Hint: Get all starters: To get all the starters (Bulbasaur,Charmander, and
Squirtle), you will need two Game Boy Advances and another Pokemon
GBA game. Start with Bulbasaur, then trade it to your other Pokemon
game. After that, start a new game. Start with Charmander and
trade it. Then, start another new game and start with Squirtle.
Keep Squirtle and catch two Pokemon that you do not want. Trade
them for the other two starters you traded to your other Pokemon
game. You will now have all three starters.

Use the following trick to get the three starters without trading.
It requires Pokemon Box on the Gamecube. First, receive
your first starting Pokemon in Pallet Town. Then, defeat your
rival and go to Viridian City. Get the Oak Parcel then go back
to Pallet Town for the Pokedex. Catch a Pokemon of your choice,
then return to Viridian City. Turn off the game and transfer your
starter Pokemon to Pokemon Box. Make a new game and do
the same trick with other Pokemon. When two of the Prof. Pokemon
are in the Pokemon Box, return it when you get your first
Pokemon. You will then have the three starting Pokemon without
trading.

Hint: Recommended starter: Choose a starter Pokemon (Bulbasaur recommended), then
battle your rival. After you reach One Island, make sure you have
two Fire Pokemon. This depends on your starter Pokemon. Also,
make sure that one is highly trained, so it has at least one strong
attack. Also, make sure this Pokemon is a male. Then, put them
in the daycare. When they find an egg, take it. Then, train this
Pokemon to a high level (just high enough to defeat your rival).

The best Pokemon to start with is Bulbasaur. He can defeat the
first two gyms. Charmander cannot defeat the two gyms and Squirtle
can only defeat Brock.
Information in this section was contributed by brandon barber.
The Water starter type Pokemon Squirtle is recommended. Squirtle
can learn Normal, Dark, Ground, Water, Ice and Fighting type moves
such as Tackle, Bite, Dig, Surf, Ice Beam, Focus Punch and Earthquake
when it is a Blastoise. Using Squirtle can help you defeat the
eight gym leaders quickly. Use Water attacks on Brock, Normal
or Dark attacks on Misty, Dig on Lt. Surge (because Electric Pokemon
are very weak against Ground type moves), and Ice attacks on Erika.
Against Koga, use any powerful attacks against or raise an Abra
and have it evolve into a Kadabra (or evolve it once more into
an Alakazam and use Psychic element attacks). When battling against
Sabrina and her trainers, use Bite against all her Pokemon for
very effective damage. Against Blaine and Giovanni (head of Team
Rocket), use Surf to wash their Pokemon out fast. Squirtle will
be a real powerhouse against the gym leaders and for the Pokemon
League. Your rival should not be a problem. His Pidgeot is weak
against Ice type moves, Rhydon will faint in seconds after a Surf
move, the powerful Alakazam will be weak against Bite because
it does not have a lot of Defense strength. For your rival's Arcanine,
use Water type moves to wipe it out. For his starter Pokemon Bulbasaur,
which should now be a Venusaur, use a lot of Ice Beams to make
it faint. For his Gyarados, use some powerful Electric attacks
or Rock type moves (for example, Zapdos or Golem).

Hint: Gender advantages for starter Pokemon:
If it is male you have a 70% chance of having +1 Attack.
If it is female you have a 70% chance of having +1 Defense.

Hint: Blissey: Catch a Chansy in the Safari Zone. Train it and make
sure to give it treats such as Carbos after difficult battles.
Walk everywhere and do not fly. Once it is about a level 37, give
it a treat and make it grow one more level. It should try to evolve.
If it stops you need to get the National Dex. When it tries to
learn Egg Bomb, this means that it will evolve soon.

of your choice (preferably Psychic, Thunder, Blizzard or Flamethrower).
Information in this section was contributed by Aaron Hill.
Hint: Butterfree: Catch a Caterpie. Evolve it to Metapod and then to
Butterfree. When it turns to Butterfree, get it to level 15 and
let it learn "Sleep Powder". Then teach it TM06 (Toxic),
TM32 (Double Team), and another move of your choice. When you
are fighting another Pokemon, select Butterfree. First use "Sleep
Powder". [Screenshot]
After the other Pokemon is asleep, use "Double Team"
[Screenshot]
as many times as possible. When the other Pokemon wakes up, use
"Toxic" [Screenshot],
then keep using "Double Team". The other Pokemon will
be defeated slowly and painfully [Screenshot]
and will be almost unable to attack [Screenshot].

You can capture Mewtwo by bringing at least 300 Timer Balls. Note:
You must have defeated the Elite Four once and have the Ruby and
Sapphire.
Information in this section was contributed by glisbar.
If you have already used your Master Ball, it is possible to catch
Mewtwo without putting him to sleep. If you battle with him for
a long time he will run out of attacks and will then just use
Struggle (a weak attack). You can then somewhat lower his health
and he will be easy to catch.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex Hinchey.
Bring over 60 Ultra Balls with a team of at least this three Pokemon:
Charizard (level 80), Moltres (level 70 or higher), and Vensuar
(level 70 or higher). Save in front of Mewtwo before you battle
it. Use Vensuar's Poison/Sleep Powder to weaken it, then use Charizard,
Moltres, or another Pokemon to weaken it. Note: Mewtwo can only
be caught when its HP is in the red and is asleep or poisoned.
When you through the Pokeballs press A very fast until
it is over Mewtwo. Each time the Pokeball moves one way, press
A . Repeat this as many times as needed.
Information in this section was contributed by pokemaster1122.
To catch Mewtwo, use a Gloom, Vileplume, or Oddish with the move
Stun Spore. Paralyze Mewtwo. Lower its health to orange-yellow
or red and press A repeatedly until the Ultra Ball hits
the ground. Every time it shakes press A once. On the third
shake, press A again. Do not press A repeatedly
or it will fail. You do not need to put it to sleep or poison
it; poisoning can slowly lower its health until it faints.
Information in this section was contributed by bltdude58.
This strategy requires 30 Revives, several Ultra Balls, a Pokemon
that can Paralyze or Hypnotize (Haunter recommended), and two
backup Pokemon in the party (Dark/Steel/Psychic Pokemon recommended).
The strategy is to run Mewtwo's PP out. The best way to do this
is to attack Mewtwo with two backup Pokemon. When the battle begins,
switch out one of your backup Pokemon and fight Mewtwo. Do not
try to weaken him enough that Mewtwo is almost dead. Just weaken
Mewtwo enough so he is missing a little health. When your backup
Pokemon faints, switch to your other backup Pokemon. Revive the
other backup Pokemon that fainted earlier. Keep repeating this
until Mewtwo stops using Psychic and Safeguard. Once Mewtwo does
this, switch to Haunter. This strategy will work because it is
impossible to run out of Pokemon once you revive them. Mewtwo
has four moves:Psychic, Recover, Swift, and Safeguard. By now
Mewtwo should run on of PP for Psychic and Safeguard. This means
Mewtwo's only attack move is Swift. That is good because Swift
does not affect Haunter. Also, Haunter's Ghost attacks such as
Shadow Ball will be very effective against Mewtwo. Weaken Mewtwo
until he is almost dead then put him to sleep or paralyze him.
Do not weaken him to 1 HP because he might kill himself.

