    So, from what I understand, in the anime, the winner of the Pokémon League tournament for a region gets the chance to fight against the Elite Four. By winning against the Elite Four, you are then permitted to challenge the Champion. A person who defeats the Champion this way or an Elite Four Member who defeats the Champion this way becomes the new Champion for that region’s league.
    Either that, or the winner enters a smaller tournament consisting of themself, the Elite Four, and the Champion, and the winner of this mini-tournament is the champion.

We could order whatever books we wanted that were in the catalogues and could read them and had to take tests on the books we read for credits in some classes. I was a major bookworm back then, so I read like huge 1,000+ page books and would always get lots of credits and I actually found it really fun. All the Harry Potter books, all the Eragon books, all the Bobby Pendragon books and so many more.

It was a little over $10 so my sister had to break her $20 bill which annoyed her. I loved reading it front and back and just looking through it when I was bored. However i noticed it was filled with errors: spelling errors, wrong evolution charts etc. Later they released a updated version that fixed the mistakes and included the Platinum Pokmeon. I didn’t ask for it because I knew my family would get annoyed buying essentially the same book twice. But man do I wish I got the updated version instead.

But here's where it got crazy: Ever since then, it would almost always survive on just 1 hp, deal extra damage, and such, and this was super great, and I basically, in trying to get it to listen to my commands, made it the most stat-boosted friendship-based training pokemon ever.

      The early Pokémon anime was weird, too weird. You can't trust it for any info, mainly things like in-game mechanics or EVEN ITSELF, it just contradicts it's own self way too often. There were real life animals in Season One, does that concept still exist? I don't think so. The Pokédex is nearly sentient in half of the original show, is that still a thing? No. Levels were only noted in The School of Hard Knocks where it was portrayed like in the games but then again the show contradicted itself on the moves Ash's Pokémon know, such as Pikachu's Thunderbolt, and etc. Levels are again "used" in the Pummelo Island GYM where Drake constantly talks about levels but it only seems to be about the strength of the Pokémon; After that I do not know if they have used the word levels in the context of "On this level, the Pokémon evolves, on this one, he learns new moves" because early Pokémon was weird and wack, being an anime of a glitched, gringy and mainly story-less game, so they were still figuring out what concepts to keep or to adapt.

    I had the original gen 1 handbook with the red cover. The biggest mistake I remember from that one was that it claimed Hitmonlee evolved into Hitmonchan. They corrected it in the delux edition. The gen 2 handbook, atleast the version I had, didn't even have all of the gen 2 pokemon. I remeber it had the starters, the baby forms and evolved forms of gen 1 pokemon, but hardly anything else. Im pretty sure it didn't have the legendary beasts or Ho-oh, Lugia, or Celebi.

    This was great!!! This brought back old memories of my gen 4 handbook that I used so much it started falling apart lollll. I remember being annoyed at all the mistakes too, and I would love if you made a part 2 to this video going over some of the other handbooks!!

    19:57 soooo the anime actually DOES reference levels. There’s an episode in the first series where Ash visits a rich private school and the kids are learning what “level” different pokemon evolve at
