Welcome to bug you occupy cast where we talk about all the fun stuff in the weekend professional show up. We when they're sick. Yeah, so that happens but I had run gonna podcasting 40% shows up tonight and I'm doing the best I can but the hundred percent, irr, you know the what I don't know what you catch all the time.What you really want is a hundred percent Jarred your your 40 percent here and 60% Bluster. I resent that I think represent or represent. You know what Joe. I'm out. Let's talk about some experiences of the week. Did you have any experiences I did I pull up my photo library, but first I kind of spoil it because I thought it might be asking the question. I actually had the time. I don't remember where I was but your life I can't even with you tonight man. I don't have the extra 10% to get to the 52 put up. Whereas I had Mountain Dew, but I was somewhere where I was sitting right next to. Poke stop and it wasn't that my Sunday gig but it was I don't remember what it's somewhere. I don't normally go. I can't remember where it was right now my brains fried but the boss kept popping up the the female can't remember her name and I went and what's going on it. Yeah, and I remember I went in once and I got slaughtered. Maybe it was a caught it is this little it was a little Pokemon. I thought you remember this whole lot better than I am. But yeah, I didn't expect to get sick. Then. I got sick from the time that did this to now so I can't Sierra right Sierra. Yeah, they're missed Sneasel. No, that's how you get from Sierra Sneasel. My brain I will I will get up in a minute. But basically it was a small Pokemon and then there's I mean then it was Onyx. No, it was all types. I can't think I'm sure it was Taylor. No Stantler. It was Stiller and then it was onyx. and then it was I remember something else and I mean I could barely get past Onyx and then I get slaughtered in the third round by took the generic team had offered me and I messed up. Yeah. Well, no, I'd like to do that just to test out just to see because a lot of times I might have even time to mess with it. But this time I did so I changed my team up a little bit but back in did a little better almost got past know. It was under the last one was all it was honest and it was Tyranitar so Stantler Onyx Tyranitar, and I sat there and I googled Stantler counters and it gave me some ideas and then I went in and Googled on its counters then I Googled are tratar counters. And basically it was all punching types dude. I and I passed one of my not a venture. Last but the special ones and we could I power it up. I wouldn't I power it up my butt chop that had the moves it suggested add quick. Can you sure you were fighting one of the bosses? Uh-huh because it took away my radar and I went why is my radar gone? And you said you fought a boss now just fighting the boss. No, you have to beat the boss. Yeah. You have to beat the boss it took it away. So I knew that and it's not fought a bunch of officers in Lost maybe this cliff and I've seen a couple of them. Thank you. He might have been Cliff but it was Taylor Onyx Tyranitar and and so max out my Machop. I really cool hariyama and I maxed him out and I'll secure memory my third was that took in there by Maxim out and they had basically the powers that were suggested and change the order low Kingler danglars. Wonder what I suggested. It's I went in and I had tried a few different times ran like four different options I could take to do all these counters and ultimately I swapped it up where Machamp was in the middle. I did it by accident. I didn't mean to swap my buddy because my chant was first. Oh screw you in that lucky relicanth. I love it man, but you're getting 2 hat is this - this is my experience in the week. You show that in a minute and I'll mess up with it. So anyway, I beat it. I beat the boss and I'm like cool. Give me The Statler that Rick's face and I did not get a state learned that Rex face so unhappy issue there but we're about you saying you'd beat up Cliff is that that's the one we saw proposed your face onto that's true because he does kind of look like me little bit. All right, let me find something's wrong with my stuffy album. Okay. Well we are well you're having issues. I I imagine she's already spoiled part of my experience. You did it. You put it on the screen. No, it was all your fault. I did get a lucky relicanth from a trade this week. So that is pretty awesome. So within this last month, I've found someone to trade me a relicanth and a chatot. So that is very nice at the tail end of the stream, but I don't think it was on the podcast I caught. Hey shiny EV so that was pretty awesome last week. That's nice. And then the Sunday Community days are currently happening. Right when I'm at church. Yeah, it was that I was at church. I dropped a lure on the on the stop that we have at my church. Yep, same here and I popped an incense and I was able to get get enough enough candies to evolve to a pole eons. And one of those was a shiny I ended up getting to shinies. Okay, so that is part of it. I thought I had something else but I definitely got I did the same thing my things on Sunday mornings and I'm sitting right next to a stop. I lured it up. I ended up getting enough regular Piplup that did involve the empoli on to get which is my first Empoleon. And to get the move on him then I actually I'm not going to shiny. I'm not going to shiny at all. I'm getting disappointed because the Chinese aren't coming and right as we finish up our stuff and I know you have to move but like you Joe, I'm kind of locked into place it only movement against a little bit of drift by was getting pepper plops just not shinies, but it's like I start moving around and and across where the area was and going out to the parking lot I got Couple of shinies. I think it kept them all try to change this to you know, I can just do shiny. Can I just type shine? I'm not I have wasn't sure. So yeah, I got three shinies which I've already evolved for Chinese evolved one up the print plop and I do and I was I'm not going to the power by I'm going to evolve up to the Empoleon shiny and and went quietly be enough to get a Cadillac had to set right the first first evolution the second evolution and if there's a third the third evolution if it's a shiny but I did get the 3-day move and now I have also the shiny as well. So that was that was pretty awesome. And then I kiss one. There was another thing by I leveled up with my buddy shield on I got this. Okay. So you do I don't play them a lot right back for you in the candy. So walk out and hang out with me and then you play with them which is basically shield on you just bend his head and gives happy and I always take a picture right after that now delete the picture. Well Snoopy showed up. I knew his name when he showed up. Yeah, Miracles mirror go showed up. So I got smeargle bombed now what they catch him and that right moment. He just swatted it and I didn't know we had involved. I think the message our friendship has evolved. So he swats it and all the sudden shield on comes not just not today. Whatever your name is. And yeah got it is so much fun to watch that. So I got another smear go. I got a buddy who helped me out and bring me presents and that's cool because he brings me like been at berries and Yeah, I'm looking so there's a smear goal that beat that boss which was a lot of fun figuring that I mean, I had to look it up. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna memorize this stuff but I thought I had another new maybe that was it maybe empoli on was the only new one and that's why I didn't take the picture because I never talked about the oh no. No, I do have it. I don't know why don't pictures but where I was God, I wish I could remember where I was when I was having this happen the same time as fighting the boss there. Shadow and whoever was with like give me five minutes. I'll be right back and check that out Joe. There you go. I got me a throw. I got myself a throat me sell for my sake. I got me suffer through the governor. And then I saw another fish-shaped Pokemon Shadow and I went pick them up and I love trash you got yourself some trash. I did I got me at rubbish. So I knew there was something else. I don't know where my pictures weren't yet. I'm this close to getting Shield. The evolve with the candies, so I'm not going to stop walking him to do do that that that force people to Walk and Walk and Walk. You know, what if they walk faster they could keep up with me while I was driving, you know, it's not his fault that the wall so much. So, yeah, you just pick a flying so much you had rush but still we get out of the speed lock it, Joe don't even play I still want you to put magic carpets your buddy and just watch you dragging me either. I did that I did that. That's the first thing I did when they release money's actually. The axioms pop-up blocker block down the street. So yeah, man. Oh I got another I think this is another one. What's the date on this? V so I may not report it last week by a palm is that my second was like two weeks ago. I don't think I reported it by God. I got a second date palm shiny. So now I was shiny a prominent shiny and bomb as well. There you go. So I'm doing all right. I'm doing alright on the shinies. It's been a good two weeks for me man. And I'm at the point that I could claim the box, but since I know it's Lapras, I ain't gonna do it. I wait till rolls over What was the rest of your experience sir? Oh, I like what you did there with the phone. That's awesome. Do you know I know I thought maybe I cut you off you don't have anymore with that? Okay. No, but I've pulled up the experiences of the week here on my phone. So that those that are here on Twitch twitch.tv slash Pokemon go podcast can follow along and see the experiences of the week and how else would they be able to see that for not live? Well you could be The patron patreon.com slash Pokemon go podcast and that gets you access to our Discord. So this one here from Popeye. He hatched an axe you so pretty nice there that schools available. I was at the Dragon Con meeting. You just triggered me. We said dragon. I thought Jack got me talking with our friend Garrett, right and Leo and I like it was before the meeting in the hey. There's a throw Shadow like in the other Lobby. I'm gonna get it. They were okay. That's like they absent Rising it come with me. So that's where I got drunk on. Oh, look at you. You gotta go. Oh that you pop. I wish it was but it's not just a go--let. It's not just is a 100% goal at nice. Yeah, and then he got a 0% shiny Piplup. Oh, I forgot to check for zeros. I'll do. Wait a minute. I don't really usually check for zeros because they don't have a convenient way to check for zeros. Like they do hundreds. Don't you just let yeah, but with yours you just got to find them and flip through them so you can type in 0 star but that doesn't mean that there's 0% Ivy's they're just the lowest tier. So no, I mean it's is a hot quality fingers hard way, but basically you pull up your first Pokémon in the satellite pimple up on your screen pull up the View and the Y's on review screen you can actually flip side to side. It'll just quickly show you yeah, you can do that. And if you type 0 star in then you'll have all of the lower tier ones. Anyway, I got you. Terry wolf got himself a pan sear pan sear is a regional. So that's pretty awesome there LEP who is currently with us here in chat. I got a hundred percent ePub Empoleon during this last night. Terry traded for what became a lucky hundred percent Empoleon actually apparently got ended up with two don't know if the second ones trade or not because it's not lucky but he's got 200% impo Leon's. Popeye with his eggs is eggs game. This last week has been awesome. Got a Tortuga cute little turtle guy a little blue Turtle. Nice. Yeah awesome there Fabian also got himself a torture to get Terry got an axe you Fabian got a 98 percent Lapras. Oh and Barry Barry checked in. So Barry our world traveler. Yeah. He's a Japan right? Out. Yeah Rosie was for a lot of this. Yeah during Community. He was in Shibuya in Tokyo near Tokyo or in Tokyo. So he's got a bunch of red eye basket wins. He's got a bunch of socks, which is the counterpart to the throw you got which I do believe he told us that he would be bringing those to you made it. He did well, We'll see if it shows up. But yeah, and then he's got pants ages as well. And which is the the green little monkey guy. So we have the blue ones here. That's right. Yep. So there's the that Trio and then he said he also got a shiny Heatran so and he goes on to list that so he's got four socks. He nabbed a hundred percent Empoleon. And while in Japan he doesn't say how many red striped bass Glenn he's got but he did show off one and he's got five pan stages that he's sitting on so, yeah, pretty awesome. A lot of awesome experiences this week. So and that is just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, we've got a ton of events that they've announced that are here on the horizon or already started