1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,360 Wait! Don't forget the currency we have 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,340 in my office in Buzzalene Village! Yeah! 3 00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:33,960 Did you hear me, Ash? Welcome 4 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,840 to the show, everyone! My name is David Petrangelo 5 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,100 and I don't know what I'm doing, but I am quite glad 6 00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,920 that I recognize these Pokemon. Gen 7 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,940 1 for the win! I am old! And 8 00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:53,000 of course, Jiggy Lookback is with me once again. Who 9 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,200 is that Pokemon? It is Pikachu! No! 10 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,980 Jiggy Lookback. It's Jiggy Lookback. It 11 00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:07,080 played out funnier in my head, but whatever. Please, 12 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520 please, just if you're gonna watch any of the 13 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,890 videos, any of our, any of our video versions of these 14 00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:16,770 episodes, just even if it's only the first like two or 15 00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:20,250 three minutes, just watch Jiggy's intros because as I 16 00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:22,870 said before we hit record, I'm glad that he is the 17 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:25,030 one that gets physical with our intros and does 18 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:27,630 anything that's not just sitting here talking into a 19 00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:29,570 microphone. It is worth it just for the 20 00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:31,030 first few minutes of that. So 21 00:01:31,038 --> 00:01:34,570 I will explain it slightly, but there was there was 22 00:01:34,570 --> 00:01:36,630 some Pokemon that made it on screen. So 23 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:39,290 some Pokemon made it. I wish I had them hanging. 24 00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:40,990 They were hanging. And 25 00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:43,150 then I came in and just like punched and just threw 26 00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:45,630 some punches like some fishing, fishing wire sort 27 00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:47,190 of hanging. So you then wire and I just 28 00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:48,450 punch him and they fly off. It's 29 00:01:48,458 --> 00:01:52,850 like Pokemon action movie. Here's 30 00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:54,110 a real question for you. Yes, 31 00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:56,950 please. If you were a Pokemon, not 32 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,910 what Pokemon would you be, but what type would you 33 00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:00,390 be? I don't care what Pokemon you 34 00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:02,090 are. I want to know what type you 35 00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:07,230 are. Interesting. I think I think I want to 36 00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:09,990 go with the psychic ones. And 37 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:12,470 I'm going with what the descriptors are for the 38 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:15,330 first gen or maybe the first two genes, because 39 00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:17,470 that's kind of all I'm familiar with, which we'll 40 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:18,690 talk about in a little bit. But 41 00:02:18,698 --> 00:02:21,570 the psychic ones always seem to be pretty powerful 42 00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:24,350 and also psychic is kind of like magic. And 43 00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:27,510 that's kind of fun. So yeah, I'd probably go with 44 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:30,270 that. Yeah. What about you? OK, 45 00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:38,330 I think I would go. I'd probably be. I 46 00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:42,670 always wear gray. Oh, so I feel like I would be 47 00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:47,750 like a rock type. OK, plus I hit so hard. Maybe 48 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:50,070 a rock fighting. That's what I would be. Oh, 49 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:51,550 come on. Rock fighting. Yes, 50 00:02:52,210 --> 00:02:54,390 I didn't say combos. You can be a combo. I 51 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:55,530 don't know. I don't know what the combos 52 00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:56,870 are. Like, I don't know if there's 53 00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:59,910 rules to combos because not really not really. OK, 54 00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:05,830 any any Pokemon that has a combo that is. Like, 55 00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:08,790 say you have like a water electric or something, 56 00:03:08,930 --> 00:03:11,250 right? And electric would be super 57 00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:14,050 effective on water. Yeah, not your electric. So 58 00:03:14,050 --> 00:03:17,710 it's dope. That sounds too complicated. I'm 59 00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:22,490 glad I only played one and a half gens of Pokemon. It 60 00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:24,490 sounds too much for me. Golden 61 00:03:24,490 --> 00:03:26,290 Silver was the best, though. That's 62 00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:27,830 the one that's the one I want to finish. That's 63 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:29,430 the one I got a few hours into. I 64 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:33,390 stand firm that Gen two is the best gen. Like, 65 00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:37,270 I love Gen one, but Gen two is Gen one plus more. 66 00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:39,570 Is that because the games 67 00:03:39,570 --> 00:03:42,050 themselves or because of the Pokemon that are added 68 00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:44,330 or a combination of both, I guess? Both. 69 00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:46,010 Both. OK, all right. OK. 70 00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:48,350 Oh, yeah. One of my favorite one of my 71 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:51,070 favorite Pokemon of all time is Bayleaf. Oh, 72 00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:52,370 yeah, I know which one that is. Oh, 73 00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:54,550 that was Gen two. That was the evolution of 74 00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:57,350 Chikorita, not the final evolution because the final 75 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:59,830 evolution, let's be honest, not that great. But 76 00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:01,730 Bayleaf is dope. What's the name of the evolution? 77 00:04:01,730 --> 00:04:03,110 Because I don't know the name. I'm 78 00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:05,410 going to look it up. It's like Maganium or Meganium. 79 00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:06,350 I don't know how to pronounce 80 00:04:06,350 --> 00:04:09,910 it. Is Chikorita, Bayleaf, Maganium, 81 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:12,110 Meganium. Oh, that one. Yeah. 82 00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:15,030 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I 83 00:04:15,038 --> 00:04:18,870 would say Meganium because it's like mega, like. Oh, 84 00:04:18,950 --> 00:04:21,029 it could be. I don't know. Maganium. 85 00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:22,410 Yeah. Yeah, it's OK. It 86 00:04:22,418 --> 00:04:24,070 kind of looks like a kind of looks like a really 87 00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:28,530 like phallic dragon with a flower on its neck. That's 88 00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:31,050 what it's like. Yeah. Yeah, it's OK. It 89 00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:33,070 was it's not bad. Yeah. Yeah. The 90 00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:36,570 the the Bulbasaur, Venusaur, Ivysaur sort of combo, I 91 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:39,510 think, is is cooler if you're going to compare the 92 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:42,250 grass types overall. But so it's funny, as I always 93 00:04:42,250 --> 00:04:46,150 I often pick the Pokemon evolution I like the most. 94 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:47,550 Yeah. And then like the others, 95 00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:52,210 I'm like, ah. So like Squirtle, I I actually 96 00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:54,970 think Squirtle and Blast Ours are cool, but War 97 00:04:54,970 --> 00:04:58,710 Turtle sucks. OK, I like Bulbasaur and I 98 00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:00,930 love Ivysaur. I don't really care about 99 00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:03,230 Venusaur because I think he's ugly. OK. 100 00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:06,930 And then I sort of like Charmander. I 101 00:05:06,930 --> 00:05:09,570 dislike Charmeleon and I love Charizard. Yeah, 102 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:11,690 I think everyone's kind of on the same page. Like 103 00:05:11,690 --> 00:05:14,570 Charizard's pretty just cool looking like it just. Yeah. 104 00:05:14,670 --> 00:05:16,510 Is a cool looking Pokemon regardless. You 105 00:05:16,510 --> 00:05:17,990 don't have to like fire or what? You 106 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:20,490 know, I have to like. He's almost like. Who's 107 00:05:20,490 --> 00:05:22,690 a dragon? You have to pick Charmander 108 00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:24,550 because you know it turns into Charizard. Yeah. 109 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:27,090 Charmander and Charmeleon are kind of just meh. 110 00:05:27,609 --> 00:05:29,170 Whereas like if I was picking Gen 111 00:05:29,170 --> 00:05:32,190 One or like just from like the base evolutions, I 112 00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:34,610 probably would go Squirtle myself. OK, 113 00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:37,550 OK. See, I usually I usually went 114 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:39,550 Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur, I usually went with grass. 115 00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:41,970 I think because honestly, like 116 00:05:41,970 --> 00:05:44,730 I think it's because the first. I 117 00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:47,770 think the is it the first or the second gym and the 118 00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:50,290 water water is effective against against rock. Was 119 00:05:50,290 --> 00:05:51,270 it? Is that what it is? Yeah. 120 00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:53,430 So you could get obviously you could make the first 121 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:57,470 first gym easier. But grass was also kind of 122 00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:59,750 good against rock and then obviously good against 123 00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:01,930 water, which is I think the second or third one. 124 00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:03,310 So I think that's why I did 125 00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:04,290 it. And then by the time you 126 00:06:04,290 --> 00:06:06,390 evolve enough, like, oh, I got other buddies. I 127 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:08,650 got, you know, the other five to sort of round it 128 00:06:08,650 --> 00:06:10,770 out and stuff. And I always liked the way 129 00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:13,430 that all three of those looked. So 130 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:14,790 I think that's why I always went that way. And 131 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:17,250 also everybody loved Charmander because it was 132 00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:18,470 fire and it was a dragon. I'm 133 00:06:18,470 --> 00:06:20,110 like, you know what? I'm going to go the opposite 134 00:06:20,110 --> 00:06:22,510 because I'm. Yeah. Not a sheep. You 135 00:06:22,510 --> 00:06:24,210 know, that's. Yeah, it's not. There 136 00:06:24,210 --> 00:06:26,990 is a sheep mentality there that makes me not want to 137 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:30,010 pick Charizard or Charmander. And 138 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:31,830 I definitely was between the two. I 139 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:34,650 think what I did was I had so my original like 140 00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:37,770 blue play through. I had Squirtle. OK. 141 00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:40,590 And then in my when I went back and got leaf 142 00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:44,870 green, the remake, I did Bulbasaur. OK. 143 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:48,470 But but I really don't like Venusaur. And 144 00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:50,530 I don't like him because he's a very ugly frog. 145 00:06:50,890 --> 00:06:52,170 He's a very ugly toad. I 146 00:06:52,170 --> 00:06:54,150 think it's a toad. I think that's kind of what 147 00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:56,270 it is. And then like Bulbasaur and 148 00:06:56,270 --> 00:06:58,150 Ivysaur are cute. They are. And 149 00:06:58,157 --> 00:07:00,010 then you get they are. And you get Venusaur and he's 150 00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:01,430 just like really ugly and big. And 151 00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:03,550 I'm just like, he's like, he's more intense, right? 