Franchise. It Orgintaed from an anime, by the name of pokemon (Obvisously...) which followed the story of a young boy called Ash who traveled his Continent (And later the world) collecting monsters called Pocket Monsters, hence the shortened name, Pokemon. The game gave game people everywhere the chance to step into a the shoes of a person not much different from Ash/ It follows your quest to become a Pokemon Master and to collect all Pokemon, which is impossible unless you have both versions of the game, Red and Blue. o===============================================================================o | Walkthrough | o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Contents | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------o-----o |Getting Started..........................................................|[001]| |Pallet Town..............................................................|[002]| |Route 1..................................................................|[003]| |Virdian City.............................................................|[004]| |Pallet Town..............................................................|[005]| |Virdian City.............................................................|[006]| |Route 22.................................................................|[007]| |ROute 2..................................................................|[008]| |Virdian Forest...........................................................|[009]| |Pewter City..............................................................|[010]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Getting Started [001]| o===============================================================================o To be honest, I really don't think that you need a guide to get you through this part of the game. All it is a prequel to the game. Here all you need to do is name your character and your rival. After that you gain control of you character and can finally start playing. o===============================================================================o | Pallet Town [002]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Find Prof. Oak | |Get your first Pokemon | |Complete your first battle | O===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Available Pokemon | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Bulbasaur | |Charmander | |Squirtle | o===============================================================================o Once you gain control of your character you should head to the north eastern corner of the room and exit down the stairs. When your down here you should talk to your mother. She tells you that Prof. Oak is lookin for you next door. So head south down on the door mat and leave the building. Go east and into the building there. Talk to your rivals sister and she will tell you that Prof. oak and your rival are at the lab. So head out of the house and go south to the large building there. When your in the building head to the north of the room and talk to your rival there. He tells you that Prof. Oak isn't there. Since Prof. Oak is no where to be found, head back into the town. Head to the far north of the town and go into the grass. As you do Prof. Oak will finally appear and stop you, telling you that it's not safe to go into the tall grass. After automatically following Prof. Oak back to his Lab, a cutscene will occur. Read the convosation that happens here. You can now choose your first Pokemon. Think carefully, because this is the only place, apart from trading and cheat codes, that you can get these Pokemon. Here are some pointers for early on in the game which you might want to think about. Bulbasaur - Plant - Can beat the first two Gym leaders pretty easily. Charmander - Fire - Takes some training to beat Brock, and gets owned by Misty Squitle - Water - Beats Brock extremely easily, on even grounds with Misty Despite his disadvantages, I choose to use Charmander, due to the fact that when you fully elvole him into Charizard, he will kick the ass of any Pokemon in your way. Ok so thats two out three tasks completed. The final task is to win a battle. This is provided by your rival. When you attempt to leave the Lab, he will challenge you. This battle is an easy one. If you win then your Pokemon will level up. O===============================================================================o | Battle: Rival | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Pokemon: Opposite of your choice (Lvl 5) | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Stratergy: | |As I said this is an easy battle. All you need to do is to attack. He will | |Staus attacks on your weaken either your attack of defense, but just fight | |through them. | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Reward: 175 Credits | o===============================================================================o Well done, you just finished your first battle. No matter the result of the battle, you will progress. Be careful though, if you lose in the future, you will be sent back to the closest pokemon center. So after the battle you can finally leave this town behind and progrees on to the next. If your Pokemon get really hurt return home and Mom will heal your pokemon. Head north to the grass that Prof. Oak stopped you in before. o===============================================================================o | Route 1 [003]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Available Pokemon | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Pidgey | |Rattata | o===============================================================================o Now we are finaly on the way to the next town. Here you will be randomly attacked by Wild Pokemon while your are in the grass. Don't worry though, the Pokemon here are weak. Its also an idea not to over train just yet, as you could kill the wild Pokemon in one hit, which means you can't catch them. First of all you need to head to the west until you see an opening that you can go up. There should be a guy in the opening here. If you talk to him he will give you a free potion. Sadly its the last one in the PokeMart in the new city that we will soon be at. After talking to the guy head east into the next patch of grass and then head north to the next clearing. Here you will see some steps to the west. Head up these into the next clearing. Head west here and then north through the two patches of grass here. You should then see a passage north, take this and you will be in the next city. o===============================================================================o | Virdian City [004]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Head North out of town | |Visit the PokeMart | o===============================================================================o Welcome to Virdian City, the home of the first Gym that you will encounter. First thinh that you should do is to go to the Pokemon Center and heal your Pokemon. This is the typical thing to do after you arrive to a new town/city. After your fully healed, head to the very north of the City. You should see a guy laying on the floor here. If you try to get past you, he'll stop you. What a twat. So the only way to go is west. So head south and then west. When you get a chance, go north. There is a smaller tree here (One that you can cut down later on in the game). If you press A next to it, you'll find a potion, nice! We'll check out the west of this point later on. Now to the North East of the Pokemon Center you will find the PokeMart. You need to go in here and talk to the guy behind the counter. he will tell you that you have to take the package to Prof. Oak. Back to pallet town! On the way back, if you want to keep away from fights, head