I love that Gholdengo is good competitively so all the people who hate on it can’t avoid it.

You could trade for alolan pokemon in lets go pika. By giving the kanto version of the same mon.

Awesome podcast 🙌🏽😎

About the mechanic talked about 20 mins in approx, you should check a game called Evoland.

Dusty is right, hearing the mons, hearing the flute as your ride pokemon appears, it’s a full experience, instead of a soundtrack every 10 seconds, you get immersed in a world of pokemon, it’s a refreshing change, soul silver art hates monkey mons and loves turn based battles, sometimes I just can’t listen to the discouraging rants silver spews. It’s just Pokemon bro, let it be beautiful.

how easy do vgc players want to get teams? You can literally type a code in and use any team u desire online…. If your crafting one yourself it takes no longer than a few hours which makes sense because pokemon is all about training up your pokemon, if you could just spawn in a pokemon that has max ivs and evs at level 100 it would deminish every other pokemon

guys there hasn’t even been 1 trailer yet…. enough with the doom soul😭

14:24 Ain't that just sonic generations😂

for some reason flapple just feels like someone in pokémon company said “let’s make applin the most generic cool evolution that everyone will like!” But, the actual reason I dislike it might be that it looks more like middle evolution. appletun even makes more sense to me, it’s a fcking apple pie, like what more could you even want?!

2:53:17 when lumi said lazy river I did the Rock stare when he said hire people to build lazy river

So tell me about this battle league you guys have, I’ve been thinking about being a member just to participate and dominate.

Wait this is just a glorified reupload? :(

Gen 9 to me felt the closest to Gen 1 out of all the recent generations. I love to analyze the designs especially by generation. And I’ve felt this way since release. Maybe stylistically different due to technology difference. But conceptually these all seem simple/animalistic/however you want to describe it. And that design Ethos feels very core to the first set of games. Just my thoughts :) Always happy to have more Mons at the end of the day. Thank you guys for the pod! 🫡

Congratulations on two years! Happy birthday Lumi and Soul!

Love this! Hopefully Gen 10 will give us more fossil mons no matter where we go so we can explore more PokePalaeontology

I mean the Wartortle tail makes sense because Blastoise wasnt even supposed to be the final evolution in that line lol

Goldhengo is borderline blasphemy I consider its design a crime against humanity Ugly ahh surfing cheese-string It’s very existence offends me (This is only slightly hyperbolic 😂)

Funny story, when I went to pick up my copy of Violet at midnight release, I guess the Gamestop employee never marked it as I picked it up. So like a year later an employee tells me I never picked it up, and allowed me to just get the refund back lol.

I love this podcast. I’ve been listening since the third episode and look forward to it each week. I so badly wanted a podcast where people just talk about Pokemon

Happy birthday & Happy anniversary! Thank you for keeping pokemon discussion alive, it keeps me entertained whilst I'm at work 😊

49:03 lemme try to defend these Dudunsparce stays good to its concept of being rare but bad. And it's a joke on yall. Dudun is that drum roll thing to meme more Maushold , palafin and pawmo imo were evolution based on the concepts and not the animal. Maushold is on mouses ability to breed rapidly. Palafin is saying , you don't need to be special for being an hero. You just need a heart. Changing anything will totally defeat it's concept Pawmo is based on the animal who is known as one of the least genetically diverse animal As you said they are experimental I won't have anything to defend brambleghast tho

Ursaring is plain but it looked complete to me, boltund on the other hand looks super unfinished

