[00:01:19] it here first everyone spoilers Sarah led just coming to Pokemon unite
[00:01:23] that's a experience your exclusive thank you for sharing it with us
[00:01:26] Greg Latherman yep glad to welcome thank you thank you for having me I'm here
[00:01:34] mostly because the first time you covered this you had mentioned something
[00:01:39] about being expert pro gamers and I was so curious what your rankings are in
[00:01:45] ranked matches I am actually expert rank so if you have any questions about
[00:01:50] Pokemon unite you want to know anything about did you did you know that your
[00:01:57] rank is the best one must be your rank is so low I am actually not able to play
[00:02:03] with you because I'm at master rank yeah we were able to play our solo that it
[00:02:07] will bar me from actually joining any matches with y'all because you're so
[00:02:13] bad at the game what about what about veteran I'm a veteran isn't that better
[00:02:17] a veteran yeah is veteran better I think if I'm like if I'm ill let me think
[00:02:23] about this if I'm ill and I need to go to the doctor am I going to a veteran
[00:02:27] doctor no they've been out of med school for like years they don't know like
[00:02:31] they're so behind you know they have to do new trainings every year and
[00:02:35] am I going to an expert doctor yes no I so or a master doctor I'm going to
[00:02:43] master doctor doctor here's actually sound master doctor actually sound here are
[00:02:47] your ranks so beginner boo we don't like them great okay you're great expert
[00:02:55] sure I mean I want to see the credentials veteran that means you've seen
[00:03:00] things you know things you've been in the field yes all tries the one that
[00:03:05] doesn't make a lot of sense ultra should be where expert is an expert should be
[00:03:09] ultra and then master where I am and have been for the last 18 seasons oh my
[00:03:16] god yeah so that's the last one I'm not that's the last so master rank has so
[00:03:21] then your master 1200 master 1400 and master 1600 and I do not hate myself
[00:03:29] enough to shoot for 1600 I can't you know what is that what does that even mean
[00:03:34] because the other ones don't even have like they just do the rank like on class
[00:03:39] four yeah not where are they getting 1600 from suddenly so as 1200 points
[00:03:45] 1400 point 1600 points huh already learning something can I take greed and all
[00:03:52] the way you can you can people do Greg have you seen some other questions
[00:03:56] for you as a greed and master are you jungle invade greed which is the only way
[00:04:02] to play greed and properly usually I'll pick a friend an ally and all kind of
[00:04:09] follow them around not just wrong just hammer it people greed goes into the
[00:04:14] other sides jungle and steals everything and gets out that is why they exist
[00:04:19] jungle invade greed and everybody hates jungle invade greed and everybody who
[00:04:23] sees greed and it's like kill it I like to do the big belches they're pretty fun
[00:04:29] yeah you can really clear out a room you got more into the belching I like it to
[00:04:33] wait until everyone is up by the legendaries trying to like get them to go
[00:04:38] towards the other person's end zone yeah and then I'll just go in there and just
[00:04:41] start belching on everybody and really stink up the place gross everyone drops
[00:04:46] their little orbs their little aos orbs and I gobble them all up get out of
[00:04:50] here I mean that's Greg that's how a real expert place so yeah you know maybe
[00:04:56] you might be learning some veteran and ultra or a master you might learn some
[00:05:00] things today too I doubt it probably gonna actually yeah yeah you're gonna want to go
[00:05:05] for those legendary Pokemon yeah you are really good at what I want to rotate to
[00:05:10] the bottom ready please go go to the bottom do not be tempted by the giant
[00:05:16] electrical ready up top that is not your goal you want to go to the one at the
[00:05:21] bottom that boost is better I see like everyone always
[00:05:25] goes down to always he's always just ready because everybody thinks like launches
[00:05:29] like 30 seconds after the first one so everyone runs up to the first one
[00:05:32] because they're impatient well they launched at the same time the XP boost
[00:05:37] you get from the bottom Reggie so outweighs anything that's gonna happen with
[00:05:42] Reggie lucky up top Reggie lucky up top is a distraction and it is the wrong
[00:05:48] thing to do you need to go down get the because if you kill the bottom not only
[00:05:53] do you get a stat boost but everybody gets next p boost everybody doesn't matter
[00:05:59] they are better it is a thousand percent why do we all go for Reggie like you
[00:06:04] because it's big and sparky and it scores points yeah but the reality is if
[00:06:09] you're down below if you kill that Reggie below you can make it up top and stop
[00:06:14] Reggie lucky in its tracks and it gets nowhere it's completely stop it doesn't
[00:06:18] do anything but score points I can't wait to tell everyone in the next
[00:06:23] veterans meeting that I have okay let them know because veteran class is where
[00:06:27] they need to start learning
[00:06:30] at the bar
[00:06:32] you know I was in the A.O. Swarth veteran Legion yeah that's a good tip hot tip
[00:06:40] from master Greg yeah master Greg expert Tanner veteran Josh master Greg that
[00:06:46] actually all sounds pretty nice really good yeah it reminds me of I heard a
