In this special episode of the Pika Pals Podcast, Jed is joined by his good friends Ben and Fin — as they share some wild tales from their Pokémon adventures! From heated playground card trades that sparked an epic Squirtle showdown to the heartbreaking loss of precious Game Boy save data, these stories take you right back to the golden days of classic battles. And yes — they even speculate on which Pokémon would best match Geri Halliwell, because when it comes to girl power, there’s only one right answer.
⚡️ What you’ll hear in this episode:
Wild Pokémon stories from the playground days with Ben and Fin
Card trades gone wrong, epic Squirtle battles, and lost Game Boy saves
A hilarious debate on which Pokémon channels true girl power
Nostalgic memories, parody sponsors, and Pokémon-inspired jokes
Heartfelt reflections on why these friendships (and Pokémon) still matter today
