September 17, 2019June 15, 2020 Chris

After seven major story arcs and more than 1,050 episodes of the Pokemon anime, the impossible has finally happened: Ash Ketchum won a Pokemon League tournament. After several heartbreaks along the way, getting increasingly close but coming up short, he … Continue reading Ash Ketchum Might Not Be the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever?

NOTE: For an update after Ash’s victory in Alola, click here. Our previous post about Ash Ketchum, shamelessly titled “Ash Ketchum is the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever,” is far and away the most popular post on the site.

Pokemon X and Y: First Impressions

October 15, 2013October 23, 2013 Chris

It’s not surprising to me that I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time with Pokemon Y so far. After all, we pretty much know what to expect from a Pokemon game at this point — the only question is going to … Continue reading Pokemon X and Y: First Impressions

Checkpoint: Pokemon

April 27, 2013May 2, 2013 Gray Areas

This column originally ran on January 25, 2010. Call it a fad, a ruse or a hoax. Call it a shallow game for kids. But you’ll also have to call Pokemon the highest-selling portable franchise in gaming history. With DS … Continue reading Checkpoint: Pokemon

Mudkip is the Best Pokemon TLDR:  Mudkip is the best.  ‘Nuff said. Which is the best Pokemon? We here at At The Buzzer do not take this question lightly, as you have seen the past few days. There are so … Continue reading Mudkip Is The Best Pokemon

Gray Areas

Gray Areas is a pop culture extravaganza with a live weekly podcast every Thursday night, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of old blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris, Dave and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Cody, who joined in 2021. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It became Objection Network in 2017 and then this in 2024. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.
