1.2
Jan 2001 – Added more information on Pokemon types and Locations. Added a Frequently Asked Questions section,
and sections on Legendary Beasts, and Evolution.
------------ INTRODUCTION ------------
This game
has a lot of new features, including lots more Pokemon to catch! You can get new "prevolutions" as well, such as Pichu,
by breeding Pokemon. The breeding centre is a new feature too. There are new TMs and HMs, and new items.
Pokemon can be made to hold items so they can use them in battle. Some Pokemon evolve by being traded while holding
an item. And of course, there is a brand new world to explore!!!
Unlike RBY, G&S are not compatible with Pokemon
Stadium. Which means you have to do everything at regular speed! On the other hand, you can trade Pokemon
between RBY and G&S. You just have to remember that you cannot trade anything to RBY that would not otherwise
be in that cartridge. So there is no point in training up a big bad Pokemon with new moves in an effort to kick
ass at Pokemon Stadium, as it will not be allowed to leave G&S.
The beginner Pokemon are new, but like RBY
there is a choice between fire (Cyndaquil), grass (Chikorita), and water (Totodile) Pokemon. They are all on
Level 5. Your Rival steals the one that is strongest against yours.
In G&S, you are able to buy things from
Marts right away, but there is no Mart in New Bark Town, so you have to wait until you get to Cherrygrove.
You'll
notice the SAVE procedure is a bit irritating, I guess it's to stop you accidentally saving if you don't mean to.
You still press start then select save, and it asks you if you would like to save the game. Select yes, and
it tells you "there is already a save file, is it OK to overwrite?" Select yes again, and it says saving –
do not turn off the power. Once that message disappears THEN you have successfully saved and you can turn off the
gameboy.
You can send mail by having a Pokemon hold the letter, and then trading with a friend. It is
even interactive with the Pocket Pikachu. Pocket Pikachu is able to send gifts to you, you just have to go to the
upper floor of any PokeCentre to collect it.
One new feature I really like is using HMs. For all but FLY
or FLASH, if you need to use the HM, point at the thing you need it for (eg look toward water that you want to SURF
across, or a rock you want to move with STRENGTH), and press A. A message comes asking if you want to use the HM,
and you say yes – and it happens! You're SURFing, or you CUT a tree, or use STRENGTH to move a boulder.
Another
fun little feature is the SELECT option. You can register your bicycle, or a fishing rod, to the SELECT button.
You can also register your Item Finder. Then if you want to ride, or fish, or hunt for hidden items, just push
SELECT and you're off. Really saves hunting through your pack!
Collecting Pokemon for your Pokedex is made that
bit easier by the PokeBall logo that appears above the enemy Pokemon's hit points line. If you already have
that kind of Pokemon in your Pokedex, a PokeBall appears. If you do not, the PokeBall is not there!
----------- WALKTHROUGH -----------
When
you first start your game, a voice in the dark asks what time it is. You get to set the time to your current time
– Day (or night?), the hour then the minutes. Then Professor Oak comes and introduces himself, and tells you
a bit about Pokemon. You appear, and get to put in your name. You only get to use seven characters, though,
so a short name (or nickname) is a good idea!
You start off in your bedroom, it has more stuff in it since RBY!
Go downstairs, and your Mum tells you to visit Professor Elm, and gives you your PokeGear. Then she gets you
to set the day of the week, and asks if you are on Daylight Saving Time. If you are, when DST finishes, you can
ask her to change the time to standard time.
Then Mum asks whether you know how to use the phone, if you say no
then she will instruct you.
Professor Elm's lab is next door to your house, on the left. If you talk to the
person staring in the side window of the lab, something funny happens! This shifty character turns out to be your
Rival, he's presumably spying on Professor Elm, waiting for the chance to do dastardly deeds.
Go in to the lab.
Professor Elm wants to you to go to Mr Pokemon's house to check something out. He offers you a pokemon to take with you.
You have the choice of Cyndaquil, a fire Pokemon; Totodile, a water Pokemon, or Chikorita, a grass Pokemon.
I chose Chikorita, Scott went for Cyndaquil.
Professor Elm tells you where Mr Pokemon lives, and gives you his telephone
number in case you need it. As you leave, the Aide gives you a potion.
This is probably a good time to notice
your new look pack. It has four pockets, so you can carry so much more than in RBY. There is a pocket for
healing items like potions and berries, a pocket for special items like your bicycle and various cards and keys, a
pocket for your TMs and HMs (which arrange themselves neatly in number order!) and a pocket for your Balls.
A really
good feature of this game is that you can set items to your select button, so you only have to push it to get an item
you use frequently instead of going through all your items each time. I set my bicycle to select: if you pick
the item you get the option to use or set to select, if you set to select it tells you your item was registered so you
know it worked. This works for your fishing rods too, if you fancy a bit of fishing. It also works for
your Item Finder.
RT 29
Pokemon: Pidgey, Sentret, Rattata, Spearow, Weedle (Silver), Kakuna (Silver)
Aipom (headbutt trees), HootHoot (night)
Items: Potion
Berry Tree: Berry
Head
for Mr Pokemon's house - go west from New Bark Town. There is a gatehouse on the way that leads to the end of RT
46.
RT46
Pokemon: Rattata, Geodude, Spearow
This is actually the bottom of the path down
from Blackthorne City. You'll be able to come back this way later. For now, though, all you can do is explore
the grassy patch for Pokemon.
CHERRYGROVE CITY
Pokemon: Tentacool
Items:
Map of Johto, Mystic Water
When you arrive in Cherrygrove, there is an old guy. If you talk to him, he will
give you a tour of the town, and a map of Johto. (In case you did not realise, that is the name of the world you are in.
The RBY world is Kanto.)
If you go to the bottom left corner of Cherrygrove, you can see a guy standing on a rock.
When you have SURF, come back and SURF over to him to get Mystic Water.
RT 30
Pokemon: Caterpie
(Gold), Metapod (Gold), Weedle (Silver), Kakuna (Silver) Pidgey, Poliwag, Poliwhirl
Items:
Mystery Egg, Pokedex
Berry Trees: Berry, PSNCURE
Heal up at the PokeCentre, then head north out
of town. There is a little house on the way up, the guy inside gives you a berry.
Mr POKEMON'S HOUSE
Mr
Pokemon gives you a Mystery Egg, and Professor Oak gives you a Pokedex. As you leave, Professor Elm rings you –
a disaster has struck and he needs your help! So go back to New Bark.
Leave the egg in your party, so you
can hand it to Professor Elm.
CHERRYGROVE
As you leave, you meet your as yet unnamed Rival. He challenges
you, he has the starter Pokemon that is strongest against yours. If you've been training, this should be no
problem.
PROFESSOR ELM'S LAB
Items: PokeBalls
