FAQ by: Fire_Pro_Fan
===========================================================
Released in 2000 on Nintendo's Game Boy Color exclusively
in Japan, this 1-on-1 Pro-Wrestling title features several
recognizable faces (all under different aliases) and a
grappling system nearly identical to Fire Pro Wrestling.
Pocket Pro Wrestling: Perfect Wrestler was released one
year before SPIKE would bring the Fire Pro Wrestling
series to the Game Boy Advance in 2001.
This FAQ contains:
* All 12 (10 regular and 2 hidden characters)covered
* A complete walkthrough of every mode
* All Finishers listed
* Secrets, tips and tricks

========================================================
******GAMEPLAY******
========================================================
===============
Finisher Meter:
===============
A white energy bar above each Wrestler's name.
With damage taken and moves applied to either
Wrestler, the Finisher Meter will begin to
turn yellow.
Once a Wrestler's Finisher Meter is completely
yellow, the Wrestler can then HOLD SELECT + A
to activate the chance to perform their Finisher.
Once SELECT + A has been pressed, the Wrestler
will perform a taunt and their Finisher Meter
will then turn Yellow and White. During this
time, the Wrestler will have the opportunity
to perform their Finishing move on the opponent
for the remainder of a few seconds.
A Wrestler's Finisher Meter will return to white
automatically once a Wrestler's Finisher has
been successfully performed. Additionally, a
Wrestler's Finisher Meter will also return to
white if the Wrestler does not perform their
Finisher in the small window of time given.
====================================
Raising a Wrestler's Finisher Meter:
====================================
The following moves will raise either Wrestler's
Finisher Meter:
* Taunts (SELECT)
* Grapples
* Submission holds
To encourage fair play, punching,kicking or stomping
an opponent will not raise a Wrestler's Finisher
Meter (though, the Wrestler who is on the receiving
end will receive energy towards their Finisher Meter
as a penalty).
======================
Performing a Finisher:
======================
A Wrestler's Finisher can only be performed on an
opponent under two circumstances:
1) The opponent is grappled while in a groggy state
(for Finishers applied from front or back grapples)
2) The opponent is laying on the ground (for Finishers
that are applied as submission holds).
The easiest way to perform a Finisher to a groggy
opponent from a front or back grapple is to immediately
bring them to their feet after knocking them down (
the more damage a Wrestler has taken, the longer they
will remain in a groggy state).
Once a Wrestler's Finisher has been performed, a high
pitch sound effect will be heard and the Wrestler's
Finisher Meter will automatically return to zero.

CHAMPION ROAD
=============
Take on the entire roster of Wrestlers to become
World Champion. There are a total of eleven matches
(nine regular opponents plus two hidden boss
characters).
When selecting Champion Road mode, two options will
then be presented:
[ START ]
[PASSWORD]
Choosing START will begin Champion Road under a new
save file while selecting the PASSWORD option will
allow the player to input a password they have saved
from Champion Road mode.
After defeating an opponent, a password is presented
at the end of each match which the player can use to
save or load their current progress in Champion Road
mode.
If the player loses a match, the following options will
then be presented:
[REMATCH]
[ QUIT ]
__________________

EXHIBITION MATCH
================

=================
ELIMINATION MATCH
=================
Each player selects a team of three Wrestlers
to compete in a series of individual, 1-on-1 matches.
The first player to have all three of their Wrestlers
eliminated loses the Elimination.
If the player is facing the computer, the player will
take turns selecting the computer's Wrestlers as well
before the start of the Elimination.
__________________
==============
CHALLENGE MODE
==============
Just like CHAMPION ROAD mode, the player will go
up against the entire eleven Wrestler roster with
two minor adjustments:
1) The password system has been disabled
2) One loss and it's an instant game over.
There is no noticeable adjustment to the game's
difficulty itself.

The following Wrestlers are hidden boss characters
that can only be unlocked by inputting two different
codes at the title screen. For more information on
unlocking the boss characters, please visit the
"Secrets, tips & tricks" section of this FAQ.
THE MACHUTO
Based on: The Great Muta
Height: 186cm
Weight: 110kg
Finisher: Brainbuster - A
(front grapple on groggy opponent)
Sporting a bandana that reads "evil" in Kanji,
The Machuto is the first hidden Boss character
the player encounters.
Machuto's bird-like nose and appearance was also
inspired by the "Tengu" (mischievous Mountain
Goblins from Japanese folklore).
The Great Muta himself would don a Tengu mask
early in his career as part of his entrance attire.
_________________________________
ALEXANDER GLASS
Based on: Hulk Hogan
Height: 200cm
Weight: 140kg
Finisher: Brainbuster - A
(front grapple on groggy opponent)
The second and final hidden boss character.
Alexander has the best stats in the game attack
and defense wise.
From his Brainbuster to his Lariat, all of
Alexander's attacks are highly damaging and
should be approached with caution.
At first glance, Alexander may resemble Fatal
Fury's Wolfgang Krauser or Blazing Tornado's
Hizelshutat Von Ludwig, but Alexander's towering
height, long hair and use of the Lariat are all
inspired by none other than Hulk Hogan (who named
his Lariat finisher "The Axe Bomber" when Wrestling
in Japan).
