Pokémon Anime Review – EP017: “Island of the Giant Pokémon” | Poké-Rollercoaster
In this episode of the Pika Pals Podcast, I revisit Pokémon: Island of the Giant Pokémon. After washing ashore on a mysterious island, Ash and the gang discover their Pokémon have gone missing — but that’s not the only surprise. This surreal detour takes a wild turn when we hear the Pokémon talk (yes, really), and Team Rocket finds themselves in a runaway minecart chase straight out of a fever dream. Meanwhile, Pikachu and the others try to make sense of giant robotic Pokémon stalking the island. Is it a theme park? A simulation? Or just the weirdest vacation spot in Kanto? Either way, it’s one unforgettable episode — packed with action, oddities, and a rare glimpse into the Pokémon’s point of view.
⚡ Whether you’re a 90s kid reliving Indigo League memories or a new fan exploring the Kanto region for the first time, this nostalgic anime rewatch is full of fun, fan theories, and friendship. 🎧 New episodes weekly! Follow and be part of the Pika Pals family!
