How to get past the old man in Viridian City in Pokemon Leaf Green?
Posted On: March 20, 2024

It's been a while since I last played Pokémon Leaf green.


I am playing it with my nephew and he asked me how to get to first Gym (Brock) to get the Boulder badge.


Here is the problem:.


An old man is lying there and not allowing us to pass through to the path that leads to the gym. As we are in a hurry (I can neither recall nor find any good source).


Question from user ABcDexter at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Simply enough, you're not supposed to leave Viridian City yet, as you haven't done everything you were asked to do. Go into the PokéMart and you'll be given a task to return to Pallet Town, then it should be simple from there.
