AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Really? I thought they were either hands that were shrugging or human ears.

Weeaboos are a strange creature that confuses the likes of tougher men.

Looks like I'm getting back into my old habit of one-a-day structures! I say it's because of new girlfriend!


Well that journey was an utter waste of time! I'm going home...


Hey guys, lets make bets. Will she:
A: Look like a stunning beauty who won that competition fair and square.
B: Look exactly like every other girl wearing a bathing suit!


Seriously, if I didn't know any better, I'd be swearing that there's only 5 people in the country, and they just love moving around a lot!


Okay, see that? THAT is a fish! Not that Seaking thing! Seriously, Seaking looks like the love child of a unicorn and a salmon!


O...kay. Its not a very good fish. That was dissapointing.


And now Anti-Grav is a part of the team! And Epilepsie goes back to being the reject of the five-man band. Sorry dude!


That's because nobody challenges you out here! The only ones here are NPCs, which don't move, and wild Pokemon, who only attack when you move!





Hm. On careful reconsidration, Tentacruel are indeed BASTARDS!


Oh how fantastical. This blasted water route has left me down to two bloody Pokemon. And this is a route where all my Pokemon have move-type advantages!


Actually, that's because it's... sorta dead. I'm just using its KO'd corpse as a buoyancy device!


FUCK YOU SEAKING! I just want to get past in peace!






FUCK YOU TOO, TENTACRUEL! I am now left with only Rotom, damnit!


Aaaand now I'm stuck in between two different trainers. This day is filled with nothing but Crap!


Really weak opponents, and crap!


HOLY CRAP! A REAL LIVE OCTOROCK!


Aaand once again, Rotom goes on a level-spree because its the only capable Pokemon. I really wish this would stop happening so often...


I'd also like to point out the fact that this is the first time that, what could've been a double battle, wasn't. My guess is that the game actually took pity on me and my one Pokemon.


AHAHAH! I HAVE DELUDED THE GAME TO MAKING IT EASY ON ME! I WIN!


HOLY CRAP, A KUNI! I mean, A MARILL!


This... is really not going to go over well with Sailor Moon.


Okay, see, the first step? The first step is to actually go to the league! At the moment, you're sorta just floating on the spot!


IT IS A POWERHOUSE, I TELL YOU! THE DEMONIC MICROWAVE WILL DESTROY US ALL!






LAND! FINALLY! After a route like that, the city ALWAYS makes me feel at home!


Even if I live in a near-deserted town.



Wooti... nah, I don't care about this thing. I don't have any Pokemon to use it on!


Wait, did I evolve that Eevee at any point yet?


To compliment his internet argument, of course.


Oh yeah, explanation: this random guy asks to see Pokemon of X nature, and gives you Y Poketch that you'll never actually use.


HEALING! AT LONG LAST, HEALING!


RIBBONS! THIS DAY IS FULL OF AWESOME!


Congrats, Gardevoir, you've got a ribbon to commemorate how your owner was a bastard enough to tell a really sad story to a really sad lady!

I'm not making that up!


This... this woman confuses me!
Oh right, forgot. All women like assholes.


So... you told me to go challenge the gym leader... despite that he isn't even here?! Goddam I hate you!


Apparently, this place even has a lighthouse! Y'know, despite the fact that you can't actually see more than 7 squares away...


Methinks Microsoft might have had a bit of influence in making this game...


So... you're going to try become the best of the best in Pokemon training... if you can beat a single kid.
Yes.


Aaaand then he leaves instead of, y'know, actually fighting. Fantastic!


What was that guy looking at anyway?


HOLY CRAP! It's a binoculars showing all the way to... World 8!


Okay, I'm done with that pointless place. What else is in this city?


Seals.

Oh right, I completely forgot to mention these! Seals are... small animations that happen every time you send out a Pokemon that has them. You attach seals to a Ball Capsule, which you can then put on or take off a Pokeball. It does sound really nifty, except that it's actually REALLY ANNOYING, because you have to manually take the Capsules off and put them back on every time you want to deposit or withdraw a Pokemon! It really should've been made automatic.


More explanations needed: this is the girl that gives you a ribbon if your Pokemon has maximum EVs. Unlike regular ribbons, this one is actually useful as it tells you when the Pokemon can't get any more powerful excluding from levelling up, and is the prime go-point for daycare training and rare candies, as Pokemon can't get any more EVs once they reach level 100.


Hoorah! Finally, I can get that bloody 8th gym badge already!

Of course, I could've done it ages ago had I not decided to try and skip it entirely. Natch.


Seriously, even the things he says are gay!


Hm. You could've gotten away with your chosen type not being so bloody obvious if you had just left 'shocking' out. And if you didn't live in a city where every road has a solar panel on it!


And the puzzle of this gym is...

Umm...

