Lured Up Podcast 294 Record Date - 12/19/2023 Publish Date - 12/23/2023   There is a ton to discuss this week as we journey deeper into Timeless Travels. Adamant Time had some ups and downs with the encounter pool being polarizing, as Kanto typically splits the Community. Nothing however, will split the Community more than a good old fashioned Niantic blunder, which is what happened this week in GBL. Black & White Kyurem were accidentally released as GBL Rewards, which really upset the Battlers once it was pulled. Not sure what they thought was going to happen!   As we make our way through the Winter Events, we have new Pokémon, new Shinies, and some solid bonuses to keep us engaged. Hopefully many Trainers have woken up to new WaySpots in their Community as the Wayfarer Challenge absolutely crushed its goals. Ripping through the APAC Countries, the Challenge turned to the US and a ton of our backlog has been addressed. Shout out to all the Wayfinders putting in work!   Finally we bounce off our conversation from last week with some creators claiming the game is dead and that their content is suffering because of it. We call out some inconsistencies in that argument with Mystic7 saying views are WAY down while FleeceKing has the most insane Hype Train ever on Twitch. We discuss some comments from Pat Flynn, who seems to nail our exact sentiment.

Lured Up Podcast 293 Record Date - 12/6/2023 Publish Date - 12/10/2023   A new Season is upon us and with it comes excitement, anticipation, and hype, right? You won't see any of that if you take a look at the feeds of some of the game's biggest content creators. With claims flying all over the place that the game is dead and that new features are dull, some think the game is in a rut. Others however, are as engaged as ever with a full slate of daily activities filling the gameplay. It is an interesting topic and there are plenty of takes flying around.   With the introduction of Timeless Travels, we have plenty to unpack. From a packed December to some longer term excitement, things already feel better than Adventures Abound. We catch up with the Season opening Hisuian Samurott Raid Day and the unfortunate server issues that happened early on. While not a good look, the event did bring Trainers out to play. We also saw a nice harmony between local and remote Raiders.   Mateo has proven to be a polarizing character. With Twitter seeming to think that Routes and the gift exchange are just another desperate attempt to keep us busy. Some however, like Ken, think that while Routes themselves aren't a game changing feature, they are an important ingredient to the overall recipe of what can make for a fun outing. It may take a while for Trainers to understand how the local gameplay of today differs greatly from the local gameplay of 2020.   The Catch Mastery event is looking strong and we have the Adamant TIme Event following after that. With a December full of events, it seems off to us that some of the bigger content creators are in a slump. We take a look at Mystic7 and FleeceKing videos and dissect their perspectives about the current state of the game. While they may make some valid points, they are both missing a crucial component in their mix. THE EXPERIENCE. Check out or discussion of what we think of the current sentiment floating around lately.   Hisuian Samurott Raid Day - https://bit.ly/LU293Samurott  Niantic Cat - https://bit.ly/LU293NianticCat  Timeless Travels - https://bit.ly/LU293TimelessTravels  Eggs-pedition - https://bit.ly/LU293Eggspedition  December Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU293December  Along The Routes - https://bit.ly/LU293AlongTheRoutes Catch Mastery - https://bit.ly/LU293CatchMastery  Adamant Time - https://bit.ly/LU293AdamantTime  Holiday Gameplay - https://bit.ly/LU293HolidayGameplay  Mystic7 - https://bit.ly/LU293Mystic7  FleeceKing -https://bit.ly/LU293FleeceKing    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

