What is Another Pokémon Podcast?

It’s super effective! | Another Pokémon Podcast is a show wherein we talk about all things regarding the Pokémon series!

Becs:

Welcome to another episode of Another Pokemon Podcast. My name is Becs.

Galutrad:

And my name is Galutrad.

Becs:

And today, we're gonna be talking about grass pokies.

Galutrad:

Grass type Pokemon. Oh. The original 3 that everyone knows are grass, water, and fire. You happen to be wearing pajama pants of a certain type.

Becs:

Well, I was going to talk about how elegant we are in this episode because we're going down to the garden, and we're going to talk about our grass Pokemon. But, yeah, I'm wearing pajama pants. There's no elegance here. It was a long day, and I was like, I'm not gonna wear real clothes to record. I'm gonna wear pajama pants.

Galutrad:

But they're grass type Pokemon.

Becs:

And they are. They are themed kind of on purpose because of the Pokemon part, kind of on accident because of the grass part. They are grass Pokemon. They have 4 different grass starters.

Galutrad:

Yeah. They've got Bulbasaur and Grookey.

Becs:

Chikorita and 5 then.

Galutrad:

Turtwig Yeah.

Becs:

I don't like that one. And Bulbasaur. Did we mention Bulbasaur?

Galutrad:

Oh, no. That's 4. I can't count. I hope I put the right amount of Pokemon for this episode because we're doing grass types as we've been saying, and we're doing our top ten. We've each brought 5.

Becs:

There's 5.

Galutrad:

There is 5?

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

Okay. Wait. Is there?

Becs:

Yeah. There's 5. Oh. Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Grookey, Turtwig, Sprigatito.

Galutrad:

Yeah. There is 5.

Becs:

Yeah. You may be questioning my sanity. It's okay. I was questioning my own sanity as well. They left off my boy Snivy.

Becs:

That was hurtful. They left my boy Trico.

Galutrad:

About Snivy. Trego is is cool.

Becs:

You literally don't like Trego.

Galutrad:

I don't like either of

Becs:

them. You don't like either of them.

Galutrad:

We we were talking about

Becs:

it Spoiler alerts. Before the episode will not be on Gauthrad's list.

Galutrad:

We were talking about this before the episode, but I have never picked a grass type starter until brilliant diamond and shining pearl because I streamed those games, and chat decided my starter. Yeah. I

Becs:

was gonna say your followers chose it for you.

Galutrad:

Yeah. They they that was the only time I've ever picked a grass type starter Pokemon.

Becs:

But you are missing out.

Galutrad:

I am. I am. But yeah. So you've had a rough day. I'm sorry to hear that.

Galutrad:

No. But I hope that we're

Becs:

It's so much better now because we're talking about Pokemon. Absolutely. It's so much better than my day job. Before we jump in, we got our very first little batch of listener feedback Yay. To go through, which is really exciting.

Becs:

So the way that this will work is every episode before we jump into the actual subject matter, we'll go through, any messages that well, we'll probably have to pace it out a little bit, but we'll go through messages that we got on our social media pages, maybe some direct messages that we get from friends, and, any reviews that we get that have a little bit of, like, feedback in them.

Galutrad:

Yeah. And the the best way to provide us feedback for us is the best way to be helpful and and support the show is through those Apple Podcast reviews.

Becs:

Right.

Galutrad:

You can message us on Instagram or TikTok at at another pkmnpod and also leave a 5 star review on Spotify.

Becs:

If you're inclined.

Galutrad:

But, yeah, definitely those best way is those Apple podcast reviews just because that helps gets the show out to more people.

Becs:

Yeah. So one of our very first 5 star reviews, yay. Exciting. Is from a username_9 d n o v I x. So 9dnovix, maybe

Galutrad:

I think that's it.

Becs:

Left us a a message, and it says, Gayutrodon and Becks have great back and forth banter, thank you, as they revisit some of the best memories millennials have with Pokemon. I loved listening to how it impacted their lives and brought them together with heart so true. Looking forward to catching them all on the future installments of another Pokemon podcast. Yeah. I saw your Pokemon pun their 9 d Novix, and I love it.

Becs:

So thank you so much. We really appreciate that 5 star review and the beautiful feedback you left us.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Thank you so much. We also got another 5 star review. Yay. This time on Apple Podcasts from Thomas.

Galutrad:

They say, this was a fun listen. I spit my coffee giggling more than once. Y'all have great chemistry. You should date or something. I don't know.

Galutrad:

Excited for the next episode.

Becs:

No. Thank you. Oh, okay. We're just platonic friends.

Galutrad:

No. Yeah. We are actually dating. We are actually together. But it's not it's it's cool that we have chemistry enough to do a show together because sometimes you can be great partners, but not great work partners.

Becs:

Yeah. I can't imagine, like, I don't know, my my my grandparents doing a doing a podcast together well. They're kind of the strong silent type. But yeah. No.

Becs:

It's it is good to hear that we that we have that on the air chemistry that make this show what it is, magical. Absolutely. We are magical.

Galutrad:

So thank you so much, Janene Thomas. We also received a comment on x from Aaron Domingos who I think this is in reference to our gym leader

Becs:

Yeah. Episode. You wanted to, kind of

Galutrad:

get ahead because I know we were recording some in advance. So I secretly tweeted about some some questions about gym leaders, and Aaron responded with, I think about Olympia a lot for some reason, and she happens to be from x and y. And then the eyes emoji, the ones that are, like, looking at you. So thank you so much, Aaron, for that that comment on x.

Becs:

And let me see for you. Cool. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Loomby is super cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For

Becs:

sure. And last but not least, of course, is, one of my very best friends, Chris, in the UK.

Galutrad:

Our first international listener.

Becs:

Right. Our we we have a we have UK presence, in our audience.

Galutrad:

So that's

Becs:

that's great. And he kinda picked at us at first. He said, Larry and Norman. Really? Because he was making fun of us for being basic.

Becs:

But then he gave us his top five list, which include I'm gonna start least to to greatest, kinda like what we did. So his number 5 was Jasmine, which I think you also Had. Yep. Picked Jasmine. Yep.

Becs:

Number 4 was Milo, which was a great pick. Number 3 is Clement or Claymont. Number 2 is Alisa. Thank you for finally being on my side. And his number one pick of all time is Viola.

Galutrad:

Viola. Yeah. Oh, Viola's great.

Becs:

Great list. He also had 2 honorable mentions because birds of a feather, they do tend to flock together or or pidgeys of a feather rather. And he mentioned, Iona and Crest as his honorable mentions, which I I I think those are valid. And I I agree that we are we were pretty we were pretty basic with some of our choices, but we stand by them. And that's what makes this podcast so wonderful is we all have opinions.

Galutrad:

Absolutely.

Becs:

And they're all valid.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

Yeah. So thank you, Chris, for the for the support my entire life, but also currently. Thank you for supporting Gallutride and I on this journey.

Galutrad:

Absolutely. So thank you so much. And if you want to leave us listener feedback, you can leave it at our socials, which are on Instagram and Twitter at another pkmnpod.

Becs:

That's p as in Pikachu, k as in Kangaskhan, m as in Mareep, and n as in naughtoo.

Galutrad:

Yeah. And so yeah. Again, another pkmn pod. Thank you so much for tuning in, and we hope you continue to enjoy the episodes that we put out here for you.

Becs:

Don't mind me while I Google every Pokemon that starts with a p, a k, an m, or an n.

Galutrad:

But yeah. So we're gonna get into grass types. I don't know if you knew this or not. I'm gonna I'm gonna do a little explaining here.

Becs:

Nerd has begun.

Galutrad:

Nerd. So grass is obviously one of the 3 basic elemental types along with fire and water, which constitutes the 3 starter Pokemon. Easiest to explain.

Becs:

Did you just ask me if I don't know what the first three Pokemon types of every Pokemon game are.

Galutrad:

Yes. I did. I did. But I know that

Becs:

you know. Lord.

Galutrad:

I know that you know that it is.

Becs:

I'm kidding.

Galutrad:

So grass, fire, and water create the simple triangle which explains type concepts to, like, new players, especially younger players. It's really easy to understand that grass is weak to fire. It's Pokemon community of of Pokemon getting away from that typing for the starters because there are some other instances of that that I I wanna say it's fighting, psychic, and dark, maybe that could also kind of offer that triangle.

Becs:

So I'm sorry to interrupt. Is the debate that they like, people want something new?

Galutrad:

Yeah. People are kinda tired of Uh-uh.

Becs:

Down vote.

Galutrad:

People are kinda tired. And it's and, you know, it might be because of the group that I

Becs:

Stop changing my Pokemon games.

Galutrad:

It might be because of the group that I find myself in

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

For being on the

Becs:

Internet. Data nerds.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Yeah. But it, you know, it's it is it is pretty it is really easy to understand, grass, fire, water. Grass is also one of the weakest types statistically. Hurtful.

Becs:

Go ahead.

Galutrad:

It's got 5 defensive weaknesses and 7 types that are just resistant to grass type moves. Yeah. It's only strong against water, ground, and rock, but it's weak against

Becs:

Is it strong against rock

Galutrad:

too? It's strong against rock.

