this only filters little kids who can barely read and have zero problem solving skills, but still made it to this point of the game by brute force because it just is that easy
This has nothing to do with reading skills. It's about trying to maneuver through these little cracks at ultra high bike speed while using the miniscule GBA d-pad
Well yeah, there are more obscure things like that in the games. That's the kind of shit kids would talk about at school and figure out through word of mouth though. Or just go on youtube dot com.
The puzzles are often the most fun part of the games.
If you don't like them you're probably just dumb.
The game literally came with a Braille guide in the back of the book.
Not only that, since "Up" is only two characters whenever you got a two character Braille clue you automatically knew where to go.
I preordered emerald, leafgreen and bought sapphire all from ebgames brand new.
My friend got his from target.
None of them had it.
The had everything else though.
It depends on what region/store you bought yours.
This isn't that new.

Wait, how do you distinguish commas and periods from the letters A and D respectively? Sure, they're placed lower in the 6-slot matrix, but how does it work in practice for an actual blind person? They have to feel them simultaneous to an adjacent letter and be able to tell that they're about two milimetres lower than the letter versions?

While giving the finger to greedy publishers is based and commendable, it's also a little soulless.
I just buy them second hand.
also to second this, at the time GBA cases were made of cardboard
and many, MANY parents had the view that cardboard=disposable thing meant to be thrown away since the style of that type of packaging also was also shared by a frickton of toys at the time.
like very few parents actually bothered to keep cardboard packaging for things in that time period especially for cartridge games where it wasn't like CD's and you could store then in mass in a single plastic tub and not have a single one damaged/become unplayable

It's how I remembered it. Born in 95, my mother bought a pc because her boss claimed it was important for her work and ended up using it twice. That was around when I was 11 or 12 so 2007. Still I was one of the lucky kids that had a PC at home, mind you it was just a pc, no internet connection. So if I wanted to see something from the internet, like a GBA rom, I would have to go to my older cousin, use my MP3 as a USB stick, and transfer both the emulator and the rom with it, browsing the internet on his pc was out of the question, who would let a 11 year old kid mess around with a machine no one in the family knew how to use properly?

Neopets were for 20+ year old nerds who were "too cool" for pokemon and already had a grasp of how computers and internet worked. 10 year old kids in 2004 would consider themselves lucky if they ever came in contact with a pc and learn anything more than to open ms paint or pinball, let alone browse the internet by themselves.

No, it was who takes longer to catch/is harder to find. And the answer is Chimecho, because he's got a 1% spawn chance in 1 small area, isn't even in-game (no trainers in-game use him, so you can't use the Pokédex to see where it is. Updated in Emerald tho) and you would also need an external guide, or extreme luck, to catch him without prior knowledge.

No one has ever done that in the history of Pokemon.
these are secrets that were intentionally put in the game to be solved by word of mouth.
i mean even today there are some somewhat obscure evolution methods, like Sirfetchd evolution requiring 3 (?) consecutive crits while holding the item or something.
I'm smart as frick but as a kid, when I played Pokémon Gold, I couldn't make sense of those Unown caves. By "Unown" I mean those letter-eyed Pokémawns, can't remember their actual names. So I guess they are hard enough.
Oh man lmao wtf. I thought it looked a little weird. Frick me for assuming the native resolution would've been the default I guess
That looks much better now, thanks
Pokemon so bullshit it was basically a DLC inside other games from another fricking console after you beat it (Pokemon Channel) or special edition (Pokemon Colosseum bonus disc)
Pokemon is the most anti-consumer franchise in the history of video games, but there's no other game like it that isn't complete ass for some reason. It's literally the most profitable franchise in the world too, and somehow, not a single other company or indie team has managed to make a monster catching game that scratches the same itch. Robopon is robots, Jade Cocoon required you to fricking kill the monsters and had several hour long cutscenes, and Digimon isn't even the same genre 90 percent of the time. Indie devs tried with Temtem and one or two others, but the game market is so saturated right now that I don't think people even know those exist.

