\[FIRESIDE MAGIC ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE! THIS IS JUST AN ADDITIONAL PROJECT THAT WE'RE TAKING ON, AND WILL BE POSTING ON ITS OWN CHANNELS ONCE THEY'RE SET UP. IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR POKEMON, THE MAGIC…
Well, hey, speaking of starter Pokemon.
Speaking of starter Pokemon.
So we went through a couple ideas on what the first episode of the show should be.
And we Kind of landed on the most obvious thing.
We are going to talk about what are actually called first partner Pokemon.
That's the official term.
They changed that, I want to say, around Gen 7.
You may know them better as starter Pokemon.
When you walk into the Professor's Lab to start your Pokemon game, you are given one of these.
Darren, before we start, including the new three revealed for Gen 10, how many of the 32 possible starter Pokemon can you name?
Oh, Christ.
Okay.
All right.
Let's do this.
In a reasonable amount of time.
Okay.
I will try for less than two minutes.
All right.
Here we go.
Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle.
Three.
Two.
I'll interrupt and say I'm getting you a little bit here with 32.
You're technically missing two Gen 1 starters.
