Main Walkthrough
Your essential Pokemon GO walkthrough! Learn how to navigate the game, from catching your first Pokemon to becoming a master trainer. Get started on your adventure!
Hey there, future Pokemon Master! Welcome to the main walkthrough for Pokemon GO. This guide is here to help you get started and navigate through the exciting world of Pokemon GO. Think of me as your friendly guide, walking you through everything you need to know to become the best trainer you can be. We'll cover the basics, help you prepare for your journey, and get you ready to catch 'em all!
This walkthrough is designed to be super helpful, with lots of links to jump around if you need quick info on a specific Pokemon, item, or location. Just click on any blue text, and when you're done, hit 'Backspace' to return right where you left off. Easy peasy!
Just a heads-up, I played through the Pikachu version as a male character, so some super specific details for the Eevee version or playing as a female character might be a little different, but don't worry, the core of the game is the same for everyone. Also, we'll be using '$' for in-game currency. And since you're diving into Pokemon GO, I'm going to assume you've got the hang of the basics – like healing your Pokemon, catching them, and training them up. If you need a refresher on those, there are plenty of other resources out there!
