Speaker
this is a muck stain productions podcast
00:00:22
Speaker
Hello, homies and trainers, and welcome to Unknown Radio, your Monday production Pokemon talk show, where we take a peek at every Pokemon. I'm Claudia, and I'm here with my co-host, Catherine. Hello, I bring the pizzazz, and Claudia brings us the facts. And together, we're on Unknown Radio. Oh, damn.
Exploring Sandslash: The Mouse Debate
00:00:44
Speaker
Today, we're going to be doing number 28, and this is Sandslash.
00:00:51
Speaker
Slash. Do you know what his tagline is? The slashy Pokemon. Oh, I wish. Porcupine. Oh, he should be the porcupine. He is the mouse Pokemon. No, he's fucking not. He fucking is. He can't be. How is he a mouse?
00:01:11
Speaker
We already established that Sandshrew's not a mouse, he's a shrew. This guy looks even less like a mouse. I don't know. Oh, it's an absolute joke. Yeah, I promise next week we're gonna be going completely off the walls with the Pokémon taglines. I promise. So we're not...no more nigh. No more nighs, no more mice. No more mice.
00:01:31
Speaker
That's good. So Sandslash is a ground type.
Understanding Sandslash's Physical Traits
00:01:35
Speaker
He stands at three foot, three inches and weighs 65 pounds, which is 29.5 kgs. He's quite the big boy then. He's the size of like a three-year-old. I like that you can take Pokemon to children. Yeah, that's how I can visualize them. All right, so what does this guy look like? He looks like a porcupine.
00:01:58
Speaker
Yeah. And he's got massive claws that are gonna attack you. Or slash you. Or big claws to slash you with, my dear. Or I'd better to slash you.
00:02:13
Speaker
And instead of how Sandshrew had the cute little brick skin, this one has brown spikes. Yeah, he's not as cute. He's not as cute. But the shiny version is yellow and has red spikes on his
Sandslash's Original Name and Abilities
00:02:30
Speaker
back. I could get on board with that. He kind of looks like Autumn. Aw, like little leaves falling. Yeah, that's what he looks like. Aw, that's cute.
00:02:40
Speaker
So sand slash may be a combination of you're never gonna get this sand and slash You're not joking I'm not joking. That's just stupid. That's the worst one yet
00:03:05
Speaker
But fun fact, in the Pokémon Red and Blue Beta games, Sandslash's original name was Sandstorm. Oh, that makes him sound cool. And he would have a theme song. He would have a theme song. Sandstorm by Darude.
00:03:24
Speaker
best song ever. So now I think about that whenever I see this Pokémon and you're welcome because now you do too. I can see him just running to the bait like scurrying with his claws. Beautiful. Thanks. Sandslash set.
00:03:51
Speaker
God, tongue twister Pokemon names. Sand slash shares various physical traits with the Pangolin. I had to learn how to say that since last week. Nice. Yeah, you did really well, actually. Thank you, Pangolin. It also draws from hedgehogs, porcupines, and echidnas due to its coloration and having spikes instead of scales. Okay. Also kind of looks like Sonic the Hedgehog. Yes.
00:04:18
Speaker
Especially when he rolls into a ball and goes towards things. It's a sonic ripoff. Not sure what came first, but... The Sonic or the Egg? Yeah. Was it the Sonic or the Slash?
00:04:29
Speaker
What came first? Oh god. So, Sandslash are known for their ability to roll up into balls. However, for them it is not a fully defensive tactic. Sandslash can roll around in their spiky armour made of keratin and ram into foes severely damaging them with their spikes. Okay. So he is on the defense, he is on the attack. He is geared up and ready to attack.
00:04:59
Speaker
But that whole image is kind of horrifying, like a tumbleweed with anger. It's an angry tumbleweed! Quick! Out of the way, kids! Oh lord, he's
Sandslash's Behavior and Agricultural Uses
00:05:14
Speaker
coming! And I bet it will make a noise too, just like... It would make like, you know those like thistles? That you always had to brush up, but not brush down. Yeah.
00:05:26
Speaker
I reckon that that's weird it'd be like. And you'll definitely only be able to pet him one way like a hedgehog. Yeah. Because hedgehogs are great but they are not cuddly and you just want to cuddle them because they're so cute. But you cannot because the things we love hurt us the most. Sandslash.
