Who's your favorite Pokemon is
0:02
easy? Everyone's favorite
0:04
is Bulbasaur. Nobody likes any other Pokemon,
0:06
that's wrong. I
0:08
mean, it's fine for you. your Pokemon. But
0:10
yeah.
0:39
Minor probably far fetched, it changes,
0:42
but today it's far fetched. His
0:44
evolution is so no ice I do
0:46
not approve of the evolution, think it's
0:48
only about base level far fetched.
0:51
You don't you're saying. Let's
0:53
just get it out there, you don't believe in out, correct? The
0:56
second you to say that do not believe
0:58
in pokemon him since not want
1:00
that none of them on come on come on a real
1:02
now why we're going to cut this into political
1:05
ad for me so.
1:07
much of little out about i also comes
1:10
into the uses think that flintstones was real
1:12
and of people have fun with dinosaur looked at
1:14
the only way to move a car in my opinion
1:16
is with your feet if you move it anywhere else
1:18
it's bullshit less how it works now youssef
1:21
on the gas pedal and than their little
1:23
people feed underneath the car that's true
1:25
farfetched is great because He,
1:29
he carries around leak, as everyone
1:31
probably knows he's got this leeway any
1:33
sort of marched around with it's the reason he carries
1:35
around the league is because when he's killed
1:37
and eaten now he's made into his yeah soup.
1:40
That uses the league, but honestly,
1:43
that is an Alpha move to be
1:45
like now daughter or I'm gonna fucking
1:47

6:58
I was like, at the end of the latter was
7:00
like, ask, cause to the name,
7:03
yeah, really does not, it is not a very good
7:05
to call become legend. I was looking
7:08
for, like the other, put one Legend's games.
7:10
That would require them to put him, Bonkers,
7:12
they a lights on Cygnus
7:15
franchise. Yeah,
7:18
just call it pokemon Legend" and us nano nimoy
7:20
mention it as a specific growl right
7:22
right, right?
7:23
Yes they didn't call the first one star
7:26
wars retribution the anatomy it had a subtitles
7:28
cause star wars that have her outside on Orbach
7:31
Marcy finding that does not
7:33
appear more. importantly though they didn't
7:35
call it star wars cold Read
7:37
out or it was stories.
7:40
Colin.
7:41
Great ammo, I don't wanna bes as the
7:43
a check, but they called it "Star Wars", new
7:45
hope was like the name people says using. Later
7:48
on or yeah they added that I
7:50
deserve yeah turns out on
7:53
a this shit plant limited are out
7:55
there limited allows this is
7:57
pretty fun yeah it's fun of
8:00
The concept of this one is. What
8:02
if we made it kind of like?
8:05
Like to have, am I want to try really hard,
8:07
lumpy just as knowledgeable about once
8:09
and certainly have my time as the amounts
8:11
of? It's just. Maybe
8:14
it feels like making it all.
8:17
More kinetic. The alien
8:19
roar, yeah. Like it when you're
8:21
walking around this open world, you
8:23
see the pokemon it's not like a random encounter
8:26
and. Rather than
8:28
have to like get into sort
8:30
of like. The old
8:32
mechanical fight with the pokemon every
8:35
single time in way that source to feel wrote really
8:37
quickly. You have the opportunity
8:40
just like. The
8:42
margin of night on on.
8:44
Yeah. I can live on from the tall grass
8:47
and, you know, what it feels glass
8:49
yep this, but what does even on here my bug
8:51
on the back of head with A? Book Box and of encounter
8:54
he writes the same as taught me: "I don't think
8:56
even wrap my head around how
8:58
much of a drag pair I write some
9:00
people really. Really like a them for Griffin, it's while
9:03
I then you haven't been listening to rewrite
9:05
back of our, but didn't make
9:07
me realize how much for drag
9:09
the pokemon battle. System is.
9:13
Such, mean, it's easy, it's here
9:15
a little bit of secondary. That
9:17
having it totally deemphasize is
9:19
like such major. The
9:22
enthusiasm improvement for me in pokemon
9:24
games that I don't know that can go back.
9:28
Then. Daily, it really is like that
9:30
it's funny, like it's fun, and
9:32
it actually has the effect of making
9:34
the battles when you decide
9:36
to be idle right because the way. This research
9:39
system works messy other big, plus you're
9:41
constantly sort of progressing in way
9:43
that like has also perplexing look I had
9:45
a full team of pokemon I don't know, pokemon.
9:47
I'm no types that well try to have, like, a diversified
9:50
team, but once I got to that point
9:52
was exactly sure what should be like working towards
9:54
and. This game has his research goals
9:57
for. narrowed reasons that wasn't going to second the like
10:00
There's really a little light, bad narratively sentences
10:02
began is fine but the narrative reasons are no
10:05
bueno sisters are there.
10:07
to reasons that
10:09
Makes. Each encounter like you,
10:11
you need to capture certain number these pokemon
10:14
to fill up your like research chart, you need
10:16
to fight certain number these pokemon you
10:18
need to see them. Use different moves, whatever,
10:20
like pokemon, only focuses it kinda
10:24
number peals to me like a what
10:27
if you put together, pokemon see. pokemon
10:29
go and normal the L. A. poke, come on.
10:32
Yeah, there there. Lit
10:35
made of what you don't have bad near the reason Toxin
10:37
speak on us well I also wanted to point
10:39
out in one more comparison that think
10:41
works is how. come
10:43
on let's go the put one that go because young
10:46
of my let's go easy which were a
10:49
A remake of pokemon Red" and
10:51
"Blue" White using
10:54
sort of the pokemon go.
