Oh no! We catch up with the Pokémon crew in a sinking ship. The real questions are being raised this episode.

Did Jesus have Pokémon? Can Pokémon breath in their Pokéballs? How capable is Magikarp of breathing air?

Plus we get to hear Johns ‘dream team’ for Taishi from Terrace House.

SURGE! It’s episode 14 and we’ve finally made it to Vermillion City. Lt. Surge, the lightning American, calls Ash a baby a lot and so does his tough boy, Raichu.

Anna and John delve into evolving early versus keeping your Pokémon pure, reminisce about the original games, and get lost in the weeds talking about the pronunciation of Ratata.

Also Anna sounds off on some 10 year olds and their preparedness. We’re feeling the surge today!

It’s our favorite starter Pokémon, Baby Pond Turtle (Squirtle)! Meet the Squirtle Squad and see what kind of hijinks they get up to.

Kanto starters are popping all over! This time it’s the orange little dinosaur (lizard?) we all love, Charmander! His terrible trainer Damien really shines this episode, but more importantly John’s super accurate impression of him.

Seriously, the impression of Damien is so good. Not much else to say. I guess Charmander is cool and this episode has some cool Brock moments and some very emotional music cues. But John’s impression of Damien is *chefs kiss*.

Time for school in episode 9! We discuss re the merits of book learnin’ versus real world experience and get grossed out by some awful misogynist dialogue coming from Brock.

Will Anna hate Ash again? What’s up with Cubone wearing its dead mothers skull? Team Rocket: Why?

On today’s episode we meet a tough trainer and see some questionable training techniques. Team Rocket is a little campy, and Ash is awful pretty much the entire episode.

What’s the difference between a road and a path? Anna can tell you!
Do Anna and John really know anything about physical training and the ethics of it? Maybe!
Where did all the lions go in the Pokémon world? We’re not sure!
