It actually hasn't been too long since I wrote mine for Pokemon Red/Blue/Green - about a week, and I'm still multitasking Pokemon Conquest while this is written. So that gives you a good idea for how new this guide is for the game. But, yeah, there's been a bit of slowdown in my other FAQs, so I figured why not take my notes for Pokemon Yellow and retranslate Pokemon R/B/G? So that's what I'm doing. This is actually rather special to me as well: its acceptance to GameFAQs will mean that I'm the only user to ever create a FAQ/Walkthrough for every mainstream game in the Pokemon series! (Minus Black/White 2, which isn't out in the U.S. as of yet.) Well, crappy intro aside, let's get this show on the road! ___________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ |==O==| Section Two: Version History |==O==| |\___/___________________________________________________________________\___/ | | | CTRL+F Tag: **POKEMON_2** | |_____________________________| v0.50 - Done everything through Section IV of the walkthrough and the glitches are also in. 1:16 AM 6/27/2012 v1.00 - Translation of Pokemon Red/Blue/Green completion with fixings to conform to Pokemon Yellow data, of course. And so, I've written an FAQ for every mainstream Pokemon game released as of this date!! 11:14 PM 6/27/2012 ___________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ |==O==| Section Three: Legal |==O==| |\___/___________________________________________________________________\___/ | | | CTRL+F Tag: **POKEMON_3** | |_____________________________| This FAQ may not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

Within this section, you'll find a wealth of information, guiding you from start to finish for this game. All of the info is arranged in chronological order. This walkthrough has been divided into eighteen smaller sub-sections so you can find what you want more easily. What the sub-sections are can be found by looking in the Table of Contents, found near the top of the document. ############################################################################# ## ## # Section I - Through Pewter City's Gym **POKEMON_41** # ## ## ############################################################################# Let's start with the basics. Turn on your GB, GBC, GBA SP, GameCube/GameBoy Player, or whatever you use, and go to the menu. Start up a new game. Professor Oak of the Kanto region give some info on the world of Pokémon, and ask you to say your name (not gender in this game). He'll also forget his grandson's name, which is rather shameful. O============================================================================O | FOR REFERENCE, I WILL REFER TO HIM EITHER AS "Gary" OR "your rival"! I | | that "Gary" would be largely preferable, but I effectively translated | | this FAQ from Pokemon Red/Blue/Green fitting in Yellow's information, so | | it is just more convenient for me. Deal with it. | O============================================================================O And so, another Pokémon adventure begins... (After Oak talks some more.) =============================================================================== Pallet Town =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Potion ............................................................... [] | |_____________________________________________________________________________| ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pikachu | Electric | One-of-a-kind Event | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Okay, once you gain control of yourself, you'll find yourself in your bedroom in your house located in Pallet Town. Pallet Town is one of many locales in the Kanto region of the Pokémon world. To Pallet's south is the ocean and Cinnabar; to the north are forests. To the west, you'll find Mt. Silver, Tohjo Falls, and the rest of the Johto region. (Which isn't in these games.) Okay, anyhow, you're in your room. Interact with the PC and withdraw the Potion within the storage system. You can mess with the SNES here. As a note of trivia, in these games' remakes (FireRed and LeafGreen), you actually play with a NES. Anywho, head downstairs and outside. Outside, go north and try to leave town. Professor Oak will stop you, telling you it is too dangerous in the dark grass to travel alone. Just then, a wild Pikachu attacks, but Prof. Oak professionally catches it with a Poke Ball. He will then take you to his lab. There, you'll meet up with your rival. Oak mentions the Pokeball on the table, offering it to you as your starter Pokemon. As you go to get it, however, your rival pushes you out of the way, claiming it as his own. This Pokemon ends up being an Eevee, a traditional starter for the side-games rather than the mainstream ones. So, in Eevee's stead, you'll be given the Pikachu from before. Depending on how you look at it, you might've just got screwed: Eevee, in this game, can evolve into one of three types, but Pikachu/Raichu is always Electric. And, of course, your overly-aggressive rival immediately challenges you to a battle. _____________________________________ | BOSS: PKMN Trainer [rival's name] \ |______________________________________\______________________________________ | Pokémon: Eevee (Lv. 5) Normal | | | | Money Earned: $175. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Unlike most of the practice battles in Pokemon, for that is what this is | | really meant to be, your Pikachu will have a typed-move, Thunderbolt. This | | move is of the Electric-type, allowing Pikachu to do 50% more damage, and | | it has the inherent 1-in-4 chance of paralyzing the opponent. So simply | | Thunderbolt Eevee to death; it can't really hurt you with Tackle. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Now let's go north and leave Pallet Town. =============================================================================== Route 1 =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Potion ............................................................... [] | |_____________________________________________________________________________| ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Let me explain the above chart. This chart details Pokémon encounters. As with Black/White, I haven't yet found the exact encounter percentages, so I will just go on what is given in-game. Everything on the top-half of the table is pretty obvious. The Trainers' Pokémon (the bottom half) shows the levels of the Trainers' Pokémon found in an area in accordance to the FAQ. No strategies, no money amounts, just species and levels. Each line is one trainer, unless otherwise noted. Also, there is an items checklist. You noticed this in the previous section, but better late than never. It's obvious, though. It shows you what you'll be allowed to get, item-wise, and puts it in a handy checklist format should you want to print it out. Anyhow, there isn't much here. Go north along the route and talk to some guy on the way. You'll get a Potion. Continue north until you hit Viridian City. =============================================================================== Viridian City =============================================================================== When you arrive, head into the red-roofed building. This is the most essential tool for all Pokémon Trainers, the Pokémon Center. Speak with the nurse at the desk to be able to fully heal the Pokémon in your party for free. Nearby is a PC - you can use it to access the Pokémon storage and item storage. There are some linking things, as well, upstairs, I believe. Anyhow, we WOULD go for the Gym here, but the Gym Leader is out somewhere. *sigh* Well, let's continue forward. Let's momentarily go west onto Route 22. =============================================================================== Route 22 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Spearow | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Mankey | Fighting | Uncommon | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| We are only going here for a few moments. You can't go much farther here - you'll need eight Gym Badges, for one thing, before getting to do much else. Anyhow, there are some Pokémon here. You can grind against them for now. Anyhow, return east into Viridian. =============================================================================== Viridian City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Oak's Parcel ......................................................... [] | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Well, we know Pewter City has a Gym (as according to this FAQ and the anime) so why not head north to there? Well, an old man is blocking you and won't let you by. So, what to do? Go into the blue-roofed building, the PokéMart. You normally can buy various items in here. The clerk will notice you when you enter and hand over a package that you are to deliver to Professor Oak. Leave the PokéMart and exit to the south. =============================================================================== Route 1 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Continue south, hopping along those brown ledges as shortcuts. Continue south into Pallet Town. =============================================================================== Pallet Town =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Pokédex .............................................................. [] | | Town Map ............................................................. [] | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Go into your house and speak with your mom to restore your starter's health. Then go into Oak's lab. You'll end up giving him the package, with your rival soon coming in. You are then given the Pokédex. The Pokédex is this item that can record the data of all 151 species of Pokémon in existence. (Technically, as of the release of Black/White, it is 649, but the first gen only had 151 and no second-gen-only trades.) To record the data of a Pokémon in here, you must catch it. You can use the Pokédex to find which Pokémon you have seen and have caught, in which case you can find where they reside. Next, go outside and into your rival's house. Speak with his sister to get the Town Map, which shows the whole Kanto region. Anyhow, finish up any business you have here and exit to the north. =============================================================================== Route 1 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Continue northward into Viridian. =============================================================================== Viridian City =============================================================================== _____________________ | Viridian PokéMart \ |______________________\______________________________________________________ | Item Name .......................................................... Cost | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Poké Ball .......................................................... $200 | | Potion ............................................................. $300 | | Antidote ........................................................... $100 | | Parlyz Heal ........................................................ $200 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| As you can see above, the PokéMart (the blue-roofed building) is now selling items. You should have about $3,000 (at least, the other games do). Pick up a few extra Potions and Antidotes if you have money after buying Poké Balls. Ten ($2,000) is a good number. Hm... Seems like something is up on Route 22. Go out to the west. =============================================================================== Route 22 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Spearow | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Mankey | Fighting | Uncommon | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Go through the grass to the west and you will find your rival, ready for a battle. ______________________________ | BOSS: Rival [rival's name] \ |_______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Pokémon: Eevee (Lv. 8) Normal | | Spearow (Lv. 9) Normal/Flying | | | | Money Earned: $280. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eevee is weak to Fighting and is immune to Ghost. | | | | Pidgey is weak to Rock, Ice, and Electric and is immune to Ground. | | | | Recommendations: Pikachu + Thunderbolt = a winner is you. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Catch a few Pokémon if desired, then return east to Viridian. You'll probably want to catch Spearow or Pidgey to use for Fly later on; Spearow tends to be more powerful, so it is my preference. Mankey also makes a nice recruit for the first Gym, and Nidoran may help in the Grass Gym later on. =============================================================================== Viridian City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Potion ............................................................... [] | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________ | Viridian PokéMart \ |______________________\______________________________________________________ | Item Name .......................................................... Cost | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Poké Ball .......................................................... $200 | | Potion ............................................................. $300 | | Antidote ........................................................... $100 | | Parlyz Heal ........................................................ $200 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| As you return, look slightly north for a gap between the fence and a rock. Go along this path to find a Potion. Go further north to find the old man from earlier. He's had his coffee, so he is just cheerful. He'll show you how to catch a Pokémon, but fail. That leads to the "Old Man Glitch", discussed later in this FAQ, at the end, though I think it was fixed in this game. Basically, to capture a Pokémon, first, it must be wild. It can't be owned by a Trainer. Secondly, you will benefit from lowering the target's HP as much as possible without inducing a faint/KO - low-power moves are very key for this. Finally, inducing a non-damaging status (preferably Paralysis) will further boost the capture rate. To capture, go into the Bag during battle and opt to use a Pokéball. (For reference, Pokéball is the generic term for the units used to capture and store Pokémon. Poké Ball refers to the specific Pokéball initially available with no special effects.) Heal at the Pokémon Center if needed and go north onto Route 2. =============================================================================== Route 2 (South) =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Spearow | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Caterpie | Bug | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Continue forward into Viridian Forest. =============================================================================== Viridian Forest =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Antidote .............................................................

Catch Caterpie. Why? Well, firstly, it evolves at Lv. 7 to Metapod) and again at Lv. 10 (to Butterfree). Bug Pokémon are known for their many statusing abilities, such as Stun Spore, which help out with catching Pokémon. Anywho, once you enter the forest, go west and defeat the Lass in the grass. Then go along the path to the north and west to find a Poke Ball. Backtrack to the entrance and go east. At the non-battling Trainer, go north to find a Bug Catcher to fight. Continue along the path to another Bug Catcher, then go along the west side of the path to find the Antidote. Go along the path -- the fork shouldn't affect you at all -- and you'll reach another Bug Catcher. Defeat him and continue along the path. At the southern side of the second long grass patch after the battle, you'll notice a small alcove to the east, in which you'll find a Potion. Go west and north to find one more Trainer, then continue north to leave the woods. =============================================================================== Route 2 (North) =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Spearow | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Caterpie | Bug | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | | Nidoran | Poison | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Simply go north some more to Pewter City. =============================================================================== Pewter City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Poké Ball ............................................................

Next, head to the northwestern corner of the city. Stand next to the fence, go north two steps and one west, and examine the light-green grass one tile north to grab a Poké Ball. Nothing else to mention here. Go to the Gym. If you don't know what it looks like, try to exit Pewter by heading east onto Route 3. You'll then be escorted to the Gym. =============================================================================== Pewter Gym =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Boulderbadge .........................................................

Go forward to battle the Trainer. After beating him, you may want to head back to the Pokémon Center and heal. When ready, speak to and challenge Brock. __________________________ | BOSS: Gym Leader Brock \ |___________________________\_________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Geodude (Lv. 10) Rock/Ground | | Onix (Lv. 12) Rock/Ground | | | | Money Earned: $1,188 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | These two Pokémon share the same type stuff. They are weak to Water (4x), | | Grass (4x), Fighting, and Ice moves. They are immune to Electric. They | | are advantageous over Fire, Bug, Poison, Rock, Ice, and Electric. | | | | Recommendations: If you don't have a Pokemon other than Pikachu, give up. | | Pikachu's Electric moves won't do any damage to these Pokemon, and a | | Normal-type move will just be crappy. Go back to Route 22 and catch a | | Mankey to use here; they learn Low Kick pretty early, which deals double | | the normal amount of damage to these Pokemon. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, you will get the Boulderbadge and TM34, which teaches Bide, a move that let's the user take damage over a few turns and later toss it all back at the opponent with double the power. ############################################################################# ## ## # Section II - Through Cerulean City's Gym **POKEMON_42** # ## ## ############################################################################# =============================================================================== Pewter Gym =============================================================================== Once you have beaten Brock, leave the Gym. =============================================================================== Pewter City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Pewter PokéMart \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

Go east and defeat the Lass, then go north to find a Bug Catcher. Go west to find a Youngster. Defeat him and continue to the right to find another Lass and another Bug Catcher. Hop down south to find another Youngster, then go down and around to the right to find a Bug Catcher. Then go along the Route to the patch of grass. Defeat the lass to the east. Ah, grass! That green plant filled with chlorophyll, having a mystical quality in Pokémon. =/ All weird talking aside, you'll want to note Sandshrew. It has some nice power, especially versus Electric types. It also will be a decent HM slave, so catch two. Mankey will be nice for a Fighting-type, and you should already have Spearow and Rattata. Eventually, head north to find a Pokémon Center. Heal up there and also note the man inside who will sell Magikarp for $500. While Magikarp is iconic for being more useless than fire underwater, it's evolution, Gyarados, is like its polar opposite. It's also easy to catch later on, but if you like go to the trouble, here ya go. You should have raised $1,170 fighting those Trainers. Once you're done, head north into Mt. Moon. =============================================================================== Mt.

