 Wake up, face to be a good day Welcome to the Pokeballs podcast everyone My name is Leigh, one of your hosts and I'm joined by Co-host, live in person here this week IRL podcast Scott, how are you doing mate? I am very good We've had a great weekend so far Has been good It's a little bit different than the usual podcast obviously We are here at the European National Championships in London Which is running this weekend, I've been commenting And Scott has been playing so we've been having a great weekend mate Yeah, it's been pretty wild You've been casting, how's it been? It's been really good mate, really good The event has just flown over though The production value of this For those who don't know the events They've always been good but it feels like Where we've had such a large increase in numbers The production value just keeps going up and up They have four main stages up for the production They have Go, VC, TCG and Unite on the end It looks awesome, they've done amazing They've even got down the middle of all the tables They've got a victory road road that they've made To the trophy After the trophy it's really cool They've done really well this year It's very close to what we're... It's a huge scale as well It's very close to worlds Have you seen the Unite stage as well? Oh mate, the Unite stage It looks awesome, so cool Yeah, it's really exciting It's just flown by mate This is Sunday morning when we're recording this So we've got Championship Sunday This afternoon kicking off later With Pokemon Go, TCG, Unite And then VG will be ending up So we'll be finishing the day It's really been a lot of fun Just flown by, it's been really fun Just like, full on, like normal Yeah, I mean, as I said yesterday This is the first time I've actually, it felt like I've been to an event and the day's flown by Normally these events, they're brutal We've been shattered yesterday We were so tired and then Friday was the same I just went home But normally it's a long day You start at nine Like eight, nine o'clock at night Short lunch break, we had 45 minutes And you didn't even eat You didn't have time to eat Friday literally flew by I was so happy when I got home It was just such a good day Even the games felt like they dragged The opponents I played were super nice Super friendly Got some conversations going and stuff It was just like What Playing Pokemon is all about Like the company, like seeing people I hadn't seen in ages as well Was just like, this is what This is why I play the game It's such a good event, just for that And if there's any one of you watching this And thinking, oh, I might like to do that There'll be one next year for sure I don't know where it will be In Europe, so I'll be in Europe Somewhere, but always worth traveling out to If you can You can get a ticket And the Pokemon Center as well So that was very cool But yeah, it's been Crazy and I can't believe it's nearly over I can't believe it, but We've still got one more day to go One more day, championship finals Always good, we've got some good games lined up Yeah, nah, I mean It's very good The reason why I don't eat though, mate Through events, it's the same reason When I'm playing in a tournament If I eat anything, and it doesn't matter I've kind of experimented over the years I've been playing, I can eat A high protein kind of meal Or I can eat High protein low carb Or I can eat just a carb meal Something standard, or a high fat meal None of that seems to work I always feel Very lethargic afterwards And it's not like I'm eating a pig And being You know, oink along Whatever It's hard, it's weird How food just like eats you And I was so tired after 8 months I kind of want to risk doing that Because you don't want to be tired in front of a camera I don't feel like sharp or anything I feel like it's not the best And I would never advise anyone to do it But just for me personally, I just can't eat I'll keep myself hydrated With plenty of water and stuff I can maybe have like a bit of fruit Like an apple or something would be fine But other than that I'd never tend to when I need to be So it's not that I didn't have I did have time to grab stuff I just never choose to And then I just kind of like Pig out like Naruto at the end of the day And then fall asleep It's just how my brain works mate Thank you about, okay So if any of you have watched the stream We've had some interesting moments Ladies have obviously been amazing And yesterday they had a really fun segment Which we watched last night About the pronunciation of Pokemon It was hilarious To be honest with you Because of all like There's always a hot debate How do you pronounce certain Pokemon You think back to when The Tapu Pokemon come out And the Ultra Beast Nihilego Nihilego Nihilego Everyone was like They introduced this fun segment way How do you pronounce this Pokemon And it was you, Lou and Costell were up on stage And honestly it looked like they're having such a fun time It was, it was a lot of fun As bad as I did through it And my brain just went blank Because I'm normally alright Like I'm not the best with pronunciations I got my own way to say certain things And I'm the first one to admit But I never need to pick about stuff But yeah My brain went a bit spaghetti on stage yesterday But it made for good entertainment And it was, it was good fun You got a chance, you need to watch it We might upload it to the channel It was very fun But there was a bit where I thought it was really funny Lou, one of the castors She was like She really likes Reggie Leckie And she was like, oh I found out this weekend That it's not pronounced Reggie Leckie It's pronounced Reggie Leckie And we were like, you just said the same thing twice And you just said the same thing twice Reggie Leckie And Garganacal Garganacal Garganacal Garganacal That's brutal Yeah, it's pretty But I mean, just said how you want We know what you mean I think you should go on through and just butcher all the pronunciations No, I would like to work Another production I've already done enough butchering So we'll see No, so At least we don't have any pronunciations To worry about for another couple of years At least till Gen 10 comes around And then we'll have that Although the DLC Is coming around quite soon So there'll probably be some new Pokemon In that we know we've got a few new ones coming Which is pretty cool So the event itself If you will be watching this Hopefully there was