Sofia and Ian join the panel to share memories from the past three years spent with the Nintendo Switch.
Note: Ash Paulsen was stuck at their voting location for 4+ hours before they could vote yesterday, so unfortunately he was unable to make it for this week's episode. I had to strike their PAX East discussion from the episode, as well as questions aimed at him from Patrons. The plan is to get him on the next episode.

Just to add to this, you'd be surprised how many Pokemon have such abysmally low capture rates, that you can just chuck a couple balls at them and get them from full hp. Casting status effects is another way to increase capture rate with sleep offering the highest boost. You can also use moves like Leech Seed that damage the opponent a percentage each turn to whittle them down when you're way over their level. But the most important thing to know about the Wild Area is that once you get credits everything in there gets level boosted up really high, so this current problem won't even exist at that point. Not expecting those two to go back to it, but if they decide to, or just if they play another down the road, then I hope that information comes in handy.

With that said, major props to the winner- I can't imagine how cool it must feel to win a national tournament at that age. Although, naturally many of the contestants in the Junior bracket were also in her approximate age group.

2020-03-06 16:04:20 +0000 UTCI think a better of looking at gens is what their main competitors were during their primary years of production. Wii obviously directly competed against the PS3/xbone. Wii U was 2012, then PS4/XboneX 2013. They primarily competed with one another. Putting them in the same gen. For now, switch is heavily overlapping with those systems too, so it's also the same gen as Wii U/PS4/XboneX. This may change if ps5/nextbox releases soon and if switch hangs around long enough before Nintendo releases another system, putting the switch in the next gen. Otherwise, it remains with the current gen. Competition makes sense to me rather than innovation, power, or order of release.
