I met the the most knowledgeable non-Jack member of our family.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

About knowing about Pokemon?

SPEAKER_00 4:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

Are you sure?

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Mm-hmm. So we have Pokemon Thunder and Pokemon Earthquake. I think I want to change the names though.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

How about Pokemon Thunder and Pokemon Quake?

SPEAKER_02 4:35

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

No, that still doesn't just it fits like this, not like this.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

So maybe we call it Pokemon Clay and Pokemon Harvest.

SPEAKER_02 4:57

Love it.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Clay and Harvest, let's do it! No, actually Pokemon Harvest and Pokemon Moon. Harvest and Moon that sucks.

SPEAKER_02 5:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

Pokemon Harvest and Pokemon. Um plateau.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

River.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Pokemon Plateau and Pokemon River.

SPEAKER_02 5:26

Plateau and River.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Love it. Look at me contributing.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

Now we have to make it a plateau Pokemon and a river Pokemon. Oh cell phone. No little trouble and move all.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

So should Pokemon Plateau be a rock type?

SPEAKER_00 5:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

Right? That would make some.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Rock ground.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

Rock ground.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

At least ground something. Ground something.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

And it's gonna have some sort of flat feature about it. Like a flat head or a flat back.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

And then Pokemon River will of course have to be like water something.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

Of course.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

And I was thinking of also making the the regional gimmick.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

And I was thinking on power form power forms.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

Okay. It's kinda exactly what I was thinking. I'm glad we're on the same page.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Power forms.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Where Pokemon can overflow with the power of another type, giving it three types and can have absurd and have a new move and an absurd amount absurd appearance change.

unknown 7:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

So what do you mean by absurd? Like crazy?

SPEAKER_00 7:10

Like more features that make it fit into its, you know, final, final form. And it can go back. And we'll call these power forms.

SPEAKER_02 7:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

Sponsored by the Power Power Watch.

SPEAKER_02 7:33

Love it.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

The power watch.

SPEAKER_02 7:35

Are they giving us money?

SPEAKER_00 7:37

No.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

I didn't know we were making money on this deal. I thought this is just for fun.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

No, the power watch is what the power the power ring which goes on your finger has a special effect of emotional damage.

unknown 7:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

No, it actually that's what puts a Pokemon into its power form.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Got it.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

And there's also gonna be G Max in our G Max.

SPEAKER_02 8:10

So what's the difference between G Max and V Max?

SPEAKER_00 8:14

Dime V Max is Dynamax. It's basically the Pokemon gets bigger, but the Gigant G Max is Gigantamax. And it will get even bigger in a special new appearance appearance change.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

G-Max is bigger than V Max?

SPEAKER_00 8:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

Gotcha. Okay, where do you want where do you want to start?

SPEAKER_00 8:46

With a plateau Pokemon.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

Okay. Rock type, rock ground type.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

I already have a unique one, a unique Pokedex entry. Legends say that this Pokemon channeled all its energy into the region's greater good causing the power phenomenon.

unknown 9:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:18

And then it went into rest as the as the negro mesa.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Quote nickname right.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

So it's black?

SPEAKER_00 9:34

No, it's not gonna be black.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:40

Okay, so let's get into what it looks like. What do you look like? Maybe you look sigma. Maybe you look crazy.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

Okay, do we agree that something has to be flat on it?

SPEAKER_00 9:56

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

So I'm thinking either a flat back or a flat head.

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Flat back.

SPEAKER_02 10:02

Flat back.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 10:04

Is it like an animal? Maybe like kind of looks like a rhinoceros, but with a flat back, like big and little leg. Big body little legs. It's pretty big in size.

SPEAKER_00 10:19

No, because it has to live in the area. Or you can't.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

Well, yeah, it's not like a rhino, but kind of like big body horse. A horse.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:32

So a flat top horse.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

And then I was thinking the river could be a snake.

SPEAKER_02 10:38

I was thinking that too.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

You weren't. I was.

SPEAKER_02 10:42

I really was.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

You pinky promise.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

Pinky promise. I really was.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:50

Okay, we're pinky promising.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Hold on.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

No fingers crossed.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

I was really thinking it. Do you believe me since we pinky promise?

SPEAKER_00 11:01

But what if you twisted your finger?

SPEAKER_02 11:04

No, I didn't. Okay, so we got a flat top horse. What other features does it have?

SPEAKER_00 11:16

So basically. The horse looks like gonna be brown.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Made of ground energy.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

And its feet are like triangled, but the like you know, pointy top is facing it.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

And guess what?

SPEAKER_02 11:43

What's that?

SPEAKER_00 11:46

It will have like a black strap, like kind of resembling a saddle.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

And it will always be looking up. And guess what? It will just have floating rocks coming down on the side of its head as a mane. Wow. Okay, and its tail at the end it's gonna be a rock. And I don't like what they did in Scarlet and Violet.

SPEAKER_02 12:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

Actually, I kind of didn't like what they did.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:27

So maybe you can ride on the edge and daily win before they go into the battle form and you can use them in battle.

SPEAKER_02 12:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:39

So what do you think for the b actually you just have them, but they don't have an enough energy to like you know, battle. They have to help it regain it. Right?

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

So now we have to come up with an ability, a hidden ability.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

Um I'm thinking a gallop or a stomp or for what? Or earthquake.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

For what?

