2. Choosing a starter
Pallet Town.
Walkthrough
Try to walk north out of Pallet Town. Professor Oak stops you at the edge of the tall grass, tells you it is not safe without a Pokémon and leads you back to his lab.
On his table are three Poké Balls: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. Pick one. Your rival then takes the one that is strong against yours, and his choice decides which team he uses for the rest of the story.
Bulbasaur makes the first two gyms easy. Charmander has the hardest start, because the first gym uses Rock types. Squirtle is good against the first gym and neutral against the second.
Differs from the mainline games
There is no level cap and no obedience limit in a normal run. The cap shown on these pages only applies with the level cap run modifier, which lifts at the Hall of Fame.
