 All right. All right. All right. How you guys doing? Are you having a good morning? I hope everyone's doing well We had a Pokemon presents today. Sorry for a little bit of delay. I actually wanted this to be live I don't know about 15 20 minutes ago I was having some audio issues getting the audio from the Computer here the laptop over into the streaming software, but we got it all fixed Turns out, you know every now and then I got a I got a reset audio settings To make this work because I keep switching between the switch and this and it just keeps confusing the the system here But we're all good. We got a Pokemon presents this morning. I'm serious here. Look. It's right here. Bam Starts in six minutes Are you excited? Are you excited? And we have a lot of other news we could be talking about as well because Nintendo had their financial briefing last night But I'm gonna save that because it's gonna go into a video later today We'll talk about sales and Kirby and everything in between. There's a whole bunch of stuff to go over But I don't even have all the details yet because honestly I've had time to wake up Get my kids ready for their summer school drop them off get home and then fix these audio issues And now here we are so we're gonna have about 20 minutes or so of this Pokemon presents today So I hope you guys are really excited about that We'll flip over here. Oops much closer to when it starts Which is in six minutes Officially. All right, I'm excited about work. So gonna be half present. Oh, yeah, that happens Charles Who do we have here joining us this morning? We got mr. Comusable lemon We have moderator and member Natsu member C dog 457. We have missed T 22 member Nintendo all stars We have Gidbro here as well rose 14 G is here Logan La Blanc. Both of you guys are members We have pick infusion here as a member Breadman here is a member Charles Trudel is a member Christopher Colasso See our 24 rules here as a member and moderator And then we have Tiger adventurer as well Yeah, it's it's kind of a weird time to do an event like this But we've seen Nintendo in the Pokemon Company I do these super early events And the reason they do it is Japan Whenever they want a worldwide event They try to time it where we could watch it here in the United States even though it's more convenient to watch it in Japan But yeah, they try to time this so it's at a time that Everyone in the world could feasibly watch So that's why we end up getting these super early times often with directs or presents etc, so You probably should be working on home right now, but I'm waiting to go out until the direct is that yeah, I mean it'll be It's gonna be about 20 minutes long, so Should be pretty cool. I'm really excited. There's all there's a lot of things we could see today We know for sure We're gonna be seeing Pokemon Scarlet Violet cuz the Pokemon company told us We're gonna be seeing Pokemon Scarlet Violet and I'm really excited to see this stuff there I know there's been some leaks out there by the way The whole game is basically leaked at this point assuming those assuming those leaks are correct from China then pretty much the whole games leaked but Still those are leaks Potential leaks I guess I should say we can't verify them so rumored rumored leaks potential leaks those are not necessarily What the game's gonna be so I am going to wait and see and be excited over what they show today Assuming what they show today is worth being excited over now the last trailer They dropped at the beginning of what was it June that trailer was fantastic. Oh my lord Multiplayer where you guys gonna explore the world and adventure together Yeah, kind of a big deal to me So I'm really excited for this and I'm really excited to see what new features they add here And it feels weird saying that because me being excited for a Pokemon game Huh the last one I was excited for was Pokemon legends Arceus Ended up being pretty justified the game is great So I'm excited for this one as well, and I guess we'll just have to see how it goes Me fix mine zoom in here. So I should read the text a Pokemon title leak no way. Yeah, but Sam West what's what's weird about this leak is usually when it leaks It's like two to three weeks before launch This was months and months like people don't even have review copies of the game It leaked from a QA tester Supposedly so that that's what makes us really weird. We usually don't get leaks like this for Pokemon a QA tester It was probably sense lost a job It's it's it's been narrowed down to where this information was coming from. That's why I think they lost their job Alright So I guess we could know we got we have two minutes and it is a premiere It just means pre-recorded One of the ten tries your series X has a Wi-Fi Why are we having Wi-Fi issues your series X? That's a weird thing to have Wi-Fi issues with oh That reminds me I do need to open the chat on my phone just the way my setup is right now because I can't Actually, maybe I can fix it over here. I don't know why my chat over here It's always so weird Maybe I guess I can sort of read the chat from there, but I'm gonna I'm gonna bring up the chat on my phone Just to be safe Volume down a video to play Bring the chat up about the chat right here So we're trying over to the the Pokemon view here Since we have 60 seconds Ah Are you guys ready you guys excited? I Know I am I'll make this full screen as soon as I can we'll adjust volumes here and make sure we have a good volume Volume mix a good mix minus Yeah, yeah, yeah, you you Sam West Sam West Probably Microsoft and the ongoing quest screw That's bad All right.

