Blake Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Alright, welcome back! Sadly, the last Randomlocke ended due to computer failure...

Blake Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 you should create a poll to let us choose your starter ;) (if you trust us not ruining your life hahahaha) ~mkI would, possibly... If not for the fact I already made the next two parts before posting this thread rip Feel free to guess, though! 1-1 - Re:Start We begin ou- wait, that's not me. Ah, it's basic tutorial and exposition stuff. Carry on. Is it time? It is! I now have the autonomy to move about! I am pretty concerned by just how many questions I'm being asked, so I'm just gonna smile and nod to get out of here more quickly. Once we're outside, we're greeted by more interruptions! Nice to see you, too, Hugh. I'm on my way to get a Pokemo- Yes, that. And of course I will, Pokemon die when they are killed, after all. May I continue now? I guess I have a companion. Okay, I guess. I've played this before, so I headed as northward as I could. Yes, Hugh, that is the logical conclusion here. Long time no se... wait, different timeline. After a short, somewhat comical scene, we move on to... Getting my first Pokemon! What will the choices be, what will they beeee?! Aaand we have our choices! Do I take the happy egg, the spicy lizard, or the pointy rhinorabbitthing? Find out, next time! Next Time1-2 - Shade Buster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 1-2 - Shade Buster Charmander it is! I wanted to pick Nidoran, but I don't know if I'll find a Moon Stone, so it felt like a risky pick. Hopefully this little guy pays off. Alright, time to start out! Let's go! Ooooh right. Hugh exists. God, he is so pushy. After a short scene, Bianca has this brilliant idea, so let's get to it. What can Sebastian do against Nidoran? Rival Battle #1, begin! Level... 6? Huh. That's weird. Why is his starter a higher level... Well, whatever, let's check Sebastian out! Ayyy, that's pretty legit. What about his moves? OH That's, uh, pretty funking good. It could be a little more diverse, but damn. Time for... BLUE FLARE! And that was all it took. Got two levels out of it, to boot, so that was nice. Ember made me laugh due to how much lower a power level it was, and I didn't take it, but I really should have. I'll never use Inferno and Ember is better for catching weaker wild pokemon... Alrighty then, let's get going. ... Or Bianca could drag me to the Pokecenter. Short tutorial later, we reemerge to one last scene. Mom and Hugh's sister appear, giving me the Running Shoes and two Town Maps, one obviously for Hugh. Who already left. Bianca leaves town and instructs me to follow, but I think I'm gonna find out Sebastian's nature. Ah, he is gonna be a bulky boy when inflicted with a status condition. Neat. Following Bianca gets me a free potion, which is nice... But I think it's time to wrap this up. However, I think I'll save and quit first. I wonder... Ah, there we go. I'm on challenge mode! No wonder the Nidoran was higher leveled than Sebastian... Let's see what this has in store for us next time!

