Tips
- Once you have returned the Machine Part to the Power Plant, a gentleman on the Radio Tower's ground floor gives you the Expansion Card, which adds Kanto stations, including the Poké Flute channel, to your radio.
- The Poké Flute channel is what wakes the Snorlax outside Diglett's Cave near Vermilion City.
- The Name Rater here can change your Pokémon's nicknames.
- Head north on Route 10 to reach Rock Tunnel and the Power Plant.
- The Poké Mart sells Max Repels, useful for skipping weak encounters in Kanto's caves.