Then go west and north to the Bug Catcher. Head northwest to find a Potion, then go south from there to find TM12, which teaches Water Gun. Go east to the Lass you beat earlier, then head northeast. You'll notice a ladder; use it. <== B1F ==> Down on B1F, you'll want to go along the path for a bit to find another ladder. Use it. <== B2F ==> Nearby, you'll find another new class of Pokémon trainer, and perhaps the worst as far as ethics go. Defeat him and go east. On the raised ledge, you can find an HP Up. Sweet; these cost almost $10,000 in this game! And for good reason: they boost your Pokémon's HP Effort Values (EVs, which determine level up stat boosts) by 10, which is a little less than 2% of the max. EVs are accumulated through battling, so you see my point? Go back upstairs. <== B1F ==> You'll notice a fork in the path. Go south, first. Defeat the Super Nerd and go southwest to find another Potion. Go around that big rock to find another Bug Catcher, then go southeast to find the rare Rare Candy. These items are perhaps the best you can find: not buyable by any means, and there's a very limited amount in the game, and for good reason: they instantly raise your Pokémon's level by one! I think it might be most efficient to use one after leveling up, because I think your EXP. drains out after its use. Go north to find an Escape Rope, which will let you instantly leave a cave and some other areas. Further north, you'll find a Lass. Defeat here and go west and south to the ladder. <== B2F ==> Defeat the nearby Rocket grunt and go north to find TM01, Mega Punch. It's a Normal-type move of decent physical power. Go east and examine the stand-out rock to find an Ether, which helps to heal PP. You usually can't buy these, so save them for emergencies. Go back to the top floor. <== 1F ==> Go west to find a Youngster. Defeat him and go north to find the Hiker. Defeat him and you'll notice a ladder. Don't yet use it; rather, go northwest to find a Moon Stone. Only four Pokémon in this game will evolve via the Moon Stone: Jigglypuff (into Wigglytuff), Clefairy (into Clefable), Nidorino (into Nidoking), and Nidorina (into Nidoqueen). There is one for each of them, this being one of them. Take the ladder to the southeast down a floor. <== B1F ==> *yawns* Defeat the Rocket hear, though beware of Hyper Fang -- I believe it halves your current HP. Go along the path east, south, west, and north. At the end, you'll need to fight another Rocket. Go north some more and go along the narrow eastbound path. At the end, examine with A to find a second Moon Stone! Go north and fight the Super Nerd near the two fossils. After the fight, you'll get a choice of the two fossils. Each of the Pokémon will be pretty similar, as this needless chart reveals. Pick one.

Visit the PokéMart next, if you want. You will find a new item, the Repel. It helps to keep Pokémon off of you. Personally, it's useless because you should be WANTING EXP., not avoiding it. Though I guess low-level players might enjoy it. Anyhow, go into the house west of the Pokémon Center and, in there, you'll be able to get a free Bulbasaur!! Go wild now, for Bulbasaur is one-of-a-kind in this game, and will greatly help in the next Gym ... You know, once it gets a few levels from Lv. 10. In the northwestern house, you'll find a man who informs you of all of the badges' properties. Go around back of his house and examine of the tiles there to find a Rare Candy! Leave here and go south to find a shop. The man inside will sell you a Bicycle for the low, low price of a mere $1,000,000! ... You know you can't afford that. For two reasons: firstly, you will need some insane grinding or trading for that much money, and secondly, you can only have $999,999. (This amount was later made much higher by Black/White - I think it was $999,999,999.) v_v Oh well.

Heal up back in Cerulean, then go north to the Nugget Bridge. =============================================================================== Nugget Bridge =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Nugget ...............................................................

You should be able to go to the Pokémon Center and heal in-between battles as needed. Now, at the end, you'll be given a Nugget and an offer to join Team Rocket. (Of course, this is a Team Rocket grunt.) Your character refuses the offer, so you have to fight, correct? Do so. Once you're done here, return to Cerulean, heal up, and continue north onto Route 24. =============================================================================== Route 24 =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Nugget ...............................................................

This same Trainer is the one that allows the Mew glitch, so hint hint. This is the only way to get a Mew in Pokémon R/B/Y/G now in 2012, short of trading with lucky people. See the glitches section at the end of the FAQ for more info. Return to the northern end of the Nugget Bridge and go northwest to find TM45, Thunder Wave, an Electric-type move that doesn't damage, but actually will induce Paralysis should it hit. Also nearby should a Trainer who will hand over a free Charmander. Charmander is the Fire-type Kanto starter, and definitely will be helpful in the Grass-type Gym. Then go east, and battle the two Hikers. After that, you should be on Route 25. =============================================================================== Route 25 =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | S.S.

Continue along the Route to battle the first four Trainers above. After defeating the Hiker, you should go north and HAVE THE TRAINER TO THE NORTH WALK TO YOU. This is so you can obtain TM19, Seismic Toss. Anyhow, your next opponents, including the aforementioned Trainer, should be a Jr. Trainer and a Youngster. After defeating the Youngster, continue along the path to find a Lass. Defeat her. Continue along the path to find a house. Go inside to find something that looks a bit like a Pokémon. The "Pokémon" reveals itself to be Bill, among the biggest of the biggest Pokémaniacs and the creator of the PC Pokémon Storage System. One of his experiments has transformed him into a Pokémon. You'll be forced to help out. When Bill enters the chamber, press A on the computer to transform Bill into a human being. He'll hand you the S.S. Ticket as a reward. Now leave the house and continue back west to Route 24. =============================================================================== Route 24 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | | Pidgeotto | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Oddish | Grass/Poison | Common | | Bellsprout | Grass | Common | | Venonat | Bug/Poison | Uncommon | | Charmander | Fire | Event - Gift | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Rattata Lv. 14, Ekans Lv. 14 | | Machop Lv. 15, Geodude Lv. 15 | | Onix Lv. 17 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Go back south, back to the Nugget Bridge. =============================================================================== Nugget Bridge =============================================================================== Continue south into Cerulean City. =============================================================================== Cerulean City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | TM28 (Dig) ...........................................................

In the northeastern bit of town, you'll remember a house being guarded by a police officer from before. He's failed to do his job because, as you can quite see when inside, a Team Rocket grunt ended up taking TM28 (Dig) from here! Leave via the back door and beat 'im good. After the battle, you'll be given TM28, Dig. Dig is a very decent Ground-type move. It puts the user underground for one turn, and will only be damaged by Earthquake and the like during that time, then deals Ground-type damage on the next turn. The people who originally had the TM taken from them will let you have it, so enjoy. Also note that it is a bit like an Escape Rope when used out of battle. Continue southward to Route 5. =============================================================================== Route 5 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | | Pidgeotto | Normal/Flying | Uncommon | | Jigglypuff | Normal | Rare | | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Abra | Psychic | Common | | Machoke | Fighting | Trade for Cubone | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: No Trainers are found in this location. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Here, you'll be able to find Jigglypuff and Abra. Jigglypuff is just pretty rare and you'll want it for the Pokedex, or perhaps an HM slave. Abra makes a great asset once you evolve it, thereby letting it learn something other than that damnable Teleport. Further along the Route, you find you cannot go east - there is a tree in the way. Okay, south it is. You'll be able to jump the ledges. Do so to find the Pokémon Daycare, where you leave one of your Pokémon. By doing so, the Pokémon will gain 1 EXP. per step you taken. However, the moveset changes are not controlled by you, and you must pay $100 + ($100 X number of levels gained). So... Magikarp...? (Note, however, ublike Gen. II onwards, no breeding is allowed in these games.) Further south, you cannot go into Saffron City because the guard is thirsty and will be a complete douche about it. There is only one option left - taking the underground pathway connecting Route 5 with Route 6. Go into that building. Speak with the girl for a trade - your Cubone for her Machoke. While you don't have a Cubone *yet*, you will want to do this at some point because the trade will cause her Machoke to become Machamp, a great Fighting-type Pokemon. When you're done, go on downstairs and follow the linear path, and exit the building to find Route 6. =============================================================================== Route 6 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | | Pidgeotto | Normal/Flying | Uncommon | | Jigglypuff | Normal | Rare | | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Abra | Psychic | Common | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Weedle Lv. 16 (x2), Caterpie Lv. 16 | | Weepinbell Lv. 16 | | Cubone Lv. 20 | | Butterfree Lv. 20 | | Pidgey Lv. 16 (x3) | | Spearow Lv. 16, Raticate Lv. 16 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| So then, upon exiting from the Underground Path, go to the west and beat up the Bug Catcher, then go southeast for two Jr. Trainers. Further southeast will be a Bug Catcher, again. Then head southwest to find the final trainers of this route, coincidentally a pair of Jr. Trainers. Go south to find Vermilion. =============================================================================== Vermilion City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Bike Voucher .........................................................

After arriving, head on into the Pokémon Center and speak with the nurse behind the counter to heal yourself. Leave the Pokémon Center and go into the house on the left. Speak with the man inside and say "Yes" to get the Old Rod. In the ever-famous words of another GameFAQs user, AstralFire, "Great. A Magikarp stick." Couldn't have put it better. That's all the Old Rod can do, as far as I know - catch Magikarp. Leave the house and go east, then south, then to the far west to find the Pokémon Fan Club. One guy inside mentions something along the lines of his Pikachu being cuter than that one ... where is this "that one"? There isn't another in the building. @_@ Anyhow, speak with the old man and say "Yes" and you will eventually obtain a Bike Voucher, which allows you to obtain a free Bike. Know what?

Heal up if needed at the Pokémon Center. Go back to the Pokémon Fan Club. In Red/Blue, you can speak with a girl that gives a Farfetch'd (a Normal/Flying-type) for a Spearow (also a Normal/Flying type). You should remember that a Farfetch'd cannot be caught anywhere in the Kanto region (guess she got hers from Johto?) in Red/Blue; here in Yellow, you can find one on the Silence Bridge. So why'd I mention it? It's a nice bit of trivia. >_> Next, let's go to the harbor, where the S.S. Anne is docked. =============================================================================== S.S.

Defeat the Gentleman within and leave. Go southeast and downstairs. Go through the door at the left and get the Max Potion. The next room to the left has two Sailors to battle. Go left one more room to another Sailor, as well as an ether. Continue left for a fourth Sailor fight and TM44. TM44 teaches Rest, which is a move that puts your Pokémon to sleep and heals their HP, waking up later. Go left one more room to find two more Trainers to fight. Afterwards, head back east and upstairs, then go back to below the entrance. Go southeast of there to fight another Gentleman past the door. Go left three doors and inside, then beat the two Trainers within. Also grab the item, which is TM08. TM08 teaches Body Slam, a fairly powerful Normal-type attack that has a good chance of also inducing Paralysis on the Pokémon it hits. Continue left some more outside. At the west wall, go down past the stairs to fidn the kitchen. Go to the east side of this room where the chefs are peeling some 'taters and examine the southernmost trash basket to find a Great Ball, which has a 50% greater chance of catching a Pokémon than the basic Poké Ball. Leave the kitchen and go north and downstairs. Go south and downstairs again, then to the far west side to hit the deck, metaphorically of course. Defeat the two Trainers here, then go back into the ship and to where you entered this floor. Go through the first room on the right and you'll be shown a picture of a fat Pokémon, Snorlax. Next room: two Trainers and the useful Max Ether. Two rooms later: two more battles and a Rare Candy! Now, I suggest you leave the ship and heal up at the Pokémon Center. Return and continue along the path you were going along to find your rival! He brags briefly about having caught 40 Pokémon by now before battling you. ______________________________ | BOSS: Rival [rival's name] \ |_______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Pokémon: Eevee (Lv. 20) Normal | | Spearow (Lv. 19) Normal/Flying | | Rattata (Lv. 16) Normal | | Sandshrew (Lv. 18) Ground | | | | Money Earned: $1,300. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eevee is weak to Fighting and is immune to Ghost. | | | | Spearow is weak to Ice, Rock, and Electric. It is immune to Ground. | | | | Rattata is weak only to Fighting and is immune to Ghost. As a bit of | | trivia, in Red/Blue/Green/FireRed/LeafGreen, this Pokemon was actually a | | Lv. 16 Raticate, which is illegal. | | | | Sandshrew is weak to Ice, Grass, Water and is immune to Electric. | | | | Recommendations: For this one, you'll want to do the same as last time. | | Use Pikachu/Graveler for Spearow, Ivysaur for Sandshrew, and just about | | anything will do for Rattata and Eevee, honestly. Guess he's been a bit | | TOO busy catching Pokemon to actually give his Pokemon decent training. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After winning, your rival leaves. Continue and you'll find a man near a trash can. You will end up giving the old man a back massage. He rewards you with HM01 (Cut). Cut is a particularly weak Normal-type move. Using up a useful move slot for a weak move isn't a good idea... Eh, I simply made a Sandshrew my HM slave and moved on. Okay, anyhow, exit the S.S. Anne. =============================================================================== Vermilion City =============================================================================== ______________________ | Vermilion PokéMart \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

Surge \ |_______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Pokémon: Raichu (Lv. 28) Electric | | | | Money Earned: $2,772. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Raichu is weak to Ground only. Its offense consists of the Attack-reducing | | Growl, the Electric-type Thunderbolt that also may paralyze, and the two | | Normal-type moves Mega Punch and Mega Kick. | | | | Recommendations: Graveler is the prime choice here, given its resistance | | or immunity to all attacks here. Something like Dugtrio or Sandslash also | | make good ideas due to immunity, and Pikachu *does* resist Thunderbolt... | | I wouldn't bring a Water- or Flying-type, though... | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After winning, you'll get the Thunderbadge and TM24. This teaches Thunderbolt, one of the best Electric moves in the game. It's personally my favorite, for it balances power with accuracy. Of course, Thunder is more powerful by about 25%, but also has about 30% less accuracy. ############################################################################# ## ## # Section IV - Through Celadon City's Gym **POKEMON_44** # ## ## ############################################################################# =============================================================================== Vermilion Gym =============================================================================== Leave the Gym. =============================================================================== Vermilion City =============================================================================== ______________________ | Vermilion PokéMart \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

Of course, Mr. Mime can only bew gotten this way (or trading), so I guess you'll probably be backtracking to Mt. Moon, eh? Anyhow, exit, go south, and Cut down the tree. Enter the nearby building. In there is another one of Prof. Oak's aides. If you have caught 10+ Pokémon species, you will get HM05, Flash. Flash is a move that will lower the opponents' accuracy by ~25% in battle. Out of battle, it will light up caverns and such that are too dark. For example, Mt. Moon and Diglett's Cave are NOT Flash-able places. You can place it on Abra or Bellsprout, as well as some other Grass and Psychic Pokémon, to my knowledge. It is by no means a requirement for game completion like most HMs, but you'll want it. Leave the building, heading south, and grab the HP Up. Keep going south to find a Moon Stone. Then return north to the Diglett's Cave entrance. Go west and Cut down the tree, then go north into Pewter City. =============================================================================== Pewter City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Old Amber ............................................................

