Pod-ket Monsters

Special Guest Cameron Hawkins joined us to run through the plot of Pokémon 3 the Movie: Spell of the Unown: Entei and the animated short that preceded it.

After discussing all the news of the last week in Pokémon, Dustin and Jeff assign each other Pokémon types for them to come up with their dream team to be Gym Leaders for each of those types!  And then as always we rank another Pokémon on our master rankings!

Jeff "Grizz" Ullrich and Dustin Cunningham sit down with Brian "B-Mac" McMeans, one of the owners of Space Cadets Gaming, a gaming hobby store, to discuss the Pokémon TCG resurgence in the context of retail and how this new boom in popularity compares to previous spikes for the franchise.

Continuing our series of Pokémon Movie reviews, this week Dustin, Jeff, and special guest Ethan Brannon, do a deep dive on the second animated Pokémon movie, Pokémon: The Movie 2000, aka The Power of One.  We even discuss Pikachu's Rescue Adventure!  Of course, we also discuss the news, and rank a Pokémon!  Please subscribe!

There are some Pokémon that are tied to the very nature of that universe that from a moral perspective it is reckless, irresponsible, or outright evil to catch them.  However, as the pokédex repeatedly points out, a lot of Pokémon are really freaking dangerous to be left to their own devices.  So its actually more morally good to catch these Pokémon so that they can't lay waste to entire civilizations!  And that's what Jeff and Dustin chose to talk about this week!

Its been two years since the release of Detective Pikachu, and Dustin, Jeff, and special guest, Jackson Wells from Cantina Conversations, have taken this opportunity to do an in depth discussion and review of the first ever live action Pokémon movie!

After all these years the long awaited Pokémon Snap sequel has finally arrived!  Dustin and Jeff have put in about 8 hours each into this new game, and share all their thoughts on Illumina Pokémon, the controls, the puzzles and all the crazy aspects of New Pokémon Snap.  Is it all we hoped for?

While counting down the days to the release of New Pokémon Snap, a question popped into Jeff and Dustin's minds.  If you were to recast the Lord of the Rings with Pokémon, which Pokémon would be in which role?  So of course that had to be the topic of the show.

The mainline Pokémon games are great, no doubt, and there have been some pretty cool spin off games in the past.  But is the best new spin off yet to be thought up?  With the help of sixoneindie.com's Harry Loizides, Dustin and Jeff pitch several ideas for Pokémon spin off games that could be the next big thing!

Kicking off our Pokémon movie review series, we start with the first movie, Pokémon the First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!  But that wasn't enough we also reviewed Pikachu's Vacation with a critical eye, that is does not deserve!  And who could be better to have on as a guest than the wonderful Jessica Sanchez?!
