What's up everyone welcome to the 497th episode of the

Pokemon podcast. It's super effective. I'm your host, SbJ with me is will I'm here because Greg's in Hawaii this week. Oh, that's

That's the right thing. Are we recording in the right format will we are recording in the correct format? Yes, the three F. All right. Yes. Well, because Greg is in Hawaii this week, we brought

Al in from the year of some part with all that you're a pews to some part like you the easiest part to remember is the fact that I'm from Scotland Steve. I don't think that's the hard bit. Oh, yeah, well, you know,

somewhere tucked away over there somewhere in the map. So here's the thing. We have not done an episode like this since probably

Black and white I think is when we well, and that was kind of unfair because black and white came out in Japan. Like a year before it came out. Everyone else. That wasn't a year. It was like six months, seven months. I don't know. I'm thinking more like X and Y or Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire was the last time we did something like this. I think Alan, I did do some sun and moon spoilers at the end of an episode after credits. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think we did that before.

Well, if you're listening, hello, we're a Pokemon podcast. That's pretty obvious. Probably because you clicked on it in some sort of podcast app. We are going to be talking about the leaks.

We're Pokemon Legends. We're recording this on January 23rd of the game.

Five days ago, pretty, pretty fully. The game comes out on January 28th. We will be talking about the polkadex, the polkadex, the new Pokemon,

and then a couple mechanical changes. So if you don't want spoilers, probably wait to listen to this episode after you play the game on Friday.

We will not be talking any story spoilers. I'm going to assume that you're going to catch Archius probably at some point in the game because he's the game is called Legends Archius.

I mean, Archius is a mythical. You don't normally catch those. Yeah, that's true. But yeah, that's pretty much going to be the episode. There's going to be no question in the week. Sorry to YouTube and anyone who wrote in will has a very special Pokemon of the week.

But very special.

Very special. If you make it to, but yeah, we're going to be talking about the Pokemon shown, the new ones, the polkadex size specifically is going to be the topic.

And then some of the things that would make this game different. And that's pretty much going to be today's episode. And then I still don't know what we're going to do for the mini series.

I'm thinking for Greg and I, we're going to do like a first impressions, a middle impressions, and then like a final impressions, maybe just like a three episode part.

Because I again, I have no clue how this game is structured or I don't even after looking at the weeks and I'm like, it's definitely a video game. I don't know how they break it up into parts.

Also, there's a lot of stuff I haven't looked at. And I, I, I'm, I might be speculating. I'm sure there are stuff that I've seen that Al hasn't seen. I'm sure there's stuff. Al is seen that will hasn't seen. So we're just going to see nothing.

Not, not, not, not, except when you guys put in front of my face. I have seen so much. I watched two Twitch streamers play for like 15 minutes each. And that was actually really interesting.

And in watching those streamers, you felt like you still want to play this game.

Oh, it made me want to play the game more nice. This is what I want to start off with.

The, I, I think that they did probably the worst job in the world marketing this video game. I, I think the marketing behind this game was so bad.
