WEBVTT

05:30.000 --> 05:32.000
Oh

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
Baby, hand me the gun

07:02.000 --> 07:06.000
Me, oh, me, oh

07:06.000 --> 07:10.000
Me, yeah, me, baby

07:10.000 --> 07:12.000
Hand me the gun

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
I

08:30.000 --> 08:32.000
I

09:30.000 --> 09:32.000
I

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
I

12:00.000 --> 12:02.000
I

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
I

15:30.000 --> 15:37.000
I

15:37.000 --> 15:40.000
I

15:40.000 --> 15:43.000
I

15:43.000 --> 15:46.000
I

15:46.000 --> 15:49.000
I

15:49.000 --> 15:52.000
I

15:52.000 --> 15:55.000
I

15:55.000 --> 15:58.000
I

20:58.000 --> 21:00.000
I

23:28.000 --> 23:30.000
I

25:28.000 --> 25:30.000
I

31:58.000 --> 32:00.000
Oh

35:58.000 --> 36:00.000
I

36:28.000 --> 36:30.000
I

38:58.000 --> 39:00.000
I

39:28.000 --> 39:30.000
I

40:28.000 --> 40:30.000
I

40:58.000 --> 41:00.000
I

41:58.000 --> 42:00.000
I

43:28.000 --> 43:30.000
I

45:58.000 --> 46:26.160
Welcome back to day 3 of Pokemon XP.

46:26.160 --> 46:29.120
I'm Anna here with Rachel, Glitter, and Joshua.

46:29.120 --> 46:32.200
I cannot believe that we're already here at day three.

46:32.200 --> 46:34.760
I don't want to think about it.

46:34.760 --> 46:36.680
We've been talking about summer camp syndrome,

46:36.680 --> 46:38.640
that we feel like we just caught here.

46:38.640 --> 46:39.640
We want to keep playing.

46:39.640 --> 46:40.640
I don't want to go home.

46:40.640 --> 46:41.480
I don't want to go home.

46:41.480 --> 46:42.160
But that's OK.

46:42.160 --> 46:44.560
We have lots of stuff to do today, at least,

46:44.560 --> 46:45.800
just to look forward to.

46:45.800 --> 46:48.520
If you're just joining us, welcome to Pokemon XP.

46:48.520 --> 46:51.880
We're celebrating Pokemon across all areas

46:51.880 --> 46:52.960
of the community.

46:52.960 --> 46:55.080
And our job here is to bring you everything

46:55.080 --> 46:58.600
we can from Pokemon XP straight to your screen.

46:58.600 --> 47:00.680
So that means we have all sorts of videos

47:00.680 --> 47:02.400
where we've gone and checked out some of the boosts

47:02.400 --> 47:04.240
and things that are going on on the floor.

47:04.240 --> 47:06.200
We have interviews with people who are here

47:06.200 --> 47:07.920
and also on this channel,

47:07.920 --> 47:09.580
you're going to be seeing a lot of the panels

47:09.580 --> 47:11.640
that are being presented at Pokemon XP.

47:11.640 --> 47:15.160
So let's take a look at what we have in store today

47:15.160 --> 47:16.600
from our panels.

47:16.600 --> 47:19.080
We have License to Thrill coming up first,

47:19.080 --> 47:21.600
which is visualizing Pokemon beyond the games,

47:21.600 --> 47:25.280
then the Pokemon gaming gauntlet, the cosplay showcase,

47:25.280 --> 47:27.680
they've got to catch them all, game show live,

47:27.680 --> 47:31.840
and closing ceremony tonight, big stuff.

47:31.840 --> 47:34.680
Yeah, we're ending really strong here.

47:34.680 --> 47:36.640
So much great programming here for day three.

47:36.640 --> 47:39.600
I love the game show, I've been watching that all year long.

47:39.600 --> 47:40.440
They've been streaming that.

47:40.440 --> 47:43.080
And the cosplay has been so cool here.

47:43.080 --> 47:44.800
I can't wait to see it all in one place.

47:44.800 --> 47:46.040
Yeah, I'm really interested.

47:46.040 --> 47:47.720
We had the fashion show yesterday,

47:47.720 --> 47:49.360
so I feel like we got a little bit of a taste

47:49.360 --> 47:52.160
of what that can be like watching all these looks go by.

47:52.160 --> 47:53.920
Do you have any cosplay that you're hoping

47:53.920 --> 47:55.520
you're gonna see in the cosplay showcase?

47:55.520 --> 47:58.020
I mean, if we can tie it into what we saw

47:58.020 --> 48:00.160
in our fashion side of things,

48:00.160 --> 48:01.440
I wouldn't mind a Sableye cosplay

48:01.440 --> 48:03.360
after seeing the Sableye fit,

48:03.360 --> 48:04.760
because that was gorgeous.

48:04.760 --> 48:06.280
And Rachel and I are still fighting over it.

48:06.280 --> 48:08.800
Sableye fashion is trending right now, I feel like.

48:08.800 --> 48:09.640
So are it.

48:09.640 --> 48:10.480
Yeah, so are it.

48:10.480 --> 48:11.520
I would love to see the inspiration

48:11.520 --> 48:12.840
coming from these beautiful plushies.

48:12.840 --> 48:14.760
I mean, we got Astro Pikachu,

48:14.760 --> 48:16.600
we got this Charizard with a rocket pack.

48:16.600 --> 48:18.080
So if I see anything out there,

48:18.080 --> 48:20.640
I'm definitely going to give them a big hug and take a picture.

48:20.640 --> 48:23.280
But it's been phenomenal to see the passion that people have

48:23.280 --> 48:24.880
been bringing for their designs.

48:24.880 --> 48:26.600
And it's day three, the final day.

48:26.600 --> 48:28.920
So you've got to bring out all the stops

48:28.920 --> 48:31.160
in order to represent the different Pokemon

48:31.160 --> 48:32.840
and characters in the whole universe.

48:32.840 --> 48:34.680
Now speaking of taking a picture,

48:34.680 --> 48:36.920
we would actually love it if you would take some pictures

48:36.920 --> 48:38.120
and share them with us.

48:38.120 --> 48:40.960
We are watching the hashtag Pokemon XP.

48:40.960 --> 48:44.360
And we have been getting such a fun look at all the things

48:44.360 --> 48:46.160
that are going on from your point of view.

48:46.160 --> 48:48.200
If we started out this week to be like,

48:48.200 --> 48:49.740
hey, we're here to bring you everything,

48:49.740 --> 48:52.200
but you have actually been bringing us things as well.

48:52.200 --> 48:54.680
We've been discovering new things going on at Pokemon XP.

48:54.680 --> 48:57.800
So please take a picture, use the hashtag Pokemon XP,

48:57.800 --> 49:00.280
send us a post so that we can see what you're up to.

49:00.280 --> 49:02.560
And I feel like cosplay would be a great thing

49:02.560 --> 49:04.720
if you meet a cool cosplayer to take a picture with,

49:04.720 --> 49:05.980
ask them their permission,

49:05.980 --> 49:07.760
and then take a picture with them, post it with that

49:07.760 --> 49:09.840
hashtag, we would love to see some previews maybe

49:09.840 --> 49:11.120
of what's happening in the showcase.

49:11.120 --> 49:13.040
Absolutely, 100%.

49:13.040 --> 49:14.720
Yeah, give me all the photos.

49:14.720 --> 49:17.080
What else is going on today that you guys are looking forward to?

49:17.080 --> 49:18.120
Anything in particular?

49:19.620 --> 49:21.620
I know we're all looking forward to the closing ceremony.

49:21.620 --> 49:22.820
I know that's one of the big ones.

49:22.820 --> 49:28.120
We want to kind of see the entire weekend have the final culmination

49:28.120 --> 49:32.120
of all of the hard work and effort and just fun and joy.

49:32.120 --> 49:34.620
And like all of the positive things that have happened all this weekend.

49:34.620 --> 49:38.620
Yeah, to a conclusion, I'm wondering if somebody has never seen

49:38.620 --> 49:42.320
the closing ceremony for Pokemon Worlds previously and now World and Pokemon

49:42.320 --> 49:49.840
Pokemon XP. It has become such a spectacle. I was just explaining to someone you know when I first started hosting worlds 10 years ago

49:50.000 --> 49:51.860
It was it was exciting

49:51.860 --> 49:54.300
We had a video that kind of recap the week and we're like oh

49:54.300 --> 49:57.680
This was so nice and then mystery shihara would come and give us announcements

49:57.680 --> 50:01.780
And it was a so hype and then they would announce usually the location of the next world and

50:02.360 --> 50:04.660
that still happens all of that still happens and

50:05.440 --> 50:09.640
Now dancing and music and spectacle and there were fireworks

50:09.640 --> 50:11.940
and there was an LED floor and an LED screen.

50:11.940 --> 50:15.400
Like there was so much last year in the arena in Anaheim.

50:15.400 --> 50:17.600
And now we're in Chase Arena.

50:17.600 --> 50:19.440
I feel like we're in for such a treat.

50:19.440 --> 50:20.480
It's going to be big.

50:20.480 --> 50:21.240
It's going to be big.

50:21.240 --> 50:23.080
So they've been able to showcase a number of things

50:23.080 --> 50:25.120
going on right now, but a lot of people are here,

50:25.120 --> 50:28.380
especially to get maybe one or two pieces of merch

50:28.380 --> 50:30.620
that they've been waiting to get for day three.

50:30.620 --> 50:32.080
For me, I'm really excited to see this panel

50:32.080 --> 50:33.760
a little bit later today licensed to Thrill,

50:33.760 --> 50:35.220
especially for a lot of creative folks

50:35.220 --> 50:37.420
that want to be involved in the world of Pokemon.

50:37.420 --> 50:41.820
and maybe they have a dream or an idea and they're able to collaborate with Pokemon

50:41.820 --> 50:45.020
and then the dream comes true. We got to interview a lot of people yesterday about that,

50:45.020 --> 50:49.100
especially with Santa Cruz. We're going to see that interview a little bit later today.

50:49.740 --> 50:55.420
But also talking to Bear Walker yesterday, what a treat that was to see his boards in person

50:55.420 --> 50:59.900
and to really understand the layout of what it takes. I think he said it was like nine layers

50:59.900 --> 51:04.460
of maple wood and then shaves it down to seven. Just to know the woodworking,

51:04.460 --> 51:08.780
the collaborative design and the deceit of the finished product was something really special yesterday.

51:08.780 --> 51:12.620
That was a really cool story speaking of, you know, we're going to see this panel about bringing

51:12.620 --> 51:18.300
Pokemon into other arenas, one of them being a skateboard. The story that Bear told us was that

51:18.300 --> 51:22.940
he was like, I have loved Pokemon so long, I was making these boards, I made one for Pokemon,

51:22.940 --> 51:27.340
and I found them at an event, and I gave it to them as a gift, and I said, please, I would

51:27.340 --> 51:31.660
love to make these with you. And ultimately, that was what started the whole thing. So

51:31.660 --> 51:38.020
That is kind of inspiring as we watch this panel to be like my love for Pokemon combined

51:38.020 --> 51:40.980
with my artistry could become something even bigger than myself.

51:40.980 --> 51:44.780
Yeah, that sounds a little bit like what Toasty Marshmallow was talking about as one of our

51:44.780 --> 51:49.580
singers and it sounds a little bit like what you're talking about with the ending ceremonies.

51:49.580 --> 51:53.500
It's just bigger and growing more and more people who have these amazing skills are

51:53.500 --> 51:55.660
finding Pokemon, bringing them in.

51:55.660 --> 52:00.740
That's how we got to a 50,000 person event this weekend and I think there's plenty

52:00.740 --> 52:03.940
room and Pokemon to keep growing so anyone out there who's been watching

52:03.940 --> 52:07.420
have been inspired by things you've seen or perhaps things you haven't seen

52:07.420 --> 52:11.940
that you would love to add to Pokemon hit us up on the Pokemon XP hashtag we

52:11.940 --> 52:15.260
love to get a preview of it here but over the years it's just going to keep

52:15.260 --> 52:19.380
growing and I cannot wait to see what this becomes next year and onward we

52:19.380 --> 52:22.660
do have that panel coming up soon but we are joined by some new friends here

52:22.660 --> 52:27.820
on the desk we have shown you our Pikachu friends here but we we have

52:27.820 --> 52:32.020
some new friends. We've got our Charizard, and I don't know if you have seen this, but

52:32.020 --> 52:38.420
we have a rocket boosted Charizard with goggles so that the wind doesn't get in his delicate

52:38.420 --> 52:39.420
little eyes.

52:39.420 --> 52:40.420
They're crucial.

52:40.420 --> 52:41.420
I know, right?

52:41.420 --> 52:42.420
His wings have been flapping in the wind. It's so fresh.

52:42.420 --> 52:48.140
I know. And there, I think you can kind of pose him a little bit. Picking this up is

52:48.140 --> 52:51.140
very satisfying. I didn't kind of expect that. I'm really enjoying that. What do

52:51.140 --> 52:52.140
you have over there?

52:52.140 --> 52:57.340
This is currently, I believe, with a backpack or some luggage at the back. So this is

52:57.340 --> 53:01.060
going to be me when I check all these different bags after I've taken this huge haul of merchandise

53:01.060 --> 53:04.700
here from Pokemon. So ready to go, ready to travel, and also a little tip of the hat as

53:04.700 --> 53:05.700
well.

53:05.700 --> 53:06.700
So, seeing a little, hey, how you doing?

53:06.700 --> 53:07.700
What a dandy little hat.

53:07.700 --> 53:08.700
It's beautiful.

53:08.700 --> 53:10.660
So much personality in that tiny plush.

53:10.660 --> 53:16.600
Yeah. I love the way they've interpreted this year in San Francisco. There's a lot

53:16.600 --> 53:20.100
of themes happening here, you know, and they all kind of feel like they go together

53:20.100 --> 53:21.100
in a really fun way.

53:21.100 --> 53:24.300
Do you guys have a favorite of the World's Exclusive Plushes?

53:24.300 --> 53:25.300
Besides Astro.

53:25.300 --> 53:26.300
Yeah.

53:26.300 --> 53:30.300
Oh, man, and besides the Charizard...

53:30.300 --> 53:32.300
I don't have a favorite chest.

53:32.300 --> 53:35.300
This one is my favorite. I'll say it. I'll say it out loud.

53:35.300 --> 53:38.300
I'll say it with my chest. That was my favorite bias.

53:38.300 --> 53:41.300
Also, this is kind of the Pokemon XP mascot.

53:41.300 --> 53:43.300
So I think that we have a special connection to that.

53:43.300 --> 53:46.300
I think there's one element, though, and maybe we can't take it home,

53:46.300 --> 53:49.300
but we'll try. At least, Glitter and I maybe will divide and conquer.

53:49.300 --> 53:53.300
Is the Reqweza giant LEGO piece that we're going to be tracking at the end of the day today?

53:53.300 --> 53:55.300
I have more than enough space in my bag for that.

53:55.300 --> 54:00.400
Call me to I want to see you take that home. I I have this vision of you on the plane with it like in the aisle

54:06.340 --> 54:08.980
Let's call the airline, you know, I'm sure it's totally right

54:09.580 --> 54:14.420
They can fly along outside the plane. I'll make it. Oh, that's actually so true

54:15.660 --> 54:22.620
Also speaking of things that you can find here at Pokemon XP. I think you finally got your hands on some Lego last night

54:22.620 --> 54:23.620
I did it, right?

54:23.620 --> 54:24.620
What'd you get?

54:24.620 --> 54:26.820
I was finally able to get the trophy from the LEGO booth.

54:26.820 --> 54:30.620
It's the little pokeball trophy, so if you guys haven't stopped by the LEGO booth, make

54:30.620 --> 54:34.260
sure you do that, because it's absolutely worth taking the time to not only go through

54:34.260 --> 54:39.820
the story, experience the smart play bricks, which are just absolutely unlike anything

54:39.820 --> 54:40.820
you've ever played before.

54:40.820 --> 54:44.340
But then you also get the little trophy at the end of it, and I was so excited.

54:44.340 --> 54:47.860
You could shake Pikachu after a while, and he gets disoriented, I believe.

54:47.860 --> 54:49.580
That was part of the experience.

54:49.580 --> 54:50.980
He is a fully interactive.

54:50.980 --> 54:51.980
That's insane.

54:51.980 --> 54:53.980
And you went straight to shaking them

54:55.180 --> 54:57.980
Okay, I was like let me see if it does and it works a total

54:57.980 --> 55:03.580
First thing they say when they hand you a Pikachu don't shake it. Don't shake the Pikachu. I'm sorry

55:03.580 --> 55:06.480
I'm sorry Pikachu. Okay. I'm sure it served a function with Lego

55:07.980 --> 55:15.660
And Rachel I saw a really great photo that you took last night. Did you I did I did remind me what this photo

55:16.060 --> 55:21.180
Behind a certain desk. I had a certain booth. I think it's it's coming back to me now

55:21.180 --> 55:28.540
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My desk. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I saw that you took a photo in your office last night

55:28.540 --> 55:33.140
A lot of people in my office down there. Yeah, a lot of people running through the Team Rocket headquarters over at the

55:33.540 --> 55:36.900
TCG pocket booth, but that's fine. We're trying to get you on board

55:36.900 --> 55:40.740
I hope you all have downloaded pocket by the way. Absolutely. I accepted my trade requests

55:41.300 --> 55:45.100
Very good. Very good. It was actually the first thing I did this morning. I opened my eyes

55:45.100 --> 55:51.100
I'm like, open a pack and I'll tell you, my phone alarm goes off, I'll sleep through that,

55:51.100 --> 55:52.100
but I hear that.

55:52.100 --> 55:53.100
I'm like, I gotta pack.

55:53.100 --> 55:54.100
I gotta get it.

55:54.100 --> 55:56.100
You should rise straight up.

55:56.100 --> 55:57.100
Yeah.

55:57.100 --> 56:01.100
And Joshua, I know that you got to talk a lot to Jimmy Page yesterday.

56:01.100 --> 56:03.100
We saw the fashion show yesterday.

56:03.100 --> 56:05.100
Any luck getting your hands on that new jacket yet?

56:05.100 --> 56:06.100
Not yet.

56:06.100 --> 56:09.100
And I'm thinking of what type of costume changes am I going to have to do in

56:09.100 --> 56:12.100
order to sneak my way through the Pokemon Center to pick one of those up.

56:12.100 --> 56:14.860
And I'm willing to trade my jacket for somebody else's jacket

56:14.860 --> 56:15.860
to see if I can get through it.

56:15.860 --> 56:20.460
But no, I will see who I can talk to to maybe get my hands

56:20.460 --> 56:23.380
on a double XL size Mewtwo jacket because that's

56:23.380 --> 56:24.380
my favorite piece.

56:24.380 --> 56:26.500
And when I, Francis Dominic, who

56:26.500 --> 56:28.180
was the model for the fashion show last night,

56:28.180 --> 56:30.580
allowed me to try it on and I took some pictures.

56:30.580 --> 56:33.420
And the compliments that were flowing out of Jimmy Paul

56:33.420 --> 56:36.140
and Francis Dominic were like, oh my gosh, double XL.

56:36.140 --> 56:37.100
Fit you perfectly.

56:37.100 --> 56:38.140
I'm like, OK, I'm sold.

56:38.140 --> 56:39.580
I definitely need to get one.

56:39.580 --> 56:41.900
So Pokemon, help me out.

56:41.900 --> 56:44.900
If not, there's always the future, or maybe next year, but...

56:44.900 --> 56:47.900
I know who would always be able to get the jacket.

56:47.900 --> 56:49.900
So, the Lapras mascot.

56:49.900 --> 56:50.900
So, if we could...

56:50.900 --> 56:51.900
Okay.

56:51.900 --> 56:55.900
I'm pretty sure I can catch up to Lapras and ask, so I'll do my best.

56:55.900 --> 56:59.900
I hope that you saw some of the parade that was happening here on Request the Road,

56:59.900 --> 57:01.900
because we had all the mascots out,

57:01.900 --> 57:02.900
and we've seen...

57:02.900 --> 57:04.900
Lapras actually shares our dressing rooms.

57:04.900 --> 57:05.900
Yes.

57:05.900 --> 57:06.900
No big deal.

57:06.900 --> 57:08.900
We're down the hall from a celebrity.

57:08.900 --> 57:10.900
That's what we're doing when we're not on the desk.

57:10.900 --> 57:15.860
to get an autograph. Yeah, I'm trying to be cool about Lapras. Oh, just staying out

57:15.860 --> 57:22.980
of Lapras's way, you know. But Lapras aside, there were so many. I think I saw a Psyduck.

57:22.980 --> 57:27.700
I think maybe two. I think I saw a Ralts. Did I see a Ralts? Oh, they made that. Yeah,

57:27.700 --> 57:32.740
it was a slow poke. We saw a Lunchlax. There was a Geodude. There was a Lunchlax.

57:32.740 --> 57:37.420
There was a Dragonite. Oh, the Geodude. I forgot. There was a Geodiggs. Yeah.

57:37.420 --> 57:40.420
So if you missed that, I'm sure that they're probably going to do it again today. Do

57:40.420 --> 57:44.460
do stay tuned to this channel. Also, there are plenty of reasons to stay tuned to this

57:44.460 --> 57:48.700
channel. Plenty of drops, plenty of codes. We've dropped them before. You can find them.

57:48.700 --> 57:52.620
I won't bore you with them. You've probably gotten them already, but do stay tuned for

57:52.620 --> 57:57.020
all of that. And for our adventures, are there any videos that we know are coming up

57:57.020 --> 57:58.700
that you guys are looking forward to them seeing?

57:58.700 --> 58:02.700
Yes. Okay, we could talk about the Yerba Buena Guardians a little bit. Obviously, one

58:02.700 --> 58:07.660
of the other outdoor areas for Pokemon XP, and I got to kind of do a tour of

58:07.660 --> 58:09.920
everything going on over there and that was just a blast.

58:09.920 --> 58:12.740
Ravensburger, there is a 50,000 piece puzzle

58:12.740 --> 58:14.460
that's going on at this event right now

58:14.460 --> 58:15.700
and so we got to check out that booth.

58:15.700 --> 58:16.940
I'm super excited for that one.

58:16.940 --> 58:19.340
And then also talking to some of the Santa Cruz guys,

58:19.340 --> 58:22.300
some skateboards that we see some great art

58:22.300 --> 58:23.980
and a number of other interviews I'm very excited about.

58:23.980 --> 58:26.180
Plus we get to talk to a lot of people that are here

58:26.180 --> 58:28.780
and of course we ask them, what's their favorite Pokemon?

58:28.780 --> 58:30.460
Well, hopefully we'll have a variety of different answers

58:30.460 --> 58:33.100
as we've continued that trend here at the desk.

58:33.100 --> 58:35.940
Yeah, so far we have not had a single person

58:35.940 --> 58:38.460
at this desk with a duplicate favorite Pokemon.

58:38.460 --> 58:39.980
And I know that can't last forever.

58:39.980 --> 58:41.180
It's got to happen today, right?

58:41.180 --> 58:41.980
It has to.

58:41.980 --> 58:42.540
Maybe.

58:42.540 --> 58:44.860
But I love what it represents, which

58:44.860 --> 58:47.540
is that there is love for every single Pokemon out there.

58:47.540 --> 58:49.300
Rachel, any last before we throw to the panel,

58:49.300 --> 58:51.780
any last shoutouts of things people should watch for today?

58:51.780 --> 58:53.780
I sure hope we get to go to the TCG pocket booth.

58:53.780 --> 58:55.420
Had a great time out there.

58:55.420 --> 58:56.380
All right, great.

58:56.380 --> 58:58.300
We are going to watch the license

58:58.300 --> 59:01.020
to thrill visualizing Pokemon beyond the games

59:01.020 --> 59:02.300
panel, so don't go anywhere.

59:02.300 --> 59:03.300
It'll be right now.

59:03.300 --> 59:05.300
I

01:01:03.300 --> 01:01:30.460
All right.

01:01:30.460 --> 01:01:32.180
Welcome back.

01:01:32.180 --> 01:01:33.180
Good morning.

01:01:33.180 --> 01:01:38.980
Francisco, we are officially starting our third day of the Pokemon XP.

01:01:38.980 --> 01:01:43.260
Thank you all for joining us.

01:01:43.260 --> 01:01:47.300
We're very excited for our first panel of the day.

01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:52.260
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make some of our amazing collectibles?

01:01:52.260 --> 01:01:57.300
Join us as some of our licensing partners come to the Pokemon XP stage and give us

01:01:57.300 --> 01:01:59.860
a peek into their world.

01:01:59.860 --> 01:02:03.100
Let's get ready, get the crowd going, get the noise going!

01:02:03.100 --> 01:02:05.100
for our first pillow of the day.

01:02:05.100 --> 01:02:19.100
I'm just going out of here and go ahead and sit down.

01:02:19.100 --> 01:02:20.100
Hey.

01:02:20.100 --> 01:02:25.100
Are they coming?

01:02:25.100 --> 01:02:30.100
Come on now.

01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:32.100
Thank you for joining me.

01:02:32.100 --> 01:02:34.100
Come on now.

01:02:34.100 --> 01:02:36.100
All right.

01:02:36.100 --> 01:02:38.100
Good morning, everybody.

01:02:38.100 --> 01:02:40.100
Welcome to the Pokemon

01:02:40.100 --> 01:02:42.100
Licensing panel.

01:02:42.100 --> 01:02:44.100
My name is, I'm your host, Amy

01:02:44.100 --> 01:02:46.100
Sackleben, and today we're joined by

01:02:46.100 --> 01:02:48.100
official partners that create

01:02:48.100 --> 01:02:50.100
Pokemon's products for fans

01:02:50.100 --> 01:02:52.100
around the world.

01:02:52.100 --> 01:02:54.100
First we have from

01:02:54.100 --> 01:02:56.100
Robinsburger, we've got Nate

01:02:56.100 --> 01:02:58.100
Wiltz, and we have

01:02:58.100 --> 01:03:05.600
we have from Robinsburger, we've got Nate Wilton, who's been with Robinsburger on the 2D puzzle team for over six and a half years.

01:03:05.600 --> 01:03:13.600
And then we have from Santa Cruz, we've got Tyler Emanuel, who's the art director for Santa Cruz Skateboards.

01:03:13.600 --> 01:03:24.100
He helped lead a team of artists and designers on their latest skateboard and apparel line in collaboration with Pokemon and the Pokemon TCG Creative Design Team.

01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:31.100
And then we have Doug Wolfile, who is a manager on the Pokemon TCG Creative Design Team.

01:03:31.100 --> 01:03:35.100
They're responsible for the Pokemon TCG packaging designs,

01:03:35.100 --> 01:03:40.100
and his team collaborates Santa Cruz on the upcoming Mystery Decks.

01:03:40.100 --> 01:03:44.100
And then finally, we have from SciShow Collectibles Julian Anzalone.

01:03:44.100 --> 01:03:52.100
Julian is a multimedia production assistant who has played a key role in producing the video content

01:03:52.100 --> 01:03:56.100
content for all of the Pokemon statues created by sideshow.

01:03:56.100 --> 01:04:00.100
So everybody, let's talk a little bit of how did your

01:04:00.100 --> 01:04:03.100
partnership with pokemon begin?

01:04:03.100 --> 01:04:07.100
So robinsburger has been a puzzle partner with pokemon for

01:04:07.100 --> 01:04:12.100
several years now. And celebration journey of the

01:04:12.100 --> 01:04:16.100
40,000 pieces puzzles started. There were talks around i believe it was

01:04:16.100 --> 01:04:21.100
2022 when it was hey, we want to do something really big for pokemon.

01:04:21.100 --> 01:04:25.240
for Pokemon. And what that usually means is a 40,000

01:04:25.240 --> 01:04:30.160
320 piece puzzle. So my specific involvement began

01:04:30.160 --> 01:04:35.040
in around 2023, because as soon as I heard there was

01:04:35.040 --> 01:04:38.720
going to be a 40,000 320 piece puzzle, I said, I'm in.

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:45.000
Like put me in coach, I'm there. So it was around 2023.

01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:47.720
Yeah, we started preparing concepts, just ideas, nothing

01:04:47.720 --> 01:04:52.520
on paper yet, and then by 2024, we're sharing our first concepts.

01:04:52.520 --> 01:04:53.920
Cool.

01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:58.680
So Robinsburger just released the world's largest Pokemon puzzle.

01:04:58.680 --> 01:05:01.800
What was the process of bringing that to life?

01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:07.240
These projects always start as, what can we do?

01:05:07.240 --> 01:05:13.080
That probably took the longest to solidify since there are a lot of folks involved

01:05:13.080 --> 01:05:17.880
and given the scale of this project and what it represents for both brands.

01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:25.600
So a lot of ideas flying around of what kind of story are we trying to tell?

01:05:26.520 --> 01:05:28.160
What Pokemon are we going to include?

01:05:28.160 --> 01:05:29.320
I mean, so many things.

01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:33.240
And we eventually we reached a direction everyone was very happy with.

01:05:34.520 --> 01:05:38.480
From a development standpoint, it really followed a similar structure

01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:45.780
to how a lot of jigsaw puzzles are developed where you have this idea, okay, so we knew

01:05:45.780 --> 01:05:52.600
there was going to be the story with Eevee and Pikachu, and then it starts with sketches

01:05:52.600 --> 01:05:58.520
of what kind of environments are they going to be in, rough drafts, then you, in some

01:05:58.520 --> 01:06:02.600
instances, go to color, in some instances, you go back to a sketch, so it's pretty

01:06:02.600 --> 01:06:07.400
cyclical in that regard where you kind of have to go through revisions.

01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:09.480
you might jump ahead with one of them,

01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:12.400
because in the context of Celebration Journey,

01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.480
it's 10 4,000 piece panels, right?

01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:19.680
So you're kind of treating it as 10 separate puzzles.

01:06:19.680 --> 01:06:23.200
So one of them might move ahead, one of them

01:06:23.200 --> 01:06:25.200
might move a little bit back.

01:06:25.200 --> 01:06:28.480
It's almost like there was kind of a race a little bit

01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:32.400
of which one was going to reach the finish line first.

01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:34.400
So it's all part of the process, though,

01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:38.880
And really those revisions are because we wanted it to be

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:41.200
the best it can possibly be.

01:06:41.200 --> 01:06:46.280
So with so many to choose from, how do you select which

01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:48.920
Pokemon get their own puzzle?

01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:56.080
So I took a similar approach to how I, when I first started

01:06:56.080 --> 01:07:00.200
at Ravensburger, was developing original puzzles, which

01:07:00.200 --> 01:07:02.080
that's just an internal way to separate when we're

01:07:02.080 --> 01:07:05.440
working on a puzzle with giraffes versus giraffe or eggs,

01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:09.400
we, you look at, okay, here's the environment,

01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:13.000
what Pokemon makes sense to be there?

01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:17.880
So we know we had Pikachu and Eevee

01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:21.860
and the Eevee evolutions with a recurring Pokemon

01:07:21.860 --> 01:07:24.080
I don't wanna spoil, I hope everyone is able to find it

01:07:24.080 --> 01:07:27.080
if you look at our booth.

01:07:27.080 --> 01:07:31.740
So you have that as the basis for the environment.

01:07:31.740 --> 01:07:34.820
So what Pokemon are native there then?

01:07:34.820 --> 01:07:39.220
So we actually first started with it being more type-based.

01:07:39.220 --> 01:07:42.700
So like the panel with Vaporeon, where we first

01:07:42.700 --> 01:07:45.260
see Vaporeon, it was really focused on water types.

01:07:45.260 --> 01:07:46.660
And then it kind of evolved to, OK,

01:07:46.660 --> 01:07:53.220
we can really include a very diverse range of Pokemon

01:07:53.220 --> 01:07:54.740
on each panel.

01:07:54.740 --> 01:07:59.620
So it quickly evolved into being more habitat-based.

01:07:59.620 --> 01:08:03.700
We wanted to make sure it was grounded in Pokémon reality.

01:08:03.700 --> 01:08:06.300
So I had this document I had put together

01:08:06.300 --> 01:08:10.900
that had a list of the Pokémon for each panel.

01:08:10.900 --> 01:08:13.460
I had the things like the Pokémon's type

01:08:13.460 --> 01:08:15.940
and what region they were from just to make sure

01:08:15.940 --> 01:08:18.740
it wasn't too heavy for one particular region,

01:08:18.740 --> 01:08:21.620
like, for example, Kanto.

01:08:21.620 --> 01:08:25.500
So I think finding that right mix of Pokémon

01:08:25.500 --> 01:08:27.260
was a puzzle all on its own.

01:08:27.260 --> 01:08:30.540
but eventually the picture became together.

01:08:30.540 --> 01:08:34.580
So what's one thing about designing puzzles

01:08:34.580 --> 01:08:36.020
that you wish people knew?

01:08:37.820 --> 01:08:38.800
This is a good question.

01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:42.620
Puzzles have their own rules for composition.

01:08:42.620 --> 01:08:45.340
Because you can really, there's almost like a dial

01:08:45.340 --> 01:08:47.660
you can turn where you can say,

01:08:47.660 --> 01:08:49.980
I would like the puzzle to be this kind of experience

01:08:49.980 --> 01:08:51.940
versus this kind of experience.

01:08:51.940 --> 01:08:54.180
One more that's relaxing and chill

01:08:54.180 --> 01:08:55.340
versus more challenging.

01:08:55.340 --> 01:08:59.020
And we really wanted to make sure that this was more

01:08:59.020 --> 01:09:01.860
on the chill, relaxing side of puzzling.

01:09:01.860 --> 01:09:06.620
So it's needing a lot, a lot, and I cannot emphasize this

01:09:06.620 --> 01:09:09.100
enough, a lot of detail into the puzzle.

01:09:09.100 --> 01:09:13.460
Because as soon as you have a really similar background

01:09:13.460 --> 01:09:17.180
or pattern, that's what leads to a frustrating puzzle

01:09:17.180 --> 01:09:17.660
experience.

01:09:17.660 --> 01:09:19.660
And we didn't want to have that with this.

01:09:19.660 --> 01:09:24.220
Because you have to think, OK.

01:09:24.220 --> 01:09:26.580
This image and in the case of Celebration Journey,

01:09:26.580 --> 01:09:31.980
each panel is divided into 4,000 pieces, no instructions.

01:09:31.980 --> 01:09:34.940
So you have to make sure that experience is something

01:09:34.940 --> 01:09:39.900
that people can work through, look for clues in each piece.

01:09:39.900 --> 01:09:43.380
I hope that helps people who aren't as familiar with

01:09:43.380 --> 01:09:46.500
Jake's poses of what should you look for if you're

01:09:46.500 --> 01:09:48.900
wanting to get into puzzling.

01:09:48.900 --> 01:09:52.860
So I use this example a lot, a nice pristine beach

01:09:52.860 --> 01:09:54.820
with a clear blue sky.

01:09:54.820 --> 01:09:56.660
Good luck.

01:09:56.660 --> 01:10:00.420
So with that in mind, I'm just really grateful the folks

01:10:00.420 --> 01:10:03.260
at the Pokemon Company International,

01:10:03.260 --> 01:10:07.980
they were so willing to get as many Pokemon as we did

01:10:07.980 --> 01:10:10.540
in each panel to really help fill the composition.

01:10:10.540 --> 01:10:12.460
And I think that's what was exciting to see

01:10:12.460 --> 01:10:15.140
is as each panel comes together, you

01:10:15.140 --> 01:10:19.100
can see people are solving and looking for the Pokemon

01:10:19.100 --> 01:10:20.380
to puzzle first.

01:10:20.380 --> 01:10:22.660
And that's what we're going for.

01:10:22.660 --> 01:10:24.820
So what has surprised you the most

01:10:24.820 --> 01:10:27.420
about working with the Pokémon brand?

01:10:27.420 --> 01:10:33.140
My entire sense of scaling with Pokémon has been way off.

01:10:33.140 --> 01:10:36.460
Way off for probably my whole life.

01:10:36.460 --> 01:10:40.500
So this celebration journey really

01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:44.500
put into perspective how big some of these Pokémon

01:10:44.500 --> 01:10:47.580
are, especially when compared with others.

01:10:47.580 --> 01:10:53.580
So each panel, the Pokemon, are scaled to one another.

01:10:53.580 --> 01:10:55.580
And so you have to think you have these layers.

01:10:55.580 --> 01:10:57.580
You have the foreground, background, and background.

01:10:57.580 --> 01:11:00.420
And it's really important to make sure, OK, they all

01:11:00.420 --> 01:11:01.780
are scaled to each other.

01:11:01.780 --> 01:11:04.700
Because fans will know.

01:11:04.700 --> 01:11:09.100
So I don't think that level of scrutiny surprised me.

01:11:09.100 --> 01:11:12.740
I think it was, if anything, it reassured me,

01:11:12.740 --> 01:11:15.440
the high level of standards Pokemon

01:11:15.440 --> 01:11:17.300
has with these kind of products.

01:11:17.300 --> 01:11:20.300
Let's talk about Santa Cruz a little bit.

01:11:20.300 --> 01:11:23.300
Tell us how did the collab come to fruition?

01:11:23.300 --> 01:11:27.300
Thanks, Amy. On the Santa Cruz side, we were in communication

01:11:27.300 --> 01:11:32.300
With pokemon soon after our first collab in 2023.

01:11:32.300 --> 01:11:36.300
After that release there was a unanimous demand for round two

01:11:36.300 --> 01:11:39.300
And we all just seem committed to making that happen.

01:11:39.300 --> 01:11:43.300
Really helping pokemon celebrate 30 years was the driving force behind.

01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:46.300
Wanted to come on board and get involved.

01:11:46.300 --> 01:11:51.300
So what then was the process of working with the Pokemon TCG team?

01:11:51.300 --> 01:11:58.300
So I would consider this project to be one of the most collaborative projects I can imagine for two brands to work together on.

01:11:58.300 --> 01:12:03.300
We held consistent group meetings where we would all bring ideas and feedback.

01:12:03.300 --> 01:12:10.300
And we even got to the point of passing designs back and forth and as we all helped shape the product line together.

01:12:10.300 --> 01:12:13.300
Yeah, I think Tyler really summed it up.

01:12:13.300 --> 01:12:16.380
It was very, very collaborative.

01:12:16.380 --> 01:12:19.380
Folks on both teams were constantly on Zoom calls,

01:12:19.380 --> 01:12:22.580
sharing concepts, bouncing ideas back and forth,

01:12:22.580 --> 01:12:24.900
really brainstorming things together.

01:12:24.900 --> 01:12:26.860
It got to the point where we eventually decided

01:12:26.860 --> 01:12:28.580
that to keep things moving forward,

01:12:28.580 --> 01:12:31.580
we needed to get both teams together in a room

01:12:31.580 --> 01:12:32.900
and actually share a space

01:12:32.900 --> 01:12:35.900
so we could shoot things back and forth super fast.

01:12:35.900 --> 01:12:37.980
So we ended up meeting for a couple of days

01:12:37.980 --> 01:12:40.220
down at the Santa Cruz offices

01:12:40.220 --> 01:12:42.580
and really locked in what ended up being

01:12:42.580 --> 01:12:47.020
the visual storytelling elements of the different 30 decks.

01:12:47.020 --> 01:12:50.440
So obviously this is your second mystery deck

01:12:50.440 --> 01:12:52.220
in collaboration with Santa Cruz.

01:12:52.220 --> 01:12:55.420
So how did you approach making this partnership

01:12:55.420 --> 01:12:58.740
even more exciting and impactful than the first one?

01:12:58.740 --> 01:13:01.020
Right, well, even with the unbelievable success

01:13:01.020 --> 01:13:02.900
of the first round, we knew we wanted to have

01:13:02.900 --> 01:13:05.300
a new design approach for this next round.

01:13:06.180 --> 01:13:08.820
So we started hearing hands early on

01:13:08.820 --> 01:13:11.700
that there was potential for some unprecedented

01:13:11.700 --> 01:13:15.960
opportunities around some of the artwork availability.

01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:18.260
And then Shayna got to break the news to us

01:13:18.260 --> 01:13:20.100
that we were gonna be able to leverage

01:13:20.100 --> 01:13:23.300
some of the iconic Pokemon TCG artwork this time,

01:13:23.300 --> 01:13:26.540
which was previously unavailable.

01:13:26.540 --> 01:13:29.340
And I know from the Pokemon TCG side,

01:13:29.340 --> 01:13:32.180
we really loved the original designs,

01:13:32.180 --> 01:13:34.180
but one of the things that we wanted to do

01:13:34.180 --> 01:13:36.340
was really create something that was special

01:13:36.340 --> 01:13:39.260
by focusing on what made sense to our fans

01:13:39.260 --> 01:13:41.100
from the TCG aspect.

01:13:41.100 --> 01:13:44.700
So that means not just creating designs

01:13:44.700 --> 01:13:47.020
around popular or beloved cards,

01:13:47.020 --> 01:13:49.420
but really focusing on including things

01:13:49.420 --> 01:13:52.620
that were really popular from a competitive standpoint

01:13:52.620 --> 01:13:54.620
throughout the years, like trying to do something

01:13:54.620 --> 01:13:57.700
that would be super meaningful to collectors,

01:13:57.700 --> 01:13:59.820
as well as players of the card game,

01:13:59.820 --> 01:14:02.220
in addition to fans of Santa Cruz.

01:14:02.220 --> 01:14:04.980
We really tried to emphasize with each deck

01:14:04.980 --> 01:14:07.420
what is unique about each Pokemon

01:14:07.420 --> 01:14:09.300
in that given piece of artwork,

01:14:09.300 --> 01:14:13.140
in that situation, which is a slight change

01:14:13.140 --> 01:14:16.220
from the original co-lab where each deck was kind of following

01:14:16.220 --> 01:14:17.340
a similar design.

01:14:17.340 --> 01:14:20.100
This time around, we tried to do things completely different

01:14:20.100 --> 01:14:22.500
from one to the next to the next to make sure

01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:26.460
that we were speaking to what really matters to each fan

01:14:26.460 --> 01:14:29.220
of each individual Pokemon.

01:14:29.220 --> 01:14:31.700
Doing that, we were able to really honor

01:14:31.700 --> 01:14:35.020
the legacy of both brands in a way that I think turned out

01:14:35.020 --> 01:14:36.340
really, really well.

01:14:36.340 --> 01:14:39.100
The screaming hand logo that you all saw up there earlier

01:14:39.100 --> 01:14:42.340
holding the card. I think it's like a perfect example of how we brought those

01:14:42.340 --> 01:14:48.340
two things together. So what was the selection process and how did the groups

01:14:48.340 --> 01:14:53.500
break out? I mean honestly we really relied on the expertise of the Pokemon

01:14:53.500 --> 01:14:59.260
TCG side but I will say we were very happy with the results. Yeah it's

01:14:59.260 --> 01:15:02.740
kind of hard to describe what the actual selection process was like

01:15:02.740 --> 01:15:07.820
without getting super in depth but really we have some fantastic people at

01:15:07.820 --> 01:15:13.020
TPCI that work on the trading card game from a product development standpoint

01:15:13.020 --> 01:15:17.860
and they spent a lot of time developing a list of characters and cards that were

01:15:17.860 --> 01:15:22.060
really reflective of 30 years of the Pokemon trading card game or sorry

01:15:22.060 --> 01:15:25.700
Pokemon brand as a whole but the trading card game and its entirety

01:15:25.700 --> 01:15:30.580
something that was reflective of what characters people respond to well and

01:15:30.580 --> 01:15:35.180
what cards have mattered during the competitive gameplay throughout the

01:15:35.180 --> 01:15:39.580
years. So it's really about the entire history of the card game. There was a lot

01:15:39.580 --> 01:15:43.540
of back-and-forth internally and with our partners over at Creatures to refine

01:15:43.540 --> 01:15:47.620
that list into something that would really work for a global audience, not

01:15:47.620 --> 01:15:52.980
just folks that that are over here in the States or something. When it came

01:15:52.980 --> 01:15:56.500
time to design the decks though it was easy for us to see where we could

01:15:56.500 --> 01:16:01.300
kind of group some of the designs together to create kind of visual

01:16:01.300 --> 01:16:04.860
language around some of the connections between characters.

01:16:04.860 --> 01:16:09.100
So if you look at the base set starter decks that are up on the screen now, this is a fantastic

01:16:09.100 --> 01:16:14.340
example of how we were able to create visuals that work together across different decks,

01:16:14.340 --> 01:16:17.820
but still emphasize what's unique about each of those different characters.

01:16:17.820 --> 01:16:23.380
If you have a chance, definitely stop by Santa Cruz up top and you can see all the little

01:16:23.380 --> 01:16:27.620
things that we tried to put into the decks that really bring those groupings together

01:16:27.620 --> 01:16:28.620
in a cool way.

01:16:28.620 --> 01:16:29.620
Great, thank you.

01:16:29.620 --> 01:16:32.100
Alright, let's talk a little bit about SciShow Collectibles.

01:16:32.100 --> 01:16:32.980
Of course, of course.

01:16:32.980 --> 01:16:34.820
Julian, what is SciShow Collectibles?

01:16:34.820 --> 01:16:35.860
What is SciShow?

01:16:35.860 --> 01:16:40.100
Well, that's SciShow we like to refer to ourselves as a modern day Renaissance studio.

01:16:40.100 --> 01:16:44.260
We create high-end 3D collectibles across an array of scales and styles,

01:16:44.260 --> 01:16:49.300
from 1.6 which are articulated and poseable to the impressive life-size which are 1 to 1.

01:16:49.300 --> 01:16:53.540
We've been making collectibles from beloved pop culture media for over 30 years now.

01:16:53.540 --> 01:16:57.540
And it is a real honor that we get to work with a Pokemon company international

01:16:57.540 --> 01:17:00.980
and turn their incredible characters into beautifully crafted statues.

01:17:00.980 --> 01:17:05.780
And Amy, I would love to show the audience right now a few photos of the statues that we have at our booth.

01:17:05.780 --> 01:17:06.420
Absolutely.

01:17:07.460 --> 01:17:12.100
Okay, so that is the first statue that we created. That is our life-sized Pikachu.

01:17:12.100 --> 01:17:17.620
And it's just a beautiful representation of such an amazing Pokemon. That a Pokemon that

01:17:17.620 --> 01:17:21.860
everybody knows around the world and that everybody has just like fallen in love with and

01:17:21.860 --> 01:17:28.260
has, you know, just carried the Pokemon like love and to fandom to so many people.

01:17:30.660 --> 01:17:35.620
And that is our second life-sized piece, that is our life-sized Eevee, and my favorite part,

01:17:35.620 --> 01:17:40.980
a little Easter egg about this piece, the base, the flowers, each individual flower

01:17:40.980 --> 01:17:47.540
represents an Eevee evolution. So, and its paw is about to touch a flower, and you can actually

01:17:47.540 --> 01:17:50.820
move one of the flowers into this specific rotation so that like oh you

01:17:50.820 --> 01:17:54.900
would like your EV2 evolve into a Vaporeon or Jolteon or Umbreon and so

01:17:54.900 --> 01:18:00.860
you can put it there. It's really sweet. And that is our first diorama. This is our

01:18:00.860 --> 01:18:05.180
Snorlax diorama. It has 10 unique species of Pokemon and actually two

01:18:05.180 --> 01:18:08.660
evolutions in there. So we have our Munchlax and our Snorlax and then you

01:18:08.660 --> 01:18:11.620
can't see up in the tree. It's our Smovert and our Greedon is right

01:18:11.620 --> 01:18:15.180
there below but such a beautiful piece representing like just the

01:18:15.180 --> 01:18:19.940
environment that you would find like Pokemon in and just in such a cool cozy

01:18:19.940 --> 01:18:24.020
environment with our slowpoke sleeping in the water and their Pikachu and Eevee

01:18:24.020 --> 01:18:26.340
sleeping on top of Snorlax's belly. It's so cute.

01:18:26.340 --> 01:18:28.180
Nice.

01:18:28.180 --> 01:18:35.580
Um, and that is just a full collection shot of the first four statues that we

01:18:35.580 --> 01:18:40.620
had and that we created and you can see also our statue of our Charizard which

01:18:40.620 --> 01:18:44.620
is a beautiful piece, beautiful representation of just the fiery aspect

01:18:44.620 --> 01:18:48.160
of Charizard how just powerful that character can be.

01:18:48.160 --> 01:18:50.480
And as we've seen in the gameplay,

01:18:50.480 --> 01:18:54.040
for across this whole tournament at Pokemon Worlds,

01:18:54.040 --> 01:18:56.640
it's been such an amazing character to see play as well.

01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:58.640
And so we wanted to capture that essence

01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:01.240
from the gameplay or original animation.

01:19:01.240 --> 01:19:02.840
And so yeah, this is the first four

01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:06.080
and we have two more that we debuted today at the show

01:19:06.080 --> 01:19:07.200
and they're at our booth now.

01:19:07.200 --> 01:19:10.600
So, but it's just such an amazing collection of statues

01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:14.060
and beautiful Pokemon characters that we got to show off.

01:19:14.620 --> 01:19:19.420
So, what is such a process for creating the Pokemon Collectible?

01:19:19.420 --> 01:19:25.020
Yeah, so each collectible or each statue is super high-end, super detailed,

01:19:25.020 --> 01:19:29.260
and it takes around 10 to 14 months of development for each project.

01:19:29.260 --> 01:19:34.860
And so our senior concept designer, she illustrates every single piece that you've seen there in

01:19:34.860 --> 01:19:40.460
their photo gallery, and she draws concepts of poses in the base environments.

01:19:40.460 --> 01:19:45.740
And so once we finalize and pick out which Pokemon pose or which base environment that

01:19:45.740 --> 01:19:49.580
we choose and we want to make into a statue, we hand that off to our sculptors and then

01:19:49.580 --> 01:19:51.180
they 3D sculpt that.

01:19:51.180 --> 01:19:56.900
We take those digital files, we bring them over to our 3D printers, 3D print the pieces,

01:19:56.900 --> 01:20:00.500
have them cleaned up in primes, ready for the painters, and now it's the painter's

01:20:00.500 --> 01:20:04.500
job to bring the vibrancy of the Pokemon world to life.

01:20:04.500 --> 01:20:08.140
And so that process takes also around a month or two.

01:20:08.140 --> 01:20:13.040
And at each step we work closely with the Pokemon team to ensure that every detail is

01:20:13.040 --> 01:20:15.200
spot on and it's perfect.

01:20:15.200 --> 01:20:20.000
And so as you can see in the photos, like, you get an amazing Pokemon statue.

01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:21.000
Yeah.

01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:27.400
So can you share some insights on how you take a flat 2D animated asset and then turn

01:20:27.400 --> 01:20:29.360
it into a three-dimensional sculpture?

01:20:29.360 --> 01:20:30.360
Yeah.

01:20:30.360 --> 01:20:33.600
So with the guidance of the Pokemon team, our senior concept designer, she takes

01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:38.400
the references they provide and combines it with her own knowledge because she's such

01:20:38.400 --> 01:20:44.640
an avid fan of Pokemon for years and so she knows what a lot of these Pokemon would be

01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:49.200
like the environments they live in or their types of course and so she takes all that

01:20:49.200 --> 01:20:55.200
and what she does is she captures an emotion and story just in this still statue and it's

01:20:55.200 --> 01:20:59.640
really really impressive and so but the real challenge is preserving that emotion

01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:03.400
and story into the final three-dimensional statue.

01:21:03.400 --> 01:21:06.800
And so for us as Saito, it's really making sure

01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:09.120
that when you see the final statue, when the collector,

01:21:09.120 --> 01:21:11.080
when the fan sees the final statue,

01:21:11.080 --> 01:21:14.440
that the character still evokes the feeling and narrative

01:21:14.440 --> 01:21:16.400
that is seen in the game's original animation.

01:21:16.400 --> 01:21:17.840
OK.

01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:21.120
So with so many Pokemon regions, items,

01:21:21.120 --> 01:21:24.600
and the Pokemon themselves, how do you decide what items

01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:25.640
to create?

01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:26.000
It is.

01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:26.720
It's tough.

01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:28.880
It's so tough.

01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.820
But first, it's all a part of the collaboration

01:21:31.820 --> 01:21:32.840
with the Pokemon team.

01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:36.240
That's what helps just figure out,

01:21:36.240 --> 01:21:38.000
there's so many different species of Pokemon,

01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:40.720
so many unique, there's 1,000 plus Pokédex entries.

01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:44.000
And so it's great to have them support us.

01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:45.600
The Pokemon Company International supports us

01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:48.680
the whole way to make sure that we choose the right Pokemon

01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:51.000
to show off to make an statue form.

01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:53.440
But also for us, it's actually the scale as well.

01:21:53.440 --> 01:21:56.800
So as much as I would love a life-size Onyx,

01:21:56.800 --> 01:22:00.400
We can't do that. We have to make statues that fit through your front door.

01:22:00.400 --> 01:22:05.400
So that's why we want to highlight characters like our life-size Pikachu and our Charizard.

01:22:05.400 --> 01:22:10.400
And for our dioramas, we want to explore the world of Pokemon, just like in the Star

01:22:10.400 --> 01:22:15.000
Last Wonder, just like a specific environment, and show them in their natural habitats

01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:18.800
or a Pokemon's full evolutionary line, which I'll tease later.

01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:23.200
Okay. All right. So kind of a question for the broader team here.

01:22:23.200 --> 01:22:27.200
What's the most rewarding part of working with Pokemon?

01:22:27.200 --> 01:22:30.200
Amy, it's in the question. Working with Pokemon.

01:22:30.200 --> 01:22:33.200
That's the most rewarding part about working with Pokemon.

01:22:33.200 --> 01:22:37.200
I mean, like Tyler, Doug, and Julian talked about, you have these meetings

01:22:37.200 --> 01:22:40.200
with the folks at Pokemon talking about Pokemon.

01:22:40.200 --> 01:22:44.200
It's so exciting. I mean, that's the best kind of meeting you could ever ask for.

01:22:44.200 --> 01:22:48.200
Oh, and sorry.

01:22:48.200 --> 01:22:56.360
Um, for us at Saito, many of our artists are true fans of Pokemon, and it's been such a pleasure to be

01:22:57.240 --> 01:23:05.240
like just brought into this world and be able to make statues for other true fans around the world.

01:23:05.240 --> 01:23:11.080
And for me personally, like I grew up with Pokemon and being here at this event and seeing

01:23:11.080 --> 01:23:15.560
the amount of people and them enjoying the amount of love they have for specific characters or

01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:17.740
or just being around everybody,

01:23:17.740 --> 01:23:19.340
it should be so amazing for me.

01:23:19.340 --> 01:23:22.300
So like just bring my inner child back

01:23:22.300 --> 01:23:26.800
and just be, I don't know, just be part of an amazing fandom.

01:23:26.800 --> 01:23:27.640
Yeah.

01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:29.620
So what excites you almost

01:23:29.620 --> 01:23:32.840
about the future of Pokemon merchandise?

01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:37.140
I love when I see merch that digs deep

01:23:37.140 --> 01:23:41.940
and pushes what can be put on a product.

01:23:41.940 --> 01:23:44.620
I think what Doug and Tyler are doing with,

01:23:44.620 --> 01:23:46.640
like, hey, can we use this artwork?

01:23:46.640 --> 01:23:50.340
And it's like, we're asking for more.

01:23:50.340 --> 01:23:51.700
We've been doing this for 30 years,

01:23:51.700 --> 01:23:55.060
and we're still coming out with new and exciting stuff.

01:23:55.060 --> 01:23:59.780
And yeah, this hunger for, this is really cool.

01:23:59.780 --> 01:24:00.660
What else do you have?

01:24:00.660 --> 01:24:01.500
Yep.

01:24:01.500 --> 01:24:04.340
You know, and I think even what Julian and Sacho is doing

01:24:04.340 --> 01:24:06.900
is bringing these characters to life,

01:24:06.900 --> 01:24:08.380
and it's incredible.

01:24:08.380 --> 01:24:11.700
We're still going at it, and we're not stopping.

01:24:11.700 --> 01:24:18.300
So can anyone tease any upcoming products or collection?

01:24:18.300 --> 01:24:20.340
I can't tease anything specific yet,

01:24:20.340 --> 01:24:24.700
but I will say, like I talked about earlier, just because

01:24:24.700 --> 01:24:29.340
some of the ideas that didn't reach celebration journey

01:24:29.340 --> 01:24:31.420
does not mean they've gone away.

01:24:31.420 --> 01:24:35.820
That could be revisited for some kind of special collection

01:24:35.820 --> 01:24:37.780
or a different kind of puzzle.

01:24:37.780 --> 01:24:41.180
For now, I hope everyone has fun

01:24:41.180 --> 01:24:46.480
finding all the exciting details and nods and references to Pokemon we put in

01:24:46.480 --> 01:24:50.300
Celebration Journey. I look forward to you telling me about them at our booth.

01:24:50.300 --> 01:24:55.400
Yep. Tyler and Doug, do you have something to share with us?

01:24:55.400 --> 01:24:58.860
So we don't have anything to tease but we were wondering if everybody would

01:24:58.860 --> 01:25:02.600
actually like to see us open one of the mystery decks that are coming out

01:25:02.600 --> 01:25:03.600
later this year.

01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:04.600
Woo!

01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:05.600
Yeah.

01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:06.600
All right.

01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:09.600
We're going to stand up for this.

01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:12.600
Yeah, we can use that.

01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:13.600
Is anybody guessed?

01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:15.600
What do we think it's going to be?

01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:16.600
What?

01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:18.600
What have you got?

01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:19.600
All right.

01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:20.600
All right.

01:25:20.600 --> 01:25:21.600
I got a piece.

01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:24.600
So, as you can see, each deck comes wrapped.

01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:25.600
Nice protective paper.

01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:26.600
Keep it safe.

01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:30.600
It also comes with a booklet for those of you who are familiar with ETBs.

01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:32.600
You know what's in here.

01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:33.600
Yeah.

01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.600
And then you actually dig into it.

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:41.600
We're just going to rip this.

01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:45.600
Got it?

01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:46.600
Yep.

01:25:46.600 --> 01:25:47.600
Alright.

01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:48.600
Moment of truth.

01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:49.600
Let's go.

01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:51.600
And bail it.

01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:52.600
Here you go.

01:25:52.600 --> 01:25:53.600
Cardboard.

01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:54.600
Ooh.

01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:55.600
Yay.

01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:56.600
Alright.

01:25:56.600 --> 01:25:59.600
So that's an experience that you can expect with everyone of the Mystery Decks.

01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:02.600
one of the mystery decks when you get them later this year.

01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:03.700
Thanks, everybody.

01:26:03.700 --> 01:26:04.500
Very cool.

01:26:09.500 --> 01:26:11.960
Julian, do you have anything to share?

01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:15.500
I don't have anything physical, but I do work with multimedia

01:26:15.500 --> 01:26:18.900
and I was able to personally work on a video

01:26:18.900 --> 01:26:21.100
for a fan favorite ghost type trio

01:26:21.100 --> 01:26:24.400
that I would love to share with everybody.

01:26:24.400 --> 01:26:27.000
Something stirring in the shadows.

01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:29.640
Ghastly, Potter, Gengar!

01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:34.800
Our first Pokemon piece to capture a full evolutionary line in a single scene.

01:26:35.500 --> 01:26:39.500
Rising from a hand-painted base sculpted in stunning detail.

01:26:39.500 --> 01:26:44.000
A creepy crooked tree looms over this mischievous ghostly trio.

01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:47.500
As Gengar charges up sinister shadow balls

01:26:47.500 --> 01:26:51.500
and crafted down to the last translucent wisp of fog.

01:26:51.500 --> 01:26:55.000
A centerpiece for the display shelf, not for the toy box.

01:26:57.000 --> 01:26:58.000
Thank you.

01:26:58.000 --> 01:26:59.000
All right.

01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:06.280
Everyone, I would like to give a sincere thank you to all of our panelists if we can please

01:27:06.280 --> 01:27:08.160
give them a round of applause.

01:27:08.160 --> 01:27:13.320
Thank you so much for coming with us.

01:27:13.320 --> 01:27:16.440
Thank you for everything that you do to help bring our products to life.

01:27:16.440 --> 01:27:18.240
We appreciate you.

01:27:18.240 --> 01:27:21.800
And everybody, please check out all of today's panelists, set their booths and activations

01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:22.800
throughout the campus.

01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:26.440
And I think with that, we're good.

01:27:26.440 --> 01:27:28.440
Thank you everybody.

01:29:56.440 --> 01:29:58.440
I

01:30:26.440 --> 01:30:28.440
I

01:31:26.440 --> 01:31:28.440
I

01:31:56.440 --> 01:31:58.440
I

01:32:56.440 --> 01:32:58.440
I

01:37:26.440 --> 01:37:28.440
I

01:37:56.440 --> 01:37:58.440
Oh

01:39:56.440 --> 01:39:58.440
I

01:40:26.440 --> 01:40:28.440
I

01:40:56.440 --> 01:40:58.440
I

01:41:56.440 --> 01:41:58.440
I

01:42:26.440 --> 01:42:28.440
I

01:44:26.440 --> 01:44:33.440
I

01:44:33.440 --> 01:44:36.440
I

01:44:36.440 --> 01:44:39.440
I

01:44:39.440 --> 01:44:42.440
I

01:44:42.440 --> 01:44:45.440
I

01:44:45.440 --> 01:44:48.440
I

01:44:48.440 --> 01:44:51.440
I

01:47:21.440 --> 01:47:23.440
I

01:48:21.440 --> 01:48:23.440
I

01:49:21.440 --> 01:49:23.440
I

01:50:51.440 --> 01:50:53.440
I

01:51:51.440 --> 01:51:58.440
I

01:51:58.440 --> 01:52:01.440
I

01:52:01.440 --> 01:52:05.440
I

01:52:05.440 --> 01:52:09.440
I

01:52:09.440 --> 01:52:14.440
I

01:52:14.440 --> 01:52:19.440
I

01:52:19.440 --> 01:52:21.440
I

01:52:49.440 --> 01:52:51.440
I

01:53:19.440 --> 01:53:21.440
I

01:53:49.440 --> 01:53:51.440
Oh

01:54:19.440 --> 01:54:21.440
Oh

01:54:49.440 --> 01:54:51.440
I

01:57:49.440 --> 01:57:51.440
I

02:02:19.440 --> 02:02:37.440
Welcome back to Pokemon XP on this beautiful day three morning here on Rayquaza Road.

02:02:37.440 --> 02:02:43.080
I am Anna joined by Joshua and Glitter here on the desk and we just saw License, License

02:02:43.080 --> 02:02:44.080
to Thrill.

02:02:44.080 --> 02:02:48.160
Very fascinating to see all these different partners with Pokemon and what it takes

02:02:48.160 --> 02:02:53.840
to design, implement, and then bring to market these different items that celebrate Pokemon.

02:02:53.840 --> 02:02:58.800
But I really enjoyed the sideshow collectibles, especially that Snorlax kit.

02:02:58.800 --> 02:03:02.320
And one of the fascinating interviews that we had yesterday with Bear Walker was how

02:03:02.320 --> 02:03:07.020
to take a design or a dream and then once it becomes real, realize, okay, this maybe

02:03:07.020 --> 02:03:11.300
needs to be changed, maybe rework this, change that color to make it just right.

02:03:11.300 --> 02:03:14.340
So shout out to all the town of people that helped make all these different items

02:03:14.340 --> 02:03:15.340
come to life.

02:03:15.340 --> 02:03:20.500
I actually, I was at the sideshow booth really quick when I was down there and I was, I was

02:03:20.500 --> 02:03:27.340
ooing and oing and cooing over a Pokedex sized Eevee statue.

02:03:27.340 --> 02:03:31.380
And it was also next to a Pokedex sized Pikachu statue.

02:03:31.380 --> 02:03:36.260
And we've been talking about how Pokemon care so much about the consistency and delivering

02:03:36.260 --> 02:03:38.820
to their fans exactly what they love about their Pokemon.

02:03:38.820 --> 02:03:42.660
And I was like, I thought that Eevee and Pikachu were about the same size.

02:03:42.660 --> 02:03:47.260
And they were like, actually Pikachu is measured from the top of their head to the ground where

02:03:47.260 --> 02:03:50.020
Eevee is measured from the top of their ears to the ground.

02:03:50.020 --> 02:03:55.140
So I learned something new about one of my favorite Pokemon and got to visualize them

02:03:55.140 --> 02:03:56.640
as they would be as my pet.

02:03:56.640 --> 02:04:00.380
And I would just like to say exactly the same size as my dog.

02:04:00.380 --> 02:04:01.380
Just exactly the same size.

02:04:01.380 --> 02:04:03.900
So many parallels every time.

02:04:03.900 --> 02:04:09.540
She was sent to me as the perfect Eevee that she is.

02:04:09.540 --> 02:04:10.940
Yes, absolutely.

02:04:10.940 --> 02:04:12.620
And the perfect Pombon that she is.

02:04:12.620 --> 02:04:15.020
I could not be more thrilled with the cute fluffy things.

02:04:15.020 --> 02:04:17.580
I really hope, we were talking about this a little bit,

02:04:17.580 --> 02:04:22.140
but I really hope that you do a side-by-side photo,

02:04:22.140 --> 02:04:25.500
do a little bit of dye on your dog to match Pom Pom,

02:04:25.500 --> 02:04:27.540
and then just show how alike they are.

02:04:27.540 --> 02:04:29.380
I have a photo I'll show you later.

02:04:29.380 --> 02:04:30.580
Once we're not up here,

02:04:30.580 --> 02:04:33.180
I'll show you a little something that we have in store.

02:04:33.180 --> 02:04:35.460
But right now, we actually are going to get

02:04:35.460 --> 02:04:39.180
a little bit more of a look into the world of puzzles,

02:04:39.180 --> 02:04:41.100
and of skate, and all of the things

02:04:41.100 --> 02:04:42.220
that were mentioned in that panel.

02:04:42.220 --> 02:04:45.140
So right now, we get a chance to, I believe,

02:04:45.140 --> 02:04:47.560
check out a booth tour that you did.

02:04:47.560 --> 02:04:49.180
That's right, we have a Ryansburger,

02:04:49.180 --> 02:04:52.260
which is a company that's been around for quite some time,

02:04:52.260 --> 02:04:53.780
and they've been designing puzzles,

02:04:53.780 --> 02:04:57.300
and we have a 50,000 piece puzzle that is here

02:04:57.300 --> 02:04:59.220
at Pokemon XP, and all weekend long,

02:04:59.220 --> 02:05:01.180
folks have been coming by to try to add

02:05:01.180 --> 02:05:02.560
their sections to the puzzle.

02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:05.660
I got to talk to Nate Welton from there,

02:05:05.660 --> 02:05:06.900
and it was really cool to dive deeper

02:05:06.900 --> 02:05:08.220
into the puzzle strategy,

02:05:08.220 --> 02:05:09.700
and what it takes to design these puzzles,

02:05:09.700 --> 02:05:11.460
and then for the public to have access

02:05:11.460 --> 02:05:14.100
to these Pokemon puzzles from Ravensburger.

02:05:14.100 --> 02:05:14.940
It's really cool.

02:05:14.940 --> 02:05:15.780
I want to take a look at that.

02:05:15.780 --> 02:05:17.060
So let's do that right now.

02:05:20.300 --> 02:05:21.900
Hey everybody, we're at Pokemon XP

02:05:21.900 --> 02:05:24.140
and I'm joined by Nate Wilton from Ravensburger.

02:05:24.140 --> 02:05:25.540
Nate, it's great to have you here.

02:05:25.540 --> 02:05:26.380
Thank you, Josh.

02:05:26.380 --> 02:05:27.220
It's great to be here.

02:05:27.220 --> 02:05:28.380
So tell me more about this booth

02:05:28.380 --> 02:05:30.500
and this huge puzzle that's going on behind me.

02:05:30.500 --> 02:05:34.980
Yeah, we are solving Pokemon Celebration Journey,

02:05:34.980 --> 02:05:39.580
Ravensburger's 40,320 piece jigsaw puzzle.

02:05:39.580 --> 02:05:40.540
That's huge.

02:05:40.540 --> 02:05:41.380
That is huge.

02:05:41.380 --> 02:05:44.720
What goes into the design of creating such a huge puzzle like this?

02:05:44.720 --> 02:05:49.280
Everything, like what's the story behind it, where the Pokemon going,

02:05:49.280 --> 02:05:52.280
what Pokemon are going to be in it, where the environment's going to look like,

02:05:52.280 --> 02:05:56.280
everything, everything, all the love in the world went into this.

02:05:56.280 --> 02:05:59.480
Now can you tell me a little bit more about Ravensburger as a company?

02:05:59.480 --> 02:06:03.280
So Ravensburger is a 140-year-old family-owned German company

02:06:03.280 --> 02:06:06.580
based out of Ravensburg, Germany, started as a publishing company

02:06:06.580 --> 02:06:11.180
and has since expanded into many categories of toys, games and puzzles.

02:06:11.180 --> 02:06:13.300
And what is your particular history with the company?

02:06:13.300 --> 02:06:16.260
So I started actually in January of 2020.

02:06:16.260 --> 02:06:18.820
So you can imagine how that kind of really shifted.

02:06:18.820 --> 02:06:19.660
Oh yeah.

02:06:19.660 --> 02:06:21.260
Puzzles were always there

02:06:21.260 --> 02:06:23.660
and then went to the top of the world.

02:06:23.660 --> 02:06:25.460
And it's just been an amazing journey since.

02:06:25.460 --> 02:06:27.820
So I do a lot of art direction with,

02:06:27.820 --> 02:06:30.100
hey, this is what we're looking for with the artwork.

02:06:30.100 --> 02:06:31.500
So I think with Celebration Journey

02:06:31.500 --> 02:06:33.580
was a big collaboration with Pokemon.

02:06:33.580 --> 02:06:35.420
Now, how did this collaboration come about

02:06:35.420 --> 02:06:37.900
and what's it been like to work with Pokemon?

02:06:37.900 --> 02:06:40.140
This has been years in the making

02:06:40.140 --> 02:06:43.220
and really started picking up in 2024

02:06:43.220 --> 02:06:45.060
and it's just been an amazing,

02:06:45.060 --> 02:06:46.980
for lack of a better word, journey since.

02:06:46.980 --> 02:06:48.860
Tell me a little bit more about the strategy behind

02:06:48.860 --> 02:06:50.980
putting a puzzle together.

02:06:50.980 --> 02:06:54.020
There are no real rules to solving a jigsaw puzzle.

02:06:54.020 --> 02:06:55.420
There are some go-to strategies

02:06:55.420 --> 02:06:57.740
like you might start with the frame or the edges, right?

02:06:57.740 --> 02:07:00.100
But sometimes I think celebration journey

02:07:00.100 --> 02:07:02.300
is a great example where people are gravitating

02:07:02.300 --> 02:07:03.740
towards the Pokemon.

02:07:03.740 --> 02:07:06.180
And I think people are understandably looking

02:07:06.180 --> 02:07:07.900
for their favorite Pokemon to solve.

02:07:07.900 --> 02:07:11.540
and so you can actually see as this puzzle is being solved,

02:07:11.540 --> 02:07:14.600
you can see a lot of the Pokemon have already been assembled

02:07:14.600 --> 02:07:16.060
and so then it's working on the environment

02:07:16.060 --> 02:07:17.620
to build around them.

02:07:17.620 --> 02:07:20.060
We take that into consideration, right?

02:07:20.060 --> 02:07:21.700
Cause you have to always think these puzzles

02:07:21.700 --> 02:07:26.020
are going to be taken apart and assembled, no instructions.

02:07:26.020 --> 02:07:28.740
So you, I like to provide guidance

02:07:28.740 --> 02:07:31.500
and give puzzlers plenty of details to work with.

02:07:31.500 --> 02:07:33.780
And, you know, in the case of Celebration Journey,

02:07:33.780 --> 02:07:36.660
it is 10, 4,000 piece pans, right?

02:07:36.660 --> 02:07:39.000
You gotta think this is a massive scale.

02:07:39.000 --> 02:07:41.200
So even that, you know, you have these small pieces,

02:07:41.200 --> 02:07:43.800
give them little hints, help them out as much as you can.

02:07:43.800 --> 02:07:47.320
Now, I still go by the edges first, is that okay?

02:07:47.320 --> 02:07:48.840
Yeah, you can hurl however you want.

02:07:48.840 --> 02:07:49.680
Okay.

02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:50.640
There's no judgment in that.

02:07:50.640 --> 02:07:53.440
It's like organizing by color in different boxes.

02:07:53.440 --> 02:07:54.280
Yeah, that's great.

02:07:54.280 --> 02:07:55.120
Those are all great techniques.

02:07:55.120 --> 02:07:56.760
Now, you're a huge fan of Pokemon.

02:07:56.760 --> 02:07:59.320
Tell me a little more about your journey with Pokemon.

02:07:59.320 --> 02:08:01.920
I grew up with Pokemon, played the games,

02:08:01.920 --> 02:08:04.000
loved everything about it, watched the shows.

02:08:04.000 --> 02:08:05.560
I love Pokemon.

02:08:05.560 --> 02:08:07.360
And you'd be able to check out maybe some of the other booths

02:08:07.360 --> 02:08:09.760
or some of the presentations and panels we've had here.

02:08:09.760 --> 02:08:12.560
Like seeing the artwork, seeing just all the ways

02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:15.560
Pokemon is celebrated and loved is incredible.

02:08:15.560 --> 02:08:18.160
This is the biggest Pokemon puzzle in the market, correct?

02:08:18.160 --> 02:08:18.660
It is.

02:08:18.660 --> 02:08:19.160
Dang.

02:08:19.160 --> 02:08:21.600
So is there any limitation in terms

02:08:21.600 --> 02:08:23.480
of how many pieces, kind of realistically,

02:08:23.480 --> 02:08:24.520
somebody can take home?

02:08:24.520 --> 02:08:26.520
Or is it really just what can fulfill

02:08:26.520 --> 02:08:29.520
the design of what you want to present as the end result

02:08:29.520 --> 02:08:32.280
when it comes to how many pieces you want to have?

02:08:32.280 --> 02:08:37.280
I think you can really choose a peace count

02:08:37.360 --> 02:08:38.680
and then you let the art work

02:08:38.680 --> 02:08:40.360
and then you basically arc around that.

02:08:40.360 --> 02:08:43.520
Sometimes like if you have a 3000 piece

02:08:43.520 --> 02:08:45.080
and often the dimensions change,

02:08:45.080 --> 02:08:45.960
sometimes it doesn't work

02:08:45.960 --> 02:08:47.640
because you don't wanna crop certain things off

02:08:47.640 --> 02:08:48.480
if you're looking at that.

02:08:48.480 --> 02:08:51.520
So when you often will start with a peace count

02:08:51.520 --> 02:08:52.360
and then it's like, okay,

02:08:52.360 --> 02:08:54.000
I'm working around these dimensions.

02:08:54.000 --> 02:08:56.040
And then do you see art from the world of Pokemon,

02:08:56.040 --> 02:08:58.160
especially from either the trading card game

02:08:58.160 --> 02:08:59.480
or from the video games,

02:08:59.480 --> 02:09:01.560
you think, oh, that would be an amazing puzzle.

02:09:01.560 --> 02:09:04.020
I have permanent puzzle vision.

02:09:04.020 --> 02:09:07.360
I cannot look at any artwork of any sort

02:09:07.360 --> 02:09:09.620
without putting a puzzle piece,

02:09:09.620 --> 02:09:10.980
dialing on it and saying,

02:09:10.980 --> 02:09:12.320
yeah, that could be pretty good.

02:09:12.320 --> 02:09:15.680
Do you have any favorite memories

02:09:15.680 --> 02:09:17.440
from these last 30 years of Pokemon

02:09:17.440 --> 02:09:19.960
that has helped influence the designs

02:09:19.960 --> 02:09:21.160
when it comes to your puzzles?

02:09:21.160 --> 02:09:23.140
There are a lot of Easter eggs

02:09:23.140 --> 02:09:25.160
and nods to Pokemon that.

02:09:25.160 --> 02:09:26.920
I wanted to make sure we're in there.

02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:27.880
Oh, beautiful.

02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:29.160
And I hope everyone can find them.

02:09:29.160 --> 02:09:30.200
And I think people will.

02:09:30.200 --> 02:09:36.480
Have you had any particular Pokemon in the last three years that has become a favorite or do you have multiple favorites?

02:09:37.040 --> 02:09:44.160
You know, I've always, ever since I saw Haxorus, I said that has been my favorite Pokemon. Haxorus is so cool.

02:09:44.660 --> 02:09:56.320
But I mean, going through some of these, I'll say Panel 7, the jungle one, I have the three Bellossom and that's a reference to the Pokemon Movie 2000, Pikachu's Rescue Adventure when the three Bellossom dance.

02:09:56.320 --> 02:10:00.000
To be able to put that and represent that on a puzzle is just really exciting.

02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:06.320
It's little nods like that that I think fans will appreciate and I know the folks at the Pokemon Company International appreciate it too.

02:10:06.320 --> 02:10:11.320
Oh, that's beautiful. So everybody here at Pokemon XP can come by and actually contribute to putting this puzzle together?

02:10:11.320 --> 02:10:14.320
Absolutely, yeah. Come on over and grab some pieces and start solving.

02:10:14.320 --> 02:10:16.320
Alright, Nate. It was a pleasure to meet you.

02:10:16.320 --> 02:10:17.320
Like wise.

02:10:17.320 --> 02:10:19.320
Phenomenal experience here at Pokemon XP.

02:10:19.320 --> 02:10:26.800
And we actually have Nate with us here on the desk right now, and I'm stoked about this

02:10:26.800 --> 02:10:32.120
because I really want to talk to you about these puzzles, but before we do, I need to

02:10:32.120 --> 02:10:34.120
point out, you said your favorite Pokemon is Haxerous.

02:10:34.120 --> 02:10:35.120
Yes, it is.

02:10:35.120 --> 02:10:36.120
Our record is...

02:10:36.120 --> 02:10:37.120
We're still good.

02:10:37.120 --> 02:10:38.120
Yeah, we...

02:10:38.120 --> 02:10:39.120
Take continuous.

02:10:39.120 --> 02:10:41.320
Every single person on this desk so far has had a different favorite Pokemon.

02:10:41.320 --> 02:10:42.680
I am not surprised.

02:10:42.680 --> 02:10:46.240
I am surprised, but I shouldn't be, because...

02:10:46.240 --> 02:10:47.240
There's so many good ones to choose from.

02:10:47.240 --> 02:10:50.680
They really are quite a few, yeah.

02:10:50.680 --> 02:10:54.760
Talk to us about the collaboration with Pokemon.

02:10:54.760 --> 02:10:56.720
Are there other puzzles that people

02:10:56.720 --> 02:10:59.000
may have experienced before from Ravensburger?

02:10:59.000 --> 02:11:00.320
Are there more coming?

02:11:00.320 --> 02:11:01.800
What can people expect?

02:11:01.800 --> 02:11:03.120
Yeah, there.

02:11:03.120 --> 02:11:05.760
So I talked about this in the panel, Ravensburger.

02:11:05.760 --> 02:11:09.400
And Pokemon have been partners for several years now.

02:11:09.400 --> 02:11:12.800
But this is by far our biggest endeavor.

02:11:12.800 --> 02:11:15.360
And you said on the market, but I can't take home

02:11:15.360 --> 02:11:18.660
this this size of puzzle camera. You sure can. I can get it at

02:11:18.660 --> 02:11:22.840
robinsburger.com. Can you can you physically estimate how big the

02:11:22.840 --> 02:11:28.080
box is that on the wall? Is that how big it was? Yeah. How big is

02:11:28.080 --> 02:11:32.280
the box of the pieces come in this big and this tall about 40

02:11:32.280 --> 02:11:37.320
pounds? Wow. Yeah. Wow. 40,000 pieces feels like 40 pounds.

02:11:37.320 --> 02:11:39.920
I want to wow I want to know how that feels. That's really

02:11:39.920 --> 02:11:43.480
really cool. I actually I asked because you mentioned joining

02:11:43.480 --> 02:11:51.440
up in January 2020. And I was doing a lot of Robbins Burger puzzles in 2020. It brought

02:11:51.440 --> 02:11:58.320
me a lot of comfort when I was at home. So thank you for all your hard work. And lastly,

02:11:58.320 --> 02:12:05.080
I know you guys have questions. I'm sorry. You said that there are no correct ways, like

02:12:05.080 --> 02:12:09.920
no correct techniques, you know, how to do a puzzle. My grandmother actually was huge

02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:15.520
puzzle and huge gamer taught me that you must do the frame first and so I do that in her honor

02:12:16.400 --> 02:12:22.240
but I want to know even if there's no right way what do you do definitely frames frame first yeah

02:12:22.240 --> 02:12:26.240
okay yeah good flip the pieces well I guess even before that you can flip the pieces

02:12:26.240 --> 02:12:29.520
then you can start working on the frames celebration journey is a little bit different because

02:12:30.160 --> 02:12:35.040
you don't have every edge on each panel right so panel one only has two edges so then you

02:12:35.040 --> 02:12:38.000
You're gonna start with how it connects to the other ones.

02:12:38.000 --> 02:12:39.600
So it's a little bit different in that way,

02:12:39.600 --> 02:12:41.640
but yeah, I don't think there's a wrong way

02:12:41.640 --> 02:12:43.120
to solve a jigsaw puzzle.

02:12:43.120 --> 02:12:44.000
Love that.

02:12:44.000 --> 02:12:47.200
With your testing out the final product,

02:12:47.200 --> 02:12:49.160
has there ever been a moment where like,

02:12:49.160 --> 02:12:50.960
there's something we can do to make this either

02:12:50.960 --> 02:12:53.960
a little bit more easy to put the puzzle together?

02:12:53.960 --> 02:12:54.800
Oh yeah.

02:12:54.800 --> 02:12:56.880
Or challenging or trying to find that perfect balance

02:12:56.880 --> 02:12:59.880
in between, what is that process like?

02:12:59.880 --> 02:13:04.600
It's just as the progression

02:13:04.600 --> 02:13:06.640
of the artwork moves along, then it's like,

02:13:06.640 --> 02:13:09.600
ooh, we should add another Pokemon here.

02:13:09.600 --> 02:13:10.880
Ooh, we gotta add a Pokemon here.

02:13:10.880 --> 02:13:14.440
Like, really, I think, especially for the bottom half

02:13:14.440 --> 02:13:16.120
of the development of Celebration Journey,

02:13:16.120 --> 02:13:17.640
that's when we were really hitting our stride.

02:13:17.640 --> 02:13:18.860
I was getting a little more bold,

02:13:18.860 --> 02:13:21.240
where I'm like, oh, we gotta have Pokemon here,

02:13:21.240 --> 02:13:22.080
add one there.

02:13:22.080 --> 02:13:25.640
A lot of it had to do with how we were adding Pokemon,

02:13:25.640 --> 02:13:27.800
their interactions, the stories they were telling.

02:13:27.800 --> 02:13:30.040
Yeah, there was a lot of nuances of like,

02:13:30.040 --> 02:13:31.480
oh, we gotta add a little more detail here,

02:13:31.480 --> 02:13:32.420
especially to the environment,

02:13:32.420 --> 02:13:33.560
because that was all illustrated.

02:13:33.560 --> 02:13:37.400
So we had a lot of control over, and like I talked about,

02:13:37.400 --> 02:13:40.120
the dial that you can set for where you want this puzzle

02:13:40.120 --> 02:13:41.800
experience to be.

02:13:41.800 --> 02:13:43.040
And all the little hints help.

02:13:43.040 --> 02:13:45.840
To find the proper contrast to within the colors themselves.

02:13:45.840 --> 02:13:47.080
And then working with Pokemon, I mean,

02:13:47.080 --> 02:13:49.480
each of these different Pokemon have their specific colors.

02:13:49.480 --> 02:13:51.640
So to dial that in is very important.

02:13:51.640 --> 02:13:55.960
When you're able to take a look at the entire image,

02:13:55.960 --> 02:13:57.440
is there something about the brightness

02:13:57.440 --> 02:13:59.240
that maybe you're looking at when it comes to how

02:13:59.240 --> 02:14:00.080
the colors pop?

02:14:00.080 --> 02:14:01.640
And you have to dial it in perfectly as well?

02:14:01.640 --> 02:14:02.140
Absolutely.

02:14:02.140 --> 02:14:05.460
There's always those little tweaks of, okay,

02:14:05.460 --> 02:14:07.860
how is this going to translate

02:14:07.860 --> 02:14:10.140
when you see it as the actual puzzle piece?

02:14:10.140 --> 02:14:13.180
So I like to use the idea of every piece

02:14:13.180 --> 02:14:15.260
should feel like a little piece of artwork.

02:14:15.260 --> 02:14:17.140
So you can really, when you're puzzling,

02:14:17.140 --> 02:14:19.420
you're scrutinizing, you're really looking at those pieces,

02:14:19.420 --> 02:14:22.340
okay, what are those little patterns that I'm seeing?

02:14:22.340 --> 02:14:26.300
And then you're referencing the box or the poster.

02:14:26.300 --> 02:14:28.860
Yeah, those little things go a long way.

02:14:28.860 --> 02:14:31.940
Yeah, and so I'm always checking, like, zooming in.

02:14:31.940 --> 02:14:34.640
I call it the flyby when I'm looking, and it's like,

02:14:34.640 --> 02:14:37.540
it really is like, I'm zooming in until I can see,

02:14:37.540 --> 02:14:39.380
especially on screen, the pixels,

02:14:39.380 --> 02:14:40.620
and I'm like, okay, zoom back a little bit,

02:14:40.620 --> 02:14:42.580
and then it's like, okay, is there anything here?

02:14:42.580 --> 02:14:45.060
Do we need a little bit more push, push, push, and on?

02:14:45.060 --> 02:14:47.260
Even with the 10th panel, when we were wrapping up,

02:14:47.260 --> 02:14:49.780
still like little adjustments here and there,

02:14:49.780 --> 02:14:51.100
still making those final tweaks.

02:14:51.100 --> 02:14:52.620
So does that mean you've had to

02:14:52.620 --> 02:14:54.780
to build the puzzle multiple times?

02:14:54.780 --> 02:14:57.740
Oh no, no, this was all when we were viewing it

02:14:57.740 --> 02:14:58.580
on screen.

02:14:58.580 --> 02:15:01.020
Okay, now this might be too into the weeds for us.

02:15:01.020 --> 02:15:01.860
Please.

02:15:01.860 --> 02:15:02.820
Jigsaw puzzle specifically.

02:15:02.820 --> 02:15:05.020
But how, when you're coming up with a design,

02:15:05.020 --> 02:15:07.980
are you determining the puzzle piece shapes?

02:15:07.980 --> 02:15:11.340
Because obviously there's like the stereotypical iconic

02:15:11.340 --> 02:15:13.300
puzzle piece shape that people envision in their mind.

02:15:13.300 --> 02:15:14.620
When you think of jigsaw puzzles,

02:15:14.620 --> 02:15:16.420
but then sometimes you also get the more intricate ones

02:15:16.420 --> 02:15:18.740
with maybe like a pointy piece here.

02:15:18.740 --> 02:15:20.540
So when you're creating these puzzles,

02:15:20.540 --> 02:15:24.380
how are you determining how that gets designed?

02:15:25.340 --> 02:15:28.220
I would say I did not have as much involvement

02:15:28.220 --> 02:15:31.660
with the actual designs or shapes of the pieces,

02:15:31.660 --> 02:15:35.980
but what I do often do is while in progress,

02:15:35.980 --> 02:15:38.940
I will take a piece overlay and lay it over the artwork

02:15:38.940 --> 02:15:41.100
and that's how I get the sense of, okay,

02:15:41.100 --> 02:15:42.060
how are we looking with this?

02:15:42.060 --> 02:15:43.860
And it's like, we were just talking about,

02:15:43.860 --> 02:15:44.700
you're looking and like,

02:15:44.700 --> 02:15:46.460
ah, we need a little more of something right here.

02:15:46.460 --> 02:15:47.860
Let's bring this out a little bit more bright

02:15:47.860 --> 02:15:50.460
in this area up, add a little more detail here.

02:15:50.460 --> 02:15:51.300
I'm really curious,

02:15:51.300 --> 02:15:53.000
because you were talking about how each piece

02:15:53.000 --> 02:15:54.740
needs to be its own piece of artwork.

02:15:54.740 --> 02:15:56.820
I really love doing puzzles

02:15:56.820 --> 02:15:59.340
And I know exactly what you mean when you're like,

02:15:59.340 --> 02:16:01.940
oh, I found this piece that has the red and the yellow

02:16:01.940 --> 02:16:04.020
that I was looking for in the green background.

02:16:04.020 --> 02:16:06.420
Are there any places in this puzzle in particular

02:16:06.420 --> 02:16:08.980
where you're like, we did a really fun thing with that?

02:16:08.980 --> 02:16:10.580
Or we did that really well here?

02:16:10.580 --> 02:16:12.940
I'm excited for people to find those pieces together.

