  • Tricks Of The Trade

    This episode is a bit of a wildcard, with an interesting plot direction, right from the start. Ash and the party are walking in Palmpona when they meet Benny and his Wobbuffet. What makes it interesting is that from the get-go, Benny is looking to trade away his Wobuffett, even though he has trained hard with it. This is the first time in the series that we see a Trainer that is actively looking to trade away their Pokémon, and it does strike a moral chord.

    During their time in Palmpona, they learn about the Running of the Tauros event, which presents Ash with the opportunity to call Professor Oak to request a transfer  of active Pokémon, sending back his Heracross in trade for his Tauros. This leads to an exciting showdown between Ash and Fernando in a Tauros v Tauros mirror match. Ash ends as the victor, which makes Benny want to trade his Wobbuffet for Ash’s Tauros.

    Benny ends up setting up a trade at a trading machine with a random Trainer for a Stantler, however the other Trainer pulls out at the last minute. A series of unfortunate events leads to Jessie hitting her head on the machine and her Pokéball containing Lickitung hitting the trade machine in just the right spot. This will absolutely cause some confusion later in the episode. 

    We end up getting quite a few battle scenes, with Chikorita putting in some work against Team Rocket’s new and surprising Wobbuffet.Benny ends up super excited about his new Lickitung, and we’re sure Lickitung is happier now that he doesn’t have to deal with Team Rocket. Not putting the pieces of the puzzle together, Ash never realizes that this Lickitung once belonged to Jessie. As for Wobbuffett, he may actually enjoy the Rocket Life, and even gets to have a taste of being blasted off in his first episode!

    Ash was quick to leave Azalea town after acquiring the Hive Badge, and the party is on their way through Ilex Forest. They stumble on a young Trainer who is having a hard time getting his Farfetch’d to properly use cut. Sylvester introduces himself and explains how he is working on gathering materials to create “purifying charcoal”. Brock is familiar with the material, and Ash encourages the Trainer to keep trying.

    Once at the Pokémon Center, Ash calls Professor Oak on the video phone and fills him in on his recent adventures like the Lure Ball that Kurt gave him and his new Hive badge. Ash’s Pokémon like Muk, Kingler, Snorlax, and Tauros make a cameo as he learns that Goldenrod City will be their next destination. Just after the call, Sylvester comes running into the Pokémon Center in a panic as he has lost his Farfetch’d again. We learn that Sylvester is under immense pressure from his Father Yosaku who regularly reminds him of his shortcomings.

    The team decides to put a search party together for Farfetch’d, and we see an incredible amount of Pokémon make appearances. While on the hunt, Farfetch’d encounters Team Rocket, and a massive, multi Pokémon battle ensues, and we get to see some serious moves and battling. The battle ends with Sylvester stepping up to command Farfetch’d to get him to use cut on trees, trapping Team Rocket long enough for Pikachu to blast them off.

    We get a feel good moment back in town, as Yosaku tells Sylvester that he is proud of him. On that high note, the party sets off for Goldenrod City, but not before receiving some charcoal for the road.

    This episode wastes absolutely no time getting right down to it! We closed last week’s episode knowing that we were on the way to the Azalea Town Gym, now that it is functioning again (thanks to the Slowpoke). What we didn’t know was that as soon as Ash steps foot in the Gym, that an almost full episode length battle was about to go down. We meet the Azalea Town Gym Leader, Bugsy, who you guessed it, is a Bug-Type Trainer. Within minutes, the stage is set with Ash and Bugsy taking their positions on the battlefield.

    Before long we realize that Bugsy has an all Bug team, with Spinarak being his first choice. With Charizard not available, Ash decides on Cyndaquil to start the battle, having a strong type-advantage. Ash realizes quickly that Cyndaquil needs a little time to warm up, as the Spinarak makes pretty quick work of him before being called back to his Pokéball. Something also worth mentioning is that the battle animations in this episode look incredible, with more details, frames, and the speed lines that we all love.

    We see Ash bring out Chikorita and Pikachu to help bring things home, but it’s Cyndaquil that closes the deal for the team. We see Bugsy bring out a Metapod who has some fancy moves, and a Scyther, that puts on a show with both Double Team and Sword Dance. Ash has to be quick on his feet to figure out how Cyndaquil’s flames can get past Sword Dance, and a daring move let’s the attack land in spectacular fashion. This battle was awesome.

