Here's a funny story. When I was a wee tot, around 8-10 years old, I had a 200+ hour save game in my Gold Version. Thing is, my Gold version is the Vietnamese hack version with a broken english translation where it progressively halts to become understandable and all that was left were symbols and gibberish past Goldenrod City. So as a young'un with determination, I managed to complete the game and now I was on my way to Kanto Postgame (Mind you, the game was still barely understandable), and went on the ship going to Kanto. Now, it takes time for the ship to get to Kanto (requiring you to rest in a bed to progress), but since the translation hack was incomprehensible, I did not know thst you had to rest in a bed (since the sailor is just speaking heiroglypics) so I basically beat the whole ship, but I still cannot fathom how to progress! Mindlessly tapping A on windows, searching trash cans repeatedly, breaking the A button for spam talking to that sailor blocking the door. Tired of just roaming into the ship, I just put down the game, and then around 8 months later, a good buddy of mine wanted to trade Pokemon with his legit Silver Version, I went like, 'sorry, I got a fake Pokèmon version.' He was like 'oh, thats cool, can I check it out?' I let him play, and just 10 mins in, I saw that he is now just roaming about Vermilion City! I kicked myself so hard for not having learned about sleeping in beds and not just tapping A at windows and repeatedly talking to that sailor blocking the damned door. I remember this distinctly because I once lived in the Middle East and original things were expensive, and so I just had to bear with the fake versions just to experience Pokèmon, and though fake, had me pour hours and hours of fun in an age where the internet is still a seedling to bloom, and phones weren't even smart yet. The catridge is long gone, unfortunately. I miss my odd team of a Machoke, a Dodrio, a Scyther, an Ariados (another bug type, for some reason), a Lugia, and my Feraligator. Good times indeed. This game may be old, but definitely lives up to age like fine wine to me. Thanks for this video, man. +Sub for the nostalgia, and for finishing the game in accordance to Nintendo. :D

Dude i was stuck on the ship for months because i didnt understand english and didnt know you had to rest in the bed

[@fluffyninja3467]

That's honestly amazing, rip your squad man. I know your comment is old, but I'm genuinely curious what it was like to play the game, I've seen the "translation" around the Internet for years, but ofc never played it. What kind of "jibberish" was there when it broke past goldenrod? Was it broken English or did it just completely nosedive into an unreadable mess? Did it ever crash?

[@oceanman6973]

[@Warhawk9012]

10:10 The *3 question marks* could be meant as a surprise, since Magcargo is a Pokemon the player likely hasn't seen before Blaine's gym. The guide I had as a kid loved to hype up certain Johto Pokemon as "mysterious." I still have the Versus Books Gold & Silver Adventure Guide where most rare, swarming and post-game Johto Pokemon (Dunsparce, Skarmory, Slugma, Misdreavus, etc.) have a circle and question mark instead of name and picture. For whatever reason, Magcargo is listed as one of Blaine's Pokemon, so maybe the "mystery factor" in my guide was just for wild encounters. Who knows, maybe they actually did forget what Blaine's lead was? LOL! *I'm loving the Nintended series so far; keep hammering away and laying down the law!*

Good video, I enjoy experiencing the game vicariously through you and get nostalgic. When I was around 12 I saved up and bought a lime green Gameboy Color and Pokemon Silver. I still have them both in great condition, unfortunately had to replace the battery in the game cartridge so the original save is gone but now its good to go for years. I was obsessed as a kid, and eventually bought this guide as well and it made my experience so much better and immersive. I also had a pocket pikachu color, worm light, link cable and gameshark. This game has incredible replay value and depth. After playing Pokemon Red like an addict, I was blown away as a kid when I realized all the different things that happen exclusively at certain times or days of the week in this game. The link cable underground battle club, bug catching competitions, clefairy dance, radio lottery, a certain person at the mart on only sundays, mystery gift, etc. It had me hooked, under the blankets at night with the wormlight often, trying to see every little easter egg available. Without a guide on first play through as a kid, you miss a ton of things.

I really don't think there's any gameboy limitations involved, though, because they easily could have just used the mountain terrain to form a wall at the edge of the town to at least convey the idea of a mountain. There is a volcano in other media, but considering GSC is a direct sequel to RGB, the Canon of the games is all that's really relevant here. Nothing even mentions a volcano in RGB. That said, the fact that there's so many fire types with no particularly natural home in RGB might imply that there was at one point supposed to be a volcano there.

@GHZ J2391 I agree the level scaling and overall progression towards the end game in gen 2 isn't good. Mostly a problem for people solo running or not leveling other pokemon as they go. Especially the Kanto gyms. I think that kind of exp share you mentioned is boring though. I haven't played anything past gen 5. Gen 1 had similar exp share mechanics, though so I can commenton that. It was a key item that split half the exp between party pokemon with the other half going to the battle participants. I look at it like this, what is the point of having a hundred (or in the case of newer gens multiple hundreds of) individual pokemon if you never at least try to use them. Granted not everyone will play a game for the same reasons, and everyone is going to have their preferred playstyles.