They just do it and mobile devices Here we go on the Pokemon here we go Why we're really watching let's do this it does not reflect actual gameplay experience. Actually sound voice Attention, please. Oh, that's what they mean. We begin. They mean those texts in that voice acting You go the region you can ride your legendaries, which I think the rumors stated They're like motorcycles And you can fly up, okay the ones like a jet dude motorcycles, baby The Pokemon wherever I demo, please Looks like breast of the wild towers Something to treasure Interesting the very interesting trailer now starting to get a clearer picture of your adventures to come in the Paldea region I'd like to dive a little deeper into the information presented So let's take a closer look together. You mean explain what was just presented because that trailer didn't explain shit The newest titles in the Pokemon series are the Pokemon scarlet and Pokemon violet games These titles will be open-world RPGs a first for the Pokemon series Scrawling landscapes and vibrant towns weave together to form the Paldea region where your new adventure will unfold These are the legendary Pokemon Corridon and Miridon You'll rely on one of them as a partner in your adventure climb on and together you'll dash across grassy fields Move across water and glide through the sky Your partner can change forms as needed while you explore every nook and cranny of the region with them You will be enrolling at a certain academy as a student and a special independent study project awaits you The treasure hunt through it. You'll embark on a journey to find treasure of your own here in Paldea Three grand stories are waiting for you three one story will revolve around the familiar gym battles You'll go to eight Pokemon gyms and aim for the champion rank In these games, there is no set path you must take when challenging the gyms Chart your very own course along victory road The other two stories you'll experience hold many surprises and discoveries as well Which story will you begin with? How will you progress through them? It is all up to you three stories Professor Sada and Professor Churro Research legends passed on in the Paldea region. Mr. Clavel is the director of the academy. You'll attend and Mr. Jacques is your homeroom teacher who teaches biology You'll have your battle-loving friend, Nemona And you'll meet Arvin an upperclassman and a great cook There's also Penny a shy student in your grade There are gym leaders too like Grusha the ice type gym leader The people you meet in Paldea are sure to enrich your adventures Many different species of Pokemon also called the Paldea region home This Pokemon is the Paldaean regional form of whooper It lives on the land and covers its body with a poisonous film Fido our delightfully squishy Pokemon that are smooth to the touch And here's Cetiton which has a large body and a hard horn that can freeze its surroundings Of course, we also have the Pokemon from which you'll choose your first partner Spaghetti to quack quack, oh and quacks Lee quacks. Lee baby. Let's go Pokemon As part of your venture By using the union circle you can enjoy co-op play with up to three friends Yeah, you can go look for Pokemon. You haven't yet discovered or Even ride together to race across the map Enjoy all the Paldea region has to offer with family and friends So you can do the whole game Did I just confirm you can play the whole game together with friends? The terastal phenomenon. Did they just confirm you can do the whole game together with friends? Yeah, probably not the gyms. I assume you ought to go into the gym on your own But still all Pokemon in the Paldea region are able to terastalize Which can provide a boost to a Pokemon's type and make its moves strong terastalize Some Pokemon will change type when they terastalize What type they become seems to depend on that Pokemon's terra type For example an Eevee would typically remain normal type after terastalizing But there could be Eevee that become grass or water type after terastalizing So you hope you'll try to catch Pokemon with rare terra types Okay, the terra types is a new thing Pokemon that have rare terra types are more likely to appear in Terra raid battles. So raid battles are in okay You can challenge Terra Pokemon in these battles with up to three other trainers This is a new kind of raid battle where you can attack or heal with your own timing without having to wait for your allies Oh Try to cooperate with your allies to get the upper hand in these battles after you successfully defeat a terra Pokemon You'll get the opportunity to catch it for yourself All four are good a chance to catch it Okay We've kept all the things we love about Pokemon The latronka stand in my party the whole time in Pokemon scarlet and Pokemon violet We hope you look forward to the day you set out on your adventure Okay Looks good the Pokemon scarlet that looks really good games are available to pre-order at participating retailers now That's really good your independent study in the pal day a region begins in three months We