Hint: Pokemon Contest: In Pokemon Contest houses, you may enter your Pokemon into a contest for a chance to win a medal. However if you enter without any Porok level ups, you will have a very low chance of winning. The way to raise this is to go out and find the trees with berries on them, then press A. You will then receive 1 to 4 berries. If you now go to a Pokemon House, you will see small gray machines on the right. The empty one on the top is for multi-player. For now, find a house in a city that only has a man at the bottom. Go to the other side of the machine and press A. You will then be asked to pick a Porok (berry) and throw it in. The spinner will come down and start moving. The objective is to press A just when the spinner hits your arrow: Circle Within A Circle: Direct hit (much faster) Circle: Near hit (slightly faster) X: Miss (slower: The faster you (and your opponent) get the spinner moving, the better. Once the meter at the top hits the end, it is over and the results and the fastest RPM the spinner was moving will appear. You will then receive a Blended Porok. The level of it depends on how fast you got the machine going. The average appears to be 11. Next, open your Special Items Pocket and go to your "Pez dispenser" type item (which you must have to play the game -- it is obtained from the girl in the first contest house). You will then pick a Blended Porok and feed it to a pet, making one of his Pokemon Contest stats (viewable in the Poke-Navi) go up. Some can even raise multiple stats. The more you do this, the better chance you have of winning. Information in this section was contributed by Ketay. Hint: Recommended starting Pokemon: The best type of starting Pokemon (in order) are: Water, Grass, and Fire. Information in this section was contributed by Omar Field-Rahman. Hint: Gym tactics: First, try using Kyamome or a Water/Grass starter. Then, try Water/Fire starter Grass at level 20 to 25. Finally, try Sandshrew with lots of Ground attack. Information in this section was contributed by Omar Field-Rahman. Hint: Poke-Navi: This is a useful item with multiple functions. Information in this section was contributed by Ketay. Map: This will display a map of Houen. You can move the pointer with the D-pad and can also press A to zoom in. Poke-Info: This will display information about your Pokemon stats. These may show how much of a chance your Pokemon has of winning a Pokemon Contest. These can be raised with Poroks (the berries). Trainer-Dex: This will show information on all of the trainers you have fought. Hint: HM list: Information in this section was contributed by Ketay. HM 01 (Cut): Cuts down small bushes.

Updates | \_______________________/ ___________ / \________________________________________________________________ |First of all I made a top logo for the walkthrough. I think it's better \ |than the previous ASCII art. I also rewrote the porok guide and renamed | |it to the Pokemon Contest / Porok guide. It contains a lot more info than | |it previously did. I also wrote a gym guide which explains how to solve | |each of gym puzzles. I also started a complete pokemon list, which shows | |the japanese names of all the pokemon (I only have a few at the moment | |though. I am now also composing a complete world map using ASCII which | |will show where everything is. Remember that if you have anything to | |contirbute, please send it to ketay@attbi.com (Specifically the pokemon | |names). Thanks, and enjoy the walkthrough. | \____________________________________________________________________________/ ___________ / \________________________________________________________________ |I have added many updates. I added some more ASCII art at the top, I added \ |a couple tips that were submitted, and I made a list of all the towns and | |what they contain.

Ja ne! ^^; | \____________________________________________________________________________/ ___________ / \_______________________________________________________________ |I have completely the walkthrough through the game but some \ |parts are very vague. If you have any info on those parts please send it | |in.

