Well, here we go. I finally got around to writing this. I've been wanting to do this for
a few months now, and it's finally happening. Joy.
To start off, I've finished Pokémon and collected all 151, so I know about the game and
all this info is 100% accurate, unless otherwise noted (and excluding the rumors, because
rumors aren't supposed to be all accurate).
So it starts...

\_____________________/
You are a 10-year-old boy named Ash (his real name, but you can name him whatever you
want) living in Pallet Town with your mother in a world full of animals called
"Pokémon". Pokémon are caught and trained to do various things from battling other
Pokémon to building houses to flying people to places. Your rival, Gary (also his real
name; again, you can name him what you want) lives next door to you. You and Gary have
just turned 10 and you can now get your Pokémon Trainer's License. When a person turns
10, they can go see Professor Oak, who just happens to be Gary's grandfather, and get
their first Pokémon. This "starter" Pokémon is used to battle other wild Pokémon and
weaken them so they can be caught. The Pokémon that are caught can in turn be raised
and used to capture other wild Pokémon. The trainer does all this with a final goal of
conquering the Elite Four, a foursome of the most powerful trainers in the world. To
beat the Elite Four, a trainer must have some very powerful Pokémon. All trainers have
a dream to accomplish what has just been said.

| |~~~~How to Play~~~~| |
\ \___________________/ /
\_____________________/
Pokémon is basically an RPG with a slight twist. What other RPGs let you capture your
enemies? In this game, you can. That's the basic objective of the game, in fact.
There are 2 types of screens - the overworld screen and the battle screen. In the
overworld screen, the directional arrows move your character around. A in Action, B is
Cancel. Select does nothing.
The Start button brings up the menu:
POKéDEX
POKéMON
ITEM
[name]
SAVE
OPTION
EXIT
Pokédex - This is an electronic encyclopedia that automatically records what Pokémon
you have seen and captured. To complete your Pokédex, you must capture all
150 Pokémon.
Pokémon - This shows your 6 Pokémon that you have with you at the time and lets you
check the statistics of them, including how much experience points they
need to reach their next level.
Item - This shows all the items that you are currently carrying with you and lets
you use them if you want. You can carry up to 20 different items, and up to
99 of the an item. So in other words, you could have 99 Pokéballs, 99
Ultra Balls, a Bicycle, a Super Rod, 99 Revives, 99 Super Potions, 99
Calciums, an Itemfinder, 99 X Accuracies, an Exp. All, 99 Rare Candies
(although there aren't that many in the game), 99 HP Ups, a Master Ball, an
HM 01, 99 TM 33s, a Poké Flute, 99 Antidotes, 99 Full Heals, 99 Full
Restores, and an HM 03. That's just a sample item capacity.
[name] - This tells stuff like how much cash you have, how many Badges you have, and
how much time it has taken to get where you are currently.
Save - This allows you to save your progress in the game.
Exit - This exits the Menu.
As you walk around in weeds, you will encounter random battles with wild Pokémon.
This is when you can capture them by having your Pokémon fight them until they are low
on HP and then using some type of Poké Ball.
Some people you come across are trainers just like yourself and will challenge you to
a duel if you talk to them or cross their line of sight. A trainer's Pokémon will
generally give out more experience points than one in the wild of the same level. If
you win the battle, you get a cash prize. Facing trainers is one of the only ways to
get spending money, so if you don't have Pokémon that are in critical condition, I
would recommend fighting all of them you see. It's a great way to level up your
Pokémon.

\ \___________________/ /
\_____________________/
This is where I will walk you through the game. This walkthrough is my translation of
the Pocket Monsters Walkthrough by Dr. Okido. (Side note: This only covers Red and Blue.
Yellow should be very similar to this, but there are some minor changes.)
Pallet Town
This the starting place of the game. Try to leave the town and Prof. Oak
will come get you. He leads you to his lab, where you will be able to choose
your first Pokemon. There is Bulbasaur, a plant-type Pokémon; Charmander, a
fire-type Pokémon; and Squirtle, and water-type Pokémon. Bulbasaur will fare
best in the beginning of the game. Picking the Pokémon sets the difficulty
of the game in a way. Charmander won't do well at all, so if you want a hard
game, pick Charmander (his Fire-type is weak against the first two gym elements).
