Getting Started 
Okay,
first of all when you start a new game, you get to choose a name, for example,
ASH. You can even type in your own name! It doesn't matter
at all though what name you pick. After that, you pick your opponents
name. Now, first, go downstairs and out the door and start heading
north. You will see a path covered in grass. Walk into it.
As soon as you do, Prof. Oak will appear and take you to his lab.
He will ask you to choose one of three Pokemon to start out with.
Don't choose any quite yet, but instead press "A" on each Pokeball.
On each one it will ask if you want to choose that Pokemon. Say no
to each one. Than pick the Pokemon that you like best! In this
case, choose BULBASAUR. You're probably asking me "Why?" Well
the reason is that BULBASAUR is of the grass type, which has stengths against
rock and water type Pokemon, which are the type of Pokemon that the first
two gym leaders have. Anyhow, after you choose, you will have to
fight your rival who will always have the oppostite type Pokemon from yours.
In this case, he will have Charmander. In this first fight, it is
a pretty even match, but later let me warn you, he will be the #1 weakness
of your lead Pokemon. Anyhow, it doesn't matter if you lose.
After the battle make your way to Viridian City (The first town.
Also, If you encounter any Pokemon you can't catch them yet so you're betteroff
fighting them to gain experience.) Then go to the building with the
sign that says Mart on it (Short for Pokemart.) Talk to the clerk
and he will give you a package for Prof. Oak. Go bck to Pallet Town
to Prof. Oaks Lab and deliver the package to him. He will then give
you and your rival a POKEDEX. Okay, now go back to Viridian City
and go back to the Pokemart. Finally the time you've been waiting
for, Pokeballs! Buy five Pokeballs and two Antidotes. Then
go the way you came here from Pallet. Catch one RATTATTA and one
PIDGEY. Then go to Viridian city and take the small path to the west.
(It's a path to the Pokemon League) along the path catch a SPEAROW.
BATTBLE: When you
encounter a Pokemon, to catch it, you must weaken it first. So in
this start-off get the Pokemon you want to catch's life down to about half
at least before attempting to catch it by clicking ITEMS and then clicking
POKEBALL. Then try to raise each Pokemon in your inventory's levels
evenly by giving them each a turn in battle and then using your lead Pokemon
to finish it off. Then
go to Viridian Forest and fight all three of the trainers there.
Then use the same strategy as before to catch a CATERPIE and a WEEDLE (not
a KAKUNA because he will have no attacks and it's easier to evolve your
WEEDLE at level 7). If any of your Pokemon get poisoned by them use
an antidote. Now when you emerge from Viridian Forest you will be
in Pewter City, where you will face your first gym leader, Brock.
DEFEATING BROCK:
The easiest way to defeat Brock is to have all of your Pokemon at least
at level 13. It might be tough to get them to that level, but with
a lot of exp. it CAN be done.
Brocks Pokemon-
GEODUDE Lv. 12
ONIX Lv. 14
If you defeat Brock, he
will give you the BOULDER BADGE, your first badge.
CONGRADULATIONS!
You're taking your first
step in becoming a Pokemon Master!
My Pokemon line-up in the
game for gameboy (red version) is:
