Calling All Trainers: The EXperience Share Shenanigans in Pokemon Red (Because Apparently, Sharing is Caring)
Ah, Pokemon Red. The OG adventure, the pixelated masterpiece that launched a thousand friendships (and rivalries). You've gotta catch 'em all, obviously, but let's be real, training that ever-growing team can feel like a Sisyphus situation sometimes. Enter the glorious EXP Share, the magical key to leveling up your whole squad without the grind. But how do you snag this legendary item in Pokemon Red? Well, buckle up, trainers, because it's not exactly a walk in the Cerulean Cave.

| How To Get Exp Share In Pokemon Red |
The Great Oak-eyness: Professor Oak Holds the Key (But Not Really)
Unlike some fancy later generations where you just grab the EXP Share and go, Pokemon Red keeps things...old school. You see, Pokemon Red predates the whole "holding items" concept. So, the EXP Share goodness comes in a different form: the EXP. All. It works similarly, splitting experience amongst your party, but hey, a rose by any other name...smells like victory nonetheless.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Operation Pokedex Profanity: Gotta See 'Em All (Almost)
Here's where things get interesting. To earn the EXP. All, you gotta prove your trainer prowess by filling your Pokedex with a whopping 50 different Pokemon. That's right, 50! We're talking catching everything from the adorable Rattata to the perpetually angry Mankey. Yes, even that creepy Gastly hiding in the shadows (because hey, gotta respect the hustle).
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Pro-Tip: Don't underestimate the power of the lowly Caterpie. This little green worm evolves into the magnificent Butterfree, a psychic butterfly that can learn some seriously cool moves. Just sayin'.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.

The Final Frontier: The Watchtower of Patience (and Maybe Pidgeys)
Once your Pokedex boasts a respectable 50 residents, head east of Fuschia City. There you'll find a majestic (or maybe just mildly dusty) watchtower. Inside lurks Professor Oak's ever-so-helpful aide. Talk to this fine fellow, brag a little about your impressive Pokedex collection, and voila! The EXP. All is yours. Now, go forth and level up your entire team with newfound ease!
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Just a heads-up: This watchtower might also be a haven for Pidgeys. Don't get KO'd by their incessant wing attacks while you're on your EXP. All quest. Nobody wants that kind of humiliation.
There you have it, trainers! With a little dedication (and maybe a whole lot of Poke Balls), you can claim the EXP. All and dominate the Kanto region with a well-rounded, leveled-up team. Remember, sharing is caring, and in Pokemon Red, sharing experience points is the key to ultimate victory. Now get out there and catch 'em all...or at least 50!
