PokéTuber Reacts to Beating Pokémon as Nintendo Intended 

I can't stop hearing, "Playing Pokémon how it was 'Nintended'."

RIP Eric Heaven just got a lot better at hammering away at their enemies

I love how, after finding out about the author, he went from saying "the guide says that" to "Eric says that" RIP Eric

Damn… Eric probably had a lot of fun sneaking funny phrases into the guide. He really blessed us with this

Next time i'm playing a Kanto game, i'll be sure to "Hammer away" at every opponent and "lay waste" to them, for Eric.

“All of the fights are optional, except for the ones that aren’t” *THANK YOU MR. HELPFUL*

The fact that papasea still uses the phrase “hammer away” in his videos is a true testament to Erik. R.I.P. king, gone but never forgotten

Every "Hammer Away" 7:43 "Hammer away at your foe with basic attacks, and he goes down quickly." 9:32 "...so hammer them with your most potent offensive attack." 21:25 "Start hammering away." 23:34 "C: Hammer Away" 27:42 "...but hang in there and hammer away at its hide." 31:52 "Hammer away till he runs away." R.I.P. Eric.

The author being dead was the biggest emotional twist I've experienced in years

Pokemon guidebook vocabulary: Hammer away Lay waste Dispatch Two shakes of a lambs tail

I love how Dan the Catterpie made it to the Hall of Fame. He looks like he's going "I did it! I saved da world!" Also RIP Eric, the myth the legend.

Eric watched the anime where Pikachu bodies everything in front of it, that’s why electric is so OP in his guide 🤣

Salute to that caterpie who made it to the hall of fame Freaking legend

“Remember, kids, all things in life are possible, except for the things that aren’t possible.”

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.

19:30 you can get Ice Beam from that girl, but only in the original Gen 1 games, not in the remakes. Super weird mistake to make there.

“Exeggcute is, well, a sad joke” had me crying

The pain on Micheal’s face when he realized the author was dead

I used to have a massive platinum guide book that I cherished. I didn't have a ds so I would just imagine I was playing platinum with the book and I loved it

Healing before every fight in the E4. I was that guy that didn't spend a cent through the entire game(with the exception of balls and the occasional escape rope), then once I made it to the pokemon league I'd blow it all on revives and full restores

Pokémon guide books are my favorite childhood relic, I treat them like ancient pieces of history that need to be preserved

Wow, it's a miracle! A Poketuber today reacting to something that isn't Jaiden's Platinum Nuzlocke!

I know that Eric's passing isn't funny in any way, but Mikey's reaction to the obituary had me wheezing

"i looked them up and the first thing that came up was an obituary" i literally gasped when i heard that, such a tonal shift UNPROVOKED and i really wish the best to eric and his family, may he rest in peace

Guidebook: all of the fights are optional, except for the ones that are not. Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes

Shout out to the man, the myth, the legend Eric for guiding us through the game *salutes* I hope he’s resting in peace hammering away in the afterlife

My first game was HGSS, and I didn't know how to use the PC, because I wasn't "someone." I also got stuck before the last gym because I didn't know to use strength on the boulders. Returning to beat the game was like growing up.

I remember fighting the Elite Four numerous times in Platinum (my first Pokémon game) as a kid and just BARELY getting through it without healing once and I was super excited... 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

If there aren’t ‘“Hammer Away” -Eric’ t-shirts in the merch store by tomorrow, then we’ve failed as an internet.

some guy: "poison types can't really do anything to poison types" nidoking: "earthquake go brrrr!"

Magikarp is actually a good investment if you don’t start with Squirtle as you can’t get a decent water type to far later and don’t want to spend time later evolving Magikarp

maybe "laying down the law" on erika is a reference to gym leaders being a part of team rocket. It mentions it specifically directly after you defeat the evil team leader, Giovanni.

Nintendo states in Pokemon: The First Movie that Nidoqueen is a water type Pokemon, so maybe the person who made the guide saw that.

Rest in peace, Eric. May you hammer away at the gates of heaven forevermore.

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.

Can’t wait to be in heaven with Eric and “hammer away” at our conversations about his guidebooks Seriously, it is so tragic that he died, I wish any condolences to his family.

Can we have a moment of silence for Eric. He gave us many laughs and did not deserve this horrible fate...

“The first thing that popped up was...... an obituary” WTF

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.

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.

"What silly guy wrote this? He's dead." I chuckled at this. I guess I still got some dark humor in me.

Regarding Silph Co: there is a grunt blocking the door until you clear out the rocket hideout in Celadon

25:15 Yeah there’s a grunt in the way of silph cp if you haven’t beaten the rocket hideot yet. When you get to him after that he is sleeping on guard duty so you can pass

@32:55 the single biggest twist in the history of my RU-vid stream watches…

I like how by the time PaPaSea reaches the Elite Four, Mikey doesn’t even flinch when he says “Hammer away”.

R.I.P. Eric. I was presented to you 2 shakes of a lamb's tail ago, and yet, it felt like we hammered away for an entire journey

19:37 I know this is a year old but I’m 99% sure you get Ice Beam, Rock Slide and… Double Edge? I think? From the vendor machine girl in the original Red and Blue games

Interesting fact about the little girl who gives you "Ice Beam." Well in gen 1 she actually does give you the tm for ice beam it changed in the gen 3 remakes as you can see.

"I was a guidebook FIEND" -Michael 2020

"Dude this guide is so bad! I wonder who Eric is!" "Eric is dead." "..oh"

As a kid, I never thought to heal between the battles, I just kept battling the elite 4 over and over, dying over and over, but beating enough to level up little by little. I had to have battled them at least 50 times before I actually beat them.

