Ep. 7 Pokemon Day Reactions


Listen Later

Most companies accidentally kill their own hype by revealing their biggest games a year too early. Luckily, Gavin and Dylan are here with the inside scoop from Pokémon Day—the real stuff drops in 2026 and 2027. If you’re craving fresh Pokémon takes, and gaming news that hits harder than a Pikachu with a thunderbolt, this episode is your ultimate trigger warning.

We kick things off by dodging the typical “In this episode...” intro and diving straight into Pokémon’s biggest surprises—from the reveal of a new mainline game to the crazy upcoming Pokémon World Championships happening in San Francisco.

You’ll discover:

  • The eye-popping visuals of the new Pokémon trailer—trust us, those waters look the best they've ever been.
  • The adorable starters: Gecqua, Pombon (think fiery Pomeranian), and Browt (a combo of duolingo and angry birds), plus their potential evolutions—please, no Incineroar rerun!
  • The hype around Pokémon Champions launching in 2026, with early access bonuses on switch to make competitive gameplay more accessible (including your beloved Dragonite).
  • An exciting tease of Pokémon Winds and Waves—two mysterious new entries that are shaping up to be worth the wait, even if it’s 2027.

Plus, they cover the latest updates for Pokémon Go’s 10th anniversary, sneaky DLC drops, and the charming universe of Pokopia—think cozy farmstead meets Pokémon—but with a twist. If you’re the type who loves some good laughs about what goofy Pokémon designs they could keep or ditch, this episode is a must-listen. Ideal for gamers, Pokémon fanatics, theme park explorers, or anyone who loves a good laugh and the promise of new adventures just over the horizon. Whether you’re team Winds or Waves, one thing’s for sure—you’ll leave this episode smiling and more excited about 2026 and 2027 than a toddler in a candy store.