    We saw very little of Team Rocket in this episode, as they did show up to the battle only to be accidentally shocked by Pikachu, which of course worked out for everyone. Once the Gym Battle is complete and Ash earns his Hive Badge, Maizie catches up with the team to give them some fresh Apricorn Pokéballs that Kurt made. Ash and Misty take Lure Balls, and Brock takes a Heavy Ball. It was really cool seeing the different types of Pokéballs, especially after learning how they are made!

  • Going Apricorns

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 139: Going Apricorns

    Recording Date: 4/27/2026

    Publish Date: 5/3/2026

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

    We finally make it to Azalea Town! We also get one step closer to understanding the GS Ball! We see Ash hand off the GS Ball to Kurt, who is excited to take a closer look. We won’t have closure on this part of this story arc though, as Kurt has absolutely no idea what the GS Ball is or how it works! Confident he can learn more over time, he will have to hold on to the GS Ball for longer to go into deeper analysis.

    We actually learn a lot about Poké Balls in this episode, as Kurt has mastered the art of harvesting Apricords and converting them into different types of Poké Balls. This lore is VERY welcomed in a series of episodes that have been tangential to the main quest. With Lane being an expert on Johto, he reveals that unfortunately, we won’t hear about the different types of balls that Kurt makes after this episode. 

    Team Rocket actually turns their priority from kidnapping Pikachu to stealing Kurt’s Apricorn operation. They think if they can make a fortune off of selling the unique Poké Balls. We meet a few Pineco, as they are hanging off of the apricorn trees, and they get involved in a scuffle with Team Rocket. When the dust settles, we see Brock have the opportunity to not only catch a Pineco, but to do it in one of Kurt’s custom Fast Balls.

    While we haven’t yet reached the Azalea Town gym, it was definitely cool that Brock was able to add a new Pokémon to his roster!

  • A Shadow Of A Drought

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 138

    Recording Date: 4/13/2026

    Publish Date: 4/14/2026

    After what seemed like a million episodes of journeying to Azalea Town, it is finally time for us to arrive! As the party approaches the city, the heat begins to get to them, forcing them to take a break. Misty has the great idea to bring out Staryu, which acts as a sprinkler to cool every one off. This opens up the narrative about how the area has been stricken with a drought, and they may need to conserve their water abilities.

    While the party soldiers on to Azalea Town, Team Rocket decided they would dig in order to beat the heat and find water. With the help of the Super Diglett Mark 2 (their new very expensive and elaborate robot), they bore through the ground with ease before stumbling into a natural water reservoir deep in the caves. That’s when they notice that they are not alone.Surrounded by red eyes in the dark, we learn that this cave is filled with Slowpoke.

    Back above ground, Ash learns that due to the drought, all Azalea Town businesses, including the Gym, are closed until further notice. If there was only a way to end this drought! Aha! The Slowpoke legends speak that they are rainmakers, so the citizens regard the Slowpoke as their lifeline. Now they just need to figure out how to get the Slowpoke to do… anything.

    It’s worth pointing out that Azalea Town is also a critical location for the main story, with Ash still needing to deliver the mysterious GS ball to Kurt. The shenanigans begin thanks to Team Rocket, and we meet Kurt in an unexpected place and position. A major battle ensues, resulting in Team Rocket’s captured Slowpoke being freed. This leads to the Slowpoke fulfilling their prophecy and bringing rain to Azalea Town. Soon the land is filled with fresh water and greenery, which only means one thing. The Gym must be open!

    With last week’s episode leaving us just outside Azalea Town, we surely should be arriving there this episode… right? The narrator takes the wind out of our Azalea Town sails almost immediately as we see the party lost in the woods, when we meet Koji, a somewhat pushy and aggressive Trainer that is tracking a wild Cyndaquil. Once Ash hears this, he considers it a challenge and breaks off from the pack. That’s when things get interesting.

    Team Rocket shares some insight on how they had to work odd jobs between their Rocket duties in order to keep up with their villainous lifestyle. They bust out the Meowthinator mech to take on Ash and the crew, and ultimately go after the Cyndiquil, as it is something new for them to hyper fixate on. We see Cyndaquil use a massive Flamethrower on the Meowthinator which sets Pikachu up for the final strike. Just before a the massive explosion, Ash captures Cyndaquil in a Pokéball to shield him from the blast.

