This week, John is joined by guest Mateus Quibao to provide some insight into how Pokemon functions in Brazil, and the LATAM region as a whole. Mateus is a long-time judge and player who has transitioned to being a store owner hoping to shed some light on the differences between NA and LATAM Pokemon from a macro perspective.

Aaron is back this week to join John in providing some early insights from their first experiences with the Black Bolt & White Flare format. Then after a brief detour through Blaine's Quiz Show, the guys do a near term retrospective tier list of the power level of each Scarlet and Violet set upon their release.

On this week's episode, John sat down with Omar and Edgardo Cortes to talk about how they got into the game and what it's like competing in the Pokemon TCG from the perspective of a seniors player and their parent including: balancing Pokemon with school/work/extracurriculars, impacts from a social or financial perspective, and the benefits of Pokemon as a competitive outlet for younger players. We definitely want to thank them for their time and the insight into this lesser discussed topic!

This week, Aaron and John go over some select cards from the upcoming Black Bolt and White Flare expansions releasing 7/18. The highlighted cards are expected to be on the more impactful side of the spectrum but the notable quality of this release is that for the first time ever, we will be receiving Black Bolt and White Flare as two fully separate products!

We should be back to our regularly scheduled programming starting next week including our bonus segments. We hope you continue to enjoy the show.