to go north until you hit water again. Then, Surf north again
until you reach land. Go up and move the boulders. Continue to

move, you can evolve it into a Vaporeon and it would know a fire
move, even though it is a Water type. You can do the same thing
to another Pokemon if you can hatch a baby or evolve it.

To get all three Legendary Dogs, get together with two friends
before any of you start the game. Have one player get Charmander,
another get Squirtle, and the other get Bulbasaur. Each of you
will get one of the legendary dogs: Charmander, Suicune; Squirtle,
Raikou; and Bulbasaur, Entei. Once each of you has their own dog,
trade one dog for another. For example, player one's Suicune for
player two's Entei; player three's Raikou for player one's Entei;
and Player three's Raikou for player two's Suicune.
Information in this section was contributed by ABReedy.
Use the following trick to easily catch Suicune, Raikou, or Entei
without a Master Ball. Get a Pokemon the learns the move Mean
Look or something similar, or get a Pokemon with the Arena Trap
or Shadow Tag abilities to prevent them from escaping. If they
do, you will get another chance to catch them, providing you do
not make them faint.
Information in this section was contributed by Mike156719865751.
To get Entei, Raikou, and Suicune easily, go to a route then exit
and enter it until you see one of them. Note: Do not forget to
use Max Repel.
Information in this section was contributed by sheilajk.
To catch the Legendary Dogs, you first need to encounter it. That
part is purely luck. After you find it, get a Diglett or Dugtrio
with the ability Arena Trap. Put it first in your party. Buy about
five Super Repels and a lot of Ultraballs. Next, go to the route
you want to catch it on. This works if s the Arena Trap Pokemon
is a higher level than the wild Pokemon there, and is lower than
50. Also, if you use a repel stand in the grass. Save the game.
Check your Pokedex to see if it is on your route. If so, move
around until you run into it. If it does not appear, restart the
game and check again. Every time you restart the game, the Legendary
Dog will be at a different location. Saving on the route in the
grass ensures that it does not have a chance to leave before you
encoutner it, and the Arena Trap prevents it from escaping once
you do. Note: If the Pokemon uses Roar, you will not be able to
find it again. Save the game after every time you encounter it,
and work its HP down slowly. Attack only a few times then switch
out Pokemon so that it can run. Having it stay in the Pokeball
is the difficult part.
Information in this section was contributed by Awesome.
Finding any of the legendary dogs is a random event. Every time
you enter or exit a route they will move. Your best chance to
find them is to get a friend who has the Legendary Dog in your
game and have him or her trade it to you so that you can track
it down. Note: Do not forget Max Repels.
Information in this section was contributed by STARSKY10265.
Hint: Johto Pokemon: To get your first Pokemon from the Johto Region, defeat
the Elite Four. Go to Island 3, then go in the tunnel. Talk to
the man and he will give you a Nugget. Go out the door, and there
will be a small patch of grass. Walk around in it, and you will
find your first Johto Pokemon.
Hint: Duplicate Pokemon: Note: This trick will only work on Pokemon that have
a gender. Either male or female will do. For example, if you want
a friend's Charizard but you do not want to trade a level 100
male Venusaur for it, catch a Ditto on Route 13 to 15. Take both
your Venusaur and Ditto to 4 Island to the old couple and breed
them. The next morning you will have a Bulbasaur egg ready to
trade. This can be used to get all the evolutions of Evee. Note:
This trick will not work on Mewtwo or most of the legendary Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by -=EXile=-.
Use the following trick to easily reproduce rare Pokemon, such
as Charizard, Lapras, etc. Capture a Ditto in Pokemon Fire
Red or Leaf Green. These can be found in the cave at
Cerulean. Transfer your Ditto to Pokemon Sapphire or Ruby,
then take it to the Daycare couple in Mauville and leave it there.
The quickest way to get an egg is to cycle back and forth a few
times in front of the Daycare Center until the old man comes out
of the gate. The egg he gives you will hatch into the first evolution
of whatever Pokemon you put into the daycare. For example, a Charizard
will give you a Charmander. Trade with friends to get the other
starters, breed an egg, then trade back. The hatched Pokemon will
have you as the original trainer.Some Pokemon will not breed in
this way, even though they have a gender (such as Latios and Latias).
Information in this section was contributed by Ray
Martin.
Hint: Strong Pokemon: To get a Pokemon that us extraordinarily strong, you
must catch it at a low level (for example, level 3). The lower
the level, the more powerful they can get when they level up.
You also need to catch the Pokerus (Pokemon Virus). To get the
Pokerus, you must not ever run from a battle -- you need to have
the same Pokemon do an extreme amount of battling. Once a Pokemon
gets it, the virus will spread to all the Pokemon in your party.
They will grow extra strong from the boosted stats earned when
leveling up. For example, if a level 3 Magikarp is caught and
catches the virus when training, its stats will increase by 4
or 5 instead of the usual 3. As a result, when it gets to be a
Gyrados at level 100, it will have over 400 HP. Also use Medicine
to boost stats. The virus can only be caught once per Pokemon
and does not last forever. It goes away after you go to the Pokemon
Center too many times.

Hint: Easy breeding: When breeding, if the Pokemon you intend to breed is
difficult to find catch a Ditto at about the same level as your
other Pokemon. There is a better chance of getting eggs if the
partners are almost the same level. For example, you can hatch
eggs with Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Wynaut, and
Togepi.

