G/S/C Walkthrough - New Bark Town/Route 29 Starting Crystal Starting Starting The Game Before you begin the game, there are a few things that'll happen. First, you see the intro, quite insteresting ones for Gold/Silver/Crystal. Then choose the "New Game" option. First, you choose the time. The default time is 10:00 AM. The image to your left is the new feature of the Crystal version, choosing to be a boy or girl, which comes before choosing the time. This is the main feature for the English version of Pokemon Crystal, but it doesn't effect the game. You will listen to Professor Oak talk for a while. Then, choose your name. You either choose a pre-selected name, or make your own. Your adventure starts in your bedroom, as usual. You'll need to walk down the stairs, and talk to your mom. First, she'll ask you for the date, and whether it's Daylight Savings Time. The default day is Sunday, but you can change the time to the time you wish. Why set a clock? Because some Pokemon only appears at certain times, that's why. After that, she'll give you the PokeGear. Choose Your Pokemon Next, leave your house and go to the huge labratory, where Professor Elm, the professor of G/S/C, waites for you. You'll be able to choose the three new starters: #152: CHIKORITA (Grass) The succesor of Bulbasaur. A cute little Pokemon, but just not strong enough. You really need skills to put the money on this dude! The experience level is EXPERT, so as I say once again, it is sort of impossible to choose Chikorita and want to beat other people. #155: CYNDAQUIL (Fire) Cyndaquil is the best choice. The experience level is EASY. My Cyndaquil evolved into a Typhlosion in two hours. Anyone can go with this Pokemon and beat the heck out of their opponents. A Brock-type Pokemon with small eyes, but certainly the best choice if you want to kick some butt! #158: TOTODILE (Water) This Pokemon is Squirtle's follower, and is also a pretty jolly Pokemon. The experience level is MEDIUM. This is a Pokemon who will lead you through the game nice and good, so this can be a good choice for a starter. Choose one (I chose Cyndaquil, which is the easiest to go for), rename it if you wish, and it's yours! Prof. Elm will then exchange phone numbers, and he'll tell you to go and find his friend, Mr. Pokemon. He will also tell you that the machine at the top left-hand can restore your Pokemon's HP. It is very useful, since many times your Pokemon will get knocked out. Prof. Elm's lab is a hot spot for special items, and abilities. But it takes time to get them. You'll get your chance throught the game. Below is a table showing what good stuff you can get. Potion: Before you leave for your quest, you can obtain a Potion from Professor Elm's assistant. Pokeball x5: After you deliver the Mysterious Egg to Professor Elm, he'll give you 5 pokeballs displaying his grattitude. Everstone: After you hatch Togepi, take it to the good ol' Professor to earn yourself the Everstone. Master Ball: After you win all eight Johto Gym badges, Professor Elm will award you with the Master Ball! S.S. Ticket: Defeat all the Elite Four, and earn yourself the S.S. Ticket. Before you go outside of town, you might want to look around. There isn't much to look at, though. But you will find this dude sneaking behind Professor Elm's lab. He is your soon-to-be rival. When you talk to him, he'll push you away. Finally, you go outside and start your journey! Route 29 You'll soon arive at Route 29. There are some Pokemon here, but you can't capture them of course, since you don't have a Pokeball yet. On Tuesdays, there is a girl named Tuscany that will show up. She has brothers and sisters who will also show up on certain days during the week (Monica of Monday, Wesley of Wednesday, Arthur of Thursday, Frieda of Friday, Santos of Saturday, and Sunny of Sunday). They give you special items that you can attach to your Pokemon that increase a certain attack depending on the item. These names will come up in the walkthrough. Tuscany will give you a Pink Bow which increases normal-type move points. Locations (Route 29) * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Sentret * Rattata * Spinarak Crystal Locations * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Sentret * Rattata * Hoppip * Spinarak Items * PokeGear * Pokemon: Cyndaquil * Pink Bow Cherrygrove City Talk to an old man just when you're about to enter the city. He has been a Pokemon Trainer for a long time, so he knows a lot about the world. Take his tour of Cherrygrove City, and he will give you the Map Card Add-On, which will be accessible through your PokeGear. This city has no gym, but does have a Pokemon Center and a shop. You cannot purchase a Pokeball yet until you visit Prof. Elm to deliver the egg. Route 30 and 31 Go North until you come to a house. Inside this house a man who knows all about Cherrygrove City Berries, and will teach you how to use them. You will encounter many different types of berries throught your journeys, so it's essential you talk to this man about them. After exiting that house, turn west and go up north on a path. You'll meet the following trainers after delivering the egg to Prof. Elm: Joey, Mikey, Don, and Wade. Their Pokemon levels around 2-4, so it won't be so difficult to beat. Joey and Wade will give you their phone numbers, if you talk to them after battling. Locations (Route 30 and 31) * Caterpie * Metapod * Weedle * Kakuna * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Rattata * Bellsprout (Route 31) Crystal Locations * Ledyba * Caterpie * Weedle * Spinarak * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Sentret * Rattata * Hoppip * Bellsprout * Poliwag * Gastly Locations (Dark Cave: Route 31 Entrance) * Geodude * Zubat * Dunsparce Click Here For A Map Of Dark Cave Mr. Pokemon Mr. Pokemon will introduce himself, and then Prof. Oak will give you a high tech Pokedex. Mr. Pokemon posses's a strange egg for Professor Elm to study, so you must carfully carry back to him to his lab in New Bark Town. Return to Mr. Pokemon's house later on after you collected the Red Scale and he'll give you the Experience Share item as an award. Professor Oak hurries off to Goldenrod City. Exit the house, and Prof. Elm will call you, telling you to go back to New Bark Town. Your Rival Just as you're about to leave Cherrygrove City, a red-haired boy called ??? will battle you. He is your soon-to-be rival. His Pokemon will have an advantage over your Pokemon. Your soon-to-be rival has stolen one of Elm's Pokemon. A police officer is in the lab with Prof. Elm. Now tell him the dude's name. You'll need to choose your rival's name now. A good name like Chuck or Bob will do, or a bad name, something from the category of foul language. Believe me, most people call their rivals bad names! After that, Professor Oak tells you to visit your mom. A scientist will give you five Pokeballs (Yay!) as you leave. Now go visit your mom, and she'll ask you if you would like her to keep some of your money just in case you "white out". A guy named Dude will want to show you how to use your new Pokeballs to catch Pokemon. Let's forget him, since we already know how, and go on. Now that you can catch a few Pokemon, look for Pokemon with higher levels to capture. Items * Map Card * High Tech Pokedex * Mystery Egg * Pokeball (5) The Violet Gym Once you arrive at Violet City, go to the gym. There, you'll first battle a few weak dudes, and then the gym leader, Falkner. He uses bird Pokemon, and are quite easy to defeat. Defeat Falkner to get $900, and TM 31 - Mud Slap. It will also allow you to use Flash anytime. Finally, you get your well deserved Zephyr Badge. It's one more step to becoming a Pokemon Master! Mysterious Egg After that, Prof. Elm will call you to tell you about a Mysterious Egg (Togepi). A scientist will show up in the Violet City Pokemon