Go north to find an Awakening. Go along the northern path and you'll find four Trainers. After beating the next Trainer, go into the nearby building and upstairs to find another trade. Here, you'll receive a Lickitung for a Dugtrio. Not the best trade in existence, but, in Pokemon Yellow, it is the only place to get one. Also up here is one of Prof. Oak's aides. He'll give you the Itemfinder, but only if you've caught 30+ species of Pokémon. The Itemfinder simply allows you to find hidden items. Leave the building heading east to find a ... thing ... in the middle of the road. This "thing" is a Pokémon known as Snorlax and is among the heaviest of Pokémon, weighing in at just over one-half imperial ton in weight (just under one-half metric ton). You cannot wake up the sleeping Pokémon, nor eject it somehow into the nearby ocean. Well, return to the main part of Route 11 and defeat the southern trainers. You'll fight two, then defeat the last three Trainers. Return to Vermilion. =============================================================================== Vermilion City =============================================================================== ______________________ | Vermilion PokéMart \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

TM30 teaches the move Teleport, the one Abra are infamous for - it allows instant escape from battles and caverns. Defeat the Hiker nearby, then go east and up the ledge. Head to the southeastern portion of the Route and beat that Hiker. Head west and up two ledges to find a Trainer to beat. Defeat him and go north to find a Bug Catcher. Go west to find the grass on this Route. Go back east when done catching or grinding or whatever, then go down two more ledges. Go east and up the ledge to find another Bug Catcher, then north and west is a Jr. Trainer. Go east and up the ledge near the Bug Catcher from before to battle a Hiker. Beat him and go east, then down the ledge to find the final Trainer for this route.

Then go southeast and defeat the Pokémaniac, then northeast to find a ladder. Use it to go down a floor. Go southwest and along the path to another Pokémaniac. Go west and along the path a north/west fork. Go north and you'll soon fight a Jr. Trainer. Go northeast for another Pokémaniac. Continue along the path until the fork. Go north to another battle, then around the rock to the south to find another battle. Use the ladder to the northwest to go down another floor. Get rid of the two Hikers here, then go east. You'll find another Hiker south of the ladder. Use the ladder nearby to go down one more floor. Go west and beat up the Jr. Trainer, then further west for a fight against a Hiker. Go northwest from there for another fight, this one versus a Pokémaniac, then go north and take the ladder. Take out the nearby pair of Jr. Trainers, then go along the path to the west and defeat the final Trainer here. Go west a bit and then south to find the exit. Outside, defeat the Jr. Trainer nearby, then go east. Examine the odd bush to find a Max Ether, then go west from the exit to find a Hiker. Go down the ledge for another Hiker battle, then go east to find the final Pokémaniac of this area. Then simply head into Lavender Town. =============================================================================== Lavender Town =============================================================================== _____________________ | Lavender PokéMart \ |______________________\______________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

They have 1.5x the catch rate of the normal Poké Ball. The Revive is a status-healing item, used for the faint/KO status (heals with 1/2 HP). Buy a few of both. The only thing of interest here at the moment, aside from the Pokémon Center and the PokéMart, would perhaps be the Name Rater's house, south-southwest of the large Pokémon Tower. The Name Rater will allow you to rename any Pokémon THAT YOU HAVE OWNED (ie. not from trades). Exit town, heading west. =============================================================================== Route 8 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | | Pidgeotto | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Jigglypuff | Normal | Common | | Abra | Psychic | Uncommon | | Kadabra | Psychic | Rare | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Clefairy Lv. 22 (x2) | | Growlithe Lv. 24, Vulpix Lv. 24 | | Grimer Lv. 22 (x2), Muk Lv. 22 | | Clefairy Lv. 22, Jigglypuff Lv. 22 | | Nidoran Lv. 23, Nidorina Lv. 23 | | Koffing Lv. 26 | | Meowth Lv. 24 (x3) | | Same Trainer -+-> Pidgey Lv. 19, Nidoran Lv. 19, Rattata Lv. 19, | | '-> Nidoran Lv. 19, Meowth Lv. 19 | | Grimer Lv. 24 (x2) | | Koffing Lv. 22 (x2), Grimer Lv. 23 | | Poliwag Lv. 22 (x2), Poliwhirl Lv. 22 | | Voltorb Lv. 20 (x2), Koffing Lv. 20, Magnemite Lv. 20 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| While you are here, it will be quite key to pick up an Abra or a Kadabra if you haven't yet done so. Kadabra and Alakazam are fairly versatile Pokemon and are useful versus Poison and Fighting types. Go southwest and beat the Lass, then west for a Gambler. You can Cut down the tree to the west to reach the grass for this Route, also taking a shortcut. I still recommend first going northwest of the Gambler and beating a Super Nerd, then go west and beat up the four adjacent Trainers. Go south to find the western exit of the grass patch; enter if you want, though you will have to Cut down a tree. Go west from there to find a Gambler near the building, and a Super Nerd to the north of the Gambler. Go into the building now and go along the Underground Path to Route 7. =============================================================================== Route 7 =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Pidgey | Normal/Flying | Common | | Pidgeotto | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Rattata | Normal | Common | | Jigglypuff | Normal | Common | | Abra | Psychic | Uncommon | | Kadabra | Psychic | Rare | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Go up the ledge and west to find Celadon. =============================================================================== Celadon City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Coin Case ............................................................

Head over to the Pokémon Center and heal your party. Then head over to the western side of the city and go into the Dept. Store. Buy some stuff. There are also a few things of note: firstly, a guy on 3F hands over TM18 (Counter); secondly, give the girl on the rooftop some of the Vending Machine drinks to receive TMs - TM13 (Ice Beam) for Fresh Water, TM48 (Rock Slide) for Soda Pop, and TM49 (Tri Attack) for Lemonade. Also be sure to buy some Lemonades (overall better than Super Potions), and keep a Fresh Water for future perusal in a story event. Return to the Pokémon Center, go around back, follow the path, and go the mansion's back door. Go to the top floor and into another room to get a free Eevee at Lv. 25. With certain methods, it can evolve into one of seven Pokémon: O----------------O------------O----------------------------------------------O | Eevee-lution | Typing | Method | O----------------O------------O----------------------------------------------O | Flareon | Fire | Use a Fire Stone. | | Jolteon | Electric | Use a Thunderstone. | | Vaporeon | Water | Use a Water Stone. | | Espeon | Psychic | Only for Gold/Silver and later releases. | | Umbreon | Dark | Only for Gold/Silver and later releases. | | Leafeon | Grass | Only for Diamond/Pearl and later releases. | | Glaceon | Ice | Only for Diamond/Pearl and later releases. | O----------------O------------O----------------------------------------------O You can evolve it into whatever you want. Throughout the course of the game, you are supposed to get Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, all of which you have except for Squirtle as of now. So I guess I would evolve Eevee into a type of which I have little of; Fire tends to be rare, so I often go for Flareon. Now, head to the bar in the southeastern part of the city. A man within will hand over a free Coin Case for use at the trademark Rocket Game Corner. It's next to the Prize Exchange building nearby. There, you can buy cruelly-caught Pokémon for various prices. Scyther and Abra are mighty fine purchases. The TMs? Meh. You can actually buy Coins in the Rocket Game Corner itself, so you can always spend $92,000 on Dratini and live with it. Next up, go to the Rocket Game Corner. It is southwest of the Pokémon Center. =============================================================================== Rocket Game Corner (Celadon City) =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Escape Rope ..........................................................

Defeat him in battle. He will flee. Examine the poster he was near and you'll be allowed into the base. Inside, go southeast to one grunt and beat him, then go west for another. Go south of the Rocket to find an Escape Rope. Return to the dual staircases and head down a floor. Go south and west to battle another Rocket, then go further west to find a puzzle using arrow tiles. Use the bottom of the leftbound ones, then grab the item in the small alcove to the south to find a Moon Stone. Return to where you stopped and go along the top wall to the Nugget. Return to where you stopped once more, go south slightly, then go east on the arrow to find TM07 (Horn Drill). Go east and south and on the westbound arrow. Take two paces east after you stop, and you'll ride for a bit. After stopping, take the westbound arrow. For another item, take the southern westbound arrow, then the eastmost northbound arrow to find a Super Potion. Now return to where the two westbound arrows were and use the northern one. Take the eastbound arrow below it to leave the maze. Take the upbound staircase now. Upon leaving the stairwell, go west and beat up the Rocket, as well as the one to his north. Go west of there to find a Hyper Potion, a spectacular item that heals 200 HP. Go downstairs and back to the maze area. West of the stairs, you can find a shortcut you can use with the northbound arrows to return to the beginning. Go down the unused stairs. Go south and beat up the Rocket, then go along the path below the grunt to find TM10 (Double-Edge), which teaches a powerful Normal-type move that, however, will slightly damage the user. Go west of the staircase now to find another maze. A-maze-ing, no? *shot* Anyways, go along the path to the south and use the southbound arrow to reach a Rare Candy. Then use the northbound arrow, then go north and around the west wall. At the west/east arrows, go on the western one and then south to where you'll find four eastbound arrows. Take the second one from the bottom to find a Rocket. Kick the crap out of him, then go south and right around the wall. You'll find another staircase going down. Use it. Go west to find an HP Up, then go north along the hall and into the room on the left to find another conveniently-weak Rocket. After winning the battle, you'll then watch him drop the Lift Key. Awesome. Go to the other side of the table and grab the TM02 (Razor Wind). Return to the previously-unusable elevator to find that, lo and behold, the Rockets use working, authentic Lift Keys. (If you forgot how to get there, go back up the stairs you recently used. Use the nortbound arrows you find to the west, then go upstairs again. Navigate this arrow-tile maze as before, then you'll be able to find the elevator.) Opt to go to B4F. There, go north and you'll find the familiar antagonists... ________________ | BOSS: Rocket \ |_________________\___________________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Ekans (Lv. 25) Poison | | Meowth (Lv. 25) Normal | | Koffing (Lv. 25) Poison | | | | Money Earned: $750 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ekans and Koffing are both weak to Ground and Psychic. | | | | Meowth is weak to Fighting and immune to Ghost. | | | | Recommendations: Little to say as far as differences from the previous | | fight go, honestly.

Next up, try to exit Celadon heading west to find another half-ton Snorlax blocking a path. Cut down the nearby Cut tree. Beyond it is a quick two battles (against a Rapidash and Ninetales, each Lv. 29 and of the Fire type). Continue west to find a house and a girl inside said house. Speak with the girl to get HM02, Fly. Fly, in-battle, is a high-power, two-turn, Flying-type move that has the user fly up high on the first turn, avoiding *most* damage to deal heavy damage the next turn. Out of battle, you can use it to Fly to any previously-visited area.

