  • Beating Pokemon the way Nintendo intended it...
    I've played every Pokemon game multiple times, but I never actually played any Pokemon game exactly the way Nintendo intended it. I've done a Pokemon challenge and Nuzlockes before but not this. Today we will be playing through Pokemon Fire Red, using the official Prima strategy guide endorsed by Nintendo. Since this guide has the official Nintendo seal of approval, that means this is how Nintendo actually wants us to play this game. Let's see how this turns out, and if it really is the best way to beat Pokemon!

      When I was just a little boy... I went through the dark tunnel with no flash. No flash. I did not know what flash was until my next Pokémon game. This might be my biggest flex.
      I traveled along the cave walls until I eventually got to the other side of the cave.... it was the most satisfying bright light or ladder I climbed ever.
      Those challenges of not doing things the right way made my Pokémon so effin strong.
      My cousin would rare candy all his Pokémon and I still beat him.
      I miss those Pokémon every single day. I lost them in my crystal game when I forgot it on a bus on my way to Texas.
      To this day it's one of my saddest moments. The bus hadn't Departed yet. I went inside to look for the game!
      I could not find it!! I miss you charizard and gengar!
      If you find a kido ash. That's me take care of my mon please.

      @Jo Jo That's how most translations from Japanese feel like, to be honest
      Especially dub scripts. That's the main reason why every anime has this certain weird "vocabulary spice" to it that just doesn't feel natural. Professional translators aren't the kinds of people to "mediate" emotions and inflections in a way that makes sense in other languages, having known some of them. They're just one or two steps away from translating things word-by-word.

      Honestly Pokemon (and other rpgs to an extent) is just about the only game that could justify these guides. Have you seen some of the evolution methods they've added
      Yamask (Galar) needs to take 49 damage in one fight without dying, and then walk under a specific arch without healing.
      There's one that needs to hold one of a certain item while you spin in place. The direction you spin, time of day, and the specific item all change what it's evolution looks like.
      Karrablast and Shelmet have to be traded for each other specifically.
      Eevee evolutions were changed so that the location based ones (because two required specific locations to evolve) are suddenly pre-existing stones that never worked on Eevee, and Sylveon evolves the same as Umbreon and Espeon (friendship), but overrides those two if it knows a Fairy type move.
      Goomy and it's line needs to level up in the rain to evolve. But not Rain Dance Rain, in an area where it's raining in the overworld.
      Inkay requires you to hold your system upside down. Idk if you can do that with a docked switch by just holding the controller upside down.
      Tyrogue has three forms, and they depend on whether your attack is higher, lower, or equal to your defense, something that is difficult to manipulate without knowing values the game doesn't directly tell you.
      And that's not including hidden legendaries, form change items, TMs and HMs, etc. There's no way some of those were discovered by accident.

    I had one of the guides for Red/Blue Mystery dungeon and it is one of my favorite things. There's just so many little details in it that was great and I spent many of times just browsing the pokedex in the back for fun.

    I hope to god this gets noticed. I first beat Pokemon red as a 5 year old by only leveling charizard to 100. Literally ran in grass until level 100 because I knew nothing else to do. Lol

      My first game was yellow and I never fought Brock until Pikachu was at level 30+. Pika was like level 80 by the time I beat the elite four and my others were all at level 30

    These guides are a great tool to look in the history of the development. They are written while the finishing touches are still being made. So inaccuracies in the guide often aren't wrong, but reflect a truth during it's creation.
    Since programmers or dev teams in general are so good at updating documentation, we get a tool to see into the past.
