Pallet Town

(You’re 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. He’ll 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 (make sure that it doesn’t, run from battles if you need to), you’ll 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, it’s a nurse, whistle!) she’ll offer to heal your pokemon, select heal. Now go northeast to the pokemart (with a "mart" sign), you’ll receive Prof. Oak’s Parcel. Go back to Pallet town, picking fights as you go (get your pokemon to level 11).

Pallet Town

Go back into Oak’s lab and talk to him, he’ll give you and Gary each a pokedex. Now go into Gary’s house and get a town’s 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, you’ll 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. (Don’t 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 you’ll see a broccoli like bush. Press A and you’ll 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 won’t be using this much, only to catch some pokemon) you’re 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, you’ll 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 (it’ll evolve twice), fight with a weedle until level 10 (it’ll also evolve twice). Remember to go back to Viridian City if you need medical help. When you’ve 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, it’ll 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, you’ll 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. There’s another bug trainer in your way but it’s nothing you can’t 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, don’t waste your efforts finding a nidorn female if you can’t 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 won’t let you through, so let’s 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. You’ll 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 wouldn’t use this, I’d just sell it it). Note: if you don’t 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, you’ll be able to fix the clues together later. Go right from the entrance to the museum and you’ll find another bush looking thing, cut it later when you get HM 01 and go inside, you’ll find a scientist who will give you Old Amber. Oh, 1 more thing, get an escape rope, you’ll 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. You’ll 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 can’t handle. Just follow this formula: use pidgey (or charmander) against caterpies and grass pokemons, you can also use them against weedles and kakunas but I’d 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 someone’s 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 wouldn’t 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 you’re in trouble.

Walk through for items: (entrance) go up and left, you’ll 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, it’s TM 12 (water gun, you won’t 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, you’ll 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, you’ll 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 you’ll be challenged yet again, getting fun isn’t it? Go southwest from there to find yet another potion. Go east and you’ll find some rare candy (raises one of your pokemon’s 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 (I’d go with butterfree, you’ll 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 you’ve 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, you’ll find some clefairies here, challenge another rocket member and then a greedy little man. Choose a fossil, doesn’t matter which fossil you get, they are both good. From there, head west. Go down through the ladder and another one and you’re home free, thank goodness!

Route 4

After that long, (cough, cough) long walk, we’re heading towards Cerulean City. Be sure to pick up TM 04 (whirlwind) and do something with it, I think it’s useless, so I sold it. Capture a sandshrew or an ekans, depending on your version. Your pikachu should be at level 22 (don’t 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 didn’t use and use your rare candy and HP UP on a pokemon. Deposit your rattata too, if you haven’t 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, it’ll be a very short fight, just use thunder shock.

Cerulean City Gym

You can tell that these guys love water, they’ve transferred the gym into a pool!!! You’ll 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.

The Nugget Bridge

Team Rocket has 6 members guarding route 24, but before you can do much, you’ll have to face Gary.

Vs. Gary

His arsenal includes a pidgeotto (use pikachu), an abra (any pokemon would do, abra doesn’t have any moves right now), a rattata (use the highest level pokemon you’ve got) and the pokemon he had at the beginning (if he chose a bulbasaur, pigeotto/butterfree would do, if he chose charmander, a level 18 geodude or any water pokemon would do, if he chose a squirtle, a pikachu would do)

The Nugget Bridge

Defeat all 6 members of the team rocket to receive a nugget, sell it off to get $5,000, sweet!

Route 24 & 25

Now go left, you’ll be challenged by a trainer. Go north and find TM 45 (thunderwave, your pikachu should already have learned this, sell it). Then go south, whatever you do, don’t go through the trainers to the east, instead, try to catch a(n) bellsprout/oddish and an abra to your south. Try to get 2 abras if you can (one for trading and one for yourself). Put a butterfree in front, and use sleep powder against abra, use it again everytime he wakes up. Now put the abra in front, go challenge the first trainer, then immediately switch out another pokemon. Don’t use abra. That way, both abra and the pokemon that fought can gain points, and besides, abra can’t kill any pokemon, keep on doing this until you abra reaches level 16. After you pass the trainers, you’ll see a house nearby, go in it. Note: your starting pokemon should be approaching level 23 or 24, your pigeotto should be approaching level 22 (keep it at 18 if you have a charmander, deposit the bird too), your butterfree should be at level 17 or above, and your pikachu should be approaching level 24.

Sea Cottage

When you go into the house, you’ll see "Bill". Talk to him and help him transform back to a human. Now after he’s normal, go and talk to him again, he’ll give you the S.S. Anne ticket. Quickly go back to Cerulean City.

Cerulean City

Go to the pokecenter and heal your pokemon. Make sure you have at least 2 awakenings and 2 pokeballs. Exit the pokecenter and go to the house on the northeast corner, go out to the backyard and defeat the team rocket. Go heal your pokemon and come back here again. This time, go right, all the way right, then south, you’ll eventually find a road that looks like it’s for luxury people, this is route 5.