00:05:49
Speaker
So their claws also make them great climbers, so it's not uncommon for them to launch aerial spine attacks at opponents from trees. Oh, mate. Imagine just walking along in a forest. Pow, pow, pow! It's like being hit by pine cones, but so much worse. Yeah. It's like a conquer. Worse than a conquer. It's like a spear, isn't it? It's like a massive conquer spear that just falls out of a tree and on your head. On your head?
00:06:18
Speaker
On your end! So the sand slash are also adept at climbing trees now and is prone to ambush its enemies from above. And it also slashes berries down to feed the little sand shrew that weighed at the bottom. That was really cute. Yeah. And then if it wasn't obvious enough they can also slash enemies with their claws if the spikes on their hides were not enough.
00:06:44
Speaker
Yeah, that checks out. Slash slash. What's your opinion so far? Pretty scary? Yeah. How have you gone from this cute thing to this absolutely terrifying, spear-wielding toddler? A conquer from hell. So even though they have all this scary shit going for them, the sandslash prefer not to fight and will often simply roll away from confrontation.
00:07:14
Speaker
or quickly roll around to whip up cloaks of sand for them to escape. Again, him whirring up a cloak of sand also horrifying to me. I don't like sand. And sand always gets everywhere you don't want it to, so that would be very inconvenient.
00:07:35
Speaker
So sand slash can also burrow through the soil at great speeds. Occasionally they move so quickly that one of their spikes or claws snap off. Luckily, they can grow back in as little as a day.
00:07:50
Speaker
Oh, thingies can grow about their part cones, can't they? Who? Carton hedgehogs grow about their spikes. Yeah, so much like hedgehogs, the sand slashes, spikes on their back also fall off naturally as new ones replace the old ones.
00:08:08
Speaker
and then, which is very hedgehog, but then in the Pokémon universe the discarded growths were used by farmers to plow fields back in the old timey days.
00:08:21
Speaker
So it sounds to me like we've got a farmer on our hands. Oh, we've definitely got a farmer on our... Have we had a farmer before? We've had Bulbasaur. And Squirtle. Oh yeah, Squirtle towards the fields. We've got a whole farm set up now. We have actually. We can actually start our own farm. We can start a commune. Yeah, because we can dig the holes, we can put seeds in the holes, and we can water the seeds. And our big guys can pick them out. Easy.
00:08:48
Speaker
Oh man, honestly, that'd be so useful. Why can't they be real? Pidgey's there and they can guard it and get rid of people that are going to come try and steal our crops. We've got Pokemon Farm. It's beautiful. Beautiful. So fun fact that individual sand slashes that live in dry climates tend to have smoother spikes.
00:09:11
Speaker
Oh, you'd think they'd be rougher because, like, less water. Right. Maybe the drier the place is, like a desert, maybe there's less prey, so they don't necessarily have, or less predators, so maybe they don't have to be on the defensive so much. Yeah, maybe. Interesting. I think they'd do well on a farm. They would do swell on a farm. They'd be nice and spiky because it would be nice and moist.
00:09:40
Speaker
Oh, what are they like with water though? Does water like kill them? Yeah, it doesn't say anything about it. I'm assuming they're a bit better because they can climb trees and stuff. Yeah, they can climb trees to kill people. Yes.
00:09:57
Speaker
So last fact that Sandslash have a two-fold resistance to the heat. They can curl up to protect themselves from the sun or burrow into the cooler earth in favorable weather. They may even climb into trees to take naps.
00:10:14
Speaker
Oh, like a sloth. Yeah. So I'm assuming, so they dig, it says that they dig a lot and they dig to get cooler and it's wet underneath the soil and the sand like deep down enough. So maybe they're a bit better with the water. They must be, yeah. They've got to have evolved. If they've evolved into some sort of like killer. I don't know why I've decided he's evil now. They've got to be like, water can't just kill them instantly.
00:10:42
Speaker
Right, not like the baby. Not like the baby. Yeah, this one doesn't look like a toe to me. More, I mean, I don't think Sandshrew particularly looks like a toe. But yeah, no, it doesn't. Looks less like a toe. It looks more scary. Even less. I wouldn't want to meet this one in a dark alley.
00:11:01
Speaker
No. So the Sand Slash, much like the Sandshrew, has an Alolan counterpart.
Alolan Sandslash: Ice-Steel Marvel
00:11:10
Speaker
Okay. And the... Do you know what the Alolan Sand Slash looks like? No, but I'm hoping that it's pine, like it's spikes look like icicles. Oh, yes. Absolutely. So...
