Magnemite - Level 2 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples, Poke Flute Difficulty: * Magnemite is easy to see, but every time you try to take a picture, it sends light waves to the camera and it darkens your picture. It doesn't even count as a Magnemite. If you toss an apple close to it, it begins to eat it, take a picture. It is too busy eating to notice. Magneton - Level 2 - ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples, or poke flute Difficulty: ** When you see the three Magnemites, lure them all together with apples. They will join up and evolve into Magneton. Tip Throw An Apple To Get a Better Shot. Charizard - Level 3 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples or Stun Bombs Difficulty: * At the end of the level, when you see a Charmeleon circling around a pool of lava, knock it in with an apple or stun bomb. It falls in and evolves. Moltres - Level 3 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples or Stun Bombs Difficulty: * When an egg is blocking your path, hit it with an apple or stun bomb. It will fall into the lava and hatch. Moltres will fly out. Growlithe/Arcanine - Level 3 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs Difficulty: * Near the end of the level, look to the right. You will see three mini-volcanoes. Toss 3 stun bomb into the first volcano to get arcanine.toss another three into the second ot third volcano to get growlithe. Vileplume - Level 4 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute Difficulty: * When you see a red plant thing giving off smoke on the right side, play the Poke-flute. Vileplume will jump up and dance. Slowbro - Level 4 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples Difficulty: ** When you see a Slowpoke on the left side of the shore, lure it to the big dirt patch near the Shellder sign. Slowpoke will turn around and put its tail in the water. A Shellder will bite it and Slowpoke will evolve into Slowbro. Porygon - Level 4 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb Difficulty: ** On the right side of the level, near the end, on the walls, you might see a little thing on the walls go up and down. Hit it with a stun bomb and you will find that it is a Porygon. Hit it again to take off its camoflauge. Victreebell - Level 5 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb or Apples Difficulty: * When you see a Weepinbell walking around a pool of water in the Caverns, hit it with an apple or stun bomb so it falls in. It will evolve into Victreebell. Ditto - Level 5 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb Difficulty: * When you see all of those Bulbasaurs in the beginning of the level, hit them with a stun bomb and they will change back to their original form--Ditto. Articuno - Level 5 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute Difficulty: * Near the end of the level you will find two Jynxes looking at a metal-looking egg. Get near the egg and play the Poke-flute. It will hatch, and Articuno will fly around. Golem - Level 6 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute Difficulty: * Golems aren't hard to find, but you can never get a good picture of them,they're always on the walls. When you get to the part where you see three of them in a triagle on the left wall, play the Poke-flute to get them to dance for you. Goldeen - Level 6 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs Difficulty: * Goldeen can be found by throwing stun bombs into the river you are traveling in, just keep throwing until one jumps up. Starmie - Level 6 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: None Difficulty: * When you see the Staryus coming up out of the water and looking at you, take a picture of one and it will circle around you. Let it do that until you get to the whirlpool. It will be sucked in and evolve into Starmie. Gyarados - Level 6 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs Difficulty: *** This one's tricky. In the beginning of the level, there is a Magikarp jumping in and out of the water. Hit it onto shore with a Stun Bomb and the Mankey will hit it far away. Shortly after that, near the waterfall on the left side of the river, you will find that same Magikarp flopping around on the land. Hit it again with a stun bomb and it will flop it's way into the waterfall and evolve into Gyarados. Dragonite - Level 6 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs Difficulty: ** At the whirlpool, throw in 3 or 4 stun bombs. You will know if you hit the whirlpool because it flashes when hit. If you did that, a Dragonite will appear. Mew - Level 7 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs or Apples Difficulty: ** Strategy 1: Mew is the only Pokemon on level 7, but getting a good picture is a bit tricky. You need to keep hitting its shield until it breaks and it needs to chase its shield. If you hit it with a stun bomb or apple while it's chasing it's shield, it will spin around and look back at you. If you can hit Mew while close, and it looks at you, you could get up to 9000 points. My best picture of Mew got my 10,000. Strategy 2 (deathmeister@webtv.net): After blowing its shield, try to predict what side it will come out of. then just keep whacking it with stun bombs (i think using the speed-up item helps too) until it's right in front of you. i got a score of 9360 this way ^_^ muk - Level 7 ----------------------- REQUIREMENTS: Apples And Stn Bombs Difficulty: ** when starting the cave level look to you left take a picture of the grimer then when you get to the 3 ditto's posing as bulbasaur look down or to the left throw three Stun Bombs Then Throw An Apple At The grimer he'll then turn into Muk. ======================= (2) Getting to Mew Stage What you need to do is to take pictures of landforms of things that look like Pokemon. There is one on every stage except Mew Stage. After you have pictures of all six, and you've shown them to Dr. Okido (Professor Oak) then Mew Stage will be unlocked. Kingler - Level 1 ----------------------- Difficulty: ** Look backwards near the beginning of the stage, just after the Pikachu. It's kind of on the right. It is a rock formation with moss growing on it. Pinsir - Level 2 ----------------------- Difficulty: ** Get Zapdos hatched, and it will power the power plant. In the next room, a spotlight will be showing on what looks like some rocks and poles. Take a picture of the wall the light is shining on. Pinsir! Koffing - Level 3 ----------------------- Difficulty: *** At the beginning of the level, where you see the Ponytas and the Volcano, look at the purple smoke through your camera. If the camera "locks on" then take a picture. Kinda looks like Koffing, huh? Cubone - Level 4 ----------------------- Difficulty: ** Right near the Vileplume is a tree that is Cubone. You can't take a picture of it because Vileplume's smoke is in the way. Play the Poke-flute so Vileplume will stop giving off smoke and begin dancing. Then you can get a clear shot of the Cubone tree. Mewtwo - Level 5 ----------------------- Difficulty: * When you are starting to get close to the end of the level, look back and you should see some stars inside the caverns that are sparkling. Take a picture of the biggest one. It doesn't look like much now, but on film it shows up as Mewtwo. Dugtrio - Level 6 ----------------------- Difficulty: * This one's easy. Just take a picture of the Dugtrio statue at the beginning of the stage. It's right there in front of you.