You can shiny hunt it without paying ebay fricks a lot of money by having a Wii, the cable, and ruby/sapphire. In Nintendont there's a setting that lets you use the cable.
A lot didn't. If your parents' job didn't require a computer, and they personally had no interest in the internet, then you probably didn't have it in the early 2000s. You'd have to go to a friend's house or drive to the library.
We didn't get internet at home until ~2007 because teachers were assigning more and more homework that required researching stuff online.
My uncle gave our family a PC when I was really young, so this is very alien to me. I've been emulating Gameboy games since Gold and Silver were new in Japan.
I didn't know a single family without a PC. everyone needed them simply for typing and printing. I also remember multiple macs in elementary school classrooms. maybe this was not in every country the case, but it's very unlikely that a kid in 2004 needed to be lucky to come in contact with a PC
We had a computer in 2003 but not internet. It was basically a big word processor that could play some games on cd-roms.
Also it was rare to have free time on the school computers. Teachers would b***h at you for doing anything that wasn't school work.
That's actually a really good idea to moron-proof the puzzle. If you can't solve it, go back and get a HM Slave.
Kids found this one really hard at my school. One of my friends, really smart, literally played this puzzle all weekend and couldn't solve it. He ended up walking to my house to ask me to do it for him, multiple times.
this only filters little kids who can barely read and have zero problem solving skills, but still made it to this point of the game by brute force because it just is that easy
This has nothing to do with reading skills. It's about trying to maneuver through these little cracks at ultra high bike speed while using the miniscule GBA d-pad

You're speaking to someone who got filtered by a pokemon game. Take it easy on him, he's not quite all there.
Pokemon puzzles are easily achievable and at most require a little trial and error. Difficulty isn't the aim of the games.
>Pokemon puzzles are easily achievable
Well yeah, there are more obscure things like that in the games. That's the kind of shit kids would talk about at school and figure out through word of mouth though. Or just go on youtube dot com.
youtube didn't even exist yet
but me and my friend figured these out just fine without help and it was fun
The puzzles are often the most fun part of the games.
If you don't like them you're probably just dumb.
The game literally came with a Braille guide in the back of the book.
Not only that, since "Up" is only two characters whenever you got a two character Braille clue you automatically knew where to go.
Loads of copies didnt.
I didn't get one for sapphire and emerald.
My friend didn't get one for ruby either he got one for firered though.
>Loads of copies didnt.
Second hand copies, sure. All new copies came with the manual.
I preordered emerald, leafgreen and bought sapphire all from ebgames brand new.
My friend got his from target.
None of them had it.
The had everything else though.
It depends on what region/store you bought yours.
This isn't that new.
>Brand new
It wasn't, or it would have had the booklet.
What do you want me to do go back in time to show you me buying them and taking off the plastic sleeve?
This happened to other people too even 20 years ago people online complained about not getting the braile sheet
I want you to post some sort of proof that this happened historically, yes.
She can't, it never happened. Unless you bought the game used.
They already posted proof, it wasn't in the American copies of the game. They had to call the hotline that nowhere else on earth had.
See
No way man.
I know, it's shocking right? I can't believe they wouldn't include it.
did the japanese have the braille alphabet in the booklet?
Yes it did.
Throwing away your CD/DVD cases is not normal. Why would throwing away your game boxes be normal?
>Why would throwing away your game boxes be normal?
Because you have the game and you aren't going to collect boxes like some Diogenes mentally ill? the fact that these boxes now are valuable its because that was exactly the mentality of that time
I never threw away my boxes. Where would I keep my games if they didn't have their boxes?
Inside the console or in any big bag/box where you put the other games
I keep them on my shelves in their boxes. I still have my original boxes from all my old Pokémon games.
Congratulations you were a special kid but wasn't the case for the majority otherwise the price for these games with their boxes wouldn't be that high
Okay. I didn't say that everyone did it, but I knew more kids who kept the boxes than threw them away.
>you aren't going to collect boxes like some Diogenes mentally ill
You know that diogenes was against possessions
I know but you know that there's a thing called Diogenes syndrome?
There's a thing called down syndrome and you're the prime example for it
Butthurt because you didn't know that Diogenes syndrome was a thing? its okey everyday you learn something new
I'm not even him, I just wanted to shit on you for no particular reason
not him but people used to throw away boxes and packaging all the time.
When i was really little i used to cut out the pokemon on the cover and paste in places like my door or wall.
Collectors and preservation was kinda rare. Which is why preserved pokemon stuff is so expensive even if damaged.
>i did it
you arent everybody, it was normal for cd cases and other things to be used people had hundreds of cd cases piled up in the living room elsewise.
>When i was really little i used to cut out the pokemon on the cover
You aren't everyone.
I ripped all my gbc/a boxes apart and threw them in the trash like every other kid I knew since they werent designed like a cd case with those cardboard inserts and the cartridges were durable enough to just house loose in whatever bag you had(or your pockets even) even if you didnt have a carry case
huh i didn't know japs used different braille, i expected they'd spell everything phonetically
>She
>They
have a nice day, both of you. Then go back.
>muh secret boys club no girls allowed
School is back in session. Go to class, kid.
hey man just letting you know I enjoyed seeing you raped into submission over the course of this thread
I posted the image that proved the Americans didn't have the Braille chart.
It wasn't a standalone sheet it was part of the instruction booklet
My US Emerald I got brand new and sealed back then didn't have it.
American copies didn't come with it. They told you to call a hotline.
See
Wait, how do you distinguish commas and periods from the letters A and D respectively? Sure, they're placed lower in the 6-slot matrix, but how does it work in practice for an actual blind person? They have to feel them simultaneous to an adjacent letter and be able to tell that they're about two milimetres lower than the letter versions?
>They have to feel them simultaneous to an adjacent letter
Well yeah, in actual use, commas and periods would always have an adjacent letter.
>draw an L
>call it a V
I swear to god, I got new copies of all of these games as a kid and never got a braille manual. I'm from Australia though, maybe they were in the NA versions bc of NA education though.
I got the European versions of every gen 3 game, they all came with the game.
>a braille manual
It wasn't a separate manual, it was printed in the regular manual. If you had this, you had braille.
NA copies didn't. It just told you to look it up yourself.
Here's a link to the manual.
https://vimm.net/manual/?p=details&id=3132
>They don't tell you how to solve the answer
>Because they want you to phone the Nintendo hotline
Land of the Free lol
Literally says right there it's braille. If you're too stupid to look that up you deserve to be swindled by a 900 number.
why would they do this, exclusively for Americans? I simply can't get reasoning behind it. It can't be that Nintendo thought that Americans are too dumb to solve it, right? What could be the real reason?
Laziness and poor communication
Also
>nintendo
America had a Nintendo Hotline, they wanted to funnel more traffic towards that.
It was literally in the instruction manual
Not in America it wasn't. Read the thread.
It was only in the EU instruction manual.
JP/NA didn't have it.
https://archive.org/details/pokemon-ruby-version-usa-manual/mode/2up

