ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hello hello, how are you? My name is Allen and this is my walkthrough of Pokemon
(Old) White Beta 1.2, specifically the most recent fix update that was made by
Hacksrepairman. I wasn't aware of it until a few months later when I visited his
site to see if he had put anything out, because it had been a while since I last
worked on a walkthrough that covered one of his releases. This one is mainly a bug
fixes update but with a few extras thrown in so as far as the walkthrough goes it
will be a polish up of the 2019 guide which I did. If you are new to (Old) White,
welcome, but if you've played it before then welcome back :) let's dive right in,
shall we?
It is in the opening credits that Foullump says that the reason the original
version didn't carry on beyond Beta 1.2 is because he didn't like it and he started
another one, which he doesn't name. After those credits we meet Prof. Oak for the
standard professor intro. We also get to name our friendly Rival, I'll be calling
him Gary to keep things simple but feel free to name him anything.
You'll wake up in your dormroom, which is in a place called West Academy according
to the Town Map. Boot up the computer to find a Potion in Storage. Exit the
dormroom and head for the stairs at the end of the hallway, all the other rooms are
locked. Good news though: it's Graduation Day! On the bottom floor you'll meet your
roommate Gary, he's annoyed with you because apparently you locked him out last
night haha. Won't happen again, promise. He says you should follow him to find
Professor Pine so you can take the graduation test. Leave the building.

- Colosseum
- West Academy Library

Head to the left and meet Prof. Spruce, she tells you that Gary went to the
northwest part of the campus, that's where Prof. Pine is. Spruce also says that she
will test you at the Field Building when the time comes. After she leaves you'll
talk to Jack, since he got all the answers to one of the tests he helps you out by
showing you the Pokemon Center. There's nobody inside except for the "Profile"
woman. Let's look around before going northwest:
South from the PokeCenter is the beach, you'll find a Rare Candy on the west side.
Go all the way east then north, after climbing the first set of steps turn right
and go into the area between the trees to pick up a Potion. A little further to the
right is the Mart. Above the second set of steps check behind the trees on the
right for a Revive. On the left from there is a pair of locked buildings and Prof.
Oak's Quarters, he's there but is too busy for you to talk to yet. North of the
Quarters is the Field Building, if you go through it you'll reach a grassy area
where a pair of Beauties will tell you that the person in charge here, Clare/Prof.
Spruce, doesn't want anyone there. Head for the Mart, this is what's available:
Potion P300
Full Heal P600
Repel P350
Escape Rope P550
Revive P1500
At the top of the hill right next to the Mart is the Colosseum but no entry yet.
South from the Mart is the West Academy Library but no entry until you have Prof.
Pine's signature. North from the Mart is the Gym, here you'll find the Gym
Instructor Prof. Ceader and he won't see you until you've been to Prof. Spruce's.
Further east is blocked off to students so now let's head over to Prof. Pine's
place.
When you reach the lab Gary is stepping out of it and going to the Library. Inside
the lab chat with Prof. Pine and choose your Starter from a selection of the Kanto,
Johto and Hoenn Pokemon:
Just so you know, in this game Tackle is 35/95 and not 40 or even 50/100 BUT Tail
Whip is 40/100 AND hits both opponent targets in Double Battles :) After you've
chosen, Prof. Pine will sign your exam card and says that the next person you
should see is Prof. Fur at the Library. Exit the lab and get ready because there
are other Graduates roaming around the campus now and they are eager to test out
their Starters. First one you'll find is Bill near the Pokemon Center.
Graduate Bill
- Lv5 Charmander [Fire]
Prize: P20
Graduate Shane
- Lv5 Squirtle [Water]
Prize: P20
Graduate Casey
- Lv5 Torchic [Fire]
Prize: P20
Max is along the way to the Mart, he's not yet graduating.
Beginner Max
- Lv5 Treecko [Grass]
Prize: P400
The man outside the Library sees that you've got Pine's signature and lets you
through.
-1F-
-2F-
The guy in green on the east side of the room is the Seismic Toss Tutor, he only
teaches the move once though. Head for the stairs in the northeast corner.
-3F-
Go all the way to the east side of the room and inspect the bookshelf that is
second from right, you'll shelve some books that are sticking out and reveal a door
that leads to Prof. Fur's room. He'll give you a lecture about Pokemon types and
battles. If you say No to his questions he'll just explain what Types and battles
are. After that he gives you the Teachy TV and signs your exam card. Exit the
Library and go back to the Field Building's grassy area.
**NOTE: I don't have any Pokemon (Old) White documents e.g. Pokemon Location guide,
Items & TM Location guide etc because I didn't find any that are offered together
with the game, so my Pokemon Found lists are only going to show Pokemon that I am
lucky enough to encounter. For any Pokemon which I've left out please contact me so
that I include them. Either leave a comment on my blog site
(mrtkallen.blogspot.com), email me (allenchngnzh22@gmail.com) or message me on the
Pokemon Community forums site (Allen Ceedos) or on Reddit (Allen_Cee07).
Follow the path all the way to the top left side where you'll see Prof. Spruce.
She'll teach you about wild Pokemon and then gives you 5 Poke Balls. We haven't
received the PokeDex yet so don't go catching anything. When you're done battling
the Pokemon here follow after Spruce to the northeast side where she'll teach you
about Berry Trees. Pick Berries from all the trees then speak to Spruce and get the
exam card signed. Leave this area and prepare to tackle the Gym. You can buy Poke
Balls from the Mart now too.
He sees your signed card and will then explain what Gyms are. After that he tells
you to solve the Gym puzzle and he'll meet you when you're done. Step on the
spinner tile pointing up and get sent right next to Collin.
Graduate Collin
- Lv5 Bulbasaur [Grass/Poison]
Prize: P20
Step on the spinner tile that is pointing to the right directly next to you, this
will take you to the free tile southwest from Collin. Move down and step on the
spinner tile pointing to the right and reach Ceader for the first Gym Battle (?) of
the game.

**BATTLE NOTES:
DITTO: Transform
No fancy Badge given out but you do get Ceader's signature and he tells you that
the graduation ceremony is about to begin. Exit the Gym and heal up if you need to
because you're going to be stopped by Gary after passing the Mart. It's almost time
for the graduation ceremony but now that you've both defeated Prof. Ceader he wants
to battle you. Doesn't matter if you say No, he wants to fight! The first Rival
Battle, here we go.

**BATTLE NOTES:
[rt70a] ROUTE 70
----------------
-SECTION A-
-SECTION B-
The path heads east, you'll find a Max Revive before reaching a Gate occupied by a
guard who heals your Pokemon. Beyond that is a cave entrance which leads to Ragged
Path.
-PART 1-
Head to right then up to go through an opening on the left, in the next area go all
the way to the northeast corner to pick up a Nugget then return to the first are
via the other entrance and continue to the exit.
-ROUTE 70 SECTION C-
Youngster Billy
- Lv9 Sandshrew [Ground]
Prize: P324
Man, where are the people? Usually by now you would've found some out and about
besides Billy. Continue on into the next area of Ragged Path.
-PART 2-
You'll find the exit on the eastern side, another short path.
-ROUTE 70 SECTION D-
The path leads to an area of ledges, you go south and find Edna.
Beginner Edna
- Lv11 Nidoran(M) [Poison]
Prize: P880
Weave along them ledges to reach Jonson and then that TM03 Aqua Jet on the right.
Officer Jonson
- Lv10 Growlithe [Fire]
Prize: P200
TMs are not reusable in this game :/ on top of the absence of Fairy-type and
Physical/Special. Anyway, head south onto the path between mountains and you're
suddenly stopped by a new character named Eddy. He doesn't believe that you're a
Trainer because your clothes aren't dirty enough xD, time to prove him wrong. Rival
#2 maybe?
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
**BATTLE NOTES:
Yup, Rival #2 and he's the classic obnoxious type too, lovely. He can't believe he
lost, so you can bet there will be a next time. Afterwards continue south to cover
the last bit of this route and reach the next one.
[rt71] ROUTE 71
---------------
-SECTION A-
First person we find here is Dave in the grassy path between trees on the right.
Backpacker Dave
- Lv12 Teddiursa [Normal]
Prize: P432
He's got a full bag so he is cool enough to give you TM01 AncientPower. The way
forward is to continue along that path going northeast from Dave, but let's cover
the southeast way first. Head south from Dave and east onto a mountain road where
you'll meet Gusto.
Bug Catcher Gusto
- Lv13 Yanma [Bug/Flying]
Prize: P624
Continue eastward to cross a bridge and then turn south to find a signpost warning
that the next bridge is out. From the signpost go back up then follow the path
going right, it will lead you all the way round to another bridge that you can
cross. Thomas is on the other side.
Head south to jump a ledge and go to the cave entrance on the right. It's dark in
this cave but there are no wild Pokemon. Move to the right, head up some stairs and
follow the passage as it goes west then
round to the northeast exit. You'll step out on the opposite side of the broken
bridge, Jamie is here.
Beginner Jamie
- Lv14 Smoochum [Ice/Psychic]
Prize: P1120
Continue east, you'll see a curious looking hole in the cliff wall (what would
normally be the spot for a potential Secret Base) but just make a note of it for
now and proceed to a dirt road below. It leads to a junction on the right, the Lass
standing there can't get to Sol City further north because of an earthquake-created
ledge. If you look above the ledge you'll see what she's talking about - the
alternative path she used is blocked by a familiar "tree". Darn it :S we'll
probably have to deal with that too at some point. Go back to the Secret Base spot,
this time there's an entrance which leads into a small cave that has one Zinc. Back
to the junction, continue east to the next part of this route and the next battle
against Borris.
-SECTION B-
Potion P300
Poke Ball P200
Antidote P100
Revive P1500
Escape Rope P550
Repel P350
Oran Berry P20
Backpacker Greg
- Lv14 Wynaut [Psychic]
Prize: P504
He gives you one Rare Candy afterwards. There's a path going southwest but don't
mind it for now because it's the path which has the "tree" roadblock, so carry on
north to find Kelsey and then Sean.
Hottie Kelsey
- Lv15 Togepi [Normal]
Prize: P600
Just before touching down on the beach, check behind the upper right side trees to
find a Super Potion. Go east along the beach, the rain should end to signal the
final part of this route.
-SECTION C-
Look at that, a couple of Starters out in the wild :) nice. At the end of this path
is the entrance to the Seaside Woods, but also present are a pair of Team Aqua
Grunts! Our journey has only just started and already we've found some trouble.
Sneak up on either of them to catch their conversation: these two are stuck out
here while their fellow Grunts have gone into the woods in search of Celebi! Things
didn't exactly go well for the sea-loving organisation last time when they were in
the business of pursuing Legendary Pokemon but here they are at it again. The
Grunts see you and it's battle time. One on one, back to back fights.
Go all the way north to find another Grunt, I wonder how many more are here?
Past him is a split in the path, face or ignore that next Grunt on the right and
continue along the left side. The right side leads to the deadend from earlier.
Circle round to the northeast where we see a lone Grunt facing forward, sneak up on
him and find out that this Celebi mission has become a failure and Boss of Bosses
Giovanni will have to be told. Damn, Gio is working with Team Aqua now? The Grunt
sees you - he identifies himself as the second commander of Team Aqua! First Double
Battle of the game, here we go.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
>>AQUA ADMIN BATTLE<<
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
**BATTLE NOTES:
With nothing else he can do now, the mysterious Admin leaves. Who was guy anyway?
And what happened to Archie?? I thought maybe he's the Axis person that other
Grunts mentioned. Continue east to the exit at the end of the path.
[rt72] ROUTE 72
---------------
-SECTION A-
Another peaceful route, still going all the way east until you pass a pair of fence
poles and you'll be in the next section.
-SECTION B-
Carry on until you see a dirt road going south, follow it all the way southeast and
hike up a hill path. It leads to a bridge heading west to the final section and
then at long last - Seaside Village. Civilisation!
(Section C)
Places of Interest
..................
- Pokemon Center
- Pokemon Mart
- Seaside Cavern
If you continue north along the dirt road you'll reach a trio of boulders that are
blocking access to the village's northeast side for now. The Beauty walking about
near them will give you a Rare Candy. On the northwest beach there's an unhappy
Cooltrainer who is thinking about someone named Dani. Make a note of this guy for
later. Nothing else is going on here so when you're ready go south to the Seaside
Cavern.
-1F-
Go straight up, you'll see an opening in the rock wall. It leads to a small area
outside where you pick up a Potion. Back inside, follow the path as it goes west.
Along the way you'll find an Ice Heal. Ignore the next opening on the right after
passing the pool of water, it leads to a deadend the basement. Head northeast for a
ladder leading below.
-B1F-
Follow the path as it goes west onto a rocky platform, then once you get off of it
head straight down to find a Revive. Then go all the way round to the southeast
area where you'll find a Water Stone and a ladder back to 1F. Once you're back
there just go all the way south to the exit.
[rt73] ROUTE 73
---------------
-SECTION A-
**NOTE: For reasons unknown, fishing and Surfing can't be done here.
Cooltrainer Jessica
- Lv17 Snubbull [Normal]
- Lv16 Kadabra [Psychic]
Prize: P576
Continue all the way up to find a PokeCenter then carry on southwest to a bridge
and Carlos.
Cooltrainer Carlos
- Lv16 Bellsprout [Grass/Poison]
- Lv17 Magby [Fire]
- Lv17 Marill [Water]
Prize: P612
The next person you'll find further up is Artie (the strongest Psychic...in the
world!). If you got that old reference, congratulations :)
Psychic Artie
- Lv20 Kirlia [Psychic]
Prize: P400
You'll reach a signpost indicating that the next destination is Seashore Village.
Below the signpost is Double Battler Simon.
Officer Simon
- Lv19 Growlithe [Fire]
- Lv20 Noctowl [Normal/Flying]
Prize: P800
You'll end up back in Seaside Village, coming in from the northeast side! Those
boulders are only blocking access to a shortcut haha, well played :) Carry on north
for the next part of Route 73.
-SECTION B-
Catch an extra Bellsprout if you want an Onix early, we'll meet someone later who
wants to trade. Going all the way north until you reach a ledge, then turn south,
southeast to cross a bridge and north to enter the next section.
-SECTION C-
A brief section, follow the path until you cross a bridge heading west and reach
Section D.
-SECTION D-
**NOTE: Make sure to SAVE and prepare your team because we've got two major back to
back battles coming up.
At the end of Section D you'll find a big ledge that prevents you from getting to
Sol City and Steel City. Gary is here too, noting the ledge as well. He figures out
how you can reach Sol City: you must go back to Route 71 then north. Great. But
while he's here Gary wants to show off the results of his training, so...

