Link to original post: Let's Play! Forum Version: Pokémon Fire Red ~ Chapter 1




I've finally had the time to do something like this. A Let's Play (for those who don't know) is pretty much a playthrough of a video game with commentary. I've tried making my own LP's before, but they always ended up in train wrecks. At the moment, I don't have a mic, and I'm in the mood to replay a game. So why not try something new for a change?

Many people have done LP's on forums before, and they're just as awesome as the ones you see on Youtube. Just throw in some screenshots, some text to commentate it, and you've got it. They're also a lot easier than the recorded ones. Hopefully this LP won't die until I completely finish the game; when I say completely, I mean play through the entire game, and catch all the Pokemon from the Kanto Pokedex (except for Mew, which I'll skip).

Me playing the game alone is boring, eh? Well, that's when you guys come in. As I play through the game, anybody can go ahead and post their ideas for nicknames, Pokemon in my party, moveset suggestions, and anything else you guys think will help or cause lulz. That's what a LP's for, right?

Please start posting your thoughts on this. If you want, you can recommend Pokemon you want on my team, and the nicknames they should have. Remember that Fire Red has some Pokemon Leaf Green doesn't, but is also lacking a few Pokemon Leaf Green has. I'll begin Chapter 1 either soon or tomorrow night. I started this thing a little late. :urg:

Huh, a screenshot LP. Well really the only screenshot LP I've taken the time to look at is Chewbots Animal Crossing LP (which anyone who wants a really good and humorous screenshot LP, should REALLY take a look at it). Overall though I think I can say I'll be looking forward to this. I do think Pokemon is overdone but if you're really interactive then this should make things interesting.


Also might give me some tips in case I ever want to do one. (Or I could just look at SA...) I only do video and tbh screenshot looks even harder than video on the contrary. But again looking forward to this.

Once you go to Vermilion, be sure to find the truck in the harbor. There's a Mew in there. Also, at the end, when finding Mewtwo, only have one Pokemon (Dragonite) on your team and use repel the entire way to him so that your Dragonite will evolve into :yoshi:.
In seriousness, could you name a Pokemon Wasp?

I loved Chewbot's LP, that was one fine read. Btw, your LP's are great. I watched through the entire Paper Mario one. :)

Truck in harbor use strength to left Mew encounteokf afsdjk fklsjf sdlfa;dfei

And yes, I think that nickname's going to Butterfree.

Don't forget Charlie and that freaking horse.

<3 Raocow.

I've never seen a forum LP before, but as long as it's entertaining it'd be cool.

Don't forget to use Magikarp. =D
Yes sir I will.

I love watching LPs, especially when its some noob playing a classic game...I was watching one where he was playing super metroid (which tbh I have never played) and it was fun watching him be absolutely stumped then in the chat box everyone was saying what to do. So yeah, this LP will be good.

Use Caterpie for me! You can evolve it if you want.
Haha, will do.

So it's already decided my Caterpie --> Butterfree will be named Wasp. Once I get to Lavender Town, we can rename our Pokemon anytime you want, you guys can just ask.

I decided to start tomorrow. Our rival is still in need of a name, and we need to choose a starter. Get voting!

Okay, I have to automatically make KOTH my rival. As for the starter, I'll end up naming it Solid if it's a guy, but as for the girls...

If you end up getting a Charmander (which it looks like it's going to end up being), you should nickname it "Agumon."

Go with Charmander. We all know that Fire > All.
Rival should be named G-Pizzle.

Order in the court! :mad:

1UPChris will direct this. He will start the voting process for names, Pokémon etc. Basically, don't swarm this with your suggestions until he ask for them. =/

Well guys, it's time to begin my journey.

If you haven't already, please vote on which starter you want me to choose. At the moment, Charmander is the winning Pokemon, but if you don't want him, make sure to vote. I personally thought Bulbasaur would win, so I'd have a bit more challenge.

I also need a nickname for the starter if it's female.

Chapter 1: Preparations



The game starts with the Game Freak logo. <3



Just like Red and Blue, this game has the Gengar vs. Jigglypuff scene... wait a second, where'd my Jiggs go? :mad:



Rawr.



Yeah yeah, we all know who you are. No need for a resumé.



Whoa there, I think you're rushing it... go ahead and check.



I kept the name Chris, because Pliskin seemed right for a Growlithe.



KOTH was the name chosen for my rival. Did I mention he was shot?



Somehow, Oak teleported me back to my room. Look, a SNES! 8D



Like most Pokemon games, a potion is available in your PC from the start of the game. I don't know the point of item PC's anymore, because they already give you enough space in your bag.



I also went ahead and changed my settings. It's a pain waiting for the text when it's on slow. You can tell these games were made for young children and up. Or maybe that settings for the mental. Hurrr.



Even after that long introduction, Oak still wants to talk to me. My mom says he's next door, but this only led me to leaving the darn town.



There he is. Where could he have come from? I checked the whole town. Possibly Cinnabar? What a ****.



The old jerk led me to his lab, where KOTH was. To my suprise, KOTH was diagnosed with cancer. :bee:



Uh oh, here comes the decision. ;-;



Haha, there goes a classic KOTH. I mean KKK.



And there they are. Tune in next time to see who's chosen!

Name your player Samus.
Then Name your rival DDD

Seeing as it's too late, pick a magikarp for one of your pokemon.

And I vote bulbasaur.

I wouldn't worry, SOLID. If he's going by # of requests, Charmander obviously has this in the bag; of course, maybe he'll go for some sort of "wtf" choice just to throw us off.

At the moment, Charmander has a 5-3 lead over Bulbasaur. Squirtle was eliminated because he's fat. :007:

I personally want Bulbasaur to win, but it's all up to you guys. The voting ends at 9:30 (eastern).
