Jacob in Pokémon Scarlet

Decided it was finally time to jump into my in-laws 2022 Christmas gift, Pokemon Scarlet.

Madden 2005 and ESPN NFL 2K5 are both lauded as some of the best sports games ever made, and over 20 years later, Chris of @retrohangover.bsky.social and @adamgumby.bsky.social joined me to decide which one deserves the crown!
