How to Catch Chikorita in Pokemon

While none of the Pokemon games have an opportunity for players to catch a wild Chikorita, Pokemon Emerald for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance offers the chance to be awarded one. To get Chikorita, you will have to meet a set of requirements before Professor Birch will award you with the Pokemon. Pokemon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold or Soulsilver also offer the opportunity to select a Chikorita as your starting Pokemon at the beginning of the game. While attaining a Chikorita in Pokemon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold or Soulsilver is an automatic task, it is quite difficult in Pokemon Emerald.
