Today we're telling the origin story of the very first Pokemon Day back in 2016. It's incredible that over the last nine years this has grown so much into what we now expect and know as Pokemon Day and of course all the news in Pokemon Presents. It was fun to look back to see how this important day for Pokemon actually came to be and how connected to Nintendo it was in its first few years. Also in this episode, we're playing SO many games that we're excited to tell you about including Monster Hunter Wilds and Avowed. Throughout the episode, we're also sharing some incredible memories from our community about their first encounters with Pokemon. So get comfy and let's get into it! 0:00 - Happy Pokemon Day! 10:23 - The origin story of the first Pokemon Day 57:06 - Games we're playing (Monster Hunter Wilds, Avowed, Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Inkulinati, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdree, Omega 6) 1:39:36 - News News News (our reaction to the end of the My Nintendo gold points) 1:59:31 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Patreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kudlass, Fortygig, Travis Torline, EchoLadair, That’sSoOLANELL Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social -Kit & Krysta