02:16:12.940 --> 02:16:14.380
Are there any shouts that you want to give

02:16:14.380 --> 02:16:16.020
for specific areas of the puzzle?

02:16:16.020 --> 02:16:19.140
I think a lot of parts in the skies.

02:16:19.140 --> 02:16:19.980
Really?

02:16:19.980 --> 02:16:22.180
Oh yeah, I think there's a lot of the nice little gradients

02:16:22.180 --> 02:16:24.660
and subtle color changes because like I talked about

02:16:24.660 --> 02:16:27.940
in the panel, when you think about the pristine beach,

02:16:27.940 --> 02:16:29.980
clear blue sky, it's like, that's a tough puzzle.

02:16:29.980 --> 02:16:30.460
Right.

02:16:30.460 --> 02:16:32.100
So even just little, again, it's all

02:16:32.100 --> 02:16:34.020
about that dial of adjusting like,

02:16:34.020 --> 02:16:35.620
OK, let's add a little more colors there.

02:16:35.620 --> 02:16:37.300
Let's change the time of day.

02:16:37.300 --> 02:16:39.500
And I think that helps a lot, too, of just, again,

02:16:39.500 --> 02:16:42.780
it's just a little hints that give some guidance.

02:16:42.780 --> 02:16:43.340
Yeah.

02:16:43.340 --> 02:16:44.180
Yeah.

02:16:44.180 --> 02:16:46.340
The joy that we feel, too, we finally get that piece.

02:16:46.340 --> 02:16:46.940
Exactly.

02:16:46.940 --> 02:16:50.300
It's not been your experience at the booth this entire weekend,

02:16:50.300 --> 02:16:52.900
especially for young kids coming by and trying to think,

02:16:52.900 --> 02:16:54.180
OK, will this actually work?

02:16:54.180 --> 02:16:56.620
and it fits perfectly and you see the jaw on their face

02:16:56.620 --> 02:16:57.460
and they tell their parents.

02:16:57.460 --> 02:17:00.060
And that spanned across all ages.

02:17:00.060 --> 02:17:02.740
Kids, adults, everyone, when you find that piece,

02:17:02.740 --> 02:17:03.820
feel so good.

02:17:03.820 --> 02:17:07.380
Have any pieces become stray, like lost on the floor

02:17:07.380 --> 02:17:08.660
and then found here at the con?

02:17:08.660 --> 02:17:09.500
It's always my nightmare.

02:17:09.500 --> 02:17:10.500
I've been doing rounds.

02:17:10.500 --> 02:17:11.000
Good.

02:17:11.000 --> 02:17:14.460
And yet you do see sometimes pieces fall.

02:17:14.460 --> 02:17:17.300
Because it's almost like you almost

02:17:17.300 --> 02:17:20.820
need to be wearing a really like almost a hazmat suit

02:17:20.820 --> 02:17:22.580
to make sure you don't actually lift a piece.

02:17:22.580 --> 02:17:23.940
Because you have loose clothing,

02:17:23.940 --> 02:17:28.100
Backpacks everyone's walking around, but yeah, I've just been I would just do some rounds and I'm gonna be like hey

02:17:28.100 --> 02:17:32.960
You got a piece under there right there, but yeah, so far we're doing great. I'm so

02:17:33.580 --> 02:17:38.020
Vigilant about that. I have a bigger dog as well. Oh, yeah, my dog ate the last

02:17:39.260 --> 02:17:43.880
I finished it and there was just the whole I was like his heart breaking in your stomach now

02:17:44.100 --> 02:17:45.460
Yeah

02:17:45.460 --> 02:17:50.100
But I also you mentioned the interactions between Pokemon and I think that's really interesting

02:17:50.100 --> 02:17:54.900
I know that specific Pokemon has specific ways that they would interact with each other

02:17:54.900 --> 02:17:58.940
Are there some favorite interactions or some that you would love to tell the story of?

02:18:00.420 --> 02:18:04.580
Panel 9 so that's Sylveon and the meta in the meadow scene

02:18:04.860 --> 02:18:06.860
Okay front and center

02:18:06.980 --> 02:18:13.780
You have because the EV evolutions they're all joining along Pikachu and EV as they go through so you add more

02:18:13.780 --> 02:18:18.260
And then we got to panel 9 and it says beautiful enchanting kind of meadow

02:18:18.260 --> 02:18:32.260
And I said, we're gonna have Umbreon here and I said, wouldn't it be funny if Sylveon and Leafeon were having a good laugh because Umbreon, a dark type Pokemon is surrounded in this beautiful meadow so you can see Umbreon is sitting there.

02:18:32.260 --> 02:18:42.260
E, Sylveon's winking like and Leafeon's having a laugh. I think that's one of my favorite interactions of just, you have these nice little moments right there.

02:18:42.260 --> 02:18:46.260
I love that. Those are some of my favorite Pokemon.

02:18:46.260 --> 02:18:53.060
Yeah, and do you see different personalities come out across all different types of medium and artwork but for a puzzle you are

02:18:53.220 --> 02:18:58.220
Capturing a very specific moment. Absolutely, and you can add so much with the different panels

02:18:58.500 --> 02:19:02.060
What inspires you to find those specific moments?

02:19:02.060 --> 02:19:08.000
And what is that process like be it one of the animated films or the video game or a trading card game?

02:19:08.000 --> 02:19:11.300
You're thinking I want that all the above all the above

02:19:11.300 --> 02:19:13.660
I would say the Pokedex was my friend for this one

02:19:13.660 --> 02:19:20.260
So I think there is an interaction with Matang and Nose Pass in the espion panel in the crystal cave where

02:19:20.900 --> 02:19:26.980
Matang is actually chasing Nose Pass and Nose Pass is kind of running away a little bit, stepping on a flashlight and ride on there like whoa

02:19:26.980 --> 02:19:34.240
What's happening? Like the fun little moments like that that help build a story and I think it's something while you're solving the puzzle

02:19:34.240 --> 02:19:37.120
You don't necessarily see right away, but then when you see it all together

02:19:37.120 --> 02:19:40.780
And you're just looking through it and doing all those pants, but yeah to your point Joshua like the

02:19:40.780 --> 02:19:43.260
that there are just so many little nods of like,

02:19:43.260 --> 02:19:45.340
okay, well, we have this environment.

02:19:45.340 --> 02:19:47.260
And then it's like, okay, what can we add here?

02:19:47.260 --> 02:19:48.100
What makes sense?

02:19:48.100 --> 02:19:50.940
So yeah, it's just calling upon the knowledge I had

02:19:50.940 --> 02:19:53.980
from growing up watching Pokemon, playing the games,

02:19:53.980 --> 02:19:55.820
and just saying like, yeah, this makes sense.

02:19:55.820 --> 02:19:57.660
Was there something about Nose Pass in the Tang

02:19:57.660 --> 02:20:00.820
that made you pick that scene for them?

02:20:00.820 --> 02:20:05.700
No, I think it was trying to have

02:20:05.700 --> 02:20:06.940
just a diverse environment.

02:20:06.940 --> 02:20:08.780
I'm just looking through.

02:20:08.780 --> 02:20:10.940
So like I talked about, I had this document

02:20:10.940 --> 02:20:12.980
that just had all the Pokemon I was thinking about

02:20:12.980 --> 02:20:14.780
and I'm like, again, it started from type base

02:20:14.780 --> 02:20:16.820
and then it became much more habitat based.

02:20:16.820 --> 02:20:19.420
So I just said, you know, what else do we have here?

02:20:19.420 --> 02:20:20.820
And like, let's read about them

02:20:20.820 --> 02:20:23.100
and let's just again, channeling my knowledge

02:20:23.100 --> 02:20:23.940
from the games.

02:20:23.940 --> 02:20:25.860
Like, well, I remember finding Nose Pass in that cave.

02:20:25.860 --> 02:20:27.060
So let's see about Nose Pass.

02:20:27.060 --> 02:20:29.140
We're like, oh, okay, you know,

02:20:29.140 --> 02:20:31.020
does it make sense to do the basic Pokemon

02:20:31.020 --> 02:20:31.940
or should I go to the stage one?

02:20:31.940 --> 02:20:34.180
So yeah, it was just this combination of things

02:20:34.180 --> 02:20:35.180
swirling through my head.

02:20:35.180 --> 02:20:37.980
But yeah, the basis was the Pokédex

02:20:37.980 --> 02:20:40.820
and making sure it just made sense

02:20:40.820 --> 02:20:42.460
for why those Pokemon were there.

02:20:42.460 --> 02:20:46.140
But how did that original list of Pokemon come to be?

02:20:46.140 --> 02:20:48.140
How do you make the cuts and decide

02:20:48.140 --> 02:20:50.380
who is going to be in the puzzle of the year

02:20:50.380 --> 02:20:52.620
when we have so many to choose from?

02:20:52.620 --> 02:20:56.580
It just started from type-based

02:20:56.580 --> 02:20:59.500
because you had the EV evolutions as like,

02:20:59.500 --> 02:21:00.980
they were the foundation.

02:21:00.980 --> 02:21:03.580
So I was like, okay, for Flareon,

02:21:03.580 --> 02:21:05.940
we had this kind of volcanic desert scene.

02:21:05.940 --> 02:21:08.060
And it's like, okay, so volcanic,

02:21:08.060 --> 02:21:10.180
so we've got to have some fire type Pokemon,

02:21:10.180 --> 02:21:11.460
and then we have this desert area.

02:21:11.460 --> 02:21:14.540
Okay, let's try to get some more diversity within that area.

02:21:14.540 --> 02:21:18.300
Yeah, it was like the environment helped dictate

02:21:19.220 --> 02:21:22.140
what could be added more and more.

02:21:22.140 --> 02:21:23.140
I'd love to dive a little bit deeper

02:21:23.140 --> 02:21:25.820
into the history of Ravensburger,

02:21:25.820 --> 02:21:28.500
especially 140 years of being involved

02:21:28.500 --> 02:21:30.460
with toys and games.

02:21:30.460 --> 02:21:32.300
What is it specifically about puzzles

02:21:32.300 --> 02:21:35.140
that has all of us continuing to be involved

02:21:35.140 --> 02:21:39.340
in the world of puzzles when it comes to the design, the strategy,

02:21:39.340 --> 02:21:43.300
but ultimately the satisfaction for somebody finally putting a puzzle together.

02:21:43.300 --> 02:21:44.860
Josh, I think you nailed it.

02:21:44.860 --> 02:21:54.380
It's the satisfaction and it's such a peaceful kind of experience with solving a jigsaw puzzle.

02:21:54.380 --> 02:21:58.100
And it's an industry I never thought I'd be in, but it's so amazing to be in it.

02:21:58.100 --> 02:22:04.660
And the community for jigsaw puzzles is so wholesome and just it's just a wonderful

02:22:04.660 --> 02:22:08.180
experience. I mean I can't think of a part of it. It's like you stressed out,

02:22:08.180 --> 02:22:12.540
solve a jigsaw puzzle. It's just, it provides so much goodness in the world. I

02:22:12.540 --> 02:22:15.460
mean I think that's why people keep coming back to it. And once you're,

02:22:15.460 --> 02:22:20.260
once you've experienced a good jigsaw puzzle, I think it's hard for people

02:22:20.260 --> 02:22:24.740
to go back. Absolutely. Have you seen any moments that you've particularly

02:22:24.740 --> 02:22:28.380
treasured here at Pokemon XP with families or people coming and putting

02:22:28.380 --> 02:22:33.040
together the puzzle? I just think any moment you see someone saying like,

02:22:33.040 --> 02:22:37.520
we got it or like people are saying like oh you have the whole community coming together people who

02:22:37.520 --> 02:22:42.160
don't know each other have never met before maybe even coming from different parts of the world and

02:22:42.160 --> 02:22:47.200
but there's it's a universal language to be like can I have that piece yeah like this goes here yeah

02:22:47.200 --> 02:22:52.240
I mean that's that's amazing yeah definitely from your own personal side of things obviously

02:22:52.240 --> 02:22:57.520
you know you're doing the panel working the booth but even just from an individual enjoyment

02:22:57.520 --> 02:23:01.440
perspective when you're walking around Pokemon XP like what have been some of your favorite

02:23:01.440 --> 02:23:05.920
personal moments like what you've enjoyed about being here every bit of it I can't

02:23:05.920 --> 02:23:09.900
even name one it's just so amazing I really can't play it's just so hard to

02:23:09.900 --> 02:23:15.940
pinpoint one thing have you spotted any haxer us around I have not yeah I might

02:23:15.940 --> 02:23:21.300
be one that's a little bit harder to spot I just remember playing when I was

02:23:21.300 --> 02:23:27.900
visiting some friends and they were playing pocopia and they went out of

02:23:27.900 --> 02:23:31.960
their way for Haxorus to visit them and I thought that was amazing.

02:23:31.960 --> 02:23:34.340
Was there any origin to why Haxorus is your favorite?

02:23:34.340 --> 02:23:40.340
I think I just saw Haxorus while playing Pokemon White version and I said that is so cool.

02:23:40.340 --> 02:23:44.340
And then I saw the shiny version and I said that is really cool.

02:23:44.340 --> 02:23:47.540
Now as difficult as it may be for some to put a puzzle together, I think one of the

02:23:47.540 --> 02:23:50.700
hardest things to do is after you've completed the puzzle what to do next.

02:23:50.700 --> 02:23:55.260
Some people go for framing, others will let it linger on the kitchen table for a while.

02:23:55.260 --> 02:23:59.420
folks would be like, I can't, I gotta put it away and they'll come back to it maybe a little bit later.

02:24:00.300 --> 02:24:04.860
In your experience, what has been kind of the most popular end result? Have people been framing

02:24:04.860 --> 02:24:09.340
it or they put it back in the box? Is it a mix in between? I think it's a mix in between probably more

02:24:09.340 --> 02:24:16.940
so. What's cool about jigsaw puzzles is people have their collection and it's like, here's my wall

02:24:17.500 --> 02:24:22.460
of jigsaw puzzles. And I think a lot of times some people will save them for an occasion. I

02:24:22.460 --> 02:24:25.700
I think like holiday puzzles are really big part of family tradition.

02:24:25.700 --> 02:24:26.480
So stuff like that.

02:24:26.480 --> 02:24:26.980
Yeah.

02:24:27.760 --> 02:24:30.460
I think more people are getting in tune with framing or even just mounting them.

02:24:30.460 --> 02:24:35.480
I've seen some really awesome pictures of people who just put wall to wall,

02:24:35.500 --> 02:24:38.180
not even framing it, just lining their walls with their puzzles.

02:24:38.180 --> 02:24:39.500
They just completed it.

02:24:39.500 --> 02:24:40.620
It's really cool artwork.

02:24:41.140 --> 02:24:45.260
I, this is a great line for us as we come from the world of competitive

02:24:45.260 --> 02:24:45.600
gaming.

02:24:45.600 --> 02:24:49.940
So I was looking for the topstracts, you know, and some of the challenges

02:24:49.940 --> 02:24:52.180
you face when you're putting together a puzzle are like, when I need to

02:24:52.180 --> 02:24:57.220
take a break. Sometimes I need to move that puzzle or when I like you said when

02:24:57.220 --> 02:24:59.860
I'm done with it I need to put it somewhere I want to show it to someone

02:24:59.860 --> 02:25:03.660
or I need to actually disassemble it really fast and put it back in the box.

02:25:03.660 --> 02:25:06.340
Do you have any like favorite tips that a lot of people don't know about

02:25:06.340 --> 02:25:10.340
puzzles or like for example I have this really cool felt board that I just

02:25:10.340 --> 02:25:15.420
use for my puzzle so I can move them off the table. Any tips or tricks?

02:25:15.420 --> 02:25:19.060
I think it's patience and practice.

02:25:19.060 --> 02:25:19.580
Okay.

02:25:19.580 --> 02:25:23.260
So I think if you want to get into puzzling,

02:25:23.260 --> 02:25:25.460
you don't have to jump right away to a thousand piece puzzle.

02:25:25.460 --> 02:25:29.100
One of my favorite things to jigsaw puzzles to solve are 100 pieces.

02:25:29.100 --> 02:25:30.980
You get that awesome puzzle fix,

02:25:30.980 --> 02:25:33.340
and that's how you start to build up speed.

02:25:33.340 --> 02:25:34.460
You can work your way up.

02:25:34.460 --> 02:25:36.820
So I think that's a not necessarily

02:25:36.820 --> 02:25:39.860
a specific technique because I think a lot of times with speed puzzling,

02:25:39.860 --> 02:25:41.780
you're doing the same thing just faster.

02:25:41.780 --> 02:25:42.060
Right.

02:25:42.060 --> 02:25:44.940
But that comes from building up confidence and maybe it's more like,

02:25:44.940 --> 02:25:48.440
Okay, I'm looking for patterns as opposed to thinking about

02:25:48.440 --> 02:25:51.060
and also settling on, I need to find this one piece.

02:25:51.060 --> 02:25:53.180
It's okay, I found a piece, this goes here.

02:25:53.180 --> 02:25:56.300
I think that's a big mental shift too,

02:25:56.300 --> 02:25:58.780
is instead of setting yourself on,

02:25:58.780 --> 02:26:00.220
I need to find this piece too.

02:26:00.220 --> 02:26:01.340
I found this piece, it goes here.

02:26:01.340 --> 02:26:02.340
I found this piece, it goes here.

02:26:02.340 --> 02:26:03.420
That's a big technique

02:26:03.420 --> 02:26:04.980
if you want to get into speed puzzling.

02:26:04.980 --> 02:26:07.220
I'm specifically asking because I'm thinking,

02:26:07.220 --> 02:26:09.420
all right, if I've got 40,000 pieces

02:26:09.420 --> 02:26:13.100
after I order them, how shall I start?

02:26:13.100 --> 02:26:14.780
Like what would be your recommendation?

02:26:14.780 --> 02:26:17.860
do I do panel by panel? How would I go about doing that?

02:26:17.860 --> 02:26:24.380
So because the panels come in individual bags and they're labeled, you can choose which

02:26:24.380 --> 02:26:28.180
panel you want to start with. That would be crazy. You want just one big bag, and you

02:26:28.180 --> 02:26:32.500
have to start with it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That would be my recommendation is you just

02:26:32.500 --> 02:26:35.900
choose whichever panel you want and you don't have to start with panel one. I mean,

02:26:35.900 --> 02:26:39.940
I think what's cool about Celebration Journey is it is a story progression. But, you

02:26:39.940 --> 02:26:43.220
know, you can tell your own story. I like that you guys haven't mounted up on

02:26:43.220 --> 02:26:49.780
the wall too. I'm like, that would look pretty cool in my office actually. Yeah, I think that's

02:26:49.780 --> 02:26:52.980
the big thing is the sense of scale because people will sometimes depending where they're

02:26:52.980 --> 02:26:57.420
coming from to the booth, they'll see the box first. Yeah. And they go, and it's right

02:26:57.420 --> 02:27:03.140
over there. And they go, oh, oh, I mean, it's this huge reveal. But yeah, you need

02:27:03.140 --> 02:27:07.460
a lot of space for celebration journey. Now you had mentioned puzzle vision that you

02:27:07.460 --> 02:27:12.620
have. Yes. And there is a lot to experience here Pokemon XP. Are there certain aspects

02:27:12.620 --> 02:27:15.880
of this experience that you've already maybe noted down and decided okay that's

02:27:15.880 --> 02:27:18.860
gonna be a really great design. Absolutely. You let yourself absorb everything first

02:27:18.860 --> 02:27:23.000
and then it's instant. It really is instant like yep that'd be a cool puzzle.

02:27:23.000 --> 02:27:27.500
And then are you limited by size when you think of these different options or

02:27:27.500 --> 02:27:31.400
visualizations or do you like try to go big first and then scale down

02:27:31.400 --> 02:27:35.140
afterwards or it just depends on the feeling. Yeah I think it is a

02:27:35.140 --> 02:27:39.580
feeling but my default vision is usually 1,000 pieces. I like those too.

02:27:39.580 --> 02:27:45.260
Because it's so, it is our bread and butter when it comes to which puzzle piece count people go to,

02:27:45.900 --> 02:27:50.200
but I would say sometimes I think okay, well if it doesn't work there, then it's like okay, we start working our way down.

02:27:50.200 --> 02:27:52.700
Does this mean that you've envisioned the Haxerous puzzle?

02:27:54.300 --> 02:28:02.100
Because I know it's hard with just one Pokemon, so that's why I'm so grateful to folks at the Pokemon Company International for just

02:28:02.620 --> 02:28:07.320
allowing us to really push. We have at least 40 Pokemon in each panel, and that is a lot.

02:28:07.320 --> 02:28:08.320
That is a lot.

02:28:08.320 --> 02:28:14.440
Yeah, that is a lot and it's 4,000 pieces. So yeah, it's like to just have one Pokemon as cool as it would be a

02:28:15.240 --> 02:28:18.780
No offense to Haxers, but Haxers would not make that great at the puzzle on its own

02:28:19.120 --> 02:28:21.120
Is Haxers in the celebration?

02:28:21.120 --> 02:28:25.960
It is not. I put fracture in there though. Oh, okay. Yeah, not an insert of the favorite, huh?

02:28:26.320 --> 02:28:28.320
It didn't feel right. I

02:28:28.440 --> 02:28:36.040
Respect that. Great discipline. Yeah, I did show some restraint of like, ah, I gotta put all my favorite Pokemon

02:28:36.040 --> 02:28:40.360
No, no, no. It's got to make sense for the puzzle first because if we were in charge there'd be Lapras everywhere

02:28:41.360 --> 02:28:47.080
Lapras in there. Nice. We'll have to tell Lapras. We share a dressing room with Lapras. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's just

02:28:47.880 --> 02:28:51.960
Now we're here at Pokemon XP as someone who's been a lifetime fan

02:28:52.440 --> 02:28:55.120
Tell us about the experience a lot of people who are watching at home

02:28:55.120 --> 02:28:57.240
I haven't been able to be here in person

02:28:57.240 --> 02:29:02.560
So share with them how it feels to be here at Pokemon XP and what you've observed unbelievable just the

02:29:03.000 --> 02:29:04.060
the

02:29:04.060 --> 02:29:07.680
Intensity the love for Pokemon is just amazing

02:29:08.180 --> 02:29:13.900
The intensity in terms of like people being stoked what what excitement love just like I mean

02:29:14.620 --> 02:29:22.500
How many times have these are lifelong fans who have seen Pokemon in so many different ways and then they're here

02:29:22.500 --> 02:29:28.140
They're like there's that Pokemon. Yeah, like it's almost like a soft reset of the brain of like you see them for the first time again

02:29:28.140 --> 02:29:30.140
And it's still so amazing

02:29:30.140 --> 02:29:35.420
Well, we only have a couple more minutes, but I just wanted to give a chance to say,

02:29:35.420 --> 02:29:37.720
you know, what's coming next for people?

02:29:37.720 --> 02:29:38.720
What's the call to action?

02:29:38.720 --> 02:29:41.220
What should they look for from Ravensburger?

02:29:41.220 --> 02:29:49.140
So you can, if you are not ready to brave Celebration Journey, we are releasing each

02:29:49.140 --> 02:29:51.420
panel as 1,000 piece puzzle versions.

02:29:51.420 --> 02:29:54.060
So the first three panels are available for pre-order.

02:29:54.060 --> 02:29:58.380
I believe they are widely released September 1st, and then the remaining panels will

02:29:58.380 --> 02:30:00.380
be released at the start of next year.

02:30:00.380 --> 02:30:01.380
Oh, awesome.

02:30:01.380 --> 02:30:02.380
Very cool.

02:30:02.380 --> 02:30:03.380
Okay, great.

02:30:03.380 --> 02:30:04.380
So you can work your way up like I was talking about.

02:30:04.380 --> 02:30:06.380
You don't have to start right away with the 40,320 piece puzzle.

02:30:06.380 --> 02:30:09.380
You can start with the 1,000 piece puzzles and work your way up there.

02:30:09.380 --> 02:30:13.380
And if people are here on site, tell us a little bit more about where can they find

02:30:13.380 --> 02:30:14.380
you?

02:30:14.380 --> 02:30:16.380
How can they participate on day three here with the puzzle?

02:30:16.380 --> 02:30:17.380
They can find us at the Robinsburger booth.

02:30:17.380 --> 02:30:20.380
We are still working on solving celebration journey.

02:30:20.380 --> 02:30:21.380
Yeah?

02:30:21.380 --> 02:30:22.380
Yep.

02:30:22.380 --> 02:30:23.380
Do you think it'll get solved by the end?

02:30:23.380 --> 02:30:24.380
That's hard to say.

02:30:24.380 --> 02:30:25.380
That's a lot of pieces.

02:30:25.380 --> 02:30:29.500
We have, we're working on three panels right now.

02:30:29.500 --> 02:30:31.660
I believe we still have one panel we have not opened yet

02:30:31.660 --> 02:30:33.820
and that's Espeon in the Crystal Cave.

02:30:33.820 --> 02:30:34.660
We gotta go down and help.

02:30:34.660 --> 02:30:36.700
Can we come out?

02:30:36.700 --> 02:30:38.060
Yes, of course.

02:30:38.060 --> 02:30:39.900
All right, that's where we'll go during the break.

02:30:39.900 --> 02:30:41.940
All right, well thank you so much for spending time with us.

02:30:41.940 --> 02:30:43.060
Is there anywhere people should look

02:30:43.060 --> 02:30:44.300
for you in particular?

02:30:44.300 --> 02:30:45.140
Nope.

02:30:45.140 --> 02:30:45.980
All right, great.

02:30:45.980 --> 02:30:47.180
Awesome, thank you so much for your time.

02:30:47.180 --> 02:30:48.020
Thank you so much.

02:30:48.020 --> 02:30:49.140
Now we're gonna go take a look

02:30:49.140 --> 02:30:51.220
at the Santa Cruz skate park.

02:30:51.220 --> 02:30:52.820
Let's check that out right now.

02:30:55.380 --> 02:31:04.180
Hey everybody, we're at Pokemon XP and I'm joined by Alex from Santa Cruz, Alex how's

02:31:04.180 --> 02:31:05.980
you been going through so far?

02:31:05.980 --> 02:31:10.900
Man, it's pretty wild out here just seeing like all the fans coming through, I've never

02:31:10.900 --> 02:31:15.100
seen so many Pokemon fans in one place and just for us to have this state-of-the-art

02:31:15.100 --> 02:31:19.940
situation here, be in the middle of this just like wild, free day party, it's pretty

02:31:19.940 --> 02:31:20.940
exciting to be honest.

02:31:20.940 --> 02:31:27.300
So like sea skateboarding come from such a humble roof and then beyond the global stage and it's like massive humidity

02:31:27.300 --> 02:31:29.300
You can ask for a better way you can also

02:31:29.380 --> 02:31:31.380
Now what initialized the collaboration?

02:31:34.020 --> 02:31:39.020
Yeah, totally. So this is actually our second version of our collaboration with Pokemon

02:31:39.020 --> 02:31:46.980
We did our first lineback capsule in 2023 had a huge reception immediately fans were just asking for more

02:31:46.980 --> 02:31:52.980
kind of waited, ideated for a while, and then this 38th anniversary came about and we thought,

02:31:52.980 --> 02:31:56.980
what a great idea to come back. This is our first time working with the card art as well,

02:31:56.980 --> 02:31:59.980
which is an honor for sure. I'd love to get into that with you more.

02:31:59.980 --> 02:32:07.980
And then for this collaboration, we'll be offering 30 different card variants for the 30 years that Pokemon's been in.

02:32:07.980 --> 02:32:10.980
And we've seen a lot of the beautiful card art throughout the last three years.

02:32:10.980 --> 02:32:12.980
But what was that inspiration to use the card art?

02:32:12.980 --> 02:32:17.980
What was the card art? What was kind of a selective process to find which art you wanted to use for the different boards?

02:32:17.980 --> 02:32:25.980
Probably the most collaborative project we've worked on. It was our creative team bringing their experience and their passion to Pokemon along the size of Pokemon team

02:32:25.980 --> 02:32:33.980
bringing obviously their expertise and wealth of knowledge and library. We really wanted to showcase kind of the whole trajectory of Pokemon.

02:32:33.980 --> 02:32:35.980
Come on, if you take a walk around these ramps

02:32:35.980 --> 02:32:38.580
you'll see the 30th area, it's this way right here.

02:32:38.580 --> 02:32:40.220
You've got everything from the original grade,

02:32:40.220 --> 02:32:41.540
which is near and dear to my heart.

02:32:41.540 --> 02:32:42.700
I remember when those came out,

02:32:42.700 --> 02:32:45.420
all the way up until like the mega-chars are,

02:32:45.420 --> 02:32:48.580
and this is much like newer generational mode.

02:32:48.580 --> 02:32:50.420
So we really wanted to make sure that we were aware

02:32:50.420 --> 02:32:53.180
of like how wide the fame under-spanning,

02:32:53.180 --> 02:32:55.740
and make sure that it's a part of everyone.

02:32:55.740 --> 02:32:58.420
How is Santa Cruz today using skateboarding

02:32:58.420 --> 02:33:02.100
as a positive force in this year?

02:33:02.100 --> 02:33:08.100
Totally. Well, I mean, I would argue that skateboarding is always a positive force in today's youth.

02:33:08.100 --> 02:33:13.100
It's something that you can go and do by yourself. You can kind of do it anywhere.

02:33:13.100 --> 02:33:19.100
It doesn't need a lot of institutions or construction. A parking lot can be your playground.

02:33:19.100 --> 02:33:23.100
But, you know, I think skateboarding, first and foremost, like our responsibility as a brand

02:33:23.100 --> 02:33:28.100
is just to make sure, like, you're aware of what the kids are into and what the youth is into.

02:33:28.100 --> 02:33:33.100
I think this capsule, this collection speaks to that.

02:33:33.100 --> 02:33:37.100
One thing I think is pretty cool, I'm going to pontificate here a little bit.

02:33:37.100 --> 02:33:42.100
There, when I was growing up, your identity was really siloed.

02:33:42.100 --> 02:33:46.100
Like you had to be a skateboarder or in the like punk crowd during the Pokemon.

02:33:46.100 --> 02:33:53.100
What's really cool being here and where we're at I think culturally is that people are really plural in their interests, right?

02:33:53.100 --> 02:33:59.900
So I think this collaboration and just kind of like the choices we're making is aware that like we have to, of course,

02:33:59.900 --> 02:34:05.300
see what's near and dear towards our favorite culture, but we can also like bring more people in with

02:34:05.300 --> 02:34:11.620
properties that may not have been celebrated or may not have like been

02:34:11.620 --> 02:34:15.700
something you like talked about as a skateboarder 10, 15 years ago.

02:34:15.700 --> 02:34:22.500
I assume Pokemon also enhances that positive force or positive outlet for the youth as well, so it makes sense to have this collaboration.

02:34:22.500 --> 02:34:25.860
absolutely yeah you know like our hope is at the end of the day that like fans

02:34:25.860 --> 02:34:29.700
first love first and foremost get this i'd love to see some of these boards get

02:34:29.700 --> 02:34:33.620
skated we'll see given kind of the the nature of

02:34:33.620 --> 02:34:37.300
an exciting business product yeah at the end of the day our hope is that like

02:34:37.300 --> 02:34:40.420
we get to do something that the fans aren't really excited about that like

02:34:40.420 --> 02:34:42.660
brings more people in to try skateboarding

02:34:42.660 --> 02:34:45.860
now you mentioned the third design celebrating 30 years of Pokemon but

02:34:45.860 --> 02:34:49.140
are there any designs you'd love to see come to fruition

02:34:49.140 --> 02:34:55.100
gosh that's a really good question I'm gonna go like what I mean I'm gonna lean

02:34:55.100 --> 02:34:59.140
into a fan favorite I'm big snorlax guy so I'd like to see a snorlax out here

02:34:59.140 --> 02:35:02.140
just kind of like all over the skateboard you know kind of taking up the

02:35:02.140 --> 02:35:05.220
whole thing so I'd love to see that design out there I mean there's just so

02:35:05.220 --> 02:35:10.580
much to tap into it's wild when I got into Pokemon in 7 or 8 there's a

02:35:10.580 --> 02:35:13.740
hundred and fifty one of them and now what there's about over a thousand

02:35:13.740 --> 02:35:17.780
thousand and 25 there you go exactly so I mean like worlds really are

02:35:17.780 --> 02:35:21.780
what is stood with it. One design call out there I'd like to say about the boards is the EV

02:35:21.780 --> 02:35:27.140
options are really interesting. Our icon, our branding is the Santa Cruz Dot and you'll see

02:35:27.140 --> 02:35:32.340
that on all the boards in different variations of the Dot. But on the EV board specifically,

02:35:32.340 --> 02:35:37.940
it has the EV ears and EV tail coming out of the Dot. So just another way that we're able to

02:35:37.940 --> 02:35:42.100
kind of like lean into Pokemon is to have those like Easter eggs into the product.

02:35:42.100 --> 02:35:44.740
Now you mentioned store locks, I assume. Is he your favorite Pokemon or do you have

02:35:44.740 --> 02:35:46.740
Any other favorites?

02:35:46.740 --> 02:35:49.740
Yeah, man, I love Storlax for sure.

02:35:49.740 --> 02:35:53.740
You know, one board I love up here is Armune Umbreon as well.

02:35:53.740 --> 02:35:56.740
I love the Umbreon also.

02:35:56.740 --> 02:36:00.740
Man, I just love that you can have the most serious, intense-lipping poking around,

02:36:00.740 --> 02:36:04.740
and then you can have something entirely whimsical, like a jigglypuff.

02:36:04.740 --> 02:36:09.740
Yeah, I need some jigglypuff to help me go to sleep after all the bruises

02:36:09.740 --> 02:36:11.740
that we get trying to skateboard.

02:36:11.740 --> 02:36:13.740
Look at that soothing sensation.

02:36:13.740 --> 02:36:16.540
Get that nurse Chansey in there too to take care of your bruises.

02:36:17.500 --> 02:36:21.900
Right on wall, it's great to see these skaters behind us really shredding here the hype, the half-pipe.

02:36:21.900 --> 02:36:24.380
And a huge thank you to you and this amazing collaboration,

02:36:24.380 --> 02:36:27.100
so we hope a lot of people check it out here at Pokemon XP.

02:36:27.100 --> 02:36:31.100
Come on down, we've got skaters we're handing out exclusively for the event.

02:36:31.100 --> 02:36:32.140
Kind of get you one too.

02:36:32.140 --> 02:36:33.100
All right, thanks a lot man.

02:36:33.100 --> 02:36:44.220
Hello and welcome back to the desk here at Pokemon XSuite right next to the Santa Cruz

02:36:44.220 --> 02:36:48.780
skate park and we're joined by some very special guests here on the desk welcome to the desk

02:36:48.780 --> 02:36:51.580
could you please introduce yourselves to the people at home tell them who you are and

02:36:51.580 --> 02:36:57.100
what you do yeah my name is Doug Wolfile I am the design manager for the Pokemon trading

02:36:57.100 --> 02:37:03.580
card game packaging creative team over at TPCI. I'm Tyler Immanuel. I'm the art director

02:37:03.580 --> 02:37:08.460
for Santa Cruz Skateboards. And how did you come to meet and create such a beautiful collaboration?

02:37:09.580 --> 02:37:16.300
Well, after our first collab in 2023, we knew we wanted to have a round two with Pokemon. So we

02:37:16.300 --> 02:37:20.940
were in communication with them soon after that and we're all excited to make it happen.

02:37:21.660 --> 02:37:24.780
Yeah, as soon as a number of people in the world of skateboarding, they were very excited

02:37:24.780 --> 02:37:29.020
to see that as well. Doug, when it comes to the Pokemon Company International, I'm sure

02:37:29.020 --> 02:37:33.180
there's a lot of fans in that world that decided, okay, we definitely have to make this happen.

02:37:33.180 --> 02:37:38.300
Oh yeah, for sure. I know for us it was a big priority as soon as we found out that it was

02:37:38.300 --> 02:37:42.780
something that we were going to be doing. We wanted to do everything we could to make sure that

02:37:42.780 --> 02:37:46.780
not only were we giving the fans something different than the original, but we were doing

02:37:46.780 --> 02:37:52.060
it in a way that would really honor both the Pokemon and Santa Cruz brands. That's what

02:37:52.060 --> 02:37:54.720
we tried to do with this round of mystery decks.

02:37:54.720 --> 02:37:57.640
I see we have some down here.

02:37:57.640 --> 02:37:59.380
Can we show them off?

02:37:59.380 --> 02:38:01.100
Yeah, so this is one more.

02:38:01.100 --> 02:38:05.980
This is one we just opened up on stage in our panel.

02:38:05.980 --> 02:38:07.300
It's a Gardevoir.

02:38:07.300 --> 02:38:07.820
Yeah.

02:38:07.820 --> 02:38:08.780
Beautiful.

02:38:08.780 --> 02:38:11.260
And are the, when you say you opened it up,

02:38:11.260 --> 02:38:13.020
are they blind boxes, all of them?

02:38:13.020 --> 02:38:14.620
Yeah, they're mystery decks.

02:38:14.620 --> 02:38:17.100
So you don't know exactly which one you're going to get.

02:38:17.100 --> 02:38:18.620
So it's a surprise for the customer.

02:38:18.620 --> 02:38:19.820
That is so fun.

02:38:19.820 --> 02:38:21.820
Yeah, so we had no idea on stage

02:38:21.820 --> 02:38:23.620
what we were going to be opening up.

02:38:23.620 --> 02:38:25.820
It was a pleasant surprise to see that it was

02:38:25.820 --> 02:38:29.820
Gardevoir and not something that we're not ready to show the public.

02:38:29.820 --> 02:38:30.820
Yeah.

02:38:30.820 --> 02:38:32.820
That is a pleasant surprise to know.

02:38:32.820 --> 02:38:36.820
And I think a lot of people, instead of actually hooking this up,

02:38:36.820 --> 02:38:39.820
they will put it up on their wall.

02:38:39.820 --> 02:38:43.820
Is that why they're going to buy maybe multiple in order for some to use and some to collect?

02:38:43.820 --> 02:38:44.820
Yeah.

02:38:44.820 --> 02:38:48.820
We always shoot for maybe buying one to skate and one to put on your wall.

02:38:48.820 --> 02:38:49.820
Love that.

02:38:49.820 --> 02:38:53.600
The weight is fantastic. Can you tell me a little bit more about the manufacturing process

02:38:53.600 --> 02:38:55.700
and what it takes to create one of these boards?

02:38:55.700 --> 02:39:01.120
Yeah, so we have a long running history as a skateboard company. We've been around for

02:39:01.120 --> 02:39:07.780
over 50 years. So, you know, we pour all that expertise into making the product. But on

02:39:07.780 --> 02:39:14.660
this product, we have, you know, we have holographic foils involved and like very

02:39:14.660 --> 02:39:20.300
specific printing processes and pro quality products.

02:39:20.300 --> 02:39:22.900
I also notice we have a package down here.

02:39:22.900 --> 02:39:23.900
Oh, okay.

02:39:23.900 --> 02:39:24.900
May I show this off?

02:39:24.900 --> 02:39:25.900
Yeah, absolutely.

02:39:25.900 --> 02:39:29.660
I think you mentioned that you actually handle packaging type things.

02:39:29.660 --> 02:39:32.420
So I want to know about this because I immediately saw it.

02:39:32.420 --> 02:39:34.100
I really like ripping packs.

02:39:34.100 --> 02:39:37.660
Yeah, she's really lucky too.

02:39:37.660 --> 02:39:40.940
It's become kind of the thing that we try to do up here, but I immediately saw that

02:39:40.940 --> 02:39:43.100
this looks like a card pack that I could open.

02:39:43.100 --> 02:39:44.100
Was that the thinking?

02:39:44.100 --> 02:39:48.100
That was one of the goals from the Pokemon side kind of from the beginning.

02:39:48.100 --> 02:39:54.100
Since we were doing something with the trading cards, we wanted to make it feel as much like an authentic trading card game experience as possible.

02:39:54.100 --> 02:40:01.100
And if you don't know what's in there, what better way to really showcase that than by making it feel a little bit more like a booster pack.

02:40:01.100 --> 02:40:07.100
And so we've included a lot of graphics from our boosters onto the front, including our trading card game brand look.

02:40:07.100 --> 02:40:11.100
If you look, we have like the eight inch skateboard mark up in the top right there.

02:40:11.100 --> 02:40:13.100
That's usually our little 6 plus.

02:40:13.100 --> 02:40:17.100
Yeah, we really tried to align it as much as possible with the boosters.

02:40:17.100 --> 02:40:18.100
Nice.

02:40:18.100 --> 02:40:20.100
It immediately communicated to me what it is.

02:40:20.100 --> 02:40:22.100
And then on the back, tell us what we're showing off here.

02:40:22.100 --> 02:40:27.100
That shows a quick little glimpse at all of the variants that are available.

02:40:27.100 --> 02:40:31.100
30 different boards to celebrate 30 years for Pokemon.

02:40:31.100 --> 02:40:35.100
And we see, look for three gold chase decks?

02:40:35.100 --> 02:40:36.100
What?

02:40:36.100 --> 02:40:38.100
Yeah, we're not quite ready to show those off.

02:40:38.100 --> 02:40:42.660
Then no looking, no peeking.

02:40:42.660 --> 02:40:48.020
What is the design process like in order to choose the different artwork because there's

02:40:48.020 --> 02:40:51.100
so much amazing artwork when it comes to TCG.

02:40:51.100 --> 02:40:54.340
How are you able to identify which ones you wanted to use in this collaboration?

02:40:54.340 --> 02:40:58.980
Yeah, so in this case we actually have a team within TPCI that specializes in product

02:40:58.980 --> 02:41:01.740
development and heavy knowledge of the cards.

02:41:01.740 --> 02:41:05.500
And those folks built the original list that we used to start the project.

02:41:05.500 --> 02:41:09.140
They wanted to include as much history of the card game as possible.

02:41:09.140 --> 02:41:13.140
So we've got a lot of fan favorite Pokemon in there represented, but we also have a lot

02:41:13.140 --> 02:41:19.020
of cards that represent really big important moments in the competitive play throughout

02:41:19.020 --> 02:41:20.100
the years.

02:41:20.100 --> 02:41:23.820
So we wanted to make sure that it would appeal to as much of our fan base as possible

02:41:23.820 --> 02:41:25.620
because everybody loves Pokemon.

02:41:25.620 --> 02:41:28.220
I also see the eras very well represented.

02:41:28.220 --> 02:41:34.020
I mean one of my favorite cards is this first edition dark espion, but we see we

02:41:34.020 --> 02:41:35.660
We have a volleyball down here.

02:41:35.660 --> 02:41:37.900
We're kind of all over the eras.

02:41:37.900 --> 02:41:41.100
Oh, and one of my favorite multiple EVs cards.

02:41:41.100 --> 02:41:43.420
So, yeah, I mean, fan favorites are represented for me,

02:41:43.420 --> 02:41:45.100
but it looks like also over time

02:41:45.100 --> 02:41:47.060
you wanted to kind of show the development, yeah?

02:41:47.060 --> 02:41:47.900
Yeah, absolutely.

02:41:47.900 --> 02:41:49.380
I mean, 30 decks for 30 years,

02:41:49.380 --> 02:41:52.660
but we know that our fans come from all eras of Pokemon,

02:41:52.660 --> 02:41:53.500
so we wanted to make sure

02:41:53.500 --> 02:41:56.220
that there was something in this collab for everybody.

02:41:56.220 --> 02:41:59.660
Wow, even like, I don't know if you can hear this.

02:41:59.660 --> 02:42:00.700
Ooh.

02:42:00.700 --> 02:42:01.820
You know that sound?

02:42:01.820 --> 02:42:02.660
Authentic.

02:42:02.660 --> 02:42:04.520
snapping sound when you pull the foil.

02:42:04.520 --> 02:42:06.120
It's even giving me that vibe.

02:42:06.120 --> 02:42:09.460
Do either of you have a favorite of the decks?

02:42:09.460 --> 02:42:12.700
I would say the Gengar is one of my favorites.

02:42:12.700 --> 02:42:14.620
I really like the Eevee deck.

02:42:14.620 --> 02:42:16.740
It just has such a mellow vibe to it.

02:42:16.740 --> 02:42:18.020
Yeah.

02:42:18.020 --> 02:42:19.460
See, I'd say that one's probably the favorite.

02:42:19.460 --> 02:42:21.480
Is that the one that has the Eevee in the Santa Cruz

02:42:21.480 --> 02:42:22.980
spot?

02:42:22.980 --> 02:42:26.780
So our whole Eevee series has a special Eevee Santa Cruz

02:42:26.780 --> 02:42:30.380
dot on the tail to kind of represent that series.

02:42:30.380 --> 02:42:35.180
But yeah, there's an EV deck that is like a serene forest scene,

02:42:35.180 --> 02:42:36.180
which is really cool.

02:42:36.180 --> 02:42:36.680
I love that.

02:42:36.680 --> 02:42:38.500
What about you?

02:42:38.500 --> 02:42:41.200
For me, the ones that stand out as my favorites

02:42:41.200 --> 02:42:43.900
are the ones that really focus on storytelling

02:42:43.900 --> 02:42:45.740
and showcasing something about the characters

02:42:45.740 --> 02:42:47.580
or about the card that folks might not

02:42:47.580 --> 02:42:49.380
have really anticipated.

02:42:49.380 --> 02:42:53.340
So I love the Glaceon deck.

02:42:53.340 --> 02:42:54.820
The designer that worked on that

02:42:54.820 --> 02:42:57.140
did a fantastic job of creating a background that

02:42:57.140 --> 02:42:59.380
really feels like it goes with the card

02:42:59.380 --> 02:43:03.340
kind of expands upon the story of it in an interesting way and then the Iona's

02:43:03.340 --> 02:43:07.940
belly bolt I think is really a really great example of that character not just

02:43:07.940 --> 02:43:12.700
the Pokemon but also Iona as a trainer. How did it expand on the Glaceon? I haven't

02:43:12.700 --> 02:43:15.920
seen that one or do you want people to just look for themselves? I would love if

02:43:15.920 --> 02:43:19.300
people like took a look at it for themselves sure but honestly it's

02:43:19.300 --> 02:43:23.340
it's taking what is a scene that's been developed within the card and

02:43:23.340 --> 02:43:27.340
and finding a way to take the feeling of that

02:43:27.340 --> 02:43:31.040
and blow it up onto a skate deck and make it that size

02:43:31.040 --> 02:43:34.640
without reproducing what is already happening on the cards.

02:43:34.640 --> 02:43:36.740
We really wanted to honor that original artwork

02:43:36.740 --> 02:43:39.240
and that original storytelling by doing something

02:43:39.240 --> 02:43:41.340
that just kind of takes that vibe

02:43:41.340 --> 02:43:43.640
and carries it a little further.

02:43:43.640 --> 02:43:46.540
Now, Tauhto, a little bit more about Santa Cruz

02:43:46.540 --> 02:43:49.040
and really the cultural impact that skateboarding has had

02:43:49.040 --> 02:43:50.540
because in our generation,

02:43:50.540 --> 02:43:53.240
we have grown up with kind of that hand-in-hand video game

02:43:53.240 --> 02:43:57.240
and skateboarding, and now we get to incorporate Pokemon as well.

02:43:57.240 --> 02:44:02.240
Yeah, I mean, I think skateboarding is part of pop culture, you know, and I think there's easy crossover

02:44:02.240 --> 02:44:07.240
that we can always connect the dots between partners like Pokemon,

02:44:07.240 --> 02:44:14.240
and we just have a lot of crossover on fans as well, so I think it's like a natural partnership for us.

02:44:14.240 --> 02:44:17.240
And we've been having a lot of fans check out the Halfpipe here.

02:44:17.240 --> 02:44:23.680
Doug, especially for Poco on XP, what has this event been like for you and to see these decks

02:44:23.680 --> 02:44:26.600
come to life, but also people using them here on the Half-Life?

02:44:26.600 --> 02:44:28.920
I mean, it's awesome.

02:44:28.920 --> 02:44:33.420
Not only getting to see fans interact with them, witness them firsthand, but also then

02:44:33.420 --> 02:44:37.480
get to see someone, like a pro skater actually riding on one of the decks.

02:44:37.480 --> 02:44:41.800
I think for me it's kind of like a really cool culmination of the entire project.

02:44:41.800 --> 02:44:44.800
We expect that some people will buy the decks, collect them, hang them on the

02:44:44.800 --> 02:44:45.800
wall.

02:44:45.800 --> 02:44:52.080
The fact that we already have people up front before the products even out already writing on them makes me so happy

02:44:52.080 --> 02:44:56.080
I just love the idea that we can have collectors. We could have skaters

02:44:56.080 --> 02:45:02.520
We could have every fan of Pokemon and Santa Cruz engaging in this co-lab. It just makes me really excited

02:45:02.520 --> 02:45:07.900
Have there been any specific tricks or moments or specific skaters that have come through?

02:45:07.900 --> 02:45:12.100
You know our friends watching from home may not have actually gotten to stand and watch here at

02:45:12.100 --> 02:45:15.580
at ours a little skate park so that have there been any highlights that you would want to share?

02:45:15.580 --> 02:45:21.780
I mean, I'm sorry. No go ahead. I was gonna say I mean having pros like Tom Asta and Martin McCoy

02:45:21.780 --> 02:45:27.940
here was a huge win for us and then yesterday having all the little kids skate as well was

02:45:27.940 --> 02:45:32.900
really cool to watch. Yeah definitely having the littles come out is my favorite moment not

02:45:32.900 --> 02:45:37.780
only because you get to see them rip and awesome tricks but also because so many of our fans

02:45:37.780 --> 02:45:42.980
are really young and getting to stand around here yesterday and have all of these small children kind

02:45:42.980 --> 02:45:48.500
of come up and just be awed by these other kids doing awesome things was really inspiring. I was in

02:45:48.500 --> 02:45:53.220
day zero we saw a couple tricks during rehearsal I was like oh my gosh that's happening right behind

02:45:53.220 --> 02:45:57.700
us the entire time I'm definitely sticking around and that interview we had with Alex grateful for

02:45:57.700 --> 02:46:01.780
his time as well from Santa Cruz I'd like to dive deeper into what your experience has been so

02:46:01.780 --> 02:46:06.100
far here at Pokemon XP there is so much to experience Tyler have you been able to go to

02:46:06.100 --> 02:46:09.180
to some of the different booths or activations here in San Francisco?

02:46:09.180 --> 02:46:11.100
Yeah, it's been an incredible experience.

02:46:11.100 --> 02:46:13.700
I've gotten to walk all of the events.

02:46:13.700 --> 02:46:16.300
And really, I mean, the biggest takeaway for me

02:46:16.300 --> 02:46:18.020
is just the overwhelming positivity

02:46:18.020 --> 02:46:19.860
that you feel from all the fans.

02:46:19.860 --> 02:46:23.660
Everyone just seems excited and just having a good time.

02:46:23.660 --> 02:46:25.900
And Doug, this is the first ever Pokemon XP.

02:46:25.900 --> 02:46:26.860
We're on day three.

02:46:26.860 --> 02:46:29.260
So far it's been a fantastic experience.

02:46:29.260 --> 02:46:30.780
What's it been like for you?

02:46:30.780 --> 02:46:31.620
It's been awesome.

02:46:31.620 --> 02:46:33.620
I feel like you said it right there.

02:46:33.620 --> 02:46:36.620
Honestly, for me, coming from the TBCI side,

02:46:36.620 --> 02:46:39.620
getting to see the work that so many people have put in

02:46:39.620 --> 02:46:42.020
over the course of years, leading up to this

02:46:42.020 --> 02:46:43.700
and getting to see our fans enjoying it

02:46:43.700 --> 02:46:45.300
and actually existing in the space

02:46:45.300 --> 02:46:47.300
and interacting with it,

02:46:47.300 --> 02:46:49.620
there's nothing really that tops that.

02:46:49.620 --> 02:46:51.380
Have you had any specific moments

02:46:51.380 --> 02:46:52.420
that have really touched you

02:46:52.420 --> 02:46:55.020
or that you think are gonna stick with you as a memory?

02:46:56.780 --> 02:46:59.540
I think that's, there's so many small moments,

02:46:59.540 --> 02:47:01.900
especially with us being back here handing out stickers.

02:47:01.900 --> 02:47:04.680
Like we've all, everybody from the TPCI side

02:47:04.680 --> 02:47:07.220
and Santa Cruz side who have been working on this co-lab

02:47:07.220 --> 02:47:09.220
have been a part of the team handing out stickers.

02:47:09.220 --> 02:47:10.980
So we've all had the opportunity to interact

02:47:10.980 --> 02:47:13.420
with so many fans over the last several days.

02:47:13.420 --> 02:47:16.460
So many people are excited about so many different things.

02:47:16.460 --> 02:47:18.120
There's not like one standout moment

02:47:18.120 --> 02:47:21.160
so much as just this sea of positive vibes

02:47:21.160 --> 02:47:23.020
from different people throughout the weekend.

02:47:23.020 --> 02:47:24.100
That makes a lot of sense.

02:47:24.100 --> 02:47:25.800
You mentioned stickers.

02:47:25.800 --> 02:47:28.140
And I know a lot of people are watching,

02:47:28.140 --> 02:47:29.940
trying to make sure that they get a hold

02:47:29.940 --> 02:47:32.220
of all the fun things that they may be able to collect here.

02:47:32.220 --> 02:47:33.940
Can you tell us what you're giving away?

02:47:33.940 --> 02:47:37.020
Our team is giving away a custom sticker

02:47:37.020 --> 02:47:43.580
that has the Screaming Hand Pokemon TCG card back design

02:47:43.580 --> 02:47:45.380
that we created for this co-lab.

02:47:45.380 --> 02:47:48.100
And so those are available near our activation.

02:47:48.100 --> 02:47:48.860
Awesome.

02:47:48.860 --> 02:47:49.980
Just come up and ask for one?

02:47:49.980 --> 02:47:51.020
Yeah, absolutely.

02:47:51.020 --> 02:47:53.100
So people be handing them out.

02:47:53.100 --> 02:47:53.460
Yeah.

02:47:53.460 --> 02:47:53.900
Right.

02:47:53.900 --> 02:47:54.260
Yeah.

02:47:54.260 --> 02:47:56.620
I'd like to dive a little bit deeper into the design process,

02:47:56.620 --> 02:47:58.860
especially maybe the focus group or the feedback

02:47:58.860 --> 02:48:01.820
you would get across multiple generations of Pokemon

02:48:01.820 --> 02:48:03.780
and multiple generations of people.

02:48:03.780 --> 02:48:06.020
So Tyler, is that kind of more on the Santa Cruz side?

02:48:06.020 --> 02:48:08.220
We're like, you know what, we really want this character

02:48:08.220 --> 02:48:09.860
or does Pokemon take the lead?

02:48:09.860 --> 02:48:11.140
Or do you guys just kind of meet in the middle

02:48:11.140 --> 02:48:14.100
and think like, everybody wants this, let's make it happen?

02:48:14.100 --> 02:48:15.780
It's a little bit of all of that.

02:48:15.780 --> 02:48:17.620
I think there's certain aspects

02:48:17.620 --> 02:48:20.220
that we really need to lean on the Pokemon side

02:48:20.220 --> 02:48:22.860
to be the experts and make those decisions

02:48:22.860 --> 02:48:25.860
and know their own sort of history.

02:48:25.860 --> 02:48:27.060
And then there's other things

02:48:27.060 --> 02:48:28.660
where Santa Cruz wants to make sure

02:48:28.660 --> 02:48:32.100
that we're honoring our brand and legacy as well.

02:48:32.100 --> 02:48:34.340
And yeah, it was very collaborative.

02:48:34.340 --> 02:48:38.180
We would, we had an open floor for positive

02:48:38.180 --> 02:48:40.900
and negative feedback whenever we needed it.

02:48:40.900 --> 02:48:41.740
Yeah.

02:48:41.740 --> 02:48:42.940
You mentioned the Santa Cruz legacy.

02:48:42.940 --> 02:48:45.180
And I think we've been spending a lot of time talking

02:48:45.180 --> 02:48:46.440
about the 30 years of Pokemon.

02:48:46.440 --> 02:48:48.260
But if people aren't familiar with Santa Cruz,

02:48:48.260 --> 02:48:50.100
can you tell us a little bit about that history?

02:48:50.100 --> 02:48:50.940
Yeah.

02:48:50.940 --> 02:48:54.420
So Santa Cruz skateboard started in 1973.

02:48:54.420 --> 02:48:55.260
Wow.

02:48:55.260 --> 02:49:02.700
we just had our 50th in 2023 when we did our first collab with Pokemon and yeah

02:49:03.260 --> 02:49:09.900
privately owned company always has been in Santa Cruz and it's like the longest running like pro

02:49:09.900 --> 02:49:16.140
skateboard company in the world. Wow cool. At 30 years of Pokemon I'm sure you have a number of

02:49:16.140 --> 02:49:20.300
memories when it comes to Pokemon. Do you have any particular memories that I've stuck with

02:49:20.300 --> 02:49:22.300
you throughout this entire legacy?

02:49:22.300 --> 02:49:23.300
For Pokemon?

02:49:23.300 --> 02:49:24.300
For Pokemon.

02:49:24.300 --> 02:49:26.300
I mean, this to me is like the highlight.

02:49:26.300 --> 02:49:30.300
Honestly, it's hard to top this whole moment right now.

02:49:30.300 --> 02:49:32.300
It kind of overshadows everything for me.

02:49:32.300 --> 02:49:36.300
But yeah, I would just say right now, this weekend has been a blur.

02:49:36.300 --> 02:49:38.300
Honestly, I can't believe it's Sunday already.

02:49:38.300 --> 02:49:39.300
Yeah.

02:49:39.300 --> 02:49:45.300
But yeah, just really excited to talk to the crew again about what we could do next.

02:49:45.300 --> 02:49:46.300
And now for you, Doug.

02:49:46.300 --> 02:49:47.300
Same question.

02:49:47.300 --> 02:49:49.660
Across these 30 years, what has been the biggest impact

02:49:49.660 --> 02:49:51.620
in the world of Pokemon for you?

02:49:51.620 --> 02:49:53.740
I mean, there's so many, honestly,

02:49:53.740 --> 02:49:56.300
but I think back to like 2016,

02:49:56.300 --> 02:50:00.140
when we had like our 25th anniversary

02:50:00.140 --> 02:50:01.920
and Pokemon Go launched,

02:50:01.920 --> 02:50:05.100
and it was just such this huge moment for the brand,

02:50:05.100 --> 02:50:06.060
and everything since then

02:50:06.060 --> 02:50:08.140
has been a little bit of a roller coaster,

02:50:08.140 --> 02:50:10.300
but ever since that point,

02:50:10.300 --> 02:50:12.060
we've been focusing on what can we do next,

02:50:12.060 --> 02:50:14.220
what can we do better, how can we improve things.

02:50:14.220 --> 02:50:16.140
And so that particular moment in time

02:50:16.140 --> 02:50:18.140
really stands out for me.

02:50:18.140 --> 02:50:22.020
2016, we were here in San Francisco for Worlds, I believe,

02:50:22.020 --> 02:50:24.660
and a really cool nostalgic memory for me as well.

02:50:24.660 --> 02:50:27.260
That was my first time that I came to an event like this.

02:50:27.260 --> 02:50:28.980
And there are some people watching at home

02:50:28.980 --> 02:50:32.020
who have never been to a gathering of Pokemon fans

02:50:32.020 --> 02:50:32.700
like this.

02:50:32.700 --> 02:50:35.180
And you mentioned this feeling of overwhelming joy.

02:50:35.180 --> 02:50:36.860
I feel like that's been something that's really

02:50:36.860 --> 02:50:37.940
been hitting me as well.

02:50:37.940 --> 02:50:40.340
If someone at home was like, just tell me what it's like.

02:50:40.340 --> 02:50:41.420
Like, what is it like to be there?

02:50:41.420 --> 02:50:42.980
What does it feel like?

02:50:42.980 --> 02:50:44.420
How would you summarize what it's

02:50:44.420 --> 02:50:46.280
I'd like to be at an event like this.

02:50:51.140 --> 02:50:52.500
It's fantastic.

02:50:52.500 --> 02:50:55.660
I mean, you can't talk this many people coming together

02:50:55.660 --> 02:50:58.700
in one place just to celebrate a shared joy

02:50:58.700 --> 02:51:00.780
around something positive, right?

02:51:00.780 --> 02:51:04.740
It's Pokemon is a brand that is more about

02:51:04.740 --> 02:51:06.580
the people enjoying it than it is

02:51:06.580 --> 02:51:08.740
about what we're actually making.

02:51:08.740 --> 02:51:10.540
Everything that we do in our decision-making

02:51:10.540 --> 02:51:12.700
is focused on those people

02:51:12.700 --> 02:51:16.940
and how it's going to improve that joy or their ability to share it with other people.

02:51:16.940 --> 02:51:19.980
Interesting. That is a really cool concept. Can you expand on that?

02:51:19.980 --> 02:51:23.820
Like, what does that mean when you're developing things that is more about how people experience it

02:51:23.820 --> 02:51:25.740
than what you're actually making?

02:51:25.740 --> 02:51:30.780
Yeah, it's about creating great interactions for the fans, great moments,

02:51:30.780 --> 02:51:34.300
great opportunities for them to connect with other people, other fans,

02:51:34.300 --> 02:51:38.540
great opportunities for them to engage with folks that maybe aren't fans yet,

02:51:38.540 --> 02:51:42.220
but to then take this great positive thing and bring it to them,

02:51:42.220 --> 02:51:44.920
and hopefully, you know, enhance their lives,

02:51:44.920 --> 02:51:47.020
like bring a little bit of joy to them as well.

02:51:47.020 --> 02:51:47.720
Absolutely.

02:51:47.720 --> 02:51:51.960
In the interview, Alex mentioned that in the past,

02:51:51.960 --> 02:51:54.720
it maybe has felt like our interests have to be very siloed,

02:51:54.720 --> 02:51:57.460
like you're either a skater or you're a Pokemon fan,

02:51:57.460 --> 02:52:00.160
or the example was you like punk music.

02:52:00.160 --> 02:52:02.960
And I think they were saying it's a lot easier

02:52:02.960 --> 02:52:04.460
to be all of those things right now,

02:52:04.460 --> 02:52:07.560
to just experience all the things you love together.

02:52:07.560 --> 02:52:09.520
I've been feeling that way here on Rayquaza Road,

02:52:09.520 --> 02:52:14.520
like we're talking fashion, music, dance, skating.

02:52:14.520 --> 02:52:16.120
Have you guys experienced that as well?

02:52:16.120 --> 02:52:19.360
That it feels like you can kind of be all of the things you

02:52:19.360 --> 02:52:21.160
love at this kind of event?

02:52:21.160 --> 02:52:21.560
I think so.

02:52:21.560 --> 02:52:23.160
I mean, I think looking around, I just

02:52:23.160 --> 02:52:28.120
see there's a wide variety of people, diverse backgrounds.

02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:31.360
And I think that that plays into what people might also

02:52:31.360 --> 02:52:34.680
be into besides Pokemon, besides skateboarding.

02:52:34.680 --> 02:52:38.240
It's pretty obvious that it's not just one type of person.

02:52:39.520 --> 02:52:46.160
Now, I have some notes here that were put in front of me, and it says, Mystery Deck,

02:52:46.160 --> 02:52:47.920
and then someone wrote Open at the end.

02:52:47.920 --> 02:52:48.920
That's right.

02:52:48.920 --> 02:52:49.920
Is that?

02:52:49.920 --> 02:52:50.920
I just happen to notice this note.

02:52:50.920 --> 02:52:51.920
Oh yeah.

02:52:51.920 --> 02:52:54.920
You have the best luck, I think, of everybody at the desk, so we're going to have to do

02:52:54.920 --> 02:52:55.920
the honors.

02:52:55.920 --> 02:52:56.920
I'm opening it.

02:52:56.920 --> 02:52:59.320
You were just talking about opening boosters, so here's your opportunity to open the

02:52:59.320 --> 02:53:00.320
biggest one of the weekend.

02:53:00.320 --> 02:53:01.320
I did not.

02:53:01.320 --> 02:53:02.320
I did not know.

02:53:02.320 --> 02:53:06.520
I genuinely did not know that this was going to happen, and I am really, really?

02:53:06.520 --> 02:53:07.520
Yeah.

02:53:07.520 --> 02:53:08.520
Okay.

02:53:08.520 --> 02:53:11.520
cut it at the top a little bit just to hopefully make it easier.

02:53:11.520 --> 02:53:14.520
I'll move it right next to the mic so you can hear it.

02:53:14.520 --> 02:53:16.520
Yeah.

02:53:16.520 --> 02:53:20.520
Yeah, all right. So I'm opening the foil, such as it were.

02:53:20.520 --> 02:53:21.520
Yep.

02:53:21.520 --> 02:53:23.520
And then we've got a wrapped board inside.

02:53:23.520 --> 02:53:24.520
Yep.

02:53:24.520 --> 02:53:25.520
Yep.

02:53:25.520 --> 02:53:26.520
Wrapped inside.

02:53:26.520 --> 02:53:28.520
Comes with a booklet.

02:53:28.520 --> 02:53:29.520
Yeah, yeah.

02:53:29.520 --> 02:53:33.520
So folks that are familiar with the ETBs, you probably have a good idea of what's

02:53:33.520 --> 02:53:34.520
inside that booklet.

02:53:34.520 --> 02:53:36.520
We've got a checklist in there of all of the decks.

02:53:36.520 --> 02:53:43.040
We also have some information on the release the history of Pokemon some great photos. It's it's a fun piece

02:53:43.300 --> 02:53:47.340
That is so cool. Should we look through that now or should we open the board first? Let's open the board

02:53:47.340 --> 02:53:51.360
Yeah, it's what the people want. It's wrapped like a like a gift. Yeah

02:53:52.640 --> 02:53:55.040
That's some strong tape on there. Oh, don't worry

02:53:57.560 --> 02:53:59.480
That has been

02:53:59.480 --> 02:54:05.080
One of the highlights of this show for me as I say that and I'm like to talk with this piece of tape

02:54:05.080 --> 02:54:13.200
I was overconfident because it wraps around it's okay. I've got it. It's it's about the strats. Yeah, the tape's not the meta

02:54:13.200 --> 02:54:15.200
There we go the meta of the tape

02:54:16.000 --> 02:54:18.000
Well, this is impeccable

02:54:18.640 --> 02:54:23.440
Wrapping of course to keep it safe, but also the experience for everybody once they get their board

02:54:24.640 --> 02:54:29.280
Yeah, exactly. I want to take a long time opening it. That's what makes it so exciting. All right. Are you ready?

02:54:32.800 --> 02:54:34.800
Here's the front

02:54:35.080 --> 02:54:39.080
Oh, I freaked. I saw them before you guys. I'm so excited.

02:54:39.080 --> 02:54:40.080
I didn't see, I didn't see.

02:54:40.080 --> 02:54:41.080
Oh, yeah.

02:54:41.080 --> 02:54:42.080
It's Dragapult!

02:54:43.080 --> 02:54:50.080
Dragapult is a favorite of mine. I have a whole page in my TCG binder, and in fact just added this card to my collection.

02:54:50.080 --> 02:54:51.080
That's fantastic.

02:54:51.080 --> 02:54:54.080
It is a favorite of mine. It is so beautiful.

02:54:54.080 --> 02:54:58.080
And you mentioned how you went about producing art around the cards that complemented it.

02:54:58.080 --> 02:55:01.080
Tell us about the art that's around this Dragapult.

02:55:01.080 --> 02:55:04.640
So yeah, we had a group of illustrators and designers

02:55:04.640 --> 02:55:08.280
that all contributed across the different decks.

02:55:08.280 --> 02:55:11.160
But yeah, this one, like Doug was saying,

02:55:11.160 --> 02:55:14.480
it's not just as simple as just taking the card art

02:55:14.480 --> 02:55:15.800
and pulling it out.

02:55:15.800 --> 02:55:18.000
Some of it is more inspired by the artwork

02:55:18.000 --> 02:55:19.920
or by the original artist.

02:55:19.920 --> 02:55:21.160
This is so, so cool.

02:55:21.160 --> 02:55:25.040
And I think maybe opening on stage with you

02:55:25.040 --> 02:55:26.200
is my good luck because-

02:55:26.200 --> 02:55:27.920
Perhaps, I'll stick around.

02:55:27.920 --> 02:55:30.000
This is one of the ones I absolutely

02:55:30.000 --> 02:55:31.200
would have been hoping to pull.

02:55:31.200 --> 02:55:32.960
So thank you so much for joining us.

02:55:32.960 --> 02:55:35.160
Thank you for letting me open the board.

02:55:35.160 --> 02:55:36.480
I really appreciate that.

02:55:36.480 --> 02:55:38.320
Where should people look for more

02:55:38.320 --> 02:55:40.300
from Santa Cruz and TPCI together?

02:55:41.180 --> 02:55:43.280
I mean, for this release,

02:55:43.280 --> 02:55:46.080
which will be coming out later this year,

02:55:46.080 --> 02:55:48.580
you can go to SantaCruiseSkateboards.com

02:55:48.580 --> 02:55:50.400
or the Pokemon Center.

02:55:50.400 --> 02:55:51.240
Awesome.

02:55:51.240 --> 02:55:53.240
Well, thank you so much for spending your time with us.

02:55:53.240 --> 02:55:54.320
We really appreciate it.

02:55:54.320 --> 02:55:56.240
We hope you enjoy the rest of Pokemon XP.

02:55:56.240 --> 02:55:58.360
I will be by for a sticker later.

02:55:58.360 --> 02:56:01.840
But right now, we have a little bit of a video visiting the TCG Pocket booth.

02:56:01.840 --> 02:56:02.520
Let's check it out.

02:56:12.520 --> 02:56:17.760
So I was just walking by the Pokemon TCG Pocket booth when I got a mission from the boss.

02:56:18.000 --> 02:56:20.640
Looks like they've got a bit of a puzzle situation over here.

02:56:21.600 --> 02:56:22.720
I want to take a closer look.

02:56:24.240 --> 02:56:26.480
I'm so, I'm so sorry here.

02:56:26.480 --> 02:56:27.360
I'm on a little mission.

02:56:27.360 --> 02:56:30.600
Could I perhaps pay you to wait a moment or two?

02:56:30.600 --> 02:56:31.040
Sure.

02:56:31.040 --> 02:56:31.720
Well, I may be.

02:56:31.720 --> 02:56:34.320
Is it all right if I pop into the line here with this piece?

02:56:34.320 --> 02:56:36.520
So I'm so sorry to waste your time.

02:56:36.520 --> 02:56:37.080
Thank you.

02:56:37.080 --> 02:56:37.680
Thank you.

02:56:37.680 --> 02:56:38.200
Thank you.

02:56:38.200 --> 02:56:40.240
Of course.

02:56:40.240 --> 02:56:43.800
Don't tell nobody what I gave you.

02:56:43.800 --> 02:56:46.480
We're on a scene, and you can get through it.

02:56:46.480 --> 02:56:47.440
I got to get three.

02:56:47.440 --> 02:56:48.440
You got to get three.

02:56:48.440 --> 02:56:52.200
If you hear the four dogs, all four dogs, boom.

02:56:52.200 --> 02:56:53.240
I'm no Voltor.

02:56:53.240 --> 02:56:54.600
You're going to tell me where the Voltor is.

02:56:54.600 --> 02:56:55.440
Where's the Voltor?

02:56:55.440 --> 02:57:00.120
Yeah, but where is the vote for?

02:57:00.120 --> 02:57:02.120
You don't want to find it.

02:57:02.120 --> 02:57:05.240
You want to get it three and don't go over.

02:57:05.240 --> 02:57:06.400
Do I start with two?

02:57:06.400 --> 02:57:07.520
No, we don't vote two.

02:57:07.520 --> 02:57:08.280
Unbelievable.

02:57:08.280 --> 02:57:09.500
You gotta shuffle it like this.

02:57:09.500 --> 02:57:10.000
Shuffle it.

02:57:10.000 --> 02:57:10.500
Shuffle it.

02:57:10.500 --> 02:57:11.000
I'm not gonna lie.

02:57:11.000 --> 02:57:11.500
I'm not gonna lie.

02:57:11.500 --> 02:57:12.000
I'm not gonna lie.

02:57:12.000 --> 02:57:12.500
I'm not gonna lie.

02:57:12.500 --> 02:57:13.440
Shuffle it.

02:57:13.440 --> 02:57:14.680
I'm gonna go over here.

02:57:14.680 --> 02:57:17.680
Now, watch this.

02:57:17.680 --> 02:57:19.600
I just shuffled it.

02:57:19.600 --> 02:57:20.400
Incredible.

02:57:20.400 --> 02:57:20.960
Yes.

02:57:20.960 --> 02:57:24.040
So the boss wants me to add up to three.

02:57:24.040 --> 02:57:24.920
Up to three.

02:57:24.920 --> 02:57:26.120
That's no problem, watch.

02:57:26.120 --> 02:57:26.960
Can you do that?

02:57:26.960 --> 02:57:28.580
Let's see.

02:57:28.580 --> 02:57:31.580
One, da da da.

02:57:31.580 --> 02:57:32.800
All right.

02:57:32.800 --> 02:57:34.040
Then two more.

02:57:37.040 --> 02:57:38.120
Oh!

02:57:38.120 --> 02:57:39.880
All right, give it up.

02:57:39.880 --> 02:57:42.200
You got three.

02:57:42.200 --> 02:57:44.120
Yay!

02:57:44.120 --> 02:57:45.320
Thank you.

02:57:45.320 --> 02:57:47.320
High five.

02:57:47.320 --> 02:57:48.320
Come on, man.

02:57:48.320 --> 02:57:49.320
To the rock.

02:57:49.320 --> 02:57:51.920
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

02:57:51.920 --> 02:57:52.680
That was easy.

02:57:52.680 --> 02:57:53.680
That was.

02:57:53.680 --> 02:57:55.220
Another player!

02:57:55.220 --> 02:57:56.560
There's another challenge?

02:57:56.560 --> 02:57:57.860
There is another challenge!

02:57:57.860 --> 02:57:59.060
What do I have to do here?

02:57:59.060 --> 02:58:01.060
Well, you have to press the start button.

02:58:02.360 --> 02:58:03.860
Very good.

02:58:03.860 --> 02:58:04.520
What are these?

02:58:04.520 --> 02:58:10.260
I'll see if I mentally think of a card and it's shuffle.

02:58:10.260 --> 02:58:11.660
Do I have to tell you what card?

02:58:11.660 --> 02:58:13.560
You don't have to tell me.

02:58:13.560 --> 02:58:14.640
I got my card in mind.

02:58:14.640 --> 02:58:16.540
All right, let's shuffle.

02:58:16.540 --> 02:58:18.840
Oh, it's a trace.

02:58:18.840 --> 02:58:20.640
By the powers of Pokemon,

02:58:20.640 --> 02:58:25.200
You will mentally think of your card and click on one of these.

02:58:25.200 --> 02:58:30.080
If you're plotting your card, if you're plotting your card, isn't coming up.

02:58:30.080 --> 02:58:32.800
That's what I picked?

02:58:32.800 --> 02:58:35.680
That was the card that I picked. How did you know that I picked that?

02:58:35.680 --> 02:58:38.400
You are amazing psychic.

02:58:38.400 --> 02:58:40.400
You are the power of Pokemon.

02:58:41.920 --> 02:58:44.080
I'm in trouble. I don't want to go in there.

02:58:44.080 --> 02:58:46.080
Just let them calm down for a minute.

02:58:50.640 --> 02:58:57.640
He looks a little mad.

02:58:57.640 --> 02:58:58.640
Oh, he's gone.

02:58:58.640 --> 02:58:59.640
Come on.

02:58:59.640 --> 02:59:00.640
Come on.

02:59:00.640 --> 02:59:01.640
I want to show you the office.

02:59:01.640 --> 02:59:02.640
He gets a seat.

02:59:02.640 --> 02:59:03.640
Ha ha.

02:59:03.640 --> 02:59:04.640
Mine the desk.

02:59:04.640 --> 02:59:12.640
And see what it's like to be the boss for once.

02:59:12.640 --> 02:59:19.640
Looks like the boss has left a couple packs lying around.

02:59:19.640 --> 02:59:31.240
I'll spend some of his hourglass, if he won't mind.

02:59:31.240 --> 02:59:36.240
Never the first one.

02:59:36.240 --> 02:59:37.240
Oh!

02:59:37.240 --> 02:59:49.600
Well, that was a pretty productive visit to Team Rocket HQ over near at the TCG.

02:59:49.600 --> 02:59:53.760
pocket booth. I think the boss is pretty pleased with me. Back to you guys.

03:00:01.440 --> 03:00:06.960
Hello and welcome back to the stage here at Pokemon XP. I am Anna. I'm joined by Rachel and

03:00:06.960 --> 03:00:11.840
Glitter. Welcome back to the desk, my friends, and a new friend here. Please introduce yourself

03:00:11.840 --> 03:00:15.760
to the people at home. Tell them what you do. My name is Julian Enzaloni and I'm a production

03:00:15.760 --> 03:00:18.460
multi-media assistant for Scytra Collectibles.

03:00:18.460 --> 03:00:19.760
What does that mean you do?

03:00:19.760 --> 03:00:24.160
So I create all the production videos for our marketing department,

03:00:24.160 --> 03:00:31.360
and we create high-end 3D collectible statues based on a lot of Pokémons characters.

03:00:31.360 --> 03:00:34.060
I have actually been down there at your booth.

03:00:34.060 --> 03:00:37.360
I had a great time, a huge fan of what you guys make,

03:00:37.360 --> 03:00:40.060
and Evie is my favorite Pokémon.

03:00:40.060 --> 03:00:43.160
I was just talking about how I was down there,

03:00:43.160 --> 03:00:50.360
And I learned that Pikachu and Eevee being exactly their, I think, Pokedex size.

03:00:50.360 --> 03:00:55.680
Yes, their life-size figures. Those are their only two life-size pieces that we've created, and they're beautiful.

03:00:55.680 --> 03:00:58.760
They're so gorgeous, and I was so impressed, and I was like,

03:00:58.760 --> 03:01:02.040
I thought Eevee was a little bigger compared to Pikachu, and I was explained that

03:01:02.040 --> 03:01:07.800
Pikachu and the Pokedex is measured from head to toes, and Eevee is measured from ear to toes.

03:01:07.800 --> 03:01:13.200
So I learned from your statues about my favorite Pokémon that she is exactly the same size as my dog.

03:01:14.700 --> 03:01:16.100
All four paws, one palm.

03:01:16.100 --> 03:01:17.500
Yes, absolutely.

03:01:17.500 --> 03:01:18.500
They're so beautiful.

03:01:18.500 --> 03:01:21.400
Tell us about the production process of making statues like that.

03:01:21.400 --> 03:01:22.200
Oh man, yeah.

03:01:22.200 --> 03:01:24.500
We have, it's a very long development process.

03:01:24.500 --> 03:01:27.500
So each project takes around 10 to 14 months to create.

03:01:27.800 --> 03:01:33.100
And our concert designer sketches out a few statues with their respective bases.

03:01:33.100 --> 03:01:35.500
So depending on the environment that she wants to show them in.

03:01:35.500 --> 03:01:40.200
And after sketching those out in 2D, we send those over to our 3D digital sculptors.

03:01:40.200 --> 03:01:43.600
They digitally sculpt those out, and then we 3D print each piece.

03:01:43.600 --> 03:01:48.400
Then we kind of like clean them up, get them primed, ready for paint,

03:01:48.400 --> 03:01:52.100
and then it's the job of the painters to bring that vibrancy of the purple wall to life.

03:01:52.100 --> 03:01:55.200
And that takes around also one to two months.

03:01:55.200 --> 03:01:59.500
And at the end you get the final statues that you have seen downstairs.

03:01:59.500 --> 03:02:02.700
I mean, it's such a beautiful representation of each character.

03:02:02.700 --> 03:02:08.880
even from the life-sized characters from Pikachu and Eevee to our like Charizard statue or to our new

03:02:09.420 --> 03:02:12.180
Presented Gengar diorama. It's so beautiful

03:02:15.180 --> 03:02:22.300
Yeah, that's a brand new piece as well as our Mewtwo and I think both statues just capture such a

03:02:22.640 --> 03:02:29.340
energy for the Gengar trio or for the trio of Ghost Pokemon and for Mewtwo and then having that little Mew down at the

03:02:29.340 --> 03:02:33.900
bottom it's so awesome. I want to talk about each of these because I think you

03:02:33.900 --> 03:02:37.260
have been down there as well and seen them but just before we move on from

03:02:37.260 --> 03:02:40.820
the production process I think I was talking to your 2D illustrator. Yeah

03:02:40.820 --> 03:02:45.060
Rachel yeah. Yeah Rachel and they mentioned that each of the flowers

03:02:45.060 --> 03:02:50.340
around the base of Eevee is actually representative of one of the Eevee

03:02:50.340 --> 03:02:55.740
evolution. Yeah so Rachel is a huge huge fan of Pokémon and I love that

03:02:55.740 --> 03:02:58.780
she was able to incorporate just a little Easter egg and like you said

03:02:58.780 --> 03:03:03.160
each flower represents a different EV evolution and you can actually take the

03:03:03.160 --> 03:03:07.060
flower that EVs paws about to step on you can change that for a different color

03:03:07.060 --> 03:03:12.180
so it like almost like inferring the next transfer into EVs evolution it's so

03:03:12.180 --> 03:03:24.780
amazing. If your artist she gets to make decisions like that about how these

03:03:24.780 --> 03:03:27.740
Pokemon are kind of represented in the base and in the space what's that

03:03:27.740 --> 03:03:32.940
process like her. So for sure she gets to make her decisions but it's all hands on

03:03:32.940 --> 03:03:36.500
deck too with working with the Pokemon company International like we cannot

03:03:36.500 --> 03:03:41.340
just make anything we want so it this goes hand-in-hand in this companionship

03:03:41.340 --> 03:03:45.560
working with them and so she gets references from the Pokemon team she

03:03:45.560 --> 03:03:50.740
provides her own knowledge that she has of each Pokemon and so for her it's

03:03:50.740 --> 03:03:55.460
really putting her passion and love into each statue as well but that

03:03:55.460 --> 03:04:01.000
It doesn't go without, of course, incorporating the Pokemon team into it, but it's truly amazing

03:04:01.000 --> 03:04:06.400
to be working with them and to have such, like, just a companionship and just have so

03:04:06.400 --> 03:04:12.200
much just love for our statues as well as we do, so it's been really amazing to work.

03:04:12.200 --> 03:04:16.480
Just real quick, because I'm obsessed with your statue.

03:04:16.480 --> 03:04:20.880
Specifically talking about working with the Pokemon company, each of the flowers not

03:04:20.880 --> 03:04:24.840
only are a color that represent each of the evolutions, but she told me it is actually

03:04:24.840 --> 03:04:29.480
the Pantone exact color for each of those evolutions

03:04:29.480 --> 03:04:32.320
and the center of the flower is the exact Pantone color

03:04:32.320 --> 03:04:34.000
of Eevee's fluff.

03:04:34.000 --> 03:04:38.440
Yes, yes, yeah, so that's all given to us reference-wise

03:04:38.440 --> 03:04:41.320
and our painters are masters at what they do

03:04:41.320 --> 03:04:45.120
and it's just amazing to see that,

03:04:45.120 --> 03:04:47.240
like just the vibrancy and the different,

03:04:47.240 --> 03:04:48.840
like kind of the colors that you incorporate

03:04:48.840 --> 03:04:51.680
into each statue, especially with the flowers for Eevee.

03:04:51.680 --> 03:04:54.480
It's so beautiful to also like represent more

03:04:54.480 --> 03:04:57.400
In the statue, it's not just a one-to-one, life-size EV,

03:04:57.400 --> 03:04:59.920
but it can be more in the context of the base.

03:04:59.920 --> 03:05:03.120
And so it's really cool to tell more into a story.

03:05:03.120 --> 03:05:04.920
Now you can talk about Gengar.

03:05:04.920 --> 03:05:06.480
I wasn't even going to talk about Gengar.

03:05:06.480 --> 03:05:08.080
I was going to ask because we've

03:05:08.080 --> 03:05:10.800
talked to a bunch of different creatives this weekend

03:05:10.800 --> 03:05:11.960
here at Pokemon XP, right?

03:05:11.960 --> 03:05:15.480
And we talk about how it has to feel

03:05:15.480 --> 03:05:19.120
to spend so much time thinking about specific details

03:05:19.120 --> 03:05:21.880
and putting passion and entire team of people coming

03:05:21.880 --> 03:05:23.520
together to create a product that you then

03:05:23.520 --> 03:05:27.360
out into the universe and hope is received really well so what has that reception been

03:05:27.360 --> 03:05:29.440
like here at Pokemon XP for you guys at the booth?

03:05:29.440 --> 03:05:34.960
Oh my, I think it's unexpected for us because we didn't know what to expect but it's been

03:05:34.960 --> 03:05:42.720
so positive and so amazing to be with the fans and just like take that energy from them

03:05:42.720 --> 03:05:44.880
and just be like hey what's your favorite Pokemon?

03:05:44.880 --> 03:05:48.240
They're coming over to the booth and like oh my gosh I've never seen these statues

03:05:48.240 --> 03:05:51.760
before I never even knew you guys who you guys were and so it's been amazing

03:05:51.760 --> 03:05:57.040
for us and so gratifying for us to be here at this event at Pokemon XP and just enjoy the

03:05:57.040 --> 03:06:02.240
competitions here, enjoy the fan base and just be fans as well. Like I've been in lines like all

03:06:02.240 --> 03:06:06.800
day sometimes trying to get stuff. For which ones? I've been at the Lego line, I got to build the

03:06:06.800 --> 03:06:10.240
trophy which was amazing and so I walked out and I was like this is all I need, I'm done.

03:06:11.120 --> 03:06:17.520
But it's been so cool to be just with people that are so appreciative of Pokemon

03:06:17.520 --> 03:06:22.080
and the characters, and everybody has such unique experiences and stories with each one,

03:06:22.080 --> 03:06:24.640
and so like, I mean, that's what we're trying to tell in our statues, just like,

03:06:24.640 --> 03:06:30.000
we're trying to solidify a unique experience with each Pokemon and just try to make sure that

03:06:30.000 --> 03:06:35.440
we're capturing the essence of the game or original animation. And so, yeah, for us,

03:06:35.440 --> 03:06:40.160
it's been a true dream to be here. That was so interesting, what Anna and what you brought

03:06:40.160 --> 03:06:43.760
up about the flowers for Eevee. Are there any other, when we're looking at the statues

03:06:43.760 --> 03:06:47.760
downstairs, kind of little details that we should really be taking note of on any of the others.

03:06:47.760 --> 03:06:53.520
Yeah, so we really tried to incorporate in each base, we're trying to incorporate an environment

03:06:53.520 --> 03:06:58.000
that you would find each character in, and especially with our Snorlax diorama, which is

03:06:58.000 --> 03:07:03.200
really heavy on the different types of Pokemon species that they have in like a grass or a

03:07:03.200 --> 03:07:08.000
forest environment, which has been really cool. And so you can see munchlax and gulpin with

03:07:08.000 --> 03:07:11.920
the berries, eating all the berries. You can see squelvert up in the tree, which kind

03:07:11.920 --> 03:07:13.960
You kind of have to duck down a little bit and see him,

03:07:13.960 --> 03:07:15.720
and then you see Greedon kind of running along

03:07:15.720 --> 03:07:17.080
and Slowpoke sleeping,

03:07:17.080 --> 03:07:19.420
and then even on top of Snorlax's belly,

03:07:19.420 --> 03:07:22.060
while he's sleeping, you see Pikachu and Evie sleeping

03:07:22.060 --> 03:07:23.520
together, which is really cute.

03:07:23.520 --> 03:07:25.360
And then if you turn the base all the way around,

03:07:25.360 --> 03:07:27.840
or if you get a 360 view, you see a Sawaddle

03:07:27.840 --> 03:07:30.640
right in the corner, and also in the tree too,

03:07:30.640 --> 03:07:32.800
not to be mistaken for one of the berries,

03:07:32.800 --> 03:07:34.600
you see an Applin hanging from the tree.

03:07:34.600 --> 03:07:37.640
And so there's so much,

03:07:37.640 --> 03:07:39.480
there's so much to show in these Pokemon,

03:07:39.480 --> 03:07:40.560
especially in the dioramas.

03:07:40.560 --> 03:07:42.120
It's just such, such an amazing.

03:07:42.120 --> 03:07:43.480
I hope we get to do more dioramas

03:07:43.480 --> 03:07:47.040
because I love showing off like a world or environment

03:07:47.040 --> 03:07:49.760
that we get to help kind of bring to real life.

03:07:49.760 --> 03:07:50.960
It's so cool.

