Getting Started:
When starting a new game in Pokemon Red, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing your starter Pokemon. You’ll have a choice between Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. In this chapter, we’ll take a closer look at each of these Pokemon to help you make an informed decision.
Charmander: Charmander is a Fire-type Pokemon, which means it’s strong against Grass-type Pokemon but weak against Water-type Pokemon. Its primary attack is Ember, a fire-based attack that can deal heavy damage to opponents. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon at level 16 and then into Charizard at level 36. Charizard is a dual Fire/Flying-type Pokemon that can learn powerful attacks like Flamethrower and Fly.
Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon, which means it’s strong against Water-type and Ground-type Pokemon but weak against Fire-type and Psychic-type Pokemon. Its primary attack is Vine Whip, a Grass-type attack that can deal decent damage to opponents. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 16 and then into Venusaur at level 32. Venusaur is a dual Grass/Poison-type Pokemon that can learn powerful attacks like Solar Beam and Sleep Powder.
Squirtle: Squirtle is a Water-type Pokemon, which means it’s strong against Fire-type Pokemon but weak against Grass-type Pokemon. Its primary attack is Water Gun, a Water-type attack that can deal decent damage to opponents. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle at level 16 and then into Blastoise at level 36. Blastoise is a dual Water-type Pokemon that can learn powerful attacks like Hydro Pump and Skull Bash.
Ultimately, the choice of starter Pokemon comes down to personal preference and playstyle. Charmander is a great choice for players who like to deal heavy damage with Fire-based attacks, Bulbasaur is a good choice for players who prefer a Grass-type Pokemon with decent attack and defense stats, and Squirtle is a solid choice for players who want a reliable Water-type Pokemon with strong defense.
No matter which Pokemon you choose, remember to train it carefully and level it up frequently to make sure it can hold its own against stronger opponents later in the game. And don’t forget to have fun – after all, that’s what Pokemon is all about!
Basic Controls:
Movement: To move your character, use the directional pad on your Game Boy. Press up to move north, down to move south, left to move west, and right to move east. You can also move diagonally by pressing two directions simultaneously. Hold down the B button to make your character run.

If you come across a hidden item, you can use the Itemfinder to locate it. To use the Itemfinder, open your bag and select it. It will beep faster the closer you get to the hidden item.
Battling: Pokémon battles are the heart of the game. When you encounter a wild Pokémon or a trainer, a battle will begin. During a battle, you can choose from four options: Fight, Bag, Pokémon, and Run.
- Fight: This option allows you to attack your opponent with your Pokémon’s moves.
- Bag: This option allows you to use items such as potions, revives, and poke balls.
- Pokémon: This option allows you to switch between your Pokémon and choose a different one to battle with.
- Run: This option allows you to attempt to flee from the battle. However, it’s not always successful.
Each Pokémon has a type, such as Fire, Water, or Grass. Some types are strong against others, while others are weak. It’s important to know your Pokémon’s type and which types they are strong and weak against to have the upper hand in battles.
In addition to battling, you can also catch wild Pokémon by using poke balls. When you weaken a wild Pokémon in battle, throw a poke ball to try and catch it. The stronger the Pokémon, the harder it is to catch.
That concludes our chapter on basic controls and mechanics. Practice moving around and interacting with objects, and learn your Pokémon’s types to prepare for battles. Good luck on your journey to becoming a Pokémon master!
NAVIGATION:
Navigating the vast world of Pokemon Red can be daunting, but with a little guidance, you’ll be able to explore with confidence. This chapter will cover the basics of navigating the game’s various towns, routes, and landmarks.
Firstly, let’s talk about towns. Each town has a unique layout and set of buildings to explore. Some towns have shops where you can purchase items such as Poke Balls, healing items, and status healers. Other towns have important landmarks, like gyms or Pokemon Centers.
Routes, on the other hand, are areas that connect towns together. These areas typically contain grassy patches where wild Pokemon can be encountered, as well as trainers looking for battles. It’s important to be prepared before venturing into a new route by stocking up on healing items and making sure your Pokemon are fully healed.