152 00:07:03,690 --> 00:07:04,950 All three of the final 153 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:07,330 revolutions are more intense, I would say, at 154 00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:09,290 least. But he's not intense in the 155 00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:11,210 way that would make him intimidating. He's 156 00:07:11,210 --> 00:07:13,250 intense in the way like they they turned him into 157 00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:16,570 clungo from Banjo or something like he just gets 158 00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:19,170 dopey. Whereas like Blastoise gets machine 159 00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:22,210 like rocket cannons on his back. He 160 00:07:22,217 --> 00:07:23,970 gets rocket launchers on his back. Darsaur 161 00:07:23,978 --> 00:07:26,810 gets wings. It's like he got he got a 162 00:07:26,810 --> 00:07:28,130 slightly bigger flower. That's 163 00:07:28,130 --> 00:07:31,470 what Venusaur got. Longer vines, man. He's 164 00:07:31,470 --> 00:07:33,850 more of a more of an intense weed. That's 165 00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:36,230 what it is. Although although I like it, I like 166 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:38,310 I like that I can use cut. I 167 00:07:38,310 --> 00:07:41,330 like that you can use. I can't remember what other 168 00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:43,290 ones are. There's like a spore one or 169 00:07:43,290 --> 00:07:44,490 something. I don't know. I 170 00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:45,770 like the moves that they had. Maybe 171 00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:47,670 that's part of what it's one of those comfort 172 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:50,130 things. Like the reason why I intro the 173 00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:52,950 way I did is because, hey, I pretty much only 174 00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:57,270 recognize the first maybe 200 Pokemon on an average 175 00:07:57,270 --> 00:08:00,510 day. Sometimes pop up and like I've seen 176 00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:02,810 that before. Could I name it? Hell 177 00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:04,790 no. But if you showed me the 178 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:11,050 original one fifty or fifty one, I would probably 90 179 00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:12,770 percent of the time be able to pull the name out 180 00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:15,270 of at a hat like top of my mind right away just 181 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:18,590 because I played. I also had the blue one. I 182 00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:20,110 also play. I played blue version, 183 00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:23,190 probably, I would say, 10 times at least. Yeah, 184 00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:24,790 at least on the original game. Yeah, 185 00:08:24,798 --> 00:08:27,490 at least so you want to know something I did that 186 00:08:27,490 --> 00:08:30,990 was really like stupid, but I did it and felt cool. 187 00:08:32,049 --> 00:08:34,350 Pokemon blue, you could do like 188 00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:38,890 Pokemon dooping. Oh, where if you it was I 189 00:08:38,890 --> 00:08:40,850 can't remember the exact way of doing it, but it 190 00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:44,710 was basically you could go into your box. You're 191 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:47,250 on the computer or whatever on the. Pokédex. 192 00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:49,410 Yeah. Well, you could go into your box 193 00:08:49,410 --> 00:08:51,090 and like organize your Pokemon. And 194 00:08:51,090 --> 00:08:53,830 it was like if you moved it and then quickly like 195 00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:56,950 ripped out the game, it would duplicate that 196 00:08:56,950 --> 00:08:59,130 Pokemon. Oh, I remember something like 197 00:08:59,130 --> 00:09:00,290 that. Now that you say that. Yeah, 198 00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:04,990 I had an entire team of Pidgeots. And 199 00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:06,790 they were all like level 100. And 200 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:08,910 they all just fly all the time so no one could ever 201 00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:10,530 hit you. Like you just hit fly. I 202 00:09:10,530 --> 00:09:13,090 just I liked Pidgeot as a kid too. Like 203 00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:15,550 those were those were surprisingly good. That 204 00:09:15,550 --> 00:09:18,410 was a surprisingly good early investment is to get 205 00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:20,190 grab a piggy and go with it. Love. 206 00:09:20,410 --> 00:09:24,290 I loved his his hair. I had like a little toy 207 00:09:24,290 --> 00:09:26,270 figure. And I think this is why I 208 00:09:26,270 --> 00:09:29,010 loved it so much. My dad got me like a Pokemon 209 00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:31,210 figure. It was like they had the 210 00:09:31,210 --> 00:09:35,410 Pokeball with like Pidgey and it actually might have 211 00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:37,610 been Pidgeotto. I can't remember his Pidgeot 212 00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:40,570 or not, but they look like somewhat similar. Yeah, 213 00:09:40,570 --> 00:09:42,430 somewhat similar. But I remember I had that toy 214 00:09:42,430 --> 00:09:43,950 and I just loved it because it was like the 215 00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:46,850 only Pokemon toy I had basically. And 216 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:49,470 so I was like, this is my Pokemon. And 217 00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:51,370 so it's the most common Pokemon, but it's mine. 218 00:09:51,770 --> 00:09:53,070 It's all maybe not. Yeah, 219 00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:56,170 it's like happened. Like for me, I was I mean, 220 00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:58,230 this is not the same. And obviously it kind of shows 221 00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:02,390 our age a little bit, but like I had. We 222 00:10:02,390 --> 00:10:04,710 have a Canada's Wonderland is what they call it, but 223 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:07,590 it was sponsored by Paramount. Like 224 00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:08,910 Paramount Canada's Wonderland. That's 225 00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:10,990 what it was. And we had Hannah, Barbara and 226 00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:12,570 everything was like, oh, yeah. Yeah. 227 00:10:12,890 --> 00:10:15,590 So Flintstones was a big thing growing up. I 228 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:17,430 watched lots of Flintstones. The 229 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:19,250 cartoon, the original cartoon was on repeat all 230 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:21,030 the time. The movies came out when I was 231 00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:28,470 younger and I won a. A Dino. At 232 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:31,130 a game at the theme park, not massive, but like, you 233 00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:33,890 know, a sort of cuddling type of plush toy. Plush 234 00:10:33,890 --> 00:10:36,230 toy when you're, you know, seven years old, five years 235 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:37,310 old, something like that. And 236 00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:39,910 I won it myself. I remember actually remember 237 00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:41,610 doing it. It's one of those games where 238 00:10:41,610 --> 00:10:45,830 you have to throw the the baseball in the basket and 239 00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:48,150 have it like sit and it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, 240 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:50,230 angled impossibly. And you just have to get. I 241 00:10:50,238 --> 00:10:52,010 think I said, yeah, you have to get like two out 242 00:10:52,010 --> 00:10:54,230 of five or something or two out of three. I 243 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:55,330 got it. I got it. Right. 244 00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:57,870 I'm going to blow your mind right now because I 245 00:10:57,870 --> 00:11:00,350 have had no one to tell this to. OK. 246 00:11:00,610 --> 00:11:03,210 And no one that's brought up the Flintstones in the 247 00:11:03,210 --> 00:11:05,770 same conversation. I went on Facebook 248 00:11:05,770 --> 00:11:07,830 Marketplace. I was game hunting. Yeah. 249 00:11:07,950 --> 00:11:10,210 And I was just looking at deals and stuff. And 250 00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:12,070 one of the things that just randomly popped up for 251 00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:15,330 me was someone made the Flintstones like vehicle 252 00:11:15,330 --> 00:11:19,970 like foot powered, like they just made it. But 253 00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:22,050 it's like extra long and they call it a Flintstones 254 00:11:22,050 --> 00:11:24,110 bus. And it was like it was like 255 00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:26,130 two hundred dollars or something. Like 256 00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:29,470 like like lifestyles like you'd sit in it. Like 257 00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:32,630 for people like you sit in it and you you move your 258 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:34,570 feet and it's got like a rolling wheel in the front. 259 00:11:34,770 --> 00:11:37,390 What? And I was like, who makes 260 00:11:37,390 --> 00:11:40,430 this? Who wouldn't want that? It 261 00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:43,230 was crazy, though. That's hilarious. Oh, 262 00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:46,070 my God. Yeah. That's great. Oh, 263 00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:48,630 my God. Anyways, your your Pidgey Pidgey 264 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:51,910 yacht or Pidgeotto is kind of like me where it's like 265 00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:54,690 I had this like affinity for Dino, for some reason, 266 00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:57,710 in the Flintstones. And I had that toy that plush 267 00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:00,970 for 20 years or something like that. His 268 00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:03,550 collar fell off. His neck was sort of like, you 269 00:12:03,550 --> 00:12:05,050 know, because it was like the thin part of his body 270 00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:06,770 and his tail. Yeah, kind of like, you know, 271 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:08,570 his head just kind of like sat to the side kind of 272 00:12:08,570 --> 00:12:11,050 thing. But I held on to it until I 273 00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:13,950 passed until I absolutely couldn't anymore. One 274 00:12:13,950 --> 00:12:15,550 of those like childhood things, right? So 275 00:12:15,550 --> 00:12:19,190 I don't have that for Pokemon, but I but I do 276 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:22,550 still have my original cartridge over there. My 277 00:12:22,558 --> 00:12:26,650 my Gameboy. My Gameboy is is in the 278 00:12:26,650 --> 00:12:29,950 grave, but but my cartridge itself still works. The 279 00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,870 battery is still alive. I have a Pokemon silver, but 280 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:35,150 that battery is dead. I didn't know that until 