Blake Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 1-3 - Shifting Gears Aaand we're back! Last time, we were heading northward, so that Bianca could teach us how to catch Pokemon, so let's join her. Just, um... Bianca, I know how to catch Pok- Wh- Oh. That went faster than I expected. And here's my encounter. Gotta be careful... Got it! Pretty cool kit, Adamant... This could work well. Welcome to the team, Sorin! Before leaving, I know there's an item we can grab... Oh, neat. Guess we Arceus bois now. Well, with all of the tutorial bull out of the way, we can continue our journey. Dammit. I hate you, Alder. Oh, well thanks! Or not. Yes, Alder, I already had the Pokecenter explained. Please, do not do it again. Finally caught on to the fact I don't need a tutorial? Swell! Can I go now? Nice. And here's our first trainer battle! I know he's generally a low level, and I have yet to grind with Sorin, so I hope he can handle it... But he can't. The trainer sends out a Level 5 Slakoth, which does not have Truant as its ability, so I immediately switch to Sebastian. LEAF BLADE BOIS It goes down to a Blue Flare without fanfare, Sorin grows to Level 3, and we move on to the next trainer. This I feel much more comfortable with. Sorin, do your thing. Get rock wrecked. Sorin gains a whopping 3 levels for this victory, and at level 6... He learns this. Yeah, that's definitely better than ViceGrip. Heading north also gets the second encounter of the run. Zigzagoon! Not the most glamorous encounter, but it'll have to do. Miss Maggey joins us with... a really weird kit, honestly. Not sure if I'll really use her after the early game... We also get to collect an item after the battle, and boy is it a solid one. Might hold onto it for the late game, though... Unless that's BW1 only, and it's inaccessible in the main game of BW2, I can sell it for more. The other kid has a Slakoth, as well, but Sorin handles it no problemo. After that, we head north to find an item I know is hidden there... Man, I'm preeeetty funking salty rn. I could have gone with Nidoran, but I didn't check the file, as not to cheat. Motherfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Ugh. Well, there were two other items available, due to it being Autumn, at least. Interesting and... basically worthless. Nice. Alright, we head into the ranch... Next time! Next Time1-4 - Hades Buster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading in immediately gives us some grass, so... Time for this area's encounter! Well, the nature is unfortunate... But at least Technician works with Shock Wave, meaning it's basically Tbolt with infinite accuracy, and Bolt Strike is a cool companion to Blue Flare? But the celebration of a new member can't last long. We have a fight coming up. hello hugh Rival Battle #2, begin! Surely, a steel type with good moves can handle this, right? N O SORIN NOOOO funk, and Blue Flare missed. Luckily, the next one lands and knocks the Nidoran out, but the damage is done... ... Hugh, you killed my Pokemon. Shut up. Oh goodie, the owners are here. Sigh. Oh boy, here's the little quest to move the plot forward. A. excuse me why are you so worried after killing my pokemonB. why should i help you As he runs off, I take a quick trip back to town, so that I can bury Sorin. Rest in peace, buddy. I really regret forgetting to reorder damaging moves right now. Memes are fun, but this is heartbreaking. Next time, I team up with a jackass to find a missing dog.

[slaps self] ...alright I'm fine. You better not have this blessing from RNGsus be killed...or else!It is a blessing, yes. Still kinda wish it was a Nidoran, but, y'know, beggars/choosers. also of note, someone made a BW2 Remix of the theme I've been using for Hugh battles, so that'll be used for a bit. Which is neat. 1-5 - Switcheroo And we're back. Here's hoping for no more calamity. First things first, I head down and around to nab this item, and... It's alright. If I get a Pokemon with a trapping move, it could be worse. I'm still pissed at him. No sheet. I pass Hugh by, only to stumble upon a... Janitor in the middle of the forest section of a ranch? I don't like this. Not one bit. AWWWW NO GIVE IT TO ME ;_; I have to switch to Athena to take care of it, but all is well. However... This is a nightmare. I'm praying I can one-shot it, but I'm not certain... And I fear Earthquake. A lot. oh thank God Oh sweet, a 100/100 with chance of burning is definitely better than a 100/50 that always burns. Sure, I'll take the legendary attack. Hugh, nothing you do will make up f- Don't test me, Hugh. That is why you had us look for it, yes. Don't... know why you needed to spell it out. Cool. I should remember to equip this later. (Spoiler: It is forgotten for the remainder of Part 1.) Hark, do I hear a dog? ... I do what I want. Oh God, enter Team Plasbad. Oh hi doggy Hugh, I did not say a word to you, how do you know I found it. Wow, rude. Noooope, I've never heard of Team Plasbad. Never. You would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for this meddling kid? And that running dog, too? ... Clever? Good dog. Let's get out of here before... Welp. Hm, I wonder. Bye doggy. Well, the good news is no blood was shed this time. I'm going to head back to town and continue there, so see you guys next time.

