so my copy of soulsilver is finally working glitch-free...

after i beat most of it on my DS to figure out the new additiotns to the story gameplay (i've run into a few already today), im considering doing a let's play video/pic montage/whatever it is everyone seems to be doing here.

i was wondering if anyone wanted to be in it, if so, then pick a pokemon (or just a type of pokemon if you dont want to choose a specific one).

so far my early party is going to be:

Rival: (unnamed)

-'Sars' - Totodile (though i personally prefer cyndaquil)
-(unnamed) - Spearow (to kill any bug/grass/fighting types i come across)
-(unnamed) - Geodude (learns magnitude early, great def.)
-Kima - Ghastly (immune to normals, epic spec atk. and one of the few who can learn the hypnosis/dream eater combo later on)
-(unnamed) - Mareep (electric, evolves into the awesome Ampharos)
-Baal - Scyther (bug/epic type)

Tyranitar.

Are you playing a patch? Does the English just sorta.... run out after a while?

certain items arent in english (because they havent been featured in previous pokemon games)
im supposing some of the new moves arent either--i have both the nontranslated and translated versions btw

im playing the nontranslated on my ds because thats the only version i could get to work without freezing on it, but for the LP i'll be using the english-y one.

so, starter's name'll be Sarbud?

No, I wanna be Lavitar/Pupitar/Tyranitar.

Actually, I wouldn't mind being Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligatr

Uh....

I'll be Totodile.

sorry, got typhlosion and tyranitar mixed up >_>

understand now.

EDIT: feraligator it is then.

found one for BOTH versions with lots of english text --though it doesnt work completely on no$gba unless you put this code in (set it as an action replay code):

true, but since most all of the important stuff is in english--and it can run without freezing from the antipiracy checks every 10-15 minutes--i dont think it really matters.

Oh, sarbud, what program do you use for your videos?

i wanna try my hand at the first five minutes or so and test it in video form.

I call Ghastly!

Remember that I let you have that same spot in Buu's playthrough.

updated the roster to accomidate kima's call.

also, I seem to have run into a slight speedbump--since the game is in japanese (and thus designed to accomidate it's phonetic setup), the player/pokemon names are limited to 5 letters, so sarbud's gonna have to think of an alias. I could put the name in engrish kana, but i think people would get mad at me for it...

I wouldn't.

But then again, my online name translates will into Japanese.

Shit, so many playthroughs...

Fraps. I use the licensed version though, the unlicensed version has a watermark.

FIrstly, what is English Kana?

My alias will be: Sars.

use kana to spell the name so it's pronounced in engrish.

Who pays for computer programs anyway?

point taken.

I call Kadabra.

I think he means to use Japanese Katakana text to get a Romaji equivalent of your name. Unless you know how to read Katakana, you probably wouldn't understand it.
