More time passed since we finished episode 7. Episode 6 was still incomplete but we needed to do more. So we decided to continue onto episode 8.
This episode takes a jab at sitcoms, you know with all the laughter at not funny parts. So that was the "Joke of the Episode". The episode begins with an officer scolding Red that he was gonna break the law. What a weird law that is, NO YOU CAN'T CUT IT DOWN WITHOUT THE USE OF A POKEMON. Then officer Benny reveals to Red that "cut" is on the S.S.Anne. When Red gets on the boat, he wanted to go
"Down the hall and to the left"
But he gets distracted and forgets...poor Red. He finds himself in the kitchen and the three chefs say something familiar....well to Disney fans it may sound familiar....That's right it's from the song "Be Our Guest" which is from the movie "Beauty and the Beast". Speaking of the chefs, the three chefs was all three of us (including Taco Man... the guy who is Red and Squirtle....that's pretty much it). Later when Red battles the guy with the funny accent and the both send out their pikachus, I absolutely love the pikachu conversation followed by the laugh track. I thought that that part was funny. Poor...ummm...trainer guy, Don't you hate it when your pokemon forget their moves and replace it with explosion. And don't you hate when your pokemon blow up for no reason at all?...yea me to. Red makes a remark that Voltorb probably can't learn electric moves, well....he's right. In generation 1 Voltorb can't learn electric moves by leveling up, poor guy.
Later when at the front of the boat, Oh we got Trouble, right here in Vermilion city (boy I sure hope someone gets that reference) It all begins with a non pokemon song starts to play and the line
"WHAT'S THAT IN THE DISTANCE"
I like how we make a joke about the Minnesota Vikings and then a few days later, they went on to destroy the Giants (sorry Giant fans). The music we used here was from a game called "The Lost Vikings"...yes we did that on purpose. The line
"Fresh Roasted Farfech'd"
Is quite the tongue twister. We had to rerecord that line because Taco Man stumbled on it.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger. Red is trapped and his pokemon are now gone as well. What will he do? Well...come back this Friday for a trailer for episode 9 then wait another week to see the epic conclusion!
FAVORITE LINE TIME- "MAGNE(BOOM)"
We are still looking for female voice actors! Please consider! We want to do this one episode, but if we don't find a girl voice, we can't do it. IIf we don't find one by February, then we will just have to skip the episode.

Episode 7: He Never Joined the Army
-Cue tumble weed-
A month had gone by since we recorded the first half to episode 6. While waiting I would be writing scripts for future episodes. Eventually we decided to just go ahead and record episode 7 and come back to 6 later.
This is Brock's fourth non holiday episode appearance. Our team just loves him that much, but he is quickly kicked away by Red...unfortunately Red doesn't like him much. The line...
Brock- Can I at least ask you one question?
When I wrote that...I didn't have a question in mind for him to ask, so your guess is as good as mine. When we get to the man whose TM got stolen, editing this part was really annoying for Taco Man because, both he and Master of Rock were being very quiet (not counting MoR's scream). Later when Red battles the Rocket, you may have noticed a familiar sound effect. Well...it was used in the second half of episode 6 when Squirtle tried to use thunder. That is our new "I don't know how/can't use that move" sound effect. What it is really is a noise maker Taco Man had in his basement. While recording this part, I was both Rocket and Pika-Squirtle. So switching between voices was really tough. I actually had to rerecord Pika-Squirtle's final attack on Drowzee because I accidentally did it in my rocket voice.
Later when Red is fighting Fishy, Pidgy makes one of his rare appearances. Poor guy, gets killed almost instantly. It's amazing that a Magikarp takes out two pokemon within seconds, but no Magikarp is safe from squirtle....though squirtle does get his butt whooped by that fish. I don't blame him, Fishy is a tricky one. For some reason Red thinks of bunnies, while recording that line, I just started cracking up. I couldn't help it, it was just too funny. That was also one heck of a maneuver Red thought of to beat Fishy, that pretty much proves that he can battle seriously against people. For the crunch sound effect, we just took a water bottle and twisted it. It does sound legit, we also used that in technique in episode 3.
FAVORITE LINE TIME- Should I have called the cops on him?
Come back this Friday for the trailer for episode 8...and maybe another suprise as well ;)
Oh! and looking for female voice actor for a future episode. Contact us at redsquirtle1@gmail.com if you are interested. It would make all our lives easier if we could get a girl voice!

Red Squirtle Episode 7 Trailer
| episode7trailer.mp... |
Here is the trailer for episode 7, which will be up next friday! There was less material for me to work with this time, so I think it's a little shorter than usual (of course, not as short as last weeks trailer!) So without further ado, enjoy the trailer!

Episode 6: The Dragon Gym
This episode began the time where our team started recording other episodes because initially we wanted to get a girl to record her part...but pretty much any girl we could find was not willing to do it. So we recorded up to where misty comes in and put it off and started recording others (yea we have up to episode 10 recorded shhh). Eventually time was drawing near where we needed to get this episode done. At that time episode 7 was done and episodes up to 10 were written...so we NEEDED to get it done. Our team was sitting near the computers thinking if I was gonna be me as misty or master of rock. Eventually master of rock got a brilliant idea! He would be angry misty in his "Dockhag voice" and I would be misty in....well a less annoying voice then I did the other girl. Little did we know that it was going to work out sooo well
Okay...let's move onto the episode. So it begins with a loooong story.....about rubik's cubes. The whole concept of this story was based on me and taco man blurbing out a random year. That year happened to be 1974...and it just so happens that it was the year the Rubik's cube was invented. So from there we looked other events from that year. For example, the small part mentioning the movie "Earthquake"...Earthquake was released that year. The part about the audio message to Hercules constellation is also real...I think. Remember the part:
"TEAR DOWN THE GREEN WALL... so we all ran towards the green wall...than everything turned bright pink"
hmmm...Tear down the wall.....pink floyd...sound familiar?
This episode is when we really started to use more sound effects. My favorite is the Water Gun sound effect. But something that we used that I absolutely loved is Red's thinking process. It was my favorite part this episode. Our initial recording stopped after the battle with the annoying voice girl and didn't continue til much later with the actual battle. The part where Squirtle tries to use thunder, you probably heard an unusual sound effect. This is the "disabled" sound effect used in episode 7...oops. Next is the dreaded "That other move" the original idea was to have an explosion at the end, but to still have Squirtle alright. But we have been playing around with Audacity a lot and master of rock put together that...and we absolutely loved the idea...as for what happened....i don't wanna find out (shiver). I love the part immediately after "That other move" where everyone starts celebrating and acting like Squirtle did not turn into a demonic foul beast and completely murder that Starmie. I love how Brock appears in this episode to explain TM 34. When writing this part, me and Tacoman chose a TM at random...and it just so happened to be the TM that Brock gives to the player.
FAVORITE LINE TIME: Red-...can I have my badge now
Come back this Friday for a trailer for episode 7. It's a fun one
