Just to let everyone know, this update was captured for a good majority in the real gameboy colors. Since it turns out that you guys are fine with the regular color scheme, the next update will go back to that.

Update 4: Sprouts Blossom Forth

No thanks, I know how to catch Pokémon. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp; weaken Pokémon, throw ball at Pokémon, catch Pokémon.

Before I go running to Violet City, there's a small detour I have to make.

A little bit of walking around in Route 46 and...

Oh hey, the path's not blocked anymore by those trainers.

Encounter! Youngster

LqNtCFb.png
I just lost, so I'm trying to find more Pokémon.

LuP90mp.png
Here's a pro-tip; try walking in tall grass instead of just standing there. You know, the stuff that's right behind me?

LqNtCFb.png
Wait! You look weak! Come on, let's battle!

LuP90mp.png
Weak? Me? You just signed your death warrant, buddy.

Who's ever heard a youngster say "Doggone it"?

Now as a result of letting our mother save some money, each battle I win gives a small share of the prize money to her. It's good to have backup money, but the downside is...

You're using my hard earned money for shopping?! I should've known your offer was too good to be true. >.<

Oh, it's for me? Well then, that makes it slightly better. Thank you mom, I guess.

3XBxor6.png


LqNtCFb.png
You're a Pokémon Trainer, right? Then you have to battle!

LuP90mp.png
I've got places to be so it'd be nice if we could wrap this up quickly.

2fsHWZ7.png


LqNtCFb.png
That's strange. I won before.

LuP90mp.png
You're not one of those people who jump timelines and as a result makes remarks like this when you change something that makes an unexpected outcome, are you?

WlcAGFg.png

LuP90mp.png
That's not entirely true seeing as the second last trainer I fought held me up even though I was just walking by them, not looking at them.

FZHHAq8.png
Instead of a Pokémon, I found a trainer!

LuP90mp.png
That sounds creepier than you think.

Okay nevermind it is that dark. I'm outta here.

That item next to the cave was a potion, by the way.

Along the way I encountered:

LuP90mp.png
You just saw me walk through the entrance gate of this city, and I must be a new face around here seeing as I'm not known to frequently go through here. So I ask you; Do you think I've visited Sprout Tower yet? Anyway that being said I'll give it a look.

Kv1eNhQ.png


Violet City

LuP90mp.png
I've finally made it to Violet City. Now to go to the Pokémon Center and heal up.

j3fUNpx.png


LuP90mp.png
Earth and Topsy are lagging behind, so it's best I get their levels up. I wouldn't want Cocopuff to be the only one pulling the team's weight around.

So this is Sprout Tower, huh? Guess I'll go inside and have a look.

Sprout Tower

LuP90mp.png
Very interesting choice of statues.

FJTaSWN.png
1tqnmmJ.png

T0XVmjT.png


Back in the days of my infancy when there wasn't much contact with the internet, this was one of those backstory pieces of the game that made me go around thinking it's possible to fight a 100 ft Bellsprout boss somehow if you woke it up a la the weathervane bird from Legend of Zelda: LttP.

AvcmdUg.png
PVZFl3K.png

wL3qNaD.gif


The pillar here is called a Shinbashira, a pillar that is used in mainly pagodas (of which Sprout Tower is based on) and in more modern high-rise buildings. It is thought to be the larger one of two reasons why such buildings survive earthquakes when other building nearby have fallen, the second being the wide eaves on pagodas (the roofs that slant over the sides) helping to stabilise them even more.

The pillar acts as a giant stationary pendulum that flexes and sways when subject to an earthquake, hitting the sides of the floors to absorb some of their momentum. It's always tied to the top of the pagoda, and is usually either grounded into the foundations or resting atop it, but occasionally can be hanging above the ground, swinging freely.

And in case you're wondering, "How effective is this?", only two japanese pagodas have fallen to earthquakes in recorded history. In fact, Hōryū-ji is the oldest known pagoda tower and one of the world's oldest wooden buildings, being founded in 607 A.D. This is thanks to it's pillar which was from a tree that was felled in 594 A.D.

LuP90mp.png
That can't possibly be safe, right? It looks like the whole place could come down.

