6) WALKTHROUGH 
===============
This section contains the walkthrough obviously.

As before, when you start a new game, Prof. Oak will give you an intro 
to the game. Then pick your name and your Rival's name. I'll put Gary 
as the Rival.

-----------
Pallet Town
-----------
Pokemon:
#025 - Pikachu

Items:
Potion

  When the game first begins, turn on the PC in your room and withdraw 
the Potion. Exit the house and try to exit Pallet Town. Prof. Oak 
stops you and a battle will begin. Oak uses a Poke Ball and captures 
the wild Pikachu. Then he takes you back to his lab. 
  The Prof. let's you take the Poke Ball containing Eevee, but Gary 
just shoves you out of the way. He takes and you get the Pikachu. Now 
try to leave the lab, and Gary challenges you. I find this battle much 
easier than the one in Red/Blue. If you win, you get some money, and 
your Pikachu gains a level. Pikachu comes out of his Poke Ball, and 
Oak will comment that it dislikes being in the Ball. Try "talking" to 
Pikachu to check his condition. Now you can go north to Route 1.

-------
Route 1
-------
Pokemon:
#016 - Pidgey
#019 - Rattata

Items:
Potion
  
  You can only train your Pikachu here. Talk to the first guy you see 
to get a free Potion. Keep going up to reach Viridian City.

-------------
Viridian City
-------------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
Oak's Parcel

  Enter the Poke Mart, and clerk will hand you a package that you have 
to deliver to Prof. Oak. So head back to Pallet...

-----------
Pallet Town
-----------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
Pokedex
Town Map

  Go into the lab and give him the package. Then he will give Gary and 
you a Pokedex. Even though Gary says his sister won't give you a Town 
Map, go into his house. Talk to his sister to get the map. Now go back 
up to Viridian City.

-------------
Viridian City
-------------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
None

  Now you can buy items at the Poke Mart, so get about 5 Poke Balls. 
Go to Route 1 and capture a Pidgey and Rattata. You can go west of 
Viridian City to Route 22, but it's optional.

--------
Route 22
--------
Pokemon:
#021 - Spearow
#029 - Nidoran (F)
#032 - Nidoran (M)
#056 - Mankey

Items:
None

  Yes, you can find a Mankey this early in the game. Capture the 4 new 
Pokemon here. You have probably ran out of Poke Balls by now, so go 
back and get 5 more. Then that should be all you need for now. If you 
try to go west, Gary will pop up and challenge you to another fight.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRAINER: Gary
REWARDS: $280
POKEMON: L9 Spearow & L8 Eevee

Spearow is a piece of cake with Pikachu. Two Thundershocks should take 
him down. Eevee might be a problem, so use Thunderwave if your Pikachu 
has it. 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now go to Viridian and go north to Route 2.

-------
Route 2
-------
Pokemon:
#016 - Pidgey
#019 - Rattata
#029 - Nidoran (F)
#032 - Nidoran (M)

Items:
None

  Nothing to do here. Go up to Viridian Forest.

---------------
Viridian Forest
---------------
Pokemon:
#010 - Caterpie
#011 - Metapod
#016 - Pidgey
#017 - Pidgeotto

Items:
Poke Ball
Potion (x2)

  And you can also find a Pidgeotto very early in the game. I haven't 
seen any Weedles/Kakunas here so I can assume they're not in Yellow. 
Anyway, capture a Caterpie, collect the items, and defeat the 
Trainers. I would recommend that you try to raise your team of Pokemon 
to about L10. It's a good idea to have low-level Pokemon fight wild 
Metapods because they can't harm you (all they know is Harden). Once 
you get through this forest, you will end up at Pewter City.

