290. Embracing The Future

Lured Up Podcast 290 Record Date - 11/12/2023 Publish Date - 11/15/2023   As we approach the end of the season, the amount of events is still packing the calendar. The Festival of Lights brought on some fun spawns and visuals, and Mega Garchomp Raid Day brought Trainers outside for another fun day of IRL gameplay. We have noticed a ton of positive Community Ambassador posts showing off incredible turnouts and great vibes, but that stop the Twitter mob from being completely offended. When Ken posts about how he thinks the Remote Raid Pass limit was a great thing, the mob went on the attack, or should we say, felt attacked. We dig into how many on Twitter are still feeling bent about the RRP changes and the virtue signalers are back out in force.   There is plenty of Community Day news this week with Niantic sharing the next season’s save the dates, as well as announcing Mareep as our Community Day Classic featured Pokémon. As we approach the Winter months here in the North East, it may take a strong showing from Niantic to keep Trainers going outside in the cold to play IRL events.   Fashion Week is the next event on the calendar and it brings Shiny Gothita, new costume Pokémon, and a ton of other shiny chases to check. Fashionable Dragonite may become a fan favorite, but there are nearly a dozen additional costumed Pokémon to pick from. While Ken enjoys the hunt, we all know how Adam really feels about events like this.   Finally we wrap up with some miscellaneous news including the expansion of the Pokémon GO Challenge to Europe, a McDonald's sponsorship in Canada, and a tease about the Lured Up Gym Leader Challenge in our Discord.
