>Gen 2You have to fight Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, and Morty to proceed.
Town citizen stops you before Falkner.
You need Cut clearance to get past Ilex.
You need a waterbottle to get past Sudowoodo.
Morty gives you Surf clearance.
Once you beat Morty and have access to Surf the game opens up. You can fight Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order you want. Game tells you:
Chuck >> Jasmine >> Pryce.
You need to kick the Rockets out of Mahogany to fight Pryce though. You might as well fight Chuck on the way getting Jasmine's medicine or else you wasted a Surf trip back to Olivine because Chuck's wife literally gives you Fly for beating him. Clair is always the last Gym.
Johto's Kanto is hard to place. There really is choice in this one especially in the original GSC games. In the remakes I believe Gary/Blue/Green is always your 16th Gym. The order the game wants you to proceed iirc is supposed to be:
Lt. Surge >> Sabrine >> Erika >> Janine / Misty >> Brock >> Blaine >> Gary/Blue/Green
Lt. Surge is right in Vermillion when you arrive.
Sabrina is the next closest gym.
Erika is the next immediately available gym.
Janine is following cycling road to Fuschia... OR
Misty is locked behind the power plant subquest/Rocket grunt
Brock is unlocked by restoring the power plant and getting the pokeflute
Not sure if you can reach Blaine from the Fuschia Surf side. There may have been a blockade set up iirc. Gary/Green/Blue is on Cinnabar until you find him and you might as well find/fight Blaine at that point.