We know, this is all already in the thread.
Japan got an extra piece of paper with the Braille on it, in addition to the booklet.
See
Any normal kid would have opened the box, put the game in the console and then either throw the box to the trash, keep the box in some secure place to no open it again or the mother would throw the box herself after opening it for the kid
>Americans
t. zoomer who's only experienced digital downloads
Not him, but my mom always threw away my boxes/cases.
Throw her away then.
I still have the Fire Red box I bought in the USA even though it would have cluttered up my luggage on the trip back, along with the Nintendogs box, Yugioh 2007 box AND the Nintendo DS lite box. Everything came back.
I just pirate all my console games now.
While giving the finger to greedy publishers is based and commendable, it's also a little soulless.
I just buy them second hand.
Anon zoomers are the ones that would save the boxes because they know now that these have value
also to second this, at the time GBA cases were made of cardboard
and many, MANY parents had the view that cardboard=disposable thing meant to be thrown away since the style of that type of packaging also was also shared by a frickton of toys at the time.
like very few parents actually bothered to keep cardboard packaging for things in that time period especially for cartridge games where it wasn't like CD's and you could store then in mass in a single plastic tub and not have a single one damaged/become unplayable
Also, what fricking kid is going to keep the instruction manual? Pokemon had been around nearly a decade at this point, any kid who bought it already knew how to play
>Also, what fricking kid is going to keep the instruction manual?
A 20 something years old manchildren in the early 2000s would
yeah, like look at this, and tell me that like any normal 7-12 year old child is going to think about preserving/keeping this case.
And that any 30+ normal Boomer Parent at the time who doesn't know a single thing about videogames is going to consider it important to keep something that looks like this? chances are they are just going to see this shit as something meant to be thrown out the moment its opened
My local game store is trying to sell a sealed, but sun damaged copy of sapphire for 5000€
Alright, it's not really 5000, it's 4999.
Might I add that kids these days only play on their phones.
Unrelated pic, but same store.
It's not for kids, it's for fat 32 year olds.
>Also, what fricking kid is going to keep the instruction manual?
Me, I still have all my original instruction manuals. I liked looking at the art.
I threw out the card boxes but kept the manuals because of the art.
Me, I still have my game manuals/boxes from 1991.
I read the instruction manual inside the TCG starter deck all 3 times I bought it
The frick? Are you and your mother moronic?
Not only did we keep every game box that came into this house but my mom would even get agitated if I didn't put the games back into their correct boxes. We are missing the N64 ones, but I assume they went through a flood.
not everyone had or thought about the instructions when playing as a lil kid. my mother always got mad at "trash" so i sure as hell didnt have them lmao. i just assumed it was some unfinished mechanic so i never touched this riddle. you know like that door with the plant in front of it.
>The game literally came with a Braille guide in the back of the book.
I could have sworn there was a Braille guide in the game itself, maybe even in that room
It had the braile alphabet but it didn't specifically say A=this, B=that.
Neither my ruby or emerald instruction book has a braile guide. I think the european versions did, but in the US you needed the strategy guides.
US was the only place that didn't have it.
Even Aussies got it.
Nothing in game unfortunately.
I cant speak for FRLG however, could have been there.
>Nothing in game unfortunately.
This room in Ruby/Sapphire. All the walls have the alphabet written in braille, in alphabetical order.
>the alphabet written in braille, in alphabetical order
but it doesn't say that it's the alphabet. it'll just show you braille
>10 year old kids in 2004 would consider themselves lucky if they ever came in contact with a pc
??? in central Africa maybe
>but it doesn't say that it's the alphabet. it'll just show you braille
In alphabetical order. One letter at a time. At a point in the game where you need to learn to read another sign in the back of the room.
I understood it as a kid.
I didn't have to because I had the manual alphabet
Cool, it's a much better system.
I don't think I ever considered what this room for for, though I have a very distinct impression I checked a few of them and figured out it was the alphabet because I had the benefit of having the guide on hand
uhh still can't feel it?!
?
why is nintendo trying to appeal to the extremely limited blind gamer demographic by putting in a language that requires touch to read?
They're not. They just thought braille was neat.
so it's an inside joke at the expense of the blind who will never see it. real cool nintendo.
>It's a joke
Where's the joke?
raising awareness for struggles of blind people and activism for equal rights for blind people. it's literally written in the trainer guide on the page before the braille alphabet
They were clearly just calling pokemon fans blind. They just happened to be right about it
It's a GBA game, everyone threw away their cardboard boxes
I didn't, and most of my friends didn't either.