Your rival, Gary, will pick up the Pokémon to the right of yours. When you try
to leave, Gary will challenge you to a Pokémon duel. The Pokémon he picked is
always stronger against yours than yours is against his, but none of the
starters have special attacks so it doesn't really matter until the starters
start gaining levels.
Viridian City
Talk to the Shop Clerk and you will get Oak's Parcel. Take it back to Prof.
Oak.
The gym's doors are locked, and they won't unlock until you've beaten the
other 7 trainers in the game.
Pallet Town
After giving the parcel to Prof. Oak, he will give you and Gary each a
Pokédex, which is an electronic encyclopedia. Your goal in the game is to
complete your Pokédex, and the only way to do that is to capture or have
captured every Pokémon in the game.
Viridian Forest
On your way through Viridian Forest, you should pick up a Pikachu, a
Caterpie, and a Weedle. Don't worry about Kakunas and Metapods, because
your Caterpie and Weedle will evolve into one eventually, and they are
attackless. Their only move is Harden. Once they go up 2 or 3 levels, they
emerge from their shells. Kakuna becomes Beedrill and Metapod becomes
Butterfree.
There are three easy trainers in the forest that you should have no trouble
beating.
Pewter City
This is where Brock resides. At his command are Onix and Geodude, two
Rock-type Pokémon. You will have a tough time beating them, because Rock-type
have great defense against Flying-type, Normal-type, and Fire-type attacks,
among others. If you don't have Squirtle or Bulbasaur, Charmander's Ember should
do the trick. Although Fire-type attacks don't hurt Rock-type much, Ember still
does a lot more damage than any Normal-type or Flying-type attacks.
Old Amber is in the the museum. In order to enter the side of the museum with
it, you need to cut a tree down with the Cut ability. Old Amber will become an
Aerodactyl when you take it to the Pokémon Laboratory on Cinnabar Island.
Mt. Moon
Here you can get one of two fossils. You can choose the Helix Fossil or
the Dome Fossil. The Helix Fossil will become Omanyte and the Dome Fossil
will become Kabuto when you take them to the Pokemon Laboratory on Cinnabar
Island.
Cerulean City
In this city you can trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx. You can also get the
Bike here once the president of the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City has
given you the Bike Voucher. Beat the Gym here and head north to Bill's
house. Here you will get the SS Ticket.
On the road South from Cerulean City, there is a house. This is the Pokémon
Daycare Center. The man there will care for one of your Pokémon and raise its
level while you are gone. At the end of the road, there is a big building
which is a gate house for Saffron City. At this point, the guard will not let
you through. You must get some Fresh Water from the Poké Mart in Celadon City.
The smaller building is the entrance to an underground passage to Vermilion
City.
Vermilion City
Here you can get the Coupon for bike by visiting the Pokémon Fan Club. Beat
Lt. Surge, the gym leader, and talk to him afterwards to get the TM 24, which
contains Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is the one of the best Electric moves.
SS Anne
You can get on the boat with the SS Ticket you got from Bill. On
this boat, there are many trainers and some useful items. The most
important item of them all is HM 01, which the captain will give to you
when you help him through his seasickness. You should get HM 01 after
you have done everything else, because the boat will take off when you
get the HM 01 and exit the boat.
Vermilion City (revisited)
Go east and you will find a building on the right side of the road. One
of Prof. Oak's aides is on the 2nd floor. He will give you the Itemfinder
if you currently have caught more than 30 Pokémon.
Diglett's Cave
It leads to the road near Pewter City. Be sure to pick up a Diglett before
you leave, and a Dugtrio if you're lucky. The Dugtrios are in the lv 30 range.
Route 2
This is where you emerge from Diglett's Cave. Go down and into the house to
get the HM 05 from Prof. Oak's Aide. Make sure you have caught at least 10
different kinds of Pokémon. Lots of items on this route...
Diglett's Cave
Go back through here and into Vermilion City.
Vermilion City
Go up from Vermilion and go into the underground tunnel to Cerulean.
Cerulean City
Go east and enter the Rock Tunnel.
Rock Tunnel
It is very dark inside of the cave, so you need a Pokemon equipped with
Flash (HM 05). Pick up an Onix and a Machop here.
Lavender Town
In the northeast section of the town there is a big building, Pokémon Tower. In
order to identify and fight the ghosts in the tower, you need the Silph
Scope, which you can get in basement of the Game Corner in Celadon City
after you defeat Giovanni. Come back here when you have the Silph Scope. Go left
from Lavender to find an underground passage to Celadon.
