This podcast is probably the best Pokémon podcast on iTunes. However, there is ONE THING I lament more than anything else. They terminated Mythical. They need to bring it back man, they need to at least finish the story. I would do quite a lot to see a final season of Mythical with the same length as the first to properly wrap things up. The story was never finished! I would pay quite a lot too for it, however I don’t have any money to spare, if I did, I’d pay $100 directly to SBJ to see the final season

My previous review was frustration from a few weeks of the show and not very fair. So here’s a not enraged review: It is the best Pokemon based podcast out there. Unfortunately it’s slim pickings, but they still cover the broadest range of topics and news and don’t manage to be cringey. I get really frustrated when it’s overly pessimistic about the franchise, or when politics dominate a topic, or even when they act like they aren’t associated with the largest grossing media franchise in the world while acting like corporations are evil, but on average it’s a decent show.

How much does a banana cost? $100! You can also raise the price of the banana by duct taping to the wall

Steve and Will and Bobby are mad lads. Hannah’s a mad … ladette? But anyway Steve and will should do more carve. Or Steve and somebody else if will’s living in like Italy with no Wi-Fi or something like that. Awesome podcast! Keep up the good work. Or even bad work. I look forward to Mondays because of this podcast.

I look forward to this podcast every week. I’ve been a Pokémon fan since I was about 4 years old, and now I’m 32. This podcast has taught me so much about this beloved franchise, and games. I’d probably be a lot more depressed if it was for this podcast, and keeping up with them on other social platforms. I highly recommend any Pokémon fan to listen to this and to follow them on all socials if you’re on them! P.s. I’d also like to follow the other hosts, but idk how to find them.. 😅

A decent show. I just can’t deal with the three hosts collectively choosing to ignore the r in Lapras.

I love Pokemon and podcasts 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

this is literally the most effective all around pokemon content podcast. they talk about events, the games, the anime, the music, the merch, and even the ... pikachu train? yep, it's a thing i learned about from this podcast. the hosts have some rotation and interviews but in general are consistent enough to have personalities i look forward to hearing and although i don't play sleep i get excited for them getting to get new music and islands or whatever. i also really enjoy the twitch and youtube content because it actually makes it clear how to solve getting the hard tera raids based on moves and values not just "take this iron hands and belly drum." i have a new respect for acid armor and howl and vaporeon is a utilitarian member my party always now. so this is longer than waiting for the windmill to spin in pales but five stars and infinite crams

Idk if you read these BUT I have tried to relisten to your mythical podcast but for some reason it does not let me listen to it and says it is unavailable, thank you

Steve do the carve again please with wilds releasing soon I need you back

This podcast is fantastic in every way. Well produced, interesting, engaging and often hilarious. It is one of things I look forward to most each week. If you are a fan of Pokémon in any way, this is a necessity for your ears.

I would say the podcast is pretty good and it isn’t bad but I just have mixed feelings about this

Every Monday I am super excited to see a new episode of this podcast! I think it’s the best podcast I could have found🤩

Love to just tune in to the podcast and is always fun to listen to the humor thirst Steve brings.

Now I’m actually up to date and not still thinking mega evolutions and gen 7 is the newest thing. (And its like, 2024, so yeah.)

Amazing

Nuff said. Otherwise a good podcast but Steve is kinda creepy

Can be annoying at times. Steve breaks down into giggles for no apparent reason with almost every sentence and often sets up straw man arguments to prove a point over things no one is really doing. The hosts all individually know a lot and it can be a fun listen occasionally. But more often than not they get too lost in the weeds and end up on a ranger and/or beating a topic to death.

Love this podcast my favorite podcast alongside a wild podcast has appeared

Use to listen every week but the hosts got very political and woke. To each their own opinion, but I just wanted Pokémon news not your ideology thrown in my face. If you’re woke you’ll like it - if your not… well it’s woke 🤷

I scrolled through the reviews and the 1 star reviews were just bad reviews. “Oh, I don’t like Steve because he has opinions that he shares on a podcast that HE runs! I don’t like them being negative about some stuff but I’ll just ignore all the positive opinions! Steve is too gay (yes there was one review that said that)!” It’s just wrong. I personally love the show even when I disagree with the opinions.

