Alright, so we left off at... wait a minute, something's not right...

http://i48.tinypic.com/10ztvgx.jpg
That's better. Anyway, we were going to go through this path to see if Oak's at the next town.
So off we go!

http://i47.tinypic.com/dfw16x.jpg
Oh, what the hell!

http://i48.tinypic.com/91l2dw.jpg
Dammit Oak, we were supposed to be looking for you, not the other way around! I mean, we searched every frigging corner of this small dump you people call a town just to find you!
Where were you hiding, man!? Did you swim across that water down there in your goddamn labcoat!?

http://i50.tinypic.com/x9i5f.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2vs4t1g.jpg
Um, yeah, you could have saved us the trouble by showing up when we were trying to find you.

http://i50.tinypic.com/97qjx4.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2i0zn0w.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/ivcz1s.jpg
Okay then. After this is done, are you going to tell us why you wanted to see us in the first place?

http://i50.tinypic.com/9gadqa.jpg
So now we follow him.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2is74vt.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/2enot2h.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/n3lmj7.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/15n9lj5.jpg
Hello, G! ...again.

http://i47.tinypic.com/16gwnb5.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2drs4yd.jpg
Oh, G, you never change.

http://i49.tinypic.com/fkb8qx.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/350v3t3.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2ex8os9.jpg
Alright, so now we finally get to the bottom of all this.

http://i47.tinypic.com/hv6i2r.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/25utsvr.jpg
As we can clearly see.

http://i48.tinypic.com/ndsmu.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/ibm102.jpg
Okay, if that was supposed to be a joke, it's not. It's just stupid. We already know what those balls contain.

http://i46.tinypic.com/xgfgj.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/seosgz.jpg
Did your childhood involve playing tournaments every week and gloating over how your Pokemon had perfect IVs and EVs?

http://i49.tinypic.com/jtopid.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/15n0kfm.jpg
Alright, thanks Oak, for allowing us to have either a poisonous plant-animal hybrid, a lizard capable of creating wildfires, or a turtle that can cut steel with pressurized water! Nothing irresponsible about that!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2cproz6.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/11ta042.jpg
Oh for... are you really going to let someone like HIM have a murderbeast too?

http://i49.tinypic.com/wwg9p1.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/k9jmky.jpg
You would.

http://i49.tinypic.com/idfzib.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/28ltk79.jpg

Well I'm lazy, so I'll just take the one directly to my side here.

http://i48.tinypic.com/xkuq8n.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2mwb14p.jpg
If life has taught me anything, it's that fires are more dangerous than water or poison. Anything to get the power of FIRE away from your egotistic grandchild.

http://i50.tinypic.com/25njp.jpg
I bet it is.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2nk7ud4.jpg
Alright, our first creature of unchecked destruction!

http://i49.tinypic.com/142y2pu.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2eed05z.jpg
That's a good idea! Obviously we want to give it an AWESOME name that people will know and fear for the rest of their short lives. Something like... like...

http://i46.tinypic.com/2d88wk.jpg
Oh whatever, this'll do.

http://i49.tinypic.com/xljgqr.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/2uj4f9l.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/301mv6x.jpg
Aaaaaaannnnnnnnd he always gets the one with an elemental advantage to ours.

Very well then, let's check out our Charmander.

http://i46.tinypic.com/kc1du8.jpg
Oh man look at those stats. Nice.

http://i46.tinypic.com/ztuoly.jpg
Alright, we're done here.

http://i49.tinypic.com/29wkaa8.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2agme0p.jpg
How about NO.

http://i46.tinypic.com/20ht6gw.jpg
Dammit, G.

http://i45.tinypic.com/6qi3ao.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/ddhums.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<HA HA hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha okay okay I'll stop.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<...You sure now?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Yeah. ...hehe.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<...Okay. Well, I guess our, um, newly-appointed masters want us to fight each other.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Awww, do we have to?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Well, we have no choice in the matter. One of us has to go down, otherwise the game won't be able to proceed.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<...what?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Err, I mean we'll be stuck here for ages. Look, I know we've been through a lot of good times together... I still remember the day when someone's ice cream fell on top of me and you helped get it off before I->

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<OKAY LET'S DO THIS! I'M PSYCHED NOW, BRING IT ON!>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<What>

Fortunately, a level 5 Squirtle only has Tackle and Tail Whip, which is good, because if it had any water moves this fight would have led to a painfully quick defeat. Only thing is, our level 5 Charmander has an equally lame moveset too. Oh well.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ofuir5.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/205il0.jpg<Yeah... no I'm fine... just caught me off-guard... at least there's no such thing as throwing up in this game... or internal organ failures...>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Uh?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<...nevermind. Okay, I'm ready. Make your move.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<That's it? You just wag your tail in my face?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Hey, you looked like you were about to give birth after that last hit.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<(Heh, maybe in the next gen...) No, I'm okay. I can take a lot more than that. Go ahead, give it all you got.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Okay, well then I'll->

http://i50.tinypic.com/nd3ogi.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/1h4746.jpg<Too slow!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/iqfzfd.jpg<Aaahhh!>

And so, after a few more rounds of that...

http://i48.tinypic.com/vyxx5w.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/1h4746.jpg<Take this!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/iqfzfd.jpg<Konomama de wa owaranzoooo!!>

http://i47.tinypic.com/149yr0m.jpg
VICTOLY!

http://i50.tinypic.com/2mc69ec.jpg<Gaaaaahhhhhhhhh...>

http://i46.tinypic.com/6ptgft.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/30w7axh.jpg
http://i49.tinypic.com/350km1k.jpg<Hooray! An arbitrary power level!>

http://i47.tinypic.com/dr7bwh.jpg
Delicious, delicious stats.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z53s0k.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/2ci8qd3.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2hfp6q0.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<No, I'm pretty sure that in time, if you treat him with love, care, and painstaking attention to his stats and moveset, you'll have one of the best tanks around.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/2rqmtkh.jpg
MONEY.

http://i49.tinypic.com/357qadj.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/23rsfpi.jpg
Yeah, maybe you should, um, revive it first. I mean, it can't really fight if it's unconscious.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2mc69ec.jpg<Unnnnhhhh...>

http://i48.tinypic.com/9857pi.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/kafbx3.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/2mw5xxf.jpg
Okay then.

http://i50.tinypic.com/313iryf.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/5nt3ro.jpg
Seriously? Would YOU raise a newborn by making it fight? Didn't think so.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Hey, I'm not a newborn. You saw me back there, right?>

http://i47.tinypic.com/335fqdd.jpg
Aaaaannnnnd... what do we do now? Oh well, there seems to be nothing else to do, so lets go through this path to the next town.
Seriously, screw this place.

http://i49.tinypic.com/j60nk7.jpg
Wow! Where did these colors come from?

http://i49.tinypic.com/2hqrsef.jpg
Right, the tall grass thing.

http://i46.tinypic.com/b8lr7k.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/iggduq.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/23swzv8.jpg
This shouldn't be too much trouble.

Seconds later...

http://i47.tinypic.com/105zg5w.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Today I learned that wind can be pretty mean when it wants to.>

http://i47.tinypic.com/rua876.jpg
Okay, shouldn't you, um, BE at a Pokemon mart? Or is this your lunch break?

http://i45.tinypic.com/11qodaa.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/mrb5fk.jpg
Well whaddaya know, that's where I'm headed! UNCANNY.

http://i48.tinypic.com/fntr4l.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2hd2nvm.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/21j62j7.jpg
Free samples are always good. Never pass them up.

http://i49.tinypic.com/24ypxck.jpg
Now who's this joker?

http://i49.tinypic.com/11qtpqs.jpg
Well, yeah.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2mo9xl3.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2isfj4k.jpg
You honestly think they're scary? Are they any more scary than the birds that shoot lacerating gusts of wind? Are they any more scary than the bucktoothed rats that will take a bite out of you if given the chance? Are they any more scary than my freaking fire lizard with a flame on its tail?

http://i50.tinypic.com/2uxtekj.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2efhzz8.jpg
Okay, that's convenient.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2rcr69w.jpg
Okay, tune in next time, when we get to see what new bullcrap this next town has to offer us!

Stuff hidden in tiny swap quotes

Was I the only one who noticed those? You don't have to make 'em XBOX HUEG, but make 'em a little bigger next time, GC. I almost didn't spot 'em.

Bard The 5th LW

01-26-2010, 06:35 PM

I just noticed them because (thats what I'm going to call you) pointed them out. But I don't think they were important enough t make huge anyways.

I liked the bit were the Pokemon had a conversation, it makes you wonder. I also like the comment about 'kill beasts'.

Whomper

01-26-2010, 06:38 PM

I felt the grumpy old man picture would've best been left for... well... the grumpy old man.

Viridis

01-26-2010, 06:46 PM

I didn't notice them until they were pointed out. AND I had to quote your message and look at the code to find the things. Definitely make them bigger.

Lost in Time

01-26-2010, 06:57 PM

I thought it was tiny because he wanted them hard to find? A reward to those who look, ya know?

I could be wrong, I'm not in his head.

I felt the grumpy old man picture would've best been left for... well... the grumpy old man.
It's based off of a gag from this episode of Father Ted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X73kfAA8mn8). I apologize if it wasn't funny.

It was plenty funny. It just reminded me of that old man.

Large picture hidden in swap tags that makes me look like a total dumbass.

Huh.

Ah I needed a laugh today. XD You stopping at the elite four or are you going all the way up to Mewtwo?

Great Cartoonist

01-30-2010, 01:34 AM

I plan on beating the Elite Four, getting Mewtwo, and then beating the Elite Four. Again.

Alright, back to the failing.

http://i50.tinypic.com/e0if5h.jpg
Last time, we were about to enter Viridian City.

http://i46.tinypic.com/e7dkkk.jpg
And now we have! See? The palette has changed!

http://i46.tinypic.com/2iuxswi.jpg
See? SEE?

http://i50.tinypic.com/14cw6pz.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/2h3tv0z.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/oubmsi.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/k49rwx.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2jdlutl.jpg
Hmm, okay, maybe we should do that. So now let's go find a Pokemon Center.

http://i47.tinypic.com/n2immx.jpg
Oh hey, here it is!

http://i48.tinypic.com/jqmgjq.jpg
That is not a Nurse Joy. I was told that there was a Nurse Joy in every Pokemon Center.

http://i50.tinypic.com/148hd6q.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2h7l3lu.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2lrfd5.jpg
Yeah, sure, I just need the PP back.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2dt847.jpg
La, la, la la laaaaa~

http://i48.tinypic.com/i4n8k6.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2qkjvc1.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<"Fighting fit"? Who in the crap is "fit"? ...I apologize, I'm just over-analyzing a bit.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/kegtnd.jpg
Wait is this an offer or something? Because I don't do that.

http://i48.tinypic.com/309m3dg.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2gw747p.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/v837q.jpg
Oh hey, good to know. If it's free I'm all for it.

http://i46.tinypic.com/30sk1lw.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/zv3r09.jpg
As you can tell, Pokemon centers are this game's version of inns, except that they're free. We need something like that in every RPG.

http://i45.tinypic.com/wtieq.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/2058bbc.jpg
Hmmmm...

http://i50.tinypic.com/b99oci.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/5nkg0g.jpg
Hey, this place has free internet. And we can connect directly with our PC! Another reason why we're never going back to Pallet town again! Forever!
Also, we can connect with someone else's PC. Better not mess with that yet.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hey, I want to use the internet for a bit. Move over.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/2gy62w1.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Alright, so here it says I can learn Ember at level 9, which will allow me to defeat the bug Pokemon in the forest with ease... ugh, nothing here that will allow me to defeat Geodude and Onix, though... unless we use some heavy luck manipulation to get critical hits every time and evade all enemy attacks... Okay, I'm done.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/2jea8no.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/dfdbt5.jpg
I already know, but sure, why not. Let the other readers know.

I guess he doesn't know about Wurmple yet. How do you categorize a Schrodinger's worm anyway?

http://i48.tinypic.com/ibyrfa.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2qvbnde.jpg
What do you mean, "Poke BallS"?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2ufdopx.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/4h416q.jpg
Yes, because clearly, there's no such thing as using Pokemon for terrorism, right?

http://i45.tinypic.com/10hrnmg.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/30c0qr6.jpg
Everything is green about this city. These guys must never get tired of seeing green all the time.

http://i47.tinypic.com/iclph3.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2woywds.jpg
Well obviously since we can't get through here yet, we need to do some sort of quest first.

http://i45.tinypic.com/29z2cy8.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2ahacfc.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Whaaaaat?! That's your reason for not letting us pass? TAUROS [poop]!>

http://i49.tinypic.com/kf37eb.jpg
Alright, here's the mart that that employee was talking about. Let's go buy things!

http://i46.tinypic.com/333ipds.jpg
Sure did. I hated it and I'm never going back. FOREVER!

Okay, I'm cool now. Alright, so we get something that's NOT completely pointless...
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...if we didn't already have Bulbapedia. Seriously, though, this is just another contrived gameplay mechanic to artificially increase replay value. Besides, there's no way in hell we'll ever get Mew without hacking so normal 100% completion is out of the question. Also, GODDAMMIT>

Did we come here just so we could listen to your old man ramblings? Because I didn't ask for any of this.

http://i45.tinypic.com/8vuaup.jpg
Yeah, you should have started on doing 100% completion BEFORE you started competitive battling.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2w5lqvm.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2z69ois.jpg
Look, this sort of thing is usually left to someone's grandson, not your grandson's childhood rival.

How about NO.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2emjrro.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2ise4xz.jpg
Seriously, the internet did this a long time ago. You should just let us download all the info on Bulbapedia to the Pokedex.

Man we walks incredibly slow. Wait, I've got an idea.

Yeah, G didn't come by here did he?

Yeah, we don't really need it; I'm just picking it up to screw him over.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I can't believe that guy was so slow that he completely forgot to stop by HIS OWN HOUSE even though he just said he was going to TWENTY SECONDS AGO and he even got a HEAD START. Good Arceus, are half the NPCs in this game suffering from brain tumors or something?>

http://i49.tinypic.com/2iqnwgy.jpg
This time I'm definitely sure we're never going to return to Pallet town again. FOREVER.

http://i46.tinypic.com/5n29hh.jpg
Now let's get back to our more important task of buying things.

http://i47.tinypic.com/r076mr.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/33z4ew0.jpg
Poke Balls are the first item on the list for a reason: We'll need them to catch Pokemon.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2z6rnt4.jpg
I'm going to buy as much as my budget will allow.

http://i47.tinypic.com/xnuown.jpg
Alright, now let's go see what's... westish.

http://i50.tinypic.com/25iohtt.jpg
A patch of tall grass! Maybe there's some useful Pokemon here!

http://i45.tinypic.com/qz0v1d.jpg

OHHHH SNAP FIRST TRY!

http://i46.tinypic.com/v64qdi.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/or34pj.jpg
And this is what happens when you catch a Pokemon you haven't caught before.

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Hmmm... why?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well, because the playe-um, humans who catch us like to give us nicknames and that's what we have to deal with.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<...>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<...Adrian thinks that is a good name for Adrian! Adrian thinks Gofur will be a good master!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...buh?>

http://i47.tinypic.com/30c205z.jpg
Alright, so we'll need to level up this one a bit for it to have a fighting chance against our next challenge.

http://i48.tinypic.com/15e8opz.jpg
There we go.

http://i47.tinypic.com/332yzwi.jpg
OH HELL YEAH

http://i49.tinypic.com/qq1uus.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well, you've only been with us for, what, a minute or so? But you're on the right track... I guess.>

A level 3 Nidoran might be too much for Adrian so let's see if we can catch it on the first try. If not, we can always switch to Bard.
GO GO GADGET... uhhh... GO POKEBALL!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2mepa1k.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2zegzg6.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i48.tinypic.com/v4yur8.jpg
This was the first thing I could think of, so we're going with it.

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Yaaaayyy~! Now onii-sama has a nickname as well!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Not very talkative, is he?>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Yes, well, Adrian thinks onii-sama can be very expressive when he wants to.>
NOTE: I have no goddamn clue how to correctly use Japanese honorifics.
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<At least you're honest about that.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/2vbr3n6.jpg
I'm going to switch Shepard up to the front.

I always did find it unsettling how quickly they were buddy buddy with Ash/the player after capture after fighting so hard to remain free. Seemed like the pokeball did something mental to them to me. A little unintended Nightmare Fuel/Moral Dissonance there.

Okay, just looked up the supposed explanation of "Pokemon battles are in fact a test of strength; if you can catch the wild pokemon, they will respect your ability and fight for you." Still seems shaky to me, though.

Right.... rambling a bit. Where was I? I liked the GODDAMMIT gag. I'd like to see the player just outright pissed off like that more.

We will never agree on a name.

Ecks

01-30-2010, 06:49 PM

Okay, I have two things here for you, GC.

One: -sama is the honorific you would use if you're putting someone on a figurative pedestal. Like, say you really REALLY like Chuck Norris. You would call him Norris-sama. Alternatively, the Japanese refer to "god-like figures" i.e. their superiors at work with the -sama honorific. Saying onii-sama is practically likening your older brother to God. -san is a much more general way of referring to someone that you're either not familiar with, or that you are familiar with them but prefer to respect them by remaining "distant" and using -san. If you're familiar with the person, and don't mind being close to them, use -kun (although it is generally not manly for a man to use the -kun honorific. Unless you're Shunsui Kyoraku or Jyuushiro Ukitake.)

Two: Name the Spearow Atton!

Sir Pinkleton

01-30-2010, 11:30 PM

I agree with naming him Pidgey.

Alternatively: En Taro Adun. No, I don't think you can fit all of that. maybe just Entaro; that sounds like an alright name.

I completely forgot about him and now am forced to change my suggestion to agree with you.

Name a ditto Visser Three or Ax (Aximili?), depending on if you want it to be unremittingly evil or not.

PCD

This means that Pinsir and Scyther have to be some variations of Jara Hamee and Ket Halpak. I will accept no less.

Animorphs have hijacked this Let's Play. Shudder with dread, all yea knowlessmen!

And while we're at it, there need to be paranoid jokes about who's Infected (EVERYONE!) and who isn't (ME! I cannot trust anyone else!). And maybe compare team Rocket to the Sharing.

God, the Nostalgia.

Tev

02-02-2010, 10:28 AM

Guy guy guys! You took a cute in-joke and ran waaaaaay too far with it. Let the Animophs have the Spearow. We can find many other other suitably nerdy things to call all the other pokemon. Troll through those Nickolodeon shows of your youth. What about Alex Mac? Can she be a Muk or a Ditto?

If you guys don't broaden your name appeal it won't be nearly as fun for GC to write this LP. It's bad enough he's going to have to maybe throw in Animorphs references every time he uses the bird. What else can we pack in here?

http://i50.tinypic.com/5fmzpt.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/9kclxk.jpg
...unless he does that, I guess.

http://i47.tinypic.com/20pvqt0.jpg<How about this, huh? You like that?>

http://i45.tinypic.com/6z3hiu.jpg
Just a bit more...

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qb9l7c.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/l9nr5.jpg
Oh, that's cruel.

http://i50.tinypic.com/r2m685.jpg
Fortunately, I get lucky and kick his ass.

BOOYAH, JERKS!

