This week on Unskippable Dialogue, Conor takes Pokémon to task and then shows it some love by exploring the fascinating world of Pokémon ROM hacks.

Fed up with buggy releases like Scarlet & Violet and uninspired gimmicks, Conor dives into fan-made alternatives that keep the franchise alive. From the brutal difficulty of Radical Red to the jaw-dropping story of Pokémon Rocket Red(where you play as a Team Rocket grunt and discover a wild MissingNo twist), this episode is part review, part manifesto against mediocrity.

Expect passionate rants, retro handheld nostalgia, and plenty of Irish gaming banter as Pearse and Conor debate whether Game Freak has lost its way — and why fan devs might just be saving the series.
