---------------------------INTRODUCTION/HISTORY----------------------------
Version 1.0: The first e-mail I get about this FAQ will probably be "Why did you
write this piece of junk?!". Well, sometimes you need to put your own $0.02 in
for something, and in this case, it's Pokemon. BTW, this is my first FAQ
written in my new FAQ format. Tell me what you think. Another thing, don't
look for the accented E's here. They are a waste of time. There are many
incomplete sections here, this being the first version and all. The next
version will be more complete, I promise.
-----------------------------------STORY-----------------------------------
You assume the role of a 10 year old named Ash, from Pallet Town, attempting to
become the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world. Aided by a Pokemon expert,
Prof. Oak, he travels around the world in search of the 150+ monsters. Along
the way, he will do battle with his rival Gary Oak, the 8 Pokemon Gym Leaders, a
mysterious group of Pokemon thieves called Team Rocket, and the Elite Four
members of the Pokemon League.

------------------------------------FAQ------------------------------------
How do I get all three starters?
This question is asked a lot. If you can't get access to a Link Cable, pick
Bulbasaur. If you do have the goods, follow these steps:
1. Have one person start a new game, and the other have about 4-5 junky Pokemon
that can be lost.
2. Have him/her choose Bulbasaur.
3. After getting the Pokedex from Oak, go to Viridian City and trade the
Bulbasaur for a junky Pokemon.
4. Now, have that person start a new game, and follow the same steps for
Bulbasaur again.
5. Follow the steps until the person with the junky Pokemon has two of each
starter, except one of them, which will be the one the person that's starting
new games will pick.
6. After that, have the person with the doubles of starters trade the other
person the other two starters.
What's the difference between the Red and Blue versions?
Both games are basically the same, except the rarity of some Pokemon is changed
and some Pokemon you can't catch at all. Here's a list of Pokemon exclusive to
each version, and their counterparts:
Red: Blue:
Ekans Sandshrew
Arbok Sandslash
Mankey Meowth
Primeape Persian
Oddish Bellsprout
Gloom Weepinbell
Vileplume Victreebel
Growlithe Vulpix
Arcanine Ninetales
Scyther Pinsir
Electabuzz Magmar
Why won't my Pokemon evolve? It's at L100 and it hasn't evovled yet.
Not all Pokemon evolve from levels. In some cases, you will need to use an
elemental stone or even trade to another cartridge. Some Pokemon don't even
evolve.
How do I raise weak Pokemon, especially if they don't have any offensive
attacks?
This question is mainly referring to Abra and Magikarp. You can't battle with
them, because they have no offensive attacks (although Magikarp learns Tackle at
L15), so here'e what you do:
1. Put the weak Pokemon in front of the party, when you're ready to battle a
trainer.
2. As soon as the battle starts, replace the weak Pokemon with your strong
Pokemon.
3. When you defeat one of the trainer's Pokemon, the weak Pokemon will gain 1/2
of the experience.
4. When asked to change Pokemon, say yes, then change Pokemon.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until the battle is over.
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 each time you battle a trainer.
7. You'll have a Kadabra/Gyarados in no time!
--------------------------------WALKTHROUGH--------------------------------
After you start a new game and have set the names of you and your rival, you'll
appear in...
PALLET TOWN
Upon starting in Pallet Town, you will be in your bedroom. Go to your PC, and
select Withdraw Item. Select Potion, take it out, then go downstairs and
outside. The only way you can go for now is north, so head up towards Route 1.
Prof. Oak will then stop you, then take you into his lab. He will then give you
a choice on which Pokemon you wish to start out with. If you want the best
Pokemon for the beginning of the game, pick Bulbasaur. If you want the best
overall Pokemon, pick Squirtle. If you want a challenge, pick Charmander. Upon
choosing your Pokemon, Gary will choose his, obviously picking the one with the
elemental advantage. As you try to walk out, Gary will challenge you...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Gary
POKEMON:
L5 Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle
How does the game determine which Pokemon Gary picks? He will ALWAYS pick the
Pokemon with the elemental advantage over yours. Since neither Pokemon will
have any elemental attacks until at least L8, you won't need to worry here.
Basically, just keep using Scratch/Tackle. Whenever your Pokemon goes below 5
HP, use the Potion to heal it. If you beat Gary, your Pokemon will advance to
L6, and you'll get some money.
***************************************************************************
After battling Gary, it's time to FINALLY head north to...