and yeah, let's go Be a lot of fun and the: chat says that she's got a bunch of socks to trade. So next time we see Nicole we can also snag some from her and again to go you just tell us what you need. Well you can I won't speak for job. I'm sure Joe would agree. You tell us what you need and I'll put your name on it and you got it. She really has everything that you've got though, as not true last year. I saved her Pokemon. She's like and she's very quiet about she don't want to pose egg. Appreciate. Because I'm super busy during DragonCon by well, it might have been I don't remember but she's like hey, did you want to do a special started like sure and I obviously was DragonCon brain, which is worse than sick brain because I it's like whatever you say I'm down and she's like, yeah, you were supposed to have blah blah. I searched it and it came out as Nicole. Oh, yeah, I guess I did save you something. Here you go, and she gave me something. Laughs. All right you did you get that from the first go Fest. No, I got it from going down to Disney on the year you your you want to go fast. I went to Disney with the kids and I got it down there. I got a bunch of them saved Macho and nobody care another Nicole. She cared and I saved everyone but nobody else around here cared. So I okay fine. I'll try just is better than Disney ha ha Your kids see how that flies squishy Twitchy cares and I cool. Yeah, you know what squishy while Joe moves on let's jump onto the news here. I'll set you up news. Actually. I probably should rest my voice suggest you go ahead and knock this first one out and I'm going to look up and see if I have another hair cross because she alright. So the first thing we're going to talk about especially because it starts tomorrow is the lunar gear of the Lunar New Year event. So tomorrow is January 24th. So for the people who are tuning in on the podcast, it's the past for them. But January 24th until February third is when this event is going to happen red Pokémon will be featured. They specifically call out Charmeleon. Vulpix Paris sect Voltorb Jinx Magmar Magikarp Flareon Slugma were and Pull corphish and Cricket Ott. Oh and Funk and fungus. None of which I'm crazy excited for but apparently shiny Red Gyarados might be popping up in the wild. I you know it be fantastic if they used this as an opportunity to make it so that Pokemon on the world map if they're shiny show up shiny for you on the world map. That would be fantastic. Yes, probably won't happen. But that would be fantastic. Now. Here's another thing to look out for Darumaka, which this will be his first appearance will be popping up in 7K eggs and several other red Pokémon will be popping up in 7K eggs as well. So Darumaka, do you know what Darumaka looks like because I know we've About him because you're Irish. My book is too far away back. Ya know. I don't okay. So Darumaka, he's the Zen Pokémon. And if I remember correctly his the Pokédex that talks about. Yeah a small random trivia here his white Pokedex entry says darmok is droppings are hot. So people. I used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm. I think you could have brought that up before it sounds familiar. Yeah, we brought it up. I think around Halloween when we were talking about Creepy Pokemon facts. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So people use his poo to stay warm. But yeah, yeah Rock idiots this this starts tomorrow on the 24th. And again last of the the February the 3rd in addition to the things we've already Talked about there will be some bonuses during the event. So gifts have a chance to give you rare candies, which is pretty awesome. It doesn't I don't see anything in here about the amount of gifts. You can open increasing which I'm kind of sad about but you know, it happens we get what we get and then the likelihood of becoming lucky friends is increased and the likelihood of getting a lucky Pokemon from a trade also is increasing. Ting and menechino is going to be popping up in limited research. So it's going to be a special research event in which men chino will be available and machino can evolve using a you Nova Stone into sin Gino. So he's a cute little guy Benji know I like mint scheana. I mean she know better than since you know, but you know, it's what it is and I meant, you know, so the he'll be available in the special research but also in 5K eggs as well. So I don't like that. They're making us compete in two separate egg categories here. So and especially because They are incentivizing opening up gifts, which means you're going to get more 7K eggs. So I don't like that. They're incentivizing both 7K eggs and 5K eggs in the same event. But you know, that's what it is. And then I'm in Chino during the The Limited research. You can also find the shiny version or in the eggs. So that is available as well. And in addition to oh, this is a second portion. Sorry. This is just the Moschino limited research is just on Sunday February 2nd from 2 p.m. To 5 p.m. Local. Wow. That is a very precise window. Yeah, and they've done this before where they've got where they yeah, they do special research events. Listen not charging his $8 this time. Yeah, but they did with it this with Clamperl and I can't remember who else they've done this a couple of different times. But yeah, so during that window is when the Moschino limited field research tasks are going to pop up they're going to have specific rat themed Pokemon. So ratatata Raticate Pikachu Sandshrew some of these are a bit of a stretch to be But you know they do what they got to do and it around male and female Sentret Meryl Zigzagoon, Plusle Minun Bidoof and Patrat and it's actually during that event that the 5K eggs have been Chino in them. So basically between now and then you want to clear out your eggs, so you can collect a whole bunch of 5K eggs during that three hour window. Yeah, and that means you have to walk them off because you can't trash them. Yep. And so we've just talked about the everything in the event. We've also got a infographic here from go Hub detailing the event and I love that. They stuck Wurmple on top of fungus. That's fun. Yeah, and then Shuckle is one of the Pokemon that's going to be appearing in 7K eggs the ironic part about That this is supposed to be a red themed event. If you get his shiny, it's blue. Yeah, but his is made for is red. So I guess that's what works. Yeah real quick. What does that mean? It's it's got three stars and it's pink and all is that a hundred fact, I finally got me a hundy. It's a little it's