This is where you get to name your rival, after
talking to Professor Elm. You give the egg to Professor Elm. As you leave, talk to the Aide. He will
give you five PokeBalls.
Go talk to your Mum now, she will give you the option of saving some of your money
for you. This is useful in the event of a whiteout (when you faint because you have run out of useable Pokemon in
a battle). On the other hand, Mum is a shop-a-holic. She buys all sorts of things. If you choose to
have her save money but change your mind later, you can ring her on your mobile to cancel the arrangement, or to get
some cash from her.
Head off again, this time the destination is Violet City. Go through Cherrygrove, and
head north again, but this time you branch off to the left instead of going to Mr Pokemon's house.
RT 31
Pokemon:
Caterpie (Gold), Metapod (Gold), Weedle (Silver), Kakuna (Silver), Ledyba (Morning, Silver), Spinarak (Night, Gold), HootHoot
(Night), Bellsprout, Poliwhirl, Poliwag
Items: Antidote, PokeBall, Dire Hit
Berry
Tree: Bitter Berry
Go past the Dark Cave. You need FLASH and SURF in here, which you don't have yet.
When you get SURF you can also try the pond beyond the Dark Cave. Ponds generally have Poliwags and Poliwhirls,
some have other Pokemon as well.
DARK CAVE
Pokemon: Krabby, Zubat, Shuckle, Geodude, Graveler,
Magikarp, Wobbuffet, Dunsparce (rare)
When you come back, you can explore, and leave via another exit. There
are more trainers out there.
VIOLET CITY
Pokemon: Onix
Items:
Rare Candy
At the bottom left corner of town, there is a house. Inside there is a guy who wants to swap your
Bellsprout for his Onix.
There is a pond, on the far side is a Rare Candy.
BELLSPROUT TOWER
Pokemon:
Gastly (night), Rattata
Items: Paralyz Heal, X Defend, Potion, Escape Rope, HM05
This
is full of trainers with Bellsprouts! Some have HootHoots, too. If you keep beating trainers, you will get
to the Head Sage. Beat him and he will give you HM05 - Flash. Your Rival will be up here too, he talks to
you then buzzes off.
VIOLET GYM
Items: TM31 – Mud Slap
There
are two trainers, then the leader, Falkner. Falkner has:
Level 7 Pidgey, and Level 9 Pidgeotto.
Once you beat
Falkner, he will give you the Zephyr Badge. This will let you use FLASH outside battle, and it raises the attack
power of your Pokemon. He also gives you TM31.
As you leave the gym, Professor Elm gives you a call, and
tells you to see his Aide at the PokeCentre. Make sure you have only five Pokemon on you, and the Aide will
give you back the Egg. Carry the egg, you will get a surprise a bit later on!
RUINS OF ALPH
Pokemon:
Unown, Quagsire, Poliwag, Wooper, Natu, Smeargle
Items: Unown-mode Pokedex
West of Violet
City, you can go through a gatehouse that leads to the Ruins of Alph. There are two caves, go in to the smaller
one at the top. Inside is a puzzle. Move bits by pressing A, then use the direction arrows to move them.
This puzzle is of Kabuto. If you do it correctly, you will fall through the floor, and land in the bigger cave.
If this does not happen, try swapping the two middle, bottom bits. They look practically identical!
When
you land in the big cave, Unowns attack. These Pokemon are vaguely letter shaped. If you catch three, when
you go outside a scientist will meet you and take you to his lab. He modifies your Pokedex to store Unown data.
In the regular Pokedex, you only get a single entry for the Unown. The special Unown data is accessible by opening
the Pokedex, and pressing the Select key to choose Options. One option is Unown Mode. In here, there is a
record of all your Unown. There are 26 altogether.
There are four puzzles, all accessible from different
places. When you have SURF, you can surf the pond to access an Aerodactyl puzzle.
Go to the Union Cave, climb
a ladder about halfway through, to the left, then SURF across the pool. Go to the top left corner and use the exit
to get to the Ho-oh puzzle. You'll drop through to the Unown place again.
Go into the cave again, the same
way, but don't go so far toward the back of the cave. If you use STRENGTH to move a boulder, you can get to the
Omanyte puzzle.
RT 32
Pokemon: Rattata, Hoppip, Mareep, Bellsprout, Wooper (night), Ekans
(Silver)
Items: Miracle Seed, Potion, Great Ball, Old Rod, TM05
Berry Trees:
PRZCURE
You will go past the east entrance to the Ruins of Alph. Keep going south toward Azalea Town.
Speak to the first guy you see on the way, and he will give you Miracle Seed, which increases the power of grass pokemon.
When
you have CUT, you can get to a fat guy below the Ruins. Speak to him and he will give you TM05 – Roar.
There
is a split in the path, you can go over water or land. Either way you meet trainers.
There is a PokeCentre
on the way down, talk to the guy in the hat to get Old Rod.
UNION CAVE
Pokemon: Magikarp, Geodude,
Sandshrew (Gold), Rattata, Zubat, Quagsire, Wooper, Lapras (Fridays)
Items: Potion, Great
Ball, X-Attack, Awakening, TM39, X-Defend
Go through the cave to get all these items. Return on a Friday - there
is a Lapras there on Fridays. You will need SURF to get to it. If you enter the cave from the Azalea City
end, go up, then left, then SURF down, you'll come to a ladder, climb it, then SURF and walk around until you spot Lapras!
It's Level 20, and relatively easy to catch. Might not hurt to SAVE first, though, just in case!
Once
through the cave, you will come to the Slowpoke Well. There is a guy guarding it. Later on you will be able
to get in, but you have to do other things first!
AZALEA TOWN
Items: Charcoal, TM49
(Fury Cutter)
Berry Trees: WHT Apricorn
To the north of Azalea, you will find Kurt's house.
It has a tree outside like a berry tree but it has apricorns on it. Kurt makes balls from apricorns.
Anyway, if you talk to him now, he will take off to rescue the Slowpoke. If you follow him, you can now go down
the well. Fight three Rockets, and Kurt will take you back to his house and give you a lure ball.
Kurt also
explains how he makes balls from apricorns, if you give him the one you picked from his tree he tells you to come back
next day for your ball.
Just inside Azalea Town there is a house, if you talk to a guy inside he will give you
Charcoal, which helps fire Pokemon.
AZALEA GYM
There are four trainers, then you meet Bugsy, the gym leader.
Bugsy has:
L14 Metapod
L16 Scyther; and L14 Kakuna
Once you beat these bugs,
Bugsy gives you Hivebadge, which makes Pokemon up to Level 30 obey you. It also allows you to use CUT outside battle.
He
also gives you TM49 – Fury Cutter.
Sometime while you are in Azalea Town your egg should hatch. Surprise
– it's Togepi! When Togepi hatches, ring Professor Elm, who will ask you to bring it to him. If
you do, he will give you an Everstone. Everstones prevent Pokemon from evolving.
Finally, during your travels
in Azalea Town, you'll meet your rival again. This time he wants to battle, he has:
L12 Gastly L14 Zubat; and
L16 version of the Pokemon he started with.
SLOWPOKE WELL
Pokemon: Zubat, Magikarp, Slowpoke, Slowbro
Items:
Kings Rock, TM18
In the top left corner is a rock you can move with STRENGTH. You go down to a pool, then
SURF. Go onto the land, then climb the ladder. SURF in the big pool. Go left to talk to a guy who will
give you Kings Rock. Go right to find TM18.
