SPEAKER_01 0:45

Well, this is episode two of season two of Pokemon Roundtable. The chalked region. I thought episode one was a smashing success. We crushed it. We created a new region. A new city.

SPEAKER_01 1:16

Okay. So we created those two new Pokemon.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

Based off of an armadello.

SPEAKER_00 1:26

SPEAKER_01 1:35

Alright, let's do it. Starters.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

How many are we gonna create?

SPEAKER_00 1:40

There's three every region. Every game. Okay. Single dummy!

SPEAKER_01 1:46

So you create two and I create one?

SPEAKER_00 1:49

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Okay, I vote you create your two first so that helps be create mine.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

We did this last season where I created the grass one, then you created the fire one.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

Okay. I'm always the sucker for the fire types. Those are my favorite.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

Okay, so do we first starter is a grass type.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 2:14

Okay, what are we thinking?

SPEAKER_00 2:16

So sorry, we had to do some research. And so we're gonna start with the horse starter. Sound cool?

SPEAKER_01 2:27

So for the grass starter, you're thinking horse themed?

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Okay.

unknown 2:33

I'm not gonna bring it to the EOI bus yet.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

So maybe it's like a little cob. It's a baby horse cob uh.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

It's not a calf, it's uh I don't know, a baby horse.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Okay. So maybe bey horse.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Okay. Love it. Oh it's called a foal. Oh a baby horse is called a foal.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Wait, foliage.

Foliage spelled F-O-A-L I-A-G-E.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

And it's like a little horse. And it's all green and it has little muddy paws. And it has like a little leaf popping out of his head.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Okay. Love it.

SPEAKER_00 3:38

Now we're gonna move on to the fire stutter.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:43

Fire stutter. Dad, you're making the fires.

SPEAKER_01 3:47

Okay, so I'm thinking rattlesnake. Lots of rattlesnakes in Texas and Oklahoma. We're doing and we're doing parts of New Mexico, right?

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Definitely rattlesnakes in New Mexico. Um is rattler too generic of a name?

SPEAKER_00 4:07

Too generic.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Uh rattleby.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

What does rattle bee mean?

SPEAKER_01 4:13

I don't know, it just sounded kind of cute, like baby and rattle. Rattleby.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Um how about emberattle?

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Ember rattle? Mm-hmm. Okay. I don't see why not. Ember rattle. With just one R in the middle.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Yeah. Isn't that a cute name?

SPEAKER_01 4:38

I love it.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

Okay, now it's time to make it so water starter.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

So we're gonna base it off of a North American river or otter. So like let's make it like bipedal. It's all blue. What about navy blue paws? And then it's gonna have a little teal flint knife attached to its tummy.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

Okay. Can we name it auto? You can say no.

SPEAKER_00 5:15

Flint Auto Matic.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

O T T O Maddock.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

How about flanotter? No, actually flannotter. Yeah, flannotter.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Flynnotter.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

No, flintotter.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Flintotter. Okay, it's starting to make sense. Okay. Is that one word or two?

SPEAKER_00 5:44

One word. Every single start is like that. Now the time to make the evolution for foliage.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

And it's gonna have like a bigger flint knife. It's gonna be semi-bipedal.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Oh the flint knife is for the water starter.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Oh oh oh.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Sorry, just here to keep you on track, big guy. Okay, so we're evolving the foliage.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

Yeah. So what if it just gets like semi-bipedal? It has so here in our stay at Santa Fe, we've seen quite a lot of bamboo.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

So maybe it has like bamboo protrusions that make it semi-bipedal.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

And then it has flowers on its back.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

Like its mane turns to flowers.

SPEAKER_00 6:51

Uh-huh. And the leaf on its head starts like getting more leaves. And its paws aren't so muddy, but its chin is muddy. It's gonna be cute.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

Definitely gonna be cute.

SPEAKER_00 7:06

Its name is gonna be Bambours.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Bamborus?

SPEAKER_00 7:14

No, Bambourse.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

B-A-M-B-O-O-R-S. Oh, like a horse. Bambourse, that makes sense. Uh. Uh-huh. Okay, so we're going from foliage to bambourse. It's got some bamboo legs and a flower mane and a muddy nose.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

No, a muddy chin.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

Muddy chin. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

And bamboo paws.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Bamboo paws.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

I make it send me by a peatle. Now time for embryo. It does. Wait, we never said what emburado looks like.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

Well, I think it looks like a snake.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

What if he's like a little red snake with a little flame or something?

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Or what if it was turquoise colored?

SPEAKER_00 7:59

No.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

Okay, red, you wanna go red?

SPEAKER_00 8:02

And then he has a little flame pattern on his underbelly and on his tail.

unknown 8:09

Flame pattern.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

No, we don't put that in.

unknown 8:13

Sticky notes.

SPEAKER_00 8:15

We don't have to know what it looks like or for the recap.

SPEAKER_01 8:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:22

So just delete all that.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

So what does Emberattle evolve into?

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Uh well, we could give it two rattles, two heads, a bigger body.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

How about diamond flare?

SPEAKER_01 8:42

Diamond flare?

SPEAKER_00 8:44

Dye.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Like its skin is dyed?

SPEAKER_00 8:54

No diamond flare.

SPEAKER_01 8:57

Dye evolves to diamond flare.