Oh yeah, him.

http://i50.tinypic.com/rvziow.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I'll handle him. It's... for personal reasons. Trust me.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Okay... now, just like last time, right?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Yeah... but I should warn you, buddy, I've become stronger than before.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<So have I.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<I've recently learned a new move and I plan to use it on you!>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Well, gee, thanks for spilling your strategy. Still, I guess I'm obliged to tell you that I also have a new move... but I'm not going to use it on you. Know why?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/23mro2d.jpg<Why?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/whhedx.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/w9xvrt.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/1h4746.jpg<Because I prefer to do this!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/iqfzfd.jpg<Argh!!... okay, looks like my ramming tactics aren't working that well... so it's time to bring out my secret weapon!>

http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<What do you mean, "secret"? I read your movelist on Bulba--I mean you just told me you had a new move that you were going to use so I don't->

http://i48.tinypic.com/iqfzfd.jpg<M... masaka...>

http://i47.tinypic.com/15e7dyg.jpg
That worked out pretty well I believe.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Why thank you. Been a pleasure. Not that I had much choice mind you.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/2njy054.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I'm more than experienced enough to know that this game's AI is really rather dumb.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/212d54h.jpg
And so, we school this jerk yet again.

http://i48.tinypic.com/142czgg.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/14io6kn.jpg
No, this time, it was
http://i47.tinypic.com/10r61cj.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/rrmas2.jpg
And I deserve this more than you do.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2hobdhs.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2ilh1yq.jpg
And you thought you can take them all on with a pitiful roster like that?

http://i47.tinypic.com/nq8ui9.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/etctgp.jpg
Seriously, get... stronger... Pokemon!

http://i45.tinypic.com/302pg6e.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2qxs5ef.jpg
Well then stop wasting my time!

http://i47.tinypic.com/15hbrc2.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/34or1av.jpg
Jerk.

http://i49.tinypic.com/sz92sp.jpg
Just because I can, I'm going to look around.

Also, Gofur briefly turns into Prof. Oak as he's leaving. Seriously.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2hoit8m.jpg
Well that was fun. Now let's go see what else there is to do.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2e1zpsp.jpg
Oh hey a gym.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2je31qx.jpg
Well, guess we'll come back later.

http://i48.tinypic.com/15nk8zk.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/k21b2v.jpg
Yeah, you sure took your goddamn time, you spiteful old man!

http://i47.tinypic.com/123sfiq.jpg
Yes I am, and I'm also wasting my time just talking to you, you big waste of time!

http://i49.tinypic.com/2r6momx.jpg
THANK YOU.

http://i49.tinypic.com/11wfpl0.jpg
Hmmm...

http://i48.tinypic.com/4twvno.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/a24w2q.jpg
Wait, I've got an idea.

http://i49.tinypic.com/nl77yp.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/fkcv4p.jpg
Thankfully, these guys don't have firewalls.

http://i45.tinypic.com/fdc0et.jpg
Alright, this is it.

http://i45.tinypic.com/1oosy1.jpg
What?

http://i50.tinypic.com/8x38rq.jpg<Oh, uh, well, goodbye you guys! It was fun!>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Bye! Adrian wishes you well!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Bye Not Tobias! I'll miss you! ...no really, I will. *sniff*>

http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i45.tinypic.com/2euk6mp.jpg
Now let's change the order a bit.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2jaybsl.jpg
INTO THE WOODS WE GO

http://i47.tinypic.com/15eguwk.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/11cb61l.jpg
Sure did! Would you like one, little child?

http://i50.tinypic.com/2zdss40.jpg
Well, there's nothing else to do, so yeah.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2gubcat.jpg
Or maybe someone just clear-cutted the forest in the shape of a maze.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2uivv2u.jpg
Arrows! Convenient.

http://i45.tinypic.com/209r155.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/r2m836.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/1180egx.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/28ckkly.jpg
Yep, nothing new.

http://i47.tinypic.com/28b4rpw.jpg
And they're not with you now because...?

http://i46.tinypic.com/2vulafr.jpg
That's nice. Moving on.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2nh01aa.jpg
Hey a Poke Ball!

http://i49.tinypic.com/6fyxhl.jpg
We found Poke Ball!

http://i49.tinypic.com/a9mdrl.jpg
OH WHAT

http://i47.tinypic.com/1zew3v8.jpg
Seriously, my first encounter in this area, folks.

One critical hit later...

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qnuk92.jpg
Gonna catch it because it has a low encounter rate and I'm not going to go through some ungodly hassle just to find another one.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2iqke3p.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/e8wizt.jpg
BINGO

http://i48.tinypic.com/24fbvdj.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2dakqpi.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/2r46c9h.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/n2zvao.jpg
Yeah, I know how much you people like this goddamn mouse, so I'll let you people decide on a name. Stay tuned for next time, when I find stuff and get into fights.

It's simply for convenience and I can level Tobias in other places if I wanted to.
Also I HAVE A PLAN. You'll find out later.

Well I rolled some dice and randomly chose one of your suggested names.
Although I made a slight alteration.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2z8z3u9.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Er... yes?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<TOTALLY! I knew you'd find it cool too! Don't you wish you had a name as cool as that?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Sometimes I do... but not in this case.>

http://i45.tinypic.com/14ug9yg.jpg
Oh yeah, so here we are in Viridian Forest still.

http://i49.tinypic.com/ofsnpd.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2yxqkpd.jpg
This is a WARNING. It means you will be poisoned in this area.

http://i45.tinypic.com/4hqzgm.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/2ii7imu.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/1olvs0.jpg
Heck no, I WANT to be in them so I can subject my captive beasts to all sorts of unusual punishment in order to make them stronger!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<That... that's kinda worrying.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/v4w39g.jpg
Alright! This is the one I want.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2qmet1k.jpg
First, we weaken it...

http://i49.tinypic.com/23wrz40.jpg
Then, you try and catch it. Just like those TRAINER TIPS tell you to.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ibf061.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2rwrgh5.jpg
Easy catch.

http://i48.tinypic.com/fxtseu.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/25ssnqx.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/33ti83a.jpg
This was the first thing that came to mind, so I'm going with it.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2nav66t.jpg<Hey, um, what just happened? I'm all kinds of confused here.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oh, you just got knocked for a loop and then stuffed inside a spherical container smaller than you, in defiance of a few laws of physics; nothing special really.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/2nav66t.jpg<I... guess that's a reasonable explanation?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<That it is, friend. That it is.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Okay who invited you to this conversation.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Dude, we're all friends here, right? You gotta be more friendly if you wanna keep in touch.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Look, I... urrrrggghhh! Forget it.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/dqt6aq.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/5ujogo.jpg
Now let's change the order up a bit.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2czt5qu.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/343hu1d.jpg
Why am I talking to you.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2lkfxp5.jpg
Hey, I've still got 8 or so left, and there's only one more Pokemon I could possibly want from this place... not that I'd use it. Besides, I have other things to do than to waste time talking to you.

http://i48.tinypic.com/qsv29d.jpg
Like this, for one.

http://i48.tinypic.com/j9351y.jpg
Metapods and Kakunas are a good source of free EXP for one simple reason. No, I want YOU to figure it out.

http://i45.tinypic.com/5jvhau.jpg
The problem is that these guys take a lot longer to kill when you're only using a Caterpie.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2443yo7.jpg
Some amount of patience is required.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2doqrc.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/2vjqu1i.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2ljkmm0.jpg
Alright! Only need 6 more levels on this baby!

http://i48.tinypic.com/t8omr8.jpg
We stop by Viridian's Pokemon Center to recharge PP before getting back into the action.

http://i47.tinypic.com/14bo13.jpg
And one of these finally show up.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2e5nur8.jpg
Oh look at me, I'm the OLD MAN and I'm going to throw a Poke Ball right off the bat and catch it at full health!

http://i48.tinypic.com/fz42uv.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/vcema.jpg
See! This is how you youngsters catch them Pokemon! Ho ho ho!

http://i49.tinypic.com/2n8svhh.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2rz2rlw.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/cm2c0.jpg
Yeah, I got nothin'.

http://i47.tinypic.com/mug8ls.jpg
So, after a few more Metapods, we get our Caterpie up another level.

http://i46.tinypic.com/28hl8p5.jpg
AND THEN!

http://i46.tinypic.com/2e5v8g8.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ql5wtc.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/2m3kbar.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2hyxjit.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Okay, WHAT. That is not evolution. That is simply a natural progression from a larval stage to a pupal stage. Evolution is supposed to be about genetic variance and the creation of a new species and all that crap! What the hell!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/28ahyzq.jpg<I'm not entirely sure what you said, and I'm also not entirely sure how I even got this new body. It was kinda... spontaneous.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<DAMMIT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH THIS I AAAARRRRGBLGLLGLBBBBBLLL>

In this game, Metapod doesn't learn Harden when you get it from evolving Caterpie. Later games fix it so that Metapod both starts with it and then learns it at level 7.

http://i47.tinypic.com/iemq28.jpg
Oh hey, who's this guy who seems to be waiting in such a way that I can't get past this path without being seen?

http://i45.tinypic.com/296dy4l.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/2z8ndit.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/33oqg7s.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2mqopia.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/25zi2rl.jpg
No, um, how about you go back to your friend and ask if he'd want to fight you. Really, I'm sure he would.

http://i47.tinypic.com/a5gmdj.jpg
Stupid forced battles.

http://i45.tinypic.com/k9t7q9.jpg
No points for guessing the theme of his Pokemon.

http://i49.tinypic.com/24g97yf.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/1z6s1nk.jpg
Now, as everyone knows bug Pokemon are at a disadvantage against poison.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2hn2b9k.jpg
So, let's bring out a pure poison Pokemon.

http://i48.tinypic.com/122yqmh.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2zqsga8.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/10e3qfp.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/15hha3m.jpg
Oh how I love the total randomness of the AI in this game.

http://i45.tinypic.com/xomcte.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/15hha3m.jpg
Okay what. If you're already faster than your opponent, using a speed debuff will just make you waste a turn.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2heeyc1.jpg
Especially since my strategy at this point is to attack relentlessly.

http://i48.tinypic.com/211uwjn.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2ds49dy.jpg
Even the game flat-out tells you that you fail.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2moq9gh.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2v29ic5.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/30m39mr.jpg
YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL ATTACK! USE IT! IT MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE, BUT IT STILL CAUSES DAMAGE!

http://i46.tinypic.com/11bnb0m.jpg
Seriously.

http://i47.tinypic.com/261m4hk.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/25h1wl5.jpg
When you switch Pokemon in the middle of battle, EXP is distributed evenly between all participants.

http://i45.tinypic.com/volu94.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/33n97k4.jpg
http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Adrian did something good, right?>

http://i49.tinypic.com/71p7oi.jpg
Alright, that's... marginally better than Tackle I guess?

http://i45.tinypic.com/5e94sj.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2nu4q5g.jpg
Weak.

http://i49.tinypic.com/11aisyq.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/15zqy6w.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/iv8o75.jpg
Still, Jeigan needs the EXP more than Adrian.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2vjotbn.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/6qxu34.jpg
Oh not this again.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2w7fl8o.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/260zzfq.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/5zp11w.jpg
Just imagine this is what the entire battle looks like.

http://i47.tinypic.com/25q3vip.jpg
Yeah, that was annoying.

http://i48.tinypic.com/11gke3d.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/1zduag.jpg
YOU WIN
PERFECT

http://i45.tinypic.com/k5244g.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/sn09r5.jpg
I had a Caterpie and it used better tactics than yours did.
Then it grew into Metapod and I beat yours with it.

http://i50.tinypic.com/24llf2c.jpg
These guys are the small-time trainers who barely put up a challenge, so naturally the rewards aren't so great.
Still, I'd like to see a Bug Catcher with all Scizor and Heracross.

http://i47.tinypic.com/wjt2cx.jpg
Damningly, once you beat a trainer once, they'll never challenge you again.
This means that until you reach the Elite Four, the game will only give you a finite amount of money. It's quite painful to lose a lot of battles in this game.
They fixed this in the later games, which is nice, but it kinda takes away the fear of losing and the necessity of training extra hard to win.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2w2m0w7.jpg
Okay who's this guy who's looking in the other direction now?

http://i48.tinypic.com/n5pis.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/13z0mc9.jpg
I grab his attention and this is what he tells me.

http://i49.tinypic.com/688zk8.jpg
Okay, so this one has three Pokemon! That puts him one step higher than the others we've fought so far!

http://i49.tinypic.com/24g97yf.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/11mc0gh.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/24g1r8m.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/214w7yb.jpg
I send Jeigan out only to replace him with Adrian. I am such a kooky fellow.

http://i45.tinypic.com/huliqh.jpg
Finally, this one is actually smart!

http://i50.tinypic.com/1zt2et.jpg
I can't complain since Poison Sting is the only attack Weedle has.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z71sg4.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/amqixg.jpg
Yeah, Adrian can outlast this guy.

http://i48.tinypic.com/10xva6d.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2r5s4kj.jpg
I don't see the difference between Tackle and Scratch. Still, I suppose it's more accurate.

http://i50.tinypic.com/vqirrp.jpg
The inevitable conclusion.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2m85t0n.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/11lk22v.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2rr2fyb.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/28uh1mo.jpg
Alright, this could prove to be a fair match between his and my cocoon Pokemon.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2dj8e1k.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/162abn6.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/2lvyb7b.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/347bq8h.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/29y5a45.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/29nb77t.jpg
I am suddenly reminded of that episode where two trainers both use Metapod and the battle never gets anywhere because the two Metapods are only trying to out-Harden the other.

http://i46.tinypic.com/15fhxft.jpg
Jeigan actually has an attack so that makes him infinitely better than that Kakuna.

http://i45.tinypic.com/104nv9u.jpg
For beating a sitting target, Jeigan is awarded with more experience. Game logic, I guess.

http://i47.tinypic.com/27wsrgj.jpg
Alright, four more levels left!

http://i48.tinypic.com/2s16m9f.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/24e40ev.jpg
Okay what. I just beat a Weedle with no effort.

http://i45.tinypic.com/14jvokl.jpg
You know, having two of the same Pokemon isn't very smart.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2csjdjd.jpg

Especially since I'll just use the same tactics to beat you again.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2u3z68x.jpg
You see? Not very smart.

http://i49.tinypic.com/33ekkqp.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/fdu35f.jpg
Same opponent, same tactics, same experience.

http://i48.tinypic.com/1zz13s4.jpg
Gofur must be very proud to be beating up other kids like a bully.

http://i47.tinypic.com/4g69fs.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/23kreba.jpg
What, you just noticed now?

http://i47.tinypic.com/24cw02d.jpg
Two Weedles and a Kakuna is worth 10 Pokemon Dollars more than a Weedle and a Caterpie. Do the math. I can't.

http://i47.tinypic.com/15yvo29.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/28w1jk7.jpg
No, you just need to train your Weedles and Kakuna until they... okay, yeah, maybe you should catch some better Pokemon. I think Johto has some Heracross if you like a fighter.

http://i49.tinypic.com/4dg1u.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/6s5ow7.jpg
The hell I will! Unless Oak has any sort of useful reward for doing so, I'm not going to waste my time on that!

http://i50.tinypic.com/adyhzl.jpg
Oh hey, another Poke Ball!

http://i48.tinypic.com/6yyssp.jpg
Wait, antidotes are shaped like Poke Balls now?

http://i46.tinypic.com/vpxh1t.jpg
Unavoidable patches of tall grass. Terrific.

http://i49.tinypic.com/14uxusn.jpg
Still, gotta get more EXP.

http://i50.tinypic.com/dmedrs.jpg
The exit must be somewhere close.

http://i45.tinypic.com/1zzp8pj.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/5e7a0l.jpg
This is not a maze. This is just a giant winding path meant to waste my time.

http://i45.tinypic.com/qnlfya.jpg
Guess what that ball-shaped thing is, win a prize!

http://i46.tinypic.com/ixf8mp.jpg
Your prize is a Potion!

http://i49.tinypic.com/24y7i0z.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2inbwl.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2rho4ec.jpg
Yeah, the game makes it clear that stealing other trainers' Pokemon is a very bad thing to do. Good thing none of the protagonists in the series would ever do such a thing, right?

http://i48.tinypic.com/2a8qqn5.jpg
And we have another forced battle. Great.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ok4leo.jpg
I was TALKING to YOU, moron.

http://i50.tinypic.com/15mcluc.jpg
Thankfully, we only have one Pokemon to fight.

http://i49.tinypic.com/24g97yf.jpg
And it's another Weedle.

http://i50.tinypic.com/10giwkx.jpg
Y'know, normally at this point that Weedle should've evolved into Kakuna, giving it all the stats of one but with the moveset of Weedle, and therefore... oh why am I saying this he's not even listening.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2mx4q36.jpg
It is at this point that I remember Bard needs to get some levels too.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Yeah, it's about time you finally figured that out.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/28ahyzq.jpg<...who are you talking to?>

I mean I gotta whip my tail around while looking in the other direction in the hopes that the embers will be thrown in the direction of the enemy... also I'm pretty sure this could easily turn into a local disaster if even one of these trees catches fire.>

http://i45.tinypic.com/b4yq6v.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/ojouj9.jpg<Oh well, all for the sake of winning, right?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Damn right we are! Also, there's a big difference between "losing to a really good player" and "just plain sucks at this.">

http://i49.tinypic.com/hte9ok.jpg
Okay, so one level 9 Weedle gives us 20 dollars more than the last guy? Seriously, WHAT.
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Errgh, don't question it, it's video game logic, move along.>

http://i47.tinypic.com/2em22yq.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2cpuis6.jpg
I know, it's in plain sight and nobody but the player seems to be wanting to pick it up.

http://i46.tinypic.com/fu3o85.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/20prnee.jpg
That's nice. Also, if you're looking for a Poke Ball, an Antidote, and a Potion, I think that other guy back there may have something to do with it.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2vvta8z.jpg
Well I'm going back to recharge my Pokemons' PP before taking on the next part of the gauntlet.

Oh hey, a patch of grass. Maybe there's some new Pokemon here!

http://i50.tinypic.com/16a5d6x.jpg
Or not.

http://i49.tinypic.com/21f0gf8.jpg
Alright, here's the next town. You can tell because the palette has changed.

http://i49.tinypic.com/15hzwqa.jpg
First we'll need to recharge PP again.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2gv6fra.jpg
Oh hey, a Pokemon is here.

http://i49.tinypic.com/6gvbkh.jpg
And it sings a song while doing a dance if you talk to it.

Alright, this is the point where I go on a leveling spree, which I'm sure you won't bother to read through in its entirety since that would take too long, so I'm going to skip it and give you the highlights.

So finally I've levelled up all of these suckers and Jeigan finally learned Confusion, which is important, because it's a Psychic move, and Psychics are very broken in this game. We'll need it to take on the first gym.

