Welcome to Let's Play: Pokemon!

Since I'm pretty much on bed rest, I have plenty of time to do this, this time around. Let's see if I can keep from fucking it up this time.

I'mma throw these questions out- I need an answer to all of them, if you would.

ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

1) Which Pokemon Game? I'm talking Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, one of the Game Boy /DS titles, and none of this 'Ranger' bullshit.

Rather then just going with "most votes" I'll be checking which GENERATION has the most votes first, then picking the game in that generation that has the most votes. Kapiche?

2) What should my starter be? [Fire/water/grass/electric if you picked yellow but who the fuck would pick yellow]

3) what should my TEAM consist of? [I will be ignoring anything that says "magikarp" "Hoppip" or "Fenris' mother" as she's just about as useless, although I'd accept 1 Magikarp or 1 Hoppip on my team]

4) Restrictive or open catching? Should I only catch the pokemon on my list or their earlier incarnations, or should I huck a ball at everything, and just keep my main team leveled and ignore the others?


Polls would be about useless here, but if Fenris or some other moderator feels like they can throw up a poll consisting of the Pokemon Titles for Gameboy to help me count votes.
[being Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond, Platinum]

Blue. Charmander starter. We'll get that when we get there. Open.

Jagos
01-04-2010, 10:50 PM
DS series - Pearl - Grass.

With Flare on the "get there" part. Open catching

Loyal

Ruby preferred, but anything gen 3+ is fine -- Water type starter -- We'll see when we get there, but at least ONE of the rattata equivalants must be incorporated into the team. -- Open Catch.

I would say no Pokémon that were ridiculously powerful (Ie. Legendaries, but catching them would be fun)

I would also suggest not levelling on every trainer; let's make these gym battles quite close!

Mm, First or Second Gen is my vote; more so Second because that would mean you could go back to the first area but this might make the LP quite longer than anticipated!

I vote Pokemon Red Generation 1. And your starter should be Squirtle. Why? because then you can fuck up Gary when he picks bulbasaur.

Your overall team should consist of, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Blastoise (evolving squirtle of course), Flareon, VilePlume, and a random pokemon of your choosing. Oh and be sure to get your Warturtle to learn Megapunch. Its a beast. And Farfetch'd should learn Cut. Oh and Mr. Mime should also learn Thunderbolt. And you can have one random pokemon for everyone else to decide on.

Yes. That is what you should do. Also, do open catching. Some of these pokemons require other kinds to get (farfetch'd and mr. Mime) and the others don't show up till much later (Flareon).

Mr.Bookworm
01-04-2010, 11:09 PM
1) Gold/Silver/Crystal (I picked Gold, because that's what I had).

Where the series pretty much hit it's peak.

2) Cyndaquil.

I love me some awesome fucking flaming porcupines.

3) Don't care.

4) Also don't care, but I'd really just say catch as much as you can.

Even if you don't use the Legendaries, just kill them and mount their heads on your wall or something (that is an option in Pokemon right?).

Yumil

1. Gold
2. Don't care...
3. Only care about having a sneasel and a wobbafett, pick whatever else.
4. Open

I'm torn between the good old nostalgic Red/Fire or a 3rd gen. 3rd gen, because then you could eventually catch absol. And I like absol.

Regulus Tera
01-04-2010, 11:36 PM
I voted Blue because FUCK YOU PIKACHU WHY WILL YOU NOT EVOLVE INTO RAICHU FUCK YOU

Go with Squirtle.

Also your team should be Blastoise, Pidgeot, Raticate (cause I hate you), either Arcanine or Rapidash or Ninetails, Rhydon, and Alakazam.

Open-catching.

Tev
01-04-2010, 11:43 PM
Blue. Charmander starter. We'll get that when we get there. Open.Everything she said. Old school fun that pokemon fans of all ages can join in the fun. Otherwise we'll end up with people talking about odd little monsters that make even less sense than some of the original 150. That and we'll end up with Hot Skitty on Wailord Action (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotSkittyOnWailordAction) if we don't stick to the original games. Is that what you want? Is it!?

Yellow. Then put Pikachu into a box and never use him again for no reason.

Nikose Tyris
01-04-2010, 11:52 PM
Actually Raticate was one of my favorites when I did an all-mouse playthrough.

@Tev: That is exactly what I want.

Yumil

2nd Generation, though containing some weird ones, was far better than the first generation. Pokemon got ridiculous after that.

01-05-2010, 12:01 AM
I voted for Blue version because that was my first pokemon game. Starter of Squirtle, open catching, and I don't care what's in your party as long as it has a haunter in it. (Gengar is preferred, but I don't think you'll put that much effort into it to trade him.)