to the west and drop of the ledges. This will get you back home faster and will also ensure that your Pokemon is not to powerful to catch new ones. o===============================================================================o | Pallet Town [005]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Visit Prof. Oak | |Get a World Map | o===============================================================================o Wwelcome home. Remember to heal at your Moms houes if you battled on the way bacl here. When you've done this you should go see Prof. Oak in his Lab. While talking to him your rival will rudely interrupt you. After the convosation you will be given a Pokedex. Now you can finally start catching willd Pokemon and add them to your party. You remember where your rivals house is? Well go there and talk to his sister. She will give you World map. You can now see where everywhere is. Coolio. When you have this, I guess it's time to return back to Virdian City, after all it is the only place that you can go. o===============================================================================o | Virdian City [006]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Head north out of the City | |Check out the PokeMart | |Head West out of the City | |Check out the Gym | o===============================================================================o So we can finally catch pokemon, but how do we do it? Well first thing first, head to the PokeMart and stock up on Pokeballs. If you don't know how to catch Pokemon, head up to the north and talk to the guy who wouldn't let you past. If you do then it's nearly hunting time. Head north past the guy who wouldn't let you past and you'll see a cut eas with a big building there. It's the first Gym that you will see. Sadly the doors on it are locked. So now its time to catch some Pokemon. Here's my list of what to catch around here: Pidgey - Route 1 Nidoran M - Route 22 Spearow - Route 22 o===============================================================================o | Route 22 [007]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Available Pokemon | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Spearow | |Rattata | |Nidoran M | |Nidoran F (Appear to be Rare) | |Pond Pokemon (Update Later) | o===============================================================================o This is an optional place to go, but I think that its a great place to train up. Stay in the grass area here until you have at least two pokemon at level 8. When you have accoplished this head allong the path in the north to battle against your rival again. O===============================================================================o | Battle: Rival | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Pokemon: Pidgey Lvl 9 | | Starter Pokemon Lvl 8 | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Stratergy: | |This battle is a bit tougher than the last one against him. He'll use a Pidgey| |as his opening pokemon. Its a bad Idea to use a Bird pokemon Against it as the| |attacks will be less effective against it. The next Pokemon will be his | |starting Pokemon. Since your starting will be weak against its elemental | |attacks, use a different Pokemon Against it. | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Reward: 280 Credits | o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Route 2 [008]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Available Pokemon | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Pidgey | |Rattata | o===============================================================================o This is a pretty simple route. All you need to do here is to follow the path around and enter the building at the north of the path. o===============================================================================o | Virdian Forest [009]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Gather Items | |Exit Dungeon | o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Available Pokemon | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Catapie | |Metapod | |Weedle | |Kakuna | |Pikachu | o===============================================================================o Viridian Forest is your very first Dungeon. Hopefully you have some flying type pokemon, as this place is full of Insect type pokemon. If you want any pokemon here, make sure that you catch Catapie or Weedle instead of Metapod or Kakuna as this will complete more of you pokedex and make them easier to train. Also a definate recomendation for anyone who didn't choose Bulbasaur, Catch a Pikachu. First thing that you should do is head: West, North, West amd pick up the Pokeball laying about on the floor. The next thing that you should do is to head back to teh enterance and then carry on east until you can head north. As you do yuo will encouter a couple of trainers. Thankfully they aren't that tough. Of you follow this path straight up north then you will find an antidote on the floor, which will come in handy later, when you pokemon get poisoned. From here you need to head west and then to the south. Keep on following this path until you have a chance to go west and east, first head east and grab the potion, then follow the West path and fight teh final trainer here. After defeating them head to the north and exit the forest. nOw your on Route 2 again. Exit the ROute in the north east and enter the next town. o===============================================================================o | Pewter City [010]| o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Tasks | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Get the First Badge | o===============================================================================o Now its time to get your first pokemon League Badge. But first of all you need to heal your pokemon. I recomend that you have A Bulbasuar that knows Vine Whip and Leech seed, A squirtle that knows Water Gun and Bubble, or a Butterfree that knows Confusion. If you don't have any of these, you should have a couple of Pokemon at level 10+ by now. So after healing you need to head North, West, South then East, Going as far as possible with out hopping down on the ledges or going up any steps. Now you should see the enterance to the Gym. Head through there. You now have two options, either head striaght up and get more money and EXP or head behind the trainer. If you fight him, make sure that your fully healed before you fight Brock. O===============================================================================o | Battle: Brock | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Pokemon: Geodude Lvl | | Onix Lvl o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Stratergy: | |Hopefully you listened to my advice and have one of the three pokemone that I | |recommended above. Geodude is really easy fight. All that he will do is | |attack you with Tackle or boost its defense with Rock Curl. All you need to do| |is attack relentlessly. THe next Pokemon, Onix, is a little tougher. Onix | |Uses an attack called Bide, which takes the damage that you gave it, doubles it| |and sends it back at you. Teh best thing to do here is to either kill it fast | |or to use defenseive moves such as Growl or Tail whip, that way you won't take | |any damage. | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Reward: Boulder Badge | | TM 34 (Bide) | | Missed the Credits (Email me with the amount please) | o===============================================================================o o===============================================================================o | Version History [VHIS]| o===============================================================================o 1.0 - 17/02/2010 - Began the Guide (First Badge)
