1.4 Useful Websites
===================
These are the websites that give useful Pokemon information:

http://www.serebii.net
- a website that covers everything Pokemon! From the trading cards to the games
this is a very useful website. It is best known for its anime information and
hacking abilities of the new games. A very good site all round, and considered
the best by many (but not all). 

http://dynamic3.gamespy.com/~psypoke
- A great website with realms of information on the new and current games. 
Brilliantly organised, they aren't missing a lot. Great anime informatino as 
well. 

http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346
- Most Pokemon fans fall into two groups. Either they love Serebii, or love
Pokefor. You cannot monopalise the internet. Neither is the best site, they 
have good qualities. This has extensive details on the maths of Pokemon, good
for working out the power of moves, calculators. 

http://www.netbattle.net
- One of the two main competative battling simulators on the internet. This one
is better for those who are unfamiliar with the commands to make mIRC work and
in truth the only difference is their authenticity of the battle part they're
trying to emulate.

**if you wish to have your site added to this, or think you know of a site that
has something to offer then send an e-mail with the title "e-mails".

==============================================================
This is the screen that greets you when in battle. Firstly, you should know 
whether its a trainer battle or a wild battle (against another character, or 
a Pokemon your able to catch). The little boxes show things about your Pokemon
and the enemy one.

The first thing is the Pokemon name. You may have given your Pokemon a nickname.
If so, this will be displayed instead of your Pokemon species name. On the
right of this is the Pokemon level. The higher the level the more dangerous the
Pokemon generally. The HP is the life points it has. If your against a computer
character, you want to take this down to zero, the same thing can be said if 
your just training against a wild Pokemon. If your trying to capture it, then
I suggest leaving some before you throw a PokeBall (though this is covered in
much more detail later on). 

If the HP bar is yellow, then the Pokemon has below half its health. If its red,
it has a very small amount. You will hear a danger noise when its this low. 

On the left of the HP sign is where status conditions are shown. Certain moves
hinder a Pokemon by giving it a status condiition (these are explained in 
greater detail later on). Though, I must warn you that not all status 
conditions show up. (Covered in much greater detail later on). 

Finally on the left of this there may be a small black and white circle. If this
appears next to the enemy Pokemon, you have this Pokemon. If not, then it isn't
recorded in your PokeDex (and I reccomend you capture it). 

===============================================================================
4.2.2 Where to find Pokemon
===========================
Pokemon can be found in nearly every location in the game. But just standing
in a spot won't catch you all 386 creatures. 

Grass - the grass on nearly every route holds wild Pokemon. If you look at 
my place references, or as your working through the guide you can find tables
showing you which Pokemon can be found in the grass on which routes. If you HAVE
to walk through grass and don't want to battle wild Pokemon, use HM01 Cut, as 
it cuts down the grass.

Surfing - using HM05 surf you can go across the water. When you do this, you
can battle Pokemon (you meet different Pokemon than you usually would if you
were fishing)

Fishing - there are three rods that are obtainable throughout the game. Using
these you can catch Pokemon in the rivers, seas and lakes in Hoenn. 

Dungeons - when in ANY dungeon, it is like your in grass permanently and you'll
battle many monsters. 

Another way to avoid battles is to use repel. It works in dungeons as well, so
if you want to preserve your Pokemon or want to go quicker, you can use this.

===============================================================================
4.2.3 Status Conditions
=======================
These can effect your Pokemon and the opposing Pokemon. They do many different
things from eat away at health, to make you unable to attack. Even give the 
opposing Pokemon back some health. 

These five are ones that the game tells you about. They use little symbols next
to your HP to signify which one your Pokemon has. It can only have one of these:

============================================================
Status |In Game|What it does                               |
============================================================
BURN   |  BRN  |Takes away opponents health                |
POISON |  PSN  |Takes away opponents health                |
PARALYZ|  PRZ  |50% chance opponent won't be able to attack|
FREEZE |  FRZ  |A chance opponent won't be able to attack  |
SLEEP  |  SLP  |Foe will not be able to use normal attacks |
============================================================

These four can't be seen ingame and you can have any amount of them that the
opponent throws at you.

==================================================================
Stauts    |What it does                                          |
==================================================================
CURSE     |If you have a curse, you will loose some HP every turn|
LEECH SEED|Takes an amount of health from you, given to opponent |
CONFUSION |Confuses your Pokemon. May not be able to attack      |
ATTRACT   |Pokemon has fallen in love. May not be able to attack |
==================================================================

YOu can get rid of any status condition with the right items:

=====================================================================

=====================================================================

The ones that you have to use yourself on your Pokemon your unable to
do during a competitive battle. 
===============================================================================
4.2.5 Battle Chart
==================
This tells you what kind of damage the types of moves will do to your Pokemon.
So if you used an Electric Type move on a Water Pokemon, then it would do x2 
damage. 

You get these messages in game to show you what type of damage it did as well:

============================================
Message                        |Damge Ratio|
============================================
"Super effective"              |         x2|
"not very effective..."        |       x0.5|
"It doesn't effect >pkmn name<"|         x0|

=======================
There are many dual typed Pokemon out there, so this is the same type of 
table for single typed Pokemon. There are no messages to show the different
effects of moves (like x0.25), it just shows the x.5 message.

4.3 Stats of Pokemon
====================
The stats of Pokemon range from anything. EV's to IV's. Special Attack, HP, 
damage calculations. They are all covered here. 

===============================================================================
4.3.1 Visable Stats
===================
Each Pokemon in its Summary page has a few stats showing. The most obvoius ones
with values that change as the Pokemon gains levels and evolves are HP, Attack,
Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. 

HP - this is the amount of hit points your Pokemon has. the higher it is, the
more dureable it is. 

Attack - physical attacks get their power DIRECTLY off this. The formula for
damage calculations is found further on in the guide, as is the listings for
what types of moves are physical moves. 

Defense - when your Pokemon is attacked by a physical move, this determines how 
much HP it takes away. The higher this is, the less it affects the HP. 