Head on up to the third, foggy floor. Go to the northern part of the room, battle the Channeler, then grab the Escape Rope. Go south and defeat another Channeler, with another to her north. Go upstairs. Go west, battle a Channeler, then grab the Elixer and the Awakening. Go south of the previous Channeler and battle another one, then go further south and grab the HP Up. Go northwest and defeat one more Channeler, then go west and upstairs. On this floor, go east and north and defeat the Channeler, then go southeast for another. Go west and speak with that Channeler. While not possessed like the others, she'll show you the porto-Pokémon Center: the white squares. It will fully heal your Pokémon's HP, PP, and status. Then go west and de-possess that Channeler. Head south afterwards and grab that golden Nugget. Further south is one more Channeler. Get rid of the crazy spirits that are possessing her. Then go east and north to the stairs and head on up. Go west and defeat the Channeler there, then go west south to find an X Accuracy. Go north to find another Channeler. Go around to the west and de-possess that last Channeler. (You know, I honestly have to wonder how many actually were possessed and how many were just high from the incense and stuff that's probably burning in there.) Go southwest and grab up that Rare Candy, then go southeast to find some stairs. Go along to find the ghosty version of the Marowak Team Rocket so cruelly murdered. You'll battle it. Because it is a ghost, you cannot catch it. However, it still remains of the Ground type, and is therefore weak to Ice, Grass, and Water; advantageous over Fire, Rock, and Electric; and immune to Electric. Continue up to the next floor. There, it's time to beat up Jessie and James again. ________________ | BOSS: Rocket \ |_________________\___________________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Arbok (Lv. 27) Poison | | Meowth (Lv. 27) Normal | | Weezing (Lv. 27) Poison | | | | Money Earned: $810 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Arbok and Weezing are both weak to Ground and Psychic. | | | | Meowth is weak to Fighting and immune to Ghost. | | | | Recommendations: Little to say as far as differences from the previous | | fight go, honestly.

This magnificent item acts much like a never-ending Awakening; use it to wake up Sleeping Pokémon in battle and you'll never lose the Flute. Also, you'll be able to go to wake up the sleeping Snorlaxes on a few Routes. Okay, heal up at the Pokémon Center. You have two choices of how to do this. You can... -- ...wake up the Snorlax near Celadon and take the Cycling Road and Routes 16 through 18 (same thing) to Fuchsia. It is quite faster, though you'll need the Bicycle, unless you feel like using a glitch. See section five for further details. -- ...wake up the Snorlax on Route 11 and take the Silence Bridge (which is Routes 12 through 15) to Fuchsia. It is slower, but provides more wild Pokémon, Trainers, EXP., and items. -- ...do both of the above, which I recommend. I am going to document both of the quests. I will divide them somewhat. The Cycling Road option comes first. For your convenience, I'll add some CTRL+F tags to where you'll want to go. -- Cycling Road Idea .................................. **POKEMON_45_CYC** -- Silence Bridge Idea ................................ **POKEMON_45_SIL** -- Fuchsia City ....................................... **POKEMON_45_FUS** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ USING CYCLING ROAD TO REACH FUSCHIA CITY **POKEMON_45_CYC** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go on and Fly to Celadon City. =============================================================================== Celadon City =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Eevee | Normal | Event | | Abra | Psychic | Purchase from Game Corner | | Vulpix | Fire | Purchase from Game Corner | | Wigglytuff | Normal | Purchase from Game Corner | | Scyther | Bug/Flying | Purchase from Game Corner | | Pinsir | Bug | Purchase from Game Corner | | Porygon | Normal | Purchase from Game Corner | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: None. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________________ | Dept.

You'll find Snorlax. "Speak" to it to be prompted to use the Poké Flute. Do so and you will end up battling Snorlax. Snorlax is a Lv. 30 Normal-type Pokémon. It can use Rest (self-heal + Sleep), Snore (attack while sleeping), and some other moves. It has high Special Defense, too. After the battle, go west of Snorlax's old location and go inside of the nearby building. Be sure you get your Bicycle and go into the gate. Leave the guard house and you should be on Cycling Road. =============================================================================== Cycling Road (Routes 16, 17, 18) =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Doduo | Normal/Flying | Common | | Dodrio | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Rattata | Normal | Rare | | Raticate | Normal | Common | | Spearow | Normal/Flying | Uncommon | | Fearow | Normal/Flying | Rare | | Ponyta | Fire | Uncommon | | Parasect | Bug/Grass | Trade for Tangela | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Grimer Lv. 29, Koffing Lv. 29 | | Machop Lv. 28 (x2), Mankey Lv. 28 | | Mankey Lv. 29, Machop Lv. 29 | | Weezing Lv. 33 | | Weezing Lv. 28 (x2), Koffing Lv. 28 | | Mankey Lv. 29, Machop Lv. 29 | | Weezing Lv. 28 (x2), Koffing Lv. 28 | | Machop Lv. 29, Machamp Lv. 29 | | Mankey Lv. 29, Primeape Lv. 29 | | Voltorb Lv. 29 (x2) | | Machoke Lv. 33 | | Primeape Lv. 29, Machoke Lv. 29 | | Koffing Lv. 25 (x3), Weezing Lv. 25 (x2) | | Muk Lv. 33 | | Mankey Lv. 26 (x2), Machop Lv. 26, Machamp Lv. 26 | | Weezing Lv. 29, Muk Lv. 29 | | Spearow Lv. 26 (x3), Fearow Lv. 26 | | Spearow Lv. 29, Fearow Lv. 29 | | Dodrio Lv. 34 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| *thinks of the S.S. Anne* Beat up the Trainers at the top of the Cycling Road, then start heading down the slope. On the right, you'll find some grass and some more Trainers further down, with another to their west. Further down is a fork. Go along to the left for three Trainers, then come back up and go down the right parh for some more. Once they converge, defeat another Trainer. Continue down and get off the slope. Go east into the building and you'll be able to get off your bike. Go up the stairs and you can have a trade: if you hand over Tangela, you'll receive Parasect. It's a low-quality trade, given that it isn't very hard to level a Paras up a few levels, and Tangela are relatively rarer. Once outside the building, go southeast to find a bit of grass with some more Trainers. Defeat the Bird Keeper trio and head east to find Fuschia, or fly to Lavender to go along the Silence Bridge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ USING SILENCE BRIDGE TO REACH FUSCHIA CITY **POKEMON_45_SIL** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get to Lavender Town. =============================================================================== Lavender Town =============================================================================== _____________________ | Lavender PokéMart \ |______________________\______________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. | | | O===========================================================================O Continue southward along the Route for a while. You'll fight four Trainers as you continue southward to the Snorlax. When you "speak" to it, you'll be prompted to use it and thereby wake it up. Do so. Snorlax is a Lv. 30 Normal-type Pokémon. It can use Rest (self-heal + Sleep), Snore (attack while sleeping), and some other moves. It has high Special Defense, too. Continue along the Route to find a house. Go inside and speak with the man inside to receive the Super Rod. Quite useful for fishing (unlike the Old Rod). Leave the house and go south and you'll notice some woody area to the west. Use Cut to get in there; defeat the Fisherman and grab the Iron. Go southeast of the bushes to find a Jr. Trainer. Then go south and Cut into the patch of grass nearby, if you want. Keep going south and you'll soon meet a female Jr. Trainer, then continue south for a Bird Keeper and another Jr. Trainer. Go west from the sign mentioning Silence Bridge and examine the space right of the sign behind the barrier to find a Calcium. Continue along the linear path for a bit. Your fifth battle should be versus a Bird Keeper with four Lv. 26 birds. Go west and you'll find a PP Up in the space between the barriers. After another five battles, the last three of which are Bird Keepers, you should be technically at the end of Silence Bridge. Go south for another Bird Keeper. Go south for two more battles, then go west and Cut down the tree to find some Bikers. If you Cut down the tree below the northern grass, you'll be able to skip a few Trainers, except one Jr. Trainer with a Lv. 33 Clefairy. You'll also be getting TM20 (Rage) this way. Of course, defeat the remaining eleven Trainers, too. Once you're done, go west into Fuchsia City. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOU SHOULD BE IN FUSCHIA CITY BY NOW **POKEMON_45_FUS** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =============================================================================== Fuchsia City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Good Rod .............................................................

This person will (for free) delete any move (be it level-learned, TM, or HM) from the Pokémon's current moveset. Go east to find another few houses. One is the residence of the Safari Warden, who seems to have lost his (golden) false teeth. The other house is one in which you get the Good Rod by speaking with the man inside. Okay, now find the sign for Fuchsia City. See the light grass path? Go along it and you soon will find the PokéMart. Visit there if you wish. Continue along the path and you will soon come by the Safari Zone. Come with $500 - you are required to go here. =============================================================================== Safari Zone =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Carbos ...............................................................

The Safari Zone, much like similar locations in most of the other games, allows you to catch certain Pokémon that sometimes cannot be found elsewhere (without trading). The system is like this: when you get into a battle, you can either try to catch, throw a rock, or throw some bait. The first allows you to try to catch the opponent using a Safari Ball, which you obtain 30 of per trip. The second increases the catch rate and also makes it likely for the opponent to leave. The third decreases the catch and run-away rates. You do not use your own Pokémon. You can save in here, unlike with FireRed/LeafGreen, which is vulnerable to one of the many glitches. Okay, let's pay our $500 and enter. Go out to the north. In the Safari Zone, go northeast to the Center Area. There, go upstairs to the east and grab the Carbos found to the north. Go to the main square area to find TM37 (Egg Bomb) on a bridge in the water, then go the northwestern corner of the main square to find a Max Potion. Go northeast to the Rest House and grab the nearby Full Restore. Go northwest from there and then west to Area 2. Here, go west and along the winding route to find a few water pools. Go around and up the northern trees; you'll get a Protein and TM40 (Skull Bash) as you do. Continue to the northwest corner of the Area, then go south on the west side of the pools. Boom! Area 3. Nearby are the Warden's Gold Teeth. Go west to find TM32 (Double Team), and go into the "secret" house. Within, you'll be given HM03. HM03 will teach the VERY necessary move known as Surf, which allows you to tread water out of battle. In battle, it is a very powerful Water-type move. You can't tread water, though, until you beat the next Gym. Do want you want now. Return to Fuchsia when you're ready. =============================================================================== Fuchsia City =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | HM04 (Strength) ......................................................

(Well, five by Gold/Silver's release, but whatever.) This one is the Electric/Flying type Zapdos. You will want a Pokémon that can deal statuses: Paralysis is very preferable, though Sleep is okay, too. You'll want to bring along some Ultra Balls from Celadon.

Go along the curve southward and, to the right, you'll notice an item ball. This is actually a Voltorb, so fight! Go east to find a dead end with a Voltorb and Electrode; examine the wall next to the Electrode's (old) location to find a Max Elixer. Go back to the middle southbound path and ride it to the far south. To the west, you'll find TM33 (Reflect); east, you'll find a Voltorb. Go east along the unused path and you'll find two more Voltorb. Once you see the north-south crack in the wall, go west and grab TM25 (Thunder) and east to find a Voltorb. Continue east to the wall, then go north along it; you'll find a PP Up and a Rare Candy in a room eventually. Return to the main hall and go up and down the wall. The item ball you'll soon reach is another Electrode. Go up the path and examine the eastern wall crack to find a useful PP Up. Go west and south to find Zapdos. Save and engage it in battle! _____________________________ | Special Encounter: Zapdos \ |______________________________\______________________________________________ | Type : Electric/Flying. | | Level: Level 50. | | Moves: - Drill Peck | | - Detect | | - Agility | | - Thunder Wave | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Zapdos is weak to Ice and Rock. It is immune to Ground. It will resist | | Grass, Flying, Fighting, and Bug types. It's Drill Peck move will deal | | extra damage to Fighting, Bug, and Grass Pokémon. That is its only move | | that deals damage; Agility boosts Speed, Detect makes an attack miss, and | | Thunder Wave paralyzes. | | | | There are a few ways to go about this. The main way would be simply to | | lower Zapdos's HP as much as possible, then bring about a non-damaging | | status, such as Paralysis or Sleep. Shoot out an Ultra Ball afterwards. | | That is all you CAN do. The only thing that could make it better would be | | using False Swipe, but that is not in this game, sadly. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Okay, I think we're done with sidequesting.

Use it. Go east of there to Mr. Psychic's house. Speak with the man inside to get TM29, which teaches Psychic. Continue east and circle around to find Silph Co. There will be a Rocket grunt sleeping on the job once you beat Koga. (Yeah, if you couldn't figure it out yet, you could have come here BEFORE going to Fuchsia. That'd be too much Flying around, though.) Ignore it for now. I think the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron City Gym are in the northeast corner of the city. Go on in to the former. =============================================================================== The Fighting Dojo (Saffron City) =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Hitmonchan | Fighting | Event | | Hitmonlee | Fighting | Event | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Machop Lv. 31, Mankey Lv. 31, Primeape Lv. 31 | | Machop Lv. 32, Machoke Lv. 32 | | Mankey Lv. 31 (x2), Primeape Lv. 31 | | Primeape Lv. 36 | | Hitmonlee Lv. 37, Hitmonchan Lv. 37 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| For the record, all of the Pokémon in this Gym are of the Fighting type. These Pokémon therefore... -- ...are weak to Flying and Psychic. -- ...have type-based advantages over Rock, Normal, and Ice. -- ...resist Bug and Rock. -- ...have no immunities based on type. After defeating the fifth and final Trainer, you'll be allowed to get either a Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan, both Fighting types. The former has higher Attack, but lacks real move-type variety. The latter has a diverse move-type learnset, but lacks the Special Attack to support it. Your choice.

