Anniversary Write-Up and A New Prototype (unofficial)

Welcome to the Pokemon FireGold blog.  If you're here, then you must be a fan of the classic Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal games.  Where do I begin?  The fact that my partner in crime Draftmaster and I won the Anniversary contest back in September 2010 and were inspired by the great Red Squirtle to begin a sound abridging series ourselves?  Uh, wait.  That's the only thing that happened.  Since the Red Squirtle guys didn't know what we were thinking writing that script, I figure I might as well give you an idea of what it was like coming up with it.  First off, we thought of bringing up classic material from that series as much as we can.  That being said, we made sure we had that funny cave music they used in it when Red entered the Diglett Cave.  Figured Oak could be there in the cave since Pallet isn't too far from the Diglett Cave.  From there, we paid homage to Oak's character in the series and had Lt. Surge appear since he isn't that far from the cave, either.  We thought Surge would be pretty upset he never faced Red in an actual battle and lost two game shows that cost his team the Thunder and Rainbow Badges.  Paid homage to the series in the battle and had many Dugtrio appear since it was rare for Dugtrio to appear in the cave.  Then Brock ended up in the Viridian Forest after his Onix dug to the wrong location.  Since Red met the three awesome guys in Celedon and Brock just happened to be delivering pizza in the same city an episode later, I figured it'd make sense having him deliver a pizza to the guys and then they would've told him to deliver a pizza to Red for the anniversary party.  From there, we brought back some other great characters to celebrate, including Annoy, Misty, Blue, Oak, Erika, and her posse of grass girls.  From there, Red gets irritated with everyone saying he's a year old when he thinks he should be 11.  Only thing we regret not including in the script is Erika singing.  Then Red would've had a legit reason to have Dead Pidgey use Fly.  So yeah, that was pretty much the thought process.

Now onto our own material.  The official first episode is coming real soon.  Believe you me, we have a nice surprise for you guys in it that should get Pokemon FireGold kicked off in a big way.  Until then, enjoy the prototype episode showing you where we're headed.  Yes, Red Squirtle is gonna be a heavy influence in our series so you'll hear many similarities.  But in no way will we be trying to just copy them.  We'll try to be as original as we possibly can.  So yeah, until next time, Episode 1 is coming soon.  Talk to you all later!