Hint: Breeding legendary Pokemon: To get more than one legendary Pokemon (if it is a
female) go to the Day Care woman and put the legendary Pokemon
with any male Pokemon. Walk around for awhile then go back to
the Day Care man. If he has stepped forward, he has an egg for
you. Take it and walk around for awhile. It will hatch into the
legendary Pokemon that the female was.
Hint: Easy egg hatching: Go to Island 4 and put a Ditto in the Day Care with
the Pokemon that you want to breed. Note: This will not work on
Legendarys. You can also put Lax Incense on one of them to sometimes
make a baby (like Pikachu makes a Pichu). Once you get your egg,
fly to Cerulean City and get on your bike. Go to the bike trail
that goes to Fushia City. Go on the left side and stick to the
right side of the gray path. Going straight down the long gray
path is exactly 136 steps -- it will not take long for the egg
to hatch.
Information in this section was contributed by rowlandbjbr.
When trying to hatch eggs faster, place a Pokemon in your party
whose ability is either Flame Body or Magma Armor (for example,
Slugma or Macargo). The ambient heat will incubate the egg and
cause it to hatch twice as fast.

Go to Vermilion City. Go to the bridge to Lavender Town. Go to
Saffron heading to Celadon. Then, go to the Cycling Road and then
to Fuschia City. Then go back to the bridge to Lavender Town.
Do this three times. After that go to Vermilion City where the
old man with Machop is located. Go around them five times or more
until the egg hatches.

Hint: Easy coins: Use your Itemfinder in Celadon City Game Corner. Pick
up coins. When it says that there is no response, go outside,
come back in, and use it again. You will find 100 free coins.

Hint: New moves: There are four new moves not found in earlier Pokemon
games:
Blast Burn (Fire): Power: 120, Accuracy: 100, leaves the user
immobile the next turn.
Hydro Cannon (Water): Power: 120, Accuracy: 100, leaves the user
immobile the next turn.
Frenzy Plant (Grass): Power: 120, Accuracy: 100, leaves the user
immobile the next turn.
Volt Tackle (Thunder): Power: 120, Accuracy:100, slightly hurts
the user.
To get the new moves, you must go to the woman's house on Cape
Brink on Island Two and talk to her. If your starter is Charmeleon,
you will get Bast Burn; Squirtle is Hydro Cannon; and Bulbusaur
is Frenzy Plant. To get Volt Tackle, you must use an electric
Pokemon. You must have the Pokemon first in your party.

Hint: Poison Sting: The Poison Sting attack can always poison if you press
and release A at the exact time.. Time it by looking at
one of the bubbles. For example, fight a Mankey. The one that
crosses the hand to the left of the screen is the one to time
it by, by pressing A just as it starts to pass the hand
and releasing it just as it pops. It always poisons the enemy.
This works for all Pokemon with the Poison Sting ability against
all enemies, except for Bug types. Also, the Constrict attack
can always get criticals if you press and release A twice
while the vines are pulsating.
Information in this section was contributed by david bingham.
Hint: Amulet Coin: Catch forty different kinds of Pokemon. Then, go to
the entrance of the cycling road next to Celdon City. Go up the
stairs of the house. Then, talk to Professor Oak's aide. He will
give you an Amulet Coin.
Information in this section was contributed by Joe Mitchell.
Hint: Berries: Find a black mark in the grass, then go up to it and
press A. Note: This will not work with items such as Big
Pearl, Stardust, and Rare Candies.
Information in this section was contributed by Bugman.
Hint: Black Belt: After you get to One Island, travel up the path called
Kindle Road and go towards the volcano. Along this route, you
will encounter several trainers with Fighting-type Pokemon. Have
your Pokemon use Thief to steal a Black Belt from each of the
Pokemon. After you have a Black Belt, take it off your Pokemon
and use the VS Seeker to fight the opponent again. Steal another
Black Belt from his other Pokemon. Every Fighting-type on this
route is equipped with a Black Belt, which boosts the power of
all Fighting-type moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Steven-Anderson Smith.
Hint: Card Key: Use the following steps to find the Card Key (a card-type
key that unlocks doors in Silph Co.'s head office in Saffron City).
The Card Key is on the fifth floor. Use the elevator to get there
quickly. Find a Team Rocket Member to the left. Move south, enter
the teleporter, then go back where you saw that Team Rocket Member
or the grunt. Then start moving to the right. You should see a
Pokeball that is the Card Key.

Hint: Diploma: Complete the National Dex by catching all 386 Pokemon.
Hint: EXP. Share: Go to the guardhouse on the side of Fushia where you
come from the bridge, not Cycle Road. Go upstairs and talk to
the aide. He will give Exp. Share to you if you have at least
fifty types of Pokemon. The Exp. Share gives the Pokemon holding
it experience, even if it was not in battle.

Hint: HM locations: Information in this section was contributed
by C.J. Mellor.
HM 1 (Cut): S.S. Anne
HM 2 (Fly): Girl inside house next to Celadon City
HM 3 (Surf): Safari Zone
HM 4 (Strength): Warden in Fuchsia City by giving him his teeth
(found in the Safari Zone)
HM 5 (Flash): Professor Oak's aide on Route 2. Must have ten Pokemon.
HM 6 (Rock Smash): Old man in the hot springs on 1 Island.
HM 7 (Waterfall): The end of Icefall Cave on 4 Island
Hint: Itemfinder: The Itemfinder is at Vermilion city. Go past Diglett's
cave. Avoid all trainers. Go into the building, up the stairs,
then talk to the aide. You must have thirty different kind of
Pokemon. He will then give you the Itemfinder.

Look to the right. Lum Berries restore a Pokemons stat problems
(SLP, PSN, PRZ, CFN, FRZ, BRN).
Information in this section was contributed by LittleStone05.
Hint: Luxury Ball: To obtain a Luxury Ball, you must have rescued Lady
Selphy from the Lost Cave on Five Island. After she returns to
her house, she will ramble on about how bored she is, then ask
to see a Pokemon. When she does this, fly back to the Five Island
Pokemon Center and take out the Pokemon that she requested to
see. Go back to her house. Place the Pokemon she wants to see
first in your party and talk to her. She will call her butler
over to you and reward you with a Luxury Ball. These balls are
rare and cause the Pokemon captured by them to become more friendly,
as if they were holding a Soothe Bell. You can do this as many
times as desired. Selphy will sometimes give you another item
besides a Luxury Ball, such as a Pearl. Note: If you save and
turn off your Game Boy Advance, Lady Selphy will ask to see another
Pokemon other than the one she asked for before.