Center, and will ask you if you would like to take the egg. Of course, say yes and take the egg (you must have 5 or less Pokemon). You must take this egg, or else a man won't let you out of the city. You'll have to walk for quite a long time before it comes out. Bellsprout For Onix A house in Violet City has a person who wants to trade an Onix for a Bellsprout (let's just hope that you've caught one of those already). The level of the Onix is the same with your Bellsprout. Battle of the Monks Head north-east and you'll find the Sprout Tower, where the central beam is swaying around. There, many Sages (monks) with Bellsprout and some with Hoothoot will battle you. At the top of the tower, you'll rival beats the head Sage (called Sage Li), and talks to you. Defeat the Sage Li, and he'll give you HM 05 - Flash. Locations (Sprout Tower) * Rattata * Gastly Crystal Locations (Sprout Tower) Same As G/S Click Here For A Map Of Sprout Tower Ruins of Alph Next you will want to head west of Violet City to the Ruins of Alph, an archaeological site over 1,500 years old. Pass up the first cave entrance you see and keep going north past the Alph Lab (the little building) to the next cave entrance. Inside you'll find the first Alph puzzle that you'll have to put together. The first one is Kabuto, and when you've completely assembled it, the floor will fall below you and you'll fall down into a large room. Walk around and you'll find a lot of wild Unown. Catch 3 different shapes of Unown to bring to the Pokemon researchers in the Alph Lab. Kabuto Puzzle Ho-oh Puzzle Aerodactyl Puzzle Omanyte Puzzle Exit the cave after you've caught your 3 different Unown. Go to the Alph Lab just outside the cave exit. The scientist there will give you an upgrade for your Pokedex which will show you what different Unown shapes you've caught. In Crystal, there are treasure rooms coming from the Puzzle Rooms. You must look at the spelled out Unown words, and put them together. They tell you things that you need. Use Escape Rope in chamber; attach Mystic Water to lead Pokemon while in chamber; use Flash while in chamber; Move Ho-oh to the lead Pokemon spot in chamber. Doing this will bring you to the treasure room, where you'll find four treasures. Locations (Ruins of Alph: Outside) * Natu * Smeargle * Unown (Inside) Route 32 On Route 32, you'll encounter a lone Pokemon Center, with a Fishing Guru inside. Talk to him, and you'll get an Old Rod. Continue on and you'll pass through a cave (Union Cave's the name) with many trainers and rock Pokemon inside. TM 39 - Swift can be found on the lower level of Union Cave. Lapras will be hiding deep in the cave on Friday nights if you have Surf. After getting Cut later in the Ilex Forest, come back and talk to this person. He'll give you TM 05 - Roar. Locations (Route 32 and 33) * Bellsprout * Rattata * Wooper * Hoppip * Mareep * Zubat * Spearow (Route 33) Crystal Locations * Bellsprout * Rattata * Wooper * Hoppip * Ekans * Zubat * Hoothoot * Gastly * Spearow (Route 33) Locations (Union Cave) * Sandshrew * Geodude * Zubat * Golbat * Onix * Rattata Crystal Locations Same As G/S Click Here For A Map Of Union Cave You will then pass by a Route 33. Frieda will come out on "Frieda of Friday". She will give you a Poison Barb. Items * Zephyr Badge * TM 31 - Mud Slap * Mysterious Egg * Potion * HM 05 - Flash * Old Rod * TM 39 - Swift * TM 05 - Roar * Poison Barb Slowpoke Well After exiting the tunnel, you'll see Team Rocket guarding a well (Slowpoke Well) and the gym. It seems that Team Rocket has kidnapped all the Slowpoke in town. First talk to Kurt in the house above the gym. Kurt will move the Team Rocket member guarding the well. Now, defeat the Rockets in the well. After that, the gym is finally open for you. Locations (Slowpoke Well) * Zubat * Golbat * Slowpoke Crystal Locations Same As G/S Click Here For A Map Of Slowpoke Well Later after you get HM 04 - Strength, return to the well and go to the lower level. Here, you'll find King's Rock. It inables you to evolve either Slowpoke or Poliwhirl when you attach it during a trade through another Gameboy. TM 18 - Rain Dance, is also there. Kurt: Dude Who Makes Balls Kurt will take you back to his house after you defeat the Rockets in the well and give you a Lure Ball, good for capturing Pokemon from a Rod (hook). He'll make you more special balls from Apricorns you've collected throughout the Johto region. Only one ball can be made per day. Below is a table that shows which balls can be made from which Apricorns and their location. Fast Ball White Apricorn (next to Kurt's House in Azalea Town) Lure Ball Blue Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 37) Heavy Ball Black Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 37) Level Ball Red Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 37) Moon Ball Yellow Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 42) Friend Ball Green Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 42) Love Ball Pink Apricorn (one of the three plants on Route 42) The Hive Badge The time has come for you to challenge Bugsy, Gym Leader of the Azalea Gym. He uses three bug Pokemon, which Cyndaquil will burn perfectly. Once you win, the Hive Badge is your's, and you'll be able to use Cut outside of battles. He'll also give you TM 49 - Fury Cutter. You'll also earn $1,600. Rival's Return Your rival is back for another match with you. You'll encounter him when you try to leave Azalea Town. This time it is harder than the first. You'll have to battle his Zubat and Gastly and his starter. It may be hard, but the prize, $960, is still worth it all. Come Out, Togepi! By now, Togepi should hatch. You can take Togepi all the way back to New Bark Town for Prof. Elm to see. He'll give you an Everstone (as mentioned in the beginning), which won't allow a Pokemon that is carrying the stone to evolve. Items * King's Rock * HM 04 - Strength * TM 18 - Rain Dance * Balls * Hive Badge * TM 49 - Fury Cutter * Everstone Kwaa! After Azalea Town, you'll enter the Ilex Forest, a forest with big trees, and something to do. You'll see a man standing near a cut-able bush. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that his boss's Farfetch'd got away. Walk deeper into the forest, and you'll see the Farfetch'd. Chase it around by pressing the "A" button. Everytime, it will say: Kwaa! Soon, the Farfetch'd will be chased back with the man. A new man is standing there also. Talk to this guy, and he'll give you HM 01 - Cut. Now cut the cut-able bush to go to the other side. All you have to do is press "A". In Crystal version near the Celebi shrine, you can see Celebi flying around after placing the GS Ball into the shrine. To your left is a picture. However, this only appears in the Japanese version. Headbutt Now! After that, walk around and you'll find this guy who will give you TM 02 - Headbutt. This is a great and cool new TM that lets you shake those small trees for sleeping Pokemon. Cut the bush that is right in front of the Celebi's shrine, you'll wind through the forest path until you come to a connecting gate. Inside is a girl who will give you TM 12 - Sweet Scent. It will attract Pokemon to you outside of battle. Locations (Ilex Forest) * Caterpie * Metapod * Weedle * Kakuna * Paras * Zubat * Oddish Crystal Locations * Caterpie * Metapod * Weedle * Kakuna * Paras * Zubat * Oddish * Venonat * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Psyduck Route 34 (Day Care/Breeding Center) On Route 34, you'll find a house with an old man and woman in there. Talk to the man or the women and he/she will take one of your Pokemon to level it up. It's $100 to take them out or raise a level, a great deal. In the backyard of this house, you can breed your Pokemon. How? Just click here for the Breeding Guide. The old man will give you an Odd Egg in Crystal. This egg will hatch