The Warring States of NPF - View Single Post - GC does a Let's Play: I also have Pokeymans and I will show you them

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.

Last time, we were about to enter Viridian City.

And now we have! See? The palette has changed!

See? SEE?

Hmm, okay, maybe we should do that. So now let's go find a Pokemon Center.

Oh hey, here it is!

That is not a Nurse Joy. I was told that there was a Nurse Joy in every Pokemon Center.

Yeah, sure, I just need the PP back.

La, la, la la laaaaa~

<"Fighting fit"? Who in the crap is "fit"? ...I apologize, I'm just over-analyzing a bit.>

Wait is this an offer or something? Because I don't do that.

Oh hey, good to know. If it's free I'm all for it.

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.

Hmmmm...

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.

<Hey, I want to use the internet for a bit. Move over.>

<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.>

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?

What do you mean, "Poke BallS"?

Yes, because clearly, there's no such thing as using Pokemon for terrorism, right?

Everything is green about this city. These guys must never get tired of seeing green all the time.

Well obviously since we can't get through here yet, we need to do some sort of quest first.

<Whaaaaat?! That's your reason for not letting us pass? TAUROS [poop]!>

Alright, here's the mart that that employee was talking about. Let's go buy things!

Sure did. I hated it and I'm never going back. FOREVER!

Somewhat. He's seriously suffering from some kind of brain damage, I'll tell you that.

WHAT NO YOU DO IT YOU LAZY JERK

Aaaannnnnd you're not taking it back are you. And you won't let me buy anything until I do this pointless errand.

<Also, seriously? A pointless fetch quest thrown upon us just to artificially lengthen gameplay?>

GODDAMMIT

Hmmm...

Back at the previous post...

Oh yeah.

Convenient.
But GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

<GODDAMMIT>

Two GODDAMMITs later...

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

<GODDA-hey, that's not bad.>

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMNIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

Well, finally, that's the end of that.

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT

GODDAMMIT
Okay, I'm cool now. Alright, so we get something that's NOT completely pointless...

<...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.

Yeah, you should have started on doing 100% completion BEFORE you started competitive battling.

Look, this sort of thing is usually left to someone's grandson, not your grandson's childhood rival.

How about NO.

Seriously, the internet did this a long time ago. You should just let us download all the info on Bulbapedia to the Pokedex.

Jerk finally has it right.

All the better! You can do my share of the work for me!

Why would I want your town map anyway? I've got the INTERNET! Top that!

And off he goes. Again.
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.

This time I'm definitely sure we're never going to return to Pallet town again. FOREVER.

Now let's get back to our more important task of buying things.

Poke Balls are the first item on the list for a reason: We'll need them to catch Pokemon.

I'm going to buy as much as my budget will allow.

Alright, now let's go see what's... westish.

A patch of tall grass! Maybe there's some useful Pokemon here!

Dum de dum...

OH YEAH IT'S... wait, not the male version.

Still, WAKA WAKA WAKA! Wait I should have weakened it fir-

OHHHH SNAP FIRST TRY!

And this is what happens when you catch a Pokemon you haven't caught before.

Sure, why not.

This seems like an appropriate girl's name. Better than Nitprick. Or ASSHAT.

<Alright, so your name is now Adrian. Got that?>

<Hmmm... why?>

<Well, because the playe-um, humans who catch us like to give us nicknames and that's what we have to deal with.>

<...>

<...Adrian thinks that is a good name for Adrian! Adrian thinks Gofur will be a good master!>

<...buh?>

Alright, so we'll need to level up this one a bit for it to have a fighting chance against our next challenge.

There we go.

OH HELL YEAH

<Onii-sama~! There you are!>

...

<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!

HELL YEAH

...

This was the first thing I could think of, so we're going with it.

<Yaaaayyy~! Now onii-sama has a nickname as well!>

...

<Yes, well, Adrian thinks onii-sama can be very expressive when he wants to.>
*

I'm going to switch Shepard up to the front.

*obvious Ninja Gaiden reference*

That Spearow seems too tough for Shepard to handle. SOOoooo...

C'mon, c'mon, good luck always comes in threes...

AWESOME LUCK

Well, I'm out of ideas for names, so I'll let you people name this one. Join me next time when I... do things that are mostly related to the main quest. And also talk to a bunch of NPCs for no good reason.