Hint: Nuggets: Go to the last person (Team Rocket member) on Nugget
Bridge. Lose to that person after you get the Nugget. Repeat this
until you have the desired number of Nuggets. Note: If you save
the your game after defeating him, you will no longer be able
to do this.

Hint: Rare Candy: To get more Rare Candies, look for some Meowths. You
are 30% likely to get one.
Information in this section was contributed by David Rutledge.
At Cerulean City, there is a Rare Candy hidden behind one of the
houses. Look behind every house and eventually you will bump into
something. Select it and you will obtain a Rare Candy.
Information in this section was contributed by ZacComicMan.
Hint: Repel and Super Repel: Repel and Super Repel will keep all wild Pokemon of
a lower level than the first Pokemon in your party from attacking.
However, if the wild Pokemon is of the same level or higher, it
will attack. Due to the decreased amount of Pokemon to fight,
you will have less random encounters. To exploit the use of this,
go to a cave with high level Pokemon such as at Victory Road or
Union Cave. Use the Repel once inside. Find a boxed-in type of
corner and tap the D-pad gently towards a wall. If done
correctly, you will not hear a bumping sound. Doing this should
not reduce the number of steps remaining on you Repel counter,
because the Repel only counts movement that causes the character
to take a step not turning. Just turn into a wall to make it easier
for beginners. This trick is useful because you are always facing
a Pokemon that is of equal or greater level, allowing you to get
levels much faster than usual.

Hint: Ruby: Go to Mt. Ember. You must fight two Team Rocket goons.
Afterwards, go into the cave and navigate your way through it.
In the end you will find the ruby and get out of the cave.

Visit One Island as soon as you get the Tri-Pass. Go up to Mt
Ember until you enter the mountain and the screen looks like you
would when entering a house. Take the first right you reach and
follow it until you see two Team Rocket members. Talk to them
before you complete the game or you will not be able to enter
the cave to start getting the stones afterwards.

Get the National Pokedex by catching sixty Pokemon. Go to Mt.
Ember on 1 Island. You will need Surf. Fight the two Team Rocket
members. Get to the end of the cave. The Ruby will be there. Bring
it back to Celio and he will ask you to get the Sapphire.

Hint: Running Shoes: Follow through Viridian Forest, go to Brock (the first
gym leader), and defeat him. Brock has three Pokemon: Geodude
level12, Onix level 14, and Geodude level 11. Then, go to the
path that leads to Mount Moon's base. Try to go past the man standing
slightly past the entrance. He should stop you. He is Professor
Oak's assistant. After talking to him, he will give you the Running
Shoes.

Hint: Sacred Ash: Go to the Naval Rock Island (if you have the Mystic
Ticket), and to the location where Ho-oh confronted you. Use the
Itemfinder and it will automatically dig up the Sacred Ash, just
like the Macho Brace at Viridian Gym after Giovanni left; and
the Top from Pokemon Tower after Mr. Fugi left.
Information in this section was contributed by Reeder214.
Hint: Sapphire: Go to the dotted hole and use Cut. You must go to your
Pokemon menu and go to the Pokemon that has this ability. Next,
fall into the first hole. You are now on Basement Floor 1 (B1).
Go through the north hole and you will land on B2. Go through
the west hole once you are on B2. Once you arrive on B3, go through
the west hole and you will drop down to B4. Finally, go though
the south hole on B4. You will then arrive in a room. When you
go to the jewel, a man will come down and take it. However, he
will give you the second password to the Team Rocket hideout.
When you go there, you must fight the man in the end. After you
defeat him, he will give you the jewel. You must then take the
Sapphire to Celio, and then the link between Hoen and Kanto will
be open

Note: You must have the Ruby. To get the Sapphire, go to the dotted
hole on 6 Island. Use Cut in front of the door to open it. Once
you get to the end of cave, you will find the Sapphire. It will
be taken from you by a person, but he will tell you the second
password to Team Rocket's warehouse. Once you get to the end of
the warehouse, the person who took the Sapphire will be there.
Fight him and he will give you the sapphire.

Hint: Thunderstone: In the Power Station, in the room with Zapdos, use
your Itemfinder to locate an item in that area. You should find
a Thunderstone.

Hint: Save TM: When you have lost any important TM (Shadow Ball, Thunder,
Fire Blast, Psychic, etc.), catch or transfer a Ditto. Grab the
Pokemon that has the TM then breed it. You will now have the first
Pokemon with a TM. This trick is useful when you have lost Eartquake,
also is useful when you have any Pokemon to Battle Frontier higher
than level 50. Only breed it then you will have the Pokemon with
some attack learned by the Pokemon. When you need other Pokemon,
try to breed other Pokemon than Ditto. Find a combination until
you find a Pokemon. Note: This trick cannot be used with legendary
Pokemon.

Hint: Celedon City: Easy slot machine wins:
Use the slot machine at Celdadon City that is at the
top in the row you face when you enter. It seems to be easier
to get triple sevens if you can time it correctly.

Hint: Naval Rock: When you first go in, just go straight until you hit
a wall. If you want to get Lugia first, go to the right. If you
want Ho-oh first, go to the left. It really does not matter, because
you can get both. They will both appear at level 70.

girl closest to Nurse Joy.
Information in this section was contributed by Crizo Barnick.
Hint: Silph Co.: Go to the fifth floor. Then, go right until you reach
a wall. You will see a Team Rocket grunt. Do not go in front of
him. Instead, go all the way up so he must walk to fight you.
Make sure that when he walks up, he makes it so you can walk past
him after you defeat him. An easy way to defeat him is to use
Water type Pokemon with Surf, After defeating him, go behind him
down the narrow path, then turn. You will see a Pokeball. It has
the Card Key, which is the item that you need to open doors. Go
back out and down to level three. Go left until you see a locked
room that has a portal in it. It also has a locked room behind
it as well. Go into the first locked room and use the warp. Make
sure you have some strong Pokemon to battle your rival. Defeat
him, then talk to the man standing against the left wall. He will
heal you and give you Lapris. Then, go through the other portal
(not the one you came from, but other on on the other side of
the table). Defeat the Team Rocket grunt, then defeat the Team
Rocket Boss. Next, talk to the owner of Silph Co. He will give
you the Master Ball. You now can fight Gym Leader Sabrina.

