Probably one of the easier weird evolutions to accidentally figure out frankly
You're probably going to have pokeballs in your bag and you might not have a full team yet by the time it evolves

It only took one kid to know about it and then it would spread like wildfire, good times…

It wasn't that limited in the west, unless you lived in extremely rural areas. I found out from a gaming forum. You had gamefaqs, forums, and a even rudimentary searches.

wut? Game guides and GameFAQ's had been around for years. It wasn't hard to figure out, plus we had strategy guides to help. It legit was not a problem.

I don’t think you were supposed to “figure it out.” It was supposed to be a secret a number of players would stumble upon accidentally, and then share with each other, like Feebas or Chimecho.

In 2002 I would regularly go online to look up information about games. For Pokemon, the go-to place was Pojo, which had all sorts of walkthroughs, tips, egg move information, and the like. I never considered my level of internet access as something unusual or rare.

Not having a full team by the second gym is not that tall an ask.
That being said, it is not like you were supposed to figure it out on your own. Connecting with other people is how you were supposed to play the games. All it takes is one kid getting one by accident and telling a friend.

Nah I grew up with RSE and it shitty dialup was still pretty common around that time depending on where you lived or what you could afford. I could go online to check Psypokes and Gamefaqs but it wasn’t fast and easy.

I got one, but it was probably on accident. Nincada evolves pretty early so I guess I just didn't have a full team?

even with having to connect to dialup it was pretty damn easy, maybe not in hindsight with 20+ years of better technology behind us, but if you wanted to know anything about a game it was still trivially easy to find it and you didn't have to go to any store or spend any money

Also Nincada is early so unless you catch everything by Dewford, you'll end getting it

I remember figuring out Golem evolved from Graveller and being chastised by my peers for being full of shit, because it was just a theory and I had no way to prove it.

It was only when the Fossil expansion of the TCG came out and gave us definitive proof that Golem was Graveller's evolution that I was vindicated.

Tbf I was using a dogshit pc until our family got a new one from a relative, and I was also 8 at the time, generally most of the kids at school weren’t even tapped in like that, anyone who knew shit knew it from the guide

That is literally the only gen where you need an extra pokeball.
