    305. Unsustainability Week
    Apr 26 2024
    Lured Up Podcast 305 Stream Date - 4/23/2024 Publish Date - 4/26/2024 When the Rediscover GO trailer dropped the Community was hyped and social was filled with speculation and hope of how the game would be updated. The Rediscover Yourself campaign was first up, and we are sad to say that it was one of Niantic’s biggest misses to date. This isn’t poor servers or a latency filled experience, but rather a slew of unpopular decisions that Niantic has made to advance their new Avatar update. We will take a dive down the Community rabbit hole at the end of the episode. We start things off with a recap of our Bellsprout Community Day experiences, and how triple Stardust is always a popular bonus. Our first gameplay story of the week is about how Sustainability Week has changed over the years, and unfortunately not for the better. We look back to 2021 when the event actually had a real world component to it by partnering with non profits to promote cleaning up the environment. Each year since then the event has lost some of its magic, culminating in this year’s event, which seems to be falling flat. Being overshadowed by the Rediscover Kanto spawns didn’t help things either. Cleffa Hatch Day will be rounding out the month taking place during the final weekend of April. The big story of the week takes us back to the Community reaction to the Rediscover Yourself update. From missing genders, to clipping assets, to a very strange art style, there isn’t much if anything that is getting high praises this week. While inclusivity may have been the goal of this update, it may have backfired. We look to a pair of articles from GO Hub that cut to the chase and identify many of the issues that the Community has with the update. The site also touches on the sensitive nature and purpose of the update outside of simply an avatar graphical update. The backlash online has been significant, and Niantic has been getting dragged on this one, with a lot of toxic energy fueling some pretty negative stuff. To be plain, this week has been a disaster. We want to be clear that we really believed in this update, and see the importance of greater options when it comes to character creation. We also identify however, that the execution of the update completely replacing the existing Avatar aesthetic rather than simply being in addition to it, has us all scratching our heads as to why this Niantic handled it like this. There are other important things to discuss as well regarding the sale of digital goods and how purchased items may not look or fit the avatar in the same way that originally influenced the purchase. There is a lot to unpack here.

    304. Size Matters
    Apr 13 2024
    Lured Up Podcast 304 Streamed Live - 4/9/24 Audio/VoD - 4/13/24 This was a massive week for both events and announcements! We begin today’s episode with a recap of our last week of gameplay including Sizable Surprises and Bagon Community Day. Wh will have a few days of vanilla spawns before we hit the Bug Out and the debut of Mega Heracross. We will get you prepped and ready to get through the first half of April. Niantic struggled with the timing of the announcement, but Bellsprout will be the April’s Community Day Pokémon. While maybe not every Trainer’s favorite pick, the fact that Victreebel will learn Magical Leaf is pretty fitting for the 4/20 event date. We open a discussion about the level cap and how it has been nearly 4 years since the GO Beyond update. It surely seems as if Niantic has been throwing a lot of XP our way, which may mean a level cap increase is imminent. We riff on if an increase is due, and the impact it could have on both new and veteran Trainers. After being teased during the Ultra Beast Incursion in Los Angeles back in 2022, Necrozma has been announced to debut at Pokémon GO Fest 2024. While it may create more questions than it answers, this announcement is pretty exciting and just gave us something to set our Raiding sights on in NYC. We close things out with a Mega Heracross Raid Guide and Battle Party. With Mega Heracross getting a Raid Day and entering the Mega Raid rotation, you are going to want to get a few hundred Mega Energy to place a few Heracross into your Mega Rotation. Being double weak to flying, it is time to bring out those Mega Rayquaza that you worked so hard for last year!

    303. Boss's Orders
    Apr 8 2024
    Lured Up Podcast 303 Streamed Live - 4/2/2024 Published - 4/6/2024 Trainers saw Team GO Rocket Take Over their games last week and we will recap how we did during the event! With Sizeable Surprises on the horizon, April is shaping up to be another packed month of events. We also have Part 2 of the Wonder Ticket to work through, which has proven to offer some great value in the grand scheme of things. April Fools brought us an Excellent Opportunity to get frustrated over TImed Research, with a very divisive task to work through. Is making 25 nice throws in a row too hard? Probably not, however it was frustrating to fail and be forced to start over. Let us know how you felt about this task and if you want to see more like it! Changes to AR have been pushed through and the Community suddenly cares about AR. We digress, but it is definitely a hot topic as Buddy interactions are a bit less engaging with being forced to use AR+ is a bit cumbersome. We can only hope that a new rollout of AR features will be coming and make sense as to why this change has happened in the first place. We wrap things up with a Raid Guide and Battle Party for the Ultra Beast dui of Kartana and Celesteela. This pair is easy to Raid together as you can use a single party for both bosses. We put together our lists and will make quick work of these Ultra Beasts in the coming week.