As you explore, keep an eye out for landmarks such as caves or forests. These areas often contain rare Pokemon and items that can’t be found elsewhere. Make sure to explore thoroughly and speak to any NPCs you come across, as they may have valuable information or items to give you.
It’s also important to remember that you can always return to areas you’ve previously explored. This can be useful if you need to train your Pokemon or backtrack to an earlier town to purchase items you may have missed.
In terms of movement, the game’s controls are relatively simple. Use the directional pad to move your character, and the A button to interact with objects or talk to NPCs. To access your Pokemon menu, press the Start button and select the Pokemon option.
Finally, let’s touch on battling. Battles are an essential part of the game and can occur both in the wild and against trainers. During battles, you can use a variety of moves to weaken your opponent’s Pokemon and ultimately defeat them. It’s important to pay attention to your Pokemon’s health and use healing items when necessary.
By following these basic tips and exploring the world of Pokemon Red, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a skilled trainer.
Capturing wild Pokémon is a fundamental aspect of playing Pokémon Red. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the series, mastering the art of capturing wild Pokémon is essential for building a powerful team of Pokémon. In this chapter, we’ll cover the basics of capturing wild Pokémon, including battling, weakening, and using Poké Balls.
Battling Wild Pokémon:
Before you can capture a wild Pokémon, you’ll need to battle it. When you encounter a wild Pokémon, your screen will switch to a battle scene. During the battle, you’ll have the option to choose from a variety of moves and items to use against the wild Pokémon. Each move has its own type, such as fire, water, or grass, which can be super effective or not very effective against certain types of Pokémon. It’s important to learn each type’s strengths and weaknesses to maximize your chances of winning battles.
Weakening Wild Pokémon:
Once you’ve selected your move, you’ll need to weaken the wild Pokémon. This can be done by lowering its HP (hit points) through attacking it with your Pokémon’s moves. Be careful not to knock out the wild Pokémon, as this will end the battle and you won’t be able to capture it. Instead, try to lower its HP to a level where it’s weak but still able to battle.
Using Poké Balls:
Once the wild Pokémon’s HP is low enough, it’s time to capture it using a Poké Ball. There are several types of Poké Balls, each with different capture rates. The standard Poké Ball has a 1x capture rate, while more advanced balls such as the Great Ball and Ultra Ball have higher capture rates. Using a higher-level ball can increase your chances of capturing a wild Pokémon.
To use a Poké Ball, select it from your bag and throw it at the wild Pokémon. The ball will then shake a certain number of times before either capturing the Pokémon or breaking open, depending on the capture rate of the ball and the strength of the wild Pokémon. If the Poké Ball successfully captures the wild Pokémon, it will be added to your team.
Conclusion:
Capturing wild Pokémon is a key part of building a strong team in Pokémon Red. By mastering the basics of battling, weakening, and using Poké Balls, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a Pokémon master. Remember to always be prepared with a variety of moves and Poké Balls, and to take advantage of each Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses. With these tips, you’ll be catching wild Pokémon in no time!
Tips for finding and catching rare pokemon:
Tip 1: Explore new areas The key to finding rare Pokémon is to explore new areas. You should visit different towns and cities, and keep an eye out for hidden areas that you might have missed. Some rare Pokémon can only be found in specific areas, so it’s important to explore the game’s map thoroughly.
Tip 2: Check different times of day Different Pokémon appear at different times of the day, so it’s important to check back in areas you’ve already visited at different times. Some Pokémon, like Hoothoot, only come out at night, while others like Clefairy, can only be found during the day.
Tip 3: Use different Poké Balls Using different types of Poké Balls can increase your chances of catching rare Pokémon. For example, the Ultra Ball has a higher success rate for catching rare Pokémon than the standard Poké Ball. Additionally, the Great Ball is also useful for catching Pokémon that are a little harder to catch than usual.
Tip 4: Use status conditions Status conditions like sleep or paralysis can increase your chances of catching a rare Pokémon. When a Pokémon is asleep or paralyzed, it’s easier to catch them with a Poké Ball. You can inflict these conditions on the wild Pokémon by using moves like Hypnosis or Thunder Wave.
