    Making Sense of the Outrage Over Pokemon Legends Z-A's Graphics Mar 04, 2025
    Show notes Hi, over the last few days we've seen some frustration and outrage over the graphics of Pokemon Legends Z-A since it was shown off in the Pokemon presents as part of Pokemon Day. Let's dig into here and talk about why this keeps happening with Pokemon games and whether it even matters. This isn't this week's big Kit & Krysta Podcast which is still coming Thursday, but wanted to share our thoughts on this topic with you here and now.

    Hello and welcome to episode 159 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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!

    Hello and welcome to episode 156 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're sharing a really special story about our time with Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi - the two masterminds behind Nintendo Switch and the developers who are likely now working on Nintendo Switch 2! We had the great opportunity to spend two weeks with both of them on a cross country tour when Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it was amazing to get to know them and truly absorb from the geniuses themselves the philosophy and inspiration behind Nintendo Switch. We haven't seen or heard from the developers in awhile but we think they'll make an appearance for Switch 2 and we can't wait to see them again. Also in this episode, we play a fun game of "guess the developer" and we have a massive "games we're playing" segment. We're playing seven games right now! We also talk about the latest Nintendo sales information and what is going on with the trading feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket in our news section. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is.

    Hello and welcome to episode 154 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're going to talk about the questions Nintendo really doesn't want you to ask about Switch 2 right now. This is something that happens with every new product and a term that the one and only Reggie Fils-Aime used to use is "soft underbelly" which means these are the areas where you might be vulnerable. So what are these questions and how might Nintendo answer them? Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Would You Rather - Switch 2 edition and we are playing the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and share how we're liking the game. We wrap it all up with the news and some great questions from our Patreon community. Tons of stuff coming right up!
