Tenote Pokemon Podcast

In case you couldn't hear what was said, the show is going on break for a bit. We haven't had a chance to record any new episodes and some changes are coming for the group. So, if we have more episodes for y'all, we'll post as soon as we can. Thanks for listening.

Does Viagra restore attack PP? Is Danny a Karen? Should we pivot to knife combat? Is there a shocking reveal at the very end? And is the increase in the DM’s spam calls due to his doctor? All this and more on today’s episode.

Our heroes get some down time, and our players get deep in the weeds during our Ice Breaker. There’s evolution, there’s new plot lines, there’s new pokemon. Excitement! Adventure! Crime! Does Pokemon Master sound better than Dungeon Master? And which vacation sounds best to you, listener? Find us on Instagram @tenotepod

Get ready to, “Mix things up” as we finally have all 5 players present for this session. The players guess what Danny would be if he was a kitchen appliance, and things kinda snowball into rewards to come in future episodes. They also run into a bunch of kids. Can you listeners catch the reference? I would certainly feel silly if no one did. See if they can successfully wrap up the gym challenge,...

Kade and Eggbert get up to some shenanigans during their pair-up episode, including some implications of past tragedy, young adults enduring trauma, and surfing! Listen now! Do it!

Today, we have just two players with us, Stephen and LaMar. Together, as Lee and Joy-Joy, they confront spectres of the past, meet up, have a VERY uncomfortable discussion with a certain someone, and get a fun surprise! Does Joy-Joy have a surprising amount of pent up trauma? Does Lee finally get some relief from his own dark past? And does the joke about the Ligma Fork ever get explained? Tune in...

Our heroes, after a brief break for important fashion business, finally begin the challenge of the Del Aro Gym. What mysteries lay in the fog beyond the city’s edge? What traumas will our heroes have to face? And would you mama bird gummy worms into the mouth of a loved one? Some memorable quotes. “I don’t want to say shrine priestess, cuz I’m not a priestess, but I am the prettiest.” “It could be...

This week, our players reunite a man and his Steelix, Kade meets a personal hero, Danny almost is murdered, and Lee does terrible, terrible things. Does this signal a heel turn for one of our heroes? Or maybe, just maybe, we are on the verge of a big emotional moment of devastation? Who can say. I know it's late, but it's never the wrong time to celebrate Aisian and Pacific Islander heritage. Look...

This week, our players discover that ghosts are real, and are distinct from Ghost Type pokemon. They also do some research and find an old man. Is Buzzwole good only cuz he’s buff? Is Ducklett really just another lame duck? And did we somehow forget the reason behind the episode’s title? Answers to all these and more in the episode. DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!! EDITOR’S NOTE - The quality of this episode i...

To wrap up our break between seasons, we finish by interviewing LaMar, who plays Joy-Joy. Prepare to hear LaMar speak a lot more than normal, reveal a lot of hidden lore, and also take a guess at the mysterious phone call that ends the interview. With this being our last interview, we will come back with Season 2 Episode 1 on Monday June 29th.

We're right in the middle of our Season Break, doing interviews with our players. We were joined by player Matt, who plays the delightful Danny Zepilli. Prepare to be entertained, and to hear about some definitely innocent dogs that definitely didn't interrupt the recording. Matt also streams on Twich at https://www.twitch.tv/zenyasarms please join in the fun times!

We're right in the middle of our break, doing interview with the players. Today we are joined by the fabulous Steven to discuss the many facets of his character, Lee Gerard. Also be prepared to have your expectations met, and then in a few episodes, see them shattered completely. Listen now!

During our break, we have our second interview with the players, today with the wonderful Emily. We discuss the background of her character, some ideas for the next season break, and some fun, one-shot ttrpg games to play down the road. We are having lots of fun here in interview land as our players give us the low-down, so go ahead and listen in! Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.co...

During our break, we have our first interview with the players, today begin the delightful Adrian.

Season 1 of the show is now wrapped. I know it was a bit unexpected, but I do explain a bit in the episode, so download that. We will have our first interview up next week. https://www.instagram.com/tenotepod/

This episode, our players learn some more about each other, but also a few small bits and pieces about the Laboratory they find themselves in, as well as discover a pokemon in a sticky situation, that is maybe too poorly described, but we ran with it. Do we have some excellent teamwork moments? Very yes. Do we have to remember that pokemon is a world of whimsy? Also yes. And finally, are Pidoves e...

Hello listeners. This is a weird one, but due to a forgetful editor, we don’t have the actual recording for this episode. As such, we have gotten together and done this recap episode, which quickly devolved into delightful side tangents and commentary about pokemon design and other things. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, especially since one of the pokemon evolved, but we’ll have some art and s...

I'm sorry for this, but it's important. Listen all the way through for a big update on the Tenote Pokemon Podcast.

Our heroes have some really, really, really good dice rolls. The DM definitely didn’t accidentally create a story line, the references to Shaquille O’Neal have been left in for the jokes, and the Superbowl Ice Breaker question didn’t turn out as funny as I’d hoped. Joy-Joy almost has a VERY TROUBLING EXPERIENCE, but again, the dice were very much on his side. Did the group come up with some intere...

Our heroes reunite. A couple of them have some spooky experiences, Lee does maybe a little too much Gaslighting, Gatekeeping, and Girlbossing, and Kade’s cousin loses a pokemon. What things are in store for our heroes in Del Aro? Does the DM lay the groundwork for a misunderstanding of his own words that escalates wildly next session? And do squatter’s rights apply to a sentient mobile home that y...

Our heroes spend a little time catching some new pokemon, and meeting some new, possibly dangerous, people. What is Kade’s mysterious benefactor hiding? Why is the bad guy so concerned with personal health? How far do we lean into the rule of cool? How petty towards a millionaire monster should the DM be? How mean will the players be to the DM when he gives them a pokemon he thought they’d like? T...

As Kade and Eggbert deal with the aftermath of last session’s shocking adventure, and also encounter an NPC whose name generation haunts the DM to this day, we follow Danny, Joy-Joy, Lee, and a mysterious woman as they enter an unexpected competition. Is it a bit sudden to start in a fairly dramatic and slightly tense scene, then flip around to a silly contest? Possibly. Do we inch so very close t...

Two of our heroes have an interesting encounter in Del Aro, while everyone else finally leaves Puentedad. Did the DM have way too much fun creating a language specific for this scenario? Possibly. Did he also have a nightmare of a time trying to type this out because the “D” and “C” keys stop working on his laptop, and thus have to copy/paste every time he had to use either? Very yes. Was he still...

Our heroes are, finally, all departing Puentedad. Surely the next episode won’t have 3 of them again leaving the city…that would be ridiculous. Does one of the players get a new pokemon just because they were funny? Does another have a small emotional breakdown over complements? And will bike theft turn out to be a funny running joke? Download the episode and find out! NOW!! Find us on Instagram a...

Our heroes finish up things in Puentedad, and some of them make some interesting decisions. Did we have some decent sized adjustments to mechanics between sessions? Very yes, because stacking Intercepts almost made the DM cry, and he’s already a sad sad man. We also learned that a surprising number of pokemon could learn Teleport via TM in Gen 1, the dice really wanted Kade to get a bicycle at 1:0...
