What's up everyone? Welcome to the five hundred

0:24

and fifty fifth episode 555

0:27

episode of the Pokemon

0:29

podcast. It's super effective. I'm

0:31

your host Steve with me is Hannah.

0:33

Yeah. I'm still here.

0:37

I don't know. I've had a stressful cat

0:39

week. My cat got into a few things that

0:41

she wasn't supposed to get into and then last

0:43

night ran into a door as was closing it.

0:46

So I've just been worried about

0:48

my cat all week. That's pretty much it.

0:50

But she's fine. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty certain

0:52

at this point. I've spent multiple

0:55

nights staying up way too late observing

0:57

her. I think she's fine.

0:59

Alright. That laugh you heard was Greg.

1:01

He's back. Roars of my firing

1:04

were greatly over exaggerated. So

1:06

those of you in my

1:08

DMs, it's fine.

1:11

I was on. As I had

1:13

said multiple times leading up to my

1:15

break, on vacation. I

1:18

went to a place for

1:20

a vacation for the first time in

1:23

four years, and I was there,

1:25

And then I came home. Yeah.

1:28

And now you're back. Chris, now

1:29

that works. You know,

1:32

they call vacation.

1:35

Can't wait to take one?

1:37

We can only dream. That

1:39

was a very specification.

1:45

Boy, that place is expensive.

1:47

We did a bonus episode last week.

1:50

It was myself, Hannah, Bobby.

1:52

We just really talked about the DLC.

1:55

Obviously, the Pokemon presents, there was a lot

1:57

to cover. There's there's still

1:59

a lot to cover. So,

2:01

Greg's here now. And

2:04

the game updated to one

2:06

point two, which It updated

2:08

the day of the Pokemon presents. And

2:11

I wanted to talk about it, and I wanted and we

2:13

knew the notes before the game updated, but

2:15

I got a bone to pick

2:18

with these notes because

2:21

I was saying, in particular, just the notes,

2:23

not the people that wrote the notes. Just the

2:25

notes. You notes are poorly

2:28

organized and poorly worded

2:30

as I do not care for how you've

2:32

arranged yourself on the page.

2:33

How dare you? How

2:36

dare you put bug fixes there?

2:40

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go through the

2:42

notes of what was updated. There's

2:44

a new bug, I guess, that was

2:47

debating about talking about. I don't wanna, like,

2:49

fear monger of, like,

2:51

don't play sword and don't well,

2:53

don't play sword and shield. I play sword and shield because that

2:55

game's good. Go back to

2:58

sword and shield. Go back to that game

3:00

slaps. That's girl in my back

3:02

to it because of this bug. Take

3:04

take your chances at this point with the

3:06

little s v. Because you

3:08

may never be able to play your game

3:10

again. And then there's a new Pokemon

3:12

go community, and we didn't talk about Pokemon

3:14

sleep. So those are the three topics we're gonna do today.

3:17

But let's start with the show

3:19

let's start with the notes. Let's start with the

3:22

the one point two

3:24

patch now here. Okay. So

3:26

originally before the patch came out, they said that there

3:28

was some more things they were going to do in the patch that was

3:30

gonna surprise and delight us or

3:32

whatever. Maybe those more things are backwards, but

3:35

it either It may have surprised us,

3:37

but I highly doubt the delight part

3:39

came in. Yeah. Maybe. Okay.

3:42

So the new features

3:44

added. We got three bullet points here. I'm

3:46

unacceptable. I want four. Okay. So

3:48

the first thing is they added the hidden

3:51

treasures of area zero DLC, or

3:53

park, Pokemon Scarlet, and Violet games.

3:56

They can be accessed via the main menu. And

3:58

then For some reason, I'm gonna say this. For

4:00

some reason, when I watched the trailer,

4:02

I thought you bought one and it was for

4:04

both games. But that does

4:07

not seem to be the case again. No.

4:09

You buy one. You you have to buy

4:11

two different DLCs. Two

4:13

different DLCs, but you still to buy them individually

4:16

for each game.

4:17

Yes. Yes. They're functionally the same.

4:19

This was the same for Surnace shield.

4:21

It was because

4:23

Before replacing

4:24

the wrong version. And then

4:26

if I'm done with the player oh, you can't

4:29

you can't return TLC

4:30

and they were like, but I can't I

4:32

don't know how you buy the wrong version.

4:35

Oh, it's easy.

4:36

You booked a

4:37

flight for the complete wrong date, so don't

4:39

even come after

4:40

before how do you buy it for the wrong version.

4:44

This podcast is over. I didn't

4:47

I think two and a half weeks off here

4:49

to come back to attack

4:51

me. About a big man. Calendars

4:53

are hard. They are not hard.

4:56

Their hard code of dates has been that

4:58

way for fifteen hundred years or whatever

5:00

the current calendar that we're using is in

5:02

place. I don't know. Al, tell

5:05

us all about calendars in Slack. III

5:07

had a good time with Nick, not

5:09

going to banks. The

5:14

the DLC is there to purchase. It's five

5:17

dollars more expensive. I don't know if we talked about that

5:19

last week, but sword and shield

5:20

Yeah. Why is it more expensive?

5:23

Twice. At Sword and Shield was

5:25

twenty nine ninety nine. This is thirty four

5:27

ninety nine. Raiders can enjoy

5:30

Online competitions and friendly competitions

5:32

in the battle stadium entries are now open

5:34

for the new

5:36

online competition, Pallea ProLog,

5:39

So I think

5:41

the the, like, forty people out

5:43

there that still play single battles and haven't

5:46

transitioned into double battles because it's

5:48

too complicated for them. I think

5:50

they're happy that you can now have a longer timer

5:52

in single battles.

5:54

Finally, you can do sixty

5:56

minutes of rapid spin, but

6:01

Is that the new singles meta for

6:03

this one? It

6:04

it it it hasn't changed. It's always

6:06

the meta.

6:07

The timer seemed pretty big. The

6:09

people who do play that format

6:11

were very exciting. They were. They were.

6:14

Finally, they can talk, extoll even

6:16

longer in singles. Yeah. That's

6:18

how you win the dream. And

6:20

then the other new feature they added was

6:22

players can now connect their games to Pokemon

6:25

Go. So this was one of the surprise

6:27

and delights is we have Pokemon Go

6:30

compatibility. Actually, we'll we'll get to that,

6:32

but I I think that is really cool. Adjustments,

6:36

feature

6:36

adjustments. They added functionality

6:39

to the boxes because they were lacking.

6:41

Yeah. They didn't do anything. They still didn't

6:43

add in mass release though. From

6:46

a Pokemon's summary, players

6:48

can now change Pokemon nicknames, markings,

6:50

held items and mark or ribbon

6:53

related titles as well as reorder

6:55

moves, have Pokemon remember or forget

6:57

moves and use t m's. This

6:59

in itself

7:00

Great. Perfect. No complaint. Actually,

7:03

a great change. It was really weird that

7:05

you couldn't. It was it's weird

7:07

to say that it's a great changed because everybody

7:09

assumed it should have done that from the beginning.

7:11

So we caught up with what everybody wanted.

7:14

So thank you.

7:16

We back the

7:17

old one. Surprised it's non bug fixes.

7:19

Yeah. Like, it felt like that was a

7:21

bug. Hey. That was all. Oh, that is a feature

7:24

Greg. We are blessing

7:26

you with the ability to change your marks

7:28

in the

7:28

box, which you could do in past games.

7:30

But I didn't do

7:31

that before. Well, It's a feature

7:33

now. Maybe not a bug. If we don't

7:35

call it a bug, it's not.

7:37

We're gonna charge you an extra five dollars in

7:40

the DLC for that one for that one.

7:42

Bouf. Players can

7:44

now also swap out held items by pressing

7:46

the y button. I think old games

7:48

did this as well, but you know, that's back.

7:51

Players can now select all boxes

7:54

while moving Pokemon or items in the party

7:56

box view and held on views. Okay. That

7:58

for sure was a thing in old games.

8:00

What they're saying here is you could take

8:03

like seven Pokemon and then hover

8:05

over a box and just drop them in.

8:08

And that you couldn't do before. And

8:10

you could do it now. You could do it in past

8:12

games. That's back. And

8:14

then when in battle team view, Pokemon

8:16

in your boxes that are assigned to a battle team will

8:19

now have their icons displayed

8:21

in a darker hue if

8:23

those Pokemon member or the error in a battle team

8:26

being certainly despite. It just it just changed

8:28

some color so you know which Pokemon are battle

8:30

teamed or not. Okay.

8:32

Some bug fixes. There's a lot

8:34

here. Fatable

8:36

if they were fixed or not, but there

8:39

was a bug that prevented the opposing Terra

8:41

Pokemon HP from visually reflecting

8:43

damage dealt by certain moves such as

8:45

play

8:45

rough.

8:46

Such as play rough. Yeah. Real damage

8:49

dealt at the same

8:51

time that a certain status condition is a

8:53

wide. I've this actually happened a lot

8:55

in Greenwich, where it

8:57

would be paralyzed, but it would take like a full turn

8:59

for it to reflect paralysis. Causing

9:03

the terip overall, this

9:05

would cause the terip pokemons HP gauge to

9:07

fluctuate in an unusual matter

9:09

This has been fixed. I think it's been pretty

9:11

confirmed that the that specifically play rough

9:13

is fixed. The first time we heard about the play

9:15

rough issue was with charizard. Back

9:18

out a bit. And it was funny because during

9:20

that time, it was like, was it huge

9:22

power? Was it play rough? Was it this? Was it

9:24

that? And to me, it was always it was

9:26

always play rough because I would see non

9:28

huge power Azumirals use play rough and

9:30

the HP power would One

9:33

minute, it would be five percent, the next minute

9:35

would be fifty five percent.

9:37

That's fixed, I

9:38

guess. Zoom are all of

9:40

users out there over the moon. For Joyce,

9:43

bring him back. Bring him all back.

9:45

We want we eat him back. He isn't very

9:47

lost. Without you.

9:48

Here's the thing that that bug didn't stop, and

9:50

he was the overall user from breaking his overall

9:52

to a race. Why? It's

9:55

not it's not the player's

9:57

fault. It's the game. Don't hate the player.

9:59

Hate the game. There was a bug

10:01

that caused all Pokemon on your

10:03

side to feed it once. To

10:05

fight their HP indicating that

10:07

they still have HP. This could

10:10

occur in the Black Terra crystal raids.

10:13

Against Pokemon with the mightiest mark. This

10:15

has been fixed. I've

10:17

had this happen. Not a lot.

10:19

I've had it happen like maybe once or twice during,

10:22

like, Cinderace, but

10:24

got bad to know that was a bug because it

10:26

was very weird to be like, oh,

10:29

Oh, we're all dead. Well, we we I

10:31

I was watching I was watching health and we were

10:33

we were looking pretty green and now we're

10:35

we're looking pretty empty. That

10:38

doesn't make sense. And then you

10:40

you kinda think of like, oh, did, like,

10:42

reflect wear off and then did cinderace

10:44

just happen to crit everyone.

10:47

Did the fire off four things in a row

10:49

and hit everybody at the exact same time?

10:52

Yeah.

10:53

Those barades. There's

10:55

a bug that prevented players from entering

10:58

any input in the game

11:01

That could occur if a Terra Pokemon

11:03

took actions while a player was

11:05

choosing the target of the move. This

11:08

has been fixed. I disagree

11:10

with that one. But okay.errors could

11:14

occur when some someone connecting

11:16

to a terra ray battle saw a different Pokemon

11:18

displayed on stream and what the host

11:20

saw, that has been fixed. I have never

11:22

seen that. A bug

11:24

could occur when a cause player joining

11:27

a Tara Ray battle from the Tara Battle Search Screen

11:29

be brought to a Tara Ray battle against

11:31

a different Pokemon than they have seen.

11:34

That has been fixed. Also, I've never had

11:36

that issue. Is that supposed to be like, oh, I saw

11:38

him,

11:38

Kirkchin, and then all of a sudden, I'm fighting a hydrated.

11:41

Yeah. But I also had the thing

11:43

where I've selected I have selected the

11:45

right Pokemon, but the display in the front

11:47

shows something completely not

11:50

what I picked. I'm like,

11:52

where did that come from? And then it goes with the

11:54

one that I didn't pick. That's how I

11:56

ended up in that one raid with a level

11:58

thirty tempo. I'm like, yeah. I did

12:00

not pick

12:01

this. I did not do this,

12:03

but we're gonna make the best of it, I guess.

