Last time you heard from us, we announced that Episode 100 will be our last, so we begin the countdown with a freeform, anything goes episode with just the two of us.

Last time Kyle joined me, we weren't talking spoilers. Naturally, we had to get back together to speak freely, so this time we're chatting some of the things we love about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and... some of the things we don't.

It's been a few weeks now, so let's get deep into the spoiler zone. I'm joined by Derek B. Gayle to break down what makes the story and characters of PokémonScarlet and Pokémon Violet unique within the series and what potentially makes the story of one version better than the other.

A couple days after Pokémon Scarlet & Violet dropped, Kyle and I got together to share our initial thoughts about the latest Pokémon core series games. What immediate impression has Gen IX made on us now that we've got our hands on it?

Remember a month ago when Pokémon dropped a trailer introducing two hot new professors, three cute new Pokémon, and a couple unexpected box legendaries? A few days later, I got together with Ben and Hassan to break it down, and, uh... a few weeks later, here's our conversation!

The latest and certainly most unique entry in the Pokémon core series of games is here, and we're continuing the conversation with one of my favorite guests of all: Kyle, the co-founder of the show!

It’s Halloween! So what better way to celebrate than by talking spooky (and maybe some not-so-spooky) Pokémon inspired by yokai! What exactly are yokai? Well, I’m joined by Cassie from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast to ponder that exact question and figure out how it relates to Ghost-type ‘mons, inanimate objects ‘mons, and beyond! Plus, Cassie brought a yokai […]

A new Pokémon movie dropped a couple weeks ago on Netflix, and I’m joined by Lee (a.k.a. Professor Spruce) to talk all about it!
