The Return of the Trailers

On the next phase of bringing Red Squirtle back to its golden days, I'll be bringing back trailers for new episodes. But before we go to that, lets review our two comments about Red's New Years Resolution.

Ryan said "To use Pidgey more often.......and take back his Magikarp so he can get a mega Gyarados(even though this is only 1st gen). I love that thing!" Red has a pidgey? Oh yeah! Almost forgot.

Mongo said "Red's new years resolution? To get better at avoiding Brock, because to be honest, he's pretty bad at it. Although when they meet it's hilarious, so I hope he fails to keep it." They do always seem to run into eachother.

That's all for January's question.  As the trailer implies, Expect the new episode sometime next week. For reasons I can't say, I'm glad we are returning to a schedule with these next few episodes. You will see in the coming episodes. Without further ado, here is our new trailer.




Look forward to that, and I believe this wraps up this month's post. So as for this months question...it is February and that has valentines day so let's ship Red Squirtle characters. Who would you ship? I would ship Squirtle and Pidgey. They have been showing some subtle love throughout the entire series and I think its about time to let that relationship flourish. Remember Episode 34 when Squirtle and Pidgey had that small alone time? That conversation sold me on them.

See you for the write up

We released an episode!

Well its more like we released two. But yes, officially I have everything Red Squirtle related in my possession, including our library of sound effects. I hope not too much is different from how it used to be. So let's do some write ups, shall we? Let's begin with Episode H: Recapisode. As the name implies, I wanted to recap our entire story line thus far. We recorded this at the same time as we recorded Anniversary, Take 4. My plan (back then) was to get everything Red Squirtle and release this and episode 24 in October...but I couldn't get my hands on all the Red Squirtle stuff until just a week or two ago. As for the editin process of Recapisode, it was just a lot of finding music and trying to level audio to match Episode 23's volume. I hope this episode helped you catch up to what was happening in the series, in case you forgot anything. The sole reason why I wrote the episode in the first place is because of our lack of releasing anything.
Shall we move onto Episode 24? Because that has got a story to it! In my long term plans for the series, this episode was never supposed to exist. Next I would have essentially done Episode 25 in Episode 24's place. Why does this seemingly useless episode even exist then? Well it happened one night when Taco Man, Master of Rock, Royce, and I were all hanging out. During the night, we dropped off Royce and Master of Rock at their friends house and Taco Man and I left. On his way to drop me off, we got stopped by a cop. He asked what we were doing that late at night and Taco Man explained that we just dropped off a friend and he immediately questioned why we weren't with them. It was then I realized we had to joke about this. So that's where the first half of the episode comes from, the next half we decided to appeal to those who tried to buy a video game once but was not old enough. After writing the segment about the cop, I had to continue the uselessness of the episode. The only major thing in this episode happened at the last minute. What could this plan be?
Shall we move onto last month's question? Okay! Red is making his own winter holiday. How would he have people decorate their houses?

Ryan said "With big statues of himself.....and possibly Squirtle(s)....outside. He'd also have everyone put up stockings filled to the top with Chocolate Dunkaroos." Ya know, I wouldn't mind that because I like Dunkaroos a lot

Mongo said "Squirtle ice beams the word "Holidayyyy..." on the side of everyone's houses" I could see Red caring for this for about 3 houses then getting cold and going back

Finally,  B-Rad said "Simple: everyone has to dress up in yellow for a day. Think of St. Patrick's day, but with yellow!" So would I get pinched or water gunned for not wearing yellow?

Before we end off this post, I have a present for you! Bloopers!!!!!! Here are the bloopers for Anniversary, Take 4, Recapisode, and Episode 24: Rated (R)ed. Enjoy
Now as for this month's question, it is 2014 now and so, What is Red's New Years Resolution?

See everyone next month

Merry Holiday!

