Introduction
Welcome to Kou Dai Guai Shou II, this game is a demake of Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald for the NES. This is the second of three games which covers the story from after the 4th gym until right after the Team Aqua hideout in Lilycove City.
During the course of the game, you will capture and evolve different pokémon and battle multiple trainers.
The missable achievements for this game are the challenges related to the gym leaders as well as all trainers, because some Team Aqua grunts will disappear after certain events. Everything related to catching pokémon is also marked as missable since there is no way to generate infinite money so if you play pretty badly or are save after being too unlucky with the catch rate, you can run out of Pokéballs and fail to get these achievements.
Roadmap
Step 1: Beat the game while reducing the amount of backtrack. To reduce the amount of time needed to complete this game and avoiding having to start over please consider the missable achievements while playing the game. The achievements to consider are the gym leaders and team aqua challenges, defeat all trainers, catch all pokémon and the evolution achievements, a small recommendation to avoid missing an item and backtracking i would also recoomend checking the collect all overworld items achievement guide.
Step 2: Catch all pokémon that were not caught in step 1 and evolve all pokémon not evolved for the relevant achievements.
Step 3: You are done enjoy completing this set and take some time before another set 👍
Conclusion
For gamers who are experienced with the pokémon games this game will be an easy/mild challenge taking into consideration the language barrier, catch rates and the level grind for some evolution achievements.
