My Pokemon Walkthrough



Pallet Town:
This the starting place of the game. Your mom will tell you that Prof. Oak
wants you. Try to leave the town and Prof. Oak will come get you.
He leads you to his lab, where you will be able to choose your first
Pokemon. There are Bulbasaur, a plant-type Pokémon; Charmander, a fire-type
Pokémon; and Squirtle, and water-type Pokémon. Your rival, Gary, will pick
up another Pokémon which is stronger. When you try to leave, Gary will
challenge you to a Pokémon duel. Beating it will give you a nice boost in
experience(It will raise a level too), and $175, making your money total
$3175 now. Your first pokemon will be level 5 to start with, so if you keep it strong, it will be a very good asset.
Go back to your house. On the PC, you can withdraw a Potion from your
hard drive. Your mom will, starting now, give free rests to you andyour Pokemon.

This leads north to Viridian city. You'll encounter Pidgeys and Ratattas.
Defeat some for experience and try to raise at lease two levels for yourPokemon.
A boy on the way explains that he is a Poke Mart worker at Viridian City,
and he will give you a free Potion as a sample. What a nice guy.

Viridian City
Talk to the Shop clerk and then head back to Pallet Town with the Parcel.
Give it to Prof. Oak and he will give you and Gary each a Pokédex, which is
an electronic encyclopedia. He will tell you of his dream to complete
the pokedex (by capturing/having captured all pokemon in the game) to you.
Gary will act arrogant and walk off, but you can get a Town Map from his
sister, contrary to what he said. Go back to the city.
The gym's doors are locked, and they won't unlock for a very long time
until you've beaten the other 7 trainers in the game. Buy some Poke Balls
and talk to the old man to learn how to capture Pokemon. A boy will talk
about caterpillar Pokemon.
If you go west towards the Pokemon HQ, you will fight Gary. He captured
another Pokemon. After you fight him, he will tell you you need Badges to
go through. Around here, you can also pick up a few Nidorans.

Route 2

Pick up a Pidgey and/or a Ratatta. You can get higher-level ones in the
future, but if you train hard they will grow stronger better than the
higher-leveled ones. You can also get Caterpies and Weedles.

Viridian Forest
On your way through Viridian Forest, you should pick up a Pikachu, a
Caterpie, and a Weedle. Don't get Kakunas and Metapods, since Caterpie and
Weedle will evolve into one eventually. There are a few easy trainers in
the forest, they are Bug-catchers and use bugs, so fire works very well on
them. The first has a pair of caterpillars at Lv. 6 (Caterpie/Weedle). The
second has 2 Lv. 7 Weedles and a Lv. 7 Kakuna. The final trainer has a
Lv. 9 Weedle.
There is a Poke Ball, Anidote (comes in handy from the Weedles), and
a Potion in the forest. Makes nice additions to your arsenal.

Pewter City
The Gym here starts out with a JR. Trainer with a Lv. 11 Diglett and
Lv. 11 Sandshrew. You probably never met these two, but a good hint is
that Diglett will be strong against your Pikachu, so use water on it. Water
also works well on the Sandshrew. Plant does too.
Brock, the Gym Leader has a Lv .12 Geodude and a Lv. 14 Onix, 2 Rock-type
Pokémon. Water works very well on these. Be careful for the Onix's BIND
(a multiple-hit move in which your pokemon is immobile during it) and BIDE,
a move where it absorbs damage for some turns and returns it double. When
it does BIDE, I suggest either beating it very quickly or do non-damaging
attacks like TAIL WHIP or GROWL, so you are debilitating him without
taking damage. If you defeat him, Brock will congraulate you and give you
BIDE, TM 34. I suggest giving it to a pokemon with high hit points,
and it is best used against pokemon with high defense and high offense,
because the damage done doesn't care about the enemy's defense at all.
You can look around the museum, but the $50 it costs is unreasonable,
since you can't get anything there except looking at fossils of
Aerodactyl and Kabutops, two extinct pokemon which you might get later.

Route 3
This leads east from Pewter City to Mt.Moon. Get a Spearow if you want.
But it is very crucial for a collector to pick up a Jigglypuff, since this
is the only place you'll see it. There are also many trainers along the
way for money and experience. I suggest you to train the Pikachu and your
original Pokemon strongly.
You will meet two new kinds of trainers: Youngster and Lass. The former
likes pokemon such as Rattatas, the latter likes "cute" pokemon like
Clefairies and Jigglypuffs.