Info | \_______________________/ 1. Game Info: Welcome to my walkthrough for Pokemon Sapphire (Japanese Version). I will try my best to bring you all the info needed to beat the game and go beyond! 2. Controls: Okay, I have to admit that I havn't found out the controls that much but here is what I have: Up Arrow - Move up. Move the selection arrow up. Down Arrow - Move Down. Move the selection arrow down. Right Arrow - Move Right. Left Arrow - Move Left. (A) - Confirmation. Selects things. Use this to search for hidden items, to interact with object, and to talk with people. (B) - Cancel. Gets you out of menus. Start - Brings Up Start Menu Select - Brings Up Pokedex Options / Uses Item You Have Selected With Select |L| + |R| - Can be changed in the option menu to serve as Left and Right while selecting pokemon, and looking at stats (not while walking though). - [ L + R Submitted By TCW ] If you have any info, please send it to me (email at bottom). 3. Release Dates: Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby were released in Japan on November 21st. The scheduled release date for America is March 17th. *Sighs*. Soooo long! 4. Menu: Well the simplest translation for the menu at the beginning is (If you already started a new guy): CONTINUE NEW GAME OPTIONS Im 90% sure that's the way it is. The options is really confusion though so I'm yet to play around with it. ^^; 5. Start Menu: This is the start menu AFTER you recieve a pokemon and pokedex, etc etc. DEX Pkmn Bag Navi Trainer Save Option End 6. Poke-Navi: This is a useful little item with multiple things to do. Here is what they are: 1. Map - This will show you a map of Houen. You can move the curser with the arrows and can also press (A) to zoom in. 2. Poke-Info - This will show you info about your pokemon stats. I think these are the stats that shows how much of a chance your pokemon has of winning a pokemon contest. These can be raised with Poroks (the berries) I believe. 3. Trainer-Dex - Here it will show you info on all of the trainers you have fought. A very useful gadget. 4. Exit - Takes you back to the menu. 7. HM's: Here are a list of the HM's and their effect (that I know of at the moment). HM 01. - Cut - Cuts down small bushes. - Gotten inside the house left of the pokemon center in Kanazumi City. HM 02. - Fly - Can fly to cities - In The Town With THe 6th Gym HM 03. - Surf - Can Swim - The House Left Of The 4th Gym HM 04. - Strength - Allows You To Push Some Rocks - Fuen - Town With 4th Gym HM 05. - Flash - Lights Up Dark Areas - The Cave On The Island With The Second Badge HM 06. - Rock Smash - Smashes Some Rocks - The House Left Of The 3rd Gym HM 07. - Waterfall - Allows You To Climb Waterfalls - Get In The Cave With The Legendary Pokemon In Rune HM 08. - Dive - Allows You To Submerge Under The Ocean - Tokusane City - After Beating 7th Gym _______________________ / \ | III. Walkthrough | \_______________________/ a. - Starting Out When you start you will see the opening screen. You can watch it or skip past it by pressing START. Then it will say a few messages (Uhh... Right...) and then it will show some boxes. Since this is going to be a new game pick the top one. Then it will show a professor and he will talk for awhile. Then it will give you a menu with a boy at the right and two options on the left. The top option is to pick male and the bottom option is female. I would pick the girl becuase she looks better but I'm a guy so I choose the guy. Then you can name yourself. The top option is NEW NAME and the other ones are preset names. If you do not know any japanese then don't pick the first. But if you choose new name then you will be given a katakana chart. Pressing select will change it to a Hiragana chart (which is what I use to name myself Kiitei or Takeshi). Also if you press select once more you will come upon the normal alphabet. Then it will give you a HAI (yes) / IIE (no) menu. Click the top one (hai). Remember that yes is always on the top and no on the bottom. The professor will say a few last words and then you're adventure will begin! You will start out in a moving truck. Once it comes to a stop walk out the door on the right. Then your mom will talk a bit. Then you will go inside and see some machoke helping you move in! Convenient. The first thing you HAVE to do is to go up to your room on the second floor and talk to the clock. Then you will set the time. After that your are all set! b. - Save The Professor! Now walk out of your house and you will find yourself in your hometown, Mishiro Town. First walk to the house to the right of yours and go inside. This is your rival's house. As you walk in her mom (or his) will talk to you. Now go upstairs and see your rival reading (or writing) a book. Talk to her (or him, but im just going to refer to them as a her from now on), and they will leave. Now go out. You can now exit