00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.479
My name is David Hernandez and you're listening to As The Pokeball Turns.
00:00:44.006 --> 00:00:53.726
Welcome to As the Pokeball Turns, where we interview people around the community on how their Pokemon Go journey started, where it has been and where it is currently going.
00:00:54.329 --> 00:00:57.359
The Pokemon franchise is filled with passionate fans.
00:00:57.664 --> 00:01:05.063
Could anybody imagine that an idea centered around bug collecting could evolve into the multi-billion dollar franchise we know today?
00:01:05.664 --> 00:01:15.897
With video games, card games, toys, and apps like Pokemon Smile and Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon is easily becoming integrated into every part of our daily lives.
00:01:16.197 --> 00:01:24.900
And then you have Pokemon Go, where its central idea is to go explore and live out our dream to become a Pokemon master, as if we were still 10 years old.
00:01:25.496 --> 00:01:34.635
Pokemon Go has of course, brought this opportunity to many people with stories about meeting new friends, seeing new places, and even starting content creation.
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:48.090
On April 14th, 2021, two friends Pokemon Go Journey led them to starting content creation through podcasting with the goal of simply making people sick of listening to them talk about Pokemon Go.
00:01:48.391 --> 00:01:53.971
Little did they know that people found them entertaining and the podcast would still be going strong to this day.
00:01:54.569 --> 00:01:59.969
One tradition the two have on the show is they start with an alcoholic beverage at the start of each episode.
00:02:00.274 --> 00:02:03.513
If you're feeling daring, take a shot every time someone says Pokemon.
00:02:05.534 --> 00:02:05.853
Actually, wait.
00:02:05.853 --> 00:02:06.603
Don't do that.
00:02:06.933 --> 00:02:07.983
You won't make it.
00:02:08.133 --> 00:02:08.644
Nevermind.
00:02:08.973 --> 00:02:11.104
We said Pokemon 28 times in this episode.
00:02:11.104 --> 00:02:11.674
Don't do that.
00:02:11.978 --> 00:02:21.157
But anyway, from Los Angeles, California, he is the co-host of The Wailordz Podcast, here's his origin story into the world of Pokemon Go.
00:02:21.457 --> 00:02:29.151
This is, itslikecrackyo! Today I'm joined by one half of The Wailordz Podcast, Richard.
00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:30.899
Richard, welcome to the show.
00:02:31.498 --> 00:02:32.128
Hello.
00:02:32.128 --> 00:02:33.269
Thanks for having me.
00:02:33.872 --> 00:02:34.412
For sure.
00:02:34.715 --> 00:02:41.284
And before we do begin, I know that whenever you have to record with your Co-host, that you usually have to hold back your Pokemon fandom.
00:02:41.581 --> 00:02:49.771
So I wanna let you know before we record, from one Pokemon maniac to another, you have my permission to get as nerdy as you want when it comes to Pokemon Go today.
00:02:49.771 --> 00:02:53.342
Awesome, how exciting is it's gonna be more trust.
00:02:53.461 --> 00:02:54.782
It's gonna be more than Pokemon Go.
00:02:54.812 --> 00:02:55.692
Well, we'll get there.
00:02:56.174 --> 00:02:56.473
Okay.
00:02:56.503 --> 00:02:57.413
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:57.419 --> 00:02:59.834
But I just wanted throw that out there so that way you don't have to hold back.
00:02:59.834 --> 00:03:02.623
I'll probably likely get most of the references you throw out today.
00:03:03.227 --> 00:03:03.960
Oh, that's awesome.
00:03:04.294 --> 00:03:05.735
You'll know every Pokemon I'm talking about.
00:03:06.036 --> 00:03:07.626
That's normally not a thing for me.
00:03:08.693 --> 00:03:12.862
Now, one thing I wanted to ask as well is like, so you're known as, itslikecrackyo.
00:03:13.183 --> 00:03:17.563
So how is how is Pokemon go, like crack for you?
00:03:18.161 --> 00:03:21.251
It's not even about Well, it is, but it's not, that's not even where the name comes from.
00:03:21.555 --> 00:03:27.480
That name came from an old tagline I used to say on Myspace and that pretty much just ages me.
00:03:27.777 --> 00:03:32.881
Ever since then, I used that as my handle for everything ever since, you look it up and going all the way back to there.
