WELCOME BACK TO SAUCEZ REVIEWZ: POKEPASTAS SERIES!!!

Pasta Name: Leaf Green Beta Scene

Publish Date: March 16, 2012

Synopsis: After the protagonist buys a copy of Leaf Green for nostalgia of Pokémon Blue, he finds out about a “cheat” of beating the Elite Four an XXXX number of times to unlock a beta scene. It all goes downhill once they did unlock it.

Fun Fact: If it took about 25 minutes for the protagonist to beat the Elite Four each time with 8 hours of sleep per day for a whole year, they would have beaten them roughly 20,907 times.

Highlight: The protagonist saying how ridiculous the cheat is.

Quote: “Now that you know my secret, I'll have to take you to my secret garden.” -Bill

Before I go on, I know what you guys want me to address from what you just saw from the COVER ART, but trust me, you will know when it comes. Also, I'm aware that this was on the trollpasta wiki, but I realized that a bit too late because I already had the cover art and half of the script done before I found out it was on the trollpasta wiki. I don't prefer to review trollpastas, but to be fair, Pokémon Dead Channel's on that wiki as well, and I can always make some exceptions every once in a while.

"When I was a younger kid I adored Pokémon Blue."
This is one of the most cliched ways to begin a gaming pasta. Seriously, reliving the past and nostalgia factors, it's been overdone especially for a pasta that came out in 2012.

And one thing that I don't like is how it's always about nostalgia. One suggestion I have would be how about setting a goal on how you would play the game differently than as a kid so you have a goal to reach for when you get the game?

They bought Leaf Green from Amazon. ""This is cliche" you are probably thinking. And that's where you are wrong."
Wow, even the pasta's self-aware. A little advice for pasta writers, don't do this. Saying something like "this may be cliched or unrealistic but it actually happened" or "this is 100% true" just loses credibility for your pasta. If you say it's true, then people are less likely to think that it's true.

"It was a completely official game. At least to my knowledge."
That's still just as cliched for gaming pastas. Person thought it was an ordinary copy of the game when it's not. I mean, I get what you were trying to say like the cartridge wasn't ducktaped, messed with, etc. but it's still generic for gaming creepypastas.

"Being a lover of creepypastas, I made sure that there was an Nintendo sticker."
What?! Like I said with Strangled Red, don't reference creepypastas, it loses credibility. also, what does the cartridge having an Nintendo sticker have to do with anything? is it so it's not a pirated copy or something? Also, It feels like he's taking his time specifying that it's an official game when it could have easily stated without giving so many turns or trying too hard to make it sound legit. One more thing, isn't a seal of authenticity, including the one Nintendo used, like very easy to copy?

"There was (an Nintendo sticker), so I thought I was in the clear, I wasn't."
That's still a cliché for a gaming pasta. We're not even at the WORST part of this pasta and this is not looking good so far. 

"I will never play any Pokémon game again."
Generalization of a franchise after a bad experience is another big cliché in gaming pastas.
"I eagerly took out my GBA and popped in Pokémon Leaf Green."
If you guys thought I had my review in a messed up order, it's not. That's literally how this pasta was written. It feels all over the place and feels chronologically incorrect. Also, the formation in this pasta is a mess because the sentence you see above and the one before are LITERALLY in the exact same paragraph back to back.

Despite being a guy, the protagonist selected Leaf, and they got the same team as their blue copy. That can be a bit common for players choosing the opposite gender. For example, I chose Hilbert for Black and Hilda for White. Couple months later, they finished Sevii Islands, they were bored of the game, so they looked up on the IGN threads for stuff about the game. 

There was a mention of unlocking a beta scene for fire red and leaf green on the IGN thread. The protagonist was interested, so they thought this cheat was ridiculous because it involved beating the Elite Four an insane amount of times. It also said Red and Leaf have different endings. "I won’t state the process because I know some of you will try the cheat and I can’t let you do that." Or maybe because it's fake...? It's "L is Real 2401" all over again. "It's a super secret cheat, man! I have my sources, man. Trust me, man!"

