No trailer this week
We are still trying to get back into our normal schedule after our long break. But this weekend we will have the episode up (unless something goes wrong...again)!
5/10/2010
Episode 15 and 16 are up!
Hey guys, it was nice to finally release new episodes again. Sorry for the wait, but now we are on track again. Let's begin with Episode 15: Friendly Feud. I call this episode the "problem episode". After the introduction of Brock, I had severe writer's block and couldn't come up with ideas. That's when the 2 week delay kicked in. During those 2 weeks Taco Man helped me come up with ideas and eventually got the episode done as well as 16 and recorded 16. On the second week, the week we originally wanted it release it we got everyone over to actually record the episode, we got it recorded fully, so I thought we would have no more problems after that....but we did -_- Since I wasn't in the same state at the time, we couldn't fix it. Until last Friday where we finally fixed our problems. Then we fixed the error and finished editing as well as finish up 16 and release them both.
Let's move onto the actual episode. In the beginning, Red has another talk with the Announcer. If you payed attention, he basically said what happened last episode (SHH don't tell him). The whole rant that Red was explaining in the beginning, was just something I noticed that the anime does. If you pay attention to the anime, pikachu always says something after ash that has no real purpose what-so-ever. I included that to tell the world.
The advice guy from the gym is a heavy gambler, as you can tell he was in a hurry to play more and very crudely told him advice. Of course I had to make fun of the oldman outside of the gym. During the planning of this episode, I wanted to give Erika a heavy smoker kinda voice.
In this episode I actually made Red kinda smart, he knew that none of his pokemon is good against grass, so he wanted to get out of this battle. Good thing Brock came to interrupt as well as tell Erika some secret gym code thingy to play a game of.....FRIENDLY FEUD! I thought that for this episode we should do another gameshow instead of a battle, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do for the next one yet.
The part with the nozzle is a from one of my personal favorite shows, The Venture Brothers, so I wanted to include that and of course Red's # 1 & 2 best friends are both Brock with Oak in third...Red really needs to make some friends.
This episode is the only episode that Red doesn't have half the lines, It was mostly me and Master or Rock, mostly Master of Rock. Oh and I hope you enjoyed Erika singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". It is always fun to revive the "AMERICA-A-A-a-a-a" Thing.
We then move onto the actual game with the first question "Name a pokemon that evolves with a moon stone" and of course Red's team steals the win on that one. Then question # 2 "Name a gym badge"...I also like to call this episode "Make fun of Brock episode" because we make fun of him so much in this episode, so in our continuing effort to make fun of him, we made sure his gym badge was not in the top 7 answers. The whole thing with the mispronunciation of congrats is because in the script I typed "congrates" so Master of Rock said it like that. In the end Red gets the steal and wins the game.
FAVORITE LINE TIME....okay more like LINES:
Zapper- alright then. Now that we met everyone let’s begin the game. Red, Erika. We surveyed 100 trainers. Top 4 answers Name a pokemon that evolves-
Red- lickitung
Zapper- with a moon stone. Is lickitung up there?
I love this one especially because Red said a pokemon that didn't evolve at the time period this game takes place in.
Let's move onto Episode 16: Where the Money is Made. In the begining I needed a reason for Red to go back in the Rockte game corner....so I just had him decide that he was never in there. I hope everyone appreciated my DBZ reference I put in there. In the first rocket battle, I decided to joke with the changing out pokemon thing you are allowed to do in the game. He tries to battle with eevee and...it worked!?!?! of course only when it was confused. Red ends up winning and starts his way down into the Rocket Hideout.....or as he would like to call it the money factory.
Later at the second battle he meets a rocket that sends out all his pokemon at once and being a good trainer, Red did not do that same. However he did end up winning when squirtle finally used icebeam again followed by the awesome sounding water gun. When the rocket says
"GO ALL OUT"
it's actually a reference to the Japanese trying to translate pokemon into English. This was Green version and the move tackle was called "Go all out" so I decided to throw that reference in :D
Not much has happened in this episode or at least not much to explain. In the end, we did cut Red's line on purpose, you will hear the rest later.
FAVORITE LINE TIME: Rocket2-…why’d we let him go further down? Isn’t our job to not let intruders go forward?
Come back this weekend for the btrailer....maybe...I hope we can do one this week.

