2. Viridian City

Talk to the shop clerk and then head back to Pallet Town with the parcel that he gives you. Give it to Prof. Oak and he will give you and your rival each a Pokédex, which is an electronic encyclopedia. Your goal in the game is to capture or have captured every Pokémon in the game. The gym's doors are locked, and they wont unlock until you've beaten the other 7 trainers in the game.

3. Viridian Forest

On your way through Viridian Forest, you should pick up a Pikachu, a Caterpie and a Weedle. To save having to evolve your Caterpie and Weedle, capture a Metapod and a Kakuna as well and evolve them instead. To easily evolve them, have either Metapod or Kakuna as your first Pokémon during battle, and as your first move, switch to another Pokémon that can fight. That way, your Metapod or Kakuna will always get shared Experience Points. Metapod turns into Butterfree and Kakuna into Beedrill. There are two easy trainers in the forest that your should have no trouble beating.
Note: Come back to the road between Viridian Forest and Pweter City when you have a Pokémon who has the Cut ability. To reach the left side of the road, cut the bush. You can get a Mr. Mime by trading an Abra for it at a cottage.

4. Pewter City

This is where Brock lives. At his command are Onix and Geodude, two rock-type Pokémon. Old Amber is in the museum. In order to enter the side of the museum, you need to cut a bush with the cut ability. Old Amber will become an Aerodactyl when you take it to the Pokémon Laboratory on Cinnabar Island. Before you go into Mount Moon, go to the Pokémon Centre near the entrance and find the man that will give you a Magikarp for $500.

5. Mount Moon

Here you can get one of two fossils. You can choose the Helix or the Dome Fossil. The Helix Fossil will become Omanyte and the Dome Fossil will become Kabuto when you take them to the Pokémon Laboratory on Cinnabar Island. There are a lot of Team Rocket trainers here too so beware cause they are tougher than normal trainers.

6. Cerulean City

In this city you can trade your Poliwhirl for a Jynx in one of the houses. You can also get the Bike here once the President of the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermillion City has given you the Bike Voucher. The trainer here is Misty. She has a Staryu and a Starmie. Beat her and head North to Bill's house. Here you will get the S.S. Anne ticket from Bill after you turn him into a human again. Before you leave, ask him if you can see his computer again, and this time you will be able to see pictures of four rare Pokémon that will be added to your Pokédex. On the road South from Cerulean city, there is a house. This is the Pokémon Daycare centre. The man there will care for one of your Pokémon and raise it a level while you are gone. At the end of the road there is a big building which is a gate house to Saffron City. At this point, the guard will not let you through. You must get some Fresh Water from the Pokémart in Celadon City. The smaller building is the entrance of the underground passage to Vermilion City.

Here you can get the coupon for the Bike in Cerulean City by visiting the Pokémon Fan Club. Also there is a house in the city where you can trade a Pidgey for a Farfetch'd. In the house to the left of the Pokémon Centre, there is a man who will give you an Old Rod that you can use to go fishing. When you get to the Gym, beat Lt. Surge, the gym leader. He uses Voltorb, Pikachu and Raichu. Its best to use a ground-type Pokémon against his electric ones. Talk to him afterwards to get the TM24 which contains ThunderBolt. ThunderBolt is the best electric move.

8. S.S. Anne

You can get on the boat with the S.S. Ticket you got from Bill. On this boat, there are many trainers and some useful items. The most important one of them all is HM 01. This teaches one of your Pokémon the Cut ability. The Captain will give this to you when you give him help with his seasickness. You should get HM 01 after you have got everything else because the boat will take off when you get the HM 01 and exit the boat. you will have to face Gary on the boat as well, so make sure that you have a few Potions in stock to recharge your Pokémon.
