The Ultimate Pokemon Ash Gray Walkthrough

Getting Started: Choosing Your Starter & Early Game Strategy

Your journey begins with the crucial decision: choosing your starter Pokémon. Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle each offer unique advantages and disadvantages. Bulbasaur's Grass/Poison typing provides early-game advantages against Rock and Ground types, while Charmander's Fire type is effective against Grass and Ice. Squirtle, with its Water type, excels against Fire and Ground.

The optimal starter often depends on personal preference and playstyle. However, for a smoother early game progression, Charmander is a strong choice due to its effectiveness against the many early-game Grass-type Pokémon.

Early-game objectives focus on building a solid team, exploring Pallet Town, and venturing into Viridian Forest.

Tips for effective early-game battling: Use potions strategically, exploit type weaknesses, and level up regularly.
Important items to collect early: Poké Balls, Potions, and the Pokédex are crucial for early success.
Strategies for catching common early-game Pokémon: Use a higher-level Pokémon to weaken the target before using Poké Balls.

Conquering Kanto Gyms: A Gym Leader Guide

Each Gym Leader presents a unique challenge requiring strategic team building and type matchup knowledge.

Brock (Rock): Brock's Rock-type Pokémon are weak to Water and Grass moves. Consider using a high-level Squirtle or Bulbasaur.
Misty (Water): Misty's Water-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Electric and Grass moves. A strong Charmander or evolved Grass-type Pokémon is recommended.
Lt. Surge (Electric): Lt. Surge's Electric-type Pokémon are weak to Ground moves. Consider using a Ground-type Pokémon or one with a high-level attack.
(Continue with strategies for all Gym Leaders: Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni, and the rest.) Remember to always check the Pokémon each leader uses and utilize your knowledge of type advantages to build the best team.

Mastering the Elite Four & Champion Showdown: The Final Battle

The Elite Four and the Champion, Blue, represent the pinnacle of Kanto's Pokémon trainers. This final battle requires meticulous planning and a powerful, well-balanced team.

Lorelei (Ice): Use Fire and Fighting types to overcome Lorelei's Ice-type Pokémon.
Bruno (Fighting): Utilize Psychic, Flying, and Fairy types to counter Bruno's Fighting-type team.
Agatha (Ghost): Agatha's Ghost-type Pokémon are weak to Ghost and Dark-type attacks.
Lance (Dragon): Ice and Dragon-type moves are effective against Lance's Dragon-type team. Consider using Pokémon like Lapras or Dragonite.
Champion Blue: Blue's team is diverse, so prepare for a variety of types and strategies. A balanced team with high-level Pokémon is essential for victory.

Catching all 151 Pokémon is a rewarding challenge. This section focuses on providing locations and methods for completing your Pokédex.

Locations of rare Pokémon: Mewtwo's location is a well-known secret, requiring some exploration and possibly a Master Ball. Mew, if included in your ROM, requires other techniques.
