This month we are talking with FoiledFeline about Pokemon! In our first half we get into our experience with the franchise, how Nintendo consoles are invincible bricks, a hilarious Fire Red bootleg, how ubiquitous Pokemon was in the late 90's, our favorite starters for Gens 1-5, how the "Pokemon Power" guy ruined my childhood, staying informed while managing mental health, baby chickens, having an adventure vs min/maxing, Foiled's incredibly heartwarming and incredibly gay family, my concern that "Oof" is causing me to sidestep emotional labor, the embarrassing origins of our internet usernames, how revisiting Kanto in Gen2 skewed expectations for each successive generation, Nintendo's branding problems, Foiled's scumbag Serperior tactics, how Gen1 is a busted mess (but it's my mess), all while coping with intermittent internet issues.