the village to the north. Walk past the kid (who would stop you before if you tried leaving without talking to your rival) and up. Oh no! The professor is being chased by a doglike pokemon. Run to his backpack and "talk" to it. This is where you choose your first pokemon. I choose Mudkip (The water one). Now you will enter a battle with the dog pokemon. Just use the first move (which is tackle for mudkip) twice (may take three times) and you should win. Now you will be taken back to the lab by the professor. He will then thank you and reward you by letting you keep the pokemon you chose from his backpack. Then it asks you if you would like to give them a nickname (again the hai / iie menu). He will talk again and ask you a question, just answer yes. Then it's time to leave. Walk down and out of the lab, and then north out of the village again. c. - A Rivaling Rivalry! This time as you walk out you will see some grass (which is different from than in the other games). If you walk around in it you may encounter some wild pokemon. At this point they are very simple. A few hits should do it. Very soon you will encounter another small village named Kotoki Town. This one has a pokemon center and a pokemart. It also contains two other houses which you may explore. After healing your pokemon continue travelling up (Left is blocked at the moment). As you go up you will find some stronger pokemon. I suggest staying at the beginning of this route and leveling up at least to 7 or 8. Then heal your pokemon again and continue upward until you encounter your rival. Talk to her and prepare the battle. This battle may be quite a bit more difficult but is still very simple. Just use growl (or your second attack, whatever that may be), and then keep attacking with your first attack. Becuase they shouldn't have more than one elemental skill, the other pokemon won't have much of an advantage. After winning she will run down. Time to travel ALL THE WAY back to the lab. Then talk to the professor and recieve your pokedex. This will show you a lot of info about the pokemon you see and catch. Now you will recieve 5 pokeballs. The best thing to do right now is to go all the way up and catch 1 or 2 level 3 or 4 pokemon. Then train them a bit before continuing on. d. - First Gym Battle Route 102 is the next place on your list. Go to the second village place you passed a few times with the pokecenter, and take a left. You will follow route 102 along for awhile. On this route is 3 or 4 trainers to fight. It's a great way to level up. The pokemon are still really easy (My level 4 racoon dude beat a trainers level 5 one). Once you take a turn up you will run into 2 very wierd looking trees. These each contain a berry/food. Ones orange and one is blue. I dont have the info on them yet but I'll try to get that done soon. Very soon you will end up in the town containing a gym, which you will need 4 badges to face, named Touka City. You can walk (or run) around exploring this place a bit. If you go to the left side of it there is a boy looking into the water. If you stand by the water there you can see your reflection. Now once you enter the gym, talk to the guy. He will talk and then another man will run in and take you out and show you how to catch pokemon. Then you will come back and you won't be able to do anything more wiht this gym at the moment. Go out and go the the left. You will end up at a beach. Now go north into Touka Forest. If you go left you will fight a bug catcher with 6 really weak catapillar pokemon. Next go all the way right and out of the forest through that exit and grab the pokeball. Then go back in, and go to where you fought the bug catcher. Now go north of there and take a right (after grabbing the second pokeball). Now go right and you will run into a man. Another man (from team aqua) will come down and the first one will hide before you. Then you'll go into battle with a weak level 9 dog pokemon. Beat him and the team aqua member will run off and the first man will give you something. Continue along the path and you'll run into another bug catcher with a level 8 pokemon. Beat him and then grab the pokeball just above him. Then go out of the north exit and onto the trail. Take a right and fight the two trainers there. Then go up the bridge and keep going and you will end up in a new city, Kanazumi. Now is a good time to heal (those trainer battles do take a lot out of you). Now you can visit the first gym. The first two trainers just have geodudes which are easy to beat with a water pokemon like Mudkip. Then just go and fight the gym trainer. She uses a lvl 11 geodude, and a level 15 rock guy with a beak. Watch out for the beaked one becuase it can recover itself multiple times. After defeating them you will have defeated your first gym leader! You'll get a whopping 1500 gold and your first badge, a rocklike badge with