00:03:32.881 --> 00:03:49.014
I don't even know if they kind of still active anymore but that was my screen name and that's what I've used for just about everything up to this point until they realized how bad the name might be, so I don't know if I'm gonna change it anytime soon, but at the very least it does apply to Pokemon because I've been playing the game since the games came out.
00:03:49.314 --> 00:03:53.844
It is a very addictive franchise, although it's definitely not related to Pokemon.
00:03:54.140 --> 00:03:55.401
Just me being dumb.
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.750
So we gotta go in and move into the story like, how did you first start playing Pokemon Go?
00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:00.800
When did that first happen?
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.669
Immediately.
00:04:01.968 --> 00:04:14.016
I have the day one, July 6th, 2016, guide and I hadn't even known about the game cuz I remember Pokemon Go stemmed from an April Fools prank situation on Google Maps.
00:04:14.016 --> 00:04:15.296
I don't know if anybody remembers that.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:24.192
I think it was in 2014 or 2015 where Google Maps put Pokemon like all over their map and you have to go to different sites to see where they are.
00:04:24.490 --> 00:04:38.012
So then a couple of months later, there was an announcement, because I remember I was in this one situation where I had heard of the announcement and I posted it on Facebook saying, I'm gonna need one of those external battery packs cuz I know this game is gonna drain my battery.
00:04:38.317 --> 00:04:50.072
The game finally came out and I remember I was doing a volunteer intern situation at the time and I went straight to the bathroom and I downloaded it and I was just playing ever since then.
00:04:50.672 --> 00:04:56.192
So you were ahead of the curve cuz I didn't hear about the battery packs until way, way later, back when raids first came out.
00:04:56.795 --> 00:05:07.535
Basically like ultimately, I never got the battery pack, but I just knew I would need it just cuz of how much, that game would be on my phone and running something like that all the time is definitely not battery friendly as most of us know.
00:05:08.134 --> 00:05:12.214
Always plugged in, especially while driving, I mean, while walking, especially while walking.
00:05:14.805 --> 00:05:18.091
So when it came to Pokemon Go, where were people playing?
00:05:18.091 --> 00:05:20.041
were there a lot of people like we saw on the news and everything?
00:05:20.041 --> 00:05:21.302
Like where did you go to play?
00:05:21.898 --> 00:05:23.218
Yeah, I joined those crowds.
00:05:23.531 --> 00:05:27.305
So, I'm from Los Angeles and I went straight to Santa Monica.
00:05:27.601 --> 00:05:28.742
It was packed.
00:05:29.038 --> 00:05:43.620
Other than that, where I live in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles, it's still pretty lively out here, there's not the amount of Pokestops like you would get, like in a metropolitan city, but I have a lot to work with here and when Wayfarer came out, I made a lot more Pokestops from that, so I just play here.
00:05:43.916 --> 00:05:46.048
I play a lot here and there's a lot of spots to grind here.
00:05:46.346 --> 00:05:50.115
There's two big ones one in Valley in this place called Valley Village, it's called The Wall.
00:05:50.442 --> 00:05:57.372
It's next to Los Angeles Valley College and then there's also, the university that I went to for grad school, Cal State Northridge.
00:05:57.668 --> 00:06:07.918
I think that's the best place to play Pokemon Go and I'm sure you've been to a university campus over where you're at, but typically I think most university campuses have some really good grind spots from what I've seen.
00:06:08.517 --> 00:06:11.668
Now gimme some insight, like what is it your community like where you live?
00:06:11.668 --> 00:06:13.317
Like do y'all have a very active community?
00:06:13.622 --> 00:06:15.831
Do y'all do PVP, Raids, what is it like over there?
00:06:16.435 --> 00:06:18.415
I don't know anymore, to be honest.
00:06:18.723 --> 00:06:24.778
Covid really changed everything, I used to be part of this group on Slack, SFV Pogo.
00:06:25.081 --> 00:06:31.776
That was a pretty big community, there were like little factions that played together, there were raid trains that went throughout different parts of the valley.
00:06:32.074 --> 00:06:38.317
Sometimes I even ran my own raid trains because I did do a lot of the WAFU Raiding where you would jump in, I'm sure you're familiar with that.
