Episode 43: Perfect Pitch
- I hope everyone appreciates the pun in the title...Ya know. Red is pitching Brock for mayor...It's pretty funny...
- In every new city Red gets to, we have an episode dedicated to exploring the non-plot related areas. What I like about this one we did, is we had a motive for Red to actually go all around the city.
- I hope the whole copy cat section wasn't too confusing. In the game, copycat looked exactly like the player character and it is implied that copycat is repeating everything you are saying...also she has a talking Doduo.
Episode 44: Dragon Brock Z
- I'm sure the reference is obvious in this one, but it's based on the Dragon Ball series.
- To hammer home our love of the Dragon Ball series, we used sound effects and music from the series.
- Annnndd surprise! Red gets another pokemon for his party! I hope you all like Hitmonchan.
Episode 45: Vocal Opinions
- Ever since we started the mayor story arc, I wanted to include Brock singing a rendition of Two Perfect Girls at the debate...and boy did we do it!
- I'm also glad I was able to retcon the whole reason Brock got arrested back in the early days in episode 5. Some of our jokes were just awful then...
- The song itself was a combination of two different instrumentals of the song. I wanted to keep the piano intro from the original but because that version kept the background vocals, I had to cut it and switch over to the jazzy version of the song. They're also in different keys so I had to down shift the jazz version to match the original version. I also down pitched the whole song in general just so Brock could sing it easily.
Episode 46: Brothers in Arms
- In the Red/Blue games, there are four Rockets who announce that they are one of four rocket brothers, They don't do anything but somehow they've always stuck with us and we had plans for them early on. Our original idea was to have them be Rockets that existed in the series already, but that changed.
- While editing this episode, I wanted music for the Youtuber Rocket and the Podcaster Rocket. So what did I do? I searched online "Upbeat Vlog Music" and "Podcasting Music" and easily found what I assume to be common music for those mediums.
Episode 47: Tri-Attack
- The original plan for this episode was to have both Blue and the Giovanni fight. As I was writing the episode, I realized that wouldn't happen.
- Once again my Friend Matt makes another appearance, this time not as a lead character
- In the middle of the fight we had a guy run in and throw out a Lapras. In the games, there is a guy who gives the player a Lapras. Since we didn't want Red to have that Lapras, we used that character as a gag instead.
- Our unofficial fourth member, Michelle, did not want to voice the Lapras in this episode, but we forced her anyway.
- The heroic music that accompanies the guy with the Lapras comes from Chrono Trigger, a game we often use music from.
Alright! If you're still here, you get a bonus! The trailer for the next episode! The showdown with the bad boss himself Giovanni! Here Take a small sample from early on in the episode!
Be on the lookout for that next Friday! Until Next time.
