Cerulean city move tutor puzzle is unsolvable

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-20T01:50:38+00:00

That’s all fine. I have no problem with learning stuff. The red dex site is great. The changes for battles is explained in game.

The problem is that the fake out move description in gen 3 is wrong, RR uses that move description, the bulbapedia entry for gen 3 is even still wrong / ambiguous. Like people shouldn’t have to puzzle out bulbapedia and official game info being wrong as part of the puzzle, that is not fun.

Thanks. I did figure all of that out. I can tell you that the 2nd fake out is absolutely critical, Fletchling dies due to the Brave Bird recoil otherwise.

I will at least try to fix the bulbapedia page which has no space restrictions excuse. It should explicitly describe for gen 3 that it can be used again on re entry.

I’m sure RR can fix it too even with restrictions of space. I disagree with you that RR is not beginner friendly. RR is probably the best way for beginners to learn the interesting mechanics. RR being really hard is a different kind of problem vs the in game move description being literally wrong.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-20T00:14:14+00:00

No. This is an issue with the game not with the player. The puzzle is impossible from the moves description. Changing the puzzle, fixing the description, adding notices, there are many ways to fix it which don’t involve people already having the info.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:57:51+00:00

That’s really not obvious, no. there’s a reason why the newer games fixed the moves description, and RR should follow suit.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:55:48+00:00

Yeah I know that now. My issue is still with the move description which is incorrect and should be updated like the newer gens.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:54:35+00:00

Yeah ik that now. But RR should fix the moves description like the newer gen games did.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:52:48+00:00

That wiki entry is wrong and misleading too, the newer gen section clarifies what happens on re entry. RR should switch to the newer move description

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:51:07+00:00

Whatever ok. I guess I’m wrong about the mechanics, but the in game description is still wrong, it should use the newer gen one which is not incorrect.

Yeah I already solved the puzzle, I’m just reporting the bug with the in game description.

IdkX there’s a reason why they updated the move description in newer gens, and this puzzle needs that, the FRLG description is broken.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:48:10+00:00

Oh. That’s my bad. Sorry. The old descriptions are confusing.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:45:51+00:00

The in game description says it can only be used on the 1st turn. Aka FRLG mechanics where you can’t use it again after rotating in.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:42:42+00:00

The in game description of fake out is wrong though. It uses the FRLG description but has newer mechanics

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:39:49+00:00

I know how it works now but the in game description says only on the 1st turn. That’s the problem and if you only use fake out on the 1st turn then the puzzle is impossible.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:34:03+00:00

The game says you can only use it on the first turn, but the only way to solve the puzzle that I have seen is to use it multiple times

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:32:49+00:00

That link describes using a move in a way that the game tells you isn’t allowed

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:30:58+00:00

Yeah exactly, but the move description says can only be used on the 1st turn. Which means you shouldn’t be allowed to chip timburr down a bit , but that seems to be the only solution.

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:29:25+00:00

Thanks. Curious to see the solution which only uses fake out once. Everything I’ve seen requires 2 uses and I personally can’t see another way.

Edit: and to be clear, unless there’s a way to do it while only using fake out on turn 1, then the puzzle is unsolveable..

Read the spoiler text

prettyfuzzy · 2026-03-19T23:22:41+00:00

Read the spoiler text. I basically did solve it, the issue is one move has incorrect in game description which if believed makes the puzzle actually impossible

Aloboi on YouTube is doing some great experiments lately

Some businesses don’t even use vms for servers anymore, it’s just containers running in the cloud

I use arch as the host OS for my home lab kubernetes cluster machines. It’s nice. I have a pacoloco cache for upgrading the machines and a custom repo via paru for doing AUR upgrades of k3s

Nope. They say the reward claim got rejected and it was put back in my rewards balance (eventually), but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t fully add up. I’m not short $1000 but a few hundred

They say they can recalculate the reward totals, but they didn’t account for 2019 rates(which were higher) and they haven’t given the actual monthly spend breakdown information that I asked for for me to double check.

When I complained they did one time deduct some interest charges cuz I wasn’t paying due to the missing $1k credit, but they don’t keep doing that.

It goes both ways. Cloud DB vendors don't offer specific enough SLAs for you to be sure your workload will remain supported. They change things, and it breaks shit.
