Regional Variants: A Pokémon Podcast

Are you going to "0-2 Drop"? (Special guests ft. Mark and Chris)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2242022/fan_mail/new] Hello Regional Variants fans! I hope you are all excited for today's episode! We have a special collaboration between the Regional Variants and the 0-2 Drop. This was a fun episode to record, and we hope you all enjoy listening through it. Some disclaimers (Chris-Claimers), there are a few sensitive topics and suggestive topics that are briefly discussed. So fair warning to all of our listeners. And towards the end of the episode it becomes a bit tougher to record since it was late into the night for us. We hope you enjoy!
