That is the scummiest thing I have heard of lol. Especially in a time when the internet was starting to have better community guides, they wanted you to double pay for guides?
yeah heracross has a decent typing and learnset, its base stats are great too, its only really offset by its rarity and the fact that the single best mon for clearing gen 2 games is typhlosion which is a starter (except in the case of speedrunning)
Currently doing a nuzlocke in HG with pokemon available in the routes that are open up until you beat the first gym. Got Heracross after getting headbutt. Beast.
I like to think Ethan/Lyra send that mail cause they're so enthusiastic about Pokemon that the idea of you going on your journey makes them so excited. Like texting your friend in the middle of the night cause you caught a shiny
My personal headcanon is that Professor Elm let slip to Ethan/Lyra that they were going to give you a pokemon. He/she didn't want to tell you outright and ruin the surprise, but they just couldn't contain their excitement and sent you that little teaser email.
In regards to the Mahogany Town being a Ninja retreat thing, I think it's mentioned by one of the Rocket Grunts in the Mahogany hideout. He explains that it was originally a ninja retreat and that's why there's hidden traps there.
Fun fact that'll most definitely ruin this joke like an overcooked steak: checking the Town Map and scrolling over to Mahogany Town reveals that it "used to be a hiding place for ninjas".
Back when I played the original games; though I started with Crystal, personally; I never could get that you were supposed to name the rival whatever you wanted, and so I always would call him "???" since that was what he always introduced himself as and I took him literally. I wonder if anyone else ever made that silly mistake?
I totally did 😂 Silver was my first Pokemon game and I was about 8 yrs old so I didn't quite understand that you could name him whatever you wanted. I even got really angry when I reached the Elite Four and he still wouldn't tell me his damn name 😆
My 1st pk game was yellow. I was around 7 or 8 and didnt understand stats and effects. My pk would get poisoned and the screen I thought would glitch and started dozens of new games thinking my game was broke until I rode it one day and realized it was my pks health depleting with each step lmao. I often think back to them noonish days and it makes me laugh because those were tbe best times learning about pks games and card. Totally awesome times.
I remember when I was a kid one of the rockets even in the older games TELLS you about a way to turn off the security. Then it just happens to be on the same floor guarded by a scientist that goes uhhhhhh please don't press the switch under the desk.
I never actually realized how Roost’s grounding mechanic worked. It doesn’t just remove the immunity to ground-type moves. It removes the flying-type from the Pokémon altogether.
@@bigmike8152 O.m.g. O.o how did I seriously never know that?!? 😅😅 I swear, all these secret mechanics is what makes Pokémon and discovering everything there is to know about your favorite ones, the best thing of it all.
@@bigmike8152no dude....just no. Roosting is when a bird sleeps or rests on a pole or branch. So you heal cuz it's resting and it's no longer flying cuz it landed. Did you just make all that up?
I can't believe they didnt add any of the quotes from fire red leafgreen handbook. "Hammer Away" "2 Shakes of a lambs tails" "lay down the law" "lay waste" GOD DANG
I've been to Japan before. Ecruteak really, REALLY captures the feeling of Kyoto. HGSS are my favorite games in the series, so getting to see places and landmarks that the games took inspiration from was a really cool experience.
What I always do with Kenja: Take away the mail, attach that to any throwaway pokemon I'd never use and give that one away. That bird is just too good to pass.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 Oh I definitely agree. Same with swapping out members of their teams instead of just leaving them in to die. Sadly, that would require work from Nintendo.
@@joaogomes9405 But you can trade for a Machop at the Department Store! All she requires is a Drowzee, which you can catch right outside of town. Huge lifesaver if your team doesn't have the chops yet.
The reason Kanto wasn't in the guide is actually because there are two parts to the guide. The second part has Kanto as well as the full national dex with all the info of every Pokemon in the game. I had both guides as a kid. Wish I would have kept them now. I sold them a few years ago...