-----------
Pewter City
-----------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
None

  The main objective is to go to the Gym and beat Brock. I would 
recommend getting a Butterfree and train it so it learns Confusion. 
You can also use Mankey. So head to the Gym and talk to the Leader.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRAINER: Brock
PRIZES: $1188, Boulder Badge, & TM 34
POKEMON: L10 Geodude & L12 Onix

If Pikachu doesn't have Quick Attack, don't bother using him for this 
fight. Use Butterfree's Confusion, and you won't have much of a 
problem winning. Another strategy is to capture Mankey and raise him 
to L10. Then use the Low Kick ability. Either way, it'll be an easy 
match.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

-------
Route 3
-------
Pokemon:
#019 - Rattata
#021 - Spearow
#027 - Sandshrew
#056 - Mankey
#129 - Magikarp

Items:
None

  This is obviously a good place to train because there are a lot of 
Trainers here. Once you get through all of them, you'll find the grass 
area. Just capture a Sandshrew. If you check out the Pokemon Center, 
one of the people there will be selling a Magikarp. I wouldn't 
recommend getting one now because you can easily another one later. 
Then continue on to find the entrance to Mt. Moon. 

--------
Mt. Moon
--------
Pokemon:
#027 - Sandshrew
#035 - Clefairy
#041 - Zubat
#046 - Paras
#074 - Geodude

Items:
Potion (x2)
TM 01
TM 12
Rare Candy
Escape Rope
HP Up
Moon Stone (x2)
Ether

  You have a bunch of new Pokemon to catch here. You'll find Geodude 
and Zubat often, but it will take a while before you encounter a 
Clefairy or Paras. If you just want to get through this place, go down 
the ladder in the upper-left corner of the floor. 
  Keep going until you reach the Fossils. There you have to fight a 
Super Nerd. He has a L12 Grimer, L12 Voltorb, and a L12 Koffing. Use 
Butterfree and Geodude, and you shouldn't have a problem. Once you 
defeat him, you choose either a Helix Fossil or a Dome Fossil. It 
doesn't really matter now which one you pick. Attempt to continue on, 
and you'll have your first fight with Jessie and James...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRAINER: Jessie & James
REWARDS: $420
POKEMON: L14 Ekans, L14 Meowth, & L14 Koffing

As you can tell, they use their "trademark" Pokemon. For Ekans, hit 
with Butterfree's Confusion. Since Meowth's attacks are Normal-type, 
use Geodude so that they do little damage. And again, use Butterfree 
against Koffing. 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  Now continue on to exit Mt. Moon.

-------
Route 4
-------
Pokemon:
#019 - Rattata
#021 - Spearow
#027 - Sandshrew
#056 - Mankey

Items:
TM 04

  Nothing much to do here. Just grab TM 04 and go east to Cerulean.

-------------
Cerulean City
-------------
Pokemon:
#001 - Bulbasaur

Items:
None

  If you enter the building to the left of the Pokemon Center, there 
will be a woman inside with some other Pokemon. Talk to her, and say 
yes to get the Bulbasaur. I think your Pikachu must be happy for that 
to work, but I'm not sure.
  You can go directly to the Gym and fight Misty or you can fight the 
Trainers north of here for some EXP. If your Pikachu isn't at least 
L18, trainer him. Remember not to get its Level over 20 or it won't 
obey you!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRAINER: Misty
REWARDS: $2079, Cascade Badge, & TM 11
POKEMON: L18 Staryu & L21 Starmie

Because Pikachu has a low Defense, you should be bring a couple of 
Potions if needed. Keep using Thundershock until they go down. 
Starmie's Bubblebeam can easily take out Pikachu, so make sure you 
bring out Pokemon at least L15. Butterfree is good for this fight 
because of its Sleep Powder attack. 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  The next place to head is north to Route 24 & 25...