03:07:50.960 --> 03:07:52.720
What would be the next environment that you would help

03:07:52.720 --> 03:07:55.160
that you could potentially do dioramas of?

03:07:55.160 --> 03:07:56.360
So we've been talking,

03:07:57.520 --> 03:07:59.600
my senior concert designer, Rachel,

03:07:59.600 --> 03:08:02.920
we've been talking about creating like an urban environment.

03:08:02.920 --> 03:08:03.920
Whoa.

03:08:03.920 --> 03:08:04.840
And we've been getting a lot of,

03:08:04.840 --> 03:08:06.960
hey, can you like maybe do like incorporate

03:08:06.960 --> 03:08:10.520
like a cityscape or even like a fire landscape

03:08:10.520 --> 03:08:17.480
volcanic and so we definitely have ideas for how we can incorporate more and how we can show off more

03:08:17.480 --> 03:08:19.400
So it's coming down. It's coming down the pipeline

03:08:19.400 --> 03:08:25.960
We just did wave one of our Pokemon statues with the sticks that we have and we'll definitely do more life-size and it's been

03:08:25.960 --> 03:08:28.920
Yeah, it's been amazing definitely more life-size. Oh, yeah

03:08:29.640 --> 03:08:33.760
Do you guys have any life-size characters that you would want as a statue? I mean

03:08:35.960 --> 03:08:39.520
Your door something that we got to make it we got to make it small enough to

03:08:40.520 --> 03:08:46.400
much like I think much that yeah small challenge I was thinking I would say

03:08:46.400 --> 03:08:51.480
life-size game yeah my dangerous that articuno

03:08:51.480 --> 03:08:55.080
come down and they're like hey this charge that statue this is I know you're

03:08:55.080 --> 03:08:59.760
selling life-size so he's gonna come to my door and life-size I'm like no we

03:08:59.760 --> 03:09:03.360
cannot do that the statues all you're getting but it's so amazing but I was

03:09:03.360 --> 03:09:04.800
I was gonna say like an Aplen.

03:09:04.800 --> 03:09:07.280
An Aplen, life-size would be super awesome.

03:09:07.280 --> 03:09:08.880
Big for teachers.

03:09:08.880 --> 03:09:09.720
That's super cool.

03:09:09.720 --> 03:09:11.760
Oh, I mean, I immediately,

03:09:11.760 --> 03:09:13.040
you were talking about a cityscape

03:09:13.040 --> 03:09:15.120
and I immediately think Umbreon.

03:09:15.120 --> 03:09:16.560
And so then I immediately thought,

03:09:16.560 --> 03:09:18.280
then I can get the life-size.

03:09:18.280 --> 03:09:20.080
Eevee, what if I had a life-size?

03:09:20.080 --> 03:09:22.760
Umbreon, that does get a little large, I'm sure.

03:09:22.760 --> 03:09:23.600
That might be a little large,

03:09:23.600 --> 03:09:25.960
but I scare the animals too, I don't know.

03:09:25.960 --> 03:09:27.120
But it would be so fun.

03:09:27.120 --> 03:09:28.160
Yeah, it would be so awesome.

03:09:28.160 --> 03:09:29.120
Yeah, in the cityscape,

03:09:29.120 --> 03:09:30.960
we're always knocking off ideas,

03:09:30.960 --> 03:09:32.560
like maybe it could be like some Trubbish,

03:09:32.560 --> 03:09:36.900
like lurking around or maybe even grime or some wiggle coming in or even like a

03:09:36.900 --> 03:09:40.200
Meowth perched on like a balcony would be really cute.

03:09:40.200 --> 03:09:41.700
Can I get a tongue with her hammer?

03:09:41.700 --> 03:09:43.700
Yeah, take a tongue with her hammer. Yeah, that'd be awesome.

03:09:43.700 --> 03:09:45.700
What is the Pokedex size of a Mew?

03:09:45.700 --> 03:09:47.700
I think it's not much larger.

03:09:47.700 --> 03:09:48.700
A Mew? Yeah.

03:09:48.700 --> 03:09:50.700
And they're like a little big, right?

03:09:50.700 --> 03:09:54.700
I would assume so. Yeah, we have our like smaller scale to MewTube Mew.

03:09:54.700 --> 03:09:58.700
But yeah, I actually don't know. I think she would be pretty...

03:09:58.700 --> 03:10:04.340
I think the one that's inside the 30th celebration booth might be Pokedex size

03:10:04.340 --> 03:10:08.100
And it was it was big enough to hold like a sweet baby child

03:10:09.220 --> 03:10:11.940
Yeah, Gary Oak held it in the palm of his hand

03:10:17.300 --> 03:10:20.500
You know what I'll take me when any size just send them on you

03:10:20.660 --> 03:10:27.620
What you said Aplan, but are there any others that you would love life size man? Okay life size for me personally would be septile

03:10:28.700 --> 03:10:36.220
grassland fan. I love Sceptile. I love the design of Sceptile. I'm also like Dawn fan would be awesome.

03:10:38.460 --> 03:10:44.140
Dawn fan would be sweet. I love Dawn fan and a character that I for sure know we would not be

03:10:44.140 --> 03:10:48.700
able to make would be Tentacruel. Tentacruel would be, I don't know, I don't have a pool so it would

03:10:48.700 --> 03:10:52.460
be cool to have them in a pool just like waiting there just checking out. I would be like so awesome.

03:10:53.420 --> 03:10:57.100
Are those your favorite Pokemon? Yes, those are definitely three of my favorites.

03:10:57.100 --> 03:11:02.100
I definitely have more. It's definitely, yeah, Sceptile, Tend to Cruel, Torkle would be a great...

03:11:02.100 --> 03:11:05.100
Oh, what? Torkle is a great list.

03:11:05.100 --> 03:11:12.100
Whenever I played Pokemon Emerald, Torkle and Sceptile were my mains to go to. Even Flygon. I love Flygon.

03:11:12.100 --> 03:11:13.100
Amazing.

03:11:13.100 --> 03:11:18.100
I know everybody likes Salamence, but I'm such a Flygon fan. Man, I've been...

03:11:18.100 --> 03:11:21.100
This is amazing. You've listed quite a few.

03:11:21.100 --> 03:11:22.100
Yeah.

03:11:22.100 --> 03:11:28.600
We asked for like a top three top five were like bracing because so far our record is not a single person even in their top list

03:11:28.600 --> 03:11:33.860
Yeah, three days mentioned the same Pokemon really cool. Okay, cool. I really like okay

03:11:33.860 --> 03:11:37.540
I hope stuff. I mean except I was a great character and like dawn fan and court or cool

03:11:37.540 --> 03:11:42.940
And I know Torquil's like very competitive played and so it's really cool to see like Torquil get some light and like

03:11:42.940 --> 03:11:45.780
Oh, that's awesome. I used to use that character a lot like it's super cool

03:11:46.860 --> 03:11:48.860
Me and pocopia in my rocky ridges

03:11:48.860 --> 03:11:50.820
Oh, yeah, 100%.

03:11:50.820 --> 03:11:52.480
Are there any interesting challenges

03:11:52.480 --> 03:11:54.080
when you have something like a Tendocruel?

03:11:54.080 --> 03:11:56.380
We've got a grimer with translucency,

03:11:56.380 --> 03:11:57.980
with different elements of the Pokémon.

03:11:57.980 --> 03:11:59.520
For sure.

03:11:59.520 --> 03:12:02.620
Making sure that we stay true to the character

03:12:02.620 --> 03:12:07.660
and that we can also incorporate some...

03:12:07.660 --> 03:12:10.380
just different elements of materials

03:12:10.380 --> 03:12:12.420
when we're creating our statues,

03:12:12.420 --> 03:12:14.380
like for our Gengar Dio.

03:12:14.380 --> 03:12:16.720
We have Haunter coming out from the left,

03:12:16.720 --> 03:12:20.440
to Gengar on the front with two shadow ball pieces in this hand

03:12:20.440 --> 03:12:21.680
or like the energy.

03:12:21.680 --> 03:12:23.040
And then we have Ghastly up top.

03:12:23.040 --> 03:12:25.640
And it's really cool because Ghastly's Ghast

03:12:25.640 --> 03:12:27.360
is all translucent.

03:12:27.360 --> 03:12:31.400
And so it's been really fun to incorporate

03:12:31.400 --> 03:12:36.520
some of those type of materials into the statues

03:12:36.520 --> 03:12:39.920
so that people can see like, hey, if there's Pokemon,

03:12:39.920 --> 03:12:41.560
like this real life Pokemon, you

03:12:41.560 --> 03:12:43.280
can see this is what it would look like.

03:12:43.280 --> 03:12:45.040
And so that's been really cool.

03:12:45.040 --> 03:12:49.680
So even Gengar's Shadow Balls, they're a little bit translucent.

03:12:49.680 --> 03:12:51.000
They're painted a little differently.

03:12:51.000 --> 03:12:53.600
So then the ball in the middle is a little bit more glowing.

03:12:53.600 --> 03:12:55.800
And so, yeah, we have a lot of paint videos

03:12:55.800 --> 03:12:57.720
that we take with the artists.

03:12:57.720 --> 03:13:01.000
And it's really cool to see the applications

03:13:01.000 --> 03:13:08.240
that they use to create this life-like material.

03:13:08.240 --> 03:13:09.000
It's really amazing.

03:13:09.000 --> 03:13:09.840
It almost glows.

03:13:09.840 --> 03:13:12.160
There's so much dimension to the energy balls.

03:13:12.160 --> 03:13:15.540
even like new to sidestrike like right in his hand.

03:13:15.540 --> 03:13:18.480
It's super cool to see like the blueish glow in the middle

03:13:18.480 --> 03:13:20.880
and then the purple like the heavy purples on the outside

03:13:20.880 --> 03:13:23.520
to really like just like very eye catching.

03:13:23.520 --> 03:13:25.840
There's so much love that is so apparent from you

03:13:25.840 --> 03:13:27.720
and your team that pours into these.

03:13:27.720 --> 03:13:30.360
And I think that that is why you have such an attraction.

03:13:30.360 --> 03:13:32.280
I could not walk away from that booth

03:13:32.280 --> 03:13:34.840
and I had to be dragged for the life size.

03:13:34.840 --> 03:13:37.480
We see how much you love the Pokemon world

03:13:37.480 --> 03:13:39.320
and we appreciate it.

03:13:39.320 --> 03:13:41.000
You know what I'm grown up with Pokemon.

03:13:41.000 --> 03:13:44.360
It's crazy like to come here and celebrate.

03:13:44.360 --> 03:13:46.120
I mean, this year we're celebrating 30 years

03:13:46.120 --> 03:13:50.320
of Pokemon and characters and like I grew up with that.

03:13:50.320 --> 03:13:54.080
I grew up with like almost celebrating like every year

03:13:54.080 --> 03:13:57.940
I would go into a new thing and like a new game

03:13:57.940 --> 03:13:59.400
or watching the TV show.

03:13:59.400 --> 03:14:02.760
And so for me, it's really just like an honor to be here

03:14:02.760 --> 03:14:06.160
and just be part of like such a big community of fans.

03:14:06.160 --> 03:14:08.320
And so it's been great, yeah.

03:14:08.320 --> 03:14:11.040
Is this what you expected for Pokemon XP?

03:14:11.040 --> 03:14:12.080
Is this what I expected?

03:14:12.080 --> 03:14:14.640
I actually, no, I didn't.

03:14:14.640 --> 03:14:16.640
I expected maybe a little less.

03:14:16.640 --> 03:14:17.480
Yeah.

03:14:17.480 --> 03:14:20.240
Funny enough, like I know Pokemon is worldwide.

03:14:20.240 --> 03:14:21.400
I've seen it.

03:14:21.400 --> 03:14:22.560
I've seen it before traveling.

03:14:22.560 --> 03:14:26.280
I've seen it with the comments on our posts

03:14:26.280 --> 03:14:28.080
when we show off our statues.

03:14:28.080 --> 03:14:31.920
But I wasn't expecting the amounts of people here

03:14:31.920 --> 03:14:35.880
in the XP, in XP, in worlds, and even outside,

03:14:35.880 --> 03:14:37.800
and just like the love for the fandom.

03:14:37.800 --> 03:14:39.320
And I love it.

03:14:39.320 --> 03:14:41.320
It's so, it's so energizing.

03:14:41.320 --> 03:14:42.880
It's like you walk outside.

03:14:42.880 --> 03:14:44.480
I'm waking up at seven in the morning.

03:14:44.480 --> 03:14:46.240
I'm like, I gotta get my day going.

03:14:46.240 --> 03:14:47.320
There's too much to do.

03:14:47.320 --> 03:14:48.480
Like, there's times where I'm like,

03:14:48.480 --> 03:14:49.800
I gotta go back to the hotel.

03:14:49.800 --> 03:14:50.640
And I'm like, you know what?

03:14:50.640 --> 03:14:51.960
Nah, just go back to the booth.

03:14:51.960 --> 03:14:53.040
You're gonna hang out with everybody.

03:14:53.040 --> 03:14:55.200
Like, it's so cool.

03:14:55.200 --> 03:14:56.040
It's so awesome.

03:14:56.040 --> 03:14:58.280
Has there been any like core memories

03:14:58.280 --> 03:14:59.600
that have been made or moments

03:14:59.600 --> 03:15:00.920
that were really special to you

03:15:00.920 --> 03:15:02.400
or things that happened at the booth

03:15:02.400 --> 03:15:03.760
that you're gonna take away

03:15:03.760 --> 03:15:04.800
or that you'd wanna tell us?

03:15:04.800 --> 03:15:08.080
Yeah, for me, first and foremost,

03:15:08.080 --> 03:15:11.280
it's actually with my team members at the booth.

03:15:12.280 --> 03:15:14.600
We're a big company, we're a larger company,

03:15:14.600 --> 03:15:17.200
but we only were able to send six people down

03:15:17.200 --> 03:15:18.560
for the show this year.

03:15:18.560 --> 03:15:23.240
And for me, it's getting to be with them every day

03:15:23.240 --> 03:15:27.480
and learn their fandom and get to,

03:15:27.480 --> 03:15:29.040
because I work in multimedia,

03:15:29.040 --> 03:15:30.340
we have someone working in design,

03:15:30.340 --> 03:15:31.520
we have someone working in marketing,

03:15:31.520 --> 03:15:33.800
I have another person working in project management,

03:15:33.800 --> 03:15:36.320
and then another person working in graphic arts.

03:15:36.320 --> 03:15:39.360
And so we're kind of scattered across our little building,

03:15:39.360 --> 03:15:43.880
but still like, it's so amazing to come together

03:15:43.880 --> 03:15:46.960
and just be part of this world together

03:15:46.960 --> 03:15:49.320
and learn from each other and learn the fandom

03:15:49.320 --> 03:15:52.120
and learn what cards you need

03:15:52.120 --> 03:15:53.720
and what Pokemon you wanna trade

03:15:53.720 --> 03:15:56.400
and what Pokemon is your favorite?

03:15:56.400 --> 03:15:59.320
And I've, it's been so cool.

03:15:59.320 --> 03:16:00.760
We have such a nice family.

03:16:00.760 --> 03:16:02.360
I really like to use that word at SciShow.

03:16:02.360 --> 03:16:09.280
It's such a nice family and I know so many of our employees and for me, I just did a panel

03:16:09.280 --> 03:16:12.960
for our licensing and it was so much fun when they introduced me.

03:16:12.960 --> 03:16:17.800
I got my coworkers right there and they were like, yeah, they're cool.

03:16:17.800 --> 03:16:22.200
It just took the ease out of being on a panel because I've never done that before live

03:16:22.200 --> 03:16:27.840
and so it's such a pleasure to be with my family here.

03:16:27.840 --> 03:16:32.080
And then another memory for sure would just be talking with fans and asking them

03:16:32.080 --> 03:16:33.200
Hey, who's your favorite Pokemon?

03:16:33.200 --> 03:16:35.400
Like, what would you like us to do?

03:16:35.400 --> 03:16:37.320
If we could do it, we could make a statue for you.

03:16:37.320 --> 03:16:38.240
What would you like?

03:16:38.240 --> 03:16:39.520
So we've had some great people come up.

03:16:39.520 --> 03:16:41.760
I had a person come up and tell me nine tails.

03:16:41.760 --> 03:16:43.240
And I was like, oh, nine tails.

03:16:43.240 --> 03:16:44.660
That would be awesome.

03:16:44.660 --> 03:16:46.080
Such a beautiful Pokemon.

03:16:46.080 --> 03:16:49.240
And so elegant and shown off in the games

03:16:49.240 --> 03:16:51.680
and in the TV shows is such a majesty.

03:16:51.680 --> 03:16:53.960
And it's so incredible.

03:16:53.960 --> 03:16:56.640
And so, yeah, it's been so rewarding for us

03:16:56.640 --> 03:17:00.040
to be just here and talking to people

03:17:00.040 --> 03:17:02.440
about what we can do next.

03:17:02.440 --> 03:17:03.360
So that's been great.

03:17:03.360 --> 03:17:04.000
Awesome.

03:17:04.000 --> 03:17:05.880
Where can people stay in touch with Sideshow?

03:17:05.880 --> 03:17:07.000
Where can they follow along?

03:17:07.000 --> 03:17:09.640
So Sideshow is on every social media platform.

03:17:09.640 --> 03:17:11.400
We have Instagram, YouTube.

03:17:11.400 --> 03:17:13.880
And you'll see me actually on the Instagram and YouTube

03:17:13.880 --> 03:17:18.320
sometimes unboxing and making instructional videos.

03:17:18.320 --> 03:17:21.800
And yeah, we have a lot to share on our social media

03:17:21.800 --> 03:17:23.200
platforms.

03:17:23.200 --> 03:17:26.320
And so we're going to make more.

03:17:26.320 --> 03:17:28.120
We're super excited to make more.

03:17:28.120 --> 03:17:33.880
And we're super excited to bring the fans that we've made here and like on our journey.

03:17:33.880 --> 03:17:34.880
Awesome.

03:17:34.880 --> 03:17:36.880
Thank you for spending the time with us today.

03:17:36.880 --> 03:17:37.880
Thank you so much.

03:17:37.880 --> 03:17:38.880
This is awesome.

03:17:38.880 --> 03:17:41.080
It's been so fun just geeking out with you.

03:17:41.080 --> 03:17:42.080
Thank you.

03:17:42.080 --> 03:17:43.080
Thank you.

03:17:43.080 --> 03:17:48.880
And I am told we have a special shot for us to look at and react to.

03:17:48.880 --> 03:17:50.880
Oh my gosh.

03:17:50.880 --> 03:17:52.880
Oh my gosh.

03:17:52.880 --> 03:17:54.880
They're so sleepy.

03:17:54.880 --> 03:17:55.880
Oh my gosh.

03:17:55.880 --> 03:17:57.380
Wait, is shiny Umbreon though?

03:17:57.380 --> 03:17:59.380
Where is this? How do we get there now?

03:17:59.380 --> 03:18:02.380
Okay, now which is your favorite dog Pokemon?

03:18:02.380 --> 03:18:05.380
Okay, favorite dog Pokemon? Is that Psyduck?

03:18:05.380 --> 03:18:07.380
Is that Psyduck or Pikachu? I can't tell.

03:18:07.380 --> 03:18:09.380
Oh, it's a little Psyduck.

03:18:09.380 --> 03:18:12.380
Sleepy Snorlax. Snorlax is my favorite.

03:18:12.380 --> 03:18:15.380
That's adorable. Umbreon is classic in the journey.

03:18:15.380 --> 03:18:17.380
Sheppard is super cute. Jigglypuff looks great.

03:18:17.380 --> 03:18:19.380
Grookey looks great. Oh my gosh.

03:18:19.380 --> 03:18:21.380
I love the shiny Umbreon actually too.

03:18:21.380 --> 03:18:24.380
We have shiny and... oh wow.

03:18:24.380 --> 03:18:27.940
Okay, we need a moment to try to pet that doll.

03:18:27.940 --> 03:18:29.580
So, can I pet that doll?

03:18:29.580 --> 03:18:31.380
So, we'll be right back after this.

03:18:43.460 --> 03:18:44.300
What's up, guys?

03:18:44.300 --> 03:18:45.140
Glitter Explosion here,

03:18:45.140 --> 03:18:48.180
and we popped on over to the Yerba Buena Gardens.

03:18:48.180 --> 03:18:49.700
One of the many amazing things

03:18:49.700 --> 03:18:52.500
that you can do here at Pokemon XP.

03:18:52.500 --> 03:18:54.180
And this one is super unique.

03:18:54.180 --> 03:18:57.220
Everything is outside and there's so much you can do here,

03:18:57.220 --> 03:18:59.740
whether it's some long games, some live performances,

03:18:59.740 --> 03:19:02.020
meet and greet, some education,

03:19:02.020 --> 03:19:05.500
a little bit of interaction, maybe a glam booth or two.

03:19:05.500 --> 03:19:08.580
So we're gonna take you on a tour of the entire place

03:19:08.580 --> 03:19:10.660
so you can see everything, how it all works

03:19:10.660 --> 03:19:12.780
and you won't miss a single second of it.

03:20:42.780 --> 03:20:44.780
I

03:22:12.780 --> 03:22:21.500
Hello and welcome back to Pokemon XP here on Rayquaza Road in San Francisco.

03:22:21.500 --> 03:22:26.220
I am Anna joined by Rachel and Glitter here at the desk and we have a new friend as well.

03:22:26.220 --> 03:22:28.380
Could you introduce yourself to the people at home?

03:22:28.380 --> 03:22:29.380
Hi everybody.

03:22:29.380 --> 03:22:34.740
My name is Ed Goldfarb and I have been composing the score and songs for the international

03:22:34.740 --> 03:22:37.460
version of the Pokemon anime since 2013.

03:22:37.460 --> 03:22:40.860
Wow, that is a long tenure.

03:22:40.860 --> 03:22:42.380
We've been listening to you for a long time.

03:22:42.380 --> 03:22:44.380
Thank you for everything first of all.

03:22:44.380 --> 03:22:46.380
Thank you for everything.

03:22:46.380 --> 03:22:48.380
The pleasure is all mine, believe me.

03:22:48.380 --> 03:22:50.380
It's the greatest job on Earth.

03:22:50.380 --> 03:22:52.380
Take us through a history lesson.

03:22:52.380 --> 03:22:54.380
Where did it all start for you?

03:22:54.380 --> 03:22:57.380
Well, I mean, I've been playing piano since I was a little kid,

03:22:57.380 --> 03:23:00.380
and my mom reminds me that I asked to have,

03:23:00.380 --> 03:23:04.380
before I had lessons, I asked for her to move the TV

03:23:04.380 --> 03:23:07.380
closer to our piano so I could play along with Bugs Bunny.

03:23:07.380 --> 03:23:09.380
Oh my God.

03:23:09.380 --> 03:23:17.540
Yeah, it took another 45 years or whatever before that turned into actually making music for cartoons

03:23:17.540 --> 03:23:24.820
in a renumerative way, but it obviously that's what I was supposed to do. So we got around to it.

03:23:24.820 --> 03:23:30.180
Now that's what I do. There was a spark. There was a spark, but when did that spark catch a

03:23:30.180 --> 03:23:36.820
blaze with Pokemon? Well, it caught up around 2013 where I just amassed enough skills

03:23:36.820 --> 03:23:46.660
writing both score and songs and just getting into these adorable creatures and hearing the music.

03:23:46.660 --> 03:23:51.860
Unfortunately, the music I hear when I hang out with these creatures is the right music.

03:23:54.020 --> 03:23:59.460
That they're supposed to have behind them. So every night I don't question too much how it

03:23:59.460 --> 03:24:04.740
works. I just know it does. So I can't complain. But then how is it the right music every time?

03:24:04.740 --> 03:24:09.140
How are you constantly coming up with a new score anytime the the theme music needs to change?

03:24:09.780 --> 03:24:11.780
Well, that's my particular affliction

03:24:13.380 --> 03:24:15.380
I'll just you know, I

03:24:16.060 --> 03:24:21.500
Yeah, I call it the feed and it's going. Yeah. I mean I'm scoring our conversation

03:24:22.500 --> 03:24:26.900
Conversation now if I have an extra pair of hands. Well, the music might not be very good

03:24:28.100 --> 03:24:34.420
It might need some tweaking, but yeah, that's that's how I'm afflicted and and we are all the richer for it

03:24:34.420 --> 03:24:41.920
We've been talking a lot here at Pokemon XP specifically about how people and their specific

03:24:41.920 --> 03:24:47.940
artistry interacts with Pokemon and how it feels great to be celebrating that alongside

03:24:47.940 --> 03:24:53.380
other creatives because we've spent so much time loving Pokemon and being like, maybe

03:24:53.380 --> 03:24:56.660
I could love Pokemon and another thing and maybe those things could make something

03:24:56.660 --> 03:24:57.660
beautiful.

03:24:57.660 --> 03:25:01.220
How has the experience been here at Pokemon XP as an artist?

03:25:01.220 --> 03:25:07.940
the most exciting to me is to see that because it really is like a design

03:25:07.940 --> 03:25:13.120
company on as well as everything else right just all of these creatures and

03:25:13.120 --> 03:25:20.300
the the the accoutrements specific to the event is just I you know I've been

03:25:20.300 --> 03:25:25.700
walking into stuff because I'm looking at either some some brilliant costume

03:25:25.700 --> 03:25:30.080
that someone has put together or just like one of these boasters Pikachu

03:25:30.080 --> 03:25:40.400
looks great in hats, but the Spaceman stuff is just another level and all of that stuff

03:25:40.400 --> 03:25:48.240
and it's never-ending. The thing with the painted ladies with the houses unique to San

03:25:48.240 --> 03:25:54.520
Francisco, all of it, it's just overwhelming. I'm glad that my band rehearsed a lot. It's

03:25:54.520 --> 03:25:59.520
muscle memory when we get on stage at this point because I'm just blown away

03:25:59.520 --> 03:26:01.520
like we all are.

03:26:01.520 --> 03:26:06.520
And you mentioned that you're sort of automatically scoring as you encounter things.

03:26:06.520 --> 03:26:10.520
Was it that same way when you first got to Pokemon? You were bursting with ideas?

03:26:10.520 --> 03:26:12.520
Yes.

03:26:12.520 --> 03:26:18.520
Bursting with ideas that, especially since making music for Pokemon was my first chance

03:26:18.520 --> 03:26:24.920
chance to really do the music for an animated entity that apparently I had been setting

03:26:24.920 --> 03:26:27.720
myself up to do since I was little.

03:26:27.720 --> 03:26:32.960
So especially X, Y is one of my favorite scores because it was my first.

03:26:32.960 --> 03:26:39.680
And those three years are just full of tons of ideas like anything that had occurred

03:26:39.680 --> 03:26:44.600
to me and then plus what the creatures and the story told me to write.

03:26:44.600 --> 03:26:47.960
There's like eight hours of music for those three years.

03:26:47.960 --> 03:26:51.280
Is there a lot of absorption that you have to do ahead of time, though, to be prepared

03:26:51.280 --> 03:26:54.000
to kind of just have that flow from you?

03:26:54.000 --> 03:26:55.000
I think with...

03:26:55.000 --> 03:26:56.000
I think with...

03:26:56.000 --> 03:26:57.000
Was there French incoming?

03:26:57.000 --> 03:26:58.000
Was there...

03:26:58.000 --> 03:27:02.200
Well, with composers, I think you just...

03:27:02.200 --> 03:27:06.640
You build up the music through your life and it just gets into your head and then

03:27:06.640 --> 03:27:12.720
when an opportunity comes to compose, it's just there.

03:27:12.720 --> 03:27:16.720
I don't ask how, but the tunes are ready.

03:27:16.720 --> 03:27:19.720
And if I had been writing music for something totally different,

03:27:19.720 --> 03:27:23.320
I like to think that an entire different set of options

03:27:23.320 --> 03:27:25.280
would have shown up in my year.

03:27:25.280 --> 03:27:28.600
It's just kind of how it works.

03:27:28.600 --> 03:27:31.840
Would you say you have any musical influences that are,

03:27:31.840 --> 03:27:33.200
what are those?

03:27:33.200 --> 03:27:36.680
All composers in almost all kinds of music,

03:27:36.680 --> 03:27:40.200
especially music for media, music for video,

03:27:40.200 --> 03:27:41.640
we all love metal.

03:27:41.640 --> 03:27:50.420
Yeah, there's just a certain visceral energy you only get from that.

03:27:50.420 --> 03:27:57.440
Because of when I grew up in my particular mindset, I really love Steely Dan.

03:27:57.440 --> 03:27:58.440
I love music.

03:27:58.440 --> 03:28:05.360
And to a certain extent all Yacht Rock, but Steely Dan has stood the test of time.

03:28:05.360 --> 03:28:09.920
It's up there with the great jazz artists or people like Bob Marley where it's just

03:28:09.920 --> 03:28:10.920
this kind of thing.

03:28:10.920 --> 03:28:16.960
It isn't really like anything else, and it has a very specific set of rules, and I love

03:28:16.960 --> 03:28:22.280
it because I find that kids ears, because that's really who I'm composing for at the

03:28:22.280 --> 03:28:26.960
end of the day, 8 to 10, they're open to anything.

03:28:26.960 --> 03:28:31.000
And you don't need to tell them, you both don't need to tell them and you can't tell

03:28:31.000 --> 03:28:35.360
them that something is good or bad, you just, you show it to them, and if it's

03:28:35.360 --> 03:28:37.000
cool, then they dig it.

03:28:37.000 --> 03:28:41.560
And it could be music for many of the last 500 years,

03:28:41.560 --> 03:28:44.040
as long as it works for everything else,

03:28:44.040 --> 03:28:46.880
for every other part of the story that you're telling them.

03:28:46.880 --> 03:28:50.680
So I'd like to think that I'm subverting these young minds

03:28:50.680 --> 03:28:51.680
in the best possible way.

03:28:51.680 --> 03:28:54.080
I'm showing them all different kinds of music

03:28:54.080 --> 03:28:57.520
and they're associating it with these great stories

03:28:57.520 --> 03:28:58.880
and with Pokemon.

03:28:58.880 --> 03:29:02.560
And then you just set, forget, see what happens.

03:29:02.560 --> 03:29:04.360
And what has that experience been like?

03:29:04.360 --> 03:29:06.560
Because we've talked about this a lot

03:29:06.560 --> 03:29:08.520
with a bunch of the creatives that we've had up on the stage.

03:29:08.520 --> 03:29:11.720
But obviously, Pokemon and music are so intertwined, right?

03:29:11.720 --> 03:29:15.200
Like, this is something that people genuinely remember tunes

03:29:15.200 --> 03:29:16.520
from 30 years ago.

03:29:16.520 --> 03:29:19.640
So as a person who's kind of creating these iconic things

03:29:19.640 --> 03:29:21.240
for, yes, children, but then something

03:29:21.240 --> 03:29:22.360
that they're going to carry through them

03:29:22.360 --> 03:29:23.560
throughout the rest of their lives,

03:29:23.560 --> 03:29:25.760
what has that feeling been like for you as an artist?

03:29:25.760 --> 03:29:27.960
Well, I mean, it's amazing.

03:29:27.960 --> 03:29:30.480
And something that I'm experiencing here

03:29:30.480 --> 03:29:34.240
is actually interacting with fans and seeing them sing

03:29:34.240 --> 03:29:38.720
the songs, you know, while we're playing them on stage, that's, you know, that's, that's

03:29:38.720 --> 03:29:47.120
special. And one of the musicians in my band, Natan Hong, this second keyboard player, he's

03:29:47.120 --> 03:29:55.560
20 years old, and he grew up on X, Y. So before I met him, he attended my son's art,

03:29:55.560 --> 03:30:01.680
art high school, which is where I encountered him and also Lucas Holmes, our drummer. Natan

03:30:01.680 --> 03:30:08.520
had some of my musical DNA because he grew up listening to my music on X, Y. So like when

03:30:08.520 --> 03:30:14.960
I voice the Bb7th chord, he's right there with the same voice and just because he's heard

03:30:14.960 --> 03:30:20.800
it growing up, which is just in, you know, it's a hard feeling to talk about, but it,

03:30:20.800 --> 03:30:26.120
you know, you know, it's amazing. But just getting the feedback from everyone just

03:30:26.120 --> 03:30:34.000
Instead of being in my room playing something and then hitting send and that shows up on on your TV or your phone

03:30:34.320 --> 03:30:40.260
six months later this this immediate interaction with with the fans to see

03:30:40.760 --> 03:30:45.280
You know seeds that were planted more than a decade ago growing

03:30:46.240 --> 03:30:54.400
today is you know, just an amazing feeling as an artist real real sense of accomplishment and and and belonging

03:30:54.400 --> 03:30:57.400
being a part of this incredible thing.

03:30:57.400 --> 03:31:03.400
Are there any particular pieces that are your favorites that you love to see out and about,

03:31:03.400 --> 03:31:07.400
or any that you have noticed the fans really hold the tightest to that they love?

03:31:07.400 --> 03:31:10.400
Well, there is a...

03:31:10.400 --> 03:31:14.400
It all kind of comes down to the red and blue score,

03:31:14.400 --> 03:31:17.400
the original game score by Junichi Masuda,

03:31:17.400 --> 03:31:19.400
and Gotta Catch em All,

03:31:19.400 --> 03:31:23.400
the original theme song by John Leffler and John Seagler.

03:31:23.400 --> 03:31:29.160
And so all my work is informed by that.

03:31:29.160 --> 03:31:33.200
Those are like the Rosetta Stones.

03:31:33.200 --> 03:31:34.680
So everything comes down from that.

03:31:34.680 --> 03:31:37.560
And the wonderful thing about it is they wrote,

03:31:37.560 --> 03:31:40.120
Lefler and Siegler wrote the bop to end all bops,

03:31:40.120 --> 03:31:42.480
where to start all franchises.

03:31:42.480 --> 03:31:47.120
And Janish Masuda is one of the original architects

03:31:47.120 --> 03:31:50.880
of the game, that music, like every note of that music

03:31:50.880 --> 03:31:53.520
is like this is what Pokemon music sounds like.

03:31:53.520 --> 03:31:56.680
And you can do stuff that draws from this,

03:31:56.680 --> 03:32:00.400
but you also, you need to do stuff that draws from this.

03:32:00.400 --> 03:32:03.520
And if you do that, then it should work.

03:32:03.520 --> 03:32:05.480
So that's been my experience.

03:32:05.480 --> 03:32:07.440
As far as my own music goes,

03:32:07.440 --> 03:32:11.080
it seems like the song Evolving again,

03:32:11.080 --> 03:32:16.080
which is the current theme for the season of Horizons,

03:32:16.080 --> 03:32:24.600
Haven Burton Pascal who sang the version that you hear in the English language theme is in my band

03:32:24.600 --> 03:32:30.320
So she's singing it today, and that's eliciting a great reaction because it has a cool high note

03:32:30.960 --> 03:32:32.400
and

03:32:32.400 --> 03:32:37.240
The song I choose you from the I choose you movie from from years back

03:32:40.480 --> 03:32:44.640
Thank you. I have trouble with it with it to getting through without crying

03:32:44.640 --> 03:32:46.640
I've heard it more than anybody.

03:32:46.640 --> 03:32:48.640
You played it at my wedding?

03:32:48.640 --> 03:32:56.640
I know it's been played at weddings and I wrote it for the fandom and for the character of Serena

03:32:56.640 --> 03:33:03.640
and for Haven who, both for her voice and because she plays the character of Serena

03:33:03.640 --> 03:33:08.640
there's that really cool interaction and I also wrote it for my wife.

03:33:08.640 --> 03:33:18.640
I'd love to be able to, for the art to have many facets for you to be able to turn a song around and have it mean a bunch of different things.

03:33:18.640 --> 03:33:26.640
And I owed her. Composers, spouses are long suffering.

03:33:26.640 --> 03:33:30.640
It's just a lot of quiet.

03:33:30.640 --> 03:33:34.640
You've talked about being on stage with a lot of this music. Are you okay?

03:33:34.640 --> 03:33:37.280
I'm okay. Okay, just love comes through.

03:33:39.280 --> 03:33:44.900
It absolutely does. You've talked about being on stage performing here at Pokemon XP. Can you tell us how that experience has been?

03:33:44.900 --> 03:33:49.320
Oh, it's been wonderful. First of all, I've never I've never had a band that sounded really

03:33:51.200 --> 03:33:57.580
It's surprisingly difficult. It's almost impossible and so what I've been saying from the stage is that

03:33:58.380 --> 03:34:03.160
so much of Pokemon is team building, right? It's one of the things that we really learn and

03:34:03.160 --> 03:34:08.400
And so one of the part of the magic of Pokemon

03:34:08.400 --> 03:34:10.720
is that these people come together

03:34:10.720 --> 03:34:12.080
and you can make amazing things.

03:34:12.080 --> 03:34:15.440
So I have this incredible band with this great rhythm section

03:34:15.440 --> 03:34:18.440
of kids that I've been playing with for three years now.

03:34:18.440 --> 03:34:21.160
And both of my significant singers

03:34:21.160 --> 03:34:24.320
who have sung a bunch of the theme songs

03:34:24.320 --> 03:34:26.560
from the very beginning of my career.

03:34:26.560 --> 03:34:31.520
And then guys in my band playing trumpet and trombone

03:34:31.520 --> 03:34:38.280
Akil Gopal on Matty Lou. Akil has been my co-composer since the beginning, so 13 years,

03:34:38.280 --> 03:34:45.240
so a lot of the music that people love from the anime is his. And then I have a guest

03:34:45.240 --> 03:34:49.880
on guitar, Mason Lieberman, who's a great composer in his own right. So we've just

03:34:49.880 --> 03:34:57.720
got a little bit of everything. Oh, and I've got a friend from my hometown who's a very

03:34:57.720 --> 03:35:01.520
talented musical theater performer Shana McNulty and I'm like hey you want to come

03:35:01.520 --> 03:35:06.120
along and do this and you can sing and play tambourine and and be ready if

03:35:06.120 --> 03:35:10.360
anyone forgets their lyrics and you know and so we're just we're all having a

03:35:10.360 --> 03:35:14.040
wonderful time. Have there been any moments looking out into the audience

03:35:14.040 --> 03:35:17.000
that have really stuck with you or things that people have come up to

03:35:17.000 --> 03:35:22.040
and said about the experience here? Yes yes yes and yes yeah a little

03:35:22.040 --> 03:35:26.680
two-year-old boy just losing it as soon as we start train your battle x y

03:35:26.680 --> 03:35:33.920
it's like a full three minutes it's like that I was I was looking at my drummer

03:35:33.920 --> 03:35:37.360
to make sure make sure that that guy doesn't get you so excited that we speed

03:35:37.360 --> 03:35:46.960
up little momentary glances between musicians that say so much but we

03:35:46.960 --> 03:35:50.600
didn't we kept it together and seeing people sing along with like the whole

03:35:50.600 --> 03:35:55.480
set, knowing every lyric for every song. That's a level of dedication. I've got a

03:35:55.480 --> 03:35:56.480
chichi.

03:35:56.480 --> 03:36:03.440
I've got a lot to learn about, so.

03:36:03.440 --> 03:36:06.120
You were talking about the love coming through, Rachel. Was there something that you wanted

03:36:06.120 --> 03:36:07.120
to ask?

03:36:07.120 --> 03:36:12.240
That was just back, you know, talking to our sculpture artists and finding out how passionate

03:36:12.240 --> 03:36:15.520
they are about Pokemon and how passionate they are about other things, their own pets,

03:36:15.520 --> 03:36:19.760
they bring into it, and then it shines through. You know, there's a lot of love for

03:36:19.760 --> 03:36:22.900
Pokemon a lot of care for the community that is so apparent in talking to you and

03:36:22.900 --> 03:36:26.620
obviously a lot of other things that you love in your life is there a song that

03:36:26.620 --> 03:36:31.820
you feel like best encapsulates what you would want to give the Pokemon community

03:36:31.820 --> 03:36:36.500
that's a that's a that's a great question I mean it's not my song but

03:36:36.500 --> 03:36:42.180
gotta catch them all really just means a lot to a lot of people I think my

03:36:42.180 --> 03:36:48.460
song be a hero that's that's people something people stomp around to it's

03:36:48.460 --> 03:36:53.460
It's a bop. I like to think that it's inspiring me. It's a good message, right?

03:36:53.460 --> 03:37:00.460
You know, whatever opportunity, if an opportunity arises to be a hero, it's advisable.

03:37:00.460 --> 03:37:04.460
You know, to first do no harm, of course. But, you know, if you can, be a hero.

03:37:04.460 --> 03:37:09.460
Yeah. And you talked about inspiration a little bit. Has Pokémon XP given you any new inspiration?

03:37:09.460 --> 03:37:12.460
Are there things that you think squirt through your head?

03:37:12.460 --> 03:37:21.100
begin. Again, I kind of, I work musically but I think visually, so I'm just parsing everything

03:37:22.220 --> 03:37:30.620
that I've seen, you know, get you in the space. Yeah, I can hear that music. We haven't heard that

03:37:30.620 --> 03:37:35.580
music. Yeah, but I've heard it, so I gotta kind of figure out a way that I can, I can-

03:37:35.580 --> 03:37:37.900
I want to hear it. I know, right? I want to hear it!

03:37:37.900 --> 03:37:39.020
Bring that to fruition.

03:37:39.020 --> 03:37:42.460
So we have a little tag, a little keyboard, can we do it real quick?

03:37:42.460 --> 03:37:47.180
Pikachu in space, if I do where to pitch it I would.

03:37:47.180 --> 03:37:49.980
How do we take in our headsets to that music in your brain?

03:37:49.980 --> 03:37:51.980
Yeah.

03:37:51.980 --> 03:37:54.460
Can you scan it?

03:37:54.460 --> 03:37:55.900
It's hard without a keyboard.

03:37:55.900 --> 03:37:57.420
Of course, yeah.

03:37:57.420 --> 03:38:01.060
Are there any other things you've seen here even outside of the music realm

03:38:01.060 --> 03:38:03.940
that have been fun for you, exciting at Pokemon XP

03:38:03.940 --> 03:38:07.620
or any things you've wanted to collect or that you've enjoyed looking at?

03:38:07.620 --> 03:38:16.780
Yeah, I spent my time at the Pokemon Center and amazing Pokemon Center.

03:38:16.780 --> 03:38:19.620
I was in Japan last year and we went to a bunch of them.

03:38:19.620 --> 03:38:21.220
Yeah, it was very cool.

03:38:21.220 --> 03:38:24.940
But this was like the Pokemon Center to end all Pokemon Centers.

03:38:24.940 --> 03:38:28.220
And the San Francisco stuff really means a lot to me.

03:38:28.220 --> 03:38:35.580
I have lived in the city off and on for 40 years and so San Francisco is kind of

03:38:35.580 --> 03:38:37.900
part of my musical DNA.

03:38:37.900 --> 03:38:40.660
I was music director of a show here

03:38:40.660 --> 03:38:44.340
that ran for decades when I was in my 20s,

03:38:44.340 --> 03:38:46.820
and that's informed my musical sensibility.

03:38:46.820 --> 03:38:48.820
It was called Beachbunk at Babylon,

03:38:48.820 --> 03:38:53.820
and it had some very Pokemon-esque aspects.

03:38:54.460 --> 03:38:56.900
It had a similar kind of antique disposition,

03:38:56.900 --> 03:38:59.120
and it set me up well for that.

03:38:59.120 --> 03:39:03.420
And San Francisco is a very Pokemon city, I think.

03:39:03.420 --> 03:39:06.540
You can be yourself in San Francisco famously,

03:39:06.540 --> 03:39:10.100
and so much about Pokemon is about self-expression

03:39:10.100 --> 03:39:15.100
and about finding your place on a team and in a community,

03:39:15.260 --> 03:39:18.180
and that is what San Francisco is all about.

03:39:18.180 --> 03:39:19.900
And that's what I'm all about.

03:39:19.900 --> 03:39:21.620
So seeing those things mixed together

03:39:21.620 --> 03:39:23.420
on the merch has been satisfying for you?

03:39:23.420 --> 03:39:24.540
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

03:39:24.540 --> 03:39:25.380
Cool.

03:39:25.380 --> 03:39:27.420
Anna, have we asked our favorite Pokemon question?

03:39:27.420 --> 03:39:28.620
Oh my gosh, we haven't!

03:39:28.620 --> 03:39:29.620
Yes!

03:39:29.620 --> 03:39:30.860
So what is your favorite Pokemon?

03:39:30.860 --> 03:39:33.800
My buddy's holding my bag, but Snorlax.

03:39:33.800 --> 03:39:36.140
Oh, yay!

03:39:36.140 --> 03:39:37.460
Yes, Snorlax today.

03:39:37.460 --> 03:39:38.900
What is it you like about Snorlax?

03:39:38.900 --> 03:39:43.020
Well, I like that he'll catch you when you fall.

03:39:43.020 --> 03:39:46.540
That's so good.

03:39:46.540 --> 03:39:50.580
And I just love that's how relaxed Snorlax is,

03:39:50.580 --> 03:39:53.140
because Snorlax is aware.

03:39:53.140 --> 03:39:55.300
Snorlax knows what's going on,

03:39:55.300 --> 03:39:58.500
and Snorlax's response is natural.

03:39:58.500 --> 03:40:04.220
And I think that we can all learn from Snorlax for that in that way.

03:40:04.220 --> 03:40:06.540
That this is what's coming at Snorlax.

03:40:06.540 --> 03:40:07.980
It's what's coming at all of you.

03:40:07.980 --> 03:40:11.900
And here is how Snorlax is chosen to work with it.

03:40:11.900 --> 03:40:14.900
And I find them very inspiring.

03:40:14.900 --> 03:40:15.940
That's just inspiring.

03:40:15.940 --> 03:40:17.780
I haven't really thought about that about Snorlax.

03:40:17.780 --> 03:40:18.740
I like it a lot.

03:40:18.740 --> 03:40:22.380
And if there's one bit of music that I wish I could hear a bit more from,

03:40:22.380 --> 03:40:25.620
it's the Pokeflute that wakes Snorlax up.

03:40:25.620 --> 03:40:29.400
So I'm looking forward to maybe a little ditty with some fluke sometimes.

03:40:30.040 --> 03:40:32.100
Fluke won't need a bigger budget for the band.

03:40:32.100 --> 03:40:35.940
Next time I come around, next time I come around I'll bring woodwinds.

03:40:36.180 --> 03:40:39.540
And oh yes, we'll get into some jigglypuff and we'll get into a...

03:40:39.540 --> 03:40:40.380
Oh, this is sounding great.

03:40:40.380 --> 03:40:41.480
Is this a promise?

03:40:41.480 --> 03:40:42.540
Look it, look it!

03:40:42.540 --> 03:40:44.380
It's official, it's on the broadcast now.

03:40:44.380 --> 03:40:45.020
Excellent.

03:40:45.020 --> 03:40:45.520
We see that.

03:40:45.520 --> 03:40:46.020
We see that.

03:40:46.020 --> 03:40:46.520
We see that.

03:40:46.520 --> 03:40:47.020
Yes.

03:40:47.020 --> 03:40:48.120
That plus Pikachu in space.

03:40:48.420 --> 03:40:48.920
Yes.

03:40:48.920 --> 03:40:49.620
Okay, yeah.

03:40:49.820 --> 03:40:50.420
We'll be looking for that.

03:40:50.420 --> 03:40:51.420
We will hold you to that.

03:40:51.420 --> 03:40:51.920
Yes.

03:40:51.920 --> 03:40:52.420
Space Pika.

03:40:52.420 --> 03:40:52.920
All right.

03:40:52.920 --> 03:40:54.420
And it's been such a pleasure talking to you.

03:40:54.420 --> 03:40:54.920
Thank you for your time.

03:40:54.920 --> 03:40:55.420
Always been so fun.

03:40:55.420 --> 03:40:59.420
If people want to follow along with your adventures or see more from you, where can they go?

03:40:59.420 --> 03:41:03.420
You can seek out at Goldfarde Pokemon Composer on Instagram,

03:41:03.420 --> 03:41:08.420
where we're doing a whole bunch of, they're doing a whole bunch of stuff,

03:41:08.420 --> 03:41:11.420
besmirching my good name in the most delightful way.

03:41:11.420 --> 03:41:13.420
So definitely you can check that out.

03:41:13.420 --> 03:41:16.420
I do give some insights into my songs.

03:41:16.420 --> 03:41:19.420
I talk about kind of how I put them together,

03:41:19.420 --> 03:41:23.420
and stuff that it seems the fans are interested in.

03:41:23.420 --> 03:41:25.420
I won't waste your time.

03:41:25.420 --> 03:41:28.420
And of course, at 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock today,

03:41:28.420 --> 03:41:30.420
come on down to the stage. It's gonna be fun.

03:41:30.420 --> 03:41:32.420
That war stage on Rayquaza Road, right?

03:41:32.420 --> 03:41:33.420
Yeah. Right behind us.

03:41:33.420 --> 03:41:36.420
So if you walk in through the Golden Gate Bridge Arch,

03:41:36.420 --> 03:41:38.420
just keep going that way, and you'll find them.

03:41:38.420 --> 03:41:40.420
Thank you so much, Ed. It's been a pleasure.

03:41:40.420 --> 03:41:42.420
Thank you, Ed.

03:41:42.420 --> 03:41:45.420
We've got more coming your way from Pokémon XP right after this.

03:41:53.420 --> 03:41:55.420
I

03:43:23.420 --> 03:43:25.420
I

03:44:23.420 --> 03:44:25.420
I

03:44:53.420 --> 03:45:10.460
Welcome to Pokemon XP here on Rayquaza Road in San Francisco.

03:45:10.460 --> 03:45:11.980
We are having a great day.

03:45:11.980 --> 03:45:13.500
The sun has just come out.

03:45:13.500 --> 03:45:14.500
I am Anna.

03:45:14.500 --> 03:45:17.500
This is Glitter here at the desk and we have some returning friends.

03:45:17.500 --> 03:45:19.500
Welcome back to the desk.

03:45:19.500 --> 03:45:20.860
I'm so glad you guys are here.

03:45:20.860 --> 03:45:22.540
Introduce yourselves again to the people at home.

03:45:22.540 --> 03:45:29.020
I'm RealBreakingA, I've been a Pokemon content creator for 12 years and I am having the time

03:45:29.020 --> 03:45:30.900
of my life right now at Pokemon XP.

03:45:30.900 --> 03:45:36.860
Yeah 100% I'm SuperDouberDanny, also a long time Pokemon TCG content creator, so excited

03:45:36.860 --> 03:45:37.860
to be here.

03:45:37.860 --> 03:45:38.860
This is awesome.

03:45:38.860 --> 03:45:41.700
What has happened since we saw you last at Pokemon XP?

03:45:41.700 --> 03:45:42.700
Oh gee.

03:45:42.700 --> 03:45:43.700
Give us the T.

03:45:43.700 --> 03:45:45.820
You've been walking around, we've been sitting at this desk, what have you been up to?

03:45:45.820 --> 03:45:46.820
What has happened?

03:45:46.820 --> 03:45:47.820
I did so many trades.

03:45:47.820 --> 03:45:48.820
Really?

03:45:48.820 --> 03:45:49.820
So many trades.

03:45:49.820 --> 03:45:53.420
I brought a full trade binder and you have been trading away at the collecting trade.

03:45:53.420 --> 03:45:54.980
What's the best trade that you've gotten?

03:45:54.980 --> 03:45:58.700
Oh, it's honestly, it's top secret because we're actually doing a challenge where we're

03:45:58.700 --> 03:46:01.540
trying to get a better binder by the end of the weekend.

03:46:01.540 --> 03:46:04.540
But I have traded for some big ones.

03:46:04.540 --> 03:46:05.540
Yeah?

03:46:05.540 --> 03:46:06.540
Does that mean you're going to win?

03:46:06.540 --> 03:46:07.540
I'm not too worried.

03:46:07.540 --> 03:46:09.540
I'm not too worried about it at all.

03:46:09.540 --> 03:46:10.540
What's the criteria?

03:46:10.540 --> 03:46:12.180
Is it by rarity, by value?

03:46:12.180 --> 03:46:13.180
What is the...

03:46:13.180 --> 03:46:14.180
It's just whatever you want.

03:46:14.180 --> 03:46:16.780
Whatever you like kind of deem as like cool.

03:46:16.780 --> 03:46:17.780
I like that.

03:46:17.780 --> 03:46:19.620
And we're gonna just mix up the binders

03:46:19.620 --> 03:46:20.860
and then we're giving to somebody

03:46:20.860 --> 03:46:22.860
and then this person's gonna judge.

03:46:22.860 --> 03:46:24.460
Oh.

03:46:24.460 --> 03:46:25.580
Which binder they like better,

03:46:25.580 --> 03:46:26.780
but they don't know whose binder it is.

03:46:26.780 --> 03:46:27.620
I love that.

03:46:27.620 --> 03:46:28.460
I love that.

03:46:28.460 --> 03:46:29.300
That is cool.

03:46:29.300 --> 03:46:31.820
Do you have the impartial judge already?

03:46:31.820 --> 03:46:32.820
No, not yet.

03:46:32.820 --> 03:46:33.900
Okay, I like that though.

03:46:33.900 --> 03:46:34.740
I like that.

03:46:34.740 --> 03:46:36.380
You don't even know who you're making the binder for.

03:46:36.380 --> 03:46:37.460
You're just making it.

03:46:37.460 --> 03:46:38.620
Oh, that's so fun.

03:46:38.620 --> 03:46:40.820
It's whatever you just kind of think is, you know,

03:46:40.820 --> 03:46:43.020
gonna resonate with this judge.

03:46:43.020 --> 03:46:44.340
I've heard Anna's a really good judge,

03:46:44.340 --> 03:46:47.100
so like if you need any help, you know.

03:46:47.100 --> 03:47:13.100
I would not be opposed to that at all. I think both of you have really good taste in cards too. I follow along on social media a little bit. So I would be a really good judge because I would really enjoy whatever you guys are thinking about. I'm really sure. But yesterday, Real Breaking Nate, you came out on top in the debate. Tell us, in case people missed that, tell them about the panel you two did.

03:47:13.100 --> 03:47:21.100
So we did the battle, Bracket Bonanza, trying to basically fight for the fan-favorite EV evolution

03:47:21.100 --> 03:47:27.100
here at the first Pokemon XP. And so we each kind of represented an EV evolution.

03:47:27.100 --> 03:47:34.100
And then it bracketed it out down to one winner. And it wasn't us voting, it was the fans voting.

03:47:34.100 --> 03:47:38.100
They put a QR code up on the screen and everybody got to vote.

03:47:38.100 --> 03:47:43.100
And so it came all the way down to Umbreon versus Sylveon.

03:47:43.100 --> 03:47:45.820
Which is a kind of matchup for each of us.

03:47:45.820 --> 03:47:46.820
You have a lose.

03:47:46.820 --> 03:47:47.320
Good.

03:47:47.320 --> 03:47:48.020
Our two favorites.

03:47:48.020 --> 03:47:50.820
But unfortunately for SuperDuperDanny,

03:47:50.820 --> 03:47:52.860
Sylveon came out on top.

03:47:52.860 --> 03:47:53.460
Yeah.

03:47:53.460 --> 03:47:55.260
I got smoked in the debate, man.

03:47:55.260 --> 03:47:57.820
I feel like you took a debate glass or something.

03:47:57.820 --> 03:47:58.940
No, I really didn't.

03:47:58.940 --> 03:48:00.300
This was like a full-on debate.

03:48:00.300 --> 03:48:02.580
Like we had like rebuttal time.

03:48:02.580 --> 03:48:03.460
Oh, man.

03:48:03.460 --> 03:48:03.960
Yeah.

03:48:03.960 --> 03:48:05.100
You had some good points.

03:48:05.100 --> 03:48:06.580
I tried my best, though.

03:48:06.580 --> 03:48:11.380
I feel like I'm asking because I heard your strategy was kind of this appeal to friendship,

03:48:11.380 --> 03:48:13.180
like you feel the humanity.

03:48:13.180 --> 03:48:15.260
Is that the strat for your binder as well?

03:48:15.260 --> 03:48:16.260
Do you have a strategy?

03:48:16.260 --> 03:48:20.580
Oh, that's actually, I like that connection that you made there.

03:48:20.580 --> 03:48:21.580
Yeah.

03:48:21.580 --> 03:48:26.460
I don't think it's the my, well, no, I take that back and maybe it is.

03:48:26.460 --> 03:48:31.420
I definitely am trying to kind of, I guess, pull at the heartstrings for my binder.

03:48:31.420 --> 03:48:33.380
Maybe some nostalgia in there.

03:48:33.380 --> 03:48:34.380
Ooh.

03:48:34.380 --> 03:48:35.980
He's always playing mind games.

03:48:35.980 --> 03:48:43.060
I just want to win that's that's all I just want to win. Are you still looking for some that you haven't found yet for the binder?

03:48:43.060 --> 03:48:48.320
Oh, yes, definitely. Definitely. We're trying to get in like every minute we can of trading

03:48:48.320 --> 03:48:53.460
So I think we're probably gonna be trading up to like the very last minute possible. Where's the deadline?

03:48:54.180 --> 03:48:56.180
There is really no deadline

03:48:58.940 --> 03:49:00.940
Do you have a strategy Danny?

03:49:00.940 --> 03:49:06.580
I'm looking for honestly like a lot of really cute cards and a lot of illustration rears as well

03:49:10.580 --> 03:49:16.620
Both of these are very good strategies playing at the heartstrings cute cards. Yeah, absolutely nostalgia everybody loves

03:49:18.580 --> 03:49:22.000
Absolutely, yeah, I hear nostalgia and I immediately want to see what is in that

03:49:22.700 --> 03:49:27.940
I brought my trade binder for the first time today. I had it in my hotel room and I've just been so busy

03:49:27.940 --> 03:49:33.580
I haven't even gotten to go to the trade area yet, but it is full. It is ready to trade if there are people who are

03:49:33.740 --> 03:49:35.740
Coming to trade for the first time

03:49:35.940 --> 03:49:41.220
What advice would you give people who are just starting to trade at a big Pokemon event like this? Oh, man

03:49:41.220 --> 03:49:43.860
I mean, I feel like just be open to anything

03:49:43.860 --> 03:49:47.420
But there are so many options there that it is like a little bit overwhelming

03:49:47.420 --> 03:49:52.300
So maybe like in advance come up with some things that you're looking for like types of cards that you're looking for

03:49:52.300 --> 03:49:55.340
And really take a look at your cards and like know what you got to mm-hmm

03:49:55.340 --> 03:50:00.460
But yeah, I mean honestly just like go in there and have a good time because like there's so many Pokemon fans in there

03:50:00.460 --> 03:50:05.100
Just like having a blast right now. So yeah, I think it's good to go in with a goal

03:50:05.100 --> 03:50:08.460
Right, I think when you go in and you don't have that goal

03:50:08.460 --> 03:50:11.460
You can get very overwhelmed very fast, right?

03:50:11.460 --> 03:50:14.940
Because there is decades worth of Pokemon cards at this point

03:50:14.940 --> 03:50:21.740
Yeah, and so having that goal kind of like helps you focus on what you're looking for because there is so many cute cards

03:50:21.740 --> 03:50:26.060
And just like fun cards in general that yeah, you definitely will

03:50:27.740 --> 03:50:29.740
Start sweating after

03:50:30.340 --> 03:50:33.800
There's a lot of overwhelm that can happen. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely

03:50:34.500 --> 03:50:37.500
When you're trading in general not just for these binders

03:50:37.580 --> 03:50:44.860
Do you do you have a usual goal that you're usually looking for either of you or are there usually a specific card where you're like?

03:50:44.860 --> 03:50:46.540
This is the new chase

03:50:46.540 --> 03:50:51.860
Well, I think for me, I have definitely probably went down maybe the wrong route

03:50:52.300 --> 03:50:55.560
And that is I try to collect every single card

03:50:57.660 --> 03:51:01.020
Yeah, I literally have what what I call a Pokemon card library

03:51:01.020 --> 03:51:07.320
And so I have a binder for every English set that's ever been released every promo generation everything amazing

03:51:07.320 --> 03:51:09.940
And so I wouldn't say wrong. I would say challenging

03:51:11.140 --> 03:51:15.060
It is fun because I always say it's not about like trying to complete it

03:51:15.060 --> 03:51:19.480
It's about the journey of completing it, right?

03:51:19.480 --> 03:51:24.020
Like, I don't want to just simply just pull every card or, you know,

03:51:24.020 --> 03:51:29.480
I want to like meet people and make friends and kind of like create that connection along the way.

03:51:29.480 --> 03:51:34.840
So I actually don't want to complete it because then that means like the funds over.

03:51:34.840 --> 03:51:35.940
Your hands are over.

03:51:35.940 --> 03:51:37.040
Yeah, the journey's over.

03:51:37.040 --> 03:51:40.580
So, but that's why I kind of do that.

03:51:40.580 --> 03:51:44.680
So I feel like that's really good advice for new traders as well.

03:51:44.680 --> 03:51:49.080
because I think when I first got into trading I was so focused on completing things and then I got that feeling after

03:51:49.080 --> 03:51:51.240
I was like, but now I'm done. Exactly.

03:51:51.240 --> 03:51:57.840
So I have a similar thing where I'm like, I want to trade for all of these cards or I want to personally open these, you know?

03:51:57.840 --> 03:51:59.120
So I think that's good advice.

03:51:59.120 --> 03:52:08.560
And I think when you go back and like look at your binder, you'll see certain cards and be like, oh, I traded that at the Pokemon XP 2026 event, right?

03:52:08.560 --> 03:52:14.520
Like you you have those memories and you come back and maybe even run into those people that you traded with

03:52:14.520 --> 03:52:16.520
And so you're gonna have that like little connection

03:52:16.840 --> 03:52:18.840
Even if it is just a card absolutely

03:52:19.200 --> 03:52:20.440
So nice

03:52:20.440 --> 03:52:24.600
Honestly, like I've really been enjoying collecting like a lot of the cards that I've been pulling from the packs

03:52:24.600 --> 03:52:29.480
Yeah, I really really love opening cards and like chasing those very specific ones

03:52:29.480 --> 03:52:35.200
I am trying to go for some of the more modern sets. I am not trying to master set all of the old sets

03:52:35.200 --> 03:52:36.900
You're crazy.

03:52:36.900 --> 03:52:39.100
Yeah, like every single set.

03:52:39.100 --> 03:52:40.100
Oh my God.

03:52:40.100 --> 03:52:43.940
Yeah, you should see his, he's got like a whole collection of them in the library, like in

03:52:43.940 --> 03:52:45.740
like color coded order.

03:52:45.740 --> 03:52:47.220
Yeah, color coded.

03:52:47.220 --> 03:52:48.720
Yeah, it's like in color.

03:52:48.720 --> 03:52:52.540
Yeah, it looks like a rainbow, so it's got that kind of like pattern, but it's like

03:52:52.540 --> 03:52:55.060
all in chronological order.

03:52:55.060 --> 03:52:56.060
Okay.

03:52:56.060 --> 03:53:01.020
I'm imagining you like in like a house coat, like, ah, yes, this is all yours.

03:53:01.020 --> 03:53:09.020
Yeah, let me show you this fine vintage book, you know, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

03:53:09.020 --> 03:53:21.020
Now I want to kind of use you as an example here, but I'm going to ask you guys, do you have any more obscure Pokemon or card types that you're specifically trying to collect kind of on their own standalone collection?

03:53:21.020 --> 03:53:23.020
Because Anna specifically has an Alolan Executive Rinder.

03:53:23.020 --> 03:53:24.020
Whoa.

03:53:24.020 --> 03:53:25.020
I've seen this.

03:53:25.020 --> 03:53:26.020
Yeah, I've seen this.

03:53:26.020 --> 03:53:29.020
Yeah, it is not large, but it is special.

03:53:29.020 --> 03:53:29.860
but it is special.

03:53:29.860 --> 03:53:30.700
It exists.

03:53:30.700 --> 03:53:32.540
It is something that you like to collect.

03:53:32.540 --> 03:53:33.900
And you guys have something like that?

03:53:33.900 --> 03:53:35.260
Danny, start with you.

03:53:35.260 --> 03:53:36.100
I have.

03:53:36.100 --> 03:53:39.300
And this was actually started from our different binder

03:53:39.300 --> 03:53:41.420
challenge video that we did together in Japan.

03:53:41.420 --> 03:53:44.220
I have a Yukamori binder that I'm building out.

03:53:44.220 --> 03:53:46.340
So trying to get all the clay art cards,

03:53:46.340 --> 03:53:49.260
eventually it is going to take me ages.

03:53:49.260 --> 03:53:51.180
But I got a really good start when we were in Japan.

03:53:51.180 --> 03:53:53.980
We went to card stores all over the country,

03:53:53.980 --> 03:53:56.100
looking for specific art artists.

03:53:56.100 --> 03:53:57.780
Talk about shopping in another country.

03:53:57.780 --> 03:54:00.980
What is it like doing something that you love

03:54:00.980 --> 03:54:03.940
and then going and experiencing that in a whole other culture

03:54:03.940 --> 03:54:06.380
and finding people across the world that love to do that?

03:54:06.380 --> 03:54:07.700
Oh man, yeah, it's awesome.

03:54:07.700 --> 03:54:09.580
Especially in Japan because there are so many

03:54:09.580 --> 03:54:12.180
different card stores and it seems like it's really

03:54:12.180 --> 03:54:14.100
like in the culture there.

03:54:14.100 --> 03:54:16.780
Pokemon is so in everything there.

03:54:16.780 --> 03:54:19.660
We have gone to card stores in Thailand and Peru

03:54:19.660 --> 03:54:22.060
and Taiwan and South Korea.

03:54:22.060 --> 03:54:24.820
And it really is interesting to see the full collections

03:54:24.820 --> 03:54:25.660
of these different cards.

03:54:25.660 --> 03:54:29.560
cards are exclusive in different areas that you can't get other places and

03:54:29.560 --> 03:54:33.260
like one thing that's common amongst all is that there's always some really

03:54:33.260 --> 03:54:35.820
really passionate Pokemon fans in all these places.

03:54:35.820 --> 03:54:38.220
Are there any cards that are not English?

03:54:38.220 --> 03:54:41.980
Because I think a lot of us primarily probably collect English as a native

03:54:41.980 --> 03:54:45.100
English speaker but are there any other language cards that you particularly

03:54:45.100 --> 03:54:48.220
like that you're like these are the ones that I go for that maybe other

03:54:48.220 --> 03:54:50.580
people don't look at but I love.

03:54:50.580 --> 03:54:55.300
In other languages I mean I honestly if there's like regional

03:54:55.300 --> 03:55:00.700
Exclusives or those types of cards. I think I generally am just drawn more to those because we don't have them here

03:55:00.700 --> 03:55:04.680
Yeah, so I would say yeah cards that are maybe printed in only specific languages

03:55:04.680 --> 03:55:09.160
We're like from special events in other countries. I definitely try to get mm-hmm. Yeah, what about you?

03:55:09.160 --> 03:55:15.240
Yeah, Japan has so many exclusives. We've been over there numerous times right and we'll just be looking at

03:55:16.320 --> 03:55:18.320
Binder and be like I have no

03:55:18.640 --> 03:55:20.640
Where did this card come?

03:55:20.640 --> 03:55:22.140
I've been looking this card before.

03:55:22.140 --> 03:55:23.140
I'd like to look it up.

03:55:23.140 --> 03:55:26.800
And Pokemon's done so many fun collaborations in Japan,

03:55:26.800 --> 03:55:29.920
and I love having a stamp on a card.

03:55:29.920 --> 03:55:30.320
Yes.

03:55:30.320 --> 03:55:32.000
OK, yeah, yeah.

03:55:32.000 --> 03:55:33.920
I just find it fun for some reason, right?

03:55:33.920 --> 03:55:36.960
Because I feel like it's almost like part of history,

03:55:36.960 --> 03:55:37.460
in a way.

03:55:37.460 --> 03:55:39.840
It's special, because for this specific thing, yeah.

03:55:39.840 --> 03:55:41.880
And then if you find it in Japan,

03:55:41.880 --> 03:55:44.000
like it's even more special, I feel like.

03:55:44.000 --> 03:55:47.880
So I love stamped cards, and trying

03:55:47.880 --> 03:55:53.900
get exclusive stuff from any other country, it can be very difficult as well, but once

03:55:53.900 --> 03:55:58.100
again it's all part of the journey, right, of trying to complete these things.

03:55:58.100 --> 03:56:03.140
I mean if we're talking about commemorative stamps in this case, but just in general kind

03:56:03.140 --> 03:56:07.780
of tying it in here to Pokemon XP, what is your favorite commemorative item that you're

03:56:07.780 --> 03:56:10.220
going to be going home with after this weekend?

03:56:10.220 --> 03:56:11.220
Oh jeez.

03:56:11.220 --> 03:56:14.220
Where do we even start with that?

03:56:14.220 --> 03:56:18.220
Yeah, I don't know because there were so many special items at the Pokemon Center as well.

03:56:18.220 --> 03:56:22.220
There were multiple promo cards from this event.

03:56:22.220 --> 03:56:24.220
I don't know if I could pick one.

03:56:24.220 --> 03:56:30.220
I mean, a really neat one is I did get a signed poster by Jerky.

03:56:30.220 --> 03:56:32.220
Oh, you did it really?

03:56:32.220 --> 03:56:34.220
Whoa, that's so cool.

03:56:34.220 --> 03:56:36.220
So it's the Drippy illustration rare.

03:56:36.220 --> 03:56:38.220
Yeah, you know what? You're so right.

03:56:38.220 --> 03:56:40.220
So yeah, we both got to meet a TCG artist.

03:56:40.220 --> 03:56:42.220
That was so cool.

03:56:42.220 --> 03:56:46.700
one of my favorite artists that's so cool yeah was it down at the kind of museum

03:56:46.700 --> 03:56:52.700
area or did you it was at a like a tcg artist signing that had an autograph

03:56:52.700 --> 03:56:58.460
room cool but yeah we each got to meet a card artist that was so special it's a

03:56:58.460 --> 03:57:02.540
neat little mecha for sure yeah it's a print of one like one of their cards

03:57:02.540 --> 03:57:06.940
wow which one did you bring them? Tika Matsuno the mega meganium

03:57:06.940 --> 03:57:10.780
he had such an illustration area wow that's so cool and that's another fun

03:57:10.780 --> 03:57:16.780
about this event right, Pokemon XP, like you have a chance to possibly meet an artist, right,

03:57:16.780 --> 03:57:22.100
these cards that you hold in your hands, like it's actually drawn by people, and to be able

03:57:22.100 --> 03:57:26.780
to see them here is just really, really neat, even if it's for a brief moment, right, like

03:57:26.780 --> 03:57:31.620
they're creating art, they're creating masterpieces, it's literally all around the world.

03:57:31.620 --> 03:57:36.460
Tell us a little bit more about, because I agree with you, I love having a card that

03:57:36.460 --> 03:57:37.620
has a story behind it.

03:57:37.620 --> 03:57:39.700
You know, I traded for this at this event

03:57:39.700 --> 03:57:42.820
or I got this promo because I was there.

03:57:42.820 --> 03:57:45.580
Are there any ways that you specifically categorize

03:57:45.580 --> 03:57:48.300
or mark those things so that you can look at them

03:57:48.300 --> 03:57:49.140
with nostalgia?

03:57:49.140 --> 03:57:50.420
Do you just remember them all?

03:57:50.420 --> 03:57:53.860
No, so I actually, really funny that you say that

03:57:53.860 --> 03:57:57.100
is that I have these little like trade slips

03:57:57.100 --> 03:57:58.100
that I have made.

03:57:58.100 --> 03:57:59.060
Oh my gosh, I do this too.

03:57:59.060 --> 03:58:00.740
I'm so excited that you're saying this.

03:58:00.740 --> 03:58:02.460
I have these little trade slips that I made

03:58:02.460 --> 03:58:05.420
and I have like their name and like what I traded

03:58:05.420 --> 03:58:08.340
and what they traded, what event it was at.

03:58:08.340 --> 03:58:13.340
And then I try to take a little Polaroid picture

03:58:13.340 --> 03:58:15.060
that fits inside of the binder.

03:58:15.060 --> 03:58:16.500
So I put the slip behind the card

03:58:16.500 --> 03:58:18.420
and then the Polaroid picture behind that.

03:58:18.420 --> 03:58:22.780
And so that way I kind of can remember,

03:58:22.780 --> 03:58:24.940
once I get old and I can't remember anything,

03:58:24.940 --> 03:58:27.340
I can have that little trade slip.

03:58:27.340 --> 03:58:28.180
Enough cards.

03:58:28.180 --> 03:58:30.220
It's hard to remember when one was which.

03:58:30.220 --> 03:58:32.740
So the picture is a really good idea.

03:58:32.740 --> 03:58:33.580
Yeah, it's neat.

03:58:33.580 --> 03:58:36.120
And you never know who you're trading with, right?

03:58:36.120 --> 03:58:38.960
And maybe you traded with somebody 10 years ago

03:58:38.960 --> 03:58:40.360
and then you traded with me then, right?

03:58:40.360 --> 03:58:43.400
And you can just kind of see both of yourselves growing up

03:58:43.400 --> 03:58:44.400
at the same time.

03:58:44.400 --> 03:58:45.400
Yeah, that's so sweet.

03:58:45.400 --> 03:58:46.400
Wow, that's so cool.

03:58:46.400 --> 03:58:48.960
We actually, we hung out with the Polaroid people

03:58:48.960 --> 03:58:50.960
by the Pokemon Center.

03:58:50.960 --> 03:58:53.040
And I'm already like, that little film would look so cute

03:58:53.040 --> 03:58:54.560
and hanging behind my binder.

03:58:54.560 --> 03:58:58.080
Yeah, with the special frames on them.

03:58:58.080 --> 03:59:00.600
Because I mean, I'm doing like the lowest end version

03:59:00.600 --> 03:59:02.520
of that where I like cut up some computer paper

03:59:02.520 --> 03:59:07.560
right in the end like I got this at Pokemon XP 2026 and then I shoved that

03:59:07.560 --> 03:59:11.480
behind the card but I like the idea of making a special slip yeah I can I can

03:59:11.480 --> 03:59:16.040
learn a lot from you guys I think you I think you should I mean you know

03:59:16.040 --> 03:59:22.440
writing on paper is good you remember but now if you want to go that extra

03:59:22.440 --> 03:59:27.000
mile you know yeah has it up a little bit yeah all right well we actually are

03:59:27.000 --> 03:59:32.000
going to go to a panel very very soon but as we're we're wrapping up day

03:59:32.000 --> 03:59:36.000
We're more than halfway through the day of our last day.

03:59:36.000 --> 03:59:41.000
What are some of the closing thoughts that you'd like to leave the community at home with about Pokemon XP?

03:59:41.000 --> 03:59:44.000
What would you like to share with them about what it's been like to be here

03:59:44.000 --> 03:59:48.000
or something that you hope they will take with them from Pokemon XP?

03:59:48.000 --> 03:59:53.000
Oh man, I think that it's just like a full community event for any type of Pokemon fan.

03:59:53.000 --> 03:59:57.000
Like whatever type of Pokemon fan you are, you're going to have a great time here.

03:59:57.000 --> 03:59:58.000
I've had an absolute blast.

03:59:58.000 --> 04:00:01.000
It's been fully packed and we still haven't seen everything here.

04:00:01.000 --> 04:00:06.360
Yeah, yeah, it's it's something for everybody. There is something here for everybody

04:00:06.360 --> 04:00:12.360
I think Pokemon worlds has grown so much even over the past 10 years right now

04:00:12.360 --> 04:00:19.060
We have Pokemon XP attached to Pokemon worlds and like even you know, I'm looking at the food over here

04:00:19.060 --> 04:00:23.960
And the food is being right every every little detail is

04:00:24.880 --> 04:00:26.880
Absolutely amazing and so I

04:00:26.880 --> 04:00:32.480
I literally do not think anybody would be bored coming here because like you said Danny

04:00:32.480 --> 04:00:36.400
but we haven't seen everything at this point like somebody will say something to us but

04:00:36.400 --> 04:00:37.400
have you been here?

04:00:37.400 --> 04:00:39.400
We had no idea this even existed.

04:00:39.400 --> 04:00:40.400
Yeah.

04:00:40.400 --> 04:00:44.240
We've been seeing that through people's messages as well using the hashtag PokemonXP.

04:00:44.240 --> 04:00:47.440
We keep seeing things that they're showing us we're like we didn't know that was here.

04:00:47.440 --> 04:00:48.440
Thank you.

04:00:48.440 --> 04:00:49.440
You know what?

04:00:49.440 --> 04:00:53.440
Part of Pokemon is discovery and so that's what you can do here is you can discover

04:00:53.440 --> 04:00:57.960
things but most importantly I think making new friends along the way and

04:00:57.960 --> 04:01:02.760
you know creating some lasting memories and you know I think it's also

04:01:02.760 --> 04:01:05.720
important to shout out everybody behind the scenes that has brought this

04:01:05.720 --> 04:01:11.240
together over the past you know year week, hour long it took you know because

04:01:11.240 --> 04:01:14.040
this would not be here if it wasn't for everybody behind the scenes being

04:01:14.040 --> 04:01:17.320
together. And that is perfect because I am being told by one of those people

04:01:17.320 --> 04:01:20.240
behind the scenes that we have to go right now because we are going to

04:01:20.240 --> 04:01:27.240
watch the Pokemon gaming gauntlet. Let's do it.

04:03:50.240 --> 04:04:17.540
That is great to hear we have a really fun panel coming

04:04:17.540 --> 04:04:22.220
up with some awesome players awesome competition. I am Joe Brown. I'm your

04:04:22.220 --> 04:04:27.020
host for the gaming gauntlet and the Pokemon World Championships. They're a

04:04:27.020 --> 04:04:31.700
celebration of competition at the highest level, right? So whether over in the

04:04:31.700 --> 04:04:35.860
Chase Center today here on Championship Sunday, celebrating champions for

04:04:35.860 --> 04:04:39.300
Pokemon Unite, Pokemon Go, the Pokemon Trading Card game and the

04:04:39.300 --> 04:04:44.660
Pokemon video game, did you know we actually have a secret fifth

04:04:44.660 --> 04:04:49.660
Championship happening right here at the Pokemon XP stage.

04:04:49.660 --> 04:04:55.660
And that's what we're going to do right now with the Pokemon Gaming Gauntlet.

04:04:55.660 --> 04:05:03.660
So these, we're going to have amazing content creators come out to do a series of challenges in Pokemon Legends ZA.

04:05:03.660 --> 04:05:09.660
And whoever has the most points at the end will be leaving San Francisco as the Gaming Gauntlet Champion.

04:05:09.660 --> 04:05:11.660
We ready to introduce our creators?

04:05:11.660 --> 04:05:18.860
All right, turn to the stage, Agent B, Princess Diana, and our reigning champion,

04:05:18.860 --> 04:05:20.360
DuRage Dragon.

04:05:20.360 --> 04:05:21.860
Make some noise, everybody.

04:05:21.860 --> 04:05:24.660
All right, let's go.

04:05:24.660 --> 04:05:26.660
There they are.

04:05:26.660 --> 04:05:31.960
The competitors, they're feeling confident, they're feeling ready.

04:05:31.960 --> 04:05:38.460
We're gonna re-walk in, but only one will be the champion.

04:05:38.460 --> 04:05:39.760
How you doing, Joe?

04:05:39.760 --> 04:05:40.560
I'm good.

04:05:40.560 --> 04:05:41.560
You have to see it.

04:05:41.560 --> 04:05:42.560
It's very good.

04:05:42.560 --> 04:05:43.560
All right.

04:05:43.560 --> 04:05:47.440
So, we're going to have a lot of fun different surprises.

04:05:47.440 --> 04:05:49.720
Our competitors do not know what's coming.

04:05:49.720 --> 04:05:52.320
They know you're playing on Pokemon Legends EA, right?

04:05:52.320 --> 04:05:53.320
Yes.

04:05:53.320 --> 04:05:54.320
So, we'll go down the line and do right.

04:05:54.320 --> 04:05:57.360
You are the reigning champion of the gaming gauntlet.

04:05:57.360 --> 04:05:59.480
Does that add extra pressure here today?

04:05:59.480 --> 04:06:05.320
It definitely does, Joe, but, you know, under pressure, diamonds are made.

04:06:05.320 --> 04:06:07.280
So let's see how we can figure it out.

04:06:07.280 --> 04:06:08.280
That's a great plan.

04:06:08.280 --> 04:06:09.280
All right.

04:06:09.280 --> 04:06:15.240
Hope to see how you do today V. How are you feeling? I'm a little nervous, but I mean I played legends. Yeah

04:06:16.240 --> 04:06:22.720
Moderate amount, so I'm pretty I'm pretty excited. Okay, and Diana. I'm sure you're very locked in on legends

04:06:22.720 --> 04:06:25.560
I'm locked in. I'm ready. I'm a little nervous

04:06:25.560 --> 04:06:31.640
I gotta make sure I don't make a fool of myself on this stage in front of my friends over here. You'll be fine

04:06:32.280 --> 04:06:37.320
We're all winners here today except somebody's gonna be a bigger winner than the other two by the end

04:06:37.320 --> 04:06:42.820
I think the best way to start this off is with a three-way battle. What do you guys say?

04:06:44.440 --> 04:06:46.440
All right

04:06:47.080 --> 04:06:52.800
And remember Pokemon legends DA has a different battle system than the other games right now

04:06:52.800 --> 04:06:58.760
Just turn base you're running around you're moving. You're gonna have to try to dodge through different attacks with mega evolution

04:06:58.840 --> 04:07:04.400
So once we get that set up here is how it works gonna have all three of our competitors playing

04:07:04.400 --> 04:07:09.040
I believe it's three minute battle for the three-way battle here first place

04:07:09.040 --> 04:07:13.240
We'll get three points second place will get second and third place will get one

04:07:13.240 --> 04:07:18.020
We will continue to keep tally throughout the entire gaming gauntlet

04:07:18.020 --> 04:07:22.200
So let you know who is winning through each stage and this is one battle

04:07:22.200 --> 04:07:27.760
But of course we're gonna have a bunch of different silly things that they'll have to do running around Kalos and

04:07:28.000 --> 04:07:31.400
Trying to accomplish the goal be the gaming gauntlet

04:07:31.400 --> 04:07:35.400
How are we getting set up over here, guys?

04:07:35.400 --> 04:07:39.400
Well, V's going to create the room, Deanna and I are going to join in.

04:07:39.400 --> 04:07:45.400
Alright, so as you're creating that room, do our dragon, I'll ask you, what is your team for this battle?

04:07:45.400 --> 04:07:57.400
My team? Well, you know what? I think we've got a mix of my story team and we've got a mix of some of the Pokemon that are going to hopefully take me to my victory.

04:07:57.400 --> 04:08:03.180
So you guys will see in a minute. I'm scared about these twos. No, I listen. I'm a VGC player

04:08:03.180 --> 04:08:07.560
This is out of my comfort zone. So you guys have an advantage over me

04:08:10.900 --> 04:08:13.580
I press two buttons and that's all I need

04:08:14.500 --> 04:08:20.400
You know my team is just a bunch of like literally my the team that I went through the story with and they're just like my

04:08:20.560 --> 04:08:25.400
Friends and I'm just here to have a good time. We're just here to vibe out

04:08:25.400 --> 04:08:32.860
I like that. I think that's a positive mindset to have so whenever you guys are ready to get into the battle

04:08:32.860 --> 04:08:39.020
We can get it started our first competition of the gaming gauntlet and go under way

04:08:39.020 --> 04:08:41.020
I guess no restrictions

04:08:44.220 --> 04:08:48.820
Yeah, go ahead Joe be saying no no restriction over no mercy

04:08:48.820 --> 04:08:52.160
The game is setting up here.

04:08:52.160 --> 04:08:53.560
Yes.

04:08:53.560 --> 04:08:54.640
We have the party.

04:08:54.640 --> 04:08:59.160
Now remember, in these odds you choose three Pokemon, right?

04:08:59.160 --> 04:09:01.160
I'm pretty sure.

04:09:01.160 --> 04:09:03.840
Right when you're playing, I remember everyone was holding on.

04:09:03.840 --> 04:09:09.040
You're getting the megastones for Greninja, Delphox, and Chestnut.

04:09:09.040 --> 04:09:13.880
Looks like we are all set to go here.

04:09:13.880 --> 04:09:17.560
Let's get some noise, our first battle in the game.

04:09:17.560 --> 04:09:19.800
Gamers good luck have fun. Thank you guys

04:09:21.720 --> 04:09:24.120
I love this year in a competition

04:09:24.300 --> 04:09:27.840
Let's see if we're all still friends by the end of the gauntlet

04:09:27.840 --> 04:09:29.840
You guys are going to go easy on me right?

04:09:29.840 --> 04:09:32.840
Getting into it. Oh! Dragonite I like that.

04:09:32.840 --> 04:09:33.840
Oh!

04:09:33.840 --> 04:09:34.840
Oh!

04:09:34.840 --> 04:09:35.840
Dragonite!

04:09:35.840 --> 04:09:36.840
Dragonite!

04:09:36.840 --> 04:09:39.340
Our reigning gaming gauntlet champion

04:09:39.340 --> 04:09:43.840
You can see on the screen here are three players running around

04:09:43.840 --> 04:09:45.780
If you have not played Pokemon Legend ZA,

04:09:45.780 --> 04:09:48.300
how the battle royale system works

04:09:48.300 --> 04:09:50.580
is you can swap your Pokemon in and out,

04:09:50.580 --> 04:09:54.280
you can pick up different abilities or different,

04:09:54.280 --> 04:09:56.380
let's say buffs there on the ground

04:09:56.380 --> 04:09:57.840
that can make you move faster,

04:09:57.840 --> 04:10:00.620
make you do more damage, make you take less damage,

04:10:00.620 --> 04:10:04.320
or build up your mega evolution meter.

04:10:04.320 --> 04:10:08.220
And that's what I really want to see in this moment.

04:10:08.220 --> 04:10:12.420
Who is gonna be able to mega evolve first in gear?

04:10:12.420 --> 04:10:15.700
We have a Zernius there on the other side of the fair,

04:10:15.700 --> 04:10:19.140
but there's no fairing in the game in this conflict.

04:10:19.140 --> 04:10:22.180
Calm mind, Clefable, as well, trying to counteract.

04:10:22.180 --> 04:10:24.100
Well, I spoke too soon.

04:10:24.100 --> 04:10:25.100
Oh!

04:10:25.100 --> 04:10:26.340
Clefable, not around.

04:10:26.340 --> 04:10:30.460
One of my favorite Pokemon items in the ZA battle

04:10:30.460 --> 04:10:31.580
is Absol.

04:10:31.580 --> 04:10:33.020
It's super fast.

04:10:33.020 --> 04:10:36.700
It has really fast attack animations as well.

04:10:36.700 --> 04:10:38.260
And when you zoom, Mega Evolve

04:10:38.260 --> 04:10:40.260
is just like you see in Mega Crawl Slash.

04:10:40.260 --> 04:10:41.620
Evolve in this spot.

04:10:41.620 --> 04:10:44.380
the asshole can attack and strike really hard.

04:10:44.380 --> 04:10:46.180
I'm so I got to hit you behind.

04:10:46.180 --> 04:10:49.020
You're so, I'm taking in from that.

04:10:49.020 --> 04:10:49.860
What can I say?

04:10:49.860 --> 04:10:52.660
Maybe I was underestimated myself.

04:10:52.660 --> 04:10:53.500
Oh, there you go.

04:10:53.500 --> 04:10:55.500
You found the confidence you need here.

04:10:55.500 --> 04:10:58.100
But remember, direct dragon is the champion.

04:10:58.100 --> 04:11:01.300
These are familiar battles for him right now.

04:11:01.300 --> 04:11:02.660
And it takes three minutes out of it.

04:11:02.660 --> 04:11:06.780
We have 90 seconds left in this moment.

04:11:06.780 --> 04:11:10.300
And it really does as the momentum starts to pick up.

04:11:10.300 --> 04:11:15.300
Every time you get a knockout, you see the points on the side where you see 222 for the three of them.

04:11:15.300 --> 04:11:17.900
That is how many points you've gotten in the match.

04:11:17.900 --> 04:11:25.600
You can get points from doing different tasks, like picking up different orbs, or getting more knockouts than your other opponents here.

04:11:25.600 --> 04:11:27.900
That's Zernius.

04:11:27.900 --> 04:11:33.900
But Vega extra drill is not what Zernius wanted to see in this spot.

04:11:33.900 --> 04:11:38.600
Looks like we have 60 seconds left and it's still really close.

04:11:38.600 --> 04:11:47.600
But just do right. I think oh no. Diana has three points as well right now, but direct with the KO from mega extra drill putting it in the lead.

04:11:47.600 --> 04:11:56.000
This is so close. A lot of times when you're playing ZA online, it's like a clear favorite when there's only 30, 40 seconds left like you have right now.

