In order to help your search, you might want to use the Find (Ctrl+F) feature. i. Game Basics Skip this section unless this is the first time that you've played any Pokemon games.

Pokemon: Nidoking, Dugtrio, Persian, Rhydon, Nidoqueen =============================== A. Pallet Town - The Beginning =============================== The adventure begins. You start out in your room. Before you go down the stairs, you might want to take out a potion out of your PC. Now, head down the stairs and out of the house. If you tried to go to the lab, you'll find out that Professor Oak is not in the lab, and only your soon to be rival. (for convenience sake we shall call the rival as Blue from now on).Now head north out of the town to Route 1. Before you can proceed any further, you'll be stopped by none other than Professor Oak. He will tell you to follow him to the laboratory. Here, Professor Oak would give two pokemon for both you and Blue. You may pick first. Head to the table with three pokeballs on it. On the left, is Bulbasaur a grass Pokemon. On the middle is Squirtle a water Pokemon, on the right is Charmander a fire Pokemon. After choosing your starter, it is your rival's turn to pick his starter. Now that both of you are done, head for the exit. Here Blue will tell you that he wants to battle you. Rival Battle #1 If you choose Bulbasaur: Blue Pokemon: Charmander lvl 5 If you choose Charmander: Blue Pokemon: Squirtle lvl 5 If you choose Squirtle: Blue Pokemon: Bulbasaur lvl 5 This battle shouldn't be too hard. That potion you picked up from the PC will help greatly for this battle. There arenn't really any strategies involved for this battle, since both your pokemon and Blue's Pokemon only knew the basic attack. (Tackle, Scratch, etc). If you win, your Pokemon will gain a level. _____________ /Pokemon Info ================================================================= The Starters ================================================================= Below are the moves that the starter learn: Bulbasaur lvl 16 (Grass/Poison) Tackle - Growl 4 Leech Seed 7 Vine Whip 10 Poisonpowder 15 Sleep Powder 15 Razor Leaf 20 Sweet Scent 25 Growth 32 Synthesis 39 Solarbeam 46 Ivysaur lvl 32 (Grass/Poison) Razor Leaf 22 Sweet Scent 29 Growth 38 Synthesis 47 Solarbeam 56 Venusaur (Grass/Poison) Growth 41 Synthesis 53 Solarbeam 65 Charmander lvl 16 (fire) Scratch - Growl - Ember 7 Metal Claw 13 Smokescreen 19 Scary Face 25 Flamethrower 31 Slash 37 Dragon Rage 43 Fire Spin 49 Charmeleon lvl 36 (Fire) Smokescreen 20 Scary Face 27 Flamethrower 34 Slash 41 Dragon Rage 48 Fire Spin 55 Charizard (Fire/Flying) Wing Attack 36 Slash 44 Dragon Rage 54 Fire Spin 64 Squirtle lvl 16 (Water) Tackle - Tail Whip 4 Bubble 7 Withdraw 10 Water Gun 13 Bite 18 Rapin Spin 23 Protect 28 Rain Dance 33 Skull Bash 40 Hydro Pump 47 Wartortle lvl 36 (Water) Bite 19 Rapin Spin 25 Protect 31 Rain Dance 37 Skull Bash 45 Hydro Pump 53 Blastoise (Water) Rain Dance 42 Skull Bash 55 Hydro Pump 68 ================================================================= Now you've beaten/defeated by Blue, it's time to get starting with your Pokemon adventures. Head North out of the town to route 1. This route is a short one, and there are no trainers at all. You may want to battle the wild Pokemon and levelled up your Pokemon a few level. Soon you'll arrive at Viridian City. =================================== B. Viridian City - A Tranquil Town =================================== Not much you can do here at the moment. The gym is closed, and there's an old man blocking your way at north of the city. Head to the Pokemart. The shopkeeper will tell you that he has a package to be delivered to Professor Oak. Now, head back to Pallet town through route 1. Go to the Professor laboratory, and gives the packgage to Professor Oak. In return, he'll give you a Pokedex. Before you could leave, a familiar face pops in. It's none other than Blue. He is also given a Pokedex by the old professor. Now that you have the Pokedex with you, it's time to capture some Pokemon. In addition to that, Professor Oak will give you the Teachy TV. It contains all the basic information about Pokemon game.Unless you are completely new to Pokemon, this item is almost redundant. Talk to one of the professor aides to get 5 free Pokeballs. Alternatively, you can buy them at Viridian PokeMart at the price of P200. -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------ Viridian Pokemart - Item list | Pokeball 200 | Potion 300 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | ------------------------------ Whether you decided to train or catch some Pokemon, head back to the Viridian City. Head West to pay a visit to the Pokemon Leauge building. There's nothing you can do here at the moment, since you have no badges yet. However, there will be abother battle against Blue. Rival Battle#2 Pokemon: If you choose Bulbasaur: Pidgey lvl 9 Charmander lvl 10 If you choose Charmander: Pidgey lvl 9 Squirtle lvl 10 If you choose Squirtle: Pidgey lvl 9 Bulbasaur lvl 10 Your level should be as high as his Pokemon at this moment. This battle shouldn't be a problem. Now Head back to Viridian City. Head North, and you'll find the old man has awaken from his sleep. Talk to him and he'll show you how to capture a Pokemon. In any case head North to Route 2. You'll arrive in Viridian Forest in no time. =============================================== C. Viridian Forest - Where bugs and Pikachu lurk =============================================== As you enter the forest, you'll see a short cutscene from 1st perspectives. Viridian Forest contains a lot of bug Pokemon, and in addition of that you can also capture a Pikachu. You might want to consider capturing it for later. From here, head to your right and continue on north. There will be some trainers along the way. (mostly bug catcher). The forest are pretty straightforward, and you shouldn't be lost in it. Head for the exit and you'll end up in the other end of route 2. Head North and soon you'll arrive in Pewter City. ================================== D. Pewter City - City of Hard Rock ================================== Head for the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon. By this time your starter should be at least more than level 10. Any lower than that, I would suggest to level it up. Go to the Pokemart and stock up on potions, etc -------- Pokemart| ---------------------------- Pewter Pokemart - Item list | Pokeball 200 | Potion 300 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | Awakening 250 | Burn Heal 250 | Escape Rope 550 | Repel 350 | ---------------------------- You can go for the gym now, or you might fancy taking a look around the town, there's a museum in the city. Once you're done with the sightseeing, it's time for some serious business. Head for the Pewter Gym, and face the junior trainer. You shouldn't be having any problems defeating him if your levels are high enough. Now, talk to the gym leader and a battle will ensue. Pewter Gym jr Trainer Pokemon: Geodude level 10 Sandshrew level 11 Pewter Gym Leader Brock ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Geodude | 12 | | Onix | 14 | ======================== This battle isn't a hard one. If you choose Bulbasaur/Squirtle you have type advantages here. Using your starter alone should be sufficient here. If you win the battle, Brock will give you TM 39 Rock Tomb. In addition to that, you will be given a TM case as well. _________ / TM Case ========================================================================= ========================================================================= The TM Case is one of the new features in this game. Unlike in previous games where you have a specific sections in your backpack for TMs and HMs, your backpack in Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green is divided into three sections. You have the general items backpack for your potions and Rare Candies. The Balls section for all your Pokeball, and lastly the key items section where it contains the items necessary to progress in the game. The TM Case could be found here after you've obtained it. The TM case will allow you to store TM and HM. To use the TM case, just go to the key items section in your backpack, and choose the TM case. ========================================================================= Now heal your Pokemon and head East to route 3. There's another Professor Oak's aide there. He will give you a running shoes. The running shoes will enable you to srint through terrains. It can be used everywhere except inside buildings. To use the running shoes, hold the "B" button and press the directional pad. Here in route 3, you'll find some trainers. Go through the Northern part of the route, and fight the trainers while you're building up your Pokemon levels. Continue on until you see a Pokemon Center. Here, heal your Pokemon for there is another cave ahead. there's a man selling a Magikarp for a "mere" 500 poke. a ripoff, considering Magikarp knew nothing but splash. Of course, if you have the time to train it until it evolves, the investment is worthwhile. In any case it's time to head for Mt Moon. ====================== E. Mt Moon & Clefairy ====================== It's now time to enter Mt Moon. From entrance, head up and turn right. Continue going right until you come to a junction. Take the left path until you can't go anymore, and go down. You will see a ladder leading down here, but do not go down. Go pass the ladder, and continue to follow the path. You should see another ladder with a hiker circling around it. Now use this ladder to go down. From here, follow the path until you see another ladder. You'll end up in a bigger chamber now. Head down the stairs that you see when you emerge from the ladder. There should be a team rocket there. Now, go up the stairs and continue along the path. There aren't any junctions and turns along the way, so just follow the path until you saw another member of team rocket. You're left with no choice but to defeat him this time. Defeat him and proceed on straight. There's a hidden moonstone on the dead-end on the right. Anyway, go straight and fight the super nerd guarding the two fossils. Super Nerd Battle: Grimer lvl 12 Voltorb lvl 12 Koffing lvl 12 An easy battle, if you have Sandshrew, or even Nidoking. Ground attack works well for Grimer and Voltorb. In my opinion, this battle is even easier than the previous team rocket battle. you should have no problem handling the super nerd. After you've beaten the super nerd, you could have one of the two fossils. The Dome fossil could be regenerated into Kabuto and the Helix fossil could be turned into an Omanyte. To revive these two fossils, head to Cinnabar Island. After you've picked up one of the fossils, head left, down the stairs and down the ladder. Continue on, and soon you'll emerge in route 4. From here, it doesn't matter which way you go. However, you might want to head for your right. There are two blackbelts there which could teach your Pokemon Mega Punch and Mega Kick. In any case, head East until you arrive at the next town - Cerulean City ================================ F. Cerulean City - Water Power ================================ Heal your Pokemon, and stock up your items. After that, head for the gym. -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------ Cerulean Pokemart - Item list | Pokeball 200 | Super Potion 700 | Potion 300 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | Awakening 250 | Burn Heal 250 | Escape Rope 550 | Repel 350 | ------------------------------ If you've captured a Pikachu earlier this battle would be perfect for it. The gym itself is pretty straightforward, there aren't any puzzles here. Fight the two junior trainers, and once you're done with them it's time to fight Misty. Swimmer (M) Pokemon: Horsea level 16 Shellder level 16 Cerulean Gym Jr Trainer Pokemon: Goldeen lvl 19 Cerulean Gym Leader Battle: Misty ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Staryu | 18 | | Starmie | 21 | ======================== Two words: Water Pulse. That's pretty much sums up what you are going to face. The Water Pulse attack would be your biggest trouble against them. Staryu is relatively