For anyone wanting a Fire-type early game without choosing Cyndaquil, in Crystal they added a grass patch northwest of Violet City that has Growlithe.
This is the like one change/improvement that Crystal had over Gold and Silver that didn't get added to HG/SS. And it bothers me to this day for some reason.
@@TheBucketBrigade heart gold and soul silver are super overrated remakes. the games are pretty and the following pokemon are cool, but they didnt fix the terrible encounter tables and they didnt fix the level curve of the game. mount silver, which can only be unlocked after 16 badges , has level 40 wild pokemon. the route below the 8th gym city has level 20 pokemon when the gym's ace is level 40. i liked playing them as a kid, but i came to realize that it was mostly because i just use my starter, an ampharos and a shiny gyarados. if you want to catch a pokemon later on in the game its simply unusable because you cant grind them anywhere
wooooooooooow
i havent heard such a dogsh!t opinion in a while
congrats
hgss are considered by almost everyone *LITERALLY* the best pokemon games. mainline, spinoff, ect. all of them.
only b2w2 get even close
wow.
He got a magby lol
@@joaobrito2653 I was always had this same rant about the games! This is also the reason why I started to dislike the attention GameFreak gives to Kanto over all. Why Johto gyms could not get stronger pokemon in the grass or stronger gym leader! I get it is because of the post game, but what if I want to train new pokemon I caught! I am going to be unable to to level them as fast as I wish even with the proper item. migh have this be the origin of the broken Exp. Share item issue in the gen 6 games, I wonder.
Crystal will forever be my favourite game, I absolutely love the aesthetics of it, especially after playing Red version back in the year 2000 at five years old - this being my next Pokemon game was beyond amazing.
and the music too.
pure nostalgia in chiptune
To each their own, but Heartgold and Soulsilver are the same experience with MASSIVE quality of life improvements. I played crystal for hundreds of hours, but it's such an annoying game to go back too after experiencing gen 3 and onwards.
Same man I started off on Red version back in elementary school , once crystal came out it changed the game all the neighborhood kids would be outside playing on our gamboys trading with link cables and battling
Man I miss those times more than anything !!! Gen 2 always holds a special place in my heart
As a kid we had this guide book but none of the games so I used to read it and play make believe like I was going through the game so it has a special place in my heart
I did this with a few cheat books ! Imagination took us many places
You are a good burger 🍔 😊
I had one of these for gold and it was in Japanese but I played heartgold so it was slightly different and it was fun to try to use the guide without actually being able to read the guide
Bruh I had the Pokémon Yellow Version Guidebook and did the same thing too!! I’m glad I’m not the only one lol
This hit me in the feels for some reason
At 17:20 when he mentions Meganium, I had completely forgot it was on the team. RIP Chikorita
Rip
Can’t believe dude said grass type was the best starter in gen 2 😂😂😂😂 literally the worst
Without having any experience or never having a guide, I remember getting an Umbreon from the Eevee I was given in Goldenrod City. It felt great and helped me a lot with the Elite Four as well as the good piloswine I caught in that same cave. I do not know about you, but I repeated my team for the remake and evolved the piloswine before getting the National Dex to be that trainer who has a pokemon that is not registered in the pokedex. That felt greater.
It's really a shame that sword and shield umbreon is entirely useless
Bro I was so mad as a kid because I didn't know the Day/night evolutions.. I thought I got the wrong Eevee because it kept trying to evolve into Espeon... I eventually just kept it until I got the thunderstone in Kanto
Made even better when you used the duplication glitch and got 5 eevees so you could have every evolution in a team haha
@@Michael1Nightmare i had no idea about that glitch. Was it for the original games or the remakes
@@TheBeretTalks Original (gold/silver/crystal), it had to do with the save formatting of the game. You could duplicate any pokemon and the item they were holding (such as a rare candy or master ball) Save your game, then access your pc in the pokemon center, place the pokemon you want to duplicate into one of your boxes. change the box, which requires a save. Click save, but whil the three dots are flashing, before it actually saves, shut off the game. When you turn it back on, the pokemon and the item will still be in your party, but there will now be a duplicate in your PC box. You can duplicate up to five at a time, since you have to keep 1 pokemon on you
I unironically used to call the rival ??? As a kid because I just thought that was his name. Took me actually years to realise it was just a way to name him whatever you wanted
I named him "Rival"
I also name him ???