ILEX FOREST
Pokemon: Metapod, Caterpie, Oddish,
Paras, Zubat, Pineco (night, trees), Exeggcute (night, trees), Butterfree (Gold, night, trees), Beedrill (Silver, night,
trees), Psyduck, Poliwag, Magikarp
Items: Revive, HM01, TM02, TM12
You'll see a guy
looking for Farfetch'd. Keep going, and you'll see the Farfetch'd. Follow it, and shepherd it back to the
guy who lost it. If you can return it to him, the guy's boss comes and gives you HM01 – Cut. Keep going
through the forest. If you have CUT you can get to the Ilex Forest Shrine, and pick up TM02 – Headbutt.
Headbutt is good, because if you use it to headbutt small trees, sometimes Pokemon drop out.
In your travels in
the Forest, you will see dead ends. Stand facing the dead end, but one space out, and press A. You may get
a nice surprise!
At the gatehouse leaving the Forest, talk to the receptionist, who will give you TM12 –
Sweet Scent.
RT 34
Pokemon: Rattata, Drowzee, Psyduck, Ditto
On the way north to Goldenrod,
you'll come across the Daycare Centre. This centre has two people working there, a man and a woman. This is
where you can leave your Pokemon to be leveled up, it costs $100 per level. You can also leave a male Pokemon
with the man, and a female with the woman – and if the Pokemon are compatible, they may breed!
You
will also meet Officer Keith, he has a Growlithe to battle you.
GOLDENROD
Pokemon: Machop, Eevee,
Abra, Ekans, Dratini
There is a large Department Store here, just like the one in Celadon City in RBY. It
has several storeys plus a basement.
Ground Floor:
Reception
2nd Floor:
Potion PokeBall
Super Potion Great Ball
Antidote Escape Rope
Paralyz Heal Repel
Awakening Revive
Burn Heal Full Heal
Ice Heal Poke Doll
Flower Mail
3rd Floor: X Speed
X Special
X Defend
X Attack
Dire Hit
Guard Spec
X Accuracy
4th Floor:
Protein
Iron
Carbos
Calcium
HP UP
5th Floor: TM41,
TM48, TM33, TM02, TM08
On Sundays, you can get either TM27 or TM21. You get them from the lady behind the counter, she gives you TM27 if
your Pokemon like you, or TM21 if they do not. You can go there more than once, but only once per Sunday.
Also
there is a guy who wants to trade your Drowzee for his Machop.
On the 6th floor there are vending machines that sell
Fresh Water, Lemonade and Soda Pop. These drinks will restore some HP in battle.
To the right of the Mart
is the Bike Shop. You can borrow a bike for free – later on they let you keep it if you use it!
To
the left of the Gym, over the railway tracks, is the Name Rater's house. If you decide you'd like to change a Pokemon's
name you can do it here. Of course, you cannot change a traded Pokemon's name.
Underground Path – there
are two entrances. One is near the Name Rater's house, the other is to the left of the PokeCentre. There are
trainers to beat in here.
About halfway along the Underground Path is the Pokemon Salon. Here you
can have your Pokemon groomed, this increases their happiness. You can only have one haircut per day.
Grooming
is important because some Pokemon like Eevee evolve when they are happy enough. You have no way of knowing how happy
your Pokemon are, but there is a lady in a house to the right of the Mart who will look at the first Pokemon in your
party and tell you how happy it is. If she says your Pokemon likes you a lot it is happy!
The coin case is
also on the Underground Path.
The Games Corner – this has been upgraded, and is no longer the front for Team
Rocket. It still costs $1000 for 50 coins, or you can buy in bulk - $10,000 for 500 coins. There are two types
of machines now, the basic slots, and the card flip game. With the card flip game you have to predict which card
matches the card in the dealer's hand.
There are prizes to be bought, this time you can do that in the same
building. You can buy:
Abra
$200 TM25 $5500
Ekans (Gold) $700 TM14
$5500 Sandshrew (Silver) $700
TM38 $5500 Dratini
$2100
The radio station has been taken over by Team Rocket.
You get to do something about this later in the game. In the meantime, you can pick up your radio card (which
goes in your PokeGear) by correctly answering the questions in a quiz: the answers are yes, yes, no, yes, no. You
can also check to see if you have won in the ID number contest. Every Friday, a new ID number is chosen, if
you, or someone you have traded with, have that number then you win a prize.
Bill's house in on the left side of
town, he comes here after you meet him in Ecruteak. He will give you an Eevee, so remember to have a space for her
when you come back!
GOLDENROD GYM
There are four trainers to beat, then the leader Whitney. Whitney
has:
L18 Clefairy, and
L20 Miltank
Once you win this battle, you will get the PlainBadge. This lets you use STRENGTH outside battle,
and boosts your Pokemon's speed. She also gives you TM45 – Attract.
Go to the house to the right and
up a bit from the Gym, and inside is a girl gardening. Talk to her and she will give you a Squirtbottle. You'll
need this to capture Sudowoodo. On the way out of town, at the north gatehouse, the receptionist asks you whether
you are willing to take a letter to a chubby guy on RT 31. If you agree, you will need a space to put the Spearow
the receptionist gives you. The Spearow has a letter you can read, it says "DARK CAVE leads to another road".
If you deliver the letter, the chubby guy gives you TM50 – Nightmare.
RT 35
Pokemon:
Nidoran male and female, Drowzee, Pidgey, Psyduck
Items: TM04
Berry Tree:
Mysteryberry
NATIONAL PARK
Pokemon: Metapod, Caterpie, Pidgey, Sunkern, Venonat, Butterfree, Paras,
Weedle, Scyther, Pinsir, Beedrill, Kakuna
Items: Quick Claw, Sun Stone, Everstone, Gold
Berry, Berry, TM28, Parlyz Heal
Go to the National Park on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday and you can compete in
the Bug Catching Contest. You can only take one Pokemon into the park with you, the Helper minds your other Pokemon.
He lets you keep the first Pokemon in your lineup, so it is wise to choose in advance who you want to take into the
Park.
You are given 20 Park Balls, and you have 20 minutes to catch the most powerful Pokemon. Each Pokemon
is worth a certain number of points, but you don't find out how much until you leave!
You get to keep the Pokemon
you catch last. If you catch one, but then catch a better one you can swap them over. The first one is basically
released, while you retain the second.
We have had success with different Pokemon, I won with a Level 16 Venonat.
There
are lots of Pokemon, including Scyther, Pinsir, Butterfree, Beedrill and Venonat, as well as Caterpies and Weedles.
(But with attitude! Like, level 13-17!)
Note, the Helper seems to confiscate your backpack too, if you get poisoned
you cannot cure yourself. May be an idea to have your lead Pokemon carry a PSNCUREberry into the Park.
If
you win, you are awarded the Sun Stone. Second prize is an Everstone, and third prize is a Gold Berry. If
you don't place, at least you are awarded a berry!
It is a good plan to SAVE before going in, because then if you
only catch lame Pokemon, or yours is pretty good but did not win, you can reset the game. You can only compete
once per competition day, but you are free to come back next competition day.
Once you have been awarded your prize,