Celadon City
Celadon is the biggest city in the whole game of Pokémon. You will need
to come to this city many times.
You can get an Eevee by way of a back entrance to the Game Freak, Inc.
building.
Use a stone from the Poké Mart to evolve him into a Jolteon, a Flareon, or
The Gym Leader, Erika, caters to Plant-type Pokémon. Beat her and get a
TM that contains the best Plant-type attack, Mega Drain.
Game Corner
You can play the slot machines here, but you need Coin Case and coins to play a
slot machine. Some of the people playing will give you coins. You can also buy
coins, 50 of them for P1000. Also, walk around hitting A and you will find more
coins.
Go to the top of the Game Corner and fight the Team Rocket member. Hit A in
front of the poster behind him once he's gone. Go straight right and down the stairs.
The basement of the Game Corner is Team Rocket's hideout. Giovanni, the boss of
Team Rocket, has the Silph Scope. You will need it to make your way through
Pokémon Tower.
You can get TMs and Pokémon by trading in your coins at the Prize Exchange.
Go West from Celadon City. On this road, a Snorlax is sleeping, and you must
wake him up. If you have the Poké Flute, you can wake him up and fight him.
Before you get to the Snorlax, you will notice a bush that leads to another
road. Cut it down and go up and left. Go through the building and into the house
you find. The girl inside will give you HM 02, which contains Fly.
Celadon Department Store
In this store you can buy many items, including Stones that will evolve your
Pokémon, TMs, ability enhancers, etc. You should evolve all your Pokemon through
the stones.
On the roof level, pick up two Fresh Waters, one Soda Pop, and one Lemonade.
Give one of each to the thirsty girl and she will give you 3 TMs.
Lavender Town
Go into the Pokémon Tower.
Pokémon Tower
Equipped with the Silph Scope, you can now identify the ghosts. Keep going upwards
until you get to the top. Fight the Rocket members and rescue Mr. Fuji. He'll give
you the Poké Flute.
Cycling Road
This leads to Fuschia City. You need the Bike to go through. If you don't have the
bike, go to Vermilion City and get the Bike Voucher from the Pokemon Fan Club
president. The go back to Cerulean City and get a Bike.
Lavender Town (revisited)
Going south from Lavender is another way to get to Fuschia City.
Route 12
On this road another Snorlax is sleeping, so use the Poké Flute to wake him up.
At the end of the road, there is a gate house for Fuschia City. Go upstairs, and
you will find another one of Prof. Oak's aides. He will give you the Experience All
if you have caught 50 or more Pokémon.
Fuschia City
Head north to the Safari Zone.
Also, the warden of Safari Zone will reward you with the HM 04 if you
give him the Gold Teeth. (found in Safari Zone near the Secret House)
Safari Zone
At the end of Safari Zone there is a cottage called the "Secret House" where
you will get HM 03 from a man inside. HM 03 contains Surf.
Saffron City
You can get here from Cerulean, Lavender, Celadon and Vermilion. At first, the
gate guards will not let you through the gates. First go to Celadon City
Department Store, get something drink from a vending machine on 6th floor
(there are 3 kinds, any will do), and go to the gate and give him the drink.
There are 2 Gyms in this city. One of them is the Fighting Dojo, where you can
get Hitmonchan, the kicking Pokémon, or Hitmonlee, the punching counterpart. The
other is Sabrina's Gym, but there is a Rocket in front of the Gym. In order to
enter the Gym, you need to go to Silph Co., the biggest building in Saffron City,
and defeat Giovanni. Be sure to get the Lapras there, too.
Silph Co.
There are many items and Team Rocket members in here. Adding to it, you need
to jump from point to point. You also need the Card Key to open doors.
***HOW TO GET THE CARD KEY***
Go to the 5th floor, then go all the way down. Step on the warp tile, then step
back on it to appear back where you were, but on top of the tile. Then step down
and go to the right and get the Key.
Afterdefeating Giovanni, talk to the sitting man and he will give you Master Ball.
It has a 100% chance of catching. I would recommend using it on one of the Birds or
Mewtwo, although all four of these Pokémon can be caught with an ordinary Ultra
Ball and a lot of patience.
Power Plant
Cross the water after you get out onto the other side of the Rock Tunnel.
