Gold and Silver Walkthrough-Part 1 - Pokemon - http://maxpages.com/pokecheatmeet/Gold_and_Silver

1

When you first turn on your game, you should be greeted by the beautiful color intro. Much nicer than the previous incarnations. After that, if it is a new game, a small box will appear at the top. Click the first option to start a new game.

Then, set the clock. First, select the hour. Then, select the minute. This sets the internal clock which effects the type of Pokémon you catch and other timed events.

Now, the intro will play much like the previous versions. When Oak asks for your name, you can select the preprogrammed names or make your own (the first option in the name screen). If you don't speak Japanese, it might be wise to choose a name that you can recognize. Such as "!!!!!!"or I like to make words in English from Japanese characters that look like English letters. This way, you'll know when someone is talking about you.

After you select your name, you are transported to your room. Walk downstairs, talk to your mother, and make your way to the big building next door. This is where professor Utsugii resides. Once you talk to him, he will allow you to choose which Pokémon to get. You can choose between Waninoko, a water alligator Pokémon, Hinoarashi, a fire anteater type Pokémon, and Chikolita, a grass type Pokémon. I chose Chikolita because of its grass type attacks and because it's pretty itty cutey...*ahem* Moving on...

Professor Utsugii will tell you to go and find another professor in a cottage to the west. Leave the building and got to the west and out of town. You might want to skip on the battles with wild Pokémon for now since the nearest Poké Center is in the next town. Keep going west until you find the next town. There you can heal any Poké wounds and buy some healing potions for burn and poison. You can also buy some potions.

Next, you can either take a tour of the town by talking to the old man standing at the front gate , who'll give you a map for your Pokéwatch (very useful), or you can skip the exploration and get to the main mission, to find Prof. Oak. From the center of town, go north until you find the second cottage. Inside, talk to the man to the east of the room, he's prof. Oak. He will talk and run out of the cottage in a hurry. Leave the cottage and return to the first town, the one where you first started. On your way from the second town, you will be forced to fight the mysterious red haired person that was standing outside the first professor's building. Apparently he has the opposite starting Pokémon as you. It should be a fairly easy battle, just keep up with the tackle attacks until his Pokémon is down. Once you whoop him, he'll run away, much like Gary. Continue out of the town and go to the Professor Utsugii's building in the first town and there will be a scene where officer Jenny (I presume) is talking to professor Utsugii. Something has happened and the other Pokéball of Utsugii's is missing, strangely, it's the ball that the red haired guy had.

After you talk to Utsugii, exit the office. On your way out. the professor's assistant should stop you and aid you with 5 Pokéballs. Now, you are ready to catch Pokémon and your journey begins! Exit the town and on the path just outside the town, a boy will stop you and teach you how to catch Pokémon much like the old man did in the Red/Blue versions.

Make your way to the next town to the west and go north. Now, you can go on the route that was previously blocked by two dueling trainers. Here, you'll find one of the best and underrated Pokémon around, Caterpie. Though it may not seem very tough, once you train it and evolve it into butterfree it will be an invaluable asset to a new trainer.

As you make your way past a number of bug trainers, all wanting to challenge you upon sight, you should break way and find a cave. It's too dark to go in and you won't be able to go far in it unless you have both flash and strength. Instead, go west and enter the town. There, you should heal your wounds and start training up your Pokémon if they are below Lv. 10. If you caught a caterpie, it should have evolved into a metapod by now and with a little more training, it should evolve at level 12 and learn Psychic. If you have Chikolita, it should have learned a powerful attack much like razor leaf and by level 12 it will learn barrier.

Once your Pokémon are well prepared, you might want to invest in some potions which you can get at the store.

Finally, you can challenge the Kikyou city Gym leader Hayato residing near the Pokémon center. You will have to beat the two trainers before you can challenge Hayato. The first trainer uses a level 9 spearow and the second trainer uses 2 level 7 pidgeys. He's fairly easy to beat if your Pokémon are trained enough, in fact, he's about as hard as the two trainers. He only uses a level 7 Pidgey and a level 9 Pigeotto. Mainly, use your strongest attacks like razor leaf and if you have Butterfree, use psychic for an easy victory. Once you defeat him, you will gain your first badge, TM 31 and $900.

You can go to the Poké center and talk to the guy at the counter who looks like the professor's assistant. He'll give you an egg that for now will not be able to fight or do anything. Now that you have defeated Hayato and collected the egg, you can go up north of the town to the temple. Inside, you will find 6 trainers and wild ratattas. The trainers all use level 3 bellsprouts and are easy victories. Make your way to the top floor of the temple. You will find many items along your way to the top including awakens, potions, and escape ropes. Once you arrive to the top and final floor, make your way past the final trainers. Once there, you will see the red haired kid talking to the temple leader and the red haired kid will escape. After that, the temple leader will fight you. He mainly uses bellsprouts and is fairly easy. After you beat him, he will give you HM5, flash. You can go ahead and equip flash to a Pokémon now if you want. I used it on the new owl Pokémon Hoo Hoo, so that I wouldn't take up a valuable space on one of my good Pokémon's attack list.

