I suspected there would be even more mistakes in here that I didn't catch, and I was right! Gyarados Gaming pointed out that at 10:37, Nincada is listed as a Psychic type 😂
I have an italian official Emerald guide that says: "The Masterball is an unique item, that can catch pokemon with 100% accuracy. Use it on rare pokemon, like Fearow or Loudred!"
It’s a shame the starter’s pages were taken out of the deluxe hand book because I distinctly remember Bulbasaur’s “element” being listed as “seed” the same as it’s “type”
In the gym leader section of the Gen 1 book, it says that Lt. Surges Raichu evolved too early and didn't have the electric 'techniques" that Pikachu learns. Electric. Not agility, electric.
you know what, i think a lot of the common mistakes that are stuck in my brain are because of these books. i used to rent them from the library and read them front to back and i dont think i realized that they had incorrect information on them and im realizing this just now as you talk about how wurmple evolves because i literally STILL think its a day/night thing.
So, from what I understand, in the anime, the winner of the Pokémon League tournament for a region gets the chance to fight against the Elite Four. By winning against the Elite Four, you are then permitted to challenge the Champion. A person who defeats the Champion this way or an Elite Four Member who defeats the Champion this way becomes the new Champion for that region’s league. Either that, or the winner enters a smaller tournament consisting of themself, the Elite Four, and the Champion, and the winner of this mini-tournament is the champion.
I wonder if we'll ever get an anime episode where protagonist competes in the tournament, wins, and then battles/wins against the Elite 4 + Champion. Maybe in the S/V anime since it has multiple Champions.
There’s also the Sinnoh Handbook, which is also full of mistakes. For example, it says Mr. Mime can learn “Guard Spec.” However, a Guard Spec. is an item. It also tends to mix the games and anime like the second handbook in this video did.
28:22 The special note under Moltres points out how Moltres along with Zapdos, Articuno and of course Mewtwo and "are so rare, they're one of a kind" ...But It also names Eevee and Farfetche'd. Mind you I guess in the Gen 1 Games there were only 1 each... but still, made me laugh seeing them listed with the legendaries!
There’s multiple Farfetch’d but yeah besides your starter and the 4 legendaries there’s only 1 eevee and 1 lapras, both given to you by progressing through the story. Unless it’s Yellow version.
I can only assume that with the Ralts and Trapinch "Does not evolve" conundrum was caused by the author either having the two equipped with Everstones, or Kirlia and Vibrava were caught separately from the base Pokemon.
Kirlia and Vibrava couldn't be caught in the wild at all in the third generation, so no idea what that's about. Maybe they were wild Pokemon in the anime, but... But as KHfan pointed out, Trapinch does look wildly different than Vibrava and Flygon, and its level up moveset is pretty different too, so I can see the confusion there.

Something extra strange about the whole Gary thing in the first book is that by the time Ash had gotten to Hoenn, Gary had already retired as a trainer to become a researcher.

