Walkthrough
Start by turning on the game. You will see 2 sentences. "New Game" and "Options". Click on new game and an intro to welcome you to the world of Pokemon will begin. You will then be asked to "Set The Time". Select the hour (left picture), then "Confirm" it. Select the minute, then also "Confirm" it.
Throughout the game, the set-up process especially, you will often be asked to confirm your selection with a screen like the one above (on the right). Remember, the Japanese word on top means "Yes" and the one at the bottom means "No".
To begin the game, choose your name. The menu shows "New Name" with which you must input your choice of name as shown on the right, or choose from any of the given names - "Silver", "Kamon", "Tooru" or "Masao". Note, however, that in the Gold Version, the names are different - they are "Gold", "Hiroki", "Tetsuo" and "Takashi".
You are at home and the first thing you do is log onto your computer.
You go downstairs and your mother asks you what day it is. You bid her a fond farewell, tell her you'll take good card of yourself and you set off on your journey.
Your Pokemon adventure begins in your very own Wakaba Town.
And before you set off, these are what you should know about the game's menu system. "Back-Pack" - This is where your items will be stored for easy access.
"PokeGear" - Check on time or make calls (the screen below shows "call home")
"Your Data" - Check your ID number, your available money, logged time and gym leaders and badges.
"Report" - Your status and to save your game.
"Options" - To adjust message speed, etc. "Exit" - To exit menu system.
Choose your starting Pokemon from Professor Utsugii. There's Hinoarashi, Waninoko and Chicolita. Then when you're all set, confirm your choice. Prof. Utsugi will now explain to you that the machine in this lab is connected to the Pokemon Centre healing machine. You walk out and his assistant gives you a healing potion. What you must do now is go to Prof. Oak and bring back the egg that was discovered to Prof. Utsugi for research.
You now have Pokemon on your menu system.
You also have Porfessor Oak's phone number in your memory dial.
The statistics of your Pokemon are categorised in 3 different pages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let The Battle Begin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are now ready to explore the town. There will be random battles to encounter and you can either choose fight or capture or run. In the battle screen below, the top bar you have indicates your HP while the bottom bar indicates your experience. Once the experience bar is full, your level increases.
To safeguard your Pokemon from fainting, you can equip it with "Mochimono", a potion. To do so, go to your Pokedex, select which Pokemon you'd like to have equipped and simply do so. Only then will your Pokemon automatically regain HP during a battle. Remember, you will still not be able to catch any Pokemon until you get your first 5 Pokeballs from Prof. Utsugi's assistant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explore
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many places to explore and things to do now.
Head left through "ROUTE 29" to "YOSHINO CITY OF WAKABA TOWN" and have your Pokemon healed. Should you talk to the old man standing near the Pokemon Centre, he will give you a short tour and a "TOWN MAP".
Next, head north through "ROUTE 30" to "KIKYOU TOWN" where Prof. Oak is. The first PokeGym is also here. Prof. Oak gives you the egg and a Pokedex and then he leaves for Kogane City's radio tower. You stay the night, heal your Pokemon and go on your way. As you step out of Prof. Oak's lab, your phone rings. It's Prof. Utsugi asking you to hurry back because something terrible has happened.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back At Lab
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You give Prof. Utsugi the egg that Prof. Oak has handed to you. As you head on out, Prof. Utsugi's assistant gives you some instructions and hands over 5 Pokeballs which you keep in your backpack.
With Prof. Utsugi's assistant's instructions, you go in search for the girl you just fought on your way back here. Apparently, she has stolen a Pokemon from the Utsugi Research Lab
As you move west, you will meet a boy who will teach you how to catch Pokemon.
Now that you know how to do so, when you meet a Pokemon that you want, you can get your Pokeball from your backpack and use it for capture. There is an new feature in Pokemon Gold and Silver which wasn't present in the other Pokemon games. Notice the Pokeball icon next to the Pokemon's name (in the picture on the right)? This indicates that you have already got this Pokemon in your Pokedex.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving On
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now head north and gain more experience points and money by battling the many Pokemon Trainers along the way.
You'll even exchange telephone numbers with a boy called Gorou, a Rattata fan.
Your next stop, "KURAYAMI-MOUNTAIN CAVE" on "ROUTE 31". You can't go through it yet as it's pitch dark. So wait till you get HM 5 (Flash).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next Stop
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"KIKYOU GYM" where you will meet "HAYATO" who only has Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Beat Hayato and get a "WING BADGE".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replenish
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the left of the gym is a Poke Shop. Replenish your PokeBalls (as shown belowe) and get more potions and antidotes for your journey. Here's what this store has for sale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evolving
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point in the game, your main character should have evolved. Hinoarashi (Fire) evolves at Level 14.