281 00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:37,490 after I played it for about three hours. So 282 00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:40,230 that sucks. That's why I've never gotten 283 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:41,950 through that games, because I haven't started it in 284 00:12:41,950 --> 00:12:44,910 any other way. But I played it for about two 285 00:12:44,910 --> 00:12:47,190 and a half to three hours a couple summers ago. I 286 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:49,010 hit save. I was like, all right, it's 287 00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:50,390 saved. I turned it off. Next 288 00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:53,370 day I turned it on. Start from the beginning. So 289 00:12:53,378 --> 00:12:55,190 I didn't realize. Oh, yeah. So 290 00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:56,690 I'm going to have to play through that one. I 291 00:12:56,690 --> 00:12:58,390 enjoyed the beginning few hours. That's 292 00:12:58,390 --> 00:13:00,170 all I got to say. So that's that's all I know 293 00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:03,350 about Gen two. So all of all of that, all 294 00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:04,810 of that. If anyone has a guess, yes, 295 00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:06,630 we are talking about Pokemon, not Flintstones, 296 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:07,870 but we could talk about both. And 297 00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,730 that's fine. We are talking about Pokemon 298 00:13:10,730 --> 00:13:13,950 Puzzle League. No, we are not hitting up 299 00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:16,490 Pokemon Stadium just yet. That 300 00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:17,890 will come at some point. But 301 00:13:17,890 --> 00:13:20,050 Pokemon Puzzle League is something that we're talking 302 00:13:20,050 --> 00:13:23,770 about this week. It's a game that has a bit of 303 00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:26,090 a mix of Tetris and Dr. Mario 304 00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:31,550 style and I think it's Tetris sphere or something. 305 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:32,610 I can't remember exactly which 306 00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:35,310 one it is. That is what we are going to 307 00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,730 be talking about this week. And 308 00:13:37,738 --> 00:13:40,790 to get things going and to see and just to hear a 309 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:43,590 little bit of it. This time, this should work. If 310 00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:45,930 anyone has listened to past episodes where the sound 311 00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:51,730 has not worked with me, I think this will work. OK, 312 00:13:51,910 --> 00:14:09,090 little intro. Welcome. 313 00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,190 It's so good to see you. Welcome. 314 00:14:13,610 --> 00:14:15,750 So it's like it doesn't even let it play for any 315 00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:16,910 longer. Like, come on, that would be 316 00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:18,650 nice, wouldn't it? I feel like that would be 317 00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:20,530 good. It would. It's 318 00:14:20,530 --> 00:14:22,790 so it's so weird that he's like saying things that 319 00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:25,110 aren't what his text dialogue says. Yes, 320 00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:27,730 so strange. And then this game. So 321 00:14:27,730 --> 00:14:31,130 OK, so. One of the reasons why we 322 00:14:31,130 --> 00:14:32,970 chose to do this is because we're not going to 323 00:14:32,978 --> 00:14:34,950 be able to play it. It's a pretty simple game to 324 00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:36,370 play. It's really just a puzzle game. 325 00:14:36,410 --> 00:14:37,470 It's kind of like Tetris. We're 326 00:14:37,470 --> 00:14:39,610 like, you know what, let's give it a shot. So 327 00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:41,970 we haven't played a game like this together or 328 00:14:41,970 --> 00:14:45,250 talked about a game quite like this yet. So 329 00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:46,910 I thought, you know what, it's on Switch Online as 330 00:14:46,910 --> 00:14:48,850 well. Let's let's just play it. I 331 00:14:48,850 --> 00:14:51,370 tried it on both. It plays exactly the same. I 332 00:14:51,370 --> 00:14:54,270 tried it on the 64 and I tried on Switch. It's 333 00:14:54,270 --> 00:14:56,870 literally exactly the same. So 334 00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:58,110 so that that was kind of fun. We 335 00:14:58,110 --> 00:14:59,710 had an experience to be able to do that. It's 336 00:14:59,710 --> 00:15:01,490 easily accessible. So if anyone wants to play it 337 00:15:01,490 --> 00:15:06,090 while you're listening. Then then you can do that. But 338 00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:10,190 before we before we dig into the game itself, I 339 00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:12,210 need to do this closer to the top because I will 340 00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:16,330 always forget, sir. I I need to make sure that 341 00:15:16,330 --> 00:15:19,270 we are plugging the Patreon page and talking about the 342 00:15:19,270 --> 00:15:21,550 podcast itself and your YouTube. Look 343 00:15:21,550 --> 00:15:23,130 at it. Look at it. So 344 00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:25,890 look at I'm plugging away. Patreon 345 00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:29,230 .com slash remember, sixty four show is where you can 346 00:15:29,230 --> 00:15:32,510 support this show monetarily with some free content as 347 00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:34,850 well. But episodes, every single 348 00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:37,150 episode, I think there's only been a handful, maybe 349 00:15:37,150 --> 00:15:38,770 a couple that I haven't been able to get out 350 00:15:38,770 --> 00:15:40,690 early, but the vast majority of them are at 351 00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:42,970 least a couple days early. Also 352 00:15:42,970 --> 00:15:45,390 some small other side reviews that I'm going to 353 00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:47,450 do, some free contents going up as well. So 354 00:15:47,450 --> 00:15:48,870 it is something where you can sort of have a one 355 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:51,590 stop shop of some extra content like sometimes going 356 00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:53,130 to be written. I'm probably going to record a 357 00:15:53,130 --> 00:15:55,650 couple of audio things of stuff that is not and 358 00:15:55,650 --> 00:15:57,010 sixty four related as well. So 359 00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:58,110 there's going to be a little bit of a variety. 360 00:15:58,110 --> 00:15:59,990 But it really just gives you a 361 00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:03,030 chance to keep the show running, keep the show 362 00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:06,170 going kind of thing. So that's the easiest way to 363 00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:08,450 support the show. And if you can't or don't want 364 00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:11,930 to monetarily, totally up to you. Leave 365 00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:14,690 us a rating leave us a rating on your podcast, App 366 00:16:14,690 --> 00:16:17,330 of Choice. Typically it is a Apple or Spotify. 367 00:16:17,630 --> 00:16:18,350 I think those are the easiest 368 00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:21,070 and the ones that really take ratings, quote unquote, 369 00:16:21,150 --> 00:16:24,890 seriously, I guess. But yeah, give us a star 370 00:16:24,890 --> 00:16:27,370 rating across the board on those. And 371 00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:31,030 it'll help us know how well we're doing or not 372 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:32,410 doing. And it'll also help more people 373 00:16:32,410 --> 00:16:33,970 find the show because the more ratings and more 374 00:16:33,970 --> 00:16:37,850 positive ratings we get, the the more chance more 375 00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:39,710 people are going to find it just kind of organically 376 00:16:39,710 --> 00:16:40,890 and be able to do that. So 377 00:16:40,898 --> 00:16:43,250 what Dave is trying to say. Yes. 378 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:45,110 What am I trying to say? He 379 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:49,970 wants to be the very best. I 380 00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:53,210 want to be the very best. No 381 00:16:53,210 --> 00:16:57,650 one ever was. Like no podcast that there ever 382 00:16:57,650 --> 00:17:02,370 was ever, ever, ever. To rate him is your true 383 00:17:02,370 --> 00:17:09,710 quest. To pay him is his cause. OK, 384 00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:11,310 sir, you are brilliant. You're 385 00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:15,010 so much better at this than I am. So, 386 00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:18,569 OK, so. Whoops, I changed my window and I 387 00:17:18,569 --> 00:17:21,750 screwed this up. Man, come on. Really? 388 00:17:22,490 --> 00:17:24,510 Real time figuring things out, people. Here 389 00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:27,430 we go. OK, so Pokemon Puzzle League. 390 00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:29,750 Pokemon Puzzle League. Pokemon 391 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:31,610 Puzzle League. Let's talk a little bit about 392 00:17:31,610 --> 00:17:33,750 how this game was made, because of course, let's 393 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:36,650 bust out the history books, everyone. I'm 394 00:17:36,650 --> 00:17:39,310 learning. We're going back to September of 395 00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:42,630 2000. So much later in the console 396 00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:45,050 cycle than I thought it was. I'm 397 00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:46,450 not sure if you had any. Yeah, 398 00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:48,770 it's in North America, at least, right? That's 399 00:17:48,770 --> 00:17:49,690 where I was in North America. So 400 00:17:49,698 --> 00:17:54,570 OK, Pokemon Puzzle League is I wrote down straight 401 00:17:54,570 --> 00:17:58,510 up a Nintendo joint that is published by Nintendo, 402 00:17:58,810 --> 00:18:01,629 developed by a Nintendo studio. Nintendo 403 00:18:01,629 --> 00:18:04,970 software technology. Does that sound familiar to you 404 00:18:04,970 --> 00:18:06,370 at all? I don't know if that Nintendo 405 00:18:06,370 --> 00:18:10,410 software technology. Yeah, it's very, very vague, but 406 00:18:10,410 --> 00:18:12,630 they have a lot of they have a hand in a lot of 407 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:15,550 other games that I'd be like, oh, shit, that's 408 00:18:15,550 --> 00:18:18,630 pretty good. OK, so Nintendo software 409 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:23,610 technology is an in -house North American developer 410 00:18:23,610 --> 00:18:27,770 that Nintendo launched specifically to make more 411 00:18:27,770 --> 00:18:30,350 games in North America and just give them a bigger 412 00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:32,470 sort of portfolio. I guess you could call it 413 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:35,370 around this time. So as I did my searching, I 414 00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:38,550 realized that they made a whole bunch of stuff for 415 00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:42,350 the N64 or sorry, a couple of things for the N64 and 416 00:18:42,350 --> 00:18:44,310 then did a lot of other things that weren't just 417 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:46,730 games. So they did the 64 emulator 418 00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:50,250 for the Wii and they also did funny little things 419 00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:53,950 like Mario and Animal Crossing calculators and 420 00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:57,370 clocks for the DS. Interesting, 421 00:18:57,830 --> 00:19:00,090 which is so random. So random. It 422 00:19:00,098 --> 00:19:02,970 is. So all the rage, I guess. I 423 00:19:02,970 --> 00:19:06,350 guess I don't know. I didn't have a DS, so I 424 00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:09,050 don't know if it was the rage. Oh, 425 00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:13,230 man, there's nothing like driving into a shady, shady 426 00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:17,370 neighborhood and getting a random picto chat. Sure. 427 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,370 Is that is that what the kids call it these days? 428 00:19:20,650 --> 00:19:22,290 If you go, if you go places 429 00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:25,090 and you just like have your picto chat on, I did 430 00:19:25,090 --> 00:19:26,530 that. I bet other people did that, 431 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:28,390 too. That's just be like seeing if 432 00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:30,250 someone else had picto chat that you could like chat 433 00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:32,470 with and like draw pictures and send pictures and 434 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:34,130 stuff. Oh, that's so it's kind of 435 00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:36,750 what they call on 3ds. Was it like not Game Pass? It 436 00:19:36,758 --> 00:19:38,590 was they call it Street Pass. Street. 