Your adventure starts in the the small Pallet Town.Then head
north.
Before you get a chance to leave the town limits, Professor Oak,
the towns expert on pokemon, will stop you and take you to his lab. He
will give you a little information on pokemon and their habits, then he
will let you pick a pokemon of your own to begin training. You can get
Bulbasaur, a grass type pokemon, Charmander, a fire type pokemon, or
Squirtle, a water type. They are all good, but I like Squrtle the best.
After picking your pokemon Professor Oak's grandson will challenge you
to a duel. Beat up his pokemon to win some cash, then head north to
Viridian City. While you travel you will have to fight some wild
pokemon. You can't catch them yet, but you can fight them to build up
experience. You can find Pidgey, a flying type, and Rattata, a normal
type pokemon. If your pokemon gets hurt or faints, just take him back to
your house and your mom will heal him. When you reach Viridian City head
to the Pokemon Mart. The shopkeeper will give you a package to deliver
to Professor Oak. Take it to Oak and he will give you the Pokedex. The
Pokedex will tell you all the pokemon you have seen or captured. Now go
back to the Pokemon Mart in Viridian City and stock up on items. You
should get a few Poke Balls so you can catch pokemon, and maybe an
antidote or two so you can cure poison.
You also might want to head south again to catch the Rattata and
Pidgey. Once you have completed your business, head north out of
Viridian City to Viridian Forest. In the forest you can find a bunch of
different pokemon including Caterpie and Metapod, both bug type, Weedle
and Kakuna, both poison type, and Pikachu, and Electric type pokemon.
You should try to capture and build up as many different kinds as you
can. There are also many rival pokemon trainers in the forest. Some of
the trainers pokemon are pretty tough, so it would be a good idea to
build up one of your pokemon up to a high level so you can beat them. As
you travel the forest you can find a Potion, a Antidote, and a Poke
Ball. If you keep heading north, you should eventually find the way out
to Pewter City.
Chapter 2: The Mt. Moon Area
There is a bunch of stuff to see in Pewter City. There is a Museum, a
Pokemon Center, a Pokemon Mart, and a Gym. Check out the city, then head
over to the Gym. There are two rival trainers to fight, including one
named Brock. Brock is the leader of the Gym, and if you want to
challenge him, you have to go through one his friends. Before you take
on Brock, make sure you have a couple of water, electricty, or grass
type pokemon at level 17 or above. This will ensure your victory. Brock
has two rock type pokemon, one at level 12, and one at level 14. When
you beat him you will recieve the boulderbadge. It raises all of your
pokemons attack power a little. You will also get something called
"TM34". These Technical Machines will teach any one of your pokemon a
special skill. TM34 will give one pokemon the Bide skill, which reflects
an enemys attack back at them. On the way to Mt. Moon there are a
whole bunch of rival trainers. They aren't nearly as strong as Brock,
but they still can be tough. You can also find two new pokemon on the
way to Mt. Moon. There is the Jigglypuff, a normal type pokemon, and a
Spearow, a flying type. Keep on going to reach Mt. Moon. In Mt. Moon
there is many things to get. There are many rival trainers in the
mountain, and some of them belong to Team Rocket, a group of evil
pokemon trainers.. There is the Zubat, a poison type, a
Paras, a grass type pokemon, the Clefairy, a normal type, and the
Geodude, a very strong rock type pokemon. Explore the entire area of Mt.
Moon until you get all the items you want, then go find the exit. Its
pretty easy to find. Once you are out, just follow the path to Cerulean
City. On the way you can get one more new pokemon. If you have the blue
version of the game you can get a Sandshrew, a ground type pokemon, and
if you have the red version you can get a Ekans, a poison type. Now go
to Cerulean City. There are a bunch of places to go to in the city,
including a bike shop. You can buy a bike, but it will cost you a lot.
Now go to the Gym. Here you will challenge the leader, Misty, once you
get through two other trainers. Misty has two water type pokemon at
level 18 and 21. I suggest building up a Geodude and Pikachu to level 23
or 24, plus another ground, rock, or fire type to at least level 22.
After you beat her you will get a TM11 and the Cascadebadge. Heal your
pokemon and head north. Right when you start on the path you will be
confronted by Gary. He is a hard opponent, cause he has 4 different
pokemon, all of which are in different classes. You will probably need a
few different pokemon too if you you want to beat him. After beating
After beating Gary, head
back to the Pokecenter and heal up. Then take on all the trainers. This
is actually one of the best places, at this point in the game, to build
levels at, because of the amount of trainers. When you fight them,
rotate different pokemon in every battle, so they all get a few levels
up. When you beat them, the path will be cleared, so you can make your
way to the Sea Cottage.
Chapter 3: The Saint Anne
Head north after the bridge. There are a few trainers, and you can catch
an Abra (both), a Oddish (red), and a Bellsprout (blue). Then go to the
house. There you meet Bill. Talk to him and help mih out. He'll give you
the S.S. Anne ticket. Go back to Cerulean City, and find the house with
the police officer standing next to it. Go through the house and down
the path. Here you will find the Pokemon Daycare. You can leave your
pokemon here and they will gain levels. But beware. Your pokemon cannot
evolve while in here, and you can't choose what skills they learn. After
that, keep going down and take the underground path. When you get out of
the path, you will be in a big grassy area with some more trainers. In
the grass you can find Meowth (blue), and Mankey (red). Keep going sout
to reach Vermillion City. Take care of business, then go to the docks
and enter the ship. The ship is a great place to build levels cause
there are tons of trainers. The only really hard battle in here is Gary,
but if you have a few strong pokemon you should be able to waste him.
After defeating Gary talk to the captian of the ship and make him feel
better. For this he will give you your first HM, called Cut. Once you
are done with the boat, go back to Vermillion and get any grass or plant
type pokemon in your party. Teach cut to the grass or plant pokemon,
then go to the Gym. To get into the Gym, you must use the Cut technique
on the funny looking bush. Then go in and beat the trainers. To get to
the Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, you must poen a locked door. To unlock the
door, you must hit the garbage cans in the right order. First, hit all
the cans untill you get the message saying you hace unlocked the first
switch. Then hit another can. If you pick the correct can you can go in
and fight Surge. If it wasn't you need to start over. Surge has 3
electric pokemon at levels 18, 21, and 24. If you have the blue version,
use a strong Sandshrew or Sandslash. They work great. If you got red,
just use any pokemon that isn't water or fire class. Beat Surge, get the
Thunderbadge and a TM, and head east out of the city. Pass the cave for
now and keep on going. You can get the Drowzee (both).
Then keep going east until you get to a building. Go in and go to the
top floor. Talk to the guy with glasses. If you have caught more than 30
pokemon he will give you the Itemfinder. Then Go back to the cave you passed a minute back. In the cave you
can catch a Digglett , and a Dugtrio . The Dugtrio is very
rare, so if you see him be sure to catch him. Go through the cave to an
area of Veridian Forest you've never been to. Go south to find the HP UP
and Moon Stone items. |
