Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are the two newest Pokémon games to be 
released, and although the games may be new, the Pokemon sure aren't! Your 
favorites from the first series of Pokémon games are back in the wonderful 
remake of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue! If you haven't played either of those 
two games, you'll be in for a treat as you go back to the roots of Pokémon, 
taking on the dark forces of Team Rocket, and pursuing your quest to become 
the Pokemon League Champion! If you have played either Red or Blue, then 
you'll be in for a surprise when you witness all of the events of your old-
school classics come to life in stunning graphics that are the equivalent of 
Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire's graphics!

Welcome to my Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen FAQ/Walkthrough. I will try to provide
you with the most comprehensive walkthrough and detailed FAQ I can posssibly
give you. Enjoy.

Version 0.2 > December 14th, 2005
---------------------------------
I decided to make a FAQ for FireRed/LeafGreen this day. The first version of
this guide. I made the Table of Contents, along with the ascii art and headers.
Completed the first 3 sections along with the both of the Basics section, right
before the walkthroughs. In addition to those things I completed the Move List,
Abilities List, Move Tutors List, Type Advantage Chart, Items List, Berries 
List, TM/HM list, breeding guide and the last couple of sections at the end 
(FAQ and Guide Closing). Added a new section, Basic Battle Strategies. I 
think this FAQ is 50% complete and just need the walkthroughs. I went up
to Vermilion City in the walkthrough. 270 KB.

Version 0.4 > December 16th, 2005
---------------------------------
Made some progress on the walkthrough. Went up to Celadon city and completed
it as well. 285 KB

Version 0.6 > December 17th, 2005
---------------------------------
More walkthrough updates in this version. Made it all the way up to Cinnabar
Island and completed the Side Quest section with info on how to catch the
legendary's. More to come. 318 KB

Version 0.8 > December 18th, 2005
---------------------------------
Probably my last incomplete version. Got pretty far in my walkthrough. All 
walkthrough complete up to Victory Road. It took me a long while to get up to
there, don't know why... =/. Almost Done! 340 KB

Version 1.0 > December 19th, 2005
---------------------------------
Huzzah! The first complete version of the whole guide. I completed everything
I said in Version 0.2 plus the whole walkthrough. I completed the Victory Road
and the Elite Four to wrap up this guide. I plan on makeing a lot more updates
to this guide, so expect a lot. 360 KB

Version 1.4 > December 20th, 2005
---------------------------------
Made a huge update today in completing this section. I completed the Islands
walkthrough, section 7. I also completed the Unknown Dungeon section and made
some additions to some section. I might make one more update later. 404 KB


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the originals, there are some slight differences between Fire and Leaf,
primarily in their obtainable pokemon selection. Here's the breakdown of the
version exclusives:

-----------------------------------.   .------------------------------------
              LEAFGREEN             \ /              FIRERED 
-------------------------------------^--------------------------------------
Bellsprout- Weepinbell - Victreebel  < Oddish - Gloom - Vileplume - Bellossom
                      Magby - Magmar = Elekid - Electabuzz
       Slowpoke - Slowbro - Slowking > Psyduck - Golduck
               Sandshrew - Sandslash > Ekans - Arbok
                  Vulpix - Ninetales = Growlithe - Arcanine
                              Pinsir > Scyther - Scizor
                    Staryu - Starmie = Shellder - Cloyster
        Azurill - Marill - Azumarill > Wooper - Quagsire
                          Misdreavus > Murkrow
                             Sneasel < Skarmory
                Remoraid - Octillery > Qwilfish
                             Mantine > Delibird
                          Leaf Green = Fire Red

As a rule of thumb (but not an absolute) the pokémon on one side appear in the
same places and same rate in their version as the pokemon directly opposite
them. The major violation to this rule (and possibly the only one, I'm not
sure) is Electabuzz/Magmar.

     _                                                                  _

These are the basic things you know to pass and at least play the game. It
includes every basic things from the controls to how to catch pokemon even.
If you are a begginer at pokémon I suggest you read this section. It will help 
get started and how to do the basic things. If you are not, then you should 
skip this section.

O============================================================================O
|                          --- 4.01 Controls ---                      (0401) |
O============================================================================O

Directional Pad (D-Pad):
------------------------
The Directional Pad (or D-Pad for short) is your navigation button. That is 
to say the D-Pad allows you to move your character around various areas, 
whether it be a town, city, forest or cave, but it also allows you to 
navigate the various menus, both of the in-game and battle variety. 