00:11:24
Speaker
It stands kind of the same. It's blue and instead of the little spines that Sandslash has, it has these big glacial spikes coming off of its back, including one big one on the top of its head. That's cool. And his claws, his hands are a lot bigger and its claws are a lot longer and have these hooks on the end of them. Oh, do you think that's to dig up snow? Yes.
00:11:53
Speaker
It's claws resemble ice picks or axes, which is tools used for ice climbing. So again, really good if we climb an Everest. You want this guy. Yeah. Absolutely. So this guy is an ice steel type. He's a little bit bigger at 3 foot 11 inches and he weighs 121.3 pounds, which is the equivalent to 55 kgs.
00:12:21
Speaker
He's a big boy. He's hefty. He's hefty. Chonky. A lot of that weight probably has to come from those icicles on his back. Yeah, it's got to. And his shiny variant looks very similar to his normal variant. It's just a lot darker. It's like a dark blue rather than a nice pale ice kind of color. Oh, so it hasn't got a cute little blue tum tum? Yeah.
00:12:48
Speaker
Not white, but it's not blue. It's kind of that very muted blue-white belly. I googled it, and I know exactly what you mean. It is not white, and it is not blue. It is both, but also neither. It's a light blue, I think is the word. It's Schrodinger's cat, but as a colour. Love it. So it's belly is Schrodinger colour.
00:13:12
Speaker
So the Alolan Sandslash evolves by giving Alolan Sandshrew an ice stone, which is fun. We like those. I like it where they have to get snowed. Yeah.
00:13:26
Speaker
So a little bit about this big boy is that they have steely, ice-covered spines that ward off most attackers. However, this ice also weighs them down, making them extremely slow. Oh. So that's interesting, because the sandshrew Alolan was super-duper fast. Yeah, because it could skid on the ice. This guy's just like, nah. Nah. He is not an aerodynamic fellow.
00:13:55
Speaker
There is nothing about this guy that screams Olympics. Absolutely not. Maybe, I don't know, nope, nothing. Maybe heavy lifting. That thing, javelin. Oh, he could just pull off one of his own icicles and lob it. Exactly. Beautiful.
00:14:13
Speaker
We should definitely do an episode that's Pokemon Olympics and we put forward what Pokemon we think would be good for the Olympics. Anyway, back on track. Oh my god, it's not the Olympics. It's Olympic year too this year. It is, yeah. Right, there you go, sorted. And it's in Paris. We could do a French version. You're so good at French. Oui oui.
00:14:36
Speaker
So luckily these Pokémon dwell atop mountains covered in snow. While their enemies may be hindered by the weather, the Alolan Sandslash have adapted claws that can easily clear paths for them to travel through. These claws also help them to climb up slippery slopes and ice-crusted rocks with ease. Awesome.
00:14:57
Speaker
So you called that? I did. I said you'd warn him up there with you on Everest. Just scaling all 55kgs of his body weight up the side of a mountain. Impressive. Legend. So the Alolan sand slash cannot curl into balls when in danger.
00:15:16
Speaker
Well, not looking. Yeah, exactly. Instead they bury themselves in the snow with only their spikes protruding to keep foes away. Their spikes are so cold that being stabbed by them can cause frostbite.
00:15:32
Speaker
Imagine accidentally standing on one of these bad boys. You'd lose your foot. You would. Note to self, if you are, and anybody listening, planning to go hiking in the mountains of Alola, bring steel bottom boots. Because otherwise you will lose a foot. And you will die.
00:15:56
Speaker
So their bodies chill the air around them in order to keep those spikes from melting. And they kick up quite a bit of snow when they dash through piles of it, whipping up beautiful flurries. I could just imagine them like, you know, like when you want to jump in a big pile of leaves, but not leaves, it's just snow. Like you're just in snowdrifts. But it's that perfect, like, poofy snow. The poofy snow.
00:16:21
Speaker
That, you know, you just see it and you're like, that's, I want to roll in that. And then you remember that it's really cold. Yeah. Yeah. Instantly regret all your life choices. So the icy spikes also glisten in the morning light. These attributes make them popular subjects for photographers. However, because the mountains they inhabit can be quite dangerous to travel alone. Those who wish to climb the peaks and take pictures of them must first be cleared by the Alola tourist bureau.
00:16:51
Speaker
That's some pretty high security levels.
Photography and Tourism in Alola
00:16:55
Speaker
Yeah, which I thought that was a really funny Pokedex entry, and I don't know why. It just sounded very like, if you want to see these animals, you have to first get cleared by the Alola tourist bureau. Yeah, but like, what are you doing with them? Like, just steal it. Well, apparently I steal all the Pokémon, so. I guess they, because they were saying, because they're so dangerous to go. Yeah. If you want to go, they have to light log. Okay, we know when you're going, this is the day that we expect you back.
