Walkthrough

Here we go then. First of all, head downstairs and speak to your mom. She?ll

give you your Pokegear. It can?t do much right now, but it?s capabilities grow

over time. Head outside and enter the building to the left. This is Professor

Elm?s lab. Speak to him, and he?ll ask you fetch something for him from a

colleague (Mr. Pokemon) of his. He?ll then give you a choice of three starting

Pokemon for your travels. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile. The best choice

for beginners is either Cyndaquil or Totodile. Cyndaquil is weaker in the

first gym, but after that, he?s a great all round Pokemon. Totodile is average

in the first gym and good in the other gyms. Chikorita is poor in the majority

of gyms. Choose whichever Pokemon you want (in the end, it all comes down to

preference), and receive a Potion from Elm?s Aide before you leave.

Head west out of New Bark Town.

ROUTE 29

Fight wild Pokemon to level up your starter, but be careful. If your HP drops

too low, run from wild battles until you heal your Pokemon at the nearest

Pokecenter.

Take the Berry from the plant in the south-west before continuing. After

you?ve done so, proceed west.

CHERRYGROVE CITY

First, speak to the man at the entrance. He?ll give you a tour, and at the end

of it, he?ll hand over a Map Card for your Poke Gear. Next, heal your Pokemon

at the Pokecenter if you need to, otherwise walk on and head north.

ROUTE 30

Be careful about battling; head back to the Pokecenter if need be. Try to

avoid using Berries for now, as you?ll need them more later. Speaking of

Berries, grab one from the plant next to a house along this route. Then head

inside the house, and speak to the guy in there for another.

Continue to head north, and head up the right path when you are faced with a

choice; the left path is blocked by some kids participating in a Pokemon

battle.

Keep walking north until you reach Mr. Pokemon?s house.

Enter, and...
