The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives the player the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to aid him/her get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. The player (known by default as {{ga|Ethan|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}}, depending on the gender) meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his/her own Pokémon journey, gives him/her a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon his/her return to New Bark Town, the player is informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against); even more so, that very same trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon trainer.

[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts.

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally taking a glimpse at it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with [[Clear Bell]] that the [[Wise Trio]] allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar.

As in all previous games, the main goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Johto, win all eight badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Afterward, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and get the chance to take on its Gym Leaders for their badges. After winning all eight, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mt. Silver]] and get the chance to face the protagonist from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}.

* The chain of events to obtain the {{badge|Rising}} is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.

* The Day-Care Man at the Pokémon Day Care south of Goldenrod City gave an [[Egg Ticket]] which, when taken to the Trade Center at the Pokémon Communication Center, could be traded for an Odd Egg which carried a rare {{Shiny}} [[Baby Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. In the international versions, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the egg himself.
