Tell me a Pokémon Generation that's not the first that gives you any freedom on how you advance through it.
Not many, if at all. Why bother when the Internet exists? However, fact stands that you could have reached the spot by mere chance. The Sealed Chamber contains the Braille alphabet. Once you saw it's Braille, you could've looked for a Braille booklet somewhere and read the writing, or sort out the alphabet given to you in-game by yourself. This is more time-consuming, and you need to backtrack a lot (You'd have to go for a Dig Pokémon after reading the first bit, and then go get Wailord and Relicanth after reading the second), but it could have been done still. It's just that no one, neither kids nor older fans like us, are up to do such a seemingly complex research and unveiling by ourselves. In any case, the Beasts in GSC are in the same league anyway. Yes, you see them run away, and you might assume that you'll come across them eventually. But what if you don't? What'd you think if you had never read anything about the wandering Beasts in the Internet and never came across them after making them run from the Brass Tower? The very exact same. That it's impossible to get them without any outside help. In fact, the same goes for the Legendary Birds. Only Moltres is findable through your journey (And only in RBY). Articuno is in an skippable area, and Zapdos is in an optional area. FRLG Moltres is also in an area you don't have to go too deep into. Unlike the Beasts and the Regis, which actually give you at least a few mythos regarding them somewhere in the game, the Birds only have subtle mentions. Nothing else. Of course, if you're a typical gamer and go look everywhere, you'll get to them. The same goes for the Regis. It just involves a much deeper research. So yes, it's possible, but it's too tedious and the Internet exists, so why bother?dukeburger said:
