I managed to beat Brok after ours of trying and a lot of frustration.
I had to catch two Bulbasaurs and teach Giga drain to one of them thanks to the guys in the house next to the gin
They will teach a move to a Pokémon in exchange for a big mushroom. You can find it in a bush in the area before the town. The woods were you can find all the bugs.
I can’t beat Misty, I tried everything I can think of but all the Pokémon I catch have low stats and I onestly thing that’s impossible.
If someone has beat the game please help.
🙂
uh oh. look who’s in the thumbnail 😬
are there any cheats
I’m currently playing this and I am finding it impossible to beat Brock so far. I’ve restarted the game 4 times using different teams and strategies.
I am persisting, but it’s quite a challenge. I’ve probably spent 15-20 hours of gameplay just trying to remake teams.
If anyone is reading reviews to guage difficulty, this hack IS extremely difficult to the point of maybe being functionally impossible for the average gamer. I don’t know how to level Pokemon by taking advantage of EV very well, so this may factor into my poor gameplay.
I’m still trying though
