Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions: Difference between revisions

* A man appears in the [[Cerulean City]] Pokémon Center and will help create [[Berry Powder]] via [[Berry Crush]]. This powder can then be exchanged for rare and valuable items.

* There is a new minigame corner, the [[Joyful Game Corner]] on [[Boon Island]], where players can connect together, along with {{v2|Emerald}}, and can play multiplayer minigames over the [[Wireless Adapter|wireless communication system]]. This feature becomes usable after the events at [[Kin Island]].

The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the {{player}} beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1|Kanto}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Rocket]] attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 5-6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in {{ci|Vermilion}}. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[HM|Hidden Machines]] available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}}. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].
