267. Master's Balls
Lured Up Podcast 267 Record Date - 5/17/2023 Publish Date - 05/19/2023 With the HearUs campaign still lingering in the air, the game itself is keeping things moving along at a blazing pace. With a flawless Regidrago make up day and Valorous Hero events, it is safe to say the core game is working great. GBL is another story as it continues to be plagued with issues which led to some backlash on GO Battle Day. A $1 Timed Research that was very poorly received by the Community even led to Niantic o...

258. What A Disaster
Lured Up Podcast 258 Record Date - 3/14/23 Publish Date - 3/17/23 Where to begin! This last week was not positive for community sentiment! While the Festival of Colors event was well received, a disastrous Elite Raid showing diminished any positivity that the community at large had in them.

It was a stress and anxiety filled Raid event, and the majority of Trainers left feeling terrible about the game and their experienc...

Lured Up Podcast 255 Record Date - 2/21/23 Publish Date - 2/24/23 With a not so smooth GO Tour: Hoenn in Vegas, the Community came into this week with a dash of salt.
