Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t finished the DIU season of JJBA (either because you’re watching the dub or you’re getting into the series), I’ll try to avoid spoiling everything.

Over the past twenty-one years that I’ve been aware of Pokemon, I’ve always dreamed of playing a main entry in the series on a home console. Hell, I bought a GameCube for that long-time pipedream.
