Complete Kanto Walkthrough

 

Hello, I've created this guide to help out the newer players who may be struggling with progressing in the story. In this guide, I will go over how to beat the Kanto region's story; from the intro to the Elite 4. Hopefully, you can find use of it and it helps you 🙂

Throughout the guide, I will be linking other guides for side quests or other peoples guides on certain story quests.

This is because I believe it's important to credit the people who have already put in the effort to make helpful guides.

Guides that I don't find a place for or guides that I feel are important to be included will be linked at the bottom of this post.

 

For the users who have been wanting me to create a Johto guide, you can find it in the link provided below. Apologies for not creating it myself, sooner.

I got burned out from the game and the guide was left half complete in my documents. Luckily, SugarRed9 has completed her own.

It follows the same structure as this guide so everything should be familiar to the new players who are following along. Arielgg has also made the Hoenn and Sinnoh guides, so be sure to give a big thanks to her!

To get the most out of this guide, please use CTRL+F to search for the part that you're looking for.

The guide


 

Introduction

 

WELCOME TO PRO! Once you start a new game on any of the two servers, you will be greeted by Professor Oak. From here you can design your character; please note, you cannot change your character's appearance without buying the Magic Mirror from the coin shop. So chose wisely.

 

Spoiler

Once you have chosen your character you will be spawned into the intro world. Follow the dirt path South until you reach Oak; talk to him then continue the path. Eventually, you will reach Mew, it will flee and you can continue the path. Once you reach your mother she will start crying about how much she will miss you, once her dialogue is over you will be teleported to Pallet Town.

Pallet Town

 

Once you spawn in Pallet Town you should leave your home and walk to Professor Oak's Lab, which is at the Southeast of your home. Once there you will be given the option to chose your starter Pokémon. You will also be given your Pokédex. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

When choosing your starter you have 4 options; Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Pikachu.

By choosing Pikachu you unlock an extra side quest where you are able to obtain Ash's hat. Link to guide.

To chose Pikachu you must click "No." on all three starters.

 

Spoiler

After choosing your starter you can exit Oak's Lab and return home.

Talk to your mother then go upstairs and pick the two items on the floor. You will receive 5 Pokéballs and 5 Potions.

Now, leave your house and walk outside. You will notice an Eevee with an orange name. Talk to it and you will trigger a scene with Jackson, your rival.

Talk to Jackson to battle him. If you lose a battle you will drop 5% of your money. 

 

Spoiler

Once you finish the fight you should continue North to Route 1.


 

Route 1

 

Now that you have left Pallet Town you must continue North, to Viridian City. On your way you can talk to the NPC with the brown coat for a free potion.

 

Spoiler

There are also 3 hidden potions behind this tree.

Viridian City

 

Once you enter Viridian, the first thing you will see is a Rare Candy. This Rare Candy will respawn once every 7 days.

 

Spoiler

There is also a trainer here who will trade her Oddish for a Pidgey that has 15 IVs or more in Speed and Attack. If you chose Charmander or Pikachu I recommend this trade as it will greatly help with the first gym.

 

Before you continue the story I recommend training your Pokémon to around level 10. Use Route 22 to train your Pokémon.

Once you are ready for Jackson, enter the school building and go to the lower floor. Confront Jackson and you will battle him. His Eevee is now level 8.

 

Spoiler

If you lose to Jackson then you will have to talk with the Receptions and then return to Pallet Town and ask his mom to come and move him. His house is the one next to yours.

If you beat Jackson then you are free to move on to Viridian Forest. Head North to Route 2 and continue until you reach the stop house.


 

Viridian Forest

 

When you're in Viridian Forest you will find Viridian Maze. The entire maze is pitch black so you will need HM Flash to go through it. Use this guide to help find your way. Link to guide.

Outside of the maze is a boy who has lost his Pidgey to a Team Rocket Grunt. Accept his quest and go into the maze. 

