Viridian City
-----------------------------------------------
In nearly every city there will be two
essential buildings, firstly, a
Pokemon Center, where you can fully
heal all your Pokemon by talking to
Nurse Joy inside. It also has a Cable
Club to battle your friends, and a PC
in the top right hand corner where
you can store Pokemon and Items.
Secondly, a PokeMart, where you can
buy essential items.
Market:
www.psypokes.com/frlg/images/mart.png In this walkthrough, the first thing I
will list are the items you can get at
that city's PokeMart and the items'
costs.
Viridian City PokeMart
Item Cost
Pokeball 200
Potion 300
Antidote 100
Paralyz Heal 200
The first thing to do in Viridian City
is to heal your Pokemon at the
Pokecenter. Then go to the
PokeMart. You can't buy anything
yet, instead the assistant shouts out
asking if you know Professor Oak,
and asks you to take him Oak's
Parcel. So head south, via Route 1,
to Pallet Town, and enter Oak's Lab
and talk to him. When returning via
Route 1, you can follow the yellow
road and jump over the ledges
avoiding a lot of grass if you wish.
Oak will give you and your Rival a
Pokedex each, and this will allow you
to catch the first 150 Pokemon! He
will also give you 5 Pokeballs to help
you get started. Now head into the
house above the Laboratory, which is
your Rival's house. Talk to his sister,
and she will give you a Town Map.

www.psypokes.com/frlg/images/map.pngNow head back up to Viridian City,
on the way you can catch Pidgey and
Rattata if you wish. Ignore the water
encounters listed above and below,
these are for when you return later
in the game. When you arrive in
Viridian, stock up on any items you
may need, especially Pokeballs. It is
very useful to catch Pokemon now, as
some events later in the game rely
on the number of Pokemon you have
caught. Be sure to always carry a
decent number of Pokeballs in case a
new Pokemon shows up. Below are
the water encounters for Viridian
City.
Viridian City Wild Pokemon
Pokemon Method Rate
Psyduck Fish (Super Rod) 5%
Poliwag Fish (Super Rod) 40%
Poliwhirl Fish (Super Rod) 40%
Slowpoke Fish (Super Rod) 5%
Gyarados Fish (Super Rod) 15%
Psyduck Surf 100%
Slowpoke Surf 100%
As mentioned above, you can't get
these Pokemon yet, these ratios are
for when you return later in the
game. The guy standing in front of
the Gym will not move until later in
the game, so just ignore the Gym for
now. Another important thing to
note is you can now unlock the
Mystery Gift system in the Pokemart,
by filling in the clipboard on the
counter inside. If you enter the
words "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL" it
will unlock Mystery Gifting at the
startup screen. You use the Mystery
Gift to obtain special items from
Nintendo Events . That's about it for
Viridian City, so let's head west onto
Route 22.
Route 22
-----------------------------------------------
Route 22 Wild Pokemon
Pokemon Method Rate
Psyduck Fish (Super Rod) 5%
Poliwag Fish (Super Rod) 40%
Poliwhirl Fish (Super Rod) 40%
Slowpoke Fish (Super Rod) 5%
Gyarados Fish (Super Rod) 15
Psyduck Surf 100%
Slowpoke Surf 100%
Rattata Walk 45
Spearow Walk 10%
Mankey Walk 45%
In the grass on Route 22 are the
Pokemon above. Catch these if you
want, but make sure you don't leave
the grass. Ensure you are fully
healed and stocked up on items
before heading above the grass.
Doing so will trigger a battle with Your Rival
Rival Battle
If you chose: Bulbasaur |
Charmander | Squirtle
Pokemon Level Type
Pidgey Level 9 Normal/Flying
Charmander Level 9 Fire
Money Earned: P144
This time he's a little tougher. If
you are finding this battle very
difficult you should train a bit more,
or read on, go to Viridian Forest,
catch a Pikachu, train it, come back
and use Thundershock to defeat
Pidgey. If you lose, you will lose half
your money, this is the same any
time you "black out". After beating/
losing to your Rival, head to the
upper right part at the start of the
area, go to the tree and press A, and
you will find a Potion. Anytime you
see a Pokeball laying around, it will
be an item for you to pick up.
Continuing along this path leads to
a dead end, as it leads to Victory
Road and the Elite Four. This is the
end of the game and can't be
reached until you get all 8 Gym
Badges. So return to Viridian City
and head north. On the exit of
Viridian is a man who shows you
how to catch a Weedle. After he's
done explaining he will give you a
Teachy TV. You can use the Teachy
TV to explain anything you don't
understand in the game. It's like a
tutorial machine, and Poke Dude
explains everything to you.
