Try to leave town, and Professor Oak stops you. Once in his lab, choose a Pokemon when prompted. Charmander - a Fire-type Pokemon Squirtle - a Water-type Pokemon Bulbasaur - a Grass-type Pokemon Try to leave the lab, and your rival challenges you to a fight. Leave the lab, and speak to your mom to heal your Pokemon (she is the equivalent of a Poke Center in Pallet Town) or go North to Route 1. ROUTE 1 Keep out of the tall grass to avoid Pokemon battles for now (unless you wish to increase your Pokemon's strength level, of course). Speak to the first person you see to get a Potion. Onwards to Viridian City. VIRIDIAN CITY Enter the Poke Mart to get Oak's Parcel, and return to Pallet Town. You can hop over the low hedges to avoid the grassy areas. PALLET TOWN Give the parcel to Prof. Oak, and after a brief conversation, he will give you a Pokedex. Speak to your rival's sister to get a Town Map. Now head back to Viridian City. VIRIDIAN CITY To the West is Route 22, where you will find your rival with his Pokemon at Level 9. The gym here won't open until later in the game. Northward to Route 2 and Viridian Forest. Just before Route 22, there is a man behind a bush. Cut the bush and then speak to the man to get TM42 - Dream Eater. ROUTE 2 This route surrounds Viridian Forest, but you can't access all of it until one of your Pokemon knows the Cut move. VIRIDIAN FOREST There are three Bug Catchers here, with their Pokemon at Levels 6 to 9. PEWTER CITY If a Pokemon knows Cut, use it on the bush at the back of the museum, and speak to the guy at the back of the room to get Old Amber. Gym Leader - Brock Geodude L12,Onix L14 Boulder Badge TM34 - Bide You can now use Flash anywhere After defeating Brock, Eastward to Route 3. ROUTE 3 The eight trainers here have Pokemon at Levels 9 to 14. Don't buy a Magikarp at the Poke Center at the end of this route, wait until you can catch one at Vermillion City for free. MT. MOON There are twelve trainers here, their Pokemon are at Levels of 10 to 16. There are two Moon Stones here, the second is hidden in the short passage just before the Super Nerd guarding the Fossils. Store whichever fossil you choose on PC - along with the Old Amber - until you reach Cinnibar Island. Exit the mountain to Route 4. ROUTE 4 In the grassy area at the end of the route are version specific Pokemon (Ekans=Red,Sandshrew=Blue). East is Cerulean City. CERULEAN CITY In the house next to the Poke Center, you will find someone who wants to swap their Jynx for a Poliwhirl. Pop back here when you have nabbed one. You need a Bike Voucher from Vermillion City before you can obtain a bicycle from the bike shop. You need to visit Bill's Cottage before the police officer will move, clearing the way to Vermillion City. To the East is Route 9, but you need Cut to get through. Gym Leader - Misty Staryu L18,Starmie L21 Cascade Badge TM11 - Bubble Beam Pokemon up to L30 obey you ROUTE 24/25 First, you come across your rival, with his Pokemon at Levels 15 to 18. Nugget Bridge has trainers with Pokemon at Levels up to 17. BILL'S SEA COTTAGE Talk to the Pokemon, and then activate the computer program. He will give you the S.S. Ticket in return. Leave the cottage and re-enter. Check the PC to get four pictures for your Pokedex. CERULEAN CITY Enter the house where the police officer is, and go through the hole in the back. Fight the Rocket to get TM28 - Dig. South to Route 5. ROUTE 5 The building in the middle is the Day Care Center. The guy inside will charge you 100 credits, plus 100 credits per level that the Pokemon increases by. You cannot choose which skills the Pokemon forgets when it levels up, however. The large building is the gatehouse to Saffron City, but it is blocked for the moment. Use the building in the corner, and the tunnel to Route 6. ROUTE 6 The Pokemon belonging to the trainers here are at levels of 16 to 20. The Level 20 Butterfree here has Sleep Powder, so stock up on Awakening potions. To the South is Vermillion City. VERMILLION CITY Speak to the guy in the house to the left of the Poke Center to get an Old Rod. Use this in the water outside to hook a Magikarp (this is a good one to leave in the Day Care Center, it evolves into Gyarados - and