    Nate Discusses Pokemon Adventures Vol 1-3.

    Nate! Nate the Great! It's the hap-hap-happiest time of the year! The time where everyone collectively tunes in to listen to one man discuss topics way too in-depth and another man slowly dies inside! It's Nate's Nightmare November! This week we have a softball where we discuss the strange world of Pokemon but with more violence and murder than the standard anime episode. Nate also uses some clips from Pokemon 'bridged and hopes they're okay with that. We're on the countdown toward Mr. Beast's Most Dangerous Gamesses!
