Currently it is only available in Japanese, so working things out is difficult, but I have tried my best to put as much info here as I can. I hope it is of some use to you. Hopefully you should be ready for it's release into English, and be able to catch 'em all. :) 1.2 Revision History 1.8 - Extra information on Bulbasaur - how to get it (rumour), plus Ivysaur and Venusaur tidbits - Charizard info under Charmander - More on the release date (US) (1.4) - Updates from 1.5 down were removed (space) - Corrected some info on trainers and such in the cartoon (why?) - Changed 1.3 - Moved this and that around, shortened some waffle, added some contributor blurb. (Note: 1.7 was actually available.... for one day. Only at my site! Worth over £200 to collectors! (Yeah right, even I don't keep old versions)) 1.7 - Many Pokemon locations added. (2.16) - 2.8.1 Can you cath 150 Pokemon, altered (should be at least 145, possibly less) - 2.17: Someone says that it's a lie. - 2.2 Oops, Misty and Brock look different also. - Bulbasaur: Just when CAN you get it? 1.6 - 2.13 e) Pikachu; getting another? - 2.7 Somewhat arrogant remark added. (g) - Began huge quest to include Pokemon locations (2.16) - 3.1: Mew has now been semi confirmed. - 3.2.1 Another way you can help me, BEAT DOWN ON PLAGIRISM! - New place added to download this guide from - Important, possibly game shattering rumour about trading/battling via link cable! (2.17) - To make some space, updates from 1.3 down were removed. (This version was never available at my own site. (Falls over)) 1.3 Will this guide still exist upon the US release? Yes, I have decided, thanks to great feedback, that I will continue to update this FAQ upon US release if I can. Anyone else who creates an FAQ will basically give the same info. But we (myself and contributors) got there first. All that will need to be changed will be knowing what the questions are that get you Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, and stuff like that. Not so tough! Stuff like 1.4 will probably be removed though. 1.4 The US release The most recent release date I have received for the US release is...... October 30th. WHAT? Sigh. Blue and Red will be released in the UK earlier than that! Oh well, at least, quote the Jarvis: It'll be Gameboy Colour enhanced!!!! 2.0 CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS POKEMON EDITIONS 2.1 Intro Instead of Jigglypuff/Nidoran and Snorlax/Gengar (is it?) battling, you get to see a darkened Pokemon running at you on all fours. As it gets closer, you realise it's PIKACHU! During this various clips are shown of him doing a flying kick, riding a surfboard, flying on balloons, and then it shows him close up, and his cheeks start to spark, and then he lets rip with a Giant thundershock! The title screen then comes on, which is Pikachu saying something in Japanese. It has new music too, sounds similar to the casino in Celadon City. Much better intro. -LocoRaichu writes to say that Pikachu is saying, interestingly enough, "Pikachuu" on the title screen. ((Smacks head)) I should pay more attention to the TV show. 2.2 Graphics EVERY Pokemon in the Pokédex has been redrawn. They ALL look a LOT better too, with the exception of Magikarp, who now looks as lame as he actually is. Some of them are shown at my website (www.jedah.force9.co.uk/TeamRocket.html) and others may be available on request. Also, Gary changes art throughout the game. Not the sprite onscreen, but the picture of him during a battle. There are three different drawings. Brock too is different (i.e. he is wearing a shirt), and Misty also looks similar to the show (the shirt with the straps on, no bathing suit for her anymore). 2.3 Starting Pokemon Instead of choosing between Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur at the beginning, Professor Oak stops you at the grass (you get to move one step further too. Ooooh :) ) and then captures a Pikachu! He brings it back to his lab and then lets you have it! As for Gary (your rival) if you look at the Pokeball on the desk, he shoves you out of the way and takes it. It's an Eevee! Then you fight. Later in the game, after battling Gary 3 times more, when you face him in the Silph Co. Building, his Eevee will have evolved into one of it's three other forms (Flareon in my case). Whether or not his choice of Pokemon change based on what Eevee he plans on getting is unknown. The team Gary faced me with at the end of the game was: Sandslash, Alkazam, Exeggutor, Magneton, Cloyster, Flareon. 