{{ci|Cherrygrove}} is the first city that you'll encounter in the region that has a [[Pokémon Center]] and a [[Poké Mart]].  Pokémon Centers are essentially hospitals where your creatures can be restored to perfect health. The PC at the rear wall is always available for Trainers to organize their Pokémon and items.  Poké Marts offer a wide range of items for sale, from Potions to Poké Balls.
[[Cherrygrove City]] is a small city between {{rt|29|Johto}} to the east and {{rt|30|Johto}} to the north. The air is filled with the smell of flowers and the salty sea breeze.

=== City Tour ===
===City Tour===
Talk to Guide Gent at the east entrance to get a {{DL|Cherrygrove City|City Tour|tour}} of the city. After a quick jog through the city, he gives you the {{DL|Pokégear|Map|Map Card}} to add to your Pokégear. This acts as the [[Town Map]] from [[Generation I]]. To use it, press Start, select ''Pokégear'', and move the cursor to the map icon.
An elderly man known by his nickname, Guide Gent, can be found on the east side. Speak to him to be taken on {{DL|Cherrygrove City|City Tour|a tour}} of the city. He points out the [[Pokémon Center]], the [[Poké Mart]], the path to {{rt|30|Johto}}, and the sea, before ending the tour outside his home. Afterward, he gives you a {{DL|Pokégear|Map|Map Card}} to add to your Pokégear. This expansion card acts as a [[Town Map]], allowing you to view the entire region. It even displays your current location!
 
===Pokémon Center===
The first building you will see is the [[Pokémon Center]]. This Pokémon hospital will heal your team to full health and eliminate any status ailments they may have. Each facility also has a PC for Trainers to use, where they can access their Pokémon storage and item storage. As Trainers may only carry six Pokémon with them at once, any others are immediately transferred to storage upon capture. It is a good idea to heal up and save your progress whenever you find a Pokémon Center.
 
===Poké Mart===
Another shop sits to the west of the Pokémon Center. This is the local [[Poké Mart]]; these stores offer a variety of Poké Balls, Potions, and other items. It is helpful to stock up on supplies whenever possible, as there is no telling what you may run into on your journey.

In the southern house is a man who is knowledgeable about the healing properties of Berries and Berry trees, so stop in to get a free {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}}. Check the tree outside for another, and continue north.  A Pokémon battle blocks the main road, preventing anyone from reaching [[Violet City]] for now.  Trek through the tall grass on the eastern path to reach [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.  Check his tree for a {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|PSNCureBerry}}, and head inside.
Running north from [[Cherrygrove City]], {{rt|30|Johto}} is a grassy path where many novice Trainers like to battle. The road diverges as it moves northward; the eastern branch leads to a clearing with [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, while the western branch leads uphill to {{rt|31|Johto}}. A battle between Pokémon Trainers initially blocks the western path.

[[File:Mr Pokémon GSC.png|thumb|left|Mr. Pokémon's house]]
===Mr. Pokémon's house===
=== Mr. Pokémon's house ===
Visit the house in the northeast clearing to meet [[Mr. Pokémon]]. He recognizes you right away as an associate of [[Professor Elm]], and gives you the [[Mystery Egg]]. He says that he obtained the Egg from a couple who runs a [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Elm is the authority on Pokémon [[evolution]], which is why he contacted him about the Egg, and even Mr. Pokémon's guest agrees. The man introduces himself as [[Professor Oak]], and notices that Elm entrusted you with your [[first partner Pokémon]]. Seeing that you are dependable, Oak decides to give you a [[Pokédex]]. This handheld device is a high-tech encyclopedia that records data on every Pokémon you encounter, and will be complete when you catch a member of every species. Oak then leaves for his radio show in [[Goldenrod City]]. Speak to Mr. Pokémon to have him heal your Pokémon before you leave.
When you walk inside you'll see that he has another guest, who happens to be [[Professor Oak]] from the [[Kanto]] region.  Mr. Pokémon gives you the {{key|II|Mystery Egg}} to take to Professor Elm, and Oak gives you a [[Pokédex]]. The professor rushes off, and Mr. Pokémon heals your Pokémon before you leave.


Professor Elm calls when you step outside, obviously in a state of panic. Hurry back to New Bark!
===A Terrible Tale===
When you step back outside, [[Professor Elm]] calls in a state of panic. He is too upset to describe what has happened, so hurry back to [[New Bark Town]] to investigate!

===Ambush!===
On your return trip through Cherrygrove, {{ga|Silver|that mysterious guy}} that was spying on Elm's lab ambushes you, forcing you into a battle.  It turns out that he swiped one of Elm's Pokémon from the lab. Whichever you chose, his Pokémon will always have a type advantage against yours, though at such a low level it is not much of a threat.
When you reach the east side of [[Cherrygrove City]], {{ga|Silver|the young, red-haired man}} that was spying on {{prof|Elm}}'s Lab ambushes you. He knows that you received a Pokémon from the Lab, and calls it a waste for a wimp like you to have one of Elm's rare Pokémon. It turns out that he also has a Pokémon, and draws you into battle.


