Walkthrough
By Syraxx
Translated from the Pocket Monsters Walkthrough by Dr. Okido
Pallet Town
This the starting place of the game. Your mom will tell you that Dr. Oak
wants you. Upstairs, 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 is Bulbasaur, a plant-type Pokémon; Charmander, a fire-type
Pokémon; and Squirtle, and water-type Pokémon. Bulbasaur will fare best
in the beginning of the game, so picking the Pokémon sets the difficulty
of the game in a way. Squirtle won't do well at all, so if you weant a hard
game, pick Squirtle. Your rival, Gary, will pick up the Pokémon to the
right of yours. When you try to leave, Gary will challenge you to a Pokémon
duel. The Pokémon he picked is always stronger against yours than yours is
against his.
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. Your goal in the game is to complete your
Pokédex, and the only way to do that is to capture or have captured every
Pokémon in the game. The gym's doors are locked, and they won't unlock
until you've beaten the other 7 trainers in the game.
Viridian Forest
On your way through Viridian Forest, you should pick up a Pikachu, a
Caterpie, and a Weedle. Don't worry about Kakunas and Metapods, because
your Caterpie and Weedle will evolve into one eventually, and they are
attackless. Their only move is Harden. Once they go up 2 or 3 levels, they
emerge from their shells. Kakuna becomes Beedrill and Metapod becomes
Butterfree.
There are 2 easy trainers in the forest that you should have no trouble
beating.
Take note: Come back to the road from Viridian Forest to Pewter City when
you have a Pokemon who has the Cut ability. To reach the left side of the
road, cut a tree down. You can get a Mr. Mime by trading an Abra for it at
a cottage.
Pewter City
This is where Brock resides. At his command are Onix and Geodude, two
Rock-type Pokémon.
Old Amber is in the the museum. In order to enter the side of the museum
with it, you need to cut a tree down with the Cut ability. Old Amber will
become an Aerodactyl when you take it to the Pokémon Laboratory on Cinnabar
Island.
Mt. Moon
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.
Cerulean City
In this city you can trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx. You can also get the
Bike here once the president of the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City has
given you the Bike Voucher. Beat the Gym here and head North to Bill's
house. Here you will get the S.S. Anne Ticket. On the road South from Cerulean
City, there is a house. This is the Pokémon Daycare Center. The man there will
care for one of your Pokémon and raise its level while you are gone. 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. You must get some
Fresh Water from the Poké Mart in Celadon City.
The smaller building is the entrance of underground passage to Vermilion City.
Vermilion City
Here you can get the Coupon for bike by visiting the Pokémon Fan Club. Beat
Lt. Surge, the gym leader, and talk to him afterwards to get the TM 24, which
contains Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is the best Electric move.
S.S. Anne
You can get on the boat with the S.S. Ticket you got from Bill. On
this boat, there are many trainers and some useful items. The most
important item of them all is HM 01, which the captain will give to you
when you help him through his seasickness. You should get HM 01 after
you have done everything else, because the boat will take off when you
get the HM 01 and exit the boat.
Vermilion City (revisited)
Go east and you will find a building on the right side of the road.
One of Prof. Oak's aides is on the 2nd floor. He will give you the Itemfinder
if you currently have more than 30 Pokémon.
Diglett's Cave
It leads to the road near Pewter City. Be sure to pick up a Diglett
before you leave.
Cerulean City (revisited)
Go East and enter the Rock Tunnel.
Rock Tunnel
It is very dark inside of the cave, so you need a Pokemon equipped with
Flash (HM 05). Pick up an Onix and a Machop here.
Lavender Town
In the northeast section of the town there is a big building, Pokémon Tower. In
order to identify and fight the ghosts in the tower, you need the Silph
Scope, which you can get in basement of the Game Corner in Celadon City
after you defeat Giovanni. Come back here when you have the Silph Scope.
Pokémon Tower
After defeating all the Team Rocket members in the tower, you can save
Mr. Fuji from them. He will give you the Poké Flute at his house. Go
West from Lavender Town and you will find the underground passage to
Celadon City.
Celadon City
Celadon is the biggest city in the whole game of Pokémon. You will need
to come to this city many times.
You can get an Eevee by way of a back entrance to the Game Freak, Inc.
building.
Use a stone from the Poké Mart to evolve him into a Jolteon, a Flareon, or
The Gym Leader, Erika, caters to Plant-type Pokémon. Beat her and get a
TM that contains the best Plant attack.
Celadon Department Store
In this store you can buy many items, including Stones that will evolve your
Pokémon, TMs, ability enhancers, etc. You should evolve all your Pokemon through
the stones.
On the roof level, pick up two Fresh Waters, one Soda Pop, and one Lemonade.
