Going Apricorns

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 139: Going Apricorns Recording Date: 4/27/2026 Publish Date: 5/3/2026 Watch the video version of this podcast at: http://patreon.com/pokemonprofessor  We finally make it to Azalea Town! We also get one step closer to understanding the GS Ball! We see Ash hand off the GS Ball to Kurt, who is excited to take a closer look. We won’t have closure on this part of this story arc though, as Kurt has absolutely no idea what the GS Ball is or how it works! Confident he can learn more over time, he will have to hold on to the GS Ball for longer to go into deeper analysis. We actually learn a lot about Poké Balls in this episode, as Kurt has mastered the art of harvesting Apricords and converting them into different types of Poké Balls. This lore is VERY welcomed in a series of episodes that have been tangential to the main quest. With Lane being an expert on Johto, he reveals that unfortunately, we won’t hear about the different types of balls that Kurt makes after this episode.  Team Rocket actually turns their priority from kidnapping Pikachu to stealing Kurt’s Apricorn operation. They think if they can make a fortune off of selling the unique Poké Balls. We meet a few Pineco, as they are hanging off of the apricorn trees, and they get involved in a scuffle with Team Rocket. When the dust settles, we see Brock have the opportunity to not only catch a Pineco, but to do it in one of Kurt’s custom Fast Balls. While we haven’t yet reached the Azalea Town gym, it was definitely cool that Brock was able to add a new Pokémon to his roster!
