Hello, peoples! PAPAYA here, and welcome to the write-ups of the first two episodes of Pokemon FireGold! So let's start with the first one. Yeah, about that surprise in episode 1...uh, well I might as well tell you what happened. You see, originally Alex from the great Red Squirtle was going to provide the voice of Oak for us. Unfortunately, he and the rest of the guys have been really busy as of late and I had to do the voice of Oak after all. I feel I didn't do the character justice but it is what it is. Now, to the plot.
Had to start accordingly to the game with the introduction featuring Oak and Gold. I remember that in this game, you didn't have a potion in your PC waiting for you like in Red, Blue and Yellow. As you'll find out later, there was a reason why. I decided to include that Fat Guy in New Bark because I remember those times when you went up to him and all he ever said was "YO, Gold!" As you can probably tell, all the voices up to this point have been me except the Narrator, voiced by Arch Canine. I'm Gold, Mom, Oak and Fat Guy. Then we get in to Elm's lab and introduce to you Draftmaster's voice! Self-explanitory shtuff in the lab, DM also voiced Elm's assistant. Then we get to ???, also voiced by DM. At first, we were gonna have him sound like a normal dark person but when DM started talking like Steve-O, I thought that would be better, as it would be serious and funny at the same time and DM agreed. When ??? kicks Gold, that sound effect was of the fighter Jago from Killer Instinct, one of my favorite fighting games of all time. In an unrelated note, PAPAYA wants Killer Instinct 3, Rare! Anyways, we get through a battle where we show your newly acquired Pokemon always had a berry with him and have the tour with the Old Guy, voiced by DM. After meeting that berry guy who always gave you a berry even after you got one from his tree and youngster Joey (who sounded a little too old for a youngster,whoops), Gold meets Oak and gets the egg from Mr. Pokemon. Again, I felt Alex could've done much better shtuff but life tends to catch up with everyone when you don't want it to. Anyway, I did what I did and didn't think it was too bad. Then Gold's PokePhone rings with a funny ringtone provided from DM's cell phone, he had a bunch of sample tones in his phone and we decided to use that one. Elm calls Gold like in the game, setting up the cliffhanger for Episode 2! Yeah, editing wasn't the best in this episode but it would improve in the next one.
We find that Gold is in no hurry to help Elm and can we blame him? No, because we have to know who wins the battle between youngsters Joey and Mikey. Mikey wins and off Gold goes to find ??? coming up to him. So, then ??? sends out his Totodile...wait, WHAT? Did he actually...NO, he didn't. YES HE DID! Something we always wished happened did! ??? stole the Pokemon Gold can easily kill, Chikorita! It was AC's idea to have Silver do that, killer idea. After Cyndaquil gets angry having being tackled, he used his back flame to kill Chikolita! He doesn't need Ember! Hahaha...yeah, anyway, back at Elm's, Gold finds some red stuff on the floor. It turned out to be the Assistant's fruit punch spilled on the floor and all over him thanks to Silver. All this was DM's improvising and I felt it was great. All the shtuff from the game occurs, including the officer letting you name your rival what you wanted. The plan always was to name him Silver so no, we didn't consider any other possible funny names. Hmm...how did we send Mom money from far away, exactly? Well, she'll never tell us. Gold then meets the lispy-voiced Dude and catches a Hoothoot! Lucky for him it was nighttime, otherwise it would've probably been another Pidgey...maybe. And so, Gold sets off on his loooooong adventure on the road to Johto.
So yeah, that's pretty much it! As far as Episode 3 goes, I admit that I haven't written it yet! I should get started soon. Until then, enjoy the first two episodes and I'll talk to you all again later!
