This is a ROM hack of Pokemon Crystal, and you can find it by searching it online. This walkthrough in particular is actually going to be a simple one. As of now, there is a wiki in development, but it at least shows the gym leader teams and the Pokedex by number with a few pages showing Pokemon that can be found. This walkthrough will not go over where Pokemon can be found, you can use the Pokedex's area to find Pokemon if you're stuck with some. This walkthrough will cover the general paths in the game as well as trainer info, new evolutions, and type changes.

TYPE CHANGES

These type changes apply if you are using the SW97 type chart. If you are using the standard one for Gen-2, this information does not apply.

Bug is still super effective against Poison.

Water is not very effective against Electric.

Dark is super effective against Psychic and Ghost, but is not immune to Psychic. Further, it's actually weak to Normal and itself.

Steel does not resist many types like it normally would (for instance it does not resist Grass). It is not weak to Ground or Fire and is resistant to Fighting and Poison (not immune like it would normally be). Steel is actually immune to only itself. Steel is weak to Water and Electric.

— WALKTHROUGH —

Name your character and gender as well as set the clock and you'll be at home. The radio is useful for finding Pokemon swarms, but be sure to check the PC for an important email before you descend to the first floor. You'll get the Pokegear and set the day and DST, as well as name your rival character. The rival character then greets you as you leave home, saying he got an email too. You then get to name Mom.

SILENT TOWN — Forever Peaceful

To the north is Victory Road, a place you'll have to remember for much later. Oak has a lab in the SE, and it even has a back room, but he's not going to be here until you decide to venture towards the grass, where a blue-haired guy stops you and takes you to the back room (in case you're wondering this is actually Blue, Oak's grandson). In the back room you get the Pokedex and can choose your starter: Flambear, Cruize, or Chikorita. The rival picks the type advantage starter and you get Oak's number (I think the starter also always comes with a Berry). Try to leave and the rival stops you.

(rival): (opposing starter) Lv5, P300

The sister afterwards gives you a Map Card, a Potion, and 5 Poke Balls. Now head west.

ROUTE 101

Mons found: Rattata, Pidgey (morning and day), Hoppip (morning and day), Hoothoot (night, trees), Nyanya (night), Spinarak (trees), Exeggcute (trees), Ledyba (trees), Natu (trees)

The catching tutorial is here. The items to the north are a Berry and a Potion. Another Poke Ball is to the south of the entrance to Silent Hills, on a long path that you cannot go through since you need Cut. This just functions as a shortcut for bypassing Silent Hills.

SILENT HILLS — A gathering spot for rising trainers!

Mons found: Rattata, Ledyba (morning, trees), Pidgey (morning and day), Hoppip (morning and day), Caterpie (morning and day), Metapod (morning and day), Weedle (morning and day), Kakuna (morning and day), Spinarak (night, trees), Hoothoot (night, trees), Paramite (night), Exeggcute (trees), Natu (trees)

The south end has two berry trees with Psncureberry and Grn Apricorn. Another berry tree at the north end has a Berry. There's a hidden Ether in a tree to the SW. The NW end has a Potion.

Back on Route 101, there's a Potion to nab, and if you look to the west, you are behind where the Cut tree was. Another Cut tree is near the north gate.

The berry tree near Bill's house has a Wht Apricorn. Get Bill's number from his younger sister. You can visit Falkner's gym, but he's not present yet. You also cannot enter Brass Tower right now. You can detour to Route 102 for catching mons (as well as a PRZCureberry) but a Cut tree blocks further progression.

Fledgling Johnny: Chix Lv6, Hoothoot Lv7, Chix Lv8, P128

Kurt's house is your goal in Pagota City, and it's in the SW. You automatically talk to Kurt, who suggests the Pokemon League challenge. Falkner is also here and tells you to prove your worth at the Brass Tower to receive the Elder's blessing. The tower is now open, as well as Earl's Art House next to it. A hidden Hyper Potion is to the NE. Earl is losing inspiration and wishes to see a Farfetch'd.

At the top is an incense burner and the elder. Talk to him to get the blessing, then leave. Now return to Kurt's house and talk to Falkner. The gym is now open. Kurt will give you a Lure Ball and you can give him Apricorns to make balls with. The process is instantaneous in this game.

Bird Keeper Abe: Spearow Lv12, P288 Bird Keeper Rod: Pidgey Lv10, Hoothoot Lv12, P288

Go to the PokeCenter and talk to the aide to receive the Egg. This hatches into Ballerine. Afterwards, go to Bill's house and talk to him to get HM01 Cut. With it, go back to Route 101 and cut the tree east of the gate for an Ether.

