Route 10
After exiting the rock tunnel, youll need to defeat a few more trainers before you can reach lavender town. Theres a bush on the very north east of the route, go to it and press A to find a secret ether, which replenishes your pokemons abilities PP.
Lavender Town
Go to the pokecenter and pokemart and go west (dont visit any other place except for the name rater just yet).
Route 8
There are several trainers here, capture a vupix/growlithe and store it in the PC. Go into the little house at the end and go through the underground path.
Route 7
Go northwest to reach Celadon City, you might also consider gaining some experience in the field of grass nearby.
Celadon City
Before you go to the poke center, go up and then left. When you see an opening go up and left and down, keep on going on to the stairs and go into that little lab house thingie to get a very rare pokemon called eevee, evolve it into a Flareon if you have not chosen a charmander. Now visit the pokecenter, do not visit the gym until you have a level 31 Flareon/29 butterfree.
Celadon City Gym
Theres a peeping tom outside of it, its a wonder why, the gym is full of girls, after you get through 10 or so, you face Erika.
Vs. Erika
Erikas got 3 grass type pokemon, a level 29 Victreebell, a level 24 Tangela, and a level 29 Vileplum (unless you take out vileplum with the first it, youll be in for quite a while). Flareon or Charizard will wipe them out faster than you can say, good bye. Defeat her and to get the rainbow badge and TM 21 (Mega Drain).
Celadon City Department Store
Go into the elevator and go to the top floor, then go up the stairs to reach the roof, theres a vending machine nearby, get 2 waters, a lemonade, and a soda pop, give 1 of each type of drink to the little girl, shell give you TM 13, TM 48, and TM 49. Now buy some great balls, some revives and some paralyze heal. Also buy a pokedoll, a thunder stone, a firestone (if you have a vulpix blue version or eevee red version, if you have charmander dont worry about it), and a leafstone (if you have weepinbell or gloom, dont worry about this if you have a venusaur instead). Note: get 2 thunderstones if you are crazy about a Jolteon, like my friend Robert is.
Game Corner
Talk to the guy at the very top. After you defeat him, go to the poster and press A. A secret door to the right of you will open up. Go in.
Surviving Team Rockets Secret basement
As soon as you get in, seek out the 2 trainers around you, be sure to get the escape rope to the southwest of where you started from, then return to where you were at the beginning and go down the stairs on the right side. Go west and youll be challenged. Now go upwards and down the stairs, go south to get the TM 10. Make your way through the maze of the "arrows". Go down the ladder at the very end. Now, that youre at the 4th basement, its time for the lift key, go northwest and defeat the rocket, talk to him after, youll get the lift key, make your way back to the second basement, get the 4 items while breaking through the second maze, go up the ladder and get the hyper potion at the northwest corner, go back down the stairs and then go into the elevator, go to floor B4, after the elevator stops, go th the soutwest and get the iron, now defeat the 2 trainers that you passed and talk to the black suited man holding the silph scope.
Vs. Giovanni
Giovanni has 2 ground type pokemon, including a ryhornand an onix, he also has a kangaskhan, a team of water/grass and fighting pokemon will fit perfectly, use the water/grass pokemon against the ground pokemon, and the fighting pokemon against the kangaskhan.
Celadon City
Go east to 7, be sure you have the bottle of water with you, go into the guard house leading to Saffron City, After you get into Saffron City, go north to the Fighting Dojo Gym, (the one to the left), put a Kadabra in front, choose a fighting pokemon after you beat everyone, I chose Hitmonchan after experimenting with both. Head east to Lavender Town.
Lavender Town
Go into that big tower.
Pokemon Tower
Before you can do much, the annoying voice strikes again.
Vs. Gary
He includes a Kadabra, the pokemon he started with, Pidgeotto, a water/fire/grass pokemon, and another water/grass/fire pokemon, depending on what he chose at the beginning. The only pokemon you should have problems with is the Kadabra.
Pokemon Tower
Make you way to the vert top of the tower, put a Kadabra at the top to fight the ghosts, itll be very effective because not only is it fighting a ghost, its also fighting a poisen pokemon. Get the 7 items along the way. At the sixth floor, youll meet a Marowak, you cant capture this ground type pokemon, so youll have to make it faint, use a water or grass pokemon to fight against it, use the same types to fight against cubones, youll face 3 rockets at the seventh floor, defeat them and rescure old mr. Fuji, hell give you a pokeflute
Saffron City
Go to the center of the city and into the big building
Silph. Co
Use the elevator to get to the 5th floor, go to the very south and get the card key, if your pokemon need experience, seek every rocket/scientist/juggler there are in the building, but if you want to end this quickly, then go to the 3rd floor and go southwest, open the gate with the card key, go in and step on to the tile, and hey! Havent you learned to leave me alone Gary????
Vs. Gary
Hes got a pidgeot, alakazam, and some other pokemon in between levels 35-39, backed up by a level 40 starting pokemon.
