Oh, what's up everyone? Welcome to the $498,000

198 episode of the Pokemon podcast. It's super effective. I'm your host S.B.J.

And with me today is Will. I wish I could do a yaka of smear off accent, but I can't. So all I can say is

Greg those

and you know, you catch monster in tall grass in his sui monster in tall grass is you.

Let's go back to the

sleep in bother to do this.

Greg is here is you. Let's talk about this bad game. Come on.

Oh my gosh.

You know, before we record these episodes, we don't actually talk about our feelings. So I don't actually know how Greg and Will feel about this game.

Hey, here's what's going to happen. We did not do a mini series for this game, mostly because we did not know how this game is going to be laid out.

There will be a bonus episode or two later this week with some thoughts and feelings.

So not 100% share what this is going to look like. We're recording. We're recording this at a normal Sunday morning. I'm still doing a marathon on Twitch as we're recording this.

And then we'll go from there for this episode. If you're listening, if you tuned in right now before and you're like, I don't know if I should keep listening.

We're going to only talk up to cleaver. I think there's more than enough to talk about.

Good, because that's as far as I've got.

You know, all stories on the table up to cleaver. All mechanics on the table up to cleaver. All Pokemon on the table up to cleaver.

You know, they do the thing where they show a bunch of new Pokemon in previews. And then you don't get any of them until very far into the game.

It's fine. It's fine.

Okay, I guess. Look, I have what I need out of the game right now.

We'll try to have somewhat of a structure for this episode. I would probably call this episode like a first impressions.

I have played the game for about 20 hours over the last 50 some hours. It's been out.
