About Pika Pals Podcast: Pokémon Anime Retrospective!
Your weekly dose of Pokémon fun and nostalgia!
Hosted by Jed — a 90s kid who grew up with the original TV show and the craze that came with it — this podcast is a love letter to Pokémon. I revisit the original Pokémon TV series and the world around it: toys, trading cards, video games, playground rumours, and all the moments that made Pokémania a cultural phenomenon.
