==Reception==
''It's Super Effective'' is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on {{wp|iTunes}} and {{wp|Zune}}. "It's Super Effective" was pulled from iTunes after having to move their servers in July 2012. Once the server move was complete, "It's Super Effective" peaked at the #2 "Top Podcasts" in the "Video Game Podcasts" in the iTunes Store. On the Zune Marketplace, the podcast peaked at #55 on the service's "most subscribed podcasts" list and #48 on its "most subscribed audio podcasts" list.<ref name="Zune">As shown in "Marketplace → Podcast" section of Zune software on October 23, 2012. Software is required to view list.</ref> It became the leading Pokémon podcast after The Pallet Tribune's ''[[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]'' ended production in 2010, the same year that ''ISE'' debuted. It won the third, fourth, and fifth annual {{wp|Shorty Awards}} (2011 - 2013) in the community-created category of "The Best Podcast in Social Media"<ref name="ShortyPodcast">"[http://shortyawards.com/category/podcast The Best Podcast in Social Media]".

==Competition==
"It's Super Effective" debuted at the end of the P.U.C.L. and WTPT - Pokémon Radio rivalry. ISE talked about both Pokémon Monday and WTPT on various episodes but never mentioned P.U.C.L directly. P.U.C.L. then called out Black on episode 90 during reading their fan mail. After that point, it was mentioned on ISE that Black stated it was "funny" that P.U.C.L. thought they "won" at being the #1 Pokémon podcast because ISE, in only a couple of months, passed both these establish shows in popularity and listeners. ISE not only broke into the top 100 most downloaded video game podcasts, in iTunes, when the other show did not, but ISE sits with over 10x as many Facebook fans and 5000+ Twitter fans. Since then not much has been said between theses shows. Bouncing Wailord, on the other hand, has never said anything bad about ISE or the staff of the show. In fact, most of the ISE cast has appeared on their episodes.

Talk:It's Super Effective (podcast)

2016-08-15T17:23:46Z

Committhistomemory: /* New Logo */ new section

Someone placed a banner disputing the neutrality of this article, calling for discussion on that subject here on the talk page. No one has done that yet, so I thought I would start. I understand the worry, as this has been edited by those who are affiliated with the subject matter (myself included,) but I would hesitate to say it is too far from neutral. However, obviously my opinion is a bit biased. Thoughts on what (if anything) needs changing? I apologize if this isn't protocol for talk pages. I'm new to them.

[[User:Traf12|Traf12]] 17:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree, the content on the podcast's bulbapedia page is factualy. Perhaps in the first section that mentions the podcast as "having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's WTPT - Pokémon Radio" may seem bias. Maybe this needs to be cited for credibility which will eliminate any percieved bias

[[User:Sprucey|Sprucey]] ([[User talk:Sprucey|talk]]) 04:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Taking the top spot would probably refer to the amount of reviews in iTunes. While WTPT has 159 reviews (with a 4.5 star rating), ISE has 244 reviews (with a 5 star rating). WTPT also has 250+ fans on Facebook, while ISE has over 1400 fans. Finally WTPT has 400 followers on Twitter, while ISE has over 2000. I think those are all good cites for creditability.

Finally - I disagree with how the awards are hidden. Those can be cited and various other podcasts did compete to win both times. If an artist won a grammy or an oscar, those would be featured on their said Wikipeida. It would be the same here. The "Shorty" awards is a hosted and sponsored event, therefor that sound stand.

[[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 06:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Who can we talk to about what needs to be done on behalf of ISE or Bulbapedia to resolve this?
[[User:GrimmDark|GrimmDark]] ([[User talk:GrimmDark|talk]])

== Changes to the article ==

Okay, I took a look at the article and made some changes. The main problems were that it did read a little like an advertisement, and also felt like an infodump, with lots and lots of lists that were all but meaningless without context. So here's what I've done:

*A new "Reception" section to deal with the accolades the podcast has achieved. This means that the blurb concerning its popularity is no longer right at the top, which makes the article feel less than an ad, and I've also restored the paragraph about awards, and put it here. Obviously if the podcast attracted any negative attention or controversy, this would also be the place for it.
*The various lists of co-hosts have been placed with the staff, and made into sentences so that they don't stretch the page so much.
*The website stuff has been hidden until the many items on the list can be elaborated upon. At the moment it's not really doing anything other than taking up space: these list items are meaningless without descriptions.
*Some stuff has been reordered. The show's features really should be the first information presented. These could also do with some expansion.

I considered getting rid of the in-jokes and the table of episode titles, but these can stay for now. However, there needs to be more actual information about the show and its content to counterbalance this. At the moment the in-jokes section is twice as long as the features section. This really shouldn't be the case.

As it stands, I think the article is reasonably neutral and I've removed the POV tag. I hope this satisfies all concerned. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] ([[User talk:Bikini Miltank|talk]]) 17:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

:Besides a few minor formatting issues, which I'll fix, this is a much more reasonable version of the article. Many thanks to you, Bikini. [[User:BulbaPediaAid|BulbaPedia]][[User talk:BulbaPediaAid|Aid]] 01:06, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

:: I think stating that a giveaway was done to promote and get iTunes reviews is unnecessary and bias. Websites do this all the time to promote traffic and to reward fans. The statement in this article has a negative tone and adds nothing to the real content. It doesn't actually acknowledge the winner of the giveaway, which would put a more neutral spin on it. ISE has had multiple giveaways, and none of those are mentioned as well. On top of that, ISE is consistently in the top 50 of the most video game podcasts, it sits next to shows like the Instance, Internet Box, Retronauts and more. You see very few of those shows with under 100 reviews, which says something about the fan base, and really disregards the fact that the contest forced popularity. [[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 04:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Content Removal ==

BulbapediaAid, I recognize your reasoning in deleting some of the sections in this article. They were nearing adspeak and I understand that. However, I think it's a bit ridiculous to be deleting entire sections outright without so much as a mention on the discussion page. Please discuss these sorts of things before going commando.

