Playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Hi! 

Hope everyone is well. It's a new month, and I am going to tackle some new things. First thing is some more streams! Irene and I sat down to play some Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I wouldn't call this a "Let's Play", I would say that we are just dabbling in long form video content. If you can't make it to the streams live, it'll all go up on our YouTube page the following day. 

That being said, Irene and I will be steaming Snippercli...

It's Been Busy

I feel like so much has already been accomplished this year making the podcast sound better, three upcoming shows (PAX East, C2E2, and Midwest Gaming Classic), and that we've had two outstanding guests on far (SuperDuperDani and 2017-02-20 19:58:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Alola! From Pokémon Sun & Moon

Hopefully you all are enjoying your stay in the Alola region! There is no "normal" episode of It's Super Effective this week. Instead I have been putting out these "mini episodes" that walks though my journey of Pokémon Sun & Moon. I am joined by Micah and Irene as we all share our thoughts on Generation 7. 

There are 3 episodes out right now with a 4th coming later tonight. The first episode is our thoughts on the start of the game up to the Trainer school. The second episo...

The Season of Thanks & Giving

With Pokémon Sun & Moon coming this week, sometimes we forget that not everyone can get the game on Day 1. While we can’t give everyone a copy, a member of our Slack Community, Stephen T, has stepped up to provide a free copy of Pokémon Sun to someone on launch day. 🙌🏻

This is a hard contest to pitch and to write for, but it really comes down to generosity. Stephen offered to giveaway a copy of Pokémon Sun for those who might be financially unable to pick it up on Day 1. View Post

Shipped!

First off, I want to thank you all for your continued support of "It's Super Effective". Next week will be one of the busiest weeks I'll have all year. I am excited and cannot wait to put out even more content for you all.

PenPals

Our wonderful Miss Dellaney, in Slack, came up with a great idea of hosting a penpal program. If you are interested in joining please let her and me know via Slack. The first attempt of it seemed wildly successful and fun. Here are her rules below: 

Every month, you will be randomly assigned to a group of three or four other Pen Pals.  You write one letter for each of the other Pen Pals in your group, and send it off to them!  Then you get their letters in return!

Video Reviews - Early Look

I decided to try something new... I'm going to do a small series of reviewing items from PokémonCenter.com. If you guys like this series, I'll keep doing it! They are suppose to be direct, no fluff, bit more of a dry humor paired with my thoughts on said review items. 

The lighting and the sound may not be perfect, I just decided to give it a quick run tonight to have a good basis for future videos.

6 Years of "It's Super Effective" with a New Look

Happy Birthday... to us! Today is our 6th year of recording and producing "It's Super Effective". I'm so proud of the show and what it has become. What stands out the most to me after all these years of ISE has been our listeners. I have met so many amazing people and formed so many great friendships, which would never have happened if I didn't start this podcast.

For being $10+ backers, you guys get early access to the Kickstarter Exclusive episode. This episode was made because of the 165 backers who believed in us on Kickstarter.

Thanks for supporting the show! We should be having a DRAWFUL night soon and you guys will have first access to that too!

Pokémon GO with Austin Creed (WWE's Xavier Woods)

The bread & butter of PKMNcast has always been It's Super Effective. I was lucky enough to meet up with Austin Creed and got to do some Pokémon GO stuff with him AND interview him. Both the interview and the Pokémon GO video above are really the first time I've done the whole "YouTube thing". Hopefully you enjoy both videos and hopefully I can provide more content like this to you guys if you dig i...

Interview with WWE Superstar Xavier Woods (Austin Creed)

This past weekend I flew to ATL to record an episode of It's Super Effective with Austin Creed. Austin does his own gaming show called UpUpDownDown and is a fan of Pokémon. We recorded about 52 mins of podcast material, and then we shot some footage of us playing Pokémon GO (coming soon). 

It was crazy to spend an afternoon with someone who is on TV weekly and he was a genuine dude. While I didn't originally plan on shooting video of the podcast part,...

24/7 PKMNcast Radio!

Yesterday's post I said new things were coming soon. Soon is today! As of today, there are over 240 episodes of It's Super Effective in iTunes. For new listeners or even listeners that haven't been around for the past 5+ years, this can be daunting to see. If we rounded each episode to an hour, that is 10 straight days of content. 

Speaking personally, sometimes I don't know what I want to listen to, so I turn on something that autoplays audio that I know I would enjoy. I strug...
