Pokémon Sleep's new Latias event is ongoing and we give a recap of how we feel about this event. Pokémon Champions is here and we talk about VP, the Battle Pass, the Yearly Membership, and recruitment from the Ranch. Champions launched with a lot of issues and bugs and a couple have already gotten fixed with an acknowledgment of another fix to come at an unknown date? The game seems very solid for those who are mostly using Pokémon HOME to send over their team.

The lottery system is now open for Pokémon Worlds, we give you all the information you need to know! Pokopia gets a Sudowoodo event on April 1st. We suggest there will probably be more this year as nothing is planned after Champions. We dive into the 4.0 Pokémon HOME update and why Pokémon that touch Legends Z-A can't go backwards. We get abilities for some new Mega Pokémon and talk about Champions before release.

After playing Pokémon Champions, we now know the release date and some of the pricing that may come on launch day. This entire episode is dedicated to our excitement and concerns around Pokémon Champions. Marketing of this game has seemed to pick up with the focus being for people who have never really battled before.

More Pokopia talk around the storage system in the game and how to water bend. This episode we also compare just the general feel around people's comments to this game vs the last couple of Pokémon games like Legends Z-A's online reception. Pokémon Champions will be playable at PAX East, but we still don't have release date or pricing. Pokémon TCG Pocket has hit the Shiny button again. Hyundai partners with Pokémon. Gale of Darkness XD drops on the Switch 2. We cover the minor changes in Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen.

The first event of Pokopia had a moment of confusion. There is a bug patch coming to Pokopia soon to fix areas in the game where you could stop progression and to fix a Bug Pokémon. There are no story spoilers in this episode. Pokémon Sleep gets a new Legendary event and a new partnership with Garmin watches. Pokémon TCG seems to be getting some smaller sets, but also Pokémon bought a trading card distributor.

We talk about how good Pokémon Pokopia is. There are no story spoilers in this episode, but we do talk about what is on the first three areas of the game you can explore. Pokopia has sold out at several stores and has early signs of proving to be a Nintendo Switch 2 system seller. In this episode, we dive into habitats, the size of the game, and comparing it to other cozy games like Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Pokémon Day brought us the announcement of Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves! These two titles will arrive in 2027 and we learn the three starters are Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua. We see very little of Pokémon Champions, but we know it arrives this April. Pokopia introduces both a cooking mechanic and a prop hunt mode. TPC also revealed a Game Boy toy that plays 45 songs in an inconvenient way.

A local Pokémon TCG shop was asked by Nintendo to change their name and logo after a recent robbery. Our honest thoughts on Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos in LA. FireRed and LeafGreen are coming on Pokémon day and we talk about nostalgia being a prison. Was the add-on for Mega Night worth the cost of admission and time after playing for 8 hours all day?

Podcast recorded live in a studio with our friends over at GoCast.

Details about the Pokémon Pinball machine by Stern arrives with Pokémon, gameplay, pre-order information, and more. TCG Pocket seems to be losing players rapidly and DeNA is working on a fix to retain them. Preview of Pokopia are now going around. We see new footage, new gameplay, more details about multiplayer, and find out there should be a hefty post game after you roll credits. TPCi announced Pokémon Day and Pokémon Night around the time the SuperBowl ad debuted. We talk about what these events could offer for the 30th anniversary.
