I’ll never quite get over the fact that they decimated an entire tower of irreplaceable Pokémon graves and built a radio tower in its place.

Fun fact: you can meet back up with the Rocket Grunt who stole the Power Plant part in generation 5. He lives in Unova and has a family by that point in time!

Back at it hammering away through the games and laying down the law

Ah yes, Earth types. They're weak against the elusive Bird types lol

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

I love how in the johto games, people consider the game's final boss as red rather then lance. Really goes to show how much dominance he exerts

Fun fact: the first time I beat Gold, I just mashed A through all the dialogue. This includes the Prof. Elm call telling you where to get the SS ticket. So I had no idea how to access the rest of Kanto for months before I could finally get on a computer and look it up. But on the bright side I used that time to get my Dragonite to lvl 100 so red was a breeze.

The pride I feel in my friend for finally blowing up after having the tenacity to keep making videos for YEARS and never giving up is unmatched. You are a specimen unlike any other and far superior to myself, I gave up so long ago on my personal channel, and could never have managed the work you have put in for literally free until now. Congratulations, my brother. May this series take you far and your success take you beyond your wildest dreams.

Skin crawl- something disturbing that makes you shiver,basically.

I remember Emerald’s Prima guide also being excellent if you want to try that instead to not repeat games. A friend of mine owned it when I was a kid and it was so pretty to look at that I remember buying him lunch just to let me borrow it even though I’d already beaten the game. It even has sections for each brain in the Battle Frontier.

Fun fact: There's another GS guide out there that says you should have pokemon that are at least level 41 to take on red. 8 year old me was not prepared.

I think that the magcargo thing was to scare you, or they just forgot about magcargo and were too lazy to check

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!*

Looking back at LGPE. The Cycling road isnt Cycling road anymore. Its just...... *Road*

Can you do this with EarthBound? The official Player’s Guide is available online for free, courtesy of Nintendo themselves.

Still trying to figure out WHAT Volcano erupted on Cinnabar Island.

I like the fact that some random npc has a key item. Just kind of reflects how some unassuming people can have the wildest and unbelievable stories.

Kanto was definitely minimized in gold/silver but it was an ambitious undertaking at the time on a portable game without much storage. It blew me away as a kid and made the pokemon world feel more alive seeing how kanto evolved after I played pokemon blue and yellow. It was also cool to finally see the ss anne could go somewhere.

I love the running gag of “hammering away” in this series

A new player after reading about Blaine's ??? Pokémon : Oh my god, I think he is about to use a legendary, if he'll be that tough, there's no way I am gonna defeat Blue, I am scared! After seeing it's a Magcargo which get one shot by a single Earthquake : Rest In Peace guide book, now I am gonna hammer away you...

This man Sounds like a librarian.

I love that it was some random npc with the Rainbow /Silver Wing, makes it like a secret that you have to find/run into instead of scripted event.

I feel like a fallout or elder scrolls game would fit into this style well

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've never been a fan of the stories of Pokémon. Even as a kid but my God, just steamrolling through the old places I loved was the best experience I've ever had playing Pokémon.

you know for the longest time i thought slugma and magcargo were gen 3 pokemon.......

That was the most amazing thing to literally have a whole other game to beat after the main game . I remember hoping that we would go back to kanto when I beat this game and it totally happened. I was so happy.

I had this Prima guide as well as its updated version that fixed about 50% of the errors but still had errors. I always thought that this initial version of the guide seemed like it was trying to keep some things secret so that you’d discover them on their own. I thought it was silly when it called Wobbuffet horrifying and mysterious in the Dark Cave section (not mentioning it by name) - that’s one of the other cases akin to the Magcargo one you call out the guide on.

there's so much to explore and do in this generation! combined with being able to play as a female trainer for the first time in Crystal, there are so many happy memories you helped me remember. thank you ❤

I really wish giovanni had some kind of influence in this, like maybe he became the owner of a museum or the president of police idk

The dancing Clefairy also leave a Moon Stone behind.

You could always do the Legend of Zelda games as Nintended.

I've never cared for the post game. But GSC are my most nostalgic games. I love them.

Another amazing video, don't even need to watch it to know.

they totes forgot about magcargo or something and then played it up as something scary to hide the fact that they forgot

Here's a fun fact: Erika was originally going to be a ghost type gym leader in lavender town. In Red, Green, and Blue she's wearing something (I forget what exactly) that is worn in Japanese culture but the way she's wearing it is the way someone wears it if they're dead, in Yellow they changed it to be worn the normal way. Also Agatha was originally not going to have any ghost types on her team too. Also Giovanni was organized going to be a Flying-Type gym leader...oh I'm rambling again

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.

Ngl you are doing a great job not only with the videos but also the thumbnails. Very well designed and eye catching. Watched the first part of this like 3 times because when I see such a cool thumbnail I can't help but want to rewatch! Keep up the great work!

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.

The post-game of Gold and Silver is fantastic!

When I was younger, I wish I had not been so afraid to erase my game and start over but trading Pokémon to another game and also starting over with Pokémon caught in postgame traded back to the game, faster EXP too!

10:03 I'd like to think that's because he is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master"

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! I WAS SO UPSET YOU LEFT US HANGING! Thank you!

Tbh I always found the Kanto portion to be rather anticlimactic when I was a kid.