00:17:24
Speaker
If you're not back, we'll have to send out a search party for you and these are the coordinates you have to stick to and here's a radio. I feel like it's one of those situations. And I think that's really kind of cool. I wonder how many people had to die for them to enact that. You know what I mean? I think it's got to be at least 20.
00:17:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah. They just have to keep on doing body recoveries. Yeah. Like, it's probably quite a high number, I reckon. And they're like, these damn tourists are always wanting to go up in the mountains to take pictures of the Alola Sandslash. This has got to stop. This has got to stop. It's gone too far. It's not worth it. It's not just Google a picture. It's not worth it. Have you heard of Google? I wonder if they could then sell those for a lot of money. They're pretty sought out after.
00:18:17
Speaker
I mean, you've played Pokemon Snap. Yeah. There's got to be a market for those pictures. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Very interesting to think about. Not on topic at all. Now I want to play Pokemon Snap. I love Pokemon Snap. Maybe I'll do a replay of that. I don't remember there being an Alolan Sandslash. I never completed it.
00:18:37
Speaker
but I put it on the big TV and it's like a... Anyway, sans slash. Yeah, so you're ready to move on to our question section. I think we should move on to the question section. So, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash.
00:18:53
Speaker
So you're back in this desert and you're just walking along, you know, it's very hot out here. And you come across them getting really into this. You come across a really beautiful oasis that's in the middle of this desert. And you know, it's nice. There's finally trees for you to get some shade during your hike, which you're very into.
00:19:14
Speaker
Uh, now, apparently, and then you settle yourself under this nice tree and then a sand slash just drops out of the tree in front of you. And he doesn't seem like he's angry. He's just saying, hello, what would you do? I want to try and make it my friend. Yeah. You're like, we're both outdoorsy people.
00:19:35
Speaker
We both like to climb trees. I think me and the sand slash have got some stuff in common. Yeah. Find some common ground and then convince it to follow me home. Yeah. I thought you were going to say that I'll live in the desert in this oasis with the sand slash forever. To be fair, that does sound pretty dreamy actually. Sleep in the trees. He can dig you a nice hole. Oh my god, he could. Yeah. To protect you. Yeah. Oh no, I want to live in the oasis with the sand slash. That's my goal.
00:20:05
Speaker
So we'll flip to your other hiking location up in the snowy mountains of Alola and it's the morning time, the sun's just rising, you just wake up out of your igloo tent and you see this really beautiful glistening light from the icicles on top of an Alolan sand slash. What would you do? I'm taking some photos of him because apparently they're worth a lot of money.
00:20:33
Speaker
And then I'm probably just going to leave it. I don't want to risk dying from being stabbed by an icicle. It's like the opposite of what happened to Christina in Grows Anatomy. Oh, yeah. Oh, God.
00:20:51
Speaker
Yeah. That was just not worth the risk. Absolutely not. But worth it for the picture, I think. The experience. Yeah, I'm doing it for the experience. I might even like go live. You got to make sure that you are cleared by the tourist bureau, though, because if you go live and you're not, that's probably illegal.
00:21:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. I'll just take those photos. I'll FaceTime you. I'd screen record. They can't prove it. They can't prove that you did not have a tourist bureau certificate. It's fine. I'll forge it. Officer Jenny, help me. Yeah, she is fine. She'd probably help. Yeah, exactly. She's cool. She I, she I. So what do you think a normal basic ass sans slash eats?
00:21:34
Speaker
Bugs and shit. Bugs and shit. But now we've learned berries. Yeah. Berries is new. Well, I don't know. I just feel like berries goes without saying with Pokemon though, because you feed them berries when you want to be their friend. Yeah, they all kind of eat that. Yeah. What does a pangolin eat?
00:21:53
Speaker
A pangolin. Pangolin. It sounds like an instrument. Pang-pang-pangolin. Doesn't it? No, like, you know, like, I think I'm thinking of mandolin. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, it lives in Africa. Oh, it's like it would be cool if a sand slash would eat like little reptiles too. No, this one just eats like larvae and flies and stuff.
