00:00:38
Speaker
I have some pizzazz. Claudia has some facts. Together. We like tomfoolery. Oh, that we do. that we do. Well, this week
Focus on Pokemon: Venonat and Venomoth
00:00:49
Speaker
we're going to be doing number 48 and 49 in the Pokédex. Do you have any idea?
00:00:54
Speaker
No. Okay. I made it really... I literally scrolled down Bulbapedia so fast, so I didn't see who was next. Oh, boy. um Well, youre not you're in for a treat.
Venonat: Appearance and Description
00:01:06
Speaker
This is Venonet. Oh, for God's sake!
00:01:13
Speaker
Venonat and Venomoth. I knew you'd be so excited. I already know how I'm going to describe Venonat, though. Okay. Well, first of all, what's his tagline? I don't know. The rubbish one.
00:01:27
Speaker
He's the insect Pokemon. Gods are so boring. What does he look like? He's like a purple pom-pom, but he's got, like, ears. Ears? Antenna.
00:01:39
Speaker
And then he's got, like, a little creepy tooth coming out of him.
Venonat: Size and Variations
00:01:45
Speaker
Yep, he is a purple fuzzy ball with little antenna eyes, huge eyes, a weird nose mouth that also looks like a, it just looks like a nose with like a bull ring septum piercing.
00:02:00
Speaker
Oh my god, it does! It looks he's stretched his septum. He's the emo Pokemon! The emo Pokemon! He's got out ah little grabby hands and like hobbit feet that are skin coloured.
00:02:17
Speaker
So gross. The shiny version looks exactly the same, but its eyes and nose are blue instead of pink. Oh, again, no imagination for the shiny version.
00:02:28
Speaker
Because nobody cares. Nobody cares at all. He is a bug poison type. He stands at three foot three inches. Flippin' hell he's a big boy, isn't he?
00:02:40
Speaker
Big emo puffball. The whole time want him coming near me. He's going to be
The Origin of Venonat's Name
00:02:45
Speaker
there going, where are you? I'm so sorry. Like one those, like a a sentient Furby.
00:02:54
Speaker
Sentient punk rock Furby. He weighs 66.1 pounds, which is 30 kgs. That's pretty, pretty hefty. Yeah. I hate it already. Yeah, no, I'm not a fan.
00:03:08
Speaker
So Venonat is a combination of the words Venom and Nat. Yeah.
Venonat's Behavior and Traits
00:03:14
Speaker
Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow, it's so exciting. So Venenat resembles parasitic insects such as fleas and ticks, possibly based on the former due to its large feet, which it uses to hop.
00:03:30
Speaker
okay Do you reckon it like buzzes? oh i If it was to make a noise, I reckon it would go like... Like one of those annoying mosquitoes that keeps flying by your ear when you're trying to sleep.
00:03:42
Speaker
ah oh This one's three foot three inches. This is a tent. You just hear... You're like, fuck off and backhand this weird Furby. oh feel horrible on your hand.
00:03:53
Speaker
To be so fairy, but you wouldn't be expecting it. I bet it's like a wet feeling fur as well. Oh, do you think? Yeah. Ooh. Creepy. So it may also be based on a radar system as its eyes function like one and its antenna resemble those found on them.
00:04:12
Speaker
Okay. I just assume they were like fly eyes. Yeah. They do look like fly eyes and fly eyes are creepy. They are, yeah. ah Fun little fact is that in earlier Pokemon books, it said that Venonet can fly. However, it doesn't have wings.
00:04:30
Speaker
I reckon, right, you know, um like a puffer fish. Oh, so it just does a jiggly puff? and Not a jiggly a Kirby. ah It just it does a Kirby.
00:04:42
Speaker
Very Kirby. And it flies. I hate it. It's just those little fucking flesh-colored feet just flapping in the wind. rubs them together like a cricket. but who I hate it even more. You haven't even gone into it.
00:04:59
Speaker
He's horrible. Alright, you ready to get stuck in? um yeah So Venonet are nocturnal Pokemon that dwell in dark places like dimly lit forest floors. then They hide in tree hollows until nightfall when their main sources of food emerge.
