These pages follow the remade Game Boy Advance iteration, not Pokémon Red and Blue. The guide for those games can be found here.
Route 1
Route 1 is a peaceful, country road that leads north from Pallet Town to Viridian City. The path is riddled with patches of tall grass and one-way ledges that make northward travel difficult. It is not yet possible to catch any of the wild Pokémon here, but it is still good to battle them to earn valuable Experience Points.

Free Sample
Speak to the man on the south side of the route, near the signpost. He works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City and gives you a Potion as a free sample.
Viridian City
Viridian City is a small, nature-loving city that is enveloped in green year-round. It is located between Route 1 to the south, Route 2 to the north, and Route 22 to the west.
Pokémon Center
The first building you will see is the Pokémon Center. This Pokémon hospital will heal your team to full health and eliminate any status ailments they may have. Each facility also has a PC for Trainers to use, where they can access their Pokémon storage and item storage. As Trainers may only carry six Pokémon with them at once, any others are immediately transferred to storage upon capture. It is a good idea to heal up and save your progress whenever you find a Pokémon Center.
Poké Mart
Another shop sits to the northeast of the Pokémon Center. This is the local Poké Mart; these stores offer a variety of Poké Balls, Potions, and other items. It is a good idea to stock up on supplies whenever possible, as there is no telling what you may run into on your journey.

Special Delivery
When you step inside, the shopkeeper recognizes you as someone from Pallet Town and calls you over to the counter. It seems that Professor Oak had ordered something that was recently delivered. The shopkeeper hands Oak's Parcel to you and asks that you take it to him. The man is adamant, so you will not be able to make any purchases until the delivery is made.
Pokémon Academy
The Pokémon academy in the city's center teaches inexperienced Trainers about the basics of battle. A blackboard in the front of the room describes the five status ailments that can affect a Pokémon.
| Ailment | Effect(s) | |
|---|---|---|
| BRN | Burn | Attack drops to 50%; inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn |
| FRZ | Freeze | Cannot move until thawed |
| PAR | Paralysis | Speed drops to 25%; cannot attack 1/4 of the time |
| PSN | Poison | Inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn; loses 1 HP for every five steps taken outside of battle |
| SLP | Sleep | Cannot move for one to six turns |