    Ash immediately lets Cyndaquil out, and we can see the bonding already happening. Koji cuts the pleasantries short and challenges Ash for the Cyndaquil, even though he technically already caught it. Ash feels confident after seeing Cyndaquil’s Flamethrower take out the Meowthinator, but things don’t go as planned for Ash, and he has to switch out his typical attack heavy style for something more defensive. In the end, Ash is victorious, and Cyndaquil is now part of the family.

    After the last few episodes focused on a single Pokémon and a unique city or village themed to that Pokémon, we are excited to give it another go and hope that Azalea Town isn’t too far away. This episode starts like most others, with the party walking through the woods. They hear some noises that turn out to be a very early appearance by Team Rocket, along with an adult Trainer and their Scizor. 

    With a title like, Wired For Battle, we are hoping in the least, that if we aren’t talking about Gym Battles, that we would at least see some solid battle footage, and this episode does not disappoint. We get to see 2 different Scizors in action, including one of them in an extended battle with Ash’s Heracross. It’s worth noting that we have seen much less of Pikachu lately, and with Charizard still off training, other Pokémon get a chance to shine.

    This episode has some great lessons, specifically how the world can be seen through the lens of a computer vs the lens of our own eyes. The episode’s rival, Shingo, is completely enthralled with his laptop, even thinking that battling isn’t necessary since the computer could predict the outcome. Little does he know that Ash isn’t one to follow trends or rules, which makes the finale battle absolutely epic. If you are into seeing some different moves being thrown around, this episode will make you very, very happy.

    Last week we had a fun episode where we met some interesting characters, Gligar Man and his daughter Gligirl who live in a mystery city (because they never told us its name) and boy do they love Gligar there. It carried a similar theme as the last few episodes where the party encountered a community where the focus was on a single Pokémon. This episode continues on that theme.

    This week, the party encounters what they think is a wild Mareep, only to learn that it is part of a larger Mareep Community. They meet Mary and her little lamb, Fluffy, who takes a liking to Pikachu, as Mareep like to absorb electricity to power themselves up. This also makes their fleece grow larger and more luxurious, making Team Rocket take interest, as the fleece carries a high premium.

    Something that this episode brings in a big way is some great battle animations. We see some different moves visualized for the first time, and even see Ash mentoring Mary on battling. It was definitely cool seeing Ash be a coach to a younger Trainer, as it is a great vessel for sharing a lesson about the morality of Pokémon Training. 

    With Team Rocket swooping in for a heist of Mareep, we see some great battles from their squad. With Pikachu and the group of Mareep combining their electricity for a major strike on Team Rocket, we see them get blasted off with haste! Perhaps this will be the last detour that they need to take before finally arriving at Azalea Town!

    Ash and crew are still on their long journey to Azalea Town, which seems like it is taking forever! The amount of strange detours and a diverse cast of characters continues to interrupt their mission, as we are introduced to Latoya and her masked hero of a dad, Gligar Man! 

    Things start out with the party falling into a good’ol Team Rocket pit as they are walking on the path, only to be rescued by none other than Gligar Man. A stereotypical Superhero with the outfit, cape, and even the voice. This is one of the most interesting side characters we have met so far, and we get to learn more about them when they arrive in town. Turns out Gligar Man was nothing more than a plot to save toys, however thanks to Gligar’s actual desire to fight crime, it they became an actual vigilante team. 

    With Gligar Man well beyond his prime, his daughter Latoya swoops in to take the reigns as Gligirl, who looks incredible and can actually fight too! With her becoming the new secret superhero, her Dad can go back to being Mr. Parker, and running the toy store. 

    Such a fun episode and a worthy detour on the adventure to Azalea Town. Next episode HAS to be the one where they get there, right?

    Last week we saw Ash battling with his Chikorita, who was not feeling exactly like itself. It turned out it was just a but jealous of Pikachu and it decided to prove its worth in battle. This week we see a similar scenario, but this time from a lone Oddish in a community of Hoppips. We have had a string of episodes lately that take us to unique places that are off the beaten path. This episode is filled with battles, multiple Team Rocket blast offs, and even some good ol’fashioned morals. Let’s jump into it!