Which we'll do in the next update!

http://i50.tinypic.com/53ssvt.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Also, good Arceus, my next naturally-learned fire move is 24 levels away.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Adrian didn't get to say much today, so Adrian will make up for it by saying it now! One time, Adrian was on a tree branch because Adrian thought there was something interesting in it when the branch broke! Adrian fell off the tree, but onii-sama was there to protect Adrian! Onii-sama ran to where Adrian would fall so that Adrian landed on top of onii-sama and it made Adrian even more grateful that Adrian has an onii-sama who will protect Adrian for as long as life on this world exists. Adrian said "I love you, onii-sama" and kissed onii-sama on the cheek to show her gratitude and then->

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Alright, stop, stop, STOP! Enough! I'm sorry but I just can't have you giving the others ideas of an... -intense- brother-sister relationship.>

Sorry people, no update for today because of work I need to do, so instead here's a new filler featurette:

ASK ARCEUS!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hey guys! This is a new featurette where you get to send in your questions and Arceus will try his best to answer him. Obviously, seeing as how he's, y'know, GOD, this should be easy for him, right? Anyway, for our very first episode, I'm going to be asking him a few questions myself. So, without further adieu...>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYeah, yeah, I don't need any grand introduction. Also, just so's we get this out of the way, I'm perfectly fine with you referring to me as a male even though I have no gender. Anyway, let's cut to the chase. What kinda questions you got for me?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So, um, you're technically God of the entire Pokemon universe, right? But before you existed, there was absolutely nothing. How did you come into being?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngFirst of all, I didn't really create the universe in the first place. All those tales of me being the first Pokemon, and pretty much the first anything to exist, was all lies that I created myself just to throw you guys off.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, so... something else created you?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell of course. But let's back up a bit here, back to how the universe began. See, there existed a race of super-advanced aliens from another universe who liked to mess around with anything they could get their hands on while not worrying about the consequences until it was too late, because they were having too much fun for their own good. One day, a group of these guys decided that they would create an entire universe full of creatures that fought each other for no apparent reason. Why? Who knows. Personally I think that these aliens simply liked to watch action movies and creating a universe just for that purpose would ensure that there would be no shortage of violent entertainment.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hold on. This is just a metaphor for the humans that created the Pokemon franchise, right?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngDammit you just had to ruin the mystique of my story. Oh well, I'm going to continue anyway. So, those aliens created your universe and injected an explosion into it, creating space and matter from nothing that eventually coagulated into a single star and a planet that revolved around it. Then, the aliens created life on that planet, bringing forth plants, humans, and of course, Pokemon, of which there were around 150 different species at the time.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So, that would be the first generation of Pokemon, right?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngDuh. Also, it should be noted that your universe didn't work as properly as it does now. For instance, some humans found out that they could summon Pokemon out of thin air by using extremely complicated movements to manipulate the everpresent magic of the universe. Most of the time, what they got was an abomination of reality that was capable of removing them from existence.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, what? Magic?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell of course. How else would you explain the blatant violations of the laws of science that you Pokemon commit on a regular basis, such as making grass grow in steel? Or causing a hailstorm inside a building? Or even allowing allowing the union of a Skitty and a Wailord to be capable of producing offspring?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well... that's not really->

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngBut I digress. Anyway, the aliens also realized that the universe they created was not quite right, so they worked it over for a bit while also adding new species of Pokemon just to keep things fresh. They also finally made the planet spin. We know how that worked out, right?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngIt still wasn't enough for the aliens, though. They reshaped the universe again, but this time they created three special Pokemon to remodel the entire planet for them. When that was done, they added a few more new species of Pokemon to the mix, tweaked the existing ones a bit, expanded the universe's color spectrum, and then called it a day. They also forgot to make the planet spin again. I suspect they were just being lazy.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<They must have. How else would you explain the reduced amount of content from the last generation? I mean, we had two whole regions to explore in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, for crying out loud!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell, you know, this is a race known for not giving a crap about quality or consequences as long as they're having fun. So anyway, when they decided they wanted to revamp your universe again, they did something different. They completely wiped your universe clean, then they created me and told me that I was to recreate the universe according to their specifications. Also they gave me a crapload of "strange energy," as they called it, to work with. This will take a long time for me to explain, do you mind?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Sure, go ahead.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngSo, using the strange energy I first created three helpers--Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina--to help me create what those slackers already created in the first place, because even with my power it still takes a long time for me to make everything by myself. Things were going fine until Giratina started being a jerk and blew up a bunch of matter that Palkia was going to mold into your planet. I told Dialga to fix the mess while I sent that moody prick Giratina to another dimension. After creating the stars, the planets, and all the other heavenly bodies, I created the Pokemon incarnations of the three aspects of sentience, modeled after my own, to give sentience to all humans and Pokemon on the planet. Also, Dialga and Palkia left on their own for some reason (I asked and they wouldn't tell me). The rest is as you know in legend: Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf go into the lake caves at where Sinnoh would eventually be, Groundon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are recreated spontaneously in their respective domains, Groundy-boy and Kyo shape the world a bit before meeting each other and cause such a ruckus that Rayquaza gets angry and tells them to knock it off (saving me the hassle), Mew gets busy, Regigigas moves stuff around, and I go on permanent vacation because frankly I'm very tired and I can't be arsed to care about what happens to that universe anymore. Whew.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So, that whole legend about you coming into existence by yourself... was all a lie?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngThat's right. A lie I created.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<How did you do it?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell, once the first humans were created, I telepathically contacted them, told them the "truth" and asked them to spread it and the rest is history.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I've heard rumors that the universe will be changing again soon. Is this true?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngOh yeah, they're never satisfied. They've laid out new plans for your universe already. I suspect they'll retire my status as established god of the universe and get some other random loser to replace me. I don't mind; I've been getting enough flak as it is, what with all those humans trying to figure out some way to put me in a Poke ball and use me for their own devious purposes. They've already done that with all my other creations.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, haven't they already done that to you? And how is it that anyone can capture you, the frigging GOD of the universe, with a simple Poke ball?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngHey, just because I created the Pokemon incarnations of time, space, opposites, munchkins, drama, and Green Lantern, as well as recreating everything the precursors got rid of just for me to recreate, doesn't mean my power is infinite. That said, the reason we have all these humans running around with balls full of me is because I knew this crap would happen way before I started recreating the universe, so I made a whole bunch of carbon copies of myself for humans to find in the Hall of Origin that I also created myself before going on a holiday.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So that's why you can be beaten by your own creations.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngCorrect. Because it's not really me. Also, I used up all of the strange energy by that point, so I can't really do anything beyond pumping out more carbon copies and killing anybody I want to with my mind.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hang on. Who's to say that what you've been saying isn't another lie you made up?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYOU DARE QUESTION THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR? THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU LIFE AND SENTIENCE?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Ye-uhhh... uhh... no? Please don't kill me>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngHahahaha, I'm just messing around with you. It's so much fun.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<O...okay... Alright seriously, why are you such a jerk? I mean, shouldn't a god like you be benevolent and have infinite wisdom?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYes, but don't forget who brought me into existence.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...Am I right?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngI'm not giving you the answer.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So, what do you do now that your job is finished?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngOh, I play video games.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Video games.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYep. They're quite fun. I especially like the Dragon Quest Monsters series, it brings back a whole bunch of memories. Also, have you heard of Live A Live?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Sorta. Kinda.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYou should play it. Download an emulator, get the ROM and the translation patch and get all the endings. You will cry.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Alright, well, thanks for your time, I'm sure other people will have more questions for you later.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngNo problem. Oh, and by the way, you know about your friend right?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Who?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngThat Squirtle. You know. The one with that idiot.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oh, him. What about him?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngIt's crucially important that you must be the one to defeat him.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Why?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngThere are evil forces at work that have insinuated themselves in your world. I can't say for certain, but know this: you must be the one to defeat him, or else his soul will be forever lost.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<So, to save him, I have to kick his ass?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngThat's right.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Sounds fair. And ominous. But hold on, isn't this deviating from the original game's storyline quite a bit?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngHasn't it already?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Good point. Well anyway, guess this is it for now; the next update will be coming soon (I hope).>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYeah, I really like to see how high your blood pressure can get.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<You read it too?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngI read a lot of things.

Question: What is the hierarchy of pokemon? I know you listed them, but I haven't hardly heard of any of them. I pretty much stopped playing pokemon after the first generation, so mew, articuno, zapidos, moltress, and mewtwo are the only legendary pokemon I really know. And I don't know much about them either.

Holy crap. when they said that Pokemon get crazy, Pokemon gets bat-shit crazy.

Who's even the demographic for Pokemon? I was a kid around the original generation. I'm 19 now, and they're still making stuff up. So is it dedicated fans who have grown older now? or young kids who just weren't around for the earliest generations?

Both. Also these days I imagine that people like me who pick them up largely out of nostalgia make up a decent chunk too.

Hey kids! It's time for another episode of...

ASK ARCEUS!

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngAlright, alright, let's see what you humans have for me... Okay, first question.

Ask Arceus Qustion: What's Mewtwo like as a person(pokemon) and what's he/she/it doing now?
http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell, I'm not completely sure myself. See, I didn't create Mewtwo; humans did. Some humans decided that they wanted to create the most powerful Pokemon in existence and Mewtwo was the result. After that, it blew them up and went off to sulk somewhere. Shows what you get when you decide you want to commit crimes against nature. Anyway, a lot of people have different opinions on what Mewtwo is like. Some say that Mewtwo is a deranged psychopath who knows only death and destruction, others say that he (yes, I'm going along with the assumption that Mewtwo is male for convenience) is simply misunderstood and confused. However, I have my own thoughts on this. I think that Mewtwo knows just how much power he possesses, but is bothered by the possibility that there are others who are more powerful than he is. What I'm saying is that I think Mewtwo is the essence of every Pokemon trainer given form: one who strives to become the best and goes out of his/her way to defeat others as a show of superiority. As for what he's doing right now... Well, from what I know, he's waiting in that stupid cave near Cerulean, twiddling his thumbs or something. Maybe he's meditating. Who knows.

Question: What is the hierarchy of pokemon? I know you listed them, but I haven't hardly heard of any of them. I pretty much stopped playing pokemon after the first generation, so mew, articuno, zapidos, moltress, and mewtwo are the only legendary pokemon I really know. And I don't know much about them either.
http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWhen I started creating and recreating all the Pokemon in this universe, I didn't really have a set hierarchy in mind apart from "I'm at the top, everything else is at the bottom." However, I suppose I'll humor you and give you my idea of what the hierarchy is like right now: Me, followed by Dialga and Palkia, then the Lake Trio or whatever nickname you have for them, then Rayquaza, Groundon and Kyogre, then everything else except Giratina in whatever order you want it, then Giratina. Yeah I'm still angry at that prick, shut up.

Any Pokemon you wish you could just stamp out of existance?
http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngThat stupid spiky-eared Pichu. Oh wait, you mean a particular species? Well, I don't really hate any one species of Pokemon... except whatever species Giratina is. I'm still waiting for an apology from that asshole.

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWhat? That's it? Only three questions? Man, and I really worked myself up beforehand... Oh well, if you have any more questions, I'll answer them in the next episode, whenever that may be. Until then, enjoy watching stupid humans play games that have already been played to death a long time ago.

I laughed at the "statistics" pic. Well, Nikose, Token, GC's called you out. You're officially competing now.

Oh, it's on.

I'm loving how you took down Brock, by the way. I wish it had been that easy in Yellow.

To Arceus: Why is it such a pain to get Celebi, especially since it isn't even that good?

Oh, it's on.

I'm loving how you took down Brock, by the way. I wish it had been that easy in Yellow.

To Arceus: Why is it such a pain to get Celebi, especially since it isn't even that good?

I wouldn't say it isn't good... has a nice set of resistances... people in OU/Ubers LOVE him... course, you won't find it very often in standard play because you can't get a legit one that isn't Japanese, that's usually just in Shoddy Battle play.

And I'll be the first to agree, yeah, it's a pain to whup Brock without Mankey in Yellow. Super ghey that you don't get any of the Kanto starters until Cerulean.

Been a few days, GC. Just a friendly reminder that you have an LP to run.

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Hello, Bard-kun!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...uh... hello.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<What's the matter? Is there anything wrong?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<No, no, it's nothing... I just need to rest for a little while.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Are you sick? Did you catch a virus? Adrian can help! Adrian will make you feel better!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<No, please, keep away from me for now... it's not a virus... I just... I think I have some sort of chemical imbalance that's causing my emotions to act up...>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Whoa, whoa! We're friends here, and friends have to watch over each other, help each other out! You got a bug? Well we'll help you smash that bug!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<W-wha?!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Sorry, I didn't mean literally.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<Oh. Whew.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Look, guys, I... I know you're trying to help me and all, and I'm grateful, but... I just need a little alone time, okay? So just... leave me alone for a while.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Oh, okay, dude.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Adrian will keep you company then!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...what part of "alone" did you not understand?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/166hs1s.jpg
Alright, we're back in action! But first...

http://i49.tinypic.com/11jt4iu.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/29beomt.jpg
I think it's high time Comast took first position.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2rdymv7.jpg
Forced battles? Well they can't be harder than Brock can they?

http://i49.tinypic.com/10dbnft.jpg
The hell kind of question is that? Of course I looked at you! You think you're invisible or something?

http://i46.tinypic.com/63sob5.jpg
Oh look, she thinks she's a somebody.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2cqy3p4.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/aabxph.jpg
Oh, this won't end well.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2m29mop.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/25p5unt.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/t0475i.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/2vlp7ye.jpg<Elec-trigger!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/2n8ua35.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2w1s7yr.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/macqp4.jpg
Haha no.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2h6uicj.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/4kjp1j.jpg
Comast goes Raiden all over this Pidgey.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2dtnh3.jpg
NNNNnnnnnnngggghhhhhhhh!

http://i49.tinypic.com/2pr7bky.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/rw51c8.jpg
Oh yeah, additional effects help I guess.

http://i45.tinypic.com/5ovxjo.jpg
Ahahahaha you so unlucky.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2yvq684.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2cynp7d.jpg
That was pretty much overkill, but hey, it's Comast's only attack.

http://i50.tinypic.com/fo2nmc.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/29liqs9.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/346st5c.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/ax0eoj.jpg
Stop thinking that your life is a romance novel!

http://i48.tinypic.com/345g9cg.jpg
Also MONEY.

http://i45.tinypic.com/s1lsog.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/33njlw6.jpg
Oh you were just BEGGING to be looked at. Stop being a hypocrite. That's MY job!

http://i47.tinypic.com/hwmt81.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/10oio3p.jpg
Wait, who are you again?

http://i48.tinypic.com/nq1zqg.jpg
Come on, you people all look the same.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2j5j9u0.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/205fm9e.jpg
Oh well, I'll just beat up all your Pokemon then.

http://i50.tinypic.com/14dolqf.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2jg2u6e.jpg
Seriously why do you keep using this Pokemon.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2d9tn9d.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2cn732x.jpg
Ahahahahahah

http://i50.tinypic.com/dlnxp0.jpg
Hahahahahahahahahahah

http://i46.tinypic.com/118k8wi.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/30vp4b7.jpg
You people are just unlucky today.

http://i50.tinypic.com/xbhauc.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/whyuxx.jpg
I'm seriously not going to bother recording every single move in these battles because it's boring and we all know how this is going to end.

http://i45.tinypic.com/260zfdf.jpg
Yeah.

http://i46.tinypic.com/inbix5.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/23tq4h.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/20lb8l.jpg
Oh hey a level.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2yx4qqs.jpg<Woo-hoo! Awesome!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/2941czn.jpg
And again...

http://i48.tinypic.com/2eezxco.jpg
Pitiful.

http://i45.tinypic.com/rkovw8.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2ur8rqw.jpg
Look, I don't bother remembering who you are because you people are only good for getting in my way and forcing battles with me.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2epkbnt.jpg
And also giving me your MONEY.

http://i50.tinypic.com/21brr7r.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2lm6x5i.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/2uyiqmr.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/6fsiaa.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zwcpax.jpg
...Wait what?

http://i46.tinypic.com/6fsiaa.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zwcpax.jpg
Seriously, what?

http://i46.tinypic.com/6fsiaa.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zwcpax.jpg
This is how you greet every person you meet?

http://i46.tinypic.com/6fsiaa.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zwcpax.jpg
You are a sad, sad little boy.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qtdc3t.jpg
And now we have to beat you up.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2b5fyx.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/qyfx92.jpg
Finally, a challenge!

http://i50.tinypic.com/atkq4h.jpg
This guy can actually do damage, so we'll just use status effects to cut down his mobility.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2wgho90.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/vgw11.jpg
100% paralyze is pretty good for an entry-level move.

http://i46.tinypic.com/5a49op.jpg
Seriously I can't tell you how useful this can be in crucial battles.

http://i49.tinypic.com/1r7lo9.jpg
While that Rattata's busy doing useless things like tail whip and suffering from paralysis...

http://i47.tinypic.com/25koq39.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/ojgxg6.jpg
Comast simply tazes him to death.

http://i50.tinypic.com/mr4ks3.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/330z3ah.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/vxnrde.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/14mrh4k.jpg
Oh hey, this is a new one.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2i6ytqw.jpg
Who thought of that name for this Pokemon? An eight-year old?

http://i49.tinypic.com/2pt2jw4.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/6nw5sx.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/20jmrtj.jpg
Sadly, this guy falls for the same tactics as last time.

http://i49.tinypic.com/mws8b7.jpg
Just as before, it takes two hits to down this guy.

http://i50.tinypic.com/8zlbvr.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/sesxsm.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2mwxf74.jpg
Well, at least we get something out of these pointless fights.

http://i48.tinypic.com/dcy0wj.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/9absxd.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/530bo5.jpg
http://i48.tinypic.com/901ylg.jpg
http://i45.tinypic.com/1zokjfk.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/26sjm.jpg
As always, Gofur takes his extortion money.

http://i49.tinypic.com/w0lrud.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/iepikp.jpg
I'm sorry, why did I want you to talk to me again? Oh wait, I DIDN'T.

http://i49.tinypic.com/28aj33q.jpg
Okay, seriously, this game just throws a lot of these forced battles at you. These guys aren't even bosses! They're just like normal random encounters, except not random, and you can't run away from them. There is no way you can simply speed through the game without having to fight the majority of these guys. Other RPGs only have a few crucial battles, usually in the form of bosses, and they actually make an effort to be challenging and awesome. But this crap right here? This is an absolute waste of time. These guys aren't worth the PP I spend to take out each and every one of their Pokemon.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2hquhiq.jpg
I mean, if only the game's programmers simply weeded out all of the copy-and-pasted forced battles and replaced them with a few challenging fights maybe this would be more enjoyable to watch.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2n0uf50.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zxa7bl.jpg
Oh well, maybe I'm just overanalyzing this thing too much. After all, nobody plays Pokemon for the main quest, right?

http://i49.tinypic.com/11tq3rt.jpg
Except us Let's Players. We have to do the main quest because it's our obligation to play games as they're supposedly played by the average gamer.

http://i47.tinypic.com/k1z483.jpg
And then we have to submit a record of our playthough for you guys to see, and then we have to comment on it so that you know how we felt when we play these games...
http://i50.tinypic.com/2yx4qqs.jpg<Um, ow?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/mufk40.jpg
I guess a game like Pokemon is easier to do a Let's Play of because it's less interesting when you watch a playthough of it on video, so we pretty much have to post screenshots of it and thus skip the whole screen recording software we would need to create videos of our playthough.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2yx4qqs.jpg<Oh, man, I hope I don't get an infection or anything... ouch.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2lo6n1x.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2uzwfpy.jpg
Ah well, I guess it doesn't matter. So let's get back to the game.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2yx4qqs.jpg<Ah, is it swelling? I think it is swelling. Am I allergic to this stuff or what?>

http://i47.tinypic.com/1gst9w.jpg
Boring.

http://i49.tinypic.com/28v4yma.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/2dhi6us.jpg
No.

http://i46.tinypic.com/a5f4hx.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/2m2f593.jpg
Yawn.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2yx4qqs.jpg<Ah, it's itchy. I think I am allergic.>

http://i47.tinypic.com/9uvz3p.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/10hk4d2.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/xn9c9f.jpg
Seriously? Stop catching bugs. Go raise dragons!

http://i47.tinypic.com/29kti1k.jpg
We take his money because he's a moron.

http://i47.tinypic.com/jryzyx.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/10wqk9h.jpg
That's nice. Go talk to Mr. I-Like-Shorts over there.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2znrbwz.jpg
Meanwhile, let's restock on PP for the next few battles.

http://i50.tinypic.com/1444gtu.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/15i29gz.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/10gbd44.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/23tp66q.jpg
Another Rattata.

http://i50.tinypic.com/212iphe.jpg
Thunder Wave and kill.

http://i46.tinypic.com/a3381h.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2qc32gy.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2ant47.jpg
Nidoran!? WAIT WAIT WAIT

http://i48.tinypic.com/2dj0ubq.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/346oubs.jpg
THIS SHALL BE AN EPIC BATTLE
http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i46.tinypic.com/110a984.jpg
FIGHT, SHEPARD! PROVE YOUR SUPERIORITY OVER THIS OFFENDING MALE AND SHOW THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPAWN OFFSPRING!

http://i45.tinypic.com/2qleiqs.jpg
A GOOD HIT

http://i49.tinypic.com/scdhqa.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/ettfme.jpg
THIS MALE IS OBVIOUSLY ALL BARK AND NO BITE

http://i45.tinypic.com/140ak5c.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2nw1ngi.jpg
SHOW HIM THE FOLLY OF HIS FEEBLE DEFIANCE

http://i49.tinypic.com/9jn8f6.jpg
VICTORY

http://i46.tinypic.com/16blbur.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/2cfcoiw.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/34fgy8p.jpg
SHEPARD HAS TRIUMPHED OVER YOUR NIDORAN. YOU ARE AN INFERIOR TRAINER. GO HOME AND CRY KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A NIDORAN AS GOOD AS SHEPARD.
http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i48.tinypic.com/hwiixh.jpg
THIS MONEY WILL BE USED TO AID THE CAUSE OF SHEPARD

http://i47.tinypic.com/2dl563c.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/25isoq1.jpg
You serious? There's no way I can avoid all these people because they are constantly looking in such a way that I can't go any further without crossing their line of sight!