10:56
The mechanics of just like throwing a ball
10:58
Arab attitude and have enough be
11:00
at that have an ip the way you cop oh come on and
11:03
put them on battles were still proper battles
11:06
and I think that this time it takes a lot
11:08
from that as well because of how.
11:10
You are offered choice between, you know,
11:12
being stealthy and see up and using your
11:14
items correctly and wisely.
11:17
And just taking out a pokemon and one poke
11:20
ball vs. you know you get caught
11:22
in the like advocate years my level.
11:26
Then. Rapid actually just gonna tear this it apart anyway
11:28
for the not only just move one
11:30
pokemon like you can catch like fuckin'for
11:33
for in a row, it's yours, yeah,
11:35
you might. And record book even throw poker
11:37
ball and before that poke while his like locked
11:40
and whether to success or failure, you can
11:42
have three or four other book mon oh
11:44
by. The way either it's be all your pokemon the
11:46
experience when you catch that have another pokemon
11:48
that way, yes, so that disaster
11:51
if fantastic that has been in since
11:53
I wanna. Say, like X and Y'are
11:55
are getting experience for getting Beaumont
11:57
that is, that is, in my opinion, mechanics.
12:00
The beginning the bad thing that they have done because then
12:02
it's artist you're, just warming
12:04
you know battles and shit was his slow
12:06
and boring you can just
12:09
had to sit and a pokemon level up your guys it that
12:11
way anyway. the narrative
12:13
is ah Delivered
12:16
via are. Even at like
12:18
Max detects the. What
12:21
I would like.
12:22
Generally, call like interminable cut
12:25
scenes that are I'd skip of all and the first
12:27
two or three hours of the game are interested
12:29
to know office logs that AH
12:32
that's his and think it's really
12:34
bring any time that you were taken. The
12:36
action it is.
12:39
Road or but it's a your,
12:41
your beard transported into the path of pokemon
12:44
in what i believe is the synergies
12:46
images were dominant pearl to place
12:48
ah and sit back to sort of
12:50
feudal japan inspired times
12:53
ah and What fascinating
12:56
about the like setting
12:58
in the story and everything that I don't necessarily
13:00
think they capitalized on just because don't?
13:03
In. His it's like people are fucking
13:05
terrified of pokemon, yeah, we were like
13:07
Lib Dem monster has fire on him,
13:09
he's a fucking so great
13:11
it's really smart, it's really glades,
13:13
especially. If you're trying to bring new people these
13:16
people feel about Hug one the weather I feel my pokemon
13:18
relate to these people, yeah, likewise, duck
13:21
have Montana's an. African or you're right,
13:23
it's terrible about him, for you know, get
13:25
him audio hots very reliable because
13:28
when you play any other pokemon game and
13:30
the all the. Book minor like the same, you know, few pixels
13:32
high or whatever.
13:34
Gifford experience when you crestor Cliff's
13:36
Edge and you come across what's the giant
13:39
horse that's on fire rabbit
13:41
that evolution a pony time. Rapid
13:43
as feminine.
13:44
Rapid as the I saw a rapid as for the percent
13:47
and, i was The jet like.
13:49
I'm gonna get killed if
13:51
I approached the same and that's a cool
13:53
feeling to play pokemon gym be like, oh
13:56
yeah, this is scary.
13:58
Yeah, yeah, they tried to do.
14:00
It. With a sword and shield, they
14:02
had those like open adventure areas
14:04
where you'd see the most minor, but you'd
14:06
still like once you got close them, it just
14:08
like engaged in. A normal pokemon battle
14:10
but having them like physically there
14:13
and light some could actually interact
14:15
when attack you and attack you may
14:17
have had to use that ever really ah.
14:20
They're me there is a lot to talk about in this game
14:22
and I want me to that we like have time to talk about it
14:24
all. The
14:26
reason I said that the narrative, such as bad
14:28
as dislike. The resides
14:30
edited the narrative, such as "bad as dislike",
14:33
it has that concept that is so cool,
14:36
and it like kind of betrays it
14:38
constantly even.
14:41
Like. An effort to tell a story about
14:43
these are these rival clans that feel different ways
14:45
about the gods of the world and
14:49
this little kid is like this
14:51
big book. A man's baby sitter and
14:53
your go talk to him for a long time, but how is the best
14:55
they could poke months and then you're gonna go
14:57
and make special? Ball
14:59
that you throw their boss both one hundred ties
15:02
and you beat it in boss fight and
15:04
that's not.
15:05
That that none of that has anything to do with
15:07
the cool thing about this story, which is like it's the
15:09
past and these people there are no like gym
15:12
badges to collect, be out like
15:14
a lot of people.
15:16
Don't know what to do with these things,
15:18
it's while they a media, my biggest problem
15:21
with not my biggest problem. There's not
15:23
proud pokemon for me but. It
15:25
is so off putting. "The
15:27
get into game and it is like this
15:29
whole world of poke bother, they expect that you
15:31
already know everything about" And also
15:34
it's like the same sort of like rigid structure
15:36
the been set up. For for developing
15:38
that and light. This. Game could
15:40
be like dislike people out there
15:42
on the frontier", like trying to get
15:45
by and figure out what's going on Pogo on
15:47
and they immediately just start loading it don't.
15:49
Bullshit right like they just immediately
15:52
start loading, don't cross that nobody cares
15:54
about like I know that it's exhausting
15:56
that am not like the
15:58
biggest hug months. The fan here, but I'll
16:01
defend it in that.