go back into the Park. You'll find you are at the Eastern gatehouse! Inside the Park there are now people
including trainers ready for battle. Talk to a lone girl on a bench, and she will give you Quick Claw, which
helps you to go first in battle.
At the north end of the National park, you'll see a guy who says he is printing
out his Pokedex. If you go through the fence behind him, you can then go around the outer perimeter of the National
Park. Go around to the left to pick up TM28 – Dig. Go to the right and you will find Parlyz Heal.
RT
36
Pokemon: Growlithe (Gold), Vulpix (Silver), Pidgey, Sudowoodo
Items:
Berry Trees: Ice Berry, Black, red and blue Apricorns
If you now leave the Park via the Eastern
gatehouse, you will be able to battle two trainers, then you find your path blocked by an odd tree. SAVE the
game. Bring out the trusty Squirtbottle, and squirt it – it wakes up. It's Sudowoodo, and it attacks.
There is only one Sudowoodo, so if you defeat it, it's gone – hence the advice to save!
We found that Sudowoodo
needs to be REALLY low down on HP to be caught.
After you catch Sudowoodo, see the fat guy off to the right, he will
give you TM08 – Rock Smash. Use this wisely, you'll need it later as you progress in the game.
RT
37
Pokemon: Spinarak (night), Stantler, Growlithe (Gold), Vulpix (Silver), Hoothoot (night)
Items:
Berry
Trees: Red, Blu and Blk Apricorns
Take the left path, then go north. There are three Apricorn trees,
and trainers to beat.
ECRUTEAK
Items: Itemfinder, TM30, HM03
In the PokeCentre,
Bill tells you the time capsule is adjusted, so you can now trade with RBY. The thing to remember here is that you
cannot trade ANYTHING new to RBY games. That means no new Pokemon (eg Meganium), nor any old Pokemon with new
moves (eg Gyarados with Waterfall). I took the opportunity to bring over my L50 Charizard, and taught him (he turned
out to be a boy!) Fire Punch. Scott is more visionary than me, he brought over his L100 Mewtwo…
Bill
heads off back to Goldenrod, if you go to his house with only five Pokemon you can get an Eevee.
In the house beside
the gym, talk to the guy to get an Itemfinder.
ECRUTEAK GYM
There are four trainers, then the leader Morty.
Morty has:
L21 Gastly
L21 Haunter L25 Gengar; and
L23 Haunter
When you beat him, you get the Fog Badge. Pokemon up to Level 50 will now obey you, and you can
use SURF outside battle.
He also gives you TM30 – Shadow Ball.
DANCE THEATRE
The Kimono Girls at
the Dance Theatre each have a different evolution of Eevee – Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Umbreon and Espeon.
If you win, you get HM03 – SURF. Just talk to a guy in the audience for that.
BURNT TOWER
Pokemon:
Rattata, Koffing, Zubat, Magmar (night)
Items: X-Speed, TM20, HP-up, Burn Heal
Your
Rival is there. He wants to battle! He has:
L20 Haunter L20 Zubat
L18 Magnemite; and L22 version of his starting Pokemon.
You
need ROCK SMASH and STRENGTH in here to get to everything. There are holes in the floor to fall through! If
you fall through the hole in the middle, and walk onto the steps of the platform, you release the three legendary
beasts. These beasts wander around the game. If you see one, they tend to nick off. The aim is to catch
them!
TIN TOWER
Pokemon: Rattata, Gastly (night), Ho-oh
Items:
Full Heal, Super Potion, Escape Rope, Ultra Ball, Rare Candy, Max Revive, Max Elixer, Nugget, Full Restore
You
go into what looks like a house to the right of the Burnt Tower. You cannot go in until you have defeated the Ecruteak
Gym Leader. Follow the corridor, and it leads you outdoors. Follow the path, it leads you to the Tin Tower.
There is a guy inside who asks you for the Rainbow Wing, which you don't have yet!
Come back when you have the
Rainbow Wing, and the guy has disappeared! You can go up the tower. At first you have mazes to work your way
through, then there are Teleport pads. It is good to experiment a bit here, that way you get all the items.
However, if you just want to get to Ho-oh, here's the direct route. Oh, and if you don't fancy taking the long way
down, have an escape rope handy!
Enter the tower, go to the stairs at the back of the room. Go up, then come
to the front of that room, and climb the stairs. You'll find the beginning of the maze. There are lots
of one-way jumps, and telepads.
Go right, up, left, up, left, climb the stairs.
Go down, left, up, right, up,
left, climb the stairs.
Now go up, right 2 jumps, down 1 jump, left 2 jumps, down 5 jumps, right 2 jumps, down
1 jump, then climb the stairs.
Go up, right, up, left, down, climb the stairs.
Go up, then walk right, then
take 2 jumps to the right, then down several wide jumps. Go left, down to the telepad, down again to the next telepad,
left, down, left, go through the telepad, up, left, go through the telepad, go round the wobbly thing to the stairs
and hey presto!
You get to the roof: there is Ho-oh.
This is one tough bird to catch! It is pretty fond
of using recover, and it also has a nasty tendency to use Sacred Fire, which often burns, have ice berries handy.
It also has a thing called Safeguard, which seems to prevent status changes – the only good thing about this is
it wears off!
I caught my Ho-oh with a level 41 Haunter as my lead Pokemon. First move, I had Haunter
put Ho-oh to sleep, then I used Dream Eater to lower the HP, then an Ultra Ball caught it. I actually trained the
Haunter for the purpose, as up until then, even getting the Ho-oh down to almost invisible HP, it still refused to
be caught.
RT 38
Pokemon: Rattata (Gold), Raticate, Tauros, Meowth (silver), Farfetch'd, Miltank,
Snubbull
Items: TM13
Berry Trees: Berry, Mint Berry
Go north, you'll
get to MooMoo Farm. In the smaller building, there is a sick Miltank, it wants berries. (Plain ones!)
If you feed it seven berries, it gets better. You don't have to give it seven all at once, you can come back
with more later if you need to. Once it has had seven berries and is better, go into the house next door and the
girl will give you TM13 – Snore.
OLIVINE
Pokemon: Krabby, Voltorb, Chinchou
Items:
Good Rod, HM04
Your Rival comes out of the gym for a bit of a chat, but does not want to battle right now.
The gym itself is empty, as the leader is tending a sick Pokemon in the Lighthouse.
In the little house below the
gym, if you talk to the guy he gives you the Good Rod.
If you smash 3 rocks on the beach, Krabby attacks.
In
the house to the left of the PokeCentre is a guy who will give you HM04 – Strength.
Watch out for the guy
in a house who wants to swap his Voltorb for your Krabby, too.
Once you've been to Kanto, if you go fishing off
the dock where the SS Aqua pulls in, using the Super Rod, you can catch Chinchou.
LIGHTHOUSE
Items:
Rare Candy, TM34, Ether, Great Ball, Super Potion
In the lighthouse, it's trainer central… really good training
ground for your Pokemon! At the top, Jasmine asks you to go to Cianwood to get some medicine to help her sick
Pokemon. As you're such a helpful trainer, of course you'll go!!! Besides, if you don't Jasmine won't go back
to her Gym and you can't get the badge!
RT 41
Pokemon: Tentacool, Tentacruel, Mantine
You'll
need SURF to get to Cianwood. The water is chokkers with Tentacool, and there are trainers. On the way over

