The Grapes of Poliwrath

Contests, contests, contests! Is there a TV show that isn't directly a competition show that has more competition themed episodes than Pokemon? Who knows! We have a couple of competition episodes this week. Ep. 170, “Hook, Line, and Stinker” features a SeaKing fishing competition and gives Misty and Poliwhirl a chance to muscle up. Ep. 171, “Beauty and the Breeder” brings back a character of the week, Suzie, who we haven't seen since Brock was given Vulpix. Coincidence? Not at all. It's part of the plot. Something this podcast has entirely lost. Enjoy!


Welcome to another TKAD episode, where we continue the Johto adventure with Ep. 168, “Two Hits and a Miss” and Ep. 169, “A Hot Water Battle”. The first episode has an anthropomorphic top breakdance battle to save the family business. The second episode features monkeys with hands on their tails running away with the elemental trio’s beach ball. Also the hosts, Graham and Kellan, try to make jokes. They have no idea if anyone will laugh. If you don’t laugh, don’t tell us. Thank you. Enjoy!
