HANNAH IS BACK, the podcast episode is saved

[@Scaz107]

The idea of doing all the legendary fights like Bloodmoon Ursaluna and being able to catch them easily in a ball of my liking would make me actually go catch them. Otherwise I'm one of the listeners that hasn't caught them because I just never went back to do it.

[@UncalibratedAimbot]

Sceptile, Cycliczar, and Orthworm are the three mons that learn Shed Tail, according to Bulbapedia. Regarding catching legends in past games: I would hold off catching them in case I ever want to do competitive but then never joined any tournaments so I eventually just caught them without worrying about IVs Regarding PoGo in Hawaii, it’s pretty good within the cities (or at least was when I went in 2018, can’t imagine it’s worse). On the beaches, spots can be sparse but that’s to be expected. I hope you have a great time!

[@orangeoblivion]

100% right about the legendaries in the Ultra Wormhole and in Dynamax Adventures. I barely caught any of them because I saved them to shiny hunt. I loved solving Snacksworth’s puzzles and catching them all in cool pokeballs.

[@supersaiyankirby]

The weirder thing that bothered me about the disparity between the quest/battle for Bloodmoon vs the other legends isnt just the battle but that Perrin has that Snap-esque minigame beforehand with Bloodmoon as a boss and then you never do that again. I thought for sure that Perrin would have you do other photo quests with her that would lead to legends, especially with the paradox legends since she gives you that quest, but thats basically the extent of her role as a more active character. Even if not for every legendary, I was really hoping there'd be a few more photo quests with her.

[@LordAryu]

Totally agree. Having legenadary, or even special mons like bloodmoon be available with a cool questline like that makes the hunt so much more worthwhile. Like it always felt like cop out that these deities from various other regions just line up for the protagonists to chuck a ball their way.

Hannah's Go++ under her bed reminded me of how my Go++ SAVED MY HOUSE. So everytime the Go++ connects to Pokemon Go, it vibrates a little and I was in my downstairs bedroom and heard it vibrate. It sounded like it was on/under the bed. I removed everything off the bed, still couldnt find it. Went to look under the bed, discovered that we brought back bedbugs from a recent trip to Chicago. Exterminator said we caught it super early. My Go++? Upstairs on the floor on my plastic chair mat. It was vibrating so loudly on that plastic mat, I thought it was downstairs.

[@Jerryduque97]

my hope for the legendaries is that, after they finish all the starters, they release them as 7 star with a small chance of being shiny (except for the rayquaza from the anime). maybe even create a whole 8* tier for legendaries only ( even though people would cry even more because it would in theory be more difficult)

I'm happy seeing the returning legendaries in the overworld. But making them static encounters made me sad that they didn't get to "show off" in battle. Because I feel like every other static encounter with their huge HP bar had their time to shine. The Titans, Koraidon/Miraidon, Loyal Three, Ogerpon, BM Ursaluna, Terapagos and Pecharunt - they all got their stand-alone battles before you could catch them. The returning and the paradox legendaries are just kinda there. After the BBQ and pokedex grind, I wanted to see something more special from them. There was throwback music at least, so I guess there's the fan service. The only ones I'm willing to suffer for in catching is the Treasures of Ruins because my goodness were they formidable. Their ability and ruination move on top of their other attacking moves, it was a struggle. If you aren't prepared, they could wipe your entire team. Which is great because I wanted to see how formidable they were for them to be sealed shut. Also, finding the stakes was fun, it really made me run around the entire region.

[@AdeptCharon]

I dream of a feature where Sleep streams the campsite to a big screen when I'm not using the app

[@AdeptCharon]

"There were some places in Paldea that I've never seen before" Can not relate. I am unable to play an open world Pokémon game without turning into Charoomba and checking every inch of the entire map for dozens of hours 💀💀

[@KingKuron_]

Had no idea that Horizons on Netflix has new episodes! Will be checking them out soon. Also, a Netflix 'series' I can recommend is The Toys That Made Us. It's a docuseries about toy franchises and how they developed over the years.