 

Spoiler

ab3b5538fe2cb1266ef6d1aae1b9c121.png.b12eb3a1b90cff6f52217fcd995d2aa7.png

 

After defeating the Rocket Grunt you can return to the boy and you will receive 15 Pokéballs and an Escape Rope as a reward.

Go back into the maze and talk to the girl on a motorbike, she gives you the option to learn headbutt. You should do this as headbutt is quite useful for finding berries and rare Pokémon.

 

Spoiler

ac492fec0bae26b3ea9b357b3b6f0123.png.a81b81d1292506ef6353b25426d06dc1.png

 

Once you've done everything you can in the maze, start to make your way through the forest. Make sure to battle all the trainers as they're a good source of EXP.

After you reach the end of the forest you will exit on Route 2. Use the tall grass here to train your Pokémon to level 15 if they aren't already.


 

Pewter City

 

There isn't much to do in Pewter City except for defeating the gym. Once you enter the city you will be greeted by Team Rocket outside of a Pokécenter. Talk to them then continue to the gym. Brock uses Rock Type so water, grass and fighting are your best options.

He uses a Geodude and an Onix. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 15 for this gym.

 

Spoiler

50eefbf1d6faf74d2e82b20e4157c2ac.png.67ff36369618da9ae6edb38438273780.png

 

After beating Brock he will reward you with the Boulder Badge. By receiving the Boulder Badge you can now use Headbutt and Flash outside of battle if your Pokémon has 150 happiness or more. You also can buy TM34 - Bide from the man near the entrance.

 

When you leave the gym you will talk to Red for the first time. Complete his dialogue and continue to Route 3.


 

Route 3

 

Again, there isn't much to do on Route 3 except for fighting a load of trainers. Once you reach the Pokécenter at the other side you can enter it and purchase a Magikarp.

Outside at the entrance to Mt. Moon, there is a salesman who will sell you 5 Escape Ropes for $2,000. You save $500 with this deal.

 

Spoiler

Mt. Moon

 

Mt. Moon can be a bit of a maze to newer players. When trying to get to the other side you should avoid the first 2 ladders as they only lead you to dig spots.

Instead continue on the first floor until you reach the ladder at the end.

 

Spoiler

a184d5e90f34bbaddfb198c307634ba9.png.74df7e43616076815c53dbf91734de12.png

 

There is also a free Moon Stone here which can be useful later on.

 

Spoiler

db23ce187599f45549bf57b8dece42cc.png.8325195e106af4afbc6248275a46739d.png

 

Continue walking through until you reach Mt. Moon B2F, defeat the Rocket Grunts and talk to the scientist. He will battle you for the fossils that he found. After defeating him you are allowed to chose one to keep.

On the left is the Helix fossil which gives you Omanyte and on the right is the Dome fossil which will give you a Kabuto.

After you take a fossil you can walk forwards a little and battle Jesse and James. After you defeat them you can continue to the exit.

 

Spoiler

Route 4

 

There isn't anything to do on Route 4 except for battling a few trainers and headbutting a few trees. Continue walking East until you reach Cerulean City.

 

Spoiler

13176da8b9a7f417cc8d8c19f9a5e43a.png.a7dd1cd4ad355b81aae930984067adbd.png

 

When you get to Cerulean City heal your Pokémon and walk North to Route 24.

 

Spoiler

Route 24 & 25

 

Once you defeat them all you can progress to Route 25 where you will meet a team Rocket Grunt.

Talk to him and you will receive a free Nugget (And a surprise battle :3)

 

Spoiler

af9bfa4269105f6f86cb67ba152a39ef.png.6454ecd816702f40bdce41897b57cf9d.png

 

After beating him, start to walk East. Defeat the trainers and arrive at Bill's house.

Once inside, talk to Bill and he will ask for your help.

He has lost his research book and if you can find it for him he will reward you.

 

Spoiler

6edb7af28882f9cded8a7ef6de48f7fa.png.04742b5aa7978597f480d4a3f87f2805.png

 

You might get tired after looking through all his bookshelves and resort to help chat or this guide.

