2:00

But it was nice because like, even if you

2:02

didn't get a shiny, like I turned on a

2:04

lucky egg because they had two times XP for

2:06

nice, great, excellent. And

2:08

I personally found Cryagonal to

2:10

be easy to excellent. Yeah,

2:13

it's one of those bigger Pokémon. So

2:15

I just wanted, I did not

2:17

want to start our episode without

2:19

acknowledging the year of Cryagonal. They've

2:21

been going into those catch mastery events more

2:23

and more for the last couple of years.

2:26

I think it's because they want to

2:29

have the events only be accessible to

2:31

people who aren't playing solely with a

2:33

plus or a plus plus, or

2:35

any of those devices. Oh, right. Where they

2:38

want you to actually be there catching the

2:40

Pokémon by throwing the Pokéball. Please

2:45

play the game we want to

2:47

play. Please.

2:51

The big news here. That was it. I just

2:53

want to talk about Cryagonal for

2:55

like 45 seconds. Okay,

2:59

so this is the press release

3:02

December 7th. Today, the Pokémon Company

3:04

International announced more details on the

3:06

hidden treasure of Area Zero Part

3:08

2, the Indigo Disk DLC

3:10

for the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

3:12

video games. That is

3:15

how they would work that very

3:17

long game. We need to make sure

3:19

we use every title possible. The

3:21

Indigo Disk launches exclusively on the Nintendo

3:24

Switch family of systems on December 14th.

3:27

We don't have a date for the

3:29

record. We can assume or just guess

3:31

that it's going to be like

3:33

how they did the teal mask,

3:36

which was UTC time. Or

3:38

sorry, not UTC time. It was

3:41

10 a.m. Japan time, I believe

3:43

is when it came out, which I don't

3:46

know, did math on that. That was like 8 p.m. U.S.

3:50

Central time or something. Yeah,

3:52

something like that. I just want to remind people that

3:55

the Crown Tundra and the Isle of Armor did not come

3:57

out at the same time. They were very different times.

4:00

So again, we can assume

4:02

that maybe it comes out at the same time, but

4:04

we don't have a time as of now. They

4:07

showed a new cinematic trailer. Their

4:09

press release is incredibly short

4:12

for the

4:14

website. Can

4:16

we start with the weird? Let's start with the weird thing. They

4:19

showed a brand new mechanic. Yep.

4:23

It's called the synchro machine. This

4:26

is what we're going to... It's Pokepark 3.

4:30

But Pokepark's bad. I

4:33

don't... It's not though.

4:36

Once players progress far enough in

4:38

their adventure of the hidden treasure

4:40

of Area 0, part

4:42

2, the Indigo Disc, they will

4:44

be able to use the device called the

4:46

synchro machine to see the world in

4:48

the eyes of their Pokémon. While the synchro

4:51

machine... While synchronized with one

4:53

of their Pokémon, they can move around and

4:55

battle wild Pokémon, a fresh way to play

4:58

the game. It appears that the device

5:00

is a prototype. Players can use

5:02

it once they help the scientist

5:04

in the terrarium with her research.

5:06

So just like a super fun

5:08

fact. This was the lady

5:10

that Nintendo told me not to talk to. I

5:14

was like, oh, she has cool hair and

5:16

she's standing next to this giant computer. Let

5:19

me talk to her. And they were like, do not talk to that

5:21

woman. Do not talk to her. Get

5:23

away from her. They were like, don't

5:26

talk to that woman. I was like, okay. I

5:28

didn't know anything about this. This

5:30

was not like on the embargo. They

5:32

didn't say anything about this. To

5:35

be cynical for a second,

5:38

what's the point? That's not

5:40

cynical. That is a

5:42

valid question. What is the point? It

5:45

feels like they had

5:47

a bigger idea and then they're

5:49

like, oh, nothing works right.

5:53

That's how most of this game feels valid.

5:56

This one in particular where it's just like,

5:58

why? Like even. One,

6:00

was anybody asking for it? Like

6:03

I don't think so. And two, what does it do? It

6:07

just feels like a weird, like

6:10

even as half baked as most

6:12

of the things I've done in this game, this feels

6:14

like a quarter baked. Yeah,

6:16

like, just weird.

6:19

Like usually you want to do something in a game

6:21

that gives you some sort of reward. So

6:24

like, you could, I'm not

6:27

saying that this is good, but the reason you would

6:29

want to like brush your Pokemon

6:32

and then shampoo them and

6:34

rinse them off in the game is because it

6:36

does increase the happiness and that might be like

6:39

your preferred way to increase the happiness.

6:42

So like, is this mode a

6:45

faster way to get the

6:49

Snow Runt snot or

6:51

like, Absol livers?

6:54

Like is it faster to do

6:56

that? What

6:59

are we doing here? Yeah, what

7:01

are we getting out of it? Like how

7:03

far can we explore? Can I, like

7:06

it's only in the terrarium, right? So you can only

7:08

do a Pokemon in the terrarium. So can I explore

7:10

the whole terrarium? If I am exploring

7:12

what happens when like a shiny shows up,

7:14

I'm sure those questions will be answered when

7:16

we get it. But I'm just

7:19

curious. Here's the thing

7:21

though, there's like useless things in like all Pokemon

7:23

games. Like there's a photography mode in Sun and

7:25

Moon. What did it do? Actually

7:27

nothing. Like you

7:30

had to like force tutorial it. There

7:32

was other things to do in

7:34

like Ruby and Sapphire. You had a

7:36

contest, contest gave you ribbons. Like there,

7:38

it was like a deeper mechanic. This

7:40

doesn't seem very deep, but like

7:43

when it comes to like useless

7:45

things like the photography mode, I

7:47

think being your favorite Pokemon is

7:49

more interesting. Like if it, like

7:51

there is probably, hopefully, fingers

7:54

crossed if I'm assuming this is gonna be like

7:56

semi decent, there should be a difference

7:58

between being a Pikachu and then And being

8:00

a Joltik, a very, very tiny Pokémon,

8:02

and being a Slowpoke, a very, very

8:04

slow Pokémon, and then like being a

8:06

Rayquaza, a Pokémon that can fly.

8:10

Ideally, those four Pokémon

8:12

I just named should

8:14

feel different. And

8:16

that's kinda cool if

8:19

they all feel different. If. Let's

8:21

remember the Ekans animation. Well,

8:24

that was BDSP. I'd look. Yeah,

8:27

it's better in these games, slightly. Just

8:31

saying, let's tamper down

8:33

our expectations. And it

8:35

says you can do that with other people.

8:38

That's cool. But again, what are

8:40

we doing together? Like if they're

8:42

saying that this is like a way to get Urbamistica or

8:44

this is a way to get Star

8:46

Pieces, like even if it was like this is a

8:48

way to get money faster, I think

8:50

some people would be like, oh my gosh, I don't

8:53

have to like auto battle the Elite Four or the

8:56

Paldea tournament over and over again. Like we

8:58

have- Honestly, I think

9:00

just picking up items off the

9:02

Tiamask is a faster way to

9:04

get money at this point. But

9:06

it can be cool. And

9:09

I hope it's cool. But I feel

9:11

like when you show a new feature and you're like, you

9:13

can be any Pokémon you want. Which they didn't say in

9:15

this. They did say in the Japanese, like

9:18

Q&A thing that you could be any Pokémon.

9:21

I think a lot of people, including us, we

9:23

just wanna know why. Yeah,

9:26

I just wanna know why. I

9:28

mean, it looks cool. It looks like a thing that

9:31

that'll be fun for at least a few Pokémon.

9:35

And then you could be good. Kind

9:38

of like Ogre Austin was. Unless you

9:40

went real hard and tried to get that final prize on

9:42

it. Yeah, well, like Ogre, I

9:44

was saying you could be like, well, I want to

9:46

beat my own score. Like there

9:48

is a there is like a score thing there. And

9:50

there is like a game that you can actually get

9:53

better at. I don't know if you can get better.

9:59

Like they could. a lot of cool stuff with it

10:01

like what if you do bring like all

10:03

the EV like what if four people bring

10:05

four different EVs is there like a little

10:07

secret what if four people bring all the

10:09

orichoreos like like they could add so many

10:11

cool things to that I don't

10:14

think they would but yeah if

10:16

I was like man I want to

10:18

be pom-pom and Greg is like I

10:20

want to be sensei and Hannah's like

10:22

I want to be the Hawaii one

10:24

I think there's a lot of potential

10:26

here but based on the framework

10:28

of scarlet and violet I'm

10:30

not holding my breath but

10:33

maybe they're cool it's new

10:35

it's a new thing so I

10:37

have anything that's a checkbox new

10:39

we'll just go through the press release and then we'll circle

10:41

back and what we missed the power of flight

10:44

legendary Pokemon karate on a Mariah and we'll

10:46

gain the power to fly for the first

10:48

time when trainers take on the elite four

10:50

set by amorous wait

10:53

how is their name Emma yeah

10:55

amorous amorous of the

10:57

BB League of the elite for while

10:59

this power is first to be believed to

11:02

only be temporary it can apparently

11:04

be made permanent I like how the

11:06

press release says I can you're the

11:08

you know you you know you

11:11

press release person actually know what

11:13

can happen allowing karate

11:15

on Mariah on the fly at any

11:17

time but only once players have made

11:19

it far enough in their adventure trainers will be

11:21

able to fly wherever they please with their legendary

11:23

Pokemon and enjoy a sense of freedom that only

11:26

an open world can provide that's

11:28

cool uh that's a good change

11:30

I mean if

11:32

we can fly everywhere not just

11:35

in the terrarium but like we can fly

11:37

everywhere I'm in if it's just you can

11:39

fly in the terrarium and that's it fine

11:41

I guess it depends on how big the

11:44

terrarium is like how much

11:46

of a benefit that actually is it sounds

11:48

like you're gonna be able to fly everywhere and it

11:50

sounds like you're gonna be able to fly over all

11:52

of the tiny Pokemon that everyone would run into

11:54

on accident otherwise one

11:56

thousand percent I would need to be able

11:59

to fly everywhere Here's

12:01

the thing though, here's the actual secret to this

12:03

game. Just never fly. People

12:06

all the time are like, Steve, how do you get so many

12:08

shinies? You get so

12:10

many shinies compared to... I literally just walk everywhere. If

12:13

it's like I can fast travel to the auction or I

12:15

can spend like 60 seconds walking, just

12:17

walk. Because you'll probably find a

12:19

shiny along the way. Every time you fast travel, you're

12:21

just skipping 30 Pokemon. Blissfully.

