I had the rug out of podcasting Charles McFall and the man over there with red and blue going on because somehow that's not Northern aggression is Star Wars related, Joe areI didn't realize it had anything to do with what I have. No idea is actually learn the Grant I don't know but hey, man, so, I'm sure that's a far worse. What are you talking about? There's Valor and there's missing us now that I would get you bitches Star Wars light. I know I'm probably missing something that's obvious. But I don't know why the red and blues there would you said something about started flu or iconic Star Wars colors? Lightsabers, well, you know, there's green and purple and Skittles and Snickers flavored ones and all that. I don't know Joseph Joseph. What is your experience of the week? So this wasn't on the podcast but it was at the very end of the stream and only the stream was able to see it, but I got a new shiny last week from my house. So I got the green bull not to because he's as Red Bull the green Bowl Tauros, which he's dead right now. I should probably revive him. But anyway, that's I know it's me, but took this thing is like that's kind of random. Yeah, so I got him and I did a bunch of Rocket, I could keep one of the column raids but a rocket grunt battles. Unfortunately, I didn't get to play on the community day as much as I would have liked we had our seven-month-old had surgery last week and our other one of our other brothers dry. Guess not that go it went good no complications, and he seems to be mostly back to his normal self. So Yep. Yep. Oh, but I did catch another heat more here at my house this past week. So that was cool. And I hate that all my experiences are oh this was at my house. This is my house. I did get out and play sure. You're like yeah, uh-huh. But yeah, it's been it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. That's cool. I played actually active ho look at this picture from Terry wolf with Rayquaza as his pal. I mean that that's that so that's actually was about to talk about so this morning and then we got a headline. I'm sure but this morning they launched New buddy system so for a good ten minutes, I played with it because I knew we're going to talk about on the show. I want to see what it's like and I see my mind went opposite first. Terry went to the second place. My mind went wishes. Ooh, what is he Joe Ian? So what do they look like in the game My First guess what my first thought for the buddy system was Joe. What? What is Magic Carpet look like it followed you around and I haven't had time. Yeah, I know right? Well as doing the magic Art walking trying to get all the candies and we did the updates every week. I can't remember. It's a spoonful shikharp watch something like that. Magic what Maji watch or something? Yeah carp watch 2018 or whatever was okay. I'd know Marcus red go away. I hate that. But yeah played with that. It is interesting. I do like how it looks on the map other that I don't care but I see why people would I absolutely oh no, this is a where is our freaking experiences of the week in our Discord. Am I missing something here? I don't know. There it is. I am missing it just kept scrolling passing like can't find it. So yeah, it's a it is an interesting thing that they have there. Beyond that I don't think I did I did the weekend as much as I could zero shinies 0 now. I did not get to go out and spend like an hour. Just playing on the you know, how you do right for Community Day just walk around and do it. But during those times both days. I was out and about I was actively you know throwing pokeballs. I'm at stops where somebody's already lured him up. So I was actually playing Zero Pokémon shinies man. Yeah, so annoying, but did you fight for your freedom? Were you more or less tied up with the kids for the community day or did you I was but I did go through and evolve about a dozen Pokemon so I could get their Community they mousse. So yeah, I just got a heart popped up from my buddy wall together. It's got one heart play together. Give your body a treat take a snapshot. Sorry buddy battle together is nothing to happen. Very often Snapchat. That's okay. Oh, I mean snapshot. Yes. Yeah. Sure. That's what you meant. He wants berries. He's not even out on the he's not even out on the map because he's hungry now his little red rings as all gone down and I'm gonna do it right now in the while we're doing the show, but it's an interesting thing and then we're going to talk more about it. And that's basically my biggest experience this week was hey that launched this morning. Hey, that's pretty cool and launched for you this morning when I gave it to level 40 s first. Okay. Well like everything else. They just show. What did you get last night? Right. I don't know. I actually didn't even bother. Yeah, because the news really just started you news literally dropped yesterday in the game. So I know it wasn't long after, you know wouldn't too far you getting a been like last week or anything. So I'm trying to find where we left off. Oh, that's all we back in November. We don't want to go that far back for the experiences. Yeah. We're going to write the 2 to 12 12. There hasn't actually been any from this past week if you look at it, right if you like it. Yeah, if you look at the experiences a week. Oh, no, that's Thursday artists. Never mind. Oh one one from Terry Popeye. You see the one from Popeye. Papa I've got a got a great Dragon first raid. Yeah. Yeah, that's just going to call it Verizon from now on aren't we? Yeah, why not? Okay Fabian hatched Beldum and then baselining but after the event ended so he evolved it up. Yeah, but if you in our main chat though you got Lot of cool pics from Terry wolf or he's playing with a different program and they really all I was not perfect. They really do great with the size differences Moltres. He's made a small trash. He's flying away High over your character your fine. Hi, Joe get you some caffeine. So Joe tells me Joe tells me before the show starts. Okay. I just let you know. I'm not Kathy crazy. I'm sleep-deprived crazy. Because you know, I got like four hours of sleep last night it like that. That's that's when you drink the caffeine Joan. It it balances man. That's how that works. Yeah. Yeah, the baby sleep had although he's acting normal his sleep habits or not normal yet. So yeah. Alright. So the first one you have down here is locario. Versus