[[User:Traf12|Traf12]] ([[User talk:Traf12|talk]]) 17:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
:It would be better to post this message on the BulbapediaAid's talk page since it only deals with an issue specific to the user. Just something to keep account of in the future. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

== New Content ==

Adding content. To BulbapeidaAid and others. I've been adding content to this page being an avid fan and trying to build this page up. While I'm not a Bulbapeida expert by any means, or a Wikipedia expert - I'm just doing the best I can to fill in the blanks and building this page. WTPT is a good page to reference because in their couple years, their page is HUGE. I think ISE has gone above and beyond not only WTPT but most Pokémon sites by winning awards, donating $1000 to Child's Play, and even having the webmaster of Bulbapedia on in honestly a short amount of time. It seems like a lot of the content removal is basis and preventing this page from growing. Also, looking at Steve's Twitter (@dragginglake) it looks like he did indeed win the Shorty Award for Best #Podcaster. [[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 21:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

== New Logo ==

We should update the page with the new logo and podcast art, but keeping the old art and logos somewhere else for history purposes.

==Competition==
"It's Super Effective" debuted at the end of the P.U.C.L. and WTPT - Pokémon Radio rivalry. ISE talked about both Pokémon Monday and WTPT on various episodes but never mentioned P.U.C.L directly. P.U.C.L. then called out Black on episode 90 during reading their fan mail. After that point, it was mentioned on ISE that Black stated it was "funny" that P.U.C.L. thought they "won" at being the #1 Pokémon podcast because ISE, in only a couple of months, passed both these establish shows in popularity and listeners. ISE not only broke into the top 100 most downloaded video game podcasts, in iTunes, when the other show did not, but ISE sits with over 10x as many Facebook fans and 5000+ Twitter fans. Since then not much has been said between theses shows. Bouncing Wailord, on the other hand, has never said anything bad about ISE or the staff of the show. In fact, most of the ISE cast has appeared on their episodes.

===Segments===
*'''Introduction''' - Steve usually begins with "What's up, everybody?" and introduces the cast members.
*'''News''' - The hosts discuss recent events in the Pokémon community.
*'''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' - Steve and occasionally another cast member grill another cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two [[Type]]s, [[Pokémon]], or [[Item]]s.
*'''Featured Team''' - Steve and the cast give comments and constructive criticism on a listener's submitted team of Pokémon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in ''{{wp|Nintendo Power}}'' magazines he read in his childhood.
*'''Pokémon of the Week''' - Steve and the cast usually end the show with talking about one Pokémon in particular. This sometimes relates to the weekly articles on the website. The chat ranges between facts of the Pokémon, movesets recommendations, and sometimes debates on whether or not the shiny form is cool.

===Guests===
These people have made one or two appearances on the show, either as a co-host or as an interviewee.

==Competition==
"It's Super Effective" debuted at the end of the P.U.C.L. and WTPT - Pokémon Radio rivalry. ISE talked about both Pokémon Monday and WTPT on various episodes but never mentioned P.U.C.L directly. P.U.C.L. then called out Black on episode 90 during reading their fan mail. After that point, it was mentioned on ISE that Black stated it was "funny" that P.U.C.L. thought they "won" at being the #1 Pokémon podcast because ISE, in only a couple of months, passed both these establish shows in popularity and listeners. ISE not only broke into the top 100 most downloaded video game podcasts, in iTunes, when the other show did not, but ISE sits with over 10x as many Facebook fans and 5000+ Twitter fans. Since then not much has been said between theses shows. Bouncing Wailord, on the other hand, has never said anything bad about ISE or the staff of the show. In fact, most of the ISE cast has appeared on their episodes.

====Live episodes====
''It's Super Effective'' has featured various live shows since it debuted. The first live show took place on {{wp|BlogTalkRadio}} for episode 25 and lasted almost three hours. Users called in during the show to talk with Black and Aaron Spriggs. A chat was also active during the recording where fans could ask questions and participate. The second live show was episode 35. This episode was a panel at the {{wp|Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo}} where Black and crew talked in front of a room of over fifty people. Another BlogTalkRadio show was done for episode 52 and featured Black and Kidd Starck. To celebrate ''ISE''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s second anniversary, episode 84 featured Black talking about the past success of the website and podcast. The last live show to take place was episode 87. While no one was allowed to call in, listeners instead listened to commentary from Black and another friend named Vinnie as they watched [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]] through BlogTalkRadio.

====Episode 100====
The one hundredth episode of ''It's Super Effective'' debuted on New Year's Eve 2012. The episode was five hours long and featured ten interviews with almost all of the main cast members, each interview lasting anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes. Music and over twenty fans' voicemails were featured in between the interviews to tie the show together. A couple throwback segments from older shows were included. After episode 100 was published, the show took two weeks off.

==Reception==
''It's Super Effective'' is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on {{wp|iTunes}} and {{wp|Zune}}. "It's Super Effective" was pulled from iTunes after having to move their servers in July 2012. Once the server move was complete, "It's Super Effective" peaked at the #2 "Top Podcasts" in the "Video Game Podcasts" in the iTunes Store. On the Zune Marketplace, the podcast peaked at #55 on the service's "most subscribed podcasts" list and #48 on its "most subscribed audio podcasts" list.<ref name="Zune">As shown in "Marketplace → Podcast" section of Zune software on October 23, 2012. Software is required to view list.</ref> It became the leading Pokémon podcast after The Pallet Tribune's ''[[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]'' ended production in 2010, the same year that ''ISE'' debuted. It won the third, fourth, and fifth annual {{wp|Shorty Awards}} (2011 - 2013) in the community-created category of "The Best Podcast in Social Media"<ref name="ShortyPodcast">"[http://shortyawards.com/category/podcast The Best Podcast in Social Media]". Shorty Awards.</ref> with 50, 145, and 67 votes, respectively. For the 2013 Shorty Awards, host Steve Black Jr. (under his Twitter handle [https://twitter.com/draggingalake @draggingalake]) placed second in the category of #podcaster with 747 votes as of March 1, 2013.

