AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Hay guyz, lets start off this chapter with ANOTHER WIFI EVENT!


The Member Card this time. Its the item used that lets you be able to catch Darkrai, who'se my favourite Legendary Pokemon of all!
It actually came out a week ago, but I just kept forgetting to claim it.


Unfortunately, to actually be able to catch it, you need to have beaten the Elite Four and filled your Sinnoh Dex. So we won't actually get to see it until towards the very end of this LetsPlay.


Incidentally, how long ago was it since I got the Rotom Wonder Card anyway?


Seriously? Over two months ago? Man, it feels like it was just yesterday... Well, I suppose that was 6 chapters ago...

I put waay too much work into this LP than I should have. I base that on the fact that I have put in dozens of hours into this, but have yet to get laid because of it. Mebbye girls just aren't interested in a guy who spends all his time playing Pokemon...
Naaah, that's nonsense talk! It must be because I don't have that Darkrai yet!


So its, once again, back to the PokeMart.

Y'know, thinking about it, I never came across any point in a Pokemon game when I didn't have enough cheddar for something. Although that might be because I actually hate using items, for whatever reason. Probably because of... a fear... of wasting cheddar.....



Hmm...


Once again, despite having never met me and me being constantly moving, the deliveryman knows just what shop I'm going to go into next. I swear, it's like Big Brother here!


A... Member's Card? I thought it was a Member Card. Y'know, a card for members, not a card owned by a member.



DICK JOKES!


Yyyyup, its a typo alright!

Wait, isn't that inn in Canalave City the one with the door rusted shut? You're telling me a card alone is somehow meant to open that? And it's from 50 years ago, so you can't pull that MAGICAL COMPUTER POWERS crap.


While we're here, lets stock up on everything, ever! I don't want to turn out like Scrooge McDuck! I don't wanna be a upstanding member of society!


I... didn't actually notice this port on the way in.

You mean I could've just surfed my way into this town, instead of having to go through heavy blizzards and and entire mountain? God DAMNIT!


Wukong is, at this point, becoming something of a HM slave.

Its not really a good sign when that happens to your starter Pokemon. But at this point, its all he's good for.


Yes, a powerful flaming monkey's sole use is to climb a steep hill.


Well that... was... unexpected. What, the Grim Reaper got his robe caught in a bramble when he was collecting his souls?




And I finally arrive at the lake to find McPants already engaged in conversation... for the last 5 updates or so!


Err... oh right... I should leave you two lovebirds alone...


Yeah. The icy north of... a tropical island? Either way, its not a good place to do your stuff...


...

See that line? That line means that I'll have to go there to progress the story! In other words, the game is deliberately trying to set me up as a massive pervert!


...

MORE DICK JOKES!


Well someone doesn't appreciate my humour! Hmph!


Toastdamnit, Wukong, you even suck as a HM slave!
I knew I should've chosen That Fucking Penguin...


Hm. Apparently, I even need a Pokemon that knows Rock Climb to be able to go down a slope. This really is a cop-out of epic proportions.


Y'know, I didn't actually say it yet, but these snow route has one of the best tunes in a Pokemon game!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7bPQTpC ... re=related
In my opinion, at least. It comes second in greatest Route music across the series, second only to Route 225!


And once again, despite not even getting in a battle since last time, I still need to visit the PokeCenter.


And also once again, Staravia gets the place of 6th Pokemon on my team for about 5 seconds, tops.


Also also once again, I'm backtracking once more! Man, game, you're meant to be a game! That means once you do something in an area, you should never have to come back to it again! What do you think you're trying to do;


Oh for the love of-
This game just does not want me to get rid of my starter Pokemon!


Oh wait, nearly forgot! Since I have rock climb...


MORE SPONTANEOUS TRAVELLING!


MORE SPONTANEOUS MONKEYING AROUND!


MORE SPONTANEOUS... cycling on the back of a climbing Pokemon? How the hell did I do that?


Ohshit, its a bird! That's got a fucking musical note for a head!


I possess a strong desire to capture this Pokemon for my own usage.


Oh c'mon, that bird is 15 levels below PsyGuy! How does it KO him so easily?


And now its using Roosevelt's own moves against him! This bird is just one bastardly move after another!


Oh yeah, and if you think its okay that I caught it after only 4 screenshots, this is also after about 12 balls of different varieties! What I didn't know at the time is that Chatot actually have a really low catch rate making him a bast to catch!



