Pallet Town
(Youre in your bedroom) Go to the computer and access your PC,
get the potion and get downstairs. Go outside, now go to the very
north, you should see some grass looking areas, go onto it, before
you get far, Prof. Oak will stop you and lead you to his lab. Hell
let you choose a pokemon, choose a pokeball. I recommend
squirtle or bulbasaur, but anyone is fine. Before you get out of the
lab, Gary will challenge you to your first match, just keep on
using the first move. If you win, you get some money, if you lose,
Gary gets the bragging rights. One more thing, your pokemon
will grow to level 6 if you win.
Route 1
Now that you have a pokemon, go on to the bush in the north and
find fights, get your pokemon to level 10. If your pokemon faint,
youll be back in your house, talk to your mom and go back onto
route 1. Make your way through the route, talk to anybody you
see, one guy will give you a free potion, another will tell you a
"faster" way to get home.
Viridian City
Go directly up and right to that first building (with a "poke" sign
on it) and go inside, go up and talk to the nurse behind the
counter (yes, its a nurse, whistle!) shell offer to heal your
pokemon, select heal. Now go northeast to the pokemart (with a
"mart" sign), youll receive Prof. Oaks Parcel. Go back to Pallet
town, picking fights as you go (get your pokemon to level 11).
Pallet Town
Go back into Oaks lab and talk to him, hell give you and Gary
each a pokedex. Now go into Garys house and get a towns map,
despite what Gary said, his sister will still give you map.
Route 1
Now get your pokemon to level 12. Go into Viridian City.
Viridian City
Now heal your pokemon. Get a potion and 6 pokeballs at the
pokemart, youll need them later. Go back to route 1.
Route 1
Capture a pidgey and raise it to level 10, capture a rattata and
raise it to level 7 (it should have learned quick attack). Your
pokemon should be around level 12 or above, above would be
great. Go back to Viridian City.
Route 2
Switch your pidgey as your leading pokemon (or if you have a
charmander put that into the lead). Now go north into Viridian
Forest. (Dont forget to heal your pokemon at the Viridian poke
center first)
Viridian City
Go to the poke center and heal your pokemon, go up and stop
when you see an old man. Go left and youll see a broccoli like
bush. Press A and youll find a secret potion. Now go north to the
Viridian Forest.
Viridian Forest (Pokemon catching spree)
Now with a level 10 pidgey leading, the pokemon you started with
at level 13, and a level 8 rattata (you wont be using this much,
only to catch some pokemon) youre ready for the forest. Note: if
you got a charmander, put that in front. Immediately go up and
turn right into that bush of grass. Now you can find a the 2
caterpillar pokemon (caterpie and weedle), and most importantly,
a pikachu! Pika, Pika (sorry, I just had to do it). There're only a
few pikachus in either version, youll just have to have patience.
Use this chance to build up your other pokemon, oh, one other
thing, use pidgey against bug type pokemon, but not against
pikachu, NEVER use a flying pokemon on an electric one. You
can use a charmander against both bug and pikachu. Try to get
your pidgey to level 12 (if you have a charmander, get that to level
15 and keep your pidgey at level 10). Fight with a caterpie until
level 12 (itll evolve twice), fight with a weedle until level 10 (itll
also evolve twice). Remember to go back to Viridian City if you
need medical help. When youve found a pikachu (took me a
while) capture it and go back to Viridian City to heal all your
pokemon, plus build your pikachu up to a reasonable level 10,
just fight pidgeys, itll be a synch. Note: your beedrill should be
on level 10.
Viridian Forest (getting through the forest)
At the entrance, head northwest to find a pokeball. Go back to the
entrance and go right again, follow the path to find a bug catcher
trainer, it should be no problem if you have a level 12 butterfree
and a 12 pidgey (charmander). Use the butterfree against weedle
and the pidgey (charmander) against caterpie. Go up the grass
bush, youll be challenged by another bug trainer. Go up and get
the antidote, remember if your monster have fainted or has really
bad/low health (what I mean by bad is situations like poisend,
etc.), go back to the Viridian City poke center. Use potions and
antidotes only if you really must. Keep on going, follow the road
as it zigzags through the forest. Keep on going until you reach
another fork in the road, you should be facing south when you
encounter it. Go right and down to find another potion. From
there make your way to the northwest. Theres another bug trainer
in your way but its nothing you cant handle. Go north and exit.
Note: you should have 5 pokemons, a level 13 starting pokemon
(15 if you got charmander), a level 12 pidgey (10 if you got a
charmander), a level 10 pikachu, a level 12 butterfree, and a level
10 beedrill (store the beedrill in the PC).
Pewter City
Instead of going to Brock, go heal your pokemon and go back to
Viridian City instead, and from there, make your way west of
town.
Route 22
Try and find both nidorans and a spearow, dont waste your
efforts finding a nidorn female if you cant find one, now go north
west, and then, huh? Why did we stop???
Gary
I missed Gary here my first trip, use your pikachu against his
pidgey, use the butterfree if he chose bulbasaur, pikachu if he
chose squirtle, or any pokemon against charmander (it has not
learned ember). Note: if you use a bulbasaur against charmander,
use leech seed and tackle, not vine whip.
Route 23
The guard at the gate wont let you through, so lets get the badges
shall we? Go back through the forest to Pewter City.