eagerly await your enroll so crazy. It's only three months away That's all for today's presentation Thank you very much for tuning in and watching No, thank you sir Thank you, sir. Well, that was Pokemon presents. Obviously the announcement I care about most is the scarlet and violet stuff You may interesting to see all that multiplayer plays out. It is a Open world obviously and it sounds like you can go anywhere in this world together towns overworld raid battles Except like that's cool It's gonna be interesting to see what the limitations are of it like I presume you obviously can't all go into the same gym Or maybe you can and then you have four separate instances of that gym and you're in it by yourself And then you can come out. Maybe you're still back together. I have no idea It's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out if any part of the stories Can be played out with friends or if the only thing you can do with friends is just explore catch Pokemon, etc It's gonna be interesting See how that plays out. I presume one of those three stories If it takes place in the overworld, you'll be able to do with friends, but What the wait and see I'm pretty I'm pretty excited about this I honestly think this is maybe the best looking in terms of gameplay Pokemon I've ever seen I'm not usually excited by Pokemon games I'm not a big Pokemon guy I was in the in the late 90s. I'll say early 90s late 90s In early 2000s and then I didn't really like most of the Pokemon games And then I loved Pokemon legends Arceus But what I loved about Arceus was not only that we had open zones but the act of catching Pokemon became fun again and No legends Arceus Pokemon catching is not back So I'm very curious if the other changes they have made Can make me okay with the traditional way of catching Pokemon So it's gonna be it's gonna be very interesting to see if all these other changes like it being fully open world playing with friends You know the three different stories that you know, so normally you only have one story, right? Oh go become a champion defeat the gym leaders go save the world go do this thing instead We have three stories, which means there's more to do in this game than ever before. I Am literally excited About things that I didn't think the Pokemon company would do such as giving us multiple Storylines to follow give us, you know What looks like some real differences between the games multiple professors Potentially different designs and different aesthetics in the whole world depending on which version in the game you get whether or not those aesthetics and changes are significantly Impactful story wise that I don't know I know some people said oh, there's time travel. There's not I think it was confirmed or what there was no time Traveler like they take place in the same time, but it's rather interesting just to see How this all plays out, so I'm really really excited. I don't know which version of the game I'm getting yet between Pokemon Scarlet and Violet I mean, obviously you just get both, but I'm not I'm not sure which version I'm personally gonna get I I've looked around And I'm just not sure Part of me says just get just get this just get whatever I Don't know I'm not sure which version I'm gonna get I'm not sure that it matters I think what I think what I was going to probably Base my decision on is because Eric's picking up a copy so whatever I gotta ask Eric whatever version He's getting and you know what I'm gonna ask him tonight on the podcast Whatever version of the game. He's getting I'll get the opposite that way if there's like, you know exclusive Pokemon and stuff We can trade them between each other So that's probably how I'll base my decision I'll just say Eric which one are you getting and I'll just go ahead and get the opposite of that so Open world RPG. I wonder if they took inspiration bits from legends Arceus Well legend Arceus is not an open world RPG legends Arceus is an open zone Okay, open zone is similar to open world, but you can't go between the zones freely, right? It's a hub area. So Legends Arceus is more like monster hunter in terms of how it approaches and no one thinks monster hunter rise is open world It's not it's open zone So it's more akin to that then it is open world So this is the first ever open world Pokemon RPG and I've been waiting for this since I was like gosh, how old was I? 12 13 I've been waiting since basically gen one To have an open world Pokemon game and so the idea that we're about to play one Excites me so much and I know some people think open world is overplayed I think open world has made sense for Pokemon before open world was even popularized. I Don't know why it took us so long to get here, but we're here now So I am all in on Pokemon Scarlet Violet so much so That this might be a game that I decide to beat on live stream now You guys know I usually only stream games Tuesdays or I think I'll probably end up doing from launch of this game is something similar I did for the launch of Breath of the Wild and that is that I will stream it on Launch day on Friday and then streaming again on Saturday streaming again on Sunday Maybe take Monday as a break then come back at it again Tuesday night So then you get basically a four of first five days on the market Streaming of the game and they'll be pretty lengthy streams The first