Bruce and Maya try to unpack one of the most confusing parts of the Pokémon universe: why in the world are kids as young as ten years old out here surviving on their own? They discuss the many roles children take on in Pokémon society and explore how incredibly independent they are.

This is an EASY level episode, which means you will be able to follow the discussion even if you haven’t played the games. Expect spoilers.
