You start out the game by setting the game's internal clock. After that Oak will explain the world of Pokémon

again and then you will get to choose your name.

Your House

Finally you'll start out in your room, head downstairs to have a talk with your mom. She'll give you your PokéGear. She'll also ask what day it is, and whether or not it is Daylight Savings Time or not. After that she will give you the option of where she'll keep some of your money for you when you win battles. That way, just in case you "white out" (it's not black out anymore for some reason) you'll still have money at your house. Occasionally throughout the game, your mom will use some of the money she keeps to buy things for you which you can thing take out of your Computer anywhere in the game.

Professor Elm's Lab - Choose Your Pokémon
After all that, head outside and go to the large building on the left. Once inside you'll meet the Pokémon Professor of the game. His name is Professor Elm and after a talk, he will let you choose one of three starting Pokémon:

Chikorita the Grass Pokémon
Cyndaquil the Fire Pokémon
Totodile the Water Pokémon

After choosing your starter Pokémon Elm will exchange Phone numbers, and tell you that the machine in the corner heals Pokémon. He'll also tell you to go find his friend, Mr. Pokémon.
Next head outside and start exploring.
About in the middle of Route 29 on Tuesdays, there is a girl named Tuscany that will show up. She has brothers and sisters who will also show up on certain days during the week (Monica of Monday, Wesley of Wednesday, Arthur of Thursday, Frieda of Friday, Santos of Saturday, and Sunny of Sunday). Throughout the Walkthru I will point them out to you. They give you special items that you can attach to your Pokémon that increase a certain attack depending on the item. Tuscany will give you a Pink Bow which increases Normal attacks.

Cherrygrove City
Next you'll want to try to find Mr. Pokémon. You'll pass through a town called Cherrygrove (Yoshino) City to get to him. When you first enter Cherrygrove (Yoshino) City talk to the old man below you. He will show you the town and then give you a Map card for your PokéGear.

Mr. Pokémon & Professor Oak
You'll eventually find Mr. Pokémon's house since one of the paths is blocked by two battling trainers. Mr. Pokémon will introduce himself and then Professor Oak will talk to you and give you a high-tech version of the Pokédex. Oak then leaves to go do his very popular radio show. You'll take a rest, and when you exit the building Elm calls you and tells you to come back to New Bark (Wakaba) Town, something has happened! These plants bear fruit

Your Rival
Someone has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon, and just your luck it's the one that has the advantage over yours. Well, it looks like you just found your new rival.

Back To New Bark Town
Head back and talk with Professor Elm to see what was going on. You'll then name your Rival.
On your way out of the Lab, the Scientist at the bottom will give you 5 Pokéballs.

When you exit the city a guy named Dude will want to show you how to use your new Pokéballs to catch Pokémon.

After battling and capturing some of the new and old Pokémon you'll be ready to take on the local gym leader, Falkner. He uses bird Pokémon and is not difficult to defeat.
Once you beat Falkner he will give you the Zephyr Badge. The Zephyr Badge raises your Pokémon's attack power. It will allow you to use Flash anytime. Falkner also gives you TM31, Mud-Slap.

Togepi - Violet (Kikyou) City PokéCenter
After defeating Falkner, Professor Elm will call you and tell you that they have found out something about he Mysterious Egg you gave to him earlier. A Scientist will show up in the Violet (Kikyou) City PokéCenter. Talk to him and he will give you the Pokémon Egg (you must have one slot open for it in your Pokémon lineup.) 
The Egg will hatch after you walk so many steps and turn into Togepi. There is a man blocking the most southern exit of this town and if you don't get Togepi you can't get through.

There's also a house in Violet that you can trade a Bellsprout for an Onix. The level will depend on what level your Bellsprout is because whenever you trade a Pokémon to a person in the game, their Pokémon will be the same level as yours. 

Sprout Tower
In Violet (Kikyou) City head north to find the Sprout Tower. You'll encounter Sages with Bellsprout and the occasional Hoothoot. At the top your Rival beats the head Sage and runs off after talking to you. Defeat the Sage and he will give you HM05, Flash.

Next you can head west of Violet (Kikyou) City and run into a cave entrance. Inside will be a puzzle that you have to put together.
Once you discover it was Kabuto, the floor will drop out and down you will fall into the cave below. (If nothing happens, you put the puzzle together wrong) Inside are a bunch of Pokémon called Unown. They have no gender, but they do have many different shapes. Don't get confused though, they all have the same Pokédex entry.