:Side quest: This side quest offers a little amount of challenge and the rewards are good. If you go west, past the gym, and go past the check-in station, you should reach a mini town with some caves. Go to the cave furthest north. Enter the cave and you will find a small alter like contraption. Step in it and press A. You should be playing some sort of ancient puzzle. Basically, just make the puzzle look like a Kabuto.

Once completed, the floor should open up and you should be dropped below. If you're having trouble making the puzzle complete, make sure the two bottom middle pieces are in the right position. After dropping to the cave floor below, you will encounter a strange and mysterious Pokémon called Enon. It takes many forms, but it is the same Pokémon. You can catch one of them or just escape the cave to come back later. Exit the mini town and continue on your quest. :End Side quest:

Now, go west, past the gym and right before the shop. Take the path below and take the right hand shoulder path. You will have to fight off some trainers and some wild Pokémon hiding in the brush, but continue down south. After a while, you should reach the Poké center. Enter the Poké center and talk to the man standing near the counter, in the hat . He will give you his old pole. Above the Poké center, you will find a lake where you can use your newly acquired fishing pole to capture a magikarp and other Pokémon. Once you are done, continue south until you reach a dead end.

Enter the cave to the left. Inside you will find numerous trainers and some wild sandshrews, onixs and zubats. You can also find defensive up and TM39. Continue south and fight the last trainer at the exit. You will now be at another town called Hiwada. Go west, passed the open well blocked by a Team Rocket agent and enter town to rest. Your egg that you have been carrying around in your Pokémon line-up should hatch and Togepi is born. Though a bit weak, he has a wicked metronome spell that can K.O. any opponent in one blow. It might be wise to start training him.

After you are refreshed, go to the house to the right of the Pokémon center and talk to the guy sitting on a pillow . He will talk briefly then run from the room. Now, make your way east from the house and enter the well that was previously blocked off. Follow the path in the underground caverns until you find two slowpokes and two Team Rocket members. Fight off each of them and the man from the house will come and talk to you. You will then fade off and fade in at his house. For your reward, he will give you a Pokéball that helps capture water Pokémon.

You might want to heal your Pokémon because the upcoming gym leader is fairly hard. Once you are ready, go to the gym in the center of town. There, after fighting some trainers, you will encounter the leader Tsukushi . Her first two Pokémon are a breeze. She uses a level 14 Metapod and Kakuna and a level 16 scyther. The scyther is the toughest in her arsenal. His slash moves are particularly harmful. Just keep up the attacks and you should be able to defeat her. Once defeated, she will hand over her badge and TM49 (slash) and the ability to use cut, which you'll get soon enough. You can also control Pokémon up to level 30! Time to go back and rest up.

You will encounter the red haired kid again. He uses a level 12 Gastly, a level 14 zubat and a level 16 Pokémon that is the opposite of your starting Pokémon. For example, in my case, it was Hinoarashi. He is fairly difficult, but if you have well developed Pokémon, you should be able to defeat him.

Go west of the Pokémon center and enter the check-in station. Once passed, you should now have entered a dark forest. Make your way around until you find a bird . Talk to it and it will fly away. Keep following and talking to it until it brings you to two people. Talk to the guy on the left and he will give you HM1 (cut). Now you can cut down bushes like the one blocking the path. Once you have taught cut to one of your Pokémon, you can cut the bush blocking the path and access the rest of the trail. Follow it up where you can talk to a kid to get TM 2 or just continue past until you get to to the building. There, you can get TM 12 from the girl sitting with the butterfree. Continue north into town.

It is a maze shaped city called Kogame city. You can get a bicycle from the bike shop to the left of the Pokémon shop or go to an underground tunnel to the left of the Pokémon center. In that underground passageway, you can acquire a coin purse so you can gamble at the slot machines in the town. You will find a tower to the upper right of the town. If you enter and talk to the lady with the green hair at the counter of the first floor . She asks you questions and you have to answer them correctly. After some trial and error, I think the pattern is, 1st option, 1st option, 1st option, 2nd option, 1st option, 2nd option. After that, you can access radio stations on you watch!

There is also a breeding center in town.

To breed, you need to capture a male and female of one specie with the same sign in their pokedex entry (dittos are wild cards). Give one to the old man and one to the old woman. Then, start walking. After about 800 steps, go back to the building. The old man should be gone. Go out back and talk to him. He will give you an egg. After about 5,000 steps, it should hatch! You can get new pokémon this way. If you breed two pikachus, you can get a Pichu!

You should also buy a soda from the top floor of the Pokéshop for further use. This is a great place to raise your Pokémon's levels and earn some cash by challenging the trainers hanging around. Once you are rested and stocked up, you can head north to the gym to challenge the gym leader.

She is called Akane . Once you enter the gym, you will find it sort of maze like. Follow the trail around and fight off the trainers until you come upon a red haired girl . She will not provoke you for an attack, instead, you have to talk to her first. She has a level 18 Jigglypuff and the pink cow aptly named milktank. Jigglypuff is fairly easy and should be defeated in only a few moves, but don't be fooled by milktank's appearance. It has some nasty attacks and it will replenish its HP with a bottle of milk when low. It might take a while, but keep up a strong offence and it should be defeated. After you win, she will talk to you, when you check your badge index, you will notice that she has not given you her badge. Talk to the blue haired girl below Akane and then talk to Akane again. This time, she will hand you the badge and TM45!

