Fuschia City (Soulbadge)
------------
You can see many trainers if you go to the shore, the meadow, or east of
the town. If you go east, and up, you will see a road leading to Lavender
Town. Another Snorlax is on this road, so if you couldn't get the first one
this is your only chance left to catch it. Go north, and you'll see a hut
where the person will give you the Super Rod. Even more north will let
you see that the city is connected to Lavender Town. Then go back to the
city.

Go north to the Safari Zone. You will get many items and unique Pokémon
here. You can fish for Dratinis here, as opposed to the 4600 coins (BLUE) /
2800 (RED) you need to pay for it in Celadon City. Lets see, 4600 coins
equal $ 92000, (unless you had a very good winning streak). 2800 coins is
cheaper, or $56000. Either way, I rather pay the $500 for entering the
Safari Zone, and I will still get more bang for the buck because I can
capture other rare Pokémon. If you find the secret house, you'll be
rewarded HM 03 (surf). If you give the Gold Teeth (also found there) and
give it to the warden, he will give you HM 04 (strength). Both of these are
crucial to the game. When SURF is used in battle, it is a good water
attack. STRENGTH is a very strong fighting attack. In the overworld, SURF
can be used by water Pokémon to travel on water while STRENGTH is used to
move boulders.

A list of Safari Zone Pokémon:
------------------------------
Nidoran(m) \
Nidoran(f) |____ Overall, a good chance to collect Nidorans.
Nidorino |
Nidorina /

Paras \_______ The only other place for these is Mt. Moon.
Parasect / So if you see one, get it.

Venonat \
Venomoth |_______ You can get them later, but why not?
Rhyhorn |
Doduo /

Chansey \
Kangashan |
Tauros |_______ The real "rare" Pokémon. You can only get them
Exeggute | here. Chanseys are also available in the Unknown
Pinser (BLUE) | Dungeon, but that is a long time later.
Scyther (RED) /

If you think you're ready after you pick up a few more Pokémon.
go challenge the boss Koga. His men are psychic Jugglers (who can call
back Pokémon at will) and animal Tamers (Robert Garcia rip-offs) and he
has Pokémon with skills of sleeping, paralyzing, and poisoning. If you
beat him you'll get TOXIC, a strong poison attack that will do more
damage with each additional poison hit. Now is the time to go through the
gate to Saffron City, which is between the other four cities on your Map.
Remember, give a drink to one of the guards.

In a house by the pond, you will get the Good Rod. It is the second
most effective rod. Why not fish in the lake?

Saffron City
------------
There are 2 Gyms in this city. In the gym on the left, you'll fight many
BLACKBELTS. Since they have fighting Pokémon, your best bet is to use
psychic Pokémon like Kadabra and Drowzee. Ghost Pokémon also works well
because they are immune to physical moves. As Tanya Sobchuk said, it is
actually possible to beat the two with a low-level ghost Pokémon!
The best blackbelt will use two pokemons against you, a Hitmonchan
and a Hitmonlee.

After the final boss in the gym, he knows you are stronger (YEAH!) and
you can get Hitmonlee, the kicker, or Hitmonchan, the puncher. The
other gym is blocked by a ROCKET though. You need to go to SILPH Company,
the biggest building in Saffron City, and defeat all Rocket Gang members
in it.

Silph Co. (Marshbadge)
---------
There are many Items and Rocket Gang members in here. You need to warp
around quite often. If you get the Card Key, you can move more freely and
get to the boss. After beating Gary (yes, he is here), a man will give you
Lapras. At the 11th floor, fight Giovanni (again) and if you win, you will
get the Master Ball. It has a 100% chance of catching. Now you have a
choice at this point... either waste it on some arbitary Pokémon, or use
it on crucial one-time Pokémon including: The Legendary Birds, Snorlax,
and Mewtwo. The Birds are Lv.50 each and are very powerful in their own
element, the Snorlax are Lv. 30 and are quite good, while Mewtwo is "THE"
perfect Pokémon and starts at Lv. 70.

- According to common belief, the Legendary Birds can only be caught by -
-the Master Ball. This is WRONG, period. I have personally caught Articuno-
-today single-handed after catching Motres with the Master Ball. So, it -
-is possible to get all three Birds without it! -
- -
- Of course, it is also near impossible. I had to use my Gengar to make -
-the bird SLEEP, DREAM EATER and NIGHT SHADE it like 7 times, and trying -
-3 times with an Ultra Ball. -

Back to the city. Now you can enter Sabrina's Gym and fight her for the
Marshbadge. There are Psychics and Channelers here, and you also need to
warp around often. Watch out for psychic Pokémon and use bug or ghost
Pokémon against them. She will give you PSYWAVE after the battle, a
psychic attack.

A girl living in a house to the left will trade TM31 for a Poke Doll.
It contains MIMIC.