16:03
One with the not knowing takamine I
16:05
actually like the way the game response
16:07
to that because you are it's was,
16:09
it is a tie. That. The
16:11
title nine, Excel, yeah,
16:13
we're it's like you fell through portal and you don't know why
16:15
you're here, and ah
16:18
and throughout like regular the people are
16:20
like. Hades you know this
16:22
and zero times as yeah definitely
16:25
obviously haven't planned Bug Month since I was a kid
16:27
and then they like named pokemon that's not Red
16:30
and. Blue I'm like oh
16:32
no I don't know what the hell is as I. can about
16:35
ah i'm ah so ah
16:37
like that i also didn't mind the story too much
16:39
once got past the first two hours agree
16:42
it could be way better they could do
16:45
much cooler things with this premise but
16:47
like in the grand history of pokemon
16:49
storytelling don't find it like
16:51
any worse than like any other
16:53
oh come on you know a quarter or this
16:56
is where it really bought this is where i get irritated
16:58
about right like
16:59
Do you think you were talking about that are that
17:01
are good right, the setting is actually a good
17:03
idea if, like, cool that to erase
17:06
the structure to start fresh, that's cool, armed
17:08
of the gameplay? There's
17:11
so much more fun to me personally,
17:14
then utters about one game's but it's
17:16
like. You can't shake the feeling
17:18
early, so I couldn't that. They got they
17:21
got to that point and. They
17:23
just are like, "Well, that's enough why we've
17:26
done enough aeration" To
17:28
justify this thing resistance and
17:31
pokemon games. There's an outsider,
17:34
it feel like pokemon games are allowed
17:36
to skate by. With a lot
17:38
less sort of like investment.
17:41
In the production are, yeah, I
17:43
was gonna, yeah, yet, but with them
17:46
like other game like eat like
17:48
even what you're saying plant like where it's like,
17:50
"Well, it's know" Worse than like.
17:52
They're pokemon, I'm like why why,
17:55
if you're like he just feels like they
17:57
try, they did some stuff and.
18:00
It was like all head is a good direction, but
18:02
then it's like. Not taking
18:05
that last step towards, like, yeah, we should make
18:07
this comparable to other can aims. That
18:09
are that are currently in production getting wrong
18:11
I will say like a won't be same lines and
18:13
the specter of Abreast. of about with some
18:16
it up so i think it's fair comparison The
18:18
around the world, Sonia. Like
18:20
it's sucks, it's so. Like
18:23
you see, a cliff that is literally not
18:25
even cliff, vague
18:27
mount like of mound of dirt. That
18:30
you can not like. The clamber
18:32
up my three Europe. Then. Get
18:34
out, but you can't it was you go down over there
18:36
to the bridge that they made you
18:38
can't just like walk around the have been rather do, do
18:40
I mean? This is like it's the end, it's so
18:42
boy, yeah, mean, that's the frustrating
18:45
thing about this think is the core is extremely,
18:47
extremely good at the that the. Minutes
18:49
a minute.
18:51
It seems like for all pokemon
18:53
games and this is only one of the examples
18:56
sit there has been this weird lag,
18:58
were Nintendo has like push the boundaries
19:00
in other ways, but specifically for pokemon
19:02
games and pokemon company games. Their
19:05
engines have always been like kind of behind.
19:08
And, ah, you know, that this open
19:10
world engine feel like I've
19:13
seen not far off from like what a veto
19:15
could pause like quite honestly, that's where
19:17
they are, I'm so you put
19:19
that side by side by lot of by against
19:22
Brother the Wild and it's little
19:24
bit. The embarrassing. An
19:26
unfortunate and it makes me want them
19:28
to just hire company that has
19:30
ever made and open world. And
19:33
just have them made his and then
19:35
keep all the pokemon thought that fine, but.
19:38
The all you don't know this engine cannot
19:40
pull this off that also must remember
19:43
this isn't mean nintendo publishes
19:45
it now you're right game freak is not
19:48
an internal studio that is her. You
19:50
know, name favorite, the I mean it is,
19:52
but also think that, like, pokemon
19:54
and Nintendo, or you know, think Nintendo
19:57
and pokemon can be hold these things
19:59
it's. That high esteem and they
20:01
treat them like so loftily, but
20:04
they do not get the sort of love that such
20:06
he lost the lehigh. And
20:08
product get. Like they just don't
20:10
feel like AAA titles in that way. Which
20:13
is hundred.
20:15
With regards to getting around the open world, I will say
20:17
just a pro tip him pretty early
20:19
on. In the game
20:22
you get amount.
20:24
That lonesome at some pretty dope like Princess
20:26
Mana, no case it and
20:28
usage just hurry to that point.
20:30
Okay, okay, help me with as he gets better,
20:32
is it says? Okay,
20:35
if it's the was the first sort of like.
20:38
That. I don't know divine pokemon
20:41
that you me, yeah, he's like
20:43
it looks like Hillary right him, and then never,
20:45
and then is that yes, right, missed
20:48
some. ezra is right actors and a right after
20:50
that, okay, well, it depends on, I guess,
20:52
how much doodle and around you do out in open
20:54
world, but it's fairly soon as. Just as a zoo learn.
20:58
It is so I don't play franchise for
21:00
ever and have played most.
21:03
of them as finished most of them And
21:06
it's hard for me to even know like.
21:08
What what it takes to make
21:10
a good poker my games is because they released
21:13
two or three of I'm year at this point
21:15
and.
21:16
They do it or eight so slowly
21:19
and so tight well as he took the, you
21:21
know?
21:22
If you took some of the cool ideas here in pokemon
21:24
Legends (RCS) and you been at it with
21:26
like the huge poker decks of the.
