Episode 132: Pokémon WIZARD [Pokémon Pinball RS]

Somehow... it has taken us over 130 episodes to finally play a pinball game.  Perhaps more surprising is that this is only our third Pokémon game.  On a vaguely related note, everyone I know pronounces it "Pókemon", but we were all kids who didn't understand accents at the time.  At any rate, we're going to loop our way through hatching, catching, evolving... Really, everything in this game comes down to shooting 1 of 4 loops.  Also, occasionally annoying a Pelipper enough to cause it to eat you.



2 ramp shots is enough to activate the download, but the 3rd gives you a chance for the stinger.

Show Notes

(02:30) Sunk cost fallacy and the Nigerian prince scam.

(03:30) Stupid Sweeper bonus.

(05:30) Yoshi's Wooly World is really good!  Play it!

(15:30) 7DTD tales.  The other players decided to ignore existing buildings and made a death spire.

(24:00) Getting into the game proper.  There are a lot of problems that mar this otherwise promising game.

(44:00) Pinball, Force style.


Next time on Last Time, Street Fighter 2010!  Sadly, no shoryukens.