Becs:

For some reason, I was like, I always think, oh, yeah. This is good against this because it'll rock and then it isn't.

Galutrad:

I maybe flying? Because I always have that thought too, but flying also might be. I honestly I one day, I wanna do an episode on types and really do

Becs:

5 types

Galutrad:

because I we I after after 28 years of playing Pokemon or as long as Pokemon's been out, we should know the type chart pretty well,

Becs:

but don't. To be to be fair, I I this is not a good example because we were just talking about grass, but, like, they keep adding types. So it's like, how am I supposed to keep up with this?

Galutrad:

That's true. There have been there have been new types.

Becs:

Yeah. Or Pokemon that change types, like, that can be complicated. Yeah. Yep. Totally.

Galutrad:

So furthermore, though To be fair. To continue to be fair, to continue how weak grass typically can be, on top of that, if you want your grass type that's already weak to 5 other types, you can make them even weaker by pairing them up with grass and psychic, grass and ice, or grass and dark, and they now are weak to 7 of the type of Pokemon out there.

Becs:

I'll make sure we're doing a favorite grass Pokemon episode? Because it kinda sounds like you don't actually like

Galutrad:

I so I actually do have a very soft spot for the grass type book for grass type book.

Becs:

What's your favorite one? Just getting done with it.

Galutrad:

We'll get to it. That's spoilers.

Becs:

And then Some of the spoilers.

Galutrad:

Some fun data that I under uncovered while doing research for this episode. There are a 146 grass type Pokemon

Becs:

Okay.

Galutrad:

Of the I wanna say 1,000 and

Becs:

Oh, wow.

Galutrad:

7s and something. So a 10th of them are grass type Pokemon. 47 of which are just grass. 47 of the 146 are mono grass type. That's all they have.

Galutrad:

They don't have any other type with it.

Becs:

Oh, wow.

Galutrad:

Making the other 99, obviously, dual. They typed with something else, and there are 62 grass type moves, which something that I thought was interesting or that we might go into at a later date is after gen 3, there was a split. So in generations 1 to 3, and this is getting really technical, so I'm sorry if I'm boring anybody out there, but this is the stuff that I love.

Becs:

To 10 minutes. I'm just kidding.

Galutrad:

About Pokemon. So after gen 3, moves got categorized, and all grass type moves before gen 3 were special types. So even if you had a grass Pokemon that had a higher physical attack, it couldn't really make good use of its grass moves because all grass moves were considered special attack moves.

Becs:

And this is a part of the podcast where it goes way over Bexhead. It's well and, you know, we we've talked about this. We

Galutrad:

We love Pokemon for different, like, reasons

Becs:

for this. For super different reasons, but we I mean, we really love gaming for very different reasons. That's true. I you like, for a good example is, like, you love to watch speedrunning.

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

I have zero interest in speedrunning. I have zero interest in speedrunning myself and zero interest in watching others speedrunning, but I can I can appreciate where you enjoy it? But I will say you you did not on purpose get me into, watching competitive Pokemon.

Galutrad:

I did. I did when we, when we were in Hawaii of all places.

Becs:

We were in Hawaii, and then really when we when we when we came home

Galutrad:

That's true. Because I was recovering from surgery.

Becs:

Right. And and I you you were like, that's what I wanna watch. And I was like, well, you're sick, so you win. You get to watch whatever you want. And I was watching, and I like, at first, I was like, okay.

Becs:

Whatever. I'll just do something else. And then I started watching. I was like, oh, hey. That's not fair.

Becs:

He can't do that. And you were like, what you doing over there? You watching you watching the competition? Yeah. It was cool.

Becs:

Yeah. So it's interesting. I just I don't I'm not sure I'll ever I don't think I will ever be the data nerd on this podcast, for sure. I just it's not something that I love data. I love math, but I don't like I like Pokemon for the the fun, like like like I don't know how anyone is like this other than me, but I like Pokemon for the plot.

Becs:

Is that a perfect way

Galutrad:

to say? I think so. I think that's I think that's pertinent to

Becs:

some of that. Catch them all factor. Like, I'm just, like, such a I I'm like, no. I need all of the things.

Galutrad:

You like collecting all of your Pokemon and putting them on the shelf and going, you stay there.

Becs:

You are so cute. You just you We gonna evolve you to complete that Pokedex. I said, you just stay here.

Galutrad:

No. That's funny that you should bring up being getting interested in competitive Pokemon through that time that I was recovering from surgery because so I'm all that to say, yes, grass type statistically, numbers wise, have a lot of weaknesses, but they're also incredibly useful competitively because pretty much every type has something situational to their type that they're resistant to, like poison types can't be poisoned. Mhmm. Grass types are immune to all powder and spore moves. So moves like cotton spore, leech seed, poison powder, rage powder, sleep powder, stun spore.

Becs:

Yeah. All of all of the

Galutrad:

And anything That's cool. Yeah. They just cannot be hit by them. So, like, a common a common

Becs:

Because they don't they don't breathe.

Galutrad:

Exactly.

Becs:

They photo photosynthesis.

Galutrad:

Yeah. It's super cool.

Becs:

See? Okay. Okay. I can get involved

Galutrad:

with that. A common tech a common Pokemon that you see in competitive is Amoonguss, Amoonguss.

Becs:

Amoonguss?

Galutrad:

And because he is has the move spore, which and he's also very defensively bulky. There's a lot of reason for it. But specifically because he has And he looks like

Becs:

a Poke Ball.

Galutrad:

He does look like a Poke Ball. He has spore and rage powder, but he also can't be affected spore one of those moves, and then they'll just switch their Pokemon, and it'll be completely nullified.

Becs:

So is really cool.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Just super neat. And then finally, one last little bit is the

Becs:

Well, wait. I I do have a question. So are they also like, do people, like, grasp Pokemon on their teams competitively because they have healing moves most of the time?

Galutrad:

That's one thing is there's a lot of, like like I know fairies

Becs:

are are killers too. Right?

Galutrad:

Yes. It because, like, oh, god. I wish I could remember the name, but there's there's a move that involves the moon and draining kiss and things like that on fairy type Pokemon. But then, like, yeah, like, often, you'll see

Becs:

Moonbeam moon Moonblast or Boombeam or something like that?

Galutrad:

Yeah. I think so.

Becs:

Could be mixed up with Sailor Moon?

Galutrad:

Very possible. Also, what or what you'll usually see is there's not often although recently with, with who's the what's the name of the mask ogre Pokemon? Oger. Ogerpawn. Yes.

Galutrad:

People will use it as a grass type sometimes and as a sweeper,

Becs:

which is They what? They double up on

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

His other types, his mask. Right?

Galutrad:

Yes. Yeah. So it'll be a pure grass type, and it'll be a sweeper. But often grass Pokemon are used as defensive Pokemon because they despite the fact that they are weak type wise to a lot of types, they usually are pretty bulky. They have a lot like Venusaur is a great example.

Becs:

Tank. Yeah.

Galutrad:

It's a tank. And then one final little thing that I thought was cool is just to bring up the notable grass trainers in the Pokemon series. So, obviously, I bet you can name the first one.

Becs:

Erica. Erica

Galutrad:

from the, the Celadon City gym leader.

Becs:

He's my favorite.

Galutrad:

There's also She's not

Becs:

my favorite.

Galutrad:

Gardenia, who is the Eterna City gym leader from generation 4. Cylon, who is one of the 3 brothers in generation 5. Yeah. Yeah. He uses pansage

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

And semisage. Ramos from generation 6, Mallow, the trial captain.

Becs:

I remember Mallow because he has no nose.

Galutrad:

That's Milo, but that's in he was also a nose. Now

Becs:

sidekick. On.

Galutrad:

No. There's there's Milo from generation 8, and then Mallow is the green she was in Sun and Moon. She's the green haired

Becs:

Yes. Girl. Mallow.

Galutrad:

Yes. Yep. Finally, most recently, there's Bracias who is in Scarlet and Violet. He's that guy that has, like, a thorn whip motif.

Becs:

I'm gonna take your word for it. I feel like I've blocked that game out of my head.

Galutrad:

It's very possible.

Becs:

Which makes no sense because I did love it. I just I can't remember a single trainer from that right now except

Galutrad:

for my boy,

Becs:

Larry.

Galutrad:

Larry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, let's get into our favorite grass type Pokemon, though.

Galutrad:

We're gonna start like usual. We'll do start at our kind of ranking. We we each brought 5 to the table, so we'll have 10 total.

Becs:

If you if you listen to our gym leader podcast, it's gonna be a similar setup where we're gonna start with our least favorite favorite and make our way up to our top favorite Pokemon.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Exactly. So do you wanna go first, or would you like, okay.

Becs:

I would love to since you have talked for the last I have I have talked

Galutrad:

for the last I'm sorry. I'm just I love I love data.

Becs:

I'm kidding. Okay. My least favorite favorite grass Pokemon is drum roll, please. I was like, how are you gonna drum roll? I actually I made I gave you a challenge.

Becs:

It's Phantom. Oh,

Galutrad:

Phantom. That's a great

Becs:

choice. Tricos. Yeah. And I specifically I don't know why. I past Becca was very specific.

