Hello June

Hello Red Squirtle fans! 7 days ago we finally released Episode 22: Something Smells...Fishy. Let's talk about it a bit. Yes the return of Fishy happened. Lots of hard work went into this episode, especially editing wise. Lot of sound effects were used. A lot of over dubbing were necessary to give the effect that a lot of magikarp were there. I hope you all liked that. One of my favorite magikarp is the one that yells "MAGIKAAAAARP" It is one of the most distinct magikarps yells. I really enjoyed what I call "16-bit metal." When Fishy evolves music from Yoshi's Island is played.

So for the first time, Growlithe tastes defeat which, up until this point, seemed impossible. Do not underestimate Fishy.Red then sends his Pikachu... that might not have been the best idea out there. Gets dragon raged in the face. Much like the anime, we make dragon rage waaaay more powerful than it is supposed to be. In the games it does 40 hp of damage....here it destroys EVERYTHING. Even the mighty Squirtle couldn't hold up against Fishy and Fishy beats Red...hard.

All in all, there really weren't too many things to discuss. I felt everything was self explanatory. I hope you all enjoyed the return of Fishy and I hope you all will be looking forward to the next episode. We are not sure when it will be released. It all depends on how many episodes we finish. We do have it recorded however.

Let's take a look at episode 30 predictions!

Brian said "I predict Episode 30 will be the 15 year anniversary of Red Squirtle" and to be honest doesn't sound too far off from what I think.

PAPAYA said "Red should be on his way to the Pokemon League by then, I think." Hm, if Red sprints I suppose

RSamp;amp;FGlover (as blogger puts it) said "I think Red will be trying to get the Seafoam Islands and realize that, somehow, by going through the sea route, in the place where Growlithe is weakest, Growlithe is struggling to keep his uber glitch. Should he fail, Growlithe loses his uber glitch and goes back to level 15! oh the suspense!!!" Interesting prediction there I have thought about seafoam and the powerplant. Don't you guys worry.

Waterboy11 said "Red finally meets a legendary but passes out and has to keep trying to catch it without fainting over and over." Again, I do have the legendary Pokemon in mind.

B-rad said "Red will make his way the the power plant, complain about how far out of the way it was, accidentally defeat zapdos but then joke about how it re appears when you walk back in! (at least I remember something like that, it's been awhile since I've played blue; maybe its when you run away and come back...)" and it wouldnt be complete without someone predicting Zapdos. Red will be going to all the areas where he could encounter a legendary.

As for a question this month How do you think Red will get back to Fuscia City?

Also I think I have a good idea what episode 30 will be about :D

Summer plans

Hello everyone, let's talk about the summer. We want to release more episodes. This month we will try to get episode 22 out. Also we will try to stock pile a bunch of episodes that we can release during the next school year. It will be a very Red Squirtle Summer. Our goal by the end of August is to have 7 to 9 episodes done. This way we can focus on school while keeping up with Red Squirtle. It's a win-win situation for everyone. We also feel Red Squirtle is neglected, so we want to fix that and finally complete Red Squirtle. With this plan in action we can go back to making trailers and more blog post other than the monthly ones I do.

I made this lil' fill bar. Keeping track of our work. I'll keep this updated as we go on

Question! Predict what episode 30 will be about. Even I am not completely sure, I haven't written that far yet.  See you all soon!

Better late than never :D

Hey guys it's April :D
also final projects and end-o-semester work aren't fun. Three weeks til my summer break starts.

...

Yeah I really don't have much to say here. The next real episode is in mid-editing but (due to end-o-semester work) probably wont be finished til May.
Question of the month!
uhh...How's your...April?

WOOHOO I guess school is sucking the creativity outta me!

How I write a Red Squirtle episode

Now for something new! I have a free night, so I will try my best to explain how I write an episode of The Red Squirtle. On my Red version, I have my Red Squirtle file, where I follow (almost) everything Red does. I have all his pokemon (with some HM slaves) and I only use Squirtle, Squirtle (Pikachu), and Growlithe (unfortunately not uber-glitched)

 For this explanation, I'm gonna use Episode 14: Saucy! as an example. All of our episodes begin with an explanation of what happened in the last episode. In most episodes (including this one) I like to open with an unrelated funny bit. Here is what we did...

Red- So…you dragged me out of there?

Squirtle- Squirtle

Red- Ah…okay. That solves that plot hole. Thanks flanger hanger danging durgen

Squirtle-…Squirtle(kinda quiet)

Red- Excuse me?

Squirtle- SQUIRTLE

Red- Flanger hanging danging durgen…is something bothering you?

Squirtle- Squirtle!

Red- You don’t like your five star name?

Squirtle- Squirtle!

Red- Oh…I didn’t know

Squirtle- Squirtle!

Red- I’m…I’m sorry

Squirtle- (sniff sniff) Squirtle (crying like)

Red- I didn’t think it would hurt you so much. I hope that one day you’ll forgive me

Squirtle- Squirtle(no)

Red- Fine….if you want it that way…I’ll leave…..and scene! Flanger hanger dangen durgen, if we ever get our own serious show, we will get such high ratings

Squirtle-…squirtle

Red- oh…you still want to change your name?

