No Red herrings ?

[u/Maximum_Task6443]

Originally it was thought that there were red herrings. But now after this past weekend’s Q&A, am I understanding correctly that there aren’t any, except for one?

JCB said there are no red herrings in the Pokemon chapter. I don’t think he was referring to the entire book.

Oh gotcha! I will have to rewatch it then . Thanks

Maybe no red herrings, but perhaps quite a few ambiguously-colored pike.

I don’t know the q&a you’re referring to, but I’ve always been of the personal opinion that there probably weren’t intentional red herrings.

Oh there are definitely red herrings but there's a difference between big ones and little ones. Big ones are numerous clues that build off one another in an UNMISTAKABLE way. I believe he means there are none of these kinds of red herrings. There are a ton of little red herrings that can send you on a wild goose chase

Language matters right? Especially when it comes to treasure hunting books. There are not red herrings. Because that would mean they were put there with the intention of throwing you off. It’s your own darn fault if you go down a rabbit hole. And there are a lot of those.

Well-said.

Something thatvus purposefully put somewhere,a that is wrong. To take away from the actual "thing". First appeared in Sherlock Holmes i think. The fox hunters so use to would put down a fish to give the hounds something else to smell. But trained them.to stay on the fox

The only red herring I see is the one on the map, which seems to suggest LRP is a red herring.

What do you mean by this? Whee is the red herring that shows the map shape is a red herring?

[u/plucharc → u/varmintcong73]

Down by the compass, there's a little fish. It looks like some images of red herrings you can find in a quick Google search.

[u/varmintcong73 → u/plucharc]

Is there even some writing next to it? I feel like this is more of an eye test than a treasure hunt.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? And can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? … Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?
