I knew that! i used to do it if there was like 1 tiny bit of grass between me and where I wanted to go.

Can you find stuff by doing that? Or is it just to avoid Pokemon?
evergreenyankee
I think in later versions they introduced finding items in cut grass, but not in the version shown here.
AnotherOneBitesTheCrust
Pretty sure it’s just to avoid wild Pokémon

People didn't know about this?

What happens to the Pokemon that were in the grass?!
PhailRaptor
The grass will grow back when you leave the area and return

how you get pokemon "candy"
Coffehistorywhisky
Never knew. What does that accomplish?
Esarty
Removes grass so you don’t get random encounters with Pokemon
smashpro1
Much less efficiently than just using a Repel.
PhailRaptor
Except for not costing any Pokedollars
smashpro1
It's Pokemon. After the first two gyms, you are flush with cash.
CiderMaker
Thank you! :)
YourWaifuIsTrash
Also IIRC it grows back afterwards, so you don't need to worry about somehow destroying encounter areas
JARKB
Now you can't do that.
DeltaNoodles
Yet I still try with every new release. One day, dammit.
JARKB
Me too. Lol
justmythrowawayaccount
I remember doing this as a kid with my last pokemon on 1 hp and not wanting to black out..
Markuspsyches
I remember my last dieing to poison steps away from the center, no antidotes or revives. But could have used a rarecandy on a dead to revive
CaptainWolfrandthe42
Its a shame this has been removed in recent games
hambuhguh
This comment made me remember that as a kid playing Pokemon red I did the same thing!
SconeofFriendship
I just found the family's old Gameboy color. I've been playing pokemon red these past few days. :)

Underrated comment of the day
mormonator12
You still ran a 10% risk of a Pokemon appearing
Corin
Not in Red/Blue/Yellow. 0% chance. Maybe in the later games.
mormonator12
I feel like I got something in RBY but yeah the 10% was GS
supercalifrajelisticexpealidocious
never happened when i did this, tbh. i’m either really lucky or really lucky.
mormonator12
I was once lied to about that being the easiest way to catch a shiny. I did get a Scyther with it though during the park competition.
PancakeMapleBaconEh
I wish i knew that! Running doesnt always work.
Holociraptor
Back then we didn't have running.
mc6riff
I think running attracts more Pokemon, but I could be wrong
chaoko99
It doesn't. What it does do, however, is speed the frequency of the rolls done for an encounter. It -seems- higher, but only because 1/2
chaoko99
you're encountering the exact same amount of pokemon, only faster.
cazaron
Think he means running away from the Pokemon while in battle. Fight Bag Pkmn >Run
PancakeMapleBaconEh
Yes

Well it only worked in certain early generations. Kids growing up on the newer gens wouldn't know.

Oh damn. I didn't realized they did that on that show... That's mean to ask the T-Rexes out there who go through that on a daily basis.

RailRabbit
Doesn't it tell you this in the game somewhere? I thought I saw it. Maybe it was in a guide
rauche
I don't remember seeing it mentioned at all in the games. It being in a guide sounds like the best bet.
lpatwood50
The games only tell you cut can be used on the trees, never mentions the grass bit.

This was my first thought too... figured everybody knew
Nize426
I guess I mostly played alone so I never figured this out. Wow. All those years. I'm pretty shocked. Dumbfounded. Almost appalled.
TablesBobbyTables
NOBODY KNEW! NOBODY!
Atlas008
Okayyyy, ya know... ok... I've been playing Pokemon since I got red version when it came out in 4th grade and I never knew this
SamBrowning
it's never shown in the game, I knew this but forgot. fuck knows when or how I learned though
scribblesocks
There are lots of games I played as a kid where I play them now and have no idea how I figured stuff out.
kaboosh5353
Same here, I still dont see any point in cutting the tall grass tho
Amythyst
In Gen III you could do it to turn really tall grass into normal tall grass so you could bike through it.
AFatRaccoon
Once you've caught& catalogued everything in an area, cutting the grass means you won't be hassled by randoms when you come back through
TheMovieGalaxyQuest
Just don't accidentally leave the area and make it all reset...
ElSephiroth
Not fighting random pokemon when yours are dead or low hp.
pancreas
have you never heard of a potion? pokemon is not a difficult game. try playing Final Fantasy, no long grass, just fights everywhere.
PhilTheKhajiit
Sure the Pokemon story isn't the most difficult, but catching every mon and competitive are very difficult. Also, every FF has potions.
ElSephiroth
I was giving you an explanation. If you don t want one, don t write this kind of statement. Btw, i have finished FF7 to 9 plus some others.