12:06

And then there was a bug that caused Terra Ray

12:08

battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount

12:10

of time that could occur under certain

12:12

circumstances that has been fixed. So

12:15

going back to the one that says, like, preventing

12:18

a player from entering any input. I

12:20

think the thing that most players had frustration

12:22

with was sometimes when you go to like

12:24

heel cheer or defense cheer, you would get stuck

12:27

in that menu, that that issue

12:29

is still there. Yeah. Yeah. You still

12:31

get stuck. Been fixed. I mean,

12:33

we could speculate maybe that's why random

12:36

in your raids don't heal cheer because they're terrified

12:38

of getting stuck. But I don't

12:41

blame them. But yeah. And

12:43

when you're trying to play like a healer, like a cliff

12:45

or grim snarl, or or something, and you're

12:47

like, okay, I gotta go wheelchair. You know,

12:49

I do notice that it happens at certain times.

12:52

Like, it definitely happens when the boss is

12:54

like about to clear where

12:56

it's like, I'm more likely to

12:58

get stuck versus the boss is just,

13:00

you know, using high jump kick. Because

13:02

I'll poke him on a high jump kick. But

13:06

it is a very frustrating

13:08

issue still to get stuck in

13:10

the chew

13:11

menu. You're

13:12

just in there and you can't do anything, but

13:14

watch everybody else keep doing those.

13:16

Yeah. Yeah.

13:16

You kinda hope like you die because that'll at

13:18

least get out of the manifested.

13:20

Please let me die. And

13:22

then I can do something. Tight

13:25

match ups against Pokemon that have fainted

13:27

will no longer appear while letting move

13:29

or target during double battles. I've seen this book

13:31

before. This is like if you're doing

13:33

rank ladder or just this

13:36

is specifically for like online battles, but

13:38

I've noticed if it if if

13:40

you're doing A4V4 and

13:43

this would only really work for four before. Actually, it work

13:45

for singles because there's not two poke point on the field.

13:48

Let's say you were doing four before and

13:50

you have you're against like a high dragon

13:52

and a grim snarl, and then the high dragon dies.

13:54

And so it's to your two Pokemon against just

13:57

a grim snarl. And one of your

13:59

Pokemon is scar CHOP, it will say it would

14:01

it would have said that the dragon

14:03

claw is super effective against the Grimster.

14:06

I saw that I saw I've seen this tons of times because

14:08

I watched competitive. Mhmm. But

14:10

it's not super effective against the Grimshaw.

14:12

It's saying that it was super effective because there

14:14

used to be a high dragon on the field and it would

14:16

have been super effective against

14:17

that. I'm pretty sure I ran it into

14:20

that during maybe a gym battle or something as

14:22

well. I know I ran into that during normal

14:23

gameplay. So

14:25

that would have been the

14:27

ghost girl, rhyme?

14:29

It might have been. It might have also just been

14:32

Let's see. One Pokemon

14:34

fainted and then the other was sent out

14:36

and it was right in that

14:37

moment. I think for if you're

14:39

competitive player, if you're the whole thing is competitive,

14:41

I don't think you use that feature anyways because

14:44

you're you're probably already thinking, like, I know what

14:46

move I need to hit against Grimshaw, and it's

14:48

definitely not dragging clock. But I definitely

14:50

saw people go like, oh, well, it

14:52

says this is super effective and I'm like, that's

14:54

not True. That's not gonna do any

14:56

damage because that's a ferry Pokemon. And

14:59

then they learned the hard way that that did

15:01

indeed do no damage, so that

15:03

has been fixed. We have fixed a bug

15:05

where in which Zohr arc that have crystallized

15:08

and was disguised as another Pokemon via

15:10

its illusion. Ability

15:12

could have been identified by Zorark

15:15

using the check target option. I

15:17

don't know what that is, but okay.

15:20

We have fixed up It's when you focus. It's it's

15:22

when you're aiming, I think. But it says

15:24

tracking the trigger button.

15:27

That has trastolized. Wouldn't

15:29

it be one of the roaming? No.

15:30

This is specifically saying a bug when ZuoraC

15:32

has trastolized.

15:34

I

15:34

wonder if -- Okay. -- in battle,

15:36

if Zorark triasolized, it revealed

15:39

that it was Zorark even though

15:41

it hasn't been revealed that it's Zorark. That's

15:44

what they're saying. Check target would be

15:46

when you hit the y button to check if

15:48

there's like reflect up or to check

15:51

if like something is negative one. So

15:54

I think in that menu. Look, there's not a lot of

15:56

competitors or arcs going around. It's probably

15:59

a very specific book. We have fixed

16:01

a bug where the type matchup for

16:04

targeting Zohr cat trash lies

16:06

disguised as another Pokemon. So this is

16:08

kind of piggybacking off the first one. We

16:10

have fixed an bug where the stats of

16:12

Domdoza with Atasiguri in

16:14

its mouth increased Domdoza's used

16:17

order up when the move

16:19

should have been negated, for example,

16:21

if a poke moneys protect. We

16:23

have fixed a bug where the effects of dusty bond

16:26

failed to activate if a trash lies Pokemon

16:28

the turn after used Destiny

16:30

Bond and then

16:31

failed. That seems like

16:33

a very specific bug. But, okay, I

16:35

don't think it says here, but they I swear

16:38

I read it, we're reading this off nintendolife

16:40

dot com. But I think they said they

16:42

fixed a bug where a Pokemon randomly reappear

16:44

on the battlefield in a double battle. You couldn't

16:47

attack it or anything. It would just like show up.

16:50

Hi. I'm back. I'm the ghost of the thing

16:53

you killed. Yeah. Here's what you did. Your battle.

16:55

Some

16:57

other things, we addressed an issue that made the game

16:59

prone to forcibly close at certain locations.

17:02

As a result of this

17:03

fix, there may be fewer Pokemon and people

17:06

displayed in certain towns or the

17:08

wild. I

17:08

think this is like a pretty big one. There there

17:11

there are still people that tell me

17:13

they've never had their game crash, which

17:16

Watch your heart. I think you guys are all like. think

17:18

this is a big

17:19

conspiracy. You guys are all working. You guys are always

17:21

going to get almost

17:22

two hundred hours. We know you don't play the

17:24

actual game, Hannah. You are just turning

17:27

it on and letting it sit on those screen

17:29

for two hundred

17:29

hours. No. I

17:30

think it would have crashed then.

17:32

Yeah. I've tried that. I've tried standing there for

17:34

like thirty minutes not doing anything in the second.

17:36

I think of my controller, the game crashed.

17:38

I'm out. I'm done. How dare you?

17:41

Yeah. I mean, I'm probably up to, like,

17:45

maybe, like, fifteen sixteen crashes

17:47

in the three hundred and fifty

17:50

hours I I've had. To

17:52

be fair, since the update, I haven't

17:54

had it crash zero times. I

17:56

mean, to be fair, neither I haven't only played

17:58

twice. I

18:02

wish I wish this bullet point was

18:04

more specific because it says as

18:06

a result of the fix, there may be fewer

18:08

Pokemon more people in certain areas

18:11

or towns. And of course, I

18:13

saw social media run crazy with this. I

18:15

saw people just make up statistics. Like they're

18:17

removing twenty five percent of all the Pokemon.

18:20

That that's just not true. Right? Like,

18:24

III went through

18:25

thirty. Yeah. I went through yeah. It's actually

18:27

fifty percent. Oh, thank you very much. I went through

18:30

the I did the whole

18:32

map,

18:32

right, since the update. One point two did the

18:34

whole map. And You went to Legg Lake?

18:36

You went to Legg

18:38

Forest I went to Leg Mountain.

18:40

Like I've been been everywhere. And I thought to

18:42

myself, there are probably less

18:45

Pokemon here. What

18:47

I can't remember. Or, like, it's so

18:49

hard to tell because I'm still seeing

18:52

Pokemon. Like like, I'm not in language.

18:54

Not that noticeable. Yeah.

18:55

It's not like I'm in leg leg and I'm like, wow, there are

18:57

no Pokemon around me. Dang

18:59

you game free. Like

19:01

thought

19:01

it still feels very populated. Yeah.

19:04

Yeah. And as for, like, NPCs,

19:07

I, boy, like, you

19:09

would have been, like, documenting them

19:11

or writing them down because I I've been in town

19:13

and I'm like,

19:15

I don't they this all looks the

19:17

same. I I everybody's name

19:19

in every town. So if

19:20

they got rid of Federico, I am going to be

19:22

furious. We

19:24

have fixed a bug in which part of we

19:27

have fixed a bug in which a Pokemon

19:29

that is not part of the Pallea Pokerdx,

19:31

so that would be like charizard. Was displayed

19:34

as being registered to the Pal they have pokedex

19:36

after being obtained through a link trade.

19:40

Not a hundred percent sure what that is, but okay.

19:42

Certain actions prevented main characters' expressions

19:44

from changing until the game was close and

19:46

reopened. This book is and

19:49

did that multiple times. It was very frustrating.

19:52

They fixed a bug with

19:55

battle rank rewards. And fixed

19:57

a bug which a player may have not received the

19:59

master rank ribbon if they have registered

20:01

several battle teams but not have used the battle

20:03

team in the first slot when winning

20:05

ranks battles in master volunteer. We

20:09

have fixed a bug in which a Pokemon that

20:11

you have caught and I have listened to your commands

20:13

in ordinates of what was written in the

20:15

profile app. So it would be

20:17

like if a Pokemon was called as level

20:20

XX or below, they would listen to your commands

20:23

if that Pokemon was link traded back

20:25

to you from another

20:26

trainer. Oh, I

20:29

see. So that was And

20:30

we had just had a discussion in the Slack

20:32

the day before the patch notes were released about

20:34

exactly that to figure out if it was a bug

20:36

or not. We have

20:38

fixed a bug in which new information

20:41

may not have been added to your pokedex after

20:43

you receive shiny Pokemon or a

20:45

Pokemon caught by trainer who played a different

20:47

language via surprise trade if you've

20:49

already had that species

20:51

registered to your pokedex. Objects

20:53

such as Poke balls could be displayed in certain

20:55

areas wasn't unintentional? This has

20:57

been fixed bummer. What about the slow bros that

20:59

appeared in Yeah. Kate the slow brotherhood

21:02

because that was amazing. Masservice

21:05

are no longer displayed during certain

21:07

battles that take place in towns or

21:09

during the main story. And a number

21:11

of other bugs have been fixed. So a couple

21:13

things not listed here. I guess not a bug, but

21:16

if you played Double bat, if you play battles,

21:19

online battles, you could only play in the school

21:21

yard, which let me tell you, after

21:23

playing three years of Sword and Shield and

21:25

being in huge

21:26

stadium, having grandma cheer behind

21:28

you with,

21:29

like, four kids

21:30

is not really the competitive scene that I

21:32

personally want.

21:34

But, you know, I'm happy she

21:36

showed up.

21:38

Yeah. She keeps showing up. It's it's hard

21:40

for her to get out of the house these days. So

21:42

the fact that she comes to your pathetic battles

21:45

really shows her love

21:46

for you. True. But now you can battle in the

21:48

elite four room. You can see that room

21:50

once again. And then There's nobody

21:52

in that room. It's just

21:54

before a leave poor member is going, like, why are

21:56

we here?

21:57

No. They're not asking me to do a different

21:59

tablet that needs to go get a diaper change.

22:01

And then I think you can battle on that beach

22:04

area where you first fight pneumonia.

22:07

So there are more there are

22:09

more stadiums. And I think they they updated

22:11

the camera in battles, so it's a little

22:13

more dynamic.

22:17

I wasn't sure if this was a bug.

22:19

It's not mentioned here. I verified it

22:21

before one point two. I verified it after

22:23

one point two. This this is infuriating

22:26

to me and

22:28

people on the Internet are dumb and they didn't understand

22:30

what they're saying and I'm very mad about

22:33

it because I think it

22:35

does take away a lot

22:37

of what I think is

22:39

fun about Pokemon, which I'm

22:42

gonna say RNG is fun about Pokemon,

22:45

but, like,

22:46

that it it is to a next step that's

22:48

why people shine a

22:49

hunt. But I think it was

22:51

in Gen five they introduced or maybe Gen six

22:53

they introduced critical catching. And

22:55

what that is is it was like an increased

22:57

chance that you're a guaranteed

23:00

catch or not a guaranteed catch. I think it was

23:02

technically behind the code. It's like a times eight.

23:04

So like like, a a

23:06

quick ball when you use it on turn one is, like, times

23:08

five. Repeat ball is always, like, times

23:11

four as long as you have the Pokemon registered. But

23:13

it it would take so so if you had a quick

23:15

ball and then critical catch activated,

23:17

it would multiply those two together. Right? And

23:20

it would be almost critical catch.

23:22

So I feel like, I know

23:24

specifically in Sword andShield, the more

23:26

Pokemon you caught per your decks,

23:28

the more likely you were to get critical catches.

23:31

And I was hitting critical catches left and

23:33

right in Pokemon molecule. It was great. Right? It's

23:35

a great feeling. In my opinion, to

23:37

be like, this Pokemon has really bad

23:39

catch rate or oh, I've I've thrown like twenty

23:41

Poke balls at this Pokemon and then all of sudden critical

23:43

catches, you catch it feels great.

