    For Crying Out Loud

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 128: For Crying Out Loud Recording Date - 12/15/25 Publish Date - 12/19/25 As we settle back in to releasing the Podcast, we have figured out what our plan is for episodes going forward. Starting next week with Episode 129, audio podcasts will be released on all platforms and the video podcast will be available on Patreon! In this week’s episode we are watching, “For Crying Out Loud”, which brings our party back out on the adventurous path. With Ash feeling confident after defeating Falkner and earning the Zephyr Badge, this episode gives Misty a shot to show us what she is made of. When a wild Marill crosses paths with the group, it takes them on a fun side quest where they meet Wilhomena, who Brock of course immediately falls for. Team Rocket makes two appearances this episode and we do get some solid battling, with Misty showing that she has earned Pikachu’s respect by leading it in a battle. This episode gives us a bit of everything, from humor to action. This fun detour will lead us to Ash and crew soon reaching Azalea Town, which is the next Gym on Ash’s radar.

    Fighting Flyer With Fire

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 127 Recording Date - 12/01/25 Publish Date - 12/05/25 The Gotta Watch’em All Podcast is BACK! After a seriously long hiatus, we are back to watch along with the anime! Adam has decided to step back from the podcast to focus on Lured Up and Special Conditions, so Lane from Good Morning Johto is taking his chair! This week we are watching “Fighting Fire with Flyer!”. This episode originally aired in Japan on January, 20th, 2000 and December, 16, 2000 in the States. We get to see Ash do what he does best (sorta) and that is battle Gym Leaders for Badges! Ash and the party reach the Violet Gym in hopes of earning his first Johto Badge! An encounter with the Gym Leader, Falkner, leads to some serious Flying-Type battles. This episode is packed with action and we get to see some great battling in a Gym setting. A great takeaway from this episode is about the bond that a Trainer makes with his Pokémon, and how important it is to know their limits. Ash finds balance between pushing his Pokémon too far, and motivating them to Train at their maximum potential.  GottaWatchemAll@PokemonProfessor.com  Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639 https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork  Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com Intro Music Malie City Grimecraft and Wishlyst GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/Grimecraft http://soundcloud.com/wishlyst Outro Music Elite Four CG5 Trap Remix ft.

    126. A Bout With Sprout!

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast Recording Date - 2/20/23 Publish Date - 3/6/2023   We have plenty to watch on this episode beginning with the second episode of Hisuan Snow! The incredible animation and score make this show a pleasure to watch and the story has us as confused as ever! We are already excited to watch the next episode to see how things pan out!   Evolutions brings an exceptionally new animation style and feel with its first episode! This has a completely different vibe than Hisuan Snow while both still feel different from Pokémon the Series!   Our episode today is, A Bout With Sprout takes us to Violet City! Our party meets Miss Priscilla and learns of the the challenges with her students as well as Sprout Tower. This episode is your typical tangential quick story arc that departs from Ash’s main task at hand of earning a Gym Badge from the Violet City Leader.   Pokemon TV - https://bit.ly/GWeA126PTV Hisuan Snow Ep. 2 - https://bit.ly/GWeA126HisuianSnow2 Evolutions Episode 1 - https://bit.ly/GWeA126Evolutions  Pokémon ASMR - https://bit.ly/GWeA126ASMR A Bout With Sprout - https://bit.ly/GWeA126ABoutWithSprout   TCG Player Support the show by shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Pokémon Professor Network Merch Store - https://bit.ly/PPNMerchStore    GottaWatchemAll@PokemonProfessor.com  Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639   https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork  Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Malie City Grimecraft and Wishlyst GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/Grimecraft http://soundcloud.com/wishlyst Break Music Route 3 Mikel and GameChops GameChops - Poké and Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Elite Four CG5 Trap Remix ft.

    123. Once In A Blue Moon

    Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 123 Recording Date - 4/12/2022 Publish Date - 4/14/2022   With last episode being filled with action and laughs, we had high hopes for Once In A Blue Moon. Unfortunately, this episode fell a bit short with a less than compelling story and an ending that left both of us confused as to what the point of the show was. While it was great to see Professor Oak and the GS Ball, there was nothing of substance that gave us any additional insight into what the GS Ball even is!   As for other news, we discuss the 25th Anniversary of the Anime and the montage video that Pokémon put together to celebrate. They also tease the return of Greninja in Master Journeys, which is very exciting, especially as we don’t know the context about its return.   A new video documentary has been released about the Pokémon Live stage show and how it almost took Broadway by storm. While seeming painfully low budget, the show actually toured the world and was successful. It is very interesting how little was actually known about the show, until now.