I hope you're ready. <== 5F ==> Use the elevator to reach 5F. Go southwest and along the narrow hall to find a Rocket grunt near a square thingy. That thingy will make you real lost real fast. FOLLOW THIS FAQ; LEAVE THOSE "THINGIES" ALONE. Beat up this Rocket and use the teleporter, then reuse. Go along the eastbound corridor to find the Card Key. That will let you in all rooms of the building. By technicality, you could go to 3F and beat up Giovanni again. But I'm gonna make you work for that info... Ah, crap. Well, do this stuff anyways. It's good EXP. and items and money. We'll work our way up from 2F. <== 2F ==> Go below the stairs to find a Rocket, then go southwest to find another one between two tables. Go into the room east of here and beat up the Scientist. There are two rooms to the west. Use the northern one to find a girl who will hand over TM36 (Self-Destruct); the southern one yields a Scientist battle. Use the stairs to reach 3F. <== 3F ==> Go along the middle corridor and beat up the Rocket, then unlock the two doors to the west. Defeat the Rocket Scientist (see what I did there?) and go northeast to find a Hyper Potion. Go on up to 4F. <== 4F ==> Go south and slay the Rocket in battle, then use the tiny hall in the middle of the room. Go west to another Rocket grunt, then go through the northern door to find another Scientist. Baffle his intelligent mind with your mighty power. Open the final door in this floor to find a minor wealth of minor items: Full Heal, Escape Rope, and a Max Revive. Okay, that last one isn't very minor! Go upstairs to 5F again. <== 5F ==> Beat the Rocket to the east, then beat up the Juggler in the big room nearby. Examine the Pokémon Reports, for it might intrigue you, then go through the door to the west to free someone. Go to the western bit of the area and defeat another Rocket Scientist. Unlock the door to the west to find some Protein, then go up to 6F. <== 6F ==> Defeat the Rocket to the south, then go west of there and unlock the door to find another couple of items: X Accuracy and HP Up. Then beat up the Super-Duper-Mega Nerd ... erm, I mean Scientist ... to the north. (Yes, I'm running out of creative sayings here.) Then go up to 7F. <== 7F ==> Beat up the nearby Rocket, then open the southeastern room to find TM03 (Swords Dance). The next door allows another fight. After that one, go along the small hallway in the middle of the room and you'll eventually find some Calcium and some guy you don't know but obviously want to kick the crap out of and I can't think of a reason why not to so do it. *whew!* After beating that Scientist, go back around to the elevator and beat the Rocket west of there, then use the door to the south to free up some Silph employees. (Or not. No one cares.) Head up to 8F when you're done. <== 8F ==> Go east and beat the Rocket until he blasts off, then go down the middle corridor and get rid of this Rocket. Go up the room to the left to find another Scientist. Unlock the door to the left to find another Silph employee -- or, again, don't do it because it creates minor humor. Go up to 9F. <== 9F ==> Go through the two southern doors to find a Scientist. Baffle his mind, like usual, then go to the other side of the room and rocket defeat down the Team Rocket grunt's throat. Go into the room to the west to find a nurse who will freely heal your party. Which you REALLY needed by now. After all, I'm so very sure a Lv. 50 Zapdos has SO much trouble electrocuting bad guys left and right, and not to mention that a Lv. 128 'M probably scares the living crap out of them and there's no need for PP by the time they run to their mothers. :P Random references aside, enjoy your rest and go north and through the door. Get your Pokémon back in gear by metaphorically killing the Rocket. Then go up to 10F. <== 10F ==> That's a Scientist in your face, no? Don't they make about $100,000+ yearly? Steal his cash -- $1,450, which is actually close to average weekly earnings -- and unlock the southern door if you feel that Silph employees shouldn't be locked up for being unable to use Pokémon at a skill equal to ours; had they, we wouldn't be doing all of this work for 'em. Anyhow, go southwest and beat up the weakling Rocket and snatch up the three items: Carbos, Rare Candy, and TM26 (Earthquake)! Awesome! Earthquake is very easily one of the most powerful moves out there - it is of the Ground type and has a high enough Accuracy to almost guarantee a hit on non-Flying Pokémon. <== 11F ==> Go southeast and beat up the Rocket. In the nearby room, you can see the Silph Co. president, alongside Giovanni. Well, we can't let this injustice pass. Take the elevator down to 1F and heal outside at the Pokémon Center, then go back to 3F via the elevator. <== 3F ==> Go west from where the Rocket is near the central table and you'll find a teleporter. Use it. ... And there, you'll find your rival. Couldn't he have bothered to eliminate some of the grunts for us? >_< As before, his parties depend on whether you've beaten him before or not. ______________________________ | BOSS: Rival [rival's name] \ |_______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Pokémon: Sandslash (Lv. 38) Ground | | Kadabra (Lv. 35) Psychic | | Ninetales (Lv. 37) Fire | | Magneton (Lv. 35) Electric | | Vaporeon (Lv. 40) Water | | | | Money Earned: $2,600. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Pokémon: Sandslash (Lv. 38) Ground | | Kadabra (Lv. 35) Psychic | | Ninetales (Lv. 35) Fire | | Cloyster (Lv. 37) Water/Ice | | Jolteon (Lv. 40) Electric | | | | Money Earned: $2,600. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Pokémon: Sandslash (Lv. 38) Ground | | Kadabra (Lv. 35) Psychic | | Cloyster (Lv. 35) Water/Ice | | Magneton (Lv. 37) Electric | | Flareon (Lv. 40) Fire | | | | Money Earned: $2,600. | |=============================================================================| | Kadabra is weak to Ghost and Bug. | | | | Cloyster is weak to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Rock. | | | | Ninetales and Flareon are weak to Rock, Water, and Ground. | | | | Magneton and Jolteon are weak to Ground. | | | | Sandslash is weak to Grass, Water, and Ice, and is immune to Electric. | | | | Vaporeon is weak to Grass and Electric. | | | | Recommendations: | | ~ Pikachu -> Cloyster and Vaporeon | | ~ Wartortle/Blastoise/Graveler -> Ninetales and Flareon | | ~ Sandslash/Dugtrio -> Magneton and Jolteon | | ~ Ivysaur/Venusaur/Wartortle/Blastoise -> Sandslash | | ~ Just about anyone -> Kadabra | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, your rival leaves. Continue along and speak to the man to receive a Lv. 15 Lapras. Lapras is quite the rare Pokémon; it also a Water/Ice type, meaning, if you've been following this FAQ and haven't traded, that this is only the second (partially-) Ice-type you've seen, the first being about one minute ago. *ahem* Take the bottom teleporter, and then go forward to finish the final fight from Jessie and James. ________________ | BOSS: Rocket \ |_________________\___________________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Arbok (Lv. 31) Poison | | Meowth (Lv. 31) Normal | | Weezing (Lv. 31) Poison | | | | Money Earned: $930 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Arbok and Weezing are both weak to Ground and Psychic. | | | | Meowth is weak to Fighting and immune to Ghost. | | | | Recommendations: Little to say as far as differences from the previous | | fight go, honestly.

Or blasted off again - whichever you prefer. Speak with the president to obtain the Master Ball. This is the rarest of rare Pokéballs. This can catch any Pokémon 100% of the time.

Abra is just a punching bag, only | | knowing Teleport. The other two know both Psychic, Psywave, and Recover, | | with Kadabra also having Kinesis and Alakazam with Reflect. In short, all | | damaging moves are of the Psychic type, only being super-effective to | | Poison or Fighting types. | | | | Recommendations: Your strongest Pokemon is probably Pikachu or one of the | | starters, so I'd go there. If that isn't your strongest, go ahead and use | | it so long as it isn't a Fighting or Poison type (except Haunter and | | Gengar). Ghost-types make nice back-up. Level should be about 50 by now. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Once you defeat Sabrina, you'll obtain the Marshbadge, TM46 (Psywave), and the ability to Rock Smash rocks out of battles. Why the MARSHbadge for a Psychic Gym only really near grassy routes? If anything, Fuschia is more suited for a marshy environment. And, in fact, wouldn't SOULbadge make more sense in a Psychic Gym anyways? Whatever; I don't know Nintendo logic. ############################################################################# ## ## # Section VII - Through Cinnabar Island's Gym **POKEMON_47** # ## ## ############################################################################# =============================================================================== Saffron Gym =============================================================================== Once you have obtained the Marshbadge, exit the Gym. =============================================================================== Saffron City =============================================================================== ____________________ | Saffron PokéMart \ |_____________________\_______________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

Do this two more times with that Strength boulder to hit some underground water river. It is a fast-flowing river; you can't stop it and move forward until three boulders lock it. There are two currents here, as well: one blocking the exit, and the other blocking Articuno. Southeast, in the only land tile, you'll find a Ultra Ball. Grab it and Surf back to where you'll reach land, then go west and south, then up the ladder. Here, take the ladder to the south up a floor and examine the rock to the east to find a Nugget. Go back to the previous floor and go around the land to find a few Strength boulders. Examine the standalone rock nearby for a Max Elixer. Now, push the easternmost boulder to the far north, then the one next to it one tile west and one tile south. Go around the hole and push the other boulder to the far west, then push both boulders into their holes. Jump down one hole and you'll find a blocked current. Surf north to the island and you'll find the Legendary Frost Bird, Articuno. Save and engage it in battle! _______________________________ | Special Encounter: Articuno \ |________________________________\____________________________________________ | Type : Ice/Flying. | | Level: Level 50. | | Moves: - Mist | | - Mind Reader | | - Agility | | - Ice Beam | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Articuno is weak to Fire, Rock (4x), and Electric-typed moves. Its typing | | makes it immune to Ground, and have advantages (with Ice Beam) over the | | Grass, Ground, and Flying types. | | | | There are a few ways to go about this. The main way would be simply to | | lower Articuno's HP as much as possible, then bring about a non-damaging | | status, such as Paralysis or Sleep. Shoot out an Ultra Ball afterwards. | | That is all you CAN do. The only thing that could make it better would be | | using False Swipe, which is not in this game.

That's for something else... | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, go to the southern land and use the ladder, then go south and use another ladder, then go northeast and use another, then go southwest and around to another, then east to find a boulder.

Not much to do here, but we'll get around to it all pretty fast. Check out the PokéMart if you want. Heal up at the Pokémon Center, and go into the building to the left of the Pokémon Center, the Pokémon Lab. When you enter, the first room on the right has a Rhydon that'll be given to you for a Golduck. The woman across from him will give you Dewgong for your Growlithe. The former trade is good, and the latter is okay if you've got two Fire-types by now. In the second room, the scientist hands over TM35 (Metronome). The third room has a Seel he'll give you for Ponyta, which you probably haven't even SEEN yet. (And you can find Seel in the Seaform Islands.) You'll also find the Resurrection Machine. You can give the doctor your Dome Fossil, Helix Fossil, or Old Amber to receive a Lv. 5 Kabuto, Omanyte, or Aerodactyl (respectively) later on. Next stop is the Pokémon Mansion, which I think is in the northwestern portion of Cinnabar. Ground is a key type to make wild battles easier by far. =============================================================================== The Pokémon Mansion (Cinnabar Island) =============================================================================== ___________________ | Items Checklist \ |____________________\________________________________________________________ | Calcium ..............................................................

Go into the small room to the west and you'll find a statue, which actually functions as a switch. They are found throughout the Pokémon Mansion and open and close the doors, though only for your current floor. Go up to the second floor and beat the Trainer to the south (you'll need to speak with him). Use the stairs next to the other stairs and go up to find a Burglar to the north. There are two paths in this room. Examine the dead end of the top one to find a useful Max Revive, and go along the other one to find an also-useful Max Potion. Return to the previous floor. Go to the eastern portion of the room to find a Calcium. Go up the stairs in the room north of the other two stairwells. Go to the east to find an Iron in another room. Go back and use the statue switch, then go through the southern door. Beat up the Scientist and you'll note the two ledges nearby. Use the western one. Upon landing, defeat the nearby Scientist and go between the plants to grab a Carbos. Use the downbound staircase, then go north and into the room on the left. Defeat the Burglar within and get the nearby TM14 (Blizzard), which is a decent move for Articuno, though it doesn't replace Ice Beam's similar power and greater accuracy. Trigger the statue switch nearby and leave the room to the west. Get the Full Restore on the west wall and go back to the right side of the room, then north through the door. Defeat the Scientist to the north, then trigger the switch in the next room to the north. Go into the room on the left and snatch the Rare Candy, then go left and grab TM22 (Solarbeam) from the table. Go south to find the Secret Key, which is required to open the doors on the Cinnabar Island's Gym. To exit, use an Escape Rope, Teleport, or return to the Blizzard TM's room and flip the switch there. Go upstairs and north to the exit. O=============================================================================O | SUMMARIZATION OF THE POKEMON MANSION DIARY ENTRIES | | | | At various places in the Pokémon Mansion, you could have found a few paper | | fragments at tables, had you opened the proper doors. I didn't guide you | | to most of them, mainly because I could summarize it here in a more | | coherent and informative manner. | | | | Okay, so here's how it is. Some Pokémon Scientists, apparently from the | | Kanto region (which is a place in Japan, FYI), traveled to South America. | | There, they found a new species of Pokémon, one that is now believed to be | | one of the ancestors of all Pokémon due to the ability it has to learn any | | move. This Pokémon became known as Mew. | | | | Now, as we know, Pokémon reproduce using Eggs, correct? Well, these idiots | | decided to SOMEHOW IMPREGNATE Mew. Amazingly enough, it all works, and Mew | | becomes the first Pokémon to give live birth. The child became known as | | Mewtwo. Something went wrong with Mewtwo - I think because they did some | | experiments on it - and Mewtwo became extremely violent, yet also very | | powerful. It escaped the lab and, from then on, has failed to fully trust | | humans. Mewtwo has, unknown to all, moved to Cerulean Cave. | | | O=============================================================================O Anyhow, leave the Mansion. =============================================================================== Cinnabar Island =============================================================================== ______________________ | Pokémon Encounters \ |_______________________\_____________________________________________________ | Pokémon Species | Pokémon Type | Rarity | |---------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------| | Dewgong | Water/Ice | Trade for Growlithe | | Rhydon | Rock/Ground | Trade for Golduck | | Muk | Poison | Trade for Kangaskhan | | Kabuto | Rock/Water | Revive a Dome Fossil | | Omanyte | Rock/Water | Revive a Helix Fossil | | Aerodactyl | Rock/Flying | Revive an Old Amber | |=============================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers found in this location. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| _____________________ | Cinnabar PokéMart \ |______________________\______________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