Becs:

Past Becca said she wanted a shiny fantup.

Galutrad:

Shiny fantup is gorgeous.

Becs:

It is very cool. I'm just like, come on, pass Becca. Let's not be picky. Okay? Shining hunting is hard.

Becs:

No. I I really like fantup. I mean, you know well, you all may not know, but you know Me. Diadrad. Yes.

Galutrad:

Your fellow podcasting partner.

Becs:

That I I do love me some spooky horror

Galutrad:

Yes. Vibes. Horror fan here.

Becs:

And Phantom just he fits he fits that bill for sure. Oh my gosh. Especially, what is Phantom evolves into Trevenant.

Galutrad:

Trevenant.

Becs:

Trevenant. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That guy is terrifying. But Phantom is, like, he's just a little spooky.

Becs:

You know what I mean?

Galutrad:

He's a little spooky. He's a little baby spook.

Becs:

I love that he's a small boy. I don't know why Phantom is definitely a boy in my head. He's a small boy.

Galutrad:

By the way, I I will I will I do wanna say because I've done it a little bit here too. Sorry to interrupt. But if we call a Pokemon a gender that you don't have as the gender of the Pokemon in your head, that's totally like, we respect that, and we're not saying that the Pokemon is

Becs:

a certain gender.

Galutrad:

Just kidding. It I because I totally and I I have this conversation with my chat a lot when I'm playing Pokemon games. It's, like, for me, when I look like a like a like a Jolteon, Jolteon is always a boy in my head, but then, like, Flareon is always a girl in my head. And so these are just kind of our headcanon genders if we do use a gender. But

Becs:

Well, you know you know because I my favorite Pokemon we talked about this on episode 0. My favorite Pokemon is Espeon.

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

I will I will I will catch 35 little boy Eevees, and they are the cutest things ever. But until I get my girl Espeon

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

It's on. I'm

Galutrad:

with my I just wanted to mention real quick that if we No. Yeah. We can't what y'all's genders head canon is, that's fine. We respect y'all.

Becs:

But Phantom is a small boy. Yes. O I.

Galutrad:

I can agree with that.

Becs:

Tiny boy. And tiny boy evolves into the scariest Pokemon I've ever seen in my entire life, Trevenant. So I love that. I love that. And I the last time I played Violet, I actually was shiny hunting Phantom Oh.

Becs:

In that little forest area that has, like, the I think there's, like, autumn leaves and, like Okay.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking

Becs:

about. And it has, that really scary goblin looking fairy Pokemon Oh. I think is in that area.

Galutrad:

Yes. It I I wanna say impadimp is the evolved or unevolved form. Grim snarl. Mhmm. Grim snarl.

Becs:

Grim snarl. Yep.

Galutrad:

And Kinda freak freaky looking.

Becs:

But Phantom is so cute.

Galutrad:

Phantom is very cute.

Becs:

And he he kinda reminds me of, I was thinking about this. I just realized this while I was taking my notes. He kind of reminds me of Alastair, the the gym trainer gym leader. Oh, yeah. The ghost with, like, his, like, mask and, like, his eyes are cute, but they're, like, kinda, like, almost haunted.

Galutrad:

You know that the Pokedex entry for Phantom talks about and some of them talks about how I think some kids go into the woods and get lost, kind of like Zelda lost woods situation.

Becs:

Okay. Spoiler alert.

Galutrad:

Oh, sorry.

Becs:

I was my last bullet under phantom, because I'm a Zelda girlie, is big Lost Woods energy with Phantom. Lost. Yeah. Totally.

Galutrad:

I'm so sorry for swearing.

Becs:

No. No. No. You're, I'm kidding. You can spoil.

Becs:

But the yeah. I very much well, I'm I'm glad you agree, though, because it it definitely has some lost with energy. And I and maybe maybe I feel that because of be just because of the vibe of it. Like, just because he is a tree. I don't know.

Becs:

That's not very it's pretty on the nose, I guess. But, also, like, I'm I'm sure I read that Pokedex entry when I was doing my research, and I was like, oh, yeah. Lost Woods for sure.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Yeah. No. I I see that for sure.

Becs:

That's it. That's why I love Phantom.

Galutrad:

That's I mean, that's a great least favorite favorite pick.

Becs:

I know. I had a to our to our listeners, I had the hardest time narrowing down because I I love grass Pokemon. I adore them. I've picked them multiple times for my starter. I I don't think it's my favorite typing ever.

Becs:

I think my favorite typing is probably water. Yeah. But, like, I really do love grass Pokemon. I think there's just something really pleasant and beautiful and calming about them.

Galutrad:

And That's interesting, though, that you have so many

Becs:

Like, gravitate towards them. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Because I don't. I did know like, when we mentioned this episode, I did research, but I knew almost immediately who my top five were.

Becs:

I didn't. I have we're gonna we are going to what did I say? Rapid fire? Fire honorable mentions. Rapid fire these honorable mentions because you guys don't need to you all don't need to know

Galutrad:

The other 140 Correct. Yeah. Other graphs.

Becs:

I don't have that many, but I I mean, I do have I I have at least, I think 12 on here, honorable mentions throughout the fire at the end. So Wow.

Galutrad:

Okay. It

Becs:

was hard to narrow it down for me.

Galutrad:

That's okay.

Becs:

Especially my number 5. I was, like, number 1 I think number 1 was easy. Number 2 was easy. Number 3, I think, was easy. Although, I can't remember now what I picked.

Becs:

Yeah. But, like,

Galutrad:

they were all easy for me. But that makes sense that you wouldn't remember what you'd pick because there's so many that you like that you Right. Got. It kinda just depends on what day it is.

Becs:

I'll know when I flip this page over.

Galutrad:

So my number 5

Becs:

Yeah. Tell me. Tell me.

Galutrad:

Is actually Weepinbell, which

Becs:

What in the world?

Galutrad:

So okay. So, again, I don't pick grass type Pokemon to start with. In Pokemon red and blue and yellow, a grass type is a good Pokemon type to have, and I loved James and Victreebel and Weepinbell

Becs:

and stuff.

Galutrad:

I thought that so because I played red, and you can't get Weepinbell in red. You get it in blue.

Becs:

Oh, yeah. Because you can't get you don't get Bellsprout.

Galutrad:

But I had a friend who was willing to trade me a Bellsprout so that I could have a weeping bell. And then I I didn't really ever figure out the whole stone thing, so it, like, it just stayed a weeping bell for me. And I love it. It looks so doofy. It's such, like, it's

Becs:

Wait. What do you do to evolve weeping bells? Is it a leaf stone?

Galutrad:

A leaf stone. Yeah.

Becs:

They had leaf stones in that early on?

Galutrad:

I believe so.

Becs:

It wasn't a trade to evolve?

Galutrad:

I do not think so. I could be wrong. I didn't show that for me on my notes when I

Becs:

was in the military. They definitely had leak. You're right. Okay. They definitely well, you may not be right about Weebenbelle.

Becs:

They definitely had leaf stones in the early games, and I should know that, and that's all I'm gonna say.

Galutrad:

Okay. So yeah. Leaf and Leaf and Bell. Leaf and Bell. Weep and Bell, number 70 on the national dex, grass poison type.

Galutrad:

It is the flycatcher Pokemon.

Becs:

It's something.

Galutrad:

I think it's adorable. It looks like a little bell. There's this great card art that it's just, like, flat and sad. Like, it's so it's such a funny Pokemon. I think Weepinbell is adorable.

Becs:

Car like, Pokemon card? Like, training

Galutrad:

training card? Pokemon card.

Becs:

It's like Art. Card art? Like Yeah.

Galutrad:

Hallmark card? Yeah. There's you can go buy a Hallmark card right now at your local Hallmark.

Becs:

Would be pretty cute. I'm not gonna lie.

Galutrad:

Yeah. I just I just think Weepinbell's really adorable. I think it's I think it's an interesting one. And it's like, you know, what are your choices in red and blue and yellow? You have Bulbasaur, Ivosaur, Venusaur.

Galutrad:

You have the Bulbasaur line, which obviously I didn't take, then you you can You have the Bulbasaur line, which obviously I didn't take. Then you you can have Oddish and Gloom and Vipeline. They're great. Love them. But they're, you know, they're kinda they're pretty standard.

Galutrad:

A lot of people have them. Okay. And so I just I've had a soft spot for the Weepinbell line.

Becs:

Very cool. What? Oh, nothing. Anyway

Galutrad:

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with with liking them. I'm just saying that I personally have a soft spot

Becs:

Please note that guy you try to make everybody that likes Bulbasaur No. Ivysaur. Oh. Bemisaur?

Galutrad:

No. From the red, blue, and yellow or I'm sorry. The red, blue, and y Pokedex, It spits out poison powder to immobilize the enemies and then finishes it off with a spray of acid. I I think the Pokedex entries are really cool.

Becs:

That you have chosen violence. I think that's what you have chosen with this pig.

Galutrad:

And from Pokemon Yellow's Pokedex, when hungry, it swallows anything that moves. Oh my god. It's hapless prey is melted inside by strong acids. And I just think that's so, like, what a doofy looking Pokemon, but it just it I mean, it's it's a plant. Right?

