Revision as of 21:51, 8 September 2009

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Red and Blue Versions. This walkthrough follows the original Game Boy version, not Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The guide for those can be found here.

Starting Out

Turn the Game Boy on, and--well, let's begin! After the intro, press A or Start on the title screen and you'll see the main menu.

You should be able to select from New Game and Option. (You may have Continue as a selection; this is if you have already started and saved a game on this cartridge.)

Moving the cursor to Option and pressing A will show three topics. You don't need to touch them, but I recommend putting the Text Speed to Fast. Go down to Cancel and press A, and you'll be back on the main menu. Select New Game and press A.

And... Professor Oak appears! He briefly introduces the world of Pokémon and the Pokémon themselves. But you know all this, right?

Name Selection

When he asks you for your name, you can chose from:

  • (New Name)
  • BLUE or RED (Corresponding to the version you are playing on.)
  • GARY or ASH
  • JOHN or JACK

If you don't want any of the preset names, go to New Name and press A. Here it's a simple case of moving around to the letter you want and pressing A to select it. To remove the last letter, press B. Once you're done entering your name, select ED in the bottom right corner.

Now you are introduced to your rival! Choose his name in the same way, and you'll be teleported off to Pallet Town!

Your House

You start the game in your bedroom, sitting in front of a SNES. Now it's time to get accustomed to the controls:

  • D-Pad (Arrows) - These will move your character around. Go on, try it! They will also move your cursor around in menus.
  • A - This is the games all-purpose "do" button. It will let you talk to people, push buttons, search things and a whole load of other stuff.
  • B - Cancels selections and lets you exit menus.
  • Start - The Start button will open the in-game menu for you.

The PC in the top-left corner of your room has some purpose. Move in front of it, face it, and press A.

Your PC is your item-storage system. You can only hold 20 items in your backpack, so if you have too many you can put them in your PC. The system is simple: if you want to store an item, choose Deposit Item and select an item. If you want to retrieve an item, choose Withdraw Item and then select an item. Finally, if you want to get rid of an item permanently use Toss Item and select the item to remove. Your PC can hold a maximum of 50 items.

Your PC already holds an item, a Potion. Select Withdraw Item and hit Potion x1. You're asked how many to withdraw. Since there's only one Potion, you may just hit A.

Now how do we get out of menus? Hit B a few times and you'll be sitting in your bedroom.

In-Game Menu

Maybe it would be a good idea to save our game now. So with nothing selected, press Start.

Most of the items are self-explanatory. For now, select Save, the game will ask you if you are sure you want to save, select Yes. Once it is done saving and the menu has disappeared, the game is saved. You could then turn off the Game Boy and continue from exactly from this point later on.

Enough of this, let's go downstairs. Walk on top of the stairs in the top right corner of the room.

When downstairs, you see your Mom sitting at the table. If you talk to her, you'll find that she watches too much television, and that apparently Oak has been looking for you.

To get out of your house, there is a mat at the door. Simply walk right through it and--welcome to Pallet Town!

Pallet Town

File:Palletrby.PNG
Pallet Town

Pallet Town a rather boring, quaint town, having only three houses. The house you just came out of is yours, the one to the right of that is your rival's house, and the big building is Professor Oak's lab. You can walk all around town and talk to everyone, but Oak will not appear. Looks like there's nothing else to do but leave town, so walk to the tall grass north of Pallet Town and...

Busted!

Oak appears! He must have been hiding behind one of the signs or something.

Anyway, apparently, it's dangerous to be walking in the tall grass because Pidgey could gnaw our faces off at any moment. According to Oak, people without Pokémon are hermits who never see the outside world. Either way, this deluded old man wants to offer us a Pokémon. Once you're in control of yourself, it's time to decide which Pokémon you're going to start with. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, and some are more of a challenge than the others. So, take a look at your options, and pick the Pokémon that's right for you...

Bulbasaur - Grass / Poison -type

Bulbasaur is perfect for beginners. It can easily mop up Gym #1, #2 and #8, while at the same time having a resistance to the Pokémon in Gyms #3, #4 and #6. Two of its only real problems are the fifth and seventh Gyms, but at that point in the game you should have some great Pokémon to back him up. Its evolutions are top-notch.

Charmander - Fire-type

Charmander is the most difficult Pokémon for beginners to use, since it is weak against the first two and the final Gym Leaders, while only having a type advantage against Gym #4. His last evolution, Charizard, is noted for being quite powerful, though it has a bit of bad weakness with his Fire-type.

Squirtle - Water-type

Squirtle is the second-easiest to train. It can defeat Gyms #1, #7 and #8 easily, so it destroys the tougher opponents. However, Squirtle's movepool is relatively limited, and it may have trouble against the second gym.

Once you have chosen a Pokémon, it's your rival's turn; he will always choose the Pokémon that is strong against yours. When you try and walk away, he will battle you! Time to get ready for your first battle, trainer.

Battle: Rival

First Battle!

If the player chose Bulbasaur:



If the player chose Charmander:



If the player chose Squirtle:



When battling, you'll each send out your Pokémon; they are Level 5, which is shown by the :L5 aside each Pokémon. Under that is the health bar, showing each Pokémon's remaining HP. You win a battle when you take all of your opponents Pokémon down to 0 HP; you will lose the battle if all of your Pokémon reach 0 HP.

Choosing Fight will allow you to choose an attack to use against your opponent. Your Pokémon will have two attacks regardless of who you chose. The first one with hurt the enemy, and the other one will lower one of the enemy's stats. Keep using the attacking one, which will be either Tackle or Scratch. If your Pokémon starts to lose a lot of HP, you could use that Potion we got out of the PC earlier; go to Item and it will bring up a list of the items you are holding. You only have a Potion, so select it and then select your Pokémon.

This is the same way you use the Item menu when you're not in a battle.

Once you have defeated your rival, you will get $175, and he will leave. (Don't worry if you didn't win the battle, you won't lose any money from it, and practice makes perfect anyway.)

If you win the battle, your Pokémon will gain enough experience to grow to level 6.

Now leave Oak's lab and head north from Pallet Town, and you'll be in Route 1.
