Elite Full Restore – Details, episodes & analysis

This time on Elite Full Restore, I have YouTube and Twitter Pokémon personality @Lewtwo on to talk about the updates (or lack-thereof) for the upcoming Pokémon games, game and monster design philosophy and what we hope for out of new games and remakes. Seriously though, why do we know so little about games out next month?

Links discussed:

• Lewtwo's video on GOTCHA!
• List of Pokémon by designer

Our show art was made by Golurk and our opening theme music is, as always, the unimpeachable Pokémon Gold/Silver Surf music by Junichi Masuda and Go Ichinose.

There was new Pokémon announcements so Elite Full Restore is BACK to discuss with special guest Kiko (@royalpizzaboy). Talking primarily about the new Diamond and Pearl remakes and Pokémon Legends Arceus, Game Freak's design philosophy and how it's funny that Post Malone said "sex" in an officially-sanctioned Pokémon concert.

Our art was made by Golurk and our opening theme music is, as always, the unimpeachable Pokémon Gold/Silver Surf music by Junichi Masuda and Go Ichinose. The closing theme this episode is Acacia by BUMP OF CHICKEN, whose delightful Pokémon-themed music video can be found here.

Well folks! We definitely didn’t get the next episode sooner! Herein, we discuss three rounds of news, a demo, the leak of the entire game’s files and also Lickitung’s ball handling. Pokémon Sun and Moon are imminent!

• Answering a bunch of age-old questions like “will they reveal the starter evolutions” and “What is the NX?!” several weeks late, fuck, sorry
• Aury vapes through Matt’s entire rapid-fire Pokémon Go update
• Matt rants about Nintendo’s terrible accounts system again
• Buy a 3DS if you haven’t yet, they’re going on $AAAAALE!
• Our Pokémon hopes for the Switch (which we keep calling NX)
• Them jingle!
• We finally just respond to a question entirely with a Simpsons reference
• Talonflame gets what is coming to it!
• Put Dark Void in the toilet!
• Buzzwole is the beefy friend we need in these trying times
• Machamp cranking hog: part one of 19
• Red and Blue are literally married and on their honeymoon
• We run through every possible basketball meme in a quest to defeat the 95-96 Chicago Bulls

Clarifications/Corrections (The Smogon Research thread seems to indicate…):

• Receiver indeed only inherit’s a fainted ally’s ability
• Parental Bond apparently still activates secondary move effects
• The Attack boost for Farfetch’d is 65 to 90, so its new Attack power with Stick actually dwarfs a Medicham with Pure Power considerably
• No accuracy change to Swagger
