Find Special Pokemon in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen

AntMag.NET

Some Pokemon in the wild are special. One kind of special Pokemon is a shiny Pokemon. These are very, very rare and have a different color than normal Pokemon. They also have a special animation when they are sent in to battle. They are ordinary in every other way however.

Some Pokemon also hold a special condition called Pokerus. This is rarer than a shiny Pokemon and very helpful. This doubles the EVs that you get from Pokemon. It can be spread to all Pokemon in your party and disappears after a few days. If you can store it in your PC, it will stay. What sucks is that you can't tell if a wild Pokemon has this condition, but there's a chance your Pokemon can catch it. If you have questions about EVs, take a look at the hidden stat section.

{2.6} Pokedex Information

The Pokedex in this game has greatly evolved. This time, you can view the Pokemon by their size, weight, height, type, Pokeball, and so on and it's much easier to use if you want to search for Pokemon you have to use in your team. Here's a list of the categories in game order:

Field
Forest
Lake
Ocean
Cave
Mountian
Prairie
Town
Special

{2.7} Tips and Tricks for Beginners

There are some essential things that you should do that are vital in the game. These tips are sure to help beginning players.

Save often. This is a must in every game. Do especially after tough battles and before a legendary or Gym Leader.
When you reach a town, the first thing you should do is go to a Pokemon Center and heal your party unless a guide says not to.
Have at least 10 balls with you. You never know if a shiny or rare Pokemon comes up.
Don't use your Master Ball unless you are facing a legendary that can run or a shiny Pokemon which can selfdestruct.
Have a wide variety of moves so that you can have an attack that is super effective to all types.
Have HM Slaves. Stick worthless HMs on Pokemon you won't use so that your "good" team won't have useless attacks.
Each type of trainer(going by sprite) usually hold specific types of Pokemon. Ex: Hikers usually hold Rock types and Machop/Zubat and have a fat sprite.
Search around in each area of grass for new Pokemon.
Sometimes you will find dark spots on the ground. These are usually hidden items! Press A on the spot to find an item! Usually they are berries that you can only get in Ruby/Sapphire.

{III. Walkthrough}

OK, so here's the bulk of the guide, where most players will want to view. Here's my format:

ROUTE NAME/TOWN NAME

WILD POKEMON | APPEARANCE RATE(FR/LG) | CATCH DIFFICULTY

Pokemon Name | 33%/45% | Easy

Pokemon Name | 33%/20% | Normal

Pokemon Name | 33%/35% | Hard

Route Name/Town Name - The area the chart covers(and the walkthrough!).

Wild Pokemon - The name of the Pokemon that appears there.

Appearance Rate - This is the approximate amount that Pokemon will appear in the specified area. The first number is the appearance rate in Fire Red, the second for Leaf Green. If they are both the same, they will appear as the same number.

Catch Difficulty - How hard it is to catch the Pokemon.

Please note that these are not 100% accurate other than what Pokemon appear there, they're based on what I have seen in the game, not official sources. I also do fishing and Surfing. It's safe to say that Old Rod only hooks Magikarp and the places I don't mention for Surfing and there's water means that there's only Tentacool.

Just a quick reference for those who don't really want to get spoiled about the area or don't want commentary.

Now, that should be about all you need to know. Let's get on with the walkthrough!

{3.1} Pallet Town

Begin your game. Watch the cool new opening video and then start a new game. Scroll through the help menus and listen to Professor Oak, the man who appears on your screen, talk and talk and talk until he is finally finished. There, you'll name your character. After choosing a name, he will ask if you are sure that's your name like you have a mental problem. Choose the top option(Yes) and be on your way. Next, you have to name your rival who you have known for a long time, but remained nameless until now. Name him too and say that you're sure once again(top option). I named my rival Cloud because he looks so much like the Cloud from FFVII. OK, let's begin our adventure now.

After you minimize and appear in your room, go to the top left and press A on the PC. Choose the top option, Withdraw, and press A again on the item (Potion). Close the menu and walk downstairs. Talk to you mom and leave your house through the rectangular mat. Outside, talk to as many people as you please. Visit houses and get used to controls. Now, since there's nothing to do, exit the town by walking to the top above.

Wait, as you exit, Professor Oak stops you! He says some stuff about Pokemon, and then asks you to follow him. Do so and he will lead you
