Episode Description

Prepare for trouble! We’re starting off Season 6 with a highly requested dive into the world of Pokémon! This episode will focus primarily on the first season of Pokémon: Indigo League, but we also meander to other aspects of the Pokémon world. Jino reminisces about improbable evolution playground rumors, Michael recalls the secret to getting two Feraligatrs in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and Victoria shares her favorite Ditto lore. Tune in to hear our thoughts on computer phones, Team Rocket’s narrative utility, and why the show was at its best when all the characters were broke.