[00:06:50] story this might be made up but I heard a story like good great start yep it
[00:06:55] is NASA had to change the names of like the like the little like condoms you
[00:07:00] wrap around your penis for your in flight P-bag I don't think you had to
[00:07:05] explain that the condom goes around the penis well I mean it's maybe some
[00:07:13] people are learning that it's another thing you can learn from this episode
[00:07:16] I don't know enough about it to speak on it with any authority but I think
[00:07:20] it's like a little sock you put around your penis so that you can pee while
[00:07:23] you're in a space suit oh got it I'm searching Google NASA peace-sock right now
[00:07:27] and I heard a story that they had sizes and everyone kept choosing large and
[00:07:33] then everyone's little piece off kept falling off so they had to like
[00:07:36] rename all the sizes yeah that's like they made like the medium like extra
[00:07:41] large right everyone started picking that and that's what if the ranks in
[00:07:44] Pokemon unite feel like I'm like the third rank I'm the third worst
[00:07:48] ranked you are yeah and I'm expert apparently it's called your in collection
[00:07:54] hardware according to NASA that I just looked at on Google so it's your
[00:08:01] nickname now we just use it much you'll just call you UCH for short yeah
[00:08:06] and Tanner UCH what tell me about your history with Pokemon unite Craig
[00:08:14] even play since the battle days yeah you play every day did you play mobs
[00:08:18] before this to or so I've I've not played an official moba long term I did so
[00:08:25] when world a warcraft did their whatever legends of heart storm or whatever
[00:08:30] that was heroes of the story of the storm whatever that was I play that for a
[00:08:36] hot second and then when you night came out a like that I get to run around
[00:08:41] as a Pokemon that's fun it is B it's a 10 minute it's a 10 minute commitment
[00:08:46] at best right it's also absolutely infuriating many times but it was it hit
[00:08:54] sort of all of the quick competitive they had a bunch of really interesting
[00:09:00] Pokemon choices you just kind of get in get out you can play with up to five
[00:09:04] people which is fun of course they're gonna play with five people you need to be
[00:09:08] in a discord talking to it's you need to have communication they do not
[00:09:14] have communications in that game that are worth a darn yeah and all of their
[00:09:18] like yeah any any of the time like when someone takes the time to do though
[00:09:24] it like prompts you to give a little thumbs up or whatever it's like who's got
[00:09:27] the time to hit the end the plot so whatever it has built-in voice system now
[00:09:32] and I always turn it off because it's just full of people who speak foreign
[00:09:37] languages screaming at you for not doing what they think you should do I never
[00:09:41] never use I just turn it off oh my god I don't need your input because you're
[00:09:45] going to Reggie Lucky and I already know that your opinion is useless I need
[00:09:49] nothing expert rank yeah yeah yeah
[00:09:55] nothing for me to learn from you people I started playing right away I just
[00:09:59] enjoyed it it's easy to play over lunch breaks or like I'm gonna spend an hour
[00:10:04] at night playing for a while I will admit that I am apparently into punishment
[00:10:14] because I get to master rank by playing support in solo queue I only play
[00:10:22] support when I'm so getting my way to master rank so I pick so I play
[00:10:29] Elte gas I always play Elte gas oh man I hate going up against those and I'm
[00:10:36] apparently very good at it because for the last 18 seasons I've hit master
[00:10:40] rank every time and I only do support if you were like why do I don't know why
[00:10:46] I do this other than I can like I know that I'll play that Pokemon really well
[00:10:51] I'm very good at it it is pretty rare like that's I mean in any mobile from my
[00:10:56] experience at least and I played like three or four support is always the one
[00:11:01] that like is least yeah yeah popular I think yeah that gives you a niche
[00:11:07] that's kind of I'm the support life I I play my little cotton ball occasionally
[00:11:14] if somebody picks Blyssi and I'm like we're not having two healers I'll switch
[00:11:18] over to Serena I do say I'm allies if I feel like I really just want to make
[00:11:23] everybody angry I do not like say Bly and I've noticed that I love most playing
[00:11:29] say Bly I've only seen him like two or three times I think it's it's a bad
[00:11:36] it's bad they nerfed it to the point where nope is there's no point in
[00:11:40] playing it unless you are just there to be a troll and that is that is
[00:11:44] say Bly's life is to be a troll so you're either support or you're a troll yeah
[00:11:49] okay I did do if I'm getting if I'm having a particularly bad night and I'm
[00:11:55] just mad at everybody else which to me too for a while because yes that's
[00:11:59] just a one button you hit it and things happen and you don't have to think
[00:12:03] it's like I'm just gonna get the button whatever yeah I've I picked up from
[00:12:08] since what it's been a couple of months since we did the first part of this
[00:12:12] Pokemon unite series and I got into the subreddit for Pokemon unite and I
[00:12:17] picked up pretty quickly that Mewtwo players are are not super well respected
[00:12:23] they're not especially like it's easy mode yeah yeah yeah and I guess it's
[00:12:29] like it's not as harsh if like you're actually good at using Mewtwo but it's
[00:12:34] that Mewtwo is pretty easy to use and if you're bad and a lot of people who are
[00:12:39] new to the game well I'm not gonna say what I switch to but I have not been
[00:12:44] playing as Mewtwo in the season for the most part because I ride on the other
[00:12:48] horrible thing that's happening I would not play as Mariton because I hate it so
[00:12:53] much when I've encountered it that is my cheat that thing with the charge beam
[00:12:58] it just sits there and then it's just KOing people that seems even worse
[00:13:03] than like I think the complaint with Mewtwo is like oh every like new players
[00:13:07] like oh it's Mewtwo that's cool and like they can get away with it pretty
[00:13:10] easily but you can't also still be terrible and yeah I think most of the time
[00:13:15] it seems like the stereotype of Mewtwo players is that they are bad but then if
[00:13:20] you're good then it's like okay fine like great I mean it's fine that they've
[00:13:25] is even they've nerfed Mewtwo down to acceptable levels they have not nerfed
[00:13:31] Mariton down to go they've nerfed it already some probably not to where it
[00:13:35] needs to be to be fair but that's why Mariton Zasian and Mewtwo are all
[00:13:40] exes so that they can band them every other season to say you can't play these
[00:13:46] characters because it's so unbalanced oh I didn't realize that was yeah that's
[00:13:51] why they're exes is so that they can say these people are meant but the problem
[00:13:55] is there only band and master rank so you can have a miserable time up to
[00:14:00] master rank and then if they're banned that season then you can't then you don't
[00:14:04] run into exes anymore but it doesn't matter at that point because you're already
[00:14:08] at master rank you're already done you're just like I go I got here and now it's
[00:14:13] just for points and can you get booted in a season if you get you make it up to
[00:14:17] master can you get booted out of it or you're like you're not you're in it so
[00:14:22] they made the change recently is that once you've hit a rank you can no longer
[00:14:25] fall out of that rank so before if you got to alter a rank and you had a
[00:14:31] bunch of losses you would fall to veteran one rank now they've changed it
[00:14:35] that once you've achieved a rank you cannot fall below that rank which is
[00:14:40] both good and bad because some people the game it for the first time in like a
[00:14:44] year like Josh and I just did yeah I would not want to be in master rank if
[00:14:49] I had come back to the so you your class your beginning rank resets every
[00:14:54] season so I so the seasons are usually three months I think I think it was 90
[00:15:01] days when I started this one yeah but where you end the last rank will determine
[00:15:07] where you start this next rank so I'll end in master rank class which means when I start next
[00:15:14] season I'll be ultra five or ultra four depending on how many points I ended up with
[00:15:20] I'll probably ultra four because I got to 1400 whatever but like if you're an ultra
[00:15:25] class you will probably drop down to expert depending on it and then you build back up from
[00:15:31] there so I will drop to ultra class and before until recently like if you were to hit a series
[00:15:39] of bad things you could fall from ultra all the way down to expert which has happened to me
[00:15:44] I have as a support player when you two was incredibly popular just dropped in the rankings
[00:15:51] because they could never win but now once you're in around with the Hoy boy yeah I mean you see
[00:15:59] down down to the garbage pits losing to me because I honestly have not I don't think I've lost a
[00:16:05] game yet maybe I've lost one are you still only doing green yeah yeah green's tough but you're
[00:16:12] running into people who don't understand how to deal with greed and at these levels when
[00:16:16] you get into ultra people like the other room the other question I had I didn't I don't know if
[00:16:23] I got this mangled but one of the things I picked up on the subreddit was they Nintendo will pump
[00:16:29] in bots at some is that in that can't be in ranked right that must be when it's no it's ranked two
[00:16:35] so how does that work with the naming like you don't run into bot matches in master rank below master
[00:16:43] rank if you lose X amount of times usually it's four or five oh sometimes it's four sometimes
[00:16:49] is five you'll get what's called a bot match it will pull names and users from that exists in the
[00:16:57] game oh wow that's but they're run by the computer and you can always tell it's a bot match that if
[00:17:04] you damage them enough they immediately turn around and run back to home base that's a bot match
[00:17:09] okay also the solo mode that they entered in which is actually really great mode that's I haven't
[00:17:15] all bought solo so the most pretty fun it allows you to sort of try out other Pokemon against bots
[00:17:24] is starts out really easy but if you get to extreme level in solo mode that's pretty close to an
[00:17:31] actual match like the bots are really smart they do what they're supposed to do they'll rotate
[00:17:37] so it's a good way does this sort of like I want to see how this plays and I'm not affecting my rank
[00:17:42] and I'm not having to deal with other players like I can just sort of figure out how these attacks work
[00:17:49] how things are supposed to go and I'm still getting rewards for it because that's how you get