Special Attack - Special Attacks get their power DIRECTLY off this. The formula
for damage calculations is found further on in the guide, as is the listings 
for what types of moves are physical moves. 

Special Defense - when your Pokemon is attacked by a special move, this 
determines how much HP it takes away. The higher this is, the less it affects
the HP. 

These all will rise as you level up. In truth, a Pokemon's level does not
show its strength, indeed it is his stats that do. When evolving, stats 
may decrease (eg Poliwhrls evolution to Poliwrath - speed is decreased) 
but only in rare circumstances and you shouldn't worry too much unless your an
expert.

You may be wondering which attacks are "special" attacks, and which are 
"physical. Well, here's the answer;

Physical        Special
--------        -------
Normal          Fire
Fighting        Water
Poison          Electric
Ground          Grass
Flying          Ice
Bug             Psychic
Rock            Dragon
Ghost           Dark
Steel

===============================================================================
4.3.2 Experiance Points
=======================
Alright. When levelling up, Pokemon gain levels. To get to the next level, you
need a certain amount of experiance points. Not all Pokemon level up at the
same amount of experiance points. Indeed, some Pokemon can take a very long
time to reach the best level. 

By kinds I mean the difficulty of levelling up. Here is a compelation of all
Pokemon. Find the Pokemon you want, see what its "difficulty" rating is.
Find the level you want the value for. And you have the experiance number you 
want.

Tricks for levelling Up Quicker
===============================
The best item for levelling up is probably the Lucky Egg, usually attached
to wild Chansey's. These DOUBLE the amount of experiance gained. Exp. Share
is also good, as the Pokemon gaining it will get half the experiance from
the battle.

If you have a Pokemon first in your party, then switch it too a more
powerful beast, your able to give the first in your party some experiance.
This is good for when you want to train weak beasts, or Pokemon for gaining
happyness levels. 

Pokemon recieved in a trade get 1.5x the amount of experiance points. This
means that you can train a Pokemon 50% quicker. If you also have a lucky egg
with this, you can essentially earn xp points at three times the normal rate.
Around 540,000xp points needed to get a Pokemon on "hardest" to level 100.
Thats less than a normal Pokemon on very easy. 

===============================================================================
4.3.3 Iv'S
==========
*If you wish to know more about how IV's are passed on during breeding, consult
my breeding guide.

IV stands for individual value. Though over the years Nintendo have denied the
existance of such numbers, When you meet a wild Pokemon, for each of its 6
stats, a value between 0 and 31 is set. When a stat is at 31, at level 100, it
is at its TRUE value's maximum. So the higher the number, the better it is.

The chances that a Pokemon's IV's will be the same number are around 1 in 
887,000,000 which isn't even taking into account whether the Pokemon is the 
same species... not to even mention the hundreds of other variables.

In my PokeDex, have a look to see who has higher base stats, as base stats
determine what level IV a Pokemon is. The Stat listins show who has the highest
Base stats values for each stat, allowing you to pick the best Pokemon for the 
job. 

In the Battle Frontier there is a man that tells you the total level of IV's
that the top Pokemon in your party has. He also tells you how good the highest
IV is that your Pokemon has. 

(When the game is out in English, I will tell you the phraise he uses)

I will now show you the formula to work out your Pokemon's IV number. Effort
Points are dealt with later on, so if you dno't know what they are read that
first before attempting to work any of this out. 

===============================================================================
Attack, Defense, Sp.Att, Sp.Def and Speed calculation
-----------------------------------------------------
IV = ((Math.Celling (S / PV) - 5) * 100 /LV) - 2 * BS - Math.Floor (EP/4)

S = stat (the number in the summary screen)

PV = personality value. 1.1 for a positive nature. 0.9 for a negative nature. 1
for a normal nature

LV = Pokemon Level.

BS = base stats (look in the PokeDex)

EP = effort points for that stat. Not Effort Values, but the amount of points 
that you have. A newly captured Pokemon will have 0 of these. 

*The formula for HP is slightly different.

===============================================================================
HP calculation
--------------
HP IV = ((S - LV - 10) * 100 /LV) - 2 * BS - Math.Floor (EP/4)

s = stat (the number in the summary screen)

LV = level.

BS = base stats (look in the PokeDex, one of the few thins complete)

EP = effort points for that stat. Not Effort Values, but the amount of points 
that you have. A newly captured Pokemon will have 0 of these. 

Alright. Now, lets put these into a quick practice for your viewing pleasure. 

OK. 

Entei Lv.50
Timid Nature
HP: 182
Attack: 118
Defense: 91
Specail Attack: 129
Special Defense: 107
Speed: 89

HP IV = ((182 - 50 - 10) * 100 /50) - 2 * 115 - Math.Floor(0/4)

IV = 14

The exact IV was in fact, 15. This method is never completely accurate (indeed, 
you would need a Pokemon at level 100 for that to be the case). 

Try this out to determine your Pokemon's IV's. If ANYONE has any online 
calculators that they wish to share with me, then send the address along to
my e-mail (Seamus_aran@hotmail.com) and I'll add them here. I also take 
people submitting damage calculators.

===============================================================================
4.3.4 EV's
==========
While IV's are the stats that a wild Pokemon is given, EV's are the stats that 
YOU can give him. 

When your Pokemon battles another Pokemon, it gains anything from one to three 
effort points in any of the six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, 
Special Defense, Speed). Remember, when you first obtain a Pokemon, it will 
always have zero effort points in all stats. 

Ability chnages are seen when a Pokemon levels up. 

In my PokeDex it shows you the amount of Effort Points gained from each 
different Pokemon when you battle them. In double battles, everyone who 
battles a Pokemon  will gain the same amount of effort points. When in
a 2vs2 battle, you'll gain effort points from each opponent. 

When you gain enough effort points, you then gain an ability level. Its four 
effort points to every ability level. For each skill your aloud a total of 255 
effort points (63 ability points) in any of the six skills. HOwever, overall, 
your only aloud to have 510 effort points in all stats. 