They did it better in the remake
As far as researchers not knowing about Pokemon eggs, in Red and Blue it was implied that pokemon hadn't existed for centuries, but just appeared one day recently (which was why Oak's pokedex started empty, etc.) So if Pokemon were brand new, then the fact that even Pokemon who appear to be mammals lay eggs would be quite a surprise!
Ofc, the ruins of alph in GSC was the first step in ret-coning this idea of the Pokemon world, with RSE cementing Pokemon as having been around forever, but I think you can cut the guide writer some slack.
what about the fossil pokemon in red and blue then?
Is this not canon with Legends Arceus? Pokémon lore is convoluted lmao
Perhaps they did appear out of nowhere one day then time traveled so much they made their own origin a paradox.
@@feiradragon7915 there are so many Pokemon who can time travel now so that would legit be possible
Problem is nintendo did not know how big pokemon would become.
Remember before the Jhoto series Oak said they found 100 more pokemon.
Yet we see pictures of old people as children that had these "new" pokemon"
Pokemon series as a hole has huge plot holes due to this.
What I love so much about this guide is the little title names it gives. Whereas new guides have section titles like “getting HM Surf”, this one had cute little titles like “the famous recluse”
17:15 Just casually flexing that you were lucky enough to get Pokerus with that team reveal
I saw that and was like what the heck?! I think the first time I got it was in emerald. On my gardevoir.
I've never even seen a shiny but manage to get pokerus in every playthrough i do (maybe one or three a year)
@@enter_eagle I get that. I have never randomly encountered a shiny (have hunted for many after beating each game) but I have gotten pokerus twice. I've been playing since gold/silver came out.
@@NadiaHassan213 Oh wow, I ran into two shinies in Gold/Silver (a butterfree I caught in a bug catching contest and a magmar at the Burned Tower basement that got away) but I've never gotten pokerus ever. We're like opposites.
When I was a kid, I got pokerus on pearl and thought it was bad so I traded my Pokémon on the gts😂
I found the Lapras in Union cave as a kid simply by exploring and reading all the dialog. I think an NPC mentions it while you're in the cave.
yes he will say a monster pokemon comes out on friday howling and growling something like that. tho the days could vary with every new game.
I found out Lapras was in union cave by asking one of my classmates.
@@cameronpatterson5751 Strange roars from deep in the caves on the weekend is what he says.
Same dude I was geeked !!! I always loved exploring the map in Pokémon you find a lot of neat shit
It's always so interesting seeing what kind of team you end up getting with these. I'd probably never use a Slowpoke in a playthrough for example (because I always pick Totodile, come at me), or even think about finishing the Elite Four with a Piloswine
Slowpoke is a bit weak, but if you can trade with someone then you can have a Slowking with Surf, Confusion, and Ice Punch as soon as you can Surf to get the King's Rock.
Honestly, I agree with you on the Totodile pick. Slowpoke is good, but the coverage from Totodile is insanely useful as it can also learn a similar move set. Also, because of this, I ignored picking up the Pokémon in the Ice cave (Ice Punch in Goldenrod is something that can come in clutch). Also, many of the recommended Pokémon are not particularly amazing by any means.
As a beginner, I'd recommend getting a female Geodude over using Onyx from the trade, as Attract is an annoying move to get around for Whitney. You can use Geodude for the first four gyms before you'd have a problem. Just make sure you know rock throw in the first gym battle.
@@yakitatefreak Geodude is _amazing_ in the second gen. Goodbye Falkner and Bugsy, resist Miltank's Rollout, Morty hates that abilities aren't a thing yet, Chuck can be dangerous if he switches to Poliwrath but is easily walled, Jasmine is more easy pickings, Pryce's half-water Mon don't actually know any water moves IIRC, Claire is the only "difficult" one (and that is only if you didn't pick Totodile which is now a Feraligatr with Ice Punch and okay-ish special attack). As for the Elite Four, Will might be annoying, but Koga and Bruno are pushovers. Watch out for Karen's Vileplume. Lance is just more of Claire.