His research book is under his pillow, take it and talk to Bill again to receive your reward; a ticket to the SS Anne.

Cerulean City

 

After you return to Cerulean City you should start to train your Pokémon to around level 25.

Use the trainers from the nearby routes and the tall grass on Route 24 to help level them.

 

Once you feel like your Pokémon are strong enough you can challenge the gym.

Misty uses Water Type Pokémon so grass or electric types will work well against her.

She uses a Poliwag, a Horsea and a Starmie. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 25 for this gym.

 

Spoiler

4bd57fdd03386fcc6b8f6d51326dbf43.png.9d7e6fd431ad46448ef0c3dcb4695a96.png

 

After defeating her you will be rewarded with the Cascade Badge which gives you the ability to use HM Cut outside of battle.

You can also purchase TM11 - Bubblebeam from the man at the front of the gym.

 

Something to remember in Cerulean City is the bike shop. After you buy the bike ticket from Vermilion you can trade it for a bike here.

 

Spoiler

Route 5 & 6

 

After defeating the Cerulean gym you should continue south to Route 5. On Route 5 you will find the daycare center however it's good to note that breeding is not in PRO. Instead, the daycare is used to teach your Pokémon egg moves after defeating the Naero boss. This is end game content and won't be covered in this guide, if you want to learn more about bosses then check out this guide: Boss Guide.

 

Spoiler

At the end of Route 5, you will find this underground passage. Use it to travel to Route 6 where you can continue the story.

 

Spoiler

1cec4bf89303c9eddca513779901ed85.png.7887ea26023e57929b6aadbfdd182823.png

 

Once you arrive at Route 6 you will be able to battle a few trainers. Make your way to the entrance to Vermilion and talk to Psychic Wade. He will teleport you to an alternate reality where Lance has destroyed Vermilion City. Confront Lance and you will be engaged into a battle with him. He will use his Dragonair which spams Hyper Beam; slowly eliminating each one of your Pokémon.

 

Spoiler

After he beats you, you will be teleported to the Vermilion Pokécenter. Rush back to Wade and talk to him, after you finish talking to him you can progress to Vermilion City and the SS Anne.


 

SS Anne

 

To start the SS Anne quest you will first need to talk to Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Docks.He will return to his gym and you will be able to enter the cruise ship. If you didn't get the SS Anne ticket from Bill then you will have to walk all the way back to Route 25 and complete his quest.

When you enter the SS Anne, talk to the usher and he will escort you to your room. Log in to the PC next to your bed and he will move from your doorway.

Whenever your Pokémon need healing you should come back to your room and interact with your bed.

 

Spoiler

6851768a4cbbddd0e4b335fe675ebc2b.png.4c5fc8db5dd99f5d2bceed12b60ef706.png

 

As you continue you can go into each room of the ship and battle trainers. To maximize your EXP I recommend that you battle all of the trainers on the ship.

Make your way to the first floor and enter the kitchen; located on the far left. Make sure you have a Pecha berry to give to the doctor, if you don't have one in your inventory then there will be one in a trash can.

 

Spoiler

b7b18cbce863049d83a532d704ec0e8a.png.ac390f62b8e16adbf1037c03adcac2a3.png

 

Talk to the doctor in the kitchen and offer to help him cure the captain. When you show him the Pecha berry he will tell you to go the second floor and meet Jenson.Go to the second floor and enter the room on the far right.

 

Spoiler

In here you can talk to Jenson who will ask you to find his Blissey in the ballroom as it holds the secret potion.

Make your way upstairs again. From there you have the option to beat Jackson again. You might as well as it's some free EXP and he probably deserves it.

 

Continue to the ballroom and head to the upper floor where you will find Jenson's Blissey. Talk to it and it will disappear and leave you with the secret potion.Now you can return to the second floor and find the captain. On the way there you can pick up some leftovers from this trash can,

 

Spoiler

Once you get to the captain's quarters you can give him the potion in return for HM Cut. You can now leave the SS Anne and fight the Vermilion gym.You cannot return to the SS Anne after leaving.

