    This guide's writing is so good. You feel that the person that wrote it not only played the game, but was also passionate about it. My guess about the weird terminology used here and there (like refering to HM as Hidden Skills and whatnot) may come from the fact that the writer played japanese version first, so she might be using the terminology the way she translated it herself from the original release. Still, it is written in such a way that it is all very clear.

    I really liked this one.

    this is my favorite nintended video yet! i have such a soft spot for this guide. as a kid i was so happy that the guide i had was written by a girl who liked pokemon too, since none of my friends did at the time. and i was totally enraptured by all of the little details she added, like oak's regular delivery boy being sick -- it may seem weird now when we look back on it, and something newer guides would never do, but as a little kid getting obsessed with pokemon it helped me flesh out the world of the game as i played it and develop my own narrative. i want to reread my copy now :') thanks for such a great video!

    For the special boost after beating Blaine. I believe every other gym badge gives your Pokemon a permanent stat boost. The fire badge increased the special stat. I know there's others but I don't feel like clicking off the video to look it up

    • @Cerberuswaltz
      @Cerberuswaltz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Yeah, up until Gen IV I think, most badges would raise the stats of your Pokemon a little. It isn't a big mechanic and isn't around anymore, so I can see how most people forgot.

    • @acehealer4212
      @acehealer4212 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      If I’m remembering correctly, the Boulder Badge boosts attack, the Thunder Badge boosts speed, and the Soul Badge you get from beating Koga raises defense.
      Edit: I’m half-right. These are the stat boosts in FireRed and LeafGreen. In the original games, the Thunder Badge boosts defense and the Soul Badge boosts speed.

      @zuthalsoraniz6764 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Brock's badge gives attack, Surge's gives defense, Koga's gives speed, and Blaine's gives special
      And in the gen 1 games, the badge boosts get reapplied every time your pokémon's stats change (except for the stat that just got changed) - so e.g. if you set up six double teams, you get all your badge boosts applied seven times total, boosting all your stats by a factor of 2.28 - but that gets reset once the battle ends or your pokemon levels up.

    I remember the day I got Pokemon Yellow when it was new and my first GameBoy from Target! I really wish I still had it…
    Also, your Nintended series is my favorite of its kind on TH-cam! Always looking forward to new ones!

    Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring and say I enjoy how you showcase the guide. There's a billion lets plays on TH-cam, the guidebook is the special sauce of this series.

    I’m pretty sure this was my favorite Nintended video because of nostalgia. I still love red and blue and the original music was a nice touch

    I love that they made the same guide with two different covers. But then that’s how it’s become the biggest media franchise in the world, I guess. They knew their marketing from the get go.
    Gen 1 has got this weird ‘still figuring things out’ vibe about it that you can still feel playing the games today, it was such an exciting time to follow the franchise.

    I really love older game guides.
    My favorite is for Ocarina of Time, it was written like a story book.

    I remember having this walk through as a kid, from what I remember the spine of the book was pretty crappily put together so it wouldn't surprise me if the seller just took it apart to preserve the pages

    When the guide was talking about earning a badge and followed up with saying "This will increase your pokemon's special skills" I think it might've been talking about how your pokemon received a boost in stats because in gens 1 and 2 and possibly 3 badges would boost your pokemons stats.

    The fact that you take the time to do videos on Old School Game boy games such as Pokemon games, this is pretty cool.🍻

  • @e22ddie46
    @e22ddie46 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Really enjoy this manual. It kinda has the element of someone truly learning how to play and falling in love with the game.
    Also, I really enjoy the fact old school Pokemon had an entire gambling section you could play. The 90s were just a different time lol

    I got my first copy of Pokemon red 23 years ago for my 13th birthday and still love playing that game today. The next game I got was yellow and spent so much time with it because you can get all 3 starters which is something I just love doing with all the games. I didn't get blue until after Gold, Silver, and Crystal all came out because my friends got tired of trading me for the starters 😆. Also I love how you actually used a cartridge and Gameboy for the video, even if it was only for that one shot. love the video dude

  • @spencerdemoss6384
    @spencerdemoss6384 ปีที่แล้ว

    The guide mentioning defeating blane increases there special is referring to the badge boosting special stat. love this series!

  • @RomanEmpireSPQR
    @RomanEmpireSPQR 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As much as I Love these style videos. You’re the reason why the guides are soo expensive now. I bought mine JUST before your first guide video came out and mannnn I was so glad. I’m only missing RB/Y and G/S/C but I have the rest (:

    • @PaPaSea
      @PaPaSea  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The prices have been pretty consistent from when I started making these videos. A lot of the guides now are the same price from when I first purchased them for these videos

  • @thejonbrownshow8470
    @thejonbrownshow8470 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really appreciate the guide book maker's insight into the games they played, as a kid I often skipped over them like for Mario and Luigi superstar saga(you should try that one as nintended lol), but now it feels like we're bonding with a person who didn't intially think much of the series at first (kinda reminds me of me getting into the trails games lol)

    Ah yes! I have the Charizard version of this strategy guide and I bought and read it obsessively before I even had a Gameboy to play Red and Blue, so this entire video is just pure, uncut nostalgia for me.

  • @michaelclark2458

    I believe I had that exact guide as a kid in the 90s. It was very helpful

  • @Nive-wt7xu

    29:30 FYI: In the early games, certain badges actually raise some of your party's stats - for example, your team gets a slight buff for the Special Stat (which is Special Attack AND Special Defense in the first gen) after defeating Pyro.

  • @DragonDreamVNY

    When I was a kid playing through Red for the first time, I honestly thought that Blaine was an alien because the sunnies on the sprite looked like big, sterotypical alien-eyes... And that's *still* all I see whenever I look at that version of Blaine. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • @pkmnmaestro5231
    @pkmnmaestro5231 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I used to do that exact thing with my strategy guides: rip them out by page and put them in page protectors and then into a binder. I had a number of guides like that.

  • @TUCK2SHARP
    @TUCK2SHARP 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the craziest thing about how he said he played it for the first time on a plane flight from michigan to california is that i first played pokémon blue on a flight to see my grandma and i was going from california to michigan. that’s wild

  • @BigLu658
    @BigLu658 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was probably the best one yet! Great way to relive that first time playing the games with minimal knowledge of what’s coming next.

  • @TecTitan

    I completely understand the binder idea. It could have drastically improved the lifespan of those pages if they were to be in my care all those years ago.

  • @mikaelafox6106

    Hello from a new subscriber. I liked the long intro. Not many, if any, would show that kind of attention to reading that guide book. I’ve never heard Articuno pronounced as Arti-kew-no before, lol. Interesting how differently names can be pronounced.

  • @AudioGAWD
    @AudioGAWD 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I miss a guide that small that was still super informative. I had all three games at once and just learned after taking all the Ls, like going against Brock in Pokemon Yellow with only a Pikachu and Ratatta 🙃
    I definitely used a Male Nidoran with double kick for the other two games
