Gold's Journal
Getting all packed up and ready for my own quest, but first before I explore the land of Johto I decided to take a look back at Nintendo's adaptation of the journey of the famous Pokemon trainer Red. How well does it hold up?
Jigglypuff's looking eager. Maybe it knows Psychic or something.
Nope, going for Headbutt. Doesn't she know that doesn't work?
Actually, I think I heard the Pokemon don't have genders in this game. So how does Nidoran work? I guess we'll have to wait and figure that out.
Oh, hey, Squirtle. Neat!
And that's.... What the hell is that thing? I think it's Mankey, but that doesn't look like Mankey. It seems to be some sort of imp into ear erotica.
And a.... Porygon pinata? They sell those? Wish I knew that when I turned five, that would've been cool to have.
Okay, who let a Vulpix run wild in a beauty salon? That thing looks like the kitsune equivalent of Elvis.
I'm guessing the reason I heard they didn't put Pichu in this game is that Raichu ate all of them.
SRS Poliwag?
Oh, hey, a Jolteon that looks decent. Sorry, your only company so far is Squirtle and maybe that styled up, sexified Vulpix.
Join the club, Bulbasaur.
This isn't any fun if you're actually going to try, game. C'mon now.
Should I put on 3D glasses when Hitmonlee is on the screen?
You remember Raichu? I think Chancey ate him.
Or possibly Chancey and Raichu have been stealing all of poor Snorlax's food. Look at that thing, it's flexing - it's ripped by Snorlax standards. Got a one-pack going on there, impressive.
I kept getting Porygons and Poliwags, so moving on to the actual game now.
I already kind of live in the world of Pokemon. Not really all that exciting - mostly you just run into Pidgeys and Noctowls you can beat by breathing on them. Every now and then a Sentret.
Do people actually call you Prof, or are you just trying to sound hip by 80's standards?
Oh, hey, a Nidorino. Maybe that rumor I heard about this game not having genders is false. After all, of picking a small handful of the Pokemon in the world, why would they pick a handful that have gender as a central part of what they are? This makes me hopeful.
I gathered by the "Pokemon Prof" thing. How do you pronounce that anyway? Pruf? Prawf?
Wait. . . Wait.
That's not Blue. That's not Blue. Why isn't Red an option? That's the guy's name! And what kinds of names are Gary and John? Are they just obscure colors or something? Because they don't sound like it. Why isn't Red an option?
And there's Blue! What, do they expect people to double up and name them both Blue? Or do they honestly give Red as --
Yep. Along with weird things like Ash and Jack. Ash if it were a name sounds like kind of idiot's name. Like the sort of guy who'd pass on legendaries and Charizard and stuff in favor of using a Pikachu.
Well, apparently Red and Blue's game counterparts need names. What should I go with?