I tried searching for some mistakes and I found this. If you look in the first handbook, it says that Salamence is a pure dragon type. Not dragon flying, just pure dragon. Lol
@@DragoSonicMileOh; good! It's about time something was weak to the Palkia Type! So, about the Dialga, Giratina and Mesprit Types; are all weak/strong to and/or against each other, I take it?
Long ago, in the era the Tazos were first released, they were referred to as elements. It was a more direct translation or something. I mean, I am trying to recollect 20 year old knowledge or something here but I hopped fences for these things (a Growlithe or Charmander Tazo if I remember correctly) and I sort of remember them being referred to as elements on those.
10:02 - Howl is listed twice in Mightyena’s moves - Linoone‘s move titled ’rushing’ 10:58 -Beautifly learning the move ‘mornin’ 12:50 -Salamence is a Dragon/Flying type, not pure dragon.
I also want to point out that the Pidgeot page mentions that it catches "unsuspecting Fish element prey". Not Fish type, or Water element, which would at least be consistent with the book's type/element stuff, but Fish Element.
"Levels do not exist in the anime" Remember that one episode where that one kid gets bullied for having weak Pokémon like Pidgy? Well, someone said in that episode said "Pidgy evolves at level 18" or something along the lines of that.
Here's one for you: I have a handbook that lists one of Illumise's moves as "Zen Butt Head". My younger self would not stop laughing when she read it. Tbh, it's still funny...
@@bluuspeaker5245 Why? It's objectively not funny. It's not a joke. It's barely even an innuendo. There's no setup or payoff. It's objectively just not funny.
He tells us what Handbook is terrible, but not what is good or the bes, so i have to ask random strangers in the comments: Do you know what's best and accurate in 2021?
That first handbook is like a major trip down memory lane. It was the only one I ever actually owned and I had my parents order it for me when I was in grade school and I saw it in a Scholastic magazine that the school would get every month or so. We could order whatever books we wanted that were in the catalogues and could read them and had to take tests on the books we read for credits in some classes. I was a major bookworm back then, so I read like huge 1,000+ page books and would always get lots of credits and I actually found it really fun. All the Harry Potter books, all the Eragon books, all the Bobby Pendragon books and so many more.
19:53 . The anime actually does have levels, there was a gen 1 episode (specifically season 1 ep 9, The school of hard knocks) that mentioned pokemon levels and the level at which pidgey evolves
I remember a handbook from Gen 4 (I think) which was basically the Pokedex as a book, except alphabetically. It the showed the evoloutionary tree for Mew was Mew, Ditto, and Mewtwo. They explained that this evolution wasn't factual, but was a theory among scientists (in universe). I think that Scholastic must have stumbled across some fan theories saying that scientists did tests on Mew which created Dittos and Mewtwo. It also said Geodude evolved into Onix lol
When you're so fast, there are only 7 comment, but you can't even see them: *"The problem of being faster than light is that you always live in darkness."* I would have liked this comment if you didn't f*ck it up so much.
American market stuff often has Spanish in it. Since we border Mexico and see a lot of immigration from Central and South America where Spanish is the most common language. Then you have Mexican/Argentinean/Etc.. Americans. So Spanish is like the unofficial second language of the US. Also in the 90s everything Hispanic was super trendy and popular.
That was a one time mention of numerical levels in an episode that had the sole purpose of paying homage to the games. Literally never again were numerical levels ever mentioned again because it would be impossible to tell a continuous story with a barrier like numerical levels.
biratebryan Yeah. The whole “Anime has levels” thing has less legs to stand on than a Silicobra. One clip from one episode, that’s their silver bullet, and the only thing in the faulty magazine.
@@shardtheduraludon I always hated that arguement. Levels never factored into the anime and people treat one line from an over decade old season like its the grand truth
Who's Michel? Please, tell me. I want to know who this "Michel" is. Is this "Michel guy" a nice person? Is he related to MandJTV, a.k.a MICHAEL. But seriously, this "Michel" sounds very cool.
I remember levelling up my Ninjask like crazy trying to get Shedinja before I knew about the actual method, and I thought Trapinch didn't evolve and didn't know how to get Flygon (as I didn't know Vibrava existed, doesn't help that trainers never used it). I also thought Clamperl didn't evolve and didn't know about either Gorebyss or Huntail
I remember getting the official handbook when Diamond and Pearl were released as a kid. I was with my older sister at the Barnes and Nobles and begged her to buy it for me. It was a little over $10 so my sister had to break her $20 bill which annoyed her. I loved reading it front and back and just looking through it when I was bored. However i noticed it was filled with errors: spelling errors, wrong evolution charts etc. Later they released a updated version that fixed the mistakes and included the Platinum Pokmeon. I didn’t ask for it because I knew my family would get annoyed buying essentially the same book twice. But man do I wish I got the updated version instead.
I remember seeing that in 7th grade. I thought it was true. It made no sense to me at all, but I mentioned it and my friends looked at me like I was an idiot. I saw this video and that was the mistake that immediately popped into my mind.
I like how it says “type: normal and flying” for spearow but for fearow it says “beak” for its type. Not bird and and normal, like missingno, just beak.
28:50 Man, this book was ahead of its time considering in Scarlet/Violet even Pokemon you caught yourself will disobey you if it's too high level when you caught it.
@@absolutemaniac7368 I think you need to understand when people are joking. Of course I already knew that was a thing with traded Pokemon, I was just joking about how the book was predicting the future.
20:00 actually the anime had lvls, in the season 1 ep. “schedule of hard knocks” while joe (one of the prep students) on the treadmill was being asked questions by the other students one question was: “what lvl does pidgy evolve” therefor proving the existence of lvls in the Pokémon anime universe
The early Pokémon anime was weird, too weird. You can't trust it for any info, mainly things like in-game mechanics or EVEN ITSELF, it just contradicts it's own self way too often. There were real life animals in Season One, does that concept still exist? I don't think so. The Pokédex is nearly sentient in half of the original show, is that still a thing? No. Levels were only noted in The School of Hard Knocks where it was portrayed like in the games but then again the show contradicted itself on the moves Ash's Pokémon know, such as Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and etc. Levels are again "used" in the Pummelo Island GYM where Drake constantly talks about levels but it only seems to be about the strength of the Pokémon; After that I do not know if they have used the word levels in the context of "On this level, the Pokémon evolves, on this one, he learns new moves" because early Pokémon was weird and wack, being an anime of a glitched, gringy and mainly story-less game, so they were still figuring out what concepts to keep or to adapt.
14:45 I like how Brock's picture looks like he's been arrested and it's the mugshot he had taken at the police station. He's pissed off because it wasn't Officer Jenny taking the photo.
I had the original gen 1 handbook with the red cover. The biggest mistake I remember from that one was that it claimed Hitmonlee evolved into Hitmonchan. They corrected it in the delux edition. The gen 2 handbook, atleast the version I had, didn't even have all of the gen 2 pokemon. I remeber it had the starters, the baby forms and evolved forms of gen 1 pokemon, but hardly anything else. Im pretty sure it didn't have the legendary beasts or Ho-oh, Lugia, or Celebi.
@@deadaccount8054 you do relies that the book came out during the gen 1 anime, right? Are we supposed to ignore the anime season the book references multiple times.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the author called types “elements” just so they could do that pun
All the Pokémon lived in harmony
They were originally called "elements" in series
Elements is probably referencing the element cards for the card game at the time of release of the book
@Jayteial919
*H O W N N*
Long ago, in the era the Tazos were first released, they were referred to as elements. It was a more direct translation or something. I mean, I am trying to recollect 20 year old knowledge or something here but I hopped fences for these things (a Growlithe or Charmander Tazo if I remember correctly) and I sort of remember them being referred to as elements on those.

