Episode 117: Pokemon Double Trouble

Welcome back to The Pokémon Snapshot! This week, we’re heading to the ultimate tourist trap with Episode 117, "Pokémon Double Trouble." We’re arriving at Kumquat Island, where Ash is immediately tackled on the beach by a woman who is absolutely convinced he is her son, Travis.

⚡ In This Episode:

Not Ash's Mom: We meet Luana, the final Orange Crew Gym Leader, who practically suffocates Ash in a hug (and we discuss the hilarious visual differences between the English and Japanese dubs during the embrace).

The Green Initiative: Team Rocket shows up in an "eco-friendly" Rhydon Mech powered by Arbok and Lickitung on treadmills, only to accidentally melt a hole in their own machine and blast off before the 10-minute mark.

A Petty Rivalry: Years before Double Battles were officially a thing, Ash enters a Tag Battle with Pikachu and Charizard—but they spend the first half of the match getting into a petty grudge match and attacking each other instead of their opponents.

The Tag Battle Comeback: Charizard finally catches a falling Pikachu, and the two team up to pull off an epic flying combo to take down Alakazam and Marowak for the Jade Star Badge.

🐵 Who's That Pokémon: Mankey!

Jeff leads a deep dive into the perpetually pissed-off Pig Monkey Pokémon, Mankey!

The Delinquent Monkey: We break down the name origins, including the English mashup of "Manic/Cranky Monkey" and the brilliant Japanese pun using "Yanki" (slang for an aggressive delinquent or hooligan).

Pig-Monkey Biology: Learn how Mankey's design takes the real-world Japanese macaque (snow monkey) and playfully slaps a pig snout right on its face.

The Cycle of Rage: We discuss Mankey's hilarious lack of object permanence, how it gets furious just from being lonely, and its miserable existence of getting so mad it falls asleep, only to wake up angry about its own dreams.
