What is this? I only speak English. Also, that Pikachu looks WAAAY off model. I dig the inner tube, though. "Mom, why did you change my computer wallpaper? You know I like my InterfaceLift wallpapers!" Apparently everyone in the Pokemon universe uses Linux Mint MATE with the AgingGorilla window theme. It's tacky. I would have preferred Platinum. I have no idea who you are, but you look like a dork with those sunglasses. If they were pink I'd accuse you of being a Bret Hart fan. Not that there's anything wrong with liking Bret Hart, but you just look like the kind of guy who'd put his best friend in the Sharpshooter. So, Poké-Hawaii. Got it. I dunno. The last Pokémon game I played scored 7/10 on IGN for having "too much water", and it had some pretty fucking baller 'mons. Doggo! Cute doggo! Look at how happy he is! So this is Rockruff, huh? And those pointy stones in his neck ruffles are stones. I bet he's a Dragon-type. what no i didn't want to choose the cute brown girl god damnit this DM is railroading me There better be a good name on this character sheet. And can I take off the dorky chicken hat? So our perpetually smiling youth is named Jolyne. I know a woman named Jolyne.Our Jolyne won't nearly be as cool though.

We cut to see this pair of legs running. She makes for some sort of freight elevator. Swiggity-swag, what's in the bag, cool cat? "There's the little girl who stole our lunches from the staff fridge! Let's get her!" More running. "Wait, little girl! I only want to cut you--I mean HUG you. Hugging is what I meant! Come here." Sun-hat here is cornered... when suddenly... The lunches go bad and emit cosmic radiation! "Aww, man, our food! Now we have to order out!" "...So, Little Caesars?" "I guess..." Sun-hat magically teleports into an eyecatch of the game logo.

So, without further ado... welcome, welcome, to FATMAN'S LET'S PLAY THEATREin BLACK SUNa Pokemon Sun Screencap Let's Play This will be a thing I'm going to try to do to liven up the board a bit. Much like how you guys do your Dragon Romper thing or whatever it is, I'm going to do my own Let's Play thing of a game I like. And what better game to do than the latest, greatest Pokemon game (at least until whatever comes out on Switch comes out)? I'll be doing this via NTR CFW, a custom firmware with built-in screencap function. That's how this is possible. Specifically, it's through a thing called BootNTR Selector - Mode 3, which enables the functions of NTR CFW in extended-memory games like Pokemon Sun, Smash Bros 3DS, among others. A stock 3DS unit doesn't have this function. And now, let's begin.
We open on an overhead shot of our new home. This is probably the only cinematic shot like this in the entire game, which is a damn shame. Our new home. And standing out on the veranda to the side... "Oh, you can just feel the skin cancer! Meowth, go get mommy's suntan lotion, she's burning." We've been here for one day, you can relax before unpacking everything. It'll take us weeks to do. "And don't forget that suntan lotion, pretty kitty. Mommy feels like a sauteéd Tamato Berry." This cat is smart enough to walk on his hind legs, but not speak. Either Team Rocket's Meowth is out of shape or the story mechanics are fucking bullshit in the anime. We join Meowth walking into our protagonist's room. This is a nice, unconventional camera shot for the series. And here's our protagonist, soundly sleeping. God I hate that shirt. Meowth used Echoed Voice! It's super-effective! Jolyne woke up!

Pretty nifty! I played Moon, so it should at least be cool to see what I missed. I wonder what kind of other things are going to be randomly generated for this adventure...

Ahaha, I love this dude x). It may sound silly but it reminds me of something my girlfriend likes doing - sending screenshots of her Pokemon game and adding captions, mostly with rom hacks of course for added ridiculousness!

Well I never got into this nifty new game so maybe this will be a good opportunity... it looks good so far! ... So given the format of this LP I have to ask... is this going to be a Nuzlocke?

FUCK NO. This is not going to be a Nuzlocke in any sense of the word. I detest those kinds of masochistic runs. This is a regular playthrough of the game, with my unique commentary, nothing more.
When we last left off, our narcoleptic trainer was just rousing herself. Good kitty. Go play with a Voltorb. Yeah, but I still want a cup of coffee as a courtesy. Two caramel cream, two sweetener, just like I like it. Oh, hey, we have actual DIALOGUE choices now! No I won't. I'll live a perfectly acceptable life as a custodian in the Trainers' School. My aspirations are LOOOOW, woman. We'll see. My judgment is out on a place like this. I'm sure whoever rang it will barge right in anyway. Grab the gun. Remember, castle law. The Bret Hart reject walks in without so much as a hello. Put a shirt on, pervert. Eh, give me a cup of coffee and I'll be right as rain, professor. And you spent all day sitting on the porch instead of unpacking. Lazybones, I may be, but you're worse, mother dearest. Kukui goes on about Kanto. Jesus, man, it was twenty years ago. Let it the fuck go. Lance was a pushover, and Fire Red was better than the original Game Boy games. Man, Fuck Genwun. Oh yeah, we have to do that thing, don't we. I hope the starters are good this time around. ...Fuck, I have to wear the doofy chicken hat, don't I...

