History LetsPlay / Chorocojo

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: According to the fake Wikipedia page on the Elite Four, the Elite Four once created an album which attempted to “combine the genres of Metal, Electronica, and Country Western by the medium of Japanese Whaler-Ship Foghorns.”

Chorocojo, previously known as Red Chocobo, is a popular video and screenshot [[LetsPlay Let’s Player]] on Website/SomethingAwful. He is most well-known for his [[LetsPlay Let’s Plays]] of the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} series and is likely the first person to ever Let's Play a Pokemon game.

* VideoGame/{{Touhou}} [[http://lparchive.org/Touhou-1-6/ [=:05 Mystic Square=]]] - Character: A Bunch Of Touhous - Alongside Zorak.

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:All of [[PokemonQuartz Foxy's]] [[AllJustADream adventures]] were caused by Misty forcing an incompatible Dream Eater TM on her Ludicolo and testing it on Foxy.]]

* BrokenStreak: The Black 2 LP uses the male Trainer, as opposed to the female trainers that Chorocojo had used for the past five Pokemon [=LPs=]. However, by this point he was tired of doing female characters, viciously lampshading it the last two times beforehand.
** However, during the segments where Chorocojo showcases Pokestar Studios filming, he alternates to the female trainer, Rosa.

*** Sammy hears Misty's AtomicFBomb from the Wailord and Relicanth bit. From Kanto.
*** Sammy also refers to the ability to talk to Sudowoodo - an ability Roxy apparently had in the ''Crystal'' LP - as a crappy superpower.

* ExpandedUniverse: There are several minor facts and sidestories about characters and events either that never come up over the Let's Plays or are added as interludes by Zorak. (i.e. The theory of Lady being a vampire or Red's random drawings. [[http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/ChocoBucket/zebstrikaaa-1.jpg]])
** Even in their video let's plays, they have a tendency to build up elaborate explanations for why irrational things happen.

* {{Jerkass}}/JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Misty and Vinny are not the nicest people around and [[WhatTheHellHero did morally questionable things at times]] but can be nice if they wanted to.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Chorocojo himself has a moment of this in [=FireRed=] when his Kabuto is hit by a [[OneHitKill Guillotine]] attack, which he had used frequently in the Crystal LP.

** She also goes out to kick Team Rocket's ass because news coverage of the Silph Incident is airing instead of her anime, and she wants it back.

** Lady's first romp through the Distortion World to confront Giratina is done in video format; given that the Distortion World is described as being on the "opposite side" of the normal one, it makes sense for the LP to switch to the opposite format. The second, much shorter one simply has Choro's notes (in subscript and clearly labeled) and Lady's observations switch places.
* [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition Pokémon Platinum: Platinum Version]]: If one were to look at the archived version of the Platinum LP, almost all of the art has been colored and touched up. The [=FireRed=] LP has also had some of the artwork redone in higher quality when it was put back up on the website.

* SanitySlippage: After getting hit on the head hard by a rock while climbing up a waterfall outside Victory Road with a Finneon (not the brightest idea in the world to begin with), Lady becomes disoriented, and acts a bit... weird, and a bit stupid. She even makes note of her head wound multiple times and still does nothing about it. She gets better, though.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Giant Metal Birds With Swords For Feathers]]: Sammy has a deathly fear of Skarmory due to a childhood incident (which, incidentally, is also why she spends so much time inside playing video games).
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Haley of the Black LP is quite strong and enjoys wrestling in general. She also avoids one battle with an unfortunate Team Plasma grunt by simply [[SuplexFinisher suplexing them]], and takes out another later with a reverse DDT. Her Audino, Hansel, also seems to be a wrestler.

** Lady's romp through the Distortion World to confront Giratina is done in video format; given that the Distortion World is described as being on the "opposite side" of the normal one, it makes sense for the LP to switch to the opposite format.

*** He also gets mad when animals that don't make sense show up on Zorak's boat.
** Chorocojo gets incredibly angry when Bear drinks piss in Man vs. Wild: The Game.
*** And when Zorak messes up a jump...
**** Or makes a supremely awful pun...

* BookEnds: The [=Platinum=] LP starts and ends with [[spoiler: a three-panel exchange between an excited Jorge and a confused Lady.]]

*** Sammy wonders "who uses Kingler? Especially a ''girl'' Kingler" when fighting a trainer on Two Island with one - Roxy had used a female Kingler. Making it even funnier, said Kingler promptly one-hit KO's Sammy's Kabuto with Guillotine, which Roxy's had ''also'' frequently done.

* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Invoked. Misty briefly experiments with breeding her Pokémon, mating her Seviper with a Pikachu. It’s also touched on with one of Sammy’s favorite shows, “Will They Breed.”

** CargoShip: Her opinion on Celio's "obsession" with gemstones is very similar.

* OtakuSurrogate: Sammy. Most of her adventures are started either by running out of juice or wanting to buy a new video game.

* PaintingTheMedium: When Sammy's stumbling through the pitch-black Rock Tunnel without Flash, the Let's Play switches from text-and-screencaps to [=MP3s=].

* RunningGag: Several times in the Pokémon Platinum LP, Chorocojo reuses the screenshot of Rowan warning Lady and Jorge not to do anything reckless, right before doing something reckless.

** Her Audino, Hansel, also seems to be a wrestler.

* [[spoiler: AllJustADream: Pokemon Quartz ends up being a psychedelic nightmare induced in Foxy due to Misty's reckless TM experimentation.]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]] All over the place, but in particular is Lucas from the Platinum LP, who thinks Lady is a vampire.

* SanitySlippage: After getting hit on the head hard by a rock while climbing up a waterfall outside Victory Road with a Finneon(Not the brightest idea in the world to begin with), Lady becomes disoriented, and acts a bit... weird, and a bit stupid. She even makes note of her head wound multiple times and still does nothing about it. She gets better, though.

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:All of [[PokemonQuartz Foxy's]] [[AllJustADream adventures]] is caused by Misty stuffing an incompatible Dream Eater TM on her Ludicolo and tested it on Foxy.]]

* BrokenStreak: The Black 2 LP uses the male Trainer, as opposed to the female trainers that Chorocojo had used for the past five Pokemon [=LPs=].

* IdiotHero: Haley, partly due to her CountryMouse status. She openly admits to being BookDumb and DumbMuscle, but that said, she's not only [[OnlySaneMan the only one who goes for practical solutions]], but much less sarcastic and more benevolent than the other protagonists.

* SurroundedByIdiots: How Chocorojo portrays Vinny and Lady, with lots of moments of mocking the characters around him, especially the rival.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Bianca's journal reeks of this.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]] All over the place, but in particular is Lucas from the Platinum LP, who thinks Lady is a vampire.

* SurroundedByIdiots: How Chocorojo portrays Vinny, with lots of moments of mocking the characters around him, especially the rival.