stream Yeah, no, they'll be pretty lengthy streams And by the end of that I might I might already have beaten the three stories in the game Now doesn't mean that I will have caught all the Pokemon did all my things but Yeah, that's what I plan to do for the launch of Breath of the Wild I plan to get like 50 60 hours in the first, you know five six days, so It's gonna be probably what I do with this game as well, and I'll probably be through most of stuff that matters I might not have a complete Pokedex, but And yeah throughout the adventure, I'll probably play around with some of you guys as well You know get get some of our YouTube members in maybe maybe we even have a night that I get some of you my YouTube friends together Maybe I get Andre's restart and Mike Odyssey and I don't know maybe I get hoops hoops and hip hop in and we all And we all play together, so it'll be fun and interesting Mr.. To show more multiplayer you think I mean I think they're trying to save a lot of the multiplayer fun for Hey, you know what go discover it yourself Let's wait to know if we can play multiplayer when we have the other version of the game Nintendo could be stupid and no Charles we don't have to wait. We already knew they confirmed it the very first time they showed off multiplayer You have you have players from both versions of the game. We already know that that's not a concern Don't need to worry about that. It doesn't matter which version of the game you have you can play together That that part doesn't matter that that was already confirmed literally in the trailer. They revealed it in So now I'm gonna worry about that that that's already confirmed and it's not Nintendo It's the Pokemon company Nintendo doesn't make those decisions Pokemon needs breeding and fusion need is a pretty strong word Pokemon needs something that some Pokemon games have never had That's not a need then that's a want That's a want you want breeding you want fusion not all Pokemon games have breeding and fusion Ergo, it's not a need the only need in a Pokemon game is you need to catch Pokemon You need to catch them and you need to have some sort of Ultimate goal to get to at the end of the game That's the only needs there probably needs to be some form of multiplayer as well in some form and Some form of trading those are probably all of the needs Everything else is just what you want to do You want that you don't need it because Again games exist without it But your personal desires you want it Just wanted to clarify that a lot of us try to push our personal desires on others and I've been kind of on a bit of a Campaign against what I want personally is what this game absolutely I've always wanted open world and guess what Pokemon has survived just fine without it. So I'm Fierce. Oh, is there a breeding in Gen 1? I Don't remember there being breeding in Gem 1. I Could I could be wrong on that though It's possible there was breeding back in Gem 1. I just don't remember But I'm pretty sure Gem 1 did not have breeding which means Pokemon Let's go Pikachu and Eevee didn't have breeding either When I could I literally could be misremembering because it's been a while. Yeah, it wasn't until Gen 2. That's what I thought That's why I was saying breeding technically is not a requirements It's been in every other game, but it hasn't been in Gem 1 which means it's not one of those things we can universally say is a Whitement for Pokemon we could say it's been in Pokemon a majority of the time, but a Requirement no Again wasn't in that wasn't on let's go Pikachu and Eevee which you know Gem 1 remakes blah blah That's why I was gonna say it was Gem 1 that I was pretty confident wasn't it and look at this I'm not even like the biggest Pokemon fan in the world and I knew it wasn't in Gem 1 I knew I knew it came in Gen 2. I I thought I remember it distinctly in Pokemon Gold and Silver So I knew from that point forward it was in the games, but yeah, it wasn't in Gem 1 That's not me being a Gem 1er. Those are just the facts Well, what are your guys's thoughts? What are you guys thinking? I gave I gave my thought to my opinions What are your guys's thoughts and opinions? You know one thing I could do with this chat since I haven't been put an image on the TV Link can you stop? Sit down for a second. I Know you want some lovin, but and you're probably hungry. I'll go get you. I'll get you set up here in a second No, I want like this chat box move it up here Not much easier. It is to read that chat box Or the TV is the background Don't know why I didn't think about that earlier Since I have the TV here, and I'm not putting an image on it right now it kind of makes sense to put the chat box up there And the TV sort of serves a purpose as a natural black background See here all I want is a pockin tournament style or I can say call it poke in tournament pockin poke I don't know To come maybe not now, but maybe in a decade or so. Yeah, we'll see. How does hammer Pokemon work? I don't know hammer time Let's see I Like what I saw but I would have liked to seen the Combat because that is what I'm most curious about if it's like sword and shield or more like legends Arceus I Mean they showed us a raid battle But they didn't really show the menu selection. They did mention that we can make some decisions Independent of what others doing so it's not like, you