easy, but Starmie is a challenge even for Electric Pokemon if you haven't levelled up enough. Bulbasaur users shouldn't find much problem, although it's good luck to Charmander users if they didn't levelled up high enough. Take no chance and use your strongest attack everytime. After the battle, Misty will give you the Cascade badge as well as TM 03 - Water Pulse. Now you're done with the gym leader, it's time to head north to the Nugget Bridge. Here, you'll fight your rival once more. Rival Battle # 3 Pokemon: If you choose Bulbasaur: Pidgeotto level 17 Rattata level 15 Abra level 16 Charmander level 18 If you choose Charmander: Pidgeotto level 17 Rattata level 15 Abra level 16 Squirtle level 18 If you choose Squirtle: Pidgeotto level 17 Rattata level 15 Abra level 16 Bulbasaur level 18 Nothing too hard here. Pidgeotto could be challenge, but Ratatta and Abra could be taken care of quite easily. As for your rival's starter, you should have no problem if you have a Pokemon with type advantage over them. If you managed to defeat him, you'll get the voice checker. It could be found in the key items section of your bag. It's time for the Nugget Bridge challenge now. You'll fight 5 trainers here. (not consecutively). they should be taken care of quite easily, considering you make it this far. At the end of the nugget bridge, you'll be awarded a nugget. Useless, but it could sell for 5000 in the Pokemart. From the Nugget bridge. Head eastward. There will be a kind of mini maze here with some trainers. You should have no problem getting past them. Moves on until you see a house. It's Bill House. The path behind the house is gone in this game though, so no Bulbasaur Garden, Charmander Field, and Squirtle Lake;). Once you enter the house, you'll see a Clefairy. Talk to it, and it will tell you that he is actually a human (yeah right). In any case, heas for the PC. You have no choice but to help him this time. Soon, a human pops up from the transporter machine - It's Bill!. As a reward for your help, he'll give you the S.S. Ticket. Time for the high seas now. Head back to Cerulean City, go to the house at the North-Eastern corner of the city. Earlier, you might have notice that a policeman was blocking the way. Go inside the ransacked house, and go out through the back door. Here you will fight another Team Rocket member. If you managed to defeat him, you'll get Tm 28 - Dig. Team Rocket Battle Pokemon: Machop level 17 Drowzee level 17 Head south alongside the town to route 5 now. Continue going south until you see a small building on the right. This is the underground pass to Vermillion City. Head down the underground pass, and you'll find yourself in route 6. There not much to do in this route. There's some wild Pokemon and a few trainers. In any case head south until you arrive in a city. ============================================ G. Vermillion City - The Sea and the Surge ============================================ First thing first, you'll notice that you can't go to the gym. You'll need to have to teach your Pokemon cut HM. Now, head to the dock for the SS Anne. If you've gotten the SS ticket from Bill earlier, you should be able to enter the ship. Once you eter the S.S. Anne, head left and take the stairs down. From here head down until you can't go any further and head right. Soon, you'll meet your rival once more, and another battle will ensue. Rival Battle # 4 Pokemon: If you choose Bulbasaur Pidgeotto level 19 Raticate leve l 16 Kadabra level 17 Charmeleon level 20 If you choose Charmander Pidgeotto level 19 Raticate leve l 16 Kadabra level 17 Wartortle level 20 If you choose Squirtle Pidgeotto level 19 Raticate leve l 16 Kadabra level 17 Ivysaur level 20 After the battle head straight to the captain's dock. Here, you'll see the captain vomiting to a trash bin. Walk up to him and talk to him. He'll be grateful for you helping him and as a reward HM 01 is now yours. You might want to stick in the ship a little bit longer, since if you leave now, the ship will set sails. Once you're done, get off the ships and watch as the SS.Anne sails away. Before you proceed any further, you might want to visit the Pokemon Center. Here, there's a girl by the counter. Talk to her to get the VS seeker, The VS seeker is one of the new features in this game. By using this device, you will be able to battle trainers you have fought previously. To use this device, go to your key items pack and select VS seeker near a trainer. Talk to the trainer again, and you'll be able to fight them again. There are no limit on the number of times you can use this device, although each usages require you to walk 100 steps to recharge it. Now that you've got the HM 01. You can cut away the tree blocking Vermillion gym. Head for the gym and defeat the junior trainers. The Gym Leaders room are blocked by two rays of lasers though. To get past to the room you need to press the switch that could be found in the trash bins filling the gym. The location are random, but the second switch is always next to the first switch. Bearing this in mind, it should be easier to solve the puzzle. Once you're done, head to the gym leader room and talk to Lt Surge. Sailor Pokemon: Pikachu Level 21 Pikachu Level 21 Engineer Pokemon: Voltorb Level 21 Magnemite Level 21 Gentleman Pokemon: Pikachu Level 23 Gym Leader Battle: Lt Surge ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Voltorb | 21 | | Pikachu | 18 | | Raichu | 24 | ======================== Ground or Rock attacks work best here. Overall, the battle isn't really that hard. You'll be given the Thunderbadge and TM 24 - Thunderbolt once you defeat Lt Surge. Now with three badges in your hand its time to head for the next town. However, before you leave make sure you check out the Pokemon Fan Club HQ at the Western part of the city. Talk to its president, and you'll be given a bike coupon that you can exchange for a bike in Cerulean Bike Shop.

Lastly, stock up on potions and other healing items. -------- Pokemart| -------------------------------- Vermillion Pokemart - Item list | Pokeball 200 | Super Potion 700 | Potion 300 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | Awakening 250 | Ice Heal 250 | Escape Rope 550 | Repel 350 | -------------------------------- =========================== H.