Machamp. Yes, but do you even remember who Lucario is not the slightest? Actually? No. Yeah. I remember I'm not into that. I know he's a new finding type whatever that's going to take over the game. We talked about. I know last week. Yep. Yes, and he's from he's on the newer Smash Brothers games. I don't care about that. Yeah. Well if I contract I have to say I don't pay attention to anything but I remember last week. Yeah, so Lucario the short answer is RC is the best fighting type in the game. However, however, but wait R is Murr. Murr what about frankincense or gold and see you got there you got there. Yeah, where are with their stupid joke, but it work. So real low can do candy being relatively rare unless you're you know, Terry wolf. You're probably not going to get a six man team of Lucario's conquerors not even out yet and we don't so we don't know how rare he will end up being so those two will beat Machamp as far as As just stats go but you also have to look at the investment cost and that's what this post is about. And that's why I like it. And so they're comparing a level third. Well a level 30 Lucario and a level 40 Lucario level 30 is there because it's the hypothetical situation where you just don't have the candy to power it up all the way whereas Machamp he's been around since the get-go, right which up, and so and he's been in a ton of different boosted events. So most people have Plenty of matchups. I mean I've I've trashed you when Champs but I still have I don't know 11 12. Nope, 3013. I have 13 more Champs and I'm sitting on just in case people want to trade and well no one wants to trade so I should probably just trash some of these but we're give them to you. I've got him a chance. I got I got three Machamp and I've got two or three machop's or whatever. Yeah, okay. So yeah, I should give like three of them to you got it. And so the comparison here is is a level 30 Lucario versus a level 40 Machamp. And of course the level 40 Machamp wins, but actually not by a huge margin and so they have further breakdowns of further breakdowns, but basically Lucario needs to be roughly level 35 34 35 before he breaks even or surpasses a level 40 Machamp and so getting the Stardust and the candy required to power him up that far is going to be a stretch in and of itself and so while yes, Lucario is better How much better is is a something to debate really and they actually broke it down in space of time. So the first comparison they had here is actually a hypothetical battle against a Blissey and Machamp is 4.3 seconds slower. Is that right? Yeah, no 4.8 seconds slower. Then a level 40 champ is 4.8 seconds slower than a level 40 Lucario in taking down a Blissey. In a gym in a sec. You see where that might play into the we said in simulated gym, but in the PVP battle, well, I guess there's a clock on the gym. Well, well, yeah, so yeah, there's a little bit of a clock on these but four seconds is that out of what is it 90 that the whole match runs. Something like that. But yeah, as far as sure it could be battling. I guess it could make a difference for raids. And so I mean it definitely could make a difference the question is. Do you want to spend all of that candy and Stardust and for a lot of people it would be rare candy. So many think you're asking me personally because you should already know the answer to that. So well, it's personal preference. I probably it is. Yeah. I probably won't go crazy on it, but I wouldn't mind, you know having at least one Lucario that's fully powered up. So I just I would like to have just one in the car yo period I'm good with that. So even have a real Lulu. I don't think so. Fuck you. Search real ooh, hey spell that. Sorry, you're all right. All right. Yeah, they know I don't all right. Oh, yeah, you can look at my screen and look at how awesome use. Yeah. I'm not gonna do that. Okay, you do you I um now if you do get a Luke real Lou and you want to power them up to a Lucario, it might be worth it to invest the 25 candy to get a new attack. He's still a real because if you try to give a Lucario a second attack, it's going to cost 75 candy and 75,000 Stardust versus the 10,000 Stardust in the 25 candy for a real Loop because babies take less to get that that new attack. You mean the lower baby baby or like just hasn't Evolved first level Pokemon, baby. Okay. Yes, so you have ones that hatch in their lowest form comes from hatching. That's like Pichu. Takes 20 actually. Yeah, 25 candy and 10,000 Stardust. Well while we're looking at these kind of analysis is had battled Little Moons. What about we've got to rebalance the rocket battles, although I've only hit one that really couldn't handle but not that I'm which I definitely saw relax relax relax. I got through one and a half and that was it. It was gonna happen but and it's not like I play on the level you play when I try and you know, you know, my luck is every time I check it. It's not there the 10th time I check it don't check it, you know nine times. I check it tenth time. I don't it's there and I mean, yeah, but I'm actually caught a cut one battle the other day where I could drive over. I was on my way somewhere I could pull over real quick spin it triggered a battle and just leave it and drive through. Going when it got to where I was going I could fight the rocket thing. Did you already spun the bat what the battles trigger? This is there much like catching a Pokemon. So I think you know I can tell you how many have fought because I can look at that metal. Let's see here. No, I want this. Where my Metals there? They are? Okay Team Rocket 19. I have fought 19 Team Rocket's so that brought to get bronze. You have to fight a hundred. So yeah that just tells you my experience of why I'm not finding ones that were too tough. So just not battling all that much. But what's this rebalance? What's is it easier is a little bit harder. I was at work. No, that's not at all what this is about that's literally engage what balance is why would you call two rebounds of has nothing to do with the difficulty? So last week Niantic rebalanced a bunch of moves? And so this is talking about which Pokemon are now good generalists against Team Rocket. So that's what this is. And so Kyogre I mean Kiger 100% is the top-tier water attacker right now Dragonite now that he has his legacy moves is doing pretty good as well. Lucario, of course, which he's been hyped up hyped