How to Get Past Snorlax in Yellow

"Pokemon Yellow" contains numerous obstacles that block particular paths and force the player to take certain routes to obtain the necessary moves and items to progress in the game. One of these obstacles is Snorlax, a powerful Pokemon with a penchant for sleeping in the middle of narrow paths, such as those west of Celadon City and east of Vermillion City. To wake the Snorlax and get past them, the player needs a special item: the Poke Flute.

  Progress through the game until you beat Erika in Celadon City and obtain the Rainbow Badge. Go to the Game Corner, which is also in Celadon, and examine the poster on the back wall to enter the secret Team Rocket hideout.

Proceed to the next floor of Pokemon Tower.