a flash. Yep. So if you just type in four asterisks, I'll show you all of your undies that know that's what that's how I found it. I start with five could remember I thought it was my for but yeah, I start I didn't that's my only bad it's and I'm so close to zero dude. I'm so close to zero. I have a hariyama. Not area most original form of him. Is hot is it hariyama's original Hockey Tina man brain man. Anyway, I've got one that's got like makuhita makuhita. I've got a zero defense zero bottom stat, and I'm sorry whatever and like one tiny bar of attack. Have you been distracted this whole time trying to get trying to see if you have any zeros not distracted. I heard what you said about when she know. In the I just read it actually had it open. I was reading it too. He's the he's a little Rex and chill out. That's it. The chinchilla Pokemon not listens 5K eggs, but then they're gonna want to do 7K. Yeah. I was listening as also looking for 0 this is here IV Pokémon. So we also have here look at what machine oh and since you know look like as shinies. Again, not my favorite shining but you know, at least you could tell a difference actually. I like the evolved form. I'm more favorable to the the tan darker Tans and Browns then the other colors, but honestly, well at least in this artist's representation. It's a nice pink and a nice Brown for the trace. You you favor the Blues in the actual greens. Not the Pea greens, right? That's very true. Yeah as I'm wearing a green Certain have a bluish purple background. So yeah, so that is this event. That's kind of that's coming up but speaking of events. They a Pokemon go AK and II Jake has announced for events specifically Safari Zone events that are coming to well three of them are Safari vote zone offense and the other hand. Sorry going back to the other one does all this info. a graphic It's not saying a higher Encounter of Magikarp shinies is saying encounter shiny Gyarados in the wild. Yes, but there will be more Magikarp spawning. So so it's not necessary. You'll see a big dragon on your thing. Right? I mean, I'm not necessary unless they change it. Okay, you're not going to see a Red Gyarados on your screen until you click on that be really cool, right or not wrap it disappeared. I've never seen a Gyarados in the wild. I've had to move on. I've had two. I think that's one or two fifty. All right. So we're going on to these Live Events. Yes. So they've announced for Live Events three of which are well three of which are considered Safari Zone and apparently we don't so here's what it says in 2019. They hosted the events in Brazil. Özil Singapore in Canada. And so they had three different continents and they were very proud about about that here in 2020. They've got for Live Events announced three or considered Safari zones. The other was one is called the Taiwan Lantern Festival. And so the Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung City Taiwan is happening in February so you don't have much time to plan for it if Landed on that. That's February 6th to February 9th, and we have an infographic to go with this that comes to us from the go Hub. Yeah Pokemon go after that in the room for you too late. And so the Taiwan of it is non ticketed, it's free. It's featuring It's featured Regional is illumise, which we have here in the US so You know to us that's big whoop to them. Hey, it's a new Regional and then it's also going to feature the L unknown probably L4 Lantern I would assume. I would assume that you or they just chose randomly. But yeah, it's going to feature the L unknown and then let's see. What else does it say? It does specifically say enjoy the lovely sounds of Chimecho. It's going to feature electric-type Pokémon calls out Mareep and Electrike specifically Volbeat will be appearing alongside a Loomis. And yeah, so that is oh catch the L unknown to celebrate the light themed event is what it says what I mean, your clothes Lantern is an amazing Lantern Festival was like a festival like it's obviously so yeah, you're close. Yep. The next event is in st. Louis Missouri misery. That's happening in March. Say hello. This is a beautiful city. I've been through there once I really enjoyed it. I've driven past it, but that's about it. It's not that far from you. Is it couple hours? Yeah, I don't know. It's a couple hours more than it is for you or less than it is for you rather. Yes. But anyway, so that's March 27th through 29th. It's going to be taking place in Tower Grove Park. It is a ticketed event. And those tickets are going on sale tomorrow January 24th. Yeah you that so hopefully our podcast listeners already know because by the time this goes live those tickets will be sold out most likely. Yeah $12 for regular and 18 for Early Access. Yeah, unless they're doing the lottery thing again for it, but that specifically say so we don't yeah, it doesn't I wouldn't count on that and then the A Pokémon that are popping up here are manky unknown s teddiursa Snivy and pharaoh seed. I got a quick think I just pulled up in advance for this specific thing you're talking about and of course is registration is not open yet. I just was looking to see if his lottery or anything. It says underneath registration is not open yet redeem a promo code so somehow some way people can get into this for free or for a greater. I don't think Frank's why would you discount 12 less and less when you buy it? You get a promo code to redeem here. That makes sense. I don't know but yeah, it does say redeem a promo code but the the regional it's going to be featured there is chatot. So yeah shoutouts pretty nice Regional to have yeah. Yeah go out there and grab it and then the next event is Liverpool UK and this event will all the rest of the events are ticketed. The only free one is the Taiwan Lantern Festival in Liverpool. They are going to have relicanth as the featured Regional Pokémon with the VII unknown appearing and they are going to have water it's a maritime theme. So water-type Pokémon crabby Dratini chin Chow. And Oshawott or the specific ones it is calling out. Yeah. Yeah, this will be ticketed. It'll be they specifically say to see the other ones specifically say first come first served. Yeah, it definitely it does. So this is definitely not a lottery system first come first serve for all of these and the UK one is 18 pounds or 12 pounds for General axis. Team pounds for Early Access so so little good and yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's cover which is going to set off the coal and some of our European