''It's Super Effective'' sits with 284 user reviews in the iTunes Store putting it at a solid five stars.

Since debuting on {{wp|Stitcher Radio}} in April 2012, the show has had a total listening time of over 220,000 minutes alone from listeners using the service.<ref>[https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/13382_521845694533756_1865127046_n.jpg Screencap of podcast's Stitcher page]</ref>

==Competition==
"It's Super Effective" debuted at the end of the P.U.C.L. and WTPT - Pokémon Radio rivalry. ISE talked about both Pokémon Monday and WTPT on various episodes but never mentioned P.U.C.L directly. P.U.C.L. then called out Black on episode 90 during reading their fan mail. After that point, it was mentioned on ISE that Black stated it was "funny" that P.U.C.L. thought they "won" at being the #1 Pokémon podcast because ISE, in only a couple of months, passed both these establish shows in popularity and listeners. ISE not only broke into the top 100 most downloaded video game podcasts, in iTunes, when the other show did not, but ISE sits with over 10x as many Facebook fans and 5000+ Twitter fans. Since then not much has been said between theses shows. Bouncing Wailord, on the other hand, has never said anything bad about ISE or the staff of the show. In fact, most of the ISE cast has appeared on their episodes.

====Live episodes====
''It's Super Effective'' has featured various live shows since it debuted. The first live show took place on {{wp|BlogTalkRadio}} for episode 25 and lasted almost three hours. Users called in during the show to talk with Black and Aaron Spriggs. A chat was also active during the recording where fans could ask questions and participate. The second live show was episode 35. This episode was a panel at the {{wp|Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo}} where Black and crew talked in front of a room of over fifty people. Another BlogTalkRadio show was done for episode 52 and featured Black and Kidd Starck. To celebrate ''ISE''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s second anniversary, episode 84 featured Black talking about the past success of the website and podcast. The last live show to take place was episode 87. While no one was allowed to call in, listeners instead listened to commentary from Black and another friend named Vinnie as they watched [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]] through BlogTalkRadio.

====Episode 100====
The one hundredth episode of ''It's Super Effective'' debuted on New Year's Eve 2012. The episode was five hours long and featured ten interviews with almost all of the main cast members, each interview lasting anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes. Music and over twenty fans' voicemails were featured in between the interviews to tie the show together. A couple throwback segments from older shows were included. After episode 100 was published, the show took two weeks off.

==Reception==
''It's Super Effective'' is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on {{wp|iTunes}} and {{wp|Zune}}. "It's Super Effective" was pulled from iTunes after having to move their servers in July 2012. Once the server move was complete, "It's Super Effective" peaked at the #2 "Top Podcasts" in the "Video Game Podcasts" in the iTunes Store. On the Zune Marketplace, the podcast peaked at #55 on the service's "most subscribed podcasts" list and #48 on its "most subscribed audio podcasts" list.<ref name="Zune">As shown in "Marketplace → Podcast" section of Zune software on October 23, 2012.

Talk:It's Super Effective (podcast)

2013-04-19T04:16:50Z

Committhistomemory: /* Changes to the article */ fixed my own spelling error

Talk:It's Super Effective (podcast)

2013-04-19T04:14:57Z

Committhistomemory: /* Changes to the article */

Someone placed a banner disputing the neutrality of this article, calling for discussion on that subject here on the talk page. No one has done that yet, so I thought I would start. I understand the worry, as this has been edited by those who are affiliated with the subject matter (myself included,) but I would hesitate to say it is too far from neutral. However, obviously my opinion is a bit biased. Thoughts on what (if anything) needs changing? I apologize if this isn't protocol for talk pages. I'm new to them.

[[User:Traf12|Traf12]] 17:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree, the content on the podcast's bulbapedia page is factualy. Perhaps in the first section that mentions the podcast as "having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's WTPT - Pokémon Radio" may seem bias. Maybe this needs to be cited for credibility which will eliminate any percieved bias

[[User:Sprucey|Sprucey]] ([[User talk:Sprucey|talk]]) 04:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Taking the top spot would probably refer to the amount of reviews in iTunes. While WTPT has 159 reviews (with a 4.5 star rating), ISE has 244 reviews (with a 5 star rating). WTPT also has 250+ fans on Facebook, while ISE has over 1400 fans. Finally WTPT has 400 followers on Twitter, while ISE has over 2000. I think those are all good cites for creditability.

Finally - I disagree with how the awards are hidden. Those can be cited and various other podcasts did compete to win both times. If an artist won a grammy or an oscar, those would be featured on their said Wikipeida. It would be the same here. The "Shorty" awards is a hosted and sponsored event, therefor that sound stand.

[[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 06:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Who can we talk to about what needs to be done on behalf of ISE or Bulbapedia to resolve this?
[[User:GrimmDark|GrimmDark]] ([[User talk:GrimmDark|talk]])

== Changes to the article ==

Okay, I took a look at the article and made some changes. The main problems were that it did read a little like an advertisement, and also felt like an infodump, with lots and lots of lists that were all but meaningless without context. So here's what I've done:

*A new "Reception" section to deal with the accolades the podcast has achieved. This means that the blurb concerning its popularity is no longer right at the top, which makes the article feel less than an ad, and I've also restored the paragraph about awards, and put it here. Obviously if the podcast attracted any negative attention or controversy, this would also be the place for it.
*The various lists of co-hosts have been placed with the staff, and made into sentences so that they don't stretch the page so much.
*The website stuff has been hidden until the many items on the list can be elaborated upon. At the moment it's not really doing anything other than taking up space: these list items are meaningless without descriptions.
*Some stuff has been reordered. The show's features really should be the first information presented. These could also do with some expansion.