12:28

That's like, that's all... I rarely use

12:30

urban mystical in the game. I just like, oh,

12:32

I need to go to the auction. It's

12:34

like a two minute walk. I'll just walk and then like I find

12:37

something along the way. Again, this is

12:39

another thing they can mess up. I'm curious

12:41

if... So they added more settings in the

12:43

teal mask. Like

12:45

whatever where

12:48

you do like auto save and sound options. They

12:50

added more. I don't remember exactly how much... Did

12:52

they add more though? I

12:54

hope there's a inverse

12:58

toggle inverted mode for flying.

13:01

Yeah. Gosh, my

13:03

biggest fear is there's not and it's like

13:05

inverted for which is a monster way to

13:07

play anything. And

13:10

if like, if there's no

13:12

toggle for inverted, can I

13:14

just then turn it off? Because I

13:17

don't want to invert fly. I'm just

13:19

glad. If

13:23

you do it enough, you'll get used to it. When

13:28

you flew in the wormholes, I

13:30

know you could turn off motion control. You had to do it.

13:33

You had to do it one time and then you

13:35

could go into the settings and turn it off. But

13:37

that wasn't inverted. And I don't think

13:40

there was an option to inverted. I

13:42

thought it was. Was it inverted? I

13:44

think it was and you had to change it. Maybe

13:47

I'm thinking wrong. I'm like... It's

13:49

been a very long time since I played that.

13:52

I'm trying to imagine how I flew

13:54

with my 3DS. Well, I mean, and

13:56

then like do the first one.

14:00

I get like there should be an invert, there should

14:02

be both, there should be for people who like invert,

14:04

they should be able to have that on and for

14:06

the rest of the sane world, they should have that.

14:11

For pilots, you can keep it on

14:13

invert because we need you to not

14:16

mess up how you actually fly planes. Everybody

14:18

else should go to what you expect. Right,

14:22

right. Correct.

14:26

Again, I think this is a

14:28

good feature. I think maybe

14:31

they should

14:33

have bumped this one up to the teal

14:35

map. I

14:37

totally get the, we want

14:39

you to play our game. This is

14:41

a very MMO trope of like, we

14:44

want you to explore

14:46

our world before you get to fly

14:49

over it and then never walk again.

14:51

So I get that. It's like a

14:53

very typical game mechanic of like, we're

14:55

going to hide the actual flying post

14:58

game or whatever. I think

15:00

in a perfect world, maybe you bump this

15:03

up to the teal mask because

15:06

this feature I think is a

15:08

selling point for DLC. I'm

15:11

like, oh, I don't have to fly it anymore.

15:13

I can actually fly. I

15:16

don't want to say like

15:18

too little too late, but I think that's

15:20

like a better, like, a new,

15:22

is there any new mechanics in the teal mask?

15:25

The color of your Pokedex changes. Yeah.

15:28

Oh, that's true. That's true. I

15:30

don't know if that's a good, so I mean, I think it's

15:32

cool that you could change your Pokedex. I don't

15:34

know if that's a selling point. Oh, the new

15:36

camera stuff. The new camera stuff. Oh, yeah, the

15:38

camera stuff. The new camera stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

15:42

You got to tell it. You could tell your Pokemon to hold still and

15:44

stop running around in the background. Yeah. Cease

15:46

that incessant running. And

15:49

stay awake. And stay awake. And

15:51

they get pictures here. They could also dance

15:53

if you like change the song. We

15:56

need a good picture for the holiday

15:58

cards for Grandma. sit

16:00

still or Santa's not bringing

16:02

you baby

16:09

cues let's talk about

16:12

some BBQ and now when

16:15

this was the one thing that was

16:17

on the embargo that I

16:20

wasn't allowed to talk about was BBQs to

16:22

be fair I what I had

16:24

there's there's two emotions I have so

16:27

I'm like sitting and I'm sitting in the uber in this

16:31

hour-long uber that Nintendo paid

16:33

for to get from JFK to

16:36

Midtown and they're like

16:38

hey before tomorrow's appointment make sure you read

16:40

over the embargo sign

16:42

it and on the embargo it said don't

16:45

talk about BBQs and that's all it said

16:47

and I was like

16:49

oh my gosh we're getting rid

16:51

of the garbage sandwich mechanic hot

16:54

dog hot we're grilling burgers like

16:56

whatever they're doing with the sandwich

16:58

is thrown away we're doing barbecues

17:00

now that sounds awesome yeah

17:03

that's not what that is that

17:05

is blueberry quest which you know

17:08

it's a good name it

17:10

is but blueberry

17:13

is one word it's BQ there's no

17:17

space between blue and berry we

17:20

don't capitalize they have a very very call

17:24

them be cues their be

17:26

cues they're not BBQs life

17:29

at blueberry academy includes extracurricular activities

17:31

called the blueberry quest or BBQs

17:33

for short BBQs are assigned out

17:35

to students by the school and

17:37

by completing them you will earn

17:40

blueberry points or BP a

17:42

currency use at the academy you can

17:44

use I love how every game we

17:46

get a new name for what

17:48

a BP is yeah points bang

17:51

points I do like

17:53

that I do like that they're very consistent with

17:55

that but okay but they're not consistent because keeping

17:58

with their statement should be BP points BPP.

18:01

BPPs. BPPs. You

18:04

can use

18:07

BPP in places such as the school

18:10

store or the cafeteria but that's not

18:12

all. After joining the League Club, you

18:14

can use BP to do things like

18:16

add features to the club room which

18:19

if we remember you could upgrade the

18:21

dojo in the Isle of Armor. Mostly

18:24

that vending machine. Just the vending machines

18:26

all anybody cared about. You

18:30

can use BP to do things like add features

18:32

to the club room or invite other trainers you

18:34

know to the academy. What's more,

18:36

you'll be able to take on group quests with

18:38

friends which will task you

18:40

with things for searching for ditto that

18:42

has transformed into blocks and hidden themselves

18:44

around the terrarium. Have fun

18:46

with your friends as you overcome challenging

18:48

missions together. So we'll stop

18:51

there for now. I don't think I

18:53

have any problems with this. I think this sounds

18:55

great. I think this is just another new gameplay

18:57

loop that they've introduced. I

18:59

don't know if there's an end to

19:02

the BPPs or

19:04

if they refresh every day or how grindy

19:08

it is. If you could only

19:10

earn like 1000 points a day and you

19:12

need like 2000 points to invite a

19:15

legendary which we'll get to that. Are

19:17

people just going to move their clock forward to then do

19:19

another and then do another? Probably.

19:23

It kind of feels like when I actually

19:25

zoomed in and looked at the quests, it kind of

19:27

feels like research tasks in Pokemon Go.

19:30

Yeah, yeah. One of the... So if we just look

19:32

at the quest line here, it says there's like a

19:35

gold one that's worth 600 BP and it

19:38

says catch the Pokemon that matches with the hints you were

19:40

given and then it says for 20 BP

19:43

successfully sneak up on one Pokemon and

19:45

surprise them with a battle. 30

19:48

BP, traslize your Pokemon and defeat

19:50

a wild Pokemon and then 30 BP

19:52

take a photo of a

19:54

wild Pokemon while it's swimming. So like that's

19:57

cool and they have little symbols like... These

20:00

are the ones you can battle the photo has like a

20:02

little picture I don't think anyone listening

20:04

to the show would be like I don't want like Side

20:08

quests or mini tasks and like this is

20:10

a cool feature. Like this is really really. Yeah

20:14

Especially if you can just grab a bunch and

20:16

then just do them as you explore the world

20:19

Mm-hmm. I think when you when

20:21

you have an open-world game There

20:24

are usually I'm gonna use Final

20:26

Fantasy 14 as an example Log

20:28

into the game and then normally you go. Well,

20:31

what are my daily quests? What are my weekly

20:33

quests? I'm gonna pick those all up and then

20:36

Without really thinking about them you just start Doing

20:40

them they eventually just get off and then usually near the

20:42

end of the day or the end of the week You're

20:44

like, oh, you're like I'm 75% of the way there on

20:46

this one Let me just finish this real quick before I

20:48

sign off for the day Good

20:50

seems good. The the bad thing

20:52

here would be the economy like how

20:55

expensive are things? like

20:57

why is this one 600 and this 130 and is

21:02

like the base minimum of Inviting

21:06

Jacques to the terrarium like

21:09

thousand so

21:13

That would be my little worry is the the economy

21:15

although like I do For

21:18

all the the issues in scarlet and

21:20

violet. I do think the economy of

21:22

that game is relatively good

21:24

I think that the

21:26

way you earn money the way you earn LP

21:29

the cost of things What

21:31

raids drop in? terms

21:34

of rewards I think I think the only thing that was

21:36

like Bad economy

21:38

was that the tarot shards But

21:41

like as a Pokemon player that was like

21:43

duh, of course the new thing was

21:45

going to be Harder to get

21:47

and of course the DLC would make it

21:49

easier to get which it did Yeah

21:53

Like that's just there. There's like cycle.

21:56

I'm just very like the thing

21:58

that stands out to me is take a photo

22:00

of wild Pokemon. The

22:03

battling stuff all seems like, you

22:05

figured that out. That seems easy for

22:07

that game to comprehend. Taking

22:09

the picture seems like, huh,

22:12

a little bit outside of our norm here.

22:14

I mean, yeah, you- I did that with the,

22:17

yeah, with the quest in Teal

22:19

Mask. You did, yeah, you did it, oh

22:21

gosh, I can't remember her name. The

22:25

Ursa Luna quest. You

22:27

did it with her, but I felt like in that

22:30

quest, you were not technically in the open world that

22:32

was Kid

22:35

Akami, you were in like an instance of

22:37

it. That's true. Yeah,

22:40

like I couldn't throw out my Pokemon, I

22:42

couldn't open my menu. It's

22:45

Perrin, Perrin. Yes. And

22:48

we haven't actually seen an equivalent pearl

22:52

descendant for this DLC,

22:54

which is curious. Yeah, because

22:56

she's like Adam in base.

22:59

Yeah, yeah. From Legends. The

23:01

ditto stuff, also cool, where

23:04

you'll have to like find the ditto.

23:06

Obviously, everyone remembers Isle of Armor

23:08

where you had to find the Diglett, which-

23:10

Yeah, boy, that was fun. And

23:13

then you had to like track down the tracks in

23:17

just a friendly reminder. If you catch

23:20

Tarakian, Cobalian, and

23:22

Virizian in the

23:25

Crown Tundra, and then you talk

23:27

to Sonya, you can then catch

23:29

a Kelbeo. I just wanna remind you all that Kelbeo

23:32

was in that game. Kelbeo's in the game. So

23:34

is Regigigas. Regigigas is also there,

23:37

yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a little

23:39

harder to get though. You

23:41

gotta get the Regis from the Dynamax

23:43

Adventure, then you gotta get the trade

23:46

over Regidrego, or Eliki. They're

23:50

saying that like, here's, I

23:53

feel like there's like this, every trailer

23:55

up to this point, or how they've talked

23:57

about this game, was very- every

24:00

battle focused. Here's

24:02

the Elite Four, everyone here's double battles.

