About this episode

The episode explores imaginative and bizarre settings for the next Pokémon game, featuring original ideas and humorous commentary.

We all know that Pokémon is running out of ideas, but it turns out there's a simple solution: Just change the location! We've got 6 totally original ideas for The Pokémon Company to explore, and they definitely won't all involve lengthy copyright battles. Eddie suggests the most extreme places he could find on Earth, Bear goes to the most bizarre places he could find not on Earth, and Alex pitches the most magical places of them all... Meanwhile, Judge Jamie gets baffled by the new status conditions we're adding: Decapitation, Wanted Levels, and Dead (yes, Decapitation and Dead are different things). We explore some realistic Pokémon settings such as The Big Apple and Christmas, as well as some weirder choices involving Dinosaurs and A Galaxy Far Far Away, and finally some truly original content from Frank Herbert and Lewis Carroll. If Pokémon was already weird enough for you then good luck with this episode!
