This week, hosts Shinja and Dunks are joined by a very special guest: Paul, also known as SteelStrife, one of the world’s first Level 50 Pokémon Go players! We introduce Paul then dive right into the big Post Malone virtual concert announcement. We discuss a PSA 7 Illustrator card currently being auctioned off, the fiasco that is the McDonald’s Happy Meal promotion, Eevee Heroes and our take on the future of Eeveelutions, and the postponed London World Championships. For Pokémon Go, we report on the Valentine’s Day event, Go Tour Kanto event and other Kanto related events, and go off on many tangents including our theory on Niantic introducing bottle caps to the game. We close the episode by discussing merch drops from Levi’s to Build a Bear.
