Step by Step Guide to Pokemon LeafGreen

"Pokemon LeafGreen" was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, and is a remake of the very first "Pokemon" games: "Pokemon Red" and "Pokemon Blue." You will catch and train Pokemon in your quest to defeat the Elite Four and become the Pokemon champion. Along the way, you will have to do battle with Team Rocket, an evil organization out to steal the world's Pokemon, your rival and other Pokemon trainers. Knowing the basics of "Pokemon LeafGreen" will allow you to succeed in your journey to become the number one Pokemon trainer.

Instructions

- 1
  Purchase items at any Pokemart, available in each city. The Pokemart is the only building with a blue roof and a Pokeball symbol on the front of it. Speak to the person behind the counter to purchase healing items, Pokeballs to catch Pokemon, and any other items you may need.
- 2
  Walk in the tall grass, in caves, abandoned buildings or through fish to find wild Pokemon. These Pokemon will randomly battle you as you walk. Weaken them using your Pokemon and use a pokeball to catch the wild Pokemon. There are over 300 Pokemon to catch in the game.

  Battle other trainers and wild Pokemon to level up your Pokemon. Upon winning the battle, you are awarded with experience and money. With each level your Pokemon gains, his statistics increase making him stronger, faster and able to take more damage. Evolve your Pokemon into a new form through leveling or by the use of items. You can view all statistics of your Pokemon from the "Pokemon" menu.
