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

Love to just tune in to the podcast

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

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

The podcast is awesome in the sense that they’re all super knowledgeable and informative about the franchise as a whole. However, the podcast mainly focuses on Pokémon go and the tcg which doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for anything else pokemon related. In fact I’ve learned way more about the mall of America than I ever cared to just by listening. I’ve been listening to close to two years now and the biggest thing I’ve noticed is that the host is heavily invested in the pokemon community. So much so that he almost seems condescending and ridicules the people that are just casual enjoyers of the franchise. It’s mostly a good listen but whatever you do, don’t disagree with Steve. The podcast will come to a screeching halt as he proceeds to completely dismiss his guests’ opinions because they’re “wrong” and explain why he’s right and there’s no other good opinions other than those that agree with his.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plz do dnd again :(

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.

I love this podcast, your content is awesome!

I don’t want Ash to leave the anime! 🥺🥺🥺 I want Ash and Goh to explore Paldea together! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I just love this podcast it is so fun to listen to and super informative. I hope you keep making this podcast and happy 2023!!

I love listening to you guys at work, really helps the time fly by. I always love all the tangents too, very fun to listen to. Also wanted to say thank you for recommending Gamefreak’s Pocket Card Jockey on the Apple Arcade because it’s so fun! Best Pokémon: Munna

Omg finally an ACTUALLY good Pokémon podcast! Like literally I have no complaints

I absolutely love this Podcast! Keeps up to date on all Pokémon news. The best part of the show is the round table debate about things related t Pokémon. Appreciate the honesty and straightforward dialogue. Steve and company are truly dedicated to the love of Pokémon and really dona good job representing all fans!

U guys just made podcast of the week in one of my newspapers! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Vroom vroom listeners! It’s a little bit Paldea! This is a great, HAND-CRAFTED podcast. Whether it’s the TCG, video games, anime, or anything else, they cover it all, and will always make you laugh. Also, love ur TCG max raid 8-year-old story. #giveittopharel Sorry, I got a little carried away with the references

I may be one of the few people who actually like the complaining it just part of the charm of the podcast

I listen to The super effective podcast while shiny hunting and doing raids and it’s the only thing keeping me sane when I hatch a fuecoco for the 600th time. Just saw there was a new episode out, can’t wait to listen! Love what y’all do!

I absolutely love this podcast, it’s very quickly become my favorite!

Love the crew so much. SBJ is an excellent host and has excellent chemistry with just about everyone; however, I do hope they find a good replacement for Will soon. The new Super Picnic episodes are borderline unlistenable because, without a good foil, Greg takes up a lot of time and space, and we can’t move on from his takes, especially since he is so resistant to feedback and information provided by the host—which is fine, usually there has to be a personality that provides discussion and tension. Will just did a great job moving things along, and we need another personality to help with that.

I listen to it while I play games and it’s so nice!

Steve, Will, & Greg (The Three Ludicolos) are by far the BEST conversationalists when it comes to Pokémon & Pokéculture. ISF is the only show I’ll listen to about PKMN & tbqh, I think it’s one of the most diverse, in terms of sexuality. My one ding is I wish they had more special guests of BIPOC & their experiences with the game, but it’s probably not for lack of trying. Listen to more than 2 episodes and it’s obvious how hands-on Steve is & how DIY the process is for them. Despite that, the quality of the podcast is something on par with EarWolf or Spotify Podcasts, Ringer, or even Gimlet. No lies!! Tight-tight-tight editing & music use! Good conversation with little fodder! And the respect to pronouns, the anti-ableist stance of Greg, Will, & Steve each, & the lovely supportive nature of their show, down to the willingness to get into nitty gritty of competitive play to PKMNTCG, just so people can enjoy their hobby to the max; is applaudable. Please applaud. Please listen. Update: this is, by far and away, the best and most fair coverage of PKMN Scarlet & Violet! It’s incredible stuff!!
