!!Contains examples of:
* AdaptationalWimp: The canon Yveltal can syphon the life energy from all living creatures. This Yveltal admits that he left out the part about how he can only do so within a ten-foot radius.
* AnalogyBackfire: Bulbasaur calls out Sir Pikachu for treating Squirtle like dirt, only for Squirtle to remind Bulbasaur that Ground is super-effective against Electric. Bulbasaur settles for "crap" instead.
* ArtShift: For episode 24, the characters are CG rendered and fully animated, as opposed to still images of plushies. [[MediumAwareness They naturally freak out, not used to real movement.]]
* BerserkButton: Solgaleo ''hates'' bags, traumatized from being forced into one by Lillie as Cosmog.
* BlatantLies: Sir Pikachu declares himself the most powerful Electric type Pokémon, only for the hosts to point out others such as Zapdos, Zekrom, and Luxray.
* BrokenPedestal: When Ash's Pikachu, or "Sir" Pikachu, guest stars, Squirtle starts off gushing with delight. It goes away in less than a minute after Pikachu repeatedly insults and dismisses him, until finally Squirtle has enough and Mega Evolves to beat up Pikachu after the latter insults Bulbasaur.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Squirtle tends to black out whenever he drinks even a little, much to Bulbasaur's annoyance. [[JustifiedTrope He is four inches tall, after all]].
* CloudCuckooLander: Umbreon has a very loose grip on reality, often spouting nonsense and claiming that the "floor tentacles" are trying to drown him.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Squirtle ''attempts'' this, but Bulbasaur doesn't fall for it.
--> '''Bulbasaur''': "You've always talked like, '[[PokemonSpeak Squirtle, Squirtle]]'."\\
'''Squirtle''': "No, I haven't!"\\
'''Bulbasaur''': "Yes, you have."\\

'''Bulbasaur''': "Okay, good! You admit it."\\
'''Squirtle''': "Blast, I thought that'd work!"
* GeniusDitz: Squirtle shows surprising insight on occasion, often surprising Bulbasaur, such as when they both wind up back in prehistoric time and he figures out much more quickly than Bulbasaur. He temporarily gets upgraded to a DitzyGenius thanks to Shadow Lugia's presence outside of the Orre region causing a RealityBreakingParadox, able to quickly construct a device that can purify Shadow Lugia, but it wears off the instant they correct the paradox.
* InsistentTerminology: Ash's Pikachu demands to be referred to as ''Sir'' Pikachu, both to inflate his ego and to distinguish himself from other Pikachus
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
** Yveltal insists that his name is "YAH-vul-tal".
** After nobody can agree on how to pronounce Arceus' name, including ''Arceus himself'', they all agree to just make up a new pronunciation and call him "Ar-coos".
* InterspeciesRomance:
** Bulbasaur and Lucario begin dating in episode 15, and though the latter hasn't appeared on the show since, Bulbasaur has it clear that they're still together years later.
** Squirtle's mother is, obviously, a Blastoise, but his father is revealed to be a Marill when they both appear in episode 47.
** Squirtle used to date a Nidoqueen as revealed in episode 55, but broke it off three years prior.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The Pikachu of ''Let's Go, Pikachu!'' is so full of himself that, not only is the very idea that a second game (''Let's Go, Eevee!'') released alongside his own a completely alien concept to him, he wasn't even aware Eevee ''existed'' despite them both debuting in Generation 1, with Eevee in particular being the second most popular Pokémon ever behind himself, ''and'' Eevee being the rival's starter in ''Pokémon Yellow''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Sir Pikachu[[spoiler:, later Raichu,]] is extremely condescending of everyone he meets, and is very spiteful of the hosts for daring to talk back to him.
* NoFourthWall: Even disregarding the fact that it's a talk show where they regularly address the camera, the characters frequently acknowledge the fact that they're just plushies. Bulbasaur fails miserably at trying to maintain the wall.
* OnceASeason: There are several of these:
** At least once a season, Pokemon Talk switches studios, leaving Squirtle to scream: "What the f*** happened to the floor?!"