437 00:19:38,650 --> 00:19:40,970 Yes. But it's not not quite the 438 00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:42,970 same, but similar concept. It 439 00:19:42,970 --> 00:19:45,890 just it's way better than picto chat was just really 440 00:19:45,890 --> 00:19:48,110 cool because it was just like drawing and like notes 441 00:19:48,110 --> 00:19:49,530 and stuff. Oh, OK. In 442 00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:52,810 in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, 443 00:19:52,970 --> 00:19:55,550 there is a stage that's like picto chat and they 444 00:19:55,550 --> 00:19:56,830 have like little messages. Oh, 445 00:19:56,850 --> 00:19:58,350 yes. Oh, that's what that's from. 446 00:19:58,410 --> 00:19:59,170 Yeah. OK. See, 447 00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:00,890 they know all that time. That 448 00:20:00,890 --> 00:20:02,190 is that's a cool looking level, too. I 449 00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:04,410 like that one. Yeah, it kind of like evolves. 450 00:20:04,650 --> 00:20:05,550 Doesn't like the background like 451 00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:07,550 move and stuff. Yeah, changes in everything. 452 00:20:07,850 --> 00:20:08,670 Changes. Yeah, that one's cool. 453 00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:11,330 Nice. What else? OK. 454 00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:14,630 Puzzle League was one of their first games, was one 455 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,370 of the first games that they've remained, but they 456 00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:18,690 also created a bunch of other great games over the 457 00:20:18,690 --> 00:20:21,490 years. One of them is a game that we 458 00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:25,610 played this past year. They developed Wave Race Blue 459 00:20:25,610 --> 00:20:28,610 Storm. So they made the sequel. Yeah, 460 00:20:28,670 --> 00:20:31,510 they made the sequel to Wave Race 64. So 461 00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:34,550 if you want to hear us talk about that episode or 462 00:20:34,550 --> 00:20:38,610 level 49, we talk about Wave Race and that is the 463 00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:39,810 sequel to it on GameCube. So 464 00:20:39,810 --> 00:20:42,830 they made that and they also made the Mario vs. 465 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:45,370 Donkey Kong franchise as well as 466 00:20:45,370 --> 00:20:49,990 the remake that just came out and F -099, which also 467 00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:51,430 came out within the last. Wow. 468 00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:53,990 Yeah. And they're coming back. Yeah. 469 00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:57,170 So they have done a lot of really cool stuff. I 470 00:20:57,170 --> 00:21:01,270 think that is a pretty good pedigree of games. I 471 00:21:01,270 --> 00:21:04,850 would say maybe not all like all star type of 472 00:21:04,850 --> 00:21:07,050 games, but but those. And that's not all of them. 473 00:21:07,070 --> 00:21:07,950 They made other ones, too. Those 474 00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:09,910 are just sort of the ones that I that I sort of 475 00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:12,610 made note of. But but that's pretty good. I 476 00:21:12,610 --> 00:21:13,390 think that's pretty good. So 477 00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:15,910 that they must have known and been happy with this 478 00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:18,070 because they thought, oh, this isn't pretty good 479 00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:20,790 hands. Let's let's keep going with these 480 00:21:20,790 --> 00:21:23,610 guys. So yeah, that's basically it. 481 00:21:23,730 --> 00:21:25,290 I think they it seems like 482 00:21:25,290 --> 00:21:27,610 everything that I looked up was Nintendo wanted to make 483 00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:31,650 a Tetris like game. This was one of the ways that 484 00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:34,450 they've done it. There's a puzzle league also for, 485 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:38,430 I believe it is for a GBA plays very similar, but it 486 00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:41,710 doesn't have the exact same setup and everything as far 487 00:21:41,710 --> 00:21:44,250 as modes go. We'll get into it, but there are 488 00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:46,510 a bunch of different modes you can play. But 489 00:21:46,510 --> 00:21:50,730 to start things off, Jiggy, what did you think of 490 00:21:50,730 --> 00:21:54,110 Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64? Well, 491 00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:56,890 OK, so first off, I got a few thoughts. One, 492 00:21:57,130 --> 00:21:58,210 please. I don't know if it was 493 00:21:58,210 --> 00:22:02,790 mentioned, but I believe it said it's based. It's 494 00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:07,070 based on Nintendo's pre -existing game, Panel Daypon. 495 00:22:07,650 --> 00:22:09,310 I saw that, yeah. But 496 00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:11,770 it was so I was never released as far as I can 497 00:22:11,770 --> 00:22:14,150 find. It was something that they 498 00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:15,990 worked on, but I don't know that it was released. 499 00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:17,130 I could be wrong about that. 500 00:22:17,230 --> 00:22:19,110 That's that's what I saw. It 501 00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:21,350 looks like it was. Was it? OK. 502 00:22:22,170 --> 00:22:26,730 Yeah. And the well, it says the 503 00:22:26,730 --> 00:22:29,290 English patch was 2007. I don't know in the actual 504 00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:32,150 end, but but apparently it was based on that game, 505 00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:35,570 which it's you know, it's a puzzle game. There's 506 00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:39,250 a there's a lot of puzzle games that function very 507 00:22:39,250 --> 00:22:42,030 similar. Yeah. And you'll find that a lot 508 00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:45,250 of these puzzle games are based on like two or three 509 00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:48,370 different games. Like it's like at the at the 510 00:22:48,370 --> 00:22:51,010 core, there's like three puzzle games that cover 511 00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:53,570 like every other puzzle game. And 512 00:22:53,570 --> 00:22:57,470 then they're just kind of reskins or rethemes. You 513 00:22:57,470 --> 00:23:01,670 know, it plays functionally sort of like Dr. Mario, 514 00:23:02,110 --> 00:23:06,310 except I I found this hard personally. OK. 515 00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:09,890 I was struggling throughout. But 516 00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:14,330 to talk about the Pokemon theme. Yeah, 517 00:23:14,450 --> 00:23:16,730 because that's a that's a draw, right? I 518 00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:18,830 mean, like that's that's part of the point of doing 519 00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:20,590 this is that, oh, you're doing something different. 520 00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:22,750 It's not just, you know, another 521 00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:27,310 not only not only is it a draw, but this is 522 00:23:27,310 --> 00:23:30,950 specifically catering to fans of the anime. Right. 523 00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,050 Right. No Pokemon game ever did that 524 00:23:34,050 --> 00:23:36,290 really. Like, I mean, there might be a 525 00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:39,170 handful, but few and far between that actually 526 00:23:39,170 --> 00:23:41,470 focused on like Ash being the main character. And 527 00:23:41,470 --> 00:23:43,590 the fact that you boot up this game and you get a 528 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:45,490 full like movie sequence. Right. 529 00:23:46,170 --> 00:23:48,910 That was awesome. Yeah. I loved that. I 530 00:23:48,910 --> 00:23:51,650 owe that is that's where we have to start to 531 00:23:51,650 --> 00:23:55,770 because I captured the clip of Professor Oak saying, 532 00:23:55,890 --> 00:23:59,970 hey, you're involved in the Pokemon Puzzle League. And 533 00:23:59,970 --> 00:24:02,970 this is part of his explanation. Being 534 00:24:02,970 --> 00:24:05,330 selected for this event is such an honor. Well, 535 00:24:05,330 --> 00:24:09,410 there's no time to explain everything. You 536 00:24:09,410 --> 00:24:12,110 know, classic Professor. Be excited, but also there's 537 00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:13,410 no time. There's no time. We 538 00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:17,290 have no time. I love how Professor Oak is 539 00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:20,170 always like, he's that guy that's always there somehow. 540 00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:22,130 Yeah. He's always explaining 541 00:24:22,130 --> 00:24:25,630 something to you, but he doesn't actually have much 542 00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:28,890 to say. Or he's like, he's like, oh, 543 00:24:29,030 --> 00:24:32,070 Ash, I see you've got your first badge. Congratulations. 544 00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:35,050 Badgers are drives away. Like 545 00:24:35,058 --> 00:24:39,430 he never, he never, he's like the he's the Neil 546 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:43,130 deGrasse Tyson of the Pokemon world. He's 547 00:24:43,130 --> 00:24:46,410 always explaining everything, but it's kind of like 548 00:24:46,410 --> 00:24:51,710 roundabout, never finishes a thought like he's got the 549 00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:53,390 knowledge. He's got the knowledge. He's 550 00:24:53,390 --> 00:24:54,790 just he's just not. Of course. He's 551 00:24:54,790 --> 00:24:56,650 not putting together. He is a Pokemon expert. Of 552 00:24:56,650 --> 00:24:59,150 course. Of course. He 553 00:24:59,150 --> 00:25:00,470 always talks like this. There's 554 00:25:00,470 --> 00:25:03,890 no time, Ash. There's no time. There 555 00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:06,270 is no time. I want to help you with 556 00:25:06,270 --> 00:25:09,430 puzzles and Pokemon, I guess, but there's no time. 557 00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:12,050 There's no time to explain other 558 00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:15,430 than it is a great honor. All 559 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:18,270 you need to know is you should be honored. You 560 00:25:18,270 --> 00:25:21,270 should be honored. Not many people get to play in 561 00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:23,910 the Pokemon puzzle league. You 562 00:25:23,910 --> 00:25:27,070 need to move around pink, red, blue, green, sometimes 563 00:25:27,070 --> 00:25:32,930 blue, sometimes gray squares, go Pokemon. Yep. 564 00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:34,690 That's pretty much the game. Play. 565 00:25:34,990 --> 00:25:38,750 And that's the game. Yeah. So yeah, so if anyone 566 00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:41,310 doesn't know, it's it's quick. Like 567 00:25:41,310 --> 00:25:43,270 you said, it's based on a lot of other other games 568 00:25:43,270 --> 00:25:45,450 for sure. You're right. Tetris, 569 00:25:45,730 --> 00:25:47,910 Dr. Mario like. There's 570 00:25:47,910 --> 00:25:50,110 all obviously different types of Tetris as well. 571 00:25:51,370 --> 00:25:53,310 One of the things that that 572 00:25:53,310 --> 00:25:55,750 differentiates this is there's a possibility. I 573 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:57,450 don't know if you got to it, but there's a 574 00:25:57,450 --> 00:26:01,870 possibility to play a 3D version of. I 575 00:26:01,878 --> 00:26:03,470 heard that. These stages. Yeah. 576 00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:06,750 So. Like any other puzzle game like 577 00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:09,850 this with the bricks or pieces falling down from 578 00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:11,910 top to bottom, and you need to match three or 579 00:26:11,910 --> 00:26:14,210 