Pokemon Champions Podcast

A couple weeks ago we had a double regional weekend, and we're here with the results from those! And for some reason Mikey is still asking the questions "Who is the Mew VMAX of VGC?" Also there's several references to an episode that isn't out yet, so enjoy our chaos.

We apologize for some of the audio quality with pops in this episode. I tried my best without murdering the audio - DozerThis week we have the Salt Lake City results for TCG and VGC. We look at what impact Mew/Genesect had on the TCG Meta and we peek at the restrited duos that cracked the top 8 of the VGC.

It's been a long time since we've pushed out an episode. And now is the time where we will begin anew. There's a new face among the team in Mikey, a TCG Judge with a plethora of knowledge on the game. He joins our host Dozer instead of Zac who has decided to quit Pokémon for the foreseeable future. With a new co-host a new era has dawned for the Champions Podcast. A new Champions duo has formed. And they're here to bring you the results from the latest results for the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Video Game Championships.

Episode got delayed a few days due to technical issues, but...you know how it goes. We're back from a long hiatus because it's POWER RANKINGS time. Per usual, Zac and Dozer sit down to give their opinions on the opinions of people more qualified to talk about what they're talking about.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before Players Cup results were out. Zac and Dozer sit down to chat about how the Metas have been going. Not much has changed on the TCG Side of things, with the same decks we've been talking about for almost a year now doing well. While over on the VGC Side of things, the restricted Meta is playing out just about as well as everyone expected. While there isn't much excitement, there are still some cool things worth discussing.

So the Pokemon Direct was a thing that happened, and we're getting Gen 4 remakes. But are they the remakes you expected? Also, what would this have in store for the future of competitive play, especially with Pokemon Arceus on the horizon? All this and more on this week's episode.

Dozer and Zac are joined by friend of the show and renewed Pokémon Podcaster JollyByNature of Blast Burn Radio, a show that is returning later this spring, to talk about the Series 8 Metagame and how things are shaping up with what restricted mons are really good, which ones are okay but outclassed, and which ones are honestly just really bad.

Zac and Dozer sit down to talk about the new Series 8 Rules in a really unscripted casual discussion. Overall there's a bit of mixed feelings about using only a single restricted Pokémon, but they have seemingly resigned themselves to their fate. There is excitement over how the meta may develop, while also some apprehension as to what playing in this will be like.
