I was inspired by Omni's X-Com antics using our names, so I booted up FireRed on VisualBoy and starting naming my pokemon after you guys! Hooray!
I'm playing with the same rules Candy's using on his hard run: you are only allowed to capture the first pokemon you encounter in an area and if a pokemon faints, it "dies" and is no longer able to be used. Thus a lot of you are probably going to die.
Why would I name my character anything else?
I considered naming my rival after one of you guys, but no one was annoying me at the time, so I just went with the obvious choice.
Yeah, I know, Oak. I want a pokemon. Hence me venturing forth. Seriously, how unsafe can a few Rattata be?
HELL YES I HAVE. I love water starters. Hell, I love water pokemon.
HMM A FEMALE TURTLE POKEMON. I WONDER WHO I'M GOING TO NAME IT AFTER.
Did you really have to go through ten lines of text to let me know I'd be figuring this one out on my own?
Naturally. It'd be one helluva short run if I lost.
So I head to Viridian like a good little trainer. Pick up Oak's Balls at the mart (not pictured), then headed over to the pokecenter.
Did this line ever seem off to anyone else? By hoping to see you again, she's hoping your pokemon will get hurt. Either she's an extremely obsessive pedophile (your character is like 10, after all), or she secretly loathes pokemon.
Anyways, I run back to Oak's place, drop off the package, and get some balls:
Geez. Well at least a girl's not handing me my balls like in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. That was just embarassing.
Oak gives me and that douche to my left pokedexes, as usual.
...so you're living vicariously through two ten-year-old boys. Creeeepy.
So after that douche assures me that his sister will not give me a map, I promptly collect one from her (after screwing her offscreen, I'm sure). Then I notice this:
Now, I was playing this fullscreen, but even at this size, it's pretty obvious that that picture is sure as shit not a Clefairy. I hate modern art.
Anyways, it's time to go get my first pokemon! For Route 1 I get...
Pidgey! Who, of course, gives me no trouble.
If they're so docile, why do so damn many of them keep attacking me?
Now, who gets to be the namesake for this guy?
I EVEN SPELLED IT RIGHT LOL.
Unfortunately, before even gaining a level...
You have failed me, SWORKILL.
Anyways, time to drop his limp, dead Pidgey body off in...
...some random guy's computer. Seems reliable enough.
I like to make sure my loyal pokebros are in a better place after they leave this world.
SWORKILL failed me so miserably, though, that I felt I had to send him somewhere else. Moving on...
What Old Man is saying:
What my mind processes it as:
Anyways, on to Route 2, where I can find a replacement for SWORKILL...
Another Pidgey! I almost always ended up with a Pidgey in my final party in the Kanto games, so I'm really not complaining. Unfortunately, this one's a level 2 and is likely to get killed, so I name her after someone I don't really care about: DEVVY. I'm sure she was wonderful, but it's hard to give a shit when I never actually knew her. Regardless, she actually survives her first few battles and levels up (which is more than I can say for a certain other pokemon...).
Anyways, I head back down to Viridian because I remember that in my younger days I had a POTION addiction and I used to store them in my computer so Mom wouldn't find out. Unfortunately, this is the last of my stash...
TRAGEDY STRIKES!
Three EXP from level four, DEVVY takes a crit from another pidgey and bites the dust. It was actually a real shame; I was just beginning to get attached to her...
All good pokemon go to Heaven (i.e. those that level like they're supposed to >:C)
Okay, one more try at that whole not killing my pokemon thing. Lots of useful pokemon in Viridian Forest. All I want is a Caterpie, anyways.
Fuck you, FireRed. I didn't want Dicks McHarden. I wanted something that I could actually train.
Oh well, rules are rules. I'll deal with you later.
I name it after INU.
Well, l've got one more shot at a useable pokemon before I go hit Brock. I check out Route 22 and find...
YESSSSSS. MANKEY.
MINE.
I seem to have continually forgotten to screencap me nicknaming these guys. I named Mankey DESTRUCTIN.
Anyways, back into Viridian Forest, this time to clear it out.
He's right, you never can have too many balls.
Bug Catcher. What a wanker.
Wait, Poison Sting? Shit, that has a chance to...
...poison. Shit, I always forget to stock up before I head here. I finish off the Bug Catcher easily, then procede immediately back to the Viridian Pokecenter (using a potion on the way). I then head for the Pokemart...
While this sounds like a good idea right now, I have the strangest feeling I'm going to come to regret it later when I'm broke.
This'll do. Back to Viridian Forest (again).
Wow, I feel like a dick now.
BEST. BATTLE. EVER.
Anyways, I head to Pewter, heal up, and proceed immediately to the gym. I don't need that dick stopping me from leaving the city to tell me where it is.
Those who can't do teach, I suppose. You're still useless.
Better plan, how about I take myself to the top?
I will sell your organs on the black market.
Actually I'm really only about 5 yards from him, but whatever floats your boat, I guess...
And thus, Brock's fate was sealed.
NEXT TIME: SUPER GYM BATTLE NUMBER ONE! BROCK THE PUSHOVER!
Also feel free to claim the next set of names. I'll probably get 2 or 3 before the next update.