Vermilion City

 

Lt. Surge's gym puzzle is probably the most annoying one out of the Kanto gyms. Instead of having something cool like teleporters or... teleporters, he has a bunch of trash cans switches and two of those switches need to be activated in the correct order.

When guessing the switches you will mostly see this:

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

However, once you trigger the first switch you will see:

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_2.png

 

You now have to find the second switch in the sequence by going through all the switches again. However, if you click the wrong switch then you'll have to start again, so you better remember where that first switch was.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_3.png

 

Once you finally find both correct switches you will be able to progress and battle Lt. Surge.

Surge specializes in Electric Types so ground type Pokémon will be most effective against him.

He uses a Voltorb, Pikachu, Electrode and Raichu. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 35 for this gym.

Upon beating him you will be rewarded with the Thunder Badge and you'll be able to buy TM24 - Thunderbolt from the man at the entrance.

 

When exploring Vermilion you can go inside this house and receive a free Old Rod. You will need to collect this in order to gain access to the Good Rod and eventually the Super Rod.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_6.png

 

You can also enter the house next to the Pokécenter and help the boy.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_7.png

 

Upon paying him $60,000 & giving him an OT Ditto, Samuel will thank you by giving you the bike voucher. You can trade this voucher in at the Cerulean Bike store to receive your bike and gain access to the bike route.


 

Diglett's Cave


After you are done in Vermilion, head East to Route 11. Here you can talk to a karate expert outside of Diglett's Cave and he will move out the way.Enter the cave and follow it through to Route 2. Once there you should head South to the stophouse. Talk to Oak's aide and he will check your Pokédex. You need to have caught 10 different species of Pokémon. You can check your caught data by going to your Pokédex and looking at the number next to "Owned."

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_1.png

Screenshot_2.png

 

 

Now that you have HM Flash you can go back to Cerulean City and go East to Route 9.

 


 

Rock Tunnel


After travelling through Route 9 and beating the trainers there, you will have to enter Rock Tunnel. However, similar to Viridian Maze, Rock Tunnel is pitch black so you will have to teach one of your Pokémon HM Flash.To use Flash outside of battle you have to, first, click the Pokémon in your party and then click the move "Flash."

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_3.png

Screenshot_2.png

Screenshot_4.png

 

 

Now your vision should be a lot better.

 

Follow the cave through, it's mostly linear but if you are having issues finding the correct ladders then here they are in order.

 

Spoiler

Once you escape Rock Tunnel, head South to Lavender Town. Upon arrival you will hear two guards talking about crime in Celadon City. Since you cannot do anything in Lavender Town yet you must go West to Route 8.

 


 

Route 7 & 8

 

There are a lot of trainers on Route 8 which means there is a lot of EXP to be gained.

There is also a hidden abandoned Growlithe behind this tree.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

After beating the trainers on Route 8 go to the underground tunnel and continue East to Route 7.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_2.png

 

There is nothing interesting on Route 7 so continue to Celadon City.


 

Celadon City

 

When you arrive at Celadon City the first thing you might notice is Sergeant Rick. Team Rocket has set up base in the Gamecorner and Rick needs help infiltrating it.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png


To start the quest you need to offer your help.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_2.png

Screenshot_3.png

 


Enter the Gamecorner and talk to Greg. He will lead you downstairs.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_4.png

Screenshot_5.png

 

 

Once you are downstairs, talk to Greg again and he will leave. However, clumsily, he will forget his lift key. Pick it up and use the lift at the bottom of the hideout.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_6.png


Use the lift to go to B2F where you will meet Jackson. Fight him and defeat him in a battle.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_7.png

Screenshot_8.png

 

 

When you beat him he will get really upset and alert Team Rocket of your whereabouts. Walk around and you will be captured by Team Rocket.

Whilst in this room you can use the crates to hoist yourself over the wall and attempt an escape.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_9.png

 

If a Team Rocket member sees you then you will be transported back to where you started.