Galutrad:

Like, it's it's a carnivorous plant, basically.

Becs:

I watched. I'll have to find it when we go to our break Yeah. And come back and and and tell everyone where they can watch it too if if they're interested. I watched the coolest YouTube video when I was, like, brainstorming for this podcast, and it was it was or this episode, I should say. And it was, like, categorizing all grass Pokemon as, like, plants, animals

Galutrad:

Oh.

Becs:

Other. Like, it was very it was very well done and very cool, and it was pretty recent. So I think it was all of them. Mhmm. I really enjoyed it.

Becs:

I actually I listened to a couple of his this user's episodes

Galutrad:

Okay. And thought

Becs:

it was really cool. I'll I'll drop it after the break.

Galutrad:

Yeah. For sure. We would definitely drop that name after

Becs:

the break. He needs credit because he inspired a lot of work. Me to what I what I wanted to pick.

Galutrad:

But, yeah, weeping bell. I I love it. I think it's cool. I think victory bell is is cool too, but I just have a soft spot for weeping bell.

Becs:

Oh, I that was a whole other thing. I was like, do I pick this?

Galutrad:

Because it's not gonna be it

Becs:

is better, but it's like, no. Sometimes it's not better.

Galutrad:

In fact, there might be one on mine specifically for its not final evolution.

Becs:

Well, speaking of final evolutions Oh. Can I oh, is it my turn? Yeah. Okay. My second least favorite favorite grass Pokemon is the elegant, beautiful Lilligant.

Galutrad:

Oh.

Becs:

Lilligant.

Galutrad:

Lilligant.

Becs:

I'm a say Lilligant.

Galutrad:

Lilligant. Lilligant.

Becs:

As you know, I have been a little obsessed with Bridgerton lately

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

As the latest season did just drop. And I also read 2 of the books so far.

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

The I I like the show better for anyone that cares. This is not a book talk podcast, though. It is very it makes sense. It's very much my type. She is a bridgerton lady as a Pokemon.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

A 1000%. She's very elegant, very, like, proper.

Galutrad:

In the name.

Becs:

Right. I really love I really love Petalil.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

I feel like Petalil has, like, some kinda oddish vibes to it.

Galutrad:

A little bit. I can see it. Yeah. I can see it.

Becs:

I was pleasantly surprised when it evolved into this majestic looking Pokemon, Lilligant.

Galutrad:

Can I ask you, what did you think of the Pokemon Legends Arceus?

Becs:

No. No. I have a note on here.

Galutrad:

Okay.

Becs:

It's not as bad as decidueye. Decidueye, they did they did they did my boy dirty in decidueye.

Galutrad:

So dirty for decidueye.

Becs:

But I still prefer I prefer the over the Hesuian Lilegett any day. I I just it's not it's not bad. I just it's just it kind of made

Galutrad:

There's more legs.

Becs:

There's yes. There is more legs. But it made it made a Pokemon that I think looks interesting and and pretty. It made it it made it kinda boring.

Galutrad:

Yeah. I thought

Becs:

It took away her it took away a little against charm. It took away her little hat, I think. It took away the dress, like the voluptuous beautiful dress.

Galutrad:

They took a, like, prim and proper member of the high court and turned them into a ballroom

Becs:

A peasant. Ballerina dancer. Oh, a ballerina. A peasant. No.

Becs:

I just no. I just I I I just prefer the Yeah. The little the little lady like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Becs:

That's really it. I I am not I'm not gonna come here with a bunch of facts with this I just like what I like.

Galutrad:

Well, I will take that then as my opportunity to

Becs:

Oh.

Galutrad:

Talk about my next Pokemon.

Becs:

Is it a proper lady?

Galutrad:

No. It's Torterra, the evolved form of the only grass type Pokemon that I've ever started with. And the only reason it has a spot in my heart for grass type favorites is because of the fact that it shares a special place with my community because it was named chat. In fact, I have a sitting cutie plush of Torterra, specifically, that I bought during the 24 hour, stream that I did of brilliant diamond and shining pearl in honor of chat. And its name is is and always will be chat because that's what we call it.

Galutrad:

It's a grass ground type, national dex number 389. It's known as the continent Pokemon because like it says in a lot of its Pokedex entries, small Pokemon occasionally gather on its unmoving back to begin building their nests. Some Pokemon are born on Torterra's back and spend their entire life there, and that's really interesting. I remember specifically, I think based off of the Pokedex entries alone, the most accurate depiction of Torterra is from detective Pikachu. Do you remember that?

Becs:

That's watched detective Pikachu?

Galutrad:

We're gonna have to watch

Becs:

detective Pikachu.

Galutrad:

That it's such a good movie.

Becs:

It looks so scary. No.

Galutrad:

It's good. It's good. But there's so there's this bit in detective

Becs:

Pikachu. Mister mime.

Galutrad:

Mister mime is actually terrifying. But there's this bit in detective Pikachu where the gang is all kinda running away from something. I don't wanna spoil anything in case other people out there haven't watched it, and you see the ground itself starts to move, and the camera, like, zooms out, and it's torres. It's like they're massive.

Becs:

Massive. That's like that's very that's very on that's very on brand too, because it's like I I feel like there's, like, a legend of, like, a, like, a, like, a, like, a turtle, like, a, like, an, a, like, a, like, a, like, a mythological legend of a turtle that that is, like

Galutrad:

The the world turtle. Yeah. That's, yeah, that's literally that's what Torterra is kind of designed after is the world turtle.

Becs:

It always makes me think I because I'm not an original person. It almost makes me it always makes me think of a never ending story too

Galutrad:

Yeah. Where the I can see that.

Becs:

The big turtle that kinda lifts himself up, and then there's a Majora's Mask.

Galutrad:

There is. Turtles. I mean, that that Character? That legend, the that myth is is

Becs:

It really it's inspired a lot of things. Culture.

Galutrad:

It totally. And and it makes sense. It's such a cool concept to think like, wow. We're all actually just on the back of this turtle that's floating in your space.

Becs:

You heard it here first. That's this is what we believe.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

Subscribe.

Galutrad:

Subscribe. Subscribe. Something that I wanted to also point out is because this is the final evolution for any of you stat nerds out there. Torterra's base stats are 525, which is a very good it's a very good stat base total for a final evolution Pokemon, so also not a bad choice. Me me me me.

Galutrad:

And I'll and I'll stop there.

Becs:

But Oh. Oh. Oh. Sorry.

Galutrad:

You can go ahead and give your number 3.

Becs:

My number 3 Poke one is, you will never have guessed this in a 1000000 years, Decidueye.

Galutrad:

Oh, actually, that wasn't that wasn't, that wasn't where I was going in my head to CGI.

Becs:

Yeah. We just talked about how I'm a Zelda girly. Yes. That's that's a lot of this. The end.

Becs:

End end of end of tweet.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

It makes sense. I'm a

Galutrad:

It makes a lot of sense.

Becs:

Zelda loving, fantasy book nerd, girly pop, and I love me some deciduous. He he literally looks like like a like a Robin Hood character.

Galutrad:

He does look like a

Becs:

Robin Hood character. He looks like he just dropped out of a dystopian novel into our lives to rescue us.

Galutrad:

That yeah. I could I could see that.

Becs:

I love him. He's perfect.

Galutrad:

Also, Rowlett does have a bow tie, and no one can tell me I

Becs:

love him. He does have a bow tie. No. I'm not gonna argue that about that. I think he does, and he is he is seriously one of the cutest starters.

Galutrad:

He is one of the

Becs:

cutest starters. I had because I I don't know why now. I don't know if they kept it a secret when it was dropping or not, but I did not know sun and moon's final evolutions.

Galutrad:

I wanna say that was kept pretty under wraps. I could be wrong, but I feel like that was it was either them or x and y's that were notoriously, like, everyone was upset or not upset, but they were like, wow. They've actually not told us what the final evolutions are.

Becs:

For those of you that don't know, I really enjoy playing Pokemon games with someone. Like, I like to play, I'll get one game, they get the other game, or that kind of thing. And since I met Gaucho Rad, we've definitely balanced each other in that way so we can make sure we catch them all. Yep. And so we can get any exclusives of the games and and trade together and all that stuff.

Becs:

Before Yeah. You Try it came into my life. I used to do that with my best friend, Chris. And, well, we still we still very much play Pokemon with Chris. He's always But

Galutrad:

he He's always included in our we have literally have a chat a chat group called

Becs:

Pokemon. Yeah. And he he he moved he moved across the world, so we don't play Pokemon as much anymore in person, but we both got sun and moon. I got moon. He got sun.

Becs:

And he picked Rowlet, and I was like, well, I don't know what I wanna do, but I don't wanna pick the same starter as you. So I'm gonna pick Popplio, which is

Galutrad:

Really?

Becs:

I don't I've now I I couldn't tell you why because I love cats. You would think I would've picked Litten.

Galutrad:

I would've thought immediately Litten.

Becs:

But I didn't. I I was like, I need this seal in my life. It's unique. I don't know.

Galutrad:

It is unique.

Becs:

It is definitely unique. And I do like the final evolution of Popplio. Actually, all of the final evolutions of Sun, New Moon

Galutrad:

are pretty cool.

