Walkthrough
This walkthrough is for pokemon red/blue but we think it goes as well for the yellow version!
-----------
First off, name your character, then your rival. You will find yourself in
your room first. To get a free Potion, withdraw it from your computer. Next,
go outside, you don't need to talk to your mom, and head north into the
grass. You will soon be stopped by Professor Oak, who talks to you and warns
that there are dangerous wild Pokémon out there. So, he brings you to his
laboratory where his grandson, and your rival, are. Professor Oak gives you
a choice to pick three Pokémon, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander.
If you chose Charmander, your rival will choose Squirtle. If you chose
Squirtle, your rival will choose Bulbasaur. If you chose Bulbasaur, your
rival will pick Charmander.
After picking the Pokémon you want, head out of the laboratory, but your
rival will stop you, challenging you to a battle. It really doesn't matter
if you beat him or not.
Next, go back to the grassy area where Professor Oak stopped you and head on
north to Viridian City.
In Viridian City, go to the Mart and the store clerk inside will tell you to
come by him. He'll give you Oak's Parcels, where you have to give them back
to Professor Oak. Head all the way back south to Pallet Town and give them
to Oak. There the professor will reward you with a Pokédex. To get the map
of the world, go into Gary's house (just north of Oak's place) and talk to
his sister.
I suggest you buy some Poké Balls when you head back to Viridian City because
you should capture some Pokémon before going to the first Gym. After doing
so, head north through the Viridian Forest.
When outside of the forest, you should be just about ready to fight Brock.
If you have chosen Bulbasaur or Squirtle, you should fair welll against him,
unless you haven't learned Vine Whip or Water Gun. Brock uses Rock and Ground
type Pokémon, which are weak to Grass and Water Pokémon.
After defeating Brock, head east to Mount Moon. Inside, you must make your
way through the small maze, be sure to get the Moon Stones inside. At the
end, you'll encounter a nerd. He challenges you to a battle, and of course,
you should beat him with ease. After defeating him, you'll have a choice to
get either the Helix Fossil or the Dome Fossil. The Helix contains an
Omanyte, while the Dome contains a Kabuto. However, to change them into
actual Pokémon will be explained later.
Exit Mount Moon and head east to Cerulean City. Go into the Gym and fight
its leader, Misty. She uses Water Pokémon, so use Electric Pokémon for a
quick win. Now, head north and beat everyone on the bridge. Then, head east
into the house to meet Bill. If you talk to him, he's dressed as a Pokémon
However, follow his directions and he'll give you the S.S. Ticket, allowing
you to board the S.S. Anne in Vermilion City. So, head south of Cerulean
City and through the underground passageway, continuing south, to reach
Vermilion.
In the S.S. Anne, be sure to talk to the Captain and receive the HM for Cut.
Before you go to get the Cut, your rival will confront you. Beat him and
get the HM. Now go into every room and get all the items and leave.
Now you have the Cut HM so use it on one of your Grass Pokémon. When you go
back into Vermilion City use the Cut and go beat Lt. Surge with his Electric
Pokémon. Once you're finished go to one of the houses and talk to a man who
will bore you with some speech and he'll give you a coupon for a bike. So
now head back to Curelean City and get the bike. Don't forget to trade a
Spearow for a Farfetch'd with one of the children in Vermilion City.
You should go east and into Diglett's Cave to catch Diglett and Dugtrio if
you want. You will pop up back near if you went through the entire Diglett's
Cave. Pewter City. Since you have the Cut, it will be handy. Remember to
have an Abra and trade it for the Mr. Mime.
If you didn't want to go through the cave, go east and build Levels. When
you reach the house, if you have collected 30 Pokémon, Proffessor Oak's Aide
will give you the Item Finder. You will also notice if you try to cross east,
a Snorlax is blocking the way. There isn't a way to move him til later.
Since you have found there isn't a way to go anywhere, head back to Curelean
City and go east to the Rock Tunnel. Be sure that you've found the HM Flash
from Professor Oak's Aide. If you somehow managed to make it through the
cave without the Flash, like I did once, you will end up going to Lavender
Town. Be sure to catch the Machop and Onix in the Rock Tunnel.
At Lavender Town there will be a lot of fuss over a Cubone's mother dying.
Ignore this for now and head west to Celadon City. Here you can buy almost
ANYTHING from the Mart. Head to Game Center and talk to the Rocket member
in front of a poster. He will fight you and when you beat him, he'll run
crying to his boss. Once again more fighting and so on. You will need the
Lift Key to use the elevator. When you beat the Rocket's Leader, Giovanni,
he will give you the Silph Scope. Now it's time to go to Lavender Town.
Go into the Pokémon Tower and catch the Gastly, Haunter, and Cubone. When
you reach the top you will fight the Cubone's mother, Marowak. Then fight
Rocket members again and save the man named Mr. Fuji. By saving him he will
award you with the Poké Flute to wake up Snorlax.
If you want to, head back to Celadon City and play some Slots. But first you
will need the Coin Case, get it from a man who says he lost all of his money
because of the Slots. Collect coins from people and behind them in the
Game Center and play some Slots. It will seem rigged, but sometimes it gives
a lot. It took me a while to gain the Coins. The Pokémon that is really
worth getting is the Porygon. Remember to go behind one of the bigger houses
and get an Eevee. Also get some stinken drinks from the vending machines!
These drinks will allow you to pass through those roads with the dumb thirsty
guards! Sheesh. If you are ready, fight Erika and her Grass Pokémon in the
Celadon City Gym. Lastly, use the Poké Flute, if you have it already to
wake up the Snorlax. You will need an Ultra Ball to capture him! Get the
Ultra Balls and Fuchsia City.