Also if you cut tall grass it becomes short grass.
GrateEDitir
I literally said the same thing
ciiral
An infinite amount of Pokémon were in that grass D:
tpgreyknight
oh the pokémanity D-:
dustbowldano
I was super confused. The Gif didn't Gif and I had no idea what I was supposed to be seeing.
whatiswrongwithyouppl
I have put an embarrassing amount of time into these games since 1997ish... still diddnt know this
TheWaywardorLagos
I concur my good Sir. What? I've played since Launch...I fucking preordered Yellow. My life is a lie.
eagleclaw009
Fucking 17 years of my life have gone by since I first played Pokémon’s gold and never know this
johnnypickles
did people not know this?
BTass
No, but to be fair I mainly only played red and blue and this wasn't possible then.
Aximilli
Yes it was. I only played Blue and Yellow, and you could definitely do this in both.
tehassassino
Excuse me i have to test this.

WhatIsAHontasWhyShouldIPokeIt
report back. your country needs you.
Nanoxt
WHAT HAPPENED?! TELL US
BrokeMyFunnyBone
How is this not common knowledge?! This was literally the first thing I tried when I first got cut.
tpgreyknight
Well excuse us Mr Einstein
BroDudeGuyMandawg
We obviously didn't go to Harvard like you!
Ghostshenanigans
You were first able to do this in pokemon crystal, not sure how many of the games after you could do it in
0I230
All of them
axionzetaone
Not Gen4 and beyond.
0I230
Sounds like they removed the cool, niche features rofl.
axionzetaone
Kind of. They changed a lot of the way the overworld stuff worked, some for the better and some losing some of the old charm.
SirMunchMunch
In the newest game, they completely removed HMs and it's amazing
johnnypickles
Wrong, you could do it from the beginning. In fact it tells you you can do it too.
tpgreyknight
wait WHAT ×2 COMBO
Roshiro
Pokemon Crystal was my FIRST POKEMON GAME! I never knew you could do this!!!!
Votekick
I did this in red/blue
Xenodia
It worked in Red and Blue already!
donavannj
You could do it in every Gen 1 thru 3 game and I remember doing it in all of them. Not sure how I figured it out the first time, though.
smaug777000
Oh, so none of the games I played then
FapsAlot
Ever been wrong before. Cuz that's what that feels like
Ialwaysanswerwiththis
I could do this in Red version
EVERYTHINGFUCKINGZEUS
But it didn't stop the random encounters. *shudder*
tpgreyknight
oh :<
smaug777000
really? damn
Corin
HAHAHAHA. You could *always* do this. Starting from Red and Green.
Nize426
No fucking way. I'm legitimately shocked. I've never felt so... Deceived....
axionzetaone
It stopped in... Gen4 I think.
Corin
That is coincidentally when my childhood stopped.
axionzetaone
Gen3 for me, grew up on 1 and 2; I pretty much completely skipped 3, and came back to the series just before Gen5 came out.
Gingrish
It's also possible in gen 3 games. Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Firered and Leafgreen.
ravesilly
HHHHWUT
X23LauraKinney
Fuck off WHAT
SuperiorPosterior
My first Pokemon game was Firered, and it wasn't until my third playthrough that I ACCIDENTALLY found this
Karlkingofduckss
BULLSHIT
tehassassino
Are you kidding me ?
yummmmm
all i remember was red blue and yellow
smaug777000
didn't work on that one, carry on
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Same!
Estherian
Pretty sure it worked in Gold and Silver as well.
TenaciousMe
Yup, I remember it working in those as they were the last ones I played.
Noob3rts
Thank you, I thought I was going insane.
RamenAndBooze
it did in gold and silver.
Dardaro
I just try on leaf green, and it works.