http://i49.tinypic.com/2q0soee.jpg
And just because I can, I'm going to fight this jerk!

http://i46.tinypic.com/rwuvqv.jpg
One Pokemon? You DESERVE to be beaten.

http://i49.tinypic.com/aax6y1.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/eknxtz.jpg
Bah, it's nothing we can't handle.

http://i47.tinypic.com/1z2o96r.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2ykh0cg.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2qalcec.jpg
Especially since INSTA-PARALYZE

http://i47.tinypic.com/2e66lo2.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/16hw1as.jpg
Wahahaha you suck.

http://i50.tinypic.com/hwblgm.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/x2qxa8.jpg
This is just too easy.

http://i45.tinypic.com/30cy33t.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/148enmw.jpg
Stop stalling and use an actual attack!

http://i46.tinypic.com/x5shmh.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/5b5gs1.jpg
Geez, you suck.

http://i48.tinypic.com/352gh77.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/o51hn5.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/2eej4bb.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2vamkpu.jpg
That sounds like a new song I could sing about you guys.

http://i48.tinypic.com/mr2qly.jpg
Gofur is still the biggest bully around.

http://i47.tinypic.com/iycyle.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/vq1y0y.jpg
Wait, seriously? Don't you freaking freeze to death if you're caught without so much as even a ski jacket and pants in winter? Or do you fly south like all those birds do?

http://i50.tinypic.com/s3g941.jpg
Really? Well then you can fight my older and more experienced Pokemon!

http://i46.tinypic.com/sb5u2a.jpg
Oh not this crap again.

http://i46.tinypic.com/rhq4o5.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/alm8vr.jpg
This isn't new. This is the same crap I've seen before.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2eojyv8.jpg
And they all die the same.

http://i49.tinypic.com/14ilyfc.jpg
Nope, sorry kid.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2rmsgsy.jpg
They're not new enough.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2vl8sp5.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2mxeclf.jpg
Level. Bah.

http://i50.tinypic.com/1zvflsh.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/10sbw9z.jpg
The crap does that mean? Speak proper English!

http://i50.tinypic.com/bgzlz6.jpg
Also pay up.

http://i50.tinypic.com/6ylkrp.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2jfyt1l.jpg
Thanks, Captain Obvious II!

http://i46.tinypic.com/2qiwmxx.jpg
Well I go over a patch of grass and I saw a PINK.

http://i48.tinypic.com/9un6sl.jpg
PINK.

http://i49.tinypic.com/m9oz2e.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/13znz84.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2z5lj0x.jpg
PINK.

http://i47.tinypic.com/24mb91f.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/noy8gw.jpg
PINK.

http://i50.tinypic.com/16byfs5.jpg
Welp, gonna catch it because it's there.

http://i45.tinypic.com/s6pz49.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/33vdqqc.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/anmx4i.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/347bn0l.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/241tj44.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/nnk3zq.jpg
When you already have 6 Pokemon with you, this happens.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2wn4kno.jpg
No, and I hate you for attempting to play the "feign victim" card.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2upy62t.jpg
You're just asking for it aren't you.

http://i49.tinypic.com/k9uafc.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/nmf0bs.jpg
Meh.

http://i45.tinypic.com/mk95rr.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/5cj96c.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/eupt8m.jpg
Same old tactics.

http://i47.tinypic.com/16ktmcg.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/msdonp.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/vy48sn.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2m2sxo7.jpg
Oh wait, this is new. Disable prevents a random move from being used for a few turns. But since it can miss, it's not really a good move to use most of the time.

http://i50.tinypic.com/w2em2v.jpg
Jigglypuff is more resistant than the last few Pokemon we fought so this can take a while.

http://i49.tinypic.com/27y692t.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/jgiro4.jpg
Sing induces sleep. It can miss.

http://i48.tinypic.com/5mhjev.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/3507vpe.jpg
Almost...

http://i50.tinypic.com/315jxhz.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/160rmrs.jpg
Sing sucks, use Hypnosis instead.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2n3q54.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/xo4opt.jpg
Finally.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ndseac.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/15n17h5.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/bite9.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2wg9oxu.jpg

http://i46.tinypic.com/kd0epf.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2j3qsmt.jpg
Gofur robs her of her money and nobody else bothers to care. I think these people would be more concerned about Gofur than Team Rocket if they had a quarter of a brain.

http://i45.tinypic.com/352ksnr.jpg
And MT. MOON is where we have to go isn't it?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2hfo03m.jpg
Hmm hmm

http://i50.tinypic.com/1495j5i.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/12516z5.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/2zscfu1.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/ohiqo1.jpg
Uh, so there's no way around it? You can't just walk over MT. MOON? Or around it?

http://i47.tinypic.com/wh0h8p.jpg
Well, if the game says we have to go there...

http://i48.tinypic.com/et5fg7.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/i4q0qt.jpg
What? Why you calling people Geodude? Gofur doesn't look anything like a rock!

http://i49.tinypic.com/28lf6g.jpg
Looks like this is where we're headed.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2ch6el5.jpg
BUT FIRST!

http://i48.tinypic.com/2cxdz5u.jpg
How convenient that a Pokemon Center is next to the entrance of MT. MOON. Totally doesn't imply that it'll be frustrating as hell!

http://i50.tinypic.com/2pyq8wm.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/547zag.jpg

Hmm, this offer is pretty good... We could get a Magikarp early for 500, but I could save the cash and wait until I get an OLD ROD so I can catch my own Magikarp.
Whatever shall I do?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well, I guess I can use the internet and check up on things (http://twitter.com/firelizard456) while I'm still on the sidelines.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Why are you here?>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Adrian wanted to keep you company!>

Buy it, and POWERLEVEL it. By the time you get the Old Rod, you're in Vermilion City, and most people get the Squirtle there for their Water type.

By the time you get the Old Rod, you're in Vermilion City, and most people get the Squirtle there for their Water type.I think you're thinking about Yellow where you start out with Pikachu and then the game just hands you the three starters throughout the course f the game. This is Blue and he picked Charmander. The only way he's getting Squirtle now is by trading for it.

Ugh, this is what I get for posting at six in the morning. Seeing Camost, I got confused... :sweatdrop

Kick the guy in the junk and leave.

Go and get fossal. Preferably the dome one.

Nah, don't kick him. Buy his Magikarp. Use said magikarp to humiliate your opponents. Instant hilarity.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hey guys, everything okay while I wasn't around?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Hey hey, look who came back!>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Bard-kun! You're back! Adrian missed having you with us!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Yeah, well... I'm better now. Jeez, that felt like it took a week longer than it should... Okay! So, it looks like we're going into Mt. Moon next.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Mt. Moon?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<What's Mt. Moon?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Never been there, bud. What's it like?>

http://i42.tinypic.com/2qvb5ud.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well, first of all, every last inch of that place is what I like to call "unsafe.">

http://i39.tinypic.com/23hr6zp.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Also, we're going into a cave.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Oh.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Hmm.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<Eep.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/20rpj5j.jpg...

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I've come up with a plan on how to survive this godforsaken dungeon.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/2lm2sea.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Basically, all we need to do is take the quickest and shortest path to the exit. That way we can get through this in one try and none of us will be worn out halfway through.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Wow... that's brilliant, dude!>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Adrian thinks this is a good plan! Because Adrian understands it!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Yes, this would be the best way to conquer this hellhole.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<Uh, I'm sorry?>

http://i40.tinypic.com/wrmm37.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Unfortunately, knowing Grea-I mean Gofur, he'll probably take the most roundabout path through every goddamn obstacle just for the sake of scavenging every lost valuable he can find.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/bg2o0l.jpg<Ah.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg<Oh boy.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Well, so what if we stay there a little longer? We'll get through it just fine, right buddy?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hahaha... I can only hope.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/6zq7vp.jpg
Well, by popular demand, I bought that Magikarp. Also, I gave it a name.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2ilms88.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/34gobpt.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/65suax.jpg
Oh yeah, I forgot to store one of my Pok�mon first.

http://i41.tinypic.com/n15usj.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/nyzrxt.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/14tvpq8.jpg
Alright, let's pull out that Magikarp. We'll need to train it early if we're going to use it at all.

http://i44.tinypic.com/1238qcw.jpg
I store this guy and exchange him for Five.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Hey, welcome to the team!>

http://i42.tinypic.com/25tgis1.jpg<Yeah, sure. Big whoop.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/2z5rexj.jpg
Your loss.

http://i43.tinypic.com/1557053.jpg
The only way Five is going to get experience is to change the order so that Five is always the first one out.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2556h6b.jpg
Alright, I think we're ready for Mt. Moon!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod>

Alright, now let's just find ourselves some-

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWhat? You need something?

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Um... no?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngOh. Okay then.

http://i39.tinypic.com/zirv2s.jpg
Well let's just switch to Comast. Electricity will handle this flying demon like a-

And of course, this guy goes directly into storage. Well, I plan to use that critter, so we're heading back.

http://i42.tinypic.com/70x1du.jpg
Probably won't need him anymore.

http://i48.tinypic.com/awc8x0.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/zl6a2r.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/214v4td.jpg
So now we've got our very own Zubat to fight other Zubats with. Or just be annoying.

http://i43.tinypic.com/jt8b29.jpg
And now it's back into the cave to find-

http://i42.tinypic.com/hsw8zq.jpg
Oh. Well, we can catch all the Pok�mon here first.

http://i39.tinypic.com/k36v89.jpg
Five is useless in battle.

http://i42.tinypic.com/10gjuop.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/6ye7ag.jpg
Bard has a very huge advantage over Paras, but will it be enough?

http://i40.tinypic.com/2wmfgw7.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2rejsyq.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Ow dammit.>

http://i44.tinypic.com/axbn6f.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, oops.>

Okay, so maybe that was overdoing it a bit.

http://i40.tinypic.com/198mrn.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2nu61jt.jpg
Still, there's EXP.

http://i42.tinypic.com/98rmoo.jpg
Alright! This guy can be useful! (Not really)

Like last time, this Geodude doesn't have anything that can seriously hurt Bard. So we just use Ember to bring that health down.

http://i42.tinypic.com/vi380p.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/16m1we9.jpg
And there we go! That was easy.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<The crap do you mean, "easy"? I had to take all those hits y'know. And they hurt! Seriously, OW!>

http://i44.tinypic.com/29yjb6g.jpg
So, back to Pewter it is.

http://i43.tinypic.com/jt8b29.jpg
And then we head back into the darkness.

http://i42.tinypic.com/hsw8zq.jpg

Here is where I decide that I need to MAN UP the entire team. So, I do so. Here are the highlights.

http://i39.tinypic.com/6o0hm9.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/nnnpf5.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2roovg8.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Oooh... Adrian feels... stronger.>

http://i44.tinypic.com/1t9e9e.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/10qcs9w.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/9ifzsw.jpg
FINALLY got that sucker I've been meaning to get since the intro!

http://i43.tinypic.com/15q4uf6.jpg...

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Onii-sama! You have become stronger like Adrian! How wonderful!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...Ehhhhhh. Not going near that conversation.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/2i8aalu.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/xpbmrm.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wh... whoa....>

http://i43.tinypic.com/npgo5y.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<No. No, no, no. Not yet, anyway.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/25tgis1.jpg<Oh, you pansy.>

http://i39.tinypic.com/2d8q245.jpg
Good god, Magikarp takes too long to evolve. Also, am I overdoing the leveling a bit? Well anyway, everyone except Bard learns some new moves.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Hey, check out my new skills! I can hit stuff really fast now!>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Onii-sama and Adrian learned how to do acupuncture! For real this time!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Adrian, what you learned is not acupuncture. It's an assassination technique.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Aww, Adrian really really wants to learn how to do acupuncture.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/25tgis1.jpg<Hey, you know what'd be really funny? If actual acupuncture carried the risk of causing serious injury, much like how poison needles carry the risk of poisoning someone! OH WAIT.>

Comast learned Quick Attack, Adrian and Shepard learned Poison Sting, Rucadal got Supersonic and Bite, and Five learned Tackle, which means Five can now take on enemies by himself. This will be marginally useful later.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Dammit, just three more levels until I learn a new move.>

http://i39.tinypic.com/2hevrpf.jpg
So anyway, back in the cave, we find this mystery item shaped like a Pok� Ball. Who here thinks it's a Pok� Ball?

http://i40.tinypic.com/167tftf.jpg
Well, it's not. It's a TM that teaches Water Gun.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2d7u3df.jpg
HOLY CRAP we come across a Clefairy.

http://i43.tinypic.com/bhj2ue.jpg
Well, since Five now has an actual attack, he can take on this one by himself now.

http://i42.tinypic.com/ae5ys4.jpg
That didn't take too long.

http://i41.tinypic.com/n2ijwm.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/25p67q0.jpg
Alright then.

http://i44.tinypic.com/11liyo2.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/24zc70z.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/rhlag9.jpg
Clefairy is a lot like Jigglypuff, only less wussy. What it lacks in HP compared to Jigglypuff it makes up for in overall stats.

http://i40.tinypic.com/23tmqe0.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/mni44.jpg
I'm still not going to use them. For this segment at least.

http://i42.tinypic.com/apix06.jpg
Back to the Pok�mon Center to refresh everyone's PP.

http://i39.tinypic.com/a2rh4l.jpg
Now, back to treasure hunting!

http://i40.tinypic.com/n5spz8.jpg
The treasure here is only borderline valuable.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2f07qx5.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/14dgdjs.jpg
Gofur is totally not suspicious when he goes around catching every species of Pok�mon he can find, looting every valuable people may or may not have dropped, and getting into fights for prize money, right?

http://i44.tinypic.com/5mh643.jpg
Oh not these jokers again.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2mw7a6x.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/25s4s3l.jpg
SERIOUSLY. This guy should have been a Beedrill by now.

http://i42.tinypic.com/hum5vs.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/dca8eq.jpg
Instead, he still only has Poison Sting and String Shot. And his stats are all sub-par. Also, poor EXP.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2dw68nm.jpg
You really don't have a clue, do you.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2h3x6bq.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/xcrxj6.jpg
Complete failure.

Dur, half damage.

http://i42.tinypic.com/xpmooo.jpg

To me, imprints of dead creatures make great bargaining chips. I know this because I've seen people mine for fossils underground and then trade with one another for a different set of fossils.

Oh look, a ladder going down. Where does it lead to?

http://i42.tinypic.com/1430v4l.jpg
A path to another ladder going down!

http://i40.tinypic.com/24zlyit.jpg
And now we're in another area!

http://i40.tinypic.com/11lj75w.jpg
Wow, I bet this Pok� Ball-looking thing must be incredibly important!

http://i42.tinypic.com/5wb50l.jpg
Well, no. It's just an HP Up.
What does it do? Well, it increases the stat EXP/effort points (EV) for HP on any Pok�mon. We're going to save it until I figure out what I want to do with it (probably sell it for cash).

A quick lesson on EV:
You may remember that from Generation III onwards, each Pok�mon could only have a maximum of 255 effort points in each stat, and a total maximum of 510. At Level 100, the final value of each stat was its normal value without effort points, plus the effort points of that stat divided by 4, rounded down.
A Pok�mon gained effort points by participating in battles. Every Pok�mon gives 1-3 effort points in a certain stat upon defeat, depending on the Pok�mon.
The Macho Brace item and the rare Pok�rus condition increased EV growth by 100%; when combined, the EV growth multiplier was 4x. Other weighted restraints, such as the Power Anklet, were introduced in Gen IV, and they added 4 EV to a stat after each battle in addition to the EV gained from the enemy Pok�mon.
EV growth vitamins (a misnomer, since they're not actually vitamins at all), which includes HP Ups, increased the corresponding stat's EV by 10 each. They could not increase them over 100.
Some berries reduced EV from a certain stat in exchange for increasing happiness. They were useful for reallocating a Pok�mon's EV spread.

Well, this is not so in this game. Here, effort points are known as stat EXP, and they go up to 65535 for each stat. There is no global maximum. After every battle, the opponent Pok�mon's base stats get added to the participating Pok�mon's stat EXP.
Vitamins like HP Ups merely add 2560 to the corresponding stat EXP. They cannot increase them over 25600 in this game.
The exact formula for calculating the stat increase is a bit more complicated, but it can be found here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EV). In fact go check out their explanation of this subject; it's certainly a lot more comprehensive than this one.

http://i39.tinypic.com/30bfuoy.jpg
Okay, now where was I? Oh yeah, I was about to go back up to the first floor when... who the hell is this jerk that I completely missed while coming in.

A good rule of thumb is to always use the minimum necessary to defeat your opponent. That way, you won't waste your good attacks on weak opponents.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Argh, dammit dammit dammit DAMMIT! Goddamn sand under my eyelids!>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2niz23k.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/zirfhe.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2rpd9ah.jpg
You serious? We've been through this so many times and the outcome has always been the same.

http://i44.tinypic.com/14lf9g.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/14250ep.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/4snocy.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Hey dude, you alright?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<DAMMIT JUST GO>

http://i41.tinypic.com/23p569.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/xfqmvo.jpg
You see? Still the same outcome: I win.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Seriously the worst part is when it gets under your eyelids so you can't get it out without lacerating your own eye>

http://i39.tinypic.com/2cex3k.jpg
Oh what is this now.

http://i43.tinypic.com/29w9top.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/r0cl6h.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2413v5c.jpg
I have nothing to say.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2uqgil0.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/oz0js.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/qrirza.jpg
People are supposed to be afraid of you guys? How the hell did you ever get such an infamous reputation with your weak-ass tactics?

http://i44.tinypic.com/1z2jce9.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/15rxmxv.jpg
Yeah, serves you right for crossing my path.

http://i42.tinypic.com/apix06.jpg
Hmm hmm

http://i43.tinypic.com/iverg2.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2lwaqfd.jpg
Thank you for sharing your thoughts to nobody concerned.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2qwe9uh.jpg
Seriously, I don't have time for this. I just want to get through this torture chamber.

http://i42.tinypic.com/iyg1e0.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/ic1x5g.jpg
And here we have our Bulbasaur imitator: Same type, slightly different stats, different moveset.

http://i39.tinypic.com/fxe0lj.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/x29riu.jpg
Adrian is a better choice against this guy.

http://i39.tinypic.com/awampv.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/igdrps.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/167wmio.jpg
Get used to seeing this move from a lot of Grass Pok�mon we'll face.

http://i40.tinypic.com/8zkwg5.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/1z6dz6g.jpg
Scratch is always better than Tackle, so we use that.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2dt82ut.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2vi2icx.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/qmxc29.jpg
This low-power move is the only attack he's got. Pitiful.

http://i44.tinypic.com/ffb71y.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/2wfqmfl.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/x6c414.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2q8olth.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/9hlvdw.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/309u687.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/23mu5hd.jpg
So yeah.

http://i43.tinypic.com/29yowwj.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/k96g3n.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2epu0w9.jpg
Welp, time to act like a retard again.

http://i41.tinypic.com/4ih5op.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/o7q1hh.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/wi7x2w.jpg
Send out my useless underpowered fish!

http://i43.tinypic.com/9sbeyv.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2lu2o9k.jpg
Then send him back!

http://i42.tinypic.com/2eaj95l.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2d17m6t.jpg
This is an even more one-sided match than the last one. Bellsprout has less Defense than Oddish, and Grass is double-ineffective against Zubat.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2dvvm92.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/s6q2s7.jpg
Just for kicks, I try out Zubat's signature annoyance move.

http://i40.tinypic.com/s47x3m.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/iojci9.jpg
Ahahahaha, Bellsprout's high Attack makes confusion hurt more.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2m672mb.jpg
Bite is only slightly less powerful than Horn Attack. It still deals a lot of damage.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2ijnl12.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/149td6o.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/keeoea.jpg
That's useless and you'll see why.

http://i40.tinypic.com/a466d.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/xfq6qc.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/14tynb6.jpg
Rucadal is faster.

http://i41.tinypic.com/24eoqdi.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/27y0pxy.jpg
Lost what? Is it valuable?

http://i43.tinypic.com/eb80g1.jpg
Could it be your money? Because I'm taking it.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2qls74j.jpg
You find the exit, of course! What a waste of time.

http://i40.tinypic.com/x4401c.jpg
Oh wait, let's go the other way first to take every treasure that's back there.

http://i39.tinypic.com/modht.jpg
This thing instantly warps you outside the cave, back to where you came in. How a mere rope can do that is not explained.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2z4fzag.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/b4tfzd.jpg
Alright, Rare Candy! This increases a Pok�mon's level by one, no matter how much EXP is needed. I'm saving it for when my Pok�mon are at level 99 or something.
Unfortunately, Rare Candy in this game is indeed rare, unlike how the other generations have various limitless sources of Rare Candy (although you have to work really hard to get them). For example, Shuckle can process Berry Juice into Rare Candy if held long enough.