EVERY SINGLE POKEMON here is of the Fire type - that is no lie. Remember, Water Pokémon are the best, as they resist Fire while having a type-based advantage. In the northwestern corner of each room you come into, you'll find a quiz machine. You'll be given a question. You'll give an answer. If it is correct, you will be allowed forward (you still can battle the Trainer); if it is incorrect, you'll battle and THEN the door opens. Anyhow, here we go with the Q&A. Beware that I simply copy-and-pasted the question and other data from my FireRed/LeafGreen FAQ, because I was using a Japanese Green Version at the time and can't read Japanese very well. However, the responses (Answers) are indeed correct for the question number. O=============================================================================O | Question #1: Does Caterpie evolve into Metapod? | | Answer : Yes. | | Why? : Have you ever leveled Caterpie to Lv. 7? | O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O | Question #2: There are nine certified Pokémon League Badges? | | Answer : No. | | Why? : Depends on how you look at it. If you look at it solely from | | a Kanto viewpoint, there are eight, not nine. If you look at | | from the series-wide viewpoint, there are 40 badges as of the | | release of Pokémon Black/White. | O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O | Question #3: Poliwag evolves three times? | | Answer : No. | | Why? : Poliwag will evolve into Poliwhirl, which is one evolution. | | Poliwhirl then evolves into Poliwrath or Politoed, but only | | one of them. Therefore, it evolves two times (maximum). | O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O | Question #4: Are Electric moves effective against Ground-type Pokémon? | | Answer : No. | | Why? : Firstly, only Grass, Ice, and Water do super-effective damage | | to Ground Pokémon. Secondly, if you look at it from a more | | scientific viewpoint, electricity from lightning is somewhat | | absorbed into the ground, with the rest making fire and stuff.| O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O | Question #5: Pokémon of the same kind (species) and level are not | | identical? | | Answer : Yes. (In most cases!) | | Why? : There are factors that you cannot control - Effort Values, | | Individual Values, and natures - that affect stats and even | | the Pokémon's (non-) Shiny status. Then there is the moveset | | and contest stats. Then there is the EXP. gain based on the | | trading thing. Then some Pokémon of the species can have | | different forms (ie. Unown). The odds are astronomical that | | any two non-Event Pokémon would be COMPLETELY IDENTICAL. | O-----------------------------------------------------------------------------O | Question #6: TM28 contains Tombstony? | | Answer : No. | | Why? : Remember, back around the second badge, when you could have | | obtained the Dig TM, TM28? | O=============================================================================O Exit, heal, and return to the Gym. Speak with Blaine to begin! ___________________________ | BOSS: Gym Leader Blaine \ |____________________________\________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Ninetales (Lv. 48) Fire | | Rapidash (Lv. 50) Fire | | Arcanine (Lv. 54) Fire | | | | Money Earned: $5,346 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Each of Blaine's Pokémon are weak to Water, Rock, and Ground. They each | | resist Grass, Ice, and Bug types. They have a type-based advantage over | | those three as well. Each Pokémon knows some type of Fire-type move -- | | Flamethrower, Fire Blast, or Fire Spin -- and that's their only Fire-type | | move, except with Arcanine, who has both Flamethrower and Fire Blast. | | | | Recommendations: Any Water or Rock type will be excellent (at Lv. 52+) as | | Fire deals half-damage to them (1/4-damage on Omastar/Kabutops). Your Surf | | Pokémon would be key for this battle, too. Just do your best, I guess. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After this battle, you'll be given the Volcanobadge and TM38 (Fire Blast). Fire Blast is an excellent Fire-type move of a power equal to that of Thunder, Blizzard, and Hydro Pump. It also has the highest accuracy (~85%) of these. It will make an excellent addition to your Charizard or Moltres; you'll be getting the latter in Victory Road.

You'll have to find out by getting to him using the arrows, and if that isn't a big enough hint, proceed to let Hitmonlee repeatedly kick your groin. The type focusing of this Gym is probably meant to be Ground; however, it's actually fairly unpredictable, especially in Gold/Silver and their remakes. Varied teams are an absolute must; your main party's levels should be around Lv. 50. Use the leftbound arrow tile to find a Tamer. Beat him and and use the arrow tile to the west to go up and beat up a Blackbelt. Go around the wall to the right to find another fight. Then go south and east to find the middle bit of the Gym. You can skip the three trainers here, but why would you? Go east to find a Revive, then go north and beat the Cooltrainer. Go west and beat the Blackbelt. Go back to the entrance and go north along the east wall to the northeastern corner of the Gym. Go west and you'll find the leader of the Viridian Gym. _________________________________ | BOSS: Gym Leader (?)

They | | are immune to Electric. | | | | Recommendations: Here, you'll find that Articuno will your best bet by far | | for this battle by bringing along a Ground immunity from Earthquake and | | Fissure and some decent Ice moves. Nidoking and Nidoqueen will probably be | | a problem for Articuno, though, if it doesn't one-hit-kill with Blizzard | | because of the potential for Thunder. Pokemon such as Kadabra, Alakazam, | | Graveler, and Golem are better suited for them. All Pokemon should be | | Lv. 55+ by now. | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, you'll get the eighth and last Kanto Gym Badge, the Earthbadge. You also get TM27, Fissure, which is a one-hit kill move that will not be likely to hit; it's pretty much worthless. Speak to Giovanni after the battle and he'll vanish, never to be seen again for another two years (in-game; in real life, it's more like fifteen) in the games of HeartGold/SoulSilver as part of a Celebi event. ############################################################################# ## ## # Section IX - Through the Pokémon League & More **POKEMON_49** # ## ## ############################################################################# =============================================================================== Viridian Gym =============================================================================== And so, you have obtained all eight Kanto Badges.

One more trial stands before you and the four elite Trainers of the Elite Four and the mysterious, unnamed Champion. You should be well prepared for this journey, for the Pokémon here are of a decent power, and even Moltres is found here! <== 1F ==> Once you enter, push the nearby Strength boulder one tile south, to the east wall, two tiles north, east to the wall, north two tiles, east one, and south one. Go back west and walk on the newly-opened path to the intersection. There, go east and along the path north. You'll find TM43 (Sky Attack) on the right, and a Rare Candy on the left. Note that you will obviously need to exit and re-enter to grab a second item. Return to the intersection and go west. Defeat the first of eleven tough Trainers, then go past and north to find another one. Go up the ladder nearby to reach 2F. <== 2F ==> Go south and push the Strength boulder south once, west once, south once, and west once to get it on the switch. Get onto the raised ledge and beat the Blackbelt there, then continue along east to find a Juggler. Get off of the platformer and go east. At the wall, head north and west to find a Tamer. Grab the nearby Full Heal after the battle, then go up and around the rock to find another Juggler. Get the nearby TM17 (Submission). Go back to the other side of the rock and use the nearby ladder to find 3F. <== 3F ==> Go northeast and beat the Cooltrainer, then grab the nearby Max Revive. Ignore the Strength boulder and go to the northwest corner of the raised area and use the ladder to go down. <== 2F ==> Beat the nearby Pokémaniac, then go east on the north wall to find a Guard Spec. South of there, you'll find the Legendary Fire Bird, Moltres! Save and engage in battle! ______________________________ | Special Encounter: Moltres \ |_______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Type : Fire/Flying. | | Level: Level 50. | | Moves: - Endure | | - Fire Spin | | - Agility | | - Flamethrower | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Moltres is weak to Rock (4x), Water, and Electric. It is immune to Ground | | moves. It resists Grass (1/4), Fighting, and Bug (1/4) typse. It has a | | move-based advantage over Grass, Ice, and Bug types. | | | | There are a few ways to go about this. The main way would be simply to | | lower Moltres's HP as much as possible, then bring about a non-damaging | | status, such as Paralysis or Sleep. Shoot out an Ultra Ball afterwards. | | That is all you CAN do. The only thing that could make it better would be | | using False Swipe, really, but its not here. Don't use the Master Ball, | | though. We have to save that for another Pokémon.... | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, return upstairs. <== 3F ==> Go back to the right where the Strength boulder was. Push it north twice and then west into the wall. Go south and snatch up TM47 (Explosion). Push the Strength boulder south once, west four times, south thrice, and east once to hit the switch. Return to the far right. Get on the raised ledge and go along the newly-opened path. Defeat the Cooltrainer, then go along the southwest path. Get off of the platform and fight some Trainers to the east. Now, go past them whilst hugging the southern wall to find a Strength boulder near a hole. Push the boulder in there and follow it. Push it to the far left onto the switch. Go north of there to find TM05 (Mega Punch). Get on the raised ledge and head to the ladder. Use it and continue along to leave Victory Road. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Indigo Plateau =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ___________________________ | Indigo Plateau PokéMart \ |____________________________\________________________________________________ | Item Name ..........................................................

There, you'll find a Pokémon Center plus a PokéMart. Buy a bunch of Hyper Potions and Full Restores and Revive. Now, we need to construct a team. Each of the Elite Four will specialize in a type: Ice, Fighting, Ghost, and Dragon. Henceforth, I give you this team. It works best at Lv. 55+. ~ Ninetales, Arcanine, or Moltres (Fire-type) ~ Pidgeot or Fearow (Flying-type) ~ Haunter or Gengar (Ghost-type) ~ Lapras or Articuno (Water/Ice-type) ~ Zapdos or Pikachu (Electric-type) ~ Venusaur (Grass-type) I WILL MAKE A LOT OF REFERENCES TO THIS TEAM IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE I AM QUITE SURE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GAIN THESE BY NOW. MODIFY YOUR SPECIFIC STRATEGY AS NEEDED. And, yeah, I know those aren't their REAL types; that is just another way to refer to them. Proceed inside when you need to. Okay, first up is Lorelei, the frosty first member of the Elite Four. (Although is can be debated she is the Water/Ice-user - four are part-Ice, four are part-Water.) ____________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Lorelei \ |_____________________________\_______________________________________________ | Pokémon: Dewgong (Ice/Water) Lv. 54 | | Slowbro (Water/Psychic) Lv. 54 | | Cloyster (Ice/Water) Lv. 53 | | Jynx (Ice/Psychic) Lv. 56 | | Lapras (Ice/Water) Lv. 56 | | | | Money Earned: $5,544 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dewgong is weak to Fighting, Rock, Grass, and Electric.

It can use Body | | Slam (Normal; may Paralyze (30% chance)), Confuse Ray, Blizzard (Ice), | | and Hydro Pump (Water). | | | | Recommendations: | | ~ Electric-type -> Dewgong, Slowbro, Cloyster, Lapras | | ~ Fire- (preferable) or Ghost-type -> Jynx | |_____________________________________________________________________________| After winning, head on to Bruno's room. __________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Bruno \ |___________________________\_________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Onix (Lv. 53) Rock/Ground | | Onix (Lv. 56) Rock/Ground | | Hitmonchan (Lv. 55) Fighting | | Hitmonlee (Lv. 55) Fighting | | Machamp (Lv. 58) Fighting | | | | Money Earned: $5,742 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Both Onix are weak to Grass (4x), Water (4x), Fighting, and Ice types. | | They both can use Slam (Normal) and Rock Slide (Rock) to damage.

