Special Guest: The Trainer Club
Lured Up Podcast 416 with The Trainer Club Live Streamed on - 11/3/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor FOLLOW THE TRAINER CLUB - https://linktr.ee/Thetrainerclub We are very excited to welcome The Trainer Club back to the show! Making his 4th appearance on the show, Billy has been creating in the Pokémon GO space for many years, and has remained at the forefront of the creative market. In his past appearances, we have always had great conversations not only about the game, but about how it can influence life. We have carried some of Billy’s lessons with us since he first shared them with us. We start off with a discussion on how the Pokémon GO content space has changed over the years. From the early days where YouTube was king and only a handful of creators dominated the Trainer’s screens, to the present where short form and vertical content is part of everyday life. We dig in to how Billy’s educational and tip content has made way for more experiential content. His real world approach to how being a sponsored creator works and dictates the ability to cover events globally, comes through in his content and his direction to build real world communities. Billy’s focus on health and well being brought us to touch on the parallels that Trainers face both in game and off screen. Using Pokémon GO as a tool to get outside, and once there, using your own motivations to take a moment to put the phone down, and connect with your environment. The GO Plus can put in work while you enjoy the trees, the wind, the wildlife around you. A simple tip like this is what makes The Trainer Club so special. The Training doesn’t end when you put the phone down. In the future we can look for more educational and experiential content from The Trainer Club, with Billy being a positive force in a sometimes negative world.

On That Dust
Lured Up Podcast 414: On That Dust Live Streamed on: 10/22/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor Huge shoutout to Lane for covering for Adam this week! We kick things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay, including the Fall Marathon, Sandile Hatch Day, and the Minior Showers! The Fall Marathon was well received by the community for a few different reasons. The release of Bramblin was a lot of fun, and had the perfect encounter rate from Incense that kept us out there playing. This paired perfectly with the task of walking 42 kilometers to fulfil the actual marathon (26.2 miles) part of the event. Leading right into Sandile Hatch Day, the community put some distance under their feet this week. The Minior Showers brought some excitement and immersion to the game, although it was clouded a bit by a Research debacle. With some lucky Trainers getting rewarded with 1 million Stardust, the community took issue with the release. It is very difficult to get surprised in this game, and when we do, it seems that many in the community want to be surprised in the same way. We share our takes on it, with Lane bringing up a great point that the Stardust is simply a consumable that can be earned by gameplay, and doesn’t need RNG to be delivered. In any case, it has once again proven that it is impossible to satisfy the entire Pokémon GO Community at the same time. There is plenty of gameplay on the calendar with the Dynamax Lake Guardians coming regionally this weekend. GO Hub put together three fantastic guides making it very easy to put together two Battle Parties that can be used between the three bosses. Our Halloween events also kick off next week, leading right into Chandelure Super Mega Raid Day. There is always something to do week after week, and new Bosses are a great way to keep people motivated. We quickly blast through the November Content Update before having a casual conversation about the State of the Game, and how the PGO and TCG Communities differ. There is an interesting juxtaposition of how the online PGO community isn’t an accurate representation of the IRL Community, whereas with the TCG, we see a more consistent vibe between on and offline communities.