2.4 Pikachu Pika-pi! Of course, the game is mostly about Pikachu now, so of course he has new stuff! 2.4.1 Talking to Pikachu Pikachu follows you around on the map! Unless he fainted. You can talk to him at any time, bringing up a picture of his face, showing if he is happy or sad. If happy, sprite on the main screen will jump up and down, REALLY fast if super happy! If really upset he will turn around and not look at you! When he sees Bill The Pokemaniac as a Pokemon, question marks appear over his head! And when you go to the Pokemon meeting in Vermillion City, love hearts appear when he sees the other Pokemon! 2.4.2 Pikachu's Moves Pikachu learns new moves! Chief amongst them is Thunderbolt, which he gets at level 26. Here is the list of his moves: -Thundershock -Growl Pikachu starts with these 2. LV.6 Tail Whip LV.8 Thunderwave LV.11 Quick Attack LV.15 Double Team LV.20 Slam LV.26 Thunderbolt LV.34 Agility LV.41Thunder LV.50 Light Screen NOTE: PIKACHU CANNOT LEARN SURF. I feel I must apologise here. I did not try it, merely I took the word of two people who wrote in saying he could. I tried it when someone emailed me saying they couldn't. Pikachu cannot Surf. I apologise for not trying it myself. From now on, I will test everything before adding it as fact. 2.4.3 Thunder Stone Pikachu will NOT use the Thunderstone! Thus leaving this question: How the heck do you get a Raichu? (There are no Pikachu in the game besides the one you start with). Just as on the cartoon; Pikachu chose not to evolve, deciding it would fight Raichu for the honour of Pikachus everywhere. And it whupped ass too. 2.5 Team Rocket Yes, it's true, Team Rocket appear in the game! I'm talking Jessie and James here! Just as you are about to leave Mt. Moon they come running over and battle you! They fight with Ekans, Meowth and Koffing! After you beat them they dissappear, like Giovanni. You meet them three times more, in the Casino/Rocket base (just before Giovanni), Lavender Tower (you beat them to save Mr. Fuji, and they have Arbok and Weezing now! (But still just Meowth :) ) And finally the Silph co. Building, just before Giovanni). And yes, just like the cartoon, they are easily beaten! 2.6. Anything different during the game 2.6.1 Nurse Joy Nurse Joy is at every Pokemon Centre, with her Chansey! 2.6.2 Pokemon sprites Chansey has been redrawn in it's pen at Fuschia City (sigh, you didn't really need to know that one). Also there is an Oddish sprite and a Sandshrew, and a Bulbasaur. The last three are all in a house in Cerulean City. 2.6.3 Officer Jenny Officer Jenny is in Vermillion City. 2.6.4 Two Pikachus? The hut at the bottom of Fuschia City, inside, there is a Pikachu walking around! 2.6.5 Computer Options/Boxes There are some new options on the computer system, but I have no idea what they are saying. -Brian Bruening wrote to say you only get 8 boxes on the PC. He's right, however, he also adds that the boxes may store up to 40 Pokemon, or, at least the first one does. Well, I have noticed that the game saves much faster when you "change box." And yes, I have had more than 20 per box. Not sure how many though. 2.6.6 Trading The people you trade with are generally asking for different things in this game. For example, I think the old man in the lab at Cinnabar Islands trades Rhydon for Golduck (I AM NOT CERTAIN THOUGH) 2.6.7 Pokemon learn moves faster? Brian Bruening wrote to say that he thinks Pokemon learn things faster, as well as new things. I'm not sure about anyone besides Pikachu learning new moves, but, I have noticed Pokemon learn skills faster. Butterfree for example gets confusion as soon as it evolves, rather than level 12! It gets all it's other skills faster too! Jeez, how much of an advantage does a Poke Yellow player have over the others?? 2.6.8 Casino Brian Bruening (yup, again) says that, although he doesn't know which Pokemon you can get at the Celadon Exchange (a problem we all share), they are the most expensive prices of any colour! Sheesh! - Using my limited ability to translate, I have found out what the Pokemon are for sale: Scyther 6500 Pinsir 6500 (Taking a guess) Porygon 9999 Vulpix 1000 (The only place you can get it?) Abra 230 Wigglytuff 2680 2.6.9 JIGGLYPUFF! Being one of Jigglypuff's greatest fans, I can't believe I forgot to add this, but Cait Sith supplies the good. If you talk to Jigglypuff in the Pokemon Centre at the Pewter City Gym, she sings her lullabye! To the correct tune! And then if you talk to Pikachu, he is asleep! PUFFFFFF!!! 