When did this thread degenerate into "They Might Be (poke)Giants"?

In all seriousness, I trust red to be entertaining with whatever monsters he chooses. After five great LP's in this franchise alone, I frankly don't care what he chooses. It will be a blast no matter what!

This LP is already awesome and I love the hell out of it. Also, for those of you who haven't played White/Black2, the game pretty much THROWS stuff like lemonade and good as gently caress healing items at you...which, when you get to the fourth gym, can turn around and sell for practically unlimited cash. And don't get me started on the possible gamebreaking opportunities that Pokestar studios and the later things that will be readily available after a little work.

I'm only going there to get a sea captain back. You fuckers aren't dragging me into that bullshit industry.

Music: PokéStar Studios


Yo I'm not signing NOTHIN'




Dude, you only get to say something like that if a giant Aurorus or something stomps out from behind a tree behind you.


Nope. That's it. I'm out already.


. . . don't touch me.


What'd you just call me? YOU'RE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER.




Yes, they are. You do not make movies, though. You make shill for the masses. I've seen better things come out of the whatever end it is that a Girafarig shits out of.


No, you're not paying attention to me. You are both are to movies as gas stations are to wineries.









It's for distracting all the degenerates!



I know what a theater is! Don't patronize me!


I'm looking for one who can drive a boat.


Please be in here.



Oh thank god you're here.



WHY ARE YOU NOT AT THE DOCKS?

with potential!"

I told you I'm not doing this poo poo.


I used something immune to her attacks! I'm mediocre to sub-average at best!


Does NOBODY pay attention to me?! See?! These "movies" make you brain dead!

professional such as myself."

No it's not!



Let me go. LET ME GO.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1pxBV8ONVw&hd=1


. . .


. . .


. . . I hate you.


That was a cinematic atrocity and I have no idea how you are capable of keeping this place flowing. Like I knew your poo poo was bad but this. This is offensive.


I'm not apologizing.










. . . WOULD YOU JUST GET ON THE drat BOAT?



Nope, got what I needed. gently caress this. gently caress you. gently caress everyone here. I'm out.






What th— Nope. Nooooooo no no no. Of course I'm not riding a boat with him.



Is there a reason you're all dressed as pirates?

we respected as our king and hero!"

I thought it was because someone beat you in that stupid drill castle.



HUGH, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL INFORMATION.




No, you got chased by a Herdier.



This is dumb and you're all stupid.


Hugh you can also never forgive me, remember. You know, for tackling your pig.


Man, FINE.

in a few seconds!"
Good luck, I could barely beat a dog with her.


Music: Battle! Team Plasma (Black2/White2 ver.)


What, really?


So, was that it then?







Ughghghhhhhhhhhh


THEY HAD GOPHERS.



Great.


No. It's a mix cd. Go away.



Choro Notes: Fun fact: Mawile cannot learn Cut, either. Go figure.


Ever vigilant Hugh.


This is dumb. You're all dumb.








Hugh, this isn't helpful. Any moron could figure that out.

they know a lot about ships."
Choro Notes: OK, Game. I get it.


Choro Notes: Seriously, game. I got it. Go to the only other place I haven't been. Thank you for having Hugh tell me my next destination in this difficult quest.


Choro Notes: gently caress.

I love PokéStar movies! I've seen all of them! Even the one that got pulled from these areas! I love the internet cause you can see videos on it like that and also of purrloins!


Alright!


Hi! Hello!


I like your name! That is a good name!

a very important request of you!"

Pokéstar Studios' movies!"
OH YES! I DO! I ACCEPT! WHAT DO I SIGN? THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!


I'll be the biggest star!

costar for you!"
Oh my goodness~!


Ohmigod ohmigod ohmigodddddddd!



I knoooooooooooooooow~~~~~

and a fresh, new talent like you!"

So coooooooooooool!




Choro Notes: This part is mandatory, you literally cannot proceed with the game unless you make a movie.


Choro Notes: Eventually, you can use your own monsters, but never when you first attempt the film. You have to successfully film it before you can use your own duders.


Music: Filming a Movie


Choro Notes: Filming movies are basically just scripted battles. Actually, no, that's literally what they are.



Choro Notes: Here is what the bottom screen looks like now.


Choro Notes: Script is easy and gives the requirements for a good ending.


Choro Notes: Scenario breaks it down even more.


Choro Notes: Costars tells you your opponent's type, moves, ability, etc.


Choro Notes: Generally you are equipped with only the moves you need to finish this, no red herrings.


BLAM!





Choro Notes: Dialogue choices can also result in bad ends. Being a coward as a super hero is bad. But if you do something like no sell scary-as-gently caress-poo poo you also get a bad end.


Choro Notes: The director's reaction basically tells you if you did good or bad.




How did I do?! Did I do good?! I think I did good!



The biggest star. BIGGEST!


REALLY?!


Ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy!!!!

20.0 BILLION?! I'M AMAZING!


Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans?!


Gonna drink this! Right now! All of them!


Choro Notes: Basically, because of how some of the movies unlock, I'm just going to do them as their own little side updates intermixed with the regular updates.

Yeah, Hollywood Accounting is ... a thing. Not a good thing, by any means. I mean, did you know that (according to the studios) Forrest Gump, Spider-Man, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and Babylon 5 all lost millions of dollars despite revenue being orders of magnitude higher than costs?

The first movie kind of sucks, since it's ridiculously easy whereas the later ones are more like puzzles. Also, it's kind of a bad place to interrupt the plot with a mandatory movie. But whatever, Pokestar is really pretty fun once you come back to it later!

I also don't see the fun in the movies. I certainly like the idea of them being puzzles, but there's such pomp and circumstance surrounding them that for some reason I was tired of them by the time the scene started filming.

For me, it was part of how it almost felt like a puzzle (even though the answer is more or less given to you if you look at everything enough) to complete each scenario--although, I can think of one or two I had to do several times because it ended up depending more on luck for the Good ending >_> That got annoying fast.

Seeing the contrast between Rosa and Vinny makes me wonder what would happen if the two ended up meeting.

There are more to the movies to show off, that's for another time.

Basically you are getting a taste of what the game does to you when you actually play. You are forced to do an easy one with little to no variation without a hint that you can screw around with it some.
