Thanks & Credits ========================== 02. The Author & Rationale ========================== I'm AstralFire. yep. All you need to know, really. I frequent the Pokemon Fire Red, Comics and Graphical Novels, Anime & Manga, Cartoons & Animation, and Pencil and Paper RPGs, among others on GameFAQs. I'm no Donald, but I'm not exactly bad at this stuff myself, so I decided to write another guide for my favorite game series: Pokemon! =================== 03.

Version History =================== v.30 (02/03/04) - I got this version up on schedule. Yay for snow. Added: FAQ Section Removed: Introduction (Converted to FAQ) Added: Rap Sheets for Pikachu, Abra Added: Guide up to Lt. SURGE. Fixed: Typos Added: More items v.20 (01/31/04) - I didn't get nearly as much done this version as I'd have liked. Stupid homework/family. x_x; Got to Cerulean City, but not much past Cerulean... Apologies... Corrected errors on the version exclusives. Identified the strange item in Mt. Moon and added a pretty massive item list. v.10 (01/27/04) - This is the very first version of a guide to a game thus far in Japanese. ============================== 05. Frequently Asked Questions ============================== Q: WHAT IS THIS GAME? A: It's a remake of the original Pokemon games, Red and Green versions. It's primarily a graphical facelift, but a lot of things near the end of the game (where things started to get a little boring) have been changed; mini-games have been added, a large new area has been put in, some GSC/RuSa pokemon are obtainable, the game is compatible with all moves and Pokemon up to Series 3, and a few changes have been placed in... It's part of Nintendo's apology to us for making Ruby and Sapphire incompatible with Series 1 and 2. And before you ask - our Red and Blue was basically equivalent to their Red and Green. They decided Blue was a better color than Green for everyone else, a decision I agree with, even if it's arbitrary. ^_~ Q: WHAT DO I DO HERE? YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THIS FAR YET! A: If you have a question about this game and it's further ahead in the game than this and other guides, I advise either asking at the Fire Red board or checking the original Pokemon Red and Blue versions FAQ for the time being. The game is primarily just a face lift of the older ones until late-game. Q: WHAT ARE THE VERSION EXCLUSIVES? A: Like the originals, there are some slight differences between Fire and Leaf, primarily in their obtainable pokemon selection. Here's the breakdown of the version exclusives: ________ __________ |FIRE RED| |LEAF GREEN| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Ekans Sandshrew Arbok Sandslash Oddish Bellsprout Gloom Weepinbell Vileplume Victreebel Growlithe Vulpix Arcanine Ninetales Electabuzz Magmar Elekid Magby Pinsir Scyther Scizor Psyduck Slowpoke Golduck Slowbro Slowking Shellder Staryu Cloyster Starmie Azurill Wooper Marill Quagsire Azumarill Murkrow Misdreavus Skarmory Sneasel Qwilfish Remoraid Octillery Delibird Mantine As a rule of thumb (but not an absolute) the pokemon on one side appear in the same places and same rate in their version as the pokemon directly opposite them. The major violation to this rule (and possibly the only one, I'm not sure) is Electabuzz/Magmar. As you can see, the breakdown is expanded from that in the original, and LG has access to more pokemon. Q: WHICH VERSION SHOULD I GET? A: It's up to you, but I'd get Leaf Green; not only does it have more pokemon access, it has more battle-worthy pokemon. Arbok <<< Sandslash Vileplume >>> Victreebel Arcanine >>> Ninetales Electabuzz >>> Magmar Pinsir <<< Scizor Golduck <<< Slowbro/king Cloyster <<< Starmie Quagsire >>> Azumarill Murkrow <<< Misdreavus Skarmory >>> Sneasel Qwilfish <<< Octillery Delibird <<< Mantine From the Fire Red side, I can only say I'd miss Bellossom and Arcanine, and Bellossom is available in RuSa! Q: WHICH STARTER SHOULD I GET? A: Check the walkthrough near the beginning. Q: WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE POKEMON IN THIS GAME? A: This'll be long... Short answer: The original 150 + some pokemon from GSC and RS (Scroll down to see them.) You won't be able to get any newer generation pokemon until you beat the Elite Four, though. Pokemon that have been programmed to be catchable but only available in a normally unreachable area are marked with an asterisk (*): SERIES 1 (1-151): Bulbasaur Ivysaur Venusaur Charmander Charmeleon Charizard Squirtle Wartortle Blastoise Caterpie Metapod Butterfree Weedle Kakuna Beedrill Pidgey Pidgeotto Pidgeot Rattata Raticate Spearow Fearow Ekans Arbok Pikachu Raichu Sandshrew Sandslash Nidoran(F) Nidorina Nidoqueen Nidoran(M) Nidorino Nidoking Clefairy Clefable Vulpix Ninetales Jigglypuff Wigglytuff Zubat Golbat Oddish Gloom Vileplume Paras Parasect Venonat Venomoth Diglett Dugtrio Meowth Persian Psyduck Golduck Mankey Primeape Growlithe Arcanine Poliwag Poliwhirl Poliwrath Abra Kadabra Alakazam Machop Machoke Machamp Bellsprout Weepinbell Victreebel Tentacool Tentacruel Geodude Graveler Golem Ponyta Rapidash Slowpoke Slowbro Magnemite Magneton Farfetch'd Doduo Dodrio Seel Dewgong Grimer Muk Shellder Cloyster Gastly Haunter Gengar Onix Drowzee Hypno Krabby Kingler Voltorb Electrode Exeggcute Exeggutor Cubone Marowak Hitmonlee Hitmonchan Lickitung Koffing Weezing Rhyhorn Rhydon Chansey Tangela Kangaskahn Horsea Seadra Goldeen Seaking Staryu Starmie Mr. Mime Scyther Jynx Electabuzz Magmar Pinsir Tauros Magikarp Gyarados Lapras Ditto Eevee Vaporeon Jolteon Flareon Porygon Omanyte Omastar Kabuto Kabutops Aerodactyl Snorlax Articuno Zapdos Moltres Dratini Dragonair Dragonite Mewtwo SERIES 2 (152-251): Sentret Furret Ledyba Ledian Spinarak Ariados Crobat Pichu Cleffa Igglybuff Togepi Togetic Natu Xatu Bellossom Marill Azumarill Politoed Hoppip Skiploom Jumpluff Yanma Wooper Quagsire Murkrow Slowking Misdreavus Unown Wobbuffet Dunsparce Steelix Qwilfish Scizor Heracross Sneasel Slugma Magcargo Swinub Piloswine Remoraid Octillery Delibird Mantine Skarmory Kingdra Phanpy Donphan Porygon2 Tyrogue Hitmontop Smoochum Elekid Magby Blissey Raikou Entei Suicune Larvitar Pupitar Tyranitar Lugia* Ho-oh* SERIES 3 (252-386): Azurill Wynaut Deoxys* Q: CAN YOU TRADE TO THIS GAME FROM ? A: No. The trading systems are very much incompatible between the older versions and this version. Only Ruby and Sapphire may trade with Fire and Leaf. Q: IS THIS GAME COMPATIBLE WITH POKEMON BOX/POKEMON COLOSSEUM? A: We assume so for Box; It is confirmed to work with Colosseum. Q: CAN THIS GAME TRADE WITH THE JAPANESE/INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS? A: My sources say yes. Q: DOES ______ GLITCH/CHEAT/TRICK WORK FROM THE ORIGINAL? A: Currently, none of the previous glitches/exploits in any version of pokemon are known to work in FiLe. Q: CAN I PLAY AS A GIRL? A: Yes, BLUE (possibly renamed GREEN in the US) is playable. Q: THEIR NAMES ARE RED AND BLUE! NOT ASH AND GARY! A: Yes; you're right. Ash and Gary do not exist in the games, only RED, BLUE, GREEN, and YELLOW. However, I think these are horribly stupid names and you *are* allowed to rename the hero(ine) and rival, so I did. For all of you nitpickers though, you're right, Ash and Gary are not the correct names. Q: WHERE DO I GET THE ROM? A: The tooth fairy. >>; Don't ask me, really. Q: WHEN DOES THIS GAME COME OUT IN THE STATES? A: It hasn't been announced yet. *thwack* Q: HEY! WHERE'D MY TM/HM/BERRY GO? A: To the appropriate container in your KEY ITEMS section. Q: ARE DRUGS BAD? A: Yes, very. ============ 06. Controls ============ This is your brain. ^_^ This is your brain on drugs. x_x Public service announcement over. Okay, so this is your GBA SP, right? ______________ |Button Pushing| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _______ _______ / L | | R \ |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _ | | | | /¯¯¯\ | | | | | A | | | |¯¯ O ¯¯| /¯¯¯\ \___/ | | ¯¯| |¯¯ | B | | | | | \___/ | | ¯ | | | | | | SELECT START | | | | /¯\ /¯\ | | \_/ \_/ | | | | | | | |____________________________________________| D-Pad - In Battle or Menu: Highlight option. Outside of Battle: Control movement. On the field, if you run into a sign, you'll automatically read it. L & R - Primarily useless for this game. They appear to start up an odd "tutorial" function, which is not going to be much help as the game is currently in Japanese and most of us are anglophones. =p A - Confirm. Think of 'A' as the 'Enter' or 'OK' button on a computer or DVD remote. Outside of battle, use it to select a highlighted choice, engage in conversation with someone directly in front of you, activate an item in front of your character, read signs, scroll through text, and make someone finish their sentence faster. In battle, use it to select a highlighted choice or scroll through text. B - Deny. Pressing 'B' is much like the 'Cancel' button - in battle and on the Pause Menu, it will take you back out of Sub-Menus without recording anything you did in those menus. Outside of battle, it doesn't really do diddly squat until you beat Brock - you'll get the running shoes, which will double your foot speed when you press B. They're only usable in appropriate areas, though... like you can run through grass, but don't try to run through the ocean or in a museum. ^_~ During level-up evolution, press the B to halt the evolution. Select - Hotkey. You can assign one of your 'Key Items' to this button to use it at the press of a button. Very useful. Pressing it on the Item Sub-Menu allows you to move items around within a pocket. Press it to select one item you wish to move, and then press it again on the item you want it to switch places with. Start - Outside of Battle, brings up the Pause Menu. Does nothing else. ================= 07. Menu, Please? ================= Pokemon is a highly menu-driven game, and for those new to the series, this can be somewhat daunting (particularly if you're playing in Japanese!) But don't worry - we're here to help. ______________ |The Pause Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When you first start the game, the Pause Menu has four options on it. After getting your starting pokemon, you gain the Pokemon menu. Once you deliver OAK'S PACKAGE, you'll get the Pokedex Menu. From top to bottom: - PokeDex: A handy field guide to Pokemon. - Pokemon: View your team's battle-readiness. - Bag: Check to see what gear you've got. - : Study your progress through the Pokemon League on your Trainer Card. - Save: Save the game - Options: Change game settings - Cancel: Exit the Pause Menu ________________ |The PokeDex Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This is an extremely nifty field guide to the Pokemon you come across, and is easily the most user-friendly of the Pokedexes in the games. It has many options... - Numerical Dex Mode: Look at your pokemon as they are numbered and classified in Kanto. - Plains Dex Mode: See all the pokemon you've met that live in low grass such as those found on routes. - Forest Dex Mode: Shows the pokemon you've met that are most at home in the high branches of deciduous forest trees. - Freshwater Dex Mode: Look at the pokemon you've met that habitate ponds and rivers. - Saltwater Dex Mode: Examine the pokemon you've met that live in saltwater rivers, seas, and oceans. - Cave Dex Mode: See all the pokemon you've met that live in damp, dark caves. - Mountain Dex Mode: Shows the pokemon you've met that are most at home in the high reaches of the mountains. - Safari Dex Mode: Look at the pokemon you've met that live in warmer, longer grass like that in the Safari Zone. - City Dex Mode: Examine the pokemon you've met that enjoy living in the company of humans. - Misc. Dex Mode: Look at the pokemon you've met that live in an unknown habitat and you only encountered through a gift, breeding, or another trainer. - Alphabetical Dex Mode: Look at pokemon entries as they are arranged alphabetically. - Elemental Dex Mode: Look at the pokemon you've actually caught by their element(s). - No idea; wait for English or for me to get a flash of inspiration. - No idea; wait for English or for me to get a flash of inspiration. - Cancel No matter which of the Dex Modes you choose, you can use the D-Pad to scroll through the pokemon entries under that category, press B to go back, or press A to look at the data you have for that entry. Press Start when looking at an entry to hear its cry. ____________________ |The Pokemon Sub-Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Move your D-Pad in order to see a highlighted pokemon. The one on the left is the 'active' pokemon, and will come out first when you engage in battle. The one at the top is your 'secondary', and will automatically come out along with your active pokemon when you engage in a 2 on 2 Pokemon battle. Press B to exit this menu or A on any of your highlighted pokemon in order to bring up another set of options. The top choice is 'Summary,' which gives general information about the pokemon. The second choice, 'Switch', allows you to swap pokemon positions around, but will not appear unless you have at least 2 Pokemon with you. The third choice, 'Item', lets you give or take away an item from the Pokemon's possession. The fourth choice, 'Cancel', does exactly that. You may gain other options later on as your pokemon learn field-usable techniques; these will only appear on the pokemon that has the technique, and they will appear between the Summary option and the Switch option, appearing in a blue color text. You may select this menu in battle, but Switch and Summary will have their places reversed, and 'Switch' will not swap pokemon positions in your belt, just who is currently in battle or benched. Also, 'Item' and the field-usable techniques will not be an option. Pokemon switching and Item use occurs before any techniques are used in a battle round. ________________ |The Bag Sub-Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Items will be very important to you during the single player aspect of this game, so be sure you know how to use these things! Press A to use an item, B to leave the Bag Menu, left or right on the D-Pad to switch which pocket you're using, and up or down to scroll through a list of items in that pocket. In Fire Red/Leaf Green, the Bag Menu is split into Disposable Items, Key Items, and Pokemon Catching Items from left to right.. In a fight, Disposable Items (and one or two Key Items, such as the PokeFlute) are all you can use. Pokemon switching and Item use occurs before any techniques are used in a battle round. Key Items can be set to the Select Hotkey by pressing A when the cursor is over them, and choosing the second option. ____________________ |The Options Sub-Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ From top to bottom: Text Speed: Press Left or Right to affect how fast people say things and text comes up. There are three speeds, and fastest is recommended since the text won't disappear until you hit 'A' anyway. Battle Scene: Press Left or Right to determine whether or not you'll see attack graphics in battle. I recommend you leave it to 'On'; Single-Player Mode Battles will get really boring otherwise. Battle Style: Shift or Set. Shift means that you'll have the option of switching pokemon every time your opponent switches out, even from fainting, while Set plays by Multiplayer rules; switching always takes a turn. Shift is much easier. Sound: Mono or Stereo. Whichever, it doesn't matter unless you have a GB Player or headphones. Button Mode: I'm not entirely sure here. One of the three options puts L & R on the annoying "Tutorial" mode, while the other two seem to make L & R into A button equivalents, like in RuSa... but there could be more to it than that. Frame: Chooses the skin for all menu/textboxes in the game. _______________ |The Battle Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The most important menu of the game. The Battle Menu appears whenever you're in a (surprise!) battle. The options are: Fight Bag Pokemon Run Fight allows you to select which of your pokemon's four (or less) moves it will use for this next turn, Bag brings up the Bag Sub-Menu, Pokemon brings up the Pokemon Sub-Menu, and Run allows you to escape the battle with no experience point or money gain. Run can only be used in battles against wild pokemon, and Bag may not be used during a multiplayer battle. _________________ |The TOWN MAP Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Not much of a menu, really. But when you're viewing the TOWN MAP, you can press A when the cursor is over any dungeon you've been in, in order to view information on the area. It's considerably more useful than RuSa's map which told you about the towns, in my opinion. Press A over the yellow box in the bottom right of the map or press B to go back. ___________ |The PC Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This is the menu viewable from any Pokemon Center PC. - BILL's PC - Pokemon Storage System - Your PC - Item Storage System - Prof. OAK's PC - OAK rates your Pokedex Progress. At the beginning of the game, BILL's PC is called Someone's PC, and Prof. OAK's PC is not a choice. After you meet BILL, the name on Someone's PC changes, and after you get your Pokedex, OAK's PC shows up. __________________ |BILL's PC Sub-Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Withdraw Pokemon - Deposit Pokemon - Move Pokemon - No Idea - Cancel __________________ |Your PC's Sub-Menu| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Withdraw Item - Deposit Item - Cancel ========== 08. Fight! ========== Pokemon has often been called a big game of paper-rock-scissors. That's sort of correct. There's a lot of depth to the game in multiplayer that's really missing in one player mode. Think of the one-player as a really fun tutorial for the *real* game. ^_~ I won't go into all of the nuances of the Multiplayer, but I can handle the Single-player... Fights in single-player consist of random pokemon encounters, and Trainer Fights. You can't run from Trainer Fights, so if you're not in the mood for one, try your damn hardest not to let the trainer see you! Only a few trainers - primarily Gym Leaders - will not automatically engage in combat with you upon sight. I'll be breaking it down into Types, Stats, Conditions, Moves, Traits, and Mood. _____ |Types| ¯¯¯¯¯ Pokemon and Pokemon attacks are categorized by elemental types; a pokemon may have one or two types, but an attack always has one. These types help determine attack power, effectiveness, and defensive strength. A pokemon using an attack that has a type which matches one of its own gets a 50% boost to damage! This will very often (but not always) be a big consideration in what moves to teach your pokemon. Why not always? There are a couple of reasons. For one thing, pokemon attacks run off of one of two stats, usually: Attack and Special Attack. All but a few offensive techniques use one or the other to determine their strength. Which of these stats is used is determined solely by the element the attack is. Some pokemon have really good pair-ups between their offensive stats and their elements; Heracross, a Bug/Fighting type, has a very high attack power and a kind of blah special attack. Bug and Fighting both run off of the attack stat, so he's a nice little juggernaut. Sneasel on the other hand, a Dark/Ice type, has a very low special attack and only a moderate attack stat. Both Dark and Ice run off of the Special Attack stat, but because Sneasel is so weak in that area, he'll generally be better off with attacks of other types. For another, you won't always be using direct damage techniques; Toxic is an infamous move that has won many battles, but it does no damage of its own; it simply causes a very powerful venom-poison status. The types a pokemon has is more important than simply an indicator of what stats it gets a "power boost" with, however; they also determine their additional resistances. The Elemental Effectiveness chart lists the damage multipliers for using certain types on certain enemies. If an enemy has two types, multiply the damage multipliers for both types together. If a damage multiplier is zero, a pokemon cannot be affected by any offensive techniques of that type. Certain types are immune to their own effects; for example, Poison-types cannot be poisoned by Poison type attacks, Fire-types can't be burned, and Bug-types are immune to SPORE. This is not always true, however; Electric types can be paralyzed by THUNDERWAVE, for example.

