Elite Full Restore is back for the new year and yet again we’ve brought a guest, we’re joined this week by Zane (@epengu) to talk Fakemon, Smash Bros and generally to give us a hard time.

• The Wild West of Early Internet Pokemon Fandom
• Zane blankets the entire podcast with callouts of EZBoard, Miyamoto, Postgame of Thrones, his own brother and, of course, us
• Fear and loathing in the Smogon OverUsed tier
• Mother 3 is never coming to the West and we all need to expect it no Aury I’m not letting you put that in the show notes
• Matt gets the Pokemon Go section to a cool five seconds
• Super Mystery Dungeon is a bullshit baby game
• Aury damage calcs an offhand joke because they’re a huge nerd
• We talk Fakemon & fake types, both ones we’ve made and ones we’d love to make
• French and German Pokemon names are extremely good
• Zane answers that one question we get every week
• Bulbapedia gets down and dirty