There are lots of Electric Pokémon in here. Also here is Zapdos, one of the
Legendary Birds.
Seafoam Islands
Cross the water after you get to Fuschia City. Many Water Pokémon reside
here, and it's a good chance to add to your collection. This is where
Articuno, the Ice Bird is.
Cinnabar Island
South of Pallet Town is Cinnabar Island. Enter the Pokémon Laboratory
and get some new Pokémon. Depending on what fossil you got in Mt. Moon,
you can get Kabuto or Omanyte. You can also get Aerodactyl if you picked
up the Old Amber in Pewter City's museum. Beat the Gym leader, Blaine,
and head north back to Viridian City.
Viridian City
Here is the final Gym. After beating Giovanni, go west to the Pokémon
League HQ.
Victory Road
To pass here you will need the moves from HM 03 and HM 04. This is where
you find Moltres, the Fire Bird.
Indigo Plateau
Here is a Poké Center and a Poké Mart in one. Go though the door at the
top to fight the Elite Four, a group of the most powerful trainers ever.
All their Pokémon are over lv. 50, so be prepared.
After facing the Elite Four, you will come up against Gary. Beat him and
you will be the best Pokémon trainer ever!
Cerulean Cave
After you have beaten the Pokémon League, go back to Cerulean City.
Northeast of Cerulean City in a cave is Mewtwo, the best Pokémon. I believe
he is at lv. 70. It is possible to catch Mewtwo without the Master Ball,
but it is hard. You only see him once in the whole game! Make him faint and
you're out of luck...
Tip: Save the game right in front of Mewtwo, so if you make him faint or
you mess up in any way, you can just reset the game and try again.

| |~Notes about moves~| |
\ \___________________/ /
\_____________________/
I have made a bunch of observations about the moves. Basically, I have classified them
into groups depending on what they do.
I. Regular - These attacks make up most of the moves in the game.
A. Normal
- A lot moves fall under this category. These moves aren't super effective against
any type and there's nothing unusual about them. They do not effect Ghosts and
Rock-type Pokémon have a strange resistance to them.
B. Element
- There are 14 other types of moves that are elemental. These attacks can
sometimes be super effective against other types of Pokémon, usually logically
(example: Flying-type attacks are excellent against Bug-type Pokémon)
II. Set - These attacks take off the same amount of damage, regardless of the opponent's
Defense rating and/or your Attack rating.
A. Permanent Set
- These moves take off the same amount of damage all the time with no exceptions.
Only the moves Sonic Boom (20 HP) and Dragon Rage (40 HP) fall under this
category.
B. Level Set
- These moves take off damage according to your Pokémon's level. The moves Seismic
Toss and Night Shade take off HP equal to the level of your Pokémon, while
Psywave takes off damage equal to one and a half times your Pokémon's level.
(if you are at level 20, Psywave will take off 30 HP; if you are at lv 50, it
will take off 75 HP)
III. Stat Alter - These moves affect the statistics of either you or the opponent.
A. Temporary
- These moves only affect the opponent temporarily. They can be erased by 1
of 3 ways: using the move Haze, switching the Pokémon for another and then back
again, or ending the battle. Such moves include Harden and Tail Whip.
B. Prolonged
- These attacks cannot be erased by doing the above techniques. Time will cure
Sleep, but the others require a special item or a visit to a Pokémon Center for
treatment. The good thing is, you can only have one prolonged effect at a time.
1. Poison
- This gradually takes off HP during battle. Outside of battle, it takes off
1 HP every 5 steps.
2. Ice
- This is the worst prolonged condition. If frozen, your Pokémon is entirely
immobile and it does not go away with time.
3. Burn
- If burned, a Pokémon's stats are lowered and HP gradually decreases like
Poison. However, nothing happens as you walk.
4. Paralyze
- Pokémon's Speed decreases immensely and it will not attack sometimes.
5. Sleep
- Like Ice, your Pokémon will be offenseless, but it is only temporary. Use
either Awakening or the Poké Flute to awaken a sleeping Pokémon.
C. X-Stat
- There are 2 moves that fall under this category.
1. Haze
- This move removes all temporary stat alterations, including Confusion.
2. Mist
- Mist prevents any of this from happening. Use it at the beginning of a
battle.
D. HP Refill
- The moves Rest, Recover, and Softboiled fall under this category. They all
refill the HP of the Pokémon.