Becs:

They're all good. But if I had known what Rowlet became, I would have probably just picked it anyway and been, like, too bad, so sad. We will figure out how to get the other starters later.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

I love him so much. And I was so excited when Legends Arceus came out because I was like, oh, I get to pick Rowlet, and then we did see the final evolutions. I was like, absolutely not. No. No.

Becs:

No. No. So I ended up not picking Rowlet in the game.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

But I did pick it in our in our recent replay of it or where we started playing sun and moon in in Hawaii. Yeah. I did pick Rowlet because he's adorable.

Galutrad:

So fun fact, because you'd mentioned that part of the reason that you like it is you're a Zelda girly. I don't even remember when or why I started this, but I started making everybody in my phone everyone's contact in my phone is a Pokemon. Right. Usually, if if they have if I know that they love Pokemon and they have a favorite, I will try to assign the favorite to them. I do not allow people to have the same Pokemon.

Galutrad:

Yep. But if there's a Pokemon that I think just fits somebody's personality or fits, like,

Becs:

what they should be If they don't know Yeah. Pokemon. Yeah.

Galutrad:

I will I will assign one for them. And David of AZP, another Zelda podcast, is decidueye in my phone.

Becs:

So fitting.

Galutrad:

I thought that was super fitting.

Becs:

A Sui and decidueye? Decidua.

Galutrad:

No. He's regular decidua. Because it's also it's not fully linked. I think maybe since Breath of the Wild because of the hood that you can get the Hylian hood. Still fits.

Galutrad:

Little bit, but it's not really linked, but he just fits that kind

Becs:

of thing. That energy, though. The, like, Robin Hood, like, energy, and I like, the the archery part is so cool. Like

Galutrad:

Absolutely. Yeah.

Becs:

He's just an all around balanced Pokemon. I I did notice, though, I had 2 like like, I I really I really am digging the grass ghost Yeah. Typing together. I don't I don't know why. That's a It's a good time.

Becs:

Combination. Yeah. But yeah.

Galutrad:

That's that's that is interesting.

Becs:

What's your what's your number 3?

Galutrad:

So my number 3 is a recent Pokemon from the newest games. There is a Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet that I saw and I fell in love with immediately, and then it evolved, and I hated it so much. It is capsakid

Becs:

Oh, I was wrong.

Galutrad:

Which she would for those of you who, which is all of you that can't see her. She was mouthing small.

Becs:

Can see me to me. If you could just let me know how, I'm gonna file a police report

Galutrad:

real quick. So Capsukid is the spicy pepper Pokemon. It's National Dex's number 921.

Becs:

Pictures of your Pokemon?

Galutrad:

I do have pictures.

Becs:

See this

Galutrad:

So Capsukid is it's this little

Becs:

We fought about this guy.

Galutrad:

Do, but I love him. He's this adorable little green guy with, like, a it looks like a little egg. I think it's supposed to be the top of a pepper, but it looks like a little egg hat on, and he's got a little beak. And he's just so cute, and I was just,

Becs:

like Scares me a lot.

Galutrad:

Was like, oh, look at this little man. I love him to death. And he's so cute, and I love spicy food, so it's so on brand for me. And then he evolves into Scovillean, which is a dumb it keeps in line with the pepper. It's it's a green pepper and a red

Becs:

pepper in the middle

Galutrad:

of the day. Scale. So it's

Becs:

cool. It's a capsulation is capsilien. Yeah. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Yes. So it the I get it. The the theming fits perfectly. I hate the design of Scoville.

Becs:

Sometimes And

Galutrad:

I love cats the kids so much. I was ready for him to become, like, a little pepper wielding knight, and he it failed me, but I refused to let catsikid die.

Becs:

Dear Pokemon designer, if you can hear us, you don't have to be on the nose sometimes. You could.

Galutrad:

It didn't have to be a Pokemon with 2 heads that were literally shaved in

Becs:

the bell peppers. You could experiment a little some of these newer let we're not even gonna ever talk about Trubbish. Like, we don't always have to literally turn something into a Pokemon? We could just use our imaginations.

Galutrad:

Indeed. But I love

Becs:

But I love you, and please keep doing your good work. Thank you so much.

Galutrad:

Capsaicade capsaicade is so cute.

Becs:

No. That is he I do not agree that he

Galutrad:

is cute. You you thought he was terrified. And he's so little too. He's like he's like a little itty bitty guy.

Becs:

You know how when produce starts to wilt? That's what this little dude embodies, and I do not think, rotting wilted peppers are cute for some reason.

Galutrad:

His Scarlet dex entry is the more sunlight this Pokemon bathes in, the more spicy chemicals are produced

Becs:

The more water he can oh, sorry.

Galutrad:

And thus, the spicier its moves become. And it's violet entry, which I thought this was interesting. It's violet entry says traditional Paldean dishes can be extremely spicy because they include the shed front teeth of capsaicin among their ingredients.

Becs:

You just made it so much worse than it already was.

Galutrad:

I know. I thought that was so I thought it was interesting, but in, like, a gross it's its teeth. It's not even like it's it it's literally its teeth.

Becs:

Stop. What? For just a second. I'm about to call you

Galutrad:

out.

Becs:

Everyone that's listening oh, it's funny. This is the the result of this, everything makes sense. This your host that you're listening to completely fangirling over this pepper Pokemon right now is a Delicious and Dungeons fan. Oh. And suddenly, it all makes sense.

Galutrad:

No. I don't like the fact that its teeth are used as ingredients.

Becs:

But you do. I think you're I think you're, who is the character that we both really like that

Galutrad:

Senshi?

Becs:

Your Senshi is showing. You know what I'm saying? It's showing a little bit.

Galutrad:

I do like Delicious and Dungeon a lot, but that's not why I love capsaicin before.

Becs:

Terrifying Pokedex. That makes that makes Mimikyu look adorable. That's awful.

Galutrad:

Does it? It's just that its teeth are used as ingredients.

Becs:

Driftfloon, adorable. Mimikyu, adorable.

Galutrad:

You're a weirdo. But yeah. So caps a kid.

Becs:

Parasect, adorable.

Galutrad:

I love him. I hate his his evolved form is not good, and I wish

Becs:

We hate it. Listen. Another t k m n pod hates

Galutrad:

Stop. If I ever participate in a little cup competition, I will be getting Capsugid on my team because I love Capsugid. It's great. So we now only have 2 Pokemon left.

Becs:

Time to take a b b b break. Break.

Galutrad:

So we're gonna take a break, and when we come back, we will introduce our top 2 for both of us.

Becs:

Welcome back. Before we get back into our grass type Pokemon, I did want to mention or I did wanna call out the video that I mentioned earlier, where we were talking about every grass Pokemon being explained and, like, kinda types, animals, plants, that kinda thing.

Galutrad:

What they would be inspired by and such.

Becs:

Right. Or no. What they would be would be. What they would be categorized. If you're interested in watching that video, it is called every grass type Pokemon explained, and it's by Lockston and Noggin.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Lockstin Noggin is a great channel for stuff like that. I actually when you were talking about it, I'd thought about him, but I didn't bring it up because I, you know, I wanted to make sure to give

Becs:

credit where credit is due. No.

Galutrad:

No. I wanted to make sure to give credit where credit is due, and I wouldn't wanna, like if it wasn't him and it was, like, some new person that I I had no idea existed, I wanted to

Becs:

Because you weren't sure.

Galutrad:

Because I wasn't sure. That's right. Yeah. Lockstin and Noggin does amazing stuff. I think he's actually even making his own Pokemon style style game, like, monster catching monster.

Galutrad:

I'm pretty sure. I don't know where it's at in development, but I I'm pretty sure he's pretty far. If if not, it's been a while since I've watched his stuff, so he might be done with it already. But I know for a fact that he was at one point making his own Pokemon esque game or Pokemon

Becs:

inspired game. Yeah. Digimon. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Yeah. I've heard of it. Yu Gi Oh.

Becs:

Yeah. Yu Gi Oh. Yeah. Yu Gi Oh.

Galutrad:

Yeah. While you're sharing that lovely fact with us about where that video came from, why don't you share your number 2

Becs:

No. Thank you.

Galutrad:

Pressed on Shikoku Mon.

Becs:

I'm done for the day. You've heard all of my book on that I like. Just kidding. So remember earlier how

Galutrad:

you said

Becs:

how you said that a certain original 150 Pokemon trio was okay. They're alright.

Galutrad:

You were.

Becs:

I don't know if I don't know if the listeners caught on that I was a little salty to hear

Galutrad:

such news. Part where I said that anyone who likes via Plume shouldn't be a fan of Pokemon. Right? Like, that part?

Becs:

When did you say that? No. I I was I was a little salty, as you know. I do love Erika.

Galutrad:

You do love Erika.

Becs:

And therefore, of course, I love Oddish, Gloom, and Vyloplume, and Vyloplume is one of my favorite Pokemon, not just grass Pokemon, my favorite Pokemon of all time. Were you about to say it's mid?

Galutrad:

No. It's a lovely Pokemon. I I said that Vileplume was good. I just It's

Becs:

certainly better than Weepin' Bell. Alright. 1st, poll of the podcast. Cast your votes. Weeping Bell or Viola Plume.