These will be *very* important to you as you progress through the game. HP: The most obvious measure of your pokemon's well-being. When these get to 0, your pokemon faints and cannot be used for battle. If you have no pokemon remaining for battle, you lose; in the singleplayer, this means you faint and arrive at the last Pokemon Center you are in with only half your money (!!!) Obviously, you want these to stay up. This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the HP UP item. POTIONs, SUPER POTIONs, HYPER POTIONs, MAX POTIONs, and FULL RESTOREs are the most common way of recovering temporary hit point loss, as well as Pokemon Centers. Attack: This stat affects the power of the vast majority of Bug, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Normal, Poison, Rock, and Steel offensive attacks. Keep this stat down unless your pokemon is going to use attacks of those types; it also increases how much damage you do to yourself while confused! This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the PROTEIN item. Defense: This stat affects your physical toughness and lowers damage taken from the vast majority of Bug, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Normal, Poison, Rock, and Steel offensive attacks. Speedy, powerful pokemon may rely on this less due to the "best defense is a good offense" principal. This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the IRON item. Speed: This stat determines how agile you are, and therefore your order of attack. The pokemon with the highest speed goes first, second highest goes second, and so forth. Defensive pokemon tend to be poor on speed. This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the CARBOS item. Special Attack: This stat affects the power of the vast majority of Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fire, Grass, Ice, Psychic, and Water offensive attacks. Special Attacks tend to a bit more devastating than Physical Attacks, but are also much more prone to being resisted by a type advantage. This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the CALCIUM item. Defense: This stat affects your energy resistance and lowers damage taken from the vast majority of Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fire, Grass, Ice, Psychic, and Water offensive attacks. Speedy, powerful pokemon may rely on this less due to the "best defense is a good offense" principal. This stat's maximum value can be raised without increasing your experience level by using the ZINC item. __________ |Conditions| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ |Named Conditions| These six conditions will appear in all caps abbreviations instead of a pokemon's level on the battle screen, and will last until healed by an item/pokemon center or the pokemon faints. Usually, only Faint can replace another condition; other than that, a pokemon afflicted with one of these cannot gain another. A Poisoned Pokemon can't be Frozen, for example. The technique REST replaces PSN, BRN, or PAR with SLP, however. Poison (PSN): Your pokemon is poisoned, and will take damage every round it is active in battle, or every 5 steps you take outside of battle. There is a second type of venomous poison that doubles the damage taken from it every consecutive round it is in effect; it does not have this effect outside of battle, and both types are healed with an ANTIDOTE, FULL HEAL, or FULL RESTORE. Freeze (FRZ): Your pokemon is frozen and encased in ice, effectively immobilizing them until they thaw. Thawing occurs randomly or when the pokemon is hit with a fire attack in battle. Pokemon can be cured of the condition with an ICE HEAL, FULL HEAL, or FULL RESTORE. Burn (BRN): Your pokemon is suffering from severe burns, injuring them and weakening them. They take normal poison damage every turn and have effectively half their attack power until healed, but do not suffer damage while you walk. A BURN HEAL, FULL HEAL, or FULL RESTORE frees them of this condition. Paralysis (PAR): Your pokemon has been temporarily paralyzed, robbing them of their mobility. There is a 25% chance they will be unable to attack at any given time, and their speed effectively drops to 1/4. PARALYZ HEAL, FULL HEAL, and FULL RESTORE cures them of Paralysis. Sleep (SLP): Your pokemon's a lazy bum- er... Your pokemon went to sleep in the middle of the battle for some reason or another. Though you should be able to toss a rock at them in order to make them wake up, you can't. Much like Freeze, they are immobilized until they randomly wake up or are cured. Recovery items are AWAKENING, FULL HEAL, FULL RESTORE, and POKEFLUTE. Faint (FNT): Your pokemon's been knocked unconscious and is incapable of battle. HP recovery items will have no effect on it. Only REVIVE and MAX REVIVE can cure this condition, or a Pokemon Center. |Unnamed Conditions| These conditions are, for the most part, much nastier than the named conditions, and you can get as many of these as once as you can think of. The upside is that they disappear as soon as the pokemon is switched out or the battle ends... Only one of these - Confusion - can be healed any other way, however. (Confusion may be healed by a Full Heal.) Another note: All traits that activate on named status conditions also activate on confusion. Confusion: Your pokemon is a freaking idiot and has a 50% chance of crashing into walls instead of attacking, for some reason. -.o Lovely. If you fail to attack while confused, you injure yourself. Confusion is a very effective way of making opponents hate their lives. Attraction: Your pokemon belongs on the Man Show, not on a game. They fall in love with their opponent and have a 50% chance of failing to attack because they're head over heels. And no, sorry - attraction only works between opposite gender pokemon (which is another advantage of genderless pokemon.) Seeded: Your pokemon has been trapped by vampiric weeds which suck the life out of them. They lose 1/16 of their HP every turn, which gets absorbed by the opponent. Flinch: This is only a one-turn condition. A flinching pokemon fails to attack that turn. Flinch is always a secondary effect of another attack, and will *not* occur if the pokemon using the Flinch effect is slower than their opponent. Trapped in Battle: A pokemon that has had MEAN LOOK or SPIDER WEB used on it (or has used INGRAIN on itself) cannot flee or be switched out until the pokemon that used the technique faints. This is bypassed by BATON PASS, ROAR, and WHIRLWIND, however. Imprisoned: A pokemon with this condition cannot use any moves it knows that the user knows. Taunted: A pokemon with this condition gets PO'ed and won't use any attacks that do not deal direct damage. Tormented: A pokemon with this condition is incapable of using the same move twice in a row... it's not fun. Disabled: Your pokemon is partially disabled, incapable of using the last move it utilized for 2 to 5 turns. _____ |Moves| ¯¯¯¯¯ There are several classifications of moves: Direct Damage, Evasive, Status Afflicting, Secondary Effect, Ability Changing, Recovery, and Miscellaneous Effect. Direct Damage: The most simple type to use, Direct Damage come in four different varieties: Weak, Moderate, High, and Sacrificial. This is a reference to the power of their attacks. Competitive multiplayer games will generally rely only upon the High variety; some Sacrificial attacks (such as EXPLOSION) may be used, but most (like MEMENTO) are considered worthless. Some of these Sacrificial Attacks sacrifice a turn to charge; these are widely regarded as a bad choice, but if you must use one, it is better to sacrifice a turn after you attack (like HYPER BEAM) than before (like SKY ATTACK.) Evasive: These techniques revolve around not getting hit or surviving. PROTECT, DETECT, ENDURE, FLY, DIG, and DIVE are all Evasive attacks, though their value is generally considered questionable. There are certain circumstances where these attacks are useful, however. Status Afflicting: These techniques exist only to afflict one of the Unnamed or Named Conditions on an opponent, and have no other purpose. TOXIC, THUNDERWAVE, and CONFUSE RAY are often considered the most deadly of these. There are attacks designed specifically for afflicting a pokemon with the Faint status, but they are all very inaccurate. Secondary Effect: These techniques combine a Direct Damage attack with a decent to high chance of inflicting a status condition, raising or lowering an ability, recovering health, or creating a miscellaneous effect. HEADBUTT is a prime example. Ability Changing: Techniques of this category are designed to effectively increase the user's strengths in one or more stats (except for HP) during battle, or drop the target's abilities in one or more stats (except for HP.) Raising is generally considered better than lowering, as these changes disappear when the pokemon is benched. Recovery: These abilities revolve around regaining health or healing the pokemon of a status condition. RECOVER is the most infamous of these. Miscellaneous Effect: As the name. Moves such as SPLASH, TRANSFORM, and BATON PASS are examples. All of these moves are dependant upon Power Points (PPs) to work. It's rare that you'll run out of PPs, probably, but if you do you can't use that move anymore. If you have no PP for any of your moves, you'll use STRUGGLE, a very weak, normal-type Direct Damage attack with extremely high recoil. Pokemon Centers, ETHERs, MAX ETHERs, ELIXIRs, and MAX ELIXIRs all restore PP. A newly learned move comes with max PP. PP UPs and PP MAXes raise maximum PP. A PP MAX is equivalent to three PP UPs and are very rare; don't waste them. ______ |Traits| ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Added with Ruby and Sapphire, Traits added another dimension to every single pokemon, usually giving a new in-battle effect. Here I have listed every single trait, and all the pokemon who may have them.