Hello everyone, man I've been quiet lately. Sorry everyone, I've been busy with school and blah blah blah. You don't care much about that. Also I think X and Y took away from me updating the blog. On a side note I finished it. I hope you all enjoyed our impressions of X and Y. There are a few things we did forget to bring up. The music! The music, man! How could we forget? We all liked it. My favorite track was Lumious City. Master of Rock also wanted to do a small discussion about why he doesn't like that dragons got nerffed. Other than that I think we covered everything we wanted to say about the game. Now let's see what you all think of it.

Mongo said "Pokemon X and Y are two very good 3DS games. The graphics rock, even though the 3D isn't used much. The music is AMAZING. I seriously cannot express enough how great the music is (to me at least). I enjoy the rather even mix of the new and the old Pokemon, although I wish new pokemon popped up a tiny bit more than the old ones, but that's a small complaint. The Mega Evolution I think are a very nice addition to the series, as they are not too overpowered, but there is a power difference. Team Flare and their fabulosity are amazing. I also enjoy how they try to space gyms apart more (at least at the beginning) So you aren't at level 50 in the after-game and cant do much to level. Pokemon Amie is ok, not great not horrible. I have not gotten around to Super Training yet... Sky Battles were kinda ruined for me when EVERY TIME THEY USED EMOLGA, and they are few and far between. Roller Skates were phenomenal, i love the tricks and free range of movement, and the bike was awesome too (again, free movement). Diagonal walking was a great addition as well. Can't say too much about the story as I have not finished the game yet (trying to enjoy the game to the fullest!) PSS is nice too, eliminating Pokemon Center's additional floors and trading and battle can occur wherever. Customization is cool to, but seems like they could've done a better job with it had they spent more time on it. I enjoy riding on pokemon too, but i wish it was in the game more. Overall, it is a great game, and, in my opinion, the best Pokemon title to date.Phew that was a lot! If you read this all you deserve a cookie." Funny you should mention that you like Roller skates, I know a lot of people who think that is the worst part of the game. I liked them too.

Ryan said "Best generation by far. I love almost every single Pokemon introduced in it, the music is outstanding, I absolutely love the mega evolutions and Fairy type, I can final EV train SO much quicker and easier now, the PSS is a great addition allowing quicker ways of battling and trading, and you can help your friends out with O powers. The GTS and Wonder trade are nice and easy to use, Pokemonamie is a nice addition(I love how my Quagsire waves to me when it notices me), I love the new moves introduced in this gen, and I actually like team Flare. The roller skates are awesome, the friend safari makes catching rare Pokemon easier and allowed me to get a Greninja with Protean, and it's so cool to see everything finally have full 3 dimensional animations. My only complaint is having to wait until the end of December to get my Empoleon for my Water team, but that doesn't take anything away from the game......and I'm definitely buying the soundtrack when it comes out. Lol" On a side note. I beat him in a battle GO ME. But seriously, he got unlucky with that battle. I so didn't deserve to win.

B-Rad said " Pokemon X and Pokemon Y The newest pokemon games. they combine the best of the whole series, has beautiful visuals, classic music, and great new gameplay. As well as balancing the OP dragon type, they have now OP mega evolutions. I really enjoy this game! I can't wait to have my Mega Absol and Mega Blaziken destroy all other pokemon trainers everywhere. In short: Buy a 3DS, buy one of the games, and have some fun times. On a separate note, did i mention the FREAKIN MUSIC?" I don't believe you did mention the music.

Finally, Carl Wheezing "THE BEST POKEMON GAMES EVER!!!"...so wait is firegold working it's way into real life?

I regret to say that we will not have a holiday special this year, but perhaps you haven't heard what we did last year or many years ago. That's right we have two holiday specials. Also Firegold released their holiday special, that is worth checking out. Later this month I hope to have everything I need in order to pump out more episodes. Finally, let's have a question! Red is making his own winter holiday. How would he have people decorate their houses?

Have a great day,
~Alex

Update!