In that last Handbook, I like how they used the Eeveelutions to represent their respective types :D
That first handbook is like a major trip down memory lane. It was the only one I ever actually owned and I had my parents order it for me when I was in grade school and I saw it in a Scholastic magazine that the school would get every month or so. We could order whatever books we wanted that were in the catalogues and could read them and had to take tests on the books we read for credits in some classes. I was a major bookworm back then, so I read like huge 1,000+ page books and would always get lots of credits and I actually found it really fun. All the Harry Potter books, all the Eragon books, all the Bobby Pendragon books and so many more.

I remember getting the official handbook when Diamond and Pearl were released as a kid. I was with my older sister at the Barnes and Nobles and begged her to buy it for me. It was a little over $10 so my sister had to break her $20 bill which annoyed her. I loved reading it front and back and just looking through it when I was bored. However i noticed it was filled with errors: spelling errors, wrong evolution charts etc. Later they released a updated version that fixed the mistakes and included the Platinum Pokmeon. I didn’t ask for it because I knew my family would get annoyed buying essentially the same book twice. But man do I wish I got the updated version instead.
Mistake at 9:57: Torchic is shown with Tentacool’s level-up learnset.
OMG, yeah, I actually have that handbook at home and I've been so confused for the reason why Torchic can learn Bubblebeam.
No, I always thought that was right.
I remember seeing that in 7th grade. I thought it was true. It made no sense to me at all, but I mentioned it and my friends looked at me like I was an idiot. I saw this video and that was the mistake that immediately popped into my mind.

15:20 in the first season of the anime, they called Types "Elements," so thats where the element thing came from
In the last book there is actually a part where they put Spearow’s info, and his name and everything. Then they put a picture of Fearow for it.
Also it says that Mega Sceptile is pure grass, when it’s also grass/dragon.
Yeah, that was the one thing i noticed in my copy of the book, and the one i was 100% sure he would mention. But he didnt
I have that book it does not say that😪😴

The entire trapinch line learns a move called sand.

Thank you
The early Pokémon anime was weird, too weird. You can't trust it for any info, mainly things like in-game mechanics or EVEN ITSELF, it just contradicts it's own self way too often. There were real life animals in Season One, does that concept still exist? I don't think so. The Pokédex is nearly sentient in half of the original show, is that still a thing? No. Levels were only noted in The School of Hard Knocks where it was portrayed like in the games but then again the show contradicted itself on the moves Ash's Pokémon know, such as Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and etc. Levels are again "used" in the Pummelo Island GYM where Drake constantly talks about levels but it only seems to be about the strength of the Pokémon; After that I do not know if they have used the word levels in the context of "On this level, the Pokémon evolves, on this one, he learns new moves" because early Pokémon was weird and wack, being an anime of a glitched, gringy and mainly story-less game, so they were still figuring out what concepts to keep or to adapt.
Also in the Black and White saga,when the gang encounters Ash's Snivy,Iris says that Snivy must be a high level because of its atacks.