Personalities can allow pokemon to exceed their normal maximum in a single stat, and happiness has a few game effects. CHART: Personality _______________________________________________ Name | Atk | Def | Spd | SpAtk | SpDef | _______________________________________________ Lonely | + | - | | | | Brave | + | | - | | | Adamant | + | | | - | | Naughty | + | | | | - | Bold | - | + | | | | Relaxed | | + | - | | | Impish | | + | | - | | Lax | | + | | | - | Timid | - | | + | | | Hasty | | - | + | | | Jolly | | | + | - | | Naïve | | | + | | - | Modest | - | | | + | | Mild | | - | | + | | Quiet | | | - | + | | Rash | | | | + | - | Calm | - | | | | + | Gentle | | - | | | + | Sassy | | | - | | + | Cheerful | | | | - | + | Quirky Hardy |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| Docile | NO CHANGE | Serious |_________________________________| Bashful Key: + is 110% Normal - is 90% Normal |Happiness| Happiness is pretty simple to get the hang of. Pokemon are basically never upset with you unless you let them get knocked out a lot. Reaching maximum happiness, then, is easy if long; simply level them up often, and walk around with them often. The vitamins which raise individual stats are a quick, if expensive, way for happiness to shoot up. This has a few benefits. A maximum happiness pokemon can use the Return technique at maximum strength, 102 power. Additionally, a few pokemon will only evolve when most contented. ======================= 09. Gotta Catch 'em All ======================= How to get all the pokemon? Well, first you've got to figure out how to meet them... There's five methods: -Capture -Events -Trading -Evolution -Breeding Remember that once a pokemon has come into your possession, you have its PokeDex data forever. _______ |Capture| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Wild pokemon can usually be randomly encountered in grass, caves, fishing, or while surfing on the ocean blue. A very small number can be seen on the field and do not engage in battle with you until you talk to them. However you encounter a wild pokemon, you will enter into battle mode against them. *If you wish to capture them, do not knock them out!* For some reason, your character has a weird code of ethics against capturing fainted, docile things; therefore, you've got to get their health down as low as you can *without* knocking them out. Status effects will greatly help, and named status effects increase chance of capture. Paralysis and Sleep are favorites due to the fact that neither cause damage, and there are plenty of attacks which cause either without inducing any damage. Once you've sufficiently disabled your target, start chucking Poke Balls! As your game progresses, you'll be able to find newer types of balls that have better capture rates than the standard Poke Ball; make sure to use these instead when you get late-game. When encountering a one-of-a-kind pokemon (the ones visible on the field screen) it is advised you save before hand. If your battle with the pokemon finishes before they're captured, you're not getting them. Sorry. You won't be able to capture any pokemon until you've delivered Oak's Package. ______ |Events| ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Certain pokemon will automatically appear in your possession after a specific event has taken place. Some of these events require the purchase of the pokemon; others are free, given to you for simply reaching a special aspect of the game. Your starting pokemon is an event pokemon, and a few others you meet are as well. _______ |Trading| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A few people within the game can trade pokemon with you. Which ones to trade with (and which ones to avoid) are something of a judgment call. Most of the in-game trades are clearly lopsided in your or the computer's favor, however. You can also link-cable with friends and trade with them. You'll need to in order to get the pokemon missing from each version. You won't be able to trade any pokemon until you've delivered OAK'S PACKAGE. _________ |Evolution| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Essentially, upgrading what you've got already. Not all Pokemon can be evolved, but most of the ones you'll meet early on can. When Pokemon evolve, they usually get better stats at the expense of a slower technique-acquisition rate. If you delay evolution, you'll get about the same stats either way at the end. All evolution can be prevented by giving a pokemon an EVERSTONE to hold. Evolution can happen one of three ways: Level up, Elemental Stone, and Trading. |Level Up| For the pokemon to evolve, you must simply raise its experience level. Pokemon of this category are the most common, and continue to learn attacks after they evolve. One variation of this is the Happiness Evolution, which does not preset a level to evolve, but requires you be at Max Happiness when you level-up. Happiness Evolution pokemon tend to have the same or improved attack list when they evolve. Level Up Evolution may be interrupted by pressing the B-button in the middle of the evolution animation. |Elemental Stone| Elemental Stone pokemon can be evolved at any time an expensive item known as an Elemental Stone is used on them. There are six types of Elemental Stones; Fire, Water, Leaf, Thunder, Sun, and Moon. Be careful evolving these pokemon; they generally learn nothing on their own once evolved! |Trading| The rarest (and most unusual) of the three ways, certain pokemon evolve immediately after transporting through a Game Link Cable. Pokemon of this category learn attacks at the same rate as before, though a few of their attacks may be different. A variation on this type requires attaching a specific hold item to a pokemon and then trading them. Pokemon that evolve by this second type are usually as strong overall as they were before, but may have better stat placements. ________ |Breeding| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Introduced to the series in Gold and Silver, breeding is a special type of event... You place two pokemon that are gender and species compatible in a pen, walk around a bit, and come back now and then to check to see if they've made an EGG. EGGs hatch into pokemon at the lowest state of the mother's evolution at level 5 after much walking. The male parentage of the pokemon determines what unusual moves (if any) the child has. =================== 10. The Walkthrough =================== Okay, here's the meat and potatoes of the guide... What all of you have been looking for. ^_^ Be aware this was written for Fire Red, and there may be some minor changes from Fire Red to Leaf Green. ___________________________ |Part 1: A ROCKY ROAD AHEAD!| - Beginning through Mt. Moon ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ |PALLET TOWN| (Shades of your adventure await!) Turn on your Game Boy and ooh and ah over the nifty remade intro screen. ^_^ I woulda liked the title screen to be the same from the originals, but meh, that's me. Okay, press Start and you'll instantly be asked to Start a New Game. After... a LOT of annoying help screens, OAK, the Pokemon Professor, will appear once more and ask you your gender, your name, and his Grandson's name. For this Japanese walkthrough, I named myself ASH, and my rival GARY. I highly advise you to name yourself in all Roman caps, to make it easier to determine when the game is talking to you. Press Select twice any time you're given a naming menu to reach the Roman characters. He'll also ask you if you're sure after you name them; Yes is always the top choice and almost always the already highlighted one. Okay... cycle through what the old fogey says, I imagine it's virtually the same from the original... And woot, Pokemon Adventure begins! Yay. You've got a Super Famicom/SNES, like in the original. ^_^ Okay, nostalgia over, walk to the PC in the top left corner and activate it. Select the top choice, which roughly translates to "Item Withdrawal." Select the one item you see there to get a POTION! Woot. Usefulness. Go downstairs, leave your house, and try to go north on Route 1... When you'll be stopped by Professor OAK! You owe him some money, you little thief! Er... wait, wrong game. It's too dangerous to go out into the wild grass without some muscle (you're short, even for an Asian person) so it's time to meet your new personal bodyguards. He'll drag you into his lab. GARY will whine about you picking your pokemon first. Too bad you can't slap him. In any event, talk to each of the three pokeballs to examine them and their contents. Say Yes to choose that pokemon, and No to look around a little more. Bulbasaur is on the left, Charmander on the right, and Squirtle in the middle. Below is some data on them. ________________ /RAP SHEET: \ / BULBASAUR (#001) \_________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Not found in the wild. | | | | TYPE1: Grass EVOLUTION: Ivysaur, LV 16 (Grass/Poison) | | TYPE2: Poison TRAIT: Overgrowth | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Bulbasaur is said to be the easiest of the three starters | | to use; more accurately, he's the simplest of the three to use.

