PGP! Ep 06 – “Go-ing In the Magikarp Kingdom”

Litigatéon Go, therapy Pokémon, Team instinct gets a voice on the show, Chikorita Littles weigh-in on the game’s performance, and Boba Mocha gets some high praise from this week’s guest.

Joe, Beau, and Charles(in the same place at the SAME time!) are joined by Ellie Collins to share entries from their Pokémon journals.  This week we ae talking about reactionary legislation, Poké-therapy, the game’s negative narrative in the media, and a Dragon Con Lure Party.  Charizard and Gyrados aren’t dragons; whatchoo  talkin’ ‘bout weedle!?  Ellie thinks Joe’s Snorlax “looks like it can really battle with the best of them; and it is just HUGE!”  All of that, and YOUR feedback!

A big “WASSUUUUUUUUUUP” to our newest Patrons: Rob Duvall and Elizabeth Murray!  We’re so honored that you believe in us and hope to exceed your expectations!!