You can still help out by using our code through the Black Friday Sale!   Is it just us or does it not feel like the latest Season of Pokémon GO is coming to a close? As we enter the final week of Adventures Abound, the theme of the Season and the overall narrative seem to not be a part of the current zeitgeist. Niantic has delivered an onslaught of events and multiple new, game defining updates, but in terms of narrative we haven't had much. It poses the question of does Pokémon GO even need a story at all? Do players actually have any idea what is going on with the narrative or is it all just about catching everything they see?   We recap the last week of gameplay including Mareep Community Day, which paired very nicely with the Party Up Event. Players that got together in person for Community Day were able to play in parties and wrap up their Timed and Special Research for Party Up. Some even used the time to complete some Routes. One thing is for certain, IRL Pokémon GO is alive and well, and Niantic has the numbers to prove it.   While we covered the financial impact that a GO Fest Event can bring to a region last week, this episode we talk about the attendance across those events. With 180,000 Trainers playing in those events, it proves that those saying the game is dead are simply blowing smoke. With new and creative events like the Akasuka Route in Japan, the future is looking strong. We think that sponsored routes may just be the secret sauce that takes this game to a new level. It brings a dynamic that blends travel, entertainment, art, and nature. Asakusa may be on to something.   The Black Friday Pokécoin Sale has the Community split, with some simply thinking this is a desperate attempt by Niantic to grab our money. Consistent spenders on the game are all smiles as their hard earned money that they have budgeted towards the game, will get them a little bit more this week. A win-win for those that consume items.   Finally we wrap up with a Terrakion Raid Guide and Battle Party, and put together our teams that we will be bringing out. Terrakion is definitely the most popular of the Swords of Justice, and for good reason. For those that know the lore, this may be a fun time to bring out Keldeo to play.   With Adventures Abound closing out this week, how did this Season perform for your play and entertainment styles?   Mareep Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU290Mareep  Party Up! - https://bit.ly/LU291PartyUp  PokéCoin Sale - https://bit.ly/LU292PokeCoins  Asakusa Route - https://bit.ly/LU292Asakusa  GO Fest Attendance - https://bit.ly/LU292GOFest  Terrakion Battle Party - https://bit.ly/LU292Terrakion  Closing out the Season Recap - https://bit.ly/LU292November    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Lured Up Podcast 291 Record Date - 11/18/2023 Publish Date - 11/21/2023   USE CODE: BALLCHECK20 at https://www.manscaped.com/ FOR 20% OFF AND FREE SHIPPING There have been plenty of Pokémon in fashion this week, and the Shiny chase is on.We had a ton of costume Shinies to look out for which kept the grinders busy, and a really cool Dragonite in Raids for that camp to go after. With Fashion Week wrapping up, we will see a few days worth of vanilla spawns to hold us over to Party Up!   Which is the most Niantic event ever. A Party Event that doesn't require or even motivate you to join a Party. We aren't quite sure where Niantic wants this event to go, but it looks like it will simply be an encounter shift for a few days.   If you log in to the game using the Pokémon Trainer Club then you are going to want to take some precautions to ensure you can maintain account access. An update to the login could give some Trainers an issue, so make sure you have your alternate login methods linked.   The Wayfarer AMAs are coming up and hopefully we get some clarifications about the Ladder Policy to help put some of the concerns to bed. Will the Twitter Mob have their voice heard? We will have to wait and see what questions end up making it through to the release.   A ban wave swept through, impacting some of the game's most hardcore grinders. GO Hub gets the scoop on how it is tied to the Fast Catch exploit. Any way you look at it, it isn't a good look. Niantic didn't give much info besides saying that it would be resolved quickly.   We end with a discussion around a Mystic7 Tweet where he proclaims the game dead. We share our hot takes and discuss what we think may be happening in the world of PGO Content. Is it the game that is causing viewership to decline, or is it the content failing to give the modern PGO audience what they want?   Fashion Week - https://bit.ly/LU290FashionWeek Trainer Club Update - https://bit.ly/3R3vwOs  Party Up! - https://bit.ly/LU291PartyUp  Party Up Infographic - https://bit.ly/LU290PartyUpInfographic  Wayfarer AMA - https://bit.ly/LuredUpWayfarer  Trainers Doing Good - https://bit.ly/LU291TrainersDoingGood  Take This - https://bit.ly/LU291TakeThis  Ban Wave - https://bit.ly/LU291Ban  Mystic7 - https://bit.ly/LU291Mystic7  JT Valor Video - https://bit.ly/LU290JTValor    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Special Conditions Podcast 158 Recording Date - 11/8/23 Publish Date - 11/15/23 Join us as we dive into the paradoxical realm of the latest expansion, "Paradox Rift," where the battles are intense and the surprises are endless. Can you feel the excitement? Cue the dramatic flair—Paradox, let it rift!  The plot thickens as we investigate the latest buzz in the Pokémon community. Is Pokémon trolling us with a mysterious card featuring Wiglett art? The imagery and the vibration attack make us wonder.  Pokémon Center has restocked Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Boxes! Get yours while you can before they're gone. And if you happen to get one, hit up Adam for a trade for the Iron Bundle promo card! In an unexpected twist, new art for Blastoise V and Venusaur V have emerged almost 3 years after initial release. We don't know why English and Japanese never received this version of the art, but what we do know is the Pokemon TCG is brand new in China. These Chinese expansions are years behind the sets as we know it.  https://bit.ly/SC158ParadoxRift https://bit.ly/SC158BlastoiseinChina https://bit.ly/SC158WiglettVibration https://bit.ly/SC158PokemonCenterPR https://bit.ly/SC158IronValiantAmazon Use Code FULLHEAL20 at https://www.manscaped.com/ for 20% Off and FREE SHIPPING!