know, it's it's your turn. Now. It's my turn now It's Eric's turn now. It's Bob's turn now. It's you know, Erica's turn like It looked like we get to make some decisions independent of each other and that part I really like cuz that's gonna speed up battles as well. Also, can we synchronize together for group attacks? You know kind of feels like we need voice chat Just saying voice chat seems like it's needed for this game, but whatever It's gonna be interesting It's gonna be interesting to see because any other battles we've seen to this his point We haven't really seen it all the way through. We've just seen that here's an attack here's in there Here's someone helping you out and train in you something. We haven't we haven't really seen them go into the battle system much I presume it's it's you know, there's some things we can guarantee it's gonna be turn based you're going to you know Pick a tax and then they're gonna pick a tax like that. That's us That's us known We do know that there are that there's one thing they show up today where you can do like that that crystal type or whatever They call it where you hit the R button or the CR button and activate That new gosh, why am I drawing a blink what it's called. They just unveiled it today So I don't have I don't have this lock down in memory yet And receive new mechanics Let's see terrestrial terrestrial phenomenon so terrestrial Mode that you can put your Pokemon in and gives them different types and the terrestrial mode is something that looks like The Pokemon have when you catch them So that it give you incentive to catch multiple of the same type of Pokemon If you want a different terrestrial mode So that's kind of cool as well because it does often times in Pokemon outside of like I want Chinese and I want the best stats and like so there be reasons to catch multiple versions of a Pokemon when you're Attempting to get the best of the best possible combination But it just gave us another reason to catch multiple of them and that is because you might want a different terrestrial form so That's pretty cool as well It anything that gives us a reason to catch a multiple Pokemon of the same type is always good if it actually is substantial and matters And they did it in Arceus by giving us quests and different different things to do and you want to catch certain amounts of Pokemon So that that that was their driving factor in Arceus and this one it seems gonna be what terrestrial forms and stuff Do you want why does everyone depend on voice chat when people use? discord Here is Here is Here is here's here's the reason here's the reason I'll tell you the reason right now I only use discord when I'm playing games on PC You know why I only use discord when I'm playing games on PC because I don't have to fucking use a second device to voice I'm sorry to swear during a day stream. I really apologize. I shouldn't be doing that I should be bleeping myself out at least like But here's the problem. Okay, I Don't want to use two devices when playing a game I don't want to use my phone. I don't want to use my phone I don't want to use my phone in any form when I'm playing a game on a console at all I don't want to voice chat through my phone. I don't care if it's Nintendo's app or discord I don't want to do it. Why do I want to drain the battery on my phone when I'm playing a game? It's stupid. I don't want to do that That's why people use local voice chat. They don't want to use a second device That's why so yes, I use discord to voice chat when I'm playing on PC because I'm already on the computer But on my Xbox your damn right. I use local voice chat. I'm PlayStation your damn right I use local voice chat on switch. I use local voice chat and free-to-play games because They're the ones that get it right on switch Now Xbox does have discord built in now so there so there is that that you could use discord on Xbox but again, I Don't have to use discord on Xbox because you know what I can do on discord that I can't do on Switch I can message people. I can add friends without needing some weird code. I Could set up play sessions. I Can have lobbies the chat and now discord servers are great and nothing wrong with that. It's just It's not something That I feel is necessary Discord voice chat is not better than the voice chat on Xbox and the voice chat on PlayStation. It's just an option That's really a better option It's just an option for communities that organize through discord because there are certain communities that you know Say that in general prime community that would organize games with friends, you know online over discord So it might make a little sense to use discord in situations like that But not everybody does that. I don't use discord to organize play sessions with Eric He's literally an in real life friend. Why the hell would I be using discord? I'll just text them on my phone and say hey, buddy. You want to go play some Madden tonight Then we'll hop on Madden and we'll voice chat each other Now in terms of adding discord to switch here is why they they're not doing it Switch doesn't have enough processing power to have discord running in the background. That's the bottom line Discord's too bloated to run in the background. That's it PlayStation 5 and Xbox series can do it. No problem. They have tons of processing power They could they can dedicate