sirsystemerror | Pokemon TPP Red: The Cutesy Girl Part III

First, we’ll start by filling those holes in Mandel’s Pokedex. One of the biggest differences between TPP Red and Red 151 is how you obtain Mew. In the latter, you get it from a rare encounter in the Unknown Dungeon. In this...

You push the truck. Mew is underneath, but it flies and swims off to a place called the Unknown Island.

This dungeon was designed to troll TPP. It’s a bit of an open-ended maze otherwise, but not too bad to traverse.

In addition to Mew itself, Mandel also caught an Alakazam here. Only Mewtwo and Dragonite left, and both are in the Unknown Dungeon, the former at the end as usual (at Level 100 no less! And worse, in this version, it does have moves to fight back with), and the latter one of those 1% Pokemon.

Took an obnoxious amount of time to get the Dragonite, ugh. Mewtwo was a preposterously easy catch, even without using the Master Ball, though. Cleff froze it, and uh, that was it. You never unfreeze in the originals. To add insult to injury, after a few Seismic Tosses from Mimester, a single Great Ball caught it. 151/151!

More notably, Mandel caught her actual final party member in there as well: Slashie the Sandslash! And it’s just around the right level, too! It learned some TM moves, ate some Protein, and we moved out!

Next up were the gym leader rematches. For fun, I did these in roughly the order you would do them in Gold/Silver/Crystal. Vermillion and Surge is the first place you come to there, and he led with a Pikachu.

I employed X-Speed to make sure he was faster than the Electrode, the only conceivable way Surge could’ve stopped its rampage. Three later, and Slashie was faster, and ran through the team with overpowered Earthquakes

Almost the same fate befelled Sabrina’s team. Slashie fell the first time. Even though Spike and Cleff cleaned up from there, I decided to reset so it could get the sweep and stat EXP, though it needed two more X Speed. Took a bit of luck to get by the Hypno, but everything else - but Exeggutor - died to one Earthquake

Cleff, as before, ran through Erika. Also, Exeggutors, haha. They’re pretty scary Pokemon, but the AI ones simply have Barrage, Hypnosis, and Stomp as moves. So not scary. Cleff didn’t get the full sweep, but Mimester easily finished the job.

Mimester got the nod over Slashie for Koga due to the hard-hitting Special-based Venomoth. It eventually fell to Beedrill, but Polly finished things up from there.

Once Lapras was down, beating Misty was easy. Saura got to step out this time. It never used Ice Beam, just tried to annoy Saura with Body Slam and Confuse Ray. A Full Restore got it back in the game after that.

Brock and Blaine played out as repeats of before - Saura ran through the former (better than Polly due to the fossils), and Polly Amnesiaed up and crushed the latter’s team.

Since Giovanni has left the game, instead of him, you fight the infamous PC in his place in his rematch, destroyer of many of TPP’s Pokemon, getting released. Anyway, Slashie handled this one. Pump it up and Earthquake them all down.

We’ll make one final break here, even though this was a short page, just so there aren’t so many images on one page.