into either Smoochum, Elekid, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Pichu, Magby, Tyrouge, or Togepi (one of the baby Pokemon. It is random what you will get. But the thing is, no matter what they hatch into, they will all have Dizzy Punch. There is a 50% chance of it being shiny, but if it's not, it'll have very bad stats. After a while of walking, this was what popped out of my Odd Egg. It's Pichu, and most people don't get that! Before you enter Goldenrod City, there's a beach you might want to visit. Surf, go south, and you'll battle three trainers. Talk to the last trainer to get Soft Sand. It powers up rock-type attacks. Locations (Route 34) * Rattata * Abra * Drowzee * Ditto Crystal Locations * Rattata * Jigglypuff * Abra * Drowzee * Ditto Items * HM 01: Cut * TM 02: Headbutt * TM 12: Sweet Scent * Odd Egg * Soft Sand A Huge City Goldenrod City is the Celadon City of Johto. It is filled with many houses for you to explore, and there's a lot of things to do. The PokeMart there is like the Celadon City Department Store. In Crystal, The Goldenrod City Department Store has an all new rooftop marketplace that has bargain sales. There's a trainer called Camper Todd who appears right before you enter the city. Get his phone number, and he'll call you when there's a bargain sale. The image to your right is the rooftop marketplace. In the basement of the department store, there are trainers who are training, and won't be battling you. You will find items, but are blocked by boxes. Ride the elevator to a different floor first, and then come down to the basement, and those boxes will disappear. In the Japanese version of Crystal, the Pokemon Center is known as a PCC, or Pokemon Communications Center. It is a place that gives a lot of information on the Mobile GB Adaptor, get the GS Ball and Egg Ticket. Everything mentioned in this paragraph has been changed. Goldenrod City's Pokemon Communication Center has been downgraded to a normal Pokemon Center. Instead of an Egg Ticket, you'll simply get an egg with a Pokemon inside, and inside the Pokemon Center's a lady that you can give Eon Mails to receive Revives. Well, before we worry about anything else, let's go straight to the gym. Always remember to save the game before a gym battle in case you lose (which will make you lose money). A Strong Tank All the trainers use normal Pokemon at the Goldenrod Gym. 3 Trainers using Jigglypuff will come before Whitney, the gym leader of this gym. So before you battle Whitney (which I have to say is a pain in the hip, you'll see why later), go to the Pokemon Center to wake up all your Pokemon, unless none of them has been put to sleep. Well, here comes the time to battle Whitney. This battle, unlike any battle before, is super hard. Her Clefairy is easy to beat, but the Miltank, man, it is strong! The Miltank uses a powerful Rollout, and drinks a lot of milk to recover from injuries (see, milk is good for the body). A well experienced Geodude or Onix will come in handy at this point. What I would suggest is to skip the gym, go to Route 35 to get your own Rollout, and come back to the gym. Beat Whitney and her powerful Miltank, and get $2,000 plus TM 45 - Attract. You won't get the badge right away, because Whitney will start crying. Talk to the trainer below her, and then talk to Whitney again. She'll stop crying, and give you the Plain Badge. Radio Tower There's a radio station in the city. Go in and talk to someone at the far end of the counter. She'll ask you five questions, answer them in the following order: yes, yes, no, yes, no. If you answer all five questions correct (which I'm sure you will, I mean, the answer's right there!), you'll recive a Radio Card for your PokeGear. Right to the left of the girl who gave you the quiz is someone who will check to see if your ID is the same as the Lucky Radio Station's. In Crystal, Buena (new radio host) is located on the second floor. If you talk to her you'll receive a Blue Card. Every night (between 6 PM to 12 PM) she'll announce a password. If you go see her and tell her the password you'll receive points. Trade in these points for prizes (for example, three points can be traded in for a Rare Candy). Click Here For A Map Of Radio Tower Just Stuff Walk around the city. Go into some houses, and soon, you'll find a bike shop. Just talk to the guy and he'll give you a free bike. Now you can ride your fast bike around, and it's much faster than walking on foot. You'll also find two buildings that have an underground tunnel that connects to each other. Go down there. You'll see a few trainers down there, and if you find an itemball, it'll contain a Coin Case. Now that you have a Coin Case, go to the Game Corner and start gambling! On the fifth floor of the Goldenrod City Department Store, a guy is willing to trade his Machop for a Drowzee. Drowzee is a great Pokemon, so I wouldn't trade it away. But if you caught two, oh well, then trade the extra one away. Also in the Underground Path has a Pokemon Salon. There, you can groom your Pokemon, which makes it happy. There is a man with a hat who will change the name of your Pokemon for you in Goldenrod City. So, visit him at his house if you want to rename one of your Pokemon. TM 21 or TM 27 In the Goldenrod City Department Store, you'll find a lady on the fifth floor. She will give you a TM on Sundays, depending on how your Pokemon likes you. If your Pokemon likes you, she'll give you TM 27 - Return. However, if your Pokemon doesn't like you, she'll give you TM 21 - Frustration. Move Tutor A person called Move Tutor (rumored to be Bill's father) in the Crystal version can teach you very cool abilities, but for a very big price. You'll find him after you beat the Elite Four outside of Mt. Silver on Saturdays and Wednesdays. For a price of 4,000 coins, Move Tutor will teach either Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, or Ice Beam to one of your Pokemon. You can only learn one move per day. For more information, please go to the Move Tutor page. More TMs If you go to the Goldenrod Game Corner, you can get: TM 14 - Blizzard, TM 38 - Fire Blast, and TM #25 - Thunder each for 5500 coins. TM 33 - Ice Punch, TM 41 - Thunder Punch, TM 48 - Fire Punch, can each be bought at the Goldenrod Department Store for $3,000. At the basement of the PokeMart, you will find TM 35 - Sleep Talk. Go North Go north now, and soon, you'll reach National Park. Items * Eon Mail * Plain Badge * TM 45 - Attract * Radio Card * Blue Card * Coin Case * TM 21 or TM 27 * Some Moves (Optional) * TM 14 - Blizzard * TM 38 - Fire Blast * TM 25 - Thunder * TM 33 - Ice Punch * TM 41 - Thunder Punch * TM 48 - Fire Punch * TM 35 - Sleep Talk Get Rollout Before National Park, there is a path through the grass that you can take to get the move that Miltank used to destroy you. That's right, it's TM 04 - Rollout. National Park Walk a little after getting Rollout, and you'll find yourself at National Park, located on Route 35. Here, you'll find many trainers, and tons of bug and flying Pokemon. A Bug Catching Tournament is held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. To enter you have to talk with one of the guys standing by the doors of either entrances. You can only use one Pokemon for the tournament, so you better choose a good one (a fire-type would be an excellent choice) and put that Pokemon first. The contest is free, and you'll recieve 20 Park Balls (kind of like Safari Balls) for catching the bug Pokemon. However, if you press Start at anytime, the round will end once you go back to playing. To win the tournament, you'll need to capture high-level Pokemon such as Scyther since they are worth a lot of points. The number one prize is the Sun Stone. Here are the Pokemon you will find in the contest: Locations (Route 35) * Nidoran M & F * Pidgey * Abra * Drowzee * Hoothoot * Ditto * Yanma Crystal Locations * Snubbull * Jigglypuff * Pidgey * Abra * Drowzee * Hoothoot * Ditto * Yanma Locations (National Park: Bug Catching Tournament) * Sunkern * Caterpie * Metapod * Butterfree * Weedle * Kakuna * Beedrill * Venonat * Pinsir * Scyther Crystal Locations Same As G/S Locations (National Park) * Sunkern * Caterpie * Metapod * Pidgey * Hoothoot Crystal Locations * Nidoran M & F * Sunkern * Caterpie * Metapod * Spinarak * Venonat * Pidgey * Hoothoot * Psyduck Quick Claw Talk to a girl with a Pokemon sprite next to her on a bench inside National Park. She'll give you Quick Claw. A Pokemon carrying this will usually allow it to attack first. And outside of National Park, you will find TM 28 - Dig. Also outside of National Park, you'll find Suicune in Crystal. Go up to it, and it'll run away. Route 36 and 37 Remember that weird tree that shakes when you press "A" on it? Well, one of them is actually a Sudowoodo! After the third gym there was a house right outside the gym. Inside the house is a girl who will give you a SquirtBottle. Use the SquirtBottle on that wiggling tree, and Sudowoodo wakes up because it doesn't like water. Battle it and capture it. You better capture it and not kill it, 'cause there's only one of them. But in Crystal, when you talk to the girl inside the house, she'll tell you that her little sister has gone off to check out the wiggling tree, and that it could be dangerous. So you'll first have to talk to the little sister near the wiggling tree, and come back to the house to receive the SquirtBottle. TM 22 - Solar Beam can be found on Route 27 after you get Whirlpool. Next, head directly to the right, and talk to the fat dude. He'll give you TM 08 - Rock Smash. This important TM will allow you to break boulders later in the game. More Things To Do Right above the fat dude on Thursdays, Arthur will appear for "Arthur of Thursday". He'll give you a Hard Stone, which increases the strength of rock-type attacks. There's a guy wanting to deliver a Spearow with Mail attached to another guy on Route 31. The guy with the Spearow is in the Route Change gate right after Goldenrod City. After getting TM 50 - Nightmare, you can go back to the guy in the gate, and he'll give you a HP Up. Locations (Route 36 and 37) * Growlithe * Spinarak (Route 37) * Vulpix * Ledyba (Route 37) * Nidoran M & F * Pidgey * Pidgeotto (Route 37) * Hoothoot * Stantler * Oddish Crystal Locations * Growlithe * Spinarak * Vulpix * Ledyba * Ledian (Route 37) * Nidoran M & F * Pidgey * Pidgeotto (Route 37) * Hoothoot * Noctowl * Stantler * Oddish * Ariados Items * TM 04 - Rollout * Park Ball (20) * Varying Prizes * TM 28 - Dig * Quick Claw * SquirtBottle * TM 22 - Solar Beam * TM 08 - Rock Smash * Hard Stone * TM 50 - Nightmare Time Capsule After Routes 36 and 37, you will arive at Ecruteak City. You'll probably want to go to the local Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon. There, you'll meet Bill. He'll tell you he just finished fixing his Time Capsule. The Time Capsule will let you transfer Pokemon from older games, (Red, Blue, and Yellow) and transfer them to Gold, Silver, or Crystal. Bill tells you that you can't have any new moves found in G/S/C on your Pokemon when you trade. Then he'll leave and go back to Goldenrod City. He'll give you an Eevee if you talk to him again. Now, fasten your seat belts as we race to the gym! The Ghost Gym If you didn't know it, it would look quite weird. You'd think that the game was messed up or something. What am I talking about? The ghost floor surface in the gym. You see, if you just walk straight all the way (which you can't), you'll fall right through, and go back to the beginning. You'll need to follow a certain path that you can see with your eyes, but can see with your common sense. After falling a few times, you'll soon realize the pattern. Or, you don't need to realize that. Simply look to your left! Morty, the gym leader, uses Pokemon from the Gastly family (Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar), leveling from 21 to 25. Morty will award you with the Fog Badge. You'll get $2,300, plus TM 30 - Shadow Ball. Also, you can now use Surf outside of battles. In Crystal, an old man will kick you out, because Morty isn't in there. You'll find out where he is later in this walkthrough. Getting Surf After you beat the gym leader and got your well deserved badge, go to this house where five Kimono Girls are dancing on a stage. Go onto the stage to battle each Kimono Girl. Each one has an Eevee evolution. There are two new ones, Espeon and Umbreon. Deafeat all of them, and talk to the man with the hat. He'll give you HM 03 - Surf. In one of these houses, a guy will give you the Item Finder. Burned Tower You'll have no trouble finding the Burned Tower. In Crystal, the design of the tower has been changed, and is actually burned! Your rival will battle you once you enter the Burned Tower. I would suggest that you use a Kadabra now if you had caught one earlier. After defeating your rival, it's time to explore the Burned Tower. But wait, in Crystal, once you enter, you'll be talking to Eusine, a Suicune fan. He tells you that he's searching for the legendary dogs. Morty, the gym leader, is here too, helping Eusine out. Now go inside a ring of rocks, and your rival will battle you. After that, you fall into a hole, and you'll meet the legendary dogs. The Dogs Now's the time to use TM 08 - Rock Smash if you had taught it to one of your Pokemon. If you didn't, do it now. There are boulders blocking your path, and nows the time to smash them. Fight the trainer and you can fall down the hole in the middle. Go up to the stone statues and they will awaken, then run away, each in a different direction. These three are the Three Legendary Beasts, or dogs. The first one is Raikou, an electric-type. Next is Entei, the fire-type. Finally, there is Suicune, the water-type. You may run into them later in the wild, so be prepared. I fought Raikou just a few minutes after letting them go. Some people will take longer. It's random. They each have 40 HP, and every time you attack them, they will lose some (of course). But the thing is, they will never recover. So hit them a little at a time, and finally, catch them. The good news is that once you encounter one them, you'll be able to track them. The bad news is that they are very difficult to capture. In Crystal, you'll actually be able to see a special made sprite just for that Pokemon instead of the normal sprite. This should be interesting, but doesn't effect game play. After you release them, take the ladder back up to the main floor. Item Finder There is a house between the Pokemon Center and the gym where you can receive an Item Finder. Get Your Endure! Just walk down the stairs, go to your right, and break that boulder. Next, you'll have fall in the hole in the upper right hand corner. Then move a rock with Strength and TM 20 - Endure is yours.

Locations (Tin Tower) * Rattata * Gastly Crystal Locations Same As G/S Route 38 and 39 Before we talk about anything else, I just want to tell you that I fought with Entei here in Crystal. In Silver, I met a Raikou here. It's all supposed to be random, but I guess they just want to meet me here. At the beggining of Route 38, there is a plant that produces Berries. Get these Berries, for you will need them later. On the corner of Route 39 and 39 is a Miltank Farm. The bad news is that their prize Miltank won't produce any milk. Time to help! Give this Miltank seven Berries, and it'll feel better. After the Miltank gets better, the lady owner will give you TM 13 - Snore. Also, you will be able to purchase milk for $500 from the man. Milk can recover 100 HP for your Pokemon but the guy will only sell you one at the time. A couple of trainers with Pikachu will be battling you on Route 39.