Of course, its nothing compared to trying to catch a Beldum! It will only appear on certain days, which on average only happen once every... 30 days IIRC, it's got the lowest Catch Rate in the game, on part with Arceus! Only, its in a sandstorm that'll knock your Pokemon's HP down by 1/16 every turn, and its sole move is one that damages itself so that actually getting it at a low HP is going to make it kill itself!

If there's going to be one challenge in this game that I'll want to do, its catch a flipping Beldum!


Umm... isn't human speech made by lips and vocal chords on top of that?


It has the tail of a metronome... but still can't actually learn the move. Cop-out!


Oh whoop! Now I can... umm... scare away Pokemon that I intend to catch?

Roar is actually more useful for competitive play than it is for scaring away wild Pokemon, like you'd expect. In a trainer battle, it makes the opponent Poke switch out and replace it with a random Pokemon of the trainer's party. In competitive play, that can be really useful.


Ah yes, Aerial Ace. The flying move that can be taught to anyone. Because the developers really wanted to make a point that Flying Pokemon are useless!


Here's where I was trying to get to with Wukong. I would've gotten here a lot sooner if it wasn't for that bastardly bird!


A... sun stone? Seriously? As in, the sun is meant to be one giant rock in this game?


Wait, is there a sun in this game? I mean, I don't know, since I can't actually look up for whatever reason. But when there's moves like Sunny Day and Solar Beam that somehow work inside...


Ah yes, Dream Eater. Everyone's favourite move, for whatever reason. Probably because eating people's dreams IS MADE OF AWESOME! Plus its a very powerful attack that heals you by a lot.


I think I'll head back... the other way to Veilstone City. Maybe because its shorter, maybe because it has more long grass, or maybe, just maybe, I really hate that bastardly bird!


GOD FUCKING DAMNIT IT DIDN'T MATTER WHICH WAY I WENT!!


I don't know why I don't do this more often!



Oh yeah. Because I still have to actually catch a Bibarel.


Ahhh, remember Back Then? When I couldn't decide which path to take here? Oh, good times!



Well, alright, it wasn't that long ago. Maybe I'm stretching out the whole Nostalga element a little too much!


Oh hey, I didn't actually get this item! I forgot about that. It better be worth it!


...

Oh yay. Now I can be a hippie. Woo.


So anyway, next episode? Expect 200% more idiocracy, as I try invade their HQ. Again. And I think we all know that I'm gonna end up doing it by waltzing through the front door!

Fix'd

You can't say that! You've had four boyfriends already! That's 5 more than most Pokemaniacs!


"No hotlinking aloud" fail!

The trick is not to tell them. Then they ditch you when they realise 'wtfwhydidiagreetothis'.

I wouldn't do that.

But then again.

I am a nerd too. >.>

This...is...epic

My two favorite things... Video games and guitar mixed epicly

EDIT:I just noticed that Crush Bandicoot has rainbow blood, I think he might have caught the gay...

Finally I made an account here. I've been lurking for a LONG time. -_- jeez I sound like a stalker. anyway I love your lets play plasma.

Thank you for teh link, I will now be using this for all my Epic DoW battles.

I think the Rainbow Blood and Smile the stick figure wears when he shoots himself is just for lol.

I approve of that Route music. Fits the area very nicely, except for when you spend all your time walking slow in the snow.
Just a little.....to.....slooowww...

Hmm... well since they're attached to a radar dish, I'm gonna go ahead and suggest "for

receiving data".

Incidentally, those two dishes are the only two such things I've seen so far in Sinnoh. But why?

Don't tell me these bunch of nitwits are actually the richest company on the entire island...


Oh geez, this is like having a conversation with my ex...


Storage key? But I didn't mention anything about a...

Oh no...


GODDAM LOOKER! NO! I am not interested in going through their warehouse! Unless they

keep the legendary Pokemon in an unmarked wooden crate.


Yeah, umm, see, the warehouse? Its a different building to this one. That means that it is

not where we want to go!


I really flipping hate this plot! It never actually just lets me go where I'm supposed to be going

without going through several sideplots along the way!


Okay, accidentally giving away your entire plan, I can stand. But now you're giving away free level-up items right outside your doorstep? That's like... That's like...



Every final boss, ever.