23:45

Right? Grow code catches have been around for

23:48

ten plus years in Pokemon games. They

23:50

exist in Pokemon Go. They

23:53

act how they should in Pokemon go.

23:55

Right? Like, I think Pokemon go, it's like a one and

23:57

two hundred chance to critter something like

23:59

that. I don't know, I think we'll never tell

24:01

you. In

24:03

this game, that doesn't

24:05

exist anymore. And if it did exist,

24:08

it's impossible to tell. And I I made

24:10

a video about this, and this is why say

24:12

people are dumb. Because half of the

24:14

comments were like, well, you're using a pokeball.

24:18

Paul doesn't matter. The pokomart

24:20

I am catching doesn't matter. You can

24:22

literally test this yourself. This is the easiest

24:25

thing to test. So what happens in Scarlet

24:27

and Violet is that

24:29

if you're if you're looking

24:32

at a lasagna and you go to throw a pokeball

24:34

a lasagna, And the first time you

24:36

catch little chunk, you'll get that one shake, two

24:38

shake, three shake, click, and then you catch

24:40

little chunk. Right? Every little

24:42

chunk you catch after that little

24:44

chunk will always critical

24:47

catch, but it's not critical

24:49

catching. That's the thing. It

24:51

is it is just giving

24:53

you the critical catch animation for

24:56

a successful catch. So

24:58

why this is infuriating? Is

25:01

once once you know about it, you're you're never

25:03

going to unsee it. But what it means

25:05

is every pokeball you throw, if

25:07

it doesn't shake in the air,

25:10

which is the critical catch animation. So

25:12

the ball rear sores hits the Pokemon.

25:15

It does this weird shake and you're like, okay, it's a going

25:17

to critical catch and then it clicks in the air.

25:20

If it doesn't do that, it's never

25:22

going to catch. So

25:24

every time you throw a Pokeball out of Pokemon now,

25:26

if it doesn't click in the air, it's

25:28

a failed catch no matter what. And

25:31

it's it's a bummer because the

25:35

suspense there there's so many suspenseful

25:37

things in Pokemon. Right? There's, like, when you're,

25:39

like, battling Mewtwo and he's one HP

25:41

and he's asleep and you're on, like, your fiftieth

25:43

Pokeball, and it's like one shake,

25:45

two shake, and you're like, oh my gosh, it's

25:47

the third shake, and then all of a sudden it breaks

25:49

out. You're like, no. Right? Like

25:51

it's like that. But You don't

25:54

get that anymore. Right? Because if it hits

25:56

that little chunk and then it drops to the ground

25:59

and you're like one shake, two shake, three shaker.

26:01

It's it's you already know that it didn't

26:03

catch. So again, you can test this.

26:06

As as long as the Pokemon is

26:08

registered in your pokedex, you

26:10

will always critical catch it.

26:12

So ultimately, there is no suspense

26:14

because once you know that it's gonna critical

26:16

catch here, like, well, the three shakes is useless. Because

26:18

I know it's not gonna catch. Secondly,

26:21

it seems that critical catches are completely gone

26:23

because if there is an increased catch of critical

26:26

catch. You would never see it because it's just pretending

26:28

everything is critical catch. Thirdly,

26:30

if, I guess, you would be able to test it

26:32

before you caught a Pokemon of like, oh,

26:35

I don't have a stone

26:37

journal registered in my decks and I just

26:39

critical caught it. That's great. But that doesn't

26:41

fix the afterthought of, like,

26:44

every stone jitter after this would always be critical

26:46

cash. And thirdly, tell people being like, well,

26:48

the the the legendary Pokemon didn't

26:51

do that. Yeah. Because they're not registered in your

26:53

decks. You could only

26:53

catch one of them. Which means

26:55

there's still the good suspense that you're looking for

26:58

for the legendary Pokemon. That's an

27:00

argument. Argue that there is still suspense.

27:02

It's just shortened. It's

27:04

just a shorter length of time. It's like when you're

27:06

doing a raid in Pokemon Go and you're down

27:08

to your very last ball and if it shakes

27:11

once and doesn't break out, you

27:14

know that you caught it. That's a shortened

27:16

length of time. But if it shakes once

27:18

and fleas, that's all it's gonna do.

27:20

That's a hard analogy for people who don't

27:22

understand that mechanics.

27:27

I I just I I get the the the

27:30

I get the We're gonna

27:32

just click catch all of the successful

27:34

catches to save time. But

27:36

I feel like you're you're instead also

27:39

wasting a lot of time that I have to

27:41

sit through a failed animation that

27:43

I know is a hundred

27:46

percent failed. Like, again,

27:48

it removes the suspensefulness of the three

27:50

shakes because as soon as it drops the ground,

27:53

I know that it's not gonna work and

27:55

I'm just I have to sit through that. Obviously,

27:58

if you use, you know, if you always use quick balls

28:00

and you always use repeat balls, you

28:03

have a higher catch rate, so you probably see that

28:05

fail animation less. If

28:07

you're trying to catch things in luxury balls which

28:09

don't have increased catch rate or premier balls

28:11

don't have increased catch rate, you

28:13

have to sit through that animation a lot. And

28:17

again, III do think that

28:19

the magic of

28:22

critical catch is just gone at this point.

28:24

Like, I can now now that I've realized

28:26

that this is a thing I could go back and

28:29

look at all my shiny catches and be like every single

28:31

one of those were a critical catch because I don't think I

28:33

ever caught a shiny that I

28:35

didn't already have registered in my pokedex

28:37

to begin with. Again, the reason I

28:39

bring that up is not to now

28:41

groom the magic that critical catches kinda

28:44

busted in this

28:44

game. But it wasn't mentioned in the show note

28:46

in the show notes in the

28:48

Yeah. It was not mentioned in the show notes at all, and we

28:50

need to talk about that. It wasn't mentioned

28:52

in the patch update. So, again, I don't know if

28:55

that's intentional or not. I do think there

28:57

is value in speeding up the catch

28:59

rate, and I think Legends did this really

29:01

well. Where legends would it

29:03

was hard to see in legends because mostly that

29:05

color palette was bad and everything looked

29:07

brown and the Poke balls were wooden,

29:09

which are also a shade of brown. But

29:12

when you caught in legends, it would

29:14

do the three shakes as it like fell

29:16

to the ground. So

29:19

it was saving time that way?

29:22

Again, I I think I think there is

29:24

value in speeding up. Catching?

29:27

I don't think this is the

29:29

right way to do it. Or maybe

29:31

it is still bugged and they haven't figured enough. It's

29:34

probably still bugged. Let's be real. It is

29:36

probably still bugged. But

29:39

but, like, for sure, different in this game

29:41

because, again, in Sword and Shield, it was proven

29:44

that the more Pokemon you caught, the

29:46

more likely you were to get critical

29:48

catch. So it was

29:49

Like, even if you didn't care about the shiny term,

29:52

feeling out your pokedex made your

29:54

catching just better. Because

29:58

we we deal in science here and because

30:00

we are very scientific and because we

30:02

only use the world's best information.

30:04

I did a Twitter poll. Oh,

30:07

good grief. We got two thousand

30:09

five hundred and twenty six votes. That's a lot.

30:11

That's that's a lot of people. Could be

30:13

more people? Could be less people? Could

30:16

be. It could be a lot of

30:18

things. This the question was simple.

30:21

Do we think the recent update to Pokemon

30:23

Scarlet Violet fixed some of the performance

30:25

issues? Forty six percent

30:28

says yes, it feels better. Fifty

30:30

four percent says, no, it feels

30:32

the same. I don't know what

30:34

to believe anymore. Because

30:37

when Alex, when I boot up the game, I went to

30:39

the first thing I did after the update is I went

30:41

to the lake and I drove around the

30:43

lake and I was like, this feels better. And

30:45

then I went to the forest, and I was like, this feels

30:47

better. And then when I was just going

30:50

between places, I was like, I

30:52

can't tell it. If this is a placebo or

30:54

not, I can't tell if it

30:56

actually is better or

30:57

not. So

30:58

You need

30:59

to have one game side by side with the other

31:01

Oh, that that would be good. There you go.

31:03

That would be good. Yep. Can you

31:05

can you launch a non updated like, can

31:07

you force a non

31:08

updating?

31:09

Yeah. You just can't connect to the Internet.

31:11

Do you guys think it feels better? No.

31:17

I think it does, but I know I want it to.

31:19

And so I don't I don't really trust myself.

31:22

Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of placebo

31:24

effect like you've been told that it feels better

31:26

and -- Yeah. -- until you run into

31:29

the major glitches, it's very

31:31

hard for us to judge our

31:33

own memories of

31:35

is it faster or is it slower?

31:38

And I think you like, it people who

31:40

really, really, really, really, really want

31:42

the game to be better are great to say, oh, yeah, this is

31:44

better. And people like me are like,

31:47

it feels the same, but I'm

31:49

also no I've I'm no longer

31:51

invested in this game. Like,

31:53

they have sort of lost me on this game,

31:56

and none of the bug fixes that they actually

31:58

feel like they've put in have really addressed any

32:01

of the issues that I was having with it.

32:03

Like, the monozu yeah. It's

32:05

just there's, like I don't know.

32:08

It doesn't feel Fun.

32:11

Like like, the raids aren't

32:13

great. Like, the after the patch

32:15

when I did those terror rates, they are still running

32:17

into menu hang ups. Like, the things

32:19

that I still actually do postgame were

32:22

not feeling any better. And I'm like, this is

32:25

and nothing burger right now. Like,

32:27

You didn't really address any of the performance

32:30

issues that people are having. You alluded to

32:32

them, but you didn't really

32:35

address them. You've

32:38

fixed bugs that are in your notes

32:40

are very very specific, but

32:42

nothing like hey, we know you would

32:45

fall through the earth sometimes that's been

32:47

fixed. Like and

32:49

so it's really hard to be, like, Oh,

32:51

it's so much better when the things

32:53

that I actually do, which are terrified battles,

32:56

feel exactly the same. I still get hung

32:58

up on things. I

33:01

haven't seen those Zoomerill come in in a

33:03

long time, so I don't I haven't run into the

33:05

play rough bug in a while. So

33:08

I'm not into it. So it

33:10

does not feel any different to

33:11

me. I already said I want it to

33:14

be better, so I don't necessarily trust

33:16

how I feel about it. But

33:18

I do think that going and running around the

33:20

lake, going and running around places that did

33:22

lag substantially before the

33:24

patch, I do think it feels it's easier

33:27

to just go and mindlessly

33:29

collect items when running around the lake, which

33:31

is something I've done a few times. I

33:34

did. So I had been holding

33:36

off on getting the physical copies of these

33:38

games until after the patch

33:40

because for reasons

33:44

I had to get the digital copy when it came out, and

33:46

I don't usually like having the digital copies.

33:48

So patch came out, I ordered the physical

33:50

copies, and I have them coming tomorrow

33:53

And I may just try to do that side

33:55

by side of check

33:59

check to see whether without

34:01

the update and with the update, is

34:03

there a substantial difference there,

34:05

at least one running around? I agree

34:07

with Greg that I don't feel like the rates

34:09

are much better, which is unfortunate

34:12

because that really is the main thing that they're

34:14

trying to get to come back.

34:16

Yeah.

34:16

I like running around the map. I like doing

34:19

random things outside of the raids. So

34:21

I'm still happy with the game. I still want to live

34:23

in this world. I'm still really loving these games.

34:26

But the raids themselves

34:28

still are not great.

34:31

The first, like, fifteen minutes I had with the

34:33

update, I was like, man, the boxes

34:35

are fixed. Everything

34:38

feels better. And then the more

34:40

and the more I played it. I played a

34:42

lot this past week. I was just like

34:45

more and more disappointed? Like,

34:49

again, the first fifteen minutes, I was like, man,

34:51

I'm so happy with this. And

34:53

then I it kinda, like, started to unravel

34:55

of, like, oh, wait, this isn't fixed.

34:57

This isn't fixed. I get stuck in the chair

34:59

menu. Like, that was such a big -- -- in race.

35:01

Like getting second tier menu feels

35:04

awful.

35:04

Huge disappointment. And then, like, there's four hundred

35:07

Pokemon in the game. Right? If they were I'm like, I would

35:09

rather than fix the cheer menu thing

35:11

than the play rough thing. Like, there are there

35:14

are seven hundred moves in this game. I can pick a different

35:16

very tight move. Right? Like, I

35:19

need to cheer in every

35:21

raid and that's the thing that's not fixed.

35:23

The box thing felt much better,

35:26

so that that was good. But

35:29

again, there was just other things where I'm

35:31

like, why hasn't this been

35:33

fixed? Mhmm. Why didn't you put

35:35

mass release back in? There's

35:38

so many little things that have existed

35:40

before that you just don't You

35:42

still don't

35:43

do. And it is sort

35:45

of frustrating to be like,

35:47

yeah, these are bugs that you need to fix. There

35:49

are still bugs that exist that you haven't fixed.