I considered getting rid of the in-jokes and the table of episode titles, but these can stay for now. However, there needs to be more actual information about the show and its content to counterbalance this. At the moment the in-jokes section is twice as long as the features section. This really shouldn't be the case.

As it stands, I think the article is reasonably neutral and I've removed the POV tag. I hope this satisfies all concerned. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] ([[User talk:Bikini Miltank|talk]]) 17:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

:Besides a few minor formatting issues, which I'll fix, this is a much more reasonable version of the article. Many thanks to you, Bikini. [[User:BulbaPediaAid|BulbaPedia]][[User talk:BulbaPediaAid|Aid]] 01:06, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

:: I think stating that a giveaway was done to promote and get iTunes reviews is unnecessary and bias. Websites do this all the time to promote traffic and to reward fans. The statement in this article has a negative tone and adds nothing to the real content. It doesn't actually acknowledge the winner of the giveaway, which would put a more neutral spin on it. ISE has had multiple giveaways, and none of those are mentioned as well. On top of that, ISE is consistently in the top 50 of the most video game podcasts, it sits next to shows like the Instance, Internet Box, Retronauts and more. You see very few of those shows with under 100 reviews, which says something about the fan base, and really disregards the fact that that contest forced popularity. [[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 04:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Content Removal ==

BulbapediaAid, I recognize your reasoning in deleting some of the sections in this article. They were nearing adspeak and I understand that. However, I think it's a bit ridiculous to be deleting entire sections outright without so much as a mention on the discussion page. Please discuss these sorts of things before going commando.

[[User:Traf12|Traf12]] ([[User talk:Traf12|talk]]) 17:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
:It would be better to post this message on the BulbapediaAid's talk page since it only deals with an issue specific to the user. Just something to keep account of in the future. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

== New Content ==

Adding content. To BulbapeidaAid and others. I've been adding content to this page being an avid fan and trying to build this page up. While I'm not a Bulbapeida expert by any means, or a Wikipedia expert - I'm just doing the best I can to fill in the blanks and building this page. WTPT is a good page to reference because in their couple years, their page is HUGE. I think ISE has gone above and beyond not only WTPT but most Pokémon sites by winning awards, donating $1000 to Child's Play, and even having the webmaster of Bulbapedia on in honestly a short amount of time. It seems like a lot of the content removal is basis and preventing this page from growing. Also, looking at Steve's Twitter (@dragginglake) it looks like he did indeed win the Shorty Award for Best #Podcaster.

The '''''Pokémon Underground Champions League''''', also known as '''''P.U.C.L.''''' (pronounced ''PUCK-uhl''), is a Pokémon-centric {{wp|podcast}} and fan site hosted and run by Thaddeus "Tadj" Asel, better known as "Trainer Thatch". The podcast debuted on New Year's Eve 2007, barely beginning in the same year as another Pokémon podcast, ''[[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]''. The podcast is known for its wacky humor, and is the successor to a short-lived podcast that debuted in March of that same year called ''PokéChat''.

==Podcast==
The '''''Pokémon Underground Champions League''''' podcast or '''''P.U.C.L. Podcast''''' is known for its bizarre and eccentric humor, which includes fake commercials and interviews, a prolonged announcer intro, various cracks made towards Pokémon, their listeners and community members (who they call "PUCLonians"), and the hosts themselves; and several other recurring gags.

It is also known for its many recurring co-hosts who joins host "Thatch" in many of his show's episodes, its longevity (more than four years as of their ninetieth episode on February 12, 2012), and its supposed rivalry with the late yet more popular ''WTPT''. Also, it is one of the few Pokémon-centric podcasts that is {{wp|profanity|explicit}}.

Despite its longevity, the podcast is considered subpar compared to other Pokémon podcasts by both Pokémon fans (outside of the show's dedicated listeners) and even host "Thatch" himself.<ref>"Thatch" [Thaddeus Asel]. "[http://www.puclpodcast.com/happy-birthday-p-u-c-l/ Happy Birthday P.U.C.L.!]" December 31, 2010. Retrieved December 17, 2011.</ref>

===History===
Before ''P.U.C.L.'', Asel originally created a podcast called ''PokéChat'' that debuted in March 2007. The podcast ended after only a few episodes due to Asel's then-inexperience with podcasting and his dissatisfaction with the show's format.

Asel stated in an e-mail to a Bulbapedia user, "''P.U.C.L.'' was never actually intended to be a podcast."<ref name="email1">"Thatch" [Thaddeus Asel]. Message to "[[User:BulbaPediaAid|BulbaPediaAid]]". March 5, 2012. E-mail.</ref> When {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} were released, he had several friends playing the games in his high school during fall of the same year. He and his friends decided to try set up various Pokémon tournaments together and, jokingly, wanted to make a club out of it. They spent a couple days trying to come up with an acronym that made a "word", coming up with "Pokémon Underground Champions" or "P.U.C." (pronounced "puck") and using it for a couple of weeks. They then added "League" to the end, making the acronym "P.U.C.L." Asel treats the name as nonsensical and hopes no one takes it as serious.<ref name="email1" />

He returned to podcasting after hearing ''WTPT'' and noticing that "there really were no other options for a good[,] regularly updating [P]okémon podcast." One day after he and a friend returned home from school, they came up the pseudonyms "Cool Trainer Thatch" and "Professor Sycamore" and recorded a podcast. They posted the first episode of the ''P.U.C.L. Podcast'' two weeks later, and "Thatch" has been doing new episodes of the podcast ever since.<ref name="email1" />

