0:01

Hi, I'm loving. This is gaming tech.

0:03

Explain.

0:06

The other day, you were talking about

0:08

WPD. What's

0:10

WPD?

0:11

Words per day, I think. Okay. WPD, so

0:13

think my min WPD is like a thousand.

0:16

A thousand? I, no, a hundred. 3000,

0:18

actually. When did, when was Pokemon released?

0:20

Pokemon was originally released in.

0:24

If I remember correctly, 1995.

0:27

Yeah, way old. There were only 150

0:30

first released. How old were

0:32

you when Pokemon first came out? Yeah, let's figure it out. I

0:34

think I was 8. Okay first

0:37

I want to talk about the system. So,

0:40

there was, it's, the

0:42

first system Pokemon was ever on

0:44

I think it was actually released with,

0:46

was the Game Boy. That

0:48

was Pokemon Red and Blue for America,

0:51

and Red and Green for

0:54

Japan. It came out first as

0:56

a video game. It was

0:58

released in Japan. And

1:01

it The only

1:03

way you could Play it

1:05

really was on the Game Boy and

1:07

still today you can only play

1:09

it on Nintendo consoles. Is

1:11

it owned by Nintendo? a

1:13

Third of it's owned by Nintendo. Another

1:16

third of it's owned by Game Freak.

1:18

And another third of it is

1:20

owned by Creatures. You were just

1:22

looking at a Pokemon card there. Which

1:25

Pokemon is that?

1:26

That is a Lycanroc

1:28

Midnight form. That's why it looks so creepy.

1:31

Okay, and

1:32

what Like, you were referring to something

1:34

on there. How do you know who owns

1:37

a third?

1:38

Because how do I know who owns a third array? At

1:40

the bottom of each Pokemon card it says, Copyright

1:42

2023 Pokemon

1:44

Dash Nintendo, Dash Creatures, Dash Game

1:47

Freak. that's how you do it, that's how you

1:49

know from cards. And I think cards

1:51

were originally also released

1:54

in 1995.

1:57

Along with the games, later quickly

2:00

came the cards, actually. So the

2:02

Pokemon cards came out the

2:03

same year? Yeah, but they looked

2:05

NOTHING like they do now. they

2:08

looked sooooo

2:10

different. What made them different? So,

2:13

what made them different? Like, the edges

2:15

were different. The, like, Pokemon

2:18

themselves were mainly different. And

2:20

then actually, in every,

2:23

um, generation, right now we're in the ninth

2:26

generation Scarlet and Violet

2:29

there's they add more Pokemon. And

2:31

for every generations, there are two

2:33

games. So you have to pick

2:35

which game you want to buy, cause each

2:37

game's 60, which

2:39

is actually a lot. So,

2:42

let's see if I can get them from

2:45

right Top of my head, I've got

2:48

let's see. You're gonna list off the generations? Yeah.

2:51

Red and blue. Alright. It's

2:53

red and blue. Gold and silver..

2:56

Generation 1 was actually just red and blue.

2:58

Yellow was an addition. And

3:01

yellow and green was Japan

3:03

only. Okay. And

3:06

blue

3:06

and Generation One was also known as the

3:08

Canto.

3:09

Yeah, Cantor, the Cantor region was

3:11

generation one because the Canto

3:14

had the original 150 Pokemon.

3:16

But as you may know, the 151

3:18

Pokemon, it's because I think

3:21

they add meuse sometime later. But

3:24

originally there was 150

3:26

Pokemon, the 150th was MU two,

3:29

so now there's 151st,

3:32

which is mu. So,

3:35

and then after Canto was Johto,

3:37

right? Yes. And Johto

3:39

was Gold and Silver. And then after

3:42

Gold and Silver was

3:44

oh, Ruby and Sapphire! And

3:47

then after Ruby and Sapphire

3:50

Was that black and white? I can't remember what black and white was.