You'll notice something when adding up effort points. When you put four into 
255, you have a remainder of 3. Thats three effort points that are wasted.
Therefore, I would suggest at the most having 252 effort points, and then use
the left over ones to do something else with your pokemon and add on some extra
ability value.

When a Pokemon reaches level 100, your still able to gain EV stats. Train your 
Pokemon the way you wish too, then put them in a pc. Leave them fora while, 
then come back and take them out. You'll find that the stats have changed and 
you'll have higher stats.

Vitimens (things like Zinc, Calcium) add on ten effort points every time you use
them. However, your only about to use 10 per skill, and 51 per Pokemon. This is 
good for gaining quick stats if you need them. 

Exclusive to the Pokemon Emerald version, your able to do more with EV's than 
you normally can. Current commman berry's can now be used to take away ten 
effort points each time you feed one to your Pokemon. This can be used when a
Pokemon is level a hundred. You then add back on the stats by EV training, and 
leave them in a PC box. 

=============================== This is a breakthrough in Pokemon training. It
Berry        |Stat EV Reduced | also means that you won't have to re-breed a
=============|================| Pokemon just to do EV training all over again.
Pomeg Berry  |      HP        | 
Kelpsy Berry |     Attack     | There are a few ways of increasing EV's 
Qualot Berry |    Defense     | gained by Pokemon. Letting a Pokemon hold EXP
Hondew Berry |Special Attack  | Share will give it the same EV's as the 
Grepa Berry  | Special Defense| Pokemon battling. If a Pokemon is holding the
Tamato Berry |    Speed       | Mach Brace, then it will gain double the EV's.
=============================== As will a Pokemon who has had the PokeRus, 
but more on that in the next section.

Here is a table with all the EV values for all Pokemon, not to mention the 
best place for a Pokemon to train up.

==================================================================

In Emerald, there are some great places to EV train. But first, if you have all
the Pokemon games, there is an easier way to do this. 

When you 'Mix Records' with a friend, a replica of themselves is put into the
Secret Base which your able to battle. The person has the exact Pokemon that 
he had when you last battled him.

Your able to manipulate this and give him (for example) 6 of a certain Pokemon
so that you gain a large amount of Ev's. This makes EV training easy. Here are
the Pokemon to give your Secret Base character to gain the different EV's.

===========================
Pokemon   |LVL|EV's gained|
===========================
Clefable  | 5 |3 HP       | - Breed Clefairy, use Moon Stone
Shiftry   | 14|3 Attack   | - Catch Seedot/Nuzleaf, use Leaf Stone
Golem     | 25|3 Defense  | - Catch Graveler, trade to evolve
Raichu    |2-5|3 Speed    | - Catch in FR/LG in Viridian Forest, use T-stone
Beautifly | 10|3 Sp. Att  | - Catch Wurmple, evolve to level 10
Dustox    | 10|3 Sp. Def  | - Catch Wurmple, evolve to level 10
===========================

Its quite easy to gain EV points and if you have the PokeRus and the Mach Brace
you can gain (3points X 6 Pkmn X 2 (mach brace) x 2 (PokeRus) = 64 Ev points. 
Now that is easy training. 

I would keep a sheet of paper, showing what EV's you've let your Pokemon gain.
Remember if it really matters that much you can use berries to get rid of them
all and start again. If you've gained all Ev's and still have some Pokemon to 
defeat, I'd keep a Pokemon who has maxed out stats in your team so you can 
easily brush aside opponents. 

Finally, here are the natural training spots in Emerald. If anyone knows of any
ones they think are better, send word through the e-mail. 

=================================
Pokemon   |EV   |Place          |
=================================
Whismur   |1 HP |Rusturf Cave   |
Carvanha  |1 Att|Fish, Route 116| - use a Super Rod
Sandshrew/Skarmory
          |1 Def|Route 113      |
Spinda    |1 S.A|Route 113      |
Tentacool |1 S.D|Any water route|
Zu/Golbat |1 Sp |Cave of Origin |
=================================

And that covers EV training!

===============================================================================
4.3.7 Happiness
===============
Happiness is another hidden value in the game. It has two basic effects on your
gameplay. One is evolution of happyness exclusive Pokemon. The other is more
effective use of the moves Return and Frustration. 

Happyness is out of 255. Evolution occurs at 220 happyess points. 

First, here are the Pokemon that evolve by Happiness:

======================================================================
Pokemon Before |Criteria                               |Pokemon After|
======================================================================
Eevee          |Day (12pm-12am), 220 happyness points  |Espeon       |
Eevee          |Night (12am-12pm), 220 happyness points|Umbreon      |
Chansey        |220 happyness points                   |Blissey      |
Golbat         |220 happyness points                   |Crobat       |
Togepi         |220 happyness points                   |Togetic      |
Pichu          |220 happyness points                   |Pikachu      |
Cleffa         |220 happyness points                   |Clefairy     |
Igglybuff      |220 happyness points                   |Jigglypuff   |
Azurill        |220 happyness points                   |Marill       |
======================================================================

Frustration and Return are different moves. The more your hated, (or the lower
your happyness rating is) the higher the power of Frustration. The more liked
you are by the Pokemon, the more powerful Return is. I'll state this, its
easier to get happyness to maximum that to its lowest possible number. 

Now obviously its not going to be easy to tell how happy your Pokemon are in
game, however there is a girl in Verdanturf Town who'll give you a rough idea.

The phraise she uses corresponds to where your happyness lies. 

===============================================================================
Happiness|Phraise                                                             |
===============================================================================
0        |"This is a little hard for me to say... Your Pokemon simply detests |
         |you. Doesn't that make you uncomfortable?"                          |
1-49     |"Its very wary. It has scary viciousness in its eyes. It doesn't    |
         |like you much at all"                                               |
50-99    |"Its not very used to you yet. It neither loves nor hates you"      |
100-149  |"Its getting used to you. It seems to believe in you"               |
150-199  |"It likes you quite a lot. It seems to want to be babied for a      |
         |little"                                                             |
200-249  |"It seems very happy. It obviously likes you a whole lot"           |
250-255  |"It adores you. It can't possibly love you any more. I even feel    |
         |happy seeing it"                                                    |
===============================================================================

When you catch a Pokemon, hatch a Pokemon or are given it in a tarde, its 
happiness reverts to a set base value. Most Pokemon fall into one catagory,
however some are in others. 