00:06:38.317 --> 00:06:39.411
I miss WAFU raiding.
00:06:39.471 --> 00:06:39.740
Yep.
00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:40.310
That was a good time.
00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:40.521
Yeah.
00:06:41.870 --> 00:06:51.362
For real, it was wild like if it wasn't a shiny or if it wasn't a hundo, you'd just bounce, it wasn't worth trying to catch and, I was generally pretty active on my side.
00:06:51.362 --> 00:06:52.322
Let me interrupt you real quick.
00:06:52.322 --> 00:06:55.521
So for those who are listening and y'all don't know like what the hell's Wa-Fu?
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.870
So it's not the girlfriend that you're thinking of, Wa-Fu Raiding is usually....
00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:03.279
Wa-Fu Raiding is usually when you basically go from raid to raid.
00:07:03.583 --> 00:07:09.523
You'll usually jump in, wait till the timer starts, or wait till the battle starts, and then you drive off into the next raid.
00:07:09.819 --> 00:07:19.014
And usually by the time you get to the next raid, you're already on the process of trying to catch it or you try to run for it and you rinse and repeat until you get millions and millions of xp and hopefully a Hundo or a Shundo.
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.935
Is that kind of correct?
00:07:19.935 --> 00:07:21.074
Yeah, that's pretty much correct.
00:07:21.372 --> 00:07:34.211
Yeah, it was the best when there was a double XP event going on or a Stardust event going on because you just get, completely busted with all these benefits from the raids, so that was, how our community used to roll around.
00:07:34.512 --> 00:07:45.617
When PVP was also a thing, but I never participated in back then, because back then I didn't like it and, well, I still don't like it, but back then I just never participate in those particular subgroups or sub factions.
00:07:46.216 --> 00:07:48.076
So you talk about how you don't like P V P.
00:07:48.076 --> 00:07:49.833
So how do you play Pokemon Go?
00:07:49.833 --> 00:07:51.213
What's do you collect?
00:07:51.213 --> 00:07:53.432
Do you try to go out and grind?
00:07:54.029 --> 00:07:54.593
Don't get me wrong.
00:07:54.593 --> 00:08:04.074
I said I don't like pvp, but I still play it like a mad man every day but, it's just cause I'm not good at it, that's why I don't like it, but I still like it, but it's just like, it's one of it's a love hate relationship that's about to say.
00:08:04.074 --> 00:08:04.134
Yeah.
00:08:08.033 --> 00:08:13.298
So otherwise, I'm pretty, I would say I'm pretty versatile in how I play the game cuz I'll do the pvp.
00:08:13.298 --> 00:08:15.759
I'm never good, good at it, so you're never gonna see me at a tournament.
00:08:16.057 --> 00:08:25.930
I play the game when I'm walking my dog and I typically walk an hour a day, so I do my daily incense and then when there's a big event, like Community Day, I'm out for those three hours.
00:08:26.536 --> 00:08:30.838
How familiar are you with Pokemon, like where did it all first begin, even before pokemon Go?
00:08:31.437 --> 00:08:32.457
When did it all begin?
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.748
1997 or 98.
00:08:34.748 --> 00:08:36.307
Oh yeah, I
00:08:36.327 --> 00:08:37.628
Day One-er from day one!
00:08:37.628 --> 00:08:41.658
I don't wanna say day one or I'm, I would say Gen One-er, I didn't play the game right away.
00:08:41.955 --> 00:08:43.424
I didn't have a game boy at the time.
00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:44.715
I was still, a little poor.
00:08:44.934 --> 00:08:52.489
and then eventually I did get one and then I got Pokemon and ever since then I was into it and I've been on it ever since.
00:08:52.785 --> 00:08:53.745
Well, no, that's not true.
00:08:54.048 --> 00:09:00.888
I took a break when Gen three came out because I was not impressed with Gen three and then Diamond and Pearl came out and I got sucked way back in.
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:18.039
Diamond and Pearl definitely just brought me back into this in full force, got hundreds of hours of my playtime, especially what made Gen four a lot more epic was when it was the same generation that saw the remakes of Gold and Silver, which were also very good games or some of the best games.
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:18.460
Yep.
00:09:18.490 --> 00:09:19.120
Yes.
