The Deal with Episode 32 + New Trailer

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog. I hope you enjoyed Episode 32: Seven. It's another idea we've had for years and we're so excited to actually see it come to life. Doing episodes that stray from the plot line of the original Pokemon games tend to be some of my favorites (Jailbird, Vikings Awesome Adventures Part 8, the gym episodes and most recently Red Helsing and Seven) I'm sure if we strictly only did story episodes, we'd probably be close to being done. Enough with the intro! Let's get down to some fun facts about this wonderfully odd episode.

• All of Red's mundane activities were performed by not Taco Man, but instead Master of Rock. So from brushing his teeth, to eating cereal, to walking on grass. That was all Master of Rock.
• One of the news stories that can be heard during Red's Breakfast makes mention of a mysterious death that happened in Pewter City Museum. This is a reference to our second episode, Splashing the Cannonball. During our early episodes we had a running joke where someone would die at the end of each episode and a little girl died in the museum.
• I've gone back and forth on how we should end the episode. Would it be funny to have Red realize his mistake or play out the joke longer? Clearly I chose the latter

What will happen next? Well here's a preview for the next episode!


Huh...well...ummm...At least the wait won't be too much longer! Episode 33 will be coming next Friday!

Episode 31 Write Up and Brand New Trailer!

Sorry this one is coming up a little late, but considering our past waiting an extra week is like nothing. So Red Finally got his seventh badge. He did it. He got all seven. Let's talk about his journey to the seventh and final badge.

• The questions are written verbatim from the original games.
• I had trouble this episode coming up with ideas for a game show our characters could play in. One idea I had was to do Wheel of Fortune but I had a hard time making it funny. When I thought of Chain Reaction, a lesser known game show, I started running into the same issue. Then genius (questionable) struck and I had it so Red never comprehended the rules to the game.
• The music used in the Snorlax Pizza Bed was found searching on Youtube "Stereotypical Italian Music" and wouldn't you know it, it was the exact song I was looking for.
• The music used in the TrainersOnly commercial used a song called "Wildflowers" By Time Janis.

Alright, now for the time you've all been waiting for. What's gonna happen next? Well here is a small preview of what to come...


Coming Next Friday.

Episode 30 write up + a new trailer

I wanted to write this yesterday, but I forgot...So Episode 30: Red Helsing is a very old idea we've had. The whole story about Red running into Dracula and getting drunk goes back probably about four years and I'm very happy the way it turned out. A few notes about this episode...

• We clearly embellished the journal entries, but we do have reason to believe Mr. Fuji wrote them because of the short anime series Pokemon Origins which does imply Fuji did write them. However, the connection to Team Rocket is pure fiction, most likely inspired by Pokemon the First Movie.
• We did retcon Mr. Fuji's old voice. A little too...Japanese if you catch my drift.
• In the February 6 diary entry we did allude to the theory that Dittos are just failed clones of Mew.
• About a year ago I bought a huge collection of collision sound effects and this episode got some good use of them.
• The music used in this episode was an array of Castlevania music plus one Ghost and Goblins song.

That's about it for interesting facts this time around. Now for the time we've all been waiting for, Episode 31 trailer!!!!

Coming this Friday.
Unitl Next time!

Who says we're dead?

Hello and welcome back to the blog. It's been a while...a long while....a really long while...but The Red Squirtle makes it's glorious return in 2017. For those of you who stuck around, I thank you. For those of you who just stumbled upon us now, I wonder how that happened.  So with the intro outta the way let's discuss Episode 29: Offer?

While it's been nearly 2 years for us, it's been only a few minutes for Red as he finally reaches Cinnabar Island and what does he do? He wastes his time accomplishing almost nothing. Honestly there's not too much to write up on this episode. Red is Red doing Red things and Red-ing around. The only things to take away from this episode is Red now knows of all the legendary birds and he met some unique character at the end. Speaking of the next episode, have a trailer!




You can expect to listen to Episode 30 next Friday and I can't wait for you all to listen to it. It is a good one. See you all on the next post!