Lured Up Podcast 290 Record Date - 11/12/2023 Publish Date - 11/15/2023   As we approach the end of the season, the amount of events is still packing the calendar. The Festival of Lights brought on some fun spawns and visuals, and Mega Garchomp Raid Day brought Trainers outside for another fun day of IRL gameplay. We have noticed a ton of positive Community Ambassador posts showing off incredible turnouts and great vibes, but that stop the Twitter mob from being completely offended. When Ken posts about how he thinks the Remote Raid Pass limit was a great thing, the mob went on the attack, or should we say, felt attacked. We dig into how many on Twitter are still feeling bent about the RRP changes and the virtue signalers are back out in force.   There is plenty of Community Day news this week with Niantic sharing the next season's save the dates, as well as announcing Mareep as our Community Day Classic featured Pokémon. As we approach the Winter months here in the North East, it may take a strong showing from Niantic to keep Trainers going outside in the cold to play IRL events.   Fashion Week is the next event on the calendar and it brings Shiny Gothita, new costume Pokémon, and a ton of other shiny chases to check. Fashionable Dragonite may become a fan favorite, but there are nearly a dozen additional costumed Pokémon to pick from. While Ken enjoys the hunt, we all know how Adam really feels about events like this.   Finally we wrap up with some miscellaneous news including the expansion of the Pokémon GO Challenge to Europe, a McDonald's sponsorship in Canada, and a tease about the Lured Up Gym Leader Challenge in our Discord.

Adam's league cup trophy cards have The Grading Authority (TGA) scratching their heads. These relics are so old, they might as well have been delivered by dinosaurs. With a lower population than a party in a ghost town, these cards are rarer than a compliment in a YouTube comments section.   French Fries & Meta Madness in Lille: It's not just about baguettes and brie in France; the card game scene in Lille is hotter than a Parisian summer! In a discussion about the meta, Chien Pow spun heads faster than a French windmill, clinching 3rd place and leaving Adam jazzed up like a caffeinated snail.   Shiny Cardboard Shenanigans: Move over, Hidden Fates! Here comes Shiny Treasure ex, the Cinderella of shiny card collections. Will it outshine its predecessors? Will it be the shiny diamond in the rough or just another shiny dud? Fates are hiding, and the cards are sparkling with suspense!   Tord's Trophies Turned Treasures: Tord Reklev, Pokemon Master, took 2nd place at Pokemon World's in Japan. Guess how much he sold his No. 2 Trainer card for?

Special Conditions Podcast  Recording Date - 10/18/23 Publish Date - 11/1/23   This week we dig into Peoria and Sacramento thanks to the rundown on Limitless. Some interesting builds and familiar faces came out to play and we run through some of the lists.   We all know Adam is obsessed with Delibird, but Delibird isn't always around.