Tip 5: Keep your Pokémon healthy It’s important to keep your Pokémon healthy while searching for rare Pokémon. Make sure to stock up on Potions and other healing items before heading out to explore new areas. This way, your Pokémon can withstand battles with other trainers and wild Pokémon, increasing your chances of encountering and catching rare Pokémon.
Building a balanced team:
Introduction:
One of the keys to success in Pokémon Red is building a balanced team of Pokémon. A balanced team can help you overcome the different challenges you’ll face as you progress through the game. In this chapter, we’ll discuss what a balanced team is and how to build one.
Understanding Types:
The first step in building a balanced team is understanding the different types of Pokémon. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some are more effective against certain types than others. For example, water-type Pokémon are strong against fire-type Pokémon, but weak against grass-type Pokémon.
To build a balanced team, you’ll want to have a mix of different types that cover each other’s weaknesses. This means having at least one Pokémon that can handle each type of opponent you might encounter.
Building a Balanced Team:
When building a balanced team, you’ll want to consider each of your Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses. Ideally, you’ll want a mix of offensive and defensive Pokémon, as well as some that can use status moves to help you in battles.
Offensive Pokémon are those that can deal a lot of damage to opponents. This includes Pokémon with high attack or special attack stats, as well as those that can learn powerful moves.
Defensive Pokémon are those that can take a lot of damage without fainting. This includes Pokémon with high defense or special defense stats, as well as those that can learn moves that boost their defenses.
Status move Pokémon are those that can use moves that affect the status of their opponents. This includes moves that can poison, paralyze, or put opponents to sleep.
Evolving Your Pokémon:
Another important factor in building a balanced team is evolving your Pokémon. As your Pokémon evolve, they’ll become stronger and learn new moves. You’ll want to evolve your Pokémon as soon as possible to give them the best chance of success.
Training Your Pokémon:
Finally, training your Pokémon is essential to building a balanced team. You’ll want to make sure each Pokémon is leveled up evenly and has a mix of offensive and defensive moves. You can also use items like vitamins to boost their stats and make them stronger.
Trainer battles are an integral part of the Pokémon experience. They allow you to test your skills against other trainers and their Pokémon, and offer a chance to earn valuable experience points and rewards. However, to succeed in trainer battles, you must understand the different types of battles, the importance of levels, and the strategies that can help you emerge victorious.
Types of battles
There are two main types of trainer battles in Pokémon: single battles and double battles. In a single battle, you and your opponent each select one Pokémon to battle with. In a double battle, you and your opponent select two Pokémon each to battle with. The battles take place on a split screen, with each trainer controlling one side.
Levels
Levels are a critical component of trainer battles. Each Pokémon has a level, which determines its overall strength and determines its moves and abilities. The higher the level, the stronger the Pokémon. As you battle and win, your Pokémon gain experience points (XP) which help them level up. When a Pokémon levels up, it may learn new moves, become stronger, or gain new abilities.
Strategy
Developing a winning strategy for trainer battles requires an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different Pokémon types. Each Pokémon type has strengths and weaknesses against other types, so it’s important to choose your Pokémon carefully. For example, if you are facing a trainer with a fire-type Pokémon, you may want to choose a water-type Pokémon to counter their fire moves.
Another key strategy in trainer battles is to be aware of the moves and abilities of your opponent’s Pokémon. By paying attention to what they are using, you can anticipate their next move and choose the best Pokémon to counter it.
It’s also important to consider the overall balance of your team. Building a team with a variety of types and moves can help you counter any opponent you may face. Finally, don’t forget to use items and healing moves during battles to keep your Pokémon healthy and increase your chances of winning.
Gym Leaders are some of the toughest trainers you’ll face in the game, and they’re responsible for awarding you with badges that prove your strength as a trainer. Each Gym Leader has a particular type of Pokémon that they specialize in, and it’s important to know their strengths and weaknesses before you challenge them. In this chapter, we’ll go over each of the Gym Leaders in the Kanto region, their Pokémon, and some strategies to help you defeat them.
Pewter City Gym Leader: Brock is the first Gym Leader you’ll face, and he specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. This means that his Pokémon are weak to Water, Grass, and Fighting-type moves. He has two Pokémon: a Geodude and an Onix. Both are weak to Water and Grass-type moves, but Onix has a higher defense, making it a little more difficult to defeat. The best strategy is to use a Water-type Pokémon like Squirtle or a Grass-type Pokémon like Bulbasaur to defeat his Pokémon.
