Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 2

There are many trees along Route 2—if you want to see everything the route has to offer, you'd better bring a Pokémon that knows Cut with you.

Once you've awoken the Snorlax and passed through, you'll find yourself in the area where your quest began in Red/Blue/Yellow. All that's left to do is defeat the final three Kanto Gym Leaders, and then head off in search of one final legendary trainer.

Catch a Pikachu (or two)
Like most of the areas in West Kanto, the Pokémon here are very low level, and the Pikachu top out at level 4. So you'll need to grab a Pokémon with False Swipe from your PC in (or use lots of Level Balls) if you want a  or anything else here. Pikachu appear fairly infrequently, so you'll need to put some time into catching one. If you don't have a Pokémon with False Swipe, use low level Pokémon so you don't risk knocking it out.

Get a free Nugget
The recluse in the house south of Diglett's Cave is so happy to get visitors that he'll give you a 5000 Nugget just for dropping by. Item hunters should use the Item Finder to carefully scour the maze of bushes in the west.
