==New Pokémon to catch== | |||
Routes 30 and 31 contain a variety of new Pokémon (especially if you are playing Crystal) so bring many Poké Balls. Bug type Pokemon are plentiful here in all versions. {{bp|Caterpie}} and {{bp|Spinarak}} can be found on Gold while {{bp|Weedle}} and {{bp|Ledyba}} can be found on Silver. Unfortunately, the new families aren't that great, but you can still have some decent utility from {{bp|Butterfree}} (can learn {{bpm|Sleep Powder}} and moves alike) and {{bp|Beedrill}} (has a decent attack stat). {{bp|Bellsprout}} may be weak at the first gym but it's decent and very useful if you didn't choose {{bp|Chikorita}} as your starter. Also, try to catch an extra Bellsprout, not because they're that great, but because they can be used to trade for a very useful {{bp|Onix}} in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Violet City|Violet City]]. Crystal players can get all of the previously mentioned Pokémon, plus three more! {{bp|Gastly}}, {{bp|Zubat}} and {{bp|Poliwag}} can only be found at night and are somewhat rare but worth to catch. They can be found in other places more easily so don't worry if you don't find them here. | |||

When you return to Route #30 after completing your errand, trainers will attack you whenever you make eye contact. As you can see from their rosters below, their Pokémon are weak, but they can wear you down. You can try to avoid them, but it's better to fight when you can: they're the best source of money and EXP in the game. | When you return to Route #30 after completing your errand, trainers will attack you whenever you make eye contact.

One new twist is the ability to trade phone numbers with certain trainers once you've defeated them in battle (they will say phone next to their rewards). If you agree, they'll call you periodically to chat, challenge you to rematches, and most importantly, inform you of Pokémon "swarms." Without that info, it's hard to catch Pokémon like {{bp|Dunsparce}} in the nearby [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Dark Cave|Dark Cave]]. | One new twist is the ability to trade phone numbers with certain trainers once you've defeated them in battle (they will say phone next to their rewards).

After you beat Wade along Route 31, give him your phone number. In Crystal, he'll call from time to time, and if you go visit him immediately afterward, he may give you one of a wide variety of Berries.}} | |||

A little later in the game, a guard in the guard house that separates [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Goldenrod City|Goldenrod City]] and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 35|Route #35]] will send you to deliver a message to the guy in front of the lake, so remember where he is! Finishing this errand is the only way to get '''TM 50''', Nightmare. | A little later in the game, a guard in the guard house that separates [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Goldenrod City|Goldenrod City]] and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 35|Route #35]] will send you to deliver a message to the guy in front of the lake, so remember where he is!
