To be clear, Well, you know 187 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:39.200 what it does. 188 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.919 I do think this now just sort of like evens 189 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.200 out the team for the year, right, like how so 190 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.799 because you know he's up at noon and we're not. 191 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.679 And now I think this whole twenty four hours has 192 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:50.960 called you. 193 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:51.240 Up with. 194 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.799 After this, when I go to bed at six pm 195 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.840 and then sleep for fifteen hours, we're not going to 196 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.039 be in a great place. 197 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:10.840 Promotionally, or Bobby crant Bush.

The episode, doesn't lap. 211 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.039 I said it so confidently that I was just like, yeah, 212 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:05.360 that's up. 213 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.480 Take my brain, and I can only think of what 214 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.360 things they say something I don't like. 215 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.039 The only thing I can think about right now is 216 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.720 the thing I dislike the most, which apparently is in 217 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:18.600 fact apples. 218 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.120 You've been reduced to the Burton joke and your. 219 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:21.840 Fear of apples, and. 220 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.600 I should have at least gutsed some. 221 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:32.960 Mugs that starts with an EM. I like Pokemon. I 222 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:33.759 found where of. 223 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.200 The ev high without. 224 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.840 I'm catching some ev now. I don't think the platform. 225 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.919 You know, they had these scoffolds, and that's like an 226 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.919 opportunity of platforming. You can't really jump, you could just 227 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.000 kind of fall and roll into platforms, which feels bad. 228 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.120 You kind of get like the worst flutter jump ever later, 229 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:56.080 So you know, I missed opportunity there, I suppose, uh, 230 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:57.279 but yeah, it's fun. 231 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.600 I'm so sorry for everyone in the room that is 232 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.360 already used to our bullshit. 233 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.440 Yeah, yeah, thanks for bearing with us, Isabella. We appreciate it. Fantastic, 234 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:12.759 fantastic twelve podcast points, Isabella. As Sean, you and I 235 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:17.960 haven't really talked about Pokemon legends. Yeah, Pokemon, Jesse, you've 236 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.559 also been you deep in you give people the advice 237 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.679 just throw that starter in the box where they belong. 238 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.519 Star tell me why, because I'm I'm at the point 239 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.159 where I might be making that decision soon. 240 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.120 So okay, I want to make something very clear. This 241 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.960 is not all starter starter Pokemon. But if you got 242 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.480 three that you're not vibing with, get rid of them, 243 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.320 throw them in the bin. There's there's a wide world 244 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.320 to Pokemon. You don't got to stick with your starter. 245 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.120 They don't got to be friends, they just got to 246 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.840 be tools. There are means to wow, and I nickname 247 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.080 all my Pokemon. But sometimes you look at a Pokemon 248 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.039 you're like, you're going in the box and you're not leaving, 249 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.399 You're going nowhere like them. 250 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.879 Yeah exactly, Okay, yeah, yeah, what's straight in the box? 251 00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:01.960 It's not a real pokemonds problematic. 252 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.639 A lot of them do. Jan I think the game's 253 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.120 pretty good. 254 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.720 I think it's really good and I'm happy and I'm 255 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.759 upset about it because I thought I was done and 256 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.759 then we made one of the incentives to reopen the 257 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.639 Pokemon Monday Night Combat Gym, which we hit. So I have, Jesse, 258 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.200 have you checked out like the multi online multiplayer battle, 259 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.639 because I haven't done any of that yet. 260 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.759 I've seen some clips of it, but gotten I want 261 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.399 to finish the game. 262 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.600 And there's like the four way battle Royale or thing 263 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.000 or whatever. But I think there's regular battles as well, right. 264 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.159 That I'm unsure about. I know there's a ranked mode, 265 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.799 that's all I know. Yeah, because I think that's how 266 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.720 you got to get mega grinninga or whatever. 267 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.039 Rights battles. Yeah. 268 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.679 I mostly just want to mob up on the internet 269 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:47.559 and just do an inadvert in three v one on 270 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:54.120 whoever poor Soul comes across us or natural Yeah that 271 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.519 was for you, Mike, Yeah. 272 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.440 Yeah. The further I get in what I'm like, been 273 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.200 a little busy past couple of weeks, so not a 274 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:01.679 time time. 275 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.039 Wow, time to play, can imagine. So I'm like sixteen 276 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.080 hours and I think it's my clock count. Yeah, I'm 277 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.639 taking my time too, So you know, I'm not Pokemon 278 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.480 are kind of high level, but I'm not super far in. 279 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.200 There's you know, there's the occasional awkward presentation thing, but 280 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.960 generally it's like they really win the right direction with 281 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:19.360 this one. 282 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.799 Like across the board, I think I, like I said, 283 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.200 I've been enjoying most of my time I'm around. I 284 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.279 think I'm around the same place as Mikey. Because Mikey, 285 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.440 you you had posted about how bothered you were about 286 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.919 them just skipping a bunch of ranks. 287 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.639 Yeah, but that was a while, Yeah I did. 288 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.120 I kind of liked, uh, the formula they're setting up, like, yeah, 289 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.039 you got to work through the ranks and when does 290 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.519 this happen kind of in them, I forget in the. 291 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.000 Middle probably like ten hours. Yeah, okay, it's like, oh, 292 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.919 actually we need you to be rank f right now. 293 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.879 I gotta say I was pretty excited about that premise 294 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:51.759 of like I'm gonna I'm gonna climb my way up 295 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.919 the ladder. That is what has me excited about the 296 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.000 game right now, and so hearing that is like a 297 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:56.840 little discouraging. 298 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.600 But you guys all still seem to very much. 299 00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:59.240 Like I think. 