Episodes 41 + 42 write ups!

Hey everyone, Alex here back at 'cha with another hot blog post. This time we'll be talking about Episodes 41 and 42 today. So lets get to it.

Episode 41: Tough Crust
  • While getting ready to do this blog post, I pulled up the episode to listen to it again, and I realized I uploaded a 50 minute long file. When I investigated that, for some reason a sound effect was found at the 50 minute mark making it so long. So sorry if you downloaded that super long file.
  • If you're not familiar with the old Pokemon games, The dojo was marked with "GYM" while the actual Saffron City gym is marked with "GYM GYM".
  • The theme song for the pizza bed hails from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. It's called Beauty Hermitage.
  • I had a fun time playing with the pitch shifts on the music in this episode to help set the mood. Every time something bad would happen. I would pitch it down 1/2 step

Episode 42: Revenge of the Brockisode

  • So this episode complicates the Official Red Squirtle Timeline of Events (tm). So allow me to clear up a few things. Brock gets his job after his arrest in Episode 5: Jailbird. The week of events (fixing house, going to space, catching walking piles of gold) all happen during Episodes 7 and 8
  • The music when the Rocket Grunt (which we affectionately named Pizza Boy rocket) and Manager John is one the first results when you search for dramatic music, perfect for our Melo-drama scene. One day while watching TV. I heard the song play on a commercial and I nearly lost my mind.

I hope you're all enjoying our Saffron City arc with Brock. Earlier today we uploaded Episode 43: Perfect Pitch. Go listen to that! I promise I won't be lazy this month and actually make a trailer for this month's episode. Enjoy!