Pewter City
Heal your pokemons. Now put an bulbasaur or squirtle (level 12
or 13) in front and head into the pewter city gym. Youll win very
quickly with bubbles and water gun if you have squirtle, or vine
whip if you have bulbasaur. Brock will give you the boulder badge
and TM 34, which teaches bide (I wouldnt use this, Id just sell it
it). Note: if you dont have a squirtle or bulbasaur, a level 15
charmander is your best bet, keep a butterfree with confusion
with you though, because you might need it to back up
charmander. After you finish Brock, go and buy 4 or 5 pokeballs
at the pokemart. Heal your pokemons and head northwest to the
museum. Talk to everyone, youll be able to fix the clues together
later. Go right from the entrance to the museum and youll find
another bush looking thing, cut it later when you get HM 01 and
go inside, youll find a scientist who will give you Old Amber. Oh,
1 more thing, get an escape rope, youll need it pretty soon.
Brock
Brock has a level 12 Geodude and a level 14 Onix, a squirtle
(wartortle) or bulbasaur (ivysaur) would fare best against these
guys, if you picked a charmander at the beginning, build it up to
level 13 or above, be sure to have a lot of potions. Youll need a
level 12 butterfree to back charmander up, I found out my self,
the hard way.
Route 3
Ah, nothing like a scent of fresh air as we step outside, its time to
set out on foot again. Note: before you go on route 3, get your
pikachu to level 13. There are several trainers on route 3, nothing
you cant handle. Just follow this formula: use pidgey (or
charmander) against caterpies and grass pokemons, you can also
use them against weedles and kakunas but Id let my butterfree
fight against the poisen pokemon instead, pikachu against flying
pokemons or water, butterfree against poisen pokemon and the
pokemon you chose at the beginning against the rest. Capture a
jigglypuff on the way. Build your pikachu up to level 16, practice
experience on spearows and pidgeys. After a long walk, we come
to the entrance of Mt. Moon. Heal your pokemons at the
pokecenter right next to the entrance and enter Mt. Moon. (Store
jigglypuff into someones PC)
Mt. Moon
Put a pikachu in the lead for zubats, if a trainer sends out a rock
type pokemon, send out wartortle or ivysaur, if they send out a
plant or bug pokemon, use pidgey (or charmander, I wouldnt
evolve charmander until level 38). Note: if you have a charmander
instead, then capture a clefairy and teach it water gun (TM 12).
Be sure you also capture a geodude (get it to level 16 if you chose
bulbasaur at the beginning) and a paras before you are out of
there. Oh and by the way, use the escape rope you bought to get
out of Mt. Moon if youre in trouble.
Walk through for items: (entrance) go up and left, youll face your
first trainer (hopefully, no wild pokemon bothers you). After
defeating him, go and get the potion to the left, then go down, you
should see another item, its TM 12 (water gun, you wont be
needing this for quite a long time, unless you have squirtle or
charmander, if you have a squirtle, sell it, if you have a
charmander, either keep it for later or use it now on clefairy).
Now go east, youll be challenged again. Follow the trail up and
right, go through the ladder on the right, follow the road to
another ladder, as soon as you walk out of that ladder, youll find
your first team rocket member and a HP UP on the stairs. Go
back up to the main floor when you finish the rocket. Go south
and youll be challenged yet again, getting fun isnt it? Go
southwest from there to find yet another potion. Go east and youll
find some rare candy (raises one of your pokemons level by one)
go up north to get an escape rope. Be sure to challenge that
trainer you passed. Go up north and face yet another trainer,
switch your pidgey/butterfree/charmander into the leading
pokemon before you challenge her (Id go with butterfree, youll
need a level 17 butterfree as soon as you exit Cerulean City). Then
go left and then down into another ladder, follow the road to
another and challenge the team rocket member, remember to
swap your pokemons back before the challenge. Get TM 01 (mega
punch) and go back to the main floor. Face another trainer to the
south of you. To the left is another one guarding a ladder. Be sure
to get the moon stone on the top left corner before going down the
ladder. When youve entered the ladder, follow the trail to another
rocket, beware of this one, I had a pretty hard time with him. After
you beat the rocket, go back up the OTHER side and follow the
road, youll find some clefairies here, challenge another rocket
member and then a greedy little man. Choose a fossil, doesnt
matter which fossil you get, they are both good. From there, head
west. Go down through the ladder and another one and youre
home free, thank goodness!
Route 4
After that long, (cough, cough) long walk, were heading towards
Cerulean City. Be sure to pick up TM 04 (whirlwind) and do
something with it, I think its useless, so I sold it. Capture a
sandshrew or an ekans, depending on your version. Your pikachu
should be at level 22 (dont fight ground type pokemon like
sandshrews with pikachu). Jump over the hedge on the east and
head towards Cerulean City.
Cerulean City
Heal your pokemon and buy some more pokeballs, deposit all the
TMs and escape ropes you didnt use and use your rare candy
and HP UP on a pokemon. Deposit your rattata too, if you havent
already. Also store the moonstone into your PC too. Head for the
Gym, right next to the pokecenter. If you have a level 22 pikachu,
itll be a very short fight, just use thunder shock.
Cerulean City Gym
You can tell that these guys love water, theyve transferred the gym
into a pool!!! Youll face 2 lieutenants before you meet Misty.
Misty
Misty has a level 18 staryu and a level 21 starmie, bulbsaur or
pikachu, or any other plant or electric type pokemon would do.
Do not use fire, what ever you do. The cascade badge and TM 11
are your rewards for defeating her.
Bike Shop
After defeating Misty, the road to the north will open up, but first
visit the bike shop on the southwest corner. They sell bikes for the
cheap price of $1,000,000 dollars? 5,000 times the price of my
bike, but of course, nothing is cheap here, a pokeball, a ball costs
$200.