Some time past and they thought about the cheat and looked up the thread about and it was taken down by Nintendo. Now, the protagonist questioned if the cheat wasn't a time waster. If it was a time waster, why would Nintendo remove it?
What are you trying to say for this? Games are meant to be time wasters in a good way. So, what's your point?

The protagonist spent a year beating this cheat to unlock the beta scene because they were THAT BORED. It literally says it's because they were that bored in the pasta because they didn't have any other games to play or have enough money to buy more games.
Okay, I can kind of relate to not affording other games for a year or so, but you have a computer, right? That's how you looked up the IGN thread, so it's not like you didn't have internet. And I understand being bored but a year on the same game doing the same action is overkill... unless it's Animal Crossing New Horizons. Okay, in fairness, the Kanto remakes came out in 2004 and the internet wasn't as arguably huge as it is today. But, come on, there was still stuff to do on the internet at that time like Newgrounds for example. I don't know. I kind of admire your dedication in the repetition though.

After a year, Blue said "You have beaten us XXXX times! I will go to Bill’s to get tickets so I can train on the S.S. Anne!” and his sprite disappeared. I know this is looking too deep into this, but Blue, you're going to train on the S.S. Anne? Really? I don't think battling high Lv. 10 trainers will do much for your Lv. 60-70 team.

So, the protagonist flew to Bill's house and found a Psyduck instead of Chansey. “Hey! Can you push that button on this PC to change back?” There was Bill changed back. The player wondered if Bill will give them tickets to S.S. Anne to Hoenn or Johto. I wish. He just thanked the player and walked into the right portal. The Gameboy started to make funny noises and he walked out to the left. Leaf walked over to the right portal in an automated cutscene. "There is nothing in there!" Bill said as he took a step towards Leaf.
Uh, I don't like where this is going... o-o
So, the protagonist pressed A out of curiosity and they wish they didn't. The portal opened.

Inside were dead bodies of Pokémon, which had a Pikachu, Ralts, Vulpix, Clefairy, and a Psyduck. There was no blood or cuts shown in the image of the cutscene for when you enter a cave or major building, but the color was drained out of them and their pupils were small and dilated. At least there's no hyper-realistic eyes, otherwise we would have all of cliché pasta toppings. And is this what happens to the Pokémon after we released them from Bill's PC?

The protag threw up everywhere from the sight. Really? I don't find it that bad because it just lacks details of the gruesomeness.
If anything, it makes it seem like it's just showing all white and colorless Pokémon in the scene. Oh, well. Some people have different tastes.
The protagonist said they have seen much worse though. Ayy, me too. I mean, really.

The protagonist goes on about how this is a game rated E and was for little kids. Uh, it was TARGETED towards little kids, yes. But... it's actual audience... well... you should know if you've been on the internet long enough. Also, you said rated E. E is for Everyone, not something like Every Youth. There's an Early Childhood rating and Pokémon games don't seem to have that rating on, do they?

"Why did they put this in the game? It was because NIntendo lied to me." (They capitalized the "ni" in Nintendo like that.)
They lied to you about what exactly?! Elaborate? Because no, NIntendo didn't put that in their games.

They went to get towels to wipe off their GBA screen. They saw their screen as Leaf was back in the overworld, just standing there all alone.

End of the Review.

It's obviously a SPOILED PASTA!!!

It's such a cliched mess. It's so generic and simple for my tastes, but it wasn't too bad, right?

My rankings for the reviewed PokéPastas so f- Ugh, fine. We're not actually finished here. I'll talk about the TRUE worst part and ending with the sensitive subjects. :/

So, lemme talk about how this pasta is so far. It's just a cliched mess at worst. It would've been ranked between Pokémon Dead Channel and Prevention of Evolution. But, the next part is what dragged it all the way down to the bottom. Why? Because well... TRIGGER WARNING!!!

