It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast

Pokémon Masters finally gets Sygna Suit Blue and Leaf, and Red & Charizard returns to the game for the anniversary event. On top of that, 10 pulls in Masters now give you a bonus 11th pull for the event with the Elite Four stuff appearing this past week too. Pokémon GO added Mega Evolution this week and fans are not too happy with how it was implemented, so we talk about the ups and downs of the new system. GO Battle League also is a bit broken, but a GBL event is coming the end of September.

Pokémon UNITE, a new MOBA Pokémon game, got announced this week and it was oddly received by the community. Some are not happy it's not a remake, some are upset it's being made by Tencent, and others are upset they had to wake up at 6AM to see the news, but we talk about it all. We also cover the short story aspects of the Isle of Armor DLC. Pokémon Masters gets a new Egg system and Niantic randomly canceled a Raid Day event with no reason why.