a giveaway over the weekend For the Gavin Michaels Palafin When this goes up, the event will have finished On the 17th, so it's actually the Monday So there's not really much point of Mentioning it, but Hopefully you did get it If you caught any of the event, that was a nice mystery gift To get as well as part of the event That was running, but if you did watch any of the streams Of the weekend, be that for God, TCG Unite or anything like that Let us know what you thought of the event It'd be great to get your thoughts on What your favourites were People are probably screaming for that The Unite fans are Baller, they were poppin' off And the commentators as well The commentators had their Dazzled, shiny suits They always dress up for the occasion I honestly think Unite has the potential To be bigger than everything really Because it's like I think if the game was better, I think it would I'm not bashing Unite, but I think there is An obvious problem with No matter what you do in the early game It feels like It's always decided by that And I think if they do stuff to Balance it out Did you see a team that won yesterday One of the ones, I don't know if it was Seven Finals or whatever But they literally They dunked last minute as a time run Out of one by three points That's what's exciting about it But what I quite like about Unite Is that compared to other mobs Where as with League The game has won 40 minutes Even like an hour long It's too long, but you know it's going to be So that's why I think it has a lot of potential It keeps that excitement Engagement and it's not like Dragging on and anything like that Is very like That's why I like Pokemon Go I really like watching it Because it's so fast paced They had so many players, you were telling me yesterday They had record numbers For a 10 year event that they've had for Go Which is crazy, I think they had like 25 rounds Or something like that Which is mad Best of 3 or Best of 5 for Go I'm not sure, I know the Finals are like Best of 5 So I'm not sure if the earlier rounds are Let us know if you play I love watching it though You would think I should know more Because I like watching it, but I'm not I was quite fetchical because you have to learn You have to learn to like So you know when the moves coming and you have to count You know how many taps you're doing You have to like be on it There's a lot of layers to it It's not just simply like Bringing Treven in And just Rocking through the tournament or whatever But it's really good, I like it There was that this weekend So that'll be over soon, which is pretty sad But then there's more ICs coming up Even the next one is NAIC Which would be in June The tournament chips after that A bunch of regionals in between of course For all of these things, which is good So that's a competitive circuit And just being an amazing weekend Seeing everyone, being at the venue And just enjoying things So hopefully you can get out If you were, if you didn't get to come to this one You can get out to one in the future I just want to touch on the Pogman Centre So they did a pop-up Pogman Centre For Worlds last year Because it was held in London Xcel And you know That was, I mean They opened it from Thursday to Sunday Or maybe to Monday, I can't remember When it closed, but they opened it on Thursday They never did it on They only opened it on Friday this year But I mean the amount of people Just people coming in for the Pogman Centre Was not so well And even like now, like yesterday and today The amount of people that were coming And obviously we were in there because we were playing People that aren't playing I mean we went at what, 10am this morning On a Sunday morning It was rammed, it was rammed to me Like I had to queue, I mean Put it into perspective, Worlds last year So you book a time slot right, to get into To get into Pogman Centre And we did it this year At Worlds, we sort of just walked straight in You know, we had like a 12 o'clock slot on the Saturday We said, I will go in And got up, we walked around the queue We didn't have to queue there, let's in To the queue It was like half an hour, 45 minutes just to get in It was crazy busy yesterday And then yesterday right So this is wild, okay, great story time So I bought some trading cards Yesterday, so I went in there And yourself awareness People I was really like I was, you know In the Pogman Centre at Worlds last year I spent 180 quid right, so I was worried That I was going to spend a lot of money And I was like, you know, I was a bit reserved I was like, you know, I could get this But I don't necessarily need to get it You know, there was nothing in there that was re-screaming By me, so I was like I put a lot of things back, there was a few t-shirts I was like, maybe, but then I went to Grab one thing and there was only one left And the guy took some of my board tickets And then I went over to like the TCG section And to those of you who don't know I mean, as we've mentioned Lee has a lot of cards And he sort of got me into it as well I normally buy cards, this addiction that we have I normally buy sealed stuff, right I keep it sealed, and so I never really get a chance To open it, so I was looking at the stuff I had loads of single packs, and they had These little booster bundles Sculling by the booster bundles, and I hadn't opened any Scarlet Violet packs And I was like, fuck it, screw it Let's just get some, right Just for fun, you should get six packs in here For 24 quid, I almost put them back About singles, because I was like, there's no way They're going to give you good hits in here, right There's no way, normally if you get singles, right You've got a better chance, because if you grab Grab a few different ones from different places You might get good pulls, but So last night we sat on the bed, and I was like It must have been like half 10, 11 o'clock, or like This, I forgot, let's open them up So sat on the bed, took the packs out Gave them three to Lee, three to me, right Start opening my packs, right And for those of you who don't know The chase card in this set, this is the Basic Scarlet Violet, so the first time We changed it to the Silver Waters Very similar to Japan Really likes what's off the set, right And it's the first one for the Scarlet Violet And so the chase cards are the Miriam All-Art that they have And then you also have the two Gold Star Mariahedon and Chrydon The full gold ones And then you