The pallet in this game is so pleasant

Do Pokemon Colosseum I remember having that guide as a kid and it would be cool I think it was a prima guide

Over 160 pages? Dang, I forgot just how meaty strategy guides used to be back then. The last few strategy guides I ever saw in stores were around when the Switch came out, and they were all tiny little dinky things for $9.99 or $14.99 US. I still have some of these old guides, in particular, one for Gold and Silver that, I don't remember the publisher, but I remember the guide being really snarky and sarcastic about most of the Pokémon, but it was also the first guide to have an actual Pokedex inside

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 🤔😂

Love the series! Would love to see you doing a big ol' game like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. I remember using the FFIX guide tears ago and getting baffled when i couldnt learn a certain spell in Dali that the guide assured me i could!

“As Nintended” is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I cant believe the gameboy color could actually fit 2 regions Granted there are a few changes but hey that's cool since you get that nostalgia

Definitely more Pokémon games! I collect the Pokémon guide books so it’s interesting to see someone follow them so closely to beat these games

I love these videos. Keep up the great work!

I was just playing pokemon crystal and am at this very point in the game. you forget how good it is sometimes. amazing video!

You uploaded this while I was playing Pokémon Silver

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

I get home after a long day at work and what’s the first video KZfaq suggests? Papasea’s new video. Time for some much needed enjoyment ❤️

The most anticipated sequal of 2021.

i just started watching this video series today and huh ! what do you know, a new video ! a very welcome surprise, these are very fun videos :-)

Decent video! Thanks for uploading!

I believe that Blaine at one point was planed to have a Mewtwo in Gold and Silver, but it ended up being cut and replaced. That might be were the comment comes from in the guide. 9:55 This ended up being depicted in the Manga as Blaine is part of Mewtwo's creation, but it never did make it into the games. The let's go games did point this out more though.

This is such a fun series!

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?

NGL i love these videos

Always love this kinda videos

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

Im a new sub and already loving all your vids!!

It would be interesting to have a evaluation of a few of the most significant or major guides for a certain Pokémon game, comparing a few criteria, such as for example wich has the best strategy, best written with fun lore and trivia and wich is easiest to understand, or something similar.

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

The credits roll after you fight red so you could count beating red as becoming the actual Pokemon champion

Man just watching the first pt made happy but now I feel even more happy thanks to this 2nd pt

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.

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! 😭

I appreciate you showing the page on Red. There's just something about old documented info

the Prima ruby/sapphire guide is something I used to read myself to sleep with o.0

Challenge idea, baby pokemon only, pichu, azurill, togepi etc. Since you seemed impressed by the daily events, did you also know, that the game had gameboy printer functionality? I personally completely overlooked this feature. I also didn't understand the 'envelopes' and 'stamps' and things from the hoenn region. I also didn't really do anything with the secret base system in that game. I was also one of those dumb kids who only played through the game once. 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.

I never actually played the original Gold and Silver. Just crystal and it ended up being one of my favorite games

Espeon is a pokemon cheat code on older pokemon games :D even Red was beaten by me one time with an Espeon lvl 60 and nothing else

I had Gold and Crystal. They were a blast and I stopped playing pokemon after that cause I didn't get a GBA until much later on. In 2009 I did spend the whopping $60 for a micro and Firered. Love watching your videos to clue me in was there anything I missed. But yeah, the post games were awesome. In Firered, the Sevi islands were mind blowing to me after I beat Blaine. I couldn't sleep that night after beating Blaine, I had to play through until I fixed that machine on Sevi island 1. What a blast.

Awesome video as always.

I just beat Kaneshiro's palace in Persona 5 today, and as I'm watching the intro, all I can notice is that you used Life Will Change. I approve.

Nice! you hammererd away most of the game

Oh, I was waiting for this!

I remember losing to Red at least 20 times when I was 7. Ended up winning because I had a level 88 Feraligatr and a 71 Lugia with a bunch of fillers lol

I have a different guide for gold and silver that I picked up for $4 used as a kid called the official perfect guide. You're making me want to play through gold and silver again. They're my favourite games.

This is blowing my mind, i never you could go back to the gen 1 place. 20 years or so after playing this game lol!

So, the guide I had growing up called Red's Espeon something COMPLETELY different. Little did I know back then that the guide didn't actually TRANSLATE Espeon's name, calling it EIFIE. Sabrina's Espeon was ESPEON. But not Red's Espeon. So, for the longest time, I thought Red had some super secretly rare Pokemon, because they didn't have any images for the pokemon used.

you're my favorite channel to watch late at night on my 3ds

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

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

Your one of my new favorite youtubers

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.

I didn't know there were different guides from different people, though now that I think about it I'm not surprised. Hopefully you can make some kind of video out of those other guides? I would love to hear from you which is the "best" guide. Maybe look at fanmade guides on the internet as well??

Link's Awakening as Nintended! Or Diamond and Pearl

I forgot all the bits that had to be done to get through Kanto in this.

I love this series

I don't really have a game suggestion for you unless you want to stick with Pokemon then maybe Emerald (if you haven't already done it still semi-new subscriber so haven't back-tracked through your playlists to check) anyway wonderful video and Amazing Work all round 🙂

I had this guide and if I remember Electronics Boutique in the UK had an extra guide with it. This was basically an all 251 pokemon pokedex one with what tms and hms they could learn. So I assumed you were always suppose to have both to complement as they were purchased together. Probably the magcargo description was in the pokedex so you cross referenced. A lot of fun the two games were over summer and autumn 2001. Gold and Silver era pokecards also had been released at the league I attended and it was my first real pokemon era that was new.

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