| 6/24/26 |  Sidequest: Pokémon | This episode we take a partial traditional approach, covering the history of Pokémon and the minds behind the biggest media franchise of all time. But Pokémon's too huge a topic to stay tidy, so we also go on a side quest into the weirder stuff — like a million strangers controlling one Game Boy on Twitch, and Pokémon GO's surprising ties to military surveillance.Sources:History of Pokemon - BulbapediaA Brief History of Pokemon Being Left Out of Games - Video Game Story TimeSpeedrun World Records Pokemon Red/BlueThe Complete History of Twitch Plays Pokemon - Schwam Games70 YEARS OLD GRANDPA USES 45 PHONES TO PLAY POKEMON GO - POKÉMON GOWe welcome you to get in touch with us!Visit us on: GamingHistory.ClubFacebookInstagramTheme tune created by Tom Docherty | — | ||||||

| 9/24/25 |  Silent Hill History: Our Special Place | What began as a strange little experiment in the late ’90s quickly became one of survival horror’s great pioneers.