** With the exception of Season 3, Raichu has appeared at least once per season, usually to get revenge on Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
** Every season has an Eeveelution episode, usually resulting in a new member joining the Eeveelution brothers.
* RetCon: Squirtle's "Mega Evolution", which is just him getting bigger, was a frequent gag throughout the show introduced back in episode 2, with other characters acknowledging that Mega Evolution doesn't work that way. Then ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduced Dynamaxing [[HilariousInHindsight five years later]][[invoked]], prompting the hosts to reveal that Squirtle, and other "Mega Evolutions" on the show, were actually the precursors to Dynamaxing the entire time. Squirtle in particular [[MyRulesAreNotYourRules can Dynamax whenever he wants for as long as he wants without having to be in a battle]]. Piplup theorizes that Squirtle has access to an early Alpha version of Dynamax that was {{nerf}}ed for other Pokémon, but Squirtle responds that the game devs don't affect them, and rather the show just doesn't make sense.
* RunningGag:
** The amount of times Bulbasaur has been able to finish the intro ''without'' getting interrupted can be counted on one hand.
*** And every time they successfully finish the intro, Raichu appears to get revenge.
** Squirtle exclaiming "What the f*** happened to the floor?!" whenever they change studios.
** Whenever a new Eeveelution appears for an interview, expect Jolteon to show up and try to recruit them into the "Eeveelution Brothers".
* SamusIsAGirl: Bulbasaur and Squirtle are rather surprised that the Lucario that the Lucario they interview in episode 15 is a girl, mainly because they've never had a girl on the show before. (Not so much out of sexism but rather [[NoFourthWall because they've been limited with the vocal talents of the actors]].)
* SeenItAll: After meeting other supposedly all-powerful harbingers of death and destruction such as Darkrai and Yveltal, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are thoroughly unimpressed by Dark Lugia's boasts, telling him to his face that they won't take him seriously unless he proves himself a legitimate threat.
* SirSwearsALot: Squirtle may be one of the nicest characters on the show, but he's also by far the most foul-mouthed, casually dropping the F-bomb on several occasions.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Squirtle puts on a pair when he gets a temporary intelligence boost from Shadow Lugia's RealityBreakingParadox.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Bulbasaur frequently has to put up with Squirtle's shenanigans, as well as whatever guest they're interviewing at the moment. He even uses the exact phrase in the second episode.
* TimeDilation: Solgaleo's yawn accidentally opens an Ultra Wormhole that sucks Bulbasaur away. Roughly a minute later, Bulbasaur returns, saying he had to watch a Buzzwole flex for two hours. Solgaleo admits that time wildly fluctuates in the wormholes. He blames [[TimeMaster Dialga]] for this.
* VocalEvolution: Squirtle's voice is considerably higher in later seasons than it was in the beginning. [[LampshadeHanging Bulbasaur has pointed this out more than once]].
* WhamEpisode:
** "Finale" is a surprising shift from the series' more episodic structure, offering several major shifts to the status quo. [[spoiler: After Sir Pikachu had bought the rights to Pokemon Talk and cancelled the show, Squirtle and Bulbasaur rally up all of their past guests to confront Sir Pikachu and ask for the rights back.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAF4vERAnCkNhdM1Wf_CvW8xBFuS3Q9hB Pokémon Talk]]'' is a comedy series by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MandJTV Michael Groth]] starring ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' plushies. The pilot episode aired on April 15, 2012, but the series didn't properly pick up until episode 2 on July 6, 2014, after which it began a consistent schedule of one episode a month, barring the occasional break between seasons.
Bulbasaur and Squirtle are the hosts of ''Pokémon Talk'', a talk show where they discuss the Pokémon world. They frequently interview other Pokémon, asking about their lifestyles and how they feel about their representation in the games. [[HilarityEnsues Things typically get out of hand fast]]. They also discuss upcoming/recenty released games in the franchise, sharing their thoughts and often asking guests for their input.
The seriesis currently on indefinite hiatus as a result of Michael feeling burnout from writing. Time will tell then it returns.