Galutrad:

Go I will make sure that when this episode airs, there will be a poll on

Becs:

Weeping Bell or Viola Plume?

Galutrad:

Specs of Weep and Bell are viola bloom. Should we do Go vote.

Becs:

We make it fair and say Weep and Bell are gloom? No. Yeah. Okay. Hold on.

Becs:

Pause your train of thought for a sec. Bring I invite you back to listen to just me only. What if we did what if we did a poll of the trios? Like, do you like the Bellsprout trio, or do you like the obvious trio better? Sprout one.

Becs:

And I know that there is a Bellossom. We're gonna put something. Bellossom doesn't exist for this. We're looking at the 1 50 Pokemon. We are old on this podcast.

Galutrad:

That's a good idea. So, yeah, right now on twitter slash x

Becs:

Yes. Old isn't great.

Galutrad:

Go to another p k m pod and vote in the poll. Do you like the Bellsprout line, or do you like the Oddish line?

Becs:

Or The correct answer is the Oddish line. And I would like to point out that is only number 5 on your list, and is number 2 for me. So I can say it.

Galutrad:

Means you have worse good news.

Becs:

Alright. Anyway, into why I like Vileplume. I did already mention Erica. That's why. I I just it may there's just something nostalgic about Violet actually, I actually do for once.

Becs:

I think I have a lot to say about

Galutrad:

a Pokemon. Save for all of us.

Becs:

We were talking about this on our break. I was like, Gallutrads, like, I love this Pokemon. These are all these amazing cool facts about this Pokemon. I'm like, I like this Pokemon. It's pretty.

Becs:

The end.

Galutrad:

And sometimes that's all you need. But you've been bringing a lot of really cool information about each of the Pokemon.

Becs:

And a lot a lot of really cool opinions that are just wide it's an opinion episode. No. I it's just it there's something nostalgic about Vileplume. Like, I just immediately I'm like, oh, yes. This is I am Vileplume is is is is so makes me immediately I'm, like, 8 years old again.

Becs:

I'm either 8 years old watching Pokemon. I'm 8 years years old playing on my Game Boy. Like, it's just very

Galutrad:

nostalgic

Becs:

for me. Yeah. I also just the trio itself speaking of the trio, trio itself, I I'm just I'm fascinated by it. It's like Oddish is so cute and little little weed, and then it becomes a stinky kinda weird sad Pokemon Gloom, and then it blooms into a vial of bloom. And I love her.

Becs:

She is a tank.

Galutrad:

Yes.

Becs:

But she's she's so she's massive. Like, I was cracking up when I was playing, let's go Pikachu or let's go Eevee. Mhmm. And I've I you know, you can let your Pokemon follow you in that game. And I let Violet plume out, and Violet plume was so big and slow, and I would, like, run.

Becs:

And Violet was like, oh, god. Gotta keep

Galutrad:

Floppy too. Like, the Yeah.

Becs:

The little the little flower part. Flower part

Galutrad:

would flop around. It was cute.

Becs:

Do you wanna know when I first really loved Violet Plume? Because it's actually not because of the anime.

Galutrad:

Yes. Because that

Becs:

because the because I don't think Vyla Plume I don't think vile I saw Vyla Plume in the anime because I think Erica just had gloom.

Galutrad:

Vyla but Viola Plume makes an appearance, I think. Not but it's not featured. Gloom is definitely the featured. Yeah. But I think there's, like, walking around in the gym.

Becs:

The first time that I fell in love with was actually Pokemon Snap.

Galutrad:

Okay.

Becs:

Yeah. The puzzle Mhmm. The puzzle in Pokemon Snap where you have to get Vileplume. So you can see Vileplume. There's I forget what the track is called.

Becs:

It might be called river or something like that. They're they're

Galutrad:

the river one.

Becs:

They all have pretty basic names.

Galutrad:

Jungle forest river.

Becs:

When you're going by, you can see like, if you know Pokemon, you know it it is a Valel Clem because you can see, like, her the top of the flower. Yes. And you can see, like, the not smoke, but, like, like

Galutrad:

I I wanna say it's like a almost

Becs:

a gas. Gas of some kind?

Galutrad:

Yeah. I always thought it was, like, sleep powder being cast.

Becs:

It might be. It might be. And it and it's like it's like oh, wait. Because it's it's a green. It's got, like, a green color.

Becs:

Isn't it like a like a foggy green color? I

Galutrad:

can't remember the color.

Becs:

Well, anyway, there's something coming out. And so you can see it, and you can tell it's definitely it's definitely a Pokemon. You know, you're pretty sure it's Vileplume. But you can't see Vileplume's face or anything. But when you get the Poke Flute

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

You can wake up Vileboom, and she dances. Oh. She does her little dancey dance. It is really cute.

Galutrad:

That is cute.

Becs:

And then this is kind of a an interesting reason, but my mom's favorite Pokemon is Blossom.

Galutrad:

Yeah. She's Blossom in my contact.

Becs:

And I love that you can I love that you can evolve Gloom into to either of those and that my mom's favorite is, like, a sister Pokemon to one of my favorite Pokemon? Yeah. I think that's really cool.

Galutrad:

That is really neat. You have, like, a special connection there.

Becs:

Yeah. So that is all of the reasons that I like Vileplume that have nothing to do with Vileplume bits. It's

Galutrad:

no. I It's everything to do with Vileplume itself.

Becs:

And she's just she's just so it's such a it's just such a a comfort Pokemon

Galutrad:

Yeah. Honestly. I get that. Totally. Well, that's that's so cute.

Galutrad:

That's such a great number 2. Yeah. That makes me really interested to know what your number 1 is because I probably would have if

Becs:

I will be so disappointed in you if you don't

Galutrad:

know what it is. Maybe there's another option, but

Becs:

Oh?

Galutrad:

But I would've Viola Plume would've been up there Yeah. For sure. I'm not surprised that it's number 2, but I I do like, it's that's a great number to pick.

Becs:

What is your

Galutrad:

My number 2

Becs:

favorite is almost

Galutrad:

named 2. Thorn. So ferrothorn, and I'll spend my

Becs:

You're picking some wild. Oh.

Galutrad:

Ferrothorn is kind of a weird Pokemon. It's basically like a big steel disc

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

That has spikes all over it, and it has vines with, like, seed pods that attach its it uses to attach itself to to, like, ceilings and stuff. And it even talks about that in the Pokedex entry in Pokemon Black. It says it fights by swinging around its 3 spiky feelers. A hit from these steel spikes can reduce a boulder to rubble. Mhmm.

Galutrad:

Ferrothorn has a special place in my heart because Ferrothorn was on my team, my first ever team. Weirdly, it it came out in Pokemon black and white, or it was it was a Pokemon in black and white. Mhmm. But I found it in y, x and y, and I used Ferrothorn on my first ever trying to be make a competitive Pokemon team. Like, I really liked their Ferrothorn's design.

Becs:

I wonder where that was going. I'm like, your first what?

Galutrad:

Because that was Yeah. Yeah. My first ever Pokemon team ever. Yeah. I've this has all been a lie.

Galutrad:

I only got into Pokemon since Pokemon x and y. But, no, I just I really liked Ferrothorn and and its its pre evolution Ferroseed a lot, and I was determined to have it on my team competitively. I had no idea. I was just getting into competitive Pokemon in x and y. Competitive Pokemon started in black and white, like, got really, really going because that's when they first had the ability to do online tournaments Right.

Galutrad:

Online battles. So I I, yeah, I just I I had a very soft spot in my heart for Ferrothorn, and I wanted to make it work. And I think it's such a it's such a cool like, to me, Ferrothorn embodies that idea of, like, grass type Pokemon that are tanks.

Becs:

Well, that's what I was gonna say. It it's almost like it reminds me of, Fortress.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Fortress is another another good

Becs:

good example. Like a grass metang.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Well and that would make a lot of sense because it's grass steel type. It's the thorn pod Pokemon.

Becs:

It's very cool looking.

Galutrad:

It is super cool looking. I yeah. I've got a I've got a sweet spot.

Becs:

It very tank.

Galutrad:

But yeah. So Ferrothorn, look it up if you if you maybe don't know because it is probably one of the lesser I don't see it getting a lot of love that often, and a lot of it won't bother me.

Becs:

You had to show it. Yeah. Once again, you had to show it to me because I was like, I don't know

Galutrad:

who that is. Ferrothorn. I I love Ferrothorn a lot. I think it's it's shiny. It's really cool.

Becs:

What's what's the what's the shiny?

Galutrad:

Now that I've said that, I kind of admittedly forgot, but I'm pretty sure it turns its spikes red. Like, the green part on its body, I'm pretty sure it turns red. But, yeah, I'm correct. And it's it's it's entire body turns yellow or gold, I guess, because it's kind of got a silver

Becs:

body. Yeah.

Galutrad:

And then the arms, the feelers on it turn red. And then

Becs:

I've noticed a lot of shiny Pokemon that are, grass kinda go the the red route.

Galutrad:

It will

Becs:

Like, almost like an autumn leaf

Galutrad:

or something. To say. I think that's probably a reason as to why that happens.