24:05

Obviously something going on with Kieran and Carmine

24:07

that you gotta battle them a lot too because that's

24:09

what you did in the Teal Mask. Get a battle of them like

24:12

every four seconds, that's fine. This was

24:14

like, it feels like everything here is

24:16

like, here's a new thing. Also

24:19

you can do it with your friends. Here's another

24:21

new thing. Also you can do it with your

24:23

friends. Like I felt like

24:25

the Teal Mask didn't have any of that. And again, like

24:28

the Teal Mask was maybe, maybe

24:32

some things were cut, obviously

24:34

delayed. This DLC

24:37

seems very, very, very packed

24:40

with stuff compared to the Teal Mask. This

24:42

is definitely the grand finale of this game.

24:44

This feels like, okay, so we have a

24:46

year to fill with this game, so we're

24:48

gonna put all the things in and

24:52

the big last final thing. Which

24:55

I mean is appropriate. Like I

24:57

feel like Crown Tundra was like,

25:00

now you can do Dynamax to the

25:02

end of time trying to get all these legendaries

25:04

and we'll add things into Dynamax like Ultra Beasts,

25:06

et cetera. Like I feel like both the philosophies

25:08

and second ones, now we're gonna just give you

25:11

a ton of stuff to do to

25:13

keep you in this game until the

25:15

next one comes along. Like you

25:17

can't yell at us for not having something to

25:20

do. It does seem like there are gonna

25:22

be kind of a ton of things to do after

25:24

this, but we'll see how long they capture people for.

25:26

Yeah, I mean the question is like, yeah,

25:28

I have stuff to do, but is it worth

25:31

doing? That's always the balance that

25:33

they sometimes sort of leave out. Like

25:35

Dynamax Adventures were worth doing if

25:38

you really liked Shining, Hunting, and Shining Hunting

25:40

Legendaries. It was well worth, or

25:42

just you needed to fill out legendaries, that

25:44

was worth doing. I

25:47

actually think that even if you

25:49

didn't need the legends, I thought Dynamax Adventure was fun.

25:52

Yeah, that was fun. Well, it did

25:54

force you. It forced you to use Pokemon you would

25:56

normally never use. Yeah. I

25:58

mean, a lot of people were turned off by that. Like the

26:00

same way as people were turned off by the rental

26:03

Ones in all the battle frontiers when you

26:05

had to go into the rental fights

26:08

and you couldn't choose yet Like

26:10

this is the pick pick the one you're starting

26:12

with and add to your team and swap out like

26:14

oh people just like Well, I don't want

26:16

to learn these That's how

26:19

a lot of people feel about the raids in these games,

26:21

too It's yeah different parts of the

26:23

games for different people But I know a

26:25

lot of people enjoyed the Dynamax adventures

26:27

And I'm really hoping that

26:29

with the blueberry quests with the BBQs

26:33

It gives you a big bonus for completing

26:35

things with other people Because

26:37

they were kind of highlighting playing together

26:39

and co-op with the BBQs If

26:42

the BBQs were like you can only do

26:44

10 a day or something Do you get

26:46

more is like that the way to get

26:48

more is like oh you get way more points if you

26:50

do with a friend Or like I can help my friend

26:52

to do it and I can get 2,000 today instead of

26:54

1,000 today Mm-hmm.

26:57

I don't know playing with other people in this game

26:59

is real rough You know

27:01

I want to say it's better

27:03

in the terrarium When

27:05

I'm not trying to be I'm trying to be optimistic

27:07

here Maybe it's better in the trailer only because the

27:10

terrarium is not as big as paldea Like I know

27:12

that for sure as somebody who's been in the terrarium

27:14

already. It's not as big as paldea I do think

27:16

it's maybe the same size if not a little bit

27:18

bigger than the teal mask, but the teal mask I

27:20

think is Only like

27:22

one-fourth the size of paldea. It's

27:25

Obviously the teal mask is not bigger than paldea either Yeah,

27:29

I don't know. I've never had any issues with

27:31

co-op Maybe it's just because I've only done co-op

27:33

with one other person at a time other

27:36

than raids um Have

27:38

they have they not been

27:40

out an invisible boundary? No

27:43

that happens a lot it all

27:45

went super smoothly every time. I've done co-op with

27:47

a friend I don't know, but

27:49

I also had my game in the last week Freeze

27:53

for five minutes every time I went to a

27:55

loading screen so These

27:57

games are different RNG

28:00

and Pokemon, RNG. Good

28:03

old RNG. You can like share urbanmystica,

28:07

right? Like

28:09

if we both wanted to hunt Litwick and you

28:11

didn't have any urbanmystica, I'd be like come on

28:13

over, Hannah. We'll put some bananas

28:15

on, I'll put some strawberries on. Okay, now we

28:18

both have sparkling power level 3 and it's

28:22

just a better gameplay experience for you then

28:24

to leave my game. Mm-hmm.

28:26

Because when I did try to shiny out

28:28

with people in my own game, which on

28:30

paper that sounds like oh this should be

28:32

fun. Like what happens if we both see

28:34

the shiny? Like who gets to it first

28:36

kind of thing? You just because

28:39

the game is trying to process two people, you

28:42

just get less spawns. And so

28:44

like when I and then gosh forbid if

28:46

it rains all of a sudden and then and then everything

28:48

goes. So it was like

28:51

well, we both want to shiny and we're both

28:53

doing each other a disservice because we're both seeing

28:55

significantly less Pokemon on screen. So it's like just

28:58

go back to your own game and pick the

29:00

same area and walk around and yeah,

29:02

so maybe

29:05

this is better. Like maybe the terrarium is better

29:07

with the co-op stuff. You

29:09

know, surprisingly the co-op stuff does work.

29:11

It's just not optimized.

29:13

I don't know like it works. It just

29:15

isn't. I'm immensely curious

29:18

if the area zero stuff

29:20

will still have it so

29:22

that the other people

29:24

don't show up unless you trick the game into

29:26

making everybody appear. Oh, you mean

29:29

like we start a party outside of area zero, but

29:31

then we walk into area zero together? I

29:33

mean if you're in area zero together and

29:36

you all go by the same like if

29:38

you're all in the exact same rocket and somebody

29:41

calls a Pokemon over it will force everybody to

29:43

appear in everybody's game. Because the game

29:45

doesn't know how to target. So

29:47

it forces everyone so you can finally see

29:49

everybody in area zero. Still have no clue

29:52

if that's a bug, if that's a feature,

29:54

if that's how it's supposed to be, but

29:56

I mean people are like oh send

30:00

me a tweet like I fixed it we we we're

30:03

all in one area together and suddenly

30:05

all appeared I'm like yeah it's a known way

30:08

around not seeing everybody in

30:10

area zero but it's it

30:13

doesn't always work and

30:15

it's really hard to get

30:17

everybody in the exact same spot

30:19

for the game to force

30:22

everybody to appear it's wild

30:25

I think why the teal mask also seems like

30:28

lackluster in retrospect is

30:31

because it came out

30:33

later than it should have like

30:36

if if scarlet violet drops in November and

30:38

then the teal mask is supposed to come

30:40

out in June which is what it should

30:43

have came out like like there's no there's no

30:45

denying that the game based on a Japanese summer

30:47

festival did not come

30:49

out during the summer festivals in Japan six

30:53

months after it came out with like here's

30:55

a little bit more story here's a couple

30:57

new features that feels like oh okay that

30:59

makes sense and then a full year later

31:02

you're getting this bigger package yeah all of

31:04

that makes sense like when even when you

31:06

compare you know Sun and Moon to ultra

31:08

Sun ultra moon added

31:11

a lot of stuff to that game that's

31:13

why like I would always tell somebody to

31:15

get ultra over regular unless you only buy

31:17

Pokemon games for the story which I

31:20

encourage you to find other video games with other stories they're

31:22

out there I promise you but like like

31:26

this one made of

31:29

the story Sun and Moon is in the

31:31

top but it's not as good

31:33

as other area other games that focus on

31:35

it yes yeah yeah yeah it was just

31:37

like we've been spending $40 here $40 here

31:41

everything is better in ultra except

31:44

the story but except for the story everything else

31:46

is better you're just so many more things to

31:48

do you get all the ultra wormholes you

31:51

get the they did their own photo thing

31:53

in that game too you got you

31:55

got totem stickers you got the

31:57

man teen surf you got the

31:59

zaik guard stuff, you

32:02

got the battle tree This

32:07

DLC having all that stuff makes sense It's

32:10

just because the teal mask was pushed and

32:12

now it's was what like there's not even

32:14

two months between these two DLCs And

32:16

you're like, well, this one has

32:18

like kind of nothing. I Mean

32:21

it progresses the story But like feature

32:23

wise it really doesn't have that

32:25

much compared to what we're

32:27

what they showed off here, which Is

32:30

not a complaint. It's just like the timing

32:32

is unfortunate and it makes because of the

32:34

space It makes the one feel even worse

32:37

than it is Yes,

32:39

let's just talk about this real quick before we take a break

32:41

two more things After you talk with

32:43

your special coaches a few times they will offer to

32:45

trade you a Pokemon I don't know why they you

32:47

were the use coaches Yeah,

32:50

they're gym leaders, but do they come and coach you

32:52

about something? Well, that's what

32:54

it sounds like but what? Battling

32:58

is a very good battle angle. Yeah.

33:01

Yeah, I guess they're probably coaches here

33:03

to like help you battle I

33:06

guess and for some reason

33:08

the league of Paldea has their

33:10

gym leaders coming and helping with

33:12

the school. That's not in Paldea

33:16

This is a missed chance to be getting some of

33:18

them, you know the people over

33:21

in as teachers The

33:23

Pokemon they trade you will have a ribbon

33:25

appearing for the first time in the DLC

33:27

for scarlet and violet It's the partner ribbon

33:30

if you if you have a

33:32

Pokemon wear this ribbon It will bestow a

33:34

title containing the original name of the trainer

33:36

that was displayed When

33:38

sending into battle, so the example they show

33:41

is a Iona

33:43

is there I'm assuming you're

33:45

gonna have to use BP to invite her like

33:47

the previous segment said She

33:50

trades you a magnumite when you send it out

33:52

in battle. It says you it says like go

33:55

Iona's magnumite There

33:58

was rumors that there was one new A

34:00

ribbon added to this DLC

34:03

and obviously the Pokemon ribbon community

34:06

that is I think that exists.

