As The Pokéball Turns began with a simple belief: the stories behind our Pokémon journeys deserve to be heard.
Through conversations, shared memories, and community experiences, we celebrate the people who make the Pokémon world meaningful.
Meet the Host: David Hernandez
I've always believed Pokémon is about more than just games. It's about the people, connections, and experiences that shape our lives.
I started As The Pokéball Turns after noticing that many of the community leaders working behind the scenes to bring Pokémon fans together rarely had a platform to share their own stories. These were the people creating events, building communities, and making memorable experiences possible for others.
Over time, my mission evolved. What began as a platform to recognize community leaders grew into something bigger: a place where everyday Trainers could share their experiences, memories, and personal journeys with Pokémon.
Today, through As The Pokéball Turns, I continue to preserve these stories, strengthen community connections, and create spaces where every Pokémon fan feels seen, heard, and welcomed.
A Community Beyond The Podcast
As The Pokéball Turns is about more than the conversations we have on the podcast. It's about the connections we make along the way.
Whether it's meeting fellow Trainers at events, sharing Pokémon memories, or bringing people together through community projects, I want to create experiences that remind us why Pokémon means so much to us.
Wherever you are in your Pokémon adventure, there's a place for you.
