i thought i'd play the original versions first, but then i remembered all the shit about the glitches [namely Missingno and the truck which Mew was supposedly under] and the lack of individual sprites [which, trust me, is super annoying] so i ditched the idea.
so my character's name is 109 as always, while my rival was named after the black tadpole. i dont know why i did it, but it really made me smile to see his character being so annoying!
from the moment we were choosing our starter pokemon and he threw a tantrum because i got to pick first; that was when i knew that naming this annoying snob after someone who's really quiet in real life was gonna be interesting.
you know the tune that plays when the rival appears? it seriously doesn't suit the black tadpole at all! and i love it when i get the feeling like "oh no not again *groans*" each time it plays and my rival comes walking towards me. idk, it really cheers me up.
although sometimes it makes me curse at the real person when the rival defeated me. like he just did. that's why i'm taking a break now, cos i'm super pissed off.
my gosh, if i keep listening to this, it's bound to play in my head automatically when i'm meeting the black tadpole.
anyway, some FireRed updates. my current team is Charmeleon, Pidgeotto, Raticate, Gloom, Dugtrio, and Growlithe. only the first three were the consistent ones, because i had them all the longest. caught them on the outskirts of Pallet Town, that i did!
i caught Gloom as an Oddish near Cerulean City where Misty was, because she's a Water-type expert after all. i didn't have any Grass or Electric type Pokemon, and since the latter was not so common around those parts, i went hunting for an Oddish.
i caught Dugtrio at none other than the Diglett's Cave, when it was still a Diglett. i trained it til it evolved, cause i was going against Lt Surge in Vermillion City, who specialises in Electric-type.
so Vermillion was also where the S.S. Anne was. and there, i battled my rival again. if you remember my blog post from way before, the one about the conspiracy theories. the one where we supposedly kill our rival's Raticate.
well first of all, i did not injure the Raticate that badly! in fact the other Pokemon got hit worse. secondly, there was one room where you talk to a girl and she heals all your Pokemon. she did that for me ok, why wouldnt she do that for rival!?
anyway, i didn't immediately went to Lt Surge right after S.S. Anne set sail. i went around Kanto for a while actually, all the way to Celadon, where i caught a few more Pokemon and soiled Team Rocket's evil plans at the game corner.
currently i'm at Saffron City; the Silph Co. Building. i just bumped into my rival, who has admittedly grown much stronger than me.
apart from that, i'm training Growlithe and Charmeleon to go against Erika from Celadon cause she's a Grass-type expert. i can use a Fire Stone to evolve the former to an Arcanine, but well, i'm waiting for it to be strong enough first.
i think i should stop talking about FireRed now. or more like babbling if you're not a Pokemon fan. my apologies. though most of my loyal readers are fans of Pokemon too {:
if you've been wondering what happened to me on Ruby, well... i stopped playing after the Groudon episode. i was really damn irritated with it, til now. so yes, taking a break from that.
when i was a young teenager, i had Punk Rock to be there for me through my rough times. with lyrics so fun when i'm happy, and meaningful when i'm sad, it never failed to get to my emotions.
in my young adult years, i had Pewdiepie when i had nobody else. he made my days so easily without even knowing it, and watching his gameplays made me forget all the crazy things that were happening for a while.
but Pokemon's the one that has been with me my whole life. i still remember back in those days when i wasn't so knowledgeable about the strengths and weaknesses of the different Types; i always got defeated so easily.
now, i feel like such an expert when i defeat so many gym leaders on my first try! not only do i research on the Types' strengths and weaknesses to get through the game, but i do research on conspiracy theories about the Pokemon world too.
it's like a childhood friend that is still together with you. he grows up together with you. maybe as he got older he starts to become creepier or weirder [i'm starting to appreciate Sinnoh and Unova, okay?] or someone that you don't know.
i guess Pokemon is like a childhood friend of the opposite gender. at first, you just hang out and play together and stuff. but as you grow older, your thoughts start to mature. you want to know him better. you develop romantic feelings for him.
you know what? it doesn't feel like a hobby anymore. i think this is passion.
p.s. i wanna use Pokemon cards to decorate my walls.
