Victory Road is creating a Pokémon region! But… I’ve never done this before, and I want my guests to help, so how will this collaborative world-building exercise actually work?

It’s Halloween! So what better way to celebrate than by talking spooky (and maybe some not-so-spooky) Pokémon inspired by yokai! What exactly are yokai? Well, I’m joined by Cassie from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast to ponder that exact question and figure out how it relates to Ghost-type ‘mons, inanimate objects ‘mons, and beyond! Plus, Cassie brought a yokai […]

A new Pokémon movie dropped a couple weeks ago on Netflix, and I’m joined by Lee (a.k.a. Professor Spruce) to talk all about it!

Wingull-ium Levi-Ursaring! This week I got together with Vicki from the Novel Gaming podcast to smash together the world of Pokémon with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

F-f-f-fight! This week I got together to talk about two competitive games featuring  Pokémon, one long-established and one brand new.
