The Max Battle System fundamentally changed the daily routines of countless Trainers, with deeper levels of engagement and strategy trickling their way into different mechanics like defending Gyms, trading, and walking Routes. Hats off to MAX OUT!   Dual Destiny is our next Season and it is hitting the ground running in December with a packed slate of content. We revisit the conversation of how demanding this game has become on our calendars, with more and more destination in game events. Pair that with nearly all events having a ticketed component, FOMO is sure to make an appearance at some point this Season.   December weekends are packed with small window events while over arching events span the weekdays. Trainers will have something to do every single weekend in December. Maintaining a game/life balance will be tested this month, and it will be a challenge for some to stave off the burnout. Is there ever a point where too much in game content is too much? We aren’t sure but if there is a month to help us find out it will be this December.   Details on the Unova Tour have dropped which opens the door for a great conversation. We dig into how IRL Communities have more events than ever to build upon for their locals, and how even if a Community wants to host 3 events a YEAR, they have good reason to do so. We are confident that the Max Out Season was a catalyst for getting back to in-person play, and the future is bright for those Trainers that are willing to embrace it and get outside to play.   [email protected]     Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639    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    Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Xander   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 1996-2024 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.
