All right. I don't want the Twitch to mute my screen. The world of Pokemon takes its first step. Uh, so I wonder like if you actually collect all the four kind of main modes if there's actually anything happening after that. So, there seems to be three different rocket things as well. There's like roll on in the middle there with with the cat and the Pikachu. And so, that will definitely build towards something. Oh, there's different combos in the game. So, I mean there I must give him that there's quite a lot of [] going on in this game already. Hit the down targets to light the outline ball save. So that was complete. Storm mode completed. Look at that. Just like that. So now he's lit solid. Destiny has arranged more meetings for our wandering trainer on this quest. Hey, you don't break it. Pokémon discovered. Shoot Pokedex to scan Pokémon. Shoot the town scoop to collect a mystery award. Now he's solid as well. Let's go green Pokemon. or Charmander. No Pikachu. Pokemon discovered. Oh my god. Hit something. 5 4 3 2 1. Time is up. Okay, so that was my Pokédex I screwed up there. Never mind. now. And this balloon can be your ride. Run. Hide. There's no escape. So you like going around picking up your little guy? Time to knock you down a few. Like the thing is that scoop is so mean. Oh, you absolutely bond with their Pokémon bloomed like a flower which will never wilt even in as their journey continues. So it said Bulbasaur one. So you probably have to do them multiple times. Okay. So Pikachu now then. Oops. Super skill shot. Oh, you better. And again. It was the scoop's fault. It was the scoop's fault again. And Pikachu is a multiball. That's good to know in a, you know, tournament situation, you know, get some extra safety there to get some shots in. And since you also have the ability to get the addable, you could get enough battle targets, which should be the priority, right? There we go. So now we got the the adab already. It not only adds the ball but it restarts kind of you know the multiple with three balls which is very handy. Double super jackpot. No, no, no, no. Don't go that way. Okay, so now I want to see what happens here. So now we have Pikachu, Raichu, Pikachu wins. Look at that. There's something good lit on that ramp there. But Pokemon discovered. Okay, so Pikachu versus Chariza. Pikachu versus Charizard. But that's a multiball as well. Look at this. Now we're getting places. A four ball. Okay. So, I'm just going to assume there is a No, we're not getting progress on the targets. You probably don't get an add on this double crisis, baby. Maybe it's time because I got had a very long ball save on this now. Okay, went down. Give me some feedback what I'm supposed to shoot for. Yeah, I need to make a shot in the right orbit, I think. Oh, there it was. No. Oh [] I got some. Was that a ball save or was it? I don't know. Jesus Christ. Did I get into the next phase here? Okay, all the main shots are lit up again, but just need to start nailing things here. Okay, now the captive ball is sort of wanting something from me. Hit that flashing shot to start the face. I can't hit a single thing. That is This is [] ridiculous. Come on, hit something. There we go. Okay, so now we're now we're in the face. Oh, [] scoop. I hate you. Okay, let's see. Main shot. Green forest. A [***] I kind of screwed up. Oh, no. No. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I just need to like calm down here for a second. There we go. Okay. And captive ball. There we go. And look at that. Look at that. And then and you start all start all over again. All fresh. And this is what you do. Scoring is doubled. Oh, 2x scoring. No. Oh, look at that. I MANAGED TO GET IT UP AGAIN with ball safe. Oh, thank you, sir. Ha! Haha, that's bonkers. All right, so I guess did something light up. Oh, look at that. Look at that. You see in the m in the center of the playfield right there. Right. So I completed the Charizard kind of, you know, it's lit solid there. So now I just need to do all this again for each one. That's a tall order. But uh All right. We But it's pretty cool that that's they got a lot of stuff in here, right? I'll be back in 1 second. And I'm back. Time to plunge on. Yeah, the outline ball saves. There's two standups on the on the right there underneath the scoop. That would like the ball shape. The outlane ball saves. Yeah, I mean the the game is fun, right? I mean the thing is this this is my first session on it. I just set it up. I have played like one game last weekend on a on a different Pokemon in a tournament, right? So, I didn't really quite get into it, but this is fun. It has some stuff already like uh plenty of things to shoot. Push the ball to play. Yeah. I mean, this is this is this is this is a fun game. There's no there's no like you can't you can't hide. Yeah. So, the question is now is just like where am I go? Where am I going to go with this? Am I going to The multiball is ready? But Oh, so you get another multi. Yeah, you need to kind of get the add balls. When you get into a multiball like these common multiballs, you want to shoot up in the battle as much as you can until there. You see you I GOT THE UH um center button and that will give you another ball when you hit it. So just when you I drain one of these balls, I get three balls back. And so the journey continued. Yeah, I managed to get the uh the adabole thing kind of lit last week when I played the game. I didn't know what I did, but if you just shoot battles during a multiball a couple of times, it kind of just lights up the button for you. So now I'm in the Bulbasaur mode and I kind of want to and I have Rocket ready. So I want to get that going as well. So you see now during rocket as well I just shoot a center a couple of times. There we go. Now now the uh the action but button is flashing and I got mad already. So that is always the priority when you start a multiball. just shoot the the battle. Oh, super lit on his standard there now. I don't know if it's timed or not. Yeah, it's timed, of course. 3 2 What is that one? Oh, there we go. Jackpot. 5 4 3 2 1 Time is up. Super jackpot. All right, so there 3 million now. is starting to be worth something. And hitting that center between the in the battle there is not There we go. It's not as easy as it looks. All scoring is double. I like that. Thank you, sir. Super jackpot. How much are they worth? Super jackpot. OH MY GOD. DUMB. All right. 42 mil there. Said take it. One for the road. No. Mystery. Don't know what the Poké Balls do yet. So, I want to get the Charizard. I think Charizard is sort of ready. Okay. So now the forest is ready as well. YOU YOU DID IT. WOW. Stop the presses. enter your initials. Another good thing that that's good to know is that like uh it's only the Pikachu right now, which is a which is a multiball, right? So, if you you shoot the ramp a couple of times and you get you get that two ball multiball going, which there's not a whole lot of shots. I think it's like three shots or something like that. I don't play with extra balls. It's just like the games just like go forever. Like this is this is perfect.
