My name is David Petrangelo and 20 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,600 I am so, so glad that these two games we're talking about only 21 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,760 have the creatures that I recognize because my old man 22 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,800 brain can only hold so much useful information. 23 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,840 Yeah, that's right, I said useful, not useless. 24 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,440 All I know is that my go to Bulbasaur is the Gen. one 25 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,080 equivalent of whatever the Gen. two equivalent is that one 26 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,600 equivalent of that one Jiggy.

Yeah, we're talking Pokémon 63 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800 Stadium and the second one as well. 64 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,400 So Pokémon Stadium 1 and two, we figured we loot them both 65 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,600 together 'cause there's a lot of similarities and why not, right? 66 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Different games. But you know, we'll, we'll talk 67 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640 about it as we go along. Before we do get into it, 68 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,480 though, let's talk about the unlockables a bit. 69 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360 I mentioned the Kingdom Hearts extraordinaire. 70 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,800 Let's chat about that a little bit because I think as of the 71 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,920 day that we're recording, you just released the last or second 72 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,280 last episode in a very long string of awesome episodes about 73 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,240 that franchise. Let's what's what's going on 74 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,120 there, If anyone doesn't know. Yeah. 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000 So as of as of today, as of this recording, the, the episode on 76 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,440 the final game that we played in the series, which was a Kingdom 77 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,840 Hearts melody of memory came out. 78 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:42,040 And yeah, I, I started doing a Kingdom Hearts complete series 79 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,480 analysis and retrospective on my show. 80 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,800 And that is what my show has mostly become known for in this 81 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,480 kind of community of, of podcasters and content creators. 82 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,160 We have. And I started that mostly out of 83 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,720 the, you know, I kind of see the chatter on the Internet about 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,920 the series where is people like, first of all, Kingdom Hearts is 85 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,400 like my favorite game series of all time. 86 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840 It's a, it's a series that I, I absolutely love the death. 87 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:07,680 And you know, I am not so naive as to know that gets a little 88 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,320 crazy, gets a little weird sometimes. 89 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680 And I see a lot of that chatter on the Internet from people who 90 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360 are mostly on the outside looking in how crazy the Kingdom 91 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,440 Hearts series can get. So my catalyst for creating that 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,840 miniseries within my show was kind of to to go through all the 93 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,320 games, break them down, break the story down, breakdown the 94 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,800 themes and kind of analyze and talk about all that stuff and 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560 make kind of like a companion guide for anybody that was like 96 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800 curious to get into the series. Because as everybody knows, 97 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Kingdom Hearts, infamously, the story gets a little bit dense, a 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,680 little bit crazy. There's and all the games kind 99 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560 of tie into each other. So it's, it's really, if you 100 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,760 choose to undertake a playing of the Kingdom Hearts series, it's 101 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,240 very much something that you don't have to, but I recommend 102 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,560 playing all the games in the series and tying them all 103 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,920 together. So that was kind of the the 104 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,320 catalyst of, of that journey of that miniseries. 105 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,920 And yeah, as of today, I, I wrapped that up. 106 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,360 It took me two years and and nine months to go through all 107 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,280 the games and write all the scripts and record all the 108 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,040 episodes. And that was over 47 hours of 109 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,720 content across 29 episodes. So yeah, very. 110 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Impressed. Yeah, it feels like. 111 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,400 It feels like it's very, very thorough. 112 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,520 It is my most complete attempt to just analyze and describe and 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960 share the thing that I love most with, with everybody who who 114 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,240 chooses to come and engage with it. 115 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,800 So that is yes. Now I need to stop you and I've 116 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,560 got to say, describe the plot to Kingdom Hearts in 20 seconds. 117 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,960 In 20. I even know that's crazy and 118 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,440 I've only played like the first. Two games literally impossible 119 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000 because there's there's plots on top of plots. 120 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,160 So it depends on like which one you want If I was. 121 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,480 To to say like a synopsis. Elevator pitch, that's what. 122 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,200 It's called Yeah Boy from island gets mystical key sword and 123 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,600 fights darkness and the elderly. That's pretty elderly. 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,200 Yeah, those are two separate things. 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,880 Interesting. Yeah, sometimes there. 126 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Sometimes separately. OK. 127 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,720 Disney. Disney's there. 128 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,240 Yeah, yeah, Mickey's there. He's kind of like a Jedi master. 129 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600 Goofy's there, Donald's there. Yeah, kids, Final Fantasy 130 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160 characters are there, so. And if you added like another 10 131 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,560 seconds, could you explain the nobody heartless situation to 132 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,240 me? Because I played through one and 133 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,920 two and I still don't really understand. 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Yes. So the heartless is the darkness 135 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,200 in person's heart made manifest then Nobody is the empty shell 136 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,680 of the body that is left behind when a person turns into a 137 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,080 heartless. So yeah, just because you become 138 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,280 heartless does not mean that you die. 139 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840 Your body can be left behind and you act like an empty, 140 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280 emotionless husk. And there's some really deep 141 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,040 themes around like depression and like accepting yourself and 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040 all that kinds of fun stuff that gets brought into that sort of 143 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,520 madness. But yeah, there's Don't Give me 144 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,480 If you want to make this a Kingdom Hearts episode, we could 145 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200 be here for four hours. So just be careful where you're 146 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,720 taking this. Tread Tread lately Jiggy tread 147 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,040 lately not. It's. 148 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880 Just yeah, yeah, I mean that is it is very impressive, man, like 149 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,280 honestly and and it's great that all of that is is part of a 150 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,080 franchise and game series of games that you love so much. 151 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,080 Now before this my my question, my sort of semi follow up 152 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,640 question is like had you played all these before you did this or 153 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160 were there a couple like blank spots that you filled in sort of 154 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400 as you went? Yeah, I'd played all of them 155 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,840 with the exception of I didn't finish the the mobile games, 156 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,880 which had a more of like gotcha element to it because those 157 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,440 spanned like several years of existence. 158 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,159 So those were the only real blank spots that I kind of had 159 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,559 to go back and and fill in. But other than that, every 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,800 mainline game that's been out, I own all of them on original 161 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,800 hardware. I own all the collections 162 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,920 multiple times over physical on Steam. 163 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560 So yeah, it's a bit. I've given Square Enix enough of 164 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,720 my money. Because of you're keeping them 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,880 afloat because some of their games apparently don't do well 166 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,720 enough. Which is just like what? 167 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,680 Crazy. Yeah. 168 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,160 Anyways, they say that you should support the series that 169 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,920 you love. And I've, I've certainly 170 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920 supported this one because I want more of them. 171 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,560 So there you. Go King of Hearts 4. 172 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,240 It's coming. Hopefully. 173 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,240 Sometime. Here it looks dramatically 174 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,320 different. I don't know how I feel about it 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600 but. Sorry, we're at we're out of big 176 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,120 shoe territory. So that's great. 177 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,640 We're in regular shoe territory. I don't know what that. 178 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,840 Means regular shoe territory. Probably symbolic. 179 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,960 It's. A sign of something. 180 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,720 It's a sign of something. Whatever it is, it's a sign of 181 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,240 something. Yeah. 182 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,160 OK, so that's awesome. Check out the unlockables. 183 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,960 If you're a Kingdom Hearts fan or anywhere close to being a 184 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,520 Kingdom Hearts fan, check it out. 185 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,040 That's the place to go for sure.

He passed the test. 188 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,960 He gave a great synopsis of it. He can't confirm, so there. 189 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:51,880 You go. More details. 190 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,880 To come. More details. 191 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,720 It's a great companion piece. If you're like I said, if 192 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,440 you're, if you're playing the series through yourself, it's a 193 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,720 great companion piece. Just so like you play the first 194 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,640 game, listen to it afterwards like it's at least I think so. 195 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 I'm patting myself on the back obviously, but I, I, I'm very, 196 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,440 I'm very proud of it. Yeah, no, you, you damn well 197 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,440 should. Absolutely. 198 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,520 You put some hard work into it. You'd pat yourself on the back 199 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,000 as much as you want. OK, so let's, yeah, let's talk. 200 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Let's talk Pokémon Stadium. Let's talk about I either one of 201 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,320 these. Erica let you catch your breath 202 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,040 for two seconds. Jiggy, what is your what is your 203 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,200 experience with Pokémon Stadium? Either one of these going in 204 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,360 before the last, you know, couple weeks when we said we 205 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:37,120 were going to play this. 100% no experience playing Pokémon 206 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,520 Stadium. No no no no no no no. 207 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,480 Let me finish. No experience playing Pokémon 208 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,800 Stadium by myself. I only played Pokémon Stadium 1. 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 That's still interesting though. That's still interesting to me. 210 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,560 At a friend's house and we my cat is. 211 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,960 Licking, licking wires right now. 212 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,160 We both noticed at the same time somehow. 213 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,080 Sorry, that's great potentially dangerous situation. 214 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,120 So I just ended up. Being a a Christmas vacation 215 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,760 thing where the cat just. Yeah, I'm like. 216 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,440 Please, no, please no, that's not no casualties. 217 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,440 Here. Oh, I did this at a particular 218 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120 friend's house and we would just do multiplayer and just battle 219 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640 and pick, pick our book. And we did a thing where we'd 220 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840 have to, we, we each picked our team, but we'd have to like 221 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,960 cover our eyes when the other person was selecting so that we 222 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,960 couldn't like, you know, just do cheap type advantages and stuff. 223 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,360 And no legendaries. That was a rule. 224 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,960 No legendaries because why that? Makes sense. 225 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,680 That makes sense. So, so sorry. 226 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,040 They so you only OK, so you only did that. 227 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Did you guys ever do the the transfer pack stuff at all or 228 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,520 was it all just the rental or whatever? 229 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,120 Didn't do the transfer pack stuff though. 230 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,200 I had one, just never did it. Yeah, we just, we just. 231 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,840 I mean, you kind of both need one too, right? 232 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440 Otherwise it's not really fair or quite the same. 233 00:11:58,560 --> 00:11:59,720 Yeah. I think it's kind of what it. 234 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280 Is Dave, like we've talked about in the past, I had an entire 235 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,840 team of Pigeots, yes. What am I going to do with that? 236 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,000 Fly, baby, fly. Great team. 237 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,560 That's a great team. Yeah, you're just never touching 238 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,200 the ground. That's actually pretty sweet. 