ROUTE 1
Wild Pokemon:
#016 Pidgey
#019 Rattata
Items:
Potion
Have your Pokemon healed fully before you enter Route 1. The Pokemon you will
face are at Levels 2-4, so you shouldn't have much of a problem getting by them.
Now would be a good time to begin raising your Pokemon's levels, as you will be
needing it soon. Other than that, talk to the guy near the sign for a Potion,
then go north to...
VIRIDIAN CITY
Items:
Oak's Parcel
The first major town, you can't do a lot here. The passage north to Route 2 is
blocked, the gum is closed, Route 22 to the west leads to Gary, and you still
don't have a Pokedex. So, go to the Pokemon Center if your Pokemon needs to be
healed, then go to the Pokemon Mart. The clerk there will give you Oak's
Parcel. Now, go south to...
ROUTE 1
Just keep going south to...
PALLET TOWN
Items:
Pokedex
Town Map
Now that you have Oak's Parcel, go to Prof. Oak's lab. Walk up and give him the
parcel. Then Gary will walk in. Oak will then tell you about his dream to have
a catalog of all the Pokemon in the world. He will give you the Pokedex, then
you can go, when he's done. Before leaving, go into Gary's house and talk to
his sister to get a Town Map. Now, head north, again, to...
ROUTE 1
Since you STILL can't catch Pokemon, just go north to...
VIRIDIAN CITY
First thing, go into the Pokemon Center and buy some Poke Balls (finally!).
Now, if you need to, go south to Route 1 to catch a Pidgey or Rattata, or you
can just wait until Route 2. This next area is optional, but if you want, go
to...
ROUTE 22
Wild Pokemon:
#019 Rattata
#021 Spearow
#029 Nidoran F
#032 Nidoran M
Go west to the grass patch to find some Nidoran and maybe a Spearow. If your
Pokemon is at a high enough level, go up past the patch, then west to run
into...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Gary
POKEMON:
L9 Pidgey
L8 Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle
If you're having problems trying to beat Gary, you're better off trying to catch
a Pikachu and build it up to try to beat Pidgey (and maybe Squirtle if you
picked Charmander). If you don't do that, just use your strongest Pokemon
(possibly your starter at L10 or so) and his Pokemon should go down in three or
four hits each.
***************************************************************************
After you've beaten Gary, and you've gotten all the Pokemon you can, go back
east to...
VIRIDIAN CITY
If you still have money left, buy about 2-4 Antidotes, then you should go north
to...
ROUTE 2
Wild Pokemon:
#010 Caterpie (Blue)
#013 Weedle (Red)
#016 Pidgey
#019 Rattata
Don't worry about finding a Caterpie/Weedle in the grass patch just before the
building to Viridian Forest. They're abundant in the forest. If you haven't
already caught a Pidgey or Rattata, catch one here, then go north, through the
house, to...
VIRIDIAN FOREST
Wild Pokemon:
#010 Caterpie
#011 Metapod
#013 Weedle
#014 Kakuna
#025 Pikachu
Items:
Poke Ball
Antidote
Potion
This is the first area you'll meet the nasty rival trainers that will pester you
until you get through Victory Road. They're all Bug Catchers, so have a L9 or
so Charmander/Spearow to get rid of them, plus a lower level one to weaken the
Pokemon to catch them. You're better off catching a Caterpie/Weedle rather than
Metapod/Kakuna, because all that wild Metapod/Kakuna know are Harden. One more
thing, no matter how long it takes, CATCH A PIKACHU! They are worth it, and
they are the best electric Pokemon until you run into Jolteon or evolve it into
Raichu, so catch one NOW. You'll regret not catching it later. After defeating
the last trainer, go through the next building to get to...
ROUTE 2
Since you already have all the Pokemon from earlier (hopefully), just go in to
the grass and get your Bulbasaur/Squirtle to about L13 or your Charmander to L17
(so he evolves) for the next challenge, inside...
PEWTER CITY
You can't go east to Route 3 until you beat the local gym leader, so go into the
Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon, go buy some Potions, then enter the local
gym...
===========================================================================
PEWTER CITY: POKEMON GYM
Upon entering the local gym, go up and inspect the statues. They will say that
Gary already won. Man, he's fast. Oh, well. Walk up until you see the Jr.
