Sometimes, it's okay to give into nostalgia. Let the bitcrunched trumpets and adorable sprites take you back to your childhood, away to a world full of potential, one full of exciting people and wonder and amazing critters who you can love and travel with and villains who want to kill everyone but are still easily defeatable by fourteen year olds.

In this ep, we speculate what happened to pokemon. Honestly, I'm not sure anything happened to it - I think that instead, something happened to us. I think we grew up, and the world grew up with us. There's no point wondering what's out beyond that horizon - we have maps, and wikis, and know there are exactly 1,025 pokemon but only 653 are in Pokemon Violet if you have all the DLCs. I don't think there's room for the antics of team rocket or team magma. I think we're all just out here, looking for a chance to feel the same way we did when we took our first steps out into that tall grass, not knowing what we were going to find.

It's a lot to expect for a little game, but maybe, this one is enough for us.

In this episode: I'M GOING TO WIN THE MOON THATS RIGHT OBAMA MY POKEMON IS SO CUTE I WON THE MOOOON, we are not pokemon experts, why does no one care what a temtem is, feather spends like ten minutes explaining pokemon contests, current lineups, catching raltz live, i heard u lik mudkipz, feeling old.