listeners. We were talking about beginners box when you're off and sick that last time and the beginners box. It was like 99 Cents here or dollar 99 or something and I think 99 Cents, but where Nicole is and then At the pipe guy think was the other one and you know, presumably he's in Scotland by I don't know for sure. I can't remember. It was a lot more money. It was like $2.99 when Nicole was and so this being pretty much the equivalent of the US dollars. You muted yourself, dude. The Pokemon go podcast is made possible 100% by you and other listeners just as awesome as you are if you want to support the show and get a little something in return. Just go to patreon.com slash Pokemon go podcast. All right. So on my side, I can't hear you muted it would not let me unmute you. Okay, let me re say because I think the stream caught it but yeah with a podcast that I didn't get it. So 12. Pounds is 1574 us and 18 pounds is 2361 us. Yeah, but when the go in jail tour talking about it, it was the other way. It's like for here is 99 Cents. No, it's more expensive for them is what I'm saying that it is for now our events. Yes, but no their path. So it wouldn't ninety-nine point nine nine pounds. Anyway mean eurostat. What point nine euros it was like to not T 9 Euro 2.99 Euros which is even more expensive than 99 Cents. It was a big deal. So I'm just saying but I want to shout out. I know Barry, let's go to these things and I know he's a fair guy needs a bodyguard and he didn't like to be alone. So Barry I'll get us I'll get us the Safari tickets. If you'll take care of the plane in the hotel man that I'm there for you. I think that's even that's a fair swap right Joe. It's fair. So just just looking out for your well-being. That's all this will do that for you. I don't even have a passport. So I already got it real can't you know? Yeah you do and now the only one that I'm actually looking at right now access telling Joe. I've got a really busy con schedule this year. I got partner and we were building a con business and we've got a lot of stuff to do that were invested in right now. So I'm not sure TimeWise. I'm going to be able to do many of these but if I do a trying Shoot for this next one. Yeah. So this next one which a lot of the details other than the dates have not been announced but the next one is going to be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Friday May 8 to Sunday, May 10th, and again first come first served and it's twelve and eighteen dollars for the these tickets as well. But we don't know who the regional is going to be. We don't know what the unknown is going to be. I'm assuming that it's going to be comparable to these other events. it's but yeah, so we don't know a whole lot. Other than that, I don't think they don't even announce the park. It's going to be in or anything like that. Ironically. If everything pans out. I'm actually going to be in Philadelphia a month before that. Yeah, so man is so it have me it might be doable because my first con is March 20th to 22nd. So be a weekend. Between the two I don't know. It's as you know, Joe, you know, we went to Chicago's investment of time and energy and its finances. Just just hang out with the botched guys. It'll be great. Yeah, it is a possibility but I still gotta get there and I don't trust them to feed me they'll feed me alcohol, but it probably won't be me food. So those who don't know botched is another podcast on the giant size team up Network. Yeah. They are they are not safe for work. They are no most dear. The most not safe for we're not safe for Humanity. Yeah, they're not they're not safe for life now. But yeah, they are a Dungeons and Dragons themed podcast. I say that Loosely because They are self proclaimed loose understanding of the rules. But anyway, that is the Safari Zone in Philadelphia May 8 2010. So yeah. And there were more days. I mean they have said 19 you said there will be more dates and now so you're just the first you know, what impact does all of these real-world events have on the economy. If I had to guess I'd say the neighborhood of 250 million dollars in tourism Revenue possibly. That's such a good dancer random number, you know coming to us from The Verge.com this past year. Night the Pokemon go events. This is just Pokemon go vents. This isn't talking about their other events because they did do events with Ingress and Harry Potter wizard unite, but the Pokemon go live events drove nearly 250 million dollars in tourism Revenue this past year and they say nearly because it was actually closer to 247 million. That's a lot of just from people wanting to come play the game around the world. You know, that is that is a lot here in chat. We've got Brian V asking if we can trade trade is trading is restricted to being within the same like 30 feet of each other. Yeah, you know if your eyeball to eyeball And I know you're new to the stream. But as you can see my character isn't actually moving because I am not yeah GPS spoofing. So my character cannot randomly show up at your house. Even if you gave me your coordinates, which please don't Chicago fest last year drove to estimate a hundred twenty million and tourism alone, which we help with that. We sure did great some good pizza. I didn't get you to I didn't get you do the the Italian sausage because we around time but man that was good. No, it is good. I've had it. Did you have that day? I had it the year before that's right. We you had had it we were both going to try to do it because we got so what we were so late getting into town. Would you have time it's like it's like a Philly cheesesteak with a different flavor profile so good. Yeah. Yeah, the the hot hot Italian beef melt or whatever. It's yeah Joe. Yeah. Well, you said Ted get stuff. Yeah, Chicago good food. But yeah, go Fest was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to go again this year assuming my wife isn't completely crazy because she she will just cut Basin email that to her. It's fine. Yeah with three kids now the the crazy happens, but yeah, so yeah, they're driving a lot of Of Revenue, which makes sense because these events are widely popular, even if even if you don't have tickets to the event, there's still a ton of increased traffic to these events because a lot of people book the hotels and then don't get a ticket to the event. So they just take a vacation in Chicago I guess but are you so yeah a lot of fun. All right. Well before you take off we need to fund some of our own tourism. So if you everybody listen to podcast will sit tight Tight as we