PCD
01-05-2010, 12:01 AM
I prefer Gen 2 with Silver, but Blue's a good choice, I suppose. I always went for the Fire starter, simply because it's a lot easier to find water and grass types throughout the game. Worry about your team when you get there. I, for one, always tried to only catch the earliest incarnation of a pokemon with hopes of having to train it up myself, which could maybe encourage the idea of having a team that isn't the same 6 throughout the entire game.

Bells
01-05-2010, 12:10 AM
The older games are also shorter, so i think you should pick any of those. Do open catch, but if i may suggest you should have one Butterfree on your final team.

BUTTERFREE RULES ALL BITCHES!

Lost in Time
01-05-2010, 12:18 AM
Also, if you end up choosing between a second gen game, make it silver, because Lugia beats the living crap out of Ho-Ho, and I've never played Crystal.

Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope
01-05-2010, 12:30 AM
I vote Blue for pure nostalgia.

Starter Bulbasaur.

BitVyper
01-05-2010, 12:56 AM
Blue and everyone voting for Blue is stupid. Red is king.

And start with Charmander.

Azisien
01-05-2010, 01:42 AM
I voted Platinum but I am also cool for Yellow. Pikachu follows you + all starters = best.

Blue/Red cause classic is way less painfully enormous.

Eldezar
01-05-2010, 01:58 AM
Although I liked yellow and having the three original starters, everybody has to have done that. If they didnt do it, they watched the show. We need a more creative team. I think it should consist of all mid to low tier pokemon so it is an interesting challenge.

Kyanbu The Legend
01-05-2010, 02:31 AM
I vote Platinum.

Premmy
01-05-2010, 02:55 AM
Red. Bulbasaur. Open catching. Include Scyther, A ghost, A good lightning type, Hitmonlee(or maybe Hitmonchan for all the elemental punches) Gyrados, and Venasaur, don't forget sleep powder and solar beam.

Azisien
01-05-2010, 03:18 AM
Beedrill and Clefairy!

Ravashak
01-05-2010, 04:33 AM
Considering I've (only) played Red in ages past, I'd prefer to see a newer generation game.
Starter should be a grass-type.
The team should have a Scyther and a ghost-type, don't remember enough to talk about the rest.
Feel free to catch (and use) whatever you want, just try to keep some in the team constant.

I too would like to see this. Open catching too and have more than a 6 man squad if need be.

Also, barring the Elite Four I would also like to see a lack of Item spamming on things when in battle (Or as much as the opponent uses). I would like to see this be a challenge for you, as I think nearly everyone here has beaten Red/Blue before.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure if you should use the remakes or the classic games; the former are much prettier to look at, but some of the older graphics were pretty hilarious if I remember.

Listen this dude.
But choose Crystal instead.

And fuck you if there's no red Gyrados in your team and Poliwrath. And Cyndaquil.
Team water, ready, set, go!

edit:// I know Cyndaquil isn't water type, but, but..

greed
01-05-2010, 07:13 AM
I voted Gold, but Platinum or it's generation is also good.

As for starters, go for the Water dude, it's good in every gen. Grass and Fire both have weak points.

If we're going with the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum generation (unlikely? I dunnoVery likely, it seems), you may wish to choose Fire regardless.
There are only 2 Fire types in the whole game (initially) and while Ponyta/Rapidash isn't bad, they're available late in the game, if I recall correctly, leaving you without fire-support.

Pun fully intended.

Ryong
01-05-2010, 08:42 AM
1) Crystal.
2) Fire.
3) Any teams are fine, as long as they have the starter. You could try something absurd with, like, your starter + every Eevolution, but I'm okay with anything that keeps the starter.
4) Open-catching.

Revising Ocelot
01-05-2010, 09:18 AM
I owned Blue and Silver, but the internal batteries died in both games long ago so I can't play them now. I'll vote Platinum as I'd like to see the current generation, but my old games would be fine too.

EDIT: Oh, here come the memories... my first starter was Squirtle because I knew he evolved into Blastoise on the game cartridge + box, and I had to justify them! I spent ages wandering around Viridian Forest for a Pikachu because the anime had just started showing in the UK and apparently Pikachu was overpowered, never did find one though.
I caught a Magmar at some point. I was so proud.

I say go for Crystal, the second gens are probably my favorite and Crystal has all those extras.

Tev
01-05-2010, 11:52 AM
We need more votes for Red or Blue. Platinum is winning by a tiny margin.

Anyway Gen 1 combined is still beating the pants off of all the others.

Vauron
01-05-2010, 12:23 PM
Gen 4, don't care which. Also, build your team like a gym leader. By that I mean pick a theme and stick with it whenever possible.

I agree, should be fun. Maybe using only fluffy Pokemon... which're also pink.

