    Pokemon Nostalgia

    Bailey and Raquel host Episode 30 of The Whole Shebang Podcast, a Pokémon fandom episode discussing how they grew up with Pokémon, early memories watching the anime on WB or on VHS, and how Pokémon was treated as more of a “boys thing” when they were kids. They talk about meeting other fans later in life (including in academic settings), seeing lots of Pokémon fandom at Fan Expo, and how modern games allow more character customization—while critiquing recent mainline releases for being pushed out too quickly with inconsistent quality. They compare and name favorite Pokémon games (including Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky, and Pokémon Conquest), mention interest in a newer farming-style Pokémon game concept, and briefly discuss Pokémon Pocket and Pokémon GO play habits. The hosts share favorite Pokémon (including Oddish, Vulpix, Espeon, Onix/Steelix, Milotic, Latias and Latios, Alolan Ninetales, Grovyle, Charmander, Charizard, Dragonite, and Lapras), plus favorite Pokémon movies—especially the first movie and Pokémon 2000—with childhood memories, theater experiences, and discussion of movie shorts. They also talk about Team Rocket, Jessie, Meowth’s underused ability to speak to Pokémon, the franchise’s nostalgic emotional impact, the sassiness of Ash and Misty, and Pokémon Snap. The episode closes by directing viewers to YouTube and social links and teasing a Japanese Prismatic Eeveelutions EX card pack opening gift from Judy while asking listeners to comment their favorite Pokémon. @thewholeshebangpod https://discord.gg/s2jPaGrE
