Expect a full recap, anime trivia, dub changes, and a round of “Who’s That Pokémon?”


⚡️ What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Full recap and analysis of Pokémon Indigo League – “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”

Your weekly trip back to Pokémon’s classic era — from Ash’s first steps in Pallet Town to the height of Pokémania. Hosted by Pokémon Trainer Jed, a lifelong fan and proud jelly donut defender, this nostalgic rewatch covers the original anime and the world that surrounded it: toys, trading cards, magazines, playground rumours, and more. Each episode is packed with laughs, trivia, retro fun, satirical “sponsor” skits, and spotlights on the Pokémon of the week.