then learns Bite - at Level 20). In the house directly South of the fishing guru is the Pokemon Fan Club. Speak to its president, and listen to him go on about his Rapidash to get the Bike Voucher. Use this in Cerulean City to get a Bicycle. In the house next to this is someone who will swap their Farfetch'd for your Spearow. To reach the Gym, you will need to Cut the bush that is in the way. The three trainers have Pokemon at Levels of up to 23. The switches to the Gym Leader are in the bins. Press 'A' to search each bin. The second switch is in the bin next to the one that contained switch number one. Gym Leader - Lt. Surge Pikachu L18,Raichu L24,Voltorb L21 Thunder Badge TM24 - Thunderbolt You can use Fly anywhere To the East is Route 11, and the S.S. Anne is to the South. S.S. ANNE The trainers here have Pokemon with Levels reaching 23. Before reaching the captain, your rival appears, with Pokemon at Levels of 16 to 20. Talk to the captain, and he will give you HM01-Cut. When you leave the ship after speaking to the captain, it leaves, so make sure that you have all of the items that you were searching for. ROUTE 11 The trainers here have Pokemon at Levels 18 to 21. At the start of this area is the entrance to Diglett's Cave, which leads to Route 2. At the other end of Route 11 is a gatehouse. Upstairs, speak to Oak's Aide when you have 30 Pokemon to get an Item Finder. The other side of the gatehouse is a Snorlax. You need a Poke Flute to wake it up. ROUTE 2 The guy in the house to the South has a Mr Mime that he wants to swap for an Abra. Further to the South is a building where you find Oak's Aide, who will give you HM05-Flash when you have caught at least 10 Pokemon. There is also a Moon Stone in this area. ROUTE 9/10 At the end of Route 9, Surf the water at the top, and follow it round to reach the Power Plant. Follow Route 9 round to a Poke Center, and the entrance to Rock Tunnel. Route 10 is at the exit to Rock Tunnel. Go West for some trainers, or East for a trouble-free route to Lavender Town. ROCK TUNNEL You don't really need Flash to get through here (you can just make out the walls and ladders), but it is very hard to avoid some of the trainers here. However, not all of the trainers are avoidable. Their Pokemon are at Levels 19 to 25. LAVENDER TOWN The large building on the right is Pokemon Tower, but you can't get anywhere without the Silph Scope. West is Route 8, and Route 12 is to the South. In the South-West corner is the Name Rater, who can rename your Pokemon (not anyone else's Pokemon, though). ROUTE 8 The trainers Pokemon here reach up to Level 26. At the far end is another gatehouse, which is currently blocked. The small building at the top-left holds the entrance to the tunnel that leads to Route 7. ROUTE 7 The gatehouse here will lead you to Saffron City, when the guard has quenched his thirst. West takes you to Celadon City. CELADON CITY Go round the back of the houses to find the back door to Celadon Mansion. At the top is a Poke Ball, pick it up to get an Eevee. At the very top of the Celadon Department Store is a restaurant, where there is a drinks vending machine. Give the girl one of each drink to get a TM. Take a drink to the gatehouse on Route 7 to open up the gatehouses. To the West is another Snorlax (put it to sleep, use Confusion if one of your Pokemon has it, and use plenty of Ultra Balls). Just before the Snorlax, Cut the bush and head up and to the left to find a house. Speak to the person inside to get HM02-Fly. Surf across the water in the city's center and speak to the old man to get a TM which is only for Chansey. Speak to the guy in the top-left of the diner to get a Coin Case, which you need to hold the coins in the Game Corner, next to which is the place where you need to go to cash in your Coins for TMs and Pokemon, including Porygon (which you can't get anywhere else!). Speak to the Rocket in Game Corner to fight him. After he has left, examine the picture to flip the switch to gain access to Team Rocket HQ. Gym Leader - Erika Tangela L24,Victreebel L29,Vileplume L29 Rainbow Badge TM21 - Mega Drain L50 Pokemon obey you Can now use Strength anywhere TEAM ROCKET HQ The Pokemon here are at Levels of 17 to 23.

