Kineticist’s take
Stern's Pokémon Costco release sparks debate over brand reliance vs. code quality; JJP gains momentum.
Synopsis
Josh Roop and Scott Larson celebrate episode 200 of the Loser Kid Pinball Podcast, discussing Stern's Costco Pokémon release strategy, criticism of Pokémon's bare-bones code despite massive sales success, personnel changes at Stern, and positive updates on Jersey Jack Pinball momentum with Sonic the Hedgehog and upcoming titles. They also cover Barrels of Fun releases (Ender's Game, Dungeon Crawler Carl) and express concerns about whether strong IP alone justifies purchases when code depth is lacking.
