31P. All the Magnemites

So, a couple of months back Amanda started Pokémon Red. While she was frustrated at first, she finally got the hang of it and came to love the series. She's since completed Gold and is working diligently on Ruby until she buys herself a DS.

Now, if you'd recall (if you read the blog and have an astoundingly good memory) I said I'd make a list of all the excellent quotations Amanda let fly while playing Pokémon Red for the first (and second) time.

Some of these are out of order because Amanda played through the game 3 times due to save file crashes.

"I talked to the guy. Do I have a badge now?"

"I can't believe I'm about to tell you what I'm about to tell you. I don't have a bike."

"God, that Gary is such an asshole."

"This isn't going quite as planned."

"You just wait till I get to the Elite Four; that's when all hell breaks loose!"

Amanda:"I'm in a stalemate and I can't do anything!"

Patrick:"Why, what's going on?"

Amanda:"Well I'm paralyzed, for starters..."

Amanda:"How come I can't get into the Gym?"

Patrick:"Because it's the last one. You come back here later."

-The Next Day-

Amanda:"So I think I have 3 Badges."

Patrick:"You already went through the SS Anne, got HM01 and beat Lt. Surge?"

Amanda:"No, but I've seen 3 gyms already."

...

Amanda:"Oh, no, wait. I couldn't do the first one. Do I have to go back?"

Patrick:"Did you catch an Abra yet?"

Amanda:"Oh, I'm WAY past there. I'm fine."

-The Next Day, at Celadon Gym-

Patrick:"You do realize getting an Abra would make your life a lot easier, right?"

Amanda:"..."

Patrick:"Oh, fuck. Just go buy one."

Amanda:"YOU MEAN I CAN JUST BUY AN ABRA!?"

*Instructs her to get the Coin Case, buy coins and get the Abra.*

Amanda:"Ok, so I'm at the Gym. But there's some jerk police guy standing in my way."

*She's talking about the Team Rocket guy in front of Saffron Gym, and she's meant to be (as per following the guide) going into the Fighting Dojo beside it.*

Patrick:"You're at the wrong place then."

*I'd forgotten the order of my guide, and knowing she'd just gotten to Celadon, she was at the wrong Gym.*

Amanda:"No I'm not! I followed your guide. It must be wrong."

Patrick:"I'm pretty sure it's right. Look it over."

*She reads through it, then goes over the map, the walks around in the game.*

Amanda:"Oh."

Patrick:"What?"

Amanda:"There are TWO buildings called GYM in this town!"

"My carpals hurt!"

Amanda:"But I don't have any flying Pokemon!"

Patrick:"What about that Spearow?"

Amanda:"Oh wait, I forgot birds fly."

Amanda:"I've been on this cinnabun island for over an hour."

Patrick:"I'll draw you a map."

Amanda:"That's what I was fishing for."

"Oh, Dugtrio just died. I guess I'll use (Kad)Abra, he saves me from everything."

"Should I sell my balls?"

Amanda:"I can't even tell you what just happened. Mostly because I don't even know."

Patrick:"What?"

Amanda:"I lost my save file."

Patrick:"Again?"

Amanda:"I can't even think about this."

On Bidoof:

Amanda:"His teeth are all over the place!"

Patrick:"Like, you've been beating on him so hard his teeth fell out?"

Amanda:"No, it was a joke. It was mean."

"You know which Pokémon I hate the most? Magnemite."

I would like to make a side note about this post. My computer recognizes the spelling of Pokemon correctly ONLY when there's an accent on the é. I love my Mac.