00:05:19
Speaker
What does it eat? Like, does it eat itself? Does it eat moth? Does it eat itself? Moths come out at night. True. So the next part says that they eat tiny insects that flit around the dark undergrowth.
00:05:34
Speaker
Creepy. I bet it's got a really long tongue. Oh, like a chameleon? Yeah. And where does it come out of that weird nose
Defense Mechanisms and Shiny Discussion
00:05:43
Speaker
septum ring thing? I don't know.
00:05:46
Speaker
Maybe it has two and they come out both the sides of the nose. some Maybe the tooth. Maybe the tooth extend. Oh, the tooth. They're not teeth. They're tongue. oh
00:05:58
Speaker
So, Ven and her are attracted to light and can commonly be seen swarming around lampposts near the forest that they live. Oh, God. Imagine seeing one of those. You just go out and you're like, oh, look. it's They're just going, and just jumping around the bottom of a lamppost.
00:06:17
Speaker
But they're three foot tall. Like a little army of children. Fluffy children. It's horrible. Oh. Absolute nightmare fuel. yep i Yep. This Pokemon gives me the ick.
00:06:33
Speaker
Yeah. I've got the ick of everything around about it. I've got the ick. Yeah, fair. So the bristly hairs covering them protect them from predators and make them unappetizing meals.
00:06:44
Speaker
So question. Yeah. Yeah. What would it look like if you shave it?
00:06:51
Speaker
ah it just more ah don't know. If you go on Bulbapedia, you can see its shape. Oh. One of those creepy, like, full body shapes.
00:07:04
Speaker
Body twelfth. Oh. That's Google Shade Venonat. You know when... Ah!
00:07:15
Speaker
You know when a cat gets wet and they go really, like, skinny? Yeah. That's the vibe I'm getting. So go on Google Images.
00:07:26
Speaker
Oh, okay. Or not even images, just Google. Yeah. Okay. Typed in shaved Venonette. Yeah. And it should be the first thing that pops up at the very top.
00:07:38
Speaker
Oh, Oh my god! ah But it's so round! So for those listening, it is just a the same colour as a Venonap's feet.
00:07:50
Speaker
It's just a round ball with weird eyes and that mouth and then the hands, but there's nothing else to it. It's just a weird fucking... looks like do I hate it so much.
00:08:03
Speaker
it's like mor It's like Morph's creepy cousin. Yeah, it's like a Weedle's face with legs on it.
00:08:14
Speaker
I hate it so much. Fuck that. Fuck that. Fuck you, Bella. hate you.
00:08:22
Speaker
Venonat also ooze poison from all over their bodies as a secondary defense mechanism. Lovely. Wet. They're wet. Yeah, he did say wet. Mm-hmm. Their large compound eyes can sense tiny movements in the darkness, allowing them to easily hone in on tiny insect prey.
00:08:43
Speaker
Additionally, their large eyes also function as radar units of sorts, alerting them to potential dangers lurking about. Okay. Okay. Pretty cool. The only thing going for it right now.
00:08:55
Speaker
yeah That is, yeah. That is all it's got. You could just hold this bitch in front of you as you're going through like a forest. It's going beep, beep, beep, beep. But only by its feet. I don't want to touch the fur.
00:09:07
Speaker
Just hold it upside down by its fucking feet. Or its antenna. Just hold it. Put it in a cage. don't know. They look like they're taking off really easily. m Yeah, you're right. Off its horrible shaved body.
00:09:18
Speaker
um Venonet can use their eyes to defend themselves by firing beams.
The Evolution Theory: Venonat and Butterfree
00:09:25
Speaker
Such as when using the moves Psy Beam and Signal Beam, both attacks can confuse and disorient targets.
00:09:32
Speaker
It's a weapon. It just wait it shoots lasers. So you could essentially put it in a three foot cage. Yeah. And hold that cage in front of you as you're going on a trek.