239 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,920 I, I have, I have, I don't know, I think I, I have a decent 240 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,560 amount of experience with this, with this franchise, mostly the 241 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,840 first one, I think, because that's just what I was playing 242 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,760 at the time and I grew up playing the first Gen. of 243 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,120 Pokémon and that's pretty much it. 244 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080 I, I've said this before in the other Pokémon episodes we 245 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,880 played, even talking about Puzzle League when we played at 246 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,400 Jiggy last year, you know, it was like, oh, I've never played 247 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,680 this game before, but I recognize some of the Pokémon 248 00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,000 and this is an interesting way of doing it. 249 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,800 And, and to me, this was kind of the same thing. 250 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,440 It was like, oh, I get to do battles and I get to try out my 251 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000 stuff. But pretty much like I had one 252 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,200 friend, I think, who had the first one and then I would rent 253 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,640 the first one every once in a while. 254 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,720 There was only one Game Boy 1 transfer pack, one game, one 255 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Pokémon game in our house. So it was like even to sit down 256 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,400 and play with my brother was sort of like, oh, it was only 257 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,200 the rentals. It was only the, you know, going 258 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200 that way. And I just, we'll talk about 259 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,000 this as we go, but it's just like without those, you know, 260 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,760 actual Pokémon, I feel like my the draw single player is just 261 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,280 not there. There's something about that 262 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,120 that just doesn't quite work for me. 263 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,560 And I think that's my biggest sort of revisiting take away of 264 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,920 this. I played this this time mostly 265 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,760 on my Steam Deck because I kind of had to play it. 266 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,480 And so I emulated it and had to sort of play it sort of on the 267 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960 couch or in my kids room or, you know, things that on the go sort 268 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240 of speak. So I didn't do any of the 269 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,720 transfer stuff this time even though I tried to because what I 270 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,480 tried to do is play Pokémon Blue before I booted this game up and 271 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,880 I got 3 gyms in. I was dedicated guys. 272 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,160 I wanted to get as many as I got. 273 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,520 I got 3 gems into the game. I restarted, I picked my 274 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,160 Vulvasaur. I got in there and I was like, 275 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,200 yeah, this is great. I still it still works. 276 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,880 I have my original cartridge in my GBA that I played it in. 277 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,640 It has like me and my brother are sort of, I don't know, it's 278 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240 hard to see, but I feel like I've shown this before, but it 279 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240 says AP on there, which is my brother's initials in pen. 280 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,480 And he rubbed off the fact that I put DP on there and then wrote 281 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,520 over it. And we sort of thought on whose 282 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,600 cartridge we thought about whose cartridge this was, but who's 283 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,880 laughing now? I have it so and it still works. 284 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,320 The battery is still alive on it somehow so. 285 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,480 End of the year that. What's that? 286 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Yeah, yeah. Give it another year or two. 287 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,720 Yeah, you run that borrowed time. 288 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,360 I know I shouldn't have said it. I jinxed it. 289 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,880 I'm going to turn it on now. It's not going to work. 290 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,280 All right, Eric, what about you? Let's let's actually before we 291 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,840 even do this because we haven't had you on the show yet, What's 292 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160 your Nintendo 64 experience? How about that? 293 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,560 What was it for you as a kid or as an adult or coming into, you 294 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,000 know, these last couple weeks? What's the story, man? 295 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,320 My Nintendo 64 experience is so weird. 296 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,120 It's it's so bizarre. It's so bizarre. 297 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,480 So it's funny that I'm coming on talking about this game because 298 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,160 I remember getting My Nintendo 64 and it was the Pokémon 299 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,280 Stadium bundle. So it came with Pokémon Stadium, 300 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320 it came with the transfer pack. So this had to have been a 301 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200 couple years. I mean, this one came out what, 302 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,640 989998? So it had, yeah. 303 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000 So it had to have been like two years after the council 304 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,640 initially initially launched. And I was just in the the height 305 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,760 of Pokémon mania, the the Game Boy games, the cards, like 306 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,840 literally everything. Yeah, me too. 307 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,320 So my Nintendo 64 experience was really weird because I, I know a 308 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,600 lot of people initially at launch got, you know, the, the 309 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,520 games that everybody thinks of as synonymous with the 64, like 310 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:56,520 especially like Mario 64. Up until recently, I hadn't 311 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,400 played any of the what people would consider like the probably 312 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,560 the high tier and 64 games. I hadn't, I didn't play Mario 313 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,600 64. I didn't own it. 314 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,880 I didn't play Ocarina of Time. I didn't own it. 315 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,360 Star Fox 64, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, like all the games that 316 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,880 people think of, like when they think of that N64 didn't own a 317 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,120 single one of them. I owned weird shit. 318 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520 I owned Gauntlet Legends, which is like one of my favorite 319 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,840 games. I've loved Gauntlet Legends, 320 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,400 Army Men, Serge as Heroes. I think it was the second one. 321 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960 I owned that one. Yeah, there's like 5 for some 322 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,800 reason. So I just owned like a lot of 323 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,480 like weird off like the beaten path kind of N64 games and like 324 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,760 nothing that was actually made but like the actual like 325 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,800 Nintendo IP. So it was really, really, really 326 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,320 weird. And I was playing an N64 at the 327 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,120 same time as I would had like my PS1 and like a Super Nintendo as 328 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,280 well. So I was kind of like switching 329 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,520 back between and forth between all of them. 330 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,080 So yeah, my N64 experience was like super weird. 331 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,800 And like everybody would always talk about like how great Mario 332 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400 64 is and how great Ocarina is and, you know, these Seminole 333 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,840 best games of all time. And it wasn't until my late 20s 334 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,640 that I played Mario 64 and I played Ocarina of Time for the 335 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,960 first time last year. So yeah, my, my N64 experience 336 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,440 is kind of like all over the place. 337 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280 But I have been going back and I've been totally like filling 338 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,240 in some of the gaps. Last year I was, I, I got the 339 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,200 opportunity also to play Wave Race 64, which which that game 340 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 actually like, surprised me. And that kind of blew me out of 341 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,240 the water, like, no pun intended. 342 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,320 It's like. That's fine. 343 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,200 And like how like beautiful the water graphics were in that 344 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,120 game. I was like, what are we looking 345 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:34,480 at? Like it? 346 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,280 Looked real. It's. 347 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,840 Yeah, I thought it looked incredible. 348 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,400 It was. So it's. 349 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,040 Such an early game too, which is just crazy. 350 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,800 Yeah, they had that like a life cycle. 351 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,280 They had that figured out like out-of-the-box, I don't know. 352 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,680 But so, so yeah, I've been going back in and like filling in some 353 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,320 of like the marquee and 64 games as I've gone back since I've 354 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,440 gotten into the podcasting circle, I've like gone back and 355 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240 played like more things that I've missed when I was growing 356 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,720 up because I was obsessed with like Pokémon and, and when I, 357 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,440 when things would come out, I would just obsess over them and 358 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,160 like miss everything else that came out. 359 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,000 So yeah, very, very weird. We're very, very weird N64 360 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,880 experience like Pokémon Stadium. And specifically, I already 361 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,040 mentioned I got the the bundle that had the N64 Pokémon 362 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,960 Stadium, the controller and the transfer pack. 363 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,720 And I know for a fact that I just ate this game up. 364 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,080 It's specifically the first one. I had the second one too, but I 365 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,320 remember I put way more time into the first one. 366 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,760 I would import like all my Pokémon. 367 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,520 I had like the whole Pokedex like maxed out to level 100 368 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,640 because of the rare candy glitch, obviously. 369 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800 And yeah. And so I would just go through 370 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,000 like the tournaments and like just destroy everyone. 371 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,440 And one of my fondest memories that is me and one of my best 372 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,400 friends at the time, we spent like a whole summer. 373 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,080 We got all 151 Pokémon into the Hall of Fame on Pokémon Stadium 374 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,600 by going through the gym leader castle. 375 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920 Like he would come over and we would just go through that with 376 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,120 different teams until we got every single Pokémon into the 377 00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,560 Hall of Fame. It was it was it was absolutely 378 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,240 nuts. And one of my other favorite 379 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,600 things too was when we'll talk about this as well, is they had 380 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,880 the the Gameboy tower that you could play Pokémon on Gameboy on 381 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,400 your TV. And if you had progressed far 382 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,240 enough in the game, you could get like the little sticker 383 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,360 add-ons like the Doduo sticker that lets you play in like 384 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,040 double speed time. And going back now and 385 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,520 experiencing the Gen. one games like those games are slow as 386 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,240 fuck. So being able to play it like 387 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,520 double speed back then, super cool. 388 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,120 So yeah, I, I play, I'm sure I know I played this game to 389 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,360 death. I didn't play the second one as 390 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,840 much because when Gen. 2 came around, I feel like I was kind 391 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,640 of petering off of Pokémon a little bit. 392 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,600 Like I love Gen. 2. It's, it's probably my favorite 393 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,280 generation just cause of nostalgia factor. 394 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200 But I was discovering things like shortly after that I 395 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,680 discovered like Final Fantasy 9 and Kingdom Hearts came out. 396 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280 So like my love affair with Square Enix and RP GS kind of 397 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600 started and I kind of petered off Pokémon. 398 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,720 So, but yeah, I have a lot of nostalgia, a lot of nostalgic 399 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,840 love around this game, but going back to play it now is is 400 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,880 interesting and I think we'll get into that here in a second. 401 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,840 Yeah, No, let's, let's dive in because I think I'll, I'll start 402 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,760 a little bit because it's a little bit of what I, what I 403 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,800 said I again, I've had like if you, if you tell me to name more 404 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,200 than 5 Gen. 2 Pokémon like and had A and, you know. 405 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Can't even make a full team. Like I can't. 406 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,520 Like literally I can't even have. 407 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,360 I can't even have 6 pigeots worth of of of of you know, mind 408 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,480 space to be able to like I honestly, I, I can't like when I 409 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,960 wrote that little intro thing, I said I had to look up that name 410 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,840 like I, I do not know. And I played through Gen. 2 411 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:47,280 completely for the first time. Similar with you with with 412 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,280 Ocarina was some was last year around this time last year. 413 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,800 Interesting. Yeah, it was. 414 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,800 It was actually. No, it was a little bit later, a 415 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,440 little bit any regard. It doesn't matter what it was. 416 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,240 You at least know the starters, the Gen. 2 starters. 