No Big Woop!

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 144 Recording Date: 7/28/2026 Publish Date: 8/3/2026 Watch the video version of this podcast at: http://patreon.com/pokemonprofessor  Will the party reach Goldenrod City during this episode? We all pretty much know that it will be a bit, but here’s to being hopeful! We start off with Brock leading the way with a map and his gut feeling, only to be surprised by a random Wooper. After taking a tumble and getting back to their feet, the party meets Olesia, who is a Wooper Trainer that has a school specifically for Wooper. This is just one of many instances that we have seen where specific Pokémon have buildings, celebrations, or even entire towns themed after them. While Brock is busy falling in love, we see some interesting Training techniques including a tambourine. Misty is astonished by the cuteness and takes part in the Training. While Team Rocket complains that they are starving, Olesia treats Ash and friends to some biscuits, before rushing out to take care of her Mom while leaving the party behind to take care of… everything. Thanks couldn’t go more wrong when Team Rocket shows up to wreak havoc on everything and allow one of the Wooper to scurry off on its own. We see a few arcs happening at once, with poor Togepi left with the tambourine back at the school. We end up seeing a pretty great battle and even have a Wobbofet appearance.When it’s all said and done and time to leave, Brock asks if he could shake up with Olesia, before Misty drags him away by his ear! Maybe the party will arrive at Goldenrod City next episode, but we will have to wait and see!