@@jonaw.2153 Agreed. At the final battle, and this is highly not recommended for beginners, you can beat Red with a full team that is below level 50 (My highest Pokémon level was 50 at the end of the fight, but the remainder of the team was 48 or 49).
I'm gonna try to accomplish something similar with HG/SS (Gen 2 Remake) as I have yet to face the E4 in the remake. And mind you, I have not touched the game until recently.
@@yakitatefreak I feel like Red is a bit more difficult in the remakes, with Pikachu having a Light Ball and so actually becoming a threat for the first time. I'm curious to see if it's possible though!
Crystal is my favorite pokemon game. It was my 3rd, I got red & gold, then crystal. The Suicune side story, Heracross was my 1st natural shiny, ever, on crystal. I also mained Aipom early on, got a shiny Cleffa w/ dizzy punch from the mystery egg. 2nd gen being the introduction to the steel & dark type, day/night cycle, being able to travel back to Kanto, crystal holds such special place in my heart
I never realized whitneys gym layout was the shape of a clefairy 🤯
not only did the sample team have mareep, it also had vulpix, which you ALSO can't get in crystal
Was just Nintendos way of making you buy more games to trade and shit , they’re marketing ideas for the early Pokémon games was petty but smart 😂
Ah yes. I remember well my first playthrough of GSC when I also named my Rival "???" because he said that was his name 🤣Great times.
Crystal was my second Pokemon game, I hold a very special place for gen 2 in my heart. This really brightened up my day
Gold was my first one, and I hold a special place for Gen 2 as well. In hindsight though, Gen 2 games were probably some of the worst handled Pokémon games. Doesn’t make me love Gold any less
@@metalmac2347
Silver was my first game, loved and played the hell out of it
@@exceptionallyriso oh I played the hell out of Gold myself. While I realize how many problems those games had now, I will never forget how much fun I had
I started on gen 1
From my memory crystal might be the very first game I ever played. Hearing the starting towns music makes me tear up
Now THIS one is a throwback. I had Crystal AND this exact guide! Wow the nostalgia of playing thru and studying every page of that book
I definitely accidentally called my rival ??? during my first Gold playthrough when I was 10. Felt very dumb when my friend told me the funny name she called hers so restarted my whole game
That subtle flex of having Pokerus for your elite four team!
08:37 Just noticed Whitney’s Gym is in the shape of a Clefairy 😊
Crystal was my first
Pokémon game and I played the absolute hell out of it! First time beating the league my team consisted of Typhlosion, Skarmory, red Gyrados, Magneton, Graveler (because I diddnt have a link cable or a friend to trade with) and Togetic. Eventually Suicune replaced the gyrados and Graveler was replaced by Lugia. I also randomly found Rioku and caught it to replace Togetic before I beat Red. I had so many memories of that game!
I genuinely laughed when you called the rival ??? because when I was a kid, that is EXACTLY what I did.
if you aren’t a snitch, it’s the only option
Yes. Please make a part two. We all love seeing these videos and the best part of Johto games is that last battle with Red.
The guy talking about slowpoke tail being tasty tripped me out as a kid.
Nidorina and Nidoqueen have been canonically sterile since Gen 1, before breeding was even introduced as a game mechanic. I don’t think there’s ever been an explanation as to why. Their Pokedex entries even contradict this, describing them feeding and protecting their young. Nidoran F is the only one of its line that can breed, yet all stages of the Nidoran M line can breed. It’s baffling.
I think it's supposed to be a reference to IRL Rhinos being notoriously hard, if not impossible to breed in captivity, and the issue usually affects female Rhinos the most.
@@caelum8160 recent (ish) studies suggest female rhinoceros find it easier to get pregnant when surrounded by other female rhinoceros- i guess like how a safe community to raise a kid in would make a more attractive place to get pregnant as a human.
it’s probably too late for rhinoceros, but still an interesting take on breeding endangered species in captivity
4:58. I always thought it was weird the way the rival is named in this game. As I kid I did the same exact thing I just named him ??? and it's actually become my standard name for him in any gen 2 play through I do lol
The classic art always makes me happy when I see it.