Lured Up Podcast 289 Record Date - 10/28/2023 Publish Date - 10/30/2023   What's this, what's this? Two incredible weeks of PGO Gameplay with more on the way! It's been a great time to play Pokémon GO with the Halloween Events and a Team GO Rocket Takeover keeping Trainers really busy. From new Pokémon to unique shiny chases, there is a bit of something for everyone.    Most of the action this week is actually from the Community and not from the game. We have an emerging platform for PvP with Dracoviz, which is looking very strong and could be the next place that Battlers call home. It will be interesting to see if Zygarden manages to get anything going before Dracoviz really takes off.   Twitter is still making Wayfarer out to be a bad place, with our favorite nay-sayer, JRE Seawolf at the center of it. We talk about how he shares info that supports his narrative, but doesn't paint a complete picture of what is going on. Trainers need to accept that they will be held accountable for their actions, even if the actions in question were a long time ago. Also, everyone should remember that if your offense is significant, Niantic may jump right to a 30 or 90 day suspension right out of the gate.   November and the Festival of Lights are on the way, but we first put together a Raid Guide and Battle Party for Shadow Lugia, which will be around on the weekends for a few weeks. Whether you decide to bring a full party of Tyranitars, or mix it up completely, there are a bunch of ways you can approach Shadow Lugia!   Halloween Part 1 - https://bit.ly/LU287Halloween  Halloween Part 2 - https://bit.ly/LU289Halloween2  Team GO Rocket Takeover - https://bit.ly/LU289TGRTakeover  Party Play - https://bit.ly/LU289GOParty  Dravociz.gg - https://bit.ly/LU289Dracoviz  Caleb Peng Dracoviz Tutorial - https://bit.ly/LU289CalebPeng  JRE being JRE - https://bit.ly/LU289JRE  November Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU289November  Festival of Lights - https://bit.ly/LU289Festival Shadow Lugia - https://bit.ly/LU289ShadowLugia   Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Lured Up Podcast 288 Record Date - 10/21/2023 Publish Date - 10/23/2023   Adam is back on US soil! We learn about his first ever trip abroad and what it was like to Train at the City Safari in Barcelona! From airport to airport and park to city, there are plenty of stories to share. Huge shout out to Kriket23 for helping Adam guide himself through Spain!   For the rest of us, the week included the TIcket of Treats, Timburr Community Day, and Part 1 of the Halloween event. With the end of October looking to be incredible, this month has taken many by surprise. We hope you like costume Pokémon though, because they are coming in hot and fast this month. If you aren't into costumes, the Shiny Zorua chase should be enough to keep you busy!   The big news of the week however comes with the release of GO Party, a feature that came out of nowhere and looks like a home run on paper. We will need some time behind the wheel before having a conclusive take, but our hot takes have us split. With rewards that seem lackluster at first but add up quick, we will see if it is enough to keep Trainers engaged with the feature.    We expound on GO Party with an installment of Poke the Bear, where we ask how Twitter feels about GO Party being released (with bugs) while existing features like Showcases and Routes still have their own set of bugs. Can issues with the feature be overlooked, or is the known issue list simply keep growing and growing.

Special Conditions Podcast  Recording Date - 10/4/2023 Publish Date - 10/16/2023   Prepare for an electrifying revelation, Pokémon trainers! In a heart-racing twist of fate, a Pikachu card of unparalleled mystique has surfaced in the dynamic realm of TCG Live! Ok it's just a Play Pokemon promo card, but it's still pretty cool.     Local Gamestop stores across North America have become arenas of epic play and trade events, drawing both newcomers and seasoned trainers alike. The question looms large: who will heed the call and prove their mettle in this electrifying adventure?   The latest Ultra Pro release for TCG accessories is causing quite a stir, leaving Adam and Justin quite bewildered. We rail hard on this release as it feels quite lazy and uninspiring.   The Countdown Begins: Paradox Rift Set Approaches! With excitement heightening, we offer a glimpse into this enchanting set, as provided by Pokemon.com. Will the Paradox Rift set live up to the hype, or will it exceed all expectations? Only time will tell, and we're counting down the seconds to its arrival.