35:52

You haven't acknowledged. There's still performance

35:54

issues. Like, you

35:56

may have made it slightly better, but I think

36:00

you needed to make it significantly

36:03

better for people to really be

36:05

like, this is

36:06

amazing. They finally gave me the game that

36:08

I wanted. And they just haven't delivered that yet.

36:11

I I know, like, the speculation

36:13

is, like, game freak is rushed

36:16

and needs more time for these games and

36:18

whatever. I think if anything,

36:20

this game shows it the most. The

36:23

fact that you couldn't

36:26

even do the basic box

36:28

movements that you could do in every

36:30

Pokemon game before this and, like,

36:32

oh, you added like you're

36:35

you're like, it was great to be like, oh,

36:37

Mark's are coming back because you never know. Right? Anytime

36:39

Gamefreak adds a feature, it's like, our

36:41

seasons in black and white coming back. No. No.

36:44

That's only for that game. So it's like, oh, our

36:46

marks only for Sword and Shield, like, our alphas

36:48

only for Legends

36:50

Arkeus, like, we don't know until the next game.

36:53

The fact that they were they, like, added in

36:55

those features and were like, you can now do this.

36:57

It's like we could have always done that. It

37:00

took -- Right. three months to, like,

37:02

add it and fix it. It's it's

37:04

it's a bit frustrating. And I know, like, the reason,

37:06

like, can't delay is because the anime and the card

37:09

game and all that stuff. And

37:11

It's really hard to say that it's rushed. Right?

37:13

Like, it's hard to say say because

37:15

we don't know what were decisions that they felt

37:17

they didn't need to include. And then once the

37:19

game was out, people are like, why did you get rid

37:22

of this? And they're like, oh, we didn't think anybody

37:24

cared. Like, it's hard to determine what

37:26

was missed because they

37:28

didn't think about it, what was a deliberate decision,

37:30

and what was because they had a time

37:32

crunch and couldn't complete it.

37:35

And it's really hard to say like,

37:37

well, this is part of their box functionality.

37:40

So given the fact that you all believe they copy

37:42

and paste, that it would had to have been decision

37:44

to not copy and paste that code. Right?

37:47

Like -- Right. -- they could always do it so they

37:49

deliberately chose not to include it

37:51

for a reason. It it's really

37:53

hard to divine out exactly

37:56

where in the process, it either

37:58

was missed, was a bug, or they

38:00

didn't feel they needed to include it for some

38:02

reason. So III always push

38:04

against the idea that it

38:07

was rushed because every game, every

38:09

project everything is rushed at the end.

38:12

There is no there is no

38:14

project that's like, we were done seven

38:16

months before. We've been coasting on nothing

38:18

forever. Everybody is working on

38:21

everything up until the minute that they

38:23

can't. I I don't like

38:25

talking about they it was rushed.

38:28

Because we don't know what they prioritize.

38:30

We don't know what their decisions were.

38:33

And every project Every

38:35

project is chaos and tell you they're like just get

38:37

it out the door. I do

38:39

think I've talked about the sales rep. I do think

38:41

what We are seeing across

38:44

the board on all AAA games

38:46

is the industry turning against QA

38:49

and seeing quality assurance as

38:53

skippable as part of their business

38:55

because they'll just let the player base

38:58

do it for free and they'll weather

39:00

the bad PR for a

39:01

while. And I

39:02

think that is a bigger issue

39:04

that we are seeing across multiple platforms,

39:07

across multiple instances where

39:10

they are doing the bare minimum

39:12

of quality assurance because that's

39:14

expensive and they don't wanna pay those people

39:16

and just saying, you know, There's

39:18

no such thing to happen. Yeah. And

39:20

also, there's no such thing as bad PR.

39:23

And I I think that's really

39:25

hurting the industry everywhere

39:27

right now.

39:29

Yeah. I mean, I you make a really good point,

39:31

Greg, is, like, if if the if

39:33

the whole problem with Sword and Shield or

39:35

what people were mad about certain shit was

39:37

the copy and paste. Like boxes

39:40

should have been copy and pasted. Like, what they

39:42

added in this update was everything

39:44

we could have done in Sword and Shield. Yeah.

39:47

For boxes. For boxes, it was

39:49

already there. It's roughly the same engine.

39:51

It doesn't make sense to say,

39:53

oh, they it was rushed.

39:56

The the functionality was there. It's there

39:58

across multiple games. Could they just

40:00

not get it fixed in time and then removed it? Or

40:02

did they not think it was important enough? Or now

40:04

that I don't know. It's it's it was just very it's very

40:06

frustrating to be like, The box is

40:08

here. Duck. Yeah.

40:12

And now they added the

40:14

thing that we wanted that should have been their day

40:16

one. But they're still not

40:18

perfect. Right? Like, there's still things in the boxes

40:20

that could be significantly better. I think there's

40:22

a bigger conversation to be had of, like,

40:25

I don't think thirty two boxes

40:27

of thirty is the correct way to

40:29

organize Pokemon going forward. I think

40:32

that system in itself is outdated. And

40:35

III wonder

40:39

if people are feeling that now

40:41

that features were removed and

40:43

then they came back and then they're

40:46

just like, this is still not great.

40:48

Like, I don't know if anyone's like rushing back to the

40:50

game because the boxes are

40:51

fixed. Right? Like, yeah, no.

40:53

I think things like the boxes

40:55

are hardcore fan issues.

40:58

Yeah. And they have

41:01

the feeling true

41:03

or not, they feel that they can

41:05

up most companies feel this.

41:08

They can abuse hardcore fans

41:11

more because they're more

41:13

invested. So they can do

41:16

more frustrating things

41:18

to those people without paying a price.

41:21

Which is sort of a generally

41:24

bad thing the way that companies are behaving

41:26

right now that, like, we know you have

41:28

your money so we can we

41:31

can deliver whatever to you

41:33

and and give you back things slowly, and

41:35

you will be happy about it. Like, a

41:37

lot of companies that have a very cynical

41:39

view about people who are very loyal

41:42

to their product right

41:43

now. I think that that is is a general

41:45

thing in the field. Yeah.

41:47

I I would hope that there are

41:50

also people at Game Frick

41:52

who love to play their own games.

41:56

And they're like, hey, Bob.

41:58

I need you to add that functionality back

42:00

to the boxes. This is a

42:03

I mean, I'm sure there are, but We

42:05

already started to know that Nintendo has a very

42:08

when we've heard stories that they have

42:10

a very negative feedback. Atmosphere.

42:13

Right? Like, you have to be very careful

42:16

about the things that you call out, particularly

42:18

in the Nintendo and these games. To be

42:20

not seen as a problem. And I think that

42:22

is a culture problem that we learned with

42:25

Kit and Christa, that we didn't talk about the right things

42:27

with them, that that the feedback loop

42:29

in these companies, in particular, although

42:31

they seem to be good places to work for,

42:34

giving feedback are calling out

42:36

problems seems to be received very

42:38

negatively. And

42:40

so they are, again, like, I think there's a

42:42

fear in company of saying,

42:44

this is a problem we need to add it back in being

42:46

a squeaky wheel that again they were

42:49

relying on the fan in the public

42:51

groups to be the people who don't

42:53

have to report to them and rely on their paycheck,

42:56

to be the loud squeaky wheel that they

42:58

finally can say, Well, we brought

43:00

this up. We tried to let you know, but we didn't

43:02

wanna make a big thing about it. You know? I

43:04

I do think there is a slightly bad

43:07

feedback culture in game freak

43:10

and in Nintendo specifically.

43:12

Going back to whether the games are are

43:14

rushed or not, I don't know

43:17

is if if they took the

43:19

three months, game's been up for three months,

43:21

and this update was on November

43:23

first. I don't know if people

43:25

would feel better about that. Like

43:28

like the games are still kind of a mess

43:30

today. And I'm I'm sure there are some people listening.

43:32

They're haven't had any of these issues or,

43:35

like, everything runs fine for me, but, like,

43:38

it's it's it doesn't look any better. Right?

43:40

It's just still it's still frame

43:42

ready. To be fair, haven't fallen through the floor since.

43:46

I mean, I think I think

43:48

There is I think there is if they had come out

43:51

with this patch in

43:53

the middle of December, people would have felt

43:55

that they are being way more responsive than

43:58

the beginning or the end of February, beginning

44:00

of March. Because

44:03

I think a lot of people feel this was very

44:05

underwhelming. Like, they're a bigger

44:07

fish to fry and this is what you've done. This

44:10

feels like like the

44:12

box fixes feels like you could have done

44:14

that back in December. And that would have

44:16

been a bigger win than three months into

44:18

the game when a lot of people are like, well,

44:21

her like me, like, the game has kind of turned

44:23

me off. And your response

44:25

time of fixing things

44:27

has been slow and you still haven't really fixed

44:29

the things that I do do.

44:31

Well, they did they did add a couple new things,

44:33

which I think were probably scheduled

44:36

to line up with Pokemon Day anyways. I

44:38

think -- Right. -- they like, this was their,

44:40

like, little surprise free update for Pokemon

44:42

Day. We'll get to that after the break,

44:44

but we will be right back.

44:48

This podcast is brought to you by Mint

44:51

Mobile. After years of fine

44:53

print contracts and getting ripped off

44:55

by big wireless riders, if

44:57

we've learned anything, it's that there's always

45:00

a catch. And when I first heard

45:02

that Mint Mobile offers premium wireless

45:04

starting at just fifteen bucks a month.

45:06

I thought, what's the catch? The

45:09

catch? But after talking to them and

45:11

using their service, it all made sense.

45:13

There isn't one. Mint Mobile's

45:15

secret sauce is that they're the first

45:18

company to sell wire list service

45:20

online only. They

45:22

cut out the cost of retail stores

45:25

and pass those sweet savings directly

45:27

to you.

45:28

Look, if you hate your current phone bill,

45:30

Mint Mobile offers premium wireless

45:33

for fifteen bucks a month.

45:35

Maybe you don't hate your current phone,

45:37

but you want another phone. Maybe you want

45:39

to be that person with two phones like me.

45:42

And then people think you're just playing

45:44

twice the amount of Pokemon Go. I'm

45:46

not playing twice the amount of Pokemon Go,

45:48

but you could be that person

45:51

playing twice the amount of Pokemon Go.

45:53

For just fifteen months and one because you

45:55

have two phones. But maybe you just

45:57

want one phone. I can tell you by

45:59

using mobile in Milwaukee, Minneapolis,

46:02

Seattle. Boston. It

46:04

works. I get it that says little five g

46:06

in the corner. I get the speeds. I

46:08

log in. Okamongo. Working.

I love yarn. Yeah.

48:27

I love yarn crafting. I think this should be well

48:29

known for for the folks for our

48:31

program. But yarn is very expensive.

48:33

Absolutely. Yep. Good yarn

48:35

from the rear end. I

48:38

have recently discovered a YouTuber

48:41

I'm not going to mention their name because now they're

48:44

going to be a competitor. Okay.

48:46

That just does demonstrations

48:49

and patterns of yarn crafting and

48:51

yarn companies sent her

48:53

three yarn. Oh,

48:56

I haven't sent the yarn. Okay. Okay.

48:59

Again, it has. A website.

49:01

I went to it and I was like, this is incredibly

49:04

professional looking website that

49:06

you have, your patterns listed that

49:08

people can buy the patterns through the site.

49:10

all I need to do is make my

49:19

own website. Yeah. Yep. So I can copy

49:22

everything that she has one hundred percent better.

49:24

My own patterns to, like, do it in the opposite

49:26

direction and say this is the masculine version

49:28

or something like that. And then I will

49:31

days ago, I guess. They added walking

50:30

wake in iron leaves as

50:32

new Paradox, Pokemon, to

50:34

Scarlet and Violet. They exist. They'll be

50:36

here until March twelfth, I think.

50:39

would assume that we'll

50:41

get a seven new seven star

50:43

or a new something. When those end, I

50:45

wouldn't be surprised if when this podcast

50:47

goes up, we'll know what that is, but

50:50

also who knows. Also who knows.

50:52

Who knows? They're on their own

50:54

timeline here. Janine is also

50:57

on vacation. So Yeah. I

50:59

think everyone is maybe in agreement that that was

51:01

gonna come Pokemon Day regardless of

51:03

issues or not. I think the other thing

51:05

that was gonna come poke Monday regardless

51:08

of issues or not is the Vivian

51:10

compatibility that they added. So

51:13

now, I think the one that was in

51:15

the game currently was the fancy

51:17

pattern, if I remember. Is

51:20

it fancier? Is it modern? It's

51:23

not

51:23

modern. Modern is like blue, isn't

51:25

it?

