The house in the southeast is the home of Professor Elm along with his wife and son. If you talk to the woman in the southwest house, she will tell you that Pikachu is an evolved Pokémon. While this wasn't true in the first generation games, there is now a new Pokémon 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 building in the northwest is the laboratory of Professor Elm. | ||

{{bp|Professor Elm}}, busy with his studies, wants you to find an old colleague of his. He asks you to visit [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Mr. Pokémon's House|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. | {{bp|Professor Elm}}, busy with his studies, wants you to find an old colleague of his.

| [[File:Pokemon 152Chikorita.png|left]]Like {{bp|Bulbasaur}} before it, {{bp|Chikorita}} is a Grass-type that is strong against Rock, Ground, and Water-types, and is weak against Fire, Bug, Poison, and Flying types. Chikorita learns the powerful {{bp|Razor Leaf}} attack at level 8, making it a very strong Pokémon in the early game. But the problem is that Chikorita doesn't learn any other powerful moves until very high levels. And being Grass-type, it has a lot more Pokémon of its type that you can catch. Chikorita learns Reflect at level 12 which is very useful combined with its high defense. She also learns Poison Powder and synthesis that will be useful. Body Slam and Solar Beam learned at high levels must be maintained. | | [[File:Pokemon 152Chikorita.png|left]]Like {{bp|Bulbasaur}} before it, {{bp|Chikorita}} is a Grass-type that is strong against Rock, Ground, and Water-types, and is weak against Fire, Bug, Poison, and Flying types.

| [[File:Pokemon 155Cyndaquil.png|right]]Charmander's successor is also a Fire-type, and it is strong when fighting against Ice, Grass, or Bug-types and is weak when fighting against Water, Rock, or Ground types. While Chikorita excels in Defense, {{bp|Cyndaquil}} is the quickest and has the best Special Attack score. It's Fire moves are a little weak in the early game, though, so it's hard to take advantage of its strengths at the beginning of the game. Cyndaquil learns Ember at level 12, and only learns another fire-type move at level 27. Even with a minimal moveset, Cyndaquil is still a good Pokémon and the most recommended starter. His weakness of water-type moves can be negated when Cyndaquil reaches its final form, if you teach it | | [[File:Pokemon 155Cyndaquil.png|right]]Charmander's successor is also a Fire-type, and it is strong when fighting against Ice, Grass, or Bug-types and is weak when fighting against Water, Rock, or Ground types.
