Changes From Previous Pokemon Editions
Intro:Instead of Jigglypuff/Nidoran and Snorlax/Gengar 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,It has new music too,
Graphics: EVERY Pokemon in the Pokédex has been redrawn. They mostly look a LOT better too, although there are many exceptions such as Magikarp, who now looks as lame
as he actually is.Also,Gary changes throughout the game. Not on the screen, but the pictures of him during a battle. There are three different drawings, like in the other games, but they are better,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,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 and then he 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 Gary's Eevee is based on how good you do; very good,Pokémon levels high, Jolteon; good, Pokémon levels normal, Flareon; bad, you allways lose, Pokémon levels low, Vaporeon. Depending on the Eevee, Gary's 3rd-5th Pokemon change around. Basically, he always has a fire, grass, water and fire.
Pikachu:Of course, the game is mostly about Pikachu now, so of course he has new stuff! 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 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!
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 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.41 Thunder LV.50
Thunder Stone:Pikachu will NOT use the Thunderstone!
(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 honor of Pikachus everywhere.
Team Rocket:Team Rocket appear in the game! I'm talking Jessie,James, and Meowth 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!
Nurse Joy: Nurse Joy is at every Pokemon Centre, with Chansey!
Officer Jenny: Officer Jenny is in Vermillion City, but also in Cerulean.
Casino:The Pokemon are the most expensive here of any version. I have found out what the Pokemon are for sale:
Scyther 6500, Pinsir 6500, Porygon 9999, Vulpix 1000, Abra 230, Wigglytuff 2680.
JIGGLYPUFF:The Jigglypuff that sings in Viridian City puts Pikachu to sleep! He stops following you around until you talk to him, when he is asleep.
Mystery Dungeon:The layout of the last dungeon is slightly different, with more water sections. Also, there are different Pokemon inside from previously. See the guide on
catching Pokemon below.
Gameboy Printer:Some options allow you to make copies of pictures in the game on your Gameboy Printer. 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.
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. Brock: Pikachu can't do anything against Onix or Geodude! (That hurts anyway) So, get a Caterpie, evolve it to Butterfree and use Confusion on them both, and they'll be dead in no time! Misty: Pikachu = Electric. Misty's Pokemon = Water. Lt.Surge:Boy that Raichu is tough. It uses Thunderbolt, and Mega Kick/Punch. Erika:Erika has had a change of Pokemon. Erika uses Weepinbell, Tangela, Gloom. Vileplume and Victreebell instead of Gloom and Weepinbell). Koga:Koga uses four Pokemon, starting with three Venonats. They increase in levels, 44, 46 and
48. They all use Toxic (TM 06). His final Pokemon is a level 50 Venomoth! . In the original game, Koga used Koffing, Muk, Koffing, Weezing. Sabrina:Originally she used Kadabra, Mr. Mime, Venomoth and Alakazam. Now she has gone all psychic and uses Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam!Abra: L50
Kadabra: L50 Alakazam: L50. :Blaine:HOW TO GET TO BLAINE: Each trainer in his Gym is stood in front of a computer
that asks a trivia question. If you get it wrong, you must face a trainer. If you get it right, the door opens. Regardless, if you beat the trainer the door opens. In the original game Blaine has Growlithe, Rapidash, Ponyta, and Arcanine. However, he uses the following now: L48 Ninetales, L50 Rapidash, L54 Arcanine. Giovanni:L50 Dugtrio, L53 Persian,L53 Nidoqueen, L55 Nidoking,L55 Rhydon.
GYRADOS CAN BE CAUGHT IN THE WILD!!!!! Yes! Outside the Warden's house in Fuschia City, at the pond you usually only get Magikarps and Poliwags from, if you use the Super Rod, about 1 in ten fights will be against a GYRADOS! |
