GC does a Let's Play: I also have Pokeymans and I will show you them

[Bard The 5th LW]

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

[Flarecobra]

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

Give him a monicle for a bonus.

[Ecks]

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?

[Thadius]

...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]

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

<Wow, dude! You're like, super badass now!>

<Really. I was thinking that I should act in a more eloquent manner so as not to frighten away my companions.>

<You serious?>

<Uhh, Adrian did not understand what Five-san just said.>

<What I am saying is that I should be more polite and friendly towards others. Especially to my friends, such as you.>

<...What.>

<Yay! Five-san is a friend!>

<That's super! So, how about we go and->

<AHAHAHAHA NO I'M NOT SERIOUS. I THINK IT'S MORE FUN TO WATCH YOU ALL TREMBLE BEFORE MY RAW UNADULTERATED MIGHT.>

<Yikes.>

<WAAAAHHH! Five-san is being scary again!>

...


Bahahaha I already caught one.


Well anyway, let's change the order again. Comast needs it more.


This person appears to be devoted to looking in that one direction.


Gofur can now add "stalker" to his resume.


The hell is this? This is just giving real life nerds a bad name.


Okay, so we have ourselves an Electric vs. Electric fight. How do we win this one?


Duh.


That's it? Oh well, this fight shouldn't take long then.


Yep, just another one of those fights where both combatants trade blows to see who falls first.


That was entirely unnecessary.




This one can't blow up on us. We're good.


Am I wasting your time with this?


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.


Gofur takes his money like the bully he is.


Well, good luck with that. Meanwhile I'll just take whatever's in that corner there and leave.


Dammit, another Potion. I should probably sell these.


Welp, gonna get a free PP refill again.


Now back to here...


We turn left and go around to find this ladder in our path.


Which leads to another path with another ladder.


Which leads to another prize and another incompetent Rocket minion.


No. How about you leave. And give me your money.


This is clearly a no-brainer.


It's not like we haven't been fighting these things before, right?


Hooray! Pikachus are still inferior to what we're going to get later on.


This guy again?


I don't know why I keep using Thunder Wave. Comast is already faster than this Ekans as it is.




Yes, but also, you suck.


Well, I was going to give one to you, but you had to be rude about it. So no.


Now excuse me while I swipe this TM that teaches Mega Punch.


Oh hey, look, a totally-not-conspicuous-and-out-of-place rock!


Hahaha I laugh for no reason.


Right, now back to the main path.


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.


Yawn


Meh. I've got nothing.


Yeah.


There's really nothing to say about this.


This is just mundane and stupid.


Seriously, this is exactly how all those offscreen random encounters with Zubats played out.


No, losing is just another part of the--haha, okay yeah. Sucks to be you.


You sad, misguided kid. I'd pity you, but you're just another NPC.


Now this is more like it. Using this on certain Pokémon will evolve them. We'll be saving these for much later.


This fellow seems very happy to see Gofur.


Very happy.


These guys primarily use Pokémon found in mountains. Such as Geodude.


Um no. Let's send Bard out.

<Alright, I've beaten these guys before; this shouldn't be that hard.>


<Ow, goddammit! It may not seem like it hurt a lot, but it still hurts, dammit!>


<I live under the philosophy that anything can melt if you use enough fire.>


<Yeah, yeah, ouch and stuff.>


<And stay down.>




<Oh god, another one? Goddammit.>

Two minutes later...


<Phew. Hopefully that's the end of->


<Oh, come ON!>


<Y'know, I'm getting really tired of this.>


<Okay, really. I am just sick and tired of this crap now.>





<Moero.>


Okay, now let's get away from this guy.


Really far away.


First, a recharge.


Now we proceed further into the pit.


This cave has got to end somewhere.


Grown-ups should stay the hell out of my way if they value their life.


This guy may look scary, but you know what's even scarier?


My FIENDSERPENT.
<Can we not settle this in a much less violent manner? While I'm aware that this is, indeed, supposed to be a->


<OKAY THAT'S IT>


Raticate can't step to the raw power of this Gyarados.
<LEARN YOUR PLACE, WORM; YOU DO NOT WAG YOUR TAIL CONDESCENDINGLY AT ME.>




I don't care. Also, your friends and everyone you love are next.


Okay, why are you telling me this? Go bother someone else.


This is a waste of time.


And here's another one of these idiots.


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.


Well, you're in the way, so I have to fight you.


Why am I doing this? I don't know. Force of habit, I guess.


Still...


Yeah.




This is more or less a rehashing of what I've already been through.


Nope. This doesn't need any commentary.


Like you can threaten me after I just beat you.






This guy is in my way and I'm going to find out why.



Man, you can have them for all I care. I can get a lot more from Sinnoh.


Well, this is a new one. Grimer is all Poison and has a pretty decent Attack.


Its other stats are... not quite as good.


Yep, another no-brainer opponent.


Even the hordes of random encounters are more threatening than this.


Jeez, another one? You guys suck.


Same as before.


Well, here's another pure Poison. This guy is more defense-minded than Grimer.


Unfortunately its Special sucks and we're using Special attacks.


Its Attack also sucks.


And its speed is absolute crap. However, Weezing gets a bit better in all categories, so it's still usable.




You spineless creep, I just told you I don't need your fossils.


Fine, have it your way.


Hmm...


What to choose...


















Oh, I guess it doesn't matter. I'll just toss a coin for it.


Alright then, can I leave now?


Yeah, good for you.


At the end of this path lies another ladder to climb.


And then another.


<OH GOD, YYYYEEEESSSS! FREE FROM THAT HELL AT LAST!>

<Dude... I was definitely not made for cave exploring.>

<Adrian... thinks... she needs... a rest now...>

...

<What, seriously? You're all pansies. Go back in there for a month and then tell me how grateful you are.>


Well, it looks like we're on the right track.


Just a completely empty spot.


OR IS IT?


Welp, nobody around to bother us here, so it's smooth sailing to Cerulean.


We get a TM that teaches Whirlwind lying out in the open.


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!

<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?>

[Thadius]

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.

[Flarecobra]

Heh...I like what you did with Fives. Very awesome.

And to the Big Bridge Smite!

[Ecks]

Five is bipolar. Awesome. Also, an asshole.

Lookin' forward to the next one, GC. These are hilarious.

[Tev]

Yeah, let's hop the fence and go show Misty our water pokemon!

[Premmy]

That Five chap seems a mite bit preturbed