Thanks for the tip, Son of Captain Obvious MXXIV!

http://i43.tinypic.com/261dtlj.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2ur86ck.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/f27nsz.jpg
And then he fights us. What.

Bug Catchers really don't take the hint well, do they? This guy is so pitiful it's not even worth switching out Five for a stronger Pok�mon.

http://i43.tinypic.com/ivllzq.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2j3fajl.jpg
The EXP isn't even good.

http://i44.tinypic.com/5lnous.jpg
Ha ha ha

http://i42.tinypic.com/259erma.jpg
NO

Oh wow

http://i39.tinypic.com/e67fqf.jpg
You should know by now how it turns out.

http://i44.tinypic.com/do6hac.jpg
Pointless.

ALRIGHT! Now we're packing serious power!

http://i40.tinypic.com/2ezsb6b.jpg
That's good too, I guess.

More to come later, because this segment is getting WAY too long and you guys need a breather.

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngY'know, these HeartGold and SoulSilver games are quite interesting. Almost makes me want to reconsider my permanent vacation... Naaaaah.

I loved the "Oh crap" in Unown there. Nice touch. Also, I found the way Celebi and Nidorino are kinda just chillin' while everyone else FREAKS THE FUCK OUT pretty humorous.

Bard The 5th LW

03-14-2010, 08:10 PM

Very funny. I was waiting the entire time for the evolution of Five. Your laborious power leveling was worth it.

Flarecobra

03-14-2010, 09:52 PM

Watch as it turns out Five is quite a smart fellow, and quite well-mannored.

Give him a monicle for a bonus.

Ecks

03-15-2010, 06:03 PM

What Flare said.

Also, I love that Magikarp was a humongous prick to EVERYONE. I laughed so hard at that. Also, what you waiting for on Bard? Flamethrower?

...Things which you don't have, things which you do have, and things which you can't ever get all tremble at the arrival of a new Gyrados.

All is as it should be.

Great Cartoonist

03-16-2010, 10:33 AM

Alright, time for part 2! When last we left off...

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Wow, dude! You're like, super badass now!>

http://i44.tinypic.com/6dxoqx.jpg<Really. I was thinking that I should act in a more eloquent manner so as not to frighten away my companions.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<You serious?>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Uhh, Adrian did not understand what Five-san just said.>

http://i44.tinypic.com/6dxoqx.jpg<What I am saying is that I should be more polite and friendly towards others. Especially to my friends, such as you.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...What.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Yay! Five-san is a friend!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<That's super! So, how about we go and->

http://i42.tinypic.com/16ht0ro.jpg<AHAHAHAHA NO I'M NOT SERIOUS. I THINK IT'S MORE FUN TO WATCH YOU ALL TREMBLE BEFORE MY RAW UNADULTERATED MIGHT.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Yikes.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2i4w7p.jpg<WAAAAHHH! Five-san is being scary again!>

http://i43.tinypic.com/15q4uf6.jpg...

http://i41.tinypic.com/2ai0xp3.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2r42xrb.jpg
Bahahaha I already caught one.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2jcevwj.jpg
Well anyway, let's change the order again. Comast needs it more.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2eohes6.jpg
This person appears to be devoted to looking in that one direction.

http://i42.tinypic.com/15nxhe9.jpg
Gofur can now add "stalker" to his resume.

http://i43.tinypic.com/723pjn.jpg
The hell is this? This is just giving real life nerds a bad name.

http://i43.tinypic.com/vdo0i1.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/zoi93r.jpg
Okay, so we have ourselves an Electric vs. Electric fight. How do we win this one?

http://i39.tinypic.com/21mvolh.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2eov0cp.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/5xic88.jpg
Duh.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2cscbwh.jpg
That's it? Oh well, this fight shouldn't take long then.

http://i42.tinypic.com/14nk5lk.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2nki7v7.jpg
Yep, just another one of those fights where both combatants trade blows to see who falls first.

http://i43.tinypic.com/il93b9.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/pyb8m.jpg
That was entirely unnecessary.

http://i41.tinypic.com/ouo5s1.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2u60dx5.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/dcv3hi.jpg
This one can't blow up on us. We're good.

http://i42.tinypic.com/jtufyg.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/dbm1g.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/r2kwpj.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2je4k93.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2dvssgi.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2qb9c2u.jpg
Am I wasting your time with this?

http://i40.tinypic.com/hs6ik2.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2ev6r00.jpg
Well, I'd like to skip through this too, but this is a Let's Play and it's my obligation to do this for the sake of you people.

http://i44.tinypic.com/nxonc9.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2rny0eg.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/4sfhht.jpg
Gofur takes his money like the bully he is.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2elaxhz.jpg
Well, good luck with that. Meanwhile I'll just take whatever's in that corner there and leave.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2nu22rc.jpg
Dammit, another Potion. I should probably sell these.

http://i43.tinypic.com/no8yhc.jpg
Welp, gonna get a free PP refill again.

http://i43.tinypic.com/23ti7tt.jpg
Now back to here...

http://i42.tinypic.com/1zgfbtk.jpg
We turn left and go around to find this ladder in our path.

http://i44.tinypic.com/160bxtv.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/9rh7wm.jpg
Which leads to another path with another ladder.

http://i39.tinypic.com/axbk85.jpg
Which leads to another prize and another incompetent Rocket minion.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2cxivk5.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/dyvsqr.jpg
No. How about you leave. And give me your money.

http://i42.tinypic.com/icr19w.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/icr19w.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2e3yj9e.jpg
This is clearly a no-brainer.

http://i40.tinypic.com/21265xi.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/nozjt3.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/xbxu76.jpg
It's not like we haven't been fighting these things before, right?

http://i43.tinypic.com/21o3ktt.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2rogufn.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2a8rr60.jpg
Hooray! Pikachus are still inferior to what we're going to get later on.

http://i40.tinypic.com/osz6l1.jpg
This guy again?

http://i41.tinypic.com/6hmipd.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/10y2udl.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/13zttdy.jpg
I don't know why I keep using Thunder Wave. Comast is already faster than this Ekans as it is.

http://i43.tinypic.com/240x21k.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2liwl0k.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/kcfewn.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/1z4y2c1.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/29uudet.jpg
Yes, but also, you suck.

http://i44.tinypic.com/ddlwco.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/izb0jt.jpg
Well, I was going to give one to you, but you had to be rude about it. So no.

http://i42.tinypic.com/f3tmhe.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/1z68adi.jpg
Now excuse me while I swipe this TM that teaches Mega Punch.

http://i42.tinypic.com/oap5r7.jpg
Oh hey, look, a totally-not-conspicuous-and-out-of-place rock!

http://i42.tinypic.com/2qb9nhd.jpg
Hahaha I laugh for no reason.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2kj3x1.jpg
Right, now back to the main path.

http://i40.tinypic.com/x6igx5.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/1fagwy.jpg
Gofur feels the need to beat up another kid for his money again. This being the crazy world it is, it's totally okay with everyone. Also, I think it's addictive.

http://i41.tinypic.com/b5h8ur.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/25u41vl.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/16ad7jo.jpg
Yawn

Meh. I've got nothing.

http://i43.tinypic.com/w1xtee.jpg
Yeah.

http://i40.tinypic.com/f24lzo.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/5d5gs2.jpg
There's really nothing to say about this.

http://i42.tinypic.com/33245qq.jpg
This is just mundane and stupid.

http://i40.tinypic.com/6xybnc.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2mzqyf.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/x5r0hy.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/280kwvt.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/i1fbck.jpg
Seriously, this is exactly how all those offscreen random encounters with Zubats played out.

http://i40.tinypic.com/a3fhwp.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/wv7bjb.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/dred86.jpg
No, losing is just another part of the--haha, okay yeah. Sucks to be you.

http://i43.tinypic.com/24blnpt.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/10fz1ug.jpg
You sad, misguided kid. I'd pity you, but you're just another NPC.

http://i42.tinypic.com/dwcmyv.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/5pevq8.jpg
Now this is more like it. Using this on certain Pok�mon will evolve them. We'll be saving these for much later.

http://i40.tinypic.com/24kwdo3.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2ufa8h1.jpg
This fellow seems very happy to see Gofur.

http://i42.tinypic.com/6pt06g.jpg
Very happy.

http://i44.tinypic.com/gom.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2i6kn5g.jpg
These guys primarily use Pok�mon found in mountains. Such as Geodude.

http://i39.tinypic.com/nq3hus.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2dilkb7.jpg
Um no. Let's send Bard out.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Alright, I've beaten these guys before; this shouldn't be that hard.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/x6j3v7.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Ow, goddammit! It may not seem like it hurt a lot, but it still hurts, dammit!>

Two minutes later...

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Y'know, I'm getting really tired of this.>

http://i39.tinypic.com/mmqszl.jpg

Okay, now let's get away from this guy.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2usk0zs.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2cjaj6.jpg
Really far away.

http://i43.tinypic.com/no8yhc.jpg
First, a recharge.

http://i41.tinypic.com/14ky6it.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/11kkodi.jpg
Now we proceed further into the pit.

I don't care. Also, your friends and everyone you love are next.

http://i44.tinypic.com/1grwxk.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/11kbhqr.jpg
Okay, why are you telling me this? Go bother someone else.

This is a waste of time.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2433l75.jpg
And here's another one of these idiots.

http://i39.tinypic.com/5etmjp.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2j0mfxy.jpg
Wait, wait, wait, hold it. So, you're saying that your plan is to find a bunch of useless fossils and sell them for money? You guys are horrendously short-sighted.

http://i42.tinypic.com/icr19w.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/13zubgh.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/synsd2.jpg
Well, you're in the way, so I have to fight you.

http://i41.tinypic.com/3493qjp.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2lix2te.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/muivxh.jpg
Why am I doing this? I don't know. Force of habit, I guess.

http://i41.tinypic.com/mtkozn.jpg
Still...

http://i44.tinypic.com/5d41o1.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/24ex8ye.jpg

Well, this is a new one. Grimer is all Poison and has a pretty decent Attack.

Its other stats are... not quite as good.

http://i44.tinypic.com/23jmlxt.jpg
Yep, another no-brainer opponent.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2vm66hv.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/aaubvc.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/99p98h.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2095cn5.jpg

Jeez, another one? You guys suck.

http://i41.tinypic.com/24142vc.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/29gl5oy.jpg
Same as before.

http://i40.tinypic.com/33tq7tw.jpg
Well, here's another pure Poison. This guy is more defense-minded than Grimer.

http://i44.tinypic.com/10gz7fr.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2rpbnsj.jpg
Unfortunately its Special sucks and we're using Special attacks.

http://i43.tinypic.com/qxnksz.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/m1y15.jpg
Its Attack also sucks.

http://i41.tinypic.com/6oix5j.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/358nrqc.jpg
And its speed is absolute crap. However, Weezing gets a bit better in all categories, so it's still usable.

http://i44.tinypic.com/105qujl.jpg
Alright then, can I leave now?

http://i43.tinypic.com/2rh7fyp.jpg
Yeah, good for you.

http://i44.tinypic.com/28d4p.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/34skkxs.jpg
Well, it looks like we're on the right track.

http://i41.tinypic.com/b5shnb.jpg
Just a completely empty spot.

http://i39.tinypic.com/sc81hx.jpg
OR IS IT?

http://i41.tinypic.com/359jmon.jpg
Welp, nobody around to bother us here, so it's smooth sailing to Cerulean.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2v9zqdh.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/vifc47.jpg
We get a TM that teaches Whirlwind lying out in the open.

http://i44.tinypic.com/35mnuo9.jpg
Alright, this is the only path to Cerulean. If we cross this ledge, we won't be able to get back to Pewter and everything that came before it for a long time. So if there's anything that you think I missed or you want me to go back for any reason, now's the time to tell me.
Otherwise, tune in for next time, where I showcase some of the stupidest crap you're probably already aware of in this game!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oh good Arceus, it didn't take long for the internet to find a way to circumvent the anti-piracy features on HeartGold and SoulSilver. I mean, why bother at all in the first place?>

Hell, it's not taking me long at all to blast through, but that's how I roll. Not only can everything melt if you use enough fire, but if the surrounding environs haven't caught on fire, you aren't using enough.

Looking forward to the return of your rival. I make it a rite of passage for my starter to beat up the rival's starter no matter how advanced it is, every single time.

We don't really need a bike since we've got the power of fast forward emulation, but I guess we can look around to see what they have to offer.

http://i43.tinypic.com/35clwft.jpg
Huh.

http://i44.tinypic.com/106j42w.jpg
Hello, I hear you are selling some bikes?

http://i39.tinypic.com/ztez28.jpg
I dunno, I prefer choosing my own bike that I know will ride well.

http://i42.tinypic.com/23l1fu9.jpg
GODDAMN that is expensive. We'll need to beat up a lot more trainers to get that kind of money. Also, I need the money to buy Pok� Balls.

All houses in this game are impossible. Also, absurdly devoid of essentials.

Naw, man, you just have to beat up a Gym Leader to get one. Don't need a lot of skill for that.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2qai9eq.jpg
You sure? 'Cause I could have just found a rock and carved it to look like a badge.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2nrzghk.jpg
Jeez, dude, it's just a standard issue badge. What's so special about it?

http://i40.tinypic.com/2lka6wm.jpg

http://i39.tinypic.com/vgso53.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/sn1kdw.jpg
Here we can learn the effects of each badge, although the effects doesn't really help us that much and will usually go unnoticed in a regular playthrough.
Basically, every odd badge boosts a stat for all of your Pok�mon, and all the other badges raise the level cap for determining if traded Pok�mon will obey you in battle. They also allow you to use certain HM moves in the field. This system stayed roughly the same until Gen IV, where badges no longer give any stat benefits.

Dude... he's just on the other side of that house! Stop being lazy and catch that idiot!

Oh forget it. Let's go back to that patch of grass we passed before.

http://i43.tinypic.com/vhq3kg.jpg
I bet there's some good Pok�mon here!

http://i41.tinypic.com/9l9av7.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2j1lm35.jpg
Or not. Oh well...
We've seen this one before. Sandshrew's got some pretty good Attack and Defense, but horrible Special and Speed. Sandslash is pretty much the same except more.

http://i44.tinypic.com/5ckb9c.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/20jfyvn.jpg
So, we catch this sucker just to add to our Pok�dex.

Okay, this is a new one.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2n8n2mp.jpg
Abra is a Psychic Pok�mon that has worthless Attack and Defense but packs a hefty amount of Special and Speed.

http://i41.tinypic.com/21aipoi.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/efqxpi.jpg
However, because of its current moveset, it is absolutely no threat to us.

http://i44.tinypic.com/66ch80.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2uizrpd.jpg
Also, even without a critical, Shepard's Horn Attack wipes the floor with Abra.

Yes, but that doesn't mean you actually CAUGHT them.

http://i40.tinypic.com/263iv7r.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/20jrehi.jpg
Seriously, nobody cares about that stupid Pok�dex. We have Bulbapedia.

http://i40.tinypic.com/hwwy2h.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/15hjuhz.jpg
Good for him. You however, have got your bonce in the clouds.

http://i39.tinypic.com/1217gp1.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/w854yp.jpg
Why are you boring me with this trivial information.

http://i39.tinypic.com/25qg712.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/24fcsb8.jpg
I thank whoever I want to, thank you very much.

http://i44.tinypic.com/16hj19y.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/23kptt1.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/rbxhyp.jpg
So what does this path have in store?

http://i40.tinypic.com/346nc6p.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/ostqmb.jpg
Obviously a series of unavoidable battles.

http://i41.tinypic.com/141juk2.jpg

You're serious.

These guys are unevolved and still have the same goddamn moves as last time.

http://i41.tinypic.com/nlq740.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/10sephc.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/5aj6mr.jpg
It makes me think that you intentionally wanted to suck.

http://i39.tinypic.com/15znsj5.jpg
That was not your best and you're an idiot.

http://i42.tinypic.com/23uewl3.jpg
Oh yeah? Well show me a challenge!

http://i40.tinypic.com/eite03.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/xepnpi.jpg
Also, a growl.

Why are you saying the exact same thing the last guy said. Be original!

http://i41.tinypic.com/26113x0.jpg

And here we have the one flaw in this dialogue that I find highly annoying: The game assumes that you are essentially the good guy and therefore against Team Rocket and doesn't let you have a choice in the matter.

http://i41.tinypic.com/289j39d.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2iaz71x.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/312fozb.jpg

C'mon, there must be something good in this...

http://i43.tinypic.com/sy2hs5.jpg
AND HERE IT IS

http://i39.tinypic.com/2wc4jev.jpg
This guy is a major pain to catch, and we all know why. We have two strategies to use at this moment. One, we throw a Pok� Ball right off the bat and pray it works...

http://i43.tinypic.com/157jjbt.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/hur86b.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/a31lwn.jpg
Two, we paralyze the bastard and hope it prevents him from moving long enough for us to throw the Pok� Ball.

Okay, so since I went through all that trouble, I'm giving you the honor of finding a good name for this cowardly bastard. Also, this Abra will play a major part in the next few updates I believe, especially the one right after this one, where I will show you a bunch of crap so horrendously stupid that it warrants its own article on Bulbapedia. Probably.
Stay tuned!

Y'know, reading this, and comparing to to ASSHAT's adventures, I realize that it is the nature of pokemon to evoke extreme rage through stupidity.

You heard it here first, folks: Playing pokemon makes you evil. Pass it along.
And make it double.

Yunno, your rival doesn't seem to be as much of a dick as I remembered him being. "Go say hi to the guy who made the computer! He's neato!"

It's like he's your older brother. he still cares about you, but isn't afraid of calling you a dweeb either.

Anyway, I'm bad with names, so... Mr. Miyagi? Or I guess you could only fit Miyagi.

Bard The 5th LW

03-28-2010, 01:16 PM

Name it Uri Geller. Here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_controversy) is the page as to why.

You've already said his name. Multiple times. It's what you'll be saying if he's in your party and your last resort and still not leveled.

His name is Dammit.

Flarecobra

03-28-2010, 04:53 PM

Earthbound.

Or Arcana.

PCD

03-28-2010, 07:24 PM

His name is Dammit.

Seconded.

That or Broken. Because goddamn you could sweep the game with a Kadabra.

Geminex

Definetly Dammit.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. Damnit!

krogothwolf

03-29-2010, 02:40 PM

I say Dammit as well

Thadius

03-29-2010, 05:40 PM

Dammit, I wasn't expecting to be so popular. Now I'll have to come back constantly just to see if A) the Abra is named Dammit and B) to see if Dammit is a valued member of the team.

Also, if you evolve it and it starts to sweep your foes aside like they're so much tissue paper, then his name'll fit even better. It'll be what people say when you send him out! "A Kadabra? Aw, dammit!"

Also, Bard gets...Hmm. Bard should get a reward for thoroughly bashing Squirtle aside like he meant nothing. Maybe a nice bit of charcoal? Perhaps an amulet coin? Something shiny, nice, and useful for his troubles.

Umbee

03-29-2010, 05:44 PM

No held items in Blue. Maybe he could be taught a nice TM move. Dig is pretty powerful in Gen I, and you get it in Cerulean.

Ecks

04-01-2010, 07:36 PM

I'm going to vote alongside everyone else in this thread and say Dammit.