51:26

Modern is red and blue, I think.

51:28

Oh, modern is red and blue. From southeastern

51:31

US, I have -- Yeah. -- some of the beyond

51:33

up here. There's

51:35

too many of them. Vivien. Vivien. They

51:38

added compatibility to Pokemon GO, which

51:40

I think is really great. I think that's

51:43

overall, a positive. I think it's a fun

51:45

way to interact between the two. Ideally,

51:47

what you do is just like in let's

51:49

go Pikachu, let's go EV. In Pokemon

51:52

Go, there's a little switch button that appears in

51:55

Scarlet Violet. If you go under Mystery Gift

51:57

and you go to that, they added Connect

51:59

to Pokemon Go. Ideally, you connect

52:02

between the two. And then in Pokemon Go,

52:04

you pick one of your postcards and

52:06

then you send it to your Switch game. You

52:08

still keep the postcard. In the

52:10

mobile version so you don't lose it. So

52:13

if you had a postcard from I don't know

52:15

Will, who is in Hawaii right now,

52:18

and then you send that postcard to

52:20

yours. don't think he sent me a

52:22

postcard now that I'm thinking about this. No.

52:26

I've gotten a couple.

52:27

Oh my goodness. So if if Will

52:29

sent you a a postcard from Hawaii,

52:32

you would then send that to your copy

52:34

of Scarlet and then that I

52:35

sent some people postcards from Florida.

52:37

So Oh, boy. Thank

52:41

you for taking that risk of going to Florida, Greg.

52:43

I paid for the risk.

52:45

Yeah. Florida. So let's So

52:48

Hawaii would give you the ocean Vivione

52:50

and then you instead of the

52:53

the instead of the current only single

52:55

Vivien that would spawn in Scarlet Violet, the ocean

52:57

ones would start spawning for twenty four hours.

52:59

So this is really great. Because not because

53:02

it encourages you to play Pokemon GO! If you

53:04

do play Pokemon GO! And you like the Vivian stuff,

53:06

which I think most players in Pokemon

53:09

Go really did like the Vivian stuff that they did.

53:11

It's like the one win Niantic had in the last

53:13

twelve months. The You

53:16

can then move those over and then you

53:18

can shiny, hunt them or just collect them. I think

53:20

this is the first time ever to not including

53:23

Pokemon GO that realistically, you

53:25

could get every VIVION with your

53:27

own trainer ID. You

53:29

could collect VIVION through Pokemon home.

53:31

You could collect them through x and y, but, like,

53:33

x and y had that

53:34

weird, like, 3DS specific

53:36

thing where it, like, pinpointing

53:38

where the 3DS

53:39

was originally powered on and So

53:41

this is ultimately the first time to get pretty much

53:43

all of them with your own trainer ID

53:46

in lottery balls.

53:47

Except for the Poke Ball pattern.

53:48

Except for the which was only event anyways.

53:50

It's gonna

53:51

be the seven star raid.

53:55

Perfect. They added that, which

53:57

was a which was a very nice surprise.

54:00

It's also that when you are union

54:02

circling with people who have

54:05

invited different Vivian to their Pallea

54:07

regions, then you can see all of the different

54:09

Vivian. At the same

54:11

time. Yeah. You can host little

54:13

catch parties.

54:16

Surprisingly, there was no updates for bug fixes

54:18

to co op I'm still shocked to the day that

54:20

the club works. I mean I've

54:24

had fun with it. Yeah. So that

54:28

that is not in the game and that

54:30

works. I've tried it

54:32

and it it seems fine

54:34

except there was a

54:36

Reddit post that popped up that

54:40

said that they were

54:42

doing the Vivian stuff and they went to

54:44

boot up their game and it

54:46

was gone. Everything everything was

54:49

gone. It acted like a brand new game when

54:51

they booted up. And of course,

54:53

Reddit comments don't know how to read other

54:55

Reddit comments and there's eight hundred

54:57

comments being, like, did you try the x up

54:59

b recovery thing, and they were

55:02

like, yes. And I

55:04

bless their soldiers flying responding

55:06

to every single one of them. But Yeah.

55:09

I I just Go up and

55:11

say, edit. I've tried

55:13

the thing.

55:14

Yeah. Delete it. For those that don't know,

55:16

there's like an emergent emergency recovery

55:19

in in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

55:21

if you are if you

55:23

live in the Wild West and you don't have Auto Save

55:25

on for whatever weird reason, Pokemon

55:27

fans are against AutoSafe even though, like,

55:29

literally every single game in the

55:31

entire world, AutoSafe. But

55:33

if you like, you're gonna live in the You

55:36

like to live on the edge of your seat in this

55:38

very buggy mess that is scarlet and violet and you're

55:40

bold enough to turn off auto save and your game crashes.

55:43

If on the title menu, you

55:46

press a combination of buttons. I think it's

55:48

x b and up. If I remember

55:50

correctly off the top of my head, it

55:52

will open up a recovery

55:54

menu and that recovery menu

55:56

will show you a recent save that the

55:58

game decided to save at that you could restore.

56:01

That doesn't work if you

56:04

boot up your game and it thinks it's

56:06

a brand new video

56:07

game. That that wouldn't work because

56:09

there would be no recoveries save. I

56:11

think that it's more than it

56:12

booted up and it boots up to a screen

56:14

that says save data couldn't be recognized.

56:16

And that you can make a new game.

56:19

Oh, I had You

56:22

can make a new game on a different profile.

56:24

And what shows up when

56:26

you try to boot up your game on your profile

56:29

is that screen saying save data

56:31

can't be

56:31

recognized. And so there are some people really,

56:33

really hoping that if this can

56:36

be fixed, that if they just

56:38

don't delete their save data --

56:39

Got it. -- then

56:40

maybe they'll be able to get back in someday.

56:42

Yeah. Side note, the the

56:44

way that the game

56:47

decides whether or not to recover

56:49

your data with the emergency

56:51

menu is usually just by talking to like

56:53

a nurse Joy. That's usually when the

56:55

game decides to save on its own in the

56:58

background without telling you. That's

57:01

usually where it pulls the the recovery

57:03

from is either, like, entering

57:06

I think it's, like, entering a building, not

57:08

flying, entering building and

57:10

or talking to another

57:10

store, like the two almost guaranteed

57:13

save points. Anyways,

57:15

not applicable here. Because the

57:17

person said they did Vivian last,

57:19

a bunch of people were like, don't do the Vivian

57:23

because that's causing you to lose the data.

57:25

There were a couple people when I say a couple,

57:27

I really mean, like, I read the whole thread because I was

57:30

I I wanted to see if there were instances. When

57:34

I say a couple, I mean, like, three or four people that were,

57:36

like, they were also doing the Viviana and then it happened.

57:38

And then if you dive deeper, there were

57:40

bunch of people that said they never even touched

57:42

to the Viveon.

57:44

They don't even play Pokemon Go, and

57:47

they had the same issue. And

57:49

it happened right after they booted up, after

57:51

they had updated. And then Joe

57:54

Sarabi, mister Joseph Sarabi, tested

57:57

the Vivian on a other

58:00

non main account that he had. And

58:04

from his research, it didn't seem to be

58:06

the Vivian causing the problem. Is

58:09

he thought maybe that if

58:11

there were two different Vivians because

58:13

the game couldn't remember which one to load, that

58:15

that was inherently causing the the data

58:17

corruption, and he

58:20

he got it to have two different

58:22

Vignons on the same screen. But

58:25

also, a handful of people said

58:27

they didn't even touch the video and they're having the same issues.

58:29

So it's really hard to say

58:31

that, like, oh, the video is causing this when we

58:33

know a handful of people never even touched it and they're

58:35

having the same exact

58:36

issues. So think more likely

58:38

it

58:39

would just be something to do with one

58:41

point two and not

58:43

specifically VIVION.

58:45

I do think it's it is definitely an

58:47

update issue that if you haven't updated,

58:50

this hasn't been an issue. But

58:52

the way I've been reading it and I've been keeping

58:54

a close eye on that thread because I'm very

58:56

scared of this kind of thing happening. Is

59:00

that it seems to be something

59:02

that happens either right after you

59:04

get the update or right after you

59:07

connect and do the Viveon thing and then save

59:09

and close your game. And then you boot it

59:11

up to find this screen and find that you can't access

59:13

your save file anymore. This

59:16

does seem like it's still a very small

59:18

number of people. So far, only

59:20

twenty five, thirty people, but

59:22

still more every day. But

59:25

right now, I am mostly just not

59:27

doing the VEON stuff, not doing

59:29

the the VEON stuff myself. And

59:34

I don't know. If you want to do it, I would say

59:36

maybe make a side profile for it.

59:39

mean, I don't don't think avoiding the amphibians

59:41

going away. Right? Like, they're not gonna

59:44

remove the functionality. You can wait.

59:46

Yeah. Yeah. But you wanna get the Gimi

59:48

Gool stuff in Go potentially.

59:51

If you are someone who wants to get the Gimi Gool

59:53

stuff in

59:53

Go.

59:53

I mean, I I want I want the Gimi Gool stuff.

59:55

But this is why I don't wanna, like,

59:58

fear monger because there's literally nothing

1:00:00

We can't even say it's the Vivian stuff because

1:00:02

we know that there's there's handful

1:00:04

of people that never touched it

1:00:07

that have the same issue. Right? Like, so it's like,

1:00:10

can't even be

1:00:10

like, well, play the entire game. Just do

1:00:12

don't do Vivienne because Yeah.

1:00:14

I mean, it's hard to say it's hard to

1:00:17

say how honest people

1:00:19

are, how much they're remembering, they

1:00:21

may have done the Vivint thing and said that it happened

1:00:24

after that twenty four hour thing had passed like.

1:00:27

Again, to draw conclusions from

1:00:29

people anecdotal evidence

1:00:31

is not a great way to track conclusions

1:00:33

about what is actually

1:00:34

happening. So

1:00:38

I mean, proceed with caution. But

1:00:40

But the what's the

1:00:42

just play the game game. Right? Like, yeah.

1:00:44

The people seem to think that

1:00:47

there is a the connection is

1:00:49

a common thread for a lot

1:00:51

of people. So if

1:00:54

you can wait a week to see if

1:00:56

Nintendo actually responds. This

1:00:58

is, oh, we've got found the bug and we fixed

1:01:00

it, or we've been able to replicate the bug

1:01:02

and we fixed it, Like, I don't think there's

1:01:04

anything to any problem

1:01:06

of saying, don't do the Viviana

1:01:09

thing for a week to see because we

1:01:11

have a lot of people saying it's

1:01:13

very specifically tied to

1:01:14

that. Not

1:01:15

lot of people. Less than

1:01:16

ten. Yeah.

1:01:18

But how many people are

1:01:20

reporting the bug. Somewhere

1:01:22

between twenty and thirty, I think, at this point.

1:01:24

I

1:01:24

mean, that's that's

1:01:26

in one That's

1:01:26

a third of the people. Yeah. Yeah. But

1:01:28

there's also equal amount of people saying they

1:01:30

never touched Vivian.

1:01:33

They never they never interacted with it at

1:01:35

all. They don't even have Pokemon Go accounts.

1:01:37

I think it's very possible that

1:01:39

this could be happening at two different points,

1:01:41

that it could be happening either when

1:01:44

you do the VIVION stuff or right after

1:01:46

the update.

1:01:47

Right. So, like, I've done the update. I've done

1:01:49

the Vivian stuff twice. I haven't had any

1:01:51

issues. I'm not

1:01:52

saying, like, okay. Like, I'm just saying

1:01:55

that I we we cannot no one can

1:01:57

give you, like,

1:01:58

don't do this. And it's a very very

1:02:00

small number of people so far.

1:02:01

Right. I guess if

1:02:03

you're worried, just don't play the game, but

1:02:05

I don't wanna tell people not to play the game. Right?

1:02:07

Right? Like, we we just don't know what's

1:02:09

causing it.

1:02:10

Yeah. I mean, you if you

1:02:12

are concerned, I will say this. If you are concerned,

1:02:14

don't don't play

1:02:16

the game for a week. Like, you

1:02:19

you can survive a week

1:02:21

and -- Oh. --

1:02:21

hopefully that they will quickly?

1:02:23

The hopefully, they will acknowledge it within the week.

1:02:25

Otherwise, at that point, like,

1:02:28

At that point, if they can't track it down in a

1:02:30

week to say this is what's causing that

1:02:31

bug, then it's not very widespread

1:02:34

and you are just taking the risk that

1:02:36

an unknown amount of factors that they can't

1:02:38

track down as causing it.

1:02:40

Again, I don't wanna come off of as fear

1:02:43

mongering like some people and be like, well, just don't play

1:02:45

the game or the game is because, like, there's

1:02:47

nothing there's nothing that is narrowing

1:02:49

it down to what it could be. When when sword

1:02:51

and shield first came out, there

1:02:53

was an issue where the game

1:02:55

would crash or you would lose everything. Right?

