That Pokemon Podcast

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the first episode of 2026. We’re back with a jumbo-sized Pokémon show, even if Megan is out this week.

We’re breaking down the first official LEGO Pokémon sets, including the massive Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise build, why the Eevee set works, and why Pikachu… kind of doesn’t. We also talk about LEGO’s new Smart Bricks, what they mean for future Pokémon sets, and why prices might get wild fast.

Plus, a $300,000 Pokémon card robbery at gunpoint, a museum promo Pikachu card that looks completely broken, Logan Paul pitching a Pokémon remake that already exists, and why Pokémon events keep choosing Chicago.

We wrap things up with the Pokémon Fact of the Week, focusing on Growlithe and Arcanine, one of the most universally loved Pokémon lines that somehow still gets under-served on merch.