Huh. I think this boss actually had a moment of commen sense and made it so that you genuinely couldn't reach him! Is that even allowed in a videogame?!

Actually, once again, I had forgotten that uploading a screenshot LetsPlay also requires that you upload the screenshots too.

Shouldn't a "weeaboo emoticon" have Japanese characters?
のヮの

Plasma-san I love your let's-playu! ^__^

Stop saying weeaboo >_< it's offensivu

I read that as monogrians

STOP BREAKING UP MY CITY WALL

YOU STOLE THAT FROM ME!
YOU...

DOUCHE.

Methinks its finally time I talk to the Caretaker about what to do here.


Actually, it's also the first time you've given me advice. Well, proper advice anyway.


NOOOOO, REALLY?! Wow, I never new that!


...

I hate you so much right now!


Hm. Well if there's one thing I've learned from videogames, its that if there's an oddly coloured part of the ground or wall, you're probably meant to push it!


THE SYSTEM WORKS!

Yeah, makes the gears rotate 90 degrees.


And by doing that, you get to... push more oddly-coloured ground parts! Which do the same thing!

Y'know, I'm daisies glad this is the last gym, because I'm really fed up of these effed up puzzles!


That depends on how much harder these effing gear puzzles get! I'd try just climbing over the rails, but I'd probably need a Rail Climb HM, or a Walk On Gears HM to do it!


Oh c'mon, it's the last gym and you're using a Pachirisu? Put some effort into it, for crying out loud!


OH COME ON! This is not fair! The reason I can't get a single hit in is because I've been confused!


FINALLY! This was after a full round of 4 consecutive confusion self-attacks!


Oh fantastic, more gear puzzles! Now there's even gears on the walls, for some reason.


MY GUITAR IS FUELLED BY AMBITION! AMBITION, AND LOADSA LOADSA ELECTRICITY!


Oh come ON! Stop using Pokemon that you find at the start of the game!


Pah! Yeah right! So far I've seen nothing but type Wussy Pokemon!


See, now you're getting somewhere! Pity that its sole ability gives it a disadvantage.


Geez- dude, look, it's level47 against a level41 Gardevoir! X-Speed is POINTLESS!

Actually, I have a good mind to just use Trick Room for the sake of it!


A Wootinary is in order here!


Oh great, this gym even has 'hardcore' talking Pikachus.


Okay, no, it just has little kids dressed as talking Pikachus!

BUT THEY'RE daisies HARDCORE THOUGH! RRR, MOUSE, YEAH!


Your mad skills? Seriously, what the hell is it with this gym that inspires people to use craptacular Pokemon and quip off the most obscure of slang?


First appearance of a Raichu, methinks.

I wish I had something to say. All I can think of is FAAAT!


PROGRESS!


Lady, I've gone through two rooms of gear puzzles and I still have more to go. This? This is not an adrenaline boosting adventure!


FIST FIGHT! YEAH!

Well, actually, I don't think Gallade uses his fists. He has really elongated elbows, apparently.


Oh yeah. Now I remember why I UTTERLY HATE ELECTABUZZES!


Here we go, electric vs electric! Now this should be a simple fair ma-


OH FOR CRAPS SAKE! HOW DOES IT KEEP DOING THAT?!

Okay, that's it, I'm taking out the big guns!



Naturally.


Naturally! At least he got a paralyzation effect in there.

What, I've come up against... two Electabuzz so far? And they've paralyzed me six times already?


FINALLY!

Man, I REALLY hate Electabuzz! Although I should just be glad there haven't been any Electrodes in this gym so far.


I can see how he gets bored in this place. The entire floor is made of puzzle!

Back in my day, we didn't have any of this rubbish! The worst we got was door levers inside of trash cans! ...okay, so that was pretty messed up...


Aaand after a two-Mon streak of actually worthwhile Pokemon, we go back to... this.


That? That's what's known as a close call! Man!


Okay, what the hell is it with these weak-type Pokemon and being able to confuse the hell out of my own? Its really pissing me off now!


Nontheless, it doesn't distract that it's a weak-type Pokemon and toxic does actually manage to kill it! For once.


Actually, I was just heading back anyway. This puzzle apparently requires more backtracking than Resident Evil.


Right, Electabuzz STILL piss me off immensely, so long story short: AntiGrav fails, Roosevelt wins!


I seriously hate this gym!


And I seriously hate paralyzation! The only reason Roosevelt isn't paralyzed too is because she has Natural Cure, which removes all status effects on switching out or finishing a battle.


Actually, Roosevelt is fairly kicking booty today! Nice!





Yeah, I finally healed. I probably should've done this ages ago, but I really prefer holding out until I clear the gym of trainers before healing.




A Marill snuggle pillow?

I VERY MUCH WANT THAT! VERY VERY MUCH!


Look, just, don't ask why I like collecting ribbons so much. I just do.