two arrow. Great job! Next, on to the second! e. - Save The Bird Now after you walk out of the gym, walk to your left and you'll see a team aqua member run by, and then the man you saved from Touka forest. Follow them and then man will talk to you. Go to the right and you'll get into a grassy area with a few trainers. You should take a little while and level up your pokemon (have at least two semi strong pokemon by now). Now enter the cave on the very right of this route and it will be very foggy. Just go up (you can grab the pokeball) and fight the member of team aqua. They will then run off and the old guy will come and claim his bird pokemon. Now go out back to Kanazumi town and talk to that one guy again. He will then take you to a building and give you your Poke-Navi! :D It will be the selection on your start menu below the bag option. To see what each of the things do check up in the info section under Poke-Navi. The man will also give you a superball. Now go into the house that is left of the pokecenter and talk to the man. He will give you HM 01 - Cut! Now use it on a pokemon. :) Now go up back to the entrance of the cave and use it on the little short tree. Then you'll be able to fight the two trainers there, get an item, and get 10 more poroks (3 on each of the orange trees, and 2 on each of the bigger ones). Now its time to head toward the second gym! Now remember the beach we passed right before the forest? Go there and into the house. Talk to the old man chasing his bird and answer Yes to the question. He will then take you on a boat trip to the island with the second gym, Muro! Just heal your pokemon and head into the gym. This may be a challenge becuase it is completely dark except for the light around you. Go up and to the right and you will fight a trainer. After beating them the light around you will grow bigger. This will help a lot. Now head up and then to the left all the way. You will end up fighting another trainer like before. Now go up further and to the left onec again to fight a third trainer. This one is a bit harder becuase she has 3 level 12 pokemon. If you have a pokemon at least level 18 you should be fine. A great strategy for this gym is to bring a high level flying pokemon or psychic pokemon. Now head to the right to face the gym leader. He's quite a bit harder and has a level 17 machop and a level 18 different fighting pokemon. If you've trained enough you should be fine. You will recieve your second badge and TM08 (Not sure the effect at the moment). But you have no completed 1/4 of the gyms! Good job! f. - Kaima The first thing to do after the gym is to go north and then to the left and into a cave. Talk to the guy and you'll recieve HM 05, FLASH! Now you will need a pokemon to teach flash to. After teaching it to one continue down the cave and go down the ladder. Then it will be dark so you should use flash here. This cave is almost as easy without flash though. Just follow the trails and the ladders and you will soon end up in a room with a man in it. He will give you tow items and then leave. Now just leave the cave the way you came and go back to the boat man. Talk to him and there will now be 3 choices. Choose the middle one now. You will end up at a beach with some trainers on it. I suggest fighting them to level up. If you continue up enough you will soon find yourself in the city of Kaina. Find the building that is blocked by the team aqua members and then go into the building right below it. Talk to the man behind the desk and then leave. Now go into the formerly blocked building and go upstairs. Talk to the man at the computer and you'll be challenged by two team aqua members. Beat them both and then another one will come in and yell/talk to you. Then they'll all leave and then man at the computer will give you and item and then leave himself. Thats all for this town. g. - Return of the Rival Now go north of the town and immediately turn left. Here is a patch of grass that you should level up in becuase soon you'll be fighting pokemon that will confused, poison, and paralyze you a lot. There are also two different versions of a certain pokemon which seems to be pichu. One is blue and is negatively charged and the other is red and is positively charged. The blue seems to be a lot rarer though. After this go up and take a left. You will encounter your second two on two battle with the twins (If you talked to them the first time on the bridge). One will use the red pichu, and the other the blue pichu. I suggest a ground type attack on them such as Mudkip's mud one. After this continue left and you'll fight a few more trainers. Once you are done go to the right all then up to encounter your rival. This time she has THREE pokemon! Against me she had: A level 18 whale type pokemon, a level 20 grass type pokemon (The evelotion of her beginning pokemon), and her third was