Giovanni Onix L25,Rhyhorn L24,Kangaskhan L25 Silph Scope POKEMON TOWER Your rival is the first trainer that you meet, his Pokemon now at Levels 20 to 25. The other trainers' Pokemon are at around Level 23, but a Pokemon with the Dig skill will see them off. When you reach the fifth level, there is a healing pad in the centre of the level. The L30 Marowak you fight before reaching Mr Fuji cannot be caught. Speak to Mr Fuji at the top of the tower, and he will lead you to his house after a short conversation. Speak to him there, and he will give you a Poke Flute. SAFFRON CITY Give a Poke Doll (bought in Celadon Department Store) to the girl in the North-West house to get TM31 - Mimic. In the South-East is a guy who will give you TM29 - Psychic. Fighting Dojo The leader has a L37 Hitmonlee and a L37 Hitmonchan. When you defeat him, you will be offered either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. Saffron Gym Gym Leader - Sabrina Kadabra L38, Mr Mime L37,Venomoth L38,Alakazam L43 Marsh Badge TM46 - Psywave Pokemon up to L70 obey you SILPH CO. This is the large building in the middle of Saffron City. The trainers have Pokemon starting at Level 25. You will find the Card Key on the fifth floor, in the bottom-right corner. Now go to the third floor, and open the door on the left. Step on the floor tile and fight your rival with Level 35 to Level 40 Pokemon. After the fight, speak to the Silph employee to get a Lapras. Step on the floor tile and make your way to Giovanni. Giovanni Nidorino L37,Kangaskhan L35,Rhyhorn L37,Nidoqueen L41 Speak to Silph Co's President to get a Master Ball. ROUTE 12 The trainers' Pokemon on this route near Level 30. Use the Poke Flute to wake the Snorlax. If you can't catch this one, there is always the one at Celadon City. In the house after it is the fishing guru's brother, who will give you a Super Rod. Onwards to Route 13. ROUTE 13 The trainers' Pokemon here are at Level 30 plus. South to Route 14. ROUTE 14/15 Another set of trainers with Level 30+ Pokemon. At the end of this route there is a gatehouse. Go upstairs to Oak's Aide if you have 50 Pokemon, and he will give you an Exp All. ROUTE 16/17/18 This is the start of the bikers' route the other side of Celadon City's Snorlax, so a bicycle is vital. The trainers' Pokemon here are at Levels 26 to 33. ROUTE 18 The gatehouse at the end of this route has a guy who wants to swap his Lickitung for a Slowbro. FUSCHIA CITY Entering the Safari Zone will cost you 500 credits, and you get 30 Safari Balls for your money. Make your way to the top of Zone 2, and use the bottom-left exit. In Zone 3, you will find the Gold Teeth, and enter the hut in the top-left corner. Speak to the guy in the hut to get HM03 - Surf. Once outside, go to the two houses to the right and enter the house on the left. Give the guy the Gold Teeth to get HM04 - Strength in return. The fishing guru's other brother is in the other house, and he will give you a Good Rod.