I'm surprised you actually managed to get Pokérus, which is rarer than getting a shiny.
that was the first time I ever got pokersus in a video
When I played Silver on my 3DS, I same across shinies like crazy, it was weird af
@@josuesorto3453 I find if you catch a wild shiny (not including the red garados) that you tend to see them quite often thereafter. If you don't you could go the whole game without seeing one. It's weird how it works on like that. I got a shiny clefa from the daycare egg once and that save file I seen many shiny.
@@WilliamWallace1337 Make sure to treat Shiny Clefa warmly and kindly, they love to use Metronome
@@WilliamWallace1337 Well, if you played crystal, the odd egg shiny chance is 1/8
I remember beating red in crystal it was SO FUN i may replay it again
Pooping in your salad was so fun
I bought Crystal on the e shop and when I started playing it again, I just felt a rush of nostalgia from my childhood. Gen 2 was my childhood.
The gen 2 games live in my heart rent-free, so I'm always down for more coverage. I remember seeing this guide in stores, but it's one of the few I never picked up. I think I still felt burned from the GS guide splitting into two for main quest and Pokedex.
I would definitely love to see part two of this one, though!
I don't know why, but I really really love these videos. And have gotten so invested and always watch the videos as soon as I see a new one released. Thanks for the amazing content! :D
I absolutely love the videos you do!! They are so calming and I love to listen to them while I play my sports games tbh lol Thank you for your great channel! Finally subbed, after all this time thinking I already was
i had this exact guide book back in the day! thanks for the nostalgia trip, papasea. i think this inspired me to play crystal again before scarlet and violet next week!
You can get Lapras in G/S too. There are a lot of references to "roaring" from deep in Union Cave.
Which is dumb because Lapras notoriously does NOT roar, lapras SINGS, in EVERY other appearance.
@@andyghkfilm2287 Makes me think of it was roaring in the Japanese version.
@@andyghkfilm2287 Wouldn't be the first time the Pokémon games are weird with their explanations of things. Just look at the status condition confused. Almost all moves that causes it makes the Pokémon Dizzy, so why didn't they call it that instead?
18:34 that Cobra Kai reference earned you a sub
I remember every time you enter a route with a new pokemon, they would have a quick summary of that pokemon. Besides Geodude, who they recommend releasing your Gen 1 Geodude/Graveler/Golem for this one because it gets Magnitude at lvl 16, I remember basically all other pokemon, almost all of them, being said to not be that good. Being new it made me think "so what 6 pokemon do I put on my team if only 2 of them are good?"
Crystal is my favourite gen 2 game, partly because of the beautiful moving sprites
I think the reason why pokemon breeding was 'just being discovered' in gen 2, was because gen 1 and 2 were partly written with the idea they take place in a slightly alternate version of the real world wherein pokemon had been absent until somewhat recently; hence all the real world references throughout gen 1, or that early gen 1 guide/pokedex that only recently got translated thanks to DYKG.
Heck, the region of Kanto is based directly on the japanese region of Kanto, and the beta version of Gen 2 was based on all of japan, with many of the early town/city names being taken directly from real areas of japan
I've been playing through Crystal Clear. The story is still intact and unmodified in the game, it's everything else that got upgraded. I recommend checking it out sometime.
Pokemon Crystal was probably the last time I got a physical guide book.
Great video as always, Sea!! I love the Nintended series. It makes me want to find guides and do something similar on my own channel!
The X Defend from Sprout Tower in Gold and Silver becoming an X Accuracy in Crystal is actually massive for Falkner because it completely nullifies the accuracy drops from Mud-Slap
I remember this guidebook being sold in blockbuster. Every day I went there after school to salivate over it. Those were the days
Given the "choose-your-order" approach of the Chuck-Jasmine-Pryce gym leaders, I'm curious to see what is the Nintended way. As per usual, I'm looking forward to seeing the team you build during this guided adventure.