a level 18 camel like pokemon. After beating her then continue along the path and you'll end up in Kinsetsu city. You can walk around and talk to people, heal your pokemon, or buy some things at the pokemart. But the most important part of this city is the bike shop near the upper right corner. Talk to the man on the left in there and he will give you a bike. It will go into the big pocket in your backpack and if you select it and press the upper right option, you can then press select at any time when you are outside and hope on or off of it. h. - Electrifying Electricity Now you are ready to fight the third gym. This gym is an electric gym so if you want to have a great advantage, go back into the cave you passed with the geodudes and catch and few and train them up. Just watch out if you started with mudkip and havn't been training your pokemon, becuase the gym leader here beat me twice before I smashed him up with my graveller. When you enter there will be an electric ray blocking part of the way. The best way to go through this is to fight a trainer, step on the S bolt, and then fight another and repeat. Each of those button changes the lightning rays a bit. After you get to the top the old man gym leader will be waiting. He has a magnamite (not hard), a voltorb (easy, but watch out for self destruct) and a magnaton (this is what gave me so much trouble). After beating him go into the house directly left of the gym. Talk to the man and he will give you HM 06 - Rock Smash. When taught to a pokemon, this allows them to smash the cracked rocks. Now start going north and weave throught the trees and hills. Soon you will reach 2 rocks blocking your path. Just bust out your newly learned rock smash (I suggest teaching it to a geodude so you can also teach him strength later on so you can get 2 HM's on the same pokemon). Now continue north. After a bit you will rock some sand and if you try to go up you will be stopped by the sandstorm. Instead, take a left and continue along (Note that all the way here and a bit further contain a few trainers so keeping healed is a good idea). Now this is the part that everyone screws up on. Once you reach a hill and go right you will find Team Aqua blocking your way. INSTEAD, go to the left and into the cave. This is a very simple cave, just find the exit and you will find yourself in Hajitsuge town soon. This is a town with almost nothing to do, so I just suggest healing your pokemon at the P.C. and maybe buying a few potions or super balls at the Mart. Now leave the town and cross a bridge. Now you will have to walk around a bit and find your way to a cave (there is a semi strong trainer on the way). Enter the cave and walk down the trail a bit and you will see a scientist. Talk to him and team Aqua/Magma will talk to you and then leave quickly. Talk to the scientist again and then leave. Also you should go back to the cave where you saved the man's seagull pokemon and grab the TM there. It also opens up a path with Rock Smash that allows quick travel between far away cities (That normally require a boat ride). i. - Hot Spring Heaven Now head back up to the path blocked by the two team Aqua/Magma members. Now you can enter that building. Talk to the lady to get on the cable car and you will end up on a mountain. As soon as you step out you will notice the members of team Aqua and team Magma fighting. Just pass all of them and make your way to the top. You will then fight two team aqua/magma members and then the leader. After you are done talk to the glowing thing to get an item (I believe it is the thing that allows you to fight Kyogre/Groudon later on?). Now head down and all the way to the bottom where there is a path to Fuen Town. Go to one of the houses on the west side of town and get HM 04 (strength) from someone. Then enter the gym. This gym contains small springs that when you hop into them you will end up in another. Watch out for some trainers that pop out of some when you try to enter. Just watch where you have to end up (near the middle) and soon you will find the gym leader. This is quite an easy gym battle and is based on fire (with some normal type thrown in here and there). Now you have half of your badges! Now to quickly get the next badge go back into Touka City (the one with the first gym which you couldn't get anywhere in) and you will see two doors. Just pick a door and you'll end up in a room with the trainer. Beat the trainer the the two things in the back will spin around showing doors. Pick another one and repeat what you just did. Soon you will end up in a room with no doors in the back. This is the gym leader. He uses sloth pokemon (Normal Type), so almost any type can easily wipe him out (although fighting are especially helpful. Now leave the gym and enter the house left of this gym. You will once again get an HM (Surf). Teach it to your favorite