Pokemon Champions is here and we have expert guests Casey DeFreitas and Kallie Plagge to get you up to speed.

We get deep into the tall grass of Pokemon competitive battling, and ask the question: How do the gatcha components of Pokemon Champions affect players new and old? The tension between serving the new player and fulfilling the seasoned player runs high!
