Episode 349: Change Your Fate!

 Ash plays bystander to someone else's origin story, and maybe does some of the stuff I give Pikachu grief over. Perhaps I'll revise my opinions, perhaps I won't, perhaps there's an Anne from the future who's going to arrive and give me more time to work on my podcasts? A lot of questions, so click here for time-travel shenanigans! 

Episode 348: Fishing And Whishcashishing!

 Can you pronounce Whiscash? I sure can't. This pokemon is a pain in the butt, from its tongue twister name to its sassy attitude, but I still love this episode. The animation team brought their A game to work this day and the storyboard team... brought something to work, I don't know what happened here.

Tune in to meet a fishing legend! (That's not Misty!)

Episode 347: Reunions, James and Capitalism (Not in that Order)

 May's Bulbasaur gets to see the world! Honestly the world's not worth all the hype, but it's new and exciting to Bulbasaur, so who am I to rain on it's parade? Ash's Bulbasaur also joins the party, and unfortunately picks up right where it left off. James is in charge of the Team Rocket plan today, and you can guss for yourselves how that goes. And I go off on Brock again because I just can't make up my mind. It's an episode that touches on a lot of things, and gives us a surprisingly good time. Tune in to Listen!

Episode 346: Hidden Village Round 2!

 It's the second (or third?) time we've visited a secret community of grass pokemon presided over by a member of the Bulbasaur evolution line. Is leadership one of their special abilities? Anyway, May meets a new team member, Ash is the hero of all you shoujo anime dreams, and Teams Aqua and Magma got a secret third sibling. Click here to listen!

Episode 345: Life Finds A Way!

 The boy is back! What is more ridiculous than Pokemon Fossil Science? Adolecence, career changes and internships! And poor Gary Oak is dealing with all of it, he's a college student in a new job in the body of a preteen and I can't imagine any existence more confusing than that. Except maybe Dracovish. As always, Gary brings a lot to talk about, so click here and listen to the episode!

Episode 344: What's Love Got To Do With It?

 It's an episode all about love! Except, it's kind of not about love at all... For that reason, Anne doesn't quite like it, but they do like lots of moments and all the potential, so... Mostly it's just a bunch of mixed emotions, which is perhaps the most love-like sentiment of all!

Tune in for yet another Rose of Versailles reference, courtesy of the Pokemon Anime!

Episode 343: To The Starter Line!

 An episode with Professor Oak, with Ash barely getting a chance to see him. Team Rocket getting it together only to lose it. Max getting to command Pokemon and train at the feet of the master, while May gets to meet a Pokemon she'll own one day in the future! Its Sassy Sam Oak time! And what about my new franchise idea, "Fast Balls and Furious"? Tune in to hear what that's all about!

Episode 342: My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad!

 We've been building up to it for awhile, but it's time for the conclusion of Max's battle with reality. Norman's about to be knocked off his pedestal for five seconds and it's gonna hurt. Also, Ash has a gym battle in there. Team Rocket plays very little part in this episode, hmmm... It's an episode of feelings, writers maybe being subtle and Ash's usual gym battle shenanigans. Tune in to listen!

Episode 341: How I Met Your Mother!

 How did Norman propose to Caroline all those years ago? What pokemon played a significant role in their relationship? Well, on today's show, Ash has to delay his gym battle for the sake of romantic intrigue! (I know, his favorite thing...) It's a plot played for laughs which nonetheless has Veronica Taylor going hard on her acting and Brock focusing hard on his over-reacting. What's really going down with Norman and the local Nurse Joy? Tune in to find out!
