Before a run or between PBR seasons, the channel will stream playthroughs of various games, many of which are from franchises not linked to Pokémon. Early games visited by the channel included Catz, Mario Party, Doom, and Worms. It was speculated that these games were introduced as a field test of new inputting systems before new runs began; however, they are now a regular part of the channel's lineup. Turn-based RPGs and visual novels are favored during these intermissions due to their similar gameplay to mainline Pokémon games, while action oriented games like Breath of the Wild are considered "unplayable". | Before a run or between PBR seasons, the channel will stream playthroughs of various games, many of which are from franchises not linked to Pokémon.

Intermissions usually occur prior to a run and tend to be played on the same system as the upcoming run's game. For example, Dragon Quest XI S was played prior to the stream's [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond]] run, as both are Nintendo Switch games. Similarly, a variety of Wii U games were played prior to the stream's playthrough of [[Pokkén Tournament]]. If a game is not completed during an intermission, or a substantial amount of content remains to be done even after beating the game's final boss, the game may be revisited at a later time. While it is common for intermissions to feature games not connected to Pokémon, they may at times feature short Pokémon ROM hacks (particularly during or after Holiday themed PBR seasons), or official games that have not been played to completion or 100% (such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] or [[New Pokémon Snap]]). The stream may also broadcast AI controlled matches of Mario Party games, which users can bet on using Twitch Channel Points | Intermissions usually occur prior to a run and tend to be played on the same system as the upcoming run's game.