You'll learn that Whitney may not be in her gym right now. Enter the PokeCenter and an old man will ask for your help to find his little granddaughter, who is clearly in the nearby mines. There's a boardwalk but the bridge is destroyed. Go west, past the gym, to Route 120.

You should take the NW ladder. Gym leader Whitney is here looking for the girl too. A hidden X Defend is in the SE corner of this platform. Next ladder leads to a PP Up, an Iron, and a fork. Take the east ladder for a Heart Stone and go back (the other ladder here leads back to B2F, but from a ladder with a boulder in the way). Take the other ladder and get HM04 Strength. Teach it, head back to B1F, then take the SE ladder. Move the cart to the west to find the girl and a Potion. Talking to the girl will have you return to 1F. Before talking to her, go to the NE platform, take the east ladder to TM39 Swift. Return, take the west ladder, get a hidden X Accuracy at the NW corner, then go to the next ladder, then get TM47 Steel Wing. The last item to get is a Revive down the nearby ladder. Return to B1F and talk to the girl, then leave and the grandpa takes you to his home. Talk to him to receive the Itemfinder. Once you leave, a girl runs around because Team Rocket has taken over the aquarium. Challenge the grunts at the entrance first.

The berry tree has a Przcureberry. In front of the mart and just behind the house is a hidden Full Heal.

And you can't enter town, because a guy doesn't want you trampling flowers. Farfetch'd is a catch here (not at night). Catch one, return to Earl's Art House with a Farfetch'd in your party, then talk to him to get an Exp. Share. If you exit and re-enter, you'll be asked about Dratini next.

Next is a Carbos and the next ladder, leading back up to a Mystic Water. That concludes the trip for now.

Return to the Ruins of Alph and remove the whirlpool to find the Omanyte room and a trainer.

Cut the tree to get the Burnt Berry from the berry tree. Team Rocket has blocked off the National Park to the west, their hideout to the SW, and the south route.

Get TM09 Psych Up and meet your rival and the imposter Oak again. If you inspect the machine, you will discover that it is a mind control device for Pokemon, currently at 74%, increasing in power but unable to decrease, and to shut it down you need a password.

The chairman gives you HM05 Rock Smash. One thing you can do here is talk to a green hat-wearing lady to cash in radio points:

Ultra Ball, Full Restore — 2 points Nugget, Rare Candy — 3 points Protein, Iron, Carbos, Calcium, HP Up — 5 points

Your rival talks to you when you leave, mentioning an old man in Alloy City who has interesting stories. This is a hint for something later, but you need the eighth badge for the sidequest in that case. Instead, we'll focus on a different sidequest in Sunpoint City now that we can use Rock Smash.

MAGMA SHAFT

Mons found: Graveler, Magmar, Bomsheal, Rhyhorn, Grimer (1F and B2F), Muk (1F and B2F), Koffing (B1F), Weezing (B1F), Steelix (B2F)

TM44 Rest is on 1F. Next floor, you'll see a boulder which you'll need to shove for later. An Iron is on the west side. Push the boulder into the hole at the east side, fall in, and head east to the next ladder. Another boulder is here, and a hidden Max Potion can be found near the south side. Push the boulder into the hole, follow it, then head east, north, and west to the next ladder. You got another boulder to push, plus a Hyper Potion and Smoke Ball on the way. Fall into the hole, head east, then south along the linear path, getting a Charcoal as you do. A rock SW of there has a hidden Carbos. A Max Potion is before the cave entrance. The cave is a dead end, for now.

Back at Stand City, the Zoo is open, along with the National Park and the south route. Enter the National Park.

This is a shrunken version of Kanto from the original games. Kind of similar to how Dragon Quest 2 shrinks down the entire world of Dragon Quest 1. You start near Lavender Town. If you enter Mr. Fuji's home, he tells you to enter Pokemon Tower. That will be our first trip here. Go upstairs for mons and encounters and such.

Second floor has a Max Repel.

Medium Esther: Marowak Lv42, Kurstraw Lv40, Haunter Lv39, P1560 Medium Muriel: Haunter Lv40, Twinz Lv44, P1760 Medium Ethel: Haunter Lv45, P1800

Sage Wang: Ninetales Lv40, Pangshi Lv41, P1312

Get the Escape Rope to the north. You'll see four mediums in the middle attempting to contain a spirit Pokemon, which is a Pangshi. If you observe the screen north of the Pokemon, you will battle a Lv45 Gengar. After defeating it, the mission here is done. Return to Mr. Fuji to receive a Cleanse Tag. Head west to find the center of the region, comprising Celadon, Vermillion, and Saffron cities. The main amenities are here.