I think the "back to the beginning" part was in reference to Kanto being playable, and it mentions "this is your ticket there" so it only shows how to get there
Heartgold/Soulsilver is my favorite Pokemon game of all time. Probably because it has the most content. I own the guide as well. The Kanto part is in the second book (the Pokedex)
On one Crystal Playthrough, I used Kenya on my team, and just have the letter to some random Magikarp I got. That guy was probably too sleepy to notice a difference anyway...
In the Rocket Hideout in Mahogony, one of the grunts who runs up for the Persian Alarm Things mentions that the base was an old ninja retreat that they have repurposed.
@@maganhassan2627 I think he’s saying that like the game moves too quickly to high level trainers but there’s not enough of them to help your own team reach those levels. As a result, you have to grind yourself and due to the lack of high level Pokémon on routes the game needs to be grinded a lot to get on par w tougher trainers.
31:02 Note to papasea: Rock slide can't normally hit you in the air, but Machamp has No Guard, meaning that all moves by and against machamp skip accuracy check, including the semi invulnerable turn of fly
@@exequielbreton4393 actually, I gotta disagree, sure some of the story wasn’t the best, but you gotta admit that AZ’s story was awesome, really wish they fleshed it out
Little tip for people that don't want to spend hours looking for heracross : headbutt the tree right behind kurt's house on the left. Been doing it for 10 years now and it has never failed me
Depends on which broken mechanics the battle used. If Rival Fival had to fight in a battle where things worked like they were suppose to he'd get crushed.
"Happy I spent so much time headbutting trees to catch one [heracross]" - Big same. My heracross carried me through most of Johto, could probably have carried me through the E4 solo if I leveled it up a bit more. Love that bug.
I remember getting HG as a birthday gift about a month after the release. Unfortunately, 10 year old me didn’t know crap about Pokémon and despite having the guide, I got stuck in Goldenrod after I couldn’t get past what I later found out was a Pokémon I needed to spray with water. And by “later” I mean five years later when I found the game again. (Completely irrelevant to me as a child with 1/16 of a brain cell but on the recommended route page in the bottom right, Jasmine’s name was printed as “Jsamine” with that being the only typo in the book I noticed) Edit: Thanks for the heart :)
I remember playing these games when I was really young, the walkthrough was something I picked up at my school’s scholastic fair or something - I remember flipping through this books with a giddy smile on my face as it was actually helpful for some things. So many memories.
8:12 - I have never heard anyone call them HM Mules. I've always heard them referred to as HM Slaves. A great video and particularly interesting to see this guide encourage you to capture specific Pokémon more. I really appreciated you going out of you way to catch a type effective Pokémon for Whitney and it's nice that Pancake the Heracross got plenty of use after that.
I remember naming the rival “???”. And also Violet City is so nostalgic for me because i didnt know you could save the game back then. I spent many days after school in Sprout Tower, Dark Cave and The Ruins. This being on the original Gold Version.
I'm actually very happy you named Hericross "Pancake" it just reminds me of the channel "Just a pancake" considering his memes are as hard hitting as a Hericross
(still watching, im sure more will stand out to me once im done) im genuinely impressed with the almost seamless way you went from talking about pokemon to telling us about ur sponsor :) so smooth! edit: oohh i always prefer to have my money saved behind the scenes. mostly in the gen 2 games, those early items are SUPER helpful (and the room decor is fun too) edit2: i always pronounced it "eye-lex" forest but thats based off literally nothing but my child brain when crystal came out, i wouldnt be surprised if i had been saying it wrong my whole life too lol
Seeing you use brick break on Whitney’s clefairy confused me because I forgot fairy didn’t exist yet. That’s my main problem going back through the older games. Forgetting the fairy type Pokémon are just normal types
Heracross and Jynx were both absolutely amazing in my last HeartGold run. I got Heracross outside of Mt. Mortar though instead of Azalea though since after 3 hours I never encountered one there.
in azalea, you have to headbutt the lower level trees since heracross is level 2-5. if a spearow or aiprom level 6-8 pops up.. you'll know have the wrong tree.
"I don't remember him spamming Roost like that" That's all he ever does to me whenver I replay the games and it hurts more than him actually attacking.
