Podcastémon Episode 031
It's the big one! Today on Podcastémon we finally get to Pokemon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unown! We wound up talking about the movie for more than its runtime, so grab your snacks, water your dog, and make sure your plants have some dog food.
We found ourselves interesting in this one, so either you'll agree or think we've lost our minds. Maybe both? We sort of approached this in more ...

Also, don't worry, Justin corrects Chris on Genshin being "around for a decade". The humming in his audio halfway through is from the demon in your heart.

It's an action-packed episode; Brock finally gets his soup to be almost as good as canned soup. Ash actually gets his Totodile. Uh. We open episode...

Today we recount the tales of episodes 143 "Goin' Apricorn" to 149 "Tunnel Vision". We meet Kurt, offload the dead weight that is the GS Ball, finally confront Buggsy, and then probably fall into two or three more Team Rocket holes.
Next time we will get...most of the way to Goldenrod, as we cover episodes 150 to 155, "Hour of the Houndour" to "Forest Grumps"! Episode 031 of Podcastémon ...

Tonight, Kevin put us through hell. Read out a video game fact, but change one or two incredibly pedantic things and make us guess what is "wrong" for a point.

With the RGG Direct coming in a couple weeks, Chris and Kevin sat down to talk about what they want from it and the inevitable LAD 9. Most of it comes down to doing right by the characters, it turns out, as the battle system in Infinite Wealth didn't leave them wanting much improvement. So be warned, there's a fair bit of spoiler talk here for recent entries in the series!