Trainer. If you want to avoid battling, walk behind him. If you want to
battle, just walk up in front of him. He will field ground-type Pokemon. Your
best bet is to use Grass/Water attacks, or high-level Fire attacks. He'll go
down very easily. Now, walk up and talk to the trainer at the back of the gym
to go into battle...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Brock
POKEMON:
L12 Geodude
L14 Onix
You're probably used to battling weak types like Normal, Flying, Bug, and
Poison. That will not come in handy here. Brock will field two Rock/Ground
types. As you will learn, Water and Grass attacks are super effective against
BOTH, so Bulbasaur (with Vine Whip) and Squirtle (with Bubble/Water Gun) will be
a BIG help here. Fire does diddly squat, so Charmander will make this a real
challenge. Don't think about using your others, because their attacks will also
do squat. If you have a Butterfree, try using Confusion until they go away. If
you do manage to get rid of his Rock types, you'll get the Boulder Badge and TM
34, which will teach Bide to one of your Pokemon.
***************************************************************************
===========================================================================
After eroding Brock's Pokemon, go to the Pokemon Center, them buy some potions
at the mart, then go to...
ROUTE 3
Wild Pokemon:
#016 Pidgey
#021 Spearow
#039 Jigglypuff
After defeating Brock, you probably need a break from battling trainers. Too
bad Route 3 has a whole load of them. Eight, to be exact. At this point, your
starter should be at least to L14. Have a Pikachu handy also, as some of the
trainers have Pidgeys. Use your Spearow against any Bug types that are brought
out. The last trainer has a Jigglypuff, which is capable of putting your
Pokemon to sleep, so have some Awakenings available. The only new Pokemon to
catch is Jigglypuff. Bring a few Poke Balls if you wish to catch her. Bring
some for Mt. Moon, also. Once you reach Mt. Moon, go into the Pokemon Center.
Heal, then talk to the man near the right side of the center. He will offer to
give you a Magikarp for $500. BUY IT! Sure, you can catch a free one later,
but it'll evolve before you have the chance to fish for it! See the FAQ section
on how to raise it, because it learns no offensive attacks until L15, and it's
at L5. Anyways, have your strongest Pokemon at around L16, and start raising
your Pikachu very well. Now you are ready to enter...
MT. MOON
Wild Pokemon:
#035 Clefairy
#041 Zubat
#046 Paras
#074 Geodude
Items:
Potion (x2)
TM 12
Rare Candy
Escape Rope
Moon Stone (x2)
TM 01
Ether
HP Up
This is basically a three level series of caverns. It's more like a maze of
ladders. This area has around 10 trainers, 4 of them being from the infamous
Team Rocket, a gang of Pokemon thieves bent on world domination. You will find
their base soon, but just get rid of them for now. Catch all four species of
Pokmon here, because you may not get another chance for a while. Here's the
walkthrough:
After entering, go up to the sign, then go left. Defeat the trainer, then pick
up the Potion and TM 12 (Water Gun). Now, go back right, defeat the trainer,
then go right and up. Go down the first ladder you run into, then follow the
path to the next ladder. Defeat the Rocket member, then go right and pick up
the HP Up. Now work your way back to the main level and go down. Defeat the
trainer, then pick up the Potion. If you wish to, go right and defeat that
trainer. Anyways, go to the right wall and pick up the Rare Candy and Escape
Rope. Personally, I say use it on your Magikarp, if you have it. Otherwise,
just use it on whoever you want. Go up to the top, then go left. Defeat the
trainer if you want to, then keep going left, then down, then down the ladder.
Go left to the next ladder. Defeat the Rocket member, then pick up TM 01 (Mega
Punch). Also, inspect the rock to the right for an Ether. Work your way back
to the main level again, then go down. Defeat the trainer, then go left to the
left wall, then go up. You'll find a Moon Stone at the top. Defeat the trainer
near the ladder if you wish, then go down the ladder. Follow the path to the
next ladder. Go down it, then go up, then right, then down the steps to the
Rocket member. He has a L16 Raticate that knows Hyper Fang, so beware.
Anyways, continue along the path until you reach another Rocket member. After
deleting him, keep going up. Before battling the Super Nerd, go into the small
alcove up and to the right of the Rocket member. Inspect the far end of it for
a Moon Stone. Now, defeat the Super Nerd. He'll let you choose a fossil. Take
the Dome Fossil (left) for Kabuto, or the Helix Fossil (right) for Omanyte.
Store it in the PC first chance you get, because you won't need it until you get
to Cinnabar Island. After picking it, go up, left, and down to the ladder, then
go right to reach the exit, leading to...