====Supposed rivalry with ''WTPT - Pokémon Radio''====
''P.U.C.L.'' and its listener base had scuffles with the more successful ''WTPT - Pokémon Radio'' that lasted until the latter podcast's end in 2010. The "rivalry" with the other podcast began when ''P.U.C.L.'' made fun of ''WTPT''.<ref name="email1" /><ref name="quote1">"Thatch" to "BulbaPediaAid": "We said a lot of stupid things we shouldn't have. [...] After [the tournaments] we kind of forgave each other and decided it [was] best not to mention other [P]okémon podcasts just as ''WTPT'' did."</ref> Eventually in the summer of 2008, Justin V. of The Pallet Tribune, then called The Pokémon Times, asked ''P.U.C.L.'' to stop ridiculing them. A flame war ignited between the two podcasts' listeners, with their bases mocking the other podcast in e-mails to their favorite podcast and writing negative podcast reviews about the other on iTunes. It reached its peak when the two Pokémon fan communities held the first of two separate tournaments to see which community was better at the Pokémon games, with ''WTPT''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s group winning both by a significant margin. After the tournaments, the two podcasts somewhat forgave each other and decided it would be best if they did not mention other [[:Category:Podcasts|Pokémon podcasts]] on their shows, and would later have a coexistence with each other.<ref name="email1" /><ref name="quote1" /> (This "rule" was broken for the first time on episode 90 when an e-mail mentioning other Pokémon podcasts was read.)

Upon the announcement of ''WTPT''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s end, ''P.U.C.L.''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s fans boasted on an unofficial Facebook fan page that they've won the "rivalry" by default, which was mocked by the host of [[It's Super Effective (podcast)|another Pokémon-focused podcast]] on Twitter and the nineteenth episode of that podcast. (At that time the then-new podcast, which debuted during the same year that ''WTPT'' ended, had already surpassed ''P.U.C.L.'' in popularity within their first few months.) Asel has since shut down the fan page and started an official Facebook page for ''P.U.C.L.''<ref name="email1" />

====100th Episode Celebration====
For ''P.U.C.L''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s one-hundredth episode on July 14, 2012, Thatch hosted a 12-hour long livestream in which he cleaned a friend's house and recorded the one-hundredth episode live. Members of the P.U.C.L. community that watched the livestream earned a special badge to show that they were there. Many members from the P.U.C.L. community watched the livestream in celebration of P.U.C.L.'s milestone.

With the publishing of episode 100, ''P.U.C.L.'' became the first Pokémon audio podcast to produce and release 100 episodes.

===Segments===
As aforementioned, the podcast has made up many segments and running gags throughout its run. These include:
*'''Intro''' - The introduction to the show is normally goes in the following order:
**'''{{wp|Cold open|Teaser}}''' - The podcast begins with either a humorous phrase spoken by one of the hosts or a scene skit that the hosts set up as a joke. One of the podcast's most notable teases came on episode 89 when an exhausted Sarge came in and explained to listeners that the reason why they have not made a new episode since episode 88 was supposedly because he and Thatch went on a very inexpensive vacation to {{wp|Mexico}} that went horribly wrong which supposedly ends up with Thatch dying at the U.S.-Mexico border, only for Thatch to come in yelling that the story was a lie and that he's just lazy.
**'''"Theme song" of the episode''' - A random song is played as the theme tune for the episode, with mostly various non-Pokémon-related {{wp|rock (genre)|rock}} and {{wp|popular music|pop}} music played at the beginning. Pokémon-related songs have been played before, including official songs such as the original [[Pokémon Theme]] for the English dub and parodies of popular songs such as "{{wp|Party Rock Anthem}}" by {{wp|LMFAO (group)|LMFAO}}; some in their entirety. Occasionally, the intro song would just be sung by the podcast's hosts.
**'''Announcer''' - After the intro song of the episode is played, a campy announcer (usually Thatch using an echo effect) gives an introduction to the show in a humorously prolonged and ever-changing tone. The phrase as it currently is usually starts by saying a location in the Pokémon world where the podcast is supposedly being recorded, then goes to its slogan, "It's the one, the only, ''{{tt|PUCL|Spelled without periods for pronunciation-based reasons.}} Podcast''!"
*'''News''' - After the introduction, ''P.U.C.L.'' starts with a typical Pokémon news segment, with the hosts recapping recent Pokémon-related events. Currently, this segment starts and ends with a low-quality playing of "{{wp|The Mission (theme music)|The Mission}}", a piece originally composed by {{wp|John Williams}} for {{wp|NBC News|NBC's news programs}}.
*'''Main topic''' - The typical topic of the episode segment, which provides the titles for the podcast's episodes and is discussed by the hosts.
*'''Interviews''' - Mock interviews have been a part of the ''P.U.C.L. Podcast'' since the second episode, when the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] from [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]] was the first "interviewee" as the episode focused on [[breeding]]. These interviews happened early on in the podcast's run, but have been become less common later on, only being done on occasion when the hosts feel like it. The interviews tend to have over-exaggerated versions of various characters.
*'''Commercials''' - ''P.U.C.L.'' always has a commercial break filled with fake commercials during each episode, normally after the topic of the episode. The commercials start after one of the hosts says, "We will catch you on the flip-flop!" Some of the more notable "commercials" include:
*'''"[[Pokémon (species)|Poke]]" of the Episode''' - As with any other Pokémon podcast, ''P.U.C.L'' has a segment focusing on a Pokémon of the hosts' choosing. Often introduced as the listeners' least favorite part of the podcast, the hosts look at their chosen Pokémon's [[Bulbapedia]] article and often read off the Pokémon's stats and "Trivia" section from there.
*'''Mailbag''' - As typical of any Pokémon-centric podcast, e-mails and feedback are sent to ''P.U.C.L.'' and are read on the air as part of the "Mailbag" segment. Also like other Pokémon podcasts, ''P.U.C.L.'' asks a "Mailbag Question" that is answered in most e-mails for the next episode. Currently, the mailbag is introduced as the listeners' most favorite part of the podcast and starts with a low-quality playing of "Mailtime" from the Nickelodeon children's show ''{{wp|Blue's Clues}}'' before Thatch and his co-hosts read the e-mails. Starting with episode 97, after they've read all the e-mails for the episode, the hosts award an "Email Badge" to an e-mailer who they think wrote the best e-mail of the episode based on grammar and content. The badge is added to the user's P.U.C.L. profile, provided that they have a profile on the website.
*'''Outro/"{{wp|Closing Time (Semisonic song)|Closing Time}}"''' - The podcast ends with Thatch giving a new "Mailbag Question" for the next episode and mentioning the e-mail address for listeners to send their feedback. After a bit of chatter, Thatch usually says, "Until next time on the ''PUCL Podcast'', I'm Trainer Thatch," then after the co-host(s) mention their names, Thatch continues, "And here at [the ''PUCL Podcast'' or a location in the [[Pokémon world]] where the podcast has supposedly been recorded], it's closing time." Normally, during or after these final lines, the song "Closing Time" by alternative rock band {{wp|Semisonic}} plays (with the first verse usually coming in right after Thatch says "it's closing time") until it fades out after the first chorus.

