The Creature Quorum

Your first time in the Big City, you're wowed. Perhaps even blown away. But your second time? ...You're probably still blown away in a real city, I guess. In Pokemon, it's a bit... eh. We've already done Castelia City, and while there have been a few interesting changes, it mostly hasn't learned new tricks. It's got one hell of an underground scene, though!

this is a joke

about the sewers

Electric City is next on the docket- we're headed to Nimbasa City for our next episode!

P! O! M! E! M! O N! POMEMON! It's time to rock out in Virbank City, the town with kinda nothing to do! We'll pass back through Route 20 on the way there, swing by the ol' Virbank Complex, have our fifteen turns of fame at the Pokestar Studios, and of course enjoy the musical stylings of Roxie and her band. Flip a coin: if it's heads, she doesn't use a single poison attack on you, and the fight is mad easy. If it's tails, all she uses is Toxic, and it's a nightmare.

Next time, we're headed to the Big Leppa Berry itself: Castelia City, and the Insect Badge.

We've got a bit of a different one for you this time. We're joined by Magellan, Allen's best friend and cohost on Chatz: A Television Podcast for a special draft episode. We've got a whole menu of regions, a plethora of trainers, and a trio of visions to make real. Let's. Get. Snake Drafting!

It's time for round 2! Many Pokemon generations have an extra game that comes out after the initial two, but only Black & White got full-on sequels, aptly titled Black 2 & White 2. Two years have passed in game! The world has changed! Team Plasma hides in the shadows, and the cast of the first game have moved into a new stage of their lives. Let's pick the tour back up, coming at this from a different direction... literally.

Next episode, we're off to Virbank City, and the Toxic Badge!

And once again... we're caught up! The Paldea Pokedex is done, and we await a new challenger. Probably Legends XY, but I guess we'll see! On this episode of the Quorum: Archaludon, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder, Iron Crown, Terapagos, and some pre-B2W2 Q&A.

It's time to get back to our original duties! Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, released in two parts, bringing some two dozen new pokemon with it. (EDIT: No, Six. That's 14. Not 24. Please learn to count.) Neither of us had completed the main game, nor touched the DLC, so we held off on discussing designs we'd never seen in context. Well, we have now, and we're pretty excited about some of them! Let's talk!

We had a score to settle with N. And then, spoilers... we did. This week on the Unova Tourism Committee, the Eight Badge Gates, Victory Road, the Elite Four, N's Castle, and a man impersonating our mom!

That's it for round 1 of this tour, and we'll take a few eps doing other things before we jump back in... but we WILL jump back in, for Black 2 & White 2.

We're so close to done... but alas, getting close to finished with the first half of our Unova journey is a lot of pressure. To relax a little, we're taking a quick detour. Team Rocket, Team Skull, Team Magma, Team Yell... and others, like... also Team Skull but different. So many villainous organizations in Pokemon. But what is the BEST? Let's decide.