ROUTE 4
Wild Pokemon:
#019 Rattata
#021 Spearow
#023 Ekans (Red)
#027 Sandshrew (Blue)
Items:
TM 04
There is not much to do here. Just go right, then up to the item, which is TM
04 (Whirlwind). After jumping over the ledge to the grass patch, going back is
impossible. While you're in the grass, catch an Ekans or Sandshrew, depending
on the version you have, build your starter/Pikachu to around L20, then go
into...
CERULEAN CITY
Again, you can't advance until you beat the local gym leader, so go to the
Pokemon Center to heal, stock up on Potions, and have either your Ivysaur, if
you chose him, and/or your Pikachu up to at least L20. If you have a Wartortle
instead, try teaching it Mega Punch or Bide. Now, enter the gym...
===========================================================================
CERULEAN CITY: POKEMON GYM
You will have to battle two trainers before you get to Misty. They will bring
out a total of three Water type Pokemon. If you have an
Ivysaur/Pikachu/Wartortle, only if it knows Mega Punch or Bide, you should have
no problem. Watch out for the second trainer's Goldeen, because its Peck move
will hurt Ivysaur pretty badly, because it's a Flying attack. After disposing
of the two trainers, talk to Misty to fight...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Misty
POKEMON:
L18 Staryu
L21 Starmie
This time, it doesn't really matter who you picked, as long as you have a high
level Pikachu (L20+). Just use his Thundershock move until he dies. If he
does, bring out your Ivysaur/Wartortle. Charmeleon won't do anything, unless
it's at L30+ because a Bubblebeam will take him out. With Ivysaur, use Vine
Whip (or Razor Leaf if it reached L30), and with Wartortle, use Tackle or Mega
Punch/Bide, if you taught it to him. If your Pikachu AND your starter die, have
a L18+ backup (preferably Butterfree, Beedrill, or even Paras) with you. For
winning, you'll recieve the Cascade Badge and TM 11, which teaches Bubblebeam,
which I recommend you teach to Wartortle or Gyarados, or wait until you get your
own Starmie.
***************************************************************************
===========================================================================
After defeating Misty, go north to...
ROUTES 24-25
Wild Pokemon:
#010 Caterpie
#011 Metapod
#013 Weedle
#014 Kakuna
#016 Pidgey
#043 Oddish (Red)
#063 Abra
#069 Bellsprout (Blue)
Items:
Nugget
TM 45
TM 19
Before you even set foot on Nugget Bridge, Gary will walk up and challenge
you...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Gary
POKEMON:
L18 Pidgeotto
L15 Abra
L15 Rattata
L17 Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle
Since your Pokemon are already at a high level after beating Misty, this
shouldn't be a problem. For his Pidgeotto, use Thundershock, courtesy of your
Pikachu. Like all Abras, all his can do is Teleport, so use a low-level Pokemon
you need to raise. Just use anything on his Rattata, and for his starter, use
anything on Bulbasaur, Gyarados (if you have one) on Charmander, and Pikachu on
Squirtle.
***************************************************************************
After defeating Gary, you'll stumble across Nugget Bridge. There are five
trainers here, with Pokemon ranging from L14-18. After defeating the five, the
last guy will give you a Nugget. Since he's a Rocket member, looks like you'll
have to beat him. He only has two Pokemon, so it won't be a problem. After
that, go west, beat the trainer, and look in the grass for an Oddish/Bellsprout
and an Abra. When you find an Abra, throw a Poke Ball right away. It doesn't
work always, but you can catch him before he gets the chance to teleport. Use
the trick from earlier to raise him up to L16. Go north of this patch to find
TM 45 (Thunder Wave). Now, proceed right through yet another long line of
trainers. To get the item behind the trainer, either make him walk out far
enough to get in, or come back with the Cut ability. The item is TM 19 (Seismic
Toss). Anyways, after making it past the last trainer, enter the...
SEA COTTAGE
Items:
S.S. Ticket
Apparently Bill made a mistake with his machine, so help him to return back to
his normal form. After he's back to normal, talk to him again to recieve the
S.S. Ticket, giving you access to the S.S. Anne in Vermilion City. Before going
back, leave, then come back in. Get on his computer and get some pictures for
Eevee, Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon. Now, you need to take...
ROUTES 24-25
...all the way back to...
CERULEAN CITY
Items:
TM 28
Now that you're back in Cerulean, go into the house that was once blocked by the
police officer. Go through to the back entrance. Defeat the Rocket member out
back for TM 28 (Dig). If you have a Geodude, he's the best candidate for this,
unless you wish to save it for later. Now, proceed down and out of the city
to...
