Happy 25th anniversary to the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver in North America!
To mark the occasion, I wanted to share this amazing pixel art of Red Gyarados and me from the incredibly talented @coryrupert.bsky.social.
It's the opening slide for all my Pokémon talks!

Delighted to have given a Pokémon talk at MVC Comic-Con this weekend! While there, I was asked, “why give a talk on Pokémon?” From discussions of strategy, collecting, ethics, and preservation, Pokémon allows us to ask important questions on video games through the biggest franchise in pop culture.

In honour of Pokemon Red/Blue's North American release anniversary later this month, I decided to take a nostalgia-fueled journey through the classics!