To unlock more shapes you will have to surf, strength, break rocks, towards the 3 other entrances to the cave (Like the Kabuto one where there is a puzzle to solve.) You can find them by surfing on the Lower Level of Union Cave. You need Strength to get two of them.

Ho-oh Puzzle

Omanyte Puzzle




"Unown-Dex"

This Scientist will give you the upgrade After you solve all the puzzles go into the cave and catch 3 different Unown shapes.
Exit the cave and a Scientist will upgrade your Pokédex for you. Now after you catch a Annon shape it will be recorded under here and you can take a look to see which ones you have by pressing Select while in the Pokédex and then choosing the last option.

After collecting all 26 Unown, talk to the scientist again and he will let you print out your Unown shapes.


My Collection of 26 Unown Shapes. When looking in this part of the Pokédex you will notice that every Unown make up a different letter of the English Alphabet. And in the box below the picture it has an English word made up of Unown letters. Here are the words found after each letter:

E ENGAGE R REASSURE
F FIND S SEARCH
G GIVE T TELL

J JOIN W WANT
K KEEP X XXXXX
L LAUGH Y YIELD
M MAKE Z ZOOM

Next you'll encounter a lone PokéCenter in Route 32. Inside is a Fishing Guru, talk to him and you'll get yourself an Old Fishing rod.
Continue on and you'll pass through a cave with Trainers and rock Pokémon inside. If you look on Friday nights you can find Lapras deep within the cave if you have Surf.

Click here for a map of Union Cave.




TM 39 - Swift
Inside Union Cave you can find TM 39, Swift. It's on the Lower Level of Union Cave. You don't need Surf, Cut, or any other HM to get to it. 



TM 05 - Roar
After getting Cut later in Ilex Forest, come back and talk to this guy. He'll give you TM 05 just for talking to him. 



Frieda
On Friday, right above the PokéCenter, "Frieda Friday" will appear. All throughout the game are scattered her brothers and sisters, and they will only appear on certain days. They will give you items that you can attach to your Pokémon to make their attacks stronger.
"Slowpoke Town"
After exiting the tunnel you'll find Team Rocket guarding a well and the local Gym. Well it seems that Team Rocket has kidnapped all the Slowpokes from the town.

First you'll need to talk to Kurt in the house right above the Gym. He'll move the Rocket member guarding the well. Next it's your turn to defeat the Rocket members.  Once defeated, the Gym will open and you'll be able to fight Bugsy.




King's Rock - TM 18 (Rain Dance)
Later after you get HM 04, Strength, return to Slowpoke Well and go to the Lower Level. Here you'll find the King's Rock (which will evolve Slowpoke or Poliwhirl when you attach it to them and trade them to another Game Boy.) You can also find TM 18, Rain Dance.




Kurt - Apricorns


After defeating the Rocket members in the well, Kurt will take you back to his house and give you a Lure Ball. Lure Balls are used to catch Pokémon hooked by a Rod (from fishing). He'll also make more special Pokéballs from Apricorns that you can get from plants scattered throughout the Johto region.

For example, the plant behind his house will give you White Apricorns, and they are then made into a Fast Ball. Fast Balls are used to catch fast Pokémon.






Azalea Gym - Hive Badge

Bugsy uses 3 Bug Pokémon. So if you chose Cyndaquil as your starter Pokémon you will really have the advantage, especially against Scyther.

Bugsy will give you the Hive Badge which lets all Pokémon up to level 30 obey you and lets your Pokémon use Cut outside of battle. He also gives you TM49, Fury Cutter.

Togepi

Around this time in Azalea Town, Togepi's egg should hatch. You can head back all the way to New Bark Town and show Professor Elm now. When you do, he'll give you the Everstone, which won't allow a Pokémon to evolve if it is carried by that Pokémon. 
HM01 - Cut
After you leave the previous city you'll enter a forest. You'll see a man standing near a cut-able bush. Talk to him and he'll tell you that his boss's Farfetch'd got away.

After him you will see the Farfetch'd by itself. Chase it around until it reaches the man by the cut-able bush. Talk to the new man and he will give you Cut.

Now Cut that cut-able bush to get passed the only one Blocking your path. A new feature in Gold/Silver is that you can just go up to the bush, press A, and it will get cut down if you have a Pokémon with Cut in your lineup. The same goes for Boulders, and that Tree that will come up later.