===============================================================================
Base    |Pokemon                                                              |

A quick note, trading a normal Pokemon will revert its happiness to 70

There are some items to help quicker happiness gaining. If you give your
Pokemon a Soothe Bell to hold, it will increase your rate of gaining happiness
by 50%. 

If you catch a Pokemon in a Gorgeous Ball, you'll get: 
 - x2 regular happiness points from levelling up
 - x2 regular happiness points from walking
 - x2 regular happiness points from using them in an important battle

Next are all the ways of gaining (and losing) happiness

4.4.2 Inheriting From Parents
=============================
When your breeding Pokemon, your able to pass on things such as moves, natures
and IV's. This section is dedicated to telling you how to do this. 

===============================================================================
4.4.2.1 Inheriting IV's
=======================
Passing on IV's is rather easy. You see, the stats of the baby offspring depend
partially on the parents. Any three IV values are inherited from both parents. 

So for example, a baby Pichu may inherit Special Attack IV from its mother,
Speed IV from its father and Special Defence IV from its father. It can be
any combination, however the other three stats are random so you still have to
work to get a good Pokemon. 

There was a problem with Ruby/Saphire/Fire Red/Leaf Green where sometimes the
baby's IV would get overidden by the other parents IV. So the mothers Speed is
passed on, but then the fathers Speed IV overides this. This meant that you 
could have only 2 pre-set IV values (usually this turned out for the worse). 
But in Emerald this problem is fixed and IV's cannot be overidden by the other
parents stat. 

===============================================================================
4.4.2.2 Inheriting Natures
==========================
Natures are now inheritable When breeding a Pokemon, if the female is holding
an Everstone (the Ditto if there isn't a female) then the mothers Nature/the 
Ditto's Nature will be passed on. 

When you are breeding a female Pokemon and a Ditto, if both are holding a 
Everstone then there is a 50% chance of the offspring having either nature. 

===============================================================================
4.4.2.3 Inheriting Moves
========================
Yes, you've heard right. Pokemom moves are breedable. When born they have at
least one move. It is possible to pass moves onto a Pokemon, which overide 
the normally taught moves at Lv.5. 

However, only certain kinds of moves can be passed on:

- Egg Moves. The most comman passed on. These are moves that are unlearnable
in any other way by the Pokemon and can only be learnt via breeding chains. 
- TM's. If the father knows the move that the baby can learn through a TM,
then the baby will learn it.
- Levelled up moves. The most uncomman way, only used rarely in the low level
cups. When both parents know a move through levelling up, then the baby will
have that move at Level 5. 

The only kinds of moves that arent' breedable are MOVE TUTORS. Emerald and Fire
Red/Leaf Green. The moves on Pokemon Box aren't breedable either. I'm sorry
folks, but a volt Tackle/Surf w/Light Bulb Pikachu coulnd't exist. The special
Pokepark moves and New York Pokemon Centre ones aren't either. 

One more thing. In Emerald, if your breeding to get a Pichu, if either of the
parents is holding a Light Ball then the Pichu gets Volt Tackle. 

===============================================================================
4.4.5 Egg Groups
================
Here are the egg groups which you can use for breeding.

Search for your Pokemon in the PokeDex, or from here downwards to find its group
then look here to see what it can breed with.

5. Walkthrough
==============
The "meat" of my guide. The walkthrough. Before this was VERY bad, not covering
the main points in the game and split into short sentances. I'm making this A
LOT better, and adding making it look a lot better as well. 

===============================================================================
5.1 From the Lab to Rustboro
============================
Objecitves:
-----------
- Learn the controls of the game
- Get your first Pokemon & PokeDex
- Meet your rival, father and Wally
- Meet Team Aqua
- Travel through Petalburg Woods
- Gain your first Hoenn Badge

Things not covered:
-------------------
- How to gain the alternate Wallpapers in Rustboro

To start with, you've probably turned on your Gameboy Advance (or DS if your
being "cool") and have skipped through the extremely cool introduction with 
Rayquaza showing off his stuff and random Pokemon running along. You've started
your new game and are looking at Professor Birch, looking at what he is saying. 

He'll ask you to if you want to be a  ================TOP TIP=================
female or a male. Choose what you     |  If in Japanese, press the top right |
want, it doesn't matter that much     | button twice to gett English letters |
Once that all important decision has  |Its now easier to tell when people are|
been made, he'll ask you to enter     |          talking about you           |
your name. Enter what you wish to     ========================================
call your character.

You'll then be minimsed, and sent into the Pokemon world... and WOW, your in
a moving truck

=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
When theres light at the right of the screen, the truck has stopped moving and
now your able to move. Step out of the truck and your mother will usher you 
inside. 

If you've played Pokemon games before, then you should be comfortable with how
you sort out Pokemon and how to move through the menu's. If not, I would 
consult my guide about controls. It will also tell you what your objectives 
are in the Pokemon world. 

Look around and you'll see Vigroth moving furniture into your new house. Your
mother will send you upstairs to set your clock. Later on in the game when you
get doll's, your able to arrange them in here. 

Setting up your clock should be quite ================TOP TIP=================
easy. Just turn the hands until it    |  Go to the PC and your able to get a |
shows the correct time in the real    |   potion off the computer! This will |
world. Time isn't used a lot in the   |          come in useful              |
game, but is still something          ========================================
important. 

Your mother will come up, and talk to you now. Go downstairs and she'll usher
you to the TV to see your father on it. It seems your father is famous for
some reason... guess we'll find out later though. 

If you chose to be Brendan, then your house will be on the left. If you chose
to be may, it will be on the right. Once out of your house, go to the one that
you didn't come from. 