out the wazoo. Melt metal got a new fighting-type move called super-powered. And so that should actually put him as a decent Contender against some of these lineups specifically Sierras laparis or Cliffs Snorlax and then Heatran got flamethrower in its move pool. So that is pretty nice makes scissor. Easier to handle. Yeah in general lot. A lot of these new moves have I guess rebalance moves have mixed up the meta quite a bit which is both a good thing and also a point of frustration for those that have have hyper tuned their Pokémon to have it exactly how they wanted it. Now, everything is mixed up and they need to change it. All again. That's it. He is kind of what I thought it was going to be. You know, it's not that they made the battles easier or harder, but the rebound still had to do with the difficulties because of the new powers now what's better and worse and those kind of things Firepower Firepower. I love the 90 Museum movies. Those are so great. I just yeah. Right by contrast of tea from Reddit of the best Pokemon in the game. This is the newest version. Yeah contract. He does a really good job of keeping this up to date. We've shared versions of this in the past. This is the newest version. But yeah, they've laid out a bunch a bunch one for every Every type so these are all it for graphics one for every type 1 as a general the these are great Investments and just yeah ton of information here ton of information and then down towards the bottom. He also they also set up great picks for the different leagues so greatly culture league and After league as well and after gas, so if you have a chance come in and take a look and it's not just Pokémon that are currently available some of these are not yet available, but their stats are known and they've made it onto the list as well. For instance. Volcarona is on there and a lot of the the legendaries are on their Reshiram Zekrom. And the land of the Landorus do Duo and so yeah, so yeah, we will provide the link in our show notes hop out there and take a look. Are there any that surprise you? No, cause I don't pay attention to that stuff. I tried to feed a stupid Pokemon that says it's too close. I mean, okay. Now I'm going to jump ahead right? I will jump ahead as II it's asking for berries. I'll see if it because if you do like to catch - throw it now listen, listen, listen, listen Linda, listen, listen, if you it with the a are right if I'm just going to catch one. I turned a are it'll be scaled to basically it would be if it was just a non a are Right just a little sprite on your desk. Your body is not that way. So we're doing a little bit to talk about the Buddy a little bit more here works that way for me. You probably have a r+ turned on that product. I had it aimed at my keyboard and my body is a shield on so I literally just pulled up I stopped at he's gonna try to come out go away. So yeah, I mean our I can't quite touch my screen and the footprints on my screen like, okay, I'll just put him on the screen. And feed him a few berries and it'll quit trying to bug me for berries right now while I'm trying to do the show and I did and he's like a cat shieldon just popped right up and use right in my face like you're too close but here's what I love about it and it might be R. Plus. I love it. Here's what I love about Joe is one. He's like in my face like a real pet because it's so close where it said. He should be the camera blurred it like it couldn't focus on him and you might see me if you're watching this which you might see me leaning back the pull my Hold tight because just like in real life if I pulled it back from where it was supposed to be sitting the camera focused in better, but there's no room to actually throw him because he's like in my face is really cool fact, I was like, all right. See now that I said that it's telling me it's too close. Yeah, then why aren't you no, I'm not gonna no reason not to do it during the show, right because it's going to distract us from the recording and talking about stuff but it is a new feature. And so I think it's relevant to right now what we're talking about and we're going to get to a little bit more. in death with the headline on that, but that it's it's One step closer to really altered reality. Right? I mean, she'll have to look through the phone. So it's always good altar, but they're getting closer and closer to it still cartoony. But can you imagine Joe maybe another generation up on phones like the iPhone 12 right where technology is just that much better if you know every generation it jumps a huge leap that is going to look like detective Pikachu level Graphics when you have your buddy out on your desk, you know. And then beyond that it's yeah, the altered part is you're looking through your phone genetically engineer them and then we'll have I'm okay with that. Yeah, I get a pet, Mew with that MIM YouTube. That's what they say about that. Then we have the moral issues of should we really be fighting them? No, he don't that's what they're bred for. There's no morality to it at all. I'm bored before I know you're the good guy stop it. So now when it says I found on this next headline did you find there's just a headline from somebody who found it? I did not find it. Okay. So cool near a counter guy that sunlight found. I just making sure the person that found it is El Gringo Swami L Gringo Suave. I like this one too. Rico Suave from the 80s. Come on. Joe got educate you mad. So it and Nicole is confirming the chat going back to the buddies that it isn't a r+ thing. It's just an overlay if you turn it off by liked it. I liked it the this guide from Al Green that El Gringo. Sorry found it's almost like chalk drawings. I dig it. It's like chalk doodles. So I like it. Yeah, especially the pink Moltres. Well, I mean most of these are shiny but you know, I know you love the pink vulture I do I do says it's a lot of flight here against Verizon. Nothing runs like a Verizon and that's what he says. It's literally spell present at the bottom. I love this dude can't go fish. You're my hero. You are. My hero can't go fish gives us literally murkrow popping out going nothing runs like a Verizon. Yes, you're seeing all these flighting of flying types against it because he's grass fighting so flying as 4 times effective. All right. Gotcha. I'm always have to look to see if I have the Mewtwo with Legacy. It's seem you to only have one. I