Also. GC. What's your name and tripcode? I wanna brofist you next time I see you bouncing around the asshole of the internets.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, seriously? THAT'S what we're calling him? Oh boy, this is going to cause a lot of conversational problems in the future.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/1zgye5t.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/5m0big.jpg

http://i39.tinypic.com/21e95xk.jpg
Ah yes, right where we left off.

http://i41.tinypic.com/eppwxt.jpg
Welp, going back to retrieve that Abra.

http://i42.tinypic.com/28cir7a.jpg
Accessing Pokemon Storage...

http://i42.tinypic.com/w7zwig.jpg
Gonna have to deposit this one to make room.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Little dude don't talk much, huh?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Maybe he's sleeping or something. I dunno.>

http://i41.tinypic.com/2iqisfd.jpg
Now to change the order to allow our Abra to gain experience.

http://i41.tinypic.com/33yq6tf.jpg
Right, so let's get back to where we were before, shall we?

http://i42.tinypic.com/2efnlf9.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/292bceu.jpg
Whatever. I'm still going to send you packing.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2416sds.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2vb3sdj.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/257kc1w.jpg
Oh goody, a Machop.
And for those who still don't get why I didn't bother to heal paralysis: Paralysis is worthless on a Pokemon with no practical battle moves. In fact, it could actually be beneficial, because it blocks other permanent status effects like poison and sleep.

http://i41.tinypic.com/16k7u4x.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/33duvd3.jpg
But why am I saying this anyway? Nobody in their right mind would leave an Abra out for more than the opening round.

http://i42.tinypic.com/miclg7.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/9a3gxv.jpg
Blah blah blah high attack, low special, same old Machop.

http://i41.tinypic.com/35miexh.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/e69d7k.jpg
Poison isn't quite as good as burn, but we'll run with this.

http://i39.tinypic.com/ayqbrm.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/20iw65x.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/1z5hkj8.jpg
Yeah, trust me, poison is only good in the games where the intensifying poison effect doesn't get cleared after battle or on switching out.

http://i43.tinypic.com/andd8x.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/vx0k7l.jpg
Or rather, Bard is going to handle another one of these freaks.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oh god, don't tell me I have to handle another one of these freaks.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/raxi74.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Yep, looks like I have to.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Jeez, that was annoying.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/2qjcc2c.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/1z6wccj.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2eozkvm.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<No, it was routine. Boring, monotonous routine.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/2ebftwm.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/5ag5xs.jpg
That's nice. Moving on.

http://i41.tinypic.com/i4jvaq.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/dmecya.jpg
Now this is a sneaky hidden item. You have to check the wall to find it.

http://i43.tinypic.com/14x2wq8.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/fz6rn8.jpg
I don't need practice, I just want my Pokes to get EXP.

http://i43.tinypic.com/99ihxs.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/amv7uw.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/210ndeh.jpg
Now, I had considered using Rare Candies to speed up the process...

http://i40.tinypic.com/2uh8v1g.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2e5urg3.jpg
But no. Rare Candies are rare and using them now would be a waste.

Well, we're making progress I suppose.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2pr7llw.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/efnfjc.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/fammc4.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/28mfpe.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/1zvejvm.jpg
Man, we make Gofur act like a schizophrenic.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2cpc6ls.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/acbyih.jpg
Fury Attack is one of a few attacks that deals 2-5 hits at random. It's not that great of a move.

http://i43.tinypic.com/210ycg0.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/o7pwcm.jpg
Especially since there's high-power, 100-accuracy moves that can do the job more effectively.

http://i42.tinypic.com/k2idja.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/11hrtdx.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2vty0ro.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/10e0ndg.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2hz7ou8.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/359mucx.jpg
I outrank you.

http://i43.tinypic.com/1zdlus4.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/i6cv8n.jpg
That sort of tip would have been useful back at Viridian City.

http://i39.tinypic.com/mi1g6a.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2usbkfk.jpg
I just need the EXP thank you

http://i39.tinypic.com/4fv4vt.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/141qceo.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2uoidsi.jpg
As we've observed, Rock/Ground Pokemon might be fearsome when you first encounter them, but they quickly become a sorry bunch once you know their weaknesses.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2mm8nth.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/23ue9tc.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Aaaaaand you're using me to defeat these guys because...?>

Let's skip through the whole battle as you already know who wins.

http://i43.tinypic.com/osr0g4.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/qygt9h.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/wbuxq8.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<I'm a goddamn lizard that can START FIRES.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/hx7zwo.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2wc1aux.jpg
Yes, but we're going OUT of Cerulean City. What now?

http://i43.tinypic.com/25rkx6o.jpg
What the hell I don't care about your boyfriend

http://i39.tinypic.com/nz554h.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/24wyjc7.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/x6akiq.jpg
A male Nidoran?

http://i39.tinypic.com/34o64ab.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/dzcygy.jpg
OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE WANTS TO INTRUDE ON SHEPARD'S DOMAIN

http://i39.tinypic.com/28rir88.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2ldhhzp.jpg
AND NOW SHEPARD WILL... um.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2v9drts.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/254wytw.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2mfxqc.jpg
Yeah, you weren't missing much.

http://i39.tinypic.com/23tjme8.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/zsmjo1.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/11gkd2a.jpg
Don't you be blaming your loss on your own shortcomings.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2070pox.jpg
You seriously have low standards.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hnx56d.jpg

http://i44.tinypic.com/6pnvwm.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2mz7s7.jpg
The hell you were; you were just standing in one spot waiting for someone you can fight.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oh no, not another one of these freaks.>

http://i41.tinypic.com/5d6ys2.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2djp6pz.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2a675tl.jpg

A Machop with the same moves as last time.

Glah.

http://i41.tinypic.com/5d6ys2.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<If you didn't see that coming, you're not paying attention.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/n6rx2f.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/vx0t8h.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/25zjhcg.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, I got a hiker? AWESOME! Oh wait, you didn't mean that literally.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/16lgqrc.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/zwo68.jpg
None of which will be helpful to us in any way because we never get to see them.

http://i44.tinypic.com/9ht1mb.jpg
Alright, there's an item on the other side, but we can't get to it because some jerk and a skinny bush is blocking the way. Since we can't cut that bush down yet...

http://i42.tinypic.com/2rxfdp1.jpg
...we need to draw this guy out.

http://i41.tinypic.com/fa5yq0.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/f1mjh1.jpg
You just gained negative coolness points for stating that in public, you dip.

http://i44.tinypic.com/sex7rb.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/wldow7.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/n1xzys.jpg
Also, those clothes are retarded.

Whoever thought that throwing the same forced battles at the player was a good idea needs to have their head slammed into a toilet.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2ed1opw.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/20ght4.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2rzz50o.jpg
Okay, seriously, we need to change things up a bit.

http://i41.tinypic.com/mi2g3s.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/16l9pgn.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/6dxoqx.jpg<Right, then, we shall settle this fair and square.>

http://i40.tinypic.com/minosh.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/1nzep4.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/6dxoqx.jpg<Ooh, trying to intimidate me, are we? Well, nice try old chap...>

http://i43.tinypic.com/ajow89.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/bfhm39.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/16ht0ro.jpg<...because I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU INTO PIECES REGARDLESS.>

http://i42.tinypic.com/t6pmco.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/v745dw.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/211nuvr.jpg
You just lost any coolness points you had left.

http://i42.tinypic.com/14u836g.jpg
Good luck with that. Wait, no, I take back any luck I had given you and replace it with spite.

http://i42.tinypic.com/10ifr13.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/140c4zc.jpg
With that guy out of the way, we can now take this TM that teaches Seismic Toss.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2d2ghns.jpg
HOLY CRAP THIS KID IS A PSYCHIC.

http://i39.tinypic.com/prgvp.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/5lt46v.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2rzz50o.jpg
These battles will not end.

And, finally, level 16. That didn't take long.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2hfm8mx.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/f401ol.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/14y8iv7.jpg
Oh boy, I just love fighting Sandshrews! /sarcasm

http://i40.tinypic.com/o8udqo.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/o9ects.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/110f9dx.jpg
To save time, assume that the entire battle was made up of nothing but Horn Attack and Sand-Attack.

http://i41.tinypic.com/16artwx.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2m3ry2p.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/j7xds0.jpg
HOLY CRAP THIS BOY MUST BE A CHILD PRODIGY AMONG PSYCHICS

http://i40.tinypic.com/14cz2gp.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/6i7jf9.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/5eu7i1.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/5vdjlz.jpg
BEHOLD, THE SECOND APOSTLE HAS AWAKENED

http://i43.tinypic.com/24e9evo.jpg
And he comes with a free attack too! ALL YOURS FOR AS LOW AS $100

http://i40.tinypic.com/1zx30ps.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/10qh3m8.jpg
Yeah, why don't you go back to Viridian and share your wisdom with those guys.

http://i40.tinypic.com/1zo9h03.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/20hawyp.jpg
HA HA HA I don't give a crap.

http://i40.tinypic.com/1qq1ee.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/11afn1c.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/21j127q.jpg
We've seen Oddish before. It being a Grass/Poison type means that it has a weakness to Psychic, and you know what that means...

http://i41.tinypic.com/18m5ip.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/28aupfs.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/10xvq1j.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/67s587.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/205wqkp.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/11wfzaf.jpg
A high Special stat makes Confusion hurt that much harder.

http://i42.tinypic.com/64mszq.jpg
Oh no a Pidgey! It does not have a crippling weakness to Psychic! Whatever shall I do!

http://i41.tinypic.com/r0nwnt.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2yn2gso.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/10e223c.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/mx1tfc.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/viflaf.jpg
Duh.

http://i40.tinypic.com/120qc5z.jpg
Another Oddish? Man you people suck.

http://i42.tinypic.com/205wqkp.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/11wfzaf.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/8y5j48.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/10o4m05.jpg
And just like that, another level!

http://i44.tinypic.com/wsmgeh.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/a59owh.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/4i0ajt.jpg
That came out of left field there.

http://i42.tinypic.com/idf95f.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2zyk505.jpg
Do you ever listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth?

http://i44.tinypic.com/i44f21.jpg
This looks important.

http://i41.tinypic.com/ou366p.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2hchtmf.jpg
Nice place, but where's the kitchen? Or the bathroom?

http://i39.tinypic.com/mvhvf4.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2vd5ywy.jpg
Why would you want to build a teleporter when you have Pokemon that can teleport you anyway!

http://i44.tinypic.com/dxdcee.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/20h7qwy.jpg
I can't even tell if this creature is a Pokemon or a dog/crocodile hybrid.

http://i39.tinypic.com/4lgish.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2yn3qdw.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/i264ps.jpg
Well, looks like we found Bill, I guess.

http://i43.tinypic.com/n3n7ed.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/kec4k4.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/97ijwp.jpg
Aha, looks like a problem that we alone need to fix. Also, shouldn't Bill be speaking in Pokemon language right now?

http://i43.tinypic.com/1zp185y.jpg
The game's not going to move until we do so, so we say yes.

http://i41.tinypic.com/fx5k0h.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2570i91.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/o0o010.jpg
Wait, he knew this was going to happen beforehand?

http://i41.tinypic.com/34zgg95.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/34nfghh.jpg
I bet he likes doing this sort of thing every day.

http://i43.tinypic.com/10gmsg7.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/kaojmt.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/fkwoyd.jpg
And so, without any prior knowledge on how to operate this bangdoozle, we activate it.

http://i43.tinypic.com/10gmsg7.jpg

Oh wait, there we go.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2a6m8tl.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2qst1kk.jpg
Hang on, what happened to the Pokemon that you spliced with? Did it get vaporized?

http://i39.tinypic.com/6scght.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/mh3whl.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/dewi6o.jpg
No, we just came here because the plot required it.

http://i40.tinypic.com/5u1fkj.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/1zx64i1.jpg
Gimme gimme.

http://i43.tinypic.com/238zdz.jpg
And here's the plot coupon we need.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ic7ek4.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/w2obgg.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/34qvi13.jpg
Oh hey, guess what we're going to be doing on the S.S. Anne!

http://i44.tinypic.com/24wu1aw.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2a4qxe1.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/24yz5gn.jpg
Yep, it looks like we're headed to the S.S. Anne.

http://i42.tinypic.com/6jlswn.jpg
Well, we're done here.

http://i39.tinypic.com/9px17c.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/w1vn7.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2ptt6dx.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/23lcr28.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/29fs090.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/rc5w1u.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/1dk3k.jpg
As we've heard before, this path is a one-way road back to Cerulean.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2z7ls0i.jpg
And it's only NOW that this jerk decides to move out of the way for no apparent reason.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2m31wu8.jpg
Well, the guy who robbed this house surely never heard of the word "discretion."

http://i44.tinypic.com/6tlr21.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2dmcvap.jpg
I'm sorry, I only heard the word DIG, what was that other stuff you said?

http://i44.tinypic.com/240ymc5.jpg

http://i41.tinypic.com/2itpx86.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/jqnp6d.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/wbriau.jpg
Guess what we're going to be getting for FREE!

http://i44.tinypic.com/15eyem9.jpg
What the hell! That idiot didn't even run away during the time we spent running around in Route 25!

http://i41.tinypic.com/zk259t.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/4u8ayw.jpg
http://i39.tinypic.com/za72w.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/21axxg9.jpg
Team Rocket fails HARD at even the simplest of crimes. Also lying.

http://i43.tinypic.com/wgoz03.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/3442h7d.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2h6suap.jpg
Ahahaha, wow, this fight is one-sided.

Oh snap, a Pokemon we haven't seen yet!

http://i43.tinypic.com/zlosvd.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/rayusn.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/nf1is3.jpg
Drowzee is actually a pretty decent Psychic Pokemon. Though its evolution, Hypno, is outclassed by the more popular Alakazam, it gets more HP, Attack and Defense, and it also has a sleep move, something that Alakazam lacks.

And I'll be sure to give it back to the owner. Yes.

http://i44.tinypic.com/j604nc.jpg
Oh wait, we ran out of room for items already?

http://i41.tinypic.com/nwlq1s.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Wait, WHAT? This guy... he could've... *sigh* It's official. Team Rocket is the absolute worst criminal organization in existence. Also the police are even worse.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Hey.>

http://i44.tinypic.com/2s198yf.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Umm... are you ever going to talk at all?>

http://i44.tinypic.com/2s198yf.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/11sp1eo.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/f6mn8.jpg
So, we store all the items that we're not going to use until much later. Or even use at all.
Currently, Gofur's PC holds a town map, a dome fossil, TM34, TM12, TM04, TM45, TM19, and 2 Rare Candies.

http://i39.tinypic.com/zwc079.jpg
Now we go back and get our prize from that idiot.

http://i39.tinypic.com/abh7bq.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/25j8tuc.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/10rslr8.jpg
And NOW he runs off. What a retard.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hq86f4.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2n3mzn.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2rqhh10.jpg
Oh hey, you're serious about that? Cause, we just got back your TM, which we could have given back to you... yeah.

Oh yeah, you may have noticed that I missed out on fighting a few trainers back in Route 24 and 25. Well there's a reason for that. AND IT'S GONNA BE BIG.

http://i44.tinypic.com/53921f.jpg
Now this next part is something that could potentially be dangerous if you decide to try and recreate it on your own game, so I take no responsibility in any losses that may occur on your end. Are you ready?
First, note where we are right now. If we take one step down, we will find a trainer who will be facing upwards, ready to battle us. But there's a way to avoid fighting him while standing in plain sight.

http://i40.tinypic.com/fyn0gp.jpg
See what I did? I opened up the menu the moment the trainer appeared on the screen. Note that this can only be done if you approach the trainer from the left, right, or above, because each NPC, by default, faces downwards when they are activated, and it is only on the next frame that they are assigned the direction that they will face (assuming that they are supposed to be facing a direction other than down).
So what can we do from here?

http://i42.tinypic.com/iw52jr.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2z6tr37.jpg
Well, how about we teleport back to the Pokemon Center in Cerulean?

http://i41.tinypic.com/30kdor4.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/1zbw10m.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/20szozc.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/24b2l4n.jpg
Once we cancel out of pause, the trainer immediately sees us, but since we're in the process of teleporting, he can't do a damn thing about it.

http://i41.tinypic.com/10nt1ci.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/e9grpe.jpg
So now we're back in Cerulean. Notice now that the pause menu has been disabled. Also, we can't talk to people. This is because the game had expected you to fight a forced battle, so it disabled the controls so you couldn't escape.
But WE JUST DID, and this is where it gets real.

http://i39.tinypic.com/ayn5w5.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/uvtz5.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/ery061.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/25z5sfl.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/6j1qn4.jpg
So what now? Well, let's go and fight that OTHER trainer we missed.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2s8okdz.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/22jjnl.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2zhid7a.jpg
Now, it is crucially important that the other trainer has to walk towards you to battle you. Otherwise, the game will freeze for some reason.

http://i43.tinypic.com/350m5fm.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2j0cojm.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2mjy80.jpg
This kid has a Slowpoke, a Water Pokemon that can use Psychic attacks and evolves into Slowbro, a rather decent Water/Psychic Pokemon. Partly because it gets humongous Defense and has decent values in every other stat besides Speed, and partly because it can also learn Amnesia, which DRASTICALLY boosts the user's Special stat.

http://i42.tinypic.com/6p3ywl.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/15cfwyb.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2emimip.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/331n7r4.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2hs3c4n.jpg
However, it falls easily to a fast Electric attack.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2e36b2o.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/280jbqh.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/k2y3ac.jpg

http://i40.tinypic.com/2dkwdo6.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/aewmr4.jpg
Once the battle ends, we can talk to people and use the pause menu again.

http://i39.tinypic.com/6ntpix.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/1hckfo.jpg
Now let's teleport to Cerulean again, because it's quicker I feel like it.

http://i43.tinypic.com/a2aufp.jpg
When we try to go back to Route 24, the game suddenly opens the pause menu for us. IT IS ALSO CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY EXIT OUT OF THAT. And when we do...

http://i44.tinypic.com/30sd84w.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/eg7orb.jpg
HOLY CRAP A BATTLE ON THE BRIDGE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtdQl6WuFeI)

http://i44.tinypic.com/acddg6.jpg
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT'S MEW!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<HOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLY [pumpkinschnitzel] WHAT THE [aerogel] IS GOING OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN>

http://i40.tinypic.com/affyth.jpg
And there you have it, the Mew Glitch. This is why we had to fight that trainer's Slowpoke: it had a Special stat of 21, which is also the game's internal Pokemon index for Mew (in case you're wondering, Rhydon is 1). This glitch can pretty much allow you to catch any Pokemon in the game, as well as glitch Pokemon that should not exist (for the obvious reason that they could crash your game).

http://i40.tinypic.com/uso68.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/33ubzg0.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/sz9agi.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2wolts2.jpg
Now all we have to do is catch it like we normally do. However, keep in mind that Mew has a very low catch rate, so it might take a few tries.

http://i39.tinypic.com/20k6no8.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/dq4ugh.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/21l26mr.jpg
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Well, I guess I was wrong about us having no way in hell of ever catching a Mew.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/1z4wv2a.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/21cfa86.jpg

But hold on, this isn't the best part of the glitch. Want to see something even more HORRIBLY GONE WRONG?

http://i41.tinypic.com/v62dmh.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/k4w5n5.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/nweae0.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/21j0lrc.jpg
Going back to the Slowpoke battle, what if we had lowered the Slowpoke's Attack by 6 stages?

http://i44.tinypic.com/f1ljpw.jpg
Well, this happens.
That's right. A LEVEL 1 MEW.

See, this is another feature of the glitch: the level of the Pokemon encountered with this glitch is determined by the attack modifier of the Pokemon fought (so, in this case, no change = level 7, -6 attack stages = level 1).

http://i42.tinypic.com/1zxv0w7.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2q8sqqt.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/5dorkp.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/11ahhmr.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/qsnlsz.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/ei5rhz.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/jzjyhl.jpg
Catching it is still the same as before.

http://i40.tinypic.com/15mnqyw.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/294rz2s.jpg
Also, it comes with HOLY CRAP THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH EXP
Why is that? Because the game never expected any Pokemon to be at level 1, so the EXP curve is slightly screwed up in such a way that a level 1 Pokemon comes with NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE POINTS. However, since EXP is an unsigned value, it instead wraps around and becomes an ungodly amount of EXP, enough to bring any Pokemon to level 100 (provided that the EXP gained on the next battle is less than the EXP that's shown as what is "needed" to get to the next level), the equivalent of using 99 Rare Candies, with the same downsides (ie. does not give stat exp).

http://i41.tinypic.com/wqu2hj.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/6f8scm.jpg
For more information on this glitch, go see the Bulbapedia article (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch) and follow the links there.
So, what should we do with this Mew? Should we use it as part of the team, or should we get rid of it and claim this never happened just to keep the rest of the adventure fair?