djevo
Worked as early as red.
skelcal
I vague remember being able to do it with my copy of red. I would go check it out but the battery is nearly dead and I'm worried if (1)
Corin
Just booted up Yellow in a ROM to make sure. You can definitely do it. I remember doing it in Red too.
skelcal
I boot it up my pokemon team will be gone and with no way to get them back. So I don't boot it up, that way they are always safe in (2)
skelcal
My mind and I can't prove that they are not just happily skipping about waiting for me to play again, as opposed to being wiped from (3)
Hellstorm99
Ok, so red, blue, and yellow was a no for original Gameboy, right? Would have helped...
axionzetaone
You can do it in RBY yes.
KirbsClickVillain
It should work for those
oblivire
It won't let you cut the normal grass in recent games, but sometimes you can cut grass that's taller thsn that.
Irreal
Probably because they abandoned the traditional grid based grass fields
Estherian
Yeah, it seemed really inconsistent.
HolyShitpicklesItsTuesday
For one who never played pokemon games, which of them is the best to play nowadays?
AManIsNoOne
Pokemon Red is waaaay better than Pokemon Blue.
JustLetMeChangeMyUsername
I'd say Black/White. Beautiful game and amazing pacing. Best in the series imo.
TryForce
Heart gold & Soul silver, your first/top Pokemons sprite follows you. Plus it's a great revitalization of og gen 2.
ConfuMeister
Emerald for starters.
HolyShitpicklesItsTuesday
Holy shit didn't expect so much suggestions! Thanks yall i'll check all them out!
Ifreakinglovepenguins
Play platinum. Reaaally easy ... the champion isnt even a pain in the ass to beat... that garchomp still scares me
mashdempotatoes
The best ones are probably Platinum and Sun and Moon, but you'll want a new 3ds for sm. Black and white are also good in story.
brossentia
All of them.
robotzombies
Pokemon Puce is my favorite
IAmTheMasterCommanderWhatThePoop
X and Y for sure.
Chronicle
play the remakes of one of the originals. It's a good set of iconic pokemon. fire red or leaf green.
MassaBleh
Question: is Missing no. in the remakes?
Hobbes777
.
ObviousObservationMan
No sorry
fred28056
2nd for x and y. They added a bunch of quality of life things that just make playing more enjoyable.
Hearingwildshit
Heart and soul are stupid amazing. Alpha and Omega are pretty great too.
PotatOSLament
Played to story's end on Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Don't have it in me to go through it again in Alpha/Omega.
RamenAndBooze
i'd go for it. loved them even after clearing sapphire. plus, if you move a pokemon from the originals you get a certificate
PotatOSLament
From Advance to 3DS? How? And I would have SO many certificates.
tuxman20
Pokémon X and Y are my all time favorite. Perfect balance of gameplay and advancement so you never feel like you have to grind.
DoctahGhostly
I loved the follow-up ORAS too. The epilogue did a great job of tying the new generations in a neat little bow. Didn’t like sun/moon as much
TotalLiar
Yeah. Although the story was pretty cliché, I️ think the mega evolutions were the best addition to the series.
ScaryScarab
I’m sad they didn’t make more
PotatOSLament
As someone who didn't get a 3DS, what do you rank Diamond/Pearl, Black/White (is BW2 a true sequel?) X/Y, HG/SS, Alpha/Omega, Sun/Moon?
tuxman20
Sun/Moon is a refreshing departure from the standard for some. B/W was my least favourite: worst new roster but the story had “depth”.
tuxman20
Diamond/Pearl is my 2nd favorite. Vast game, good selection, extinction event that has to be averted. Good times ????