[00:17:53] Leon's costume and Cynthia's costume should you wish to wear those costumes I would like
[00:17:59] Cynthia's costume yeah yeah do solo gotta do some solo challenge like it's a good way to test out
[00:18:05] yeah it is who okay it's better than practice because practice is only against one other
[00:18:12] Pokemon and you're the only one on the field so you can't sort of figure out how you fit in with
[00:18:16] other other laners or jungle or support like without the other things there it's hard to get a sense
[00:18:23] of how it plays so the mud is a really good addition that allows you to practice with semi intelligent
[00:18:31] bots that will give you a hint of what it's like to be in an actual match it's another thing I learned
[00:18:36] too bad I got other Pokemon games to play you're trying to get us to play masters we got scarlet
[00:18:40] violet to play you can skip scarlet violet well I would say though like to Greg's like first point
[00:18:47] the fact that you can hop in and any matches no more than 10 minutes yeah is really refreshing about
[00:18:53] this game because like I mean I had like a antenna two had a moment with hot here's a storm but
[00:18:59] that was usually like it's a night where like I'm gonna be playing it for a while because those
[00:19:04] could be I mean there almost never 10 minutes but they could be like 15 or 20 but they could also
[00:19:09] be fucking like 40 and so you never know like having the time limit I think is one of the better
[00:19:14] innovations like this yeah yeah the time limit I think really makes it much more enjoyable for me
[00:19:21] to play like I if I play for an hour I probably gotten four matches done four matches is usually enough
[00:19:27] to climb a rank if I'm ranking so you usually have to win three and then one more to get to the
[00:19:33] next range so if you're going from ultra five to ultra four generally you have to win four matches
[00:19:38] to get there I can do that in an hour and then I'm like okay I'm super hyped up and angry at
[00:19:44] these people I'm gonna take a break right or things are going really well I'm gonna play for another
[00:19:49] hour but it is you get a lot of bang for your time investment with this game yeah and you can play
[00:19:55] it on the I still play handheld you can throw some crap on the TV it's nice yeah I
[00:20:01] I'm playing it's playing it's on the big TV I need to see I need to see everything I need to
[00:20:06] I need to follow arena I guess that's that's that's how a master plays there we go
[00:20:14] all right well we should probably talk about the lessons we've learned along the way Joshua
[00:20:20] because we played Pokemon what's this game called you night yeah like what six months ago it wasn't
[00:20:27] that long ago it was sometime this year it was it's in six months is real close maybe I don't
[00:20:33] you've been puts it around for a while now you had to go through all of legends which is a great
[00:20:38] game yeah that was a hell of a game I'm still there's there's an alpha rozerade right there and you both
[00:20:46] just ignored it never once talked about it never once mentioned how awesome I did I caught it
[00:20:52] I didn't even counter the right thing K our pal their favorite Pokemon is here in alpha form
[00:21:00] not even on a single team also I'm sorry I did you collect all the wisps no no because the prize
[00:21:08] was for it a spirit tomb oh no it's like baked yeah and then the spirit little girl or
[00:21:16] boy did it say that you get a spirit because she's part of the spirit tomb she gets transformed
[00:21:24] it she's a ghost she's a ghost also if you collect here's the other thing I think I got like
[00:21:30] a lot of them but if you collect all the I decided is a slug too right yeah I think that's what
[00:21:36] the slugs I can't get I'm so bad at you with that whole slug thing I can't even I can't even I
[00:21:40] can't even we had a side master you know you have a master of your master slugs look all I've
[00:21:48] say is if you're going to pick an actual hard theme stick to the theme well the the slugs
[00:21:56] we have to take a break from a time we're gonna go back in the notes a little bit and look at
[00:22:02] Tanner's final team uh and and run him down and you tell me what's not a slug great okay
[00:22:10] well and you're gonna dispute the slug the scientist with PhD in the scientist's justification was
[00:22:18] doctor like what's this spherical cow sito if you strip away everything that makes a slug
[00:22:24] then these could be slugs that was that was the that was the end outcome of that
[00:22:30] west c and e c gastron both slugs yeah still eggs no yes no it's a snake and no that's a snail
[00:22:40] no go okay we did go into that yeah man of fee no yes it's a lot of sprites it is not it's a water sprite
[00:22:50] that's it is not also no that is a computer virus you're a computer virus your mobs a computer virus
[00:22:59] you're all over the map on this one those are all slugs yeah we we had uh there was another slug
[00:23:05] scientist uh uh you the user was jlay f i believe on our subreddit who doctor uh who weighed in on
[00:23:16] the slug Scientology is Scientology slug Scientology is a lot of other thing we can't get into that
[00:23:24] on this episode uh but this doctor also said steelix was a no but man of fee yes
[00:23:30] outrageous goodra we know about the snail thing but that's like an asterisk both the gastro-dance
[00:23:36] obviously porigon z was a no also hard no but i feel like none of you ever have even like