2:24 Man, I feel this so hard. I remember playing the original Kingdom Hearts as a kid. I got up to the third Riku boss fight where you had to face him alone in Hollow Bastion. For the life of me, I could not beat him. Threw myself at that asshole for a solid hour with no luck. Didn't touch the game for over a year after that.

Video: he sadly died Mandjtv: i am never going to mentally recover from this

Nintendo: *And I took that personally*

I remember having a x/y guidebook, it did not tell me there was mewtwo so after exploring that cave I was shocked!

33:24 Don't worry, it's what I call "shock humor", where something typically not funny (i.e. someone's death) could be made funny by announcing in such a way that it creates humor via "shock", hence the name.

The guidebook creator: f***ing dies Michael: HAH HAH HAH GOHOHOD

RIP Eric, the most extra strategy writer I’ve ever heard of.

23:53 it says "meet their makers."

38:35 : The word you're looking for is Garadeese.

Im gently suprised that you keep asking everyone for their permission to react on their vids. I didnt hear from anyone else asking for any permissions. This should be way more appreciated then it probably is

“Nintendo’s Charizard” Seems accurate

The Ice Beam incident is easy to explain, actually: One of the TMs the girl gives you in generation 1 is the TM for Ice Beam, so that's where the confusion comes in.

The "hammer away," bit is permanent on his chanel, btw! He uses it in every video in this series. I love it!

“Plays how guide book tells him” Uhhh isn’t there a guide book that says to use the Master Ball on a Tentacool?

I've seen all of these comments related to Jaiden's Platinum Nuzlocke -no, he probably will not react to it. Michael said more than once that he “doesn't like reacting to more than one video of the same person, because he feels like their content becomes his.” And to be honest, I have no problem with that. RU-vid is already flooded with enough Jaiden reactions right now.

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?

I remember as a kid playing leaf green on Christmas and getting stuck at so many places. The cave that you needed flash I died in like 10 times got lost at lavender town cause they didn’t let me upstairs, not knowing where the team rocket hideout was so I went in every house in every town hoping one person would say hey I’m team rocket you found our hideout man I miss these good times

7:00 I think the disconnect is because a large number of poison types are dual grass/bug/flying types which are weak to fire or rock in some way

Rest In Peace, Eric. Thank you for bringing us this amazing guidebook. May you be the very best like no one ever was.

27:20 Electric probably refers to a magnemite, whitch has Steel type moves that are super effective on ground&rock types

Exeggcute: *living his happy life* Eric: 😈

“What silly guy wrote this?” “He’s dead💀”

"Lay waste to your intrepid band." I think Eric might have been wishing he was writing a D&D guide instead of a Pokemon one. God rest your soul, Eric.

29:39 the text after throwing his pokeball 😄

If I'm not mistaken, you can bypass Koga and Sylph Co., and go straight to Sabrina. I accidentally did just that on a Leafgreen Rom once

I have this exact guidebook and in one of the pages where it lists out the pokemon in that route, it says gyrados through super rod fishing, but the picture if of a weedle lol

Pokéfans: "React to Jaiden's nuzlocke video" Michael: "No, I don't think I will" Grunty boi: "Have you considered this PaPaSea man"

"darkness.." that caught me off guard and made me laugh for so long

Not sure if anyone else realizes, but the reason that the guide says to bring Fire and Rock types to Koga is because his Venomoth is weak to those due to it's secondary Bug typing. Pretty sure they just made a mistake and said it was super effective against the ENTIRE type, rather than just Venomoth.

"All of the fights are optional except the ones that are not." It is clear that Shirou Emiya wrote this guide.

Are we going to meet him?! *dies* Honestly the way Mike said "He's dead." reminded me of that video with all the Kongs.

In the original Gen1 games you had a relatively limited amount of money you could get... so I can see why a Red/Blue guide would say not to buy the Magikarp

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

everyone: hates on eric *looks it up* he was ignored at a young age and no one loved him also he died at the age of 43

This was a freaking emotional rollercoaster and I didn't expected that

The girl in Celadon has always had Ice Beam, Rock Slide and something else. The status moves were buyable in the department store.

Been Following Papasea for awhile, glad to see him appear on your channel, I hope it helps his channel 🙏❤

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

Pikachu. That’s why they said electric>ground.

19:54 I just couldn't stop laughing ...

23:53 Nobody gonna acknowledge that the guide told him to “fight it out till they meet their makers”? My Arceus, why is the guide going so hard?

Type F for paying respect to Eric. RIP DUDE, U WERE A MASTER OF WORDS

RIP to the homie Eric. We’re gonna keep laying down the law for you 😭

My brother would check out that Mario DS guidebook all the time despite not having the game and I remember making a shortest route or something once

Great reaction video. Rest In Peace Eric. Your videos are always informative and/or entertaining. They also have great editing. I’ll be subscribing in two shakes of a lambs tail.

26:17 Honestly i cannot forgive him for having the chance to call Exeggcute "A sad yolk" and not taking it.

Silph co is blocked by a random grunt until you finish events at pokemon Tower

Silph Co is blocked until after clearing out the Pokemon Tower. Saffron Gym is blocked until you beat Silph. But you can still beat Sabrina before Erika. Erika and Sabrina can be beat at any point between Surge and Giovanni. Also, the girl at the top of the department store gives Ice Beam in gen 1.

As a kid, I never lost a battle, but not because I reset. I had way too much free time and patience and grinded every time. Charmander to Charizard before I ever fought Brock in my Red version. Had a Pidgeot in Yellow that I had to level 70 by Surge and swept him easily... I could never do that nowadays. That would be brutal
