Oddly enough a couple of the errors in this guide relate back to prior versions of Kanto. 1) In Red, Blue and Yellow you get Ice Beam from the girl atop the tower, as the guide says. 2) In Yellow version Rock and Fire Type does help against Koga because his entire team is part Bug Type.
Im gently suprised that you keep asking everyone for their permission to react on their vids. I didnt hear from anyone else asking for any permissions. This should be way more appreciated then it probably is
I love Micheal, he is a wholesome little boy and although his laugh can be unconvincing, I don't think he fakes them like some other reaction poketubers
I've seen all of these comments related to Jaiden's Platinum Nuzlocke -no, he probably will not react to it. Michael said more than once that he “doesn't like reacting to more than one video of the same person, because he feels like their content becomes his.” And to be honest, I have no problem with that. UA-cam is already flooded with enough Jaiden reactions right now.
Your right because as you said he made it very clear that he will not react to a UA-camr more than once and because of this it is very possible that he has already watched it
@@pokeraiders6274 yes if I remember correctly, a character there was a water trainer and in his team he had a nidoqueen, which implied Nidoqueen was a water Pokémon.
I think that's not possible because the youtuber well in our case mikey need to get permission on eric's family. Ok i get that this is a joke please don't wooosh me
I used to have a massive platinum guide book that I cherished. I didn't have a ds so I would just imagine I was playing platinum with the book and I loved it
I watched pokemon platinum as lil baby on UA-cam aswell as early Minecraft a few years later. I soaked up D/P/P like a sponge. my first pokemon game was diamond and my sister got pearl. Ended up getting platinum later and never lost that card. I was so dumb when I used to play diamond ahahaha rookie moves. Got soul silver too but its all a blur in my childhood. Soul silver became the game I'd reset the most because it had the most plot of complete and the most pokemon diversity plus walking with ur pokemon was so cool back then 😎
i think my parents bought me both a gen 4 game and the platinum guidebook for Christmas one year. but they bought me Pokemon Diamond lmao so eventually I stopped using it lol
But you if you're playing a original generation, one game like red, blue, yellow or green. You can actually use the pokey toy and skip the sell it on team rocket hideout which is what I did in my original playthrough but and then when I beat the 8th gym I went to beat the team rocket hideout.
Healing before every fight in the E4. I was that guy that didn't spend a cent through the entire game(with the exception of balls and the occasional escape rope), then once I made it to the pokemon league I'd blow it all on revives and full restores
"i looked them up and the first thing that came up was an obituary" i literally gasped when i heard that, such a tonal shift UNPROVOKED and i really wish the best to eric and his family, may he rest in peace
@@phlogistinatorpb it is but I don't understand why you would laugh at that even if you do consider dark humor. This guy lost his life and his family is probably a bit broken because of that, the loss of a loved one is nothing to laugh about
My first game was HGSS, and I didn't know how to use the PC, because I wasn't "someone." I also got stuck before the last gym because I didn't know to use strength on the boulders. Returning to beat the game was like growing up.
I remember fighting the Elite Four numerous times in Platinum (my first Pokémon game) as a kid and just BARELY getting through it without healing once and I was super excited... And then my heart sank when I found out I still had to fight the champion. And I'm pretty sure I knew that I *could* heal between battles, but it just never occurred to me to do so for some reason, so I inevitably lost and had to start all over again. And again. And again. And AGAIN!! Eventually I did start healing between battles and was able to finally do it within one more small handful of attempts, but it was ridiculous

Magikarp is actually a good investment if you don’t start with Squirtle as you can’t get a decent water type to far later and don’t want to spend time later evolving Magikarp
I had bought a copy of FireRed when it was brand new, birthday money and everything, and on the box it said that it came with a copy of the wireless adapter so you could trade pokemon with your friends. So, my surprise when I opened up the box and found only the game... was immeasurable and quickly built to frustration before giving way to apathy since, at the time, I had no friends I could trade with anyway. It still upsets me to this day and makes me rather glad that the newer consoles come with that kind of thing built into the game/console rather than needing a separate adapter.
maybe "laying down the law" on erika is a reference to gym leaders being a part of team rocket. It mentions it specifically directly after you defeat the evil team leader, Giovanni.
To the people about to tell Mikey to react to Jaiden’s new nuzlocke: He won’t. He said that he was only going to react to each UA-camr once, and he has already reacted to Jaiden before.
I have this exact guidebook and in one of the pages where it lists out the pokemon in that route, it says gyrados through super rod fishing, but the picture if of a weedle lol
They don't let you into Silph Co. until you've gotten the Poké Flute. I used to think you actually had to set foot in Fuchsia City but apparently you just need the Poké Flute. Also, the TMs from the girl were Ice Beam, Rock Slide, and Tri Attack in RBY, which is probably where the guide's confusion comes from.