take a break we were right back after what was the ABC song will be after these messages. We'll be right back and we're back. I just that's leave enough space in the recordings. I can find it. What's next Joe? So the next thing they're mixing things up for Community day here in February and they're mixing things up. Not only for how they're presenting it that they're also messing with some of the Texas and Mexican players that are were planning a huge PVP tournament in McAllen, Texas. They had to change the data their Community are their tournament because Community day was announced Just yesterday on January 22nd. They announced the date for Community Day. So but that aside what they're doing with this community days. They're actually having people vote. And so the voting day is February 1st. Yeah, just February 1st. So that is 12 a.m. To midnight local time. You can go and vote the votes will be counted via the total number of research tasks completed globally within the allotted time. Interesting after a second link that's talking about the same thing, but it's infographics. You can actually see if you scroll down the for Vulpix Machop Rhyhorn and your teeny and right next to it Vulpix is whether ball, would you be fire for nine tails our eyes for a little and nine tails but chops possible Powers payback, which is dark weird was beyond my champ. Yeah, right Hornsby Rock wrecker, which is Rock tied for Here is actually quite good and where my personal favorite II like the name. So there's my personal favorite. This is the name and then your teeny is super. Okay. I like this into superpower which is a fine superpower which the fighting moves on Dragonite and not on Machamp. They had their to shift the things up but also makes me champ strong against things that are weak to Darkness as opposed to just having fighting moves. Yeah. Well, I guess the superpower could be well Is nice about superpower being on Dragonite I suppose is because fighting-type moves are super effective against ice type Pokemon. So for PVP you could do some mind games with people who are trying to counter your Dragonite only to be countered. So if they're using a nice type Pokemon you like bam super-powered face and then yeah and then because it's a Charged move you could still have dragon claw as your other move as well. Not get he points out super power would be good against Tyranitar as well since rock types are super effective against the against Dragonite since he's flying as well. So yeah Super Bra. Okay. It makes sense when you think about the PVP match ups. Which we don't I mean now that we can actually Machamp with dark-type move would help him counter psychic-type Pokémon. So, okay. These are these are these are some off type counter moves for PVP. It looks like swell those two are. So it makes sense which Nathan app just stated in chat as well. So yeah, so but the the voting man, this is so I don't quite understand this voting to be honest because it says it's going to votes will be counted via the total number of field research tasks completed globally within the allotted time. So voting day field research. I need to read this whole thing. I've only skimmed it and looked at the infographic but Yeah. Every poke stopped that day will will have a voting related research task if the Pokey stop you spin does not have a task for the Pokémon you want to vote for please spin a different poke stop. Okay. So if you want to vote for a specific Pokemon, I think to complete specific tasks. Okay. So I think is if you get the tab sort of Pokemon, you don't want you to throw that one away and get your different. Yeah fucking stop. It's been okay. So and actually the research test will be titled vote for Machop catch-twenty Pokemon vote for Rhyhorn catch-twenty poke their all catch-twenty Pokémon. So the research task will actually be vote for said Pokémon. So yeah, if you want to vote for it, you ditched the you ditch the research tasks for the Pokémon. You don't want to vote for okay now it's making a bit more sense. And what you get from catching a 20 Pokemon is 200 Stardust. That's the research task reward. So yeah, an all-day event February first sets next Saturday. Alright, let's do this. I don't know which one I want now that I've thought about like originally I was all Rhyhorn rhyperior all the way Rock wrecker. He becomes basically the best or pretty close to the best rock type attacker in the game with Rhyhorn. So yeah, but we do have actually a bit of an analysis specifically for rhyperior. I grabbed this again thinking that rhyperior would be the landslide choice. And so I don't I didn't grab anything specifically for Dratini or Machop voltaics. Is just okay. I could see people wanting specifically the shiny Vulpix or shiny lowland Vulpix. But yeah, it's all right, and so but the the rhyperior hypothetical matchups if he gets Rock wrecker puts him as the second highest DPS rock-type Pokémon in the game just behind A part of us but he has much higher defensive stats than Rampardos. So his DPS over time is way higher layer ridiculously higher. So yeah. Red Pierre, you're with rock wrecker would be pretty awesome. And even after thinking about it, I think I would still go with rhyperior. To be honest. I am that's my pick Sokka see even he even beats out Tyranitar by a by a fair bit. So even though he's actually lower lower Max CP than Tyranitar, but I just like how it looks like they've I'm shallow. I'm as like the name. You just want to wreck some rocks or recognize that was even worse Joe. Don't do that man hurt you. Do what you gotta do. Yeah, well Which one would you go for see? We've already had a dirty knee Community day granted that Community move isn't all that great at this point, and we've had a bunch of events with Machop. I don't think we've had a right on the bit. Have we? We've had events where Rhyhorn has been right had increased spawns but his as even tiny his shiny has not been available. I hasn't been the specific community that because he would have had a shiny right? That's where yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we haven't technically had a Machop Community day and we haven't had well the only one that's actually had an official Community is true teeny. All right. Nathan app says right here your has a good shiny and Rhyhorn is easy. Find in the wild and kind of those. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think I don't I don't even know if I have enough candy to evolve my Kronos. Yeah, this is that the moves on my Champion drought idea from I could I could evolve microdose. But yeah, I completely agree with Nathan at that. The candy the availability. Yeah rhyperior rhyperior all the way I'm sticking with it. Let's go. I all right you committed is now Cannon but along with that we're actually getting some updates to attacks. And this is just kind of a general announcement of the the changes that are coming. So the combat system charged attacks and switching will now be queued and activated at the end of the current fast attack and won't to be overridden. By any following fast attacks. So there's been a bugs in trainer battles where you could actually cancel out some some attacks by doing some switching and doing some some some different techniques. So they're the sounds like they're fixing that at least mitigating that there's let's see megahorn is now going to deal more damage volts. Which is it's an electric type fast attack and it's going to generate your charge move more quickly flying press is officially being announced as coming with they that was one of the episodes I missed where you guys talked about flying, press what's weird about flying press is it's primarily a Hawlucha attack. I think there's one other Pokémon that can learn it. I gets the Luchador Pikachu So yeah, we'll have to see how this goes. I kind of want this to be a Cinco de Mayo Lucha Pikachu that that would be fun. Actually, they're adding moves and moves to Pokemon that previously couldn't learn them. So they've added grass not to Plusle and Minun. It is an interesting choice. Apparently it's to help them deal with ground-type Pokémon in great League specifically Lantern is getting spark because Lantern although an electric-type Pokémon did not have an electric type of attack that was comparable in power to its water type moves. So spark is going to help their and it specifically their goal is to help Lantern. or azumarill and to hit Altera with neutral damage Nicole in chat and deviating a little bit here. But Nicole in chat says we need a shiny day were chances are doubled for all shinies currently available. I would be down for that. This is why I like Nicole. That's what I appreciate about you she's part of the brain trust. But back to the moves that Pokemon can get that they previously couldn't Ampharos is getting thunderpunch. It's at right. Thundercats AC/DC the punch. Okay massacre in is getting bubblebeam vespiquen is getting Fury cutter and are slash and then old moves are coming back again. So Raichu can get thundershock again magnets on Kate thunder shock and discharge venomoth can get poison Fang. Hunter and Hypno can both get Shadow Ball So these are moves that have been gone apparently since 2016. So from there move pools. You didn't have a date. So has the all right unless I hear you can't get it from here. But if you know outside of here has this update happen or is it still scheduled to happen? We haven't got it yet. I don't know I do not know. Yeah, it doesn't say when so I guess just with the next update although these seem like back-end updates. So it might already be there. All right, they announced it today. So they're the next update should put it there. They now sit a month ago today. It was January 23rd on the top of the today is January 23rd crap. How are in February dude now that my brain is how busy I've been all week in my brain. I told I told Joe this and you don't tell us you're 70 anything but you know how when you go through any kind of sickness it gets to a height and then you start getting better. Well the height of my sickness was two days that's been about 12 hours each at the the office and I had to do multiple speeches each day as lecturing and different classes and It got me man. So I guess all the energy that when I just made me feel like I was a month just ignore your yeah, just ignore me, it's fine. All right. Well since your month in the future, I need you to give me your past four weeks worth of of your experiences of the week. I didn't play. I was just tired. He just he he went Rip Van Winkle on us. He just slept the entire month. Yeah. All right. So yeah, those attacks are getting updated and then we also have a code dive coming in. So they're bringing in some new anti-cheat features. So it's okay your battery and five minutes and and we won't know if you are spoofing you better knock it off their refactoring quote-unquote forms, so They're changing how they're handling that in the background which doesn't mean a whole lot Shadow eggs apparently are going to be a new thing. So maybe Shadow Pokémon that are hatching from eggs. The current theory. Is that the shadow eggs, you'll get from spinning a rocket. Stop, maybe. Oh, okay. So my wife is start playing more because the young was like to play so she's been collecting things and let them play one. Not so yeah the other day I went to the monkey stop right up here to church and some random dude tried to fight me. I'm like, what did you call the cops? I know I'm gonna get a some real. That's Team Rocket. Yeah, she's well, they're pretty easy. But yeah now the thing rocket means are pretty easy. So you're good. But yeah, she just did not preface anything about it. Just some random dude trying to find her it took me a hand. Oh, come on, please. What's up? Apophis a little bread thingy in there. Yeah that you can feed to your to your buddy. Yeah. I haven't bothered buying any but apparently it skyrockets your your friendship level with your buddy. They have found a whole bunch of codes specifically for Arceus Sorry Pam. I know I saw that somewhere. Am I missing maybe I just maybe I just decided that there needed to be RC is forms. No. Yeah, there are yeah, they found forms for Arceus in in the code as well. And the great box is officially dead and replaced with Adventure box. So apparently that just wasn't selling enough right now. The only the boxes available are Special ultra adventure and the $5 training bar. Actually, I would 99 cent because I don't have the training box at the 99-Cent beginner box, which is real world Body. By the way, which still bothers me? Yeah, I'm saving up some coins to get another adventure box because it gives a lot of incubators. So yeah, I'm a sucker for incubators. But yeah, so a lot of mostly back-end stuff that they're adding in although it looks like they might be rearranging the stones for XP the XP rewards for Milestones or just maybe how they display it a lot of these it's guessing based on on the different code things that you can find. I mean code Dives they don't fully see all the code because there's front-end code of