Tinkerer Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hello, fine peoples!I wanted to do a let's play of a randomized Pokemon game. As Crystal was my first game and my favorite, I decided to go with it. As a LET'S PLAY, I want the community of YCM to help me decide on stuff such as names, team members, tm usages, etc.Before I begin, I wanna note that pretty much everything is randomized: starters, stats, held items, types, moves/move types, tms, etc. That said, certain things are kept pretty straightforward: pokemon are set to usually learn moves of their type, and evolutions will keep to the trends of the preevolution (ie. A fast special sweeper won't evolve into a slow special sweeper).So, without further ado...[spoiler Chapters]Chapter 1: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/361219-lets-play-tinkerers-randomized-pokejourney/?p=6980120Chapter 2: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/361219-lets-play-tinkerers-randomized-pokejourney/?p=6982547Chapter 3: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/361219-lets-play-tinkerers-randomized-pokejourney/?p=6985568[spoiler Current Team]Aruba the MachopFightingLv: 10ATK: 20DEF: 25S.ATK: 15S.DEF: 10SPD: 14 Greece the MetapodFireLv: 8ATK: 15DEF: 12S.ATK: 10S.DEF:10SPD: 14 Guadeloupe the HoothootDark/SteelLv: 7ATK: 8DEF: 15S.ATK: 11S.DEF: 12SPD: 10 Cuddles the SlugmaWaterLv: 8ATK: 9DEF: 19S.ATK: 8S.DEF: 16SPD: 10 Samoa the MarillGhost/PsychicLv: 7ATK: 10DEF: 12S.ATK: 14S.DEF: 12SPD: 7 Malta the PidgeyFireLv: 4ATK: 10DEF: 12S.ATK: 6S.DEF: 8SPD: 9 [spoiler Chapter 1: A Boy named Tythe...]WHO’S THAT POKEMON?!I’m a disembodied voice. I assume that’s not an option?I suppose not…Hm?Wait, are you talking to me?So we can communicate now?! Firstly, it’s 4:00, secondly, my name is Tinker—…Yes, that’s what I said. Now, back to me. I’m—WILL YOU LET ME SPEAK?!…Fine, be that way. See if I wake your narcoleptic behind ever again.Did… Did you just go back to sleep?Blah blah… Pokemon are mysterious creatures… blah blah… intro stuffNow we’re talking! The name’s—Dude! Didn’t your Mom teach you to trust your disembodied voices?!Humph… (In all seriousness, Tinkerer was 1 letter from fitting)*compels Tythe to pick nose*Tythe whited outYou fell out of bed again, didn’t you?RivetingOk. Enough of that. Let’s go downstairs.Elm *pause* was looking for youYup.Pokégear get!I already said that…Dude, how does your world operate?Apparently.Real talk: do you ever think about daylight saving time any time of the year besides the few days around it?Nah.Yes Mom, God! *flips bangs out of eyes*O_OWelp... you hungry?And that’s it apparently. We poor.Oh, never mind. We got food.Ahh… fresh air.That’s not the only thing that’s impressive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)You ruined it…Then again, I was just gonna say how impressive it is how loudly Tythe snores.*stare**STARE*…aaaand I didn’t screencap “what’re you starin’ at?”Ahh… fresh airTime to meet the Prof.No.NO!Dammit, you’re gonna do one of those endless loop things until the kid says yes, aren’t you?I feel like there’s some higher force controlling this kid better than I…Yes I am! *puffs out chest**still glowing with pride**beginning to deflate*?…Dude…WAH! Don’t DO that! I thought you were lost in thought or something!*Zoned out and didn’t take screencaps. He tells us about a mystery that a friend named Mr. Pokemon discovered. Unfortunately he cannot leave his lab to meet him because he’s too busy… reading emails. Elm is not a good friend.*I wasn’t doing anything!Good for you.No.…Did you just teleport? Or did I just fall asleep again?Real talk: Have you ever tried reading these games in your head and pretend that the words in all caps mean they’re shouting? Definitely makes these games at least 22% funnier than normal.Yay.Now onto our choices! We’ve got…Real talk: I did set it to all 3-stage evolutions and made it possible to evolve trade evolutions.Oh, there’s also this.[spoiler=Chapter 1 sidenotes]Note: I did this on my phone. I think I'm going to switch it to just computer because the screenshots are awkward and its a hassle transferring the pics to PC before being able to upload them en mass. Expect to only see the game screen next time!Note2: I dunno what's up with the last few pics either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarlandChaos Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 A bit of a note for doing this on PC after doing it on phone: You won't get the exact same randomization unless you saved the code the randomizer may or may not have given you after randomizing. So you'd have to manually set the starters to Mareep, Machop, and Oddish. Sorry. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yui Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Protip for the future: you don't have to screencap every line of dialogue. Makes sheet a lot longer than it has to be. That said I'm pleased the randomlockes of me and a few others have inspired more people to do them. We bringing Blogs back boiz! Also pick Machop. Because Machamp looks really cool.