four or five or however many you can do or combos 580 00:26:14,210 --> 00:26:17,450 to clear the bottom of the screen. Actually, 581 00:26:17,470 --> 00:26:18,990 they don't fall from the from the top here. They 582 00:26:18,990 --> 00:26:19,990 come from the bottom. That's 583 00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:21,930 how this works. And if you get a combo and 584 00:26:21,930 --> 00:26:23,970 you're playing against someone, then it falls from 585 00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:25,450 the top and you have to deal with it that way. So 586 00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:26,930 it's a little bit different, not quite Tetris, 587 00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:29,150 but. OK, here's the thing. Here's 588 00:26:29,150 --> 00:26:30,770 the mechanic I don't understand. OK. 589 00:26:31,850 --> 00:26:34,630 Right now, what just happened? Yes, 590 00:26:34,810 --> 00:26:37,630 you were selecting your Pokemon. OK, 591 00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:38,750 yeah, we've got to get to this. Yes, 592 00:26:38,850 --> 00:26:41,870 yes, either. A Pikachu, Squirtle or 593 00:26:41,870 --> 00:26:43,650 Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur, yeah. Same 594 00:26:43,650 --> 00:26:45,090 options the whole way through. As 595 00:26:45,090 --> 00:26:47,910 far as I know, as far as I've experienced, it was 596 00:26:47,910 --> 00:26:49,250 the same all the way through. I 597 00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:52,170 played two different difficulties in the normal, 598 00:26:52,330 --> 00:26:55,530 like one player mode. And then I think I played, I 599 00:26:55,530 --> 00:26:58,850 want to say a total of a couple of hours in like 600 00:26:58,850 --> 00:27:01,370 the other modes sort of combined kind of thing. So 601 00:27:01,370 --> 00:27:03,750 yeah. So my question about that is 602 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:08,430 does type affect the match? So 603 00:27:08,430 --> 00:27:11,850 Misty, for example, year is a water type water. Yeah. 604 00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:14,130 And you are using Bulbasaur. Yep. 605 00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:17,810 And it seems right now you had an advantage right off 606 00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:21,090 the bat, like she had more squares populating her side 607 00:27:21,730 --> 00:27:23,450 just from the get go. Right. 608 00:27:23,650 --> 00:27:26,150 And I'm wondering if maybe that was my problem. I 609 00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:29,870 wasn't like addressing that mechanic. And 610 00:27:29,870 --> 00:27:32,670 like that might be why I was finding it harder. So 611 00:27:32,670 --> 00:27:35,570 I can't find anything about that specifically. OK, 612 00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:38,250 so I got Nintendo power. This 613 00:27:38,250 --> 00:27:40,630 is where I wanted to get my research from. This 614 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:43,510 is exactly what I was thinking, too. I 615 00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:47,810 had no idea if it mattered automatically. Like 616 00:27:47,810 --> 00:27:50,350 you see, like you said, I see Misty and I'm like, 617 00:27:50,490 --> 00:27:52,550 cool, I'm going to use Bulbasaur. Why 618 00:27:52,550 --> 00:27:54,190 wouldn't I? We just talked about this five 619 00:27:54,190 --> 00:27:55,390 minutes ago, you know? Yeah. 620 00:27:56,190 --> 00:27:58,490 It's going to give me an advantage. So 621 00:27:58,490 --> 00:28:01,490 Nintendo power issue one thirty six. It's 622 00:28:01,490 --> 00:28:04,830 one of the games that's on here or featured in the 623 00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:08,670 Nintendo power issue. And it's basically just like a 624 00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:10,990 feature of like, I think it's like six pages. So 625 00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:12,730 it's not huge, but it's on there. Sort 626 00:28:12,730 --> 00:28:14,790 of tell you what the game is and what you can 627 00:28:14,790 --> 00:28:16,550 expect. So different modes. I 628 00:28:16,550 --> 00:28:19,730 can chain the blocks together. You 629 00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:23,030 know, they have fun titles like block party and quite 630 00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:26,110 a puzzler. You know, stuff that you would 631 00:28:26,110 --> 00:28:30,790 expect in Nintendo power in in 2000. As 632 00:28:30,790 --> 00:28:33,310 I looked through this and as I was trying to find 633 00:28:33,310 --> 00:28:36,410 out if that even mattered, I also found the manual at 634 00:28:36,410 --> 00:28:40,110 one point. I I really don't think it 635 00:28:40,110 --> 00:28:42,810 matters. It doesn't seem like it makes 636 00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:47,510 any difference at all. It's just choice. And 637 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:50,970 that's it. OK. And to me, that's a missed 638 00:28:50,970 --> 00:28:53,310 opportunity. That's disappointing to me because. 639 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:56,530 It's kind of like when you 640 00:28:56,530 --> 00:29:00,110 start, you know, any Pokemon game, or at least 641 00:29:00,110 --> 00:29:02,710 I think this is how the newer ones also make or 642 00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:04,850 start. But presumably all the Pokemon 643 00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:08,930 games you pick your starter or however the latest ones 644 00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:12,070 for switch work. And, you know, within the first 645 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:14,430 few minutes, you're facing your rival. Your 646 00:29:14,430 --> 00:29:16,990 rival always picks the one that is most effective 647 00:29:16,990 --> 00:29:19,090 against you. Yeah. Yeah. So 648 00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,710 Misty pops up, for example, and she's water. But 649 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:26,030 you choose first and she chooses a water type if 650 00:29:26,030 --> 00:29:28,050 you choose fire, for example, something like 651 00:29:28,050 --> 00:29:30,110 that, right? But that's the fun in is that 652 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:33,870 now you have to work up against what is most 653 00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:36,010 difficult in that. That's part of the of the 654 00:29:36,010 --> 00:29:38,430 struggle, right, is be able to. As 655 00:29:38,430 --> 00:29:41,190 far as I can tell, there is nothing that I can 656 00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:43,050 find. Please, if people are listening or 657 00:29:43,050 --> 00:29:46,590 watching, tell me if it matters, but I played 658 00:29:46,590 --> 00:29:50,970 through the easy and normal difficulties in the one 659 00:29:50,970 --> 00:29:53,430 player from start to finish. And 660 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:54,730 it didn't make a difference. I 661 00:29:54,730 --> 00:29:56,030 didn't find any difference. The 662 00:29:56,030 --> 00:29:59,670 difference I found was the AI was better because they 663 00:29:59,670 --> 00:30:02,150 were faster. They made more combos and more 664 00:30:02,150 --> 00:30:04,670 stuff dropped from the top. I 665 00:30:04,670 --> 00:30:07,370 wish that was there. I think that that's what 666 00:30:07,370 --> 00:30:10,310 makes it Pokemon is that that's the. Yeah, 667 00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:14,270 that's the turn based battle RPG part of it. Is 668 00:30:14,270 --> 00:30:18,010 that I don't. But like we said, it's a. It's 669 00:30:18,010 --> 00:30:19,990 the same puzzle game just with a different skin. 670 00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:21,930 Yeah, that's essentially that's 671 00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:24,730 the problem. You know, it did make me feel, 672 00:30:24,810 --> 00:30:28,330 though, that having that option had some sort of 673 00:30:28,330 --> 00:30:31,210 advantage or disadvantage if you chose wrong. Yeah. 674 00:30:31,970 --> 00:30:34,550 So it made me think it made me think in Pokemon 675 00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:36,470 terms. Yeah, 100 percent. The 676 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:39,070 world of Pokemon and the world of Pokemon types 677 00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:42,170 matter. Diggy, if you pick fire against 678 00:30:42,170 --> 00:30:48,730 water. You get steam. Science, 679 00:30:48,850 --> 00:30:52,670 bitches. Oak out. Oak 680 00:30:52,670 --> 00:30:55,790 just slides off screen. Gets 681 00:30:55,790 --> 00:30:58,890 in his Flintstone bus and runs away and gets out of 682 00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:03,870 there. Yeah, it's it's I look the game. 683 00:31:04,030 --> 00:31:05,150 Like you said, the game works 684 00:31:05,150 --> 00:31:08,570 well functionally. It it does exactly what it's 685 00:31:08,570 --> 00:31:10,510 supposed to. I think, you know, it's it's 686 00:31:10,510 --> 00:31:12,590 smooth. It feels pretty good to play 687 00:31:12,590 --> 00:31:15,410 it, I would say. But yeah, it's it's kind of a 688 00:31:15,410 --> 00:31:18,570 missed opportunity that there isn't more Pokemon 689 00:31:18,570 --> 00:31:21,490 like stuff that you can do in it. Like 690 00:31:21,498 --> 00:31:24,590 I feel like if they're like maybe you don't have 691 00:31:24,590 --> 00:31:25,930 to level up your characters. That's 692 00:31:25,930 --> 00:31:27,430 fine. You know, you just go from, 693 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:30,110 you know, level one to level 11 in the single 694 00:31:30,110 --> 00:31:32,450 player, you know, you play multiplayer against someone. 695 00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:33,330 That's totally fine. I 696 00:31:33,330 --> 00:31:35,030 get it. There's a time trial type of 697 00:31:35,030 --> 00:31:38,730 thing. There's also a mode where you have 698 00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:41,610 to do all you have to clear a screen in a 699 00:31:41,610 --> 00:31:44,830 certain amount of moves. I don't remember exactly which 700 00:31:44,830 --> 00:31:47,370 one that's called, but I have the thing that you 701 00:31:47,370 --> 00:31:49,870 were to the spot. No, not spot puzzle university. 702 00:31:50,170 --> 00:31:51,410 That's what it is. I 703 00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:54,530 tried those. Who eventually they're tough, 704 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:55,970 man. They give you like a screen 705 00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:58,650 with a, you know, mishmash of blocks. And 706 00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:01,570 I was like, shit, man, sometimes I spent 10 707 00:32:01,570 --> 00:32:05,450 minutes on one of them. I was like, yeah, it's this 708 00:32:05,450 --> 00:32:09,610 is this is hard. This this game is as far as my 709 00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:12,590 my puzzles go. So here's how I view it. I 710 00:32:12,590 --> 00:32:14,350 don't know what the original games are. OK. 711 00:32:14,350 --> 00:32:16,890 But you have, I guess you do have Tetris and stuff, 712 00:32:16,990 --> 00:32:19,090 but I wasn't even going to count that. Yeah. 713 00:32:19,310 --> 00:32:22,810 These puzzle games like. Dr. Mario. 714 00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:26,810 This one. And 715 00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:29,650 Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine. Oh, 716 00:32:29,650 --> 00:32:31,270 I've never played that. I've 717 00:32:31,270 --> 00:32:33,310 never played. OK. Well, let me just say, 718 00:32:33,470 --> 00:32:36,890 having played all of these. Dr. Robotnik's 719 00:32:36,890 --> 00:32:40,470 mean bean machine still stands at the pinnacle. Oh, 720 00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:41,730 really? OK. It 721 00:32:41,730 --> 00:32:44,150 is my favorite. It is my favorite. I 722 00:32:44,150 --> 00:32:47,630 go back to I like puzzle games. Yeah, 723 00:32:47,630 --> 00:32:52,570 I find them like relaxing in a casual way, like 724 00:32:52,570 --> 00:32:54,330 whenever I'm just like, I'm just going to go play a 725 00:32:54,330 --> 00:32:57,390 couple rounds of. Dr. Robotnik's 726 00:32:57,390 --> 00:32:59,390 mean bean machine is the one I go back to. 727 00:32:59,610 --> 00:33:01,330 Sometimes I do go to Dr. Mario 728 00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:03,130 and I play a little Dr. Mario, 729 00:33:03,130 --> 00:33:07,670 but I just love mean bean machine. And 730 00:33:07,670 --> 00:33:11,050 I don't see myself going back to Pokemon Puzzle 731 00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:13,950 League. OK, it just it doesn't feel 732 00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:17,250 as fleshed out. It feels like the Pokemon 733 00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,950 theme is a shoehorned in there and it doesn't 734 00:33:19,950 --> 00:33:23,690 actually do too much. I like the the actual like 735 00:33:23,690 --> 00:33:27,110 anime being incorporated rather than the just the 736 00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:28,650 games. It looks good. It 737 00:33:28,650 --> 00:33:29,690 definitely looks good. Video. 