[00:23:43] seen a slug that's what they love i mean i haven't seen a slug in a few years i would say so maybe
[00:23:49] it's like have you seen a slug ever in your life that is the first question here's the other thing
[00:23:54] the thugs here's the other thing if you collect all of the unknown they start appearing in that cave
[00:24:03] and you can hunt an alpha shiny unknown d if you were really actually an unknown hunter d
[00:24:11] i do like the d i would have like that but i i wasn't josh i don't know if you heard but
[00:24:19] soren over california actually pulled ahead of yes i heard i ended with but i'm saying if you
[00:24:24] collect all of them they start spawning in there and you can spawn alphas so you can get a shiny alpha
[00:24:31] unknown d shiny is a little lazy i would say no it is like blue it's just like blue
[00:24:37] blue yeah
[00:24:40] woo all right that was the last game we're not playing we're playing
[00:24:43] put them on your night put them on your night in the aos region joshua tell me about some of the
[00:24:48] some of the lessons you've you've learned since last time any updates any any new teammates
[00:24:54] new mains i did uh i moved on from i still mix in you two occasionally but my main for this
[00:25:02] season has been krammeront krammeront the cram i love krammerant because they're so easy to kill
[00:25:09] well run up to a krammerant belch on him a couple of times if you don't know what you're doing
[00:25:13] and all their little gold orbs but i think to be playing krammerant will which i did and also i
[00:25:18] switched it has a chef outfit so in the lore of this it's that bree you know heard about this
[00:25:25] chef green ring and she's competitive so she had to switch over to like she went to like you know
[00:25:31] the culinary institute of aos island she got this krammerant and now they're cooking duo so they're
[00:25:37] going up against chef green ring and the neon evangel on gredan or whatever the hell you were calling
[00:25:43] them um but uh i think uh i mean the way that you play it is you have to just hang back especially
[00:25:51] until like you get i mean i play with the surf build i started it i was doing like hurricane
[00:25:59] but i started mixing up with like surf plus um what is it the uh aerial ace whatever the feather one
[00:26:06] is yeah where he he shoots like three i think feathers out and then he pops back a little bit so you
[00:26:12] can use that as another way of like uh escaping pretty easily so it's more of like yeah and that's
[00:26:18] one that heals you i think run in do a bunch of damage run back out and probably kill some like creeps
[00:26:25] the yeah and that went to air slash and that one if you get it to level 11 heals you which makes
[00:26:31] krammerant a lot harder to deal with yeah so that's what i started doing the past couple of weeks uh
[00:26:36] and i also just love the um if you time it's um it's unite move well which i'm also i should have
[00:26:44] just pulled this up so i know what the names of all these things are gatling gulp missile yeah
[00:26:49] gatling gulp missiles so it just plants itself and you can't move or do anything but then it's just
[00:26:54] like popping off rapidly uh and if you get it so it's great for like when everyone is clustering around
[00:27:00] requaza and then you can just pop you know like so two things if you have the escape button
[00:27:09] you can use that while in krammerance unite to pop forward or backwards so if you have it and
[00:27:17] you're firing it and people are running out you can pop towards where they're running and they
[00:27:22] are stuck in it and have to run out further so that's a strat for that one that's a good
[00:27:26] i don't find her i don't have that if you are playing with elapras and lapras does their unite
[00:27:33] where you're riding on their back you can then launch krammerance unite so you're basically a gatling
[00:27:39] gun on the back of a surfing lapras that's running around that's that's the coolest and kind of
[00:27:46] cutest thing i've ever heard you can look at video flooring i don't think i've seen elapras
[00:27:52] yeah lapras isn't as popular right now i yeah i think i've never encountered one they gave me one
[00:27:57] yeah they'll give you one in the menu hell it was like hey do you want to lapras here's it's on your
[00:28:01] team now yeah but um i don't think i've run it yet there's a lot of i tried out i think you hell
[00:28:06] seems like it's gotten worse since last oh it is the menus are the worst it's absolutely insane
[00:28:14] it's like and i don't know like some of these things i feel like i haven't even used i mean i
[00:28:18] know we got the basics like the gems and the coins the tickets but then there was like maritans
[00:28:23] sandwich trail or whatever like the energy rewards i don't know what's going on with like the tank
[00:28:30] that you you can attach to it uh you got the the anniversary ball thing like i know that you can
[00:28:37] and it's laid out so confi- like the the ui is just absolutely ready to realize terrible and they never
[00:28:43] tell you what like i never know what to be optimizing for when it's like oh you could use gems or
[00:28:49] coins or tickets or whatever like some of them are like gems either or it's like i don't know what
[00:28:54] i don't know what's the most valuable and they don't never use gems never use gems don't
[00:28:58] don't pay them money just don't use gems gems are hard currency that's actual physical money
