CAUTION
Do not connect the Game Link Cable to a Game Boy system
containing a different language version of Pokémon. Doing so
may cause the loss of your saved game data.

How come the man on Cinnabar Island says the Raichu I traded
him evolved?
There is no way to get Raichu to evolve. This is a misprint in the
game.

I have been hearing about some new Pokémon called Pikablue,
Pokegods, Etc. Where can I find them?
Due to the popularity of Pokémon, many rumors have surfaced on
the internet about this game. There are only 151 Pokémon in the
game, and only 150 of those can be found. The 151st Pokémon is
Mew and can only be put on the game by someone who won it in a
Nintendo Power contest. Remember that most of the rumors on
the internet are just that: rumors.

How do I capture Mew?

Mew is the 151st Pokémon. However, he cannot be found or
caught in the U.S. version. The only way we know of to get him is
to win the contest in Pokémon Power Issue 6 in Volume 116
(January 1999) of Nintendo Power (it's too late to enter). It's
possible there will be other similar contests in the future.

Some players try to access Mew using unlicensed devices like the
Game Shark. These accessories are not licensed or approved, we
don't recommend using them and we don't support them. The
Mew players get using such a product is not the same as the one
they get from the real data--it won't have the same power or
capabilities, and the game may experience problems that only
erasing the saved data would solve.

You can recognize licensed products by the Official Nintendo
Seal of Quality on their packaging.

Can I trade US Pokémon with the Japanese Pokémon?
No, the US version and Japanese version of Pokémon are not
compatible.

What does "Area Unknown" mean in my Pokédex?
That means that there is no known location to find that Pokémon,
it may have to be evolved from another Pokémon. See specific
Pokémon information for details.

After getting a badge, the trainer told me that I can use
Flash/Cut/etc. How do I use it?
You must first find the related HM.

How can I get more money after defeating all of the other
trainers?
You can get more money by using Pay Day in battle.

What is the difference between the Red version and Blue version?
The only difference is what Pokémon you can find in the game.
The story, bosses, item locations, and gameplay are all identical
in both versions.

This is a listing of the wild Pokémon that can only be captured on
their respective paks:

Blue Red
Bellsprout Arbok
Magmar Arcanine
Meowth Electabuzz
Ninetales Ekans
Persian Gloom
Pinsir Growlithe
Sandshrew Mankey
Sandslash Oddish
Victreebell Primeape
Vulpix Scyther

How many Pokémon can I get without trading with anyone? How
many are on one game pak?
The maximum number of Pokémon available on one color of
game pak is 139, however, four of these must be traded to another
gamepak (of either color) in order to change into its next form.
This maximum number also includes all of the Pokémon that
must be chosen, for instance: In the beginning of the game, you
must choose between three different Pokémon. All three of these
Pokémon are included in the number even though you can only
pick one of them.

What happens when you get all 150 Pokémon/ Where is #151
(Myuu)?
There are 150 Pokémon total. Myuu has not been found in the
U.S. version. When you get all 150 Pokémon, you are awarded a
diploma from one of the programmers in Celadon City and that is
all.

I fought a (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Snorlax) why
won't he fight me again?
You only have one chance (or two in the case of Snorlax) to defeat
and capture these Pokémon.

When I try to attack with my Pokémon, it just ignores me. Why
won't my Pokémon Obey me?
That Pokémon's level is too high for you to control it. Until you
get the corresponding Badge for its level, you will not be able to
control it.

How can I catch another trainer's Pokémon?
You cannot catch another trainer's Pokémon. You can only catch
a Pokémon you have encountered in the wild.

Can I stop my Pokémon from evolving? Will they be able to evolve
later?
Yes, just press the B Button while they are changing to stop the
evolution. As the character continues to gain levels, they will
attempt to evolve again.

What is the difference between normal and boosted experience?
Only traded Pokémon will gain boosted experience. They get
about one and a half times the experience a normal Pokémon
would get. Traded Pokémon grow faster, but they are weaker.

What difference does the Pokémon type make?
The most important thing about a Pokémon is their attack types.
The key to defeating any Pokémon is using an attack of the type
that it is weak against. For instance: A Fire Pokémon will be
strong against Ice attacks, but it will be weak against Water
attacks. If you attack another Pokémon with the type of attack that
they are weak against, you will do more damage.

It is possible for a Pokémon to be two Types at the same time, if
this is so, they will have the weaknesses of both and the strengths
of both if they have learned both kinds of attacks.

Does the level 100 code from the Japanese version work in the US
version?
No. We do not know of any codes for the U.S. version.

How can I win more money at the Game Corner (Casino)?
The slot machines in the Game Corner have different odds.
Experiment with them to see which one pays out the most
frequently, and stick with it.

What does the little Pokeball next to a Pokémon in the Pokédex
mean? Why does the game say I own more than I have?
It represents the fact that you have had a particular Pokémon in
your possession, either by capturing it or by evolving a different
Pokémon. It does not necessarily mean that you currently have
access to that Pokémon.

Why does my screen keep flashing while I am walking around?
One of your Pokémon has been either poisoned, burned, or
frozen. To fix this, you must return to a Pokémon Center and heal
them, or give them an appropriate cure for what ails them. If you
do not heal them, they will keep being damaged and eventually
faint.

Who is this guy that rates my nicknames? How do I change the
nickname of a Pokémon?
You can speak to the official name rater in the bottom middle
building in Lavender Town and he will sometimes allow you to
change the name of a Pokémon. You will not always be allowed to
change the name though.

How come this man won't let me walk past?
If you go to the top of Viridian City, there will be a cranky old
man who will not let you pass. This is another of the RPG
elements of the game. In order to get past this man, you must give
the package to Prof Oak and get the Pokédex. Once you have the
Pokédex, if you return to this old man, he will now let you pass.