00:22:20
Speaker
Oh, okay. So that's what a sand slushie is. Apparently sometimes sand. Oh. If sand slash ate sand, would he make him a cannibal? Well, I don't think he's made of sand. I don't know. That isn't a good point. I think he's living, you know. But it sounds like it would. Oh, pangolins and mammals. I think so. Either a... I don't think they're a marsupial. They don't lay eggs. Yes, they're live babies then, yeah.
00:22:50
Speaker
They are a mammal. That's weird. It's the only mammal wholly covered in scales. We're learning so much. Right. Because every time I see you something like that, it makes me think that they're like an echidna who are marsupials. Interesting. Anyway, completely off topic again. Yes. Yes. What do you think the Alolan one eats? Fish. Yeah.
00:23:15
Speaker
I definitely think it could spear out some fish. 100%. 100%. Yeah. Like, do you think their icicles grow back like the Kanto one? I would assume so because it specifically says that their bodies chill the air around them to keep the spikes from melting. So they're not, you know, biological, like fake.
00:23:37
Speaker
ones or ones made of keratin like the normal sand slash that just ice. They are literally ice. So I would assume. They could just snap it off, chuck it. They could spear the fish. Yeah. Ooh. First Pokemon that uses a tool, we called it. Oh, I love that. But it could. Yeah. And it's also got that hook on its claw. Yeah, perfect. Perfect fishing rod. And really long arms too, so they could go down and quickly. And their slow movement is just because they're
00:24:07
Speaker
They can't walk very fast because of the icicles on the back, but I bet they're probably still fast, maybe even faster with those arms. Yeah. Like it's got far reach. Yeah. Love it.
Fun Speculations: Tongue Length and Farming
00:24:21
Speaker
So could we eat a sand slash? I don't think so. No.
00:24:27
Speaker
I don't even know what would be. I don't know. No, I wouldn't say we could. I feel like it's a lot of keratin. It's very keratin-y, kind of like with the pandolin and the echidnas and stuff. You're loving this keratin word today. I am loving it.
00:24:43
Speaker
Can I just quickly let you know that a pangolin's tongue is up to 28 inches long? Do you reckon it's the same with a sand slash to get the buzz? That's exactly what I was thinking. If it is, then a sand slash, in theory, like the canto one, could just be like a frog and just sticks its tongue out and gets the bloody wasp.
00:25:03
Speaker
Oh, it could. Or like stick its tongue in like an old dusty log and get in all the crevices. Like an anteater. Yeah. Called it. Has to. Right. Could we eat the Alolan one? I get, I, again, I just feel like it would taste like a penguin. Yeah. And especially, I wouldn't trust like it, that it's so cold, it can give you frostbite. Oh my God. What would you do to your insides? Yeah. I don't know how good the meat would be. Yeah. No, I'm not.
00:25:34
Speaker
Not convinced we could eat them. Yeah. All right. Uh, so you, uh, chilling in your desert in your nice little desert bar that you found in this, we'll say it's in an Oasis, like a new, a more hip bar. Um, this has got hammocks between trees. Sand slashes. Yeah. Sandstorm is playing in the background. Yeah. They're all jamming out to rude sandstorm. Um, and you're, this is a club. You're in a club.
00:26:04
Speaker
A bunch of sandslash, people that live in the desert, some sandshoes are there, you're having a great time. But then you turn around and you accidentally knock into one of these sand slashes and he's pissed. Who would win in that fight? I don't think I could take on a sand slash. It's the cause and the fact that it can shoot its spikes at me.
00:26:29
Speaker
Yeah. It's just like a walking weapon. Yeah. You could maybe relish in the fact that they prefer not to fight, and they would roll away with confrontation. True. So you could intimidate the shit out of the sand slash. I could kill it with words. And then it would cry and roll away. Yeah. I'd do that. That's what I would do. Yeah. So no one would win, but you would win that verbal fight. Yeah. Verbally, I would win.
00:26:57
Speaker
What about if you're in this really nice igloo bar? Not back in my ice bar. Back in your ice bar. It's beautiful. The whole bar is just a solid block of ice and all the seats are icy and you have your little puffer jacket on because it's so cold. Oh, I'm in a little ski suit. And you don't need to put ice in your drink because your cup is made of ice. It's wonderful.
00:27:23
Speaker
So much ice. Yeah, you're having such a good time and everything's made of ice, right? So you don't notice the ice after a while. It's just that's normal. Yeah. So you don't know when there might be an Alolan sand slash buried under the floor. Who would win at that point? Them. I mean, you might lose your foot, but that doesn't mean you don't lose the war.
