'''''Pallet Town might seem like any other humble hamlet, but someday the whole world will know that this was where you began your quest to become the greatest Pokémon trainer ever! The famous Professor Oak, known for his Pokémon studies, also lives in Pallet Town.  He'll give you your very first Pokémon. That's one down, 149 more Pokémon to go!'''''
Welcome to the world of Pokémon! Pallet Town is the humble beginning of your adventure. You will be welcomed by the famous Professor Oak and meet your very first Pokémon. After an introduction, you'll head off into your journey throughout the region of Kanto, in order to become the best Pokémon Trainer ever! Let the adventure begin!

==Humble beginnings==

[[File:Pokemon FRLG Pallet Town.png|thumb|400px|center|Pallet Town]]
This is where it all begins, Pallet Town, home to you and your mom, your rival and his sister, and the Pallet Town Pokémon Research Lab. The head of this research lab is none other than the world renowned Professor Oak, who happens to be your rival's grandfather. But don't worry, he doesn't play favorites. In fact, he will give you first choice in Pokémon when the time comes.
{{sidebar|width=300px|title=Computers...|contents=Get used to using the computer, you'll need it often, although the one you have in your room isn't fully-featured.}}
You start in your bedroom. Withdraw the '''Potion''' from your computer just in case your rival puts up a good fight. Downstairs, if your Pokémon later get tired, Mom will heal 'em, for free. After exploring your house, step out to explore town.


This day may start out like any other, but this is a special day for you. This is the day that you get to embark on your own Pokémon adventure. You'll travel the world, see lots of interesting places, and meet lots of interesting people. But most of all, you will set out to become one of the greatest Pokémon trainers the world has ever known. After saying good morning to your mom, you step out the door to find the one man who can start you on your journey: Professor Oak.{{-}}
Pallet Town is home to you and your mom, your rival and his sister Daisy, and the Pokémon Research Laboratory. Its head is the world renowned Professor Oak, known for his Pokémon studies, who also happens to be your rival's grandfather. But don't worry, he doesn't play favorites.


==Choose your Pokémon==
You may look inside Professor Oak's Laboratory, but he's away at first. He seems to have left town. In the moment that you set foot outside of town to search him, someone calls to you and warns you not to go. It's him, Professor Oak! After assembling together with your rival, Professor Oak offers you the choice of three Pokémon from which you will take your very first.
{{sidebar|width=200px|title=Choices, choices|contents=Bulbasaur is a good choice for beginners. Squirtle is a good choice for intermediate players.  Charmander is generally considered a choice for experts, because he will have a tough time against the first two gym leaders.}}
You start off your task by looking in the obvious place: the research lab. But oddly enough, he isn't there. So you check your rivals home, but you only find his sister. Professor Oak seems to have left town. Maybe you should head out in search of him.  But the moment that you set one foot outside of town, someone calls to you and warns you not to go. It's Professor Oak!


Professor Oak brings you back to the lab and, after assembling together with your rival, offers you the choice of three Pokémon from which you will select your very first. Choose carefully: Not only will the Pokémon you pick be your strongest ally for the next few hours, it will also determine which Pokémon your rival picks as well.{{-}}
==Choosing your Starter Pokémon==
{{sidebar|width=300px|title=Only one available|contents=You can only take one of the three starter Pokémon. The other two won't be available in your game at all. Get used to this staple of the Pokémon games. It will keep happening with other choices later on.}}
Different players have different opinions regarding the choice. The important part is that none of the options is a bad one or a worse one than the other. Your choice determines the choice of your rival, who chooses a contrasting Pokémon, as well as which Legendary Beast Pokémon is released at the end of the game.


==Your rival awaits...==
You may choose one of the three Pokémon based on your taste, as they were designed precisely to cover different tastes that player's may have. Charmander may be considered more appropriate for advanced players given that it will struggle with the first two Gym leaders. However, all three Pokémon are perfectly viable for the entire game, so you are free to choose any one of them.
[[File:Pokemon Portrait Blue.png|left|thumb|Blue, your Rival]]
{{sidebar|width=150px|title=Blue's house|contents=Your lifelong rival, Blue, isn't home, but his sister is. Blue carries a grudge against you, but his sister thinks you're OK. If you stop by a little later, she'll give you a useful item, no matter what Blue says.}}
With your first Pokémon in hand, and an eagerness to start your journey, you head for the exit. But before you can leave, your rival decides that he wants to test his mettle against you and challenges you to a duel which you can not refuse.