got psycho cut and psychic. So knots, I strike. I strike could be the Legacy. That's okay. You'll be fine. Yeah, as long as this double psychic you're fine. Yeah. Yeah be fine. So very cool here. You get woodrick Wasa haunch Crow. You just said his name on Blake and now Fire Pinky Moltres while traz thank you the new pigeon. That's not Pidgeotto. So it's confusing is crap Mewtwo and then the flying Stingray. The that's what it is Togekiss. Okay. What is the flying Stingray his mouth and eyes on the bottom and everything? Yeah, so, you know what? I mean? This is a little off topic, but you know what gets my hackles up. No Joe. I really don't like is your Apples Up the new update broke searching for specific. Oh, It's back. They fixed it. Whew, okay. My hackles are no longer up for a hot minute searching for specific assessments assessments is the wrong word. What word am I thinking of Hackle appraisals specific appraisals was broken so you couldn't do 0 star 1 star 2 Star 3 star 4 star. So I got you so you could actually do it but they fixed it. I did it wrong. Hey want to do it wrong try to put it inside out now, I did it right. It's just doesn't like you just didn't like me straight not triggering probably because Nicole blocked you there. It is took a second. Okay, now you can't bring The chalk drawing sit at table without getting the floor cows for kefka or I think especially for guys but in the the headline is yeah. Thank you. I'll bring it. Yeah, we always goes through all this one. You know, what I forgot to mention was that we're talking about rating and it made me remember I'm a little I'm a little out of it today. I'm sorry. We mentioned this already. You're not the only one getting trolled with the x-rayed passes. All right now, That would be clear. I love with somebody from Halfway Around the World sends me an x-ray pass. It just makes me smile that all right, you know, I know I know open the gifts as much as I should I run out of them. So don't give them out as much as I would like to so I always smile when I get it. But who else are you? Are you starting to get em now Joe Owens the prince for London England. Apparently the Princess Diana Memorial walk. They sent you he sits your raid invite. Yes for us next Thursday. I don't want to come up yesterday or today and it didn't give me the option to accept. It just said decline. So maybe I did look at the date. So maybe I've been sent to me and I missed a date and that obviously all you can do is either that or it got canceled. Okay. Well, I mean I was going to climb it. Anyway, I mean, I guess I could accept it gives you experience either way. A and it just makes the invite invalid. So once you send it you can't rescind If I decline it I might start freaking some people out start randomly accepting them. See if I know they never would show up. But yeah. No, I like it. I think it's cool. It's a years came for me. I think my favorite Came From Italy. Thanks so much. Natalie sent me one to raid. I'm like, yeah stand up this in the airplane ticket. I'm there. I will not turn down a trip to Italy. You sure Barry. Yeah, I was gonna say that was it Barry that sent it to you know, it's a risk vacation. I believe is Barb. I never quite say the name Robert Manatee no friends. I got friends. Crabs this under the choo-choo Choo-Choo Choo-Choo Choo-Choo to name. Let's go with name and then reverse it. Don't try to pronounce it correctly. I have to look at it to do that. Barbra blue is who I believe send it to me and Barbara blue is out of well, they sent us up from frascati Lazio Italy. I'm sure I did not say for Scotty right Lazio. Probably frascati Lazio Italy. So I'm guessing he's gonna say mozzarella and it's all good. Right? Wow. Wow. Okay, I would pick on that, but I'm looking back at this Fork of cows for variety. It was called a Verizon. I have started something Joe. I have changed the world. Everybody's writing Verizon on these things. I dig it so hard but what got me is the bottom. I'm sure you were the first one to ever call it Verizon. Yes ever. Yes. Yes, it's not but he's got a KFC bucket and a hot dog. So that's going to distract me from your highly insensitive remarks here. What what if you have slightest Blaziken? Yeah hotdog is an take that's hilarious. Why why isn't a because he's a dog. He's a fire a fire dog, I guess so Verizon. Yes is vibrant. Yeah ask fighting we talked about that. Yeah. Grass type is weak to fire. So that's why there's some fire people down there if you hate flying types, which is awesome. Okay. Now the one I honestly do not recognize what's the purple double tail? Grat bunny, they Espeon Okay for Kitty cows. I can normally get behind your art. That is not as the all you got. You gotta step up your game gonna have to sell the rest of this a hundred percent get that one. Especially the best verb. Yeah bourbon. Yeah. I love the Mardi Gras pigeon. I love that style. They drew. I love that loogie. I just looks so freaking awkward at can't do anything which is about right if you're playing with Lugia which by the way, That a headline about spoil a headline. I'm not scanning that fast loogie. I did I didn't put it in there. Okay up top. Why would you believe you read a great day? They knew you got one for free and needed another never rated for it. That is true. That is true. All right, what are these times will trick him? He will raise so we've got we got a few more headlines, but Jody's get some caffeine should we talk about the Lugia and hoo-ray since you brought it up because it's not it's not one of the headlines we have listed fine, but it was announced today that there will be a special Lugia and hoo raid weekend starting tomorrow. So that's December 20th and ending on December 23rd. And actually we did talk about this a little bit because there were some people that were Because it's they're missing out on on some time because of sleep. Well not because yeah we talked about because overnight. Yeah, because overnight there's no raids. It's one. But yeah, so that is that's true around the world. It's it well it's not localized. I know but you still missing out on the stage 12 hours every else is missing out on I want to see the math that says that I don't know u.s. Of America. Erica gets more hours and then Austria, that's what I want to see. Because people in Texas said so bigger is better. But yeah, so that is this weekend get out there or don't because you