Happy 2013, FireGold fanatics! We've now reached our 10th episode! We'd like to thank you all for the support that helped make this possible! With that, we segue to the write-up!
Once I completed the editing for this milestone, I immediately thought of using the Roman Numeral 'X' in the title to help make it stand out. We start out with Gold still in Goldenrod. I thought it would be great in this episode to bring up the rest of the things you can encounter in the city, minus the Underground Tunnel. After a very awkward exchange between Joy and a local pervert, the egg that Gold received from Mr. Pokemon hatches into a Togepi! Gold then goes to the Cycle-Bi Store and calls it as such, continuing the gag we've been doing between him and Violet, aka the Random B**ch. DM suggested that Gold fall off his bike as soon as he hopped onto it, leading to him learning how to properly ride it after 3 hours. He then goes where he really needed to go to advance the story and meets the Squirtbottle Lady. It was quite difficult to stay in character while recording because of that voice DM decided to use for her, haha. From there, Gold rides past the gate building and we finally discover that it is morning in Johto again after one of the longest nights in its history. Since it was now Thursday in Johto, it was time for tackle the Bug-Catching Contest. Because of the event, I figured that everyone on the path to the National Park would be at the contest, avoiding all those battles we usually encountered before the Park in the games. Gold chooses Drowzee to accompany him to the Park and the insane bug-catching adventure begins! When Gold misreads yet another sign, I figured that Gold would be so fed up with Violet at this point that he would use his Pokemon to help get rid of her. Therefore, Drowzee puts her to sleep and, from there, Gold fails to catch some of the stronger bug Pokemon. I figured that all of the contestants would snatch these Pokemon to the point that Gold would have no choice but to catch a weaker bug Pokemon. One Caterpie catch later, we go back to the Official and learn that despite Gold's lackluster bug catching, he wins the contest anyway. Then, Caterpie evolves into a Metapod! I think Gold will have quite a bit of fun with it in his party now. Looks like those trainers will regret ever interfering with Gold's bug catching experience. Gold then encounters Violet again and, with the help of Quilava, gives her a good roasting. We shall see if she gets the message down the line. We end the episode with Gold encountering a familiar Pokemon, one that will surely give him quite a hard time as he continues onward to the next city! Wow, now that I think about it, this milestone episode resulted in one of our shortest episodes yet.
Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to have a livestream with the Red Squirtle Squad! If you missed it, feel free to catch the recording of it on our YouTube channel now! We hope to have another one again sometime soon, it was quite fun.
Now, onto some news! We have a late and out of date Christmas special recorded. I'm still kind of debating whether or not to release it now since it's obviously WAY past holiday season. If you all still want it, tell us in the comments below, our Facebook, or our Twitter ASAP. If you do still want it, you can be sure that it'll be out sometime real soon. Also, we hope to record at least one more episode before we begin another grueling semester of college! Updates will be sent your way via our Facebook and Twitter accounts so be sure to follow them in the coming days!
And, yeah! That's about it! Once again, thank you all for 10 FireGold episodes and I'll blog ya all later!
