Pathetique

I beat Saffron, have 6 badges and went to the island but they are blocked by the purple NPCs? So in order to do the subway quest/bike path, I must get the bike no matter what? I only have 30000....

But it seems like I must get a bike to get through route 16? I am stuck again after beating Saffron

So I got the badge from Fuchsia city, got surf and saw Articuno, then I got stuck. I read I must get a bike to proceed but I don't have 75000 to buy the voucher. What do I do??

Thought I broke the game or never be able to catch snorlax but sounds like I can still catch one in the wild. No big complaints there, thank you all!

After using the flute on the snorlax on the bridge, I was about half way through its HP and wanted to catch it but the game froze. When I restarted the game, snorlax was gone and the three kid NPCs were there. Am I screwed?