NVy2YNC.png
d3doZy3.png


LuP90mp.png
Why Bellsprout though? If you're gonna use a Pokémon as a deity of worship, why not a legendary? Or is there some other meaning I'm not seeing behind this?

r3LWtFi.png
nGXykLd.png


LuP90mp.png
Better be a really good Hidden Machine.

4Hzdepf.png


Encounter! Sage

LuP90mp.png
I'm no optometrist but the fact that it took you until this close to spot me tells me you need glasses.

WLia42t.png
However hard we battle, the tower will stand strong.

zk23OaM.png
F8jWLnp.png

WHmXNsR.png


So as you can probably see, the whole gimmick of this tower is that each and every trainer in here uses a Bellsprout. Unfortunately type advantage dictates that I'm gonna have a bad time what with my whole team being weak against grass types, but luckily for me Cocopuff damn near one-shot kills them anyway.

Ocq19UW.png


WLia42t.png
I fought hard but I'm too weak.

LuP90mp.png
Maybe using something other than just Bellsprout would help?

You get the idea. All of the trainers here until the final floor use the same amount of Bellsprout and same level too. It'd be pretty boring putting all those fights up so instead just imagine Cocopuff using 1-2 scratches to kill them each.

6wBmVbR.png


Floor 3 and we get Paralyze Heal, an item that (surprise surprise) cures Paralysis on a Pokémon.

fPrqO4O.png


WLia42t.png
We stand guard in this tower. Here, we express our gratitude to honor all Pokémon.

SP3OoU9.png
z2Uxi1A.png


WLia42t.png
Th-Thank you!

LuP90mp.png
For what? Beating you in a Pokémon battle? That's an odd thing to thank someone for.

gzo0aTK.png
Cjq5X7q.png


Floor 4 nets us an X-Accuracy, an item that temporarily boosts the accuracy of a Pokémon during battle. I can understand the idea behind these sets of items but I never used them often nor found them useful. Perhaps on a very very odd occasion, but more often than not it's a wasted move in my opinion.

WLia42t.png
Sway like leaves in the wind...

AoFD07B.png


During this fight two things ocurred.

Pta5FnK.png
1q871y9.png


Cocopuff got up to level 13 which by this point means all level 3 Bellsprout were no longer threats as he could just one-shot them, and he learned Water Gun which is neat but not that useful at this time.

MEVVVbZ.png


WLia42t.png
Oh, I'm weak!

LuP90mp.png
Don't beat yourself up too much about it.

eAsXLlO.png


Finally up to the final floor, and over here we have a potion.

WLia42t.png
I train to find enlightenment in Pokémon!

LuP90mp.png
I mean sure, whatever works right? :confused:

QPUe8Qt.png


zVu3EO0.png


Sage Pow's the first Sprout Tower trainer to differ from the rest, at least in terms of level. Cocopuff might be in trouble here...

rFNVzhb.png
8xL1usk.png


:facepalm: Or not.

fgTY1RB.png


WLia42t.png
My training is incomplete.

LuP90mp.png
If it's any consolation you had the type advantage, but try to attack next time.

FxPlsGI.png


WLia42t.png
The elder's Hidden Machine lights even pitch-black darkness.

LuP90mp.png
You don't say? I guess I might try that out on that Dark Cave then.

a0G2TGj.png
5F581CZ.png


Same deal as Sage Pow, except I got hit this time. 10 HP isn't that bad for a super effective Vine Whip I suppose.

WLia42t.png
It is my head that is bright!

LuP90mp.png
:rotfl: You just made my day, sir.

haeNiGD.png


WLia42t.png
Let me see how much you trust your Pokémon.

TsMCH3Y.png
fJH4e4G.png


LuP90mp.png
Is that all you monks have? Please at least use more than one species of Pokémon.

Of course I trust my Pokémon! Who wouldn't?

That's it for this update. In the next one we'll conclude the events at Sprout Tower, fight Falkner and maybe check out some other nearby locations.

Yes, I will be continuing this. Things have been... chaotic, to say the least this year. My old laptop was acting up so I had to get this one, then this one wouldn't even let me use certain software to write the updates but I found a way around that. Currently I'm going through some tough times IRL that I'm hoping will wrap up soon. By then I should be able to write some more updates.