Below are the price list for the Pokemart. -------- Pokemart| ---------------------------------------- Celadon Pokemart 2nd floor - Top counter| TM 05 1500 | TM 15 7500 | TM 28 2000 | TM 31 3000 | TM 43 3000 | TM 45 3000 | ---------------------------------------- -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------------------- Celadon Pokemart 2nd floor - Bottom counter| Great Ball 600 | Super Potion 700 | Revive 500 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | Awakening 250 | Ice Heal 250 | Burn Heal 250 | Escape Rope 550 | Super Repel 500 | ------------------------------------------- -------- Pokemart| -------------------------- Celadon Pokemart 4th floor| Pokedoll 1000 | Retro Mail 50 | Fire Stone 2100 | Thunder Stone 2100 | Water Stone 2100 | Leaf Stone 2100 | -------------------------- -------- Pokemart| ---------------------------------------- Celadon Pokemart 5th floor - Top Counter| Hp Up 9800 | Protein 9800 | Iron 9800 | Carbos 9800 | Calcium 9800 | Zinc 9800 | ---------------------------------------- -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------------------- Celadon Pokemart 5th floor - Bottom counter| Great Ball 600 | Super Potion 700 | Revive 500 | Antidote 100 | Paralyz Heal 200 | Awakening 250 | Ice Heal 250 | Burn Heal 250 | Escape Rope 550 | Super Repel 500 | ------------------------------------------- -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------------------- Celadon Pokemart Rooftop - Vending Machines| Fresh Water 200 | Soda Pop 300 | Lemonade 350 | ------------------------------------------- In addition to that, the game corner also provides some elusive prizes, items and Pokemon alikes. The game corner is the only way to get Porygon. The Celadon Mansion is another interesting building. Talk to the woman on first floor to get a key items that will let you to go pass the guard at Saffron city. If you tried to enter the mansion from the back door and climb up to the rooftop, you'll be able to get Eevee. There are also two move tutors in Celadon City. One could be found in the third floor of the Pokemart. You can get him to teach your Pokemon Counter. The other move tutors could be found in the house in front of the game corner. Talk to him and he'll teach your Pokemon Softboiled. After you've done all the necessary thing, it's time to head for the gym. Head to the southof the city. There will be a small tree that could be cut. Use cut, and make your way to the gym. The gym itself contains a lot of junior trainers. You might want to battle them for some experience. Remember to stock up on the Antidotes and paralyze heal though, or you'll be making continous trip back to Pokemon Center. Erika the gym leader could be found in the middle of the gym. Once you're done with all the preparations, talk to her. Gym Leader Battle ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Victrebell | 24 | | Tangela | 24 | | Vileplume | 29 | ======================== Burn them if you have any fire Pokemon with you. If you've captured a Growlithe earlier, take advantage of its ember attack. Alternatively you can use psychic Pokemon for both Victreebell and Vileplume, since they are also Poison Pokemon. Once you've beaten Erika, she'll give you the fourth badge and a TM. With four badges in your hand, it's time to head for Fuschia City for fifth badge. Before you leave the city, you might want to visit the house in route 16 (acessible by Cut) to get HM 02 - Fly. Fly will allow you to fly to all Pokemon Centers that you've visited. ======================== K. Onwards to Fuschia ======================== From Celadon, there are two ways to go to Fuschia City. The first way is going by the cycling road. You need a bicycle for this. The other and the harder way, is to go south of Lavender town and travel through the coast to Fuschia City. If you choose to travel by the cycling road, read here: From Celadon City, head west to route 16. Here you will notice a sleeping Pokemon. Remember the Poke Flute from Mr Fuji earlier. Now with Poke Flute, you can awaken this sleeping Pokemon. Approach the sleeping Pokemon and use the Poke Flute you'll be taken to a battle with level 30 Snorlax. You need to either defeat/capture it to proceed with the game. I would recommend capturing it, since there are only two Snorlax in the game. After you defeat the Snorlax enter the house. If you've no bicycle, the guard will not allow you to pass. In any case, exit the house and you'll end up in cycling road. It's a breeze from here to Fuschia City. The road goes downhill, and just keep riding southwards, and soon you'll end up in Fuschia City. If you choose the hard way: Make your way to Lavender town, and from here head south to go to route 12. Here, just keep walking on the dock. Head south, fighting the trainers along the way. Eventually, your way will be blcoked by a sleeping Pokemon - Snorlax. If you remember, you've gotten a pokeflute from Mr Fuji earlier. Use it against this sleeping Pokemon, and it will wake up and attack you. Pokemon Battle Pokemon: Snorlax lvl 30 This Pokemon is one of the two snorlax available in the game. You can only catch or defeat it. Use some fighting Pokemon to deal the damage. Status ailments will also come in handy if you want to capture this Pokemon. Once you're done, keep heading south until you see a house. This is the house of a fisherman. Talk to him, and he'll give you the super rod. Super rod is the best rod in this game, and with this you'll be able to capture most of the water Pokemon in the sea or lake. Now, keep on heading south until you can go no more. From here, head west and you should find yourself, in a maze-like area. The maze shouldn't be hard to figure out. Once you get out of the maze, head south and head wes tto route 15. From here, keep on heading west fighting the trainers along the way until you see another city gate that leads to Fuschia City. ================================ L. Fuschia