![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6g37eib.png) Our party of three is ready to rock! I'm still not feeling great at all, so I won't be getting around to uploading episode 3 for a little while. Sorry about that. Note that in the future, I will be doing all leveling and most normal Trainer battles off-camera, so to speak. I will record important Trainer battles, wild Pokemon capturing, and normal battles where something interesting or exciting happens. | ||

Out of curiosity, what's the type of the first gym? | ||

In Volt White, the battle is also a Rotation Battle instead of a standard Single Battle. Rotation Battles have three Pokemon from each side sent out at once, but only one fights at a time. You can switch to another Pokemon in your rotation at the start of every turn. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Rotation_Battle | ||

I think Pearl was the last one I touched, so I'm not quite up to date with this stuff. The Rotation Battle stuff looks interesting. Sounds like that'd make it more attractive to have several good pokemon instead of just one that one-shots everything like I feel was the case in the previous games I've played. | ||

In a normal run of Volt White, it's not a good idea to rely on one Pokemon to do everything for you. Rotation Battles, Triple Battles, and Double Battles are all more common, and many boss Trainer battles use those battle formats, so having just one Pokemon as your main dude is going to make things end badly. In a Nuzlocke run of Volt White, if you try to beast through with only one Pokemon, you will lose. Very very quickly. | ||

As for your illness, why don't you buy some Full Heal from the market? | ||

I've figured out a new system for uploading episodes that allows me to produce higher-resolution screenshots and videos more quickly than before. I'll try and have episode 3 out soon so I can see how well it works. Stay tuned~ | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Part 3A] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pPSRaui.png) Sure, why not. Let's all go stand in front of the group of hooded guys who look high as shit and may or may not have laser guns. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0ln5ZfW.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/h2BOyzX.png) BAD GUY DETECTED ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9wuD9YX.png) The only liberation my Pokemon are getting is death. Eventually. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/BjFomwJ.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rRPIKkG.png) If these tentacle porn tapes come out right, it'll be more than just a want/need relationship. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oAQOD7M.png) According to the last four generations and literally every episode of the TV show, it is. Who are you to claim otherwise, creepy eyepatch man? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DAgEGYZ.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0MUoVjr.png) Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. My friend has a desk job at Silph Co. over in Saffron, and his Caterpie keeps getting punched by his boss's Machop because it's funny or something. That shit's gotta stop, man. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CPNfEl5.png) WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE LISTENING TO THIS LYING MOTHERFUCKER? OH RIGHT, PLOT DEVELOPMENT, OF COURSE ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QwcFo0T.png) Oh please, humans are superior to Pokemon in every way*. Why should we owe them anything? That's nonsense. *Except for, you know, the "every way" part. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KUcRIpk.png) Oh, I get it now. You weird guys must be really big fans of the Beastie Boys. You're fighting for the right for Pokemon to party! That's a noble cause. Sorry for my misgivings before, I totally approve now. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zvwP8Yw.png) Wow, you guys are trash. And here I was thinking you were devout followers of the Beastie Boys' ideologies, and now you're spouting garbage about equality? Get out of my house. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QkAiJS5.png) Oh, oh! I think I get it now! You're conducting this mad scheme of advertising around the country to fulfill your own secret nefarious plans to conquer the world! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NUSbDFW.png) ... Nah, couldn't be. That's silly. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HOmS3zo.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/d41JJJF.png) Hell yeah, Younger Man! I like the way you think. + Show Spoiler [Part 3B] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mAiw1u1.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5w7ZMlv.png) Whoa, a Pokemon whisperer?! That's awesome! What's Fagtron500 saying? Does he like his name?? THIS IS SO COOL!! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/o8hQNxm.png) He actually does. All of this guy's dialogue in the game is played really fast for some reason. Not sure why. Maybe he's a qualified speedtalker or something. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xylOPWj.png) Man, if only Cheren saw things the way I do. He could be talking by proxy to his little shitty dudes right now. Lost opportunities... ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/27Qfsms.png) Wow, bragging about his psychic powers. I'm not sure I like this guy. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WYwLmXN.png) Especially not when he has a name guaranteed to belong to a psycho rapist or something. Or he's a total hipster who wants to use a one-character name before it becomes cool. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/flnLhBp.png) Cheren, why are you telling a total stranger what our names are? Didn't your mom tell you not to do that when you were a kid? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/i9bbTC0.png) And didn't she also tell you not to tell total strangers what you're doing and where you're going? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZoSBZql.png) SURELY SHE TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL TOTAL STRANGERS ABOUT YOUR LIFE'S DREAMS?? God, you're an idiot. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qMFHdGU.png) That's the plan. I need a buncha Pokemon to replace the ones that die in my name. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9hN10oN.png) Not if I can help it. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/e2wy4R1.png) Whoa whoa whoa, he's coming on to us! He is a psycho rapist! I NEED AN ADULT!! + Show Spoiler [Boss Battle #1] + + Show Spoiler [Part 3C] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CaA82mF.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VRPppS0.png) I hope not. If they do, they might actually rebel against me and tear me into thousands of pieces for my crimes against them. That would be pretty unfortunate. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6Fr03XP.png) So, you're a creepy psycho rapist Pokemon whisperer who attacked me for no reason, and you also a name-dropper?? Jeez, how low can you get? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KSCa7hS.png) ... Well, that was kinda bizarre. And did you notice he has green hair? Would he really stoop so low as to be a member of GreenPeace too? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ah7jxoS.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AQPmFbu.png) I dunno about you, but I'm worried. He attacked me, not you. What if he's targeting me? T_T ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/viMMXU3.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xCE7lqJ.png) Wow, nice one. You managed to explain the exceedingly obvious and reveal your intentions to creepy hipsters all in a subtle tutorial for the player. That was slick. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NElT6lk.png) Why is he my friend? Whatever. I guess I'd better follow the insanely linear path that my friend is commanding me to go in and go to Striation City to battle the first Gym. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/gRmNa0p.png) BUT BEFORE I DO THAT I TOTALLY FORGOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT!! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fnqNNhI.png) Damn. :/ | ||

I might give it a try later but for now that killed my motivation haha | ||

Trash can = golden I've been thinking about that, actually. I'm putting so much of the plot into the LP because a) it gives me a lot of material for funny captions, and b) some people don't really know the plot for Black and White, so I wanted to give them some background on the story. I think I may be overdoing it with the plot stuff, though, like you said. In the future, I will weed out story events that aren't particularly important or interesting (like Bianca and Munna in the Dreamyard), and only pick the important bits of dialogue from major scenes. If I do that, I can probably get episodes out faster than before, since most of the delay between episodes consists of taking and editing screenshots. Streamlining that process will help a lot. I'm going to spend some time today figuring out the idea way to push out quality content faster; once I've done that, you can expect more stuff more often.  | ||