1. Rest
- This move recovers all HP and prolonged conditions. However, your
Pokémon will fall asleep and lose 2 turns.
2. Recover
- This move recovers half of your Pokémon's HP. Nothing else.
3. Softboiled
- This move has a double use. TM 41, which is the only way to get the move,
can only be used on Chansey. In battle, Chansey recovers half of its HP,
like the move Recover. Outside of battle, however, Chansey transfers its
HP to another Pokémon. Even at lv 60, Chansey has somewhere around 400
HP, so losing some isn't much of a problem. If Chansey gets low on life,
just get into battle and use the move until it has full life.
E. Offensive moves that may affect stats
- These moves do damage and will sometimes alter stats. Such moves include
Psybeam, Thunder, and Blizzard.
IV. Multi - These attacks hit anywhere from 2 to 5 times in a varying amount of ways,
described below.
A. Row
- These attacks all take place in the same turn. Among the attacks in this
category are Fury Swipes and Spike Cannon.
B. Seperate Turns, opponent can't counterattack
- These moves "tie up" the opponent and prevent them from attacking you back.
They can, however, switch Pokémon or use an item. Such moves include Wrap and
Clamp.
C. Seperate Turns, opponent can counterattack
- These moves prevent your Pokémon from using any other attack until they are
finished using that one. Among these attacks are Petal Dance, Rage and Thrash.
1. Petal Dance
- Nearly identical to Thrash, but it grass-type instead of normal-type.
When the attack ends, the Pokémon becomes confused.
2. Thrash
- Same as Petal Dance, except Normal-type.
3. Rage
- This attack doesn't end after a specified time. You must keep using it
until either you faint or the oppenent faints. As they attack you, your
Attack rating rises.
V. Two-Turn - These attacks are generally very powerful, but they use up two of your
turns.
A. "Charge" attacks
- These attacks require you to charge up or gather energy before you use them.
Many attacks - such as Skull Bash, Sky Attack, and Razor Wind - require you
to charge.
B. "Recharge" attacks
- The only attack under this category is Hyper Beam. This lone attack deals out
a lot of damage with no charging time, but after using it you must recharge
and lose a turn.
VI. Steal - These attacks "steal" the enemy's HP and gives part of what you stole to
you. The moves Leech Life, Absorb, and Mega Drain all fall under this
category.

| |~~~Mew and Mewtwo~~~| |
\ \____________________/ /
\______________________/
For starters, there are people out there who will try every single new rumor about
how to get Mew, Pokémon #151, no matter what it involves, just because they have
beaten the game, collected all 150 Pokémon, and have nothing better to do with their
lives. The second they hear a new Mew rumor, they run to their Game Boy, pop in
Pokémon, flip the switch, and play their hearts out. This Mew/Mewtwo section has been
compiled basically for those people who are obsessed with Mew.
This FAQ will tell you nearly EVERYTHING you want to know about Mew and Mewtwo. I
have found a lot of sources that have a information on Mew and Mewtwo, and I have
compiled all that info into this FAQ that you are reading now.
Straight from the game - the basic story behind Mew and Mewtwo is rather clearly
stated in these journal entries...
-------------------------------------------
Diary: July 5
Guyana, South America
A new Pokémon was discovered deep in the jungle.
-------------------------------------------
Diary: July 10
We christened the newly discovered Pokémon, Mew.
-------------------------------------------
Diary: February 6
Mew gave birth. We named the newborn Mewtwo.
-------------------------------------------
Diary: September 1
Mewtwo is far too powerful. We have failed to curb its vicious tendencies...
-------------------------------------------
Mewtwo's Pokédex entry states, "It was created by a scientist after years of
horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering". In Pokémon Power Issue 5, there are
three bits of info that back up this story:
-------------------------------------------
"Cinnabar Island is a hotbed of Pokémon research. The Pokémon Lab engaged in
cloning expiriments, while the scientists in the Pokémon Mansion were trying to
engineer the perfect fighting Pokémon. Perhaps this creature was the cause of the
chaos on the island!"
-------------------------------------------
"If you look carefully, you may even find valuable clues about the expirimental
Pokémon that was being kept here."
-------------------------------------------
"Examine the tables to find intriguing bits of information about the expiriments
that went on here. It seems the scientists created a Pokémon too powerful to
control. It eventually went and escaped!"