!!Contains examples of:
* AdaptationalWimp: The canon Yveltal can syphon the life energy from all living creatures. This Yveltal admits that he left out the part about how he can only do so within a ten-foot radius.
* AnalogyBackfire: Bulbasaur calls out Sir Pikachu for treating Squirtle like dirt, only for Squirtle to remind Bulbasaur that Ground is super-effective against Electric. Bulbasaur settles for "crap" instead.
* ArtShift: For episode 24, the characters are CG rendered and fully animated, as opposed to still images of plushies. [[MediumAwareness They naturally freak out, not used to real movement.]]
* BerserkButton: Solgaleo ''hates'' bags, traumatized from being forced into one by Lillie as Cosmog.
* BlatantLies: Sir Pikachu declares himself the most powerful Electric type Pokémon, only for the hosts to point out others such as Zapdos, Zekrom, and Luxray.
* BrokenPedestal: When Ash's Pikachu, or "Sir" Pikachu, guest stars, Squirtle starts off gushing with delight. It goes away in less than a minute after Pikachu repeatedly insults and dismisses him, until finally Squirtle has enough and Mega Evolves to beat up Pikachu after the latter insults Bulbasaur.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Squirtle tends to black out whenever he drinks even a little, much to Bulbasaur's annoyance. [[JustifiedTrope He is four inches tall, after all]].
* CloudCuckooLander: Umbreon has a very loose grip on reality, often spouting nonsense and claiming that the "floor tentacles" are trying to drown him.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Squirtle ''attempts'' this, but Bulbasaur doesn't fall for it.
--> '''Bulbasaur''': "You've always talked like, '[[PokemonSpeak Squirtle, Squirtle]]'."\\
'''Squirtle''': "No, I haven't!"\\
'''Bulbasaur''': "Yes, you have."\\
'''Squirtle''': "No, I haven't!"\\
'''Bulbasaur''': "Yes, you have."\\
'''Squirtle''': "Yes, I have!"\\
'''Bulbasaur''': "Okay, good! You admit it."\\
'''Squirtle''': "Blast, I thought that'd work!"
* GeniusDitz: Squirtle shows surprising insight on occasion, often surprising Bulbasaur, such as when they both wind up back in prehistoric time and he figures out much more quickly than Bulbasaur. He temporarily gets upgraded to a DitzyGenius thanks to Shadow Lugia's presence outside of the Orre region causing a RealityBreakingParadox, able to quickly construct a device that can purify Shadow Lugia, but it wears off the instant they correct the paradox.
* InsistentTerminology: Ash's Pikachu demands to be referred to as ''Sir'' Pikachu, both to inflate his ego and to distinguish himself from other Pikachus
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
** Yveltal insists that his name is "YAH-vul-tal".
** After nobody can agree on how to pronounce Arceus' name, including ''Arceus himself'', they all agree to just make up a new pronunciation and call him "Ar-coos".
* InterspeciesRomance:
** Bulbasaur and Lucario begin dating in episode 15, and though the latter hasn't appeared on the show since, Bulbasaur has it clear that they're still together years later.
** Squirtle's mother is, obviously, a Blastoise, but his father is revealed to be a Marill when they both appear in episode 47.
** Squirtle used to date a Nidoqueen as revealed in episode 55, but broke it off three years prior.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The Pikachu of ''Let's Go, Pikachu!'' is so full of himself that, not only is the very idea that a second game (''Let's Go, Eevee!'') released alongside his own a completely alien concept to him, he wasn't even aware Eevee ''existed'' despite them both debuting in Generation 1, with Eevee in particular being the second most popular Pokémon ever behind himself, ''and'' Eevee being the rival's starter in ''Pokémon Yellow''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Sir Pikachu[[spoiler:, later Raichu,]] is extremely condescending of everyone he meets, and is very spiteful of the hosts for daring to talk back to him.
* NoFourthWall: Even disregarding the fact that it's a talk show where they regularly address the camera, the characters frequently acknowledge the fact that they're just plushies. Bulbasaur fails miserably at trying to maintain the wall.
* OnceASeason: There are several of these:
** At least once a season, Pokemon Talk switches studios, leaving Squirtle to scream: "What the f*** happened to the floor?!"
