    We're on summer break this week (plus my brother just got married) so no new episode today. But, next week we're talking again about evolution so we thought this would be a good opportunity to do a quick refresher on the "theory" of evolution. This was our second ever episode and a lot has changed since we first recorded this. I did a little bit of editing to make the episode sound better, but there's only so much I could do. So, if things sound a bit weird or different, that's why. We were still very nervous and I knew less about audio editing than I do now (if you can imagine that). We hope you enjoy this really old episode and if you have any questions about evolution, be sure to let us know on social media! New Pokemon YouTube Channel!