Delays Delays Delays -_-
Episode 15 should be out....but our recording got messed up. So sometime this week we will get that up. We also hope to get 16 up this Friday as well (sorry for the no trailer). Taco Man would have to work this week. Anywho, a new month means a new poll. Here's April's Poll.
This months will be...
Which one of the colors do you like the best? Red, Blue, or Green?
...the fact that they are characters is purely a coincidence. I only care about what color you guys like.

Random Thing #2: Planting the Tree
| Episode 1; Plantin... |
This is THE very first episode of The Red Squirtle....obviously editing was awful, there were NO sound effects, characters sounded different than they do now and not to mention that the mic cut on a few lines like
" To fulfill my dream of -ching every single Pokemon on the earth"
and
"Do that -ang you do"
But we ended up liking -ang so we kept it.
This is the same episode just without Master of Rock, this was made before he was on the team. It also doesn't have lines we added later. Also the announcer was not thought of so it just ends with an old running joke we used to have.
"He's Dead" then it just stops.
Hope you enjoy.

Random thing #1: Red the Comedian
If you read all the write-ups, you would know about our ordeal with Episode 6: The Dragon Gym. So when we were prepping Episode 7: He Never Joined the Army, we needed a good effect for in head thoughts. We experimented a bit. I told Taco Man just to say random things. So he did, and we played around with the audio editing software to see what could sound like something someone said in their head...but it didn't sound like in head thinking, instead it sounded like someone was on stage. So I decided to add an intro and BOOM that's how this clip was born.
If you are wondering about the " the red thing moves up and down", it's just a bar in the program we use that tells us how loud or soft we are. Come back soon for more random things we did.

We need an extra week
Hey guys, Alex here. We need an extra week to work on The Red Squirtle. I've been having an epic case of writter's block and just barely finished WRITING it yesterday. The trailer we posted was just lines we recorded for the trailer. We actually have nothing but the script and the trailer done. So in two weeks expect episode 15 up. While you wait, I'll post various random crap over the weeks to haul you over...to begin, I'll start a new poll. Here's the results for the last one and I must say it was very....lacking
Only 8 votes? granted it wasn't up long , but the first poll had like 20 something votes. Perhaps we need to make more blog ads in the actual episodes. Now we move onto the new poll. Red recently got an Eevee. If he had a clue about evolution, what do you think he would evolve his Eevee into?Vaporeon? Jolteon? Flareon?

Episode 14: Saucy!
Saucy! With the ! after it. We begin with solving a plot hole....then suddenly we get serious (probably the first time ever). But then it ends up not being serious at all. Hmm...a serious show about pokemon....that would be interesting. Later when Red goes into the name rater. He rates him kinda a random number....yeah I chose it at random. BTW Squirtle is a lot easier to type than Flanger Hanger Daggur Durgen. Later Red decides to go back to the pokemon tower....again. If you listen closely. The ghost screams
"MARO"
Hmmm wonder why ;) This time we don't invade Red's dream like we did in Green Dream, instead he wakes up outside the tower again. Then he sees the pathway to Celadon City and decides to go that way. Red then travels to the Celadon Mansion. 1st floor is the Manager Suite if you couldn't tell by Red's mispronunciation. 2nd Floor we make fun of what we have to record...and it is literally an old computer and a microphone. Then Red stumbles onto...the future. Too bad he didn't say much about what was gonna happen. 3rd floor is our meeting room where we act as ourselves. Since I have power, I somehow got professor Oak here to help out Red. Then Red travels to the back of the Mansion where he learns about the complex trading system coughcoughgivingeachotherthepokeballscoughhack . Then Red gets a brand new pokemon, Eevee. Red then gets into a battle and learns that she is not all that...obedient. Infact you could she is a little...Saucy. Get it! That's why we named it Saucy. WE ARE FUNNY PEOPLE....anywho in the middle opf the battle Red invites 3 people over to randomly sing...don't we all do that? If you are wonder, we didn't write it, we just replaced the words. It's a barbershop tag called "Smile" and it's very easy to learn and fun to sing. I hope you guys enjoyed it...even though Taco Man did make Red's singing voice...kinda...not that great. So in the end, Red wins with Eevee not listening to a single command from him.
FAVORITE LINE TIME- Red- I'll assume that's a yes
His line before that was "Hi Ghastly, Can I get through please?" followed by a "GET OUT"
We might need an extra week to finish 15. Can't tell you why, but you would understand when we released it. If we don't get around releasing it, I'll throw in a little bonus.
But for now bye bye.