Lured Up Podcast 287 Record Date - 10/14/2023 Publish Date - 10/16/2023   While Adam is out living his best life at the City Safari n Barcelona, the show must go on! This week, Lane from Good Morning Johto fills the second chair! Make sure you follow Lane and his show for a unique spin on Pokémon GO podcast coverage!   With the Adventures Abound in full swing, the pacing of events continues to deliver multiple events per week. The Ticket of Treats brings us the second Timed Research, which reopens the conversation of the Battle Pass model. We discuss what it would take to make the Battle Pass model work, and if a narrative would be required to keep the progression going.    October events are keeping Trainers engaged with a solid rollout of bonuses, new Pokémon, and new Shinies. From diverse encounter pools to solo Legendary Raid battles, there is a bit of everything for Trainers to dig into. The Harvest Festival is getting thumbs up all around, with Timburr Community Day adding some spice to the mix. The fan favorite Halloween event looks exceptionally strong, with more still to come before the end of the month.   We wrap things up with discussing the public details about the GO Stadium turmoil, now that statements have been released from the main parties involved. With JRHonda setting himself up for harsh criticism by jumping on a Twitch interview, there seems to be more fuel being added to the fire daily. More and more people are turning their back on GO Stadium, which opens the door for other players to come in to grab some of their PvP market share. While we don't like to see any human go through the ringer, sometimes sympathy is hard to come by when the ringer is self-inflicted.  Ticket of Treats - https://bit.ly/LU285Treats  Harvest Festival - https://bit.ly/LU287Harvest  Timburr Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU285Timburr  Adam in Barcelona - https://bit.ly/LU287Barcelona  Halloween Part 1 - https://bit.ly/LU287Halloween  Incense Day: Skorupi - https://bit.ly/LU287Skorupi  GO Stadium - https://bit.ly/LU287GOStadium NHoff - https://bit.ly/LU287NHoff JRHonda Interview - https://bit.ly/LU287Kaiser  PvPoke IV Checker - https://bit.ly/LU287PvPoke  Dracoviz - https://bit.ly/LU287Dracoviz    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Special Conditions 154 Recording Date - 9/27/2023  Release Date - 10/11/2023   Episode Title - Van Gogh to the Pokemon Center   "Don't look, Adam, it's another Pikachu in a hat!" We've seen Pikachu rock countless adorable hats before, but this one might just have a surprise twist. As Adam cautiously sneaks a peek, he can't help but wonder, "Wait, it's actually kinda cute...?"   The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam has a special Pokemon x Van Gogh exhibit. In honor of this exhibit Pokemon Center online is doing a special promotional card giveaway with purchase of select Pokemon x Van Gogh items starting 09/28/23. Get ready to feel the heat, folks, because Charizard is setting Southern Brazil on fire at the Curitaba Regionals!

Lured Up Podcast 286 Record Date - 10/7/2023 Publish Date - 10/10/2023   The Pokémon GO Community has been on some roller coasters lately, and this week really sent us for a loop. The PvP Community is in turmoil as a wave of DM screenshots were released that showed leaders of PvP in a negative light. With a former staffer of GO Stadium airing it all out, JRHonda from GO Stadium has resigned. We are confident we will be feeling the waves of this shake up in the coming weeks.   In gameplay news, recap our last week of Training includingGO Battle Weekend and the Detective Pikachu event. The Ticket of Treats pseudo Battle-Pass is underway with with the first of four Timed Research. Timburr Community Day still doesn't really feel right but we are excited to have Guzzlord to whoop on this week. We close things out with a little Battle Party to get you ready.   After a week like this on Social Media and within our Communities, it is important to remember that we are all here to play a game and have fun. We all have different ways that we connect with the game, and we have varying levels of engagement from casual to hardcore. That being said this week reminds us to hold true to your values and stand up to adversity. PolymersUp took his time and aired things out that address something that has been plaguing the Community for years. A Lycanroc in Mareep clothing. We have been campaigning for years on what we believe it means to Build The Community. What we saw this week was an example of how misguided people can become.   GO Battle Weekend - https://bit.ly/LU285GBWeekend Detective Pikachu - https://bit.ly/LU285DetectivePikachu  Ticket of Treats Infographic - https://bit.ly/LU286TicketOfTreats  Ticket of Treats - https://bit.ly/LU285Treats  Timburr Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU285Timburr  City Safari: Seoul - https://bit.ly/LU286Seoul City Safari: Barcelona - https://bit.ly/LU286Barcelona Adam Barcelona - https://bit.ly/LU286AdamBarcelona  City Safari: Mexico City - https://bit.ly/LU286MexicoCity PolymersUp - https://bit.ly/LU286PolymersUp GO Stadium - https://bit.ly/LU286GOStadium Guzzlord Battle Party - https://bit.ly/LU286Guzzlord   Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Lured Up Podcast 285 Record Date - 9/30/2023 Publish Date - 10/1/2023    As we move into the second month of Adventures Abound, we have plenty to reflect on including Azurill Hatch Day, the Out To Play Event, and even a smattering of vanilla spawns. With Timburr Community Day being announced, we are all scratching our heads a bit wondering why we don't have a ghost type instead. Perhaps we will see a spooky Community Day Classic? New events are on the horizon with a celebration of the Detective Pikachu game on Switch as well as a GO Battle Weekend to grind through. While Detective Pikachu may feel like a filler event, at least the Battlers will stay busy earning some sweet rewards next weekend. In an exciting turn, Niantic has announced the Ticket of Treats, a month long Battle Pass style ticket that gives weekly Timed Research. Could this be a preview of what's to come with a subscription model?   Finally we revisit the Wayfarer drama on Twitter as more reports of Suspensions are coming in. We follow along with one suspension in particular and work through the timeline while sharing our thoughts. It is an interesting one, that regardless of outcome, has each side of the fence claiming it as their own.

