Even before the world of Pokémon began to expand, there was much to discover in the journey across the Kanto Region. It's time to dust off the old pokédex, fellow students of lore! 

Today we are diving into the distant past for a broad discussion of what  the world was like during the first generation of Pokémon, when there were only 150 of these pocket monsters to explore! The nostalgia is super effective, we discuss the games, the cards, the iconic Ash Ketchum and Pikachu and their experiences in the anime, and much more!

Thank you all for joining us on this journey. The larger-than-life worlds that sprout from the human imagination never cease to amaze us, and it is a pleasure to explore them with you!

We're very excited to announce that we have merch! Take a look here https://cult-shop-net.creator-spring.com/
