Pokémon Gold and Silver/New Bark Town

'Your hometown of New Bark Town may be small, but it's packed with places, people and items that are extremely important to you. Your adventure begins with an errand that your neighbor, Professor Elm, asks you to run for him. He gives you a wonderful gift for helping him!'

The beginning
After being left in his room for Professor Oak, you take control of a boy or girl (Crystal). Explore the room if you want, there is a PC, which unfortunately does not contain a potion, a radio, a TV, a bookshelf, a table, a desk, and a bed. Now go downstairs to talk to his mother.

Set up your PokéGear
When you head downstairs, Mom will present you with a PokéGear, the very first item you receive which your mother says is back from the repair shop. The PokéGear is a multi-functional device that initially acts as a phone. With it, you can call important people like your mother or your neighbor, Professor Elm. Your mother will explain how to use the device, and she'll also help you set the day of the week. After she's done helping you, your mother will send you to Professor Elm's lab, but not before giving you her phone number, so you can call her any time you'd like. As you progress, you can gain Cards that expand the PokéGear's abilities. Now you are ready to face the challenges of the Pokémon world! Leave home to meet his new city: New Bark Town!

Exploring the town
The town itself is small, with only four buildings. The house in the southeast, is the home of Professor Elm. There lives his wife and son. The house southwest, there is a woman. Talk to her to receive important information. She will tell you that Pikachu is an evolved Pokémon. If you played the first generation of games should know that Pikachu is not an evolved Pokemon. There must be a new Pokemon that evolves into Pikachu. If you try to leave town, a woman appears and does not let you leave. You need to have a Pokémon before leaving. The construction in the northwestern city is the laboratory of Professor Elm. Before entering, you might want to talk to the red-haired boy on the outside. It's a shame that it gives you a kick.

The laboratory
, busy with his studies, wants you to find an old colleague of his. He asks you to visit Mr. Pokémon in Route 30 to pick up an interesting item. It's a tough journey, but Professor Elm will provide you with a Pokémon of your choice (see the profiles below) for protection. He offers you one of his Pokémon—Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile—to keep you company on your journey. These three starters can be found nowhere else in the game. Also note that each one will be holding a Berry.

When your Pokémon gets wounded, you can heal it here in Professor Elm's lab. As you leave, you will be given a Potion to use whenever your Pokémon gets into trouble.