Lured Up Podcast 284 Record Date - 9/23/2023 Publish Date - 9/27/2023   It has been another stellar week of Pokémon GO behaving poorly on Twitter! The flavor of the week is the Wayfarer Ladder Policy that we covered last week. With reports of players getting their Pokémon GO accounts suspended, accompanied by claims of innocent gameplay has us giving things the major side-eye. With PGO influencers jumping into the fray, denouncing Wayfarer and encouraging their audience to pull out of Wayfarer, it has created a beautiful disaster that is very popcorn worthy.   As for actual gameplay, we recap our experiences with Oddich Research Day and Grubbin Community Day. With severe weather hitting NJ, our gameplay turned indoors which was made a million times better by running into a wild Mrs. Mime! We also love how Showcases have made us adapt our gameplay around them.    There are plenty of events on the horizon, and we breakdown Out to Play and Azurill Hatch Day. Naintic also released their October Content Update, which we skim through and tease the month away. The pace of events will keep us busy as many in the US prep for the colder months of the year.    We hope your takeaway from this episode is to get informed on how the Wayfarer Ladder Policy really works, and hope you don't believe every post you see on Twitter. Wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions. We are really looking forward to how things pan out over the next week with the upcoming Wayfarer Review Challenge.   Psychic Spectacular - https://bit.ly/LU283Psychic Oddish Research Day - https://bit.ly/LU282Oddish Grubbin Community Day -https://bit.ly/LU282Grunbbin Out To Play - https://bit.ly/LU284OutToPlay Azurill Hatch Day - https://bit.ly/LU284Azurill October Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU284October Poke The Bear - https://bit.ly/LU284PokeTheBear  WoodWoseWolf Tweet - https://bit.ly/LU284WoodWoseWulf  Zyonik Tweet - https://bit.ly/LU284Zyonik Andis Tweet - https://bit.ly/LU284Andis xLilPoundcake Tweet - https://bit.ly/LU284LilPoundcake Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.

Lured Up Podcast 283 Record Date - 9/16/2023 Publish Date - 9/18/2023   The last two weeks of gameplay have been unbelievable. Incredible bonuses, new Pokémon and new Shinies have kept most Trainers very busy. We recap our experiences with the Paldean events and reflect on how it feels now that they are gone. It is going to take some consistent doses of dopamine from Niantic to keep this momentum from plummeting.   PGO now has Hindi Language support which is a massive win for Trainers in India. With the success of the Wayfarer Challenge there, and now native language support, the game has an excellent foundation to take off. It will be exciting to see how many Trainers emerge from India after these updates.   The Unity game engine that PGO runs on has made a sweeping update to their developer pricing model, which has sent a surge of negativity near the top of the gaming world food chain. With the threats to Indie studios, and the incredible volume of downloads that PGO gets daily, this could be a very damaging update. We discuss whether or not Unity will stick to their decision or if they will bend. Either way, Niantic has some thinking to do.   Wayfarer announced a significant anti-cheat effort to moderate the service. Calling out bad-actors and review rings, it sounds like the Wayfarer team means business. If your not convinced, then just check out the 10 year ban that they added to their policy terms. While there are concerns about everyday Wayfinders throwing in the towel on the tool, we think this is a very positive move at large.   Routes have hit Campfire and we now have a proper way to prepare for Route play. This will be a gamechanger in the space, now we just have to hope that Trainers use it. Finally we wrap things up with a Raid Guide and Battle Party for Burn-Drive Genesect! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

We then dive into the full submission process for TGA and how to protect your cards in shipping.  Everyone likes collection boxes right?? There's several new ones on the horizon including Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant ex boxes. There were also more cards revealed for the Mewtwo and Skelidirge ex decks as well as the Miraidon League Battle deck. We end the podcast with Miraidon Solo, the amusing musical.  https://bit.ly/SC152OnlineTourneyresults1  https://bit.ly/SC152OnlineTourneyresults2  https://bit.ly/SC152Mewtwoex  https://bit.ly/SC152RagingSurfCards  https://bit.ly/SC152RoaringValiantBoxes  Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!