also have the There's like a Chrydon All-Art Which is really sick, and we're sitting there Right, so I'm opening the pack I go first, we're kind of both opening at the same time But I'm a bit faster, I get my pack open Right, and I get to the end And I go, holy shit I've pulled a Miriam Right, and Lee was like, oh my god That's like the rarest card in the set That's the chase card And then Lee's like slowly Opening his pack He's gorgeous man, honestly it's so nice Very nice card And literally Lee's in the middle Opening his pack He gets to the last card And we hit Oh my god We were like, these are like the two rarest cards in the set How the hell How the hell we hit this There you go Was literally back to back Seconds, like you can't make this stuff up The fact that we open them back to back And then also I also got a Toxicroak EX As well in the same box Which is wild Fido as well And I was like, this is like the most Stacked box It was so cracked So it was out of six packs, so good Like I was saying You wouldn't get that Many good pulls probably from a booster You get a lot of good pulls from a booster But not that many of the rarer ones I don't think so So we went back this morning thinking We'll get another one They had none left I nearly put this back I was so glad I didn't put it back Because I saw someone pick it up And I was like, yeah, I just got this But they didn't have any So we went and bought a mini tin that had crowns in it And Lee bought some packs And I got this This morning, I got the full art Miriam They got the other Miriam So we both pulled Miriam I actually packed it for them So we got some mad pack up this weekend Didn't get anything else other than that That was a nice little pull And also we have these Crazy good The bags are also really cool So we didn't get the yellow ones If you bought loads of stuff last year They gave you these big or larger Yellow Pokemon bags With a picture on it And they were really cool I'm assuming you already have one This year for the smaller stuff They had these smaller bags Which are really cute So I've got two of these now And a promo card as well And a promo card which Professor Willow from Goat Professor Willow from Goat So yeah Really good, yeah, it's a nice Really cool, I mean in the past Like the Pokemon centers that they've had The World Championships have been so trash Yeah, they've always been exciting But they've always been quite small It's not like a Pokemon center In Japan? Yeah, you couldn't compare it to a Japanese Pokemon center, but now they're These pop-up Pokemon centers are way more I think like, from what I've seen The Japanese Pokemon centers Of course you'll be able to say a bit better than me Because you've actually been to one But they feel like they would be more in line With what you get in Japan The amount of merch that you've got there There wasn't that much of this one I was surprised it wasn't as big as the one at Worlds Worlds was huge, there was an array of different stuff This one seemed a lot smaller But it makes sense I think there was a lot more At the World Shop Compared to this one, but it makes sense Because it's smaller The world's exclusive much And there's not as much Exclusive merch for this one You've got the Eevee Playmats and stuff like that And then the kind of the Eevee And the evolution Which I really like You've all got wrong with the Eevee It's an evolution, so it's pretty cool So yeah, all the exclusive stuff For the event was cool, just not as much Because it's not like the World Championships But that's the theme for the ICs This year, which is really good Anything else from the weekend? I feel like I was about to just skim over it So I'm pleased you came back No, I just think like, you know It's a good time event If you are thinking about, you know We're always here and bore you with all the technical details If you are, you know, I met quite a few people yesterday Who, you know, this was their first or second event You know, they've played in number four But like, if you can get a ticket Come down and play like the community is so welcoming Like, it is lovely And I think the big thing about it is The main things are the competitive side of it But it's not just for the competitive player There's a lot to come for Just irregular Pokemon fans Just to come and be a part of the event Enjoy it, kind of meet other Pokemon fans Do the Pokemon Center Do the side events There's so much going on at the whole weekend Like you mentioned, the side events They always have fun side events You know, you get points from the side events You can buy packs with them and stuff like that It's just good fun, isn't it? It's gotten to a point now where You can come along and spectate and have a great time And when I went to Worlds last time It was the first time because I didn't qualify for Worlds I played in the, they normally have an open I played in that But for most of the time I was spectating It's the first time I'd really spectated an event And it was amazing Like this time really, yesterday obviously I wasn't playing I was, unfortunately I didn't make it to day two So we won't be making it to the final But You know, it is what it is But you know, I was going to say we haven't touched on how Your tournament went We can talk about that in a second, but Yesterday I had to spectate And it was great fun, you know I got to watch you guys on the couch You look like you're having a great time All the games have been super fun I think this format is super interesting I went positive We take those But as we said, as we've mentioned Without locals it's Without best of free practice it's really hard to get a judge For your team, no matter how much practice you do online Seven hundred and seventy Something players, so there's a lot of players Yeah, I think I've come like three hundred and thirty It's not bad, mate Finish positive as well Finish positive is really good So that's a plus We'll take it, yeah The thing is you had a good time as well Honestly, I get to spend time with you Again, the biggest thing with events Is that you see people you don't necessarily see Outside of events because People come from all over I've got a lot of friends that live like two, three hours away And it's really hard to get If they don't live in London Obviously London's a lot easier to get Commuted for a lot of people But if they don't live there, they're in the middle of nowhere It's hard to see them