    Oddly enough a couple of the errors in this guide relate back to prior versions of Kanto.
    1) In Red, Blue and Yellow you get Ice Beam from the girl atop the tower, as the guide says.
    2) In Yellow version Rock and Fire Type does help against Koga because his entire team is part Bug Type.

Ended up getting platinum later and never lost that card. I was so dumb when I used to play diamond ahahaha rookie moves. Got soul silver too but its all a blur in my childhood. Soul silver became the game I'd reset the most because it had the most plot of complete and the most pokemon diversity plus walking with ur pokemon was so cool back then 😎

And then my heart sank when I found out I still had to fight the champion. And I'm pretty sure I knew that I *could* heal between battles, but it just never occurred to me to do so for some reason, so I inevitably lost and had to start all over again. And again. And again. And AGAIN!! Eventually I did start healing between battles and was able to finally do it within one more small handful of attempts, but it was ridiculous

    I had bought a copy of FireRed when it was brand new, birthday money and everything, and on the box it said that it came with a copy of the wireless adapter so you could trade pokemon with your friends. So, my surprise when I opened up the box and found only the game... was immeasurable and quickly built to frustration before giving way to apathy since, at the time, I had no friends I could trade with anyway. It still upsets me to this day and makes me rather glad that the newer consoles come with that kind of thing built into the game/console rather than needing a separate adapter.

    They don't let you into Silph Co. until you've gotten the Poké Flute. I used to think you actually had to set foot in Fuchsia City but apparently you just need the Poké Flute.
    Also, the TMs from the girl were Ice Beam, Rock Slide, and Tri Attack in RBY, which is probably where the guide's confusion comes from.

    I can confirm that here in Spain, the "official Nintendo Acción guide" for Pokemon Red and Blue did sugest to catch a digglet before facing Lt. Surge, recommended for an easy battle against Brock using grass or water moves and to check the north route prior to facing Misty if you didn't have enough level.
    It also recommended to get the Body Slam tm in the SS Anne and teach it to a powerful attacking pokemon, and mentioning Raichu as a good candidate, or to save it for Snorlax, as another good candidate for the tm..
    IIRC, it missed telling the players to catch a nidoran if your starter was Charmander, so you could use Double Kick against Brock, though. And they didn't know what Focus Energy did, or was suposed to do, because they didn't mention it was bugged, and all they said was that it could take down a pokemon instantly (a bit like a OHKO move) if used constantly. Of course, it never worked like that, as it was suposed to raise the crit rate and it didn't even do that, so eventually my friends and I just ignored that bit of information from the guide.
    edit: Also, as an spaniard, I'm contractually enforced to groan at that Gyaratres joke. Just saying.

    I often look things up online if I get stuck, but I do still like strategy guides too! I got the Collector's Edition ones for Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield, which are nice, hardcover books that also come with extra goodies (the Sun & Moon one came with a file of extra concept art, while the Sword & Shield one came with a hefty bookmark and some skins for your Switch and Joy-cons which I haven't actually used yet). Even the paperback ones are cool though. I found my old Gold & Silver one not long ago, and was very happy as I'd just started playing Gold on Virtual Console.
    Strategy guides are good for other games too. I still have my one for Tales of Symphonia for GameCube (helpful for all the many sidequests) and had one for Rune Factory on DS (you very much need one for that game to know what are the best crops to plant each season and when to upgrade your tools...it also had a guide on how to woo each of the girls your character could potentially marry, which is useful since some are harder than others).
    In other words, they may not be selling as well, but they're still helpful!
    EDIT: 34:35 Him naming the Onix "Rocky" is funny cause there's actually an Onix nicknamed that in the Gen 2 games that you can get in Violet City if you trade this guy a Bellsprout. Wonder if that's why he did that or if it's just a coincidence?

    Michael you’re one of the only Poketubers that ask the content creator if it’s ok to react to it. I respect the hell out of it, awesome video!

      I feel like he's the only one who seems to ask. Everyone else just does it without a moments notice as 'content'
      Ask beforehand because otherwise it just feels like your using their content to make views

    In RBY, the girl gives you Rock Slide, Tri Attack & Ice Beam, and no Stats Move at all.

    I think why it said to use fire and rock types against poison types is because half of the poison type Pokemon in Kanto are also weak to fire and/or rock types like the Beedrill line and the Bulbasaur line for example

    It talks about fire and rock types being effective against poison types because they are strong against bug and grass types, which usually have the poison typing

    I did something like this for Heartgold, but I was a kid in their midteens who knew better than to trust some of the more...questionable advice (aka I just ignored the guidebook when I thought I knew better. I didn't always, in fact, know better, and made some mistakes in what moves I chose to forget, etc, when I couldn't be bothered to grab the second book of the strategy guide).
    I still have the second HGSS walkthrough, but the first one was lost to a dog's stomach in my senior year of high school.