** With the exception of Season 3, Raichu has appeared at least once per season, usually to get revenge on Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
** Every season has an Eeveelution episode, usually resulting in a new member joining the Eeveelution brothers.
* RetCon: Squirtle's "Mega Evolution", which is just him getting bigger, was a frequent gag throughout the show introduced back in episode 2, with other characters acknowledging that Mega Evolution doesn't work that way. Then ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduced Dynamaxing [[HilariousInHindsight five years later]][[invoked]], prompting the hosts to reveal that Squirtle, and other "Mega Evolutions" on the show, were actually the precursors to Dynamaxing the entire time. Squirtle in particular [[MyRulesAreNotYourRules can Dynamax whenever he wants for as long as he wants without having to be in a battle]]. Piplup theorizes that Squirtle has access to an early Alpha version of Dynamax that was {{nerf}}ed for other Pokémon, but Squirtle responds that the game devs don't affect them, and rather the show just doesn't make sense.
* RunningGag:
** The amount of times Bulbasaur has been able to finish the intro ''without'' getting interrupted can be counted on one hand.
*** And every time they successfully finish the intro, Raichu appears to get revenge.
** Squirtle exclaiming "What the f*** happened to the floor?!" whenever they change studios.
** Whenever a new Eeveelution appears for an interview, expect Jolteon to show up and try to recruit them into the "Eeveelution Brothers".
* SamusIsAGirl: Bulbasaur and Squirtle are rather surprised that the Lucario that the Lucario they interview in episode 15 is a girl, mainly because they've never had a girl on the show before. (Not so much out of sexism but rather [[NoFourthWall because they've been limited with the vocal talents of the actors]].)
* SeenItAll: After meeting other supposedly all-powerful harbingers of death and destruction such as Darkrai and Yveltal, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are thoroughly unimpressed by Dark Lugia's boasts, telling him to his face that they won't take him seriously unless he proves himself a legitimate threat.
* SirSwearsALot: Squirtle may be one of the nicest characters on the show, but he's also by far the most foul-mouthed, casually dropping the F-bomb on several occasions.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Squirtle puts on a pair when he gets a temporary intelligence boost from Shadow Lugia's RealityBreakingParadox.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Bulbasaur frequently has to put up with Squirtle's shenanigans, as well as whatever guest they're interviewing at the moment. He even uses the exact phrase in the second episode.
* TimeDilation: Solgaleo's yawn accidentally opens an Ultra Wormhole that sucks Bulbasaur away. Roughly a minute later, Bulbasaur returns, saying he had to watch a Buzzwole flex for two hours. Solgaleo admits that time wildly fluctuates in the wormholes. He blames [[TimeMaster Dialga]] for this.
* VocalEvolution: Squirtle's voice is considerably higher in later seasons than it was in the beginning. [[LampshadeHanging Bulbasaur has pointed this out more than once]].
* WhamEpisode:
** "Finale" is a surprising shift from the series' more episodic structure, offering several major shifts to the status quo. [[spoiler: After Sir Pikachu had bought the rights to Pokemon Talk and cancelled the show, Squirtle and Bulbasaur rally up all of their past guests to confront Sir Pikachu and ask for the rights back. Squirtle gets the idea of evolving Sir Pikachu into Raichu so that the rights aren't in his name anymore, and it's revealed that he got the Thunder Stone necessary to accomplish from Mew, who made a surprising appearance. Sir Pikachu is replaced with a much nicer varient, who gives Squirtle and Bulbasaur the creative rights to Pokemon Talk rather than the producers, which means that they're responsible for how the show progresses...]]
** "Mega Duel": [[spoiler: Bulbasaur finally learns to mega evolve and uses his power to defeat Raichu once and for all. Raichu claims that he's doing trying to get revenge on Pokemon Talk. However, Bulbasaur soon learns that he can only mega evolve when he's incredibly stressed...]]
* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: Bulbasaur actually manages to convince Squirtle to accept the newer generations, but briefly lets out an exasperated "Come on!" before realising what Squirtle said.
