**Bobby** (0:15)
What's up, everyone?

**Steve Sarumi** (0:16)
Welcome to the 733rd episode of the Pokemon Podcast, It's Super Effective. I'm your host, Steve. With me is Bobby.

**Bobby** (0:25)
Hello. I have become a person who uses a good camp ticket every week in Pokemon Sleep.
Yeah.

**Steve Sarumi** (0:35)
We are in different tax brackets then, if that's what you're saying.

**Bobby** (0:40)
Yeah. I couldn't stop after the-

**Steve Sarumi** (0:46)
It's crazy.

**Bobby** (0:50)
It's only been like three extra weeks or something, but after whatever event, it must have been the third anniversary event, I couldn't go back to having to rely on pot increasers to make my big meals, so I just decided to continue on using the good camp tickets.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:08)
We need to circle back to that. Austin is also here.

**Austin** (1:12)
Hey, do we have any Avatar The Last Airbender fans in this call?

**Bobby** (1:17)
Cool.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:19)
I saw the anime that you can't call it an anime, but I saw the TV show.

**Austin** (1:25)
Well, the new movie is very good. Couple nitpicky parts, but overall, fun time. Thanks for...

**Steve Sarumi** (1:32)
Wait, where can I watch the new movie?

**Austin** (1:34)
Paramount Plus. But that's the same place you can watch Big Brother and Survivor.
Oh, I see why you watched it.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:40)
That makes sense. I started the new not-that-new Digimon anime.

**Austin** (1:46)
Oh, is that good? It looks good.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:48)
Feat break? It's legitimately super good.

**Austin** (1:51)
Okay, I'll start it then.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:53)
I'm very into it. The one complaint was it takes forever for the main Digimon to digivolve, but it's worth it.

**Austin** (2:01)
Okay. How many episodes are out right now?

**Steve Sarumi** (2:05)
Okay. And it ends in September, and it will end with 49 episodes.

**Austin** (2:10)
Oh, I'm also watching new season of King of the Hill.

**Steve Sarumi** (2:14)
With Woke Bobby?

**Austin** (2:15)
With Woke Bobby.

**Bobby** (2:17)
I didn't even know there was a new season of King of the Hill.

**Steve Sarumi** (2:20)
Yeah, he has blue hair. He's like in a K-pop phase.

**Bobby** (2:24)
Did it just come back?

**Austin** (2:25)
There's two new seasons. It came back last year with a new season, and there's a new one this right now.

**Bobby** (2:33)
Because you know how Futurama keeps getting canceled, and then a year or two later, they bring back a new season?

**Austin** (2:40)
I don't know. I got canceled forever ago, but it's back. I don't know.

**Bobby** (2:43)
Okay. Because Futurama keeps getting, like, they cancel it, but then a few years later, they come with a new season, and that just happened again with Futurama as well.

**Steve Sarumi** (2:53)
Where can I watch Woke Bobby?

**Austin** (2:56)
Hulu.

**Steve Sarumi** (2:59)
For the record, I'm watching Digimon on Crunchyroll.

**Austin** (3:03)
Well, you're not going to watch King of the Hill on Crunchyroll.

**Steve Sarumi** (3:07)
Maybe you could.

**Bobby** (3:11)
You know it's not on Crunchyroll, and hasn't been, I guess, for some time. I don't know if either of you ever watched that.

**Austin** (3:18)
No.

**Steve Sarumi** (3:19)
I don't know what that is.

**Bobby** (3:20)
What? It's an anime that's about street racing.

**Steve Sarumi** (3:24)
Cars. Like mid-2000s. Yeah, cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super popular anime. But not to be confused with the movie Cars.

**Bobby** (3:31)
It is not the movie Cars, yes.

**Austin** (3:33)
Speed Racer.

**Steve Sarumi** (3:36)
Okay.
We will talk about Pokémon Sleep and Bobby's new tax bracket he's clearly in. But that will be the second part of the segment. First part here is the Pokopia DLC came out. So we'll be talking about that. Second segment, we have some Scarlet and Violet stuff, some Pokémon Sleep. Third segment, some Pocket, specifically, the fact that what we said six-ish months ago is still true. That Pocket is continuing to lose players, and they're very much aware of that.
Then for our bonus episode, we will do a little bit more Pokopia because there's just too much Pokopia. So if you're really into Pokopia, for $5, you get even more Pokopia in our bonus segment. Maybe Bobby will tell us how he lost $600. We'll save that maybe for the bonus segment as well.

**Bobby** (4:31)
Yes. Good call.

**Steve Sarumi** (4:33)
For $5, we can get Bobby his $600 back. Yes, we can.
You're $5.
We'll fund the negative $600 Bobby fund. Okay. Let's start off with Pokopia. There's a lot. The DLC came out. It's here. There's like 50 new Pokemon. I guess 52, if you count both Frillish, technically. Sure. I guess. One's pink, one's blue. I read all the patch notes. It took me eight full minutes to read the patch notes. We're not going to do this on the show.