Why else would he know signature moves from 2 different Legendaries? 1-6 - Keeping Grounded Welcome back! We've just returned to Floccesy Town, and we'll be heading back to Aspertia for our first Gym Battle! sheet. I forgot about you. Uh... Thanks? I can never tell with you. But hey, you let me on your property, and now I have another Arceus piece... So I'll take it. Hey, no, I'm the one training you snots. ... Eh? Aren't you two generations too early? Whoa, kid, chill out. No. God, these ground types are getting out of hand. Luckily, it went down fairly easily, but I was still pretty spooked by it. Why does that message not inspire confidence in me Luckily for me, Barboach sucks and just uses Aqua Jet, which means it isn't killing Sebastian. Sebastian uses Searing Shot and manages to burn it, so the second Aqua Jet does even less. And then it dies, by some miracle. I mean, with this randomizer, they usually should... I'm just glad I got lucky here. Yes, he did. Good job, Sebastian. With that out of the way, I head out. Time to head back to Aspertia! No. STOP. Oh. You were actually being helpful for once. Neat. I already planned to, dude. He finally lets me go after the inspirational message, and I make my way home. And here we are, the entrance to the Aspertia Gym. Next time, we take it on!

Blake Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 1-7 - Schoolyard Rumble Welcome back, my good readers! We're about to take on the first gym, but let's take a quick glance at our party first. Given the last episode, Maggey is a little low, Athena is more/less correct, and Sebastian should be fine. And hey, this kid is nice enough to share an X Defend! Plus, Clyde is good for water, as always. What a swell guy. Nah, I'm the inspector. Ah, yes, Cheren. I definitely know you in no way, nope. Easy enough. I'm a bit worried about Maggey, but it depends on the type here. First kid, lesgoooooooo. MAGGEY NO I banked on her surviving one hit so she could Conversion 2... But she both outsped and took too hard a hit from the Mareep. God damn it... Sebastian makes quick work of the Mareep and the Blitzle behind it, but... funk... Then second girl, who... I forgot to take pics of the battle for. I was still upset over Maggey. ... Not without some grinding, I'm gonna bet. Goodbye, Maggey. May you chase hidden items in heaven. So yeah, this episode's a bit short... But I should probably grind before I face Cheren. It is challenge mode, after all. Until next time.

Blake Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Two down already, ouch. Rough game.And, should I survive Aspertia... Only one more encounter before Virbank's Gym. 1-F - Limitless Battle: Aspertia Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we're back! As you can see, I did some grinding. Made sure that Athena evolved, and now she knows Crunch, so hopefully she'll be helpful here. On top of that, she's holding an Oran Berry... And that's all I can do for them. Deep breaths, keep calm... The first Limitless Battle: Aspertia Town Leader, Cheren. Yep, about what I expected. The Mareep goes down fairly easily, just got Crunched twice. Sebastian takes over here, aiming for a quick win, but... The Shinx just barely survives, and then uses Volt Switch, taking us to Cheren's ace. Blitzle! I could have kept Sebastian around, possibly, but I switched to be wary... And it was a good thing, because Blitzle has Fusion Bolt. Ouch. It goes down to a few Crunches, but not before it manages to land a Zap Cannon, which was reaaally unfortunate. But it's okay! The Shinx goes down to a little nibble, due to being weakened. We've beaten the first Gym! Thank you, Cheren. And, I... Dedicate this badge to Sorin and Maggey. May they rest in peace. He also gives us this, which is... Neat, I guess. However, before we can head to the Pokecenter, Bianca stops us. And she gives us a reward which is... around the same level of "okay then" as Steel Wing? Sounds about right. The two of them bug me for a bit, then Juniper calls for fun, and... That's pretty much it. Just "you made your first step" sorta stuff. Aaaand then there's Hugh. I'm not super mad anymore, but I'm still not happy to see him. Have fun, you two. With people like Hugh, it has to be. And with a gifted C-Gear, the first stage of the journey is over. We'll be staying on this island a little while longer, but... That's for next time! Next Time2-1 - Setting Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 2-1 - Setting Out Alrighty! Here we are in Floccesy, about to embark for Virbank... But let's take a moment to recap! In the first act, we obtained 4 Pokemon:Sebastian the CharmanderSorin the KlinkMaggey the ZigzagoonAthena the Mareep We met our Rival, Hugh, and his starter, a Nidoran. Our first death was Sorin at Floccesy Ranch, to Hugh's Nidoran.Our second death was Maggey, to a gym trainer's Mareep. Athena evolved off-screen during the first act, becoming a Flaaffy. We completed our first Limitless Battle against Cheren, earning us the Basic Badge. And those are the major highlights. With that said, let's begin the second act! Or not. I... have no idea how this interacts with a randomizer. Awkwaaaaaard. plsno Oh, uh... I think I may have upset her... Whoops. Anyway, we head out towards the western part of the next route, only to be stopped by a hiker. Thanks! Oh. Dick. PFFFFFFT YEAH OKAY GUY I genuinely have no funking idea. Oh, good, more interruptions. I was already headed this way... I knew that, but neat, I guess. Oh, that's actually pretty decent. Thanks, Cheren! I mean, you beat him and acted like he was a weakling, so this seems weird. But, sure, okay. Another Arceus piece. That's 3 now. Jesus Christ. Item collection also scores these, which... could be worse, yeah. Now it's time for the customary early game double battle! Luckily, I have exactly enough Pokemon for this! Hey, that's kinda cute. Gonna get dunked, but cute. And dunked they were. I choose to pass up Thunder, because of its inaccuracy, Yes, yes I am? Don't remind me... I guess this is nice, though. Saves me some cash. Well, we've made it to Virbank's entrance, and it's time we go in... Next time.

