Quite the fun set! Thank you!
That being said, I don't want to see Viridian Forest again any time soon. lol
poisongirlss 2 Jan 2023 19:36
How does one start this set? Does RB need to be finished first? Do I need to rename my ROM file?
nuuch 2 Jan 2023 20:48
check the official forum topic for a downloadable patch to apply to your red version
Mophmeister 3 Feb 2023 12:30
Aw, I thought the old badge icon for the set was endearing, but the new one looks sick and I love the updated achievement icons! Very crisp.
enemigodelbien 14 Feb 2023 22:35
Is using the day care and rare candies allow?
WKGames 14 Feb 2023 22:35
Yes, Rare Candies / the Day Care are allowed in all of the Professor Oak sets.
enemigodelbien 16 Feb 2023 02:22
Thanks WKGames
Kingsombra 16 Feb 2023 14:25
Mastered. This is my 100 mastery on this site and it could not have been a more special one. Thank you so much for this set.
TheCom 18 Feb 2023 23:27
Second mastered set! Really fun, but took 100+ in-game hours of just grinding in order to get them all! Pretty rough near the start, but very satisfying to finish off. On to Gen II, I suppose.
Kurochi185 2 Mar 2023 17:23
Small tip for anyone at the start: You can use a glitch to leave Pewter City early and train with stronger Pokémon. Just don't catch any you're not supposed to get yet and return as soon as you're ready.
Kurochi185 12 Mar 2023 19:57
I should definitely add on that you should under absolutely no circumstances use the Cerulean City or Vermillion City Pokémon Centers or you will fail the Challenge since you can't return to Pewter City without HM01.
KawaFernandes 16 Mar 2023 18:28
Mastered!
It's not quite a difficult challenge, just a REALLY time-consuming one.
I took 195 hours in-game to beat it.
Koh1321 16 Mar 2023 18:29
Mastered!
KawaFernandes 17 Mar 2023 14:00
Oops, forgot to say: According RetroArch, I spent 21 hours and 9 minutes in real-time.
Thanks, professor Oak!
(Now I understand why people say he's ACTUALLY EVIL, just as he looks in every professor Oak's challenge boxart in RA)
joshuar9476 18 Mar 2023 21:44
Welp. Apparently I reloaded a quick save after catching Jiggy and never recought it. Made it all the way to Misty and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the achievement. Now I've locked myself out cause I can't get back to Mt. Moon.
KawaFernandes 20 Mar 2023 20:17
Bruh, @joshuar9476. In order to get the gym achievements, you need to have all the available pokémon caught and registered in the pokedex in-game, at the same time (and not missing any of them), and not only have the pokemon cheevos unlocked.
TorchicFumante 29 Mar 2023 09:39
Patience.
joshuar9476 31 Mar 2023 02:06
This was my first time ever playing Red (beat Fire Red before). It took me forever but the game has been Mastered.
Garfunkle420 31 Mar 2023 22:32
Mastered! A fun challenge for the most part, first grind was pretty rough but if you can finish it the rest is a pretty good time
rixor 6 Apr 2023 20:29
Black day for me as I will not be able to master this game thanks to Microsoft and its fucking politic of blocking retail app, so that retroarch was blocked today on xbox one..... just before I can optain the third badge so for people who play retroarch, always on computer where you have the power of everything... and i will not have the patience to play 28 hours just to arrive at the same point so for me, I mastered it.... next game : pokemon blue kaizo
