Red/Blue Hints
Gym leader Tactics
Here are your best bets for beating the
Pokemon Gym Leaders:
Brock: Use water or grass Pokemon
against this rock trainer.
Misty: Use grass pokemon or
electric to defeat this gym leader.
Leiutenant Surge: use a rock or
ground pokemon and he's toast.
Erika: Use fire pokemon or flight
against this plant lover and shatter her dreams of fighting you again.
Sabrina: Use bug or ghost against
this psychomaniac and she is a goner.
Koga: This poison pokemon lover
will be deafeted easily by using psy pokemon.
Blaine: This fire trainer will use
fire pokemon against you so you can use water or ice.
Final boss: Giovanni, the team
rocket leader, is the final gym leader - use water, ice, plant and he's out of there (and
talk to him again and he says something to you).
In the Indigo Plateu you find 5
pokemon masters. Use this pokemon lineup for a better chance of success:
Plant
Water, Plant, Flight, Ice
Psychic
Ice or Dragon
Your choice
Celadon City Slot Tip
All of the slot machines have different
odds, which change every time. Play each machine 4 times, and if it hits 2 or more, then
stick with that one, because it's probably hot. If the slow machine forces you really
close to a 777 or Bar Bar Bar it will probably give you one or the other soon.
Cut Down Grassy Areas
Once you get the HM "cut", your
pokemon can cut down grassy areas. Use "cut" and it will cut a two by two area.
Wild Pokemon will not attack you in the area you cut.
Duplicate Items
To get 99 of any item, first put the item
you want to multiply in the sixth item slot. Now use FLY and go to Viridian City. Talk to
the old man almost all the way north of the town. When he asks if you are in a hurry, say
no and watch him catch a weedle. Right after that, fly to Fuchsia city. Make your way
south and, when you you reach the water's edge, use SURF and make your way to Seafoam
island. When you get to seafoam island, swim up and down the beach until you run into a
Pokemon called "M" (Missingno.) Once you see him, kill him or run away. DO
NOT CATCH HIM! After that, you should have multiple copies of your sixth item!
Easy Level Gain
To easily gain experience, simply switch the
Pokémon you want to train with the top Pokémon on your list. When you go into battle the
Pokémon will pop out. You can then switch to another Pokémon. Once you win the battle
the beginning Pokémon and the fighting Pokémon will both gain experience points.
Extra Damage
While fighting, select your desired attack.
When it says you are going to use that attack (eg. "Venusaur used Razor Leaf"),
hold down the A button until your opponent's life stops draining. If your timing was right
you'll do more damage than usual.
Fight Land Creatures in Water
To fight creatures that normally live on
land in water, go to the water around
Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands (The only
place you can be randomly attacked while swimming.) Swim along the shore of any island and
you will fight land creatures. (You have to swim on a place where the square is half land
and half water.) Instead of fighting a set group of monsters in the water, you actually
fight monsters from the last place you were. So to get safari zone monsters, you need to
go to the section of the safari zone with that monster, let your time run out, then go to
the coast. Using this trick I have caught Kangaskhan, Scyther, and Tauros!
Fight the Elite Four More Than Once
First collect all eaight badges. Then go
through victory road. Next beat the Elite Four. After that your Pokemon will become Hall
of Famors. Then the credits will show, following by your game resetting. Go back to your
Continued Game. You will be back at home. Then fly back and beat them again and again.
This helps your higher leveled Pokemon because you can still get a few thousand exp.
Get Mewtwo
After you have gotten all eight of your
badges you need to go beat the pokemon league. The credits will roll and then the menu
pops up again. DO NOT RESET THE GAME!!!! Go to Cerulean Citygo north to the brige where
you faced 5 trainers before the path to Bill's house. Turn left and there will be a large
area of water. Surf until you get to a cave. You will find Mewtwo in that
cave.
Get the Mimic TM
Buy a Pokedoll in Celadon Mart, then FLY to
Saffron and talk to the Copycat. She will give you the Mimic TM.
Invisible Walls in Koga's Gym
If you look at the floors in Koga's Gym you
will notice it has lines. In some spots you will see little gaps in the lines. These
"gapped lines" are the invisible walls.
Level 100+ Pokemon
Follow these instructions to catch pokemon
with really high levels. Talk to the old man in Viridian City who shows you how to catch
pokemon.
Fly directly to Cinnabar Island. Put your
strongest pokemon on your team. You might want to save now. Surf on the shore where the
land touches water. Keep Surfing until you run into one of these strong pokemon.
These pokemon are well above level 100. Unfortunately, they will revert back to Level 100
if they gain any experience points. Rare Candy is the only thing that raises their level.
They can be used in a two-player battle without losing their level, so have fun
liquidating your friends! NOTE: This is a bug in the game. It will not work in newer
versions of Pokemon and may crash your game if you try it.
Secret Coins
At the Game Corner there are secret coins
lying around. You can get these coins by walking around and pressing the A button.
