@KiddZeal, There are a lot of good tips in the comment sections for the various achievements. I would just focus on the missable achievements (the ones with [m] in the title) and then go back for the other ones later. I am not aware of any FAQs for this set in particular unfortunately.
KiddZeal 31 Jul 2022 22:02
@WkGames Thank you for the tips buddy, when i will play this game i will take a special look at all the missable ones and the rarest ones too.
Aurareus 1 Aug 2022 12:04
@KiddZeal As mentioned the only achievements that aren't completely straight-forward have helpful comments to assist you.
The only thing I would mention is that the achievement "Shuckie Approves" is missable but isn't actually marked as missable, so watch out for that.
Kryle 25 Aug 2022 04:52
Re-mastered! Thanks for so many new achievements, there were so many things about this game I didn't know about before the new cheevos were added.
VOID29 28 Aug 2022 00:55
I've already beat the game and then created an account here. Am I not allowed to get the achievement after doing such achievement?
Ultros 4 Sep 2022 00:34
@Void29 no, achievements are granted when you meet the unlock condition in real-time. Otherwise everyone would just use 100% save files for every game and get free achievements.
Rarronak 18 Sep 2022 20:56
done (again), i've spent about 5 hours searching for an item in johto ('ve skipped paralyze heal in the goldenrod underground), and on my way to beserk gene I found a shiny goldeen, third shiny in the game counting with the other two in the first playthrough, painful set
angelfmf 18 Oct 2022 00:30
Mastered finally... I gotta say that lucky egg cheevo was excruciating . Other than that, it was interesting to find the items you can get from your pokegear contacts didnt know most of them and buena's phone number
GoblinBoy 10 Nov 2022 14:58
This was a banger of a set! I thought I knew prettty much everything about this game but a few on the achievements really surprised me. The Chansey and Bug contest with Venonat ones I could have done without BUT not the worst with turbo on. Took me 29 hours overal so not bad at all!
reypacino 28 Nov 2022 11:03
For god's sake. Can someone PLEASE link versions from other languages? For someone who didn't grow up with Engilsh PKMN names, these games are almost impossible to play. Please! Or else I will get myself a developer status here and do it myself, but I assume that takes some time ..
GugsWebster 9 Dec 2022 06:29
Mastered!
Rasor14 31 Dec 2022 18:44
Hello very good, you can make the Spanish room work the achievements. Since I could never study much English and playing it in English would be very difficult for me. Thanks from my heart
Roob 11 Jan 2023 17:28
So for those Johto only pokemon gym badges, pidgy wouldn't be allowed, right?
RedGames12 25 Jan 2023 14:32
Mastered!
telepathos 28 Jan 2023 18:18
I traded a sudowoodo from another save, and I think it's preventing me from getting the achievement for catching the one on this save, I've tried several times and nothing happens when I catch it. I've had no problem getting any other missable achievement until this one
telepathos 29 Jan 2023 04:12
After doing it on a fresh save it worked, I assume it's tied to the pokedex entry being added and the same would happen to the other similar catching achievements, so here's a heads up to others who might experience the same
Ultros 29 Jan 2023 05:22
Yeah using trading in any Pokemon set has always caused issues for me. Whether it's anti cheating or unintentional coding quirks, you should avoid doing it in these sets.
telepathos 30 Jan 2023 01:11
My first time playing it using retroachievements so I didn't know, thanks for letting me know it's the same for the others, I wasn't even using those pokemon or cheating, Im looking to fill the pokedex in crystal
RossWyatt 4 Feb 2023 02:04
I don't know what items are missable or not in Johto...
goldanthro 2 Mar 2023 11:11
I speak english but I agree that other languages should be linked. There all the same game after all with no significant code differences.
