He's saying it WILL become a dated reference. Very quickly. This may be the first time Pete has included a non-obfuscated video game reference. Usually he'd hack up something nonsensical like "Pokeham Woe" or "Mononokemon Bro".

No, back in ye olden times Pete talked about Playstation and Diablo and one or two other games that I never heard of but pretty sure was reall. I think the knock off brands didn't start until the Wii, PS3 and 360 generation.

Riff was chosen as a beta tester for Diablo 2.

I have to say I was surprised as well that Pete used the actual game name and not a Sluggyverse version. Like...
VirtuaMon Nom
Slowpokie Slow
Monster Harvester Yo!

Amazing, Pete, you've had this storyline plotted out for twenty years, and somehow you knew that Pokemon Go would be hot right at this time. Well played, sir, well played.

Ignoring the intro of Pokémon Go to the strip, isn't this the first time that Torg has given a reason for leaving other than being pissed at Riff?
So basically he left because he's suddenly a coward? I was really hoping it was to look for Oasis full-time, or something. Not because he didn't think they had a chance.
Zoe should just leave him. Now. Go back to Riff. Because this is a steaming pile of BS.
