Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 12-13

You've liberated Saffron City from Team Rocket's mad scheme, and you could probably use a bit of a holiday. We hear the fishing is good down south of Lavender Town, so grab your Good Rod and get set to drown a few worms. You ought to pack the Poké Flute, too. You won't be able to avoid Pokémon duels completely on this trip, but things will be far less hectic. Route 13 is more like a maze than a highway, but it is a pleasant place to walk and enjoy the great outdoors.

Sleeping Beauty

You'll need to use your Poké Flute to wake the Snorlax blocking the path here, but stop at that first building and get TM 39 first. It contains Swift, a good attack that virtually always hits (even if they're using Dig or Fly). The Poké Flute has the power to wake a sleeping Pokémon, in or out of battle. Pipe a sweet tune to rouse this Snorlax from its rather inconvenient resting place. It won't be very happy about the wake-up call and when it attacks, you can try to capture it. This is the only other Snorlax in the game, so if you didn't catch the one in Route 16, here's another opportunity. With the way clear, you can continue south to Route 13, but first head a bit west of where the Snorlax once rested and examine the bottom-right tree jutting onto the path: you'll find a Hyper Potion. After that, get the Super Rod in the second building on route 12.

Route 13

Route 13

TM 16 (the Pay Day skill) and the hidden PP Up are to the left of of the trainer in the bottom left corner on Route 13. There's also a hidden Calcium on the other side of Trainer A -- both items can be found on spots where the southern fence is missing. Save that PP Up for one of the power skills: Thunder, Blizzard or Fire Blast.

New Pokémon

#72 Tentacool

Tentacool mixes Water with Poison-types, and learns a variety of good attacks in both (and has a high enough Special to make good use of them). Built-in Poison attack Acid does damage while lowering Defense, which is nice, but Poison-types still aren't stellar.

#98 Krabby

Krabby is a fairly good Water Pokémon, and you can have fun beating things instantly (30% of the time) with his Guillotine technique. But Krabby's real selling point is that he can learn Cut, Surf and Strength HM's, allowing you to have them all without using more than one slot on your bench.

#118 Goldeen

Now that you have the Super Rod, you'll be able to fish for more Water-type Pokémon than you know what to do with. So you might wish to ignore the less-interesting ones like Goldeen. Evolved form Seaking is fairly tough, but with nothing but a handful of ordinary Normal attacks, it's not that intriguing.

#116 Horsea

Horsea's evolved form Seadra is a solid fighter, and learns a good variety of Water-type attacks. But you probably won't want more than one or two Water-types on your bench, and there's a variety of better options. Wartortle, Cloyster and Gyarados top the list.