00:09:44
Speaker
Wheel it around because it's like 30 kg. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. we Wheel it around. It can tell you where you're going and you can also shoot people with it. Yeah. So in that sense, kind cool.
00:09:55
Speaker
Kind of cool. This Pokemon is great in captivity in a cage. Yes. Shaved. Not shaved. Never shaved. Never. Venedet, lastly, Venedet can also utilize moves such as poison powder and poison fang to deliberate their opponents as well.
00:10:15
Speaker
Yeah, chucks that. Awful. Yeah. Absolutely horrible. and Wouldn't want to go near one. And ah before we go ahead and evolve it, I'm going to put a little earworm in your head.
00:10:26
Speaker
Okay. You ready? I think so. Compare Venonat, its eyes, its color, its face, its little hands, to Butterfree.
00:10:37
Speaker
Is it Butterfree's brother? So there is a stipulation that Butterfree and Venonat actually swapped evolutions. It was never confirmed, um but it might have been an error some way along the line, because Venomoth looks a lot more like Weedle.
00:10:58
Speaker
No, not Weedle. I mean, Caterpie. Yeah. I've literally just got like the Reddit s thing up where it's comparing them. Yeah. And I see it. It's the little hands. It's the eyes. It's everything. Yeah.
00:11:10
Speaker
Yeah. The antenna. Yeah. The antenna are exactly the same. The hands the same. The mouth is the same. The eyes are the same. The color is the same. Yeah. So what the fuck happened, Nintendo? Please tell us.
Venomoth: Appearance and Speculation
00:11:22
Speaker
tell us, because this thing obviously evolved into, but maybe Butterfree was more likable than Venomoth would have been. i mean, ah factually, Butterfree is more likable.
00:11:35
Speaker
Yeah. So then they thought, you know what, we'll put this in this beginning evolution thing so you get, this is one of the Pokemon you get first. I don't know. I don't know. Very weird.
00:11:46
Speaker
Very weird. Ignoring the obviously grave mistake on Nintendo's part, we'll go ahead and evolve our little hellish Furby into number 49 in the Pokedex. As we said, this is Venomoth.
00:11:59
Speaker
Do you know what Venomoth's tagline is? Oh, don't know. Wishes it was butterfree. The wishes it was butterfree Pokemon. This is ah the Poison Moth Pokemon. Oh, yeah. i probably could have guessed that if I actually wanted to. and that's That's a bit of a dead a mouthful.
00:12:19
Speaker
I mean, it is, but are we that surprised at this point? no We're 49 Pokemon in. We said we were 49. I was like, not yet.
00:12:31
Speaker
Don't age me. I'm only 30. um Not for long. I know. What does this Pokemon look like? um He's like a greyish, purplish moth.
00:12:43
Speaker
Yeah. Stitcher's. Two tooths and three horns. It's the horns. It's the eyes for me and the horns. He kind of looks evil. I've always thought that he looks evil.
00:12:55
Speaker
Yes, but it may look evil. But this Pokemon is also, forgive the term here, serving cunt a little bit. Wow. Wow.
00:13:06
Speaker
You know what I mean? kind do, yeah. is it's kind of It's got a little something about it. It's a queen. Yeah. like It's got like the body of a wasp, though, which always conf confused me.
00:13:20
Speaker
It's just kind of weird. It's a weird-looking Pokemon. um Again, that purple color. But its shiny version is actually very cool. on. Because its shiny version is blue.
00:13:31
Speaker
Like, what kind of blue are we talking? Like, turquoise or, like, cyan? We're talking like bright cyan wings, kind of a teal body, and then its thorax, like its butt, is like a a cream.
00:13:46
Speaker
You learned that in GCSE science, didn't you? I did, yeah. um Do you know what? right The shiny version looks a bit like horsey with wings. Oh, it does.
00:13:57
Speaker
Again, Pokemon that serves cunt.
00:14:01
Speaker
Sorry. So its name comes from Venom and Moth. obviously. It is a bug poison type. It is 4 foot 11 inches.