Whichever you choose determines what GARY will choose; he'll always get the pokemon that elementally trumps yours in a one-on-one. You'll also get to name your first pokemon here; remember to name it in English so you can see when the text is talking about him. You'll now have access to the Pokemon sub-menu from the Pause Menu. Now try to leave - that little snot won't let you! He wants a pokemon battle! Well, by George, we'll give it to him. ____________________________________ For some reason, they added a tutorial |TRAINER DATA: Rival GARY | during this fight; you'll be interrupted |Pokemon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or | constantly by OAK.

Exit North onto Route 1 and ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ play 'Viridian City' if you've got the 2BA Master CD. XP Your mom will stop you briefly to talk, then you'll be off! |ROUTE 1| Pallet-Viridian A really simple route... ______________ ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\___ It's still plenty challenging when you're this early | | in the game, though. Run back to your house after | Encounters: Mid | each battle for a little while to get free healing | Pidgey: Common | from your mom. (She's downstairs, you have to bypass | Rattata: Common | her to leave.) You'll reach level 8 pretty fast this |________________________| way and you'll actually be capable of moving through the route without dying. Heh. Make sure to talk to the first guy you come across on the bottom left of the route; he gives out one free POTION sample to anyone he comes across. If you've been frugal, you've already gained about $600 worth in Pokemon Money from those potions. ^_~ (Yes, they are expensive.) You won't be able to catch anything... *yet*, so try not to level up too much or you'll kill things in one hit and be unable to catch them. You won't exactly be hurting for Pidgey and Rattata encounters for Dexdata, but they're useful to have early game. Exit North into Viridian City. |VIRIDIAN CITY| (The Eternally Green Paradise!) I'm sure your pokemon is still hurting pretty bad after Route 1, even with the level ups. The first thing you should do is run into that red-roofed building over there. As veterans of the series know, this is a Pokemon Center; they always heal your pokemon for free. Once the English version of this game comes out, always make sure to talk to everyone you can in Pokemon Centers for useful data. Upstairs is Communications Central; here you can trade, battle, or mix records with other people who have the game. (NOTE: Although there is compatability between different language versions of RuSa, this has not been confirmed for Fire and Leaf. Current data seems to point to the fact that Japanese FiLe can trade with Japanese RuSa, but not with English RuSa.) You can't do any of this right now, though - the center is down for repairs, so sad, too bad. On both levels of the Comm. Center, you'll find a PC. From Pokemon Center PCs, you can access Someone's PC or your own PC. The former allows you to store pokemon, and the latter is item storage. Neat! However, you only have two items right now, and you always have to have at least one pokemon with you at all times, so neither help you very much right now. Darn. So exit the Pokemon Center and get a gander at the city around you. Go North and West a bit to find a narrow fenced-in corridor. Hmm, wonder where it leads... follow it around to find an item next to a tree. It's another Potion! That's another 300 Pokemon-Yen! Who said money doesn't grow on trees? Exit the corridor. There's really not a lot else to do in this 'city' for right now; you can't catch pokemon, so Route 22 to the west isn't too helpful, and if you try to go north, you'll get yelled at by an old man who needs a sedative. So where to? Head to the blue-roofed building to the Northeast of the Pokemon Center. When you enter, you'll be greeted by the salesclerk, who apparently stalks you so he knows you live in Pallet. He'll ask you to take a delivery to Professor OAK because he's a lazy bum who doesn't want to hire a delivery boy... I'd smack him and steal the item, but the game doesn't let you do it. Anyway, you've got OAK'S PACKAGE now, so the most logical thing to do from here on is to go back to Professor Oak, wouldn't you say? |ROUTE 1| (Viridian-Pallet) Nothing new this time around, although since you're going ______________ south, you can go a little faster. See those brown ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\___ horizontal ledge thingies on the left side? They | | abound on this route, and all of the ones on this | Encounters: Mid | route face down. That means you can jump south over | Pidgey: Common | them and avoid all but the very last patch of grass | Rattata: Common | in this route. |________________________| |PALLET TOWN| (A Tranquil Setting of Peace and Purity!) Enter Pallet and go to the Professor's lab. Talk to him and he'll be delighted you brought the package. While you're here, he wants to make you into a guinea pig - er, beta tester for his new invention, the Pokedex. GARY will show up here to annoy you, and OAK will give both of you a brand new Pokedex (Handy 505.) You'll be able to access the Pokedex Menu from the Pause Menu. ^_^ This is easily the most sophisticated of Dex systems they've implemented into any game in this series; I suggest you take a look at it. You'll also get 5 POKEBALLs from OAK. Now exit OAK's lab and go into GARY's house; it's the only building I haven't told you to enter in Pallet Town yet. Talk to GARY's sister to get a TOWN MAP. It's not terribly useful, but the increased item storage in FiLe compared to RGBY makes it less of a burden, and new players may find the map helpful. Now leave Pallet once more and head for Viridian, now that you've got a PokeDex. |VIRIDIAN CITY| (The Eternally Green Paradise!) First thing's first - head for that PokeMart now that you've delivered that blasted package! You'll be able to buy some stuff now, even though you've got meager money supplies; only 3080 in liquid assets if you've been keeping up. This is what the Viridian City PokeMart has for sale: _________ If you're trying to catch a lot, I suggest you load up on /SHOP MENU\_______ POKEBALLs; I'd buy 10. Try to stay away from the other |POKEBALL - $200| stuff for now; you're not rich, and you've got two nearby |POTION - $300| sources of free healing, so you have no real excuse to |ANTIDOTE - $100| waste your money on that stuff. |PARLYZ HEAL - $200| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you got Bulbasaur or Squirtle, I *highly* recommend picking up a Pidgey or Spearow now to help you through Viridian Forest and your upcoming Rival battle. Those who chose Charmander might want to get a Mankey to help them in Pewter City. Where to get Spearow or Mankey, you ask? |ROUTE 22| (Viridian-Victory Road) Do *not* proceed past the grass patch, unless you want a ______________ fight you're probably not ready for. Spend a little ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\___ time here leveling up; anywhere from 8 to 10 is good.| | I picked up a Rattata and Spearow here to add to my | Encounters: Mid | team. Spearow's PECK attack is brutal at this point | Mankey: Uncommon | in the game, doing large damage to bugs and grass | Rattata: Common | types, and Rattata's evolution, Raticate, is good for| Spearow: Rare | a long time throughout the game. Once you feel you're|________________________| tough enough, go north and west, where GARY will interrupt your life once more... _____________ /RAP SHEET: \ / RIVAL Fight #2\____________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: Trainer STRATEGY: Look cool and be arrogant. | | | | TYPE: RIVAL REWARDS: $144, Bragging Rights | | POKEMON: 2 Pidgey, Level 9 (105 EXP) | | Starter, Level 9 (~100 EXP) | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: GARY's back, and he wants to test out his puny, early | | skills against you!

