1)PIKACHU'S BEACH
=================

i)Unlocking Pikachu's Beach
---------------------------
To play Pikachu's Beach you have to have a Pikachu that knows SURF, Then you need go to the 
Summer Beach House south of Fuchsia City and talk to the guy in there while you have a surfing
Pikachu in your team, The guy in there (His name is Surfin' Dude) should say something like 
"Whoa , I thought I had the only surfing Pikachu" and then he will ask if you want to play
Pikachu's Beach. While you have the surfing Pikachu inside the Summer House the printer in the
corner will work and all the signs will change to display tips on how to surf. If you use a 
surfing Pikachu to cross water it will show a surfing Pikachu instead of the usual default 
Lapras icon.

So far there are three ways of getting a surfing Pikachu here they are:

1)Nintendo
This is probably the hardest way of getting him, You have to go to a Nintendo Poktour and win 
him by beating all the other kids at Pokmon! (Only possible in the U.S, Canada and Australia)

2)GameShark (Can stuff up your game) 
Place a Pikachu to be first in your team and place the unwanted move you want changed to SURF
in the first move slot (Use select while in battle). Then use this code while out of battle 
-013972D1- and the move will be SURF now! Don't worry about the stuffed up PP, SURF will only 
have the old moves PP temporarily. If you don't want to do this to your starting Pikachu I 
suggest you get one from a friend that has Red or Blue. If you use the GameShark code -0154D7CF-
to catch another Pikachu they will both share the same mood and it can cause problems.

3)Pokmon Stadium 
You have to have finish the R-2 Prime Cup Mater Ball Division using a Pikachu as one of your 
chosen three in your team, I suggest you get a Mewtwo using the method below Mewtwo's not *that*
cheap, just pretty cheap) and get other strong Pokmon in your team.
Then use your Mewtwo to obliterate the other Pokmon, After beating all of the Master Ball
division you should have a surfing Pikachu.

The exact requirements for receiving a surfing Pikachu thanks to Potatao Boy are as follows: 
1. You must be competing in the R-2 Prime Cup Master Ball Division.
2. You cannot use a rental Pikachu.
3. You cannot register your team, you must select it directly from the Transfer Pak.
4. Pikachu must be selected as one of the three Pokmon used during each battle, you do not 
   have to actually select him to fight, he only has to be one of the three. 
5. You cannot lose any of the battles

*Pikachu Colors*
Naming your Pikachu different names will give it certain colours in Pokmon Stadium here are 
some I have found, They may turn out different.
PIKA   -Darker Orange
SPARKY -Orange             
PICHU  -Lighter then usual 
POOKAH -Light and bluish   

*Getting a Strong Mewtwo* (Using Red/Blue Versions)
Using the MissingNo. Trick (see any other Pokmon FAQ) you can get certain Pokmon by using 
third letter in your name as a kind of GameShark code. You can't get Mew though since you can 
only get Pokmon with high quantity digits (Mew's is 15). Anyhow start a new game and name 
yourself so the third letter is a capital D, Now use the MissingNo. trick and capture about ten
MEWTWO's only if they have a level over 100, Now dupe Rare Candies (using the MissingNo. Trick) 
and feed them to your MEWTWO's until they get up to level 255 compare there stat's choose the 
best one, Remember you want low attack if your giving it a moveset with no physical attacks, 
Since you'll hurt yourself more if you get Confused. Now give it a Rare Candy it will now be 
level 0 now build it up by battles to Level 100, It shouldn't need the Box Trick much 
(See www.azureheights.com), it should be unstoppable.
My Personal Fav. Moveset is PSYCHIC\AMNESIA\THUNDERBOLT\ICE BEAM I only picked T-BOLT and I-BEAM
over THUNDER and BLIZZARD because there more accurate but slightly less powerful, but if you
wan't you can substitute I-BEAM for BLIZZARD and T-BOLT for RECOVER or THUNDER.

ii)How to play Pikachu's Beach
------------------------------
Controls- Left-  Angle board forward / Forward-flip
          Right- Angle board backward / Back-flip

This Surfing mini-game is kind of a hybrid between California Games (surfing) and Exitebike. 
The aim of the game is to get the beach before Pikachu runs out of HP. You start out with 
6000 HP, The HP goes down with the time and as you wipeout you waste time. To not wipeout you
have to angle your board properly with the waves. Extra points are added by Surfing Rad, In 
other words executing back-flips and forward-flips, To do these go up the wave and just as you 
get over the lip of the wave start flipping, Only try one flip on small waves to get 50 points,
On medium to big waves do two flips to get a huge 150 points, Land you board by leveling it 
parallel to the water just after you come out of your flip. If you're really good and pull off 
three flips you will get 350 points. You can also do a Z-flip by doing a Back/Foward-flip then 
flipping back the opposite way before you land, This will give you 180 points. 
                         
< Radness Table >               _
 ________________              /\\<--- This is when you should start flipping 
|Flip        | 50|            /  \\ 
|Double-Flip |150|           /   /\     
|Z-Flip      |180|              /   \
|Triple-Flip |300|             /     \
 
After you reach the beach it totals your score using two scores HP left & Radness. HP Left is 
the amount of HP you have left by the time you get to the beach. Radness is the amount of points
awarded from tricks you did while surfing. 

Here's LEEBOT's High Score Tips:
1. Give up if you crash even once (Press Select).
2. Do triple flips off this wave pattern only:     
   _
  /\\                 It has the best chance of succeeding.
 /  \\       _  _     But only do a double flip if you fall almost
/   /\     /\\/\\    immediately.
   /   \      \\ \\
  /     \     /\/\ 

3. Forward flips are faster than backwards flips, so always use these, except in Z-flips.
4. Do the best flip you can on each jump.
5. Beware that Pikachu slows down after two jumps in close succession.

2)GB PRINTER GUIDE 
==================
This game utilises the Game Boy printer quite heavily. In fact the only Game Pak that lets you 
print more stuff is Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. Anyway here is list of all the stuff you can 
print. A Frame is how much paper it uses up (Using a GB Camera picture as the default size).

Pokdex Entry
-------------
Select the Pokmon you want to print in the Pokdex then select PRNT. (About 2 frames)

Pokmon Box
-----------
Select the box you want to print in BILL's\SOMEONE's BOX using CHANGE BOX then select PRINT BOX
to print it out. (About 5 frames)

Photo (Pokmon stats)
---------------------
Go in the Pokmon Fan Club north of Lt. Surges Gym in Vermilion City then talk to the Chairman.
After you get the bike voucher off him he will ask if you want him to take a picture of one of
your pokmon, Say yes then choose one of your pokmon. (About 1 frame)

Diploma
-------
After getting all 150 pokmon go to the third floor in Celadon Mansion and talk to the only guy
not in front of a PC, Then talk to the guy to the right of him he will print a diploma saying 
you have completed your pokdex and pictures of Pikachu holding a gold cup & Mew flying away.	
(About 2 frames)

Pikachu's Beach Hi-Score
------------------------
After getting a high score on Pikachu's Beach go to the printer in the corner of the Summer 
House (While having a surfing Pikachu in your team) it will print out your hi-score on Pikachu's
Beach and a picture of pikachu holding a surfboard in front of a sunset. (About 1 frame)
