Behind every Pokémon story is someone who dared to rewrite the game, not just for themselves, but for others. 

We chat with CaminoPreacher59, the creator who designed a custom Pokémon ROM hack that gave Harry the Handicapped Hitmonchan, featured in a past episode, the chance to adventure as a Trainer in a wheelchair. What began as a simple request became a heartfelt project, reminding us how games can bring joy, representation, and dignity to fans everywhere. Along the way, CaminoPreacher59 shares his own Pokémon story, from growing up with the classics to shaping alternate perspectives through his hacks, proving how nostalgia and creativity can spark meaningful change.

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the love of storytelling, or the inspiration of fans making a difference, this episode will stay with you.

Listen now and discover how one fan’s creativity turned limitation into empowerment.

🎧 Listen to heartfelt stories of inclusion, resilience, and connection.