Also my: Anything post 2nd gen, because I haven't played any of those yet.
And with the plant type Pokeyman or whatever I don't know what they called it in the English version. Heck. I don't even remember how they called it in the German version

Nikose Tyris
01-05-2010, 01:01 PM
Generation 1 is in the lead.


Would people be okay if I played the remakes instead of the Originals? The graphics are nicer for a let's play, is all. If you really want the original roms, though, that's fine.


[I also own pretty much every pokemon game hardcopy and do not endorse the use of roms at all ever of course.]

Edit: Also, going from what I'm reading, I'd like to play a theme, to make the game more interesting to me. Also, regardless of votes I'm getting a Raichu in here because fuck you he's my favourite.

Also, this will be done in a story-telling style, I think. Because that'll be fun for me as well.

Also, Blue is in the lead and I want Red so some people better start voting fucking red.

Tev
01-05-2010, 01:07 PM
I'm cool with the remakes because I've not seen them yet. Also, while I chose Blue, I'd not be angry with you for going Red because I like Mankey.

EDIT: I don't want to change my vote though because it would put Platinum in the lead.

Flarecobra
01-05-2010, 01:07 PM
I'd rather it be the classic ones. None of that "Special ability" stuff.

Nikose Tyris
01-05-2010, 01:12 PM
Blue: My special ability is to ignore your special abilities.
Red: FUCK YOU.

Mr.Bookworm
01-05-2010, 03:04 PM
I'm going to officially change my vote from Gold to Blue, because fuck Nikose. A distant secondary reason is that I got Blue when I was like six from my dad one random day, and I thought it was the most awesome thing ever. My entire team was made up of level 100s, I caught every single Pokemon you can catch in the one game, and the Hall of Fame data got corrupted from me playing it to much. Then I lost the fucking thing and now I can't find it.

Also, start with Charmander. Charmander is pretty fucking awesome too.

01-05-2010, 04:13 PM
I'm downloading both roms and comparing now. [FireRed is ridiculously similar to Regular Red, and if push comes to shove and I do choose FireRed, then I'll skip every non-Kanto Pokemon and be like "what the fuck, is some sort of hideous mutant, oh my gaaaawwwwwwd"

Honestly, I never had trouble with Brock, even the first time I played when I took Charmander and had no idea what I was doing.

Loyal

I don't think there are any TMs available before Brock, and Charmie gets it pretty early.

He also no longer gets Rage, and Rage is boring now anyway.

Tev
01-05-2010, 04:46 PM

Nikose Tyris
01-06-2010, 11:56 AM
My "Definites" based on what people are asking for, are Beedrill, Butterfree, Mankey, and Clerfairy. whether I'll use them constantly or abandon them when I'm finished with them, remains to be seen. [probably abandon.]

The epic journey to the power of Raichu will be documented slowly, however. There will likely be a Pichu egg appearing.

Speaking from experience, getting a Caterpie and training it to lv. 10 is about the easiest way to be Brock. Unless there's been a change, Charmander is the hardest to start with because of a disadvantage at the first two gyms, and no particular advantage against Lt. Serge. You don't really get going with fire until Erica and Koga.

And, as discussed, the point is moot because Fire Red allows Charmander to learn Metal Claw at level 13. So really, with a team of Charmander, Butterfree and Mankey, it'd be pretty damn hard not to win against Brock in Fire Red.

Yeah, that's enough of that, then. Mum said I had to go get a job today. Applying in Viridian City's PokeMart seems wise enough.

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode%202/4.png

Grab a potion before I go to hock for some cash, maybe grab a lemonade while I'm in town.

"Wait, I'm just getting a job right now! I can't afford to move out yet!"

"Well, it's too late now. We only own one bed, and I'm tired of sleeping on the rug down here. You're on your own from this point on, boy."

"Thanks for the message."

"Hey, I have an idea, let's never become rivals and constantly surprise each other with random fights, okay? Like, never ever. I don't ever want to challenge you in any way. If you want to be the greatest pokemon master of all time, I won't fuck with you. Deal?"

Well, Oak isn't home, so I may as well just head to Viridian City to try and get a job.

"What the hell?"

Oak: "I'm sending you boys on an errand or two. To accompany you so you're safe in the grass..."


http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode%202/22.png

"Just three?"
Oak: "I only have 3."

Oak: "We're on a tight budget. It's not like other labs get a bunch of extra rats or cats!"

01-11-2010, 10:50 PM
Actually, I always got a grass-type, trained it to learn Sleep Powder, and put the damn Abra out while we worked down on the health. It worked best in the earlier games, when after a Pokemon would wake up it would still have to wait a full turn to use another move, so I could put it to sleep again if needed. No such luck in the remakes, but it's still a less expensive method than chucking Pokeballs away.

The newer remakes have an easier way, thanks to special abilities. It takes a bit of a jaunt, but if you catch a Digglett, most of them have the Arena Trap ability, which does not allow teleporting away.

