As it turns out, catching monsters and trading them with your friends is still as much fun as it was when Pokemon Red and Blue launched in 1996.

This week on Nintendo Pow Block, ⁠⁠Edward Varnell⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠ break down the latest Pokémon Presents presentation, celebrating 30 years of catching, trading, battling, watching, and collecting Game Freak’s iconic pocket monsters.

They dive into the newly announced Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves games, reveal their thoughts on the new starter Pokémon, and cover updates to other ongoing games in the franchise. They also discuss the surprise reveal of a Game Boy chiptune music player featuring 45 different Pokémon-themed cartridges, along with the arrival of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

Beyond Pokémon, the conversation expands to the backlash surrounding the Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade, how Square-Enix is handling the Switch 2 version of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, Digital Foundry’s technical assessment of Resident Evil Requiem on the hardware, Pokémon Pokopia, and more.

As always, they wrap things up by answering listener questions—covering topics like a potential 2026 Zelda release, jumping into a long-running franchise you’ve never played before, possible release windows, the next Nintendo Direct, and more.