know Charles won't so no not I guess so much going on this weekend is Stoopid Krazy coming up on you know, Christmas is coming next week. The next show we do is going to be Most Christmas where Joe's gonna show off the fact that he is a shiny Moltres and he's gonna have all the shiny Moltres paint. Yeah, how dare you that is Valor bird. I am not I am a shining on the couch Joe we would not have gotten along and stayed together as long as we have on the show if you weren't in your heart, I mean SOB Valor love it dude. I just said I'm too far south to be in Articuno I'd melt. Well on that note, we're gonna take a quick break sit joke is some caffeine and we'll be back in just a moment. The Pokemon go podcast is made possible 100% by you and other listeners just as awesome as you are if you want to support the show and get a little something in return. Just go to patreon.com slash Pokemon go podcast. We're back in thanks for sitting tight for us. He actually did run it get some caffeine and it's gonna be an interesting second half we gave him the the coach's pep. Talk from any given. Live life is a game of inches love that speech. Alright, so but here's a moon on some more headlines. I think I saw that in the theater and fell asleep. Right you so much. That's like I'm not even a foosball fan. That's like the greatest freaking movies. Only Oliver Stone movie. How are you getting off topic yet? If there was foosball and educate Joe hard at DragonCon. All right, but Community note Pokemon can now be found in more places around the world that tells me that they have started pushing new countries, right? Sure, if that's what it tells you that must be what happened was with the headline tells me because you know, it's not in all the countries around the world for a while. We were actually seeing Oh, hey now Brazil has owned a hell no, whatever country has it or did you talk about migrations? It looks I just thought about my greatest migrations. Okay, so they're not adding new countries, which is what I hope for 4 players in countries that don't have it is actually is talking about more migrations around the world to shuffle the deck and let you get more access to different Pokemon not as exciting as I thought it would be Joe not even close and they don't even really give any specifics and so it's like, okay, what does that? Been mean and so if they're just saying look there were some places that were densely populated. And so now those Pokémon are going to be spread out a bit more and so basically all it says is there reworking the spawn points is what it means to me. Yeah, now I mean that makes sense because you know like Fabian in our experience this week's like oh gosh, I need a beldam. Well, I mean even outside of Community Day Beldum are still pretty fairly popular here where I am, that's not we don't get snow here. They go away when it gets cold weather boosts them. Then why would they be popular here? We do get a little snow we get cold. So it gets boost. He doesn't get snow. Yeah, and they're all their psychic to what is it windy windy boost psychic don't know why would win boost psychic when she boost flying. I'm not raw every every every weather-tight boosts like three or three different two to three different types. So it does Boost it does bees flying. I think he's getting too complicated. I know it's been it's been a hot minute since I've checked. What does what it might be cloudy site psychics a weird one because it doesn't logically have a weather condition where it would make sense. This game has yet to the point that I feel like I need to listen to a podcast just be educated enough to do this podcast is I don't think is its layer on top of layer tompa, holy I know I know there's more than one person out there who has every detail memorized easily and can tell us what boosts what what shows up more and more countries. You made me doubt myself. It is windy weather that boost psychic jerkface your valve the animal. Yes, dr. Pepper. But yeah. No, I mean That person in this world who knows all the ins and outs of Pokemon go and and where things spawn how often they move but it is in my tired brain. And now I mean I can tell you a little bit more about stuff. I am more involved with right I can tell you a bit more about the lore of God of War say because I've played all those multiple times so on so forth so I get it but from a casual standpoint it is so much I just Like hey, look I can fit I can Pat my body. Now who here's a berry buddy. I'm good to go. You know, that's its. That's the layer. I'm good with it. Yes a joke, sleep more and drink some dr. Pepper because you're the one who's got to bring this this migration stuff to the table. The now speaking of those buddy Adventures here. I'll see now now look at the graphics. I'm not going to play the video obviously, but if you click on the link and just putting in the twitch, it'll be in the show notes for the podcast. They are using highly rendered models not quite to detective Pikachu levels, but that's even what I'm talking about, even if we get to that level of Polish and again, it's paused. They look like Thanksgiving. Day Parade balloons. Yeah a little bit little little shiny. Yeah, a little-little not real there. But yeah, and then as you scroll down get the picture that's more like it more cartoony there. I just about I just started to hit play on it and then I realized all of that audio is going to go right into the stream. That's beautiful. So let's that let's stop that right there. So you did not play with this at all until right before the show or right after we started the show. Yeah what we started the show, but I've already fed him like a dozen treats. So I'm trying to make him fat. Well, okay. So here's something right learned is it won't matter if you once you fill out that red bar you get that let gonna let that red bar rundown for you morph reverse. It doesn't actually matter because no don't even say they're not real Santa Claus. We're talking about in the game for Progress. You won't get extra harsh by just cramming Joe. Let me explain how babies work when they're hungry. They will let you know they're hungry if you just To shove mashed up berries interface. It will not work. You're not going to get extra Hearts Joe. You gotta let the red bar around that circle around them now to come down. Yeah, but you can still just dangle the food in front of them and tease them why