TM02 - Headbutt
Inside the Ilex (Ubame) Forest Maze is a guy who will give you TM02, Headbutt. Headbutt lets you shake the little trees that are everywhere in the game, sometimes revealing sleeping Pokémon.

I found an Exeggcute and #190 Aipom, that little monkey with a hand-like appendage on the end of its tail. Beedrill was also found in Silver, Butterfree in Gold. Heracross is also up in the trees, but is very rare.




TM12 - Sweet Scent
After cutting the bush that is right before the shrine dedicated to the Forest's protector (aka Celebi), you'll wind through the Forest path until you come to a connecting gate. Inside is a girl who will give you TM12, Sweet Scent. It will attract Pokémon to you outside of battle.

Once you exit this place, you'll come to Route 34. Amongst the trainers is a Daycare/Breeding Center.

Location
Just below Goldenrod (Kogane) City is a house with an old man and woman inside. Talk to the man and he will take one of your Pokémon to level up and talk to the woman and she will do the same. It will cost 100 bucks to take them out, and 100 bucks per level up.




Breeding Instructions
To breed Pokémon you must give the old man a Male Pokémon and give the old woman a Female Pokémon (or vice-versa) that have the same little icon or sprite. Or they must be compatible at breeding. Check our Pokédex for breeding compatibility.

Then exit the building and go walk around for a little while. Come back when you see the man standing outside with your two Pokémon. Talk to him and answer yes, he will give you an Egg.

If you put in Pokémon of different #'s, for example Pidgey and Hoothoot, the resulting egg will be the same species as the female Pokémon and with an Attack that the Male had. Just think of the strange combinations...




Special Pre-Evolution Pokémon

Put In a Male and Female Jigglypuff.

And get Igglybuff when you hatch the egg!
Note: Jigglypuff can be found outside in the grassy areas of Mt. Moon but is very rare.


Put In a Male and Female Clefairy.

And get Cleffa when you hatch the egg!
Note: Clefairy can be found inside of Mt. Moon but is very rare.

Put in a Male and Female Pikachu.

And get Pichu when you hatch the egg!
Note: Pikachu can be found in the wild grass right above Viridian City.

Put in a Male and Female Magmar.

And get Magby when you hatch the egg!
Note: Magmar can be found inside the tower in Ecruteak (Enjyu) City where you fight your Rival.


Put in a Male and Female Electabuzz.

And get Elekid when you hatch the egg!
Note: Electabuzz can be found in the wild grass outside the Power Plant. Thanks to kapoeraskool for this information.


Put in a Female Jynx and another Pokémon with the same sprite as Jynx.

And get Smoochum when you hatch the egg!
Note: Jynx can be found in the Ice Path. I bred a Jynx and my Kadabra together to get this Smoochum. I've heard that Electabuzz works, I don't know about Magmar though.
Goldenrod (Kogane) City Gym - Plain Badge
Goldenrod (Kogane) City is pretty big. The local PokéMart is like the Celadon Department Store. There's plenty to due, but let's get down to business. It's the Gym Leader's badge you want, isn't it?
All the trainers use Normal Pokémon in the Goldenrod (Kogane) City Gym. Right before Whitney there is a trainer who likes to use Jigglypuff, 3 to be exact. So you might want to stop at the PokéCenter to wake up any Pokémon before taking on Whitney.

Whitney can be challenging. If you caught a Geodude or Onix earlier, now is the time it would come in handy.

Whitney won't give you the Plain Badge at first because she will start crying. Talk to the trainer below her then talk to Whitney again. She'll stop crying and give you the Plain Badge. It will let your Pokémon use Strength outside of battle and it boosts your Pokémon's Speed. She'll also give you TM45, Attract.

Radio
In the radio station at Goldenrod, there is someone at the far end of the counter. She has a five question quiz for you. Answer yes, yes, no, yes, no. You'll get a Radio Card for your PokéGear.
Right to the left of the girl who gave you the quiz is someone who will check to see if your ID is the same as the Lucky Radio Station's. If it is you can win prizes, like a Masterball.

Coin Case / Free Bike
The Game Corner in Goldenrod (Kogane) City requires the coin case like in the previous versions. In Goldenrod are two buildings that have an underground tunnel that connect to each other. There are a few trainers there, but, if you find a PokéBall down there, it'll contain the coin case. Now you can take your case and go gambling.
Also, there's a bike shop in Goldenrod, just talk to the guy and he'll give you a free bike.