This show covers all of Pokémon (TCG, main series games, Sleep, anime, PoGo, and even… Van Gogh?). I love the main hosts as well as the special guest hosts when there’s specific PokéNews. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. They can sometimes be critical of certain things with Pokémon, but that gives the podcast balance and shows they’re all true fans of this franchise.

Good podcast many critic reviews

I am a new listener and watcher, I’ve binged a lot of episodes and over all I enjoy the podcast however the main host Steve sometimes seems a bit intimidating and it puts me off from interacting in comments or on discord. I hold a lot of nostalgia from the old games and Steve seems to dislike that, he doesn’t seem like the most warm and welcoming person. Speaking of nostalgia I really LOVED the women’s day episode hosted by Hannah. It brought me down memory lane hearing how they first found Pokémon, their experience falling off with Pokémon, and their experience coming back to Pokémon. All in all I enjoy but Steve can sometimes feel like he has a god complex and it sometimes feels like the co-hosts are hesitant to speak and share their opinion.

This show is one of my favorite podcasts! It’s informative, entertaining and often hilarious. When I first got into Pokémon I searched for a Pokémon podcast hoping to learn more about the game. Little did I know I was entering into a show I would continue to listen to for 4 years consistently, even when I would take breaks from the game. I love how honest they are about their experience of Pokémon both the good and the bad. The aspect I think I’ve appreciated most though is having my fandom for a “kids game” being validated as an older adult in various ways by them. Steve, Greg and Hannah are so genuine and relatable for me. Also their fan community is amazing! Thank you PKMNcast!!

I had been an active listener since 2016, even started paying in 2022 (even though I never got the additional content). I’ve trailed off because since SV’s initial trailer and then release, this podcast has just been been Steve complaining about the community for more than half the episodes. It got annoying. Will and Greg were the saviors of this for me but half of that has been gone. You also can’t question Steve, criticize him or call him out on hypocrisy. I’ve left a comment on YouTube before and minimally on twitter. Steve will respond to you with a childish response and never respond back. Or he will block you on Twitter after 1 simple criticism, but not before he gives you his childish response. Steve is turning into Verlisify

Hey there! I’ve been a listener since 2019. The show has always been great, but I’ve LOVED the addition of Hannah. I love her analysis of the story, and how much care she has for the characters and points the games are trying to get across. I also have really enjoyed Greg’s Pokemon Unite analysis. And Steve puts so much effort into gathering the news, reporting on it well, and making all of the graphics for the news/game events. The show is incredible, and I just appreciate all of you that put in all the hard work to bring a high quality, but still whimsical show. Thank you!

It made me want to play scarlet and violet you are the best podcast I have ever heard

One of the funniest and most awesome podcast I ever will listen to. I hope you guys continue to make this show. It makes me smile. “Cut my balls in half… ooh that was a weird sentence.” -Steve

I was listening and found a coddle that was SHINY✨🌟your pod cast is lucky

It’s pretty good, funny and they cover almost everything. Personally I’m glad I didn’t listen to the bad reviews.

Sometime I just scroll for random episodes that sound interesting and when I saw an episode that was called Wigglet, there was no hesitation, just click. 💛🤍🖤💜

This is the Pokémon version of the StarWars fandom. They’re huge pokemon fans, right? Then why do they hate everything that Pokemon does as a company? If you want negative takes on everything Pokemon, you’ve found your show.

