I was at the movies. 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: You never listened, but was it me too? It was 24 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: a very sad thing. Um. And I have like flashbacks 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and nightmares of Pikachu because of Super Smash Brothers. My 26 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: best friend Katie always played a Pikachu Peka Pika and 27 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: then you're on fire, You're dead? Wow?

Um. 30 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: It didn't come out until I was already in high school, 31 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: so I was a little bit a little bit old 32 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: for it at that point. Um. Not that not that 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: you're ever too old for it, because when Pokemon Go 34 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: came out, I definitely started playing that with my friends 35 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: and I am still playing that like to this day. 36 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: So yes, yeah, yes, And I have fond memories of 37 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: being in Hawaii and wrangling you and super producer Dylan. 38 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: You'd go off and play Pokemon Go. You'd be like, Eddie, 39 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: come up, please, just ten minutes, ten minutes, and I'd 40 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: be like fine. We were like in between places. We 41 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: were like kind of waiting for something, and I was 42 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: like there's an air dactyl over there and I need one. So, 43 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, like we went on a little adventure. It 44 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: was nice. It was very nice and quite funny because this, 45 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, Lauren says this to me and I'm thinking, 46 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: what is what is my life? And I will say 47 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: the theme song. The Pokemon theme song has been a 48 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: hit at work karaoke events, to the point I requested 49 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: every time it brings down the house and superproducers. I 50 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: think it was Dylan or maybe Andrew requested it the 51 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: first time, and there's no looking back. I'm pretty sure 52 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: we posted an Instagram video of us singing it stories 53 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: both of our superproducers here on Saber and also I 54 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: believe our super producer Paul gets really into it.

It is a surprisingly to me, like 151 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: dark and strange world. I read the descriptions of some 152 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: of these dudes, and I'm like, this is a children's franchise, 153 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Like that's messed up.

So looking at these, 163 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: you might think they look like Japanese rice balls are 164 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: on Geary. However, four Kids Television Network was worried Western 165 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: audiences wouldn't recognize this Japanese food um or associated primarily 166 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: with Japanese cuisine perhaps um So in the English dub 167 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: they called them jelly donuts, and this went on to 168 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: become an infamous meme. Yeah, it's not that they call 169 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: them that once and then move along like this is 170 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: a running like this is like part of the structure 171 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: of the episode, and so they say it like nine 172 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: times like and everyone like like this character who made them, 173 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: who's called Brock in the dub, is is all like, 174 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: oh man, I made some jelly donuts. Nothing's better than 175 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: jelly donuts, would you like someone my famous jelly donuts. 176 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: And everyone's like, oh man, I love jelly donuts. And 177 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: then later they're like, oh I wish I had some 178 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: jelly donuts. Donuts are great, jelly filled in my favorite 179 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: nothing beats a jelly filled donut. And it just it 180 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: gets funny your every single time it happens. Because it 181 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: is clearly a rice ball wrapped in seaweed, and like 182 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: some of the characters, like some of the shots, like 183 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: they've bitten into it. And you can see the little bushi, 184 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: the little um pickled plum inside. Like there's no universe 185 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: in which this looks like a jelly donut, is what 186 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Anyway, I feel like I've seen. I think 187 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: he really captured it, Lauren. Yeah, yeah, it did. It 188 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: went on to become a very very uh infamous meme, 189 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: and it did inspire numerous recipes for the donuts, including 190 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: one created by Benching with Babish, and also recipes for 191 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: rocks rice balls. Yeah, he created two recipes, one for 192 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: the donuts and one for the rice balls. It's pretty sweet. Um. 193 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: And then kind of related uh mile satas, which are 194 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: our type of fried doughnuts, usually coated in sugar, sometimes filled. 195 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: You can see our episode from our Hawaiian mini series 196 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: we did on them for more information. Um. Pokemon also 197 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: these and people in this universe all sweet. These they're 198 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: healing and I agree, oh yeah, oh yeah, no, we 199 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: had some really really really good ones out in Hawaiti. Uh, 200 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: And the world of Pokemon is sort of like a 201 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: like a parallel universe Earth, um, And there are several 202 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: world regions that bear similarity to Earth regions, and one 203 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: of them is sort of parallel to Hawaii. It's called 204 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: a Lola. Oh okay. So there's also brock stew, which 205 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: is a common stew that this character Brock cooks up 206 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: in the Pokemon universe. There's no recipe or real indication 207 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: of what exactly it entails. Um. The internet is right 208 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: with recipes though, from chowders to creamy soups. And if 209 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: I understand correctly, this was another kind of um, purposeful 210 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: mistranslation in the cartoon series because it's like like like 211 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: when you when you look at it, it's like clearly 212 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: a cream based dish. Um. It looks like maybe like 213 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: a kind of curry, like it's meant to be like 214 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: a curry rice kind of situation. But they just the 215 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: dub is like, this is beef stew. Would you like 216 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: some beef stew? So was it sounds like they're kind 217 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: of trying to mess with your head, like you know, 218 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: like a subliminal message like oh this is I don't 219 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of things that honestly 220 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: tripped me out really hard about all. I think I 221 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: can see like a black Mirror episode where you're just 222 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: like constantly being told that your truths you held to 223 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: be true are not true at all, being slowly gaso 224 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: lit into oblivion by Pokemon. Okay, never saw that one coming, 225 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: but you should have. I guess I should have brand 226 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: for us. We've gotten to the bottom of this. If 227 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: you never hear from us again, you'll know, you'll know why. Yeah. Yeah, 228 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Pokemon game freak got to us finally. Um uh so 229 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: so yeah. So A couple of those dishes are our 230 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: home cooked dishes within the pokem On universe. But there 231 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: are restaurants in the world of Pokemon, a number of 232 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: them that appear across various games, and um, eating at 233 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: them involves battling other trainers or the staff. Oh yeah, 234 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: just eat at the restaurant. You've got a yeah, no, no, no, 235 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: yeah right. So, so I believe in the game's Sun 236 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: and Moon, you can visit the battle buffet in a 237 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: lola um and you like browse the dishes offered, and 238 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: if you choose one on this buffet that another trainer wants, 239 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they will battle you for it. And at the end 240 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: of your dining experience, you're a waitress will give you 241 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: a satisfaction score based on how many dishes you got 242 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: and their quality. And these satisfaction scores go ahead, you 243 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: go ahead, I have questions, Yeah, go ahead, okay. And 244 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: these satisfaction scores range from you look totally unsatisfied, like 245 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: your body and mind are both still hungry. Um at 246 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: the end to uh, you have the look of someone 247 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: whose belly is full of delicious goodies at the top end. So, okay, 248 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean this isn't too far off from a buffet 249 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: in in our real world. Correct, I've seen some throwdowns. 250 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever you as the consumer of 251 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: food gets rated. Okay, yeah, okay. Um. And apparently there 252 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: is a replay bonus that if you've played through the 253 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: game and you go back. Um, it includes a woman 254 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: who is known as the Buffet Queen, and she shows 255 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: up and if you can get a perfect satisfaction score 256 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: while she's there, she will name you the new Buffet 257 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: Queen or King too much responsibility, I know you know. Um. 258 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: The dishes that appear there include a steak, some ramens, 259 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: some sushi, and a number of other things that I 260 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: will get back to in a minute. I believe in 261 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: the game Pokemon Stadium, there's a mini game set in 262 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: a like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, you know where 263 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: liq at tongues, which is a type of poke a dude. 264 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: They compete to eat the most sushi off of the belt. 265 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: They've got these long, long, long tongues. So yeah. Um. 266 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: And in another game, I think it's in Omega Ruby 267 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: and Alpha Sapphire. Um, you can visit the Maville Mauville 268 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: food court in Hollan, which is based on Japan's main island. 269 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: You in in this game, you you you order food 270 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: from one of the food courts three counters, and then 271 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: take a seat at a table to wait for your meal, 272 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: and other trainers will come and challenge you for your 273 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: seat while you wait. What no again, this is like 274 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: this is pretty close to real life, Like I've seen 275 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: this happen. That is true, h. I believe the three 276 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: restaurants there are a sandwich shop, um, a French place, 277 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: a French cafe, and a Raman shop. And I think 278 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: from the same games, you can also visit four restaurants, 279 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: four different restaurants in a Lumio City and Callos, which 280 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: is based on Paris, France. And in these games, every 281 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: dish that you order has a specific amount of cooking time, 282 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: like like a number of game turns necessary for the 283 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: dish to come out perfectly, and so your server will 284 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: challenge you to a game with exactly that many turns, 285 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: and the quality of the dish will therefore depend on 286 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: whether you can meet this this time challenge. This is 287 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: a lot of like it seems if I just want 288 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: to eat a food, very difficult to do in this world. 289 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: I know this all seems very stressful to me personally, 290 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: but I'm thinking about how mad I am when I'm hungry, 291 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: and well then yeah, you might be a contender and 292 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: they say you, oh, you could be the buffet queen. 293 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: You know, someone's got to do it. I'm imagining a 294 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: Mandalorian spinoff where like the Mandalore is like the Buffet 295 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: lore or something. Yeah, oh no, And I said, the 296 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: Dark Saber it's like a spoon. Yeah, this is what 297 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: this is what I would be in this universe. I 298 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: would rule over the buffet with an iron gauntlet. Well, 299 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 1: I did want to I did want to put in 300 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: here that in that that the names of these four 301 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: like french Ish restaurants in this game, in order of 302 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: quality from lowest to highest are restaurant Lena, restaurant, Yeah, 303 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: a restaurant low wow um, and the sushi high Roller. 304 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: This kind of a pivot, yeah, but I appreciated it. Yeah. 305 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: Remember Laurena and I were having this conversation the other 306 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: day with our friend Joe McCormick about like key points 307 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: in universes that you can tell your your universe because 308 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: it has never been said before in any other university, 309 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: like like a singularity. Right, You're just like, Nope, that's 310 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: it right there, That is this universe.

Yes, this, 313 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: this combination of words is unique to this situation, and 314 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: it's so true, like a podcast fingerprint is what's happening 315 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: for our universe.

But from what I understand, 332 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: from what I understand it, it's not made of soft serve. 333 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: It's made of ice. You could get shave ice, though 334 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: I have not I have not witnessed to your knowledge. Yeah, yeah, 335 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: that occur. But now I'm pretty sure that there is 336 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: a toy out there that is that is this thing? 337 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: M oh and one of the dishes at restaurant ly yeah, 338 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: um is a blue cheese made from the milk or 339 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: venom of a female arbok, which is a type of snake. Ah. Yes, 340 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: that's another fun thing. Since neither you are or are 341 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: very familiar with this world. Um, I did look up 342 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: pictures all the pokemon were talking about. This is a 343 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: good chuckle as well. Yeah yeah, if you if you 344 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: need a descript most of what we mentioned in here, 345 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm familiar enough with to describe. So if you need 346 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: me to, I think I might. I don't know what 347 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: I offered myself for. Um uh yeah, but no, I 348 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: mean lots of Apparently there are lots of edible by 349 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: products that come from pokemon. Um. There's a thing called 350 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: a snow over that sort of looks like a like 351 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: a snow covered tree, and I guess it grows nuts 352 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: under under the branch type appendages on its belly. Tropius 353 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: grows edible berries. Not sure about that, guy, Uh, octillery 354 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: inc Is edible? Yeah, well optic stude Yeah. Combi Um 355 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: and vesp queen both make honey and uh Skitto milk, 356 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: which is a plant based milk, can be used to 357 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: make snacks. Okay, okay, I think I got so stuck 358 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: on the snow I got stuck on the very first 359 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: thing you said of growing nuts. Um, it's belly. But 360 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: I'm catching up, all right. Um. Then there's the extremely 361 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: awkward looking turtle named Schuckle. According to the poke a 362 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: decks quote hides under rocks, keeping its body concealed inside 363 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: its shell while eating stored berries. The berries mixed with 364 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: its body fluids to become a juice, and that this 365 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: juice is quote delicious. M hmm. That that is what 366 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: I said. When Cody said that to me, I was like, oh, really, questions, 367 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: many questions. I guess that's a good segue into what 368 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about next, um, which is pokemon 369 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: as a food, because yes, it seems humans do eat 370 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: pokemon and that perhaps some pokemont other pokemon I think so, yeah, 371 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: or parts of them at least. Um. So, for example, 372 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: humans can purchase slow poke tail, both peppered on salad 373 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: and in keiche form or dried in a Lowland stews spiced, 374 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: which might involve simmering a slow poke until the tail 375 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: falls off. And uh yeah, these tails can be very expensive. 376 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: I saw prices and high cost item. Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly. 377 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: And it's also implied that they are sometimes sucked on 378 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: like maybe honeysuckle or something instead of straight eaten. So 379 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: so slow pokes are this kind of um, how would 380 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: you It's like a it's like a smooth pink otter 381 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: looking creature, sort of like a like a chubby pink otter, 382 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: all right, And they apparently use their own tails as 383 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: fishing lures, so I guess it follows that those tails 384 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: are tasty, and and this has been like a kind 385 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: of confusing point throughout several games and or other bits 386 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: of the franchise, Like apparently the removal and black market 387 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: sale of slow poked tails was at first a money 388 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: making scheme by the evil team Rocket and the cause 389 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: of much outrage. But the tails do grow back pretty quickly, 390 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: and like slow pokes are kind of not smart enough 391 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: to feel pain, and like later talking on the slow folk, 392 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: and like later it became more widely accepted as a 393 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 1: food stuff, and in a lola, their tails just like 394 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: fall off anyway, So it's okay, I don't really I 395 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: don't really, I don't really understand. Um. The full day, 396 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: another another dish at restaurant ly Yeah, is a bracciola 397 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: of slow poke tail. So there you go, fancy right, right, 398 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: there's a vivid fantasy among human characters about cooking a 399 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: magic harp, so you know that implies that perhaps they 400 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: eat it, but maybe not, or maybe they just really 401 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: want to and they're like, oh man, maybe it's like 402 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: when I go to the aquarium and I feel bad 403 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: thinking about what all of the fish would taste like, Yeah, okay, 404 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: so let's talk about far fetched. The pok decks entry 405 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: for far fetched reads a wild duck Pokemon far fetched 406 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: makes a delicious meal, especially when cooked with leak. Because 407 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: of this, far fetched is nearly extinct, and we talked 408 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: about far fetched in our Scallion Green Onions If episode. 