I Beat Pokemon Gold & Silver How Nintendo Intended!

[@k1tsune_777]

I like how the guide is like: "You played red/blue? Yeah? So you know Kanto. Go figure the rest out by yourself. I ain't help with this."

[@Che1ito]

19:16 the Rocket Grunt tells you he hid the part in the water in the gym after you beat him on the bridge.

[@Stonerman135]

Yup, just gotta surf around while hitting "A" everywhere. Or at least that's how I figured it out as a kid.

[@Che1ito]

I honestly thought you had to beat the Rocket for the item to spawn when I was a kid. It wasn't until fairly recently that I learned that it spawned from talking to the Plant Manager.

[@montyeggman3075]

7:41 Sir, this is a Whitney's.

[@jordanwillnance]

“Search the grass, you never know what you may find..” I encountered Raikou and Entei each on that route. Failed to capture though.

[@ABurntMuffin]

anyone else be like 7 year old me, and give your rival a name of '???' because that's how it appears when he battles you and you wanted to give the police accurate information?

[@dominicmoisant8393]

Yup lol I always did it since he literally says, "my name is ???"

[@nickporter9264]

I named my rival Boy

[@TheSethywethy]

I totally did this but I was like 10 or 11 when this came out

[@chardaskie]

My kryptonite is Yo Mama jokes and the quick deadpan delivery gets me everytime.

[@lefterisv1088]

I miss those times. You couldn't ask internet for help, you just hoped that you would find that kid in the playground who had beat the game for some tips. We didn't understand english at the time, so beating the game was actually an important goal. The thrill when you face the first legendary, the stakes when battling the champion... Pure nostalgia...

Yes i loved it. I still know that i didn't know how to continue after the 7th Gym because you have to go to the Radio Tower before being able to enter the 8th Gym. So i just fought wild Pokémon in the grass until someone told me

[@0condolences]

"we didn't understand English" speak for yourself

[@chardaskie]

​@@0condolencesYou're an idiot. When he says "we" he is referring to his friends and "kids at the playground" who are all presumably from a country that primary language is not English.

[@patriciaverso]

​@@0condolences They were. No need to be a prick.

[@sabakunosilver]

"Search the grass here for awhile - you never know what you'll run into." On my first playthrough when I was 13 years old. In this grass, I found a shiny Drowzee. My first ever shiny. I will always remember that.

[@callumw5396]

I think it's a reference to the random swarms of yanma that can come up in the grass there.

[@lazerbeam134]

I mean the guide writer isn't wrong though. Grass types are screwed in Johto

[@deconyus3412]

-Hates grass types -Loves Geodude -Thinks flying type is a hindrance I think this guide was made by Brock

[@OneFloofyBooper]

Funny thing about not evolving Sunkern, as a kid I didn't know that Sunkern evolved with a sun stone, and I levelled mine up to 50 before figuring it out

[@enoyna1001]

If you feel better about it, I also used this damn Spiky-eared Pichu in SoulSilver in the hope it would learn some new moves...

I had to stop the video to comment how I had no clue there were cameras in that hideout and that you didn’t have to fight all those grunts 😂

[@WhatAreDrums729]

The strategy guide I got for these games had a misprint in the Ice Path map: one boulder in the first big ice puzzle was one spot out of place, making it seem like there was no way through!

[@phyllotaxis]

12:35 Honestly I feel like a lot of the people who complain about gen 2 have only watched challenge runs of it, it's still plenty fun to play casually.

[@archerelms]

Definitely

[@Megaman.ExE7]

I love this series. It is incredibly cozy and always a great way to start or end my day. Thanks PaPaSea!

[@stigmaoftherose]

Furet not only learns all the same moves as sentrent, doesnt learn any move past level 48, but also learns its moves 1, 3, 5 and 7 levels above sentrent for each new move. Crazy how each level up move is +2 more compared to the pre evolution.

[@Kahadi]

A character in gen 1 actually talks about that sort of thing, saying that while Pokemon get stronger upon evolving, keeping it from evolving can let it learn moves faster. The character is even debating evolving their Pokemon because of this. It is very weird that the guide claims Furret doesn't gain a new move until level 80. They are right that it can be beneficial to hold off on evolving Sentret to learn moves a bit faster, but their information is just wrong...

[@bauaserkun]

'But it may be tuesday the day you watch it' It is indeed.

[@JaybeePenaflor]

9:38 It’s Tuesday morning when I was watching this!

[@BiohazardEXTREME]

As I recall, wherever I pre-ordered my version of Gold from, they were doing a bundle deal where it came with this particular guide. Or maybe they were just upselling the guide to people who bought the game, either way, I got this guide with my copy of the game. It was pretty helpful overall!

[@_rockseeker]

I did, in fact, watch this on a Tuesday.

[@DJGURR]

Oh man I had that exact guide when I got gold and my first Gameboy color for Christmas of 2000. I was 7. Man the very beginning of Pokémon is so nostalgic for me

2:30 first complete mistake: Furret after evolving learns: Fury Swipes at 18, Slam at 28, Rest at 38, and Amnesia at 48 NO LEVEL 80 MOVE Guide!

When the guild said you never know what you might find in the grass, they were probably referencing the new “roaming” Pokemon.

