AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Sarcasm on the "caught a shiny" part.

In all fairness, I'd be daisies lucky if I found ANYTHING shiny! The only one I actually have met outside of online battles is the Red Gyarados of Gen2.

And I'll never be as lucky as RedChocobo, the one from the LPs I linked at the start, who caught the PokeRus in his lets play!

You mean by the one who didn't manage to get off Route 1?
In all fairness though, its a good sign an LP of Gen1 will suck when they miss out on the "tackling a ghost" part of the introduction.

Seriously: go watch the intro again! Note the move used! Gah!

I have pretty lousy luck when it comes to shiny Pokemon and the Pokerus. Prior to generation four, I never found a single shiny (red Gyarados excluded, of course; actually I didn't even catch that one), then suddenly I found three shiny Pokemon in Pearl. Two were a Machop and a Machoke. :/ The third was a high level Medicham that I found while I was traveling with one of those NPC partner guys who heals your Pokemon. It died, but I didn't really want it that badly anyway. Still never had the Pokerus.

My friend and his brother both have crazy luck with those, though. It just isn't fair.

Two Shinies; One Wurmple in Pearl and a Carvanha that I nicknamed 'SHINYYYYY' in a fit of joy. Both Female.

I somehow got pokerus...I think my Shaymin got it. I'unno. It spread to six of my pokemon. Ironic part was they were all Level 100.

But that's what's nice about having an Action Replay. :awesome:

Double Update Today: Gym Edition


We're off to see the Leader, the wonderful Leader of Ore-Gym!


A battle? Goddam, I was looking for a dispenser!
C'mon, Engie!


Y'know, I've got the feeling these two guys aren't going to be the bestest of friends.


ZUBAT SAPPIN' MAH GEODUDE!


Y'know, its a sign you need to work on your Pokemon when they manage to heal your opponent!


Blue-skinned boy vs constipated monkey! I'd normally have to pay to see this kind of entertainment!


All cower before the might of a flaming chimpanzee!


Ah yes, the mysetery of the Escape Rope. Nobody knows how to use it, it often makes you spin from confusion, but you'll still always somehow end up at the enterance of the cave. Hm?
...y'know, I can do without for one day.


FUCK how many of these daisies things are there in here?!


I think I've exausted all my jokes about killing Zubats at this stage.


Pokemon are banned in this place? Jeez, I mean I thought it was dangerous enough to be working in a coal mine, but you're not even allowed to defend yourself against Zubats and Geodudes?!


Y'know, its not much of a secret if you then send them out for show!


So let me get this straight: You saw a pokemon that looks like a red chimpanzee, only on fire. Meanwhile, you have a rock Pokemon thats completely immune to electricity. Ergo... you used a move that does nothing but reduce the power of electric attacks.


Goddam, why couldn't I just be fighting Bidoofs again? They've got to be smarter than you are!


Well I think about everyone saw that one coming.


Finally! The bird actually learns a flying move!

Now if only Zapuppy could learn an electric move, then my team might actually be able to fight properly...


Hm. Lets see. Trainer-type character, looking straight ahead, there's no way around him...
Yup, looks like its another battle for me!


Oh thank GOD! I'm actually allowed to pass without him trying to beat me to a pulp like everone else!

Also, whats with those rocks practically blocking the path there? You'd think someone would get them out of the way or something.
This place has no standards of work. No wonder the population in this city is so small!


I still say those coal funnels are a rip-off of the chocolate rivers! Goddam Oompa Loompas ruin everything they enocunter!


OH GOD! THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!


Oh awesome, more items!


Whoops. That was not the item ball I was trying to pick up!

Wait, what on earth is a fish's scale doing in a slag heap?! We're not even remotely near water, even!


Wow. A shard. That is yellow. Obviously the best item ever.


Hopefully thats the last of the trouble Zubats ever give me!


What is this, a 1970's information advertisement?
"Hey there Jimmy, have you ever wondered about what goes into coal mining? Ha ha ha, of course you haven't!"


Its... coal.

That's about it.

WONDERFUL MUSEUM YOU HAVE HERE!


We extract fossil, FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!


Hobbies include: smelling, cooking


OHLY CARP how did you figure that one out?!


Well, bollocks.


Ahahah, trainer! I'm not gonna fight you and your lousy Pokemon today!






Finger slipped, again.
I should really stop eating so much greasy food.


Aah, what? A pre-leader trainer that actually looks like a challenge!
But that's against the law, isn't it?


Your rock-fu is weak!


Y'know, with the amount of Awesome I seem to go through on a regular basis, I should really get a trademark on saying "Wootinary"!


AAAH, IT TALKED!