738 00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:35,470 Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Professor Oaks, cool. Yeah, 739 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:37,630 it's just, you know, it just doesn't do enough for 740 00:33:37,630 --> 00:33:42,730 me, I guess. Yeah, so I played when I 741 00:33:42,730 --> 00:33:46,290 realized that this was on Switch Online. I 742 00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:47,990 think I think they put it on like a few months ago 743 00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:51,050 as of this recording, like sometime in 2023, I believe 744 00:33:51,050 --> 00:33:52,650 it went on. Maybe it was even earlier than 745 00:33:52,650 --> 00:33:54,750 that. On my emulation device, I 746 00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:58,730 played the the GBA one is the GBA version of the 747 00:33:58,730 --> 00:34:01,110 game is Pokemon Puzzle Challenge is what it's 748 00:34:01,110 --> 00:34:03,550 called. It's actually the same game, but 749 00:34:03,550 --> 00:34:06,290 there's a little bit more of like a story element to 750 00:34:06,290 --> 00:34:07,590 it. I wouldn't call it like, you 751 00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:09,710 know, really detailed or heavy or anything like 752 00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:11,610 that. But you basically go across 753 00:34:11,610 --> 00:34:14,449 this this the screen from right to left or left to 754 00:34:14,449 --> 00:34:18,130 right and and you kind of bump into other characters, 755 00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:21,290 recognizable ones in the in the Pokemon world. And 756 00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:24,610 you and I think this includes also Gen 2. Yeah, 757 00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:28,070 it also includes Gen 2 in it. And 758 00:34:28,070 --> 00:34:29,889 you're kind of fighting different and battling 759 00:34:29,889 --> 00:34:31,210 different people as you go. It's 760 00:34:31,210 --> 00:34:34,650 not just, hey, here's one, two, three, four and so 761 00:34:34,650 --> 00:34:37,409 on. And just fight the gym gym 762 00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:39,310 leaders. And that's basically the one 763 00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:41,429 player version of it. It actually has a little bit 764 00:34:41,429 --> 00:34:44,170 of that, you know, quote unquote story to it. And 765 00:34:44,170 --> 00:34:46,929 it plays the same way. It just does. And 766 00:34:46,929 --> 00:34:48,889 the screen is obviously a little bit smaller. It's 767 00:34:48,889 --> 00:34:52,110 actually more horizontal than vertical. So 768 00:34:52,110 --> 00:34:54,570 it's a little bit different that way. That 769 00:34:54,570 --> 00:34:58,990 felt more fleshed out as far as single player goes. 770 00:34:59,310 --> 00:35:01,310 If you want to do, like I 771 00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:03,170 said, the quote unquote story version of it, 772 00:35:03,170 --> 00:35:05,550 there's more modes in this one, because it's just more 773 00:35:05,550 --> 00:35:08,170 possible to possible to put more things on here. But 774 00:35:08,170 --> 00:35:12,290 unless you're playing this multiplayer, it does your 775 00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:14,330 right. It does just feel like a skin 776 00:35:14,330 --> 00:35:16,250 with with Pokemon. It looked, I think it looks 777 00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:18,910 good. But like these these kind of 778 00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:22,850 games aren't something that I would particularly play 779 00:35:22,850 --> 00:35:25,430 multiplayer. I understand there's a there's 780 00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:30,050 a 2v2 mechanic. Yeah. But. Again, 781 00:35:30,750 --> 00:35:32,730 there are other games I would. I 782 00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,270 would do that before this as far as puzzle games go. 783 00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:36,370 Like this is not the game that 784 00:35:36,370 --> 00:35:38,870 I think of. And maybe I just have zero 785 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:42,810 nostalgia for it. But I just I I'm not I'm not 786 00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:45,470 huge into Pokemon. I was in the wave. I 787 00:35:45,470 --> 00:35:48,750 liked Pokemon. I was never like Pokemon is 788 00:35:48,750 --> 00:35:52,570 everything. Yeah, same, same. But 789 00:35:52,570 --> 00:35:57,029 if you were talking about Beyblades. See, 790 00:35:57,029 --> 00:35:59,530 I would be like, I what's a what's a Beyblade? You 791 00:35:59,530 --> 00:36:00,810 know, like, I know what it is, but you know what I 792 00:36:00,810 --> 00:36:02,870 mean? Like I just know it doesn't 793 00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:05,790 mean that means literally next to nothing to me. 794 00:36:05,970 --> 00:36:08,390 Beyblades and dude, I love just 795 00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:12,330 launching a Beyblade. And you've explained it sounds. 796 00:36:13,050 --> 00:36:14,210 It sounds cool. Like 797 00:36:14,210 --> 00:36:16,390 it sounds. It just was out of the age 798 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:17,770 range at that time for me. That's 799 00:36:17,770 --> 00:36:19,130 that's really what it was. Like 800 00:36:19,130 --> 00:36:21,870 I used to have all my fingers. Man, 801 00:36:22,110 --> 00:36:24,510 I miss my I miss my right pinky. It 802 00:36:24,510 --> 00:36:28,830 was great. Man, I regret nothing. I 803 00:36:28,830 --> 00:36:31,450 am a Beyblade Masters. I would as Beyblade Masters 804 00:36:31,450 --> 00:36:32,970 Beyblade Masters Bay champion. Bay 805 00:36:32,970 --> 00:36:34,730 champion. Oh, OK, I like that. Oh, 806 00:36:34,770 --> 00:36:35,570 yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It 807 00:36:35,570 --> 00:36:37,990 sounds cool, too. Also, it looked pretty cool. 808 00:36:38,250 --> 00:36:39,530 Beyblades look look kind of cool. I 809 00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:40,490 get it. I get it. I 810 00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:41,950 get it. There's like an arena. It's 811 00:36:41,950 --> 00:36:43,870 physical, such as cards. Well, 812 00:36:43,890 --> 00:36:46,470 it had an anime, too. It had an anime, too. That 813 00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:49,050 that's what I know it from is just that is seen that 814 00:36:49,050 --> 00:36:52,390 the commercials like on TV, essentially, everything was 815 00:36:52,390 --> 00:36:53,670 trying to mimic Pokemon. Right. 816 00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,570 Sure. And Beyblade, it's about 817 00:36:55,570 --> 00:36:58,390 spinning tops, but the spinning tops had monsters 818 00:36:58,390 --> 00:37:01,190 like stickers in the middle. And 819 00:37:01,190 --> 00:37:03,750 in the show, those monsters would like beam out of the 820 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:06,550 Beyblades, like holograms almost. And 821 00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:08,370 then the monsters would like fight and the 822 00:37:08,370 --> 00:37:10,170 Beyblades would be like replicating how the monsters 823 00:37:10,170 --> 00:37:12,570 are fighting. Hey, that you know what? That's 824 00:37:12,570 --> 00:37:15,050 an inventive idea. I think it was cool. Yeah. 825 00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:16,630 That's I you know what? Hey, 826 00:37:16,650 --> 00:37:19,690 man, you're not crazy. My favorite was Black Dronzer. 827 00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:22,250 Dronzer. It was. Yeah, 828 00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:24,970 Dronzer was like a red phoenix. OK. 829 00:37:25,090 --> 00:37:27,230 And it was like one of the main one of the main 830 00:37:27,230 --> 00:37:30,570 Beyblade. Guys, right? One 831 00:37:30,570 --> 00:37:32,870 of the main characters, Beyblades. Yeah. 832 00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:35,990 But Black Dronzer was like the evil version that he 833 00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:38,590 like went rogue. And that like his whole team 834 00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,550 had to like gang up on him to to beat him. And 835 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:44,790 I was like, Black Dronzer is the best. I'm 836 00:37:44,790 --> 00:37:48,410 the whole team has to fight him to win. I 837 00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:50,670 mean, that's that's just fun as a kid to be able 838 00:37:50,670 --> 00:37:52,870 to have. Yeah, I get it. I 839 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:55,030 get that. Like we were saying, we didn't 840 00:37:55,030 --> 00:37:57,830 want to be a picked Charizard at first because 841 00:37:57,830 --> 00:37:59,750 we wanted to not be sheep. Wanted 842 00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:01,810 to be the don't be mainstream. We 843 00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:03,810 can't we can't come on. That's 844 00:38:03,810 --> 00:38:07,330 why there's an N64 podcast. Yes. 845 00:38:07,330 --> 00:38:09,950 Oh. And surprisingly, this game has 846 00:38:09,950 --> 00:38:13,750 really good reviews. Yeah, I just looked it up. It's 847 00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:17,430 like really, really kind of overwhelmingly positive. So 848 00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:19,870 you're pretty surprised by that. I 849 00:38:19,870 --> 00:38:22,830 well, I'm surprised that. I'm 850 00:38:22,830 --> 00:38:24,650 not surprised that it got good reviews because it's 851 00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:27,210 not a bad game. Right. I'm surprised that 852 00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:29,450 everyone's like, oh, it's the best bubble game ever. 853 00:38:29,590 --> 00:38:30,970 Oh, here we go. Here 854 00:38:30,970 --> 00:38:33,250 we go. Sorry, what was that? A 855 00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:36,570 six out of 10 by Yo Jimbo 2015. Oh, 856 00:38:36,610 --> 00:38:38,230 Jimbo. Thanks, Yo Jimbo. Rather 857 00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:40,950 cynical attempt to repackage a bog standard block 858 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:44,450 matching game with Pokemon characters. OK, 859 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:47,050 it has a perfectly decent. It's 860 00:38:47,050 --> 00:38:49,810 a perfectly decent one, but has little to do with 861 00:38:49,810 --> 00:38:52,850 Pokemon, which is exactly what I said. Yeah, 862 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:54,030 it's kind of what we're saying. Yeah, 863 00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:57,730 I would I would give it a seven, probably. OK, 864 00:38:58,030 --> 00:39:01,690 like I'm on my skill. I feel like it's solid. It's 865 00:39:01,690 --> 00:39:03,010 a good it's a good game. It's 866 00:39:03,010 --> 00:39:05,090 not bad at all. It's just. Yeah, 867 00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:07,070 it's basic. Yeah, it just doesn't need to be 868 00:39:07,070 --> 00:39:09,370 Pokemon. Like the Pokemon aspect of it 869 00:39:09,370 --> 00:39:12,710 is is just an ad. It doesn't hurt it. No, 870 00:39:12,870 --> 00:39:14,570 that's no, that's that's true. That's 871 00:39:14,570 --> 00:39:16,750 true, because that's not like we say we said that 872 00:39:16,750 --> 00:39:17,890 it was like shoehorned in. But 873 00:39:17,890 --> 00:39:20,610 shoehorned sometimes is more negative. It's 874 00:39:20,610 --> 00:39:25,770 more just like the skin that that is doesn't make 875 00:39:25,770 --> 00:39:28,330 the game worse. It's not like they tried to add 876 00:39:28,330 --> 00:39:30,630 stuff in that made the game feel like, well, this 877 00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:31,910 isn't a puzzle game anymore. This 878 00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:34,770 doesn't make sense. I'll tell you exactly how I 879 00:39:34,770 --> 00:39:37,570 feel about this. Please. OK, the skin, the skin 880 00:39:37,570 --> 00:39:38,970 thing, the skin comment. OK, 881 00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:42,830 it is an echo character in Super Smash Bros. It 882 00:39:42,830 --> 00:39:45,690 is like Daisy to Peach, whereas Peach would be the 883 00:39:45,690 --> 00:39:47,930 original puzzle game. And then if people like Daisy, 884 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:49,690 they're going to like this more. But 885 00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:53,090 it's fundamentally the same, maybe slightly different, 886 00:39:53,770 --> 00:39:56,570 like stats or something affects it slightly 887 00:39:56,570 --> 00:39:59,430 different, but it's very, very similar. OK. 888 00:39:59,790 --> 00:40:01,910 Yep, I can see that. Yeah, that makes sense. That 889 00:40:01,910 --> 00:40:03,990 makes sense. That the one thing I mentioned 890 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:06,850 this earlier and I wanted to make sure my biggest 891 00:40:06,850 --> 00:40:09,310 disappointment with this game isn't the fact. Well, 892 00:40:09,350 --> 00:40:11,390 actually, it probably is actually that the the 893 00:40:11,390 --> 00:40:14,370 Pokemon aspect of it and the sort of balancing your 894 00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:16,370 your different types and stuff isn't quite there. 