== Introduction ==

[[File:Title Screen RB.png|thumb|Title screen]]

Turn the [[Game Boy]] on. After the intro, press A or Start on the title screen and you'll see the main menu.

Moving the cursor to ''Option'' and pressing A will show three topics.  You don't need to touch them, but it's a good idea to put the ''Text Speed'' to ''Fast''.  Go down to ''Cancel'' and press A, and you'll be back on the main menu.  Select ''New Game'' and press A.

Professor {{Prof|Oak}} appears! He briefly introduces the world of Pokémon and the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} themselves.  Then he asks for your name.

If you don't want any of the preset names, go to ''New Name'' and press A. Here it's a simple case of moving around to the letter you want and pressing A to select it. To remove the last letter, press B. Once you're done entering your name, select ''End'' in the bottom right corner or press START. This stumped a lot of people when the game was first released.

Now you are introduced to your [[rival]]! Choose his name in the same way, and you'll be teleported off to your bedroom in {{to|Pallet}} Town!

The game begins in your bedroom, with you standing in front of your [[SNES]].  First of all, here's a recap of the controls:

To save the game, press START.  Select ''Save'', and then ''Yes''.  When the menu disappears, your progress is saved.  You could then turn off the [[Game Boy]] and start from this point at a later time.

To go downstairs, step on the stairs in the top-right corner of the room. {{ka|Mom}} is sitting at the table, and tells you that Professor {{Prof|Oak}} has been looking for you.  To leave the building, step on the mat along the south wall, and press down on the +Control Pad. Welcome to {{to|Pallet}} Town!

[[File:Pallet Town RBY.png|thumb|250px|Pallet Town]]

{{to|Pallet}} [[Town]] is a rather boring, quaint town, with only three houses.  The house to the west is yours, the one to the east is your rival's house, and the big building to the south is Professor {{Prof|Oak}}'s [[Oak's lab|Lab]].  You can walk all around town and talk to everyone, but Oak is nowhere to be found.  Looks like there's nothing else to do but leave town, so walk into the tall grass north of the town...

From out of nowhere, Oak appears!  He yells at you for trying to leave by yourself, without a Pokémon of your own for defense against the [[wild Pokémon]] roaming around.  He drags you back to the lab, and lets you choose your very first Pokémon.  Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, and some are more challenging to raise than the others.

Once you have chosen a Pokémon, it's your rival's turn; he will always choose the Pokémon with an advantage against yours.  When you turn to leave, he will challenge you to your first {{pkmn|battle}}!

Choosing ''Fight'' will allow you to choose an attack to use against your opponent. Your Pokémon will have two attacks regardless of who you chose. The first will damage the opponent, and the other one will lower one of the opponent's stats.  Keep using the attacking one, either {{m|Tackle}} or {{m|Scratch}}. If your Pokémon starts to lose a lot of HP, you could use that Potion we got out of the PC earlier; go to ''Item'' and it will bring up a list of the items you are holding.  You only have a Potion, so select it and then select your Pokémon. This is the same way you use the Item menu outside of battle. Once you have defeated your rival, you will get {{PDollar}}175, and he will leave. If you win the battle, your Pokémon will gain enough experience to grow to level 6.
