Understandable.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 4:39

Pretty cool stuff. Turns out creating and distributing a podcast, not that hard.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

We can do it. Well, it's anybody can.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

Sorry if I'm breaking the fourth wall bus sprout.

SPEAKER_03 5:29

I think they're okay with it. We're probably not the only podcast to do that.

Yeah, you're probably right.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

Okay, so Pokemon Thunder.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Pokemon Earthquake. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

Okay. Is it split into the north and the south or east and west?

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Well, we have to design what the the the the region looks like.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

There's gonna be one starter town this time.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

There's basically gonna be a massive circle with some like ridges coming out.

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

And I have an idea for the starting town. Okay. It's gonna be based on Carlton Landing.

SPEAKER_03 6:09

Okay. What's Carleton Landing for the people that don't know it?

SPEAKER_01 6:13

Um, my favorite place to go. It's somewhere near McAllister.

SPEAKER_03 6:18

Oklahoma.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 6:19

It's a lake town.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

Very cute. Lots of houses that look very similar.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

That was the first place I ever went to Bing.

SPEAKER_03 6:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

We don't live in Santa Fe, but we're recording from Santa Fe. And guess what?

SPEAKER_03 6:36

What's that?

SPEAKER_01 6:37

I just learned how to use chopsticks without using the helpers.

SPEAKER_03 6:41

And you're very good at it.

SPEAKER_01 6:43

Thanks, Dad.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

Okay, let's actually move on.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

Let's talk Pokemon.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

We're only six minutes in.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

I know, I'm just saying, like, let's get to the meat and potatoes here. I'm ready to talk some Pokemon.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:59

Or do we have any other announcements or catch-up stuff?

SPEAKER_01 7:02

So for the post-game area, I was thinking there'd be like a secret canyon. No, a secret plateau that's too high, and you need to beat the game to upgrade your bike to go up there.

SPEAKER_02 7:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

And I bet there's like very strong Pokemon, maybe even and and that's where you catch the legendaries.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

In our time, Winds and Waves just got released. So fun. I haven't played it. I'm just so excited!

SPEAKER_03 7:39

I bet it's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

It's it's gonna release in 2027. Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_03 7:45

I don't know if I can wait that long.

unknown 7:47

I know.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

It is too long.

SPEAKER_03 7:52

Good news is time flies these days, so it'll be here before we know it.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Yeah. So let's talk starter town.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Maybe it's on like an island in the middle of a lake.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

Kind of like how Sicily is kind of sealed away from Italy.

SPEAKER_00 8:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:14

We do it like that.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

And let me just say that it's not gonna be where your dad is dead or your mom is dead. It's kind of situation. That'd be sad. Mm-hmm. It's mostly always your dad is dead. But some games your dad is alive.

SPEAKER_03 8:43

There's games where your dad is dead.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:46

Ugh.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

And only your mom's alive.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

What kind of games are those?

SPEAKER_01 8:52

Almost every game.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Every Pokemon game?

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Oh man. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Let's move on.

SPEAKER_03 9:01

Yes, let's. I don't like talking about that.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Okay, so you're in a small town. We gotta come up with the naming theme for the town. I feel like we should name them after famous road Route 66 attractions.

SPEAKER_02 9:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

But like, no, actually famous. Um so the start of the theme will probably be types of mythology. So maybe the theming scheme is mythology?

SPEAKER_03 9:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 9:55

No, actually What about based on like Native American stuff?

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Oh like No, actually that kinda No, not a good idea.

SPEAKER_03 10:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

The naming thing, since it comes from Southern America, maybe like special Barbie. No, not Barbie. Like barbecue.

SPEAKER_00 10:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

And then maybe some Mexican food kind of mixed in.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Love it.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

So maybe we call this so. Actually, we're gonna name it after famous Broadway. No. No, actually we'll just name it after foods.

SPEAKER_03 10:47

Okay. Pulled pork. Brisket.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Enchilada. Hambon town.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

Hambon town.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Mm-hmm. Coming from like hamburger. Yeah. Hamb.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Love it.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

So ham bun.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

Ham bun.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

Hambun town.

SPEAKER_03 11:05

Ham bun town.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

No, it's actually just called ham bun.

SPEAKER_03 11:09

What about ham dog?

unknown 11:10

No.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

Half hamburger, half hot dog.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

No, ham bun. Ham bun!

SPEAKER_03 11:14

Love it.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

Ham bun!

SPEAKER_03 11:16

Love it.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

Sorry. We're just so excited. We get to see you again. Okay, I should probably shut up.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

Well, you should actually probably not, because this is a podcast and we need to talk the whole time.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

So we'd think if it was just a silent podcast.

SPEAKER_01 11:36

So in season one, we didn't have an opening theme. So we're just gonna use like random Pokemon anime.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

We've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the podcast better, huh?

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

So we so we're gonna do random anime theme music for the intros now. And I think it's time. Oh, there's a Pokemon over there.

SPEAKER_03 12:04

Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 12:05

Who's that Pokemon? Woo!

