    Chazingdra Chats with PAPASEA, 'Nintended' Pokémon Content Creator & Beyond

    It's the *90th* episode of Chazingdra Chats! An honour to be joined by PaPaSea, whose phenomenally popular 'Beating Pokémon how Nintendo Intended' series defined his channel - but just how did he get to where he is today? Come and discover PaPaSea's fascinating life story and the 6 Pokémon most special to him over the years that he would choose for his Dream Team - let PaPaSea and I make your day merry! It's time for Chazingdra Chats to evolve! Going forwards, I'll be doing seasons of the show rather than releasing every single week.
