336. Game-Life Imbalance

Lured Up Podcast 336 Record Date - 2/12/25 Publish Date - 2/14/25   Happy Valentine’s Day! We love all of you for the incredible support you have given us over the years! We hope you have an awesome day!   Plenty to recap this week as we are coming out of the Strong Yet Small event, Community Day weekend, and the start of the Beloved Buddies. With what seems less like filler events, this last week has brought us new Pokémon, Shinies, and move sets. The calendar doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, as this weekend brings us Hoopa Unbound Raid Day.    We put together a little Raid Guide and Battle Party for Hoopa and encourage all Trainers to prepare 1 or 2 Battle Parties in advance. With the ability to dui, you will want to make sure you maximize your time in the Raid to get the highest damage output possible. It’s not often that Bug Pokémon take the stage, but Hoopa will be taking double super effective damage from them this weekend!   The latest Save the Date blog has the community talking as it is becoming harder and harder to maintain a healthy game-life balance. Should it be left to Niantic to manage our priorities, or does the onus fall on the Trainer to decide how they spend their time. It’s a great topic and one that we feel will continue to be a part of the zeitgeist for the foreseeable future.   This month is still packed with events as we have Scattered To The Winds, the Road to Unova, and of course Unova Tour IRL and GLobal closing out the month. Is it even possible for the average Trainer to keep up with the schedule, or should they not even be concerned with playing every event? The FOMO is real, and it may be time for many Trainers to make decisions about their priorities.   In closing we briefly discuss Fuecoco COmmunity Day which will be the first of the next season. GO Tour: Unova will feature some Notable Trainers that you can meet and hang out with. Finally, a unique partnership between PGO and Major League Baseball will have baseball fans whipping their phones out at Stadiums across the United States.   Keep Training, Trainers!   Strong Yet Small - https://bit.ly/LU335StrongYetSmall Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU335CommunityDay  Beloved Buddies - https://bit.ly/LU335BelovedBuddies  Hoopa Unbound Raid Day - https://bit.ly/LU335Hoopa  Hoopa Counters GOHub - https://bit.ly/LU336HoopaGOHub  Hoopa Counters Pokébattler - https://bit.ly/LU336HoopaPokebattler  Scattered To The Winds - https://bit.ly/LU335Scattered  Save The Dates - https://bit.ly/LU336SaveTheDates  Fuecoco Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU336Fuecoco  GO Tour Notable Trainers - https://bit.ly/LU336Notable  PGOxMLB - https://bit.ly/LU336MLB    [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.
