Introduction ======================================================================================================== The first question is whether you want to be a boy or a girl. The top one is boy, the bottom is girl. After that, they will ask you the hour, starting at 10 in the morning, going up till later in the day. Then, you can name your character. The top choice is free form naming, otherwise you can pick one of three names. ======================================================================================================== b. Game Introduction ======================================================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Wakaba Town~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Go down the stairs, and talk to your mom. She will have you choose what day it is. She gives you the pokégear as well. Then go outside, and go to the house to your left. You will go up to Professor Utsugi and have a long conversation. He'll ask you a yes/no question(I answered yes), and then you can pick you starter pokémon. Starting from the left, they are Hinoarashi(fire), Waninoko(water), and Chikorita(grass). Once you choose the one you want, you will be asked a yes/no question(yes is the one on the top and no is the one on the bottom), asking you if you want to rename you pokémon. Then Your starter pokémon will always have an acorn equipped on it. This means that when it gets to low life, it will restore 10hp to your pokémon. Then he will talk some more, and point out the machine that can be used to restore your pokémon's HP. When you try to leave Utsugi's place, one of his assistants will stop you, and give you a potion. Leave the town and continue west onto Route29. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Route 29~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you go up and to the right of the area after the first patch of grass, you will find a pokéball containing two potions. Eventually you will come to an area with a boy and a strange plant. There will be an acorn inside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Yoshino Town~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the entrance to the city there will be an old man. If you talk to him and answer yes to his question, he will give you a tour of the city. Don't pass him up though, he gives you the map when he's done! No pokéballs in the shop yet, but the order of items from top to bottom is: (and I forget the names of most of these items)Potion, Antidote, ParalyzeCure, SleepCure. When you're done in the city, head up into Route30. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Route 30/31~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inside the plant is another acorn. The man in the house will give you another acorn. The pokéball above the acorn man's house has an Antidote in it. Go up to the right side. At the second fork, either path will get you to your destination. Inside the plant is nut that auto-heals poison. Professor Oak and a man in a suit are inside, and you have a long conversation with them. You will get the pokédex. Now go back to the town, but before going to Route29, make sure you healed your pokémon. Having your pokémon at level 8 or so will be helpful, too. When you enter Route29, you will fight your rival. He has a level 5 of whichever starter pokémon has the type advantage over yours. Easy fight. Go through Route29 to the town you start in, and go into Prof. Utsugi's house. There will be a policeman talking to Utsugi, and you will find out that your Rival got his pokémon by stealing it! The policeman will ask you the name of him, as well. When you try to leave, the assistant will stop you again, and give you 5 pokéballs. Now go back to Route29. ======================================================================================================== c. Gym #1: Flying Gym ======================================================================================================== When you leave the small path between town and Route29, a trainer will come up to you and ask if you want to know how to catch pokémon, or something along the lines. If you say yes, he will show you. You don't seem to get any items out of this. Continue going through Route29. Remember, you can catch pokémon now if you wish. Go through the town, use the pokécenter if you need to, stop by the shop if you want(they're selling pokéballs now), and go up through Route30. When you get to the fork in the road, this time take the left path. There is a trainer there. He has a level 4 Koratta(Rattata). Another trainer. He has a level 2 Pidgey and a level 4 Koratta. Trainer #3: Bug Catcher. He has 2 level 3 Caterpies. At the top of Route30, you get to Route31, where there is a cave. Next to the cave is a pokéball with a potion inside. To the left is a plant with a nut inside that I beleive automatically wakes you up if you fall asleep. Continue on Route. Trainer #4: Bug Catcher. He has 3 level two Caterpies and a level 3 Weedle. Below him is a pokéball with a pokéball inside. Continue to the left. You will get to the third town. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Kikyou Town/GYM #1: Flying Gym~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, a gym to test your skills! Gym Trainer #1: Bird Trainer. He has a level 9 Spearow. This will be a tough gym if you chose Chikorita. Gym Trainer #2: Bird Trainer. He has 2 level 7 Pidgeys. Gym Master #1! He has a level 7 pidgey, just for warm-ups. Time for his level 9 Pidgeotto! Don't get cocky with this guy and try and beat him with low or same level pokemon of types that are weak to flying(bug, grass, ground, etc.) When you beat him he will give you TM31 and the Zephyr badge. TM31 contains Mudslap, which reduces accuracy and causes damage. It is ? type. Congratulations! You got your first badge in Pokémon Crystal! Go to the pokécenter and heal your team. Talk to the scientist at the desk. He'll give you a Togepi egg. It will hatch after about 1000 steps. ======================================================================================================== d. Gym #2: Bug Gym ======================================================================================================== Now go down towards Route32, stopping along the way to pick up what I beleive is a paralyzecure nut. Continue down to Route32. Make sure to stop and talk to the boy along the way, he will give you an item to attach to a pokémon. More on what this is later. Keep going down, until you get to the second boy. Trainer #5: Trainer. You can go around him if you want to, but I would fight him if I were you, for the experience and the money.

She will give you a antidote-nut. There is a pokécenter here. Go inside and talk to the man in the safari gear, and answer yes to his question. He will give you the fishing rod.

I'm not sure what kind it is. Now you can access the gym. Also, if you try to leave, your rival will come up and challenge you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~GYM 2: Bug Gym~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the bug gym. It's pretty easy, even more than the first. The first trainer that you fight is GYM Trainer #3: Twin Trainers. You fight both of the two little girls at once. They have a level 10 Itomaru(Spinnorak) and a level 10 Ladyba.

You get $192 from him. Now on to the GYM Leader! GYM Master #2: Tsukushi! She has a level 14 Metapod, a level 14 Kakuna, and a level 16 Scyther. Pretty easy, all three. Use anything level 17 or higher, unless it's weak to poison. Use you starter, should work pretty well. Scyther might be a problem. If your main pokémon starts getting weak, switch to another and use it's turns to heal yours, and wait till it dies to bring out your main one. This way, you don't have to have your main pokémon get a cheap shot by Scyther, plus it gets all the experience.