300 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.399 I think they lets you cook a little bit longer, okay, 301 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.320 and maybe only skip like ten or so. I think 302 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.559 they skip a lot more. 303 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.840 For how much they set up and explain to you 304 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.360 how this system is going to work. 305 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.240 Yeah, yeah, long time. 306 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:14.559 To make sure. 307 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:16.759 Well, they take a long time to explain everything everything. 308 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.360 But especially with the Zier Royale, and then suddenly they're like, ah, 309 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.360 you know what, Frank fea about it. It's like, well, 310 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.759 we spent a lot of time going through this for 311 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.159 you all to be like, hey, you know what, we 312 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.840 got some other things we want to do in st Yeah. 313 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.879 Yeah. I can't get over it, y'all. I can't get 314 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.279 over the lack of voice acting. 315 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.919 It's it's it's just so noticeable, especially when you start 316 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.960 the game. I'm not going to say it still bothers me, 317 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.159 but I think you're right not to get over it. 318 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.559 It is, so you know, even if they went just 319 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.759 one more step, like to take your toe move it 320 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.720 six inches forward and just include like a voice grunt 321 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.679 when your character sure talking, there's complete silence. 322 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.559 It's kind of wacky at this point. Yeah, twenty five. 323 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.720 I think I was telling Grub the thing they should 324 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.320 die least is like how Persona often does it, because 325 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.279 Persona has a lot of textboxes, a lot of dialogues, 326 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.679 Like have have the major cut scenes fully voice and 327 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.720 then yeah, I have have those like efforts and grunts 328 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.159 and stuff for just random textboxes, yea, and that would 329 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.720 be okay, Like it's the kind of thing where like 330 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.279 I'm over it. I kind of just don't care because 331 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.600 it doesn't detract from the gameplay. But I'm never gonna 332 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.840 say that's like acceptable. No, they actually absolutely should put 333 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.799 that effort in. And we know as reasons why they 334 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.360 didn't do that budget constraints, but like again that that's 335 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.240 the company they should just put that. 336 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.840 Yeah, they're the ones setting their budget exactly. 337 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.200 They should put the money in so that game Freak 338 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.399 can do this right, because they did everything else right 339 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.919 I feel in every other regard. So it's just like 340 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.320 it's glaring the problem. 341 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.519 I think I was talking to maybe Jenner Sean. It 342 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.519 was like I saw Vida going around that was comparing 343 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.519 a cut scene. It was from Scarlett and Vite to 344 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.320 the new like the newest Digimon game, and it's hilarious. 345 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.120 How much better the production values are on the Digimon game, 346 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:06.559 which must sell like a twentieth if that of what Pokemon. 347 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.000 Does, and they're still doing all this incredible stuff. 348 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.319 That also reminds me of the art thing that I 349 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.079 didn't say on air, which was it's hilarious how that 350 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.720 you know that's like it's not Banded I Namco developed, 351 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.680 but is published by them, but like the band I 352 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:24.440 Namco Pokemon games like New Pokemon Snap have hilariously higher 353 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.839 production value than game freaks Pokemon games. 354 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.799 So it's definitely like a game freak issue. 355 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.920 In the friend of the website actually confirmed with me 356 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.720 the ranks that you skip are available to climb and 357 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.279 take or go through in the postgame. 358 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.960 Well, there's just like, yeah, there's some kind of game. 359 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:43.160 I said. 360 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:44.640 It was get in that sense that like they maybe 361 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.640 wanted to edit it out of you know a lot 362 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.160 of games are doing that right now, where it's like, 363 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.000 let's maybe get you to the credits, not as soon 364 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.319 as possible, but in a relatively expedited sense, and then 365 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.119 we can put a bunch of stuff after the credits, 366 00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.839 because then people will form their opinion about this game then, 367 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.000 and then all that stuff will feel like a bonus, 368 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.759 even if it is clearly still part of the game. 369 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.799 But like Jay is always gonna be after a like 370 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.640 I don't you know, Yeah, there's ranks after the post game, 371 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.000 but I like the idea of the z to. 372 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:16.920 A better still. Yeah. The biggest change for me though, 373 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.359 is all this just taking place in Loumio City. Does 374 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.759 that bother y'all? You'll like this tighter environment? I like 375 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.319 it too, Yeah, I think it's n Yeah. 376 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.680 Really, what's up, Jesse sous Is? I think maybe my 377 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.559 favorite Pokemon game. 378 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.119 If not, it's up there, okay. 379 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.680 And I think the justification for how you and why 380 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.599 you explore that world is like really compelling. And somebody 381 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:41.160 said this to me early on it was like stuck 382 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.799 with me. Uh, A city in which you can't go 383 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.240 in most of the buildings is just amaze. Sure, and 384 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.319 that's how this feels to me. Sure, Like the NPCs 385 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.119 breeded some life into it, and there's some really good 386 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:56.279 interactions there, eat the mic. There's some really good interactions there. However, 387 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.799 it's just the wild area is like, don't do it 388 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:01.119 for me. 389 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.319 It's like really difficult, like really really challenging. 390 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.319 Yeah, but I don't know. 391 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.319 I keep going back and forth on it like a lot. 392 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.799 So I think that's fair because, yeah, despite Legends being 393 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.559 the substitle, still it's a very different kind of game. 394 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.279 I didn't really vibe with Archias because I felt like 395 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.359 it was kind of an empty open world, like it's 396 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.480 kind of just mostly flat land until you get to 397 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.839 some of the later areas with not a lot to do, 398 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.319 like there's no towns or anything like that. So I think, 399 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:34.720 you know, like it might sound weird to credit them 400 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.359 for this, but if you're going to have a game 401 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.759
