José Mendoza is what you might call a Pokémon superfan. By day, he works in marketing in the entertainment industry. But his passion - since he was a kid - has always been Pokémon.

In this chat, we talk about all the ways to experience Pokémon; how Pokémon takes you on a journey in more ways than one; the best Pokémon of them all; nostalgia; the joys and sometimes literal dangers of watching Pokémon; what on earth happened to his guest bedroom; and so much more.
