Until today.

After years of ``dude you have to play it, it's amazing!``. I decided to give it a try, and to make things more fun, I thought it would be cool to see your responses to a total n00b playing this game for the first time in a kinda of mix between diary and ``Let's Play``.

My friend recommended HeartGold so HeartGold it is.

Well, Let's play it then.(Any suggestions to what should I do next in the game are much appreciated since I won't be taking any from my friends)

                       ^{Yeah sure, why not?                                                                        Geez, that's a tough one Professor.}

Yeah, ok, so apparently I live in a world full of really strange animals. But what really shocked me at first was to discover that I live in a world full of rednecks :

                                                                       lol, yeah I named myself HOLYCOW.

Then, mom gave me stuff and said that Professor Elm was looking for me or something. Like a good son that I am, I went to see him and I have a question: Am I special or something? Because I'm sure that Professors don't go around giving research subjects to anyone.

                                                                         ^{Where the fuck is pikachu? I wanted to be like Ash!}

 I decided to choose Cyndaquil based on a lot of mathematical nuances, and biologic characteristics: It's the cutest one.                          

 Di-di-la-ri-doo, Di-di-la-ri-daa, I have to go see Mr Pokémon(what a lovely name) as a task given by Professor Elm. So route 20-something is where I'm headed.

          Isn't that a fire hazard to the forest?                                           Geodude? As in Geology Dude? Who names those things?

Arriving at Cherrygrove City I realized something:

 ^{Free stuff from mom, free Pokémon from Prof. Elm, free potions from Elm's assistant, free health care, free shoes from random old man, FUCK, people in this world  are nice.}

After a few battles on the way, here I am at Mr. Pokémon's house, where him and Professor Oak give me more free stuff: A Pokédex and an egg. Professor Oak tells me I'm special, says we'll meet again in the future, and requires that we exchange numbers, so he's basically hitting on me.

^{Don't give me that look you sick old bastard.}

Time to go back to Professor Elm, who just called to say that something went wrong in Wegivefreedangerousanimalsville. What a shock right?

On my way there, a red-haired girl stopped me and demanded a fight. I defeated her, and went straight  to the Prof. Elm's lab where apparently she stole a pokémon and a policeman asked me her name:

         I refuse to belive that was a boy.                                                        HOLYCOW! It sure is Professor.

More talk, more talk, it looks like now I'm a pokémon adventurer/trainer and I'll travel the whole world to be a pokémon master(god knows what that means) all that with dangerous creatures that can kill you any second, and hey! All that before my 20s! I guess that math and science aren't that important right? Yeah. Also, your mother is waaaay too comfortable with the whole idea.

  ^{Some of it? SOME of it? What a sweet deal!                                                                                          More free stuff...}

Well, that's it for now. So far I like the game and I can see why it's so popular(specially among kids, holy cow, those pokémons sure are cute).

What pokémon should I get next? Geology Dude? High-on-cannabis Owl(Hoothoot)? Rattata? Please tell me.

And to finish:

LOL

Ok, I'm not going to lie. That was hilarious XD

I haven't played HeartGold, but if you haven't yet, you'll want to catch a few extra Pokemon. Make sure to level them up alongside your starter, because having one tank while everything else is low-level won't get you too far.

It's already too late, but you should have saved the game before getting your first pokemon and pick it with a good nature.

Great thread! xD I always thought Geodude was named after a Geode though (like a mineral structure thing)

Since you are playing via emulation, have fun with cheats.

Complete the pokedex!

Dirty pirate!!!!! :p

Awesome stuff!

I haven't played Pokémon in years myself (FireRed being my last purchase), but I'll always have fond memories of it.

The first one I caught in Pokémon Gold was Hoothoot. I didn't train it a lot after it evolved though (because let's be honest: Flying types suck), but I kept it throughout the game since it learned how to fly, which is extremely convenient after a while.

If you are looking for an advantageous Pokémon type, go for electric. Only ground attacks are super effective against them, and they are often very fast!


Good hunting! =)

Avoid this pokemon like the plague.

Get a Krabby!

Can you explain it a little bit better? How do I know if a Pokémon has a good nature?

Ok, I just checked and my Cyndaquil has a brave nature. Thanks.
