Pokemon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle

Items to find: Potion

Are you surprised that I'm making all this fancy stuff as it were a huge and complicated game? Well, I am, too. But if it needs a 100KB+ FAQ, then I say it fits the bill of "complicated." First off, go up to the PC in the corner (stands for "Pokemon Computer") and access the "Item Storage System." Withdraw the "Potion", you'll be using this very soon. Go outside and try to go into the grass to the north. Dr. Oak will come out and warn you that it's too dangerous to go out there without a Pokemon, then bring you to his lab, where you and your friend, Gary (or whatever you chose. I'll use Gary throughout the walkthrough because that is his official name) will be given three Pokeballs, each filled with a Pokemon. Here, you get to pick one that will change the difficulty of the entire game.If you choose Charmander, the fire element, the entire game will be very difficult.

If you choose Bulbasaur, the grass type, it will be medium. To make the game the easiest, choose Squirtle, the water type, the entire game will be very easy, except for about two Gym Leaders, but we'll discuss that later. To make the game super-easy, enter a game-genie code to get ALL of them, or trade with a friend. But I won't mention any game-genie or Gameshark codes, they are the manifestation of Satan himself (joke). Regardless of what you pick, Gary will fight you to test each other's Pokemon.

(if you must ask, I've picked Squirtle, so I'll refer most of my hints to that Pokemon)
