Appendix:Red and Blue walkthrough/Section 9: Difference between revisions

<center> ''This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, '''not''' {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. <br> The guide for those can be found '''[[Appendix:FireRed and LeafGreen walkthrough|here]].''''' </center>

 

{{ci|Celadon}} is the second-largest city in the region, and it's got plenty going on to live up to the hype. All Trainers should be sure to visit the [[Celadon Department Store]], since it has the best selection of any Poké Mart. The [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] is a hotel-of-sorts, and the [[Game Freak|current tenants]] are none other than the team that developed Pokémon. The [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] houses the slot machines, and all those coins can be redeemed for valuable prizes in the Prize Corner next door. In addition, Celadon is also home to the [[Celadon Gym]], nestled on a ledge in the southwest.

The tall building in the north of town is Celadon Mansion. On the third floor, Game Freak's game designer promises a reward to Trainers with a completed [[Pokédex]], and there's a new addition nearby.  Clear a spot in your party, follow the path behind the Poké Center, and pass through the break in the trees to sneak inside the Mansion's back door. Take the stairs to the top floor and inspect the Poké Ball on the table to find an {{p|Eevee}}, the only one of its kind. Eevee is an [[Eeveelutions|extremely versatile creature]]; it evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} when it encounters the radiation from a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, or {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, respectively. These [[Evolutionary stone|stones]] are readily available at the Department Store, and any form will be a great asset, especially since they can cover the weaknesses of the {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Kanto|starter}}'s final form.

{{shopfooter|multiple=yes}}

 

The evolutionary stones are on sale here. Pick up any but a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Leaf Stone}} for your new {{p|Eevee}}, and grab a [[Poké Doll]] too; it may not sound like much, but it will be important in [[Saffron City]] a little later.

{{shop|Generation I}}

{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Thunderstone|2100}}|{{shopitem|Water Stone|2100}}}}

 

 

Each of the vending machines dispenses three kinds of [[Drink|beverage]]; {{DL|Drink|Fresh Water}} for {{pdollar}}200, {{DL|Drink|Soda Pop}} for {{pdollar}}300, and {{DL|Drink|Lemonade}} for {{pdollar}}350. The little girl nearby doesn't have any money with her, and would happily repay your kindness.  Give her a Fresh Water to get {{TM|13|Ice Beam}}, a Soda Pop for {{TM|48|Rock Slide}}, and a Lemonade to get {{TM|49|Tri Attack}}.

While you're here, snag an extra drink for the [[Saffron City]] guards.  You may want to stock up on Lemonade as well; each drink restores a Pokémon's health, but Lemonade is the most potent.  At {{pdollar}}350, it is half the price of a {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}, and it restores an extra 30 HP.

=== No Loitering! ===

If you haven't noticed already, there are two members of [[Team Rocket]] hanging around the city.  Their mere presence means that you'll probably need to thwart some great plan of theirs sometime soon...

Stop in the café on the south side and talk to the guy at the back table.  He lost all of his money at the slots, and can't wait to be rid of his {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Coin Case}}.  This lets you start collecting coins for all those rare prizes!

Next door to the café is an operation that is currently shipping 2000 Pokémon as slot prizes to the Game Corner every month. Those kinds of numbers mean big money, which means that it's got Team Rocket's name written all over it. Whatever their master plan is, as one worker quickly points out, it ''surely'' has nothing to do with a hidden switch behind a poster in the Game Corner.

All the prizes here are offered at extremely high prices, so you will need a huge supply of coins to get everything. Check along the ground to find a few coins, and talk to the other gamblers to get a few more. After that, either buy them (50 coins for {{pdollar}}1000) or take your chances on the slots. Some prizes are {{p|Dratini|extremely rare}}, while others are {{p|Porygon|one-of-a-kind}}.

At first glance, nothing seems out of the ordinary, but there's something unsettling about the guy glaring at the poster.

He runs off, leaving the poster exposed. Hit the switch to reveal a stairway to the right, and descend into the gang's hideout.

[[Team Rocket]]'s operation is headed by a shadowy figure known as [[Giovanni]]. This mob boss is in possession of the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Silph Scope}} prototype, which can identify the ghosts back in [[Pokémon Tower]]. Track him down to recover the prototype, and force the gang out of the city.

