Episode37 highlights


Happy White Day! White Day is a Japanese holiday celebrated on March 14th that's an extension of Valentine's Day.



Our weekly Black & White discussion - Henry's working on post-game quests, and admits to wasting his Master Ball on a non-legendary. Lucky for him, you can obtain two Master Balls in B&W (see our handyitem location guidefor details). Also, we make a correction aboutobtaining Zorua and Zoroarkpre-National 'dex.

Your launch stories - No parties for serious Pokemon trainers, apparently. It sounds like everyone got the game and quietlygot to business adventuring through Unova.

Satoshi Tajiri is alive and well - A terrible rumor circulated on Twitter that Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri had died in the recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan. He is alive and unharmed.

Pokemon of the week: Haxorus - Henry presents his case for this pure Dragon-type.

Question of the week: How important is it to you to catch every Pokemon?

See you next week!