It mentions rape, child molest, and pedophilia. I hate these things with a burning passion. And I apologize if I sound angry during this part of the review because honestly, those things really trigger me so much. 
And I apologize if I sound a bit too SJW-ish for this part of the review.

Back to the review, how did this pasta handle them? Horribly. In fact, I don't ever see sensitive subjects like this ever working in creepypastas. Is it creepy and disturbing? Well, yes, but not in the right kind of way. I would consider it more of a shock factor and all it does it trigger, infuriate, or upset people. It's just not something that should be attempted in a creepypasta.


Bill was behind Leaf and says "Now that you know my secret, I'll have to take you to my secret garden." Um, this is making me nervous...

Ice rushed through the player's body, they wanted to quit but the secret garden intrigued them. Uhh...

The screen faded to black... Please... don't...

The secret garden was revealed as the player was shocked. The image filled the whole screen with much more graphics. Unexplained graphic boost cliché.

Words cannot describe the horror. Oh no.

NOOSE TRIGGER WARNING!!!

On a tree, a Pokemaniac hanging from a noose with Nosey written on their front in blood. There it is. The blood. How many more clichés do we need?

By now, the protagonist said they crapped themselves at this point. There was a hiker on the floor cut in half, you could see blood everywhere. Meh horror.

"These next two should have made the game rated A." Oh god.

WARNING: Last chance. Here it comes...

There was a lass with five bullet holes in the head and the bad part was she wasn't wearing any clothes. 
... Are you kidding me?! That's low!

There was also a female Team Rocket grunt who wasn't wearing any clothes either and had strangle marks all over her neck. No. Stop. Just Stop!

The overworld was back and it showed Bill's sprite without any clothes on. .......... Stop right now...

He then laid down on top of Leaf. ........

Then, the credited rolled.

At first, the protagonist didn't understand by they do now. If they were Red, he would have been given tickets to board S.S. Anne to go to Johto and Mt. Silver to battle Gold. The reason why Leaf isn't on top of Mt. Silver is that she was... Oh, ffs... raped to death by Bill after she discovered he killed Pokémon. THANK FLIPPIN' GOD THE LET'S GO GAMES MADE THIS PART OUTDATED WHERE LEAF IS STILL ALIVE!!!

"I will never play a game involving Bill again." You said in the beginning you wouldn't play another Pokémon game ever again. Inconsistent much? Well, you gave up on Pokémon games just like how I pretty much gave up on this pasta at this point.

End of the story.

Thank flippin' God!!

Further thoughts:

What more is there even to say? I mean, rape and molest? That just crosses the line, even for a creepypasta. Even if it didn't have the beyond sickening and controversial ending, it still fails in many ways with being a cliched mess and having a horrible start.

There are fine lines between being entertainingly creepy, being sickeningly creepy, and being controversially creepy. It has a poor build up but such a disgusting and infuriating ending involving rape and child molest which is something you should never try to pull off in a creepypasta because it’s creepy and disturbing in the wrong kind of way. This pasta would’ve been as bad if it didn’t include Bill being naked nor indicates that he rapes women and pretty much told that he raped Leaf at the end.

I personally consider this like the One Coarse Meal of Pokepastas. If you guys don't know, there was an infamous episode of Spongebob called One Coarse Meal where Mr. Krabs takes advantage of Plankton's fear of whales to the point of Plankton wanting to commit suicide and Mr. Krabs not caring about Plankton being suicidal. Pretty much both that episode and this pasta tackles controversial and sensitive subjects and they were handled so poorly too. Even without the controversial moments, the rest of it would still be bad, just not as bad since those moments made them ten times worse.

Now, some people would argue that "well, murder is also controversial and a lot of creepypastas have them anyway." Well, lemme ask you this, if you went to see a horror film, would you be more pissed from witnessing a murder happening in the film or from witnessing rape or sexual assaults happening in the film?