Pokémon Salon
Also in the Underground Path is a Pokémon Salon. Depending on the day, you can groom your Pokémon which will make it happy. 

TM 21 or TM 27
In the Goldenrod City Department Store a lady on the 5th floor will give you a TM on Sundays depending on how your Pokémon like you. If they like you she'll give you TM 27, Return. It'll do more damage the more your Pokémon like you. However, if they don't she'll give you TM 21, Frustration. It'll do more damage the more your Pokémon dislike you. 
TM 04 - Rollout
Before the National Park (Route 35), there is a path through the grass you can take to find TM 04, Rollout.




National Park
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the National Park holds a Bug Catching Tournament. To enter you have to talk with one of the guys standing by the doors of either entrance (North of Goldenrod is the first you come to). You can only take one Pokémon with you to battle the wild Bug Pokémon, the rest will be held for you until the contest is over. The contest is free, and you'll get 20 Park Balls to capture the Pokémon. However, if you press Start at anytime, the round will end once you go back to playing.

Sunkern, Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Venonat, Pinsir, and Scyther are the Pokémon that I've seen in there. What's weird is that you can find level 17 Caterpie and Weedle.

Whenever you catch more than one Pokémon in this contest, you'll be asked whether you want to switch it with the first one you caught. If not, your Pokédex will still record that you caught that Pokémon, you just won't get to keep it. You only get to keep one Pokémon from the contest, so all others will mysteriously disappear.

To win the tournament you need to capture a high level Pokémon like Scyther since he is worth a lot of points. The 1st place winner gets the Sun Stone.

Quick Claw
Talk to the girl on the bench inside of the National Park and she'll give you Quick Claw. Quick Claw will usually let the Pokémon carrying it, attack first in battle.

Route 26 - Sudowoodo the Wiggling Tree

After the third Gym there was a house right outside the gym. Inside the girl in red will give you a SquirtBottle to sprinkle on the tree. Sudowoodo doesn't like water, so it'll wake up and fight you. Remember there's only one, so be ready to catch it.

Next head directly to the right and talk to the fat guy that you come in contact with. He'll give you TM08 which is called Rock Smash. This move will allow you to break certain rocks later in the game so don't lose it.

Arthur of Thursday
On Thursdays in this area, right above where the fat guy is, Arthur will show up. He'll give you Hard Stone, which will increase that strength of Rock attacks.

Deliver the Spearow - TM 50

After clearing out Sudowoodo this task will be simple. There's a guy wanting to deliver a Spearow with Mail attached to a guy on Route 31. The guy with the Spearow is in the Route Change gate right after Goldenrod City.

After getting TM 50, you can go back to the guy in the gate, and he'll give you a PP Up.

Bill - Time Capsule
After Sudowoodo you will reach Ecruteak (Enjyu) City. You'll probably want to stop at the local PokéCenter to heal your Pokémon. When you do you'll meet Bill. He'll tell you he just finished fixing his Time Capsule. The Time Capsule will let you transfer Pokémon from older games, (Red, Blue, and Yellow) and transfer them to Gold or Silver. He tells you that you can't have any new moves from Gold and Silver or Pokémon when trying to use the machine. Then he'll leave and go back to Goldenrod City where he'll give you an Eevee if you talk to him again.

After this, you can take on the local gym leader, Morty.

It would have been handy to have a Kadabra by now.




Ecruteak (Enjyu) City Gym - Fog Badge (#4)
There is a ghost floor surface which continually has you falling through, but to get to the other side, you must walk directly forward in front of a gym trainer, then walk directly left/right, but before reaching the edge, walk directly up in front of another trainer.

The Gym Leader uses all Ghost Pokémon so a Psychic like Kadabra or Drowzee will come in handy here.

Morty will give you the Fog Badge for winning. All Pokémon up to level 50 will obey you now and you'll be able to use Surf outside of battle. He will also give you TM 30, Shadow Ball.

HM03 - Surf
Two more things to do here. Inside the town there are five Kimono Girls dancing on the stage. Each Kimono Girl has an Eevee evolution (two new ones, a Psychic one, and a Dark one). If you defeat all five and talk to the man with the hat, he will give you HM03, Surf.


The House
Dancing Kimono Girls
HM03 - Surf



Itemfinder
Inside one of the houses, this guy will give you an Itemfinder.




Burned Tower - Rival / Legendary Beasts

Burned Tower Once you enter the Burned Tower your Rival will fight you. If you have that Kadabra, now is the time to use it.