04:11:56.000 --> 04:12:05.000
Someone might be well ahead of the pack, but it's just two to four to three. It is anybody's game. Who's going to dodge these last crucial hits?

04:12:05.000 --> 04:12:08.120
Who's gonna have the rightly timed mega evolution?

04:12:08.120 --> 04:12:12.920
Diana does mega bomb the delt box in the last 20 seconds.

04:12:12.920 --> 04:12:17.120
Hand it in your door and get some chaos with the fire attack.

04:12:17.120 --> 04:12:17.960
Did he get one?

04:12:17.960 --> 04:12:20.520
That's the most the delt box goes down!

04:12:20.520 --> 04:12:21.760
That's sticky, right?

04:12:21.760 --> 04:12:24.160
Oh, delt box does not have levitate.

04:12:24.160 --> 04:12:25.600
It's just ZA.

04:12:25.600 --> 04:12:28.360
Not able to fly away from these battles.

04:12:28.360 --> 04:12:31.720
Durag and V, both with four points.

04:12:31.720 --> 04:12:33.640
Is anyone getting the last second knocked out?

04:12:33.640 --> 04:12:39.520
Mega Barbarical goes down right at the last seconds.

04:12:39.520 --> 04:12:40.020
Wait.

04:12:40.020 --> 04:12:41.000
That was crazy.

04:12:41.000 --> 04:12:42.680
What would have happened if it died?

04:12:42.680 --> 04:12:43.800
I guess we'll never know.

04:12:43.800 --> 04:12:44.680
Bang, you're right.

04:12:44.680 --> 04:12:45.180
You're right.

04:12:45.180 --> 04:12:47.160
You're right.

04:12:47.160 --> 04:12:48.640
Congratulations to Red Dragon.

04:12:48.640 --> 04:12:50.520
He got the dub right at the last second.

04:12:50.520 --> 04:12:51.020
Thank you.

04:12:51.020 --> 04:12:51.680
How's it feel?

04:12:51.680 --> 04:12:52.880
Showing us how great that is.

04:12:52.880 --> 04:12:53.880
The question goes on there.

04:12:53.880 --> 04:12:54.920
We got it again.

04:12:54.920 --> 04:12:55.420
That's it.

04:12:55.420 --> 04:12:56.800
I just got to work on this.

04:12:56.800 --> 04:12:58.640
Serious trainers.

04:12:58.640 --> 04:13:00.080
Serious trainers.

04:13:00.080 --> 04:13:03.000
To be fair, we actually did pretty well against you

04:13:03.000 --> 04:13:04.740
You've got legendary poking on.

04:13:04.740 --> 04:13:05.740
That's so true.

04:13:05.740 --> 04:13:06.740
That is well.

04:13:06.740 --> 04:13:07.740
That's so true.

04:13:07.740 --> 04:13:09.740
Coming out with some legends over here.

04:13:09.740 --> 04:13:11.540
I'm just using my friends.

04:13:11.540 --> 04:13:13.340
I'm friends with legendaries.

04:13:13.340 --> 04:13:14.340
What can I say?

04:13:14.340 --> 04:13:15.340
You're a popular guy.

04:13:15.340 --> 04:13:17.540
Legendaries love D-Rag Dragon.

04:13:17.540 --> 04:13:18.540
That's it.

04:13:18.540 --> 04:13:20.040
Hey, a point is a point.

04:13:20.040 --> 04:13:23.480
So we're going to be able to keep Tally throughout the entirety of the gaming

04:13:23.480 --> 04:13:24.480
column.

04:13:24.480 --> 04:13:29.420
But as it stands right now, we have D-Rag Dragon in first place, then B in second

04:13:29.420 --> 04:13:31.220
and Diana in the third.

04:13:31.220 --> 04:13:35.300
remember, that is just one challenge in the gaming gauntlet.

04:13:35.300 --> 04:13:38.340
So let's get a round of applause for the first battle here.

04:13:38.340 --> 04:13:40.300
That was pretty awesome.

04:13:40.300 --> 04:13:43.220
Dragon did use Ernie's, but we're going to let it slide.

04:13:45.860 --> 04:13:49.500
All right, so now we can move on to our next round

04:13:49.500 --> 04:13:50.580
of competitions.

04:13:50.580 --> 04:13:52.020
And our competitors, like I said,

04:13:52.020 --> 04:13:54.420
they do not know what's going on.

04:13:54.420 --> 04:13:57.620
They don't know what each task is going to be.

04:13:57.620 --> 04:13:59.100
So it's actually going to be really exciting

04:13:59.100 --> 04:14:01.140
to see them scramble, try to figure out

04:14:01.140 --> 04:14:03.020
Oh, which Pokemon is in which wild zone?

04:14:03.020 --> 04:14:05.900
How am I gonna remember how to do this?

04:14:05.900 --> 04:14:10.620
And so we have a bunch of timed challenges

04:14:10.620 --> 04:14:13.540
upcoming in the gaming gauntlet.

04:14:13.540 --> 04:14:16.300
So these in round two, these time challenges

04:14:16.300 --> 04:14:19.820
are going to be 90 seconds each.

04:14:19.820 --> 04:14:21.140
They're very fast.

04:14:21.140 --> 04:14:24.380
You gotta be locked and ready to go.

04:14:24.380 --> 04:14:25.220
I gotta sit up.

04:14:25.220 --> 04:14:26.060
I know.

04:14:26.060 --> 04:14:26.900
I'm locked in.

04:14:26.900 --> 04:14:27.740
Yeah, I did, I did.

04:14:27.740 --> 04:14:29.380
You know, after losing the one thing

04:14:29.380 --> 04:14:32.280
Now you sit forward, now you're ready to go.

04:14:32.280 --> 04:14:35.540
So these are our time challenges, 90 seconds apiece.

04:14:35.540 --> 04:14:37.780
The first one will be the trainer

04:14:37.780 --> 04:14:42.780
that catches the most yellow Pokemon in 90 seconds wins.

04:14:44.060 --> 04:14:45.020
Is that right now?

04:14:45.980 --> 04:14:46.820
It's right now!

04:14:46.820 --> 04:14:50.460
Oh God, I think is there gonna be a timer production?

04:14:50.460 --> 04:14:52.260
Look at how many side quests I have to do.

04:14:52.260 --> 04:14:53.980
No, that's so true.

04:14:53.980 --> 04:14:55.500
I'm not, this is pretty awful.

04:14:55.500 --> 04:14:56.340
No, Joe.

04:14:56.340 --> 04:14:58.780
Okay, so we will have a timer,

04:14:58.780 --> 04:15:01.180
So get in your head, maybe certain different wild zones

04:15:01.180 --> 04:15:04.300
that you're thinking of that will be good.

04:15:04.300 --> 04:15:07.820
And 96 is going to go by a lot faster than anything.

04:15:09.140 --> 04:15:10.540
So what was that production?

04:15:10.540 --> 04:15:12.060
Is it any yellow Pokemon?

04:15:12.060 --> 04:15:12.900
Or is it?

04:15:12.900 --> 04:15:14.900
It's any yellow Pokemon.

04:15:14.900 --> 04:15:16.380
Do they have to be different?

04:15:18.500 --> 04:15:20.300
Listen, if they're yellow, they're yellow, right?

04:15:20.300 --> 04:15:21.300
All right, fair.

04:15:22.300 --> 04:15:23.540
All right, I think.

04:15:24.420 --> 04:15:26.220
Okay, let's get it going, let's get it going.

04:15:26.220 --> 04:15:27.060
Keep looking.

04:15:27.060 --> 04:15:29.320
Turns out the timer is running right now.

04:15:29.320 --> 04:15:31.260
So let's see.

04:15:31.260 --> 04:15:32.260
We're going up.

04:15:32.260 --> 04:15:35.980
What are the wild zones that you think are the best options?

04:15:35.980 --> 04:15:38.340
We have running around here.

04:15:38.340 --> 04:15:40.340
You can see the different perspectives.

04:15:40.340 --> 04:15:44.460
Remember, we have D-Wrek on the bottom with the dragonite

04:15:44.460 --> 04:15:45.780
here.

04:15:45.780 --> 04:15:47.020
Or no, Diana's on the bottom.

04:15:47.020 --> 04:15:47.420
Excuse me.

04:15:47.420 --> 04:15:49.500
Diana's just got a Pikachu.

04:15:49.500 --> 04:15:50.860
30 seconds remaining.

04:15:50.860 --> 04:15:52.860
That's how fast it moves.

04:15:52.860 --> 04:15:54.260
We have an account afterwards.

04:15:54.260 --> 04:15:56.580
How many yellow Pokemon you have

04:15:56.580 --> 04:16:00.980
caught. Wouldn't it be awesome if somebody catches a shiny also at the same time?

04:16:00.980 --> 04:16:02.780
That was another question that I had.

04:16:03.980 --> 04:16:07.180
We will cross that bridge if and when we get there.

04:16:07.180 --> 04:16:10.580
If someone catches a shiny, it might be worth a point on its own.

04:16:10.580 --> 04:16:12.680
I think there's only 10 seconds left.

04:16:12.680 --> 04:16:16.180
Diana, you gotta catch this Pikachu from Absol.

04:16:16.180 --> 04:16:18.780
There we go. Okay, flying around.

04:16:18.780 --> 04:16:19.780
I'm yellow.

04:16:20.780 --> 04:16:22.180
I don't even know.

04:16:22.680 --> 04:16:23.980
That is time.

04:16:23.980 --> 04:16:26.980
The Bound Suite is not yellow, correct?

04:16:26.980 --> 04:16:27.980
Okay.

04:16:27.980 --> 04:16:29.980
There's a little yellow on it, okay?

04:16:29.980 --> 04:16:31.980
Alright, so everybody go into your box.

04:16:31.980 --> 04:16:38.980
I'll come around and see how many of these yellow Pokemon we have caught.

04:16:38.980 --> 04:16:42.980
So, okay, Durega, I see that there were Pokemon

04:16:42.980 --> 04:16:44.980
prior in this box, correct?

04:16:44.980 --> 04:16:46.980
I don't think you just caught 18 Pokemon.

04:16:46.980 --> 04:16:47.980
No, no, no.

04:16:47.980 --> 04:16:48.980
I don't know if we count Marie.

04:16:48.980 --> 04:16:49.980
For me, it was just the two.

04:16:49.980 --> 04:16:50.980
Do we count Marie?

04:16:50.980 --> 04:16:53.620
Okay, so do you guys got the two Pikachu?

04:16:53.620 --> 04:16:57.620
V did you? Wait hold on, does the Mariep count?

04:16:57.620 --> 04:17:00.300
I don't know, I don't think it's been, I'm gonna enhance.

04:17:00.300 --> 04:17:01.540
No.

04:17:01.540 --> 04:17:04.500
Mariep is definitely yellow, crowd what do we think?

04:17:04.500 --> 04:17:06.700
Is Mariep yellow?

04:17:06.700 --> 04:17:09.380
Wait thumbs up or thumbs down, yes?

04:17:09.380 --> 04:17:14.020
I'm getting some thumbs up, so I think Mariep officially yellow,

04:17:14.020 --> 04:17:15.740
you heard it here first.

04:17:15.740 --> 04:17:20.180
V with four yellow Pokemon, Diana with three Pikachu's,

04:17:20.180 --> 04:17:23.520
one, two, three, last throw.

04:17:23.520 --> 04:17:25.180
Spupa, that was from the beginning.

04:17:25.180 --> 04:17:26.180
Spupa, oh, okay.

04:17:26.180 --> 04:17:29.520
Spupa is adorable, however, it is not yellow.

04:17:29.520 --> 04:17:32.020
He absolutely stands to put in that one side quest

04:17:32.020 --> 04:17:33.180
that you bought here.

04:17:33.180 --> 04:17:35.920
As we are tallying our points up for that round,

04:17:35.920 --> 04:17:37.520
let's get a round of applause for V

04:17:37.520 --> 04:17:40.520
cutting the most yellow Pokemon here.

04:17:41.520 --> 04:17:42.360
That's stressful.

04:17:42.360 --> 04:17:44.920
I mean, 90 seconds went just like that, right?

04:17:44.920 --> 04:17:46.260
Oh, yeah.

04:17:46.260 --> 04:17:48.420
You know, I forgot that you could knock them out

04:17:48.420 --> 04:17:49.260
to make it easy.

04:17:49.260 --> 04:17:50.640
That's hard to make them easier.

04:17:50.640 --> 04:17:52.140
Oh, you were just trying to throw out.

04:17:52.140 --> 04:17:56.660
You were just on the run throwing quick balls out there.

04:17:56.660 --> 04:17:57.460
All right.

04:17:57.460 --> 04:18:00.340
That might be the strategy for some of our other challenges.

04:18:00.340 --> 04:18:02.380
I'm not going to give away any spoilers,

04:18:02.380 --> 04:18:04.180
but that might be the strategy.

04:18:04.180 --> 04:18:06.540
Here is our update here.

04:18:06.540 --> 04:18:11.620
So we have Vy and Dragon actually tied right now.

04:18:11.620 --> 04:18:14.620
Then Princess Diana bringing up the rear book.

04:18:14.620 --> 04:18:16.140
You got a lot of time.

04:18:16.140 --> 04:18:19.460
We got a lot of time to come back here.

04:18:19.460 --> 04:18:20.760
This is going to be a complex story.

04:18:20.760 --> 04:18:24.640
Now, I will give you a moment to try to map this out

04:18:24.640 --> 04:18:29.040
in your brain, because our next 90-second challenge.

04:18:29.040 --> 04:18:32.120
It's not as simple as what color is these Pokemon.

04:18:32.120 --> 04:18:36.560
It is the trainer that catches two Pokemon

04:18:36.560 --> 04:18:39.640
with three syllable names first.

04:18:39.640 --> 04:18:40.880
Does that make sense?

04:18:40.880 --> 04:18:41.380
OK.

04:18:41.380 --> 04:18:44.840
So think of a Pokemon that has three syllables

04:18:44.840 --> 04:18:51.420
their name and whoever catches two first will win this challenge.

04:18:51.420 --> 04:18:52.420
Okay, okay.

04:18:52.420 --> 04:18:53.420
All right?

04:18:53.420 --> 04:18:55.460
We're all out of second and let's go.

04:18:55.460 --> 04:18:56.980
So start running around the map.

04:18:56.980 --> 04:19:01.020
You can think there's a million Pokemon that have three syllables in their name.

04:19:01.020 --> 04:19:04.700
We had a couple on the screen there, Sable, I, Pikachu, right?

04:19:04.700 --> 04:19:07.100
There's a whole bunch, Kipaldon, right?

04:19:07.100 --> 04:19:10.860
We're just trying to figure things off the top of my head.

04:19:10.860 --> 04:19:11.860
Guard of war.

04:19:11.860 --> 04:19:13.860
Is that where Diane is going?

04:19:13.860 --> 04:19:14.860
Okay.

04:19:14.860 --> 04:19:15.860
Oh, it pops out!

04:19:15.860 --> 04:19:17.860
The carnivore always runs away!

04:19:17.860 --> 04:19:20.860
Now it's a tough time to see.

04:19:20.860 --> 04:19:22.860
They are not yet there.

04:19:22.860 --> 04:19:23.860
Malamar, boom.

04:19:23.860 --> 04:19:24.860
You gotta spell it out.

04:19:24.860 --> 04:19:26.860
That's three syllable.

04:19:26.860 --> 04:19:27.860
We're done.

04:19:27.860 --> 04:19:28.860
Dragon, you got there?

04:19:28.860 --> 04:19:29.860
Yep.

04:19:29.860 --> 04:19:30.860
Let's see the box.

04:19:30.860 --> 04:19:31.860
Let's see the box.

04:19:31.860 --> 04:19:32.860
Yeah.

04:19:32.860 --> 04:19:33.860
Run away, you're good.

04:19:33.860 --> 04:19:35.860
Run for these evil hound ours.

04:19:35.860 --> 04:19:37.860
You know, they're coming after you.

04:19:37.860 --> 04:19:40.860
It was a barnacle or a monkey coat.

04:19:40.860 --> 04:19:41.860
Okay.

04:19:41.860 --> 04:19:48.820
They have to be the same or do they just need to be so these have to be three syllables where we got we have bar

04:19:49.740 --> 04:19:54.240
Bionicle and Magikarp those are three syllable poke a barn

04:19:54.240 --> 04:19:59.060
I don't even think that's like 90 seconds guys. That was super fast really

04:20:03.500 --> 04:20:07.660
When it comes to catching binnacles drag-dragging doesn't waste any time

04:20:07.660 --> 04:20:15.300
time right now. All right. It was an alpha 2. Oh, you gave a half point for him. I was

04:20:15.300 --> 04:20:21.020
just going to do a bad measure. If it was a shiny alpha, maybe it'd be worth it. Maybe.

04:20:21.020 --> 04:20:26.540
Next time. Next time. But, bro, in the previous round, I got three Pika chews. I'm happy

04:20:26.540 --> 04:20:33.720
for you. However, that was to catch yellow Pokemon. You just so happened to catch three

04:20:33.720 --> 04:20:49.720
I respect the hustle and I respect looking at the leaderboards right now do you ride dragon's the one that gets the point for that challenge so dragon in first place was four agent V in second with three and Diana I got faith I got faith.

04:20:49.720 --> 04:20:52.720
Listen it's not my fault Gordavor didn't want to sing in the ball.

04:20:52.720 --> 04:20:57.720
The Gordavor was that was heartbreaking that was really smart to go to wild zone 20.

04:20:57.720 --> 04:21:01.720
Perfect and that was a very smart play.

04:21:01.720 --> 04:21:07.720
But unfortunately, she's happy for not looking for a big enough house in Pocopia.

04:21:07.720 --> 04:21:08.720
True.

04:21:08.720 --> 04:21:09.720
True.

04:21:09.720 --> 04:21:10.720
Gotta update the habitats here.

04:21:10.720 --> 04:21:11.720
Okay.

04:21:11.720 --> 04:21:16.560
Now, audience, we are going to need your help on this next challenge.

04:21:16.560 --> 04:21:18.720
Are you up to the task?

04:21:18.720 --> 04:21:22.640
Alright, that's what I love to hear.

04:21:22.640 --> 04:21:30.720
So our next timed challenge, you have 90 seconds to catch the cutest Pokemon.

04:21:30.720 --> 04:21:38.760
All right, so how this works is you decide you have 90 seconds starting now go to a wild

04:21:38.760 --> 04:21:43.320
zone go wherever you want where you think the cutest Pokemon lives I'm not going to whichever

04:21:43.320 --> 04:21:48.080
habitat whichever wild zone it's not going to give you any advice and then you you

04:21:48.080 --> 04:21:54.160
can catch multiple and you know in that 90 second time frame and you will nominate a

04:21:54.160 --> 04:22:00.420
Pokemon that you deem the cutest that you have caught in this 90 seconds and so

04:22:00.420 --> 04:22:04.300
friends in the crowd you got to be diligent you got to pay attention and

04:22:04.300 --> 04:22:09.180
vote with your hearts and vote with your cheers on who you think caught the

04:22:09.180 --> 04:22:17.020
cutest Pokemon in this time to challenge so we got we got direct in a

04:22:17.020 --> 04:22:21.460
fight here oh with the kengis guy on the fur proves with these going up to

04:22:21.460 --> 04:22:26.460
wild zone 18. I don't know Alpha Salamence is cute, but to each their own V.

04:22:26.460 --> 04:22:28.460
Oh, that's just cute.

04:22:28.460 --> 04:22:31.460
Oh, that's true. That's really cute. Okay.

04:22:31.460 --> 04:22:36.460
Now, Diana's face off a run-access to Heracross. What did boys do to be a part of this?

04:22:36.460 --> 04:22:38.460
I'm just trying to get this fifth one.

04:22:38.460 --> 04:22:44.460
Oh, time to get to the Vianne. Okay. Everybody lost a nice beautiful Vianne.

04:22:44.460 --> 04:22:46.460
Oh, no. Vianne doesn't like being in the air.

04:22:46.460 --> 04:22:49.460
But the leaves fell in the way. How many seconds do we have left?

04:22:49.460 --> 04:22:54.740
We have a 20 seconds left, just like that, 10 seconds go off the board.

04:22:54.740 --> 04:22:59.400
20 seconds remaining, 15 seconds, remember, you can catch multiple and

04:22:59.400 --> 04:23:06.260
you're going to nominate the cutest Pokemon, oh, there's a kisser, 5 seconds left.

04:23:06.260 --> 04:23:09.260
Let's throw a Pokemon, Diana!

04:23:09.260 --> 04:23:13.260
And that is 90 seconds time!

04:23:13.260 --> 04:23:18.260
That's time, I think the Kangas Com was hit before I said time, so.

04:23:18.260 --> 04:23:20.260
I hope everybody saw none of them.

04:23:20.260 --> 04:23:21.260
Oh, it didn't catch.

04:23:21.260 --> 04:23:22.260
Okay.

04:23:22.260 --> 04:23:24.260
So, everybody go out to a safe area.

04:23:24.260 --> 04:23:26.260
You're out of the wild zone, so they stop attacking you.

04:23:26.260 --> 04:23:30.260
So you can go into your box to show it off here.

04:23:30.260 --> 04:23:31.260
I have nothing to show.

04:23:31.260 --> 04:23:32.260
They didn't stay in the ball.

04:23:32.260 --> 04:23:33.260
No.

04:23:33.260 --> 04:23:34.260
None of them stayed in the ball.

04:23:34.260 --> 04:23:36.260
They all escaped.

04:23:36.260 --> 04:23:40.260
I'm not having a good day.

04:23:40.260 --> 04:23:41.260
What if we have...

04:23:41.260 --> 04:23:42.260
Oh my goodness.

04:23:42.260 --> 04:23:43.260
Okay.

04:23:43.260 --> 04:23:44.260
So, for anyone who didn't hear that,

04:23:44.260 --> 04:23:52.260
We had a bring your cutest Pokemon to class competition and Diana came up empty.

04:23:52.260 --> 04:23:54.260
They didn't want to come hang out with me.

04:23:54.260 --> 04:23:55.260
I understand though.

04:23:55.260 --> 04:23:56.260
That's difficult.

04:23:56.260 --> 04:24:00.260
Okay, so can we all get an imaginary round of applause for Diana for her cute Pokemon?

04:24:00.260 --> 04:24:02.260
That is the best y'all.

04:24:02.260 --> 04:24:03.260
That's the best.

04:24:03.260 --> 04:24:06.260
You know, first place in our hearts, right?

04:24:06.260 --> 04:24:09.260
It could have been any Pokemon since none of them were caught.

04:24:09.260 --> 04:24:13.260
Okay, V, what are you nominating as the cutest Pokemon you've just caught?

04:24:13.260 --> 04:24:18.580
You've just caught so I know I fought for my life in that wild zone with the giant salamence to catch that big on and big

04:24:18.580 --> 04:24:22.100
On is very cute. We can all agree on this right? Oh, very. Oh

04:24:24.060 --> 04:24:25.660
Yes, thank you

04:24:25.660 --> 04:24:29.900
But I think I'm gonna I caught this vanilla and I thought you're nominating vanilla

04:24:30.540 --> 04:24:37.340
Okay, maybe taking advantage of the summer heat right people might have a delicious a delicious frozen vanilla here

04:24:37.340 --> 04:24:39.340
All right dragon. Who are we nominating?

04:24:39.580 --> 04:24:42.420
I've got quite an interesting one actually

04:24:43.260 --> 04:24:50.060
Okay, I've got myself here a binary, which you know, yeah, ordinarily we know is cute. Yeah, however my binary

04:24:50.700 --> 04:24:52.700
No splash

04:24:54.260 --> 04:25:00.380
Imagine a binary splashing about isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen that might be the cutest thing

04:25:00.380 --> 04:25:04.180
I've ever seen. What does your vanilla do? Um, it gets self-destruct

04:25:04.180 --> 04:25:10.180
That's cute! That's cute!

04:25:10.180 --> 04:25:13.180
That adorable move, self-destruct.

04:25:13.180 --> 04:25:17.180
It's just so overcome with cuteness, it's just self-destruct.

04:25:17.180 --> 04:25:22.180
Okay, so, and remember, they're tied right now, right?

04:25:22.180 --> 04:25:25.180
This is gonna be a big break between the two of you.

04:25:25.180 --> 04:25:27.180
So, audience, we'll start with V.

04:25:27.180 --> 04:25:31.180
If you think the self-destructing Vanilla was the cutest Pokémon, cheer!

04:25:31.180 --> 04:25:42.180
here. Okay, and now what about the baneery splashing about? How cute is that?

04:25:42.180 --> 04:25:56.180
A little delayed. I'm pretty sure the self-destruct does that one there.

04:25:56.180 --> 04:25:57.180
And so we...

04:25:57.180 --> 04:25:58.180
Is anybody ready?

04:25:58.180 --> 04:25:59.180
Anybody ready?

04:25:59.180 --> 04:26:00.180
We're ready.

04:26:00.180 --> 04:26:02.180
Oh, oh, oh, she's out!

04:26:02.180 --> 04:26:04.180
Actually, it's so good.

04:26:04.180 --> 04:26:06.180
Oh, my God.

04:26:06.180 --> 04:26:07.180
Oh.

04:26:07.180 --> 04:26:08.180
Yes.

04:26:08.180 --> 04:26:11.180
What a good use of seven mega-shards.

04:26:11.180 --> 04:26:12.180
You know?

04:26:12.180 --> 04:26:14.180
Absolutely great use there.

04:26:14.180 --> 04:26:19.180
So congratulations to V, picking up the point there right now.

04:26:19.180 --> 04:26:22.180
And believe that this competition is not over, team.

04:26:22.180 --> 04:26:25.180
There's still a lot of time left in the game in Gala.

04:26:25.180 --> 04:26:30.380
I'm talking to you Diana. Don't give up hope. I'm trying maybe they'll want to be my friend this time

04:26:30.380 --> 04:26:37.960
The sun is literally shining on you and your game. We're gonna try it on here. We are with the points out balls on me

04:26:37.960 --> 04:26:41.660
I should have gotten older balls. I'm throwing premier balls. I

04:26:42.620 --> 04:26:46.840
Have both balls now tied four points of heats between V and

04:26:47.380 --> 04:26:51.420
Dragon we're moving on to our next challenge in the game in garlic

04:26:51.420 --> 04:26:54.220
And this is a two minute challenge.

04:26:54.220 --> 04:26:59.220
So those extra 30 seconds, they might prove very crucial here.

04:26:59.220 --> 04:27:03.820
The first trainer to catch one steel type, one electric type,

04:27:03.820 --> 04:27:07.420
and one ground type Pokemon wins the round.

04:27:07.420 --> 04:27:10.220
And yes, to answer your question B before you ask it,

04:27:10.220 --> 04:27:12.820
these are three separate Pokemon.

04:27:12.820 --> 04:27:16.820
All right, so whenever you're ready, start now.

04:27:16.820 --> 04:27:19.720
Anyone in the crowd, do they want to remember

04:27:19.720 --> 04:27:26.260
There might be a particular wild zone that might be nice to catch certain electric steel and ground types, right?

04:27:26.960 --> 04:27:37.240
Yes, so let's see what any of our competitors remember if they if they have memorized the map of Kalos to know which zone is the best.

04:27:38.160 --> 04:27:44.360
Oh, Dragon's actually over in the Wild Zone 8 area, right? There's a lot of ground types over there, right?

04:27:44.360 --> 04:27:49.200
at your girls for style different things he was running around I thought of

04:27:49.200 --> 04:27:52.800
pretty good area oh wait

04:27:52.800 --> 04:27:57.560
brown oh my goodness that was the fastest two minutes of all time

04:27:57.560 --> 04:28:05.680
I'm sorry I remember where that wild zone was I was I was looking at these

04:28:05.680 --> 04:28:11.720
box here we can see the a Iran is this feel tight you know and right the

04:28:11.720 --> 04:28:17.720
Healy up tile is an electric type and then extra drill is a ground site.

04:28:17.720 --> 04:28:19.480
Wow. Give it up for me guys.

04:28:21.680 --> 04:28:23.960
Now what now what wild zone did you go to?

04:28:25.400 --> 04:28:26.880
I just remembered it from the map.

04:28:26.880 --> 04:28:29.640
I like 14 14.

04:28:29.640 --> 04:28:32.120
Okay. That's housing and all the construction and you know, all the different

04:28:32.120 --> 04:28:33.520
property was like the left side.

04:28:33.520 --> 04:28:35.880
Yes. Like it's over here somewhere. Yeah.

04:28:35.920 --> 04:28:39.960
Yes. And it led you that left side led you to victory in that challenge.

04:28:39.960 --> 04:28:43.540
So congratulations, we have three points updated for you.

04:28:43.540 --> 04:28:45.300
Now, how are you feeling, cause you know,

04:28:45.300 --> 04:28:47.640
it was a tough first battle, Dragon got the first couple of

04:28:47.640 --> 04:28:49.000
them, but now you've taken the lead.

04:28:49.000 --> 04:28:52.000
I think catching Pokemon might be my specialty

04:28:52.000 --> 04:28:53.200
versus battling.

04:28:53.200 --> 04:28:54.580
Oh, okay.

04:28:54.580 --> 04:28:57.340
So you know what, I'll let Dragon have that one for sure.

04:28:57.340 --> 04:29:00.840
So you're saying that if there are future challenges

04:29:00.840 --> 04:29:02.720
that include battling, you might be in trouble.

04:29:02.720 --> 04:29:04.480
I might be struggling.

04:29:04.480 --> 04:29:05.520
Interesting.

04:29:05.520 --> 04:29:07.420
I wonder if there'll be any more battles

04:29:07.420 --> 04:29:08.520
in this game than Gama.

04:29:08.520 --> 04:29:11.020
What? Why'd you say that?

04:29:11.020 --> 04:29:13.020
Well, you could be a copy of the Almanus or anything.

04:29:13.020 --> 04:29:14.820
I'm not trying to predict the future.

04:29:14.820 --> 04:29:19.420
So, AGD, currently in first place with five, dragging with four.

04:29:19.420 --> 04:29:20.520
And, Diane, I got faked.

04:29:20.520 --> 04:29:21.820
You're going to fall off and come back.

04:29:21.820 --> 04:29:24.520
You're going to make it close in the end.

04:29:24.520 --> 04:29:25.620
So, that was really fast.

04:29:25.620 --> 04:29:27.320
Catching three Pokemon like that.

04:29:27.320 --> 04:29:28.220
Very impressive.

04:29:28.220 --> 04:29:29.920
So, let's keep the good times going.

04:29:29.920 --> 04:29:30.820
What do we say, guys?

04:29:30.820 --> 04:29:32.720
Let's continue on with the game and go away.

04:29:34.720 --> 04:29:35.820
All right.

04:29:35.820 --> 04:29:41.900
Now, up next, things are going to get a little more difficult.

04:29:41.900 --> 04:29:43.260
You're going to have to use some brain power.

04:29:43.260 --> 04:29:45.540
You're not catching three Sylvils.

04:29:45.540 --> 04:29:48.300
You're not catching two Pokemon or whatever it is.

04:29:48.300 --> 04:29:51.820
You have five minutes to catch one Pokemon originally

04:29:51.820 --> 04:29:55.580
from Kanto, Hoenn, Yunova, and Kalos.

04:29:55.580 --> 04:29:57.980
Those are four different regions.

04:29:57.980 --> 04:30:01.740
They're all represented in Pokemon Legends, ZA.

04:30:01.740 --> 04:30:06.740
and they all must be from four different wild zones.

04:30:06.980 --> 04:30:08.460
So you can't just run into one

04:30:08.460 --> 04:30:10.640
and get lucky and run into them.

04:30:10.640 --> 04:30:13.180
First trainer to catch all four will get three points.

04:30:13.180 --> 04:30:15.340
Second trainer will get two and last is to get one.

04:30:15.340 --> 04:30:18.580
So this one we will continue till all three of you

04:30:18.580 --> 04:30:19.860
are able to accomplish it.

04:30:19.860 --> 04:30:21.100
So let's get started.

04:30:21.100 --> 04:30:26.100
Let's get Kanto, Hoenn, Kalos and Yunova.

04:30:26.100 --> 04:30:29.780
So that is the old originals in Kanto, right?

04:30:29.780 --> 04:30:35.660
Hoenn the the water based region you know, but we're all very proud of you know

04:30:35.660 --> 04:30:39.860
the year in America and then Carlos the reason I'm legend Z. A. So let's come on

04:30:39.860 --> 04:30:45.340
over here. Hoenn. See how it's going. Remember all four Pokemon have to be in

04:30:45.340 --> 04:30:50.580
four different wild zones. So it's not just about the regions again. I can't

04:30:50.580 --> 04:31:01.060
remember that I got you can't oh ho in you know the and call us 1 3 5 6 yes so

04:31:01.060 --> 04:31:06.980
now the question is how are you gonna be able to compartmentalize all of these

04:31:06.980 --> 04:31:11.300
different tasks be picking up a meta type representing hoeing other any hoeing

04:31:11.300 --> 04:31:16.780
fans in the crowd okay while they're getting everything set up now we have to

04:31:16.780 --> 04:31:18.740
go flat to another wild zone.

04:31:18.740 --> 04:31:20.140
Let's go through our other regions.

04:31:20.140 --> 04:31:24.180
How about some Kanto fans, the OGs?

04:31:24.180 --> 04:31:26.940
All right, what about you, Nova?

04:31:26.940 --> 04:31:27.820
Don't, don't.

04:31:27.820 --> 04:31:29.060
Why?

04:31:29.060 --> 04:31:29.980
I have a question.

04:31:29.980 --> 04:31:31.660
What if you find a shiny Pokemon?

04:31:31.660 --> 04:31:32.660
Did you just get a shiny?

04:31:32.660 --> 04:31:33.660
I can't.

04:31:33.660 --> 04:31:36.500
Oh my goodness, Vikk just got a shiny Vachop.

04:31:36.500 --> 04:31:37.100
Catch it.

04:31:37.100 --> 04:31:38.220
That's your Kalos.

04:31:38.220 --> 04:31:39.460
That's your Kalos.

04:31:39.460 --> 04:31:39.900
Is it?

04:31:39.900 --> 04:31:40.860
No, it's in my Kanto.

04:31:40.860 --> 04:31:41.620
It's my Kanto.

04:31:41.620 --> 04:31:43.140
Or your Kanto.

04:31:43.140 --> 04:31:45.860
Everyone, Vikk just got a shiny Vachop in the gaming

04:31:45.860 --> 04:31:47.860
That's crazy.

04:31:47.860 --> 04:31:48.860
You better run away first of all.

04:31:48.860 --> 04:31:49.860
You should save your game.

04:31:49.860 --> 04:31:52.860
That's more important than actually winning the game in Gauntlet.

04:31:52.860 --> 04:31:53.860
That's right.

04:31:53.860 --> 04:31:54.860
Oh my God.

04:31:54.860 --> 04:31:55.860
Oh man.

04:31:55.860 --> 04:31:59.860
The foreshadowing of the gaming ball is great to be said.

04:31:59.860 --> 04:32:01.860
What happens if someone catches a shiny?

04:32:01.860 --> 04:32:02.860
Oh wait.

04:32:02.860 --> 04:32:03.860
Oh no.

04:32:03.860 --> 04:32:04.860
No, no.

04:32:04.860 --> 04:32:05.860
No, no.

04:32:05.860 --> 04:32:06.860
No, no, no.

04:32:06.860 --> 04:32:07.860
No, no.

04:32:07.860 --> 04:32:08.860
No, no.

04:32:08.860 --> 04:32:09.860
No, no.

04:32:09.860 --> 04:32:10.860
No, no.

04:32:10.860 --> 04:32:11.860
No, no.

04:32:11.860 --> 04:32:12.860
No, no.

04:32:12.860 --> 04:32:13.860
No, no.

04:32:13.860 --> 04:32:14.860
No, no.

04:32:14.860 --> 04:32:19.580
Respectable on surprise that you know it was actually the the most hype behind it

04:32:19.580 --> 04:32:24.860
I mean, maybe that's a lot of black and white where a lot of people first games here. How are we doing dragon?

04:32:24.860 --> 04:32:31.200
Well, what's our update right now? Of course everything apart from my counter. I got everything except for Kanto. Okay, there is a

04:32:31.820 --> 04:32:33.980
Delaware Jones. I was in say

04:32:35.340 --> 04:32:37.340
Diana, how are we looking? Uh, you know, I

04:32:39.780 --> 04:32:44.460
Blow it steady wins the race. That's what they always say. That's what they say

04:32:44.860 --> 04:32:46.860
We're done! Okay!

04:32:46.860 --> 04:32:48.860
You've got it?

04:32:48.860 --> 04:32:50.860
Okay.

04:32:50.860 --> 04:32:52.860
Did you get all me in the box?

04:32:52.860 --> 04:32:54.860
I was done. I was done.

04:32:54.860 --> 04:32:56.860
I was done for like 30 seconds.

04:32:56.860 --> 04:32:58.860
You've been done for 30 seconds, you didn't say anything?

04:32:58.860 --> 04:33:00.860
I was just, you were talking to the camera!

04:33:00.860 --> 04:33:02.860
Why are you flapping on me?

04:33:02.860 --> 04:33:04.860
No, I'm not flapping!

04:33:06.860 --> 04:33:08.860
Actually, we were waiting on you!

04:33:08.860 --> 04:33:12.860
Yeah, I was done so quickly, I completely forgot.

04:33:12.860 --> 04:33:14.860
I'm sorry, y'all. I'm just busy.

04:33:14.860 --> 04:33:16.860
That's okay. All right.

04:33:16.860 --> 04:33:18.860
So, Dragon, who did you catch?

04:33:18.860 --> 04:33:22.860
We got ourselves a Leiron, representing Hoenn.

04:33:22.860 --> 04:33:24.860
We have a Vanilla for you.

04:33:24.860 --> 04:33:26.860
Nova, we've got Malamar for colors,

04:33:26.860 --> 04:33:28.860
and a Matchup for Cantor.

04:33:28.860 --> 04:33:30.860
But isn't a shiny matchup?

04:33:30.860 --> 04:33:32.860
Oh, sorry.

04:33:32.860 --> 04:33:34.860
That is in fact not.

04:33:34.860 --> 04:33:36.860
Shout out to regular guys, you know?

04:33:36.860 --> 04:33:38.860
That's right. That's true.

04:33:38.860 --> 04:33:40.860
Can we get a round of applause for the regular guys?

04:33:40.860 --> 04:33:43.020
Yeah, I like that.

04:33:43.020 --> 04:33:44.820
Okay, Dee, who did you catch?

04:33:44.820 --> 04:33:47.500
Metatite is from Hoenn.

04:33:47.500 --> 04:33:51.500
I got Audino from Unova.

04:33:51.500 --> 04:33:54.380
I got Fletchling, which is from Carlos,

04:33:54.380 --> 04:33:57.500
and this friend.

04:33:57.500 --> 04:34:02.180
No big deal, just catching a Sani live on the PXP stage.

04:34:02.180 --> 04:34:03.780
Diana, how's it going over there?

04:34:03.780 --> 04:34:06.340
You know what, like I said, I'm a little slower than most,

04:34:06.340 --> 04:34:08.980
but it's okay because we're trying.

04:34:08.980 --> 04:34:12.060
That's true, that's true.

04:34:12.060 --> 04:34:13.660
All you can do in life is try.

04:34:13.660 --> 04:34:17.340
See, just like magic harp, I'm just a late bloomer.

04:34:17.340 --> 04:34:18.980
I am about to turn into a Gyaradosa.

04:34:18.980 --> 04:34:19.900
It's going to be scary.

04:34:19.900 --> 04:34:22.140
At the end of this, maybe.

04:34:22.140 --> 04:34:26.820
OK, so I do think V did finish first, if we did.

04:34:26.820 --> 04:34:29.260
If we had video replay capabilities.

04:34:29.260 --> 04:34:31.020
And if there was a tiebreaker, if you guys

04:34:31.020 --> 04:34:32.780
cross the finish line at the same time,

04:34:32.780 --> 04:34:36.020
catching a shiny matat might be the difference maker.

04:34:36.020 --> 04:34:38.780
So I think V wins that round.

04:34:38.780 --> 04:34:47.260
Now Joe, usually for people like me who look for shiny Pokemon, we like to guess the nature

04:34:47.260 --> 04:34:48.260
of it.

04:34:48.260 --> 04:34:50.940
So do you have a nature guess on this Machop?

04:34:50.940 --> 04:34:54.460
I'm feeling a little docile.

04:34:54.460 --> 04:34:55.960
To me it looks sassy.

04:34:55.960 --> 04:34:56.960
Sassy?

04:34:56.960 --> 04:34:57.960
What about you?

04:34:57.960 --> 04:34:59.940
What nature do you think this Machop is?

04:34:59.940 --> 04:35:00.940
This Machop?

04:35:00.940 --> 04:35:01.940
Yep.

04:35:01.940 --> 04:35:02.940
I feel like it's sassy.

04:35:02.940 --> 04:35:03.940
Sassy?

04:35:03.940 --> 04:35:04.940
Okay.

04:35:04.940 --> 04:35:05.940
What's a sassy?

04:35:05.940 --> 04:35:06.940
Sassy?

04:35:06.940 --> 04:35:07.940
What do we got?

04:35:07.940 --> 04:35:10.940
Impish, oh that was my second game!

04:35:13.940 --> 04:35:19.940
There it is, there we go, Impish from Wild Zone 8, that's so sick that we got a shiny.

04:35:19.940 --> 04:35:24.940
And also, yeah, I think, is this the first shiny Pokemon caught in Pokemon XP as well?

04:35:24.940 --> 04:35:27.940
That's true, giving up the first shiny!

04:35:27.940 --> 04:35:30.940
That is pretty awesome, I think I'm gonna nickname it XP.

04:35:30.940 --> 04:35:35.940
Pretty cool, can't wait to, can't wait to name that shiny Machop Joe Brown, you know what I mean?

04:35:35.940 --> 04:35:38.940
You know what? I'll think on that.

04:35:38.940 --> 04:35:40.940
I'll think about it.

04:35:40.940 --> 04:35:42.940
Alright, so as we are tallying everything up,

04:35:42.940 --> 04:35:45.940
as we know, last round V just got that one,

04:35:45.940 --> 04:35:47.940
but the challenges are going to get harder and harder.

04:35:47.940 --> 04:35:49.940
They're going to get more difficult.

04:35:49.940 --> 04:35:51.940
Maybe some things that V's not as prepared for,

04:35:51.940 --> 04:35:54.940
like battling, are on the horizon.

04:35:54.940 --> 04:35:55.940
Don't say that.

04:35:55.940 --> 04:35:57.940
I'll say the bad part.

04:35:57.940 --> 04:35:59.940
What? That's what you do in Pokemon games.

04:35:59.940 --> 04:36:01.940
You battle other traders.

04:36:01.940 --> 04:36:03.940
Let's just score battling. Maybe I'll be better at that.

04:36:03.940 --> 04:36:05.940
I don't know what to say, yeah.

04:36:05.940 --> 04:36:09.940
Now, now Dragon, he has taken the lead.

04:36:09.940 --> 04:36:12.940
You're used to being a champion, how are you feeling right now?

04:36:12.940 --> 04:36:18.940
You know what, I'll tell you this Joe, last time I became champion, I wasn't leading the charge.

04:36:18.940 --> 04:36:21.940
I'm a very much an underdog in every way.

04:36:21.940 --> 04:36:24.940
Maybe like this time around.

04:36:24.940 --> 04:36:26.940
Basically, now I'm getting the underdog status.

04:36:26.940 --> 04:36:28.940
He's right where he wants to be, you want the underdog.

04:36:28.940 --> 04:36:30.940
I like this.

04:36:30.940 --> 04:36:39.120
Okay, so do we have our our graphics available for the updated standings of V winning that

04:36:39.120 --> 04:36:46.000
last round dragging coming in second Diana and third there we are perfect okay V building

04:36:46.000 --> 04:36:50.320
a bit of a lead remember these are three two and one points right so V and eight Dragon

04:36:50.320 --> 04:36:58.960
with six and Diana with the two there okay so now time for round three the round I

04:36:58.960 --> 04:37:04.860
I am the most excited about because it's going to get a little funky is going to get a little

04:37:04.860 --> 04:37:07.660
exciting in these challenges.

04:37:07.660 --> 04:37:11.300
We pull up our first challenge here.

04:37:11.300 --> 04:37:13.780
Remember all the points that are on the line.

04:37:13.780 --> 04:37:20.900
The first trainer to collect 10,000 points in a ZA infinite Royale wins this round.

04:37:20.900 --> 04:37:23.460
So I do think are we all in daytime?

04:37:23.460 --> 04:37:24.460
We.

04:37:24.460 --> 04:37:25.460
Yes.

04:37:25.460 --> 04:37:26.460
Because the word daytime do me a favor.

04:37:26.460 --> 04:37:28.540
Go find your favorite bench and take a seat.

04:37:28.540 --> 04:37:32.740
You're already in the night time well you might okay

04:37:33.220 --> 04:37:37.060
Well, you are yes, you might want to pause just because you're only like a quarter of a night

04:37:42.020 --> 04:37:46.080
Okay, yeah, yeah, so we'll get what I ended to two bench reset so you have the full time together

04:37:46.220 --> 04:37:49.420
You can go up to whichever as you're you're waiting for it

04:37:49.420 --> 04:37:54.180
You go up to whichever wild zone you want for those who have not played legends the a before by the way

04:37:54.180 --> 04:37:57.300
You should absolutely incredible game any z a fans in the crowd

04:37:58.540 --> 04:38:02.320
That's right. All right. Oh, thank you be appreciate it

04:38:03.820 --> 04:38:12.420
So in legend ZA at nighttime there the there are the ZA Royals were different areas of the region that taken over by

04:38:12.660 --> 04:38:18.700
Battles and if you lock eyes with an opponent you and your Pokemon are going to battle

04:38:18.700 --> 04:38:25.240
You earn a different amount of points off of different things like let's say use three electric attacks for you

04:38:25.240 --> 04:38:30.160
knock out three Pokemon before you engage in a battle with them, right?

04:38:30.160 --> 04:38:34.280
They're the different things. So this is a battle of endurance because it's 10,000

04:38:34.280 --> 04:38:39.600
points, but it's also you want to pick up the good things, the easier to

04:38:39.600 --> 04:38:43.360
accomplish things, right? Like just using five super effective attacks or

04:38:43.360 --> 04:38:47.920
something like that. Diana, have we reset on the pick? I'm ready.

04:38:47.920 --> 04:38:50.600
Pick me when you start scouting about it.

04:38:50.600 --> 04:38:55.800
We hit this one to like go are you in the nighttime already or not I can yeah, so yeah

04:38:55.800 --> 04:39:00.480
You go go to a nighttime zone sit on your favorite bench because I like to do

04:39:02.560 --> 04:39:03.960
All right, we're here now

04:39:03.960 --> 04:39:07.480
Okay, so we're getting ready for the battle zones when they come up

04:39:07.480 --> 04:39:13.800
We have that scene yeah, you'll see an area gets taken over and I think this is gonna be really interesting

04:39:14.320 --> 04:39:16.320
not only for the

04:39:16.320 --> 04:39:22.760
Not only for the missions that will come up like use five brass attacks or whatever, but for the strategies that you all have

04:39:23.680 --> 04:39:25.680
With your teams. I know

04:39:26.100 --> 04:39:30.920
Dragon has the dragon got the dragon right right and that's really good news. So are we ready?

04:39:31.440 --> 04:39:33.440
Are we ready crowd?

04:39:33.840 --> 04:39:36.760
All right, let's get it started the first to

04:39:37.760 --> 04:39:43.160
10,000 points this could take a while or it could be really fast depending on which

04:39:43.160 --> 04:39:47.060
on which tasks everybody picks up.

04:39:47.060 --> 04:39:51.300
So, Dragon's picking up one with the sneak up

04:39:51.300 --> 04:39:55.140
with a steal attack to start a battle, okay?

04:39:55.140 --> 04:39:56.140
Okay, so far I'm now.

04:39:56.140 --> 04:39:57.300
Taking the picture down,

04:39:57.300 --> 04:39:59.740
and you have to go through all of the battles here.

04:39:59.740 --> 04:40:01.020
So, if you have not played VA,

04:40:01.020 --> 04:40:02.940
it is so much fun when you get,

04:40:02.940 --> 04:40:05.780
in the daytime, you can roam about.

04:40:05.780 --> 04:40:08.180
You can go get different berries

04:40:08.180 --> 04:40:10.620
and go to different cafes and have fun.

04:40:10.620 --> 04:40:13.820
But at night time, we get serious in Kalos.

04:40:13.820 --> 04:40:18.540
And at night time, we battle it out in these battle zones.

04:40:18.540 --> 04:40:23.180
We using the Barbarical against Audino here.

04:40:23.180 --> 04:40:24.820
How are we feeling?

04:40:24.820 --> 04:40:29.220
You know, as someone who before 11VA did not enjoy

04:40:29.220 --> 04:40:32.100
Barbarical, I'm sort of very, like,

04:40:32.100 --> 04:40:34.100
I've participated so much.

04:40:34.100 --> 04:40:34.940
That's fair.

04:40:34.940 --> 04:40:36.860
It's a very good partner to have.

04:40:36.860 --> 04:40:38.180
It's grown, it's definitely grown on you.

04:40:38.180 --> 04:40:39.500
It's grown on me for sure.

04:40:39.500 --> 04:40:40.340
For sure.

04:40:40.340 --> 04:40:42.340
Are you in your cup of dawn? I see a victory.

04:40:42.340 --> 04:40:45.340
Yes, we do. Yes, we have...

04:40:45.340 --> 04:40:48.340
Are we tracking mine? I'm at max.

04:40:48.340 --> 04:40:51.340
Oh, maybe we should keep tracking.

04:40:51.340 --> 04:40:54.340
I'm chewing so far for 2,500.

04:40:54.340 --> 04:40:56.340
Okay, 2,500, okay.

04:40:56.340 --> 04:40:59.340
Well, he's 2,500 a piece, so...

04:41:00.340 --> 04:41:02.340
Let's see.

04:41:02.340 --> 04:41:05.340
Yeah, I need to probably replace this card that has brass titan.

04:41:05.340 --> 04:41:08.340
Now, Dragon of the Emades and other battles here.

04:41:08.340 --> 04:41:11.700
Ooh, it's Ari though. I think, oh, I think Dragonite's gonna come out on us.

04:41:11.700 --> 04:41:15.060
Is this something you did Dragonite when you were playing through?

04:41:15.060 --> 04:41:19.140
You're just using Dragonite as a powerhouse to beat through a lot of battles?

04:41:19.140 --> 04:41:24.100
Dragonite was just clutched for 35 hours, really quickly.

04:41:24.100 --> 04:41:25.220
It's pretty strong.

04:41:25.220 --> 04:41:26.660
Really quickly.

04:41:26.660 --> 04:41:29.380
And there are only 7500 points.

04:41:29.380 --> 04:41:32.900
Okay, Dragonite is at 7500 points.

04:41:32.900 --> 04:41:34.260
Right now, Diana you say?

04:41:34.260 --> 04:41:35.940
It looks 2500 times 3.

04:41:35.940 --> 04:41:42.540
Okay, listen, this isn't a match show, it's a Pokemon show, okay?

04:41:42.540 --> 04:41:43.740
I was a little nervous there.

04:41:43.740 --> 04:41:44.940
We gotta do math for me.

04:41:44.940 --> 04:41:48.540
There's a little something about to do it.

04:41:48.540 --> 04:41:52.940
Yes, so Dragon, you are at 7500 if you get, I don't know if you have a steel

04:41:52.940 --> 04:41:58.940
attack to sneak up into the battle, but I do, I'm just trying to find some.

04:41:58.940 --> 04:42:00.740
Why am I off-tiding from me?

04:42:00.740 --> 04:42:01.740
Really?

04:42:01.740 --> 04:42:02.740
It is.

04:42:02.740 --> 04:42:04.740
And me, how are we doing here?

04:42:04.740 --> 04:42:06.460
I have to land his resort, I believe.

04:42:06.460 --> 04:42:08.060
I have to get more cars if he comes with me.

04:42:08.060 --> 04:42:10.980
Yeah, Z is at 65, I think you're in here.

04:42:10.980 --> 04:42:12.020
Oh my gosh.

04:42:12.020 --> 04:42:13.900
Oh, he's balkiful, actually.

04:42:13.900 --> 04:42:15.580
Oh, Z's barbaric, we're fighting up.

04:42:15.580 --> 04:42:16.580
Oh no!

04:42:16.580 --> 04:42:17.420
Go there this way!

04:42:17.420 --> 04:42:19.140
All right, there we go.

04:42:19.140 --> 04:42:22.580
Taking out Barbariclaw, and then let's see it come up.

04:42:22.580 --> 04:42:26.300
Fourth link, 2500 points, and...

04:42:26.300 --> 04:42:28.340
Now hold on, I got there first.

04:42:28.340 --> 04:42:30.460
I've been on this screen.

04:42:30.460 --> 04:42:31.700
Oh wait, hold on, Diana.

04:42:31.700 --> 04:42:33.900
Also got 10,000 at the same time.

04:42:33.900 --> 04:42:36.900
I was first. I love it. It was me.

04:42:36.900 --> 04:42:38.900
It was me.

04:42:38.900 --> 04:42:39.900
Oh man.

04:42:39.900 --> 04:42:42.900
Okay. I'm talking. I have production in my ear right now.

04:42:42.900 --> 04:42:46.900
They're going. They're going to video replay and they have determined.

04:42:46.900 --> 04:42:49.900
They literally told me as I was saying, oh, dragon had it right before dragon had.

04:42:49.900 --> 04:42:51.900
They said, Diana got it. Diana got it.

04:42:51.900 --> 04:42:53.900
So Diana picks up the next one.

04:42:53.900 --> 04:42:57.900
There's no 50 battling. That's what I can do.

04:42:57.900 --> 04:43:00.900
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. They're saying they got it at the same time now.

04:43:00.900 --> 04:43:24.700
I'm sorry I was getting attacked by an entire trainer while we were deciding our fates over

04:43:24.700 --> 04:43:25.700
here.

04:43:25.700 --> 04:43:30.200
You know what, I'm just happy that I finally did it.

04:43:30.200 --> 04:43:31.980
We'll take a dub at this point, right?

04:43:31.980 --> 04:43:33.740
You're going to tie for a dub, right?

04:43:33.740 --> 04:43:36.920
So, you know, we've had a lot of really fun action here.

04:43:36.920 --> 04:43:40.520
We had a shiny, we had a tie in a battle, right?

04:43:40.520 --> 04:43:42.480
Like, there's a lot of crazy things going on.

04:43:42.480 --> 04:43:45.680
Further proof, further proof that battling is not my forte

04:43:45.680 --> 04:43:47.400
in this, but you know what?

04:43:47.400 --> 04:43:49.440
That's OK.

04:43:49.440 --> 04:43:52.160
All right, our scoreboards are ready to see where we

04:43:52.160 --> 04:43:54.880
are tracking along in the gaming gauntlet.

04:43:54.880 --> 04:43:59.840
So with that tie in first place, Diana and Dragon both picking up the points.

04:43:59.840 --> 04:44:07.480
Gear V did not pick up any points, but you're still in the lead from the last couple of rounds going your way.

04:44:07.480 --> 04:44:11.980
I'm just nervous watching. How are you guys going to watch in the game in Gauntlet?

04:44:11.980 --> 04:44:15.180
It's a little bit fiery in here.

04:44:15.180 --> 04:44:16.780
We've got more battle.

04:44:16.780 --> 04:44:18.280
Well, pass over here.

04:44:18.280 --> 04:44:19.280
Well, I don't know about that.

04:44:19.280 --> 04:44:24.780
Now, this one should be fun because we all love alpha Pokemon, right?

04:44:24.780 --> 04:44:39.780
So the next challenge in the game in gauntlet will be for the first trainer to catch four Alpha Pokemon in four different wild zones.

04:44:39.780 --> 04:44:44.780
So you can't be silly and just run to wild zone 20 and just keep picking them up, right?

04:44:44.780 --> 04:44:45.780
Yeah.

04:44:45.780 --> 04:44:50.780
You've got to go to four different areas for this battle.

04:44:50.780 --> 04:44:51.780
Are we ready?

04:44:51.780 --> 04:44:52.780
Yeah.

04:44:52.780 --> 04:44:53.780
All right, let's get running.

04:44:53.780 --> 04:44:57.140
Alright, let's make some noise as they get ready for this battle guys

04:45:00.460 --> 04:45:08.580
So four different wild zone Diana starting in wild zone three being wild zone 12 or it's very very chilly and then dragon is in

04:45:08.580 --> 04:45:11.600
Wild Zone 20 and didn't get the semi-seer

04:45:12.180 --> 04:45:14.180
No one popped up here to fight it

04:45:15.660 --> 04:45:20.740
And then we don't have their day ruined by this alpha obama snow just me like it's been

04:45:20.740 --> 04:45:23.820
It is so hard to catch sometimes.

04:45:23.820 --> 04:45:25.180
Oh, oh no.

04:45:25.180 --> 04:45:26.380
Oh no it popped out to me.

04:45:26.380 --> 04:45:27.220
I made something.

04:45:27.220 --> 04:45:28.700
And Diane, you already caught one right?

04:45:28.700 --> 04:45:29.700
I thought it was all right.

04:45:29.700 --> 04:45:32.060
Diane is moving on to her second alpha.

04:45:32.060 --> 04:45:33.180
Okay, you know what?

04:45:33.180 --> 04:45:35.620
Dragon doctor, Simi's here, sir, at one.

04:45:35.620 --> 04:45:37.980
I usually don't prefer to this, but here we go.

04:45:37.980 --> 04:45:41.020
Abomaso's got all his friends here to help.

04:45:41.020 --> 04:45:43.100
Zogo's helping, Nova's helping.

04:45:43.100 --> 04:45:45.580
Okay, these on the board.

04:45:45.580 --> 04:45:46.580
Got one?

04:45:46.580 --> 04:45:47.420
Oh yeah.

04:45:47.420 --> 04:45:48.260
Let's go.

04:45:48.260 --> 04:45:49.100
Now Diane is in wild zone two.

04:45:49.100 --> 04:45:57.480
cross over I'm too far are you going for the alpha magic are you are you oh yeah

04:45:57.480 --> 04:46:05.900
are you only comes out at night I think okay learning the fun facts here I can't

04:46:05.900 --> 04:46:10.860
get over that I was gonna say I know I'm a lot of reviews plan you know I was

04:46:10.860 --> 04:46:14.860
giving up we're going to a new wild boar all now dragging the zone with all the

04:46:14.860 --> 04:46:25.860
normal type. And it goes for the Alpha Clefairy. Prepare for me to be tough to catch. Is he going to get there? Yeah! Oh no, that's for her never mind. I got excited for a second team. Got excited.

04:46:25.860 --> 04:46:36.860
I got a second one. Okay. The Alpha Salamence and the Clefairy is caught. So two apiece right here. Diana looking to catch another Alpha.

04:46:36.860 --> 04:46:41.860
I might as well do. I'm entering Wild Zone 20. I'll just go.

04:46:41.860 --> 04:46:47.620
I'm just gonna listen you can catch one in Wild Dump 20 you just can't catch both right right right right right so

04:46:49.460 --> 04:46:51.460
We got a gore geist

04:46:51.460 --> 04:46:58.340
In dragon's way that would be alpha number three, but be very pesky with all the other goat types in the in the wild

04:46:59.620 --> 04:47:01.620
Oh

04:47:02.340 --> 04:47:04.340
I thought dragon that was gonna clear it

04:47:04.900 --> 04:47:06.900
I just run it at us. Oh

04:47:08.020 --> 04:47:10.020
Right I take them over the team right there

04:47:10.020 --> 04:47:15.020
All the different kinds of comforts, three outfits, 10.

04:47:15.020 --> 04:47:19.020
Yeah, yeah, just get any of them, Dragonite!

04:47:19.020 --> 04:47:22.020
Papito, please!

04:47:22.020 --> 04:47:25.020
Papito, run away!

04:47:25.020 --> 04:47:28.020
Oh, Diana!

04:47:28.020 --> 04:47:31.020
Have they got my straw?

04:47:31.020 --> 04:47:33.020
They don't want to be my friends.

04:47:33.020 --> 04:47:38.020
Oh, we're breaking up some mega-clothed fable for this claw chicken!

04:47:38.020 --> 04:47:40.020
It's uh, it's a little bit strong.

04:47:40.020 --> 04:47:42.020
Oh no, oh no.

04:47:42.020 --> 04:47:44.020
Oh my goodness, Slaughter's just hanging out.

04:47:44.020 --> 04:47:45.020
I'm like, what is this?

04:47:45.020 --> 04:47:46.020
Okay.

04:47:46.020 --> 04:47:48.020
Okay, now we can throw.

04:47:48.020 --> 04:47:49.020
Slaughter's just getting caught.

04:47:49.020 --> 04:47:50.020
It does.

04:47:50.020 --> 04:47:52.020
That's number three for me.

04:47:52.020 --> 04:47:54.020
That was number.

04:47:54.020 --> 04:47:55.020
Hold on.

04:47:55.020 --> 04:47:56.020
Alright, let me get out of here.

04:47:56.020 --> 04:47:57.020
Wasn't that three?

04:47:57.020 --> 04:47:58.020
Am I crazy?

04:47:58.020 --> 04:47:59.020
Do I have a check?

04:47:59.020 --> 04:48:00.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:00.020 --> 04:48:01.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:01.020 --> 04:48:02.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:02.020 --> 04:48:03.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:03.020 --> 04:48:04.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:04.020 --> 04:48:05.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:05.020 --> 04:48:06.020
Do I have a check?

04:48:06.020 --> 04:48:11.780
I missed the club key so V got that so you guys keep going we'll see who gets who's next to get four alphas

04:48:12.380 --> 04:48:13.460
Yep

04:48:13.460 --> 04:48:16.820
And then you just got the alpha pad trap what an alpha at that

04:48:18.020 --> 04:48:20.020
All right, so

04:48:21.140 --> 04:48:23.140
V you're kind of crushing it right now

04:48:24.580 --> 04:48:30.180
Were you were you sitting at all I sit in your hotel room just practicing anything very

04:48:36.020 --> 04:48:39.020
I love Calo's, I love Lumeo's, yes.

04:48:39.020 --> 04:48:43.020
I have like a concerning amount of hours in this game.

04:48:43.020 --> 04:48:48.020
Well, let's see. I don't know if anyone can beat this.

04:48:48.020 --> 04:48:50.020
188 hours?

04:48:50.020 --> 04:48:52.020
188 hours, wow.

04:48:52.020 --> 04:48:54.020
Okay, where are we at?

04:48:54.020 --> 04:48:58.020
I'm sure there's others that have more than me, but that's still a long time.

04:48:58.020 --> 04:49:03.020
That's a lot of hours, that's a lot of shiny items, that's a lot of fun times in Lumeo City, right?

04:49:03.020 --> 04:49:06.640
So V gets the victory in that last crowd.

04:49:06.640 --> 04:49:08.840
Let's take a look at the standing.

04:49:08.840 --> 04:49:11.000
So V, nine points.

04:49:11.000 --> 04:49:12.360
We're starting to separate yourself

04:49:12.360 --> 04:49:15.480
as we get into the last few things

04:49:15.480 --> 04:49:17.280
as a part of the gaming game.

04:49:17.280 --> 04:49:20.680
How confident are you going into the tail end here?

04:49:20.680 --> 04:49:23.320
As long as it's not battles.

04:49:23.320 --> 04:49:26.280
I feel like I'm getting the one getting cheated here.

04:49:26.280 --> 04:49:27.760
Battles are my thing.

04:49:27.760 --> 04:49:29.960
I was going to say, you're an expert at battling.

04:49:29.960 --> 04:49:32.120
So anytime battles close up, I get nervous.

04:49:32.120 --> 04:49:37.480
should be nervous. Yeah, you know what? Yeah. You're right where you want to be, right? You're

04:49:37.480 --> 04:49:45.880
ready to. I mean, at this point, I don't know anymore. All right, hey, it's still anybody's game,

04:49:45.880 --> 04:49:55.320
okay? Especially when it comes to hyperspace. Oh man. Who's ready for some hyperspace gaming

04:49:55.320 --> 04:50:04.360
gondola action. That's fair. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. All right. So let's crank it up. Let's first of all let's get

04:50:04.360 --> 04:50:13.560
nice little refreshing snack. Let's have a donut. So we're going to need you all to go back to the hotel and whoever makes the most

04:50:13.560 --> 04:50:20.480
sour donut wins this round real quick. So go head to the hotel because there are different obviously different berries have

04:50:20.480 --> 04:50:25.400
different amounts of sour in them, right? So if you don't have just the same of eight

04:50:25.400 --> 04:50:30.760
hyper berries to get to the highest level, let me come over see who's who likes who

04:50:30.760 --> 04:50:37.440
likes making donuts. I, you know what? I have never been more in like burst in the

04:50:37.440 --> 04:50:42.320
donut making process before this game. I'd like I will be honest. Okay, that's fair.

04:50:42.320 --> 04:50:48.280
I've been in Diane. I saw just crushed together and that was 760 sour. Oh my God.

04:50:48.280 --> 04:50:55.520
I spend a lot of time in hyperspace hyperspace. That's where you that's where you're ready to battle. That's that's why they're so

04:50:56.560 --> 04:50:59.060
760 sour that doesn't like a delicious donut

04:51:03.200 --> 04:51:05.200
Okay

04:51:08.720 --> 04:51:11.600
Sours yellow right? Yes. That was yellow

04:51:11.600 --> 04:51:16.080
I usually associate it with the color it is okay.

04:51:16.080 --> 04:51:19.760
I think listen, I say you lock it in 740 that's good.

04:51:19.760 --> 04:51:23.960
It's not 760 last time I checked but it's pretty good.

04:51:23.960 --> 04:51:28.960
And then drag it, we're gonna need these donuts.

04:51:28.960 --> 04:51:31.960
So even if you're coming for a second and a third,

04:51:31.960 --> 04:51:35.200
you're gonna need to make the donut.

04:51:35.200 --> 04:51:36.840
So put them in here.

04:51:36.840 --> 04:51:37.680
760.

04:51:37.680 --> 04:51:38.520
760.

04:51:38.520 --> 04:51:41.320
I have a whole lot of Custis berries.

04:51:41.320 --> 04:51:43.400
That's fair, that's fair.

04:51:43.400 --> 04:51:46.720
Level 108, level 111.

04:51:46.720 --> 04:51:49.440
I think those were the berries with my highest.

04:51:49.440 --> 04:51:53.640
Dragonberry, oh, there, the hybrid tomato looks pretty good.

04:51:53.640 --> 04:51:55.800
Oh, no, no, I was reading the long card.

04:51:55.800 --> 04:51:58.300
Hyper, what's wrong?

04:51:58.300 --> 04:52:01.240
I've learned all the names of the different berries.

04:52:01.240 --> 04:52:02.240
That's true.

04:52:02.240 --> 04:52:05.400
I don't know how you guys thought you were so sour.

04:52:05.400 --> 04:52:07.000
They're the most sour donuts.

04:52:07.000 --> 04:52:08.920
I'm struggling to get the number.

04:52:08.920 --> 04:52:10.440
You know, look at the yellow section.

04:52:10.440 --> 04:52:13.440
I'm looking at the yellows and I'm not seeing a lot of them.

04:52:13.440 --> 04:52:17.440
I think for now, I would just use those kebbi as stuff.

04:52:17.440 --> 04:52:19.440
That's it, just a round of that.

04:52:19.440 --> 04:52:21.440
That's the kebbi I'll put.

04:52:21.440 --> 04:52:25.440
If you're a real refined baker, you've made a lot of donuts in the GCA.

04:52:25.440 --> 04:52:28.440
We know all the secret sauce.

04:52:28.440 --> 04:52:31.440
All right, so make that donut.

04:52:31.440 --> 04:52:32.440
We'll have those.

04:52:32.440 --> 04:52:35.440
So Diana had the most sour donut.

04:52:35.440 --> 04:52:37.440
So that's a victory.

04:52:37.440 --> 04:52:38.440
How are you feeling?

04:52:38.440 --> 04:52:41.440
You know what? I'll take it. A win is a win.

04:52:41.440 --> 04:52:43.440
And you didn't even have to battle for that.

04:52:43.440 --> 04:52:46.440
I didn't even have to battle. Maybe I'm just a very hoarder.

04:52:46.440 --> 04:52:50.440
Maybe we will have to use those donuts for something else here.

04:52:50.440 --> 04:52:57.440
But for now, so we're all ready for our first hyperspace, Lumios action, correct?

04:52:57.440 --> 04:52:58.440
Okay.

04:52:58.440 --> 04:53:05.440
I want to make sure we have a fair fight, so in case someone has to reset to find the actual power level of the same power.

04:53:05.440 --> 04:53:15.040
our first battle in hyperspace will be the person who defeats the most trainers in hyperspace.

04:53:15.040 --> 04:53:18.160
So let's just, like, we're not going to use the donuts we just made. We'll need that for another

04:53:18.160 --> 04:53:22.800
thing. Let's just try to find a three-star battle. Like, let's see if we all have that available

04:53:22.800 --> 04:53:25.360
to you currently in your...

04:53:25.360 --> 04:53:30.000
Gonna heal my Pokémon really fast because that Alpha Salon is...

04:53:30.000 --> 04:53:32.800
So Diana found a three-star hyperspace battle.

04:53:32.800 --> 04:53:33.600
Oh, is this the closest?

04:53:33.600 --> 04:53:34.960
Oh, and you can heal too, if you want.

04:53:34.960 --> 04:53:37.960
Oh, yeah, I should heal, I should do that.

04:53:37.960 --> 04:53:41.460
And then I would recommend getting up next to the hyperspacing,

04:53:41.460 --> 04:53:43.960
because I know sometimes it can actually take, it's a bit of a hurdle.

04:53:43.960 --> 04:53:47.960
Right, so once you find a three star hyperspace battle,

04:53:47.960 --> 04:53:51.960
start heading forward, start heading there.

04:53:51.960 --> 04:53:56.960
Question, has anyone actually ever found a shiny Pokémon in a hyperspace zone?

04:53:56.960 --> 04:53:57.960
Yes.

04:53:57.960 --> 04:54:00.960
Okay, what did you get?

04:54:00.960 --> 04:54:02.960
a

04:54:02.960 --> 04:54:05.200
Goalwork, okay, please say it for me you

04:54:08.080 --> 04:54:11.080
That's way cooler than goal work. I'm sorry

04:54:13.400 --> 04:54:18.200
Goalwork's cool. It's got a mega evolution. I got go look is also this shiny go work

04:54:18.200 --> 04:54:21.560
Especially shiny mega go work, right? That's super sick

04:54:22.160 --> 04:54:28.560
With all the different colors like the pink splashed in I love shiny mega goaler for sure. So charm and there is charm

04:54:28.560 --> 04:54:34.280
All right, have we found our I don't know how to get to that one. Oh goodness. Yes, try to find a

04:54:36.120 --> 04:54:39.720
Oh, no, that you have to look for the night time my reset. It's the red one

04:54:41.360 --> 04:54:46.260
Hit the minus button and then I'll clear a lot. There you go on the clutter

04:54:47.760 --> 04:54:50.520
So yeah, if you fly to the cafe or something, right? Yeah

04:54:50.520 --> 04:54:55.520
Okay, Dragon's gonna get us there.

04:54:55.520 --> 04:54:58.520
We're gonna have a three star battle.

04:54:58.520 --> 04:55:00.520
You have not played Legends EA before.

04:55:00.520 --> 04:55:01.520
There are different battles.

04:55:01.520 --> 04:55:04.520
The level cap goes over 100.

04:55:04.520 --> 04:55:06.520
You're used to, you know, 30 years of book mugging,

04:55:06.520 --> 04:55:08.520
stopping and capping at 100.

04:55:08.520 --> 04:55:10.520
I might have to go to a new zone.

04:55:10.520 --> 04:55:11.520
My day break came.

04:55:11.520 --> 04:55:13.520
You ran out of time.

04:55:13.520 --> 04:55:15.520
I ran out of nighttime.

04:55:15.520 --> 04:55:17.520
That is disastrous.

04:55:17.520 --> 04:55:18.520
I know.

04:55:18.520 --> 04:55:19.520
Okay, well.

04:55:19.520 --> 04:55:21.520
Oh, you got some prize money for that.

04:55:21.520 --> 04:55:22.320
Hey, nice.

04:55:22.320 --> 04:55:26.840
You got some nice prize money for all those battles.

04:55:26.840 --> 04:55:29.600
OK, so as Diana finds a new battle,

04:55:29.600 --> 04:55:32.120
I'll continue explaining how hyperspace works.

04:55:32.120 --> 04:55:34.240
You have the help of your handy dandy Hoopa,

04:55:34.240 --> 04:55:36.360
who lets you go into hyperspace battles.

04:55:36.360 --> 04:55:40.520
And you can push past the level cap.

04:55:40.520 --> 04:55:43.800
You can push past the level cap of level 100.

04:55:43.800 --> 04:55:46.200
As you see, this is a level 140

04:55:46.200 --> 04:55:52.200
battle at three stars in hyper space this will be a five minute battle so

04:55:52.200 --> 04:55:56.760
production will tell us when you guys go in you might actually be done before

04:55:56.760 --> 04:56:01.280
five minutes is it the three star right we'll see yeah how that goes there

04:56:01.280 --> 04:56:06.240
Diana how are we looking I am running towards my new three stars now in the

04:56:06.240 --> 04:56:09.280
part of me. Okay.

04:56:09.280 --> 04:56:14.280
And we have to save those donuts that we made earlier.

04:56:14.280 --> 04:56:17.280
Save the donuts that we made earlier.

04:56:17.280 --> 04:56:19.280
You have a lot of donuts though.

04:56:19.280 --> 04:56:22.280
Oh, so we're not using the donut we just made?

04:56:22.280 --> 04:56:23.280
No.

04:56:23.280 --> 04:56:26.280
That was probably a five star donut you made, right?

04:56:26.280 --> 04:56:27.280
Yeah.

04:56:27.280 --> 04:56:29.280
So you can use a four or whatever you're feeling.

04:56:29.280 --> 04:56:32.280
So fun fact, all of my donuts are shiny donuts.

04:56:32.280 --> 04:56:34.280
Whoa!

04:56:34.280 --> 04:56:36.280
Maybe you're going to match me.

04:56:36.280 --> 04:56:38.280
Oh, wait a minute.

04:56:38.280 --> 04:56:41.280
Whoa, all right, all right, we're all ready to go in.

04:56:41.280 --> 04:56:41.780
I'm ready.

04:56:41.780 --> 04:56:42.680
I'm ready.

04:56:42.680 --> 04:56:45.280
All right, three, two, one, let's head on.

04:56:45.280 --> 04:56:48.980
Come on guys, round of applause for our hyperspace battles.

04:56:48.980 --> 04:56:53.280
Our trainers have five minutes right here, right now.

04:56:53.280 --> 04:56:57.780
Whoever wins trainers defeats the most trainers in hyperspace

04:56:57.780 --> 04:57:00.080
will win this round.

04:57:00.080 --> 04:57:01.880
Ooh, already off to a battle.

04:57:01.880 --> 04:57:04.480
I didn't even, I know I'm not even in the area.

04:57:04.480 --> 04:57:07.080
Oh, so, oh, so, there's a thing.

04:57:07.080 --> 04:57:08.080
There, now you're in.

04:57:08.080 --> 04:57:16.600
Now the question is always, when you're running around hyperspace, is it better to just go

04:57:16.600 --> 04:57:23.200
right in and go for battles or should you sneak around and try to have the sneak attacks

04:57:23.200 --> 04:57:27.400
of the enemies to try to catch their Pokemon off guard?

04:57:27.400 --> 04:57:29.400
About one down.

04:57:29.400 --> 04:57:33.240
And make sure everyone keeps track for themselves, there's about three screens here so it's

04:57:33.240 --> 04:57:34.240
going to be hard.

04:57:34.240 --> 04:57:36.880
Do you remember how many battles there are?

04:57:36.880 --> 04:57:38.080
Right here it'll say.

04:57:38.080 --> 04:57:40.640
Oh and Tru will say good point. That's good point. See?

04:57:40.640 --> 04:57:42.640
That's what I think he'd be the big boxer.

04:57:42.640 --> 04:57:43.680
Wait a minute.

04:57:43.680 --> 04:57:44.720
Very smart.

04:57:44.720 --> 04:57:45.680
Who's the boss here?

04:57:49.680 --> 04:57:50.480
All right.

04:57:50.480 --> 04:57:53.200
Right. Switching over to the X to drill.

04:57:53.200 --> 04:57:55.440
Match up the pendant. I like it. There's some fire types.

04:57:55.440 --> 04:57:57.600
There was a new QLT in testing.

04:57:57.600 --> 04:57:58.240
Come on.

04:57:58.240 --> 04:58:00.080
All right. Let's walk through and I'll dump them in.

04:58:00.080 --> 04:58:01.920
All right. That's one down. Let's go.

04:58:01.920 --> 04:58:07.780
Remember, this is only five minutes, so you're not going to be able to get through the entirety

04:58:07.780 --> 04:58:09.280
of this hyperspace battle.

04:58:09.280 --> 04:58:14.180
It's just whoever you spin battle out of, ooh, she's got about a fire type going on

04:58:14.180 --> 04:58:15.180
here today.

04:58:15.180 --> 04:58:16.180
Okay.

04:58:16.180 --> 04:58:18.700
I'm going to let it whip those down.

04:58:18.700 --> 04:58:24.180
The worst part, I feel like what I'm playing is when you have like a big animation and

04:58:24.180 --> 04:58:27.180
then they have to status you in the middle of your animation.

04:58:27.180 --> 04:58:28.180
Oh, hey.

04:58:28.180 --> 04:58:30.180
I've gotten plenty of time.

04:58:30.180 --> 04:58:31.180
Exactly.

04:58:31.180 --> 04:58:32.860
And then I'll be like, what's happening?

04:58:32.860 --> 04:58:35.260
Diana with the gel fox getting ready now,

04:58:35.260 --> 04:58:37.980
but currently paralyzed, all on you now.

04:58:37.980 --> 04:58:40.860
Electros is out here doing the dirty.

04:58:42.300 --> 04:58:44.300
Now there is no rule that you can't kill yourself

04:58:44.300 --> 04:58:45.620
to clean that up, you know?

04:58:45.620 --> 04:58:47.540
If you want to wait, if you want to take the time,

04:58:47.540 --> 04:58:50.140
five seconds to paralyze you,

04:58:50.140 --> 04:58:52.660
that might help you attack faster in the future.

04:58:52.660 --> 04:58:53.500
That is, do you remember?

04:58:53.500 --> 04:58:57.300
You gotta think about how one battle impacts the next one.

04:58:57.300 --> 04:58:59.500
Maybe you need posters, maybe you need a paralyzer,

04:58:59.500 --> 04:59:00.940
a full heal.

04:59:00.940 --> 04:59:08.780
Maybe you want to use that mega evolution, you know, energy to attack harder and attack faster,

04:59:08.780 --> 04:59:11.660
or maybe just using the flush moves as well.

04:59:11.660 --> 04:59:18.300
Very interesting because my first one here has access to ice tank and thunder tank throughout my entire playthrough.

04:59:18.300 --> 04:59:23.500
It, he seems to be set, we usually get freebies, which is very funny.

04:59:23.500 --> 04:59:26.220
It's very lucky. So I froze with limit earlier.

04:59:26.220 --> 04:59:28.780
I don't know if anyone thought that, but that was crazy.

04:59:28.780 --> 04:59:30.540
That's very, it was very helpful.

04:59:30.540 --> 04:59:31.740
Yup, yup.

04:59:31.740 --> 04:59:35.580
So these actually taking down five trainers already, guys.

04:59:35.580 --> 04:59:37.500
That's really good, Dragon X3.

04:59:37.500 --> 04:59:39.340
I don't even see any trainers.

04:59:39.340 --> 04:59:40.620
I know, my alps are high.

04:59:40.620 --> 04:59:42.300
That's how hyperspace works.

04:59:42.300 --> 04:59:45.540
Sometimes it's not a busy day on the roads

04:59:45.540 --> 04:59:48.380
in the Romeo city.

04:59:48.380 --> 04:59:49.740
There's a Sableye.

04:59:49.740 --> 04:59:52.700
If they like to be really pesky in battles,

04:59:52.700 --> 04:59:55.460
because you know, it's got a little bit of a fuse there.

04:59:55.460 --> 04:59:56.700
I'm gonna confuse me.

04:59:56.700 --> 04:59:59.620
Uh-oh, Dragon X confused.

04:59:59.620 --> 05:00:12.620
And as you can see, so we talked about how you go over the level cap in Pokemon led 2GA, Dragonite is level 168 right now.

05:00:12.620 --> 05:00:18.620
So, did you imagine that when you were 7 years old playing Pokemon and facing a level 168?

05:00:18.620 --> 05:00:24.620
When I saw that trailer when they announced that in years, I genuinely did not think that was real.

05:00:24.620 --> 05:00:28.620
Alright, production, how much time do we have remaining in this battle?

05:00:28.620 --> 05:00:36.860
90 seconds guys 90 seconds

05:00:36.860 --> 05:00:42.860
sometimes sometimes it's in the

05:00:42.860 --> 05:00:44.060
What should be opponent, right?

05:00:44.060 --> 05:00:46.180
If you got a quick Pokemon,

05:00:46.180 --> 05:00:49.220
if we Pokemon that are easy for 1 hit KO.

05:00:50.620 --> 05:00:54.020
Oh, come on, man.

05:00:54.020 --> 05:00:56.660
Oh, man, Mega Dragonite is so cool.

05:00:56.660 --> 05:00:57.660
Oh, I got caught.

05:00:58.900 --> 05:01:01.900
Mega Dragonite in the finals in the Masters Division

05:01:01.900 --> 05:01:03.900
for the Video Game World Championship this evening.

05:01:03.900 --> 05:01:05.220
So excited.

05:01:05.220 --> 05:01:07.300
So excited. We love Mega Dragonite.

05:01:07.300 --> 05:01:10.100
I wonder who's going to take it all in the end.

05:01:10.100 --> 05:01:12.400
Yeah, I know, I'm very excited to see how

05:01:12.400 --> 05:01:14.200
powerful a bunch of them are.

05:01:14.200 --> 05:01:18.400
Out here, these are the seven trainers already.

05:01:18.400 --> 05:01:21.440
Looking to take down this Ivysaur trainer.

05:01:21.440 --> 05:01:23.680
How much time are we at remaining?

05:01:23.680 --> 05:01:25.720
It's getting really close.

05:01:25.720 --> 05:01:28.280
Man, but all of my Pokemon are poison.

05:01:28.280 --> 05:01:29.120
Ah!

05:01:29.120 --> 05:01:30.120
Oh, no, I'm caught.

05:01:30.120 --> 05:01:31.380
Oh, I'm caught again.

05:01:31.380 --> 05:01:33.680
30 seconds, 30 seconds.

05:01:33.680 --> 05:01:35.680
If Diana can try to catch up,

05:01:35.680 --> 05:01:38.520
me has taken up eight trainers.

05:01:38.520 --> 05:01:43.520
Diana is at six, and Dragon is at six as well.

05:01:44.840 --> 05:01:46.960
Sometimes it is just a luck of the draw

05:01:46.960 --> 05:01:50.280
of which hyperspace area you entered.

05:01:50.280 --> 05:01:52.440
I'm feeling a little confident

05:01:52.440 --> 05:01:54.800
that V is gonna come out on top.

05:01:54.800 --> 05:01:59.800
10, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

05:02:03.680 --> 05:02:06.360
Oh no, V's not gonna get there in time.

05:02:06.360 --> 05:02:12.200
and seven. If we had any more

05:02:12.200 --> 05:02:13.800
time, maybe would have caught up,

05:02:13.800 --> 05:02:16.100
but agent V with the victory

05:02:16.100 --> 05:02:18.080
around everybody. I want a

05:02:18.080 --> 05:02:20.120
battling thing. My ops were

05:02:20.120 --> 05:02:23.120
hiding. Oh, yeah. The trainer.

05:02:23.120 --> 05:02:24.880
Oh, the trainer. I did. I did

05:02:24.880 --> 05:02:26.240
like to write that dragon

05:02:26.240 --> 05:02:27.720
accountable exercises. You got

05:02:27.720 --> 05:02:28.880
to try to just like

05:02:28.880 --> 05:02:33.800
You were running through the malls, you were like, oh.

05:02:33.800 --> 05:02:38.640
Oh man, V, with double digit points in the gaming bot lane.

05:02:38.640 --> 05:02:39.440
This is happening.

05:02:39.440 --> 05:02:43.440
And you were nervous at the beginning.

05:02:43.440 --> 05:02:45.800
Was it a facade, guys?

05:02:45.800 --> 05:02:47.040
Was V playing us?

05:02:47.040 --> 05:02:48.120
I think so.

05:02:48.120 --> 05:02:49.920
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

05:02:49.920 --> 05:02:52.480
I'm just nervous because my two competitors

05:02:52.480 --> 05:02:54.520
are actually really good at their respective fields.

05:02:54.520 --> 05:02:56.960
So I was just like, oh man, battling and that kind

05:02:56.960 --> 05:02:58.840
of stuff, I got nervous.

05:02:58.840 --> 05:03:04.840
Now, I do just want to check with production if we still have one battle remaining, is that?

05:03:04.840 --> 05:03:11.840
Okay, so we are ready for our final battle in the gaming gauntlet. Are you ready, crowd?

05:03:11.840 --> 05:03:18.840
Okay, we might have to do our favorite pastime of sitting on a bench, but let's see.

05:03:18.840 --> 05:03:24.840
Because we all made donuts, remember? Let's put those donuts to the test, friends.

05:03:24.840 --> 05:03:33.840
The final challenge will be whoever defeats a rogue mega evolved Pokemon in hyperspace.

05:03:33.840 --> 05:03:34.840
Oh man.

05:03:34.840 --> 05:03:40.340
So I know sometimes you gotta find them right, you gotta cycle through, cause it's usually

05:03:40.340 --> 05:03:42.840
a five star battle it should be.

05:03:42.840 --> 05:03:45.840
There's your, oh yours is mega bonette Diana.

05:03:45.840 --> 05:03:48.340
So now you have time, is there fun in there?

05:03:48.340 --> 05:03:53.640
You can game plan, you can strategize, figure out your ideas on how you want to take

05:03:53.640 --> 05:04:00.020
down that ghost type. And now V, Jen ready, sitting on a bench.

05:04:00.020 --> 05:04:02.180
I got my consolation prize money, so that's...

05:04:02.180 --> 05:04:05.020
You got some prize money, congratulations. Hey, don't spend it all in one place.

05:04:05.020 --> 05:04:09.120
That's right. That's right. Probably for all the Pokeball I used to get a, you know,

05:04:09.120 --> 05:04:10.620
I got to stock back up.

05:04:10.620 --> 05:04:14.320
All right, so let's see. Do you have... Oh, there you are. On the right side there.

05:04:14.320 --> 05:04:15.460
What is that?

05:04:15.460 --> 05:04:17.160
What is that?

05:04:17.160 --> 05:04:19.000
I have no idea what that is.

05:04:19.000 --> 05:04:20.100
Well, good luck, V.

05:04:20.100 --> 05:04:21.260
All right, thanks.

05:04:21.260 --> 05:04:28.700
I don't know what that is is it is it like victory now it might be no

05:04:29.820 --> 05:04:32.700
Uh, do you what do you know who these days? I

05:04:33.580 --> 05:04:37.740
Can you guys suggestions? I don't know if we can full screen the

05:04:38.860 --> 05:04:40.780
Maybe I can go to it. I don't know

05:04:41.900 --> 05:04:43.900
I don't know who mine is

05:04:45.620 --> 05:04:47.620
Felix

05:04:47.620 --> 05:04:52.620
It's not heat, man.

05:04:52.620 --> 05:04:54.620
Oh, yeah, all right.

05:04:54.620 --> 05:04:55.620
We zoomed in for you.

05:04:55.620 --> 05:04:56.620
Oh, no.

05:04:56.620 --> 05:05:00.620
Here, go back to the V. Go back.

05:05:00.620 --> 05:05:02.620
Scroll up to the V.

05:05:02.620 --> 05:05:03.620
Oh, no.

05:05:03.620 --> 05:05:04.620
Sorry, sorry.

05:05:04.620 --> 05:05:05.620
There you go.

05:05:05.620 --> 05:05:06.620
Yeah.

05:05:06.620 --> 05:05:08.620
Could it be Altaria?

05:05:08.620 --> 05:05:09.620
Hey, listen, it should be fun.

05:05:09.620 --> 05:05:10.620
That's crazy, though.

05:05:10.620 --> 05:05:12.620
It's going to be interesting to find out.

05:05:12.620 --> 05:05:14.620
I don't know what mine is.

