Let's Play Pokémon Yellow!

[dynamicsonic]

Choose one!

As for every episode I've missed. EPIC. That fight with Giovanni must be redone in flash and posted to Newgrounds, or something.

I messed around with Pokémon Shiny Gold... I'm sure most of you know I'll eventually LP Crystal, right? Anyway, the reason why I won't do SG instead just to be different is, well, mostly the music. It's just not the same without the original music, you know? Plus there are additional plot elements (which, judging by that guy who fights you right at the beginning, kinda suck), and, uh, the hack isn't finished yet. Bah.

I thought the guy who fights you right at the beginning was there simply because the game expects your first fight to be against Rival (as it's a FireRed hack) whereas in Gold you go through three stretches of tall grass before fighting him.
I don't know if it's just the version I've got, but it doesn't actually have the Gold pokemon in the wilds. Sort of defeats the point, really.

[somebody probably]

Aye the beast, with eyes of cold steel, a bunny ear and a half an' a lust for everythin' that moves. I named the creature Viseros (vis apparently being latin for force (translators. Mrgh), Eros being the greek god of passion , also it goes quite well. >>). The pokemon is of the normal variety, but do not let that fool you - it sleeps all day but preys on vulnerable pokemon at night. It reproduces not through love but through hate with its organ that can only be described as a syringe - forceful impregnation it was. Me wingull has been pregnant with the fowl creature for as many as 3 months. People ask me, 'well why ain't I ne'er 'eard er one, John?'
But no, the creature she ain't a rarity, people just tend to stay a bit quiet after they've witnessed the actions of 'er.

[Juddy [CyclonicCircuit]]

Take your pick. =P

@da (even if you won't be here again for a while) and Cyclone: I, uh, believe you missed the part where I said the sprites were optional and what really counts is the name and description.

Well, I found a Sentret and a Hoothoot in the first route. *shrugs*

And what I really didn't like was how that guy was all like "Oooo, I'm mysterious and crap. Dot dot dot." It was just... bleh.

EDIT: I just noticed how condescending this entire post sounds, but I swear it wasn't intended.

I wish to apologise now for the sheer size of this image; I scanned these at an insanely high resolution (300dpi)
[link]

I swear I'll sprite these guys soon.
(these were made back when I was like, 11.)

NEO MADE A POKKYMAN AAAAAAAAAAW

Sprites for my fakes.

Not doing Mewfri because he is freaking impossible. Just think a mini-Mewtwo with Squirtle's stance and an Ivysaur's flower on his back and you get the idea.

[Hunter]

I call it Hoppichu. It's Thunder/Leaf type. Those Mudkip things are supposed to be energy deposits

[Naem]

So, let me see, what should I...



ARGH THERE ARE GIANT RATS IN HERE ARGH ARGH



...Hmm. A dead end. Let's turn back and...



It's one of those fire-breathing puppies! =O



_{I just think they're cute, okay?}



Ugh, there are Grimers all over this place, too...

Will you press it?

>Yes
>No

Hell, yeah.



Exactly.




Pffff--



-HAHAHAHAHAH A MIDGET WANTS TO FIGHT ME



This is a fight for the ages right here, folks.



Well, at least the man has good taste in Pokémon, right?




...Okay, that doesn't sound good.






Hmm... Eh, I bet this is nothing significant, anyway.




Wow, people have said all sorts of retarded and insulting things to me when I beat them in a fight, but you're the first to suggest I should kill myself. I'll give you credit though, it takes guts to say that kind of stuff when you're on national TV.



I AM lost, though... In more ways than one.



I HAVE NOTHING TO LOOOOOOOSE



...Owww.



And then I caught a rat.



Hey, look, another one of these. Maybe I can start using them as a landmark.



...Oh, crap.



This place is definitely new, though.




Now, that's creative.



...And now I have a... sludge-y thing. Hooray.




Who left these here, anyway?



Okay, now let's go down here, and...



...Goddammit.



Maybe it's just my growing suicidal tendencies speaking to me, but maybe, just maybe, if I fall through the other side this time...



Okay, my ankle hurts like a bitch now, but it looks like it worked.




...Key?

The gym! Wait, does the gym leader actually expect everyone who wants to challenge him to come in here and break several bones in their bodies just so they can get into the gym?






...I bet Giovanni's just trying to mess with my mind again. Not falling for it this time.



...What the hell is this?



WHAT THE HELL



Come oooon, get inside the damn ball!



Seven Ultraballs to catch a level 24 Pokémon. This probably wasn't even worth the effort.





The things I do for money...



Hell if I'm going to walk all the way back, though.

_{(Go go Escape Rope! This is probably the first time in the game I've used one; I had 5 in my bag.)}



And now... The badge.

***

I'm not dealing with the challenge yet. Still trying to decide if it was a terrible idea or not. XD;

So yeah, now we're in that part of the game that I barely remember playing through, and I've never even stepped into the Victory Road in R/B/Y. Let's hope everything goes well.

By the way, it might be a little too late to ask this now, but do you like the size of each update? I try to use around 50-60 screenshots per update, but sometimes it doesn't feel like much (like, say, in this case. This update feels a lot smaller than what I anticipated). Should I try to put more content into each update?

[Sergeant Dull]

Ditto has been hanging around Muk and Grimer too much =|

[Tené]

Why is ditto brown?

Anyway, I think you've got good update lengths going, personally.


Random fun fact:
Cinnabar is a mercury ore. It is a dark red, hence the colour which is Cinnabar Island's namesake. One of the products of cinnabar, besides mercury, is Vermillion, a dye.

While I'm at it, Pewter is a form of bronze containing tin and antimony, Celadon is a kind of green pottery glaze, Lavender and Fuchsia are plants and Saffron is a spice. The only colours used for a town in Pokemon that are not named after its source are Cerulean and Viridian, which comes from the latin Caeruleus and Viridis meaning dark blue and green respectively..

[Sergeant Dull]

Cinnabar? Red? CINNAMON SPELT WRONG MAYBE

[Neo // Racing Stripe A/V]

DUHH MEW DIDN'T "GIVE BIRTH" TO MEWTWO SILLY HE WAS CLONED FROM MEW.
NINTENDO GOT IT WRONG