ROUTE 5
Wild Pokemon:
#016 Pidgey
#043 Oddish (Red)
#052 Meowth (Blue)
#056 Mankey (Red)
#069 Bellsprout (Blue)
Route 5 is home to the famous Pokemon Daycare, where you can leave one of your
Pokemon behind to gain experience points. For every step Ash takes, the
deposited Pokemon gains one experience point. If you have any weak Pokemon you
wish to raise, dump him in here, because you'll be coming back anyways. The
risk is he won't evolve at the right time and the attacks he learns are chosen
by the game. Anyways, you can't go to Saffron City to the south yet, so take
the Underground Path under Saffron to...
ROUTE 6
Wild Pokemon:
#016 Pidgey
#043 Oddish (Red)
#052 Meowth (Blue)
#056 Mankey (Red)
#069 Bellsprout (Blue)
Following the outlined path between the grass patches, you will encounter 6
trainers, one having a L20 Butterfree. Just defeat them all, then go south to
reach...
VERMILION CITY
Items:
Old Rod
Bike Voucher
Famous for the luxury cruise ships that dock at the harbor, Vermilion City is
your next stop. You can't enter the gym yet, so explore the city. Go into the
house right above the gym and talk to the guy in the back. If you let him tell
you about his Rapidash, he'll give you a Bike Voucher. Go into the house next
to the Pokemon Center and talk to the man for the Old Rod. I suggest not taking
it, simply because you can only catch Magikarp with it, and you probably already
have a Gyarados. Now, take Routes 5-6 back up to...
CERULEAN CITY
Items:
Bicycle
Now that you're back, go back up, and jump over the ledge just right of the gym.
Go into the building in the lower-left corner of town. Go inside and talk to
the clerk behind the counter to get a Bicycle (provided you still have the
Voucher). Now, yet again, take Routes 5-6 to...
VERMILION CITY
Pokemon to Trade For:
#083 Farfetch'd
Before going aboard the S.S. Anne, go into the house next to where you got the
Bike Voucher. The person inside will give you a Farfech'd for a Spearow. This
is the only place to get a Farfech'd, so I suggest you trade. Remember, you
must have Spearow in your party to trade. Now, go east, and travel down the
dock. If you have the S.S. Ticket, the guy at the end will let you pass. Go
down to enter the...
S.S. ANNE
Items:
TM 08 (Body Slam)
Ether
Max Potion
TM 44 (Rest)
Great Ball
Rare Candy
Max Ether
HM 01
This famous cruise ship, known as the S.S. Anne, is on its annual Pokemon
Cruise. That means you'll find trainers all over the place. Actually, there is
only one trainer you MUST defeat, unfortunately it's Gary. Before you go lay
the smack down on him again, explore each floor and room to find trainers and
items. Most of them have water Pokemon, so bring out your Ivysaur/Pikachu.
Some of the trainers also have Growlithes, so use your
Geodude/Wartortle/Gyarados. After you're done searching every room, and every
crevice (find the Great Ball in the kitchen, lowest trash can), go to the first
floor, up the staricase in the upper-left corner, then go down, and all the way
right to find...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Gary
POKEMON:
L19 Pidgeotto
L16 Raticate
L18 Kadabra
L20 Ivysaur/Charmeleon/Wartortle
Looks like his Pokemon haven't advanced that far since the last match. For
Pidgeotto, use Pikachu (gee, what a surpirse). Use your strongest to take down
Raticate and Kadabra, and for his starter, use anything on Ivysaur, Gyarados on
Charmeleon, and Pikachu on Wartortle. This should be over pretty quickly.
***************************************************************************
After laying the smack down on Gary, go into the room behind him and talk to the
captain. After rubbing his back, he'll give you HM 01, which teaches Cut.
Teach it to your Ivysaur/Charmeleon/somebody that's compatible with it. Make
sure you've gotten everything, then leave the ship. It will sail away. You'll
end up back in...
VERMILION CITY
You have Cut, but don't go into the Gym yet. Go east, and into the cave to find
a Diglett/Dugtrio (more on that later), put it at the front of the line, THEN
come back and cut the bush leading to the entrance of the gym...
===========================================================================
VERMILION CITY: POKEMON GYM
The three trainers before Lt. Surge are all dedicated to electric-type Pokemon.
