Old man (Kanto): Difference between revisions

At first, he is very grumpy and will not let the player pass through to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. This is just a barrier in the game, so the player will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers {{key|III|Oak's Parcel}} to [[Professor Oak]].

After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In Red and Blue, he carries a total of 50 Poké Balls in his [[Bag]] and uses one to catch a {{p|Weedle}}. In Yellow, he has just one Poké Ball and fails to catch a {{p|Rattata}}; he then goes to the Poké Mart to buy more and agrees to repeat the tutorial and successfully catch the Rattata after the player enters and leaves the Poké Mart. In FireRed and LeafGreen, he also only has one Poké Ball and will give the player a {{key|III|Teachy TV}}, which contains additional video tutorials provided by his grandson, [[Primo]], in his ''Poké Dude Show''.
