Thatch’s Thoughts: Helioptile, Pancham, and Fletchling

May 24, 2013 in Thatch's Thoughts by Thatch

Hey once again guys, today I would like to give you my thoughts on the rest of the new pokemon revealed earlier this month. The first I want to discuss is Helioptile, a normal/electric type lizard thing. First it’s a unique typing, which could end up being cool, especially if it evolves. It also has the new move Parabolic Charge, which is mega drain for electric types. I’m excited to see which old pokemon get access to this new move as well. It could be useful.
The next pokemon is Pancham who seems to have become an Internet favorite. He is everywhere. He is a cute little panda who thinks he is far more intimidating than he actually is. I have heard rumors about how he evolves, but it comes from the same source that says there will be a fairy type so I’m taking it with multiple grains of salt. I’m excited for this Pokemon though, I’m going to catch one ASAP.
The final pokemon I would like to go over is Fletchling. More than likely, Fletchling will be the standard flying type of the region, though I am intrigued by its ability to use flame charge. This could mean I doesn’t end up being a normal/flying type, but maybe fire/flying. If not flame charge is still a great move, and giving it to Fletchling could make it even better. Once again I am exited.
These at my thoughts on the new pokemon. Hopefully you got something from this. Hopefully we will ht more news soon. Catch you on the flip flop.

Thatch’s Thoughts: Go Go Gogoat

May 21, 2013 in Thatch's Thoughts by Thatch

A couple weeks ago while I was traveling across country back to my girlfriend’s house, we were in South Dakota and I decided to check up on some Pokemon news. Surely I found 4 new pokemon for myself to gush over. I would eventually like to talk about the others, but Gogoat has grabbed my attention more so than the others. This is because apparently you can ride them in Pokemon X and Y.

This grass type pokemon is impressive, and can learn Horn Leech, one of the coolest grass type moves in my opinion. It is a physical mega drain, which I think is awesome. That move alone makes Sawsbuck usable, and Gogoat can be seen as formidable as well. I have even seen screen shots where it seems Gogoat may have a pre-evolution, which is cool.

As for the idea of riding pokemon, I hope that we can possibly ride more than just Gogoat. It seems unfair, there are many other pokemon that seem to be horse like enough that we can ride through town. I would live to be able to ride a Tauros or a Rapidash. It is a great throwback, maybe this could even possibly lead into the ability to let pokemon out of their pokeballs outside of battle. That’s a stretch though. I hope something develops further from this idea.

On a side note about this article. It will be a semi regular article for now until the episode and may be filler once the show is back on its feet. A lot if these ideas will be presented on the podcast, but in the way you know and love. I’ll catch you all on the flip side.

Thatch’s Thoughts: New Mewtwo Form

May 20, 2013 in Thatch's Thoughts by Thatch

20130520-092905.jpg

Hey everyone, so I’m still in Hawaii, and thought I would give you some of my personal thoughts on one piece of news that has been revealed about X and Y since the last episode. This has to do with the new Mewtwo form.

There was a lot of speculation that surrounded the form during its release. I myself wondered if it just wasn’t a new Pokemon altogether. I hoped it was honestly, I didn’t want people to mess with a classic, a Pokemon that was part of my childhood. Then the trailer was released. The new Pokemon is a new form of Mewtwo. What does this mean for us? After 4 generations Mewtwo has been tampered with. I’m not going to lie I was a little upset, the most I have ever been with Pokemon. Though I have to admit, recently the new form has grown on me.

Yeah the tail is coming out of the head and it looks weird, but if I didn’t like Pokemon because they looked weird I don’t think I could play the game. It’s different and a bit more streamlined than Mewtwo, and that could just be a product of the time. One good thing I do think that comes of this is that Mewtwo is going to play a role in the new games in some way shape or form and I’m happy about that. I get to see an old favorite 15 years after its release make a comeback in X and Y. I’m excited for that.

As for what causes the change, I don’t know I can answer that. It could very well just be a move it uses or like Deoxys it just needs to be taken to a new in game location. Maybe there will be a new mechanic that causes the shift. I have heard other things about gender as well, but I hold that X and Y are not based on chromosomes, but on spacial dimensions. It seems to be the most logical with the shift to full 3D, but I could be wrong as well. Either way those are my thoughts on the new Mewtwo form, hopefully something is revealed soon. Nintendo has been giving me too many cliffhangers as of late and it is upsetting. Catch you guys on the flip flop.

Don’t worry P.U.C.L. Is Still Here

May 19, 2013 in P.U.C.L. Updates by Thatch

Hey everyone I know it’s been a while since you have seen an episode and I would like to apologize for that. The delay was caused by the fact that App and myself among with many other were graduating and we have had to finish a lot of projects in the past month. Right now I have graduated and now hold a Bachelors of Science in Physics and Religious Studies with a minor in Mathematics. That aside, I would like to let you know there will be new P.U.C.L. Episodes in about 2 weeks and hopefully they will become a weekly endeavor until August.
Currently I am in Hawaii, visiting my girlfriend’s extended family. I will return to the “studio” around the 29th and we can get the show on the road. In the meantime I have found this nifty app to update the website via my smartphone and I will periodically post my ideas about the news that has been revealed about X and Y. This should hopefully help the remaining P.U.C.L. Junkies out there. Also since I am off to grad school in the next few months I will need help running the site and look for anyone willing to help at all. Just shoot an email to puclpodcast@gmail.com and I will get back with you as soon as I can.