00:14:12
Speaker
I'm assuming wind doing span. I don't know. And weighs 27.6 pounds, which is 12.5 kg. So it got bigger, but it got lighter. Yeah, because it can fly now. So it's got to be lighter to fly.
00:14:24
Speaker
Hear me out, right? You're driving down the road at night time. yeah This guy, he'd write off your car. It's like the Butterfree problem all over again. It is.
00:14:36
Speaker
You wouldn't want to be driving near his house at Do you know what I mean? No, you would not. No, you'd hit him. You'd hit his kids. I would purposely hit his kids. I do not like Venonat.
00:14:47
Speaker
But what if a shaved Venonat, right? What if the Venonat is kind of the cocoon? So it's just like folded wings and like a weird fleshy Venomoth body inside of all of that hair.
00:15:03
Speaker
ah Why would it be wrapped in a meat suit? but know Why is it all of a sudden? i don't... So you think that it's a... I'm trying to just... Yeah, I'm trying to think of like some kind of way that Venonat would turn to Venomoth.
00:15:20
Speaker
And the only thing that makes sense in my head is that like it's kind of curled up inside of it. And it what just grew unzips itself. I'm breaking...
00:15:31
Speaker
Yeah, it comes out of the eyeballs. Oh, I'm sorry. yeah Why? I was thinking of it like literally unzipping itself. um Yeah, just...
00:15:48
Speaker
Finally, I can stretch. It's just the evolution makes no sense to me. But I digress. yeah So in ah the Pokemon manga, it states that Venomoth do not live very long. So I guess like a real fucking moth.
00:16:04
Speaker
um And then the Venomoth seems to be based on Swallowtail moths, many of which are toxic. Okay. ah Its face and insect diet suggests that it may also draw inspiration from lacewings, which, like many moths, are attracted to lights at night time.
00:16:23
Speaker
okay Oh my God, have you seen the size of a smaller tail moth? They're massive. Holy moly. And then it's shiny coloration. So that cool, like blue vibe is similar to a blue morpho butterfly.
00:16:38
Speaker
Yes. Yes, it is. And then I have a final little tidbit of fun information, which that Vetemoth also bears a striking resemblance to the Kaiju Batra, B-A-T-T-R-A, in its adult form.
00:16:55
Speaker
Oh, interesting. Which is kind of like a ginormous Mothman Queen. ah Mothman Queen? Yeah. I'm here for it. So we all know that that the Pokemon love their Kaijus.
Venomoth's Toxic Scales and Environment
00:17:09
Speaker
do. I love learning about them, though. I find them so interesting. Right? I didn't know about this one. I knew about kind of the Nidoking, Nidoqueen ones. I might whack some of them into my English lessons.
00:17:19
Speaker
There you go. yeah but This is not to do with Pokemon. but All right. You ready to dig into it? I think I'm ready. Okay. There isn't much on this one because it's boring.
00:17:31
Speaker
Yeah, know. So it's Venomoth's wings are covered in dust-like scales that vary in colour depending on their toxic capability. Just circle back.
00:17:43
Speaker
You're telling me it's wings are covered in scales. Yes. And that's not weird to you? It is very weird to me. Okay, because you said that. Like, that was completely you normal.
00:17:56
Speaker
I'm thinking, like, fish scales. Ew. Ew. But they're crusty because they're dry. You know what? Venonat and Venomoth are a texture nightmare.
00:18:07
Speaker
Both of them. are a sensory overload. Sensory fucking nightmare. Well, the first one is like bristly wet fur. And this one is dried fish scales.
00:18:22
Speaker
But then I suppose, have you ever killed them off with your hands? No. no Oh, so when you kill a moth with your hands, so like I catch them in clapped, like I don't just grab moths.
00:18:33
Speaker
I'm not cat. It does leave like a dust on your hand. Oh. Hmm. Does it like keep them dry? i don't know. i've never questioned it.
00:18:44
Speaker
Huh. But I like to think it's not scales. Yes, we can hope. It said dust like scales. ah But it's the word scales for me. Yeah. It's ick. it Yeah, it is grim.
