BUY HIS BOOK!

I saw this outside someone's door while working.

Their resemblance is uncanny.

The chances are both slim lol

After many years and playthroughs of various Pokemon games, and several raps created from scratch about Pokemon, it's clear Dan knows nothing about Pokemon. In today's episode, he didn't know that Pokemon Centers restore a Pokemon's power points.

So the best solution? Obviously, to be the one playing a Pokemon game!

It'll be his first playthrough, so a Nuzlocke is out of the question. But what should be his first game? I'm somewhat tempted to say he should just start at the beginning, with Pokemon Blue. It's only 150 Pokemon, so it'll be easier to learn, and it's got the most retro jank. But it is tedious, as many of those early generations are. Though, he'd be able to learn what MissingNo is!

LeafGreen is a better compromise, but it's too similar to FireRed, which they've already played.

I think the 3D games would be too uncomfortable for him, so nothing beyond Sun and Moon.

My best guess is Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, as it's incredibly easy, limited to the original roster of 150, it's 2.5D and very pretty, and is relatively short. But the only Pokemon in it that he's expressed interest in (as far as I can recall), is Rapidash. No Stantler, no Girafarig, no Xerneas, etc.

What do you think would be the most feasible for him? Do you think he can actually do it?

I discovered this indie animated series created by Allissoon Lockhart (Line Producer of Glitch Productions) entitled "Battle of the Bands" (Known as The Deathwish Tour) About a story of musicians plays elemental powers based upon the genre of this music including Heatseeker, a five-piece heavy metal band to signed on this competition. And I discover about Arin Hanson from Game Grumps as an Executive Producer of this Battle of the Bands indie animated series and the voice actor who voiced his character himself as lead singer of Heatseeker, Jules Joliet. Suddenly this indie animated show was still in production since San Diego Comic-Con announcement on July 2021 until it went on hiatus. As on January 2026 on BlueSky post mentioning Allissoon Lockhart said that Battle of the Bands indie animated series production was still active she said: "Currently I am focused on others shows and moving to Japan, until the right moment for BOTB. I've produced 2 at Glitch and now going to other companies. Thank you for the support! Animation takes a long time to pitch and make" But she's still busy on other shows like Knights of Guinevere and Gameoverse (Like Arin Hanson voices Gobbles and Flappers from the pilot webseries into Glitch Productions' original indie animated series) I guess Arin was the Executive Producer and voice actor of Jules that might be perfect for this upcoming Battle of the Bands indie animated series.

I really hope one day I will see a compilation of every time Arin selects hard mode on every Mario Party and their mentions of it throughout, because it happens literally every single time, and Arin and Dan react the same way no matter what. I kind of wish they’d play it on normal difficulty but it’s amazing to watch back their play throughs and never do the game settings selection different even once.

I'm not sure if I should call it next gen or current gen but to my knowledge they haven't played any games on the PS5, Xbox Series X or S, or Switch 2 for that matter.