[00:29:04] the only way you can even get those so i have remnants of that because like i bought the the chef
[00:29:09] yeah for example i had to so the maritans sandwich thing is the way to get maritan for free
[00:29:14] that's the board game basically where if you get enough sand if you get a thousand sandwiches
[00:29:20] you can get them right on license for free i have like 200 yeah i mean i play this
[00:29:27] i have played this so i i have that's how i got me to for free so i got so i should for free and
[00:29:31] this is how i got maritan for free because i play every day in a complete the board game and
[00:29:36] get all the sandwiches or whatever it is and then you turn them in to get the license this morning
[00:29:40] i couldn't even find did they stop it i was like it yeah the board game is done oh i could
[00:29:45] even get a free maritan has has left it ended at the end of middle of march i didn't get it
[00:29:51] yeah i didn't use my sandwiches at all i could could have cashed them in maybe what am i going to
[00:29:56] do with all these sandwiches well i got now oh good at least i'm gonna take care of them okay so
[00:30:03] don't use james coins and tickets are where it's at i got that coins tickets are where it's at do
[00:30:08] i need to feel fill the tanks on that energy rewards thing that doesn't seem to i don't really
[00:30:13] get what that does does that give me so more ways and the reward allows you to try turn in to get
[00:30:19] emblems and emblems are ways that you can customize your play style i did want to talk about that
[00:30:24] because i've spent a lot of time min maxing my like yeah well roulette min maxing is last time we
[00:30:31] talked you were you were anti yeah i got into that i think yeah no emblems are their game changing
[00:30:38] they're not game breaking and you don't need them to do well in the night it just helps
[00:30:44] you to lean into a play style that you like and it does give you some advantages but there are
[00:30:50] disadvantages to them i think they've really balanced the emblem system really well like they're
[00:30:54] pretty good at allowing you to customize how you play your character and what it's good at when
[00:31:00] it's bad at yeah that's what i like is it is just getting them all i mean it's the only thing you
[00:31:04] spend energy on you'll get yeah that's all i want to mount and then that's all you do because the
[00:31:09] fashion items that are in there are bad yeah i learned it all back quickly yeah they're all bad
[00:31:14] they often will put pokemon licenses in there too right and i was also like i play like
[00:31:20] basically the same Pokemon every time so i don't need a bunch of random outfits joshua let's
[00:31:27] take a break okay no tricks this time no tricks i for either of you let's just go take a break
[00:31:32] let's come back in a minute let's keep talking about pokemon you're a real ally Tanner
[00:31:41] welcome back bug what do we call them on this on the unites um orb what
[00:31:50] like orb collectors orb suckers or suckers is good welcome back orb suckers this is experience share
[00:31:57] we are playing through pokemon unite for the second time this year actually it was last year
[00:32:03] it's been really been a while joh i guess so but it's like part of my it's worked its way into
[00:32:11] i mean obviously i'm not playing every day nor am i as good as master Greg here uh but um
[00:32:19] it's worked its way into my like people routine master Greg over and over again i played it
[00:32:24] like even when i didn't know when we if and when we were going to do this episode i've been playing
[00:32:29] it at least a couple of times a week couple of days a week it's fun yeah it's fun and it's
[00:32:34] it fills the need that uh heroes of the storm had traditionally filled for me where it was like
[00:32:41] i just need to like crush some as you just stop on somebody for a while and you're it yeah
[00:32:48] let's do our hit pokemon aos island unite segment that we only do when we're on the aos islands
[00:32:55] and we only do when we're chef green ring and i apparently now chef brevander brevander
[00:33:01] ridiculous that's a great chef name terrible it's a good name for a breeder it's a bear bad name
[00:33:07] for a chef good for both breeder chef breeder chef brevander
[00:33:12] uh uh uh that's a good one we don't have to touch that one the segment's called match mayhem
[00:33:23] yes match mayhem and it's the matches we met along the way
[00:33:28] Joshua actually you know what fuck you i talked to you all this year Greg yes uh when you're playing
[00:33:35] first of all you said elder goss and i so elder goss elder gosses may number one rider die love
[00:33:44] play it all the time uh then i switched to serena and then i'll sometimes do say boy but
[00:33:51] it's serena serena it's like uh the it's the Mickey Minaj one yeah she got the boots
[00:33:57] oh right that's how she looks she looks glorious she's walking out there strutting up on down those
[00:34:03] lanes and being like i don't think so stop stop stop how could i forget hotchi matchy when i am playing
[00:34:10] as gredin i always plays gredin when i main someone i really made them yeah your your rider die
[00:34:18] it can be all supports lined up on that like q and i'm just like all right gredin here we go
[00:34:24] except there's a couple pokemon that i truly tread going up against uh mcchamp gengar both seem to
[00:34:33] kill me really quickly despite how many times i'm belching on them so i mostly run away from them