2:23 - The bizarreness of Spinarak's move-set on display here as well as the misfortune of the hard-to-find Yanma learning Wing Attack as it's strongest STAB attack (really should have been a Dragon-Bug anyway).
3:54 - A handy one-stop segment for Pokémon locations would have been so helpful back in the day. Heck, it's even helpful nowadays. Kid me would not wasted my time trying to find a Slugma and Sneasel or would have known where exactly I could find a Dunsparce.
6:49 - Not a fan of the "roast" against my favourite type, but to be fair, Bugsy is using a Lv14 Metapod and a Kakuna. He kind of deserves the roast.
9:30 - Johto's bug catching contest... featuring exclusively Kanto Pokémon. Typical of Gen 2 really. Cool to see you participate.
11:48 - To be fair, the Pokémon themselves are also a bit clueless. Magnemite only discovered around this time that it was immune to Poison and for a while, Pokémon thought you Crunched down on Pokémon with special energy rather than physically biting them. The introduction of a lot of new mechanics don't make a lot of sense how folks didn't know about them beforehand.
16:44 - They really like showing off the Mareep line in this Crystal version guide, don' they?
The problem with thd whole "yanma should be a dragon type" is the Japanese name for dragonfly has nothing to do with dragons.
I swear half the fun of these videos is wild stuff in the strategy guides that doesn't make sense sometimes
I love that the guide makes a "London Calling" reference. Truly old school
This took me back. Thank you PaPa!
I love that you still say "hammer away " in honor and memory of Eric
Naming the rival ??? Was exactly what I did when I first played through gold as a kid for that exaxt reason. I was like "I don't know his name it just said ???"
Back again!! Love these videos!
I'm sure this Nintendo approved guide will be crystal clear on what Papasea needs to do! 😂
Lets just hammer away! 😁
I know this video is fairly old now, but a guide brand I want to suggest for this game was published by Versus Books. I've owned this guide for years now, and find it's one of the most informative guides I own for any game.
I have such fond memories of playing this game with my best friend at the time. We spent hours building teams together!
I love “don’t train in vain” 😂
Wow, I never realized that the layout of Whitney's gym is the shape of a Clefairy!
Also I named my rival ??? too.
Would love to see a part 2! Great part 1 video
I'd definitely love to see the second part to this!
12:06 “even though we were a little bit underleveled” *proceeds to send out a lvl 28 vs Chuck’s lvl 27* 😂
I had this guide. this is why I subbed to you. thanks for finally doing it! I actually used it to beat Pokemon Gold, funnily enough.
I caught The cobra Kai reference too lol
Strike hard
Strike fast
Show no mercy
😂😂😂
Thanks for finally doing my favorite pokemon game! I remember playing this so much as a kid it's a wonder I didn't break the cart!!
I had that guide when I was a kid. Nostalgia
The Prima guide is far superior. This guide is heresy!!!
3:15 Because this guide is actually for all three gen 2 games, not _just_ Crystal (despite the cover).
brings back memories of the Metroid Prime/Fusion double guide and the Pokemon Gold/Silver guide with the foil cover
After playing this game I don't know how many times, I decided to spruce my playthrough by creating custom parties that all share my characters ID, which includes all 3 starter Pokemon, an Umbreon, a Pikachu and a Larvitar, to name one specific team. I also decided to collect all 251 and have them save on Pokemon Stadium Two and I have my own instruction manual when beginning new games.
I BEGGED my father to get me this book when I was a kid. I never got it, he was not found of my nerdyness.
I remember before Heartgold and Soulsilver, I had a Firered and Leafgreen guidebook with some of the old Ken Sugimori artwork on the gen 2 Pokémon.
Hammering away the like button before the video even starts. Crystal was my first Pokemon Game!
This was my 2nd Pokémon game after silver - love it to bits!!
Papasea? More like PapaBless cuz fuck yeah more Nintendo approved walkthroughs
Oh man, back when I played Crystal for the 1st time in 2001 I also named my rival ???. You've gotten a nostalgic giggle out of me!