409 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because this this uh, this pokemon is right. 410 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: It's it's this duck Pokemon that's carrying a leak. And 411 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: it's based on um this saying in Japanese, which translates 412 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: something to the extent of like, it's lucky if a 413 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: duck crosses your path carrying its own leak, meaning that 414 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: like that like ducks are delicious, leaks are delicious, Duck 415 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: leak soup is delicious. So if like a duck just 416 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: wanders by you and it's already carrying a leak, that's 417 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: that's hacking. That's hacking. Great fortune, that's a good day. Yeah, 418 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: one less step for you. Two birds, one stone, as 419 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: they say. Hey. However, the far fetched situation is a 420 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: bit different in the Garler region, which is UK based 421 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: whatstand um where sir Fetched, which is an evolution of 422 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: far fetched, will come for you if you even think 423 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: about it. Think about putting this precious duck based pokemon 424 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: with a leak into soup um and sir fetched is 425 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: a is a bird with a huge scallion sword it's 426 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: like bigger than he is, and a vegetable shield of 427 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: some sort. Highly recommend looking at pictures. Yeah yeah, very 428 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: stern looking. I would not want to mess with that. Yes, 429 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: hilariously angry. Yeah yeah, I don't want to mess with either. Uh. 430 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: It's also a possibility that I couldn't confirm this, but 431 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: it's a possibility to Sometimes um mill tanks, which are 432 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: a cow pokemon are sometimes made into hamburgers. I like 433 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: this can confirm. We need more fact checkers on this one. 434 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: We need the best minds um. Let's talk about Kingler 435 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: and the pokemon it evolved from Crabby. It's never explicitly 436 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: confirmed that humans eat these lobster grab looking Pokemon, but 437 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: there is a dish and Pokemon sword and shield, and 438 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: it's employed in the original animal that crabby are for 439 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: eating and fighting. There's definitely images out there of like 440 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: soups or stews that just objectively have crappy parts sticking 441 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: out of them. So yeah, And and the name you know, crabby, 442 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: I believe is a pun on this very crabby crouchy 443 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: uh creature come on and fights at but can also 444 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: perhaps be eaten. People also eat the meat found inside 445 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: the punching glove like claws of the crab brawler or 446 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: crab brawler. Perhaps um quote what little meat they contain 447 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: is rich and delicious, that's from the poke a decks. 448 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: Sure yeah, clouncher's claws are eaten too, but their claws 449 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: fall off naturally, So perhaps snow coclemon was harmed in 450 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: that one. Um. Craw Dants used to be eaten, but 451 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: apparently folks decided that they tasted bad and smelled bad too, 452 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: so good for the crawl dance. Perhaps, I don't know, 453 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: mm hmm, I don't know how it feels about it. 454 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't presume to say that's wise you should do 455 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: that Then there's scarpedo. According to the poke dex quote, 456 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: it has a sad history in the past. It's dorsal 457 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: fin was a treasured food stuff. So this pokemon it 458 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: became a victim of overfishing. You know. I like that. 459 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: I like that there is like like sustainable outlooks on 460 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: fishery within the Pokemon universe. I'm glad that they're thinking 461 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah. Yeah. Um. Then there's bar Rescua, which yes, 462 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: does look like a bear cuta. Here's the entry from 463 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: the poke a dex on this one. Bearscua's flesh is 464 00:32:53,400 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: surprisingly tasty. Mm hmm. Another fish type Pokemon, basculine, is 465 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: eaten on a larger scale quote a common food source. 