Welcome to Alola! There is a lot to be grateful for with the arrival of Sun and Moon. Many features within the games have received updates but we are here to talk about changes to old Pokemon themselves. In addition to covering abilities, attacks, and stats, we provide our first weather forecast for the new format. The beginning of 2017 will be wild, so we are taking baby steps before we hit the ground running. [Original Release Date: November 23, 2016]

Generation 6 introduced several changes to how we played VGC, with perhaps the most significant being Mega Evolution. Zach Droegkamp hops on the show to help us pay one final tribute to Mega Pokemon. In this episode, we cover the impact they have had on the game over the last 3 years. With VGC 2017 removing the use of Mega Stones, it is finally time to say goodbye.