2.6.10 Old Man In Viridian City You know the old guy who blocks your path or something? The guy who shows you how to use a Pokeball? (We'll just ignore Professor Oak using one earlier...) Instead of trying to get Weedle and failing, this time he tries to get Rattatta and he succeeds! Sometimes, anyway. 2.7 Missing Pokemon To ensure that Pokemon Yellow offers no distinct advantage over the previous versions/colours (yeah right, you can get Charmander, Bulbasaur AND Squirtle?? O--k, fair...), 11 Pokémon are unattainable again. Although I can't be certain at this time, here are my guesses as to which ones they are (note there are 13, so at least 2 of these must be wrong, or perhaps not....): Weedle (None in Viridian Forest or anywhere else, but many "Bug Catchers" have them) Kakuna (again, many bug catchers have them) Beedrill (One of the Bug Catchers near Cerulean City has two of them though) Jynx (though Lorelei of the Elite Four has one. The original place for the trade has been replaced by the "Bulbasaur House.") Raichu: Using the Thunderstone on Pikachu does NOT WORK. He will not take it! And since there are No other Pikachus in the game besides your starting one...... ?? (Lt. Surge has one) Electabuzz Magmar Ekans (No nest on map, unable to find. Jessie has one :) ) Arbok Meowth (No nest on map, unable to find. Team Rocket have one :) ) Persian Koffing (No nest on map. Unable to find. James has one :) ) Weezing If you have found any of these then please tell me which and where, and I will update. NOTE: If you are going to email me to tell me how to find them, DO NOT BOTHER if you are going to say "Trade them from a friend." DUH! It's pretty obvious you'll have to do that for some!!! That's the point of it! I've had FIFTEEN people give me that answer! NO MORE! (No doubt some smart-asses will try it now though) I'd say that not being able to get Ekans, Koffing and Meowth is definite (since the game follows the cartoon more so than the others, and they are the villain Pokemon). Jynx probably does exist to trade still, but I can't find it. Electabuzz and Magmar are likely removed to make up for both Scyther and Pinsir (if you remember, Magmar and Pinsir are in the blue game, Scyther and Electabuzz in thr red.). That would leave Raichu as the other possible collectable... leaving the question of how in the hell? :) 2.8 Extra Pokemon in this version I do not mean brand new Pokemon (see the upcoming Silver or Gold, and the cartoon for Togepi :) ), but I mean certain Pokemon you could only get one or the other of in the previous versions. a) Scyther and Pinsir BOTH are in this version :) Both can be found in the same area in the Safari Zone. b) Charmander After Nugget Bridge, there is a man standing on a raised bit of land. If you talk to him (don't ask me what he's saying though) he'll ask you something. Choose the top answer and you get a Charmander! - Charizard can now learn fly (HM02). Seems right. - Maybe the guy is Damien from "Charmander, The Stray Pokemon." c) Squirtle In Vermillion City, after the trip on the St. Anne, talk to Officer Jenny and she'll ask you something. Choose the top again and you'll get a Squirtle! - Brian Bruening says you have to beat Lt. Surge first. Confirmed. I tried today. - This seem to have nothing to do with "Here comes The Squirtle Squad." There's only one of them! d) Bulbasaur In Cerulean City, there is a house with an Oddish, a Sandshrew and a lady stood next to what looks like a Bulbasaur. Talk to her, and when you have to choose, choose the top answer..... then when you have to choose again, do the same. You get Bulbasaur!! - Brian Bruening says you must get the Cascade Badge first. But about 50 people have written in saying that this is not true. Since I got it after finishing the game... I have no idea when the specific time is that you can then go and get it (unless it is finishing the game). Little help here? - Animal 88 says that you have to get Squirtle and then take it to her. She says something about Squirtle, and then you get the question. - Wesley sez that Ivysaur loses a lot of speed from Bulbasaur, but gains a lot more attack. When it becomes Venusaur, defense falls but attack greatly rises. - I think this might be something similar to the episode "Bulbasaur and The Hidden Village." Melanie could be the girl. After all, there is an Oddish present. e) The four "Tradies" (Gengar, Golem, Alkazam, Machamp) They are available within