Lured Up Podcast Record Date - 9/10/2023 Publish Date - 9/13/2023   We are knee deep into Paldea and we have been feasting on 4x XP and Dust. This is an absolutely amazing time to be playing Pokémon GO! With new Poémon and Shinies, Raid Bosses and Research, there has been a bit of something for everyone to do. Does it even matter that we skipped Galar?   We also had some event news drop this week with Oddish Research Day and Grubbin Community Day. This Season is proving to blend staple events with new styles and themes. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out and if the tone can be carried out for 3 months.   Wayfarer has been a hot topic lately as more and more Trainers are using the system. With the closing of NBA All World, we all knew change was coming to the K-12 Basketball Court rules. As of this week, Niantic has instructed Wayfinders to cease nominations, reject in voting, and report all existing K-12 POI for removal. It was fun while it lasted!   Finally we spitball on a few topics that we were to be covering in our Twitter Space. From our Hot take on Adventures Abound to Wayfarer abuse, to Hear Us Niantic, we want to talk about some topics that may have the Community split!

Special Conditions Podcast  Recording Date - 8/16/23 Publish Date - 9/4/2023   IRON BUNDLE IS REVEALED. Will Iron Bundle (future robot version of Delibird) take over the meta as we know it?? Pokemon World's in Japan revealed a new mechanic (future vs ancient) and an old mechanic (Ace Spec). We speculate how this mechanic will be similar to battle styles from the 2021 sets.    Iron Bundle wasn't the only broken card revealed. Scream Tail (ancient jigglypuff) looks to add even more firepower to Gardevoir. Roaring Moon ex (ancient Salamence) has 2 broken attacks and hits for relevant weakness. The illustration rares continue in this upcoming Paradox Rift set with absolutely beautiful cards. Iron Valiant ex (future Gallade) has a crazy ability.    Adam takes us in the way back machine to discuss Ace Spec cards back in the day and how they were played. We review them and speculate on what the new versions will look like.    Detective Pikachu Returns! There's a new Pokemon game on the horizon and Justin really wants that promo card. Will there be another special set dedicated to Detective Pikachu?   Finally we end on the Pokemon World's tournament results. We both lost sleep watching this tournament at weird hours of the day. We dive into the meta and are surprised how Mew was able to pull it off. Adam is excited about Andrew Mahone's Miraidon list that placed in top 32.

Special Conditions Podcast 151 Recording Date - 8/24/23 Publish Date - 9/4/2023 70,000 trainers descend upon Gotham (NYC) and they're all there to see Adam. Ok maybe that's a bit of a stretch but Adam was a notable trainer at Go Fest NYC and we discuss how it went! There was a podcast meetup for the New York state of Grind. While in New York, Adam and Justin got to play in person Pokemon TCG matches! Chien Pao vs United Wings, what could go wrong?   New York was full of surprises as Adam got the Lorcana starter decks early from the Times Square Disney store! The early days of Lorcana are reminding us of the Pokemon Card shortage craze of 2021.    We go on a tangent about card quality and comparing Darkness Ablaze to Obsidian Flames. Are the cards more flimsy or are they more sturdy? Printing quality seems to be all over the place.    Path to the Peak is a MUST WATCH show for trainers of all ages. Young kids will enjoy the animation style and action in the show. Adults will appreciate the nostalgic references throughout. We discussed what we enjoyed about the first 2 episodes.   ADD LINKS HERE https://bit.ly/SC151NYGoFest  https://bit.ly/SC151JustinVSAdam https://bit.ly/SC151Lorcana  https://bit.ly/SC151PathtothePeakShow    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate  SpecialConditions@PokemonProfessor.com  Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639   https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Trapped In A Pokéball Dj CUTMAN and Belthesar GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/DjCUTMAN http://soundcloud.com/belthesar   Break Music He Walk - Furret / Accumula Town Remix  Dj Cutman http://soundcloud.com/djcutman  http://twitter.com/videogamedj  http://youtube.com/djcutman   Outro Music Kanto Trainer Battle Mykah GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  https://soundcloud.com/mykah   Hosts Adam Tuttle Justin Keller   Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer Tish Smith   Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon Professor and Special Conditions are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo   #pokemon #pokemontcg #podcast