466 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: Then there are gabyte scales. So the gabite is like 467 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: a dragon thing and it scales apparently grant restorative properties 468 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: when eaten and are used for other medicinal properties to However, 469 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: gabytes naturally malt their scales, so maybe they are not 470 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: harmed in the process either. Yeah. I believe seedrus scales 471 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: are also used in traditional medicine. Okay, and now we're 472 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: getting into the the dessert and cafe section. Um. Okay, 473 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: so I am given to understand that there is a 474 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: cotton candy pokemon called Swirlings which evolves into a slur puff, 475 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: which Cody described as a sentient meringue. It actually sounds 476 00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: terrifying to me. That sounds like some you know what's 477 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: it called in D and D those gloves you're letting 478 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: mis cube cinthiate. Meringue is something that you could encounter 479 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: in a D and D. I'm honestly a little weirded 480 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: out by meringue to begin with. And so yeah, this 481 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: sounds like the stuff of nightmares. And now I am 482 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: pretty sure you're going to use that knowledge against me 483 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: in a future game of D and D. Great, never 484 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: give the master ideas, do it, y'all um. And then 485 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Appleton's some of your listeners have written in about this one. 486 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: I adore this, so it's It's one of the evolutions 487 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: of Applin, the other being flapp hole flap h that 488 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: is so good. Appleton also first appeared in Sword and Shield. 489 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: And it looks straight up like a pie. The polk 490 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: a decks and tree for it reads. Its body is 491 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: covered in a sweet nectar, and the skin on its 492 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as 493 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: a snack. I don't know what that means. I don't 494 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: know what that means. I know, terrifying. I just imagine 495 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: children like ripping off the skin like malts naturally, I 496 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. Okay. Then we have the Milsery, 497 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: which is a cream blob Pokemon that evolves into um 498 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: al creamy, which is a again Cody described it as 499 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: a whipped cream monkeylus um. And to evolve this, this 500 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: guy you have to eat, You personally have to spin 501 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: around and then strike a pose. And the flavor of 502 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: the al creamy that you wind up with depends on 503 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: the time of day that you do this, in the 504 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: length and direction of the spin, plus what kind of 505 00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: food it's holding at the time. Wow, and that is 506 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: already a lot. But then Cody said out loud to me, 507 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: as though it were a thing that people just say, 508 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: it never stops producing cream. This is like a horror movie. 509 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: It's like the Ring. I don't you understand. It never 510 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: stops producing cream. Terrifying. It apparently uses this cream defensively, 511 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: like when attacked, it will throw cream and its opponent, 512 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: and if the opponents should eat the cream, it soothes 513 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: it until the opponent doesn't even want to fight anymore. 514 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: Oh my brain is struggling so hard to confidend all 515 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: of this. But it's excellent whipped cream homunculous. Yeah, tell 516 00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: Cody thank you. I already did. I will add your 517 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: thanks to the thanks piles. Oh wow. Then there's cheruby Chruby, 518 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: which is basically a cute little cherry with an even 519 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: little er cherry sleeping on its head. And this little 520 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: cherry is described in the pok decks as sweet and tasty. Okay, 521 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: but this is where it gets crazy. Um. This baby 522 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: head is where the rubies nutrients comes from, so it 523 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: can't survive without it, so if you take it, you're 524 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: leaving poor Ruby to die a slow death. But it's 525 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: tasty I meant apparently because both poke came on and 526 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: people eat it, so oh wow. Okay. Then then, um 527 00:37:53,960 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: there are Sinisty and pole t Geist wa are black 528 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: tea pokemon that possess teacups and teapots respectively. Um. Sinistery 529 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: can drain your life force if you drink it, but 530 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: apparently it tastes really bad, so like generally that doesn't happen. 531 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: You like usually spit it out pretty fast. Um paulty geist, 532 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: on the other hand, tastes really good, but it only 533 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: lets trusted trainers drink it. What it can cause indigestion 534 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: if you drink too much, so watch out for that. 535 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: What Furthermore, y'all both come in two forms um antique 536 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: and phony, and you can tell the too apart, but 537 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: by seeing whether there's an authenticity mark on the bottom. 538 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: So there are both genuinely produced which are rarer and 539 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: uh phony haunted teacups and teapots that you can drink 540 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: the pokemon out of. So does that imply that the 541 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: haunting is not real? It's a phony haunting. It's a 542 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: it's a real haunting, but it's a it's a phony 543 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: piece of china. Oh, I'm glad we cleared that up. 544 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: Then the haunting is quite real, got it? Got it? 545 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to drink too much. No indigestion understood. Yeah, 546 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: And I will say that the hardest I laughed while 547 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: doing this reading um was at this pair of kataku 548 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: hadlines um. The first was paulty guist is made out 549 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: of tea and you shouldn't drink it. And the second 550 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: is stopped telling me to drink the new Tea, Pokmon, Nintendo. 