AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Also because Gyrados is cooler in forms of HARDEN jokes.

Sorry about the delay, but I completely formatted my computer! It's all good now though, and woot for Windows 7!

...would you believe that MSpaint is now actually decent?!




I... just told you, I had to format my entire computer. Do try pay attention here!


Really? So what's with all the seemingly permanent houses then? Is everyone just stopping by for a day on their way to Iron Island or something?



...what a weird guy.

Anyway, I believe I'm finally fully finished in that city, woo...




No, wait, I'm not. I still have to come back to it one more time later on!



I don't like this post-Elite Four game. It involves going to this town way too much!



...huh. For some weird reason, I thought that after waking up from that dream, I'd have a Darkrai.


I love Japanese! ...I mean, the Pokemon, not the people/country/food.


Wait, did I just say I love a tentacle monster? I... I meant that I love using him as a HM slave! ...OH GOD, I'M ONLY MAKING IT SOUND WORSE NOW!


SPROINK! EVERYBODY LOVES SPROINKS!


...except me, I mean. I have bigger things to do here, y'know.





*sproink*


Anyone remember this place? I think I stopped here for one item a long long time ago! Ah, the memories...


What... what are you doing this far out to sea if you can't even swim?!


OH AHAHAHAH A LEVEL 31 MARILL AHAH MAN, AND YOU THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE STRONG! EHEH... eh...



Oh GOD, Sailor Moon os going to kill me for this!


OH GOD! Why did she have to do the Bidoof strategy with Marills?! Goddamnit, I'm never gonna get laid at this rate!



Say, did I ever mention that I hate water routes? Even if all the Pokemon on them are ridiculously weak, I still hate them!


I mean c'mon, this is just a laughably easy route!


...I like how he seems to want to start a race in th very middle of the sea path!


Oh COME ON! Even the Tentacruel attack with flipping bubbles! This is just sad.


Lock-On: Makes the next attack not miss. Unfortunately, it doesn't make the next attack not suck. It's only good with things like Fissure, with a ridiculous hit % rate. That, and against Double Team and such.


Yay, out of that blasted sea route!

Oh hey, this is the place Oak said he was, isn't it? What an entirely coincidental incident with absolutely no prior motive whatsoever!


I... don't know. It would probably help if I could actually see more than just your head.


Yes. Swimming as gracefully as a bowling ball!


Geesus, how many of these things are there anyway?! I mean, I assume they're meant to be rare, but it's a bit hard to believe that they are when they keep popping up everywhere!


How... 'generous' of you. For trying to beat me up, I mean.


Okay, I'll hand it to him. Togetic is a pretty awesome Pokemon to have!




Even if it does suck horribly.


You can see foreign Pokemon!




I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been shut down for racism yet.


Yeah. A new beginning of a new life. Mainly, one spent stuffed inside a PC!


Yes, congradulations, you can read signposts!


Oh sweet, more free stuff! Man, Oak just loves giving away stuff to me!


Oh right, I never actually got around to using the radar yet, have I?


Oh geezus, he's worse than Mespirit! Goddamnit, stay in one place, old man!


McPants was here.
Dude is $100m in debt.


That's a fancy way of putting it. To be entirely frank about it, you should've said "Pal Park is a place where you steal Pokemon from people that aren't you!"


...

Okay, that one is just too easy!


AAH! A FANGIRL! GET HER AWAY FROM ME! KILL HER WITH FIRE!!




Tomorrow: hunting the most dangerous game of all - foreigners!

Greasy Foreigners...

Catch a Spoink. Make it stop bouncing. Watch it die.

You are HORRIBLE D:

I don't have to explain myself to you dirty Team Rocker scum!

Man, it took a LOT of work to be able to make this episode! Seriously! It's downright ridiculous!'
For example...


You might notice a sprite change!

Yeah, see, Platinum uses different programming for the Pal Park than Diamond or Pearl did. And to date, that hasn't been reverse-engineered yet. So the only way I can use PalPark is by actually making a savefile in Diamond and playing from that!


Which is also why Oak is still here, if you haven't noticed!


...or, at least, that's what I'd like to say. But in Diamond, he still walks off outside the first time you come in. All I did was walk out and straight back in again and SUDDENLY, OAK!


Maybe it's an impostor Oak... it would be nice to force McPants to re-draw his cads!



YES! YOU MAY ALL WATCH IN AWE AS... I THROW A BALL AT A WILD ANIMAL!

Truly, this is the greatest entertainment ever!



Oh yeah, explanation: in the Pal Park, the six Pokemon are divided into five different areas, depending on their habitat type: Field, Forest, Sea, Mountain, and Lake. The challenge is timed, which is where one third of the score comes from, another 1/3 comes from the rarity of the Pokemon, and the last third comes from... type...? Yeah, I really don't know what the heck that accounts for!

Also,


The Pokemon REALLY love jumping out at you! Like, after just three steps!


Any similarities between real or fictional characters is entirely coincidental. And are totally not in any way related to this LetsPlay! I swear on my mother's grave!


The fact that my mother is still alive is also completely unrelated to that promise. Totally!


Oh gee, amn't I just spoiled for choice?!


Oh yeah, Park Balls? Well, they're like... no, they are flipping Master Balls!
Oh, except they don't override the Pokemon's previous ball type. So a Pokemon caught with a great ball in Emerald will still be in a great ball even after going through Pal Park.


