Nice. Loved the commentary, and the whole section about Scarftar.
When's the Itunes channel coming out?

Next Smogcast Guests: Koala Corp (YEA!)

Anyways, decent first start. It would be super cool though if somehow you guys can have a webcam cast just so we can tell who is who because I had no idea Loki was in it b4 someone told me. Also its sexy cool to see hot faces

Yeah, webcam is unlikely. I don't feel like buying new shit for something that's 99% audio anyway.

Lah-tee-ahs lol

I pronounce it Lat-ee-iss

see-zor caught me off guard too.

Anyway, pronunciations aside, this was really cool. It felt like a condensed version of #stark when there are serious pokemon chats going on. Can't wait for the next one.

Also poor Loki.

Yeah, pronunciations kinda threw me off. I always thought they were SIH-zoor and ROW-tom.

I too thought it was great.

Awesome podcast. I personally don't use Rotom when I play Shoddy because I can't use it on Wifi. :x

i would honestly rather listen to this than a chemistry lecture, which i reallllly should be paying attention to. thank you so much for making this. i have a question tho... i use a CB scizor, and im getting alotta crap for it. is there anything that carries pursuit and a wicked hard priority move i can use as a replacement? thanks!

also about the leadchamp, ive noticed some new lead LO azelfs and starmies running psychic just for that reason. also another counter is sash luke with close combat/extremespeed

By the way, this'll be on iTunes as in "this is a podcast", not as in "you will have to pay anyone for it".

Why not just download it as an MP3? The download IS on the front page.

Because it's inconvenient. It's much easier to just have Zune Marketplace or iTunes handle your podcasts as they update rather than go to every site and download them individually.

Chris is me should probably go ahead and do that instead of being an ass. Then again, Mikazukinoyaiba probably shouldn't be giving that attitude either. I might give this a listen once it's up on iTunes.

That shit was long, but I actually enjoyed it. =) I listened to the entire thing, while playing shoddy, of course. ^_^ I'd like to listen to another one. Also, maybe doing them more frequently so they aren't so long? If that makes any sense...xD

The issue of "Doing them more frequently" is mainly an issue of getting all our panelists together at the same time. We're shooting for once every 2 weeks, with writing and production week kinda swapping places, but again, no hard promises.

I'm listening to it now. I must say I really like it, and I'm in almost total agreement with it so far.

Still can't get over the accents though - in my head you all speak the Queen's English!

It's very amusing listening to people saying OHKO. Somtimes One-hit-kay-oh, sometimes Oh-koh.

Just when I was wondering why Smogon didn't have a podcast, this comes along :)

I think that 90 minutes is just a shade too long in one sitting. Perhaps it'd benefit from being split into 30 minute segments, even if it's recorded all at once. But generally I thought it was really excellent, especially as a first podcast. Recording every two weeks is better than I would have hoped for, so if you can meet that schedule then this is be a pretty exciting development!

Oh, and all your pronunciations were spot on with what I was expecting (although I was thrown by "oh-koh" to start with lol)

Downloading it at the moment, but since we're on the topic of pronunciation, I've always said sy-za for Scizor (Australian accent :P), lay-tee-as for Latias and row-tum for Rotom. I'll edit this post with my thoughts on the actual podcast tomorrow.

EDIT: Listened to it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I listened to it till midnight! It was an interesting insight into the metagame.

Yeah yeah, above all else we've gotten the most comments regarding "how we pronounce stuff". Really, it's just a "personal preference" kind of thing, since there's no standardized pronunciation guide outside of maybe being a diligent follower of the anime. Sorry to anyone that we may have irked, but at the same time, expect more of it in the future.

That said, we really appreciate all your comments! Glad to hear that the community is reacting so positively to this project!

"Where can I get my choice band heracross?" lol, you guys did an awesome show.

The pronunciations for latias and rotom didn't bug me, but SCEEZOOR threw me the first time I heard it. (though I guess it would be good to separate it from something that just cuts papers)
