Yellow and Red characters.

You'll need to use all three of the versions (Yellow, Red and Blue) to collect all
of the Pokemon.

Test your training skills by battling against a friend using the Game Boy Link
Cable.

Save your Pokemon collection and game progress on the Game Pak memory.

Japan has been taken over by monsters, and no, not Godzilla. The 
craze over Pokemon (called 'Pocket Monsters' in Japan) has spread
from the Pokemon Game Boy games to toys, clothing, cartoons and 
even snack food. 
You can't go anywhere in Japan without running into Pokemon, and
now, it's coming to America. 
Pokemon appeals to many ages and types of fan, which is a big
part of why it's so popular. Players enjoy the role-playing,
collecting and trading aspects of the game, which make Pokemon
so unique. 
The primary goal in Pokemon is to find, capture and train various
monsters, all in an effort to become the world's greatest Pokemon
trainer. You'll choose one of three tamed 'starter' monsters at the
beginning of the game to help you capture other monsters. 
There are 151 monsters in 15 different categories. Each category
will be based on a specific characteristic or element, such as
water, fire, flora, etc. There's a catch, though: there will are three
versions of the game, a Red version, a Blue version and a Yellow
version, and not all of the monsters will be on any one Game Pak.
To collect all 151 monsters, you'll have to trade. 
In Japan, this monster-collecting feature has made America's
trading card frenzy seem tame by comparison. Collecting the
monsters is simply addictive -- but that's just the half of it! 
You'll be able to customize your Pokemon by training them
differently as they grow and evolve. 
For example, two fire-breathing Charmanders may end up with very
different skills and abilities by the time they evolve into their most
powerful forms. The possibilities are endless with Pokemon!

Talk to the old man at viridian city and let him show you how to catch pokemon. Put the item that you want to 
be 99+ in the 6th place in your item screen then fly to cinnabar island and surf along the edge of the land and 
water and when a glitch appears desstroy it and then you will have 99+ of the item you chose.

to the renamer's house in Lavender Town. Ask him to change the name of all your Raichus. Now use the 10 leaf 
stones on your level 98 Raichu.Next use 2 rare candies on the level 98 Raichu. It should turn into a Pikabud.

Pokemon Blue is a good game. It is a strategy game with many large levels available to play. It's quite difficult bust 
once you get used to it, it gets a bit easier. The only faults that I've found so-far are the fact that you need both 
Pokemon red and blue to collect all 150 pokemon, and that there are too many wild pokemon in the grassy areas and 
in caves. Its pretty annoying if you keep having to stop for pokemon fights every 30 seconds. The game isn't very 
good if you haven't encountered difficult strategy games before.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
99 of Any Item
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" (a glitch like
Missingno.) Once you see him, kill him or run away. DO NOT CATCH HIM! After that, you should have 99 of your sixth
item!

Boss 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:

   1.Plant
   2.Water, Plant, Flight, Ice
   3.Psy
   4.Ice or Dragon
   5.Your choice

Good Luck!

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.

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 becaus 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 MissingNo.
Warning! Catch missingno in the red version may delete your old game and prevent you from saving any other games.

To get MissingNo (a glitch) go to Cinnabar Island and go into the Pokémon Research Labratory and trade with anyone in the
first room. Then leave the Lab and go to the EAST of Cinnabar Island and surf up and down on the part where the land meets
the water. Eventually the battle screen will come up and the screen goes black for about 5 seconds.

Once you find him I suggest you use a Level 30 to 40 Pokemon. This is because Missing No., even at Lv. 80, has a VERY low
defense rating. So get him down pretty low. Even at low he is still extremely difficult to catch. So next get a Pokemon that
knows a sleep move and put him to sleep. Follow this up with a couple Ultra Balls and you should have him.

NOTE: Catching MissingNo. may cause minor glitches. Also note that if he evolves (i.e., by receiving a Rare Candy) he will
turn into a Khangiskahn.

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.

   1.Talk to the old man in Viridian City who shows you how to catch pokemon.
   2.Fly directly to Cinnabar Island.
   3.Put your strongest pokemon on your team.
   4.You might want to save now.
   5.Surf on the shore where the land touches water.
   6.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.
