Dozer and Zac sit down to see what Portland brought for the Pokemon VGC and TCG scenes. While in VGC it's not too much spectacular, outside of an amazing Palkia team taking 2nd place. TCG showed us what the expanded format would look like on the Regional level where we see literal trashbags beating down birds.

With Richmond Regionals and separate Special Events for both Pokemon Trading Card Game and Video Game Championships under our belt, Zac and Dozer sit down to go over the results they have available since we don't have deck-lists for TCG and VGC is a lot of the same, but with 200% more Jumpluff. We aren't discussing the Pokemon Leaks by the way, so feel safe to listen all the way through.

Without much going on in the competitive scene as everyone anxiously awaits the drop of Pokemon Sword and Shield, we reach into the archives to pull out Zac and Dozer reviewing the impacts certain Mega Pokemon had on both the VGC and TCG Metagames in their time.

With the release of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield drawing closer, Zac and Dozer decide to look at the pokemon Confirmed to be making it into Galar and seeing what they have to offer for VGC 2020 in terms of moves and unique options they could bring in a limited Regional format. We also make the assumption that move tutors won't be available in these games, and things look...interesting.

Dozer and Zac are joined by Jolly By Nature of Blast Burn Radio to talk about one of Pokemon's most famous challenge runs: Nuzlockes. They go over the basics of what is a Nuzlocke, some extra rules and challenges that the Blast Burn Radio team uses, and even some fun hero and derp moments that have happened in different Nuzlocke runs for everyone. At the end there is some Pokemon Sword and Shield news related to Gyms within the game, plus an addendum that Dozer made in editing to clear up confusion.

Dozer and Zac sit down for a big one after two regionals and a Special Event threw the fall season into full swing. We take a look at the top teams from the Video Game Championships, where Dozer's dreams of rain were dashed by sunny days. And then over in the Trading Card Game where Zac's picks for what would win were far from the Perfection that actually existed. And yes, Dozer had too much fun writing this episode description.

We may have missed last week due to life not going our way, and both Zac and Dozer might be sick now but that won't keep them from missing more than one week of recording. And we're back to event coverage! With the Melbourne E-sports Open and the Sheffield Regionals over the last week, Dozer and Zac sit down to see what the best of the Trading Card Game and Video Game Championships have to offer. And we take a look at how things might shape up for the TCG and VGC 2020 seasons.
