Ranking and Reviewing Pokémon Never Causes Controversy - LD#2


Listen Later

(*PLEASE READ*): We've had some technical difficulties these first two weeks. We're hard at work to sort everything out before next week but for now please excuse the drop in mic quality towards the end of this episode.

It's all Pokémon all day this week on Loosely Defined. We cover the release and our *SPOILER FILLED* review of Pokémon Sword and Shield and then we take on the momentous task of ranking all eight Pokémon generations.
