About this episode

This episode dives into the world of Pokémon, discussing trading cards, upcoming releases, and the challenges collectors face.

Forget everything else—this week, it’s all about Pokémon! Chizzle and The Fallen dedicate an entire episode to the world’s biggest trading card game, diving headfirst into the upcoming Pokémon Celebration releases, what has collectors hyped, and whether the newest products are worth chasing. They also take a nostalgic trip through classic Pokémon sets, memorable pulls, and the cards that helped create the hobby we know today. The highly anticipated Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration products are also on the radar, including the newest announcements and why they’re already generating massive buzz among collectors. Of course, no Pokémon discussion would be complete without tackling the never-ending battle against scalpers. From empty shelves to outrageous resale prices, the guys vent about the state of the hobby, share their own experiences, and debate what can be done to keep Pokémon fun for everyone. The laughs don’t stop there. Fan-favorite segments return with a Pokémon twist, including the return of Missed Connections , where every awkward encounter, collector story, and hilarious situation somehow circles back to Pikachu, Charizard, or that one guy buying every ETB in sight…