some to that and have it not really affect games No, link link just waiting for me to get out of this chair He doesn't like when I'm sitting in this chair the moment I move over to my editing table He'll literally just go in and go and chill and chew on his bone But because I'm sitting you're talking to you guys like he's like, oh man, who you talking to I want to know who you're talking to What's going on? Why is this guy talking to an empty room? See dogs don't understand streaming and stuff They don't understand when you're talking to an empty room that you're talking to people like they they don't see anybody They can't read. They don't know what's going on So my dog my dog gets like this a lot when he's in here streaming he's like you're talking to somebody what the hell I don't see anyone Yeah, the switch just isn't powerful enough for for discord in the background Now that being said would Nintendo work with discord. I don't know I don't know Because they have their own phone apps so probably not they wouldn't work with the even if they had a more powerful system I just don't think they would work with this court anyways I mean do you have twitch streaming yet still waiting for that like Yeah, Nintendo just doesn't do that stuff. They're very expecting Nintendo to be forward thinking and giving you a common feature of other platforms is Short-handed Now I don't I don't use discord on my playstation or Xbox, but I mean I know some people do and that's an option I just use local voice chat. I've never had one issue with local voice chat. I've never had a single issue with local voice chat Plus I get full control in local voice chat versus someone who is hosting on a server having full control. I get full control. I Want to mute everybody I want to block people I wanted this I wanted that I want I don't have to go into sub menus I just click on the username and and that's it. You just pick pick what you want to do The discord apps while usable are a little bit more complicated to do some of the simple things that are already built Xbox live and PlayStation Network just a little bit more complicated. Not like super bad But anyways, just an option. You see the map of Pokemon Skrull and violent. It's huge. Yes, I've seen it Cool thing about discord on Xbox PlayStation that you can voice chat with someone on a different console Yeah, I mean that that that's fine That's fine, like if you're doing cross platform play That's probably the one area that that discord matters Because there are some games across platform play and in situations like that You obviously local voice chat. It's not gonna matter because you need to voice chat with people In different games now some of those games have their own voice chat lobbies One thing I will say about public voice chat lobbies Is they usually suck and they usually suck really bad? So in situations like that discord is The solution for cross platform chat and that's probably the only thing I would ever use it for like if I'm playing a game on switch and and discord gets added and Eric is playing, you know fall guys over on His Xbox at home because his switch got left here then yeah, you know We could hook up on discord because we can do cross platform chat that way. Although we could hook up on discord Yeah, yeah, if it was on switch, yeah, we just hook up on discord and do cross platform chat, but But that's like maybe the one scenario that I that that discord to me is is fundamentally better than local Yeah, you shed you buddy Yeah, we've had a pretty hot actually isn't that our summer has been super hot like you know Our summer has been normal in the 80s and 90s that's totally normal for us We haven't got a lot of rain though. I wouldn't say it's a drought. We just got some rain last night But compared to normal I usually have to mow my grass every three days and I'm mowing my grass like once every two and a half weeks But we got rain coming Saturday Sunday So, you know, we just haven't had our normal rainfall But we also got blasted in the spring and blasted in the winter So it just kind of shifted where a majority of our water was coming from I guess That's why that's why our lakes and riverbeds aren't you know the water levels aren't going down because we Actually had more than usual to start the start the summer. So It's just kind of shifting. We're still getting our rain. It's just not it's just as consistent as it was Which I'm fine. I like hot summers, but you know When the grass is starting to get a little bit prickly because it's starting to dry out You gotta get some rain. We just had some rain last night. I ain't got rain coming this weekend. So It'll bounce back It was basically just like a Three-week period I suppose where we were a month period there were we had maybe one rainfall Which was really weird for Wisconsin But We got we got we got we got a lot more rain coming So we just got rain last night big big thunderstorm last night and we got more coming this weekend It's bouncing back. I guess we've had summers like this before where we've had no rain for like a month Not a huge deal. In fact for me, it's kind of cool. I don't have to mull the grass There is that because we don't have sprinklers or anything So when there's no rain our grass just becomes brown It rains and it becomes green again Kind of cool how quickly grass bounces back.