Heal your Pokemon, look around, and of course, run to the local gym. But when you get there, you will find out from your rival that the gym leader, Jasmine, is missing! Four Things To Do Next, go inside the house next to the Pokemon Center. Talk to the Sailor on the right, and he'll give you HM 04 - Strength. Now, above the Pokemon Center is another house. Go in there, talk to the Fishing Guru, answer yes to his question, and you'll get a Good Rod. On Mondays, look for Monica in the city. Talk to her and she'll give you Sharp Beak. When attached to a Pokemon it'll raise the power of flying attacks. Finally, there is a house with a man inside who would like to trade his Voltorb for your Krabby. Jasmine Next, go southeast of Olivine City to find a lighthouse known as the Glitter Lighthouse. TM 34 - Swagger can be found here. Go to the top as you battle trainers and by falling into holes. At the top, you'll find Jasmine, the missing gym leader. Jasmine will ask you to get some medicine for her sick Pokemon from a pharmacy at Cianwood City. To get to the bottom easily, simply fall into holes one after another, and soon, you'll reach the first floor. Now, let's surf to Cianwood City! Click Here For A Map Of Glitter Lighthouse Battle Tower The Battle Tower is just west from Olivine City. Click on the link below for much more information on the Battle Tower Click Here For Info On The Battle Tower Items * HM 04 - Strength * Good Rod * Sharp Beak * TM 34 - Swagger Surf To Cianwood! You can go to Cianwood City by surfing from Olivine City. In the water, you'll battle a few trainers, and catch Tentacool and Tentacruel. There are some rocks that could be smashed by using Rock Smash. Krabby is there. Chuck, Chuck, Chuck Chuck is the gym leader of the Cianwood Gym. You'll see some boulders blocking your way. No problem, just use Strength to move them out of your way. Chuck trains fighting Pokemon. Beat him to earn $3,000 (some which are sent to mom, like always), TM 01 - Dynamic Punch, and a Storm Badge. Now, all Pokemon up to lv. 70 will obey you, and you can now use Fly outside of battles. I Believe I Can Fly After beating Chuck, talk to the lady outside the gym to get HM 02 - Fly. Now you can fly (Yay!). Taking A Picture Now, above the gym, there's a house with a man inside that'll take a picture of one of your Pokemon. Now you can print it out on your Gameboy Printer, if you have one that is. In another house, a green-haired man asks you if you can take care of his Shuckle for a while. But you'll need to have an extra space for Shuckle, which means you'll need to only have five Pokemon with you. Say yes, and Shuckle is yours. Finally The Medicine Stop by another house to finally get the medicine from a guy wearing sunglasses, a Secret Potion Jasmine needs for her sick Pokemon before battling you. Don't Forget Suicune! Before you go any where else, the time has come for you to meet Suicune. Just go north of the city, and you'll find a house. To your upper-right hand corner, inside a line of rocks, is Suicune. Its just standing there. Now go near it, and it'll hop away. Then, Euisine will come to talk to you about getting a glimps of Suicune. Then, he'll battle you. After you beat him, go into the house where you'll see a person, known as Poke Seer, who will tell you about one of your Pokemon. He will tell you the place you caught that Pokemon, the time, the happiness, and the level. Now, either surf or test out your new wings (not really) to get back to Olivine City. Deliver The Medicine Once you are back in Olivine City, go to the lighthouse again to give Jasmine the Secret Potion for her sick Pokemon. Now Jasmine will go back to her gym. Jasmine has two Magnimite, and shouldn't be too hard to beat with a rock-type Pokemon such as Geodude or Onix. She also have a Steelix, which is five levels higher than the lv. 30 Magnimite. $3,500, TM 23 - Iron Tail, and the Mineral Badge are yours if you beat Jasmine. Sunny of Sunday Head back to Ecruteak City, the place where the gym leader, Morty, has ghost-type Pokemon. On Sundays, Sunny will walk amoungst 3 berry plants> on the right side of Route 37. Talk to Sunny, and he'll give you Magnet, which increases the power of electric attacks. Next, exit east from the city using the Route Gate and you'll arrive at Mt. Mortar, located on Route 42. Mount Mortar Deep in Mt. Mortar, a trainer named Karate King will give you Tyrogue if you beat him. Bring only five Pokemon with you, or else he won't give it to you. You'll also need Waterfall to get to him. On your way to the Karate King, you'll find an item ball with Dragon Scale. Also, near the Dragon Scale, you'll find TM 40 - Defense Curl. There are three plants right outside of the middle entrance to Mt. Mortar surronded by small trees. You'll need a Pokemon with Cut in order to obtain the stuff. You'll get a Pink Apricorn, a Green Apricorn, and a Yellow Apricorn. Use Headbutt on the trees, and you might find something. I found an Aipom. In Crystal, you'll see Suicune right here. Go up to it, and it'll run off. Head east now, and you'll find yourself in Mahogany Town. Locations (Mt.

Red Gyarados You'll arrive at Mahogany Town, but you'll find a Team Rocket member blocking the door of the gym. You'll have to find something else to do first. Now go north on Route 43 as you battle trainers and wild Pokemon. You'll reach a huge lake, known as the Lake of Rage. Surf to the center, and you'll see a lv. 30 Red Gyarados sprite, as show on your left. Save your game before battling it, so that if you knock it out, you can turn off your game and do it over. Locations (Route 43) * Noctowl * Pidgeotto * Venonat * Girafarig * Mareep * Flaaffy Crystal Locations * Noctowl * Farfetch'd * Venonat * Venomoth * Sentret * Furret * Raticate After capturing, or knocking it out, you'll get a Red Scale, which you can trade for an Experience Share from Mr. Pokemon. Meet Lance After catching/defeating the Red Gyarados, you'll see Lance standing by a sign. My friend calls him: "Gary with a Halloween costume." Talk to him and he'll tell you that Mahogany Town has a secret Rocket Hideout, where strange radio signals are broadcasted making the Magikarp in the lake evolve into Gyarados. He needs your help. Answer yes, and he'll fly off. Now, go back to Mahogany Town. Bombs Away! On your way back to Mahogany Town, you can go through a gate house with a red roof. Warning! There are Rockets in there, and they'll steal your money. Hop over the ledges to get back. However, later after you get rid of Team Rocket, come back to get TM 36 - Sludge Bomb from a guy inside. Items * TM 10 - Hidden Power * Blackbelt * TM 43 - Detect * Red Scale * TM 36 - Sludge Bomb The Store Once you arrive in town, head to the middle where you'll find a house. Inside, a guy is selling things. You'll find Lance, who flew away recently, here. He'll show you the secret door to the Rocket's Hideout. Rocket's Hideout Now you're in Rocket's Hideout. On the first floor, there are many statues. Each time you pass by one, a Rocket member (also known as a Rocket Grunt) will battle you. They'll tell you that there's a camera in each statue, and to turn it off, you'll need to hit the switch. The switch is on that lone computer which you can get to after defeating the scientist in the center. Go up the stairs, and you'll be on the second floor. There, talk to Lance and he'll heal your Pokemon. He'll go away. Now defeat the two Rocket members, and go to the third floor. On the third floor, Lance will talk to you again. He says to unlock the doors to this level, you'll need to get two passwords from Team Rocket. The two Rocket members that have these two passwords are on this level. The first one is a Rocket Girl, facing a computer. She'll give you the password if you talk to her after you battle her. The other member is near two Pokeballs. Talk to him after the battle and he'll give you his password. Follow the stairs until you reached the locked doors. Your Rival will come to talk to you, but he won't be battling you. Unlock the door and fight the Rocket Executive. Talk to the Murkrow after he leaves