Decaf and DNA Faced - C2E2 2012 Live Panel from PKMNcast on Vimeo.
(Video Version of Episode 074) Decaf and DNA Faced is the live show from the 2012 C2E2. David and SBJ had over 80 people to present to. This is the audio only version. Video version coming soon. We talk about Japanese Folklore and answer audience questions. BIG THANKS to everyone who came out!!
The Introduction
What's up everyoneeeeeee! How was that for an impression of SBJ? What, you tell me you can't really tell because this is only text and reading something can't accurately convey the way someone speaks and therefore could be interpreted differently by every single individual reading this? Well I suppose you're right, but hey that's not why we're here today. No, we are here today to talk about an awesome fundraiser for PKMNcast; a fundraiser in the form of the infamous "Let's Play" titled "NuzleafGreen".
Now, before I go any farther, I'll tell you what this is about. The PKMNcast community, more specifically our man Steve Black Jr. himself, has been going strong for almost two whole years now. "It's Super Effective!" may have started at rather humble beginnings, but has now grown into a strong, independent Podcast from which a wonderful and diverse community has emerged. Steve has gone out of his way to build up a friendly-yet-professional (actually I might not fit that last part too well) staff who all share a love of Pokémon and who are all dedicated to informing and helping others in any way they can.
Another week, another chapter! As we close in on the end of Shattered Gemstones' first season, on the eve of the illustrious and mysterious May 1st, we find Damian in a standoff with Lucas. In a hunt for answers, all that can be found is more mystery. All is certainly not what it seems. Enjoy!Prerlease week 1 is over and unfortunately I was occupied with other card games. If you played I would love to hear how your games went in the comments below! However you did or if you’ll be playing this weekend, I’ve got some bomb picks for the cards that will take you to the top of your prerelease next weekend.
In general when drafting a prerelease deck you’re trying to pick the cards that give you the most bang for your play. Pokemon with attacks that have multiple effects besides damage like status conditions or discard effects will be winners. A prerelease deck isn’t just a race for damage. That being said, EX’s will always have a huge play advantage. Just because you didn’t pull an EX, doesn’t mean the tournament is over. Lets look at Carnivine.
Something amazing happened this past Thursday. Something that has never, ever, ever, happened before. I beat my friend Gabe in a Pokémon battle! It was a real battle, too - he wasn't going easy on me. We had gone a few rounds already, I was on my second beer, and I had figured there was no way that I was going to beat his Hydreigon, Zapdos, Archeops, and Starmie team. What I didn't realize was he had decided to swap out his Starmie for a Cloyster. What a mistake! I had finally gotten my Whiscash to stomp Archeops, my Hydreigon somehow beat his Zapdos, and he was just left with just Hydreigon and Cloyster. Well, if you don't know - I love my Volcarona. While not my favorite Pokémon of all time, I love using it in battle. Friends, just a little Bug Buzz from my Volcarona, David Hugs, and Hydreigon was down. Cloyster came out and before he could set up with Shell Smash - Bug Buzz, Bug Buzz - Boom, Cloyster was down and Will was the winner!
All of this to remind you guys that Bug-types are 1,000 times more awesome than Dark-types and that the Pokémon this week is . . . Genesect!
SATURDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY!
What day is it everyone?
SATURDAY!
Meaning time for another Saturday Sketch!
This week as some of you may have seen already, there has been a large gallery that has appeared on the interwebs.
This gallery consists of the First Generation’s 151 Pokémon.
The gallery is titled “The Pokémon Battle Royale” and can be found on Tumblr!
So a little information about this gallery...
The description on Tumblr:
“151 artists have each selected and created original works of art inspired by each of the original 151 Pokémon. From Bulbasaur to Mew, each Pokémon is represented and injected with the artists’ own aesthetic, style, and creativity, exploring just what made those little Pokémon so interesting and fun to catch.
The Pokémon Battle Royale was a curated art show curated by Alyssa Nassner (@smalltalk) and Bryan Ische (@ishyyyyy) in the spring of 2012.”
So now that you know about this gallery let’s take a look at some of the works contained in this gallery of amazingness.
So you like Pokémon and the Simpsons huh?
Well you may perhaps like this crossover.
Homer J. “Dratini” Simpson.
In all honesty this kind of seems right...
“#147 Dratini by Adam J. Kurtz”
Oh that Crazy Hypno, what will he do next?
Actually… let’s not get into what he’s possibly going to do next...
“#97 Hypno by Jordan Jeffries ”
MOVING ON!
After seeing this one… I don’t think I will ever see Clefairy the same again.
As a matter of fact she looks very happy to see you!
“#35 Clefairy by Mikey McCollor”
Pidgey ain’t picking on Weedle for much longer! Forget evolution! This Weedle is not messing around, it will Body Slam you! Perhaps actually one day it will break the fourth wall and become the most powerful bug in its class!
“#13 Weedle by Tyson Hesse”
Well that’s it for this week’s Saturday Sketch (‘s)!
Hope you enjoyed taking a tiny look at this gallery!
This is truly some outstanding work and you should check out the full thing!
You can even purchase some of the work as prints!
Check it out at the Tumblr!
Thanks for viewing this week’s Saturday Sketch, Cya all next week!
Are you sick and tired of Rotom-W and Terrakion? Does Scizor make you yawn? Do you want something a little different in competitive play? Then why are you wasting your time with OU? There are many other metagames to explore, maybe even some you haven't heard of. Here are three interesting, lesser known metagames.
Let’s touch briefly on a topic that can seem foreign to many of us that frequent this site and are fans of the noble work of the Pokémon Podcast: love and romance. WAIT WAIT WAIT, KEEP READING. KENNY, STOP SCROLLING. KAY, YOU TOO. GET. NO. GUYS. COME BACK HERE. Ugh. The rest of you still here? Good. Let’s face it, gentlemen, we’re some-teens and twenty-somethings who wax sentimental and intellectual about a video game and trading card game franchise that’s aimed primarily at tweens and children. I’m no Dr. Love, but I imagine that most of the fairer sex doesn’t find this an overtly attractive trait, but that’s also why we find ourselves so enamored with the few of you ladies out there that join in with as much (or more) fervor as we do in our monster-wrangling pastime. That is, when we’re paying attention. Fellas, if you’re like me, you’re horrible at reading signals from the ladies. Comes with the nerd territory, you know? But hey, they say to make your weaknesses into strengths, right? And we can, at least, with our pokémon. This is Ability of the Week: Oblivious!