The Pokemon that belong to the trainers here are around Level 35. SEAFOAM ISLAND At several points - using Strength - you will need to push boulders down holes, and follow them down to block the path of the water. In the depths of this island, you will come across the legendary Pokemon, Articuno. You only have one chance to catch this one, so save the game before you try! Use the ladders to reach the exit, and onwards to the other part of Route 20, and then Cinnibar Island. CINNIBAR ISLAND In the Research Lab here, give the fossil and old Amber to the scientist to clone Pokemon (Jurassic Park, anyone?). Pokemon House hides the Secret Key, needed to enter the gym. Gym Leader - Blaine Growlithe L42,Ponyta L40,Rapidash L42, Arcanine L47 TM38 - Fire Blast Volcano Badge POKEMON HOUSE The statues scattered around the house when examined reveal switches, which open some doors and close others. On the third floor, drop through the gap in the floor to reach the basement. The key is in the top-left corner of the basement. ROUTE 21 Surf Northwards from Cinnibar Island to Pallet Town. The area of grass just before Pallet hides a Tangela. VIRIDIAN CITY The gym is now open! Make sure that you have your best Water, Grass and Ice Pokemon with you, and make sure that they are at Level 50 AT LEAST. Also, pack plenty of Potions, Revives, etc as it's difficult to get out again.

His Pokemon are now at Levels 45 to 50. You won't get through the following route unless you have all 8 badges, and a Pokemon with the Surf skill. ROUTE 23 Simply head North, hunting for Pokemon in the grassy areas on the way. VICTORY ROAD Use Strength to push boulders onto pressure plates to open the doors. For one of the doors, you must push a boulder through a hole in the floor, and jump in after it. Moltres is on the second floor (don't forget to save the game before trying to catch it!). Exit to... INDIGO PLATEAU Heal up your Pokemon here, and change over any you want to. Stock up on Revives and Full Restores.

UNKNOWN DUNGEON You will find the ultra-rare, ultra-tough Mewtwo in the bottom-right corner. Without the Master Ball, it is HARD to catch it. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES Fire - Rubbish against Fire,Water,Rock,Dragon Awesome against Grass,Ice,Bug Water - Rubbish against Water,Electric,Grass,Dragon Awesome against Fire,Ground,Rock Electric - Rubbish against Electric,Grass,Dragon no damage against Ground Awesome against Water Flying Ice - Rubbish against Fire,Water,Ice Awesome against Grass,Ground,Flying,Rock,Dragon Fighting - Rubbish against Poison,Flying,Psychic,Bug Awesome against Normal,Grass,Rock Poison - Rubbish against Poison,Ground,Rock,Ghost Awesome against Grass,Bug Ground - Rubbish against Grass,Bug no damage against Flying Awesome against Fire,Electric,Poison,Rock Flying - Rubbish against Electric,Rock Awesome against Grass,Fighting,Bug Psychic - Rubbish against Psychic Awesome against Fighting,Poison Bug - Rubbish against Fire,Fighting,Flying,Ghost Awesome against Grass,Psychic Rock - Rubbish against Fighting,Ground Awesome against Fire,Ice,Flying,Bug Ghost - no damage against Normal Awesome against Psychic Dragon - Awesome against Dragon (the other types have no strengths to speak of) TRADING EVOLUTIONS The following can only evolve by trading over to another version of Pokemon : Graveler (to Golem), Machoke (to Machamp), Kadabra (to Alakazam), Haunter (to Gengar) MATURITY LEVELS It is best to leave the Pokemon that need Stones to evolve until they reach maturity e.g. : Clefairy L48, Exeggcute L48, Gloom L52, Growlithe L50, Jigglypuff L39, Nidorina L50, Nidorino L50, Pikachu L43, Poliwhirl L49, Shellder L50, Staryu L47, Vulpix L42, Weepinbell L49 TRADING POKEMON THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP If you want to keep your Haunter, or whatever, just trade back. Your Pokedex will register the traded Pokemon, so will the one belonging to the other trainer. TMs Vs NATURAL SKILLS TM versions of skills will always be weaker than the versions that Pokemon will learn anyway, so if a Pokemon will learn a skill like Thunder, for example, just wait, and save the TM for one that will not normally learn that skill. TRADED POKEMON Pokemon that have been traded will earn more experience points, so make sure that you will have the right badge to control it. ---Thanks---- I would like to thank Rich and Dennis.