417 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Offhand, no, I don't. I know what they look like. 418 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,160 Like, I know I know what they look like. 419 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,840 But like, I, if you show me a Gen. 2 Pokémon or like A2 and A3 420 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,080 or A2 and A4, I'd be like, Oh no, that one's from 2:00, that 421 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,160 one's from 4. Like I, I could identify that 422 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,480 the names, no chance, right? If you threw a Gen. one in front 423 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000 of me, I know all of them and I haven't played a Pokémon game or 424 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,640 Gen. one for 20 years at least, you know consistently enough to 425 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,320 be able to like refresh my memories every once in a while 426 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 I'd pick up blue or whatever, I'd play stadium or it's fine, 427 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,480 no problem. But like man. 428 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,880 So all of that being said, because of all of that and my 429 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:43,040 very limited extended universe of Pokémon, not like I don't I 430 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,640 don't. I've never had a desire to go 431 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,720 back to these games because unless I've had my own Pokémon 432 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,760 in here playing it solo, at least to me, I hate to say, it 433 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,680 feels kind of boring. It just does. 434 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,120 It's just the same thing. Oh, now a commercial's playing 435 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,440 in my video keeps playing over and over and over again of the 436 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:13,280 same slow sort of battles and. And I'm just like, OK, like like 437 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,880 you said, the the 1st 2 gens, especially one it's a slow 438 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,000 they're slow moving games, you know, like you're until you get 439 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,440 that bike. It's like holy shit, let's go 440 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,040 buddy, pick up the pace like you got Pokémon to catch and and A 441 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,280 and a rival to fight and let's go man, Oak needs you to fill 442 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,480 out that pokedex. Come on. 443 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,920 This game kind of like these games kind of feel that way to 444 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,560 me because it's like I don't need to see like it's I think, I 445 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,600 think as a kid and not knowing what they really looked like, I 446 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,320 think it's a really cool idea to get these Pokémon, put them in a 447 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,600 3D space and show you what some of these moves look like. 448 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,880 I think that's great. It's a great representation of 449 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,440 what's been going on for dozens and dozens of hours of how many 450 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,200 times you've played either one of these games. 451 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640 The Game Boy games at the time, like I think that's great. 452 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,560 And some of them still look pretty cool. 453 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,800 Some of them I forgot what they look like and was kind of 454 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,120 surprised. I still like that aspect of it. 455 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,920 But aside from the visual aspect, I was like, all right, 456 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,320 I've done this, you know, I've I did a couple of the gems on each 457 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,240 of them, played a couple of the mini game things and I'm like, 458 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,960 all right, I got my fill, I've got my Pokémon fill. 459 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,600 And somehow, even though Gen. one and two move pretty slowly 460 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,560 when you're not battling, I still would rather play the in 461 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200 between stuff somehow than just the battles. 462 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800 If there's something about maneuvering the environments, 463 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,280 that was enough for me to be like, well, I'd rather actually 464 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,560 play the full game than just the battles. 465 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,320 And I don't know, it's kind of a weird thing because what do you 466 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,000 do in between the battles? Unless you're finding random 467 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 poker balls that have a potion or something. 468 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,080 And what are you doing? You're you're running into 469 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,200 random encounters which kind of suck but that happens so often, 470 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,240 especially in the first one. But somehow I wanted to do that 471 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,680 over playing these games. I'm in a really weird space. 472 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,320 So anyways. Now I need to blast you for 473 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,000 that. Please do the random encounters. 474 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,680 That's what I lived for, the random random. 475 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,320 Encounters. What is wrong with you? 476 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,320 My gosh, you never knew what you were gonna find. 477 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960 You're gonna find a fucking too bad is what you're gonna find. 478 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Or, or a rat. But. 479 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,720 That's what you're gonna find. You don't know that. 480 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,400 What if you find something? What if you find? 481 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,040 What if you find something legendary? 482 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,400 What if you find a shiny? Like, not a gentleman? 483 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,280 You're not variables. Well, I mean. 484 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,440 I I'm talking just these, I'm talking just these two, just 485 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,280 these two and more. More specifically one 'cause 486 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,640 that's where most of my experience is. 487 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,560 But anyways, continue. Sorry. 488 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,160 And Two's better. I will say I do prefer Gen. 2. 489 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,560 It is honestly, the game itself is, is definitely better now 490 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,800 that I played it all the way through. 491 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Like it's, it's better. I just don't have that same, you 492 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,600 know, nostalgia for it and that's it. 493 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,040 But random encounters, really. Oh man, you are younger than me. 494 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840 Jesus. Yeah, I was. 495 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,040 And you know what? I'm gonna say something. 496 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,280 That is because of me being younger and playing this game as 497 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,600 a kid. I would have been somewhere 498 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,720 around like the age of 6 or 7 or so. 499 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,840 When I played this and the transfer pack, I did not 500 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,200 understand how that worked. OK, and I knew I knew you could 501 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,840 I knew you could connect Pokémon. 502 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,320 I knew you could play Pokémon on the TV. 503 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,800 And that's what caused a problem for me because I was like, oh, I 504 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800 can play my Game Boy game on the TV and I had a friend that had a 505 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,120 super Game Boy on the Super Nintendo. 506 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,920 Yes, I had one. So I assumed it was the N64 507 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,640 equivalent of the Super Game Boy right. 508 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,640 So I remember just like popping that in, popping in random Game 509 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,400 Boy games, flipping my N64 on and off and be like why is and 510 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,320 it working? What am I not getting? 511 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,680 That is totally fair, though. That's totally fair. 512 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,840 And the funniest part was I apparently just like gave up on 513 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,200 the whole transfer pack situation like but like mid 514 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,720 trying to do a game. So when I like re like grabbed 515 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,760 all my stuff right and got my transfer pack like I found my 516 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,120 transfer pack and I pulled it out. 517 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:18,960 It had a quest for Camelot in it, because that was the game I 518 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,200 was trying to get on TV because for whatever reason. 519 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,400 And then that got randomly thrown onto Switch Online just 520 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,040 like in the Game Boy library. And I just remembered that I was 521 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,800 like, I can finally do it and. That's not Yeah, I can find 522 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,800 about this dream. It's full circle. 523 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,000 My life is complete. You can die happy now, Jiggy. 524 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,200 Now it's it's for Camelot finally. 525 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,520 So what, like did so I you, you have both cartridges, I believe. 526 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,000 I think they're in the background behind you there. 527 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,240 Yeah.

That's the question. 530 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,680 I did not. Or did you? 531 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,360 Just try and play Camelot again. Yeah, no success. 532 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,880 No, it didn't work. I don't know why. 533 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,440 I still don't.

It says like this. 545 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,520 Let me let me pull it up real quick. 546 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,320 Go grab it.

I left it blank purposefully. 549 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,120 But yeah, it says like. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, mine's 550 00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:53,720 somewhere. Somewhere buried for. 551 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760 Yeah, this game cartridge belongs to and then put your 552 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,680 name on it. And I don't know how I have a 553 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280 copy that doesn't have. A name mine doesn't either, 554 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,600 which is why I didn't even think about it because that's amazing. 555 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,840 I bought like a RE like a, you know, bought a copy of I don't 556 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,200 know where it was, eBay or whatever it was just but. 557 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760 I just love the look at this this. 558 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Into your card is so. Cool, and it's got to be the 559 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,880 only one. That's like that too. 560 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,920 Right like cuz even the stickers like shiny too, like it's cool. 561 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,880 I don't, I don't know any other N64 games that are like 1/2 and 562 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,200 half. Look, it's pretty cool. 563 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,000 It's like a repo or something, right? 564 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,360 So yeah, I. Will say, like Pokémon Stadium, 565 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:36,480 like for me, it's all about battling with friends like and 566 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200 having an online element on Switch Online probably adds 567 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240 quite a bit of value to it, I would think right. 568 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,240 I mean it is essentially, let's just put it in a 3D space and 569 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,520 let's see, like let's watch these epic battles. 570 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,080 I mean that's that's the draw and two just is automatically 571 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,840 better because it does have more Pokémon. 572 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,200 Right. Like honestly that's all you 573 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,520 need a throw a throw Bay leaf in there. 574 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,840 Here's a question. Haley, there it is. 575 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,480 That's one of the ones I can reckon. 576 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,920 Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 577 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,520 If you want the Gen. 2 starters, because we never told you, it's 578 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:15,120 a total dial Chikorita and Oh my gosh, I want to say syndical. 579 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,280 I was like, I wanted to say Typhlosion, but I'm like, that's 580 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,880 the evolution. Yep, yeah, sure. 581 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,160 They were pretty sweet, actually. 582 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,160 They were really cool. I think Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 had 583 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,920 equally amazing starters. They're cool starters. 584 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,680 Yeah, I picked Mr. Mr. Water Dragon dude, when I played it. 585 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,680 I wanted to pick something relegator. 586 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,040 Yeah, yeah, he looks cool. Like I feel like he looks so 587 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,760 cool instead of the the starting three at least. 588 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,560 I don't know. I mean, that's why people pick 589 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800 Charizard, right, Is because he was like he's fire, he's a 590 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,320 dragon. Like, I think that's why it was 591 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,320 like. That's dope. 592 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,200 Let's. Give him a turtle of cannons, I 593 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,120 mean. Eventually, yes, ha ha, I 594 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,160 eventually I picked the leaf, so come on. 595 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,640 Bulbasaur is underrated for sure. 596 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,320 I love Bulbasaur. God he can use cut the. 597 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:58,960 Poster is pretty. Cool. 598 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,600 I don't know if any other guys can use cut. 599 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,240 I don't think so, right. Cut is huge. 600 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,680 It's one of the first HMS you get. 601 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,160 It's huge. You got to, you got to have 602 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,080 somebody who can use cut early and not have to worry about it. 603 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,560 It's almost as important as fly, which I had 6. 604 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,800 Pigeons you can fly 6. Times. 605 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Fly in 6th opposite directions. Yeah. 606 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,600 It's sick in army of pigeons on you. 607 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,360 In Munglitch for sure that'd. Be amazing yeah Eric, how was it 608 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,200 how was it revisiting? How did you play it first of 609 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,240 all, like, how was how'd that go? 610 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Like what was the? What was the dealio? 611 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,840 Yeah, so I have some I have I have several thoughts I've I 612 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,080 would like to also throw my hat in the ring for the random 613 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,520 encounter thing here. First of all, random encounters 614 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,560 were I know that the the tide of opinion has shifted drastically 615 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,560 against random encounters in in the modern age, but back in the 616 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,880 day when I only got like two games a year, like I would just 617 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,520 grind random encounters all day. Like that was my childhood. 618 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,440 And it'd be like, oh, Pokémon just just fight random Pokémon. 