In B2F there is a large maze with some items scattered around it. Go through the maze, following the red arrows and exit the maze with the green arrow.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_14.png

 

Once you collect all the items go down the second flight of stairs to B3F and fight Greg.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_11.png

 

After you beat him go through the smaller maze and down the staircase. Once you're in B4F defeat the Supervisor to get the Card Key.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_13.png

 

Go back upstairs to B2F and through the large maze again. Take the lift to B4F and use the Card Key on the hidden door.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_15.png

 

Fight Giovanni and after you defeat him he will run from the building.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_10.png

 

You can now pick up the Silph Scope from Giovanni's table. You now need to look in each receptor for an Eevee.

There are 2 receptors in Giovanni's room, 1 on the other side of B4F and 2 more on B3F.

 

After you find the Eevee you can now leave the Gamecorner and talk to Sergeant Rick. He will reward you for your hard work with the Eevee that you just saved.

 

Now that you've beaten Giovanni you can talk to these Team Rocket members and they will run from the city.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_17.png

 

You now have access to the Celadon gym. Heal your Pokémon and go challenge it.

Erika specializes in Grass Type Pokémon so fire, poison, bug and ice type Pokémon will help you a lot.

She uses 3 Pokémon, a Victreebell, an Ivysaur and a Vileplume. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 45 for this gym.

After you beat her you are given the Rainbow Badge which gives you access to trading with other players. This opens the option to do evolutionary trades which can be useful later on.

You can also buy TM21 - Mega Drain from the man at the front of her gym.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_18.png

 

Exit the gym and you will be put into a battle with Red. Just like Lance's Dragonair he is highly over-levelled compared to you so defeat is almost inevitable.

Once the battle is over you can head back to Lavender Town.


 

Lavender Town


When you arrive at Lavender Town the first thing you should do is snoop around Mr. Fuji's house. There will be some notes on his desk; interact with them and continue to Lavender Tower.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_1.png

Screenshot_2.png

 

 

Enter Lavender Tower and work your way to the top floor. You won't need to worry about going back to heal your Pokémon as half way up there is a Nurse Joy.

When you get to the 6th floor you will have to use the Silph Scope to reveal the spirit of a Marowak which is blocking your path.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_4.png


You can't catch it so once you KO it move on to the 7th and final floor. There you will have to defeat a few Team Rocket Grunts and save Mr. Fuji. Once you save him he will reward you with the Poké Flute.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_5.png

Screenshot_6.png

 

 

Leave the tower and return to Mr. Fuji's house and engage in some dialogue with him. When he is finished talking you can go South of Lavender Town to Route 12.


 

Route 12, 13, 14 & 15

 

Follow Route 12 South until you find the sleeping Snorlax. Use the Poké Flute to wake it up and try you best to capture it.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

Once you either KO or capture it you can now use the stophouse to the left for a faster way to get to Vermilion City. In the upper floor of the Route 11 stophouse there is another Oak's aide who will give you Dig after you capture 30 different Pokémon.

 

Continue South on Route 12 until you reach a small patch of grass. There is a hidden rare candy here that respawns once every 14 days.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_4.png

 

Pick it up and continue the wooden path to Route 13. On Route 13 there is a large maze with a lot of trainers in it and at the end of it, Berry Tower.You can battle in Berry Tower and win.. you guessed it, berries.

 

Spoiler

If you don't need berries then continue the path South to Route 14. Once on Route 14 head Southwest to Route 15 then finally follow Route 15 West until you reach Fuschia City.


 

Fuschia City

 

Unlike some other cities, the first thing you should do in Fuschia is defeat the gym. Janine, the leader of the gym has many other lookalikes in her gym and you have to work your way through them and an invisible maze. Follow this route to battle each trainer and get to the gym leader.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

Janine uses Poison Type Pokémon so ground and psychic type Pokémon will easily take care of her.

She uses a Crobat, 2 Weezings, an Ariados and a Venomoth. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 55 for this gym.