3:53

Ruby and sapphire, so primal, ground

3:55

on, primal. Oh,

3:59

diamond and pearl! I forgot about

4:01

those. Now they've re released

4:03

them in shining pearl. in

4:05

brilliant diamond. And

4:08

then, generation five

4:11

Unova!

4:14

That was is that black? I don't think it's black

4:16

and white. Was that black and white? Yes. Okay,

4:18

finally black and white. Six

4:21

is that Colossal? okay Omega

4:24

Ruby those are the Ruby like

4:26

they're they added to some of those games

4:29

Like black and white too so X

4:32

and Y which was the Colossal region

4:35

And then after that, that was on the DS,

4:38

actually 3DS. And

4:41

then Sun and Moon came out.

4:43

I think. And then after Sun

4:45

and Moon was Scarlet and Violet.

4:49

What about Sword and Shield? Oh yeah, before, before

4:51

that it was Sword and Shield. I forgot,

4:53

Sword and Shield, everybody's favorite.

4:56

Do you like Sword and Shield more than Scarlet

4:58

and

4:59

Violet? I haven't played Soaring

5:02

Shield once. Why

5:04

is it everybody's favorite? Well

5:06

Not yours? It's because,

5:08

first of all, we own Violet.

5:11

Okay. And second of all Sora

5:13

and Violet is like a Go do what you want,

5:15

there are three paths. Take them all, beat them, you

5:18

beat all three. And then you beat the last

5:20

little piece, you beat the game. And

5:23

then, but, Sword and Shield is

5:25

you have to do everything in order.

5:28

No matter what. And Sword and

5:30

Shield's got way better graphics and everything. Another

5:33

reason why I'm dedicated to Scarlet

5:35

and Violet is, I started playing,

5:38

Scarlet was the first game I, was the first Pokemon

5:40

game I ever played. So do we have, you said

5:43

we have Scarlet? We have Violet.

5:44

We have Violet. How do you pick between Scarlet and Violet

5:46

when you're picking a game?

5:47

Okay, well, when you're picking a game,

5:50

it's like, between the two Pokemon, every

5:52

game has a legendary Pokemon.

5:54

Okay. So, and

5:57

some extra features, like. Actually

6:00

not every game, Red and Blue, they had Charizard

6:02

in the last place, which are not legendary.

6:05

But, how do you pick, like, Storm and Shield. Like,

6:08

do you want Zacian with the cool storm

6:10

in his mouth, or Zombizentr with the shield

6:12

on his face. And then there's Hero of

6:14

Battleformed, I love Hero of, Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta,

6:17

and then there's the, and then there's Crown Zamazenta,

6:20

Crown Zhaoxian, Hero of Many Battles

6:22

Zhaoxian. So basically, you want the

6:24

sword Pokemon, or the shield Pokemon.

6:27

That's the main difference, that's, and

6:29

then another thing is for some of the other games, it

6:31

was also like, some of the gems,

6:34

if you want to fight the ghost gem, or

6:37

the, like, which one do you want to fight, the fighting gem

6:39

or the ghost gem? If you want the ghost gem, you have

6:41

to get shield. If you want to fight the fighting gem,

6:43

you gotta get sword. And then

6:45

I think there's ice, ice gem

6:47

and rock gem. And then like,

6:50

for Scarlet and Violet, the only difference was, the

6:52

only difference was the professors, Professor

6:54

Seda and Professor Turo. The

6:57

future Pokemon and the ancient Pokemon,

7:00

those are two, those are another two differences.

7:03

Like, you want the future Pokemon, or do you want the ancient

7:05

Pokemon? Like, you can't catch future Pokemon, Pokemon

7:08

Scarlet, but you can catch ancient

7:10

Pokemon, Pokemon Violet. And

7:13

like, Coridon, and then there's Coridon and Miridon.

