mira plays frlg.ips part one
frlg.ips is a rom hack of pokemon firered by novameow. there is a new rock by the water. big thanks to novameow for uploading it onto archive dot org because i wasnt making a pokecommunity acc for this this will sort of be a liveblog because im gonna be writing and adding screenshots as i play. i did the setup and delivered oak's parcel before deciding to write this
setup's going smoothly but i had to do a little more back and forth bc i forgot to get the town map when i went back to viridian after giving oak the parcel lol
(got poisoned in viridian forest) oh right pokemon take overworld damage from poison in older games shit
riveting gameplay
oh my god i wish i could catch pokemon in frlg.ips
okay thank fuck im in pewter city now. gonna grind up to wartortle and then i'll beat up brock
BECOME STRONGER
thank god mgba has a fast forward feature bc it makes grinding so much more tolerable
okay it evolved after brock
what the fuck was that noise.
(checking guide) okay i gotta evolve this thing fully before the ss anne. gotta find a lucky egg and it seems the info for that is on the site so i gotta get to splorin
charmed by the rumors page. really cute. also i found the lucky egg guide, just gotta consult this other guide for dodging the encounters in mt moon
mt moon's going well, just had to reset a couple times after accidentally triggering trainer encounters! thank god mgba has a quick reset and fast forward
score. this guy was a supernerd for like half a sec after i interacted with the shadow btw. weird
time for The Method
okay nvm turns out theres no going back to mt moon from cerulean. once again thank god theres a fast forward feature in mgba
okay finally i can beat up blue
actually nvm i fucked up the setup and had to reset. beat up misty BEFORE grinding up wartortle. gonna then grind up to level 35 and then fight blue.
okay bye blue. (consults guide) okay i should get a blastoise by the end and then teach it surf when it levels up
annnnd i got blastoise again! hooray!
okay something should happen when i go into these flowers.
the garden.
oh there's mist now! and bubbles!
what the fuck is that.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.
okay i fucked up by not healing before gardening gotta go back to that state and heal rq

...the guide says to hard save and then restart.
what in the out of bounds is going on
no clue what this thing is but it makes me teleport
wow i wonder where this goes!
oooh neat shadow maze puzzle. i fw the voice saying the amt of a direction you gotta go outlined by the (really cute) blog post. kind of an unsettling one, though...i hope abby's okay :<

i uh. dont think the captain made it! wow i wonder what's under the water
(on the pier) WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

"Maybe there were no trees here!"
oh the voice really likes bill.

got the key, did the shoreline thing and uh. is the voice missingno
missingno said some really cool well written stuff to me and then gave me uh. something. i feel like this deal theyre giving me is a bad idea but i got a ???key so its okay
sans sailor is lecturing me about gambling. thanks
okay i have a really bad feeling about this
okay so there was a loredump in the hideout but BASICALLY the scientists tried doing some pokemon glitch shit with mewtwo and missingno and uh. fucked up big time and created an infohazard that eventually led to us doing a similar thing with our freak.
OH THOSE ARE SOME AWESOME NOISES. level 17 btw. AND an odd ticket!
gonna stop here for tonight because it isssss 12 am! i will continue Tomorrow. this is a really big romhack just looking at one of the guides
