Goodbye 3DS & Wii U Games
01:19:07

We recap Decidueye Raids and our thoughts on the established formula so far. The Nintendo eShop is closing on the 3DS and the Wii U, meaning hundreds of games will be unaccessible going forward. This makes Pokémon fans worried about both Bank and HOME capability with older games, since Pokémon hasn't said much since their initial statements. Ball Guy comes to Masters EX.

Women's Day: Special Episode

To celebrate Women's Day, Raschelle, Irene, and Brittney come together to talk about the impact of women in the Pokémon series. They talk about why certain characters are influential, and how they all came to Pokémon. We hope you enjoy this different perceptive on Pokémon from voices you are familiar with!

What is Women's Day?
International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is a focal point in the movement for women's rights. After the Socialist Party of America organised a Women's Day on February 28, 1909 in New York, the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference suggested a Women's Day be held annually.
