EMERALD EDITION
===============================================================================
5.1 From the Lab to Rustboro
============================
Objecitves:
-----------
- Learn the controls of the game
- Get your first Pokemon & PokeDex
- Meet your rival, father and Wally
- Meet Team Aqua
- Travel through Petalburg Woods
- Gain your first Hoenn Badge
Things not covered:
-------------------
- How to gain the alternate Wallpapers in Rustboro
To start with, you've probably turned on your Gameboy Advance (or DS if your
being "cool") and have skipped through the extremely cool introduction with
Rayquaza showing off his stuff and random Pokemon running along. You've started
your new game and are looking at Professor Birch, looking at what he is saying.
He'll ask you to if you want to be a ================TOP TIP=================
female or a male. Choose what you | If in Japanese, press the top
right |
want, it doesn't matter that much | button twice to gett English letters |
Once that all important decision has |Its now easier to tell when people are|
been made, he'll ask you to enter | talking about you |
your name. Enter what you wish to ========================================
call your character.
You'll then be minimsed, and sent into the Pokemon world... and WOW, your in
a moving truck
=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
When theres light at the right of the screen, the truck has stopped moving and
now your able to move. Step out of the truck and your mother will usher you
inside.
If you've played Pokemon games before, then you should be comfortable with how
you sort out Pokemon and how to move through the menu's. If not, I would
consult my guide about controls. It will also tell you what your objectives
are in the Pokemon world.
Look around and you'll see Vigroth moving furniture into your new house. Your
mother will send you upstairs to set your clock. Later on in the game when you
get doll's, your able to arrange them in here.
Setting up your clock should be quite ================TOP TIP=================
easy. Just turn the hands until it | Go to the PC and your able to get a |
shows the correct time in the real | potion off the computer! This will |
world. Time isn't used a lot in the | come in useful |
game, but is still something ========================================
important.
Your mother will come up, and talk to you now. Go downstairs and she'll usher
you to the TV to see your father on it. It seems your father is famous for
some reason... guess we'll find out later though.
If you chose to be Brendan, then your house will be on the left. If you chose
to be may, it will be on the right. Once out of your house, go to the one that
you didn't come from.
Go upstairs past their parent (Isn't it Birch's wife?) and then upstairs
You won't find anyone up here, but press A at the PokeBall. This will
get your rivals attention and they will come rushing upstairs.
After some words, she'll tell you to go find her father on Route 101. Head
out of the house and North to find this route.
(beforehand, a small boy would have stopped you leaving Littleroot).
===========
|Route 101|
===========
You'll see Professor Birch being chased by a Zigzagoon... (it was a Poochyena
in Ruby and Saphire). He'll ask you to get a PokeBall from his bag, thus
allowing you to choose Pokemon...
Torchic (Fire)
- evolves into a powerful Fire/Fighting type
- good at competitive battling
- Not so hot against first few gyms
Mudkip (Water)
- evolves into a relitively powerful Water/Ground type
- competent at competitive battling (Mixed Sweeper)
- good HM slave
- Great against first Gym
Treecho (Grass)
- evolves into an extremely powerful Grass type
- incredible at competitive battling (Special Sweeper)
- Great against first gym
Personally I go with Treecko. I just think he's cooler, and learns Leaf Blade
when he evolves. He may not be a dual type like the others, but that can be a
hinderance. You can check out your choices in the PokeDex if you want to know
more about them.
When you've made your choice, you'll be thrown into a battle with the level 2
Zigzagoon. The battle is easy, just use the only attacking move your monsters
have (Pound for Treecko, Scratch for Torchic, Tackle for Mudkip). Zigzagoon
won't take long to defeat, and when you have killed him you'll be taken back
to Birch's lab.
=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
In Birch's lab, he will ask you to go find his child (May/Brendan depending
upon if your a boy or a girl). He tells you she's on Route 103. Before you
leave he will give you the Pokemon you used to defeat the Zigzagoon. Wow, what
a nice guy!
You can give him a nickname now if you wish.
================TOP TIP=============== ==============TOP TIP===============

|just go and see your mother. It only| | name your Pokemon in English. |
| works until you reach Oldale | | This will help when people refer |
====================================== | to it |
====================================
Now leave Littleroot by going North.
===========
|Route 101|
===========
Your first route. You'll notice many things here that you'll see around the
game. The grass that you travel through has wild Pokemon in. The box here
============================== will tell you which Pokemon appear in the route
Pokemon |Level| % |Rarity | however, at the moment you can't catch any of
============================== them. If you want to know how to catch Pokemon,
Wurmple |2 - 3|50% |V.Comman| consult the area in my guide that tells you how.
Zigzagoon|2 - 3|45% |V.Comman|
Poochyena|2 - 3|5% |Rare | Battle a few Pokemon while making your way up
============================== this route. Theres nothing to do except make
your way to Oldale. You should have gained a level by the time you enter the
next town.
=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Upon entering the town, you will see two buildings that you should get to know.