If you go farther down this road, you'll find you'll be stuck not long after you get inside the building; that's the way to Victory Road, and you'll need some BADGEs to proceed. |VIRIDIAN CITY| (The Eternally Green Paradise!) Heal up at the Pokemon Center; GARY's probably taken a decent chunk out of you. Now you can go north; the grumpy old man's gotten his coffee. Now he's feeling helpful, though... great. He'll run you through a little tutorial on how to catch Pokemon, not that you need it by now... And he'll also give you a weird TV item that lets you watch more tutorials on pokemon catching... wow, Nintendo loves tutorials. It's a key item, if you want to use it for some reason. You can go east from here... that building over there looks like a GYM, but it's locked down. Hmm... There doesn't appear to be a way to get in, so leave it for now and exit the city north, to Route 2 and Viridian Forest. |ROUTE 2| (Viridian-Pewter) This route almost isn't worth mentioning at this ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\___ point in the game... it'll become much more important| | later on, when you can get to the right side, but for| Encounters: Mid | right now, all it is, is a transitional route between| Pidgey: Common | Viridian, Viridian Forest, and Pewter. Don't bother | Rattata: Common | spending time here. Exit North into the Viridian | Caterpie: Uncommon (FR)| Forest proper. | Weedle: Uncommon (LG) | |________________________| |VIRIDIAN FOREST| (Thank God it's not the Lost Woods...) ...The first thing you will say when you step in, is "Oh my God." This area is basically the same as it was when the game was first released, but if the facelift is evident anywhere in this game, it is here. The still of the light filtering down through the tree canopy is just one of many indications for how far the series has come since the days when 90% of the pokemon battle sprites resembled barely alive roadkill. If there is one pokemon Squirtle and Charmander ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\___ players MUST get in here, it is Pikachu; Pikachu's | | electrical attacks lay waste to the water-types you | Encounters: Mid | must face soon. Butterfree is a highly recommended | Pikachu: Rare | pokemon; its been instrumental to many of my wins in | Kakuna: Uncommon (FR) | linkplay, due to some luck and a very useful trait it| Kakuna: Rare (LG) | received with the series update. The only way to get | Caterpie: Common | Butterfree is by evolving a Metapod at level 10, so | Weedle: Common | get to it! If you can't find a Metapod, just evolve | Metapod: Uncommon (LG) | a Caterpie at Level 7. Head all the way up and left, | Metapod: Rare (FR) | into the corner and pick up a POKEBALL here, before |________________________| you do anything else. Pokemon have become considerably more restless since the original versions of these games, and are much more apt to break free than you may remember. Make sure to go all the way to the bottom right in the forest to pick up a POTION in the grass. _____________ /RAP SHEET: \ / PIKACHU (#025)\___________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Rarely found in the wild. | | | | TYPE1: Electric EVOLUTION: Raichu, Thunderstone (Electric) | | TRAIT: Static | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: The most popular (and some say most evil) of the pokemon, | | Pikachu is still one pokemon that most players will not want to pass up on.| | Virtually essential to Charmander and Squirtle players to handle water pkmn| | he still makes a nice companion for late game Bulbasaurs.

A Butterfree|TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | Spearow, or Pidgey (as well as Charmander|Pokemon: Weedle, Lv 7: 78 EXP | ) will all make him topple quickly.

I imagine this will come in handy, as Poison is extremely deadly out-of-battle at this low level. If you keep going North and around the tree grove, you'll encounter another trainer... ____________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | Two Caterpies... the sad thing is, he's |Pokemon: Caterpie, Lv 7: 79 EXP | probably the hardest trainer in here... | Caterpie, Lv 8: 90 EXP | |Rewards: $96 | Not much else to say. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Then continue west through the minilabyrinth, going north and south as needed. There's yet another trainer fight here, this one completely optional; this guy never turns away from the wall, so he won't spot you. Still, it's a good idea to fight him for EXP and money. ____________________________________ With two Metapods, do I really need to |TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | give you a strategy? I hope not... |Pokemon: Metapod, Lv 7: 108 EXP | | Caterpie, Lv 7: 79 EXP | After dusting him off, continue along | Metapod, Lv 7: 108 EXP | the path. When you come to a fork in the |Rewards: $84 | road, go right first, and pick up the ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ item laying there; it's a POTION. Now go the other way. Before walking in the path of this guy's sight, go as far left as you can. Go one step underneath his ____________________________________ line of sight, and press A. You'll get a |TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | POTION that the idiot dropped. =p Now it |Pokemon: Weedle, Lv 9: 99 EXP | is time to fight him. (Don't worry, he |Rewards: $108 | won't ask for the POTION back.) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This is the highest level roadside trainer we've met yet, but he's still easier than GARY... and you've already gotten a lot stronger than you were then. Continue up and out of Viridian Forest. Note the giant hill to the right as you exit... it *will* be important. |PEWTER CITY| (A Stone, Gray City.) Heal up. Stop by the PokeMart to see if they have anything you need, to; they're not as sparsely stocked as the Viridian Mart. The ESCAPE ROPE is a decent buy if you've got a frail team; /SHOP MENU\_______ it allows you to get out of a cave or similar indoor area |POKEBALL - $200| to the last Pokemon Center you visited. It only works in |POTION - $300| places like a Skyscraper infested with criminals and a |ANTIDOTE - $100| dungeon of ridiculously powerful monsters - it won't work |PARLYZ HEAL - $200| in a museum or something else benign. |BURN HEAL - $250| |AWAKENING - $200| REPEL's worthless in my view; it only stops random battles |ESCAPE ROPE - $550| of your lead pokemon's level or lower, and only for 100 |REPEL - $100| steps. I find the extra EXP much more valuable. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Pick up an AWAKENING or two before we're done with Pewter - you'll need it. But don't buy it right now. Now, what to do? You can go north to the museum, but it's not going to be terribly interesting right now when you can't read anything since this was made in another language. (You can, however, pick up a hidden POKEBALL in the patch of very light green grass in the leftmost part of the museum lot - just press 'A' in different places.) You can try to go east, but you'll be stopped by an annoying guy who brings you in front of... yep, you guessed it. Pewter GYM. It's time for your first GYM. ________________________ |PEWTER CITY POKEMON GYM:| | ROCK ON | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This GYM is very sparsely populated, only consisting of its LEADER and one subordinate. I suggest you go ahead and fight subordinate for EXP, run back to the Pokemon Center, and take on BROCK... By the way, if you check out the statues in the front of this GYM, you'll notice GARY already took the LEADER out... lovely. ________________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Junior Trainer | This guy is much tougher than GARY.. |Pokemon: Geodude, Lv 10: 182 EXP | Thankfully, we've toughened up since | Sandshrew, Lv 11: 219 EXP | too!

(And the way they learn it is weird - sticking a CD on their head? Oooookay... The TM BROCK gives you is neither very useful (it's okay) nor can it be learned by many pokemon you've encountered thus far; it contains ROCK TOMB. With the BOULDERBADGE you can now walk past the first security guard on Routes 22-23... Feel free to try it if you like. But first try to leave town through the East Gate. You'll be stopped by one of OAK'S AIDEs, who will give you the RUNNINGSHOES! From now on, you can press B while on the field to run and move twice as fast. Excellent. |ROUTE 3| (Pewter-Mt.

Now move up to face yet *another* Bugcatcher... ____________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | Really should be nothing surprising at |Pokemon: Caterpie, Lv 10: 112 EXP | this point, Bugcatchers have zero | Metapod, Lv 10: 153 EXP | originality. =p | Caterpie, Lv 10: 112 EXP | |Rewards: $120 | Go around the rock wall to the right, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ after the fight is over. You'll find an ESCAPE ROPE if you need it. Now go back to the ladder I had you pass earlier. If you go down it and into the tunnel it leads, you'll find an area of Mt. Moon rich in Paras... Which is not necessarily a good thing at all, thanks to the annoying trait the buggers have. But if you need to catch one, the tunnels are the place to do it. Regardless, follow the tunnel around and out. When you try to leave, you'll be attacked by a trainer in black - and weird challenge music plays when he talks. What's going on? Reintroducing the kings of crime... ______________________________________ Rocketto Dan! (Team Rocket!) |TRAINER DATA: Rocket Grunt | |Pokemon: Sandshrew, Lv 11: 219 EXP | heh.

We *like* ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Rocket Grunts. ^_^ Go right and pick up the strange pink stone in an item ball; it's a STAR PIECE, which you can sell at a store for a lot of money. Return to the main floor. Go right and then up a bit to see a fat man wandering around... what does he want? No clue, but he wasn't in the original and he doesn't want to fight. But see the girl wandering around to your left? Yeah. She wants you. ____________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Lass | To fight her. =p |Pokemon: Oddish, Lv 11: 183 EXP| She uses Grass/Poison types so Spearows, | Bellsprout, Lv 11: 198 EXP| Pidgeottos, Charmeleons, and Butterfrees |Rewards: $176 | will have fun with her. Wartortles and ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Geodudes should beware. =p Keep going left and head down the next mine shaft. When you get to the other side, stay just out out of the Rocket's line of sight to go up and grab the TM46 (Thief) out of the item ball, then come down for a fight. ____________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Rocket Grunt | Torch (or leaf or soak) this guy, then |Pokemon: Zubat, Lv 11: 126 EXP | walk over to the boulder to his right & | Ekans, Lv 11: 145 EXP | press A when looking at it. You'll get |Rewards: $352 | an Ether, which will refill up to 10 PP ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ of a single attack. Woot. Now, return to the main floor once more... Go south and get ready for a fight! Meh, nothing remarkable to say... ______________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Youngster | Just go Northwest for your next fight. |Pokemon: Rattata, Lv 10: 121 EXP | | Rattata, Lv 10: 121 EXP | ____________________________________ | Zubat, Lv 10: 115 EXP | |TRAINER DATA: Hiker | |Rewards: $160 | |Pokemon: Geodude, Lv 10: 183 EXP | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | Geodude, Lv 10: 183 EXP | Woah!