7:16

Coridon is an ancient Pokémon who

7:18

just jumps around and is really cute,

7:21

kind of. And Miridon

7:23

Miridon actually doesn't run. He uses his jet

7:25

engines and flies around,

7:28

you hover around, and once you've completed

7:30

enough of the Arvin challenges, you can climb

7:33

and stuff with both Miridon

7:35

and Coridon. But if you If you get Mirrodon,

7:38

you can't bring him to Scarlet and ride him.

7:40

And if you get Coraline,

7:42

you can't bring him to Violet and ride him. But

7:44

you can put future Pokemon into

7:47

Pokemon Scarlet and ancient

7:49

Pokemon You just can't catch

7:51

them in the games. And another difference

7:54

is the Pokemon you're more likely to catch..

7:57

So, that's the only game that you've played

7:59

is Scarlet and Violet.

8:00

Yeah, I've played Scarlet and Violet but I'm about

8:03

to play Sword. I

8:06

mean, I already have Legendary and Shield, so

8:09

I don't, I traded it through

8:11

Pokemon Home. Which is another big

8:13

thing! Pokemon Home What is Pokemon Home?

8:16

So we, it's, basically, there are two

8:18

Pokemon Homes. Pokemon Home Switch

8:20

and Pokemon Home Phone. And they

8:22

transfer through each other. You transfer Pokemon

8:25

to Pokemon Home from other Switch

8:27

games on the Switch version. On phone

8:29

version. You

8:32

trade Pokemon in, like, the GTS,

8:34

like, I want to trade this for that, and

8:36

you can take up trade deals. In the Wonder

8:39

Box, where you put Pokemon in, you have

8:41

no idea what you're getting out.

8:43

And then room trades, which, the only way

8:45

that room trades are really fun, is if you have

8:47

a premium plan, that costs

8:50

a bunch of money.

8:52

Oh.

8:52

So So Pokemon

8:54

Home is kind of just, like, your

8:58

Your own sort of portfolio

9:01

of Pokemon that you've collected

9:02

in game. Basically, except the only

9:04

way to get them is you transform your boxes, transfer

9:07

boxes into your Pokemon

9:09

home box. And with your Pokemon

9:11

home box, that's actually how you transfer Pokemon

9:14

from Sword to Shield, or Skrull

9:16

to Violet. I see. And then

9:18

speaking of So, it's kind of the

9:19

same way that you have cards in real life.

9:21

Yeah, and you trade With different boxes, and then

9:23

you can trade them. Can you trade them with other people?

9:26

Yes. In phone edition

9:28

only, you can trade with other people And

9:30

in Switch there's no way you can trade between games.

9:33

And, how do you catch

9:35

Pokemon in the game? In Pokemon Home?

9:37

In the Switch game. In the Switch Pokemon

9:40

Home? Yeah. You

9:41

can't. Well, I mean like, how do you catch

9:43

a Pokemon? Like,

9:44

how do you even get one? You have to play

9:46

the games. Okay, and when you're

9:48

playing the game, how do you catch one? You toss

9:50

a Pokeball at it. You toss a Pokeball? Yeah.

9:54

So, like, part of the game is you're just walking

9:56

around tossing Pokeballs?

9:58

No, you have to, you have

10:00

to battle them. You have to battle

10:03

Pokemon? It, it, like, I, I haven't

10:05

figured out how to crouch and

10:07

then throw the Pokeball. I mean, I used to

10:09

know how to do it, but somehow,

10:11

after not playing Pokemon

10:14

Scarlet for five months, and

10:16

then switching to Pokemon Violet, over

10:18

that time frame, I lost a little,

10:20

a little bit of knowledge. From

10:22

Sword and Shield, you have to transfer

10:25

them from the Pokemon Home, which

10:27

is actually free, which is really

10:29

good, and it, so

10:32

that's how you transfer them, Sword to Violet, because

10:34

like, in Pokemon Violet, you can trade with your

10:36

friends, but you can't trade with your Sword friends

10:38

or your Shield friends, but you can trade with your Scarlet friends

10:41

and your Violet friends, Like,

10:43

I battle a friend who plays Skrullet

10:45

all the time in Violet.