Go north along it to find a Max Elixir. Go to the far west and use the ladder there to reach the second floor. Go along the northeastern path to find an Ultra Ball, then go along the southeastern one to the fork. Go north to find a Max Revive and continue to where both paths meet up. Go north of there and downstairs. Here, Surf to the southeast to find a useful Rare Candy, then go back and grab the Ultra Ball from the platformer. Go south and around to find another ladder; head up to the next floor. At the fork in this path, go north to find a Full Restore, then use the other path to reach another ladder. Go southeast to find a Max Revive, then follow the path to the west to find the maze again. Go west and south to find a Rare Candy, then north to find the next ladder. Use it and go along the twisty path to the fork. Go east to find the Max Elixer, then head along the other path to meet up with some water. Go west and grab the Ultra Ball and Max Revive, then Surf east. You'll reach another twisting, turning path. At the northeast corner, you'll find an Ultra Ball. In the southeast corner, you'll find Mewtwo. _____________________________ | Special Encounter: Mewtwo \ |______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Type : Psychic. | | Level: Level 70. | | Moves: - Psychic | | - Swift | | - Recover | | - Safeguard | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mewtwo is weak to Ghost and Bug types. It resists Fighting, and maybe | | Psychic. It lacks immunities. It can do super-effective damage to those | | of the Fighting and Poison types with Psychic. | | | | There are a few ways to go about this. The main way would be simply to | | lower Mewtwo's HP as much as possible, then bring about a non-damaging | | status, such as Paralysis or Sleep. Shoot out an Ultra Ball afterwards. | | That is all you CAN do. The only thing that could make it better would be | | using False Swipe, which is sadly not in this game. | | | | Of course, 'twas once a wise man who listened to another wise man's words | | and saved the Master Ball for this moment rather than relatively waste it | | on one of the legendary birds or, seemingly impossible, Magikarp. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Well, that does it for the walkthrough. You have effectively explored each and every normally-explorable area in the game. Obviously, if you're playing only this version of the game, you have a slight problem I can almost guarantee there is. Your Pokédex is not complete, nor will it ever be. You'll need trading between games to complete it, and that includes the super-lucky Mew trade. Or glitching. The glitches are interesting, and just below here, but beware ... some strange, screwed-up things occur. Well, all you can do now is build up a super-team, which is obsolete now... All mainstream tournaments now take place on Black/White and other DS games, as of 2012 -- you can't bring any Pokémon from the GameBoy/GameBoy Color games to them. So, you pretty much just get to complete the Pokédex. It's not the most glorious idea, but it is the only thing really left, unless you've got Gold, Silver, or Crystal. No tournaments there, but it's a nice way to complete that Pokédex. Thanks for reading! ___________________________________________________________________________ / \ / \ |==O==| Section Five: Glitches in the Games |==O==| |\___/___________________________________________________________________\___/ | | | CTRL+F Tag: **POKEMON_5** | |_____________________________| This section lists a fair amount of glitches in the games of Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, and even Yellow Versions (the last one for my convenience). The majority of them are simply copy-and-pasted from my Glitch Pokémon FAQ, found on several sites, including GameFAQs. Anyways, why do this? Well, firstly, the glitches in these games are perhaps some of the most intriguing glitches ever found. Secondly, you'll need some of them if you ever want a full Pokédex in this day and time. (Keep in mind that this FAQ was written in 2012, far beyond the time Nintendo stopped holding special Pokémon give-aways for these games.) Also note that some of these make references to glitch Pokémon, such as Missingno., 'M, and PC4SH. If you want further data on these Pokémon, I really suggest looking at my Glitch Pokémon FAQ at GameFAQs, for I will not paste everything here. Here is a quick list of the section contents: -- Cut Glitch -- Glitch City -- Glitch Trainers -- Mew Glitch -- Old Man Glitch -- ZZAZZ Glitch -- Man on Cinnabar Gym Roof -- Prevented Progress (Japanese Pocket Monsters Red/Green Versions only) -- Invisible PC -- Statue Fishing -- Quick Lv. 100 (Pokémon Yellow Version only) -- Stuck in Wall -- Dokokashira Door Glitch -- TMTRAINER Effect -- EXP. Underflow -- Ghost Marowak Glitch -- Ghost Glitch -- Cycling Road Glitch -- Cable Club Room Escape Glitches ---------- Cut Glitch ---------- Compatible with: - Glitch #1: Red, Blue, Yellow (and Gold, Silver, Crystal) - Glitch #2: Red, Blue, Yellow Glitch #1: This more severe glitch of the two allows the player to get stuck on top of a cuttable tree. This glitch is present in Generations I and II. In order to perform the glitch, the player must have the Gym Badge allowing the use of Cut (the Cascade Badge in Kanto; the Hive Badge in Johto), and HM01 (Cut) taught to a member of the party. If, upon cutting down the tree, the player saves the game while standing in the spot where the tree originally stood before being cut down, and turns off the power, he or she will find their avatar standing on top of a tree when the game is reloaded. In some cases, the player may find that he or she is permanently stuck on the tree. The only remedy for this is that the game be restarted. Glitch #2: This glitch is a minor glitch in Generation I involving a tree near the bottom of Route 14. If this particular tree is cut down and then the player walks five steps west from where the tree was (so that the spot where the tree used to be is at the edge of the screen) and then walks back their path will be blocked as if a tree was still there. Even though the tree is not visible, it can still be cut down normally using the move Cut. ----------- Glitch City ----------- Travel to the Safari Zone. Enter a Safari Game, save the game, turn it off, then turn it back on. Exit the Safari Zone. The attendant will ask if the player would like to join a Safari Game. Answer "no". Fly anywhere (for the easiest Glitch City to walk in, go to Route 20). After taking 500 steps, the Safari Zone's PA will ring, and the player will be teleported into the Safari Zone gatehouse. Leave the gatehouse through the south exit, and the player will be in Glitch City. To escape, use Fly or Teleport. This works when running out of steps in other locales, including even the trading rooms and Cable Club Colosseums. --------------- Glitch Trainers --------------- Glitch Trainers are a glitch Trainer class that can be battled while using the Missingno. glitch. They can also be found by doing the Mew glitch with Special stats ranging from 201-255 in the Red/Blue versions and 201-253 in the Yellow version. Depending on the player's name, during the Missingno. glitch a player can run into Black Belts, Gentlemen, Blue, and Professor Oak, among others. When battling a glitch Trainer, the music begins as normal wild Pokémon music. When a glitch Pokémon is used by the Trainer, its cry may be audio from other parts of the game, such as the background music of the final battle with the rival. Unlike other Trainers, the Glitch Trainer says nothing before or after the battle. Glitch Trainers have been known to use glitch Pokémon such as Glitchy Nidorino, Missingno., and Charizard 'M, and non-obtainable glitch Pokémon among others. Many of the Pokémon they use cannot be caught by the player using any known in-game trick and can only be caught using a cheating device. ---------- Mew Glitch ---------- Method #1: To acquire Mew at the earliest point possible in the game, the player must not have defeated the Swimmer in Cerulean Gym and the Junior Trainer (the one who says "I saw your feat from the grass" when the battle with him begins) on Route 24 (west of Nugget Bridge) in the grass. It is prudent to save before doing this. The player must defeat Nugget Bridge as usual without engaging a battle with the Junior Trainer. Before attempting this glitch, it is ideal to have several Poké Balls stocked up. Note that the player must have an Abra that can teleport, and therefore cannot be playing Yellow Version unless he or she has reached Route 5 or traded for one prior to attempting the glitch. The player first heals at the Cerulean City Pokémon Center, so they may Teleport there later. The player then needs to return to Route 24 and catch (or trade over) an Abra, or withdraw the Abra if it is in the PC, then return to Route 24 if not already there. The player then needs to stand above the Junior Trainer so that he is just offscreen. Then the player needs to move down until seen, and immediately press Start. The player then needs to use Teleport with Abra. If done correctly, the Trainer should get the indicative exclamation mark while the player teleports. At this point, the Start menu will not work until the player battles someone though it is imperative to not battle anything or anyone else or talk to anyone (including the Youngster with the level 17 Slowpoke on Route 25 if the player wishes to use the alternate method, see below). The player then needs to head east from the Pokémon Center into the Cerulean City Gym and battle the Swimmer. After defeating the Swimmer (the Start menu should be available upon defeating him), the player then must head to Nugget Bridge and after several steps the Start Menu appears. Upon closing of the menu, it should begin a battle with a Lv. 7 Mew. Note: This method, if executed correctly, will always result in a wild Mew regardless of the last seen Pokémon's Special stat. Method #1 (alternative): The player must follow the steps for Method #1 exactly until they Teleport from the Junior Trainer using Abra. Again, the Start menu will not work after teleporting. The player then needs to head north towards Route 25 and battle the Youngster. As in Method #1, it is imperative to not battle anything or anyone else or talk to anyone before then. The player must engage in battle by him seeing them (and must walk against the wall to be seen, not towards him or the game will freeze). After defeating the Youngster, the player then needs to walk towards Cerulean City. After a small amount of steps, the Start menu appears. Closing it should begin a battle against a Lv. 7 Mew. If used on other trainers other than the Youngster, it will often be a different Pokémon (depending on the trainer's Pokémon's Special stat); for instance, doing so with the Lass below the Youngster will result in finding a Lapras, which is normally only available at Silph Co. Method #2: For this method, the player needs to go to the Gambler in front of the Underground Tunnel entrance east of Saffron City, and stand above him so that he is just off screen. The player then needs to take one step down closer to him, but make sure that he does not see the player, and then immediately press Start. If the player is spotted, the glitch would fail. If it was successful, the menu will appear and the player will be able to Fly, Dig, or Teleport. The player needs to use Fly to reach Cerulean City. While flying, the exclamation point that usually appears above a Trainer's head when they wish to battle the player will appear. The player then needs to go to Route 24 and, just like in Method #1, defeat the Youngster that owns a Slowpoke (with him walking towards the player to start the battle, or the game will freeze). After defeating him, the player needs to Fly to Lavender Town and head west to Route 8. The Start menu will appear. Press B, and Mew will appear at Level 7. (Note: The player must battle the Slowpoke trainer on Route 24, but the player does not have to battle the Gambler in front of the Underground Path. Any trainer will do. One option is to battle one of the two bikers who are next to each other on Route 14, then battle the Slowpoke trainer, then return to Route 14. Because Route 14 is isolated, players should use Repel to prevent running into wild Pokémon in the grass and messing up the trick.) Method #3: This method is also known as the "extended Mew glitch" and the "Ditto glitch" due to the involvement of Ditto. For this method, the player first needs a Pokémon with a Special Stat of 21. It doesn't matter if the stat was naturally leveled or boosted with Calcium as long as it's not due to an in-battle special boosting skill. Once the player has this Pokémon, the player needs to find ANY trainer in the game that will engage in battle the moment the trainer is on-screen and the player is in the trainer's line of sight. The most common examples are the Gambler east of Saffron City and the Junior Trainer in the high grass west of Nugget Bridge. Often people have already fought these trainers, so other later-game trainers include a couple Bikers on Route 17 (Cycling Road) or the four trainers on the west side of Route 14 (three Bikers and one Bird Keeper). The player then needs to get the trainer off screen. Next, take a single step towards him, enough for him to start the battle, and immediately press Start before he spots the player and the exclamation point appears. Once the player has pressed start and the start menu appears, the trainer needs to Fly, Dig, or Teleport elsewhere. The location being traveled to must have a path via which the player can walk both to a place where there is wild Ditto (Route 15 east of Fuchsia City in Red and Blue and Pokémon Mansion in Yellow Version) and after to a place with a trainer to fight. This is because the Start button will no longer work until after a battle with a trainer (to be mentioned) because the game has been tricked into thinking it's in battle mode. Once the battle with the trainer the player picked was evaded successfully, the player then needs to battle ANY trainer in the game, as long as there is one space between the player and the trainer when the battle is initiated so that the trainer has to walk up to the player and the player doesn't approach the trainer directly. After defeating the trainer, the player needs to find a wild Ditto, and battle it until it uses Transform on the player's Pokémon with the Special Stat of 21. After defeating the Ditto (with any of the player's six Pokémon), the player needs to avoid running into any other wild Pokémon and/or battling any other trainers, and go back to the Route where the trainer the player first evaded is located (for the Gambler, east of Saffron City, for the Bikers, Route 14; etc.). Once the Route is approached, the start menu will automatically appear. The player needs to press the B Button. A battle will begin immediately and a Lv. 7 Mew will appear. This method can be used to catch any Pokémon in the game, even some glitch Pokémon. While a Pokémon with a Special stat of 21 will give one Mew, using a Pokémon with a different special stat will give the player a different Pokémon. For example, in the Red/Blue versions, if a Pokémon with a Special stat of 198 is used, a glitch called "LM4" will appear instead of Mew. There are, however, some glitch Pokémon such as 8 and PkMn n which cannot be caught using this method. Some Special stats will cause glitch Trainers to appear. They may be glitched versions of regular in-game trainers, such as Bruno with Blaine's party. -------------- Old Man Glitch -------------- Requirements: - A Pokémon that knows Fly (assuming the player has the badge to use it). - A Pokémon that knows Surf (assuming the player has the badge to use it). - At least one of the item to be cloned (for the purposes of this explanation, the article shall use a Rare Candy). - At least five other items in the bag. - Access to Cinnabar Island or Fuchsia City. Instructions: Talk to the old man located north of Viridian City. Allow him to demonstrate how to catch a Pokémon. Once he is finished, immediately use Fly to travel to either Cinnabar Island or Fuchsia City and then Surf to Seafoam Islands. Make sure that the Rare Candy is in the sixth slot of the bag. Surf up and down along the east coast of either island where the water is touching the land. Whether Missingno. can be encountered depends on the player's name; other Pokémon may appear instead. Continue Surfing along the coast until Missingno. appears (assuming that the player's entered name will cause a Missingno. encounter). Some names may not cause Missingno. to appear. If so, the player may find 'M, which works just as well. Defeat, run from, or catch Missingno. or 'M. After the battle, open the menu and view the items currently in the bag. If done correctly, the game should show "?8" or "?5" as the amount of Rare Candies in the bag (? being a glitch character). This can represent either 128 or 255, respectively. It seems to depend on whether Missingno./'M was caught or not. ------------ ZZAZZ Glitch ------------ The ZZAZZ glitch is a glitch found in the Generation I games. It is encountered by using the Mew glitch with a Special stat that has a decimal number of any multiple of 251, 252, 254 or 255. This makes the player encounter a glitch Trainer that in turn allows this glitch to occur. This trainer can be difficult to beat particularly due to the fact that the HP bar of the first Pokémon is abnormally high similar to the side-effects of using a Super Glitch move. The first of the opponents' Pokémon is usually Level 153 proving to be more difficult to beat than a normal Level 100 Pokémon but strangely the player can easily escape this trainer by using an item such as a Poké Ball or Poké Flute regardless