Until then...

http://i39.tinypic.com/30tlab7.jpg
I hope I didn't forget anything important!

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<...so I'd like to know how you think the world will end.>
http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngWell, either Groundon's gonna crack open a supervolcano and turn the air into acid, or Kyogre's gonna do a cannonball and wipe all the continents clean with a megatsunami, or Rayquaza's gonna twist a hypercane into existence and rip the face of the planet off itself.
http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Okay... so which one is more likely to happen?>
http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngIt'd probably be the Clefables pulling the moon down onto the planet. You can't trust those smiling faces.

Gym Fight.

Put Mew in the PC (unless you wanna use it for an HM Slave JUST BECAUSE). Seriously, Mew is the R/B/Y equivalent of a Mary Sue. Almost no downsides to using it, whatsoever. Can learn any TM or HM, can learn Transform (I think?) and learns a move exactly every ten levels (if memory serves).

Besides, having two Psychics is kinda lame. DAMMIT is more than enough.

Also, three minor questions. One, where do you get the sprites that you use for dialogue between your team members? Two, whatcha waitin for as far as evolving Bard? Three, Dammit doesn't talk. Any reason why?

Feel free to answer via PM if you don't want to put it out in plain sight. Or just laugh at me for being a huge dork.

I'm pretty sure there's another mew glitch involving that same trainer, fly, lavender city and something else I think, but I don't completely remember. I do remember using a similar but different way of getting mew.

Oh, and boss fight time! Take out Misty!

And I love Dammit's way of not-talking. I assume there's a wonderful explanation for it and we'll see it later. Gonna try to get him up to a Alakazam, or is he staying a Kadabra forever?

How in the name of [insert Mac's deity of the week] is he gonna get an Alakazam. They are only available via Trade. Same with Machamp, Golem and Gengar!

There is at least one GB emulator I know of that will let you run two games at once; it also considers them linked. Hence, load your pokemon game and a seperate pokemon game, trade, then trade back!

I did this a while back to get myself a Gengar, Alakazam, and Scizor in Pokemon Silver.

Okay, okay, I guess everyone knows that I clearly missed something important. Thing is, I just wanted to see how far we could go before the lack of the Cascade Badge, and in turn, the lack of ability to use CUT on the field, would force us to turn back and get the badge.

But anyway. I decided to keep the Mew, however I won't be using it other than for collection purposes. Also it's at level 7 so no easy mode.

http://i48.tinypic.com/hwzeae.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/30jmhau.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2d7zl9f.jpg
I apologize to Mauve Mage in advance if she takes offense to this.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2q3vh9d.jpg
We can't go this way yet due to a lack of two things: HM01, and the Cascade Badge.

This guy runs a Pokemon daycare service, where we can drop off one Pokemon and have it gain EXP as we're doing stuff. However, you need to pay money to get back your Pokemon, and it's based off of how many levels it gained while in the daycare, so it's not a very good investment. Also it will learn skills and overwrite old ones at random to make room for the new ones.

This text is misleading, as that move actually missed.

More like you should carry more than one Pokemon. Also, don't make them all underleveled to the point where they have a cumulative level of 20.

we

I'm sure I could have used a Rock-type like Geodude instead of a Pikachu, but then I'd have to carry around a Grass-type to handle Water Pokemon.

And here is Vermilion City.

I though the Machop line was supposed to be the pinnacle of strength; why would it take so long for it to flatten out a plot of land?

http://i45.tinypic.com/jip7iv.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/2n24ir.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2ainc7b.jpg
Alright, now we can fish for Pokemon!

http://i50.tinypic.com/1z663bk.jpg
So how does fishing work in this game, you ask? Simple!

http://i48.tinypic.com/4v44r7.jpg
Simply use the rod in front of any water tile...

http://i48.tinypic.com/29pqaep.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2unxdol.jpg
And if you're lucky, a Pokemon will get hooked!

http://i45.tinypic.com/2ujj9xf.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2558c5t.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/288xsba.jpg
Also, you have to fight the Pokemon you just caught.

http://i49.tinypic.com/smpw9i.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2cqi1ie.jpg
Well I already have a Gyarados, so I don't need another one of these.

And that's pretty much how the fishing mechanic works. Well, there are two more types of rods that we can get later on, which determines what Pokemon you can catch in an area. Right now, the Old Rod only lets you catch Magikarp, which I guess is okay if you like Gyarados a lot.
In the later games like Pokemon Emerald, Gamefreak decided to try and make fishing more "interesting" by forcing you to pay attention instead of the tried-and-true "press button and forget" method of the older games. We all know how that turned out, didn't we?

http://i45.tinypic.com/14e2xdz.jpg
So, let's see what's in this house.

http://i47.tinypic.com/os724j.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/25u1c7t.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/hs9rn9.jpg
A Farfetch'd, hmm? Let me see if I have any- Oh right, I left him in the PC.

http://i47.tinypic.com/ran66r.jpg
Yeah, we'll get back to you.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2yozb0x.jpg
In for temporary storage.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2gujsd0.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/16banib.jpg
I guess if I wanted to, I could catch another Spearow.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Hey, Tobias, we've got a new purpose for you.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/xppueb.jpg<*sigh*>

http://i47.tinypic.com/25u1c7t.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/hs9rn9.jpg
YES YES DO IT

http://i47.tinypic.com/29y08xz.jpg
Well I only have one Spearow, so there's no point in letting me choose.

Yes, they actually use the link trade animation for in-game trades. Couldn't they just have you swapping Poke Balls by hand?

http://i45.tinypic.com/6jqer7.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/rit18h.jpg
Well, whatever. Anyway, new Pokemon!
Yes, this is the only Farfetch'd you can get in the game.

http://i48.tinypic.com/11l37s5.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Okay then, Tobias's Replacement. What have you got to offer?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<First of all, the name is Dux, and don't you forget it! My skills are nothing short of unstoppable!>

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Um... sure. Can I see a demonstration then?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<You bet! Perhaps after I'm done, you'll have learned something. Can I get a volunteer?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Very well. Hey, Comast!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Yo!>

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Beat this guy up.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<Alright then, get ready! Even though I'm holding back on my true power, my ferocious attacks may still leave you in shock!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Shock, huh? That gives me an idea!>

http://i48.tinypic.com/35mh2cn.png<Here I come! YAHOO!>

http://i47.tinypic.com/es6xqa.gif

http://i50.tinypic.com/30ddtuc.png<Ow.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Welp, moving on.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/2w2g9cz.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/b67ep2.jpg
Shame Dux's stats and movepool are an absolute pile of crap.

http://i47.tinypic.com/k9c9dk.jpg
Well, this update took a long time, didn't it? So to make up for it, I'm going to have the next update come really REALLY soon. Like, at least four times sooner than this one.
Also, I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me to a more efficient method of batch-uploading pictures to an image-hosting service.

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Whoa... that's awesome! I wish I knew how to do that.>

I happen to like Farfetch'd. It's been my Bird/HM slave choice forever. It can Peck, Cut, Fly, and Sand-attack.

Lost in Time

05-25-2010, 03:41 PM

Every Red/Blue playthrough I do I promise myself "This time I'll have Farfetch'd throught he whole game! But around level 40 he just really really... really sucks."

Also I imagined your Farfetch'd to act like one of those old Vaudevillian salesmen.

Julford Hajime

05-25-2010, 04:34 PM

Doesn't Farfetch'd naturally get Swords Dance? I mean, I've never used the guy much myself, but back in elementary school (We're talking the year it came out, here), a friend of mine had a mid-60s duck that would kill anything after a Swords Dance or three.

Then again, SD was a regular ol' buyable TM back in the RBY days, so having Swords Dance didn't make you unique or special >.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<So, young one. Would you like to learn how to become as strong as I am?>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Oh yes, Adrian is very interested.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<That's a great attitude you have there. It'll help when we get into the rigorous daily exercises. You'll need to keep your wits up at all times, y'know!>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Is it dangerous?>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<You betcha! But never fear. It's all part of the training. You can't get stronger if you avoid pain, you know that?>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<That makes sense, Adrian thinks.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<Well, now, shall we get started? First, I want you to hit me as hard as you can.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Umm, umm...>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2z74okh.png<Hey, don't worry. I can take whatever you throw at me.>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<O-okay. Adrian will do it!>

2 seconds later...

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg<Ah, are you okay?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/30ddtuc.png<U-urk... agh... No problem! I'm totally fine!>

http://i47.tinypic.com/k9c9dk.jpg
I told you it'd be soon didn't I?

Anyway, more sightseeing. I suppose we could enter the S.S. Anne now if we wanted to, but nah. There's still quite a few things I want to do first.

It's nice to know that the local police are good at everything that's not related to catching criminals.

http://i45.tinypic.com/198g08.jpg
Oh boy, what could this cave possibly contain?

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY I just LOOOOOOOOOOVE going into dark and scary caves can't you hear the EXCITEMENT in my voice?>

http://i49.tinypic.com/xdfhxd.jpg
A bald guy?

http://i48.tinypic.com/ajl1e8.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2m6qwxj.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2dl7s55.jpg
Yes, it's surprising to find out that creatures that are known for digging tunnels have dug a goddamn tunnel.

http://i50.tinypic.com/j7ajvq.jpg
So, guess what kind of Pokemon we'll find in this cave!

http://i46.tinypic.com/8vrlp4.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/moqpu.jpg
If you guessed otherwise, then you're a goddamn idiot.
These guys here have a level range of 15-22, and already know the move Dig, which is very annoying considering that Dig in Gen I is plenty powerful. Also, they got a whole bunch of speed going for them. Thankfully, they are quite fragile and fall easily to physical attacks.

http://i50.tinypic.com/1685sw3.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/25tgmy0.jpg
I catch one because why not.

http://i45.tinypic.com/b8u6g1.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2h2fotz.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/2yvjgu8.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2ql6007.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2d7zl9f.jpg
Thadius would most likely get this reference.

http://i48.tinypic.com/143ns6d.jpg
If that's not enough, this tunnel is a long, featureless, linear path that serves only to waste your time with random encounters. And if THAT isn't enough...

http://i45.tinypic.com/24e6p1f.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2s0ygdz.jpg
You can also find these guys. They have a level range of 29-31.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ai2a20.jpg
Both of them give out a lot of EXP though.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Still, they goddamn HURT.>

HINT HINT

http://i50.tinypic.com/10fs202.jpg
So we're back at Route 2, at the entrance to Pewter City.

http://i50.tinypic.com/296jd3k.jpg
Or, we would, if we could use Cut.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2cd7ib8.jpg
So the only thing we can do here is visit this house.

http://i49.tinypic.com/24nnvvn.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/9viphc.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2qwfuia.jpg
The hell does that even work? You're saying that Pokemon listen to commands and do stuff unconsciously?
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Wow, seriously? I never knew we were THAT awesome.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/tag0zr.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/o8rw1y.jpg
Well of course I want a--Wait a minute.

http://i50.tinypic.com/302v31s.jpg
Damn.

http://i50.tinypic.com/fldanc.jpg
Have to go back and catch a new one.

http://i49.tinypic.com/104q23m.jpg
But first!

BIKE

http://i46.tinypic.com/2mwclm8.jpg
Using the bike is as simple as selecting it from the item list.

http://i46.tinypic.com/fjnprb.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2cqirv9.jpg
While on the bike, your movement speed is significantly increased. That's all.

Back through Diglett's hallway of doom again...

Also I use Five a lot here because he is immune to Dig.

Mr. Mime is like a poor man's Alakazam--it can be used the same way, but it lacks quite a bit of offensive potential. Although it has slightly less HP and doesn't get Recover, it gets slightly better Defense and can use Barrier, which drastically increases Defense.

Five simply chews up those moles a lot.

Alright, so since you people have been really expecting me to beat the Cerulean Gym leader, it's time for me to get back onto the main road.

http://i46.tinypic.com/iz5kpj.jpg
Mr. Mime is for those who don't have the patience to raise a Kadabra.

Or for those who really like Mr. Mime, I guess.

Well let's get started on this gym. First off is this guy.

http://i45.tinypic.com/ddiyi9.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/os4vw7.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2zg4sw5.jpg
Horsea is a fairly substandard Water Pokemon. It has decent Special and Defense, but low Attack and HP. There's nothing special about it's movepool either.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2rogeut.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/1zc0ody.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2ewmixx.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/t03o95.jpg
It does gain a more competent evolution in the later games, though.

http://i46.tinypic.com/289a2h0.jpg
Shellder is actually a pretty good Pokemon. Its evolution, Cloyster, has the highest Defense stat out of any of the original 151 Pokemon, and it can put on the pressure with decent stats in both Attack and Special.

http://i47.tinypic.com/dh6542.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/nx8ked.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/f3ygco.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/11sgm07.jpg
It should be noted that the Shellder line became WEAKER in the later games due to its Sp. Def stat being half of its original Special stat (Special simply became Sp. Atk).

http://i49.tinypic.com/358rym9.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2h2nypv.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/11s2hip.jpg
Oh, it be. Also, 80 cash? That's not even enough for a Antidote!

http://i50.tinypic.com/oi9e8y.jpg

http://i48.tinypic.com/5qipl.jpg
Yeah, keep dreaming, fanboy.

http://i48.tinypic.com/mbmr61.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/23ifhmp.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/ok7dd1.jpg
Wait, what? No, we don't do that here, lady. You disgust me.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2mg05j5.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2uo50yf.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/148puvr.jpg
Oh, now this is just awful. Goldeen suffers from both lousy stats (which is only semi-decent) and a mediocre movepool.

http://i47.tinypic.com/s6qexx.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2i8hqut.jpg

Not even moves like Supersonic and Horn Drill save it from being awful.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2z8bv3q.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2e5rzg6.jpg
Oh hey look, a starfish made of sparkle and shiny.
Staryu is actually really damn good due to having fairly good HP and Defense to go with its high Speed and Special. While its evolution, Starmie, may not be as potentially powerful as Alakazam, it can certainly take more hits, and boasts a frightening combination of Electric and Ice attacks in its movepool.

http://i50.tinypic.com/5x2636.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Here, Comast. How about you take the spotlight.>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Whatever you say, dude.>

They're still susceptible to Electric and Grass, though.

http://i50.tinypic.com/15ogebb.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/oshetg.jpg
Alright, Comast can now learn Swift, a Normal move that never misses, but he has to lose one of his older moves to learn it. What should he forget?

http://i48.tinypic.com/ip4iu9.jpg

http://i49.tinypic.com/velmp4.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/wkptmt.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/2m7itc7.jpg
I choose Growl because Comast is meant to defeat opponents as fast as possible, not stall them out.

Don't do that.

- Anything illegal, obviously. Especially links to ROM sites or comic book scans are something that keeps popping up. Copyright on the internet is a major grey area these days but these are things that are blindingly obvious. In the same vein, if you've downloaded a game or a movie, no one here cares to know you did - just avoid mentioning it entirely.

Y'know, I'm starting to realize how much of a big hassle running a Let's Play is. It takes a lot of time and dedication out of your own time just to entertain the masses that will probably never do anything for you in return, and it really doesn't make you a better person. In fact, it can make you an even WORSE person, because that time spent on doing a Let's Play could be spent on studying, exercising, or pretty much ANYTHING other than on a pointless attempt at being known on the Internet.

But you people demanded it be so, and so it shall be.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Alright, so let's get started! First thing that's going to happen is... is...>

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ro27ax.jpg?

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Huh. Truthfully, I've quite forgotten what has happened up to this point. Most likely because it's taken a month for this update to come out. ANYWAY! Let's check back a few pages to see what we did dutdutdutdutdutdutdutdut okay here we go.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/35cevqb.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<This is Vermilion City, right? Yes, it does seem so. Ooh! Hey Comast, how about you take a nice break for being such a valuable member of our team?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/ivaclh.jpg<Uh, I am? Wow, bud, I didn't even know I was. But really, I don't think I'll be taking a break right now, not when there's more->

http://i49.tinypic.com/691g6r.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Well, we really don't have a choice in that matter, don't we? Sorry kid, the master makes the rules here.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2l0tg2.png http://i46.tinypic.com/xptts2.png
Remember how I said that this cat was going to be our moneymaker? Well, I'm going to show you why.

Right after we fast-forward through several hours of TRAINING

Alright, done.

http://i48.tinypic.com/wb46f8.png
Here's our team's stats now. Also, new moves: Dammit gets Disable, Bard traded in Growl for Rage, Shepard could have learned Focus Energy (but didn't due to that move being bugged in this game), Five gets Dragon Rage, and most importantly...

http://i45.tinypic.com/2h4m04i.png http://i46.tinypic.com/1iex09.png
We now have Pay Day. (Also Blingcat dropped Growl for Screech, because dealing damage is more important for Blingcat than taking damage. And Screech IS awesome, by the way--it's pretty much the same as using two Tail Whips twice, but in one turn.)

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qx26j9.png http://i48.tinypic.com/2e2oyzt.png
At the end of battle, you gain money equal to double the level of the Pokemon that used Pay Day for each time it is used. This applies to any battle, whether it be in a trainer battle or against a wild Pokemon (and this is in addition to the prize money you get from trainer battles).

http://i45.tinypic.com/28tciud.png
Now let's go and see what S.S. Anne is all about.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2zgrocm.png http://i45.tinypic.com/5ocpqu.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<WHOA WHAT THE HELL! Small ship outside... big ship inside... this is a huge-ass joke of Palkia's design, isn't it?>

http://i50.tinypic.com/bdkrd2.pngYeah, but I think he's busy with Asshat or something. You can try calling his number next month or so.

http://i47.tinypic.com/ea1kk1.png http://i47.tinypic.com/20j5pom.png http://i48.tinypic.com/245is83.png
And that makes yours better because...?

http://i46.tinypic.com/2evw0er.png
Y'know, I'm getting really tired of having to show everything I do in every trainer battle, and it really doesn't add to this Let's Play very much, especially since trainer battles are getting more increasingly frequent as we go through this game. So, I'm going to skim through all the unimportant trainer matches and give you the details on the more interesting ones.

http://i45.tinypic.com/108b4hg.png http://i46.tinypic.com/16ht0dx.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/iwnpdl.png http://i48.tinypic.com/29fz578.png
Shut up.