Squirtle- Squirtle

Red- oh okay

 I feel doing this is a good way to get into the story of the episode, so you don't begin too heavy. Soon after, Red goes off on a new path, this is where I start going on online guides as well as my Red Squirtle file for information about the new area. In this case, there are a bunch of trainers. Here I'll have either a battle or a small bit of dialogue. Here I just chose a lot of dialogue with various people

Red- I swear that pathway wasn’t there before…

Guy1- Hey no shoving

Girl1- I need my space

Guy2- really? You need that much room?

Girl2- maybe if you lost a few pounds you would get more room

Red- Hello people in a line!....whatcha doing in a line in the corner where no one walks and some people are facing a wall…

Guy3- ummm…waiting for people to walk infront of us…

Red-…yeah I don’t think any sane person will walk up there

Guy4- like what you are starting to do

Red-huh? What? LEGS WERE GOING THE OTHER WAY!

So Red made it to a new city, I'll spend a lot of time walking around the city, talking to people, deciding what Red should do. This is where I really get into what the episode is about. Here, Red goes through the pokemon mansion and gets the Eevee, which he finds out later, is very saucy. So the episode is focused on Red going into a new city and getting the Eevee. What better way to introduce a pokemon than a battle? I look around and find a battle Red could get into without the battle lasting too long. I look on the online guide and find a medium sized battle around 3 or 4 pokemon. I found a gambler with poliwags/whirl.

Battles can be hard to write for. If its just attack then attack then attack, it can be boring. Looking back to older episodes, I did not perform the art of comedic battling well. I think in this episode it is done fairly well especially since we did something completely unexpected, the singing part. This helps keep the audiences attention. So Red wins and I decided I accomplished what I was going for in this episode. So I let the announcer summarize the episode and give a small hint to the next episode and I call it a night. I'll come back to the episode later a few times, read it out loud by myself and make sure everything sounds right. I'll make changes if I need to (which pretty much is 100% of the time) After a few revisions, I send it over to the others, if they catch anything I change it and resend it. Also right before recording, we do a read through as a group and if any else needs to be changed, it is.

Hope this gave you a small insight on how I write the episodes, I thought this was fun to write. See y'all later!

And here rolls March

First I would like to say sorry we didn't have anything up yet, Taco Man had a lot of projects to do.  This month we will definitely have something up. I promise!

Next! lets go over the date question of February. How would a date between Red and Misty or Red and Erika be like?

This month got some very interesting responses, let us go!

B-rad thinks it'd be like this... "All I know is there would be a LOT of yelling and singing and Red would want to eat chocolate... lots of chocolate"
Twinkle twinkle little star...

Ryan says "Well, a date with Misty would probably end up in a huge argument on wheather the sun is yellow, or if it is in fact orange...........And a date with Erika, well, if Red was upset from the Pokemart selling drugs for Pokemon, it would end really badly, not to mention Red having to put up with Erika's "lovely" singing of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.....Red would probably have more fun with Brock."
Suggesting he'd like Brock more? that maybe a tad much

Annony thinks that "Since Misty is mad at Red for losing to him because of That Other Move and Erika thinks he is a one-year old, Red should bring his Pidgey with him since it has a lot of fury and can roast his opponent's onions easily if Misty wants revenge or if Erika starts annoying him by singing, that or he can fly away when he becomes bored after 5 seconds."
Honestly...I can see that happen

PAPAYA ponders "I have a hunch that both dates would end with a certain blue squirrel/turtle creature using a certain other move."
He thinks this would end in a complete disaster and...I could see that happening as well

James simply said "SO MUCH HORRIBLE NOISE"
I do agree

ComputerBug says "Huh, that's a thinker. I would say that Red would order the veal at a resturant on a date with Erika. Erika would then get mad at him for eating a baby Tauros and that would somehow turn into another parody of a game show where Brock would shave of all his hair, then kill Zapper so that he may be the host of "Veal or no Veal" (note: I am very messed up tonight). A date with Misty would probably end with both blood, starfish, beards, and oatmeal. GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!"
....veal or no veal. Veal or no veal. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh I do love that pun

while finally Tolvan makes a prediction about the next episode

Great turn out for last month! It was very entertaining reading them all.

This month I ask something a little more serious. Would you like to see the blog more active and if so what kind of content would you like to see on the blog? Give me suggestions because I'd like to do more stuff relating to The Red Squirtle.

~Alex

February...that certainly is a month

Hello Red Squirtle fans, honestly not too much has been going on. So lets dive into Brock's New Years Resolution.

-Our good friend PAPAYA said "To be Snorlax Pizza Man's Employee of the Year." I wonder if Brock is a good employee.
-Another good friend of ours, Anon, said "I think Brock wants to train endlessly so he can become the Champion, or at least become strong enough to take Bruno's place in the Elite Four so he can gain respect from everyone and most importantly Red." Red and respect? HA good one.
-Another good chap of ours, James, said "Well that's a pretty obvious one. He wants to finally get Red to love him! Or at least defeat him in a battle. Maybe both." I think the second would come before the first and we all know the second would never happen.
- Of course another great friend of ours, B-Rad, said "To not get thrown in jail again!" I'd say that's a good resolution
- And finally, we have another good friend, Ryan, who said "To open his eyes!" well if that happened, the world would explode.

Any Red Squirtle news? well...I'll say this. We are going to release something this month. If that doesn't happen. Yell at Taco Man :D

Hmm...this month is the month that has that one day called Valentines Day! How would a date between Red and Misty or Red and Erika be like? I have a one word answer for both. Disaster. See you all later
