  • Throughout all the Pokemon games, healing your Pokemon is a major mechanic, as it allows you to continue to use your team through your entire playthrough. But what if that element was removed from the game? Today we're going to find out how easily you can beat Pokemon Red/Blue without ever healing. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

      Chaoskiller IRAQ Ah, that’s really interesting! I didn’t know that DS2 actually gave you an item for never using bonfires. I don’t know how practical that ring would be, but I’m sure people appreciate getting an actual in-game item for accomplishing such a challenge.
