Lured Up Podcast 281 Record Date - 9/2/2023 Publish Date - 9/4/2023   Just like that we have Hidden Gems coming to a close! We recap our last week of gameplay including our experience with Global GO Fest and how the Season is ending on a high note! Niantic isn’t slowing the pace down at all as we have a brand new Season to discuss, Adventures Abound! An absolutely packed September will keep us very occupied as we adjust to the encounter and bonus shift for the next three months.   Some of the most exciting early news on the Season is that we have the ability to earn another Master Ball! This comes to us through a very lengthy Timed Research which reopens the conversation around difficulty in Pokémon GO. We have mentioned before that investments of time, daily play, and money are the typical factors that  make this game easier or harder for its Trainers. This new Research will test how we combine those three factors to complete the significantly long tasks!   The new Season also brings a jump over Gen 8 to Paldea, as we have a fresh beginning featuring the Paldean starters! Niantic has made this feel like a fresh starting point for new Trainers and a way to really spice things up for existing Trainers. We discuss our thoughts on how Galar is taking the back seat to Paldea, and how a bunch of new Pokémon being released is an exciting way to get Trainers in front of their phones.   Adventures Abound also brings us a very large GBL move update with new moves and a ton of availability that is sure to shake up the meta! We will have to see over time who the new winners are and how the cups play out over the next three months!   We invite you to join our Twitter Space on Sunday, 9/10 to discuss the Season and the current State of the Game! Look for a topic list on our social this week and we look forward to chatting with you then!   GO Fest Global - https://bit.ly/LU281Global  Adventures Abound - https://bit.ly/LU281Season  Master Ball Research - https://bit.ly/LU281MasterBall  September Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU281September  Charmander Classic - https://bit.ly/LU281Charmander Paldean Adventure - https://bit.ly/LU281PaldeanAdventure  Ultra Unlock: Paldea - https://bit.ly/LU281UltraUnlock  GBL Update - https://bit.ly/LU281GBL Twitter Space: State of the Game - https://bit.ly/LU281StateOfTheGame    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.