fence. You'll see an island to the left, with a whirlpool blocking the entrance at the bottom of the island.
Use WHIRLPOOL to go in. Go into the entrance of the cave. You need FLASH. Follow the path, heading
right. When the path splits, go left toward the top of the screen. Keep going, climb ladders, you will get
to water. SURF down, then go down the waterfall. If you look around carefully you will see a cave entrance,
go in. (It is toward the top of the screen). Now SURF up the pond and there is Lugia. In Gold it is
Level 70, in Silver it is only Level 40. I used my Ampharos and a combination of Thunder Punch and Thunder Shock
to wear it down, then Ultra Balls to capture.
CIANWOOD
Pokemon: Shuckle, Krabby, Kingler, Corsola,
Staryu (night)
Items: Secret Potion, TM01, HM02
Talk to the guy in the house next to
the PokeCentre and he'll give you Shuckle.

Go
fishing with the Super Rod during the day to find Corsola and Kingler, and at night to find Staryu.
There is a
Photographer in the house on the beach, if you have a printer you can have your Pokemon's picture taken!
At the
bottom of the island is the Pharmacy. Here you can get the medicine Jasmine needs. (Secret Potion)
CIANWOOD
GYM
Beat the three trainers, then use STRENGTH to get to the fourth trainer, then Chuck, the leader. Chuck
has:

