Episode 324: Combination Sensation!

May tackles her second Hoenn Contest, and earns her first victory!  As great as it is to see her winning things, the story of her self-confidence is the real nail-biter here.  Not to mention the forever question of "Drew: Friend or Foe?" as he shows he does have a few decent bones in his body.  (Tiny ones, like the ones in your ear).   Beautifly shows off skill that we kinda knew it had but still came out of nowhere, Jessie is pretty darn good at contests if she stops cheating long enough to try, and Roselia makes the best faces.  It's a packed episode, so click here to listen!

And I'm doing a panel at Anime Banzai?  With Pokepress?  Saturday, Oct. 20, at 11:00?  I still can't believe it's happening, either, but Steven and I will be there, and hope you will be too! 
In the meantime, do you have a favorite song from the Victini movie?  There were a lot to choose from!  The Pokepress collaboration on movie 14 goes down soon, so let me know how you felt that movie played musically!

Episode 323: May or May not!


May was all excited to finally challenge her next Pokemon Contest, and then "insecurity brain" got in the way... She's dealing with that, while Drew may or may not be trying to help her, Ash may or may not be having a day, Brock may or may not have found his soulmate, and Team Rocket may or may not have found the secret to unlocking coolness?  A lot of May's, but only one will learn something today!  Click here to find out what!

Episode 321: Everyone Has An Evil Twin...



We know they can clone Pokemon, but what about humans?  The Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies give rise to that theory, as do the multiple "Jessie" and "Ash" lookalikes, but today we have yet another doppleganger crossing paths with our kids.  Max has an evil twin, and finds he doesn't like him so much...

Side Story: Podcasting Off The Grid!

I went home to visit my family, and that journey came with some unexpected complications.  But amidst all the traveling and camping and sleeping at truck stops, I still managed to finish the episode!  It is late, but it is a good one, because we're going back to Pallet Town!  A little kid who is not Ash is going to show up to Professor Oak's lab to pick his first Pokemon, and true to form, the Professor isn't going to have Pokemon in stock...

Side Story: A Boy Named Sue!



I wasn't expecting a long tangent about whether or not Ritchie is a Mary Sue... I think he kind of is, and even if people disagree, the fact that the boy has a lack of character development is indisputable. And yet, he gives us a great story and one of my favorite of the side stories? Ritchie, you're a paradox, but you're good at what you do! Click here to listen to the episode!

Side Story: Special Training!

Team Rocket has a flashback!  A looong flashback!  It takes up the whole episode, but establishes their definitive origin as evil-doers.  And while it hurts to think that maybe the whole unicycle bike gang origin is no longer canon, I do think it all works out for the best.  Click here to listen!

Hello, Skitty!  May meets a new pokemon, and all of us dissolve into sugary sweetness.  Skitty is too cute for it's own good.  I think something happened in this episode, but I'm too caught up in Skitty playing with cat toys to remember.  I guess you'll just have to listen and find out for yourself!

Episode 319: Great Expectations!

I don't know what Audacity was doing, or maybe it's my computer as a whole, but after recording this twice and hours of editing, I gave up.  Sometimes we give our best efforts and wind up with second best results...
But in the plot, Ash and kiddos meet a weird family, and a dude who's afraid to let his weird family down.  It's a slice of life drama, that revisits some old tangent topics!  Click here to listen!

We begin with listener email and spend the rest of the episode painfully aware of it's faults.  That's not to say it's a bad one, just... maybe I'm putting more into this analysis than is actually at the source...  You'll have to listen for yourself to see what you think!