and it'll give you the final password: Hail Giovanni. Now head down to the second floor, and unlock that locked door. Radio Signals You are still on the second floor. After unlocking the door, two Rocket Executives will come up to battle you. Lance tells you to split the job, and he'll battle on of them, while you battle the other. After the battle is over, Lance tells you that the radio signals needs to be stopped. Since there is no switch, you'll have to battle the Electrode. Catch 'em, or knock 'em out. After doing either one, Lance will give you HM 06 - Whirlpool. Pryce Finally, the time has come to battle the Mahogany Gym gym leader, Pryce. You'll have to walk a certain way, and the picture to your left shows you exactly how. After you beat Pryce, he'll award you with $3,100, TM 16 - Icy Wind, and the Glacier Badge. This badge allows you to use Whirlpool outside of battles. Team Rocket Has Taken Over... Well, after getting your seventh (second to last) badge, you have a smile on your face, and is about to go to the next city. Well, too bad, you can't. Professor Elm tells you that you need to first go back to Goldenrod City. The city's radio broadcast seems to be talking a lot about Team Rocket. He just wants you to check things out. Now, head back to Goldenrod City to fight some more Rockets. Items * HM 06 - Whirlpool * Glacier Badge * TM 16 - Icy Wind Back to Goldenrod Now you're back at Goldenrod City. Now, heal your Pokemon, and it's back to the Radio Tower! Radio Tower Once Again The other floors of the Radio Tower (which cannot be accessed before), can be now. The bad news: The floors are filled with Rockets. The first thing that you'll need to do it quite easy. Defeat the Rocket members as you make it to the top. There is a locked door on the third floor; It'll be opened later on. There is a Rocket Executive on the top floor who is impersonating as the Director. Beat him, and he'll give you the key to unlock the door to the Underground Warehouse, which can be reached by going into the Underground Tunnel in this city. Your rival was following you, and wants to fight you (so annoying). He has a Sneasel, one of the new dark-type Pokemon. Still, his Pokemon are quite weak. Next you will have to press switches to open doors and remove walls. To get to the Female Rocket leader you must push the switches in this order: The Left switch (#3), then Middle (#2), then the Right one (#1). Save The Director You'll be battling more Rockets until you finally meet the Radio Tower's Director. He'll give you the Card Key to unlock the locked door on the third floor. Of course, you'll now need to unlock the door. After that, beat the rest of the Rockets. Rainbow Wing, Silver Wing, Or Clear Bell The Director will come to thank you after you defeat all the Rockets. He'll also give you a special Wing, something you'll need in order to capture either one of two legendary birds. You'll get the Rainbow Wing (to catch Ho-oh) in Gold Version, or the Silver Wing (to catch Lugia) if you have the Silver Version. In Crystal, he'll give you a Clear Bell for capturing Suicune later. Gifts Before exiting the Radio Tower, go around to talk to two people. They'll give you free items. A girl in a green dress will give you a Pink Bow, and this other girl will give you TM 11 - Sunny Day. Free Pokemon Before leaving the city, stop by this house near the waters on the west to get a free Pokemon (Eevee) from Bill. Like before, you'll need to have a place to hold one more Pokemon. After that, head back to Mahogany Town, and go to the Ice Path. Ice Path Exit Mahogany Town to the east until you reach a lake. Take the path that leads above the lake. Continue heading east until you reach a cave. This is Ice Path. Work your way through the path and skate across the ice. Don't forget to pick up HM 07 - Waterfall which allows you to go up waterfalls. You are going to need it shortly after you gain the eighth badge. On the second floor, you will have to push some boulders down a few holes. On the fifth floor, you'll find # TM 44 - Rest . After that, you should come out on the other side of the cave in Blackthorn City.

This is the eighth and final badge for the Johto region, and is the final step to entering the Pokemon League. If you can't get into this gym because of a guy blocking it, you have forgotten to beat something earlier in the game. Before you battle Clair, you'll have to push three boulders into holes to make a path over the molten lava below. Of course, you'll also be battling trainers. Clair has dragon-type Pokemon, three Dragonair, and one Kingdra. You'll get $4000 for beating her. That's all. You won't be get the badge yet. You must first surf behind the gym to a cave called the Dragon's Den, and get an item called the Dragon Fang. Dragon's Den You'll need to get passed a whirlpool in order to get to the item, so you'll need a Pokemon with HM 06 - Whirlpool. After getting Dragon Fang, Clair will walk up to you the Rising Badge, and TM 24 - Dragonbreath. Now all Pokemon will obey you, and you'll be able to use Waterfall outside of battles. In Crystal, it is different. You won't be getting the Dragon Fang. Instead, you'll enter a house, called the Dragon's Shrine. Inside, you'll be asked some questions having to do with Pokemon (the Trainer Challenge). These questions are quite easy if you really are a good Pokemon Trainer. If you get them smoothly, Clair will come and give you the badge. If you go back into the Dragon Shrine and talk to the head sage, he'll give you a Dratini. Exit Dragon's Den, and Professor Elm will call you. He tells you that he has something for you back at New Bark Town. Two More Things But before you leave, you can drop off a TM or HM from a Pokemon of yours in a house called the Move Deleter's House. Next, you'll meet Santos on Saturday. He'll give you Spell Tag, it increases ghost-type attacks. Now it's time to go home! Route 45 and 46 As you walk back to New Bark Town, you'll pass by Route 45 and 46. You'll meet a couple of trainers, and get some items. But be careful! Once you jump over a hill, you can't go back. This means you'll need to go all the way south. Below are the Pokemon that can be found on these two routes. Locations (Route 45 and 46) * Gligar * Teddiursa * Phanpy * Skarmory * Geodude * Graveler * Rattata (Route 46) * Spearow (Route 46) * Jigglypuff (Route 46) Crystal Locations * Gligar * Phanpy * Donphan * Skarmory * Geodude * Graveler * Rattata (Route 46) * Spearow (Route 46) * Jigglypuff (Route 46) Home, Sweet Home! You're finally back at New Bark Town! Go to Professor Elm's lab, and he'll give you a Masterball! After getting this and the Rainbow Wing, Silver Wing, or Clear Bell, you can go and catch one of the legendary Pokemon! Legendaries In order to capture Ho-oh, go back to Ecruteak City, and to the Tin Tower. You'll find Ho-oh on the rooftop, sitting in the sun, waiting for it to be captured. Save the game before you battle it, because there's only one of them! An Ultra Ball should be able to do the job. In order to capture Lugia, go to the Whirl Islands, south of Olivine City. You'll need a Pokemon with Whirlpool, Surf, and Flash in order to get it. Lugia is also lv. 40 and will give you 1257 experience points if you beat it. But don't, I mean, why would you anyway? This is a legendary, after all. Let's Go On After capturing one of them, go back to New Bark Town, and get ready for the Pokemon League. Make sure that you have a Pokemon with Surf and Waterfall. Now surf east from New Bark Town. Items * Dragon Fang * Rising Badge * TM 24 - Dragonbreath * Spell Tag * Master Ball Kanto Map Card After surfing and reaching dry land, the fat guy will tell you to look at your PokeGear. You'll find the map of the Kanto region (from Red/Blue/Yellow). Tohjo Falls Next you'll enter a cave that has a waterfall. Surf to your left, and you'll find a Moon Stone. Surf up the waterfall and then down the other side to get out of the cave. Locations (Tohjo Falls) * Zubat * Golbat * Rattata * Raticate * Slowpoke Route 26 and 27 After you've exited the cave, you'll find a house with an old lady inside. Talk