551 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: These were like two months apart, and I just felt 552 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:10,720 Speaker 1: the like increasing desperation on the part of Kataku. Oh 553 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 1: that's wonderful. Yeah. Um yeah. The second hartist I laughed, 554 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: I had I had to put in here is uh 555 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: when when I realized that there is a legit article 556 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: about the food politics of Pokemon in the magazine Modern Farmer. 557 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: Wow on Modern Farmer. Right, all right, okay, it's all 558 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: these questions about like sustainability and like responsibility and like 559 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: ethics of eating these sentient beings. That's some nursery I 560 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: would pull. Yeah. Yeah, I've written about the economy of 561 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: a fantasy world once. My friends were like, you've got 562 00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: to stop. But I have questions, speaking of we have 563 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: some more questions. We do, we do, but first we've 564 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: got one more quick break for a word from our sponsor, 565 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: and we're back. Thank you sponsored, Yes, thank you, and 566 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: uh so so we we do frequently take a quick 567 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: break during our ad breaks, um, and just just have 568 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: a little bit of a chat. And in this one, y'all. Uh. 569 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: Producer Andrew, who by the way, referred to before we 570 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: started recording today Pokemon as being his childhood crystallized. So 571 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: so yes group grew up with these games in this show, 572 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: and UH made sure. We wanted to make sure that 573 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: we mentioned the pokemon um Bounce Sweet because this is 574 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: a Pokemon from the Lolan area that resembles a mango steam, 575 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: which we have talked about on the show. And in 576 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: doing a quick google about this, I discovered that um 577 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: they're often used as living air fresheners because they smell 578 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: so sweet, and that they are in fact too sweet 579 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: for human consumption. But it's sweat is sometimes used to 580 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: make a juice sweat juice m That is what I 581 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: have been given to understand from the Internet, and perhaps 582 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: it's best to leave it at that. I think we 583 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: should move on. Yes, although I have to say we're 584 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: not necessarily moving into safer territory. That is absolutely accurate, 585 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: because now we wanted to discuss the diets of Pokemon. Yeah, yes, 586 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: do they include other Pokemon? This has long I'm being 587 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: a mystery at the forefront of Pokemon scholars minds generally, 588 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,720 Speaker 1: as makes sense because you know, when you're talking about 589 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: like game mechanics, UM food fed to Pokemon serves as 590 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: a curative or a stat's enhancer. Many real world foods 591 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: make an appearance in their diet, lots of berries, um, 592 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: and fictional foods as well. There is a definite Pokemon 593 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: food chain in place. Yeah. While most Pokemon appeared to 594 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: be omnivorees, others eat insects and piggi eggs and catter 595 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,439 Speaker 1: pie that's a type of caterpillar. Yeah yeah um yeah. 596 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: Berries do seem to be the most common food for Pokemon. Um. 597 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: You can harvest or grow them in different games. Um. 598 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: They usually write have some kind of health or other 599 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: effect on Pokemon. Um. They're like over sixty different kinds 600 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: of berries. There is a berry decks um. Many are 601 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: based real world fruits. Pokemon berry parallels to foods that 602 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: we have covered on the show include the per sim berry, 603 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: the nanab berry, the pineap berry, duran berry, got it, 604 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: pashow berry, and the merkleberry or mickleberry my michael berry anyway. 605 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: Um and apparently in some games, the types of berries 606 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: will correspond to improvement scores in particular categories. So like, 607 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: dry berries add to a Pokemon's beauty, spicy berries add 608 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: to a pokemon's coolness factor, sweet berries add cuteness. Bitter 609 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: berries impart smartness um, and sour berries impart toughness. Yeah 610 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 1: all right, um, and in some games you can combine 611 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:10,879 Speaker 1: them to make a different more advanced food items or medicines. Right. Um. 612 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: And then there's a Brocks homemade Pokemon food, which sort 613 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: of looks like a dry pet food. Prior to the 614 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: introduction of berries, Pokemon food was implied to be the 615 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: main food source for Pokemon. Although berries are an ingredient 616 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: in this and like pet food in all real world, 617 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: they are designed to be This food is designed to 618 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: be tasty and healthy. Um. It is edible by humans 619 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: as well, particularly trainers and breeders. They'll taste it to 620 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: test how good it is the texture, and Brock is 621 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: known for making some of the best Pokemon food in 622 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: a variety of flavors.

