Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow (Game Boy) Walkthrough - Part 1

'''This is the Pok émon Red, Blue and Yellow walkthrough! Note: Pokémon will vary within these three games. '''

Starting the Game Boy.
Place the cartidge in the Game Boy and turn the Game Boy on. After the intro, press A or START. You have the choices of.. NEW GAME and OPTION (If you saved before, it will say CONTINUE.) Choose NEW GAME with A.

Naming Time!
Now our buddy Professor Oak appears. He introduces you to Pok émon and their world. He'll ask your name and choose any name you'd like. Here are default names, like the original Ash. (Yellow is the same for each) Choose you name and press START or END in the bottom right corner. Now your rival is here.... what's his name? You can name him too. Then we are here at Pallet Town.

Pallet Town
We were playing a SNES (I hope he was playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!). Now here are the controls. So then head to the PC on the left corner. This PC holds extra items. Your backpack can carry 20 items, and the PC can carry 50 at once. (Nice, huh?) Press A. The PC has a item a Potion. Like in The Legend of Zelda, potions heal, but here, it's not you, but your Pok émon can get healed. So save and you can leave and turn the Game Boy off, and do something or whatever. If not, you can talk to your mom, and she watches TOO MUCH TV. She tells you Professor Oak waits for you. Head through the mat here and here we are in Pallet Town. It is very, very, very, very, very........ ......very, very tiny. The one on the left is yours, next to your's is you rival's, and the big 'old one is Professor Oak's lab. Talk with people if you'd like, because Oak is not home, so head to the grass and become the world's best....... Professor Oak appears. He tells  you can't go alone. So..... he'll offer you a Pok émon. Head to his lab. After talk, choose your Pok émon. (If you are playing Yellow, it will be Pikachu. Pikachu will NOT go into Pokeballs. He will follow you around)
 * D-Pad: Move. Simple.
 * A: Do actions.
 * B: Leave the menus and cancels stuff.
 * START: Enter the menu.

The Three Choices
There are three Pok émon to choose from. There is... Bulbasaur, Charmader and Squirtle. Now your rival will pick the Pok émon with the one with the type advantage to yours. (In Yellow, your rival chose a Eevee. Leave, but then your rival wants a battle! Its time for action!
 * Bulbasaur is beginner's choice. It can do the Pewter, Cerulean and Viridian gyms without looking.  But it can be stuck in Saffron and Cinnabar gyms and can be poisoned.
 * Charamader is advanced and most difficult. This is perfect for a challenge but will be hard in the Pewter, Cerulean and the Viridian gym. It is only impossible to defeat in Celeadon Gym.
 * Squirtle is a perfect Pok émon for regular Pok émon trainers. The Pewter, Cerulean and Viridian gyms is no match for this Pok émon and can defeat it with ease. But it's movepool is very weak, and may have trouble with the Pok émon in the Cerulean Gym.

First Battle (Blue and Red)
If you chose Bulbasaur...

If you chose Charmander...

If you chose Squirtle...

''' At any point you are low on health, drink a potion. If chose Bulbasaur, you have the choices of Tackle and Growl and I reccomend Tackle. If chose Charmader, there is Scratch and Growl, and I reccomend Scratch. If chose Squirtle, you have Tackle and Tail Whip, and I reccomend either. If you win, your rival will give 175 It dosen't matter if you lose. If you won, you should be on Level 6.

First Battle (Yellow)
Pikachu has Thundershock and Growl. The most effective way is to use Thundershock every time, Eevee can do Tackle and Tail Whip. At any point you are low on health, drink a potion. If you win, your rival will give you 175. It dosen't matter if you lose. If you won, you should be on Level 6.

Route 1
Leave Oak's lab and head to the grass to the north. Talk to the first person you see, and he works at the Pok é Mart. He'll offer you a free potion. Keep heading up. You will encounter 2 Pok émon, Pidgey, and Rattata. (in all games) Run away, because you don't have any Poké Balls. You can also train here. If your Pok émon is weary, return to Pallet Town, head to your house, and your mom can heal them or head to Pok émon Center in Viridian City. (Note: If you get encountered by Pok émon, you can run away.) Train to Level 9 or more because the gym is in this next city. Sure, it's boring, but it'll be worth it. Head all the way up Route 1.

Chapter 2 - Viridian City and Back Home
Yellow Story The gym leader has left town, and the gym is somehow closed.

Blue & Red Story
Nothing right now.

Pokemon Center (All games)


The Pok émon Center will heal your Pok émon. Just enter, talk to the nurse, choose HEAL, and wait. Also check the PCs out. There are three people here, and just give tips. (Only Red and Blue) A old man and girl in the north will NOT let you pass by.

Pokemon Academy (Yellow Only)
Here is the school of Pok émon. Notice on the chalkboard you can learn status ailments of Pok émon.

Poké  Mart (All games)
The Pok é Mart is just behind the Pok émon Center. Here is our task. Enter and talk to the man at the counter. He'll ask if you are from Pallet Town (yes, we are) and give you a parcel to deliver to Professor Oak. Also, you can't buy anything from here. So leave the Pok é Mart. Head through Route 1. Head to Pallet Town.

Back Home
Once in Pallet Town, head to Professor Oak's lab. In Yellow, once in, your rival starts yapping about his Pok émon and how they have grown. Be quiet, will ya? In Red and Blue, he just comes in. Once you delivered the parcel, Oak will give you BOTH a Pok édex. He says he has to fill the Pok édex as he did it as a child. In the whole game, there is 150 Pok émon. Your rival says he dosen't need your help (duh) and he'll get a Town Map and to tell his sister not to give you one. Leave and head to your rival's house. Her sister, Daisy, will actually give you a Town Map! Too bad Blue-head, your rival, dosen't have one.