You'll have a tough match ahead of you, since your rival has shrewdly chosen the Pokémon that has an advantage over yours.  Fortunately, your rival isn't much of a fighter, and wastes time with defensive techniques like Growl and Tail Whip instead of just choosing the attacks and going for the quick K.O. If you start to run low on health, feel free to use that Potion you picked up from your room; you can get a free one to replace it soon.
==Meeting your obnoxious rival==
With your first Pokémon in hand, you head for the exit, but your rival decides that he wants to test his mettle against you and challenges you to a duel which you cannot refuse.


If you lose, though, no big deal: All you miss out on is your rival's [[File:Pokebuck.png]]80 and a free level up, but you'll get plenty of opportunities for a rematch. Once the fight is complete, you're ready to leave town and travel along [[../Route 1|Route #1]].{{-}}
{{sidebar|width=300px|title=Daisy|contents=Daisy plays an important role at the end of the game, as she will deal with your Pokémon's Friendship level, used in some bonus evolution lines.}}
[[File:Pokemon Portrait Blue.png|left|thumb|Your Rival]]
It can be a bit of a tricky match, since your rival chooses the Pokémon that has an advantage over yours. Fortunately, your rival won't always make the best choices, giving you the upper hand. If, by chance, you start to run low on hit points, you may use that Potion withdrawn from the computer, given that this battle cannot be repeated, although not using healing items during battle is a way of playing adopted by many players who prefer a more wholesome challenge, as the game isn't too difficult, despite a close-call first encounter. Losing the match isn't too bad: all you miss out on is your rival's [[File:Pokebuck.png]]80 and a free level up. Once the battle is over, you're ready to leave town and travel along [[../Route 1/]].


==Items==
Your lifelong rival downplays you and carries a grudge against you, but his sister Daisy is nice and thinks you're OK. Stop by their home just North of the Laboratory and next to yours when you later return to Pallet Town in order to obtain a '''Town Map''' for the region from her.

Welcome to the world of Pokémon! Pallet Town is the humble beginning of your adventure. You will be welcomed by the famous Professor Oak and meet your very first Pokémon. After an introduction, you'll head off into your journey throughout the region of Kanto, in order to become the best Pokémon Trainer ever! Let the adventure begin!

Humble beginnings[edit]

Pallet Town
Computers...
Get used to using the computer, you'll need it often, although the one you have in your room isn't fully-featured.

You start in your bedroom. Withdraw the Potion from your computer just in case your rival puts up a good fight. Downstairs, if your Pokémon later get tired, Mom will heal 'em, for free. After exploring your house, step out to explore town.

Pallet Town is home to you and your mom, your rival and his sister Daisy, and the Pokémon Research Laboratory. Its head is the world renowned Professor Oak, known for his Pokémon studies, who also happens to be your rival's grandfather. But don't worry, he doesn't play favorites.

You may look inside Professor Oak's Laboratory, but he's away at first. He seems to have left town. In the moment that you set foot outside of town to search him, someone calls to you and warns you not to go. It's him, Professor Oak! After assembling together with your rival, Professor Oak offers you the choice of three Pokémon from which you will take your very first.

Choosing your Starter Pokémon[edit]

Only one available
You can only take one of the three starter Pokémon. The other two won't be available in your game at all. Get used to this staple of the Pokémon games. It will keep happening with other choices later on.

Different players have different opinions regarding the choice. The important part is that none of the options is a bad one or a worse one than the other. Your choice determines the choice of your rival, who chooses a contrasting Pokémon, as well as which Legendary Beast Pokémon is released at the end of the game.

You may choose one of the three Pokémon based on your taste, as they were designed precisely to cover different tastes that player's may have. Charmander may be considered more appropriate for advanced players given that it will struggle with the first two Gym leaders. However, all three Pokémon are perfectly viable for the entire game, so you are free to choose any one of them.

Meeting your obnoxious rival[edit]

With your first Pokémon in hand, you head for the exit, but your rival decides that he wants to test his mettle against you and challenges you to a duel which you cannot refuse.

Daisy
Daisy plays an important role at the end of the game, as she will deal with your Pokémon's Friendship level, used in some bonus evolution lines.
Your Rival

It can be a bit of a tricky match, since your rival chooses the Pokémon that has an advantage over yours. Fortunately, your rival won't always make the best choices, giving you the upper hand. If, by chance, you start to run low on hit points, you may use that Potion withdrawn from the computer, given that this battle cannot be repeated, although not using healing items during battle is a way of playing adopted by many players who prefer a more wholesome challenge, as the game isn't too difficult, despite a close-call first encounter. Losing the match isn't too bad: all you miss out on is your rival's Pokebuck.png80 and a free level up. Once the battle is over, you're ready to leave town and travel along Route 1.

Your lifelong rival downplays you and carries a grudge against you, but his sister Daisy is nice and thinks you're OK. Stop by their home just North of the Laboratory and next to yours when you later return to Pallet Town in order to obtain a Town Map for the region from her.
