Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Starting the game givers the player two choices, "NEW GAME" and "OPTION".
"OPTION" contains a number of graphical and quality of life features. It is highly recommended that the player makes some adjustments here.
The Option menu includes:
Text Speed: Controls how quickly text is displayed.
Battle Scene: Turns battle animations on and off.
Battle Style: Lets the player elect to choose whether or not they want to change Pokémon after fainting in battle.
Shift: This is the default option and allows the player to swap Pokémon more often in battle, giving the player an edge.
Set: Somewhat more difficult, which may or may not be desirable. It makes the game more fair to the computer player and can streamline the battle experience.
The player may choose between Mono and Stereo audio.
Mono is the default choice, and is what should be used if playing on an original Game Boy Color, or on a Game Boy Player equipped GameCube on a Mono speaker TV.
Stereo is ideal for playing on a Game Boy Color with headphones, a GameCube with GameBoy Player and Stereo speaker Television, or a Nintendo 3DS.
Print settings only applies to gamers using the Game Boy printer accessory.
Menu account: Displays a small tooltip for each option when the in-game menu is open.
Frame: Allows the player to select one of eight decorative window frames for notifications and text boxes.
When ready choose cancel (Despite the name, your settings will be saved.) or press B to return to the menu and select New Game.