Now go up and into the Northwest corner to pick up your first MOON STONE! Though your first impulse may be to use this thing on your Jigglypuff, Clefairy, Nidorino, or Nidorina, I'd highly suggest waiting until around level 40 or 50 when they've finished learning all their moves. Now, go downstairs in the last mineshaft. Follow it around to the end, and go straight up when you surface to find a REVIVE! Excellent! Now go south and east a bit to follow the obvious path around to get to your next battle. ______________________________________ While Red/Blue players may be pumped |TRAINER DATA: Rocket Grunt | since this guy had a level 16 Raticate |Pokemon: Rattata, Lv 13: 157 EXP | to fear originally, he's been | Sandshrew, Lv 13: 258 EXP | permanently reduced to a line up that's|Rewards: $416 | similar to what he had in Yellow... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Sorry. Continue following the path around - you'll go clockwise around a very big path to eventually come to (your last, for now) Rocket. ____________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Rocket Grunt | There. That wasn't so bad, now was it? |Pokemon: Rattata, Lv 13: 157 EXP | Move into the alcove to your upper-right | Zubat, Lv 13: 150 EXP | (NOT the one next to you) and press A |Rewards: $416 | to examine the stone at the end to get a ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ second MOON STONE! Joy! Progress North to find a Super Nerd - ______________________________________ your last fight! |TRAINER DATA: Super Nerd | This guy has three rare pokemon, two of|Pokemon: Grimer, Lv 12: 231 EXP | which you haven't seen before. They're | Voltorb, Lv 12: 264 EXP | Poison, Electric, and Poison-typed res-| Koffing, Lv 12: 292 EXP | pectively, though, so if you got a |Rewards: $288, a FOSSIL | Geodude, they'll be cake. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After you trounce the Nerd, he'll let you pass. It seems he found two awesome fossils while Team Rocket's been scurrying around trying to get the same thing. He'll let you take one home as apologies for attacking you; he's just super- protective. Just beware; this will not be the last time you hear of Team Rocket trying to steal stuff. Go north to select your fossil. The DOME FOSSIL is on the left, while the HELIX FOSSIL is on the right. Both are pretty awesome, but I'd go with the DOME FOSSIL... The pokemon that can be cloned from it is cooler than HELIX FOSSIL's, though I've been told the latter is more useful in Linkplay. After you take your pick, the Super Nerd will grab his back. Now it's time for you to blow this popstand... but wait! If there is anything you still need to get from Pallet to Viridian, go back and get it now! You won't be able to come back for a while. Pick up the Item Ball on the way out to get an ANTIDOTE, which I'm sure one of your pokemon will need after the fight with Koffing. |ROUTE 4| (Mt. Moon-Cerulean) Wow. It's nice to be back in the sunshine, eh? Walk straight west without popping down any ledges to find two Karate Kings; they don't want to fight you though. Your Kung Fu is weak. =X They will, however, teach two different techniques! The one on the left teaches MEGA PUNCH to a single pokemon of your choice, an attack comparable to Rattata's HYPER FANG in power and accuracy (though it can't cause flinch.) It's a good move to teach Pikachus so they aren't completely helpless against Ground-types. It's also the one of the best techniques Clefairy and Jigglypuff will probably have for a while, and the same goes for Geodude. The one on the right is a kicking master, and teaches the (much) more powerful MEGA KICK. The only flaw with MEGA KICK is its even lower accuracy and low PP, so I'd only get this if you feel pretty lucky with getting your attacks to connect. If you don't have Pikachu or Paras with you but you chose Charmander or Squirtle, you may want to give these attacks to them for the next GYM if you haven't picked up their SLASH or BITE techniques respectively. Either way, continue east and go up the next ledge-hill you find to pick up TM05, ROAR. This technique is similar to the WHIRLWIND ability I'm sure some of you with Pidgeys and Butterfrees have gotten; it causes the opponent to run away. In a trainer battle this means a switch out. Be warned that you will always go second while using ROAR or WHIRLWIND, though. WHIRLWIND's one advantage over ROAR is that it can be used while the target is in mid-air. Keep going East. See that long grass below you? If you jump into it, you will have hit that point of no return I talked about before leaving Mt. Moon. ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\_____ You can pick up your first version exclusives here | Encounters: Mid | but they're kind of hard to find... You may want | Spearow: Common | to wait a little bit, there will be places they're | Rattata: Common | more abundant in shortly. Fire Red players may not | Mankey: Rare | even want to bother; Ekans is not too useful. | Ekans: Uncommon (FR) | When you're done, head East into Cerulean City. | Sandshrew: Uncommon (LG) | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _________________________________ |Part 2: WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE!| - Cerulean City through S.S.

Feel free to head to the town PokeMart now and see what bargains they have for sale; you may find something to aid you on your quest. /SHOP MENU\________ Cerulean's mart is a pretty nifty place; this'll be the |POKEBALL - $200| first time you run across the SUPER POTION item, but |SUPER POTION - $700| certainly not the last.

Excellent. The TMMISTY gave you should come in handy; I wouldn't bother teaching it to Wartortle and definitely not Gyarados, but there are others in the game who can make excellent use of it. It came with the 8th GYM in RuSa for a reason, after all. ^_^ Heal up once more after that difficult fight, then head into the Northwestern house in Cerulean. Ignore the man sitting there and walk into the backyard. Swing a right immediately and walk over to the patch of five flowers. Examine the space between the bottom two flowers. You'll get another RARE CANDY. Nifty. To the right of the house you were in, there's another house with an old man who seems to be collecting crushed berries. (?) I don't know where to obtain them yet, but he'll give you a BOTTLE key item to hold them in. Wow, it's like I'm playing the Legend of Zelda! =p If you keep going right (taking care to stay as far away from the bridge as possible for now), the Northeastern most house has a Police Officer blocking the entrance. It seems that the heinous villains of Team Rocket were here... Hmm. The man in the house next to the Pokemon Center is looking for a Poliwhirl. Keep note of this, since there's little chance you could have one by now. If you come back with a Poliwhirl, you'll get a very scary banshee-monster-viking- fat-lady thing called Jynx in return. Her usefulness is questionable, but she's another pokemon to add to your collection. There's some other fun stuff to do around here, too. If you wander to the Southwest corner of town, you'll find a BICYCLE SHOP. Unfortunately, they want 1,000,000 PokeYen for a Bike! Yikes! Your wallet only holds $999,999! (For those curious, I believe the exchange rate for Yen to the US Dollar is either 1,000 or 10,000, making the price believable: $100 to $1,000. You're just poor as dirt. =p) You'll have to come back sometime with a coupon or something... that's just too much. So there's only one thing to do now that you've explored the town; leave! The TOWN MAP shows that the next town is to the south of here, but... If you attempt to leave the town to the south, you'll find your way blocked by a girl and her Slowbro, as well as a small sapling. There will eventually be a way for you to remove the sapling, but the girl and her lazy pokemon will have to move on their own. =p What to do, what to do... wait, didn't we see a bridge up north? Yes, we did. Why don't we go up there and see what we find? Err... it's your rival. Great! Great... Looks like he wants to scrap again.

Lots of things to beat up on in that route! Now enter the cottage you fought so hard to reach. Hmm, looks like no one's home. If you examine the PC you'll see that apparently the owner left in a bit of a rush; his freakin' teleporter experiment is still running! Go over and talk to the weird pink thing on the floor. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but uh... talk to it. =p The... thing... will talk! Apparently, his name is BILL and he created that nifty pokemon storage system you've been using. (Note: after this, Someone's PC will be replaced with BILL'S PC on the PC Menu at Pokemon Centers.) Somehow he screwed up his teleporter experiment and got his genes recombinated with a pokemon's. Ouch. He needs you to run the doohicky that'll fix his state while he's in the chamber, so say Yes when he asks you. As soon as he runs into the weird room, go to the PC and activate it. The Teleporter system will kick in and finish the process, freeing BILL! Woot! Go talk to the grateful man now that he's been freed. He'll give you an S.S. TICKET to party aboard the expensive cruiseliner S.S. ANNE as payment! Woot! Tonight, we eat cocktail! >>; It's a Key Item, and it will use itself when you need it, so don't worry. If you leave/re-enter BILL'S cottage you can look at pictures of BILL's four favorite pokemon - Eevee, Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon. Hey, wait a sec - how can a pokemon evolve that many times in a row? Forget it for now and go south. Instead of coming back the way you came, continue south and then west past the couple making out at the seaside lake. This is essentially the expressway through Routes 24 & 25; unfortunately, it only works in one direction. |CERULEAN CITY| (A Mysterious, Blue Aura Surrounds It...) Back in Cerulean, you may have noticed that the Police Officer has moved away from the door of the burgled house and you can spy a Rocket Grunt hanging around in the backyard... Heal up, then enter the house. It's been trashed pretty badly; I don't know what that Rocket was doing, but obviously he never learned the idea of stealth in Thief University. He even left a giant gaping hole to the backyard in the back of the house! ... Yeah, don't ask me, just go through it. You'll be stopped by the Rocket and challenged to a fight. Guess it's time to show him villainy never pays! (And he should stay Drug-free.) __________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Rocket Grunt | You'll get TM28, DIG, for knocking the |Pokemon: Machop, Lv 17: 319 EXP | stuffings out of the thug. For some reason | Drowzee, Lv 17: 370 EXP | though, you can't give it back to the |Rewards: $544, TM28 | original owners. Just keep it; not too ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ useful in battle, but outside of battle it works like a free ESCAPE ROPE. It's handy to have for the duration of the single-player game. Go south and around the city, taking care not to accidentally jump off the ledge next to the GYM. You're free! Free! Onto Routes 5 & 6! |ROUTES 5 & 6| (Cerulean - Vermillion) Kind of an empty route... there's a daycare center ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\_____ down south past all the ledges, but they only take | Encounters: Mid | one pokemon at a time; you can breed pokemon in | Meowth: Common | this game, but here is not where you'll have it | Pidgey: Common | done. | Oddish: Common (FR) | | Bellsprout: Common (LG) | Still, you'll want to stick around for a little bit|__________________________| if only to catch a new pokemon; Meowth! ____________ /RAP SHEET: \ / MEOWTH (#053)\_____________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Commonly found in the wild | | | | TYPE1: NORMAL EVOLUTION: Persian, LV 28 (Normal) | | TRAIT: Pick Up | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Meowth's not especially rare, but he is certainly an odd | | find.