Once your Rival is defeated and leaves, it'll be time to explore the rest of the tower. I was playing at night, so I fought some Rattata, the occasional Gastly, Koffing, and Magmar!

If you taught TM08 to one of your Pokémon, now it is time to use it. (Remember TM08 is given to you by the fat man that was looking at Sudowoodo - the wiggling tree.)

Fight the trainer and you can fall down the hole in the middle. Go up to the stone statues and they will awaken, then scatter. These are the Three Legendary Beasts,  Raikou (electric type),  Entei (fire type), and  Suicune (water type). You may run into them later on in the game (in the wild), so be prepared.

Next head west to Route 38.

TM 20 - Endure
Inside the Burned Tower you can find TM 20 by breaking the rock on the right side. Then you have fall in the hole in the upper right hand corner. Then move a rock with strength and TM 20, Endure, is yours.

Sick Miltank
Right in the corner of Route 38 and 39 is a Miltank farm. Unfortunately their prize Miltank will not produce milk. If you give it enough Berries it'll get better. There is a plant that gives Berries near the beginning of Route 38. If you talk to the owners after that they'll give you TM13.



Pikachu Madness!
Not much else on Route 39, except a couple trainers with Pikachu.
Gym Leader is Missing
If you check out the local Gym your Rival will tell you that the gym is empty.



HM04 - Strength
Head to the house next to the PokéCenter. Talk to the Sailor on the right and he'll give you HM04. 



Good Rod
Right above the PokéCenter is a house with a Fishing Guru inside. Talk to him and answer yes to his question and you'll get a Good Rod. 



Monica
On Mondays look for Monica in Olivine City. Talk to her and she'll give you Sharp Beak. When attached to a Pokémon it'll raise the power of Flying Attacks. 



Jasmine Needs Medicine
Next head to the Lighthouse that is southeast in the town. Scale to the top battling trainers and you'll find Jasmine. She'll ask that you get some medicine for her sick Pokémon from a pharmacy in Cianwood.

Well, not much else to do, so let's surf to Cianwood City.

This hole will get you to the top
Where is Cianwood?
Cianwood (Taban) City can be reached by surfing from Olivine (Asagi) City. You'll encounter a lot of Tentacool and Tentacruel on the way. Not to mention a few trainers.




Cianwood (Taban) City Gym - Storm Badge (#5)
Heal your Pokémon at the local Center then head off to fight the Gym Leader. To get passed the stones blocking your way, you must press the stones on the ends up using Strength. Then Press the middle stone to the left.
Again, Kadabra comes in handy.

Chuck will give you the Storm Badge for winning. Now Pokémon up to level 70 will obey you and you can use Fly outside of battle. He will also give you TM 01, Dynamicpunch. It will confuse the opponent if it hits.

#213 Shuckle
There's a guy that will give you a Shuckle on Cianwood if you only bring 5 Pokémon with you.
You can also catch wild Shuckle by breaking the rocks on Cianwood. By breaking the rocks there's always a chance a wild Pokémon will fight you.




Photo Studio
There's a man in a house above the Gym that'll take a picture of one of your Pokémon and then print it out on your Game Boy Printer. 



Medicine
Stop by this house to get the medicine Jasmine needs for her sick Pokémon before flying back to Olivine.
Medicine Man
Medicine
After receiving the medicine from the guy in sunglasses on Cianwood, go back to Jasmine at the top of the tower, give her the medicine, and she will go back to her gym. 



Olivine (Asagi) City Gym - Mineral Badge (#6)
Jasmine's two Magnemites shouldn't give you that much trouble, especially if you grabbed a Geodude earlier in the game.

The new steel type Pokémon, Steelix, is five levels higher, but you should still be able to take it out. A Fire Pokémon can easily take all 3 of her Pokémon.

Once you beat Jasmine, the Mineral Badge is yours. It raises your Pokémon's Defense, and she also gives you TM 23, Iron Tail.

Next head back to Ecruteak (Enjyu) City, the one with the Ghost gym leader.

Before entering the city, Sunny will be walking amongst 3 Berry Plants on the right side of Route 37 on Sunday. Talk to Sunny and he will give you Magnet which increases the power of Electric attacks.

Then exit east from the city using the Route Gate and you'll come across Mt. Mortar on Route 42.