Tinkerer Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Thank you all again for voting! From the votes, it appears that I am going with Machop for this run. If anyone has any name suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Chapter 2 is up! Sorry it's up so late! [spoiler Chapter 2: Screw you MAP!]Machop get! Well, I’m happy if you’re happy. I guess. No comment. Elm decides to tell me where his acquaintance livesTrust me, we’ll try. …But he already has a phone… This can only end badly *sigh* I suppose we should check out Aruba’s stats:A FIGHTING-TYPE Machop. HOW ORIGINAL! Real Talk: Moves’ power and types may be different, but side effects, like paralysis and poison stay the same. Also status and non-damaging moves only have their types changed.…So Nightmare is virtually useless. Ok, decent Attack and Defense. Did I really randomize the Pokemon?Anyways, back to business… Potion get! It’s not the only thing that’s adorable ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She wasn’t interested… *Runs through grass without encountering anything* Yo, my Pokemon are good, yo. O_OFull Restore get?!*Continues not encountering anything* Berry get! This run has certainly been anticlimactic… I mean, Tythe here is, but I’m not. Tythe, you’ve gotta let me talk once in a while… Oh, let’s see what he has to say, Tythe! He’s OLD, and everyone knows OLD people are chock-full of wisdom! And candy! RARE candy! Ok! :3 …………………Don’t look at me that way Tythe. …Is a secret underground Pokemon training facility where mighty trainers from across the globe meet and show each other their legendary Pokemon?! Oh.…You’re one of those lonely OLD people, not wise OLD people, aren’t you? …But you are still have candy, right? RARE candy? Map get!Not candy. Map. Not wisdom. F%#&)n MAP. I’m going to blame this MAP for any failures from here on out. Agreed, Tythe? Going back, looking for pokemon~♪ Ooo. Pichu! Only usable attack… Dammit Aru— MAP. It’s the MAP’s fault. Yes. By the by, Pichu keeps missing with Toxic. Also in route 29. Yeah… this isn’t going well. Twineedle’s a killer… Turns out Pichu has Rapid Spin. New area! Good thing we had that MAP, otherwise we’d never find our way here! … … … *Frustration reaching critical mass* This is pretty cool though. Huh. Aruba really has an affinity for poison, huh? Ice-type move though. Should come in useful against them pesky Flying-types. Good job Aruba! During battle against a Machop, Aruba gets poisoned.Hang on Aruba! God Dammit MAP! Why’d you tell me to take the scenic route?! Tythe, this is not the time to be taking a nap! I think someone dumped us out on the street when we started snoring… I did say before that it was impressive. Let’s get going then.*runs through grass* Berry get! *Tythe asks me what is love**I answer in song* *looks over shoulder* Are you POSITIVE that’s a Rattata? *decides to wander in grass for a bit*It knows Leech Life. Pff. Easy peas— O_OWell, damn. HP UP get! Bad grammar get! Nope. Our name’s Bob. Poo Mystery Egg get! Did… did you just yell your name before talking? Do you have a differently named voice in your head too? I know. You just yelled your name before. Flashback: …Right Mm. Good for you. Hate and Scorn? It’s hate and scorn, isn’t it? Oh, come on. Do you seriously believe that? This guy didn’t even know what love was a few minutes ago!You can still see the hate in Aruba’s eyes for letting her faint when my bag has like 2 potions, a couple berries and a FULL RESTORE. ARGH! Don’t do that! What gave you that impression? Elm needs to step up his game. I can’t even attempt to refuse Oak. Ooo! Shiny! It’s also invisible! Pokedex get! No. WHY?! On your mark, get set— Oh, we’re here already. Oh, are we doing this now? You know, I’d love to stay and not talk, but we’ve gotta get back to th— OH YOU’RE ON! Insult Tythe all you want, but if you interrupt me? Be ready for a WORLD of hurt. Bring it! Real talk: the battle transition in this game never gets old. BWA-HA-HA! Oddish! O_O SCREW YOU MAP! SCREW YOU GINGY! … … … Is that with three exclamation points or four? You should totally go to that guy’s house. He’s a wise OLD man that gives out RARE candy. *runs to Elm’s Lab* YOU CALLED ME BACK BECAUSE YOU WERE SCARED OF A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE?!? Oh. Mm. Huh? I said nothing. Oh, I certainly did *grins wickedly* [spoiler=Chapter 2 sidenotes]If I don't get suggestions for names for the rival, I'll either name him Gingy, ????, or MAP.

