Charles is on his own but not alone. He’s grabbed Carmela Smith and Chris Wisdom, from the local Pokémon Center, to share their experiences and bring you all the news that’s fit to print. Joe pops up later in the show to lend his expertise and insights. This week we talk data mining’s latest rush, Pokémon trainers augment a criminal’s reality, second chances, the latest Japanese partners with Niantic, hoaxes, meta changes, and Soylent P(SPOILER ALERT: it’s Pokémon, Soylent P is Pokémon!!). All of that, and YOUR feedback!
A big “WASSUUUUUUUUUUP” to our newest Patrons: Rob Duvall and Elizabeth Murray! We’re so honored that you believe in us and hope to exceed your expectations!!

How do you get the 100 bonse points but not the exsolent throw one?
Love the show. It is Nice, Great and Excellent…
A question for the team. About hidden IV. The defence and attack score from 0-15. Do they apply when the Pokemon is either defending/attacking a Gym or in a battle against another Pokemon. As you can imagine, this could be important. A 15 Attack 0 Defence and 15 Stamina would not be penalized if these apply to attacking a Gym versus the attack phase against another pokemon (be it attacking or defending a gym).
Thanks
