#SuperOldGameSaturday - Pokemon Violet Version 1.0 (Nintendo Switch) - Finale
0Recorded/Aired on Friday, April 26th, 2024
It's been over a year since I started Pokemon Violet Version as a blind let's play here on #SuperOldGameSaturday and, with this part, we're finishing it (at least in terms of the main story). As I've mentioned, this 2022 Nintendo Switch game came out broken and, to highlight that (and how it's still a big mess 10 patches later), I've been playing it in its 1.0 state and for the Finale here, I'm joined by Edwak and Nickie, the people who gave the game to me and made this play possible. With them and the best chat on Twitch, we reached the end of the great story of this game (all of which was new to me) while also showing off more glitches (some pretty hilarious and some that even my guests never saw) that even they never saw, going into our memories and insights of this and, of course, debating the merits of this game and my principles that got me to not buy this game, but also is why we played this on the show in the first place. On top of that, we had great discussions on the trajectory of this series over the years, enjoyed alcohol from our "corporate sponsors", made some epic sandwiches, fought some innocent children and went into an important discussion about "what constitutes a salad?" Though this IS the finale, there is a bit of post-game stuff I'll come back to show in the future that's not the DLC (as far as the DLC goes, I said no pretty definitively on doing it, but I'll discuss some shifting ideas on that next show) and I thank Edwak and Nickie for making this play possible, adding to/putting up with this show and for all of you in the chat for joining us on this journey. Hope you enjoy the close of our Pokemon Violet play (and if you like what you see here, stop by https://www.twitch.tv/captainditrag, where you can join our shows and conversations on what we play each week live, as well as see the planned time of our next stream, which is this Saturday at 7 PM EST)!