SPEAKER_00 8:59

No. Diamond.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

Okay, how do you spell that? I'm a little confused.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

You got it right.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

Sorry, buddy. I don't know what that big brain's thinking. You're always one step ahead of me, and you're just trying to keep pace. Diamond flare. Okay. Love it.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Maybe it starts having like little blue diamonds on its back.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

And then when it gets mad, they flare up into f into fire.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Ooh, dig it.

SPEAKER_00 9:40

And on its head, it grows a little like red, like um some like hair.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

And then it has um okay, one question.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Do snakes have hair? I feel like they have scales.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

No, like the fire like resembles hair.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Gotcha. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

And then the fire on its tail begins to resemble a rattle, and it has like little beads around beads of fire around it, and then it shakes its tail. Fire.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

That'd be cute.

SPEAKER_01 10:28

That'd be very cute.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Now time for the water.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

And terrifying. If I was on the other side of it. We'd not want to battle this thing.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

Time for the water setter.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

So what if he has like we're talking about flint otter here.

unknown 10:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Flintotter.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

Flint otter.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

It's flint knife starts to resemble more of an arrowhead. It gets pretty. It gets it's white blue, so it gets a little bit dark darker, but not as dark as navy blue, so we keep those navy blue ones, and its fur resembles a bucket hat.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

Okay. Talk about cute.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

And the and it has white spots around the eyes.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

And then its tail grows like a little bit longer, and on the end, it's like a big circle for a paddling.

SPEAKER_01 11:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

And its new name shall be.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

What are you thinking?

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Um, maybe like. Um, this is hard. The maybe like Otterhead? No. A quarter.

SPEAKER_01 12:07

Oh, I love that. That may be the best name you've ever come up with. A quarter. Like that.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

That's so cute.

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Now we have to evolve the starters once more.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Okay. So let's go back to grass type. And we've gone from foliage to bamborst.

SPEAKER_00 12:34

To EO horses.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Okay, how'd we come up with EO horses?

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Eohippus. Plus horse.

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Yeah, because Eohippus is a prehistoric extinct animal that was similar to a horse. I love that.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

And that's gonna this Pokemon is gonna bring the secondary theme, which is which is I don't know what is just a second. Gonna be it's gonna be types of mountains.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 13:20

EO horses is gonna no, actually no, not types of mountains. It is based on a eo hippus and vines. No, actually, hold on. Eohorses is based on an eohippus and Indian patterns.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

Okay. Like Native American?

SPEAKER_00 14:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:03

So that's the group theme, Indian patterns.

SPEAKER_01 14:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Okay, so Eohorasis is water ground. I mean grass ground.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

And its signature move is Should it have something to do with a kick?

SPEAKER_01 14:35

Like a horse would kick.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Or Flora kick.

unknown 14:43

Flora kick.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

I love that. Because it kind of keeps the grass theme too.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Uh-huh. And then it looks like a little it's bigger, its bamboo stalks are thicker. And it has little indie little dark green Indian patterns on its bamboo. And its tail grows a little leafy resemblance. Goes bigger with a leaf, which is a leaf. And it and there's flowers floating around it. And its mane. The flowers get um like forced together and they flow into the air. And its leaf hair drapes down to look like ears. And that's and it grows a much air more aerodynamic face.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

I love this.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

Okay, now time to evolve Diamond Snake.

SPEAKER_01 15:56

No.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

Okay, Diamond Flare.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

Um two.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

What if it had kind of a Gyarados type, like big and like wavy?

SPEAKER_00 16:28

Oh yeah. And it gave Indian patterns on its giant flame rattle.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

What if you could write it like Gyarados?

SPEAKER_00 16:42

Yeah, you can ride it. But it's gonna not be like more of a drag y look, it's gonna be more of a serpentine look.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

And then it has flares coming out of its whole entire rib cage.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

And then black fire along its back.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

In its face is more is more fiery.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

Can it have big fangs?

SPEAKER_00 17:11

Made of fire. Oh yeah. Big fangs. Like big, big.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

Are they poisonous?

SPEAKER_00 17:18

Uh-huh. And that brings it to its type. Fire poison.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

Wait, did we come up with a name for it?

SPEAKER_00 17:26

It evolves into serpent serpent fire.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Serpent fang?

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Yes, serpent fang.

unknown 17:42

Wow, I'm tired.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

Serpent fang?

SPEAKER_00 17:46

SPEAKER_00 17:51

How about ultra fang?

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Poison fire?

SPEAKER_00 17:56

No, ultra fang. Love this. And it has a 50-50 shot of poisoning the target.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

A quadr.

SPEAKER_01 18:32

A quarter's cute.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

It's gonna become quadrupedal.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:38

Its tail is gonna get like a little bit fluffier like a beaver tail.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:45

And then it's just gonna have arrowheads surrounding its head with Indian carvings on it.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

What about we call it Quadr?

SPEAKER_00 19:38

No, it's two words. It's two words.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

And so basically it sends its arrowheads up into the sky and sends it down. Oh yeah, and its bucket cap turns into more of an army hat.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

Love it.

SPEAKER_00 20:00

And then it shoots all its arrowheads into the sky, and on the next turn, they all strike down the opponent.

SPEAKER_01 20:11