10:49

Speaking of trading, um,

10:52

one of the, like, trading

10:54

started back when

10:57

they first released it. Because how

10:59

do you trade when you first release a Game Boy?

11:01

You, you got no Wi Fi! You

11:04

got no Wi Fi. But how

11:06

you do it, you get this really long cable,

11:08

you go to your friend's house, you plug into their Game

11:10

Boy, you plug into your Game Boy, you both go on

11:12

your Game Boy and you say, Trade. Trade

11:15

this Pokemon. Accept trade. And

11:18

then you and your friends traded. Nah. And

11:20

do you think it worked well or was it

11:22

buggy or? It works really well.

11:24

It works really well? Yeah. Okay. Because

11:27

if it was an off brand it wouldn't have worked well, but

11:29

because Nintendo created the cable,

11:32

Nintendo created the console, like

11:34

Pokemon, the game fits like right

11:36

around the console. Okay.

11:39

And, Nintendo really

11:41

wanted people to buy the

11:43

Game Boy console, and so

11:45

they, They encouraged people

11:47

to buy it with the Pokemon

11:49

game. Well,

11:51

I think that was, that's only for Switch.

11:54

That was only for the latest Switch, the Switch

11:56

Lite, the Switch OLED, soon to be the Switch

11:59

Pro. I think that was only for those because,

12:01

now that I think about it, I don't think, I think you could buy

12:03

a Pikachu,, edition

12:06

Game Boy, but I don't think you got the

12:09

game. I'm pretty sure

12:11

you could buy a Pokemon version, but you

12:13

couldn't get the Pokemon game. And

12:15

back then, first of all, the console

12:18

only cost like $80. Now

12:20

it costs 200 and what, 200?

12:22

Like $95. Back

12:24

then it only cost $80. And the game

12:26

pack, were like 20 bucks. Yeah. So

12:29

it was like a hundred doll, like so

12:31

better days. Yeah. When things were more affordable

12:34

and I mean, although it was

12:36

worse, you could still just pay a hundred dollars

12:38

just to buy the game and and

12:41

the console, but now you have

12:43

to pay $350 to

12:45

buy a $60 game and a $295

12:47

console or $250 gross

12:50

if you want The less valuable

12:52

switch light or. 410

12:56

you want the super expensive OLED

12:59

and the 60 game. Yeah.

13:01

Anything else about the different generations

13:03

of Pokemon? Oh! What's

13:05

your favorite generation besides Scarlet

13:08

and Violet?

13:09

It's hard to pick between yellow.

13:13

I mean, like, I have a favorite generation for

13:16

I have a favorite game for every generation.

13:18

Oh, okay. But I don't have a favorite

13:20

generation, really. There are some games you can talk

13:23

about. So, There are some extra

13:25

games. Like Pokemon

13:27

Arceus. That is a really

13:29

big one right now. It's basically back

13:31

then of Pokemon, but

13:34

like the Pokeballs didn't look the same. And you had

13:36

to craft them, and they looked way

13:38

weirder and different. You had to craft

13:40

your own Pokeballs, like you couldn't buy them, you

13:42

had to craft them. And they were way different

13:44

types, and they, and then you

13:46

throw them in Pokemon. And at the end of the game

13:48

you gotta catch Arceus, who

13:51

created the Pokemon world.

13:52

And Arceus is like, He is

13:54

a type of Pokemon?

13:56

No. No? He is

13:58

a Pokemon. And the types, like

14:00

the normal, all that stuff. He can

14:02

be any type. You have to put a special

14:05

plate. Depending on what type you want him to be,

14:07

the plate you want him to be. If you're wondering, if

14:09

you're wondering how you get rusted shield, rusted

14:12

sword, the plates, all that stuff

14:14

in sword and And like, the

14:17

admin stones, and the pearls,

14:19

or whatever you use for Palkia.