Give one of each to the thirsty girl and she will give you 3 TMs.
Game Corner
You can play the slot machines here, but you need Coin Case and coins to play a
slot machine. Some of the people playing will give you coins. You can also buy
coins, 50 of them for 1000. Also, walk around hitting A and you will find more
coins.
The basement of the Game Corner is Team Rocket's hideout. Giovanni, the boss of
Team Rocket, has the Silph Scope. You will need it to make your way through
Pokémon Tower.
You can get TMs and Pokémon by trading in your coins at the Prize Exchange.
Go West from Celadon City. On this road, a Snorlax is sleeping, and you must
wake him up. If you have the Poké Flute, you can wake him up and fight him.
Before you get to the Snorlax, you will notice a bush that leads to another
road. Cut it down and go up and left. Go through the building and into the house
you find. The girl inside will give you HM 02, which contains Fly.
Cycling Road
This leads to Fuschia City. This is a cycling road so you need the Bike to
go through. If you don't have the bike, go to Vermilion City and get the Bike
Voucher from the Pokemon Fan Club president. The go back to Cerulean City and
get a Bike.
Lavender Town (revisited)
North on this road leads to Fuschia City. On this road another Snorlax is
sleeping, so use the Poké Flute to wake him up. At the end of the road, there
is a gate house for Fuschia City. Go upstairs, and you will find another one
of Prof. Oak's aides. He will give you the Experience All if you have caught
50 or more Pokémon.
Fuschia City
Head North to the Safari Zone.
Also, the warden of Safari Zone will reward you with the HM 04 if you
give him the Gold Teeth. (found in Safari Zone)
Safari Zone
At the end of Safari Zone there is a cottage called the "Secret House" where
you will get HM 03 from a man inside. HM 03 contains Surf.
Saffron City
You can get here from Hanada, Lavender, Celadon and Kuchiba. At first, the
gate guards will not let you through the gates. First go to Celadon City
Department Store, get something drink from a vending machine on 6th floor
(there are 3 kinds, any will do), and go to the gate and give him the drink.
There are 2 Gyms in this city. One of them is Kakuto Dojo, where you can get
Sawamuraa, the kick devil, or Ebiwaraa, the punch devil. The other is
Natume's Gym, but first, there is a man in front of the Gym. In order to enter
the Gym, you need to go to Shirufu Company, the biggest building in Yamabuki
City, and defeat all Rocket Gang members in it and you get Laplace. Also,
after doing so the girl in the house at left will trade you Waza Machines for
Pippi Dolls.
Silph Co.
There are many Items and Rocket Gang members in here. Adding to it, you need
to jump from point to point. You also need the Card Key to open doors. After
defeating Sakaki, talk to the sitting man and he will give you Master Ball. It
has a 100% chance of catching. Only use it to get one of the 3 Legendary
Birds: Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
Power Plant
Cross the water after you get out onto the other side of the Rock Tunnel.
There are lots of Electric Pokemon in here. Also here is Zapdos, one of the
Legendary Birds. To catch Zapdos, you must have a Master Ball.
Seafoam Islands
Cross the water after you get to Fuschia City. Many Water Pokemon reside
here, and it's a good chance to add to your collection. This is where
Articuno, the Ice Bird is. To catch Articuno, you must have a Master Ball.
Cinnabar Island
South of Pallet Town is Cinnabar Island. Enter the Pokémon Laboratory
and get some new Pokémon. Depending on what fossil you got in Mt. Moon,
you can get Kabuto or Omanyte. You can also get Aerodactyl if you picked
up the Old Amber in Pewter City's museum. Beat the Gym leader, Blaine,
and head north back to Viridian City.
Viridian City (revisited)
Here is the final Gym. After beating Giovanni, go west to the Pokémon
League HQ.
Victory Road
To pass here you will need the moves from HM 03 and HM 04. This is where
you find Moltres, the Fire Bird.
Indigo Plateau
Here is a Poké Center and a Poké Mart in one. Go though the door at the
top to fight the Elite Four, a group of the most powerful trainers ever.
All their Pokémon are over lv. 50, so be prepared.
After facing the Elite Four, you will come up against Gary. Beat him and
you will be the best Pokémon trainer ever!
Cerulean Cave
After you have beaten the Pokémon League, go back to Cerulean City.
Northeast of Cerulean City in a cave is Mewtwo, the best Pokémon. I believe
he is at lv. 70. It is possible to catch Mewtwo without the Master Ball,
but it is hard. You only see him once in the whole game! Make him faint and
you're out of luck...
Tip: Save the game right in front of Mewtwo, so if you make him faint or
you mess up in any way, you can just reset the game and try again.
