And off they go!
All Pokemon podcasts start somewhere. This start can be anywhere from simply recording in your bedroom to simply just getting a microphone with your friends. Either way, all of the Pokemon podcasts you listen to now have found their footing. They are in a spot where they are happy with what they are producing. Well, some are still striving to do better. And that is fine.
So in this feature for Pokemon Podcast Month we want to look at some podcasts to see where they have started and what their hosts think is their best in the last year. So go ahead and join us as we look back at the the episodes of Pokemon podcast past.
Good Morning Johto
| Episode Dec. 5th 2022 Lane’s Thoughts: First episode was back in December just starting the daily format and super nervous because I didn’t know anyone in the Pokémon community. |
| Episode May 11th 2023 w/JTValor Lane’s Thoughts: JTValor and I answering women’s health questions to get to know each other. |
Mystery Dungeons & Darkrais
| Episode 1: The Adventure Begins! Chris’s Thoughts: You can definitely hear how awkward and uncomfortable we feel, both adjusting to podcasting and also learning how to play D&D. We were laughing and joking when we first got on Zoom as usual, but the second we all hit record you could feel the tension! |
| Episode 55: A Council of Fellowship Episode 56: A Song of Fire, Ground and Ice Chris’s Thoughts: I think it has to be Episodes 55 and 56, which were a two-parter very much inspired by a very famous trilogy of films about a very short dude obsessed with a piece of jewellery. They were expertly written by our DM and involved some very fun gameplay mechanics which saw our regular trainers as expert swordsmen fighting alongside our Pokemon! |
Purified Podcast
| Episode 1: For the Players a New Beginning…! Luis’s Thoughts: Honestly just the feel of finally able to rant about the game I love. |
| Episode 159: (Raid) Shadow Legends! (Ft.PKMNCrossroads) Luis’s Thoughts: Having a guest over is always my favorite time of any podcast! |
Poke Press Digest Podcast
| Episode 1:Episode 1-Pokemon 2000 Music/My Life in Gaming Steven’s Thoughts: The first proper episode consists of a discussion of the music of Pokémon 2000, followed by an interview with Try of the “My Life in Gaming” YouTube channel. I had already been doing interviews for a long time, so it wasn’t especially new, but it did feel nice getting it out there. |
| Discussing the music of “Pokemon Conquest” w/Pikapi Podcast Steven’s Thoughts: As I mentioned before, the “Pokémon Conquest” discussion we recorded was really interesting. My co-host (Anne from Pikapi Podcast) was able to fill in a lot of cultural details, which was extremely helpful. |
We hope you enjoy this look at these Pokemon podcasts’s humble beginnings and where they are now. Surely some things have changed but the love for podcasting is still there.
Thank you and come back for our next installment of Humble Beginnings.
