• Pallet Town, Route 1



Starting The Game


Welcome to the world of Pokemon on Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen. This is a remake of the original Pokemon RPGs, so many things are alike. The game starts with a cool intro that is almost exactly like the intros in the original games. It then prints instructions on which buttons does what. After reading what the game has to say, you’ll see Professor Oak (Prof. Oak from now on), talking about Pokemon. He first wants you to know if you’re a boy or a girl, and then allows you to choose your name. Then you’ll choose your rival’s name. After a bit of talking with the Professor, you’ll find yourself in your bedroom in the peaceful Pallet Town.

The first thing you want to do is go to your PC at the top-left hand corner of your room and take out the Potion. This restores 20 HP, and will be helpful real soon as you’re about to find out. Go downstairs, talk to your mom, and go outside. Go north into the grass area. Prof. Oak will come to tell you that it’s dangerous to go on without a Pokemon. He’ll take you to his lab, where your rival (known as Gary from now on) is waiting. He asks you to choose a Pokemon. Go to the table with the three PokeBalls and choose the Pokemon of your choice.


Choose Your Pokemon

#001: BULBASAUR (Grass)
A cute little frog-like Pokemon that can launch powerful attacks. This is the best choice for beginners, as it can take on the Pokemon in the first four Gyms easily.
#007: SQUIRTLE (Water)
A turtle loaded with gallons of water. The level of difficulty of choosing Squirtle is medium. It has certain advantages in the beginning, but begins to have disadvantages faster than Bulbasaur.
#004: CHARMANDER (Fire)
Little fire-breathing salamander. The hardest Pokemon to choose because of the many disadvantages in the beginning. However, it will become very powerful later on.


Each Pokemon has its own advantages in the game, so choose wisely. It is suggested that beginners choose Bulbasaur, since it’s a Grass-type and is strong against the Pokemon in the first Gym, which are Rock-type. After choosing your Pokemon, Gary will come over to the table and choose his Pokemon, which will have an advantage over your Pokemon. For example, if you were to choose Bulbasaur, Gary will choose Charmander. He’ll talk to you afterwards, and as you leave, he’ll challenge you to your first battle.

Be careful during this first battle, as Gary’s Pokemon is stronger than yours, even though you both have lv. 5 Pokemon. The Potion may come in handy now. During this battle, you’ll constantly be interrupted by Prof. Oak’s tutorials. The good thing about this battle is that you get some money if you win, and your Pokemon’s level is instantly raised to 6.

Now leave the city and go North into Route 1 and towards Viridian City.



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


Route 1

Try to level up in this route. When you get damaged, be sure to either go back to your house for a free healing from your mom, or to the Pokemon Center in the next city. Talk to the first person you see for a free Potion. Sooner than you think, Route 1 is coming to an end.

Locations (Route 1)
Pidgey
Rattata

• Viridian City, Route, 22, Route 2, Viridian Forest
The First City

The first thing to do at Viridian City is to go northwest into a narrow corrider. You’ll find an Itemball there which contains another Potion. There’s not much to do in this city right now. Go to the PokeMart now, and the salesclerk will give you Oak’s Parcel for Prof. Oak. Note that you cannot purchase anything for now.

There isn’t much else to do in Viridian City. After you get Cut later in the game, you can cut a tree in the southeastern part of the city to get to a fat guy. He’s a Move Tutor, and will teach your Pokemon Dream Eater. But you don’t have to worry about that now. For now, go back to Pallet Town. For a quicker way to get across Route 1, you can jump over the ledges to avoid wild Pokemon.




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


Back In Pallet

Once you’re back in Pallet Town, go to Prof. Oak in his lab, and hand him the Parcel. Gary will come in the lab again. Prof. Oak will then give both of you PokeDexes, essential tools to identify Pokemon. Prof. Oak will then give you five PokeBalls for you to catch Pokemon.

Leave the lab and go to Gary’s house, which is the one that’s right next to yours. You’ll find Gary’s sister, Daisy, sitting at the table. Talk to her and she’ll give you a Town Map. After that, it’s time to leave Pallet Town forever (well, not really) and head to Viridian City.






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


Battle On Route 22

Go west once in Viridian City to get to Route 22. Here, you’ll be able to fight Gary once more. His Pokemon (two of them now) are a little tougher than before, so be careful when you battle him! The good thing is that you gain a lot of experience points after battling his Pokemon.

Locations (Route 22)
Caterpie
Pidgey
Rattata
Weedle



After the intense battle, you may buy things at the PokeMart or heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. After making sure that your Pokemon are at least lv. 10, head north towards Route 2. Before you go there, an old man will first show you how to catch Pokemon. After catching a Weedle, the old man will give you something called the Teachy TV. Watch it when you need answers and help with certain things.






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


Route 2/Viridian Forest

Route 2 is quite short, and cannot be fully accessed until later in the game when you have the Cut HM. After walking in Route 2 for a while, you’ll soon reach the Viridian Forest, a maze of trees full of bug Pokemon and a few trainers hoping to battle you. It takes a while to get through this large forest, as many trainers and wild Pokemon are itching for a fight. This is when a Charmander, Pidgey, or Spearow comes to good use. After catching a few bug Pokemon (and maybe even a Pikachu), finding a few items, and having a few intense battles, you’ll arrive in Pewter City.
