Unown
November 08, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBYour torch cuts through the darkness like a knife through jello. It's thick, damp, untouched for lifetimes. The wall illuminates and that is when you see the markings. They seem alien yet familiar. Was this the language of early man? Maybe even before? Pokemon? You spend hours staring up at the wall. Your eyes strain as you copy the markings down into your notebook. Did they move or is it the flames light licking dancing on the stone? You copy down the last letter just as the Unown descend...

October 25, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 120 MBBOO! Halloween is almost here and Johto just got a lot spookier! Don’t be scared, it’s just a podcast.

Espeon & Umbreon
September 27, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourPokemon was brilliant in introducing day and night into their games in Gen 2. Sure, we have that in real life, but they added some eevee evolutions to add to the excitement. Imagine if we were able to have night and day pets? Are we onto something here? Nocturnal dogs that change colors in the moonlight? Is that something? Oh well, enjoy this episode.
Wooper , Quagsire, & Clodsire
September 13, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourThe Daycare Dittos return to discuss one of their all time favorite Gen 2 Pokemon. This armless wonder goes under the radar most of the time, but you're about to get an hour and a half long celebration to all things Wooper!

Sunkern & Sunflora
August 16, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutesThis Pokemon is a seed that becomes a flower that does all of the things a normal flower can do. What makes it different you may ask? Well, this flower has a face, can say it's own name, and has a 54 minute podcast about it, so shut up and sit down. We are in this together.
Aipom & Ambipom
August 09, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourThe "Lil Stinker" energy is off the charts with this one. The monkey with a hand on it's tale is here and it has caused quite the controversy. Is it loved or hated? The Daycare Dittos also ask the hard hitting Ambipom questions. Why Bowlcut? Are those Utters? What pokemon punches with the same force of Peter?
Hoppip, Skiploom, & Jumpluff
August 02, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourThese lil fellas are just top tier Pokemon designs. Is it a cat weed or a puppy flower? Who really cares? It's all adorable and fun to look at. If a strong breeze blows, Hoppip may blow away which sucks because you can't hang with this little spud anymore, but it also feels good to know that the true happiness Hoppip brings you is also on the breeze, blowing into a new town to change lives. How splendid.
Bonsly & Sudowoodo
July 26, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourWhat happens when trees start being polite and start being rocks!? Find out in this weeks episode. Sudowoodo was made to block the way, Bonsly was the apology for its evolutions follies. A beatiful little stone bonsai with a butthole for... reasons? Seriously, google it.
Azurill, Marill, & Azumarill
June 28, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourOh no no, Pikablu was my father's name, you can call me Marill. The Pokemon that confused all of Western culture, including Topps Collectibles, with a Southern Island card and a smile. Marill hit the scene earlier than most Gen 2 Pokemon, but has had a staying power with even the most recent Pokemon game in Scarlet/Violet. Azumarill has been the enforcer in many raid battles, keeping the pkablu lineage alive!
Mareep, Flaaffy, & Ampharos
June 21, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourMary had a little lamb, its fleece stored electricity and will stop your heart if you try to pet it. There is a lot to say about this evolutions line.

Natu & Xatu
June 14, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourIt's the 100th episode! Who would While that seems like a huge milestone, there are still a ton more Pokemon to discuss.

June 07, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourNumber One Egg pal is here! "Pokemon 152" and its egg fairies are an odd evolution line but have a very special place in Pokemon history.

Sentret & Furret
April 26, 2023 11:00 - 1 hourIt wouldn't be the beginning of a Pokemon game without the low level lil fellas!