34:08

I'm part of it. I'm sorry. Yep,

34:11

you sure are. They were very excited that there would

34:13

be a new ribbon that they could get. This

34:16

is not probably what they

34:18

wanted because it sounds like it's only

34:20

going to come from like gym leaders. Yeah,

34:22

it is neither an actual ribbon. It's a

34:25

mark and also or is it a ribbon?

34:27

I think it is a ribbon but like

34:29

not anything you could earn. Yeah,

34:31

it's not something you can earn. It's not something you

34:33

can put on a ribbon quest Pokemon. Yeah.

34:36

What's the last? I mean like

34:39

they've definitely had like distributions of

34:41

like maze, Piplup or whatever or

34:43

like Ash Greninja. But

34:46

like the last time that was like in game

34:48

that like you could go back to and access

34:50

anytime I think is ends Pokemon in Black 2,

34:52

White 2. Yeah.

34:56

He never gave them to you. You like found

34:58

them in the wild. You found them in the

35:00

wild. I

35:03

don't remember when you caught it. It still said it was ends Pokemon,

35:05

right? It didn't have your OT. Yeah. No,

35:08

you said it was ends. Yeah. I

35:10

feel like it there was an animation it did to signify

35:13

that it was ends. But it's been

35:15

so long since I caught his Pokemon that

35:17

I don't remember at all how that mechanic worked. Oh,

35:20

I don't know that I ever other than catching

35:23

them. I ever used them for anything. The

35:25

final thing here is throwing styles. If

35:27

you donate BP to the Blueberry Academy's

35:30

baseball club, you can change how

35:32

you throw your Pokeballs. There are many throwing styles

35:34

to learn from. Find

35:36

it your favorite to spice up battles. The

35:39

last time this existed was Ultra

35:41

Sun, Ultra Moon. I think I don't know if it

35:43

was in base Sun and Moon, but you would have

35:45

to talk to the trash. The

35:47

trash man. The trash

35:50

man. Which

35:52

was like, was that second

35:55

island? I thought it was

35:57

a third island. No, third island, third island. Because you had

35:59

to do. Yeah, because it's up around

36:01

the, it's around the Cantonian fake

36:03

gym in that city. Up

36:05

on the bluff and then he's being like,

36:08

my kid's gonna be a garbage holler just

36:10

like me and the kid's like, I don't

36:13

wanna. Yeah, I'm not sure

36:15

why they attached the throwing styles to

36:17

the trash man. This one

36:19

makes a little more sense attaching it to the

36:21

baseball club. But

36:23

this is cool. Now

36:25

when you watch competitive VGC every weekend,

36:27

you can really discern the

36:30

difference between the try hard players who

36:32

just buy the game, don't change

36:34

their outfits, don't do anything, just

36:37

somehow get these Pokemon over

36:39

into their game versus the people

36:41

who actually maybe did some of the story. As

36:46

a left-handed person, I am grateful that they

36:48

have the left-handed throw in there. I

36:51

didn't even notice that until you said it. Yeah.

36:54

Wait, it's always, I know a lot

36:56

of people who are very excited about

36:59

the left-handed thing.

37:03

Is it only one left-handed though? Is

37:05

everything else just probably right-handed? Probably, yeah.

37:07

Yeah. Which is unfortunate. I

37:09

would love to do any of the fancier

37:11

throws left-handed, but I don't think that's gonna

37:13

be an option. No, you can awkwardly

37:16

throw left-handed in one way and one

37:18

way only and that is it. How

37:23

dare you be left-handed in our video

37:25

game. How dare. Do

37:28

any of the gym leaders throw left-handed? I

37:31

know, they're right and proper and not. I

37:35

want to pay attention to that now.

37:37

The only video game character I know

37:39

is left-handed is Link in most games.

37:41

Yeah, most of them. In most Zelda games. Most

37:43

of them. But that's it.

37:45

My immersion, he was right-handed in one

37:48

version. Okay,

37:52

I think the Thuring style also cool. Like

37:54

no complaints here. I think it's cool. I think it

37:57

should just be default in every Pokemon game. But

37:59

you know what should- also be default in every

38:01

Pokemon game changing your outfit because

38:03

I don't want to wear school uniform

38:05

anymore. Jeez. But

38:08

that could that would have been a look that's all they need to

38:11

do in the teal mask. All they need to do in the teal

38:13

mask would have been like, you could take

38:15

your outfit off now. I mean, you

38:17

can like no, I mean,

38:19

like actually have like hoodies,

38:21

shirts, shorts, pants, not just

38:26

literally anything else. Oh,

38:29

I have found a Reddit post about left

38:31

handed gym leaders. Oh, so

38:34

apparently bead in sword

38:36

and shield is left handed. Oh, OK.

38:38

Hassel is apparently left handed. Nice.

38:40

In Scarlet and Violet. And

38:43

then people are like, so

38:45

Chantal is seen writing with her

38:47

left hand in Gen 5. Roxy

38:50

uses the lefty guitar. Emmet

38:54

is a lefty. And

38:56

Ingo. Oh, Ingo. I've

38:59

never heard of Emmet. It's always Ingo and Emmet.

39:02

Yeah, Emmet apparently

39:04

Zinnia at

39:06

the end of Oris is a

39:08

lefty. Elma

39:11

and Alola is a lefty

39:13

and two of the

39:15

re-quans squads are apparently. I love

39:17

this. That's way more than I

39:20

would have expected. Bead

39:22

and Alastair are wearing their

39:25

throwing glove in their left hand in

39:27

sword in sword and shield. And

39:30

both Hassel and Turo throw with their left

39:33

hands in Scarlet and Violet. Apparently,

39:35

if if Reddit is to be trusted, does I

39:37

have no reason why the in

39:40

particular this Reddit post would be a lie.

39:43

Could you imagine? I would just write down a bunch

39:46

of characters to be left handed. I

39:48

mean, as far as it seems to have done

39:50

their research, I can't. This is a YouTube comment.

39:53

Because somebody goes through and clip all

39:55

the lefties for Hannah and

39:57

then post them send them to Steve at a.

40:00

DM. Yeah, I trust the in-depth. How

40:03

many upvotes did they get? I

40:05

don't know. The

40:07

upvote count. All right. I

40:09

mean, where do you see that? Right.

40:12

I stopped using Reddit a while ago. Eight,

40:14

eight, apparently eight people in the world cared

40:17

about left handed trainers. I mean,

40:19

only 12 people look at the thing and crazy.

40:21

Do this. So of the

40:23

12 that looked at it, eight of

40:25

them were like, yeah, yeah,

40:27

this post has something going on. All

40:33

right. Well, let's take a break. When we

40:35

come back, we'll talk about the legendary Pokemon

40:37

returning. So we will be right

40:39

44:30

the episode. And

44:36

we are back from our break. No

44:39

surprise here, legendary Pokemon returning

44:42

in the second half of the

44:44

DLC. Don't worry, just like

44:46

Sword and Shield, there will be a

44:48

third DLC to complete the Pokedex. They'll

44:50

finally bring Beedrill, the Sword and

44:53

Shield that will sell copies, I'm sure.

44:57

I don't want to talk about how mad

45:00

I still am. Look, anything can

45:02

happen, I guess. Maybe there could be a third

45:04

DLC. I just... How do

45:06

you position a third DLC when this DLC is

45:09

like, the legends are here now?

45:11

Like, usually when they do legends, it's like, they're

45:13

done. Yeah. And this

45:16

is really seeming like the grand finale

45:18

to the story itself, too. Yeah.

45:21

I mean, look, everyone says that HeartGold,

45:23

SoulSilver and Gold and Silver are great because

45:25

you get to go to two regions. And

45:28

this game, you get to go to three.

45:30

So honestly, I think this is probably the

45:32

best Pokemon game they've ever made. You get

45:34

to go to Paldea, Kitakami and Unova. Yeah.

45:39

No one's competing with that. And you

45:41

can have BB keys. That's

45:43

true. After

45:46

completing the main story of the hidden treasure

45:48

of Area Zero, the Indigo Disc, trainers can

45:50

meet a curious character named Snacksworth at

45:52

the... What was that character in

45:55

X and Y? Mr. Feelings

45:57

or whatever? Do you guys remember that dude? Oh

46:01

Power, the Oh Power guy! He

46:03

just had a really weird name,

46:05

I can't remember what his name

46:07

was. It was something like that.

46:11

Snaxworth, the ridiculous name reminded me

46:14

of the other ridiculous names they've

46:16

used. Snaxworth at the

46:18

Blueberry Academy, by completing Blueberry Quest, BBQs,

46:20

and the Terrarium, trainers can earn Snax

46:22

from Snaxworth that will allow them to

46:25

encounter certain legendary Pokémon throughout the series

46:27

back in the Paldea region. He

46:30

also has extensive knowledge

46:32

about how these Pokémon with

46:34

trainers as

46:37

well as his own tales of encountering them. Uh,

46:40

Mr. Bonding. Bonding. It

46:44

was Mr. Bonding. That was a heck of a name

46:46

choice. Oh yeah. I

46:49

mean, get what

46:52

he said it was doing. You get

46:54

to bond with your Pokémon more.

46:57

Yeah, true. And you get to see

46:59

the origin of Mr. Bonding in Omega

47:01

Ruby Alpha Sapphire, which is like so

47:03

weird of all the characters they decided

47:05

to go back and give a huge

47:07

origin to, for no good reason. Like

47:09

why this character? They were pretty

47:11

cool. God, I like Oh Powers. Bring

47:13

him back. Bring back Oh Powers! Get him to

47:15

my com. Bring Oh Powers to Pokémon Go.

47:18

Bring Oh Powers to Pokémon Go, please. It's

47:20

a FaceTime distortion. No tragedy

47:22

in Pokémon wasn't the Dex

47:24

cut. No, no, no. It

47:26

was that Looker was cut. No

47:29

more Looker. Looker has been in a lot. But he

47:31

has not been in this game or the last game.

47:34

No, they're all second masters. They all got sucked into

47:36

the Ultra Wormhole. That was the last game Looker was

47:38

in. No, he's in Masters.

47:44

Yeah, but is he in Pokémon Shuffle? The

47:47

good game. That's not

47:50

a good game. Oh Shuffle is awesome. What

47:52

are you talking about? So bad. Okay,

47:54

so there's a lot to unravel here with the

47:56

legend stuff. Number

47:58

one, they... They showed not

48:00

every legend. They did not show the

48:03

Gen 4 legends. Well

48:06

look, no one's really like losing

48:09

any sleep over Mesperate as

48:11

Elphin Ooksey. No, no

48:13

one's losing any sleep over those.

