Tenote Pokemon Podcast

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.

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...

Our heroes prepare to confront the nefarious Team Unity. They also keep a joke about hotdogs going from our pre-show chit chat, and I can’t cut it out without removing oh so much of the episode. How much HP does a car tire have? Is there an interesting twist? Do things maybe go too far in one player’s favor, and do we discover a handful of flawed mechanics in the DM’s homebrewed system because of...

Tension! Drama! Danny vanished, the rest of the group is worried! Where is he headed? Will the rest of the group find him before it’s too late? Will he fall into the fiendish hands of Team Unity? Or will he pop in for a refreshing bowl of ice cream? Are Danny and Lee completely disrespectful to members of the services industry? And did Litwick become the DM’s new favorite pokemon? Don’t ask me, ju...

Our Heroes continue the Puentedad Gym Challenge, but encounter a serious situation. What are the real motivations of the seemingly friendly Team Unity? What lengths will Lee go to in order to keep those he cares about safe? Will we experience some magnificent character moments? Will one of our players mix up their notes with AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GAME and name-drop a city’s former mayor that the D...

Our heroes try to finish up their pokemon hunt before the festival starts tomorrow. Should the DM have been more detailed in describing the cemetery and maybe had some interesting lore about the graves? Probably, but pobody’s nerfect. Did the Ice Breaker reveal some kind of deep, deep trauma? Yes. Does that character need a hug? Of course! But you didn’t give them one! You probably didn’t even cat...

Our heroes make some interesting discoveries, and take an opportunity to go out and catch some pokemon in preparation for the upcoming gym battle. Did the DM unintentionally give them more potential power than he planned. Maybe. Did we have a ridiculous amount of visual jokes and tangents that didn’t land because this is an audio format? Yes. Did I have to cut nearly a quarter of the recording bec...

Our heroes arrive in Puentedad and spend the day doing various activities. Does the dice roller love Lee? Does Eggbert commit breaking and entering? Is the DM bad at maintaining accents? The answer to all these questions and more can be heard here, so why haven't you downloaded the episode yet?

Our heroes spend the first night together on their way to the city of Puentedad. Do we go on way too many tangents? Definitely. Should you carry around a bottle of milk in a backpack, unrefrigerated for months at a time? Yeah, it'll probably be okay. What am I, a doctor? Just download the episode and drink up.

Meet our players and their characters as they set off on the adventure of a lifetime. Is their humor bad? Possibly. Will the DM maintain accents? Highly unlikely. Did we have fun? Most assuredly so, and we hope you will too.
