Pokémon GO Podcast Ep 304 – “Where we're going, we don't need rails”

The title is brought to you by RockGodOfPodcasting Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another fantastic episode! We have an amazing discussion of the week even though it goes off the rails a bit. The community (especially sivillianonbace) had some amazing ideas; most of those ideas revolved around Niantic giving us more opportunities to get more pokecoins. Sivillianonbace had a wonderful idea for reworking gyms to include gym leaders. Joe and Charles brainstormed a new nest-like concept where some parks have rotating biomes. Basically, we feel that Niantic needs to do something to breathe life back into this game. Staraptor community day is a bit of a disappointment, but make sure you get some in case he gets buffed in the future. The Silph Road has done yet another deep dive study into the game and determined that the odds off getting a lucky trade by trading old Pokémon is capped at 20% for Pokémon that are 3 years old or older. New assets have been pushed into the game including a new Buzzwole sticker that Charles absolutely loves. All of that incredible content, and of course your feedback and comments!
