SPEAKER_01

Yes, we would really appreciate any support. It's so helpful for a small podcast.

SPEAKER_03

Remember, every donation counts, so it doesn't matter how much you do.

SPEAKER_01

Or how little. Okay, let's get started with the episode. I'm sure all of you know what the very first Pokemon is. It's Bulbasaur, number 0001. It has 57 total cards. It's a grass poison type, is 2'4, and has a full set market value of $2,859. I actually have $38 worth of Bulbasaur. Just two random bulk cards and the and um and the first partner collection bulbasaur. Yes, I did pull it. So, Judah, do you would you keep this as a pet?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. Um, I'm going to ask you to answer first, and then I'm going to answer.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so it is a poison type. So it would probably like poison me or something. But I'm looking at like the Stellar Crown Bulbasaur. It's just kinda whoa, the Stellar Crown Bulbasaur actually would have a lot. Oh! The Bulbasaur's now the new most expensive card from Stellar Crown.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Wow, I didn't know that. But anyway, it's just kind of chilling on a shelf. And I feel like and I feel like I could take Bulbasaur. Yeah, I I I would keep Bulbasaur as a pack.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I don't think I would. Really? I mean, Bulbasaur is a poison type. Though that hump on his back, he just s every now and then just spews out spores. And yes, those spores make things grow, but I don't really want things to go in the house. I know Bulbasaur is cute and all, but technically speaking, about how I would be able to treat him, my I'm not very good at gardening, so I don't think I would take Bulbasaur.

SPEAKER_01

Uh interesting. So it's wow. I think that Bulbasaur is like a little bit on the edge. But okay, let's move on to Ivysaur. Number two, 43 cards. Grass poison type, 3-3, and has a full set mark value of $1,308. I no, I wouldn't keep Ivysaur as a pet. That that's pretty obvious.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Ivysaur's just too big.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. It's gonna be a lot of them is just gonna be like no.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Same thing with Venusaur, like it would be cool to have a Venusaur, but it's just way too big.

SPEAKER_03

Venusaur's massive. I actually Okay. So next we're gonna move on to Charmander.

SPEAKER_01

Whaaaaa! This is hard for me. This is very hard. Because, on one hand, he's a cute little fire lizard. And whoa, his 151 card just went up. His 151 card's $130. It's almost past the Venusaur. Imagine it's like the big three of 151, Charizard, Charizard, Blastoise, and Charmander. Anyway. Dang. That was just falling behind. It needs to be more than the Squirtle. The Squirtle went up so much. So yeah, Charmander. The I think the only thing that would that like is making me on the edge is just his tail.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no. I w I just wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do Charmander, Charmeleon, or Charizard. Charizard for obvious reasons, but look at their tail.

SPEAKER_01

I think I'm gonna I think I would. Yeah, Charmander would just like burn the house down. Charmale Charmeleon would burn the house down ever so slightly.

SPEAKER_03

Charmander would just breathe. And he'd burn the house down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Squirtle. I would keep Squirtle.

SPEAKER_03

I would keep Squirtle.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Squirtle's just like a little dude. Like maybe he'll get the house like a little wet, but like he's Squirtle. He's just cool. And keep in mind, this isn't like training the Pokemon. This is like a pet. So you like have relative control. Like you like you can tell them to like stop doing something, but you can't just tell them to go attack someone.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Would you keep War Turtle? I think I would.

SPEAKER_03

How wait, I'm gonna see how big War Turtle is.

SPEAKER_01

War Turtle is three feet.

SPEAKER_03

Three feet.

SPEAKER_01

I think there are dogs that are bigger than that.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think I would keep War Turtle.

SPEAKER_01

I would definitely keep War Turtle. He's just like a cute little dude. Now Blastoise on the other hand.

SPEAKER_03

Blastoise literally has guns on its back. I would get arrested for keeping Blastoise.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, next up, Caterpie. I would definitely I don't see any problem with it. It is a foot tall, but it's just a Oh yeah. Yeah, it's it's literally just a little slithery bug.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, the hard part would just be feeding it, because what does a caterpee eat?

SPEAKER_01

I feel like that's a Google question. Caterpie diet. Uh-huh. It's oh! Massive quantities of tree leaves and vegetation.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I could handle that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. No, no, I would completely keep caterpie.

SPEAKER_03

What about metapod?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't think I could I I think I could handle Metapod. The problem would just be like, why? Metapod's literally just like a shell. Does it even move?

SPEAKER_04

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna say like no. Like it might, like, I don't I don't I definitely think that I could handle it, but like, why? I have no reason to.

