Introduction
The first game I ever remember getting was Pokemon Yellow for the original Gameboy™. If memory serves, it even came with the legendary yellow version of that awesome handheld console.
Clearly, times have moved on, and over time, I became rusty and lost my passion for this amazing series.
Upon starting PokeMMO, I had no idea what to do in Pallet Town, even though I must have done the same thing a hundred times before on my little old Gameboy™.
So, this guide is dedicated to those of us who havn't played in a while, or might even be completely new to the series, and want to begin playing as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Guide
We begin in our hero's bedroom in Pallet Town. I assume you've chosen the name Ziggy Stardust for your character. If you havn't, go back and start again. How could your first thought be anything other than Ziggy Stardust?
Now that your hero is correctly named, proceed directly out of Pallet Town. Ignore the fact that you're told Oak is waiting next door. He will only present himself to you when you attempt to leave the Town.
He will drag you back to his lab, where he will proceed to perform hideous experiments upon you. Just kidding, he gives you your very own Pokemon, from a selection of three. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard.
I suggest selecting Charizard, because who wants to have SOUPERDOOPER VINE POWERS or WATERY POWERS. All the effectiveness of taking a whizz on your opponent, when you could be rocking a mother****ing DRAGON up in this place.
Now, your rival will throw a tantrum when you attempt to leave and fight you. Clearly, you should whoop his ass and make him cry like a hussy. Upon doing so, he'll throw a uguufit.
From here, simply head on out of town and go level up that Pokemon of yours! Once you've had fun whaling on rats and chickens, head up to the Viridian City, and visit the Pokecenter to heal up your likely bruised and battered Pokemon, before moving on to the Pokemart. Here, you'll enter a scripted sequence and acquire a package for Oak.
Immediately take it back to Oak, and you'll recieve a Pokedex and five free Pokeballs! Hooray for free stuph!
Your rival will throw another fit of angst and run home to get a map.
Simply leave the lab, go to the building North of the lab and collect a map from the girl in the building.
Congratulations! You've started playing Pokemon!
Enjoy your new non-existant life style!
Have fun!