**BATTLE NOTES:
This time he name-drops a friend of his, some fellow named Zach who sounds like
quite the big deal. Interesting to note that Zach is so skilled as a Trainer that
he entered an organisation called the Elite Trainers' Guild. Eddy will only
recognise you after you defeat Zach, so until that happens you're a loser in his
eyes. Lovely xD. Let's return to Route 71, where the PokeCenter is located. Them
boulders in Seaside Village aren't there now, nice.
Go west from the Route 71 PokeCenter, cross a bridge and get to the policeman and
Sudowoodo. Approach Sudowoodo and either catch or defeat it.
Indeed, Sudo's a Grass-type too in this universe :) makes some sense since it likes
to pretend that it's a tree. The path to Sol City is finally open, carry on north
to finish off this route and enter Route 74.
[rt74] ROUTE 74

Lass Candy
- Lv19 Marill [Water]
Prize: P684
The girl forgot her own damn name xD what's going on here? SAVE and get ready
because just up ahead you will be stopped by another new face who's looking to
fight. Who is this??

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
**BATTLE NOTES:
The rise in Trainer team levels is real in this game, no Badge yet but here is an
opponent with a team that is just under Level 30! Insane. This guy turns out to be
Eddy's friend Zach! Well, well. He had been on an undefeated streak until you
happened :) unlike Eddy he seems to be on the cooler side, so we can add him to the
Rival Rolodex as #3. So will Senpai Eddy finally notice you now that you've
defeated Zach? Good question. Continue all the way north then northeast to a path
between mountains then south to cross a pair of bridges. North from there is
Brianne.
You'll continue going north until you circle round the hill and end up southwest to
face Buckly in a Double Battle.
He'll ask if you're a bird hater, say No to receive TM33 Roost. Cross over to the
other hill, go north then descend the hill. Straight south until you're in a
section of Route 71 then going north again back on Route 74 for another mountain
trail. You'll cross a bridge going east and reach a pool, make a note to NOT fish
in there when you've got the Fishing Rods later. The game freezes when you try to
fish. Same story for the bigger pool that comes next after you circle round. Cross
the next bridge going west then south to see little Timmy.
Youngster Tim
- Lv20 Machop [Fighting]
- Lv19 Slowpoke [Water/Psychic]
Prize: P304
From the south you'll circle round to the northeast back onto the hill then
northwest to cross a couple of bridges until reaching a signpost with some good
news....

If you need to visit the PokeCenter go straight west from the town entrance. Also
found on this side, just above the PokeCenter, is the home of Kyle who wants to
trade his Onix Rocky for a Bellsprout. Rocky is holding a Persim Berry, has the
Rock Head Ability and knows Tackle, Screech, Bind and Rock Throw. When you try to
go north you'll be stopped by a girl who tells you that her father has been taken
by Team Rocket! They haven't given up their search for Celebi and for some reason
this girl's father has become involved. To find Team Rocket we must head over to
their warehouse in the northeast corner of town, but let's look around the
northwest area first.
The first house we reach is where you can get your Pokemon healed. In the west
house next to the Mart there's a note from Monica written to her siblings, if
you've played the Gen 2 games you may still remember these Item-giving characters:
No problem in the Gen 2 games but in this game there's no Real Time Clock function.
We'll check around Johto for them when we're there, maybe they are in this game
regardless. Further west from town is Lake Sol, we'll explore that after we're done
with Team Rocket.
The pair of Grunts blocking the path going east aren't letting people through until
their boss says so. Let's go and find their boss then.

SAVE and get ready, because just up ahead you'll see Axis meeting with the big G.
It's not going well for Axis because he has to explain to Giovanni why the Seaside
Woods operation failed. When Giovanni sees that you are now present, Axis takes
this chance to redeem himself. Another Double Battle against another Aqua Admin,
watch out.

We'll come back with Surf to explore the western side of the lake, the eastern side
has fast currents. Hike up the mountain and follow the path to a cave entrance back
in Sol City. There are a couple of ladders to be climbed until you get to an area
that has a shiny looking grey slab with an inscription:
[rt75] ROUTE 75

-SECTION A-
You'll find a south way, go along it until you get to a entrance into the mountain.
[rtms] MT. SOL

-1F-
-2F-
Go south, as you do that you'll see a corridor on the right which leads to a ladder
- ignore that because it leads to a deadend. Get to the second ladder which is at
the end of the southwest passage.
-3F-
Drop down the next ladder back to 2F, then all the way east to another ladder
taking us back to 3F. This time go south and circle round to the southeast to a
ladder going to 2F. Follow the path south then southeast to exit.
-ROUTE 75 SECTION B-
Just to the north is a signpost pointing out that Denta Port is further up while
Steel City and Seaside Village are to the east. Also to the east is the portion of
Route 73 which is above the ledge where we found Gary.
-ROUTE 73 SECTION E-
Nothing much here, just don't accidentally take a leap of faith off the ledge :) we
go north.