Chads like me who obtained their games through theft at school didnt have access to it tho
Bad game design
Luckily the entire alphabet is written out for you in-game too.
Braille is written in the booklet. It wasn't hard to decipher even as a child.
this shit was made to sell 30 dollar guide books to kids and parents too lazy or stupid to help their kids with a vidya puzzle
No it wasn't. The answer literally came with every single copy of the game.
>braille mechanics
>on a game that requires its players to have a functioning vision in order to solve the puzzle
kek based gamefreak
200iq moron here that didn’t read the manual. I grab a paper and guessed each braille was a letter of the alphabet
How would you guess which letter to assign to which braille symbol, genius?
The very first room you enter when going to unlock the regis has the entire alphabet in braille, in order on the walls
300iq genius here
i saw braile and just looked it up on gamefaqs
>put braille in a visual medium inaccessible to blind people
lol
Japanese people hate people with any disability.
even better is that in the remakes, in order to get Regigigas, you needed to get all of the other 3 regis together, but Regice needed to be nicknamed and be holding a cold item
You wouldn't greet Regigigas without offering something cold right?
>nicknaming pokemon
Certified 8 year old moment
Nicknaming Pokemon is the difference between properly raising them and animal abuse.
Says the guy who throw a ball at an animal to enslave it.
Because that's what it does.
SMT is more moral than pokemon.
The names are already cool and picked by the designer. If the name is gay then I just won't catch it, simple as

Not so fast gaijin-kun. The names are localized to shit.
Fricking Nyafu -> Meowth
It's MY sneasel and I'm naming it Mittens frick you.
i solved it by figuring out one word and then guessed the remaining letters
didn't even know braille was a thing as a kid lol
One single exception in a thirty year old franchise with literally hundreds of games in it doesn't disprove the point.
Is there anything close to this past third gen? I've played every mainline game so far and I don't recall anything even remotely similar. Did they just give up on children and assume they're all mentally moronic?
please understand if we made things difficult children would just play their smartphones instead
I hated this. Was their a trick? I just brute forxed it by aventually riding through fast with the bike.
Dunno, thought Sinnoh was shit and never played played another Pokemon gen after that.
maybe if you're some third worlder poor gay pirate who didn't know there was a manual that came with the game that had a braille guide
Not if you were American. They had to call a number.
easy as frick
Zelda chads who had played Oracle of Ages breezed through this
I can hear it in my head
Read the booklet
Americans didn't have this in their booklet. They had to call the Nintendo Hotline
Bugged me the hell out for days and I was in vacation so no way to get a braille translation, but at some point as a hail mary I checked the booklet and there it was. Fricking kino
I figured this out at like 8 years old, come on.
No you didn't.

>run into room full strings of dots
>WOAH WTF HOW WAS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO FIGURE THIS OUT

What do?
Call the Nintendo Hotline, American. Also the direct translation of the Braille is literally in the game for you to write down yourself.
>pay more money to have someone describe dots to you over the phone
Yes, that's exactly how it worked. Land of the Free.
But remember, the literal alphabet/braille translation is in game. You don't need a manual to solve it.
>the literal alphabet/braille translation is in game.
It isn't.
Nice job outing yourself as a zoom who has never played the games

