  • #34 - Strike a Pika Pose (Pokémon Fashion Flash)
    Jan 24 2026

    In this episode of the Pika Pals Podcast, Jed rewatches “Pokémon Fashion Flash” — where Ash and friends wander onto Scissor Street, a glamorous hub of Pokémon salons, beauty parlours, and questionable fashion choices. What begins as a light-hearted look at Pokémon makeovers quickly turns into a clash of philosophies about appearance, care, and what truly brings out a Pokémon’s strength — with Team Rocket running a suspiciously successful salon of their own.


    💬 Join the conversation:

    • ​Do you agree with Suzie’s belief that a Pokémon’s strength comes from within, or do looks matter too?
    • ​Was this Brock’s most unexpected character moment so far?
    • ​Which Pokémon makeover from the Indigo League stands out to you the most?

    Jan 17 2026

    In this episode of the Pika Pals Podcast, Jed rewatches Pokémon “Hypno’s Naptime” — where Ash and friends arrive in a quiet town plagued by a disturbing mystery: children have been vanishing in their sleep, Pokémon at the local Center aren’t recovering, and a strange sleep wave has been drifting through the area night after night. Teaming up with Officer Jenny, the group begins an investigation that leads to one of the creepiest Pokémon episodes of the Indigo League.

    • ​Did “Hypno’s Naptime” scare you as a kid, or did it fly over your head at the time?
    • ​Is this one of the darkest episodes of the Indigo League?
    • ​Which Pokémon episode do you think pushed the boundaries of “kids’ TV” the most?

    • ​Did Erika deserve her reputation as one of the calmest Gym Leaders in Kanto?
    • ​Which Grass-type Pokémon from the Indigo League would you trust to run a perfume shop?
