266. Thank You Silph Road

Lured Up Podcast 266 Record Date - 05/12/2023 Publish Date - 05/16/2023   The emotional roller coaster continues to rise and fall as we have another very dramatic week in Pokémomn GO. The Silph Road has announced that it will be going dark on August 1st and the entire Community is gutted. We commiserate on how its a shame that it takes something like this to bring the Community together, but here we are. Unfortunately, some are using this as ammunition to attack Niantic.   We did have a pretty busy news week with the Valorous Hero event, and a weekend of Regidrago Raids and GO Battle League. While it would keep Trainers busy, we aren’t exactly sure it is what they wish they were doing.    In other news we discuss the Global Wayfarer Reviewer Challenge taking place in Spain and how some QoL updates in Wayfarer will make this easier than ever to participate in.    Finally, Ken briefly shares his experience during his trip to Niantic this week to test out a new game feature. With the state of the current core Community, hopefully Niantic has some serious tricks up their sleeve in order to make the Community happy again.   Mystic Hero - https://bit.ly/LU266MysticHero  An Instinctive Hero - https://bit.ly/LU263InstinctiveHero Valorous Hero - https://bit.ly/LU266Valorous  Regidrago Elite Raids - https://bit.ly/LU263Regidrago  GO Battle Day: Stardust - https://bit.ly/LU266GBDay The Silph Road -https://bit.ly/LU266TSR  Community Ambassador Program -https://bit.ly/LU266Ambassador  Wayfarer Challenge - https://bit.ly/LU266Wayfarer  Niantic Visit - https://bit.ly/LU266Shill    Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Pokémon Professor Network Merch Store - https://bit.ly/PPNMerchStore    [email protected]     Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639    https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.
