Ep.57 – Gotta Catch Em All!

We look back at Pokemon Red and Blue, released to North American audiences on September 28, 1998. We talk at length about Pokemon creator, Satoshi Tajiri, and how an early childhood obsession with bug collecting inspired him to create the largest media franchise in the entire world. As part of our discussion on Gameplay, Rob and Dave discuss why they love, or don't love the Pokemon series. Finally, we converse about crowdsourced gaming, which started with Twitch Plays Pokemon, in which over 1 million people played Pokemon Red at once. Join us for a destiny achieving trip down Memory Card Lane.
