'''''You are about to begin the StrategyWiki walkthrough for Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, from the first step of your journey in Pallet Town to the final battle that will prove once and for all who is the world's greatest Pokémon trainer.  Pokémon is a deep and complicated game, and each page is packed with as much useful information as possible. Before you begin, please take a few minutes to read through this section.'''''
When you start the game, Dr. Oak will show up and talk to you about Pokémon. He then asks you your name. The first option will be RED or BLUE depending on your version, or you can change it to your preference. He'll next introduce your childhood rival, whose name he has forgotten. You will again be given the option of selecting a preset name, or providing a custom name for your rival. The first option will be the opposite of the version you're playing: BLUE on Red Version, and RED on Blue Version.


''Because of the sheer amount of information included on each page, special attention has been paid to the layout of the tables and images in this guide.

You will start your journey in [[../Pallet Town/]] to prove you are the world's greatest Pokémon trainer.  


== Local Maps ==
==Walkthrough pages==
You will find a map of each area of the game in that area's section.  In the cases where they are too wide, they have been shrunk to allow room for other useful information.  If a map has been shrunk and there's not enough detail for you to make something out, click on the map for an expanded view.
Pokémon is a deep and complicated game, and each page is packed with as much useful information as possible.


== Pokémon Profiles ==
The probability of running into certain Pokémon varies wildly from area to area and version to version. The percentages listed on each page suggest how likely each Pokémon is going to be to get in each version. They are organized by version (Red, Blue, and/or Yellow) and area.
As new Pokémon become available, you'll find little profiles on them.  These profiles aren't designed to give you background on the Pokémon or anything, just to give you an evaluation of whether they're worth using, and maybe some tips on how to use them correctly.  Bear in mind that you may find certain Pokémon to be more useful than what the profiles say, so don't take them as an authority, but as a suggestion.


Pokémon that are only available in Blue (such as {{bp|Meowth}}) have <span style="color:#4000ff;">'''blue'''</span> borders, Red-only Pokémon have <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> borders, and Pokémon that only Yellow players can get at the point shown have <span style="color:#ffd700">'''yellow'''</span> borders. If they appear in both Red and Blue, the border will be in <span style="color:#8000ff">'''purple'''</span>.  If they appear in both Red and Yellow, the border will be in <span style="color:#ffac00;">'''orange'''</span>.  If they appear in both Blue and Yellow, the border will be in <span style="color:#008000;">'''green'''</span>.  If they appear in all three versions, the border is <span style="color:#c080ff">'''lavender'''</span>.
Similarly, you'll run into a variety of trainers and bosses as you progress through the various routes and dungeons. They will challenge you whenever you cross their line of vision. To help you determine whether it's a fight you can win, or even a fight worth fighting, each trainer's name, Pokémon, and the amount of money they hold is listed in a table in each section.


== Newly Available Pokémon ==
As new Pokémon become available, you'll find little profiles on each. These profiles aren't designed to give you background on the Pokémon, just to give you an evaluation of whether they're worth using, and maybe some tips on how to use them correctly. As there are many ways to progress through the game, certain Pokémon may be more or less useful than what the profiles suggest, so experimenting is recommended.
Somewhere towards the top of each section, you'll find a table that illustrates which new Pokémon you'll be able to acquire in that area. These tables only list Pokémon when it's your best opportunity to get them in each version, and only list each Pokémon once.  If you catch all of the Pokémon shown in these tables, at the end of the game you'll have every single Pokémon that's possible to catch, trade for, buy or earn in your version of the game.  The one exception is evolved forms, which aren't listed, since it's usually easiest to get those by leveling up your Pokémon from their base forms.


== Trainer Data ==
{{Footer Nav|game=Pokémon Red and Blue|prevpage=Controls|nextpage=Pallet Town|customnext=[[../Walkthrough summary/]]}}
As you progress through the various routes and dungeons, you'll run into a variety of trainers and bosses who will challenge you whenever you cross their line of vision.  To help you determine whether it's a fight you can win, or even a fight worth fighting, each trainer's name, Pokémon, and the amount of money they hold is listed either to the side or below each map.  The Pokémon that exist in every version are in <span style="color:#c080ff;">'''lavender'''</span>, the ones that are only in Blue/Red are in <span style="color:#8000FF">'''purple'''</span>, and the ones that are only in Yellow are, of course, <span style="color:#ffd700">'''yellow'''</span>.
 
== Pokémon Finder ==
The probability of running into certain Pokémon varies wildly from area to area and version to version.  The percentages listed here roughly reflect how much work each Pokémon is going to be to get in each version.  (The color of the border around the number indicates which version of the game is being represented.  They always appear in the order: Red, Blue, Yellow.)
 
If the name of the Pokémon is in blue instead of red, that means the numbers reflect the odds of running into Pokémon while you're using Surf to walk on water.
 
==Guide content order==
The guide leads readers through the game in as linear a fashion as possible. Gym battles occur at:
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Pewter City|Pewter City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Vermilion City|Vermilion City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Celadon City|Celadon City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Saffron City|Saffron City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Fuchsia City|Fuchsia City]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar Island]]
#[[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian City Gym|Viridian City]]

Walkthrough pages[edit]

Pokémon is a deep and complicated game, and each page is packed with as much useful information as possible.

The probability of running into certain Pokémon varies wildly from area to area and version to version. The percentages listed on each page suggest how likely each Pokémon is going to be to get in each version. They are organized by version (Red, Blue, and/or Yellow) and area.

Similarly, you'll run into a variety of trainers and bosses as you progress through the various routes and dungeons. They will challenge you whenever you cross their line of vision. To help you determine whether it's a fight you can win, or even a fight worth fighting, each trainer's name, Pokémon, and the amount of money they hold is listed in a table in each section.

As new Pokémon become available, you'll find little profiles on each. These profiles aren't designed to give you background on the Pokémon, just to give you an evaluation of whether they're worth using, and maybe some tips on how to use them correctly. As there are many ways to progress through the game, certain Pokémon may be more or less useful than what the profiles suggest, so experimenting is recommended.
