Hey, FireGold fanatics! Bet you thought you wouldn't get Episode 4 this quickly, didn't you? I'm afraid you're not so lucky...wait, maybe you are. Hmm....well, here's Episode 4!
It seems that there is still a lot of tension between Draftmaster and Fat Guy. This was one instance where maybe DM should've let him read the intro. After all, it was short as heck. We pick up right where we left off and find that Gold's trick did work. SURPRISED? He couldn't avoid Sage Chow, though. In this battle we hear that Hoothoot learns Peck out of nowhere. If Pokemon in the anime can get away with evolving at any time they want, why can't Hoothoot get away with this? The bird pwns both Bellsprouts and Gold manages to avoid the Sage in the next floor. He gets to the top to find out that he is in a battle against 3 different Sages. The music used here was Dream Theater's "A Rite of Passage" in 8-bit, so it's not entirely copyrighted, right? Hoothoot quickly pwns one but is pwned by the 2 remaining Sprouts. Cyndaquil pwns both at once courtesy of his back flame. We then find Silver harshly defeating Sage Li, just like in the games. I wanted Li to sound like Bruce Lee here because when I recalled the "Pokemon are not instruments of war..." line, I figured we could use the Emotional Content reference from Enter the Dragon because Silver trains his Pokemon with rage and harshness. After Silver has his 15 seconds of fame in this episode, Gold battles Li. We find out here that Cyndaquil learned Ember after he pwned those 2 Sprouts at once. I felt this was a great way to make up for his back flame running out of PP. 2 pwnages later and Gold gets HM05 and learns an important lesson about Emotional Content and anger. My imitation of Bruce might not have been the best but hey, none of us really can imitate him. After puking because of the Escape Rope, Gold finally enters the Violet City Gym! By the way, is it just me or is Disapparating from Harry Potter similar to using an Escape Rope? Eh, tell me what you think below. Why couldn't we use a sob story to get directly to Falkner without battling those two bird bastards? Eh, I digress. Falkner is voiced by Arch Canine, making Falkner the first real character he has voiced for us. Man, it sure was a pain to edit his lines with mine. So, who would prevail in a Kanto Birds vs. Johto Birds face off? The Johto Birds, of course! After Pidgeotto faints due to burn, the moment we all waited for occurs. Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava! Things are sure looking great for Gold now, but will he soon hit a wall? Hmm...we'll see!
That blooper at the end was DM and I messing around before we started recording the episode, I guess it was to warm up or something. But I felt it was one of the most spontanious and hilarious things we've done yet. If you all want to hear DM do the AHHNOLD impersonation more often, be sure to let us know!
And that's pretty much it! As always, enjoy the episode, stay tuned for the next one, and thank you all for the support! I'll see you all for the next write-up!