SPEAKER_03

What about Butterfree? I mean, I agree with you, but oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

What?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Three foot seven?

SPEAKER_03

Butterfree is three foot seven. Butterfree, also, if you read Butterfree's thing, every time she flaps her wings, she sends out a bunch of poisonous pollen. Yeah, which would kill anyone.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And it's just too big. Like and I'm and it's and it looks so fragile. I'm afraid I'll just like sit on it or something.

SPEAKER_03

Weedle, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, complete. Well, it does have like the you can't really pet it because it has like the big point on its head. But it's just like a cute little dude. I would definitely keep Weedle.

SPEAKER_02

I love Weedle.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Weed Weedle is pretty amazing.

SPEAKER_02

I mean he's Weedle.

SPEAKER_01

And well, katana, same thing as Metapod. Cocoona. Same thing as Metapod, it's just a cocoon. Like why?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I I'm sure I could keep it.

SPEAKER_03

I think no. No.

SPEAKER_01

No, Beach Earl's just a giant three-foot-tall wasp.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but its hands are stingers, and if you don't feed it, if you don't do exactly what it wants, it will stab you. And he's a bug and poison type. Yeah. Next is Pidgey.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think I could give Pidgey enough room.

SPEAKER_03

Pidgey's one foot tall.

SPEAKER_01

I know, but like it needs to fly around. I don't think I could give it enough room.

SPEAKER_03

I might be able to set something up outside and have like a perch for it where it gets food or like a bird nest and then just let it be itself.

SPEAKER_01

If it will like always return to me, then yes, I would keep it. But if it's but if it's just gonna like leave and fly away, then no. But okay, what what's the rule on that? Are they loyal to you? Will they return?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they're your pet.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Let's say, no, let's say by your pet. They're not your Pokemon, but you know, if you let if you dropped um Pikachu in the middle of nowhere, Pikachu would try to find you. Yeah. Let's say it's like that for all Pokemon.

SPEAKER_01

It's like a strong bond, but you can't just tell them to sick someone. Okay, so I would definitely keep Pidgeot.

SPEAKER_03

Sick them.

SPEAKER_01

Same thing with Pidgeotto and Pidgeot, because I don't need to keep them necessarily in the house.

SPEAKER_03

Pidgeot, but for Pikachu. And then there's a danger. Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but they're not a danger to other people.

SPEAKER_03

No, but they might be a danger to your eardrums every time Pidgeot flies at the time.

SPEAKER_01

Sonic booms? Okay, yeah, I I agree with you. I I would keep Pidgeot to open up Pidgeot.

SPEAKER_03

How would Pidgeot even land on your house? Okay, I would not take Rattata. Rattata's a rat.

SPEAKER_01

It I feel like you you'd have better luck taming the rats in the basement.

SPEAKER_03

It's a one-foot tall rat.

SPEAKER_01

And then Radicade, no, because it's literally just a two-foot tall rat.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like, oh, that's interesting. Radicade can swim. Did you know that?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Radicade can swim.

SPEAKER_03

He's kind of cursed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Okay, okay. Sphero. Same deal. I would keep him. He's cool.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but I'm just gonna have a giant perch with like 10 million different birds that I'm like, oh, I would keep that. I would keep that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. I've kept eight out of the 21 Pokemon that we've done so far.

SPEAKER_03

I've kept five.

SPEAKER_01

Well. Okay. Fearow.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

I wouldn't keep any Pokemon that has Fear in its name.

SPEAKER_03

No, yeah. Fearo looks is he looks cruel. He's four feet tall. And I'm pretty sure he can probably fly it at least Mach 1.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's a Pokemon.

unknown

Ekens?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

It's a snake.

SPEAKER_03

Ekens is a giant snake. It's a six-foot snake.

SPEAKER_01

Oh whoa. Pokemon that's six foot long. Not six feet.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Six feet long?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I know, I know. Same thing with Arbach. No.

SPEAKER_03

Arbach's even scarier.

SPEAKER_01

It doesn't live here, so no. But Pikachu?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. Actually, no, Theo, you go first.

SPEAKER_01

Well, here's my reasoning. If it was Ass's Pikachu, no, not in a million years. That thing's gonna electrocute the whole town. But if it's just a normal Pikachu, completely. It's just a little dude who can, like, I'm sure that he could harm someone a lot, but he's not gonna, because he's like, pet. He's just a cute little dude.

SPEAKER_02

He is really cute. He is really cute.

SPEAKER_03

He is a really cute little dude. I think. I would want to get like a smarter Pikachu, like a detective Pikachu, who can like think, because I think that the Pikachu would probably incinerate everything if it was like Ash's Pikachu. But it's not. So actually, you've convinced me. I think I will do Pikachu. I'll take him.

