The time has finally come. After what felt like an eternity, Ash and friends finally arrive at Goldenrod City. Ash wastes no time and heads straight to the Gym, only to find a note on the door stating that the Gym was closed. With a Gym battle no longer on the agenda, the crew decides to explore the city where they meet Whitney. Yes, the notorious Whitney from the main series games, and yes, she has her Milltank.

Team Rocket doesn’t have too much screen time in this episode, with an act one blast off with no return to the screen. We do get to see Whitney’s Clefairy use Metronome, which is a ton of fun to see. After blasting off Team Rocket, the truth comes out that Whitney is in fact the Gondenrod City Gym Leader, and before long, the stage is set for an official Johto League Gym Battle.

Ash’s Cyndaquil makes quick work of Whitney’s Nidorina, so she brings out Clefairy and immediately uses Metronome.This episode ends up being filled with action and great visuals, and some pretty aggressive battling. Once Whitney’s Milltank enters the battlefield, things turn sharply in her favor. We all learned how nasty Roll Out is, with Milltank taking out Ash’s team, leaving Ash needing a rematch.

Last week we saw Ash and the crew stumble upon Len town, which was overrun with aggressive Ghost-Type Pokémon! The citizens even had to arm themselves with Psychic-Types, simply to keep the Ghosts away. It was a fun episode but didn’t advance our storyline at all. We went into this episode hopeful, but after learning that it was actually the final episode on the Johto Journey’s run, we know that Goldenrod was also not in our immediate future.

What this episode does bring us is a more human look at our characters, with many of them showing different sides of themselves than we are used to. Specifically Misty and James have some great scenes as we see everyone become obsessed with their Pokémon horoscope.The fun twist is that the book they are holding in such high regard is actually a phony. We learn that well after the fact, so we get the privilege of seeing James go full Moltres, with some amazingly classic one liners.

Out of nowhere we are also treated with the return of Butch and Cassidy, and we are reminded what competent Team Rocket members can actually do. We get some great Team Rocket on Team Rocket battling, and some fresh looking battle animations that help keep you engaged with the story. 

The real treat is Moltres James, which we are confident, will be the most memorable part of the episode and maybe, all of Johto Journeys!

If you can’t be out there catching them all, hang out with us and watch’em all!

As we prepare to watch another episode of our beloved anime, we have high hopes that the crew will reach Goldenrod City. That was however, until Ken crushed their dreams with some factoids he found when researching this week’s show. While the last few episodes have some differences in release schedule compared to Japan, this one was a little different. While The Psychic Sidekick’s is the next episode that follows Forest Grumps, in the US, audiences had to wait two full months to see it, whereas those in Japan only had to wait a week. This episode lands right before the dreaded summer break, which was filled with two full months of reruns.

With things back on track (albeit a bit delayed), the crew comes across a sign with a Trainer’s Tip that reads that Ghost Pokémon are in the nearby woods, and Psychic Type Pokémon are recommended for protection. The crew should have nothing to worry about as they can be protected by, Psyduck! OK, maybe that is wishful thinking, but at least we know there is at least one Psychic Pokémon with them.

The crew curiously stumbles upon a Girafarig and its Trainer, Cherry. Most Trainers in the neighboring Len Town train Psychic Type Pokémon, with Cherry deciding to train Girafarig. The party initially thinks that Girafarig is a Ghost Pokémon, due to the way the head on its tail looks. Cherry helps them learn about her Pokémon, before challenging Ash to a battle. We get our first glimpse of Future Sight, which is played out in a pretty cool way. Pikachu does end up making easy work of Girafarig, though.

Arriving at Len Town, we see Team Rocket up to no good, with a giant Gengar contraption that is scaring the townsfolk and kidnapping Pokémon. Because the giant fake Gengar is not actually a Ghost Pokémon, the Psychic attacks being hurled at it do nothing, and in fact, are mirrored back thanks to the fake Gengar’s mirrored eyes.

After a prolonged battle, we see Girafarig and Pikachu Team up in an awesome way. Girafarig ends up using COnfusion on Pikachu, which allows him to essentially fly Pikachu around. Chetty and Girafarig begin to communicate psychically, and then it is time for another Future Sight, this one finally blasting off Team Rocket! 

This sidewinder episode was fun, but again didn’t have any impact on the journey to Goldenrod City. Who knows, maybe we will run into Cherry and Girafarig again down the road!