More people would obviously be more pissed from seeing sexual assaults or rape in horror films because they can be traumatizing especially to those who have experienced such things as well. You can at least expect a murder or two to happen in horror films that you're kind of used to it.

You may even cheer for the murder if its like, a classic slasher film, like Nightmare on Elm St. or Friday the 13th, but rape? Always disgusting, never right to portray it like this. It's played for pure shock value and just adds nothing to the story. Not to mention, rape is just worse than murder for the mental scarring that it leaves on people. Also, it's stuff you know some twisted minded people want to do and will look to do it.

So yeah, now you guys understand why Astarte called Bill a pedo in the cover art.

Now, yes, I have made lewd jokes in the past, but I would never cross this line in going into rape, pedophilia, and all of these sickening subjects.

Admittedly, I had a hard time coming up with the highlight for this pasta because there merely was any. Also, the author contradicted themselves at the beginning with saying that they're not not being cliched when it had some of the biggest cliched in gaming pastas in the book and it threw really unnecessary comments to make it sound legit.

My rankings for the reviewed PokéPastas so far (from best to worst, top to bottom):

1.  Easter Egg - Snow on Mt. Silver – Fresh
2.  La Condena de Milotic – Fresh
3.  Hypno's Lullaby – Fresh
4.  Forever Mine (Original) - Fresh
5.  Strangled Red – Dried
6.  Zombreon - Dried
7.  Lost Silver – Dried
8.  Creepy Black – Dried
9.  Abandon Lonliness - Spoiled 
10.  Pokémon Dead Channel – Spoiled
11.  Prevention of Evolution (Original) - Spoiled
12.  Milotic's Revenge – Spoiled
13. Leaf Green Beta Screen - Spoiled

4 Fresh Pastas | 4 Dried Pastas | 5 Spoiled Pastas

It's worse than all of the other Spoiled Pastas for many reasons.
I have mentioned before that I think Loneliness, BRVR, and EEeEE and how they at least tried to tell a story but executed poorly, yet still had potential.
Milotic's Revenge barely had anything in content. 
Leaf Green Beta Scene was just horrible in many ways. Horrible in writing, horrible in content, horrible in story, horrible in execution of serious subjects, etc.
I honestly think barely having any content is better than having so much of horrible content.

I'm not trying to attack the original author in any way and I'm not defending rape, pedophilia, molest, etc. either but I'm pretty sure when the author wrote this pasta, they most likely didn't understand how much of a serious and sensitive subject rape was at the time of writing this. Either that, or maybe they were on an edgy phase and thought that was how to do a horror thing. Or it's just another person trying to troll especially when this pasta is on the trollpasta wiki. This pasta may be on the trollpasta wiki and I am preferably trying to avoid reviewing trollpastas, but I didn't know that until I already wrote half of the script for this review and I already had the cover art made so... But, do any of these things excuse how terrible this pasta is? Well, of course not.

So, do I have any suggestions for fixing this pasta? Well... not really... because even without the sexual stuff at the end, it's still a big generic, and cliched mess. I really wanted to think of suggestions for this, but I really can't for this one. Definitely don't have the disgusting ending, that's for sure. 

I apologize if I was a little too harsh on this pasta. So, what's next on the list...?

Wait, Halloween Special? Oh yeah, what were the results of the polls?

Aaaaand more people voted for me to do my personal "Top 10 Worst Creepypastas" list for all of the polls, deviantArt's poll, my twitter's poll, and the polls on Discord too had more votes for the Top 10 list, so I guess I have to now.

So, stay tuned for my Top 10 Worst Creepypastas list with mini-reviews of each pasta I have listed. I will be splitting it into two parts though because it be so long to put them all in one and because there actually is description kb limit. And yes, I meant ANY creepypastas out there for this list, not just Pokepastas.