- Lighthouse
- Mr Psychic's House (xD, his twin brother?)
- Eva's House
- Poke Park
- Docks
- Birmin Studios
- Magnet Train Station
- Bike Shop
The second city we've stepped into and Team Rocket's presence has the police on
high alert. They've blocked entry into a couple of buildings and access to the
western portion of the city. Let's explore this eastern half:
As soon as you arrive, you should see a guy in green near the city signboard - say
Yes to him and receive the ItemFinder. Go north and speak to the roaming Youngster
near the PokeCenter and Mart, say you'll help him and he gives you a Key that we
must deliver to his roommate who has probably locked himself out. Their house is by
the Lighthouse. In the Mart be sure to get 1 of those curious-looking (but pricey)
Claim Tickets, you'll use it to get one of two early game Pokemon soon. Continue
north to the building just above 3 trees, that's where Mr Psychic lives if you want
a TM29. Next door from there is Eva's house, she'll give you a Level 20 Eevee that
is holding a Soothe Bell, has Run Away and knows Helping Hand, Sand-Attack, Growl,
Quick Attack. In this game Eevee evolves into Espeon by Sun Stone or into Umbreon
by Moon Stone, nice and convenient. No Leafeon, no Glaceon and obviously no Sylveon
:/
SAVE and be ready before proceeding to the northern side of town because up there
you'll find Gary. He had read up about Steel City back in the school days but it's
bigger than he expected. After comparing PokeDexes he tells you that he'll be
travelling across water in search of Lugia (!) wow, that early game ambition level
though xD. The journey has only just begun and this guy's already chasing after a
Legendary! Tremendous. Before he leaves Gary asks for a battle. If you say No he'll
accept that and aim for next time, but if you think you're ready for him now
then...
================
>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================
**BATTLE NOTES:
- In a previous version I thought his Eevee evolved depending on the type of your
chosen Starter (like what happened with Blue/Gary in Yellow), but that seems to not
be the case because I've got a different Starter now and he still ends up with a
Vaporeon.
Gary says he'll call you if anything comes up. I wonder how long it will be until
we see him again, seems like he'll be away for a while. Continue west until you see
the top side of a stream flowing south, you'll find a man in green standing on the
southwest side - if you have 50 or more Pokemon he'll give you a Master Ball! Just
like that, the Master Ball being introduced this early in the game, what's up with
that? Might be something to worry about, xD. If you go north of the stream you'll
reach a Gate which leads to Poke Park, but the guards tell you to come back later
because the park is currently closed. The stairs in the Gate take you to an
underground passage that connects the Gate to another one. There are some hidden
items scattered in that passage so be sure to make use of the Itemfinder if you are
interested in getting these:
Burn Heal
Ice Heal
Potion
Awakening
Parlyz Heal
Antidote
Once you're in the next Gate go through the north exit to arrive in the north side
of town. Head up to find a woman in pink, she'll ask if you are a Trainer and if
you say Yes she will battle you.
You can battle her more than once for some extra EXP. Nothing else here because the
cops are in the way so return to the stream and continue southwest. You'll find a
Sailor along the way who tells you about a certain Legendary that he once saw -
Kyogre! Lucky him :) by the way, speaking to the Sailor will add Kyogre to your
PokeDex as Seen. Lugia was added thanks to Gary. South from the Sailor is a guy in
green who has a short story about a girl he really likes, the interesting thing to
note is the highlighted Garden where he usually sees her. In the building just on
the left from him we find some Rocket Grunts, not the kind we can battle but the
kind with Pokemon to sell. Those Claim Tickets will get you either a Larvitar or a
Houndour this early in the game. Decisions, decisions.
We can't go further north yet so head down to the docks & catch a bad situation in
progress: a trio of Aqua Grunts hijack a ship and high tail it! Without that ship
no travel to other regions is possible, damn. Follow after the Captain, the next
ship that you'll see is the S.S. Tide but you don't have a Ticket for it yet so
just leave it for now. The Captain is with a man named Mr. Jim who will help you
chase after the Grunts with his own boat. He'll wait for you there, which gives us
a chance to check this part of town first.
The next person we find is another guy in green, he'll trade you his Leftovers for
a Moon Stone so remember him when you get one. The Gym is located here too but
unfortunately it's closed. What the...? So now there's only ONE Gym remaining in
this entire region?? Wow :S that's rather depressing. Next to the Gym is the Garden
we heard about, the girl is here too and after you tell her about the admirer at
first she isn't sure but then concludes by revealing that she has a boyfriend. Oh
snap :/ return to the guy, you have 2 options: you'll either have to be honest by
saying No or lie to him by saying Yes. If you say Yes he'll be super happy, gives
you a Rare Candy, and then disappears. Say No and he'll still disappear but
disappointed now. When you're ready go back to meet with Mr. Jim and let's chase
after those fools in blue.
No Fishing possible here but when you get to the top of the island you'll see a
cave entrance below on the western side. Hopefully we can come back here later to
check that out when you can Surf. Enter the Rocket Warehouse and descend to the
basement...
-B1F-
....and behold - spinner tiles! No warehouse worth its salt comes without them :S
but no worries, I will record a short video clip showing the solution to this
puzzle and include that video in a zipped file containing this walkthrough so
please watch that video. If you don't have the video, here is the solution in text
form:
Just below, you should be seeing 2 rows of eastward facing tiles, go for the bottom
row and spin over to a right side lone tile. Go up and reach the northeast lone
tile. One step to the right then step on the southward tile directly below you,
that should take you to a lone tile which is on the left side of an orange
container. Below you are 2 eastward tiles, step on the bottom one, that should send
you to a lone tile in the southeast. Of the 2 southward tiles directly below you,
step on the left one and finally reach those next stairs, phew....
-B2F-
.....wait, another spinner tile area?! There'll be video solution for this too, the
aim is to reach the staircase on the south side. They lead to a small corridor
where you'll find an exit. Here's the solution in text form:
From the staircase you'll see 2 short rows of eastward tiles, go for the bottom row
and end up on a lone tile that's between 2 southward tiles. Step on the right side
one and once on the next lone tile step on the southward tiles on your left,
they'll take you to a lone tile that's to the right of an orange container. Take
one step to the left and get on the southward tile directly below you, that'll send
you to the staircase we're aiming for. The other room is currently empty but maybe
we'll come back much later on for it.
No wild Pokemon in the grass here. Go south, you'll see the path head to the left -
it leads to an empty dock. Continue south until you circle round to the northeast
building.
-2F-
Spinner Tiles 3: Revolutions - a fitting movie title right there. Before we tackle
this new puzzle go up to the room on 3F and read the papers on the clipboard -
there's a notice about a ship which will depart for the Whirl Islands. Hmm, perhaps
it has already sailed because there's nobody left on this island from the looks of
things. Now let's go back and get over them tiles:
Go stand on the lone tile below and step on the westward tile that's on your left,
that sends you to the much lower lone tile. On your right are 3 columns of
northward tiles, step on the middle one and end up in the top right corner of the
room. Go for the westward tiles that lead to the next lone tile and then just walk
on down to the stairs.
-1F - AREA 2-
Go through the open doorway on the right, march through the next room and back
outside. Go on up to see Giovanni warning Axis before they board a ship, we get on
it just in time. Where to?
>>-=-=-=-=-JOHTO REGION-=-=-=-=-<<
How nice, we're in (a tiny part of) Johto! Well, we'll just make the most of this
brief visit. Go left to find another entrance into the cave and inside climb the
ladder.
-1F-
-2F-
No Fishing, no Surfing in this area, go left to climb up the stairs into the next
area. No wild encounters here, go right to pick up an Escape Rope and ascend the
ladder.
-3F-
No wild Pokemon. Head straight up to find Calcium and then go all the way to the
northwest corner. We'll be back with Rock Smash so we can check out the northeast
side.
-2F- (AREA 2)
Go south and jump down the ledge, doesn't matter which side you choose because
there's a ladder waiting at the end leading to the same area.
-B1F-
Pokemon Found (||Maximum Level: 25||)
.............
Krabby [Water]
Zubat [Poison/Flying]
Seel [Water]
Golbat [Poison/Flying]
No Fishing here. This place certainly brings back some Gen 2 memories. Get that
Full Restore and SAVE before going into the inner chamber, the south exit is
blocked by an Aqua Grunt.
-INNER CHAMBER-
You'll find Giovanni and Axis checking out their latest Legendary target - Lugia!
Where's Gary, shouldn't he be here too? You don't find out why they're after it
because Giovanni notices you, he now wants to see if you're as powerful as Axis
claims. Any Poke Balls that you're currently carrying will be taken by Giovanni
just before he steps aside so Lugia can attack! The Master Ball is still there, so
you can either use it now and get Lugia SUPER early or defeat Lugia and come back
for it much later (it will be at Level 40). Decisions, decisions...
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x
>>LEGENDARY BATTLE<<
x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
Giovanni can't believe you won, and just before he can do more his phone rings -
something major has gone down at one of their bases in an area called KA-150 and he
has to get back there NOW. A nice little hint from Axis about something big
happening at that base. After Gio and Axis leave you'll notice that Lugia has
respawned, so no worries if you knocked it out. Exit the cave and meet up with Mr.
Jim, who saw the coast guard arrest some of the thugs but others escaped in a
helicopter. But the boat is safe and we return to Steel City. Back there go speak
to the Captain and be rewarded with a Level 25 Lapras! It is holding Mystic Water,
has Water Absorb and knows Mist, Body Slam, Confuse Ray and Perish Song. Nice. Go
back to where Mr. Jim is standing and continue south to where you found that guy
who wants a Moon Stone, a policeman stops you - this is Officer Johnson, he heard
about you from Captain John and asks for your number so that he can call you if
anything happens. Good news - the Gym that we found in this area here looks to be
the old Gym. The new and current one is on the south side of town, to reach it you
must circle round back to the east side then head southwest.
[g1] STEEL CITY GYM
+++++++++++++++++++
Jesus wept, more spinner tiles! Sheesh xD. Let's hope this isn't a sign of things
to come in this game. There are 6 Gym Trainers, each one standing near a doorway
and one of them leads to the north side where Lukas is.
Step on the left side northward tiles, from the lone tile step on the northward
tiles and once up top get to the lone tile on the left. Ignore the southward tiles
which are on the bottom right side from that lone tile, step on either of the
southward tile rows on the left side and end up in the southwest corner of the room
to battle Jamie.
Cooltrainer Jamie
- Lv27 Butterfree [Bug/Flying]
- Lv30 Vibrava [Ground/Dragon]
- Lv28 Dugtrio [Ground]
Prize: P1008
Go through the doorway, carry on up in a passge and prepare because you'll pop out
in the northwest side to meet Jamez face to face. Yup he's Jamez with a Z xD,
totally radical dude.
Cooltrainer Jamez
- Lv29 Machoke [Fighting]
- Lv27 Marowak [Ground]
Prize: P972
Cooltrainer Jen
- Lv25 Vaporeon [Water]
- Lv25 Jolteon [Electric]
- Lv25 Flareon [Fire]
Prize: P900
Besides commenting that previous challenger Zach was stronger, Jen will ask you if
you want to leave the Gym. If you say No she'll throw in a bit about Lukas not
being ready to face you. How come? Also if you say No there isn't another way to
cross over to the eastern side of the Gym. So say Yes and exit the Gym. I went back
in to check out that eastern side and none of the Gym Trainers there will battle,
they just give the same dialogue as the other 3. What's up with that?
Go back round to the southwest side of town, where the Garden is and go east along
the dirt road. A girl is being chased by a pair of Rockets, they'll take you on in
a Double Battle.
After those two "blast off", you'll then receive a call from Officer Johnson: you
are needed at the Lighthouse because there's a big problem there. The cop who keeps
us from going north past the docks is gone now so carry on there. You'll see a man
in a white shirt between buildings on the right, he sells enhancers:
HP Up P2000
Protein P2000
Iron P2000
Carbos P2000
Calcium P2000
PP Up P2000
Zinc P2000
PP Max P5000
Go east from there, eventually you'll get to a Gate-like building with a Lass
standing by the signboard. Inside is a man who sells Evolution Stones:
Back to the enhancers man and carry on north, passing a pair of cops blocking
access to a southward path, and then seeing a woman who will pay you P17000 if you
can give her a Claim Ticket. She's standing outside another building occupied by
Rockets who sell Pokemon, these ones have Mr. Mime and Sneasel. The man near the
building is hungry, if you give him Leftovers he'll give you a Poke Doll that's a
Key Item. North from him is a Beauty who sells Berries:
Buy 1 Sitrus Berry and 7 Oran Berries. Next door to the woman is a Poke Ball
seller:
North from them is another PokeCenter, on the left from it is a girl who will give
you 1 Shoal Salt. The locked out roommate is found just further up, give him the
Key and receive 3 Rare Candies as a reward. Before going into the Lighthouse go
east until you see an old man looking out at the sea, give him the Sitrus Berry and
he'll give you TM03 Aqua Jet. Continue on past him to see a woman near a garden of
flowers and a "weed" in the middle of it. Go and help her, catch or defeat that
Level 24 Sudowoodo and be rewarded with 1 Rare Candy. Now you can go back and let's
investigate the Lighthouse.
LIGHTHOUSE
----------
There's Officer Johnson, he just tells you to meet him at the top. Also present is
another policeman trying (?) to arrest a Rocket Grunt. Same situation on 2F, but on
3F you'll find Axis. He won't battle you here, instead he tells you not to follow
him as he jumps down into the sewers, which are apparently dark and full of people
and Pokemon. Oh, that's not good... :S
-BF5-
Dark? Yes, but fortunately no wild Pokemon, phew. The Aqua Grunts we find here
don't battle you. Follow the path as it goes to the northeast then circles round to
the stairs on the southwest side.
-BF4-
Go all the way east then south and southwest to the next stairs.
-BF3-
All the way south then east and a few steps up.
-BF2-
-BF1-
South then east until you see a north turn, go up to find the stairs and finally
exit the sewers.
BIRMIN STUDIOS
--------------
Huh? Didn't see this coming, I thought we were going to pop up back on the mean
streets of Steel City somewhere. Check your team and move on up.
-2F-
Face to face with an Aqua Grunt who tells you that they've taken over this place.
Damn.
There are 3 sets of stairs here, 2 are leading below. There's also an open doorway
on the upper left side. And a non-battling Rocket Grunt in the middle of this room.
Descend the upper left side staircase.
-1F-
On the south side of this area is a Rocket Grunt standing in front of a doorway,
she's up for a fight.
Don't bother going through either of those bottom doorways, they lead to the same
room where there are two more Grunts blocking doorway access. So head north to pass
through another doorway, leads to a room occupied by a Rocket Grunt. SAVE because
she turns out to be a Rocket Executive! There are shift doors serving as barriers
on the upper floors and in order to get rid of them you have to defeat this woman
right here and now.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>>ROCKET EXEC. BATTLE<<
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
**BATTLE NOTES:
She stands by her word and gets rid of the shift doors before disappearing.
Thanks :) return to 2F and go through the northwest doorway.
-3F-
Move to the north side of this room and go through the doorway in the middle,
you'll enter a short corridor ending with a stairway going down to a lone 2F room.
The Aqua Grunt here is on a break so no trouble, drop down the stairs to a 1F
passageway and climb up a series of stairs back to 3F, this time we're on the other
side of the top shift door and there's a Rocket waiting.
Go through the doorway on the right, you'll climb up some stairs, cross a 4F room,
climb down another set and exit through a doorway. We are now on the southeast side
of 3F, go for the doorway on the right and get ready for a rematch against those 2
Rockets who were bothering that girl earlier.
Rocket Duo Grunt & Grunt
- Lv30 Omastar [Rock/Water]
- Lv30 Kabutops [Rock/Water]
Prize: P1200
xD, are they supposed to be bootleg Jessie and James or just a pair of goofy
Grunts? After they run off, return to 1F and go through either of the south side
doorways. In the next room go through the right side doorway and SAVE because that
Rocket facing forward is another Executive. He takes care of the other shift doors
but you still have to battle him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>>ROCKET EXEC. BATTLE<<
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
**BATTLE NOTES:
Go back to where we battled the Rocket Duo and carry on up to 5F then SAVE before
going through the next doorway:
In the scene which follows you'll see Giovanni, Axis, a squad of cops...and Zach?
What's interesting is that Giovanni addresses him as Mr. President and it turns out
he has obtained some Master Ball prototypes that belong to Birmin Studios and isn't
giving them back. Once you've been noticed Giovanni decides to leave with Axis
before the cops can arrest him. Speak to Zach afterwards and learn that Birmin have
been working on creating a Master Ball, their big secret, and Zach has one to give
you. The second Master Ball given away so early in the game xD, this is insane.
Also insane is the reveal about Birmin Studios taking over their rival Silph Co. in
the past! This might explain why they have this Master Ball project. Zach will ask
for a battle, you can say No if you need to prepare your Pokemon first then speak
to him again. He'll heal your team just before the battle starts. I have to say,
the jump in team levels between regular Trainers, Grunts and Bosses and Rivals has
become something I'm concerned about. Check out Zach's crew, he's got a full team
now. Good grief.
================
>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Gyarados being Dragon-type instead of Flying-type? Makes sense :)
His Pokemon are between Levels 34 and 40?! How do we get from the Rocket Executive
with a team that hasn't even touched Level 30 to this?? Wow, and again we still
haven't gotten Gym Badge #1 yet. Afterwards Zach suggests you take on Gym Leader
Lukas, so return to 1F and exit through the bottom left side. Prepare if you need
to and then head for the Gym.
From the entrance, step on the northward spinner tiles on the right side. Once you
land on the lone tile, step on the next northward tiles. Up top, get to the lone
tile that's on the right and then to the southward tiles on the far right and end
up in the southeast area. Through the doorway, go up the passageway and exit back
in the Gym area, northeast side. Go through the next doorway on the left and you'll
enter a darkened area set up like a mini labyrinth:
Stay on the left side as you move up, take the first left turn then the first south
turn and continue along this passage until it heads north. Ignore the first left
turn, go for the second one and stick with it until you reach a southern exit.
Leads to an empty room with 2 southern exits, go through either one of them to
reach Lukas. It's time we get that first Gym Badge, out of how many by the way? 18?
19?
++++++++++++++
>>GYM BATTLE<<
++++++++++++++
**BATTLE NOTES:
And there we have it, our very first Badge in this game :) but again with the major
level jumps, makes me wonder what the basic levels could be in the other regions.
Leave the Gym via the spinner tiles pointing southward and as soon as you're at the
bottom of the stairs outside a phone call from Zach comes in. Now that you've got
the Badge he tells you about traded Pokemon now obeying you up to a certain level.
Zach adds that Steel City has a trade center and now that Team Rocket is gone the
city has opened up for us to explore. Problem is that even though you have a Badge
now Rocky the Onix (if you got him) will not obey. What's up with that? More bad
news from Zach: Captain John has left for Hoenn and if you want to travel you'll
have to find someone who will give you a Ticket. The dude gave you a Master Ball,
no spare Ticket too? Darn it :/
One of the places that we can visit now is Poke Park, if you have an extra P1000 to
spend. There are a few wild Pokemon to be found and Trainers you can fight. Also be
sure to buy some Claim Tickets.
POKE PARK
---------
The Trainers here are not the usual ones who challenge you as soon as they see you.
First up is Tedd.
Next to him is Bentley, whom you can fight again and again because he won't
stop...?
Hunter Bentley
- Lv34 Hitmonlee [Fighting]
Prize: P544
Above them there's Jessica on the right and Erikk on the left.
Cutie Jessica
- Lv33 Clefable [Normal]
Prize: P2640
It's bad enough that the guy disrespects you for how you're dressed, but to get rid
of you he gives you a Nugget too so that you can get cleaned up xD. Vicious. That
building on the left is another "Rocket shop", this one sells Porygon and Eevee.
The policeman by the Gate up top is Richard, he can be battled multiple times too.
Officer Richard
- Lv33 Espeon [Psychic]
Prize: P660
That's all the Poke Park has to offer. Leave and make your way to the northwest
side of town to the southward path which was previously blocked by 2 cops (it's
just below the Rocket shop). That path takes you to a large open area where you'll
find the Bike Shop, go in and receive a Bike Voucher from the shopkeeper. Take that
to the shop in Goldenrod City and get a Bike from there. North from the Bike Shop
is a spot for Trainers, there are 3 here that you can take on more than once:
Lass Clarissa
- Lv35 Jynx [Ice/Psychic]
Prize: P1260
Just above the Trainer spot is the Magnet Train Station and a Cooltrainer who
wishes he had a Heart Scale so he could cheer up someone named Collin. Collin is
the unhappy Cooltrainer that we found in Seaside Village, remember him? Make a note
of this guy for now and we'll come back to catch a train once you get a ticket or
train pass. Beyond the Station is a massive building which serves as the trade
center that Zach told you about. It's the Union Room that you normally find on the
second floor of Pokemon Centers, since the Centers in this game don't have a second
floor. Helped me big time because I could trade in some of my helpful Pokemon from
the previous version :) always keep your old save files guys and girls, you never
know when they might be helpful. Unfortunately there isn't someone in the trade
center who can explain what the actual level for traded Pokemon to start obeying is
:/
Return to the east side of town, from Mr Psychic's house go west until you are in
an area above the new Gym. On the right side is a woman in green, she's in need of
a birthday gift for her sister. The Poke Doll will do but she also wants Flowers,
you can get some from the woman whose garden was briefly occupied by Sudowoodo. In
exchange for the Poke Doll and Flowers you will be rewarded with a Heart Scale.
Rush back to the Cooltrainer, he now wants you to give the Heart Scale to his
brother Collin...way back in Seaside Village! This guy, is he serious?? Luckily the
ledge on Route 73 has an opening now so the trek back to Seaside Village won't be
as tedious as it used to be (would've needed the Walk through Walls code to get
over that ledge on the way back).
Give Collin the Heart Scale and he'll give you a Parcel that must be taken back to
the Cooltrainer a.k.a his brother Shane. Deliver the Parcel, which contains a
Rainbow Wing that he had asked for (!) Where did Collin get that? Wow. Shane gives
you a Boat Ticket and at long last we can finally leave this region for what I
really hope is a much, much more livelier place. When you're ready, go to the docks
and board the boat!