East of the Dept. Store is the Celadon Mansion, the backdoor is still available. At the top, listen to the tale to get TM03 Curse. South of those buildings is the game corner.

Game corner: Left clerk: TM32 Double Team: 1500 coins / TM29 Psychic: 3500 coins / TM15 Hyper Beam: 7500 coins Middle clerk: Pikachu: 2222 coins / Dratini: 5555 coins / Wolfan: 8888 coins Right clerk: Pikachu, Clefairy, and Jigglypuff posters: all 1800 coins / NES, Super NES, and Virtual Boy: all 1800 coins / Big Onix and Big Lapras: 2500 coins Game Corner counter clerk: 50 coins: P1000 / 500 coins: P10000

The Game Corner itself has a kid who wants to play video games instead, just east of the entrance. Talk to him to have him head to the video game place. Enter Silph Co.; you cannot progress upstairs but the guard gives you an Up-Grade. A restaurant is north of Silph Co, and you can inspect the NW bin to get a Mysteryberry. The other house here has a man who gives you a Leftovers. The Vermillion docks are south of the PokeCenter and have some trainers and a Star Piece.

Sailor Kent: Krabby Lv45, Kingler Lv50, P1600 Sailor Ernest: Machoke Lv39, Machoke Lv40, Poliwrath Lv42, P1680 Sailor Sven: Sneasel Lv40, Dewgong Lv38, Anchorage Lv40, P1600

South of Silph Co. is Diglett's Cave and a trainer.

Psychic Phil: Exeggutor Lv39, Kadabra Lv42, P1344

A lone rock inside Diglett's Cave has a Max Revive. Leave through the other side, enter the Pewter Museum to the north, but from the end with the cut tree so that you can get an Old Amber. Nothing in Mt. Moon or the Sea Cottage (though there is a man who likes Magikarp here). The Power Plant has a Carbos, an HP Up, TM41 Thunderpunch, and a Rare Candy. Where you would find Zapdos originally, there will instead be Lt. Surge.

Leader Lt. Surge: P4600 Raichu Lv44 — Thunder Wave, Quick Attack, Thunderbolt, Thunder Electrode Lv40 — Screech, Double Team, Swift, Explosion Magneton Lv40 — Lock-On, Double Team, Swift, Zap Cannon Electrode Lv40 — Screech, Double Team, Swift, Explosion Electabuzz Lv46 — Quick Attack, Thunderpunch, Light Screen, Thunder

He gives you a Pichu if you have room in your party. Next is Rock Tunnel, which you can enter from either side. This one will assume you have entered near Lavender Town. You may not have Flash, but it should not be difficult to see the layout. From the south side, there is an Elixer, a Calcium, an X Defend (east of where the Calcium was, between rocks). Next floor, go south all the way first for a hidden Max Potion. The other items are a PP Up and a Revive. Keep going to find an Iron. The last area (first area if you are going from the Power Plant) has a hidden X Accuracy.

Surf south of Vermillion docks to find TM43 Rock Head. West is cycling road but you can walk on it.

Biker Zeke: Koffing Lv40, Koffing Lv42, Magmar Lv39, P1248 Biker Charles: Koffing Lv39, Charmeleon Lv40, Weezing Lv40, P1280

The Safari Zone afterwards is now completely free, no money or Safari balls to use. An Ultra Ball is here. East of this area is the Kanto Battle Club. You'll get a Battle Pass for talking to the man here. You can talk to someone to battle them at the east side of the upper floor for battling. I believe this changes based on the day.

On a Sunday: Fledgling Earnest: Tangtrip Lv10, Rinring Lv10, Phanpy Lv10, P176

On a Monday: Youngster Jimmy: Ekans Lv20, Rattata Lv20, Natu Lv21, P336

On a Tuesday: Lass Michelle: Skiploom Lv30, Flaaffy Lv30, Ponyta Lv31, P744

On a Wednesday: Sportsman Manny: Dodrio Lv40, Magneton Lv40, Turban Lv40, Bellrun Lv41, P328

To the south are Seafoam Islands. There's a trainer outside.

Fisher Andre: Gyarados Lv39, Seaking Lv38, Qwilfish Lv40, P1600

Inside (assuming you entered from the east side), get the Pearl, which is on the second floor, before surfing. Surf to the NE platform to get a Heart Stone. Surf to the NW platform to get a Water Stone and another Pearl.

Head west from there to Cinnabar and enter the research lab. The right door leads to the fossil reviver.