[00:34:38] there's a couple pokemon that i kill very easily cramer ant for instance when you're playing as elder goss
[00:34:44] or serena who do you like to go up against so everything's bad for elder goss well right like i
[00:34:51] can not be you said behind something i just hide behind my friends uh and so i do the leaf storm
[00:34:59] and then the bubble cotton guard bubble so i make paths to let my people run in fast
[00:35:06] so that they uh consume him to get the threat that's coming at me um i would say the things
[00:35:13] the ones that i hate dealing with that i think are hard for elder goss to deal with are blastoys
[00:35:20] and trevenant they gain a lot of trevenant trevenin tree wins games hands down it tree
[00:35:30] tree wins games but trevenin has rate against any team that has a trevenin is i would say pretty low
[00:35:38] it has so much healing and elder goss just can't oh yeah can't do the damage to
[00:35:46] the you just get stuck in this eternal cycle of i'm healing myself and then they're taking my health
[00:35:50] and it just never ends it's just like this is eventually one of us is gonna wear down and it's
[00:35:55] almost always elder goss because i don't have as much hp i love when cinderaceys think they can take
[00:36:03] me down and they are very wrong they're always very wrong about that they're a little ball
[00:36:09] yeah they're just like beat up on especially i'm gonna take you down and i'm like that's what
[00:36:14] you think i'm generally pretty good at against a lot of the glass cannons uh i can take down guard
[00:36:20] of our pretty quick uh because i can do my little dart to get inside where they're aiming their
[00:36:27] psychic blasts and then be like i'm just gonna slow you down the thing about elder goss's passive is
[00:36:32] once i've hit something three times their speed is cut down so they can't run away and so if i have
[00:36:38] if i'm with a support greed and could i could run so greed and can greed and can usually get away
[00:36:45] and usually does uh unless they're usually they have to fire out their berries to do so and i'm
[00:36:51] really good at eating up their berries before they do because i know what you're doing i know you're
[00:36:55] trying to run away from me and this is not gonna happen it'll work for most other people it does
[00:37:01] i'm like no i know i have my best friend is a greed and main and plays when the lot close
[00:37:09] it's not you my best friend knows what a slug is uh that's one of your um you got to that's
[00:37:16] sort of the qualifications to be one of your friends yeah absolutely the whole slug test that we take
[00:37:23] if i'm up if i have zarina zarina is difficult to play because she's kind of
[00:37:30] she's until you get her up high she's really easy to damage a lot yeah she's pretty on those
[00:37:38] big woods but i don't think i've seen what like it's funny that there's so many like i'm looking at
[00:37:43] the roster now and like there's like there's 50 there's a number that i just never even encountered
[00:37:49] uh but yeah but generally zarina does good against things that are arranged so if i can get in
[00:37:56] range i think's like grammar ant guard of war um espion a little bit espion packs a punch but if
[00:38:04] i can get in there i can usually stop and take them out espion is very problematic for me when
[00:38:10] i'm uh zarina does not do good things against tougher melee so buzz wall my champ is always rough
[00:38:18] because of gangar's maneuverability it's hard to pin gangar down so you have to
[00:38:25] should have wait for gangar to stop being able to run underground and have that speed boost once
[00:38:32] that i can if i gain taunt that out of them i can take a gangar down but it's hard to not have
[00:38:38] them jump into the ground to disappear samford it's gangar and machin they're both like unstoppable
[00:38:43] for me when i saw him i just had to like run yeah they're tough because they have good ways of
[00:38:49] a controlling where they are or controlling where you are so machamp is great at getting you away
[00:38:56] from things that will heal you unexpectedly and then just continue to pummel you and because gangar
[00:39:02] can dive underground like you can be attacking and they'll go underground and you're like i don't
[00:39:07] know where you're gonna pop up because i can't see you talon flame has that same issue except unlike
[00:39:14] gangar talon flames has a circle when they're flying so you know where they're gonna land
[00:39:19] oh okay and you can kind of deal with it gangar doesn't have that gangar's like i have no idea where
[00:39:24] you are and you're gonna pop up and you're yeah you're not in front of my belch
[00:39:29] you're at a pop up and eat my butt and i'm not happy about that that's why people my area is in my
[00:39:34] butt if i'm playing sable i i everything's my enemy sable i is a piece of paper that relies on being
[00:39:42] invisible and it's it's a sniper you get in you do two things and then you run because everybody's
[00:39:48] gonna kill you everything's a problem everything's a problem for sable i Josh i was gonna say i
[00:39:55] mean Greg covered a couple of them like espion is tough for kramerant to deal with i didn't i would
[00:40:03] say number one though was like buzz wall i just like buzz walls talk these days it seems like broken
[00:40:11] like if you get cornered at least when you're like if it's a real you know like a glass can and
[00:40:16] like kramerant i don't i think i've never survived i don't even know if i killed one except while