25:15 Yeah there’s a grunt in the way of silph cp if you haven’t beaten the rocket hideot yet. When you get to him after that he is sleeping on guard duty so you can pass
"When I was a kid I actually never lost a battle. I would always reset my game if I lost." I still do this. I have lost so many hours in so many different and much harder games...
Me, too, I still do this. I don't like losing money. It's a pain in the ass to get it back sometimes, so if I lose, I just reset. It's just way easier altogether.
Poison, Fire, Rock, is a fine suggestion for the gym. Rock resists poison, poison can't get the poisoned status and Fire is super effective against bug and grass, which are common types that are given to poison types. They should probably have suggested Psychic, however, what they said is ok.
Rock is also super effective against bug and typically has ground coverage, as well, which is super effective against poison (except Koffing, Weezing, and fliers, but rocks handle the latter group)
Can’t wait to be in heaven with Eric and “hammer away” at our conversations about his guidebooks Seriously, it is so tragic that he died, I wish any condolences to his family.
I personally used guides to learn a route layout, where to get a Pokemon, how evolve a Pokemon, where to get a specific item, and what Pokemon can learn what and when or how. I never used them for Gyms or anything like that because a basic understanding of type match ups obviously make that inferior. If anything I might of looked at a Gym leader's ace just to get an idea what level Id need to be
@25:05 The only road block at Silph Co. is Lavender Tower, which is road blocked by the Rocket Hideout. You can do all of these events before fighting Lt. Surge!!
I can confirm that here in Spain, the "official Nintendo Acción guide" for Pokemon Red and Blue did sugest to catch a digglet before facing Lt. Surge, recommended for an easy battle against Brock using grass or water moves and to check the north route prior to facing Misty if you didn't have enough level. It also recommended to get the Body Slam tm in the SS Anne and teach it to a powerful attacking pokemon, and mentioning Raichu as a good candidate, or to save it for Snorlax, as another good candidate for the tm.. IIRC, it missed telling the players to catch a nidoran if your starter was Charmander, so you could use Double Kick against Brock, though. And they didn't know what Focus Energy did, or was suposed to do, because they didn't mention it was bugged, and all they said was that it could take down a pokemon instantly (a bit like a OHKO move) if used constantly. Of course, it never worked like that, as it was suposed to raise the crit rate and it didn't even do that, so eventually my friends and I just ignored that bit of information from the guide. edit: Also, as an spaniard, I'm contractually enforced to groan at that Gyaratres joke. Just saying.
@@robertlupa8273 My bad, it has been more than 20 years since I played and I remembered that it learned it, but I had to have mixed it with Yellow, then, if I remember nidoran being useful against Brock.
I often look things up online if I get stuck, but I do still like strategy guides too! I got the Collector's Edition ones for Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield, which are nice, hardcover books that also come with extra goodies (the Sun & Moon one came with a file of extra concept art, while the Sword & Shield one came with a hefty bookmark and some skins for your Switch and Joy-cons which I haven't actually used yet). Even the paperback ones are cool though. I found my old Gold & Silver one not long ago, and was very happy as I'd just started playing Gold on Virtual Console. Strategy guides are good for other games too. I still have my one for Tales of Symphonia for GameCube (helpful for all the many sidequests) and had one for Rune Factory on DS (you very much need one for that game to know what are the best crops to plant each season and when to upgrade your tools...it also had a guide on how to woo each of the girls your character could potentially marry, which is useful since some are harder than others). In other words, they may not be selling as well, but they're still helpful! EDIT: 34:35 Him naming the Onix "Rocky" is funny cause there's actually an Onix nicknamed that in the Gen 2 games that you can get in Violet City if you trade this guy a Bellsprout. Wonder if that's why he did that or if it's just a coincidence?
One thing about the nidoqueen being weak to electric. Remember the guy in the anime who said 'all my pokemons are water type' despite having a nidoqueen. I think that's the cause of this
19:37 I know this is a year old but I’m 99% sure you get Ice Beam, Rock Slide and… Double Edge? I think? From the vendor machine girl in the original Red and Blue games
That's the guide I had growing up and i remember the electric suggestions being a bit out of place. Hammering away at things is an effective strategy it seems, and the maps that connect the teleporters are amazing and the location of the card key was so important (I usually look up where it is and then clear the building andthen forget where the teleporter i need is) Funnily enough I actually laughed when you said laugh
2:24 Man, I feel this so hard. I remember playing the original Kingdom Hearts as a kid. I got up to the third Riku boss fight where you had to face him alone in Hollow Bastion. For the life of me, I could not beat him. Threw myself at that asshole for a solid hour with no luck. Didn't touch the game for over a year after that.
@@kyokyodisaster4842 : More or less what you saw in this video. They're known for having some glaring mistakes in them and plenty of cases of dumb advice.