The Trainer House has Cal, though I am unsure how this place would end up with the Mystery Gift option used.

PKMN Trainer Cal: P4000 Meganium Lv40 — Leech Seed, Reflect, Light Screen, Petal Dance Dynabear Lv40 — Flamethrower, Crunch, Double Team, Rest Aquarius Lv40 — Body Slam, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Safeguard Umbreon Lv40 — Toxic, Moonlight, Sludge Bomb, Bite Skarmory Lv40 — Steel Wing, Protect, Drill Peck, Whirlwind Donphan Lv40 — Earthquake, Rock Slide, Flail, Scary Face

You can get a Level Ball in Oak's old lab in Pallet Town. Enter Victory Road to the west side of the Kanto Region and get a Full Heal from a lone rock to the west. A Revive and another Full Heal are to the north. The second floor has an HP Up.

Cooltrainer Gaven: Victreebel Lv38, Kingler Lv38, Flareon Lv40, P1920 Cooltrainer Beth: Rapidash Lv41, Ampharos Lv42, P2016

Cooltrainer Carl: Persian Lv40, Mr. Mime Lv39, Bellrun Lv40, P1920 Cooltrainer Kenzie: Pidgeot Lv39, Arcanine Lv40, Gyarados Lv41, P1968

On the third floor, head north on main ground, then west all the way and into the hole to fall down to a Protein. The rock next to it has a Max Potion. Jump east to return to the third floor. The raised ledge leads to one trainer as well as a Hyper Potion.

Cooltrainer Ally: Dodrio Lv40, Magneton Lv43, Slowking Lv42, P2016 Cooltrainer Everit: Hitmonlee Lv38, Hitmonchan Lv39, Golem Lv40, P1920

The exit leads to the Indigo Plateau gym. Yep, it's a gym here, and Red himself is the gym leader. But at this point, he's not here, and you need to find other trainers to battle. So battle the trainers here for now.

Cooltrainer Fran: Seadra Lv44, Gelania Lv45, P2160 Cooltrainer Mike: Politoed Lv43, Machamp Lv43, Arcanine Lv44, P2112 Cooltrainer Paul: Starmie Lv43, Lickilord Lv43, Electabuzz Lv45, P2160 Cooltrainer Lola: Numbpuff Lv43, Rhydon Lv43, Magmar Lv45, P2160

Attempt to leave and Red shows up.

You now have eight badges. There's a route between Kanto and your hometown that you can explore right now.

ROUTE 115

Mons found: Raticate, Graveler, Doduo (morning and day), Dodrio (morning and day), Arbok (morning and day), Tauros (morning and day), Noctowl (night), Murkrow (night), Quagsire (night), Marill (surf), Goldeen (surf), Seaking (surf), Magikarp (fishing), Krabby (fishing), Kingler (fishing), Hoothoot (trees), Spinarak (trees), Ledyba (trees), Exeggcute (trees), Natu (trees)

Cooltrainer Megan: P2208 Bulbasaur Lv42 — Take Down, Leech Seed, Poison Powder, Razor Leaf Ivysaur Lv44 — Take Down, Leech Seed, Poison Powder, Razor Leaf Venusaur Lv46 — Body Slam, Sleep Powder, Razor Leaf, Sludge Bomb

Bird Keeper Jose: Farfetch'd Lv44, Madame Lv46, P1104

Talk to the man at the end and he reveals he is rigging the rocks to blow. After they are gone, you will get HM07 Waterfall. Silent Town is now accessible from the Kanto Region, now it's time for some minor backtracking before we continue.

First, enter Oak's lab in Silent Town and talk to him to get a Master Ball.

Next go to Sanskrit Town and enter the waterfall to get to the Tidal Grotto.

Mons found (Tidal Grotto): Slowbro, Golduck, Turban, Golbat, Poliwhirl, Anchorage (surf), Dratini (surf, 1F), Dragonair (surf, 2F), Magikarp (fishing), Gupgold (fishing), Goldeen (fishing), Seaking (fishing)

Right now, there's actually nothing of note here, but you can figure out how to deal with the currents and whirlpools for later. Let's go to Alloy City next. Talk to the man in the house west of the Fighting Dojo to listen to the legend. Depending on your game, this will be either Ho-Oh, which is at Brass Tower, or Lugia, which is at Whirl Islands. You can actually get both regardless of the hack you are playing, but the order will differ. Since I played Silver '97 Reforged, this will cover getting Lugia first, and Ho-Oh will be talked about much later.

