Customer Reviews
Pokémon Pod in a Pod is Choice
DPoYL was a favorite of mine before “Gotta Classify Em All” but now I’m super excited to hear scientists break down some first generation pocket monsters. Camden and Margaret are knowledgeable, funny, and sound like your two smartest friends hanging out together.
Brutally boring.
Brutal. 12 minutes in and nothing is discussed - just two millennials with diarrhea of the mouth. Awful and a waste of time.