After you beat her you will be rewarded with the Soul Badge. You can also buy TM6 - Toxic from the clerk at the front of her gym.

 

When you leave the gym walk south until you meet Victor on the beach. Battle him and he will tell you where to find HM Surf. You can also teach any Pikachu Surf if and only if you chose Pikachu as your starter.

 

Spoiler

Head to the North side of Fuschia and enter the Safari Building. Here you can pay $5,000 for 20 minutes of safari time.

When you are teleported to the Safari Entrance follow these directions to get to Safari Area 3:

East to Safari Area 1 -> North-East to Safari Entrance -> West to Safari Area 2 -> South to Safari Area 3

When you get there, enter this house and HM Surf will be waiting for you on the wooden table.

 

Spoiler

From here you can also enter the Safari Exclusive Area if you bought a membership to PRO. More info on Membership only areas can be found here.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_7.png

 

Now that you have HM Surf you can either use up the rest of your safari time looking for rare Pokémon or you can use an escape rope to be teleported to your last used Pokécenter.

Before you leave Fuschia City, make sure to visit the Fishing Guru's house where you can purchase the Good Rod for $15,000. You must have the Old Rod first in order to buy the Good Rod.

 

Spoiler

Journey to Saffron

 

From Fuschia City you can either head West to Route 18 and follow the Bike Route to Celadon City (Require the bike quest to be completed to enter this area) or head East and go back to Lavender Town

When trying to enter Saffron you will be told by the stophouse guards that they will only let you pass if you give them some Lemonade.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

To get the Lemonade you will have to return to Celadon City and go to the Celadon Mart. Go to the top floor of the Mart and purchase one Lemonade from the vending machine.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_2.png

 

Before you leave the Celadon Mart you can talk to this Thief and complete hist side quest to unlock TM46 -Thief. Here is a link to a guide on the quest.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_3.png

 

Take the Lemonade to one of the stophouse guards and give it to him. He will tell the other guards to let you in in the future.


 

Saffron City

 

The first thing you should do is visit the Saffron Dojo.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_4.png


In there you can fight some trainers for some easy EXP and once you defeat Koichi you can take either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_5.png

Screenshot_6.png

 

 

After you are done here you can progress to Silph Co.


When you arrive at Silph Co. your first impression might be that you have to spend 20 minutes spamming warp panels until you get it correct. However, this isn't the case as a matter of fact, you only need to use 2 warp panels to get to Giovanni. But I highly recommend taking your time and battling all the Team Rocket Grunts to gain as much EXP as you can. Once you feel that you are ready then go to the 3rd floor and take the first warp panel. Then take the next panel opposite the bed.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_7.png

Screenshot_8.png

 

 

Once you use those warp panels you will have to battle Blue to prove that you're ready to fight Giovanni.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_9.png

 

After beating Blue you can fight Giovanni. Make sure to be over-levelled or bring some potions as he seems to cause some issues for many players.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_10.png

 

After you beat Giovanni he will flee from the building and you can talk to the Silph Co. Director. As a reward, he will give you a Master Ball some Rare Candies.

You're now finished with Silph Co. Make your way to the Pokécenter and heal your Pokémon for the 6th gym.

 

To most the Saffron Gym puzzle can be both confusing and frustrating, it's almost as bad as Vermilion's puzzle. However, similar to the Silph Co. warp pads I've put together an image that shows you the fastest way to Sabrina.

Simply follow these directions: Up -> Down -> Down -> Left.

 

Spoiler

image.png

 

Sabrina is the Psychic Type gym leader. Bug, ghost and dark type Pokémon are recommended to ensure a victory.

Sabrina uses a Hypno, Mr. Mime, Espeon and an Alakazam. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 65 for this gym.

After beating it you will be rewarded with the Marsh Badge and you'll be able to purchase TM29 - Psychic from the man at the front of the gym.


