yeahtoast! 106 Posted August 20, 2018 Dash Grabum! I never get tired of hearing an astonished Scott and guest(s) reacting to Zach masterfully explaining the actual mechanics of the Pokémon games. Also, Blastoise shall now forever be pronounced /'blæstwa/. 1 Share this post Link to post

Because it seems like it's based on "tortoise" and should be "Blast-us", right? I'm glad Tawny (great charac, BTW) was on this episode since she previously appeared on an Off Book ep with a lot of Pokemon talk and is clearly amused by it. Share this post Link to post

Generally. Some portmanteaus are clumsier than others. 1 Share this post Link to post
KingAfroJoe 1 Posted August 29, 2018 Oh my god Dash Grabum is the best! I'm a new CBB listener. The Jon Hamm episode was my first. Since then I have been hooked! It's so good to here Dash Grabum again, continue to subjugate those pocket monsters! Much love to Andy and the great host Scott Podcasterman 1 Share this post Link to post

It really just depends on regional dialect like in Louisiana and Northern NY/Maine they pronounce it Blastwah like the French pronunciation and in the West and Midwest and Florida it's pronounced Blastus and in the Northeast and Detroit it's pronounced Blastoys like "You Guys." In Japan since they don't have an L in the alphabet they decided to just translate it literally as カメックス (katakana) which is pronounced like Kamecks. I'm not sure of the Hiragana spelling but it still doesn't have an L. 1 Share this post Link to post