So it's always fantastic And that's the one reason I keep coming back So it is that and the community's just like Yeah, great Right, that is EUIC stuff Out the way and the front of the air Sadly, but we'll Hope you've enjoyed this little recap of course of this We've got plenty more on the pod today To talk about though because there's been Still a lot going on in the Pokemon world outside of EUIC As busy and as hectic as that It's been, we had the first episode Of the brand new Pokemon anime Start this past week Which was in Japan And a big reveal as well of Kind of a hint at a Central Pre-evolution For the, well yeah Topegos, the turtle Pokemon That's been In the Indigo disc, DLC Pack, it is like The Pokemon on the front there Which is the How it to be the one behind Terasalization, the one that Is on top of the Heath drew that picture In the Scarlet and the Violet books It's supposedly that Pokemon So the baby form Or the pre-evolved form we don't know Was in the first episode of the anime Which is crazy, so maybe we get Some news soon about the DLCs About the Pokemon And I think now as well, touching on it I don't know if we mentioned last week About the Typhlosion Terrorade That started over this weekend Which is running over this weekend as well With that, you feel like it's the You know, we've had the Hissuian start A kind of Pokemon, they're not the Hissuian ones But they are, you know The normal forms of the Hissuian Pokemon So you'd feel like now we've had the Typhlosion It feels like it's come to an end With this like cycle of seven star raids Is home around The corner as well Pokemon home compatibility so we can get Everything in from there They said early, 2020 We're now in April May is not early May is not early, that is mid That is Q2, my friend We'll have to wait and see I do feel like there has to be something We know we're getting that update In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet In regards to the walk and wake Iron Leaves Bad egg glitch, we talked about that So that's come to the end of April Is that update going to be A fix for the glitch So people can catch it again We know we're going to get that event back again Which will be the next event after the Typhlosion Raid has its second phase That update will drop Is that going to be the update where we're going to get Pokemon home Hopefully, hopefully You would hope so Just talking, talking quickly I do agree with you But I'm going back to the story I was telling you earlier So as you all know about these glitches Of people losing their safe Oh yeah, this is actually funny We have to pay for it to go to the ERC So, you know, I've been well excited To play, you know, obviously as we mentioned And so I've been building my team from practicing And on Sunday I go on Boot up my Switch Click on the game and it goes Welcome to Pokemon Please choose your character And I was like I was like, in the panicking I had my phone in the hand I was about to ring Lea Please, please, don't let this be true Like, have you got a spare card? I was literally just about to go mental And then I realised that I'd signed into the wrong account on my Switch And I was like Heart rate went back to normal pace I was like I had a massive panic attack I was so worried I do still think, like if I ever shut down my game I just put it in sleep mode But I do If I ever shut it down completely and then whenever you open it again I think is this the time that I'm going to get that Where is it going to It's horrible to have that thought I know it's a very slim chance but you know You were saying it's really weird that Pug1 Are able to get that Restore it Quite a few Japanese players Where they've contacted Nintendo And they've sent Like across the internet They've sent their save data to them And then when it's been sent back to their Switch The save's been restored So it is possible to get that save data Players that have experienced these issues I covered a video on it You can contact Nintendo support and then You'll have to do that directly You know how they don't Like they're a very funny company They DM's everything and stuff like that With the new laws in like Europe They're The right to repair laws for Europe could Basically force I think it's happening To repair any joy-con drift I think you are aren't they They have to do it Where they had to I've got a couple of joy-cons Brutal, I sold mine My original joy-cons back So I bought my Switch in Japan And back in 2019 Back when we were doing stuff on the channel I was getting mad at joy-con drift So I had to sell them and I bought a second ampere of joy-cons From CX And it's so bad That they've just managed to get away with it It's like such a common problem It's not like it's a few It's like the biggest problem they've had with the Switch And they've got a way of not having to do anything It's crazy It's a hassle sending them off but I might do it with mine I think one of mine The issue I had with mine was they had the joy-con drift So I actually was fortunate enough To have another switch at the time So I just ended up using that And then I got a pro controller So I just ended up using that and not using the joy-cons at all But the original joy-cons From that first switch The battery died on it So I literally couldn't charge I wouldn't even plugged into the switch I wouldn't charge it So I was like I watched a video of some guy that was like If you get this issue, you can buy this charging dock For the joy-cons And it's like £10 off Amazon So I bought that And it does charge But the two older joy-cons that I've got Because they depleted And for some reason even plugged into the switch They won't charge them They won't even start to charge Because they're just dead and I'm like Well, what do I do now? I've got this charging dock that's really pointless And my joy-cons don't work so I might send those off So yeah If anyone's done it though Let us know how you got on How long it took and probably a month to turn around I know the guy, the first guy that He's kind of story about getting his Stave data back on Scholar and Violet He had to send his switch off to Nintendo So he packaged it up, sent it off to them And they sent it back and said There's not fault on the System that they could fix And then it wasn't until he kept chasing it up Then he managed to get them to Get them to So he sent in his save data That was on the switch And then they took that And then