Now, let's carry on to... I'm just... going to try and walk away slowly. Ah, so she's the Gym Leader... I never would have guessed that a custom model would mean a character was important. With that duo out of the way, it's time... to loot the town! Decentish? And now on to the second half of this fair port town. Man, I'm getting so many Gems, just like Plates. What the hell. Now what's up with this dude... This doesn't add up. What is he gonna do when I say yes? ... He actually did it. I'm so confused rn. With that weirdness out of the way, we head a bit deeper in, to a second part of the complex... Wh- bu- WHO ARE YOU? The foreman? I'll get a TM out of it? Okay, that's better.

Darj Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I find amusing that Sebastian got Marvel Scale, but as a Fire type it can't take advantage from Burn status.Sucks that you lost 2 Pokemon already. Hope you make it just fine through the upcoming challenges despite the possible shortage of Pokemon.By the way, the screenshots on the Pokemon stats don't show the nature, so I don't know the nature of Sebastian, unless I missed it somehow, and only found Maggey's (R.I.P) when you showed her in the graveyard box.

I NEED MY DOSE WHERE YOU ATFEAR NOT, I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN A BUSY BOY, BUT THE STORY SHALL CONTINUE 2-3 - Complex Complex After a decent break, we're back! We have to go and rough up some of the workers here... Because their boss wants us to, and he'll give us a TM as a reward. Here's hoping it's good! During the break, I went and got my encounter. What could it be?! It's lord helix! Or lord butts. Or Omanoodles. Whatever you want to call him. Nature seems decent, and Sturdy is great. As I began my journey through the complex, I ran into this guy. Let's see what happens if I follow him... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Oh hey, shrooms! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Uh wh huh, uh, yeah, sure? now i feel a little bad Oh sweet. Thanks, dude! Well, that was certainly a side sidequest. Back to the main sidequest! dude calm down this is a little existential Hm, fighting or dark. Neither are too much of an issue... and the burn is nice! Sebastian took it down easily, and then the Machop... Followed suit. Hopefully the other two are just as easy as this was. This guy seems like he's a bit better off than the first dude... Maybe I shouldn't have come to fight him. This funker knew Earthquake. Through sheer luck, Athena was able to tank and beat the sheet out of it. God, I was terrified, but it ended well. I had also used Sebastian before swapping, since he could still use STAB against it and hope for a burn. Didn't work, but no one died. And then this happened! Sebastian is going to be a good bit more useful now, so I hope the gym is a type I can take advantage of. This guy really does have a good attitude. Promote this man. Why are you people like this. Larry is not very good at this. I had to swap him out after a Sturdy, and Sebastian took a hard hit for him... But it's okay, he can one-shot the frog! And I think you know how this went down. There we go, that's a better outlook! Back to the bossman. uhhhhhh doesn't this seem a bit wrong when you sent me to fire them up Well, I guess it could have been worse... But I need to go loot the area first. Well, those are both pretty decent. I'm okay with this! And with that, our little sidequest is complete! Until next time!
