Luke Loves Pokémon (a Forumite Podcast)

So, it's looking like I might be able to get a separate guest opinion for most of the Eeveelutions, which would be cool. Don't suppose we have any big fans of Leafeon or Jolteon all up in here?

Can you get Jay to read out bits like that everytime? There's something relaxing about hearing a Scotsman recite tales of olde.

If I can shoehorn in cryptozoology and historical stories, I will, but alas it doesn't always make sense . . .

Jolteon is the worst designed evolution. All it had going for it was its eclectic movepool in Gen. 1, what with Double Kick and Pin Missile.

Jay didn't listen to the end, then

I did! I stick podcasts on in the car and my aux system has an unfortunate side effect of still playing audio files if I turn off the car engine but keep my phone plugged in, so I probably missed that snippet being included as a side effect of that issue. Very good, though.

I'll get a Patreon set up to read you pre-1900s literature, if you'd like.

You've got a whole thread for disgusting opinions like this, don't bring it on here.

Eevee.
Lots of forumites on this one!

I'll be back for 778

Oh dear - that Japanese Umbreon name is unfortunate.

Disappointed not to finally hear Shanks' voice, but otherwise that's a corking episode! Good to know that everyone agrees with me about Jolteon as well. (Some of those Pokédex entries were cute though.)

I do have two more recordings... just need to get around to sending them.

I've heard Shanks' voice. We played Fortnite together.

Unfortunately that would require me to play Fortnite.

That's not me being snobby about Fortnite by the way - it's just an MMOSMU (massively multiplayer online shoot-em-up) and I enjoy neither TLA.

Porygon

I learned a lot making this one- I hope it's a fun listen.

Worst one yet.

I've been meaning to send in some more recorded answers, but time is tight at the moment - especially when I spend hours on here mucking about. Sorry boss.

When they make a cricket pokemon, there will be an episode you can appreciate.

Surely the British-themed game was their best opportunity? Instead we got one sport-related line and that was footie.

(crosses fingers for Australia-based game)

I love me some Aussie Rules

Cricket will be on the generation based on the Virgin Islands

Can't wait for the plot thread about how Team Rocket sets up operations there so they don't have to pay any tax.

I think the Yakuza are actually pretty above board with their tax- they're basically an arm of the government.

Controversial opinion: Greedent isn't that cute. It feels like someone who didn't understand the concept of 'cute' was told to make a squirrel cute and was given a picture of a freckled kid to base that on. The freckles and the Disney-esque eyes make it a bit creepy for me.

I'll try and get ahead of the game going forward, but it'll take us a small while to get to Gen. 8 monsters I care for.

I found out after the episode went live that its actually Andys fave gen 8 pokemon. I wish hed been on the ep now

...the heck's with that Andrewman?

A combination of me getting ill, the podcast going bi-weekly and in advance and both of us sometimes forgetting about it...

Ah no, that's understandable. What I meant was, why do you like that hellbeast so much? Completely un-understandable.

at the final bit of today’s. As much for the music as for the message. I’d love a new Star Fox for Switch...