Tyrogue

Deep inside Mt. Mortar is a trainer that will give you Tyrogue if you beat him. Make sure you only bring 5 Pokémon with you or he will not give it to you. You also need Waterfall to be able to get to him.  Karate King

You can easily get passed the mountain if you have trouble by surfing in the water outside the Mountain.




Dragon Scale

Deep inside Mt. Mortar there is a item ball containing Dragon Scale. You should be able to get it by following the way to get to Tyrogue. It's at the very top of the map.



TM40 - Defense Curl

Also inside near where the Dragon Scale is, you'll find TM 40, Defense Curl... Not really worth your time if you ask me.



Apricorns
There are a group of three plants that give you Apricorns right outside the middle entrance of Mt. Mortar. You need a Pokemon with Cut with you to get to them. The one on the left gives you a Pink Apricorn, the middle a Green Apricorn, and the right a Yellow Apricorn.
Now head East, and you'll come right to Mahogany Town.

TM 10 - Hidden Power
There's a winding path off to the left of the lake with a lot of bushes that require Cut to get passed. There's a hut at the very top and for your trouble the man inside will give you TM 10, Hidden Power. 



Wesley of Wednesday
Also up near the house where you get TM 10 will be Wesley on Wednesday. Talk to him to get Blackbelt. 



Red Gyarados
The Mahogany (Choju) Town Gym is being blocked by a Team Rocket member so you'll have to find something else to do first.
Head north battling trainers and new Pokémon until you reach a lake with a level 30 Red Gyarados in it. Surf out to the middle and fight it. There's only one, so you better catch it!

After capturing/defeating it, you'll get a Red Scale. You can trade this scale for an Exp.Share from Mr.Pokémon.




Lance
After catching the Red Gyarados you'll see Lance standing by a sign. Talk to him and he will tell you he needs help, Mahogany Town has a secret Rocket Hideout that is broadcasting strange radio signals making the Magikarp in the lake evolve into Gyarados. Answer yes and he'll fly off. Head back to Mahogany Town.



TM 36 - Sludge Bomb
On your way back you can go through a gate house with a Red roof. Watch out! There's Rockets inside. They'll steal your money, so hop over the ledges to get back.
However, later when you get rid of Team Rocket, come back to get TM 36 from the guy inside.

Mahogany (Choju) Town "Store"
If you head to the middle of the town where a guy is selling things, you'll find Lance inside. He'll show you the secret door to Team Rocket's Hideout.
Make sure your Pokémon are strong, a lot of Team Rocket members will fight you in here.




Team Rocket Hideout - Level 1

This map looks peaceful, right? WRONG. Every time you pass one of the Statues, 2 Rocket Grunts will come and fight you. They say that there's a camera in the Statues, and the only way to turn them off is to hit the switch.
The switch is on that lone computer which you can get to after defeating the Scientist in the center.






Team Rocket Hideout - Level 2

Lance will heal your Pokémon when you talk to him on the 2nd level. He'll go ahead of you. Beat the 2 rocket members and go down the stairs.



Team Rocket Hideout - Level 3

Here Lance will talk to you again. He says that to unlock the doors on this level you need to get 2 passwords from the Rocket members. The two members that have the passwords are on this level. The first one is the girl Rocket, facing the computer. Talk to her after you battle her and she'll give you her password. The other is the Rocket near the 2 Pokéballs. After battling him talk to him and he'll give you his password. Follow the stairs until you get to the locked door. Your Rival will come to talk to you but he won't battle.
Unlock the door and fight the Rocket Executive. After he leaves, talk to the Murkrow and it'll give you the final password, "Hail Giovanni." Then head back to the 2nd Floor and unlock the 2nd locked door.








Deactivate the Radio Signal
After unlocking the door, 2 Rocket Executives will come and gang up on you. Luckily Lance comes and battles one of them, while you battle the other. After that is over, Lance tells you that the radio signal needs to be stopped. Since there is no switch, you must battle the Electrode and either catch them, or make them faint.

After defeating the Electrode, Lance will thank you and give you HM06, Whirlpool. Whirlpool lets you get passed rough waters.


Foreshadow?




Mahogany (Choju) Town Gym - Glacier Badge (#7)
Pryce uses Ice Pokémon. If you picked up a Magmar from earlier, he'd be useful right around now. If not, an electric attack will take care of Seel and Dewgong.
After beating Pryce, you'll get the Glacier Badge. This badge will raise your Pokémon's Special and it'll let you use Whirlpool outside of battles. He'll also give you TM16, Icy Wind.

