The Map Mode
The Map Mode is a mode that changes the "places" where Pokémon appear. In the map are places such as "Pallet Town" and "Viridian Forest." Different Kinds of Pokémon will appear depending on the place, so in order to collect all the Pokémon, you must move to different places in the Map Mode.
The Map is displayed in the center panel. At the start of the game, the first place is selected from Area 1 by the Slots. While some of the same places will appear on both the Red and Blue Fields, the Pokémon are different. For instance, on the Red Field Oddish and Mankey will appear in Cerulean City, while on the Blue Field Bellsprout and Meowth will appear there.
~NOTE:~ In the Catch 'em Mode, many Pokémon other than those listed below will appear. Among those that appear, some will appear only on the Red Field or only on the Blue Field.