Pressure Is A Privilege
Lured Up Podcast 413: Pressure Is A Privilege Live Streamed on 10/13/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor IT’S ADAM’S BIRTHDAY! The sheer amount of gameplay lately is keeping everyone exceptionally busy. We wrapped up an event filled with Astronaut Pikachu which led right into Community Day Zorua. Pacing has been a consistent lately, and the event barrage isn’t slowing down at all. In fact the next two weeks of gameplay are looking particularly strong, with plenty to do across multiple events. The Fall Marathon should get all of us off our butts and out there walking with a 42km Timed Research up for grabs. Bramblin debuting off Incense is a fantastic pairing for a walking event. Some boosted Shiny’s sweetened the deal and let’s not forget we have Sandile Hatch Day this weekend. Minior makes its debut after that with our first Meteor Shower event of the year. If that doesn’t tire you out, it will be followed up by the debut of the Dynamax Lake Guardians. For those that purchased City Safari: Boston tickets, we also have the two day make up event that same weekend. With so much to do over a two week period, it can be tough to know where to spend your time and energy. We revisit a conversation from a few months ago about finding a solid 15 minutes of gameplay every day can help keep you driven and current with everything the game has to offer. The importance of Daily Discoveries make timing your gameplay a bit more intentional as you learn to maximize your screen time. Wayfarer had an interesting announcement this week in that the violation process which previously covered a user’s Wayfarer and Pokémon GO account when it came to suspensions, would be cutting ties. That means beginning this week, if you are found to be in violation of Wayfarer, it will have no impact on your Pokémon GO account. The core Wayfinder community isn’t having it, and we should all head into this with a solid dose of cautious optimism. We wrap things up with a Professor’s Principle that directly compliments last week’s topic. We previously talked about how being where you’re needed could also mean that you don’t have time to play the game in a way that you would like. This week we look at how there is more to it, including the pressure you can feel when people need you. Realizing that it is a privilege to be called upon by someone that trusts and needs you, which reminds us that sometimes pressure is a necessary ingredient to being your best self.

Be Where You're Needed
Lured Up Podcast 412: Be Where You're Needed Live Streamed on - 10/8/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor This last week was an incredible time to play the game. The Applin picking of the Harvest Festival and the flow of Team Go Rocket balloons from the takeover made for some great times. It makes you think about how we have been discussing the curation of gameplay by Scopely. There was even more pieces of the puzzle when you think how well the 30th Anniversary event set Trainers up with great rewards like Mossy Lures, which were in high demand during the festival. So what can we learn from the last week of gameplay? That this game is starting to develop event flows and gameplay loops that connect them. That maybe a Pokémon GO Season could have some structure and trajectory as the calendar rolls on. The best part about it is that if you want to min-max your way through this game, that option is always there. But if you want a smooth, flowing run of gameplay, we think Scopely Explore may be on to something lately. There is plenty of gameplay and event news, but a big story this week in the Northeast was that the City Safari: Boston event was rescheduled and converted into a “mostly” global event. With Boston still playing a small role in having Trainers get the special Explorer Eevee encounters, we knew that the community would have feelings. As for us, we think it is a great way to keep the event accessible to all ticket holders, and offer something exclusive to those that can return to Boston. Oh… and you have YEARS to get there. We run through the rest of the upcoming events like Community Day: Zorua, DMAX Lake Guardians, Part 1 of the Halloween event and even some Wild Area updates. In any case we will be playing close attention to not only the cadence of events, but looking out a bit further from events to help us better plan and keep the important stuff front of mind. Our Professor’s Principle this week is a follow up to last week’s topic about Priorities. We mentioned that priorities only take shape when they are called on, which is what Ken experienced this last week. Something as simple as shifting a priority away from the game, created a positive weekend and a positive environment. While missing the community gameplay was a real feeling, finding a way to not regret what you chose is a great challenge that is VERY rewarding.