70 obey you, and you can use FLY outside battle. He also gives you TM01 – Dynamic Punch.

avoid all those Tentacool!

When you leave Ecruteak, you will quickly
see Mt Mortar. You can enter it, or you can SURF across the water. After the first stretch of water, you can go
down a bit (you'll need CUT) and you will find three more Apricorn trees. Go up, and you can enter Mt Mortar, or
SURF again to get to Mahogany.
MT MORTAR stage 1
Pokemon: Zubat, Geodude, Machop, Marill
If you
go into Mt Mortar (you need FLASH), you will be able to catch a Marill on the level you are at when you enter. It
is really rare, you will have to be very patient. Scott caught his during the day. If you talk to Parry on
Route 45, and get his phone number, he will tell you when the Marill are swarming. This will make it easier
to catch one! Keep exploring, you will see water but you cant get to it yet. You will come out near Mahogany.

Go to Mahogany and visit the Poke Centre if you need to. Then go back, and SURF to the left
to get to the middle entrance to Mt Mortar. Go in, you need FLASH, go up the ladder and explore the level you are
on. Pick up items. Then go back down to where you entered, and SURF to the right. Then go up, and
you'll see a waterfall. Use WATERFALL to go up it. Head for the hole at the back of the cave. Go in, and you'll
basically be in a maze. If you go around the right side of the cave, then to the left side when you find your way
blocked by a ledge, then up then to the right, and then up and along the back, you will find a ladder in the back left
corner. Climb the ladder, explore a bit and you will find a trainer!
The Karate King is training in
secret with L34 Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. When you beat him he will give you Tyrogue, on L10.
MAHOGANY
There
is a guy who sells RageCandyBars – they restore HP by 20, and cost $300.
Go to the Lake of Rage, there

Pokemon: Red Gyarados, ordinary Gyarados, Magikarp,
Girafarig, Noctowl, Flaaffy, Venonat, Pineco(trees)
Items: Red Scale, TM43, Max Ether,
TM10
Leave Mahogany via the northern gatehouse. Follow the path, and there is a tollgate, two guys pounce
and charge $1000 to go through! Once you are inside you can't not pay, though. When you go back to Mahogany,
jump the fence!
When you arrive at the Lake, the Red Gyarados is swimming. When you catch it, you also
get Red Scale. (Take the Red Scale to Mr Pokemon, and he will give you EXP SHARE.)
Talk to the guy near the
sign, it's Lance. He wants your help. He takes off, you will see him again when you return to Mahogany.
There's
a house, the guy inside gives you TM10.
Come back this way after the Rockets have been defeated, and the bad guys at
the tollgate have gone. The receptionist gives you TM36.
MAHOGANY
Pokemon:
Items:
Hyper Potion, X-Accuracy, Nugget, Protein, Ice Heal, TM46, Dire Hit, Full Heal, HM06
Go find Lance, he's in the
building above the PokeCentre. He shows you stairs, go up. Rockets come. One tells you you'll have to
trip a secret switch. Each time you go by a camera two Rockets come.
Once you get through the first
floor, go downstairs and Lance heals your Pokemon. Keep going! In your travels, talk to Rockets, you need two passwords
to get through two locked doors. One tells you he thinks a password is Raticate Tail (but he lies!) and another
tells you truthfully that a password is Slowpoke Tail.
There is a teleport tile, it takes you to the exit/entry
stairs.
After you talk to the Rockets that give you passwords, go to the SECOND locked door. A Rocket Executive
wants to battle. After beating her, her bird tells you that the other password is really Hail Giovanni.
Go
to the first locked door and open it. Two bad guys come. Lance comes to help. You and Lance get to beat
three Electrodes each, which turns off the transmitter. Lance gives you HM06 – Whirlpool.
MAHOGANY
GYM
This floor is um… interesting! It is made of ice, you have to skate from trainer to trainer, there
are five. Then you are ready to meet Pryce. He has:
L Dewgong L Piloswine, and

When you beat Pryce, he gives you the Glacier Badge, which raises Pokemon's special stats,
and lets you use WATERFALL outside battle. He also gives you TM16 – Icy Wind.
BACK TO GOLDENROD
Pokemon:
Items:
Full Heal, Max Ether, TM35, Amulet Coin, Rainbow Wing/Silver Wing, TM11
After that, Professor Elm rings and tells
you about the Rockets in the Radio Tower in Goldenrod – so now it's off to sort them out! You get to thump
lots of Rockets, then when you get to the fifth floor it is a FAKE DIRECTOR! He's really a Rocket Executive.
When
you beat the Rocket Executive, he gives you a basement key, and tells you the real Director is in the Underground Warehouse
(in the Underground Path).
Go down the stairs, open the basement door (you can now), go down more stairs –
and good ol' Rival is there! This guy never learns! Anyway, this time he has:
L30 Golbat L30 Magnemite
L30 Haunter L32 Sneasel (who is immune to psychic), and
L32 evolution of his starter Pokemon
Beat the first three Rockets. The third tells you to change the order of
switching so the shutters open. The switches are on the back wall, hit them in the order 3,2,1. There
are burglars in the maze.
You are aiming for the bottom right hand corner of the room. Go through the doors
there. You'll get to the Director. He gives you a card key to open the shutter on the third floor of the Radio
Tower. Go open it – and yes! there are more Rockets. Beat them, and the Director comes and gives you
the Rainbow Wing if you have Gold, or the Silver Wing if you have Silver.
Come back a bit later, and some of the
Radio Station people are pretty happy to see you! Talk to them, a girl gives you TM11 – Sunny Day. Keep
going up and you will meet Mary, who gives you Pink Bow.

