go to the flower shop, then go north and water the 'tree'

>>10749587
Damn buddy.. sucks to be you. I dont think its confuaing, in fact, its too direct, the routes should be longer.

>>10749628
That's what I was wondering about, someone was saying something about a flower shop then ran away, but I didn't see what they said because I pressed A by accident, thank you anon.

But while we're talking about Johto, why is the level curving actually bad? I thought that was just some competitivefags bitching but even on a casual playthrough it feels like every pokemon you fight is underleveled. I love Johto but damn.

>>10749678
You're grinding to the point the game gets easier. Grind less = harder game

>>10749683
I just wasn't running away from any encounters, I didn't really sit around and grind. By the time I got to Whitney my fire starter was level 26 and I don't get the hype with her

>>10749686
You seem experienced, is that accurate?

>>10749747
Yeah gen 4 was my first gen (zoomer I know)

>>10749751
I dunno what else to tell you, it'll get harder later but you're well prepared for that, so. Don't worry about getting lost.

english isn't my first language, so I looked up a walkthrough

low IQ players like op are why the series maps eventually degenerated into stuff like pic related, nowadays they're just pure uninteresting open world slop

>>10749628
desu I remember missing the flower shop on a replay.
It's not hard to miss when you're just going through the game and not checking every building and talking to everyone.

>>10749847
This.
I liked exploring around, even if it meant using 8 HMs and most places being dead ends with a consumable or TM for a reward.
Gen 3 (R/S/E);was the peak with that wrecked ship, the secret bases, the shoal cave, the Braille puzzles and diving through trenches.

>>10749587
I know this place like the back of my hand

>>10749587
Holy shit please be bait
nobody can be this retarded

>>10749617
fpbp, OP is a fag and doesn't know what play is

>>10749587
It's literally a straight line, how can you get lost? It looks curvy but certain areas are gated off by Sudowoodos or not having the right HM that you are corralled into going the correct way. Holy shit literally how do you get lost?

At most you can choose to go to Route 42 or 38 first but ultimately it makes no difference.

>>10749587
>Why is Johto so fucking confusing to get around? How did you guys not get lost as a kid?
Because the game forces you to go in a straight line thanks to obstacles in the way.

>>10749587
Fuck off Tourist.

Gen 3 was the most soulful and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.

>>10751801
The poke roster was awful tho

>>10751823
It was the last gen where catching them all was actually fun though. At least, it is fun to imagine, with all the various games to trade from. I never actually did it.

>>10749587
Zoomers and their reliance on Google Maps eh

>>10749587
its called you buy the strategy guide

>>10751902
I got it for free for re-subscribing to Nintendo Power. It was a great guide too, had all the move charts, etc.

>>10751801
It's nice but 2 has it beat on day/night transition.

>>10749587
i got lost in gen3 once...

I was 4 or 5 when I first played silver and while I never had this problem there sure are a lot of areas which aren't mandatory but I spent a lot of time on thinking they must have been more important than they actually were (Mortar, Ruins of Alph, Dark Cave).
In Red/Yellow at a similar age I remember doing some stupid shit like spending a ton of time trying to navigate rock tunnel because I didn't know about flash.

>>10749847
There is a decent amount of optional content around the various routes but yeah that shape is just shit.

Get good

>>10749686
Most regular trainers in GSC are under leveled cannon fodder & the game really enjoys shoving mandatory fights against them down your throat. E4, Gym Leaders, & Red are the only fights that can be difficult.

>>10749587
how fucking retarded do you have to be

>>10749587
I finished the game when I was 5 and could barely read.