21:30
Sun. And Moon and you took this nice
21:32
of that and that this insipid story
21:34
of black to and white to Whitworth joke,
21:36
by the way, the story of those games if you.
21:38
Didn't play it was a maybe it's not good
21:40
that we capture and make pokemon fight each
21:42
other since Ah Bow vow
21:44
as though ah it's just it's
21:47
just that. I couldn't help
21:49
but feel like if this game and had another
21:51
year of like dedicated development
21:54
to at a lot of these ideas
21:56
like the core mechanics of playing game
21:58
and this story for him. In the performance
22:01
than the. The, you know,
22:03
basic graphical fidelity, which
22:05
I would say leave something to be desired. That
22:08
could have been improved and think this
22:10
would have been a really fucking late game
22:12
at all those to really fun
22:15
game in short spurts that is just
22:18
kind of on. The principal,
22:20
like me, that they have changed up
22:22
this ancient formula this much is
22:24
here, here's my counterpoint to this idea
22:26
of another year.
22:27
The a game freak that developers
22:30
have him they released the game and twenty six seem
22:32
to and twenty seventeen, two and twenty
22:34
eighteen, three and twenty nineteen,
22:37
and then they took three years off.
22:39
Like the first time ever. The made
22:41
this. The like it in
22:43
terms of taking time focusing
22:46
isn't one project this like it
22:48
the most vega every or
22:50
the diamond. and pearl
22:52
that came out
22:54
Three months ago was a different team,
22:56
yeah, I mean, agree
23:00
with all this are older and is that
23:02
it.
23:03
More time would have made this may be more time when
23:05
I'm a disdain better, but at the end of day like in A.
23:07
Then it is obvious some of the places where they could
23:09
have improved, a few took pokemon not
23:11
to be put finer Boehner, but if he
23:13
took pokemon out of as and it
23:16
was the exact same gameplay, but without pokemon
23:19
We did, he said, he, he said, "No, no, it
23:21
will it mean hey have you to this exact
23:23
same game the exact same thing and
23:25
you took power come on out of it
23:27
It would be Justin and at mice
23:29
game of the year how combines he
23:31
went on, it's know I'm not I'm
23:33
i'm like i'm only barely joking yes
23:36
he the game itself, the world are you saying
23:38
is such a light. You. Know, like, sad
23:41
or puppy with broken leg
23:43
of like, "Hey, this really interesting idea,
23:45
this feels really fun, there's
23:47
like lot of rough edges and
23:49
I. Guarantee it would have been in the game that
23:51
just I would be like the sending probably a little
23:54
more than it deserves.
23:56
Hello, or other reader's biggest, that's it that's one
23:58
of the biggest earner departures in. The know gym
24:00
badges right and so the way that you.
24:03
I regret to the game is by or
24:05
mean stars which
24:07
are just earned by
24:10
doing pokemon research. And
24:12
what mean, like each pokemon has a poker dex
24:14
entry, the poke at X is a fucking book
24:16
as it's feudal Japan ah,
24:18
and instead of that entry
24:20
being filled out the moment that you touch pokemon.
24:24
There. Are like objectives, so it's I catch
24:26
this many pokemon of this type without being
24:28
seen or battle
24:30
this pokemon so many times or
24:33
see this book of on use this move. And
24:35
you could see that one by catching the pokemon and making use
24:37
that move yourself or
24:40
be no cats have a big version
24:42
of this book months and by accomplishing
24:45
those. Objectives was have like different. The
24:47
years of completeness
24:50
ah you earn you are in these good boy
24:52
stars biscuit boy stickers that let
24:54
you move, on to new areas
24:56
and unlock new. a crafting
24:58
recipes this crafting in the game that is
25:00
About his bare bones is it could be is so because crafting
25:03
in a video game.
25:04
Um, and so that sounds really,
25:07
a yeah, you get crafting kit.
25:10
The new and like. The like now
25:12
you can make potions and book balls when
25:14
are you want to know my school?
25:17
It is literally like.
25:19
Nine button and,
25:22
year it's like it's so it's
25:24
so while like it's like you have to really
25:26
dig through that i've like the menus
25:28
and you i are like really quite bad
25:31
i'm in this game was constantly
25:34
pushing the wrong Then.
25:37
Button. To open up the thing that I wanted
25:39
to look at little, I'm like really weirdly
25:41
unintuitive places I'd
25:43
thought that was all really when you witnessed
25:45
the weird thing is the. Crafting it looks
25:48
like and just any other item
25:50
and your menu, and then it opens the crafting
25:53
menu, which, like, "vert as if we we've all
25:55
been playing dying light to" And,
25:57
that game has a like jessica
25:59
That you that you go to? Pick
26:02
a thing you want and it makes it yeah.
26:05
but i know think that's how suggests a difference
26:08
and tendency of game design the flip side of that
26:10
is i think the dying light thing is on the flight little
26:12
on the nose but here's a remote site
26:15
If they never make another norm
26:17
quote, a normal pokemon game. Fine
26:19
by me. Just
26:22
did raid on this, I'm highly flammable.
26:24
The fans would be so mad I know they'd
26:26
be another area spot.
26:28
Sorry, that's what it's kind of feels like I don't
26:30
know it's like I'd do feel like the
26:32
voice acting thing is like know
26:34
that it's not traditional impact one and maybe
26:37
it does play into this but.
26:41
Then again, I don't make video games, don't know
26:43
how to make a video game this is completely
26:46
just like my impression as really playing it,
26:48
but as me aware of the this districts
26:50
it feels like. You
26:53
know, Laurence fishburne says to the.
