There are other people at TPAMS that help the show run as smoothly as it does. This is the page where will will recognize them for their hard work and all that good stuff.

Lightning is Thunder's twin brother and owner of the network TPAMS is aired on (The Lightning Channel). Lightning is the Raichu that can do anything and everything from brain surgery to rapping. He sometime comes onto the show to help out, but does a majority of his work behind the scenes. He's the TPAMS representative on the TLC executive board (they approve all the specials and such), is a secratary and book keeper for TPAMS, and he sometimes helps with the booking of guests.

Lightning is at least as popular with the fans as his twin brother. People love it when he co-hosts and adds his delightful opinions to the show or uses strange phrases that make no sense Like "Piloswine word." What the hell is that? (Lightning: I was trying to inconspicuously name off Johto Pokémon during the secong Johto special). What ever. Excuses, excuses.

Outside work, Lightning is your average Raichu- If an average Raichu goes to night clubs and parties every night...

He is Mew's personal gopher. They hired him during his interview (he was on Escaflowne, but that show got cancelled. Being the kind, caring Pokémon they are, they gave him a job). He works every day wheather he wants to or not. Mew keeps him extremely busy, but he's really cool about it. He takes orders from Mew (she won't let anyone else give him any orders. She's very posessive over him) and always manages to complete them in a timely manner. It's a wonder that he can keep up so well with all the work Mew gives him. To ensure that everything gets done, Thunder hired Daisy to help out around the studio. That way, Van doesn't have to work as hard and he'll still get all his work done on time.

But Van is more than Mew's gopher. He's also one of the more popular cast members on the show. Even though you don't see much of him, he has all kinds of fan clubs and such dedicated to him. It's actually kind of creepy. There are people out there that believe he should get to host the show. Not that Van wouldn't be a lovely talk show host....

Van doesn't get much free time since his job requires him to work almost 14 hours a day (Van: You have that all wrong. I work at least 14 hours a day. AT LEAST.) Sorry. Gosh. It's not my job to calculate your hours. When Van isn't working or sleeping (his 30 to 35 minutes of free time a day), he plays video games or sits and does nothing just for the sake of doing nothing (Van: It's nice to do nothing after working for 14 or more hours straight.).

There's not much to say about him. He's the TPAMS swear word bleeper and secratary. With out him, TPAMS wouldn't be able to make the claim that they are "Family friendly programming". Way to go Tracey!

Tracey isn't as popular as Lightning or Van, but people like him any way. Like parents. Parents know their kids like TPAMS, but they also know that TPAMS has some guests that occasionally use less than approiate language, so parents love Tracey for censoring those bad words so their children can watch TPAMS and be happy. Look at that. Tracey helps keep families together! I told you he was a great guy!

When Tracey is working, he likes togo out to the Viridian forest a draw Pokémon. He may not be a serious Pokémon watcher like he used to be, but he goes out when he can.

Daisy (Misty's nice, older sister) is Thunder's assistant/gopher. Thunder was forced to hire Daisy when Mew decided that sharing Van was out of the question. The poor guy has more than enough to do without Thunder barking orders at him, so Thunder found Daisy. When Daisy finishes whatever work Thunder has for her, she goes to her second job at TPAMS which is helping Van do what ever he's supposed to be doing (Thunder: Hey! That's like giving Mew 2 gophers! Mew: Get past it! I can have as many gophers as I want!).