619 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440 Or like even Final Fantasy 9, like the first RPGI ever played 620 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,400 was just like I would just spend all day like running around just 621 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,680 fighting, fighting monsters Like that's just that's. 622 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,840 What she did that stuff like at least you got something out of 623 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,160 it. That's. 624 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,720 What she had to do as a older gamer, I appreciate it less and 625 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,720 from what you said, it sounds like we were about the same age 626 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,080 when when this stuff kind of all hit hit the mainstream here. 627 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,560 So I, I have a preference for 1 / / 2 and it was only because 628 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,000 I'm have a specific memory about Pokémon Stadium to that I was 629 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,640 doing the, the gym leader castle thing where you like go through 630 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,280 you fight all the gym leaders. And there was this event like a 631 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,160 3/4 the way through where like team rocket attacked you and one 632 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,840 of the team rocket grunts had like a Pokémon that like new 633 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,480 explosion and for whatever reason, like it was a wall that 634 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,120 I like just I could not get past like every time like I throw, I 635 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320 like bring like my best team. I'd be like, fuck you, I'm 636 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,320 bringing Mew too. I'm bringing Mew like I'm just 637 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,080 bringing all the heavy hitters and I could not beat him and 638 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,480 then like I'd be down to like my MU 2 and he'd have two Pokémon 639 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,320 left and then he'd just be like, oh, explode. 640 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,560 And that would just kill my MU 2. 641 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,160 So I got really pissed at at Pokémon Stadium 2 for like 642 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,640 whatever reason. I'll just be like, I'm going to 643 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,560 go back to Pokémon Stadium 1 because. 644 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680 Whatever reason that is, that is a reason. 645 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,080 Like that's yes, come on. That's like, that sucks. 646 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,080 That's bullshit. Like, come on. 647 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,600 Older me now could probably build a smarter team around that 648 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,400 and just probably handle it with no problem, but younger me use 649 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,040 fly. Use. 650 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:20,480 Fly. Yeah, there. 651 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,040 Yeah, All you do is you just recruited Jiggy. 652 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,200 Yeah, if he was up and flew up in the air, like the guy just 653 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,320 would have blown up and killed himself. 654 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,600 So that would be an easy problem. 655 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,960 Like around the solution, around that problem, like literally 656 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,840 right there. Dig or. 657 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,720 Something, yeah. Yeah, something like that. 658 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,680 But yeah, I remember, I remember getting it at the at the height 659 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,360 of, of Pokémon mania and the, the transfer pack was such like 660 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,800 a novel thing because, you know, that was kind of something that 661 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,600 everyone kind of like dreamed talk about be like, oh, it'd be 662 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,920 so cool if there's like a Pokémon game on the TV and 663 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,360 they're like, not have to see the Pokémon on on your Game Boy. 664 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,720 And so I think the novel thing about Pokémon Stadium around 665 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,640 that time was like, what what you guys were saying is like 666 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,880 seeing the Pokémon in 3D, like that was kind of kind of like a 667 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,920 fulfilment of that wish and then you wouldn't get something like 668 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,160 that again. I mean, yeah, I think he had 669 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,280 like the Pokémon Coliseum games on GameCube. 670 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,040 But like, you wouldn't have like a full like 3D experience of 671 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,680 like Pokémon until I think it was Sword and Shield was like 672 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,120 the real genesis of Pokémon making the jump like to the big 673 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,480 screen in like a meaningful way. So this was was real. 674 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,680 It was really a novel idea. And like, of course, at the time 675 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,280 with with Pokémonia sweeping everybody like this is a slam 676 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,160 dunk idea like that. There's no way this was not 677 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,920 going to not be successful. And they really had the two 678 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,760 elements that when I look back on that era of Pokémon and what 679 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,840 made those games successful in Pokémon Stadium. 680 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,800 And when it was the ability to have your Pokémon that you 681 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,000 caught with the transfer pack and then the multiplayer element 682 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,040 with with your friends, the battling and the trading. 683 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,400 And like that's the two pillars that were really the driving 684 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,200 force of Pokémon in those early days that kind of predated the 685 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,040 Internet in a lot of ways. It was talking with your friends 686 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,160 on the playground. It was trading on the, you know, 687 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,960 on the swings and trading cards and having your friends over for 688 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,760 a sleepover and everybody link cabling and battling at that was 689 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,159 it was a whole experience. Like it's so hard to like. 690 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,800 And I think that's where like a lot of like our nostalgia and 691 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,560 Gen. 1 is rooted because like, not now. 692 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,120 A lot of the younger kids are like Gen. 1 fucking sucks and 693 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,360 those games are stupid. And you're like, listen here. 694 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,159 There's only 150 or 151. Yeah, there's. 695 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,719 Only 150, but they they don't understand, yeah, they don't 696 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,120 understand like the the social phenomena around the games at 697 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,199 that time. And I think probably the closest 698 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:40,000 thing that these games that they maybe have experienced would be 699 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,120 like the summer that Pokémon Go came out and everybody was just 700 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,560 like freaking was just like running around everywhere. 701 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,679 That was the closest thing to like what this was like. 702 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,480 And so I think just the ability to play with their friends and 703 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,520 have the Pokémon from your game made it feel like a really like 704 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,560 personal experience playing it now on the Switch Online, both 705 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,280 versions, is it what you don't have that transfer pack element 706 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,400 and that really strips out like those. 707 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,640 It's cool. You can battle online with 708 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,920 people that's really novel, but without the the personality of 709 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,800 like the team that you make, the team of your Pokémon that you 710 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,280 handcraft and train and build up. 711 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,880 It just feels so like, I don't want to say soulless, but it 712 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,480 feels empty a little bit like that. 713 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,360 And like half the stuff, half the stuff you need the transfer 714 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,280 pack to do. Like you can't use the lab 715 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,240 without the transfer pack. You can't use the Gameboy tower 716 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,880 without the transfer pack like. It's a lot worse than the first 717 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,480 one than the second one. Agreed, agreed. 718 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,320 And I'm sorry, but the as a person, I've played every 719 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,080 generation I've, you know, looked at like I've dabbed a 720 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,440 little bit like competitive and stuff. 721 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,960 Being stuck with the rental Pokémon. 722 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,600 A lot of the rental Pokémon are garbage. 723 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,240 They're like they're bad, their move sets are bad, like their 724 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,960 stats are bad. Yeah, yeah. 725 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,560 Yeah, that's the thing. It's like they. 726 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,240 Purposely are great. Bad moves they're like they're 727 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:04,640 like you have this amazing Pokémon like I I'm just throwing 728 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,760 out an example. This is not like a real thing, 729 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,680 but it's like you have like Moltres, right? 730 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,120 A legendary bird, And then it's like it's got Lear or something. 731 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,680 You're like, when am I going to use Lear as mole? 732 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,400 Trays. I was going to say like tackle 733 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,280 or something like, you know, like tail Wick. 734 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,960 The one I the one I was going for immediately because I know 735 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,440 it's really good in Gen. 1 Alakazam was when I was like 736 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,640 picking and like the move set on Alakazam fucking it doesn't have 737 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,400 psychic. They do like confusion, like 738 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,640 kinesis and like two other moves. 739 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,840 They're just like useless. So you have like this really, 740 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,160 and but like the, if you go to like Abra, the first form, Abra 741 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,880 knows fucking psychic. So you're just like, like, what 742 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,120 are we doing here? Why would you get rid of it? 743 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,160 Yeah, you. Went on that's insane yeah yeah, 744 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,000 that's the thing too, right. It's like it doesn't matter 745 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,640 which evolution you pick, they're all level 50 and they 746 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,880 all have pre chosen move sets and stuff and like that. 747 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Yeah, you're right. Soulless for some reason is the 748 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,720 first thing that came to mind too when you were when you were 749 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,040 talking. But it's like there's the 750 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:14,680 investment isn't there? And I think because you're not 751 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,760 embodying the trainer themselves in this, you're just throwing 752 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,240 the pokeballs out. You're just picking the things 753 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:26,680 you're you're not, you're not embodying anything in this in 754 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,600 this game. So all you really have is what 755 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,880 you've worked towards, which is your move set in your Pokémon, 756 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,280 regardless of what level they are when you transfer them 757 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:42,440 without that, it's just press a press R or down C or whatever 758 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,000 the and then again and then do it again and then do it again. 759 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,000 And it's like, OK, sure, I played another castle like is 760 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,880 that what's his face? Just explode over there self 761 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,840 destruct. Indeed. 762 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,240 Volt or whatever, whoever is that supposed to be. 763 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,360 Volt. Volt Oh yeah, yeah, they all 764 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,400 have names too, like the Yeah CC look at that. 765 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,720 Yeah. He named them all. 766 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,520 I was laughing at the names a minute ago. 767 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,840 It was like vault fault. CC Jigglypuff was Jig Jig which 768 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,200 immediately my eyes were drawn to. 769 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,680 There you go. You're in this game, you're in 770 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,360 this game. I want to know. 771 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,320 What to me? I think that's the the CPU teams 772 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,080 though, Yeah, it is I think unless. 773 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,640 Yeah, the CPU teams say they're really. 774 00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,640 Teams. Yeah. 775 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,120 I think I don't know. I'm I'm we're watching like a 776 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,000 long play thing of of, of it. It's not anything I played, but 777 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,760 yeah, so I look, I, I, I, I think again, I think they're 778 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,600 cool. I I don't know about any of the 779 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,800 mini games, if they're really worth sort of digging into in 780 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,520 it. When they came to switch online, 781 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:46,000 I was like, oh, this is a great idea. 782 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,960 You can play people online. And I remember trying this is 783 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,520 like at least a year ago when they put them in, maybe even 784 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,120 more. They've been on there for for a 785 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,400 decent amount. I haven't, I haven't subbed to 786 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,400 switch online since like early 2024. 787 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,880 I kind of just let it lapse and I don't really miss it that much 788 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,040 in, in this moment, but I'm sure that'll change when the next one 789 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,320 comes out. But I, I like, I was excited for 790 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,960 it. And then I hit that same wall 791 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,360 that you were just talking about where it's like, oh, but OK, 792 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,680 like am I better than the other person? 793 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,640 I don't know if it really matters because there's not a 794 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,960 whole lot of like extra skill involved and maybe they just 795 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,840 have a really shitty move set that it that's what makes me 796 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,240 lose. And it's like, well, shit, like 797 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000 all right, well, on to the next one. 798 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,480 I guess. You know, I, I didn't find 799 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:43,200 replaying either of these the last couple weeks to to feel 800 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,600 that difference. I think 2 looks a little 801 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,760 cleaner, you know, and and I thinks playing them on Switch 802 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,000 online for what I remember at the time and Eric, you can tell 803 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,160 me otherwise, but they've done a decent job of sort of smoothing 804 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,600 out some edges in those games in general on switch online. 