The term "fireside chat" refers to one of a series of talks that a popular head of state of a bygone era conducted on an early "social media". Nowadays, if the term were to be used, it would refer to any talk done in a similar manner, even literally with the inclusion of fire of some kind, as has been done by some creative people. Naturally, Pokémon might be something that some might choose to include in a "modern" creative version, and this could be something that's not too far out.
If Pokémon were the topic itself, then it would perhaps be something akin to a Pokémon Presents, though it could be deemed to be (or would have to be) on a more heartfelt and personal level. The talk might involve game elements and/or story elements, but regardless of what is involved, the delivery would be key; it would have to be calm enough yet still engaging, while/or exciting enough yet doesn't veer too far off the main concept of being a reassurance of sorts.
As for Pokémon being the "fire" part of the talk, that would naturally involve species of the very type. An obvious contender would be Slugma, serving as a literal fire or at least its embers, as has been demonstrated in a certain animated short. But then, it might also involve any of the majorly known (and majorly sized) Fire-type species like Charizard and Typhlosion; their power, even if excessive, might just set the tone for the talk, and they regardless might still be welcome for that.
Essentially, a "fireside chat" might be what I've been doing with this "Quickies" series of posts, of which the first one was exactly one year ago (see below) - or at least it is for this particular post, as the others may or may not have been tied up to matters of fire and/or Pokémon related to that. The early concept by that head of state remains something powerfully communicative yet calming, and modern interpretations might be able to reflect that, even with Pokémon being included.
