Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by Pokémon-movie expert, Eric Switzer from TheGamer, to talk about a movie that hits a little closer to our present-day reality than any of us care to deal with.
Eric decided to watch one of the 24 Pokémon movies and write about them once a week for reasons beyond even him. In this endeavor, we found a kindred spirit who knows at least a bit of the suffering we go through episode to episode.
You should also read Eric’s exposé on Lieutenant Surge’s stolen valor, as well the oral history on Darkwatch he put together.
Our bonus segment adds another 40 minutes of the show for our $3 a month and up Patreon backers. On the backend, Eric helps us update our rankings of the (mostly) Legendary and Mythical Pokémon we’ve seen in the movies so far.