Power Plant (optional)
-----------
Cross the water by Cerulean City and SURF down and around to the Power
Plant. There are lots of Electric Pokémon here. You can get Pikachus(!!),
Raichus(!!!), Voltorbs, Magnemites, and Electrabuzzes (RED). (some
Voltorbs are hidden as Poke Balls, they are Lv. 40 each! There is also an
Lv.41 Electrode masquerating as a Poke Ball) Near the end is Zapdos, the
Legendary Electric Bird.

Seafoam Islands (optional)
---------------
Cross the water after you get to Fuschia City. Many Water Pokémon live
here, (Seels, Shellders, Krabbys, Psyducks, etc.) You'll need STRENGTH
and SURF. This is where Articuno, the Legendary Ice Bird is.

Krabby's are pretty good. About the level in which they become Kinglers,
they will learn the powerful 1-hit KO GILLOTINE move!

Cinnabar Island (Volcanobadge)
---------------
South of Pallet Town is Cinnabar Island. Enter the Pokémon Laboratory
and get some new Pokémon. Depending on what fossil you got in Mt. Moon,
you can get Kabuto or Omanyte. You can also get Aerodactyl if you picked
up the Old Amber in Pewter City's museum. Three people there will trade
your Raichu for an Electrode, your Venonat for a Tangela, or your Ponyta
for a Seel. Non of these are too important, but they can rack up experience
quickly since they are traded Pokémon.

There is a Pokémon Mansion here with puzzles involving switches. Behind a
pillar on the first level is the final piece of the Moon Stone. Read
the text to find out about the mysterious Mewtwo Pokémon. Here you can get
Grime, Muk, Koffing, Ponyta, Vulpix (BLUE), Magmar, etc. You will
also get a key for the gym. The gym leader, a mad scientist named Blaine,
uses fire Pokémon. Water works very well on them. If you win he will give
you a very powerful fire attack (FIRE BLAST), and the seventh badge. Now
you only have one more Gym left...

(Drakk told me that Magmar was in BLUE, but very rare. Thanks man!)

Viridian City (Earthbadge)
-------------
Here is the final Gym... (the Gym was locked before) The boss is non other
than... Giovanni! He wants to use this place to get more ROCKET members
and start anew! Are you going to let him? No! He has a variety of good
Pokémon. After beating him, go west to the Pokémon League HQ. Gary will
be on the road again, challenging you for the final(?) time.

Pokémon League HQ
-----------------
Very large building. You can get Dittos, Rhyhorns, and some other good
Pokémon here. You also need all 8 badges so the guards will let you pass.
If you see a door, you have reached the...

Victory Road
------------
To pass here you will need the move STRENGTH, all the
skills, and best Pokémon you have. There are TOUGH Pokémon here (Lv. 40
Marowaks, Lv. 40 Venoats, etc.) and very skilled trainers. This is where
you will also find Moltres, the Legendary Fire Bird. There are a lot of
puzzles, and by the end you will probably be VERY worn-out, but still
wondering how come Gary was again one step ahead of you, as explained by
the people in the cave.

Indigo Plateau
--------------
This is a Poké Center and a Poké Mart. Get all the things you need, pick
your best 6 Pokémon, and go though the door at the top to fight the Elite
Four, a group of the most powerful trainers ever. All their Pokémon are
over lv. 50, so be prepared for some good fights.

Personally, my best team against this (all well-trained, of course) are
Articuno, Pikachu(!!), Blastoise, Hypno with HYPNOSIS/DREAM EATER combo,
(or Mewtwo) and TWO back-up powerhouses for the last two slots. I like this
form because:

1. Every Pokémon in the bosses' inventory will have some weakness against
at least one of these. The only one without some weakness is the
Alakazam. According to most of the lists in the net, they are weak
against ghosts and bugs. Well, ghosts seemed to actually be weak
when facing physics, because their Night Shade doesn't do much while
the PSYBEAM/PSYCHIC does super damage in return! And if I put in a
bug, it won't be able to handle any other Pokémon except the grass
Pokémon, and I don't want to "waste" any of the team members by only
letting it fight twice. I thought about using a Venomat, but it
will interfere with the other Psychic's Job.

2. These will either be well-trained, or will start out at high-levels.
Who wouldn't want to train Pikachus and your beginning Pokémon? The
bird and Mewtwo well already start at levels almost equivlent to the
Elite Four's.

3. It is flexible, because there is actually 2 spaces for whatever you
want (especially against psychic Pokémon because non of the Pokémon
actually works SUPER against them). You can add in a ghost for defense
if Bruno's fighters gets rough (they can't TOUCH you. I mean really),
you can add in a fighter to pound some heavily-defended Pokémon as
hard as you can, add in a Dragon because of their general effective-
ness (you will NEVER read "it is not that effective" for a dragon
attack), or you can just add in another strong Pokémon from an element
in which you are weak (such as a back-up fire Pokémon, or a ground
Pokémon).