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.200
They've aged so well.
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:31.744
Like I wish I could play them or restart them, but I don't wanna mess with my game files but for the most part, like all of those games combined, I don't even know, I wouldn't be surprised if it's like over a thousand hours I've played on all of'em.
00:09:32.043 --> 00:09:34.774
That's easily my favorite generation.
00:09:34.774 --> 00:09:36.033
just cuz it has like everything.
00:09:36.629 --> 00:09:43.620
No, that's fair, like it's hard to beat HeartGold and SoulSilver and for me, I loved from HeartGold and Soul Silver all the way to Black and White 2.
00:09:43.917 --> 00:09:50.929
I loved that timeline of Pokemon history to where I enjoyed all those games, between that, I think that'd be a six year, time lapse.
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:51.169
Yeah.
00:09:51.169 --> 00:09:55.370
Of just being able to play those six different games like I love that whole entire time span.
00:09:55.966 --> 00:10:01.876
See that's, that's interesting because I actually did not care for black and white.
00:10:01.876 --> 00:10:03.557
I didn't care for Gen five at all.
00:10:03.854 --> 00:10:05.624
I would say I like it less than gen three.
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.945
I still played it just cuz at this point I'm gonna be a completionist.
00:10:09.250 --> 00:10:11.796
I remember times when I would be playing and I'd just be falling asleep.
00:10:12.096 --> 00:10:23.881
I don't remember the story like, for me personally, it felt like black and white was just, I always thought it was rushed but I always just felt like it was a rush game to capitalize off the success of Gen four, cuz the games look still extremely similar.
00:10:24.485 --> 00:10:29.322
Yeah, they do cuz I think at that point, you could tell the game graphics were at their peak, not peak, but
00:10:29.371 --> 00:10:29.731
mm-hmm
00:10:29.731 --> 00:10:36.241
they were at the limit for that system because I think after that, that's when we moved to 3D s and that's when we got X and Y I believe.
00:10:36.538 --> 00:10:45.869
If those games had maybe come on 3DS they probably would've been more well received, but because they came on the DS, it just seemed like it was past the prime of the system they were on and what was available at the time.
00:10:46.472 --> 00:10:57.384
I think it would've definitely benefited from being like a launch game for the 3DS rather than squeezing out another generation onto the DS, but Game Freak makes their decisions, we can only just abide.
00:10:57.384 --> 00:10:59.813
I was gonna say, we just pitch out our money and still buy it anyway.
00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:05.607
Pretty much! Like look at the marketing for Scarlet and Violet, it was pretty terrible.
00:11:05.904 --> 00:11:09.794
They didn't really give much information, but we still went out and bought it
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.139
Do you have a favorite Pokemon at all?
00:11:12.741 --> 00:11:14.511
That is a question.
00:11:14.542 --> 00:11:23.701
I, that is a funny question cuz my partner asked me the same question I would say it's a hard toss up between Charmander and Eevee.
00:11:23.999 --> 00:11:24.629
I'll choose both.
00:11:24.629 --> 00:11:40.270
I actually grew up on team Charmander for the longest time and I think only a couple of years ago, I started getting more into Eevee just because I think there's something beautiful to be said about the fact that it has the potential to be pretty much anything and it can adapt to whatever environment and just become something else.
00:11:40.571 --> 00:11:47.956
To me, Eevee is just like a metaphor and so I think I got really more into Eevee over the last couple years, especially after Let's Go Eevee came out.
00:11:48.556 --> 00:11:51.341
Eventually, playing Pokemon Go and you got into pvp, right?
00:11:51.941 --> 00:11:52.451
Yeah.
00:11:52.451 --> 00:11:55.750
I got into PVP a couple months into the pandemic.
00:11:56.056 --> 00:11:58.096
I still barely understand move counts.
00:11:58.398 --> 00:12:05.552
I barely understand any of the terminology like, break points and then you have to count moves and really know like move counting and what else?
00:12:05.854 --> 00:12:08.206
I rarely ever hit expert, I always hit veteran.
00:12:08.504 --> 00:12:19.990
I don't really know how to make teams, I end up watching a video on YouTube and try to rip off whatever YouTuber is doing and then I end up not doing good with them because they're just a lot more talented than I am.
