Thinking about starting a few Lets Plays

[BellGreen]

I am thinking about let's playing Pokemon Emerald, Pokemon Ranger, and maybe Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games.

Does anyone have any tips? All of the games above are going to be blind-plays, but Pokemon games give away too much hints

Zigazoon. Get him. Grab hold of him and never let go.

Here are some hints.

Are there any good Game Boy games I can do? And can someone tell me why my DS games (on Desmume or something, maybe Desume) are running so fast?! By fast, its fast forwarding.

I am planning to do the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Does Youtube allow AVI files to be uploaded?

Heres my opinion; don't do any traditional pokemon games by traditional I mean just battling the gym leaders (red, soul silver, black, white, pearl) Its a terribly boring game to watch someone play and someone else already does it (Marriland)

If you're gonna do a main series pokemon game, do a nuzlocke challenge. Like Garrett said, doing it traditionally is actually pretty boring.

 

[BellGreen]

Yeah, I want to try and complete the Pokedex because its noticeably easier in the old games.

Which game do you recommend for beginners?

 

[Prof Gallows]

For completing the Dex? Hm..

First, how are you going to be playing them? If you're using an emulator then you're going to have a pretty hard time getting pokemon who evolve by trading, and even then if you're playing a game that isn't on the DS, you'll have the same problem.

I can't really give any good advice on the subject since I've never done a lets play for pokemon, but I've seen a few of them and the only really interesting ones I've seen were the ones doing the challenge..

Good luck on whatever you decide on doing.

 

[BellGreen]

Nooooo! You're right! I can't complete the Pokedex!

And I still need help on my emulator problem (few posts above)

 

[BellGreen]

Woah.

So I just finished reading the link, and the Nuzlocke challenge is HARD. I guess I could do it, it seems way too fun.

So whenever you black-out, you have to START OVER?

 

[Prof Gallows]

AVI files are pretty big files, and they'll take ages to upload.(experience)

you'll want to convert your files into WMV and then upload them. as for your emulator problems..

Check what speed settings it's running on, it sounds like you might have accidentally turned your speed setting to higher than it should be.

Edit: The Nuzlocke Challenges are fun, especially if you have a random wild encounter mod put into it. The starting over is for.. hardcore.. players. lol

No, if your pokemon faints in a Nuzlocke, it dies. You have to release it. You can only catch the first pokemon you find in an area, and I always release my starter pokemon when I do a nuzlocke.

 

[BellGreen]

Yeah, that's what's so SAD. I hope to play the Nuzlocke challenge as an expert one day LOL

So I can upload AVI files but they take forever? Also, why can't I view my first practice episode of Pokemon Emerald? I can view my brother's FOMT video perfectly.

For the speed thing, I thought it was for the frame rate xD I might record Pokemon Ranger, but with the viewers seeing the mouse icon... not a good idea.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Not sure, I wish I could help further. I'm only knowledgeable in a few aspects of emulators, I don't use them very often.

 

[BellGreen]

Thanks for the help you gave anyway, it helped a lot.

I know using emulators are illegal, but a few days ago I noticed I shoud really delete them. But I figure, "Why not do a Let's Play?"
