Hey there, FireGold fanatics! I'm pretty sure 99.5% of you are expecting a write-up on the latest episode so, here it is!
The episode begins with the events that happen as soon as Gold defeats Silver in the original games. Once we got to the Farfetch'd chase sequence, we knew we had to include something out of the ordinary in it. Originally, we were going to have the song "Push It to The Limit" from the Scarface film (8-bit) playing in the background during the chase. However, I came across the "Breakfast Machine" theme from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and felt it would work better in a chase sequence environment, resulting in me using that song in 8-bit instead. Gold succeeds and gets his second HM, HM01! Once he makes it out of the forest, it turns out there's yet another spinning around trainer and, surprisingly, fails to avoid him. However, Gold leaves anyway at the beginning of the battle, even though it's supposedly against DA RULES of the Official Pokemon Battle Sequence Manual Guide. Honestly, after battling so many Rattata beforehand, I probably would've done the same thing. Gold then runs into a Drowzee and threatens to kill his Quilava on the way to defeating it. Why didn't Gold just run away after running away from the Youngster battle? Well, you'll find out the answer soon enough. Finally, Gold arrives to the next city and, as usual, misinterprets the name. I wonder if Violet the Random B**ch will ever leave Gold alone. Once Gold reaches the city, we felt it was best to bring up some of the places you can enter in the game before Gold heads to the next gym, including the Game Corner and the Radio Tower. The Quiz Campaign sequence is now one of my favorite FireGold moments. DM's Quiz Lady voice cracks me up every time I hear it, haha. By the way, I WENT TO INVADERCON II! =D
Also, we at FireGold, Inc. would like to congratulate our good friends and inspiration to start FireGold, the Red Squirtle, for 3 years of awesome amazingness! There has never been a dull moment listening to your material. Thanks so much for the many laughs you've given us and special thanks to you for mentioning us on your 3rd Anniversary special. Much appreciated!
Now, onto some news! We have something special planned for this year's Halloween. Chances are that it'll scare the crap out of some of you. Recording this S.O.B should be interesting, to say the very least. Expect that and Episode 9 in the upcoming weeks!
And, yeah! That wraps it up! Thank you all again for your support and taking the time to read our blog posts!
