EPISODE 9: BRAWLY CAN SUCK ONE
Watch it:

...

Summary:

...

I start out by battling Brawly in the Dewford Gym. I basically whup ass against his Machop and Meditite, but have some issues with Makuhita. Fortunately, I manage to come out on top thanks to a critical hit that I do not regret at all ;) Anyway, TWO BADGES DOWN! After this momentous occasion, I stubbornly refuse to use Flash on a Pokemon of mine, so we enter the Dewford Cave nearly blind.

Still better than this.

During this excursion, I probably look really dense running into walls and stuff, but we eventually find Steven and give him his letter. I finish off the episode reading funny Dex entries and about to sail off to Slateport.

Synopsis:

...

I really enjoyed this episode. It gave insight into how I play this game for Nuzlocke- I'm cautious but not fully aware of everything, which provides for some pleasant (and unpleasant) surprises. At the same time, I refuse to waste a moveset on one of my Pokemon for Flash, so it was fun navigating through the cave. No major bumps in the LP so far. 8.5/10.

EPISODE 10: BATTLES, BATTLES, AND MORE BATTLES
Watch it:

...

Summary:

...

I head over to Slateport City via Mr. Briney and his boat. I do a lot of battles on the beach and get some Soda Pop inside the beach house. I check out Slateport a little before going to the shipyard and subsequently the museum in order to deliver the goods to Captain Stern.

The museum has never been busier.

In doing so, I defeat Team Aqua there and rid them of the place. Lastly, Scott shows up again.

Synopsis:

...

This episode is a little tedious, but at least the commentary is okay ;) Seriously, most of the episode is me battling some trainers, though. I end up skipping three or four of them, I think, for the viewers' sake. We also got the stupid Team Aqua stuff out of the way, too. 8/10.

EPISODE 11: LIL WAYNE SUCKS
Watch it:

...

Summary:

...

I explain how I went through the whole city and accomplished nothing while not recording. I head north and catch myself an Oddish.

Enter: LIL WAYNE the Oddish

Relaxed Nature
Met at Lv. 13, Route 110

The rest of the episode is me clearing out the trainers on Routes 110 and 103. There's a couple double battles that are annoying, but other than that, I work my way under Cycling Road and get ready for my first real Rival Battle.

Synopsis:

...

Still a little tedious, but the acquisition of a Grass type is pretty nice all the same. It could always be used to take out Marshtomp/Swampert, after all. Otherwise, this is an episode where stuff is explored and Hoenn is tackled. 7/10.
