I was shocked you didn't go "PP Up? PP must be 'Peelz Peelz'....I LOVE PEELZ!"
It would be too out of character for OLDSNIC. See below.
You know, I've always thought that the toughest battle in the game is the one against your rival on Route 110. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. So I wasn't surprised at all when you almost got your ass kicked.
This is the truth. I don't know how many times I had to do that battle when I first played through Ruby.
That said, nice update and funny jokes. But I don't get it... Why are your LP characters always so glad to be away from home? Why do they hate their parents and nice professors who give them free pokémon and stuff? It seems wrong, somehow.
Well the way I see it, what else would make a 10 year old run away from his home? I mean at 10 years old kids still want to play with action figures and make believe. Something has to drive them away and going on an adventure doesn't really cut it with me.
Another factor you have to bring in is the broken home senario. All the kids live with their mothers and most games don't even have a Father figure for the player character. Maybe the child is angry at the mother because he thinks she let the marrige dissolve? But what happens if the parents are not divorced? What happens if the father is dead? Maybe the child can't bear to see his mother because it keeps reminding him/her of his/her father's death? Maybe that is where the resentment towards the parents comes from. It's up for the reader to decide, because this is supposed to be funny and not a dark depressing story.
But with this LP I wanted to go with a "Prisioner" feel. (This will be more evident in later updates.)
Now the reason why OLDSNIC hates Littleroot and all the people in it is because it is all a little too.... convienent. The town has no shops, no pokecenters and only two families living there. Well I say two families there are NPCs there but there are no houses for them. They never move, they always spout the same lines of dialogue over and over again. They have no names. All I'm saying is that Littleroot is too sureal.
I based the character of OLDSNIC off a mixture of Solid Snake from MGS4 and Sonic the Hedgehog. I imagined Sonic in the boots of Snake. Snake has a history of being cautious and he is a master of stealth. He knows when there is something out of place. As soon as he arrived in Hoenn he knew something was up and that he should get out of here. Thats why when Prof Birch was attacked OLDSNIC took his chance, punched him in the face and ran. He is now a man on the run. He is trying to get as far away from Littleroot as possible, but he knows even though he gets further and further away there is still someone watching him........