Route 5

Be sure to drop off a weak pokemon at the daycare. To do this, don’t enter route 5, instead, go to those hedges to the left and go down, you’ll jump over the hedges and finally reach a house. Jump down over the hedge when you’ve put a pokemon with the daycare, if you chose a charmander at the beginning, you have 2 choices, wait and get a Lapras at Saffron City, or put a magikarp (you’ll get it at Vermillion City, put it here before you go on S.S. Anne) there right now and wait for it to get to level 19, then train it into a Gyrados. Now go right into the underground path.

Route 6

Come out the other side of the underground path and capture a meowth/mankey, fight the six trainers and walk into the Vermilion City.

Vermilion City

Buy some super potions and some pokeballs, you should also have 2 or 3 awakenings. Go heal your pokemons and explore the whole town, going into each house. One guy will give you an old fishing rod, another will trade you a Farfetch’d for a spearow (don’t worry about catching another spearow), and another will give you a bike voucher, which you can take to the bike shop in Cerulean City to trade for a bike. Return to Vermilion City after you get the bike, make your way east of town and down the tiled bridge.

S.S. Anne

Too bad they don’t allow any cycling around here. Explore every room, go the east way first (go down the stairs on the southeast side of the ship when you first enter). I missed the kitchen, which is on the very southwest side of the ship when you first come in, visit that second. Go back to Vermilion City and heal your pokemon every time your pokemon are almost dead, fight every fight you can, and go to the captain last. You should also visit the deck to gain experience for your pokemon. To do this, go left at the entrance, (visit the stairs on the right first and the kitchen second) then go down the stairs you found. Go south to the next stairs, DON’T go right yet. When you have reached these stairs, keep on going west. To visit the captain, go left when you first come in, then down but DON’T go into the stairs, go right and then go up, but before you can go into the captain’s lounge, you’ll hear an annoying voice.

Vs. Gary

He leads off with a pidgeotto (pikachu), kadabra (butterfree), gyrados (pikachu), raticate (highest level pokemon), and the evolved version of the pokemon he started with (follow the formula on the first Vs. Gary section, pidgeotto/butterfree vs. ivysaur, etc.)

Captain’s lounge

Go up to the captain and press A, you’ll rub his back and he’ll give you HM 01, teach it to ivysaur or bellsprout/oddish.

Bye, Bye S.S. Anne

Get out of the ship and watch the cruise ship leave. Then head for diglett’s cave to the right of the entrance of S.S. Anne.

Diglett’s Cave

Capture a level 22 diglett, if you can’t find a level 22 one, find a level 20 diglett. Go out on the other side of Diglett’s Cave, you’ll find yourself on the right side of route 2, which you couldn’t get to before, go south and go into that house, trade an abra if you have one. Get out of the house and keep on heading south, go into the next house and talk to a scientist like person and get HM 05, keep it for a voltorb you’ll get later on. Don’t forget to get Old Amber at Pewter City. Go back to Vermilion City, use the cave.

Vermillion City

Head east of town.

Route 11

Defeat the trainers and head east, get the item finder and go back to Vermillion City.

Vermillion City

Now that you have cut, cut the bush on the south and go into the gym, placing your diglett at the very front.

Vermilion City Gym

First talk to the guy on the right when you enter, he’ll tell you that you need to solve a code to reach the lieutenant, defeat the 3 trainers in the gym and talk to them, they’ll tell you how to solve the code, I’m not even going to spoil this for you.

Lt. Surge

When you’ve solved the code, challenge the lieutenant. He has a level 18 pikachu, a level 21 voltorb, and a level 24 raichu. Put a diglett (which should be approaching level 26) in front and keep on using dig, you’ll win in no time, teach TM 24 to pikachu (Level 31) and your duglett will have almost evolved into dugtrio, use it against poisen, electric, fire, and rock typed pokemon. Return to Cerulean City. Surge will give you the thunderbadge and TM 24 (thunderbolt).

Route 25

There’s a bush on route 25, cut it and get TM 19 inside it, go to the sea cottage now and talk to Bill, do what he says, go on the PC.

Route 9

Go back to Cerulean City, cut that bush to the very south of the city, go northeast and you’ll see a short path leading to a bush, cut that and seek out 10 trainers on the way, the 10th is at the very end, by the rock tunnel entrance. Be sure to capture a voltorb on the way, teach it Flash, and store the HMs into the PC.

Rock Tunnel

This one is not as confusing as Mt. Moon, but the thing is, there is a ton of trainers and no items :( If you have the flash ability, you’ll get through very easily (since you can see). Put a grass or water type pokemon in front, again, use bellsprout/oddish/gyrados if you chose charmander, be sure to capture a machop and an onix.