water pokemon and prepare for your first surfing! Now head to Kinsetsu city (the one with the bike shop and the electric gym) and go to the very right of the city. Use surf at the water (Just press (A) while facing the water and click the top option) and swim across to the other side. There will be a few trainers here who give some good experience. Now continue on. j. - Return of the Team Follow the trail going north and you'll soon end up at a large building with a bridge to the right. At the moment the bridge is blocked by Team Aqua/Magma members so enter the building. If you need healing just go into the room on the very left of the building and talk to the bed. Now go to the right and beat the few Team members and head upstairs. Beat the few team members up here and their leader again. All of these battle should be quite easy due to you have been levelling up (right)? Now head out of the building *healing first if you need to* and go to the right across the bridge that was previously blocked. Now you will be in Hiwamaki city. This is a treehouse city so just climb a ladder and go to the right. If you try going to the gym there will be an infisible force of great power (=D) blocking you. Just go away and over to the right. Then head out and go down and across the large bridge. There will be a man here so talk to him and he will tell you about how it was Kecleon blocking your way into the gym. Then he will turn and a Kecleon will appear. You will then fight him (level 30, very easy) and then the man will give you something that allows you to get rid of kekleon when you encounter them. Now head back to the gym and talk to the invisible force of great power and it will turn into a kekleon and hop off. Now enter the gym and you will find there are a few puzzles in this gym. It's very easy and the gym specializes in Flying Pokemon so you should bring along an electric type. Zap the living daylights out of the birds and then you'll have your 6th badge! k. - You can Fly! Now exit the gym and search the few buildings here and you will find HM 02 - Fly in one of them from someone. Teach it to a flying pokemon (I suggest the seagull pokemon) and you can now fly to cities you have visited (although you may need to have been to a pokecenter in it first). Now go back to the bridge where you talked to the old man and continue along the path. You will end up fighting your Rival along the way and she will give you a pokemon that changes form with the weather. Now continue along and you will see two A/M Team Members run by you quickly. Now you will end up at the safari zone which you can enter now. The first thing you should do though is go down and surf to the middle and find a place to enter. Make your way to the top floor and then fall down the holes and then go out the exit on the left. Make you way to the top of the hill and fight the Team Aqua/Magma members and then talk to the people up there. Now fly back to Kaina City (the one with the ocean museum) and head north (up). Soon you will reach a building with a large crowd around it. Talk to the man blocking the door and they will leave. Now enter and you will end up not fighting the leader of Team Aqua in here this time. Now go back to Minamo city (just to the right of the safari zone) and heal your pokemon and get ready for a fight. Go up to the LARGE building at the top of the town (General Store) and talk to your rival outside the door. This is a bit harder becuase they will now have 4 pokemon, but you should be able to handle it. Now go to the beach on the right side and hop on your pokemon a surf to the north a bit and enter a cave. Just run through this place and find the end and fight the member by the submarine. Then the leader will run away in the Submarine so now leave. NOTE: if you follow the right path you will find a patch of 4 pokeballs. Two of them are electrodes, one is an item, and one is the legendary MASTER BALL. Make sure you grab this becuase it will help a lot if you want to catch latios, latias, or use it on the legendary pokemon that Team A/M has under their control (Kyogre - Sapphire / Groudon - Ruby). Now head out of here and back into the water. l. - The Seventh Badge Surf out of their hideout and now go to the right (which was previously blocked) and into Tokusane city. This is a very useless city other than for the gym. Just heal all of your pokemon and head to the gym. This is a gym which requires some sliding. There are a lot of lines of arrows here that will slide you in the direction that they are pointing. But unlike RBY they dont take 400 years to get through one. The point of this gym is to push the buttons that will change 1 arrow in each line. Once you have pressed all 4 buttons you can now follow the red arrowed road to the gym leader. This is a unique battle and is a 2 on 2 battle in which you are going against a Moon Pokemon and a