We're back on Game Corner! In this episode, we catch up on our recent life updates and share our excitement (and predictions!) for the next Nintendo Direct. We dive into Pokémon talk with our thoughts on Pokémon Champions, the current VGC scene, and our reflections on Scarlet and Violet. Plus, we discuss our hype for the Switch 2 and share our gameplay experiences with Monster Hunter: Wilds. We even take a little trip down memory lane with some Phantasy Star nostalgia before wrapping up by commiserating about the ever-present challenge of balancing adulting with our gaming habits.