1:02:58

And that was the the national decks

1:03:00

people back at the time were, like, looking for anything

1:03:02

to throw a certain children of the bus. Because they

1:03:04

absolutely hated it. And they were like, look at they Gamefreak

1:03:07

can't even program a proper game and it's

1:03:09

crashing. There were five other

1:03:11

games having the same issue. One of them being

1:03:13

Super Smash Brothers whatever

1:03:16

the one on switches. I'm sorry. I can't remember it because

1:03:18

I'm gonna smash. But there was Smash

1:03:20

Brothers Sorton Shield and then three other games,

1:03:22

and it had nothing to do with those

1:03:24

games. It had to do with people not

1:03:27

formatting the SD card in

1:03:29

the proper way the SD card needs to be

1:03:32

formatted for the Nintendo Switch. Therefore,

1:03:34

the game data would eventually get corrupted. And

1:03:36

again, I have no clue if that is related to this

1:03:38

update where like maybe their SD

1:03:40

card is not formatted correctly. And finally,

1:03:42

the update did that. So

1:03:45

it It's

1:03:47

tough. Like, there will always be

1:03:49

issues with, like, I remember

1:03:52

specifically one of my mods in Twitch.

1:03:55

When Pokemon home updated for BDSP

1:03:57

and for Legends. They went to update

1:04:00

it, they got completely stuck, and

1:04:02

it's it braked their entire switch

1:04:04

system. They lost everything.

1:04:07

Everything from Sword and Shield, everything from BDSP,

1:04:09

which probably actually was it was probably a good

1:04:11

thing there. Everything from legends, everything

1:04:13

from let's go Pikachu, every other

1:04:15

non Pokemon game they had. They

1:04:17

lost because the update to Pokemon

1:04:20

home that they were downloading brick to their

1:04:22

system. And I am sure

1:04:24

that happened to other people, but I'm also

1:04:27

sure that we can't a hundred percent narrow

1:04:29

down to Pokemon home causing that issue.

1:04:31

You. It could have just been the SD

1:04:33

card failed at that moment in time,

1:04:35

and that SD card failing when the download

1:04:37

happened caused it to brick. Again,

1:04:40

we just spent the first forty five minutes of this episode

1:04:42

being like this update didn't seem super great

1:04:44

and this update seemed bad. But

1:04:50

we just don't have enough

1:04:52

data here to be like VIVION

1:04:54

or the one point two update causing the

1:04:57

issue. It sucks.

1:04:59

It's super sucks and hopefully they say

1:05:01

something, but III

1:05:03

don't know. Like, I don't I are people

1:05:06

suddenly getting it now or I

1:05:08

mean, if people are getting it specifically

1:05:11

after updating the one point two, that would be more

1:05:13

realistic because people might not just be updating.

1:05:15

Like, people might have picked the game up after a

1:05:17

week

1:05:17

and, like, okay, I have to do the update now to log

1:05:19

back in. I'm

1:05:21

pretty sure all of them have been after one point

1:05:23

two. I'm pretty sure every single

1:05:25

one has. Yeah.

1:05:27

But it's still a very small number of people.

1:05:31

Right. And there's a lot of games that are sold. Right?

1:05:33

So, like, the more people that own the game,

1:05:35

the more issues you hear

1:05:37

from a small amount just because there are more people.

1:05:40

Like, what did Sword and Shield sold, like, what,

1:05:42

twenty six million and we're three months out,

1:05:44

and Scarlet and Violet have sold twenty three

1:05:46

million or something insane like

1:05:48

that. Yeah. And I

1:05:51

I can't even be like we can't even

1:05:53

on the show be like, well, do this,

1:05:55

this, and this before you start up to ensure,

1:05:57

like, the best performing. Like, IIII

1:05:59

don't know. We don't know. Like,

1:06:02

make sure that you have others. If

1:06:04

Pokemon home existed at this point,

1:06:07

we could be like, hey, Move all

1:06:09

your good Pokemon Pokemon home. Continue

1:06:11

playing the game if it crashed. At

1:06:14

least your Pokemon are safe. But Pokemon home

1:06:16

doesn't exist right now. They said spring and it's

1:06:18

not spring yet. That's

1:06:20

my big worry. I I wanna keep my

1:06:22

distribution Pokemon safe. Yeah.

1:06:24

I don't know.

1:06:27

But it is what it is and hopefully hopefully

1:06:29

they acknowledge it, hopefully something happens

1:06:32

and hopefully maybe

1:06:34

those people have had it happen and

1:06:36

get it reversed. That is the ultimate

1:06:38

hope there.

1:06:39

Yep. I have no hope

1:06:41

in reversal. As

1:06:45

somebody who worked for a big tech tech company

1:06:47

for five years and watched people lose their data

1:06:49

every single day. There's That's

1:06:52

fair.

1:06:53

There's not a lot of reversal that happens

1:06:55

when data gets corrupted. I mean, hopefully,

1:06:58

babies not. But hey, if there's a cloud

1:07:00

something maybe sometimes, but rarely

1:07:02

no. Yeah.

1:07:04

Again, that probably leads to bigger question of, like,

1:07:06

why Pokemon doesn't sync to

1:07:09

Nintendo Cloud, but yeah.

1:07:12

I think that that There's a lot of questions. I

1:07:14

think that's also like, send

1:07:16

all your Pokemon to home, restore from the

1:07:18

cloud backup, ten minutes ago. Now you have

1:07:20

double of every Pokemon within minutes.

1:07:23

And they would have to work to implement

1:07:26

a system like that. Why would they do that when they could

1:07:28

just charge you fifteen dollars a year to

1:07:30

use their dedicated system?

1:07:33

I'm not defending it. It sucks. Just

1:07:37

you're you're not expecting a great outcome.

1:07:39

That's No. No. No. I

1:07:41

really don't expect a ton of people. I don't

1:07:44

I don't I don't expect

1:07:46

a recovery feature. I

1:07:49

don't remember Greg the callous thing

1:07:51

when Lumio City had that bug

1:07:54

where It would crack There was no reminds

1:07:56

me

1:07:56

of. There was no recovery feature there either.

1:07:58

There

1:07:58

is no recovery from that. That was

1:08:00

a that was a dead and gone. How long

1:08:02

did it take for reports to pop up of,

1:08:05

like, within a

1:08:06

week, I think. But it was within a week, and then

1:08:08

they

1:08:08

took them They acknowledge it pretty they acknowledge

1:08:10

it pretty fast.

1:08:11

And then

1:08:11

they they fix fit within another

1:08:14

week, I think. Yeah. Mhmm.

1:08:16

So it's almost been a week since one point

1:08:18

two. So if it is an actual

1:08:20

issue with one point two, hopefully

1:08:24

they would acknowledge it this week. And then --

1:08:26

Yeah. -- did with with Lumio

1:08:28

City, that was an easy

1:08:29

fix. It was don't

1:08:31

save in Lumio City

1:08:33

in the city.

1:08:37

Well, specifically, don't save outside in

1:08:39

LumiO City because you could just save in

1:08:42

the Pokemon Center.

1:08:44

And it was fine.

1:08:45

Yeah. It was Yes. The parking lot was Outside

1:08:48

in the big city and you saved you were

1:08:50

boned. Okay. So here's

1:08:52

my advice. If your game is

1:08:54

still working as of this recording, just keep

1:08:56

saving in that same

1:08:57

spot. If you end your session,

1:08:59

just go to the spot and just go right back

1:09:01

to where you were and save Mark

1:09:04

put Mark's on the floor.

1:09:07

You guys say I mean, spot though. I feel like

1:09:09

I usually fly to a Pokemon Center and then

1:09:11

save there.

1:09:12

Really? Yeah. I save for guys. Okay.

1:09:15

I I rarely move. So

1:09:19

I've been at the same Pokemon Center for a

1:09:21

month and a half.

1:09:22

I'm not sure I've ever saved it a Pokemon Center,

1:09:25

maybe once during my playthrough.

1:09:26

Yeah. I can't like I always cannot get rid

1:09:28

of that habit that I had

1:09:31

from So because of the old games, you

1:09:33

had to be in a Pokemon Center to connect

1:09:35

to trading The stadium

1:09:38

And I think it was also colosseum.

1:09:40

You had to be in Pokemon Center?

1:09:44

I just have always saved

1:09:46

there and I have never bothered to break

1:09:48

that habit because why I usually

1:09:50

go heel up and then I'm like, well, I'm done.

1:09:53

Save. It's something I do in Final Fantasy fourteen.

1:09:55

I will fly back to the main

1:09:57

city, go get my armor repaired.

1:09:59

And

1:10:00

then log out. Like, these

1:10:02

are the things that I just do. This is my habit.

1:10:05

Yeah. I'm I mean, I always used to go to

1:10:07

the very center of the pokeballers close

1:10:09

as I could get in the old

1:10:12

games and save in the Pokemon

1:10:13

Center. But ever since it's been on

1:10:15

the switch, it's just wherever. It's

1:10:18

just all bets are off now.

1:10:20

Yeah. I think I think in legends, I would always

1:10:22

save in the town near the gate. Yeah.

1:10:25

Well, I would sometimes save in

1:10:27

my house. Oh, I never saved in

1:10:30

my

1:10:30

house. Because that was like being

1:10:32

in a pokka basin.

1:10:34

Yeah. I think I saved in my house here and there.

1:10:35

But most of the time, no,

1:10:38

I I had a funny habit in legends

1:10:40

that were at whenever I would

1:10:42

go to report my Pokedex things

1:10:44

or go to report to my higher ups. I

1:10:46

would always make sure to go and change back into my

1:10:48

uniform before doing

1:10:49

that. So I went into my house in legend. All the

1:10:51

time. Yeah. Now

1:10:53

speaking of your house, let's talk about Pokemon

1:10:55

Sleep real quick. Oh,

1:10:58

where's my Pokemon Sleep News? We're skipping

1:11:00

over my thoughts on the trailer. It's even

1:11:02

on the notes. Oh, it's on the notes. Yeah. Great. Where well,

1:11:05

as I find my sleep notes. Don't know

1:11:07

where I put them. Where were your thoughts on the

1:11:09

the the trailer? It

1:11:13

was fine. I'm excited for the new legendaries.

1:11:16

I'm not excited at

1:11:18

fall and winter for timings. I'm

1:11:21

a little bummed that

1:11:23

for it, like, they're both like,

1:11:25

you go and I say, shoot. It's like,

1:11:28

you're going somewhere else. I'm

1:11:31

kind of Matt, on the

1:11:33

fact that the first one doesn't answer

1:11:35

any of the open ended questions that we

1:11:37

have for area zero, and that won't

1:11:39

that will hopefully happen in winter,

1:11:42

I find it little weird that they're like, well, we're

1:11:44

done with Spam. We're going back to Japan for

1:11:46

the first day. Like, now

1:11:48

foreign

1:11:49

exchange, you know, we're sending you some are completely different. I heard

1:11:51

people want those jitsa remakes.

1:11:54

I think the new legendaries

1:11:56

look cool. think the bulk one that they

1:11:59

showed look cool. I'm

1:12:01

curious if they're gonna

1:12:03

follow. It feels like they're following sort

1:12:05

of the same path of

1:12:07

one being more competitive focus

1:12:10

and one being more legendary

1:12:12

focus. I didn't get a great sense that they're dividing

1:12:14

the storylines amongst the two that they're

1:12:17

they're similarly following

1:12:19

the armor and crown tender feel

1:12:22

of them. I think the

1:12:24

new outfits are bad.

1:12:28

They're they're nothing burger. Like, you you're

1:12:30

talking about the free outfits that you get?

1:12:31

The free

1:12:32

scope and see if we're not

1:12:34

free. You have to buy the DLC. I

1:12:36

mean, you have to buy the DLC.

1:12:39

I think the new turtle looks great. I think the people

1:12:41

that are like flipping out that there will

1:12:43

not be any new Pokemon

1:12:46

types because of the back

1:12:48

of a legendary turtle ignoring

1:12:50

the fact that there's stuff on the side. It's like,

1:12:52

look, people. You are

1:12:54

you are working yourselves up and do a

1:12:56

frenzy for no good reason.

1:12:59

Oh, yeah. You are basic things off

1:13:01

of nothing. I'm

1:13:03

excited for Pokemon Concierge. I think

1:13:05

that looks cute. I'm

1:13:09

very much on the fence about Pokemon sleep.

1:13:11

They broke unite

1:13:13

terribly.

1:13:15

Don't

1:13:15

care about Cafe remix. Well,

1:13:17

they don't connect Vivian to unite. I think it's

1:13:19

okay. It's

1:13:21

not. So broken right now.

1:13:24

I like the pairs that they introduced for

1:13:26

master ZXI think that part was really good.