Cerulean City Gym Leader: Misty is the second Gym Leader you’ll face, and she specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Her Pokémon are weak to Electric and Grass-type moves. She has two Pokémon: a Staryu and a Starmie. Staryu is relatively weak, but Starmie is a tough opponent due to its high speed and special attack. The best strategy is to use an Electric-type Pokémon like Pikachu or a Grass-type Pokémon like Bulbasaur to defeat her Pokémon.
Vermilion City Gym Leader: Lt. Surge is the third Gym Leader you’ll face, and he specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. His Pokémon are weak to Ground-type moves. He has three Pokémon: a Voltorb, a Pikachu, and a Raichu. All of his Pokémon are fast and can hit hard, so it’s important to have a Pokémon that can withstand their attacks. The best strategy is to use a Ground-type Pokémon like Diglett or a Water-type Pokémon like Squirtle to defeat his Pokémon.
Celadon City Gym Leader: Erika is the fourth Gym Leader you’ll face, and she specializes in Grass-type Pokémon. Her Pokémon are weak to Fire, Flying, Bug, and Ice-type moves. She has three Pokémon: a Tangela, a Victreebel, and a Vileplume. All of her Pokémon have high defense, so it’s important to use Pokémon with high attack power to defeat them. The best strategy is to use a Fire-type Pokémon like Charmander or a Flying-type Pokémon like Pidgeotto to defeat her Pokémon.
Fuchsia City Gym Leader: Koga is the fifth Gym Leader you’ll face, and he specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. His Pokémon are weak to Psychic-type moves. He has four Pokémon: a Koffing, a Muk, a Koffing, and a Weezing. All of his Pokémon can inflict status conditions on your Pokémon, so it’s important to have Pokémon with strong attacks and good defenses. The best strategy is to use a Psychic-type Pokémon like Abra or a Ground-type Pokémon like Diglett to defeat his Pokémon.
Saffron City Gym Leader: Sabrina Sabrina is the sixth Gym Leader you’ll face, and she specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon.
including Abra, Kadabra, and her ace, Alakazam.
To defeat Sabrina, it’s important to have a few different strategies up your sleeve. Dark-type Pokémon like Umbreon or Tyranitar are immune to psychic-type moves, making them a good choice for taking on Sabrina’s team. Bug-type Pokémon like Scizor or Heracross can also do well against psychic-types.
In addition to type advantages, it’s also important to be prepared for Sabrina’s psychic powers. Many of her Pokémon have high special defense stats, so it may be necessary to bring in physical attackers like Machamp or Golem to deal significant damage.
Cinnabar Island Gym Leader: Blaine is the fire-type specialist and the leader of the Cinnabar Island Gym. His team consists of a variety of fire-type Pokémon, including Growlithe, Rapidash, and his ace, Magmar.
To defeat Blaine, it’s important to have a few different strategies up your sleeve. Water-type Pokémon like Lapras or Vaporeon are a good choice for taking on Blaine’s team, as they are immune to fire-type moves.
However, some of Blaine’s Pokémon, like Magmar, also have access to moves that can counter water-types, so it’s important to be prepared for those as well. Ground-type Pokémon like Rhydon or Nidoking can also do well against fire-types.
Viridian City Gym Leader: Giovanni is the leader of the Viridian City Gym and the former boss of Team Rocket. His team consists of a variety of ground-type Pokémon, including Dugtrio, Nidoqueen, and his ace, Rhyhorn.
To defeat Giovanni, it’s important to have a few different strategies up your sleeve. Water-type Pokémon like Lapras or Vaporeon can do well against ground-types, as can grass-types like Venusaur or Victreebel.
However, some of Giovanni’s Pokémon, like Nidoqueen, also have access to moves that can counter those types, so it’s important to be prepared for those as well. Ice-type moves can also be effective against ground-types, so consider bringing a Pokémon with access to those moves, like Articuno or Dewgong.
