277. Turning Heel

Lured Up Podcast 277 - Turning Heel Record Date - 7/29/23 Publish Date - 7/31/23   The Pokémon GO News cycle has been moving very fast with a ton of news coming from Niantic. We recap our last week of gameplay and experiences with Routes before digging in to the latest announcements. The focus was almost exclusively International with news about the Air Adventures Event as well as three announced City Safari Events. The footprint this game has globally is pretty awesome.   Glittering Garden will be our first event of August and brings us a global preview of GO Fest Osaka and London. This idea is really fun and helps Trainers around the world feel included in the GO Fest fun.    Are you ready? The long awaited Raid lobby “Ready Up” button is starting to roll out. This has to be one of the most requested QoL updates we have seen over the years. We can’t wait until we have our hands on it!    Our Poke The Bear this week is on the spicy side, and it opens up an interesting dialogue. We asked if there was a noticeable shift in tone and content from creators. With more creators airing their feelings out openly, it seems like some are embracing the negative engagement. We are split on how it makes us feel because while we want to be supportive of the game, we also want to be entertained by fun content.   Blaze New Trails - https://bit.ly/LU276Blaze Routes - https://bit.ly/LU276Routes  Glittering Garden - https://bit.ly/LU277Garden Air Adventures - https://bit.ly/LU277AirAdventures  Catch Card Latias - https://bit.ly/LU277Latias  JT Valor - https://bit.ly/LU277JTValor  City Safari - https://bit.ly/LU277Safari  Ready Up - https://bit.ly/LU277ReadyUp  Poke The Bear - https://bit.ly/LU277PokeTheBear Mystic7 - https://bit.ly/LU277Mystic7 Mystic7 Video - https://bit.ly/Lu277Mystic7Video  The Trainer Club - https://bit.ly/LU277TrainerClub  Zyonik - https://bit.ly/LU277Zyonik  JRHonda - https://bit.ly/LU277JRHonda  ZoeTwoDots - https://bit.ly/LU277Zoe    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    [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.