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode%203/19.png

Fenris: "I picked the wrong pokemon!"
Nikose: "I wouldn't say that. Shyria here clearly has a much higher base attack, then Squirtle, so brute-forcing the fight was the advantage. I'm sure once Squirtle gains some special attacks like water gun then-"
Fenris: "I'll just maker him fight more and toughen him up!"
Nikose: "Abuh?"
Fenris: "Smell ya later, Nikose, Gramps!"
http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode%203/20.png

As Fenris walks by, I deftly reach out and steal his wallet, taking $80 and tossing the wallet on the floor behind a bookshelf. I'm not one for theft but damnit, I need this money.

This was my first step into the grass.

So... any ideas on what our young hero should capture for his first 'mon? I know you don't really NEED to grab a Mankey, because Metal Claw Charmander... You gonna at least grab Pikachu? Misty is more of a bitch this gen because of stupid Water Pulse, so you can't just powergrind your way through like you could in Gen I.

We're playing Fire Red so Mankey doesn't show up until Route 3, which is after we beat Brock anyway. While he is going to have to pick one up, it won't be around for the Pewter Gym.

Wrong. You can get it between Viridian and the entrance to Indigo Plateau. It's always my first capture.

Tev

Wait....that's my bad. I keep forgetting that Route 22 is right next to Viridian City.

Yeah, The Route 22 Patch of grass is usually the first spot I head after I buy my first five Poke Balls.

But, as I mentioned in my last post, Mankey is not really necessary as Charmander learns Metal Claw, and there aren't really any other Gyms where it's necessary either. MAYBE Viridian near the end of the game, but by that point, you should have badass Gyarados or something equivalent to deal with the Rock/Ground/Poison types.

Route 22 is awesome because you can get a pretty solid team right there, you can catch a Mankee, a Spearow (I liked them better than pidgeys) and a Nidoran (TM whores they are). You should totally go there after you finish all your business else where. (Yeah I know you will, but I got nothing else to say) ()

Tev

I liked Spearow more as well. Mostly because Peck was a million times more useful that Gust.

01-26-2010, 12:53 AM
Gust is flying type now which makes Pidgey less useless.

Oh hey, if you can get a Butterfree to level 15, it learns Sleep powder. Combine that with its natural Compoundeyes ability and you have a reliable sleep move as effective as Spore.

Of course, Spore is naturally better, especially because better Pokemon like Smeargle and Breloom can have it.

Nikose, if you fail to get a Dratini in the Safari Zone, along with a Pinsir and a Kangashkan, I will hate you forever and ever and ever and ever. My team is always comprised of Dragons, and in Blue and Sapphire my teams were:

CHARIZARD ||||| DRAGONITE
DRAGONITE ||||| GARYDOS
GARYDOS ||||| ALTARIA
AERODACTYL |||| SALAMENCE
LAPRAS ||||||||| FLYGON
KABTOPS |||||||| RAYQUAZA

Oh, and Flair, if you're going to pull a webcomic, pull a proper webcomic. (http://www.zonanerd.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Biglett_by_Hail_NekoYasha.png) Also, feel free to do your own "The Truth About Diglett" image search on Google, if you ever need some good nightmare fuel.

However... Spearow evolves only once, and his evolution learns Drill Peck, which, as fans of Zapdos will tell you, roxorz your boxorz.

"This place is surprisingly roomy inside. Time to ask around for work or a new place to live... maybe a box?"

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode 4/3.PNG

"...So there could be work up the road, is what you're saying?"

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode 4/4.PNG

"Ugh, I don't work for charities. They always put me on phone lines."

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode 4/5.PNG

"I know, but I think I am more interested in this 'pokemart' business."

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode 4/6.PNG

"So both businesses can do that? Awesome! I'll work for the cash-based business model!"

http://parkercomics.com/letsplay/episode 4/7.PNG

"Thanks, I should probably check my email."

"GOD DAMN IT."

Fuck it, I'm out of here. Wonder where the pokemart is? Hey look, a kid!

Good. I want you to wring an update out of him no less than thrice weekly.

This game just went on hold until I can afford to pay for my website again.

Sorry to hear about the website.

Again, I gotta suggest Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTIzODMzNjg5). 2 free GB and you can link others to anything you put in the Public folder. Jump dump all your screenshots in there.

I think of few of the other Lets Plays are using it.

Doesn't matter as thanks to FenrisWolf, my website is back. :D Everyone give FenrisWolf your money now, as he is a hero and clearly didn't want this Let's Play to die.

My next post will be up once my website is back up. :D

The images are down because the website is down. When the images return, so does the let's play.

Could you perhaps use an free image hosting site like Tinypic.com to host your images?