26:55
To max in searching for Bobby
26:57
Fisher, you're playing not to lose
26:59
Max, you have to risk losing you
27:01
have to risk everything you for you.
27:06
That is what it feels like to me is
27:08
like they want to evolve it,
27:10
but they know that, like. The
27:12
any? variants
27:15
from what people expect.
27:17
Will come under, yeah, that's intense scrutiny
27:19
that it's probably easier just to like.
27:22
Then. A little bit more iterative, yeah, why does
27:24
have they don't listen up, Ah C'mon Sans on
27:27
this one, I hope that the main series exist
27:29
for all the neuroses of like?
27:32
Hardcore pokemon fans and mean,
27:34
by that seriously, hope they have joyce,
27:36
ah, but this game's my
27:38
biggest who is this day would be that
27:41
if you like the. Sports pokemon crowd
27:44
is like, you know, at the see his knees better combat.
27:47
Comment. I'll look at the point of this game
27:49
at all you could add it: I'm not saying the I'm not saying
27:51
don't clean it up, I'm just saying like
27:54
don't need. All this, you know, we got a balance it
27:56
this way in that way because you're
27:58
the five hundred people who play. The competitively
28:00
need the game redesigned for them. I
28:03
play. Certain shield.
28:05
That a fairly high level and idea
28:07
that is some of the most into pokemon I've ever been
28:09
so I do think that there is a place for that in here as
28:11
much as I enjoyed like going around the world and catching
28:14
pokemon a case in. another
28:16
pokemon games Okay.
28:19
Then. A building consequential, like when I was
28:21
hatched when would catch up, oh, come on, it's like
28:24
a short burst satisfying like thing like,
28:26
okay, but mob that's cool,
28:28
but it. Didn't feel like, oh, shit like I
28:30
have, have this anchor for my
28:33
team now, like can't believe call. This.
28:35
Bug Amanda has, like, a pretty rare, like
28:37
chance to appear in the first place, ah,
28:40
because when that happens in like corbeau, my game, you like
28:42
fuck, yeah, like I. Just got over our hump
28:45
because of this new pokemon I'm on my team and
28:47
I think you can have both of those
28:49
another you have to separate. them into their own.
28:52
Things right like of pokemon sword and shield
28:55
if those open areas had literally just been like
28:57
this game. Then it would be
29:00
fucking great that will be an incredible,
29:02
like Fusion, all wanted, the ideals
29:05
books are going all want to do. The
29:07
air. Harbaugh, up a store like
29:10
Valley and where it like hat.
29:12
Okay. I shouldn't have partial announced is
29:14
this the, did if the
29:17
dissented me it feels like this isn't
29:19
a perfect metaphor for many reasons but it feels
29:21
like the distinction. Between men and Blitz
29:23
right where Madden people
29:26
want that like it or it is how
29:28
what's the small changes because the very impactful
29:30
if you're playing at high level and. Blitzer,
29:33
like I don't know it's as a little bit more fun,
29:35
inaccessible, it's sorta like that
29:37
except of Blitz began with
29:40
glowing light without voiceover
29:42
that was like I am. The God of Well,
29:45
let me walk you, will my God want to play that game
29:47
so bad take it's I'm the got a football
29:49
take this cell phone that I'm? A text you
29:51
on. hans the i will
29:54
hit you on your mobile will hit you on your moby
29:56
you're gonna be sick of my god
29:58
ass Like a, hey. Though did
30:00
you try using an or and berries, yeah,
30:03
God, thank you, thank
30:05
God they do to your guys are paralyzed,
30:07
uses it's just so berries bags,
30:10
God, I appreciate that no problem
30:12
as you are.
30:13
You, uh, you, you guys confused, you might
30:16
hit himself thank you, God, I appreciate,
30:18
help is always. That you various
30:20
online. In other subs
30:22
it is like grew to.
30:25
Your hobbies like battles that are forced
30:27
sometimes in and it's like.
30:30
You know, if you want to do this thing,
30:32
you gotta get past me and my pokemon
30:35
is like. Okay and.
30:37
so far i'm like on oh no
30:41
A few quite a few of these I've encountered
30:43
and every time the person has one pokemon
30:46
and. i have six or don't
30:48
know what their plan is less
30:50
will never bring down my squads like ice six
30:53
on what it's costing about this isn't even
30:56
in the and in the neighborhood of us and
30:58
then if you do it it's like we do that like
31:00
why did we have to do that and it's a great
31:02
point that again kind of like
31:05
Makes. away from the can see of what they
31:07
are going for this gamer tag, we're afraid
31:09
of these pokemon know he knows what the fuck they are doing
31:11
that this whole team. Trying to figure out what pokemon
31:14
are and how would you ten and is a poker ball families
31:16
by fucker's constraints and you the put
31:18
them in popup only level up? What's this is
31:20
crazy and only ten minutes later like
31:22
Battle Me Why? Why
31:25
did?
31:26
The would give a new type of animal appeared
31:28
as new, you know? The
31:30
Kingdom of Of Beings
31:33
appeared on this planet, our like holy
31:35
shit, what's going on and right, we learn
31:37
to communicate with them and some is like I
31:39
can. What hit him and date
31:41
we worked together as a team to accomplish things
31:44
and I'm like superhero and then they walk
31:46
down the street some he was like Battle Me,
31:48
you know what of what are you talking about
31:52
we? just found these high paid
31:54
all this is interesting and the goods and the bad
31:56
but here's the fact about this game you can stand
31:59
on the top of mt
32:00
Then and see a geo dude in the valley
32:02
and then you can just sniper with poke ball and
32:04
collected. Well, it
32:06
rule he's good.