Start Button:
-------------
The Start Button's primary function is to call up the main menu anytime when 
you're not in battle. 

Select Button:
--------------
The Select Button is rarely used. It has a few in-game functions, but it's 
most important in-game function is when you set an item to the Select Button. 
When you do that, press Select at any point out of battle to use said item. 

B Button:
---------
The B Button is known as the "cancel" or "back" button. In the various in-
game and battle menus, if you select something and you don't to commit to 
that selection, press B to go back to the previous menu. This only works if 
your selection didn't make something happen. That is to say, once you select 
an attack in battle, you can't press B and go back - it's too late. But if 
you select an item in a menu and don't want to use it, press B 
to go back. Also, outside of battle and menus, once you obtain the Running 
Shoes, you can run around with them through towns, forests, caves and 
essentially anything outside of battle (except houses and other buildings) by 
pressing and holding down the B Button.

A Button: 
---------
The A Button is used to search and confirm. Press the A Button in 
front of someone to talk to that person, press the A Button to pick something 
up off of the ground or table, or in the in-game and battle menus, pressing 
the A Button will confirm a selection, whether it be an attack or whatever. 
The A Button is also used to progress text when talking to someone, or end a 
conversation when it's over.

L Button:
---------
The gameplay "help" feature will be activated. If you don't understand 
something during the game, such as the controls or a certain term press this 
button for help.

R Button:
---------
Same as the L button mostly. Also, this button will change the text characters
during a chat with a link cabe or wireless adapter.

This is a screen that appears when you first enter any battle. The battle 
screen contains your pokemon's status, HP, name, Exp. and level. This also
applys to the opponets pokemon's box. (Execpt for Exp.) So you should know 
what each things mean, so you could start battling.

So, you've entered into a Pokémon battle? Now what, you ask? Well, let us 
first focus on the battle menu. There are four choices within the battle 
menu, and they are... 

Fight: Fight is the primary command you'll select when using your Pokémon in 
battle. When you select the Fight command from the battle menu, it'll bring 
you to a list of the attacks the particular Pokémon you have in battle can 
use. As you might know by now, your Pokémon can have up to four attacks at 
one time, so selecting the Fight command will bring you to these attacks, 
however many your Pokémon may have at that given time. 

Bag: Selecting the Bag command will bring you to your Bag where you hold your 
various items, whether they be healing items, status-curing items, or the 
like. You can find more information on the Bag in the Basics section of the 
guide, and, of course, more information on the various in-game items can be 
found in the Items section of this guide. 

Pokémon: Selecting the Pokémon command will bring you to a list of your 
current party Pokémon, which is essentially the Pokémon you currently have in 
battle on the left side of the screen, and your five idle Pokémon on the 
right side of the screen. Here, you can swap in and out various Pokémon (into 
and out of battle), view their summaries, stats, et cetera, and decide what 
course of action to take with what Pokémon in this battle. Do note that when 
you swap in a Pokémon in battle, that is essentially your turn in the battle, 
meaning you won't get to attack for that turn. This assumption is void if one 
of your Pokémon is slain in battle, in which case you get to freely replace 
him with another Pokémon from your party. 

Run: Selecting the Run command will allow you and your party of Pokémon to 
flee from battle. The weaker the enemy is compared to your party, and the 
slower the Pokémon is, the better your chances of escaping from battle. 
Remember, selecting Run isn't foolproof, and it's actually quite a bad idea 
to run from battle, as you don't get the experience points for your Pokémon 
necessary to make them grow in strength so that you can fight stronger 
Pokémon, fight stronger Gym Leaders, and get more Badges. You cannot select 
run during trainer battles.

|                      --- 4.03 Catching Pokémon ---                  (0403) |
O============================================================================O

One of the main things in the game, next to badges, is catching pokemon. 
Without catching pokemon there won't be such thing as a pokedex. So that's 
why I put this in the FAQ.

The art of capturing Pokémon is a no-nonsense craft that you will need to 
master if you ever hope to capture Pokémon. Different Pokémon have different 
resistances to being captured, as some are incredibly easy to capture, while 
others are next to impossible to capture. However, there are certain things 
that you should keep in mind. 

