The boys bring their best surprised Pikachu face impressions to this week's Variety Box installment! With Alex & Trev being avid Pokémon fans, they gush over the newly announced Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl games, faithful remakes of the 4th generation of Pokémon games. That conversation spills into stories about being obsessed with trading cards in both the Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! fandoms (who didn't want a Duel Disk to summon a Blue Eyes White Dragon?!). They discuss growing up on the cusp of the Internet explosion at the turn of the millennium and whether or not they belong to the Millennial or Zoomer generations. 9/11 and people being born after the tragedy is talked about briefly as well as TSA before and after and how some rules are written in blood. They finish up the episode with talks of ancient technologies they used growing up (looking at you, Sony CD player with the Spider-Man 2 official soundtrack inside) as well as mourning the modern tragedy that is Teen Titans Go! Will American cartoons ever catch up to the greatness of Japan's anime craze? Find out this time on the Unboxing Life Podcast!