==Reception==

==Website==
{{sectionstub}}
The website is also called the '''Pokémon Underground Champions League''', but is actually located at and called on the podcast, '''PUCLPodcast.com'''. The site has been redesigned several times; the most recent site renovation, called P.U.C.L. 5.0, was completed on June 20, 2012.

===Badges===
"Badges" were introduced in P.U.C.L. 5.0 along with improved user profiles for users. Similar to {{wp|Achievement (video gaming)|video game achievements}}, they are awarded to users to do P.U.C.L.-related things, such as following the podcast and website on social networking sites, writing a P.U.C.L. Podcast review on iTunes, and winning P.U.C.L. League tournaments. Some badges require users to send an e-mail to P.U.C.L. stating that they've completed the task required to earn the particular badge, while others are given out for certain one-time-only events, such as the "PUCL 100 Badge" for watching the 100th Episode Celebrations live. Badges also have points attached to them, similar to {{wp|Xbox Live}} Gamerscores; the top ten users with the most badge points are shown on a leaderboard on the website's sidebar.

===Chat===
The website has a chat room that is powered by xat.com.

===''P.U.C.L. Block''===

== It's Super Effective ==

Please use the preview button. The four of you didn't need to make that many edits and flood the Recent Changes, especially as it's pretty clear you're communicating off-site. Also, people involved with the development/creation of the subject of an article should really only be correcting factual errors, rather than adding whole sets of new info. The reason for this is two fold. Firstly, because it can become advertising. I know you're trying to avoid that, but it can happen. The second reason is that it is difficult to maintain a neutral point of view about something you are involved in. Human nature creates bias, which can easily come across in the content unnoticed by the writer. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Sorry - New to this.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:42, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

== Editing other user's posts ==

It is against the {{bp|Talk page policy}} to edit other user's talk page comments, even if there is a misspelling. Even though "BulbapediaAid" was misspelled, it was not linked or anything, so it was no harm. Please remember this in the future. Thanks. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 02:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I apologize, wasn't trying to harm! Thank you for that feedback. [[User:Committhistomemory|Committhistomemory]] ([[User talk:Committhistomemory|talk]]) 03:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:It's Super Effective (podcast)

2013-04-18T21:34:04Z

Committhistomemory: New Content - Biased

Someone placed a banner disputing the neutrality of this article, calling for discussion on that subject here on the talk page. No one has done that yet, so I thought I would start. I understand the worry, as this has been edited by those who are affiliated with the subject matter (myself included,) but I would hesitate to say it is too far from neutral. However, obviously my opinion is a bit biased. Thoughts on what (if anything) needs changing? I apologize if this isn't protocol for talk pages. I'm new to them.

I agree, the content on the podcast's bulbapedia page is factualy. Perhaps in the first section that mentions the podcast as "having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's WTPT - Pokémon Radio" may seem bias. Maybe this needs to be cited for credibility which will eliminate any percieved bias

[[User:Sprucey|Sprucey]] ([[User talk:Sprucey|talk]]) 04:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Taking the top spot would probably refer to the amount of reviews in iTunes. While WTPT has 159 reviews (with a 4.5 star rating), ISE has 244 reviews (with a 5 star rating). WTPT also has 250+ fans on Facebook, while ISE has over 1400 fans. Finally WTPT has 400 followers on Twitter, while ISE has over 2000. I think those are all good cites for creditability.

Finally - I disagree with how the awards are hidden. Those can be cited and various other podcasts did compete to win both times. If an artist won a grammy or an oscar, those would be featured on their said Wikipeida. It would be the same here. The "Shorty" awards is a hosted and sponsored event, therefor that sound stand.

Who can we talk to about what needs to be done on behalf of ISE or Bulbapedia to resolve this?
[[User:GrimmDark|GrimmDark]] ([[User talk:GrimmDark|talk]])

== Changes to the article ==

Okay, I took a look at the article and made some changes. The main problems were that it did read a little like an advertisement, and also felt like an infodump, with lots and lots of lists that were all but meaningless without context. So here's what I've done:

*A new "Reception" section to deal with the accolades the podcast has achieved. This means that the blurb concerning its popularity is no longer right at the top, which makes the article feel less than an ad, and I've also restored the paragraph about awards, and put it here. Obviously if the podcast attracted any negative attention or controversy, this would also be the place for it.
*The various lists of co-hosts have been placed with the staff, and made into sentences so that they don't stretch the page so much.
*The website stuff has been hidden until the many items on the list can be elaborated upon. At the moment it's not really doing anything other than taking up space: these list items are meaningless without descriptions.
*Some stuff has been reordered. The show's features really should be the first information presented. These could also do with some expansion.

I considered getting rid of the in-jokes and the table of episode titles, but these can stay for now. However, there needs to be more actual information about the show and its content to counterbalance this. At the moment the in-jokes section is twice as long as the features section. This really shouldn't be the case.

