Tadpoles were happy just being themselves until the frog had to come in and ruin everything! Did you know the swirl on these Pokemon bells are actually poop tubes? No? Well they are!

This is the closet we will get to discussing Doge Coin. Long time friend Justin joins Peter, Sara, and Dave to discuss Growlithe and the ethics of the Pokemon world.

Grab the ibuprofen, one big headache is on its way! Friend of the show Rusty (@gnarwhals24) joins Peter, Sara, and Dave to explain why this clueless little bird turd is his all time fav.

Meowth is like Baskin Robins. I can name all of the flavors but don't make me do it. A staple of the anime, this darling crime kitty of the first 150 has spawned the most regional forms of all! Peter, Sara, and Dave take a trip around the globe and "It's a Small World" all of the Meowths!

The cat burglar himself steals the show on this episode of Daycare Dittos. Team Rocket's tiniest partner in crime has a ton of lore and interesting facts that warranted its own episode! I mean, you must be a pretty big deal to have an Alolan and Galarian form. You don't want to miss this one!

What makes a Pokemon legendary? Its stats? Its rarity? How about how Hot Dog shaped and freaking awesome it is? What do you have to say about that Professor Oak? It's time for the little nugget with a nose, the footless wonder, the best Pokemon who's ready to burrow its way to your heart. The Diglett episode is finally here! Dave is beyond excited to present one of his all time favorite Pokemon!

It's a fuzzy little ball of poison and that's about it. Don't hug a Venonat or you'll die. Don't touch the wings of a Venomoth or you'll be paralyzed... then you'll die.

PREPARE TO CRY! You probably always thought Paras was an unbelievably weak pokémon. Well, you're totally right for thinking that but there is way more to the story.

Absolutely disgusting stank demons or hallucinogenic drugs? You decide! This week we dive into a very unique group of grass pokemon. What seems like cute, lovable, drooly pals may actually be an opium den that smells like the inside of Satan's butt. Enjoy!

This episode sucks... GET IT!? We are not referring to coming across a zubat every three steps in a cave, but the hellish description of Crobat draining Stantlers and humans in the Pokedex. Aren't bats fun!? Don't get rabies!

Shhhhhhhh... Just fall asleep so we can draw on your face. Sara, Peter, and Dave welcome special guest @SailorMoonWisdom to discuss her favorite Pokemon, Jigglypuff!

Glamour and glitz or 1000 years of a hell curse? You decide! Vulpix is the adorable little fire fox with a secret. Who knew the origins of this fan favorite was some ghostly folklore?

A pink fairy Pokemon sits in a rocking chair on the porch talking to its grandkids. "You know, I was supposed to be the mascot of Pokemon. Was supposed to have my own game! Pokemon Pink!" "Sure Grandpa.." Learn what could have been with the history of Clefairy!

6 Pokemon in one episode!? Sara, Peter, and Dave are working over time to cover the King and Queen of the first 150! Nidoran, Nidorina, Nidorino, Nidoqueen, and Nidoking may have been born of a game mechanic that wouldn't be technologically possible until later games which makes Nintendo's handling of them oddly unique.

BACK IN THE POOL! The sand daddy himself is here and he's ready to roll out! Long time friend and early Pokemon influencer @CasualNerdJason joins the pod to discuss his all time favorite Pokemon, the ToysRus Pokemon league, and "PokéBoomers"

Part 2 is here! You thought we were only doing Pikachu? Hell no! @PocketMobsters kicked off the Pikachu study session and now we're just batting clean-up. What would Pikachu be without its evolutions? Same place? Probably! However, there is a lot to discuss when it comes to the first baby Pokemon and the big bad Raichu!

We've all been fooled enough! This April Fools episode is dedicated to the rumors, tricks, legends, and pranks we have all endured while following the growing Pokemon franchise. In the early days, information was sparse. Early images from Japan and childlike imagination made for some pretty crazy rumors.

The face of Pokémon. The icon. This rat started as Professor Oak's junk pile, pity gift and became the real MVP of the Pokemon World! A huge occasion demands a huge guest.

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE! AND MAKE IT 1/3? This snake gives to a new meaning to hitting it front to back! It's name. Get it? Sara, Peter, and Dave explore the purple poison tube and its most famous trainer, Jessie of Team Rocket! You're not going to want to miss this one!

What an angry bird. We're not talking about the hit iPhone game with an animated film. This is Spearow, the original angry bird. The one Ash Ketchum does animal abuse on in the first episode of Pokemon. Spearow and his friends try to kill Ash and Pikachu which is understandable because he threw a rock at its head. Getting a rock to the head is very dangerous. Don't throw rocks.

An extra early episode this week to round up all of the huge Pokemon announcements from Friday's presentation! There were a lot that we had been waiting for and some unexpected mysteries!