I think two weeks later They sent it back It must be a problem with the switch Or like reading the save file It's definitely that last update 100% There's something in that That must I don't know, such a rare occurrence It's just bizarre that it's not affecting everyone Yeah The good news is though that it's Recoverable But yeah, the Tepegos Baby in the anime I did see it It does feel like In the coming weeks We'll start to hopefully ramp up Especially with homecoming out The rumors for the DLC Because we haven't really had anything, have we? Not had anything since Pokemon Day Since that presents Especially if it's coming into September or potentially earlier You'd think we'd have something Well, it's weird as well because the dates for the DLCs We've touched on it in previous podcasts The dates And the presents when we had that The dates kind of indicated That it would be fall and winter This year But if you go into the eShop It's late 2023 For the first DLC pack And then early 2024 For the second DLC pack So, best guess Who knows when we're going to get the DLCs Full Scarlet and Violet I reckon they just gave themselves a bit of a braving one Because they've had this problem I reckon they planned to release it the same as before But it was like, we've had so many problems Let's just stagger it We're going to make sure there's nothing else wrong Before they do throw it out I think that's probably one of the reasons why Home's not out yet But who knows Because we don't get any communication directly about this So it's Speculation All around for all that stuff Which is just kind of normal Yeah, we'll see We'll report on it, hopefully we'll have some news soon on those But that's exciting The new anime, I don't know when it's due But it'll probably be later this year Other things we've got, we've mentioned The Palafin has been a new distribution as well Mystery Gift Drop, Full Scarlet And Violet, a bunch of things Yeah, that's a decent one, isn't it? It's not so bad, there's like three different codes And they're all running Until like the 2nd of October So it's a really long time So even if you get in the game later this year If you haven't already bought it You're still going to be able to receive these Which would be quite good to get the start of your game Rare candies that you can get And that is Code Level Up There's 5 Max Revives Which is Revive And then there's 5 Nest Ball, Dive Ball, Dust Ball, Timer Ball Quick Ball and Luxury Ball Which is, no I'm not going to give those out for you They did for the Valentine's Day That was good to me for that, I think that was actually good Yeah, that was good And that's Catch by Ball So I'll put the codes up on this To get them And they're available, like I said, until 2nd of October So you've got plenty of time in-game to take advantage of those So that was a little drop over the weekend that we had For Mystery Gifts The Typhlosion 7 Star raid event Was running The raid builds How'd it go? I mean we had a lot of positive comments For Rigorath, man, coming in clutch Yeah, it's a good idea It was even mentioned on a certain Logicard channel Don't know whether it's a hint to your channel Maybe Never know Another for Rigorath, I thought it would work It all hinged The skillswaps all hinged on How the Typhlosion interacted with It's a shield And obviously it was a bit of a hiccup For you, Fulton, you were the one People who thought Meowscarada would be really good I thought Meowscarada would be good But stay tuned for later this week When it comes back, because I'm going to show you all How Meowscarada is going to Be the best to use in this raid I've figured it out, the skillswap Meowscarada works, and I've got a way To make it work, even though Because after turn 2 it nullifies all your abilities Sunny days and eruptions So for that turn, you don't have The flash fire, so you just get nuked And then when you come back, you can't Skillswap again, because the Typhlosion Has overdraw, so you're kind of stuck The key with the skillswap Is to make sure that you don't faint But I've got a way to make sure Meowscarada, even though the ability Is nullified I'm going to sit on it for a second Can't wait to see Don't use a grass type, and I'm like What are you talking about You can have fun using your favorite Star of Pokemon beat the Typhlosion And it's pretty effective It's just as good, if not better Than the Furigraph, but the Furigraph was good Obviously an eyelid again Is just an easy pick for people It's so funny that When you first made that video on your channel An eyelid for 6RT is still good For 7RT Still good for everything, isn't it It surpasses the Ironhands First off, it was Ironhands Just an absolute unit So many people Lee made this short Way back in the beginning When Ironhands was good It was like a week or two After the game drops Everything was new So Lee was like Ironhands is obviously great It has great stats, great bulk It gets drain punch This is a great one for raids After a month or two When Ironhands was no longer great We would get so many Comments Please stop telling people To run Ironhands I get so many people When this was made Months ago People think it was uploaded last week Sometimes when they see it On their short speed It has nearly a million views It's 800k now So it's like It's not wrong though It's just not 100% correct It depends on the Pokemon Terrorades are different It depends on the Pokemon you've gone up against But Ironhands is always a good choice But come back to an eyelid mate An eyelid just feels like it's going to work It does so well in most raid events The rage fist is so good Because it just continually powers up So it doesn't even matter if you get knocked out It's retaining that power boost It keeps it still For the entire raid So even if you faint the rage fist 300 base bar With stab on top of that Then you get so acelyzed And then you get the increased So it's pretty powerful It's a good way to just Use it if you don't want to I like building different things for the raids That's why I like using different things Which is weird, as we discussed earlier You get a lot of heat You get a lot of heat sometimes To your pre-builds Obviously I'm going to be a bit biased But from your perspective You never say For starters You never say these are definitely going to work And also you give them options So I think it's fun To spectate It's a big part of it It builds hype for the raids