SPEAKER_02 13:34

It's ability or its power or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 13:37

That it's power, it's attack. It's called a move. An ability is a side effect. It gets.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

Okay. Well, I was just throwing out ideas.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

Dad.

SPEAKER_02 13:51

Not all of them are good.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

Dad.

SPEAKER_02 13:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

There's a pea in your brain. But I don't see any brain. Maybe the pee is the brain.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Well, I was just throwing out some ideas. Let's see what you got. You got anything better than what I could come up with?

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 14:15

Okay, hit me with it.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

For its ability, its hidden ability is pressure. And its normal ability is called the plateau gallop.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:35

Every time it thinks, it will when it enters to battle, it will set the sunlight harsh and set up stuff rock.

SPEAKER_02 14:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Type time! Ground what?

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Ground rock.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

No, ground rock is stupid.

SPEAKER_02 15:05

Okay. Ground steel. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:13

No, it would have like spikes coming out of its back. No, that spikes coming out of its side.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:23

I got the end of it, the tail, it's a spot.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

And it has like spiky feet, like where it would have like a mane of a horse.

SPEAKER_00 15:34

No, the manes are floating rocks, remember?

unknown 15:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

And its ankles are spikes. No, what if it had horseshoes?

SPEAKER_02 15:44

That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

Made of steel?

SPEAKER_02 15:46

That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

Okay, time to move on to signature moon. It always has matching letters, like the first word, and then it's like a special word, like so maybe it is clayborn clayborn trot.

SPEAKER_02 16:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

And it trot. And so basically it it forms a giant plateau with all its energy and then charges back and runs down and then it keeps on creating the plateau as it runs. Then the plateau lowers and then it runs over the target and then it keeps on going and then the plateau goes through the target.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

It's physical. 130 damage. Five PP.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:03

So it's time for Pokemon Rivers mascot. Time for the Pokedex. It poured in all its energy to create the power phenomenon. But then it came to rest as an as a river forever moving.

SPEAKER_02 17:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:27

Once met with great forces of rock, it would awaken into a rage.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:40

No, actually the signature move for. I never came up with a name for the ground legendary.

SPEAKER_02 17:49

Oh. Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

Plat horse?

SPEAKER_02 17:55

Love it.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

No, hold on. Hold on. I came up with an idea. Its name is Ho Gerondo. Coming from Grand Horse in Japanese.

unknown 18:16

Epic.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

And I'm gonna change the signature move name to Raging. Raging Plateau.

unknown 18:32

Okay?

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Love it. Dun dun dun dum.

SPEAKER_00 18:38

And still has all the same animations and stuff. So time to move on to Drew Pokemon. What is a sojourner?

SPEAKER_02 18:53

I think it's someone that like travels far distances.

SPEAKER_00 18:58

Sojourn river?

SPEAKER_02 19:00

Sojourn?

SPEAKER_00 19:03

What sojourn?

SPEAKER_01 19:04

That's like the noun version of that, I think. Reverb version.

SPEAKER_00 19:11

So time to move on to the river pop come on. Yeah. So everybody. So snake? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 19:27

Gotta be blue, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:28

Yes, very blue. So like imagine a blue straight snake.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:37

But kind of curves.

SPEAKER_02 19:38

Yeah, like a river.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Yes. And a black underbelly. Right?

SPEAKER_02 19:46

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 19:50

And then its head is really emphasized.

SPEAKER_02 19:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

Like how on Osirondo its back is emphasized.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

Okay. Makes sense?

SPEAKER_00 20:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 20:07

And any pattern to it or just straight? Kind of like a wavy pattern, or do you think it should be just straight blue?

SPEAKER_00 20:16

Sky blue and dark blue pinstripes.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

That's beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

No, actually not like you know, like the like waviness. Wavy stripes.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Wave strap.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

I love that. I think we're really on to something here. I want to hear more.

SPEAKER_00 20:40

What if it has red eyes? And what if like somewhere on assessment here it will have orange and white stripes, right?

SPEAKER_02 21:04

Love it.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

And he and the signature move will be called Raging River. Sound cool?

SPEAKER_02 21:20

Sounds very cool.

SPEAKER_00 21:22

So the snake opens up a little water hole and it jumps into it. And it swims under the battlefield and comes up under the opponent. And the whole river comes up through the hole. Amazing. Like blasting the opponent. I love this. 120 damage. What? Five PP.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

Wow. Wouldn't want to be on the other end of a battle with this guy.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

No. Wait, actually, yeah. Even if you have a garage. You're dead because water is super effective against ground.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

So this one would beat Hosarondo in a battle.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

Remind me this one's name?

SPEAKER_00 22:17

We haven't made it, so we're gonna go to the name. So Kenagi is its name.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

How'd you come up with that?

SPEAKER_00 22:26

Japanese for a river snake.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

Love that. Super creative.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

And its secondary type is gonna be dragon. Actually?

SPEAKER_02 22:39

Dragonobi.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

Hazaron Joe's second type, but it's gonna be dragon too. And it's not gonna affect the name. Okay. Cool. Owl.

SPEAKER_02 22:56

Jack just smashed my pea brain with his hands.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

Yes.

unknown 23:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 23:02

You thought I was useless before.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

SPEAKER_00 23:36

Wait, so canabi.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

SPEAKER_00 23:40

Yes. And I forgot to make Kenabi's signature ability hit an ability pressure.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

So winding griver. Fire type attacks do no damage unless um fire types only do fire type moves only do damage to it if it's on sunny day.
