Fire Red and Leaf Green releasing on Switch 2 has snowballed out of control into a full on Pokémon obsession. The boys talk about playing through the games for the first time in over a decade and what our love for Pokémon has turned into.

We also review Pokémon Pokopia, chat about card collecting in 2026, Champions, GO, and everything else under the pocket monster sun. 

But this episode is really about something else.

Ryder has never played Pokémon.

No nostalgia. No Gen 1 roster burned into memory. Nothing.

So James and Vincent walk him through the world from zero and see what actually sticks. And of course, Ryder has to make a call most of us made without thinking as kids. Which Gen 1 starter is your pick.
