buy many things you can't in other pokemon shops. For example, you can buy leaf stone, fire stone, water stone and thunder stone to evolve some specific pokemons. There are also some medicines that will increase your pokemon's HP, attack, special, defense and speed. There is no way that you can proceed to the west, because there is a sleeping Snorlax in the way. So you will have to go back to Lavender town.With the Silph Scope in your pocket, you can see the ghost in the pokemon town in Lavender town. Enter the pokemon tower and you will meet Gary again; defeat him and go to the top floor. There a person will give you a pokemon flute. This flute can wake up a Snorlax. There are two Snorlaxes in this game, so if you want to collect all 151 pokemons be sure you catch at least one of them. One is blocking the west of Celadon city, and the other, is blocking the south of Lavender town. To wake them up, you will have to use the pokemon flute. And once you did, you will have to fight it. Snorlax is not a very tough pokemon, but it's sure hard to catch, because it can recover its HP by sleeping. Now there are two ways to go to Fushia city. You can either proceed to the south of Lavender town, or to the west of Celadon city. If you choose the path at the south of Lavender town you will be able to get a better fishing rod in a house along the way and to fish some water pokemon. If you choose to go to the west of Celadon city, you will be able to catch some other neat pokemon,but you will need a bike. Also that on the road that you see snorlax in Celadon city, there is a tree, cut it down and go thru the building, there is a person in the house that will give you HM 02, which is Fly. Use this on any flying pokemon, and you can fly to any pokemon centers you've ever been to. With is machine, you would want to go back to the museum in Pewter city. Cut down the tree there and go into the back room. Talk to the guys in there and one of them will give you the Old Amber. Both paths contain similar amount of challengers, and both are very challenging.There are many Horseas and Seadras to catch Personally, I recommend going thru both paths. You may want to consider to use the bike path to go to Fushia city, and the other for practice, because the bike path is not very good if you want to go from Fushia city back to Celadon city.The man in the house on the right of the pokemon center will give you the best fishing rod, and the one beside it will give you HM 04, which is a rock pushing ability. At the north of Fushia city is the Sarfari Zone. The admission fee is $500, this includes 500 steps and 30 sarfari zone pokeballs. So you might want to spend some time there, because there are many pokemons that you can't catch outside. And don't forget to bring your fishing rod, there are many Dratinis in the water. There is a house in the Sarfari Zone with many statues in the front. Go into that house and the man will give you HM 03, which is swimming ability.
The 5th gym is also located in Fushia city. In the gym, there are places that you can't walk thru, because there are invisible walls everywhere, but it's quite easy to figure out your way. After beating the Fushia gym, go back to Celadon city's shopping center. Go to the top floor and buy a drink. Carry it to the gate to Saffron city.There are two gyms in Saffron city. You will have to beat the gym leader on the left first. After you beat him, he will let you choose between a Hitmochan and a Hitmonlee. Then go to the big building located in the center of the city. This is another hideout of Team Rocket, you will met Gary again and will have to fight him too. Then talk to the guy in the same room, he'll give you a Lapras. Beat everyone, and when you get to the top, to the gang leader, beat him and you will be able to get a Master Ball from him. Be sure that you don't already have 20 items with you, otherwise, if you don't get the Master Ball you might be in deep trouble. Then go back to the gym on the right. You kind of have to guess your way thru the gym until you see Sabrina, the 6th gym leader. She is a psychic pokemon trainner and has 4 pokemons:Kadabra Mr. Mime Venomoth Alakazam. The tip for fighting this gym is to use regular attacks instead of special ones.Now you might concider going back to Cerulean city's pokemon center. If you could still remember, there is a water path at the north of the dark cave. Now that you have swimming ability, swim to the south and you will find a power plant there. Since many electric pokemons are gathered there, you might want to catch some before you have to deal with the water pokemons later on. The one and only one Zapdos: level 50 in the game is also located at the exit of the power plant. Go back to Fushia city, and swim to the south of the city, and remembber to carry a pokemon with rock pushing ability with you. Don't worry about the pokemons that bumps into you when you are swimming because most of them are only level 5. But there are 20 pokemon trainners along the way so watch out.* To the southwest you'll see a Saefoam Island. There is a cave that you'll have to find your way thru. There are many pokemons in there. You will see some rocks lying beside some holes. Push them in the hole so that you will be able to block the current of the water under the cave. This way you can get to Articuno: level 50. Keep in mind that there's only one Articuno in the whole game, so be sure to save before you play! After you found your way out of the cave, you might want to heal your pokemons either by going to the pokemon center in Fushia city, or your home. In my opinion, going back to Pallet Town is a better choice because it is closer to Cinnabar Island, and you don't have to go thru the cave again. *It will be best to carry a pokemon with either the ability to fly or teleport back to a pokemon center. If you start from Saefoam Island, you will just have to swim to the west. If you start from Pallet Town, swim to the south of the city, and you will arrive at the Cinnabar Island, where the 7th gym is located. There is a house on the very left of the pokemon center. There are a few pokemon trainers in this house that will trade pokemons with you. The furthest room is where you can find the scientist that will help you to turn your Old Amber and Dome or Helix Fossil into pokemon. Just give him your fossils or amber, and walk around for a bit, then go back there and he'll give you the pokemon. In order to get into the gym, you will have to go to the building on the top left corner of the island and find the keys. Gym leader Blaine uses fire pokemons.He owns:GrowlitheRapidashPonyta Arcanine. The ancient pokemons that he will give to you are both at level 30.Now you only have one more gym to go before you can enter the pokemon league. The 8th and the last gym is located in Veridian city. After you enter and defeat the trainer inside than go back to the pokemonleague and enter! You can now enter victory road. If you find your way through you can challenge the Elite4, if you fail you have to start all over! The first trainer is Loreli, she uses a dewgong, cloyster, slowbro, Jynx, and a Lapras. The second trainer is Bruno. he uses an onix, hitmonlee, hitmochan, onix, and a machamp. The third trainer is Agatha. she uses a gengar, golbat, haunter, arbok, and another gengar. the fourth trainer is lance. he uses a garadose, dragonair, dragonair, airodactle, and a dragonite. After him you face Gary. It depends on wich pokemon he piked that he'll use. If you defeat him the game is over and your pokemon get entered in the hall of fame! After the credits go to curelean city and enter the unkown dungeon and capture Mewtwo with the Master ball! After you capture all 150 go to the guy in pokemon mantion and he'll give you a certificate. Good Luck!
