4) Walkthru
-----------
This walkthrough will get much more detail when the english version
releases. If names of people/places are wrong, they'll be fix when the
english version comes out.
1)You have to keep fighting to get new cards.
2)Adjust your deck's cards as you go along your journey.
3)Always save your game where ever you go.
Your journey starts at the middle of the island. You go to Pro. Oak's lab
after you start the game. Pro. Oak introduce you to Mika (?). You play your
first game with him. He tells you what to do so just follow him. After you
beat him (you always do), Pro. Oak tells you to chose a deck. There are 3
decks here, each of them has a starting Pokemon in them. One has Squirtle,
the other has Charmander, and the other one has Bulbasaur. Chose anyone
you want because it just doesn't matter. Go to the Thunder Club to get you
first badge.
When you first go inside, battle the guy at the left side first because he's
the easiest to beat. After you beat every player, he/she gives you 2 booster
packs. Try to get a better deck before you go on to the next. Fight him
about 2-3 times to get more card for now. When you get enough cards to make
deck 1 (see deck section to find out what's deck 1), Go on and fight the
next player at the right side of the room. The Girl in the middle is the
hardest to beat out of all 3. After you beat the all three players about 2
times, is time to get your first badge. The Club Leader should not be hard
to beat. Beat him and get Electric Badge. Your next destination is the Stone
Club.
You can get some better cards at this Club. Really, it doesn't matter where
you are, what matter is that what booster packs you get, but if you want
rare cards like Mewtwos, you'll have to fight a lot just to get one. The
first Mewtwo I ever got was from the 4 Club Leader. You don't have to fight
the other players before you fight the Club Leader, if you got the stuff, go
straight for him. The chance you can beat him is 50-50%. I suggest you beat
the other player in the Club first since you'll need the new cards. If
you're with me, then I suggest you have Deck 3 to beat him easily. After
you beat him you get a Stone Badge and 2 Boosters. By now, you should have
a pretty good deck and at least 200+ cards. Now go to the Water Club.
Here you'll find players with decks that has a LOT of Horsea. If order to
fight the Leader you must talk to the Guy that's stopping from going to the
Leader. When you go past him without beating him, you will get stopped. Beat
the Leader and get Water Badge from her. Go to the Psychic Club after.
The Leader here is very tough. You might want to Battle the others first and
get a good deck or maybe you won't be able to beat him. No matter how
many times you try, you still can win. I beat him with a deck of Psychic
and Fighting Pokemon along with some Colorless. After you beat him, you
should have 4 badge or more. You still have 4 more badge to get.
Go to the Fire Club after beating the Psychic Club. Go and fight the Leader
of the Club. Beat him and get a Fire Badge. You should talk to all the
people in clubs so you can fight the Fighting Club Leader.
More coming...
