Viridian City
The Eternally Green Paradise
|
Viridian Pokémart |
Heal your Pokemon. Before we start exploring further, we go to the Pokemart first. The shopowner asks you to bring a parcel to Prof Oak. Take it, and go back to Pallet Town. After you give him the parcel, he gives you and your rival a Pokedex. You can also ask a map from Gary's sister now, and when you return to Viridian City, you can finally buy Pokeballs.
There is not much more to do in Viridian City. The gym is closed, and will stay closed until you've defeated the seven other gym leaders. A few people give you some advice, and there's a man cut off from the world by water and bushes. We'll get to him later. Go back to Route 1, and catch Pidgey and Rattata. Train them a bit, and then go to the west of Viridian City.
Route 22
You don't need to go here yet until you get all badges, etc, but you can get some pretty cool Pokemon here. Catch some of the new Pokemon here (Mankey in Yellow can be extremely good for the near future). However, don't go past the first field if you haven't trained yet, because there you will meet your rival again.

Strategy: In Yellow, you can use Pikachu against Spearow, and a trained Pokemon at about the same level against Eevee. In Red and Blue, you'd better have two trained Pokemon. If you started with Squirtle, use a Spearow against his Bulbasaur.
After this battle, you can continue down the route to the Pokemon League building. However, you can't get any further without the badges, so let's go back and go to
Route 2
This route isn't very interesting right now - all Pokemon can elsewhere be found easier. We'll return here later when we have Cut, and then there's more interesting stuff, but for now, go to Viridian Forest.

Its the Viridian Forest! |
Lots of new Pokemon here. In Yellow, get a Caterpie. In the other versions, get Weedle and Pikachu as well. Weedle for a mediocre bug with good bug attacks, and Caterpie because Butterfree learns some nice attacks to use against Brock. Pikachu will be your only Electric type for a while, and will therefore be useful. You can get a Pokeball and two potions (Yellow), or a Pokeball, potion and antidote (Red, Blue) here as well. The trainers you will meet her differ depending on the game you're playing - five in Yellow, and 3 in Red and Blue. A list.

Most of these shouldn't be too hard to defeat. The Metapods and Kakunas don't know any attacks, so use them to easily train a weak Pokemon. Zigzag through the grass, and you'll eventually reach the end of the forest. You can find a hidden potion in front of the last trainer.