00:12:20.288 --> 00:12:27.337
So, that's me in a nutshell In terms of PVP, just like admittedly I thought I would've gotten better a couple months after I started, but I still haven't.
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.384
But at the same time, it can be fun.
00:12:29.686 --> 00:12:38.384
That's pretty much how, it led to me doing my own, not my own, but our own podcast because that's all me and my friend do just talk whenever we get together, talk about Pokemon.
00:12:38.988 --> 00:12:41.238
Do you have a particular league you like to battle in?
00:12:41.835 --> 00:12:47.456
Ultra league and open Master League now just cuz if there's any league I know how to move counts in, it's gonna be Master League.
00:12:47.756 --> 00:13:01.167
The meta is a lot smaller, you know, it's just gonna be Zacian, Giratina, Mewtwo, Dialga, well, Dialga is hard to count cuz of Dragonbreath, but you see the same things over and over and over, so I just familiarize myself with those move counts.
00:13:01.462 --> 00:13:17.600
Whereas, you know, you go lower and lower into the smaller leagues and there's the meta is a lot bigger and then I don't really have the time to memorize, not the time or patience to memorize like all these different Pokemon and their move counts and sometimes I can't even figure it out cuz like, let's take Azumarill, for example.
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:25.787
I know it takes six bubbles to, get to some attack, but like the bubbles are like, you know, they're bubbly so you can't, I don't really know when they start or stop.
00:13:26.386 --> 00:13:32.447
So one thing you mentioned was that when you turned level 40, the game was not as fun for you or you slowed down.
00:13:32.745 --> 00:13:36.466
What about it when you reached level 40 kind of made you stop playing as much?
00:13:37.071 --> 00:13:39.230
I hit level 40, like, what else is there to do?
00:13:39.534 --> 00:13:41.754
That was before levels 41 through 50 came out.
00:13:42.054 --> 00:13:46.945
I didn't think that the XP was gonna roll over, so I didn't need to grind anymore.
00:13:47.249 --> 00:13:59.815
I had heard stuff about new levels coming out, but I didn't know how that was gonna work and I'm like,"I'm not gonna grind, what's the point?" And I probably should have, cause I could have given myself a big step, but I just didn't see the need in grinding out much anymore, I still played a lot, don't get me wrong.
00:14:00.119 --> 00:14:06.078
I don't wanna say I stopped completely like if there was a shiny that I loved that in the legendary raids, of course I was gonna be all over it.
00:14:06.383 --> 00:14:18.485
I just had no motivation to really go out and grind hard anymore, which was great because I was saving myself like two hours again cuz I would, as soon as I got outta work, I would go start Raiding or planning out Raiding and I was just like looking forward to having that time back.
00:14:18.485 --> 00:14:20.586
And then Niantic was like, here's level 50.
00:14:20.895 --> 00:14:25.846
Yeah, but I didn't go back to, I didn't go back to the grinding and that one happened in the middle of the pandemic too, right?
00:14:25.846 --> 00:14:26.416
I think?
00:14:27.020 --> 00:14:27.951
No, it happened before
00:14:27.951 --> 00:14:29.571
It was November, 2019 when that happened.
00:14:29.571 --> 00:14:29.979
Mm-hmm.
00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:31.629
It happened right before PVP happened.
00:14:31.678 --> 00:14:38.701
True! With the new levels, I didn't want to say I went out and grinded it as much cuz at that time I worked in non-profits, so I couldn't waste a lot of money.
00:14:39.004 --> 00:14:43.782
I just decided to to keep it casual, keep it cute, and
00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:45.308
Haven't looked back since?
00:14:45.308 --> 00:14:52.178
Unless legendary that I really want a shundo of comes out, that's when I go ham and I hop into every single raid lobby people invite me to.
00:14:52.782 --> 00:14:56.542
So I know you and your co-host go every community day, Shundo Hunting, is that right?
00:14:56.542 --> 00:14:57.111
Yes.
00:14:57.475 --> 00:14:58.735
Almost every community day.
00:14:59.038 --> 00:15:02.985
Roldy loves the aspect of community more than he does Shundo hunting.
00:15:03.282 --> 00:15:12.028
Sometimes also because, he likes to live in Stardust poverty, he likes to be like on the ground and catching as much as possible instead of jumping from Spawn point to Spawn point in a car.
