2. Getting Started
==================

Once you've turned the game on, press Start on the title screen to come to
the main menu. Select "Options" to change your options, "New Game" if you have
no file, or "Continue" if you do. Professor Birch will give you the classic
"Hi, I'm the professor. This is a Pokemon. Blah blah blah. Destiny blah blah."
speech. Making yourself male will result in the rival's name being May. Making
yourself female will result in the rival's name being Brendan. I made myself
male, so I will refer to the rival as "May". Give yourself a name and read the
rest of Birch's speech.

With that said, here's some stuff you may (or may not) want to know.