North from the PokeCenter is home of the Good Rod Fisherman, which is quite

We see Professors Elm and Oak in the middle of a chat about Gary, who had contacted
Elm from a ship in Steel City. Elm is concerned about what's going on and the
professors are here to meet Gary but he hasn't shown up. Red flag. They see you and
ask if you've seen Gary from the time he contacted Elm, but you haven't. On the
bright side though now that you're in Johto the professors tell you to meet them in
New Bark Town. No problem. But first let's pay Jasmine a visit and see how she's
doing.
Sadly there's nothing new, the Gym is pretty much the same as it was back in Gen 2,

As soon as we arrive we see a Rocket Grunt looking for the Burned Tower! He finds
it and rushes over there. Not good, what does he want over there? Let's look around
first before chasing after him:
He ain't the only Rocket in town, more Grunts are out and about but they aren't the
battling type. They are here to obtain some Legendary Pokemon, surprise surprise.
The Tin Tower is currently off limits to the public for now. The Theater on the
other hand is open so prepare for battle and to bust a few dance moves maybe.
The Theater Director in this universe has a Machoke instead of a Surfing Rhydon,
but he's still willing to give you a gift if you can defeat the Kimono Girls.
Starting from the left side of the stage, here we go:
Go on and collect the gift - HM03 Surf. What's left is to collect the Badge which
enables that HM for out of battle use. Exit the Theater and get ready for the Gym.
Do you have any fond memories of the Ecruteak Gym puzzle? Me neither :) but I do

Interesting thing to note is the cave entrance next to the Tower, currently blocked
by a Rocket Grunt. There's also a woman standing outside the Tower, be sure to make
a note of her.