05:05:14.620 --> 05:05:16.620
Oh, camera ops.

05:05:16.620 --> 05:05:18.620
Camera

05:05:19.620 --> 05:05:21.620
What's mine? What's mine?

05:05:22.100 --> 05:05:27.380
That's all you show that looks like all each other. Okay. Thank you crowd. I appreciate the help

05:05:27.500 --> 05:05:31.660
So are we ready? Well, if you guys didn't hit pause here, dude, you don't run out of your daytime

05:05:41.100 --> 05:05:43.800
Well, it was how good so let's see what it is now

05:05:46.620 --> 05:05:51.020
Oh man, I yeah, and both of you guys pause to make sure your timer doesn't run out. I'm good

05:05:54.620 --> 05:05:56.620
Now is that

05:06:00.900 --> 05:06:07.700
So we're gonna take the donuts that we made earlier the help of hoopa and that's what's gonna be your battle

05:06:08.060 --> 05:06:13.380
For that for the robe that are we ready? Okay? Are we ready crowd?

05:06:13.380 --> 05:06:19.000
The final match of the game and got one begins now. All right, let's go

05:06:19.780 --> 05:06:23.420
Diana's right. She's like I'm ready to count on this matter the next

05:06:24.340 --> 05:06:26.340
now, I

05:06:36.740 --> 05:06:41.780
This is our final match of the game and got like all the models

05:06:43.380 --> 05:06:48.380
Is it? It is back in camera! Let's go!

05:06:48.380 --> 05:06:53.380
Okay, B with the barbaric mode.

05:06:53.380 --> 05:06:58.380
Tactically, Alperia is a dragon fairly type now.

05:06:58.380 --> 05:07:00.380
That's right, and I have poison jab on my hand.

05:07:00.380 --> 05:07:03.380
And I have poison jab, I like it.

05:07:03.380 --> 05:07:07.380
But I worry, remember, what happens if your lead Pokemon goes out?

05:07:07.380 --> 05:07:09.380
At least your cross slash should be really well suited.

05:07:09.380 --> 05:07:11.380
Oh, that's also very true, thank you.

05:07:11.380 --> 05:07:14.380
process to be very

05:07:14.380 --> 05:07:16.380
You're welcome.

05:07:16.380 --> 05:07:18.380
I am so fast.

05:07:18.380 --> 05:07:20.380
With the mega-binette,

05:07:20.380 --> 05:07:22.380
absolute, absolute,

05:07:22.380 --> 05:07:24.380
I'll be your lead captain.

05:07:24.380 --> 05:07:26.380
It was so fast.

05:07:26.380 --> 05:07:28.380
If this is your first half-season

05:07:28.380 --> 05:07:30.380
football at ZA,

05:07:30.380 --> 05:07:32.380
when you have these rogue mega-dolucides,

05:07:32.380 --> 05:07:34.380
you remember, usually you need a bond

05:07:34.380 --> 05:07:35.380
with a trainer, right?

05:07:35.380 --> 05:07:36.380
To mega-evolve.

05:07:36.380 --> 05:07:38.380
You have to mega-brake play,

05:07:38.380 --> 05:07:40.380
and that saves you mega-evolve

05:07:40.380 --> 05:07:46.020
story line these these singular mega evolutions are running amongst throughout

05:07:46.020 --> 05:07:52.900
Lumio City and in their door job team and D represent team of the past to take care

05:07:52.900 --> 05:07:58.560
of these roads mega evolution battle to calm the Pokemon down oh yeah I got

05:07:58.560 --> 05:08:02.980
getting messed around it's time for mega dragon eggs that is the field

05:08:02.980 --> 05:08:04.860
Uh-oh, I like that surf.

05:08:04.860 --> 05:08:06.860
Okay, you got surf for the mega-cambrow.

05:08:06.860 --> 05:08:08.780
That's four times the effective.

05:08:08.780 --> 05:08:11.140
Every single road mega-evolution

05:08:11.140 --> 05:08:13.500
has a different attack pattern,

05:08:13.500 --> 05:08:17.220
a different attack style of things that you have to dive,

05:08:17.220 --> 05:08:19.820
things that you have to get out of the way of,

05:08:19.820 --> 05:08:21.660
and there are certain sequences

05:08:21.660 --> 05:08:23.780
that you do a certain amount of damage.

05:08:23.780 --> 05:08:24.860
They'll get kind of stunned.

05:08:24.860 --> 05:08:27.020
I think we just saw it actually happen

05:08:27.020 --> 05:08:28.780
on one of the screens here.

05:08:28.780 --> 05:08:31.140
And that they'll get stunned

05:08:31.140 --> 05:08:41.140
And then you can do a lot of extra damage either in mega evolution or with your plus moves hitting the plus button or non mega to do more damage.

05:08:41.140 --> 05:08:46.140
Diana, I don't want to jinx you but you're doing great so far, you're getting the infinite down really low.

05:08:46.140 --> 05:08:48.140
Me and Soul have a good bond.

05:08:48.140 --> 05:08:50.140
Yes, we would.

05:08:50.140 --> 05:08:55.140
As it's greater in mega evolution, the bond between trainer and the Pokemon is getting strong.

05:08:55.140 --> 05:09:04.560
And the more damage you do, you can pick up these little hundred skulls that boost your mega evolution meter to evolve and attack faster.

05:09:04.560 --> 05:09:09.260
Two more damage to your mega Pokemon, that dragon.

05:09:10.260 --> 05:09:11.260
This is tough.

05:09:11.260 --> 05:09:13.260
You've got the camera up here.

05:09:13.260 --> 05:09:18.760
Remember, you are in striking distance of V to win the gaming gomri right now.

05:09:18.760 --> 05:09:27.740
If you win this battle, you might overtake her depending where V finishes in this round.

05:09:27.740 --> 05:09:30.740
The camera is really low.

05:09:30.740 --> 05:09:32.740
The surf goes in.

05:09:32.740 --> 05:09:38.740
Diana has the road break of the neck down to roughly the same amount of AT remaining.

05:09:38.740 --> 05:09:42.740
These surfs are doing so much damage.

05:09:42.740 --> 05:09:46.740
Surf and earthquake on the drag, they have such an awesome move set.

05:09:46.740 --> 05:09:49.220
Such a very moveset as well.

05:09:49.220 --> 05:09:53.380
Diana mega evolving again with mega Abol-Z.

05:09:53.380 --> 05:09:56.420
The soul, plus then sign free.

05:09:56.420 --> 05:09:57.460
What do you want?

05:09:57.460 --> 05:09:58.820
Hepamonet is back!

05:09:58.820 --> 05:10:01.260
You two keep going, you two keep going.

05:10:01.260 --> 05:10:02.300
Yep.

05:10:02.300 --> 05:10:05.140
Diana, the battling champion.

05:10:05.140 --> 05:10:07.100
Oh no, I'm going to calm down.

05:10:07.100 --> 05:10:10.340
The rogue, Megamanet, claim your prize, Diana.

05:10:10.340 --> 05:10:11.580
Let's see what berries you get.

05:10:11.580 --> 05:10:13.100
Any guesses?

05:10:13.100 --> 05:10:15.700
I'm hoping we get more berries for shiny hunting.

05:10:15.700 --> 05:10:16.700
That's true.

05:10:16.700 --> 05:10:18.940
because any barrier at this point,

05:10:18.940 --> 05:10:20.900
we need some sweet ones.

05:10:20.900 --> 05:10:22.740
No, no more sourdough.

05:10:22.740 --> 05:10:23.900
Who needs a sourdough?

05:10:23.900 --> 05:10:24.500
Halfly.

05:10:24.500 --> 05:10:26.100
What is poop up?

05:10:26.100 --> 05:10:27.580
You know?

05:10:27.580 --> 05:10:29.300
Congratulations.

05:10:29.300 --> 05:10:30.380
Hey, there we go.

05:10:30.380 --> 05:10:32.100
Dragon taking down Betty Chamberlain.

05:10:32.100 --> 05:10:35.580
Let's get around to the plight.

05:10:35.580 --> 05:10:36.580
Oh, man.

05:10:36.580 --> 05:10:39.380
So to recap that last round, first place

05:10:39.380 --> 05:10:41.860
was Diana, second place to Red Dragon,

05:10:41.860 --> 05:10:43.660
and third place, Agent E.

05:10:43.660 --> 05:10:45.380
Yeah.

05:10:45.380 --> 05:10:46.420
Altaria.

05:10:46.420 --> 05:10:57.420
Yeah, it was kind of nuts, right. Yeah, that was tough. It's a lot of fluff to deal with.

05:10:57.420 --> 05:11:02.420
Listen, maybe you should have chosen better bench to sit on. You might have rolled a different road battle.

05:11:02.420 --> 05:11:06.420
I think that was a bad bench. Never sitting there again.

05:11:06.420 --> 05:11:11.420
Alright, so that is our last battle. So whenever it gets tallied up, we can see the final.

05:11:11.420 --> 05:11:19.660
the final. But the time it gets tallyed you know then I'll win but V is still fighting

05:11:19.660 --> 05:11:25.300
for her love for oh wait no oh my gosh the altari is still super high okay we got the

05:11:25.300 --> 05:11:33.100
standings so Diana winning the last round gets pushed up to six points V with 10 dragon

05:11:33.100 --> 05:11:39.100
7 that means here at the first ever Pokemon XP agent V is the gaming

05:11:39.100 --> 05:11:41.100
Gauntlet champion

05:11:46.100 --> 05:11:53.200
Mega Altaria still is not defeated that doesn't that didn't stop me from winning the whole thing but what

05:11:53.200 --> 05:11:56.580
You just won the championship here. What do you have to say to the crowd? Um

05:11:57.240 --> 05:12:00.100
Mega Altaria might need to be nerfed in ZA, but uh

05:12:00.100 --> 05:12:04.420
I had genuinely such a good time.

05:12:04.420 --> 05:12:09.180
Pokemon XP has been so fun and to play with my friends here has been pretty awesome.

05:12:09.180 --> 05:12:11.180
Yeah, they've been having me, Joe.

05:12:11.180 --> 05:12:12.180
Of course, yeah.

05:12:12.180 --> 05:12:15.060
Let's give a round of applause for VR Champion again.

05:12:15.060 --> 05:12:17.620
Now, Dragon, you have been dethroned.

05:12:17.620 --> 05:12:21.620
However, you've been an excellent sport and a great vibe here on stage.

05:12:21.620 --> 05:12:22.620
What do you have to say?

05:12:22.620 --> 05:12:25.220
Now, obviously, I just lost to the better opponent.

05:12:25.220 --> 05:12:28.020
V was locked in on pretty much every single challenger.

05:12:28.020 --> 05:12:30.660
I couldn't have lost to a bad trainer.

05:12:30.660 --> 05:12:35.060
That being said, I do have another game show to attend,

05:12:35.060 --> 05:12:37.380
so hopefully I can win that later on.

05:12:37.380 --> 05:12:39.060
Everybody loves a good comeback story.

05:12:39.060 --> 05:12:41.500
You can bounce back and win the next one.

05:12:41.500 --> 05:12:43.780
And Diana, I know there were some ups and downs,

05:12:43.780 --> 05:12:47.300
but at least you calm down that rogue mega evolution

05:12:47.300 --> 05:12:48.540
at the end, right?

05:12:48.540 --> 05:12:49.060
Exactly.

05:12:49.060 --> 05:12:50.540
I actually crushed that.

05:12:50.540 --> 05:12:51.700
It was kind of crazy.

05:12:51.700 --> 05:12:54.260
All right, so thank you all so much for joining us here

05:12:54.260 --> 05:12:55.260
at the gaming.

05:12:55.260 --> 05:12:59.740
Let's get one last round of applause for our awesome contestants.

05:12:59.740 --> 05:13:03.140
If you had fun, let them know it.

05:13:03.140 --> 05:13:06.740
I want to let you know, I want to let you know I ran out of donut energy.

05:13:06.740 --> 05:13:08.380
I couldn't even do it.

05:13:08.380 --> 05:13:10.460
You ran out of donut energy.

05:13:10.460 --> 05:13:13.980
The Rogue mega-alteria fights to live another day.

05:13:13.980 --> 05:13:16.660
Thank you all so much for taking a quick break.

05:13:16.660 --> 05:13:18.940
When we come back, don't go anywhere.

05:13:18.940 --> 05:13:24.860
It will be the final Pikachu dance party of the weekend.

05:13:24.860 --> 05:13:26.860
All right, so we'll be right back.

05:15:24.860 --> 05:15:26.860
On a new adventure

05:15:26.860 --> 05:15:28.860
No one knows where the road will take us

05:15:28.860 --> 05:15:31.860
Already said, cause now it's time to go

05:15:31.860 --> 05:15:34.860
Maybe we can finally see

05:15:34.860 --> 05:15:36.860
Who meant to be

05:15:36.860 --> 05:15:39.860
We start from the way we used to be

05:15:39.860 --> 05:15:42.860
Every time you show us who we are

05:15:42.860 --> 05:15:45.860
We'll be right side by side to glory

05:15:45.860 --> 05:15:48.860
Together you and I will touch the stars

05:15:48.860 --> 05:15:52.860
And then, we'll do it all over again

05:15:52.860 --> 05:15:56.460
Cause even if we leave our way

05:15:56.460 --> 05:16:00.460
We say, here we go

05:16:02.460 --> 05:16:06.460
Here we go again

05:16:06.460 --> 05:16:09.460
Can't even get it enough time

05:16:09.460 --> 05:16:11.460
Here we go

05:16:13.460 --> 05:16:17.460
Here we go again

05:16:17.460 --> 05:16:21.460
Lever's lost in a lot of time

05:16:21.460 --> 05:16:26.460
Everyday, we all will look for our friends

05:16:26.460 --> 05:16:29.460
Here we go again

05:16:31.460 --> 05:16:34.460
We look around to familiar faces

05:16:34.460 --> 05:16:37.460
All of us on the path to the unknown

05:16:37.460 --> 05:16:39.460
We control the edge of the ring

05:16:39.460 --> 05:16:41.460
We dance, see when we're walking

05:16:41.460 --> 05:16:44.460
Make sure you know that dance

05:16:44.460 --> 05:16:46.460
We'll do it all over again

05:16:46.460 --> 05:16:50.460
Cause even if we win the day

05:16:50.460 --> 05:16:52.960
You always say

05:16:54.260 --> 05:16:55.460
Here we go

05:16:58.460 --> 05:17:00.960
Here we go again

05:17:02.960 --> 05:17:05.460
There is nothing left

05:17:06.460 --> 05:17:07.460
Take me away

05:17:07.460 --> 05:17:08.960
Take me over

05:17:08.960 --> 05:17:10.960
Take my life

05:17:11.960 --> 05:17:16.460
Here we go again

05:17:50.460 --> 05:18:01.460
My fans, we go, we go, we go again.

05:18:11.460 --> 05:18:15.460
Have the best song ever! Welcome back to Pokemon XP.

05:18:15.460 --> 05:18:17.460
I am Anna here with Joshua and Glitter.

05:18:17.460 --> 05:18:21.500
We are at the pxp desk and you just heard here we go again. I

05:18:22.740 --> 05:18:25.380
Think I've heard I've heard your voice somewhere

05:18:26.220 --> 05:18:29.700
Couple things. Yeah, I think it was on that video. It was on that video

05:18:29.700 --> 05:18:34.140
Yeah, this is a this is a pretty good friend of mine actually Nate wants to battle welcome to the stage

05:18:34.140 --> 05:18:40.100
Thank you for having me. I wasn't totally aware that the video was gonna play right before so I'm gonna cry on stream

05:18:40.100 --> 05:18:44.700
Which is fun. I'm really glad you said that first because I literally had to fight back tears before

05:18:44.700 --> 05:18:50.940
before we started this. I want to run with Umbreon around the rings of a planet and with

05:18:50.940 --> 05:18:55.900
all my friends. That was a really, really fun song. Nate wants to battle here as someone

05:18:55.900 --> 05:19:00.900
who has been on the world championship soundtrack before, is returning this year. Tell us a little

05:19:00.900 --> 05:19:03.140
bit about who you are and what you do.

05:19:03.140 --> 05:19:08.660
I am Nathan Sharp, as he said, Nate wants to battle. I do a lot of music in the nerdy

05:19:08.660 --> 05:19:13.260
things realm, a lot of Pokemon music for sure. This is actually my third time being

05:19:13.260 --> 05:19:19.580
on the soundtrack for Worlds, which is a huge honor, and I landed the trilogy, so good.

05:19:19.580 --> 05:19:24.420
Is that... that's gotta be one of the most soundtracks anyone's been on?

05:19:24.420 --> 05:19:26.860
Oh, I don't know about that one.

05:19:26.860 --> 05:19:33.140
It's the most Pokémon soundtracks I've been on personally, so that I can confirm.

05:19:33.140 --> 05:19:37.020
Big congratulations, definitely a feat, but it's been so great to get to know you a

05:19:37.020 --> 05:19:41.180
little bit better behind the scenes and to see how much talent you have in that

05:19:41.180 --> 05:19:45.900
music video and to see your music catalog. But I'd really love to know what really inspired

05:19:45.900 --> 05:19:50.360
you to dive deeper into the world of music before you would start to create soundtracks

05:19:50.360 --> 05:19:54.100
for some of the best video games and, and IPs around.

05:19:54.100 --> 05:19:59.620
I mean, I've been, I've been a musician all my life. I started very, very young. My parents

05:19:59.620 --> 05:20:03.860
put me in front of a piano and they're like, Hey, you're not like terrible at this.

05:20:03.860 --> 05:20:07.740
You're really bad at sports, but, you know, do this piano thing. I'm like, All right,

05:20:07.740 --> 05:20:16.300
so I stuck with it for a while, but growing up alongside music was always, you know, video games,

05:20:16.860 --> 05:20:24.300
anime, and Pokemon was always such a huge one for me. I'm carbon-dating myself,

05:20:24.300 --> 05:20:30.220
but I started with red and blue and only stepped away from playing for maybe a year,

05:20:30.220 --> 05:20:35.740
so I've been, I'd say, somewhat consistent with keeping up with everything. And then

05:20:35.740 --> 05:20:39.620
And at a certain point, just combining the two things

05:20:39.620 --> 05:20:41.460
sort of made sense.

05:20:41.460 --> 05:20:44.780
I tried my hand at, you know, garage bands

05:20:44.780 --> 05:20:45.780
and things like that.

05:20:45.780 --> 05:20:47.900
And some went well, some didn't.

05:20:47.900 --> 05:20:51.220
But just kind of started making stuff inspired

05:20:51.220 --> 05:20:53.300
by video games, posting it online,

05:20:53.300 --> 05:20:56.420
see what lands, and you know, now here we are.

05:20:57.340 --> 05:20:59.220
I know that Pokemon was really important to you

05:20:59.220 --> 05:21:00.360
in your childhood as well.

05:21:00.360 --> 05:21:01.860
Can you talk a little bit about that?

05:21:01.860 --> 05:21:02.700
Oh yeah.

05:21:02.700 --> 05:21:07.600
I mean, like I said, it was one of the first things that helped me make friends.

05:21:07.600 --> 05:21:18.780
I was a very socially awkward kid, as long as I can remember, and then, you know, Pokemon

05:21:18.780 --> 05:21:22.500
did what it did when it landed, all my friends were getting into it, I was getting into

05:21:22.500 --> 05:21:25.340
it, and that just led to more people.

05:21:25.340 --> 05:21:29.260
It was this cool common ground that was just like, hey, you like this thing, and

05:21:29.260 --> 05:21:30.540
they're like, you like this thing.

05:21:30.540 --> 05:21:32.560
Let's be friends about it. It's like all right cool

05:21:32.560 --> 05:21:39.160
You know like the the trading car game trading trading in the games when you know it was a cable that was like two feet long

05:21:39.160 --> 05:21:41.160
You really have to like

05:21:41.200 --> 05:21:43.200
Be cool with your friends. Yeah

05:21:44.200 --> 05:21:48.880
So then so then talk to us a little bit about how this relationship came to fruition. How did you get to?

05:21:49.400 --> 05:21:53.960
Be a musician love Pokemon make them come together and then get to work for

05:21:54.760 --> 05:21:56.760
um

05:21:57.120 --> 05:21:59.120
I was at the

05:21:59.120 --> 05:22:06.600
the Yokohama world, just kind of like hanging out and, you know, I was able to, you know,

05:22:06.600 --> 05:22:13.400
meet some of the people who were working on some of the behind the scenes things and word

05:22:13.400 --> 05:22:19.680
got out somehow that I was a musician, but also like really, really into this and some

05:22:19.680 --> 05:22:27.280
of the music director was like, hey, we really want to give the opportunity to someone

05:22:27.280 --> 05:22:31.200
like from the community someone we know not that there's anything wrong with

05:22:31.200 --> 05:22:34.680
like you know being the hired musician be like hey sing the song it's like okay

05:22:34.680 --> 05:22:39.800
cool but they really wanted to like put an emphasis on we want someone who we

05:22:39.800 --> 05:22:45.880
know has that connection has that love has this passion for the games and you

05:22:45.880 --> 05:22:52.240
know for for all of it so it was a it was a huge chance that they took you

05:22:52.240 --> 05:22:56.080
know betting on me but I'm very grateful to have done it and very very

05:22:56.080 --> 05:23:00.040
happy for the opportunity and to keep getting asked back is just insane honor.

05:23:00.040 --> 05:23:03.800
They made the right choice. They made the right choice. We can even feel the emotions

05:23:03.800 --> 05:23:06.640
watching that music video here and a lot of people got to enjoy it around the

05:23:06.640 --> 05:23:10.400
world when we first kicked off the broadcast. It's now day three. You've

05:23:10.400 --> 05:23:13.120
been around to see all sorts of different experiences, boosts and

05:23:13.120 --> 05:23:16.800
activities here at Pokemon XP. This is the first event of its kind and for all

05:23:16.800 --> 05:23:20.120
of us that have been fans for Pokemon for quite a long time, what's it

05:23:20.120 --> 05:23:24.080
like to be here and to feel so much of this positivity and energy around

05:23:24.080 --> 05:23:28.600
Oh, it's always great the community aspect to be able to like

05:23:29.580 --> 05:23:31.580
You know because I

05:23:31.580 --> 05:23:40.580
Like I'm here, but I'm really just here as a fan as much as like anybody else is so you know meeting people who either like know me

05:23:41.540 --> 05:23:47.580
Just for like my own stuff or even the Pokemon stuff like being able to talk with them about it on like you know

05:23:47.580 --> 05:23:51.200
This convention level thing. It's it's so cool. It's so cool to see

05:23:51.200 --> 05:23:57.280
how much it just keeps growing and growing like Rayquaza Road's insane and that we're gonna...

05:23:57.280 --> 05:24:06.320
Rayquaza Road is such a feat just like walking up and down even like I've experienced what I

05:24:06.320 --> 05:24:11.680
wanted to experience and still I'm just like I'm coming back just for the vibes just like the

05:24:11.680 --> 05:24:16.960
level of Pokemon immersion is like everything I wanted you know as a child and as an adult.

05:24:16.960 --> 05:24:22.120
I was being facetious before saying the Nates are a really good friend of mine, we actually

05:24:22.120 --> 05:24:25.160
are married, full disclosure.

05:24:25.160 --> 05:24:27.800
Not everyone knows that probably.

05:24:27.800 --> 05:24:32.360
That's why I happen to have a very deep working knowledge of Nate wants to battle lore.

05:24:32.360 --> 05:24:39.320
But I want to talk a little bit about the process of bringing a song to life for Pokemon.

05:24:39.320 --> 05:24:44.920
I know because I was there, in fact, Fun Little Easter Egg, there's some very faint

05:24:44.920 --> 05:24:48.920
background vocals in that song that are uncredited.

05:24:48.920 --> 05:24:50.840
Might be a voice you recognize, might be.

05:24:50.840 --> 05:24:54.280
But tell us about what it's like to make a song like that.

05:24:54.280 --> 05:24:55.720
How long does it take?

05:24:55.720 --> 05:24:57.040
Where do you have to go to do it?

05:24:57.040 --> 05:24:59.280
What is it like when you record?

05:24:59.280 --> 05:25:01.120
And then how does it make it all the way

05:25:01.120 --> 05:25:03.280
to what we see at Worlds?

05:25:04.440 --> 05:25:07.720
It's interesting because it's different every time.

05:25:07.720 --> 05:25:11.720
You know, like there have been some songs I've done

05:25:11.720 --> 05:25:16.000
where originally it would just be pitched as like a demo,

05:25:16.000 --> 05:25:17.200
it's like, hey, just sing this

05:25:17.200 --> 05:25:18.520
and we'll see how they feel about it.

05:25:18.520 --> 05:25:20.680
And they're just like, yeah, it's all good.

05:25:20.680 --> 05:25:21.600
Like just run that one.

05:25:21.600 --> 05:25:23.160
It's like, oh, okay, cool.

05:25:23.160 --> 05:25:27.480
But then there's other times where we'll record,

05:25:27.480 --> 05:25:29.640
we'll do some takes, we'll send it in

05:25:29.640 --> 05:25:32.720
and they'll be like, hey, the insert x, y, z thing,

05:25:32.720 --> 05:25:36.200
change this, tweak that, this note.

05:25:36.200 --> 05:25:37.200
We want a different,

05:25:37.200 --> 05:25:40.960
we want it just a different delivery on some stuff.

05:25:40.960 --> 05:25:45.680
So it's always an interesting process.

05:25:45.680 --> 05:25:51.800
It always piques my curiosity to see what somebody wants

05:25:51.800 --> 05:25:54.200
differently from how I envision something.

05:25:54.200 --> 05:25:57.360
But this time around, it was really fun.

05:25:57.360 --> 05:25:58.880
It was really enjoyable.

05:25:58.880 --> 05:26:03.840
It was a pretty smooth process with a lot of how audio and

05:26:03.840 --> 05:26:05.440
music production works now.

05:26:05.440 --> 05:26:13.480
Like so much is done digitally that you have the time and efficiency

05:26:13.480 --> 05:26:18.240
to cut as many demos as you need before landing on a final product

05:26:18.240 --> 05:26:21.040
rather than having to worry about, oh, OK, we need to make sure

05:26:21.040 --> 05:26:23.680
everyone's in the same place at the same time.

05:26:23.680 --> 05:26:29.040
So yeah, overall it was really efficient, really stoked on it.

05:26:29.040 --> 05:26:31.720
I'd really like to know between the two of you,

05:26:31.720 --> 05:26:34.520
you're both very musically inclined, incredibly talented.

05:26:34.520 --> 05:26:39.860
What is it like to collaborate or maybe bounce ideas off each other to see does this sound right?

05:26:39.860 --> 05:26:45.200
Maybe we can pitch this differently and are there frustrations when it comes to that point

05:26:45.200 --> 05:26:47.540
or do you guys feel like you're on the same page most of the time?

05:26:48.420 --> 05:26:50.520
You can go for it.

05:26:50.520 --> 05:26:53.360
I mean I think it is true we are both musically inclined.

05:26:53.360 --> 05:26:58.120
Nate has a lot of runway on me in terms of like devoting the time, energy

05:26:58.120 --> 05:27:02.480
and professional attention to it that he has and so that's been really inspiring for me.

05:27:02.480 --> 05:27:07.480
Actually wanting to be involved with Pokemon Musically is something that has been going

05:27:07.480 --> 05:27:11.640
on for me since I started with Pokemon Worlds and honestly being around Nate, watching him,

05:27:11.640 --> 05:27:15.680
admiring him was part of what got me to put myself forward for that and be like, please

05:27:15.680 --> 05:27:16.680
consider me.

05:27:16.680 --> 05:27:21.640
I want to be using this part of my artistry and my creativity in the Pokemon World.

05:27:21.640 --> 05:27:27.840
So I don't know that I have much to offer him musically other than like that vibe

05:27:27.840 --> 05:27:28.840
sick.

05:27:28.840 --> 05:27:29.840
You know?

05:27:29.840 --> 05:27:30.840
I agree.

05:27:30.840 --> 05:27:31.840
The vibe is in fact sick.

05:27:31.840 --> 05:27:35.840
Yeah, the vibe is sick, which reminds me, actually,

05:27:35.840 --> 05:27:38.480
we were talking to another great musician earlier,

05:27:38.480 --> 05:27:43.160
Ed was here, and we were talking about musical influences.

05:27:43.160 --> 05:27:44.680
And he specifically said something

05:27:44.680 --> 05:27:45.840
that kind of caught me off guard.

05:27:45.840 --> 05:27:48.400
He said, all of us around this kind of music,

05:27:48.400 --> 05:27:49.400
we all are metalheads.

05:27:49.400 --> 05:27:50.600
We love metal.

05:27:50.600 --> 05:27:51.800
Does that surprise you?

05:27:54.000 --> 05:27:55.440
I don't know if it surprises me.

05:27:55.440 --> 05:28:00.200
I feel like, it used to, but as I've gotten more,

05:28:00.200 --> 05:28:03.720
like, you know, working on this side of the industry things,

05:28:03.720 --> 05:28:07.320
like there's so many metalheads in the scene,

05:28:07.320 --> 05:28:09.640
which I think is cool because like I'm definitely

05:28:09.640 --> 05:28:10.720
a new metalhead.

05:28:10.720 --> 05:28:14.100
So it's fun to like meet these people

05:28:14.100 --> 05:28:16.360
who are on the production side of things, like I said,

05:28:16.360 --> 05:28:18.200
and just like kind of bond over that, you know,

05:28:18.200 --> 05:28:19.960
it's different levels, cause you know,

05:28:19.960 --> 05:28:22.440
they're probably listening to metal

05:28:22.440 --> 05:28:23.800
that was a little before my time,

05:28:23.800 --> 05:28:24.880
but then I'm listening to the stuff

05:28:24.880 --> 05:28:28.120
that was obviously influenced by what they grew up with.

05:28:28.120 --> 05:28:30.700
So it all comes together.

05:28:30.700 --> 05:28:32.540
And also hearing a lot of stuff.

05:28:32.540 --> 05:28:36.020
Like there'll be an occasional guitar tone or drum fill

05:28:36.020 --> 05:28:38.100
where it's just like, oh, I see that.

05:28:38.100 --> 05:28:40.260
I can see the influence.

05:28:40.260 --> 05:28:43.140
You should ask him what his favorite Pokemon is.

05:28:43.140 --> 05:28:44.740
Is this, OK, I hope this is a good thing.

05:28:44.740 --> 05:28:47.140
Then you're obviously, it's part of the trend,

05:28:47.140 --> 05:28:49.180
you have to let us know what your favorite Pokemon is.

05:28:49.180 --> 05:28:50.180
I'm a little scared now.

05:28:50.180 --> 05:28:51.020
I'm a little scared.

05:28:51.020 --> 05:28:54.860
My favorite Pokemon is Zoroark.

05:28:54.860 --> 05:28:55.820
Oh!

05:28:55.820 --> 05:28:57.700
I was just excited that we would keep the street.

05:28:57.700 --> 05:28:59.700
What's the streak?

05:28:59.700 --> 05:29:03.060
We're just asking people. We've been asking everyone to come up here and chat it with us

05:29:03.060 --> 05:29:08.440
And we've not gotten a single repeat yet even out of like if we ask people atop 3 we still haven't got

05:29:08.440 --> 05:29:12.220
a repeat for favorite Pokemon. Okay, okay. Which is just kept it.

05:29:12.220 --> 05:29:15.260
Why are we going? Yeah. Yeah, nice. Yeah, do you want to do a top three?

05:29:15.260 --> 05:29:19.540
I could do a top three, but I feel like that'll ruin the streak. Okay, don't

05:29:19.540 --> 05:29:25.880
Actually, no, there's only one. I think my second favorite isn't gonna come up either, but one is Zoroark

05:29:25.880 --> 05:29:27.880
Second is Rapid Dash.

05:29:27.880 --> 05:29:29.880
I don't think we've had Rapid Dash.

05:29:29.880 --> 05:29:30.880
No, we haven't. Surprisingly.

05:29:30.880 --> 05:29:31.880
Third, ooh.

05:29:31.880 --> 05:29:34.880
Ooh, third, third is a toss-up.

05:29:34.880 --> 05:29:35.880
It changes.

05:29:35.880 --> 05:29:36.880
You can do four.

05:29:36.880 --> 05:29:41.880
I'm going to go in my gut and say today my third is Ho-Oh.

05:29:41.880 --> 05:29:43.880
Yep, we haven't Ho-Oh either.

05:29:43.880 --> 05:29:44.880
Wow, amazing.

05:29:44.880 --> 05:29:45.880
Not a single one.

05:29:45.880 --> 05:29:47.880
This is, I feel like this is a blessing.

05:29:47.880 --> 05:29:51.880
It is, it is an auspicious omen that we haven't had a single repeat.

05:29:51.880 --> 05:29:53.880
Has Requiza been said?

05:29:53.880 --> 05:29:54.880
Once.

05:29:54.880 --> 05:29:56.880
It has been said as like you've been loving

05:29:56.880 --> 05:29:57.880
As a top three, yeah.

05:29:57.880 --> 05:29:59.880
Okay, that was almost the third today.

05:29:59.880 --> 05:30:01.880
Yeah, you went with your gut. That was a good call.

05:30:01.880 --> 05:30:02.880
That was a good call.

05:30:02.880 --> 05:30:05.880
Now, tell us about your experience at Pokemon XP.

05:30:05.880 --> 05:30:09.880
What has been your favorite thing that you have either run into, collected,

05:30:09.880 --> 05:30:11.880
participated in, a memory you've seen?

05:30:11.880 --> 05:30:14.880
Well, we just built some Legos,

05:30:14.880 --> 05:30:17.880
and that was very, very fun.

05:30:17.880 --> 05:30:20.880
I was, I was, I'm still like kind of coming down

05:30:20.880 --> 05:30:22.880
because I was really locked in,

05:30:22.880 --> 05:30:25.380
because I was told there was a time restraint.

05:30:25.380 --> 05:30:27.100
I didn't hear what the time restraint was,

05:30:27.100 --> 05:30:29.100
so my brain was like, it's probably one minute,

05:30:29.100 --> 05:30:30.460
so I've got one minute to do this.

05:30:30.460 --> 05:30:32.420
I was running, we were missing pieces,

05:30:32.420 --> 05:30:33.700
so I was running to other tables,

05:30:33.700 --> 05:30:34.860
I'm just like, no, I got you.

05:30:34.860 --> 05:30:36.620
This is like grabbing buckets everywhere,

05:30:36.620 --> 05:30:38.300
and just like, where's the flatbread?

05:30:38.300 --> 05:30:39.820
We didn't have flatbreads, we were just like,

05:30:39.820 --> 05:30:41.380
where's the flatbread?

05:30:41.380 --> 05:30:43.620
The meta is already so deep for all of us.

05:30:43.620 --> 05:30:45.180
The flatbreads, we didn't have the flatbreads.

05:30:45.180 --> 05:30:46.700
It was specifically a square piece

05:30:46.700 --> 05:30:47.860
with no bumps on the top,

05:30:47.860 --> 05:30:52.700
that was for Legos spots, so you follow?

05:30:52.700 --> 05:30:54.200
Yeah. Yeah. Call it that.

05:30:54.200 --> 05:30:55.460
Do you guys want to see the finished product?

05:30:55.460 --> 05:30:57.160
Oh, you have it with you? I do, actually.

05:30:57.160 --> 05:30:59.660
We, Nate and I kind of tag-teamed a little bit

05:30:59.660 --> 05:31:00.800
to help each other out. Wow.

05:31:00.800 --> 05:31:03.200
But here's the beautiful box that it comes in,

05:31:03.200 --> 05:31:04.340
and then you get to open it up.

05:31:04.340 --> 05:31:05.800
And this is over at the craft station,

05:31:05.800 --> 05:31:07.800
in case you guys haven't checked that part out yet.

05:31:07.800 --> 05:31:10.360
But then here we go. It is a Pokeball inside,

05:31:10.360 --> 05:31:11.640
and then it opens up.

05:31:11.640 --> 05:31:13.060
Woo-wee!

05:31:13.060 --> 05:31:13.960
And they're meant to keep...

05:31:13.960 --> 05:31:15.660
Tell us about what's supposed to go inside Glitter.

05:31:15.660 --> 05:31:17.260
You saw these in action.

05:31:17.260 --> 05:31:18.460
It's the little tags, right?

05:31:18.460 --> 05:31:19.460
It's the smart...

05:31:19.460 --> 05:31:20.860
So if you guys haven't seen the stuff

05:31:20.860 --> 05:31:26.380
with the LEGO with it is, it is the smart tag, they do work with this Pokeball. So,

05:31:26.380 --> 05:31:29.140
if you're at the craft station and then you want to go check out the LEGO booth, talk

05:31:29.140 --> 05:31:31.900
to them about it, you'll see it also on your instructions when you're looking and doing

05:31:31.900 --> 05:31:35.380
the craft itself, so you can get a little bit more information there in the booklet,

05:31:35.380 --> 05:31:38.300
but it's very cool. It's very cool.

05:31:38.300 --> 05:31:42.900
Nate, we just talked about building LEGOs. We've talked a lot about music. One of

05:31:42.900 --> 05:31:46.460
the themes that has come up on this desk is we're noticing how no one has

05:31:46.460 --> 05:31:51.740
to really be one thing here. Everyone can kind of be so many things in the Pokemon community

05:31:51.740 --> 05:31:55.740
and I know that you also, you love to collect, you love to play the games, there's a lot

05:31:55.740 --> 05:32:00.860
that you like. So what other aspect of Pokemon is thrilling you the most recently? Is it

05:32:00.860 --> 05:32:09.820
TCG collecting? TCG collecting for sure. Also I've been known to shiny hunt from time

05:32:09.820 --> 05:32:14.860
to time. I do like my little sparkles and my different color Pokemon.

05:32:14.860 --> 05:32:17.280
Mm-hmm. We haven't asked who favorite shinies are

05:32:17.880 --> 05:32:22.240
You're a favorite shiny. Is it different? I do I do. Yes. What is it?

05:32:24.000 --> 05:32:29.880
Because everyone has opinions every everyone, you know isn't how to but this one has a blatantly right answer

05:32:29.880 --> 05:32:35.240
And it is shiny metagross. It is literally a good one. It is a trophy

05:32:35.240 --> 05:32:41.160
It is it is like platinum with a gold X on the front. It's just it's beautiful. It's like it's a

05:32:41.480 --> 05:32:43.480
it's a good

05:32:43.480 --> 05:32:50.340
Like crowning achievement be like you did here is your trophy of the hope and it's just like beautiful

05:32:50.340 --> 05:32:54.540
That was a really good defense of the choice. I was like any time you say there is a right answer

05:32:54.540 --> 05:32:57.520
I'm ready to debate you but that was pretty good defense. Thank you. What do you think?

05:32:57.520 --> 05:33:01.440
I am a fan of men agros so like I like the shout

05:33:01.860 --> 05:33:06.920
I'm not I'm not set about it. I also do like black rickwaza though. Oh, wait, wait

05:33:06.920 --> 05:33:08.920
Oh my answer might have changed

05:33:09.640 --> 05:33:10.260
All right

05:33:10.260 --> 05:33:12.660
Well, you'll have to think about that because we don't have too much more time

05:33:12.660 --> 05:33:17.280
But I want to give you a chance to tell people where they can find you on the internet and what's coming up next

05:33:17.280 --> 05:33:19.280
What should they watch out for from you? Oh, yeah

05:33:19.500 --> 05:33:26.680
Well, wherever you listen to music you can listen to Nate wants to battle. That is me. I'm the guy that wants to battle

05:33:27.340 --> 05:33:34.860
I mean next for me. I'm going on tour in Europe in October with a couple other cool nerd

05:33:35.380 --> 05:33:39.700
Influenced musicians. So yeah, if you're around check it out

05:33:40.260 --> 05:33:43.300
Thank you so much for coming. Thank you. It's been an absolute pleasure.

05:33:43.300 --> 05:33:45.460
Mm-hmm. Don't you guys agree? Absolutely.

05:33:45.460 --> 05:33:48.980
It's our best guess we've had. And it's been phenomenal to see how you both

05:33:48.980 --> 05:33:52.980
play that best out of each other as well. Aw, shucks. Shucks.

05:33:52.980 --> 05:33:55.700
All right. It's true. Thank you so much. And you know what?

05:33:55.700 --> 05:33:58.260
We've got even more coming your way from Pokemon XP.

05:37:50.820 --> 05:37:52.820
I

05:38:50.820 --> 05:39:09.660
Hello and welcome back to Pokemon XP. I am Anna and this is Joshua and Glitter here with

05:39:09.660 --> 05:39:14.200
me on the desk and we are joined by another illustrious musical guest. Could you introduce

05:39:14.200 --> 05:39:19.300
yourself to the people at home? Hello. I'm Carlos, insane on the rain. Carlos

05:39:19.300 --> 05:39:21.300
I play music.

05:39:21.300 --> 05:39:23.300
Yes. What kind of music do you play?

05:39:23.300 --> 05:39:25.300
I play video game music.

05:39:25.300 --> 05:39:28.300
I've been a long time video game music content creator online,

05:39:28.300 --> 05:39:32.300
but recently actually shifted to working in the video game music space professionally,

05:39:32.300 --> 05:39:37.300
and I worked on Pokemon Legends DA, and I made some music that you are probably very familiar with

05:39:37.300 --> 05:39:39.300
if you have played the game.

05:39:39.300 --> 05:39:42.300
That's such a cool thing to be able to say, I feel like.

05:39:42.300 --> 05:39:47.300
How does it feel to be telling this group of people who have clearly listened to your music quite a bit

05:39:47.300 --> 05:39:49.300
music quite a bit that you were the one who made it?

05:39:49.300 --> 05:39:51.300
It's like the greatest honor of my life.

05:39:51.300 --> 05:39:55.300
I grew up, I grew up literally loving Pokemon

05:39:55.300 --> 05:39:59.300
and just Pokemon music is what inspired me to become a musician

05:39:59.300 --> 05:40:03.300
and to be able to go so full circle and just, you know, not only

05:40:03.300 --> 05:40:07.300
be allowed to arrange some of the songs that I grew up listening to

05:40:07.300 --> 05:40:11.300
and loving but also work alongside the people that wrote them which people don't think about

05:40:11.300 --> 05:40:15.300
is that there are composers that write these songs that are being

05:40:15.300 --> 05:40:17.140
being broadcast at this event that you know in your hearts

05:40:17.140 --> 05:40:19.040
and you just take for granted, it kind of exists.

05:40:19.040 --> 05:40:22.300
But some people made those and I know of them.

05:40:22.300 --> 05:40:23.420
And that's really cool.

05:40:23.420 --> 05:40:26.580
So it is a huge honor and I take it very seriously

05:40:26.580 --> 05:40:29.380
but also with a lot of fun at the same time.

05:40:29.380 --> 05:40:30.940
And there's something to be said, especially about

05:40:30.940 --> 05:40:32.740
our generation growing up with video games

05:40:32.740 --> 05:40:34.380
and seeing the impact different soundtracks

05:40:34.380 --> 05:40:35.980
have had on us.

05:40:35.980 --> 05:40:37.300
And we get to talk to somebody,

05:40:37.300 --> 05:40:38.740
be like, oh yeah, I really love this game

05:40:38.740 --> 05:40:39.940
and I love the music behind it

05:40:39.940 --> 05:40:41.460
and they just start to nerd out going,

05:40:41.460 --> 05:40:43.140
yeah, in this certain area,

05:40:43.140 --> 05:40:45.600
there's certain track that was used.

05:40:45.600 --> 05:40:48.240
So within your personal history,

05:40:48.240 --> 05:40:50.920
how did that really impact to you back in the day

05:40:50.920 --> 05:40:52.140
for 30 years of Pokemon?

05:40:52.140 --> 05:40:54.360
And how has that been a wellspring, if you will,

05:40:54.360 --> 05:40:56.120
to inspire you to create music today?

05:40:56.120 --> 05:40:59.400
Well, I mean, what you're describing is probably,

05:40:59.400 --> 05:41:01.360
is like the coolest phenomenon about video game music,

05:41:01.360 --> 05:41:03.400
in that when you hear a song, right,

05:41:03.400 --> 05:41:06.320
that song activates like a certain part of your brain

05:41:06.320 --> 05:41:07.880
and then every memory that you have

05:41:07.880 --> 05:41:10.120
that is tied to that song just like comes flooding back,

05:41:10.120 --> 05:41:12.400
like the Ratatouille moment, you know?

05:41:12.400 --> 05:41:15.760
But it's like, oh my gosh, I remember exactly what this is like.

05:41:15.760 --> 05:41:18.560
And I have had so many of those moments in Pokemon.

05:41:18.560 --> 05:41:20.760
Like I could name so many of them.

05:41:20.760 --> 05:41:23.160
The first one that comes to mind is in Ruby Sapphire Emerald,

05:41:23.160 --> 05:41:24.640
you walk into Meteor Falls.

05:41:24.640 --> 05:41:27.420
And it's like this beautiful cascading piece of music

05:41:27.420 --> 05:41:30.600
that just really makes you realize how big this space is.

05:41:30.600 --> 05:41:33.960
And it's just so magical.

05:41:33.960 --> 05:41:36.080
Fortree City in Pokemon Ruby Sapphire Emerald,

05:41:36.080 --> 05:41:40.360
looks like a town with the little clacks of tree huts

05:41:40.360 --> 05:41:46.120
and stuff and it has like this, you know, it just, all those things just work together

05:41:46.120 --> 05:41:51.920
to make a beautiful and very meaningful experience when you're playing through the games and

05:41:51.920 --> 05:41:57.080
I know exactly what that is like as a fan and I harness all those experiences that

05:41:57.080 --> 05:42:01.280
I've had in my life when I work on music, professionally, so.

05:42:01.280 --> 05:42:04.320
And there's so much character that can be created in the soundtracks themselves

05:42:04.320 --> 05:42:08.920
because sometimes these games they don't have a whole lot of dialogue or voice actors

05:42:08.920 --> 05:42:14.240
in certain moments, and so you create a space or a tone or a vibe.

05:42:14.240 --> 05:42:18.320
For your expertise, what is it like to try to capture that tone and vibe?

05:42:18.320 --> 05:42:23.960
Is there like a number of images or art or renders that, you know, Pokemon or other

05:42:23.960 --> 05:42:28.240
company will send you or are you just inspired by being in a physical location or what's

05:42:28.240 --> 05:42:29.240
that process like?

05:42:29.240 --> 05:42:32.800
I think that my inspiration comes from literally every experience I have ever had in my

05:42:32.800 --> 05:42:37.320
entire life, which is the most broad possible answer, but it's the truth, right?

05:42:37.320 --> 05:42:41.000
Like when you live your life, you're accumulating a variety of experiences, right?

05:42:41.000 --> 05:42:48.440
And when I am tasked with creating a certain vibe or creating a piece of music to match a location,

05:42:48.440 --> 05:42:53.800
I'm drawing on where I've like, where, like, I don't know, everything, like physical places I've been,

05:42:53.800 --> 05:42:58.080
other games that I've experienced and had a similar feeling, or other music I've listened to

05:42:58.080 --> 05:43:01.720
that may not be associated with a video game that makes me feel a certain way, or I think like,

05:43:01.720 --> 05:43:09.360
Oh, I could hear this song being in a video game, you know, and I know, I would know exactly what vibe this song would take.

05:43:10.120 --> 05:43:23.060
And sometimes it's a mismatch of all those things. I have this concept in my mind of the mental orchestra that every piece of music I've listened to, like every artist, like, lives in this giant concert hall in my mind.

05:43:23.060 --> 05:43:31.100
And I think they're all just like little mingling, they're mingling and talking to each other. And then sometimes when I'm given a task of like, for example, like, like when I was working on

05:43:31.100 --> 05:43:34.300
the theme for Lumio City Day in the Pogmall Legends DA.

05:43:34.300 --> 05:43:36.780
I was thinking about all the different influences of,

05:43:36.780 --> 05:43:39.020
like, just the feelings of walking around a city

05:43:39.020 --> 05:43:41.540
and feeling just happy and carefree,

05:43:42.500 --> 05:43:44.900
but also having a little bit of French influence in there, too.

05:43:44.900 --> 05:43:47.700
And all that comes from the people in my mental orchestra

05:43:47.700 --> 05:43:49.340
like kind of bumping around, talking to each other.

05:43:49.340 --> 05:43:50.500
Then something comes out.

05:43:50.500 --> 05:43:52.700
And then you have to have the technical ability

05:43:52.700 --> 05:43:56.060
to translate that into a actual piece of music

05:43:56.060 --> 05:43:57.660
and produce it and mix it and all that stuff.

05:43:57.660 --> 05:44:01.560
So there's a beautiful blend of the emotional inspiration

05:44:01.560 --> 05:44:04.000
and also the technical execution of making it.

05:44:04.000 --> 05:44:05.560
And that is what I love about music

05:44:05.560 --> 05:44:07.680
is that there's emotion and also math.

05:44:07.680 --> 05:44:09.140
Lots of math involved too.

05:44:09.140 --> 05:44:10.140
That's a really good shout.

05:44:10.140 --> 05:44:11.880
I think there are probably a lot of people

05:44:11.880 --> 05:44:14.680
who love music, who are watching an interview like this

05:44:14.680 --> 05:44:17.440
and being like, I want to be able to do that someday.

05:44:17.440 --> 05:44:20.240
Maybe young people who are like, what direction should I

05:44:20.240 --> 05:44:20.440
take?

05:44:20.440 --> 05:44:21.920
What education should I get?

05:44:21.920 --> 05:44:23.360
What kind of advice would you give someone

05:44:23.360 --> 05:44:25.880
who is aspiring to write music for Pokemon like you have?

05:44:25.880 --> 05:44:30.100
My advice is to pursue anything that makes you excited,

05:44:30.100 --> 05:44:31.260
regardless of what that is.

05:44:31.260 --> 05:44:33.960
Regardless of what the subject matter of your dream is.

05:44:33.960 --> 05:44:37.400
If it's making music, then learn everything you can

05:44:37.400 --> 05:44:38.720
about the music that makes you excited.

05:44:38.720 --> 05:44:40.720
That's the best thing you could possibly do.

05:44:40.720 --> 05:44:43.840
Because as human beings, you get excited for a reason.

05:44:43.840 --> 05:44:45.720
Everybody has a little, everybody's unique.

05:44:45.720 --> 05:44:47.160
Different things resonate with different people.

05:44:47.160 --> 05:44:49.000
And I think as long as you recognize

05:44:49.000 --> 05:44:50.000
that when you hear something like,

05:44:50.000 --> 05:44:52.840
oh, this is cool, I should learn about this,

05:44:52.840 --> 05:44:54.800
if you really dive into it,

05:44:54.800 --> 05:44:59.080
then you will learn more about yourself, you will learn more about...

05:44:59.080 --> 05:45:02.000
you will just connect with yourself as a better person.

05:45:02.000 --> 05:45:06.560
And your music and the art you create is a reflection of who you are as a person.

05:45:06.560 --> 05:45:07.560
I really believe that.

05:45:07.560 --> 05:45:10.760
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.

05:45:10.760 --> 05:45:14.280
Did I have anything more to say than that? Just like, do whatever makes you excited.

05:45:14.280 --> 05:45:17.760
That's what I've done, and I've ended up here somehow.

05:45:17.760 --> 05:45:23.400
Well, that kind of ties into what I want to ask, though, because you're explaining it in such a good way,

05:45:23.400 --> 05:45:25.240
because it does boil down to your passion

05:45:25.240 --> 05:45:27.200
and something that you're genuinely joyful about.

05:45:27.200 --> 05:45:30.520
So does that tie into your creative process?

05:45:30.520 --> 05:45:33.120
Like when you're sitting down knowing you have to create

05:45:33.120 --> 05:45:35.280
some sort of musical composition, a score here,

05:45:35.280 --> 05:45:38.000
for a video game that could potentially be something

05:45:38.000 --> 05:45:39.400
that's resonating with an audience

05:45:39.400 --> 05:45:41.840
for however many years to come.

05:45:41.840 --> 05:45:43.840
Do you have to play some of the old music

05:45:43.840 --> 05:45:45.360
to get yourself kind of hyped for it?

05:45:45.360 --> 05:45:47.560
Like what does that creative process look like for you?

05:45:47.560 --> 05:45:48.560
That's a great question.

05:45:48.560 --> 05:45:52.680
Well, so I'm well aware that when I've been tasked

05:45:52.680 --> 05:45:54.840
to write some work on me some of these songs for the Sandrax.

05:45:54.840 --> 05:45:58.680
I'm well aware of like a lot of people will listen to this.

05:45:58.680 --> 05:46:02.960
I'm aware of that fact, but I also don't think about that at all.

05:46:02.960 --> 05:46:06.960
I think about, I really think about making my inner child proud

05:46:06.960 --> 05:46:08.360
and making my inner child happy,

05:46:08.360 --> 05:46:11.400
because I am literally have been in the shoes

05:46:11.400 --> 05:46:13.080
of the people who are playing these games

05:46:13.080 --> 05:46:15.360
from the vast majority of my life.

05:46:15.360 --> 05:46:18.960
And that is my goal is just to make them feel

05:46:18.960 --> 05:46:21.120
what I would want to feel.

05:46:21.120 --> 05:46:25.440
As for the creative process part, it depends.

05:46:25.440 --> 05:46:27.080
Sometimes I'll get things like reference tracks

05:46:27.080 --> 05:46:30.160
where other people will send me, like, can you make a song

05:46:30.160 --> 05:46:32.200
that's kind of inspired by this kind of vibe?

05:46:32.200 --> 05:46:34.960
And sometimes I listen to them and sometimes I don't.

05:46:34.960 --> 05:46:38.400
Sometimes I'm just like, you sent me that?

05:46:38.400 --> 05:46:39.760
I have a better idea.

05:46:39.760 --> 05:46:40.920
I have a different idea.

05:46:40.920 --> 05:46:41.840
Let me do my thing.

05:46:41.840 --> 05:46:43.600
If you don't like it, let's go back.

05:46:43.600 --> 05:46:44.520
Let me cook a little bit.

05:46:44.520 --> 05:46:46.440
I'll do my own thing.

05:46:46.440 --> 05:46:48.440
So I do that approach sometimes.

05:46:48.440 --> 05:46:51.680
And then, the creative mind is so strange.

05:46:51.680 --> 05:46:55.040
Is that, and in that, when I create something,

05:46:56.200 --> 05:46:58.280
I believe that comes from the subconscious part

05:46:58.280 --> 05:46:59.120
of your mind.

05:46:59.120 --> 05:47:01.080
And that sometimes the best ideas come

05:47:01.080 --> 05:47:03.320
when I'm trying to fall asleep in bed,

05:47:03.320 --> 05:47:06.400
when the, I believe it's called the gamma brain waves.

05:47:06.400 --> 05:47:09.000
I can't believe I'm saying that phrase.

05:47:09.000 --> 05:47:12.240
The gamma brain waves are at their peak at that time.

05:47:12.240 --> 05:47:14.440
Some of it might be beta, I'm not sure.

05:47:14.440 --> 05:47:16.240
But it's like when all the creative juices are flowing

05:47:16.240 --> 05:47:17.400
and I can't fall asleep,

05:47:17.400 --> 05:47:21.560
And then suddenly, I'm like, oh, wait, I have to do it this way.

05:47:21.560 --> 05:47:22.320
I have to do it this way.

05:47:22.320 --> 05:47:24.420
So then I'll either get up, I'll go to the piano,

05:47:24.420 --> 05:47:25.740
and I'll play it, or I'll make a voice

05:47:25.740 --> 05:47:28.640
and I'll go to myself and say, OK, so this song,

05:47:28.640 --> 05:47:29.800
you're going to use them.

05:47:29.800 --> 05:47:30.960
Have the oboe lead here.

05:47:30.960 --> 05:47:31.860
You're going to double it in the octaves

05:47:31.860 --> 05:47:32.760
with the English horn, because you

05:47:32.760 --> 05:47:34.240
need to cut through the mix a little bit better.

05:47:34.240 --> 05:47:35.920
And make sure you've got this isn't B flat,

05:47:35.920 --> 05:47:37.640
but then the melody has to go up an octave

05:47:37.640 --> 05:47:38.600
in this one part.

05:47:38.600 --> 05:47:40.840
So stuff like that.

05:47:40.840 --> 05:47:43.760
It's because I've just spent so much, so many years,

05:47:43.760 --> 05:47:45.840
like I said before, pursuing the things I love

05:47:45.840 --> 05:47:47.640
and getting the technical understanding of that,

05:47:47.640 --> 05:47:50.400
that I can just do it and have fun

05:47:50.400 --> 05:47:54.280
and turn those spontaneous creative ideas

05:47:54.280 --> 05:47:57.160
into a fixed structure that ends up getting

05:47:57.160 --> 05:47:59.160
produced into a song, looped,

05:47:59.160 --> 05:48:01.600
and then put inside a video game.

05:48:01.600 --> 05:48:03.720
I have had the pleasure of actually running into you

05:48:03.720 --> 05:48:06.920
in kind of the musician circles around Pokemon

05:48:06.920 --> 05:48:09.600
and I think that's something I really loved observing here

05:48:09.600 --> 05:48:12.760
at Pokemon XP is how people of all creative types

05:48:12.760 --> 05:48:15.280
get to come hang out, meet up together.

05:48:15.280 --> 05:48:20.620
Tell us a little bit about the experience of hanging out with your community and your peers here at Pokemon XP. What's it been like?

05:48:20.620 --> 05:48:25.760
Oh my gosh, like it's just it's such an honor. I mean, like there's the there's the community of fans, right?

05:48:25.760 --> 05:48:32.580
Who have who have supported me and supported everything I've done over these years and I've been saying hi to fans for like at least an hour after every show

05:48:33.220 --> 05:48:35.340
Because without them I would not be here, right?

05:48:35.340 --> 05:48:42.200
Like music is about communicating a feeling to somebody else and without that somebody else you can make music for yourself

05:48:42.200 --> 05:48:44.260
But I'm trying to I'm trying to connect with others, you know

05:48:44.260 --> 05:48:49.540
But also, like you were mentioning, the other creators in the space, the other musicians,

05:48:49.540 --> 05:48:55.860
like, there are just so many great people and some of them, like, I met all the people

05:48:55.860 --> 05:49:01.020
in my band because of the online creators' base, and some of them have been inspired

05:49:01.020 --> 05:49:02.020
by Pokémon music.

05:49:02.020 --> 05:49:07.780
But it is just Pokémon is great because it inspires people to do cool things with

05:49:07.780 --> 05:49:11.580
their lives and some of that ends up being in music.

05:49:11.580 --> 05:49:13.620
And I'm just so lucky to know so many people.

05:49:13.620 --> 05:49:18.820
I've been on YouTube since like 2012, very long time.

05:49:18.820 --> 05:49:21.220
And my life has taken, you know, twist and turns since then.

05:49:21.220 --> 05:49:24.020
But I will never, ever forget where I've come from

05:49:24.020 --> 05:49:28.380
and all the people that I've associated with and grown

05:49:28.380 --> 05:49:30.180
with alongside over the years.

05:49:30.180 --> 05:49:33.980
Like I remember, I think Nate was on right before me.

05:49:33.980 --> 05:49:38.180
And I remember knowing who he was on YouTube

05:49:38.180 --> 05:49:42.060
quite a long time ago and developing my channel

05:49:42.060 --> 05:49:45.940
I'm at my presence like the same time he was our paths didn't cross for a very long time

05:49:45.940 --> 05:49:50.220
But I always knew who he was and was like he's doing good stuff. I respect that man, you know

05:49:50.220 --> 05:49:53.820
So it's just cool. It's seeing everybody grow and seeing the scene develop

05:49:53.820 --> 05:49:55.420
It is it's an honor to be a part of it

05:49:55.620 --> 05:49:58.700
We only have about a minute left and we haven't asked the question

05:49:59.980 --> 05:50:05.700
We have to ask them everyone. What is your favorite Pokemon and pulling on that was the fastest most sure

05:50:05.700 --> 05:50:10.540
I am a water steal type person. There's only one water steal Pokemon therefore. I must be in pulling on

05:50:10.540 --> 05:50:14.540
Wow, okay. That's such a strong answer, Anne.

05:50:14.540 --> 05:50:16.540
I had a plushie on my stage of a polion.

05:50:16.540 --> 05:50:19.540
Wow. Okay, you're very passionate about your favorite.

05:50:19.540 --> 05:50:23.540
We have some people that are like, oh, well, I think you're like, nope, this is the one, the best Pokemon.

05:50:23.540 --> 05:50:25.540
I love it. I love it, decisive.

05:50:25.540 --> 05:50:28.540
All right, well, we need to get over to another video,

05:50:28.540 --> 05:50:32.540
but before we do, where can people find you on the internet and also here at Pokemon X-Feed?

05:50:32.540 --> 05:50:36.540
Yeah, so unfortunately, my shows are all done, so you won't be able to see any more performances.

05:50:36.540 --> 05:50:40.220
But if you search either my name, Carlos, E-I-E-N-E, that's my last name,

05:50:40.220 --> 05:50:44.820
you need, or Insane in the Rain on just YouTube or Instagram or any social media platform,

05:50:44.820 --> 05:50:45.860
you'll probably find me.

05:50:45.860 --> 05:50:48.460
And I would love to have you hear some of my music.

05:50:48.460 --> 05:50:52.460
And also, you can play Pokemon Legends EA and hear some of the music I did in that game as well.

05:50:52.460 --> 05:50:53.020
Nice.

05:50:53.020 --> 05:50:54.700
Sounds very good. Thank you so much.

05:50:54.700 --> 05:50:57.820
And now let's take a look at the Pokecology booth.

05:51:06.540 --> 05:51:14.740
Down here on the Pokemon XP floor, we have so many exciting boots and things to look

05:51:14.740 --> 05:51:24.620
at and I'm stopping now at the Pokecology boot.

05:51:24.620 --> 05:51:28.580
This was one that I pushed aside the other hosts because I wanted to check this one out.

05:51:28.580 --> 05:51:32.740
I think Pokecology, the concept of it is so cool, but if you're not familiar, let

05:51:32.740 --> 05:51:35.180
me introduce you to what's going on here.

05:51:35.180 --> 05:51:39.820
Well, what Pokecology has done is it's an illustrated guide to the Pokemon Ecology

05:51:39.820 --> 05:51:45.180
that takes real world ideas and science about how the world works, the ecology,

05:51:45.180 --> 05:51:50.060
how the nature all work together to survive, and they've taken that scientific learning

05:51:50.060 --> 05:51:54.620
and applied it to Pokemon. So I want to show you some of the really cool dioramas that they

05:51:54.620 --> 05:52:00.220
made that showcase how Pokemon could theoretically live in the Pokemon world in harmony and

05:52:00.220 --> 05:52:04.140
in a way that makes that world make sense. This is one of my favorite ones right off the

05:52:04.140 --> 05:52:08.300
of that because first of all we're in the sky that beautiful cell of Stila not

05:52:08.300 --> 05:52:11.740
even from our planet as a fit into the ecology you're gonna have to pick up the

05:52:11.740 --> 05:52:16.140
poke ecology book to find out but this is not the only beautifully made diorama

05:52:16.140 --> 05:52:21.780
here we've also got the forest scene and I did hear some very interesting

05:52:21.780 --> 05:52:26.740
science about rebomb me but I need you guys to pick up this book because what's

05:52:26.740 --> 05:52:31.900
so cool is that they really take a loving look at all the Pokemon living

05:52:31.900 --> 05:52:35.000
together so if you really like to imagine yourself living in that world

05:52:35.000 --> 05:52:38.840
wondering how the Pokemon would interact where you would actually find them

05:52:38.840 --> 05:52:43.420
here's another great example this is an underwater scene and you'll see

05:52:43.420 --> 05:52:47.460
down lies is here we've got the hunt tail we've got so many Pokemon living in

05:52:47.460 --> 05:52:53.760
harmony just really helps me imagine myself there and I hope you all enjoy

05:52:53.760 --> 05:52:57.000
the book too maybe this is a great opportunity for a science lover in

05:52:57.000 --> 05:53:00.760
your life to get involved and find a love for Pokemon or maybe it's a

05:53:00.760 --> 05:53:05.120
a great opportunity for the Pokemon lovers in your life to develop a little love for

05:53:05.120 --> 05:53:06.120
science.

05:53:06.120 --> 05:53:08.600
But however you enjoy it, I do hope you check it out.

05:53:08.600 --> 05:53:09.960
I'm going to go take a little further look.

05:54:30.760 --> 05:54:39.700
Welcome back to Pokemon XP, coming to you live from Ray Quasarode here in San Francisco.

05:54:39.700 --> 05:54:40.700
I am Anna.

05:54:40.700 --> 05:54:45.200
I have Joshua and Rachel here with me on the desk and a new face that I'm so excited

05:54:45.200 --> 05:54:46.200
to introduce to you.

05:54:46.200 --> 05:54:48.200
Please tell the people at home who you are and what you do.

05:54:48.200 --> 05:54:49.200
Hello everybody.

05:54:49.200 --> 05:54:50.640
Wow, what a legendary desk here.

05:54:50.640 --> 05:54:53.320
But no, my name is Evan Hashimoto, Wonder Chef.

05:54:53.320 --> 05:54:55.720
I'm a caster for Pokemon Unite.

05:54:55.720 --> 05:55:00.040
So our game just got finished over at the arena and I'm over here to see what's

05:55:00.040 --> 05:55:01.960
going on and it's amazing out here.

05:55:01.960 --> 05:55:03.600
Have you not been over to Pokemon XP?

05:55:03.600 --> 05:55:05.720
Have you been locked away over in the arena?

05:55:05.720 --> 05:55:08.160
That is the, those are the exact words that I would use.

05:55:08.160 --> 05:55:10.400
Have been locked away, whether it's in the arena

05:55:10.400 --> 05:55:13.480
or downstairs, I mean, there's just so many buildings here,

05:55:13.480 --> 05:55:14.640
so many things to do.

05:55:14.640 --> 05:55:16.160
I usually, my friends are like,

05:55:16.160 --> 05:55:17.920
hey, what's awesome to do in worlds?

05:55:17.920 --> 05:55:18.760
What's really fun?

05:55:18.760 --> 05:55:20.160
And I'm like, I have no idea.

05:55:20.160 --> 05:55:22.760
There is way too much this year to be able to see.

05:55:22.760 --> 05:55:23.600
Oh, it's exciting.

05:55:23.600 --> 05:55:25.040
Evan, it's such a great opportunity

05:55:25.040 --> 05:55:25.880
to have you at the disc.

05:55:25.880 --> 05:55:27.200
You and I go way back.

05:55:27.200 --> 05:55:28.760
I have to say how talented you are

05:55:28.760 --> 05:55:33.640
to tell stories when it comes to Pokemon and to hear your voice yesterday during the matches

05:55:33.640 --> 05:55:37.040
when we were out here at Request the Road was pretty awesome. I'd love to dive deeper

05:55:37.040 --> 05:55:41.600
into your history with Pokemon and what really brought you out here to our first ever Pokemon

05:55:41.600 --> 05:55:42.600
XP event.

05:55:42.600 --> 05:55:46.760
Oh, I mean I've been a Pokemon player for so long. I mean literally my father gave

05:55:46.760 --> 05:55:51.560
me Pokemon Red and well Red and Blue for my brother of course so we of course argued

05:55:51.560 --> 05:55:55.200
about who got which one but you know back when it released it was a Christmas gift

05:55:55.200 --> 05:55:57.040
And it just started from there.

05:55:57.040 --> 05:55:59.240
So of course, played every single Pokemon game,

05:55:59.240 --> 05:56:01.680
eventually kind of, you know, being able to join

05:56:01.680 --> 05:56:03.760
and blend my voice to the circuit a little bit.

05:56:03.760 --> 05:56:07.320
I would say about, almost, it's getting close to 10 years now.

05:56:07.320 --> 05:56:09.160
Something like eight or nine years

05:56:09.160 --> 05:56:12.480
and been able to go to quite a few of the big worlds events.

05:56:12.480 --> 05:56:15.800
So I'm so excited that finally we get something cool

05:56:15.800 --> 05:56:18.640
like Pokemon XP, which is just such a completely

05:56:18.640 --> 05:56:21.040
like extra next, next, next level experience.

05:56:21.040 --> 05:56:22.080
Like like one step up, right?

05:56:22.080 --> 05:56:23.720
It's like three.

05:56:23.720 --> 05:56:25.720
What brought you into Pokemon Unite?

05:56:25.720 --> 05:56:30.420
Pokemon Unite, I just, I really do quite enjoy like action games.

05:56:30.420 --> 05:56:36.420
I mean honestly I enjoy every single Pokemon game, but just when it had come out, I felt like it was a,

05:56:36.420 --> 05:56:41.420
it was just kind of a good time for me to like play a new game and I saw it and saw the animations of all of the Pokemon

05:56:41.420 --> 05:56:46.420
and I think it's really fun to be able to watch a lot of Pokemon that you get to see in a lot of, you know,

05:56:46.420 --> 05:56:52.420
a lot of different media, whether it be shows or games or anything like that and kind of play out the battles in real time.

05:56:52.420 --> 05:56:57.860
It's a it's kind of a unique experience. So I quite enjoyed that and from day one. I was just I couldn't stop

05:56:58.300 --> 05:57:01.620
Yeah, it's been so wonderful having your voice covering Pokemon Unite

05:57:01.620 --> 05:57:08.220
I really enjoyed the competitors so good and I would like to welcome you over to HP by offering you a plushie to hold

05:57:14.060 --> 05:57:22.380
And I do want to ask what do you enjoy within Pokemon outside of Unite currently because you talk about

05:57:22.420 --> 05:57:26.220
the Game Boy game, you soon have a knowledge prep and depth of all things Pokemon.

05:57:27.020 --> 05:57:29.320
I am, I think what they call a little bit of a nerd.

05:57:30.220 --> 05:57:31.020
So interesting.

05:57:31.020 --> 05:57:34.920
Yes, yes, like I said, amazing group who here that I get to join, I'm so lucky.

05:57:35.420 --> 05:57:39.620
But I mean, honestly, kind of everything, you know, that's the thing about it is

05:57:39.620 --> 05:57:43.520
that it's a it's like a hobby that you can enjoy in so many different ways, right?

05:57:43.520 --> 05:57:49.120
Even within kind of like each little subgenre of the hobby, different people will enjoy it

05:57:49.120 --> 05:57:50.320
in different ways within that itself.

05:57:50.320 --> 05:57:55.500
So even within Unite some people will really enjoy like playing the Pokemon that they're like their favorite cute Pokemon

05:57:55.500 --> 05:57:57.000
And some people will be very competitive

05:57:57.000 --> 05:58:01.940
But it's the same thing with everything you know, but if you're playing the trading card game you can you can collect or you can play

05:58:01.940 --> 05:58:07.840
There's just so many different things. So I am kind of spread maybe a little two-thing, you know, and I should probably

05:58:08.180 --> 05:58:11.760
not be spending quite as much money on every single thing out here, but

05:58:12.640 --> 05:58:17.200
Currently yeah, I would say kind of just a little bit of everything and just experiencing Pokemon

05:58:17.200 --> 05:58:18.900
You know, it's always fun for everybody.

05:58:18.900 --> 05:58:21.700
Well, there is definitely plenty to experience here at Pokemon XP.

05:58:21.700 --> 05:58:25.600
And I know you have been locked away to commentate over the competitive side.

05:58:25.600 --> 05:58:28.500
But just by walking through maybe your first or second time,

05:58:28.500 --> 05:58:31.500
has there anything that's really impressed you or something that's still on the list

05:58:31.500 --> 05:58:34.400
that you want to get to before day three ends?

05:58:34.400 --> 05:58:37.700
Yes, kind of a lot of things actually.

05:58:37.700 --> 05:58:41.500
Of course, there were a lot of things that were going on downstairs that I saw.

05:58:41.500 --> 05:58:44.800
There was the Lego statues that were so cool.

05:58:44.800 --> 05:58:46.700
I've been trying to get a photo of that for so long.

05:58:46.700 --> 05:58:51.660
I've only had a few chances to play the Pokemon pinball game and that is very very cool

05:58:51.660 --> 05:58:56.820
I know one of my good friends is like really into pinball and he's been trying to get down there the entire weekend

05:58:57.180 --> 05:59:01.860
But really it's just kind of the spectacle of everything right because some things are somewhat

05:59:02.100 --> 05:59:05.840
You can kind of experience them in other places, but I mean things like this back here

05:59:05.840 --> 05:59:11.060
It's never been seen before and so even if I didn't really get to like experience anything

05:59:11.060 --> 05:59:14.120
individually like just being out here and just seeing what everybody's doing it's

05:59:14.120 --> 05:59:19.440
a one-of-a-kind experience. Yeah I think we have some some dancing and music.

05:59:19.440 --> 05:59:24.320
We have all sorts of things going on out here on Raycrazor Road.

05:59:24.320 --> 05:59:29.200
You are so good at being an aerator especially for high octane moments in the competitive scene.

05:59:29.200 --> 05:59:33.800
I'd love to dive a little bit deeper into what really got you into the scene of being a

05:59:33.800 --> 05:59:38.120
presenter, being on camera to tell the world about what's happening on screen

05:59:38.120 --> 05:59:40.960
because for a lot of people maybe they don't know the game that well but

05:59:40.960 --> 05:59:44.340
You're able to tell not only what's happening in the gameplay, but the stories behind the

05:59:44.340 --> 05:59:46.380
players and what brings them to these events.

05:59:46.380 --> 05:59:49.280
Right, so, you know, of course, like I said, a little bit of a nerd playing a lot of different

05:59:49.280 --> 05:59:54.720
games, and so I started myself being a player for a lot of different types of games, and

05:59:54.720 --> 05:59:58.120
it really, you know, affected my life for the better.

05:59:58.120 --> 06:00:01.000
You know, I think that's a really common thing for a lot of people.

06:00:01.000 --> 06:00:04.160
I just got to hear, you know, and say in the ring, a ridiculous person to follow

06:00:04.160 --> 06:00:07.400
up talking about how his passion, you know, really, of course, obviously has

06:00:07.400 --> 06:00:08.880
driven his life to an awesome place.

06:00:08.880 --> 06:00:11.440
And it's the same for so many different people.

06:00:11.440 --> 06:00:14.840
So once I got kind of that positive experience,

06:00:14.840 --> 06:00:16.520
I realized that there's so many other people out there

06:00:16.520 --> 06:00:20.320
that also they use competition as a way to kind of,

06:00:20.320 --> 06:00:22.280
you know, like build themselves up as people

06:00:22.280 --> 06:00:24.880
and to experience Pokemon and just the things they love

06:00:24.880 --> 06:00:26.160
and to meet new people.

06:00:26.160 --> 06:00:28.200
And I was like, this is really cool

06:00:28.200 --> 06:00:30.000
to be able to talk about this

06:00:30.000 --> 06:00:34.000
and kind of be a voice for their kind of path upwards

06:00:34.000 --> 06:00:35.600
as well, which is something that I experienced

06:00:35.600 --> 06:00:36.440
that was important to me.

06:00:36.440 --> 06:00:37.680
I know it'll be important to them.

06:00:37.680 --> 06:00:53.680
And I would love for them to have a good experience, you know, like being able to look back on it and being like, oh, look at this, this was the stream and they were talking about us playing and even if we only got to go to one event this year, like they talked so nice about us, you know, so hopefully that's my goal always for every single time.

06:00:53.680 --> 06:00:57.680
And if I could make, you know, even one person get that experience, I'm happy.

06:00:57.680 --> 06:01:00.120
about the competitive side.

06:01:00.120 --> 06:01:02.120
You know, we have lots to talk about over here

06:01:02.120 --> 06:01:04.240
at Pokemon XP, but what's the quick summary

06:01:04.240 --> 06:01:06.360
of how it went with Pokemon Unite?

06:01:06.360 --> 06:01:07.640
Who came out on top?

06:01:07.640 --> 06:01:10.800
What was the highlights of the matches?

06:01:10.800 --> 06:01:13.200
Yeah, I mean, great storylines.

06:01:13.200 --> 06:01:18.040
We had of, so this is the final Pokemon Worlds

06:01:18.040 --> 06:01:20.880
for Unite, and our teams actually were a team

06:01:20.880 --> 06:01:22.720
of players that were the second place team

06:01:22.720 --> 06:01:25.400
in the very first Worlds of Unite back in 2022,

06:01:25.400 --> 06:01:29.880
And then the second place team in the last year of Pokemon Unite in 2025.

06:01:29.880 --> 06:01:36.580
And so it's two teams that were so close to winning and they had to face each other in the finals to see which ones have got their redemption arc.

06:01:36.580 --> 06:01:41.680
And it was a team called Zed out of Japan who the Japanese fans are amazing.

06:01:41.680 --> 06:01:46.480
I mean all of the fans from all over the place are amazing but Japan has their own commentators there as well.

06:01:46.480 --> 06:01:51.600
And it was really fun to see all the fans and they did manage to get their World Championship win for Japan.

06:01:51.600 --> 06:01:54.480
And it was just a very emotional time over there in the arena.

06:01:54.480 --> 06:02:13.480
That's so cool. It's been a very emotional time thinking about the last Unite at Worlds because I have to say the casting team for Unite, you guys are iconic, you have created such an aura around you and you have time to do a special address with everyone, but kind of like where are the vibes and feelings at with the rest of the group?

06:02:13.480 --> 06:02:19.480
You know, it's always tough to see a game go, but it was a perfect send-off.

06:02:19.480 --> 06:02:26.480
Back a few years, I also was commentary for a poking tournament, which was another game that was on the circuit.

06:02:26.480 --> 06:02:30.480
I have a little bit of a bad luck streak with that, I think, but we got to the same thing with both those games,

06:02:30.480 --> 06:02:35.480
which is the final tournament is such an amazing story, such an amazing experience for everybody.

06:02:35.480 --> 06:02:38.480
I mean, everybody who got to come out to this, obviously they got to see XP,

06:02:38.480 --> 06:02:44.560
They got to see this just ridiculous experience and the storylines were perfect the matches were great

06:02:44.560 --> 06:02:50.120
So there's a bittersweet sadness, but it was the I don't think anybody could have asked for a better set

06:02:50.840 --> 06:02:55.080
Tell us a little bit about the community you've built there. I know that you and the other commentators are close

06:02:55.080 --> 06:02:58.720
There's a lot of friendships that grow up through both, you know

06:02:58.720 --> 06:03:04.120
The production side and the community side of games tell us about that. Oh, there's so many

06:03:04.120 --> 06:03:11.620
It's truly amazing. When you get to see especially a community like that started from the very beginning.

06:03:11.620 --> 06:03:18.120
Pokemon Unite is not that old of a game. It's only been about five or six years since it began.

06:03:18.120 --> 06:03:23.620
Seeing how the community starts and all the people that meet.

06:03:23.620 --> 06:03:31.120
The biggest thing for me, as I mentioned before, is it became such an international community.

06:03:31.120 --> 06:03:37.120
So I've gained a lot of friends from Brazil and a lot of friends from Japan.

06:03:37.120 --> 06:03:41.120
Honestly, a lot of friends that I don't even speak the same language as, but we kind of...

06:03:41.120 --> 06:03:44.120
I mean, everybody speaks the universal language of Pokemon, right?

06:03:44.120 --> 06:03:47.120
Truly, you can go anywhere in the world and you're like,

06:03:47.120 --> 06:03:52.120
well, you see Pikachu and somebody else sees the Pikachu and you're both like, yeah, we're fans, right?

06:03:52.120 --> 06:03:57.120
So it's truly awesome. I have had friends for like five years that, again, we don't speak the same language.

06:03:57.120 --> 06:04:01.200
same language we just kind of like hugged into it just together in the arena and

06:04:01.200 --> 06:04:05.480
it's been like like the community really grew together and certainly they're not

06:04:05.480 --> 06:04:07.920
something that's gonna even though it's not gonna be on the World Championship

06:04:07.920 --> 06:04:12.120
series anymore they're not gonna like you know just separate directions or

06:04:12.120 --> 06:04:16.600
anything like that it's great it's changed a lot of people's lives and

06:04:16.600 --> 06:04:19.640
I mean trust me you go online there's a lot of emotions left to people

06:04:19.640 --> 06:04:23.720
talking about it but but again we're all very happy still still very happy

06:04:23.720 --> 06:04:28.320
You mentioned Pokken Tournament, you know, we talked about the end of the night.

06:04:28.320 --> 06:04:32.520
Pokémon is such a long-running universe that we've all shared in.

06:04:32.520 --> 06:04:34.520
I feel like it is a universe of chapters.

06:04:34.520 --> 06:04:38.520
And every time you close a chapter, you feel like, well, there's another one to start

06:04:38.520 --> 06:04:40.520
and then a whole new world to explore.

06:04:40.520 --> 06:04:45.320
So looking into Pokémon, are you seeing anything else that you want to dive deeper in now

06:04:45.320 --> 06:04:46.520
that you have a little more time?

06:04:46.520 --> 06:04:51.120
Unfortunately, everything, like I said, I think I just really like Pokémon a little bit too much.

06:04:51.120 --> 06:04:57.120
But I think everybody within like a several mile radius here does, and that's why we're here at Pokemon World's RxV.

06:04:57.120 --> 06:05:04.620
So, I don't know if there's anything in particular, but I mean obviously I'm always going to be with Pokemon.

06:05:04.620 --> 06:05:10.620
Like some form of Pokemon in my life, it's just kind of whatever, you know, as far as my fancy next.

06:05:10.620 --> 06:05:17.120
I mean, Champions I've been playing for a while now, and that's really fun, and Pocket, you know, came out not that long ago still.

06:05:17.120 --> 06:05:21.600
It's just, I don't know, there's so many games, too many, I'm overwhelmed!

06:05:21.600 --> 06:05:25.800
Well, another leader, we're gonna be taking a look at the arena, especially during the closing ceremonies.

06:05:25.800 --> 06:05:28.100
What's it like to be in the arena?

06:05:28.100 --> 06:05:33.720
It's unbelievable, so for anybody out there who, you know, has to be able to follow a world specifically,

06:05:33.720 --> 06:05:36.020
there's only our second year ever in an arena.

06:05:36.020 --> 06:05:41.220
Last year in Anaheim was our first one, and we were at the Anaheim Convention Center, and that is a great arena,

06:05:41.220 --> 06:05:44.920
but the Chase Center arena is unbelievable.

06:05:44.920 --> 06:05:50.760
I mean it is like nothing I've ever done a show in just gigantic. There are led

06:05:50.760 --> 06:05:53.760
There's an LED floor there LED panels all over the place the

06:05:54.080 --> 06:05:58.200
Everybody has bracelets in there that kind of shine with the colors of what's happening when the game

06:05:59.200 --> 06:06:06.880
Remotely, it's it's truly a spectacle just the giant screens of course all the amazing talent out there that are each doing their own

06:06:06.960 --> 06:06:13.960
Individual game. I think we're probably currently somewhere in DCG. I would have to guess but the games are you of course running all day

06:06:13.960 --> 06:06:20.640
The, it truly is, even for me who's been going to Worlds for so many years, it is an

06:06:20.640 --> 06:06:23.840
unbelievable, like, step up.

06:06:23.840 --> 06:06:29.480
It is so gigantic and I know a few of us of course have been to other Worlds and it's

06:06:29.480 --> 06:06:31.640
just so cool to see the growth of it.

06:06:31.640 --> 06:06:32.880
I can't even describe it.

06:06:32.880 --> 06:06:34.880
I'm trying, it's the heart.

06:06:34.880 --> 06:06:39.520
Speaking of the arena, just real quick, any little things you want to say about closing

06:06:39.520 --> 06:06:44.140
ceremony either telling people what it's like or things you hope might happen during closing

06:06:44.140 --> 06:06:45.140
ceremony?

06:06:45.140 --> 06:06:48.300
I'm not sure.

06:06:48.300 --> 06:06:49.980
There are some for Pokemon Unite.

06:06:49.980 --> 06:06:52.180
We actually got to make our announcement already.

06:06:52.180 --> 06:06:56.940
We are going to be getting more Pekko, Toxtricity, and then we're actually getting the final

06:06:56.940 --> 06:07:02.620
evolutions of Pokemon Unite which is going to be Flareon and Cholteon, sorry, for Pokemon.

06:07:02.620 --> 06:07:05.060
So that was really exciting for us.

06:07:05.060 --> 06:07:09.820
ceremony. Obviously I'm always really excited to see where the next location is, right? I've

06:07:09.820 --> 06:07:14.960
been able to go to Japan for Worlds, I've been able to go to Hawaii and London and of

06:07:14.960 --> 06:07:19.520
course I'm myself and from California so I have enjoyed the close trips to these most

06:07:19.520 --> 06:07:23.860
recent ones but I'll always just I gotta see what's coming next, right? Because it's

06:07:23.860 --> 06:07:27.840
so cool to have this in any big location but I know there's gonna be something

06:07:27.840 --> 06:07:31.340
surprising and with how many new things there are I feel like I'm giving a lot

06:07:31.340 --> 06:07:33.340
I can't even guess, you know?

06:07:33.340 --> 06:07:36.340
Everything is so big, it's hard to narrow down the talk of that.

06:07:36.340 --> 06:07:38.340
Pokemon is massive.

06:07:38.340 --> 06:07:41.340
Well, we have lots more to see at Pokemon XP,

06:07:41.340 --> 06:07:43.340
but in case people want to follow along with you,

06:07:43.340 --> 06:07:45.340
where can they find you on the internet?

06:07:45.340 --> 06:07:48.340
Currently, I'm pretty much just water chef cooks everywhere.

06:07:48.340 --> 06:07:51.340
I'm just going to be there for a while.

06:07:51.340 --> 06:07:54.340
Of course, you know, I'm not going to be doing that for just a little bit now,

06:07:54.340 --> 06:07:56.340
but I'm going to still be around for your night.

06:07:56.340 --> 06:07:58.340
But yeah, that's pretty fun.

06:07:58.340 --> 06:08:00.340
And real quick, favorite Pokemon?

06:08:00.340 --> 06:08:01.760
They are Pokemon Cramorans.

06:08:01.760 --> 06:08:02.760
Cramorans!

06:08:02.760 --> 06:08:03.760
The Strikantikus!

06:08:03.760 --> 06:08:04.760
The new one.

06:08:04.760 --> 06:08:05.760
Easy, yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:08:05.760 --> 06:08:07.260
You swear Cramorans are cool.

06:08:07.260 --> 06:08:08.260
You talk about liking Cramorans.

06:08:08.260 --> 06:08:09.260
Okay, that was just me.

06:08:09.260 --> 06:08:10.260
We haven't had a favorite Cramorans in a decade.

06:08:10.260 --> 06:08:15.260
We haven't had a single duplicate of favorites of Pokemon yet, so.

06:08:15.260 --> 06:08:16.260
That's the thing.

06:08:16.260 --> 06:08:18.780
Every Pokemon is somebody's favorite Pokemon, right?

06:08:18.780 --> 06:08:19.780
Yep, absolutely.

06:08:19.780 --> 06:08:23.460
Alright, we have the 30 years of Pokemon exhibit coming up next.

06:08:23.460 --> 06:08:26.860
Thank you so much for coming to spend your time with us and let's check that

06:08:26.860 --> 06:08:27.860
out right now.

06:08:27.860 --> 06:08:41.060
Welcome to the 30 years of Pokemon Museum.

06:08:41.060 --> 06:08:45.920
This was one of the booths that I was most excited to get to because I have been present

06:08:45.920 --> 06:08:51.740
for all 30 years of Pokemon's history and I have been an extremely passionate fan.

06:08:51.740 --> 06:08:57.100
Even when it was only available in Japanese, things just started coming out.

06:08:57.100 --> 06:09:03.440
We heard rumors of Pokemon Green and Pokemon Red and here they have an extra large Game

06:09:03.440 --> 06:09:06.180
Boy photo op experience.

06:09:06.180 --> 06:09:12.000
Man, that takes me back but we have not yet begun to reminisce.

06:09:12.000 --> 06:09:15.040
Right over here we have the very beginning of the Pokemon timeline.

06:09:15.040 --> 06:09:20.240
In 1996 was when the first games came out in Japan and shortly after we got them in

06:09:20.240 --> 06:09:24.940
the US in 1998.

06:09:24.940 --> 06:09:29.020
Snap was one of the most influential games on my psyche.

06:09:29.020 --> 06:09:31.620
The very first movie, when that came out in theaters,

06:09:31.620 --> 06:09:32.820
they give us the promo cards.

06:09:32.820 --> 06:09:35.580
My parents were so kind to get us there very early.

06:09:35.580 --> 06:09:39.700
And I'll never forget how excited that theater was

06:09:39.700 --> 06:09:41.260
to watch every moment of that movie.

06:09:41.260 --> 06:09:42.580
We were locked in.

06:09:42.580 --> 06:09:44.380
And there's all those old promo cards there.

06:09:44.380 --> 06:09:46.940
Absolutely incredible to see them all in display.