One is the Pokemon Centre. In here you will find two things - a PC for storing
=================== Pokemon and a nurse who will heal your Pokemon for you.
Item |Cost| Some centres have items that people give you, but this one
=================== does not.
Potion |300 |
Antidote |100 | The other is the PokeMart (blue roof). This sells many
Paralyz Heal |200 | items that are useful in the Pokemon world. Upon entering
Awakening |250 | the town, talk to the man on your right. He will escort you
=================== to the PokeMart and give you a free Potion (and these are
always useful). Once done here, move North to Route 103.
================TOP TIP=============== ===========
|You can purchase PokeBalls here once| |Route 103|
| Birch has given you some for 200 C | ===========
====================================== You should be competent at battling now
and Treecko and Mudkip should have learnt new moves (Absorb and Mud Slap).
Mud Slap will be useful for the impending battle, while Absorb can be used to
take energy away from the enemy and give it to you. Focus Energy on Torchic
is definately not useful sadly. But your two potions should be enough to get
you through the battle.
============================= Work your way through the grass, battling for
Pokemon |Level| % |Rarity | more experiance if you think you need it. This
============================= isn't the best place for training, so carry on
Poochyena|2 - 4|60%|V.Comman| through the grass until you get to your rival,
Wingull |2 - 4|20%|Comman | at the top of Route 103 (if you need to see where
Zigzagoon|3 - 4|20%|Comman | he/she is look at my Place Reference Guide. S/he
============================= will tell you about the Pokemon on Route 103, and
will then challenge you to a battle.
The Pokemon s/he has depends on what Pokemon you chose. May/Brendan ALWAYS
chooses the one strongest against yours.
(Gender doesn't matter for these battles)
If you chose:
Torchic... Mudkip... Treecko...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Once May/Brendan has been defeated, head over the ledges on Route 103 if you
don't want to battle wild Pokemon. I would reccomend this if your Pokemon are
weak.
=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Head south through this town and talk to your rival at the end. They're heading
back to Littleroot, as you should do as well. I would heal your Pokemon though
if needs be.
===========
|Route 101|
===========
Head south over the ledges. No need to go into the grass.
=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
Head straight for the lab at the south of the town. Head into the lab and talk
with the Professor and their daughter. They'll say that they think you deserve
to keep your Pokemon, and hand you a PokeDex! Not to mention five PokeBalls to
go with it!
If you want to know the controls for the PokeDex, check my controls guide near
the start of the faq. When your heading out of town, your mum will stop you and
give you an exceptionally useful item - the Running Shoes! You don't have to
equip these, just hold B and you can move twice as fast.
The PokeBall's can be used on these early Pokemon you've seen around, but you
don't have to be too bothered as they appear in Route 102 and other routes
before Rustboro.
===========
|Route 101|
===========
Head north through here. Battle the Pokemon for xp, but its not great xp so
don't spend too long here.
=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Heal your Pokemon if needs be. If you look West, you'll see that the man there
before has been moved. you can now move onto Petalburg.
===========
|Route 103|
===========
=========================== This isn't an overly long route, but you do get
Pokemon |Level| % |Rarity| your first taste of trainer battles. Be careful
=========================== against them as trainers are usually more powerful
Poochyena|3 - 4|30%|Comman| than wild Pokemon in the area.
Wurmple |3 - 4|30%|Comman|
Zigzagoon|3 - 4|15%|Rare | If your a Torchic trainer I would suggest getting
Lotad |3 - 4|20%|Comman| either a Lotad (Water/Grass) or Seedot here. A Ralts
Ralts | 4 |4% |V.Rare| is helpful for either team as well, as it grows into
Seedot | 3 |1% |V.Rare| a powerful Psychic Type not unlike Alakazam. Lotad
==========================| and Seedot come in handy for the first Gym, although
I think Lotad is better because of its origional dual type and the fact it
grows into an aswome Pokemon.
The Trainer battles aren't to difficult, the only thing =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
to watch out for being the Tallow for Treecko trainers |Youngster |
though it wouldn't cause any major problems. |Poochyena Lv5 |
|80 C |
Luckily at these Levels the two =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------------
Wurmple's can't Poison you, which |Youngster |BugCatcher |
is why I didn't advise you to buy |Zigzagoon Lv4; Tallow |Wurmple Lv4 (x2) |
any Antidotes. |Lv3 |64 C |
|48 C | |
You'll notice some soil at the =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
top of the map with what looks like trees in. These are 'Berrys', not unlike
the ones that were in Gold and Silver. Consult the ItemDex if you wish to see
their battle properties. The BerryDex if you wish to know more about them (Eg
PokemonBlocks - but thats very far away at the moment).
Finally towards the end of the Route is yet another Potion. Take this if your
health is low, but I doubt it will be as you have other potions (and you
should) have your second Pokemon. Now, carry on West into Petalburg!
It doesn't really matter about levels at this stage, I will tell you about
