Sidequest: Pokémon

Sidequest: Pokémon

This episode we take a partial traditional approach, covering the history of Pokémon and the minds behind the biggest media franchise of all time. But Pokémon's too huge a topic to stay tidy, so we also go on a side quest into the weirder stuff — like a million strangers controlling one Game Boy on Twitch, and Pokémon GO's surprising ties to military surveillance.