We really didn’t know what we were getting into with this episode. We’ve been on our way to Goldenrod City for what seems like a million years, we’ve met an insane cast of characters, and have encountered tons of new Pokémon. We have to get to Goldenrod this episode… Right?

We start the episode off with one of a bunch of really cool moments that we get throughout this episode. The group lets all of their Pokémon out of their Pokéballs for a little relaxation and fun. While the Pokémon play, Team Rocket is getting set up for an epic heist. With all the Pokémon in one spot, this was a great opportunity for them to strike!

It turns out that they have stumbled upon an Ursaring breeding grounds and hilarity is soon to ensue. We pretty much get a nonstop barrage of Hyper Beams from the Ursaring all episode long, which keeps everyone on the run. There is plenty of humor, action, and some pretty great character development afoot.

Later in the episode we see a really cool dynamic that splits both our party and Team Rocket up into groups, and we get to see a different side of both groups. Team Rocket gets a taste of what companionship and caring looks like, and our party gets to take care of instead of battle with Team Rocket.

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 150: Fowl Play!

Recording Date: 9/7/2026

Watch the video version of this podcast at: http://patreon.com/pokemonprofessor 

The long, slow…. Really slow journey to Goldenrod City continues! We noticed a small detail that right away proved that we would not be making it to Goldenrod this episode. Apparently there were some episodes that didn’t follow the Japanese release schedule, with Fowl Play actually releasing almost a month before Love, Totodile Style! Not sure why this episode broke the timeline, but never the less, we journey on!

The episode begins with Ash and the crew finding a birdhouse tucked into a tree, when they suddenly see a Noctowl! When Ash pulls out his Dex to scan it, he ends up seeing  a man, hidden in the tree shooing the Noctowl away! A small scuffle ensues and we are introduced to Dr. Wiseman, who is studying and watch to catch a Shiny Noctowl! While we have seen unique variants of Pokémon like the Crystal Onix and the Pink Butterfree, this is the debut of an actual Shiny Pokémon. It coincides with the release of Shiny Pokémon in Gold & Silver.

It isn;t long before we Team Rocket takes a liking to Shiny Noctowl, and it becomes a free for all to try to catch it. We even see Team Rocket blast off Dr. Wiseman, leaving it up to Ash to save the day. He ends up using multiple Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil to take on Team Rocket’s giant Noctowl Machine, before sending in Pikachu to finish the job.

After Team Rocket is taken care of, Shiny Noctowl challenges Ash to a battle. We see some cool move combinations and battle animations, which lead to an epic battle between Noctowl and Pikachu. Will Pikachu and Ash be able to defeat Noctowl! Check out this week’s episode to find out!

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 149 - Love, Totodile Style

Recording Date: 9/3/2026

Publish Date: 9/4/2026

Watch the video version of this podcast at: http://patreon.com/pokemonprofessor 

We placed our bets last week on whether or not we would arrive at Goldenrod this episode, and we both thought it would take at least one more additional episode. We were absolutely correct, as Ash and the crew get caught up in another side quest, this time, following Totodile who has fallen for an Azumarrill!, who is Trained by Trixie. We also meet Trixie’s Golduck, and as it turns out, they are working in a full blown circus!

THe circus is the perfect place for a Team Rocket appearance, and we see the Meowth Balloon and some new cage weapons used pretty effectively by Meowth, who captures Pikachu and Azumarill. The Meowth Balloon was then able to sneak away thanks to a Smokescreen from Weezing. They take up in a nearby cabin, only to be spotted by Trixie’s Pidgey in the morning, when we get a quick battle that sends them blasting off.

This episode didn’t add much to the story at all. We get some character building with Totodile, but in such a weird way. It is pretty funny that Totodile is just like Brock. Brock was definitely in his glory in this episode, even though he has to leave his latest love, Trixie behind. Beyond that, we are still on route to Goldenrod. Will Ash pull a Pokémon back from Professor Oak, or will he capture his 6th Pokémon for his team?

Last week we had a ton of action that will be hard to beat! We saw Poliwag evolve into Poliwhirl and Ash end up with a new Pokémon! All of this happened on their way to Goldenrod City! We have seen Ash and the party complete numerous side quests and diversions on their journey, and this episode is no different!

