Here is a Walkthrough that doesn't just tell you where to go, my Walkthrough helps you pick Pokemon teams and helpful tips. Also, to avoid confusion this Walkthrough is only for Pokemon Yellow! My Walkthrough is not split into chapters as it's only about how to get through the map and just gives a few tips. Words that are in Italic are notes and tips. Please only use if you're stuck as walkthroughs do take a lot of fun out of games. Pokemon is a RPG (Role Playing Game) and the biggest thrills of RPG games are the discovery and surprises. The adventure begins in Pallet town, in your bedroom. Walk to the computer and turn it on to get a Potion. To start the adventure you must walk outside the town into the tall grass. Prof, Oak will stop you, then along comes a Pokemon! You get to see Oak catch Pikachu who's at level 5. Back at the lab Oak offers you a Pokeball that has a level 5 Eevee. Gary pushes you out of the way and claims Eevee for himself. Oak will give you Pikachu, save the game because here comes the first fight. The fight should be easy if you just keep using Thunder shock, if you don't win reset the game because Pikachu will be very unhappy with you. If you win your Pikachu will grow to level six. Get your mum to heal Pikachu and then go up Route one. Head to Viridian city and get Oak's parcel from the Pokemart. Go back to Pallet town and give Oak the parcel and you and Gary will get a Pokedex! Before going back to Viridian city your Pikachu should already be at level 8 if not get him to this level. Go to the Pokecenter in Viridian city and heal Pikachu. Go to the Pokemart and buy as many Pokeballs as you can since you're so close to two healing areas you won't need to buy any heals. Now go back to Route one and go to the person standing near the sign. The person will give you a free Potion. Potions restore 20 HP of your Pokemon's health. Now you need to increase your Pokemon's levels if there going to be strong enough to escort you through Viridian Forest. Once this is done go west of Viridian city along Route 22 to have another fight with Gary. If all your Pokemon are at L10, Gary will be easy. Gary has a L9 Spearow and his Eevee is L8 now. Now you can get some good Pokemon from this area. Spearow, Nidoran Male and Female. Mankey (very useful for defeating Brock, it's a must have) and Pidgey. Once you have these 4 Pokemon, put the Nidorans in the PC. Keep Pikachu at the top of the list for now to keep him happy. Go to Viridian Forest after healing your Pokemon to get a new Pokemon. In Viridian Forest, you will find Bug catchers. Fight them all to raise levels. Don't chicken out. You'll find Caterpies and Metapods here. Put your Caterpie at the top and start increasing his levels. He needs to evolve into Metapod and then Butterfree. The last trainer has a L10 Caterpie who should be easy. Get all your Pokemon to L12 to be unbeatable. Heal your Pokemon and head for the Gym. At the gym, beat the trainer who has a Diglett and a Sandshrew. Save before fighting Brock, and put Butterfree at the top of the list. First is Geodude L10. Your L12 Butterfree can beat him with Confusion. After Geodude is defeated, change Pokemon to Pikachu. Onix L12 is easy when his defense is decreased, use Pikachu's Tail Whip until Onix's defense is small or Pikachu faints. Bring out Butterfree and use Confusion until Onix faints. Now it's time to make a choice, you can keep this team or you can get a better harder team. First time I played Pokemon yellow I used only one Pokemon and by the time I got to the Elite four, my Pokemon was only L50. This time I'm playing Pokemon yellow on my computer (downloaded of the internet) and I've got a better squad. On this day of writing my walkthrough I've got six Pokemon all at L66. I know that's low levels but since all six of my Pokemon are at this level there much stronger then one Pokemon at L80. I suggest that you use six Pokemon of different types. If you train your Pokemon to high levels at the start lets say L16 then they will end up getting higher levels at the end. Think about it, it makes a lot of sense, as Pokemon at the start are easier to defeat, spend a few hours of training, it will be worth it. Here's the squad I was using (I've recently restarted my game so my team has changed) Pikachu Pidgeot Victreebel Charizard Gyarados Dragonite (If your wondering what team I'm using now, 7/25/01 I'm using Charizard, Mew, Fearow, Nidoking, Jolteon and Blastoise) You can get Butterfree, Pidgey and Pikachu at the start. Now you've won your first badge it's time to go to your next gym. Get all your Pokemon, roughly to L18 so if your using Pidgey, she will evolve. Exit the town and head along route 3 beating all the trainers. They use Bug Pokemon and a few normal and ground Pokemon. By the time you reach Mt moon, your Pokemon should be at L18. You can find Sandshrew and some high level Pokemon: Sandshrew (catch, as this is a rare pokemon) Rattata, Spearow, and Mankey. Any Pokemon you catch but don't want, put in the box on Pc. The best way to raise Pokemon levels fairly is to put the lowest level Pokemon at the top and when their levels are higher then other Pokemon change them around. In Mt moon, you can find 2 moonstones, a rare candy and 4 different types of Pokemon. Zubat is the most common but can be a pain when they use supersonic. Beating these Pokemon only gives a few exp. Points. Clefairy is very rare. If you see it, catch it, else you want to use this Pokemon later on evolve it with the moonstone. Geodude use Butterfree if you're training one to get exp. Points. Paris catch since these are rare later fight them for a lot of Exp. Points. Team rocket have taken over Mt moon go up every ladder and fight to raise levels. At the third set of ladders is an item ball, rare candy is inside. Go up the ladder and make your way thought the maze. Just before the super nerd is a little path to a dead end at the end is a moonstone. If you can't find it use an item finder later on. Beat super nerd to get a fossil. Dome is for Kabuto and Helix is for Omastar. When you go to the exit team rocket's Jesse and James will ambush you. They use Koffing, Ekans and Meowth all lv14. Exit Mt moon and head to Cerulean city. next page