06:09:48.980 --> 06:09:50.980
Now, of course, Pokemon got bigger and bigger.

06:09:50.980 --> 06:09:52.540
One of my favorite movies from Pokemon

06:09:52.540 --> 06:09:57.040
was Pokemon the movie 2000 featuring Lugia and the legendary birds Articuno Zapdos and

06:09:57.040 --> 06:10:04.760
Maltras and that movie that music has reverberated throughout my life but we go on because every

06:10:04.760 --> 06:10:09.480
year here was an important year for me too and an important year for Pokemon.

06:10:09.480 --> 06:10:12.520
Pokemon Forever and Heroes the movies came out and gave us so much.

06:10:12.520 --> 06:10:16.920
We got Ruby and Sapphire Pokemon pinball made Pokemon a game that you could pick

06:10:16.920 --> 06:10:21.720
up and put down in just a couple of minutes as opposed to playing a whole long RPG story.

06:10:21.720 --> 06:10:25.560
Then we got the games on our Nintendo GameCube.

06:10:25.560 --> 06:10:31.280
Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD, Gale of Darkness are massively influential games.

06:10:31.280 --> 06:10:35.120
And we've seen just a little bit of engagement with them recently, so I do hope we get to

06:10:35.120 --> 06:10:37.560
take another look at them in modern times.

06:10:37.560 --> 06:10:39.200
Well, come with me.

06:10:39.200 --> 06:10:40.520
It doesn't stop there.

06:10:40.520 --> 06:10:45.760
The years ago on 2006 was when we saw the games start to come out on the Wii.

06:10:45.760 --> 06:10:48.600
We got Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

06:10:48.600 --> 06:10:49.600
Fun fact.

06:10:49.600 --> 06:10:51.120
It wasn't a store.

06:10:51.120 --> 06:10:53.640
asked me what I wanted I picked this up I showed it to them they said I'm not

06:10:53.640 --> 06:10:59.520
buying you that and I burst into tears that person married me and that movie he

06:10:59.520 --> 06:11:05.280
bought it for me an incredible look back these are the world championship this

06:11:05.280 --> 06:11:09.120
is the DS like world championship edition

06:11:11.800 --> 06:11:16.680
Pokemon Arceus jewel of life an incredible movie all the movies were

06:11:16.680 --> 06:11:24.360
great. All the games were great. All the art is great on the DS's. And it just gets better

06:11:24.360 --> 06:11:29.440
and better as time goes on. You can see they keep coming out with Pokemon games as they

06:11:29.440 --> 06:11:33.560
try and change the story to adapt, to try to bring in new elements and to connect to

06:11:33.560 --> 06:11:37.560
new audiences. We get all the way to Pokemon Sun and Moon, which starts to change things

06:11:37.560 --> 06:11:41.440
up. Usually you play for the Pokemon League. You collect gym badges, but we saw things

06:11:41.440 --> 06:11:46.240
change up a lot in Pokemon Sun and Moon and we got some new movies as well with

06:11:46.240 --> 06:11:51.760
Volcarona and Hoopa Clash of the Ages. This is starting to get familiar for some

06:11:51.760 --> 06:11:55.960
of you I think but I'm sure once I round this wall you'll really start to

06:11:55.960 --> 06:12:00.200
recognize a lot especially right off the jump we've got Let's Go Eevee and

06:12:00.200 --> 06:12:04.320
Let's Go Pikachu which took a reimagining of the original 151 Kanto

06:12:04.320 --> 06:12:09.040
story and gave it to a whole new generation. We also got Detective

06:12:09.040 --> 06:12:14.720
Pikachu on 3DS, which was poised to become, we didn't know yet, one of the greatest movies

06:12:14.720 --> 06:12:19.480
ever made when they finally came out with Pokemon Detective Pikachu.

06:12:19.480 --> 06:12:24.000
That was an incredible theater experience as well, watching it with live action actors

06:12:24.000 --> 06:12:27.920
and Pokemon generated in the same scene.

06:12:27.920 --> 06:12:30.560
That's where I want to go live, but I can't.

06:12:30.560 --> 06:12:33.600
So I'm going to live here, at least for the next day and a half until they kick

06:12:33.600 --> 06:12:34.600
me out.

06:12:34.600 --> 06:12:38.200
Now, moving on.

06:12:38.200 --> 06:12:40.960
I want to say you're welcome for this one.

06:12:40.960 --> 06:12:42.760
That's New Pokemon Snap.

06:12:42.760 --> 06:12:44.320
Ever since the first Pokemon Snap,

06:12:44.320 --> 06:12:46.320
I begged and pleaded with Nintendo.

06:12:46.320 --> 06:12:48.040
Every game convention I could,

06:12:48.040 --> 06:12:49.240
every time I got on broadcast,

06:12:49.240 --> 06:12:52.080
I said, please give me a new Pokemon Snap.

06:12:52.080 --> 06:12:54.720
And now finally in 2021,

06:12:54.720 --> 06:12:56.160
when we were all stuck

06:12:56.160 --> 06:12:58.360
in a little bit of an unhappy place in the world,

06:12:58.360 --> 06:13:01.640
Pokemon gave us that beautiful sparkle of joy.

06:13:01.640 --> 06:13:02.800
And it never stopped.

06:13:02.800 --> 06:13:04.600
There's so many great games here.

06:13:04.600 --> 06:13:06.480
And I know the wall ends,

06:13:06.480 --> 06:13:10.280
but the story continues inside the museum as well.

06:13:10.280 --> 06:13:12.000
That was just the timeline,

06:13:12.000 --> 06:13:14.680
but we've got a collection of all the sitting cuties.

06:13:14.680 --> 06:13:16.880
We've got a huge wall of cards to get through.

06:13:16.880 --> 06:13:21.780
We've got promotions from the dawn of Poké time.

06:13:36.480 --> 06:13:56.240
Welcome back to Pokemon XP, coming to you live from Rayquaza Road here in San Francisco.

06:13:56.240 --> 06:14:00.880
I am Anna here with Joshua and Rachel who was nerding out in that museum.

06:14:00.880 --> 06:14:05.560
I want to go there so bad, they put up like glass up and I feel like I was personally

06:14:05.560 --> 06:14:09.280
attacked by the glass. That's really unfair. Let's take it up with someone but

06:14:09.280 --> 06:14:12.940
after this interview because we have a new guest here with us so excited to

06:14:12.940 --> 06:14:16.120
chat with you could you introduce yourself to the people at home? Hi everyone

06:14:16.120 --> 06:14:21.260
I'm Rebbe Hardy here from Queens New York so excited to be at Pokemon World XP.

06:14:21.260 --> 06:14:25.840
And what is it that you do? How might people know you? I'm a streamer I also

06:14:25.840 --> 06:14:31.300
do online content and I fancy myself a competitive TCG player. Oh you fancy

06:14:31.300 --> 06:14:34.480
yourself? I mean that sounds like you just are a competitive TCG player.

06:14:34.480 --> 06:14:35.920
We'll go with that.

06:14:35.920 --> 06:14:36.920
Yeah.

06:14:36.920 --> 06:14:37.920
Locked in.

06:14:37.920 --> 06:14:39.440
What first got you into Pokemon?

06:14:39.440 --> 06:14:41.560
We're here celebrating 30 years of Pokemon.

06:14:41.560 --> 06:14:44.280
Pokemon XB has been an exceptional experience for a lot of different people, but also that

06:14:44.280 --> 06:14:47.160
kind of individual connection that people have.

06:14:47.160 --> 06:14:51.080
So we'd love to learn more about what is about Pokemon that you love so much.

06:14:51.080 --> 06:14:52.080
Absolutely, yeah.

06:14:52.080 --> 06:14:57.280
I was a fan since the time I was about 13, the first huge wave of Pokemon, and then

06:14:57.280 --> 06:15:01.640
fell out of it a bit, but went into it hard again when my kids came of age.

06:15:01.640 --> 06:15:05.540
So now we get to experience that together and it's something we can bond over and travel.

06:15:05.540 --> 06:15:08.240
We do regionals and everything together so it's a lot of fun.

06:15:08.240 --> 06:15:09.440
Do they all compete as well?

06:15:09.440 --> 06:15:10.440
Yes.

06:15:10.440 --> 06:15:11.440
How do they do?

06:15:11.440 --> 06:15:12.440
He's great.

06:15:12.440 --> 06:15:13.440
He's behind me.

06:15:13.440 --> 06:15:14.440
He's behind me now.

06:15:14.440 --> 06:15:15.440
That is so awesome.

06:15:15.440 --> 06:15:19.040
And we had a long list of accomplishments that Pokemon might know you for.

06:15:19.040 --> 06:15:22.360
The Pokemon community might also know you as a fantastic dresser.

06:15:22.360 --> 06:15:23.960
We've got the Pokeball glasses.

06:15:23.960 --> 06:15:24.960
We've got the pants.

06:15:24.960 --> 06:15:27.840
We've got the Crusted Necklace there with the Master Ball.

06:15:27.840 --> 06:15:29.840
I just got to shout out a good look when I see it.

06:15:29.840 --> 06:15:30.840
Oh, thank you so much.

06:15:30.840 --> 06:15:32.520
You have a lot of Pokemon fashion?

06:15:32.520 --> 06:15:33.760
I do have a ton.

06:15:33.760 --> 06:15:39.880
I love this new wave of brand crossover with just everywhere.

06:15:39.880 --> 06:15:42.560
It's so mainstream now, so I'm no longer the odd man out.

06:15:42.560 --> 06:15:44.960
It's cool to be a Pokemon fan again.

06:15:44.960 --> 06:15:48.000
And I'm happy to have been there when it wasn't cool.

06:15:48.000 --> 06:15:50.080
And I'm actually happy to be here now that it is.

06:15:50.080 --> 06:15:51.200
Yeah, now you have the street cred.

06:15:51.200 --> 06:15:52.600
Yeah, right?

06:15:52.600 --> 06:15:54.560
Something that keeps coming up here on the desk

06:15:54.560 --> 06:15:58.400
is that some of us have gotten the idea growing up,

06:15:58.400 --> 06:16:00.040
but maybe you just have to be one thing.

06:16:00.040 --> 06:16:05.200
You're either like a video gamer or you are someone who likes the anime or things like that

06:16:05.200 --> 06:16:09.180
You're just talking about how you compete in TCG. You love Pokemon fashion

06:16:09.180 --> 06:16:12.320
There's all sorts of other ways you might express yourself in Pokemon

06:16:12.320 --> 06:16:18.540
Can you tell us a little bit about how that feels here at Pokemon XP and and whether you see that kind of becoming something that?

06:16:18.540 --> 06:16:20.540
Everyone is celebrating. I love that. Yeah

06:16:20.540 --> 06:16:25.280
I mean what's really cool about being here right now is that San Francisco has evolved into like a

06:16:25.280 --> 06:16:31.280
a region of the Pokemon universe and everywhere you look here someone is celebrating it in one way or another.

06:16:31.280 --> 06:16:36.280
I competed yesterday in the Sisterhood League which was really great for female and non-binary players

06:16:36.280 --> 06:16:42.280
and it's just great to like see people and connect and have something that you can bond over and that camaraderie.

06:16:42.280 --> 06:16:47.280
It's really cool and I think the duality in people, you know, sometimes you might think about Pokemon

06:16:47.280 --> 06:16:51.280
and you think oh it's one type of fan, it's one type of person, but it really isn't

06:16:51.280 --> 06:16:54.320
and Pokemon is for everyone, all ages, all genders,

06:16:54.320 --> 06:16:55.200
all expressions.

06:16:55.200 --> 06:16:56.800
Yeah, that's absolutely true.

06:16:56.800 --> 06:16:59.800
Tell us a little bit about how that came to be.

06:16:59.800 --> 06:17:01.400
I've never heard of the Sisterhood League.

06:17:01.400 --> 06:17:02.720
Can you tell us a little bit about that?

06:17:02.720 --> 06:17:05.440
Yeah, it's just celebrating all female

06:17:05.440 --> 06:17:08.480
and non-binary players, just carving out

06:17:08.480 --> 06:17:11.920
a little space specifically for us to feel welcome

06:17:11.920 --> 06:17:14.760
and to kind of have that bond and cheer each other on.

06:17:14.760 --> 06:17:17.520
And also, I might add, we have the best setups,

06:17:17.520 --> 06:17:19.520
the best play mats, the best views.

06:17:19.520 --> 06:17:24.000
point everything is always very fashionable. I mean as a fashion I believe you. Your taste is clear.

06:17:25.920 --> 06:17:29.440
Did you happen to catch the Jimmy Paul fashion show? Any thoughts on the styles we saw?

06:17:29.440 --> 06:17:36.720
I did. That was so cool. Mr. Mime terrifies me to be honest, but he even got me interested in it.

06:17:36.720 --> 06:17:40.880
Right. I was like, that was great. It was a good fit.

06:17:40.880 --> 06:17:44.400
I'm still trying to get that Mewtwo jacket. That was my goal by the end of day three.

06:17:44.400 --> 06:17:48.400
So awesome. And it was such a great time to interview Jimmy Paul and to feel as Anna was

06:17:48.400 --> 06:17:50.340
was saying and kind of a theme of like you don't have to be

06:17:50.340 --> 06:17:52.000
siloed into just one thing.

06:17:52.000 --> 06:17:55.160
And for us at Pokemon XP, we're able to experience and enjoy

06:17:55.160 --> 06:17:57.120
all the different creativity that people have,

06:17:57.120 --> 06:17:58.160
the different talents that they have,

06:17:58.160 --> 06:18:00.480
and how it's expressed in the world of Pokemon.

06:18:00.480 --> 06:18:02.280
And one of those things is cosplay.

06:18:02.280 --> 06:18:04.320
And I believe we have a cosplay showcase happening

06:18:04.320 --> 06:18:05.400
a little bit later.

06:18:05.400 --> 06:18:07.560
So you tell us, well, we're gonna see a number

06:18:07.560 --> 06:18:09.280
of different cosplayers around here.

06:18:09.280 --> 06:18:11.520
So what's been like seeing a lot of different cosplay

06:18:11.520 --> 06:18:12.440
here at the event?

06:18:12.440 --> 06:18:14.760
I am so excited for the cosplay showcase.

06:18:14.760 --> 06:18:16.480
Last year was absolutely amazing.

06:18:16.480 --> 06:18:18.080
I swear, some of the things that I saw

06:18:18.080 --> 06:18:19.680
innovated on the stage last year,

06:18:19.680 --> 06:18:22.040
I saw at different global stages

06:18:22.040 --> 06:18:24.640
at different cons around the world afterwards.

06:18:24.640 --> 06:18:29.080
I really hope to see maybe some of the Pokemon's attacks

06:18:29.080 --> 06:18:31.420
represented in the cosplay that would be a lot of fun,

06:18:31.420 --> 06:18:33.240
maybe some usage of props.

06:18:33.240 --> 06:18:34.880
People are so creative,

06:18:34.880 --> 06:18:37.320
so I'm just so excited to see what everyone comes up with.

06:18:37.320 --> 06:18:39.600
Is cosplay something you've dabbled in as well?

06:18:39.600 --> 06:18:41.040
I have dabbled in it, yes,

06:18:41.040 --> 06:18:42.920
but I wouldn't put myself on the level

06:18:42.920 --> 06:18:44.840
of the people that are competing in the showcase,

06:18:44.840 --> 06:18:46.440
because that is just next level.

06:18:46.440 --> 06:18:48.320
I have to tell myself I shouldn't be limited

06:18:48.320 --> 06:18:50.200
by my broad shoulders and barrel chest

06:18:50.200 --> 06:18:51.200
when it comes to cosplay.

06:18:51.200 --> 06:18:53.840
There's something that I can do in order to create a template

06:18:53.840 --> 06:18:56.080
in order to modify and make it happen.

06:18:56.080 --> 06:18:57.580
But what would be some tips and tricks

06:18:57.580 --> 06:18:59.720
if you've never done something like that before

06:18:59.720 --> 06:19:00.800
in order to get started?

06:19:00.800 --> 06:19:04.120
I think cosplay, like everything in Pokemon,

06:19:04.120 --> 06:19:04.960
it's for everyone.

06:19:04.960 --> 06:19:06.240
And there's levels to this.

06:19:06.240 --> 06:19:09.480
You can do a closet cosplay or sort of like a bound

06:19:09.480 --> 06:19:11.400
where you kind of just go by the color scheme

06:19:11.400 --> 06:19:14.200
of your favorite character or Pokemon.

06:19:14.200 --> 06:19:15.020
There you go.

06:19:15.020 --> 06:19:15.860
You're doing great.

06:19:15.860 --> 06:19:16.700
10 points.

06:19:16.700 --> 06:19:17.540
See, I don't need to tell you.

06:19:17.540 --> 06:19:18.860
You should be talking to this girl.

06:19:18.860 --> 06:19:22.380
I love the conversation and that it's part

06:19:22.380 --> 06:19:25.260
of the Pokemon experience now because it started

06:19:25.260 --> 06:19:26.980
with focusing on a game and a show,

06:19:26.980 --> 06:19:29.820
and now even the game has fashion involved.

06:19:29.820 --> 06:19:31.620
Have you played any of the recent games

06:19:31.620 --> 06:19:32.900
that let you dress up your characters?

06:19:32.900 --> 06:19:33.740
Is that something you've explored?

06:19:33.740 --> 06:19:35.140
Yes, I love that.

06:19:35.140 --> 06:19:37.620
And actually, not specifically a dress up game,

06:19:37.620 --> 06:19:39.700
but Sword and Shield, one of my favorite characters

06:19:39.700 --> 06:19:41.900
is the fairy gym leader, Opal.

06:19:41.900 --> 06:19:43.020
She's a little bit older.

06:19:43.020 --> 06:19:47.300
maybe like me maybe and she's very fabulous very fan buoyant so I take a

06:19:47.300 --> 06:19:51.060
lot of inspiration for her from her she just expresses herself and she's loud

06:19:51.060 --> 06:19:55.260
and she doesn't care and I'm like okay girl that's love that now you mentioned

06:19:55.260 --> 06:19:58.860
your streamer tell us a little bit about your community what is it like to

06:19:58.860 --> 06:20:03.180
interact with large groups of people as a content creator in Pokemon it's so

06:20:03.180 --> 06:20:07.220
much fun especially to come to large events like this and everyone just sees

06:20:07.220 --> 06:20:12.020
everybody else and and says hi and it's so welcoming and and just chatty

06:20:12.020 --> 06:20:14.820
and just meeting people in real life is a lot of fun.

06:20:14.820 --> 06:20:17.020
I feel like the majority of my friends that I've made

06:20:17.020 --> 06:20:18.660
in the last five years, honestly,

06:20:18.660 --> 06:20:20.700
have solely been through Pokemon.

06:20:20.700 --> 06:20:22.180
So it's really fun to come to these events

06:20:22.180 --> 06:20:25.580
and just sort of like have a big meetup of everybody

06:20:25.580 --> 06:20:26.420
in real life.

06:20:26.420 --> 06:20:28.980
Well, it's a huge meetup, over 50,000 people are here

06:20:28.980 --> 06:20:31.060
and so many people watching from around the world.

06:20:31.060 --> 06:20:34.500
What's it been like for you to experience Pokemon XP?

06:20:34.500 --> 06:20:37.580
Do you have any highlights so far for day three

06:20:37.580 --> 06:20:39.300
or day two or day one?

06:20:39.300 --> 06:20:41.420
Oh gosh, it's been a whirlwind,

06:20:41.420 --> 06:20:45.140
But I think for me personally maybe just sharing the experience here with my son,

06:20:45.140 --> 06:20:48.580
Maxle, we dressed up as Team Rocket yesterday.

06:20:48.580 --> 06:20:52.940
So, it was great because anytime we did anything naughty, we would just be like,

06:20:52.940 --> 06:20:54.900
oh well, that's Team Rocket for you.

06:20:54.900 --> 06:20:59.660
So that's been really great just sort of seeing and experiencing Pokemon again

06:20:59.660 --> 06:21:01.900
through the eyes of a child with my son.

06:21:01.900 --> 06:21:02.700
That's really fun.

06:21:02.700 --> 06:21:06.260
Has anything in particular struck you watching it through his eyes?

06:21:06.260 --> 06:21:09.220
Gosh, I just think that the wonder of it all,

06:21:09.220 --> 06:21:13.120
the characters we saw Lapras waddling about, you know,

06:21:13.120 --> 06:21:15.780
or next to us and he was just like, oh my God, you know,

06:21:15.780 --> 06:21:18.940
it's just sort of that magic feeling at all again.

06:21:18.940 --> 06:21:22.080
Yeah, you got to explore Pokemon to kind of pick favorites,

06:21:22.080 --> 06:21:22.920
find things in it.

06:21:22.920 --> 06:21:25.400
Now, as your son has introduced you,

06:21:25.400 --> 06:21:26.380
you've introduced your son to it.

06:21:26.380 --> 06:21:28.560
Have you found that like he's latched on

06:21:28.560 --> 06:21:30.260
to kind of some of the same things you did

06:21:30.260 --> 06:21:32.060
and you're sharing a lot of the same interests

06:21:32.060 --> 06:21:33.960
or is he kind of taking it in a totally different direction?

06:21:33.960 --> 06:21:35.080
He is.

06:21:35.080 --> 06:21:36.520
We have a lot of inside jokes.

06:21:36.520 --> 06:21:39.720
I like to call myself the dragapult of the family

06:21:39.720 --> 06:21:41.880
because it's like I'm the mom of dragapult

06:21:41.880 --> 06:21:43.520
and my kids are all the little treaties hanging

06:21:43.520 --> 06:21:45.600
all over me all the time.

06:21:45.600 --> 06:21:48.400
I also play dragapult as my deck, so that's really perfect.

06:21:48.400 --> 06:21:49.400
We just launched them right?

06:21:49.400 --> 06:21:51.600
Yeah, there you go.

06:21:51.600 --> 06:21:52.720
I love that.

06:21:52.720 --> 06:21:54.480
Oh my gosh, dragapult's a favorite of mine.

06:21:54.480 --> 06:21:56.640
We opened one of these skateboards earlier

06:21:56.640 --> 06:21:57.920
that was dragapult on it.

06:21:57.920 --> 06:21:58.760
I saw it.

06:21:58.760 --> 06:21:59.600
It's gorgeous.

06:21:59.600 --> 06:22:00.440
It's so pretty, right?

06:22:00.440 --> 06:22:01.600
Do you collect the cards at all?

06:22:01.600 --> 06:22:03.000
Are you into any of the Pokemon art?

06:22:03.000 --> 06:22:04.040
I do, yeah.

06:22:04.040 --> 06:22:07.840
I have almost a complete master set of every new card ever.

06:22:07.840 --> 06:22:08.840
Wow.

06:22:08.840 --> 06:22:09.840
Wow.

06:22:09.840 --> 06:22:10.840
Wow.

06:22:10.840 --> 06:22:11.920
You was one of the hardest ones.

06:22:11.920 --> 06:22:12.920
It is.

06:22:12.920 --> 06:22:13.920
Oh gosh.

06:22:13.920 --> 06:22:14.920
Yeah.

06:22:14.920 --> 06:22:16.960
I'm going into generational debt.

06:22:16.960 --> 06:22:17.960
Yeah.

06:22:17.960 --> 06:22:20.120
You're going into generational investments.

06:22:20.120 --> 06:22:21.120
That's right.

06:22:21.120 --> 06:22:22.120
Okay.

06:22:22.120 --> 06:22:23.120
Yeah.

06:22:23.120 --> 06:22:24.120
The mindset.

06:22:24.120 --> 06:22:27.160
What is your favorite new in the set?

06:22:27.160 --> 06:22:28.320
Oh my gosh.

06:22:28.320 --> 06:22:29.800
Maybe the Korakora.

06:22:29.800 --> 06:22:30.800
Yeah.

06:22:30.800 --> 06:22:31.800
Yeah.

06:22:31.800 --> 06:22:35.240
that one kind of hit me the hardest in the wallet so let's go though.

06:22:35.240 --> 06:22:41.720
I was going to say one of the coolest aspects of everything Pokemon but especially TCG is

06:22:41.720 --> 06:22:46.980
the art style and what I love to really see and be inspired by are the color schemes

06:22:46.980 --> 06:22:48.840
and the color choices.

06:22:48.840 --> 06:22:52.440
Does that influence you when you're thinking about fashion or maybe a specific piece

06:22:52.440 --> 06:22:56.640
or an accessory like I love that color how can I accent that color or use that

06:22:56.640 --> 06:22:58.440
as a base and build from there?

06:22:58.440 --> 06:23:03.480
I think I would love to say that I did think that in depth into it.

06:23:03.480 --> 06:23:09.800
But my style nowadays is to kind of throw everything all together and and hope it sticks.

06:23:09.800 --> 06:23:11.040
Just everything all at once.

06:23:11.040 --> 06:23:13.480
That's what I love about Pokemon because in my day to day normal style,

06:23:13.480 --> 06:23:14.800
and usually pretty dark.

06:23:14.800 --> 06:23:19.040
So when I dress up to celebrate Pokemon, it's the complete opposite.

06:23:19.040 --> 06:23:21.880
So just rainbow everything all at once.

06:23:21.880 --> 06:23:22.840
That's so much fun.

06:23:22.840 --> 06:23:26.840
And when you're streaming, you know, focus on TCG,

06:23:26.840 --> 06:23:30.160
talking about competitive play do you branch out into any other areas of

06:23:30.160 --> 06:23:33.800
Pokemon or does your stream kind of latch on to your fashion of the day or

06:23:33.800 --> 06:23:37.880
anything like that? It's mostly fashion mostly TCG I do venture a little bit

06:23:37.880 --> 06:23:42.200
into the video games but I am inevitably really terrible so. Hey there's so many

06:23:42.200 --> 06:23:46.400
corners of Pokemon and TCG has so much to cover alone. Now you mentioned you're

06:23:46.400 --> 06:23:50.200
playing the dragapult deck what was your experience like who are you

06:23:50.200 --> 06:23:54.400
running into when you're competing here? Oh gosh festival grounds festival

06:23:54.400 --> 06:23:57.160
lead is very hard for me.

06:23:57.160 --> 06:24:00.360
Teal Mask Ogre Palm is a big problem for me.

06:24:01.560 --> 06:24:03.960
I guess anything fighting type also,

06:24:03.960 --> 06:24:05.240
but you know, it's fun.

06:24:05.240 --> 06:24:09.440
It's I think 42.9% of the Masters division right now

06:24:09.440 --> 06:24:10.440
is playing Dragapult.

06:24:10.440 --> 06:24:12.920
So, you know, that many people got to be onto something.

06:24:12.920 --> 06:24:13.840
You're in good company.

06:24:13.840 --> 06:24:14.680
Absolutely.

06:24:15.880 --> 06:24:17.800
Is Dragapult your favorite Pokemon?

06:24:17.800 --> 06:24:19.120
I think right now it is, yeah.

06:24:19.120 --> 06:24:21.920
Just because of the drapey connection with my kids.

06:24:21.920 --> 06:24:22.760
Yeah.

06:24:22.760 --> 06:24:24.760
Have you had a Dragapult yet?

06:24:24.760 --> 06:24:27.760
Before? I'm asking the other casters.

06:24:27.760 --> 06:24:29.760
Have we had a Dragapult favorite?

06:24:29.760 --> 06:24:31.760
Is anyone listening?

06:24:31.760 --> 06:24:33.760
No. I think you're the first Dragapult.

06:24:33.760 --> 06:24:36.760
We have had almost zero repeats.

06:24:36.760 --> 06:24:38.760
The only Pokemon so far with two votes is Kramerant.

06:24:38.760 --> 06:24:40.760
Thanks Jack, keeping us on.

06:24:40.760 --> 06:24:42.760
Wow.

06:24:42.760 --> 06:24:45.760
Dragapult is a top tier choice.

06:24:45.760 --> 06:24:47.760
As you mentioned it's a family affair.

06:24:47.760 --> 06:24:49.760
Being able to attend different regionals.

06:24:49.760 --> 06:24:51.760
What's it like to attend as a family?

06:24:51.760 --> 06:24:55.500
kind of the biggest highlight of being able to continue to enjoy Pokemon together with

06:24:55.500 --> 06:24:56.500
your son?

06:24:56.500 --> 06:25:01.200
I think just sort of when we do regionals going back and forth and who did you play and what

06:25:01.200 --> 06:25:07.800
deck was it and did you win and hyping each other up just that sense of having like your

06:25:07.800 --> 06:25:12.840
own team your own family it's a lot of fun and it's something to bond over and I think

06:25:12.840 --> 06:25:16.900
it will continue to be even as they get older and maybe we maybe have a little less

06:25:16.900 --> 06:25:21.300
in common with you know the kids getting older I think we'll always have that commonality

06:25:21.300 --> 06:25:24.880
we'll always have Pokemon, so it's something to look forward to.

06:25:24.880 --> 06:25:28.840
Bringing your family here to Pokemon XP and experiencing this first time that we're all

06:25:28.840 --> 06:25:33.520
doing this, what would you say to someone as either a piece of advice or a piece of encouragement

06:25:33.520 --> 06:25:35.020
if they're coming to for the first time?

06:25:35.020 --> 06:25:38.400
How can they make the most of or really enjoy something like Pokemon XP?

06:25:38.400 --> 06:25:41.420
Gosh, I would say just really take it in, go slow.

06:25:41.420 --> 06:25:45.580
There's so much to do everywhere you look and it's easy to get overwhelmed, but

06:25:45.580 --> 06:25:49.640
just enjoy the company you're with if you're in a line, you know, talk to

06:25:49.640 --> 06:25:50.640
your neighbor.

06:25:50.640 --> 06:25:54.880
make some friends. That's the best part of everything. And take lots of pictures.

06:25:54.880 --> 06:25:58.800
Have you made any particular memories that you know you're going to really treasure here this time?

06:25:59.440 --> 06:26:04.240
Gosh, I think the best is yet to come to be honest. I'm really, really looking forward to the

06:26:04.240 --> 06:26:09.280
championships and getting really hyped last year. Me and my son were like, it felt like we were at

06:26:09.280 --> 06:26:14.400
the Super Bowl. This is our Super Bowl to be honest. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Are you looking for a

06:26:14.400 --> 06:26:20.160
closing ceremony? Oh gosh. Yes. And any potential announcements to come? Very excited

06:26:20.160 --> 06:26:21.160
for that as well.

06:26:21.160 --> 06:26:22.160
Yes.

06:26:22.160 --> 06:26:25.160
Oh, I don't know if you just called that flash of the nails as well.

06:26:25.160 --> 06:26:26.160
Oh my goodness.

06:26:26.160 --> 06:26:27.160
They're flawless.

06:26:27.160 --> 06:26:28.160
Oh, it's a pleasure.

06:26:28.160 --> 06:26:29.160
It's a pleasure.

06:26:29.160 --> 06:26:31.160
Can I catch up on that as well?

06:26:31.160 --> 06:26:32.160
On the thumb.

06:26:32.160 --> 06:26:33.160
Oh my goodness.

06:26:33.160 --> 06:26:34.160
I can't see from over here.

06:26:34.160 --> 06:26:35.160
We got our spectrum on the thumb.

06:26:35.160 --> 06:26:36.160
We've got Charmine to Pikachu.

06:26:36.160 --> 06:26:39.160
We've got Squirtle Bulbasaur and a beautiful gradient.

06:26:39.160 --> 06:26:40.160
Wow.

06:26:40.160 --> 06:26:41.160
That glitter's gonna love that.

06:26:41.160 --> 06:26:42.160
I know.

06:26:42.160 --> 06:26:44.160
Yeah, glitter's gonna be really excited.

06:26:44.160 --> 06:26:47.440
Now, if people are like, you know what, I haven't really seen myself as a very

06:26:47.440 --> 06:26:51.360
fashionable person but I would really like to maybe they kind of lack the

06:26:51.360 --> 06:26:54.440
confidence or they could lack the know-how what would you tell them in how

06:26:54.440 --> 06:26:59.800
to start expressing themselves through fashion? I would just say go into it

06:26:59.800 --> 06:27:03.480
slow just one piece at a time sometimes one accent is all you really need one

06:27:03.480 --> 06:27:07.720
accessory a lot of times even like with my nails like people notice the

06:27:07.720 --> 06:27:10.920
smallest thing and it could be the one little thing about your outfit and it

06:27:10.920 --> 06:27:14.000
could be something that you know maybe somebody's favorite to make somebody's

06:27:14.000 --> 06:27:19.040
day which is really fun something that someone can comment on and have a chat about yeah now is

06:27:19.600 --> 06:27:23.360
maxill also getting interested in the fashion aspects of pokemon as well i mean dressed up as

06:27:23.360 --> 06:27:29.680
team rocket but is he is he drippy today he's a drippy every day he's wearing his his full he is

06:27:31.680 --> 06:27:36.240
blue and red he's all about it i'm so proud of rocket yeah for us guys when we grow a little bit

06:27:36.240 --> 06:27:40.720
older we try to think of three pieces maybe sometimes four maybe take one away but when you

06:27:40.720 --> 06:27:43.720
and you have the three pieces, be it a vest or a jacket

06:27:43.720 --> 06:27:45.760
or a pin, that accent really makes a difference

06:27:45.760 --> 06:27:47.520
and it helps build that confidence as well.

06:27:47.520 --> 06:27:50.160
So it does help to have a little bit of guidance

06:27:50.160 --> 06:27:52.080
and advice, even in the world of Pokemon.

06:27:52.080 --> 06:27:53.200
Yeah, absolutely.

06:27:53.200 --> 06:27:54.280
More is more if you ask me.

06:27:54.280 --> 06:27:55.120
There you go.

06:27:55.120 --> 06:27:57.360
I feel like we've been discovering here

06:27:57.360 --> 06:27:59.800
that what everyone is looking for is that connection

06:27:59.800 --> 06:28:01.480
and we have Pokemon as that connection

06:28:01.480 --> 06:28:03.640
but I feel like maybe that's why I've loved

06:28:03.640 --> 06:28:05.520
dabbling in fashion with Pokemon so much

06:28:05.520 --> 06:28:07.440
because when someone sees something like the nails

06:28:07.440 --> 06:28:08.720
and they're like, I like your nails,

06:28:08.720 --> 06:28:09.960
then you have an instant friend

06:28:09.960 --> 06:28:12.140
that you can chat with, you have something to talk about.

06:28:12.140 --> 06:28:14.040
Is that your experience too, that you meet people

06:28:14.040 --> 06:28:15.120
through something like fashion?

06:28:15.120 --> 06:28:17.160
Absolutely, everywhere I go, it's just,

06:28:17.160 --> 06:28:19.800
oh, I love your bag, I love your hair, I love your nails.

06:28:19.800 --> 06:28:22.600
And it's really easy to draw inspiration from everyone.

06:28:22.600 --> 06:28:24.080
Everyone here has their own style.

06:28:24.080 --> 06:28:25.860
And even if we're wearing the same things,

06:28:25.860 --> 06:28:28.120
we present it in unique ways.

06:28:28.120 --> 06:28:30.280
And it's just cool to get inspiration

06:28:30.280 --> 06:28:32.640
from literally everywhere I look.

06:28:32.640 --> 06:28:33.480
It's a lot of fun.

06:28:33.480 --> 06:28:36.400
And what's the best way to pack when it comes to

06:28:36.400 --> 06:28:37.720
keeping everything Christine?

06:28:37.720 --> 06:28:38.560
What's the straps?

06:28:38.560 --> 06:28:39.760
What are the strategies to that?

06:28:39.760 --> 06:28:44.960
Oh man, I brought an additional suitcase just for all the shopping that I knew that I was going to do.

06:28:44.960 --> 06:28:50.480
So I finally learned my lesson. Just bring a whole empty carry on and bring it back.

06:28:50.480 --> 06:28:55.800
That's the final evolution of traveling to these places as you finally just realize you just need a second suitcase.

06:28:55.800 --> 06:28:56.320
How many terms?

06:28:56.320 --> 06:28:57.120
Yeah, me too.

06:28:57.120 --> 06:28:58.640
Alright, can I ask one more?

06:28:58.640 --> 06:28:59.600
Sure, go ahead.

06:28:59.600 --> 06:29:04.480
What's the best piece of Pokemon fashion, jewelry, accessory that you've found? Where did you find it?

06:29:04.480 --> 06:29:07.960
Did you go to Pokemon Centers Japan? Was it the Pokemon Centers at the events?

06:29:07.960 --> 06:29:14.920
Gosh, I'm loving all of the recent brand collabs. I'm really liking black milks black milks collection here

06:29:14.920 --> 06:29:16.920
I'm wearing a little bit of it

06:29:17.120 --> 06:29:22.040
The bubble bar jewels is so beautiful at Pokemon Center. I gotta go back and get some

06:29:22.320 --> 06:29:26.620
Just just everything I love to mix and match just add a little bit of Pokemon and everything that I wear

06:29:26.720 --> 06:29:28.840
Love it. I'm taking hints. That was all you can have

06:29:29.440 --> 06:29:32.160
We actually have to get to the cosplay showcase very soon

06:29:32.160 --> 06:29:35.080
But where can people find you and follow along with your adventures online?

06:29:35.080 --> 06:29:39.240
Awesome, you can find me across all social platforms at Rebby Hardy.

06:29:39.240 --> 06:29:44.160
Awesome, thank you so much for stopping by, it's been a pleasure and right now, we are

06:29:44.160 --> 06:29:47.000
going to watch that cosplay showcase, let's get to it.

06:31:35.080 --> 06:31:40.920
Let's keep the noise going, guys. Welcome back to the Pokemon X

06:31:40.920 --> 06:31:45.260
to be our final day and one of our final finals.

06:31:45.260 --> 06:31:47.800
It's gonna be an awesome time.

06:31:47.800 --> 06:31:50.400
This year, we had more applications than ever.

06:31:50.400 --> 06:31:53.660
We are so excited to be able to showcase the dedication,

06:31:53.660 --> 06:31:56.840
creativity, and hard work of our trainers.

06:31:56.840 --> 06:31:58.880
Are you ready to cheer on the magic

06:31:58.880 --> 06:32:01.280
that's about to happen on this stage?

06:32:01.280 --> 06:32:07.280
All right, well, it's time for the Cosplay Showcase.

06:32:07.280 --> 06:32:08.120
Please.

06:32:37.280 --> 06:32:46.560
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the cosplay showcase at Pokemon XB and World 2026.

06:32:46.560 --> 06:32:50.720
I'm evolution cosplay and I'll be your host for today's event.

06:32:50.720 --> 06:32:55.040
I had a chance to look at everyone in the back and all the cosplayers look amazing.

06:32:55.040 --> 06:32:59.440
So what do you say we get this cosplay showcase started?

06:32:59.440 --> 06:33:06.480
So, please welcome our first cosplayer,

06:33:06.480 --> 06:33:09.440
Seven Twixas, Cosplay as Lily.

06:33:09.440 --> 06:33:11.440
Beautiful.

06:33:11.440 --> 06:33:28.440
Seven Twixas chose Lily since she is her favorite character because of her unyielding contamination

06:33:28.440 --> 06:33:30.440
for our family and friends.

06:33:30.440 --> 06:33:32.120
There are space-inspired elements

06:33:32.120 --> 06:33:33.440
throughout the dress molded out

06:33:33.440 --> 06:33:36.120
the celestial body of our little buddy Cosmo.

06:33:36.120 --> 06:33:38.120
Thank you very much.

06:33:42.620 --> 06:33:45.100
Please look into the stage as Alexa,

06:33:45.100 --> 06:33:47.120
Tosley, and Gwen.

06:33:47.120 --> 06:33:49.120
Beautiful, very graceful.

06:33:49.120 --> 06:33:55.120
Beautiful. Very graceful.

06:33:55.120 --> 06:33:58.120
Love your hat.

06:34:01.120 --> 06:34:03.120
Beautiful, beautiful.

06:34:03.120 --> 06:34:05.120
Thank you Alexa.

06:34:05.120 --> 06:34:08.120
Up next on our cosplay, we have Anthea.

06:34:08.120 --> 06:34:12.120
Cosplaying as Lee from Pokemon Lee Street and Fire Red.

06:34:15.120 --> 06:34:17.120
She made her Lee costume from scratch.

06:34:17.120 --> 06:34:19.740
From tracks she went to the Pokemon fossil exhibit.

06:34:19.740 --> 06:34:23.500
Even the hat is simply self-made from EVA foam and felt.

06:34:23.500 --> 06:34:26.620
The fitting Kogadesk props is a 3D print that she purchased

06:34:26.620 --> 06:34:28.380
and the shoes are fristed and altered.

06:34:28.380 --> 06:34:30.380
Her main reference for the chosen texture

06:34:30.380 --> 06:34:31.580
is the rabbit of the shirt

06:34:31.580 --> 06:34:34.100
with her super smash gross ultimate artwork.

06:34:34.100 --> 06:34:35.500
She chose Lee for her cosplay

06:34:35.500 --> 06:34:36.980
because she loves the personality

06:34:36.980 --> 06:34:38.980
in the Pokemon Adventures manga.

06:34:38.980 --> 06:34:43.820
Thank you, Anvia.

06:34:43.820 --> 06:34:48.820
Next up, we have Ash Cosplay as Kerbo.

06:34:48.820 --> 06:34:51.820
Look at that swagger.

06:34:51.820 --> 06:34:54.820
Kerbo is their second hope of Cosplay after Rika.

06:34:54.820 --> 06:34:58.820
The Cosplay was made with the help of their mother and their friend, Lance,

06:34:58.820 --> 06:35:00.820
who was very skilled at 3D printing.

06:35:00.820 --> 06:35:06.820
This project took about a month to make.

06:35:08.820 --> 06:35:10.820
Thank you, Kerbo.

06:35:10.820 --> 06:35:24.140
Let's see, look at this stage, Ashley Puffin at the Nopinaga from Kokomot Compact.

06:35:24.140 --> 06:35:28.500
She made it all by herself, both the EVA film armor portion and the sewing portion,

06:35:28.500 --> 06:35:30.500
where a hand done by her.

06:35:30.500 --> 06:35:37.660
The build for this look took several months and the armor look took a long time.

06:35:37.660 --> 06:35:39.660
Thank you, Ashley.

06:35:39.660 --> 06:35:47.660
On the stage, we have Barbara and Patsy, Patsy and Emma from Legend CA.

06:35:47.660 --> 06:35:52.660
Emma was her favorite character while playing Legend CA.

06:35:52.660 --> 06:35:56.660
She loves her wits and the partnership she has with Esper, Mimi.

06:35:56.660 --> 06:35:59.660
The wig for Emma was made from a recycled Halloween wig

06:35:59.660 --> 06:36:02.660
and the hairpiece was 3D printed with the help from her husband.

06:36:02.660 --> 06:36:06.660
Thank you, Barbara and Patsy.

06:36:06.660 --> 06:36:13.660
Please welcome to the stage, Kenny Chan, possibly as Rosa.

06:36:13.660 --> 06:36:23.660
Kenny Chan says that I fell in love with myself at each fun nurse's five entrance and

06:36:23.660 --> 06:36:24.660
diameter.

06:36:24.660 --> 06:36:29.660
I also hand paint to the divisors, shoes, and bags to match the character.

06:36:29.660 --> 06:36:32.660
Thank you, Kenny Chan.

06:36:32.660 --> 06:36:37.500
And up next are Cosplay Showcase.

06:36:37.500 --> 06:36:39.460
We have Captain Leftovers.

06:36:39.460 --> 06:36:41.460
Cosplay at end.

06:36:41.460 --> 06:36:52.780
The weight was constructed with many hours of teasing

06:36:52.780 --> 06:36:55.580
for volume and a whole can of hairspray.

06:36:55.580 --> 06:36:58.020
In total, it took around 10 hours.

06:36:58.020 --> 06:36:59.980
Her favorite Pokemon is Pikachu.

06:37:02.660 --> 06:37:05.660
Thank you Captain Leftovers!

06:37:06.660 --> 06:37:12.660
On stage next we have Cheesecake, constantly at Keck Mania from Legends VA.

06:37:18.660 --> 06:37:23.660
Cheesecake wants you to know that her dress has pockets. Both Pokemon are her favorite type.

06:37:23.660 --> 06:37:26.660
This Shadler and I beat some of her favorite Pokemon.

06:37:26.660 --> 06:37:33.660
Thank you, Cheesecake.

06:37:33.660 --> 06:37:44.660
Please welcome to the stage Christopher Cosplay as Blanche from Pokemon Go.

06:37:44.660 --> 06:37:52.660
Blanche is both Christopher's team leader in Pokemon Go, as well as Christopher's first Cosplay.

06:37:52.660 --> 06:37:54.660
What a time to debate.

06:37:54.660 --> 06:37:56.660
We have a new job.

06:37:56.660 --> 06:38:01.660
Let's see how CJ is playing as Corvo.

06:38:01.660 --> 06:38:07.660
CJ says that the pieces on the glasses

06:38:07.660 --> 06:38:12.660
were made of modern clay that he molded and painted.

06:38:12.660 --> 06:38:15.660
Look at that detail work, guys.

06:38:15.660 --> 06:38:21.660
Thank you so much, CJ.

06:38:21.660 --> 06:38:25.660
We have a duo, Collector K and Corey!

06:38:25.660 --> 06:38:27.660
Cosplay and the Slash and Spark!

06:38:30.660 --> 06:38:33.660
Collector K said Slash is one of the three leaders in Pokemon Go

06:38:33.660 --> 06:38:37.660
and is the leader of Sea Mystics where she uses Articuno.

06:38:37.660 --> 06:38:40.660
It has taken K three months to show, alter, paint,

06:38:40.660 --> 06:38:43.660
and even hand size from batter to the hair of all the Cosplay.

06:38:43.660 --> 06:38:46.660
One of her favorite pieces of the jacket and hat she used

06:38:46.660 --> 06:38:49.660
and Corey is doing a Spark Cosplay.

06:38:49.660 --> 06:38:51.660
Thank you, Pory!

06:38:51.660 --> 06:38:53.660
And collecting cakes!

06:38:53.660 --> 06:38:56.660
Up next, Kathy Sorceress!

06:38:57.660 --> 06:39:00.660
Cosplay and Akari from Pokemon Legends Arcade,

06:39:00.660 --> 06:39:03.660
these are fancy Komodo outfits.

06:39:03.660 --> 06:39:08.660
This top is all still painted by hand, starting since October of last year.

06:39:08.660 --> 06:39:11.660
There are 24 different Pokémons pasting on her Komodo.

06:39:11.660 --> 06:39:13.660
Can you find them all?

06:39:13.660 --> 06:39:16.660
The Komodo top also converts into a regular sweatshirt.

06:39:16.660 --> 06:39:19.660
She's worked lots when she did cosplay, all stealthy.

06:39:20.660 --> 06:39:22.660
So wonderful!

06:39:23.660 --> 06:39:25.660
Thank you, Castisorceress!

06:39:25.660 --> 06:39:30.660
Up next, we have Anne, who's playing as Rockstar, a Rockboro City gym leader!

06:39:32.660 --> 06:39:38.660
This cosplay has been to the Pokemon Museum in Chicago to study Pokemon and real-world fossils.

06:39:38.660 --> 06:39:43.660
To make sure her representation of this gym leader was rock solid by the cosplay showcase.

06:39:43.660 --> 06:39:50.660
Up next, Emma from Tash Jesse Lee, Jesse from Team Rocket.

06:39:50.660 --> 06:39:56.660
When she performed in the Talos League's Pokemon Showcase, how appropriate.

06:39:56.660 --> 06:40:01.660
Emma's cosplay and Jesse Lee, Jesse's alias used while she performed in Pokemon Cup Showcase

06:40:01.660 --> 06:40:04.660
during her quest to become Talos Queen.

06:40:04.660 --> 06:40:07.660
The cosplay took a month to complete.

06:40:07.660 --> 06:40:12.660
Many of these pieces of the cosplay were twisted or repurposed from past cosplays.

06:40:12.660 --> 06:40:17.240
Emma repays her high school character shoes, reconstructed her Renaissance spare vest, and

06:40:17.240 --> 06:40:19.740
made her head piece using a juggling scarf.

06:40:19.740 --> 06:40:20.740
The fluffy shawl?

06:40:20.740 --> 06:40:22.740
It started off a fuzzy run.

06:40:22.740 --> 06:40:27.580
There was also Emma's first time making a helmet wig and learning to cut and thin hair.

06:40:27.580 --> 06:40:31.260
This cosplay was challenging, chaotic, and incredibly rewarding journey.

06:40:31.260 --> 06:40:35.620
Emma is grateful to the cosplay community for all the inspiration and education and

06:40:35.620 --> 06:40:36.620
support to make it.

06:40:36.620 --> 06:40:37.620
Thank you, Emma!

06:40:37.620 --> 06:40:44.620
Please welcome Ezekiel, cosplay as Marshall!

06:40:44.620 --> 06:40:57.620
Marshall is his favorite Pokemon in Empolia, but ever since cosplay, Marshall's Hulk,

06:40:57.620 --> 06:41:04.620
Hulkator, has been rising in the ring.

06:41:04.620 --> 06:41:09.980
powerful stances. Thank you, Ezekiel. Please welcome to stage another partner

06:41:09.980 --> 06:41:14.140
to your Julia and Gabe cosplay as Young Couple.

06:41:17.580 --> 06:41:22.540
Young Couple is from Pokemon Omega Ruby outside of Sapphire. And a fun fact about

06:41:22.540 --> 06:41:26.860
this Young Couple cosplay is that when they made it, they were actually a Young Couple.

06:41:28.940 --> 06:41:33.180
Now, they're certainly not part of Young, but they're very happy to celebrate celebrating

06:41:33.180 --> 06:41:34.760
Seven years of knowledge.

06:41:34.760 --> 06:41:36.100
Happy anniversary!

06:41:36.100 --> 06:41:36.940
Yeah!

06:41:36.940 --> 06:41:40.660
Up next, we have Ghost Robert Cardi,

06:41:40.660 --> 06:41:44.100
cosplay as champion Beedie from Pokemon Masters EX.

06:41:44.100 --> 06:41:48.180
Beedie is their favorite character.

06:41:48.180 --> 06:41:50.340
They loved cosplay in his various outfits,

06:41:50.340 --> 06:41:53.660
and when he became a Neo champion in Pokemon Masters EX,

06:41:53.660 --> 06:41:56.180
they knew they had to make this cosplay.

06:42:00.260 --> 06:42:02.820
Thank you so much, Ghost Robert Cardi.

06:42:03.180 --> 06:42:10.180
Please, welcome Hero-Honda Cosplay as Yellow!

06:42:10.180 --> 06:42:14.180
This was one of the first cosplays she made.

06:42:14.180 --> 06:42:17.180
It has endured the first to past 15 years.

06:42:17.180 --> 06:42:20.180
Always remaining a comfort cosplay as she grew as a Cosplay,

06:42:20.180 --> 06:42:24.180
much like how the Pokemon world has been at home for the past 30 years.

06:42:24.180 --> 06:42:28.180
As she grew as a person, Yellow is one of her favorite characters in the whole series,

06:42:28.180 --> 06:42:32.180
and she hopes she can shine beyond the longer one day.

06:42:32.180 --> 06:42:37.180
Thank you so much, y'all.

06:42:37.180 --> 06:42:42.180
Welcome to the stage, and next cosplayers, Jesse Lee.

06:42:42.180 --> 06:42:49.180
Cosplay as Alicia from Pokemon Left and Right 2.

06:42:49.180 --> 06:42:53.180
This is a brand new cosplay she's debuting this year at World.

06:42:53.180 --> 06:42:56.180
Alicia's her favorite cheerleader, and she loves Minova.

06:42:56.180 --> 06:43:00.180
The headset is green-printed and even lights up.

06:43:00.180 --> 06:43:07.180
Thank you just for leaving.

06:43:07.180 --> 06:43:14.180
On stage, we have Jonah, cosplay and Justice.

06:43:14.180 --> 06:43:19.180
This is his first time cosplay at all.

06:43:19.180 --> 06:43:21.180
His wife has been cosplay for 10 years.

06:43:21.180 --> 06:43:24.180
Helping the cosplay for him.

06:43:24.180 --> 06:43:30.180
Gessus is his favorite villainous team boss where his PCT boss or his floor is his favorite card.

06:43:32.180 --> 06:43:35.180
Please welcome Josie Cosplay and Zon!

06:43:38.180 --> 06:43:44.180
Zon is the fourth Cosplay Interpreter to Cosplay a trainer from every generation of Pokemon.

06:43:44.180 --> 06:43:48.180
It was made with 100% recycled clothes and materials.

06:43:48.180 --> 06:43:53.180
She wants to show people that you don't need a lot of money to be creative and have Zon.

06:43:54.180 --> 06:44:00.100
Please, welcome to the stage,

06:44:00.100 --> 06:44:02.660
Lightless Kite, Cuffing and Red.

06:44:02.660 --> 06:44:09.220
He went through three different red hats to make the one he's wearing now.

06:44:09.220 --> 06:44:12.580
It's deceptively simple, but he's made a lot of mistakes along the way.

06:44:12.580 --> 06:44:15.300
Even the Curbland has a blue-stained awe of red.

06:44:15.300 --> 06:44:20.900
He was supposed to get a fork done, but his life extract says that to clean it up at the kitchen booth.

06:44:20.900 --> 06:44:27.900
Thank you, Blightless Kite.

06:44:27.900 --> 06:44:30.900
Up next, we have Cat Cosmina Canary.

06:44:30.900 --> 06:44:37.900
Cat learned several new skills just because she decided to marry me

06:44:37.900 --> 06:44:39.900
and to be in this exact innovation picture card.

06:44:39.900 --> 06:44:42.900
This one has her very first helmet work she's ever made

06:44:42.900 --> 06:44:46.900
and she handpays to the team's Dynamo logo on the back of her jacket

06:44:46.900 --> 06:44:50.900
and place each of the jewels one by one.

06:44:50.900 --> 06:44:55.900
Thank you cats!

06:44:57.900 --> 06:45:02.900
Up next on our cosplay stage is YDLE Cosplay S Clare.

06:45:04.900 --> 06:45:09.900
She has been cosplaying since 2014, but this will be her first time on a stage.

06:45:09.900 --> 06:45:15.900
Despite cosplaying since 2014, this cosplay taught her a lot about different methods.

06:45:15.900 --> 06:45:19.900
close to show that we are always still learning and to never give up.

06:45:24.900 --> 06:45:29.900
Up next we have another cosplay duo. Please give it up for Kat and Taka.

06:45:29.900 --> 06:45:32.900
Taka is looking at Lippie and Corvo.

06:45:32.900 --> 06:45:47.900
Lippie and Porbo are the by far the favorite characters from Legend Z.A.

06:45:47.900 --> 06:46:01.900
Amazing job Kat and Sofa, thank you.

06:46:01.900 --> 06:46:06.900
Up next on a cosplay showcase, we have Akane, cosplay as Rainie.

06:46:06.900 --> 06:46:18.900
She put a lot of care and effort into recreating the characters to suit their hairstyle, especially when making and studying the wig.

06:46:18.900 --> 06:46:22.900
It's one of the parts of a cosplay that she is most proud of.

06:46:26.900 --> 06:46:28.900
Thank you so much Akane.

06:46:28.900 --> 06:46:35.900
Please welcome Nimbley, cosplaying as Tula.

06:46:35.900 --> 06:46:41.900
She designed the wings to float using magnets and she can remove or apply them anywhere.

06:46:41.900 --> 06:46:46.900
She taught herself how to style curts and makes for the swing and it took two hours.

06:46:46.900 --> 06:46:52.900
She's now a certified beautician.

06:46:52.900 --> 06:46:56.900
Beautiful. Thank you, Nimbley.

06:46:56.900 --> 06:47:01.900
Up next, we have Magouma Paufe as the Lord Champion Leon!

06:47:05.900 --> 06:47:11.900
He started planning and making this costume today after Leon was revealed as a character from Pokemon Sword and Shield.

06:47:11.900 --> 06:47:13.900
They spent six months...

06:47:17.900 --> 06:47:21.900
Six months of hard work making the costume and making each character friend scotch.

06:47:23.900 --> 06:47:25.900
Thank you Magouma!

06:47:26.900 --> 06:47:32.400
Masha'Lam is our next cosplay on stage, cosplay as Captain Iris!

06:47:34.400 --> 06:47:40.400
Masha'Lam has two wigs for this character, one that fits in a suitcase and a bigger one for local conventions.

06:47:43.400 --> 06:47:48.400
It's a five years total to complete this cosplay mostly because of fairytale talks to make the wigs.

06:47:48.400 --> 06:47:54.400
Iris is here, fans in Pokemon Journeys, once convincing and motivating to finish the cosplay.

06:47:54.400 --> 06:47:57.400
We're so glad that you did!

06:47:57.400 --> 06:48:02.400
Please welcome my name is Fort Cosplay and I'm as ketchup from Pokemon Journeys this series!

06:48:05.400 --> 06:48:09.400
Despite having the disabilities of Braxia and getting nerve-diverses,

06:48:09.400 --> 06:48:12.400
my name was Fort completed this in 8 weeks with thanks to friends,

06:48:12.400 --> 06:48:16.400
counselors and family advice and with curated some absurd components,

06:48:16.400 --> 06:48:19.400
such as charity shop lives, official Pokemon merch,

06:48:19.400 --> 06:48:23.400
and other pieces that allow for their reuse and other items.

06:48:23.400 --> 06:48:27.400
Making the cosplay is not just fun, but sustainable.

06:48:32.400 --> 06:48:35.400
Thank you, my name is Forrest.

06:48:36.400 --> 06:48:41.400
Next up, we have Natto the Cosplay as Justin!

06:48:46.400 --> 06:48:49.400
All the fabric for Jasmine was purchased from small businesses

06:48:49.400 --> 06:48:54.840
businesses and their entire cosplay was put together in five days from start to finish.

06:48:54.840 --> 06:48:59.960
Her Amphorosparkey helps to manage the all of my city lighthouse while Jasmine users are

06:48:59.960 --> 06:49:02.600
still tense to fight worthy trainers for a gym badge.

06:49:06.040 --> 06:49:10.680
Thank you, Nadova! Please, on stage next, we have Peach Pop!

06:49:12.120 --> 06:49:17.400
Woo! Huffay of Levain from Pokemon Legends VA.

06:49:19.400 --> 06:49:22.100
She has the salinotic ear-ceasing specialty,

06:49:22.100 --> 06:49:24.240
Brianna Excite, although her design

06:49:24.240 --> 06:49:26.440
couldn't show her face if she had been taken out.

06:49:26.440 --> 06:49:28.240
Likely by order of just it.

06:49:28.240 --> 06:49:31.440
She also has a tiny joy alga in her pocket.

06:49:34.040 --> 06:49:37.080
Gotta show off the little bodies.

06:49:37.080 --> 06:49:38.680
Thank you, peachy pops.

06:49:42.480 --> 06:49:44.420
Up next on stage, we have Quince Joppe,

06:49:44.420 --> 06:49:46.860
Counting, and Professor Willow.

06:49:46.860 --> 06:49:56.860
For Professor Willow, he decided to print his own custom milk hat to look exactly like the

06:49:56.860 --> 06:49:58.860
research tab in Pokemon Go.

06:49:58.860 --> 06:50:03.860
Therefore, even one out at the convention, Professor Willow, can still beautifully hand

06:50:03.860 --> 06:50:04.860
out research.

06:50:04.860 --> 06:50:07.860
Professor, it's hard work.

06:50:07.860 --> 06:50:13.860
Thank you for all your hard work, Professor Willow.

06:50:13.860 --> 06:50:20.860
Please welcome to the stage, Ruby, cosplaying as Team Skull Grunt!

06:50:22.860 --> 06:50:24.860
There!

06:50:25.860 --> 06:50:28.860
Even Baby is on parry!

06:50:29.860 --> 06:50:33.860
This is Ruby's first time diving away, and it's always so fun,

06:50:33.860 --> 06:50:37.860
but other podcars are straight into the Team Skull Dance with her!

06:50:37.860 --> 06:50:40.860
Her favorite Pokemon is Gash for Thine!

06:50:40.860 --> 06:50:47.860
Be sure to find it since you go ahead and dance with her, too.

06:50:47.860 --> 06:50:50.860
Up next we have Sarah Cosley and Penny.

06:50:50.860 --> 06:50:59.860
A fun fact about her Cosley is she chose to Cosley and Penny because so, so many of her

06:50:59.860 --> 06:51:07.860
friends told her Penny was Sarah-coded when Scarlett and Violet came out.

06:51:07.860 --> 06:51:09.860
Thank you so much Sarah!

06:51:13.860 --> 06:51:16.860
We have Samantha Riggs helping us, Lysia!

06:51:20.860 --> 06:51:26.860
She's helping Lysia even using Air Dried Clay and Pillow Stuffing to replicate a faria's fluffy wings.

06:51:27.860 --> 06:51:31.860
The colors should be found in changes colors between blue, purple, and pink.

06:51:32.860 --> 06:51:33.860
What a fabulous outfit!

06:51:33.860 --> 06:51:50.020
on stage next we have Sammy the cosplay as Lily some fun facts about this cosplay are

06:51:50.020 --> 06:51:54.060
that Lily is one of her favorite characters in the Pokemon franchise and she used to

06:51:54.060 --> 06:51:58.060
make how much her base outfit stood out but seeing how through the events of the game

06:51:58.060 --> 06:52:02.260
and on her major turning point her secondary outfit gives her a more optimistic and

06:52:02.260 --> 06:52:04.900
and bubbly personality, which she tried to embody,

06:52:04.900 --> 06:52:07.000
especially while in Cal State.

06:52:11.000 --> 06:52:12.900
Thank you so much, Sing-A-Vee.

06:52:14.700 --> 06:52:18.200
On stage next, please welcome Stop Cal State at Scisham.

06:52:25.200 --> 06:52:27.380
Scott says that this is his first time

06:52:27.380 --> 06:52:29.380
styling his own way.

06:52:29.380 --> 06:52:30.980
Give it up for the way, guys.

06:52:32.260 --> 06:52:36.260
Thank you so much, Scott.

06:52:36.260 --> 06:52:39.260
We have another talented duo coming on stage.

06:52:39.260 --> 06:52:41.260
Taityla and Elijah.

06:52:41.260 --> 06:52:44.260
Taityla is with you and May.

06:52:47.260 --> 06:52:49.260
Taityla and Ashley are day-added cosplays

06:52:49.260 --> 06:52:51.260
who have been obsessed with Pokemon

06:52:51.260 --> 06:52:54.260
since they first started with Denjri in the early 2000s.

06:52:54.260 --> 06:52:56.260
Their cosplays were made by Taityla

06:52:56.260 --> 06:52:57.260
and special product,

06:52:57.260 --> 06:52:58.260
woven with tinsel,

06:52:58.260 --> 06:53:00.260
multiple shades of blue and purple

06:53:00.260 --> 06:53:03.600
purple to bring the Pokemon concept items to life.

06:53:03.600 --> 06:53:08.600
Beautiful, thank you so much.

06:53:18.920 --> 06:53:20.220
One kind of bow.

06:53:20.220 --> 06:53:37.220
We have in our next costume showcase, Winona Casayna Serena!

06:53:37.220 --> 06:53:42.620
Winona, 3D Prince at the Megering, she's way. She's an avid Pokemon fan and it's accompanied

06:53:42.620 --> 06:53:46.860
by an Eevee, she has been trained since she was little. It's her favorite Pokemon

06:53:46.860 --> 06:53:49.520
and she likes the Swinna trains ones too.

06:53:49.520 --> 06:53:54.520
Thank you, Winona!

06:53:55.500 --> 06:53:57.720
And finally, we have our last time player

06:53:57.720 --> 06:53:59.340
on stage section, at least,

06:53:59.340 --> 06:54:01.840
YCO.0X Top Play as Pervo!

06:54:08.180 --> 06:54:10.420
This is the third iteration of the jacket.

06:54:10.420 --> 06:54:12.200
The first was a simple classic outfit

06:54:12.200 --> 06:54:14.760
after seeing Pervo and Legend's VA trailer.

06:54:14.760 --> 06:54:19.120
The second use in existing laser was a modified lapel and leg.

06:54:19.120 --> 06:54:20.920
And this jacket in its current form

06:54:20.920 --> 06:54:23.680
was made from scratch leather and cargo sewage.

06:54:23.680 --> 06:54:25.500
Then through you saw shillies,

06:54:25.500 --> 06:54:28.040
the two of them braved scum different materials

06:54:28.040 --> 06:54:31.200
for the posing drinks, including resin coated fabric.

06:54:31.200 --> 06:54:33.880
But decided to prioritize the longevity of the garment

06:54:33.880 --> 06:54:35.880
in the end, and all three versions

06:54:35.880 --> 06:54:38.640
hold a special place in their hearts.

06:54:38.640 --> 06:54:54.640
Let's give it up one more time for our amazing cosplayers!

06:54:54.640 --> 06:55:01.640
There you go, let's welcome to the stage, come on!

06:55:01.640 --> 06:55:05.640
They've spent so many weeks and months!

06:55:05.640 --> 06:55:14.640
Keep it going!

06:55:14.640 --> 06:55:21.640
Keep it going!

06:55:44.640 --> 06:55:58.700
Amazing! It's been so much fun hosting this year's Cosplay Showcase, and we hope you

06:55:58.700 --> 06:56:02.700
enjoy the rest of your day at Pokemon XP and the world's 2026!

I

07:29:14.640 --> 07:29:16.640
I

07:31:14.640 --> 07:31:19.640
I'm not sure what to do with this.

07:31:19.640 --> 07:31:24.640
I'm just gonna wait for the last one.

07:31:24.640 --> 07:31:29.640
I'm not sure what to do with this.

07:31:29.640 --> 07:31:34.640
I'm just gonna wait for the last one.

07:31:34.640 --> 07:31:39.640
I'm just gonna wait for the last one.

07:32:09.640 --> 07:32:38.320
Welcome back to Pokemon XP. I am Anna here with Rachel and Joshua on the desk coming

07:32:38.320 --> 07:32:44.960
live from Rayquaza Road on day three of Pokemon XP here in San Francisco, California.

07:32:44.960 --> 07:32:48.320
I can't believe we're nearing the end of Pokemon XP.

07:32:48.320 --> 07:32:53.760
I am so excited that we have had such a great weekend and I am so

07:32:54.720 --> 07:32:56.960
dreading but looking forward to the end of today.

07:32:56.960 --> 07:33:00.320
Yeah, but I'm so glad we had so much fun together and I'm so glad I talked to so many people

07:33:00.320 --> 07:33:02.320
and there's still a little bit more that we get to cover, Anna.

07:33:02.320 --> 07:33:05.920
That's right, and we just saw the cosplay showcase and we got a chance to watch a

07:33:05.920 --> 07:33:09.760
little bit of that backstage. I want to hear some of your reactions. What were you thinking?

07:33:09.760 --> 07:33:16.000
So impressed with how it was almost like just a complete replication where they walked out of the

07:33:16.000 --> 07:33:20.720
game or out of the shows or out of the training card game and were there physically, but also

07:33:20.720 --> 07:33:25.600
their choreography. They nailed it. And I have to say, my favorite was the background couple.

07:33:25.600 --> 07:33:27.920
Oh, that one was really good.

07:33:27.920 --> 07:33:32.240
Yeah, yeah. They've been married for seven years. Beautiful story. You could hear the crowd

07:33:32.240 --> 07:33:37.200
just going crazy for them. So it was a great showcase. And Evolutions did such a great job

07:33:37.200 --> 07:33:41.040
hosting. She did such a fantastic job. And in fact, she's going to be joining us very,

07:33:41.040 --> 07:33:45.120
very soon to talk even more about the cosplay showcase. Rachel, what stood out for you?

07:33:45.120 --> 07:33:48.720
Well, you know, I'm fond of people who dress as Corbeau. Really?

07:33:48.720 --> 07:33:52.960
Point of play, banana. Oh, oh, really? Interesting. I've seen so many great Corbeaus around.

07:33:52.960 --> 07:33:56.160
There were two great Corbeaus in the showcase, but one came out with Le Bon,

07:33:56.160 --> 07:34:00.800
and they did that little skit. It was so, so cute. And we finally got Corbeau to do the

07:34:00.800 --> 07:34:06.160
little post. It was so cute. I loved every minute of the showcase. I love Canary. I love seeing a

07:34:06.160 --> 07:34:12.640
lot of Legend Z.A. going on up there. I also thought the end was particularly delicious that

07:34:12.640 --> 07:34:20.640
week. The deep cuts. We had Jessie from when she was in her contest arc. We had Pokemon Conquest.

07:34:20.640 --> 07:34:25.760
Yeah. We had so many great background characters, like you said. It was incredible to know just

07:34:25.760 --> 07:34:30.000
how broad and deep the Pokemon community is just represented by cosplay. And it was so funny.

07:34:30.000 --> 07:34:34.800
our reaction to everyone was almost the same like we'd be like oh cool cool that last one whoa

07:34:35.920 --> 07:34:41.040
oh wow cool cool cool whoa every single and i kept hitting the pose just like the card like you

07:34:41.040 --> 07:34:47.600
said too it was amazing really really fun now we are coming up on talking to evillution's cosplay

07:34:47.600 --> 07:34:52.000
and we have just a few moments before we pull them up on stage but i just want to check in with

07:34:52.000 --> 07:34:55.280
you guys what has been on your mind what's impressing you today as we near the end of

07:34:55.280 --> 07:35:02.400
Pokemon XP. Well besides that Mewtwo jacket, I'm still hoping I can get it on. I am. It has been

07:35:02.400 --> 07:35:07.280
another phenomenal day here at Pokemon XP. Positivity has been contagious all the way around,

07:35:07.280 --> 07:35:13.760
but I would say to be able to dive in with music and soundtracks and to see very talented people

07:35:13.760 --> 07:35:17.920
up here talk about their love of music and for us who've been playing video games for such a long

07:35:17.920 --> 07:35:21.920
time before the voice actors were involved in a number of different games the music really

07:35:21.920 --> 07:35:26.480
carried the character and the vibe and the setting and how profound that really is and

07:35:26.480 --> 07:35:30.840
how much it has stuck with us and to see that continue to evolve in the world of Pokemon

07:35:30.840 --> 07:35:33.960
and to see a number of different artists that have really made a name for themselves in

07:35:33.960 --> 07:35:38.360
the digital space and to see their talents used and enjoyed by so many people here

07:35:38.360 --> 07:35:39.360
at Pokemon XP.

07:35:39.360 --> 07:35:40.360
Mm-hmm.

07:35:40.360 --> 07:35:41.360
What about you, Rachel?

07:35:41.360 --> 07:35:45.400
I was so glad talking to Saichou and Julie who came up who was talking about the process

07:35:45.400 --> 07:35:50.480
of how they make the statues down there and to know that every person at that company

07:35:50.480 --> 07:35:54.720
who touches those statues doesn't just like Pokemon. They don't just think it's neat and

07:35:54.720 --> 07:35:59.080
they don't just want to do right by the community. They truly love it in a way that comes through

07:35:59.080 --> 07:36:03.640
and how they tell their stories and how they use every bit of the statue to really bring

07:36:03.640 --> 07:36:08.800
the world of Pokemon alive. I'm so much more motivated than I was even before to get my

07:36:08.800 --> 07:36:13.000
hands on one of those statues because it means not just a beautiful representation

07:36:13.000 --> 07:36:16.400
of Pokemon, but it's kind of an icon of all the work and love that went into

07:36:16.400 --> 07:36:17.400
it from the team.

07:36:17.400 --> 07:36:20.400
Absolutely. I think Glitter's gonna want to get that Snorlax statue for sure.

07:36:20.400 --> 07:36:26.400
Yeah, for sure. I've also been loving, I love to express my love for Pokemon through what I wear a lot of the time.

07:36:26.400 --> 07:36:31.400
And that also shows up in all ranges of fashion to cosplay.

07:36:31.400 --> 07:36:39.400
And we actually have a nice little video of some of the cosplay you may have seen if you were wandering around here at Pokemon XP. Let's check it out.

07:36:39.400 --> 07:36:45.240
All weekend long I've been sitting on the XP desk watching these beautiful costumes and

07:36:45.240 --> 07:36:49.280
these incredible cosplayers walk by, so now I'm down on the floor and I'm going to find

07:36:49.280 --> 07:36:53.120
some of them to talk to you because I want to see these cosplays up close.

07:36:53.120 --> 07:36:54.120
There's one right now.

07:36:54.120 --> 07:36:56.120
Can you tell me a little bit about your outfit?

07:36:56.120 --> 07:36:57.120
Brilliant.

07:36:57.120 --> 07:37:04.120
Well, you know, I got these clothes for my dad, socks for my dad, socks for my dad.

07:37:04.120 --> 07:37:06.120
And then the trauma for my dad too.

07:37:06.120 --> 07:37:07.120
Yeah, that's true.

07:37:07.120 --> 07:37:08.120
Sorry about that.

07:37:08.120 --> 07:37:09.120
I'll do it.

07:37:09.120 --> 07:37:12.460
I've got two more fabulous outfits, but I just have to ask about the clothes.

07:37:12.460 --> 07:37:15.260
Tell me what you're wearing and walk and give us a little squirrel.

07:37:15.960 --> 07:37:20.260
We are wearing Pokemon Breeder cosplays from Leif Green and Fire Red.

07:37:20.600 --> 07:37:25.260
And they're just characters that are non playable and they are trainers.

07:37:25.260 --> 07:37:28.240
You can battle them in the game and they're usually located in your nursery

07:37:28.380 --> 07:37:31.940
where you drop off your Pokemon to help level them up and or breed them to get

07:37:32.440 --> 07:37:34.120
a new baby sort of thing.

07:37:34.120 --> 07:37:36.880
Well, this is a 360 look, so let's see it.

07:37:36.880 --> 07:37:45.880
Give us a twirl. Yes, fabulous. So glad you're representing the underrepresented NPCs and you both look incredible.

07:37:45.880 --> 07:37:47.880
Thank you.

07:37:47.880 --> 07:37:54.880
Of course, while I'm stopping the best dress that I see around Rayquaza Road, I had to stop this beautiful creature right here.

07:37:54.880 --> 07:37:56.880
You look incredible. Tell me what you're wearing.

07:37:56.880 --> 07:38:01.880
I got some Pokemon colors, custom. I got my rocket shirt.

07:38:01.880 --> 07:38:02.880
Nice.

07:38:02.880 --> 07:38:05.880
And then I have some Pokemon on my watch.

07:38:05.880 --> 07:38:07.880
And that's the look.

07:38:07.880 --> 07:38:08.880
Magnifique.

07:38:08.880 --> 07:38:09.880
I found another incredible look.

07:38:09.880 --> 07:38:11.880
I have to say, you look amazing.

07:38:11.880 --> 07:38:12.880
Tell me about your fit.

07:38:12.880 --> 07:38:15.880
Now, here is another great outfit that I have seen around Rayquaza Road.

07:38:15.880 --> 07:38:16.880
I had to stop you.

07:38:16.880 --> 07:38:17.880
Tell me what you're wearing.

07:38:17.880 --> 07:38:18.880
Tell me what's far the fit.

07:38:18.880 --> 07:38:20.880
Well, we're in the Bay Area.

07:38:20.880 --> 07:38:22.880
We got some limited edition kicks.

07:38:22.880 --> 07:38:25.880
A lot of black because of Team Rocket, you know?

07:38:25.880 --> 07:38:29.880
Lots of pockets for some Pokemon that we borrow.

07:38:29.880 --> 07:38:31.880
Borrow.

07:38:31.880 --> 07:38:38.880
Well, I would honestly say you look amazing as well with the suit, it's very, very official.

07:38:38.880 --> 07:38:41.880
Not like a grunt, but the grunts, you know, someone's got to do the work.

07:38:41.880 --> 07:38:47.240
Alright, box, I'm just going super cashed in it with the, you know, soft shorts, walking

07:38:47.240 --> 07:38:51.480
shoes, and then got to represent, you know, my corporation, organized crime.

07:38:51.480 --> 07:38:53.480
Are these uniform regulation shorts?

07:38:53.480 --> 07:38:54.480
Sure, why not?

07:38:54.480 --> 07:38:55.480
Got to do that.

07:38:55.480 --> 07:38:58.960
And I got to rep the R for Team Rocket.

07:38:58.960 --> 07:39:04.400
And of course, the Pokeball, the iconic Pokeball, there's a Zubat in here, because that is also

07:39:04.400 --> 07:39:08.200
an iconic team like the Pokeball one, but yeah, that's it.

07:39:08.200 --> 07:39:09.200
Looking good.

07:39:09.200 --> 07:39:10.200
Thank you.

07:39:10.200 --> 07:39:11.200
Get back out there and get to work.

07:39:11.200 --> 07:39:12.200
Definitely.

07:39:12.200 --> 07:39:18.800
Hello, and welcome to Pokemon XD.

07:39:18.800 --> 07:39:23.120
We're having so much fun here chatting about cosplay, and to do that with us, we have

07:39:23.120 --> 07:39:25.040
a new guest at the desk.

07:39:25.040 --> 07:39:26.040
Welcome.

07:39:26.040 --> 07:39:27.320
Please introduce yourself to the people at home.

07:39:27.320 --> 07:39:28.320
Hi everyone.

07:39:28.320 --> 07:39:31.820
Hello, I'm from Hawaii. I'm evolution cosplay and today I'm cosplaying as

07:39:31.820 --> 07:39:36.560
Erica, the Celadon City Gym Leader. And we just saw you on stage at the cosplay

07:39:36.560 --> 07:39:41.520
showcase. Tell us what it was and how it was. Oh my gosh, it's just incredible. We

07:39:41.520 --> 07:39:44.880
had such a lineup of amazing characters all the way from the beginning from

07:39:44.880 --> 07:39:50.040
Ash to all to Legends DA. So to see the incredible lineup of talent and

07:39:50.040 --> 07:39:53.480
characters to really celebrate the last 30 years of Pokemon has been

07:39:53.480 --> 07:39:57.040
just amazing. I also heard you giving a lot of information about how

07:39:57.040 --> 07:40:01.000
people went about making their costumes and I think some people at home may not

07:40:01.000 --> 07:40:05.160
be familiar with cosplay they may have assumed it's a skill that they could

07:40:05.160 --> 07:40:08.880
never start up with or it may be something that they like they know how

07:40:08.880 --> 07:40:11.600
to sew but they're not sure that they can cosplay what what would you say to

07:40:11.600 --> 07:40:15.840
someone that that was shown off in the cosplay showcase about how to start

07:40:15.840 --> 07:40:18.840
if you want to cosplay well definitely the first thing to start with

07:40:18.840 --> 07:40:22.800
cosplaying is to always cosplay the character that you love and that you

07:40:22.800 --> 07:40:26.160
admire or that you relate to there are so many people who chose characters

07:40:26.160 --> 07:40:31.880
that they personally related to and that love for them really drove them to create the cosplays

07:40:31.880 --> 07:40:36.400
that they have. And a lot of the cosplayers were saying that they drifted their cosplays

07:40:36.400 --> 07:40:42.040
or recycled materials. So cosplay doesn't have to be complicated or expensive so anybody

07:40:42.040 --> 07:40:45.080
can cosplay which is a little creativity and a lot of love.

07:40:45.080 --> 07:40:46.080
Love that.

07:40:46.080 --> 07:40:49.960
Your cosplay is Erica today. First of all, love it. One of my favorite gym leaders.

07:40:49.960 --> 07:40:53.680
But tell us a little bit about your look and why you're inspired to cosplay Erica.

07:40:53.680 --> 07:40:58.200
I just love the original one-five, original Kanto series.

07:40:58.200 --> 07:41:01.120
That's what I grew up when Pokemon Express introduced me.

07:41:01.120 --> 07:41:05.280
And Erica has just always been such a standard character for me.

07:41:05.280 --> 07:41:08.400
I loved her how graceful and beautiful she was.

07:41:08.400 --> 07:41:10.600
I love the way that she wore her outfits.

07:41:10.600 --> 07:41:13.520
And so recently, the TCG of Sandy Carolls

07:41:13.520 --> 07:41:15.520
came out with Erica's Tengla.

07:41:15.520 --> 07:41:17.880
So I really want to recreate that look here.

07:41:17.880 --> 07:41:19.000
You did a beautiful job.

07:41:19.000 --> 07:41:20.600
I love the outfit head to toe.

07:41:20.600 --> 07:41:22.280
And what a wonderful example you are,

07:41:22.280 --> 07:41:27.280
not just in your cosplay, but how you bring the community together for the cosplay community.

07:41:27.280 --> 07:41:29.280
No, I really love it.

07:41:29.280 --> 07:41:35.280
Cosmic community is just an amazing way to relate to one another, connect with one another

07:41:35.280 --> 07:41:40.280
for everybody's love of Pokemon. No one is left out, and it's such a cozy community to be a part of.

07:41:40.280 --> 07:41:45.280
You did such a phenomenal job on stage because there was a lot of different cosplay to get through.

07:41:45.280 --> 07:41:47.280
Your energy was impeccable.

07:41:47.280 --> 07:41:53.280
you were able to really showcase each of these different individuals put so much hard work into their cosplays

07:41:53.280 --> 07:41:57.780
I always like to be on stage to be able to showcase all these people that came here at Pokemon XP

07:41:57.780 --> 07:42:03.780
Oh, it's such an honor. I'm usually the person on stage walking for that 30 seconds that minute

07:42:03.780 --> 07:42:09.780
So it's a lot very, it can be very, you know, stressful, a lot of, it's scary

07:42:09.780 --> 07:42:13.280
So to be there the whole time to introduce such amazing talent

07:42:13.280 --> 07:42:17.360
talent, both both an honor and just a little bit scary, but I'm so glad with

07:42:17.360 --> 07:42:21.160
how it went. You couldn't tell that you were scared. That's okay. I mean for us,

07:42:21.160 --> 07:42:25.360
we're on stage all the time. We're able to see a lot of different people both

07:42:25.360 --> 07:42:29.640
here physically and from home to interact with them. And so once again, an

07:42:29.640 --> 07:42:32.880
amazing job and I'm sure all the cosplayers felt that energy to be

07:42:32.880 --> 07:42:35.440
able to be showcased and put all that hard work in front of a live

07:42:35.440 --> 07:42:38.540
audience. The audience was fantastic as well. We loved the audience. They were

07:42:38.540 --> 07:42:42.680
cheering them on just as hard as we're cheering them at home too. Did

07:42:42.680 --> 07:42:44.160
You see anyone in the audience,

07:42:44.160 --> 07:42:45.880
because we were watching mostly you,

07:42:45.880 --> 07:42:47.160
but you were looking out into the audience.

07:42:47.160 --> 07:42:49.160
Were there any shout-outs that you wanna give of like,

07:42:49.160 --> 07:42:51.480
oh, I saw a cool hat, or I saw a cool cosplay

07:42:51.480 --> 07:42:53.760
in the audience, anything you saw that we might not have?

07:42:53.760 --> 07:42:56.360
You know, my eyes always go to anyone

07:42:56.360 --> 07:42:57.520
who's right, evolutionist.

07:42:57.520 --> 07:42:59.880
So I saw a pair of silly odd ears out there,

07:42:59.880 --> 07:43:01.800
and my eye just keeps going to them,

07:43:01.800 --> 07:43:04.680
and, you know, that's always in my heart too.

07:43:04.680 --> 07:43:08.320
I have seen your cosplays of the EV evolution.

07:43:08.320 --> 07:43:11.040
They are fantastic, the way you interpret them.

07:43:11.040 --> 07:43:14.760
and you brought some of that to Pokemon XP.

07:43:14.760 --> 07:43:16.760
You were doing the workshops of the ears, right?

07:43:16.760 --> 07:43:17.800
Can you tell us about that?

07:43:17.800 --> 07:43:19.680
Yes, so I had the wonderful opportunity

07:43:19.680 --> 07:43:23.120
to run another workshop called the Air Band.

07:43:23.120 --> 07:43:25.440
Last year at Anaheim, we had the EV Air Band.

07:43:25.440 --> 07:43:27.040
This year we've evolved it.

07:43:27.040 --> 07:43:31.280
So I had participants make Umbreon earbands this year.

07:43:31.280 --> 07:43:32.800
I've seen so many of them walk around

07:43:32.800 --> 07:43:34.760
and I get so much joy every time I do it.

07:43:34.760 --> 07:43:36.280
Why did you choose Umbreon?

07:43:36.280 --> 07:43:39.640
Well, Umbreon is World's 2026 Pokemon XP.

07:43:39.640 --> 07:43:40.640
It's one of the mascots.

07:43:40.640 --> 07:43:47.160
We saw it in the drone show, we saw it in the opening animated series, the animated video,

07:43:47.160 --> 07:43:51.600
and so, and Umbriash is one of those characters that everybody loves of the evolution, so of

07:43:51.600 --> 07:43:56.000
course you might as well bring it here to world because it was so represented.

07:43:56.000 --> 07:43:58.000
I think I saw you.

07:43:58.000 --> 07:44:01.120
Josh, I have to do it, I have to do it.

07:44:01.120 --> 07:44:09.520
I have to because not only is she so phenomenal, it's teachable, it's teachable, this is

07:44:09.520 --> 07:44:12.520
of Pokemon that I'm starting to fall in love with as well.

07:44:12.520 --> 07:44:15.320
But, Evelish, you are so good at the workshops,

07:44:15.320 --> 07:44:18.640
and that was one element here at Pokemon XP

07:44:18.640 --> 07:44:20.640
that a lot of people have got to enjoy,

07:44:20.640 --> 07:44:22.000
and we were able to enjoy it today.

07:44:22.000 --> 07:44:23.440
We've been pretty busy here at the desk.

07:44:23.440 --> 07:44:24.960
I've enjoyed every pair that's gone by.

07:44:24.960 --> 07:44:25.800
Oh, yeah.

07:44:27.000 --> 07:44:28.480
You are so good at what you do.

07:44:28.480 --> 07:44:30.520
You're able to teach people to put these together.

07:44:30.520 --> 07:44:32.800
And so, what's it like to put together a workshop

07:44:32.800 --> 07:44:34.280
to design the different steps

07:44:34.280 --> 07:44:36.360
and to lead people through the process?

07:44:36.360 --> 07:44:39.280
By the way, I was only able to make that half of these,

07:44:39.280 --> 07:44:40.480
and you gave these to me.

07:44:40.480 --> 07:44:44.040
So, Evolutions is the one that was able to put them together.

07:44:44.040 --> 07:44:48.360
So, overall, what does it take to create something

07:44:48.360 --> 07:44:51.000
that people can follow along and have so much joy together?

07:44:51.000 --> 07:44:53.520
I think for this particular workshop is

07:44:53.520 --> 07:44:55.360
that we really want to keep it accessible.

07:44:55.360 --> 07:44:58.440
We want to keep it easy, kid-friendly, beginner-friendly.

07:44:58.440 --> 07:45:01.160
We want to use materials that anybody could find at home

07:45:01.160 --> 07:45:03.200
that was also easy to work with.

07:45:03.200 --> 07:45:06.000
And so, it was really, my background is teaching.

07:45:06.000 --> 07:45:07.000
So, I teach younger kids.

07:45:07.000 --> 07:45:08.960
So, in my head, I was like, could this be something

07:45:08.960 --> 07:45:13.120
that I could teach my students to do in a timely manner and that they could follow

07:45:13.120 --> 07:45:17.400
along which is a little bit of help and so that's where it all came about to

07:45:17.400 --> 07:45:21.880
making sure that each step each material was able to be accessible and

07:45:21.880 --> 07:45:26.720
teachable to all. What is it like watching so many people make something

07:45:26.720 --> 07:45:30.440
that you kind of conceived of yourself how does that feel? Oh my god it makes

07:45:30.440 --> 07:45:36.400
me so giddy. To see my little umbra on army walking out with their ears all

07:45:36.400 --> 07:45:38.400
Each of them have different personalities.

07:45:38.400 --> 07:45:40.400
We give them time to decorate however they want it.

07:45:40.400 --> 07:45:43.400
We had jewels and stars to go with the Space Galaxy.

07:45:43.400 --> 07:45:46.400
We had florals, which is always a hit, with the Yerba grinding too,

07:45:46.400 --> 07:45:48.400
to go out there to decorate them as well.

07:45:48.400 --> 07:45:52.400
So it just makes me so happy to see them to have so much joy

07:45:52.400 --> 07:45:54.400
to be able to experience just a little bit of cosplay,

07:45:54.400 --> 07:45:56.400
even if they're not used to it.

07:45:56.400 --> 07:45:58.400
I didn't think about how it's almost like in a video game,

07:45:58.400 --> 07:46:01.400
you marked them as people that you have seen and talked to.

