With the 2024 Pokémon Day around the corner, we talk about what makes the most sense to show up and what we would like, even if that's probably not possible. Our conversations go from Pokémon UNITE to Pokémon GO to the new Pokémon and more! We talk about the potential of a new Main Series game being announced to even having nothing that big announced as it could be a lighter year.

Two players got banned at the Liverpool tournament this past weekend for using cloned Pokémon on their teams. This sparked a conversation that they didn't have enough time to make the Pokémon properly because the games have become "pay to win" because of needing to trade or buy the DLCs. Paldean Fates, the newest Shiny TCG set, has arrived. The Pikachu Van Gogh situation gets another update. Pokémon GO makes some good quality of life changes.