48:15

How dare you? I love

48:17

all those weird things. Here's

48:19

why I brought up like why, maybe

48:22

there would be a third DLC. I don't think so. But

48:24

the thing that I saw on the internet was they

48:26

didn't show the Kalos legends.

48:30

And look, the Kalos people are desperate for anything

48:32

at this point, right? Like the

48:34

area on the map that existed,

48:36

the giant hole which they said

48:38

was Az's fault, Glamora being

48:41

similar to the flower cannon, name

48:43

a couple characters that have existed

48:45

that like every Pokemon game brings

48:48

up old regions. Like they're grasping

48:50

for straws at this point. Their

48:52

new straw that they're grasping is

48:54

they didn't show Xerneas, Yvital, and

48:56

Zygarde. They also didn't show

48:59

Mesperate as Elphin Ooksey, okay? They

49:02

also didn't show any of the Ultra Beasts. You

49:05

may have had like the world's smallest case

49:07

if those were the literally only three Pokemon

49:09

they didn't show. There was a lot of

49:12

legends they did not show. Yeah.

49:15

That being said, they also didn't show Dialgon

49:17

Palkia and then they were like, by

49:19

the way, at the very end, you can

49:21

now catch a Dialgon Palkia in raids. I

49:24

also saw a competitive person talk

49:27

about how broken

49:31

Xerneas and Yvital would be in

49:34

terrestrialization because of their

49:36

abilities. If

49:39

you don't know what they do, Dark

49:41

Aura will increase all Dark-type attacks on

49:44

the field by I think like 20

49:46

or 30% and then the same for Fairy Aura. We

49:51

already have a problem with Fluttermane

49:54

in competitive Pokemon. Can

49:56

you imagine a terrestalized

49:59

Fairy Phal flutterbane with a zurnia

50:01

standing next to her like

50:04

another 20% This is the universe I want to live

50:07

in. Give me

50:09

my big gay deer that ruins everybody's

50:11

lives. It's

50:14

interesting to think about of like, oh,

50:16

maybe this is actually the reason why

50:18

they're not here is because they're, they

50:20

would possibly break.

50:23

And now somebody could be like,

50:26

well, our sheep are already, our

50:28

infant is already worse than Zurnia.

50:30

Maybe, maybe. But

50:33

yeah, there, there was a lot of legends that show. No

50:36

clue if those legends would come

50:38

back or not. I do want to hear the, here's the

50:40

thing I want to say too, because

50:43

I like a lot of

50:45

people who listen to the show, I'm chronically online.

50:47

We're all chronically online. You're listening to a Pokemon

50:49

podcast. You were probably chronically online. That's fine. That's

50:51

not an insult. I am too. I

50:53

love the internet. We all do. You

50:56

read tweets or whatever that may

50:58

or may not come from sources

51:00

that just tweet everything possible. You

51:03

may have saw a tweet that only like

51:05

25 Pokemon are returning. You also

51:07

may have seen somebody who is very

51:09

good at figure out shiny hunting. Her

51:12

name is Nubus. Say there's

51:14

not a lot, like don't trust this tweet.

51:17

And literally we have now found out that

51:20

whether or not there are like 25 Pokemon

51:22

returning, they can just put any Pokemon

51:24

in raids. They did. It was the Al-Gid

51:29

Pokemon. They

51:32

could literally just put it into raids. Like

51:34

how, how can you say

51:36

there's only 25 Pokemon? If we're getting all the starters,

51:38

there have literally been 25 legends. Oh,

51:41

25 legends. Okay. But we know that's

51:43

not true because they announced all the

51:46

legends and all of the starters. That's

51:48

more than 25. Yeah. Yeah.

51:51

They said like, I think the tweet was like, not all the legends are coming

51:53

back. Only 25 exist. Which

51:56

may be true. There's only like 25

51:58

spots on the Paldea map. Because when

52:00

you watch the trailer, you're like, oh, Rayquaza

52:03

appears here, and Xerneas is

52:05

here, and Spectry is here, and

52:07

Kubfu is in the bamboo forest. There

52:10

is probably some validity to, there's 25 spaces

52:12

in Paldea where legends are going to appear.

52:15

But there are also a bunch of legends they didn't show, which

52:19

two of them now exist in raids as we

52:21

are talking about this show. And

52:24

who's to say Xerneas and Ivatel can't come back

52:27

in raids, right? Especially if they're

52:30

controlling seasons of competitive. If

52:32

they're saying regulation E, which

52:36

will allow meta-gross, it'll allow instant

52:38

aurora, that'll last a couple months.

52:42

And guess what? They can add

52:44

Xerneas in regulation H or whatever, right? They could

52:46

be like, okay, Xerneas is now in raids, starting

52:49

next month in regulation H, you

52:51

can use Xerneas. Like they can control

52:54

what Pokemon go in and out of this game.

52:56

So again, the reason I'm bringing this up is

52:58

like, one,

53:00

right off the bat, all the legends are not coming back.

53:02

But two, they've already given,

53:04

they've already shown us how they can

53:06

bring legends back through raid events. We're

53:09

all chronically online, that's fine. Just because

53:11

somebody tweeted something and it got a bunch of retweets doesn't

53:13

mean that person knows what they're talking about.

53:17

I mean, they

53:21

also aren't gonna show everything in a trailer.

53:23

Like, is that gonna go through every legendary

53:25

possible? We're gonna be there for seven years.

53:27

It's a teaser trailer. They're gonna pick the

53:29

ones that are gonna get people like, oh

53:32

hey, I need that or I

53:34

like that. Like they're gonna go off the

53:36

top 10 list and make sure they're seen.

53:38

I mean, look, there's already

53:40

a five minute trailer which is pushing

53:42

people's attention spans as it is. Man,

53:45

I actually thought it was like one of their best trailers

53:47

they've ever done. I thought it was really well done. It is a great

53:50

trailer. I also wanna say like, when

53:52

legends came out, people were like,

53:54

oh, I can't wait for the DLC. Like I wonder,

53:56

they're gonna add back Charizard. I was like,

53:58

if there is DLC, they should probably. had back Charizard, right?

54:01

Like Charizard would sell DLC. And

54:03

there wasn't paid DLC for Legends,

54:05

which everyone thought was gonna happen. There

54:07

was a free update, and I

54:09

don't want to get into the semantics

54:11

of like what is considered DLC versus what's an

54:14

update, was like there

54:16

was no paid DLC like there was for Sword and

54:18

Shield and Scarlet and Violet. They

54:21

did add some stuff, but it was just an update

54:23

to the game. They could

54:26

update those Legends in Kitakami.

54:29

There's no reason why

54:32

Mesperid, Azelf, and Uxie

54:34

can't like roam Kitakami. Like as

54:36

far as we know, according to this press release, all

54:40

the Legends they showed,

54:43

Cobalion, Tarakian, Rayquaza, Spectrier,

54:46

they're all only in Paldea.

54:49

So what I'm saying

54:51

is there's gonna be a third DLC.

54:53

We're going back to Kalos, baby. It's gonna be great.

54:55

No matter what I'm saying

54:57

is they could do a

54:59

Legends style update, have

55:02

it be free for everyone, and

55:04

then say like hey we're adding some

55:06

more Legends to Kitakami or

55:08

the Ultra Beasts will actually be... They

55:10

didn't show any Ultra Beasts. What

55:13

if the Ultra Beasts were in Kitakami? Like there are cool

55:15

things they could do with like a free or a small

55:17

update. I don't know what that

55:19

looks like, right? Like I don't... You know

55:21

again, everyone thought we were gonna pay get paid DLC

55:23

for Legends and on Pokemon Day they were just like

55:26

here's a free update that adds like

55:29

the smallest story in the

55:31

entire world and like you

55:33

can now like find a wild Zorark in outbreaks.

55:35

Like it was pretty tiny. Yeah.

55:39

Not that I'm complaining because it was free. If it was like five

55:41

bucks I don't think that would have been worth it. But

55:43

also if they were like hey if you you

55:45

want Mesperid, Azelf, and Uxie for five dollars I'd

55:47

be like I'd rather have the five dollars. Nah,

55:50

I'm good. I mean we just

55:52

don't know what else they're gonna add to raids. We don't know

55:54

what they're gonna add to the other parts of the game. Like... Yeah,

56:00

they clearly want to keep this alive as a

56:02

game. They're gonna keep doing raids. So we'll see

56:04

what happens there Yeah, they they

56:07

they clearly like raids. I for

56:09

the mechanic thing of Snacks

56:12

worth this is the thing that

56:14

I'm like Worried

56:16

about mm-hmm because

56:19

You can get every Legend from

56:21

gen 1 to gen 4 in BDSP right

56:24

if you want that as of uxian mess

56:26

spirit Yeah, I got news for you there

56:28

in that game But the problem

56:30

that I had personally is I

56:32

thought it was a bad way to get legends I

56:35

think the hallway similar the simulator

56:37

that was BDSP was not

56:39

particularly great And that's why I'm a little

56:41

bit worried about the synchro thing

56:44

or whatever Because like

56:47

when I say like what is this for I think

56:50

of the same way as the underground is like

56:52

What is the underground for like

56:54

to get Sun stones to get moon stones

56:57

to get like? It's not

56:59

a particularly fun way to get those stones when

57:01

like in every other Pokemon game I can just

57:03

walk into a store and buy them like I

57:05

don't think it's fun to like Run

57:07

like crack a hole in the wall to get

57:09

like a firestone to finally evolve like my only

57:12

fire Pokemon in the game Like

57:16

I think if gosh, I

57:18

can't remember the underground minigame had Actual

57:21

items that you would want like

57:23

I don't know experience candy XL

57:26

candy you would want to do

57:28

that more, but then the other thing that

57:30

they like they put the legendary Charts

57:33

or whatever in the walls and

57:36

so you went out that when you went down there, and you're

57:38

like I'm I gonna get a legendary shard nope. I'm just gonna

57:40

get another firestone Cool like

57:42

I have 40 fire stones And I

57:44

can summon one legendary Pokemon and then

57:46

going to the park to just

57:48

turn that on Didn't feel Great.

57:52

I never did it. I don't think I

57:55

ever found enough legendary Because

57:57

you were always fighting fire stones to do it

58:00

I was like, I am

58:02

so over this game. By the time I got

58:04

to the end game, I was so done with

58:06

that game, and then it's like, here's the extra

58:08

steps. I'm like, no.

