Noctowl

Both are Pokemon based on the skunk.

And then we also have the owl-based Noctowl.

I'm going to hold up...

I actually have the Pokemon card of this little guy right here for our video viewers.

Yeah, so then Clutch is also kind of strong.

Like Clutch the Fez, Clutch the Noctowl if they had to use it.

Or was it not running Noctowl? No, I think it was, right? Yeah.

It was a 1-1 Noctowl.

Yeah, it was a 1-1 Noctowl.

So I think there's ways to play the matchup.

I don't think it's favored at all.

Hoothoot.

Noctowl.

We have not done this line.

I love-

[laughs]

[laughs] Oh my God.

And Now- Noctowl is, ah, Noctowl's a great design, too.

Uh, honestly for, for it being, I don't know, for it not being extravagant and, like, super colorful and w- have a lot going on, it is just, like, an intimidating presence.

Um, certainly.

And then we're losing, um, losing Noctowl as well.

Right.

Are there other ones I'm forgetting?

Noctowl.

I mean, it doesn't see a ton of play, but Tatsugiri, um-

That's true, yeah

But I think that the bigger thing is the fun options, which is an important part of the game.

Yeah, yeah.

And the big stands out, of course, like the Noctowl inclusion.

It's not like anything we haven't heard about before.

And then also the eSwitches.

Got the Basimian in here.

Unfair.

Oh, cut the Noctowl.

He's got the Noctowl.

Um- Yeah ... and, and what's interesting is, and maybe this has been brought up before, or I'm sure it has, but I like that the show sticks to the convention established by the games of like you can only carry six Pokemon with you at a time.

Um, and so in order to get Snorlax, he has to transfer his Noctowl to Oak, which Oak is, is psyched about because, um, and I think this was established, uh, uh, Ash's Noctowl is a sh- is a shiny, so, so he wants to res- so he wants to research that.

So then as you were saying, like cl- clearly Snorlax is running up some sort of food bill, so- Mm-hmm ...

so, so Oak was happy to, to transfer that.

Yeah.

Um, and, uh, and so, and so Ash returns Snorlax back to his Poke Ball and is like, "All right, he's going back to Professor Oak.

I'm getting Noctowl back.

I can't, I can't keep up with his food bills."

Pokemon do not think in words.

Watchwing the Noctowl is no exception, but he does have a voice, a cry.

All Pokemon do, even those without throats, even those without mouths.

Pinecos scrape their scales together.

And then I fucking turn, and Eusine Issandru IV is holding five Indigo League badges, including a fog badge.

What exactly are you sorry for? 7:48 AM, Safari Zone, Watchwing.

Watchwing the Noctowl has no idea what he is looking at.

This is confusing to him because he is very good at looking at things.

Sure, yeah.

Like, like a f- like Noctowl is, is gonna, like, whimper and die-

Yeah

... and then get-