1:13:30

And we'll talk about sleep. Overall, I

1:13:32

was oh, or I was like, oh, okay. This

1:13:34

is this is what I expected exactly

1:13:37

from this and there was nothing in there that

1:13:39

apart from Pokemon Concierge, which

1:13:41

I thought, oh, you're making you're making

1:13:43

something brand new, I

1:13:45

guess. That was cool, but everything else is

1:13:47

like, this is pretty much what I expected

1:13:50

and I'm not overly wowed

1:13:52

by any of

1:13:52

it. Yeah.

1:13:53

I think a lot of people were wowed about sleep

1:13:56

I felt sleep actually fifty fifty honestly. What

1:13:58

a bad transition? I felt like either you were into

1:14:00

sleep or you were upset that sleep took

1:14:02

so much time out of this presents. You

1:14:05

were on either end of the fence. So

1:14:08

They first announced sleep in May of twenty

1:14:10

nineteen. It is scheduled

1:14:12

to officially launch in summer of twenty

1:14:15

twenty three, or

1:14:17

iOS and Android, Sorry,

1:14:19

Windows phone users.

1:14:22

The Pokemon Go Plus Plus is real.

1:14:25

It's coming out. It

1:14:27

is at the It's it's big. It's

1:14:29

big. It is. It's kind

1:14:31

of junctiously big. I

1:14:33

mean, like, I've I preordered

1:14:35

one because I want the ability to use

1:14:37

other balls when I'm walking around the

1:14:40

Mall of America and I do not care about

1:14:42

catching

1:14:42

anymore. And the

1:14:43

fact that I run out of regular Poke balls since, like,

1:14:45

we're done, has always made me mad,

1:14:47

so I ordered it just for that. But

1:14:49

the size of it

1:14:52

makes me feel self

1:14:55

conscious about I wanna hide it

1:14:57

in a pocket so that people don't

1:14:59

see me clicking this giant weird button

1:15:01

all the

1:15:01

time. I wanna see you click it.

1:15:04

The size of it feels feels

1:15:06

good for Pokemon sleep and bad for Pokemon

1:15:08

go.

1:15:09

Correct. And since I am

1:15:11

still iffy about sleep as what they're doing

1:15:13

with my privacy data, I mean,

1:15:15

the the I have a I have

1:15:17

a case on on this as you can see

1:15:19

the case is starting to ship. I'm sorry, audio listeners.

1:15:22

I'm just holding up a Pokeball plus the the one

1:15:24

for let's go Pikachu go easy. This is pretty

1:15:26

big though. Yeah.

1:15:28

It's big and round and you can hold it easily

1:15:30

in the palm of your hand. Like, close it in your

1:15:32

hand. Well yours is too big because you put

1:15:34

up another thing around it. But you could hold

1:15:36

it in your hand and it looks like you're

1:15:39

holding a tiny ball.

1:15:41

Like, it it is hidden in the pulmonte brand.

1:15:43

This thing does not easily it

1:15:45

is the size of the pulmonte brand from

1:15:47

what I can tell.

1:15:48

Big. Isn't got measurements somewhere. And

1:15:51

so you're gonna talk about the price, not the

1:15:53

size of

1:15:54

one of the prices. The price is

1:15:56

another thing altogether is overpriced, but

1:15:58

It is is a big chunky

1:16:02

thing.

1:16:03

Yeah. Using it for Pokemon sleep, I'm

1:16:05

I'm comfortable with the size using

1:16:07

it for Pokemon Go. It's gonna be

1:16:09

a little inconvenient except for the fact that it

1:16:12

sounds like it will be able to auto

1:16:14

throw normal Pokeballs. So

1:16:16

if I'm going to use normal pokeballs, I think

1:16:18

I could just put it in a bag or put it in a

1:16:20

pocket if I had pockets that size.

1:16:23

Yeah. Does

1:16:25

that make sense? It's two and a half

1:16:27

inches in diameter.

1:16:30

That's big. It weighs point

1:16:32

two nine pounds. And it's thick

1:16:35

is big and it's thick. So it is more

1:16:37

expensive than I thought it was gonna be if we

1:16:39

if we recall the the Cocable

1:16:42

Pokemon Go Plus, which

1:16:44

is Hannah as

1:16:46

being featured here. Again, sorry, audio listeners.

1:16:48

It should it just the you don't have to well,

1:16:50

you can come to YouTube if you want. It's just the pokebot.

1:16:53

You we've seen it for like seven years.

1:16:55

You've seen it. That device

1:16:57

was thirty five dollars. Originally

1:16:59

when it came out. And if

1:17:01

you remember correctly, it sold out instantly.

1:17:04

It sold out everywhere, and

1:17:06

it instantly went up to a hundred, a hundred

1:17:08

and twenty on eBay and stuff. Now the nice

1:17:10

thing about that device is

1:17:12

you could just order a German one or

1:17:14

a Japanese one or a Korean one because

1:17:17

they were exactly the same. The only

1:17:19

difference was the same. Box It came

1:17:21

in. There were fake ones

1:17:23

that went around. At some point,

1:17:25

but they're impossible to find now.

1:17:28

It was introduced seven

1:17:31

years ago Pokemon go seven years, I think.

1:17:33

Well, Maybe hearing it. Yeah.

1:17:36

And then when let's go Pikachu, let's go EB

1:17:38

came out the Pokemon Go, the

1:17:40

Poke Ball Plus, These names

1:17:42

are very cleverly named. That

1:17:44

came out and that worked with Pokemon

1:17:46

Go and that was fifty dollars

1:17:50

fifteen dollars more expensive. On

1:17:52

the flip side though It's a

1:17:54

whole controller. It's a whole yeah. It's a

1:17:56

Yeah. It's a whole it It's whole joy

1:17:58

con. It it worked with it it was

1:18:01

a whole controller that worked. And

1:18:03

it had a mule in it. And it had a mule

1:18:05

in it. That was the controversy of

1:18:07

paying thirty five dollar fifty dollars from

1:18:09

you. That

1:18:11

we cannot go back into

1:18:13

that. We cannot go back into

1:18:14

that. Those people were wrong. Now,

1:18:17

this is fifty five dollars, and I will

1:18:19

say, I'm

1:18:20

very happy that it has USB c,

1:18:22

which is the Poke ball. Yes.

1:18:24

Go plus also head USB c.

1:18:28

I would always pay extra for that instead

1:18:30

of what what micro USB

1:18:32

or whatever people are using. Yeah. This

1:18:35

does have sleep sensing in it. I don't

1:18:37

know how much that was worth, but obviously

1:18:39

this can still go under your

1:18:41

pillow. You don't

1:18:42

need a whole lot for sleep sensing.

1:18:44

And then you have the functionality

1:18:46

into

1:18:46

your pillow, or is it supposed to go just next

1:18:48

to you? I

1:18:49

thought they said under, originally, when they showed up.

1:18:51

I feel

1:18:51

like I'm really emotional. Just next

1:18:54

to you. Well, they gotta

1:18:54

show next to you. They gotta get it in the

1:18:56

shot.

1:19:00

And my concern is I have dogs.

1:19:02

So I was gonna register my dogs walking

1:19:04

around on the

1:19:05

big dogs. Can't sleep. Isn't he?

1:19:07

You guys are like,

1:19:08

oh, like,

1:19:09

chew on it, like, pick it up and take it somewhere.

1:19:11

They why would they they don't

1:19:14

grab our stuff? Well, Kaiju

1:19:16

grabs gloves, but they don't tend to, like,

1:19:18

they've never shown any interest in, like, I'm gonna

1:19:20

bite that controller or I'm gonna eat those

1:19:22

wires. Like, they do have a

1:19:24

sense of like, oh, it's

1:19:25

like that

1:19:26

a thing we should do. They're

1:19:28

not cats. It can use great balls,

1:19:30

ultra balls, that that that has nothing to do

1:19:32

with the

1:19:32

price. That's just a that's just like a that's

1:19:34

just a finally fixing that's finally fixing

1:19:37

a bug for as far as I've been learning, but of course

1:19:39

it got me to buy

1:19:40

it. And apparently, there's

1:19:42

a speaker in it too. Which you could

1:19:44

say the Poco Ball, the the first

1:19:46

one doesn't have any

1:19:47

sound. Right? I I don't remember. I think it

1:19:49

vibrates. That's what I remember.

1:19:50

It does vibrate. The the Poke

1:19:52

Ball plus, it

1:19:55

would light up per which Pokemon you I don't know if

1:19:57

people knew but if you put like a Pikachu in it, it would

1:19:59

get light up yellow. If you put like a bulbous curtain, it would light

1:20:02

up green. I don't know if anyone actually knew that, but that

1:20:04

worked. It would also have the Pokemon's

1:20:06

cry. So if you put Zoshein in

1:20:08

it -- Yeah. -- I actually don't know what color Zoshein

1:20:10

would light up. I would assume like a silver,

1:20:12

but maybe a blue, but

1:20:15

it would make Zoshein's cry. And

1:20:18

then all they all vibrate.

1:20:20

I'm assuming this vibrate. It doesn't actually say if this

1:20:22

vibrate. I'm assuming this vibrate, so Probably

1:20:26

for Pokemon Go, hopefully not for Pokemon

1:20:28

Sleep

1:20:29

unless it vibrates to wake you up.

1:20:32

That could be

1:20:33

Is it giving him an alarm function?

1:20:34

Yeah. Yeah. They said that they said that Pikachu

1:20:36

will you wake you up. He'll draw, like, Pikachu.

1:20:39

And

1:20:39

that you can earn different alarms. As you

1:20:41

play the game. Oh.

1:20:43

Yeah. So now that,

1:20:45

gosh, this device is big. Maybe that

1:20:47

girl's hand is just very

1:20:48

tiny. No. She

1:20:50

is seven foot eight.

1:20:54

So it sounds like we all got it. It it

1:20:56

did sell out instantly the first day. And then

1:20:58

finally, GameStop and Target got them in stock.

1:21:00

As of recording this, GameStop still

1:21:02

has preorders open. It's

1:21:05

supposed to come out July fourteenth. Or

1:21:07

July fifteen.

1:21:10

I did preorder a couple just because

1:21:12

I do think one sick I

1:21:14

think obviously, you can preorder it right now at least

1:21:16

of of this recording, but I do think the

1:21:19

impulse buy for go players once it's in

1:21:21

a store will make it hard to find

1:21:23

Yeah. Or maybe month or two. So if you

1:21:25

are a go player or if you really wanna get in sleep,

1:21:28

I I do encourage preordering it. I don't

1:21:30

work for the I'm getting no commission off this.

1:21:32

I'm just saying, if if you're looking

1:21:35

for this device, maybe preorder

1:21:37

it because based on the last

1:21:39

two devices, they're

1:21:41

very hard to find otherwise.

1:21:42

For quite a while. And then when they

1:21:44

were easier to find,

1:21:46

they

1:21:46

became hard to find very quickly

1:21:49

after. So fifty

1:21:51

five dollars is is

1:21:54

is a bit of money. But

1:21:56

you're getting a physical hardware device that

1:21:58

works with at least we know

1:22:01

two apps and

1:22:03

one app that's pretty important for us,

1:22:05

which is the sleep app. For

1:22:08

an easy pass though, if you don't play Pokemon

1:22:11

Go or you don't plan on playing Pokemon sleep, a

1:22:13

very easy save your fifty five dollars.

1:22:15

I think sleep is exactly what I

1:22:17

thought they were going to show

1:22:18

though. Like, when they showed it, I was like, There

1:22:21

is no surprises here. Like,

1:22:23

no. Yep. You you unlock different Pokemon.

1:22:25

It can wake you up. Yep.

1:22:27

You get a bar graph when you're done. It's

1:22:31

cool that, like, you get a free

1:22:33

Snorlax with a sleep cap

1:22:35

in Pokemon

1:22:36

Go, I guess, fifty dot fifty dollars

1:22:38

for us.

1:22:38

Fifty five dollars for our

1:22:40

hat. It's not even a medical

1:22:42

program.

1:22:44

Thank you so much. Medical. So,

1:22:48

yeah, if you want sterilize the hat, I don't know

1:22:50

fifty five dollars for just

1:22:51

that. I I hope there was more

1:22:54

rises

1:22:55

with sleep.

1:22:55

I hope there's

1:22:56

have said that there will be other functionality

1:22:59

related to Pokemon Go. Oh,

1:23:01

okay.

1:23:02

They have said that. That was in the trailer.

1:23:04

No idea what it's gonna be, but there

1:23:06

is going to be more sleep functionality related

1:23:09

to Pokemon

1:23:09

Go. That is

1:23:11

coming. I think her hand is tiny.

1:23:15

Her she is eight foot seven.

1:23:20

Pokemon -- She's

1:23:20

holding a plate. -- is exactly

1:23:23

what I expected it to be. Yeah.

1:23:25

And I wish they hadn't changed the logo.