In the words of Calvin Coolidge: **** you You lose.

http://i45.tinypic.com/1eko0i.png http://i50.tinypic.com/jtl2iq.png
Um no.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2uory84.png
...Aaaaaaannnnnnnnnnd? Are you going to follow up on that?

http://i45.tinypic.com/jr4n10.png http://i48.tinypic.com/254xc2u.png
Body Slam, a great damage move with the added bonus of having 30% chance to paralyze.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2psos3q.png
Let's check the next room.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2805gz4.png
It's fun to break into places that clearly should have been locked.

http://i50.tinypic.com/28l9buo.png
He had a level 19 Nidoran male and female. Sad.

http://i49.tinypic.com/wbs31x.png http://i50.tinypic.com/29e4rwn.png
But hey, more experience!

http://i50.tinypic.com/2aes93a.png http://i47.tinypic.com/27y5vr.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2is88e9.png http://i46.tinypic.com/29bevef.png
Also, money. And oh boy, gentlemen give out a LOT of cash.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9sywiv.png
Okay, jeez, sorry. You could have said so instead of, y'know, instigating a Pokemon battle.

http://i46.tinypic.com/av1xep.png
You can leave the S.S. Anne at any time to do other things. The ship won't sail until you get HM01 from the captain.

http://i50.tinypic.com/14y0pyf.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qdtkzs.png

http://i49.tinypic.com/eaqijt.png
Sounds like something I've heard before...

http://i50.tinypic.com/28l9buo.png http://i49.tinypic.com/34xjblt.png http://i48.tinypic.com/29glvn8.png
This guy has two Growlithes. They're high on the Attack and Speed and average in everything else.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2zrqec3.png http://i49.tinypic.com/20p58c6.png
Oh, and they also get Roar, which is useless in this game because it doesn't do anything in a trainer battle, unlike in the later games where it forces the target to switch to a random Pokemon in their team.

http://i49.tinypic.com/6tl8v6.png http://i47.tinypic.com/25z022a.png http://i48.tinypic.com/23u2bus.png http://i48.tinypic.com/34nfl7o.png
Um... can we consider this to be borderline creepy?

http://i50.tinypic.com/2is865v.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Yes. Yes we can.>

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ztk6pv.png
Now let's see what's down the left corridor.

http://i49.tinypic.com/3486rn6.png http://i46.tinypic.com/j8dv8h.png
Oh hey, a kitchen.

http://i47.tinypic.com/jhploz.png
Oooooh, items!

http://i50.tinypic.com/117ace8.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/rifdhf.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/xqc5fm.png
I guess this is the ball he was talking about.
Great Balls work like Poke Balls, except that they have a 1.5x catch rate modifier (that's 150% of the normal catch rate).

http://i46.tinypic.com/258qb06.png

http://i49.tinypic.com/2rel4kz.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/14judcp.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/2quuqu9.png
Why is it that a lot of these guys have to talk in fake French?

http://i45.tinypic.com/2hx0t95.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/2j2hrb8.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2cnzjon.png
Interestingly, if you talk to him on the side, he says something slightly different.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2yljyog.png
Now, let's see what's downstairs.

http://i46.tinypic.com/33k8ac0.png
A corridor full of more rooms.

http://i50.tinypic.com/30adndh.png
Predictably, they're all unlocked.

http://i45.tinypic.com/34dfuvl.png
Max Potions are rare items, and where they aren't rare they're usually expensive. They restore all HP to one Pokemon. Considering that this is a HUGE step up from Hyper Potions (which restore 200 HP), these things should only be used for high-level Pokemon with more than 400 HP.

http://i49.tinypic.com/20px98g.png
Door #2!

http://i50.tinypic.com/2hclox3.png
Two random sailors.

http://i48.tinypic.com/1z6xheq.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2yu0w48.png
Is this a joke? Because the punchline is non-existent.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2q30odc.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2uyp20m.png
A single Shellder. Work out the outcome yourself.

http://i46.tinypic.com/16av3uh.png http://i46.tinypic.com/264tis9.png http://i45.tinypic.com/mhy5gh.png
It's fun using Pay Day on defensive Pokemon because you get more money out of it.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2yo9vud.png
Gofur doesn't say anything, so we'll never know.

http://i45.tinypic.com/5bpxzm.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2j5dj05.png
Implying that sailors believe in such a thing as sailor's pride.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2ytwdvr.png
So, what are we up against? Well, he's got...

http://i50.tinypic.com/2vae4it.png
A Horsea...

http://i48.tinypic.com/hskweh.png
A Shellder...

http://i46.tinypic.com/11kcpld.png
And a Tentacool. The Zubats of the sea.

http://i48.tinypic.com/34pkrp4.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2ufsy95.png
Also, man these fights are worth a pretty good amount of EXP.

http://i48.tinypic.com/xneydi.png http://i49.tinypic.com/24w5zf4.png http://i50.tinypic.com/sqmclz.png http://i48.tinypic.com/11m5fl5.png
It's funny how all these stupid quips are not funny.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2eebok8.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2nh0wfs.png http://i49.tinypic.com/34pjg5z.gif http://i46.tinypic.com/2aietua.png
And now Blingcat can enjoy all the benefits of evolution, which of course means increased stats all around.

http://i42.tinypic.com/16ht0ro.jpg<HEY EVERYBODY! GUESS WHO'S STILL NOT->

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Shaddup.>

http://i46.tinypic.com/2nruvp.png http://i50.tinypic.com/30iyob4.png
No. I mean yes.

http://i47.tinypic.com/116tmd2.png
Hmm hmm

http://i45.tinypic.com/287g1sp.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/hrn56s.png
Because every attack except Struggle uses this game's equivalent of MP, having items that restore them are always helpful.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2vv5288.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Okay, slightly more creepy than the last one. Was Nob/Douglas Dinsdale trying to sneak some adult humor in or was he forced to write these things at gunpoint?>

http://i45.tinypic.com/2ytwdvr.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2vae4it.png
All of his Pokemon are Horseas. Seriously, this is quickly getting to a new level of repetitiveness. Have I said that already?

http://i47.tinypic.com/24zjebb.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2uptt2a.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2n1846e.png
Blingcat's new and improved stats made this battle even more of a breeze than it already is.

http://i47.tinypic.com/15hy9fd.png http://i48.tinypic.com/2rpsjf5.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Well, obviously! Does this game assume that we have the memory of a 4-year old?>

http://i46.tinypic.com/2cmlojn.png
Next!

http://i48.tinypic.com/ou5tmb.png http://i45.tinypic.com/11ceir7.png
Um, I could have figured that out myself on account of EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD HAS A POKEMON.

http://i47.tinypic.com/wm1rwh.png http://i50.tinypic.com/11qh6ab.png
A Tentacool, followed by a Staryu.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2hn0rie.png
Stupidly, I run out of PP for Pay Day prematurely in this battle.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2uz87jr.png
So I just resorted to using normal attacks for the rest of the fight.

http://i49.tinypic.com/ncf8ty.png
Also, Bite is a massive powerhouse of a move for this particular point in the game. It instantly felled this Staryu at full health.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2iuph4.png http://i50.tinypic.com/nfl82.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2i116yt.png http://i45.tinypic.com/4sd1c2.png
Overleveling your Pokemon helps, especially since Diglett Cave is readily accessible and Gyarados is immune to their most dangerous move.

http://i45.tinypic.com/24fcu29.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2412kwy.png
Yes, I can tell from the fact that all the Pokemon you use are ones that you can get from fishing or surfing.

http://i49.tinypic.com/1zx4ig3.png
I'm sure you know how useful/aggravating a move Rest is.

http://i47.tinypic.com/9jnin7.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/24e7rwi.png
Note that I'm only showing you the rooms that have either valuable items or people to fight. This will be the last one down here.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2gy3dbp.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/2q3dnit.png

http://i49.tinypic.com/5vmzwl.png
Haven't we heard that one before?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2s6kahg.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/2iruuew.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/2hyjo1e.png
OH HOLY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Agh, jeebus! That face looks like it got run over by a jackhammer and his eyes got misaligned and his jaw dislocated or something!>

http://i50.tinypic.com/21j921k.png http://i48.tinypic.com/30c7f2r.png
Pay Day on Tentacool, Pay Day on Staryu...

http://i47.tinypic.com/34h8ikk.png http://i47.tinypic.com/m8eefp.png
Oh hey a level up.

http://i50.tinypic.com/98ttl1.png
And finally, Pay Day on Shellder.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2m4965e.png http://i45.tinypic.com/m8fkeu.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2n9g613.png http://i46.tinypic.com/x7rq9.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif

http://i45.tinypic.com/2qbazdd.png http://i46.tinypic.com/24dljxx.png
Just assume that Gofur is too repulsed by HIS FACE to respond. Because that's what I'm doing.

http://i50.tinypic.com/124d75x.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2m50210.png
Which I'm not.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2q30odc.png
Welp, another Water Pokemon that we're going to have to-

http://i45.tinypic.com/2vdfpdj.png
Oh hey, something different for once. Though, we've seen Machop before.

http://i46.tinypic.com/n13w28.png http://i48.tinypic.com/33a7wop.png http://i47.tinypic.com/j8ioon.png
I should like to point out that using Pay Day any chance you get really adds up in this game.

http://i48.tinypic.com/23scfhz.png http://i48.tinypic.com/1jazjq.png
That's nice. We ignore you now.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2iiki00.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/zl44mh.png http://i48.tinypic.com/fmi6hl.png
You serious? Hold on a sec.

http://i46.tinypic.com/r1e8vd.png http://i47.tinypic.com/4rzrr8.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2ce29ae.png http://i49.tinypic.com/1415b7s.png http://i48.tinypic.com/dgp1r5.png http://i46.tinypic.com/muwr45.png http://i48.tinypic.com/21erv2s.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2q0m6w5.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2zpnn2a.png
I'm pretty sure we'll be using those TMs and that Moon Stone at some point, but not right now.

http://i47.tinypic.com/9jnin7.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/2zjhrmh.png
NOW we can get that Hyper Potion.

http://i45.tinypic.com/hsj1w3.png
Well, that's it for the downstairs area. Now let's go upstairs.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2mmw97b.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/jhxwnm.png
There's stairs in our way. LET'S GO UP THEM

http://i50.tinypic.com/2nkq73o.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/oho64w.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/20ict4k.png
THIS IS A GIANT HINT I HOPE YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION

http://i47.tinypic.com/34xj9rt.png
Well that was pointless. Moving on then.

http://i46.tinypic.com/28lynex.png

http://i45.tinypic.com/2m34s5s.png
Ohohoho, that's silly, you can't ever get seasick unless the plot tells you to.

http://i47.tinypic.com/wm1rwh.png
This guy carries a Machop and a Tentacool, both of which are annoying for different reasons.

http://i49.tinypic.com/t69mja.png http://i47.tinypic.com/k52z49.png
Due to the buggy nature of this game, Karate Chop and other similar moves that have an increased critical rate are pretty much guaranteed critical hits. Also, in this game critical hits do straight-up double damage, regardless of attack and defense modifiers.

http://i50.tinypic.com/14tr3g2.png
I don't need to tell you why Tentacool is annoying.

http://i49.tinypic.com/r042ok.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2z8d9uc.png http://i50.tinypic.com/9linvn.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Gimme your money. Heh, I always wanted to try saying that.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/m8fk9i.png http://i48.tinypic.com/4i0a6h.png
Well, technically, we're still at 493 Pokemon. Although, expect hundreds of new ones to be "discovered" in the future.

http://i49.tinypic.com/155gadd.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/fnxpjc.png
If by "jig" you mean "use my Pokemon to beat up my Pokemon so I can have a barely legitimate excuse to take your money", than sure.

http://i47.tinypic.com/wm1rwh.png http://i48.tinypic.com/20hxa4l.png
Machop again...

http://i48.tinypic.com/33mndr4.png
Followed by Shellder. Again.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2mcdp2u.png http://i47.tinypic.com/15d8j0n.png http://i50.tinypic.com/9linvn.png
Bah.

http://i48.tinypic.com/4ig0ed.png http://i47.tinypic.com/icjo9j.png
Well, I'm pretty sure that if you search on the Internet, you'll find out exactly how many there are.

http://i47.tinypic.com/24e7rwi.png
Alright, that's it for the top deck (aside from minor NPCs that don't have anything useful to say), so let's go explore the last few parts of the ship.

http://i47.tinypic.com/6gihy9.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/2hg45nc.png http://i48.tinypic.com/xduhpd.png

http://i49.tinypic.com/104en1u.png

http://i49.tinypic.com/2iqeomq.png
That's not quite as impressive as I'd hoped. Mostly because 1) anybody who knows about Pokemon already knows about Snorlax, and 2) it's not quite as awesome as a lot of other Pokemon we currently have now.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<I'd just like to interrupt to tell you about Slaking. Those guys are so badass that they intentionally wait out every other turn just to give the opponent a fighting chance.>

http://i49.tinypic.com/20px98g.png
Okay, so moving on.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2kizr8.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/2s6kahg.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<IT'S THE FACE AGAIN OH GOD OH GOD>

http://i48.tinypic.com/ig9p8o.png
He had two Goldeens and a Tentacool just to annoy us.

http://i50.tinypic.com/qpf4li.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2zea59j.png
But because Blingcat gets a level on the first one...

http://i49.tinypic.com/egxouw.png
One Pay Day is enough to take out that Tentacool.

http://i46.tinypic.com/v7xhl.png
Oh, and this would be a situation in which getting a critical hit is bad, because that means less uses of Pay Day needed, which means less money.

http://i47.tinypic.com/4viz9k.png http://i50.tinypic.com/m8nw1z.png http://i48.tinypic.com/14lle87.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<JUST GET THAT FACE AWAY FROM ME>

http://i47.tinypic.com/10f8374.png http://i47.tinypic.com/5xq64l.png http://i48.tinypic.com/121zw3r.png
Wait, there was one? Because all I saw were mostly people standing around in their rooms not doing anything.

http://i48.tinypic.com/ng7vc2.png http://i45.tinypic.com/eah4jn.png
Crushing people's hopes and dreams just for money keeps ME youthful.

http://i50.tinypic.com/o764ps.png http://i45.tinypic.com/555soz.png
Okay what

http://i46.tinypic.com/2a6taoi.png http://i46.tinypic.com/715jxg.png http://i49.tinypic.com/21ozyj6.png http://i45.tinypic.com/2mfyty9.png
Seriously. He had just that Pikachu on him. What, is he taking that youthfulness thing seriously?

http://i48.tinypic.com/zyhfua.png
No, I'd still beat you up. God, adults are idiots in this game.

http://i46.tinypic.com/352nrb7.png
As you may have guessed, this is the Ether counterpart of the Max Potion. Both the Ethers and the Max Ethers are especially rare, as you can't buy them in stores. So, guess how often we'll be using these!

http://i48.tinypic.com/30navd5.png

http://i50.tinypic.com/kb6jhz.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/28gqjv9.png http://i45.tinypic.com/fxqkv7.png
How about an effective Pokemon?

http://i50.tinypic.com/28l9buo.png http://i49.tinypic.com/27x3wic.png
Another Growlithe, nothing spectacular, we've seen them before.

http://i50.tinypic.com/km81y.png
Oh, and we have another new one. Ponyta has that same focus on Attack and Speed like Growlithe, except that Speed is only marginally higher than Attack and HP and Defense are both less than what Growlithe has. Also, Ponyta gets Fire Spin.

http://i48.tinypic.com/29kuc1y.png http://i48.tinypic.com/15bng6.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2hz2uxc.png
They still aren't all that threatening at this point.

http://i49.tinypic.com/dpzbid.png
I prefer Pokemon that can kick your ass.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2e36ckl.png
Another Rare Candy that we're never going to use. How silly we are.

http://i45.tinypic.com/15i9pn4.png http://i45.tinypic.com/24w9012.png
We never did find out where the party is.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2evw0er.png
She uses a Rattata and a Pikachu.

http://i46.tinypic.com/n18eq0.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2ileyrs.png
They were both promptly Pay Day'd.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2s97jp5.png http://i48.tinypic.com/axcifc.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2yzlamu.png
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<No. We are not using that overused Touhou meme. EVER.>

http://i47.tinypic.com/2djs5f4.png
Good for you. We're leaving.

http://i47.tinypic.com/9jnin7.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/2jev4gi.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/2lc6yr5.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2znv8m9.png
The Safari Zone, huh? Gonna take a look at it once we have the time.

http://i50.tinypic.com/1448htv.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2gxeovl.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/2d7g6k8.png
And to show how excited he is about it, he has to end his sentence with double exclamation points.

http://i50.tinypic.com/4udx0p.png
Well I guess that's all there is here, so the captain should be just up ahead.

http://i46.tinypic.com/i766oi.png http://i46.tinypic.com/2dj1gg2.png http://i45.tinypic.com/24fydqg.png

Blah blah blah we don't need to hear any of this useless banter.

http://i49.tinypic.com/20jfzue.png
Oh hey look, he's got a new sprite now.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2r2xc3d.png http://i46.tinypic.com/vqqlh2.png
And of course, he opens up the match with a Pidgeotto.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2ntxxf6.png http://i47.tinypic.com/ricebk.png http://i49.tinypic.com/106f0no.png
Welp, let's just keep spamming that Pay Day.

Obviously, Blingcat is the one who gains the most levels in this update.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2yvklqr.png
Hey look, he finally evolved that Rattata.

http://i49.tinypic.com/rtkuvb.png http://i49.tinypic.com/117abv6.png
Pay Day all the way.

A BATTLE OF THE MINDS

http://i46.tinypic.com/2h308eu.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2w700fb.png http://i49.tinypic.com/34srxxc.png
Disable prevents the opponent from using a randomly-selected move for a few turns. It's somewhat handy, but it'll eventually get replaced by better moves.

http://i50.tinypic.com/w6p9if.png http://i47.tinypic.com/15p2xib.png
We get lucky and block the move he was going to use from being used.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2a9zk1h.png http://i50.tinypic.com/2dl2lx3.png
With his only attack disabled, that leaves us free to pummel him with our own attacks.

http://i46.tinypic.com/24b7sl0.png http://i45.tinypic.com/mlh9u0.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2l9nnut.png
Well, ain't that ironic. (Not really, I expected something like that to happen)

As long as his one attacking move is disabled, we can't get hit.

http://i48.tinypic.com/2ept07m.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2vs114x.png http://i45.tinypic.com/atlr8n.png
And that's why having more than one attack on a Pokemon more suited for attacking is always good.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2k10u1.png http://i49.tinypic.com/9un3oz.png http://i49.tinypic.com/2ihb0n9.png http://i48.tinypic.com/fd84jr.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/25fj5fk.png http://i48.tinypic.com/21d39kw.png

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Stop trolling, jerk. What I saw was that I beat him, that's all that matters. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to lay down for a while. Man, who knew ordinary bubbles could hurt so much?>

So what now? Thoroughly destroy the Vermilion Gym before moving on, or explore more of the world and see how far we can get with what we have now?

Good update, but you forgot to look in the Captains trash can! (While there's nothing important in there, I just enjoy having my characters look at a pile of puke). I say for the Gym, it'll be fun.

I'unno. Well anyway, the point is we're back and that's what matters. Now let's see what's next on the agenda...>

http://i25.tinypic.com/i4r9c7.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Wait, what? When did I ever think about going to Disneyland? That place is eeeeeeeeeeeeevil. Also, for kids. I'm not a kid. As much as I wish I were.>

http://i31.tinypic.com/2wmjn7q.png
And we're back where we left off.

http://i25.tinypic.com/f9qikp.png
The only thing to do now here is to settle some matters with the local gym leader.
And no, I'm not going to pull out that Dugtrio. We're doing things the HARD way.

http://i29.tinypic.com/167pi1h.png
Unfortunately, the gym is blocked off by a currently indestructible shrub that continues to block our path for no other reason than because it's a jerk.

http://i46.tinypic.com/9qz5dv.gif<Also, why can't you just BURN the suckers down? It's made of wood, wood catches fire, I can FREAKING START FIRES, why aren't we allowed to BURN THESE GODDAMN THINGS?!>

http://i26.tinypic.com/2m7jjnk.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/msc6x4.png http://i27.tinypic.com/20kuhkz.png
However, with HM01 in hand, we can now do something about it.

http://i28.tinypic.com/120m0et.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/29ahpl.png http://i30.tinypic.com/294j49w.png http://i32.tinypic.com/dy7ae.png
Simply use it from the inventory menu, as seen here.

http://i29.tinypic.com/16m2f49.png http://i31.tinypic.com/xkvybk.png
Upon which it shows you which Pokemon are eligible for learning the move. This follows a somewhat logical reasoning, in that it would be odd to have a Pokemon like Voltorb perform a cutting attack when it's a goddamn ball of explosives. I say "somewhat" because I still don't get how a ghost balloon can perform a cutting attack.

http://i29.tinypic.com/25g3pug.png
And now our Pokemon has a new option when we select it. Using this when near a shrub...

http://i30.tinypic.com/2604aoy.png http://i25.tinypic.com/2rmm89c.png
...will remove that obstacle from your path. Later generations made it simpler by instantly giving you a prompt to use your Pokemon's HM moves when interacting with something that you can use an HM move on. But they took a step back in generation 3 and 4 by adding longer, unnecessary flavor animations to go with the HM moves that you can't skip.

If you hadn't guessed by now, this is obviously a puzzle.

http://i28.tinypic.com/2qssaci.png http://i29.tinypic.com/bg5o5k.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/xc2oeo.png
There are two switches to find. If you guess wrong after turning on the first one, the puzzle resets.

http://i31.tinypic.com/2qdbnll.png http://i26.tinypic.com/2e2nxfq.png
This, obviously, makes blind guessing difficult. Unless you know the trick. Or have savestates.

But we're not going to waltz right into Surge's face just yet. These guys have money on them.