-------------------------------------------
If you look around Cinnabar Mansion, you can indeed tell that something happened
here. Mew was pregnant, and they decided to do some DNA enginerring. They made
Mewtwo super-powerful, so it was almost like a new species when it was born. Mewtwo
apparently escaped from the mansion while they were testing it, leaving behind a
terrible mess and forcing most of the scientists to evacuate. You will find a few
Scientists inside the mansion, and you will also find some Burglars who came to
scavenge the burnt-out place and find anything useful.
Mewtwo made his way to the Cerulean Cave and resided there to hide from the anyone
who was looking for him. After beating the Pokémon League, you can go there and catch
him, although it is hard. He comes equipped with Psychic, Swift, Barrier, and Recover.
He learns Mist at lv 75, and Amnesia at lv 81. Psychic, Swift, and Recover are the
only good moves, because he doesn't need the defense being at lv 70, his Special is
his highest mark, and Mist just prevents other Pokémon from using Tail Whip, Growl,
and moves like that which alter your stats.
There is only one known way to get Mew in the US version - use a GameShark. Enter
the code 0115D8CF and then every Pokémon you fight will be Mew, even though it might
be a picture of a Pokémon that is found in that area or the picture might be screwed
up. Its HP gauge will say Mew and it will make the sound of Mew, however. Catch it
and you will have Mew, and it will look like Mew when you use it. Mew can learn any
TM or HM move (including Fly =Þ), and he learns the following moves on his own:
Level Move
-- Pound
10 Transform
20 Mega Punch
30 Metronome
40 Psychic
-------------------------------------------
I wrote Nintendo about Mew being able to be caught without using a GameShark:
-------------------------------------------
I wrote:
Is Mew in the US version of Pokémon? I've looked at a bunch of sites that have
codes to get Mew, get all the Pokémon, get your Pokémon to level 100, and others. I
tried a few of the codes for Mew but none worked. Is Mew in the game at all? I saw
the journal entries in Cinnabar Mansion, and I know that he exists in the Pokémon
world. From the entries, it seems logical that he would be in the game as a secret
character...
~Syraxx
-------------------------------------------
They wrote:
As far as I know, Mew is not in the U.S. version of the game. If he does exist, we
will post it at www.pokemon.com, but I wouldn't count on it. If you would like
detailed info about all 150 Pokémon, you can now order the Pokémon Player's Guide on
our website, so be sure to check it out.
Nintendo of America Inc.
Dervin Camden
------------------------------------------
There is also a Mew rumor for the US version:
Before getting on the SS Anne, trade for a Pokémon who has Cut. Go through the game
until you beat Koga, and collect the Surf and Strength HMs while you're at it. Go
back to the SS Anne (which hasn't left harbor yet) and go to the screen which shows
the dock and the SS Anne. Surf around the back of it and you will see a truck. Use
Strength to move it. You will then find Mew in a Pokéball, like you did Eevee.
THIS RUMOR IS 100% FALSE. There's a qewl area behind the ship, but the truck CANNOT
be moved worth anything, nor does it look like it should be moved.
Now, the verdict: Mew IS NOT in the game without a game enhancement device! Don't
believe ANYTHING you hear about getting him, it's FAKE!!

\ \___________________/ /
\_____________________/
Well, I have formed my own ultimate team of Pokémon and decided to reveal to the
world just how I did it. It might seem complicated, but it really isn't.
First off, copy down the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now fill it all out. Here's a sample:
Element - Ice
Attack that is this element - Blizzard
Pokémon that is this element - Articuno
Make sure the attack is a free-damage one, and not a set-damage one. Also, try to
pick a Pokémon for the element that is dual-type, like I put down Articuno because
he is Ice- and Flying-type.
You are trying to have all the types of attacks and all the types of defense in
your team. You do not need some of the minor types of defense, such as Bug or
Electric, but in my ultimate team the only type of attack I'm missing is Bug.
Remember, you can teach moves to a Pokémon that aren't their element type.
For the "attack that is this element" space, try to put in the most powerful move
of that element, like I put down "Blizzard" because it's the most powerful Ice
attack.
It's kind of hard to explain, but once you figure it out you can defeat any of the
opponents in the game and nearly all of your friends.

| |Miscellaneous stuff| |
\ \___________________/ /
\_____________________/
This section is compiled of a bunch of miscellaneous tips that are very important if
you want to do well in the game. More will be added as I think of them.
