Ditto

It feels like yesterday when I recorded the episode.

But I did one all about the possibilities for Ditto from Pokopia being a character in the next Smash Brothers game.

Considering how popular that series is, you know, the love of Gen 1 characters in Smash, and looking at the fact that Villager was the first character that was added for Smash 4, I think it'd be really cool to sort of do a parallel for that and have Ditto be the first character revealed for the next Smash game if we ever end up getting one.

I don't know, I just feel like having a Pokemon and having something as iconic as Ditto, at least on the first party side, would be really cool.

If not that, then I think, like, another major third party character, maybe, like, Leon from Resident Evil could be a really good one.

Or even, like, a secondary character from an existing franchise.

Throw Tifa in there.

I know she's probably busy doing Street Fighter right now, but still, something along those lines I think would be the first one.

Yeah, true.

Um, we, we've been talking about how, like, Ditto would be perfect.

Um, so, like, they've kinda, like, ran through a new iteration of a lot of the classic characters that they would use.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, you know, while it might be surprising to see a list like this, like do that well, but when the coin flips go well and the sleep flips go in your favor, you know, some things could happen here.

Yeah, we also see the Ditto as well, which, you know, there's a lot of good different Dittos, but this one is playing the...

Sudden Transformation Ditto, which allows you to copy any attacks of your basic Pokemon that are in your discard pile.

So Ditto can act as Cramorant if it's in the discard.

It can act as that Komala or even the Thumping Snore Snorlax.

You know, depending on how much energy you want to get onto it.

Your opponent would stay asleep.

Yeah.

no she wasn't no i don't yeah so yukimori did i think signings and she did um the the workshop

yeah they made a sculpted a ditto i think

That's such a cop-out as, like, a Pokemon you can make is Ditto.

Yeah, but Ditto's all

the rave.

Yeah,

At the same time, I get it, because they don't want people to walk away disappointed because it was, like, too complicated to make it.

That's fair.

shot.

Ditto.

Ditto I do want to put in there.

I would say Ditto CTR.

Crazy to not put Magic Carp on there.

The ultimate derp.

And Alakazam in C tier.

Somebody in the live stream one time, and it stuck with my brain every single time.

That modern nostalgia forming is in real time, and that seems to be the theme of the set.

There were other reveals too, for Coco, Slowpoke, Marill, Kangaskhan, Alolan Executor, Scraggy, Ditto, plus trainer cards like Ultra Ball, Poke Pad, and Switch.

Those trainer cards are illustrated by longtime artist Yuka Mori, whose clay style work goes way back in the hobby.

So even the artists are being used to bridge eras.

No.

A Metamon demo has been released.

What is Metamon?

A medical-themed monster-taming RPG that takes place inside of a human body.

Okay, so Interspace Pokemon.

Osmosis Mom.

Okay.

There are 188 Metamon to collect and an evolution system.

Yes, Amanda?

Do you know of anybody who got that Ditto carrying case? That was a hot commodity.

No.

Oh, you haven't seen this? It's, like, a Ditto Switch 2 carrying case.

It's huge.

Switch 2 carrying case.

Can you scroll through the photos?

Yeah.
