The 3rd pillar is officially 20 years old now! That's hard for me to stomach personally. I still feel like the system can't be that old but here we are. Joining me not to talk about feeling old but to celebrate all things Nintendo DS is author Aidan Moher and podcaster Bill Barber of the Gaming & Collecting Podcast. We had a wonderful conversation talking about the history of the console, it's legacy overall and also how much we wish game devs would try new ideas out like they did on the DS. Come celebrate 20 years of the DS with us!

It has been a long time coming for this episode. I can't believe in almost 9 years I have NEVER done a Pokemon episode. Well that has finally changed. I am joined by Bill from the Gaming & Collecting Podcast and Mono from Tokyo Game Life to break down the first generation of Pokemon games. A little bit of history, a little bit of nostalgia and everything in between, we spent nearly 2 hours talking Pokemon.