Sun Pokemon. After winning leave and talk to the townsfolk to get HM 08 - DIVE. With it you can dive down into the ocean in the DARK blue spots in the ocean. Now you can head out to Rune, the city with the eighth gym. To enter though you need to dive down and swim through an underwater cave. You cannot do anything here now so just leave it. Now go to Route 128 and dive down to find the final base of Team Aqua/Magma. This cave is a bit harder and has a few puzzles. I will post the direct route to the leader soon. But once you get to the end you will see Groudon or Kyogre (depending on your version). Then the leader of the team will challenge you and after you beat him the pokemon will escape. Now you will be out in the ocean (If you are playing sapphire it will be raining, and im not sure about Ruby), just fly back to Rune. Now go the left side and go up the stairs. You will see two people talking and they will show you to a cave. This is a VERY simple one path cave that is much easier if you have flash. Just run through it (dont worry about the earthquakes) and at the bottom will be the legendary pokemon that escaped. I suggest using your Master Ball here unless you are saving it. But if you do catch it it will be a very strong addition to your party. Now you can go out (MAKE SURE to get HM 07 - Waterfall on your way out) and to the eighth gym. This is one of the easiest gyms if you do it right. When you walk up the first thing of stairs onto the ice you must walk on EVERY tile of ice and end up at the bottom of the ice ramp WITHOUT stepping on any square more than once and the ramp will turn to stairs and you can continue. If you mess up you will fall down and have to face a few trainers. But if you think about it before doing it, it's quite easy. Once you get to the top you will fight a medium strength gym leader with Water Type pokemon. After beating them you will have ALL EIGHT BADGES. m. - The Elite Now head out back to the ocean and surf to the right untill you come upon a GIANT waterfall. Use waterfall and you will be able to climb it, and you will find yourself at a cave with a nearby Pokemon Center. Enter the cave and you'll find yourself in a cave with pokemon and pokemon trainers stronger than any that you have ever faced up to this point. If you need some new strong pokemon, send out the weak pokemon, switch to a strong one and then beat them. If its a really low level you will get a lot of level ups (Such as level 5 all the way to 13 or so in only one battle). I suggest getting at least a few pokemon at level 55+. You may want them a lot higher though. Once you exit this cave you will find yourself at a large building, the pokemon league. Buy a giant amount of revives, full restore, and other items that will help you during your fights. WATCH OUT, the lowest level pokemon here is a level 46! And the level continues all the way up to level 58 so without some good pokemon, you'll get stomped in the first few battles. If you manage to get through the Elite 4 plus the current champion, the professor and your rival will come. There will be some talk and then you will be taken into a room and you and your pokemon will have a place in the Pokemon League history. And Now Watch The Endings Roll. Great Job! After the credits you will be back in your room at your house. Walk downstairs and you will find your mom talking to the 5th gym leader. Then you will reieve a boat ticket and then the man will leave. You can now head back to the large city with the general store and head to the dock. There will be a large boat which you can ride to the island with the battle tower on it. _______________________ / \ | IV. Tips | \_______________________/ Easy Beginning If you want your beginning to be easier then when you get to choosing your pokemon, choose mudkip (Water). Becuase the first gym is rock it will help you out a lot. Also treecko (Grass) is a good choice. Level Up Always take time to level up your pokemon before going on just in case you come across a really strong pokemon trainer. Seagull If you choose to pick Torchick then a really good idea is to catch the seagull pokemon as soon as you can. This allows you to beat the first gym easily and not get clobbered by other water pokemon. - [Contributed By Jackson] Items Always carry around items such as paralyze heal, antidote, and awake sand in case your pokemon gets affected by an attack. Poison is the worst of them and can kill your pokemon when you aren't even in a battle! Potion At the beginning of the game you can withdraw a potion from your PC by going to the second option, then the first, then the top item. - [ Contributed By RTaylor661@aol.com ] Saving Always remember to save before a gym battle or a battle with a legendary pokemon so if you die you can redo it without any penalty. - [ Contributed By Mike101351@aol.com ] _______________________ / \ | V.