Tinkerer Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Time for Chapter 3![spoiler Chapter 3: One Step Forward…]Oh, I certainly did *grins wickedly*Heh, now we can curse MAP and actually have a reason!Wait, you don’t find that the least bit odd?Whatever floats your boat then, I guess.It sure is. A red-haired git named MAP stole your blazing weed.How do you still care about that? Did you not hear me? YOUR WEED IS GONE.Eh, I suppose you are being kinda responsible Tythe. I applaud your tenacity.It’s quite a bit heftier than a chicken egg, that’s for sure.Mm. Will I get anything out of this?AURGH! Stop it with the sudden exclamations!How do you see it? It’s in my pocket!…It’s also still invisibleMm. If you say so.Well, what if I didn’t want to be a trainer? Never considered that, huh?Yeah, well, he can hear me now. His quality of life has vastly improved because of it. He doesn’t fall asleep as easily now.Eh… You sure you want to do it Tythe? I mean…That was exactly what I was going to say!*Tythe looks up from his feet and nods with determination*Uh, sure.Dude…BWARGH!!*Tythe faints*After several minutes of the aide frantically shaking us to wake us up, we finally awaken and slowly get to our feetNo. You scared me.No. Shut up.Pokeballs Get!Tythe! Why’d you do that?*Tythe flashes empty wallet*TouchéWalkin’ home… Nice day…Elm let me have it.I know! I was surprised too! He also lost his weed.Wait, what?Eh… okMom hands Tythe 1500 pokedollarsWOOP! Mom, you’re the best!…Aww, Mom. Don’t worry so much.Whoa!Mom shoves us outWell that was …surprisingly unemotionalDUDE! Don’t jump out and start talking like that! It’s impolite.I guess.THE DARKNESS IS EATING YOUR BODY!Ok, I’ve gotta admit, this is cool overload. A guy whose name is literally Dude is catching one of the most legit Pokemon ever.Thank you Dude-sempai. I shall always remember your wisdom.Catching montage:That was pretty close…Its name is Ethiopia, it has a poison typing, decent double attack, stats aren’t too outstanding.Close call again. Decent haul so far.Ghost Psychic? That’s pretty cool actually.Cuddles will be mine!<3Water type Slugma. It has good defenses, but it’s correct attack stat leaves much to be desired…Having Rock Smash lower defense doesn’t help either.Woot!Mali is also a Water-type. Has better… everything… than Cuddles. And has an absorbing move.…I still love Cuddles more though <3Dude-sempai would be so proud of me…Rock-type’s intriguing, but Rapid Spin just won’t cut it…It’s also holding a TM…Aruba can now kill Ghosts with her awesome cannon-firing skills.Deposited Smeargle, Pichu, and HoppipDat Hydro Pump tho…This is just silly. Fire-type.Real talk: Out of the 6 pokemon caught, only 1 of them had the “correct” attack stat for its type. Looks like I’m going to have a fairly defensive team.Because Hoothoots are SO RARE in the original game.I dunno, that name seems to just.. fit.Dark/Steel? That’s a pretty awesome typing! Welcome to the team Guadeloupe! You also have a gift of a Max Ether. You really know how to treat a guy, huh?Montage Over.There are quite a few good ones around these parts. I found a—DON’T. CUT. ME. OFF.*snicker* KristineOoo. Spida!No match for the liquid hugs of Cuddles!You do that.By the way…Oh, ok. If that’s all.Phone Number Get!If I say no, will you let me pass?Dangit…Which is better, hugs or kisses?Beat the first Smoochum, but here’s another… Me wonders why Jonathan is training Smoochums in the first place.Guadeloupe putting in work.Wait… did our battle just go all night long?Ha! I tried using that excuse! You can’t fool me, trainer!!!...Ok, I believe you…I’m not a trainer!Dangit, was it the exclamation point? It was definitely the exclamation point, wasn’t it.Cuddles too stronk.X Defense Get!No.Fine. But only because your name is Ann.Oh, yeah that’s a thing. Greece one-shotting errybody with its fire-type petal dance.I am pretty awesome!You’ll share Pokemon? Gimme your number!Phone Number Get!Calcium Get!One more catch before we get into the next city…Eh, fire type. Metapod does it better.Watch out Violet, Tythe’s here to party!Will update the team in the OP later. There's still every chance to change teammates if anyone has suggestions!

Yui Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 This is my only real contribution to this thread right now. I'm pleased that you took my suggestion of naming the rival MAP tho.