City and Safari Zone ================================ Welcome to Fuschia City, home to Safari Zone. For more details about the Safari Zone, check out the miscellaneous section of this walkthrough. Beside the Pokemon Center, is the home of the move Deleter. If you want to delete a move make sure you pay him a visit. Meanwhile, below are the Pokemart list -------- Pokemart| ----------------------------- Fuschia Pokemart - Item List| Ultra Ball 1200 | Great Ball 600 | Super Potion 700 | Revive 1500 | Full Heal 600 | Max Repel 700 | ----------------------------- In any case, head for the gym at the southern part of the town. The gym is a tricky one. There's invisible wall all around the gym. You'll need to configure your way through these invisible walls. Try to go around the room from the right. The trainers could serve as a markers. In any case you should reach Koga soon. Fuschia Gym Leader Battle: Koga ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Koffing | 37 | | Muk | 39 | | Koffing | 37 | | Weezing | 43 | ======================== This could prove to be a tricky battle. Psychic Pokemon is your best bet against Koga. Ground attack will not work against Koffing and Weezing due their abilities - Levitate, which made them immune to ground attacks. Also, watch out for their self-destruct which could hurt you if you only rely on one single Pokemon. To be save, get some revives and antidotes for this battle. One or two good Psychic Pokemon will be enough to win you the badge. Once you defeated Koga, he'll give you the soul Badge as well as the most effective poisoning move in the form of TM 06 - Toxic After you've beaten Koga, now you could use Surf outside battle. Now its time to find the HM. Now, head for the safari Zone. Look out for the surfer's house (it's deep inside the safari zone). While you're at the safari zone, also remember to pick up a Gold Teeth. Once you've found the surfer house, enter, talk to him and HM 03 - Surf will be yours. Now that you've gotten surf, it's time to get another HM. Now head for the warden house at the Eastern part of the city. Remember the Gold tooth you picked earlier. If you give it to him, he'll give you HM 04 strength in exchange for the gold tooth. Now you have HM04 - Strength, you can move boulders. Also, in the warden house there is a pokeball which is inacessible earlier because of the boulder. Move the boulder using strength, and get the pokeball for a rare candy. Make sure you check out the house beside the waden's. Here, talk to the fisherman for good rod which will enable you to capture better water Pokemon. Now, the game could be pretty much non-linear. With surf, you can go for Cinnabar Island or you can go to Saffron City. In order to keep things simple, we'll go to Saffron first. =============================== M. Safron city and Silph Co =============================== If you haven't get the key items from the woman in Celadon Mansion earlier, it's time to get it. Once you've gotten the items, head to the one of the Saffron gates. Here, the guards will ask you whether you will give him a drink (the key items). Afterwards, he will let you pass. You've arrived at Saffron City, the biggest city in the game. If you go North, you'll notice that there are two gyms here. However only the psychic gym will give you the badge. At the moment, there are team rocket member blocking the way to the psychic gym. Now you have the choice whether you want to go to Fighting Dojo or head straight to Silph Co. Before that, you might want to check out the Pokemart: -------- Pokemart| ----------------------------- Saffron Pokemart - Item List| Ultra Ball 1200 | Hyper Potion 1200 | Revive 1500 | Full Heal 600 | Escape Rope 550 | Max Repel 700 | ----------------------------- If you choose to go to the Fighting Dojo, bring some Psychic and Flying Pokemon around. Here, there are 4 junior trainers. You will fight two of the trainers each time consecutively. Once you're done with the trainers, talk to the leader and a batlle will start. Fighting Dojo Leader Pokemon: Hitmonlee lvl 30 Hitmonchan lvl 30 With Psychic/Flying Pokemon of sufficient level, this battle isn't hard at all. If you're using flying Pokemon, beware of Hitmonchan thunderpunch. For beating the leader, you'll be given a reward. A choice of either a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonchan of your own. Now, it's time to take care of Team Rocket. Head for the Silph Co building now, the biggest building in the city. This building is full of Team Rocket. Your ojective is to rescue the company's president. There are 11 floor in this building, but you can't go directly to the 11th floor. First of all, you need to get the card key in order to open some of the doors. To get the Card Key, head to the 5th floor using the lift. From here, go left and down all the way until you see a warp spot. Defeat the scientist, and go past the warp, but not using it. Head to your right and you should find an item containing a card key. Now that you've gotten the card key, you'll be able to open up the door. Just walk around the building for some cool items (Carbos, Protein, Calcium, etc). If you want to save time, you might want to check out floor 8 where you can heal your pokemon by sleeping one bed. Now it's time to continue. Head for the third floor. Here, go down, and open the door using your card key. On the first room, go to the warp tile and use it. You'll end up in the 7th floor, where you can see a Silph Co employee together with the rival. If you haven't fully healed your Pokemon yet, go back to level 8 and heal. Once you've done this, it's time to face your rival. Rival Battle 6 Pokemon: If you choose Bulbasaur: Pidgeot lvl 37 Gyarados lvl 35 Eggxecute lvl 35 Alakazam lvl 35 Charizard lvl 40 If you choose Charmander: Pidgeot lvl 37 Growlithe lvl 35 Eggxecute lvl 35 Alakazam lvl 35 Blastoise lvl 40 If you choose Squirtle: Pidgeot lvl 37 Growlithe lvl 35 Gyarados lvl 35 Alakazam lvl 35 Venusaur lvl 40 After you manage to defeat your rival, talk to the Silph Co employee. He'll give you Lapras a water Pokemon at leve l 25. Now, go to the other