Chazingdra Chats (A Pokémon Podcast)

It's the *90th* episode of Chazingdra Chats! An honour to be joined by PaPaSea, whose phenomenally popular 'Beating Pokémon how Nintendo Intended' series defined his channel - but just how did he get to where he is today? Come and discover PaPaSea's fascinating life story and the 6 Pokémon most special to him over the years that he would choose for his Dream Team - let PaPaSea and I make your day merry! It's time for Chazingdra Chats to evolve! Going forwards, I'll be doing seasons of the show rather than releasing every single week. This will mean I'll have more time to make other kinds of content and curate rosters of guests for each season. Thank you so much for your wonderful support of Chazingdra Chats and I'll see you soon for Season 2! 👉 Please do leave a RATING & REVIEW if you're enjoying our chat, they go such a long way and it would mean a huge amount.

#6pokemon1lifestory  Look no further than this video for the most comprehensive insight into a World Champion's story that you could wish for. Thousands of Trainers competed all year long to reach that hallowed position, but it was Giovanni Cischke of the USA that came out on top in 2025. Discover his start with Pokémon watching over his brother's shoulder while he played, how he nearly didn't attempt to qualify for the World Championships - and ultimately why he always believed he could win. Please do leave a rating & review if you're enjoying it, it would mean a huge amount and really helps out. Thank you! N.B.