58:10

If the BDSB accomplishes the one

58:12

thing that it set

58:14

out to do, which was to be

58:16

an incredibly grindy Pokemon game, everything about

58:19

that game, from leveling up to getting

58:21

items, to training your Pokemon, to getting

58:23

everything in that game was a grind.

58:25

And if that was what, that's how they should

58:27

have advertised it, honestly. If they would have been

58:30

like, hey, do you miss old Pokemon games, games

58:32

where you had to spend 40 hours

58:34

to level up? Here we go,

58:36

you get to do it again. Like, I don't wanna do that anymore. I

58:40

don't wanna spend 40 hours to level up. I

58:42

wanna spend, I wanna do like three seven star

58:44

raids with friends, and then boom, I got two

58:46

level 100 Pokemon from that, like 15 minutes I

58:48

spent. Like, that's what I want. I

58:51

don't need every Pokemon game to be the same.

58:53

Like, I don't need Ultra Wormholes to come back.

58:55

I like Ultra Wormholes, thought they were super fun.

58:58

I don't need Dynamax Adventure to come back. Love

59:01

Dynamax Adventure, thought it was fun. Like,

59:03

continue to innovate, continue to give me

59:05

new ways to get Pokemon. Cool with

59:07

that. I don't know if just like

59:10

giving Snackworth, like BP or whatever you're supposed to

59:12

give him, and then like going to a location

59:14

and finding it, like is more

59:16

interesting or more fun than like Dynamax Adventure. Maybe

59:19

some people will be like, I hate Dynamax Adventure,

59:21

just give me the legendary. Cool, I get that.

59:25

I'm just curious of like, what is

59:27

involved here? That isn't like,

59:29

you're gonna do the same thing 25 times,

59:34

and you just have to have enough

59:36

materials for 25 encounters, assuming that there's

59:38

25 encounters. We're just, I

59:41

didn't count exactly how many legendary showed up in

59:43

that trailer. Yeah,

59:45

it seems like a lot is hanging

59:48

on how interesting BBQs actually are. How

59:51

varied they are, how quick they can

59:53

go, how quickly you can save

59:55

up to encounter a single

59:57

legendary. Yep. Here's

59:59

a question. for the two of you. You're invited to

1:00:01

a BBQ. What are you bringing? Sprite.

1:00:08

Fairies? I don't know. I

1:00:11

think for me, if I was to like, if

1:00:13

they were like, you need to bring food, I would

1:00:15

probably bring macaroni. Okay.

1:00:18

But I feel like that's what everyone brings. Like

1:00:20

macaroni and cheese? Yeah, macaroni salad. No, just the

1:00:22

noodles. Uncooked. No,

1:00:24

yeah, macaroni and cheese. But

1:00:28

how are you keeping that warm? You

1:00:30

bring in a crock pot. Okay. You

1:00:33

just bring the barbecues in somebody's backyard. Yeah, they

1:00:35

have. And not like a park. That's

1:00:37

right. I'm

1:00:40

not putting those restrictions on or off this.

1:00:44

You bring in a crock pot. They

1:00:46

sell Pokemon crock pot over at box lunch, if you're

1:00:48

interested. Box lunch. Not the popcorn. Put

1:00:50

it in there. Watch the sticker

1:00:53

that they slapped on that pork crock pot

1:00:55

peel off after two uses. Just

1:00:57

a side note, every single YouTuber in the

1:00:59

universe is going to make a YouTube video

1:01:02

as fast as possible of all locations

1:01:04

of all these legendary Pokemon. Oh, 100%. I

1:01:08

got you. I'll make a text list so you don't have to watch

1:01:10

any of them. I'll

1:01:14

just, here it is on the map. I'm

1:01:16

just going to go to which pool always IGN

1:01:18

always has bizarro lists like that. But

1:01:21

two seconds after the game is launched. I don't

1:01:23

know how these people, I guess I do know how these people. Well,

1:01:25

usually there was a way to get Scarlet

1:01:28

Violet very early if you went to a

1:01:31

Mompas store. I don't think there's any way. There's

1:01:33

no way to get this DLC early. It's

1:01:35

restricted. So it'll be a big raid. That

1:01:37

was, I only say that because I remember when the

1:01:39

Isle of Armor came out and every

1:01:41

YouTube, like even if you weren't a YouTuber, you're

1:01:43

like, I need to

1:01:45

make a video on every Diglett location. Like

1:01:49

that was like the go-to. Like there are like makeup

1:01:51

bloggers out there like, I

1:01:55

got to do the Diglett thing. Everyone else is doing it. not

1:04:00

seven star raids. People

1:04:04

are struggling with this and I know there are probably people listening

1:04:06

to this being like, it was easy for me. Not

1:04:08

everyone is good at raids, it's

1:04:10

fine. I've accepted this. The

1:04:14

funniest thing is when I go to my

1:04:16

Twitter, my YouTube comments, it's always like, this

1:04:19

was the easiest raid ever and then the comment below

1:04:21

that was like, I can't do it.

1:04:23

Hardest raid ever. So, I

1:04:26

made a video about that, that's

1:04:28

on YouTube, if you're struggling, I've made

1:04:30

a video about what Pokemon you can use. You

1:04:32

probably already have a Pokemon that you can just

1:04:34

use, you just have to literally change two moves.

1:04:36

So, I did a YouTube video for that. They

1:04:39

did five star raids instead of seven

1:04:42

star, just a fun fact. There's

1:04:45

a lot of fun facts this episode. A five star

1:04:47

raid is level 75, a six star raid is level

1:04:49

90, which is deceiving

1:04:51

because when you catch it, it's not level

1:04:53

90, but when you're battling it, it is.

1:04:57

They just don't tell you raid levels at

1:04:59

all, which might be helpful to

1:05:01

the average Pokemon player, but

1:05:03

they don't tell you raid levels. Level

1:05:06

five is 75, level six is 90, level seven is 100. They

1:05:10

have really good, if these were level 100, they

1:05:14

have really good move sets and really good coverage.

1:05:18

The only thing that's really, quote unquote,

1:05:21

making them easy is you're bringing a

1:05:23

level 100 and they're level 75. If

1:05:28

they were stronger level wise,

1:05:32

they could do more damage and potentially put

1:05:35

pressure on, but I

1:05:37

don't have a problem with this. I think that's fine. They

1:05:39

just want you to catch a Dialga and a Palkia.

1:05:42

And I think Palkia is in

1:05:44

Violet and Dialga is in Scarlet. So in

1:05:46

order to get both, you'll have to connect

1:05:49

to the internet and join somebody else's, which

1:05:52

I'm going to go out on a limb and

1:05:54

say that this is not the last time they'll put

1:05:57

two legendaries in separate games and you'll have to do

1:05:59

a raid battle. for them. I'm probably

1:06:01

safe to say. My

1:06:04

toughest part of these raids was

1:06:06

actually getting into one. Yeah,

1:06:09

I, at one point, I'm

1:06:13

pretty sure I was

1:06:15

just clicking join for 15 solid minutes before I could get into

1:06:22

a raid, which I was like, y'all

1:06:27

better know what you're doing because I just waited 15 minutes

1:06:29

to get into this raid. And if

1:06:31

you mess this up, I,

1:06:35

I, I, I'm glad you said that because

1:06:38

just based off one statistic. So

1:06:41

take it, take this for what it's worth. My

1:06:43

Dialga and Palkia video has

1:06:45

done almost triple the amount of views as my

1:06:48

seven star Eevee video. And that was

1:06:50

out well before the seven star Eevee

1:06:53

raid. I just think that people love

1:06:55

legendary Pokemon and they're significantly more interested

1:06:57

in Dialga and Palkia

1:06:59

regardless of how hard or easy they are

1:07:01

compared to,

1:07:03

and just based off like

1:07:05

YouTube views alone, Greninja,

1:07:09

like Greninja, the best seven

1:07:11

star that wasn't a legendary.

1:07:13

And then obviously Mewtwo, like Mewtwo by

1:07:15

far better than, but

1:07:17

also people were like, I legit need help from

1:07:20

you. But

1:07:22

I just think like the reason you

1:07:24

probably struggled is because so many people just

1:07:26

like, I want, I want legendary Pokemon, which

1:07:29

is not surprising in the

1:07:31

marketing scheme of things of like, we're going to

1:07:33

put legendary Pokemon in DLC and then you're going

1:07:35

to spend $30 to get DLC because you want,

1:07:38

also they did this with starter Pokemon. Like it's,

1:07:40

yeah, I

1:07:43

didn't get them in luxury balls. I was like, I

1:07:45

gotta go get these things for like by eight millionth

1:07:47

time so I can have them

1:07:49

for sure in luxury balls. That

1:07:51

is my only end goal here. People like

1:07:53

legendary Pokemon. They

1:07:56

also announced another, they, they, Pokemon.

1:08:00

was like, hey, you got stuff to do this

1:08:02

weekend? No, you don't. You're gonna be playing

1:08:04

Pokemon this weekend. They also

1:08:06

announced a new mass outbreak event. This

1:08:08

is the third mass outbreak they've done,

1:08:10

but instead of boosting the mark

1:08:13

chance, they have boosted the shiny

1:08:15

chance, which is one

1:08:17

year later, technically

1:08:20

our first shiny event? I mean, you

1:08:22

could maybe say, gimme

1:08:24

ghoul. That

1:08:28

was mostly disappointing. Yeah.

1:08:31

To celebrate the Indigo Disc mass outbreak event,

1:08:33

they're featuring different Pokemon in the Paldea region.

1:08:36

Land a Kitakami and Terrarium at the Blueberry

1:08:38

Academy. It seems shiny Pokemon are more likely

1:08:40

to appear in these mass outbreaks. Paldea

1:08:43

will feature Flabebe. All

1:08:45

five of the flowers do rotate

1:08:47

every day. They do show up on the

1:08:50

map as the proper color. Kitakami

1:08:53

will feature Litwick and

1:08:56

the Blueberry Academy, which you cannot

1:08:58

access right now. As of listening to this episode, go away to

1:09:00

the 14th. We'll have Milcery.

1:09:04

We have no clue how to evolve Milcery yet.

1:09:06

Well, I'm assuming you can't spin in the game,

1:09:08

but the items,

1:09:11

we don't know how to get those yet. Anubis

1:09:14

said that it was a 0.5% chance to be shiny,

1:09:16

so that's a 1 in 200 chance. The

1:09:23

game is really weird in how that works. So

1:09:27

when you first encounter the Pokemon,

1:09:30

that's the 1 in 200. If

1:09:32

it fails to be shiny, then

1:09:34

it will roll your normal stuff.