1.) Weaken the Target Pokémon - Trying to capture a full-health Pokémon and 
make him your own is next-to-impossible, and it shouldn't be attempted. Why? 
Because you'll miss, and you'll waste a Pokéball in the process. What you'll 
want to do is weaken your Pokémon as much as you can. You can weaken him to 
50% to make him vulnerable to capture, but lowering him to as low as 10%-15% 
is the best thing to do. Usually, when you encounter a Pokémon you want to 
capture, you'll want to switch out the Pokémon you currently have and put in 
your weakest party-ready Pokémon. This is so you don't kill the Pokémon 
before you capture it. Chip away at the Pokémon's health slowly, but surely. 
When the Pokémon gets to around 25% health, you can start throwing Pokéballs 
at it. If you miss, try again. If you miss again, weaken the Pokémon more, 
and when he's literally next to death, try again. You should capture it. If 
not, you might have encountered a strong-resistance Pokémon, or a rare 
Pokémon that'll need a stronger type of Pokéball to capture. And on that 
note... 

2.) Use the Right Pokéball - The standard Pokéball will capture a vast 
majority of the Pokémon, as long as you've weakened them enough and tired 
them out. For some Pokémon, however, a stronger ball will be needed, such as 
a Great Ball or Premier Ball, amongst others. Don't waste these stronger 
Pokéballs, however. Try your regular Pokéballs several times, try weakening 
the enemy more, and try capturing it again before you waste a more powerful 
ball. 

3.) Be Patient - If you kill a Pokémon when you're attempting to capture it, 
don't fret; it happens. With rare exceptions, you'll get the chance to 
capture that Pokémon again. Just simply run around the area where you 
originally ran into it, and chances are you'll run into it again. As a last 
resort, check out the entry for that Pokémon in your Pokédex to find more 
locations on where you can find that Pokémon, as well as more vital stats and 
information that might be of assistance in capturing that Pokémon. Exhaust 
all options before simply giving up on capturing a particular Pokémon! 

4.) Once Captured, Don't Neglect! - Some Pokémon might not look like much. 
Some might not even have any attacks. But use that Pokémon in battle 
(switching it out after the battle starts if you have to, to get it half of 
the battle's experience) and build it up. Eventually, these weak Pokémon 
evolve into Pokémon that are so incredibly strong that it'll amaze you. 
That's why they're weak to begin with - they are meant to turn the player off 
from them so that they miss a Pokémon with incredible strength. Don't make 
that mistake, try to use all of your Pokémon fairly evenly and experience 
what each one brings to the table.

So this is the section where the pokemon things you need to know are. You 
should take alook if your a beginner and all the pokemon basics are in here.

|                    --- 5.01  Status Conditions ---                  (0501) |
O============================================================================O

Special and status-altering attacks can cause a variety of conditions. Items 
must be found or purchased to combat these conditions. Here is a quick 
breakdown of what they do:


Burn: Lose HP during battle for the duration of the Burn status. Also reduces 
Attack. 

Confuse: Confused Pokémon have a 50% chance of causing damage to themselves 
by accident. Automatically cured after battle. 

Fainted: When your HP are 0, the Pokémon faints and can no longer attack. 
However, special HM techniques like Cut still work outside of battle. 

Flinch: If a Pokémon flinches after getting hit, it can't attack for that 
round. 

Freeze: Frozen Pokémon can't attack until they're unfrozen (through Fire 
techniques or items). 

Paralyze: Paralyzed Pokémon experience a radical drop in Speed while the 
effect lasts. Their attacks will also fail half of the time. 

Poison: Poisoned Pokémon lose HP every turn in battle. This condition will 
not end after battle and the Pokémon will continue to lose HP with every four 
steps you take. 

Sleep: A sleeping Pokémon cannot attack. It will wake up on its own after a 
few turns.

|/  \_|================================================================|_/  \|

Be aware this was written for Fire Red, and there may be some minor changes
from Fire Red to Leaf Green.

As you begin by selecting new game, all the controls in the game will be 
presented to you. Concluding that, Prof. Oak will begin giving his long, 
boring, unnecesary speech. You will be then given the option to name both your
rival and yourself. (I called myself Harison since my real name won't fit)
After all this you will finally begin your journey and you will be in your 
house in pallet town.