Hmm not exactly the tourist spot that it should be, eh? And no Silver to push you
down into the basement xD, not even Blue was that extreme. Get to the north side,
that item near the hole in the floor is an X Speed. Drop down into the basement.

Ohh look who we find down here: Suicune, Raikou and Entei! SAVE before approaching
them because when you do, Raikou and Entei will take off but Suicune circles you
then attacks! Catch it if you can.

One caught, two are out there running around Johto maybe? I thought Suicune was
also going to flee and wait for us near Cianwood like in the old games. Also I'm
guessing Eusine isn't in this game. Go south to find TM08 Bulk Up and an HP Up
before climbing the ladder back to the 1F. Near the stairs is a Burn Heal.
When you step outside you'll be approached by that woman, she says some Team Rocket
members have gone to the Tin Tower! Plus one of the Tower protectors is her
grandfather so she's worried about him. Go through the building next to the
northeast pond to reach the Tin Tower, prep up and let's go.

No worries, the Tin Tower in this universe doesn't have 9 million floors and
puzzles. Just follow the stairs all the way to the roof.

- Lv43 Nidoking [Poison/Ground] {Poison Point}
Prize: P1032
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Hmm, is that THE Red Gyarados from Lake of Rage...or just a regular Shiny
Gyarados?
Being defeated now has convinced Giovanni that you're a serious threat to him but
he still vows to defeat you next time. Return to town and prepare for the journey
to Goldenrod City. The plan is we get Whitney's Badge so that we can use Strength
then we'll travel to Cianwood, battle Chuck and acquire HM Fly so that we can
finally fast travel. I went back to Steel City and spoke to Shane just to check if
he has anything new to say since he has a Rainbow Wing, nothing new. Makes me
wonder who else could have a Rainbow Wing. Anyway, head south onto Route 37.

On the right side you'll get a Blue Apricorn from the right side tree, previously
there was a Red Apricorn from the left side tree.
[rt36] ROUTE 36
---------------
The guy that you'll see first will give you HM06 Rock Smash. If I remember
correctly he was the guy who couldn't get to this side because of the Sudowoodo
situation in the original Gen 2 games, right? In a previous version we could simply
go to the Ruins of Alph and then Violet City but this time round there's an actual
tree in the Sudowoodo spot and you don't have Cut yet so just carry on south then
west to the National Park.

Catch a Drowzee, someone in Goldenrod will want to trade his Machop for one. Go all
the way south through the grass to find Bryan.
Move up along the fence and you'll reach TM46 Thief. Back to Route 36, you'll get
an Aspear Berry from the tree just above the Gate entrance.
[rtnp] NATIONAL PARK

Sadly no Bug Catching Contests so none of those rare Bug Pokemon. Head south to
find Dio and continue in the grass going clockwise from there:

There's a gap in the fence on the northeast side of the park, go through to pick up
a Parlyz Heal. Stay on the outside of the fence as you circle round to the outter
southwest area to get TM28 Mud-Slap. Move to the southwest area close to the fence
and check the bottom left tile for an invisible Full Heal (I'll take a screenshot
of the exact spot). Back into the park area and head south into Relaxation Square.
On the right side you'll see a woman and her Persian. Speak to her to get a Quick
Claw. Carry on to exit through the south Gate back to Route 35.

near the elevator gives out a Mystery Gift phrase: LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL, but the
sheet of paper she's referring to isn't there. The woman behind the counter could
be the one who popped up on Sundays in the original games and would give away TMs.

Luckily in this game you can get all the items found here:

That concludes the shopping trip. To the east from the Dept. Store is the Bike
Shop, go get that Bicycle. On the western side is the home of the world's greatest
PokeManiac Bill, but the man isn't there :/ instead we find his mother and sister.
Mother tells you that Bill went to the Ecruteak PokeCenter (he's not back there
either). Next to the house is the southern entrance to the Underground.

Next is one of the haircut brothers, he gives one haircut per day for P300 and
somehow this works despite the absence of the RTC function. There's an invisible
Parlyz Heal on the upper left tile next to him (see screenshot). There's another
invisible item 3 steps above Isaac, a Super Potion (see screenshot). Very odd that
these invisible items aren't hidden items which the Itemfinder would be picking up.
I'm just discovering the items by bumping into them :S which means the Itemfinder
is pretty much useless. After the haircut brother is an old man who only has a
Nugget to sell for P4500. No more entrance to that Team Rocket secret hideout but
there's yet another invisible item, an Antidote in the bottom left corner of that
small corridor.

Nice thing about this Game Corner is that you can still purchase Coins even without
having a Coin Case (which we would've found in the Underground back in Gen 2 days):
50 Coins P1000
500 Coins P10000
Funny enough, the man who lost the Coin Case is the one roaming about on the left
side of the room xD. When you're done gambling, prepare for Whitney. No point in
checking out the Radio Tower because there's no PokeGear in this game and also we
can't go up to the upper floors because a guard is blocking access to the staircase
and says that the Director is acting strange...which could either be just a little
nod to the Gen 2 Team Rocket subplot or be part of what's going on now involving
Team Aqua.
Geez, all those boxes xD! It's as if the ladies are either moving out or have just
moved in. Normal-type is still the theme here, let's get to work. Go up along the

South from George is the northeast island, you can pick up an Ultra Ball in the
first area but below from there you'd need the correct Badge for Rock Smash to use
a shortcut. Also you'll need Flash. The southeast island is the one which leads to
Lugia, so if you didn't manage to catch it the first time you can do so now. Level
40, knows the same moves as before. Swimming on the south side of the southwest
island is Wendy.

In the first basement floor of the island's cave you'll find 1 Carbos. This is also
the basement floor of the northeast cave. Once you pick up the Carbos climb back up
and exit, don't jump down the ledge or else you'll have to make your way further
below to the inner chamber area and exit out of the southeast island cave. Once
you're back outside just carry on west into Cianwood waters.

Can it still be called a city when there are only 2 places of interest now, xD?
Good grief no Photo Studio, no Mart and the Pharmacy's gone. That is rough. In the
house next to the PokeCenter is the guy who will give you a Shuckle and the old
reference to Silver. Is he even in this game though, given that his dad is? Shuckle
is Level 15, holds an Oran Berry, has Sturdy and knows Constrict, Withdraw, Wrap
and Encore. Chuck's wife is outside the Gym, we should get HM Fly from her after
the battle.
Okay, the Gym design is still just like the original setup so make sure you brought
some Strength. Back to back fights against the first Gym Trainers Yoshi and Lao,
coming up.
Very simple Strength puzzle, might as well just call it an obstacle. Push up both
of the side boulders then the middle one to either side.

**BATTLE NOTES:

Not Brick Break in this game and that's not the only bad news. When you exit the
Gym and speak to Chuck's wife she doesn't give away HM Fly :/ the post-Gym battle
dialogue is there but no prize. It's odd because previously she would give the HM
away like normal. So who has it in this update now? Damn. On the bright side though
you've got another Badge now, although it doesn't allow for Rock Smash to be used
outside of battles (and yet this would've been the perfect Badge to get for that
too). Return to Goldenrod City and let's carry on south to Azalea Town.

There was one in Goldenrod City and here's another. What's going on here? Continue
northeast until you see a gap between trees on the upper left, there's an invisible
Super Potion there (see screenshot). Follow the path east then south, southwest to
Grunts #3 and #4.
Then you'll find their boss Axis standing by the Forest Shrine. He has an
unidentified object that he is certain will make Celebi appear here...and sure
enough a moment later Celebi appears. Axis is ready to catch it for Giovanni, but
then he realises that if he catches Celebi now there's no need for Team Aqua to
obey Giovanni and they can use Celebi's time travel powers to go back into the past
and correct their mistakes, and maybe Archie will return to them. That unidentified
object turns out to be a Master Ball and right after Celebi is captured, Axis sees
you and decides to try out his newest Pokemon on you in a Double Battle!

**BATTLE NOTES**
Axis accepts that he isn't as good as Archie but thanks to Celebi's power he plans
to bring Archie back to help Team Aqua. Just as Axis tries to use the power Zach
arrives to stop him. He has Ampharos use Thunderbolt to break the Master Ball, thus
freeing Celebi and it flees the scene. Despite this Axis says he has a backup plan
and he runs away with his Grunts back to Giovanni. Yup, just crawling back to
Giovanni xD. Zach suggests that you should be extra cautious now about Axis because
of that "backup plan" and then gives you HM01! He adds that Jasmine's Badge is
what's needed for it, lucky enough that was the first Badge you got after you
arrived in Johto :) Zach then leaves for New Bark Town because Prof. Oak wants to
meet him there. After that, SAVE then check out the Shrine and watch as Celebi
returns to battle you. Catch it if you can.

Apricorn and Kurt is home but he won't accept any Apricorns because he is already
working on a Ball. A little odd but maybe it's special Ball that we could need
later? At the Charcoal Kiln, the Apprentice of the Charcoal Maker gives you another
HM01. I guess two are better than one :) get yourself ready for Bugsy and let's go.

Ruins of Alph.
Unfortunately the only reason to pass by here is to catch Pokemon. The Unown are
around but none of the chambers have any of the sliding tile puzzles so in this

On the south side is Ator, and that's a Poke Ball next to him.
Above him is the sleeping guy, if I remember correctly players would receive a
letter-carrying Spearow from the Nationak Park eastern Gate guard and deliver the
letter to this guy. If you spoke to him again he would give you the TM for
Nightmare and if you spoke to the guard after the delivery you were allowed to keep
the Spearow. That all happened in the Gen 2 games, but doesn't seem possible in
this one. A little further to the right is someone we haven't seen in quite a while
- Eddy! He is here in Johto hoping to find tough Trainers that he can challenge
after being told about the region. He admits that he misjudged you before but he
isn't so sure that you are ready to explore Johto. Time to prove him wrong again :)

and Zach just outside New Bark Town. Zach had been waiting for Eddy here, he
reveals that Prof. Oak wanted to see them because of Gary. He is still missing but
Oak now believes that he is in Kanto and so Zach and Eddy are tasked with finding
him there. Eddy, going into Tsundere mode xD, agrees to help but not for your sake.
He'll wait for you in Kanto. As for Zach, it has been a while since you battled him
so now's the time for another round.

