Route 32 — South from Violet
Exit Violet south through the gate. Talk to the Fishing Guru in the house just inside Route 32 for a free Old Rod — your first water catches. The route is long and trainer-dense; good early XP.
Heads up — Crystal change: Mareep is not in Crystal. The entire Mareep → Flaaffy → Ampharos line is trade-only here, so the classic "grab a Mareep on Route 32" advice is Gold/Silver-only. Crystal has no practical early Electric-type — plan your Electric slot for Kanto (Magnemite/Pikachu) or trade one in.

| Ekans | Poison | All day | 4 | Arbok line; OK Poison body. |
| Bellsprout | Grass/Poison | Morn/Day | 6–7 | ★ Cut slave + Victreebel via Leaf Stone (no trade). |
| Hoppip | Grass/Flying | Morn/Day | 6–7 | Cheap Cut/FlashNormal slave; Skiploom line. |

Old Rod water: Magikarp and Tentacool. A Magikarp now becomes a Gyarados later — worth banking if you want one early.
