Mega Improvement

Lured Up Podcast 146 Record Date - 9/3/2020 Publish Date - 9/5/2020   Plenty of topics to cover today both from the Newsroom and from the Community! We will recap what many trainers thought to be a relaxing week of Pokémon GO. With Heatran still in Legendary Raids and Eevee taking the Spotlight, there wasn’t too much FOMO out there to worry the player base. With the issues that faced the launch of Mega Evolutions, it seemed like Trainers were taking it easy there too.   The break may seem short lived  as we have a very full month of September including 3 weeks of Mega Events, 5 Spotlight Hours, and changes to the Mega mechanics that will get people excited to Mega Evolve! We will break down all of the news, updates, and best practices to help make your September as efficient as possible!   On the community front, we take a look at how the Pokémon GO community on Twitter has devolved into a bit of an angry mob, with some content creators as the focus. We discuss how feelings of optimism and positivity by creators has become synonymous with being a shill or a sell out. To clear the air, we break down our relationship with Niantic, and explain our perspective on critical coverage of the game.   Mega September Week 1 - http://bit.ly/LU146Mega Updates to Mega Raids - http://bit.ly/LU146Update  Porygon Community Day - http://bit.ly/LU146Porygon GBL Season 4 - http://bit.ly/LU146GBL4    Support the show by shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Pokémon Professor Network Merch Store - https://bit.ly/PPNMerchStore  Secret League Pin - http://bit.ly/SecretLeaguePin  Google Calendar - https://bit.ly/LuredUpGoogleCalendar  Willow’s Almanac - https://bit.ly/LU127WillowsAlmanac    [email protected]    Inappropriate Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639  http://pokemonprofessor.com  https://www.luredup.com http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetPatreon  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetFacebook  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetTwitter  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetYouTube  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetInstagram  http://bit.ly/LuredUpTumblr  http://bit.ly/LuredUpApplePodcasts   http://bit.ly/LuredUpSpotify  http://bit.ly/LuredUpStitcher  http://bit.ly/LuredUpGooglePodcasts  http://bit.ly/LuredUpIHeartRadio  https://bit.ly/LUPodchaser    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 1996-2020Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and Pokémon Professor are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.   #pokemon #pokemongo #podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
