Matt "Shyguycity" Murray of Bit Harmony fame (ever heard of this guy?) joins me this time as we look back at 25 years of Pokémon Gold & Silver through a lens of friendship, nostalgia and criticism. Turns out, we both had a lot to say. Plus - thoughts on Dragon Quest III HD-2D, Nintendo's nominations at The Game Awards 2024... and a whole lot more!
