Hi there! This is just a casual video Let’s Play of the first Pokemon generation.
Pokemon? Really???
With the 2016 release and craze of Pokemon Go, and the extremely recent release of the new Sun and Moon, I figured we could all use a trip down memory lane back to the classic games that started it all.
Which version?
I’ll be playing through Red Version since that’s the version I like the best and that’s what I grew up with. (Actually I grew up with both, but I played Red before Blue) If you played Blue Version (or the Special Pikachu Yellow Version) you might notice some changes between the two but it’s nothing really gamechanging. I’ll try and discuss the differences as they come up, so don’t worry if you notice something that doesn’t quite match up to what you remember.
Ugh, a video LP with Subtitles?
Sorry, my mic’s quality isn’t up to what I would like to have in a good video LP, and screenshot LPs are a huge pain. The music in this game is really good though and a lot of the stuff looks better in motion. If you’re worried about grinding or repetitiveness though, don’t worry, because I will be fast-forwarding or cutting a lot of that out.
Spoiler policy?
Please try to keep heavy spoilers in tags. There’s actually a lot of surprises in this game and I’d prefer to keep the people who haven’t played the game in suspense. Anything after gen 1 is fine though, I don’t care. Absolutely no Sun and Moon spoilers, though, please.
You missed this thing!
This is an incredibly casual LP and definitely not a completionist one, but if you absolutely have to see me show something off, please tell me!
So I want to go hardcore discussion mode about the mechanical nature of this game for chil-
Sure, whatever, but let’s not go out of control, okay? Thanks.
