You should feed Ash some Rare Candies… Maybe he’ll finally evolve…
he’ll probably just get really old.
awesome show keep it up
Wow, I though talking about berries for over an hour would be a challenge, but now this?
But anyway, this episode looks like it will a good one to listen too, maybe it will even teach me a few tips on catching Pokemon as well.
Thanks again Jowy & KC!
I was actually hoping you would go nowhere near this topic. I could have taught everybody it and became TPTly famous… In a completely different episode, I think one of you said something along the lines of: “The formula is so convoluted that I will not even mention it.”
Haha the formula!
Yo guys are great and funny keep it up
Great show guys. Keep it up.
Great episode! I love the formula!
Thanks for some tips you taught me!!
Seriously though, are you guys running out of ideas? Because I felt like this episode was nothing new, and it seems like the episodes get less and less interesting as time goes on…
Nothing new? We never discussed this topic before… that’s why we did it.
What I meant by that is, how much can you really learn from or be entertained by a podcast about Pokeballs? It really isn’t a very interesting or deep topic.
Some people may not have thought there was much, if not any ‘Art of Capturing a pokemon’ but KC & Jowy have given us a great episode that actually reveals that there is alot hidden behind the sprites and sounds of the game. Alot of children and even adults dont know that there is a serious amount of math involved when you EV train or IV breed pokemon so it makes sense that math would be involved with the capture of a pokemon too. I think KC & Jowy did a good job showing off the facts and I look forward to the next episode.
Something basic to a lot of people is always new to SOMEbody out there. So I like to see the variety of subject matter.
I love the pic! I don’t know why, it’s just appealing. Another awesome episode!
Another little thing I noticed that was missing… Arc, wake up and do Blaine’s Gym already…
I hope we get to do another anniversary episode next year where we pick our favorite clips, because Jowy’s comment after that young caller’s voice mail was hilarious.
I have actually met marriland in real life, in fact i think he works at my local kmart. I could ask him (thogh he probably doesn’t know that i know hes marriland) if i see him at the store or at a pokemon tournament
Awesome episode guys, keep em coming.
I just got done listening to this podcast and heard my email about the ringtones being read, I am Stevan, I used to have the Zelda secret ringtone on my LG shine. I don’t have an iPhone, my real curiosity was just where to find good soundbites. My Shine broke and ATnT sent me a Xenon to replace it. I found out about the Kingdom Hearts site that has a crapload of mp3s and am now using the recover.mp3… so every time my phone rings I think to myself “somewhere a pokemon is getting healed”. The mp3 is the doinka-doinka-doinka-DUNH sound that you hear when Nurse Joy is recovering/reviving your pokes at a pokecenter.
Jowy referred to Hermes work of ringtones or sounds and said he would provide a link. I couldn’t find that link, can you post it (again)?