Here we are in New Bark Town, the place where for over 20 years now MANY Johto
adventures got started. As soon as you arrive you'll see Silver waiting just
outside the lab. He has heard about you after what happened in Ecruteak and despite
Team Rocket being a group led by his dad, Silver has no problem throwing some shade
on them. He is also aware of the Gary situation so he gives you HM02 Fly and says
you should head to Fuchsia and check out the hideout. You have Falkner's Badge so
no problem using Fly now. Silver then says he won't get involved in this Team
Rocket issue, because he isn't ready to face Giovanni yet. Interesting. In the lab
you'll find the professors, speak to Oak and he confirms that they don't know
Gary's current location but they are certain that he's somewhere in Kanto. Then Oak
gives you the Magnet Train Pass.
You can visit Ethan's Mom and find out that Ethan's the current Champion, but Mom
doesn't know where he is. I like that bit of continuity to tie the Johto in this
game to Gen 2. Where could Ethan be? What about Kris, or even Red?? Hopefully we'll
get some answers at some point. To the east is Route 27, you can have a quick look
there.
[rt27] ROUTE 27
---------------
It's nice to see this place got patched up, because previously if you Surfed out
here and returned to New Bark you would see a glitched out Pallet Town. The only
thing of note you can do here for now is pick up a Moon Stone from the upper left
side corner in Tohjo Falls. Now that you can Fly around there are a few places to
be revisited, mainly to make use of Rock Smash:
/CIANWOOD CITY\
- On the northern beach smash the northern most rock to access an invisible Max
Ether. There's also a rock just above the doorless building on the south end of the
beach, smash it to access an invisible Revive.
/SLOWPOKE WELL\
- Now you can reach the southwest corner to pick up a Big Pearl.
/LAKE SOL\
- On the western side of the lake is a cave, go in and find 4 holes in the floor.
Remember the inscription that we found in the other Lake Sol cave? It was referring
to this place:
Drop down the holes in that order and eventually you'll land in a room occupied by
Jirachi!

-1F-
On the elevated ground on the right is an Ultra Ball. Nothing else of note so don't
bother climbing down the ladder. Return to Ecruteak and get ready to go east.
[rt42] ROUTE 42
---------------
That's an Ultra Ball near the Mt. Mortar signboard. Let's go in and have a look.
-1F AREA 1-
There are two entrances ahead, one in the northwest corner and another in the
northeast corner, each leading to Area 2. On the south side of this area is a
ladder to the basement area, but down there is a deadend at the north end. Go
through the northwest entrance.
-1F AREA 2-
You'll find a ladder on the left, it leads to the west side of the Area 1 waterfall
where you'll find an Ether. Head to the right until you see a north path blocked by
a boulder. Follow that path all the way up until you see 2 sets of steps, go for
the left set and climb up a rocky platform to get an Escape Rope. Return all the
way down south and go east to climb the ladder in the southeast corner, it leads to
the east side of the waterfall where you'll find a Guard Spec. For now that's as
much as you can do in Mt. Mortar until you get Waterfall so exit back to Route 42
by going through the 1F Area 1 south exit.
Back outside, you'll find a Super Potion on the right side from the entrance. Cut
the tree below to reach the Pink Apricorn tree on the left. Surf across to the
east, you'll see Stan on the other side.

Follow the path northwest into the maze of trees until you reach 2 ledges, use the
Itemfinder on the right side of them to locate a hidden Rawst Berry (see
screenshot). Continue north to Cut the first of a few skinny trees in this maze.
After Cutting the second one, turn left and stay with that path as it leads to
Raikou!
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x

x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
Okay, I like that it was out in the overworld and not a random encounter like in
the old games. Two Legendary Beasts captured, one remains...where could Entei be?
Go back to where you took the left turn and go right (use the Itemfinder in the gap
on the left to pick up a hidden Chesto Berry, see screenshot), take the first north
turn and at the left side end of the path use the Itemfinder to get a hidden Pecha
Berry (see screenshot). Back track to take the next north turn and use the
Itemfinder in the small gap between trees on the right to get a hidden Razz Berry
(see screenshot). That house which you may have noticed near Raikou is locked for
some unknown reason, I believe that's where you would get TM Hidden Power in the
original games. Return to the main road of Route 43 and head for the lake.
Damn so it's true, Giovanni caught THE Red Gyarados :S I held on to some hope and
thought we would get here and maybe find another one. No Fishing Rod from the
Fishing Guru, so I'm guessing the Super Rod is in Kanto now. Nothing else happening
at the lake so head back to town and prepare for the Winter Trainer.

In the grass area just across that pond is a visible Max Revive and an invisible
Max Ether a few steps to the right side of it (or see screenshot). Then head all
the way east to Ice Path.
-1F-
Slide along the upper side of the ice floor on the left, this gets you to the first
north turn. Go along that path, slide up, left, down, right, up, right and up to
get HM07 Waterf-- nope, a Nugget! The HM was here previously xD, now where has it
gone to?? Slide to the far left, up, right then down and return to the eastern side
of this room. Head all the way up to a ladder leading below.
-B1F-
This is where we make use of that Strength move. Head up until you see a hole in
the floor, if you drop through it you'll land close to a Max Potion in the
northwest corner of B2F. To get back to B1F just slide to the east then northeast
to a ladder. The boulder that you'll find on the north side of B1F, push it to the
hole you would've dropped through before. Go south from the northwest ladder to
find a mini Strength puzzle: push down both of the side boulders on the sides, the
top boulder to either side and the bottom one down the hole. Jump down the ledge,
push that right boulder to the hole which you'll see on the upper left side of your
screen. You saw 2 boulders on the bottom left side of your screen, right? Push the
left boulder to the hole on the left and drop through it.
-B2F- (Area 1)
Slide up, right, down, left, up, right and up. That's a Full Heal near the ladder.
-B3F-
Head to the right, smash the rock and get to the southwest corner to pick up an
invisible Nevermeltice (see screenshot).
-B2F- (Area 2)
Climb up the steps, you'll find an Iron on the top side then jump down the ledge
and go for the ladder.
-B1F- (Area 2)
We'll come back here when we can scale waterfalls. Slide to the left side, once you
get to the next rest spot slide left, down, left to the far left rest spot, down,
right, down, left and down to climb a rocky platform where there is an invisible
Blue Flute somewhere in the middle area (see screenshot). There are some invisible
wall tiles too on the right side, don't mind those. Make your way back to the
middle rest stop and slide all the way up and head for the exit on the left.

One positive thing about not having Dragon's Den around is that Clair just give you
the Badge now instead of being a sore loser and refusing to hand it over until you
enter the Den. Classic scumbag Clair :) Good times. Congratulations, you have all
the Johto Badges now! Normally that means all roads lead to the League but you
can't travel there yet because you don't have HM Waterfall. Exit and prepare for
the Mountain Road down south.
[rt45] ROUTE 45
---------------
Head south and Surf down the first pool. If you were curious enough to climb the
steps and head west before reaching the pool you would've found a guy in green in
the northwest area. He's some kind of glitch that will disappear whenever you talk
to him (and you pick up a Revive) and he will reappear after you start to walk away
from him. After crossing the first pool carry on to Surf over the next one and
you'll reach TM35 Flamethrower in the southeast corner. On the southwest side is
the ledge that kept us from exploring this area so head back up to Route 45.
As you should remember about this route, it's split into 2 sides with items and
Trainers on either side. The east side is split into two lanes, along the left lane
is Erik and Ryan is on the right.

You'll find the southeast entrance into Dark Cave but you can ignore it now since
you already got the Full Heal that was there. As you go south stay on the left side
because that's where the final Legendary Beast is waiting!

Only one Johto Legendary remains now, Ho-Oh, and yet the one guy who has a Rainbow
Wing is a regular NPC with no connection to the story of the game xD. Next to Entei
is a Dire Hit and once you jump down the ledge you're back in that final section of
this route. That's how we wrap up the Johto tour, despite not being able to travel
to Kanto the traditional way. So we'll travel there by train instead. Return to
Goldenrod City and head for the Station. The conductor says that not only can you
go to Kanto but you can take the train to Hoenn and back to Steel City also. Oak
and Elm did mention Hoenn way back at the Academy and now's the chance to go there.

storyline wise and Kanto wasn't any better but we've got a story going on in this

Silph Co. involved in some way. One thing of note is what the Black Belt outside

Now that the Pokemon Fan Club's gone the only other thing of note worth checking
out is the S.S. Tide docked at the Port. There's also an empty space just to the
southeast from the Port too, make a note of that for later. Prepare for Surge, that
Lightning German :) or is he Bolivian?
Praise be to the previous challenger because they went and did a number on Surge's
infamous traps, so no Gym puzzle here because the Gym Trainers are too busy trying
to repair the traps xD, I like that.

No reason is given by the guard outside the Contest Hall as to why it is closed. I
did give Contests a try back in the Gen 3 days, thinking that doing them was part
of the story, but after figuring out that they weren't I lost interest in them.
Continue southeast along the coast from the Contest Hall, you'll reach a Cheri
Berry tree. The Museum is on the northwest side of town, you'll find a Nugget by
the box which is blocking access to the back room there.

I was actually expecting the Safari Zone to be gone too, because that wouldn't have
been a surprise after what we've seen so far. There aren't even any Pokemon in the
enclosures around town! We'll go in and check it out the Zone after the Gym. On the
northwest side of town is a Bug Catcher who is the Substitute Tutor and above him
is a White Apricorn tree. On the northeast side is the real reason we are here, the
new hideout that has been set up by Team Rocket. Standing outside the hideout is
Eddy, but we'll talk to him after the Gym because he wants to battle you first
(just to, you know, make sure you're good enough for the rescue operation and all).
Sabrina has warp tiles while Janine not only kept her dad's invisible walls gimmick
but has her Gym Trainers playing body doubles. The real Janine is on the western
side. From the entrance go all the way east and move north along the wall to face

================
>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Eddy has 2 Hyper Potions.
Who else but Eddy would want to have a battle ahead of a major rescue, eh? After
proving how strong you are, he's just glad to not have to save a second person xD.
Zach is already inside, so let's get to work.
And what do you find once you step inside? Yup, spinner tiles :) these ones aren't
as troublesome as the Unknown Island tiles, thank goodness. Standing by the
entrance you should be seeing 5 tiles in front of you: both of the left tiles are
pointing up, the middle one points down and the right side tiles are also pointing
up. Step on the far left upward tile, you'll spin to a non-spinner tile and can
then make your way to the upper right area for a fight.
That second Grunt reveals that Giovanni and Axis have already left, no chance of
them returning anytime soon. In the next area you can see Zach and Eddy battling
two other Grunts while an Executive from the Birmin Studio operation is watching
over Gary in a smaller room. She won't let him go while Team Rocket is chasing
after more Legendary Pokemon and is surprised to see that you, Eddy and Zach have
shown up to save Gary when this hideout was supposed to be a secret. She hasn't
forgotten what happened at Birmin and claims to be much stronger now!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>>ROCKET EXEC. BATTLE<<
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
**BATTLE NOTES:
- She has 3 Hyper Potions.
This plan has failed but the Executive says things are far from over because
Giovanni still has other schemes up his sleeves. The Rockets leave and Gary
explains what happened to him: while he was in Olivine City he overheard Giovanni's
plan to catch Ho-Oh in Ecruteak. But when Gary went there to stop Team Rocket they
overwhelmed him and he ended up locked in this hideout. Your efforts in Ecruteak
made sure Ho-Oh wasn't captured, Gary is pleased to hear this. He then adds that he
heard another plan, this one targets the Legendary Birds. Giovanni has sent 3
groups of Rockets to Route 10, Route 20 and Route 26 in pursuit of them. Eddy says
he's headed to Route 26, Gary is going to Route 10 while Zach will go to Route 20.
As for you, Zach says you can help them when needed. Great, you get to be in the
backseat while the real heroes go out to save the world xD. Exit the hideout and
let's check out the Safari Zone before making the next move forward. Hold on while

When you're done we'll be going west so that we cover Routes 18 to 16, then off to
the Power Plant to help Gary then we'll head south of Fuchsia to the sea route of

this game doesn't need a Bike and isn't an uphill/downhill struggle :)

I wouldn't even call this a route, it's just a few paces between Fuchsia and the

Right after stepping out of the Gate, check the top side from the entrance for a
hidden PP Up (see screenshot). Continue going until you reach the south side of the
two roads, turn to the left corner and check by the fence for a hidden Rare Candy

Nice, only one Kanto Badge remains now. Prepare yourself and enter the cave next
door.
Nothing on the right side, but when you head to the left you'll find the first sign
of trouble.
Team Aqua and Team Rocket working together to catch Legendary Pokemon, what would
Team Magma say about this?? Go straight up after the Grunt until you see stairs
leading to a small pit with an icy rock in it, check that rock for a hidden Nugget
(see screenshot). Then head east to the next Grunt before going north to help Zach.
Despite facing two Grunts Zach can handle them, he tells you to hurry into the next
area because Axis has gone there. He is face to face with Articuno when you find
him and even though he's not happy about working for Giovanni again, Axis is still
ready to do his job. Double Battle against Axis, coming up.

