Originally launching in the U.S. in 1998, Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow have been a big part of our lives for almost our entire lives. But which ones have the best vibes?

In this episode, the industry suffers from sequel-itis and these Local Morons can’t possibly put TWO skating games in the top five, can they?!