As with it's level, it's moves go up too! This is what a Mightyena might look like if anyone had actually ever bothered to get one to level 50.


Which is a shame, since Mightyena is actually one of my favourite Pokemon.


1 down, 5 to go. And this one's out at sea!


Oh yeah, I didn't actually consult with SupMar566 about the Pokemon names, or movesets either, I just predicted what good nicknames would be for them if they evolved, and what movesets they'd likely have at level 50.
Which they probably never will, because they SUCK HORRIBLY! So I consider it a free ace!



I also can't help but laugh at saying "come back"! Y'know, as if I AM AAAAAA!

...CONSPIRACY THEORIES!


Oh, one thing I didn't actually know when making this episode was that PalPark Pokemon aren't meant to be able to have HM moves. They have to be deleted by the Move Deleter if you want to transfer them.

...
Well you know that, and I know that, but do the Pokemon know that?


Oh yeah, the majority of Pokemon here are always in the Park. Which is great for finding them!


...what, he didn't evolve out and rename all of them! Some... some just weren't loved enough...
What a cruel cruel world we live in...


Welp, to the PC with him!


He's like a miniature Snorlax!


...what a cruel an unusual name!


Yeah, sorry, I just couldn't resist the pun!


Oh yeah, and just to point out, this is what came of the female ZigDog. SupMar, in his infinite wisdom, decided it would be brilliant for diversity to not only catch two of the same Pokemon, but to give them the exact came nickname too!


Poodline is, in every meaning of the phrase, a Badass Normal!


Two more left now, and they're both in the same place.

...I hate the forest!


AAAH! THAT MOTH IS... actually pretty reasonably sized, compared to the flipping Crobats!


...why did AAAAAA even have this Pokemon anyway?! It sucks horribly!



...

...

...

I hate the way the last Pokemon to be caught ALWAYS takes ages to appear! Ugh!





THERE we go!

...

Treehugger? He named his Pokemon Treehugger?! Oh... oh god, even his Pokemon are sick!


AHAHAH! HE'S MINE NOW, Y'HEAR?! LET'S SEE YOU SUCK FACES NOW!


Oh yeah, wondering about Frenzy Plant? Well, Sceptile does actually learn it... in Generation 4! But c'mon, I just couldn't resist giving it to him here! He really does need it!



That... was... somehow disappointing. When they said it was just a catching show, they really weren't kidding!


All important! In fact, it's so important, that we'll never ever mention it in this game again!


Oh GOD AAAAAA, your Pokemon really DO suck!


...seriously. I will never understand how the type category is meant to be calculated!


OH WOW, A CHESTO BERRY! IT... IS INCREDIBLY COMMON AND CAN ONLY WAKE SLEEPING POKEMON! MAN, WHAT A BRILLIANT PRIZE!

...yeah, all the prizes for the PalPark 'competition' are berries. What a buncha cheapskates!


So... umm... I... should probably go back and find Oak? When an important NPC ever mentions a location, even in a passing conversation, it means you should probably go there for something good!


Y'know, I'd wager a bet that this little Staravia has been in my party longer than Rotom has, because he keeps being the one I switch out when I need a HM slave. And Rotom's meant to be my main Pokemon!


Ohh mysterious house, what wonders will you hold inside? Perhaps you'll be empty? Perhaps there'll be friendly people inside who greet every trespasser. Or perhaps the people in here will actually be mean and want me out... NAAAH, that never happens!


WHATER SURPRISE, IT'S OAK!


Wait, so you need the whole PalPark event to even communicate with people in Kanto normally... but you just 'get' something in the five minutes that I was off catching Pokemon?!


Wooti- wait, no, I already got an Up-Grade. Like, back when I had recently got Rotom!


Oh, how nice. This NPC actually tells me when he talks about something else. Y'know, unlike everyone else, who don't seem to grasp that "Shorts are comfy" and "I can break bricks with my forehead" shouldn't be said in one go!


What? I already have a little girl that tells me what rare Pokemon are around. I don't need an old man to do it as well!


Oh hey... wait...

GODDAMNIT, SOMEONE LET THEM OF THE PC! Bill is in sooo much trouble when I get back!


Yes. Such as how Bill is SUCH A FLIPPING BASTARD!
RARE AND BEAUTIFUL DO NOT BELONG IN THE WILD! THEY BELONG IN MY FUCKING COLLECTION!


Oh geez, my Poketch is getting REALLY flipping cramped now!

...
Fine, I'll go catch some of these li'l buggers already! Ugh!

Ghey episode is ghey

Yes because take down is the best move ever.

You're right. I should switched it for... bite? Or maybe tackle?

Yeah, there's a reason nobody bothers to get a Mightyena to level 50.

Guess I should go store my level 50 mightyena in the pc

Well, I know SOME Pokemon in my current team will evolve, while others...get...stuck...in...the...PC...(Yes, LeafEater, I'm looking at you.)

Mightyena needs an evolution, really bad.

It should have three heads and be fire typ- oh yeah, houndoom needs that evolution.

Dogs do not make very interesting pokemon.

Well in fairness, Mightyena got a much better movepool in Gen4, and would be a really good Pokemon if it wasn't for his rubbish stats.



That'd be taking one massive step backwards in terms of originality though. It'd be like Gen1 all over again.




You all remember Seel, right? And Ponyta?


Arcanine would like to have a word with you...