In Whirl Islands, head east, then north to the ladder. Head SW, enter the water, scale the waterfall, then go down the waterfall to the west and go all the way east to get to the B2F and an Escape Rope. On B2F, head all the way west first and north to get a Max Elixer. Backtrack and take the ladder to enter a small room with a Nugget. Return and surf, going east to a small island to get a Full Restore. Now go down the waterfall and head all the way SE to get TM36 Sludge Bomb. Head all the way west to get a Max Revive, then surf north to the B3F ladder. Take it down and go down the long waterfall, picking up an Escape Rope at the bottom. Three men are at the cave entrance, including Kurt and the man from Alloy City. Enter and encounter Lugia Lv45. You should catch it. Afterwards, return to Alloy City and talk to the man again, who mentions the three legendary beasts. They now inhabit locations you have visited earlier.

First, head east of Alloy City and go to the Ampere Cavern, which'll be across a pond if you remember. Head through the first floor and on B1F, go until you see some rocks to smash. Smash them and you will find the passage to Raikou Lv40.

Next go to Sanskrit Town and enter Tidal Grotto. This time we will go through the whole thing. Go down to the floor with currents, take the currents going up, the next one going up, and the next one going up. Go down, then up, then enter the whirlpool. Head one tile north of the next whirlpool and surf east into the current. Head down next, enter the whirlpool, immediately go down, then up, then left, then into the third whirlpool. Land and challenge Suicune at Lv40. The whirlpool here immediately brings you back to Sanskrit Town.

Now to Sunpoint City and the Magma Shaft. Look back in the walkthrough if you have not entered this area yet, but if you have, the boulders will have already been placed in the lava on the last floor and all you gotta do is enter the SW entrance to find Entei Lv40.

We're almost ready for the league. Go back to Silent Town and head north to get through the badge checkpoint. You will enter a small section known as Crown Pass. There are no Pokemon here, but you can get a hidden Full Restore in a rock to the west, and an X Special in a rock on the east side. But more importantly, you will have a rival battle when you proceed.

(rival): P2820 Madame Lv43 — Swords Dance, Slash, Fly, Agility Bellrun Lv44 — Headbutt, Bite, Double Team, Slash Bomsheal Lv44 — Double Team, Bubblebeam, Flame Wheel, Fire Spin Raitora Lv45 — Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Mud Slap, Slash Pangshi Lv45 — Pain Split, Shadow Ball, Psybeam, Body Slam Meganium Lv47 — Synthesis, Leech Seed, Razor Leaf, Body Slam (Cruize) Dynabear Lv47 — Smokescreen, Crunch, Quick Attack, Flamethrower (Chikorita) Aquarius Lv47 — Iron Tail, Icy Wind, Surf, Body Slam (Flambear)

This is the last stop before climbing Mt. Fuji where the league is, and yes there's a Victory Road to go to here. Before entering, heal and stock up and enter the west house to get a Scope Lens from a woman here. The big building is the trainer house, and you can first get TM42 Dream Eater from the SE woman. The NW guy mentions the types you can expect from the main opponents in the league: Ice, Poison, Ghost, Ground, and Dragon.

Back home, there's a package right next to you. This gives you the Normal Box. Open the bag and use the Normal Box to get a trophy for your home. Move one step and Oak will call you to go to the lab. Talk to him and he mentions that you can now travel to the Southwest Islands by going to Westport City Docks. You will receive an S.S. Ticket to head there.

GLITCH: I think Oak's dialogue is repeated after getting the S.S. Ticket for some reason.

But before boarding the boat to the southwest island, you can rematch the gym leaders of Nihon at any time.

We'll hold off on Elite Four rematches until later, and of course you don't have to do the gym leader rematches until later as well, but they are here for reference. Head to Westport and board the ship at the docks.

S.S. AQUA

Your cabin is in the NW, with a PC and a bed. Battle the trainers in the other cabins.

Go to the lower deck, talk to the sailor, and then go to the cabin next to yours.

Now the lower deck can be explored.

Juggler Fritz: Mr. Mime Lv48, Magmar Lv48, Kadabra Lv48, P1920 Sailor Jeff: Raticate Lv50, Raticate Lv50, P2000 Picnicker Debra: Seaking Lv48, Anchorage Lv50, P1000

The captain's room is next. He says that the fuel line got damaged, meaning we will be stuck on the Southwest Islands until we can fix the S.S. Aqua. He mentions that someone in Kume City can help with this.

