Own Tempo Episode 11 - Eevee Extended Family

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 13:00:00 -0500

In this shockingly late episode, we discuss the final starter, Eevee, and all the various ways everyone's favorite fluffy some-kind-of-carnivoran-mammal can reach its full potential!

Own Tempo Episode 10 - Pikachu and Associates

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Sorry for the wait! To make up for it, this episode is pretty long and contains even more guys that previous ones! We discuss Pikachu and its understudies, each with their own appeal and vibe that is explored in different ways -- plus, a special guest!

Own Tempo Episode 9 - The Paldea Starters

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Sorry for the delay! Getting a new job meant it was harder for me to make time to edit this episode, especially since it's a long one! We discuss the story of Scarlet and Violet at length in the latter third or so, and there's a lot to discuss. Play Scarlet and Violet! They're great!

Own Tempo Episode 8 - The Galar Starters

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Luv's audio is terrible because she appears to have forgotten to make sure which microphone she was using, but the gang manages to stay remarkably on topic until near the end, so that's good at least.

Only one generation of starters left! What shall our gang do next, I wonder...

Own Tempo Episode 7 - The Alola Starters

Fri, 10 May 2024 09:00:00 -0400

This episode is a week late for absolutely no reason other than everyone just got extremely distracted. Also, in this episode we talk a ton about Alola but not as much about the starters as is possibly ideal for an episode supposedly dedicated to them.

There's a lot of things about Alola to discuss, is the thing.

Own Tempo Episode 6 - The Kalos Starters

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0400

Under an hour this time! We stay almost entirely on topic except when we get all excited about a different franchise near the end. Fun!

Own Tempo Episode 5 - The Unova Starters

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Weird audio from Luv this time because of a technical issue we missed, will be fixed in the next one. Shockingly, we mostly don't talk about stuff that isn't Pokemon this time, though we do wander away from the starters a bit near the end.

Own Tempo Episode 4 - The Sinnoh Starters

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 13:00:00 -0500

PSA: we discuss Chuggaaconroy a bit in this episode in a positive manner, because this was recorded on January 14th, a while before the news about him came out. Take care of yourselves, and don't listen if you're in a bad headspace about that whole situation.

This episode is a bit all over the place in general, but that's our brand at this point, so hopefully it's not actually that big of a deal.

Own Tempo Episode 3 - The Hoenn Starters

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 11:00:00 -0500

In which we arguably talk more about Digimon than our topic, because the Hoenn starters are all so solid and generally respected it's hard to say new things about them.

Own Tempo Episode 2 - The Johto Starters

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 18:00:00 -0500

We move on to Johto! Lots of strong opinions and tangents in this episode.

Own Tempo Episode 1 - Kanto Starters

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Three friends who have spent their lives playing Pokemon talk about their feelings towards specific Pokemon species! We're starting, fittingly, with the starter Pokemon.