to her, and she'll give you TM 37 - Sandstorm. Surf off the bridge on Route 27. Then, get pass the whirlpool to find TM 22 - Solar Beam. Going On Next, surf east some more and you'll fight some trainers when you reach land. Before going on, there's a house with a woman who will heal your Pokemon for you. Now head north, and eventually, you'll reach Victory Road. Victory Road Eventually, you'll reach u>Victory Road, which is very short. Inside, you will find TM 26 - Earthquake. Before you reach the end of Victory Road, your rival will come to challenge you one more time. After that, it's time for the Pokemon League. Locations (Victory Road) * Ursaring * Donphan * Onix * Rhyhorn Items * New Map Card * Moon Stone * TM 37 - Sandstorm * TM 22 - Solar Beam * TM 26 - Earthquake Indigo Plateau Just like in the old games you will fight the Elite Four and Pokemon League Champion one after another. But before you battle the Elite Four, be sure to have with you a whole lot of Revives, Potions, and stuff that'll help you out during your battle. Of course, if you have type and level advantage, beating them would be like squashing a bug. The easiest way to beat them all? Every Pokemon in your team should be at least lv. 50. Elite Four The first person from the Elite Four whom you will battle with is Will. He uses Pokemon with psychic-type attacks, and a new psychic bird known as Xatu. Shadow Balls should knock every one of them out in one hit, and use a fire-type attack on Exxegutor. Koga's the second member of the Elite Four. He's the former gym leader of the Fuchsia Gym. He still uses poison-type Pokemon. A fire Pokemon should easily be able to knock every one of them out in one hit, except for Muk. Bruno is back, and he still uses the same type of Pokemon he's always been using: Rock and Fighting. Psychic or ghost-types will be good on him, but watch out for the Rock Slide! Karen has mostly dark-type Pokemon, but also has a Vileplume and Gengar. She uses three new Pokemon: Umbreon, Murkrow, and Houndoom (very powerful). Start using Rollout when Murkrow comes, and you'll probably hit the Houndour and knock it out. Here's Lance, the Champion. "Gary in a Halloween costume" still uses dragon Pokemon. Keep on using Hypnosis, and then Dream Eater. That works for everybody. The End After battling the Elite Four, you have become a Pokemon League Champion! Professor Oak and an interviewer named Mary will come to congratulate you. Lance will take you away from the interview, and will take you to the back room, where he'll enter your team into the Hall of Fame. Then comes the credits, and "The End"! Sure, it says "The End", but it is really not. You still have a long way to go. Now you can go and explore the world of Kanto with Gold/Silver upgrades... Items * None More Stuff After you beat the Elite Four, you still have more to do. Here's what's next. Go talk to Professor Elm in New Bark Town and get the SS Aqua Ticket. Then head to Olivine City and enter the SS Aqua through the passage that was previously blocked by someone. SS Aqua Now that you are on the SS Aqua, you can go around battling the gym trainers aboard. To get off you first have to find a man's granddaughter who is with the captain of the ship. To get there you must find a lazy sailor who is in the room next to yours. Battle him so you can get past another sailor blocking your way later in the ship. Find the girl after going downstairs then upstairs with the captain, and you'll be sent back to the Grandpa's cabin. He'll give you Metal Coat for all your troubles. Metal Coat increases the strength of steel-type attacks. If you decide to go back onto the SS Aqua for a second time, you must go to your room and sleep in your bed if you ever want to get off the boat again. A Surge of Electricity! It's you against Lt. Surge now in the Vermilion Gym. You won't have to do his trash can secret switch puzzle to get to him. You'll have to fight a couple guys though, but you should do it anyways to gain more experience. Lt. Surge's Pokemon shouldn't be too tough. Especially if you have a ground-type Pokemon like Graveler or Sandslash. Dig or another ground-type move should render his Pokemon helpless. After you beat Lt. Surge, he'll give you $4,600, and the Thunder Badge for winning which will increase your Pokemon's Speed. Now, let's head on to Saffron City! Items * SS Anne Ticket * Metal Coat * Thunder Badge The Psychic Hotline Once you arive at Saffron City, there is a man named Mr. Psychic. Talk to him, and he'll give you TM 29 - Psychic. The Psychic Battle After that, you should head to the gym to challenge the gym leader! Sabrina, as we all know, is the gym leader of the Saffron Gym. And just like before, it has the teleporter puzzle which you must go through. Keep going to the right or left and you'll eventually get to Sabrina after battling a couple Psychic Trainers along the way. Sabrina has an Espeon, one of two new Eevee evolutions, Alakazam, and a female Mr. Mime? What on earth is going on? Well, the Japanese name does not deal with gender, while the English name does. Anyway, beat Sabrina to earn $4,800, and the Marsh Badge. After that, teleport your way out of the gym. The Dojo After you leave the gym, you'll find the Dojo right next to it. Go inside, and you'll find an itemball containing Focus Band. It may prevent fainting. Don't Forget The Upgrade! Before you leave, visit the Silph Co. You can't go anywhere, but you'll receive Up-Grade. It evolves Porygon when attached and traded. Go On Next, you'll pass through Cerulean City, and to the Power Plant. Remember, you can't access the Magnet Train or get the EXPN Card (Kanto's radio card). Power Plant After crossing Cerulean City and reaching the end of Route 9, surf east and then south over to the Power Plant. A fat guy (the manager) is really upset about a missing machine part that someone stole. When you try to exit, a guard will say that some shady character in Cerulean City has been spotted and asks for your help. Time to head back to Cerulean City. Missing Part When you arrive at Cerulean City, go straight to the gym. The Rocket member who stole the Machine Part will bump into you, tell you to forget about him, and run away. Walk on the bridge in the gym, and you'll find the Machine Part on a certain part of the bridge. Head back to the Power Plant and give the manager the Machine Part. He'll give you TM 07 - Zap Cannon to thank you. Magnet Train The Power Plant is now giving power to the Magnet Train, so now you can go ride on that (if you get the ticket, that is). The Magnet Train will transfer you between Johto and Kanto much faster than any other way. To get the ticket, you'll need to head back to Saffron City. Talk to the Mimic Girl, and she'll tell you that she lost one of her Poke Dolls. Go back to Vermilion City to the house where you get the bike voucher in the previous versions. Talk to the man above the doll inside. He'll give you the Poke Doll that you'll give to the Mimic Girl back in Saffron City. Head back to Saffron City and give her the Poke Doll. In return, she'll give you a Pass that'll allow you to ride the magnet train anytime you want. The Magnet Train terminals are in Goldenrod City, next to the Radio Tower, and in Saffron City, next to the gym. Items * TM 29 - Psychic * Marsh Badge * Focus Band * Up-Grade * Machine Part * TM 07 - Zap Cannon * Pass Seven Trainers You'll find out that Misty's gym is empty. So now take the path north across Nugget Bridge. You will encounter seven trainers who promises a prize. After beating them all, you'll recieve a Nugget from Cooltrainer Kevin. Oooo! Continue on after Sea Cottage (Bill's House), and you'll find Misty with her boyfriend. She'll call you a pest, and run off to her gym after you see her. The Watery Gym Now go to the Cerulean Gym, where you'll find some swimming trainers, and Misty, the gym leader. She has a Quagsire, Wooper's evolution. Electric attacks won't work on this Pokemon, since it is a ground-type too. So a grass-type would be the best selection for this gym battle. You'll get $4,700 and the Cascade Badge from Misty after you beat