805 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,880 Like I think I think their their emulation of them on the on the 806 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,320 system has been decently, decently done. 807 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,720 So yeah, things look a little nicer than probably if I when I 808 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,920 the one that I emulated is probably what it looks like very 809 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,520 close to what it was if I had the actual cartridge, which is a 810 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,080 little bit chunky and muddy. But I think largely the games 811 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,160 look OK too. I don't know if you guys felt 812 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:19,840 any different. Yeah. 813 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,080 They're fine. I think it's for a first go 814 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,840 round in 3D Pokémon. I actually think, I actually 815 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,840 think the Pokémon models themselves are really good. 816 00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:33,800 The environment's pretty basic, but like the Pokémon themselves 817 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,960 look pretty good and we really didn't get this part. 818 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,960 I I guess. I guess we did have some on 819 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,800 GameCube, right? You were saying Colosseum and 820 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,280 stuff but. That's it really. 821 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:52,000 I yeah, but we didn't really get lots of 3D Pokémon until like 822 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,120 X&Y. It's certainly not a mobile. 823 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,600 And the sprites got wicked, yeah. 824 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,720 Yeah, yeah, I, I think, I guess, oh, actually, never mind. 825 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:05,160 We're missing a huge thing that would have come out just after 826 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,280 this or I guess in between would be snap, I guess. 827 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,960 Snap, you saw a lot of these same models. 828 00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:13,000 Oh yeah, pretty of a snap. Yeah, obviously very different 829 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,880 game, but like I'm looking at Electabuzz here. 830 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,760 I'm like, Oh yeah, where do I know that I. 831 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,160 Remember throwing an apple at you? 832 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,320 Exactly, exactly what I was thinking. 833 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,880 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fed you apples and you went. 834 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,520 To your Bunny, was snap. Was that the? 835 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,120 Was that the same year? I think it was 90, yeah, 98 or 836 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,240 99. I'm going to look that up, 837 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:31,920 actually. Great question. 838 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,600 Wonder if they just use some of the same sprites or something. 839 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,400 Not the sprites, but some of the same models. 840 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,280 Yeah, yeah. Definitely looks the same. 841 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,480 Yeah, and the electabuzz does too, which is why it clued clued 842 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,440 into me. So it came out almost exactly a 843 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,000 year later. I'm sure they use reuse some of 844 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,840 the assets, that would make sense. 845 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,600 If they didn't, that'd be kind of silly. 846 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,440 Extra work. Extra work like. 847 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,080 Yeah, I think in terms of playing them on the Switch 848 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,720 Online, I, I thought that the presentation overall and I 849 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,040 thought 2 looked a lot better than than one because I kind of 850 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,400 played them in an afternoon back-to-back. 851 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,720 And I just thought everything about Two's presentation was was 852 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,080 a lot better. I thought the 3D models were a 853 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,680 little cleaner. I thought like all the menus and 854 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,160 like the screen reselect your Pokémon. 855 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,360 That stuff all looked a lot better in Pokémon Stadium 1. 856 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,320 I was just like all this looks like something I could make in 857 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,240 in like Photoshop and like my graphic design skills aren't 858 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,880 like top tier. I'm self-taught. 859 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,440 So I feel like they're definitely up the presentation 860 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,920 level for the the second generation, but I really think 861 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,560 they missed an opportunity on the Switch online. 862 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,600 Because my thought process would be if you're going to put up 863 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,600 Pokémon Stadium, then on the the Gameboy offering for the online, 864 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,200 you should put the game, the Pokémon games on there. 865 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,120 And then somehow make that work into like, oh, you have saved 866 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,080 data on the Switch online for Pokémon. 867 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,000 Use that in Pokémon Stadium. Like I feel like that would 868 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,000 that's me as a no. Brainer 100% yeah. 869 00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:59,080 Maybe. Why would they not put Pokémon 870 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,800 on Game Boy in the first place? Just in general, why is the red 871 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,720 and blue not on there? Or yeah. 872 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,080 Or is the maybe? It's like technology thing, but 873 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,320 I feel like they can make that work like. 874 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,760 Yeah, there's got to be a way to do it. 875 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,120 Maybe it's not as simple as we think it is to like transfer 876 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,960 that data over. Or maybe there would be some 877 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,520 weird thing where you have to make sure it's saved on the 878 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,680 cloud, which would be fine because you have NSL at that 879 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,320 point anyway. So it's like, OK, that should be 880 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,120 fine. But like that would make a huge 881 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,680 difference. They would have so many people 882 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,840 playing these games. I think if. 883 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,080 You could do that. This would be a different 884 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,680 experience too, even like single player and multiplayer, because 885 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,080 then you're taking your personal teams to go and and five people 886 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,760 online. So I think that's a, that's a 887 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,000 way more interesting prospect than than what it is. 888 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,200 Yeah, yeah, I'll say Jiggy, the first one of the first things 889 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,880 that came to mind plays. I know it's a completely 890 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,280 different game, obviously, but I mentioned Puzzle League before 891 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,600 and one of our like the main disappointment that we had in 892 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,400 that game was we couldn't understand why it didn't matter 893 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,400 what Pokémon you picked, like the elements and all that, like 894 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,840 it nothing mattered. You could, you could do fire and 895 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360 water and it it made no difference. 896 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,080 At least this next N64 Pokémon game it mattered. 897 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,480 That's true. At least we got that back. 898 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,320 It was I'm trying to find my sound bite here because it's 899 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,160 legendary of the here it is, here it is. 900 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,560 I just love it being selected for this event is. 901 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,040 Such a well, there's no time to explain everything. 902 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,160 There's no time. There's no time. 903 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,200 You can't explain it. There's no time. 904 00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:32,040 That intro to that game is amazing. 905 00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:34,280 You have lots to do. There's lots to explain, but 906 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,920 there's no time to explain. Get going. 907 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,600 Like what? What's that? 908 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,280 All, Professor Oak says. And then he just. 909 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,080 I wish I could help you, but there's no. 910 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,880 Time, but there's chance. The Professor Oak. 911 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,560 Classic, Legend, classic. And Speaking of sound, I, I 912 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,800 didn't get a chance to record, but actually maybe I could 913 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,800 actually play the sound on here. I want to see if it's going to 914 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,960 show up. I guess you're back. 915 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,200 One announcer. Let's go. 916 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,960 They're tearing. Each other down. 917 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,760 Oh yeah. They strike, fighting, potent 918 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,080 fighting. Some Pokémon. 919 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,360 Oh, who is it? Oh, it's dango. 920 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:27,240 It's burrowed underground again. Again, I, I think I, I like the 921 00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:28,480 announcer guy. I like this guy. 922 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,760 I wish I could do that for a Pokémon game, but I would change 923 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,720 the way I always say Pokémon. Like yeah, I feel like we all 924 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:40,960 say Pokémon. I no, I would if I'm naturally 925 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,920 like just so I would probably say Pokémon like. 926 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,800 I like, I like when they emphasize it. 927 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,240 It's supposed. To be Pokémon, Yeah. 928 00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:51,680 That's what it's supposed to be, yeah. 929 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,480 Who is that Pokémon? You know, it's like, it really 930 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,720 emphasized, like, hey, I just love it. 931 00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,720 It's amazing. It's got a little, little accent 932 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:01,920 on it, that's that's why. That's I think I shorthand to to 933 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,480 Pokémon, but I think people tell me I have a little bit like that 934 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,320 like Midwest Chicago, Chicago in like draw a little bit. 935 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,680 So that's probably just that. Could be that, I mean, I don't. 936 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,480 Know I mean that would all of us. 937 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,720 We all have something. Yeah, I'm sure I have a Canadian 938 00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:18,120 accent that I have no idea exists. 939 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,080 I'm sure everybody. Hears it, but just say you have 940 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,360 no idea about it. I don't know any abood abood it. 941 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,640 I can't. I can't hear it. 942 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,480 I have too much Maple syrup in my mouth. 943 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,800 I don't know. I can't hear it while I'm in the 944 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,280 igloo. It's it's good. 945 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,120 I like it. I there's some repetitive things 946 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,120 as as you're going to get with any game like this, but it adds 947 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,840 a little element that you don't get otherwise. 948 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,120 Again, the 3D part is obviously the big draw here, but at least 949 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,360 you're getting a couple of things. 950 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,640 You know, you got music going the whole time. 951 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,240 At least that guy's sort of commenting and he's not just 952 00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:59,520 saying a lot of generic things because sometimes there's oh, BB 953 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,560 actually says what the move is. He'll say the name of the actual 954 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:07,520 Pokémon like those things I think are an added bonus here to 955 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,640 just sort of picking random, you know, just playing any any other 956 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,560 Pokémon game that would be that would be on here. 957 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,600 So and I don't believe that there's any there's that minimal 958 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,600 voice over or like intro video and and puzzle league. 959 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:27,120 I don't think that there's any voice over and snap. 960 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,200 So I think you're pretty much getting the gist of the sort of, 961 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,680 you know, voice over at least music isn't isn't all of them. 962 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,800 But like getting a lot of that here, which again, you got to 963 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,200 put a lot of stuff on this cartridge. 964 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,640 I thought they did OK with that. So it's something it's not the 965 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,920 best. Thing I wonder something, I 966 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,760 wonder if looking back, because my stupid little kid brain would 967 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,800 have bit just been like Pokémon like amazing like no matter what 968 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,160 it is, you know? Sure, but I wonder how many 969 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,360 people may have been disappointed that this wasn't a 970 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,520 fully fledged like 3D Pokémon outing like the handheld. 971 00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:07,200 You know, I can't help but feel like if this released and I was 972 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,960 like how I am now, I'd have been like, why didn't they just make 973 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,600 it like the Game Boy games, but like in a full 3D environment? 974 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,360 Like it's cool, but it almost makes this game like being 975 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,760 assuming it was a full priced release as well. 976 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,720 Yeah, I'm sure like I'm thinking in terms of that. 977 00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:25,480 I'm just like it feels more like an accessory and you need to 978 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:30,240 have the Game Boy game rather than a stand alone title, which 979 00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:34,160 for me brings it down like like it's got cool elements and stuff 980 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,080 and it's not bad, but it's just like you have to keep that in 981 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,160 mind. And especially at the time, like 982 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,880 you needed those things, you needed the Game Boy game, you 983 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,640 needed the transfer pack. I, I don't know, did like did 984 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,760 they all come with the transfer pack like Pokémon Stadium one? 985 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,840 I'm sure you could buy the cartridge separately, I didn't. 986 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,760 Own it. So I'm not sure I I doubt you. 987 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,960 I doubt they all came with it. The only I mean I I this is 988 00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,760 actually really funny. Actually, I should have messaged 989 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,040 you guys this when I saw it last week. 990 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,720 I went to one of the used game stores or one of the very few 991 00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:06,840 there in my area and they had three. 