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.

We look back on some of the Pokémon news that TPCi seemed to deem worthy to write in their retrospective. A neat Japanese Pokémon ecology book is getting an English translation and coming out this Spring. Pocket gets some updates. Pokémon teases a 30th Anniversary logo with a small trailer. We speculate why older games still might not come to the Switch or Switch 2.