Be prepared to battle Pikachus, Magnemites, and Voltorbs. If you have a
Diglett/Dugtrio at L19 so it knows Dig, or a Geodude equipped with TM 28 (Dig),
you should have no problem. Now you're asking yourself "How do I get by the
door to Lt. Surge?". After defeating the trainers, they'll reveal the puzzle.
To open the door, you must find two randomly placed locks inside the cans. Look
around every one until you find a lock. Then try looking in the can TO THE
RIGHT of it. More often than not, it'll be there. If you find one switch, and
the next can doesn't have another one, the puzzle resets. If you find both
locks, the door will open, leading to Lt. Surge...
***************************************************************************
TRAINER: Lt. Surge
POKEMON:
L21 Voltorb
L18 Pikachu
L24 Raichu
Again, it doesn't matter who you picked, as long as you have a Diglett/Dugtrio
or Geodude with Dig. If you don't, this will be a long battle. If you have a
Wartortle/Gyarados, don't even think about it. Charmeleon doesn't have any
advantage or disadvantage. If you have Ivysaur, he's good to use because he can
defend against Electric attacks, but can still only do normal damage. The first
two will be no problem, but Raichu will be. If you're using a L18 or below non-
Ground/Grass type, or even a L16 or below Grass type, then they will get the
smack down layed on them if Raichu uses Thunderbolt. A Ground-type, stated
before, would've made this whole description unneeded. But, some people just
don't listen. For beating Lt. Surge, you'll get the Thunder Badge and TM 24,
which gives a lucky Electric type (preferably Pikachu, or wait for a
Jolteon/Zapdos) the ability Thunderbolt. For a joke, you could teach it to
Gyarados, but why waste it?
===========================================================================
After short-circuiting his Pokemon, it's time to continue. Go east of Vermilion
and into the cave...
DIGLETT'S CAVE
Wild Pokemon:
#050 Diglett
#051 Dugtrio
If you followed my advice for Lt. Surge, you've probably already caught a
Diglett/Dugtrio from here. If you haven't, catch one now. If you have, just go
through the cave to end up all the way back at...
ROUTE 2
Pokemon to Trade For:
#122 Mr. Mime
Items:
Moon Stone
HP Up
HM 05
Remember the eastern half of Route 2 you couldn't access? Here it is. First,
go all the way down, past the buildings, to find the Moon Stone and an HP Up.
Now, reenter the larger building. If you've caught 10 kinds of Pokemon, the
Prof. Oak's Aide will give you HM 05, which teaches Flash. Save it until you
get to Route 9. Go into the smaller building, where a person will give you a
Mr. Mime for an Abra. You can always come back if you don't have an Abra. Now,
you need to get back to Cerulean City. You can either take Diglett's Cave back
to Vermilion, then go north, of go north to Pewter, then east through Mt. Moon.
Either way is good, but stop at Pewter first...
PEWTER CITY
Items:
Old Amber
You probably noticed the other entrance to the Museum. You probably also
noticed the bush blocking the way to it. Use your new Cut ability to go by it
and enter the door. Talk to the scientist next to the display in the back to
get the Old Amber. Go to the Pokemon Center and deposit it in the PC, because
you don't need it until you get to Cinnabar Island. Now, however you do it, go
back to...
CERULEAN CITY
Remember the bush blocking the eastern passage out of Cerulean City. Cut it
donw to gain access to...
ROUTE 9
Wild Pokemon:
#019 Rattata
#021 Spearow
#023 Ekans (Red)
#027 Sandshrew (Blue)
#100 Voltorb
Items:
TM 30
Have at least 3-5 Poke Balls on hand for Route 9 and the Rock Tunnel. If you
catch a Voltorb, teach it Flash, because you won't need it after Rock Tunnel.
There are 10 trainers leading up to Rock Tunnel. One of them has 2 Beedrills,
so watch out. Don't forget to pick up TM 30 (Teleport). Upon reaching the
Pokemon Center, withdraw your new Voltorb, teach it Flash, have a couple Pokemon
around L22 or so, then enter the...
ROCK TUNNEL

Now, more ability lists. This time, I will list when each Pokemon learns an
ability. Each chart will contain the first form Pokemon, and include all of its
evolutions and when they learn abilities. Thanks to Nintendo Power's Player's
Guide for this info. Blank spots mean that Pokemon doesn't learn that ability.
Dotted spots mean that Pokemon already had a chance to learn it or knows it
already. I also had to edit the info here a little bit, to make sure confusion
is at the minimum.