And then there are puffins, which is a 626 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: combo of the words pokemon and muffins. This food item 627 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: debuted in generation four and they are these sort of 628 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: bun looking things that increase uh. Yeah, you'd feed to 629 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: a Pokemon to increase the chance of a Pokemon winning 630 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 1: a battle. They're made of berries and come in sweet 631 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: and sour flavors, and Lord help me. There is a 632 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: formula involved, um which is L equals sixty capital B 633 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 1: over T minus parentheses lowercase B plus S, where capital 634 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: B is the base level, T is the time taken 635 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: in seconds, the lower case V is the number of burns, 636 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: and S is the number of spills guaranteed to boost 637 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 1: a Pokemon and at least one of five categories Yes, tough, beauty, cool, smart, 638 00:46:54,280 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: and keep math formulas.

It's 657 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: popular in Galaur, which is yeah, essentially the UK. Yeah. 658 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: And you can make it by combining different berries and 659 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: also other ingredients, um, like a sausages, different types of 660 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: tinned foods, um, bread, pasta, mixed mushrooms, smoked poke, a tail, 661 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 1: large leaks, brittle bones, instant noodles. Um. So you you choose, 662 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: you choose your berries, you choose your base ingredient, which 663 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: is one of these, and then and then there are 664 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: three steps. You you fan the flames, you fan the 665 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: cooking flames, you give the pot a good stirring, and 666 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 1: then you put your heart into it. Those are those 667 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 1: are the three steps. Um. And yes, there's a curry 668 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: dex to help you figure out what types of curry 669 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: you make. Uh, and and they'll wind up yeah, like 670 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: bitter sour, sweeter word or whatever. So you can get 671 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: like a bitter coconut curry or a spicy toast curry. 672 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 1: And yes, that smoked poke atail is definitely slow poke tail. 673 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: And you can definitely make slow poke tail curry and 674 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: then feed it to your slow poke. So yeah, it's 675 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: messed up. Heart agree, that's best six sad World apparently, 676 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is like, I'm such a when 677 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: you have those game to have the moral choice that 678 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 1: you have to make, I can't like even if it's 679 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 1: a video game. I'm like, never will I step on 680 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 1: this flower or whatever, And my my brothers were always like, 681 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop that flower out. Um, it feels like 682 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: this slow pokee thing of one of those. Yeah, but 683 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: let's end it on a less darkness. Yes, let's and 684 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: talk about Pikachu's Ketchup. Apparently Pikachu is a huge Catchup 685 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: fan I'm catch up Catchup and has cried actual tears 686 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 1: when Ketchup is taken from him. As a fellow fan, 687 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,240 Speaker 1: I was about to say, I love this because Annie, 688 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: I feel like you can probably relate. I can, I 689 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever cried when someone took my 690 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 1: ketchup away, but I doubt they would even dare do 691 00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: such a thing. In two thousand, Hines even release a 692 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: limited edition catch up bottle that featured Pikachu on it. 693 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: That's yeah, so you know you're synonymous with the food, 694 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 1: Like that's if I ever get my face or something 695 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: that's like the equivalent, that would be beautiful one day, 696 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 1: one day. Yeah, I just gotta follow in Pikachu's footsteps, 697 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 1: even though I'm traumatized by his battle cry. Oh well, 698 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 1: this has been a weird, wacky, wild, but very fun adventure. 699 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. I I just I just feel increasingly 700 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 1: tripped out by all of this, Like none of this 701 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:46,800 Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel tripped Yeah. Yeah, there were things 702 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: I was saying out loud and my brain was like, 703 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: are you sure that's a sentence Like I think it is. 704 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a sentence that makes sense. Yeah, and 705 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: I am positive that there is stuff that we Again, 706 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 1: as we both said at the top, you know, like 707 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 1: neither of us are like poke a experts. Um uh. 708 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: We might have mispronounced things or missed your favorite things 709 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 1: or or something like that. So if we did that, 710 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: then please do right in and let us know. But 711 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,319 Speaker 1: in the meanwhile, we do have some listener mail for you. 712 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 1: We do, and I tripped us up with the ad 713 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: breaks today, so we're going right into it. We are, 714 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: But but do you want to do? You have prepared 715 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 1: a Oh, it's obvious. It's obvious, Lauren. Here we go. Okay, well, 716 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: so it is time for listen. Man. I think that's 717 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a hard one. I wasn't going to try 718 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: to find I was like, oh, I know what's coming, 719 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 1: but with the lag in our internet connection, I'm never 720 00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 1: going to be able to Yeah. Anyway, thank you Anny, 721 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: Thank you Lauren. It was a whole like move with you. 722 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: Oh my huh. Lisa wrote as someone who grew up 723 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I've always loved Pennsylvania Dutch food, 724 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: but I now live in Washington State, where I can 725 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: rarely get it. So I did want to mention that, 726 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: in my opinion, scrapple is best enjoyed with syrup. So 727 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 1: if and when you ladies try it, don't forget it. Also, 728 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: the main reason I emailed today was your Saffron episode. 729 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 1: I've always associated saffron with saffron rice. But another food 730 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: I always had growing up was chicken corn soup, which 731 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: my mom made and it was the best. I tried 732 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: to make it on my own one time and it 733 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 1: was awful. I later found out that the key to 734 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: a good chicken corn soup is saffron. Also, if you 735 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,359 Speaker 1: ladies ever do a Pennsylvania Dutch food episode, definitely look 736 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: into the debate of dumplings versus no dumplings in your 737 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: chicken corn soup. It is a big matter of debate 738 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 1: in the area. I love of a dumpling debate, and 739 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: I am no doubts that it is. I've never heard 740 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,680 Speaker 1: of chicken corn soup, but it sounds good to me. Yeah, 741 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure what particular type that is. Um. 742 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: I've had soups that had both chicken and corn in them, 743 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 1: but but it wasn't tasted chicken corn soup. I don't know. Yeah, 744 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 1: we'll have to get to the bottom of it. We shall. 745 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: Joe wrote, I was so delighted to listen to your 746 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 1: Haggas episode, especially when you mentioned Burns Knight. It reminded 747 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 1: me of graduate school at Durham University in the UK 748 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 1: and My favorite college formal was enough College represent Burns Night. 749 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,280 Speaker 1: There were bagpipes and recitations of Robert Burns poetry, of course, 750 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: and speeches like a toast to the Laddies and the Lasses, 751 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,840 Speaker 1: in which there was much gentle roasting of the opposite sex. 752 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: All toasts were done with whiskey or iron brew. The 753 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: whiskey was very strong, and as an American, I rather 754 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: expected the iron brew to taste like orange soda. Spoiler alert, 755 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: it did not. Was even Kaylee after the dinner. Kaylee 756 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: has a traditional dance and music which has often been 757 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: compared to a fight as much as a dance can confirm. 758 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: There's lots of swinging circles and flinging your partner to 759 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 1: the next person. It's so much fun and a great 760 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: way to burn off all the calories from the dinner 761 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: onto the food. Because it was a formal, we had 762 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: the usual soup course, main course, and dessert course. Since 763 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 1: it was Burns Night, we had an additional haggist course 764 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: in between the soup and the main It was the 765 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: first time I've ever had haggists, so I was excited 766 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: but also full of trepidation. I was so pleasantly surprised, 767 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,959 Speaker 1: no weird texture at all, and full of spices, which 768 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,360 Speaker 1: is not something you got during a formal dinner at 769 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: UNI in the UK. It was so good, in fact, 770 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 1: that I was tempted to ask for another serving of 771 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,359 Speaker 1: haggis rather than endure the roast beef main course, which 772 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: was dry and uninspired in comparison. After that, I made 773 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 1: it a point to try haggas whenever I could. There 774 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,840 Speaker 1: was a pub in Edinburgh where I had it prepared 775 00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,479 Speaker 1: like scrapple crisp on the outside and practical eat melt 776 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: in your mouth in the center. Delicious. Oh that sounds 777 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 1: like such a good time, right, All of that sounds amazing, Yes, yes, 778 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: food so good. We've got to get to one of 779 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: these celebrations. Lord, we genuinely do. That is right. There's 780 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: poetry and toasting and haggis, bagpipes, come on, dancing, dancing, 781 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: aggressive dancing. That's the only kind of good at excellent 782 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: right in Thanks so much to both of those listeners 783 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,399 Speaker 1: for writing.