Becs:

Very cool.

Galutrad:

Yeah. So that's my number 2.

Becs:

I like it.

Galutrad:

Ferrothorn. And then

Becs:

Oh, no.

Galutrad:

What's your

Becs:

number 1? If you don't if you didn't know this, I'm gonna be sad. I think that people in my life that don't even like Pokemon no. This is my favorite grass Pokemon. I'm really worried because that one You should be.

Becs:

Favorite grass Pokemon. I'm really worried

Galutrad:

because that one should be. It's Chikorita.

Becs:

Oh, yes. Of course. Yeah. I I did know

Galutrad:

that. I'm sorry. It is Chikorita.

Becs:

I bet the one you're thinking of is all my honorable mentions.

Galutrad:

Well, yeah, because all the other Pokemon are honorable

Becs:

mentions. That's fair. No. Chikorita. Yeah.

Becs:

The the reason I love Pokemon at all. No. I it's the best starter, and I don't care what anyone says. She's the best starter. No.

Becs:

I know it's very it's a very simplistic design. I know that Meganium is a questionable final evolution. It looks like a long neck from the land before time, like dinosaur the long neck. Although, Meganium in the new Pokemon Snap

Galutrad:

is That's

Becs:

a beautiful yeah. So glowy Meganium? Yes. But no, I I know it's a very simplistic design. I know a lot of people when they think of grass starters, like, their favorite ones, like, they gravitate probably towards Bulbasaur, I would say, just because it's one of the original ones and every, like, if you love Bulbasaur, you love Bulbasaur with your whole chest.

Galutrad:

Mhmm.

Becs:

Like, that's one of those Pokemon. I don't necessarily see a lot of people loving but I I feel like I feel like she's she's got, like, a following. Like, I feel like people enjoy her too. And I have so much stuff that has Chikorita on it. I'm literally I'm wearing pants, obviously, that do.

Becs:

They have several Grassbook Ma on it. I have an irrigation planter

Galutrad:

You do?

Becs:

That's Chikorita. Chikorita is in my car.

Galutrad:

Chikorita is in your car.

Becs:

She's literally hanging from my rearview mirror.

Galutrad:

Yep.

Becs:

Yep. I have a little collectible thing where she's, like, planting in a garden. She's putting up the little archway that's in the garden. So, yeah, I just I really love Chikorita. Every time I see her, I have to on something, I have to buy it.

Becs:

I feel like Espeon's number 1. Chikorita may be number 2.

Galutrad:

I yeah. I could easily see that for you.

Becs:

I just I love her so much. But, yeah, she's my favorite starter book 1. I have a lot of love for gen 2, anyway. I have a lot of love for silver version.

Galutrad:

Mhmm.

Becs:

It's just that's it that's why. My friend my friend, Ally, actually is the one that gave me the little irrigator

Galutrad:

Yeah. Okay.

Becs:

Planter thing. I still need to put an actual leaf into it, but she's really cute.

Galutrad:

Oh, it comes out of its head? Mhmm. That is adorable.

Becs:

Oh, it's so cute. And she's kinda sitting on her on her on her butt like a like a like a dog.

Galutrad:

Like a dog. Yeah. Yeah. With its, like, front Mhmm. Paws out at the yeah.

Becs:

Yeah. She's really cute. I kind of because she or be because Chikorita is, like, kind of dinosaur ish, I I I kinda think maybe the reason I like it is because of because of because I'm a child of the nineties. Like, I we had Jurassic Park. We had Land Before Time.

Becs:

We have We're Back, the dinosaur Yeah. Movie. It's it may be because of that. I don't know if she always gravitated to her. I don't when I look at gen 2, I'm like, there's not even a question.

Becs:

Totodile, absolutely not. And Cyndaquil's cool, but I just I really love

Galutrad:

Chikrita. The thing about gen 2 because you had mentioned simplicity. And I think that gen 2's starters, they all evolve in a way that I think are looking at them makes sense. Like, I could see, and I'm sure somebody's gonna disagree with me on this, but I could see how on other starters, if you, like, showed a a great example is if you took Oshawott and Samurott and put them next to each other and said, are these 2 related? Somebody who knows nothing about Pokemon will probably be like, no.

Galutrad:

That's a seal and a otter because a Samurott

Becs:

kind of looks Yeah. That's true.

Galutrad:

And it makes sense when you, like, look at its detailed design. Mhmm. But then, like, Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil all look very much like as they evolve, they go through that, like, baby, teenager, adult.

Becs:

Yeah. Phase. Yeah.

Galutrad:

And I I think that the simplicity in,

Becs:

the 3rd is just I think that starts being lost a little bit in, like, gen 3, maybe a little bit, but

Galutrad:

definitely gen 4. Definitely gen 4. And and I think that there's a lot of beauty in in Chikorita's simplistic design of, like yeah. Because especially because, like, gen 1 was all about evolution, and and then gen 2 was about nature. Yeah.

Galutrad:

And I I think the Chikorita perfectly embodies the nature. Like, if you think of a grass dinosaur, it'd be chikorita.

Becs:

Also really liked I like I like how, like, its movement. I know that's kind of weird, but, like, when you're watching, like, the anime, for example, like, she kinda, like, swings her swings her head to, like, do her attack. So, like, when she does because

Galutrad:

That's yeah.

Becs:

She's she's pretty simplistic, but, like, her leaf is where her, like, power kinda comes from. Yeah. And which makes sense, like grass plants, that kind of thing. Whenever whenever chikorita uses razor leaf, she swings her head. And and Bayleaf does that too.

Becs:

I don't know if Meganium does that, but Meganium also has the the leaf goes away. The Meganium has the flower petals on its neck, and then they have more, like, feelers almost.

Galutrad:

I think Meganium's thing was, like, that her flowers, like, glow.

Becs:

Oh, they probably do. The new Pokemon Snap. When it when it showed the glow in Meganium, that's honestly what I was like, alright. Sold.

Galutrad:

Yep.

Becs:

Because it's just such a beautiful game, and the whole point of that game is

Galutrad:

Taking pictures.

Becs:

Invisibly appealing. Yeah. Totally. I it's like I said, it's it's very it's like kind of explaining, like, this is my kid. Why do you like your kid?

Becs:

I just do. But it's hard because it's it really is one of my favorite Pokemon ever. So it's hard to, like, say why it's my favorite grass Pokemon, but it it is. Yeah. It just is.

Galutrad:

Like, you could see Cheekorita, like, with its head stuck in the ground being a doofus, and you just look at it and go, I love that.

Becs:

Yep. That idiot. That's my idiot.

Galutrad:

That's my idiot.

Becs:

Right. Yeah. No. I I love it. Yeah.

Becs:

Aw. What's your what is your oh my gosh. Now I'm a little scared. What is what's your number one?

Galutrad:

My number one favorite grass type Pokemon is Sunflora.

Becs:

You are kidding.

Galutrad:

No. What's wrong? I love sunflora.

Becs:

There's nothing there's nothing wrong with it. I did maybe even in the video, I said told everyone to watch. It definitely said the most forgettable Pokemon ever. It may not have been that, but there was I definitely watched one because I watched a lot of grass Pokemon like stuff. For sure did not anticipate that to be your favorite.

Becs:

Yeah. Tell me but I now I'm intrigued, though. Tell me why.

Galutrad:

Sunflora, the sun Pokemon

Becs:

Feel like I don't know you at all.

Galutrad:

Introduced in generation 2 alongside Chicory.

Becs:

In the park. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Evolves from Sunkern with a sun stone Which

Becs:

is lots of sun going on. I like the sun turn.

Galutrad:

Sunkern's super cute. I just Sunflora is such a happy Pokemon.

Becs:

That's the Pokemon where it has its head in the dirt, and you're like, I love that.

Galutrad:

That is the Pokemon that has its head in the jar.

Becs:

Would be like doofus.

Galutrad:

I love that, doofus. It's just so happy, and it I don't know. Like, so daisies, lazy daisies, specifically, which are are a a type of daisy

Becs:

Oh, real flowers.

Galutrad:

Real flower. Talking real flowers.

Becs:

What's a lazy daisy Pokemon?

Galutrad:

Lazy daisies are my favorite type of flower. They are I forget what the scientific name is, but they are daisies that specifically daisies will always blossom in the morning and Mhmm. Like, go back to being a shell at night. Lazy daisies wait, and they they blossom more in, like, the late afternoon, which is why I'm

Becs:

Like me. Yeah. I'm a lazy daisy.

Galutrad:

And how you know why why we're together. Oh. But I just I don't know. I love talk again, talking about simplistic designs, and I know that sometimes Pokemon get, like, a bad rep for being the constant one that's always referenced is Trubbish or Vanilluxe Vanilluxe, the ice cream Oh,

Becs:

I actually don't hate that one, but I do hate Trubbish.

Galutrad:

I get that. Sunflora is just a sunflower. It's a sunflower with legs.

Becs:

No. It's so much more than just a sunflower.

Galutrad:

Really is so much more than just a sun flower. I love it. Its gold Pokedex entry says that it converts it's sorry. This is from gold leafgreen andheartgold. It converts sunlight into energy.

