The Dex! Podcast

**The Dex! Podcast**, also known as **The Dex Cast**, is a weekly Pokémon-centric podcast hosted by Alex, Jimmy, and PokéKellz. It focuses on Pokémon based current events and opinions. It does cover other topics on occasion however. Its segments include the Intro, The News, Top 5 or The Discussment, and the Fanswers segment.

## Segments

### The Intro

The intro is the first segment in The Dex! Podcast. It's usually kicked off with, "Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the (podcast number) ever episode of The Dex! Podcast. I'm Alex," "I'm Jimmy," "And I'm PokeKellz." Sometimes when there is an unlikely guest or a host absent there will be one one more or less participant in the intro. Alex then asks the other Hosts how their Pokémon-Life has been. After the other hosts are finished talking Alex may make a segue to The News, or just say the title without one.

### The News

The Hosts then talk about News involving Pokémon or just general/Nintendo Gaming. Events like Pokémon giveaways, Pokémon tournaments, upcoming Pokémon games, Pokémon anime events, Nintendo Directs, new Nintendo consoles, Smogon, etc. It seems that to keep track of the news the hosts read off podcast notes written by PokeKellz, which are sometimes humorous according to Alex. This segment is usually considered to have the least solid kicking off by Alex. Pokekellz and Jimmy always judge the segue.

###  The Top 5

The segment mainly focuses on the Hosts opinions on various Pokémon subjects, though sometimes it involves other things such as general Game Freak. It is considered to have the most solid kicking off by Alex. Every list is started by a "Runner-up" which serves not only to remove the obvious choice for the list, but also to show what they mean by the topic.

### Fanswers

The Fanswers involve the Hosts asking the viewers a question, and the Hosts reading emails and answering the fan's questions. Its a running joke of everyone apologizing for having long emails, and Alex reassuring that the email isn't long. When the emails are long however, he doesn't read them. Some people spin off of that, such as "Sorry for the wide email," "Sorry for the perfectly lengthed email," etc.