{| align="center" style="vertical-align: top;"
===Rival Battle 1===
! {{MSP|152|Chikorita}} Player chose {{p|Chikorita}}:
When battling, each Trainer sends out one Pokémon at a time; both of these particular Pokémon are on [[Level]] 5, indicated by the '':L5'' aside each Pokémon. Below that is the health bar, which shows the Pokémon's remaining {{stat|HP}}. A battle is won or lost when either side has no remaining Pokémon with the strength to continue.
! {{MSP|155|Cyndaquil}} Player chose {{p|Cyndaquil}}:
 
! {{MSP|158|Totodile}} Player chose {{p|Totodile}}:
Choosing ''Fight'' will allow you to launch an attack against the target. Both combatants have two moves. The first will damage the opponent, and the other will lower one of its stats. If your Pokémon's HP runs low, be sure to use a Potion. Go to ''Pack'' to select the medicine and apply it to the Pokémon. If it is holding the Berry from {{rt|29|Johto}}, it will automatically consume the item when its HP falls below 50%.

== New Bark Town ==
Once you have defeated {{ga|Silver|him}}, you earn a cash reward of {{PDollar}}300, and he will leave. The encounter earns your Pokémon valuable [[Experience|Experience Points]], as well. Continue on to Elm's Lab.
When you return to New Bark, the police are questioning Professor Elm in his lab.  After speaking with the officer—and naming {{ga|Silver|your rival}} as the culprit—talk to Elm to deliver the {{key|II|Mystery Egg}}. He is shocked to see the discovery, and promises to call you if he learns anything about the Egg. On your way out the door, his assistant hands you five {{ball|Poké}}s to use on your journey. Now that you've got your first supply, you are free to buy them in most Poké Marts.
 
==New Bark Town==
===Professor Elm's Lab===
Back in [[New Bark Town]], you return to the laboratory to find a police officer questioning the professor. One of his [[First partner Pokémon|rare Pokémon]] was stolen by {{ga|Silver|a young man with long, red hair}}! Upon hearing that you battled a Trainer matching this description, the officer asks if you happened to catch his name. As with the [[player character]], the [[rival]]'s name may be up to seven characters long. Once the officer leaves, speak to [[Professor Elm]] to deliver the [[Mystery Egg]]. He is shocked by the discovery, and is pleased to hear that [[Professor Oak]] gave you a [[Pokédex]]. He suggests taking the [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] challenge, with the nearest one being located in [[Violet City]]. The road to becoming a [[Pokémon Champion]] will be a long one, so he advises you to stop at home before setting off.
 
On your way out the door, Elm's aide hands you five {{i|Poké Ball}}s to start you on your journey. From this point on, you are able to purchase them for yourself in most [[Poké Mart]]s.
 
===Home===
====Safeguard Your Savings====
Speak to {{jo|Mom}}, who is excited to see your new Pokémon. Realizing that you are headed off on an adventure, she offers to save your money for you. If all of your Pokémon faint during battle, you will [[black out]] and lose some of your money, but anything left with Mom is safe. If you accept her offer,  25% of the prize money won from each battle will automatically be sent to her. Money can be deposited with or withdrawn from her at any time. Once enough has been saved, she will occasionally call to say that she has bought [[decoration]]s or other items, then apologizes for spending the money she is saving. Each item can only be obtained once.

=== Mom Saves Your Money ===
Stop back home before you leave town again.  Talk to your Mom, and she'll offer to save your money for you.  When all of your Pokémon faint during battle, you lose half of your money, but any money that Mom has is kept safe.  She'll sometimes buy a random item for you from your savings; it may be medicine like a Potion, or a stuffed doll to decorate your room.  You can change whether she saves your money or not by phone as well.


With Elm's errand complete, the Pokémon battle on Route 30 will have concluded, so you can finally continue on to [[Violet City]]. Go north from Cherrygrove and follow the western path.
By the time you deliver the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Professor Elm]], the Trainer battle that blocked {{rt|30|Johto}}'s western branch has ended. Continue north from [[Cherrygrove City]] to reach {{rt|31|Johto}}.

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Gold and Silver.
These pages follow the original Game Boy Color iteration, not Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The guide for those games can be found here.


Cherrygrove City

Cherrygrove City
The Pokégear's Map

Cherrygrove City is a small city between Route 29 to the east and Route 30 to the north. The air is filled with the smell of flowers and the salty sea breeze.