I found it!✨️🔥💧🍃 The context: 17:31😂

What I would like to see if they did do an all regions game, which would be insane, is like a level setter for each gym and have the gym leaders ace be set at 15% above the cap (rounded up). Have it like: Gym 1: All pokemon set to level 10, except the Gym Ace which is level 12 Gym 2: All pokemon set to level 15, except the Gym Ace which is level 18 Gym 3: All pokemon set to level 20, except the Gym Ace which is level 23 Gym 4: All pokemon set to level 25, except the Gym Ace which is level 29 Gym 5: All pokemon set to level 30, except the Gym Ace which is level 35 Gym 6: All pokemon set to level 35, except the Gym Ace which is level 41 Gym 7: All pokemon set to level 40, except the Gym Ace which is level 46 Gym 8: All pokemon set to level 45, except the Gym Ace which is level 52 It would make it more open world as you can challenge the gyms in any order You can do a similar thing for evil boss battles. Have the first time you encounter them be like Gym 1 and the last time you encounter them be like Gym 8 For the Elite 4 and Champion have no level setter. Your pokemon will be whatever level they are in battle. The Elite 4 has all their teams be level 45 with their ace at 55. With the teams level increasing by 5 levels each time a Champion in any region is defeated. To a max of 80 for tier standard Pokemon and 90 for their ace. The Champion has all their teams be level 55 with their ace at 65. With the teams level increasing by 5 levels each time a Champion in any region is defeated. To a max of 90 for tier standard Pokemon and 100 for their ace.

Yeah F Finizen!!

What about a Pokémon game where it’s all regions, all one big story. Age up all the original characters and have some new gym leaders in their respected regions. Red, Blue, Brendan, the Professors, age up them up a bit to show a time lapse. Have team rocket, magma, and Aqua all team up. Bring back Giovani and all the Antagonists. But they are all led by Silver who went away to discipline himself to take over the Pokémon world. He has taken out taken out all the protagonists who you now how to defeat to prove yourself capable enough to take them out. All the trainers in the evil organization use battle items to make them harder fights. They don’t use the typically “evil” Pokémon anymore. They’ve done their research and they use the stronger Pokémon of the region you battle them in, better IV and EV’s. Kanto and Johto are grouped together for boss battles since previously they overlapped. Each boss of that region has their respected legendaries that they’ll release to the wild after Silver is officially defeated. You can have this story either start in gen 10 or end in gen 10 but you’d have to go through all previous regions, they’re gym leaders and elite 4. There’s a lot to pack in but it’d be fun to have a large overall story like this. And maybe not as sporadic as I explained lol

Pokemon Song and Dance actually sounds clean though 💯

Omg Soul is truly Khu’s strongest soldier. This man will defend him to the grave (secretly I have a theory he IS Khu)

Super Mario odyssey transitions from 3D in super Mario nes 2d style flawlessly and smooth , Nintendo proved already the hardware can handle it . If pokemon can integrate this style into the games and has a lot of potential if they use gba or ds sprites for it.

As long as the Meowscarada line is in S I am A OK

Something I've always wanted in games is a personalized story something that is completely different for everyone one dramatic plot twist for one person happens to a different person with another character and I think Pokemon is one of the most fitting franchises to do this

Ben 10 Gen 10 I can already see the memes flashing between my eyes

I feel like what they should do is a few things to start off and I'll just say a few. Number one is definitely to make it where you can at least go to small areas of every single region like maybe the legendary encounter areas or the Battle frontier. Number two I could definitely see like you said his voice acting but one that I think is even bigger is not having a DEX cut in this because it should be a celebration with every single Pokemon since that whole thing about storage is kind of a fat lie because it won't take as much storage as they say. But I have more

Gamefreak should create a Battleworld scenario where all the generations are fighting to save their respective universes 😂

The tiers are some of my favorites. Congrats on 2 years boys! Can't wait for many more years to come. You guys are the best

47:04 the biggest L for Violet is the the Swelot version exclusive lmao

You guys where my top podcast this year and I'm apparently in the top 0.6 percent of fans lol love those teir lists

The cut on Soul tho >>>

Hawaii is a state not a territory but actually an illegally occupied nation 😬

Soul's new hair looks awesome 💯

The real Gen 9 tier list is coming in 2025!

Dusty tells the others that the ranking is based on design, not competitiveness or nostalgia and then completely drops that to hate on Seaking 😂

As long as the release schedule remains the same as they simultaneously also try to make the games more technologically advanced, the games will continue to be average at best.
