    Where do you go to get this? Sorry

    If one wants this cheevo make sure that 1 you haven't caught the LEGENDARY birds yet. You can find the binoculers on Route 12 & 18 , i have caught the birds and checked afterwards but no cheevo pop-up so i guess this one is [m]

    Thank you, "Meikitameno" for the misinformation... You made me go through the entire game thinking those binoculars existed there...Just for no one else to fall for that crap, there are binoculars on Route 15, which will show Articuno EVEN if you captured all the birds.Therefore, it's a non-missable. I'm so sorry about tagging something that is actually non-missable, I seriously didn't know :(

    changed back to not [m], also added alts for Route 12 and 18 since i only checked Route 15 before
    Blazekickn 8 Sep 2021 14:15
    (although i'm pretty sure even though 12 and 18 have binoculars the articuno dialogue only shows up on 15)

    It wasn't meant as mis-information , first of all the cheevo doesn't say ARTICUNO only but UFO which made me think it wasn't just possible with Articuno but also Moltress & Zepdos , 2nd of all in my Blue Playthrough @ YouTube , i checked all Routes including Route 15 which didn't pop-up the cheevo either , which made me conclude that i 'missed' it and that it was a 'missable' achievement! 3rd: If you checked my profile , you would've noticed that i hadn't collected it yet , the comment says: I GUESS it's missable , not that it is :) Currently doing RED for the remaining achievements , so i will check again , but it didn't trigger for me inside my Blue playthroughI'm sorry if it came across as a blockade for it was not meant to be so. Since it didn't trigger for me + i got all the VIDS on my YouTube channel it was JUST to indicate that it could've been a missable.I got the vids on YouTube if you wanna check :) it will show you that i went to all routes with binoculars including Route 15 :)Next time first check someone's profile whether they did or didn't collect the said cheevo , before accusing them of mis-information :) Especially when he or she has it backed-up in Content recorded :)

    Just collected the cheevo and i can say for certanty that it works when you didn't caught the birds yet , during my Blue playthrough it didn't pop , after i collected the birds. Maybe i was unlucky , maybe i did something wrong [doubt it] but @ blue i didn't get the Articuno Pop-up @ Route 15 that's for certain [find-able @ YT] Red playthrough comes ASAP to my channel :)

    Tower on Rt12 DOES NOT have this. At least as of prior to completing Pokemon Tower.

    Unless something triggers after, that one doesn't count.

    I'm playing Pokémon blue and I can confirm that after catching all three birds, the achievement popped looking at the left binoculars on route 15, so it's not missable!
    casla2014 1 May 2024 05:56
    This detail is awesome. Thanks for the cheevo, i didnt know it existed!

    It's easy, just check the binoculars right to Fuchsia city. Earned in Pokemon Red.
    BareBear 21 Nov 2024 05:21
    Earned in Pokémon Blue after already catching all 3 birds