...Or, if you truly want the next update then I can post it here now. Truth be told I'd rather wait until I've written some more up before publishing it but if need be I can put that up. >.<)/
 
  • #59
Ouch! An entire year has passed by since I last put out an update!? I'm terribly sorry for leaving this Let's Play off for so long. First it was laptop problems preventing me from writing this up, and now it's evolved into a real-life troubles that's been spanning for months since near the end of last year.

I doubt I'll be able to get back into the schedule I used to until I can get out of this nightmare, but I think if anything I at least owe it to you all to put out another update. So without further ado, here it is:

Previously on Pokemon Crystal...

Update 5: The Conclusion

sMbMaAG.png
Lets just eavesdrop like a weirdo.

n9JxVwt.png
NmB7IfD.png


WLia42t.png
As promised, here is your Hidden Machine. But let me say this: You should treat your Pokémon better. The way you battle is far too harsh. Pokémon are not tools of war...

y4kG03i.png


That cut right into his soul like a hot knife through butter.

tL6hAml.png
2Zw4Mri.png


LuP90mp.png
After that sick burn I would be speechless too. :p

eznRiw2.png
He claims to be the elder, but he's weak. It stands to reason. I'd never lose to fools who babble about being nice to Pokémon.

LuP90mp.png
You're just confusing "words of wisdom" with weak.

eznRiw2.png
I only care about strong Pokémon that can win. I really couldn't care less about weak Pokémon.

LuP90mp.png
"Strong Pokemon that can win" like that Chikorita I curbstomped?

kaJClZV.png


LuP90mp.png
I'll take that as a "yes" then.

K1YWrwa.png


WLia42t.png
Sprout Tower is a place of training. People and Pokémon test their bonds to build a bright future together. I am the final test. Allow me to check the ties between your Pokémon and you!

ipU3Evb.png


As per the sage tradition here, Sage Li has a Bellsprout too. Highest level one here I might add.

T4pAnUK.png
iDRvcFl.png


Cocopuff is starting to take his toll on the second Bellsprout sent out...

SKSTFSb.png
8AkbLV0.png


...But in the end, the outcome was the same.

A8Xix4V.png
sI0zVHy.png


He's grown yet another level out of it too.

MdOeY6O.png


FCKFy2f.png
A9z44d3.png


And like Sage Troy, Li has a Hoothoot as well. I suppose in-universe wise when you master the Bellsprout you move on to the more advanced Hoothoot?

gEWyZmr.png


LuP90mp.png
Cocopuff is a beast now! :eek:

rbVFdId.png


WLia42t.png
Ah, excellent! You and your Pokemon should have no problem using this move. Take this Flash Hidden Move.

gcvCpr1.png


Back in mah day, the move Flash was a HM. Nothing like the terrible TM version now.

WLia42t.png
Flash illuminates even the darkest of all places. But to use it out of battle, you need the badge from Violet's Gym.

LuP90mp.png
Of course there's a catch. Can't do A without doing B.

Give the place a quick check before I leave:

z5jOIj2.png
I'm Falkner, the Violet Pokemon Gym Leader! People say you can clip flying-type Pokemon's wings with a jolt of electricity...

LuP90mp.png
That's going to do a lot more than just clip wings. If that ever happens to your Pokemon I hope you're hungry for some well cooked bird.

z5jOIj2.png
I won't allow such insults to bird Pokemon! I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokemon!

Zephyr Badge raises the attack power of Pokemon. It also enables Pokemon to use Flash, if they have it, anytime.

LuP90mp.png
I guess I can check out that cave anytime I wanted to now.

z5jOIj2.png
Here; take this too.

EVLGaPp.png


z5jOIj2.png
By using a Technical Machine, a Pokemon will instantly learn a new move. Think before you act; a Technical Machine can be used only once.

You heard that right, Gen V and above Pokemon newcomers: before they were infinitely usable, TMs in Gen IV and prior could only be used once and then they would disappear from your menu. This made the choice of what move to give to which Pokemon all that more crucial and important.

z5jOIj2.png
Technical Machine 31 contains Mud-Slap. It reduces the enemy's accuracy while it causes damage. In other words, it's both defensive and offensive.

LuP90mp.png
I might use it on one of my Pokemon if they can learn it. I'll take my leave now so bye!
