Let's Play Pokémon Green!

Well that was certainly a wall of text. An unneeeded wall of text, though. Everyone here knows about Pokémon, right? Catch Pokémon, throw them at Gym Leaders, get 8 Gym Badges, and fight the Elite Four, while overthrowing a mob and beating your rival along the way.

Well we're going to go do just that, and on the original Game Boy, no less. So let's roll.

Why is the poll there? Aren't all versions of Pokémon pretty much the same?
Bwahahaha, no. ...okay, so Red and Blue pretty much are the same. Green, though? That was only in Japan. Someone was nice enough to translate it, and lo, it is here, in all of its glitchy, Japan-only goodness. Yellow has Pikachu be the starter, and has other minor changes from the first few games.

In addition, whatever game is chosen affects the starter I choose. Red means I get the Fire-type with a blazing spirit, Charmander. Blue means I get the serene Water-type Pokémon Squirtle. Green means I get the...something something...Grass/Poison-type Bulbasaur. Yellow (obviously) means I get the shockingly-adorable Pikachu.

...that pun was so bad.

What else do we, the other people, do?
Suggestions for Pokémon to catch/train, names, whatever else I think of.
Oh yeah,

we need a name for this schmuck (oh yeah, the translation of Green will be hilarious, it seems)(also 'Define' is limited to 5 characters because Japan)

and this schmuck! ...what the fuck is Roky?

That is all.

I was going to go with Yellow, but then I thought Green would likely provide more of an opportunity for the unexpected.

As for the character names, I'd say to stick with RED for the protagonist, and do ROKY for the rival, because it sounds cool. :I

But if we're playing the Green version, then that will mean Red is the protagonist of Green.

Also now I hate myself for voting for Yellow.

Finally you're doing a let's play that's evoking my interest. So don't go on infinite hiatus with it.

Player's name should be Lief, the rival's name needs to be something completely stupid and funny, and I'd like to see you play Green.

But having the protagonist named Green just sounds weird :I

You can just mentally change your vote when it comes to results, though I do think there needs to be an option for changing your answer on these things.

*says nothing about the option I just changed in Lief's post that allows people to change their vote*

People are interested, ergo, I should, in theory, have the will to complete it.

That's saying something about it. :I
It really should be on by default, though.

Voted Green since it should be interesting to see what the original Japanese version looks like (minus the Japanese).

Going to say Lief for the name (because I'm trying to stick to a green theme here).

Rival name?

Spoiler:

I voted Green too! :D

As for names... Lief and Midori. (Midori is the Japanese word for green, and I think it's prettier than just Green. :I)

Midori sounds feminine, though. I, for one, blame Midorikawa for this.

So? The anime Free! had boys that were named Japanese girl names. :I

Yes.

But this isn't Free!. This is Pokémon Green.

EDIT: Also I just realized that Midori is longer then five characters (i.e. the name limit).

But think about how much of an asshole the rival is in Generation I, he desires to have a girly name.

Could shorten it to Mido.