992 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,680 I don't know how they got 3 but three sealed with the transfer 993 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:16,960 pack game of of this of the first Pokémon stadium like you 994 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,240 know. Like a big box. 995 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:20,400 Yeah, it was the big box, but you know like stupid price, 996 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:21,640 right? Like I think it was a few 100 997 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:22,760 bucks or something stupid like that. 998 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,680 Like like these places will charge. 999 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,040 But I was like Oh yeah, this came with like I forgot that it 1000 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,640 that it could have come with the transfer pack. 1001 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,160 For some reason in my mind, before I saw this in on the 1002 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,000 shelf, I was like, oh, I could picture this number 2, but I 1003 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,960 could not picture that one. I don't know. 1004 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,360 My I I had a transfer pack and my friend did, but he also had 1005 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,280 the game. I have no idea if he if it if he 1006 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,640 bought them together or whatever. 1007 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,440 I assume he would. But yeah, sorry Eric, you're 1008 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,480 gonna say. Yeah, so I'm just doing some 1009 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,040 background research. You guys are saying some stuff. 1010 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,080 So there what there is an inbox version that came with the 1011 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,600 transfer pack. So it was game and transfer 1012 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,920 pack. There's one on eBay right now 1013 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:04,760 that's authenticated and factory sealed going for $1150. 1014 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,760 Oh boy, Jesus, yeah. The one I saw was I think for 1015 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,760 something. Yeah, which was, which is 1016 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,520 enough. I was like, no, also like the 1017 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,480 whole point is like they have that transfer pack, you got to 1018 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,680 open it that whatever I that's just, that's just the state of 1019 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,800 of these collection things at this point. 1020 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,040 So yeah. And I was also looking at the 1021 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,760 announcer. So the announcer was a voice 1022 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,640 actor, American voice actor named Ted Lewis. 1023 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:38,840 OK, he was also the announcer in the anime and he has voiced like 1024 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,040 he voices tons of characters in the anime. 1025 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,440 Like of course, he's voiced like major characters, minor 1026 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,640 characters. He's he's voiced like Pokémon. 1027 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,280 So that's actually kind of a cool little tie in there. 1028 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,360 I didn't, I didn't know that 'cause I always knew that the 1029 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,800 announcer voice sounded like the one from the anime, at least in 1030 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,120 my memory. So I was just like, I have to 1031 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,480 look that up real quick. So Ted Lewis shout out. 1032 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:01,120 Nice legend all. Right, way to go, Teddy. 1033 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,360 The other thing too is when Jiggy when you were mentioning 1034 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,680 the like, maybe being disappointed with this, I 1035 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,080 wouldn't be surprised if that's the thought I had like for sure 1036 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,080 at that time thinking great, maybe I didn't see a commercial 1037 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,880 or I didn't see it in a magazine ad or something. 1038 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,720 So I wouldn't have wouldn't have known the difference. 1039 00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,600 Or maybe it didn't really tell you and it just showed you what 1040 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,600 the battles look like. You know that that's kind of a 1041 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,920 thing that they would do with like a, you know, a print out on 1042 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,600 like a A1 page and Nintendo Power or game pro or something 1043 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,280 like that. What I did find though, when I 1044 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,400 was looking up some of the development stuff for this is 1045 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,440 like a lot of early ish games in the first like two 2 1/2 years 1046 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,640 of this console was that it was supposed to be a 64DD game, 1047 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:45,120 which would have given it more memory, which is possible that 1048 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,760 at that time that's potentially what they wanted to do. 1049 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,960 It doesn't say that explicitly when I looked it up, but it did 1050 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,880 say that that that's was the plan was to make it that. 1051 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,760 So like, you know, even if they did do that, I would be 1052 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,560 surprised if it's just as long. If it's like a 30 hour game. 1053 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,000 I doubt that's what it would have reached. 1054 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,240 But maybe it would have been a three or four gym thing and or 1055 00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,720 A2 gym thing and then you play the the the the league or 1056 00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:10,840 whatever. I keep forgetting the name. 1057 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,080 Maybe, but they would have had to make sure they found a way to 1058 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,160 at least get all the Pokémon in there, at least for the first 1059 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,800 one, like would have found a way, But that was scrap just 1060 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:26,240 like every other thing That was, you know, 64 DD plans, right? 1061 00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:28,080 It was never gonna never gonna be that. 1062 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,040 So I think that was I have. An add on part to that if you're 1063 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,040 interested, cuz I went down a weird rabbit hole with YouTube 1064 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,720 videos and stuff. And so yeah, the 64 DD thing 1065 00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,040 100% accurate. And then it got it got turned 1066 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,760 into a game. And this was actually a Japan 1067 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,040 exclusive game first called it was called pocket monsters 1068 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,800 stadium. And the original game only had 1069 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,560 like 50 Pokémon in it because yeah, they were trying to 1070 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,000 develop it with that DD technology for the more memory. 1071 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,200 And then they're just like, this isn't working. 1072 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,160 So like let's just slap the most like popular 50 Pokémon in there 1073 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,560 called they and and release it. So the first version that Japan 1074 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,720 got was like a severely limited version of a game that I think 1075 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:13,560 their intention was to like have it be used for like official 1076 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,040 like Nintendo Pokémon tournaments that they were 1077 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,000 having at the time. And then when it came over to 1078 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,440 United States, it was like the full working 150 called Pokémon 1079 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,280 Stadium. And then that version in Japan 1080 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,760 was actually Pocket Monster Stadium 2. 1081 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,440 So 1 here was actually two over in Japan 'cause they had that 1082 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,080 first kind. Of I remember hearing that. 1083 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,000 Prototype. It's. 1084 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,800 It's really, really strange, but I just thought that was kind of 1085 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,840 kind of kind of cool And what's. Interesting about that too is 1086 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,920 very often it's the opposite, right? 1087 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,960 We get sort of the the not lesser than, but we'll get it 1088 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,080 later or we'll get it later and it's not gonna have the same 1089 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,800 features or they get 2 like the Japanese market at least at that 1090 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,760 time. We'll get a couple before you 1091 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,240 even get one. You know, Final Fantasy is a 1092 00:53:57,240 --> 00:53:58,680 perfect example of something like that. 1093 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,360 Like in the 90s, like. 3 versus 6. 1094 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,920 Three is 6 yeah, stuff like that, right. 1095 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,320 Like those types of things. And maybe it's the exact same 1096 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,200 game, but like, it's, it's it's a weird sort of thing between 1097 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,600 the markets and, and the, you know, Japanese side of Nintendo 1098 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,520 and stuff. And obviously I think Sega ran 1099 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,640 into a bunch of those problems too, but that was a whole other 1100 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,480 reason. Like, they just basically feuded 1101 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,400 with each other constantly. The same company. 1102 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,160 Yeah. So I, I think like I think doing 1103 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,800 more with this would be cool, but I do get at the time that 1104 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,680 this is what they wanted to do. The other thing I did, I did C2 1105 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,000 with this whole, you know, the background of it too, was that 1106 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:40,000 part of the idea of I don't have the I should have written down 1107 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,600 the name of the the CEO of a Nintendo at the time. 1108 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,960 They were thinking that this would be with the transfer pack 1109 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,520 thing, that you could sort of play this game almost on the go. 1110 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,120 But I guess that's kind of what like the link cable ended up 1111 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,320 being and stuff too. Like it was going to be a little 1112 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,960 bit more of a mobile experience, like Stadium specifically. 1113 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,160 And I was like, oh, that's interesting. 1114 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,600 And then I thought, yeah, but that's just really what the 1115 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,200 transfer pack or the transfer cable or whatever was for Game 1116 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,240 Boy. But I guess in 3D would have 1117 00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:15,880 been kind of cool to kind of be able to find a way to do that. 1118 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,920 But then you also have to have the handheld that's able to do 1119 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,240 that and like it's a whole other thing. 1120 00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:22,360 So they they had ideas already at the time. 1121 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,360 It was just a matter of how do you implement this and do so 1122 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,320 much at once. And the 64 is already a huge 1123 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,920 step forward in in technology and things like that. 1124 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:36,080 So, you know, it's cool. It's a small like early 1125 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,000 iterations of things that we kind of take for granted at this 1126 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,800 point now, I would say just being able to play these games 1127 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,280 on Switch online is already to be like, oh, shit, look at that. 1128 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,080 You know, it seems like a nothing, we obviously we have a 1129 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,440 couple note notes that we would add to it and like how they 1130 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,880 could improve it. But like you could play this 1131 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,600 online. That's pretty sweet. 1132 00:55:57,720 --> 00:55:59,840 You know, at least there's an opportunity to do that. 1133 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,520 So I don't. I don't know if a lot of people 1134 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,400 play it now though 'cause they could just play the new Pokémon 1135 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,360 game instead. Of yeah, I mean, let's be honest 1136 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,240 here, the new Pokémon game isn't that dramatically, I mean. 1137 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,040 Is it not good? I don't. 1138 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,360 Know it's OK. No, it's, it's fine. 1139 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,200 OK. I guess there's more. 1140 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,120 I played, I played all of them. Yeah, I get, I get them all. 1141 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:26,720 I play them all and I just don't feel like the leaps are really 1142 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:29,640 there, you know, I, they always feel like behind somehow. 1143 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,960 And this almost feels like way ahead of anything they did for 1144 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,280 like 10 years, 15 years. I don't know. 1145 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,080 Right. Yeah. 1146 00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:42,800 Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think there's, I think there's 1147 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:48,080 a genius to having Pokémon, whether it's intentional or not, 1148 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,800 to having Pokémon be on handhelds. 1149 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,600 I think that like if it was a home console thing from the 1150 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,040 beginning or like largely a home console thing and until you had 1151 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,720 the Switch, you'd have to play it on your couch. 1152 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,920 I think being able to take it everywhere, whether you could 1153 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,160 transfer Pokémon or not or battle or not. 1154 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,120 I, I think that's a huge reason why it's, it's so successful. 1155 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:16,800 But with that, like you just said, one of the big reasons or 1156 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,800 one of the things that refreshed it was a game like this and it 1157 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,320 was 3D and sitting on your couch. 1158 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,440 So it's like, where's that middle ground? 1159 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,040 I guess the new ones are kind of the middle ground of that, but I 1160 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,040 also haven't played them so I'm just assuming that's the case. 1161 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,440 Legend legends of Archaeus or Arceus or Archaeus. 1162 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,040 I'm I actually don't know how to pronounce it. 1163 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,040 I actually don't know. Yeah, that I really enjoyed that 1164 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,920 one. It's a different format, but 1165 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,200 still feels like traditional Pokémon in my mind. 1166 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,840 The simple adjustments that they made to the formula of like, 1167 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,920 first you get to explore everywhere, which is really 1168 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,160 cool. You catch Pokémon by just 1169 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,480 chucking a bunch of pokeballs at them, which is amazing. 1170 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,640 And they have variations in the size of the Pokémon. 