Go upstairs past their parent (Isn't it Birch's wife?) and then upstairs
 You won't find anyone up here, but press A at the PokeBall. This will
get your rivals attention and they will come rushing upstairs. 

After some words, she'll tell you to go find her father on Route 101. Head
out of the house and North to find this route. 

(beforehand, a small boy would have stopped you leaving Littleroot). 

===========
|Route 101|
===========
You'll see Professor Birch being chased by a Zigzagoon... (it was a Poochyena
in Ruby and Saphire). He'll ask you to get a PokeBall from his bag, thus 
allowing you to choose Pokemon... 

Torchic (Fire)
- evolves into a powerful Fire/Fighting type
- good at competitive battling
- Not so hot against first few gyms

Mudkip (Water)
- evolves into a relitively powerful Water/Ground type
- competent at competitive battling (Mixed Sweeper)
- good HM slave
- Great against first Gym

Treecho (Grass)
- evolves into an extremely powerful Grass type
- incredible at competitive battling (Special Sweeper)
- Great against first gym

Personally I go with Treecko. I just think he's cooler, and learns Leaf Blade
when he evolves. He may not be a dual type like the others, but that can be a
hinderance. You can check out your choices in the PokeDex if you want to know
more about them.

When you've made your choice, you'll be thrown into a battle with the level 2
Zigzagoon. The battle is easy, just use the only attacking move your monsters
have (Pound for Treecko, Scratch for Torchic, Tackle for Mudkip). Zigzagoon 
won't take long to defeat, and when you have killed him you'll be taken back
to Birch's lab. 

=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
In Birch's lab, he will ask you to go find his child (May/Brendan depending 
upon if your a boy or a girl). He tells you she's on Route 103. Before you
leave he will give you the Pokemon you used to defeat the Zigzagoon. Wow, what
a nice guy!

You can give him a nickname now if you wish. 

================TOP TIP===============     ==============TOP TIP===============
| If you need to heal your Pokemon   |     | If your playing in Japanese, then|
|just go and see your mother. It only|     |   name your Pokemon in English.  | 
|   works until you reach Oldale     |     | This will help when people refer |
======================================     |              to it               |
                                           ====================================
Now leave Littleroot by going North. 

===========
|Route 101|
===========
Your first route. You'll notice many things here that you'll see around the 
game. The grass that you travel through has wild Pokemon in. The box here
============================== will tell you which Pokemon appear in the route
Pokemon  |Level| %  |Rarity  | however, at the moment you can't catch any of 
============================== them. If you want to know how to catch Pokemon,
Wurmple  |2 - 3|50% |V.Comman| consult the area in my guide that tells you how.
Zigzagoon|2 - 3|45% |V.Comman| 
Poochyena|2 - 3|5%  |Rare    | Battle a few Pokemon while making your way up 
============================== this route. Theres nothing to do except make
your way to Oldale. You should have gained a level by the time you enter the 
next town. 

=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Upon entering the town, you will see two buildings that you should get to know.
One is the Pokemon Centre. In here you will find two things - a PC for storing
=================== Pokemon and a nurse who will heal your Pokemon for you. 
Item         |Cost| Some centres have items that people give you, but this one
=================== does not.
Potion	     |300 |
Antidote     |100 | The other is the PokeMart (blue roof). This sells many 
Paralyz Heal |200 | items that are useful in the Pokemon world. Upon entering
Awakening    |250 | the town, talk to the man on your right. He will escort you
=================== to the PokeMart and give you a free Potion (and these are
always useful). Once done here, move North to Route 103. 

================TOP TIP===============  ===========
|You can purchase PokeBalls here once|  |Route 103|
| Birch has given you some for 200 C |  ===========
======================================  You should be competent at battling now
and Treecko and Mudkip should have learnt new moves (Absorb and Mud Slap). 
Mud Slap will be useful for the impending battle, while Absorb can be used to
take energy away from the enemy and give it to you. Focus Energy on Torchic
is definately not useful sadly. But your two potions should be enough to get
you through the battle.

============================= Work your way through the grass, battling for
Pokemon  |Level| % |Rarity  | more experiance if you think you need it. This
============================= isn't the best place for training, so carry on
Poochyena|2 - 4|60%|V.Comman| through the grass until you get to your rival, 
Wingull  |2 - 4|20%|Comman  | at the top of Route 103 (if you need to see where
Zigzagoon|3 - 4|20%|Comman  | he/she is look at my Place Reference Guide. S/he  
============================= will tell you about the Pokemon on Route 103, and 
will then challenge you to a battle. 

The Pokemon s/he has depends on what Pokemon you chose. May/Brendan ALWAYS
chooses the one strongest against yours. 

(Gender doesn't matter for these battles)

If you chose:

Torchic...             Mudkip...                Treecko...

when necessary.    |   |you need variety    |   |health & Pound.     |
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Once May/Brendan has been defeated, head over the ledges on Route 103 if you
don't want to battle wild Pokemon. I would reccomend this if your Pokemon are
weak. 

=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Head south through this town and talk to your rival at the end. They're heading
back to Littleroot, as you should do as well. I would heal your Pokemon though
if needs be. 

===========
|Route 101|
===========
Head south over the ledges. No need to go into the grass.

=================
|Littleroot Town|
=================
Head straight for the lab at the south of the town. Head into the lab and talk
with the Professor and their daughter. They'll say that they think you deserve
to keep your Pokemon, and hand you a PokeDex! Not to mention five PokeBalls to
go with it!

If you want to know the controls for the PokeDex, check my controls guide near
the start of the faq. When your heading out of town, your mum will stop you and
give you an exceptionally useful item - the Running Shoes! You don't have to
equip these, just hold B and you can move twice as fast.

The PokeBall's can be used on these early Pokemon you've seen around, but you 
don't have to be too bothered as they appear in Route 102 and other routes 
before Rustboro. 

===========
|Route 101|
===========
Head north through here. Battle the Pokemon for xp, but its not great xp so 
don't spend too long here.