O============================================================================O
|                        --- 6.01 Pallet Town ---                     (0601) |
O============================================================================O

As you start you quest, you will be in your room. Go to your PC at the top 
right of your room and take the out the potion out. Just Log on and click 
your PC. Select "Withdraw Item" and click on Potion to take it out. Log out 
and head out your room. When your down stairs and exit your house to wind up 
in Pallet Town.

Go north to a little opening in the trees and walk in the grass area to start 
a cutscene with professor Oak. He'll begin talking about you needing a 
pokemon for protection. He will then lead you to his lab and when you head in 
you'll see your rival standing there complaining. Prof. Oak will then give 
you a choice of choosing your starter.

Who will you choose as your starter? Bulbasaur - the grass type, Squirtle - 
the water type, or Charmander - the fire type. This decision will make a huge 
difference in your gameplay. Choose with precaution. I will make a breif 
rundown of all 3 starters to help you choose.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bulbasaur ~ Level 5
=-------=
Evolutions: Ivysaur (Level 16) > Venasaur (Level 34)
Bulbasaur is the Dual Type of the 3 starters. He is grass/poison type. He 
should be used by beginning players. He has strengths against the first,
second, and eigth gyms, and he is resistance against the third, fourth, and 
six gym, and only has weakness to the fifth and seventh gym. Easy, like I 
said.

Squirtle ~ Level 5
=------=
Evolutions: Wartortle (Level 16) > Blastoise (Level 36)
Squirtle is the water type of the trio. He should be used by intermidiant 
players. He has advantages against the first, seventh, and eigth gyms, but 
has weaknesses to all but the fifth gym. Whoa. Still, he can get you to the 
point where you can catch some decent pokemon for the gyms, like pokemon that 
are the type weak against the gym type.

Charmander ~ Level 5
=--------=
Evolutions: Charmeleon (Level 16) > Charizard (Level 36)
He is the Fire type starter of the game, duh. He is a difficult Pokemon to 
use. Seeing as he is hard to use in the first Gym, it will be hard to 
progress early in the game. He only has strengths against the forth gym, and 
has weakness to the First, Second, and Eigth gyms. He should be used by 
advanced or expierenced players. Your choice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I chose Charmander for no real reason, I just like using him. After you 
choose your starter, your rival will choose the pokemon type stronger than 
yours. So if you chose Charmander, he chose Squirtle, if you chose squirtle, 
he chose bulbasaur and if you chose bulbasaur, he chose Chamander. Try to 
exit the Lab and you will be stopped by your rival and be forced to battle 
your first battle.

| Pretty easy. As you begin your battle, Prof. Oak will guide you through    |
| the battle and give you info and such. Your pokemon has two moves, just    |
| keep using the damaging one and if your HP hits the yellow, heal with your |
| potion I said to get. You gain a level for winning as well as cash. Losing |
| will give you nothing nor lose anything.                                   |
|                                                                            |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

After defeating him, he will act as if he won and leave. You leave as well, so
exit the lab. Head north where Proffeser Oak stopped you. You can now continue
on with your quest with your new pokemon.


--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
  | |                           - Route 1 -                              | | 
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

.--------------,----------,------------.------------------.
| Pokemon Name | FireRed  | LeafGreen  | Items on Route 1 |_________________
 >-------------+----------+-----------<`------------------| Potion          |
| Pidgey       | Common   | Common     |                  '-----------------'
| Ratatta      | Common   | Common     |
| Weedle       | Uncommon | Uncommon   |
| Caterpie     | Uncommon | Uncommon   |
'--------------'----------'------------'

Nothing much do do in Route 1. You can get a potion on this route. Just talk 
to the guy standing around, he is the only one so you'll find him. As you 
probably noticed you can't catch pokemon yet since you don't have any 
pokeballs. I would strongly suggest to battle the wild pokemon here for EXP 
and train up to level 8 at least. It will be very helpful for the future and 
you'll be greatful you did. 

If your wondering about those jagged rocks on the side of the route, they can 
be jump downedwhen your coming from Viridian City back to Pallet Town. No, 
you can't jump over them when you are going to Viridian city, only the other 
way. Continue on.

--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
  | |                        - Viridian City -                           | | 
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

First things first, head into the Pokemon Center. It has a Red Roof, so 
that's how you know. Just head in and talk to the nurse behind the counter. 
She will not only heal your pokemon HP but also it's PP and any status 
condition for free! Yes for free! 