00:18:58
Speaker
So the dark scales are poisonous, whereas the lighter scales could cause paralysis. And then there's like one in between that has like the sleep and capabilities. Okay, that's quite cool though.
00:19:09
Speaker
So these scales are released when Venomoth flutters its wings and leak out poison once they make contact with the skin. Oh, oh no, I've done it. I've Googled it.
00:19:20
Speaker
What did you Google? Real life moths are covered in tiny scales. I hate it. That look like powder. Why? ah Why are they on scales? Why are they scales?
00:19:31
Speaker
So um but the idea of like it's flapping its wings and dropping these inverted commas, scales, it kind of, it leads to the same conundrum that we faced and we were talking about Butterfree and how when Butterfree was flying, it would drop dust.
00:19:48
Speaker
So you would have the same fucking problem with this thing, where it just keeps dropping, you're just walking along and then you just get poison dropped on your fucking head. Yeah, but this one is creepier.
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, because it's just not cute. No. Venomoth will also purposely flap their wings vigorously when in danger to release noxious scales. Noxious scales is worse. It just wants to kill us then.
00:20:13
Speaker
Yeah, it's just evil. Yeah, fine. Well, to be fair, if I had to live inside Venonat, I would also be evil. It's like the Wario to Butterfree's Mario.
00:20:27
Speaker
Yeah. It's evil. Yeah, absolutely.
Battling Scenarios with Humor
00:20:30
Speaker
So, Venomoth, like Venomate, are nocturnal and are attracted to bright lights and open flames. Let's hope for the open flame.
00:20:38
Speaker
time Luckily for them, so are their prey. Venomoth still feast on tiny insects that swarm near lights in the darkness, making hunting for food an easy task for these Pokemon.
00:20:50
Speaker
I mean, i guess if Pokemon was like a thing in England, Bonfire Night would really be Just like a venom nightmare, right?
00:21:01
Speaker
Flo just come flying in, dropping fucking poison on all the kids, just trying to play with their sparklers. Yeah. And then massacring themselves in the open flame. Yeah, basically. and It sounds like a party. It's Coachella.
00:21:15
Speaker
the I hate it. Absolute nightmare. That's it. That's all I got. Fair. I mean, I think we made him more fun.
00:21:25
Speaker
We did. We did. Pokemon up your game because we make this one better. Okay. We do. ah Ready to move on to our question section? I am indeed Olilo. You're Viridian Forest still. You're still there from last time. Last time you were kind of there, kind of evening, dusk, rain.
00:21:43
Speaker
ah It's now nighttime. And you're just like, you know what? It's getting late. I've had fun in my crop top. I'm going to walk back home and then suddenly scurrying out from the undergrowth is this fucking big-footed, purple-hairy ball, Vernonette.
00:22:02
Speaker
What would you do? Part of me wants to put it in a box and send it to your house. Oh, oh, I'm so touched. You just... It's just a fucking jump scare.
00:22:16
Speaker
I think I would just catch and release. You know, I'd photo it, whatever, and then it'd be gone. i don't I don't want that thing near me. It's a whole three foot of monstrosity.
00:22:27
Speaker
No, absolutely no, thank you. And I would like to know whether they are teeth or tongues. So you would catch it, shave it, oh yeah thoroughly investigate it, yeah and then kick it to the curb.
00:22:39
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, sounds good. So ah you do all that. Video calling you. ah Okay, love I appreciate that. i I want to shave it so bad. Yeah, we'd want to know. yeah I think we'd be angry with ourselves if we didn't.
00:22:53
Speaker
Right. And there's no research on it. You know, where's the science Pokemon? Where's the science? Exactly. So I do actually have ah a scientific Pokemon book that may or may not show what it looks like underneath the hair. And I am going to pull it out after this and I will send you a picture.
00:23:09
Speaker
Thank you. I am looking forward to that. You're welcome. um So you do your catch and release and fucking invasion on this Vetinoth. And a Vetinoth just flies over with its fucking scaly powder. What would you do?
