You start off in your room in your hometown of New Bark Town. Head downstairs. Before you can leave your house, your mom will stop you and give you the PokéGear, which she brought back from the repair shop. It has several features that you obtain at certain points of the game. Then she asks you what day of the week it is. She will also ask you if it is Daylight Savings time. Select yes or no, and then she'll ask you if you know how to use the phone. Right now you only have her number and Professor Elm's number. Once she's done talking to you, head out and go to Elm's lab. You will see a mysterious character with red hair spying on the inside of Elm's lab. If you talk to him, he'll push you away. Real nice guy…

Professor Elm's Lab

Elm receives an email from his friend Mr. Pokémon and wants you to go see him. He then allows you to choose one of three first partner Pokémon.

♂ ♀ Chikorita Lv. 5 Berry Type: Tackle Growl — —

♂ ♀ Cyndaquil Lv. 5 Berry Type: Tackle Leer — —

♂ ♀ Totodile Lv. 5 Berry Type: Scratch Leer — —

Each one of the three partner Pokémon is holding a Berry.

First Partner Pokémon

Like Bulbasaur, the Grass-type Chikorita is strong against Rock, Ground, and Water-type Pokémon, and is weak against Fire, Bug, Poison, and Flying-type Pokémon. It learns Razor Leaf at level 8, but doesn't learn any other damage-dealing Grass-type moves until much higher levels. Being a Grass-type, it will also have the toughest time against the first Gym. It evolves into Bayleef at level 16 and then Meganium at level 32. Charmander's successor, the Fire-type Cyndaquil is strong against Grass, Bug, and Ice-type Pokémon but has trouble when battling Water, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon. It learns Ember at level 12, but its Fire-type moves are on the weaker side, so it will be difficult to use starting out. It evolves into Quilava at level 14 and then Typhlosion at level 36. Johto's version of Squirtle, the Water-type Totodile is great against Fire, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon, but struggles against Grass and Electric-type Pokémon. It learns several strong attacks, though only a few are Water-type moves. Water-types are more common in Johto than Grass or Fire-types. It also learns the Dark-type move Bite shortly after it evolves. It evolves into Croconaw at level 18 and then Feraligatr at level 30.

As you leave, Elm's aide will give you a Potion.

Now leave and head onto Route 29.

There are no trainers, but what you can do, if it's morning, is head north from the gate to Route 46. Otherwise, head through Route 29.

On Tuesday, you can find Tuscany of Tuesday, one of the Week Siblings. She can only be found after earning the  Zephyr Badge from Falkner in Violet City, as is the case with the other Week Siblings. Tuscany will give you a Pink Bow, which enhances the power of Normal-type moves.

East of the gate to Route 46, in the very northeast corner, is a Potion.

Up on the northwest ledge is a tree with a Berry.

If you go up inside the gate in the middle of the route, you can reach Route 46.

If it's morning, you can sometimes find wild Phanpy. They have a fairly low encounter rate, however. When you're done here, head west to Cherrygrove City.