895 00:40:16,370 --> 00:40:18,310 The other thing that I don't 896 00:40:18,310 --> 00:40:21,330 quite understand this this idea or why they went this 897 00:40:21,330 --> 00:40:26,450 way is that you can play this game in a 3D version 898 00:40:26,450 --> 00:40:28,370 and you can play it in like a cylinder, 899 00:40:28,370 --> 00:40:31,070 essentially. So it's not just flat on the 900 00:40:31,070 --> 00:40:33,750 screen and 2D as you move from left to right. The 901 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:35,830 screen kind of rotates left to right. I 902 00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:37,250 have a video of it, so I'm going to I'm going to 903 00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:39,630 find it and pull it up while we're while I'm 904 00:40:39,630 --> 00:40:43,790 talking about this. But what happens is is that 905 00:40:43,790 --> 00:40:47,270 just makes things more like in depth, like there's just 906 00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:52,390 more going on. And it's just it's just. Oh, 907 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:54,710 yeah, it's just way more fun this way. And 908 00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:58,490 I don't know why they buried this behind a higher 909 00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:03,010 difficulty and behind a mode that isn't part of 910 00:41:03,010 --> 00:41:05,890 the basic mode. So the only reason why I got 911 00:41:05,890 --> 00:41:09,750 to play this was because the cheat codes can be 912 00:41:09,750 --> 00:41:11,930 entered at any time and you can access different 913 00:41:11,930 --> 00:41:14,630 difficulties and different levels. And 914 00:41:14,638 --> 00:41:17,870 at a certain point, I think it's in the spa 915 00:41:17,870 --> 00:41:21,310 service one or in the time trial one, you just open 916 00:41:21,310 --> 00:41:23,290 that mode, you type it, you put it, you hold on 917 00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:27,090 to the Z or the Z button and you do like L R A or 918 00:41:27,090 --> 00:41:28,530 something. You can do it on Switch 919 00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:30,330 Online, too. It's available on both, which is 920 00:41:30,330 --> 00:41:32,790 kind of nice. You can do the codes and then 921 00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:34,390 you're able to access these stages. But 922 00:41:34,390 --> 00:41:36,790 you have if you didn't have the code, you have to 923 00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:40,090 play for a long time to reach these stages. And 924 00:41:40,090 --> 00:41:42,010 it's unfortunate that they bury it behind that because 925 00:41:42,010 --> 00:41:45,670 I think this is it's more difficult for sure. But 926 00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:48,850 it is way better. It's way better. And 927 00:41:48,850 --> 00:41:50,810 little jigglypuffs over there in the corner like 928 00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:52,530 getting angry. It's awesome. I 929 00:41:52,530 --> 00:41:55,430 don't know why. Trying to like shove the 930 00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:59,550 microphone. Let's go. We 931 00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:02,090 go. Yeah, actually, I'm going to turn 932 00:42:02,090 --> 00:42:03,850 the sound on for this this mode, too. It's 933 00:42:03,850 --> 00:42:06,030 kind of the same, but let's see if it works 934 00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:08,290 here. Did it work? No, 935 00:42:08,330 --> 00:42:11,870 it didn't work. But you know, it didn't work. 936 00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:13,510 There we go. Don't 937 00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:15,130 mute it. There we go. 938 00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:30,190 That's OK. It's 939 00:42:30,190 --> 00:42:31,350 OK. You didn't hear it, but I 940 00:42:31,350 --> 00:42:33,570 heard it and it was me failing. So, 941 00:42:33,630 --> 00:42:36,570 yeah, so. I think this should have been 942 00:42:36,570 --> 00:42:38,870 the main draw of the game. I 943 00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:41,110 think I think this would have been so much better 944 00:42:41,110 --> 00:42:43,090 because it differentiates itself. It 945 00:42:43,090 --> 00:42:45,690 maybe you don't have the different types of Pokemon. 946 00:42:46,070 --> 00:42:47,030 Maybe that's not something they 947 00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:49,630 end up going with. But at least this made it feel 948 00:42:49,630 --> 00:42:52,030 different than other ones in the genre or other ones 949 00:42:52,030 --> 00:42:54,570 with a similar style. So they should have had the 950 00:42:54,570 --> 00:42:57,030 little Pokemon like battling at the top or something. 951 00:42:57,310 --> 00:42:59,090 And like whenever you get like 952 00:42:59,090 --> 00:43:01,390 a chain of blocks or something, it would attack. 953 00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:02,770 And then the other Pokemon be 954 00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:04,770 like, ah. Yeah, instead of just like the 955 00:43:04,770 --> 00:43:07,170 color falling because all it is is color coordinated. 956 00:43:07,330 --> 00:43:08,630 Yeah, blocks that fall. So 957 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:11,170 they try to do it like via types, which just 958 00:43:11,170 --> 00:43:13,570 further confuses and makes you think that the type 959 00:43:13,570 --> 00:43:16,990 thing is a thing. Yeah, exactly. 100 percent. It 960 00:43:16,990 --> 00:43:19,330 doesn't matter. It doesn't do anything. Kids, 961 00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:22,650 don't waste your time. But you know what? Don't 962 00:43:22,650 --> 00:43:24,290 waste your time. But you're right. Playing 963 00:43:24,290 --> 00:43:25,850 the game is still pretty good. I 964 00:43:25,850 --> 00:43:29,370 enjoy it. I wish this 3D thing was was 965 00:43:29,370 --> 00:43:32,010 more accessible and was more clear. You 966 00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:35,430 can get it easier. You can play it in the 967 00:43:35,430 --> 00:43:37,190 multiplayer one as well. So we play against somebody. 968 00:43:37,590 --> 00:43:39,390 It's available, but, you know, 969 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:42,610 we were just playing at single player. I 970 00:43:42,610 --> 00:43:44,230 think that's also a missed opportunity. There's 971 00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:46,790 a lot here, though, if you play the different modes, 972 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:49,710 you know, there's there's the puzzle one, the 973 00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:51,710 university thing that I that I mentioned. There's 974 00:43:51,710 --> 00:43:53,850 also one that's like an endless mode. There's 975 00:43:53,850 --> 00:43:55,730 another one where the team rocket is involved and you 976 00:43:55,730 --> 00:43:58,930 have to like go through like a hundred stages or 977 00:43:58,930 --> 00:44:00,650 something crazy like that. So 978 00:44:00,650 --> 00:44:03,990 there's a lot to play, but it still is the same thing 979 00:44:04,609 --> 00:44:07,330 over and over and over again with a little bit 980 00:44:07,330 --> 00:44:09,870 more difficulty. So it really depends on if 981 00:44:09,870 --> 00:44:14,010 that's what you're looking for, I think. Yeah, 982 00:44:14,130 --> 00:44:16,690 I just wish they had a separate mode that was just 983 00:44:16,690 --> 00:44:18,750 the 3D one and you didn't have to go searching for 984 00:44:18,750 --> 00:44:20,270 it or enter codes. I think that would actually 985 00:44:20,270 --> 00:44:22,110 go a long way in making this a little bit more 986 00:44:23,310 --> 00:44:24,710 robust or making it a little bit more 987 00:44:24,710 --> 00:44:27,130 entertaining. But I like that it spins. It 988 00:44:27,138 --> 00:44:28,590 gives you a sense of urgency. Like 989 00:44:28,590 --> 00:44:30,410 you got to look at everything. Yeah, 990 00:44:30,410 --> 00:44:33,190 and you can kind of see your your rows that are 991 00:44:33,190 --> 00:44:35,630 that are around the cylinder behind you as 992 00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:37,630 well. So as it's moving up, you can 993 00:44:37,630 --> 00:44:39,710 kind of be like, oh, shit, the one that's, you know, 994 00:44:40,430 --> 00:44:43,850 five rows over or five columns over, I need to 995 00:44:43,850 --> 00:44:45,470 get over to that one before I fix this one. 996 00:44:46,610 --> 00:44:48,630 Yeah. And then, you know, you 997 00:44:48,630 --> 00:44:51,010 have combos, it chains and all these things that you 998 00:44:51,010 --> 00:44:54,950 see in other games. But I see it. It's 999 00:44:54,950 --> 00:44:57,310 a good time. It's just not a home run. I 1000 00:44:57,310 --> 00:44:59,770 think that's that's kind of where I sit with it. Yeah. 1001 00:44:59,890 --> 00:45:04,150 So, yeah. It doesn't if you haven't 1002 00:45:04,150 --> 00:45:06,950 played it before and you have Switch Online or you 1003 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:09,990 have an opportunity to get this for 64 or even 1004 00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:12,590 emulate it, if that's something that you you're 1005 00:45:12,590 --> 00:45:15,110 you're doing, you're not going to hate the time 1006 00:45:15,110 --> 00:45:16,610 with it, but I don't think you're going to experience 1007 00:45:16,610 --> 00:45:18,710 anything that you haven't experienced before, 1008 00:45:18,830 --> 00:45:22,410 unfortunately, unless you play the 3D version of it. 1009 00:45:22,430 --> 00:45:23,370 I think that's actually really 1010 00:45:23,370 --> 00:45:25,570 fun. And I would recommend if you 1011 00:45:25,570 --> 00:45:27,370 do have the Switch Online one, you want to try the 1012 00:45:27,370 --> 00:45:29,750 3D thing, look up the codes are really easy to 1013 00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:33,330 find and try that out and just I think that's that's 1014 00:45:33,330 --> 00:45:34,530 a better time. It's more fun. So, 1015 00:45:35,050 --> 00:45:38,049 yeah, Pokemon Puzzle League. It's 1016 00:45:38,049 --> 00:45:40,170 it's OK. It's OK. That's 1017 00:45:40,170 --> 00:45:41,270 OK. That's kind of it. Yeah, 1018 00:45:41,370 --> 00:45:46,050 it ain't no Elmo's number journey, but you know. But 1019 00:45:46,050 --> 00:45:48,310 hey, not everything can be, you know, not everyone. Not 1020 00:45:48,317 --> 00:45:50,410 everything can be. Not everyone can. Everything 1021 00:45:50,410 --> 00:45:52,710 was almost number journey. We 1022 00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:57,510 have only good games. We if everything could be as 1023 00:45:57,510 --> 00:45:59,770 good of a journey as Elmo has when he's snowboarding 1024 00:45:59,770 --> 00:46:03,310 and collecting their world would be so much better 1025 00:46:03,310 --> 00:46:04,570 off. There'd be peace in the Middle 1026 00:46:04,570 --> 00:46:09,190 East. There'd be just OK. I'm 1027 00:46:09,190 --> 00:46:11,530 going to stop right there. You're 1028 00:46:11,530 --> 00:46:12,990 right. I mean, I don't think you're 1029 00:46:12,990 --> 00:46:14,870 wrong. I don't think I don't think 1030 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:18,710 you're you're off on this. You 1031 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:20,770 know, taxes would be lower. House 1032 00:46:20,770 --> 00:46:22,830 prices would be manageable. That 1033 00:46:22,830 --> 00:46:25,790 would be free. And we'd be slowly transitioning 1034 00:46:25,790 --> 00:46:29,050 to electric. Right. That's it. At 1035 00:46:29,058 --> 00:46:32,930 that we would at no cost at zero cost, like zero 1036 00:46:32,930 --> 00:46:34,910 costs. It would just be everyone 1037 00:46:34,910 --> 00:46:36,890 would break even. It would be you'd be fine. 1038 00:46:37,210 --> 00:46:38,770 And the economy would survive. 1039 00:46:39,230 --> 00:46:40,910 Yeah. You'd walk into restaurants 1040 00:46:40,910 --> 00:46:43,670 and they'd be like, hey, here's your food for free. 1041 00:46:44,610 --> 00:46:45,810 You know, have a great day. 1042 00:46:46,330 --> 00:46:48,210 Have a great day. Thanks 1043 00:46:48,210 --> 00:46:54,250 for stopping in. You're welcome, kind sir. That's 1044 00:46:54,250 --> 00:46:56,870 not my. Now my. You're 1045 00:46:56,870 --> 00:47:05,250 done. That's our professor, Oakwood. Oh, 1046 00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:07,570 my God. But also he would have no time 1047 00:47:07,570 --> 00:47:10,070 to explain being selected for this event is such an 1048 00:47:10,070 --> 00:47:12,350 honor, while there's no time to explain everything. 