What does it take to run one of the longest-standing Pokémon fan sites online?

PokeJungle is a fan-driven Pokémon news site that began in 2003 and rose to popularity during the Generation 5 era. Starting with Neopets guilds to breaking major Pokémon game updates, PokeJungle shares how his blog evolved alongside the Pokémon community.

PokeJungle dives into the emotional impact of Pokémon Crystal, what made Pokemon Diamond & Pearl fall flat, and why Pokemon Black & White stands out as a storytelling high point. You’ll also hear about his deep appreciation for both Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon.

Whether you’re a veteran Pokémon Trainer, an aspiring fan site creator, or curious about the history of online Pokémon fandom, this episode offers a nostalgic and insightful look behind the scenes of one of the community’s most trusted voices.
