Geek Addicts - Episode 15: Pokemon Adventures Part 2: Gold/Silver/Crystal!

[00:00:00] The following is a lot of video games. I was mostly reading a certain manga we'll be talking about today, but also, uh, I just kind of tried to catch up on things. I've been doing a lot of podcasts this week, so I'm just kind of, that's partially why I've been up so late every freaking

[00:01:41] night this week. Cause I've been just doing a late go out of my way to look for deals and stuff. I know part two of season one of Spy Family is out. I just haven't seen it anywhere yet. It's probably just one of those things where like, you know, the stores just take a little bit to catch up. records. Where we get records. Let's go to Best Buy. Nothing. I don't even know if they had CDs. No, they've completely killed their CDs. That's wild. Wild. The only places you can get records these days are like a Newbury comics, which is extremely niche, like in terms of areas where you can buy those and market for whatever

[00:04:23] reason has a lot of vinyl. It's weird.

[00:04:25] Yeah, but it's like half of it's Taylor Swift.

[00:05:24] Which is funny because I do know a few of them in the podcasting community. I don't judge people who like Taylor Swift.

[00:05:31] I don't either.

[00:05:32] I just think it's funny.

[00:05:35] I don't have anything against Taylor Swift.

[00:05:37] I have more against her psychotic fans than anything.

[00:05:41] Yeah.

[00:05:42] Well, I don't know.

[00:05:43] One more thing on this subject anymore. I don't know. My work is super weird about like the ones that chooses to give us off. Like, I don't I'm pretty sure we brought

[00:07:00] it up on previous episodes. But yeah, Richards gave us way more

[00:07:04] days than than my current job does.

[00:08:06] Yeah, it's really interesting the way that it just kind of picks up where the last one left off. Like it really like transitions really well into it. It transitions pretty much kind of like the games do in a way.

[00:08:13] Although, more concise just because there's an going to go out of his way to, like, hurt people, but he also doesn't care what he has to do to accomplish his goal.

[00:09:41] I was, when I was reading it, I was like,

[00:09:43] kind of put off because I'm like,

[00:09:44] why is gold coming off as more of a dick

[00:09:47] than silver is in this manga? another red. Yeah, well, I mean, that's kind of how a lot of them go up until like more recent games. Yeah, it's interesting like that. Because like, that's why I think gold is such an interesting counterpart because he's like wildly different than his game game counterpart. Yeah, it's just, and I love that he's just like already has a bunch of Pokemon,

[00:11:01] like right from the start. Yeah, and he if you pick Chikorita to start the game, you're just doing it wrong because you're just going for hard mode at that point. Well, yeah, because the first gym is flying types and the second gym is bird types. Bird types, yeah. Yeah, you're gonna be in for a bad time. Yeah, it's like picking Charmander in the first game.

[00:12:22] Which everyone did.

[00:12:24] Yeah, oh yeah.

[00:12:25] I mean, it's not as bad as in yellow

[00:12:26] where you'd get Pikachu.

[00:13:30] volume. Which I don't I was trying to look into it. It looks like he had health issues. And she was forced to step down. Oh, really? Yeah, like she didn't really step down because

[00:13:36] she wanted to I think she was going, I mean, I don't know, personally, I didn't look to any research into it, but I feel like it was partially him trying to train transition it in a smooth way, like

[00:15:02] kind of trying to emulate Mattos art style, what the like, OK, need to share this one. Like the first major like in the last one, it was the amputation scene

[00:16:22] that was still like that one just fucking was like, what the fuck?

[00:16:26] Well, that one definitely really likes to draw. You'll understand when you read the if you read the mug, it's it's very noticeable. But then there was another scene later on where like gold supposedly goes to Pat green on the shoulder. But

[00:17:44] Pat's her butt instead. Yeah, he we get introduced to gold right away and gold's whole gimmick is

[00:19:01]
