Alg Plays: Pokemon Vietnamese Kanto 4


Alg

You know what? To make up for only getting one badge last time, I'm going to hit three gyms in this part. Three. In addition to enough double entendres to... I dunno, something borderline offensive.

 

[spoiler=RACE TO THE FINISH]

5f29Oiv.png

But first, a roadblock.

idF5tJx.png

And I kind of forgot to get the radio card the first time around. Backtracking!

 

Luckily, I know where to get it.

Sounds... Harmless?

qHWb69O.png

Sounds like me. She can't be all bad, then. Unless she uses humor to hide crippling insecuriDID I JUST SAY THAT?

 

The conversation ended on an awkward note, with him randomly exclaiming the first thing to come to mind.

So I met this woman who is probably like me...

EFFkAxN.png

...And discovered that she is, in fact, me. What a twist.

I'll admit that I actually laughed until I cried when this line came up. HIPPIE MOPPET

rkcB6Md.png

Did.. Did I just conscript myself?

ncyVIsN.png

21Ake0o.png

At least I pay well.

pUmvIhm.png

So I agreed to help myself, and asked for directions... Though deep down, I always knew where it was.

Confused, I made my way south.

xHOaO8T.png

I found a moppet. I checked the smell to see if it was a HIPPIE MOPPET, and was pleased to find an odor I remembered from a '70s rock band concert.

ObAN4Io.png

Clefairy's name in Japanese is Pippi (ピッピ). Get your minds out of the gutter!

JzqaZmC.png

So he has a... Fake Pipi.

 

Which he gave me.

zTzjZDE.png

I'm going straight to hell for this.

 

AfYcwFz.png

But the man has very clear priorities.

 

I would have left, but there's a guy here that's giving out (rare) candy!

Kavw7Cj.png

...Okay...?

faU424f.png

Okay, no. Just no.

 

So I went to get the ticket again:

J0orXBR.png

This was... Not it.

 

And now I could back track, and take the quiz I missed in Part 8!

zQylmxH.png

You thought I was joking about that, didn't you?

 

In addition to picking up the bike.

5fGVr1q.png

How the hell did I miss this?

 

So I went back to Snorlax, and listened to the radio:

IkYedkO.png

They have some odd programs, in Kanto.

 

And got incredibly lucky because I froze it before it destroyed my game with rest!

EyJ2igv.png

 

And so, I entered the Western Front. It was... Quieter than I expected.

mXvmnaj.png

Didn't last long, though. The nightmare train has currently stopped here.

 

You know what this means, though, right?

EErVfET.png

MORE BUDGES

KZLWlKu.png

The bane of everyone who picked Charmander. Luckily, I have TED

32oTMz4.png

And just like before, they don't actually use the rock type.

 

Km6aPKt.png

uW1sVeA.png

Badass.

JCAH6IL.png

From first gym leader (and anime comic relief) to CHAMPION. The years have been kind to him.

 

B6uh4Zp.png

...Except the move protect also crashes the game! Woo!

 

So I tried again.

pnJJFNo.png

Fun fact: The rock-type has the same number of weaknesses and resistances as the Grass-type... Making it one of the worst defensive types in the game.

 

FINALLY, I'VE MET MY EQUAL

 

USU762s.png

Except I won, and they started using BUDGE again!

wWG503d.png

Could be worse. Could be beige.

 

Anyway, you know what I found just a little farther south?

4er0N4u.png

ANOTHER GYM

ikMnrdB.png

...Without a curator.

 

Plan B: south again

 

sW5od5W.png

Plan C: die of nostalgia.

 

Eventually, I found the man who built a gym out of LEGO.

fnzm3B4.png

He's baack!

AhT4sZD.png

82kcTPd.png

Not a champion, a championship. The man had become a concept.

Fk5vGml.png

3WzVy3O.png

Well, shot down just like that.

 

kXWhVw4.png

56vBMJw.png

And now I'm going to die of volcano. Tell my wife I loved her.

ox7UsF5.png

JcGM5i7.png

"SOMEWHERE THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE KILLED"

 

So I did.

 

I found another gym.

6TWQ7ln.png

A tiny bit more... Well, it's a cave with a dude in it. What do you want me to say?

X98Kznj.png

But a gym is a gym, right? Next time. I've visited three gyms, just like I said I would. I didn't say I'd win three BUDGES

 

 

 

[spoiler=NEXT TIME... ON POKEMON VIETNAMESE KANTO]

With good reason. I'm so close to the end I can taste it. Part 5, the FINAL CHAPTER OF VIETNAMESE KANTO, will be available for your viewing pleasure on Saturday.

 

 

 

[spoiler=BEHIND THE SCENES]

[7:01:44 PM] Erika: VCrystal tonight

[7:02:01 PM] Alg: Would you believe I just loaded it up?