They say the S.S. Aqua only sets sail for Westport on Wednesdays and Sundays. This place has a community pool. Enter the house next to it to finally get the Super Rod. There's swimmers in the pool, but no one to battle. One of the swimmers can give you a free Squirtle though. Head east first instead of south, then go north to the Battle Tower. You can participate how you wish, but I don't believe this has changed from Crystal's Battle Tower. You can get TM46 Thief from the SW guy outside. When ready, let's head east in the guardhouse.

Next item is a Max Revive.

Super Nerd Markus: P1664 Slowking Lv52 — Amnesia, Psychic, Surf, Strength

A Nugget is in the NE corner. Head south from there, west, then up two steps to the ladder. This room we will go to later for a legendary encounter, but you can get a hidden Brightpowder by inspecting the NW corner. Back in the main cave, head SW to the rock formations and get the Escape Rope and Iron. We're done for now, let's head west from Seaside Path.

Aside from the emporium, there's only the Castle Mountain here, where people talk about shady people coming in at nighttime as well as a ghost of a woman and a green dragon. Time to inspect that place.

Two rooms to the left and right. Three rocks in the lobby have Brick Pieces, while one west of the entrance has a Star Piece. To the left is a dining hall with some leftover food, which is Leftovers. Enter the right room and you will see Team Rocket grunts, who flee to the north. There's a Linking Cord to the SE. Head north to find a Revive at the east end of a long hall. Fight the grunts as you go west. A hidden Star Piece is in a rock south of the first grunt, and another lone rock afterwards has a Brick Piece.

Rocket Grunt: Golbat Lv60, P2400

The lobby was blocked off before, but you can enter through the south door now. Another Brick Piece is hidden in a rock left of that entrance, and an Escape Rope is after the second grunt. There's yet another Brick Piece in a rock after that.

Rocket Grunt: Kadabra Lv54, Arbok Lv53, Gelania Lv54, P2160 Rocket Grunt: Raticate Lv52, Hypno Lv54, P2160

You can enter the dining hall to the south now as well. To the north is a new hole. Use Strength and Surf to reach the NW corner which has a Linking Cord. Go to the NE to continue in the castle and get three Brick Pieces and a Star Piece from rocks as well as a Steel Shell and an Ultra Ball.

Two paths to take. Taking the left one leads to a treasure room by climbing up the tower.

Rocket Grunt: Raticate Lv54, Grotess Lv55, P2200

Rocket Grunt: Magneton Lv53, Electrode Lv54, P2160 Rocket Grunt: Rhydon Lv52, Weezing Lv54, Nidoking Lv55, P2200

The treasure room has a bed to the right side that you can heal with. The items are eight Nuggets. Now let's climb the right tower. Get the Snakeskin (prevents poison) first.

Rocket Grunt: Skarmory Lv55, Muk Lv54, Jynx Lv55, P2200

A Rare Candy is on the second floor of the right tower.

After beating the executive, you'll get dropped to a new floor below. Follow the linear path, getting an Escape Rope as you do, and go south at the fork you come to to get a King's Rock. Return to the fork and head north to leave. What now? Return to the right tower and talk to the executive again, who springs a trap...on herself. Follow her down the hole back to the basement and talk to her again. This will cause the green dragon to show up. It's a shiny Dragonite and a wild encounter at Lv60. Now you're done here. Head back to Nago Village and head south.

A hidden Max Potion is in the NW corner of the second grass patch. Cut the tree on the way to the south gatehouse to get a Protein. We'll detour to Charred Summit now.

CHARRED SUMMIT

Mons found: Bomsheal, Houndoom, Weezing, Graveler, Rhyhorn, Magmar, Magikarp (fishing), Gupgold (fishing), Goldeen (fishing), Seaking (fishing), Hoothoot (trees outside), Spinarak (trees outside), Ledyba (trees outside), Exeggcute (trees outside), Natu (trees outside)

You need Surf and Waterfall here. Before going up the waterfall, head to the NW corner of water and find a lone rock containing a Hyper Potion. Scale the waterfall and head east for an Ether. The NE corner has a Max Revive. You can then climb the summit, but there's nothing for now. We'll be back at some point. Back on Meridian Path, head through the south gatehouse.

RYUKYU CITY [RYUK] - The Southwest Islands' shining gem.

North of the gatehouse you came out of is the Arboretum. I don't believe you can catch Pokemon in the grass, however you can get a free Bulbasaur from the owner. West of there, a trainer wants to trade a Skarmory for your Clefairy if you have one. No way into the theater or hotel rooms yet, you need a Room Pass, and you may need to get the S.S. Aqua repaired before doing that. The last thing here is an unofficial gym. This gym actually will have the type that has an advantage over your starter.