Galutrad:

In the darkness, after sunset, it closes its petals and becomes still. So it's like running around, having a good time, and then it's like, oh, nighttime, and then just bed. It, like, it just stops moving. Not dead. Bed.

Becs:

No. I heard you. Okay. It's like a flamingo.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Kinda. From crystal from crystal Pokemon crystal and Pokemon x, as the hot seasons approach, the petals on this Pokemon's face become more vivid and lively, which I think

Becs:

is cool.

Galutrad:

Like, it's it's literally

Becs:

It revolves around the sun.

Galutrad:

And it's sun hey. Yeah. There you go. It's I mean, it's a plant. It's a it's a sunflower that is a Pokemon.

Galutrad:

And I just its its face is so cute, and it's always and, like, that bit in so talking about Bracias from Scarlet and Violet, you might you might not remember him, but his gym challenge, you had to run around his town and find all the sunflora.

Becs:

Oh, I do remember that.

Galutrad:

Very much was, like, playing through that part, and I didn't turn that question for a little bit because I was just running around town with a bunch of sun flora following me, and I was like, oh, they're so cute because they're so

Becs:

You're a menace.

Galutrad:

Sunflora. I think they're I think they're adorable. But that's

Becs:

I I actually I I think the other thing I was thinking was when I was playing silver

Galutrad:

Mhmm.

Becs:

You know, and you're you're in the park, which I the park was so cool. Like, the bug catching competitions and stuff. And you'd

Galutrad:

go back on different days and

Becs:

But I was also excited when I found Sunkern because I was like, oh, a new a new Pokemon, and the sun stone was introduced

Galutrad:

Mhmm.

Becs:

In gen 2. So I was like, oh, a Pokemon. I can use something new to evolve it. And then I did. I was like, oh, wow.

Galutrad:

It's a sucker.

Becs:

Thanks, Pokemon. It is it is it's and I think it's the same the reason you love it is the reason I was like, okay.

Galutrad:

Forgettable. Like and

Becs:

it well, it's not even forgettable. I was just like, he's such a derp. He's so derpy looking, and I and I you that, again, that makes sense for you because you you love kinda goofy,

Galutrad:

like Weepinbell is my number 5. Yeah. Right.

Becs:

Yeah. Like and I and I'm like, no. Yeah. A pretty Pokebody except, I mean, Chicory is not pretty, I guess. But she's cute.

Galutrad:

She's cute.

Becs:

Right. She's adorable. Cutie. No. That's I would never have guessed I would have been upset if you didn't guess mine.

Becs:

I would never guess that in a 1000000 years. So I guess I guess my other question too is, like so Chikorita, I just said, like, my number 2 Pokemon, period.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

Is Sunflora, like, in your top 10 Pokemon?

Galutrad:

Oh, definite. I would say Sunflora is probably in my top 5 when we're talking specifically favorites.

Becs:

Okay.

Galutrad:

Yeah. I I I just really like sunflora a lot, and it's it's not what?

Becs:

You're such a ray of sunshine. That makes so

Galutrad:

much sense. I know. I'm a golden retriever. Yep. And we're speaking specifically on, like, favorites, not, like, what Pokemon would I make a team out of

Becs:

or anything. No. Just what you like.

Galutrad:

It's got a lot of weaknesses.

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

It it is not a great competitive Pokemon. It's At all. It's

Becs:

It's a flower.

Galutrad:

425 base stat Pokemon, which is pretty middle of the road.

Becs:

Yeah.

Galutrad:

So it's not great. I'm sure there's some way to make it competitive or

Becs:

at least some way to

Galutrad:

make it good for, like, playing through the game team, but I just like it.

Becs:

Is it just a grass Pokemon? Is it just grass type?

Galutrad:

Straight grass. Yeah. But, yeah, I just I just I think it I think it's very I think it's very cute.

Becs:

Alright.

Galutrad:

I if we if if Pokemon were real, I would definitely have a lot of sunflora. Like, if all if every single Pokemon was real, I would wanna live somewhere where there were a lot of sunfloras because I'd love to see them just, like, running around.

Becs:

We would live at different places. I'm just kidding. I would live on the beach. No. I think that's cute.

Becs:

Well, now that we've gotten to the root of the episode

Galutrad:

Oh my god. That was a great pun.

Becs:

Let's talk about some honorable mentions. So I am I'm truly I'm not gonna dwell on mine. I do have a couple of things to say about a couple of mine.

Galutrad:

Okay.

Becs:

I'm just gonna rapid fire through mine quickly.

Galutrad:

In that case, though, can I go first? Because I only have 1.

Becs:

No. Okay. Yeah. Go ahead.

Galutrad:

So my only honorable mention is

Becs:

Can't believe you only have one

Galutrad:

honorable mention. My only honorable mention is Celebi. Oh. Because I just like Celebi as a Pokemon. I think it's really neat.

Galutrad:

It's a great mythical Pokemon. The anime movie where Celebi takes ash back in time, I think.

Becs:

Oh, the forever. Pokemon forever. Yeah. Yeah. That's a very

Galutrad:

cute movie. Celebi's super cute. There's also a great event that was a Japanese only event up until they released the

Becs:

Pokemon on the

Galutrad:

d on the 3 d s

Becs:

Yep.

Galutrad:

Where you would learn more about Silver's backstory and Giovanni, and you would get an opportunity to catch Celebi. I just think Celebi is a really neat Pokemon. It's not neat enough that I would include it in my top five Mhmm. Or our top ten, but it's definitely an honorable mention for me. And I like that it it's

Becs:

the protector of the forest.

Galutrad:

It is.

Becs:

Like, that's a really cool thing, and that's that's very, like, Studio Ghibli

Galutrad:

Yeah. It'd

Becs:

be very much fun. Yeah. Which I'm sure is inspired by something else.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

But I I think I think that's cool too. Here's

Galutrad:

list of

Becs:

Here's my list.

Galutrad:

Every other grass Pokemon in the game.

Becs:

Pumpkaboo. That makes sense. Right? Because I and that's what I actually had a hard time picking between Pumpkaboo and Phantom, but I like Trevenant so much better than Gourgeist. Than Gourgeist.

Becs:

Yeah. I you the way you felt about

Galutrad:

Capsicans.

Becs:

Capsicans

Galutrad:

And it's evolution scovillean.

Becs:

Was how I felt about.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

I was so sad by it. It just I was like, why is this a squash? Yeah. It makes sense, but it didn't have to take it quite so literally. Lurantis, the the praying mantis Pokemon Yeah.

Becs:

Very, very pretty Pokemon. Morelle.

Galutrad:

Really? Yeah. Morelle? The, like, mushroom

Becs:

looking Like, the mystical kind of fairy mushroom.

Galutrad:

Not have guessed that as an honor to

Becs:

win for you. And I can't tell because it's it's like it's kinda like Amoonguss or something. But I can't tell if or Shroomish or any of the other mushroom Pokemon. Yeah. I can't tell if I like it because of what it is or because of, like The aesthetic.

Becs:

Like, the, like, kinda glow in the dark, almost jellyfish kind of coloring. I I think I just think it's really pretty. It looks very mythical. It's like it's like the Galarian ponytail. Same kinda coloring

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

Like, vibe.

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

The pastel, like, pretty vibe. I don't know. I just really like it. Serena, that was a hard one to leave off too.

Galutrad:

Yep. Yep. Yep. The only Pokemon I think no. I know that's wrong.

Galutrad:

Sorry. Evolves be with a move. It has to know its pre evolution has to know stomp in order to

Becs:

Yeah. That's definitely not unique to just that one. Yeah. There's a there's a couple Pokemon that are

Galutrad:

like that. Like that. For some reason, Serena always sticks out in my head.

Becs:

Maybe it maybe it's the only one that's a specific move because, like, Evie has to know a fairy move to be To be Sylvion. Sylvion. Yeah. I don't know. It's a good good call, though.

Becs:

Yeah. Specifically, Appleton.

Galutrad:

Okay.

Becs:

Don't care about any of the others.

Galutrad:

Really? The

Becs:

big the big apple pie.

Galutrad:

Not even Dipland?

Becs:

That was cute. Okay. No. He's cute, but I no. I apple is just fun.

Becs:

But, again, this is dinosaur

Galutrad:

Yeah.

Becs:

Thing, so that could be on the nose. Smallive is the one I thought you were gonna say. When you said because I felt this way about Smallive. When you said capsicum, you saw it, and you're like, yes. And then it evolved.

Becs:

You're like,

Galutrad:

no. Yeah.

Becs:

Small of was that for me.

Galutrad:

Yeah. Our Beliva stand. Again, it makes so much sense. It turns into an olive vine. Yep.

Galutrad:

But it's it's it doesn't it loses a lot of its cuteness Terrible. And charm.

Becs:

Don't like it.

Galutrad:

Because it's the middle evolution for that one, I don't remember its name, but it's

Becs:

Something teeny or something?

Galutrad:

But it's like a kind of like a little a little person almost Yeah. That's like a

Becs:

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Galutrad:

Yeah. But then cute. Arbelievo basically becomes an olive tree, which

Becs:

is just terrible. Yeah. Don't like it. Grass Kitty, Sprigatito

Galutrad:
