Chapter 2 Analysis & Commentary

{!}

Hey! You’re a trainer? Let’s battle!

*Duunu Duunu Duuh*

Pokemon Trainer Matthew wants to fight!

Pokemon Trainer Matthew sent out Bulbasaur!

Go Weedle!

Bulbasaur used Tackle!

Weedle takes damage of 5!

Weedle used Poison Sting!

Bulbasaur takes damage of 2!

Bulbasaur used Growl!

Weedle is weakened!

Weedle used String Shot!

Bulbasaur is Paralyzed and Slowed! CRITICAL!! Damage of 7!

Bulbasaur faints!

Jake has beaten Pokemon Trainer Matthew!

“Wow, you got lucky!”


Haha, oh wow, does this look silly. Combining stupid-to-read text with poor engrish from Mother? Who'd thunk in a Pokemon game?

“Great Battle!” Said an excited Matthew. “You’re Jake right?”
“Yeah, that’s me!” answered Jake. “You look a bit familiar, but I can’t quite put a name to your face.”
“It’s Matthew, but I see you were one of the unlucky ones.” He said, looking at Weedle.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” Jake asked inquisitively.
“You’re not one of the first three Pallet Trainers this season.” Matthew answered. “Your first Pokemon was not a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.”
“I can make do with this Weedle!” responded a bothered Jake.
“I hope so, you’re going to have trouble getting the first few Gym Badges.”
“I’ll be fine…” Jake walked off.
“I’ll see you some other time!” said Matthew with a smile. “Good luck out there!” Jake looked back and waved. The 1:00 Sunlight was shining brightly in the sky. Jake’s stomach started to grumble.
“I guess its time for lunch. There should be a nice lake around here."


Here we meet Matthew, the first of many other Pallet Town trainers who will get involved in the main story at heart. More basic stuff. Jake decides to eat lunch at a lake, which leads us to...

“Hey! Watch out! Don’t scare the Magikarp away!”

Young Man Marble has hooked a Magikarp!

Marble threw a Great Ball!

The Pokeball shook repeatedly. After 5 shakes, the Pokeball stood stationary.

Marble captured Magikarp!


More text-listing crap.

“Hi, Sorry about that. I didn’t want to lose this Magikarp.” The Young Man said. “My name is Marble.”
“My name is Jake! Nice to meet you.”
“I’m not a trainer yet, but I just wanted to catch this Pokemon for a head start. I’ll see you around!” Marble spun and quickly vanished.
“That was weird…” Said a blinking Jake.
Jake and Weedle had a nice picnic lunch. Weedle’s hit points reached Max! After their break was over, Jake and his partner continued on their way down Route 1. All of a sudden, the rain came down very heavily.
“Oh no! And there’s no shelter for at least two miles.” Jake groaned, he really disliked rain. Just as sudden as the rain, a bright flash of yellow electricity filled the sky just a short distance ahead! Jake went to investigate.


Here we meet another trainer, Marble, perhaps one of the more interesting trainers through the story. Marble was based on my roommate at the time, which is why he seemed to be in cahoots with Jake, even if completely offscreen... Well, after he captures his Magikarp, he goes off to get ready for his own introduction, more on that later. After lunch, a rainstorm comes by, followed by a bright flash of electricity... Evidently something familiar is going on... small world, huh?
