Sometimes you will receive a Level 5 or lower Pokémon. Whenever you try and fight Level 25 or so Pokémon yours always faints so it cannot gain EXP points. First, select the weak Pokémon as your main Pokémon, once you run into a wild Pokémon simply switch to a stron one on your first turn. Defeat the enemy Pokémon and your strong and weak Pokémon will splits the EXP points. It will take awhile, but soon your Level 5 will turn into a Level 20 and be able to defend itself. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=HIDDEN MACHINES ARE PERMANENT=-
I didn't know this at the time, but once a Pokémon learns a Hidden Machine ability, it cannot be deleted. I didn't want my Pokémon to be stuck with CUT as one of their attacks so I kept those first Pokémon for CUT and got a new version of the same Pokémon with only fighting moves. I now will only teach Hidden Machines to Pokémon which I have already 'messed' up with the Hidden Machines. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=TECHNICAL MACHINES VS. LEARNING=-
When a Pokémon learns a move, it will be more powerful than the Technical Machine version of that move. You can decide if you can wait for a more powerful attack, or get it right now. The good thing about Technical Machines is to teach Pokémon moves they will never learn. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=CELADON COINS=-
As many know, you can get up to 50 free coins from the various slot players, but here is a way to get almost 200 more. Walk around inside the Game Corner pressing A, you will find anywhere from packs of 10 to 100 coins. They are located on the tiles inside the Game Corner. Soon, you will find them all since they do not reappear. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=DO NOT USE THE STONES INSTANTLY=-
I made this mistake and deeply regret it. Throughout the game you can find 3 or 4 Moonstones. At Celadon City, you can buy the other stones. However, do not use these stones on your Pokémon until they have reached their 'maturity' level. The Pokémon 'maturity' level is when the Pokémon reaches the level in which it will not learn any new moves. Example- You have a Pikachu that is Level 20, therefore it still has 3 moves to learn. If you turn it into a Raichu, it will never learn those 3 moves. So wait until it reaches its 'maturity' level, which happens to be Level 43, to turn it into a Raichu. Here is a list of the Pokémon that fall prey to this effect and their 'maturity' levels. Once the below Pokémon reaches the below level, than transform it into its more powerful Evolution using the stone.
* - Note: If Shellder is evolved into Cloyster, it will learn SPIKE CANNON instead of ICE BEAM at Level 50, but will not learn any other moves. Therefore, you can wait till your Shellder gets to Level 50, to evolve it and get ICE BEAM, instead of evolving it at 40 to get SPIKE CANNON when it reaches Level 50.
¤ - Note: If Exeggcute is evolved into Exeggutor, it will learn STOMP instead of LEECH SEED at Level 28, but will not learn any other moves after or before that. Therefore, you can wait till your Exeggcute gets to Level 28, to evolve it and get LEECH SEED, instead of evolving it at 27 to get STOMP when it reaches Level 28. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=EEVEE EVOLVING=-
Eevee can only be gotten once, and you can only change it into one thing, so you would have to have 2 other friends who pick different paths, right? Wrong. Copy your Eevee 3 times ( Info on this forthcoming ) with a friend and have him trade you them back. You now have 4 Eevees. I recommend not building them up before you copy them, since you will lose some cool moves when you use stones on them. You now have a Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, anmd Flareon to add to your battle squad. Enjoy. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=HOW TO GET ALL THREE STARTING POKÉMON=-
First, get a friend who has a new game pack. Example, lets say you picked Bulbasaur, who of course is now a Venusaur with your training skill. Your friend starts a new game and picks a Squirtle and goes to the nearest Pokémon center and trades it to you. He/She repeats this. Starting a new game he picks a Charmander and again trades it to you. He/She repeats this again. Now he/she starts another new game and picks whatever you picked, in this case Bulbasaur, you trade him/her back one Squirtle and Charmander. He/She now has all 3 Starting Pokémon and so do you. The main thing is what you originally picked, so if you picked Squirtle, make 2 copies of Bulbasaur and Charmander, and have your friend pick Squirtle. If you picked Charmander, make 2 copies of Squirtle and Bulbasaur, and have your friend pick Charmander. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=HOW TO COPY POKÉMON=-
Let's say your friend has captured Articuno, but you missed out. First, get a weak, easy to find, Pokémon. Set up a trade with the game link. When the "Waiting" message appears, your friend should turn off his or her Game Boy. Then, turn off your Game Boy. Turn them back on and you will both have Articuno, but the weak, easy to find Pokémon, will be gone. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ -=UPCOMING=-