The worst part is that nowadays Prima is one of very few companies that still publish actual full strategy guides since they don't sell that well anymore.
Next time i'm playing a Kanto game, i'll be sure to "Hammer away" at every opponent and "lay waste" to them, for Eric.

maybe "laying down the law" on erika is a reference to gym leaders being a part of team rocket. It mentions it specifically directly after you defeat the evil team leader, Giovanni.
But that is Manga not necessarily games. Except for Giovanni.
Also, even in the manga, Erika is not with Team Rocket.
She's the "leader" of non-Rocket Gym Leaders.
To the people about to tell Mikey to react to Jaiden’s new nuzlocke:
He won’t. He said that he was only going to react to each UA-camr once, and he has already reacted to Jaiden before.
So I shouldn't tell him to react to PaPaSea's other beating a Pokemon game based on a guide video. Thanks.
Let's convince John then jk
F to Jaiden's first lost nuzlocke
Me what i see the guide dumping on growlithe and exeggcute: Looks like the book is “laying down the law”
This guide certainly "hammered away" at that Exeggcute. Like....god damn XD
And it did this in two shakes of a lambs tail
I have this exact guidebook and in one of the pages where it lists out the pokemon in that route, it says gyrados through super rod fishing, but the picture if of a weedle lol
Weedle is just tiny gyarados
@@XerneX127 Obviously
They don't let you into Silph Co. until you've gotten the Poké Flute. I used to think you actually had to set foot in Fuchsia City but apparently you just need the Poké Flute.
Also, the TMs from the girl were Ice Beam, Rock Slide, and Tri Attack in RBY, which is probably where the guide's confusion comes from.
RIP to the homie Eric. We’re gonna keep laying down the law for you 😭
Lordb8er?
Nintendo: *And I took that personally*
yeah. That was a really innovative idea by Mysteryore, and there aren't a ton of games you can do this for
Lol
"All of the fights are optional except the ones that are not."
It is clear that Shirou Emiya wrote this guide.
Is that the "People die if they are killed" guy?
@@jorvach9874 Yes he is. franchise is filled with similar lines like "Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right"
Don’t die until you’re dead.

(no not Zeppeli)
25:15 Yeah there’s a grunt in the way of silph cp if you haven’t beaten the rocket hideot yet. When you get to him after that he is sleeping on guard duty so you can pass
"When I was a kid I actually never lost a battle. I would always reset my game if I lost." I still do this. I have lost so many hours in so many different and much harder games...
Me, too, I still do this. I don't like losing money. It's a pain in the ass to get it back sometimes, so if I lose, I just reset. It's just way easier altogether.
Don't play Dark Souls then brother
@@Floatzilla I don't. I tried but it was not my style.
Just don't do it against other players.
i do this in radical red on giovanni and gyms(except erika sweeped with crobat)
Pikachu. That’s why they said electric>ground.
I thought it could be that too.
Poison, Fire, Rock, is a fine suggestion for the gym. Rock resists poison, poison can't get the poisoned status and Fire is super effective against bug and grass, which are common types that are given to poison types. They should probably have suggested Psychic, however, what they said is ok.
Rock is also super effective against bug and typically has ground coverage, as well, which is super effective against poison (except Koffing, Weezing, and fliers, but rocks handle the latter group)
I seem to recall having trouble with Koga the first time I played Yellow, and then grinding up my charizard and crushing him.
Can’t wait to be in heaven with Eric and “hammer away” at our conversations about his guidebooks
Seriously, it is so tragic that he died, I wish any condolences to his family.
at 43 too, so early to go. very sad.
I personally used guides to learn a route layout, where to get a Pokemon, how evolve a Pokemon, where to get a specific item, and what Pokemon can learn what and when or how. I never used them for Gyms or anything like that because a basic understanding of type match ups obviously make that inferior. If anything I might of looked at a Gym leader's ace just to get an idea what level Id need to be
Lol i never took pokemon seriously
I always like how you ask permission to do reactions. You may say yeah, of course I do, but the thing is not everybody does it. A big thumbs up here!
The rollercoaster of emotions that michael had in this ep! I want give him hug! 😂😭❤️
@25:05
The only road block at Silph Co. is Lavender Tower, which is road blocked by the Rocket Hideout. You can do all of these events before fighting Lt. Surge!!
"You should heal before fighting a elite four member"
Me who has not used a healing in between the elite four and saved it for the champion: oops
what about gen 5 👀
@@totallynotarobot8607 i never had a gen 5 game
Nintendo Power: "Here's how to beat the game!"
Prima: "Hey kid... ...you want some berries?"
Summary: Hammer away everything, even the game boi
I can confirm that here in Spain, the "official Nintendo Acción guide" for Pokemon Red and Blue did sugest to catch a digglet before facing Lt. Surge, recommended for an easy battle against Brock using grass or water moves and to check the north route prior to facing Misty if you didn't have enough level.