1049 00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:15,750 Oh, I will say I'm going to 1050 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:19,370 play that again. And the music in this game is 1051 00:47:19,370 --> 00:47:22,230 actually pretty good. Being selected for this event is 1052 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:24,510 such an honor, while there's no time to explain 1053 00:47:24,510 --> 00:47:27,490 everything. Yeah, it is. It's 1054 00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:28,790 decent. There's there's some there's some 1055 00:47:28,790 --> 00:47:31,690 jazz bass going on, some like cool music. Even 1056 00:47:31,690 --> 00:47:33,810 the rendition of the theme at the beginning and like 1057 00:47:33,810 --> 00:47:35,270 the menu music was really good. It 1058 00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:36,730 is good. I wish it lasted longer, but 1059 00:47:36,730 --> 00:47:39,410 it is good. Yeah. So that's that's a positive 1060 00:47:39,410 --> 00:47:40,530 for two. I think they did a good job 1061 00:47:40,530 --> 00:47:42,010 with that. Part of it is like you said, 1062 00:47:42,070 --> 00:47:45,630 they're trying to bring in the the anime crowd and 1063 00:47:45,630 --> 00:47:47,390 stuff like that, too. And I think they did a good 1064 00:47:47,390 --> 00:47:48,930 job of making that happen. So 1065 00:47:48,930 --> 00:47:52,110 and that opening scene, like you said, is fully 1066 00:47:52,110 --> 00:47:54,170 animated, just like the show is. It 1067 00:47:54,170 --> 00:47:57,090 looks it's brief, but it looks really good. Doesn't 1068 00:47:57,090 --> 00:47:59,250 feel choppy. Doesn't feel really pixelated or 1069 00:47:59,250 --> 00:48:01,610 nothing. So there's positive here. 1070 00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:03,050 That's right. Meow. 1071 00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:06,610 Yeah, it's just it's yeah. There's 1072 00:48:06,610 --> 00:48:08,310 that. There's lots of voiceover, which is 1073 00:48:08,310 --> 00:48:14,610 a mixed bag, I think. Oh, but the. No, 1074 00:48:14,610 --> 00:48:19,190 the cheesy awful voice acting is what I like 1075 00:48:19,190 --> 00:48:20,430 about. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 1076 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:21,890 Yeah. Yeah, straight straight from the 1077 00:48:21,890 --> 00:48:23,050 show. Right. So. Oh, 1078 00:48:23,058 --> 00:48:24,690 yeah, it's it's awesome. Yeah. 1079 00:48:25,570 --> 00:48:28,710 I'm going to turn my trusty frying pan into a 1080 00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:32,570 drying pan. Like you don't find dialogue 1081 00:48:32,570 --> 00:48:34,850 like that, you know, that doesn't exist in other 1082 00:48:34,850 --> 00:48:36,510 places. I mean, it does, but just 1083 00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:38,790 not so special. White like that. So 1084 00:48:38,798 --> 00:48:40,470 special about it. Yeah. Yeah. For 1085 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:41,810 sure. I love it. All 1086 00:48:41,810 --> 00:48:43,130 right. Pokemon Puzzle League. Give 1087 00:48:43,130 --> 00:48:46,050 it a shot. You know, if it's your thing, 1088 00:48:46,190 --> 00:48:47,690 if it sounds like your thing, I think you're going 1089 00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:49,390 to you're going to find something here. It 1090 00:48:49,390 --> 00:48:51,410 just might not be a home run and that's OK. It 1091 00:48:51,410 --> 00:48:53,710 happens, right? So Jiggy, you were saying 1092 00:48:53,710 --> 00:48:55,030 that's probably like a seven. I 1093 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:56,230 would say it's something like that for me, too. 1094 00:48:56,450 --> 00:48:58,310 Maybe maybe a little bit lower 1095 00:48:58,310 --> 00:48:59,930 just because I'm disappointed with some of 1096 00:48:59,930 --> 00:49:01,910 the choices that they made, but it doesn't mean that 1097 00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:03,330 the game doesn't play well. So 1098 00:49:03,330 --> 00:49:07,830 it's just more of like I'm puzzled by the choices that 1099 00:49:07,830 --> 00:49:10,030 they made in some ways. So I'm a little bit 1100 00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:12,750 disappointed, but it's not not a terrible game. So 1101 00:49:12,750 --> 00:49:14,150 check it out if you want. It's 1102 00:49:14,150 --> 00:49:15,930 out there on Nintendo Switch online. It's 1103 00:49:15,930 --> 00:49:18,810 a unfortunately, as far as I can tell, kind of 1104 00:49:18,810 --> 00:49:20,390 expensive to buy the cartridge. I 1105 00:49:20,390 --> 00:49:21,750 don't know if that's because it's late in the 1106 00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,870 cycle of the console. And it just probably wasn't a 1107 00:49:24,870 --> 00:49:28,250 ton out there. I got a copy of it ages ago 1108 00:49:28,250 --> 00:49:31,750 for a pretty good price. I just grabbed it. So 1109 00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:33,830 for now, I have it, whether it's something I 1110 00:49:33,830 --> 00:49:35,110 hang on to or not. I don't know. But 1111 00:49:35,110 --> 00:49:37,690 I'm not I'm not upset about it. Those 1112 00:49:37,690 --> 00:49:40,890 games that released like post 2010 to be a little 1113 00:49:40,890 --> 00:49:42,710 more expensive, I've noticed. Yeah, 1114 00:49:42,750 --> 00:49:44,470 because it's just far less on them. So 1115 00:49:44,477 --> 00:49:46,830 that's their focus was elsewhere, right? 1116 00:49:47,090 --> 00:49:48,930 Understandably. So so. So 1117 00:49:48,930 --> 00:49:53,130 Dave was by this game. I was struggling. I 1118 00:49:53,130 --> 00:49:54,210 thought it was kind of hard. It 1119 00:49:54,210 --> 00:49:56,210 was a little out of my league, you might say. 1120 00:49:56,790 --> 00:50:00,470 Might say you might say. But 1121 00:50:00,470 --> 00:50:03,610 it was OK, man. Oh, I will say, as far as the 1122 00:50:03,610 --> 00:50:05,370 difficulty goes, really briefly before we get out 1123 00:50:05,370 --> 00:50:08,610 of here. I thought the easy mode, 1124 00:50:08,650 --> 00:50:11,270 which is a good place to start still, like don't go 1125 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:13,530 straight into normal. I recommend try the easy one 1126 00:50:13,530 --> 00:50:16,090 and do just the one player thing where you just go 1127 00:50:16,090 --> 00:50:18,790 through all the all the badges that I had no 1128 00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:21,710 problem defeating and beating like I did a whole 1129 00:50:21,710 --> 00:50:24,750 run with it without failing once. But 1130 00:50:24,750 --> 00:50:28,050 when I got to normal, it definitely gives you a 1131 00:50:28,050 --> 00:50:30,170 test. Like things move faster. They're 1132 00:50:30,170 --> 00:50:33,410 making matches better to combat you and stuff. So 1133 00:50:33,410 --> 00:50:35,610 and if you get to the higher sort of matches in 1134 00:50:35,610 --> 00:50:38,530 the other modes, you notice a difference. But 1135 00:50:38,530 --> 00:50:41,070 I would say get your feet wet with the with the easy 1136 00:50:41,070 --> 00:50:43,470 mode and single player if you're playing it and then 1137 00:50:43,470 --> 00:50:44,630 just kind of go from there. Don't 1138 00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:48,090 don't be here. Because yeah, it's not easy. It's 1139 00:50:48,090 --> 00:50:49,730 definitely not an easy game. And 1140 00:50:49,730 --> 00:50:51,930 I think I think for me, like the learning curve 1141 00:50:51,930 --> 00:50:56,470 came from. I wanted to match as many as 1142 00:50:56,470 --> 00:51:01,890 I could, as opposed to getting high match. You 1143 00:51:01,890 --> 00:51:04,630 know what I'm trying to say is I would see three 1144 00:51:04,630 --> 00:51:06,770 and I would line up those three so I got a match. 1145 00:51:06,770 --> 00:51:08,470 But really what you want to do 1146 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:10,850 is you want to wait until you have like six, you 1147 00:51:10,850 --> 00:51:13,070 know, or five, like he just got. Yeah. 1148 00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:18,130 You really like it in other games, I feel like 1149 00:51:18,130 --> 00:51:21,370 you could do that. And it's just about kind of 1150 00:51:21,370 --> 00:51:23,930 bringing things down and chipping away at everything. 1151 00:51:24,010 --> 00:51:25,330 Whereas this game, it's more like 1152 00:51:25,330 --> 00:51:27,970 you want to get those high matches so you can really 1153 00:51:27,970 --> 00:51:29,770 like screw over your opponent. Otherwise, 1154 00:51:30,090 --> 00:51:32,550 you know, I mean, being machine was a little bit 1155 00:51:32,550 --> 00:51:35,290 of that, but I don't feel like it was as as 1156 00:51:35,290 --> 00:51:38,970 necessary. Well, it was necessary like you 1157 00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:44,430 had to do it, but it wasn't as. I 1158 00:51:44,430 --> 00:51:48,350 don't know what the right word is, like not as I 1159 00:51:48,350 --> 00:51:50,690 guess necessary. I guess like I guess 1160 00:51:50,690 --> 00:51:53,350 necessary is the word because it's it feels like 1161 00:51:53,350 --> 00:51:56,390 if you didn't do it, you were going to lose and 1162 00:51:56,390 --> 00:51:57,970 they start loading you up. Yes, 1163 00:51:58,070 --> 00:51:59,810 100 percent. That's what it feels like. Yeah. 1164 00:52:00,130 --> 00:52:01,530 Yeah. And that's when you're playing 1165 00:52:01,530 --> 00:52:04,870 against someone when you're doing the sort of solo, 1166 00:52:05,070 --> 00:52:07,890 just try to like. Yes, clear a certain amount. It 1167 00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:09,750 definitely helps you because you're clearing more at 1168 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:12,950 once, but it's not going to make or break it, I 1169 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:14,630 don't think. But yeah, when you get into 1170 00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:16,850 the higher difficulties and when you're playing against 1171 00:52:16,850 --> 00:52:19,090 someone, whether it's the CPU or whether it's an 1172 00:52:19,090 --> 00:52:22,390 actual person, you got to like line up combos or 1173 00:52:22,390 --> 00:52:26,610 larger numbers. Otherwise, stuff does not drop on the 1174 00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:30,550 opponent's screen. And then now not only are you 1175 00:52:30,550 --> 00:52:33,230 not clearing stuff faster, they're not being punished 1176 00:52:33,230 --> 00:52:35,910 for your good place. So there's a difference there. 1177 00:52:36,250 --> 00:52:38,090 Yeah. And it's also it's also 1178 00:52:38,090 --> 00:52:40,110 throw it throws me off a little bit because it 1179 00:52:40,110 --> 00:52:42,810 doesn't play like the puzzle piece comes from the 1180 00:52:42,810 --> 00:52:45,530 top, like Tetris style or maybe in machine style or 1181 00:52:45,530 --> 00:52:47,230 Dr. Mario style. Everything 1182 00:52:47,230 --> 00:52:48,850 just kind of shows up. Yeah, 1183 00:52:48,970 --> 00:52:50,030 it comes from the bottom. And 1184 00:52:50,038 --> 00:52:55,029 it's like you have no you have no. Like 1185 00:52:55,029 --> 00:52:58,810 pre vision of what you're about to match, like you 1186 00:52:58,810 --> 00:53:01,490 barely see anything. Yeah, I just see like a tiny 1187 00:53:01,490 --> 00:53:03,590 bit. But as I'm watching you play 1188 00:53:03,590 --> 00:53:05,590 this and I can like focus and look at the pieces, 1189 00:53:05,690 --> 00:53:07,650 I'm just seeing why I think this is more 1190 00:53:07,650 --> 00:53:11,770 difficult than other puzzle games because or like why 1191 00:53:11,770 --> 00:53:14,390 I personally was struggling because I'm so used to the 1192 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:17,070 way other puzzle games function. The 1193 00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:19,590 first one just functions slightly different. It's 1194 00:53:19,590 --> 00:53:22,650 like fundamentally it's similar, but it functions 1195 00:53:22,650 --> 00:53:24,750 just different enough. It throws me off. Yeah, 1196 00:53:24,770 --> 00:53:27,350 you got to get a wrap. It was a type thing. It's 1197 00:53:27,350 --> 00:53:29,490 why am I not getting right? You 1198 00:53:29,490 --> 00:53:31,930 got to wrap your head around the differences when 1199 00:53:31,930 --> 00:53:33,810 you when you almost like felt like you were going 1200 00:53:33,810 --> 00:53:36,130 into something different or felt like it functioned as 1201 00:53:36,130 --> 00:53:38,410 I totally get it. I'm like that with a bunch of 1202 00:53:38,410 --> 00:53:39,630 different types of games, too. So 1203 00:53:39,630 --> 00:53:41,950 it's kind of the same thing for me. I 1204 00:53:41,950 --> 00:53:44,990 was mostly OK, but I I definitely struggle with the 1205 00:53:44,990 --> 00:53:47,970 combo thing, especially at first and was like, oh, 1206 00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:49,530 OK, yeah, I really got to do this. Got 1207 00:53:49,530 --> 00:53:51,030 to do that. And it took me a bit. It 1208 00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:53,230 took me a bit. It wasn't wasn't a simple, 1209 00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:55,510 simple get. So yeah, anyways, give it a 1210 00:53:55,510 --> 00:53:56,910 shot. Pokemon Puzzle League worth your 1211 00:53:56,910 --> 00:53:58,310 time. Probably not going to blow you 1212 00:53:58,310 --> 00:53:59,470 away. Maybe it will. Didn't 1213 00:53:59,470 --> 00:54:02,190 for us, but it's still a fun time. But 1214 00:54:02,190 --> 00:54:05,050 until next time, Jiggy, where can everybody find 1215 00:54:05,050 --> 00:54:07,750 your awesome stuff on YouTube because it is 1216 00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:11,290 awesome?

I just looked back and 1219 00:54:17,730 --> 00:54:20,550 realized that my look back. I 1220 00:54:20,550 --> 00:54:23,470 realized all the lights on my shelf went off for some 1221 00:54:23,470 --> 00:54:26,130 reason. So I hope that doesn't mean 1222 00:54:26,130 --> 00:54:29,070 something. But yeah, but we're all good. 1223 00:54:29,250 --> 00:54:30,790 Yeah, Jiggy, look back on 1224 00:54:30,790 --> 00:54:32,510 YouTube. Go look me up. It's 1225 00:54:32,510 --> 00:54:34,350 fun.