warp spot. Use it, and you'll be transported to level 11. Here, there will be a team rocket members, which you have no choice but to battle. Once you defeat him, open the door and get ready to face Giovanni once more. Team Rocket Battle: Giovanni Pokemon: Nidorino lvl 37 Rhyhorn lvl 37 Kangaskhan lvl 37 Nidoqueen lvl 41 Bring some Fighting and Psychic pokemon here. Psychic will come in handy against Nidorino and Nidoqueen. A good fighting Pokemon should be able to dismantle Rhyhorn and Kangasjhan easily. Now that you've beaten Giovanni, talk to the president of Silph Co. As a reward for saving Silph Co, he'll give you a Master Ball. Master Ball will allow you to capture any Pokemon. It will definitely come handy against the legendary Pokemon. With Team Rocket taken care of, it's time to get back to track for becoming a Pokemon master. It's time for the 6th badge. Head back to the Psychic gym, you'll notice that you can go in now. Here, you need to use the warp spot to reach Sabrina the gym leader. Here is the way to do it. From the entrance, there is only one warp point, so go there and use it. You'll end up in the South-Eastern warp of a room. Now head left to the South-Western warp of the room. Now you'll find yourself in a North-Eastern warp. Head to the South- Western corner of the room again, and use the warp to transport yourself to a south-eastern warp in another warp. Head up to take the North-Eastern warp point. Here, you'll find yourself in the north -eastern warp point in another room. Head to the South-West corner of the room and use the warp point. Now you should be transported to the gym leader's room. Gym Leader Battle: Sabrina ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Kadabra | 38 | | Mr Mime | 37 | | Venomoth | 38 | | Alakazam | 43 | ======================== To old players, do you remember this gym in the original games. Psychic Pokemon used to be the powerhouse in the original game. This Gym was no exception. Battle against Sabrina was one of the thoughest gym leader battle in the riginal R/B/Y. Not anymore. With the split in Special categories, and some dark moves available in the game, beating Sabrina should be easier now. Once you defeat Sabrina, you'll get the Marsh Badge and TM 04 - Calm Mind. It's time to head for Cinnabar now. =============================== N. Cinnabar - The Fiery Island =============================== Now, fly back to Pallet town. From here, head south of the town, and use surf on the sea. From here, things are quite straight forward. you only need to surf southwards, until you see an island. This island is quite a small There's the gym, the Pokemart, the Pokemon center, Cinnabar Mansion, a research center. You can go to the research center to revive the fossils that you've got earlier on Mt Moon. If you go to the gym, you'll notice that the door is locked. It looks like we need the gym key here, so head to Cinnabar mansion on the North-western part of the island. Get some items off the Pokemart if you're short on them. -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------ Cinnabar Pokemart - Item List| Ultra Ball 1200 | Hyper Potion 1200 | Revive 1500 | Full Heal 600 | Escape Rope 550 | Max Repel 700 | ------------------------------ Once you enter, head straight along the red carpet until you see a stairs up. Go up and you'll be in level 2 now. From here, if you choose to go up there will be trainer upstairs as well as some interesting note about Mew. Anyway, from level 2, Press the switch in the statue, so its eyes doesn't glow now. Head to the North- western corner of the room, and take the stairs to level three. Here, press the switch on the statue again. Go down, and you supposed to see a scientist there. In any case, go through him and drop down though the largest column. You'll find yourself in another section of the first floor. Beat the trainer, and continue walking along the room until you see a stairs down. Take the stairs, and you'll end up in the basement of Cinnabar Mansion. From here, go to the room on your left. There will be another switch here. Turned it on and head back to the stairs. From the stairs, head North to the now unlocked room. From here, head north until you see another statue. Turn the switch on and head to your left. You should see a room with some plants and an item on the center. Take the item, and you'll find that it's the gym key. It's time to go out of the mansion and head for the gym now. This is an interesting gym. There are a lot of junior trainers here, but you don't need to fight all of them. For once, you'll need to use your Pokemon knowledge. Walk up to the machine located in the corner of the room. It will ask you a Pokemon related question. If you get it right, the door to the next room will open. Get it wrong, and the trainer will fight you. Repeat this step until you get to the gym leader. Here are the answers for the questions. First question: Yes Second question: No Third question: No Fourth question: No Fifth question: Yes Sixth question: No Gym Leader Battle: Blaine ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Growlithe | 42 | | Ponyta | 40 | | Rapidash | 42 | | Arcanine | 47 | ======================== There's nothing hard here. A decent water Pokemon should be able to take down Blaine easily. Defeat Blaine, and you'll get your 7th badge. Now, there's only 1 more badge to go. Remember the locked gym in Viridian City? It's now time to head back to Viridian. However, before that you might want to head for the Rainbow islands. Right after you get out of Cinnabar gym, Bill will come and ask you whether you want to help him. You have the option to take up the offer or to decline it. If you agree, a boat will come to pick you up. Now, go to the Sevii Island section of the walkthrough. If you decline the offer, it's time for Viridian City. ====================== O. Viridian Revisited ====================== Go back to Viridian City, Once you reached Viridian, head for the gym. The puzzles in the gym would be familiar, since you've encountered them before in Celadon's Game corner basement. No proze for guessing who's the gym