32:08
Key key: go to fight disappears after I understand
32:10
December logos are pretty far as
32:12
a foreign.
32:13
Even I don't get it twisted out there's much
32:15
of this is it is not font like you are going to,
32:18
you're going to have to push for a while if
32:20
you're a, you know, it is.
32:22
I'm even as a regular seaside or was
32:24
earliest like I was glad that played
32:27
it is nice but, it's a
32:29
new and a. little sorry one more
32:31
thing one more thing The music
32:33
in this game me all. Then.
32:37
Very, very, very good of habit
32:39
of wait, no. It is,
32:41
it's not very much of it I felt like.
32:44
Like there's a light as lot of like which was
32:46
wrestling out the open world, it feels like and on.
32:49
My Karbala and there's a huge part
32:51
of can we haven't talked about yet amount of you're trying to move
32:53
on.
32:54
Oh, I am trying to move on, but please go
32:56
ahead, think that there's a big saints to
32:58
the battle system that is worth addressing,
33:00
and that is that.
33:02
The game is not broken down into
33:04
even turns like it's not like
33:07
every other Vogel my game where each.
33:09
turn each pokemon gets go and moment of
33:11
that oil i get it get us so in this
33:13
game If your brother my like much
33:15
faster than the other one, you could attack
33:18
multiple times in a row and viceroy
33:20
so ah and to.
33:22
In. Intensify that new thing is,
33:24
you can once you of mastered a move which
33:26
whole nother thing moves are the way you learn
33:29
and change moves, and all that
33:31
is different. In this game, you
33:33
can do strong version
33:35
of that move that is slower, but hits bit
33:37
harder or and agile version of that move
33:39
that is weaker but. You can get in faster and
33:41
if you use those A, you know,
33:44
if you use agile style moves,
33:46
you might end up hitting them few times
33:48
in row A. Which
33:50
is, it's on paper sounds like.
33:53
Who cares like that's not that
33:55
big a deal, but for book month, that is huge deal
33:57
because while they have added things
33:59
like? You know, the want to fight or
34:02
the, you know, mega evolutions or whatever,
34:04
and like this is, this is pretty
34:06
foundation old stuff that they are.
34:10
Like disrupting with as and I I'm
34:12
really did enjoy that, and
34:14
it is why wish that there was a little
34:16
bit more of hard core sort
34:18
of ah battling.
34:21
The thing and again I'm not reach the endgame it's I
34:23
hear has a bit more of that kind of stuff
34:26
but. yeah that was huge thing that i would encourage
34:29
Like a data about my needs is not stuff
34:31
on top of the stuff it's already there in needs. They
34:34
need to scrap some shit and completely
34:37
change the bones of it.
34:39
The way let's take a break and the more
34:41
come back and talk about some other games.
34:48

36:03
let me give you the just of blue land they,
36:06
send you these very cool, clear
36:08
plastic bottles but
36:11
the idea is. That you or constantly
36:13
using these same bottles over and over again
36:16
using these tablets that they also send you
36:18
so that basically you don't have to constantly
36:21
buy new plastic bottles. Which is obviously
36:23
terrible for the environment. i've
36:25
been using it and it's been great because
36:27
it saves so much space in my house
36:30
where i can just have the stack of tablets
36:32
that sort of set under the sink and then when
36:34
run out of hand soap are dishwashing
36:36
detergent whatever just grab new tablet
36:39
without having to go to store
36:41
by new bottle something by new
36:43
plastic whatever it is that's terrible
36:46
for the environment here everything sort
36:48
of right there and case and reusing

about pokemon
38:49
And and we'd love to hear yours, we asked
38:51
you for your thoughts and questions.
38:54
Now. It was do it plant was up what's
38:56
going on will have a nurse up first and I'm sure
38:58
we've answered this question at some point the decade
39:00
we should answer it. Again, for new
39:02
listeners from I dare and I've
39:04
never played a pokemon game other than pokemon
39:07
Go, which game do you guys think would be
39:09
the most fun way to start?
39:12
The Earth. It's really
39:14
sad. I mean, it either,
39:17
probably.
39:18
Let's go either right or
39:20
the I mean, want to set that it's
39:22
simplest, would say,
39:25
Ah?
39:26
You know, Sword and Shield might not be a bad place to start
39:28
because it is one of the newer games that looks pretty
39:30
good, it has some and had some cool sit
39:32
in it. A movie or
39:34
kicked him out the nintendo ds still, if you find
39:37
a used copy of heart, golden soul silver, what should be pretty
39:39
easy to getting that's like eighty bucks or something
39:41
now, ah, that's like my favorite one.
39:44
Yeah, sorry, I forgot what the question
39:46
was you're asking me or my favorite book not going to start
39:48
or is accessible, it's there's
39:51
not enough bogged down by a lot of.
39:53
History and stuff, yeah, Sky, the this
39:55
game for me felt like what I
39:57
remember it felt like playing the original
39:59
post. Mine when was a kid like I, I
40:02
ke as RCS. The
40:04
old like. Oh, come on, a
40:06
my the soldier brain. That
40:08
seems like good place to start.
40:11
Next up from Mo, what is
40:13
your least favorite pokemon I
40:15
don't mean mild annoyance like finding of the do,
40:18
but pure rage love
40:20
the do for what it's worth, really
40:22
not produce?
40:24
Even? Though you have to do like really
40:27
strong for where you find the do like I
40:29
the Griffin goes immediately to like whether they're mad
40:31
or not, but just like. The like Fall
40:34
know is that your secrets as chord with
40:36
how to write and people are like like,
40:39
to tunnel Lovell DLC on that retired
40:41
time and to eradicate. With hyper fangs ah
40:44
cynicism, going to trash anything
40:46
like not typed against it in on
40:48
a mean
40:50
So what's your least favorite hooker for the
40:52
mean? They're all.