Talk to him after the battle, and he's so upset that he drops the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Lift Key}}.  Now climb back to B2F and spin through the maze one last time to reach the elevator in the southeast.  Ride back down to B4F to reach the east side.

When you exit the elevator, go west to find an {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}. Take out Giovanni's guards, then step inside to confront the criminal mastermind.

After the battle, Giovanni and the other Rockets disappear.  Pick up the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Silph Scope}} that he left behind; now you can climb to the very top of [[Pokémon Tower]].  Take the elevator up to the 1st floor, and beat one last Rocket on the way out.

The [[Celadon Gym]] is one of the easiest to defeat, since the {{type|Grass}}s here have so many weaknesses to exploit.  Challengers can either scorch them with {{type|Fire}} attacks, or peck them apart with {{type|Flying}} moves.  Since all but the lone {{p|Exeggcute}} are part-{{t|Poison}}, {{type|Psychic}} moves are a viable alternative.  Don't forget about the little girl's [[TM13]]!

Defeating the [[Celadon Gym]] earns you the {{badge|Rainbow}}, which commands all Pokémon up to level 50, and enables the use of {{m|Strength}} outside of battle.  [[Erika]] also gives out {{TM|21|Mega Drain}}, a {{type|Grass}} move that damages the opponent while restoring the user's health.

 

Now you can finally leave Celadon.  Bring along that extra [[drink]] and head east to {{rt|7|Kanto}}.  Step inside the [[gate]], and the guard stops you. He automatically sniffs out the drink, and since he'll share it with the other three guards, you are now free to come and go through [[Saffron City]].  The Saffron Poké Mart offers the powerful {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}}, and it may be a good idea to buy a few for the haunted tower.  Ignore the rest of the city for now, and continue east to [[Lavender Town]].

 

[[File:Pokémon Tower purified zone RBY.png|thumb|Visit 5F for a quick rest.]]

 

The {{type|Ghost}}s here are totally immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves, so avoid bringing Pokémon that rely on those attack types.  Catch a few of the local species, then spray on the {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}} and make your way to the top of the tower.  One of the Channelers on 5F has not been possessed by the ghosts, and maintains a healing area with her white magic. This zone will revive and restore your team to full health. Oh and your rival awaits you on 2F.

 

Now this is the point where your rival's team will start to vary depending on what your starter was, other than his own starter. Your rival obtained Pokémon of types that allowed him to have a team with {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Fire}}, and {{type|Water}} Pokémon, making his team more balanced. Your rival will have two of these three Pokémon: {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gyarados}}. The one that your rival doesn't have is of the same type as his starter, so that he doesn't have two Pokémon of the same type. Oh and he got rid of his {{p|Raticate}}, which is good because that thing's {{m|Hyper Fang}} was annoying to deal with.

 

His {{p|Pidgeotto}} is the same as before, just of a different level and it gained {{m|Whirlwind|a move that can't be used in a trainer battle}}. His Growlithe is fairly weak at this point; just use a super-effective move or take it out with a strong Pokémon. Exeggcute can be a pain to deal with because of its sleep-inducing {{m|Hypnosis}} but its {{m|Barrage}} is weak so try to take it out with a super-effective move before it puts you to sleep. Gyarados can be tough to take out due to its lack of weaknesses and its high {{stat|Attack}} stat that could deal serious damage to your Pokémon so either use an {{type|Electric}} or {{type|Rock}} move, which are the only two moves that can penetrate through Gyarados's dual-type defense, or send out one of your bulky Pokémon to take out this aggressive sea serpent. Your rival's starter got some boosts in level as well and it learned stronger moves so use your Pokémon that has some moves that can inflict super-effective damage, which you hopefully have by now.

As you approach the stairs leading to the top floor, the [[Ghost (literal)|one true ghost]] attacks.  The Silph Scope activates, revealing a level 30 {{p|Marowak}}.  This would otherwise be a great addition to the Pokédex, but this spirit can't be caught.  Once the battle is over, the mother Marowak's spirit is calmed, and departs to the afterlife.  Take the stairs to the top floor, right into a group of Rockets.