[00:40:22] using my um my unite move yeah it's tough because they have leech life so they'll get you away from
[00:40:29] your goal and then they'll drink your health so you can't like you can't damage them faster than
[00:40:35] their drinking your life if you manage to be able to survive both of those things which is pretty
[00:40:40] rare then you usually can turn around on them because they are pretty glass canony but those two
[00:40:46] moves if i think i hit my ball if you're not generally coming out of that balls wall interaction
[00:40:52] it's been very rare than i have have you have you been on a team of all evis yet to see what happens
[00:41:00] no that sounds like it's a light breathing it would love that so it's kind of her thing if you're
[00:41:06] on if your entire team is evis all the evis get a stat boost oh i love that easter egg and every time
[00:41:16] one of you scores a goal everybody sends up a heart they just get a little heart above their heads
[00:41:21] to say we did it that's very cute i love it so cute are all of the evee illusions in there
[00:41:27] no not yet we don't have the bad ones uh jolteon and flaryon and vaporian yet i like jolteon
[00:41:36] it's weird they've been working sort of backwards because we have everything except for the first
[00:41:41] gen so we have silvian lefion glaci on umbrion and espion i don't know why because those three are the
[00:41:51] least attractive of all i mean they're not as cool as they are no but he likes flaryon flaryon
[00:41:57] is always okay flaryon okay good i mean it's fine if you don't love jolteon but i think we could
[00:42:02] all agree flary on as far as the weakest yeah that always has been great let's uh do that
[00:42:10] sometime oh wait we can't because you're master and we're just slowly experts i mean we said
[00:42:15] i'm a veteran i could get up there we can go into we can go into the nightmare cesspool that is
[00:42:21] standard ranked matches um it's awful it's awful in there and i wouldn't do any of the other stuff i'm
[00:42:29] not a panic parader i'm not a panic parade is so fun though i love panic parade i have not liked it
[00:42:35] anytime i try i love it it scares like i just get like overwhelmed very quickly the thing is panic if
[00:42:43] you play it enough it gets so easy because you buy the attack boosting you buy the speed boost and
[00:42:49] then nothing can survive oh yeah the problem is is that people will play not attackers in that mode
[00:42:56] and there's no reason to play anything other than an attacker in that mode because all you need
[00:43:01] to do is attack and you need to attack quickly that's my problem because i'm only ever playing right
[00:43:05] yeah greenin does not do well in there mute you does okay but like the ones you want to play
[00:43:12] in panic parader cinder ace and deciduay they just rip everything to shreds yeah deciduay when
[00:43:19] somebody knows how to use that one pretty good is tough now but also deciduay if you can get
[00:43:25] in close that thing is what tissue paper i encountered a dojrio recently which i'd never seen
[00:43:33] and they were just like owning the whole court people who play dojrio know how to play dojre
[00:43:40] and are always a problem because that thing moves so fast and can get around anywhere on that map
[00:43:47] when they want to be there's like hi i'm here yeah like where did you come from there was like a
[00:43:51] character in hot that was like three little Vikings and you could like move the whole
[00:43:57] lot of things all over the place they were also annoying but also like impossible to play
[00:44:02] yeah if that's gonna be failings failing this is going to have the ability to leave parts of
[00:44:06] the failings behind an area is to attack things as they come you can break apart it's so exciting
[00:44:11] i'm excited for that one i'm not going to be good at that that's that's too much for me to manage
[00:44:16] master like yeah yeah well yeah you're only an expert you need some more time in the trenches
[00:44:22] to become a veteran so did you say only an expert uh because a lot of people go to school for a
[00:44:28] long time to become experts at things Greg i think that's it for us in the aos islands anything else
[00:44:35] you want to talk about any favorite outfits that you saw hollow fits that you saw short Greg
[00:44:40] my i wear the uh uh mountain eddie dame eldegas outfit with the gorgeous big hat and the quilted
[00:44:49] that is my outfit i love it yeah it is it is countis who's gonna hit an old grandma eldegas people do
[00:44:59] it's just straight up really nice yeah it's so cute oh that's very sweet it's cute and i love it
[00:45:07] i like the del fox dancer outfits really good i think that's a solid one i think it looks really great
[00:45:15] wow i'm gonna say some of these eldegas outfits yeah space style eldegas is pretty good
[00:45:20] yeah flower style is back i don't like the flower style i am 100% down and abbey old old lady outfit
[00:45:28] yeah i like it all the zarina ones are boring i don't like any of those arena ones well if i could just
[00:45:34] say one quick thing uh when we're talking about outfits do we want to talk about
[00:45:42] but champs outfits oh welcome back admentaner you mean uh rough trade mcjam

[00:46:01] it's like leather dandy or this old tiny one with the top hat that's like
[00:46:08] yeah busting out of everything look never it feels like an opportunity to kind of like
[00:46:12] accessorize a little bit you know like your glasses your little boy shorts on
