#6: Deep in the Tall Grass: 25 Years, 932 Pokemon
From Pog to Tickle-Me Elmo, many 90s sensations proved to be short-lived fads, but 25 years on Pokemon still has more than a few diehards, to say the least. Angela (Fire type), Robert (Fighting type), and Zack (Bug type) wander through the history of the storied Pokemon franchise and, because this is a more laid back podcast, decline to add the accent to the name of the series in this podcast description.
