News from every corner of the Pokémon world! Hosts Shinja, Dunks, and Brews start off the episode discussing the bulk that comes with opening up Pokémon cards. We take a look at the Single & Rapid Strike master sets and the future of the TCG with new trademarks, including Fusion Arts and the intriguing VMAX Climax! In Pokémon Go, we continue the countdown to Kanto with the Johto region celebration event, the newly announced Sneasel special research event, and report on the first level 50 players in Pokémon Go, which is not without some controversy! We discuss a serious Pokémon fan who beat every game without using the same Pokémon twice, and ask a new listener challenge. With merch drops, we cover the messy Bearwalker Skateboard fiasco and a new Kotobukiya N/Zorua figure. Finally, we review episode 8 of the Indigo League!
