How did they expect kids to figure this out?
>>57174141There are NPCs who hint at its existence.
They didn't expect EVERY kid to figure it out, but there used to be an expectation that the franchise was made up of kids with friends, so word would spread, just like with the original Regis. Now it's half made up of lonely man children pretending to care if a game looks like it's being made for kids. Hence this OP.
>>57174141By expecting kids to have infinite time and desire to explore
>>57174150KEK
>>57174141Figure what out?
>>57174141
>>57174150This, and they used to have a greater respect for the average children's intelligence. They're convinced now that children are too easily distracted by phones/other games, so players are rarely expected to even explore without constant reward

>>57174141I've not played this gen. What exactly were we supposed to figure out?
>>57174141A ton of 2D JRPGs used to hide secrets like this. It was a common trope.
>>57174141Never played Platinum, what does this mean?
>>57174252>>57174276there's an hidden cave under the cycling road where you can find a shiny ivysaur
>>57174252There's two cave entrances, one visible and other hidden under the bridge. The later leads you to the Earthquake TM and Gible.
>>57174141They were hoping they would be able to jew people into buying the OFFICIAL strategy guides but it wasn't 2003 anymore and the internet revolution was almost finished
>>57174141The map hints it I think

>>57174999I don't care about your mental issues. Keep them for yourself.
>>57174141As a kid in 2007, I looked it up on youtube. Or rather I looked up where to find Gible and it led me there. The video was made by a girl and when I checked her channel after there was a guy with a Sonic avatar that commented "Love you marry me" a dozen or so times so it filled up her entire channel comment section. 11 year old me just thought "Damn I was going to ask her that".
>>57174252>>57174173
>>57174150Hey that's me he's talking about.
>>57174141They didn't. They expected you to buy a guidebook to find out there's a secret entrance that houses Gible.
>>57174141By knowing how games work. There was always hidden shit like this back then. God, I hate you zoomers. You're the reason we can't have cool shit anymore!

Going into the visible entrance will show you the location of the hidden entrance if you have any sense of spatial reasoning
>>57174738>>57174891Why do these two have no porn together? I want to see Weavile get split by double shark penises.
The game hints at it, but really you should be checking surfaces that have been concealed to you (and pressing A in case there are items), simply for the fact that they have been concealed. This is a waterfall-tier secret.

Did anyone legitimately catch a Munchlax?
>>57176937Checking 21 trees every so often isn't that hard, so yes, many Munchlax were caught