SPEAKER_01

Good, good.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Next is Raichu.

SPEAKER_01

No. Jinx. Judda Jda Juda. Rai Raichu's just like Pikachu's on the edge, Raichu's what pushes it over the edge. Like it's cool, I guess.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, so it just I mean, not really. It's not that cool.

SPEAKER_01

It is. It's cool.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, yeah, but like, no. Okay. Next we have Sand Shrew.

SPEAKER_01

Sand Shrew would make a mess. Why? Can Tentu shoot sand? Oh, it burrows into the ground to create its nest, so I don't think I could.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, no, it would burrow into your house.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, no. And then Sand Slash is just that guy but more violet.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, with a giant like.

SPEAKER_01

I would keep Nidorian though. It's just like a cute little mouse.

SPEAKER_02

I would, but what does Nidorian eat?

SPEAKER_01

Good question. I'll look it up. Nidorian diet. Let's see. Uh, fruits, nuts, berries, and plants. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I could definitely feed that.

SPEAKER_03

And then Knit Arena. Yeah. I'd keep them together.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And then Nitto Queen's too big. Nitto queen.

SPEAKER_03

And the same with Nitto King.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, same thing with Nidto King. But I would still keep the um. I would still keep the Nidorian male and the Knit Areno. Wait, no, I would not keep the Knit Arena. Look at it. Look at this guy. Look at it. It's just like a big Oh yeah, nah.

SPEAKER_03

It's not like cute or anything.

SPEAKER_01

And and it looks like it's gonna try to kill me. Now Knitto King is just automatic now.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

But then Clefairy. It's like two feet tall and adorable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, Clefairy is an expert healer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I I don't need to pay American I don't need to pay American hospital bills. I can just have Clefairy fix me up.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, she's better than American hospital bills. Uh Clefable, yes. She's four foot three, but Clefable, Clefairy, they're smart. Like they can think. They won't just go around making a mess. Cl Clefairy and Clefable like care.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I agree, they do care. Vulpex. Just a just a little dude. I would keep them. I don't know if I will.

SPEAKER_03

I don't want to keep a two-foot-tall fox.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but it's literally just it's like there are dogs that are bigger than this. I don't think it would be hard to care for, and it's adorable.

SPEAKER_03

I th I'm not I wouldn't be, I just I don't think I would be very good at taking care of them. Nintails, no.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_03

There is a story about Nintails that if you touch one of his tails, you'll be cursed for all of eternity forever. Nintails will literally kill you.

SPEAKER_01

Jigglypuff, yes, yes, a million times.

SPEAKER_03

Although. Why don't she start singing? Then you'll you'll fall asleep. Although, Jigglypuff could sing me to sleep. Like if if I'm having a like a bad night.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Just bring in my little one-foot-tall Jigglypuff.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I bet I bet I could train the Jigglypuff to like when I call it crawl into bed, just like start singing so I fall asleep. Oh, imagine cuddling with Jigglypuff. It's so cute.

unknown

That'd be.

SPEAKER_03

Wigglytuff I'd rather cudd cuddle with.

SPEAKER_01

Hmm, yeah. Wigglytuff. No, Wigglytuff is a little bit big. Wigglytuff is 3-3. Like Jigglypuff, I could just like squeeze. Wigglytuff, I would need to like. It would be harder, but I would still keep Wigglytuff.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I've kept 16 Pokemon so far. What about you?

SPEAKER_04

Well.

SPEAKER_01

Or a number 41.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I've kept 12.

SPEAKER_01

12. Zubat, no, it's just a bat.

SPEAKER_03

No, no. It's a poisonous bat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Same thing with Golbat. Golbat is just bigger, Zubat. Oddish. Awww. I would keep Oddish.

SPEAKER_03

I would put him in the yard.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm sure he would love to like run around in the yard. Oh my god, Judah. Look at the Scarlet Violet Promo Oddish.

SPEAKER_05

What?

SPEAKER_01

If you sort by most expensive of the Oddish, look at the one that's a Scarlet Violet promo. It's the fourth most expensive.

SPEAKER_05

Aww.

SPEAKER_01

I need that. I need that. Wow, that thing's so cool.

SPEAKER_03

Um, gloom, no.

SPEAKER_01

No, just poison. She's gonna kill me.

SPEAKER_03

Same with Viplume.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Literally would kill you.

SPEAKER_01

But Paris? Just a crab.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but I don't want a one-foot-tall crab with mushrooms currently on its back.

SPEAKER_01

I would keep it outside.