the physical copies with the braille guide were limited you fricking morons
They stopped printing the manuals for the game?
How were you supposed to find out how to get Shedinja?
How were you supposed to find out the existence of Chimecho?
Buy the guide. Or just look it up online.
>look it up online
>implying 10 year old kids knew what internet was in 2004
They did. Neopets was huge then.
Neopets were for 20+ year old nerds who were "too cool" for pokemon and already had a grasp of how computers and internet worked. 10 year old kids in 2004 would consider themselves lucky if they ever came in contact with a pc and learn anything more than to open ms paint or pinball, let alone browse the internet by themselves.
Wrong.
It's how I remembered it. Born in 95, my mother bought a pc because her boss claimed it was important for her work and ended up using it twice. That was around when I was 11 or 12 so 2007. Still I was one of the lucky kids that had a PC at home, mind you it was just a pc, no internet connection. So if I wanted to see something from the internet, like a GBA rom, I would have to go to my older cousin, use my MP3 as a USB stick, and transfer both the emulator and the rom with it, browsing the internet on his pc was out of the question, who would let a 11 year old kid mess around with a machine no one in the family knew how to use properly?
What kind of historical revisionism is this?
>How were you supposed to find out the existence of Chimecho?
I just walked and found it out, Chimecho isn't rare at all, you want a fricker? Feebas and his 6 random tittles with 1%
>Chimecho isn't rare at all
It's a 1% chance to find.
>Feebas and his 6 random tittles with 1%
Feebas is not a 1% in those tiles. He is exceptionally common in those few tiles.
1% is still great compared to Feebas I found Chimecho just walking around mount pyre, hell the jhoto mons that require items and then to be interchanged are even more obnoxious
You can find feebas guaranteed in an hour of hunting. The same isn't true for Chimecho.
Yeah, 20 minutes is enough for chimecho.
>You can find feebas guaranteed in an hour of hunting
No unless you knew about these 6 fricking tittles otherwise you would have spammed the fish rod in the same place until giving up, meanwhile for chimecho you only have to go to a mandatory point for the story and walk around the few titles with grass there
>Fish in 1 tile
>No feebas
>Fish in next time
That's literally all you do. 100% chance to catch it within an hour. There is no reliable way to get Chimecho.
Is Chimecho difficult to get or something or have a low appearance rate? I remember catching it in third gen but don't remember how.
1% spawn chance in one of the smallest patches of grass in the game.
It had like a 1% or 2% in mt pyre, I knew it was there because of the pokedex but it still took me over an hour
Dude's a moron for claiming it is harder to get than feebas though
It is harder to get than Feebas. I can catch a feebas in under 1 hour for certain. And as soon as I find one, I can catch as many more as I want.
1% spawn chance is pure luck and rng.
Its easier only if you know about Feebas otherwise not, Chimecho can be found at the first try if you are lucky if you don't know about the 6 tittles you aren't getting Feebas at all
You can get lucky and find feebas first try too. What's your point?
that low rate its always better than obscure mechanic in a kids game, hell this thread its the first time I heard of somebody complaining about fricking chimecho being hard at all
what rumors did you hear at the time?
for me, someone said there had to be thunderstorm weather and you had to fish near the top of the waterfall
>what rumors did you hear at the time?
That you could travel to the moon with the rocket, and sort of that happened in ORAS with the entire Deoxys event
yeah, that too.
>just wait for the 100th launch bruv
2 years i waited for that shit, i don't think i've ever been more disappointed
>what rumors did you hear at the time?
That Feebas is in random tiles, and you should fish in every tile to find his spot. That was the rumor and it worked.
Just low rate and since zoomers always speedrun consider it insulting
>Fish in 1 tittle
>no feebas
>try in another one
What part of nobody knowing about Feebas mechanic you still don't get? Chimecho its literally walking no obnoxious new mechanic introduced for him just walk like any other pokemon, Feebas meanwhile was more rare than fricking legendaries and the only reason it stopped being its because Internet
>What part of nobody knowing about Feebas mechanic you still don't get?
Everyone knew about it. It was everyone, online, magazines etc.
You think that kids at that time had PCs on their homes? let alone internet? and for the magazines you needed to own the one where they talked about Feebas
>You think that kids at that time had PCs on their homes? let alone internet?
Yes. They did.
>and for the magazines you needed to own the one where they talked about Feebas
Obviously. That's how reading works. What's your point?
>Yes. They did.
No they didn't
>Obviously. That's how reading works. What's your point?
How is owning the Nintendo magazine number 124 and only that one related to reading you fricking stupid moron?
>No they didn't
Literally did. Neopets was huge at the time.
>How is owning a book with information you want to read related to reading you stupid moron?
:/
>How is owning a book with information you want to read related to reading you stupid moron?
I don't know you are baiting or what but after a month or 2 you wouldn't be able to buy that magazine and the only way of knowing that X number was about feebas was if you owned the one before where they showed previews of the topic of the next number
So buy a guide, or go on gamefaqs or something. That's what most kids did.
What was the original argument even? Wasn't it "How were you supposed to know?" And the answer is that you need a guide to have any idea, which makes it moronic and shitty.
>What was the original argument even? Wasn't it "How were you supposed to know?"
No, it was who takes longer to catch/is harder to find. And the answer is Chimecho, because he's got a 1% spawn chance in 1 small area, isn't even in-game (no trainers in-game use him, so you can't use the Pokédex to see where it is. Updated in Emerald tho) and you would also need an external guide, or extreme luck, to catch him without prior knowledge.
I'm not going to say you are wrong because it has been around 20 years since then and I might be misremembering something but I could swear I got Chimecho on Sapphire and I knew it was there looking at the pokedex.
Maybe you fought a friend who used one? Secret base encounters would add a blank page to your Pokédex, I'm not sure about regular link battles.
Otherwise I think you're confused with Emerald, or you looked at a friend's Pokédex or something.
Just grabbed a GBA to check and it was in Sapphire, I did do shared records and secret bases with other people back then so it probably would be that. How strange it isn't in a single trainer battle.
Apparently Chimecho is literally the last Pokémon to be added to gen 3. So they probably didn't have time to add him to any trainer battles.
Like I said, they added a Chimecho Trainer or two in Emerald.
>And the answer is that you need a guide to have any idea, which makes it moronic and shitty.
Thanks, the same goes for the Mirage island
You didn't have internet in 2003? Poor
I think you replied to the wrong person. I said I did have internet and a PC back then
>judging someone for what they're born into
lower than a Black person
>Fish in next time
No one has ever done that in the history of Pokemon.
Forgot about Feebas, but there's a trainer with a Feebas in the game at least, something Chimecho doesn't have.
these are secrets that were intentionally put in the game to be solved by word of mouth.
i mean even today there are some somewhat obscure evolution methods, like Sirfetchd evolution requiring 3 (?) consecutive crits while holding the item or something.
>How were you supposed to find out the existence of Chimecho
what do you mean? I'm pretty sure I encountered a bunch of them on that mountain.
Feebas, now THAT was some bullshit.