[@DetectiveKittyCat]

Glad to have you back Hannah! Missed you

[@just_jude_live]

Lol the start. I missed Hannah!

[@veryprofessionalpokemontrainer]

Very Professional 👌it’s very good for Young!!!

[@AdeptCharon]

There's no way we don't know the release date of ZA before worlds is over.

[@AdeptCharon]

Excuse me Steve, I've caught every legendary in Ultra Sun, and most of them in Ultra Moon (some of them I did hunt for shiny in that one!). I've also caught everything in DAs in my main file, and a slew of random ones in other files, purely because it meant less chance of legendaries showing up in the DA that I'm not looking for! AND I caught about all but like THREE of the Snackworth legendaries in Violet (unlocking the insane amount of music for ranked battles has kept me sane through Reg F and early Reg G!)

[@AdeptCharon]

AND YES looking by the clues is the fun part of Snacksworth 😊

[@AdeptCharon]

"My GO Plus plus is somewhere under the bed" The revolution is starting!

[@AdeptCharon]

I only started playing Masters when Cheren and Bianca were added with cool outfits in recent months. ...I got the full free 15k gems when that update dropped! Didn't realize I was ahead of Steve! ...but more importantly... (exaggerating) WHAT DO YOU MEAN there's no reason to do the story?? I did the story because I wanted to see what the story was!

[@itschris619]

At the 45:50 mark you mentioned DBZ Dokkan Battle and it's actually a pretty fun gacha game that's almost at its 10th anniversary. Gameplay can be a bit simplistic but being able to collect my favorite characters and their forms is really nice and the animations have been great

[@PunishedPrince]

Honestly I’d be beyond satisfied if they just showed who the ZA starters are at worlds

[@KingKuron_]

Wait, for the Destiny Mark thing in SV, you *need* to go to the Pokémon Center first? ...I don't think I did that at all during my birthday in April... woops, maybe that's why I had some rotten luck.

[@PKMNcast]

Yes, she needs to acknowledge it’s your birthday to trigger it for the day

[@vaniladragon]

I am recordi oh wait no I'm not. bah bah bah

[@mikebraun1404]

lol

[@AdeptCharon]

EVOLVING MY PUPITAR IN SLEEP as we speak!

[@FairyPhantasia]

Oh wow My research % just split between other areas 😮 since my Lapis is max at 60% This changes a bit for me.

[@speedonthis]

Pokémon Masters doesn't need to make a ton of money when they have so many other streams of revenue.

[@AdeptCharon]

52:28 "Dragon week" Excuse you? That's Powerhouse Pokémon week if anything! Beldum ain't a dragon, by type or egg-group 🧐🧐

[@tcClockworth]

Welcome back Hannah!

[@BryanBXx]

I much rather catch pokemon traditionally than throw pokeballs in the overworld that’s arguably even more boring and even less fun

[@Mittens9231]

We need Giovanni in his sharspeedo

[@Serawrtonin]

wooohoooo!!!!! see you soon in Hawaii!!!!!

[@PKMNcast]

🏝️✈️

[@Harerazer]

The reasons I still love Scarlet/Violet raids 1 I know how long it should take 2 I know my rewards The most important reason #3...I could lose (I only do Raids online with randoms). This makes winning actually matter to me.

[@jaywantstobattle5046]

Dude I just want a game to hold us over until Z-A comes out. Like just give us a remake of Johto for the Switch..

[@UltraBall23]

SV

[@azjei]

1:02:33 Guilty. 😅

[@darrenmcfadden6744]

Indelible

[@AdeptCharon]

Ok but what about.... if all the legendaries were roaming and fled on sight?

[@AdeptCharon]

What about if the game SAVED when the battle starts, so if you mess up you can't just try again without doing some convoluted thing for it to respawn... the next day!

[@AdeptCharon]

😈

[@treverleach19]

First!