SPEAKER_03

Same with Parasect.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, I would keep Paris, but not Parasect. Parasect is gonna draw the line.

SPEAKER_03

Not Venomat, no.

SPEAKER_01

No, Venomat's just gonna poison me. Just gonna kill me.

SPEAKER_03

No, a lot of these will just kill you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Venomoth is probably gonna kill me too. But Diglet? I would keep Diglett.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Why not?

SPEAKER_03

Did you do you know what Diglet does? Diglit is like in the stories, is known to incinerate people's homes. Same with a um same with um Doug Trio because they he digs under your house and he's basically like a giant termite.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

So I would not.

SPEAKER_01

I would keep Meowth for the comic relief. I want someone to talk to. It's just like a little cat. It would be so funny. I would completely keep Meowth.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Meowth.

SPEAKER_01

I wonder what the most expensive is.

SPEAKER_03

Persian, nah. Just big cat.

SPEAKER_01

Persian. But it's not like maybe if I lived in like a jungle or something, but no.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god. Yes. Psyduck? Psyduck.

SPEAKER_01

Psyduck would just have- so cute! I would keep Psyduck if he didn't have a constant headache. I'd feel so bad for him.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah. But I also get migraines. So.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, you can relate to him. I don't get migraines, so like.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we could we could have a migraine party.

SPEAKER_01

Gold Gold duck is no.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

What's a migraine party? You turn off the lights and stare at a wall.

SPEAKER_03

But I get to cuddle with a giant Psyduck, and he's like this thing. He's basically a giant body pillow. No.

SPEAKER_00

No. Jinx.

SPEAKER_03

Primeape. No. Jinx. Theatheo. Gradolith. No.

SPEAKER_00

Mmm.

SPEAKER_03

He's a giant fire dog. He's a giant two-foot-tall dog that can basically summon fire.

SPEAKER_01

I'm going to read some of his um extremely loyal to its trainer. It will bark at those who um who appeared to the.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, actually, never mind.

SPEAKER_01

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Too late. You already locked in your answer. No, I did my research.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I would keep.

SPEAKER_03

Not Arcanine.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah, Arcanine is just too big.

SPEAKER_03

Polywack. Oh, yes. Oh yes. But I'd have to like make a makeshift pond outside.

SPEAKER_01

Uh it's worth it to have that guy around.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, he's so cute.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think I'd do Polyworld.

SPEAKER_01

I found another. I've got another. If you look at the collection moon set, it's another set where just a random um nest ball gold is just the most expensive. It's an $175 random trainer. Polyworls look looks like he's gonna beat me up. Probably not.

SPEAKER_03

And um Poly Wrath will literally beat you up. He has Wrath in his name.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no. But Polyworl will be adorable. Abra? No, he would probably like manipulate. Well, I I need to read some of his Pokedex descriptions. Like that one. Urrr. Which one? Oh, this one probably has one. Nope, it doesn't. Oh, they haven't written they this app doesn't have him written out for the Japanese ones. Here. Abra can teleport in his sleep. Apparently, the more deeply Abra sleeps, the farther teleportations go. No. He would just like teleport out of my house.

SPEAKER_00

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Kadabra? No.

SPEAKER_00

Nah.

SPEAKER_01

And Alakazam, no.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Machop? Yeah, I'll keep him.

SPEAKER_03

I would keep Machop, just not any of the other ones.

SPEAKER_01

I just don't want to make him mad. Yeah. The other ones are literally just like buff dudes. I don't want like a random buff dude just walking around my house.

SPEAKER_03

Bell sprout? I mean, yeah, it's just a plant. I put him next to my Oddish. I'd probably eat him, but.

SPEAKER_01

I well, no, he's a poison type. Um.

SPEAKER_03

I put him outside.

SPEAKER_01

Let me read his Pokedex descriptions. Even though its body is extremely skinny, it's blindingly fast when catching its prey. Hmm, okay. Eve oh, that's the exact same Pokedex entry. Dang. Its bud looks like a human face. Because of that, the bud is rumored to be a the type of a legendary mandrake plant. Having a legendary plant in my yard? It's on the edge, but I I would do it. It it it works.

SPEAKER_03

Weepin' bell.

SPEAKER_01

No. It will just like eat everything.

SPEAKER_03

Victory bell.

SPEAKER_01

No. Same thing. Tentacle, I would keep if I had an ocean.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. No, tentacle literally uses its ten um its tentacles to beat people up.

SPEAKER_01

Same Geodude is just a no.

SPEAKER_03

And Geodude. Nah. He's a giant floating rock with fists. Graveler.