Item: Ultra Ball, Max Potion, HM07, Full
Heal, NEVERMELTICE, PP-Up, TM44, Iron
The Ice Cave – this is a fun little place, you skate around to find
your way out. The first big ice maze works like this: go in, then Up, Left, Up, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right,
Down, Left, Up, Left, Down, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right. Are you out now? Good! Keep going, you'll find another
skating place, but if you drop the boulders through the holes first using STRENGTH, you'll have no problems.
If you roll the boulders the wrong way, you can always reset them by leaving that level then returning. TM44 –
Rest is hard to get to – until you realise that you can jump the ledge bordering the ice! You just line
up your launching point with a rock near the TM, and you'll be able to slide across to it.
BLACKTHORNE CITY
Pokemon:
Rhydon
In the first house you come to, a girl wants to swap your female Dragonair for her Rhydon.
There
is a Move Deleter who will delete moves from your Pokemon. This can be handy, if you have given a really good Pokemon
an HM and now you want to get rid of it so it can learn a better move as it gains more experience. The only
down side is that your Pokemon then only has three moves until it does learn a new one.
BLACKTHORNE GYM
You
need STRENGTH, there are boulders to move. You roll one boulder into each hole, then go down the second set of stairs.
That way you can get to Clair.
L37 Dragonair
L37 Dragonair L37 Dragonair; and
L40 Kingdra
Clair is not a very good sport about losing, she sends you to get the Dragon Fang from the Dragon Den
before she will hand over the badge!
DRAGON DEN
Pokemon: Dratini, Dragonair, Magikarp
Items:
Dragon Fang, TM24
You SURF the pond behind the Gym, and there it is. You need WHIRLPOOL. Go around
the central island, go on the grass and Dragon Fang is there in a PokeBall. Clair comes running up and gives you
the Rising Badge, which means you can use Waterfall outside battle, and all Pokemon will now obey you. She also
gives you TM24 – Dragonbreath. Ewwww!

Go east, and SURF. There are lots of trainers. To get to TM22, you SURF in water at the
bottom right corner of Route 27. When you are in the water, go west toward New Bark again. You need WHIRLPOOL to
get to where TM 22 – Solarbeam – is.
There is a hidden house on the way, with a lady in it. Talk
to her and she will give you TM37. There is another house with no one in it, but it gives you the following
information:
Monica – Mon – RT40
Tuscany – Tue – RT29 Wesley – Wed –
Lake of Rage Arthur – Thu – RT36

If
you go to the place listed on the right day, you'll find these people. Each one gives you a different gift for your
Pokemon.
There is a house along Route 26 with a girl inside, she will heal your Pokemon.
You'll come to
the Pokemon League Reception Gate. Show your badges, and you're in! Keep walking up, and you will be on the
new look Victory Road.
Pokemon: Graveler, Golbat, Ursaring, Rhyhorn, Onix
Items:
X-Special, TM26, Full Restore, Max Potion
There's a cave! Talk to a rock to find Max Potion. You find the
way to escape – and guess who turns up? Yep, it's Rival again. He has:
L34 Sneasel L36 Golbat
L35 Haunter L35 Magneton
L35 Kadabra L38 version of his starter Pokemon
That
is your last battle with your Rival! Once you beat him, go on to Pokemon League!
INDIGO PLATEAU
This
is the team I took in to face the Elite Four;
L35 Pidgeotto
L40 Meganium L40 Gyarados
L40 Ampharos L42 Kadabra, and
L50 Charizard
I was not sure whether this team would be strong enough, but we came through quite well. I
think the team's main strength is that it has something to attack most types. Scott used his L100 Mewtwo.
It did the job really well!
When you go in, a big stone door closes behind you, there is no chance to leave once
you start! If you're not too confident, it might be an idea to SAVE before you actually go in. The Elite Four
are as follows:
Will:
L40 Xatu
L41 Slowbro L41 Jynx
L42 Xatu L41 Exeggutor
Koga:
L40 Ariados L43 Forretress (This thing can explode!)

L42 Hitmonchan L43 Onix
L42 Hitmonlee L46 Machamp
Karen:
L42 Umbreon L45 Gengar
L44 Murkrow L47 Houndoom
L42 Vileplume
After beating Karen, you get to challenge the League Champion – no, it is not your Rival, but
Lance! Even though you helped him out in Mahogany, he will not go easy on you!
Lance has:
L44 Gyarados L47 Dragonite
L47 Dragonite L46 Aerodactyl
L50 Dragonite L46 Charizard
When I got through, I bounded
around with excitement for a while! (me personally, not my character!) Mary (a journalist) and Professor Oak
come running up and talk to you. Lance takes you away and registers you in the Hall of Fame! Woohoo!
Then Professor Oak rates your Pokedex, then the credits roll. Don't turn it off! The credits are fairly cute,
with dancing Pokemon around the edges.
When the credits finish, push START to start the game again. You will
find yourself back at home.
Has the adventure ended? NO!!! Of course not! Not only can you now
set about catching all the Pokemon, and experiment with breeding, but there is a whole world of adventure over in
Kanto – the place where the RBY games are set.
If you go see Professor Elm, he will give you a ticket on
the SS AQUA, which leaves from Olivine, and docks in Vermilion City in Kanto.
SS AQUA
Items:
Metal Coat
Go on the ship, and a guy asks if you've seen a little girl. The ship is chokkers with trainers, which
you can beat while you are cruising. You have a cabin of your own too, with a computer, and you can heal your Pokemon
by taking a nap. When you find the girl (she's with the captain), talk to her and the guy comes and gives you
Metal Coat.
By now the ship has arrived at Vermilion City. Should you want to travel by ship again, it
travels to Johto on Wednesdays and Sundays, and returns to Kanto on Mondays and Fridays.
VERMILION CITY
Pokemon:
Tentacool, Tentacruel
Items: Clefairy Doll, Rare Candy, HP-Up
In the Poke Fan Club,
there is a guy with a Clefairy Doll. This will be useful later on. Talk to the president, and say you do want
to hear about his Pokemon. Then he will tell you about Rapidash, then reward you for listening by giving you
a Rare Candy.
On the way out of Vermilion City, on the way to the Diglett's Cave, there is a guy there. If
you talk to him after you get all the Kanto badges, he gives you HP-Up.
VERMILION GYM
Lt Surge is still
there with his apprentices, and the bins are still there too. This time, though, there is no secret switch.
Lt
Surge has:
L44 Raichu
L46 Electabuzz L40 Electrode
L40 Magneton L40 Electrode
When you beat him you get
the Thunder Badge, which increases your Pokemon's speed.
RT 6
Pokemon: Magnemite, Abra, Bellsprout,
Pidgey, Psyduck, Golduck, Meowth (Silver)
This is a very short road, to Saffron City. There is also an underground
path, it leads to Cerulean city which is handy if you want to bypass Saffron City. There is nothing interesting
in there though.
SAFFRON CITY
Items: TM29, Upgrade, Focus Band,
Visit Mr Psychic to get
your TM29 – Psychic! The visit the Silph Building and talk to the guy guarding the stairs to get Upgrade.