That's right!" | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As far as the breeding center goes, it's not worth it. Pokemon gain 1 EXP for every step you take (1.5 if they're traded, I believe) and it costs you $100 to withdraw a pokemon, plus $100 more for every level they gained while in there. I'd only use it for Magikarps and maybe Abras if you don't have any TMs they can use... You weren't actually crazy enough to evolve that Magikarp by yourself, were you? Were you?! Oh God, what have I done?! o.- Oh well. Once you're done on this route, run into the gatehouse to the south. If you try to walk through, you'll be stopped. The guards have been told not to let anyone in except on official business (a town under house arrest? O_o;) and that's that. Absolutely no bribing. There's no tea you could ever get them to soothe their parched throats and look the other way. Nope. Never. (At least not right now.) So leave the gatehouse and go to the small building to the right. The person inside wants to trade you a Nidoran(F) for a Nidoran(M), which might be a good deal for you FR players, as the female variety is much harder to get your hands on. Sucky deal for the LG players. It's not a great trade, but it can't hurt. Whether you make it or not, go down the steps. Welcome to the Underground Passage. Now walk forever and come out the other side. Thank you for riding Underground Passage Airways, and have a nice day. (Yes, it really is that uneventful.) You'll now be on Route 6, which has the exact same encounter table as Route 5. It also has a gatehouse to Saffron City that is also being guarded. So, since you can't go North... There are 6 trainers to fight on this field... starting with a Bugcatcher all the way on the left... ______________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Bugcatcher | These weak, unevolved Bug-types are |Pokemon: Weedle, Lv 16: 177 EXP | nothing you haven't seen before... | Weedle, Lv 16: 177 EXP | Demolish him and move on to the couple | Caterpie, Lv 16: 181 EXP | having an argument by the pond.

Vermillion City is the first big Pokemon town you've visited; it has a harbor, a GYM, and just lots of space. But the first thing you should always do, of course is... Heal! Immediately after you rest up at the Pokemon Center, talk to the girl next to you. She will give you something I call the BATTLE ALERT. Use it in sight of trainers you fought before to see if any of them want a rematch. After using it once, you will have to wait a little time (100 steps) before you can use it again. Go ahead and leave the Center and head to the house on the left. There's a fisherman inside who seems to eager to indoctrinate new trainers into his cult. ^^; If you wish to be indoctrinated (not really, I'm just joking) then go ahead and tell him 'Yes' when he asks you a question to get the OLD ROD! To use a ROD is a bit more complicated than it originally was; you'll see . . . . . . . . . Slowly appear on your screen - it may interrupt this at some point, however, and give you another message with an exclamation point at the end. Press 'A' immediately when you see this or the fish will be gone. If it shows all the dots before a pokemon hooks on, you miss the pokemon when it is hooked, or you reel in too early (before the message), you won't get a catch. Unfortunately, it appears as though they've kept what each of the RODs will catch from the original (although not the easier system of use) and all this thing can do is catch Magikarp. Great. A Magikarp stick. Still, a good item for those of you who didn't buy that thing back at Mt. Moon. Go south and enter the building on the left. It's a Pokemon Fan Club. Go and talk to the elderly gentleman at the top of the room inside. He's caught over 100 different species of pokemon and is in a mood to bend your ear off. Say 'Yes' when he asks you if you want to listen. Scroll through his confessions of romantic feelings for his Rapidash to get a BIKE VOUCHER! Sweet! Now you can get that bike in Cerulean for free! Go ahead and run back to get it now if you want. I'll wait. (Just talk to the Sales Clerk in the shop, he'll automatically recognize you have a BIKE VOUCHER and give you a free BICYCLE in exchance.) Unfortunately, it's only as fast as your RUNNING SHOES, but you will need the Bike later. Going to the house to the right of the Fan Club, you'll find a very stupid boy willing to trade his rare Farfetch'D for a common Spearow. This is one trade you should be able to make; if you don't have a Spearow, run out to Route 11 to the right to get one! _______________ /RAP SHEET: \ / FARFETCH'D (#83)\__________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Never found in the wild | | | | TYPE1: Normal TRAIT: Inner Focus, Keen Eye | | TYPE2: Flying | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Farfetch'D is a little... weird. Very cute, though. He's | | not too useful; if you've been keeping levels up, just about any bird 'mon | | you get can waste him in terms of battle-usefulness. He does, however, make| | for a very fun HM Slave, learning both CUT and FLY. He also looks pretty | | damn cool... He's like a French Swordsman... Only Japanese... and a duck...| | and he uses a leek... Oh, screw it. You know what I mean. | | | | TRADEMARK MOVES: SWORDS DANCE, PECK, FLY, CUT | | | | RECOMMENDED MOVES: FLY, CUT; Like Persian, not much of a warrior. | | | | LIKES: Having real ultimate power.

Ducks can't talk, silly. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Farfetch'D comes with a STICK attached, which raises his critical hit rate, making him slightly more useful for now. Slightly. You can try to go to the GYM to the south, but you'll find the path is blocked by another of those small trees that you've been seeing for a little while... The PokeMart is to the east, stop by to see what they have to offer. /SHOP MENU\________ As you can see, nothing too new to ya, although the fact |POKEBALL - $200| that AWAKENING is no longer on the list should be a BIG |SUPER POTION - $700| relief to you. Freeze is a much less common condition, |ANTIDOTE - $100| although it is just as annoying. |PARALYZ HEAL - $200| |BURN HEAL - $250| Remember that extra Abra I told you to pick up back on |ICE HEAL - $250| Routes 24 & 25? Get it out of the computer. You'll be |REPEL - $350| trading it soon. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ To the east of Viridian City, you'll find Diglett's Cave and Route 11. Stop in Diglett's cave to pick up a, well, Diglett... |DIGLETT's CAVE| (Dark...) ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\_____ Diglett's cave has a high range of pokemon levels, | Encounters: High | so watch out! You may find several that are higher | Diglett: Common | than you've ever faced off again. | Dugtrio: Rare | When catching a Diglett, attempt to Run or swap ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ while any pokemon you have other than a Flying type is active. If you cannot run, catch that Diglett - it has Arena Trap, by FAR a more useful trait than Sand Veil. Digletts are good pokemon, fast and powerful, and they sport an immunity to electric you will want soon... They also come with that DIG technique you just got a TM for. _____________ /RAP SHEET: \ / DIGLETT (#050)\____________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Occasionally found in the wild | | | | TYPE1: Ground EVOLUTION: Dugtrio, LV 26 (Ground) | | TRAIT: Arena Trap, Sand Veil | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Diglett is a mole. A hella fast mole. It vaguely resembles| | a stale fruitcake someone tried to put a face on, then buried out of shame.| | Don't let this scare you, though; his evolution, Dugtrio, is vicious and | | fast as hell, with a high attack stat. Unlike just about every other pkmn | | of his type, he lacks in defense, but he's a blitzkrieg sweeper. Plus, he's| | immune to THUNDERWAVE. There are very few Ground-type pokemon you should | | ever use, and Dugtrio is one of those. | | | | TRADEMARK MOVES: DIG, EARTHQUAKE, FISSURE | | | | RECOMMENDED MOVES: ROCK SLIDE, EARTHQUAKE, TRI ATTACK | | | | LIKES: The campy game Dig Dug.

You'll find yourself on Route 2, but there's no way for you to leave to enter West Kanto proper. So go south and into the only building you are capable of entering right now. Talk to the guy playing on the GBA in the top of the house if you want to trade an Abra for a Mr. Mime - it's a fair deal, so I'd go for it. ______________ /RAP SHEET: \ / MR. MIME (#122)\___________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: POKEMON RARITY: Never found in the wild | | | | TYPE1: Psychic TRAIT: Soundproof | | | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Mr. Mime, like Farfetch'D, never evolves. Mr. Mime, unlike| | Farfetch'D, is actually worth using. Though he looks a little disturbing | | (okay, a lot disturbing, he's a mime pokemon!) he's really quite useful, | | learning a number of defensive techniques and getting a nice Grass-type | | move as well as BATON PASS. His stats aren't amazing, but his techniques | | are; TRICK is a fun move to use. The downside is, he's traded - I wouldn't | | bother messing with him until you beat GYM 4, so you can stop worrying | | about accidentally leveling him up past the point where he'll obey you. | | Breed a second one. | | | | TRADEMARK MOVES: BARRIER, SUBSTITUTE | | | | RECOMMENDED MOVES: SUBSTITUTE, BARRIER, BATON PASS, PSYCHIC, ENCORE | | | | LIKES: Pantomiming with hotties... yeah... uh, no... | | DISLIKES: Clowns.

