So what is inside the egg? A Pichu! Yeah I'm playing through the game using just that Pichu. Though it can and needs to evolve.
It was a boy and I named it 1 Standchu because it's standing on it's own in this playthrough. Though in this blog I'll call it Standchu for short.
I trained it up a bit before it's first trainer battle and it did pretty well until I got into Pettleburg Woods.
No it wasn't the Aqua grunt. He was a sitnch I spent a bunch of time setting up on him just to realize I didn't even need to.
No it was the bug catcher right after I started having trouble. Those dang Nincada with their ground type. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the problem that Pichu's only offense move is Thundershock.
The only thing I could do is use sweet kiss on it and hope it KOed itself in confusion. I almost beat it too. If only Sweet Kiss had more than 10 PP. I was tempted to use an Ether but PP restoring items are so rare I didn't want to waste it.
I'm regretting forgetting Tail Whip instead of Charm. If I kept Tail Whip I could make my foes take more damage from confusion since the damage is based off the difference between a Pokemon's attack and defense.
So I skipped that trainer for now and I'm probably going to have to avoid Bug Catchers and Hikers until Standchu evolves.
Which brings me to my next dilemma.. handling the first gym. I made it to the town it was at but Standchu needs to learn a non-electric attacking move before I can even stand a chance.
The gym is rock types but as you probably know in these rock gyms most if not all the Pokemon are also ground type, which resists electric attacks.
It can't learn Quick Attack since it learns that as a Pikachu at lv. 11 which he was already pass when I learned that. The only other move it can learn I can used is Slam at Lv.20.
Which is ironic since I always complain about how bad Slam is of a move, but it's all I can get.
So I need Standchu to evolve before I can take on the gym but it needs to be before Lv. 20 otherwise I think I'm screwed. Shouldn't be a problem if I just run around to raise Standchu's friendship but it could be a bit tedious. ._.
Well that's about it for now, just started the playthrough and I already need Standchu to evolve. I was kind-of hoping to enjoy Pichu's sprite for a bit more.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 1 Setting up
So I started my Pokemon Sapphire game over to do my first ever only run. For those of you who don't know, that's when you play through an entire game with only one Pokemon. The only time you're allow to use other Pokemon is for HM moves like Cut and Surf outside of battle. Normally you don't let the Pokemon evolve either but since I have to bring it over as a Pokemon egg I'm gonna make an exception.
So let's begin. But first I got to get to a point of the game I can trade the egg over before it really begins. I start the game, chose the girl...hey I never used her before so I wanted to try it out.
I move in and first thing I noticed is that the Brendan's theme (the boy in the game if you chose the female character) is different from May's theme (the girl in the game if you chose the male character) It's not different by much, but enough to notice.
So after talking to him. I head out and see professor Birch is in trouble and I need to choose a Pokemon to help him. I decide to go with Torchic because your rival, May if your a boy Brendan if your a girl, always has the opposite starter to you.
So since I chose the fire starter he'll have the water starter. Which is going to make this only run easier until that starter evolves then it's gonna be hardest I can make it on me. After all this only run is basically a test to see if I can pull it off in a recorded project. Worst thing I could imagine is starting an only run playthrough on my Youtube and have to cancel it because it's too hard.
So I'm going to use a Pokemon the same type as the one I'd want to use in the only run. And have my rival have type that completely resists my Pokemon. If I can beat the game with that set up. I should have no problem beating an only run for real.
After I save him from a weak Poochyena, (fail), we go back to the lab and he lets me keep the Pokemon. I give it the name Nanny since it's only purpose is to be there until my egg hatches once I trade it over.
Birch then tells me to go meet up with Bret. (I'm just gonna call him that from now on since I can actually spell it without looking it up every time. So I head over there and take care of that since I have to beat him before I can get the Pokedex and Pokeballs that will allow me to trade over the Pokemon I'm actually using in this Only Run.
After a little grinding to assure an easy victory it's battle time... and I beat him in 3-4 Scratches. I'm only at level 7 and he's at 5 I'm not that over-leveled. :p I get 69 experience and level up. :3 Now we both have to head back to the lab, to get the Poke'dex I assume. I head back, and I was right. I also got 5 Pokeballs and the running shoes.
I know just what I'm doing with these Poke'balls too. First catching a Pokemon to trade over for the egg I'm actually using in the only run, then catching a Zigzagoon. They actually make great HM slaves because they learn a huge diversity of HMs, including surf. Got to thank darkfool99's Ruby LP for that pointer.
And speaking of which, as I tried to do that my second wild encounter just happens to be with a Ralts, the rarest Pokemon on the route. I catch it but I don't know if I want to trade it away since it's so rare and I caught it so soon.
Not using it of course, it's still a only run, but teleport might come in handy till I get Fly. I go back to the first route because I wasn't having luck finding the HM slave I wanted and then I find and catch it. HM slave sounds too mean so I decide to actually call it HM "Helper'. :p
So I finally caught what I needed so now I can go trade the egg with the Pokemon I'm actually using in my only run, hatch it and finally begin this only run.
Just what is this Pokemon I'm doing my only run with? You'll have to find out in the next blog when it hatches.