40:56
Love in God's eyes I don't understand the question
40:58
have a certain how you don't like about one
41:00
plus there are some legendary that
41:02
I really dislike don't know what generation
41:05
their from but remember trying to catch the pokemon go
41:08
ah. what arrow one of the
41:10
most i kind of like a horse thing in there was
41:12
like four of them And
41:14
then there was like I'm I Big Genie guy
41:16
and, like a cloud, remove the wedding
41:18
there is I think how to go off the rails passing
41:21
with the likes of them, unless as a evolve,
41:23
yeah, I think that's all that's interesting.
41:26
Yeah, like the cute, the interesting the.
41:29
I think the worst instincts think
41:32
don't like gumi just because
41:34
of his name of his clan, gotta add cement's
41:36
com boom and he is some
41:39
feel like.
41:40
Why don't you might think Justin I ever
41:43
so, he describes basing our my extended amount
41:45
of time some a pokemon is sinking stress?
41:50
So the next one is from Art Nod rude,
41:53
Jada, do you
41:55
think poet of mine and what'a just and just say
41:58
Dude, yeah, to that. When a.
42:01
jinx conjure please
42:03
Do glad okay good
42:05
you do, you think,
42:08
I'm glad we stopped for that extra context
42:10
that really, uh I wanted to look at pictures
42:12
of jinks to make myself angry and I'm
42:15
that's just make yourself make. yourself make
42:17
yourself make yourself
42:20
Nope. Nope, nope, nope and blackface don't
42:22
like a bad book by the Sky Hands
42:25
hate it ever gone hand stores few
42:27
years, poker mine too dissimilar
42:29
to final fantasy and dragon. Quest in our little
42:32
away from regular turn based game place,
42:34
I thought that and that's what this game
42:36
would be initially, thought was going to get some action
42:38
game. Any here right because you can
42:40
move around ah in
42:43
that dry, bad omen that is a very big
42:45
that's like.
42:47
You can walk around the fight was happening and
42:49
that shouldn't bit it feels come like. The
42:52
able to. Do something
42:54
while the screensavers are eternally in Miami
42:57
of the click, something it's like, oh, I know I'm not
42:59
doing anything but like Ellie something's happening
43:01
while did a slight, it helps.
43:03
I feel like you can never fully get away from this
43:05
because animating hundreds
43:07
of individual characters plus other
43:09
news is just like. At
43:12
a big ask.
43:14
Sorry but now really they've got they've done
43:16
pugmire eating actual Greer games do it
43:18
all the sound like. a generic
43:20
last for like every caught or physical
43:23
attack The I
43:25
mean, a the animated all this stuff, so it
43:27
wouldn't be that hard. I
43:29
need him.
43:31
The I make video games as,
43:33
or us as accidentally my hands while
43:35
the spot the pack as the going on so it's fine
43:38
Okay, don't aim, don't.
43:40
Then I don't think they need to do anything huge
43:42
like that, just think they need to make a.
43:46
The'and and like an online pokemon like some sort
43:48
of. The Games as service,
43:50
but London it is a into that to take the aside
43:52
from pokemon Go, we act is the and out
43:54
does not scratch the mechanical it's that
43:56
I want like people have been asking for that for so
43:59
long and it's fucking.
44:00
Longer they haven't tried to make a at at.
44:02
this on some drew why hasn't
44:05
there been pokemon car racer and would it
44:07
be died or of whip ass it would definitely
44:09
be dud Mine
44:11
are given us games, the did they hit rate
44:14
is. Not so
44:16
high.
44:17
There are I mean this is a pokemon spinoff game
44:19
and also ah my
44:22
spinoff. game they both are absolutely i
44:24
wish had the right now this is not a pokemon
44:27
spinoff game easy you don't you don't spend
44:29
three years making new version
44:31
and pokemon with the main studio that's
44:33
honest than asking i'm talking about out it's only
44:35
as minister made on john
44:37
You know what I mean Mike Yeah sure he
44:39
a game freak said you know what we're going to take three
44:41
years off and we're just going to make about my car
44:44
racer than sure maybe different
44:46
story but my feeling is that they would be like
44:48
we're. gonna find some like formal
44:51
Former I'd in mobile studio and
44:54
have them, you know, make this, I agree
44:56
that would probably be very bad, but
44:58
you know everyone's mothers a did it on racing that's
45:00
pretty good. You or eight
45:02
that Sonic sorry I was racing
45:05
game is like are the best car racing gamers
45:07
sound yeah this of article or is it nice,
45:10

45:15
The or program on trading card game, not like

45:19
service that when just want to be like the gameboy
45:21

45:24
The next question is from Joey Salami
45:26
and I'm just kind of serious with the name jelly
45:28
Salami" on Twitter, if he asks
45:30
V&S this question for every topic,
45:33
his question: "How are their question is
45:35
which pokemon do you think would taste the
45:37
best?" We not answer this question

49:08
In an attic for Nice Save
49:10
the World, if I get a set up, no, I'm going to get there
49:12
are many other world is games that was
49:14
so eclipsed by its spinoffs,
49:17
they had to add another name to
49:19
it because you wouldn't because
49:21
people didn't know what your dog'a so.
49:24
The I've been playing normal fortnight
49:26
that everyone plays the Battle Royale for night and
49:28
I've been really enjoying it. That
49:30
I remembered many years ago that
49:32
purchase. The original
49:35
like Save the World that Bundle because
49:37
are now is covering it or something and.