1:09:36

So that's why I posted

1:09:38

a graphic about this. That's why when you see it, it

1:09:40

doesn't say 1 in 200. It says like 1 in 191

1:09:42

because you have to like do the first

1:09:45

roll and then the second roll. They're

1:09:47

like stacked together. It's just two rolls. I

1:09:50

guess technically that's how shiny hunting works anyways. Like a shiny

1:09:52

charm is plus 2. It's

1:09:55

just rolling it twice. It's

1:09:58

fine. This

1:10:00

means it's just relatively easier to get

1:10:03

a shiny Pokemon. So if

1:10:05

you want Litwick, you'll have to catch three of them if

1:10:07

you want the whole line. They do have Memento, so

1:10:11

you can bring a Pokemon that has, you should bring a Pokemon

1:10:13

that has Taunt, but

1:10:15

you could just bring Goldengo because you

1:10:17

can't Memento. Good as Gold. And

1:10:20

Litwick's catch rate is 35. So

1:10:23

if you want to do absolutely no work and you want

1:10:25

to be lazy like me, just bring Goldengo and just chuck

1:10:27

Pokeballs at it. That catch rate is super

1:10:29

good. You can't do anything else. Although

1:10:32

it should be 100% with a Quickball, but again, if you

1:10:35

want not a Quickball, Goldengo

1:10:37

or a Taunter is your best bet

1:10:40

on that. A Flabebe, there's five

1:10:42

versions of it. The white is the

1:10:44

rare one. So

1:10:46

if you want the whole line, you would need 15 Flabebe. And

1:10:50

then Milceree. Oh boy,

1:10:52

Milceree's complicated. There's... There's

1:10:56

a lot. There's a lot. I

1:11:00

believe there are seven different types

1:11:03

of sweets, but

1:11:05

there's nine different Milcerees. So

1:11:08

those two together are 63 Milcerees

1:11:11

total, which

1:11:13

I'm very proud that I have all of them. That was one

1:11:16

of my big tasks. My big tasks in Sword and Shield was

1:11:18

to get all of them. How

1:11:20

the Shiny works is weird. The Shiny

1:11:22

is always black no matter what flavor you

1:11:24

have. So if you have like Strawberry Swirl

1:11:27

or Caramel Swirl or Rainbow Sherbert, it's always

1:11:29

going to be black. The only difference is

1:11:31

the sweet. So technically,

1:11:33

there are seven Shiny

1:11:35

Milceree because there are seven

1:11:38

sweets. So in total, there are 70 Milcerees

1:11:41

because 63 are non-Shiny and

1:11:44

then seven are Shiny. But

1:11:48

they still would... The Shiny still would

1:11:50

be the flavor you

1:11:52

decided to mix. So you

1:11:54

could have a Strawberry Sweet Shiny

1:11:57

Milceree and then a Caramel. Strawberry,

1:12:00

shiny milsery, but they would they

1:12:02

would literally be the same. The

1:12:05

only way you would know they would be different would

1:12:07

be Pokemon home on the mobile

1:12:09

version because the switch version wouldn't

1:12:11

tell you they're different. I guess if you're

1:12:13

a completionist You

1:12:16

would get 63 shinies, but

1:12:18

you wouldn't be able to tell ever The

1:12:22

only thing that you can see is different is the sweet

1:12:24

and there's only seven sweets I don't know

1:12:26

keep did you do you in

1:12:28

that instance if you want to get six? I would be

1:12:31

impressed Yeah, so 63

1:12:33

milsery Plus

1:12:35

the seven shiny if you want to

1:12:37

do that when the DLC comes out, which

1:12:39

I think is both like cool and

1:12:42

Also bad at the same time like I want to

1:12:44

get the milsery, but I wanted to do the DLC You're

1:12:47

only giving me a week for the milsery. I Don't

1:12:50

know. It's fine It's cool

1:12:52

that they they did a shiny event It's

1:12:54

cool that all three areas have different Pokemon

1:12:57

that you can get I think this is

1:12:59

a really this if anything is a compelling

1:13:01

selling point of getting the DLC is like

1:13:04

these events. I Don't

1:13:06

know. It's always like you always like

1:13:08

hear people talk about how there's no post game and

1:13:10

scarlet and violet And I could kind of

1:13:12

see what they're saying but like

1:13:16

You don't like shiny hunting and you don't like battling

1:13:18

and you finish catching all the Pokemon What

1:13:21

what else do you want a battle tower? I guess

1:13:23

it's like more battling but also speaking about

1:13:26

our they didn't show about our here There's

1:13:28

no this one. It's a battle bush So

1:13:31

I don't know if there is about our

1:13:34

usually they they talk about that I

1:13:36

remember very distinctively them talking about the battle tree

1:13:38

and ultra Sun ultra moon and I

1:13:41

can confirm there are no towers in the dome

1:13:43

as somebody who has explored the dome There's no

1:13:45

secret hidden towers that they're not showing you in

1:13:48

the in the pre it was in the basement

1:13:51

They are. Oh the battle subway the

1:13:53

battle Subway under the

1:13:55

dome takes you back to you Nova because it

1:13:57

goes under the water Huh?

1:14:00

But where does Kalos come in, Greg? I

1:14:02

know we take the battle some way, too.

1:14:04

OK. Do you not

1:14:06

know of the English Underground Channel

1:14:08

that connects England and France by

1:14:10

a giant underwater tunnel? So of

1:14:13

course, the Blueberry Academy is on top of

1:14:15

that, and it takes you down to that tunnel

1:14:17

so you can go south

1:14:19

to France or north to England,

1:14:21

which means you go south to

1:14:23

Kalos or north to Galer, whatever

1:14:26

directions they are. Look, I don't know. There's a

1:14:28

tunnel. OK. Blueberry Academy is

1:14:30

in Nova. OK. They're

1:14:32

all in there. They're all flying together, Hannah.

1:14:34

Come on. Catch up. Catch

1:14:37

up. The network of trades underwater

1:14:39

is vast and far. Yeah,

1:14:42

you have shiny hunting. You

1:14:46

have battles. You have seven-star raids. I

1:14:50

feel like besides a

1:14:52

battle tower, you don't

1:14:55

have contests? Like, I don't know. People are

1:14:57

in a postgame. I don't know. If you're

1:15:00

watching on YouTube and you're upset about the

1:15:02

postgame stuff, what do you want? I

1:15:06

assume the most popular answer would be Battle

1:15:08

Frontier or

1:15:10

something of the sort, but I don't

1:15:12

know. That never, I don't know. I

1:15:14

guess for me, I just never got a

1:15:16

thrill out of battling NPCs. Like, even when

1:15:18

I went through the stuff

1:15:21

for Sword and Shield or

1:15:23

for Sun and Moon, I was just like, I

1:15:25

mean, this is the battle-focused school, and we

1:15:27

know they have a huge area

1:15:31

for battling. So there's still

1:15:33

very possibly something there. Yeah, yeah,

1:15:35

yeah. Where there are hard battles that you can

1:15:37

just keep doing. Yeah, I don't

1:15:39

know if you'll be able to rebattle the Elite Four,

1:15:41

if they'll be stronger a second time, or if you'll

1:15:45

be able to battle Hassel and I don't

1:15:47

remember the little girl's name. I

1:15:50

don't want to remember her name. Poppy?

1:15:52

Poppy, I think you know Poppy. Yeah, it is.

1:15:55

Don't know if you can battle her again. No

1:15:58

clue what the battle. That old

1:16:00

stuff would be but I I've

1:16:03

said it before I'll say it again. I like that.

1:16:05

They do the mass operates now. I like that they

1:16:07

do the raid events They did

1:16:10

two distributions. You can download a

1:16:13

dark cry Mystery gift

1:16:16

and then for some reason they were like shiny Lucario

1:16:18

and they made special art for it Not

1:16:21

a hundred percent sure Yeah

1:16:25

Yep, some people have speculated that it was

1:16:27

because the pal day a wins I didn't

1:16:29

I'm waiting till that season is done till I

1:16:31

watch it You haven't watched

1:16:33

his who is in snow. So don't even lie to

1:16:36

people. I watched path to the peak. I like that

1:16:40

Path people is really good. Yeah, that is good.

1:16:42

But so is his who is in snow Yeah,

1:16:45

three episodes a lot They also

1:16:47

announced that you'll be able to get a master ball

1:16:49

a master ball is not available yet It will be

1:16:51

available on the 14th when the DLC comes out I

1:16:54

you there will be no code for it You'll

1:16:56

just you'll just have to go to

1:16:59

connect via internet and then you should

1:17:01

be able to get the master ball as well

1:17:04

and then I think the final bit of news is They

1:17:08

showed a tree They

1:17:11

showed a yeah crystal tunnel a big sparkly

1:17:14

tree. They showed a crystal tunnel and a

1:17:16

big sparkling tree and It

1:17:18

gave me big Ultra

1:17:22

city vibes Do

1:17:24

you remember when they showed ultra cinema ultra moon and

1:17:26

they showed the ultra pop pop you? alter

1:17:29

the ultra town with the tower that you

1:17:31

climb and At the very

1:17:33

top of the tower is Necrozma, right? That's

1:17:35

where you fight the like level 70

1:17:38

Necrozma and a lot of people lost to it because

1:17:40

they were like why is this random Necrozma so high

1:17:42

level compared to everything else we've done But

1:17:45

in that do you guys remember it was just a hallway.

1:17:47

That's all it was. Yeah Before

1:17:50

it came out people were like Oh like a

1:17:52

brand new area. There's nothing to explore There's

1:17:55

no actual city. It was just a hallway I'm

1:17:58

very worried that the tree the tunnel is just

1:18:00

that like it's just a tunnel that opens up in

1:18:03

area zero you walk down at the trees at the

1:18:05

end and that's like the final battle. It

1:18:08

feels like it may be a little bit more than

1:18:11

just one battle but it might

1:18:13

be that. I

1:18:15

just don't know if there'd be like

1:18:17

a whole nother floor of area zero

1:18:19

to explore. The only

1:18:21

thing that makes me think that there might

1:18:24

be is the background with no wait because

1:18:26

joltic is in a being blueberry. Nevermind. Yeah

1:18:29

joltic is in the blueberry cave. The

1:18:31

fake charge stone cave. Yeah

1:18:37

so no it's probably just going to be a hallway but

1:18:40

it's going to be some real cool storyline. It's going

1:18:42

to be a really cute

1:18:44

hallway. Maybe you can get some good selfies in the hallway or

1:18:47

maybe you can't maybe it's just like a cutscene hallway

1:18:49

maybe you can't actually run down the hallway yourself I

1:18:51

don't know. If

1:18:53

it counts as inside in any way

1:18:56

you can't even use the camera. Oh

1:18:58

yeah. Can you not use the camera at

1:19:00

area zero? You

1:19:02

can in area zero but not when

1:19:05

you're inside buildings. For

1:19:07

some reason count the hallway as an inside

1:19:09

area because

1:19:11

you are going down below any part of

1:19:14

area zero you've been into before going deeper

1:19:16

than any explorers have ever been. Below

1:19:22

the basement. The zero lab. Yeah

1:19:25

there's a secret compartment that

1:19:29

you didn't see before. Sure.