Out of the Gym, after you've revitalised your Pokemon and bought some potion and antidote replenishments, head to the PokeCentre and speak to the guy standing at the counter. He'll present you with an egg. This is a mystery egg which will be yours to keep and hatch.
Next, go left to "KONTA HOUSE", there, a little boy will trade you Onix.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tower Of Madatsubomi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tower of Bellsprout is your next destination.
Fight your way to the top and you'll get "HM05" Flash.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back In Wakaba Town
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go back to "WAKABA'S CAVE".
Equip your Pokemon with your newly acquired "HM05" Flash.
Then, access your Pokedex.
Select the Pokemon with which you have equipped with Flash. Use Flash and the cave will light up.
By around this time, the egg you have been carrying will hatch and there you have him, Togepy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Fishing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now travel along "ROUTE 32" and enter the Pokemon Centre. In there is a fisherman. Talk to him and he'll give you a fishing rod. Take it
It'll be in your backpack. Equip yourself with it.
Do some fishing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsunagari no Doukutsu (Cave of Relention)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This cave takes you out to "ROUTE 33". Towards the end of the cave, don't forget to take the ladder down and get "WAZA 39" and "DEFFENDER".
Hiwada Town
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ROUTE 33" leads to "HIWADA TOWN" - Home of Gantetsu the maker of various types of Pokeballs. Visit him and he'll ask you to save the town's Slowpokes which are being held captive by Team Rocket.
"YADON no IDO" (Slowpoke's Well) entrance is now open for you to battle it out with Team Rocket.
You win! Gantetsu congratulates you, meets you back home and presents you with a Lure Ball. "YADON no IDO" which is now Slowpoke's Well was previously the den of Team Rocket 3 years ago.
The Gym Leader here is TSUKUSHI and your PokeOpponents - Kakuna, Metapod and Scyther.
Beat Tsukushi of the Bug Gym and you'll get HM 49 which is REZENZOKUGERI - a slash attack, the ability to use CUT and the ability to control Pokemon up to level 30.
You now also have the INSECT BADGE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Rival Again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you proceed west after replenishing your health and potions, you'll meet with you rival again. Beat her and proceed left for a FarFetche'd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get Cut
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FarFetche'd will be in "UBAME no MOR" (UBAME'S FOREST). You'll meet it, it'll fly away again and again until it is cornered.
Once you've got him cornered, a police officer will give you HM 01 - CUT. Equip it, and use it to cut your way out of the forest. Then head north.
Explore the forest for WAZA 02, the go north-west and get WAZA12 at the house.
This is a big city to explore and the cutest Poketrainers I met was this father and son team dressed in Pikachu designed clothes. Unfortunately though, their fighter Pokemon was Buru instead.
Kogane City is where there's a "BIKE SHOP" for you to get a bicycle.
There's even a big "POKEMON SHOP" with lots of floors to explore and things to buy. Before you leave however, don't forget to buy a drink at the top floor.
At "RADIO TOWER", enter and talk to the lady in green on the right. She'll ask you a series of 5 questions and if you get them right, you'll be able to access radio from your Pokegear. The answers to my questions were... Yes... Yes... Yes... No...Yes... No.
"UNDERGROUND TUNNEL" is where you'll find the coin purse for the slot machine game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokemon Breeding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you go to breed Pokemon. Give the male Pokemon egg to the old man, and the female egg to the old woman. Come back in about an hour and the old man will give you an egg for you to hatch. Of course, you'll have to pay the couple for their services.
"AKANE" is the Gym Leader here.
You'll fight Clefairy and MilkTank. MilkTank is one "flirtatious" Pokemon. If the Pokemon you choose to battle against her is male, she'll try to "charm" him so he won't attack her. MilkTank also has a milk potion that enables her to heal herself should her HP get low.
Beat Akane and she refuses to part with her Regular Badge which allows you to use Strength. One of her team members will, however, persuade her into giving it to you and when she does, she also gives you TM 45 which is "Mellow Mellow".
Out of the gym, turn right and enter a house with the flower lady. Talk to her and she'll give you some Squirtle Ointment (Kizu Kusuri) which you'll need later.
UTSUKII" - That's the plant Pokemon that you'll have to fight to clear a path. If you like, you may also catch it for your party. Apparently, Utsukii is rare and hard to find. Can be rather powerful too. You can only fight Utsukii if you use the Squirtle Ointment that was given to you.