If you didn't do that then head south of Lavender Town and you will see
the Snorlax sleeping. I don't know about you, but I killed this one because
a Great Ball won't catch him. There's a lady in a hidden house with the HM,
Fly. Now head southwest to Fuchsia City and play in the Safari Zone! Here
is a list of most of the Pokémon in the zone: Nidoran Male, Nidoran Female,
Nidorino, Nidorina, Paras, Parasect, Venonat, Venomoth, Psyduck, Slowpoke,
Doduo, Krabby, Exeggcute, Ryhorn, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Scyther, Tauros, and
Dratini. You will need the Super Rod to get most of the Water Pokémon. The
Dratini is only available in the Area 2 lake. Be sure to find the Secret
House and the Warden's Tetth to gain the HMs, Surf and Strength. Also buy
some Ultra Balls because you'll need them later for catching the rare birds.
When you finished this fun experience, head off to Saffron City and fight
the stupid Silph Co. They have merged with Team Rocket and so this is just
the most irritating part in the game. If you're having trouble finding the
Card Key, it's on the 5th floor. The maze is pretty hard until you find
that one teleporter that brings you to your rival. Fight your rival and beat
him. Once that's done, talk to the Silph Employee. He will reward you with a
Lapras. Then go on and fight Giovanni again. Talk to the President of Silph
Co. and he will give you the Master Ball! This Poké Ball catches any Pokémon
no matter what. Save it for Mewtwo though!
Once that's done, head on to the smaller Gym. Here are some Martial Artists
and they fight you. Beat their leader and you will get a choice of either
a Hitmonlee or a Hitmochan. Then head on to the bigger Gym and fight Sabrina
and her Psychic Pokémon.
Now head back to Fuchsia City and fight Koga and his Poison Pokémon at the
Pokémon Gym. Be sure that in one of those crossing houses with the dumb
guards, there will be another one of Professor Oak's Aides. If you have 50 or
more Pokémon he will award you with the Exp. All. Once that's done, be sure
that someone has the Surf HM equipped. Surf down southwest to the Seafoam
Islands.
At the Seafoam Islands you will need to push boulders, using Strength, to
lower the water's Level. Once you got that done, go and fight Articuno, one
of the strongest Pokémon whos type is Ice. To catch him you will need to get
him down to below 10 HP and put him to Sleep. Leave the Seafoam Islands and
head to Cinnabar Island.
Finally the Laboratory is here. If you have either the Helix or Dome Fossils
and the Old Amber (from Pewter City) you can give it to one of the
Scientists. Once again you get an Omanyte from the Helix Fossil, a Kabuto
from the Dome Fossil, and an Aerodactyl from the Old Amber. Then go to the
larger building on the island. Here you will need to find the Secret Key,
which allows you to open the Gym which is locked. Mess your way through
the switches on the Pokémon statues and get the key. Go to the Gym and fight
Blaine who uses Fire Pokémon. Finish him and head back to Viridian City.
Wonder what's going on here? Well go to the Gym, it was previously locked.
Now you will fight your way through some tough Trainers and fight the Gym's
Leader, who is none other than Giovanni. After beating him, he'll say that
Team Rocket is over and he'll devote his life to the study of Pokémon. Now
that you've gotten all 8 Badges, you can go and contend in the Pokémon
League.
But first, you should go to the Power Plant and catch Zapdos. The Power
Plant is located near the Rock Tunnel. You will need a Pokémon with Surf
to get there. In the Power Plant there are many Electric Pokémon. Make your
way through finding items (some are Voltorbs and Electrodes) and soon you
will run into Zapdos. To catch him you will need to put him to Sleep and
use an Ultra Ball to catch it, same strategy as Articuno. Now head back
to Viridan City.
Head to the west and your rival will run into you. He'll challenge you and
get ready for a fight. Beat your rival and then go to the large building. As
you pass people, they'll ask for the Badges. Show them and continue to the
north. Here's a setting like a cave where you have to use Strength again to
move the boulders onto those buttons. Make your way through the cave and
to the Indigo Plateau.
Here is the last stop for items and to heal and change Pokémon! Get the
best of them and get ready for a big fight! The Elite Four is next and they
consist of Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance. First you will have to fight
Lorelei's Pokémon. They are Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Jynx, and Lapras
in that order. Next is Bruno who has Onix, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Onix, and
Machamp in that order. Following is Agatha who has Gengar, Golbat, Haunter,
Arbok, Gengar in that order. Last is Lance who has Gyarados, Dragonair,
Dragonair, Aerodactyl, and Dragonite in that order. You've beat them?
Congratulations! You have defeated the Elite Four and you're now a Pokémon
Master! But wait, someone has beaten them already and is the Pokémon
Champion. It's your rival. Head on into the next room and kick his buttocks.
He has Pidgeot, Alakazam, and Rhydon. He has three more, but let me say
this. It matters on what he chose in the beginning. If he chose Bulbasaur,
you fight Gyarados and Arcanine. If he chose Squirtle, you fight Arcanine and
Exeggcutor. If he chose Charmander, you fight Gyarados and Exeggutor. When
you beat the two, you fight the Pokémon he chose at the beginning. Good luck
against him! When you beat him, Professor Oak will come and congratulate you
and off you and your Pokémon go into the Hall of Fame!
Wait! Don't turn off the game! Remember the blocked cave in Cerulean City?
Go there and get Mewtwo, the strongest Pokémon in the game. Then do whatever
you want with the game. Get all 150 Pokémon by evolving, trading with
friends, and catching them. When you accomplish that, you will get some
kind of certficiate from a guy in Celadon City.