 

Journey to Cinnabar

 

There are two ways that you can travel to Cinnabar Island from. You can surf either South from Pallet Town or Southwest from Fuschia. If you surf from Pallet Town then you'll encounter a few trainers and eventually arrive at the North side of Cinnabar. If you surf from Fuschia, however, you will have to go through the Seafoam Islands. You can also surf Southeast from Fuschia to start the free Arcanine mount quest.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png


If you chose the Seafoam Route then you'll eventually surf to these islands. Enter through the cave entrance and walk East in the cave. There is no need to use any ladders unless you're looking to level your Pokémon. Just carry on East until you reach the exit.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_2.png

Screenshot_3.png

 

 

 

After you exit the islands, continue to surf West until you reach Cinnabar Island.


 

Cinnabar Island


Once you arrive at Cinnabar Island, if you talk to the guard outside the gym he will tell you that you need to bring him a key which is hidden in the Cinnabar Mansion.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_4.png

Screenshot_5.png

 

 

Enter the Mansion and go to the second floor. From there you should take the staircase at the North side of the second floor. When you reach the 3rd floor you are given the option to enter one of five doors. Each one will lead you to a different location in the mansion; some lead you outside of the mansion.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_7.png


When you find the correct door you should end up in B1F. Head to the west side of the room and interact with the bookshelves. You will pass through the wall and be able to take the Mansion Key.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_8.png

Screenshot_9.png

 

 

When you retrieve the key from Cinnabar Mansion you can talk to the guard outside of the gym and he will leave, allowing you to pass.

Work your way through the gym and it's trainers until you reach the last trainer on the first floor. There will be a small scene between Lt. Surge and Blaine involving Mew. When Mew leaves you can go downstairs and find Blaine.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_11.png

 

Blaine is the Fire Type gym leader. Water, ground and rock type Pokémon will help you defeat him.

He is the first gym leader to use 5 Pokémon. Those being Arcanine, Rapidash, Charizard, Ninetales and Magmar. I recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 75 for this gym.

Defeating Blaine will give you the Volcano badge, you can also buy TM35 - Flamethrower from the man at the front of his gym. You also gain access to the fossil recovery room at the Cinnabar Research Lab.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_10.png


Finally, now that you've defeated the 7th gym you are allowed to enter the fossil recovery room at the Cinnabar Research Lab. From here you can revive any fossils that you pick up on your journey.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_13.png

Screenshot_14.png

 

 

In the lab, you can also talk to Davis and receive a free Porygon after you have 100 caught data on your Pokédex.


 

Viridian City Gym


When you're done at Cinnabar Island you can head North to go back to Pallet Town. From there continue to head North to Viridian City.If you were taking your time with the story that Rare Candy might've respawned. Anyways, go to the gym and enter it. Inside you will meet Blue and he'll tell you about how strong Giovanni really is. If you feel like you're prepared then continue.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_1.png

Screenshot_2.png

Screenshot_3.png

 

 

Despite Giovanni having 6 Pokémon with him, he will only use one. His Armoured Mewtwo; a Steel/ Psychic type. Dark, ground, ghost and fire type Pokémon will be extremely useful in this battle. I highly recommend you level your Pokémon to around level 85 before challenging this gym.

By beating Giovanni you are rewarded with the Earth Badge and access to the Kanto Elite 4. You can also buy TM26 - Earthquake at the gym.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_4.png

 

Giovanni will now disband Team Rocket and never be seen again.


 

Victory Road


To get to Victory Road you will have to head West of Viridian City, through Route 22. Talk to the guards outside of the reception and they will let you pass. Once you're inside, head North and meet Red. He will battle you and probably completely destroy you again.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_5.png

Screenshot_6.png

 

 

After the battle is over he will move and you'll be free to go through Victory Road. Go through and beat all the trainers as you really need the EXP for the Elite 4. As you make your way through and come to the exit you will encounter Moltres. (You might not see it due to the mass amounts of players in the area, but it's right in front of the exit.) Interact with it to initiate a battle. Something to note is that you can not catch Moltres. Currently, the only legendary Pokémon that you can catch are Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, one of the Legendary Dogs (Suicune, Raikou, Entei), Heatran, one of the Legendary Lake Trio (Azelf, Uxie, Mespirit), one of the Eons (Latios, Latias), Phione and Genesect.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_9.png

