Ho-Oh

a few years ago, but it's actually just a themed deck card from the third generation.

There's a Ho-Oh and a Lugia.

I just think they look really good.

They're from EX Deoxys or something like that.

but so like let's talk about that real quick the legends it's interesting because we actually got kind of like a reference to the legend cards coming out in standard now in the delta rain set you've got the legend stadiums which all suck by the way pokemon is just printing bad card after bad card after bad card it's like kind of insane the legend stadiums are atrocious it's the every time they get two for one dude it is the great reset but but like conceptually the legend stadiums suck like every time they get countered like you're like i have to get two together put it into play and my opponent could just put whatever one card they want out there to counter it it's like the conceptually is a terrible card design It's miserable.

But anyways, the Legend Pokemon are much different because they basically were like big basic EX Pokemon, but they were balanced because you had to find these two halves of them and piece them together in your hand before you could put them into play.

They were the format's only two prize Pokemon, right? There were no other two prize Pokemon except for the Legends.

They give up two prizes when they get knocked out.

And then Noble Victories introduces some stronger Pokemon.

And then, of course, next Destiny is, like...

Nothing is the same in the Pokemon TCG ever again after next destiny's releases with those giant Pokemon EX.

So, so yeah, this is in, in a lot of ways, I, I agree.

Sorry, guys.

Now for my ten, Ho-Oh.

Okay, I swear some of these ones you just are making up.

Ho-oh, because I'm thinking, you know, big bird Pokemon.

either? Damn, no.

That's crazy.

Well, anyway, Ho-Oh, big giant bird, big wings.

I think he can fling that ball out there to my to-be-named wings and centers, maybe in a fullback slotting in.

Weren't they in Johto? I swear they were in Johto.

Ho-Oh and Lugia are in Johto.

Lugia.

Okay.

Can we talk about something else? Is it-

I mean, can we get Ho-Oh involved or something? I don't know.

Either way-

Where's the Ho-Oh love?

Either way, we're gonna talk about what happened with the Lugia, and then also we're gonna talk about another Lugia trade situation that went down with con- couple content creators, vendors in the space, and, uh, we'll talk again.

This is kind of a recurring theme over and over again, this idea of honoring deals, deals in general, trades, all that good stuff.

I just picked that 'cause I was like, "This is the generation that I want to play." I've got the Game Boy Color emulator here, um, and this is, like, the kinda probably the best version of it.

There's some extra stuff in the post-game, you know, when you're, you get your legendary dogs in that one, and then you've got Lugia and Ho-Oh, they big mad bird things that were on the boxes.

Aye.

Then Crystal, I think, adds in, like, a secret third thing [laughs] that you can then go-

Oh my gosh, that is adorable.

In s- uh, Space World '97 demo, Hoothoot appears to be based on the Pokemon known as Ho-Oh.

It has facial markings resembling freckles and a single pendulum-like tail feather.

Here's that picture.

Is that Ho-Oh?

Very... [laughs] It's very tiny.

Yeah.

I mean, well, I mean, well, I mean, well, we've gotten, so the last two So for Lugia, we got the big Silver Tempest Lugia IR, which honestly I'm not the biggest fan of the card art, but it's Lugia and everyone loves it.

And then you got Ethan's Ho-Oh, which actually I like that art a lot.

I just wish Ethan wasn't in it.

I just wish it was just Ho-Oh.

You know what I mean? I like some of it sometimes and stuff like that, but I would have killed for a really cool Ho-Oh SIR card versus just Ethan being in the picture with Ho-Oh.

It's still a pretty card, don't get me wrong, but I'd like the centerpiece to be, you know, Ethan.

I'm Ethan, fuck, not Ethan, freaking.

I would like the centerpiece to be Ho-Oh.