Priorities Are Hard
Lured Up Podcast 411: Priorities Are Hard Live Streamed on - 9/29/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor Whelp. City Safari: Boston was washed out, and the Northeastern US paid the price. The Nor’easter that took out the event was no joke, with coastal flooding, 50 mph winds, and insane amounts of rainfall. With the internet being upset that Scopely Explore doesn’t control the weather, at least Adam was able to enjoy his Friday night in Boston at Fenway Park. Unfortunately, he didn’t leave with any Shiny Pikachu with the Fenway Background. Last weekend also had Phantump Catch Mastery, which seemed to yield way less Shiny Phantump than any other event Pokémon. Those around the world that did take part in a City Safari, were not so happy that 50% of their Research was given to the Phantump event. The rest of us made the most of the event and have been enjoying our Applin picking. With the Team GO Rocket takeover kicking off on Friday, we hope to get our fill of Balloons and we demand that you do all of them! There are plenty of events on the calendar over the next few weeks including Space Week, the Fall Marathon Buddy Trek, and Sandile Hatch Day. After the time of this recording, we learned that the City Safari: Boston has been made into a global event on October 24th and 25th! While the Stamp Rally is cancelled, there are still Boston Exclusive Pokéstops that will award encounters with Explorer Eevee. This month was stacked before that news, now it is just wild. We will also have Max Battle Day overlapping that Saturday, which could be better received as a global event. Our Professor’s Principle this week is about knowing what comes first. Priorities make the balance between having the most fun playing the game and getting what you want out of it a tough sell. Does how you wish you were playing the game align with how you actually play the game? In life, it makes sense to understand how your priorities can help shape your values, and the need to understand that when you prioritize something, it means that you are deprioritizing something else.

You Have Permission
Lured Up Podcast 410: You Have Permission Live Streamed on - 9/22/2026 We reflect on how many different ways there are to play this game. We rattle off a bunch of different gaming disciplines and then open it up to a bigger conversation. What are your top three ways to play this game, and does your current playstyle support it. You’d be surprised how often you hear that people want to play the game in ways other than they already do on the daily. It speaks to how hard it is to change our habits in this game. Last weekend brought us Super Mega Staraptor Raid Day, which was a blast even with it not being a Legendary or even a rare Shiny. The event train isn’t slowing down either, even with no weekly event next week. This weekend brings the City Safaris around the world as well as the overlapping Phantump Catch Mastery Day. The October Content Update brings us plenty of repeat bosses, Spotlight Hours, and Max Battles. Our Professor’s Principle follows up on one from a few weeks ago. We previously discussed protecting your peace, by eliminating or distancing ourselves from people, situations, or environments that rob us of our energy. This week we find places to use that recovered energy. We discuss the concept of joy as a place, and how to find that place and spend time there. We struggle with giving ourselves the permission to slow down and enjoy our time in a place of joy, because of feelings like guilt or anxiety want to pull us away. Seeking out places where we feel most like ourselves, will put you in the path of joy.

Give It Time
Lured Up Podcast 409 Live Streamed on 9/15/2026 In a world where we only get one Team GO Rocket Balloon per day, we must push on. Gible Community Day Classic was awesome and seemed strong enough to earn being the only Community Day of the month.Mega Squads was pretty fun, with 5K eggs being a bit harder to find than many would of liked. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's revisit the Balloons now that the dust has settled a bit. A good amount of response to the Balloons was not necessarily from rural Trainers, but Trainers that were advocating for them. Even thinking that there could be a silver lining to the Balloon reduction then you were immediately dismissing the needs of rural Trainers. It opens a discussion about how we create content with the assumption that you have access to engage with the gameboard in some meaningful way. We also understand how some rural Trainers live in such a barren area, that there may not be a PokéStop for miles. Two things can be true, meaning we shouldn’t have to put disclaimers on everything we say, just because we are speaking to the broader playerbase. The game won’t give you much time to think about anything, as the event calendar remains packed and constantly rolling on. There are plenty of events to cover in the coming weeks, but we did have the announcement and first drop of information on GO Wild Area, coming IRL to Japan and Mexico, and Globally this November. We run through what we know so far, and plan to have a trickling out of details for the event in typical, Pokémon GO Fashion. Our Professor’s Principal this week is Give it time before you give it meaning. In Pokémon GO, the Balloon reduction caused a lot of emotion to overflow. To make things harder, while Scopely did come out and confirm the change, they still provided no context or explanation as to why this happened. All we can do is speculate on what is to come, and need to be prepared to accept that nothing may be coming. We discuss the balance between respecting your initial reaction to something, and not taking what you think will happen down the road as the only possible outcome.