leader. In any case the puzzle isn't really that hard to figure out. Once you've seen the gym leader, talk to him. Gym Leader Battle: Giovanni ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Rhyhorn | 44 | | Dugtrio | 42 | | Nidoqueen | 44 | | Nidoking | 45 | | Rhydon | 50 | ======================== Water Pokemon is your best friend for this fight. You should have no problem beating them. If you have a water Pokemon, use a combination of Rain Dance and Surf/Hydro Pump. Once you've defeated Giovanni, he'll give you the Earth Badge. With 8 badges, you can go to the Pokemon Leauge. Head West from Viridian, towards the Pokemon Leauge Building. ====================== P. Path to Victory ====================== From here, head towards the spot where you battle your rival earlier. Here, he will fight you once more. Get ready your Pokemon and the battle will start. Rival Battle 7 Pokemon: If you choose Bulbasaur as starter Pidgeot lvl 47 Rhyhorn lvl 45 Kadabra lvl 47 Gyarados lvl 45 Exeggcute lvl 45 Charizard lvl 53 If you choose Charmander as starter Pidgeot lvl 47 Rhyhorn lvl 45 Kadabra lvl 47 Growlithe lvl 45 Exeggcute lvl 45 Blastoise lvl 53 If you choose Squirtle as starter Pidgeot lvl 47 Rhyhorn lvl 45 Kadabra lvl 47 Growlithe lvl 45 Gyarados lvl 45 Venusaur lvl 53 Quite possibly the hardest battle so far. Use Electric Pokemon as usual on Pidgeot. Water Pokemon on Rhyhorn. If you have dark Pokemon use them on Alakazam. Growlithe/Exeggcute are pretty much easier compared to the others. Once you've defeated him, head West, enter the building. Here, just go North passing through all the guards who ask you for the badges. Keep doing so until you see an entrance for Victory Road. Victory Road Once you enter Victory Road, you'll see a boulder. Using a Pokemon with Strength HM, push the boulder all the way to the switch on the right. Now, head for the stairs and walk on until you see two stairs. There will be a trainer along the way. The right stairs down lead to a Rare Candy and TM 02. Head for the left stairs to continue. Walk on until you see a ladder up. Fight the trainer beside it if you want. Climb up the ladder. Here you'll see boulders again. Go to the boulders at your south and push it towards the switch. Now, head for the stairs. Go East all the way, fighting the blackbelt. Here, if you choose to go down the stairs, you'll see a Pokeball containing TM 37. You also see a switch here. In any case, go East all the way until you see a ladder up. Here, you'll see a boulder on top of you. Go to the boulders, and push it North until it's one square away from the wall. From here, push the boulder all the way to the West until you can't go further. You should be able to see a switch by now. Drag the boulder to the switch. You may want to take an item containing TM 50 - Overheat. Now, go back to the ladder in this floor where you come from earlier. From here, head up the stairs, and continue going West until you see another stairs down. You should see two trainers side by side here. Go through past them, and head East. Here, push the boulder down the hole. Jump down the hole, and push the boulder all the way to the switch on the left. From here, head up the ladder near the tamer. Here, there will be a 2 on 2 battle. In an ycase, head for the other ladder and climb down. Fro mhere, just head East for the exit. You'll find yourself out of Victory Road now. From here, just head North for the Pokemon Leauge. ====================== Q. Elite Four ====================== Enter the building. Here, there are Pokemon Center as well as Pokemart. Heal your Pokemon, and stock up one healing items such as revive and max potions. Try to level up your Pokemon to level 50+, as it will help you for the battle. Once you're ready, it's time to face the ELite Four. -------- Pokemart| ------------------------------------ Pokemon Leauge Pokemart - Item List| Ultra Ball 1200 | Great Ball 600 | Full Restore 3000 | Max Potion 2500 | Revive 1500 | Full Heal 600 | Max Repel 700 | ------------------------------------ Recommended types: Water Ice Fire Electric Flying Elite Four: Lorelei Specialty: Ice ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Dewgong | 52 | | Cloyster | 51 | | Slowbro | 52 | | Jynx | 54 | | Lapras | 54 | ======================== Electric Pokemon is your best friend for this battle. Fire wouldn't be as effective here, considering that 4 out of those Pokemon are part water. Use an electric Pokemon for Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro and Lapras. Unleash your fire Pokemon against Jynx. Elite Four: Bruno Specialty: Fighting/Rock ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Onix | 51 | | Hitmonchan | 53 | | Hitmonlee | 53 | | Onix | 54 | | Machamp | 56 | ======================== A Hydro Pump for both of the Onix should take care of them easily. As for the rest of the Pokemon, a Flying Pokemon would be the perfect choice for Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee and Machamp. Just be careful with Hitmonchan thunder punch though. Elite Four: Agatha Specialty: Ghost/Poison ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Gengar | 54 | | Golbat | 54 | | Haunter | 53 | | Arbok | 56 | | Gengar | 58 | ======================== In the past, ground Pokemon works well here, considering Gengar and Haunter are part-poison. However, with their ability - Levitate, ground moves are as good as useless here. Get a psychic Pokemon instead. While Ghost moves are strong aginst Psychic, the double weakness of Gengar and Haunter make up for it. Elite Four: Lance Specialty: Dragon ======================== | Pokemon | Level | ======================== | Gyarados | 56 | | Dragonair | 54 | | Dragonair | 54 | | Aerodactyl | 58 | | Dragonite | 60 | ======================== One of the harder battle. Gyarados could be taken care of easily with Electric Pokemon. Unless you have an Ice Pokemon, prepare for a hard battle with the Dragons. You might want to teach Ice Beam to your Pokemon. Champion: Blue If Bulbasaur's your starter: Pokemon: Pidgeot Alakazam Rhydon Exeggcutor Gyarados Charizard If Charmander's your starter: Pokemon: