Well, you probably don't want to head west, as that path leads to the Indigo Plateau, which you can't enter until you've earned badges from all sixteen gyms. But other than that, which way depends on where you're trying to get to, or what sort of place you'd like to go to.

Well... I was thinking of challenging the gyms, so, I guess wherever the first badge is!

There's a gym in Viridian City itself, but generally the "first" gym in Kanto is traditionally considered to be the one in Pewter City, to the north.

...why is Veridian first, but Pewter's the first actual gym?

Re: Video

I couldn't say, but if I recall, I believe the gym leader in Viridian is relatively new, so presumably the reasons for it come from a time before that. The gym there now is certainly one of the most challenging of the Kanto gyms, however.

Oh! That would make sense, then! Hee, guess I have something to look forward to!

Re: Video

That's certainly a good way of looking at it.
