If you have any comments, feedback, recommendations or suggestions for future episodes please leave all that in the comments section for this post and not the comments sections of the other platforms where the episodes will be posted, because it would really suck if you left your stuff there and *Poof* that platform is either gone, turned to crap or my account there is deleted haha (I'm trying not to jinx THIS site 😅).

- For the YouTube version, I switched out the house tunes for songs from Pokémon soundtracks and the video flew through the content check without any trouble. Phew. So that's the new format for YouTube, I'm considering songs from other video game soundtracks too, especially older games, so if you want to suggest some soundtracks feel free. What I attempted to do in this episode was play songs that fit with what you see in the gameplay footage. I think I did well enough 😂 you be the judge.

- In Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter, the episode covers Bonus Chapters 13 (Lake Monster), 14 (Magical Raccoon), 15 (Arbok Patterns) and 16 (Zapdos) to conclude the lengthy HM Surf backtrack run. Also included in the episode are the evolution methods for Electabuzz -> Electivire, Vulpix 1 -> Onetales and MarshtompX -> SwampertX.

- Book 1 of The Circle continues and the following parts are featured:

- Mae exhaled
- Mae drove back
- Well help her
- On Monday
- The clinic's lobby
- OK, you just ingested the sensor
- Why didn't you tell me sooner

- In Pokémon Team Rocket Edition, there's a major plot twist in the Gym challenge mission and the action goes under the Viridian City Gym. I threw in the extra music because Chapter 5 of the audiobook was short and didn't cover enough of the remaining stretch of the Viridian Gym.

- Chapter 5 (1929 - The Room at 23 Wall, Crash, and Big-Six Take) of All the Presidents' Bankers is covered, a short chapter that runs just over 23 minutes long.

**Extra themes**
- Team Rocket Hideout [Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee]