Pokemon so bullshit it was basically a DLC inside other games from another fricking console after you beat it (Pokemon Channel) or special edition (Pokemon Colosseum bonus disc)
Pokemon is the most anti-consumer franchise in the history of video games, but there's no other game like it that isn't complete ass for some reason. It's literally the most profitable franchise in the world too, and somehow, not a single other company or indie team has managed to make a monster catching game that scratches the same itch. Robopon is robots, Jade Cocoon required you to fricking kill the monsters and had several hour long cutscenes, and Digimon isn't even the same genre 90 percent of the time. Indie devs tried with Temtem and one or two others, but the game market is so saturated right now that I don't think people even know those exist.

It was. Americans were the only people who didn't get a Braille guide, they had to call a number.

Thread verdict:
Americans are moronic
There are people posting ITT who are too young to remember game manuals. lmao
I got Sapphire day 1 back in 2003. I probably looked at that manual once on the ride home.
It's genuinely hilarious how insular people are to the point the idea of different territories doesn't even factor into their minds.
>copied out the braille before bed
>use the manual to translate it
>next day complete the task and repeat the process
Was very cool
I can't believe zoomers believe that kids didn't have internet access in two thousand and fricking three
It's embarrassing. I've been using gameFAQs since the 90's.
A lot didn't. If your parents' job didn't require a computer, and they personally had no interest in the internet, then you probably didn't have it in the early 2000s. You'd have to go to a friend's house or drive to the library.
We didn't get internet at home until ~2007 because teachers were assigning more and more homework that required researching stuff online.
My uncle gave our family a PC when I was really young, so this is very alien to me. I've been emulating Gameboy games since Gold and Silver were new in Japan.
I didn't know a single family without a PC. everyone needed them simply for typing and printing. I also remember multiple macs in elementary school classrooms. maybe this was not in every country the case, but it's very unlikely that a kid in 2004 needed to be lucky to come in contact with a PC
We had a computer in 2003 but not internet. It was basically a big word processor that could play some games on cd-roms.
Also it was rare to have free time on the school computers. Teachers would b***h at you for doing anything that wasn't school work.
Because they didn't for the majority of the world
Everywhere that speaks English did.
Aka the 80% of the world
Let me guess, you need more?
Were you able to get the item too?
Always. Is this supposed to be hard?
Harder than any puzzles past gen 5 lol.
There were puzzles in gen 5?
More than in gen 6.
Like what? I genuinely can't think of any and I'm playing BW2.
I'm just about to fight the 7th gym and I don't think there's been a puzzle yet.
Solve it without looking it up.
and?
Your first move isn't possible.
This. Your first move always makes you travel north. You can't go any other way.
Then go left then up then you are halfway through the path.
Yeah. After you defeat team rocket there aren't any random encounters so it is just trial and error
>Yeah. After you defeat team rocket there aren't any random encounters so it is just trial and error
do you remember how long it took you?
here's the answer
done
That's actually a really good idea to moron-proof the puzzle. If you can't solve it, go back and get a HM Slave.
Kids found this one really hard at my school. One of my friends, really smart, literally played this puzzle all weekend and couldn't solve it. He ended up walking to my house to ask me to do it for him, multiple times.
>One of my friends, really smart, literally played this puzzle all weekend and couldn't solve it
I have news for your friend
I swear people who found pokemon puzzles and riddles hard, must definitely need a guide to beat an IQ test with the baseline at 80 IQ.
How'd you manage with the braile.
Music inside this cave was soooo good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFqRwPQXYZg
>have to equip bicycle to pass
Wow, so hard.
You have to make turns on the cracked floors with the mach bike.
So did all these american morons just not know what braille was?
Impossible with touch controls on my phone