It’s about Pokémon so it must be good

BͦRͦIͦNͦGͦ BͦAͦCͦKͦ TͦHͦEͦ OͦLͦDͦ TͦEͦAͦMͦ PͦLͦSͦSͦSͦ 🎏👅🌜🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋

I come here for all my Pokémon news, love the cast! Keep up the good work

I overall enjoy the podcast, the quality of sound is great and the voices are easy to understand. I feel like the topics could be condensed. For example,soo much is said about a certain topic it feels like it’s being beat into the ground by the time it’s time to move on, and the same ideas are being repeated over and over until I’m almost tempted to skip 10 seconds at a time to move it along. Also, I know this sounds personal but Steve says something, then laughs pretty much after every statement he makes, and it makes me want to hit my head on the wall at times. Idk maybe I just need coffee before listening to this podcast. Overall it’s okay, not my favorite pokemon podcast, but worth listening to.

Every day I wach this

Nuff said

I often find the main host to be remarkably whiny about games he doesn’t read the rules for. I tune in for Hannah because she’s a voice of reason and very thoughtful!!

Hands down, the best Pokémon podcast that exists. This is it. Look no further, this is the podcast you’re looking for for all things Pokémon. Stop scrolling, go ahead and subscribe, follow, whatever you gotta do because this is the one you’re looking for. Seriously, stop wasting time reading reviews and tune in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a review of It’s Super Effective’s array of content, including the podcast, twitch streams, and social media engagement. I am a HUGE Pokémon fan, and I’m really the only one among my friends. For a long time I’ve searched for a community to discuss all things Pokemon, and I was really excited when I found this podcast. Steve and co. are incredibly thorough in their Pokémon news coverage, and they all have different points of view to offer. With so many different ways to enjoy Pokémon, they somehow manage to cover everything among the three of them. My disappointment with It’s Super Effective is how Steve interacts with and speaks about his listeners, viewers, and followers. He is incredibly impatient with viewers, often responding to questions with snarky quips or sarcastic answers. For someone so on top of inclusivity, he makes a lot of off-hand comments about viewers’ ability to read or pay attention. With Scarlet/Violet 7-star raids happening so frequently now - and with his more frequent streams about these raids - this behavior has become more and more front and center. I can appreciate sarcastic humor, but the way he speaks to his viewers and followers has just become disrespectful. This translates to how speaks about his streams on the podcast and how he responds to Instagram comments. It’s hard to sit by and watch sometimes - if I was the person on the receiving end, I would feel really hurt that a content creator I admire spoke to me with such disrespect and lack of patience. If a comment or chat truly bothers you, don’t address it in your content if you’re going rag on them. I’ve decided to unfollow It’s Super Effective on all fronts - I’ll find a more respectful Pokémon content creator elsewhere. I’m leaving three stars because community itself is amazing, and the podcast is high quality. But those positives do not outweigh the feeling of being spoke down to. I don’t need that kind of energy invading my love for Pokémon.

This podcast always keeps me updated on everything I’ll ever need to know about Pokémon. Keep up the great work, love u guys!

This podcast is great for everything Pokémon, this podcast gives me so much good information that I didn’t know I need. It’s great for when I’m heading home or when I had some free time. Great for Pokémon lovers all over the world. Highly recommended for people who play Pokémon.

I’ve been listening to the show for years, and throughout many different guest hosts. This is consistently the best Pokémon podcast out there and it’s not even close. You get quick and reliable Pokémon information weekly, as well as being extremely punctual. Same day, every week. No Monday can ever be complete unless I have my dose of PKMNCast.

I have been listening since sometime in the timeframe of BDSP and before Legends and as the title says I have been loving it

This show is just want I need on a Monday morning going into work. I definitely recommend to anyone who even slightly enjoys Pokémon.

Great pod. Pls bring will back pls

My childhood is over goodbye Ash😭😭

Just want to say that I love the shake up in hosts for the show. Will and Greg are great but tbh I was wondering for awhile when Will was gonna announce his retirement. I thought it was gonna happen way back when he would talk about the plant growing app lol. But I think this podcast’s large group of guest-hosts is one of this podcast’s greatest assets. And I hope that Steve is still having fun with it during these times. The show feels as genuine as always for me, the new blood makes the show fun to listen to.