Ever since I played gold/silver as a kid, Heracross has been my favorite Pokemon. And yeah, he's a champ in gen 2 and gen 6, no one picked up on it then because bug types were garbage in gen 1.
I just want to correct one thing. There is a ninja reference in Mahogany town. The secret shop which is basically the entrance to the Johto Rocket HQ has a hidden staircase found and revealed by Lance. Real life Ninjas during their time actually uses a hidden trap door underneath the tatami or the thin wooden floor of their houses as a means of hiding weapons or connected to an underground tunnel as a means of fast escape. What do we see under the secret shop? Its not a tunnel but it is similar to the concept of a hidden path underneath. The game only used a stair sprite to help the player indicate that you could access it. Furthermore, remember the trap floor where you encounter a bunch of Koffings? Ninjas are well adept on using explosions, smokes and poisons as a means of distraction to help them escape. Koga uses Weezing because not only Weezing is a poison type, it also produces smoke which Ninjas love to use to escape. I kept saying escape I know. Ninja's main objective during their time was merely to spy and to gather info. They are never meant to fight or to kill. They only fight and kill as a last resort since if they fought and/or killed someone, it would leave a huge mark of their precense within the enemy territory. Something a ninja always avoids in a mission. (I learned all of this from Gaijin Goomba.)
It comes with a poster woth all 493 pokemon, a guide for the battle frontier, and a detailed national pokedex with Learnsets, locations and even egg moves

Damn and I thought I was cool for getting to level 8. I always end up with a 50/50 scenario between the last 4 cards, 2 are multipliers and 2 are voltorbs, and just have to hope I guess right.
@@jordanlindsey4299 sometimes it's a coin flip like that, but that's a rather rare circumstance. If that happened to you at lvl 8, you just had a run of bad luck. I will say though that getting to lvl 31 and losing made it so much more bitter than sweet.
The first time I played Crystal as a kid I named the rival ??? since that’s what it’s displayed as in the initial battle with him before he’s named. Nowadays I name him that whenever I play the remakes as a tradition, even though he’s referred to as “Passerby Boy” now.
I'm thinking the reason why the guide thinks Mahogany is a ninja town is because Team Rocket's base under the souvenir shop was once a ninja hideout. Only reason I remember this is because I am replaying SoulSilver (just a randomized playthrough for fun) and I got through Rocket Hideout a week ago, one of the grunts stated that their hideout was an abandoned ninja hideout which explains the pokemon trap field.

The video we have all been waiting for!
1:02 jesus that was a really smooth transition to the sponsor loool
Time for my not important random comment: If you want a good nickname for Drifloon/Difblim, try naming in “Goosebump”.
I just want to correct one thing.
There is a ninja reference in Mahogany town. The secret shop which is basically the entrance to the Johto Rocket HQ has a hidden staircase found and revealed by Lance. Real life Ninjas during their time actually uses a hidden trap door underneath the tatami or the thin wooden floor of their houses as a means of hiding weapons or connected to an underground tunnel as a means of fast escape.
What do we see under the secret shop? Its not a tunnel but it is similar to the concept of a hidden path underneath. The game only used a stair sprite to help the player indicate that you could access it.
Furthermore, remember the trap floor where you encounter a bunch of Koffings? Ninjas are well adept on using explosions, smokes and poisons as a means of distraction to help them escape. Koga uses Weezing because not only Weezing is a poison type, it also produces smoke which Ninjas love to use to escape.
I kept saying escape I know. Ninja's main objective during their time was merely to spy and to gather info. They are never meant to fight or to kill. They only fight and kill as a last resort since if they fought and/or killed someone, it would leave a huge mark of their precense within the enemy territory. Something a ninja always avoids in a mission. (I learned all of this from Gaijin Goomba.)
Can't wait for Beating Life the way this world intended
Fun Fact: There's a second, sequel book that does over the events of Kanto. I actually have it.
It comes with a poster woth all 493 pokemon, a guide for the battle frontier, and a detailed national pokedex with Learnsets, locations and even egg moves
Oooh, that's cool.