[@Dinoxdeath]

I'm just now watching through this series, unlocking some long lost memories. When I played Gold I didn't speak any English, but I managed to beat it because I remember getting to post-game - and then becoming confused because I didn't know how to get back, and then once I managed I couldn't return because I had no clue what to do except for trying allll the things. So because I couldn't find the boat again, I thought I had made it up and there never was a post game to start with. Maybe I should give it another go 🤔😂

In hindsight it would have been pretty cool if every game let you go back to kanto as a post game to see how it progresses over the years or from another perspective. Like did blaine ever build a new gym or was cinnabar abandoned? Did remnants of rocket dully go away? Did the saffron fighting gym ever get certified? Did Misty ever get to go on her date? I wish to know these things.

Imagine if Blaine moved to fighting dojo because Cinnabar got demolished and karate kings were like "aw come on, we're kicked out again?" So they build another gym next to other two just to spite Blaine and Sabrina lmaoooo

[@dryhad9253]

This is based on ~20 year old memories of this very guide, but I was always pretty sure that there were a number of pokemon that they were either not allowed or not willing to spoil for the guide, hence the ??? in Blaine's team and stuff like the missing baby pokemon pictures (it wasn't that they lost the pictures or didn't know where to find them). I seem to remember it also being fairly coy about the identity of the Tyrogue you get from Karate Master Kiyo (despite [mis]naming Tyrogue in the section about baby pokemon); they were allowed to publish full details of Hitmontop but only a little bit about Tyrogue. Again, this all made perfect sense to me at the time and while it does seem weird and arbitrary in retrospect, it feels like the kind of information management that sometimes happens around newly released games.

I personally think it would make sense to be able to pick up a legit mew after some puzzle solving in the kanto post-game in gold/silver/crystal.

Always love this kinda videos

[@fnbs89]

The King Returns.

[@leo13246]

FUCK YEAH I DROPPED EVERYTHING TO WATCH THIS

[@Nathan_Moor]

Since it was printed before the game was released, the Blaine part might have been for Mewtwo (I believe its like that in the manga), but then it might have been changed before release.

[@Paladinjon11]

Having just binge watched all of these Pokemon as Nintended videos I would personally like to see another Pokemon video. But I do not think that I would be adverse to seeing something else. Especially if it's an older game

[@wanderingrandomer]

I had a bunch of Pokemon guides as a kid, so I pretty much did it this way every time

[@BlackTempleGaurdian]

I hammered away at that like button.

[@ValkyrieBladenaster]

Link's Awakening as Nintended! Or Diamond and Pearl

[@gregtrial1930]

I don't think I've ever had a guide book for any game new or old that didn't have insane errors. I do miss them though! 😭

[@JohnnyBsKillz115]

Appreciate the "hammer away" call back!

[@Prithvi-]

Nice! you hammererd away most of the game

[@aceclover758]

As someone said, it was very rude and wrong for them to literally demolish a Pokemon Tower for graves to build a Radio Tower I’m betting LAvandar citizens made a lot of push back and the people building the tower didnt give a fuck about pokemon The Johto Radio leader said he built the tower to honor pokemon, but he built it over the old radio tower that was falling apart. The Kanto Radio leader can never say something like that since he isn’t honoring Pokemon at all. He couldve opened up the radio station anywhere but choose to demolish grave site

[@redpredator0442]

Hey love your videos keep up the good work and have fun doing it Pokémon is one of my favourite franchises 👍

[@Kafrein]

I think the Magcargo thing is because you dont encounter it in the game before that

[@PaPaSea]

It's still very strange how it's the only pokemon they don't show

[@gamerdude491]

Recommendation for future games: anything that allows for tons of customization in approach so the guide used will carry more weight. Zelda might be fun as an aside, but RPGs will probably be the best choice of games to use since your style will be dictated by the recommendations the guide makes. Paper Mario or Final Fantasy perhaps?

[@javiercmh]

I remember I got stuck at this part so I never finished it and I lost the savefile. So thanks for showing me what happens afterwards :D

[@kazemizu]

You can’t take the boat everyday. That is Ninento forcing you to explore the post game area.

[@fluffyduck-b2e]

i would love one of these videos for spin-off games like pokemon rangers shadows above almia because back when i got this game as a kid many many christmases ago i got it with a guide book and it was actually really good

[@Tired.]

KZbin nintended for me to see this video and enjoy it as i always do great vid PaPa

[@sasukegaming8289]

Me waiting for these words 1) hammering away 2) lay waste to law

[@bubblewrapvillain]

Dispatch

[@abarette_]

Yeah, it is considered as Postgame, however in speedruns Red is where the speedrun really ends. Not the same as BW where doing the game to Alder is considered in a different category. EDIT: About Magcargo, it's probably because Slugma is literally the latest Pokemon you can get apart from Larvitar in the game.

[@Brittanyknuckles1427]

Wow. I cannot believe I had gold when it first came out and I just learned today, like 20 years later, that I could have gotten Lugia as well as ho oh. I’m upset af at younger me for not talking to that npc. Wtf.