After you've defeated or caught Utsukii, go right and talk to a man who will give you TM08. This TM 08 will enable you to crack rocks.
Somewhere along the way, you'll come across a "NATURE PARK". Depending on the day you're there, you may or may not get to take part in the Bug Catcher's Tournament. Tournament days are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Now, you may want to revitalize your Pokemon. Go to the PokeCentre and you'll meet your rival again. No fighting. You'll both have a brief chat and then he'll leave.
The house on the left of the PokeCentre has an "ITEM FINDER" for you to pick up.
In the house that's above the PokeCentre is a place where there are many Kabuki dancing girls, each with their own evolution of Eevee - Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon and the 2 new "black" and "silver" evolution for the Gold and Silver versions - #196 EFUI, or #197 BURAKKI.
Fight all the girls and on your way out and pick up HM 03 - SURF from the man at the exit.
At the temple in the north-west part of this town, you'll meet your rival again. Beat your rival, equip your Pokemon with HM08 and you can break the rocks that are in your way.
Fall down the hole in the middle of the room and you'll get to the bottom where you'll see 3 Pokemon statues come to life. The 3 Pokemon will then jump away. Note: At the bottom, there are 2 pokeballs which you won't be able to take yet.
Next step is the 4th Gym.
MATSUBA is the Gym Leader here. This is one tricky gym. I almost couldn't get in, until Shoji told me of the passageway. Use the pillars and the trainers as your markers and you'll be able to find your way into where Matsuba is. Once there, beat all his ghost Pokemon and get yourself the Phantom Badge.
You'll also get TM 30 - Shadow Ball and get to control Pokemon with levels up to 50.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asagi City
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the house next to the PokeCentre, there is a man that will give you HM04 - Strength.
Go up to the top of the light house. You will see MIKAN, the Gym Leader. She isn't feeling too well and is therefore not in her gym. She asks for some medication.
Now head west and you'll see three boulders. Smash it! And you'll have Pokemon to fight. The next step is to SURF!
Next, equip yourself with SURF and swim west.
TABAN CITY is your next destination. There is not much to see and do here.
The Gym Leader is SHIJIMA.
In the gym, there are boulders that you must move to get to him so equip yourself with STRENGTH.
Beat Shijima and you'll get TM 01 - Explosive Punch. You'll also be able to control Pokemon up to level 70.
You've now earned the SHOCK BADGE.
Before you leave, don't forget to talk to the lady outside the gym for HM 02 - FLY. Now... swim back to ASAGI CITY.
Go up Radio Tower again. You'll see Mikan and her pet Kangashkan. Talk to her, give her the medication then meet her at the gym for a showdown.
Beat Mikan and you'll get TM 23 - Iron Tail. You'll also get the STEEL BADGE.
Head east now and you'll see a fat man. Fight him and several other rivals to level up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choju Town
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You won't be able to enter the gym just yet.
Head north.
You'll see a red Gyrados which you can either beat or capture.
Come out of the water and go to the sign. You'll see Lance and chat with him before he takes off.
You'll meet him at the shop now. Talk to him and he'll open up a trapdoor for you. This is the Team Rocket hideout.
Fight at the first level... then make your way down where you'll meet Lance again. He'll heal your Pokemon.
Lots to see and do and many Team Rocket to fight. Be sure to go everywhere. Check computers, bookshelves.. and pick up all the Pokeballs. Go upstairs... downstairs... explore... and open the first electronic door to the Team Rocket Boss. Defeat him, talk to the bird and get a password.
Open the door to the reactor now that you have the password.
Fight all the Electrodes and when you're done, you'll get HM 06 - Whirl Pool.
Next stop is the gym.
Meet Yanagi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Ice Gym. Meet Yanagi. Beware the ice that's slippery and will try to push you away from him.
Defeat Yanagi and you'll get HM 16 - Numbing Wind. You'll also earn an ICE BADGE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice Cave
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ice Cave is next and here, you'll save several mini-puzzles to solve.
The first of which is a sliding ice-capade.
Next is to push the boulders into the holes on the floor. Then go down and go up to a new town. Don't forget to get HM07 - WaterFall. You'll need it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fusube City
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where the 8th Gym is but you won't be able to enter it just yet.
Heal your Pokemon, equip yourself with HM 02 - Fly, if you haven't already.
And then fly back to Radio City Tower.
The man at the top of Radio City Tower will give you a key after you beat him.
