Lokathor's Audio Only Let's Plays

Editor's Note: when I said "December of 2001 and January of 2001", I meant January of 2002 of course. I know how clocks work. I'm doing a Patreon now! Starting with this episode, if you subscribe on Patreon you'll be able to also access the video versions of most podcast episodes.

Just wrapping up Super Mario 64!

This time we're taking a break from Pokemon to play a few rounds of a fun bonus game. Y'all can thank SkeletonPod for helping me decide on this great idea.

Daniel K put out the call asking for Manga suggestions, so here's me reading an entire TEN chapters of a manga that I'm a big fan of. Note: The Japanese title of the manga is "Pokemon Special", but it's called " Pokemon Adventures " in the English translations.

What's more elite than four gym-leader level fights all in a row? A secret fifth fight of course!

I was struck with the sudden desire to read y'all a chapter from a great Cyberpunk novel called Snow Crash . I'm sure we'll see more reading episodes from time to time, but probably from different books, depending on the mood.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!

First we take Team Rocket out of Silph Co., then the Mega Gym Bonanza starts! In Saffron we handle the Fighting Gym and Psychic Gym. Then we fly to Viridian City and get through the Earth Gym too! It's quite a bit.

Making our way through a burned down, abandoned mansion, then using the Secret Key we find there to battle the Cinnabar Gym. How do other pokemon trainers ever face off against the gym if we have the key? The world will never know.

I hate Rainbow Ride and so should you.

Finishing off Wet Dry World, and then the long tragedy that is Rainbow Ride.

Battling through the Fuchsia Gym, then we fly to Palette Town and take Route 21 down to Cinnabar Island. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

We go down a hill, past a zoo, and on a safari! -- ko-fi.com/lokathor

Today we go though Pokemon Tower, and I don't think we run in to any actual ghosts. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

Today we're doing Tall Tall Mountain, and then we do a single level of Wet Dry World before I suddenly lose all energy and have to cut it short.

Jolly Roger Bay 100 coins, then heading upstairs for Tiny Huge Island and Snowman's Land.

Big Boo's Haunt, Lethal Lava Land, Dire Dire Docks, and 2nd Bowser Battle

Special Caps, Hazy Maze Cave, and Shifting Sand Land.

Gotta get that Syplh Scope from Giovanni's grip and then pick up a Rainbow Badge from Erika. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

Got a new Pokemon, leveling him up on the way to Celadon, some stuff in Celadon, and then at the end we swing around through Saffron to nab all the Route 11 experience points we missed out on before. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

A fun time going through the dark and boring Rock Tunnel -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

Not too much story this time, just some quality trainer battles. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

We got my brother on the controls this time and we speed through Jolly Roger Bay, Cool Cool Mountain, some clean up stars, and then the first Bowser match.

The S.S. Anne is a fun place to get HM01, and a quick trip through Diglett Cave gets us HM05. We start on Vermillion Gym but then run out of time to get it done in under an hour! -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor

Today we're doing Whomp's Fortress. There a few mix ups here and there but it all gets done. -- https://ko-fi.com/lokathor