=============
|Oldale Town|
=============
Heal your Pokemon if needs be. If you look West, you'll see that the man there
before has been moved. you can now move onto Petalburg. 

===========
|Route 103|
===========
=========================== This isn't an overly long route, but you do get 
Pokemon  |Level| % |Rarity| your first taste of trainer battles. Be careful
=========================== against them as trainers are usually more powerful
Poochyena|3 - 4|30%|Comman| than wild Pokemon in the area. 
Wurmple  |3 - 4|30%|Comman|
Zigzagoon|3 - 4|15%|Rare  | If your a Torchic trainer I would suggest getting
Lotad    |3 - 4|20%|Comman| either a Lotad (Water/Grass) or Seedot here. A Ralts
Ralts    |  4  |4% |V.Rare| is helpful for either team as well, as it grows into
Seedot   |  3  |1% |V.Rare| a powerful Psychic Type not unlike Alakazam. Lotad
==========================| and Seedot come in handy for the first Gym, although
I think Lotad is better because of its origional dual type and the fact it 
grows into an aswome Pokemon. 

The Trainer battles aren't to difficult, the only thing  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
to watch out for being the Tallow for Treecko trainers   |Youngster           |
though it wouldn't cause any major problems.             |Poochyena Lv5       |
                                                         |80 C                |
Luckily at these Levels the two    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-----------------------
Wurmple's can't Poison you, which |Youngster             |BugCatcher          |
is why I didn't advise you to buy |Zigzagoon Lv4; Tallow |Wurmple Lv4 (x2)    |
any Antidotes.                    |Lv3                   |64 C                |
                                  |48 C                  |                    |
You'll notice some soil at the    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
top of the map with what looks like trees in. These are 'Berrys', not unlike 
the ones that were in Gold and Silver. Consult the ItemDex if you wish to see
their battle properties. The BerryDex if you wish to know more about them (Eg
PokemonBlocks - but thats very far away at the moment). 

Finally towards the end of the Route is yet another Potion. Take this if your 
health is low, but I doubt it will be as you have other potions (and you
should) have your second Pokemon. Now, carry on West into Petalburg!

It doesn't really matter about levels at this stage, I will tell you about
the level your Pokemon should be before big battles like Gyms, and Bosses. 

================
|Petalburg City|
================
Upon entry to Petalburg it may look big and grand, however in truth there 
isn't much here upon your first visit (or any other visits). The PokeMart 
=================== stocks some new items. The most useful at the moment 
Item        |Price| is Repel. This keeps wild Pokemon at bay for a hundred
=================== steps. Incredibly useful if you are very close to the
PokeBall    |200  | end of a route. I would buy two Antidotes just in case
Potion 	    |300  | you get poisioned by the Bug creatures in Petalburg woods.
Antidote    |100  | 
Paralyz Heal|200  | Once you've bought your items (you shouldn't need
Awakening   |250  | PokeBal's yet) make your way to the Gym. If you attempt
Escape Rope |550  | to leave town before your aloud, Wally's dad will stop 
Repel       |350  | you and escort you to your fathers Gym. You might be
X Speed	    |350  | wondering who Wally is - well, he's a rather annoying
X Attack    |500  | guy who is more like a second rival. He's not great at
X Defend    |550  | fighting so don't worry. Go into your fathers Gym 
Orange Mail |50   | to meet your father. Sadly he won't let you challenge him,
=================== but he will let you help Wally to capture a Pokemon. Don't
know who Wally is? The guy who's just walked in. So, you'll automatically 
follow Wally to Route 102 where he encounters a Ralts. You may have one in your
team, I don't know. But heres MY quick guide to catching Pokemon (more can be
found in the section devoted to it...).
                                         ================TOP TIP===============
When you encounter a wild Pokemon that   |  Paralyz, Freeze and Sleep are the |
you want, the thing to do is throw a     |most useful status allailments. They|
PokeBall. It wont' always catch if the   |don't cause any damage to the enemy |
Pokemon has full health. I would suggest |Pokemon. Sleep and Freeze also make |
doing some damage to it, or causing      |   sure they can't move. Cool no?   |
some status alailments (Burn, Paralyz).  ======================================
Once you've taken the enemy down to the red, or at a stable lower level but 
asleep/frozen/paralyzed, then its time to throw PokeBall's. The stronger the
Pokemon, the better PokeBall should be used. The handy table shows the order
================ the Ball's go in, but it doesn't show all PokeBall's (consult)
No.|PokeBall   | the itemdex over that. 
================
01 |PokeBall   | Your Pokemon will be sent to your PC box if you have more than
02 |Great Ball | 6 Pokemo on you. From here you can manage your captured beasts
03 |Ultra Ball | and (if you wish) set them free. 
04 |Master Ball|
================ Anyway. Back to the game. Once you've helped Wally, you'll be
taken back to Petalburg's Gym and talk with your father. He will send you on 
your way. You'll see Eshinda on the way and after a short conversation, you
can continue on-route to Rustboro City!

===========
|Route 104|
===========
Theres only one Route between Rustboro and Petalburg, however there is also 
your first dungeon in the form of Petalburg Woods. More on that in a second
though. 

=========================== The Pokemon here you've met before, but are at a
Pokemon  |Level| % |Rarity| higher level. I wouldn't suggest training here, as
=========================== Petalburg Woods is a better location for that and 
Poochyena| 4-5 |50%|Comman| you have many battles coming up where you can gain
Wurmple  | 4-5 |30%|Comman| experiance. A Tallow could be a good capture if you
Tallow   | 4-5 |10%|Rare  | need a filler Pokemon. However he isn't one of my
Wingull  | 3-5 |10%|Rare  | personal favourites so I would leave him and carry
=========================== on. 

