===Introduction===
The first six pages of the Player's Guide include a full map of the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. They also introduce the new characters and mechanics introduced in the Gold and Silver versions, such as the [[Pokégear]]. These are followed by a basic overview of [[Pokémon battle]]s and methods of catching Pokémon.
===Trainer's Manual===
The Trainer's Manual is the walkthrough of the games and is the bulk of the Player's Guide. It is separated into two sections, each covering the Johto and Kanto halves of the games. Lists of available Pokémon are provided up until the [[Burned Tower]], and maps, locations of items, notable NPCs, and events are also listed for every location.
Each Gym Leader and encounter with [[Silver (game)|the rival]] are also listed. Johto Gym leaders list the Pokémon on each Leader's team, as well as their levels and types; tips and tricks for each Leader are also provided, with recommended Pokémon types and the prize the Leader gives out. For Kanto Gym Leaders, however, only the tips, recommended types, and prizes are listed; teams are not provided. The same principle is used for the rival: his team is listed in the Johto section, but not in the Kanto section.
===Data File===
The Data file contains information on methods of encountering and catching Pokémon; a list of available [[Poké Ball]]s; methods of [[Evolution]]; [[Pokémon breeding]]; version exclusives between {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Gold, and Silver; and other miscellaneous mechanics. Maps of timed events in Johto and Kanto are also provided, including phone calls and trees that hold [[Apricorn]]s and [[Berries]]. Finally, at the end of the Player's Guide, lists of all items, all TMs and HMs, all moves, and the Pokémon covered in the guide are provided.