Of course You're not going to know until the raid comes out But it's always fun People love spectating People make money on rumors On their channels and stuff For anything It's just a bit of fun I'm not the majority of people Enjoy it, so that's the main thing They do work as well Why are you doing this? They do Most of them do work The follow-up videos after the event I always thoroughly test stuff That's the one where I'm like This is what we did during the week This is the one that I think works Let's go It's easier for people that are doing the raids Because not everyone has A background I'm not saying it's because I've played competitive For so many years Pokemon work So I try and apply that With the builds when I'm putting things together Speculating what will work That experience does definitely help With the raids and stuff like that I enjoy doing it It's good Really good videos Thanks mate You even had a couple of comments If it's around met some really nice people this weekend At the events of any of you Were the people I met watching this Meeting you Really nice It's always nice to meet people And see what they're into In the Pokemon world Just get any feedback On videos and stuff like that It's really privileged I feel privileged It's always nice mate It's always really nice I'm not the best at receiving Comments I'm terrible at receiving compliments It's hard isn't it You can obviously acknowledge it But you don't want to be arrogant No I could never do that I'm always very judgmental On myself I never compliment myself About anything I always judge myself Really harshly I always think I can be doing things better What do they do wrong there Personally for me I'm not the best Acknowledging things That have been good That I've done I don't ever really boast about it I don't know it's not me Do I boast about stuff that I've done When I'm not messing around Sometimes if I'm messing around Just joking about Very reserved I don't like to Just not me mate Do you There's another global challenge This weekend I'm going to throw that in If you are playing Anything online you can play three games And you will get the prize For playing in it The last time it was On it was a pokeball bag That you got for the three games This time around it is I'm really hoping when the DLC comes out That they Introduce some really good Customization options for the characters Because the outfits are so bad I don't want to be so upset if they don't The teal mask looks like we get new uniform Anyway so it will be a bit of a change They did the same in Sword and Shield The customization was a lot better in Sword and Shield But we did get When we went to the Isle of Armour We didn't get a new outfit in the Isle of Armour We got a new outfit in the Crown Tundra We got the Snoresuit which was different But it looks like from The overall art and things like that From the DLC information that we got It looks like we're going to get those Suit things which is pretty cool There might be some more options there It would be cool if we got to wear it Imagine if your character could wear those masks We've kind of been teased in that trailer as well So you could have a cool little mask on your trailer Because we've already got that helmet that everyone wears Right? The Daft Punk helmet It would be cool if we could have The masks and things like that Little things like that hopefully But like I say, global challenge You need to go into the rank ladder You can register right up until The tournament is starting which will be on the Friday In the same time as the Terrarium event Full type of Lodge in Phase 2 will be starting You can register right up to A minute before the event starts At midnight UTC And then if you do and you play three games You don't need to win them You just need to play three games And you will get yourself a grid ball bag Which is a little Customizable feature in Skull and Violet So that's running and there'll be More running I think every other week For the next couple of weeks For the next month So there'll be two more after this one And they're all kind of coinciding with The official tournament 4VG As well as the qualifiers For the Japan national circuit as well So that is all going on So we'll keep you updated with everything As and when they come out I was going to say something I was completely lost Chandler's coming to you tonight I saw that Chandler's coming to you tonight Which is pretty exciting It looks like a tour It does look like a tour That's weird isn't it Imagine a chandelier on top of a chandelier Be cool Maybe it's not in Skull and Violet They were like we can't have this We can't have double chandelier It's a shame I like chandelier a lot It has a really cool shiny as well Yes it's like red isn't it Like orange Orange like fire I don't know what else has been going on this week Pokemon Go I haven't really heard much more About the drama going on But the problem is We had some really good responses on the last podcast From people that were You know Suffering from the decisions being made By Niantic to change these raid passes and things So thank you so much to everyone that did leave comments And reach out to us from the last podcast And hopefully the movement That you can see happening in the community Does have some impact There's anything we can do on the podcast here 100% To get information out to help that Please let us know in the comment section below Because we are fully behind that And helping make it more inclusive for everyone Because it's just not cool I did actually speak to someone So some of our friends were playing Pogo During the weekend because they had Obviously they had loads of Pokemon stops and stuff And some raids going on this weekend They always do it for events So it's always a good time Even just to come along Speaking to someone who plays it quite a lot And he's like It's really bad I used to do it quite a lot Because I live in the middle of nowhere As one of the main points for it If you live in the middle of nowhere It meant you can just host a raid And invite someone from America Anywhere in the world Like to say will people comment on the video Saying this is really bad for me Like I can't play the game that I enjoy now It's really affected me And I feel really bad Because I kind of overlooked that aspect of it And just a bit naive I think in the first podcast when we mentioned it And I think Man, yeah, it's not Someone