Atomic purple gameboy color! Let's gooooo!!!! Twinsies! Also, my first pokemon game was Silver too. Loving the video already

[@MLPIceberg]

I think you're the second person I've ever seen on the internet in over 15 years to use Celtic Guardian as a pfp. lol It is one of my favorite cards. After the Legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, of course~

[@iowa89357]

@MLPIceberg Celtic guardian kills blue eyes! Took out 1 head of ultimate dragon, and was about to take out a second. Original art reminded me of adult link from ocarina of time (probs my fave video game ever), so became my favorite card. (Visually, not for use) (that's mystic mine) Should see my collection of Celtic Guardians

6:25 was uncalled for 😂

[@Numba003]

[@jamaalpete9238]

I don’t remember this Croconaw sprite; it’s got a Slick-back thing goin on, I love it 😂

[@TomAmit42]

20:35 But Red's team does have similarities to Ash's team. Ash is the reason that Red has a Pikachu, a Snorlax, and all three Kanto Starter families. Ash and Red are not the exact same charcter, but they are multiversal counterparts. Nobody can claim the two are unrelated.

[@deathstinger13]

the rocket grunt you beat tells you where the machine part is. The grunt you NEED to beat to get the machine part. The machine part doesn't even spawn until after you beat that grunt and he tells you where it is in broken english

[@diggy4058]

Pokemon gold and silver are my favorites. This brought back some great memories

[@garythacker6731]

Man I had that guide growing up. That's so nostalgic.

[@stigmaoftherose]

I thought he meant the in game mother and was really confused at first. Had to rewind and get roasted 3 times before I got it.

[@mydjsobad]

This isn't an "official" guide, only the Nintendo Power guides were actually developed and approved by Nintendo directly. This is just a licensed 3rd party book.

[@Mrperson0]

Have to say, pretty interesting to see how these other guides are. I've only been interested in the ones by Nintendo Power, and I'm surprised that you haven't gone over that one!

[@djcleveland9192]

4:00 I once named the rival youngster joey to see if the police would arrest him lol it was my first time playing

[@gamerse7en560]

When I was a kid I got this guide as a gift but I only had and played red also yellow. Eventually got silver.

[@IAmBretticus]

I had this same guide growing up! I used it pretty religiously

[@NintendoFreakLan]

Man I had a COMPLETELY different guide to this game as a kid.

[@lilsunny7399]

I think the guide is referring to the fact that pokemon yellow kinda tailors certain fights and encounters to make it feel more like you're playing as Ash. Pikachu starter, ability to obtain all 3 starters, Surge only has a Raichu etc. Plus as a kid who didn't bother catching anything from the grass using 5 gift pokemon and a Snorlax you were forced to encounter is a realistic team for yellow version. Though it's odd how he has an Espeon in GS. Lapras fits better.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Yeah, red is absolutely a nod to the yellow protagonist, not wanting to canonize any of the Kanto starters to represent all players. agreed on Lapras being a better fit thematically (overlaps with Blastoise, though). I like the change in HGSS. Now the change I don't get is why he has a random Machamp he never used anywhere else in HGSS instead of the Alakazam.

[@boonski]

Sentret doesn't learn Psychic.

[@amberwelch393]

I really hope they do another Johto remake (and improve the chikorita line) or have chikorita as a starter in a future legends game because I really like the chikorita line, but it's just not good

[@Kwikpanik]

Great vid! Except for the part where you said you considered Ledyba to be the quintessential gen 2 Bug type when Scizor and Heracross are RIGHT THERE??

[@SomeGuy712x]

(2:23) Where does the guide get "80(!)" from?! Furret's next move after evolving at level 15 is Fury Swipes at level 18. Maybe whoever was writing that part of the guide misheard "18" as "80" when someone else was telling them what to write? (16:06) Actually, it's Dragonair for Rhydon, and it sounds like you'd get a Dragonair if you traded her a Rhydon. (19:15) When you defeat the Rocket Grunt that stole the part, I believe he actually tells you that he hid it in the water in Cerulean Gym.

Love your content bro

[@DukeDarkshadow]

I know these guides are traditionally plagued with mistakes, but I've noticed a very unusual "mistake" (for lack of a better term) in the guide. Starting at about 0:55, he flips to a page showing Zubat's evolution line which shows the newly introduced Crobat. From there, two more page flips shows Slowpoke's evolution line, now including the newly introduced Slowking. One more page flip and we see the new Bellossom added among the Oddish line. BUT....from there, the very next page turn shows the Poliwag line WITHOUT any mention of Politoed????

[@thefirespecialist9007]

Gen 2 was the best. The fact they haven't ported the games to switch is wild

[@MLPIceberg]

Why do that when they can milk the fans with a crappy Go aesthetic to a "remake" of Gen 2? I know it's happening, the two Let's Go games sold very well after all. Unless of course, they're waiting for the 30th anniversary in a couple years to re-release the first 3 gens on the Switch (or it's rumored successor). Who knows at this point with the reveal of Pokémon Legends: AZ...

[@BigJoe5.0]

@MLPIceberg they need to remake gen 2 again like they did with heart gold soul silver but for the switch or whatever next gen console. They could throw in some added content for them. But to be honest the gaming companies don't focus on quality games now they just push out whatever crap they know will make quick money like the lets go bs so all this is wishful thinking.