City Tour

An elderly man known by his nickname, Guide Gent, can be found on the east side. Speak to him to be taken on a tour of the city. He points out the Pokémon Center, the Poké Mart, the path to Route 30, and the sea, before ending the tour outside his home. Afterward, he gives you a Map Card to add to your Pokégear. This expansion card acts as a Town Map, allowing you to view the entire region. It even displays your current location!

Pokémon Center

The first building you will see is the Pokémon Center. This Pokémon hospital will heal your team to full health and eliminate any status ailments they may have. Each facility also has a PC for Trainers to use, where they can access their Pokémon storage and item storage. As Trainers may only carry six Pokémon with them at once, any others are immediately transferred to storage upon capture. It is a good idea to heal up and save your progress whenever you find a Pokémon Center.

Poké Mart

Another shop sits to the west of the Pokémon Center. This is the local Poké Mart; these stores offer a variety of Poké Balls, Potions, and other items. It is helpful to stock up on supplies whenever possible, as there is no telling what you may run into on your journey.



Route 30

Route 30
Mr. Pokémon's house

Running north from Cherrygrove City, Route 30 is a grassy path where many novice Trainers like to battle. The road diverges as it moves northward; the eastern branch leads to a clearing with Mr. Pokémon's house, while the western branch leads uphill to Route 31. A battle between Pokémon Trainers initially blocks the western path.


Mr. Pokémon's house

Visit the house in the northeast clearing to meet Mr. Pokémon. He recognizes you right away as an associate of Professor Elm, and gives you the Mystery Egg. He says that he obtained the Egg from a couple who runs a Pokémon Day Care. Elm is the authority on Pokémon evolution, which is why he contacted him about the Egg, and even Mr. Pokémon's guest agrees. The man introduces himself as Professor Oak, and notices that Elm entrusted you with your first partner Pokémon. Seeing that you are dependable, Oak decides to give you a Pokédex. This handheld device is a high-tech encyclopedia that records data on every Pokémon you encounter, and will be complete when you catch a member of every species. Oak then leaves for his radio show in Goldenrod City. Speak to Mr. Pokémon to have him heal your Pokémon before you leave.

A Terrible Tale

When you step back outside, Professor Elm calls in a state of panic. He is too upset to describe what has happened, so hurry back to New Bark Town to investigate!

Cherrygrove City

Ambush!

When you reach the east side of Cherrygrove City, the young, red-haired man that was spying on Elm's Lab ambushes you. He knows that you received a Pokémon from the Lab, and calls it a waste for a wimp like you to have one of Elm's rare Pokémon. It turns out that he also has a Pokémon, and draws you into battle.

Rival Battle 1

When battling, each Trainer sends out one Pokémon at a time; both of these particular Pokémon are on Level 5, indicated by the :L5 aside each Pokémon. Below that is the health bar, which shows the Pokémon's remaining HP. A battle is won or lost when either side has no remaining Pokémon with the strength to continue.

Choosing Fight will allow you to launch an attack against the target. Both combatants have two moves. The first will damage the opponent, and the other will lower one of its stats. If your Pokémon's HP runs low, be sure to use a Potion. Go to Pack to select the medicine and apply it to the Pokémon. If it is holding the Berry from Route 29, it will automatically consume the item when its HP falls below 50%.

Once you have defeated him, you earn a cash reward of $300, and he will leave. The encounter earns your Pokémon valuable Experience Points, as well. Continue on to Elm's Lab.

New Bark Town

Professor Elm's Lab

Back in New Bark Town, you return to the laboratory to find a police officer questioning the professor. One of his rare Pokémon was stolen by a young man with long, red hair! Upon hearing that you battled a Trainer matching this description, the officer asks if you happened to catch his name. As with the player character, the rival's name may be up to seven characters long. Once the officer leaves, speak to Professor Elm to deliver the Mystery Egg. He is shocked by the discovery, and is pleased to hear that Professor Oak gave you a Pokédex. He suggests taking the Pokémon Gym challenge, with the nearest one being located in Violet City. The road to becoming a Pokémon Champion will be a long one, so he advises you to stop at home before setting off.

On your way out the door, Elm's aide hands you five Poké Balls to start you on your journey. From this point on, you are able to purchase them for yourself in most Poké Marts.

Safeguard Your Savings

Speak to Mom, who is excited to see your new Pokémon. Realizing that you are headed off on an adventure, she offers to save your money for you. If all of your Pokémon faint during battle, you will black out and lose some of your money, but anything left with Mom is safe. If you accept her offer, 25% of the prize money won from each battle will automatically be sent to her. Money can be deposited with or withdrawn from her at any time. Once enough has been saved, she will occasionally call to say that she has bought decorations or other items, then apologizes for spending the money she is saving. Each item can only be obtained once.