1171 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:03,760 So like you can get alpha versions of Pokémon, which are 1172 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,360 basically just giant versions. Like they're really big. 1173 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,240 So you get like a Scyther and he's like this big on the 1174 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,080 screen, and then an alpha Scyther would be like this big 1175 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,240 and they're like dramatically different. 1176 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,200 And then to like hunt for shinies and then to find shiny 1177 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,720 alpha variance adds just like another depth of like 1178 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,400 exploration and grinding. That's really cool to me. 1179 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,320 Like a good incentive. Yeah. 1180 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,680 I'm very excited about the new Pokémon Legends game. 1181 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,680 I think that's a really cool direction to take. 1182 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:38,120 And I think Legends of Archaeus was way better than Scarlet and 1183 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,440 Violet in my opinion. I feel like Scarlet and Violet 1184 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,760 took elements from Legends trying to improve the formula 1185 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,320 and it didn't do as good. But I have no, I, I 100%, yeah, 1186 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,440 100% agree with you. I think, I think Legends RCS is 1187 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,760 like the most bold departure they've had. 1188 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,720 And it's still not even that much of A departure. 1189 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,560 Like it's not, it's nothing that groundbreaking, like they're 1190 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,120 just tweaking some things about the generic formula. 1191 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,720 But yeah, I, I agree. I thought that was better. 1192 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,480 And like Scarlet and Violet, there's some performance stuff 1193 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,000 there. It's got the bones of a Pokémon 1194 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,840 game. Like you know what you're 1195 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,320 getting this this experience specifically, like going back to 1196 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,360 the stadium is fascinating because it feels like it's so 1197 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,000 dependent on the transfer pack technology. 1198 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,480 And I don't really feel like any other Nintendo 64 game really 1199 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:29,120 fully utilizes it to the extent that stadium did. 1200 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,840 I mean, like there are some I like no Mario and Golf and Mario 1201 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,480 Tennis had transfer pack elements because there were Game 1202 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,160 Boy versions of those games. And I think Perfect Dark had a 1203 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,120 transfer pack element to it as well. 1204 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,160 But those are just like, oh, unlocked, but but this is like 1205 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,960 unlocked extra things, I think, or and stuff like that. 1206 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,000 I don't. Remember, if it actually had it 1207 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,920 or if it was cancelled, I know it wanted to work with like the 1208 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,960 Game Boy Camera. Like there there was like a plan 1209 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,440 to work with the Game Boy Camera where it could like, take a 1210 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,960 picture of you and then put your face on like the model of the 1211 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,200 enemies. Yeah, right. 1212 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,960 Or whatever. Interesting. 1213 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,920 I don't remember if it was implemented, but there is a Game 1214 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,920 Boy version of Perfect Dark, so probably. 1215 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,080 It's also interesting. It's got a it's got a rumble 1216 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,200 pack, man. It's like Poke. 1217 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,720 It's like Pokémon Pinball, which is also an amazing game. 1218 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,200 Mickey Speedway, Mickey. Speedway. 1219 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,960 Speedway. Yeah, Transfer pack, yeah. 1220 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,120 Yeah, like the one though I've we've talked about this because 1221 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,640 I love the the golf games. The G1 is very similar to this. 1222 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,640 I mean, you, you get, I think you get more, I would have it 1223 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,960 with this like it, it improves this game dramatically. 1224 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,640 Pokémon Stadium, if you're transferring your Pokémon into 1225 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:39,840 it with golf and and tennis, you just put your character into it. 1226 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,560 Like it doesn't, you don't level them up like you would in the 1227 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,960 actual Game Boy game and stuff. It's really just like, oh, it's 1228 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,200 another character you could pick, which is cool, but those 1229 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,920 characters are not, you know, Canon Nintendo characters. 1230 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:57,960 They're just generic Dave that, you know, happens to be the only 1231 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,080 person in the game that golf's left. 1232 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:01,920 Because I'm weird like that. That's how I golf. 1233 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:04,840 I can't. I feel like there's missed 1234 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,320 opportunity with that technology. 1235 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,160 I think I think you're right. That's exactly. 1236 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,720 I don't know if you were saying that earlier where it was like 1237 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,160 if it was a thing where like you could just strap the the the 1238 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,200 pack on the back of your NCC 4 controller and play any Game Boy 1239 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,320 game on the the TV through the Nintendo 64. 1240 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,040 That that would feel like. I mean, that way you don't have 1241 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,800 to force everybody to be like you have to make a Game Boy tie 1242 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,520 in with your N64 game to that you can use the transfer pack. 1243 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,880 Then it has some additional use outside of that. 1244 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:37,120 And it see that seems doable because the the Game Boy tower 1245 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,880 elements of stadium 1 and two were just, it was just a Game 1246 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,240 Boy emulator that ran that ran your cartridge to the transfer 1247 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,400 pack. So they could have just made the 1248 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,920 Game Boy emulator technology and I assume like built that into 1249 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,720 the N64 and just had the transfer pack. 1250 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,680 And maybe maybe I'm not a very smart technological guy, but to 1251 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,280 me that makes sense in my like tiny brain. 1252 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,800 So they could have don't. Worry. 1253 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,720 It makes sense in my tiny brain. Well, they. 1254 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,240 Were doing some crazy shit. Tiny brains together all. 1255 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,000 People 1 normal brain and we're all thinking the same thing. 1256 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,720 It's OK. They were doing some crazy shit. 1257 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,640 I'm sure they could have figured it out at Nintendo. 1258 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,160 Like, yeah, like, so Toro WADA figured out how to get like the 1259 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,600 Gen. 1 entirely of Gen. 1 onto the Pokémon Silver card and Gold 1260 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:17,600 card. So it's like, they could have 1261 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,280 figured this shit out and that would have been an amazing, 1262 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,800 like, the Game Boy was still going strong. 1263 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,600 That would have been an amazing like additional use of the 1264 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,800 transfer. That the color Game Boy Color 1265 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,520 came out right, pretty much as this game came out or very 1266 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,960 within months of this game, like now you have these games in 1267 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,200 quote UN quote color and like it it would have been it would have 1268 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:38,680 been great. Any game like it doesn't matter 1269 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:39,880 what game. It doesn't have to be a Pokémon 1270 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,400 game, right. I have so many Game Boy Color 1271 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,520 games. I would have loved to play some 1272 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,800 of these like a racing game, like if it was Mickey Speedway 1273 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,520 or something like that. Like I have a couple of Tony 1274 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,840 Hawk games which are so strange, like that'd be cool to play on a 1275 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,840 slightly bigger screen. Was my TV big at the time? 1276 01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,160 No, it was probably like literally like 16 inches or like 1277 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,960 it was nothing. I'm trying to think if there's a 1278 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,960 game like outside of like Guitar Hero or Dance Sense Revolution 1279 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,000 or things of that nature that was so dependent on like an 1280 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,680 outside like peripheral. Like like it's like like like 1281 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,040 Pokémon say. I can't think of one off the top 1282 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,520 of my head besides like. Rhythm is might be hurt Mario 1283 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:19,560 Paint. Mario Paint. 1284 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,320 Oh, without. Yeah. 1285 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,040 Yeah. Yeah, without the mouse you 1286 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,040 literally can't play that game. Or I think there's a couple of 1287 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,080 things I think you could use the controller for, like the music 1288 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,800 thing and maybe the actual paint thing, the actual like paint 1289 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,000 game, mini game part of it. I think that's it. 1290 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,320 But like you're not, you're not playing the same game, you're 1291 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,400 not experiencing. So if we can switch. 1292 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,000 To joy cons as the mouse we could get Mario paint on the 1293 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,920 switch on lines or just Yep. The, the new switch, I would be, 1294 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,840 I, I, when I saw that that was something that they might be 1295 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,080 doing, like when they showed a that that could be a thing and I 1296 01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,680 didn't catch it when I watched that really brief sort of it. 1297 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,720 Was like that wolf on Wall Street mean with like the the 1298 01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,080 beer and he's like. Yeah. 1299 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,520 Yeah, yeah. Kind of like, yeah. 1300 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,480 Mario Paint. Mario Paint I was that that I 1301 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,680 was thinking, no, that's a a. Hollywood, by the way, we fit. 1302 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,280 We fit, We fit. Two, that's a good peripheral. 1303 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:22,640 Yeah, we fit 2 is a good one. Yeah, I if they make another 1304 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,440 Mario Paint, oof. I'm not going to rush to get a 1305 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,160 Switch too. But if they make a Mario Paint, 1306 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:29,920 I might have to push some kids out of the way. 1307 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,960 Man. That's the killer app for you, 1308 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,440 huh? Dude, it's great. 1309 01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,080 It's crazy. I've talked about it before. 1310 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,280 I think Mario Paint is one of the most innovative things 1311 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,280 they've ever done. Like especially at that time, 1312 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:46,000 who the fuck thinks about adding a mouse to a console like that? 1313 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,760 I know it's just a mouse but I don't know man. 1314 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,200 And sadly it's like the only game that used it, which is a 1315 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,240 little silly, but. You're talking to the Kingdom 1316 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,240 Hearts guy. It's not just a mouse. 1317 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,680 Yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. 1318 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,960 And there's. Certain things that have 1319 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:05,840 happened. Yeah. 1320 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,440 Nintendo was on some crazy shit in the 80s and 90s so I mean 1321 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,520 they wouldn't like a mouse. Seems like one of their more 1322 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,200 tamer ideas. I think it's just, it's a very, 1323 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,360 it's a very innovative idea. I think at the time when 1324 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,320 computers were already very minimal. 1325 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,560 So to be familiar enough with a mouse to be like, let's make a 1326 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:31,000 whole game about this in 1993. I think it came out like that is 1327 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,320 that is something and I don't know, Switch tool will probably 1328 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,000 have a bunch of, you know, ideas which I hope they take advantage 1329 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,240 of Pokémon, they take advantage of Mario Payne, like I you know, 1330 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,400 all that kind of stuff. Like I think there's opportunity 1331 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,280 there, even though hardware wise, I'm sure it's always going 1332 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,680 to be a step, quote UN quote step behind the other the other 1333 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,400 consoles. But switched it switched it well 1334 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,720 enough. I I don't think they really 1335 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,880 care. I just need the the switch to 1336 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,720 joy kinds and not drift and I will be happy. 1337 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:03,760 I never I I was lucky enough I have AI have a launch switch, I 1338 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,080 have the original joy cons and I have one other set. 1339 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,000 I never ran into it with mine. I got lucky. 1340 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,160 I'm jealous. Every pair I bought drifty 1341 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,200 within six months. Really I'm. 1342 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,640 Really. I'm very salty about it I've 1343 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:16,480 I've bought like 4 pairs of joy cons. 1344 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,280 I currently only have my OLED pair. 1345 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,720 Well actually I might have an extra pair, I'm not sure, I 1346 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,040 don't remember. I never used them anyways 1347 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,200 because they're tiny. I do not have big hands but 1348 01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,760 they're tiny to me so I can't imagine. 1349 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,120 Might be like for a normal person. 1350 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,080 I have. I have pretty pretty smallish 1351 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,320 average size. Edge I'm like, yeah, my hands 1352 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,320 are very average size and yes I have to hold them like this and 1353 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,720 they still. Carpal tunnel requires me for my 1354 01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,000 hands to look like claws. Look at this. 1355 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,000 Yeah, look at this. Yeah, yeah, it's brutal. 