00:27:52
Speaker
true, I once again, if I start crying, I reckon my tears could start to melt it away. Yeah. Yeah. And you might be crying if you've got frostbite in my throat. Frostbite. Yeah.
00:28:05
Speaker
And also, again, I could try and kill it with my words. You could. Yeah, because it doesn't say that this guy is necessarily aggressive or not. They just bury themselves when there's danger. So, if anything, they just look scary. They might be gentle giants. They might be. In which case, you know, maybe he wasn't picking a fight with you in the first place. It was just an accident. Maybe it was just me getting leery. As always. I think he'd say sorry. Yeah?
00:28:34
Speaker
Yeah, I think you'd say sorry. And I think it'd help you down the mountain so you can find someone to amputate your foot. Cheers, mate. Anytime. So that's it for our Sandslash. I'd call her my Sandslash Steve, by the way. Sandslash Steve the Sandslash. Why is this so difficult? Steve the Sandslash. But Kevin the Sandsshrew.
00:28:58
Speaker
Stephen, Kevin. Oh lord. So what do you think of these guys? Do you know what? Like, I like them. Me too. I like the fact that they hide in trees and they just shoot their spikes out. Which reminded me, we never covered what functions they could have.
00:29:15
Speaker
Shit, we did that. I skipped a question. You skipped the best question. I skipped the best question, but we'll save the best till last today. We meant to do that. What, for the regular Sans Slash, what functions do you think that he would be able to do? Well, we've already established it. He's a farmer. Farmer, yeah. Yeah, he's digging holes. He's helping us out. Yeah, could be in a building site digging holes. Hear me out, tree surgeon.
00:29:44
Speaker
Oh, because he can climb all the way up. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I like that a lot. I just think he'd be quite good at it.
00:29:53
Speaker
Yeah, because he can climb all the way up there pretty easily. And he's not too big and he doesn't weigh too much. And I reckon he's probably quite strong enough to whack one of the branches off, you know? And if he falls down, he's not going to get hurt because he can roll up. And if he does damage one of his tools, i.e. one of the claws on his hand, it'll be back tomorrow. Exactly. He'd be fine. He'd be fine. So he's definitely one that we need in our commune.
00:30:23
Speaker
Yes. That's another episode. Who would we have if we had to start the society from scratch but with Pokemon? Love that. What about the Alolan guy? Well, Everest, right? Yeah. He's gonna be climbing. Yeah, he'd help people.

Speaker
through the mountain. I reckon you can probably use it as a focal point. Like it could just be there. You could be like, hey, you know, there's going to be some people coming through. Can you just stand there in the light so they'll be able to see you and then guide them, you know, what direction they need to go next. That would be good. I like
Alolan Sandslash in Society and Tourism
00:30:59
Speaker
that. Also, he could be used as a freezer for a restaurant. Because he chills the airs around him. So you could just chill in a room.
00:31:09
Speaker
Instant freezer. And you just keep him happy, bring him anything he needs. Yeah. He'd be useful in the commune. He would be useful in the commune. Yeah. We want to keep our food cold. Right. Yeah. Yeah, don't need electricity when you got this guy. Exactly. Keep your food good. We got fire, we got food cooler. He's brilliant. Yeah, sorted, mate.
00:31:34
Speaker
Alright, so yeah, what do we think about these guys? I like them a lot. I didn't really have any opinions on the sand slashes until now, and I feel like they're both very different. Yeah, I feel like I like the Alolan one a bit more.
00:31:53
Speaker
Right, it's very interesting. Yeah. And I like how it kind of explains how they're a part of society and linking it in with tourism and that kind of stuff I thought was really neat. Yeah, I like that. Like I said, I like it when they've got a bit of a backstory. Yeah. Yeah, no. I think... I like them both, though. Like you said, I didn't really care for either of them. Like, didn't, you know. A bit neutral, but... I'm pro-sanslash now.
00:32:23
Speaker
Especially now that I know they've got a theme song. Yeah, pro slash. I'm a slash pro. All right, and next week we're going to be starting on, it's not quite the Evie Palooza, but it is a Palooza. Oh, no. I'm going to call it the Nido Palooza.
00:32:47
Speaker
No. Nindorama. Nindorama. Yeah, Nidoran, Nidoran, Nidorino, Nidorina, Nidoking, Nidoquine. Too many of them. One of them's got boobs, I don't like it. One of them has got tits, yeah. And on that note... Slasher on the flip side. Well, gotta slash and go, bro. Alright.
00:33:39
Speaker
And with that, goodbye!
