Episode 35: the tenacious thirty-fifth episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast. And it is living up to its name as we discuss Pokemon GO. But first, a little talk about Pokemon Shuffle. We think we have figured out this new Skill Swapper power-up, and get excited for Skill Booster drops from Celebi and the newly arrived Origin Forme of Giratina in an escalation battle. In random news, Hyrule Warriors Legends has an update that Miz Sylver is excited about, so if you are playing update your game to V 1.4.0 and increase your max hero level and get a free fairy! New Callie and Marie amiibo are out, along with a recoloring of the three-pack of the inkling girl and boy and squid. The Callie and Marie amiibo unlock new content in Splatoon and new outfits in Mario Maker. Miz Sylver's TempleCon events are fully scheduled! (TempleCon is August 25th - 28th at the Crowne Plaza Warwick in Rhode Island) Friday the 26th at 2 pm - D&D 5th Edition: Wild ArcanaSaturday the 27th at 12 pm - Get Super Smashed Bros. DoublesSunday the 28th at 2 pm - D&D 5th Edition: Temple of Fire & Ice (ADULT THEMES ADVENTURE) We are excited about lots of stuff at the Con, including the arcade, and the newly introduced arcade high score contests, and Starship Horizons. In the past few years we have attended the Neo-Victorian High Tea, and have loved it every time. You have to preregister for that, and it is worth it! And of course, we talk about Pokemon GO!!! Miz Sylver has played a lot more than The Wolf Doctor, since she has been plagued by login issues. We have pledged ourselves to Team Valor aka Red, we want you in our crew! Maybe we will see you on a Poke-Walk around Boston??? Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you. Are you going to TempleCon? Did we get any of the mechanics of Pokemon Go wrong? Are you on Team Red? #TeamWillow or #TeamKukui? Tweet, email, or comment on the blog or Facebook to let us know!

Episode 34: The thirsty thirty-fourth episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast, where our old school arcade dreams come to life! We had an awesome time visiting Bit Bar Salem this week, where we spoke to head chef Eric "The" Hammer, front of house manager Eric (yes, two Erics, Miz Sylver is confused!), and Gideon, President of the Bit Bar group. Listen for our full review, but let us just say that we had an awesome time! Rob who runs the Twitter stream is also hilarious, and has agreed to give us an interview "soon"! Follow @BitBarSalem !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs'); Bit Bar Salem is a "barcade", a bar/restaurant with tons of arcade games. Bit Bar is located at Bridge St & St Peter St in Salem, and is in the old Salem Jail! It's worth following them on Facebook, and signing up for their email list, since they email out which games will be at the bar. There are about thirty games now, including three pinball machines, but they have about as many again in storage that will be rotated in to keep the experience fresh! The food was also amazing, big props to Chef Eric for elevating it past standard bar fare and offering a wide vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free selection. The Wolf Doctor loved the shiitake spring rolls, and Miz Sylver loved the elk burger! The popcorn snacks were cool too! All the drinks on the menu have great video game names, like Ms. Pac Man (Miz Sylver's order) and the Ghost Eater (the Wolf Doctor's choice). Next time we have to order the Dankey Kang! We talk a bit about Pokemon Shuffle, which, if you are playing, you need to check out the special events this week. The latest safari has the first in-game shiny's, Shiny Gyrados and Shiny Magicarp, and is ending July 5th. This ties in to the moves based Mega Gyrados competition, also ending July 5th. We also mention a whole lot of news and upcoming events! Shaymin is the mythical Pokemon of July! As with the previous mythical Pokemon events, you can receive a Shaymin through the Nintendo Network. New Pokemon for Sun and Moon! PokePiku in New York July 30. The Sailor Moon symphony, Sera Symphony, is in Brooklyn tomorrow! Sean's Bar & Kitchen (42 W 48th St, New York, New York) is hosting a Monster Hunter Generations Launch Party on Friday, July 15 at 5 PM. This is the big one! The Final Splatfest, Callie vs. Marie, is happening starting at 2 AM PT on Friday, July 22, until 2 AM PT on Sunday, July 24. Miz Sylver will be Team Callie! Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you. Have you been to Bit Bar Salem or one of their pop up Bit Fest events? Is Cue Ball Wizard as scary as I make it sound? Are you going to the Sailor Symphony? Tweet, email, or comment on the blog or Facebook to let us know!

Miz Sylver, on the other hand, played her new NES Classic! And we both managed to enter the My Nintendo Holiday Sweepstakes! And now, we talk about Sun and Moon! Miz Sylver bought the special Amazon Steelbook Pokemon Sun and Moon Set! If you buy Sun or Moon before January 11th, you can get a free download of a Munchlax that can evolve into a Snorlax with Pulverizing Pancake! Miz Sylver toys with the idea of getting the Z-Ring Bracelet! Tomorrow (Sunday November 20th) from 2 to 4pm, Toys'R'Us is having a Sun and Moon launch party event where you can get some really cool freebies, including a Meowth statue!

We also speculate about changes in Pokemon appearance rates, egg drop rates, and PokeStop item drop rates! Miz Sylver reviews some of the upcoming metagame changes in Pokemon Sun and Moon. The new game sees a lot of changes in movesets, move stats like Power and PP, and hidden abilities too. (And we can't help but talk about Snorlax and awesome Z Moves!)

Episode 39: The thorough thirty-ninth episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast! We review a few demos and cover some news before talking about the first month mark of Pokemon GO! Today is the 30th anniversary of Metroid! Miz Sylver ponders the male form of Samus (Mamus?) as she reviews the Metroid Prime: Blast Ball demo. The full game, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, gets released August 19th. You can scan amiibo to get Mech Paint Jobs, Miz Sylver has gotten paint jobs from Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Bowser, Rosalina, Peach, Mario, and Luigi, but of course there may be more. Scanning other amiibo can get you the Skull paint job! Anyway, the demo is available in the eShop on your 3DS! The Wolf Doctor played the demo of Style Savvy Fashion Forward, which is also being released for the 3DS on August 19th. It's a fashion and styling game, with the main focus on running a boutique. You help the customers find what they want, but you are also responsible for picking the clothes that your boutique carries, and in the full game you get to design your own clothes and model them in fashion shows in Miiverse contests. The Wolf Doctor thought it was a cute, nice game, and pretty OK for any age range. Basically, if this appeals to you at all, try the demo! Now for some news! Good Old Games is doing some classic Disney side-scrollers, Aladdin, Lion King, and Jungle Book. They're all coming to computer platforms! SMITE is doing special events for the Olympics, the Smite Great Games! There are three events over the next month, each with at least 50 gems as a completion prize! And now, it's our destiny to talk about Pokemon GO. We're still playing, are you? We talk about the news and controversies, from players demanding (and receiving) refunds, to the Articuno hack, to the three step bug. But we still have hope! (The Wolf Doctor's Snorlax gives her that hope...) With the renewed interest in all things Pokemon, there's more great Pokemon content on the web than ever... Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, we want to hear from you. Are you still loving Pokemon GO? Do you enjoy cute dress up games like Style Savvy Fashion Forward? Or are you more into having your Metroid Prime Balls Blasted? Tweet, email, or comment on the blog or Facebook to let us know!