00:23:24
Speaker
Again, I'll take photo and leave. I don't want it. ah It's not one that I'm like, um I need that in my life, you know? Right. You don't have to investigate this.
00:23:35
Speaker
You don't want to touch it. No. I don't want to know if it's hairy, because you know how some moths are hairy? oh Yeah. I don't want to know if it is. I just, I want it out the way. Yeah.
00:23:46
Speaker
Bye. Yeah. Bye, queen. Bye. So what functions would, we'll start with, well, we'll do both. What functions would both of them have other than battling?
00:23:57
Speaker
I just can't think of one. Radar. What functions do real math moths have? I mean, for the Venonat, at least you've got the radar. True, actually. And it shoots lasers from its eyes.
00:24:09
Speaker
ah Maybe you could harvest its hair like a sheep. Maybe. what And then what? Use it to create toxic jumpers for your enemies? Yes. Yes.
00:24:20
Speaker
Yeah, perfect. That's about it. yeah but Venomoth. um I guess it might pollinate plants. Maybe. ah said Set them on fire, send them up in the sky as a flare gun.
00:24:35
Speaker
Yeah. That's about it, really. Yeah. I mean, fuel for the bonfire. Yeah. yeah Nothing. You set a whole bunch of them out during the war, so then all the tanks just drive into them.
00:24:50
Speaker
Like a line of defense. Yes. ah Amazing. um yeah That's it. Useless. Fucking useless. um what what What do they eat? Berries. Berries and insects.
00:25:01
Speaker
Yep. um Probably the souls of children. Oh, a thousand percent. Yeah. Like, I reckon Venonat sucks them. Like, Kirby. Yep. And according to you, Venonat also eats itself.
00:25:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah, of course, it eats moths. Science. ah Could we eat these? No, because they're poisonous. Poison. Also, why? exactly well you'd eat might want to eat a shaved one.
00:25:25
Speaker
You'd just eat Venonat and just get hair in your mouth, picking it out from your teeth. in between the teeth. It's like I'm eating a mothball. Oh, God. ah All right, so ah you're walking away from, um in your crop top,
00:25:41
Speaker
With your body Machoke. You're just hanging out with Machoke now. It's just your fucking bestie. You're walking back. To make it fair, you'd want a Machoke as a bestie too. I would. I would. I would. Fashion.
00:25:53
Speaker
And you're walking back and you trip over something half buried in the dirt. ah You turn around and you see just the mass of purple hair. And the Venonat jumps out of the dirt and goes, starts coming towards you. Who would win in this fight?
00:26:11
Speaker
Do I have a torch with me? Maybe, because you are walking around in the night time. Because of its height, you'd think easy, right? But 30 kilograms is actually quite heavy.
00:26:24
Speaker
And it shoots beams. And it shoots beams. ah I'm not sure if... you know what? I'd give it a i'd give it a good shot. You could use that torch just to be like, oh, follow this like a cat.
00:26:36
Speaker
Exactly. That's what I'm thinking, and then go behind it. yeah get Or just put that torch right into the fucking of ah middle of a highway. Also, the other thing I'm thinking, because of its shape, if it goes on its back, is it going to be like a turtle that gets stuck? It's got little hands, yeah.
00:26:54
Speaker
yeah So that's the other way to go. like Maybe it could just roll around. yeah because I don't reckon it'd be able to get back up if I knocked him down. I reckon I could do one good punch to get down.
00:27:06
Speaker
Punch it in its eyes? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd give it my best shot. I reckon I could take it. I feel like you'd be fueled by fear and hate fire. Yeah, and then I'd shave it.
00:27:18
Speaker
Just add insult to injury, kill it, and then shave it. And just leave it there. oh So you've killed, shaved, and humiliated this Venonette.
00:27:30
Speaker
I sound like an actual serial killer. May I please make it clear that I am not. Okay. Just of Venonettes. Just aify of Venonettes. ah You only commit mass genocide on Venonettes.
00:27:42
Speaker
Yeah. ah So you've killed this thing and then, ah you know, you've been using this torch. And you know who else likes torches? Big boys. Yeah. Venomoth.