 

After you KO it you can move through the exit and into the Indigo Plateau. Here you will see two building and Youngster Joey. As you're doing the Kanto Elite 4 you will need to go to the East building. As you walk there you will be congratulated by all the Kanto gym leaders as well as your mother.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_10.png

 

Now that you've beaten Victory Road it is time for you to train your Pokémon so they are ready for the Elite 4. Use the exit of Victory Road as a hotspot for EXP. Alternatively, you can travel back to Seafoam Islands and use the lower floors to level up your Pokémon. Once your Pokémon each reach around level 90 you will be ready for the Elite 4. Stock up on potions and revives and enter via the door at the back of the center.


 

Kanto Elite 4

 

Lorelie is the first member of the Kanto Elite 4. She specializes in Ice and Water type Pokémon.

Her party consists of a Dewgong, Slowbro, Lapras, Jinx and Cloyster.

Electric type Pokémon can wipe this team with ease.

After defeating her you will be allowed to progress to the next member of the E4. Continue to the room behind her where you will meet your next challenge.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

Bruno, the second member of the Elite 4 is a Rock and Fighting type expert.

He uses an Onix, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Machamp and another Onix. Using Psychic type Pokémon will aid you in this fight, however, Bruno is probably the easiest member of the Elite 4.

By beating him you will be allowed to progress to the next member of the Elite 4, Agatha.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_2.png

 

Agatha is the third member of the Elite 4. She is a Poison and Ghost type trainer.

She uses a Gengar, Crobat, Haunter, Arbok and a Mega Gengar. Similar to Bruno, using Psychic type Pokémon will help you greatly in this fight. Sucker Punch is also an easy way to take out her strong ghost Pokémon.

After you beat her you can pass to Lance, the final member of the Elite 4.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_3.png

 

Lance is the final member of the Elite 4 and specializes in Dragon Type Pokémon.

He uses his Gyarados, Dragonair, Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Tyranitar and Charizard. Four of which aren't dragon type Pokémon.

Water and Electric type Pokémon can wipe this team off the face of the earth.

Upon beating him he will allow you to pass to the Kanto Champion, where you will fight to become the champion of the region. Heal your Pokémon with the potions and revives that you bought and progress to the next room.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_4.png

 

So I've been calling him Blue this entire time. But his name is actually Gary? Anyways..

Gary is the champion of Kanto, he is a bit of a rebel and doesn't use a monotype team.

Instead, he uses a Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Arcanine, Mega Blastoise and an Exeggutor. You shouldn't have too much trouble beating him.After he is defeated, he will congratulate you on your victory. Walk behind him and talk to Professor Oak who will bring you back to Pallet Town.

 

Spoiler

Finishing Kanto and starting Johto

 

Now that you're the Kanto Champion you can access Johto. Go back to Oak's lab and talk to him, he will tell you of Johto and how to get there.

 

Spoiler

Screenshot_1.png

 

Now go back to the Indigo Plateau Reception where you fought Red. Walk South and talk to the guards in front of the exit. They will allow you to pass. You can now travel through Route 26 to go to Johto. Continue walking South and you will eventually reach Route 27, from there you should walk West until your reach Tohjo Falls.If you surf North a little you will find an abandoned Crobat.

 

Spoiler

 

Screenshot_3.png

Screenshot_4.png

 

 

Exit Tohjo Falls and carry on walking West. Start surfing and you will finally reach Johto.

BEWARE: Once you enter Johto there is no turning back until you beat the 8th gym. All your Kanto Pokémon will be locked in you PC and you won't be able to use them unlit you beat the 8th gym. If you wanted to do anything in Kanto before you go to Johto you should do it now!

 

If you are ready for Johto then click "Yes" and walk forwards.

This concludes my Kanto Walkthrough. Thanks for reading 🙂