the game! Or.... so I have heard. Somewhere people trade you wither something for them, or something for their "previous form" (example, someone trades you a Graveler, and it then evolves to Golem because it has been traded). Recently I found Machamp! i) Machamp - In the tunnel that goes between Vermillion and Cerulean, in the north entrance, a kid trades you Machoke if you give him Cubone.... but what? When traded, Machoke evolves! You got yourself a Machamp!!! f) Psyduck - Thanks go out to KazK MM for this. Just north of Vermillion City, in the grassy area where there are trainers, there is a pond, and if you surf on it for a while, you get to fight a Psyduck! Psy-ai-ai! g) Farfetch'd - Thanks to Kazk MM again. South of the hut where you get the Good Rod, there are two grassy areas. In the southern most one (you have to go into the bizarre maze on the left and "cut" through a plant to get to this grassy area), about one in 15 encounters ia a Farfetch'd! You can get them in the wild! Far-far- fetch'd! h) Shellder - Icebrand originally wrote me to say that this Pokemon was unattainable. However, KazK MM writes to say that if you fish with the Super Rod along the cycling road, you can get a Shellder! I checked, and confirmed, you can. 2.8.1 Can you catch 150 Pokemon? Regardless of how many of the Pokemon on the list turn out to be catchable, even if you can get all 150, you can't "get" all 150. I count 145 minimum as the very most you can get (without trading with a friend): a) You still can onlu have one of the Hitmon's from the karate dojo: Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan b) You can still only get either Omanyte or Kabuto (thus only Omastar or Kabutops) c) You only get one Eevee, hence one evolution, so you can;t get the other two. Hoeever, you can SEE two evolutions if you do it right (remember Gary has one.). Of course, look on Bill's computer and you see all three anyway. And then there are the missing 13 on the list above.... bringing the number down to 132. Furthermore, it looks like you can get Machamp, but not Gengar, Alkazam or Golem, so in total, I believe you can catch 129 without trading. That's still more than the other colours though. (If I do my maths right, which is unlikely, that'll be 124 on those) The most you will ever SEE is 148 without trading/battling another cartridge. (whichever of the ancient Pokemon you don't get, you'll never see in an evolved form, unless you count the bones of the Kabutops in the museum. Which you don't). Without trading, you can never see a Golem either. 2.9 Mystery Dungeon The layout of the last dungeon is slightly different, with more water sections. Also, there are different Pokemon inside from previously. These are the ones I have run into: Ryhorn, Rhydon, Ditto, Gloom, Golbat, Chansey, Graveller, Weepinbell, Sandslash, Likcitung, Seaking (use Super Rod) and, of course, Mewtwo. 2.10 Gameboy Printer Some options allow you to make copies of pictures in the game on your Gameboy Printer. I have no clue how this works. However, WarriorZx "The Poke Expert" (uh huh) says: "To use the printer this what you have to do, first turn the game on (duh!) then press the start button, then push the A button; now you should be at the pokedex screen select the pokemon you want to print, you'll see a screen on the right, select the forth option down (make sure you have your printer plugged in) a screen will pop-up and it should start printing." I don't have a printer so I don't know. 2.11 Pikachu surf game! Apparently somewhere in the game is a Pikachu surf type game. You may need to use Pokemon Stadium to get this. I haven't got ANY info on this right now. Just a rumour? 2.12 Beating Trainers Due to the change in Pokemon in this game, certain trainers are easier or harder. Here's a guide to some of them. a) Brock Well, sucks to be you! Pikachu can't do anything against Onix or Geodude! (That hurts anyway) So, get a Caterpie, evolve it to Butterfree (hell, it's easy) and use Confusion on them both, and they'll be dead in no time! Another option people are telling me is to use Mankey, but I never found a reason to. Butterfree destroys them. b) Misty A breeze. Pikachu = Electric. Misty's Pokemon = Water. c) Lt. Surge Boy that Raichu is tough. It uses Thunderbolt, and Mega Kick/Punch (could be either). Can it do a Body Slam? Unsure (it hits Pikachu with two on TV). Anyway, here is my suggestion, followed by David Nguyen's, then Brain Bruening's. a) I use my Butterfree. It's |