back-end code and they don't they definitely don't see the back end code, right? But yeah all in all just a bunch of Little changes here and there and yeah, although I think the thing that most excites me about all of this is those Shadow eggs. I want to see what's going to pop out of them Shadow eggs. I'm still concerned about this anti-cheat feature because because you're a cheater. Yes. Now we've had this the speech, you know, like they've they've been doing a little bit different and doesn't seem to have dragged the game down the last were to that they've implemented. I'm still I'm still living in that 2016-2017 era of we're gonna stop cheaters Yeah by killing my phone's battery because you're processing everything on my you know, it's always get worried when I wear do more to crack you. Can you just not can we just not go? Yeah, the game's gonna have cheaters and less their own. Let's have a weight of 2. Well now then then people just read doxing other people. Never mind. It's not just have a way to go because there's been some legit complaints write about There's somebody coming in town and cheating in like knocking out all the gyms locking people out or bugs. Yeah, Jim, you know you messing with people and it's crap and yeah, you should get a report them and have that somehow lockdown. I just as long as it does it take away from my game. I'm okay with it, but for a while it did because it was killing our batteries and locking things up and they have come a long way so many of the all right. I'm excited as stupid as it is. I feel like an 80 year old man saying this the weather handling updates is my exciting point of this that drives me crazy whenever like are you safe? Yeah, because it's sunny outside have fun. I'm too. Well so lately they've been they've been saying like I said before any time that there's any kind of warning they put it in the game. So if it's below freezing if there's a flash flood warning if there's like any kind of weather warning they just say hey, be careful. Yeah, yeah. Hey, there's a tornado coming right at you, but just be careful. Here's here's tornado mon free. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but I suspect we're trying to get this anti-cheat pushed in before they release the PVP League that they've teased out a few times. So yeah, I mean I would be kind of curious to see how cheating is affecting or is not affecting PVP kind of the biggest thing before was basically the spoofing and taking Jim's plus if they ban cheaters and they start new accounts. They might make more money off the cheaters. Yeah, see and you're right, but that as so conspiratorially true that it lacked good. Happens like now it's all part of the Illuminati. Yeah, I play a lot of a lot of hours right for us. Not once have I seen any damn update about anti-cheating. They do just fine. I mean, okay, then I'm making Pokemon go money, but still come on man. One of the games I play is Summoners War and they actually just cracked down on some cheaters pretty hard mostly because what they were doing to cheat cut into their profits. It's and so and then they can study. They don't care. They don't care. They don't care what players say, but as soon as they say, oh, they're getting this for free even though it's like the equivalent of five thousand dollars based on the odds the actual odds. Sure then they're like, oh no no no, no, no, And it was like within two days bam that shut all that down. What are you gonna do when Pokemon comes from you bad eggs bad eggs moving on Shadow eggs. That's our fourth as my I can't I can't make it work to be too long without I was gonna be like cops Shadow eggs Joe. Joe Joseph yes Charles. What time is it man? Well Charlie it's time for random. Trivia. Don't tell you I can't make that a thing. I'll make it a thing all day long. There's a lot of people with bleeding years now. So this week I wanted to talk about mint Chino and Santino or chin Chino probably sin genome and so they are the chinchilla Pokémon. Well machino is and since you know is the scarf Pokemon. They are normal-type Pokémon that actually in the main Series games have a 75 percent female population and 25% male population. We don't always talk about the populations, but I thought I'd point that out this time. You mean she knows pokedex entry says that they greet one another by rubbing each other with their tails, which they keep well-groomed and clean. And the white Pokedex entry specifically mentions that they are very tidy. Apparently, they use their tails as brooms. So yeah, this Pokemon it's a Roomba. It's a Pokemon Rumba Rumba mon. That's right. Shouldn't she know talks about how it's fur is coated with a special oil that helps them deflect attacks. That makes me just think of all the different movies where they dumped oil on themselves before they get into a wrestling match. What size are you watching movies on Joe? Wasn't it? What was it transporter where he dumped a whole bunch of motor oil on himself before getting in a fist fight. Yeah, actually, yeah. See you're my boy blue. So yeah, that's what that makes me think of right? Right. There is The Transporter not to be confused with whatever Charles Wilson trying to insinuate. I I let you infer I didn't say anything you say whatever you say I will okay as the chinchilla Pokémon, you could probably guess that it is based off of a chinchilla. Minqi know probably relates to it. Is he the name comes from either mini or mink or mints, you know. Make smaller minces kind of a stretch in my opinion and then chinchilla or they've also claimed maybe Chino cloth. But yeah, so that's minqi. No sin Gino comes from a combination of chinchilla and she know cloth is the suspicion there and actually since she know it's white hair is actually very similar to what high class women wore in the sixteen hundreds. Which is interesting in and of its self I suppose sure but yeah get out there and grab them when they are available. That as yeah during their limited research three hour window on Sunday this Sunday. Oh, no, not this Sunday next Sunday February 2nd 2 p.m. To 5 p.m. Local time. Yeah, not this Sunday when I actually have the whole day off and go do that next thing. I know I'm doing stuff. Yeah. Yep, exactly. You need to talk to uncle Hank he let him know that we get a shared Google Calendar or something with him. He just says he can't play favorites. What are something about nepotism? I don't know. It's whatever man embrace it Embrace nepotism. Zapdos slim jim. All right, so you can email us show a Pokemon go podcast.com.