Hint: Wall writing: The tablet in the dotted hole reads "Let the two
glittering stones one in red one in blue connect the past! The
friends sharing power open a window to a new world that glows!
The next world waits for you!" Write down this message including
the "!"s and their symbols to unlock the other wall
writings in other caves. There are hidden Pokemon in these caves.
Each letter has one symbol and spaces are blank.

Hint: Bite: With the Bite attack, you can always make the enemy
flinch if you tap A at the exact moment that the star shape
appears (use the teeth to time it). This requires exact timing,
and may take awhile to get it correct.
Information in this section was contributed by david bingham.
Hint: Body Slam: On the Body Slam, hold A when the star shape
used for an impact appears. Release the button when the enemy
starts moving back to where it was, but before it gets there.
You will always paralyze the enemy.
Information in this section was contributed by david bingham.
Hint: Defeating Brock: Both Steel and Fighting-type moves are very effective
against Rock-type Pokemon. Train your Charmander up to level 13
so that it knows Metal Claw and/or train a Mankey to help you
fight. Mankey's Low Kick is very effective on Onix.
Hint: Defeating Bruno: After you have already conquered the Elite Four, use
a strong Fire and Flying type and you will win. One strong attack
from a Charizard, such as Fire Blast will be able to obliterate
both Steelix with one hit. Hitmonlee can be defeated from one
Fly (HM Tech) attack. Hitmonchan can be defeated with a Fly attack,
followed by a quick Wing Attack.
Information in this section was contributed by Chris Walker.
Hint: Defeating Giovanni: An easy way to defeat Giovanni in all battles is to
use a Water Pokemon with Surf on all his Pokemon.
Hint: Defeating the Elite Four: After you defeat the Elite Four and you give Celio
the Ruby and Sapphire Plate (on the seven islands), you can re-challenge
the Elite Four. Their Pokemon are now changed and become much
more stronger than the first time you challenged them. Here are
the combinations:
Lance: Gyarados level 68, Kingdra level 66, Aerodactyl level 70,
Dragonite level 66, Dragonite level 72 (one of his Dragonair evolved,
and the other was replaced by Kingdra).
Rival: Heracross level 71, Alakazam level 69, Tyranitar level
72, and depending on who you chose at the start;
If you have Bulbasaur: Gyarados level 71, Exeggutor level 73,
Charizard level 75.
If you have Squirtle: Gyarados level 73, Arcanine level 71, Venusaur
level 75.
If you have Charmander:Exeggutor level 73, Arcanine level 71,
Blastoise level 75.
For Lorelei, you need a level 60 or higher Electric type with
like Thunder or Thunderbolt. Watch out; her Piloswine is also
a Ground type and is immune to Electricity. Use Water type or
Fighting. Bruno is very easy to defeat if you have a very good
Water type for the Steelixes and a level 53 or higher Alakazam
or Kadabra; or a very strong Psychic type. Agatha is tough because
of her speedy Pokemon. If you have an Alakazam and it is at least
level 58 or higher, then you will have no problems. If not, try
using a strong Steel type. Lance is annoying because he now has
a Kingdra, which is not really affected by Ice types because of
its Water type. Use a tough Electric type. The rest are easily
dispatched by an Ice Beam or Blizzard. Your Rival is difficult.
His Heracross has good speed, but flying attacks kill it because
of his double weakness. His Alakazam can be defeated by a good
Hyper Beam or even Strength because it lacks defense (not special
defense). His Exeggutor or Gyarados are poor, but his Arcanine
is strong -- do not underestimate him. The real problems are his
Tyrannitar and the starter. Tyrannitar is good in every stat,
and he is a Dark type which makes him unaffected by Psychic types.
He is also a Rock type, so use Razor Leaf or Surf. The starter
is tough, and is not easily dispatched.
Information in this section was contributed by AlakazamFreak.
Go to the Safari Zone, and stop in a grassy area. Keep pressing
the D-Pad gently to rotate on the spot. This should not
waste your steps. Keep doing this until you meet a Ryhorn. Throw
a rock at it. If you are lucky, the Ryhorn will not flee. Then,
use a Safari Ball. To catch it, press A(5) each time the
Safari Ball shakes. If done correctly, you will catch it. Raise
it to over level 65. It should now have learned a one-hit KO (kill),
"Horn Attack" or something similar. Use it on the Elite
Four to win. Also, pack some Max Revives in your bag. Also, have
more Pokemon (one Water, one Rock or Steel, one Electric, one
Fire, and one Flying) Recommended choices are Gryados level 50+,
Steelix level 55+, Raichu level 45+, Charizard level 65+, and
Pigiot level 53+. If you use your moves correctly, you will win
easily.
Information in this section was contributed by CODEMAN 79.
Catch Zapdos or level up a Raichu or another Electric Pokemon
to leve; 53 or higher. Get an Articuno or a high level Ice Pokemon.
Teach it Fly. Make sure every Pokemon you have is at least level
49.after you finish Victory Road. Buy Max Potions, Full Restores,
etc., then go through the door. When facing Lorelei, use your
Electric type and use your strongest Electric type attacks (Thunder
recommended). When facing Bruno, use your Flying type attacks
on the Fighting type and Ice, Water, and Grass type on the Rock
type. Try to do it in two or less turns on each of his Pokemon.
They will probably use a strong attack on you. Also, try to use
a weak attack first and a final blow last because they use Full
Restores if you get them down to red and try to kill them. When
facing Agatha, her first Gengar will try to poison you with Toxic.
Try to kill her as fast as possible. For the others, try to use
Hypnosis. Use Dark moves on her Psychic and Ghost types. This
battle will be difficult. When facing Lance, use your good Electric
types on his Gyarados and Dragonairs and the other Dragon/Water
type. For Dragonite, use your Ice to hammer it down. His Pokemon
mostly use Dragon Rage, Outrage and Hyper Beam. When they use
Hyper Beam, they will rest for a turn. For your rival battle,
keep healing and rotate Pokemon until you defeat him. Having a
Grass, Water, Fire, and Electric type are recommended.