have we swapped roles tonight? I do not understand. I don't like being the smart one. I don't like knowing the crap about this game. So here's another little interesting fact about it right is now it's very touch sensitive to the area because if you hit The buddy you pull the Buddy up directly and that's how you get to the play menu AC their hearts and the progress so and so forth, but then if you go into your settings and turn off AR plus then you don't have it telling you that your buddy is to yeah, but then honestly, it's not as fun. It's not as cool. If you do that in my opinion now, I don't turn on the air Plus or anything else. Yeah. I don't use it for the catching any of that other stuff, but I did actually dug it with this. This is cool and there are Wolves to unlock and how do I find my level stop it? What are you doing? No, I didn't mean click on your Pokemon and you can look at the levels are there it is that the top so the name of your buddies at the top left corner and then you get your hearts just like buddies in the game, right? He is my good buddy. So you can adventuring buddy. You unlock when you get good buddy, which is the first thing you get is. So you give some berries when you get good? Yeah, you get the adventuring buddy and readable mood. Then the next one up you'll unlock catch a cyst and find presence which actually has me a little looks a lot. Okay, I like presents. I like that's good. Then the third level which is ultra body gets find locations find souvenirs again souvenirs new to the game, right and then best buddies and I'm wondering about find locations if it'll help you track down. You basically spawn more Pokemon your buddy will let you know about interesting locations nearby. That doesn't really help. I know I can read but near by forgive me from about the day. But then and they when you get two best buddies, you get the CP boost and a best buddy ribbon. Yay. So interest interesting things and you can swap by. Life you swap your body 20 more times today is what it says. Is that all only 20 x 20 more times 20 more time. And then you have a today's activity in total activities overall. Yeah, and then you saw all the different things that you can get hearts for right? Yeah. We got wall time get this screen. If right now Joe just walk together. I'll give your body a treat. Well, so well together is three heart. It's and with this one is 2K give your buddy a treat is three hearts play together as one heart which play together on the shield on it was just okay the way I was about to say that was going to come off wrong. How do I say it right? I was just petting them like a dog. Basically. I don't know if the other ones do anything different but shield on was very much just as soon as I put my finger on the screen puts his head down and you just like scratch behind his ear and then Bing you got happy and it's popped. Smiley face. I got a hard battle together. And this is a dailies are all the dailies so you can presumably every day. You can reset LOL reset you can do you earn more hearts and that kind of thing battle together up to 10 Hearts A Day take a snapshot and then of course visit a new place. So I'm wondering now except play those games right where let one of my favorite things when Facebook first are doing games was the fish aquarium. You had a nice car turned to an aquarium. I'd go and feed it. Well, if you get busy you don't feed them. They die. We will our Pokémon die if we don't get in there and give them berries and stuff. We haven't given them berries for three and a half years. I think they'll be okay. Not really, I guess I guess if you put them in a gym you could feed them berries before but you know, you didn't visit the gym very awful's. Well, you don't even have to visit. How did you know Mary's January is coming up you hear new, you know go to the gym more. No, that's that's our past that gym membership in Pokemon is way more expensive than the gym membership in the real world. The the all the guilt and the Judgment all I get enough judge. We don't even read what I read iTunes reviews anymore. All the Judgment I get I've got I'm not about to join a gym for all that you if you put it an iTunes review out there and you say nice things. I will read it. I promise Charles swamp novel As I listened read it on are all right Charles listen to it. So there's a new Dev blog and it's also talking about the Buddy Adventures here. Yeah, I'm not going to read this is a lot. It's really right. Now, I would probably related but not on the show don't want to read it. You want to read all of it? No, just look at the nice picture. Look at all those plush animals, either you're gonna get out. Look at that ditto now that didn't wash that's where the third or fourth picture down. That's solid man. I would pay 20 bucks at a con for that. It did. Oh beanbag chair. That's kind of what I think it is. I mean, it's small for being bad chair, but it kind of looks like I did a bean bag chair for ants Are you looking at a picture of okay, I don't think you are. You're the top pictures in the top picture a baby. Could that baby could be on there. I don't I don't think man Joe if you don't get some sleep next week, I'm gonna strangle you. Yes, that's just true. That's come to Chattanooga. I've been there. I know where you live. I could take you to Chicago for a day know if any of these pictures the very last picture that Snorlax was make The best chair out of all of the stuffed animals that's a thought to Snorlax. This door locks would be that that Dad move where to get your kids because your kids are three and five dollar ones five and seven five and seven. I had the space but you're wrong. So perfect five and seven. Hey kids, we're doing a pillow fight. You give them their little normal kid pillow sizes and you whip out that store Lexington Wow's I'm against the wall. That'd be awesome. Now you don't feel a fight with your kids that way just me. Okay, don't call defects. Hey wish.com has put that link in the chat put that link in the notes because I'm sure on his waxing want that? Okay, so there's a graphic for this buddy system to explain it yet. Like Joe said you can earn 10 hearts a day takes a little work. Not much explains the different faces. You'll get ironed a happy face today. I was some berries you can get from this looks like the kids Pain Scale on the on the ambulance. But in this case, it goes from tired all that too