- DO NOT USE YOUR RARE CANDIES, PP UPS, AND ABILITY ENHANCERS UNTIL YOU HAVE DEVISED
THE ULTIMATE TEAM. I cannot stress the importance of this.
Usually, the most powerful attacks of an element have 5 or 10 PP. This is not
enough. Use your PP Ups on these moves.
As they gain levels, it becomes harder and harder to get your Pokémon to the next
one. Around level 90, it takes somewhere around 21,000 experience points to get
them to the next. This is when you should use your Rare Candies.
Ability enhancers aren't as much of a problem, because you can buy them in Celadon.
But, why waste them on useless Pokémon? Make your ultimate team as strong as is
humanly possible and save your cash to buy other important crap!!!
- Remember, Pokémon gain a lot more attack, defense, special, and speed when they
evolve. Unless you absolutely cannot stand evolving them (like if you have a
Pikachu), do it. You won't regret it.
- POKÉMON WILL NOT LEARN ANY MORE MOVES IF YOU EVOLVE THEM WITH A STONE. There are a
few exceptions, such as Eevee's forms, but generally no Pokémon learns more than 2
more moves if you force-evolve them. Evolve them after they learn their last move.
Here's a chart that will tell you the absolute lowest level to stone-evolve your
Pokémon.
025 Pikachu - lv 43
030 Nidorina - lv 50
033 Nidorino - lv 50
035 Clefairy - lv 48
037 Vulpix - lv 42
039 Jigglypuff - lv 39
044 Gloom - lv 52
058 Growlithe - lv 50
061 Poliwhirl - lv 49
070 Weepinbell - lv 49
102 Exeggcute - lv 48
120 Staryu - lv 47
- Remember, hidden items can be found on the ground by using the Itemfinder. Use it
often and you will occasionally hear it beep, indicating that there is an invisible
item onscreen. All the PP Ups in the game are hidden with the exception of one, and
PP Ups are super-valuable.
- Try to trade Pokémon like Dratini with your friends. Since Dratini reaches his last
form at lv 55, it's nice if he gets 1.5 times the experience points he would have if
he weren't traded so he gains levels and evolves a lot faster.
- Always talk to a trainer after you defeat them. Sometimes they will give you a tip,
and sometimes they will give you an item, like in the case of the Rocket member in
the Game Corner basement. You cannot get the Lift Key without talking to him after
you defeat him.

People always have questions about Pokémon... Here are some of the most frequently
asked.
Q. What is Pokémon?
A. That's what this guide is about!! If you haven't figured it out from the rest of
the guide, you probably never will.
Q. I beat [trainer]. S/he said that I can now use [HM move] any time. I don't know
how!!! The HM s/he gave me isn't on my item list or my PC!!!
A. That would be because s/he didn't give you the HM. You must find it.
Q. I got [HM]. I taught the move to one of my Pokémon. He can use it inside battle,
but not outside!!! What's wrong?
A. You need to have the appropriate badge in order to use an HM move outside of
battle.
Q. Why won't my Pokémon obey me?
A. If you got a Pokémon in a trade, they won't obey you unless you have the right
Badge.
Q. The SS Anne left without me!!!
A. It's supposed to. It won't leave with you on it.
Q. Where is Prof. Oak's Aide? I need the Flash HM!!!!
A. Once you get to Vermilion City, go through Diglett's Cave. When you emerge, go
down until you get to a house. That house has someone who will trade his Mr. Mime
for an Abra. Come back here when you have one, but for now keep going down until
you reach another house. The aide is inside. If you have caught more than 10
different kinds of Pokémon, he will give you the HM 05 (Flash).
Q. WHERE THE HECK IS LICKITUNG?????
A. Go left from Fuschia City to the lookout tower. Go upstairs and there will be a
dude who wants to trade a Slowbro for his Lickitung.
Q. I killed [Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Mewtwo, Snorlax]. Is there any way to get
another one?
A. Except for Snorlax, there is only one of those Pokémon in the entire game. (There
are two Snorlaxes) If you kill these Pokémon, you don't get another chance at
catching them.