Oh.


OH!


Now it's a DANCING flaming monkey!



Wootinary(tm)!


FINALLY! Something that can actually do something against rocks!
I mean, my collective team moves were: normal, electric, flying, fire, bug, rock. What the hell was that supposed to do against the gym leader?!

This is like fighting Brock all over again!





Second update coming later today! Same Poke-time, same bat-channel!

WHOOOPS! Thanks to a forum outage, I wasn't able to do that second update! Sucks to be you, I guess.


Rock-bashing continues tomorrow. Its too late at the moment.

Ahh... I was wondering why I had to get a brain scan before I was allowed in.


Question: how does a bird growl?


THE GROWLS! THEY DO NOTHING!


He got smashed into gravel! They should call him Grav...el...er.
Hm.


AAAAH HOLY CRAP that thing is HUGE!


HOLY CRAP that thing is WEAK!


BACK TO HEALING!



BACK TO booty-KICKING!


Really? Geez, I never would've guessed that!


I thought as a gym leader, you just needed to kick booty?


SUPER pop flyin' JAPANESE FLASH FLASH EFFECT GO!


FUCK YEAH! FUCK! YEAH!


Wait, what? The underdog lost?

Every movie I have ever seen has lied to me...


Looks like he plans on going the distance in this match!


And by distance, I meant thrown length.

Owch.


Why, Hollywood; why must you lie to me so?


Do Geodudes even have blood? I mean, they are rocks after all, right?


Well okay, the movies were spot-on with that one. But stone instead of wood is a bit... unorthodox.


Welp, I'm boned!


AHAHAH! WE ARE INVINCIBLE! NOTHING CAN TAKE US-

Ah.

Well, so far, I'm four Pokemon down and two left. While my opponent has about... 1hp of team health knocked off of him.


Stare, Zapuppy! Stare into his soul! Make him learn the error of his ways...

And then EAT HIM!


Well........... Bollocks.


Whoo-ee! If he hadn't evolved just the match before this, I would've been in a lot of trouble here!


I often wonder where I came up with the phrase "wootinary". What is it? Is it a mix of "woot" and "canary"? Is it a horrible spelling of "woot in air, why"? What does it mean?! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

Meh.

One down, two to go.


Geez man, an Onix? My level 5 Geodude could probably take down an Onix! Get a real Pokemon already!


OH GOD MY EARS! I'M BLEEDING OUT MY EARS! WHAT KIND OF POKEMON TRAINER WOULD TEACH IT SUCH A THING?!


Well that neatly sums up what happened in the screenshot I missed.


Wait
HOLY FUCK HE HAS A YOSHI!


Ahahah! He's nearly dead in one punch! What kind of lame-

OH JESUS CHRIST!


OH JEEZUS CHRIIIIIIST!!


Oh. It still dies in one hit anyway. Well that was anticlimactic.


Today's weather forecast indicates heavy Wootinary across the battle.


With a strong chance of a downpour of Awesome.


You got your booty handed to you by a dancing monkey. Yes. Yes it is.


You're the first gym battle. You'll ALWAYS lose to people without a gym badge!


Oh... wow... a piece of coal... totally worth the effort.


Ah, its an actual badge! Woo!

Also, learn to use metal instead of something flammable. It'll last longer.


Excellent. My Pokemon are now slightly less retarded than before!


Woo for free stuff!


Teach it to an Onix and I can call it Solid Snake!


I should totally get a bumper sticker saying "I'm a fan of the Pokemon Gyms' Caretaker!"


And so, having gained his first badge, Dude continues on his journey to become a Pokemon Master. With high hopes in mind, he carries on to Floaroma Town. But he's not the only unexpected visitor there, as mischief arrives at the Valley Windworks!



Fun fact: the narrator in the Pokemon games and anime is voiced by the same guy who does Odin in the Valkyrie Profile PSP port. Now you know where that disembodied voice is really coming from!
Even better: for a while, when 4kids was still running the show, they had a different narrator - Dr. Robotnik! You can't make this shit up!

What the hell? My mortal enemy narrated a kid's show?

FFFFFFFFFF-

HAHAAAAAHAHA.

Well that's how you worded it anyway.

What new adventures does Plasma have for us next!

Wait, Valkyria Chonicles had a PSP port? Or are you referring to a different game?

Zink wrote:Wait, Valkyria Chonicles had a PSP port? Or are you referring to a different game?

When I said Valkyrie Chronicles, I actually meany Valkyrie Profile. My bad.

I liked the narrator in the Pokemon Stadium games. He always pronounced the Pokemon's names wrong.

Water wrote:I liked the narrator in the Pokemon Stadium games. He always pronounced the Pokemon's names wrong.