SPEAKER_01

Graveler, definitely no. Golem? No. Ponietta.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Maybe I'll keep it if I lived on like a farm or something.

SPEAKER_03

Rush ramp no. Yeah. Cause see restaurants Rapidash.

SPEAKER_01

I would keep Slowpoke. Slowpoke is adorable.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god, yes.

SPEAKER_01

He would just like laze around on my couch and like We would, oh my god.

SPEAKER_03

He's best friends with um, what's his name? Um Psyduck. So me, Slowpoke, and Psyduck would have migraine parties together. Judah? What?

SPEAKER_01

Slowpoke from Hidden Fates has a very interesting bit of flavor text. Alolan home cooking involves drying slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew. Why?

SPEAKER_02

I hate this.

SPEAKER_01

Man. I would protect my slow poke. Slow bro is just gonna kill me. No way.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I mean he probably wouldn't, but like he would.

SPEAKER_01

He would accidentally feet tall. Magnemite, I would can he accidentally electrotize.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, because he would his magnet would like literally magnetize all of your house.

SPEAKER_01

It sends out electromagnetic waves which let it float through the air. Touching while it's eating electricity will give you a full body shock. Hard pass, no.

SPEAKER_03

Farfetch'd, I wouldn't, not because I don't want to, but because I feel like he wouldn't get along with the other birds that I have on my hands.

SPEAKER_01

We skipped Magneton and um because theirs are just worse than his.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Farfetched. I need to read some of its Pokedex descriptions. Um, the plant of it, the plant stock it holds is its weapon. The stalk is used like a sword to cut all sorts. No.

SPEAKER_03

Uh Doduo.

SPEAKER_01

No, he's four foot seven. He's like around my height. That's that's Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03

Dodrio is five foot eleven.

SPEAKER_01

I would I really want to keep seal, but I can't, because I don't live by the water.

SPEAKER_03

I don't want to keep seal. No! Oh my god, no. Go to number and go to the fourth one. Look, she's on land.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. But he's a seal.

SPEAKER_03

He's a walrus. I'm gonna add him. I don't care.

SPEAKER_01

The colder it gets, the better it feels. It joyfully swims around oceans so cold that they're filled with floating ice. No, I can't care for that guy.

SPEAKER_03

I I'm I'm gonna care for him.

SPEAKER_01

How?

SPEAKER_03

You can make a I'm going to create a bioenviron- I'm going to buy a bioenvironment. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Not Newgong. Not Grimer.

SPEAKER_03

Grimer's just malted. Muck is literally a pile of molted trash.

SPEAKER_01

Shelter, I would keep if I had an ocean. He's kinda cute.

SPEAKER_03

He is kinda cute.

SPEAKER_01

Cloyster, I would keep if I had an ocean. Ghastly, no.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

Haunter? No.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Gengar? Gengar? No.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, let me read some descriptions of Gengar. Let's see. It absorbs the heat in the air around it. If you suddenly feel cold, it's because of a Gengar has arrived.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_03

Under a full moon, this Pokemon likes to mimic sh shadows in people and laugh at their fright.

SPEAKER_01

It hides in shadows. It is said that rooms where Gengar is hiding, the temperature drops by nearly by nearly 10 degrees. My my b my heating bill would go up by so much.

SPEAKER_03

And he wouldn't let you go to sleep.

SPEAKER_01

It steals the life of its target. It slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity. No.

SPEAKER_03

That's the same with Hunter. Hunter also steals his life.

SPEAKER_01

I guess.

SPEAKER_03

I would keep that as a pet. It's just flops and everything dies.

SPEAKER_01

Drowsy?

SPEAKER_03

Uh no, no, you forgot Onyx.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

Oh, um, I actually see a picture of it living in a city. I would keep Articuno.

SPEAKER_03

A legendary bird Pokemon can create blizzards by freezing moisture in the air.

SPEAKER_03

But it can fly and it's smart and it's nice and it's uh won't kill you.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna read to Pokedex entries. Pokedex centuries. Because it can use all kinds of moose, many scientists believe Mew to be the ancestor of Pokemon. Yeah, that doesn't really change my opinion. Because oh, let's see.

SPEAKER_03

Well, because there's only one Mew, so they don't really have a lot of Okay.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, yeah, but I'm not risking my life for for Yeah, I guess that's fair.

SPEAKER_01

I would love to have that. But most of them were just like, yeah, I could take care of them, yeah, it'd be cool. I would love to have Mew. Mew is awesome. But yeah, yeah. The lesson to be learned here is definitely well, Pokemon aren't the greatest pets of all time, so just stay away.