Hint: Defeating your rival: Use the following tricks to defeat your rival with
relative ease the second time in the Elite Four. Note: This was
done with Bulbasaur as a starter; therefore the lineup will change
depending on which starter selected. For the Heracross (level72),
use either a very strong Fire-type or a Wing Attack or even Fly
from any Flying-type above level 55. Otherwise, speed will be
an issue. For the Tyranitar (level 72), use a Ground-type like
a Rhydon or Dugtrio with Earthquake. Note that Rhydon or Dugtrio
will need to have a very high defense or speed to either land
the first blow or live to land their attack after they have been
hit. Consider having them at somewhere between level 65 and 72.
For the Alakazam (level 73), use an attack like Bite, Crunch,
Megahorn, Shadow Ball or Shadow Punch. For the Gyarados (level
73), if your team is lacking a strong Electric-type, consider
using a Rock-type with attacks such as Ancientpower or Rock Blast.
For the starter (level 75; if you have Venusaur), rely heavily
on Rock, Water and even Ice-types to get the job done against
the Charizard. If you have Blastoise, go with powerful Ground,
Psychic, Fire, Ice, and Flying to take care of what is really
a simple task. If you have Charizard, go with Electricity, Grass
(risky because of the Ice type move that the Blastoise will have)
or even Steel-types. The Exeggutor (level 73), is the easiest
to deal with. It is low in speed. Using strong Fire, Ice, Dark,
Ghost or Bug moves should take care of it in one hit.

Hint: Defeating Sabrina: Buy a Poke Doll from the department store in Celadon
City. Then, go to the top left house in Saffron City and go upstairs.
Talk to the girl and she will teach one of your Pokemon Mimic.
Go to the gym and begin your battle against Sabrina. Once she
uses a Psychic move with one of her Pokemon, Mimic it and you
will have it for the rest of the battle.

Hint: Floating Pokemon battle: This trick requires Surf, Fly, any Pokemon at level
20 to 30, and the Poke Flute. Fly to Fuchsia City. Walk east through
the "guard tower". Walk along the path. When you get
to the water, use Surf. Surf along the shore making sure that
you do not go on land. Eventually a Junior Trainer female will
challenge you, You will still be surfing on the water after the
battle.

Hint: Random dots in Mount Ember: Once you have defeated the two Rocket Grunts near the
base of Mount Ember, the will leave and you will be able to enter
the cave. The way through is straightforward, with a few stone
puzzles. You will reach a fairly large chamber with many large
flat stones with strange dots on them. The dots on the large stones
are letters, and the ones on the small stones are punctuation
marks. The letters can be read from left to right like a book.
Make sure you do not include the small stones in your alphabet
or it will be incorrect. The information that can be gotten from
these letters is basically pointless, and it takes awhile to write
out a key.

Hint: Dotted door: Go to Island 6. Go to the dotted hole door. Cut the
door and go in. There is a hole. Use the following directions:
up, left, right, down. You will find a sapphire. A professor will
take it and give you the password for the warehouse on Island
5.

Hint: Get to One Island: To Get to One Island, defeat the Cinnabar Island Gym
Leader, Blaine. When you come out, Bill will take you to One Island
and give you the Tri-Pass. This will allow you to return at any
time by taking the Pass to the boat dock in Vermilion City.
After completing the gym in Cinnabar Island, go outside. Bill
will come over and take you on a boat to One Island. On this island
you will meet Celio, who is Bill's friend in the Pokemon Network
Center. Celio will give you a pass so that you can use the Seagallop
ferry around the One, Two, Three Island and Vermilion City.

Hint: Get to Island 4, 5, 6, 7: First, catch sixty Pokemon. Go to Pallet Town and go
to Professor Oak. He will upgrade your Pokedex to the National
Pokedex. Then, go to Island 1. Go into the Pokemon Center and
talk to Ceilo. He will give you a Rainbow Ticket.

Hint: Get to Saffron City: Unlike in Pokemon Red and Blue, to get
into Saffron City, you do not give the guard a Fresh Water. You
must go to Celadon City then enter the Game Freak building. Inside
is an old woman with Pokemon around her It is the building above
the Game Corner. Once there, talk to the old lady. She gives you
some "tea", which you can then give to the guard. All
the guards will now let you go into Saffron City. Remember to
get the powerful TM 29 Psychic in Mr. Psychic's house (in the
bottom far left house of the city). Also, your Pokemon should
at least level 38 or higher when attempting to battle Sabrina.
Information in this section was contributed by AlakazamFreak.
Hint: Get to Saffron City earlier: This trick requires two Game Boy Advances, a link cable,
a Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire game with a "Fresh
Water" in the pack, and a Pokemon Fire Red or Leaf
Green game that is completed and able to trade with Pokemon
Ruby or Sapphire. Also, you will need another Pokemon
Fire Red or Leaf Green cartridge. Give a Pokemon a
Fresh Water. Trade the Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire
to the completed Pokemon Fire Red or Leaf Green
game. Take the Fresh Water and attach it to a Pokemon not from
Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire. Trade it to the other
Pokemon Fire Red or Leaf Green game. Give the Fresh
Water to the guard. You can now access Saffron City easier. You
can also do the same thing without the Pokemon Ruby or
Sapphire cartrigde. Also, it works better when you have
the completed cartridge and your friend has the unfinished game.
Information in this section was contributed by Ben Sott.
Hint: Easy Saffron gym path: Instead of trying to figure out which path to take,
or if you do not want to battle any of the trainers, just go to
the opposite teleporter up or down. If you touch one and are at
the bottom left, go to the top left. If you touch one and are
on the top right, go to the bottom right. This may take some time,
but it will work.

Once you enter the cave and go down the ladder, there are four
doors you can go in: north (up), south (down), east (right), and
west (left). Go through the doors in this order: right, up, down,
down, right, left, down, right, up. Once you get to the final
door there will be a girl who will battle you because she is scared.
Her name is "Lady Selphy". Once you defeat her she will
give you a lot of money and take you back to her house.

Hint: Cerulean cave: First, defeat Team Rocket at Kanto, then win the Pokemon

Hint: Dotted Hole: Braille translations:
In the Dotted Hole, there is Braille in each room that
needs to be translated. The translations are all direction, so
drop down the hole that corresponds to that direction. Here are
the translations:
1. Up
2. Left
3. Right
4. Down
Hint: Unlimited Safari Zone time: Enter the Safari Zone, then walk into an area and stop

Find one location in the Safari Zone that suits you. Then, just
rotate in place. Random Pokemon should you attack you every few
rotations.
Information in this section was contributed by Dragdriver1414.
Go into a patch of grass in the Safari Zone with a Pokemon (like
Oddish) that has Sweet Scent. When you use Sweet Scent, you will
get attacked by wild Pokemon without having to move. Keep doing
this until you find a Pokemon that you want.
Hint: Unlimited safari zone attempts: Save the game when outside the Safari Zone. If you
do not get any desired Pokemon, just restart the game instead
of spending 500 each time.
Information in this section was contributed by Jordan Silvia.
Hint: Catching Safari Zone Pokemon: When you encounter a Safari Zone Pokemon, throw a rock
at it. If it does not flee, use a safari ball. You should be able

To do this, you must defeat the Elite Four, have the Amulet Coin,
the Vrs Seeker, and the Rainbow Pass. First, go to Island 5. Go
up along the coast. Surf north until you meet a trainer on a tiny
island. Ignore him or her. Then, go east a short distance and
you will find a bigger island with a house. There is a Lady named
Jacki near the island you saw a moment ago. She has a level 48
Hopip and a level 50 Skiploom. They are Grass/Flying type. Give
the Amulet Coin to a Pokemon that is good against them. Put it
up front. Battle her and you will get 20,000 in money. Use the
Vrs Seeker to battle her again with the same Pokemon and get 20,000
in money again. Run around the island until your Vrs Seeker is
recharged. Battle her as much as desired.
Information in this section was contributed by jek.
To get quick money, get a Zigzagoon. Battle with it. After every
battle, look to see if it has a Nugget. When you get one, sell
it for lots of money. Note: It will also get lots of other items.
Information in this section was contributed by Evil Genius Ryan.
Use the following trick to get P 10,000 or P 20,000 easily. Go
to Five Island. Make sure you have Amulet Coin on your first Pokemon.
Swim north of Five Island to Resort Gorgeous to the island with
Selphy's house. The lady on far left of the house is Lady Jacki.
She has a Level 48 Hoppip and a level 50 Skiploom. If you defeat
her you will earn P 10,000 (P 20,000 AC). If you have the VS Seeker,
you can keep battling her for more money. If you need the Amulet
Coin, go to the building west of Celadon (the one that leads to
Route 17) and go upstairs. One of Professor Oak's aides will ask
you if you have caught 40 Pokemon. If you have, you will get the
Amulet Coin. The VS Seeker is with the lady near Nurse Joy inside
the Vermilion Pokecenter.
Information in this section was contributed by megaman chaia.
Have at least two Pokemon and access to Five Island, a level 45
to 50 Persian that knows Pay Day and is holding Amulet Coin, and
another Pokemon that is not holding anything but knows Thief.
Go to Resort Gorgeous and find the two rich ladies. Fight them
using the Vs Seeker. Lady Jacki uses a level 48 Hoppip. Use your
Persian and Pay Day against it. The second uses a level 50 Skiploom.
Switch to your thieving Pokemon and use Thief to get his Stardust.
You will get 2,000 in money (not counting Pay Day), and take the
Stardust away from your thief. Lady Gillian uses a level 49 Mareep.
Use your Persian against it and Pay Day until it faints. The second
is a level 48 Mareep. Use the same attack as the first, Pay Day.
The third is a level 49 Flaffy. Switch to your thief and steal
his Nugget. Then, finish him off. Repeat this as many times as
desired.
Information in this section was contributed by Dustin Droddy.
Once you have the V.S. Seeker, travel to Resort Gorgeous and re-challenge
the "ladies" of the island. Have the Amulet Coin held
by your lead Pokemon and battle them. You should either get 20,000
or 19,600 in money. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Go to treasure beach directly below the One Island port. Then,
use the Itemfinder to find the two Pearls. Go to any shop and

Catch a Meowth. Raise Meowth untill it learns the move Pay Day.
Then, give Meowth the Amulet Coin. For every Pay Day used with
Meowth still in battle at the end, it will give you 10 credits
per level. For example, if you have a level 25 Meowth it will
give you 250 credits per Pay Day attack.
Information in this section was contributed by Rod Robertson.
Hint: Saving money: To save money, buy only regular Pokeballs (about 350
to 400). Buy as few of Potions, Super Potions, Full Heals, Hyper
Potions, Max Potions, and Max Revives as possible. Instead, go
to Two Island and buy Fresh Water for 200 (heals your Pokemon
by 50 points), Soda Pop for 300 (heals your Pokemon by 60), Lemonade
for 350 (heals your Pokemon by 80), Moomoo Milk for 500 (heals
your Pokemon by 100), and Lava Cookies for 200 (acts as Full Heal).
However, still purchase Full Restores and Revives for when you
are in a tight spot. Also, use the Poke-Flute to wake up Pokemon
and the Yellow Flute to snap them out of confusion.
Information in this section was contributed by Dustin Droddy.
Hint: Easy wins: Have a Lapras over level 50 with Perish Song. Also
have another Pokemon over level 50 that knows Pursuit. First,
use Perish Song with Lapras, then attack the opponent. The Perish
count should fall to 2. Then, switch your Pokemon to the one that
knows Pursuit. Pursuit's affect should help you kill you opponent
before it switches. This is useful in the Pokemon League.
Information in this section was contributed by o.begovic.
This trick requires a Shedinja, a Pokemon that knows Skill Swap,
and a Ghost-Dark hybrid, and can only be used in a double battle.
Enter the Shedinja and the Pokemon that knows Skill swap into
battle first. Have the Pokemon that knows Skill swap use it on
Shedinja. Then, switch Shedinja out with your Ghost-Dark hybrid,
and have the Pokemon who knows Skill Swap use it on your Ghost-Dark
hybrid. Because no move can deal Super Effective damage to a Ghost-Dark
hybrid, using this trick to swap Shedinja's Wonderguard over to
one will make it completely invincible. However, even with Wonderguard,
the Ghost-Dark hybrid will only be invulnerable to attacks. This
means that special conditions, recoil, etc. will still do damage
to it.
Information in this section was contributed by Samuel Clifton.
Hint: Easy experience: Have a Pokemon level 35 or higher (lower is acceptable).
Using the Vs Seeker go to Lavender Town. Go to the left and challenge
the four people in a line and the two twins. Make sure both the
twins and four people are onscreen. After that, go to the docks
under Lavender Town. Go to an area where the young couple is found
and go near them. Make sure you can see a fisherman on the top
of your screen. Use the Vs Seeker and challenge either. Then,
repeat the process.