Q. How on earth do you make that e with a line over it????
A. Using a PC, turn Num Lock on. Then hold Alt and type 0233 on the number pad on
the right side of the keyboard. If you want it with a capital e, then type 0201
instead of 0233. é É Pokémon POKÉMON
With a Mac:
Hold the "option" key, press "E" key, release "option," press "E." For
"É" do the same except hold "shift" when you press "E" for the second
time. And for other accented vowels: hold "option," press "E," release
"option," press vowel key.
Q. I can't find the secret house in the Safari Zone.
A. This one's hard to put in words, but I'll try anyways.
From the entrance, go to right and into the next area. Go to the top of that
area and then left to the next area. Go left into the patch of grass, then up
the stairs. Go left then down, and go down the stairs. You should see a pond.
From the pond, go straight up and then right. You should see a house. From there,
go left until you reach a patch of grass. Go down from there into another area.
Go left and you will find the house.
Q. How do I get past the guards?
A. Give them a drink from the Celadon Department Store's roof level vending machines.
(You need to use the stairs to get to the roof)
Q. What levels should I raise my Pokémon to before facing the Elite Four?
A. You should be fine if they're all around 55-60... Be sure to pack a lot of Revives,
though, because you face them one right after the other.
Q. Where is the Earth Badge?
A. Remember that Gym in Viridian City that you couldn't get into? Go back there after
you beat Blaine.
***READ***
Q. I can't find the Card Key in Silph Co.!!
A. Go to the 5th floor. Go down from the elevator and step on the warp tile that's
right next to the guard and you can't go further. Then step back on the tile and
you can go past. I get this question on average of once every two weeks or so, and
if people would just read this FAQ then it would be a lot easier.
Q. I can't find a [name of Pokémon]. Where is it?
A. If you have seen the Pokémon in a trainer fight, then go to the Pokédex and select
that Pokémon. Select "Area" and sometimes it will tell you where to find it. Keep
in mind that there are 11 Pokémon that are not in your version and that there are
some people in the game that will trade with you. There are 4 Pokémon that can only
be obtained by in-game trades. If all else fails, remember that there are Pokémon
that you must choose between. Such cases would be in the Fighting Dojo, where you
can pick either a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonchan. Neither of these Pokémon can be found
anywhere else. Also, you must pick which stone to use on Eevee. There is only one
Eevee in the game, so you can pick only one of his evolved forms. In Mt. Moon, you
can only get one fossil. Remember that if you trade with a friend and then trade
back, both you and your friend will have the Pokédex data on that Pokémon, so you
don't have to give your prized Pokémon to your friend just to complete your Pokédex.
Q. I MUST HAVE A PIKACHU!!! WHERE IS HE???
A. Viridian Forest. It might take you awhile to find one, but they're there. Pikachu's
defense is terrible, though. He is weak as heck even at lv 100. Although Raichu is
ugly (for those of you who care), you must force-evolve Pikachu in order for him to
amount to anything. Raichu learns no moves in that form, so wait until Pikachu learns
Thunder at lv 43 to force-evolve him with the Thunder Stone. Pikachu can also be found
in the Power Plant.
Q. How do I get to the Sea Cottage? I looked all around Bill's house, but there's no
to get up any farther from there!!
A. The Sea Cottage IS Bill's House... [believe me, I get this one a lot]
Q. How do I get to the Power Plant? I've been looking for it forever!!!
A. Go right from Cerulean City and Surf down.
Q. Where do I take the fossil I got from Mt. Moon?
A. Cinnabar Island Research Lab.
Q. The dude who got the other fossil already told me that. Where IS Cinnabar Island???
A. It's one of the last areas in the game. Don't try getting there until after you get
to Fuschia City and get the Surf HM.
Q. Do you play the oboe?
A. No...
Q. Do you have a website?
A. Pokémon HQ is located at
http://phq.fanhosts.com.
Q. Are you ever going to stop answering questions?
A. Yep. This is the last one.
Q. Oh yeah?
A. Yeah. Er... Hey!

I want to thank Nintendo for bringing Pokémon to America.
I want to thank Shigeru Miyamoto. Need I say why?
I want to thank Nintendo again for devising the idea for Pokémon Gold/Silver.
I want to thank Toys 'R' Us for having Pokémon in stock when I went there the day
after the game came out to get it.
I want to thank Nintendo (last time) for making a Player's Guide for the game.
Without it, I probably wouldn't have been able to get this much info on the game.
I want to thank Prima, too, for making a guide for the game. It had some info that
Nintendo's didn't have. Prima could've used a spellchecker, though... =]