00:27:53
Speaker
A Venomoth swoops down and he's fucking layered up. Who would win in this fight? Me. What would you do? I'd just attack its wings. Oh. Because you can't, you damage their wings so easily. They're so easily broken.
00:28:08
Speaker
Yeah. And then what's it going to do? You know, I can pick it up. It's 12 a half kilograms. ah I could probably kick it a decent amount. Yeah, it's just got those tiny wings. and Admittedly, it's long, but it's not that heavy.
00:28:21
Speaker
Right, and if you get rid of its wings, it doesn't have any of its poison powder, none of its attacks. Exactly. What's it going to do to me? Come at me with this little tith? Don't you think so? I wonder if you could just pour water on it, and it's just like, you know, when you put water on a moth, and it's just like, ugh, fuck. Yeah, exactly. It's just, is but without its...
00:28:40
Speaker
wings he's got nothing get it wet pull its wings off just leave it exactly beautiful let zenon zenonat venonat deal with it just so you just leave a wingless venom off and a shaved with well not being funny but this is my 49th fight with a pokemon now it's doing a bit of a joke i've actually done more than that because i went to alola and got beat up there too like I think it's time that I'll start getting my own back.
00:29:08
Speaker
You know what? And I'm proud of you. Thank you. know listen you've You've learned from the the fights that you know you didn't really have a chance at all. And you have to get a little bit creative.
00:29:19
Speaker
Exactly. And at this point, you're just insulted. So you deserve to really inflict some emotional pain right back at them. Like, I'm going to be leaving Valerian Forest and I'm i'm never coming back.
Episode Conclusion and Final Thoughts
00:29:33
Speaker
Never, ever. We're going. Where are we off to next? The underground. where are we off to next the um the underground Yeah, I think think so. Some caves.
00:29:43
Speaker
The caves. So, yeah, I'm out. Bye, bitch. So that's it for Venonat and Venomoth. What do you think of them?
00:29:54
Speaker
They're gross. They're an absolute sensory overwork. They're just horrible. So Venonat is a little bit cool than I thought it would be. But the problem is, is the coolness makes it worse.
00:30:07
Speaker
The issue is, I think, is you're so interested in what's underneath that fur. Yeah. That that's all you focus on. It's like Diglett. Don't because our whole, we need a whole, whole episode just on Diglett and what's underneath him.
00:30:26
Speaker
Diglett. What is it? You got legs, bro? What am I going to do with you? Yeah. Venomoth was, I knew Venomoth would be nothing. It still is nothing. It sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Venonat worse than I thought.
00:30:41
Speaker
I think, though, that he makes him more interesting. Yeah. But at the same time, like, I don't, ah I still don't really care for these Pokemon. Yeah. you know, if someone's like, hey, do you know about Venonat? And I'm like, yeah, I know what Venonat is. Do you know it shoots fucking laser beams out of its eyes?
00:30:56
Speaker
Yeah, it makes it cool. Like, oh, didn't know that. Like, well, now you do. You're welcome. You're welcome, I say. Except you're welcome. um So, yeah, no, I'm here for it. I had a good time. That's all I'm saying.
00:31:08
Speaker
Yeah. yeah We had a laugh. Wouldn't do it again, but we had a laugh. Yeah. Nope. ah It's not as bad as Sparrow. Oh, no. So at least it's better than that.
00:31:21
Speaker
And it's not a liquid like Metapod. so Yeah. oh Fuck. No. the I don't know. Maybe. We don't know what's under that Vetinet. Oh, God. Yeah, that's true. might be liquid.
00:31:33
Speaker
It is goopy. It has got goopy hair. It's very heavy for goop, though. Like a viscous slime. And on that note... that note, um I've had a venon... I don't know.
00:31:49
Speaker
Venonized time? it's a bit of It's not been a very venonized time. the I think I better venonot do this again.
00:32:00
Speaker
I agree. That was a good one. I liked that. Right, I'll... What is it you say? Catch you flip side? Yeah, catch you on the flippity