Before heading on, you'll have to backtrack. Professor Elm calls you to tell you Goldenrod (Kogane) City's Radio broadcasts seemed to be talking a lot about Team Rocket. He wants you to head to Goldenrod to check things out.

Head back to Goldenrod (Kogane) City for more Rocket fun.

Team Rocket - Radio Tower


The other floors of the Radio Tower that were not accessible before, now are. Unfortunately these floors are reeking of Rocket.
The first part of this chore is easy enough. Just fight all the Rocket's and make it up to the top. You'll see a locked door on the third floor, but this will be opened later.

Beat the Rocket Executive on the top floor who was impersonating as the Director. He'll give you a key that will unlock the blue door to the Underground Warehouse, which you can reach by going into the Underground Tunnel in Goldenrod City.






Battle with Rival
Hey look, your Rival was following you and now wants to fight. Sneasel is one of those new Dark type Pokémon (Psychic has no effect).  Rival

Evil Puzzle
Next you will have to press switches to open doors and remove walls. To get to the Female Rocket leader you must push the switches in this order: the Left switch (#3), then Middle (#2), then the Right one (#1).



Save The Director


You'll encounter more Rocket Grunts until you finally encounter the Director of the Radio Station. He'll give you a Card Key that'll unlock the 3rd Floor shutter that was locked before in the Radio Station.

Go back to the Radio Station and unlock the door. Beat the rest of the Rockets including the male and female Rocket Executives.






Get the Rainbow or Silver Wing
After defeating the Rocket Executives, the Director will come and thank you. He'll also give you a special Wing (Silver version: Silver Wing, Gold Version: Rainbow Wing). These wings will let you get Ho-oh (Rainbow Wing - Gold) and Lugia (Silver Wing - Silver).




More Free Gifts

Before exiting the Radio Tower, go around and talk with the people pictured. They will give you something for saving the Radio Tower. 



Eevee
Don't forget to stop by this house in Goldenrod (Kogane) City to get your own complimentary Eevee from Bill. Have a slot open for it though or you won't be able to get it.
Next head back to Mahogany (Choju) Town and enter the Ice Path.

Icy Mazes
The Ice Path shouldn't be too hard to get through. If you are stuck, the Map has red arrows that'll tell you where you need to go.
You'll find some new Pokémon in here, a small mammoth like thing called Swinub. There's also a shy bird called Delibird in the Silver version.

HM07 - Waterfall
You can find the last HM, HM07 in the Ice Path. This HM lets you ride up waterfalls.
TM or HM, Be gone!
There is a guy in Blackthorn (Fusube) City that will erase TM's or HM's from your Pokémon. Just talk to him and he will ask which move you want deleted.
This is very useful since the HM's in this game are used more regularly. So having all the required Pokémon at the same time with these moves and having your normal fighting Pokémon is hard to do. So eventually you'll give in and teach one of your good Pokémon an HM. But don't worry you can delete it later!

(Krabby/Kingler can learn Cut, Surf, Strength, and Rock Smash, though)






Santos of Saturday
Hey it's Santos. Santos will give you Spell Tag after talking to him. Spell Tag will increase the power of Ghost attacks. 



Blackthorn (Fusube) City Gym - Rising Badge (#8)
Note: If you can't get into this gym because of a guy blocking it, you have forgotten to beat something earlier in the game, most likely you have not been following this Walkthru and came straight to this page. In that case, click the back button a few times down there at the bottom of the page to see what you missed.

Before battling Clair there will be a small puzzle where you have to push 3 Rocks into holes to make paths over the molten lava below. Not to mention trainers to fight.

But eventually you'll make it to Clair. Her Dragon Pokémon can be taken out with Ice attacks.

After defeating Clair, you won't get a badge. First you must surf behind the gym and enter a cave called the Dragon's Den and get an item called the Dragon Fang.

Dragon's Den - Getting the Badge from Clair


Inside you must surf around. You may encounter a Dratini every once and awhile. You'll have to get passed a whirlpool, so bring along your Pokémon that has HM06 equipped. Once you find the lone Pokéball and pick it up, Clair will come along and give you the Rising Badge. Now all Pokémon will obey you and you'll be able to use Waterfall outside of battle. She'll also give you TM24, Dragonbreath.
Once you exit the Dragon's Den, Professor Elm will tell you he's got something for you. So go back to New Bark (Wakaba) Town and talk to him.

