ANNOUNCER CHRONICLES - PART 2

It's the return of the Makeshift Announcer! Ted Lewis is still sick at home, and there's a Poké Cup that needs announcing, so I'm forced to step up to the plate once again. This time, it's the Stadium 2 Poké Cup, but the team that's taking it on here is composed entirely of Pokémon from the Blue version--in fact, the same team that challenged the Stadium 1 Prime Cup in an earlier video of mine. The idea of playing RBY Pokémon under GSC rules was an old favorite of mine, which I called PMPF for "Past Meets Present format" back in the day when generation 2 was still considered the "present."

Compared to the previous announce job, I can't speak for how interesting the battles are this time. I did put in a conscious effort to make sure everything was better choreographed, and in fact unlike the other video, where I only put one take into everything, this time around I recorded myself playing through the cup 3 times and chose the one I thought would yield the best commentary (though the commentary was still done in one take, as before, which is a good thing as speaking almost nonstop for 47 minutes really gets to the vocal chords).

How bad is this disease, whatever it is that's afflicting the standard announcer? Will this replacement announcer have to come back for more? Who knows...maybe you should just stay tuned.
