Elite Full Restore Noise Space

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?

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.

Elite Full Restore is back with an interview-style episode! This week we have on Dragonfree from The Cave of Dragonflies, one of the oldest and longest-standing Pokémon fan-sites around on the web. We talk about Fakemon, our shared internet past at Pokémon Treasures, her favourite Pokémon picker which everyone in the world uses and of course her 17-year-spanning fanfic The Quest For the Legends, which I’ve been reading since at least 2004. This and so much more!

If you have ideas for people we can have on the show or topics you think could sustain an hour discussion, please reach out on Twitter!

Follow Dragonfree on Twitter and Tumblr, and of course check out her site!

That’s all for now, see you next time!

Hey folks! The dawn of the final hours are before us and Matt sat down with friends of the show Stephanie, Max and WeedLordVegeta to talk about all things positive and negative about Sword and Shield before the game launches proper in North America.

This episode contains spoilers for unrevelealed portions of the Galar Dex and information about the game, such as Gym Leaders, which may be considered spoilers to some so tread at your own risk.

This episode was also fully recorded by a web-hosted recording bot for simplicity, and thus will have occasional blips in the audio.

A link that relates to a topic of discussion is this excellent article by Patricia Hernandez at Polygon about the #GameFreakLies hashtag.
