Sending to your calculator:

Before sending you will probably want to erase all the memory. Do this by pressing 2nd, MEM, Reset, All. Then send either Red version.83g or Blue version.83g to your calculator. To play, go to programs and select POKEMON2. Do not erase any of the programs (there are 35 of them) or the game will not work. Do not erase Pic8. You also shouldn't have any other programs on your calculator, because this game takes up all the memory

This game is very similar to the GB game. There are two versions (Red and Blue) and not all the pokémon are on one version. The map is exactly the same as the GB game and the pokémon are found in the same places. All the pokémon are in the same order and evolve at the same level as in the GB game. I got all the information from the official Pokémon strategy guide.

Improvements over last game include:
• All 151 pokémon!
• All 8 badges and all the towns
• Many more items
• Many more places to explore
• Ability to hold up to 156 pokémon (150 in the PC and 6 with you)
• Two versions: Red and Blue

II. How to Play

1. Choosing a pokémon - at the beginning of the game, you are given a choice of 3 pokémon. Each pokémon is a different type. Some types are strong against others, and some are weak against them. For example, Charmander is strong against Bulbasaur, but weak against Squirtle. Squirtle is strong against Charmander, but weak against Bulbasaur, and Bulbasaur is strong against Squirtle, but weak against Charmander. After choosing a pokémon, your rival, Gary, will challenge you to a fight. No matter which pokémon you choose, Gary will choose the one that is strong against it. The only way to win this first battle is to use a potion when your pokémon's health is low.
2. Fighting pokémon - There are two types of battles in this game: trainer battles and wild pokémon battles. The only way to get money in this game is to win trainer battles, however you cannot catch trainer's pokémon. You can only catch wild pokémon.
3. Catching pokémon - before you can catch a wild pokémon you need one of your pokémon to fight it and weaken it. If it is weak enough you can use a pokéball and catch it. Pokéballs can be purchased in shops, which are located in most towns.
4. Storing pokémon - you can hold up to 6 pokémon at one time. If you are holding 6 and you catch another one you must deposit it in the PC. The PC is used to store pokémon. There are 25 boxes in the PC, and each one can hold up to 6 pokémon. The PC can hold a total of 150 pokémon. You can access the PC in the pokécenter in any town.
5. Healing pokémon - There are two ways to heal your pokémon. One way is using healing items, which you can purchase, in shops. Although you can use healing items any time, they cost money so you should only use them if you really need to. The best way to heal your pokémon is to visit a pokécenter. The pokécenter heals all your pokémon, and it's free.
6. Gyms - To become a pokémon master, you also need to collect all 8 badges. You win badges by defeating the gym masters in all 8 gyms. After you collect all 8 badges, you must defeat the Elite Four, to become a pokémon master. After defeating a gym master the first time, they will give you a badge, and may give you something else. You can challenge the gym masters as many times as you want, but you will only receive the badge, and other items, the first time. Defeating gyms will also open up new areas of the game, so somewhere you couldn't go in the beginning of the game, you may be able to go once you get a badge.
7. Trading pokémon - Although there are many pokémon in this game, there are some that are only in the other version. Also there are a few points where you will have a choice of pokémon to take, and you will only be able to pick one. To get these pokémon you must trade with someone else who has this game. To trade follow these steps:
   1. Both players go to a pokécenter.
   2. Select Cable Club
   3. Choose the pokémon to trade and follow the instruction given to you.
   4. If it says WAITING... DO NOT press enter
8. Evolving - Most pokémon evolve, or grow into more powerful pokémon. There are three ways for a pokémon to evolve.
   1. The most common way is for it to reach a certain level.
   2. Some pokémon, however, can only evolve when you use special evolution stones on it.
   3. There are four pokémon that can only evolve when you trade them.