As it stands, I think the article is reasonably neutral and I've removed the POV tag. I hope this satisfies all concerned. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] ([[User talk:Bikini Miltank|talk]]) 17:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

:Besides a few minor formatting issues, which I'll fix, this is a much more reasonable version of the article. Many thanks to you, Bikini. [[User:BulbaPediaAid|BulbaPedia]][[User talk:BulbaPediaAid|Aid]] 01:06, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

== Content Removal ==

BulbapediaAid, I recognize your reasoning in deleting some of the sections in this article. They were nearing adspeak and I understand that. However, I think it's a bit ridiculous to be deleting entire sections outright without so much as a mention on the discussion page. Please discuss these sorts of things before going commando.

[[User:Traf12|Traf12]] ([[User talk:Traf12|talk]]) 17:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
:It would be better to post this message on the BulbapediaAid's talk page since it only deals with an issue specific to the user. Just something to keep account of in the future. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

== New Content ==

Adding content. To BulbapeidaAid and others. I've been adding content to this page being an avid fan and trying to build this page up. While I'm not a Bulbapeida expert by any means, or a Wikipedia expert - I'm just doing the best I can to fill in the blanks and building this page. WTPT is a good page to reference because in their couple years, their page is HUGE. I think ISE has gone above and beyond not only WTPT but most Pokémon sites by winning awards, donating $1000 to Child's Play, and even having the webmaster of Bulbapedia on in honestly a short amount of time. It seems like a lot of the content removal is basis and preventing this page from growing. Also, looking at Steve's Twitter (@dragginglake) it looks like he did indeed win the Shorty Award for Best #Podcaster.

'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-centric {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''.

===Segments===
*'''Introduction''' - Steve usually begins with "What's up, everybody?" and introduces the cast members.
*'''News''' - The hosts discuss recent events in the Pokémon community.
*'''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' - Steve and occasionally another cast member grill another cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two [[Type]]s, [[Pokémon]], or [[Item]]s.
*'''Featured Team''' - Steve and the cast give comments and constructive criticism on a listener's submitted team of Pokémon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in ''{{wp|Nintendo Power}}'' magazines he read in his childhood.
*'''Pokémon of the Week''' - Steve and the cast usually end the show with talking about one Pokémon in particular. This sometimes relates to the weekly articles on the website. The chat ranges between facts of the Pokémon, movesets recommendations, and sometimes debates on whether or not the shiny form is cool.

'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-centric {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''.

{{search|podcast|the in-game concept|Damage modification#Super effective|Damage modification}} ''For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-centric {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''. ''It's Super Effective'' began on July 26, 2010, two days after the launch of the website, which began as [http://www.pokemonpodcast.com PokémonPodcast.com].

==Podcast==
===Segments===
*'''Introduction''' - Steve usually begins with "What's up, everybody?" and introduces the cast members.
*'''News''' - The hosts discuss recent events in the Pokémon community.
*'''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' - Steve and occasionally another cast member grill another cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two [[Type]]s, [[Pokémon]], or [[Item]]s.
*'''Featured Team''' - Steve and the cast give comments and constructive criticism on a listener's submitted team of Pokémon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in ''{{wp|Nintendo Power}}'' magazines he read in his childhood.
*'''Pokémon of the Week''' - SBJ and crew usually end the show with talking about one Pokémon in particular. This sometimes relates to the weekly articles on the website. The chat ranges between facts of the Pokémon to recommend move-sets and sometimes to debates if the shiny form is cool or not.

'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-centric {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''. ''It's Super Effective'' began on July 26, 2010, two days after the launch of the website, which began as [http://www.pokemonpodcast.com PokémonPodcast.com].

It is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on {{wp|iTunes}} and {{wp|Zune}}, having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's ''[[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]''.

====Segments====
*'''Introduction''' - Steve usually begins with "what's up everybody" and introduces the cast members.
*'''News''' - The hosts discuss recent events in the Pokémon community.
*'''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' - Steve and occasionally another cast member grill another cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two [[Type]]s, [[Pokémon]], or [[Item]]s.
*'''Featured Team''' - Steve and the cast give comments and constructive criticism on a listener's submitted team of Pokémon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in {{wp|Nintendo Power}} magazines he read in his childhood.

====Inside jokes and running gags====
*'''{{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}} Guy''' - A hypothetical listener of the show who despises Steve's acceptance of Quick Claw as a viable competitive [[held item]].
*'''"In the face, in the face, in the face!"''' - A reference to an episode in which Steve suddenly started the show by repeating the last three words Travis had said during the pre-show chatter.
*'''New New Mexico''' - A newly founded sovereign kingdom on the Moon, over which Saul is the king.
*'''The {{p|Pichu}}/{{p|Cleffa}} Dilemma''' - A thought experiment performed by Steve at the end of each Extremespeed segment in which the guest is presented with the question "Pichu or Cleffa?". The guest will always choose Pichu.
*'''Kenny and {{p|Bayleef}}''' - Kenny has an obsession with {{p|Chikorita|Chikorita's}} first evolution.
*'''Nobody likes {{p|Vanilluxe}} but Travis''' - No one likes the Snowstorm Pokémon except for Travis.
*'''{{p|Mewtwo}} Herder''' - Travis states, "I been herdin' mah Mewtwo 'bout as long as the sun's been shinin'."
*'''{{m|Sand-Attack}}''' - Just as it is early in the games, Sand-Attack was a point of hatred (especially for ex-co-host Catie) early in ''ISE''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s history.
*'''[[Master Ball]] captured {{p|Golduck}}''' - Steve used his first Master Ball on a Golduck.
*'''Nobody knows/likes {{p|Huntail}}''' - The podcast's hosts view Huntail as a forgotten and under-loved member of the Pokémon fandom.

'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-centric {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''.

