You begin your journey at the bottom of Route | You begin your journey at the bottom of Route 1, and must travel north. Route 1 is very peaceful, and doesn't contain many interesting features. As a result, there's not a lot of things to do on your first trip to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian City|Viridian City]]. One of the first people you will encounter is a man who offers you a free '''Potion'''. Don't miss out on that. | ||
Wild Pidgeys and Rattatas | Wild Pidgeys and Rattatas appear, but without any Poké Balls of your own, the only thing fighting them is good for is EXP. Be careful that they don't wear you down, and stick with your damage-dealing regular attacks. To avoid the fights altogether, spend as little time as possible walking through the grassy areas. They're the only areas where wild Pokémon lurk, so it's the only time you're at risk of being attacked. | ||

They're not great, but their Flying-type status has an advantage over Grass types. Also, Ground-type moves will not effect Flying-types. Unfortunately, Pidgey doesn't learn much in the way of flying attacks until later. Spearow is likely a better choice. But there is one very good tactic you can use with Pidgey: it is based on Sand-Attack, which Pidgey learns rather early. It will decrease enemy accuracy enough after a few times to prevent your opponent from attacking! | ||
| [[Image:Pokemon_019Rattata.png|right]]Not the sturdiest, but Rattata can gain the awesome 80 base power Hyper Fang at a mere level 14, which is enhanced further by the type-matching bonus. At level 20, Rattata evolves into the stronger {{bp|Raticate}}. Much later on, it can learn Super Fang to help in efforts to weaken a target Pokémon for capture; it will cut the target's current HP in half with each use. | | [[Image:Pokemon_019Rattata.png|right]]Not the sturdiest, but Rattata can gain the awesome 80 base power Hyper Fang at a mere level 14, which is enhanced further by the type-matching bonus.
