Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Joe is flying solo in this episode, but still handles it like a boss. Niantic seems to have completely forgotten that Pokémon GO is a game. Where is the fun, Niantic? Raid day had an "issue" where it started at 11am and lasted for 6 hours. Niantic should just make all of our "day" events like raid days and community days be 6 hours by default. Niantic has announced part 1 of the Halloween event, but they are including not 1, but 2 paid ticketed parts of the event. It's almost like they are trying to increase their profits after the community has voted with their wallets. Maybe they should just give us back the features that they took away. Chandelure with Poltergeist is weaker than Chandelure with Shadow Ball. I suspect Poltergeist will get buffed. It's hard to take GBL seriously with all the lag/latency issues it has. If you do partake in PvP, we have an interesting infographic with meta trend data. The Silph Road collected data to determine how rare Ditto are. All of that incredible content, and of course your feedback and comments!
