Pokemon Yellow (Day 6)

So it looks like I forgot ANOTHER thing about Pokemon in regards to how things progress. It's Celadon first, THEN Lavender. Ah well, at least I was able to get some more training done. Guess who I saw in the Pokemon Tower?

Thaaaat's right. I took the liberty in beating him, 'cause I'm already tired of him.

And this is why we need to go to Celadon first, lest we run into the generic ghosts...

 

...that you can't even catch! Argh!

On the way to Celadon via underground tunnel.

Alright! We made it, now let's go waste all our money.

If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't have questioned the Rocket guy standing in front of the poster in the Game Corner. Honestly.

No kidding.

Oh look, it's these clowns our friends!

We even paid a visit to Giovanni, he wasn't too thrilled to see us though.

Oh, and I beat her too.

Can't forget Eevee! It's kinda weird that you're supposed to take it without asking first...

Can't forget Fly! Probably one of the biggest time savers in the game.

Gotta put Marowak's soul to rest, too bad it dodges Pokeballs.

So close to the Poke Flute, only to discover that Team Rocket's back.

At last, the Poke Flute!

The Team Rocket thing got annoying quick, but it wasn't near anywhere as bad as the Zubat problem I encountered the other day. Lavender Town is such a depressing place, which is why I hate being there for any amount of time. Thankfully, it's a quick area to get through.

Tomorrow we get to deal with Sabrina, hopefully without much in the way of distractions. See you then!

Quickie - Hot Throttle!

Back again with another pixelated quickie, but this is no game. No sir, definitely not a game, as it better falls under the category of nightmare fuel. Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's a screencap of the splash screen:

This... I really don't know what to say. It's like... Aw hell, you're an insanely sweaty pink guy (sweat not pictured) who thinks he's a car, and you have to race these other cars. Play it here if you dare: http://games.adultswim.com/hot-throttle-twitchy-online-game.html

Alright, I don't even care about your score this time around, but I would like to know if you're able to sleep later.

New Blog!

I've gotten quite a few e-mails lately asking me what kind of music I listen to. Instead of replying with a massive list of names, why not make a blog about it?

Pokemon Yellow (Day 5)

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who's been following along. I'm thrilled at how many of you have been joining me for the ride through old and newer games alike. Maybe a YouTube channel for Let's Plays is in my future?

Second... I hate how many dead ends there are in caves, especially when you're out of repels!

You know what sucks even more? Having to backtrack because you forgot to pick up HM05.

That's right folks, I forgot about Rock Tunnel. Clearly it's been way too long since I've played this. You know what else I forgot?

Bulbasaur! Damn! Spent a little time training it into an Ivysaur just so it wouldn't feel left behind. Here's my current team as well:

Oh, and you know what else I forgot? Road's closed. Always. Crap.

Alright, so I've lost my touch over the years, but I will say this: Yellow is just as fun as I remember it, stupid dead ends and all. Tomorrow (later today, technically) I'll make my rounds in Lavender Town, then I'll be headed over to Celadon's gym so I can raise my level cap again.

Quickie - Pipedreamz!

Here's an interesting game you can waste some time on: Pipedreamz! It appears to be a game about an individual who's only goals are to successfully flip burgers, eat mass quantities of meat, and surf. In a strange way, this game almost makes sense... Almost.

How high can you score?

Pokemon Yellow (Day 4)

Hey Everybody!

I took the day off on Sunday to catch up on some sleep, but we're back and in full swing. I've been grinding like a madman to keep my team as near as possible to the level 30 limit that the Cascade Badge gave me. Good news though! I've gone ahead and defeated Lt. Surge with this Diglett (now Dugtrio) I found. It was a disappointing battle, to say the least, as the super effectiveness of Dig on Raichu was a one-hit kill.

Alright! Welcome to Vermillion City! Too bad we don't have Cut yet.

If memory serves, we should be able to find HM01 amongst other things on the S.S. Anne...

Well, I was partially right. We found this asshole!

After demolishing Gary and rubbing the captain's back, we can wave the ship goodbye.

Back to the Gym we go, only to find that Surge has just one Pokemon to fight us with.

Here's my current team:

And last but not least, here's my current Pokedex standing:

Went back for some more grinding to get Squirtle into a Wartortle, and just as a general way to get everyone's level up to par. Tomorrow we'll find out what Celadon has in store for us.

Pokemon Yellow (Day 3)

Alright! So a little progress was made today. Made it from Pewter to Cerulean in no time, but now I remember why I hate going in caves. Zubats. Everywhere. It was funny at first, but smiles quickly turned to frowns every three steps. I took advantage of the opportunity and ground out some experience points for my party. I try to make sure I have my team as evenly leveled as possible, since it'll make important battles a bit easier.

This gets old, very fast.

Found a Clefairy though, so that was pretty cool. I still hate Mt. Moon.

Here's where I'm currently at, this'll be fun to get through.

So far on my Pokemon Yellow adventure, I'm two badges in and my team is assembling quite nicely. I'm thinking that I should try to fill up my Pokedex as much as possible, but maybe do that after I beat the Elite Four? What do you think I should do?