The battles here are quite easy,  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
so you shouldn't have much        |Youngster            |Fisherman           |
trouble with them. The zigzagoon  |Zigzagoon Lv.5;      |Magikarp Lv.9       |
and the Seedot are the most       |Seedot Lv.7          |360 C               |
dangerous at Lv7. You sould sotrm |360C                 |--------------------|
this.                             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|Rich Girl           |
                                                        |Zigzagoon Lv.7      |
There are two berry's at the top of the route, collect  |140 C               |
them. Its exactly what you got earlier on Route 103.    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Move left from the berry trees and north. Battle the final trainer her and her
Zigzagoon which you should move out the way easilly. If your going to go to
the Pokemon Centre, I'd do that in a second. Go up into Petalburg Woods. 

=================
|Petalburg Woods|
=================
First things first. If you need to/want to heal before   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
the next few battles do so after this small bit. Head    |Bug Catcher         |
right immediately then downwards, back through a fence   |Wurmple Lv.3 (x4)   |
and onto Route 104. Grab the item near the girl (which   |48 C                |
is a PokeBall) then either heal or go back to Petalburg  ----------------------
Woods.                                                   |Bug Catcher         |
                                                         |Nincada Lv.6 (x2)   |
The woods are shaped in an spirally shape - you head left|96 C                |
then right then left. Go left to start with and battle   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
the Bug Catcher, which is a simple battle. 

=========================== Pick up the Paralyz Heal (it should come in handy) 
Pokemon  |Level| % |Rarity| and head left. Your Pokemon should be nearing Level
=========================== 10 and you should have 3 by the end of Petalburg 
Poochyena| 5-6 |30%|Comman| Woods (or two Pokemon Level 12/13). You'll see a red
Wurmple  | 5-6 |25%|Comman| haired man who is being chased by an Aqua Grunt. 
Shroomish| 5-6 |15%|Comman| An Aqua Grunt is a member of Team Aqua, one of the
Silcoon  |  5  |10%|Rare  | main criminal organisations in Hoenn. He wants some
Cascoon  |  5  |10%|Rare  | Devon Corp Goods (Devon Corp being a company that 
Tallow   | 5-6 |5% |V.Rare| the red haired man works for. Got the story now?)
Slakoth  | 5-6 |5% |V.Rare| that the man has. You have to stop him by battling 
=========================== his Pokemon!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- If your Pokemon are nearing the Level 10 I suggested 
Aquq Grunt           | then this will be a walkover for you. If your really 
---------------------- stuck I'd go with Special attacks, so your starter will
Poochyena Lv.9       | be the best for this. Once you've won, you'll get a 
180 C                | Great Ball from the Devon Corp dude and he'll run North

Attacks as it'll kill|
him quicker.         | Carry on going through the zigzaging path and you'll 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- find the final trainer. His Pokemon offer good 
experiance and give you the final push to level 10. After this battle you'll
come across a rare item called an Ether. This replenishes your "Power Points"
of your moves, so that you can use them some more. I would save this for Gym
Battles, or alternitavely when your facing the Elite 4 and you can't heal. 

Finally head North and you'll be out of Petalburg Woods. Don't worry if your
not Level 10, as there are quite a few battles until you enter Rustboro and it
only really matters if you have Torchic. 

===========
|Route 104|
===========
After stepping out into the bright sunlight, you'll see a man near you. Talk 
to him for the imfamous TM09 Bullet Seed! Please note that the Pokemon your
able to capture here are the same ones you were able to capture on Route 104
earlier. 

On your left is a building and some berry's. Behind the building is some 
grass with a Potion in the middle. You should have a supply of these from
the PokeMart, but just in case you need it keep it. The soil has two Cheri 
Berry's and 2 Oran Berry's in. 

Enter the shop to get the Wailmer Patel ================TOP TIP===============
from the girl in the upper middle part  |Keep track of how long your planted |
of the shop. Also get your first Persim | Berry's take to grow. It will help |
Berry from the woman at the right of the| you to realise when to pick Berry's|
store.                                  ======================================

Go down and right along the track.=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There are many battles to get     |Rich Boy            |Lass                 |
your Pokemon levels higher before |Zigzagoon Lv.7      |Lotad Lv.6;          |
the Gym battle. In truth unless   |1400 C              |Shroomish Lv.6       |
you don't have any water/grass    ---------------------|96 C                 |

Pokemon and Grass against the     =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Water. If you wanted to capture any Pokemon here you can just look at my notes
earlier but theres nothing of interest. 

Theres a final pair of Berry trees here that supply you with two Cheri and 
two Leppa Berry's. The old woman standing by these will also provide you with
a Cheri Berry. Move north through the puddles into... Rustboro City!

===============
|Rustboro City|
===============
First things first head to the Pokemon Centre. Explore the town to see what you
can find. However use this guide to find everyting it has to offer. Upon 
entering the city look to your left at the tall building. It looks like nothing
but enter and go to the second floor. Talk to the short man/big child and he 
will give you a Premium Ball. Don't complain that you just got a Great Ball, it
was free. 

=================== As you can see the PokeMart stocks exactly the same as in
Item        |Price| Petalburg so grab what you need and move on. The Pokemon
=================== Centre doesn't have any hidden items in either. 
PokeBall    |200  |
Potion      |300  |The house to the right of the PokeCentre has a man in it.
Super Potion|700  |Talk to him and he will give you the elusive HM01 Cut. You
Antidote    |100  |can use this move outside of battle after you gain the badge
paralyz Heal|200  |from Roxanne. The trees that your able to Cut look out of
Escape Rope |550  |place and unlike the other trees in the game, almost 
Repel       |350  |minature compared to the other ones. 
X Speed     |350  |
X Attack    |500  | The house behind the Pokemon Centre (dubbed, by me, "Sick"
X Defend    |350  | House" lets you gain alternate wallpapers for your PC,  
=================== however I am unable to find out how to get these yet so
bear with me. 