Saving the Day
Talk to the guy nearby to receive a Lapras, step on the tile at the bottom, defeat the rocket in your way, if you need mediacal help, go to the southwest corner on the 9th floor. Anyway, as soon as you open the door with the card key, out comes Giovanni.
Vs. Giovanni
Hes got 4 pokemon this time, including a Nidorino, Rhyhorn, Kangaskhan, Nidoqueen, use your Kadabra against the poisen pokemon, a water or grass pokemon against Rhyhorn, and a fighting pokemon against the Kangaskhan.
The Master Ball
Talk to the president, hell give you the master ball, theres only 1 like it in the game, like they say, save it for a very special pokemon.
Mr.Psychics House
At the southeast corner of the city, hell give you TM 29, which teaches psychic
.
Copycats House
To the very northwest of the city, at the second story, be sure you have a pokedoll with you, if you do, copycat will give you TM 31, which teaches mimic.
Saffron City Gym
Step on the first warp tile and keep on stepping on the tile that s above or below you to get to the next room, sooner or later youll get to a large room with a girl in it, this is Sabrina.
Vs. Sabrina
Sabrina has a level 38 Kadabra, a level 37 Mr. Mime, a level 38 Venomoth, and a level 43 Alakazam. I had a hard time with Sabrina using Blastoise, so I switched to Dugtrio and kept on using earthquake, be sure to have a lot of potions, if you have a Charizard, get it to level 45 and keep on using slash, itll finish them with 2 or 3 strikes each (might be more with Kadabra or Alakazam because of their move recover), if you have Venasaur, keep on using razor leaf, except on Venomoth, on which you should use Flareon instead. When youve beaten Sabrina, youll get the soul badge and TM 46, which teaches Psywave.
Routes 12-15
After getting your 5th badge, head back to Lavender Town, then head south, be sure to pick up the super rod on route 12, youll see some grass fields, you can capture pidgeottos, oddishs (red version), glooms (red version), bellsprouts (blue), weepinbells (blue), venonats, and dittos. Dont forget to get TM 20 and iron, also a little gift from Oaks aid. There are lots of bikers (poisen pokemon), and bird catchers (the name say it) around here too, easy if you have a well trained pikachu and a well trained kadabra/dugtrio. Oh, and by the way, if you try to capture the Snorlax, save before you do it.
Fushia City
The city is really a maze itself, to reach the pokecenter and the gym, youll have to head to the west of the city, not out of it, and follow the little path leading south, visit the gym right after the pokecenter.
Fushia City Gym
If you look closely at the screen, youll see tiny dotted lines. This is the invisible wall, go around it and finally reach koga. There will be a few trainers, I had problems with Hypno, took about 60 HP from me with 2 headbutts. Funny that this gym calls themselves ninja trainers, they train psychic and poisen Pokémon, maybe they should try out for Sabrinas gym instead.
Vs. Koga
Koga is at the very middle of the gym, he will send out two level 37 Coffing, a level 39 Muk, and a level 43 Weezing. A Kadabra/Alakazam or a Dugtrio will make this a pretty short fight. Beat him, the soul badge and TM 06 (toxic) is yours.
Safari Zone
Its at the very north of the city, there will be at least 15 spieces of different pokemon including both Nidorins, Nidorino, Nidorina, Kangaskan, Chansey, Rhyhorn, Exeggcute, Venonat, Venomoth, Paras, Parasect, Scyther (red), Pinsir (Blue), Tauros, and Doduo. Youll also find the wardens gold teeth and HM 03, which teaches surf. Give warden his gold teeth and hell award you with HM 04 which teaches strenghth, so you you can move, say, that boulder in the wardens house? Get some ultra balls at the pokemart too.
Routes 16-18
Capture a Raticate and a Fearow on the way, before you go to Cycing Road, head west of Fushia City, now step south, youll find a Lickitung. If you need a "break" with your fingers and your bike, press B to stop. If you have already gotten rid of or have captured the snorlax in the way, then cut the bush blocking the way north. Now keep on going west, youll see a little house with a girl inside, talk to her and hell give you HM 02, which teaches fly (go back to any city youve visited already). Head towards Cerulean City now.
Cerulean City
Be sure to have a pokemon with surf and a pokemon who has fly with you, head east towards Rock Tunnel. Before Rock Tunnel, head towards the edge of the river to the north and dive into the water using surf, keep on paddling towards the south until you reach a big building, this is the power plant.
The Power Plant
Put a dugtrio in front. Be sure to get a magnemite and a magneton if you can, also, try to get an electabuzz if you have the red version. Make your way through, getting the rare candy, carbos, HP UP, and TM 33/TM 25, be careful, lots of the items on the floor are actually level 40 voltorbs. At the near end of the power plant youll come across a bird looking Pokemon
..
Vs. Zapdos
Save before you meet this guy, you should not have any problems with Zapdos, just get his energy down and throw ultra balls at it, it took me 2 tries to get him, I think he is the easiest out of the 3 legendary birds. Exit and fly back to Fushia City.
