Lured Up Podcast 240 Record Date - 11/4/2022 Publish Date - 11/5/2022 This has been a packed week of events, news, and unrest in the Community! Even though the Halloween Event was a hit, it was overshadowed by issues with Bluetooth devices and a less than stellar Dev Diary. We break everything down including our experiences with Dia de Muertos and the current spawn and Raid pools. The November content update has been announced and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be a great month, even though we...

Lured Up Podcast 239 Record Date - 10/27/2022 Publish Date - 10/29/2022 Another week, another reason for the Community to have strong feelings! After having a rocky launch of Elite Raids, the Zorua Spotlight Hour Surprise crashed and burned by the time it made it out of New Zealand. We discuss how things went wrong and what we would hope would happen as a result! Outside of Zorua, the Halloween Event has been well received and we look forward to the second part of the event this week. Dia de Mue...

Lured Up Podcast 238 Record Date - 10/19/2022 Publish Date - 10/23/2022 We have another packed show this week having a consistent drip feed of event information released over the last week. This is on top of a busy week of gameplay as the Festival of Lights wrapped up and Elite Raids were launched. We had a bit of everything this week. While Elite Raids looked like an amazing idea on paper, unfortunately their release did not go smoothly in-game. From overloads of locked out gyms, the overlap of...

Lured Up Podcast 237 Record Date - 10/11/2022 Publish Date - 10/14/2022 As the Evolving Stars event wraps up, many Trainers seem to be relieved as this event didn’t bring too much excitement. While Xerneas was a fun chase, we still have time to hunt it, but the spawns were pretty lack luster. We have a few days of vanilla spawns and then the Festival of Lights comes in, which looks to be a bit better in the Pokémon department. While Litwick Community Day overlaps with the Festival of Lights, unf...

Lured Up Podcast 234 Record Date - 9/22/2022 Publish Date - 9/26/2022 We had a few events cycle through the schedule last week and there is more on the horizon! We start by recapping our Roggenrola Community Day and our thoughts on the Test Your Mettle Event. Could the steady stream of new Pokémon being released keep players engaged or will it fizzle out? One thing for sure, with Fashion Week coming next week, there isn’t too much time to rest. Our Poke the Bear this week covers the in-game econ...

Lured Up Podcast 233 Record Date - 9/15/2022 Publish Date - 9/16/2022 As we reflect on the last week of gameplay we learn that Adam really hasn’t been having a lot of fun with the game lately. While not sure about the fun part, Ken is still running the game all day long. The anti climactic Clefairy Commotion didn’t really hit the spot Trainers were looking for either. So was this a downward trending week for Niantic? It was if you take a look at the new boxes! Test Your Mettle kicks off this wee...

Lured Up Podcast 232 Record Date - 9/8/2022 Publish Date - 9/9/2022 There was plenty to talk about this week as we had our first experiences with the Season of Light! After a few days of vanilla spawns, an Inkay Limited Research and our normal weekly rotations, we have a pretty good feel for the Season. So far it has been overwhelmingly positive, even though the boxes in the shop may make us ill. Clefairy Commotion is this weekend and we still don’t know what to expect. It just seems like someth...

Taking the TIkTok and short form video world by storm, Poké Daxi brings a new energy, style, and format to a content scene that has been dominated by a few select creators for years.

It had it all and kept Trainers happy with a consistent barrage of spawns, research, and raids! Let’s hope that the upcoming Pokémon Worlds Event will have what it takes to keep us occupied until the GO Fest Finale. With a Costume Pikachu at its helm, we aren’t too sure how this event will be received! Prime Gaming Bundles will be ramping up beginning in September...

Lured Up Podcast 229 Record Date - 8/10/2022 Publish Date - 8/12/2022 GO Fest Season is officially behind us and Niantic has to fill a tall order of keeping the momentum going. With the Bug Out Event happening this week, we will have to see if the diverse spawns, new Mega, and the return of Genesect will have enough to keep us satisfied. Perhaps the Ultra Unlock from GO Fest: Sapporo will be the spice we need over the next week to keep us on the grind. It has been a long time since we took a div...

One of us was stuck at work for most of the day and the other put in 26,000 steps and 1,000 catches! This event has split the community with many thinking that shiny rates were too light, with others thinking it felt just right. Either way we had a diverse gameplay experience with customizable narrative and difficulty, which made the event feet fresh and...