of the fact in a normal battle this would normally have no effect. The glitch trainer usually has a Charizard 'M or a Q in his first slot; depending on whether the version is Pokémon Red and Blue or Pokémon Yellow. This trainer will usually block a thrown Poké Ball; however, the battle would suddenly end. A side effect of the ZZAZZ Glitch causes the player's name to become replaced with one that is much longer, replacing most previous letters in the player's name to be replaced by Z's. Another notable side-effect of this glitch is how it changes the Pokémon in the trainer's party to Level 153. Most sprites of Pokémon in the party are replaced with the back-sprite of Bulbasaur and outside of battle the trainer's sprite changes on the Trainer card. A possible explanation to why the back-sprites of all of the player's Pokémon in battle are changed to Bulbasaur is because the ZZAZZ Glitch overwrites several variables with the hex value 99. This explains why the party Pokémon are changed to Level 153 because a hexadecimal value of 99 is equal to the integer 153 in standard decimal. A hexadecimal value of 99 also corresponds to the letter "Z" and the move "Explosion", which suggests that the ZZAZZ Glitch has made a significant change to the data of the party Pokémon. Other less noticeable effects include changes to the interfaces in-game such as the menu, where if a player attempts to save the game the cursor scrolls over 'yes' and 'no' causing the game to crash. A white screen will appear if the player attempts to view their party Pokémon. Although the player's name will glitch, the OT values of the party Pokémon will stay the same. This 'tricks' the game into thinking that they are not the player's Pokémon. The combination of this, and the Pokémon's levels being at 153, causes them to disobey the Trainer (as not even the Earth Badge is programmed to make Pokémon over level 100 obey the player.) Any Trainer battle fought during the glitch will become a battle against a glitch Trainer with the player's sprite. He will either borrow the player's original name, their ZZAZZ-glitched name, or sometimes a different glitched name. His party will consist mainly of several Charizard 'M or Q, and this trainer could be considered "almost impossible" to defeat, because one of his Charizard 'Ms has an extremely large amount of HP that is possibly close to the largest maximum amount of a Pokémon when taking two bytes into account (65536). If the player saves after activating the ZZAZZ Glitch, their save file will be corrupted and they will be forced to start a new save file. ------------------------ Man on Cinnabar Gym Roof ------------------------ If one does not have the key to the Cinnabar Gym, and surfs on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the gym, a man will appear on the roof of the gym. A similar effect happens if the player walks into the Vermilion City Gym, walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gatehouse to Cycling Road. One of the trainers in the gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gatehouse there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prevented Progress (Japanese Pocket Monsters Red/Green Versions only) --------------------------------------------------------------------- If one evolves their starter Pokémon before they obtain their Pokédex from Prof. Oak, the game will assume that, since they have 2 Pokémon registered as caught, that they already have a Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed. This glitch is only present in the Japanese Red and Green Versions. ------------ Invisible PC ------------ There is a hotel in Celadon City that resembles a Pokémon Center on the inside. In the top-right space of the area that the player can walk on, there is an invisible, usable PC. -------------- Statue Fishing -------------- The player can use a Fishing Rod when facing the right or left of a gym statue. It will always say "Looks like there's nothing in here...", except in Misty's gym, where all the Pokémon obtainable in the gym can be caught. ------------------------------------------- Quick Lv. 100 (Pokémon Yellow Version only) ------------------------------------------- This glitch is similar to the Mew glitch, but can be done in the Viridian Forest. First the player must go to the second to last trainer and be out of his view (and must also not be able to see him). Walk one space and come into his view. Press Start and use an Escape Rope to go to the Pewter City Pokémon Center. A, B, Start, and Select will not work. Now go try to go out of Pewter City towards Mt. Moon. The guy will stop the player and show him or her to Brock's Gym. Now the player must go to the small patch of grass south of Pewter City and north of Viridian Forest. Encounter a Pokémon and use Growl on it 6 times. (Try again and Growl less if the player gets a Level 0 Pokémon at the end, instead of 1.) Now walk into the forest (the message 'Do you have a Pikachu?' will appear). The player will immediately go into a Pokémon battle with a Level 1 Pokémon. When the player weakens the Pokémon, he/she must catch it. If the player uses it in a Pokémon Battle and it levels up it should skip straight to Level 100 (as long as that Pokémon is one of any fully-evolved Pokémon or Mew, as the algorithm for the experience to the next level for those Pokémon is glitched and takes the experience to level 2 as a rather large negative number (which displays as a large positive number.) Note: The player can obtain different level 1 Pokémon by facing different Pokémon to the patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest. ------------- Stuck in Wall ------------- If the player lures an NPC into the grass above Pallet Town, she will block the player from following Professor Oak correctly, causing the player to become stuck in the wall of Oak's laboratory. ----------------------- Dokokashira Door Glitch ----------------------- The Dokokashira door glitch takes advantage of the fact that in Pokémon Red and Green, the player is able to switch the slots of items as well as Pokémon. However, an oversight of this feature was that if the player were to press the Select button on the items screen and then attempt to switch one of his or her Pokémon, he or she would arguably be switching a Pokémon with an item. When the player attempts to switch an item with a Pokémon, this is essentially like switching information about other data in the game, such as what kinds of items the player has, or the map location of the player. The game will take an item to be the information about one of the "Pokémon" past the sixth slot (or data after the amount of Pokémon that the player currently has in the party). When the player switches Oak's Parcel as the second item in his or her Bag with his or her first Pokémon, this will "shuffle" several bytes within the game. Some of these effects are undesirable, such as slight graphical errors on the main map interface; however, one of the more useful effects will ensure that the warp location of the next door the player walks through is relevant to the amount of extra steps he or she takes. STEPS: Firstly, the player should start a New Game. The player should withdraw a Potion from the PC, so that he or she has one item. Walk out of the door and proceed into the tall grass, wait until Professor Oak takes you into his lab. Choose any starter Pokémon. After Blue chooses his Pokémon, attempt to leave Professor Oak's lab. Either defeat or lose to Blue and then proceed out of the lab and through the grass on the way to Pewter City. Proceed to the Poké Mart and receive Oak's Parcel. The player should proceed back to Pallet Town but ensure that he or she enters a wild Pokémon battle on the way. Move to the Items option and use the Select button on Oak's Parcel. Select 'Cancel' and then select 'PKMN'. The cursor should still be white, choose your starter Pokémon to switch it with Oak's Parcel. Check the starter's moves on the 'Fight' screen, to check that the game has not altered any undesirable bytes. If the starter's moves have not been changed run from the Pokémon battle and then walk exactly 73 steps, landing the last step in Blue's house in Pallet Town. The player should be near the house where HM02 (Fly) is normally obtainable, walk another five steps to the right and then move down so that it looks like the player is attempting to move through the house's ceiling, it is the spot one step north of its right hand corner. The player should appear in the northern section of the Cycling Road House, walk nine steps and aim the last step to be through the exit to the north-east corner. Walk an extra 45 steps eastwards and aim the last step to be through the double doors of Celadon Department Store (the door to the right). The player should now be in a glitched version of the Hall of Fame room and he or she will be able to see the credits. ---------------- TMTRAINER Effect ---------------- The TMTRAINER effect is the common name for a series of glitchy effects associated with the move -- and most Super Glitch moves occupying Hexadecimal Identifiers between AC to C3 (or those with index numbers between 172 and 195.) Effects in battle: Most commonly, side effects associated with the use of these glitch moves will only occur in battle. There are many strings of dialogue that can occur, but the most common will result in the enemy Pokémon acquiring a large amount of HP and becoming Frozen, but it will simultaneously become Burned. On the same turn the opponent's name would be changed so that it contains the string "TMTRAINER" as well as some glitch dialogue. Since the game will often give the opponent a larger amount of HP than its maximum, the opponent Pokémon may faint due to the large amount of damage from its burn. The common TMTRAINER effect usually follows this pattern: - The opponent will acquire the Burn status. - The music will fade; however it is notable that sometimes certain sound effects will play. - Presuming that all in-battle processes were previously running as they should have been; when an move or item is used, the following text will be displyed: "Enemy [glitch dialogue, which often takes up a large amount of space] TMTRAINER (Species) is Frozen solid!" - Then similarly, the text will be displayed: "Enemy [glitch dialogue occupying a large amount of space] TMTRAINER (Species) is hurt by the burn!" - The enemy Pokémon's health bar will wrap across the screen several times, and slowly deplete until eventually when after several minutes the enemy Pokémon may faint. - If the player was battling a trainer, the opponent will send out the Pokémon that was in battle before the glitch activated. Upon the battle finishing, the game will freeze. Also, if a wild Pokémon was being battled, the game will freeze as soon as the battle ends. Explanation: The TMTRAINER effect starts when certain glitch moves are used which correspond to information about irrelevant data within the game. The most typical example is the move --, which corresponds with data concerning how the Cancel button functions; it usually has no effect, but when the player changes the PP of the move it will also change the effect of the glitch move and other irrelevant information regarding how the battle interface should function for example, or information outside of battle which could cause the game to freeze. The glitch moves with index numbers between 172 and 195 appear to correspond with information about the same set of variables which correspond with information about the opponent's name, status and other factors, so if the player reduces the amount of PP of that move by one essentially this data will be "shuffled" slightly. -------------- EXP. Underflow -------------- If the player uses a Level 1 Pokémon in a Pokémon battle and it levels up it should skip straight to Level 100, as long as that Pokémon is one of any fully-evolved Pokémon or Mew, as the algorithm for the experience to the next level for those Pokémon is glitched and takes the experience to Level 2 as a large negative number (which displays as a large positive number). -------------------- Ghost Marowak Glitch -------------------- Using a Poké Doll on the ghost Marowak in Pokémon Tower with or without the Silph Scope will cause it to permanently disappear. ------------ Ghost Glitch ------------ When encountering a ghost in Pokémon Tower without having a Silph Scope, it is possible to see its true identity by viewing the stats of any Pokémon in the player's party. However, this glitch is only graphical, and it is still impossible to fight or catch it. ------------------- Cycling Road Glitch ------------------- If the player does not have a Bicycle (or has it deposited in the PC), it is still possible to reach Cycling Road by holding down the left button while the guard attempts to prevent the player from entering the Cycling Road. Upon entering Cycling Road, the player will be automatically riding a bike, despite not having one. ------------------------------- Cable Club Room Escape Glitches ------------------------------- Requirements: - Access to the Cable Club via another person with R/B/Y - A Poisoned Pokémon (method #1) - Access to the Safari Zone (method #2) - Access to Dig (method #2) Method #1 (Red/Blue only): First, the player needs to Poison their Pokémon and be linked with another person. Preferably, the player then enters the trade center and initiates a trade with the other person or battle with the other player to copy the roster into the game's memory for later use in the glitch. The player then presses Cancel, or ends the battle and walks around until the Poison causes the Pokémon to faint. After the Pokémon faints, the player will black out as normal, though the game still assumes the player to be linked. Method #2 (all versions): The player must enter a Safari Game, then immediately after entering, attempt to leave. The attendant will ask if the player wants to leave early to which the player must answer "no". The player must then re-enter the Safari Zone. The game should then be saved and reset. The player must now attempt to exit the Safari Zone. The attendant will ask if the player would like to join a Safari Game, to which the player must answer "no". The player should then Fly anywhere. The player must then enter the Cable Club, and walk around until their Safari Zone steps run out and they are returned to the gate, activating the glitch. To prevent a Trade Center or Colosseum Glitch City, the player can reenter the Safari Zone and Dig away. In Pokémon Red and Blue, Poison can also be used to escape a Trade Center or Colosseum Glitch City, although this is redundant over the poison method. Resultant Effects: After exploiting the glitch, the player is unable to save under normal circumstances because the save button is replaced by the reset button. The player is also unable to open the item pack, because normally items cannot be used when in link with another player. Provided that these settings are kept, if the player proceeds to encounter any Trainer outside of the Cable Club their roster will be replaced with the one last stored by the game when trading or battling with the player, and their picture will be replaced with Red's. Since the game is no longer receiving data from the other player, the name of the player simply becomes a blank space. The behavior of the other player is automatically controlled by the game and depends on the Trainer class; for example, encountering Bruno will make a Trainer appear with the other player's Pokémon, but a tendency to use X Defend. If the player did not trade or battle with the player, then a glitch Trainer with a glitchy name will appear instead with a team of glitch Pokémon; however, it is still technically the same Trainer class of the original Trainer, despite it having Red's picture. This is because a RAM address in the data structure is left checked to make all Trainer's have Red's picture and use the other player's Pokémon. Unlike the "death Trainer" found after the ZZAZZ glitch, a Trainer with Red's picture cannot be found by encountering a wild Pokémon and will only be found when trying to encounter an existing Trainer. Remaining HP, moves and status effects are also taken into account, meaning the other player could for instance replace Bruno's team with a Poisoned Level 5 Magikarp with 1 HP. If all of the player's Pokémon were fainted, a Charizard 'M or Q will be sent out instead. Exclusively to Pokémon Yellow, the glitch also restricts Poison in the overworld, because the Poison method exclusive to Pokémon Red and Blue was fixed by restricting Pokémon outside of battle from losing HP due to Poison when linked. To restore the settings back to normal and be able to save, the player can simply reset the game, though any changes since entering the Cable Club are not saved. To be able to save the game, the player can simply change boxes. Alternatively, the player can enter the Cable Club again to be taken out due to inactivity, which restores the save button and allows the player to open the item pack again. Another method of restoring the options is to view the summary screen of any Pokémon in battle; this will allow the player to use their items again. This glitch is useful for mass duplication of items, as although changes to the item pack in the Cable Club are prohibited, items will be changed outside of the Cable Club even with the reset button. For example, a player could use a party of six Missingno., view the summary of a Pokémon in battle to restore the item pack to have one of their items duplicated, and then continuously swap the sixth item to duplicate many items in one battle. This glitch is also useful for encountering item-mutating glitch Pokémon which are otherwise difficult or otherwise impossible to see on the opponent's side outside of the Cable Club.