Yeeeah. I don't exactly support those nuzlocke challenges. too much effort. The only thing positive is actually creating some sort of bond with the Pokémon caught. I know. bond over strings of data. what a concept.
Anyway, I like that you are pretty much "filling the blanks" for our mute young trainer,

A nice little new feature in Sun & Moon is that you actually have to press A to open doors. You don't go into things automatically. Let's go back to our room and grab our doofy hat. "Okay, I think it's somewhere beneath my comic book collection... Oh, hey, my trade paperback of Nextwave!" Don't get too attached to seeing this doofy chicken flower hat, we're taking it off the first chance we get. I'm sure I'll have a good time when I catch us up from the backlog buffer. Yes, that's why I haven't posted in a while, I've been building up buffer. You call me 'cousin' about as much as Hoak Hogan calls someone 'brother', brother. You MUST be the requisite luchador type in this game. If there's a Fire/Fighting type starter again this Generation I'm rioting. I'm serious, Kukui. Houses will burn, dogs will get kicked, interdimensional portals will open up and let through the Court of Azathoth. Things like that. I don't know the specifics. I'm gonna play it by ear.

It's fire/dark, IIRC. I'm not too sure. I even picked that starter and still rarely use it! Also in solidarity regarding the dumb hat. I had no idea it looked like a flower from the back. All I ever saw was "rooster crown." I really hope they don't make actual hats that look like that.

Yeah, I've played and beaten Sun before, and I know the starters' types, I'm just commenting that just for the sake of it.
We're outside now. The sun's shining, the birds are singing, the waves are crashing on the beaches. On days like this, kids like me should be burning in hell. This is it, everyone. This is all there is. Fun's over, game's done, go home. "Except Po Town. Nobody goes to Po Town." "Where's Po Town?" "You don't have the clearance for that information. Nobody goes to Po Town." "It's pronounced icky town, not eekey town. Remember that." I wonder who this guy is? Oh my god, it's this guy! The guy you ALWAYS SEE IN EVERY POKEMON GAME. God bless you, Science Man. God bless you. Stop and smell the flowers for a bit. They're pretty. I always did like Hibiscus. Maybe. I'll reserve that opinion for the postgame. I'm sure he won't be of any importance in the game whatsoever. I can suggest one, if you've got a Mawile and Mawilite, kid. Two Words: Foul Play.

It's a cozy place. Lots of sumo wrestling here. I love good sumo. I hope this Guardian Deity isn't something stupid. Kukui is confused! Kukui hurt himself in his confusion! Don't worry, we'll look for them. They can't be too hard to find. Great, now Jolyne is confused too! Jolyne hurt herself in her confusion! There's the girl who stole those bag lunches! Get her! She can't have gotten far. I want those ham sandwiches!

Well yeah sure, the Fire starter is Fire/Dark but he is still a luchador-themed Pokémon.... But that's beside the point... waifu#1 is here.

That is not your waifu. She's not anybody's waifu except Jolyne's.
We follow her to this ravine... and it looks like the thing in her bag is trying to-- --escape. Aww, it's adorable! And oblivious to the precarious state of that old, decaying rope bridge, apparently. Oh, hey, birds! Maybe they're here to say 'hi'. Or beg for breadcrumbs. ...Guess not, since they're more interesting in bothering the adorable cosmic fart cloud. I guess this means what I think it means. Don't I recognize you from somewhere? It's not like we caught a glimpse of you in the shitty demo version with your mysterious bag and everything. ...Wait, did I even cover the Demo yet? I should get around to doing that.

Are you alright? Is the fart cloud dissipating? Where's the ham sandwiches, woman, I'm hungry. Wait, that thing has a name? Aww, it's even more adorable when it's in mortal peril! Then why not recall it into a Pokéball? Aren't you its Trainer? You're really going to make me do this, aren't you. When I beat the game, I'm funding a proper reconstruction effort for this bridge with my earnings from the League here. ...What do you mean there's no League? Don't worry! Let me just cover you aimlessly and not rush off the bridge at all while we get divebombed by these Spearow! Surely nothing can go wrong! ...Wait, what's that smell? *pfffffhhhrt* As we plummet into the ravine, we're saved by a flying chicken! This is Tapu Koko. He's pretty chill. He likes long walks on the beach, classic rock, and bar brawls. Lots and lots of bar brawls. Seriously, he makes Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse look like a baboon with Down Syndrome. We're all speechless because he's pretty damn swole. Even the fart cloud wants to hug him and get his autograph. " BUH-GAWCK!" Aaaand his work being done here, Super Ultra Chicken flies off to his home planet, never to be seen again.