Now that you've gotten your badge, it's time to move on, but not before one thing. Make sure that you get the item from the woman who lives to the right of the gym. She will be standing by a chair. Talk to her and she will give you an item. Once you have obtained it, go north in the city. Keep going north, past the two check-in stations until you reach a park. You can either fight the roaming trainers for money or go to the mid right section where, you'll find another check-in station. Pass through the check-in station and make your way to the right, past the two trainers and find a small pathway leading north. You'll see that the path is blocked by a strange bush that you can't cut. You might want to save your game now.

Inspect the bush with the A button. It will bring up a dialogue box and then an option. Choose the first option, which uses the potion the woman gave you. The bush will awaken and will reveal itself to be a level 20 Utsokii, a grass Pokémon. It is easy to beat with brute force using your starting Pokémon's best attack. Catching it however, is another story. If you have a butterfree, use psychic attack to knock away around 18% of it's life bar. If you don't have butterfree, try different attacks, but no poisons or confusions, you'll end up accidentally knocking it out it. Once you have its life bar whittled down to a thin slice, try to put it to sleep. Then, use a Pokéball. If you don't put it to sleep, it has a better chance of breaking out and thus you lose more Pokéballs. If you stick with it, you should be able to capture it and it's a very good and strong Pokémon. Its rockslide attack is very powerful. Much like snorlax, it is rare.

After you are done, you should go to the right and find a man in a blue shirt . He will give you TM8. While it doesn't seem like much, this is like an HM except that you can use it once, this will allow you to break the cracked rocks once you have equipped it to a Pokémon in your line-up. After that, head back left and then continue up the way until you reach town after a couple trainers. There, you will find the fourth gym.

You don't have to fight him right now, there are plenty of places to raise your Pokémon's level and some tasks that you must do to progress in the game. Right behind the Pokémon center, you will find a house, enter it. Once inside, you will find a stage with around five kabuki actors. They are all eevee trainers, some even have the two new evolutions of it! You must fight and win every one of them. Then, when you have beaten them all, you should see a man in the center aisle with blue hair and a black hat . Talk to him and he will give you HM 3, Surf. This is why it is crucial that you talk to everyone multiple times. They often give you important items. On that note, go to the house to the right of the gym. Once there, talk to the man inside and he will give you an Item Finder . This is useful to find because it will help you find helpful items like ethers. After that, head north in the city, until you find a multistoried temple. Once inside, you will encounter your red haired arch nemesis. He's been raising his Pokémon and offers some new surprises. A level 20 Haunter, a level 18 magemite, a level 20 zubat, and a level 21 Hinoarashi. Though tough, you should be victorious, if not, refine your battle plan, raise your Pokémon and try again. Once you have defeated him, you can smash the cracked rocks blocking two pathways. Take the right one first, cahallenge the trainer, collect the Pokéball, and go to the right path. Fight the trainer there, collect the Pokéball, then fall down the small square hole in the floor, near the center of the room. You should find yourself standing in front of what look like Pokémon statues. As you draw closer, they will turn from gray to different colors and scamper away. You cannot catch them. Simply head south and take the ladder back to the first floor and exit the temple. When you feel you are trained enough, you should challenge the leader. Just make sure you have a Pokémon that is good against ghosts before even trying.

Make sure you rest your Pokémon up before challenging him. Once you enter the gym, you will most likely fall through the gray floor once or twice. There is a hidden pathway. You can look at the pic below for the path or follow these instructions. First walk up through the two Pokéball columns. You will be challenged by a trainer. Defeat him and line up with the right Pokéball column. Continue up until you reach the old woman who will challenge you. Then, go left until you are just before where the old man is standing. Go north and face him. Then go east until you are just before where the old woman is standing. Go north to face her then keep going north until you reach the gym leader.

The gym leader Matsuba is pretty hard if you don't have the right Pokémon. Once again, having butterfrees psychic attack will make things a LOT easier. If you have been depending on your starting Pokémon, then I hope you like getting yer arse whooped. Mainly, the trainers use mid-teen gastlys and haunters. Matsuba follows their lead and uses a level 21 gastly and haunter, a level 23 haunter and a level 25 gengar. The first three are pretty much a breeze. If you knock about half of their life with an attack, they'll finish themselves off by preparing for an attack which takes of around 1/2 of their HP. Gengar is a tough one though. You might want to use one Pokémon for all attacks and when it gets knocked out, switch to a high leveled Pokémon that doesn't do much against a gengar to use revives and high potions, then switch between them as needed. Watch out though, gengar has a life sucking attack that will do mucho damage against you while refilling his life bar. If you're lucky, you'll get a couple free shots as gengar waits for his move. In time, you should beat him though and acquire the 4th badge, the ability to control Pokémon up to level 50, and TM30, a ghost attack.