Mini-Guides | \_______________________/ /\__________________/\ < 1. Bike Guide > \/\________________/\/ In Pokemon R/S there are two bikes. After the eight gym you can get a faster bike. There isnt much to these bikes but they allows you to reach some please that you normally cant. The moves for the bike are: Ride - Direction Pad Wheelie Ride - B + Direction Pad Hopping - Hold Down B For 5 Second While Not Moving - Then Direction Pad Side Hop - Sideways + Direction Pad (Must Have Exact Timing) Turn Hop - Opposite Direction + B (Hops and turns to face the opposite way) /\__________________________________/\ < 2. Porok/Pokemon Contest Guide > \/\________________________________/\/ The pokemon contest is a great new addition to the new set of games. They allow your pokemon to earn ribbons in a contest. The contest is made up of two different parts. First: Beauty Contest Description: This is a contest of pure beauty. You will be against 3 other trainers which will send out one pokemon each. There will be a small crowd of pokemon which will judge how good looking your pokemon is. The more hearts that appear above their heads, the better the pokemon is. The amount of hearts that you get will contribute to your overall total score. Second: Attack Contest Description: This is a contest of your pokemon's attacks. This is not a small contest like most believe it is, there are many different effects that pertain to different moves. Here are most of the different types of moves: Force: Raises Your Hearts Defense: Lowers Another Pokemon's Hearts Shield: Protects Your Hearts Some moves play a very small role and don't help you much, and others can give you a very high advantage. A few examples are: Reflect: Protects Your Hearts From Being Deleted This Round Hyper Beam: Adds Four Hearts To Yourself, And Removes Four Hearts From The Pokemon Above You. Stunned for one turn, but cannot have hearts removes the next round. There are other moves which have other effects that are very helpful. There are some that removes hearts from every pokemon who has already gone, there are moves that paralyze a pokemon who has not gone. Another strategy in the attack contest is that if you use the right moves in the right order, you will get extre applause, and if you get two '!' in a row from the judge your hearts will double. But if you use the same move twice in a row it will create boredom among the crowd. If you just enter a pokemon into the contest right away you do not have a very high chance of winning. But you can increase your chance greatly by feeding your pokemon something called a Porok. These poroks each have a different flavor that changes a different contest stat on your pokemon. There are 5 different contest stats which go with the different contests that you pick which to enter your pokemon in. You need to go out and find the small berry trees in the dirt. 'Talk' to the tree to recieve 1 - 3 berries of a certain type. Each one has it's own number that shows which one it is. The next step is to go into one of the pokemon contest houses. To the right will be two grey machines. The top one will be completely empty and is used for linking gameboys and playing with a friend. The bottom one will always have a man and will sometimes have some other people at it. Talk to an empty side to start it up. You will then pick one of your poroks to throw in. Then the spinner will come down and after 3 seconds it will start spinning. The point is to press the (A) button when the pointer is pointing at your arrow. Here is the results: | (o) | Cicle In A Circle = Direct Hit - Spinner Spins Much Faster | ( ) | Cicle = Near Miss - Spinner Spins A Little Faster | X | X = Miss - Spinner Spins Slower The winner is the person who gets the most hits and fewest misses. Then you will recieve a blended porok. After blending a porok it will have a level assigned to it. This level is affected by how fast the spinner got going. The better the level, the more it will raise your pokemon's stats. Then go into your backpack and find the pez-dispenser like item. You can then pick a blended porok and feed it to a pokemon of your choice. You can then see it go up and how much it does. Some of them will raise more than one stat at a time. You now have a pokemon with better contest stats and you can check these at any time using the Pokemon Navigator. _______________________ / \ | VII.
