Who’s that Pokemon?!

Scott had a good time preparing this test for Simeon… but what goes around will come around eventually!

It’s what made commercial breaks in the Pokemon anime bearable! We turn it up a notch and put Simeon to the test – can he, a Gen Oner, name several obscure newer Pokemon?

Debate: Best Nintendo Franchise of All Time pt. 2

This is the first time a Two Button Crew show has gone on for so long that we had to split it into two episodes. I enjoyed finding a good widway point and creating a custom transition for it. I actually think the pixelated look is pretty neat!
