YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS

In this world live creatures called Pokmon. Humans and Pokmon have lived, worked, and played together in harmony for ages. Nevertheless, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding them. In order to find out more about these creatures, many scientistssuch as Professor Rowan of Sandgem Townhave dedicated their lives to Pokmon research. One day, in search of rare Pokmon, you and your friend take a hike around the lake close to your town. While looking around the lakeside, you see two strangers talking about Pokmon. After they leave, you realize that they left a briefcase behind. You and your friend talk about what to do with the briefcase.

Pokmon live in places such as caves and grassy areas, so when you pass through such places, wild Pokmon may attack. When they do, you can use a Pok Ball (or another type of ball) to catch them.

Tips for Fighting Use Physical Move and Special Move effectively
Pokmon moves are classified into types such as "Physical" and "Special." There are cases where "Physical" Moves are not effective on some Pokmon. In other cases, "Special" Moves are not effective against others. Try to pick a Move that will take away an opponents advantage.
Use a Pokmon's Type to Your Advantage Pokmon (switch Pokmon)
Touch "POKMON" or select "POKMON" by using the Control Pad and pressing the A Button. On the next screen, choose the Pokmon you want to switch, then confirm by selecting "SHIFT." Various types of Pokmon (such as Electric, Grass, etc.) each have different advantages and disadvantages against other types. For example, Water-type Moves have the greatest effect on Fire-type Pokmon, while Ground-type Moves have no effect on Flying-type Pokmon. Use these qualities to your advantage to come up with an effective battle strategy.

When Status is Affected

When you get hit by an opponent's attack, your Pokmon's status might be affected. However, you can use your items to help your Pokmon recover. Alternately, you can take it to a Pokmon Center where it will recover completely. Poison Gradually decreases HP during the battle. If the Poison isn't cured, HP will continue to decrease even after the battle is finished.
When affected by Poison, the screen will shake and a sound will be heard.
Use Your Pokmon's Ability
The Ability that your Pokmon has affects it both during battles and in the field. There are various abilities and effects. When your Pokmon's status has a status problem, its Attack will increase, or the ratio of encountering wild Pokmon will rise, and so on. Use your Pokmon's Ability wisely to size up and battle against opponents.

About Double Battles

When a Double Battle starts, the Pokmon on the top left and the Pokmon on the top right of your Party Pokmon will appear (see page 11). In addition to Moves that attack one Pokmon, there are also Moves that attack two Pokmon at the same time! Try things like throwing two different types of Pokmon into a battle so that your Pokmon avoid getting hit in their weak spot. Also, beat an opponent's Pokmon one by one with converging attacks.

Confuse Faint

There are some other status problems such as Paralyze, Sleep, Frozen, Burn and so on.

If the Pokmon uses a Move during battle, there is a chance it may attack itself. The Pokmon will recover when it goes back to its Pok Ball. When its HP reaches 0, the Pokmon can no longer battle.

CATCHING POKMON

You can catch wild Pokmon with Pok Balls (see page 26). While in battle, touch "BAG" or select it by using the Control Pad and pressing the A Button, then select POK BALLS. Select a Pok Ball you want to use and throw it at the Pokmon to try to catch it. After you have caught the Pokmon, you can give it a nickname.

RAISING POKMON

Experience Points
When you win a battle, Experience Points are given to Pokmon who fought in the battle. When the Experience Point gauge completely fills, a Pokmon's level goes up. When a Pokmon gains a level, their stats get higher, and they might learn a new Move.

Where to Find Pokmon

Pokmon inhabit caves and areas with tall grass. If your Pokmon's HP is low, and you don't want to fight, avoid walking in those areas. Certain Pokmon only appear in the morning or in the late evening. Water-type Pokmon may appear when you are crossing a lake or ocean by using the HM Surf. You can also use a Fishing Rod by the water, or while crossing water, to catch some Pokmon. Press the A Button when "!" appears. Tips for Catching Pokmon If you use a Pok Ball on a Pokmon that has taken very little damage, it will break free of the Ball. You must first weaken the Pokmon by attacking it until its HP is low. It will also be easier to catch the Pokmon if you put it to Sleep, Poison it, and so on.
Tips on Raising Pokmon Raising Low-Level Pokmon
Place the Pokmon you want to raise in the first slot of your Pokmon party. Immediately switch to another Pokmon as soon as you enter a battle. As long as you win the battle, even the Pokmon that didn't fight will receive a portion of the Experience Points. By repeating these steps, you can slowly but steadily increase the level of a weak Pokmon.

There are Moves that can be used both in battle and in the field. Note that HM Moves cannot be used in the field until you obtain certain Gym Badges. Be aware that HM Moves cannot be forgotten by learning new moves. However, its rumored that there is a way to forget your Pokmons HM Moves. Hidden Moves Cut Instantly cuts down trees that block the road. Fly Instantly returns you to a town you've previously visited. Surf Lets you move across water, such as the sea or rivers. Strength Pushes heavy rocks. Defog Clears deep fog. Rock Smash Smashes rocks that block the road. Waterfall Lets you climb up torrential waterfalls. Rock Climb Lets you scale rocky walls. Moves Lets you escape from places such as caves. Dig Instantly warps you to the last Pokmon Center visited. Teleport

Moves can be used in the field

Berries

Pokmon holding a Berry can use it during a battle to restore itself or cure status problems. Berries are also used as ingredients in making Poffins (see page 28). A Pokmon holding this Berry will use it during a battle to restore Oran Berry some HP. A Pokmon holding this Berry lessens a super effective Fire-type Occa Berry attack against it.

TMs & HMs

Both Technical and Hidden Machines allow your Pokmon to learn new Moves. Technical Machines (TM) can be used only once, but you can use Hidden Machines (HM) as often as you like. Different types of Pokmon will be able to learn different Moves.
About Berries On your journey in the Sinnoh region, you will find some places where fruit-bearing trees grow. A tree will disappear once you pick its Berries; however, it will grow back if you plant a Berry in the same spot! Besides being the raw material of Poffin, you can use Berries to cure Pokmon status problems, exchange them for accessories, and so on. Grow many Berries by using mulch before planting, or by watering the trees as they grow.

Poffins

If its Condition is high, a Pokmon will enjoy greater ratings in a Pokmon Contest (see page 24). You can make better Poffins if your friends help you (see page 45). You will need the Poffin Case, obtained during your journey, before you can start making Poffins.
