Published: Aug. 26, 2020, 5:08 a.m.

b'There isn\'t a franchise in gaming that I\'m more nervous to talk about the show than Pokemon. The fanbase is rabidly loyal and knowledgeable, and I just know I\'m gonna say something stupid.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThat said, let\'s talk Pokemon! Pokemon Emerald, specifically. This bad boy won our Patreon poll last month, I know how many of you love this franchise, and I was pretty excited to play a Pokemon game I haven\'t played before. I have to say, this is a pretty divisive title online, and after playing it, I understand why. There was some stuff I loved, and some stuff I fucking hated.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nI went out and got my buddy Miklos for this episode, a certified Pokemon junkie, and he picks up the slack this time around. He doesn\'t dislike the extras nearly as much as I do, and it actually made for a pretty tolerable podcast.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nAnd before we get into monsters of pockets, we talk about a bunch of stuff, including what I\'ve been playing, are modern retro consoles "cheating"?, and which Nintendo characters would I use for a beat \'em up game?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIf you want to skip to something, here\'s where to go:\\n\\xa0\\n2:22 - 9:30: What\'s happening behind the scenes at \'Remember The Game?\'\\n\\xa0\\n9:30 - 24:29: \'Blowing In The Cartridge\' (Listener comments & questions, and Letter Time!)\\n\\xa0\\n24:30 - 33:55 \'Play One. Remake One. Erase One.\' - Super Mario 64, GoldenEye 007, Ocarina of Time\\n\\xa0\\n33:56 - 36:05: What have I been playing?\\n\\xa0\\n36:05 - 37:56: Listeners Pokemon Emerald\\xa0Memories\\n\\xa0\\n37:57+: Pokemon Emerald\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nEnjoy the podcast!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