If your starter was Flambear:

  • Lass Linda: Starmie Lv50, Seaking Lv52, P1248
  • Youngster Jason: Numbpuff Lv50, Quagsire Lv52, P832
  • Pokefan Trevor: Rayleep Lv53, Omastar Lv55, Blastoise Lv56, Grotess Lv56, P4480 (water team)

  • Youngster Jason: Houndoom Lv50, Flareon Lv52, P832
  • Pokefan Trevor: Charizard Lv53, Magmar Lv55, Rapidash Lv56, Bomsheal Lv56, P4480 (fire team)

  • Pokefan Trevor: Vileplume Lv53, Belmitt Lv55, Bellossom Lv56, Victreebel Lv56, P4480 (grass team)

All of Trevor's mons hold a Gold Berry. Trevor then gives you an egg. This will hatch into the starter that corresponds to his type (Cruize if Water, Flambear if Fire, Chikorita if Grass). Now let's go south.

URASOE PARK [URAP]

Mons found: Exeggcute, Nidorina, Chansey, Scyther, Pinsir, Sunflora (morning and day), Tuhead (night)

We can choose to head left or right. Kume City is to the left, so we might as well get the repairs done now. Head left.

KERAMA STRAIT [KERA]

Mons found: Tentacool (surf and fishing), Tentacruel (surf and fishing), Anchorage (surf and fishing), Magikarp (fishing), Corasun (fishing)

In the PokeCenter, you can trade a Haunter for a man's Xatu. The big house is the social house and a girl there is one of the ones who you can invite to the video game house in Nihon. The berry trees have Ice Berry and Mint Berry. What you are here for is the Fuel Line, so enter the westernmost building and talk to the man to get it for free. Might as well fly back to Amami Town and give the dockworker the Fuel Line now. Board the ship and go all the way to the captain's room. Talk to the captain to receive a Metal Coat. As a reminder, the S.S. Aqua can only transport you on Wednesdays and Sundays, however now that you have repaired the ship, there are two new characters waiting at the docks, both with Abras, allowing you to teleport to the Southwest Islands or Nihon however you wish.

Let's get some loose ends now that the ship is repaired. Return to the video game house (east of Westport) and if you have recruited three people to come here, there will actually be two more customers. Talk to the owner and you will get an egg. This egg, I believe it hatches into the starter that is weak to the one you chose (for example, my starter was Flambear, therefore the egg I got hatched Chikorita).

After fixing the S.S. Aqua, the other legendary bird Pokemon will be available. As I have played Silver '97 Reforged, this bird is Ho-Oh in the Brass Tower. Just climb to where the elder is and take another set of steps to find it at Lv70. Of course, if you are playing Gold '97 Reforged, you encountered Ho-Oh already, therefore it is Lugia which is now available in your game. Refer to my instructions on navigating the deeper part of Whirl Islands (between Routes 115 and Crown City) in order to get to Lugia in that case.

Go back to the Southwest Islands and if you take the S.S. Aqua from Amami to Westport, you will find new trainers to battle.

All sidequests done after repairs, so let's go back to Kume City and first trek through Iced Cavern.

ICED CAVERN [ICED]

Mons found: Golbat, Dewgong, Wolfan, Jynx (morning and day), Sneasel (night), Slowpoke (1F, surf), Slowbro (B1F, surf), Quagsire (1F), Warwolf (B1F), Magikarp (fishing), Krabby (fishing), Kingler (fishing), Seadra (fishing)

Up first to get TM40 Defense Curl. Take the ladder to the north to get a Carbos, then return and surf SE.

  • Super Nerd Hugh: Seadra Lv41, Warwolf Lv42, P1344

The ladder here leads to a PP Up. Now leave and surf to the NW island, where you can get a Full Restore from a rock before the next pond. Surf across and get the Elixer. Descend the ladder and go up to the small rock to get a Max Revive. Head east next to get a Hyper Potion, then return to the main river and surf up. At the ice to slide, go to the NE to find a Dragon Scale and another ladder. The ladder leads to a Max Ether. Return and head SE, going to the NE first in the river. At the NE corner is an Escape Rope and a ladder that doesn't lead anywhere. Go south to get a Max Potion, a Rare Candy, and another ladder, this one leading to a Full Restore. The last ladder is west of here, leading to another ladder leading to an empty room, for now. We're done here at the moment. Set sail southward from Kume City.

FORKED STRAIT [FORK]

Mons found: Tentacool (surf and fishing), Tentacruel (surf and fishing), Anchorage (surf and fishing), Magikarp (fishing), Corasun (fishing)

The second island you go to has a Lure Ball.

