[Pokémon] The strategy guides from the early days were really good, weren’t they?

Kill Time Communication Pocket Books Pocket Books Pocket Monsters A Book to Master POCKET MONSTERS

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

It’s the purple version.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

Nidoking when it was sharp-looking was really cool…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

But this guy is 1.4m tall.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

This illustration is so cool that it’s troubling.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

This book was really pocket-sized, wasn’t it?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Type: Poison is holding me back too much…

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Since KILL TIME COMMUNICATION is releasing it, it must be an erotic game, Pokémon.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this the suspicion that they are using data that was leveled up to 100 due to a bug?

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>8

I was particularly aware that I was doing it without any shame.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if it’s still around if I check my parents’ house.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Information has always been about speed, but that doesn’t mean compromising on quality is acceptable.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s not like it’s doing anything bad in itself.

However, when you consider effort values, the numbers can’t really be trusted, right?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is this a Bivouac?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

Dekalbia

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

Dead Noah

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

Soural

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

That is a book of Soran.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

A Pokémon selection worthy of a book that masters the original Pokémon.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

“The ‘Pokémon: A Little Good Story’ is just an individual’s grumbling and is unpleasant.”

The dowsing machine can be used!

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

Will Wataru be able to defeat Kanna?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you know the location, it might disappear due to a bug related to the flag.

On the side of certainty, using a dowsing machine might be more reliable for a roundabout way.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Transel Shumichi…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, the APE book had the species values listed.

You might realize that there are no base points if you calculate it.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>19

Every Pokémon is about two tiers weaker in stats compared to one that has legitimately defeated Pokémon to reach level 100.

Even without any knowledge, a sense of discomfort emerges.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I level up to 100 with Baku, that’s fine, but there are also sentences that feel empty, like when I included Trancel and went around the Elite Four.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like it had a sticker on it.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

A book for collecting 150 Mewtwos in pink.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s not this book, but there was a strategy guide for Gold and Silver that claimed “The 251st Pokémon data published for the first time!” and I was coolly thinking, “Isn’t that just something they released through modification?”

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

Mew and Celebi are ultimately just data that was included from the beginning, and they can be obtained through things like PAR…

It seems that since the Advance era, Deoxys and Mew have a mechanic where they won’t listen unless you catch them in a proper place.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wondered if it would be advisable to turn off the battle animations in the strategy guide.

Well, once I got used to it, both I and those around me were cutting it off… so that’s the story.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the look in your eyes, like a murderer.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Official guidebooks don’t come out for a few months after release, so it felt like the time before that was a battle, especially with strange guidebooks.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Especially in the early days of Pokémon,

I wonder if there was ever a book released from those places that usually put out official strategy guides…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

That was definitely released by APE, right? I really like that cover; it’s cool.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

There are some that are half-filled instead of being at zero.

It is reported that they self-declare a playtime of 200 to 250 hours.

To be blunt, there’s no need to pursue it further; it’s a no-brainer.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>31

The strategy guides at that time mostly said that.

In this series, this book and the one with Charizard on the cover are also mentioned.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Level 100 was quite difficult to achieve back then, to the point that it felt like a type of dedication.

Why make it even harder to raise with gold and silver…?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a strategy guide, but I loved the four-panel comic book featuring all 151 Pokémon from the original series.

A compact size divided into three volumes: red, green, and blue.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I liked the ones where the editor created a party with their own concept.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

I love how absurd the self-destruct party’s “If you have 6 grenades, you can’t lose” is.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was said that Beedrill is weak to a sad extent, in Beedrill’s column.

I really can’t say much about this because it’s truly like that.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>41

At the time when the three-color punch was hardly utilized, to say the least.

What does it mean that even now, when the physical specialties have clearly separated, it’s still ridiculously weak?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

There were quite a few strategy guides that didn’t include all the Pokémon that show up.

I thought it would be nice if they included legendary or mythical Pokémon, but I really wanted them to list regular Pokémon properly.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember reading something about not having any friends who would battle against a party with six Mewtwos.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

A slightly skewed writing style that isn’t found in official strategy guides captivates the hearts of kids.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I like to be blunt and say that I’m weak against unfortunate types and slow speeds, just like bugs.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The funds obtained from here later led to the creation of Unreal Comics.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, it can be said that Beedrill didn’t have any decent moves at all…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a strategy guide for leveling all 151 Pokémon to level 100.

It’s not a bug; it’s something that was properly raised steadily.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>31

There should have been a character in the game that said something similar.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

It should have been asked in the quiz at Katsura’s place.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Some characters say that when you leave them at the daycare, they seem weak.

There is no mention of candy.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Somehow, Onix has an excessively high rating.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Go for it! Even if you’re told!

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because of the high defense…
