The title is brought to you by OldManTup Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe bring the positivity in this amazing episode! Niantic has announced a relatively minor feature where your battle parties are now saved in the cloud. That means if you delete the game and redownload it later or if you get a new phone your battle parties will be saved. Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn is right around the c...

The Crackling Voltage event is upon us and with it comes a couple of new shiny Pokémon: Helioptile and Tapu Koko.

Welcome to the new show that Joe and I are trying to develop and we want your input! What should we call the show? AND what did you like about it? This episode has been made public for anyone to try! Joe jumps in to finish up the cliffhanger - How Joes dad got ejected and banned from NASCAR! There is a moment you get to hear a very real and natural "Wait....but what?" from Charles. In this case Ch...

The title is brought to you by Joseph_Ard Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another fantastic episode! They start off reviewing Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet. You'll have to listen to the episode to discover why the title is Ric Flair in a Tigger onesie. Kecleon has been added again, but in typical Niantic fashion they screwed it up. Not only was it an unde...

The title is brought to you by alienpstar88 Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another fantastic episode! 2022 is in our rearview mirror and Niantic seems pretty happy with the events that took place which likely means they are happy with their bottom line.

The title is brought to you by VOByKurt Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are joined by the amazing ThunderMuffin2277! 2022 had a lot of great moments on the show and decent moments in game, but our favorite moments were interacting with listeners.

The title is brought to you by OldManTup Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are joined by the delightful Rob Roberts! Do you know what time it is? It is time for... Awkward silence! Hijinks aside, this proved to be a most enjoyable episode full of information and witty banter. The massive 2 day December community day has become Niantic's Christmas tradition. We're sad that the prime hu...

The title is brought to you by TougasRose27 Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are here with another amazing episode! We got some fantastic listener responses this week even though Charles was mostly trolling. Niantic is overloading December with events and trying everything they can to nickel and dime the players during events. Many of the paid bonuses would have been included as part...

Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This special episode was recorded right after Pokemon Go Fest in July 2022. Charles was recording a different project with Dennis Robinson when Dennis asked about the go fest experience. You get a good look into the span of experiences for the fest, and a deeper talk about why we play. On top of that they hit some topics of where Niantic...

The title is brought to you by thewfproffesor Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another fantastic episode, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

The title is brought to you by thewfproffesor Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back together for an amazing episode! Guzzlord may eat trash, but we're not sure if even he could stomach the garbage Niantic has been putting out lately. First Zorua's CP was all messed up so it had to be disabled. Then if you caught Zorua with the GO+ it would be your buddy instead of Zorua, so Niant...

The title is brought to you by Charles McFall Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles is flying solo tonight, so prepare yourself for a fantastic ride!

The title is brought to you by TougasRose Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another fantastic episode! Elite Raids were introduced, but we weren't given any heads up on them. The experiences have been hit or miss in the community especially since it was restricted to local players only. The raids are not easy at all with the community recommending 7+ players. Youtubers h...

The title is brought to you by Joseph_Ard Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Joe is flying solo in this episode, but still handles it like a boss. Niantic seems to have completely forgotten that Pokémon GO is a game. Where is the fun, Niantic? Raid day had an "issue" where it started at 11am and lasted for 6 hours. Niantic should just make all of our "day" events like raid days and community days be 6...

The title is brought to you by mrtamborine19 Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with another raucous episode!

We have a super good conversation about what Niantic should add to the game.

The title is brought to you by Charles McFall Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are back with a relaxing, casual episode that is more like NPR than high energy Arceus preacher. El_Gringo_Suave is calling it quits with Pokémon GO. We'd love to say this is a rare occurrence, but we are seeing this same story all too frequently these days. Niantic has made a lot of poor decisions this ye...

The title is brought to you by Joseph_Ard Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! A wild Rhychu has appeared! Charles and Joe are joined by Charles' son Rhyland for a post Dragon Con / post GO Fest Finale episode! Dragon Con was amazing, but very tiring. We recommend it if you ever have a chance to go.

The title is brought to you by kittensnhigh5s Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Charles and Joe are here with another fantastic episode! Charles makes sure to get in his weekly hate of all things Eevee.