Elite Four
Once you’ve defeated all eight gym leaders, it’s time to take on the Elite Four. These are the toughest trainers in the game, and they will put your skills to the test.
The Elite Four consists of four trainers, each with their own specialty:
- Lorelei, an ice-type specialist
- Bruno, a fighting-type specialist
- Agatha, a ghost-type specialist
- Lance, a dragon-type specialist
To defeat the Elite Four, it’s important to have a balanced team of Pokémon that can handle a variety of different types

Breeding Pokémon: How to Create the Strongest and Rarest Species in Pokemon Red
Breeding is one of the most important and exciting aspects of Pokémon games, and Pokemon Red is no exception. With the right strategies and techniques, you can breed the strongest and rarest species in the game. In this chapter, we will go over the basics of breeding in Pokemon Red, including how to breed, what factors affect breeding, and how to create the perfect Pokémon for your team.
Breeding Basics Breeding in Pokemon Red involves leaving two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care Center to create an egg. The egg will hatch into a new Pokémon with a combination of traits from both parents. To breed, you will need to find a male and female Pokémon of the same species or two Pokémon that are part of the same egg group. Once you have your breeding pair, you will need to leave them at the Day Care Center and wait for an egg to appear.
Factors Affecting Breeding Several factors can affect breeding in Pokemon Red. First, the gender of the Pokémon will determine which moves and abilities the offspring will inherit. In addition, some Pokémon are only able to breed with others in their same egg group, so it’s important to pay attention to the egg group of the Pokémon you want to breed. Finally, the level of the parents will also determine the level of the offspring, so if you want a high-level Pokémon, make sure the parents are high-level as well.
Breeding Strategies To create the strongest and rarest species in Pokemon Red, you will need to employ some breeding strategies. One strategy is to breed for specific moves or abilities by using a male Pokémon with the desired moves or abilities to breed with a female of the same species. Another strategy is to breed for specific stats by using a Ditto, a Pokémon that can breed with any other Pokémon, to breed with the desired Pokémon. This will increase the chances of producing offspring with the desired stats.
Creating the Perfect Pokémon Once you have your breeding pair and strategy in place, it’s time to create the perfect Pokémon for your team. This involves selectively breeding for specific traits and stats until you have a Pokémon with the perfect combination of moves, abilities, and stats. This can take some time and patience, but the end result will be a Pokémon that is customized to your needs and can help you dominate the game.
Conclusion Breeding is an essential aspect of Pokémon games, and with the right strategies and techniques, you can create the strongest and rarest species in Pokemon Red. By paying attention to factors such as gender, egg groups, and level, and employing breeding strategies, you can create the perfect Pokémon for your team. So get out there, find your breeding pair, and start hatching those eggs!
Unlocking the True Ending of Pokemon Red & Blue
After becoming the Pokemon League Champion, many players assume they have beaten the game and seen everything it has to offer. However, there is a hidden aspect of the game that unlocks the true ending.
To unlock this ending, players must first capture all 150 Pokemon in the game. This includes evolving Pokemon and obtaining the rarest ones like Mewtwo and the legendary birds. Once all Pokemon are caught, players must then visit Professor Oak in Pallet Town to receive a special item called the Diploma. This diploma acknowledges the player as a true Pokemon Master.
With the diploma in hand, players can then travel to the previously inaccessible area known as the Cerulean Cave. In the depths of the cave, players will find an entrance to a new area known as the Unknown Dungeon. This dungeon is home to the strongest trainers in the game, and at the end of it, players will face the true final boss, Mewtwo.
Defeating Mewtwo is no easy feat, as it is incredibly powerful and requires a well-trained team of Pokemon to take down. However, once Mewtwo is defeated, players will be treated to a special ending that showcases the player’s journey to become the ultimate Pokemon Master.
In addition to the special ending, unlocking the true ending also unlocks the ability to catch Mew. Mew is one of the rarest and most sought-after Pokemon in the game, and it cannot be caught through normal means. With the true ending unlocked, players can use a glitch in the game to encounter and catch Mew.
Unlocking the true ending of Pokemon Red is no easy task, but it is a rewarding one. It is the ultimate achievement for any Pokemon trainer, and it showcases the true dedication and skill required to become a Pokemon Master.