*update* it seems no-one is able to figure out how to get these box papers.
However through the wonderful world of hacking we do know that there are:

- Plusle Pattern
- Minun Pattern
- Diglit Notes
- Togepi Frame
- Hearts Pattern
- Luvdisc Pattern
- Ribbon Blue Frame
- Ribbon Notes
- Magma Red Pattern
- Magma Pink Pattern
- R/S Pattern Inverted
- R/S Pattern
- Aqua Light Blue Pattern
- Aqua Blue Pattern
- Piackhu

The Pokemon School is on the other side of the city to the sick house. In here
you can learn about status conditions, but the main reason to come in here is
================TOP TIP=============== to collect the Quick Claw. It makes you
| Put the Quick Claw on slow Pokemon | go first in most duels. Ignore the huge
|  to give them the edge in battle!  | castle-like building for now and go into
====================================== the Pokemon Gym!

========================================================================
|Battle For the Gym Badge: Foxi Miss Roxi! - she's a whole lotta woman!|
========================================================================
That age old battle music will come into your ears and you'll be taken back to
your Red/Blue days. The tune that put the spirit into your heart and spurred 
you onto battling the Gym Leaders Pokemon taunting you up ahead. 

The three junior trainers are avoidable, but I wouldn't recomend it. Torchic
owners look out for these battles, everyone else should find them a breeze if 
you use your type attacks. 

       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
       |Youngster          |Youngster           |Hiker               |

       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Those should have been easy for your Treecko with Bullet Seed, Mudkip with
Water Gun or step-in Water or Grass types those Torchic owners have. But
now its time for the real thing. Roxanne wants a battle people. Give the lady
exactly what she wants.

|Rustboro City|
===============
If you followed my guide last time, you'll be in Rustboro City and will have
just defeated Roxanne for the first Gym Badge. Congratulations on your 
excellent win. If your having trouble against her I suggest battling some wild
Pokemon in Petalburg Woods and getting your levels higher. 

After you've exited the Gym you'll see a blue pirate hatted man run away,
quickly followed by a red haired man. These may look familiar because they
are the people who you helped in Petalburg Woods. Go North yourself, quickly
stopping off on...

===========
|Route 115|
===========
Follow the path around the beach to get the Super Potion. As you can't buy 
these yet, this one will come in handy. 

===============
|Rustboro City|
===============
Head right and you'll meet the Devon Corp man. The Team Aqua grunt has nicked 
some things. He wants you to get it back for him. Oh the fun... 

===========
|Route 116|
===========
Get in some practice, as the next Gym Battle is not that far off. You'll meet 
some trainers on this route - 10 infact before Team Aqua. There are some good
========================= Pokemon down here as well. An Abra in case you didn't 
Pokemon  |LVL| % |Rarity| get a Ralts, but its hard to catch. Nincada evolves 
========================= into a great Baton-passer (Ninjask).

trainers, go across past the entrance to Rustuf Tunnel   |Machop Lv.9         |
climb the rock and grab the X Special. Go back past the  |144 C               |
house and up to the "cutable"       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=----------------------
trees. Cut them down and make your  |Girl                |Hiker               |
way through the trainers. When you  |Shroomish Lv.9      |Geodude Lv.9        |
get to the Berry's, they are; 3     |180 C               |320 C               |

2 more Chesto Berry's and another   |Youngster           |Hiker               |
3 Pinap's. When you do finally      |Shroomish Lv.8;     |Geodude Lv.8 (x2)   |
decide to enter Rusturf Tunnel, a   |Lotad Lv.8          |320 C               |
guy will stop you. If you remember  |128 C               ----------------------
on Route 104, there was a house that---------------------|Rich Guy            |
was empty. This is the owner. His   |Rich Girl           |Poochyena Lv.8;     |
Wingull has been stolen by a thief! |Lotad Lv.8;         |Zigzagoon Lv.8      |

                                                         =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
He's quite an easy battle, so don't worry too much. Once |Aqua Grunt          |
you've defeated him, Mr. Binney will claim back his bird.----------------------
You will also gain the Devon Goods from him - which is   |Poochyena Lv.11     |
what the Devon Guy wanted!                               |220 C               |

You can't get out of here anyway. Its blocked by some    |easier than the Gym |
rocks for now, so ignroe it and head back out of the way =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
you came in. 

===========
|Route 116|
===========
Go back through here, back to the Devon Corp guy. 

===============
|Rustboro City|
===============
You'll be taken to the head of the Devon Corporation once the Devon Corp guy 
has found out wha tyou did for him. You'll be introduced to Mr. Stone, who will
prompty give you a Pokemon Navigator (or Pokenav for short). 

This goes into your menu, and can be accessed from here. Its much like the 
PokeGear from gold and silver, sporting a mobile phone now. You'll also be 
given a letter to give to Steven in Dewford Town. How utterly interesting... 
shame you can't read the letter eh. 

On your way out you'll talk to the scientist who'll give you his number. You'll
be prompted to call him (which you will have to do). On the floor below Mr. 
Stone you'll find ltos of scientists. When you have fossils, come here to have
them changed into regular Pokemon. 

Heal your Pokemon at the POkeCentre after you've left Devon Corp - you'll be 
battling your rival when you leave town, going south. 

- the brackets are what Pokemon YOU chose

Gender doesn't matter on the type of Pokemon you face. You shouldn't have too 
much problem with these. There have been plenty of water Pokemon along the way
for the Torchic-owners to deal with the Torkoal. use something strong if your a 
Mudkip owner against Treecko. Loatd isn't that hard as he has a duel type. Once
you've defeated him/her, carry on going south to Route 104. 

===========
|Route 104|
===========
================TOP TIP=============== Go down past the twins that you battled
|After you've gained a new HM, there | before and get to the Cut-able tree. I

======================================

Head into Petalburg Woods - there is a place in here your able to use Cut as 
well. 

=================
|Petalburg Woods|
=================
Head right from the north entrance, until you see a tree your able to Cut. 
There is an item you can grab from the girl (Miricle Seed) not to mention the
two items that are located down here if you follow the trail. The Great Ball
will come in useful as you can't use them yet, however X Accuracy should just 
be sold at a shop to generate some income. Head south out of Petalburg Woods. 

===========
|Route 104|
===========
Walk south from Petalburg Woods and approach the only building on this route. 
Inside you'll find Binney, the guy from earlier. He'll now take you to Dewford
Town as a reward for helping him get back his Wing