Sea Route 19
Head south of Fushia City. There are lots of trainers here, but no problems for you. Keep on heading south west until you reach an island with 2 cave entrances, go into the one that you can.
Seafoam Islands
As you are descending through the levels, push the boulders into the pit, the idea is to block the river below so that you dont get washed away. At the 3rd level, push 2 boulders down to the 4th level, jump in after them. Youll land in the water, head north until you see Articuno, another bird.
Vs. Articuno
I had problems with this guy, I got its health all the way down, but I always miss with my ultra ball, took me about 10 ultra balls before I caught him.
Sea Route 20
After you get out of the islands, head west and youll reach Cinnibar Island. The gym is locked, wonder if theres a key
..
Cinnibar Island
Go to the pokecenter (located in the south) and the pokemart (right beside the pokecenter). Withdraw the fossil and Old Amber, give it to the Scientist in the 3rd door at the Pokemon Lab (southwest corner of the island). Now head to Pokemon Mansion (northwest corner).
Pokemon Mansion
Flip on switches inside statues as you make your way up. At he 3rd floor, flip on the switch at the statue and head south, jump off the ledge in the middle. Defeat a nearby trainer and head northeast, the secret key, however, is at the western section, so youll have to make your west, when youve gotten the secret key, dig out of there. Go to the pokemon gym.
Cinnibar City Gym
Youll have to challenge trainers to open doors, after a while, youll see old man Blaine.
Vs. Blaine
Blaines pokemon are pretty hot stuff, but you can take care of them with a water or rock pokemon. He has a level 42 Growlithe, a level 47 Arcaine, a level 40 Ponyta, and a level 42 Rapidash. After you defeat him, youll be awarded with the volcano badge and TM 38, which teaches fire blast.
Sea Route 21
Head north of Cinnibar Island and use surf, go all the way back to Viridian City, put a water or grass pokemon in front and head into the gym, you know, the one that you couldnt go into before.
Viridian City Gym
This is just like the game corner, with all the arrow pointing things, go on the one to the north, and make your way to the 8th trainer, and its
Vs. ????????
Giovanni!!! Giovanni??? The leader of Team Rocket? Whod thought, a team of grass and water pokemon, will make this a short fight. Talk to Giovanni after you beat he and receive the earth badge and TM 27 (Fissure), hell disband Team Rocket and dedicate his studies to the world of pokemon
Route 22
Weve been on this route before, and um, oh no, not again
Vs. Gary
You think hed learned his lesson already, but noooooo, he starts off with a Pidgeot, then an Alakazam, and a Rhydon after that, he finishes it off with the pokemon he started out with.
Route 23
If you have all 8 badges, youll get to an entrance at the end, this is victory road.
Victory Road
Youll find Moltres, among machokes and marowaks, in the range of Lv40-Lv50. Push boulders onto the little round things to open up passages. To reach moltres, youll have to get to the third floor first, then you will have to go down through the ladder at the northwestern corner of the 3rd floor. To get out, youll first have to move a boulder onto the switch at the southern part of the second floor, then go up the stairs on the right and keep on going right.
Vs. Moltres
This guy is as easy as Zapdos, get his energy down to a minimum and throw ultra balls at it.
Indigo Plateau
This is the last place to heal your pokemon and to stock up on items. Save before you enter the door to the elite 4. There is no going back after you enter.
The Elite 4
Vs. Lorelei
With the exception of Jynx, use thunderbolt with Raichu, if your Raichu is just at level 50, use thunder. Use a fire pokemon against Jynx.
Vs. Bruno
Arguably the easiest of the elite 4, he has 2 onixes and 3 other fighting pokemon. Use a flying or psychic pokemon against the fighting pokemon and water or grass against the onixes.
Vs. Agatha
They say that she wields ghost pokemon, I say she wields poisen pokemon, 1 or 2 psychic attacks will send them to the afterlife.
Vs. Lance
If you had raised Articuno a few levels, its ice beam will make losers of Lances Dragons, use a Raichu against Gyrados and Aerodactyl.
Well we find out that someone has reached the elite 4 before us, and it is none other than
Vs. ????
Gary!!! He starts off with a pidgeot (raichu), then alakazam (use fissure with dugtrio), then rhydon (water or grass pokemon). Now, the last 3 pokemon veries, if he chose a bulbasaur at the beginning, hell have gyrados (raichu), arcanine (water pokemon), and venusaur (fire pokemon). If he started off with a squirtle, hell have an arcanine (water pokemon), exeggutor (fire pokemon), and blastoise (raichu). If he started off with charmander, hell have an exeggutor (fire pokemon), gyrados (raichu), and charizard (water pokemon)
Congratulations, youve beaten Gary!!! You are now the undisputed Pokemon Master!!! Professor Oak inducts you and your pokemon into the hall of fame!!!
The Unknown Dungeon
Head towards route 24 (north of Cerulean City), jump into the water to the south and start swimming until you reach the entrance, be sure to have the master ball with you, there are many Pokemon in here. At the basement, you will meet Mewtwo, throw the master ball at it. Good luck!!! |