Hello everyone Alex here to give you a little update on the current situation of Red Squirtle. First order of business, you may have noticed that the new anniversary episode is out. Well I edited that episode. We are officially announcing that I am the editor of Red Squirtle episodes. Once I get my hands on all the raw recordings, I can start pumping them out quicker. So after waiting months and months and months, episode 24 can finally come out this month (granted that the recording isn't lost). I also have anniversary bloopers coming out soon too. I hope you all enjoyed Anniversary 4. It has been a very fun and kinda slow series, but we are so happy that you all are sticking around for us. We also want to thank team firegold's PAPAYA for lending his vocal chords to us. Also later this month we will be giving you guys our Red Radio about the release of X and Y. We will tell the good, the bad, and the ugly. It will be honest critique, but I can say that we are all enjoying it. Lastly, lets look at the last question I asked which was What other food could become a pokemon? and this time we had a small  outcome let's look

Mongo said "A peppermint perhaps? Or a ground/grass carrot pokemon? What if they made a Rare Candy pokemon?? They have Voltorb/Amunguss so it kinda makes sense. Kinda. Not really." Is it bad I kinda like the idea of a peppermint pokefolk?

Ryan said "If they make another food based Pokémon, my guess would probably be a candy cane. I don't know why, but I feel like Nintendo would do something like that. It would be Ice/Fairy....and its weakness would be Munchlax" again, I like the idea of a minty fresh pokemon. I'm not sure why

B-rad said "Ah, the next food Pokemon would be a three evo with a mega evo. the first is a simple drop of water, i guess kinda like castform, then the 2nd evo is a glass plus the drop of water, so like magnamite, meets castform meets klank from b/w. The third evo combines the glass and water and glass to make a lone glass of water. Now for the Mega Evo. Glassofwater's mega evo would be silly but deal tons of damage. his mega evo transforms the small glass of water into a full blown water park complete with wave pool, slides, and a 5 star hotel. Boom i win the internet" If i could draw, i would draw this. You can pick up your internet tomorrow morning.

Other than that we are done for this month. As for the question...it wont be a question per say instead Tell me what you think of Pokemon X and Y. PAPAYA you are banned from this question if you decide to answer it. I know you opinion very well. Have a great October everyone and remember to be the chocolate dunkaroo on the 31st. G'day everyone

~Alex

And alas, August is here

Hello everyone, Alex here once again to write a monthly thingy, I think it is called a blog post. Jokes aside, I hope you all have been enjoying Red Radio in our time of no Red Squirtle episodes. I do hate leaving you guys with no content at all, so this has been a good alternative. Also as a side note, Taco Man wants everyone to know that he is indeed not a racist, although I don't think anyone thought he was from his yoshi comments made in Red Radio 3. It wasn't serious at all. As for August, we do have another Red Radio planned later this month, as for episodes, we are not sure. Without further ado, I bring to you last months answers for What is Brock's favorite flavor of ice cream?

Mongo said "Rocky Road, he is the Master of Rock, after all." Rocky Road becomes a theme for other answers as well. I totally should have seen that coming

B-Rad said "Brock, being who he is, would not be satisfied with any normal type of ice cream, so he'd make his own: "Pizza Ice Cream" it would be red in color, due to his obsession with Red, and taste like pizza dough!" I don't think Brock is a fan of normal types at all (see what I did there?)

Logananimeguy said "Any Rocky Road if it was dyed with red food coloring" Ah, a twist of the Rocky Road answer

Ryan said "Sock flavored Ice cream topped with cocoa pebbles." This answer reminds me of the Harry Potter jelly beans, with such classic flavors as grass and vomit

finally Tolvan said "Rocky Road, of course. I like Logan's twist, though, so it'll have red velvet cookie dough in it as well." and I'll add chocolate shuckles filled with caramel

Other than that not much else to say about this month. I'll leave you all with a question What other food could become a pokemon? If you don't understand what I mean look up some of the new pokemon. Bye bye!

We got it right!