49:39
so i had it and then heard from
49:41
someone that within that You

can harm level up
49:47
your that will pass in
49:49
normal fortnight and also earned
49:51
V box in that. One
49:53
or v box the read like a cry
49:56
killing of I skins and stuff in. You
49:58
know more important, go. Oh, and.
50:01
Anyway basically set up a very complex
50:03
automated tool that runs for two hours
50:05
and general his see Fox and experience
50:08
for me and. i just as it once
50:10
and it is goes Getting
50:13
there I took a while so
50:15
I wouldn't recommend it by a margin
50:17
annoying it is so much electricity
50:19
is the I go there are basically
50:21
crypto mining my way through for
50:24
diseases like. we're
50:26
reducing or other so called The
50:28
guys we got.
50:30
Exciting announcement we got were doing enough
50:32
t suits never mind specific
50:36
we, could do it that way just as like every
50:38
week this week this week troy baker and
50:40
team seventeen fuck up so bad since
50:42
and a totally don't have to buy they
50:44
did it anyway because they like that picture
50:46
that monkey they go make i'm one hundred
50:48
thousand dollars That's
50:51
wild rice, but I'm so proud of you, thank
50:53
you.
50:54
Hook, he, I wanna hear about this game because
50:56
I've been watching streams of this is
50:58
good. just play it.
51:02
Yeah, I'm a like I'm well no no, it's
51:04
as if you know that it's like, oh, I'm like
51:06
eating lunch and I'm like I
51:08
am a curious what this new thing is that all the kids
51:11
eleven, okay?
51:12
Vampires survivors is a
51:15
ah just rogue like.
51:19
Similar to, if you'd imagine like dual
51:21
six shooter without the second stack.
51:24
It's really that control is just walking
51:27
around.
51:28
The and what happens is you already
51:30
have found by.
51:32
Judy around the you are attacked by
51:34
waves of enemies that
51:36
increase in both,
51:38
number and ferocity, and
51:41
you get. different
51:44
weapons That are automatically
51:47
lake firing or
51:49
activating or whatever. The help you find
51:51
the monster like and it's very basic level. When
51:54
you start out with a whip and the whip just
51:56
fires every on second or
51:58
so. And you want our rain? yourself to
52:00
the whip is going to damage the
52:02
the. creatures that are coming for
52:04
you arm and then
52:07
after that you might get I'm Bible
52:09
that like spins around you and attacks enemies
52:11
or you may get magic wand
52:14
that targets the nearest
52:16
enemy at for you and
52:18
then as you continue to kill monsters and level
52:20
up. You get like choice
52:23
between three different power up
52:25
so that can be new ability or can be like leveling
52:27
up one of your current abilities a.
52:29
and the game is really about like making
52:31
sure that like
52:34
finding bill that will help you
52:36
and like working concerts
52:38
A. With your other powers, so like, you
52:40
can get garlic that provides this sort
52:43
of like damaging aura around you
52:45
a and then long range thing like
52:48
magic wand. Or whatever, and you
52:51
know those two or them working together, you can get
52:53
stuff distance, or get stuff
52:55
close to you, then there's like lots of other.
52:57
Increase abilities, there's different increase,
53:00
your speed, increase your health, increase
53:02
your shields, whatever. And
53:05
then when you die on run
53:07
and eventually the runs get the screen gets. So
53:10
incredibly dense with enemies that
53:12
it's really more about like
53:15
managing. crowd and finding openings
53:17
in it read get little room to smart
53:20
Yeah, it's like it ideal them as
53:22
you must work.
53:24
Now that show, up for a people
53:26
who might not be familiar with that term is like those
53:28
arms judy I'd
53:31
Japanese often shooters real
53:33
like little ship if delegate is
53:35
like notice mouth but you can picture
53:37
it. is hundred bullets
53:40
Right, you guys, is yeah, within the whole point
53:42
is that lead bullets have patterns and
53:44
once you are in the patterns you can actually navigate
53:47
like wall of bullets, then at your
53:49
local what hell games for al
53:51
yeah, and that that's how like this. Not
53:54
and, and like, whenever I watch advanced
53:56
players, people to zigzagging
53:58
through the patterns of. The ways.
54:01
And it feels great like when you can you
54:03
know get a you're about to die then
54:05
you find treasure chest that like suddenly.
54:07
makes you overwhelmingly powerful for little
54:10
bit and just gives you enough room to keep you
54:12
run going it feels like great
54:15
In. The game is about, like, how long you can,
54:17
you can last there's tons
54:19
between that achievements you get gold
54:21
in between runs that lets you power
54:24
up and like your. Individual
54:26
like speed or refresh
54:28
time on weapons or whatever and then you can unlock
54:30
other characters that each feel
54:32
really different have different starting weapon and.
54:35
it looks very
54:39
Retro, I guess family, we know that
54:41
know it's bits, sprites, sprites
54:44
doing their thing, but it's a great
54:46
is, so it means like I will say this is.
54:49
painfully addictive it is like it is one of
54:51
those where you're finished a ten minute run by and
54:54
squeeze, on and one real quick. ah
54:56
or like you're about to record the best easy i can
54:59
proudly my laptop here just bang out of could run
55:01
one time a bug mana distortion but the
55:03
temptation they have ample his It's really,
55:06
really good. It's great, it's great. If
55:09

55:13
your time, you don't even know if you can't play with keyboard the
55:16

55:17
There's probably a hard core audience that can
55:19
only do with was the.
55:21
That know in my experience if you talk about computer
55:23
gaming like I got intolerant people
55:25