Put a Pokemon in the daycare. ever step you take after that will
give your Pokemon one experience point. Go to Rocket Hide Out
in the Casino. Go to part with the moving floor. Find a part where
the ground moves straight to a location where it makes you stop.
Tape the D-pad in the direction of the moving ground. Check
on it every once in awhile to make sure it is still working. Keep
the game in this state for a few hours for easy experience.
Information in this section was contributed by John Collins.
Note: This trick requires the Vs Seeker, a bike, and Experience
Share. Have a level 50 or greater Pokemon with a powerful attack.
Get the Pokemon you want to level up out of the PC. Give it the
Experience Share and repeatedly fight the trainers at the top
of cycling road. This is a good location because the Pokemon here
are about level 30, and there are a lot of trainers in view. Let
the Pokemon try its luck fighting them when it gets to level 25.
To get rich during this, give the Pokemon that fights most of
the time the Amulet Coin. Another good way is to fight the Elite
Four with the Experience Share Pokemon with you.
Information in this section was contributed by Kris Reuter.
Get either a Zapdos or a Fearow that knows the move "Drill
Peck". Make sure it is at least level 53. Put it at the head
of the party. Place any level 60 Pokemon second, the Pokemon you
want to gain the experience third, and equip it with the Exp.
Share. Give your lead Pokemon the Amulet Coin. In the last three
slots, you can put Eggs that you wish to hatch. Go to Kindle Road
on One Island. Move north towards Mt. Ember. There should be five
trainers there. Defeat them, then use the Vs. Seeker to face them
again. They have Primeapes, Machokes, and Machamps at levels 55
and 56. Repeatedly defeat them to gain quick experience and money.
To heal, go north to the Ember Spa and go to the Rejuvenation
Pool. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Go to the Pokemon Day Care Center. Give him the Pokemon you wish
to level up. That Pokemon gets experience for every step you take.
Go outside and walk around. If you do this for a very long time
the Pokemon will get more experience and then level up.
Information in this section was contributed by Matt Steigely.
Go to Biker's Pass and go to the six Bikers/Cue Balls. Beat them
up. Use the Vs. Checker and keep fighting them. You can get Easy
Pokeyen and experience. This can help you defeat the Elite Four
easier.

This trick requires access to Four Island and to Team Rocket's
Warehouse. Go to the Day Care at Four Island. Give them one or
two Pokemon you want to raise in level. Go to Team Rocket's Warehouse.
This is the smart party. The Day Care will only raise your Pokemon
when you walk, which means you cannot let your character stand
on one location and wait for leveling. Go to one of the "arrow"
objects in the Warehouse (the things that pull you in a direction
when you walk on them). Take the first one to the left when you
enter. Tape down Left and your character will walk on the
arrow, then be forced in the opposite direction. He will repeat
indefinitely. This will count as steps for the Day Care, and they
will now train your Pokemon while your character walks nonstop.
Information in this section was contributed by Chris.
Hint: Determining Pokemon's feelings towards
you: When you use an item on one of your Pokemon outside
of a battle, such as a Potion, the Pokemon will either move closer
or away from you in the short intermission sequence. How far the
Pokemon moves depends on how much it likes you. If it does not
move at all, it feels neutral.

Hint: Answers to Blaine's questions: The answers, in order are: yes, no, no, no, yes, and
no.
Information in this section was contributed by Nin10doFreak92.
Hint: Trainer name comment: At the Pokemon Trainer Fan Club in Saffron City, the
blonde man in the back will mention the last person you battled
in real life. For example, if you battle a friend who named their
character "Dusty", he will say, "Dusty's cool,
huh? I love the way he talks. I'd really relish a chance to meet
him in person once."
Information in this section was contributed by Bendilin.
Hint: No music: This trick requires the Pokemon Flute. When you are
in the middle of using the Pokemon Flute during a battle, press
L or R, then go back to the battle screen. There
will be no music for a few seconds. This also works if you are
healing your Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by Kevin.
Hint: Finding rarer Pokemon: When you run in grassy areas, the stronger and rarer
Pokemon are found towards the outside of the field. When you encounter
a stronger or rarer Pokemon, the screen will fade with white colored
horizontal rectangles before you battle it.
Information in this section was contributed by siamesefighter_10.
Hint: Catching Pokemon easily: When catching a Pokemon (for example, a legendary),
buy one good Pokeball (for example, a Master Ball) then buy a
large number of normal Pokeballs. Go to the place where you want
to catch a Pokemon. Then got to your bag. Go to the Pokeballs.
Use the single good Pokeball then use a normal Pokeball. When
you are throwing the Pokeball hold A + B, then when
it goes one way release A and keep holding B.

Hint: Steps needed to hatch a egg: You must take 1,500 steps. Go to a place with a lot
of room.
Information in this section was contributed by Joeyafolvarcik.
Use the following trick to easily pass the time needed to hatch
an egg. Make sure you have the Acro Bike. Go to the Mauville Desert
or other area and try to run up the slope. Weigh or tape down
Up. You character will still be trying to go up the hill,
and it counts as steps.
Information in this section was contributed by DarkYoshisPlanet.
Hint: Training locations: The following are recommended places to train your
Pokemon. Remember that all places must have to have been visited
by you (except 8 or 9 Island). This list is the key to easy training

the Elite Four and wiping out your Rival.

have had a successful egg "birth" in the past. Make
sure the Daycare man says they like each other or something similar.
Then, go into the Icefall Cave. Wait in there for awhile, then
go back to the Daycare. Talk to the man and he will have an egg,
even though he is standing inside his fence. This may require
a few attempts.

Glitch: Pokedex description: Get a Tododile and evolve it to a Felaligator. Check
the Pokedex and it will describe it as a "Big Pokemon"
instead of "Big Jaw Pokemon".

Glitch: Marowak's ghost: In Pokemon Tower, before you go to the floor where
Mr. Fuji is, you will have to face a level 30 Marowak that is
the ghost of a Cubone's mother. Normally, you cannot catch this
Pokemon (it will dodge any Pokeball you throw at it), but in some
cases while you are going through the floors at Pokemon Tower,
a glitch will happen. It will allow you to catch it only on your
first turn, and the battle will end. However, after this is done
you will have to re-battle the Marowak ghost.
Glitch: Incorrect dialogue: Go to the Pokemon Center in front of Mt. Moon. Talk
to the man that asks you if you want to buy a Magikarp for $500.
If you are the male trainer, he will call you "Miss".