1:23:28

Oh, yeah. And few slides on the first

1:23:30

two generations of Pokemon for the

1:23:33

most

1:23:33

part. And

1:23:34

so you gotta pay extra Hannah. You gotta

1:23:36

pay oh, wait. Maybe that is actually

1:23:38

true. I I want there to be

1:23:41

Wulu in the sleep game. I Right

1:23:43

after Pokemon Sleep was announced, I went and bought

1:23:45

Wulu pajamas off the Pokemon center

1:23:47

website, and I want Wulu in my sleep

1:23:49

game. I was trying to make a very low hanging

1:23:51

fruit joke about paying for extra Pokemon,

1:23:53

but there's no way this game

1:23:56

doesn't have microtransactions. Right?

1:23:58

This is a

1:23:58

microtransaction But then

1:24:00

Well, they could give it to you for free because

1:24:02

they're selling your life's blood to

1:24:05

corporate

1:24:05

opinion. Yeah. Yeah. But even magic carb jump. I think

1:24:07

I think magic carb jump was free. Yeah.

1:24:10

Metric up with gemma's rate. What was the logo

1:24:12

before? It was just I don't

1:24:14

it didn't have the Snorlax, didn't it?

1:24:15

It wasn't as blue. Magic

1:24:18

carb jump, I think I only put five

1:24:20

or maybe six dollars into. There was like

1:24:22

a like first week package,

1:24:25

like, welcome kit or something that

1:24:27

was like five bucks. And I think I bought that.

1:24:30

You always fall for that show.

1:24:32

Yeah. A lot of ways. I wanted to

1:24:34

always fall for, like, this

1:24:36

gets me nothing, but I'm gonna

1:24:38

pay five dollars because you were

1:24:40

like, you didn't have a problem. I don't remember

1:24:42

what it gave me. But because I gave

1:24:44

them five dollars, Pokemon company

1:24:46

believed in select button and

1:24:49

they were like, look at this this

1:24:51

dude gave him five dollars, make

1:24:53

Pokemon sleep. We you've made five

1:24:55

dollars from this app, from this one guy.

1:24:57

We we trust you with more Pokemon

1:24:59

software. That was me. I did

1:25:01

that. I made Pokemon sleep a reality

1:25:03

because I supported it like Matt, this

1:25:05

is how the conversation went.

1:25:07

There are suckers who'll pay for this. Oh,

1:25:09

absolutely. You think we can sucker them

1:25:11

into other things? For sure.

1:25:14

They paid five dollars for a gab where

1:25:16

all you do is jump and you can just

1:25:18

done that for free. Just for

1:25:20

free. And feed

1:25:22

fish and make them jump out of the water,

1:25:24

literally for free at any

1:25:26

lake in a large upper midwestern

1:25:29

area. But this sucker

1:25:31

said, yeah, I'll pay five dollars for that.

1:25:34

I'll play it for two

1:25:35

days. Five dollars I'll

1:25:37

throw it out of fire. Of course, you

1:25:39

know what I paid for.

1:25:40

Microtransaction sleep up

1:25:42

to one million percent. Magic curb

1:25:44

Magic curb jump is a top twenty

1:25:47

Pokemon game, and there's probably at

1:25:49

least eighty Pokemon games.

1:25:51

A lot of people do have fond memories of it.

1:25:55

A good time for a a short while. I

1:25:58

would I would play magic

1:26:00

I was fourth and isle and my choices

1:26:02

were colosseum, Gail of darkness,

1:26:04

and magic her jump. I won't

1:26:07

even think about it. Magic curb

1:26:09

jump is the game I'm picking. You

1:26:11

get like a blue magic curb in that game.

1:26:13

It's tight. You got a pink

1:26:15

one. You get a black magic curb. When

1:26:17

does that gonna come to Scarlet and Violet.

1:26:19

When can I get never?

1:26:21

Those are all regional forms that they aren't

1:26:23

telling

1:26:23

you about.

1:26:26

I'm excited for sleep. think think that's

1:26:31

one other thing about sleep that I'm

1:26:33

curious about. Is that they say

1:26:35

that you can get these different

1:26:37

Pokemon by

1:26:39

sleeping in different sleeping styles?

1:26:42

And I'm very curious if

1:26:44

you're someone who just sleeps consistently in

1:26:47

the same way, which is supposedly the best

1:26:49

way to

1:26:49

sleep, if you're gonna be bad at this game.

1:26:52

Yeah. What does that mean?

1:26:55

What

1:26:55

does sleeping in different sleeping styles

1:26:58

mean?

1:26:58

No idea. There's there's

1:27:00

a lot to be on your back. How would it know?

1:27:02

Well, different timing, different movement.

1:27:05

Yeah. So I have the

1:27:09

Google I

1:27:11

don't even know what they're called. Nest Display

1:27:13

two that has sleep

1:27:15

tracking in it. So

1:27:17

it so the Google Nest

1:27:20

display, I don't even know what they're called.

1:27:22

They're like they're they're they're it's like the

1:27:24

eye. It looks like a tiny iPad that's

1:27:26

like stuck that you can't

1:27:28

pick up and move because it plugs in the wall directly.

1:27:31

Like, and then it shows you, like, your lights

1:27:33

are on or you can be like, hey,

1:27:36

I don't want to activate people's things. You'd

1:27:38

be like, hey, thingy.

1:27:39

Like, turn up the

1:27:41

temperature thingy. Right?

1:27:43

And it shows you if your doors are unlocked, it shows you

1:27:45

all that. The second one that it came out with

1:27:47

had sleep sensing in it. So

1:27:49

there's a little sensor at the top and

1:27:51

there's like a little plastic switch you can technically

1:27:53

cover it with if you're concerned about privacy.

1:27:56

Not that that matters. Google already knows everything about

1:27:58

you. That

1:28:01

it watches you sleep and that

1:28:03

in the morning, it'll say,

1:28:05

like, it's pretty accurate too. It'll

1:28:07

it'll say, like, you moved around from

1:28:09

here. It sends it to your phone too.

1:28:11

Camera? Or is it just

1:28:13

not a camera? Okay. It's

1:28:15

like a IR.

1:28:17

Oh, motion sensor kind of thing.

1:28:19

Yeah. It's like a motion sensor thing.

1:28:21

Uh-huh. Yeah. Not a hamburger.

1:28:25

But it's pretty accurate except for

1:28:27

the fact that, like, sometimes

1:28:30

if I got up it

1:28:32

would read the other person

1:28:34

and still think I'm sleeping. Right?

1:28:36

Because it's it's just looking across the bed.

1:28:39

Yep. And then sometimes it

1:28:42

would be like you moved a lot. And I was like,

1:28:44

no. That was my cat. That

1:28:46

that cat's like another thing. I have dogs.

1:28:49

Right.

1:28:49

That's the reason that the most accurate sleep

1:28:51

trackers are gonna be something like an Apple Watch

1:28:53

or something like a ring, things that are

1:28:56

on your person

1:28:57

specifically. Yeah. And

1:28:58

this is not gonna beat that. It's not gonna

1:29:00

be as accurate as things like that.

1:29:03

Yeah. And I was pretty

1:29:05

like okay with it for a week or two, and then

1:29:07

I just stopped looking at it because I couldn't

1:29:09

I couldn't do anything with the data.

1:29:12

Like, you slept terribly. I didn't

1:29:14

need you to tell me that. I feel terrible.

1:29:17

I'm terrible. I

1:29:19

feel bad. Thanks. And

1:29:21

it's like, we'll sleep better. I was like,

1:29:24

Okay. I didn't,

1:29:26

like, why? Like, I'm sorry I

1:29:28

got into a fist fight at Target today. I don't

1:29:30

know how to sleep better after that. Like, you know what

1:29:32

I mean? It's just like, you can't. It's like, we'll sleep

1:29:34

better. It's like, well, my day was super stressful. don't

1:29:36

know how to not have a super stressful day, and then

1:29:38

think about it before I'm falling asleep. Right?

1:29:40

That being said, I've tried to sleep

1:29:43

things in the past. I've tried to wear like a

1:29:45

wristband thing to bed. I've

1:29:47

tried the app. I can't sleep with an Apple Watch. I

1:29:49

just I just some people can, I

1:29:52

cannot? I'm a

1:29:54

person I learned this

1:29:56

with earrings and I learned

1:29:58

this with rings that I will take

1:30:00

them off in the middle of my in the night

1:30:03

because I'm tired, I'm asleep, but I'm

1:30:05

like, why are these things here? And I will rip

1:30:07

them off. I rip earrings

1:30:09

out of my ears. I rip brings off

1:30:11

my fingers. I, like, I

1:30:14

needed to be in a very specific

1:30:16

way and, like, having something

1:30:18

on my wrist is a no go. Yeah. I can't I

1:30:21

will just pull it off and check it across

1:30:23

the room.

1:30:24

I am excited for sleep, but I

1:30:26

like I said on the show probably a couple weeks

1:30:28

ago, I'm more excited just for the

1:30:30

plus plus itself. Because

1:30:32

even if sleep is a bust for me, I feel like

1:30:35

I still have this product I can use with

1:30:37

another app. And

1:30:39

it's nice that they did make some improvements to

1:30:41

it. Yeah.

1:30:44

So I guess I guess we'll I guess we'll see. I I

1:30:46

can I'll I'll compare the the plus plus

1:30:48

to the Google

1:30:49

thingy. I don't even know what the Google thing's called, but

1:30:51

I'll I'll compare the two

1:30:52

to Google Sleep, probably. Yeah. Absolutely.

1:30:55

I don't know what they call it. Google's

1:30:57

news. Alright. Last bit of news

1:30:59

here. I know there's a bunch of news. I know we really didn't

1:31:01

talk about unite or anything like that. It's just

1:31:03

You

1:31:04

know, it's broken. Yeah. Well, there's but

1:31:05

it's almost slightly fixed now because

1:31:07

they did finally put an emergency hot fix

1:31:10

in Fazazian.

1:31:12

The old emergency hotfix.

1:31:14

Yeah.

1:31:14

Because it was bugged.

1:31:17

We're I I think we're three for three for

1:31:19

pretty good communities this year. Knowing

1:31:22

that we might also get Fennekin and

1:31:24

we also might get Froaky, which alright.

1:31:27

Look, I know there's, like, twenty people out

1:31:29

there that like Fennekin, but a lot of people like

1:31:31

Froki, like credentials very -- I love it.

1:31:34

-- very popular. I think

1:31:36

this is a great community. This

1:31:38

is the slowpoke and Gallarian slowpoke community

1:31:40

on March eighteenth from two to five

1:31:43

And I think this community would have been a

1:31:45

big bus for a lot of people

1:31:47

if it was just slow

1:31:49

poke. Yeah.

1:31:50

But I think doing both is is

1:31:52

way, way more exciting and I think way

1:31:54

more fun. And I think it does keep people

1:31:56

out longer I think they could

1:31:59

have gotten away with just slowpoke because you got

1:32:01

slowpoke, slowbro, slow king, and then you got mega

1:32:03

slowbro. Also just a

1:32:05

fun fact. I saw people being like, Oh,

1:32:07

when slow bro evolves into slow king, it doesn't get

1:32:09

as cool. They they they don't

1:32:11

evolve. Let's let's just

1:32:14

reminder that it split

1:32:16

evolution here. So

1:32:19

you get slow poke into slow

1:32:21

bro or slow poke into slow king

1:32:23

and then you get Gallerian slow poke

1:32:25

into Galerian slow king and Galerian

1:32:28

slow poke into Galerian slow bro and then

1:32:30

you get on top of mega slow

1:32:32

bro which cannot come from Galleria

1:32:36

slow bro, only from yeah. So there's

1:32:38

a lot. I don't think they needed to do

1:32:40

both, but I think doing

1:32:42

both is a huge w. I think think

1:32:44

that's, like, the best way to do it. It's

1:32:46

very exciting. Slowpoke is

1:32:48

a terrible shiny. Yeah.

1:32:50

Slow bro, slow king, golarian

1:32:53

slow poke, golarian evolutions,

1:32:55

all good shinees, very, very good. Slow poke

1:32:57

itself is bad though. Yeah.

1:33:01

It will know the exclusive move surf or

1:33:03

one dollar. You can get access to the

1:33:05

storyline. Three times

1:33:07

catch catching XP, which is really

1:33:10

good because slowpoke is great for

1:33:12

excellent throws. Why

1:33:14

is the candy? For trainers over level

1:33:16

thirty one, incense will last three

1:33:18

hours. An additional special trade

1:33:20

for maximum of two,

1:33:22

twice the catch candy where modules

1:33:25

will Straight from

1:33:25

the one dollar into the free things and

1:33:28

Oh, I mean,

1:33:28

you worry that the cash can be an XP

1:33:30

was gonna be locked behind a dollar

1:33:33

server a second.

1:33:34

Double reading