If you go on the Nugget Bridge,
you meet six trainers, when you beat them you get a Nugget! Then the guy who gives you the nugget challenges you
too. Keep going to Bill's old house, you'll meet trainers galore. Bill's Grandpa is in the house, he wants
to see a Lickitung. If you show him one, he gives you an Everstone. In fact, he asks to see several Pokemon,
if you show them to him he gives you evolutionary stones. These are the Pokemon and stones:
Lickitung Everstone
Oddish Leaf Stone

Fearow (Morning and day)
When you get to the Power Plant you'll notice they have redecorated severely. Talk
to the people and the manager. On the way out, the security guy says there is a shady character back in Cerulean
City.
The grassy patch in front of the Power Plant has lots of Pokemon! You'll want to get male and female
Electabuzz so you can breed them to get an Elekid. Males are reasonably common, but I found that it was hard to
find a female. So in the end I used my male Bellossom's Sweet Scent which attracted a female Electabuzz!
(It attracted other Pokemon too…) Sweet Scent is handy because you can stand in one place and use it, and
the Pokemon will come to you, you don't have to walk around looking for them!
ROCK TUNNEL
Pokemon:
Machop, Machoke, Geodude, Onix, Cubone, Marowak, Zubat, Kangaskhan
Items: Iron, PP-Up, Revive,
TM47, Elixer
You might like to come back later to investigate. You need FLASH. It takes you to
Lavender Town, but for now you'll want to go to Cerulean City to catch the shady guy! Kangaskhans are on the lower
level, and they are pretty rare.
CERULEAN CITY
Items: Missing Part, TM07
The shady character
is in Misty's gym. He tells you to forget you have seen him. Then he is on the Nugget Bridge, he challenges
you to a battle. When you beat him he tells you the missing part from the Power Plant is in Misty's gym, it
is in the water. It is too – if you go in and turn left then go up, face the square of water and push the
A button. If you are in the right spot, you'll get the part!
Take the part back to the Power Plant.
Give it to the Manager, and he will give you TM07.
Go back to Cerulean City. If you go by Bill's old house
again, this time you'll see Misty and a boy!!! Romance in Cerulean! Anyway, she's pretty miffed when the
guy runs off so she challenges you to a battle back at her Gym.
CERULEAN GYM

L42 Golduck L42 Quagsire
L44 Lapras L47 Starmie
When you beat her, Misty gives
you the Cascade Badge.

again, you might want to make use of the Magnet Train which carries you from Saffron City to Goldenrod City. To
do this you need a Rail Pass.
Go and talk to the Mimic Girl in Saffron City, she wants her Poke Doll. The Mimic
Girl lives in the house second from the left in the top row of houses in Saffron. She left it in Vermilion City.
Go see the guy in Vermilion with the Clefairy Doll, he is in the Poke Fan Club. Give it to the Mimic Girl.
She gives you a Rail Pass. Now you can travel on the train. The train goes whenever you want to travel,
which is better than waiting for the SS AQUA. It also looks really cool.

Leave Saffron by the east
exit. You'll go past trainers on bikes.
LAVENDER TOWN

Items: TM06
There
have been a lot of changes in Fuchsia City. The warden has gone overseas, and the Safari Zone office is closed until
further notice. The Mart is still only accessible using CUT. Access to the sea is blocked off. It
is worth coming back later, though, as the roadworks are finished and you can SURF! It only takes you to Seafoam
Islands, though.

to the Elite Four. His daughter Janine has taken over as Gym Leader. Janine has:

then go up to it, and tune your radio to the Poke Flute. Use the direction button to tune it. Push A and
it plays. Snorlax attacks! This guy is Level 50, and its use of Leftovers makes it really hard to get it's
HP down enough to catch it. Rollout is a pain too. Anyway, we got it down and caught it with a Great Ball.

The Gym is deserted. At least for now!

If you check out the way to Victory
Road, you'll see they have redecorated too. A guy tells you this is the way to Mt Silver, but you can't go there
yet.
There is a trainer house. This is a fun little establishment! You can go there once
a day to meet a trainer – the only reason for doing this is to build up experience points. What is interesting
is who the trainer is.
If you have traded with another trainer, then he or she "appears" in your trainer
house, with the Pokemon they had at the time of trading. Which is fine, but when I went there I met Scott's Level
100 Mewtwo – sigh!

you have beat Blaine first!

When you enter
Mt Silver, there is a sort of maze with ponds. There is a PokeCentre, and a house with a lady who gives you TM47.
There is also a cave. Walk through the cave to the far end, then enter – another cave! Walk to the
end of that cave, and go through the hole, and there is Red, aka Ash. This is your final battle. Red has:
L73 Espeon L75 Snorlax
L77 Blastoise L77 Charizard
L77 Venusaur L81 Pikachu
Scott found that Red didn't
give his L100 Mewtwo too many problems! I still have not had the pleasure of beating Red, I have to train my Pokemon
up a bit more!
Now all that you need to do to complete the game is to collect all 250 Pokemon. For
some of these you will need to trade with RBY games, and for some you'll need to trade with the G&S game you do not
have. Don't forget that to get some Prevolutions like Pichu and Elekid, you will need to breed male and female
Pokemon at the Breeding Centre near Goldenrod.
