Rip 'n' Sip Podcast

Not all corners of the Pokémon community are safe—and this podcast exists to make that clear. PokéWatch shines a light on troubling behavior within the fandom, focusing on a creator who has repeatedly harassed women and the impact it’s had on the community.

This isn’t about drama—it’s about protecting fans, supporting women, and making the Pokémon community a safer place for everyone.

Welcome to Rip N Sip where the Pokémon card market never sleeps. This episode dives into the latest price swings, hot pulls, and surprise spikes across the Pokémon TCG. We break down what’s climbing, what’s crashing, and what collectors and investors should keep their eyes on.

But it’s not just about the numbers. We also take you inside the card show scene—from packed convention halls and trade tables to the best deals and wildest stories from the floor. And when the hobby takes a darker turn, we cover the unfortunate side of collecting too, including thefts, robberies, and the lessons the community can learn from them.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a market watcher, or someone chasing their next grail card, this podcast keeps you plugged into the highs, the lows, and everything happening in the Pokémon card world.

This week on the podcast, Curio Rich, RagingNes, and Producer Aaron dive into a Pokémon Q&A packed with hot takes, deep cuts, and wild nostalgia.
