It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast

The space launch didn't bring us new Pokémon games, but it brought us a new Pikachu for Pokémon Sword and Shield. This week Pokémon GO kicks off Unova week! A life-size Appletun plush arrives in Japan. We talk about the rumors regarding the "Master Collection," but keep in mind there are not a lot of strong signs pointing to these games as real as of this recording. We revisit an old interview before Sword and Shield was released to see how it holds up. 00:00:20 - Introduction00:04:00 - Space Pikachu00:10:20 - Appletun Plush00:13:00 - Pokémon GO Unova Week00:17:40 - Pokémon Master Collection Rumor00:26:40 - Break Music00:29:40 - Pokémon Masters Check-in00:38:30 - US Gamer Recap01:06:10 - Question of the Week01:17:10 - Pokémon of the Week01:22:20 - Post Credits🌐 www.pkmncast.com👾 www.twitch.tv/pkmncast📸 www.instagram.com/pkmncast📝 www.reddit.com/r/supereffective🐦 www.twitter.com/pkmncast🎥 www.youtube.com/pkmncast📀 www.tiktok.com/@pkmncast💰 Support on Patreon LINKS🌐 www.pkmncast.com👾 www.twitch.tv/pkmncast📸 www.instagram.com/pkmncast📝 www.reddit.com/r/supereffective🐦 www.twitter.com/pkmncast🎥 www.youtube.com/pkmncast📀 www.tiktok.com/@pkmncast💰 Support on PatreonEPISODE CREDITSHosted, edited, and produced by Steve SarumiTheme songs and segment jingles by Nicholas Burgess Ad music comes from Evanto Elements Podcast artwork by Steve SarumiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