00:15:12.331 --> 00:15:20.676
So, it's pretty much me and my partner, cuz my partner also plays Pokemon Go and we're the ones who just go out and about to almost every Hundo that comes out, depending on if it's something we want or not.
00:15:21.278 --> 00:15:24.278
Well, I was gonna ask like, how many Shundos do you have if you're willing to share?
00:15:24.875 --> 00:15:26.096
They're Shundo asterisk.
00:15:26.096 --> 00:15:31.306
I know they're not like, I don't spoof, but there's maps or discords that I follow.
00:15:31.306 --> 00:15:31.456
Yeah.
00:15:31.625 --> 00:15:36.206
So, yeah, they're not like legit Shundos, but they're my Shundos.
00:15:36.230 --> 00:15:37.066
So, let's see.
00:15:37.066 --> 00:15:40.051
they're basically, they're basically Shundos you got from using a map, right?
00:15:40.140 --> 00:15:41.331
Yeah, precisely.
00:15:41.932 --> 00:15:42.732
Eleven?
00:15:43.037 --> 00:15:43.784
Am I counting right?
00:15:43.815 --> 00:15:44.355
11?
00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:52.325
I got two Machamps, two Garchomps, a Golem, Roserade, Talonflame, Sylveon, Umbreon,
00:15:52.345 --> 00:15:53.595
ooh, Sylveon!
00:15:53.595 --> 00:15:54.134
Right?
00:15:54.365 --> 00:15:58.024
Chandelure and most recently Dragonite.
00:15:58.024 --> 00:15:58.534
Nice.
00:15:58.835 --> 00:16:01.004
I'm very jealous of that shundo Sylveon.
00:16:01.004 --> 00:16:04.595
Sylveon probably one of my favorite shinies with the cotton blue and pink, I believe, right?
00:16:04.892 --> 00:16:09.572
It's mostly cotton blue, there, there's a little pink, here and there, but it's definitely more cotton blue than anything.
00:16:10.171 --> 00:16:11.041
Very cool, man.
00:16:11.336 --> 00:16:12.927
so, I'm gonna play a little game with you.
00:16:13.226 --> 00:16:17.876
There's one thing me and your co-host have in common, and it's that we're mainly stay Stardust broke.
00:16:17.876 --> 00:16:18.283
Mm-hmm.
00:16:18.283 --> 00:16:21.643
I want you to guess what you think my stardust count is at this very moment.
00:16:22.250 --> 00:16:23.120
Stardust count.
00:16:23.125 --> 00:16:24.980
You guys like to live in Stardust poverty.
00:16:25.009 --> 00:16:29.090
I'm gonna place you at, let's say 60,000.
00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:29.720
60 K.
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:30.049
Oh.
00:16:30.049 --> 00:16:31.129
You may wanna go a little lower
00:16:31.129 --> 00:16:31.822
6k.
00:16:31.822 --> 00:16:32.582
Little lower.
00:16:32.582 --> 00:16:33.123
None.
00:16:33.123 --> 00:16:33.932
No, I'm not that broke.
00:16:33.937 --> 00:16:34.293
Thankfully.
00:16:36.153 --> 00:16:38.043
It's 963.
00:16:38.043 --> 00:16:39.572
What is the reason?
00:16:39.572 --> 00:16:40.143
Why?
00:16:40.143 --> 00:16:40.352
Why?
00:16:40.352 --> 00:16:42.182
Why do you people live like this?
00:16:42.182 --> 00:16:43.450
It's wild.
00:16:44.049 --> 00:16:48.519
So for me, I don't do PVP as much as you guys do you even do more PVP than I do.
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:48.807
Mm-hmm.
00:16:48.812 --> 00:16:53.397
Um, for me, I like to power up my Hundos, so my goal is always to power'em up to level 50.
00:16:53.697 --> 00:17:00.408
I've been doing that since gen two and that's been my lifelong goal and reason for why I never have Stardust.
00:17:01.011 --> 00:17:02.001
Makes sense.
00:17:02.298 --> 00:17:22.067
Wow, ugh, no, I, I mean maybe I'll probably end up being there just because, you know, the way things are going now with Niantic and how XL Candy is quote unquote more accessible and, you know, classic cups are never coming back, but like, I'm always like, I don't wanna power up something to level 50 if it's not a Shundo cuz it's gonna take forever to get those XL candies back.