With this key, you can now open the door at the underground tunnel, which was previously locked. Go through the passageway, fight team rocket, unlock the iron doors (it's a random combination), go upstairs and save the man who has been trapped. He will reward you with a KEY CARD.
You come out at the shop.
Back At Radio City Tower
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you can enter the part of Radio City Tower which was previously blocked. Keep going up till you find the male and female bosses of Team Rocket. Beat them and the town will be rid of the rest of 'em as well. Now, you're all set for the 8th and final Gym.
8th Gym - Dragon Gym - Ibuki is waiting for you.
This isn't an easy gym, there's stairs to climb and boulders to move before you reach the gym leader.
You beat Ibuki but she doesn't give you your badge. Apparently, she has lost it.
Next surf to the cave behind the gym. Equip yourself with HM-07 Whirlwind and then eliminate the little whirlpool to find the Pokeball.
Pick up the Pokeball and Ibuki comes to present you with your final badge.
From here on, you have 2 choices. Either go back to Wakaba Town for the Pokemon League. While you're there, don't forget to take your MasterBall from Prof. Utsugi.
Or go to Enju City where the Legendary Bird HouHou is. In Pokemon Silver, Legendary Bird Lugia is in the set of caves to the west of Taban City. You only have one chance to catch either so be careful and if you like, save before the battle.
After you've caught HouHou in Gold and/or Lugia in Silver...
Beat the Elite 4 - Itsuki, Koga, Bruno and Karin - plus The League Master, Lance.
You'll then be entered into the Pokemon Hall of Fame. End credits will roll but all is not over yet. From now, you can explore the improved bits of Pokemon Gold and Silver and revisit the old worlds of Pokemon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S.S. Anne Ticket
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get your S.S. Anne ticket from the Professor back in Wakaba Town. Now get back to Asagi City. Remember the bridge that was previously blocked off? Give the guy on the bridge your ticket and get aboard S.S. Anne. Fight the gym trainers on-board. Find the lost little girl who is with the captain of the ship, fight another one of the sailors, talk to the captain and exit at Vermillion City (old).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monorail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're now in the old world but you find that you may want to switch between the old and new worlds more quickly. Surfing through the waterfalls each time is tedious so try the monorail. To get onto the monorail, you'll need a pass, so visit the girl at the house (also at Vermillion City). Talk to the clefairy inside, then talk to the girl sitting next to it. She'll give you the clefairy doll that you'll have to give to the copycat girl back in Saffron Town. In Saffron Town, give the copycat girl the doll and she'll give you an unlimited ride monorail pass. In the new worlds, the monorail terminals are in Kogane City and Saffron City.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radio Upgrade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may now want to go Pokemon Tower (old world) which has now been converted to Radio Tower for a PokeRadio Upgrade. This would be in Lavender Town, in case you've forgotten. Talk to the man in black with a hat and your PokeRadio will now be able to tune to the PokeFlute Music Station - this station has a very high frequency and you can be sure you'll wake any sleeping Pokemon that's in your way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 More Badges
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuchiba (Vermillion) City - Lt. Surge - Orange (Thunder) Badge.
Yamabuki (Saffron) City - Sabrina - Gold (Marsh) Badge. While here,
be sure to talk to the man in the Power Plant before you leave.
Hanada (Cerulean) City - Misty - Blue (Cascade) Badge
Tamamushi (Celedon) City - Erika - Rainbow Badge.
Sekichiku City - Anzu - Pink Badge.
Nivi (Pewter) City - Brock - Grey Badge. Here at Vermillion City,
you can also go and wake up Snorlax with your upgraded PokeRadio.
Guren Town - Rival - Cream Badge.
Tokiwa (Viridian) City - Gary - Green Badge.
Now go back to Pallet Town and get your Pokedex rated by Prof. Oak. He'll tell you of Shirogane Mountain that is now open to you. Head on over to Viridian City and travel towards Victory Road through a passage that was previously blocked by 2 guards. Out the door and you're at Shirogane Mountain.
You meet Ash and with him are now the most powerful Pokemon in the game. Pikachu (Level 81)... Blastoise (Level 77)... Venusaur (Level 77)... Snorlax (Level 77)... Charizard (Level 77)... and Eefi (Level 73).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You defeat Ash and find yourself out at the Pokemon Center in Shirogane Mountain after another round of credits. Your game is not saved yet. Save it and when you go back later, you'll find Ash no longer there. Good news now is that you can also go back to Nivi City again to get a feather for a chance to catch the other Legendary Bird.
Good Luck!!!
