The Indigo Disk Preview Breakdown | Goldenrod Podcast #75 

Very interesting topic and discussion. So much to take in ill watch again

Listening to you getting excited and "tangenting" about what the Indigo Disk can be has us getting pumped. Can't wait for it to be out and to hear your final thoughts on it.

It would be cool if each elite four had a challenge that you needed one of your companions to complete. Cook off, you and Arven. Obstacle challenge to test the bond of you and your legendary bike dragon. Double battle with Nemona, and lastly some kind of tech puzzle for you and Penny.

Congrats on the new job Hoenn, but cannot wait for you to get full time YT! I also cannot wait for more of your DEFINITIVE tier lists. As a full PokeNerd here, Diantha does use Goodra, just not as her Ace. I actually find her to be underrated, and underutilised like a lot of XY. Relates to her team diversity. Maybe for a short one, you could rank the Champions? (And anyone you consider Champion in your mind)

I imagine it will be story based, let you experience some of the blueberry academy before throwing you into the plot that will conclude before you face the elite four and Keiran.

So I'm really enjoying the new monsterverse (Godzilla/Kong universe) series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters where it's following two storylines in the past and present around discovering monsters and lore around their existence. QOTP: Which region would you tell a parallel storyline of past events and present events to unravel a mystery around a legend or a group of legendary Pokemon, and who would be the three main characters in each timeline that these stories would follow to solve the mystery?

Surely nobody actually could believe that the blueberry Academy could sink as part of the storyline and be destroyed.. That would mean the developers created this biome for us to explore and have access to new pokemon/ returning Pokémon in...but at somepoint during the experience destroy it leaving the player without access to the new content anymore.... Impossible...unthinkable...id have thought 😅

Gamefreak only needs design control for game development that way that can create Pokemon with gimmicks that will work in game. Pokemon company could potentially create a Pokemon that doesn't work in game they're not devs that get what it takes to make a dondozo tatsugiri gimmick or even just stone evolution. This Pokemon evolves with a stone it's easy we make an in game item and when you use it on this Pokemon it evolves that's probably all gamefreak So if illca created an original game they could make the game more like GO or if a new dev team got a chance at creating a Pokemon RPG they would have to create Pokemon based on their hardware potential or whatever so they have like a mechanism where your accuracy is real time so you aim for your Pokemon moves to hit that uses whatever joystick and sight on the screen maybe it's harder to aim down the sight the more powerful the move is but flamethrower would be easy maybe

Goodra is used by Diantha, it's just not her ace.
