Starting out

When you first enter the game, you can either start a new game or load saved data. When you start a new game, the dear Professor Oak we all know and love will be in front of you. He will then prompt you to pick a starter. You can pick any of the starter pokemon from each region, and the arrows will allow you view other regions.

After picking a pokemon, you will battle Gary, who isn't hard to defeat. He will choose a pokemon from the first generation - Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle - that counters the type of your pokemon.

Professor Oak will then request you to go Viridian City's Pokemart to deliver his parcel to him. You are currently in Pallet Town. Head to Route 1 to begin your journey! For more info on the next step of your journey, click this.
