NEP 062: The Pokemon Direct DLC Toxicity Spectacular!

We're back in the saddle with the first regular episode of 2020! This week on NEP, we're covering the big Pokemon Sword and Shield Direct, the negative response, and trying to make sense of something when we don't really have a dog in the fight. We also accidentally talk about Star Trek and Star Wars a bit, too? Why? Oni Dino probably has the worst take you've ever heard involving Pokémon and Star Wars. But also the "Great Oni Dino x Galen Argument of 2020" has already begun with the incendiary question: is Pokémon now a games-as-a-service game? We're on opposite sides of the ring, ready to duke it out. If you're enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It's incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