Lets Play Upload plan for this summer
Hey guys it's been a while since I've made a blog but with summer finally starting to draw near, I think it makes a good time to thoroughly explain what my plans are Lets Play-wise for the summer.
This week and maybe rest of next week things will stay the sameish with Golden Sun being uploaded around Saturday and bonus videos for Mario Super Sluggers being uploaded around Wednesday.
After that though, my goal is to have a new side Summer LP being uploaded...get this, daily from Mondays to Fridays with Golden Sun episodes being uploaded on the weekends. So that would be 5 episodes of a new side LP as well as 2 episodes of Golden Sun every week. Chances are I won't be able to get videos out that frequently but it should be close to that and it is the official plan.
On top of that I'm planning on beginning a 3rd LP during the summer. I know the general rule of thumb is to never to more than 2 Lets Plays at a time but it's a special exception for a special site. Nintendo Worlds has their own Youtube channel and I plan on doing a Lets Play on their Youtube channel just for them. So you'll have to go to their channel to watch it but I'll be keeping a playlist of the playthrough on my own Youtube channel so you'll still be able to reach it going through my Lets Play playlist.
As for a schedule, I hope I can upload 3X a week but it could just be once a week with me already having so many plans on my own channel. I don't know what the Lets Play I'm gonna do for them is gonna be quite yet, but I'll hopefully figure that out once I actually get home and begin my other side LP.
I'll make an update video on my Youtube channel once I get a more finalized Lets Play plan but in the meantime, you can see that you can expect a lot from me in the near future. :)

Making Cuts
Well there's something I want to make sure I get out of the way. You see I just got grade back for a class I was struggling with last semester and I'm not happy with it. Furthermore, I'm taking one more class than usual including a class that gave me a huge amount of trouble so I'm going to make a few cuts with what I do on the internet until I at least get a feel of how much time I need to assure I do well in the course.
First of all, I will be reducing the number of forums and sites I go on down to a minimum so there might be some sites that I post comics to that won't be getting any updates for that period of time.
Secondly, I'm going back to uploading just one video a week per Let Play I'm currently doing instead of the usual twice a week. So Golden Sun will be updated only on Sundays while Mario Super Sluggers will be updated only on Wednesdays.
I am going to start with these changes and adjust them as I see needed over the next couple weeks. If I feel like I'm on a good pace for example, I might go back to uploading two Mario Super Slugger videos a week. If I feel I need more time, I might make more cuts. I'll at least meantion any changes I make at least through my Twitter account so you don't get too lost when I'll be uploading videos and comics.
One thing for sure, these two main changes will be in play for at least the rest of this week and next week as well. Only after the first week back to school will I make a further decision of what I can and can't do while giving myself a good amount of class time.

About me LPing in the New Year
Well I would make a video update but to be honest I don't know all the details yet of how I want to handle LP video uploads.
All I really have to work with at the moment, is 3 new Golden Sun LP videos made and around 10 but soon to be 12 videos of my new Winter side Lets Play.
Once I go back to school I won't be able to record more but I believe I have enough recorded to get up to part 20 of my Golden Sun LP. The problem is actually editing the footage into videos. I rarely can get anymore than one Golden Sun part edited per day.
And I think I might need to take the first week back to classes which would be this week to just adjust back to class life with the "handicap" stuff I talked about in my past blog.
So I guess the point is, I want to upload new Lets Play videos but I just don't know if I have the time to do so. I'm considering uploading my Golden Sun LP once a week and the side LP twice a week, but I don't even know if I can make enough Golden Sun videos to keep up with that.
I guess until future notice, no new Lets Play uploads this week and hopefully at worst I'll have some sort of upload schedule next week. There's a chance that I'll upload a LP video before then but the odds are getting more and more slim.
Oh yeah that non-LP video I said I would do... no promises but I'll see if I can come up with anything tomorrow, since it's my last day before heading back to the dorms.

My Handicap
Some of you who've seen the twitter know something is up with me. I was originally only going to share this if I felt it was gonna get in the way of uploading of comics and videos and I feel just that might be the case.
So here goes nothing. It's personal and I'm sure you don't want me to get into the details so I'll just lay out the basics. For the past year I've had something up with my foot, so I had to get surgery on it today. I'm not allow to put any weight on it for the next month or so and I'll even have to be off it when I go back to school. There's nothing life-threaten, just at worst some painful days and inconvenience getting around places.
As to what this means to you, well I'm hoping not much will change. I was able to get onto the computer today after all and I think the pain will be it's worst for the next couple days. So I'm gonna wait at least a couple days before trying to go downstairs to the basement to record video game footage and that. But hopefully I should be able to get uploads done on schedule.
The good news is that I've recorded Golden Sun footage all the way to part 20 and I've edited up to part 13 aka the Xmas Special. I still gotta finish the Jackit sketches and plop them onto that video. That might be the only thing that keeps me from getting part 13 up on time combined with my new-found handicap. I'm hoping I'll still get it done in time though, I do have all week after all.
As for comics I doubt anything is slowing down there as long as I can get online still. I have plenty of comics on standby, including two brand new Christmas/Winterween comics. One Jackit and Friends and the other Bob and Steve. I'm planning on uploading the Bob & Steve first because I feel it's the less impressive of the two like most Bob and Steve comics compared with Jackit comics.
So yeah, I believe that covers everything I wanted to say, so until next video or comic you see, happy holidays regardless what religion or lack of religion you celebrate have a wonderful set of days. Oh, and if your ever feeling down, know that you at least don't have to spend your winter break with a cast on your foot, at least I hope you don't have to. :)