excited and see the President says it contains items that can help you in your journey. I'm thinking that's going to be like the gifts that we get from our friends. Yeah. No, you don't think so. I think it'll be evolution items. Oh, that'd be great. Speaking of which I discovered today. I have a you know bastogne you want to know so last was last week unibet knows two weeks ago two weeks. The reason why you weren't getting you know stones and I told you this I don't like I don't care that's because you didn't do the hippie EV research boxes. They had, you know, the stones in them and you were like, I don't care. Nope, not just pass now. Is the minion pass that's a or and you don't know the answer. But if you look at it'll bring the souvenirs and I don't think the super neat because souvenirs and it's something that really won't do anything for you in real life. Right? Just keep it as a Memento. So I'm curious if these will I don't think so. These will do anything either other than just kind of be cool. I don't know that wonky spring I think is going to be amazing. best or the or the single Pearl Earring Oh I got title for you. You went to Singapore Thailand where tell them what they win for the best buddies for the best buddies. What you win is the best buddy ribbon and also your best buddy can get a CP boost in combat making it stronger and more resistant in battles, but wait if you buy now and get two for the price of Kuwait, I'm a meet you now excited mood. So if you if you You work hard. You can view beyond the chat. You can't beat me on the stream crap. That's true. I forgot. I don't have the power anymore. But if you get your your body up to excited mood, which is a top bun right goes tired dull normal happy smile fun excited the excited mood unlocks you distance. It takes your body to find Candy will be cut in half which especially with shield on that would be worth it for me something. Been walking him for a while because I'm trying to get those candies. So Earnhardt's for action will double and trainers can earn bonus Hearts. Once that once you unlock that mood so very cool and saying you can swap your buddy 20 times a day. So if you're a real go-getter and you get those 10 hearts on your body and get that excited mood, either you keep it going and earn some bonus parts for your friendship and possibly you'll get that half candy or you can swap out up to 10. A21 Pokemon you could essentially buddy in a day and 10 heart. You're max out that that's a lot. That's that is probably the most generous launch of anything. The Niantic is done since the beginning. Yeah, if you say so the rewards are kind of man. I'm not talking about the Lord. Please forgive Joe for what I'm about to do to him. This is not another free is free. We don't know what they're going to do. So don't bad me on that stuff. But the whole you can actually instead of being will you get one buddy a day to do this on you can actually do a 21 buddies. That's 210 freaking Hearts Joe. Ed day you got time for that during intend freaking Hearts to the hearts actually reset though when you switch buddies, I haven't tried it. I would assume so I would assume not because their tasks for the day is not a task for a minute, right? It's not like walking. Let's see the walking progress and reset if you swap your buddy, and now the they won't be more progress resets then you know, if you've done the history if you've done 10K the total fucking button reset but the walking progress together candy reset Don't think the high think the hearts consistent days and no you're right Nicole. It does say today's activities, but with that swapping now, I don't think so. I because your buddies your buddy doesn't reset when you don't play with him. I'm not your buddy your friendship levels. Don't reset when you don't play with me. I would swap but I have a 5k buddy, and I'm at 4.8 right now. Let me see where I'm at. So I can I can tell you I'm at three point seven other words you can swap swap buddy of your best friend show. LaBeouf just do it. Alright slack off you are now my buddy. Let's play together again. Sometimes it says then it swaps them out throws the Pokeball slack off. I Choose You and he's just laying the hearts are reset for slack off. Yes. Didn't have any harsh now. Yeah. Like I said, let me go to shield on back. I'm switching back to shield on know I bet when you switch back, they will not reset see that's what I'm talking about. I think we were talking about two different things. Well now you're not going to carry heart progress over to somebody you didn't play with Joe and know Nicole officially they do not reset. I just flop back to Sheldon. That's a great question to call. Thank you for asking that hey Nathan, welcome. The the hearts are are right where I left on the shield on. Oh guess what Joe? I kept my 3.8 out 5K walk on Sheldon. So they actually stop that it did use reset when you swap before I would say. Hey, you're gonna lose your progress. It didn't say that here. So when I put him back in yes, so they fix it. So we learned something. Thanks to Nicole is that when now they fixed it. So you are right. I know you're right that when we talked for days. Are you sure you want to swap because going to lose your progress? No now they're encouraging to swipe through buddies because I kept my progress. I just realized that warning any pop-up. I kept my progress and now, you know, the heart's definitely stay in place. so so soon now, here's the last little paragraph owner read in this whole vein of buddies after buddy Ventures available, which it is now, right this this little post was a little before that they'll be even more to look forward to soon. Your body will be able to meet your fellow trainers buddies and shared a our experience mode. So you can sync up with two other trainers and AR plus mode to take a group photo with your buddies to get that's actually kind of cool. I was teasing that kind of cool long time. They have been yeah, dude. Sandbox, and the Earth the players whatever. Yeah, they've been talking about playing with your buddy and stuff for a while. Yeah, they even had the little microphones or the not Michael. Yeah that you can hook up to your phone. So that your bucket buddy could make noises through your phone. Yeah, that's also a hard pass but I like the idea of it. It's kind of cool. All right, we got to get we got stuff to do tonight. So there's a Pokémon go