Bop to get this little Slido link and I'll do you a solid and double link this so YouTube also gets a piece of that cookie And I will answer your questions in a jiffy but first but first we are moving to one of my favorite half-hours of the entire week which is Highlights!

Oh wait before that before that chat forgot to mention this by the way important

Friday, FireRed LeafGreen.

I'm buying FireRed, probably also LeafGreen.

And it's Team Squirtle chat.

If you play the GBA remakes on Switch, I know the ROMs, but fuck that conversation.

It's Team Squirtle.

It's the only correct choice.

Now you know.

Squirtle.

Good.

Squirtle.

Telling you.

Anyway.

We go to...

The originals.

I don't have the GBA games anymore.

I seem to have misplaced them.

I do have HeartGold Black and Black 2.

from my old library, which are three banger games.

HeartGold was recently reacquired, actually.

Let me shift the agenda.

Highlights.

But the GBA games seem to have grown feet and walk away from me.

Unfortunate, it is what it

is.

Team Bidoof.

Actually true, it is an OP Pokemon for all the HM reasons.

Chat, I'm a fan of one update, Team OGPD.

See, by the way...

If Leaf Green was just Water Blue or Aqua Blue instead, exact same game, just different color cover and cartridge back in the day, I would buy that.

I would say screw Arcanine, and even if you can get Blastoise in FireRed 2, screw that.

Because I simped for Blastoise in every way I can.

But when Venusaur went in instead, tables turned.

While it goes, Pokemon Maractus?

Yo, anyone else remember the, I'm not sure how much Pokemon and Satisfactory overlap, but anyone else remember the, the backlash when Maractus made it into Sword and Shield?

Because Sword and Shield was the first games, I want to say ever, in the mainline series where you physically could not actually bring every past Pokemon into new games.

Like, Sun and Moon had a national dex that did not include all mons, but even the unnumbered mons, old mons, they could still be brought in because they had models, you could play with them, all that.

They were straight up not compatible with Sword and Shield.

Like, three, four hundred months.

And, while people lost favorites, I lost Breloom to Sword and Shield.

And they bring Maractus in, and I'm like... That's crazy.

Crazy.

Crazy, Game Freak.

I can't believe it.

Anyway.

We'll see you when we see you.

Uh,

oh.

Did I say I was Team Squirtle?

Because I love water.

That's the main reason.

And I love turtles.

In fact, look at this, chat.

Look at what my mom got me.

Look what my mom got me, chat.

It's a turtle.

It's a turtle carrying a mini-turtle.

Anyway... Ah, it's the best...

I'll show it again when we get past highlights and the camera is...

It's so cute!

Mini turtle.

Sorry, I did not mean to disconnect from the dam instantly.
