Once you obtain all 16 badges, talk to the music designer in Celadon, and you unlock the 8-bit originals from the original gold/silver games.
When you start a new game and you will be warned that you cannot save until you delete previous data. Accept the warning, then play until you can move your character.

In Ecruteak City at the Dance studio, a Team Rocket grunt is hassling a kimono girl. Talk to the person on the right side of the stage. He tells you he would have put a stop the grunt's behavior if it was not for the incredible pain of his stomachache. This is a tactic commonly used by Hercule Satan in Dragon Ball Z to get out of fighting.
Feeding Oran Berries to the Miltank
You can get about one to three Oran Berries before you have to do this task. However you probably have used them or at least only have one Oran remaining. If you do not have any Oran Berries, at the sixth floor of the Goldenrod Department Store is a betting corner, where you pay 300 to draw a ticket. The ticket will win you a #1, #2, or #3 prize. The #1 prize is the TM of the day (the woman next to the ticket counter will tell you what it and the #2 prize is). The #2 prize is a special Pokeball. The #3 prize is a random selection of one of ten different berries, including the Oran. Do not waste your money by trying to get a large number of them. The Miltank needs seven Oran Berries. Harvest the berries in the berry pots until you have seven of them. Optionally, the girl to the left of the Miltank will give you a seal case and the girl on its right will give you three seals. The farmer woman gives you a TM Natural Gift. Once you give the Miltank the berries you can buy Moomoo Milk (which heals 100 health) for 500. Finally in Olivine, the girl in the house north of the Pokemart will give seals.
Beat the Elite Four once and go to the S.S Aqua ship in Olivine City to get the National dex.
You can use the points from the Pokeathalon in the shop to buy certain items. These change from day to day, so look for elemental stones and rare candies in the shop (and you can use the DS calendar options to change the day of the week).