Aand enough digressing there. NEXT UPDATE: THAT FINAL BLASTED GYM LEADER!

Or the "walk anywhere" hack on an action replay. :awesome:

A CHALLENGER APPROACHES!


Of course it's not often, your gym is FILLED with moving puzzle gears! Heck, I bet half of the people who tried to get to you ended up getting crushed between the gears!


What? Battling isn't meant to be fun! You're forcing wild creatures into captivity and only sending them out to fight! The only reason you should be fighting in the first place is to stop evil duders from destroying the world, strengthening up your Pokemon, and to beat the Elite Four for no particular incentive! Geez!


Four Pokemon? Oh come ON! This is just ridiculous now, you're meant to be the hardest gym leader in the entire country!
This game simply does not take itself serious enough...


Pokemon #1 is... a Jolteon!

Sorry, its hard to take the final gym seriously when he uses a Pokemon this cute! D'awwww!


Along with kittens, PsyGuy is also fond of punching... dog fox cat things? What is Jolteon anyway?


Pokemon #2hitShitSHIT! WHAT THE HELL THAT THING IS HUGE?!


SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!


Riiiight, the one benefit of Giga Impact is that I get an extra shot in with PsyGuy. Here's to hoping that-


Alright, that was dissapointingly easy. Turns out PsyGuy was faster.

Why is it that nearly every Pokemon in this game pretty much dies in two hits max?


2 down, 2 to go, and... it's another Sphinx evolution. C'mon, you're the final gym leader, SURELY you have something bettter than a Route #2 Pokemon!


FLASH CANNON! I... don't know why the effect is so red... I don't think I want to know why the effect is so red... ugh!


Or... it'll do next to no damage whatsoever. Fantastical.


I'm now down by two Pokemon. We'd be on even terms right now had he actually done the sensible thing and USED MORE THAN FOUR POKEMON!


Now THAT'S what I call a hotdog!


Okay, sorry, sorry, I won't do it again!


Yeah... that was ineffectual, so I switched to Epilepsie. I should seriously switch Rotom's form to one that doesn't reduce Special Attack by 50%, considering he has no physical attacks! A 140 power move stopped insta-killing opponents quite some time ago.


Epilepsie really didn't do a good job here.


Oh for feck sake! Machineria too?


OH COME ON! It's a flipping 2nd Route Pokemon! Why won't it DIE?!


I... I think I'm gonna cry now!


I'd be a gonner if I didn't revive Machineria. A DEUS EX MOMENT!


A burning sensation, take 2!


FINALLY! Geezus, I swear he was actually meant to be the final Pokemon on the party but just got mixed up!

At least I hope so, because I'm pretty much fighting with my back against the wall here.


FATCHU STRIKES AGAIN!


Yeah, I'm not gonna try take it on in a 1-vs-0.5 match with Machineria alone.


Ahahah! A charge beam? You expect a charge beam to be able to down Machineria?


Oh right, yeah. Last Pokemon Syndrome. Forgot.

Its up to you now Roosevelt!


Aaaand I'm boned!


Damnit, I should've ressed Machineria while I had the chance. That's what I get for trusting my less-frequently used Pokemon!


OH NO, I LOST... not that much, actually. The same amount of cheddar as the cost of two ultra balls.


daisies blasted gym leader wouldn't even heal my Pokemon for me! What a jerk!


Okay, y'know what? I'm gonna go level up a bit. Yes, I am actually going to try levelling up as a plan of attack! Simply because I completely skipped over a route full of trainers and goodies from impatience.

And hopefully, by the time I'll get back, Volkner will have already beaten the Elite Four and I'll get to fight a different gym leader!


I AM TAKING NO PRECAUTIONS THIS TIME!


Once more unto the breach!

Actually, I'm gonna save us some time and just go over it like an 80's training montage!


This... this looks HORRIBLY wrong!


This wasn't after one round, this was after one attack! Apparently, Anti-Grav is more powerful than I thought!


Wait seriously? Even some random trainer before the gym had an evolved Luxio? Wow, those gym trainers REALLY sucked!


More free TMs? Where is everyone even getting these things? I mean, every second NPC seems to have one for spare nowadays!


Hmm, well that sounds useful! Instead of simply holding onto an item that boosts its attacks by an extra 50%, it can... throw it at the opponent instead!


This battle alone is the inspiration for many a Rule34 picture!


Oh WHAT?! A Level 41 Magikarp? ....why?!


ITS THE EYE OF THE TIGER


ITS THE CREAM OF THE FIGHT...


Actually, those two levelling up were the only things I got done before I ran out of trainers to fight.
So...


Yet MORE healing! Hopefully it'll be the last time I'll have to do it in this chapter!


Aaaand...
Fuck, I forgot that this means I have to go through the gear puzzle YET AGAIN!

I seriously hate this place!

ugh