00:17:22.067 --> 00:17:23.265
No, I mean, that's what I did.
00:17:23.565 --> 00:17:26.541
I have not powered anything that's not a Hondo except for PVP.
00:17:26.845 --> 00:17:28.434
That's basically how I play.
00:17:28.434 --> 00:17:33.073
I don't have a team of Tyranitar, I don't have a team of Mewtwo, I don't have a team of anything.
00:17:33.671 --> 00:17:37.198
I'll probably wait till I get the Shundos cause I'm just like, uh, I don't want to power.
00:17:37.198 --> 00:17:41.469
I already had to power up a Metagross and an Excadrill to Level 50.
00:17:41.469 --> 00:17:48.469
I didn't want to do it because, I'm still holding out for the one day that I'll get a Shundo Metagross and then Drilbur gonna come out and shiny eventually.
00:17:48.772 --> 00:17:54.502
I would love the shiny of just everything and those XL candies are just gonna be a pain in the ass to come across again.
00:17:55.103 --> 00:17:58.222
Well, thankfully, that are more accessible, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
00:17:58.222 --> 00:17:58.762
That's funny.
00:17:58.768 --> 00:17:59.452
Tell another one
00:17:59.452 --> 00:18:08.278
If you know, you know, So you've actually, hinted at your co-host name Roldy and I wanted to ask like, how did you two guys meet?
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.479
00:00:44.006 --> 00:00:53.726
00:00:54.329 --> 00:00:57.359
00:00:57.664 --> 00:01:05.063
00:01:05.664 --> 00:01:15.897
00:01:16.197 --> 00:01:24.900
00:01:25.496 --> 00:01:34.635
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:48.090
00:01:48.391 --> 00:01:53.971
00:01:54.569 --> 00:01:59.969
00:02:00.274 --> 00:02:03.513
00:02:05.534 --> 00:02:05.853
00:02:05.853 --> 00:02:06.603
00:02:06.933 --> 00:02:07.983
00:02:08.133 --> 00:02:08.644
00:02:08.973 --> 00:02:11.104
00:02:11.104 --> 00:02:11.674
00:02:11.978 --> 00:02:21.157
00:02:21.457 --> 00:02:29.151
00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:30.899
00:02:31.498 --> 00:02:32.128
00:02:32.128 --> 00:02:33.269
00:02:33.872 --> 00:02:34.412
00:02:34.715 --> 00:02:41.284
00:02:41.581 --> 00:02:49.771
00:02:49.771 --> 00:02:53.342
00:02:53.461 --> 00:02:54.782
00:02:54.812 --> 00:02:55.692
00:02:56.174 --> 00:02:56.473
00:02:56.503 --> 00:02:57.413
00:02:57.419 --> 00:02:59.834
00:02:59.834 --> 00:03:02.623
00:03:03.227 --> 00:03:03.960
00:03:04.294 --> 00:03:05.735
00:03:06.036 --> 00:03:07.626
00:03:08.693 --> 00:03:12.862
00:03:13.183 --> 00:03:17.563
00:03:18.161 --> 00:03:21.251
00:03:21.555 --> 00:03:27.480
00:03:27.777 --> 00:03:32.881
00:03:32.881 --> 00:03:49.014
00:03:49.314 --> 00:03:53.844
00:03:54.140 --> 00:03:55.401
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.750
00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:00.800
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.669
00:04:01.968 --> 00:04:14.016
00:04:14.016 --> 00:04:15.296
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:24.192
00:04:24.490 --> 00:04:38.012
00:04:38.317 --> 00:04:50.072
00:04:50.672 --> 00:04:56.192
00:04:56.795 --> 00:05:07.535
00:05:08.134 --> 00:05:12.214
00:05:14.805 --> 00:05:18.091
00:05:18.091 --> 00:05:20.041
00:05:20.041 --> 00:05:21.302
00:05:21.898 --> 00:05:23.218
00:05:23.531 --> 00:05:27.305
00:05:27.601 --> 00:05:28.742
00:05:29.038 --> 00:05:43.620
00:05:43.916 --> 00:05:46.048
