A trainer's first Pokemon is arguably the most important impact on how their fighting style develops and more importantly how they grow as a trainer and as a person. So naturally, the Pokemon that best map onto our personalities are a goopy snot dragon, a swole fish with large calves, and a metallic pangolin walled off from emotions. Fortunately, Tom Zalatnai from Up for Discussion and Blasting Off Again stopped by to remind us that there is good in the world, and that a Pokemon can be used to improve society and are not just for Instagram fan pages.

Since no one asked for it, we went back to the lore well and drudged up another hot steaming pile of knowledge for the next edition of FLAVOR TEXT! Marvel has announced they will be releasing an Eternals movie in 2020. What the hell is an Eternal? Do they have anything to do with the mysterious, seemingly immortal beings we've already met? And what is the deal with that giant baby-god with the big head? Resident Marvel expert Todd Thomas answers these questions and more!

Despite the fact that we've made it abundantly clear that we don't know Science, our field team at Debate This Labs are studying the various colors of Yoshis to answer one very important question: Which color of Yoshi is the best? Is it the fire-breathing Red Yoshi, the flying Blue Yoshi, or the butt-thwomping Yellow Yoshi? There can only be one champion in the ensuing Yoshi Race Wars, because those are the imaginary stakes we've established today.

We here at Debate This Corp, LLC, want to make a game but we don't really know anything about game development. But there is one thing we do know about, and that's Corporate America. So we would like to present to you, dear listener, our pitch for a massively-multiplayer online RPG based in the world of 9-5 office jobs. You know how cool it is to shoot fireballs from your hands? Well what if instead of fireballs, those were witty social media posts and JIRA tickets?

We've spent a lot of time debating, so let's take off the punching gloves and put on our friendship pants to learn a bit more about our master debaters.

It is the year 20XX. Gigantic monsters have appeared from the depths of the Pacific Ocean to wreak havoc, and so our only option is to build larger robots largely themed around specific elements and/or animals to combat them. The only thing standing between us and absolute destruction is the combined power of Flash Man, Guts Man, and Armored Armadillo. We're screwed.

The poor DC Cinematic Universe just can't catch a break. We thought there might be some momentum with Wonder Woman, but then Justice League and Batman vs. Superman happened. So it's time to force a heel-turn. We're going to recast some of the more iconic heroes that have had some less-than-stellar appearances at in the theater. Get ready for some new, hot takes on Superman, Green Lantern, and the world's greatest detective...Man-Bat!

Gel up your spiky hair and break out your magical key swords, because Kingdom Hearts III is here!

This is your last chance to turn back.

War. War never changes. Except when the latest Fallout game gets bored with its lack of NPCs and decides to incorporate a hipster gorilla, malicious disembodied hands, and a delusional man shouting about "catching 'em all." In addition to our pitch for this new, unofficial DLC, we add to our pantheon of false actor gods.

Kingdom Hearts is the unexpectedly glorious mashup of Disney characters and Final Fantasy. With the release of Kingdom Hearts III fast approaching, we're going to try and capitalize on its success by creating our own mashups of two beloved franchises. These games have everything: sentient yoga pants, Pyramid Head's warm apple pies, a sober Johnny Depp, and an uncomfortable amount of zippers.