MIMES DON'T TALK. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Trade done, re-enter Diglett's Cave. If you've got a pokemon with DIG or an ESCAPE ROPE I highly suggest you use it to warp back to Vermillion now, unless your pokemon are still in good shape. Either way, once you get back to Vermillion and heal, move back past Diglett's Cave and enter the route to the East of it. |ROUTE 11| (Vermillion-Silence Bridge) Go north immediately upon entering Route 11 to get an ICE HEAL. Nifty. There are ten trainers here, strewn about a rather short but wide (and open) route. I'm just going to list all 10 here; after getting in a battle, check here to see which one you engaged and further information on them. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Youngster |TRAINER DATA: Youngster | |Pokemon: Ekans, Lv 21: 279 EXP |Pokemon: Sandshrew, Lv 19: 378 EXP | |Rewards: $336 | Zubat, Lv 19: 219 EXP | |--------------------------------------|Rewards: $304 | |TRAINER DATA: Youngster |--------------------------------------| |Pokemon: Nidoran(M), Lv 18: 231 EXP |TRAINER DATA: Gambler | | Nidorino, Lv 18: 454 EXP |Pokemon: Growlithe, Lv 18: 351 EXP | |Rewards: $288 | Vulpix, Lv 18: 243 EXP | |--------------------------------------|Rewards: $1296 (!!!) | |TRAINER DATA: Engineer |--------------------------------------| |Pokemon: Magnemite, Lv 21: 400 EXP |TRAINER DATA: Youngster | |Rewards: $1008 |Pokemon: Rattata, Lv 17: 207 EXP | |--------------------------------------| Rattata, Lv 17: 207 EXP | |TRAINER DATA: Gambler | Raticate, Lv 17: 272 EXP | |Pokemon: Bellsprout, Lv 18: 324 EXP |--------------------------------------| | Oddish, Lv 18: 300 EXP |TRAINER DATA: Engineer | |Rewards: $1296 |Pokemon: Magnemite, Lv 18: 342 EXP | |--------------------------------------| Magnemite, Lv 18: 342 EXP | |TRAINER DATA: Gambler | Magneton, Lv 18: 621 EXP | |Pokemon: Poliwag, Lv 18: 297 EXP |Rewards: $864 | | Horsea, Lv 18: 319 EXP |--------------------------------------| |Rewards: $1296 |TRAINER DATA: Gambler | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|Pokemon: Voltorb, Lv 18: 396 EXP | | Magnemite, Lv 18: 342 EXP | |Rewards: $1296 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ____/ENCOUNTER TABLE\_____ | Encounters: Mid | Before leaving the route, make sure to pick up an | Drowzee: Uncommon | ESCAPE ROPE hidden in a rock near the Gatehouse, | Ekans (FR): Common | as well as an X DEFENSE from the middle of the | Sandshrew (LG): Common | route.

Yes, master? | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After you're done scrapping all the trainers (make sure to thank the Gamblers and Engineers for paying so much o_o) enter the Gatehouse to the East. This Gatehouse has a viewing platform on top, so why don't you go up the stairs? There are some binocs, but the ones here won't actually show you any pictures and we can't read Japanese, so... talk to OAK'S AIDE on the left there. If you've got 30 Pokemon Species (Which you may have, if you've been keeping up and evolving; I had 45 caught at this point without Clefairy or any Moon Stone evolution pokemon, though I basically evolved everything that could be evolved be leveling up) he'll give you an ITEMFINDER. Use it to see if there are any hidden items on screen - it'll give you a bell tone when it does. It won't pinpoint it for you though, and I'll be pointing out most of the important hidden items, so you may want to not bother with it. There's also a Youngster here who wants to trade his Nidorina for a Nidorino. A decent trade for the Fire Red players, but very sucky for the Leaf Green players. Go downstairs and exit the Gatehouse to the East, onto Route 12. You'll progress a little bit, then find the way blocked by a sleeping pokemon. Unfortunately, by the same strange code of honor that keeps you from catching a fainted pokemon, you're not allowed to attack the blasted thing and kill it for meat while it's asleep. So you'll have to turn back now; return to Vermillion City. |VERMILLION CITY| (The Port of Exquisite Sunsets!) Stop by the pokemon center, then go to the south of the city, on the docks. This is the world-famous Vermillion Harbor, which gets cruises from all around the globe! The S.S. Anne is docked here, but unfortunately, the game doesn't let you go on a cruise; I guess the pleasures of women and wine on the water don't apply to games. =p (If you really want a cruise on pokemon, just pay for your own cruise and bring a gameboy with you!) Walk past the sailor guarding the pier; he'll ask you for your S.S. TICKET. If you brought it with you, he'll automatically let you pass. If not, retrieve it from the computer. |S.S. ANNE| (This Is The Love Boat...) Funny; the boat really should have left by now... Bill gave you the ticket to the Trainer's Party a while ago. Wonder what's holding them up? Whatever it is, it's making the passengers restless, so many of them may challenge you to a fight. Whether they do or not, try to visit every cabin; the S.S. Anne is chock-full of items you don't want to have missed. There are a lot of cabins on each floor, as well as several staircases. I'll tackle each of the cabins in order, left to right, starting from the upper-left one, then handle the different floors; but first, go all the way down the left corridor and into the kitchen. There's a GREAT BALL on the floor in the bottom left-hand corner; pick it up. Okay, now onto the Cabins! CABIN 2A: Nothing, just a gentleman who is undercover tracking Team Rocket...

Remember that you can (and should) enter and leave the S.S. Anne at any time before getting HM01 if you need to; but once you get the HM01 (CUT), don't leave or you won't be able to come back! I doubt you'll need to leave though. Cabin 2F has a Nurse Joy on vacation, who will gladly heal your pokemon for you if they get worn. CABIN 2C: A dad, son, and their Wigglytuff.

Head back upstairs and go on to the next staircase (in the left) for the first- class quarters. Follow the corridor down and take a left at the end to go up the stairs once more onto the top floor. Walk to the end of this hallway and out the door onto the upper deck. You can see the pier from here. Nifty. ^_^ There's not many fights here (only two, both sailors), just a lot of people throwing up/enjoying the fresh air. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Sailor |TRAINER DATA: Sailor | |Pokemon: Machop, Lv 17: 319 EXP |Pokemon: Machop, Lv 18: 339 EXP | | Tentacool, Lv 17: 382 EXP | Shellder, Lv 18: 373 EXP | |Rewards: $544 |Rewards: $576 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now go back to the first class quarters to finish off this place.

Now go back and heal one last time before you move on... because when you go down the right-hand corridor... _____________ /RAP SHEET: \ / RIVAL Fight #4\____________________________________________________________ | | | CLASS: Trainer STRATEGY: He's going to try this new idea we call | | "beating people up with all you got." | | | | TYPE: RIVAL REWARDS: $720 | | POKEMON: 4 Pidgeotto, Level 19 (459 EXP) | | Evolved Starter, Level 20 (~600 EXP) | | Kadabra, Level 18 (558 EXP) | | Raticate, Level 16 (397 EXP) | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: GARY has 40 pokemon in his pokedex (how the heck did he do| | that AND manage to stay ahead?) and he's also learned CUT from the Ship's | | Captain - looks like he's about to go and try it out to gain entry to the | | Vermillion GYM. So now we know what you have to do. After, of course, you | | thrash his behind again. Watch out, though! He's a lot tougher than when ya| | met him in Cerulean. The levels aren't too much higher, but he evolved 3/4 | | of his freaking team... Meaning his team is about one and a half times as | | effective as before. Still, he shouldn't be too much trouble after all the | | trainers you've fought on Route 11 and this ship; your levels should be | | getting pretty high at this point, high 20's to early 30's. | | | | TRADEMARKS: Bad French accent, rubber duckie. | | | | LIKES: Kate Winslet, the nude scenes in Titanic. | | DISLIKES: Leonardo di Caprio, everything else about Titanic. (Can you blame| | him? Really?) | | | | QUOTE: "Looks like you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory..." | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With GARY out of the way, go up the stairs and talk to the captain (the white thing in front of the blue trashcan that you should NOT EXAMINE. ><;) He's seasick, apparently, (o_O;) but you can give him a backrub (O_O;) to make him feel better. (X_x;) As gratitude, he'll give you HM01, CUT! HM moves generally suck, and CUT is no exception - teach it to a pokemon that's worthless in battle, like Farfetch'D, and just cart them around to cut stuff down for ya. You can leave the ship now; say goodbye to the S.S. Anne - it'll be departing now that the Captain's ready to leave. You WILL be back in Vermillion Harbor for something later, though... Much later. I think it's about time for the Gym, don't you? ______________________________ |Part 3: SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS!| - Vermillion City through Game Corner ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ____________________________ |VERMILLION CITY POKEMON GYM:| | AN ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCE | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The LEADER here has three subordinates, but they're not what you have to worry about - it's getting to the LEADER! Lt. SURGE is extremely paranoid about trainers being able to beat him, so he's locked himself into his private arena. There are floor switches hidden underneath the trashcans and you have to unlock two in a row. The position of one is entirely random; the second is always within one space of the first. After you unlock one, I suggest you save, then try to unlock the second. Keep trying, where it shows up will be completely different each time you restart the puzzle or restart the game; but once you've unlocked the door, it *stays* unlocked, so don't worry about that. I suggest you take out all three subbies before you go switch hunting. just to lessen your stress. It's possible to unlock the gates and get to Lt. SURGE without fighting any of them, but it's not worth the stress. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ |TRAINER DATA: Sailor |TRAINER DATA: Engineer | |Pokemon: Pikachu, Lv 21: 369 EXP |Pokemon: Voltorb, Lv 21: 463 EXP | | Pikachu, Lv 21: 369 EXP | Magnemite, Lv 21: 400 EXP | |Rewards: $672 |Rewards: $1008 | |--------------------------------------|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ |TRAINER DATA: Gentleman | |Pokemon: Pikachu, Lv 23: 403 EXP | |Rewards: $1656 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Once you've taken down the electrical barrier, step through to face Lt. SURGE! _________________________________ /RAP SHEET: \ / Lt. SURGE: The Lightning American!\________________________________________ | | | CLASS: Trainer STRATEGY: Paralyze opponents and rip through them | | with attacks that few resist. | | | | TYPE: LEADER REWARDS: $2400, THUNDERBADGE, TM34 | | POKEMON: 3 Voltorb, Level 21 (463 EXP) | | Pikachu, Level 18 (315 EXP) | | Raichu, Level 24 (627 EXP) | | | | CLASSIFIED DATA: Lt. SURGE looks impressive, but he's quite possibly the | | least dangerous of the GYM LEADERS. His levels are barely above MISTY'S | | and his new TM isn't particularly impressive when weighed against his first| | TM: THUNDERBOLT. A single Ground or Rock/Ground pokemon can and will smoke | | this leader, but even Water-type teams stand a good chance against SURGE. | | His pokemon choices all do poorly on defense, and he hasn't given them much| | on offense except for Raichu. The hard part about SURGE is getting to the | | nutjob - not fighting him. | | | | TRADEMARKS: Wears camo gear 24/7, definitely wound up too tight. | | | | LIKES: War films, G.I. Joe, Pro Wrestling | | DISLIKES: Ballets | | | | QUOTE: "Baby, you *ain't* no baby, I'll give ya that." | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After you beat SURGE, you'll get TM34 - SHOCK WAVE, a moderate strength Electric attack which never misses unless the opponent is FLYing, Ground-typed, or DIGging. I'd advise saving it for later, since the only electric pokemon you can have at this point - Pikachu - naturally gets THUNDERBOLT, a superior move. ============================== 11.
