Trivia

Errors

  • On page 8, the guide states that Wurmple's evolution is affected by the time of day. However, Wurmple's evolution is based on its personality value.
    • Interestingly, in the Pokédex that the guide contains, the guide correctly states that Wurmple's evolutions are random on pages 120 and 121.
    • On the same page, the guide states that Pokémon in "Egg Group 0" cannot produce eggs. However, the table contains many Pokémon that are genderless but can breed with Ditto.
  • On page 10, a tip states that breeding two of the same Pokémon will make the resulting Egg hatch faster. This only makes the eggs become available faster, and has no effect on hatching steps.
  • On page 19, the guide states that you can choose between the Water-type Mudkip, the Grass-type Torchic, or the Fire-type Treecko.
  • A note on page 29 states that none of the three starter Pokémon can learn Cut from HM01. However, Treecko can learn Cut via the HM.
  • A tip on page 31 tells the reader to save a Premier Ball that is given to them in Rustboro, stating that this strong Poké Ball would be better off used on a rare Pokémon. The Premier Ball is no different from a normal Poké Ball in usage.
  • On page 35, Brawly's signature type is stated to be Flying and the recommended types are Fighting and Psychic.
    • On the next page, his team overview shows that Meditite is pure Fighting. Meditite has the dual typing of Fighting and Psychic.
  • Wattson's team on page 44 shows a Voltorb that is Electric/Steel-type. Voltorb is a pure Electric Pokémon.
    • This error is mentioned again on the same page. The guide states that Wattson has two Steel-types, yet he only has one: his Magneton.
  • Flannery's team on page 59 shows a pure Fire-type Camerupt. Camerupt also has the Ground-type.
  • Juan's team on page 87 contains a pure-Water Kingdra. Kingdra is part Water and Dragon-type.
  • Glacia's team on page 95 contains a Water and Ice-type Glalie. However, Glalie only has the Ice type. Interestingly, her first Glalie has the correct typing.
  • The strategy for Wallace on page 96 states that all of his Pokémon are weak to Electric-type moves. His Whiscash is immune to Electric, and his Ludicolo takes neutral damage.
  • In the Pokédex starting on page 114, there are multiple errors.
    • Mudkip is stated to be Water and Ground, when in fact it is pure Water.
    • Gyarados is stated to be weak against Grass. It is neutral to the type. No other Water/Flying types have this distinction.
