Have you ever heard of PokeRinging? It's a new sport we're going to learn about, though I hate that name. James, turns out, is a bit proficient in this area... Tune in to hear James be competent, using May's given...
Two reccuring characters appear! A pokemon that delights me just saying it's name, and everyone's favorite Magikarp Salesman! I love that guy, so tune in to hear his latest scam!
I'm mad at this episode, I feel persoanlly attacked. To be fair, it was likely unintentional on the writer's part and I will get over it but some things are infuriating and I am allowed to be upset. So on...
This episode is not gonna win awards for it's amazing craftsmanship, but it wins all the awards in my heart. Sometimes a piece of art just hits you a way at a time, and this was that episode for me....
Ash plays bystander to someone else's origin story, and maybe does some of the stuff I give Pikachu grief over. Perhaps I'll revise my opinions, perhaps I won't, perhaps there's an Anne from the future who's going to arrive and...
Can you pronounce Whiscash? I sure can't. This pokemon is a pain in the butt, from its tongue twister name to its sassy attitude, but I still love this episode. The animation team brought their A game to work this...
May's Bulbasaur gets to see the world! Honestly the world's not worth all the hype, but it's new and exciting to Bulbasaur, so who am I to rain on it's parade? Ash's Bulbasaur also joins the party, and unfortunately picks...
It's the second (or third?) time we've visited a secret community of grass pokemon presided over by a member of the Bulbasaur evolution line. Is leadership one of their special abilities? Anyway, May meets a new team member, Ash is...
The boy is back! What is more ridiculous than Pokemon Fossil Science? Adolecence, career changes and internships! And poor Gary Oak is dealing with all of it, he's a college student in a new job in the body of a...
It's an episode all about love! Except, it's kind of not about love at all... For that reason, Anne doesn't quite like it, but they do like lots of moments and all the potential, so... Mostly it's just a bunch...
An episode with Professor Oak, with Ash barely getting a chance to see him. Team Rocket getting it together only to lose it. Max getting to command Pokemon and train at the feet of the master, while May gets to...
We've been building up to it for awhile, but it's time for the conclusion of Max's battle with reality. Norman's about to be knocked off his pedestal for five seconds and it's gonna hurt. Also, Ash has a gym battle...
How did Norman propose to Caroline all those years ago? What pokemon played a significant role in their relationship? Well, on today's show, Ash has to delay his gym battle for the sake of romantic intrigue! (I know, his favorite...
Oh gosh the gym battle is so close I can taste it! But the citizens of North Petalburg have opinions about Ash challenging Norman... I also recommend old j-dramas, whine about Ash's possible future as not the main character and...
The kids meet a pair of traveling buskers, discover Lombre's future evolution and Ash has to manage everybody's emotions. It's a look at what it really takes to be a pokemon master, along with Corphish antics and a Ludicolo that...
It's not deja-vu, but this episode should feel a little familiar. We've got a Loudred (but not THE Loudred), Ash trying to relate to Treeko and another trainer going through one of Ash's old plots. Add in a double evolution...
Team Rocket will eat anything, Pokeball technology gets used in some interesting ways and we almost killed Treeko. It's a filler episode but that doesn't make it any less wild. Also featuring the delightful jiggly Gulpin, a pokemon I never...
May almost gets a new team member and demonstrates an instinct for caregiving, Brock serves as adult supervision for May, Max learns not to makes schemes past midnight and Ash becomes a mental health advocate. Its a wild time for...
An evolution happens for Brock's team, and someone is hailed as the Great Village Protector! It's not Ash for once, but don't worry, he's got plenty of work to do defending pokemon, calming village riots and sleuthing out a mystery....
When we last met, a young boy named Timmy was having some serious communication issues with his mom... also there was cosplay, more cosplay, schemes and Drew being almost nice for two seconds, and Ash being uncharacteristically aggro. Expect all...
Dusclops of the Opera crashes this episode to bring us a mystery, family drama and Drew being a half-way decent person (maybe?). It's a nice opportunity to rev up to May's next contest battle, complete with substitute rival, since, as...
May meets someone who achieved a dream like hers... and then went on to have an even more rich life! What can May learn from the great contest Coordinators of the past? And can Skitty learn any new attacks? You'll...
It's an episode with an Evolution, but not one from the main cast. Team Rocket is seen with a robot Raikou, but it's not one of theirs. It's an episode that goes a few different places with a few interesting...
Ash is about to welcome a new member to his team, one whom he shares a surprising trait in common with. Meanwhile, Brock has navigation woes, Max and May throw shade, and someone other than Ash gets electrocuted. All the...
Ash and company help a girl with her friend's Spinda, I rail on some writers, Brock does not find love, all the usual for a filler episode, haha! CLick here to listen!
It's Flannery's first official Gym Battle! And Ash's.... many-eth... I've lost track of which one he's on, but he's making good time here in the Hoenn Region and having an interesting match against Flannery. Maybe underestimating her a little? Maybe...
We've made it to Lavaridge Town, which is famous for many things. A perfect vacation spot, but Ash is only here for one attraction, the Lavaridge Gym. He doesn't get his battle, but let's meet Flannery the Gym Leader, and...
It's an unusual episode today, but it's an unusual time of life. A lot is happening, people are scared, angry, and have a right to be. So, in lieu of the usual fun, a moment of silence to reflect over...
*(The audio quality is a little less than my usual standards... I was trying a different microphone to make things a little simpler while we're all in quarantine... It was a mistake, I'm sorry, I'll never do it again >-<...
May discovers a new move via the Pokedex, one that could give her team an assist. (heh heh) But she shouldn't just use it at random! Meanwhile, team rocket schemes, builds a mech, and all the usual. Its a filler...
Hey, this podcast is actually updating again? That deserves a cheer! And some more cheering! Ash and his friends stumble upon some cheerleaders, as well as an old friend that we all only vaguely remember... Who is it? Tune in...
May tackles her second Hoenn Contest, and earns her first victory! As great as it is to see her winning things, the story of her self-confidence is the real nail-biter here. Not to mention the forever question of "Drew: Friend...
May was all excited to finally challenge her next Pokemon Contest, and then "insecurity brain" got in the way... She's dealing with that, while Drew may or may not be trying to help her, Ash may or may not be...
How did I miss episode 48? An oversight, to be sure, but fear not, we'll give you all that filler glory! I struggle to find insight into the show with this one, but Seviper gets to be a star! Click...
We know they can clone Pokemon, but what about humans? The Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies give rise to that theory, as do the multiple "Jessie" and "Ash" lookalikes, but today we have yet another doppleganger crossing paths with our...
I went home to visit my family, and that journey came with some unexpected complications. But amidst all the traveling and camping and sleeping at truck stops, I still managed to finish the episode! It is late, but it is...
I wasn't expecting a long tangent about whether or not Ritchie is a Mary Sue... I think he kind of is, and even if people disagree, the fact that the boy has a lack of character development is indisputable. And...
Team Rocket has a flashback! A looong flashback! It takes up the whole episode, but establishes their definitive origin as evil-doers. And while it hurts to think that maybe the whole unicycle bike gang origin is no longer canon, I...
Hello, Skitty! May meets a new pokemon, and all of us dissolve into sugary sweetness. Skitty is too cute for it's own good. I think something happened in this episode, but I'm too caught up in Skitty playing with cat...
I don't know what Audacity was doing, or maybe it's my computer as a whole, but after recording this twice and hours of editing, I gave up. Sometimes we give our best efforts and wind up with second best results......
There comes a time where we all have to say goodbye. Where we all have to grow up. Togepi's role in this epic has come to a conclusion, so it's time to bid it farewell. Also, Shedinja... I have questions...
Our fair maiden has joined us again, the tomboyish mermaid! And she's back in Ash's life for five seconds before getting involved in a Team Rocket plot. This is why no one visits you, Ash... Click to hear about the...
We begin with listener email and spend the rest of the episode painfully aware of it's faults. That's not to say it's a bad one, just... maybe I'm putting more into this analysis than is actually at the source... You'll...
Ash crossdresses. Brock is confused about the object of his affections. A man and woman struggle to get it together and some firefly pokemon do a cute dance. It's the crackiest episode with a long tangent about Ash's relationship to...
It's summer, and the gang is kicking it off with a whole bunch of watermelon scarfing! Ash, of course, manages to turn food into a training opportunity, and Team Rocket decides to steal everyone's fun! Also, is Ash getting a...
There is romance in the air around Cerulean City, that's for sure! And also a few mysteries to solve. Misty gets letters from a stranger and Tracey keeps coming up to town despite a fully functioning postal service. Dr. Namba...
It's gym battle day and it goes like no one expects! This might just be Ash's best battle in history, a record that still has not been beaten! What happened? Well, you'll have to listen and find out, won't you?...
The twerps have arrived in Mauville City, and actually manage to distract Ash from a gym battle with a side quest! The team takes on the trick house! What's inside? Will they win a lifetime supply of Pokeblock? Will Jigglypuff...
The gang comes across a lighthouse, with an amazing rock that Team Rocket wants, though we don't really know why... More importantly, Ash is charged with teaching some kid how to be a hero! May and Max have some doubts...
A local Nurse Joy has gone missing! It's not hard to figure out what happened to her, but in the process, a lot of other questions are raised... Including one about Pikachu's future children? The episode goes down a few...