1:19:32

I have theories. There is a door. There

1:19:40

is a door. They

1:19:42

did show starters in the trailer. I

1:19:45

said this in my YouTube preview.

1:19:48

There were no starters in the wild when I played.

1:19:52

I do think starters are good candidates for

1:19:54

mass outbreaks but I'm curious

1:19:56

of how much of the starter stuff

1:19:58

is tied to. BBQs. Yeah,

1:20:02

BBQs. Or maybe it could be tied

1:20:04

to the running around as a Pokemon

1:20:06

thing in some way. Run

1:20:10

around as a Squirtle to get

1:20:12

more Squirtles up. The starters

1:20:14

are rare because they only show up for other

1:20:16

Pokemon and they go and hide when people are

1:20:19

running around, that kind of thing. Yeah,

1:20:22

I don't know. But can you catch other

1:20:24

Pokemon when you are as a... I don't

1:20:26

think so. I don't know. I

1:20:31

don't know. Really weird? Questions.

1:20:34

Questions and questions. I think

1:20:36

that's everything for what

1:20:38

they showed without going

1:20:41

too deep into the story. But I'm sure

1:20:43

there are people that are frantically trying to

1:20:45

finish the teal mask this week. So I'll

1:20:47

let you experience that on your own. I will say it again. You

1:20:51

have to finish the teal mask to progress

1:20:53

the story. And

1:20:56

you have to finish the main game. You have to finish

1:20:58

both the main game. You have to get to credits and

1:21:00

you have to finish teal masks. You have to meet Edcure. You

1:21:02

have to get to Blueberry. I'm

1:21:05

assuming if you're listening to a Pokemon podcast, you've at least done

1:21:07

that part. But

1:21:10

if the starter stuff, if the legendary

1:21:12

stuff, if any of this stuff

1:21:14

is really appealing to you, you got

1:21:16

a week. You got less than a week, honestly, to

1:21:20

finish the

1:21:22

teal. And you can power through

1:21:25

the teal mask story pretty quickly. The Pal

1:21:28

Data story is very long. As

1:21:32

somebody who's done the Pal Data story three

1:21:35

and a half times, I

1:21:37

don't think it's bad. And

1:21:39

I think the first time I did it,

1:21:41

I felt so whirlwindy. Like

1:21:44

there's just so much to do. You're going everywhere.

1:21:46

You're seeing new Pokemon. You're seeing new characters. It

1:21:48

felt like it just flew by. Oh,

1:21:51

the second time you go through that, you're like, this

1:21:53

is a lot. Like eight gym leaders. It

1:21:55

does take a while. Totem

1:21:58

things, five teams. star,

1:22:02

it's big. And that's not

1:22:04

a complaint. It's not the best for a replay. It's really good

1:22:06

for a main first play. The

1:22:08

first time you're going through it, there's a lot there. But

1:22:11

in a replay, it

1:22:13

is big. I'm excited for the DLC. It

1:22:16

comes out maybe Wednesday

1:22:18

night in the US, Thursday

1:22:21

for everyone they say, but when they say

1:22:23

everyone, they mean Japan. Yeah.

1:22:27

So that being said, I will

1:22:29

be streaming it on Twitch. Regardless

1:22:32

of if it comes out Wednesday morning or Wednesday

1:22:35

night because Japan has

1:22:38

time zones, I will still be starting

1:22:40

on Thursday at around noon Central time.

1:22:44

And I'll be streaming the DLC. That

1:22:46

way if it does come out on Wednesday night, you guys can

1:22:49

play it and then come to my stream and then

1:22:51

be like, I'm three hours ahead of you and be

1:22:53

like, perfect. I'm going to catch Milsory for the next

1:22:55

four hours. So continue to be ahead of me. So

1:22:58

I know people want to watch stuff, but they

1:23:00

also don't want to be spoiled. So

1:23:02

that's why it doesn't matter if it comes out on

1:23:04

Wednesday night. I'll be starting on Thursday at 12 o'clock.

1:23:08

Unless for some reason, it comes

1:23:10

out at a weird time. Who knows? Yeah.

1:23:13

Who knows? But

1:23:16

that's the plan going

1:23:18

forward. I haven't got anything else. You

1:23:20

guys got anything before we wrap up? Quick

1:23:22

Unite thing. Mios Gerada can

1:23:24

be gotten for free. You

1:23:27

do have to do a bunch of

1:23:30

win games with X type

1:23:32

of character. I have tested

1:23:34

this. You can do that

1:23:36

in the solo challenge, seemingly on

1:23:38

any level and it counts. So

1:23:41

if you just want to collect your pedals, just

1:23:43

do the solo challenge, go on

1:23:46

like intermediate. They're easy. It's

1:23:48

just a bot match. The

1:23:50

only issue is they are

1:23:53

really extending out how

1:23:55

to get enough pedals to get

1:23:57

the license for free. I

1:24:00

completed everything and I don't get the

1:24:02

next set of tasks for another three

1:24:04

days. So there is one

1:24:06

where you have to log in consecutive days but

1:24:09

if you want to wait until next week

1:24:11

when more of the things are available so you

1:24:13

get more of them done, you

1:24:15

can do that. But

1:24:18

yeah, I have confirmed that you can

1:24:20

win games in the Soto challenge

1:24:22

and it does count as completions

1:24:25

for the Meowscorda license game

1:24:28

to get the license for free. Meowscorda,

1:24:32

fine, not game

1:24:35

breaking, not stellar. What's its Unite

1:24:37

ability? It

1:24:39

has a very strange Unite ability in

1:24:42

the fact that you point in a

1:24:44

direction. It's kind of like

1:24:46

Cramorant where it's got a big

1:24:49

whirlwind of leaves around it. And

1:24:52

so Meowscorda walks very slowly in

1:24:55

whatever direction you've pointed. You

1:24:57

can eject button forward to

1:25:00

catch people if they start running away.

1:25:04

But you are just on the sort of

1:25:06

slow path and everybody's in it gets caught.

1:25:11

And it's damaging them or pulling them in? It's

1:25:13

damaging though. But it doesn't pull

1:25:15

them in. I think it also slows them a

1:25:17

little. But again, it's the same problem where people

1:25:20

just eject out. There's so many ways to get

1:25:22

out of things. But eject button does work. So

1:25:24

if they eject out, you can eject forward while

1:25:26

still going and get them. What

1:25:30

if you put her on a Lapras? I

1:25:32

have not seen anybody do that yet. The

1:25:34

problem is that she

1:25:37

walks while doing the Unite. So

1:25:39

I do think you would walk off

1:25:41

Lapras and

1:25:44

fall behind. I haven't seen anybody do it

1:25:47

recently. It's not been

1:25:49

a lot of fun people on the back of Lapras in

1:25:52

any of my games recently. Oh,

1:25:54

another weird thing they changed. You

1:25:57

can't drop ranks anymore. It's the

1:25:59

same. So if you

1:26:01

get to Ultra, even if

1:26:04

you fail in Ultra 5,

1:26:06

you are in Ultra seemingly permanently.

1:26:08

So you can't drop down to

1:26:10

Veteran. I haven't seen it

1:26:12

listed in any of their stuff, but

1:26:14

everybody who's been playing the game is

1:26:16

like, once I've gotten to

1:26:18

Ultra and I've dropped, should have dropped

1:26:21

back into Veteran, I've stayed in Ultra

1:26:23

class like you used to in Masters.

1:26:26

This is both a blessing and a

1:26:28

curse because there are people that should

1:26:30

be dropping lower who are

1:26:32

stuck in Ultra. So Ultra matches

1:26:34

get real dicey sometimes because

1:26:37

you just aren't filtering out people who

1:26:41

probably should be lower. I

1:26:44

think overall it is a better experience because

1:26:46

it's super frustrating to be forced down into

1:26:48

Veteran and then fight your way back up

1:26:50

to Ultra than all the way back up.

1:26:53

Well I think it's a positive change, but

1:26:56

just be aware that some

1:26:58

of your low level Ultra matches get

1:27:01

real dicey. There's

1:27:04

some real people who do not know what they're doing

1:27:06

right now. That's the same with

1:27:08

anything. I hit Masters today pretty

1:27:11

quick. It's probably the fastest I've gotten to

1:27:13

Masters in the game. So

1:27:15

I think the game's a good place. If

1:27:18

you want to know what the most OP character is

1:27:20

right now, Mimikyu. Mimikyu

1:27:22

is by far way overpowered.

1:27:27

Play Rough is just a nightmare to deal

1:27:29

with. But

1:27:31

yeah, if you want

1:27:33

to just get Mioskara, go ahead and

1:27:35

do the solo queue stuff. The solo queue

1:27:38

stuff is fun. I mean it's just a

1:27:40

bot match against Cynthia.

1:27:43

Cynthia. Cynthia is

1:27:46

the leader. And if

1:27:48

you do all of the solo stuff, you get

1:27:50

Cynthia's outfit. They brought it back this time. So

1:27:52

you can dress yourself up like Cynthia if you

1:27:54

want. Awesome. Hannah,

1:27:56

you got anything? Nope. I'm

1:27:59

all good. All right, just highly

1:28:02

anticipating I

1:28:05

took Friday off. I'll be playing

1:28:07

it on Friday. So don't talk to me about it.

1:28:09

I'm playing it on Friday Okay.

1:28:11

Well, we'll be we will be back

1:28:14

next week I'm

1:28:18

assuming though For for

1:28:20

those that play slowly like myself

1:28:23

available, they're probably no story stuff next week

1:28:26

because I'm sure

1:28:28

people will be catching mysteries or becoming

1:28:30

a Cramorant or becoming you know, a Regigigas

1:28:33

Actually, I don't think Regigigas is allowed

1:28:35

in the game But becoming whatever

1:28:37

Pokemon you want to be be whatever Pokemon

1:28:39

you want to be Be

1:28:41

that Arakuto if you want. No one wants to

1:28:43

be that Arakuto, but you could you could be

1:28:45

that Arakuto That could be you you

1:28:48

could be the first person in the world that

1:28:50

transforms into an Arakuto. Think about it We'll

1:28:53

be back next week. Thank you, Greg Oh