07:46:01.400 --> 07:46:04.400
It's like, ah, yes, all of the people I have touched here

07:46:04.400 --> 07:46:10.700
Pokemon XP. That's so cool. I know also that you talked about you have so much

07:46:10.700 --> 07:46:13.880
experience with cosplay but you had to look at this like you said and find

07:46:13.880 --> 07:46:17.300
materials that people could find at home and things and and really iterate

07:46:17.300 --> 07:46:21.160
through it. Was this version the version you started with or did you

07:46:21.160 --> 07:46:24.560
did you kind of edit it as you went to make it something that was a fit for

07:46:24.560 --> 07:46:29.820
the convention here? What's the situation was that there's no

07:46:29.820 --> 07:46:33.620
hot glue. I want to keep everything safe. That's a tool that a lot of cosplays

07:46:33.620 --> 07:46:37.400
of myself use back at home, but you know in this space we want to keep a kid

07:46:37.400 --> 07:46:40.820
friendly, we want to keep it safe, and so I think that was a little bit tricky to use.

07:46:40.820 --> 07:46:58.900
We used double-sided tape that you were able to use. We made our work, and so what I like about is that this was kind of started from the EVA brand last year. We just changed the shape for it for this year. So the step-by-step process you could use for any type of evolution ear or any type of

07:46:58.900 --> 07:47:02.800
Pokemon really. So I think that was the beauty of this particular workshop is that

07:47:02.800 --> 07:47:07.120
you could take it as a base and then treat whatever Pokemon you're actually

07:47:07.120 --> 07:47:11.800
wanted. With running the workshop last year, now running the workshop this year,

07:47:11.800 --> 07:47:16.360
have any of your young students kind of graduated to maybe a full cosplay or?

07:47:16.360 --> 07:47:20.560
I don't know if anyone particularly from that, but from my years of like

07:47:20.560 --> 07:47:24.120
meeting some, from last year meeting them from like a regional, I've had

07:47:24.120 --> 07:47:28.720
people come up to me and say that they or see my videos or on my social

07:47:28.720 --> 07:47:31.420
that they've been inspired to start cosplay.

07:47:31.420 --> 07:47:32.880
And again, it just has to be simple.

07:47:32.880 --> 07:47:34.520
It doesn't have to be big,

07:47:34.520 --> 07:47:36.120
but just taking that small step first

07:47:36.120 --> 07:47:37.240
can always be the challenge,

07:47:37.240 --> 07:47:39.800
but it's such a big step to taking your cosplay journey.

07:47:39.800 --> 07:47:41.920
And the materials that were used for this,

07:47:41.920 --> 07:47:43.440
not to reveal too many of the secrets,

07:47:43.440 --> 07:47:48.160
but felt some, I want to call them pipe cleaners.

07:47:48.160 --> 07:47:49.000
Pipe cleaners?

07:47:49.000 --> 07:47:49.840
Pipe cleaners.

07:47:49.840 --> 07:47:51.440
And then, as you mentioned, the glue

07:47:51.440 --> 07:47:52.840
and double-sided tape.

07:47:52.840 --> 07:47:56.360
But how effective it looks just with those materials.

07:47:56.360 --> 07:47:57.680
And so to get started to me,

07:47:57.680 --> 07:47:59.720
I was like, if I had these materials, especially

07:47:59.720 --> 07:48:02.360
to create a template and then build from there,

07:48:02.360 --> 07:48:04.360
I think it would be really good steps to get started.

07:48:04.360 --> 07:48:05.800
Are there any materials that you find

07:48:05.800 --> 07:48:08.560
to be more difficult to work with?

07:48:08.560 --> 07:48:11.840
And maybe after you've graduated through the first prototype

07:48:11.840 --> 07:48:14.440
to then go deeper into the design

07:48:14.440 --> 07:48:16.760
and the final completion of the Cosquit?

07:48:16.760 --> 07:48:18.960
Oh, if we're talking about ears, Beaufer.

07:48:18.960 --> 07:48:21.160
Beaufer is the thing that we're going to have to work with.

07:48:21.160 --> 07:48:22.560
But that's probably for me in particular.

07:48:22.560 --> 07:48:24.680
I try to play Beaufer as much as possible.

07:48:24.680 --> 07:48:27.560
So felt is, even though it's a beginner friendly fabric,

07:48:27.560 --> 07:48:29.460
It's something that I still continue to use,

07:48:29.460 --> 07:48:31.920
even in my more intricate cosplay builds.

07:48:31.920 --> 07:48:34.600
And so it just goes to show that you can take

07:48:34.600 --> 07:48:36.800
such a simple material and elevate it

07:48:36.800 --> 07:48:39.960
to look even cooler in the final product.

07:48:39.960 --> 07:48:41.760
You've been around here at, like you said,

07:48:41.760 --> 07:48:42.840
Regionals Worlds.

07:48:42.840 --> 07:48:44.840
I've met you before at events here

07:48:44.840 --> 07:48:46.240
and it's been such a pleasure.

07:48:46.240 --> 07:48:47.680
So I would love to hear from you

07:48:47.680 --> 07:48:50.800
as someone who has watched these events evolve.

07:48:50.800 --> 07:48:53.160
What it's like to be at the first ever Pokemon XP.

07:48:53.160 --> 07:48:54.000
How does it feel?

07:48:54.000 --> 07:48:54.840
What's it like?

07:48:54.840 --> 07:48:57.200
I feel so incredibly fortunate

07:48:57.200 --> 07:49:00.680
to be able to celebrate here with Pokemon's 30th anniversary.

07:49:00.680 --> 07:49:02.980
Our first, I've been cosplaying for a while now,

07:49:02.980 --> 07:49:05.680
but my first world was back in my hometown,

07:49:05.680 --> 07:49:09.120
Hollywood World's 2024, and that just opened a flood gate

07:49:09.120 --> 07:49:12.360
to see that Pokemon has evolved so much through the years,

07:49:12.360 --> 07:49:15.240
different franchises, different communities,

07:49:15.240 --> 07:49:18.360
and to see that I can include that Cosplay niche

07:49:18.360 --> 07:49:21.480
in Pokemon XP with the Cosplay Showcase,

07:49:21.480 --> 07:49:23.520
with the workshop, I think it's incredible

07:49:23.520 --> 07:49:26.120
that Pokemon is also embracing Cosplay

07:49:26.120 --> 07:49:30.160
as a way for fans to show their enjoyment for the franchise.

07:49:30.160 --> 07:49:33.560
Is there a Pokemon cosplay that you are conceiving of now

07:49:33.560 --> 07:49:36.040
that you would be really excited to debut?

07:49:36.040 --> 07:49:38.080
Oh, I'm in so cosplayed out,

07:49:38.080 --> 07:49:40.640
getting bored in cosplays made for worlds.

07:49:40.640 --> 07:49:42.160
It's something I love to do.

07:49:42.160 --> 07:49:45.480
You know, I would love to do more gym leaders,

07:49:45.480 --> 07:49:48.240
more gym leaders, but I also really wanna do

07:49:48.240 --> 07:49:49.240
a Saida cosplay.

07:49:49.240 --> 07:49:51.960
After EVE's evolution, just put it left field.

07:49:51.960 --> 07:49:53.920
Like Saida is one of my other favorite Pokemon.

07:49:53.920 --> 07:49:56.040
I would love to see your interpretation of Saida.

07:49:56.040 --> 07:49:57.500
That sounds incredible.

07:49:57.500 --> 07:49:59.320
What would be the most challenging thing about putting

07:49:59.320 --> 07:50:00.840
together a side of cosplay?

07:50:00.840 --> 07:50:03.000
It's a little feat, a little web speed.

07:50:03.000 --> 07:50:04.640
How to interpret that into a cosplay.

07:50:04.640 --> 07:50:07.360
Maybe his beacon bell would be.

07:50:07.360 --> 07:50:08.760
So it's also taking those features

07:50:08.760 --> 07:50:10.440
that are Pokemon as well truly known for.

07:50:10.440 --> 07:50:13.760
And how do you reinterpret that into the human form?

07:50:13.760 --> 07:50:15.080
And I'm sure it was surprising maybe

07:50:15.080 --> 07:50:17.080
to see some of those interpretations

07:50:17.080 --> 07:50:19.720
or reinterpretations here at Pokemon XP.

07:50:19.720 --> 07:50:21.480
That's a weird situation there.

07:50:21.480 --> 07:50:22.960
The surprise, especially how people

07:50:22.960 --> 07:50:25.080
are able to interpret some of these more maybe

07:50:25.080 --> 07:50:27.560
difficult aspects of putting together a cosplay.

07:50:27.560 --> 07:50:29.680
Oh, it's so incredible to see the creativity.

07:50:29.680 --> 07:50:33.440
Some people use their wigs to mimic ears.

07:50:33.440 --> 07:50:36.760
Some people maybe use a bag to mimic the tail.

07:50:36.760 --> 07:50:38.120
And just seeing even like,

07:50:38.120 --> 07:50:39.680
I love different fabric choices.

07:50:39.680 --> 07:50:43.920
And so seeing what other people use to recreate like fur

07:50:43.920 --> 07:50:48.240
or maybe stales has been so inspirational

07:50:48.240 --> 07:50:50.480
to see walking just around here.

07:50:50.480 --> 07:50:51.440
And like, oh, I want to use that

07:50:51.440 --> 07:50:53.600
for my next cosplay idea.

07:50:53.600 --> 07:51:00.280
We also, we've chatted a ton about cosplay because obviously you're such an expert of it, but we know there's other ways you engage with Pokemon as well.

07:51:00.280 --> 07:51:07.280
What other ways do you like to engage with Pokemon? The games, Pokopia, TCG, collecting, what do you like to do in Pokemon?

07:51:07.280 --> 07:51:16.560
I found, again, since Honolulu World, I found such a joy to be able to go to my local game shops, to go to Pokemon Play Nights, to be able to learn the TCG.

07:51:16.560 --> 07:51:20.240
So I'm able, and the people have been so welcoming

07:51:20.240 --> 07:51:21.840
if you go to these Pokemon nights

07:51:21.840 --> 07:51:24.040
is that they want you to learn how to do the TCG.

07:51:24.040 --> 07:51:26.360
It's not, it could seem scary,

07:51:26.360 --> 07:51:28.960
but they are so willing to help you build a deck,

07:51:28.960 --> 07:51:30.120
practice the deck.

07:51:30.120 --> 07:51:32.920
And I just made so many new friends there

07:51:32.920 --> 07:51:35.480
that have helped me even make a deck here today.

07:51:35.480 --> 07:51:38.760
I wanted to make an Erica deck to play as Erica.

07:51:38.760 --> 07:51:40.680
And so I've had friends at those nights

07:51:40.680 --> 07:51:43.720
help me to put it together and practice it too.

07:51:43.720 --> 07:51:54.280
Yeah, I also, I just happened to know that you also collect TCG because we were chatting online about the black and white promos of the EV evolution.

07:51:54.280 --> 07:51:58.380
Yes. Is that right? Yes. I brought something for you. Oh no, what?

07:51:58.380 --> 07:52:06.380
And it's been very excited. I have been very excited about it. So this is so cool. There's this particular promo set of the EV evolution. No, you didn't.

07:52:06.380 --> 07:52:13.180
black and white from 2013 that I got into collecting and I started posting about it online and then

07:52:13.180 --> 07:52:17.180
someone reached out to me and was like I actually have that full set and I think it would bring you

07:52:17.180 --> 07:52:22.140
more joy I want to gift it to you. I argued with them I was like please can I trade you something

07:52:22.140 --> 07:52:26.460
they're like no please let me gift it to you so I want to pay forward the ones I already had

07:52:26.460 --> 07:52:31.740
and you need the lithium right? I do need the lithium. Okay okay wow will you please accept

07:52:31.740 --> 07:52:33.740
Oh, oh, oh!

07:52:33.740 --> 07:52:35.740
Yeah, are you sure?

07:52:35.740 --> 07:52:37.740
Yes, please!

07:52:37.740 --> 07:52:39.740
There you go.

07:52:39.740 --> 07:52:41.740
I love it.

07:52:41.740 --> 07:52:43.740
This will go into my special evolution bider.

07:52:43.740 --> 07:52:45.740
I love it. Thank you so much.

07:52:45.740 --> 07:52:47.740
Yeah, my pleasure. I'm so glad you like it.

07:52:47.740 --> 07:52:49.740
Okay, thank you.

07:52:49.740 --> 07:52:51.740
Thank you for letting me gift you something on stream.

07:52:51.740 --> 07:52:53.740
I was very, very excited about it.

07:52:53.740 --> 07:52:55.740
It's so sneaky!

07:52:55.740 --> 07:52:57.740
If people want to follow along with your adventures,

07:52:57.740 --> 07:52:59.740
get to know you. Where can they find you on the internet?

07:52:59.740 --> 07:53:08.060
I'm mainly known on Instagram evolution underscore cosplay. You see a lot of my builds. You also see my sister. She's here to

07:53:08.940 --> 07:53:12.020
Shout out to her at Saratone and she has been an incredible

07:53:12.740 --> 07:53:16.020
Support to me here. I couldn't have done this without her. So

07:53:16.540 --> 07:53:23.380
Big shout out to her so you'll see both me and her on my channel as we explore and adventure into our Pokemon journeys

07:53:23.540 --> 07:53:25.620
Thank you so much for spending time with us

07:53:25.620 --> 07:53:31.280
It has been such a pleasure and don't go anywhere because we still have a little bit more Pokemon XP coming your way

07:55:55.620 --> 07:56:09.860
Welcome back to Pokemon XP.

07:56:09.860 --> 07:56:14.220
We just had a good time saying farewell to Edulition's cosplay.

07:56:14.220 --> 07:56:16.580
Love, love that little team, the sister team.

07:56:16.580 --> 07:56:17.580
They're so nice.

07:56:17.580 --> 07:56:18.580
Phenomenal.

07:56:18.580 --> 07:56:19.580
Really phenomenal.

07:56:19.580 --> 07:56:22.580
And to see it in person and to see how much effort and energy, especially for young

07:56:22.580 --> 07:56:26.900
kids to be able to do the arts and crafts with their parents. I got to sneak in and do a little bit

07:56:26.900 --> 07:56:31.140
with them and it just it brought me back to my childhood and also to try to use the little

07:56:31.140 --> 07:56:36.500
kids safety scissors. That was a little bit tough but I really hope we get to see more evolutions

07:56:36.500 --> 07:56:41.700
in the future phenomenal work. And how great is it that she's like oh I found my nation the

07:56:41.700 --> 07:56:46.660
Pokemon community and I'm going to use it to bring all these other people into my nation into

07:56:46.660 --> 07:56:50.180
the Pokemon community. So that is exactly what I'm talking about when somebody has an incredible

07:56:50.180 --> 07:56:55.740
skill and it matches up with Pokemon, it just brings in more wonderful people and more great

07:56:55.740 --> 07:56:56.740
stuff.

07:56:56.740 --> 07:57:01.540
You've been mentioning like the next generation of Pokemon a few times and I literally said

07:57:01.540 --> 07:57:06.260
to my nephew they were leaving today and I was like you know I've been waiting for

07:57:06.260 --> 07:57:11.940
this moment since you were born and he was like I know and it was a weird realization

07:57:11.940 --> 07:57:14.460
that was he handing you a pack at the time?

07:57:14.460 --> 07:57:18.620
We had just opened a few together.

07:57:18.620 --> 07:57:19.620
What a blessing to hear.

07:57:19.620 --> 07:57:21.620
you want to rip some packs.

07:57:21.620 --> 07:57:23.620
That's why we do it.

07:57:23.620 --> 07:57:25.620
Oh my gosh, what a pleasure.

07:57:25.620 --> 07:57:27.620
And, you know, we're coming to the end of the day.

07:57:27.620 --> 07:57:29.620
Stop saying that.

07:57:29.620 --> 07:57:31.620
It's my job. It's my job to say that.

07:57:31.620 --> 07:57:33.620
To keep us on track, tell us what time it is.

07:57:33.620 --> 07:57:35.620
We still have a lot coming though.

07:57:35.620 --> 07:57:37.620
What are you two looking forward to

07:57:37.620 --> 07:57:39.620
in the few hours we have left?

07:57:39.620 --> 07:57:41.620
Well, let's be honest.

07:57:41.620 --> 07:57:43.620
The potential for announcements.

07:57:43.620 --> 07:57:45.620
A little bit later today.

07:57:45.620 --> 07:57:47.620
Closing ceremonies is going to be a phenomenal event.

07:57:47.620 --> 07:57:52.860
event. It's going to be taking place at Chase of Rina. I was super excited to talk to Evan

07:57:52.860 --> 07:57:57.740
Hashimoto, Wondershift. Fantastic commentator cast from the world of Pokemon, but to be

07:57:57.740 --> 07:58:03.460
able to be at that arena and see the light show, to see the stage, to see the production

07:58:03.460 --> 07:58:06.700
quality that this team has put together. That's one of the things I'm very excited

07:58:06.700 --> 07:58:07.700
for.

07:58:07.700 --> 07:58:09.020
What about you Rachel?

07:58:09.020 --> 07:58:11.740
I am actually pretty excited for this game show too. I've been watching the God

07:58:11.740 --> 07:58:15.180
on Catcher Mall game shows. I think Brian David Gilbert is the host. We've seen

07:58:15.180 --> 07:58:21.040
a lot of great Pokemon creators who have the community kind of come on and it's the

07:58:21.040 --> 07:58:22.840
funny moments that are generated, right?

07:58:22.840 --> 07:58:26.000
We all love talking about Pokemon, so to watch people kind of compete about Pokemon

07:58:26.000 --> 07:58:32.120
as we've seen in some of our competition panels, it brings another level to the engagement,

07:58:32.120 --> 07:58:34.640
to the investment, and you're gonna laugh.

07:58:34.640 --> 07:58:36.760
I promise you will laugh during this next panel.

07:58:36.760 --> 07:58:38.080
Alright, laughs are promised.

07:58:38.080 --> 07:58:39.680
Well, let's check it out right now.

07:58:39.680 --> 07:58:40.920
Gotta catch them all game show.

07:58:40.920 --> 07:58:41.920
Let's go.

08:03:11.920 --> 08:03:23.920
All right, who's ready to close out Pokemon XP with style?

08:03:23.920 --> 08:03:25.920
Thank you all so much for joining us.

08:03:25.920 --> 08:03:29.920
It's been an incredible weekend here at the Pokemon XP stage.

08:03:29.920 --> 08:03:35.920
And we couldn't think of any better way than to close out the show with the God of Ketchum All Game show.

08:03:35.920 --> 08:03:38.920
Who here is familiar with the God of Ketchum All Game show?

08:03:38.920 --> 08:03:40.920
Absolutely.

08:03:40.920 --> 08:03:43.280
It's not me trippin' with our wonderful host,

08:03:43.280 --> 08:03:45.120
Mr. Brian David Gilbert, right?

08:03:45.120 --> 08:03:49.480
Can I let you all in on a secret?

08:03:49.480 --> 08:03:50.600
Don't tell anybody.

08:03:50.600 --> 08:03:53.280
Brian is backstage right now.

08:03:55.920 --> 08:03:57.480
But Brian won't come out.

08:03:57.480 --> 08:04:00.200
I'll let you make some noise!

08:04:00.200 --> 08:04:01.040
Stop!

08:04:05.440 --> 08:04:08.480
If you're ready for the final event of the PXP,

08:04:08.480 --> 08:04:10.000
let's get a chant going.

08:04:10.000 --> 08:04:12.000
B-D-G.

08:04:12.120 --> 08:04:14.120
B-D-G.

08:04:14.120 --> 08:04:16.120
B-D-G.

08:04:16.120 --> 08:04:18.120
B-D-G.

08:04:18.120 --> 08:04:19.400
B-D-G.

08:04:19.400 --> 08:04:23.800
Everybody, please welcome to the stage Brian Damon Gilbert.

08:04:23.800 --> 08:04:25.800
I

08:04:53.800 --> 08:05:03.800
Hello, Pokemon XP!

08:05:03.800 --> 08:05:11.800
Hello, hello, hello, hello, what a crowd!

08:05:11.800 --> 08:05:18.800
Oh my goodness, hello, Trainers, and welcome to the God of Catch-N-Val Game Show Live!

08:05:18.800 --> 08:05:22.240
closing out Pokemon XP, how has your weekend been?

08:05:22.240 --> 08:05:26.360
Pretty good, pretty good.

08:05:26.360 --> 08:05:29.400
Oh my goodness, it truly has been an incredible weekend

08:05:29.400 --> 08:05:32.960
and I'm so grateful that you all chose to come out here

08:05:32.960 --> 08:05:36.080
and hang out with us as we close it all up

08:05:36.080 --> 08:05:38.880
alongside our usual selection

08:05:38.880 --> 08:05:42.460
of Gotta Catch em All game show questionable questions.

08:05:42.460 --> 08:05:45.800
We will have our three glorious guests,

08:05:45.800 --> 08:05:48.280
our amazing audience and at home

08:05:48.280 --> 08:05:51.580
We have some terrific trainers on Twitch chat,

08:05:51.580 --> 08:05:54.440
and we're all gonna be playing this game together

08:05:54.440 --> 08:05:55.720
at the same time.

08:05:55.720 --> 08:05:57.440
So, how do we play?

08:05:57.440 --> 08:05:59.320
Very good question, very good question.

08:05:59.320 --> 08:06:03.240
We've got a quick explainer that previous Bryan

08:06:03.240 --> 08:06:05.920
is going to do, so why don't we go ahead

08:06:05.920 --> 08:06:08.560
and hit him with that explainer production, shall we?

08:06:10.560 --> 08:06:15.040
I've gotta catch him all.

08:06:15.040 --> 08:06:17.560
Game show is a multiple choice trivia quiz

08:06:17.560 --> 08:06:19.000
with a twist.

08:06:19.000 --> 08:06:21.360
Each question has a Pokemon attached to it.

08:06:21.360 --> 08:06:23.160
To win the game, you need to have all four

08:06:23.160 --> 08:06:26.920
of these victory Pokemon in your collection at the same time.

08:06:26.920 --> 08:06:30.120
Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and of course Pikachu.

08:06:30.120 --> 08:06:31.920
The Pokemon you collect in the quiz each have

08:06:31.920 --> 08:06:34.840
a one-time effect which can be broken into four categories.

08:06:34.840 --> 08:06:37.200
There are supportive Pokemon which have positive effects

08:06:37.200 --> 08:06:38.520
that help you shape the game.

08:06:38.520 --> 08:06:40.520
And there are disruptive Pokemon which bring

08:06:40.520 --> 08:06:43.880
a bunch of negative effects that aggravate your opponents.

08:06:43.880 --> 08:06:46.040
Both groups only require a single copy

08:06:46.040 --> 08:06:49.220
of a certain Pokémon in your collection to use its effect.

08:06:49.220 --> 08:06:53.800
Then we have Victory Pokémon, the main win condition of the game, with effects so powerful

08:06:53.800 --> 08:06:57.640
that they require two of the same Pokémon in your collection to use them.

08:06:57.640 --> 08:07:01.960
And finally, Magikarp, which does nothing, actually?

08:07:01.960 --> 08:07:04.520
That can't be right.

08:07:04.520 --> 08:07:07.760
Maybe we should try collecting as many as we can to see what happens.

08:07:07.760 --> 08:07:11.400
Once an effect has been activated, it can't be used again, but the Pokémon remains

08:07:11.400 --> 08:07:14.360
in your collection until you reach a maximum of six.

08:07:14.360 --> 08:07:19.320
From there, you can choose to swap new Pokémon in to get access to more one-time effects.

08:07:19.320 --> 08:07:22.960
Each question will have one of these Pokémon attached to it, and players will have to quickly

08:07:22.960 --> 08:07:25.360
buzz in to answer and catch that Pokémon.

08:07:25.360 --> 08:07:28.440
If the first buzz gets it wrong, the other two can buzz again.

08:07:28.440 --> 08:07:32.120
If no one gets the question right, we move on, and the Pokémon returns to the tall

08:07:32.120 --> 08:07:33.120
grass.

08:07:33.120 --> 08:07:34.900
And the fun isn't just in the studio.

08:07:34.900 --> 08:07:37.880
You can play along at home, live on Twitch.

08:07:37.880 --> 08:07:40.240
Answer our questions and get ready to make your mark.

08:07:40.240 --> 08:07:44.800
have chances to vote on key moments and even help us with some sneaky secrets that could

08:07:44.800 --> 08:07:46.800
completely shake up the game.

08:07:46.800 --> 08:07:48.360
Got all that?

08:07:48.360 --> 08:07:49.360
No?

08:07:49.360 --> 08:07:51.080
Well, the best way to learn is to do.

08:07:51.080 --> 08:07:57.920
So let's get started.

08:07:57.920 --> 08:07:59.480
Thank you so much, past Brian.

08:07:59.480 --> 08:08:01.080
It's just a pleasure to work with that guy.

08:08:01.080 --> 08:08:02.080
I'll tell you what.

08:08:02.080 --> 08:08:06.520
So, that covers how the game is played and how Twitch gets to cause some chaos

08:08:06.520 --> 08:08:07.520
in chat.

08:08:07.520 --> 08:08:11.200
For our audience, you all also get to play.

08:08:11.200 --> 08:08:14.400
So we did have a QR code up there on the screens

08:08:14.400 --> 08:08:16.200
if you haven't already scanned that.

08:08:16.200 --> 08:08:18.640
That will allow you to access a dashboard

08:08:18.640 --> 08:08:21.600
so you can play along on your own devices.

08:08:21.600 --> 08:08:23.760
As we play, you can use it to answer the questions

08:08:23.760 --> 08:08:25.800
along with Twitch and our players on stage.

08:08:25.800 --> 08:08:29.600
And I can nudge you to take control at key moments.

08:08:29.600 --> 08:08:32.480
We just wanna make sure the live events are exciting.

08:08:32.480 --> 08:08:34.160
We love those twists and turns.

08:08:34.160 --> 08:08:36.920
And speaking of this being live,

08:08:36.920 --> 08:08:39.080
I know you all know the answers.

08:08:39.080 --> 08:08:40.360
I know this.

08:08:40.360 --> 08:08:43.760
You're just a whole crew full of Pokémaniacs out here,

08:08:43.760 --> 08:08:45.160
and I love that.

08:08:45.160 --> 08:08:46.640
These ace trainers are great,

08:08:46.640 --> 08:08:48.120
but the show is way funnier

08:08:48.120 --> 08:08:50.760
if these three contestants are getting it wrong.

08:08:50.760 --> 08:08:53.040
So we're gonna let them flounder.

08:08:53.040 --> 08:08:55.440
Do not yell out, just go ahead and answer that

08:08:55.440 --> 08:08:56.840
on your phone.

08:08:56.840 --> 08:08:59.640
So I think it's time for us to introduce

08:08:59.640 --> 08:09:00.800
our amazing guests.

08:09:00.800 --> 08:09:03.920
We have three wonderful contestants lined up

08:09:03.920 --> 08:09:06.440
who will be vying for the first ever title

08:09:06.440 --> 08:09:10.760
of Gotta Catch em All Game Show Champion here at PXP,

08:09:10.760 --> 08:09:14.040
Pokemon XP, we are so excited

08:09:14.040 --> 08:09:16.960
for an incredibly illustrious prize

08:09:16.960 --> 08:09:19.760
that we are giving to our contestants today.

08:09:19.760 --> 08:09:22.120
And that is the treasure of friendship.

08:09:22.120 --> 08:09:24.260
Or maybe enemies, I'm not 100% sure.

08:09:24.260 --> 08:09:27.040
We'll see how this entire trivia game goes down,

08:09:27.040 --> 08:09:28.640
but I'm hoping they have some sort

08:09:28.640 --> 08:09:30.120
of relationship after this.

08:09:30.120 --> 08:09:33.600
Trainers, are we ready to meet our incredible guests?

08:09:33.600 --> 08:09:42.600
Fantastic! First up, it's the do-rat dragon himself, it's Josiah!

08:09:42.600 --> 08:09:53.600
Come on over Josiah. Next up, we have the one and only party, Arlie!

08:09:53.600 --> 08:10:00.600
Oh, and who could be our last contestant?

08:10:00.600 --> 08:10:04.600
It is none other than Tony Weaver Jr.

08:10:04.600 --> 08:10:07.600
Oh!

08:10:07.600 --> 08:10:09.600
Ah!

08:10:09.600 --> 08:10:11.600
Ah!

08:10:11.600 --> 08:10:14.600
Oh, the Recoisa is strong. I love this.

08:10:14.600 --> 08:10:17.600
This is really, everyone's showing up today.

08:10:17.600 --> 08:10:18.600
I love to see that.

08:10:18.600 --> 08:10:20.600
It is so wonderful to have you three here.

08:10:20.600 --> 08:10:27.220
I am very excited to get this started and I'm sure you are all eager to be assigned your first partner Pokemon

08:10:27.220 --> 08:10:33.440
But again, you must be assigned your first partner Pokemon and that is your job audience

08:10:33.440 --> 08:10:39.520
You will be voting on whether they get Squirtle, Charmander or Bulbasaur to start this out

08:10:39.520 --> 08:10:47.440
And I have asked our three lovely contestants to prepare something for us to help sway your vote

08:10:47.440 --> 08:10:54.840
We have asked all three of them to write beautiful haiku about the specific partner Pokémon they want

08:10:54.840 --> 08:11:00.000
So I think it's time for you all to sit back and enjoy this literary experience

08:11:00.640 --> 08:11:04.240
Josiah, would you like to start with our haiku, please?

08:11:06.440 --> 08:11:07.840
Oh

08:11:07.840 --> 08:11:09.840
You're burning tell

08:11:11.640 --> 08:11:13.640
Shall never be extinguished

08:11:14.480 --> 08:11:16.480
For my life is yours. Oh

08:11:17.440 --> 08:11:23.440
Very dramatic, very intense Josiah, startin' strong.

08:11:23.440 --> 08:11:26.440
But let's see, Arlie, it's your turn, your Haiku, please.

08:11:26.440 --> 08:11:29.440
Alright, I did not memorize mine, so that's good.

08:11:29.440 --> 08:11:32.440
Also, I feel like I maybe don't know what a Haiku is.

08:11:32.440 --> 08:11:34.440
Alright, let's do this.

08:11:34.440 --> 08:11:37.440
The carp has my heart.

08:11:37.440 --> 08:11:43.440
Three useless fish, a splash, orange, Bulbasaur is cool.

08:11:43.440 --> 08:11:51.640
That is a great haiku I appreciate that you just threw in at the end which partner Pokemon

08:11:51.640 --> 08:11:52.640
you were looking for.

08:11:52.640 --> 08:12:02.520
Okay so we have Charmander, we have Bulbasaur, let's see, let's see Tony, what's your haiku?

08:12:02.520 --> 08:12:04.520
paint tail

08:12:04.600 --> 08:12:06.600
bold flame

08:12:07.560 --> 08:12:10.400
Our brave hearts will never change

08:12:11.920 --> 08:12:13.920
Charmander let's game

08:12:17.240 --> 08:12:21.840
Very very fiery. I love to see this now. I

08:12:23.240 --> 08:12:26.840
Entertainment and culture wrapped into one. We've got some incredible contestants

08:12:26.840 --> 08:12:33.880
I think it is time for you trainers to vote on who receives which partner Pokemon in twitch

08:12:33.880 --> 08:12:35.880
You will just be writing the Pokemon name

08:12:36.280 --> 08:12:40.360
We are going to start with Josiah do rag dragon

08:12:40.680 --> 08:12:44.680
Which of the three partner Pokemon will be assigned to Josiah?

08:12:44.680 --> 08:12:49.800
We currently have two Charmander hopefuls. So this could this could go many different ways. Oh

08:12:50.480 --> 08:12:54.120
Those percentages they keep changing. Let's see

08:12:54.120 --> 08:13:04.800
really guys really starting strong here this is it's it keeps changing but

08:13:04.800 --> 08:13:12.640
production have we locked anything in we've locked in Squirtle and we take it

08:13:12.640 --> 08:13:17.160
we take it it's you're still gonna do great please go back to the blue team

08:13:17.160 --> 08:13:22.840
that is now yours let's see if the last two go to the hopefuls it is now time

08:13:22.840 --> 08:13:29.080
to choose the partner Pokemon from Bulbasaur and Charmander for Arly. So please vote on Arly's

08:13:29.080 --> 08:13:35.000
Pokemon. What was your last line of your haikus? Bulbasaur is cool. Very straight into the point,

08:13:35.000 --> 08:13:41.560
isn't it? Ooh, but we could have. It's looking pretty strong there. Yeah, thank you guys. That's

08:13:41.560 --> 08:13:49.160
really kind. Oh no, please stop doing that. Hey, it did indeed. Bulbasaur is cool. Please

08:13:49.160 --> 08:13:55.560
go to green and that does mean Tony it worked out even though your last you were given Charmander

08:13:55.560 --> 08:14:03.080
thank you friend incredible incredible work now that that is settled our players have met their

08:14:03.080 --> 08:14:09.240
bestest buds for at least the rest of the yeah I think you are and bubbles are you and Squirtle

08:14:09.240 --> 08:14:14.200
we're gonna have a great okay I love to see that I love to see that I think it's time for us to

08:14:14.200 --> 08:14:21.920
see our leaderboard, we all have one of the four victory Pokemon required. So we're all

08:14:21.920 --> 08:14:28.080
getting started pretty strong, but I think it is time for us to finally say, players,

08:14:28.080 --> 08:14:35.720
are you ready for our first question? Let's get this thing started, shall we? Folks,

08:14:35.720 --> 08:14:40.320
our first question is for another victory Pokemon. It is for Pikachu. The power of

08:14:40.320 --> 08:14:45.440
Spark allows you to select one of three categories for the next question, a very very strong power,

08:14:45.440 --> 08:14:51.360
and we actually have a multimedia question for our first one. So everyone quiet down,

08:14:51.360 --> 08:14:57.360
take a look at this video game clip, pay close attention to everything. Let's see it.

08:15:10.320 --> 08:15:25.440
Let's see if you focused on the right thing.

08:15:25.440 --> 08:15:28.780
How many splashes did the player in last place land?

08:15:28.780 --> 08:15:33.320
Was it A-15, B-12, C-10 or D-8?

08:15:33.320 --> 08:15:35.240
A quick buzz in from Tony.

08:15:35.240 --> 08:15:36.240
Which one?

08:15:36.240 --> 08:15:37.240
D-8.

08:15:37.240 --> 08:15:39.620
B-8 is correct.

08:15:39.620 --> 08:15:44.100
Indeed, a very strong start for you there, Tony.

08:15:44.100 --> 08:15:47.220
You have two of the four necessary Pokemon.

08:15:47.220 --> 08:15:49.260
I know you were worried coming on your,

08:15:49.260 --> 08:15:51.100
you were saying, I'm not gonna win this.

08:15:51.100 --> 08:15:53.060
I'm not, but it's fine.

08:15:53.060 --> 08:15:54.100
I'm having a great time.

08:15:54.100 --> 08:15:55.420
You're starting strong though.

08:15:55.420 --> 08:15:57.860
Let's see, you gotta keep that bravery,

08:15:57.860 --> 08:15:59.340
keep that courage.

08:15:59.340 --> 08:16:01.500
And we've got a very important question.

08:16:01.500 --> 08:16:04.820
This next one is for maybe the most important Pokemon.

08:16:04.820 --> 08:16:06.700
That's why it's Magic Heart.

08:16:06.700 --> 08:16:11.380
Again, no powers for Magikarp, but if you collect three of them, it could work out.

08:16:11.380 --> 08:16:13.780
I think Arlie is focused mostly on this one.

08:16:13.780 --> 08:16:15.520
I want this so bad right now.

08:16:15.520 --> 08:16:19.620
But let's see if you focused on the right thing from this weekend, because we have

08:16:19.620 --> 08:16:23.300
a Pokemon XP question.

08:16:23.300 --> 08:16:29.580
In Pokemon XP's space-themed key art, which Pokemon can be seen on the badge worn by

08:16:29.580 --> 08:16:31.000
Pikachu?

08:16:31.000 --> 08:16:35.980
Is it A, Minior, B, Cosmog, C, Clefairy, or D, Cosmom?

08:16:35.980 --> 08:16:40.980
Quick buzz in from Arly. Which one is the badge?

08:16:40.980 --> 08:16:44.980
Is it B? I don't know. I'm guessing B.

08:16:44.980 --> 08:16:48.980
You're guessing B and you would be correct. It isn't a positive.

08:16:48.980 --> 08:16:53.980
Very strong. You've got that link with Magikarp.

08:16:53.980 --> 08:16:58.980
That does mean you have two very strong Pokemon. Only one victory.

08:16:58.980 --> 08:17:00.980
But hey, there's Magikarp. If you catch enough of it.

08:17:00.980 --> 08:17:01.980
All I want.

08:17:01.980 --> 08:17:04.980
That's gonna be great. I did have to cover up this.

08:17:04.980 --> 08:17:10.840
I did make sure that any of you could have seen as I was coming out here the correct answer to that one

08:17:11.100 --> 08:17:13.540
But let's move on to our next question

08:17:13.540 --> 08:17:17.360
This one is for a Porygon. Porygon's ability is conversion

08:17:17.360 --> 08:17:20.920
Which allows you to discuss with Twitch and our audience here

08:17:21.300 --> 08:17:27.220
What the answer to the question is a very very strong one, especially with this specific audience

08:17:27.660 --> 08:17:30.700
Let's see. This one is a TCG pocket question

08:17:30.700 --> 08:17:36.700
What attack is known by the following Pokemon in the Everyday Wonders expansion?

08:17:36.700 --> 08:17:40.700
These are Growlithe, Rockruff, Yamper, and Fido.

08:17:40.700 --> 08:17:44.700
Oh, well, we've got a buzz in already, but let me answer, let me say all these first.

08:17:44.700 --> 08:17:50.700
Is it A. Puppy Play, B. Puppy Food, C. Puppy Pile, or D. Growl?

08:17:50.700 --> 08:17:57.700
Oh, Josiah cut in right before Arly could have gotten it. Josiah, what is the correct answer?

08:17:57.700 --> 08:17:59.580
I mean, it's gotta be D growl.

08:17:59.580 --> 08:18:01.660
It's gotta be D growl.

08:18:01.660 --> 08:18:03.340
It does not gotta be D growl.

08:18:03.340 --> 08:18:04.340
It is not D.

08:18:04.340 --> 08:18:05.180
I'm sorry to say it.

08:18:05.180 --> 08:18:06.020
Oh, what?

08:18:06.020 --> 08:18:08.180
Arleigh, I believe that I saw you buzz in.

08:18:08.180 --> 08:18:10.180
Arleigh, it is your chance to guess.

08:18:10.180 --> 08:18:12.180
I am guessing.

08:18:12.180 --> 08:18:14.380
Is it A puppy play?

08:18:14.380 --> 08:18:16.300
Is it A puppy play?

08:18:16.300 --> 08:18:17.300
It's not.

08:18:17.300 --> 08:18:18.140
What?

08:18:18.140 --> 08:18:20.780
Which means, Tony, it's down to two.

08:18:20.780 --> 08:18:24.340
Is it B puppy food or C puppy pile?

08:18:24.340 --> 08:18:26.340
Uh.

08:18:26.340 --> 08:18:35.580
Well, you see, Brian, all of the Pokemon mentioned here are puppies, fluffy little boys, indeed.

08:18:35.580 --> 08:18:38.080
Vampire is not going to help you get this question, but I do appreciate it.

08:18:38.080 --> 08:18:40.140
If they were to do an attack, I think, seed.

08:18:40.140 --> 08:18:42.880
You think it would be seed, puppy pile?

08:18:42.880 --> 08:18:45.480
You're correct. It is indeed puppy pile.

08:18:45.480 --> 08:18:46.980
Very well.

08:18:46.980 --> 08:18:49.680
And this is important because the supporter card, Puppy Loving Girl,

08:18:49.680 --> 08:18:53.340
allows you to get as many of these from the top four cards of your deck

08:18:53.340 --> 08:18:55.220
and put them into your hands to set up.

08:18:55.220 --> 08:18:57.260
and there also was a little pop card

08:18:57.260 --> 08:19:00.260
in the pulsing aura expansion, which has this move.

08:19:00.260 --> 08:19:02.500
So very, very well done there, Tony.

08:19:02.500 --> 08:19:04.380
Let's take a look at that leaderboard.

08:19:04.380 --> 08:19:07.140
Tony, you got a strong lead so far.

08:19:07.140 --> 08:19:09.500
You got two victory Pokemon and the ability

08:19:09.500 --> 08:19:13.260
to ask the audience for some help in the future.

08:19:13.260 --> 08:19:16.300
And we actually have a question for you all

08:19:16.300 --> 08:19:17.140
in the audience.

08:19:17.140 --> 08:19:20.140
I need you to vote on the next Pokemon

08:19:20.140 --> 08:19:21.780
that will be attached to the question.

08:19:21.780 --> 08:19:23.420
So you could be extra helpful.

08:19:23.420 --> 08:19:28.260
Take a look at this leaderboard and consider what might be helpful for your favorite competitor.

08:19:28.260 --> 08:19:29.760
I don't know who it might be.

08:19:29.760 --> 08:19:33.460
But it seems like most people are voting for the Ditto at the moment.

08:19:33.460 --> 08:19:36.760
Of these three, Ditto does have a very strong move.

08:19:36.760 --> 08:19:41.540
It allows you to use your victory Pokemon immediately if you transfer or if you transform into it.

08:19:41.540 --> 08:19:44.180
But it could be either of the disruptive...

08:19:44.180 --> 08:19:46.280
Oh, are we locking in?

08:19:46.280 --> 08:19:48.040
It is indeed for a Ditto.

08:19:48.040 --> 08:19:51.080
We have chosen a Ditto question for our next one.

08:19:51.080 --> 08:19:54.980
So this is especially helpful for those with Victory Pokémon.

08:19:54.980 --> 08:19:58.480
Again, Transform allows you to copy any Pokémon in your collection

08:19:58.480 --> 08:20:00.780
and immediately use the one-time effect.

08:20:00.780 --> 08:20:04.580
So let's take a look at this Pokopia question.

08:20:07.080 --> 08:20:11.880
Which Pokémon will appear if you build the nothing but Pokéballs habitat?

08:20:11.880 --> 08:20:17.780
Could it be Voltorb, Tangela, Galarian Stunfisk, or Fungus?

08:20:17.780 --> 08:20:19.480
Tony, buzzed in first.

08:20:19.480 --> 08:20:21.080
I'm going to say A, Voltorb.

08:20:21.080 --> 08:20:24.480
You're going with A from context, and you'd be incorrect.

08:20:24.480 --> 08:20:26.280
It is not Voltorb.

08:20:26.280 --> 08:20:28.000
Oh, Josiah, you buzzed in.

08:20:28.000 --> 08:20:29.320
I'm going for D, Fungus.

08:20:29.320 --> 08:20:32.080
You're going for D, Fungus, another Pokemon

08:20:32.080 --> 08:20:34.800
that has a Pokeball, and it's also incorrect.

08:20:34.800 --> 08:20:36.400
I'm sorry, Fungus is not right.

08:20:36.400 --> 08:20:39.960
Arlie, it's between Galarian Stunfisk and Tangela.

08:20:39.960 --> 08:20:41.520
Which one do you think it is?

08:20:41.520 --> 08:20:44.280
I believe it is Tangela B.

08:20:44.280 --> 08:20:47.000
You believe, and you are right.

08:20:47.000 --> 08:20:50.000
And it is indeed a tangler!

08:20:50.000 --> 08:20:55.000
Okay, and now can I do this immediately?

08:20:55.000 --> 08:20:57.000
You can interrupt immediately, yes.

08:20:57.000 --> 08:20:59.000
Make him a Magikarp.

08:20:59.000 --> 08:21:01.000
Oh!

08:21:01.000 --> 08:21:04.000
I mean, that's a very bold...

08:21:04.000 --> 08:21:07.000
You're calling your shot before you even get the next Magikarp.

08:21:07.000 --> 08:21:08.000
I love to see it.

08:21:08.000 --> 08:21:09.000
I need a Magikarp.

08:21:09.000 --> 08:21:11.000
You are, you are...

08:21:11.000 --> 08:21:16.000
So I am sorry to say that because Ditto, usually when you transform it

08:21:16.000 --> 08:21:20.980
It immediately has to activate so you cannot do it until you have another magic heart

08:21:20.980 --> 08:21:21.960
This is so embarrassing

08:21:21.960 --> 08:21:24.960
So would you like to pause for now and wait until later?

08:21:24.960 --> 08:21:27.360
Should I I just don't want anybody to take my ditto

08:21:27.360 --> 08:21:31.360
There's a Pokemon on the board that will let us seal from you yet. I'm not gonna tell you yet

08:21:32.020 --> 08:21:35.420
You have my word. I wouldn't take the magic heart from you

08:21:35.420 --> 08:21:38.920
I will take the magic heart. The card has your heart. I would never.

08:21:38.920 --> 08:21:43.920
Yeah, this is what I was talking about the treasure of friendship. This is where it's it's really working right now

08:21:43.920 --> 08:21:47.940
betrays me we're all gonna remember that I would never I would never we will all

08:21:47.940 --> 08:21:53.940
keep that in mind all right so we are going to move on to our next question

08:21:53.940 --> 08:21:58.700
we'll hold off on that ditto for right now but we are moving into a very special

08:21:58.700 --> 08:22:04.220
question next it is a mystery box a mystery gift question so all of you

08:22:04.220 --> 08:22:07.860
should have boxes on your lecterns there if you pull up the one that has

08:22:07.860 --> 08:22:12.020
the first one go ahead and put it on top for now this next question will

08:22:12.020 --> 08:22:16.280
be for an Eevee. Eevee's ability is helping hand, which allows you to discuss with one

08:22:16.280 --> 08:22:24.100
of your fellow competitors, and you both would receive the Pokemon. But this one, what we

08:22:24.100 --> 08:22:29.160
are going to require from you is that you will be blindfolded as you reach into this

08:22:29.160 --> 08:22:34.520
box and procure a plushie. And you will not be able to use sight, you will just

08:22:34.520 --> 08:22:39.600
be using the sense of touch to figure out which Pokemon plushie you have. Now since

08:22:39.600 --> 08:22:41.440
You cannot see where the buzzer is.

08:22:41.440 --> 08:22:43.560
For this one, you will simply say,

08:22:43.560 --> 08:22:46.040
buzz when you are done, okay?

08:22:46.040 --> 08:22:47.960
And make sure you lift up both your hands

08:22:47.960 --> 08:22:49.920
because I can't see you still touching.

08:22:49.920 --> 08:22:51.440
If that's the case, I will skip you

08:22:51.440 --> 08:22:53.480
and I'll move on to the next buzz, okay?

08:22:53.480 --> 08:22:56.240
But are we already, do you happen to have blindfolds there

08:22:56.240 --> 08:22:57.920
or are we going to go by,

08:22:57.920 --> 08:23:00.360
I think we might have to go with,

08:23:00.360 --> 08:23:02.400
specifically just trusting our competitors

08:23:02.400 --> 08:23:05.040
to be really, really good, okay?

08:23:05.040 --> 08:23:09.400
If any of you, if any of you see any of those eyes open,

08:23:09.400 --> 08:23:11.740
You tell me, okay?

08:23:11.740 --> 08:23:14.400
All right, you tell me, all right?

08:23:14.400 --> 08:23:15.840
Let's go ahead and get, oh, I mean,

08:23:15.840 --> 08:23:18.000
that's a very good one, Harley, I do like that.

08:23:18.000 --> 08:23:19.440
The glass is off, it's good.

08:23:19.440 --> 08:23:20.280
Thank you.

08:23:20.280 --> 08:23:21.480
All right, ready?

08:23:21.480 --> 08:23:23.440
Go ahead and place your hands on top of the box.

08:23:23.440 --> 08:23:24.780
Wait one second, I almost have.

08:23:24.780 --> 08:23:27.820
That's all I can see, we're here, Harley.

08:23:27.820 --> 08:23:29.280
All right, are you ready?

08:23:29.280 --> 08:23:32.560
In three, two, one, procure the plushie.

08:23:33.760 --> 08:23:37.320
Ooh, this is a tough one.

08:23:37.320 --> 08:23:39.560
These are challenging.

08:23:39.560 --> 08:23:40.400
Buzz?

08:23:40.400 --> 08:23:41.480
OK, hands up.

08:23:41.480 --> 08:23:42.800
Hands up, Tony.

08:23:42.800 --> 08:23:44.760
What do you think it is?

08:23:44.760 --> 08:23:45.800
Erudactyl?

08:23:45.800 --> 08:23:47.360
Tony, you nailed it.

08:23:47.360 --> 08:23:49.160
That was incredible.

08:23:49.160 --> 08:23:49.760
Oh, my God.

08:23:49.760 --> 08:23:50.800
Let's go!

08:23:50.800 --> 08:23:53.680
OK, would the other competitors like to guess?

08:23:53.680 --> 08:23:54.400
Just really quick.

08:23:54.400 --> 08:23:56.440
I'm going to guess Sanchez.

08:23:56.440 --> 08:23:57.400
That was correct.

08:23:57.400 --> 08:23:59.920
Also, last guess, Arlie.

08:23:59.920 --> 08:24:01.400
Am I dumb?

08:24:01.400 --> 08:24:02.960
I don't know what this is.

08:24:02.960 --> 08:24:04.480
OK, go ahead and take off your bled.

08:24:04.480 --> 08:24:05.200
Wait, no, no, no.

08:24:05.200 --> 08:24:06.160
OK, one last try.

08:24:06.160 --> 08:24:06.920
We'll give it a shot.

08:24:06.920 --> 08:24:08.920
What is this thingy right here?

08:24:09.920 --> 08:24:11.920
It's a very good question.

08:24:11.920 --> 08:24:14.920
Is this... I don't know what this is. What the...

08:24:15.920 --> 08:24:18.920
I will... I'll say Gloom is a very challenging one.

08:24:18.920 --> 08:24:21.920
You I think were on the left. That is pretty impressive.

08:24:21.920 --> 08:24:23.920
Go ahead and place your boxes down below you.

08:24:23.920 --> 08:24:26.920
But incredible job. That was so fast, Tony.

08:24:26.920 --> 08:24:28.920
I'm very impressed there.

08:24:28.920 --> 08:24:33.920
And that does mean, Tony, you also have received an Eevee.

08:24:33.920 --> 08:24:35.920
Which means you have two supportive Pokemon here.

08:24:35.920 --> 08:24:38.120
Feel free to interrupt at any time again.

08:24:38.120 --> 08:24:41.640
You can use that polygon to ask the audience for help.

08:24:41.640 --> 08:24:44.720
You can also use the EV to ask your competitors for help.

08:24:44.720 --> 08:24:46.360
It's all about help over here.

08:24:46.360 --> 08:24:47.320
Nothing is mean.

08:24:47.320 --> 08:24:48.280
Everyone's nice.

08:24:48.280 --> 08:24:49.480
Everything's great.

08:24:49.480 --> 08:24:51.640
And that brings us to our next question,

08:24:51.640 --> 08:24:53.600
which is for an execute.

08:24:53.600 --> 08:24:56.360
Executability is extrasensory, allowing us

08:24:56.360 --> 08:24:58.960
to go into another multimedia question.

08:24:58.960 --> 08:25:00.440
We all love watching videos.

08:25:00.440 --> 08:25:01.520
It's always great.

08:25:01.520 --> 08:25:04.400
This is an animation question.

08:25:04.400 --> 08:25:08.000
I think Josiah is the most well-versed in the animation,

08:25:08.000 --> 08:25:09.080
but maybe I'm wrong.

08:25:09.080 --> 08:25:10.840
Yes, am I?

08:25:10.840 --> 08:25:13.360
Maybe just purely by those two reactions.

08:25:13.360 --> 08:25:15.360
Yes.

08:25:15.360 --> 08:25:16.960
We'll see if we're right about this.

08:25:16.960 --> 08:25:19.160
Let's take a look, shall we?

08:25:19.160 --> 08:25:23.600
Complete the lyrics to this opening song.

08:25:23.600 --> 08:25:25.000
Come with me.

08:25:25.000 --> 08:25:26.400
The time is right.

08:25:26.400 --> 08:25:27.960
There's no better blank.

08:25:27.960 --> 08:25:32.520
Is it A, Pokemon B, Knight, C, Fight, or D?

08:25:32.520 --> 08:25:33.640
Team.

08:25:33.640 --> 08:25:35.360
Oh, all right, Josiah.

08:25:35.360 --> 08:25:36.480
What do you think it is?

08:25:36.480 --> 08:25:38.120
Surely be night.

08:25:38.120 --> 08:25:39.280
Surely be night?

08:25:39.280 --> 08:25:41.520
It is not, then I'm going to...

08:25:41.520 --> 08:25:42.360
It rhymes?

08:25:42.360 --> 08:25:43.720
What are you going to do if it's not?

08:25:43.720 --> 08:25:44.560
I'm going to cry.

08:25:44.560 --> 08:25:45.720
OK, get crying.

08:25:45.720 --> 08:25:46.520
It's not correct.

08:25:46.520 --> 08:25:48.920
I'm sorry to say it is not night.

08:25:48.920 --> 08:25:51.240
You can't trust rhymes in this game.

08:25:51.240 --> 08:25:52.040
I'm sorry.

08:25:52.040 --> 08:25:53.240
Pokemon?

08:25:53.240 --> 08:25:53.760
It's close.

08:25:53.760 --> 08:25:54.240
It's close.

08:25:54.240 --> 08:25:56.040
OK, it's up to the other two.

08:25:56.040 --> 08:25:59.680
Tony, which of these last three words do you think ends?

08:25:59.680 --> 08:26:01.600
I'm going to say D team.

08:26:01.600 --> 08:26:04.840
You're gonna say D team and that is correct.

08:26:04.840 --> 08:26:07.760
That's right, this is from the original.

08:26:07.760 --> 08:26:10.160
Come with me, the time is right.

08:26:10.160 --> 08:26:12.720
There's no better team.

08:26:12.720 --> 08:26:15.000
Does anyone in the audience know the rest of it?

08:26:15.000 --> 08:26:15.840
Yeah.

08:26:19.440 --> 08:26:21.960
Pokemon, gotta catch em all.

08:26:21.960 --> 08:26:24.360
Okay, that's all the time we have for that.

08:26:24.360 --> 08:26:27.280
I'm sorry, we can't keep doing it as much as I love it.

08:26:27.280 --> 08:26:29.600
I'm gonna get Pokemon XP

08:26:29.600 --> 08:26:31.600
to have a Pokemon Karaoke next year.

08:26:31.600 --> 08:26:33.560
I've been pushing it.

08:26:33.560 --> 08:26:35.560
And it's not just because I want to show off

08:26:35.560 --> 08:26:37.480
how good I am at singing the Pokemon theme song,

08:26:37.480 --> 08:26:38.480
although that is part of it.

08:26:38.480 --> 08:26:40.720
But let's go ahead and see this leaderboard.

08:26:40.720 --> 08:26:44.600
We have a very strong showing from Tony.

08:26:44.600 --> 08:26:47.560
Still only two of the victories.

08:26:47.560 --> 08:26:49.440
But you've got so many options.

08:26:49.440 --> 08:26:51.320
Again, feel free to interrupt at any time

08:26:51.320 --> 08:26:54.440
if you feel like having a multimedia question.

08:26:54.440 --> 08:26:57.360
All right, but before we move on to our next question,

08:26:57.360 --> 08:26:59.440
it's time for another vote from our audience.

08:26:59.440 --> 08:27:05.440
audience you get to choose what our next topic is of these three contestants

08:27:05.440 --> 08:27:07.440
which one would you most like to see?

08:27:12.440 --> 08:27:14.440
I'm not going to say anything.

08:27:15.440 --> 08:27:17.440
You're not going to jinx it.

08:27:20.440 --> 08:27:24.440
Well, looking like it is pretty solidly video games right now.

08:27:24.440 --> 08:27:26.440
We have locked it in.

08:27:26.440 --> 08:27:31.400
you got what you wanted and that's probably going to get it wrong. Let's see anything can happen.

08:27:31.400 --> 08:27:36.440
This one is for another victory Pokemon so it's a very important one. It's for Charmander.

08:27:36.440 --> 08:27:41.000
Beautiful. Charmander's ability is fire spin allows you to block another player from answering the

08:27:41.000 --> 08:27:45.720
question. Very strong in the late game. Let's see if you can get this video game question right.

08:27:46.520 --> 08:27:53.480
From which Pokemon does Slowking evolve? Is it Sheldur, Slowbro, Slowpoke, or Pikachu?

08:27:53.480 --> 08:28:01.360
you. Josiah. Slowpoke. Slowpoke, you said so confidently and you are so correct. Very,

08:28:01.360 --> 08:28:07.240
very, very clean over there. Look, sometimes you get a video game question. It's a nice

08:28:07.240 --> 08:28:12.080
one. We give you some hard ones, we give you some nice ones. On our leaderboard, we

08:28:12.080 --> 08:28:18.640
still have two victory for Tony, two victory for Duraak Dragon, two, well, sorry, three

08:28:18.640 --> 08:28:21.000
three Pokemon, one victory for Arlie.

08:28:21.000 --> 08:28:21.840
That's okay.

08:28:21.840 --> 08:28:22.680
Anything can happen.

08:28:22.680 --> 08:28:27.120
Lots of options as we move on into our next question.

08:28:27.120 --> 08:28:27.960
This one.

08:28:27.960 --> 08:28:30.640
Oh, we have an interruption.

08:28:30.640 --> 08:28:33.760
I just wanted to know, since I now have a Charmander.

08:28:33.760 --> 08:28:34.600
Yes.

08:28:34.600 --> 08:28:35.440
Can I take this?

08:28:35.440 --> 08:28:36.280
Ah.

08:28:37.240 --> 08:28:39.120
No, that's your first partner.

08:28:39.120 --> 08:28:40.960
If you manage, I will say,

08:28:40.960 --> 08:28:43.200
if you manage to steal that Charmander,

08:28:43.200 --> 08:28:45.080
I will allow you to put it onto yours.

08:28:45.080 --> 08:28:48.000
I didn't know Team Rocket was a part of this competition.

08:28:48.000 --> 08:28:49.920
How do we get here?

08:28:49.920 --> 08:28:53.160
Look, again, it's all up to how aggressive you want to play.

08:28:53.160 --> 08:28:55.400
And I love to see whatever you do.

08:28:55.400 --> 08:28:59.000
All right, our next question is for another poory gun.

08:28:59.000 --> 08:29:02.360
Again, we have a very, very strong audience that can help us.

08:29:02.360 --> 08:29:06.200
And our next question is actually an audio question.

08:29:06.200 --> 08:29:09.760
So I need everyone to listen very, very closely

08:29:09.760 --> 08:29:12.840
as we play this audio clip for you right now.

08:29:18.000 --> 08:29:20.000
Want to hear that one more time?

08:29:20.000 --> 08:29:21.000
Yes.

08:29:24.000 --> 08:29:29.000
Alright. Which Kanto region Pokemon is that?

08:29:29.000 --> 08:29:34.000
Could it be Dragonite, Arcanine, Drowsy, or Ivysaur?

08:29:34.000 --> 08:29:37.000
Alright, Arleigh, buzzed in first.

08:29:37.000 --> 08:29:40.000
Which of those four do you think that cry belongs to?

08:29:40.000 --> 08:29:42.000
Is it a Dragonite?

08:29:42.000 --> 08:29:47.000
It is a Dragonite! Very, very well done!

08:29:47.000 --> 08:29:54.360
done. Incredible move there, Arly. Now you have a Porygon to help you if you're ever not 100% sure

08:29:54.360 --> 08:29:58.120
on a question. That's a very strong one. How did you know that was Dragonite so quickly?

08:29:58.120 --> 08:30:06.120
I just, I feel like I have lost to Lance so many times. He has like 20 Dragonites and so you just

08:30:06.120 --> 08:30:10.840
hear it all the time. Yeah, it's in your nightmares is what you're saying. I understand.

08:30:10.840 --> 08:30:15.560
I understand. Well very strong leaderboard right now. A lot of things that could happen.

08:30:15.560 --> 08:30:20.400
Tony, again, you can feel free to use that execute whenever you want another multimedia

08:30:20.400 --> 08:30:21.400
question.

08:30:21.400 --> 08:30:24.160
You can use any of those supports whenever you feel like it.

08:30:24.160 --> 08:30:28.160
The only support that can't be used right now is Ditto, but eventually we'll see.

08:30:28.160 --> 08:30:29.160
So soon.

08:30:29.160 --> 08:30:30.160
I can't wait.

08:30:30.160 --> 08:30:31.160
Eventually.

08:30:31.160 --> 08:30:35.920
Hey, audience, I do have a question for you all.

08:30:35.920 --> 08:30:37.320
Contestants, just talk amongst yourselves.

08:30:37.320 --> 08:30:38.320
This doesn't concern you.

08:30:38.320 --> 08:30:41.920
You're going to have a prompt on your dashboard.

08:30:41.920 --> 08:30:42.920
I'm having trouble.

08:30:42.920 --> 08:30:44.960
It's just between us, all right?

08:30:44.960 --> 08:30:46.120
They don't need to know about this.

08:30:46.120 --> 08:30:48.160
Just take a look at your dashboard if you're on Twitch.

08:30:48.160 --> 08:30:48.680
Take a look.

08:30:48.680 --> 08:30:50.720
You're going to be a little prompt for you.

08:30:50.720 --> 08:30:53.840
It's very important that you fill that one out for me

08:30:53.840 --> 08:30:55.720
so that way we can have a little fun

08:30:55.720 --> 08:30:58.160
in our next upcoming questions.

08:30:58.160 --> 08:31:01.080
Oh, while we are doing that in our audience,

08:31:01.080 --> 08:31:04.640
I think it's time for us to move on to another Magikarp

08:31:04.640 --> 08:31:05.240
question.

08:31:05.240 --> 08:31:05.800
Yeah!

08:31:05.800 --> 08:31:06.300
OK.

08:31:06.300 --> 08:31:09.080
Let's see, Arlie, lock in, because this one

08:31:09.080 --> 08:31:12.000
is a Pokemon Center question.

08:31:12.000 --> 08:31:13.880
This means I will be reading a review,

08:31:13.880 --> 08:31:17.120
and you have to tell me the Pokemon it's talking about.

08:31:17.120 --> 08:31:20.640
Okay, for a magic heart,

08:31:20.640 --> 08:31:23.240
what Pokemon is this review talking about?

08:31:23.240 --> 08:31:26.040
And I do have to yell it because it's in all caps.

08:31:26.040 --> 08:31:28.240
He's so cute and comfy and soft and huggable

08:31:28.240 --> 08:31:29.760
and he even came with little white claws

08:31:29.760 --> 08:31:31.240
on his hands and peeps.

08:31:31.240 --> 08:31:32.380
I named him Snoodle.

08:31:33.840 --> 08:31:35.920
Now, what could this review be talking about?

08:31:35.920 --> 08:31:37.160
Is it Nido King?

08:31:37.160 --> 08:31:38.360
Is it Snorlax?

08:31:38.360 --> 08:31:39.320
Is it Hypno?

08:31:39.320 --> 08:31:41.400
Or is it Weevil?

08:31:41.400 --> 08:31:43.440
All right, Josiah, do rag dragon.

08:31:43.440 --> 08:31:45.600
Which one do you think this is talking about?

08:31:45.600 --> 08:31:47.960
It's Eva, A or B.

08:31:47.960 --> 08:31:49.520
I'm gonna go with B Snorlax.

08:31:49.520 --> 08:31:51.760
You're gonna go with B Snorlax.

08:31:51.760 --> 08:31:53.360
And that's Snoodle, baby.

08:31:53.360 --> 08:31:55.080
You know it's a Snorlax.

08:31:55.080 --> 08:31:56.600
Well done.

08:31:56.600 --> 08:31:57.920
Look at him.

08:31:57.920 --> 08:32:00.000
He's got his little paws.

08:32:00.000 --> 08:32:02.080
That one comes to us from Sarah,

08:32:02.080 --> 08:32:04.400
who thank you so much, Sarah,

08:32:04.400 --> 08:32:06.840
for sending in that wonderful review.

08:32:06.840 --> 08:32:07.680
It was beautiful.

08:32:07.680 --> 08:32:10.640
I love those peats just as much as you do.

08:32:10.640 --> 08:32:12.160
Let's take a look at our leaderboard.

08:32:12.160 --> 08:32:15.420
Unfortunately, the fish have been split.

08:32:15.420 --> 08:32:19.020
We have an unfortunate situation of overfishing

08:32:19.020 --> 08:32:19.860
on that side.

08:32:19.860 --> 08:32:23.100
We'll see if Arley is, I feel like you've made

08:32:23.100 --> 08:32:23.940
an arch nemesis here.

08:32:23.940 --> 08:32:24.780
Very mad.

08:32:24.780 --> 08:32:25.620
Ooh.

08:32:25.620 --> 08:32:27.260
We'll see how this goes.

08:32:27.260 --> 08:32:29.740
I don't mind trading, Arley, but that's not part of the game.

08:32:29.740 --> 08:32:31.260
Arley, if you get him to be out,

08:32:31.260 --> 08:32:33.540
you can steal the Magikarp.

08:32:33.540 --> 08:32:34.380
I will do that.

08:32:34.380 --> 08:32:36.060
So here's the thing, I would never do that to you.

08:32:36.060 --> 08:32:36.900
Yeah, you say that.

08:32:36.900 --> 08:32:39.020
You see how he, I didn't even press the button.

08:32:39.020 --> 08:32:39.860
I didn't even try.

08:32:39.860 --> 08:32:40.980
OK, OK, noted.

08:32:40.980 --> 08:32:51.020
noted. That's pretty intense over here. I think it's time for us to give you a

08:32:51.020 --> 08:32:55.420
little bit of help here because just because you only have one Magikarp

08:32:55.420 --> 08:32:59.740
doesn't mean there aren't other ways to get them. Namely a Ditto. We have another

08:32:59.740 --> 08:33:05.980
Ditto question and this is another Pokemon XP question. So I hope you all

08:33:05.980 --> 08:33:14.300
have been paying attention this weekend. Here we go. In the EX Delta Species Expansion, TCG

08:33:14.300 --> 08:33:20.220
artist Yukamori provided illustrations for 10 cards, all of which featured which Pokemon?

08:33:20.220 --> 08:33:28.700
Is it A, EV, B, Pikachu, C, Magikarp, or D, Ditto? Tony, you buzzed in first. Which of these Pokemon?

08:33:28.700 --> 08:33:34.300
All right. Hello. We've got ourselves a little interruption. I believe you have...

08:33:34.300 --> 08:33:36.300
Are you looking to use your helping hand?

08:33:36.300 --> 08:33:45.300
I think I got to talk to the audience.

08:33:45.300 --> 08:33:46.300
Oh, you're going to...

08:33:46.300 --> 08:33:47.300
Okay, wait a second.

08:33:47.300 --> 08:33:50.300
Let's see that leaderboard one more time, shall we?

08:33:50.300 --> 08:33:53.300
I'd love to take a look at which Pokemon you have at the moment.

08:33:53.300 --> 08:33:56.300
At this moment, you are going to not use your Eevee.

08:33:56.300 --> 08:34:00.300
You are choosing to use your Porygon in order to talk to the audience.

08:34:00.300 --> 08:34:02.300
Hey, who needs this other ditto?

08:34:02.300 --> 08:34:04.300
Let's see that, Portagon, shall we?

08:34:04.300 --> 08:34:06.300
Whoo!

08:34:06.300 --> 08:34:08.300
Okay.

08:34:08.300 --> 08:34:10.300
That's a good catchy song.

08:34:10.300 --> 08:34:14.300
I do like the bit of stuff for Portagon.

08:34:14.300 --> 08:34:17.300
All right, now, audience, you have a chance to help or hinder.

08:34:17.300 --> 08:34:19.300
That's not up to me, all right?

08:34:19.300 --> 08:34:21.300
You could vote for whichever one you think.

08:34:21.300 --> 08:34:26.300
But go ahead and vote for which one of these answers do you think is correct

08:34:26.300 --> 08:34:29.300
to try to help out Tony, all right?

08:34:29.300 --> 08:34:31.300
So go ahead on your dashboard.

08:34:31.300 --> 08:34:36.580
dashboard. If you're at Twitch chat, go ahead and answer A, B, C or D on which one you think

08:34:36.580 --> 08:34:42.340
this is. And I will listen into production to see what our current percentages are.

08:34:45.860 --> 08:34:53.220
Okay. Oh, that's very, that's not as good as I thought it would be. We have a 49%

08:34:54.260 --> 08:35:00.980
lead. Okay. It's just 49% though. Okay. And it's for D, Ditto. You trust the audience. Do

08:35:00.980 --> 08:35:06.520
Do you not trust that sounds crazy for a ditto? They think it's a ditto. They think it's ditto

08:35:07.020 --> 08:35:09.020
Because it's a ditto price

08:35:09.740 --> 08:35:11.740
You know what?

08:35:11.980 --> 08:35:16.880
I feel like the answer is B, but I'm gonna trust the audience I ride with the squad

08:35:16.880 --> 08:35:21.140
So if we go down we go down together all right gonna pick D. We're picking D

08:35:21.700 --> 08:35:24.740
And you were right to trust them. It is indeed

08:35:24.740 --> 08:35:29.980
Thank you friends. I appreciate you Tony. I do want to point out

08:35:29.980 --> 08:35:34.580
Yeah, you have managed to evade a team rocket because in that last question

08:35:34.580 --> 08:35:38.980
We had our wonderful audience pick and trap one of our answers in that one

08:35:38.980 --> 08:35:40.380
It was magic heart

08:35:40.380 --> 08:35:46.140
But you didn't choose that one and so you managed to escape it that means team rocket will not be blasting off with any of

08:35:46.140 --> 08:35:51.580
Your Pokemon you are safe beautiful and that does mean you have a full roster right now

08:35:51.580 --> 08:35:55.680
You've got so many Pokemon to choose from you've already used that Porygon

08:35:55.680 --> 08:36:02.640
But you do still have those two victory Pokemon if you felt like using the ditto to transform into one and immediately use it

08:36:02.920 --> 08:36:07.020
But I think it's time for us to get a little meaner. Oh, yes

08:36:07.020 --> 08:36:14.020
I think it's time to bring in a disruptive Pokemon. Okay, this next question is for one of my favorites

08:36:14.020 --> 08:36:19.620
It's drowsy drowsy's disable blocks of Pokemon's one-time effect for the rest of the game

08:36:19.620 --> 08:36:25.620
Let's see which one of you gets this, because we have another multimedia question.

08:36:25.620 --> 08:36:28.620
Pay attention to those screens, because we're going to be playing a clip for you.

08:36:28.620 --> 08:36:29.620
Let's see it.

08:36:49.620 --> 08:36:51.620
And now...

08:37:12.620 --> 08:37:15.620
Alright, did you pay attention to that vile plume?

08:37:15.620 --> 08:37:22.660
How many petals does the flower on top of vile plumes had to have is it three four five or six?

08:37:24.080 --> 08:37:27.400
Oh buzz in from do rag dragon Josiah, which one do you think it is?

08:37:28.700 --> 08:37:35.840
Six you think it's six and you would be incorrect. It is not six. I'm sorry Arleigh buzzed in which one

08:37:35.960 --> 08:37:41.060
Okay, surely because this gloom that I was touching had four. It's four

08:37:41.900 --> 08:37:44.640
Shirley it's four. It's not sure

08:37:45.620 --> 08:37:48.020
That means it's either three or five.

08:37:48.020 --> 08:37:49.700
I'm gonna say five.

08:37:49.700 --> 08:37:51.860
You're gonna say five and you would be correct.

08:37:51.860 --> 08:37:52.700
It is indeed.

08:37:52.700 --> 08:37:53.540
Correct.

08:37:53.540 --> 08:37:56.380
It is indeed.

08:37:56.380 --> 08:37:59.460
Now, this does mean that you are put in a position.

08:37:59.460 --> 08:38:01.260
You have to remove one of these Pokemon

08:38:01.260 --> 08:38:04.180
from your team in order to replace it with a Drowsy.

08:38:04.180 --> 08:38:06.220
Porigon has been amazing.

08:38:06.220 --> 08:38:07.500
Serve their purpose.

08:38:07.500 --> 08:38:10.900
I mean, I send the Porigon to Professor Oak.

08:38:10.900 --> 08:38:13.300
Beautiful. Goodbye to the PC Porigon.

08:38:13.300 --> 08:38:14.420
It was lovely to have you.

08:38:14.420 --> 08:38:16.520
It did indeed work out for you there.

08:38:16.520 --> 08:38:20.720
So we are replacing that with the nasty drowsy.

08:38:21.280 --> 08:38:23.760
Let's see if you're going to disable anyone in the future.

08:38:23.760 --> 08:38:26.180
Now, let it be known amongst my competitors.

08:38:27.260 --> 08:38:29.960
I am only going to use the drowsy

08:38:29.960 --> 08:38:32.660
if you get a Meowth or a coughing.

08:38:32.920 --> 08:38:34.360
I'll leave you alone.

08:38:34.360 --> 08:38:37.560
As long as you're not going to seal anything for me, I won't use it.

08:38:37.560 --> 08:38:40.100
It's fine. I promise I won't use it.

08:38:40.100 --> 08:38:41.600
I won't turn it on either of you

08:38:41.600 --> 08:38:44.200
unless you get something that can seal for me at which point.

08:38:44.420 --> 08:38:45.540
I will use it.

08:38:45.540 --> 08:38:46.880
I love to see the politics.

08:38:46.880 --> 08:38:47.380
I will do it.

08:38:47.380 --> 08:38:48.180
I told you I won't.

08:38:48.180 --> 08:38:51.300
And I promise you I will only steal his ditto.

08:38:51.300 --> 08:38:52.580
Or no, sorry, his Magikarp.

08:38:52.580 --> 08:38:53.580
Oh.

08:38:53.580 --> 08:38:54.860
That's why it's Magikarp.

08:38:54.860 --> 08:38:55.900
Again, give me your word.

08:38:55.900 --> 08:38:56.900
I would do that.

08:38:56.900 --> 08:38:57.900
I would do that.

08:38:57.900 --> 08:38:58.900
I would do that.

08:38:58.900 --> 08:38:59.900
I just want the fish.

08:38:59.900 --> 08:39:00.500
I do that.

08:39:00.500 --> 08:39:01.180
I just want the fish.

08:39:01.180 --> 08:39:02.940
I need another teammate on my side.

08:39:02.940 --> 08:39:04.740
You have to be one extra.

08:39:04.740 --> 08:39:06.020
You're all alone.

08:39:06.020 --> 08:39:06.780
Yeah, I'm fine.

08:39:06.780 --> 08:39:07.220
It's worth it.

08:39:07.220 --> 08:39:09.540
This calls to seeing what happens when we get three Magikarp

08:39:09.540 --> 08:39:10.780
and you say, no.

08:39:10.780 --> 08:39:12.460
I'm going to be cool.

08:39:12.460 --> 08:39:13.460
I'm going to get the Magikarp.

08:39:13.460 --> 08:39:20.480
I have a feeling the treasure of friendship is not going to be working out for these three and I I personally

08:39:22.260 --> 08:39:29.460
Here's the thing let's see you might indeed get another friend here because our next question is for another

08:39:29.660 --> 08:39:36.220
Squirtle it's not that aqua jet power allowing you to bump ahead even if someone else has buzzed in this is a

08:39:36.500 --> 08:39:38.380
Pokemon go question

08:39:38.380 --> 08:39:46.140
Which Pokemon's mega evolved forms were introduced during the Pokemon Go Fest events to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary in

08:39:46.740 --> 08:39:51.180
2026 is it Raichu, Mewtwo, Lucario or Absol?

08:39:51.180 --> 08:39:53.680
Oh Josiah, quick on that!

08:39:55.300 --> 08:39:58.420
Wow, here's the thing Tony you are a little too...

08:39:59.540 --> 08:40:06.860
Josiah answered first which means no interruptions work anymore. You chose Mewtwo and you chose correctly

08:40:06.860 --> 08:40:11.540
It is, indeed, Mewtwo. So close there, Tony.

08:40:11.540 --> 08:40:13.500
You gotta be a little faster with the interrupts.

08:40:13.500 --> 08:40:14.340
Very well.

08:40:14.340 --> 08:40:15.940
But that's pretty impressive.

08:40:15.940 --> 08:40:18.180
And that was a... I will say that was a tricky one,

08:40:18.180 --> 08:40:21.540
because we did have MegaRitechuX and RitechuY,

08:40:21.540 --> 08:40:24.820
but they were introduced a week after that event,

08:40:24.820 --> 08:40:26.020
which had the Mewtwo one.

08:40:26.020 --> 08:40:28.260
So, you were not tricked by that, though.

08:40:28.260 --> 08:40:29.260
I wasn't.

08:40:29.260 --> 08:40:30.260
You were locked in.

08:40:30.260 --> 08:40:32.220
I play football every day.

08:40:32.220 --> 08:40:34.060
I play football every day.

08:40:34.060 --> 08:40:36.340
Yeah, that's me.

08:40:36.340 --> 08:40:43.340
It's beautiful, and I love to see you do indeed have two Squirtle, meaning you can use Aquajet whenever you feel like it.

08:40:43.340 --> 08:40:44.340
Okie dokie.

08:40:45.340 --> 08:40:50.340
Alright, folks, I believe it is time for a very important vote from our audience now.

08:40:50.340 --> 08:40:53.340
This one is for what the next Pokémon will be.

08:40:53.340 --> 08:40:58.340
And as we get deeper and deeper into this, into the endgame, any of these could be strong.

08:40:58.340 --> 08:41:03.340
Do you choose a victory Pokémon, a disruptive Pokémon, or perhaps...

08:41:03.340 --> 08:41:04.340
Let's go!

08:41:04.340 --> 08:41:05.340
Perhaps!

08:41:05.340 --> 08:41:09.020
No, what I need is a magic heart.

08:41:09.020 --> 08:41:11.220
Whenever we go into a vote, everyone

08:41:11.220 --> 08:41:12.900
just wants to see the magic heart.

08:41:12.900 --> 08:41:14.220
And I respect it.

08:41:14.220 --> 08:41:14.940
I really do.

08:41:14.940 --> 08:41:16.020
I hate to see.

08:41:16.020 --> 08:41:17.180
We love that fish.

08:41:17.180 --> 08:41:18.780
Thank you all so much.

08:41:18.780 --> 08:41:20.660
I feel comfortable locking that in.

08:41:20.660 --> 08:41:25.460
That's a 79% to this next one will be for a magic heart.

08:41:25.460 --> 08:41:28.100
But let's see if it's going to be tied up

08:41:28.100 --> 08:41:31.100
with an actual question that you think

08:41:31.100 --> 08:41:32.300
you can answer, Arlie.

08:41:32.300 --> 08:41:34.780
Or if we're going to have a new fisherman's

08:41:34.780 --> 08:41:36.420
Supreme over here with his eye.

08:41:36.420 --> 08:41:37.300
It's possible.

08:41:37.300 --> 08:41:38.340
It can happen.

08:41:38.340 --> 08:41:40.940
Here's another multimedia question.

08:41:40.940 --> 08:41:41.940
Pay attention.

08:41:41.940 --> 08:41:43.420
We're going to play a clip.

08:42:13.420 --> 08:42:35.020
How many eggs do you lose if you are shocked by a Voltorb?

08:42:35.020 --> 08:42:36.980
Were you paying attention to the right thing?

08:42:36.980 --> 08:42:37.980
That's the question.

08:42:37.980 --> 08:42:42.980
Is it three, four, five, or six?

08:42:43.140 --> 08:42:45.060
Arlie, buzzed in first.

08:42:45.060 --> 08:42:47.240
Oh, no, I wasn't paying attention.

08:42:47.240 --> 08:42:50.700
I will be guessing.

08:42:50.700 --> 08:42:52.900
Surely the game isn't that mean.

08:42:52.900 --> 08:42:55.820
Surely it's only A3, right?

08:42:55.820 --> 08:42:57.500
Surely it's only A3.

08:42:57.500 --> 08:42:59.660
The game's a little meaner than that.

08:42:59.660 --> 08:43:01.620
Not three, it's four, five, or six.

08:43:01.620 --> 08:43:02.700
That's far.

08:43:02.700 --> 08:43:05.780
Tony, buzzed in, four, five, or six.

08:43:05.780 --> 08:43:09.100
I am going to say five.

08:43:09.100 --> 08:43:12.460
You are going to say five, and you would be correct.

08:43:12.460 --> 08:43:15.580
That is how many you lose.

08:43:15.580 --> 08:43:16.500
I can't be mad.

08:43:16.500 --> 08:43:18.140
Which is pretty impressive.

08:43:18.140 --> 08:43:21.140
Now, you have a full party, and you haven't used any of them.

08:43:21.140 --> 08:43:22.860
That does mean you have to knock out

08:43:22.860 --> 08:43:26.340
one of these Pokemon for a magic card, truly

08:43:26.340 --> 08:43:29.380
splitting all of these fish amongst all of you.

08:43:29.380 --> 08:43:31.420
We're never going to see this game in tennis,

08:43:31.420 --> 08:43:32.420
but let's take a look.

08:43:32.420 --> 08:43:34.860
If I impact this, no.

08:43:34.860 --> 08:43:36.620
Unfortunately, it can't do it.

08:43:36.620 --> 08:43:38.300
We've already caught the Pokemon.

08:43:38.300 --> 08:43:39.340
That must leave.

08:43:39.340 --> 08:43:40.100
I see.

08:43:40.100 --> 08:43:44.620
We all must accept our choices in this life.

08:43:44.620 --> 08:43:45.700
Which of these are going to go?

08:43:45.700 --> 08:43:46.780
Execute must go.

08:43:46.780 --> 08:43:48.780
Execute must go.

08:43:48.780 --> 08:43:50.260
We hardly knew ye.

08:43:50.260 --> 08:43:51.060
Very cute.

08:43:51.060 --> 08:43:52.460
Goodbye, Execute.

08:43:52.460 --> 08:43:54.540
And welcome, Magikarp.

08:43:54.540 --> 08:43:57.180
Oh, very, very strong leaderboards right here.

08:43:57.180 --> 08:44:00.420
Again, we do have three victory Pokemon,

08:44:00.420 --> 08:44:03.300
but only two unique ones over for Durag Dragon.

08:44:03.300 --> 08:44:07.460
Tony, you have two unique, and then, party Arly, you have one.

08:44:07.460 --> 08:44:09.700
So, still anyone's game?

08:44:09.700 --> 08:44:13.700
Let's move on to our next question and another disruptive Pokemon.

08:44:13.700 --> 08:44:16.420
And as a reminder, feel free to interrupt at any time

08:44:16.420 --> 08:44:20.580
to use any of the Pokemon at your will.

08:44:20.580 --> 08:44:21.620
Feel free.

08:44:21.620 --> 08:44:23.180
Our next one's for a coughing.

08:44:23.180 --> 08:44:26.300
I love coughing's song, so I hope someone uses it at some point.

08:44:26.300 --> 08:44:26.860
It's smog.

08:44:26.860 --> 08:44:29.060
It allows you to remove a random Pokemon

08:44:29.060 --> 08:44:30.900
from another player's collection.

08:44:30.900 --> 08:44:34.340
And this is a video game question.

08:44:34.340 --> 08:44:37.780
In Pokemon, let's go Pikachu and Pokemon, let's go Eevee.

08:44:37.780 --> 08:44:39.900
You can battle master trainers who specialize

08:44:39.900 --> 08:44:41.380
in a specific species.

08:44:41.380 --> 08:44:43.940
There are no master trainers for legendary Pokemon,

08:44:43.940 --> 08:44:47.260
mythical Pokemon, and one other species.

08:44:47.260 --> 08:44:48.580
Which Pokemon is it?

08:44:48.580 --> 08:44:50.740
Oh, not quite yet.

08:44:50.740 --> 08:44:52.140
We have to wait till after.

08:44:52.140 --> 08:44:53.340
Is it Pikachu?

08:44:53.340 --> 08:44:54.380
Is it Eevee?

08:44:54.380 --> 08:44:55.380
Is it Ditto?

08:44:55.380 --> 08:44:56.980
Or is it Lapras?

08:44:56.980 --> 08:44:58.540
Oh, yeah, beat.

08:44:58.540 --> 08:45:01.880
Okay, now we have an interrupt over here.

08:45:01.880 --> 08:45:03.480
What would you like to do, Tony?

08:45:05.440 --> 08:45:08.320
The stealing ability of Smog could be too strong

08:45:08.320 --> 08:45:09.760
in Josiah's hands.

08:45:09.760 --> 08:45:10.600
Okay.

08:45:10.600 --> 08:45:14.480
So I would like to use my Charmander along with a ditto

08:45:14.480 --> 08:45:16.800
to block Josiah from answering this question.

08:45:16.800 --> 08:45:17.640
All right, okay.

08:45:17.640 --> 08:45:19.280
But there is no possibility

08:45:19.280 --> 08:45:22.000
to describe the power of the bond

08:45:22.000 --> 08:45:23.160
that appeared in his hands.

08:45:23.160 --> 08:45:25.120
Well, let's take a look.

08:45:25.120 --> 08:45:27.200
That means we're using a ditto.

08:45:27.200 --> 08:45:28.540
Let's see that ditto footage.

08:45:28.540 --> 08:45:35.200
That's a real peppy one.

08:45:35.200 --> 08:45:37.360
And then we immediately go into the Charmander.

08:45:37.360 --> 08:45:38.960
Shall we see the Charmander?

08:45:38.960 --> 08:45:46.200
Oh, this is pretty proven, Josiah.

08:45:46.200 --> 08:45:47.840
I'm right there with you.

08:45:47.840 --> 08:45:50.960
You truly, they're afraid of you.

08:45:50.960 --> 08:45:53.760
This is anything that shows that you're a real heavy

08:45:53.760 --> 08:45:55.280
competitor over here.

08:45:55.280 --> 08:45:58.840
And that does mean you are blocking Josiah from answering.

08:45:58.840 --> 08:46:01.240
So even though you buzzed in first,

08:46:01.240 --> 08:46:04.080
that does mean it's up to Arley and Tony now.

08:46:04.080 --> 08:46:05.640
I'm gonna read those questions again

08:46:05.640 --> 08:46:07.240
and you will buzz in one more time.

08:46:07.240 --> 08:46:08.080
Very well.

08:46:08.080 --> 08:46:13.080
Is it Pikachu, Eevee, Ditto, or Lapras?

08:46:13.840 --> 08:46:16.000
Okay, Arley buzzed in.

08:46:16.000 --> 08:46:17.960
Oh, and interrupt as well, Arley.

08:46:17.960 --> 08:46:20.720
May I ask the Twitch chat for help on this one?

08:46:20.720 --> 08:46:22.160
You absolutely may.

08:46:22.160 --> 08:46:24.600
We're gonna use that Porygon right now.

08:46:24.600 --> 08:46:26.760
Chat, you are going to help her out,

08:46:26.760 --> 08:46:28.320
or maybe not, who could say?

08:46:28.320 --> 08:46:29.760
Let's see that, Porygon.

08:46:29.760 --> 08:46:30.600
Please help me.

08:46:30.600 --> 08:46:32.080
["Porygon"]

08:46:36.080 --> 08:46:37.720
All right.

08:46:37.720 --> 08:46:40.800
Everyone, please vote for which one you think it is,

08:46:40.800 --> 08:46:43.280
and I will go ahead and relay the highest

08:46:43.280 --> 08:46:45.760
percentage of the votes.

08:46:45.760 --> 08:46:48.800
It is between Pikachu, Eevee, Ditto, and Lapras.

08:46:48.800 --> 08:46:52.600
Again, this is for the one that no master trainers use.

08:46:52.600 --> 08:46:54.540
Again, not a legendary, not a mythical.

08:46:56.580 --> 08:46:59.140
Okay, all right, this one is a little bit stronger.

08:46:59.140 --> 08:47:01.860
We have 68% for Ditto.

08:47:01.860 --> 08:47:03.260
Okay, that's what I thought it was,

08:47:03.260 --> 08:47:05.020
so that makes me feel better.

08:47:05.020 --> 08:47:08.020
I feel confident then to answer C. Ditto.

08:47:08.020 --> 08:47:09.580
C. Ditto!

08:47:09.580 --> 08:47:11.820
Well done, audience, that is correct.

08:47:11.820 --> 08:47:14.180
You are right, that does mean

08:47:15.620 --> 08:47:17.260
the reason Ditto is excluded,

08:47:17.260 --> 08:47:18.980
because you can only use transform,

08:47:18.980 --> 08:47:19.940
it doesn't make sense.

08:47:19.940 --> 08:47:22.580
But let's go ahead and see that leader board.

08:47:22.580 --> 08:47:26.540
Arleigh, you do have the very powerful move.

08:47:26.540 --> 08:47:29.200
Oh, an interruption.

08:47:29.200 --> 08:47:30.660
Arleigh, what would you like to do?

08:47:30.660 --> 08:47:32.140
I want his magic harp.

08:47:32.140 --> 08:47:36.140
OK, now, here's, OK.

08:47:36.140 --> 08:47:38.220
You are going to be able to disable one.

