Alola Tourism Committee Episode 10 – The Elite Four

The Creature Quorum ·

2025/10/29

Ultra Necrozma? Done and dusted. Mina's Trial? Did it. Hapu's Grand Trial? Completed. Mt. Lanakila? Climbed it. The Elite Four? Smoked 'em. Hau? Bested. On this episode, we ran through the last stretch of Alola like a runaway train, smashing every remaining obstacle between us and the credits. There is, of course, more game after the credits roll. But that will have to wait for another time.The Scanline Media Discord can be found here!

The way our discussion breaks down does not always imitate how our play sessions went. Sure, we spend a third of the pod talking about Aether Paradise. We talk Hapu and Seafolk Village, we talk the Altar of the Sunne and the Altar of the Moone, we talk Trials and Necrozma. But most of our time? Was fighting in the aptly named "Vast Poni Canyon." Yeah, that... that's a dungeon, right there.Next episode, we are hopefully closing out the main story of Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon! We'll be

Alola Tourism Committee Episode 8 – Peril in Po Town

Team Skull. The island challenge dropouts have hounded us since the beginning of the game, kidnapping pokemon, blocking public roads, harassing bystanders. Oh, and trying to beat us up, though their efforts have been pretty laughable. But this week, they go too far. And it's up to us to head to their hometown to bring justice to them where they live. ACAB includes Nanu, in fact it might include him more than most fictional cops.Our playtime for this ep leaves us at the base of the Aether

A haunting experience this week as we tool around Ula'ula, finally fighting the leader of Team Skull and challenging a throwback in the form of the Nugget Bridge, but it's all building to a shopping experience we won't soon forget. Sure, the Haunted Thrifty Mega Mart is spooky. But it's also really hard, with the Totem Mimikyu thrashing us within an inch of our lives. Past that inch, in some instances....Next time, we challenge Team Skull on their home turf- Po Town! Then we'll knock out the

2025/08/09

A shorter piece of game gives us time to linger and explore, and we're all the better for it. Akala Island has a lot to offer, from ?evil? scientists to definitely deranged influencers to our main topic- a friggin' volcano with a dance contest at its peak! Boy howdy, lot to dig into there. Plus: Hapu! She's the best!Next episode, we will CONCLUDE Akala Island with Mallow's Trial and the Grand Trial! The Scanline Media Discord can be found here!

We're leavinggggg! On a Mantine! Don't know why cuz I'm back again! ...Hold me like you'll never let me go? Or is that part BEFORE the chorus? I don't know the song that well. We finish our first island, leave, and then turn around and come back because hey we weren't actually done. But THEN it really is on to island number two, a watery trial, and a trailer full of infinite Pikachus. It's probably not cursed. Probably.For our next episode, we're playing up through Kiawe's trial on Akala

An interesting theme of empty homes this week as our journey through the Trial and Grand Trial of Melemele Island sees us stopping by the homes of both Ilima and Guzma. We start sticker collecting, learn to do Z-Moves, and... have Metal Gear Solid 3 flashbacks? Alola means "hello," "goodbye," and "enemy spotted."For our next episode, we're playing up through Lana's trial on Akala Island! The Scanline Media Discord can be found here!

The Creature Quorum – Unova Tourism Committee Finale

The Creature Quorum ·

2025/04/16

We've taken the League Challenge, and fought our way through eight gyms to the Elite Four, beaten them, and then the champion. (Kind of.) We've beaten N, and proved he should have more faith in humanity. We bonded with two ancient dragons of legend, and used their might to beat Team Plasma.Then we started over. We took the League Challenge anew. We beat back a reformed Team Plasma. There was a third dragon, we got that friend too. Ghost houses. The return of N. The story of the rising champ

Here we are- the reason Magellan encouraged us to pick up our watch pods of the Pokemon movies to begin with. Are you READY. To see LEGENDARY POKEMON LATIAS. Kiss a HUMAN BOY. We're heading to PokeVenice, we're shapeshifting, we're corrupting gems, we're solving ancient sliding tile puzzles. If you thought the last Pokemon movie was a bit of a whiff, don't worry. We're back on track.Incidentally, Six writes these show notes and maybe some other people wouldn't quite say the same thing.

It's dungeon time, baby. A nothing town with a weak gym (though the inside is cool!) lasts as long as a Mento before we're off to a cave, then a floating fortress, then a cave, then a floating fortress, then a cave, then a cave. I hope you brought Surf. And a lot of patience. It's time for the Team Plasma Payoff, and... sorry Allen, it's a bit overhyped for what we got.Victory Road lies before us, after which is the Elite Four. Unlike the first Black & White, we plan to some post-game

The road to Opelucid City is paved with good intentions. And stones. And gravel. And clay! And grass. And sand. And interrupting legendaries (plural). And... well look, it's a long friggin' road. A pretty interesting one, too! We enjoy the small towns we missed in Black & White, relax on Village Bridge, mourn death in the Strange House, and much more in a really cool and exciting stretch of game.Next time, Humilau City... and more? We haven't decided exactly where to draw the line. We're

You know, I used to live in a former mining town. Carbondale, it was called. Gives away the game a bit, the "carbon" part. "Driftveil City" may not have any minerals in the name, but it's a former mining town through and through. Clay has turned this blue collar burg into a gentrified pocket of apartment buildings and fancy tourist attractions. But when one of those attractions is a big Pokemon trainer tournament, well... who's to say if gentrification is good or bad?Next time: Mistralton City

Last episode was our first time revisiting a city from Black & White now that we're in 2. It was a little underwhelming, to be honest. I began to think that maybe this was gonna be a bit of a letdown. But the Nimbasa City area? Hoppin', jumpin', bumpin'. The heck with Castelia, this is the REAL jewel of Unova.On our next episode, we're headed west to Driftveil! The Scanline Media Discord can be found here!

Your first time in the Big City, you're wowed. Perhaps even blown away. But your second time? ...You're probably still blown away in a real city, I guess. In Pokemon, it's a bit... eh. We've already done Castelia City, and while there have been a few interesting changes, it mostly hasn't learned new tricks. It's got one hell of an underground scene, though!this is a joke about the sewers Electric City is next on the docket- we're headed to Nimbasa City for our next episode!

P! O! M! E! M! O N! POMEMON! It's time to rock out in Virbank City, the town with kinda nothing to do! We'll pass back through Route 20 on the way there, swing by the ol' Virbank Complex, have our fifteen turns of fame at the Pokestar Studios, and of course enjoy the musical stylings of Roxie and her band. Flip a coin: if it's heads, she doesn't use a single poison attack on you, and the fight is mad easy. If it's tails, all she uses is Toxic, and it's a nightmare.Next time, we're headed to the
