and size. Select to find a Pokemon.

more.

2. Starting the game
Now that you've learned the
controls, hit the Power button to on your GBA, SP or DS. (I played this with my
DS) Start the R/S game and you're on your way to becoming a Pokemon Master.
a.
Naming your character and choosing your
gender
Prof. Birch will appear on the
screen. He'll ask you if you're a boy or girl, then your name. A lot more
talking, and the screen will fade...
b. Truck Ride
... and shifts to you riding in
a truck! (Boy it's stuffy...) After some time, the truck will stop, and head out
into the bright sunshine by using you Directional Pad for walking for the first
time...
3. LittleRoot Town
Your Mom will greet you warmly
and take you inside your new home. Pokemon are moving furniture in there. You'll
have to go upstairs to check out your new room as well as setting the clock.
a. Setting the Clock
It's simple. Just twirl your
Clock Arms left and right with your Directional Pad, then hit A. You'll be asked
if the time is correct. Of course! After that, Mom will come in, then go
downstairs again. Do what she says, then go down to watch some TV...
Mom will tell you to come look
at the TV. In future, TV can be useful. We'll cover that in the Bonus section.
Some talking, and you'll have to greet your new neighbour...
b. Meeting your Rival
If you're a boy, your rival is a
girl called May. If you're a girl, your rival is a boy called Brendan. No diff,
actually. You'll have to walk to the next house, Boy's house is on the left and
Girl's is on the right. Head up, and find your rival looking at the PC. Talk to
him/her (I'll refer to rival as a boy) and then get your first partner at our
next destination! Walk out of the house and head up...
4. Route 101
