SO YOU WANNA BE A MASTER OF POKEMON!
Then PokeSports will give you the skills to be…NUMBER ONE!
Besides an easy way to include a song reference, we are adding PokeSports to the Podcast Central column! Kevin and Mike are here from our PPA Month Special to give you a view of Pokemon battling from an e-sport perspective from Singles and Doubles format! How does battling in one format differs from the other? Mike will gladly tell you as he battles with one Pokemon on the field. Meanwhile Kevin will tell you how it is with two Pokemon on the field. Together they form PokeSports and will tell you all you need to know to battle.
Also, our podcasters are singing! They have a song that they want to world to know! At least their podcast listeners. Some of these songs are just so damn amazing. So get ready to join in on these songs and find yourself a melody!
Remember to wear a mask. Be kind to others. With that said…Don’t touch that Totodile! It is the final week of Pokemon Podcast Appreciation Month! So let’s listen to some podcasts!
