  • We did it. We played every mainline Pokémon game. After 21 months of prep, play, and production, Season 6 has come to a close. It doesn't feel quite real, even as I write this out. I feel like there is still more to do.

    For the season's structure, the classic bounce back-and-forth format of Chapter Select stands strong. We chose Pokémon generations as the backbone of the schedule. This allowed us to play the remakes where applicable. Here is the order we have for Season 6:

    Episode 1 – Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (2004) is releasing on August 23, 2023. Episode 2 – Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (2022) is releasing on September 6, 2023 with special guest Chris Compendio. Episode 3 – Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (2010) is releasing September 20, 2023 with special guest Peter Spezia. Episode 4 – Pokémon Sword and Shield (2019) is releasing October 4, 2023. Episode 5 – Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby (2014) is releasing on October 18, 2023 with special guest Cameron Hawkins. Episode 6 – Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (2017) is releasing on November 1, 2022 with special guest Grant Callahan. Episode 7 – Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (2021) is releasing on November 15, 2023. Episode 8 – Pokémon X and Y (2013) is releasing on November 29, 2023 with special guest Tomas Franzese. Episode 9 – Pokémon Black and White (2010) is releasing on December 13, 2023. Episode 10 – Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 (2012) is releasing on December 27, 2023.

    While I am no stranger to the brand of Pokémon, I am to most of these games. Before embarking on this journey, I had only played Blue and Diamond. Much like the protagonists at the start of the games, I have embarked on my very own Pokémon adventure filled with discovery.

    As for my rival Logan, he's been earning badges and becoming Champion since the beginning. He's played almost every mainline game before this season and is here to make sure I memorize the type chart.

    These ten episodes are not all we have in store for Pokémon. Super Chapter Select members have access to our Poké Battles in every single game. It's a 10 round rivalry-fueled gauntlet to see who truly is the best. You can sign up for just $20 a year for all these battles, longer shows, and exclusive episodes. You can learn more about Super Chapter Select here.

    The art this season is taking the iconic Pokémon start screens and modifying them for the show. I've struggled coming up with this concept, but after playing around with fonts, colors, and console boarders, this is what we have chosen. As of this writing, I haven't made most of the art yet, so I am excited to see where it goes!

    We are thrilled to finally announce Season 6 - Pokémon! We've been working on this one for over a year. The first episode will be launching next month – August 23, 2023 – with new episodes following in a fortnightly manner. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

    We have been working on Super Chapter Select for nearly two years now. The first journal entry I have fleshing out the idea is dated November 29, 2021. We began production in earnest with Season 3 – Banjo-Kazooie. That's also when we planned on launching the membership alongside Season 6 – Pokémon.

    You could say this has been a long time coming. Logan and I have made shows together for over eight years. We love podcasting together and producing the best show possible. We now feel like we have a special show and offering for fans to directly support the us and the program.

    Producing a premium show has been a goal of mine for over five years. I’ve been studying memberships and shows I adore to understand what makes them appealing to me and their audiences. I wanted to take our time and build our show right. I set out to apply their best principles in a way that fits our show and gives our audience a wonderful product at a fair price.

    Thank you for joining us for this next chapter. We hope you enjoy!