Mt. Moon
Heal up at the Poke Center. A man will sell a Lv.5 Magikarp to you. It
seems weak but will evolve into the powerful Gyarados at Lv.20. See if it
is worth the $500 he wants. Don't worry if you don't get it, though, since
you can get it later by fishing for it.
Time to walk into the cave! You will meet two new kinds of trainers
(again). Super Nerds who likes nerd stuff like Voltorbs or Magnemites,
and Hikers with rock pokemon like Geodude. There are also many pokemons
in the cave, Zubat and Geodude (weak against
water) are more common than Paras and Clefairies (who are indigenous to
this place).
After walking in, take a left and you'll get TM12, which contains
WATER GUN. Going up will yield a Potion and a Bug-catcher. Now, you can go
east futher into the cave with a few trainers loafing around. Going south
at the fork will let you take a Potion, a Rare Candy (automatic Level
Increase), and an Escape Rope (Lets you go to the last Poke Center).
Under the first stairwell, there is a Rocket (gang members with a variety
of good pokemon), along with a HP-UP that increases a pokemon's HEALTH
permanently. Keep on going, past a Lass with a pair of Lv. 11 plant
pokemon (Bellsprout/Oddish), and go into the second staircase.
Another Rocket is here, guarding TM01 (MEGA PUNCH). You will also find
an Ether hidden in a solitary rock. Going up, left, and finally to
a staircase guarded by a Hiker. Above him is the first piece of the Moon
Stone, so don't forget to get that. Enter the staircase anf fight 3
Rockets in a row and finally a Super Nerd with a Grimer, a Voltorb, and
a Koffing.
Here you can get one of two fossils. You can choose the Helix Fossil or
the Dome Fossil. The Helix Fossil will become Omanyte and the Dome Fossil
will become Kabuto when you take them to the Pokemon Laboratory on Cinnabar
Island.

Route 4
After you cross the last ledge, you are stuck and can not
go back. So take the TM04 on the way first.
Cerulean City (Cascadebadge)
The Gym here is owned by Misty, who has a Staryu and Starmie. Pikachu can
make short work of both of them if you trained it well. (Lv. 20 or 21
recommanded) But watch out for Starmie's BUBBLEBEAM, a strong water attack
that does a lot of damage and may reduce speed. Go ahead and beat her and
get the BUBBLEBEAM TM.
Go north and fight Gary again. He now has a Lv. 18 Pideotto, a Lv. 15
Abra, a Lv. 15 Rattata, and whatever he started with. On the way you will
fight 5 trainers in a row for a prize, only to find out that it was a plan
by TEAM ROCKET to recruit new members. You'll refuse the ROCKET's order
and fight him, getting a Nugget (useless object, sell it for $5000) if
you win. Go east here, through Route 25. You will get the S.S. Anne Ticket
from Bill after a few more trainers. Getting back in, Bill will share
information about Eevee and its evolutions.
You can trade a Poliwhirl for Jynx here. The Jynx can only be gotten this
way. Polywhirls evolve from Poliwags and will be very easy to get in the future.
A guy will tell you the badge's uses. Behind his house is a hidden rarecandy.
You can get Bellsprouts (BLUE) / Oddish (RED) and Abras here. (Route 24
and (Route 25) The Abra is unique to this city, so get one. Authough I
usually get two because one could be traded away later for a Mr. Mime.
Abra only has the TELEPORT move, but when it evolves at Lv.16 to a Kadabra,
it will get more attacks. It is also a good "utility" pokemon because
Teleport can run away from battles and return you to the last Poke Center.
After that, go to the house previously blocked by a policeman. Fight the
ROCKET and he will give you the TM 28. (an excellent TM because it is very
powerful and is useful against electric pokemon as well.) Onward south,
there is a Pokémon Daycare Center. The man there will care for one
Pokémon and raise its level while you are gone for $100 * (1 + no. of
levels it gains). At the end of the road, there is a big building which is
a gate house for Saffron City. At this point, the guard will not let you
through. The smaller building is the entrance of underground passage to
Vermilion City. You can trade a Nidoran (m) for a Nidoran (f) here.


Well..........that's it for now. I'll try to post more later