-------------
Route 24 & 25
-------------
Pokemon:
#004 - Charmander
#016 - Pidgey
#043 - Oddish
#048 - Venonat
#069 - Bellsprout

Items:
Nugget
TM 45

   When you try to go north, Gary will walk up to you. Make sure your 
Pokemon are at L15 or higher before you head up.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRAINER: Gary
REWARDS: $595
POKEMON: L18 Spearow, L15 Sandshrew, L15 Rattata, & L17 Eevee

Use Pikachu's Thundershock for Spearow. Geodude works well for the 
other because their attacks are Normal-type.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  Gary mentions about Bill and his storage system. So you're next stop 
is Bill's House. But before you can reach him, you have to fight the 
Trainers on "Nugget Bridge". Here's what they use:

Trainer #1 - L14 Caterpie & L14 Weedle
Trainer #2 - L14 Pidgey & L14 Nidoran (F)
Trainer #3 - L14 Rattata, L14 Ekans, & L14 Zubat
Trainer #4 - L16 Pidgey & L16 Nidoran (F)
Trainer #5 - L18 Mankey
Rocket - L15 Ekans & L15 Zubat

  Once you beat the 5 Trainers, you get a Nugget. But then you have to 
fight a the Team Rocket member. Use Confusion to beat him.
  Yes, you can get Charmander here. One of the characters says he 
should release his Charmander. When he says if you'll take care of 
him, say yes, and you'll get it. Catch a Venonat, Bellsprout and 
Oddish and go east. There you'll find a bunch of Trainers. You have to 
fight some of them in order to continue on. Go keeping until you find 
a house.

---------------------------------
Sea Cottage (a.k.a. Bill's House)
---------------------------------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
S.S. Ticket

  When you first enter, Pikachu runs up to a Pokemon with has a "?" 
balloon above his head. Talk to the Pokemon to find out it's actually 
Bill. After he enters the machine, use the PC to get him back to 
normal (Pikachu makes a nice face after you do that). He'll give you 
the S.S. Ticket as a reward. 
  Exit the house and re-enter it. This time, turn on the PC. You can 
get a Pokedex picture of Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. 

-------------
Cerulean City
-------------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
TM 28

  Once you get back here, you can now enter the house where a TM was 
stolen. Exit the house through the hole to the north. Outside will be 
a TR member. Defeat him to recover TM 28, Dig. Now head south to Route 
5.

-------
Route 5
-------
Pokemon:
#016 - Pidgey
#019 - Rattata
#039 - Jigglypuff
#063 - Abra

Items:

  If you want to fight Pokemon in this area, go down the path with the 
fence things. The main creature to capture is Abra since he will be 
your first Psychic Pokemon.
  At the end of the Route is the Pokemon Daycare Center. Go past that 
to find 2 buildings. Enter the small building with a sign in front of 
it. 

----------------
Underground Path
----------------
Pokemon:
None

Items:
Full Restore

  Nothing much about here. Near the staircase you go down is a hidden 
Full Restore. Just press A a bit, and you should eventually get it. 
Continue south to Route 6.

-------
Route 6
-------
Pokemon:
#016 - Pidgey
#019 - Rattata
#039 - Jigglypuff
#063 - Abra

Items:
None

  There are a couple of Trainers here if you need to build some 
levels. When you're ready, go south.

--------------
Vermilion City
--------------
Pokemon:
#007 - Squirtle 

Items:
Bike Voucher
Old Rod

  Near the Poke Mart is a woman who caught a Squirtle that was roaming 
around. She says it needs a good trainer to set it straight. You can 
only get this Squirtle once you defeat Lt. Surge, so don't worry about 
it now.
  To get the Bike Voucher, enter the building right above the Gym. In 
this building is the Pokemon Fan Club. Go inside and talk to the 
club's president. Listen to his story about Rapidash, and he'll give 
you the voucher. Now head back to Cerulean City's Bike Shop to get the 
bike.
  In the building to the left of the Pokemon Center is the Fishing 
Guru. Talk to him and say you like to fish. He'll then give you the 
Old Rod.
  Once you're done looking around, head south to the S.S. Anne.

         ~ The rest of this Walkthrough is coming soon! ~
