EPISODE 12: ROCK SMASH GUY
Watch it:

...

Summary:

...

I open up by realizing that Oddish is the worst. I battle May and win handily...seriously, really easy. I finish the bottom part of Cycling Road by doing a few battles, then head into Mauville and get myself the Rock Smash HM and heal and all of that nonsense. I end the battle destroying Wally and getting a nice upgrade from a cute Taillow to a cool Swellow!

It's all about those deep V's.

Synopsis:

...

I enjoyed this episode a lot. It was about this point in the series that I realized that commentary and recording becomes a lot easier when you don't force it, so I felt more comfortable talking. Accomplished a lot this time and got a Pokemon that makes the Nuzlocke a lot easier. 8/10.

EPISODE 13: LIARA'S EPISODE OF SHAME
Watch it:

...

Summary:

...

I'm basically in Route 117 for the whole time! I find an Illumise in the grass after a few failures finding Pokemon I already own. Unfortunately, I can't catch it for FOREVER. After five minutes or so I finally nail it, with little help from Oddish/Lil Wayne. Naming it Liara, I now see that it was my best nickname given out so far.

Enter: LIARA the Illumise

Quiet Nature
Met at Lv. 14, Route 117

The last half of the episode is devoted to tackling Mauville's Gym, culminating in looking directly down Wattson's old face.

Synopsis:

...

One of my least favorites. I put on an embarrassing show of failing to catch a Pokemon I will likely never use, then just do battles. The good news is that it sets up the next episode (my personal favorite of the series) to be even better. 6/10

EPISODE 14: A WILD SPECIAL GUEST APPEARS!
Watch here:

...

Summary:

...

My special guest adviser and I take on what turns out to be the most complex and difficult battle so far. All this episode, expect lots of dumb jokes and laughter. After we scratch a victory out, we pick up a bike from Rydel's and then head over to Verdanturf to smash some rocks and eventually meet Wally's family and obtain the Strength HM.

Synopsis:

...

Maybe I'm biased because I know my friend in real life, but I could not have enjoyed this episode more. We had some really awesome moments in my opinion, and we also got a gym badge and breezed through a whole town and its sidequests. Loved it, loved it, loved it. This will be my standard from here on out. 10/10.
