I look forward to this podcast every week. I’ve been a Pokémon fan since I was about 4 years old, and now I’m 32. This podcast has taught me so much about this beloved franchise, and games. I’d probably be a lot more depressed if it was for this podcast, and keeping up with them on other social platforms. I highly recommend any Pokémon fan to listen to this and to follow them on all socials if you’re on them!
P.s. I’d also like to follow the other hosts, but idk how to find them.. 😅
Pattycakeboss · Feb 2025
this is literally the most effective all around pokemon content podcast. they talk about events, the games, the anime, the music, the merch, and even the ... pikachu train? yep, it's a thing i learned about from this podcast. the hosts have some rotation and interviews but in general are consistent enough to have personalities i look forward to hearing and although i don't play sleep i get excited for them getting to get new music and islands or whatever. i also really enjoy the twitch and youtube content because it actually makes it clear how to solve getting the hard tera raids based on moves and values not just "take this iron hands and belly drum." i have a new respect for acid armor and howl and vaporeon is a utilitarian member my party always now. so this is longer than waiting for the windmill to spin in pales but five stars and infinite crams

This podcast is fantastic in every way. Well produced, interesting, engaging and often hilarious. It is one of things I look forward to most each week. If you are a fan of Pokémon in any way, this is a necessity for your ears.
BackpackerBMW · Jun 2024
This show covers all of Pokémon (TCG, main series games, Sleep, anime, PoGo, and even… Van Gogh?). I love the main hosts as well as the special guest hosts when there’s specific PokéNews. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. They can sometimes be critical of certain things with Pokémon, but that gives the podcast balance and shows they’re all true fans of this franchise.
SkyyAlder · Mar 2024
Can be annoying at times. Steve breaks down into giggles for no apparent reason with almost every sentence and often sets up straw man arguments to prove a point over things no one is really doing. The hosts all individually know a lot and it can be a fun listen occasionally. But more often than not they get too lost in the weeds and end up on a ranger and/or beating a topic to death.
