[Gen 8] Couple's Consoling Plays Pokemon Shield BLIND Nuzlocke!

[Couples-Consoling]

Today's episode of Couple's Consoling features a lot of discovery - reactions to previously unknown evolutions and galarian variants, trying to figure out how evolutions work, discovering the surprise trade feature and how online things work in the Wild Area... it's a fun time!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Good news! A lot of our party regulars are EVOLVING today - and Ali has NO idea what they'll be turning into! Come check out our reactions to Gen 8 Final Evolutions!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Headed to Stow-on-Side, we stop and talk to a woman named Cara Liss... Little did we know that this day, the Cumberbitch would play God. Life finds a way. To put a fish face onto a stegosaurus tail.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Today, in the Wild Area and the Glimwood tangle, we have the opportunity to try and catch some Pokemon Ali hasn't seen and that David is VERY excited about...

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Alright, we're going in against the fourth gym today - fighting the ghost type user Allister! Perhaps our new imp will be able to help us out??

 

[Couples-Consoling]

In this episode, we discover some historical artifacts behind an... interesting... painting. Leading us to wonder: how the hell has Galar forgotten its own history so thoroughly?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Wow, the Glimwood Tangle does NOT take long to get through, so... time to fight Opal, the Balonlea Gym Leader - after being interrogated in her dingy basement.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We're moving on to new routes, new catches, and new trades! Come check out what we get on routes 7 and 8! Oh, and also this episode, we solve gender politics. You're welcome.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Last episode, we tackled some big issues - but this episode, we get even bigger, as we discuss DugDimmadome's "hat size," and discover whether his hat shrinks in the cold city of Circhester! Oh, and also, it turns out we're NOT well suited to fight ground types... maybe if we catch a new team member, we can fix that?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

 

[Couples-Consoling]

So... have you ever discovered the key to a historical mystery in a fast food joint, or just us?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

It was inevitable we'd have more than one death this Nuzlocke... but who will it be?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Today, we find out what's up with Spikemuth, Marnie, and what type the seventh gym is going to be... and we summon an ancient evil to help us beat it!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Wow, there's FINALLY a real dark type gym... I can't believe it actually happened! Welp, time to wreck it.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

All we have to do is walk in basically a straight line from Spikemuth to Hammerlocke. That's all we've got to do. What could possibly go wrong on the way, right? Well...

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Take a selfie with us, we're at the last gym in the Galar region! We're taking on whatever the Hammerlocke gym challenge is, then we're fighting Raihan in what promises to be our tensest fight yet... So tell me, do you think we'll make it out alive?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Now that we've gotten all eight badges from the Galar region, we've got to figure out where the final fights are going to be. And apparently we're going to be getting real cold on the way there.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Okay, this has gone on long enough. Today, we're figuring out how to evolve our Snom, Elsa, and to make our way to WYNDON!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

So, we figured, hey, let's just go wrap up some things in the Wild Area. It'll be fun to try new things, we said. It'd be simple, we said. How naive we were. This episode was cursed, in only the dumbest ways.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We're in the endgame now - today, we've found our way into Wyndon and the Semi-Finals of the Gym Challenge! We plan on putting Marnie and Hop in their respective places - beneath the Cumberbitch.