It also recommended to get the Body Slam tm in the SS Anne and teach it to a powerful attacking pokemon, and mentioning Raichu as a good candidate, or to save it for Snorlax, as another good candidate for the tm..
IIRC, it missed telling the players to catch a nidoran if your starter was Charmander, so you could use Double Kick against Brock, though. And they didn't know what Focus Energy did, or was suposed to do, because they didn't mention it was bugged, and all they said was that it could take down a pokemon instantly (a bit like a OHKO move) if used constantly. Of course, it never worked like that, as it was suposed to raise the crit rate and it didn't even do that, so eventually my friends and I just ignored that bit of information from the guide.
edit: Also, as an spaniard, I'm contractually enforced to groan at that Gyaratres joke. Just saying.
Nidoran doesn't learn Double Kick until the 40s in Red/Blue. It only learns it early in Yellow. Just saying.
@@robertlupa8273 My bad, it has been more than 20 years since I played and I remembered that it learned it, but I had to have mixed it with Yellow, then, if I remember nidoran being useful against Brock.
I think we all know Eric’s favorite type....
@Verified UA-camrs Hammer Arm is a Fighting Type
So His Favorite Type is Fighting
The ghost type
Electric?
@@jermouche I-
@@Dexuz am I wrong?
People doing it legally and there was me who just overlevelled his starter Pokemon to one shot everything. Those were good days.....
Ohh hey you watch this too I am your subscriber
I did something similar and didn't catch anything else I even oneshot my rivals starter.
@@Reyy12121 lol hey
@Nova Aizn yeah same lol
That was me in HeartGold. Just levelled my Quilava(I did not want Typolsion for some reason) to 50 while my other Pokemon were struggling.
Are kaise ho bhaiya😂😂
I think Nintendo would have laughed for an hour-long before approving it.
Nintendo approved meant whoever could pay Nintendo the most for licensing fees lol 😆

I often look things up online if I get stuck, but I do still like strategy guides too! I got the Collector's Edition ones for Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield, which are nice, hardcover books that also come with extra goodies (the Sun & Moon one came with a file of extra concept art, while the Sword & Shield one came with a hefty bookmark and some skins for your Switch and Joy-cons which I haven't actually used yet). Even the paperback ones are cool though. I found my old Gold & Silver one not long ago, and was very happy as I'd just started playing Gold on Virtual Console.
Strategy guides are good for other games too. I still have my one for Tales of Symphonia for GameCube (helpful for all the many sidequests) and had one for Rune Factory on DS (you very much need one for that game to know what are the best crops to plant each season and when to upgrade your tools...it also had a guide on how to woo each of the girls your character could potentially marry, which is useful since some are harder than others).
In other words, they may not be selling as well, but they're still helpful!
EDIT: 34:35 Him naming the Onix "Rocky" is funny cause there's actually an Onix nicknamed that in the Gen 2 games that you can get in Violet City if you trade this guy a Bellsprout. Wonder if that's why he did that or if it's just a coincidence?
I can already realise michales comments to be filled with jaiden nuz request
Yup
he said he didnt want do to any more of her vids

I think Eric would have written this guide after watching anime
LOL
One thing about the nidoqueen being weak to electric. Remember the guy in the anime who said 'all my pokemons are water type' despite having a nidoqueen. I think that's the cause of this

I know this is a year old but I’m 99% sure you get Ice Beam, Rock Slide and… Double Edge? I think? From the vendor machine girl in the original Red and Blue games
Yo this is one of my favorite poketubers, nice to see you react to it!
Same
That's the guide I had growing up and i remember the electric suggestions being a bit out of place. Hammering away at things is an effective strategy it seems, and the maps that connect the teleporters are amazing and the location of the card key was so important (I usually look up where it is and then clear the building andthen forget where the teleporter i need is) Funnily enough I actually laughed when you said laugh
Whenever Eric is, I’m sure hes hammering away
2:24 Man, I feel this so hard. I remember playing the original Kingdom Hearts as a kid. I got up to the third Riku boss fight where you had to face him alone in Hollow Bastion. For the life of me, I could not beat him. Threw myself at that asshole for a solid hour with no luck. Didn't touch the game for over a year after that.
"The Prima Guide is worse than the Nintendo Power one."
And thus.....
.... no one was surprised.
Prima has an interesting history to say the least. XD
What is its history if I might ask?
@@kyokyodisaster4842 : More or less what you saw in this video. They're known for having some glaring mistakes in them and plenty of cases of dumb advice.
The worst part is that nowadays Prima is one of very few companies that still publish actual full strategy guides since they don't sell that well anymore.
They need to do more research me thinks
