I have never played, looked at or even really thought about Pokemon in any of its many, many incarnations (although I did thoroughly enjoy that whole mass seizure episode of 1997), but still, I think it’s safe to say that this guy is everything you could ever have expected and hoped for from the man who has just been crowned Pokemon World Champion. Long live the King.
NOW SHOWING!
WHO WE IS
Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.

Someone should let him know that despite many ‘adults’ playing it – yes, pokemon *is* a game for little kids.
It’s kind of like how my 35 year old brother loves nothing more than settling down with a big bowl of fruit loops and watching cartoon network for 5 hours.

Wow.
I’m usually super attracted to nerds, like, they super turn me on like a 1up mushroom – I lost my virginity to a guy who knew all the combos for each individual Tekken character and called himself Ken Masters… But this Pokémon guy… I think I would only want to be friends.