14:22

In Scrum Valley, you actually have to go do

14:24

auctions. You have to purchase

14:26

it, you have to bid. And you have to win the

14:29

auctions. And if

14:31

you don't want to have to win a bunch of auctions

14:33

before it appears, you have to do this thing called,

14:35

set your switch's time 72 minutes ahead.

14:38

You, you heard this hack. Does this hack actually

14:41

work? Yes.

14:42

It really works? Yes! No way. Tried it.

14:45

Does each generation have different cards?

14:48

Oh, yeah. Each

14:50

generation has a different whole

14:54

Polyval, Scrum

14:57

Vial. Scrum

14:59

like, so, Sword and Shield was humongous.

15:02

So was Sun and Moon. So was Black and

15:04

White. Like, I even have apps on

15:06

my phone to tell me all of

15:09

them.

15:10

Okay, so, let's say that, like,

15:12

tell me a Pokemon that came out in Generation 1.

15:15

Like Pikachu, right? Oh yeah, Pikachu. Everybody

15:18

knows Pikachu. It's in

15:20

almost, it's in every single

15:22

game. There's not a single, there's

15:25

almost not a single Gachi. I,

15:27

there's also a game that Pikachu's not in. Okay.

15:29

Let me

15:29

ask, let me ask the question though. What does

15:33

each generation come out with, like a new

15:35

version of Pikachu, or is it the same

15:38

Pikachu for all the

15:40

generations?

15:42

It's the same Pikachu for all the generations

15:45

except sometimes they come with like

15:47

knockoff of the old Pokemon like Wug

15:49

Trio is Dug Trio, but

15:51

basically underwater and Wiglet

15:54

is Diglet, but underwater I feel like Pokemon just got

15:56

lazy when they did it and

15:59

Pommy Basically looks like

16:01

Pikachu, but way cuter.

16:04

I really like Pommy over

16:07

Pikachu

16:11

I in every generation you

16:13

have all of the p or all the Pokemon from

16:16

the previous generations Plus

16:17

new ones? No, you've not of all, all

16:20

the previous ones. Oh. So

16:23

there are lots of Pokemon that are not,

16:25

that were in store shield, that are not

16:27

in current. And Violet, it's

16:29

a main, like, the old, like from

16:31

back in Sun Moon, the lowland forms, those

16:34

are like, you can't catch forms. So

16:36

you can get Alolan forms with Alolan.

16:39

Alolan? What's that?

16:41

It's from Alola. What's Alola?

16:44

It's a sun and moon region. Okay.

16:47

So Galar Pokemon and Alolan

16:49

Pokemon and Palladian Pokemon, you can only

16:51

catch in the Palladian and

16:53

the Alola region. But you can have

16:55

them in the, in

16:58

Soaring Shield's sun and moon. Actually,

17:00

if it's from a future generation, you can't

17:02

bring it to the past generation. But you can,

17:05

but, I was saying, like, you can

17:07

have Galarian Pokemon

17:09

in Scrum Violet. Yeah.

17:12

And you can have a lone Pokemon in

17:14

Scrum Violet. Except you can't catch Galarian

17:16

Pokemon or lone Pokemon in Scrum Violet. But you can

17:18

in the Indigo Disc, the expansion.

17:20

So, and then, but, not

17:23

all the, all the Pokemon carry over, like, Rhyhorn.

17:26

He was not in Scar and Violet. He's

17:28

in the expansion, but he was not in Scar and Violet. Like, you

17:31

can have him in the game with Pokemon Home

17:33

Transfers, but you can't get

17:35

him by catching And

17:38

that's with all the legendaries. That's

17:40

with most of the Pokemon from previous generations,

17:43

actually. If I pull a Pokemon

17:45

right now on my phone, you'd see that not

17:48
