Happy Pokémon Day! 🎉Join us in welcoming back friend of the show Mike from Pokesports and let's go over all things Pokemon Day!! We're buzzing about the Pokémon Presents, especially the Pokémon Champions announcement – we think it's a potential game-changer for the VGC competitive scene! We also discuss the latest on Unite & TCG (new features & Mega Evolutions!), booster pack mechanics, Pokémon Legends ZA, the importance of customization, enjoying Pokémon casually, and what's next for the Pokémon world.
