=======================
(1) Getting Hard to Find Pokemon
Chansey - Level 1
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb
Difficulty: *
Chansey is easy to find. When you see the Eevee chasing the
large pink puff, hit the puff with a stun bomb. It will
open up and Chansey will be inside. TIP-Play the Poke-flute
to get extra points from Chansey.
Scyther - Level 1
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb
Difficulty: *
When you see the Meowth chasing a Pidgey out of a
heap of tall grass, begin throwing stun bombs into
the tall grass. If you get lucky, a Scyther will jump out.
Zapdos - Level 2
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples, Poke-flute
Difficulty: **
In the room with the egg and the Pikachu, lure the
Pikachu to the egg with apples. When the Pikachu is
close to it, play the Poke-flute. Pikachu will get
excited and start zapping everything around it, the
egg will hatch and Zapdos will fly out.
Magnemite - Level 2
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples
Difficulty: *
Magnemite is easy to see, but every time you try
to take a picture, it sends light waves to the camera
and it darkens your picture. It doesn't even count
as a Magnemite. If you toss an apple close to it,
it begins to eat it, take a picture. It is too
busy eating to notice.
Magneton - Level 2 - ChocCW@aol.com
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples
Difficulty: **
When you see the three Magnemites, lure them all
together with apples. They will join up and
evolve into Magneton.
Charizard - Level 3
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples or Stun Bombs
Difficulty: *
At the end of the level, when you see a Charmeleon
circling around a pool of lava, knock it in
with an apple or stun bomb. It falls in and evolves.
Moltres - Level 3
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples or Stun Bombs
Difficulty: *
When an egg is blocking your path, hit it with an
apple or stun bomb. It will fall into the
lava and hatch. Moltres will fly out.
Growlithe/Arcanine - Level 3
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs
Difficulty: **
Near the end of the level, look to the right.
You will see three mini-volcanoes. Toss a stun bomb
into each of them and either an Arcanine or Growlithe
will pop out. It seems that it is random which one
will come out. Can anyone tell me a sure way to get just
Arcanines or Growlithes?
Vileplume - Level 4
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute
Difficulty: *
When you see a red plant thing giving off smoke on
the right side, play the Poke-flute.
Vileplume will jump up and dance.
Slowbro - Level 4
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Apples
Difficulty: **
When you see a Slowpoke on the left side of the shore,
lure it to the big dirt patch near the Shellder sign.
Slowpoke will turn around and put its tail in the
water. A Shellder will bite it and Slowpoke will
evolve into Slowbro.
Porygon - Level 4
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb
Difficulty: **
On the right side of the level, near the end, on the
walls, you might see a little thing on the walls go
up and down. Hit it with a stun bomb and you will
find that it is a Porygon. Hit it again to take
off its camoflauge.
Victreebell - Level 5
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb or Apples
Difficulty: *
When you see a Weepinbell walking around a pool of water
in the Caverns, hit it with an apple or stun bomb so it
falls in. It will evolve into Victreebell.
Ditto - Level 5
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bomb
Difficulty: *
When you see all of those Bulbasaurs in the beginning of
the level, hit them with a stun bomb and they will change
back to their original form--Ditto.
Articuno - Level 5
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute
Difficulty: *
Near the end of the level you will find two Jynxes looking
at a metal-looking egg. Get near the egg and play the
Poke-flute. It will hatch, and Articuno will fly around.
Golem - Level 6
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Poke-flute
Difficulty: *
Golems aren't hard to find, but you can never get a
good picture of them,they're always on the walls. When
you get to the part where you see three of them in a
triagle on the left wall, play the Poke-flute to get
them to dance for you.
Goldeen - Level 6
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs
Difficulty: *
Goldeen can be found by throwing stun bombs into the river you are
traveling in, just keep throwing until one jumps up.
Starmie - Level 6
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: None
Difficulty: *
When you see the Staryus coming up out of the water and looking
at you, take a picture of one and it will circle around you.
Let it do that until you get to the whirlpool. It will
be sucked in and evolve into Starmie.
Gyarados - Level 6
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs
Difficulty: ***
This one's tricky. In the beginning of the level, there is a
Magikarp jumping in and out of the water. Hit it onto shore
with a Stun Bomb and the Mankey will hit it far away. Shortly
after that, near the waterfall on the left side of the river,
you will find that same Magikarp flopping around on the land.
Hit it again with a stun bomb and it will flop it's way into the
waterfall and evolve into Gyarados.
Dragonite - Level 6
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs
Difficulty: **
At the whirlpool, throw in 3 or 4 stun bombs. You will know if
you hit the whirlpool because it flashes when hit. If you did
that, a Dragonite will appear.
Mew - Level 7
-----------------------
REQUIREMENTS: Stun Bombs or Apples
Difficulty: **
Mew is the only Pokemon on level 7, but getting a good
picture is a bit tricky. You need to keep hitting its shield
until it breaks and it needs to chase its shield. If you hit
it with a stun bomb or apple while it's chasing it's shield,
it will spin around and look back at you. If you can hit Mew
while close, and it looks at you, you could get up to 9000
points. My best picture of Mew got my 8960.
=======================
(2) Getting to Mew Stage
What you need to do is to take pictures of landforms of things
that look like Pokemon. There is one on every stage except Mew
Stage. After you have pictures of all six, and you've shown
them to Dr. Okido (Professor Oak) then Mew Stage will be unlocked.
Kingler - Level 1
-----------------------
Difficulty: **
Look backwards near the beginning of the stage, just after the
Pikachu. It's kind of on the right. It is a rock formation
with moss growing on it.
Pinsir - Level 2
-----------------------
Difficulty: **
Get Zapdos hatched, and it will power the power plant.
In the next room, a spotlight will be showing on what
looks like some rocks and poles. Take a picture of the
wall the light is shining on. Pinsir!
Koffing - Level 3
-----------------------
Difficulty: ***
At the beginning of the level, where you see the Ponytas
and the Volcano, look at the purple smoke through your
camera. If the camera "locks on" then take a picture.
Kinda looks like Koffing, huh?
Cubone - Level 4
-----------------------
Difficulty: **
Right near the Vileplume is a tree that is Cubone. You can't
take a picture of it because Vileplume's smoke is in the way.
Play the Poke-flute so Vileplume will stop giving off smoke
and begin dancing. Then you can get a clear shot of the
Cubone tree.
Mewtwo - Level 5
-----------------------
Difficulty: *
When you are starting to get close to the end of the level,
look back and you should see some stars inside the caverns
that are sparkling. Take a picture of the biggest one.
It doesn't look like much now, but on film it shows up as Mewtwo.
Dugtrio - Level 6
-----------------------
Difficulty: *
This one's easy. Just take a picture of the Dugtrio
statue at the beginning of the stage.
It's right there in front of you.