1356 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,680 What's crazy is I feel the exact same way about the way that the 1357 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,600 joy cons feel like in handheld and stuff like that. 1358 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,840 And yet, and I think it's just because of the game itself, I 1359 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:04,320 still put 40 something hours, 50 something. 1360 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,440 It's probably even more, probably double that of Hades 1361 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,320 on, on Switch on. And I played it. 1362 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,320 It's a great game, 90% handheld, 90% handheld cause at the time I 1363 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,760 was commuting and it was just like this and I just could not 1364 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,200 stop playing that game. It's that's the perfect game to 1365 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:22,760 my handhelds too. What's that? 1366 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:23,840 Agreed. I'm right there with you. 1367 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:25,680 I said that's a perfect handheld game and I'm. 1368 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,520 I agree 100%. It's one of the best games I 1369 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,280 ever made, for sure. Yeah. 2 is so good already. 1370 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,000 It's so good already. Already. 1371 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:33,720 It's I'm waiting for it to come out of early access. 1372 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,760 Yeah, I'm. I'm a sucker. 1373 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,000 I'm a sucker. I got it right away. 1374 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:38,320 I'm jealous. I'm like watching people through 1375 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,160 the window in the rain. Check it out. 1376 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,320 I'm like, I'm yeah, oh, wait, I'll, I'll tell you, I'll say, 1377 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,360 I'll say this right now and then we'll stop talking about Hades. 1378 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:52,640 The second one is already just as big, if not bigger than the 1379 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,960 first one already. And it's been early access for 1380 01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,520 maybe six months as as of us sitting here at the like, it was 1381 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,160 like that from the beginning. It's insane. 1382 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,640 It's insane. And it's just different enough 1383 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,800 the way that it controls and what the character does. 1384 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,320 That is, in my opinion, right now, 100% worth playing. 1385 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:15,800 So OK, yeah, yeah, it's awesome. Anyways, Pokémon Stadium, 1386 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:22,120 everybody, pretty good. If you got a chance to get the 1387 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,359 whole bang the whole shebang thing with the transfer packet, 1388 01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:27,040 I think you're really gonna get a lot more out of it. 1389 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,319 If you've never played Snap, for example. 1390 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,720 This is a cool way to see a lot of these models for the first 1391 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,640 time in 3D in this, in this type of 3D at least. 1392 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,240 And it's just it's it's interesting. 1393 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,319 It's it's cool that they did this fun that we got to revisit 1394 01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:47,000 it, I think still, but we I think we're all kind of sort of 1395 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,160 on the same wavelength here where it's like without that 1396 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,319 extra investment from the transfer pack, it feels like 1397 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,560 it's just, I don't know, it feels like a very much like 1398 01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:58,439 press A to continue. I don't know. 1399 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,920 It's a very. It's a very It's a product of 1400 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,120 its time. Sure. 1401 01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:08,319 And it is one of those games that I think actually, if you 1402 01:09:08,319 --> 01:09:13,200 went back and you are a collector and you had a transfer 1403 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,920 pack, an old Game Boy cart with a team, like that's how you get 1404 01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,800 the full experience out of this game. 1405 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,000 You can play it on switching online and get kind of a feel 1406 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,680 for it and see what it's like and kind of test the waters. 1407 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,880 But if you really like, if you're super into it, if you're 1408 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,439 like, Oh my gosh, Pokémon Stadium, this is it. 1409 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,240 Definitely go back and get the actual game and the actual 1410 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:38,960 hardware, and you'll have a much more complete experience. 1411 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,040 That's all I'm gonna say, yeah. I think you're absolutely right. 1412 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,279 I think it would be worth it. Honestly, as long as it doesn't 1413 01:09:44,279 --> 01:09:45,800 cost an arm and a leg I think it would be worth it. 1414 01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,319 Pokémon Stadium 2 is kind of expensive, though not exactly. 1415 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,160 OK, Yeah. Because the cart looks cooler, 1416 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,120 obviously, yeah. And it's a later, later game 1417 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:56,920 too, right? So like that always adds to it. 1418 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:58,560 There's probably just less of them would be. 1419 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,520 Maybe like 2000? Yeah, the first one is like 1420 01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,640 somewhere probably in like the $50 range. 1421 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:09,560 And then U.S. dollars, Freedom dollars, it's Canadian. 1422 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,040 And then Pokémon Stadium 2 is probably closer to like the 1423 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,640 hundred $110 range. So. 1424 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,280 It's yeah, it's, it's a bit more expensive. 1425 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,040 You might be able, you might be able to find it cheaper. 1426 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,440 But yeah, that that was kind of what I what I saw when I was 1427 01:10:24,440 --> 01:10:26,120 looking it up a while back. Absolutely. 1428 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,960 No. Yeah, I, I agree with both you 1429 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,040 guys. I think it is very much a 1430 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,080 product of its time, like a lot of Gen. 1 stuff I've gone back 1431 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,920 and experienced lately. I think if you weren't alive for 1432 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:41,080 that, that time period, I can see how if you're like a younger 1433 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,320 20 something and you're like going back, check out retro 1434 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,480 games, how you could see that, yeah, these games aren't really 1435 01:10:47,480 --> 01:10:50,920 that great if you can't play them on the hardware or in the 1436 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:55,880 time period that they happened. It just seems like such a large 1437 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,480 investment to like be like, hey, if you really want the better 1438 01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:02,480 experience of this, get an N64, get a cart, get a transfer pack 1439 01:11:02,480 --> 01:11:05,200 and get a Game Boy game. I don't know how many people 1440 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,000 outside of collectors are actually going to go for that 1441 01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,400 sort of thing, but I do feel like with, and this is something 1442 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:16,040 I've experienced with a lot of N64 games, a lot of the N64 1443 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,320 experiences play better on their native hardware. 1444 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:24,200 I feel like I played Mario 64 on the 3D All Stars collection and 1445 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:28,600 on the N64 and the N64 experience is just such a better 1446 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,200 experience on the actual hardware. 1447 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,560 Same, same thing with Ocarina. I've got a chance to play over 1448 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,840 to Ocarina and I just feel like there's no comparison between 1449 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,360 playing that on modern hardware and playing. 1450 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:42,080 So a lot of the N64 experiences are designed very well 1451 01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,800 specifically for the N64. And I feel like this is this 1452 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,800 falls in that category. It's better if you're in that 1453 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,520 time period with that hardware. But now, yeah, it's it's kind of 1454 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,400 rough if you don't have that. Yeah, that's a good point that 1455 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,320 there's a lot of reason why this, I mean, the 64 has been 1456 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,480 notorious for being pretty rough and emulation like just if 1457 01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:05,520 you're not switch online. So that definitely rings true. 1458 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,320 I looked. Up even if you are switch 1459 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:08,200 online. Even if. 1460 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,600 Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's Goldeneyes. 1461 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:12,840 Not great. Switch online. 1462 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,200 No, it at the time, I remember when we did our episode on it 1463 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,960 was right when those came out, those re releases came out. 1464 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,880 You're using dual sticks or you're sort of using dual sticks 1465 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,200 on Xbox. It was actually OK. 1466 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,440 It was actually OK on Game Pass. OK, yeah, it was actually all 1467 01:12:28,440 --> 01:12:31,640 right, except the time I think I just didn't have the Switch on 1468 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,400 me or something like that. I played on it was it was good. 1469 01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:36,320 I played all the way through it. It feels different, looks 1470 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,520 different, but playing it with the joystick, playing with the 1471 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,720 64 just yeah, it's the way to go. 1472 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,640 OK, before we get out of here, I just wanted to double check. 1473 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,360 I was checking what the prices are here, OK? 1474 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,520 So if you want to get at least the prices that show up for me, 1475 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,720 140 for two for just the cartridge of Stadium 2, which is 1476 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,920 just like you said, GE 150, something like that. 1477 01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:02,800 And one is around the $50 range it looks like without anyone's 1478 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,800 name written on it too, which is nice. 1479 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,160 Like an added. It's almost like an added. 1480 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,320 Legendary A legendary. Picture. 1481 01:13:08,440 --> 01:13:09,720 They would use that as the picture. 1482 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,600 Yeah, that's true. But but, and I've done this a 1483 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,480 couple times of a couple of Japanese games that don't really 1484 01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:17,800 require you to read anything. Maybe with this game. 1485 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,880 But this game is all about reading stuff. 1486 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,560 But you don't know any of the moves otherwise. 1487 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,440 But well, you could play around a little bit, but if you want 1488 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:32,000 all three, if you want all three Japanese versions of Pokémon 1489 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:39,440 stadium ish stadium like it's it's around 100 to 120, at least 1490 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:43,400 in Canadian dollars, So around 100 bucks US for all three. 1491 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,200 This particular listing that I'm looking up, these two listings 1492 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:47,640 I'm looking up also have the box. 1493 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,640 So easy. Interesting. 1494 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,880 Yep. And you can get the little sort 1495 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,560 of like, I think they just work on your hardware, right? 1496 01:13:55,560 --> 01:14:01,160 So and a lot of the art on the Japanese games are pretty sweet, 1497 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,000 like if you'd like a nice looking box. 1498 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,720 Usually better, yeah. I have the Mario G1 behind me 1499 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,920 where it's just like basically the shadow of Mario golfing. 1500 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,520 And like that's the, that's the thing. 1501 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:16,400 Like I love that it's so simple. It's got the different form 1502 01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,720 factor too. It looks like, you know, like 1503 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,160 more modern games, more vertical style. 1504 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:26,360 So anyways, that's that. So check it out if you can. 1505 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,720 But like like you guys said, it's an investment. 1506 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,360 It's an investment. So it's it's looks. 1507 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,560 Like transfer packs are only 10 to $12.00 on eBay, so transfer 1508 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,360 packs aren't too bad. That's pretty good. 1509 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:37,800 That's surprising. Surprising. 1510 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,280 Not like the the expansion packs, which are like fucking 1511 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,720 like 80 bucks and shit like that's crazy. 1512 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,680 They're so I did. Not know that. 1513 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,480 Yeah, they're so expensive. I think they were old. 1514 01:14:47,480 --> 01:14:50,960 They were limited, pretty limited in in their availability 1515 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,280 and stuff. So, and at first only with 1516 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:58,840 Donkey Kong I, I believe at the time, at first, at the very 1517 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,760 initial release anyway. OK Eric, before we get out of 1518 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,800 here one more time, where can everybody find unlockables? 1519 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:10,280 And at least as of this recording, we know what's up 1520 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,280 next. Or are we going back to Kingdom 1521 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:16,080 Hearts 1? No, no, as of this recording, 1522 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,520 we're going to be done with I think Kingdom Hearts and Square 1523 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,200 Enix for for a while. I need AI, need a little bit of 1524 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:22,520 a break. I need to make it go back to 1525 01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:28,400 some regular, regular gaming things I don't really have a 1526 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,400 plan for, for what's next. Past that, I'm going to be 1527 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,560 taking a little bit of a break while I like maybe script some 1528 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:35,000 stuff or figure out some episodes. 1529 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,680 So yeah, more news on that in the future. 1530 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,160 I am doing some other things. I've been posting some more like 1531 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,560 short form content and chopped up videos. 1532 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,440 Just some other things of some random stuff I've been talking 1533 01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:48,960 about trying my hand it other social media things. 1534 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,960 If you want to follow any of those endeavors, all the stuff 1535 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:55,480 can be found on my link tree linktr dot EE forward slash 1536 01:15:55,480 --> 01:15:58,440 unlockables podcast.