Christmas calendar. Is this a an in-game thing we're going to To get bonuses. No, this is something made by our good friend jacket K. By the way, Rock got of grub. That was funny jacket. That was funny. I on Twitter actually officially known to like and share it. I've been busy today, but I did see it and thought it was great. Although I notice it jacket K liked his own post his own Twitter post before I liked his Twitter post. So that's that's that just made me laugh. But yeah, well what you probably saw was me posting it. On our Twitter. I thought maybe you liked our Twitter. Whatever. All right, never mind. So Jackie came a this calendar and it lays out where now you got me messed up. Joe can't speak lays out everything that's going to be happening per day. You done messed up ay-ay Ron. So go look at the calendar. It's linked in the notes moving on then. Yes, we get is wonderful and it is full of Christmas Joy would you say it's adventurous? So all right. I'm not even go through this so much on this infographic. We do the weekly update by wonderful one and is a To save said we've covered a lot of it. I don't think he actually likes us. Well, that's it makes me sad now. I'm going to reach out to wonderful ones. Hey, man, listen to the show because that'd be awesome. So back we got we got street fight to play when it gets that but jacket case calendar actual cover you to the end of the month. It's really good and nothing's going to really change their. Yep and cuckoo. Could you I mean cub Chu is released. Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo, and then I want to see what Nicole sitting here in the chat room. Not until Christmas Eve. Nathan says what if you evolve your Pokémon Ike that I can't do but I imagine it still keeps the Charles can't of all this Pokemon that my shield. I've got a he's got a special version of the game from his uncle hanky that prevents him from ever evolving anything. I want to meet you so bad, but I will do no good. Tell us about the Gibble family. I feel like we're playing Family Feud and on the right. We got the Gibble family. So it Gibble it really really weird during the egg pool shake up. His shiny form was released, which I I've been operating under the assumption that we wouldn't get shiny Gibble until he had a community day. But yeah shiny Gibble is out and about so you can hatch him from 10K eggs you can also find shiny Gible in the wild. If you are one of the very very lucky people to actually find him. So that is pretty uh seen a few of the players, you know on my friends list. I have found them. I have not. Yeah shiny Garchomp. He's not different enough that I really care. Yes. It's a darker blue shiny Gible. It is pretty neat. But yeah the Garchomp I'm like, yeah. It's kind of like the colors are just muted on shiny Garchomp. Yeah, I get that. I mean this is one of those that is just not that much different. Of course the graphics are there. Yeah, so Joe. Hey, hey Charles Hey, Joe. You're the smart one today. You know what time it is. It is time for not so random trivia trivia trivia trivia and tonight. I wanted to talk about Virizion not to be confused with Verizon. It is the grassland Pokemon. It is the third member of the swords of justice that we have gotten. If you don't recall from previous random trivias, these are based. Roughly on the Three Musketeers with Keldeo filling in for D'Artagnan as the number for member of the swords of justice as we've talked about all evening Virizion is a grasp fighting-type Pokémon. Its pokedex entry says that this Pokemon fought humans in order to protect its friends legends about it continue to be passed down it also so that's the black pokedex entry. But the white Pokedex entry actually talks about the horns on its head that are as sharp as blades and that it uses its Whirlwind like movements to confound and swiftly cut its opponents. I'll cut you so bad I didn't catch you so bad. So like I said, this is one of the Musketeers it is based off of Aramis specifically because Aramis was the best at swordplay and yeah. A lot of fun get out there and get this Antelope gazelle stag thingy. The name Virizion probably comes from the name or the words Viridian and Champion Veridian being a bluish-green color, which is the color that he is and you know, he is the champion. Are you not going to sing? Are you expecting me to sing? I'm not sure where we just had a moment of silence where everyone's together. Yeah, we're like he was a champion moment of silence, please what else what else what else we got with with Verizon. There. He is the grass type Pokemon with the highest special defense stat, which is weird since he's supposed to be the sword play. The best at swordplay so you think that it would be you know special attack or just attack but no he has the highest special defense of all grass type Pokemon. And that's why you need that quadruple flying attacks to get through his defenses. Yep, because let's face it. The Musketeers just can't handle airplanes. That's that's fine art. This fighter jets will take that true. So many levels now. Can you find Verizon all over it? Very very easy. Whatever his name is you have to check it coverage map for that. Are they ever? Yeah, that's what masking joke. Is he spawning? Is he spawning all over the world? Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. So unlike the actual Verizon you can't actually get servers everywhere with this one. Well, I mean wherever Pokemon go is available. That's true. Yeah you there. I guess you can't go to poke at Sixth and and and get them don't think he spawning in Antarctica or the North Pole? They had to extend our he's Santa Claus. Niantic is anti-christmas. Any other interesting worms from here? No, sir. Okay. I got to show you something for you play this before we play this I just as I put my phone down there was enough movement and my character that hatch my 10K Egg and I just got a pharaoh seed. Yeah, that's my first an affair. I got them from a raid because you know, I do those. That doesn't make you special just makes your follower Joe. That's all. So, alright, we have one of our favorite people waiting on the line. You like to hit hit go. Hey you guys cheeky Nashville here, and I'm from Nashville.

We're looking at the website thing. I'm not sure if we're gonna be able to do anything about that or not. However, Joe we do have an issue for the MP3 versus him for a right.
