Pokémon found in New Bark Town:
|
|
|
|
#152 Chikorita
|
|
#155 Cyndaquil
|
|
#158 Totodile
|
|
|
|
Items found in New Bark Town:
|
|
|
|
Everstone
|
|
Pokegear
|
|
|
|
When you first start, you will be in New Bark Town. Choose new game and start.
|
|
Afterwards, Professor Oak will ask you the time. First answer what hour it is
|
|
and what minute it is, so you are setting the game's time.
|
|
|
|
There is a default time, which is 10:00 AM, but you may set the time for
|
|
whatever you'd like it to be. Preferably, it should be the time that it is where
|
|
you live, because then it'd make more sense. They have it well-programmed on
|
|
Gold/Silver that even if you don't have the GBA on, the time will keep running.
|
|
|
|
Then, Professor Oak will welcome you to the world of Pokémon like the older
|
|
versions of Pokémon and introduces you to Professor Elm. Basically Pokémon
|
|
cannot be lived without in the worlds of Johto and Kanto. Then he asks you what
|
|
your name is, so input that. Choose something as your name and your Pokémon
|
|
Gold/Silver adventure finally unfolds!
|
|
|
|
You are in your room at the beginning. Exit the room, and you will meet your
|
|
mom. She tells you that your Pokegear is back from the repair shop. You get the
|
|
Pokegear. Pokegear is used to call people on a phone and also see the day and
|
|
time of the day. Then, when she asks you to input the day of the week, put that
|
|
in. You can even put in Daylight Savings Time. How cool! Remember, that's the
|
|
cycle from April to October. The other half of the year is not. The Phone is
|
|
part of the Pokegear, so simply go there and phone whoever. Kinda cool,
|
|
actually. She'll want you to call from time to time.
|
|
|
|
Leave your house and head left to Professor Elm's lab. Notice the guy standing
|
|
left of it in that little corner. That will be your rival. If you talk to him,
|
|
he'll push you out of the way. So rude. Anyway, go into Elm's lab. He'll want
|
|
you to do him a favor by raising up a Pokémon. Win-win situation, no? He rants
|
|
on about Mr. Pokémon's real discovery which wouldn't make any sense yet. You get
|
|
to pick your starter Pokémon. Which Pokémon should you take?
|
|
|

|
|
|THE STARTERS|
|
|
|------------|
|
|
|
|
As I mentioned before, your starter Pokémon choice really matters. You can't get
|
|
the other two starters short of restarting your game save, getting a second game
|
|
(like the other version), or trading someone else for one. Which Pokémon should
|
|
YOU choose? Let's analyze all three starters. Thard_Verad notes that the
|
|
evolution levels vary in this game:
|
|
|
|
"Chikorita -16-> Bayleef -32-> Meganium
|
|
Cyndaquil -14-> Quilava -36-> Typhlosion
|
|
Totodile -18-> Croconaw -30-> Feraligatr
|
|
|
|
As you can see, Cyndaquil is first to evolve into its intermediate form, but
|
|
slowest to reach its final form. Totodile is the other way
|
|
around, and Chikorita is in the middle."
|
|
|
|
Here are additional thoughts below on each type.
|
|
|
|
CHIKORITA: Grass Type.
|
|
|
|
Chikorita is the hardest starter to start with and will struggle against the
|
|
first two gyms. Chikorita will also struggle a bit against the fourthgym. And
|
|
Team Rocket likes using poison types, which have a type advantage against grass
|
|
types. Expert trainers should use Chikorita if they want a challenge.
|
|
|
|
Moves to Keep:
|
|
|
|
Tackle (35 PWR) => Body Slam (85 PWR)
|
|
Growl => Poison Powder => HM04 Strength (80 PWR)
|
|
Razor Leaf (55 PWR) => Solar Beam (120 PWR)
|
|
Reflect => Synthesis
|
|
|
|
CYNDAQUIL: Fire Type.
|
|
|
|
Cyndaquil evolves to its second form faster than the other two starters and has
|
|
a powerful Flamethrower move in its final form. Cyndaquil is the best starter
|
|
for the first two gyms, but slows down a bit after that because Cyndaquil only
|
|
really has fire and normal type moves.
|
|
|
|
Moves to Keep:
|
|
|
|
Tackle (35 PWR) => Quick Attack (40 PWR)
|
|
Leer => Swift (60 PWR) => HM04 Strength (80 PWR)
|
|
SmokeScreen => Flamethrower (95 PWR)
|
|
Ember (40 PWR) => Flame Wheel (60 PWR)
|
|
|
|
TOTODILE: Water Type.
|
|
|
|
Totodile is a great choice for speedrunning. When evolved, it can make use of
|
|
two powerful HMs: Surf AND Strength. Totodile also eventually gets Bite, a dark
|
|
type move, for balance.
|
|
|
|
Moves to Keep:
|
|
|
|
Scratch (40 PWR) => Slash (70 PWR) => Hydro Pump (120 PWR)
|
|
Leer => Bite (60 PWR)
|
|
Rage (20 PWR) => HM04 Strength (80 PWR)
|
|
Water Gun (40 PWR) => HM03 Surf (95 PWR)
