316. Banned To The Bone

Lured Up Podcast 316 Record Date - 8/8/2024 Publish Date - 8/11/2024 If battling Team GO Rocket is your thing then you have been lucky all week. With Adventure Week being Taken Over by Team GO Rocket, this week was packed with new Shadows and the chase for Giovanni and his Shadow Cresselia. The big news of the week however, warns you not to do too many Team GO Rocket encounters as it could get you banned. We dive in headfirst and talk about how this ban is not too difficult to trigger if you are spending a day grinding the event. Mega Rayquaza came back in non-Elite Raids and it ended up being a successful day of gaming for many. With a Raid Hour format and Elite Raid style scheduling, it turned out to be an all new type of Raid Event. Time will tell if this will become the new normal, but it definitely felt great to have some scheduled and dedicated Raid windows. Beldum Community Day Classic has been announced and this Pokémon will absolutely bring Trainers out to play. With Mega Metagross on the horizon, plus excellent use in PvP and PvE, this is a chance for different disciplines of Trainers to come together for a Community Day experience. We wrap up with a conversation about some typos in Niantic Tweets, which when corrected, become easy bait for the Twitter mob to gobble up. Over the last few weeks we have seen a ton of activity come from from Niantic Support, retracting and clarifying many bits of communication along with explaining gameplay issues. Sometimes, it would be better to NOT hear from Niantic.