@@bippythechippy882 that's one I have
I remember in Gold the text says you saw “???’s” name. So thats what 7 year old me named my rival. Good ole ???
So good to know I was not the only one!
29:08 my dad did this when he first played this game, he was devastated
Fun fact: in the Pokémon Adventures manga, Morty has two Misdreavus
There is a 2nd guide which has the kanto part in it :)
Gen 1 and Gen 2 will always be my favorites
Oh my, I forgot I have that guide, haha.
The hype was real when I snatched the game. I replayed it last year and might do it again.
The HGSS guide is actually in two different parts! I only have the book that goes with the Kanto Region :’ )
I only have the book that was used in the video

I've watched so many of these videos by you right now I finally decided to hammer away at that subscribe button. Great videos man, having some good laughs in between here. Keep laying down the law and dispatching your enemies. And don't forget to Hammer Away.
This is the first of these you've done that I have the guide for as well. I really loved this one as a kid, especially the pokedex in the back of the book
I remember the highest consecutive level I ever got in voltorb flip was 31. It takes actual mathematical reasoning.
Damn and I thought I was cool for getting to level 8. I always end up with a 50/50 scenario between the last 4 cards, 2 are multipliers and 2 are voltorbs, and just have to hope I guess right.
@@jordanlindsey4299 sometimes it's a coin flip like that, but that's a rather rare circumstance. If that happened to you at lvl 8, you just had a run of bad luck. I will say though that getting to lvl 31 and losing made it so much more bitter than sweet.
I could've sworn there were only 7 or 8 levels. I played the heck outta that game and I never remember it getting into the double digits
I've never gotten over 8 or 10. My brain sucks.
There is no level higher than 8.
The rock slide could hit the hooh in the air because of Machamp's ability: No Guard. It could hit you even if you use dig
I wasn't this early even to my own birth.
The first time I played Crystal as a kid I named the rival ??? since that’s what it’s displayed as in the initial battle with him before he’s named. Nowadays I name him that whenever I play the remakes as a tradition, even though he’s referred to as “Passerby Boy” now.
Everyone is demanding unova remakes while hgss haven't been remakes for like 12 yrs
What if Gen 2 was remade, but it was a Let's go game?
But hgss WERE the remakes? Unless you’re wanting like a Let’s Go style switch game?
facts been saying this gen 2 is next in line for remakes unova stans need to stfu
@@32rush79 no need to be so worked up about this.
Just asks our fellow Gen 4 fans
@@32rush79 unova came out 11 years ago
5:10 That is the single best sentence I've seen in any guide ever.
when i first played gold and silver, i explored the herb shop and touched EVERYTHING. thats how i found out how to turn off the statue
I'm thinking the reason why the guide thinks Mahogany is a ninja town is because Team Rocket's base under the souvenir shop was once a ninja hideout. Only reason I remember this is because I am replaying SoulSilver (just a randomized playthrough for fun) and I got through Rocket Hideout a week ago, one of the grunts stated that their hideout was an abandoned ninja hideout which explains the pokemon trap field.
I see a new video, I instantly hammer away the like button and comment. Thanks for all you do, PaPaSea!
You say you don’t remember pidgeotto spamming roost that much?
Boy, you missed a lot of trauma! 🤣
Your Totodile reminded me to subscribe. even though I thought I was already
Who noticed the Cyndaquil on the friendship picture and immediately panicked at Cyndaquil in the bushes
HeartGold & SoulSilver are simply the best (along with Platinum)! Gen 4 supremacy 💅🏻
Best gen imo
@@yumekojabami1326 Gen 4 will forever be the best!!
@@domenicavallone28 you’re right!
I’m surprised the guide never mentioned the trade in the goldenrod department store for the machop for Whitney.
"I picked totodile for no real reason"
Me: "Failure! FAILIURE! YOU FAILED ME! I DISOWN YOU!"
Picking Totodile over my actual son. The nerve...
Purplecliffe def lovessss ditto!