If you take the elavator stairs up, you'll wind up in the Cable Club floor. 
This place is trading, chating, battling, mixing records and more. You have 
to use a link cabe or Wireless Adapter to do all these things. For more info, 
the lady there will speak to you about this floor.

If you go back down, on the top right corner you will see a PC like in your 
room. In the PC you can store and withdraw pokemon, store and withdraw items, 
and contact Prof. Oak  for him to rate your pokedex and alot more. 

After you heal, exit the pokemon center and head to the pokemart in the 
north. It is the blue roof top to be excact.  Head in and the clerk will 
speak to you and tell you to deliver a Parcel to Oak from the pokemart. I 
guess we have to. Recieve the parcel and exit the mart.

Go back to Pallet town through route 1. For a faster route, jump down from 
the rock ledges and you'll avoid all that grass. 


--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
  | |                          - Pallet Town -                           | | 
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

.----------------------.
| Items in Pallet Town |_________________
'----------------------| Pokedex         |
                       | World Map       |
                       '-----------------'

Alright, just a couple of things to do here. We have to deliver the Parcel to 
oak so go to his lab. Speak with him and give him the parcel. Your rival will 
come and Prof. Oak will give you both a Pokedex each. That's all so head out. 
On your way out, Oak's aid will give you 5 free pokeballs. Free. Exit.

On your way to route 1, head into your's rival's house. Talk to his sister 
Daisy there and she'll give you a World map to view well, the world. Exit and 
go to Viridian City through Route 1 up, through the grass. =(


O============================================================================O
|                        --- 6.02 Viridian City ---                   (0602) |
O============================================================================O

.----------------------------.  Remember when we came to Viridian city and got
|   Viridian City Pokemart   |  the Parcel, well north of this town there was
 >--------------------------<   a man blocking the way to get to route 2. Now
| Pokeball...............200 |  he has moved and we can go through. We need
| Antidote...............100 |  to go through route 2 to get to our next dest-
| Paralyze Heal..........200 |  ination, which is Pewter City. There we could
| Burn Heal..............250 |  get the first badge of the game.
'----------------------------'

First things first, we need to stock up on Items. The first thing you should
get is another 5 pokeballs. I would suggest buying to 2 Antidotes and 1 
Paralyze Heal. You won't get burned by any pokemon for a while, so no Burn
Heals. Get that out of the way and exit the mart.

On the top of the city is a Gym, sadly it's closed and it will saty like that
until the near the end of the game. There is a potion behind the tree next
to the guy that was blocking your way to route 2. Go west of the pokemon
center and then up at a opening at the top. Head threw the narow path and get
the potion. 

So now you can catch pokemon, so why don't you? I would recommend catching a
pidgey if you didn't get a charmander. You could catch a rattata if you want
but he wont last on your team. If caught a pokemon, train to around level 8 or
so. If you didn't catch a pokemon yet, there is more on Route 22. It is west
of Virirdian city. Go over there for more pokemon and something else...


--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
  | |                           - Route 22 -                             | | 
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--

.--------------,----------,------------.-------------------.
| Pokemon Name | FireRed  | LeafGreen  | Items on Route 22 |_________________
 >-------------+----------+-----------<`-------------------| None           |
| Rattata      | Common   | Common     |                   '-----------------'
| Mankey       | Uncommon | Uncommon   |
| Spearow      | Rare     | Rare       |
'--------------'----------'------------'

Now you can catch a mankey, a good fighting type or a spearow another Flying
type that learns different moves. If you really want a figthing type on your
team then get mankey. I really didn't catch any pokemon that will be on my
final team, but I caught some to help me later...

Head through the grass patch, and then west. Your bad ol' rival will appear.
He'll talk about the league and how he can't get in. After talking you'll end
up battling him.

| Your rival is harder than last time. considering the level change. He now  |
| has a Pidgey in the same level his starter is. He will start off with      |
| Pidgey, and will use mostly sand attack a couple of times then attack      |
| which will get annoying. Defeat it with any pokemon, perhaps your starter. |
| Upon defeating him, he will send out his starter. What really sucks now is |
| that his starter now knows his special attack move to defeat your starter. |
| I would suggest using the other pokemon that you caught, since he won't be |
| weak against it. Use the free potion you got from the guy in Route 1 or    |
| the one you found in Viridian City. If you lose this time, you will lose   |
| half of your money so come prepared.                                       |
|                                                                            |