her. Now let's go on to Lavendar Town! Something In The Water Surf to the place where the Cerulean Cave had stood. You'll find Berserk Gene. It raises attack, but confuses your Pokemon. Cleanse Tag When you're going south from Cerulean City to Lavender Town, stop by the house that is at the bottom of a bunch of ledges. Talk to the old lady inside and she'll give you a Cleanse Tag. It'll help keep wild Pokemon from attacking you. Lavendar Town Lavendar Town's Pokemon Tower has been changed to a Radio Tower (what happened to all the ghosts?). Once in there, talk to the gentleman facing the wall. He'll give you an Expn Card for thanking you for giving power back to the Power Plant. The Expn Card allows you to tune your Radio to all radio stations in Kanto. Name Rater & Super Rod You can still find the Name Rater in Lavendar Town like in R/B/Y. Before you leave, head south of Lavendar Town and you'll find the Fishing Guru's house. Answer yes to his question, and he'll give you a Super Rod. Go down a little more, and you'll find an itemball with a Nugget inside. Items * Nugget * Cascade Badge * Berserk Gene * Cleanse Tag * Expn Card * Super Rod * Nugget Erika's Gym Erika is Celadon Gym's gym leader. She uses two new grass-type Pokemon: Bellosom and Jumpluff. You can easily burn her Pokemon to ashes (well, they'll only faint) with a fire Pokemon. Beat her to get $4,700, TM 19 - Giga Drain, and the Rainbow Badge. Celadon City Department Store You can get TM 17 - Protect only at the Celadon City Department Store for a price of $3,000. Celadon Game Corner If you want to gamble, now's the time to do so at the Celadon Game Corner. TM 15 - Hyperbeam for 7500 coins and TM 32 - Double Team for 1500 can only be bought here. Buy it if you want, don't if you don't want to buy it, and let's move on. Celadon Mansion At night, if you go to the Celadon Mansion, you'll find TM 03 - Curse. Fuchsia City A Battle At Fuchsia When you arrive at the gym, you'll see a lot of Janine (Koga's daughter, who took over her father's job). They are all fake, but only one is the real gym leader. To find the real Janine, you must go to the right of the gym, go up, turn left, and go down until you reach the second to last trainer, which is Janine. After you beat her, $3,900 and TM 06 - Toxic are yours. Of course, most importantly, you'll get a Soul Badge. Now, go back to Vermilion City. Diglett's Cave Now that you're in Vermilion City, it's time to head north to Diglett's Cave. But you can't go yet, a huge Snorlax is sleeping, and blocking your way! Now's the time the radio comes in handy. Tune your radio to the Poke Flute station, located on the last bar. Now turn off the radio, and press A. Snorlax will battle you. It's a lv. 50 Snorlax with Rollout and Body Slam! He'll be a great addition to your team, so you better capture Snorlax. After capturing or knocking out Snorlax, go into the cave to battle some Diglett and Dugtrio. Finally, you'll reach the exit, and you'll be at Pewter City. Items * Rainbow Badge * TM 19 - Giga Drain * TM 17 - Protect * TM 32 - Double Team * TM 15 - Hyperbeam * TM 03 - Curse * Soul Badge * TM 06 - Toxic * TM 03 - Curse Rocky Water Pokemon When you arrive at Pewter City, go to the gym. There, Brock will challenge you. This time he has water Pokemon along with his rock-type Pokemon!, so a grass Pokemon would be the best choice. $4,200 is what you get for winning, plus the Boulder Badge. Old Man Gives You Wings Before leaving the city, talk to the old man to get either Rainbow Wing (Silver), or Silver Wing (Gold). In Crystal, you'll get a Silver Wing to capture Lugia at the Whirl Islands. Ho-oh can be captured in Crystal after catching all three legendary dogs, and returning to the Tin Tower. Now, go on to Mt. Moon. Mount Moon Your rival comes and will battle you, a perfect time to gain some more experience. His Pokemon as getting quite powerful. You'll probably notice that the character image changed; Now he's pointing at you. Beat him, and you'll get $4,500. On Monday nights, Mt. Moon will feature some dancing Clefairy. When you go up to them, they'll scatter. Go up to the rock where they were at and you'll find a Moon Stone. Now head south to Pewter City, and keep on going south until you reach Cinnabar Island. Do not stop at Viridian City because the gym leader isn't in there, or Pallet Town. Items * Boulder Badge * Rainbow Wing (S) * Silver Wing (G & C) * Moon Stone Cinnabar Island When you arrive at Cinnabar Island, talk to the only person you'll find. It's Blue, or Gary. He'll tell you that he was the former champion (until Red defeated him), and to go to Viridian City later on to challenge him in a match. From Blue, you'll find out that there was an erruption, and Blaine's gym was destroyed. He has relocated to Seafoam Island. So go there now! Seafoam Island There isn't much to do at Seafoam Island, except challenging the gym leader, Blaine. He only has three fire Pokemon, and is more than easy to beat with a water Pokemon. You'll earn $5,000 and a Volcano Badge for winning. Now go to Viridian City to have your last gym battle. Viridian City A fat fire-breather (they're always fat) will tell you that he had a weird dream, and will give you TM 42 - Dream Eater. A great place in Viridian City for you to level up your Pokemon would be the Trainer House (next to the PokeMart), open daily. Go downstairs and talk to the lady. Answer yes, and you'll find a trainer who looks exactly like you. He has a Meganium, Typlosion, and Feraligatr, all lv. 50. Note that you may only battle one time in a day. The Final Gym Go to the Viridian Gym to take on Gary, known as Blue in the game. He took over Giovanni's place as the gym leader. He uses different types of Pokemon, so it's harder to win compared to the other gyms. After getting the Earth Badge from Blue, head straight to Pallet Town. Pallet Town Talk to Professor Oak at his lab (if you have all eight Kanto badges), and he'll open up a path that leads to the Silver Cave, also known as Mt. Silver. Go to Viridian City as head east, towards the Indigo Plateau. The path previously blocked by two men is now open. From here you can continue out the door to the Silver Cave or go to Indigo Plateau to fight someone that will be a lot easier compared to the battle you will be having inside the Silver Cave. After battling your rival back at Mt. Moon, he'll battle you again, anytime before going up the stairs in the Indigo Plateau. As you are going to Silver Cave (Route 28), you will be encountering some powerful wild Pokemon in their 40s (level, I mean). Right before you enter the Silver Cave, heal your Pokemon or switch Pokemon at a Pokemon Center right in the middle of nowhere. Steel Wing To the right of the Pokemon Center, there are two cut-able bushes. Cut them, go on, and you'll reach a house. Inside is a lady who will give you TM 47 - Steel Wing. Now, go back past the Pokemon Center, and inside Silver Cave. You'll need Flash to see. Items * Volcano Badge * TM 42 - Dream Eater * Earth Badge * TM 47 - Steel Wing Battling Red Inside the Silver Cave (Mt. Silver), you'll be battling Red, or Ash. Your Pokemon better be higher than lv. 60, or get ready to be toasted (drowned, crushed, paralyzed). Go around the cave, and you'll find Red just standing there. Talk to him, he'll say ... , and he'll be battling you. His Pokemon are very, very strong, especially his Snorlax. Below are some good strategies to keep in mind as you battle his Pokemon. Pikachu - A few Rollouts can destroy Pikachu with three hits. Remember, I'm talking about lv. 60 Pokemon or up. Venusaur - One word: Flamethrower. Charizard - A water attack, or Rollout. Blastoise - Grass or electric Pokemon will show this dude some power. Snorlax - A fighting Pokemon, better results with Dynamic Punch. Espeon - A ghost Pokemon should beat this guy. After beating all six of his Pokemon, credits will roll, and you'll get the Game Over screen. You can play on and on if you want, and capture many Pokemon, and complete your Pokedex. Thank you for reading Pokemon Dream's Gold/Silver/Crystal Walkthrough, and I hope that you've had fun.