A few paces inside and you're stopped by Gary, who not only confirms that Team
Rocket has taken over but he heard about Zapdos occupying this place before and
Gary thinks it may have returned. But before you can get down to business, Gary
(after acknowledging that this isn't exactly the best time for it) wants the two of
you to battle, since it's been a while. Couldn't this have waited until AFTER
saving Zapdos, bro xD? Sheesh...
================
>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================
He heals your team afterwards and carries on ahead to take his revenge on Team
Rocket after what they did to him. Totally justified. Proceed into the next room
and find the first Grunt.
On the right side of the room are 3 non-functioning healing machines, get to the
middle one and check the bottom left tile by the machine for a hidden Big Mushroom.
-2F-
Gary has 2 Grunts that he has to beat so continue on without him to a third Grunt.
Past her is another Executive from the Birmin Studio event and Zapdos. Stop him!

>>ROCKET EXEC. BATTLE<<

**BATTLE NOTES:
- He has 2 Hyper Potions.
Just like the other Executive and Axis, no outrage after losing because there are
other plans in the works. What are these plans?? Anyway Zapdos is saved and ready
for capture.

Two down, one more to be found. I wonder how Eddy is handling his end of this
mission, he's probably defeated all the Grunts there xD. No complaints if that is
the case. Return to Pewter City and head south to Route 2. What remains of the
mighty green maze that was Viridian Forest is now just a mini green maze of
trees :S I guess this makes sense since the forest had most of its trees cut down
in the original games. There's an Oran Berry tree on the upper right side of the
maze. Just outside Viridian City is Doug.

Aha, this is where Eddy has gone to. Head up find a Rocket Grunt.
South from that Grunt is a rock, check it for a hidden Sun Stone. Over on the
northwest side we find Eddy vs 2 Grunts, no assistance needed there, so proceed to
stop the pair of Grunts who are trying to catch Moltres in the hope of getting a
promotion for it. These two are the bootleg Jessie and James wannabes from Birmin
Studio, there's no way they should be allowed to handle a Legendary!

**BATTLE NOTES:
- They have 2 Hyper Potions & 1 Full Heal.
And of course they "blast off" (again) because their boss wouldn't be too happy to
find out that they failed. Never let a Grunt do an Executive's job :) we've stopped
all the 3 teams that Giovanni sent out to chase after the Legendary Birds....but
still, something doesn't feel right. Just then, Silver arrives and says he also
thinks all this might be a distraction. Fortunately he knows how Giovanni operates
and so Silver tells you the next major location where he found his old man: Mt.
Moon. Eddy doesn't see why you and the others should trust Silver, but Silver says
he has never liked Giovanni's actions so he's going to stop him, whether you trust
Silver or not. There's no choice, Zach and the others leave for Mt. Moon and you
remain to catch Moltres.

The house that had the old woman who gave players something (can't remember now if
it was an item or a TM) is gone and then there's Tohjo Falls, nothing of note now
since you already got the Moon Stone which is on the Johto side of the falls.
Return to Pewter and get ready for the showdown at Mt. Moon.

Then you'll meet up with Zach and wouldn't you know it, he's suddenly the mood for
a battle xD. He's feeling the nerves now that we're close to Mt. Moon and thinks a
battle could help him. You just couldn't hold on until after stopping Giovanni, eh?
================
>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Zach has 3 Hyper Potions + 1 Full Heal.
But this battle yields an extra prize though, the final HM (FINALLY) HM07
Waterfall! Clair's Badge is needed for it, which you got ages and ages ago at this
point :) Team Rocket is certainly here and Zach thinks they are here for Mew. While
we were chasing after the Legendary Birds, this was the real operation. Damn. But
we're here now so let's clean up.
In the middle of the red flowers below her is a hidden Oran Berry. Continue east to
find Eddy vs 2 Grunts just outside the entrance to Mt. Moon. The handy PokeCenter
which used to be here is gone now, so hopefully you've come prepared.
-1F-
Not as big as it used to be, the exit to Route 4 is right there in the southeast
section xD! Wow. In the northeast is a ladder that takes us to the upper outside
area known as Mt. Moon Square in the Gen 2 games. But first...
Gary and Zach have a 3 trio of Grunts to deal with, proceed to the left side area
and find Giovanni and Axis with Mew. Giovanni says he doesn't blame Axis for
wasting one Master Ball in Ilex Forest but this time there can be no failure. Then
they turn around and find you standing there, much to their surprise because
Giovanni expected you to be far away running after the Legendary Birds. He then
tells Axis to catch Mew while Giovanni deals with you. The battle on the Tin Tower
roof was one thing, this one has Giovanni ready to fight!

Prize: P1248
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Giovanni has 4 Full Restores.
Now THAT'S a boss battle, with powerful moves, Full Restores and Held Items! We
should've been seeing this with the Gym Leaders and Rivals, why wasn't that
happening? Perhaps the Elite 4 will make up for that, fingers crossed. During the
fight Axis should've been catching Mew...but to Giovanni's surprise, Axis did not.
This is the moment when he finally tells Giovanni that he is done working for him
and then he drops a shocker - Team Aqua have captured Kyogre in the Ice Path! The
Master Ball that Axis was supposed to use in Ilex Forest? That's what was used to
obtain Kyogre. The man deserves a slow clap :) what Giovanni has right now is a
fake and he can't believe Axis would betray him like this. It's all for Archie,
Axis may be many things but disloyal he is not. After Axis leaves, Giovanni
announces that Team Rocket is done (again) and as he wonders how you found out
about the hideout in Fuchsia, Silver arrives to remind him why he got involved in
spoiling things for Team Rocket. Giovanni hasn't learned the lessons of his
previous actions. He then explains why he came to catch Mew, for its DNA. Team
Rocket used it before and ended up with Mewtwo and things didn't exactly go very
well for Team Rocket after that. Giovanni admits defeat this time but he won't give
up. After he leaves, Zach, Eddy and Gary find out from Silver about what happened
at Ice Path so they are headed there. As for Silver he works for the League now AS
THE CHAMPION (!) while Lance went away for some time. Wow, so what has happened to
Ethan? Because we haven't seen any sign of him so far, just a mention from his Mom.
And Lance, will he pop up at some point? Things are certainly getting intriguing.
Mew is still here, catch it if you can.
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
>>MYTHICAL BATTLE<<
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
Mew was there in previous versions but couldn't be caught, if you spoke to it you
would get dialogue of one of the Cerulean NPCs xD. Strange but hilarious. With Mew
on your side you now have a universal HM user :) just make sure your copy of the
game has been edited to allow for HMs to be deletable (the Hex Helper Double Oh
editor program is one good example that can help with that). Return to 1F and exit
out to Route 4.
[rt04] ROUTE 4
--------------
Along the south side of the route are red flowers, there's a hidden Razz Berry
between the 3 on the left and the one in the middle. Now that you've got HM
Waterfall there are a few places we can return to and explore, including Ice Path,
so get ready for the backtrack trip.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>THE MINOR BACKTRACK: WATERFALL EDITION<
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
/ECRUTEAK CITY\
- With the Rockets long gone now you can enter the cave that's near the Burned
Tower. No wild encounters in the cave, make your way to the southeast side to pick
up a Rainbow Wing! There it is :) and to think that Giovanni and company were all
over Ecruteak except this cave xD. Maybe it's because they didn't have Surf
(couldn't beat the Kimono Girls) and Waterfall (didn't beat Zach on Route 3), it
would explain why they didn't have it. Exit and return to the Tin Tower roof for
the final Johto Legendary.

/MT. MORTAR\
- HM Flash is still needed. Above the waterfall is an entrance on the northwest
side, leads to Area 3.
-1F AREA 3-
Just north of the pool on the left is an Escape Rope, you'll need it so don't throw
it away (unless you got Pokemon that can Dig or Teleport on your team). Then go all
the way east, jump down some ledges and head up onto higher ground then cross a
much smaller pool. Straight north onto a rocky mound to find a Dragon Scale. Jump
down those ledges on the left side, cross another small pool and get to the ladder
in the northwest corner.
Back in Area 2, make your way round to the northwest side and climb down the ladder
there.

/ICE PATH\
- Use the Blackthorn City entrance back into Ice Path and cross the frozen floor
back to the east side. From there, step back onto the frozen floor from the upper
edge of it then slide up, right, up, right, down, right, up and continue north to
the waterfall. Above it is an opening to a new area that has mini maze leading to
an Aqua Grunt and ladder.
Now that they've got Kyogre it looks as if Team Aqua have been motivated. Are they
close to getting Archie back now?
You'll eventually find Zach, Eddy and Gary battling the remaining Grunts and then
there's Axis and Kyogre. Time and time again you've stopped Axis, he acknowledges
that you are a threat but now that Kyogre is in Team Aqua's grasp he cannot allow
you to interfere this time. This is his last stand, here we go.