Ah yeah, I remember him. He really was terrible.

When I said "games and anime", I actually should've said "game and anime". He only did PBR (which was actually really well done)

Nice captions, Plasma.
....so, i herd u liek mudkipz..

Hey guys, WiFi event time for us Europeans! Pre-update Wootinary!


Oh hey, its a Secret Key distributed freely over WiFi. You know what that means, right?
...


Oh I do so love memorable videogame quotes!


Y'know, they could've done a better job at keeping it cryptic.
"It may be at Eterna City. Y'know. There's a good chance it will be. But I'm not saying where it is because I'm that sneaky!"


Y'know, I've often wondered. Why do PokeMarts have doors that are practically half the size of the wall its on? That must be very impractical!


I have to question as to how you know that considering we've only just met!


Geezus, this is my first time entering this building in my life. How long were you waiting here for me?


Secret Key! Mystery of Rotom! Now free wtih every delivery made with FedEx!


Y'know, I've always found the Mystery Gift service very... suspicious. I mean, in Pearl, I once had a Darkrai delivered to me. A DARKRAI! I mean, with that kind of power, the delivery dude would be able to just keep it for himself and practically conquor a whole country with it!


Healing and team-changing.

Well I wouldn't be a proper trainer if I had 6 Pokemon in my party, now would I? Only those towards the Victory Road side of things do that!


ONWARDS! TO VICTORY!


I should probably read up on what a Rapidash is before I get one.


BACKWARDS! TO ETERNA CITY!


Hey look! A little kid in a rubber suit!


Woo. More Pokemon to add to my coll-

Well That's not fun. That's, like, the exact opposite of Wootinary!


STAY IN THE BALL, MOTHERFUCK!


A Superpower Pokemon? New theory: Superman actually has ball-shaped Machops for eyes!


Point to Meatloaf of Darkness.


Godblasted! If I knew there was a rival battle coming up, I would've brought Mr. Bidoof along to finally prove all his Pokemon can be beaten by it!


"Whoops, you got the gym badge"? What, you were trying to stop me from getting it?! Goddam, I am so sick of your mafia business!


Right, thats three mentions of that I need to go to Eterna City so far. Why did the narrator say Floaroma town then?


THE NARRATOR IS A SPY!


So... you want to go to Eterna City... so you'll go to Jubilife instead?

Logic according to McPants.


He went in the cave. Oh god, I'm going to have to follow him in. Here's to hoping he doesn't molest me in there!


Oh hey, I didn't notice this passage before. Lets diverge from the plot to follow it down! I'm getting withdrawl symtoms from the lack of time being wasted. Dawn hasn't popped up in quite a while!


Steroids actually has a use!


Oh hey, there was a duck behind that boulder! A duck whose arms are too small to do something with that ridiculous hair-do!

That must be torment!


Well... Steroids had a use.


Desperate ducks call for desperate measures!


ITS A HIGH-SCHOOL TEACHER!


The most unimaginative name possible!
Heck, its not even original either; someone in Jubilife City already named their Psyduck this!


Remember folks, the size of your bird DOES matter!


Oh hey, it's another HM. I was expecting something more-

Wait, TM Flash? Well that's interesting in two ways:
1: Is Flash just another word for Pluto?
2: Does it mean that HMs aren't restricted to certain moves, but are actually just unlimited versions of TMs? Because that would be a HUGE cheddar-saver!


MORE BATTLES!

Oh that is not fair!



AHH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING! ITS LIKE A ZUBAT DESIGNED BY LOVECRAFT!


I plan on keeping you in that ball for as long as I can. Nothing personal, I just really hate your guts. Kay?


That bat is five foot tall. THAT BAT IS THE SIZE OF A HUMAN! DEAR GODS!


Don't ask.


Oh... brilliant... a completely dead end. Fantasticular.


I came to the conclusion that getting out of a cave is not something worth posting about.


Oh awesome, a Psychic Pokemon! But why do I get the feeling I should be immensely angry at it?


Oh, yeah, that's why.


Aw man, if that was two squares to the right, I could've made a joke about how bad a Repel is that you can find it in wild grass.


Finally, back on dry Concrete! I'm getting sick of all this "grass" I keep floating on.

Oh hey, that's Looker!


Huh? But what about McPants? He's part of the mafia y'know.
Or did he not make it back? Nah, no way that'd happen; there's no god out there that merciful.


Because, as we all know, its impossible for a kid to be committing crimes.


Emergency pit-stop healing! Finally, Steroids can breathe again!

Evolve Shinx already, and kick booty with Luxio.

Electric puppy get.