08:47:38.220 --> 08:47:39.820
You won't be able to steal it from him.

08:47:39.820 --> 08:47:40.740
Oh, shoot, OK.

08:47:40.740 --> 08:47:41.900
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

08:47:41.900 --> 08:47:43.260
Here's the thing.

08:47:43.260 --> 08:47:46.300
You still, Meowth is the one that allows you to steal.

08:47:46.300 --> 08:47:48.580
Koffing just removes one at random.

08:47:48.580 --> 08:47:50.140
So I don't get to keep it.

08:47:50.140 --> 08:47:51.580
I made the same mistake.

08:47:51.580 --> 08:47:53.140
Take his magic park away anyway.

08:47:53.140 --> 08:47:53.740
I don't care.

08:47:53.740 --> 08:47:54.340
We're going to.

08:47:54.340 --> 08:47:56.780
Well, it's up to it is up to the fates.

08:47:56.780 --> 08:47:57.860
It will go randomly.

08:47:57.860 --> 08:48:00.060
But let's go ahead and see that coughing footage.

08:48:03.780 --> 08:48:05.460
I'm so glad one of you used it.

08:48:05.460 --> 08:48:06.660
It's my favorite song.

08:48:06.660 --> 08:48:07.780
It's my favorite song.

08:48:07.780 --> 08:48:08.340
All right.

08:48:08.340 --> 08:48:12.060
And you are which are you activating it against Tony

08:48:12.060 --> 08:48:13.060
or against Josiah?

08:48:13.060 --> 08:48:15.460
So against Josiah, even if it doesn't take the car,

08:48:15.460 --> 08:48:17.100
but he has three victory points.

08:48:17.100 --> 08:48:17.940
OK.

08:48:17.940 --> 08:48:22.580
Let's see. It's random. Let's take a look at that leaderboard and see which one is disabled.

08:48:23.780 --> 08:48:28.020
Oh, it could be. Oh, it was indeed the Magikarp leaving.

08:48:28.980 --> 08:48:32.980
Okay, honestly, that does work out for him, but I'm actually happy to not see a carpet in this.

08:48:32.980 --> 08:48:38.980
You know, it's all about the vibes, right? You're really here. We're building a story right now.

08:48:38.980 --> 08:48:40.980
Can you see how much I'm being attacked?

08:48:40.980 --> 08:48:44.980
I do not. I do not.

08:48:44.980 --> 08:48:51.980
Now, I do have to say, he is the smartest competitor up here, and we have to take set to protect ourselves.

08:48:51.980 --> 08:48:56.980
I believe on all of the dashboard here in the audience, you have something called Flare.

08:48:56.980 --> 08:49:01.980
It allows you to show your support for which of these teams you are rooting for.

08:49:01.980 --> 08:49:05.980
If you feel like it, feel free to throw up some Flare for which one you're voting for right now.

08:49:05.980 --> 08:49:09.980
Who are you? We got some strong Arly support right here.

08:49:09.980 --> 08:49:25.560
a bit of blue. We're gonna see if that ends up working out for

08:49:25.560 --> 08:49:29.360
you. We're gonna. Move on to another question. This is for

08:49:29.360 --> 08:49:33.380
another victory Pokémon. It's Pikachu and it's another

08:49:33.380 --> 08:49:36.660
Pokémon center question, so I hope you are all ready for

08:49:36.660 --> 08:49:42.480
another beautiful review what Pokemon is this review talking about there's

08:49:42.480 --> 08:49:48.700
beauty in simplicity like this blank plush could that be talking about mute

08:49:48.700 --> 08:49:55.100
metapod electrode or magneton oh a quick buzz in from Tony which of these four

08:49:55.100 --> 08:50:01.500
now didn't work you are so close though it happened the same way Tony you did

08:50:01.500 --> 08:50:05.940
get to say metapod and it's okay because that's not right it wasn't

08:50:05.940 --> 08:50:11.380
It's one of the other three. Okay, Arly. It's your chance. What do you think it's gonna be?

08:50:11.380 --> 08:50:17.220
Um, because it says simple, simplicity. I'm thinking maybe electrode. It's just a ball.

08:50:17.220 --> 08:50:21.540
It does seem pretty simple, but that's not what it's talking about.

08:50:21.540 --> 08:50:23.060
Oh, my goodness. This is a miracle.

08:50:23.060 --> 08:50:30.820
Do you think it's mule, or do you think it's magneton? This is a tough one. Could be...

08:50:30.820 --> 08:50:32.820
I

08:50:34.540 --> 08:50:38.180
You think it's me and you would be correct

08:50:41.980 --> 08:50:43.980
We try to warn you

08:50:45.500 --> 08:50:51.500
But I look at that that is beauty and simplicity don't you think that's cute. Thank you so much for those beautiful

08:50:51.860 --> 08:50:56.580
Very sparse words Darren. It was a beautiful review. I think it did a great job

08:50:56.580 --> 08:51:08.580
But now we take a look at our leaderboard and as we see, Durag Dragon now has three unique victory Pokemon once that Pikachu is added.

08:51:08.580 --> 08:51:12.580
It'll take a second. It's coming in. It'll be there we go.

08:51:12.580 --> 08:51:18.580
That means that a Bulbasaur is all you need to win it all, Josiah.

08:51:18.580 --> 08:51:20.580
How are you feeling right now?

08:51:20.580 --> 08:51:25.580
Bro, I can't feel any type of way. Tony still got the drowsy on his side.

08:51:25.580 --> 08:51:31.420
Yeah, all these got the got the ditto bro. I'm just gonna wait and see what happens

08:51:31.420 --> 08:51:35.060
You see how he is very staunchly in the lead in a second like

08:51:36.060 --> 08:51:40.640
I tried to warn you of this treachery. I tried to warn you

08:51:41.660 --> 08:51:48.540
I do love that Tony came out hard immediately against you red dragon and then has been proven correct

08:51:49.620 --> 08:51:52.220
Love to see that happen. It's it's great

08:51:52.220 --> 08:51:57.620
But we are going to move on to our next question, which is for another ditto.

08:51:57.620 --> 08:52:03.580
So let's see if you all can answer this Detective Pikachu question.

08:52:03.580 --> 08:52:09.660
In Pokemon Detective Pikachu, after Pikachu is injured, which Pokemon does Tim Goodman

08:52:09.660 --> 08:52:10.980
ask for help?

08:52:10.980 --> 08:52:16.900
Is it A, Psyduck, B, Bulbasaur, C, Squirtle, or D, Mr. Mine?

08:52:16.900 --> 08:52:21.700
buzz in from Josiah. Which of those four does Tim Goodman ask for help?

08:52:21.700 --> 08:52:24.420
I want to say Mr. Mime.

08:52:24.420 --> 08:52:30.340
Alright, you're saying Mr. Mime and that's not right. It's not Mr. Mime. He was not helpful in this.

08:52:30.340 --> 08:52:33.700
Arleigh, which of those three left do you think it was?

08:52:33.700 --> 08:52:36.740
I didn't have been my buddy, Bulbasaur B.

08:52:36.740 --> 08:52:38.180
You're going with me, right?

08:52:38.180 --> 08:52:39.060
Bulbasaur.

08:52:39.060 --> 08:52:39.780
My friend?

08:52:39.780 --> 08:52:40.980
And it was your buddy!

08:52:40.980 --> 08:52:42.820
You was! Hey, you're team! Hey!

08:52:42.820 --> 08:52:43.860
Oh, you're back! You're back!

08:52:43.860 --> 08:52:44.660
You're back! You're back! You're back!

08:52:44.660 --> 08:52:48.660
Now, shall we take a look at that leader book?

08:52:48.660 --> 08:52:54.660
Now, I have a feeling I know what that interrupt is for, Arlie.

08:52:54.660 --> 08:52:55.660
Could I be correct?

08:52:55.660 --> 08:52:59.660
I would love to transform both of my dittos into magic carpet.

08:52:59.660 --> 08:53:01.660
I can do that!

08:53:01.660 --> 08:53:03.660
Alright, we're just gonna see.

08:53:03.660 --> 08:53:05.660
Let's see that ditto, please.

08:53:05.660 --> 08:53:07.660
This ditto footage.

08:53:14.660 --> 08:53:18.900
I absolutely love it when the plan comes together.

08:53:18.900 --> 08:53:22.420
That ditto is going, well, both of those ditto

08:53:22.420 --> 08:53:24.900
will be transforming into Magikarp.

08:53:24.900 --> 08:53:27.100
And as we look at that leaderboard,

08:53:27.100 --> 08:53:28.140
what's this?

08:53:28.140 --> 08:53:31.460
Could it potentially be a special encounter?

08:53:31.460 --> 08:53:33.340
We have three Magikarp here.

08:53:33.340 --> 08:53:35.740
Why don't we see that splash?

08:53:35.740 --> 08:53:37.740
Oh, no!

08:53:37.740 --> 08:53:39.740
Oh, no!

08:53:39.740 --> 08:53:41.740
Oh, no!

08:53:41.740 --> 08:53:43.740
Oh, thank you!

08:53:43.740 --> 08:53:45.740
Oh, no!

08:53:45.740 --> 08:53:49.740
Gyarados, Shiny Magikarp, and the real big Magikarp.

08:53:49.740 --> 08:53:54.740
These are the three different Pokémon that could be used for this one-time effect.

08:53:54.740 --> 08:53:58.740
Instead of them being added to your collection, it's immediately going to happen,

08:53:58.740 --> 08:54:01.740
and then those Magikarp will swim away into the stream.

08:54:01.740 --> 08:54:04.740
So, we'll go ahead and see

08:54:04.740 --> 08:54:11.520
See if we have the golden magic harp, the big magic harp, or the Gyarados.

08:54:11.520 --> 08:54:12.520
It's up to fate!

08:54:12.520 --> 08:54:14.740
Let's see which one it is, shall we?

08:54:14.740 --> 08:54:15.740
Woo!

08:54:15.740 --> 08:54:16.740
Oh!

08:54:16.740 --> 08:54:22.380
That's a rough one.

08:54:22.380 --> 08:54:27.900
You have Gyarados's Thrash, which means you are allowed to remove a Pokemon from

08:54:27.900 --> 08:54:36.500
each of the other player's collection and you get to choose which Pokemon it is, Arley,

08:54:36.500 --> 08:54:39.660
what would you like to remove from Tony?

08:54:39.660 --> 08:54:40.660
Remember our friendship.

08:54:40.660 --> 08:54:41.660
Yes, we are friends.

08:54:41.660 --> 08:54:42.660
We are friends.

08:54:42.660 --> 08:54:47.340
What did you want to use that drowsy for again?

08:54:47.340 --> 08:54:48.340
Oh, you can take it.

08:54:48.340 --> 08:54:49.340
Okay, I'll take your drowsy.

08:54:49.340 --> 08:54:50.340
All right, you can take it.

08:54:50.340 --> 08:54:55.940
All right, we are removing the drowsy and that means you will remove one of these

08:54:55.940 --> 08:54:56.940
four victory Pokemon.

08:54:56.940 --> 08:55:03.620
Pokemon which one do you think you're gonna remove? I will definitely let him keep his little squirtle

08:55:03.620 --> 08:55:07.620
That's very kind of you. Um, I know you look squirrel so much. I'm gonna take away

08:55:08.380 --> 08:55:10.380
your

08:55:10.380 --> 08:55:15.060
The other squirrels surely cuz I'm gonna take away your charm and

08:55:21.660 --> 08:55:23.660
Very very

08:55:24.180 --> 08:55:26.180
What's happening

08:55:26.940 --> 08:55:29.740
You see, the mind games are up high here.

08:55:29.740 --> 08:55:32.540
This is, his reign of tyranny was so strong

08:55:32.540 --> 08:55:36.740
that it took a giant Gyarados to keep him in check.

08:55:36.740 --> 08:55:37.980
And he's still winning!

08:55:37.980 --> 08:55:39.380
Tony, I do want to point out

08:55:39.380 --> 08:55:41.220
that you keep saying this reign of tyranny.

08:55:41.220 --> 08:55:42.940
Yes. When you started the reign of tyranny,

08:55:42.940 --> 08:55:44.340
there was no tyranny yet.

08:55:44.340 --> 08:55:45.260
No, no, no, no, no, no.

08:55:45.260 --> 08:55:47.740
It was not the start of the gigas pirate.

08:55:47.740 --> 08:55:49.740
This is a very intelligent man.

08:55:49.740 --> 08:55:51.900
Okay, this is a very intelligent man.

08:55:51.900 --> 08:55:54.300
I can tell, I can feel his brainwane.

08:55:54.300 --> 08:55:56.700
I understand, I understand,

08:55:56.700 --> 08:55:59.940
All right, folks, well, that was a real shakeup.

08:55:59.940 --> 08:56:02.220
And honestly, working for the Magic Cart

08:56:02.220 --> 08:56:03.660
worked out really well for your arm.

08:56:03.660 --> 08:56:04.660
I feel like I won.

08:56:04.660 --> 08:56:05.860
That's all I wanted to do.

08:56:05.860 --> 08:56:06.580
Amazing.

08:56:06.580 --> 08:56:07.300
Oh, that's awesome.

08:56:07.300 --> 08:56:08.860
But you are closer now to winning.

08:56:08.860 --> 08:56:10.980
So let's see how this continues on.

08:56:10.980 --> 08:56:13.300
It was actually a very good choice

08:56:13.300 --> 08:56:14.780
that you removed the Charmander,

08:56:14.780 --> 08:56:18.460
because our next question is for a Bulbasaur.

08:56:18.460 --> 08:56:21.900
It would have been a game point here.

08:56:21.900 --> 08:56:24.060
But now it's up to anyone at this point.

08:56:24.060 --> 08:56:29.260
So, again, Sweet Sent allows you to select one of three Pokemon to be attached to the next question.

08:56:29.260 --> 08:56:31.260
Very strong in this endgame.

08:56:31.260 --> 08:56:34.260
But this is a TCG question.

08:56:34.260 --> 08:56:36.260
Go ahead.

08:56:36.260 --> 08:56:37.260
Go ahead.

08:56:37.260 --> 08:56:39.260
Tony is ready.

08:56:39.260 --> 08:56:47.460
Which Pokemon has a holographic card in base set, but its evolution didn't get a card until the Jungle Expansion?

08:56:47.460 --> 08:56:51.460
Is it Clefairy, Polyworld, Kadabra, or Pikachu?

08:56:51.460 --> 08:56:58.060
Oh, we're waiting. This is a stumper. No one's but okay. Arlie buzzed in first.

08:56:58.060 --> 08:57:07.460
And I'm on as well since I don't know it. I am going to guess B, B poly world?

08:57:07.460 --> 08:57:14.460
You're gonna guess B poly world, which is incorrect. Leaving it up to I fairy the Gabbra.

08:57:14.460 --> 08:57:19.460
Yes. All right, Josiah, which of the last three do you think it was?

08:57:19.460 --> 08:57:23.460
You think it was Clefairy and you're correct.

08:57:23.460 --> 08:57:25.460
Whoo!

08:57:25.460 --> 08:57:29.460
So, again, very good move for moving the Charmander.

08:57:29.460 --> 08:57:31.460
That would have been it right there, but incredible work.

08:57:31.460 --> 08:57:34.460
The game would have been over. We would have all had to go home.

08:57:34.460 --> 08:57:37.460
You see where she protected you from?

08:57:37.460 --> 08:57:42.460
Well, I'm taking a look at this leaderboard.

08:57:42.460 --> 08:57:45.460
We once again have Josiah and the lead du-rag dragon

08:57:45.460 --> 08:57:50.080
dragon has three unique ones just looking for that charmander that was so

08:57:50.080 --> 08:57:55.320
viciously stolen from you. We'll move on to our next question which is for my

08:57:55.320 --> 08:58:01.300
favorite little stinker, Meowth. That's right, it's Thief which allows you to

08:58:01.300 --> 08:58:06.560
feel any Pokemon from another player's collection of very very strong move

08:58:06.560 --> 08:58:12.240
but this one is time for our second mystery gift. You should have another

08:58:12.240 --> 08:58:17.600
box under there. Again, we are definitely looking out to make sure that you are trustworthy

08:58:17.600 --> 08:58:25.120
and not looking, okay? Take off those glasses, drop on that, uh, that egg, beautiful Togapi.

08:58:25.120 --> 08:58:29.160
It really works out great. I think it's good that it has dual use there. All right, all

08:58:29.160 --> 08:58:35.480
of you, please put your hands on top of the box and begin in three, two, one, go!

08:58:35.480 --> 08:58:37.000
Oh, goodness.

08:58:37.000 --> 08:58:39.000
Buzz Gengar

08:58:43.220 --> 08:58:50.600
Okay, Tony you nailed it that was the fastest I have ever seen would you like to try to say what?

08:58:51.240 --> 08:58:53.140
Mines dragon man

08:58:53.140 --> 08:58:59.560
That is impressive. It is actually acting but you were close and then Arley. Would you like to guess?

08:59:00.000 --> 08:59:02.000
What is this?

08:59:02.000 --> 08:59:06.000
What's going on here?

08:59:06.000 --> 08:59:10.000
Honestly, Arly, you are correct.

08:59:10.000 --> 08:59:14.000
It is one of the bells.

08:59:14.000 --> 08:59:18.000
I cannot believe that you have gotten two of these

08:59:18.000 --> 08:59:22.000
very nasty subpoins and gas types.

08:59:22.000 --> 08:59:26.000
But, Tony, unbelievable.

08:59:26.000 --> 08:59:30.000
In my community there's this word called hyper fixation.

08:59:30.000 --> 08:59:34.600
It works to my favor sometimes.

08:59:34.600 --> 08:59:36.040
It works out, Gengar.

08:59:36.040 --> 08:59:37.200
It worked out for you.

08:59:37.200 --> 08:59:43.520
As we take a look at this leaderboard, that does indeed mean that, Tony, you have gained

08:59:43.520 --> 08:59:49.000
another Pokemon, and that Pokemon is Mioff, meaning at any point, you can interrupt and

08:59:49.000 --> 08:59:51.000
steal another Pokemon.

08:59:51.000 --> 08:59:54.000
I wonder whose Pokemon might be still there.

08:59:54.000 --> 08:59:55.000
I wonder.

08:59:55.000 --> 08:59:56.000
We'll see.

08:59:56.000 --> 09:00:00.000
how it goes because our next question is for another victory.

09:00:00.000 --> 09:00:03.400
Pokemon, this one is for another Squirtle.

09:00:03.400 --> 09:00:06.760
So maybe you could just collect Squirtles over there, Josiah.

09:00:06.760 --> 09:00:07.560
Let's see.

09:00:07.560 --> 09:00:10.280
It is another Pokemon XP question.

09:00:10.280 --> 09:00:12.960
Did you enjoy yourself this weekend?

09:00:12.960 --> 09:00:16.320
Enough is really what this trivia is all about.

09:00:16.320 --> 09:00:20.680
Which Pokemon is the focus of the sneak peek trailer

09:00:20.680 --> 09:00:23.440
for the Pokemon Tales, the Misadventures of Surfetched

09:00:23.440 --> 09:00:24.400
and Pichu?

09:00:24.400 --> 09:00:31.400
Is it A, Surfetched, B, Wooloo, C, Pichu, or D, Rookie D?

09:00:31.400 --> 09:00:35.240
And this is a tricky question, because it was the Sneak Peek trailer.

09:00:35.240 --> 09:00:37.400
Oh, Josiah, which of these four?

09:00:37.400 --> 09:00:43.600
I feel like in the essence of this British kind of show, it would be a Wooloo.

09:00:43.600 --> 09:00:48.880
You're going with your, your home not, you're really trusting it.

09:00:48.880 --> 09:00:50.400
You flew all the way over here.

09:00:50.400 --> 09:00:51.240
Please.

09:00:51.240 --> 09:00:53.320
You are correct it wasn't Wooloo.

09:00:53.320 --> 09:00:54.160
You nailed it.

09:00:54.160 --> 09:00:58.000
And Galloway loves their sheep.

09:00:58.000 --> 09:00:58.840
It's really important.

09:00:58.840 --> 09:01:00.080
Yeah, Galarians love sheep.

09:01:00.080 --> 09:01:01.720
Yeah, it's very, very important.

09:01:01.720 --> 09:01:06.080
That does mean Josiah, you are number one Squirtle fan.

09:01:06.080 --> 09:01:06.920
Yeah.

09:01:06.920 --> 09:01:07.760
What did I say?

09:01:07.760 --> 09:01:09.280
Look at that!

09:01:09.280 --> 09:01:12.400
You may have preferred to get a Charmander at the beginning,

09:01:12.400 --> 09:01:13.520
but that one got out of there.

09:01:13.520 --> 09:01:14.840
Who cares? You're just a Squirtle guy.

09:01:14.840 --> 09:01:15.680
Yeah.

09:01:15.680 --> 09:01:16.440
I just want to shout out to my boy,

09:01:16.440 --> 09:01:18.440
Jen, one of our big man blastoids, you know?

09:01:18.440 --> 09:01:19.280
Yeah.

09:01:19.280 --> 09:01:20.120
Yeah.

09:01:20.120 --> 09:01:20.960
Yeah.

09:01:20.960 --> 09:01:21.960
It's beautiful.

09:01:21.960 --> 09:01:28.580
It's beautiful, but that means we've got some yeah now aqua jet does mean you can hop in front of anyone at any point

09:01:28.580 --> 09:01:32.580
And you'll still have all of your squirtles. So it's still good. Let's move on

09:01:32.960 --> 09:01:38.120
Yes, if I still had a drowsy and I blocked the one-time effect of Pokemon

09:01:38.120 --> 09:01:43.180
Would it work on all three squirtles or just one just one so the other two would still be useful, okay?

09:01:44.800 --> 09:01:49.520
But I do I do notice that you are asking a question about one competitor in particular

09:01:49.520 --> 09:01:52.520
I am trying to protect us.

09:01:52.520 --> 09:01:54.520
I'm tearing.

09:01:54.520 --> 09:01:59.520
Well, let's see how good you are at that because our next question is for a Charmin.

09:01:59.520 --> 09:02:03.520
It could all come down to this. Let's see how it goes.

09:02:03.520 --> 09:02:07.520
We have ourselves another multimedia question.

09:02:07.520 --> 09:02:11.520
Keep those eyes peeled as we play this clip.

09:02:19.520 --> 09:02:37.080
That is a very challenging one what how many how many Pikachu are there in I

09:02:37.080 --> 09:02:40.180
believe let me double check with production it was that final screen we

09:02:40.180 --> 09:02:45.660
saw correct how many more how many not how much oh sorry sorry it's not how

09:02:45.660 --> 09:02:51.220
It's how many more Pikachu there are than there are Eevee, so you have to do a little arithmetic

09:02:51.220 --> 09:02:53.780
We're giving you a math there was an Eevee on the screen

09:02:54.660 --> 09:03:02.300
I didn't even see the Eevee. Let's see if it works out for you if you guess is it 12 10 8 or 4

09:03:02.980 --> 09:03:09.020
All right, Arlie buzzed in first how many more Pikachu were there was it's either

09:03:09.020 --> 09:03:11.900
I think why I won't say I'd be 10

09:03:11.900 --> 09:03:18.180
You're going with B 10, which is incorrect. It was not 10. All right, Josiah

09:03:18.820 --> 09:03:23.140
12 8 or 4 12 you're going with 12 and

09:03:23.860 --> 09:03:29.980
You're not right. It was not 12 more leaving it with 8 and 4 for you, Tony. I

09:03:30.740 --> 09:03:32.740
Didn't even see any easy on

09:03:35.260 --> 09:03:38.020
Where was he be on the screen right in the center

09:03:38.020 --> 09:03:41.480
All right, we're gonna say C8 and cross my fingers.

09:03:41.480 --> 09:03:44.320
I'm gonna go with C8, and it's gonna work out for you.

09:03:44.320 --> 09:03:45.320
No, no, no, no!

09:03:45.320 --> 09:03:47.820
C8, no, no, no!

09:03:47.820 --> 09:03:48.820
Incredible.

09:03:48.820 --> 09:03:49.820
Let's take a look.

09:03:49.820 --> 09:03:50.820
Yeah.

09:03:50.820 --> 09:03:53.160
All right, let's take a look at that leaderboard.

09:03:53.160 --> 09:03:57.840
You are gonna have to remove one of these Pokemon, but I am actually hearing at this

09:03:57.840 --> 09:04:02.200
point in time, we are running out of time, which means we are gonna have to go to

09:04:02.200 --> 09:04:04.520
a very special question next.

09:04:04.520 --> 09:04:05.520
Oh.

09:04:05.520 --> 09:04:06.520
A one-hit KO question.

09:04:06.520 --> 09:04:07.520
Oh.

09:04:07.520 --> 09:04:10.160
At this point, it's anyone's game.

09:04:10.160 --> 09:04:11.160
Yeah, all right.

09:04:11.160 --> 09:04:13.160
We've made it to the end.

09:04:13.160 --> 09:04:16.240
Unfortunately, Ziya did not get the Charmander

09:04:16.240 --> 09:04:18.720
because he got an interrupt from Tony.

09:04:18.720 --> 09:04:20.000
Tony, what would you like to do?

09:04:20.000 --> 09:04:21.640
I want just Ziya's Bulbasaur.

09:04:21.640 --> 09:04:26.200
Just for fun.

09:04:26.200 --> 09:04:27.200
Just for fun.

09:04:27.200 --> 09:04:28.200
Yeah, just for fun.

09:04:28.200 --> 09:04:29.200
Thank you, man.

09:04:29.200 --> 09:04:30.200
Production.

09:04:30.200 --> 09:04:31.200
Thank you.

09:04:31.200 --> 09:04:32.200
I mean, you're going to take it.

09:04:32.200 --> 09:04:34.560
OK, before we do that, you do have to add a Charmander

09:04:34.560 --> 09:04:35.560
to your collection.

09:04:35.560 --> 09:04:38.500
You replace the ditto that is the Charmander?

09:04:38.500 --> 09:04:39.240
Yes.

09:04:39.240 --> 09:04:41.320
OK, we are replacing that ditto that

09:04:41.320 --> 09:04:44.720
was used to be a Charmander with a full Charmander.

09:04:44.720 --> 09:04:47.560
And that does mean just because we want to see the clip.

09:04:47.560 --> 09:04:49.440
Can we see Meowth, please?

09:04:49.440 --> 09:04:51.240
I want to hear that song.

09:04:51.240 --> 09:04:52.120
I think it's great.

09:04:52.120 --> 09:04:56.400
[? ? ?]

09:04:56.400 --> 09:04:57.000
All right.

09:04:57.000 --> 09:05:00.920
And that does mean that you can steal the Bulbasaur

09:05:00.920 --> 09:05:03.360
from Durag Dragon right now, Tony.

09:05:03.360 --> 09:05:06.240
So at our leaderboard, before we move in,

09:05:06.240 --> 09:05:09.800
this is truly just an aura farming moment, I think.

09:05:09.800 --> 09:05:11.800
You're just doing it because you can.

09:05:11.800 --> 09:05:13.360
And I think that that's beautiful.

09:05:13.360 --> 09:05:17.440
That does mean that now Tony has a Bulbasaur.

09:05:17.440 --> 09:05:19.440
You're going to have to replace another Pokemon

09:05:19.440 --> 09:05:20.280
in order to see it.

09:05:20.280 --> 09:05:21.240
The Magikarp can go.

09:05:21.240 --> 09:05:22.360
He served his purpose.

09:05:22.360 --> 09:05:23.600
Goodbye, Magikarp.

09:05:23.600 --> 09:05:25.200
Hello, Bulbasaur.

09:05:25.200 --> 09:05:29.320
At the end, that does mean that you do have three.

09:05:29.320 --> 09:05:30.360
But that doesn't mean anything,

09:05:30.360 --> 09:05:32.320
because we're going into an all-in-one-hit KO question.

09:05:32.320 --> 09:05:35.520
So unfortunately, we are going to move into that,

09:05:35.520 --> 09:05:38.420
but before we do, I would love to just take,

09:05:38.420 --> 09:05:39.680
just please humor me,

09:05:39.680 --> 09:05:41.800
I'd love to get a picture with all three of you right now,

09:05:41.800 --> 09:05:42.640
shall we?

09:05:42.640 --> 09:05:44.600
And while we have this beautiful audience,

09:05:44.600 --> 09:05:47.460
I'm gonna get a selfie, please everyone,

09:05:47.460 --> 09:05:49.480
I'm gonna make it as wide as possible

09:05:49.480 --> 09:05:51.800
to see all of us take a look over here,

09:05:51.800 --> 09:05:53.200
three, two, one.

09:05:53.200 --> 09:05:58.200
A beautiful, great, all right, that was for me,

09:06:00.000 --> 09:06:01.240
that was just for me.

09:06:01.240 --> 09:06:06.040
And that means we are moving into the final question.

09:06:06.040 --> 09:06:08.200
The one that decides it all.

09:06:08.200 --> 09:06:11.040
It is a one hit KO question.

09:06:11.040 --> 09:06:11.880
No, not that one.

09:06:11.880 --> 09:06:12.720
Not again.

09:06:12.720 --> 09:06:14.240
We're not doing that one, don't worry.

09:06:14.240 --> 09:06:16.320
We're not doing how many more Pikachu there are.

09:06:16.320 --> 09:06:17.760
But let me double check.

09:06:17.760 --> 09:06:18.880
Count it up, count it up.

09:06:18.880 --> 09:06:20.560
We don't want to do math here.

09:06:20.560 --> 09:06:22.080
It's been a long weekend.

09:06:22.080 --> 09:06:23.800
All of our brains are fried.

09:06:23.800 --> 09:06:27.920
This next question is an animation question.

09:06:27.920 --> 09:06:29.400
OK.

09:06:29.400 --> 09:06:37.000
Which of the following is a move that Ashes Pikachu has never known?

09:06:37.000 --> 09:06:39.000
This is a very challenging one.

09:06:39.000 --> 09:06:42.100
Which of these has Ashes Pikachu never known?

09:06:42.100 --> 09:06:48.000
Is it A, double edge, B, Thunder Wave, C, Agility, or DH?

09:06:48.000 --> 09:06:51.200
There! Oh, an interruption from Duregg Dragon.

09:06:51.200 --> 09:06:52.500
You just want to say, hey?

09:06:52.500 --> 09:06:54.700
Because you can't use any of your moves right now.

09:06:54.700 --> 09:06:57.700
Oh, okay, you have to say, hey.

09:06:57.700 --> 09:07:00.420
You wanted to, I know what you wanted to say.

09:07:00.420 --> 09:07:01.900
I was just saying, hey.

09:07:01.900 --> 09:07:05.700
Wait, are we allowed to?

09:07:05.700 --> 09:07:08.300
Producers, is that true?

09:07:09.140 --> 09:07:12.580
Oh, producers, I'm glad to hear that.

09:07:12.580 --> 09:07:14.340
You can interrupt right now.

09:07:14.340 --> 09:07:15.180
I can.

09:07:15.180 --> 09:07:17.420
You can use all three of those Squirtle Cards.

09:07:17.420 --> 09:07:19.420
I can use my Squirtle Cards.

09:07:19.420 --> 09:07:20.900
I can use my Squirtle Cards.

09:07:20.900 --> 09:07:24.820
It's, you have worked so hard.

09:07:24.820 --> 09:07:30.820
Josiah, it's only right. Let's see that Aquajet footage.

09:07:30.820 --> 09:07:38.820
Did you save it for the right time, Josiah?

09:07:38.820 --> 09:07:44.820
That does mean you jump ahead and you get first guess on this question.

09:07:44.820 --> 09:07:48.820
Which of these moves? Double Edge, Thunder Wave, Agility, or Lear?

09:07:48.820 --> 09:07:57.060
Listen before I answer yes, there is no way my goat would ever use this move. Okay, okay

09:07:57.500 --> 09:07:59.500
Okay, big words

09:08:00.580 --> 09:08:02.580
I'm gonna go with D

09:08:02.620 --> 09:08:05.420
Yeah, you're gonna go with D leader

09:08:06.700 --> 09:08:08.700
But Pikachu does

09:08:08.700 --> 09:08:10.700
That's right!

09:08:10.700 --> 09:08:12.700
That's right!

09:08:12.700 --> 09:08:14.700
Oh my God!

09:08:14.700 --> 09:08:16.700
Tony, it's your option.

09:08:16.700 --> 09:08:18.700
I'm gonna say B Thunder Wave.

09:08:18.700 --> 09:08:20.700
You're gonna go with B Thunder Wave,

09:08:20.700 --> 09:08:22.700
and you would be correct!

09:08:22.700 --> 09:08:24.700
Wow!

09:08:24.700 --> 09:08:26.700
Incredible!

09:08:26.700 --> 09:08:28.700
Good goal!

09:08:28.700 --> 09:08:30.700
Amazing, and with that successful answer,

09:08:30.700 --> 09:08:32.700
Tony Weaver Jr.

09:08:32.700 --> 09:08:34.700
is the winner of the Pokemon XT!

09:08:34.700 --> 09:08:37.360
Come on XT, you gotta catch the ball!

09:08:37.360 --> 09:08:38.700
Game's done!

09:08:40.700 --> 09:08:41.700
Thank you.

09:08:41.700 --> 09:08:43.700
Beautiful, you got a tonguey deep breath.

09:08:43.700 --> 09:08:46.200
Some words for your adoring fans.

09:08:46.200 --> 09:08:48.200
Please, they've all rooted for you.

09:08:48.200 --> 09:08:50.000
I like to think that we all won.

09:08:50.000 --> 09:08:52.700
We got to see a Gyarados, okay?

09:08:52.700 --> 09:08:54.200
And I love you.

09:08:55.700 --> 09:08:58.200
It's all been smoothed over.

09:08:58.200 --> 09:09:00.200
And with that, Trainers,

09:09:00.200 --> 09:09:01.700
it is the end of our game today.

09:09:01.700 --> 09:09:06.200
Thank you all so much for coming out and hanging out with us and thank you on Twitch.

09:09:06.200 --> 09:09:08.200
Thank you our amazing contestants.

09:09:08.200 --> 09:09:14.200
And remember, if you'd like, go ahead and grab some stickers on your way out.

09:09:14.200 --> 09:09:16.200
Don't leave them in the convention center.

09:09:16.200 --> 09:09:17.200
Bring them, put them on your luggage.

09:09:17.200 --> 09:09:18.700
But we've got some Pokemon.

09:09:18.700 --> 09:09:22.200
Gotta catch them all, game show stickers for you as you leave.

09:09:22.200 --> 09:09:27.200
And can we also get a huge round of applause for our amazing production staff?

09:09:27.200 --> 09:09:34.800
We would love to hear from you about your experience with this game show.

09:09:34.800 --> 09:09:39.200
You should have on your dashboard just a little answer if you'd like to throw in there.

09:09:39.200 --> 09:09:43.200
And for our Twitch please use hashtag Pokemon Game Show.

09:09:43.200 --> 09:09:44.200
We'll be sure to take a look.

09:09:44.200 --> 09:09:50.200
And that is our end of both this game show and Pokemon XP.

09:09:50.200 --> 09:09:54.200
Thank you all so much for coming out.

09:09:54.200 --> 09:09:57.200
Goodbye, Durett Dragon. Goodbye, Tony Weaver, Jr.

09:09:57.200 --> 09:09:58.640
Goodbye, Party Arly.

09:09:58.640 --> 09:10:02.440
And a big smelly elator from me, Ryan and David Gilbert.

09:10:02.440 --> 09:10:04.400
Thank you so much for coming out.

09:10:04.400 --> 09:10:06.000
Have a great night.

09:10:06.000 --> 09:10:07.600
Goodbye, everybody.

09:10:07.600 --> 09:10:09.240
It's been so much fun.

09:10:09.240 --> 09:10:10.040
Oh!

09:10:10.040 --> 09:10:11.040
It's been so great.

09:10:11.040 --> 09:10:12.040
Bye!

09:12:42.040 --> 09:12:55.520
Welcome back to Pokemon XP coming to you live from Rayquaza Road.

09:12:55.520 --> 09:13:00.120
I am Anna joined by all our hosts, Rachel Glitter and Joshua.

09:13:00.120 --> 09:13:04.240
The Gotta Catch Them All game show, Rachel, that last question, I would love for you

09:13:04.240 --> 09:13:11.320
to reenact what you said when we saw the options of what Pikachu would never use.

09:13:11.320 --> 09:13:16.080
and D-Rag Dragon obviously knows Pokemon very well and and this was a thing that I

09:13:16.080 --> 09:13:19.400
thought when he said it because it sounded so true Pikachu would never but

09:13:19.400 --> 09:13:23.280
then my brain goes yeah and it looks like

09:13:24.280 --> 09:13:29.080
we've all seen this Pikachu gift so I totally understand my forget it was

09:13:29.080 --> 09:13:33.520
Leer but came roaring back to me you remember too right? As soon as you did it I was like I know

09:13:33.520 --> 09:13:39.320
exactly what you were talking about and now I'm going to re-remember and

09:13:39.320 --> 09:13:42.680
never forget it. It's the power of the mean. It sticks with you. I just thought the internet

09:13:42.680 --> 09:13:48.040
should have the opportunity to have that gift as well. Oh, that Rachel just... It was actually

09:13:48.040 --> 09:13:54.520
perfect to be fair. It keeps on gifting. Yeah, any other reactions from the game show? Givable

09:13:54.520 --> 09:13:59.880
ones, please? I think the audience was definitely having a great time. Fantastic hosting.

09:13:59.880 --> 09:14:03.520
And even I was taking some notes of going deeper into the lore of Pokémon. So it

09:14:03.520 --> 09:14:07.840
was great. I was going to say, I think it's just... It was a perfect representation

09:14:07.840 --> 09:14:13.760
of the vibe of the weekend. It was so much fun and they were all there to try to best

09:14:13.760 --> 09:14:18.280
each other on their Pokemon knowledge in the most enjoyable and entertaining way.

09:14:18.280 --> 09:14:21.000
Yes, absolutely. And like, no shade when you're wrong.

09:14:21.000 --> 09:14:22.000
Right, exactly.

09:14:22.000 --> 09:14:25.920
There's way too much to know, way too many Pokemon to know everything about. So I think

09:14:25.920 --> 09:14:29.800
that's cool when we're able to just celebrate that and show that it's cool to...

09:14:29.800 --> 09:14:31.800
You teach me and I teach you.

09:14:31.800 --> 09:14:33.680
Did you laugh? I promised you guys would laugh.

09:14:33.680 --> 09:14:34.680
Yes, yes.

09:14:34.680 --> 09:14:40.200
for sure. Now speaking of play, I think you went down to the Pokemon Play Lab.

09:14:40.200 --> 09:14:43.620
I did, I did. Yeah, so we're gonna talk to a number of different people and for

09:14:43.620 --> 09:14:47.000
folks that maybe haven't really understood the mechanics yet of the

09:14:47.000 --> 09:14:50.160
trading card game. They have a lot of different ways for people to be able to

09:14:50.160 --> 09:14:54.360
test it out to learn the mechanics and they have really really big cards there

09:14:54.360 --> 09:14:58.160
as well which creates great representation for what the artwork looks

09:14:58.160 --> 09:15:01.640
like in a blown-up form. It was really cool to see a lot of people

09:15:01.640 --> 09:15:06.260
come up to us and want to know more about Pokemon and what we're doing at

09:15:06.260 --> 09:15:10.440
Pokemon XP. So a big shout out to all those folks that came by and said hi and

09:15:10.440 --> 09:15:14.960
again just really feeling the positivity all weekend long. And I believe we have a

09:15:14.960 --> 09:15:19.560
video of your visit, yeah? We do, we do. Let's go ahead and check it out.

09:16:31.640 --> 09:17:00.480
That looks like so much fun, did you have fun down there?

09:17:00.480 --> 09:17:03.720
I did, and to showcase what we had down there

09:17:03.720 --> 09:17:05.480
for folks ready to learn the games a little bit better,

09:17:05.480 --> 09:17:07.880
I just wanted to show some of the artwork here.

09:17:07.880 --> 09:17:10.920
And, you know, when we got to see a lot of the different

09:17:10.920 --> 09:17:14.000
types of artwork displayed throughout the entire weekend,

09:17:14.000 --> 09:17:15.600
it's a little bit nicer to have it blown up.

09:17:15.600 --> 09:17:16.920
Yeah, that's really cool.

09:17:16.920 --> 09:17:18.160
Wait, do you have lots of those?

09:17:18.160 --> 09:17:19.120
I have a couple of them.

09:17:19.120 --> 09:17:19.960
Do you have a full deck?

09:17:19.960 --> 09:17:21.320
This is playable and I can read it.

09:17:21.320 --> 09:17:22.160
Oh yeah, yeah.

09:17:22.160 --> 09:17:23.000
Right to the end.

09:17:23.000 --> 09:17:24.000
I do not have a full deck,

09:17:24.000 --> 09:17:25.640
but we'll go through the cards that we have here.

09:17:25.640 --> 09:17:26.680
Let me ask her out of there.

09:17:26.680 --> 09:17:27.760
All right.

09:17:27.760 --> 09:17:29.040
Oh, Florida got to it.

09:17:29.040 --> 09:17:32.200
Do you have the full line, the full evolutionary line?

09:17:32.200 --> 09:17:33.700
Yeah, that's pretty nice.

09:17:33.700 --> 09:17:35.200
That's pretty nice to read too.

09:17:35.200 --> 09:17:36.400
Okay, all right.

09:17:36.400 --> 09:17:38.000
With the flowers.

09:17:38.000 --> 09:17:39.040
And the energy.

09:17:39.040 --> 09:17:40.500
You need the energy to work with us.

09:17:40.500 --> 09:17:42.500
Okay, for each Chinese in here.

09:17:42.500 --> 09:17:43.500
Our solution.

09:17:43.500 --> 09:17:44.500
Our solution.

09:17:44.500 --> 09:17:46.700
Everything Josh has learned about going through cars.

09:17:46.700 --> 09:17:47.700
I know, I love this.

09:17:47.700 --> 09:17:48.700
I love this.

09:17:48.700 --> 09:17:49.700
You guys are such great teachers.

09:17:49.700 --> 09:17:50.700
What am I?

09:17:50.700 --> 09:17:51.700
Queen.

09:17:51.700 --> 09:17:52.700
Oh, my queen.

09:17:52.700 --> 09:17:54.200
Okay, and that's everything within the deck itself.

09:17:54.200 --> 09:17:55.200
Wow, cool.

09:17:55.200 --> 09:17:57.300
Just a really nice way for folks to learn.

09:17:57.300 --> 09:18:04.420
And also, I wanted to showcase this, so there is a demo deck right here, so you can enjoy

09:18:04.420 --> 09:18:08.820
one of these if you stop by Pokemon Play Lab, and you get one of these buttons.

09:18:08.820 --> 09:18:10.620
Oh, you graduated!

09:18:10.620 --> 09:18:11.620
Oh, congratulations!

09:18:11.620 --> 09:18:12.620
Thank you very much.

09:18:12.620 --> 09:18:13.620
You should be very proud.

09:18:13.620 --> 09:18:14.620
Who's a DPA?

09:18:14.620 --> 09:18:15.620
I will.

09:18:15.620 --> 09:18:16.620
Um, good enough.

09:18:16.620 --> 09:18:17.620
That's what it was.

09:18:17.620 --> 09:18:18.620
That's what it was.

09:18:18.620 --> 09:18:19.620
That's what it was.

09:18:19.620 --> 09:18:23.260
But a huge thank you to everybody that was down at Pokemon Play Lab.

09:18:23.260 --> 09:18:27.940
Again, another wonderful experience across all the different wonderful experiences that

09:18:27.940 --> 09:18:32.900
we have seen, heard, and we got to see as well to go check out.

09:18:32.900 --> 09:18:35.980
And I can't even believe it's the end of Day 3, folks, and we're coming down to the

09:18:35.980 --> 09:18:36.980
wire to the end.

09:18:36.980 --> 09:18:37.980
I know.

09:18:37.980 --> 09:18:39.340
And there's been so many things to see, like you said.

09:18:39.340 --> 09:18:42.980
And we've really enjoyed seeing what you have been up to using the hashtag Pokemon

09:18:42.980 --> 09:18:43.980
XP.

09:18:43.980 --> 09:18:46.780
Let's check just a few more messages and posts from you.

09:18:46.780 --> 09:18:49.180
I'd love to see what you've been up to.

09:18:49.180 --> 09:18:54.580
First of all, TGL 1992, just killing time, sitting and vibing at Pokemon World and Pokemon

09:18:54.580 --> 09:18:57.140
XP before I leave the city in a few hours.

09:18:57.140 --> 09:18:59.780
Just wanted to say how amazing and awesome this weekend was.

09:18:59.780 --> 09:19:05.300
I had so much fun and took so many photos and videos, what a time to be a Pokemon fan.

09:19:05.300 --> 09:19:09.900
That what a time to be a Pokemon fan is such a good encapsulation of how I feel about

09:19:09.900 --> 09:19:10.900
this weekend.

09:19:10.900 --> 09:19:13.980
You know, people are always like, I maybe I don't know that much about Pokemon, Rachel,

09:19:13.980 --> 09:19:14.980
you're really into Pokemon.

09:19:14.980 --> 09:19:16.860
Like there's never been a better time to get involved.

09:19:16.860 --> 09:19:20.320
It's never been, you know, so many windows to walk through.

09:19:20.320 --> 09:19:21.320
Or doors, even.

09:19:21.320 --> 09:19:27.140
You can walk through windows if you want to, you know, do your own thing.

09:19:27.140 --> 09:19:30.620
Alright, any more posts we can see from the hashtag Pokemon XP?

09:19:30.620 --> 09:19:36.460
Great, look at this, BRC DevGee, last day of Pokemon XP and there's still so much to

09:19:36.460 --> 09:19:37.460
do.

09:19:37.460 --> 09:19:41.060
Attendees can earn special prizes at the different event activations plus they can

09:19:41.060 --> 09:19:43.700
try out recent titles like Pokemon Champions.

09:19:43.700 --> 09:19:49.420
Ooh, the photo too. I like that. That's kind of our job. They're summarizing it for us.

09:19:49.420 --> 09:19:52.940
They took such a nice photo that I was just like, oh, and they put a logo up.

09:19:52.940 --> 09:19:59.060
No, this is the view from the top of the escalators heading on down into the expo floor right beneath

09:19:59.060 --> 09:20:01.900
Requizer Road and you can capture it here.

09:20:01.900 --> 09:20:05.540
I believe that's the side of the 30 celebrations booth. Is that right?

09:20:05.540 --> 09:20:07.660
Yes, no, no, no, you're correct. Okay, cool.

09:20:07.660 --> 09:20:09.340
They go down and then to the left and it's right there.

09:20:09.340 --> 09:20:13.340
Yeah, yeah, I love that one. So if you have time before things close, go down

09:20:13.340 --> 09:20:20.820
check it out. Here's C3Pengie in my element, Pokemon XP. Aw, with the, so cute. That is

09:20:20.820 --> 09:20:24.860
so adorable. I feel like all of us have posed with favorite Pokemon we found around the

09:20:24.860 --> 09:20:29.180
convention this weekend, yeah? Absolutely. Aw, with the Pokemon Champions in the back.

09:20:29.180 --> 09:20:33.940
That kid looking so cute. Alright, Balta says, for the first time I did cosplay

09:20:33.940 --> 09:20:39.780
outside of my house, cosplay of Sabrina in Canto. Aw, so cool. What the hell?

09:20:39.780 --> 09:20:46.780
This is a perfect Sabrina! I'm so happy to see it! Do you remember that episode when her soul was caught in the dark soul?

09:20:46.780 --> 09:20:48.780
Actually, now that you say it, yes.

09:20:48.780 --> 09:20:50.780
Oh, the VIP!

09:20:50.780 --> 09:20:59.780
Awww, epically Dave says we got to meet our favorite OG Pokémon this weekend and my heart smiled so large seeing my husband get excited at Pokémon XP.

09:20:59.780 --> 09:21:01.780
He loves Lapras!

09:21:01.780 --> 09:21:03.780
Oh my gosh.

09:21:03.780 --> 09:21:08.780
Lapras saw me and nodded at me and that's everything I've wanted in my entire life.

09:21:08.780 --> 09:21:14.860
Yeah, that was a big moment. I saw that happen. It was amazing. All right, Rachino says an

09:21:14.860 --> 09:21:21.420
unforgettable experience. I'll see you next time, Trainers, Pokemon XP, hashtag Pokemon

09:21:21.420 --> 09:21:23.380
Worlds. Where's that?

09:21:23.380 --> 09:21:32.980
It's so cute. Look at the mask over Pikachu's face. Such a good photo stop. I'm never

09:21:32.980 --> 09:21:38.980
forget that opening video with the space adventures. AndresL1997 says

09:21:38.980 --> 09:21:44.460
leaving Pokemon XP one last time. I won't ever forget this event. It has to be my

09:21:44.460 --> 09:21:47.460
favorite convention I've ever attended.

09:21:47.460 --> 09:21:52.620
Yeah, yeah. Easy same. I don't know about the convention. Sorry guys, not

09:21:52.620 --> 09:21:55.580
remember this. No, it's it's true. It's amazing with the gas in the background.

09:21:55.580 --> 09:21:59.180
Looks like it was taken down by the wharf's wharf stage too. Yeah. All right.

09:21:59.180 --> 09:22:07.680
and PancakeXCat had so much fun at Pokemon XP and Worlds this weekend with CodeStar.

09:22:07.680 --> 09:22:12.680
It was so much fun to celebrate Pokemon and meet so many other fans.

09:22:12.680 --> 09:22:18.180
And right next to the Umbreon on the rings of the planet, one of my favorite motifs from this week.

09:22:18.180 --> 09:22:19.680
I need a picture there.

09:22:19.680 --> 09:22:20.680
Yeah, where's that?

09:22:20.680 --> 09:22:21.680
I heard it.

09:22:21.680 --> 09:22:22.680
I haven't gone past that one either.

09:22:22.680 --> 09:22:23.180
I know.

09:22:23.180 --> 09:22:23.680
So many cool photos.

09:22:23.680 --> 09:22:24.180
Yeah.

09:22:24.180 --> 09:22:25.680
The photo ops are amazing.

09:22:25.680 --> 09:22:32.040
Alright looks like we have one last thing to check in on and that is the Rayquaza build

09:22:32.040 --> 09:22:36.460
We've been watching with baited breath. Will they finish the giant Rayquaza?

09:22:38.520 --> 09:22:43.000
Gorgeous oh and a mini right next to it too. I didn't know that example

09:22:43.000 --> 09:22:47.640
Yeah, it was it was you they just put them stacked right next to each other. It's kind of like it almost looks like a baby

09:22:47.640 --> 09:22:50.640
You can't tell you can't erase that ever again.

09:22:50.640 --> 09:22:53.640
This is month one, this is month two.

09:22:53.640 --> 09:22:56.640
We got to do exactly what they're doing and get a picture in front of it.

09:22:56.640 --> 09:23:00.640
Look at the, I don't know, are these horns that Rikweza has? Ears?

09:23:00.640 --> 09:23:04.640
Whatever those protrusions at the top of Rikweza's head are,

09:23:04.640 --> 09:23:07.640
I'm amazed how they're constructed out of Lego.

09:23:07.640 --> 09:23:11.640
So much care went into this and so much effort from so many attendees.

09:23:11.640 --> 09:23:12.640
Yes.

09:23:12.640 --> 09:23:15.640
This was attendees assembling it piece by piece, handing it to the builders.

09:23:15.640 --> 09:23:19.760
Yeah, and so this is not just an act of love from a couple of Lego builders

09:23:19.760 --> 09:23:25.440
This is the attendees a literal community effort to build the Rayquaza on Rayquaza road

09:23:25.440 --> 09:23:26.520
It looks fantastic

09:23:26.520 --> 09:23:30.280
We were maybe a little worried on that first day where we were not seeing you know

09:23:30.280 --> 09:23:35.360
There was a lot of base to build for that Rayquaza, but they really told it out strong foundations

09:23:35.520 --> 09:23:40.560
You can build up from there. That's a good lesson learned. That is so true. Very Pokemon too

09:23:40.560 --> 09:23:46.920
All right, and I'm really excited about this next video because I have heard all about the Pikachu dance

09:23:46.920 --> 09:23:52.120
That has been going on and we have not gone to see it because it's often been happening behind us or on a stage

09:23:52.120 --> 09:23:56.000
That we're not at so we have a video of Pikachu dance. Let's check it out

09:27:10.560 --> 09:27:12.560
Oh

09:32:10.560 --> 09:32:12.560
I

09:34:10.560 --> 09:34:18.640
What joy! What joy it brings us! We were yelling Pikachu too.

09:34:18.640 --> 09:34:20.640
Oh yeah, we all were.

09:34:20.640 --> 09:34:24.140
Okay, but when the jiggle? A little pause in jiggle.

09:34:24.140 --> 09:34:34.560
I didn't know about the dream I had to be a dancer with Pikachu in Pikachu Dance, but

09:34:34.560 --> 09:34:38.040
I would like to apply. Please let me know where I may audition. I'm very serious

09:34:38.040 --> 09:34:42.600
about this I'm not joking I can do a double pirouette please call me I am ready

09:34:42.600 --> 09:34:47.960
I am so excited oh my gosh to work with the Pikachu to I know four of them it's

09:34:47.960 --> 09:34:52.880
a lofty goal I know but maybe maybe Pikachu will let me audition that was

09:34:52.880 --> 09:34:59.920
that was incredible I I hate to say this no I'm not gonna listen I don't

09:34:59.920 --> 09:35:03.560
want to see you never say it's not true but just stay here all day luckily

09:35:03.560 --> 09:35:10.240
we have a few moments. And with those moments, what I'd like to ask you is, what was your

09:35:10.240 --> 09:35:15.080
favorite moment? Or, because I think picking a favorite, I hate favorites. It's really

09:35:15.080 --> 09:35:20.120
too hard for me when there's so much good happening. But one of your favorite moments,

09:35:20.120 --> 09:35:22.960
and it doesn't have to be the overall impressions. We're going to talk about that in a second.

09:35:22.960 --> 09:35:23.960
Sure, sure.

09:35:23.960 --> 09:35:27.000
Just like a moment that's going to stick with you that you really loved over this

09:35:27.000 --> 09:35:28.000
event.

09:35:28.000 --> 09:35:29.680
I'll go first.

09:35:29.680 --> 09:35:32.440
Yes. That was one.

09:35:32.440 --> 09:35:35.440
Absolutely, absolutely.

09:35:35.440 --> 09:35:43.440
Evolutions is so good in the world of cosplay and so good in the world of creation.

09:35:43.440 --> 09:35:48.440
And so to be up at the workshops today and to really feel the joy of Pokemon in arts and crafts

09:35:48.440 --> 09:35:52.440
was absolutely fantastic and something I was really surprised by today.

09:35:52.440 --> 09:35:57.440
I thought I had seen it all, but there's another section at Pokemon XP that I didn't even know existed.

09:35:57.440 --> 09:36:01.440
I didn't even think I'd be interested in, but guess what? I loved it.

09:36:01.440 --> 09:36:03.800
So that was one of my favorite moments today.

09:36:03.800 --> 09:36:06.000
Nice. Nice. Good one. All right.

09:36:06.800 --> 09:36:07.500
Favorite moment.

09:36:07.500 --> 09:36:10.340
I think one of my favorite moments has to be

09:36:12.940 --> 09:36:15.680
getting to go build today.

09:36:15.680 --> 09:36:18.240
The Lego Pokeball with all of you.

09:36:18.240 --> 09:36:20.580
Is this favorites just today or favorite overall?

09:36:21.240 --> 09:36:25.380
I mean, over all, I mean, no, it doesn't have to be favorite.

09:36:25.380 --> 09:36:28.580
Does that mean one of my favorite moments from the entire weekend

09:36:28.580 --> 09:36:33.100
It was when we finally got to all four go build LEGO Pokéballs together.

09:36:33.100 --> 09:36:38.260
Even if we made it a little bit of a challenge, we got to do the activity together.

09:36:38.260 --> 09:36:43.100
We were all, and by all, I'm including all of you, equally as obsessed with the LEGOs

09:36:43.100 --> 09:36:44.100
I was.

09:36:44.100 --> 09:36:45.100
Yes, yes, of course.

09:36:45.100 --> 09:36:48.180
So then we got to finally, I was looking for that Pokéball everywhere, trying to

09:36:48.180 --> 09:36:50.780
figure out how to get it, and then we got to go enjoy that together.

09:36:50.780 --> 09:36:52.660
That's all I needed.

09:36:52.660 --> 09:36:54.500
And it was a chaotic group experience.

09:36:54.500 --> 09:36:55.500
Yes.

09:36:55.500 --> 09:36:57.380
Together was really a factor in there.

09:36:57.380 --> 09:37:01.300
little buckets and we had to share and call who we needed and I as soon as we

09:37:01.300 --> 09:37:04.600
did it I was jealous of everyone else who'd been aware of it all week and I was like this

09:37:04.600 --> 09:37:08.800
must have been so fun! It was really fun how collaborative it was. Yeah. Yeah.

09:37:08.800 --> 09:37:13.240
All right Rachel, something a moment that's gonna stick with you.

09:37:13.240 --> 09:37:17.320
Production, do we have tissues on hand? I just want to double check ahead of time.

09:37:17.320 --> 09:37:21.320
You can take it. Here, my Corbaud jacket is ready for you. Thank you.

09:37:21.320 --> 09:37:29.600
the people. Tell me more. No. That's why I'm saying just the favorite, because look,

09:37:29.600 --> 09:37:33.800
we're gonna talk about like what's gonna stick with you overall as like impressions of the

09:37:33.800 --> 09:37:41.620
event in a second when we will all cry. Before that, just a fun thing that you did. Rachel,

09:37:41.620 --> 09:37:47.840
hold it together! You're gonna say all of us off camera. No. Okay, how about how about when

09:37:47.840 --> 09:37:50.640
When you went to the 30 Years of Pokemon Museum.

09:37:50.640 --> 09:37:54.880
Yes, because everything that Pokemon is is so big at this event and when you go to the

09:37:54.880 --> 09:37:59.600
History Museum you see there's been going on for 30 years and you are hit with this time

09:37:59.600 --> 09:38:05.720
space distortion and suddenly you're both 10 and 38 and everything's amazing.

09:38:05.720 --> 09:38:07.520
So, thank you Pokemon.

09:38:07.520 --> 09:38:08.520
That's really cool.

09:38:08.520 --> 09:38:10.020
Yeah, no I didn't take it.

09:38:10.020 --> 09:38:11.360
I'm not looking at you anymore.

09:38:11.360 --> 09:38:12.360
I'm not looking at you anymore.

09:38:12.360 --> 09:38:13.360
Aren't you full of yourself?

09:38:13.360 --> 09:38:14.360
Stop it.

09:38:14.360 --> 09:38:15.360
I'm not.

09:38:15.360 --> 09:38:16.360
No.

09:38:16.360 --> 09:38:22.400
Okay, I will really calmly and coolly pick a favorite moment that's gonna stick with me.

09:38:22.400 --> 09:38:26.960
One of the visits that I got to do, I didn't get to do so many visits as you guys did, but

09:38:26.960 --> 09:38:29.240
one of them was that I got to go to the 30th celebration booth.

09:38:29.240 --> 09:38:32.640
I feel like I've brought it up a million times, but getting to walk into something

09:38:32.640 --> 09:38:39.320
that felt like an art museum, giving that much reverence to TCG card art, something

09:38:39.320 --> 09:38:43.080
that like I've only gotten more and more into over the past few years and has brought

09:38:43.080 --> 09:38:46.260
me some really amazing friends and some really amazing confidence.

09:38:46.260 --> 09:38:52.820
Dang it, which of us is not my blame Pokemon here, very thoroughly.

09:38:52.820 --> 09:38:56.580
Pokemon has instilled so many emotions, give me so many beautiful moments.

09:38:56.580 --> 09:39:01.340
Coming together in an event like this, community, you've made us so so proud with how wonderful

09:39:01.340 --> 09:39:05.300
you have done all weekend long and everything you've done for each other.

09:39:05.300 --> 09:39:06.460
That's really what does it.

09:39:06.460 --> 09:39:10.100
I was trying to just like keep us on the surface for a minute, but fine, let's

09:39:10.100 --> 09:39:11.100
go there.

09:39:11.100 --> 09:39:15.120
about like the thing you're leaving with the thing you want to leave the

09:39:15.120 --> 09:39:19.520
community with as we walk away from Pokemon XP what is really laying on

09:39:19.520 --> 09:39:24.840
your heart as we say goodbye winding the clocks back when I was first introduced

09:39:24.840 --> 09:39:29.520
to this little guy and to really experience the joy of playing role

09:39:29.520 --> 09:39:33.440
playing games back in the day and how Pokemon is able to capture the joy of

09:39:33.440 --> 09:39:36.440
a summer day going out and catching bugs and being involved in the natural

09:39:36.440 --> 09:39:39.440
world around you and how they were able to capture that and capture the

09:39:39.440 --> 09:39:45.120
social engagement of video games and the evolution of that through the animated

09:39:45.120 --> 09:39:48.560
show, through the films, through the trading card game and through multiple

09:39:48.560 --> 09:39:53.280
iterations and we got to see a number of different ways that these incredible

09:39:53.280 --> 09:39:57.360
characters are going to be expressed through film and animation and even more

09:39:57.360 --> 09:40:04.200
games and more trading cards. The experiences that I had when I ripped

09:40:04.200 --> 09:40:10.760
my first card pack and pulled my first ever shiny Alakazam and I remember the

09:40:10.760 --> 09:40:14.280
staff at the gaming store that I picked it up I was like oh there must be

09:40:14.280 --> 09:40:20.000
something special about you and that always stuck with me and for me

09:40:20.000 --> 09:40:25.800
coming to this event I'm an old 151 OG you know for me new was always my

09:40:25.800 --> 09:40:30.200
favorite new too was a little bit intimidating and to feel those same

09:40:30.200 --> 09:40:34.040
feeling seeing these Pokemon here and to see these young kids with their

09:40:34.040 --> 09:40:38.200
families experiencing that for the first time and the huge amount of joy and

09:40:38.200 --> 09:40:43.200
artistry and expression of love and how these characters have stuck with us for

09:40:43.200 --> 09:40:47.600
so long and what they represent and how we had so many different favorite

09:40:47.600 --> 09:40:52.800
Pokemon here at the desk was absolutely incredible and ultimately I couldn't

09:40:52.800 --> 09:40:57.200
think of anyone else better to share it with. Glitter, Rachel, Anna, you are

09:40:57.200 --> 09:41:01.760
incredible at your jobs. You made me feel so welcome. The community has made myself and

09:41:01.760 --> 09:41:07.480
maybe others that needed to catch up to Pokemon feel so welcome. And also your fashion is

09:41:07.480 --> 09:41:11.840
out of this world. I'm phenomenal. So I have to say this is one of my favorite events

09:41:11.840 --> 09:41:17.200
of all time. And I honestly feel we're only getting started. I could not think of a

09:41:17.200 --> 09:41:20.160
better way to experience Pokemon, but at Pokemon XP.

09:41:20.160 --> 09:41:23.160
Let's go down the line, Glitter, it's your turn.

09:41:23.160 --> 09:41:26.160
Okay, I'm going to try really hard not to cry.

09:41:26.160 --> 09:41:27.160
Is that working?

09:41:27.160 --> 09:41:28.160
Yeah, it is.

09:41:28.160 --> 09:41:31.160
Immediately it feels.

09:41:31.160 --> 09:41:35.160
Obviously coming into this as a new person, I was really, really nervous.

09:41:35.160 --> 09:41:38.160
I think, obviously I've loved Pokemon my whole life,

09:41:38.160 --> 09:41:42.160
but I think being the new person in a community is a little bit scary,

09:41:42.160 --> 09:41:45.160
and you never know how you're going to be received by anybody.

09:41:45.160 --> 09:41:47.160
And the community has been so fantastic.

09:41:47.160 --> 09:41:49.160
Everybody has been so kind, whether it's Twitch chat,

09:41:49.160 --> 09:41:58.720
chat, or you guys just being able to work with you on the desk and being so supportive.

09:41:58.720 --> 09:42:04.360
I never dreamed that I'd be able to work with a company like Pokemon, and having this be

09:42:04.360 --> 09:42:06.840
my first event ever is actually insane.

09:42:06.840 --> 09:42:11.320
This is like the best event to have this be my first event, and I just, I'm filled

09:42:11.320 --> 09:42:16.840
with so much gratitude and so much joy for being able to be involved in all of this.

09:42:16.840 --> 09:42:17.840
I'm so appreciative.

09:42:17.840 --> 09:42:18.840
Thank you for that.

09:42:18.840 --> 09:42:19.840
Thanks production.

09:42:19.840 --> 09:42:24.840
And you guys are just the best, and you've made me feel so welcome the whole time, and

09:42:24.840 --> 09:42:29.840
just thank you to everybody both behind the scenes and from the community for just making

09:42:29.840 --> 09:42:32.840
this such an amazing weekend for me.

09:42:32.840 --> 09:42:38.200
I don't think there can be a better testament to what Pokemon can do than looking at what

09:42:38.200 --> 09:42:42.120
it has done to the four of us in just three days.

09:42:42.120 --> 09:42:46.640
I knew how amazing Pokemon in its community was, and I was not prepared.

09:42:46.640 --> 09:42:51.280
single interaction I had walking Rayquaza Road, meeting trainers, stopping him and being like,

09:42:51.280 --> 09:42:54.560
your cosplay's amazing! And they would stop in their tracks, turn around and say,

09:42:54.560 --> 09:42:58.720
thank you so much! I actually, I brought something, I wanted to give this out to trainers.

09:42:58.720 --> 09:43:03.920
He gave me a small magnet, I gave him one of my trainer cards, and we're friends now. We,

09:43:03.920 --> 09:43:07.600
we had an interaction that was more than any interaction you're gonna have outside of Pokemon

09:43:07.600 --> 09:43:13.680
XP. But, as we go out into the world, I really hope that the Pokemon trainers here take that

09:43:13.680 --> 09:43:19.520
responsibility to be that example, to be the very best, and take that with him,

09:43:19.520 --> 09:43:23.240
Monday and Tuesday and every day onward, until we get to come back and do this again.

09:43:23.240 --> 09:43:35.320
What's on my heart? I've been doing this, this is my 11th year, coming to host

09:43:35.320 --> 09:43:42.280
Pokemon Worlds and now Pokemon XP, and what Pokemon XP has added to that for

09:43:42.280 --> 09:43:48.080
me. I've always, coming in way back then and almost every year, I'm really nervous.

09:43:48.080 --> 09:43:51.880
You know, I want to show up and I want to do Pokemon Justice and I want to be

09:43:51.880 --> 09:43:56.200
exactly what the community needs and I want to show up giving what the

09:43:56.200 --> 09:44:03.160
community needs in order to have the best experience possible. And I last year

09:44:03.160 --> 09:44:06.000
thought I couldn't top it because I got to show up not only doing that but

09:44:06.000 --> 09:44:10.600
also dancing and singing which are so important to me and I felt like I

09:44:10.600 --> 09:44:17.600
I got to speak to so many people to whom that was important, and I felt myself growing in confidence that I could show up as me.

09:44:17.600 --> 09:44:25.600
And this year, what Pokemon XP has told me is you can show up in your entirety, you can show up with all of you,

09:44:25.600 --> 09:44:28.600
you can show up and you can talk about how you love dressing like Pokemon Trainers,

09:44:28.600 --> 09:44:32.600
and you can show up with glue and felt, and that's important to people,

09:44:32.600 --> 09:44:36.600
and you can show up not knowing every entry to the Pokedex.

09:44:36.600 --> 09:44:42.160
Like you don't have to know everything because the point is that we're all here to talk about it and teach each other and

09:44:42.520 --> 09:44:48.800
That has been proven by every guest we had come up here every single one had unique perspectives and unique things that they were

09:44:49.240 --> 09:44:55.000
adding to and being inspired by in Pokemon that all of the metaphors that people brought up about

09:44:55.360 --> 09:44:57.360
growth and artistry and creativity

09:44:57.840 --> 09:44:59.840
It just made me feel very

09:44:59.840 --> 09:45:08.160
free to be myself in this community. And I hope that that's what it did for you too,

09:45:08.160 --> 09:45:12.960
as we were here covering Pokemon XP. And I hope that you see these tears as what they

09:45:12.960 --> 09:45:16.920
are, which I think, I don't want to speak for all of you, but I think what it is is this

09:45:16.920 --> 09:45:26.040
feeling of being seen and of being released to show joy. I think all of us in an epicenter

09:45:26.040 --> 09:45:33.400
of joy together. It's been it's been some unprecedented times you know and showing up to get to celebrate

09:45:33.400 --> 09:45:40.520
together like this has been really healing for me. Hey I want to say thank you to Anna for

09:45:40.520 --> 09:45:47.640
guiding this test through XP for bringing that 11 years of experience and the 15 years of hosting

09:45:47.640 --> 09:45:53.400
and broadcast that we've done together to the most important IP and the most important

09:45:53.400 --> 09:45:59.780
universe and the most important community that I can imagine. I think it is an amazing

09:45:59.780 --> 09:46:04.580
use of your skills, of all our skills and I'm so grateful for Pokemon for allowing us

09:46:04.580 --> 09:46:05.580
to do this.

09:46:05.580 --> 09:46:11.540
Yeah, me too. Before we say our goodbyes and go to closing ceremony, which by the way,

09:46:11.540 --> 09:46:15.960
this is the first time I've ever gotten to go to a closing ceremony as a spectator.

09:46:15.960 --> 09:46:20.780
I'm very excited. Gabby Durden is over there doing the job that I've gotten to do before.

09:46:20.780 --> 09:46:22.940
I'm so excited for her, I'm excited to watch her do that,

09:46:22.940 --> 09:46:24.660
I'm excited to see what we find out.

09:46:24.660 --> 09:46:27.340
But before we do that, before we say goodbye,

09:46:27.340 --> 09:46:28.540
Casual, where can people find you?

09:46:28.540 --> 09:46:29.900
What should they look for from you?

09:46:29.900 --> 09:46:32.220
Everybody can find me on all the socials,

09:46:32.220 --> 09:46:35.400
Mr. Joshua Gray, and I wanna say a huge thank you

09:46:35.400 --> 09:46:39.300
to all the interactions, both here and digitally.

09:46:39.300 --> 09:46:40.860
And I'd like to say a huge thank you

09:46:40.860 --> 09:46:42.660
to production and all the staff.

09:46:42.660 --> 09:46:44.340
We couldn't have done this without you.

09:46:44.340 --> 09:46:47.380
So thank you, everyone, for a phenomenal time.

09:46:47.380 --> 09:46:49.220
And I'll see you online.

09:46:49.220 --> 09:46:50.900
What about you, Glitter?

09:46:50.900 --> 09:46:54.780
For me, Glitter Explosion on everything.

09:46:54.780 --> 09:46:57.060
No E in the explosion.

09:46:57.060 --> 09:46:59.420
Twitch, Insta, everything for social media.

09:46:59.420 --> 09:47:01.060
I mean, I create content.

09:47:01.060 --> 09:47:02.420
I work in a lot of video games.

09:47:02.420 --> 09:47:04.740
And now I get to very proudly say

09:47:04.740 --> 09:47:07.180
that I work with Pokemon.

09:47:07.180 --> 09:47:11.620
Rachel, you can find me online at Seltzer Please

09:47:11.620 --> 09:47:13.180
on social media.

09:47:13.180 --> 09:47:15.820
And you can find me anywhere.

09:47:15.820 --> 09:47:18.460
They let me get close to Pokemon.

09:47:18.460 --> 09:47:20.380
is my favorite thing in the whole world

09:47:20.380 --> 09:47:23.380
and this weekend has proven exactly why.

09:47:25.220 --> 09:47:26.060
I love you so much.

09:47:26.060 --> 09:47:27.740
I love you too, Anna.

09:47:27.740 --> 09:47:30.540
You can find me at Anna Prosser everywhere

09:47:30.540 --> 09:47:32.140
that you get your social media.

09:47:32.140 --> 09:47:35.260
I post a lot of content about a lot of different things

09:47:35.260 --> 09:47:36.660
but inspired by last year,

09:47:36.660 --> 09:47:39.160
I just released my first original song

09:47:39.160 --> 09:47:42.060
that was inspired by Pokemon Legends ZA.

09:47:42.060 --> 09:47:44.820
So I hope you listen to it.

09:47:44.820 --> 09:47:45.900
I hope you enjoy it.

09:47:45.900 --> 09:47:48.940
And I hope that you will talk to us about Pokemon

09:47:48.940 --> 09:47:52.020
as we spend the next few weeks just thinking about everything

09:47:52.020 --> 09:47:53.100
that we've gotten to do here

09:47:53.100 --> 09:47:54.660
and re-watching all of the videos.

09:47:54.660 --> 09:47:57.220
So speaking of those videos,

09:47:57.220 --> 09:48:00.780
you don't know how many people have to work behind the scenes

09:48:00.780 --> 09:48:02.060
to make something like this work.

09:48:02.060 --> 09:48:03.540
So please send your good energy

09:48:03.540 --> 09:48:06.220
and your thanks to everyone who is behind these cameras

09:48:06.220 --> 09:48:07.220
and in our ears.

09:48:07.220 --> 09:48:09.780
Thank you so much for everything you've done.

09:48:09.780 --> 09:48:12.860
And now let's go watch some more artistry of that type

09:48:12.860 --> 09:48:14.980
at the closing ceremony.

09:48:14.980 --> 09:48:17.740
Stay tuned, don't go anywhere, see you soon!

09:48:17.740 --> 09:48:19.540
Bye, thank you for everything.

09:48:19.540 --> 09:48:42.060
Hey, everybody, we are here at Requizer Road where 50,000 people from around the world

09:48:42.060 --> 09:48:45.140
are ready to celebrate 30 years of Pokemon.

09:48:45.140 --> 09:48:47.140
Let's go ahead and check it out.

09:49:17.140 --> 09:49:19.140
I

09:51:47.140 --> 09:51:49.140

09:57:14.140 --> 09:57:16.140

09:58:44.140 --> 09:58:46.140

10:49:43.140 --> 10:49:46.140
I

10:49:46.140 --> 10:49:49.140
I

10:49:49.140 --> 10:49:51.140
I

10:49:51.140 --> 10:49:53.140
I

10:49:53.140 --> 10:49:55.140
I

10:49:55.140 --> 10:49:57.140
I

10:49:57.140 --> 10:49:59.140
I

10:50:59.140 --> 10:51:06.140
I

10:51:06.140 --> 10:51:09.140
I

10:51:09.140 --> 10:51:11.140
I

10:51:11.140 --> 10:51:13.140
I

10:51:13.140 --> 10:51:15.140
I

10:51:15.140 --> 10:51:17.140
I

10:51:17.140 --> 10:51:19.140
I

10:51:19.140 --> 10:51:21.140
I

10:51:21.140 --> 10:51:23.140
I

10:51:23.140 --> 10:51:25.140
I

10:56:55.140 --> 10:56:57.140
Oh

11:00:55.140 --> 11:00:57.140
I

11:01:55.140 --> 11:01:57.140
I

11:03:25.140 --> 11:03:27.140
I

11:03:55.140 --> 11:03:57.140
I

11:04:25.140 --> 11:04:27.140
I

11:05:55.140 --> 11:05:57.140
I

11:06:25.140 --> 11:06:27.140
I

11:06:55.140 --> 11:06:57.140
I

11:10:25.140 --> 11:10:27.140
I

11:19:25.140 --> 11:19:27.140
I

11:20:25.140 --> 11:20:27.140
I

11:21:25.140 --> 11:21:32.140
I

11:21:32.140 --> 11:21:35.140
I

11:21:35.140 --> 11:21:37.140
I

11:21:37.140 --> 11:21:39.140
I

11:21:39.140 --> 11:21:41.140
I

11:21:41.140 --> 11:21:43.140
I

11:21:43.140 --> 11:21:45.140
I

11:21:45.140 --> 11:21:47.140
I

11:21:47.140 --> 11:21:49.140
I

11:21:49.140 --> 11:21:51.140
I

11:27:51.140 --> 11:27:53.140
I

11:29:51.140 --> 11:29:53.140
I

11:34:21.140 --> 11:34:27.140
I'm not afraid of anything that's stuck in my hand

11:34:30.140 --> 11:34:35.140
All night, smooth sleep, just shy of the plan

11:34:38.140 --> 11:34:42.140
This is our time right now

11:34:42.140 --> 11:34:46.140
Have no fear, no doubt

11:34:46.140 --> 11:34:52.140
No, we won't back down

11:34:52.140 --> 11:34:55.140
We could be champions

11:34:55.140 --> 11:34:56.140
Side by side

11:34:56.140 --> 11:34:59.140
We'll be the star of the world

11:34:59.140 --> 11:35:00.140
We can go up high

11:35:00.140 --> 11:35:02.140
We're never so low

11:35:02.140 --> 11:35:04.140
Never so low

11:35:07.140 --> 11:35:10.140
We could be champions

11:35:10.140 --> 11:35:12.140
Yes, we're gonna take it all

11:35:12.140 --> 11:35:14.140
We're gonna win

11:35:14.140 --> 11:35:18.140
This is going to be the first time we've had it before

11:35:18.140 --> 11:35:22.140
This is going to be the first time we've had it before

11:35:22.140 --> 11:35:26.140
We could be every step, every turn

11:35:26.140 --> 11:35:30.140
It would carry the weight

11:35:30.140 --> 11:35:32.140
I'm, I'm, I'm

11:35:32.140 --> 11:35:34.140
I'm getting stronger

11:35:34.140 --> 11:35:37.140
I feel better when I'm big

11:35:37.140 --> 11:35:40.140
Yeah, yeah

11:35:40.140 --> 11:35:42.140
This is our time

11:35:42.140 --> 11:35:48.140
Right now, hell don't feel no doubt

11:35:48.140 --> 11:35:53.140
No we won't back down

11:35:53.140 --> 11:35:56.140
We gonna be champions

11:35:56.140 --> 11:36:00.140
Side by side, we'll be on top of the road

11:36:00.140 --> 11:36:04.140
Thinkin' from up under, down on the ground

11:36:04.140 --> 11:36:06.140
Down on the ground

11:36:36.140 --> 11:36:38.140
We're champions

11:36:38.140 --> 11:36:40.140
Shout it out

11:36:40.140 --> 11:36:42.140
Oh, oh, we are

11:36:42.140 --> 11:36:46.140
We are the ones that better remember

11:36:46.140 --> 11:36:48.140
Remember

11:36:48.140 --> 11:36:50.140
We are, we are, we are

11:36:50.140 --> 11:36:54.140
We're gonna rise together

11:36:54.140 --> 11:36:56.140
Together

11:36:56.140 --> 11:36:58.140
We are, we are, we are

11:36:58.140 --> 11:37:02.140
The ones that better remember

11:37:02.140 --> 11:37:04.140
Remember

11:37:04.140 --> 11:37:06.140
We are the real champions

11:37:06.140 --> 11:37:09.140
We hold our minds together

11:37:09.140 --> 11:37:11.140
Together

11:37:11.140 --> 11:37:13.140
Champions

11:37:13.140 --> 11:37:17.140
So much so we'll be on top of all

11:37:17.140 --> 11:37:21.140
We can go up and down the cuckoo

11:37:21.140 --> 11:37:23.140
Get out of the hell

11:37:23.140 --> 11:37:26.140
Oh, oh, oh, oh

11:37:26.140 --> 11:37:29.140
We can be champions

11:37:29.140 --> 11:37:33.140
Yes, you're nothing but a promise

11:37:33.140 --> 11:37:36.740
We are free to go anywhere that goes

11:37:36.740 --> 11:37:38.740
We're free to go

11:37:41.140 --> 11:37:44.740
We can be, we can be, we can be

11:37:44.740 --> 11:37:46.740
We can be champions

11:37:46.740 --> 11:37:48.740
We can be, we can be

11:37:48.740 --> 11:37:50.740
We can be champions

11:37:50.740 --> 11:37:52.740
We can be, we can be

11:37:52.740 --> 11:37:54.740
We can be champions

11:38:54.740 --> 11:39:02.740
I'll get my best hand, don't have a doubt about the outcome

11:39:02.740 --> 11:39:06.740
Shouts when you have some money

11:39:06.740 --> 11:39:10.740
And don't know how to put my mind to it

11:39:10.740 --> 11:39:16.740
I'll get my best hand, don't have a doubt about the outcome

11:39:16.740 --> 11:39:20.740
Shouts when you have some money

11:39:20.740 --> 11:39:26.240
And oh, I know how to put my mind to the test

11:39:27.740 --> 11:39:32.240
And I've got this feeling I'll make it last without a reason

11:39:32.740 --> 11:39:38.240
Show up every season, and maybe I'll win this time

11:39:38.240 --> 11:39:40.240
Come on, come on, get on your team, come on!

11:39:41.240 --> 11:39:45.240
We're all on the line, and nobody can look the way

11:39:45.740 --> 11:39:50.240
Don't even ask me why, I'm doing it for the love of the game

11:39:50.740 --> 11:39:52.740
Run and go for a ride

11:39:52.740 --> 11:39:54.740
Never got to play

11:39:54.740 --> 11:39:56.740
You know I'm not gonna stay

11:39:56.740 --> 11:39:58.740
I'm doing fine

11:39:58.740 --> 11:40:00.740
Another of the days

11:40:01.740 --> 11:40:04.740
We're good to keep them fixed on the place

11:40:06.740 --> 11:40:09.740
Who knows just when the sun's gonna rise

11:40:09.740 --> 11:40:11.740
Another horizon

11:40:11.740 --> 11:40:14.740
When an eternal ice up will shine

11:40:14.740 --> 11:40:16.740
A miracle will shine

11:40:16.740 --> 11:40:18.740
Oh, oh, oh

11:40:18.740 --> 11:40:24.740
You know I'm not giving my all

11:40:24.740 --> 11:40:28.740
Cause even when we trip, we don't fall

11:40:28.740 --> 11:40:31.740
We always search for the call

11:40:31.740 --> 11:40:34.740
And baby, no jerking, we don't win

11:40:34.740 --> 11:40:38.740
Baby, this time I'm gonna let this shoulder

11:40:38.740 --> 11:40:40.740
Put it all on the line

11:40:40.740 --> 11:40:43.740
You'll never give up the fight

11:40:43.740 --> 11:40:47.740
Don't you ask me what I'm doing for the love of this game

11:40:47.740 --> 11:40:50.860
Yeah, I'm not born to be

11:40:50.860 --> 11:40:53.380
Never born to be

11:40:53.380 --> 11:40:55.220
No, I can't obey

11:40:55.220 --> 11:40:58.300
I'm doing all the love I need

11:40:58.300 --> 11:41:01.860
I'm getting back on how far we've grown

11:41:01.860 --> 11:41:06.860
We've got a very close-and-good, close-and-good ocean

11:41:06.860 --> 11:41:11.500
Yeah, I'm not a dear Lord, I'm not a good Lord

11:41:11.500 --> 11:41:19.500
Tell me why you can't find me, find me, find me, find me, find me

11:41:19.500 --> 11:41:24.500
I'm putting all your life, I'm never gonna survive

11:41:24.500 --> 11:41:29.500
Don't even ask me why I do it for the love of the past

11:41:29.500 --> 11:41:34.500
Don't do it for me, never pull it out the way

11:41:34.500 --> 11:41:36.500
No, I'm not happy, baby

11:41:36.500 --> 11:41:38.500
I do it for the love of the game

11:43:06.500 --> 11:43:10.500
I want to be the very best

11:43:10.500 --> 11:43:13.500
No one ever was

11:43:13.500 --> 11:43:17.500
To catch them is my own test

11:43:17.500 --> 11:43:20.500
To train them is my goal

11:43:20.500 --> 11:43:23.500
I will travel across the land

11:43:23.500 --> 11:43:26.500
I'm the same as everyone

11:43:26.500 --> 11:43:30.500
It's broken on but you understand

11:43:30.500 --> 11:43:33.500
I will dance inside

11:43:33.500 --> 11:43:35.500
I can't stop, I can't stop

11:43:35.500 --> 11:43:37.500
I can't stop, I can't stop

11:43:37.500 --> 11:43:39.500
And now it's my destiny

11:43:39.500 --> 11:43:41.500
You can't stop

11:43:41.500 --> 11:43:43.500
Oh, you never stop

11:43:43.500 --> 11:43:45.500
In the world of the most beautiful

11:43:45.500 --> 11:43:47.500
You can't stop

11:43:47.500 --> 11:43:49.500
I can't stop

11:43:49.500 --> 11:43:51.500
I can't stop

11:43:51.500 --> 11:43:53.500
I can't stop

11:43:53.500 --> 11:43:55.500
You teach me and I teach you

11:43:55.500 --> 11:43:57.500
I can't stop

11:43:57.500 --> 11:43:59.500
I can't stop

11:43:59.500 --> 11:44:01.500
I can't stop

11:44:01.500 --> 11:44:03.500
Catch a ball!

11:44:04.500 --> 11:44:06.500
I'm gonna catch a ball!

11:44:06.500 --> 11:44:07.500
Catch a ball!

11:44:07.500 --> 11:44:09.500
I'm gonna catch a ball!

11:44:09.500 --> 11:44:11.500
I'm gonna challenge a long way

11:44:11.500 --> 11:44:13.500
Courage and I don't care

11:44:15.500 --> 11:44:18.500
I won't battle everyday

11:44:18.500 --> 11:44:20.500
To make my life away

11:44:22.500 --> 11:44:24.500
Cause at these times

11:44:25.500 --> 11:44:27.500
There's no way to try

11:44:27.500 --> 11:44:31.980
I know who will be my life

11:44:31.980 --> 11:44:34.620
It's always been my dream

11:44:34.620 --> 11:44:36.620
Who will be my life

11:44:36.620 --> 11:44:38.620
It's always been my dream

11:44:38.620 --> 11:44:41.620
Can you tell me what I love to be?

11:44:41.620 --> 11:44:43.620
Who will be my life

11:44:43.620 --> 11:44:45.120
Oh, you are a strange

11:44:45.120 --> 11:44:47.120
Who will be my life

11:44:47.120 --> 11:44:49.120
Who will be my life

11:44:49.120 --> 11:44:51.120
Who will be my life

11:44:51.120 --> 11:44:55.120
The courage will pass through

11:44:55.120 --> 11:44:58.280
In the teachment, I teach you

11:44:58.280 --> 11:45:02.240
Gonna catch up more

11:45:02.240 --> 11:45:05.240
Gotta catch up more

11:45:06.440 --> 11:45:10.440
Oh, gotta catch up more

11:45:15.440 --> 11:45:18.440
Gotta catch up more

11:45:21.920 --> 11:45:24.920
Gotta catch up more

11:45:25.120 --> 11:45:30.120
I'm not a good boy, I'm a bad boy

11:45:30.120 --> 11:45:35.120
I'm a good boy, I'm a bad boy

11:45:35.120 --> 11:45:40.120
I'm a good boy, I'm a bad boy

11:45:40.120 --> 11:45:44.120
I'm a good boy, I'm a bad boy

11:45:44.120 --> 11:45:48.120
What you like, I catch it on the floor

11:45:48.120 --> 11:45:51.120
The moment's my destiny

11:45:51.120 --> 11:45:53.120
I

11:46:21.120 --> 11:46:39.520
Now that's what I'm talking about!

11:46:39.520 --> 11:46:45.060
One more time for our dancers orchestra

11:46:46.560 --> 11:46:48.560
our choir

11:46:49.160 --> 11:46:51.160
Pokemon and

11:46:52.720 --> 11:46:54.720
Lauren already

11:46:59.400 --> 11:47:04.920
You are so wonderful, I'm all taken here anyway. You're welcome. So

11:47:09.520 --> 11:47:15.520
This is how a community comes together.

11:47:15.520 --> 11:47:20.520
And if anyone knows how to do it, it's the Pokemon community.

11:47:20.520 --> 11:47:29.520
As we continue with our celebration, it is important for us to take a moment to recognize what brought us all here.

11:47:29.520 --> 11:47:37.520
No matter where you journeyed from, at some point in our lives, we all fell in love with Pokemon.

11:47:37.520 --> 11:47:46.080
And that shared affection brought us here under one roof to celebrate, compete, and support

11:47:46.080 --> 11:47:49.420
one another in the way only trainers can.

11:47:49.420 --> 11:47:53.320
And that is something we should truly cherish.

11:47:53.320 --> 11:48:04.720
This community is truly remarkable.

11:48:04.720 --> 11:48:10.720
And I'd love it if you could join me in thanking all of the people that make it a bet like this possible.

11:48:10.720 --> 11:48:18.720
So please, give a wonderful thank you to our judges, developers, production-proof partners.

11:48:22.720 --> 11:48:31.720
And of course, the trainers that put everything they had on the biggest stage Pokémon has to offer.
