What's up, everybody?

Welcome to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Wednesday, March 25th, 2026.

I'm one of your host, Greg Miller, alongside Forbes 30 under 30, AKA New York.A. New York Game Awards nominated. A.K.A. Jacket, Poppy. Blessing. Eddie O. Ye. Jr. Good day, Greg. Good day to you. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you doing? I am excellent. I want you to know. Excellent. Oh, yeah. Wow. I'm just here. Tim's here. Tim's here. Formerly Forbes under 30 or 30. Now just Samir's father at Tim Getty's. Yes. We got Tim here and he's in a great shirt. But more importantly, I haven't told you yet that yesterday we previewed Tomodachi life. I made you in the game. They knew that. But at one point, me who will remain redacted, needed your name and they started you Poppy. And I think you like it.

Oh, that's cool.

I love that.

Exactly.

And then joining the group from GameSpot is Jake Decker. Hello. Hello. Thanks. You're having me. It's an absolute pleasure to be here. We love to talk about Pokemon. We love having you here to talk Pokemon. You know what I mean? because you and blessing got to go play

Pokemon champions.

We did.

So jealous.

We battled each other too.

We battled each other.

Did you?

And like,

I, Pokemon. You know what I mean? Because you and Blessing got to go play Pokemon champions. We did. So jealous. We battled each other too. We battled each other. Did you? And like, I felt bad. Jake Decker from GameSpot. It was one. Blessing at E. O. Ye. We're like, I loosely knew that Jake was into Pokemon competitive. And then he reaffirmed it when I asked him like, oh how much are you looking forward to this? He's like, dude, this is something I've been waiting a long time for. I was like, damn. And then they ushered us into the room and they warned us.

They're like, oh, how much are you looking forward to this? He's like, dude, this is something I've been waiting a long time for.

I was like, damn.

And then they ushered us into the room and they warned us. They're like, whoever you sit across from, that's the person you're going to battle. And I was like, Jake, get over here. Jake, we're going to battle. I can't wait to dive in. your preview on GameSpot is excellent. If you want to go check it out, GameSpot.com title,

Pokemon Champions is something we've needed for a long time. I like this graph from it. Based on my limited hands-on time with Champions, it's hard to say if it will be the end-all, be-all of turn-based Pokemon battles. But what I can say is that Champions is something that Pokemon community has sorely needed for a long time.

It shatters the barrier of entry for competitive Pokemon while keeping most of the depth intact,

and it provides clear tutorials that onboard players into the more technical aspects of battling.

Perhaps the best thing about it, though, is that you can obtain, train, and battle with a new Pokemon in minutes.