Hot Matches! Begins at a random Pokémon Center with no context given about where they could be! One thing is for certain, we aren’t in Goldenrod City.We meet Miki, who Brock immediately falls for, and we see an immediate battle between her Skarmory and Brock’s Vulpix. We learn quickly that this Skarmory is serious, and that Miki isn’t messing around. Ash steps up to battle and his Cyndaquil is taught a lesson too! Unfortunately, Team Rocket steps in and breaks up the battle.

This episode definitely lives up to its name, as the battles are frequent and intense. We see Ash put Cyndaquil through some one on one training, and some cool combinations of attacks like Agility and Tackle.We don’t see much of Team Rocket, and the story wraps up with points for world building and action, but it falls a bit short in terms of moving the story along.

Let us know what you think! Will we get to Goldenrod next week?

Last week we had a side quest of an episode with the party having to deal with a squad of Houndour. We had some expectation of making it to Goldenrod City in this episode but those hopes went out the window early into this episode. We start off with the party fishing in a pond in hopes of watching some water type Pokémon. Misty even busted out her Special Lure which is a recurring item that hilariously is just a miniature version of herself with hooks on it. It doesn’t take long for Totodile to reveal himself and it makes it clear that this episode will be all about him.

Ash and Misty immediately but heads about who should catch the Totodile, with Ash even sending out Pikachu with attacks in a very aggressive move. We see some serious competition between the two, even having a formal battle. Togepi makes its battle debut and it is just as awesome as you would think. In the end, Ash ends up catching Totodile, leaving just one more open spot on his team. The battle did have some excitement as Misty’s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl.

Team Rocket pulls a classic move and gets dressed up in disguises, leading to a battle and Totodile’s first battle under Ash’s guidance. He is fast on its feet, and it takes care of Team Rocket pretty easily.

Perhaps we only need to wait one more episode to get to Goldenrod City, but at least we have had some awesome battles to hold us over!

Last week we made it through a tunnel full of Onix! Will we finally reach Goldenrod City to challenge the Gym Leader?

As predicted, we have a fun sidewinder episode that continues the trend of focusing on a single Pokemon species. The party stumbles upon some Pokémon footprints and start to track them down. In a nearby town (not Goldenrod City), we see Nurse Joy and Chansey, who play an important role in this episode. There are a series of thefts happening, including the mystery of Nurse Joy’s stolen ham.

Brock sets up a hilarious trap involving wooden sausages and we finally get introduced to Houndour, who happens to be the first Dark-Type Pokémon to be shown in the anime. It leads to an epic battle with a group of Houndour and a bunch of the team’s Pokémon like Pikachu, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, Onix, and Psyduck. We also have the debut of Pikachu using the attack, Leer!

If the Houndour weren’t enough, Team Rocket shows up and has a plan to capture the Houndour, which in the end results in the Houndour leader trusting Ash. While we didn’t get to Goldenrod City, this episode had some great battles, Pokemon and attack debuts, and a great story about gratitude.

On their way to Goldenrod City, we saw the party stumble upon a school for Wooper, where they met Olesia. Brock falls in love, Misty kept him in check, and Ash is still hungry to get to Goldenrod City for his next Gym battle. 

We begin this episode’s journey with the party arriving at the Onix Tunnel, which you guessed it, is filled with Onix. Ash is confident that the Onix would be no match for his Squirtle, and Misty has a bag full of Water Pokémon as well. They decide to camp out for the night before taking on the tunnel, and we get two all back characters come back to the show… Jigglypuff and Madam Muchmoney’s Snubbull.

The next morning we see Team Rocket at the entrance of the tunnel, which turns into some great battles with the Onix.They learn fast that these Onix are not to be taken lightly, as Jesse even resorts to throwing Meowth at one of them! We cut to Ash and crew who are beginning their morning with some warm ups for their journey through the tunnel, when they encounter Snubbull and Jigglypuff. Of course we get to see and hear Jigglypuff put everyone to sleep, including Team Rocket, who surrendered back from the tunnel nearby.

This episode’s Team Rocket battle is fantastic. We see Misty’s Poliwag in action, who puts on a show with its Double Slaps. Chikorita and Wobbuffet get into it, but Pikachu was there for the finish to send Team Rocket blasting off. To celebrate, Jigglypuff puts on one more show, putting everyone back to sleep!

Maybe next episode we will get to Goldenrod City?
