Introduction and the fruits of a recorded Monotype Grass run

[El Doriga]

Hello, huh...

 

...what did Popo call a group of humans, again?

Oh right, an infestation. Welp. 

 

Anyway... I don't even know if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes.

 

Greetings. My name is El Doriga, formerly known as Void Hollow back when I was an edgelord in the Reborn Pokémon Online server (boy, that was a long time ago). As you can guess, a lot of things changed for me, but the love for Grass-type Pokémon I had (and still have) remains strong. I was indeed too lazy to recover my old account, though.

That is why some time ago I decided I would challenge myself to start a Pokémon Reborn Monotype Grass run, record everything and upload it to YouTube. I finished the game a while ago and have been waiting on the Episode 16 release ever since, so I could continue it.

 

 

Now, you might be wondering why I didn't advertise myself before. Well, allow me to explain the circumstances.

 

The first few times I recorded the game were rather tranquil. Everything was going extremely well, except for my internet connection, which was going through some tough problems, my microphone, which was bad and my english, which was really rusty - problems that I solved as soon as I could. My computer, however, was already around seven years old and slowly dying.

Due to me having no internet and nothing better to do with my free time, I recorded a lot of videos in a short period of time. When my connection got fixed, I uploaded all of them. But things weren't as smooth anymore.

My computer's situation was worsening, and the results were starting to show. Some videos had desynched sound, and later on I started getting some sound and image bugs. Good thing was, I could play around them, but they appeared for a few episodes. I redownloaded the game, and the sound bug (it'd eternally loop one single part of the BGM currently playing, which forced me to turn off BGM sound and restart the game as soon as I could) stopped. But then there was lag. An ever worsening storm of lag, not when I played the game, but when I recorded it. 

After shooting Part 50 of my series (when I beat PULSE Avalugg), I decided I could no longer do it. Not with that computer.

I didn't have money for another one, though, so I kept using it for the next sixth months, until it finally died. RIP. Luckily for me, I was able to buy a good new one then, and retrieve my Save Datas. Only then I could finish Episode 15 and upload it.

 

So overall... eh. The videos are watchable for the most part, I guess. At least I don't recall having any sort of major problem at the most important parts of the game. I have two tests this week, and I'll be free to start recording E16 after that. If any of you are looking forward to that, or if you want to check out my older videos too - the whole thing or just the most important parts, here is the link to my channel. Don't expect any kind of top quality content, but every bit of help is appreciated. There is a lot of fun stuff like me beating Garchomp, trying to beat Florinia's Ferroseed a thousand times (I had no counter to Ferroseed/Thorn for the longest time) and beating Arceus almost with only Venusaur to prove the superiority of our Lord and Savior Helix and his newfound successor, the almighty Alolan Exeggutor.

Also, since Decidueye easily became my favorite Pokémon after I played Pokémon Sun (yes, I did a monograss run of that too, but I didn't record it), I might reboot the series in the future, this time starting with Rowlet, whenever the new Pokémon are added to the game, since I got most of the problems I had with recording fixed. I will announce it if I decide to do so.

 

 

Thanks for your attention,

That one guy probably too obsessed with Grass-type for his own good.

I see a lot of Cradily thumbnails and I will watch for that. I use one in my mono-fossil run and it's a beast. Could I sugest you put you videos in a playlist? Makes it easier for that watchers/I am lazy. I look forward to watching this.

Sorry for not answering earlier, today was a rather busy test day for me, but I've created the playlist. Here you go:
