- FireRed and LeafGreen Breakdown - All The Best Nostalgic Reasons To Play The Switch 2 Ports
In today’s episode, Ezra and Chelsea dive into their early play of FireRed (because neither got LeafGreen….and we say early because Brock has not yet let either of us past Pewter City). They talk about all of the amazing things this game has to offer, including amazing childhood nostalgia, remembering how to love the grind, and enjoying the beauty of the sprites.

37 min - Bipedal Horrors in Pokémon
In today’s episode, Ezra and Chelsea dive into the world of Pokémon that just give us the ick, particularly bipedal Pokémon who should just not be bipedal. They talk about the pros and the cons (mostly the cons) of super-humanoid Pokémon, Pokémon that appear to be wearing clothes or doing human jobs (for reasons unknown to all), and all others that fit the “that makes me uncomfortable” category. They also share their, perhaps, controversial favorite bipedal Pokémon! Share with us your favorite and least favorite Pokémon in a review or on socials!