mentioned that Someone On the comments was mentioning that They basically had a theory saying that The The lease that they have Because they rent the rights from Pokemon Right Nantic is running out And apparently they're going to release Their own kind of Pokemon Go Clone Because they have the data right They also have a similar game Which was the best model for Pokemon Go on the Pokestops But apparently they have a similar version Coming out and they're just like Trying to screw Pokemon over That's their first theory before they release their own one Not be Pokemon though I think the biggest appeal to it is it's Pokemon Players that play Pokemon Go Yeah, they're not going to play Doesn't make a lot of sense They're not just going to win it, are they? No, and it may be better if Pokemon actually just take it over And it's not Nantic anymore And then maybe get another developer in to work on Like if that lease is gone And say we're taking this back We've got the base software We'll give you payout We'll get another developer to kind of run it In place because all the ground works there And that might be the solution But Pokemon Go's not going away Anytime soon So big, so big So big, so good, so big I just remember when it come out Man it was so popular I still love it now I just don't really have the time And I can say I live in the middle of nowhere So I do suffer from that I feel like in London it would have been amazing To see those people, like I've been to friends houses before And they've literally got a poker stop outside their house So they can just be like Ping Yeah, in the village where you used to live And we had one in our village And it would be like, sick That's where I live now mate I've got one poker stop in the end I have to walk 20 minutes It's near the local shop 20 minutes So I walk to the local shop I can get their poker stop There's one gym there So if I walk up there It'll be another, it'll be gone But I'll get some coins for it But that is literally like If I was stuck in that village it would be That's all I would have access to and nothing else And it's not like you can do a raid on your own You need friends to do raids with So I need to find out Who those other people are That are putting their poker on in the gym Who are you? We'll team up, we'll team up and do it That would be good So hopefully things keep getting Like hopefully there's some movement On that and there's some improvements made To Pokemon Go Pokemon Stadium came out on Wednesday Through last week so that is now live In Pokemon Switch World Online As we mentioned It makes me wonder When home come out are they going to be like Oh you can't have some Pokemon now It just seems such a weird There just wasn't any hype for it No, it kind of It was a little bit sad really It was such a good game, the mini games are cool Mini games are very cool but I mean That is probably the biggest kind of draw for it Because you can't trade in your Pokemon And The rental Pokemon are just garbage Really Because the sets Sound very good It is a challenge of course If you like a challenge and you like playing with Some of the more fully evolved Pokemon With bad sets and not as effective moves Or if you're going to use like Pokemon or whatever You can do that but it's not quite the same As using your own Pokemon And that's the whole thing Like when I heard the announcement I was like I can't wait to play through Pokemon Red again To just build teams so I can transfer Pokemon Into it and then you can realise Oh yeah, I can't do it Talking about that We were talking last night We went out for some drinks and spoke to some friends The guy on YouTube that recreates teams I'm blessy I'm blessy I think I think that's his channel name, great content now What he does is He will find competitive teams that have done well In games In tournaments and stuff So he will go back and look at tournaments for Like Red and Blue Like Ruby and Sapphire On the old games and see what teams did really well And then play through the games To see how long it takes to get The team competitively Like he said back in like was it like Red and Blue They had to like play the games multiple times Because It was the Journey Across America Episode that he recreated The winning team from the Journey Across America Which is like 2005 or 2006 Could be wrong But yeah in a combination The winner had to buy Seven games So it was Ruby, Sapphire And Emerald Then it was Fire Rare, Lily, Green Then Colosseum and then Girls of Darkness So there were seven games Combined and he had to play through The multiple times Because TMS back then were one use So he had to play through the multiple times Explosion on two Pokemon So he had to play through I think Girls of Darkness And it was I don't know if it was I want to say around like Eight to ten hours of play Just to get that together TMS To do that twice Brutal But yeah this I am blissy I am blissy I'm a blissy Recreates these teams Like As in how they would have to do them and see how long Would take them to do it and create a video about them Very entertaining and very interesting as well Especially for the older generation stuff But Red and Blue I don't really know Much orangey stuff in Red and Blue But I know they had They didn't call them IVs back in Red and Blue and Yellow They were DVs Or side events on like Game Boys Competive Could you imagine like All stadiums just like Proper old school They could do it on stadium now Because it's on the switch All they need is the integration with these classic games People would be all over it Yeah and he could do it on Stadium 2 He could do it on Stadium 1 He could re-release Pokémon Battle Revolution For the Wii, have a Wii simulator on the switch And then do them on like Pearl and Diamond Just scope for so much mate It'd be great I would definitely I'd be all over that Yeah so would I I'd be sick They hit you with the nostalgia when you're young They get you in when you're young And when you're older you get hit with the nostalgia It doesn't matter who you are Most people play Pokémon games And it's all the amount of people That are in the Pokémon Center I had a little Because I went in on What day was it Friday I had a break during the stream So I was like I'm going to pop out To the Pokémon Center just to check it out So I went along and I was just walking around I had no intention of buying anything Because I was like in the middle of the production