Pidgeot Alakazam Rhydon Arcanine Exeggcutor Blastoise If Squirtle's your starter: Pokemon: Pidgeot Alakazam Rhydon Arcanine Gyarados Venusaur You last battle, and the last obstacle to become a Pokemon champion. There's nothing really hard about this battle if you level up enough. With Water, Electric and Fire Pokemon in your team, you should be able to win this battle. Once you defeated Blue, Professor Oak will appear. After a short dialogue, he'll take you to the Hall of Fame. Here, you will see the ending, as well as the credits roll off the screen. Now, wait until the credits are over, and try to continue your game. You'll be back at Pallet Town. You might have beaten the Elite Four, but there are stil a lot of things you can do. If you've captured more than 60 Pokemon at this point, Oak will take you to his lab and present you with the National Dex. National Dex could contains all the Pokemon data, instead of only the original 151. With the National Dex, you can capture Johto Pokemon in the game. ================================= 4. Walkthrough - Sevii Islands ================================= Pokemon Fire/Leaf has brought us a new region to explore, the mystery islands archipelago. In these Sevii islands, there are a few sidequests, as well as the appearance of Johto Pokemon. The first three mystery islands are accessible right after you've beaten the Cinnabar gym. The rest will be available after you've beaten the elite four and obtain the Rainbow Ticket. It's easy to go to the Mystery Islands. Right after you beat Blaine at Cinnabar gym, the mystery islands are accessible. Get out of the gym after you beat Blaine, and Bill will be there. He'll ask you whether you would like to come along with him. Say yes, and a ferry will take you away. You'll end up in a dock in One Island. =================== A. One Island =================== After you land on the dock, Bill will mention a few things about his friend Celio. After that, he'll take you to the Pokemon Center. Here, you'll be able to see a huge machines. Celio mentions that there are some problems with the machine. While waiting for the machine to be fixed, Bill will ask for your help to deliver a piece of meteorite for the man in Two Island. In addition to the meteorite, Bill will also give you the Tri-Pass, which allow you to take the ferry anywhere within One Island, Two Island and Three Island. Also, you'll be given a town map. Through this town map, you'll be able to see the map of this region. Here, surf Northeast, you'll land on a grassy area. Not much to do here, except battling some trainers. Make your way North, and you'll end up in a Ember Spa. You can take a dip to heal your Pokemon here. Talk to the man by the waterfalls, to get HM 06. HM 06 is Rock Smash, and by teaching it to one of your Pokemon, you'll be able to smash those boulders blocking the way. After you've done so, head to the beach on the eastern part of the island. From here, surf North until you see a hill up north. Here, you could capture Moltres at the top of Mt Ember. After you've entered the mountain, head left. Push the two boulders away, head North and climb the stairs to the next level. Here, destroy the rocks using rock smash. There are three stairs here, the right and middle stairs led to a dead end. Climb the left stairs one level and head west. You should be able to see a cave. Go in and continue your journey. Mt Ember First Chamber Pretty straightforward, just follow the path and you'll end up in the next chamber. Second Chamber Just follow the path and climb the stairs, and you'll be in the next one. Third Chamber Same as the first and second. This time, you'll find yourself out in the open. Now, go left and go up the stairs. There's a little puzzle involving boulders and rocks on your right, but it's not that important. Solve the items and grab the puzzle if you want,and make your way up through the stairs. Here you'll find another boulder puzzle, which shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Talk to Moltres and you'll be taken to a battle. Wild pokemon battle: Pokemon: Moltres Just like any other legendaries, Moltres is a tough nout to crack. Try to put it to sleep or paralyze, and remember the golden rule of saving your game before the battle. At the south of the island, there's a Treasure beach where you can catch wild Persian. If you're looking for a Persian make your way there. In addition to that, after you've beaten the Elite Four and obtained the National Dex from Professor Oak, another cave will opens up. Go back to the entrance of the Moltres mountain. Here, you'll see two team rocket members at your right. Walk up and go through a few dialogues and fight them. Team Rocket battle 1 Rattata lvl 35 Raticate lvl 35 Sandshrew lvl 35 Sandslash lvl 35 Team Rocket battle 2 Cubone lvl 37 Marowak lvl 37 After you defeat them, a cave should appear. Here, you'll be able to capture Slugma. Deep down the cave, there are also Braille's puzzles. This is a clue regarding Ruby and Sapphire - the two gems needed to fixed the machine. From here, climb the ladder and you'll be taken to a chamber where you can get Ruby. Give this Ruby to Scientist in Island 1 for the Rainbow Ticket that allow you to go to Island 4-7. =================== B. Two Island =================== There's nothing much here compared to the first island. However, you'll need to give the metorite to the man in the game corner. To do this, you'll need to rescue a little girl in Three Island first. Check out Island 3 section for more details. Before that you might want to check out the mart. -------- Pokemart| ------------------------- Island 2 Mart - Item List| Ultra Ball 1200 | Great Ball 600 | Lemonade 350 | Soda Pop 300 | Fresh Water 200 | Moo Moo Milk 500 | ------------------------- Once you're done, head back to the game corner. The man will mention something about his daughter going missing. Halfway through the conversation, a biker will interrupt you. Aftera few more scenes, the man will tell you to head for Island 3. Now that you've rescued the little girl, you can play the mini games though the wireless link.