Master Ball
When you get back in New Bark (Wakaba) Town after beating all 8 Gym Leaders in Johto, talk to Elm and he will give you the Master Ball!
Now that you have this, and the Rainbow Wing (Gold) or Silver Wing (Silver) from the Radio Tower Director, you can go catch Ho-oh (Gold) or Lugia (Silver).




Ho-oh - Gold Version

Ho-oh on the rooftop. Ho-oh is really easy to find compared to Lugia. Go back to Ecruteak (Enjyu) City and go into the northern house. Go in all the stairs and you'll eventually come to a large tower. Go inside Tin Tower, and go to the top after the winding mazes and teleport pads and you'll find Ho-oh.
You better save your game before fighting Ho-oh, because like Mewtwo, there is only one. Try getting Ho-oh down to as little HP as possible, and put it to sleep. Ultra Balls should do the trick.

Wild Ho-oh appears!
Click here for a Map to get to Ho-oh




Lugia - Silver Version

Lugia swimming Lugia can be found in Whirl Islands, south of Olivine City. You'll need a Pokémon with Surf, one with Whirlpool, and one with Flash to get to Lugia.
Go to Olivine (Asagi) City and surf south trying to stay as far to the right as you can. There is 4 entrances to the cave where Lugia is so if you follow the wall the first one you come to is the one you need to enter.

Once inside go to the right and choose the top path when it comes to a fork. Now you'll make your way to a waterfall, go down it, then surf up and you should find Lugia swimming in the water.

Lugia is also level 40 and will give you 1257 experience points if you beat him. But DON'T, what are you crazy or something!? Again, low HP, asleep, and ultra balls should do the trick.

Lugia wants to fight!

Pokémon League
Now head back to New Bark (Wakaba) Town and get ready to advance to the Pokémon League.
But first make sure you have a Pokémon with Surf and Waterfall. And heal all your Pokémon in Elm's Lab.

Next it's time to surf east from New Bark (Wakaba) Town.

Map Card


After surfing to the right of Wakaba Town, talk to the fat guy when you reach dry land. He'll give you a new map card expansion that has the map of the original Pokémon World from Red, Blue, & Yellow (Kanto).
Next you'll enter a cave that has a waterfall. Surf up it and then down the other side to get out of the cave.




TM 37 - Sandstorm
Once you exit the cave you'll find a house. Inside an old lady will give you TM 37, Sandstorm, for talking to her.



TM 22 - Solarbeam
On Route 27, you can Surf off the bridge to find this TM. Make sure you bring a Pokémon with Whirlpool along to get it though because there is a whirlpool blocking the path to get to it.



Route 27 and 26
Next you'll surf east some more and encounter more trainers when you reach land. There's new Pokémon to catch and trainers to fight.

Before heading onwards, there is a house with a woman who will heal all your Pokémon for you.

Head north and you'll eventually reach Victory Road.

Almost there...
Eventually you'll make it to the "other half" of Victory Road. This half is much more easier because there are no trainers and no puzzles.
But there are a lot of Pokémon in there that will give you grief if your Pokémon are not leveled high enough. Graveler, Onix, Rhyhorn, Golbat, and Ursaring (Gold) or Dohphan (Silver) are what you will find in here.

Strangely enough, when I was playing and leveling up my Pokémon before I battled the Elite Four, I ran into a shining silver Rhyhorn. It, like all Shiny Pokémon, has a constant DV of 10 for every stat (except for HP which has a DV of 0), making its total stats be somewhat higher than regular Pokémon. Whenever it goes into battle it sparkles like the Red Gyarados, and as you can see in its stats, it has 3 stars next to it's gender like the Red Gyarados.

Click here for a map.

Silver Rhyhorn



TM 26 - Earthquake
Inside Victory Road you can find TM 26, Earthquake. Right near the exit, head to the left and fall down the hole you find to get to it. 



Perfect Place to Level Up
The Pokémon in Victory Road are perfect for leveling up your Pokémon before the Elite Four. The Graveler give you experience points in the 600's, Onix in the 500's, Rhyhorn in the 600's, Golbat in the 700's, and Ursaring/Donphan in the 800's.
The best place to do this is at the end of Victory Road where the exit is because you can go up to Indigo Plateau to heal your Pokémon. But before you reach the end your Rival will battle you one more time.

Now when your Pokémon are about level 50 or so I think it is a good time to take on the Elite Four at the Indigo Plateau.
