Episode 25 Sunday 11 October 2026

**Recorded on Saturday 10 October 2026

Watch on the Internet Archive

- In Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter, our post-Kanto Saga adventures begin with this episode covering Bonus Chapters 25 (Secret of Joy), 28 (Battle Network), 29 (Goodbye Steve) and the Janine side event, which takes place inside the Fuchsia City Gym.

I had a prior engagement during the day yesterday and ended up recording and editing the episode last night. I'll try to get Episode 26 out tomorrow after work. 

**Extra themes**
- New Island arrival [Drizzle - Pokémon Sapphire] - Mewtwo appearance [Drought - Pokémon Ruby] - New Island Part 2 [Mt. Chimney & Sky Pillar - Pokémon Ruby⁄Sapphire⁄Emerald] - Versus Mewtwo [Trainer Battle - Pokémon FireRed⁄LeafGreen] - Old Video [Mt. Coronet - Pokémon Diamond⁄Pearl⁄Platinum] - Versus Mewtwo Part 2 [Deep Within Team Galactic HQ!! - Pokémon Diamond⁄Pearl⁄Platinum] - Mew appearance [Mewtwo Battle - Pokémon FireRed⁄LeafGreen] - Versus Mewtwo Ending [Lake Crater - Pokémon Diamond⁄Pearl⁄Platinum] - Back on Cinnabar Island [Cinnabar Island - Pokémon FireRed⁄LeafGreen]

For the YouTube version, because of lack of time and because I wanted to try something different, I included audio from Grand Theft Auto III's Chatterbox radio station (hosted by Lazlow Jones), several radio commercials and the first 13 minutes of Grand Theft Auto's K-Chat radio station (hosted by Amy Sheckenhausen). You can let me know if this is better than featuring songs from various Pokémon game soundtracks or if I should continue with the songs instead. I don't mind the songs, it's just that adding them takes time since I make the effort of selecting songs that can fit with the gameplay footage. But this other idea of featuring different kinds of audio is fun and worth testing out.

Checking In (Friday 6 September 2024)

Hello hello, how's it going? I have some good news to share with you, something which I hope will be a nice way to end the week. Behold... It took a while but here we are with the internet upgrade that I had been hoping for. That's the router in the photo above, sitting on one of our old TVs in the dining room. Bought from one of the local mobile networks for $200 USD and monthly we'll be paying $45 for a 5mbps semi-unlimited data package (the actual data cap 1TB but nobody here will be live-streaming or online all day everyday so I doubt we'll reach that cap...unless of course someone decides to save all their super downloading for the days just before the subscription ends. Hmm...). For any of you reading this and shaking your head at the price and the speeds for that price, I totally understand because I know it's a rip off but that's the best package being offered currently outside of what Elon Musk's Starlink is apparently asking for (lowest price is ab...
