I'm still reading all this up to page 30 lol.. long ways to go, thinking of doing arts but then i forget what was so funny to draw 10 minutes later >< I'm bad. Overall it's pretty funny, loved the McPants SPASM-DANCE! lol got me locked into reading. If you do appreciate art I'll look into finding a moment worthy of drawing

Well, that was epic. And it took me days to completely read it. I'm seriously impressed by the amount of dedication this must've taken, Plasma. I don't think I could do an LP of an RPG the size of Cockfighting Society.

I don't think I could do an LP of any game at all.

Should I try it some day? It seems like fun.

Anyway... Awesome work, and awesome read!

When you're done you got to make some comments on your Let's Play, aswell as putting up your favourite screenshots.

For the end of this LP, you must fight the WORST RETIRED TRAINER OF ALL TIME.

AAAAAAA.

PROMOTIONS FOR EVERYONE!

Apparently Arceus was actually from Final Fantasy?

Umm...

Actually, I'm not really sure what's left to do now...

I mean, I just physically beat up god. Where can you go from there?

Hmm...

Oooh, I know what to do next!

Woop! Last cave - ever!

Okay these "last X" things don't really work when I'm 10 screenshots away from finishing the LP.

I could start a countdown!

...but I won't, because that's even worse.

SPONTANEOUS DIALOG CHANGE!

As far as I know, that's because the savegame I cribbed when my computer crashed (bodaciously) had everything ever complete (fivestars on the trainer card), so it's most likely something around that.

I'd also like to point out how ridiculous "you want the usual" is for a PokeCenter.

Gawsh, so polite!

Unnervingly polite...

(She's up to something, I know it!)

Oh ho, seems like they didn't change the "I hope your Pokemon get beaten up to the point of needing medical attention" line though!

Y'know, I never commented on it before, but... why does that bird have visible ears?

Anyway, my grand master plan is... RELAXING!

And... fishing.

Actually, I think I'll take this time to talk about the whole LetsPlay for a minute.
First, generic thanks to all the readers (except you, ManGuy, you suck!). Second, this was hard work/took a lot of time/really required effort/etc. Look, you hear all that stuff all the time, so...
Third, I actually learned a LOT more about Pokemon when doing this LetsPlay. When I started, I thought Pokemon was a really fun game, but I really didn't get the whole complexity of the game until I had to do a lot more research for this. And now I'm a Pokemon maniac! It also showed a lot when reading back through the LetsPlay. At the start, I was very much focused on the personality of Dude above else, whereas I later got progressively more and more involved in talking about the game itself. I didn't actually notice that at all when I was writing it! (hey, remember when I started off saying I wouldn't use guides? Heh)
Fourth, as you might have noticed if you were reading the episodes as I posted them, I tended to get progressively slower and slower at making updates (remember at the start when I was updating every day?). It had a lot to do with university, and projects, and... me getting lazy - at least for the end when I kept going on small hiatuses. But in any case, next time I do a LetsPlay, I'm going to write it all at once before uploading it, instead of the usual update-as-I-go-along method. It'll also mean each episode will be consistent, time-wise.
Fifthully, this LetsPlay holds some significance on this forum, actually. It was the first LetsPlay on it at all, and it kick-started a huge wave of forumers doing LPs here; that's quite an achievement, actually! It's also the first LP here to actually be completed, as well as the only LP to date that's actually worth reading. Ever. True story! Especially not this one, nosiree!
And finally...

Oh. A bite!

And thus ends a truly amazing LP.

Maybe I should do one, seeing as summer is finally here.

This LP was the most amazing one I've seen in a long time.

It inspired me to create an Emerald Letsplay I never finished, nor do I intend to as I'm too busy with Republic Commando.

Still, the ending was incredible.

As soon as you started fishing in the resort, I knew exactly how it was going to end.
It was still the best LP.
Also, I think a long while back in the pokemon general thread you said you'd hold a PBR tournament in the summer.

The ending made me d'awww for some unknown reason.
It's kind of like "and the adventure continues!" only not.