Hello everyone Alex here and you all may be wondering "Hey Alex, what is up with that title?" well briefly mentioned in the new Red Radio we said we had issues making our second Red Radio. I decided I'll go into more detail right here (since there really isn't that much other new news). Our first attempt was a history of Red Squirtle and a discussion on each episode. The raw recording of this episode was over 2 hours long. Upon going into the world of editing, I was getting bored listening to it. All our discussions dragged on and we really didn't have too much to say, although we may return to the early history of Red Squirtle because that may be worth talking about. So I sent a message out to the squad and we would try again in a week or two. Our next attempt was to return to X and Y and discuss early Red Squirtle history with a short intermission between each section. As Taco man said in the podcast, it became outdated within days and we wanted to focus on the now rather than the then. So attempt three came along and we were all happy with it. If anyone is unfamiliar with Red Radio please go to our facebook page and view the slideshow during or before listening the podcast as we refer to it often...Now I know what all of you may be thinking "What is happening with the next episode of Red Squirtle?" and I wish I could provide you all with an answer. We will have the another episode out one day. That's probably not the answer you were hoping for but please stick with us. The major reason why we started Red Radio is because to give everyone something to listen while we wait for the next episode...that and because it is fun to do. Also here is a little fun fact, in the last Red Radio, we all mentioned a game we were playing, in editing, we used a song from each game in the podcast somewhere. There is something to look for if you're going to listen to it. But enough about that let's go to last month's....last 2 month's question which was "Where would Red go on Vacation? It can be a real place or a fictional place." Let us see what you all said

Ryan said "The Orange Islands. He's probably wanted to go there ever since the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town when he fantasized about getting the badges from there before he dies." You have a good point, he must know of the Orange Islands in order to dream about owning their badges.

Mongo said "Fiji. It seems like a fun place to go." I agree it does.

PAPAYA said "Yellow brick road. Because it's a road. With bricks. That are yellow. And Red likes yellow. Sure, it's not exactly a place, per se, but it's still YELLOW! -PAPAYA" Place: noun: A particular position or point in space. I do believe a road would be a place

B-Rad said "From Kanto, Red would hop upon his newly revived pidgey and fly from wherever he is at in the show, i forget what town exactly xD , all the way to Anaheim California and experience the majesty of Disneyland! Wandering around outside the park he would find out that it costs money to get into the park. Eventually Red would sneak into the park, steal churros,ride the fastest rollarcoaster in the park, get kicked out of the park for correcting people on the use of the word "holiday", and wake up only to find he'd been dreaming the whole time!" Right now in the show Red is on his way to Fuchsia City. Red does seem like the guy who would dream about Disney Land. I mean I do as well.

Logananimeguy said "El Dorado, it's filled with gold and do you know what color gold is? Yellow and he and his pokemon would be considered gods to the people" Red's dream! Shiny yellow bits!

Tolvan said "Realistically speaking, Pallet Town. Because that's where he always goes. Actually, I think he'd go to Nimbasa City. After all, Nimbasa City is the entertainment hub for the World of Pokemon, right?" I wonder how Red would fare in the Ferris Wheel with N, since he is a not so silent protagonist.

And with that we enter July, which is also National Ice cream month. So everyone appreciate the Vanillite family this month and hey let's have the question related to that. So...What is Brock's favorite flavor of ice cream?

We'll be seeing you next month hopfully with better Red Squirtle news. Small you later

Let us all welcome summer with open arms

Hello everyone and welcome to summer! This summer I wont promise any progress bar but we will work as hard as possible to get things done. We have a Red Radio planned and episode 24 shouldn't take too long (we hope). We may resurrect a few old things (Professor Oak Teaches Pokemon, Jack, etc.) and introduce a few new things too :O. All I can tell you is thank you for being patient with us, I know we are working slow, but we are so grateful of all of your support and we hope to deliver great content to you soon. Thank you all for your comments on Red Radio, were glad you enjoyed it. We did record another but it was waaay too long (2 hours?! WHAT?) and it got boring after a while. So we are going to redo it and make it more organized and concise. One more thing before we go onto the question, I have one thing to say. Look out for the next Red Radio because we will have a small contest with a prize! So to finish up this short post here is this month's question Where would Red go on Vacation? It can be a real place or a fictional place.