SPEAKER_03 12:09

Who is that Pokemon?

SPEAKER_01 12:11

Okay. So I think I want to make our Pikachu clone.

SPEAKER_03 12:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

So let's like a good rodent. Maybe an armadillo.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

Armadillo, that's exactly what I was thinking. That's exactly what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

Yeah. I forgot what armadillas look like. So we search the new Pokemon's name is gonna be Rodonoi.

SPEAKER_03 12:37

Rhodonoi.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

It's gonna be electric ground and it's based off of an Amarillo. An armorillo.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

Armadillo. How did we come up with that name?

SPEAKER_01 12:49

Um so Pokemon has a theme of naming the Pikachu clones after Japanese words. So we looked up the Japanese word for thunder, which is nai, and the Japanese word for armor, which is yoroi. And then we added rodent. Roioi nai. Now roino ronoi. How is it?

SPEAKER_02 13:18

Rotoei.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Rotonoi. Got it. Rotonoi. So maybe it's like Should we say it ten times so we implanted a little bit?

SPEAKER_01 13:32

Maybe it's like bone armor. It's like little thunderbolts.

SPEAKER_03 13:37

Yeah. Rotonoi. I was gonna keep saying it so I don't forget it.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

And then it's a little body, it's gonna be a little hairy. And then it's gonna be it's gonna be brown. And then he's gonna have little brown sacks on his cheek because his face is yellow. And then he has little ears. Little ears. Little ears. Okay, so I think that's pretty good. And I think we should also come up with an evolution.

SPEAKER_03 14:13

Okay. Zumeretsu.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Yeah, we had to Google up words for it. Okay?

SPEAKER_03 14:21

Zumaretsu comes from lightning and fissure in Japanese.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

Zumuretsu.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

Zumuretsu. Rotonoi and Zumuretsu.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

How do you uh evolve Rotonoi into Zumuretsu?

SPEAKER_03 14:37

Um you catch it with a speedball.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

It's called a quick ball.

SPEAKER_03 14:42

Quick ball.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

Um no, actually, maybe you give it a new item called the thunder scale.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

Or lightning scale.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Oh yeah, lightning no lightning bolt. No lightning chip.

SPEAKER_03 14:57

Lightning chip?

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Like it's chipped armor.

SPEAKER_03 15:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

And then it evolves into Zumuretsu.

SPEAKER_03 15:04

Zumuretsu.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

And I think it should have a signature move.

SPEAKER_03 15:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

Zumuretsu's signature move is gonna be um lightning strike.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Thunderbolt.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

Thunder fissure.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

Thunder fissure.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Whichever type. So it shoots a bolt of lightning and then creates a fissure below. And then it kinda like boom. And it takes and the type that the Pokemon takes damage for, like if the damage is electric type or ground type depends on which type would do more damage. Like if electric was super effective, it would be electric type. But if ground was effec super effective, it would be take damage for ground type. So so lightning fissure.

SPEAKER_03 16:11

Makes sense to me.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

I'm tracking.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

We also know fissure is a move that just faints the other Pokemon. This one it just it does like 60 damage.

SPEAKER_02 16:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

It doesn't. One hit KO! Sorry about that. I'm just so excited.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

Right now.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

Okay. So now we have Zumuratsu.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

And Rotonoi.

SPEAKER_02 16:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

But we still have four minutes. What do we do?

SPEAKER_03 16:57

I don't know. What do we we wanna finish up talking maybe about the any about the region or any features of it? Anything that we'd like to explore the rest of the season? Yeah. Season preview.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

So there's gonna be a volcano area that you can enter. That's you know the post-game area I mentioned. Yeah. It's gonna be under that post-game area. Okay. But you can access late game.

SPEAKER_03 17:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

And then there's gonna be some forests, a lot.

SPEAKER_03 17:28

Some desert.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

Mm-hmm. And instead of gym leaders, actually we're gonna have gym leaders.

SPEAKER_02 17:35

Gotta have gym leaders.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

And a little lead four. But we're gonna give them more in-depth, not like the Paudella one.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Okay. They suck. Do they?

SPEAKER_01 17:44

They just share one room.

SPEAKER_03 17:46

Really?

SPEAKER_01 17:47

And then you go to the top, and then you see Gita.

SPEAKER_03 17:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

It's so dumb.

SPEAKER_03 17:53

Okay, I'll take your word for it.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

So I think that's it. We'll play our theme music and then do a recap. So we did the full one here on accident. And then and it was on the mix, so sorry about the crazy. And you know, so we got the chalked region. And then we have two new Pokemon. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Rotanori.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

And Shimuretsu. No, it's not Shimuretsu.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

Zumuretsu.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

Oh yeah, Zumuretsu. So we got our naming theme. And him little bird. So I think now it's time for us to say this is Professor Snowden. This is the one.

SPEAKER_03 20:04

This is Professor Snowden.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

Signing off. Thank you for day one of our journal. And thank you, Bus Proud.
