To celebrate my favourite gaming franchise of all time on Distant Arcade, I had two choices:
- Publish a load of Pokémon-related blog posts
- Publish a load of Pokémon-related links in one blog post
I’ve opted for #2. So here it is: 25 links for Pokémon’s 25th birthday! I shall be playing and watching and singing today with my son who loves it too.