**BATTLE NOTES:
- Axis has 4 Full Restores.
He had 4 Full Restores but no Held Items for his team :S that's what did him in.
Axis figures that maybe Team Aqua wasn't going to win in the end, given what
happened to them in Hoenn under Archie. Axis frees Kyogre and says he's going back
to Hoenn, hoping to never see you again. No more Team Rocket and no more Team Aqua,
the day is saved :) even Eddy finally admits that you are now worthy to be his
rival. The boys then leave to continue with their journeys while you stay behind to
catch Kyogre!

final arc of your big adventure begins now.
-1F-
-2F-
Head for the north side ladder. I'm getting flashbacks to the Denta region xD where
are the Trainers?? Wait a minute...now that I think about it, Gen 2 Victory Road
had no Trainers and it was a shorter route too, if I'm remembering right. So the
lack of Trainers is canon then :) carry on.
-3F-
No items, no Trainers...except for one who is standing by the exit up top: Gary.
From starting out as graduates of West Academy to meeting each other at the exit of
Victory Road, it's been an eventful journey for both of you. Now it's time to find
out who will challenge the League first, you or him?

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<

**BATTLE NOTES:
- Gary has 4 Full Restores.
Is this the last time we'll see Gary? Or will he return in the post-game?
[rt23] ROUTE 23
---------------
Yup, still a short route :) slightly longer than Route 18 even! March on straight
up to the door of League HQ, we are finally here.
The Elite 4 setup is the standard one that has you facing them one after the other.
Get ready and proceed to the first room, which is occupied by a Scienti-- I mean
Will the Psychic-type specialist xD *sigh* some of these overworld sprites for
major characters, I swear.

**BATTLE NOTES:

Congratulations, you've become the NEW Pokemon League Champion! You would've faced
Lance in a previous version (with a team of Pokemon holding HP Ups for some
reason...) and that battle was rather lukewarm. This one was a bit better, just
needed more Held Items for the rest of the team instead of just a Sitrus Berry for
the star Pokemon. The Hall of Fame follows and then the credits roll...
(<<POST-GAME ADVENTURES>>)
You will reappear outside the West Academy PokeCenter to kick off the post-game
side of things. Back where it all began, eh? There is a little bit to be done
before reaching the end of the game (thanks to Hacksrepairman), previously the only
thing left to do was get to the top of Mt. Silver for the final battle. Return to
Lilycove and head to the Team Aqua Hideout.
-ENTRANCE AREA-
You'll find an Aqua Grunt who is okay with you being here (if you're just visiting,
of course) because Team Aqua has no plans at the moment. Yup, Team Aqua be chilling
now xD this is embarassing, they've turned into Hoenn's Team Skull. Go through the
door.
-AREA 2-
Lucky for you this isn't the same hideout as in the original games, all the
annoying warp tiles are gone now. Axis is in one of the two offices, he is not too
happy about seeing you again after your last meeting and so he decides to battle
you one more time (thinking that you followed him here to spoil things for him,
again xD).
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
>>AQUA ADMIN BATTLE<<
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Without Archie around these guys are completely lost. I wonder what kind of story
we could've gotten if Team Magma was there as well. They would have an easy going
taking over Aqua right now, seeing how weakened they've become. Axis tells you that
one of their Scientists found something interesting on an island far from here, he
even lets you borrow the Aqua submarine so that you can go there! Just like that,
no strings attached. You could almost feel sorry for these guys, they really have
nothing left, damn. Speak to the Grunt who is by the water on the southeast side of
the room and head off to Southern Island.
Make your way to the north side of the island, you'll pass a signboard that has
this written on it:
On the north side is what would normally be one of those pressure buttons which you
push boulders onto in Strength puzzles. Press A on the button and this message
comes up:
The Eon Duo suddenly appears, they remember you from Rustboro and are ready to
battle you again. This time though you can catch them too :)
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x
>>LEGENDARY BATTLE<<
x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
And there you go, all the Gen 3 Legendary Pokemon have been captured. Return to
Kanto and then Route 25. There is a shady Sailor standing near Bill's Sea Cottage,
remember him? It's time to find out what his deal is. Right after he tells you
again that he's just a normal Sailor, Silver shows up to confront him and get the
truth out: the Sailor works for Giovanni and he agrees to transport you to the area
known as KA-150. We first heard about this place way back when Giovanni and Axis
were in Lugia's chamber. Something had happened there which made them leave
quickly. Now you find out that Mewtwo is locked up there! Giovanni was right about
not giving up after all. Silver says he'll meet you on the island and leaves. Speak
to the Sailor and off you go.
-OUTSIDE-
Head north to cross a bridge over to the next mini island, there's a Rocket Grunt
waiting on the other end.
-CAVE-
-1F-
The Grunt you'll find here was unlucky enough to face Silver earlier hasn't
recovered from that xD. Make your way to the ladder on the southwest side.
-B1F-
Silver took care of the next Grunt too and has made his way to the southwest area
where he is face to face with his old man, with Mewtwo standing behind him. When
you get there, the battle between father and son has ended. Giovanni is impressed
by how much stronger Silver has become, but this time he will use Mewtwo. After
Team Rocket tried several times to tame it, and failed, so they decided to lock it
down here. Giovanni had planned to create a new Pokemon that would obey him if he
had caught Mew, but since that plan failed he came here to try again and tame
Mewtwo. Even after using a Master Ball to catch it, Giovanni can't use Mewtwo
outside of this cave. No chance of taking over the world now but he is pretty
confident about his chances with Mewtwo fighting for him. One final round against
Giovanni, here we go.

Boss Giovanni
- Lv70 Mewtwo [Psychic] {Pressure}
Prize: P1680
**BATTLE NOTES:
- Giovanni has 4 Full Restores.
Silver gets through to Giovanni and makes him realise that he can't continue trying
to lead Team Rocket. At first it seems like Giovanni is finally going to call it
quits but he doubles down on not giving up, vowing to return someday with Team
Rocket. As far as Silver is concerned, Giovanni won't learn and that's what keeps
him from growing stronger. After the two of them leave, you can step up to face
Mewtwo.
=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x
>>LEGENDARY BATTLE<<
x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=
All the Mythical and Legendary Pokemon available in this version have now been
caught, nice. Return to Kanto and get yourself ready for the finale. Mt. Silver
awaits!
-OUTSIDE AREA-
Go east to find the PokeCenter and then the entrance to Mt. Silver, where you'll
find Silver standing there. Silver outside Mt. Silver...makes sense, I guess :)
previously this is where you found Gary after being absent for quite a while, it
was so odd. Silver says he's here to see an old friend who has been training and is
enjoying this place. At first I thought he was going move from this to wanting one
more battle to "test you" before you can climb the mountain to meet the old friend,
but no final battle against Silver. He ends this meeting by saying if you're ready
to challenge his old friend, step right in.
-INTERIOR-
-AREA 1-
All the way up in the northwest section is a Max Elixir and then the entrance to
Area 2 is on the northeast side.
-AREA 2-
Head to the north side. At the top of the northeast waterfall is one Calcium.
Previously you would've found Gary by the north entrance, coming off of losing to
Silver's old friend after your battle outside. I thought that was a nice touch. Go
through to reach the summit.
-SUMMIT-
Silver's old friend turns out to be Ethan :) surprise, surprise. Former Champion
Ethan perhaps? He didn't talk previously but now he does, blaming the cold weather
for making him unresponsive. He makes a reference to Red, having faced him here in
the past, but now Ethan doesn't know where Red has gone to train and says he won't
be back anytime soon, so Ethan will be training here instead. The final (major)
battle of the game, good luck!

Even after going through Trainer House, no Red still. No Lance either :S so once
you are done with the rematches that's the end of the game and with that, it's time
to wrap up this walkthrough with the final section.
That was Pokemon (Old) White for you, what did you think? Good? Bad? Somewhere in
the middle? The previous versions left a lot to be desired, with the story pretty
much ending in Johto after you faced Giovanni on the roof of Tin Tower. After that
you were just free to travel through the rest of Johto then Kanto to collect badges
before taking on the League and battling Ethan on Mt. Silver. This version
continues the story and added in some extra Mythical and Legendary Pokemon for
players to catch, that was great. No glaring bugs and glitches like in previous
versions, except for the invisible items which made the Itemfinder useless. A lot
of NPCs just have the same dialogue as those from the original Gen 2 games, when
they could've been talking about what's going on in this game instead. Also the
game is still missing important features such as Physical/Special split, reusable
TMs, deletable HMs and the Fairy-type. I think that would've made up for the
absence of Pokemon beyond Gen 3 and other modern features and mechanics. But since
those features are absent, I imagine that not a lot of players will give this game
a try because of how outdated it is. But if you don't mind that and just want to
play something before diving into one of the modern titles like Pokemon Unbound or
the recently released Pokemon Crown then (Old) White is worth a look.

HOUSE OF SOUNDS: This is the first of 3 music set series that I've been making
since June 2019. In this series I play house tunes from my collection which I've
had since my high school days. Mainly South African house music but there's room
for international jams too. Old and new. If you're a fellow fan who loves to move
and groove or just bop your head in time with the beats, I hope you'll check out
this series :)
COUNTING ELECTRIC SHEEP: The second music set series, started just after House of
Sounds. This one features anime and video game music. Opening themes, ending
themes, songs from official soundtracks etc. If you like games, anime and manga as
much as I do then this might be the series for you.
Counting Electric Sheep playlist:
https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/i6bd07JBmxd1/
TUNING FOR TOONS: My third series, started in October 2020. This one will cater
more to those of my generation (people born in the mid 1980s up to the mid 1990s),
it features themes from classic cartoons that were a highlight of our much younger
days. I've also thrown in parody commercials from the Grand Theft Auto games and
shows like Sheep in the Big City. I recommend listening to each set without looking
at the tracklist until the end :) test yourself and find out how many themes you
can still recognise (and maybe still sing along to!)
A ROOM FULL OF TICKING CLOCKS: A series of DJ sets featuring covers, mashups and
remixes of my favourite Coldplay songs from their main studio albums (and maybe
their Extended Plays as well).
https://archive.org/details/a-room-full-of-ticking-clocks-01
COMICBOOK CHRONICLES: This is an audio series that began in August of 2021 which is
dedicated to reviewing comic books. Each episode will cover a volume/album of a
comic book series or title. Currently I am reviewing two major comic book series:
Asterix and The Adventures of Tintin, and episodes are usually released monthly
(one month is for Asterix, the next month is for Tintin and so on) until I catch up
and then pick up another comic book series or title. If this sounds like an audio
series for you, give it a try :)

POKEMON - THE JOURNEY OF JANICE: This was an idea I had in early 2019 which I had
hoped to turn into a story for a ROMhack someday. I shared the idea around to see
if anyone would be interested in teaming up with me to create the game. Months went
by, there were people who liked the idea but I didn't hear from anyone who actually
wanted to work with me. So I decided to spin out a story from the idea and post it
chapter by chapter in the FanFiction section at the PokeCommunity site. That
version of the story is a rework of the original form, which looks one of my
walkthroughs :) I'll put a link to that original below if you're interested in
seeing it. For the current version of the story (which is a soft reboot of the
first rework), Chapters 1 to 7 are only available in audio form. From Chapter 8
onwards the story will continue in text form only.
Thanks for using this walkthrough, I hope it helped and entertained you as well.
Please look forward to the next one, and the one after that and so on :) take care.