I was a big gamer already when I got Crystal when I was 9, and I'd already played Red. It made me feel so seen when it asked "Are you a boy or a girl?" Kris will always have a special place in my heart for that.
That's the guide book I have for Crystal. Such a classic!
You should also make a part 3 for the battle tower since it does have guide for it. I still have this guide and also love reading it. There was defiantly a charm to those older guides
I still have that exact guide on my shelf next to the Pokemon Crystal Perfect guide from Versus Books.
I'd love to see a Part 2, gen 2 is by far my favorite and Crystal's art style is still great today. I might have asked in another video, but would you ever be interested in running Crystal Clear? It's an open-world hack with a ton of new features, without changing too much of gen 2's core mechanics.
Gen 2 games were perfect.
im obsessed with these, i binged all of this series, im so glad u could provide me more to overdose on
That is legit what i always named the rival as i really wanted to help the cops catch that guy...
That persona background music 😍
Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought you had to name the rival ??? during my first playthrough as a kid
I convinced myself that if I didn't name him ??? then the cops would never catch him and I'd lose the game lol it took me FOREVER to realize how dumb I was haha
I live for these videos, even if there aren't many left
8:37 I was amazed as a kid when I found out that the gym layout is a clefairy.
Pokemon Crystal, my first Pokemon Game i ever played, mine you I never owned a console, or pc or a phone until some time ago, I played Pokemon on my Mom's facebook account on her laptop through that free games things they had a while back, you couldn't save, so any progress you made was to be wiped out instantly when facebook was closed, I unkowningly learned the art of speedrunning Crystal from beginning to red in under 5 hours, I never could beat red though, my teams were always to bad for that, and even now, the only Pokemon game I have ever played
Really glad you chose chikorita for this. Thank you
Dang, so nostalgic, the gen 2 graphics.
Just what I needed this morning.
Oh wow, that guide brings back some great memories
I never owned one, but a friend of mine back in grade school did, but I never got to see the whole thing or browse it, so thanks!
Hmmmm incapacitate Pokemon huh? Thats new hehe!
I had an old Pokemon yellow guide. I could spend a good time going through that book.
"Every Trainer in Goldenrod City Gym is female, which is interesting, but doesn't change anything. Trainers are Trainers."
I wasn't expecting a strategy guide to have an unironically good message about gender equality, but here we are.
HI there @PaPaSea, looking forward to the vid, always enjoy the Nintended vids.
Oddly enough, Nidorina has always been sterile, Nidoqueen can breed, so theoretically it could breed with a Nidorino. Apparently, it's in some Pokémon book somewhere that Nidorina just can't breed. Cool right?
I can’t believe the Pokémon Crystal strategy guide has a reference to the Clash on the back
I named my rival the same thing my first time lol I was confused but that’s what they showed his name to be
It's worth pointing out that the odd egg has a 25% chance of being shiny
Yup 14% and 50% in the Japanese ones.
Assertion: The pharmacy in Cianwood has been around for 500 years, yet pokemon RESEARCHERS just found out about pokemon eggs.
Hypothesis: Pokemon is ruled by a class of plutocrats who know nothing of the world and are pokemon researchers in the same way that a victorian englishman was an egyptologist.
Very nice run. I thought you would have got Jolteon because you had Magby as your fire type… better yet, i was hoping you would have got Jolteon because you had Magby, but this was still fun to watch! 😅 Great job
I remember just how magical gen2 felt when it released as a 10yr old. My mom has ordered me an analogue pocket for Christmas, so I’ll be hunting for a mint copy of crystal with a fresh battery install for when my system gets delivered.
Edit: Yes I’m 33 years old, and my mom still shops for me for Christmas. Life should always be lived as closely to childhood as possible ❤
Men... Just love that aesthetic of gen 1 and 2. Bring that back!!!
I don't know why, but in the German version of cristal, the tradeable Onix is called "AARON". Since the "Substitute Teacher" sketch by Keegan-Michael Key, it's even funnier. Every time I catch an Onix these days I call it "A-A-RON".
I had that guide! I used it so much the spine wore out and my grandma had it replaced with a plastic spiral one :)
