A $420 Lucario plush is now in stock at Pokémon Center. Pokémon GO is ending the current season and if you didn't finish the quest, you'll have to pay $5 for being lazy. Pokémon UNITE releases a new playable character at seemingly the worst time. We just wrapped up a 9-part series on Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, so we keep this episode spoiler free, but we do talk about the Underground.

Spoilers! We talk about the entire Elite Four! Greg and Steve compare the original teams to the new teams and the changes they make leading up to the battle with Cynthia. We talk about prep for the battles, grinding, and a bit of post game. Overall, we end the series with our thoughts on these "faithful remakes."

Greg and Steve arrive to Sunyshore to battle the final Gym Leader. We also meet Flint, an Elite 4 member, who tells us about the issues Sunyshore has. Confusion around how bad Mount Cornet is vs Victory Road talk happens. Finally, we talk a bit about "difficulty" up to this point in the game.

Time to battle the most unforgettable Gym Leader in all the games, Byron. Greg and Steve arrive in Canalave City to battle our rival, Byron, and to hear an explosion that hurts the Magikarp. A shorter episode as pacing here really picks up after getting our 5th Gym Badge and moving to the 6th.