Except, oddly enough, the Pokemon games!
What the hell?!


Actually, for perhaps the first time in the game, you arrived at just the right time.


And for the first time in the game, someone else is going in first! Sure, its a 99% guarantee that they'll get captured and I'll have to rescue them, but its still the thought that count.


Oh yay, another- wait, a dusk stone? How exactly are you meant to make a stone out of a time of day?!
Or is it meant to be a kidney stone passed by a Pokemon caught in a Dusk Ball?

Ew.


Ah... please tell me you're just stopping me to have a chat with tea, and you don't actually have Pokemon left over from-


...
Toddamnit Looker, you didn't even beat the first grunt? I mean seriously, I didn't even know it was possible to do that! I sorta assumed that if you did lose that badly, their Pokemon would kill themselves to prevent the fabric of reality from breaking!


Yeah... there's nothing to fear here. Except for bad hairstyles!

What you need is an awesome beret! They're always stylish, rite?


With all my, like, invading and Pokemon slaughtery and stuff. Totally not cool, bro!


Oh woo! Wukong finally reached level 36! You know what that means, right guys?






Umm... that wasn't what I meant. Why are we still battling?





There we go! Now, any last-minute guesses as to what redeeming, relatively awesome creature he's gonna-

Nah, we all know he's gonna evolve into something retarded. Like his hair has gone all white and his breain is, like, on fire or something.





.....this entire update is made from retards. Compressed retards.


Hmm. Well, while I'm no chessmaster or anything, I'm gonna try out "continue on this one-way corridor". That generally works for me.


...
I almost feel sorry for him now...
I mean sure, it does mean that he doesn't have any Pokemon that get utterly trounced at the first sign of a tresspasser in the area, but


Desecrating the hall with... footprints! And oh god, if you so much as laid one finger on that new wallpaper...


Your pussy is making my monkey really hot!


OHGODOKAY I WON'T SAY THAT AGAIN!


Oh yeah, he learned Close Combat at level up. A 120 power move that lowers both your defence stats.

So yeah. As it turns out, Wukong does have a use: he's brilliant at punching kittens!


Aw... FUCK NO! I REALLY FUCKING HATE WARP PANELS!
Seriously! Worst form of travel ever! And they're even slower than flying several miles away, for some reason.


Hah! I snatched the Snatch TM from their base!


Didn't I already make this joke back at the other HQ?


Seriously, you too? What is it with people here and their wallpapers?


Look, if oyu ask me, I stll propose that scientists should not have Psychic Pokemon! It goes against every rule of RPGs!


Right. For those that don't know, this item is the object form of what is formally known as HAXX!!!!1. It is saught after by all CounterStrike players everywhere.


Right. For those that don't know, this item is a key.

Yeah, there's actually nothing special at all about this key. Which makes it entirely different from every other object in the game!


Oh yeah, and naturally enough, it opens the door right next to it. Real intricate puzzle there, Galaxy Gang!


Yeah, may as well take the door shortcut to the Pokemon Center while I can.


I'm true to my word! At least, whenever it involves going to a PokeCenter. And... actually, that's about all I do in this game anymore!


Oh fantabulous, now I'm even having my battles in the PokeCenter! This is just getting out of hand now!


Oh yeah, Roxy and Oli! Backstory: since one of the translators was someone from SomethingAwful, he named one of the characters Roxy, after the LetsPlay I mentioned at this LP's introduction. He chose this one because it was the only trainer with a Wooper, which Roxy had as a pseudo-starter Pokemon.


At least, that was the case in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. In Platinum, she has a Kirlia and goes down faster than a sack of Shinx!


Wukong gets left behind, yet again, as I prepare for yet another flying journey! Just as long as there's no warp panels involved in this one!


Back to Canalave City! See, I'm here for the Move Relearner.
To be more specific, now that I have the Dream Eater TM, I want it to replace Blissey's Hyper Beam. But since that was a TM move too, it can't be forgotten unless I go to the Move Deleter and...


Or, y'know, I could over-teach it the normal way. Well what the hell was the entire point on the Move Deleter?

I could've sworn TM moves couldn't be overridden normally..

plasma, let it be know that i hate you for making me want to play pokemon again

HM moves can't be overridden normally. TMs are fine.

Apparently, Looker doesn't realize what the first rule of supervillany is.
"If the hero walks right into your base, leave him be."