[7:02:05 PM] Erika: For Tif

[7:02:40 PM] Erika: No

[7:02:56 PM] *** Alg sent 01.PNG 01.PNG ***

[7:02:59 PM] Alg: Well, I did

[7:03:05 PM] Erika: K

[7:04:12 PM] Alg: Damn it, more plot. Can't get two badges

[7:04:28 PM] Erika: Meh. More mangled dialogue to laugh at

[7:04:41 PM] Alg: ...HIPPIE MOPPET

[7:04:45 PM] Alg: HIPPIE MOPPET

[7:04:49 PM] Erika: What

[7:05:15 PM] Alg: Actually crying

[7:05:30 PM] Erika: At?

[7:05:58 PM] Alg: That phrase

[7:06:10 PM] Erika: What's it referring to?

[7:06:23 PM] Alg: The mimic girl's lost doll

[7:06:50 PM] Erika: WHAT

[7:07:43 PM] Alg: Oh my god the double entendres! They just keep coming!

[7:08:19 PM] Alg: ALG

MOPPET

[7:08:33 PM] Erika: BAG [bleep]?

[7:08:49 PM] Alg: ALG!CARD

POCKET [bleep]

[7:09:11 PM] Erika: ....

[7:09:16 PM] Alg: Fan club: LIKING ELF CLUB

[7:09:32 PM] Erika: ....

[7:09:41 PM] Erika: Too literal

[7:10:03 PM] Alg: Rare Candy: PLUM

[7:10:36 PM | Edited 7:10:40 PM] Erika: HOW THE HELL -

[7:13:04 PM] Alg: Okay, radio tower has different questions in English

[7:13:46 PM] Erika: Gee, I wonder why

[7:14:05 PM] Alg: I mean, from the Japanese release as well

[7:15:08 PM] Erika: *points to my above statement*

[7:15:45 PM] Alg: Snorlax: TIAO

[7:16:22 PM] Erika: I don't even...

[7:18:46 PM] Alg: Oh right, Snorlax has rest

[7:21:01 PM] Alg: Woo, route 2 Kanto music! *listens*

[7:22:15 PM] Alg: Pewter is NIPI TOWN

[7:23:14 PM] Alg: Or LIBI

[7:23:54 PM] Erika: Which one is it?

[7:23:59 PM] Alg: They use both

[7:24:07 PM] Alg: Sign says the first, Brock uses the second

[7:24:16 PM] Erika: Correct Japanese name is supposed to be "Nibi"

[7:25:05 PM] Alg: ...Okay, another game freeze move, from Brock's Omastar?

[7:25:47 PM] Alg: Bite/Surf/Protect/Spike Cannon?

[7:26:39 PM] Alg: Probably Protect, because of priority

[7:26:45 PM] Erika: I have absolutely no idea

[7:27:02 PM] Alg: And he uses BUDGE again!

[7:27:50 PM] Erika: Have fun

[7:30:01 PM] Alg: Viridian is SHIWA

[7:30:51 PM] Alg: And Pallet is MALASHA

[7:31:51 PM] Alg: Cinnabar... RED

[7:32:07 PM] Erika: Really?

[7:32:45 PM] Alg: Yes

[7:34:12 PM] Alg: Or GELEN

[7:34:27 PM] Erika: For Cinnabar?

[7:34:30 PM] Alg: Yes

[7:35:15 PM] Alg: Alright, done with this part. Next one, I'll get three badges

[7:35:30 PM] Erika: And I'll try to figure out the names once I'm done with this thing here

[7:35:38 PM] Alg: Take your time

[7:42:11 PM] Erika: OK, Viridian's name is "Tokiwa" in Japanese. I think I can figure out what they changed and botched up here

[7:42:52 PM] Erika: They used 時 for the first part of the name. Means "time". Pronounced "toki" in Japanese, "shi" in Chinese

[7:43:08 PM] Alg: So, not really a mistake?

[7:43:16 PM] Erika: More like a botched translation

[7:44:04 PM] Erika: Pallet Town's "Masara" in Japanese. I am inclined to think they translated it phonetically, but messed up and swapped the last to syllables to get MALASHA

[7:44:40 PM] Alg: Ah

[7:44:58 PM] Erika: And I'm inclined to think "GELEN" is also a phonetic translation for cinnabar

[7:46:08 PM] Alg: Oh?

[7:47:34 PM] Erika: "Guren" was the Japanese name given by Bulbapedia

[7:47:44 PM] Erika: What did they translate Seafoam Islands as?

[7:48:11 PM] Alg: Didn't see it

[7:48:19 PM] Erika: ....

[7:48:36 PM] Erika: Well, tell me. I'll laugh if it's something like "Two Child Island"

[7:48:45 PM] Alg: Don't think so

[7:54:47 PM] Alg: http://i.imgur.com/yALEoI2.png It's just TOO EASY

[7:55:18 PM] Erika: Pipi is Clefairy's Chinese name in hanyupinyin

[7:55:31 PM] Erika: I wonder if it's the same in Japanese, too

[7:55:33 PM] Alg: It is

[7:55:48 PM] Alg: In English, though...

[7:56:01 PM] Erika: Clefairy