day So I thought I'll just go and check it out See what's happening, see the vibe See what products are on, things like that So I went in and I was all suited And booted I was walking around and this little kid comes up And he's like do you know if they sell Old Pokémon games in here And I was like they probably don't But I don't think they do They might have Scarlet and Violet though In here because I'm like And then I'm like clocking on This kid thinks I work here Yeah I know and then his dad Came up as well and I was like yeah I'm really sorry I don't know if they do Maybe ask one of the guys in the I think they had like yellow polo shirts on that day I was like maybe ask one of the The guys in the yellow polo shirts If they got any of the A game section which I don't think they do But then he just laughs And he's like oh yeah I'm sorry And I realised and I was like yeah But no the vibe was good Old Pokémon games though Imagine they could do it They could do it they could Easy create old Pokémon games again Couldn't they get them into production On old school on old school stuff Re-release the Game Boy, GBA People would be All over that Mate it's like there would be A cash printing machine wouldn't it They would already print cash so They just use the cash that they already print They just need to do like a limited edition Game Boy Game Boy special edition like 20 What will the next anniversary be the 30th anniversary 30th anniversary Here's your idea Game Freak Nintendo 100 pound Game Boy Re-release the Game Boy 30th anniversary edition With original classic cartridges as well Get the production Back in be good wouldn't it Original cartridges oh my god I wonder when the copyright runs out on those games The copyright only lasts for 10 years For certain things yeah And where you could be like okay well We can create this like now We can recreate this because the copyrights run out And Nintendo aren't going to do it But we could you know someone could Come along and say well let's do it Because there's obviously there were people out there That would buy them I mean look at the second hand Market where you know I've got an original Game Boy I've got one like Five or six years ago it's like a blue one It's awesome So on the train on the way down I was playing crystal on my Game Boy Colour And I was like this is amazing I love it It's just small as well It's crazy just a quick story I forgot to mention so So on the train on the way down right So before I was telling The story so once I learned the bridge station Like in the UK When you go like when you go off a train You have to go for a barrier that serves you pay For a ticket right and it's like A little door system put your ticket in Your phone your oyster card or whatever Your card and it opens and then they're closed As you go through and So once I was at London and I was walking through Like busy time I had a backpack on I walked through their clothes on my backpack And I'm like flailing right And there's loads of people staring at me And I was like oh my god this is so embarrassing And I was like the only way I could have Get out because he had like Squished my backpack in So Tali was like I had to climb out of the backpack And then yank it out Oh my god and so So on the way down right on On Yesterday morning Literally as I got off the train London bridge I was like do you remember that time I got stuck In the In the little doors and like so I go down Go down to the tube Tap my thing through go to walk through Boop on my backpack again And I'm literally sitting there Gobsmacked because I was like I literally fall back It's like a minute ago and it's happened To me again and I'm like oh my god So I tried to take my backpack off Again but the doors like get tighter And like I can't move my arms and like I'm behind I was like please can you try and open the door And then it didn't work and they had to call Someone over and there's like loads of people behind me Because it's on the bridge station and I was like Oh my god I was like oh thank you And I went away I was so embarrassed Second time mate Second I can't believe I haven't twice Twice that's hilarious I'd have loved to have seen that Anybody move lightly No good story Good story good memories Let's see if it can happen the third time Third time the trains are terrible on the way down For me but that's another story For another time What was I talking about the classic Things we were talking about Pokemon Stadium So that's out now Let me know if you've been playing it I think that's it to be honest Other than that not like a great deal Going on this week hopefully we can get some We'll do some news I reckon Yeah I think this week I think we'll get Because you've got to think we mentioned it On the last pod about the update It's coming at the end of April So we're going to have the second phase Of the Typhelogen raid which will be on Well it'll be next week I can never bring my calendar up in this Oh there we go right there Yeah so the next phase Of the Typhelogen raid will be the 23rd We'll run another that weekend so we'll finish on the 23rd Now it would be due to get an announcement For the next 7 star raid on the 24th Okay But we know that we're going to get an update And the walking wake And the Iron Leaves raid will be running again Considing with that update So that would make sense that Iron Leaves walk and wake raid will be on the 28th of April Considing with the update Potentially that update could be the one for home If it's not I don't know when we're going to get home I really don't I have no idea because I feel like they do this update And then it's going to be another month Before we get another update They're not going to drop another one straight away If it's into June it's crazy So potentially we'll get some news about This coming week I imagine If not it will be the week after For sure Iron Leaves raid coming again So if you have caught it already You're not going to be able to catch it again Or you missed that event when it did drop originally Then it gives you another chance to get those Legendary Pokemon Which is quite cool so that's a nice little thing And the update hopefully fixes some stuff Because none of the updates seem to Fix anything And they were menu so We'll see Just breaking things, yeah I don't think there's really anything Else other than that mate The podcast is now on iTunes or Apple podcast now We managed to get
