We watch Matt go insane: Let's play Pokemon Emerald 386!

[mattman324]

Hello, one and all! Welcome to this LP, as promised in a certain group. In here, I play a lesser known rom hack named Emerald 386, which is basically Emerald with all the pokemon obtainable. Of course, there is a steep price to pay: This game REQUIRES savestate abuse or massive grinding, and it is very good at making one going insane. Also, you need certain types of moves... if you do not have an ice move by Winona's gym, for instance, the game will not forgive you for being stupid.

However, since it IS emerald with harder fights and more pokemon, I'll gloss over people talking. You can play Emerald if you want that. I don't see anyone objecting, so let's just dive in!

Spoiler:

O hi thar Skarmory.

And this is why most hate the Acro Bike: it just isn't fast enough.

THEY SWARM! :paranoid:

Torchic, YOU FAIL!

What is that? :paranoid:

There's another one! Where do they come from? :paranoid:

THEY'RE AFTER MEEEEE!

Oh, it's just a bunch of legendary pokemon. Nothing to be afraid of. :laugh:

No, I'll be here all week.

...where was I before?

No, that's what you call a "Lotad".

Yeah, that's what Serebii and Bulbapedia are there for.

Like EVs and IVs!

Last I checked, I DO have the necessary Y chromosome for the job.

Greatest. Song. EVER!

CAUSE I'M THE SCATMAN! Skibby dibby dip yom dabap dope! Yom dabap dope!

Oh yeah!

Nope, I don't feel like it. When I go to the lab, it'll be because YOU take me.

...wait, let's try that again. :\

WHOA WHOA, HOLD THE PHONE? Why am I in the back of a moving van with boxes still moving around? Who wanted to kill me?

MOM! Who wanted to kill me?

:shocked:. IT WAS YOU?

... and then she sent some angry Vigoroths my dad sent to help move us in. I'm still running.

NOT SHOWN: I set the clock.

My mother noticed that I escaped into my room through a small doorway, and they couldn't follow me. She attempts to cover up the fact that she just attempted murder.

We WILL need this potion. VERY SOON.

Knowing that I have no pokemon, she sends me to Petalburg. I decide to ask the neighbors for help.

Oh, hey. There's always a fat guy who says "Technology is incredible!" He was in Pallat the last two, so maybe he's here now?

...

HOW COULD YOU HAVE MESSED THAT UP?

Suddenly, the mother ran at me with a knife! I did NOT, unlike the husband in Chicago, run into her knife ten times, and ran upstairs.

I see a pokeball in the middle of nowhere. It's booby trapped, most likely.

May appeared at that point.

She seemed friendly, but ran upstairs after a glare from her mother. Before the mother could go after me, I ran, far away from this crazy town.

The girl at the front allowed me to leave. Good girl.

Ha ha, perfect! :bandit: A trainer! I'll steal his pokemon!

YES! HAHA! He left his bag right out in the open!

Oh look, it's a Treeko! Let me guess, Torchic and Mudkip?

...

That's not Torchic. :shocked:

And that isn't Mudkip? Who came up with this?

Although, I DO like Squirtle...

STARTER RUNDOWN:

Treeko: Although his most powerful attack till Grovile at level 29 is an unSTABd Pursuit, he get's decent after that.

Cyndaquil: The first rival battle is evil. And Typhlosion's movepool blows chunks. The hard difficulty.

Squirtle: Good at most stages, gets the coveted Ice Beam. The easy difficulty.

Level 5 :9: vs level 2 Zigzagoon! Who will win?

Me. :rambo:

I'm stealing your pokemon. I hope you realise that.

I do now!

Something clicked: Maybe Dad could help me!

... well, that was unexpected. I guess I don't have to steal it now.

Well, I think this is a good stopping place. What's the name of my Squirtle going to be?