{{search|podcast|the in-game concept|Damage modification#Super effective|Damage modification}} ''For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
'''''It's Super Effective''''' is a [[Pokémon]]-focused {{wp|podcast}} hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of '''PKMNcast.com'''. ''It's Super Effective'' began on July 26, 2010, two days after the launch of the website, which began as [http://www.pokemonpodcast.com PokémonPodcast.com]. The show begins with a discussion of Pokémon news and then segues into either a special topic or a "Featured Team," a user-submitted Pokémon team to which the hosts give advice, compliments, and criticism.

It is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on {{wp|iTunes}} and {{wp|Zune}}, having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's ''[[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]''.

====Segments====
*Introduction, in which Steve usually begins with "what's up everybody" and introduces the cast members.
*News, in which the hosts discuss recent events in the Pokemon community.
*Extremespeed, in which Steve and occasionally another cast member grill one cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two [[Types]], [[Pokemon]], or [[Items]].

April Fools' Day 2011

Committhistomemory: PKMNcast April Fools Jokes

'''April 1, 2011''' was an {{wp|April Fools' Day}} that fell on a Friday. In the Pokémon fandom, many websites pulled hoaxes on gullible fans.
==Hoaxes==
===Fan sites===
====Bulbagarden====
[[File:FushigipediaSS.png|200px|thumb|right|Bulbapedia as "Fushigipedia"]]
*Bulbapedia temporarily rechristened itself as '''Fushigipedia''', "the Pocket Monster encyclopedia", complete with [[Generation I|First Generation]] colors, references, and imagery of Pokémon throughout the site. The featured article was {{appendix|Game Boy}}, rewritten for 1998. To coincide with the Bulbasaur theme of Bulbapedia, the romanization derivation is taken from Bulbasaur's name, ''Fushigidane''.
*Bulbanews temporarily undertook the name of '''Fushiginews''' updating articles "Every 13 years". Covering the Front page were [[n:Category:1998|articles from 1998]] including an article about a rumored [[SS Anne#Rumors|Truck]] on the Vermilion City port.
*Bulbagarden forums were redesigned to become '''Retrogarden''', with the forum taking on a look and theme of 1998 as though the announcement of Pokémon coming to the United States had just recently taken place.
*Bulbagarden Archives was given an aesthetic makeover and renamed '''Fushigi-Archives''' to match the themes of both Fushigipedia and Fushiginews.
====Other fan sites====
[[File:PokeCommunityAF2011SerebiiForumsComparison.png|thumb|right|Pokécommunity vs. Serebii]]
*[[PKMN.NET]] reported on a new Pokémon Trading Card video game for the Nintendo 3DS titled "Pokémon Trading Card Revolution". <ref>[http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=856 TCG Game Sequel Finally Announced For 3DS]</ref>
*[[The PokéMasters]] changed the themes of its main site and forums to "{{ga|Blue|Gary Oak Masters}}" theme, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both. The forums also implemented a celebration of Gary Oak with every thread mentioning "Gary was Here" and the Rival music from [[Generation I]] being played. Additionally, the site's announced the remake of Pokémon Snap 3DS with the Source linking to Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video.
[[File:PsypokeAprilFoolsBWbanner.jpg|thumb|right|One of Psypoke's fake banner ads found on the site during April Fool's Day]]
*[[Psypoke]] was redesigned with an advertising campaign with the theme of Rebecca Black Version and Betty White Version. Advertisements were placed on the main site and forums with respective banners including Betty White Version [[RageCandyBar]], Rebecca Black [[Xtransceiver]] and [[Week Siblings|Frieda of Friday]] parodies, the latter being a reference to Black's song "Friday."
*[http://veekun.com veekun] appeared as a mirror image, flipping back to normal when the cursor was over the page. 
*Similar to previous years, [[PokéCommunity]] parodied [[Serebii.net|Serebii]] Forums and locked the skin as the same {{p|Celebi}} green.
*PokéCharms was redesigned as Smug World Order (SWO) with a {{p|Snivy|Smugleaf}} theming. The site announced its allegiance and dedication by handing over the site to "Lord Smugleaf". <ref>[http://www.pokecharms.com/2011/04/welcome-to-the-smug-world-order/ Welcome to the Smug World Order]</ref>
[[File:Pokemon Database April Fools 2011.png|thumb|right|Pokemon Database as "Stunfisk Database"]]
*[[Smogon]] pretended to accidentally have deleted their whole Wi-Fi forum.
*[http://pokemondb.net/ Pokémon Database] redesigned as the "Stunfisk Database", with Stunfisk taking the place of Scyther and Electivire in the header as well being tiled on the background.
*[http://pokemon.marriland.com Pokémon.Marriland.com] became "Scraggiland" for the day, complete with a new orange theme with {{p|Scraggy}} colors and Scraggy and {{p|Scrafty}} imagery. In addition, the site also introduced new themes based on {{p|Woobat}}, {{p|Vanillite}}, {{p|Stunfisk}} and {{p|Karrablast}}, with each theme also renaming the site after their respective Pokémon, although Marriland's new Scraggy avatar remained unchanged regardless of what theme was chosen.
* [[Pokébeach]] started a forum discussion called "Secret Soup". The banner of the forums had been distorted to slightly reveal a message. As the message was difficult to read, there was much confusion as to what was happening. The title of the thread was changed several times, including "Secret Soon" and "Secret Spam". Mods posted several comments about clues and such, and most of the forum got riled up with excitement and confusion. It was eventually revealed at the end of the night that it was all a prank.
*[http://www.pokemonpodcast.com PKMNcast] whole site became distorted with images and signs of {{p|MissingNo}}. Even the banner had an image of MissingNo as well as other parts of the website was missing and the colors were different.

===Other===
[[wp:North by Northwestern|North by Northwestern]], a daily online newsmagazine at Northwestern University, was transformed into Meowth by Meowthwestern, with bogus Pokémon-themed campus news stories available in Blue and Red versions. <ref>[http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/pokemon-blue/ Blue][http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/pokemon-red/ Red]</ref>