According to the wiki, you need to have repaired the S.S. Aqua to proceed through the checkpoint, which if you are following this walkthrough, you've already done this. Rainbow Island is to the west, while Tropical Island is to the east. Blue is said to be at Rainbow Island, so pay him a visit.

RAINBOW ISLAND [RAIN]

Blue is in the middle, talk to him to hear his research. He will go into the NE cave, which will require Waterfall to access. Talk to him again to hear him say that you need Ho-Oh and Lugia for a certain ritual. If you have followed the walkthrough, you have them both. Put them in your party and stand on the part of the waterfall opposite of Blue (the left side). After the cutscene, head out to notice things are more rainbow-colored. Go to the north island to talk to Blue. Amazed at your work, he requests a battle.

Beating Blue causes the game credits to roll, and you will be back home, this time with a new package. This has a Gorgeous Box. This has another trophy for your room. Return to the Forked Strait and this time go east to Tropical Island.

TROPICAL ISLAND [TROP]

Surf to the east beach and the Slowking tells you to enter the north jungle. Do so to find Mew! It will run off. Go through the jungle to the NE end to leave, then go NE to find Mew again, causing it to run off. Go west, up one set of steps, then west to find Mew again. Follow this path SW then NW to get to Mew a fourth time. Return to the jungle afterwards and find Mew in the NW corner. Leave the jungle to the south and find Mew at the north end of the beach. Go through the jungle to the other side and this time, climb two sets of steps, then north through tall grass to find Mew. Finally, head to the mountain to the west side and you can finally encounter Mew at the top at Lv50. The southern islands are finished, but there's still the stretch east of Urasoe Trail unfinished. Let's finish that side up now.

NANJO FOREST [NANJ]

Mons found: Aipom, Parasect, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Fearow (morning and day), Sunflora (morning and day), Murkrow (night), Noctowl (night, trees), Poliwhirl (surf and fishing), Golduck (surf), Seaking (surf), Magikarp (fishing), Poliwag (fishing), Hoothoot (trees), Caterpie (trees), Metapod (trees), Butterfree (trees), Weedle (trees), Kakuna (trees), Beedrill (trees)

Go to the lake to see a kid and his brother collecting trash from the lake. He asks you to come back some time later and he will share something with you. What does this mean? Well, you need to have both Ho-Oh and Lugia in your party for this. Put them in and talk to the guy again to get the Tri-Wing! This will help in getting three new legendaries in places we have already explored, so let's head to those locations right now. First is Joule Cave (south of Amami and to the east); head to the innermost part to find Zapdos. Go to Charred Summit (east of Ryukyu) and surf and waterfall your way to the ladder which leads to the summit, where Moltres is. Finally, enter Iced Cavern (Kume City) and go along the river to the SE, taking the SW ladder to eventually get to Articuno. All birds are Lv40. With that, the legendaries are more or less done. Return to Nanjo Forest and trek across the water to the exit.

GREAT EAST STRAIT [GEST]

Mons found: Corasun (surf and fishing), Anchorage (surf and fishing), Tentacruel (surf and fishing), Magikarp (fishing), Tentacool (fishing)

You're gonna need Whirlpool for this area. The white island has a Nugget.

Mons found: Tentacool (surf and fishing), Tentacruel (surf and fishing), Corasun (surf and fishing), Magikarp (fishing), Anchorage (fishing), Spearow (trees), Aipom (trees), Ekans (trees), Pinsir (trees)

Enter the crop field at the south side of the ranch. A hidden Miracleberry is at the SW end, a Mysteryberry north of the farmer, and a Gold Berry two spaces from him, a Bitter Berry one space up and two right from there. Go to Geoffrey's summer home and to the patio (you can surf there) to talk to him and get Berry Juice. Go to the ranch houses to find Moomoo the Miltank in need of 7 apples. You can rest by talking to the woman in the other house. The Apple Orchard is a short surf to the north.

APPLE ORCHARD [APPL]

Mons found: Tentacool (surf and fishing), Tentacruel (surf and fishing), Corasun (surf and fishing), Magikarp (fishing), Anchorage (fishing), Spearow (trees), Aipom (trees), Ekans (trees), Pinsir (trees)

There they are, the eight apple trees. However the owner does mention you should sell some to the mainland. I don't think that's gonna do anything. Just pick the apples and return to Moomoo in Daito Ranch. You just need seven, and then you can now buy Moomoo Milk from the owner for P500.

Anyways, that's the Southwest Islands fully covered. I have already covered basically everything, including gym leader rematches, but there's also the Elite Four and Champion to rematch as well, so we're going to do that now.