Or, the best of them all, a weak Pokémon you want to train! Just put
it at the front of the line, call it after every match, and switch to
another Pokémon. This way, it will gain experience for every battle
you fight! My Far'fetched gained 25 levels this way in one trip through
the ELITE FOUR!

4. Each Pokémon is not wasted.

Blastoise: Bruno(2), Lance(1), ???BOSS???(2)
Pikachu: Lorelei(5), Agatha(1), ???BOSS???(1) (Told you Pikachu
would come in handy. Pikachu handles 8 Pokémon by itself!)
Articuno: Lance(4), ???BOSS???(1)
Psy. Pkmn: Bruno(3), Agatha(4), ???BOSS??? (1) (8 Pokémon, and psychics
are good against just about anything else.)

Basically, two of them handle 5 each and the other two handle 8 each. If
any of them gets tired (especially the ones who handle 8), you should
switch to a backup Pokémon with SUPER damage against their enemies.

Now, the roster.

The first, Lorelei has a group of ice Pokémon. (Pikachu can dish out SUPER
damage, it can take on all five one-by-one) She starts with a Lv. 54
Dewgong, secondly a Lv. 53 Cloyester, then a Lv. 54 Slowbro. A Jynx
(Lv. 56) follows the battle, and finishes off with a Lv. 56 Lapras.

The second man (Bruno) has rock / fighting Pokémon. To be exact, he starts
off with a Lv. 53 Onix. After that, he switches off to fighting and gets
out a Lv. 55 Hitmonchan and then a Lv. 55 Hitmonlee. After the fighting duo,
he gets a Lv. 56 Onix and finally his ace card, the Lv. 58 Machamp. Bring
a water and a psychic/ghost Pokémon for this. (I suggest A Blastoise for
rocks and a Hypno/Mewtwo for the fighters)

The third lady (Agatha) has mind-controllers at her control, kicking off
with a Lv. 56 Gengar. Then, a Lv. 56 Golbat will try to CONFUSE you into
submission. A lighter challenge (Lv. 55 Haunter) comes in afterwards. You
might think she ran out of good Pokémon, but a Lv. 58 Arbok comes out next,
followed by a Lv. 60 Gengar. (Your Hypno, if you use my plan, will make
these fights very easy. Pikachu can also take on the Golbat) Remember,
she is one of the only trainers who can call back Pokémon at will.

The forth man (Lance) has awesome Dragons to fight you. He said he trained
for a long time, no wonder he starts off with a Lv. 58 Gyrados! A pair of
Lv. 56 Dragonairs follows the fight. A Lv. 60 Aerodatcytl next (I guess he
was at the lab too). Finally, he brings out his long-trained and VERY hard-
to-get Lv. 62 Dragonite! One word... watch out for HYPER BEAM! (Pikachu
can beat the Gyrados easily. As for the dragons, use Articuno if you have
it. It can go ahead and take on all four. The Aerodacytl is another good
target for Blastoise.)

After 4 long, hard battles, you will realize that another had already
defeated the Elite Four! Who is it? Why.. it is Gary! After he tells you of
his ambition, you fight his 6 strong Pokémon with what is left of your
six. He starts with a Lv. 61 Pidgeot, which is easy to defeat.
(Another small-fry for Pikachu) Then he calls an Lv. 59 Alakazam, (pound
with everything you got) followed by a Rhydon. (Use the Blastoise to
full effect) He finishes off with Pokémon of fire, water, and plant types
with them being Lv. 61, Lv. 63, and the last being Lv. 65 (his first pick
in the game). His plant choice is Exegguter, his Fire Choice is Arcanine, and his water choice is Gyrados. They will come out in dimuting power order
(Water-Fire-Plant. Fire-Plant-Water, or Plant-Fire Water). (Blastoise
gets the fire, Pikachu gets the water, and Hypno/Mewtwo for the plant) If
you manage to defeat him in this climatic and difficult battle, be
prepared for the ending of Pokémon!
---------------
Unknown Dungeon
---------------

After you have beaten the Pokémon League, go back to Cerulean City.
northwest of Cerulean City in a cave is Mewtwo, the best Pokémon there is
(# 150). He is at lv. 70 and is at the end of a long way in the cave.
There are Lv. 50s Pokémon from everywhere (Venomoths, Chanseys, Kadabras, Raichus(!!!), Magnitons, Marowaks, Hypnos, etc.). It is possible to catch
Mewtwo without the Master Ball, but it is hard. He is no pushover and will
do a lot of damage against you. He has Swift, Psychic, Recover,
and Barrier at his command. Which means 2 attacks (one fast and one
powerful) and two defenses (one for healing and one for defense), making
him a balanced and powerful Pokémon.
