360 - In Studio with It's Super Effective at GO Tour: Kalos in Los Angeles

·1 hr 26 min·5 clips

Steve, Bobby, Chris, and Kyle reunite in person for the first time in seven years to record a dual episode from GO Tour: Kalos.

The episode begins with the hosts reuniting in person for the first time in seven years to record a dual episode from GO Tour: Kalos in Los Angeles. They open with news about Nintendo asking a robbed Manhattan Pokémon store, Poki Court, to change its name and logo, discussing the optics of corporate enforcement versus community support. The main segment focuses on reviewing GO Tour: Kalos, with Steve describing it as underwhelming compared to past tours like Hoenn, citing missing features like adventure effects, roaming Pokémon, and collection challenges. The group debates the new super mega raid system, questioning if it's only accessible to whales or feasible for free-to-play players, and critiques the choice of Pokémon like Malamar and Victini. They also discuss the event's structure, spawns, and lack of urgency during the day. A mid-episode break leads to a discussion on the re-release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch for $20, with Steve arguing nostalgia hampers gameplay and criticizing old mechanics like poor move pools. The final segment reviews the separate Mega Night event, costing $20-$30, covering the raid rotations, cold weather, limited food options, and DJ Glitch's performance, with mixed opinions on its value. Throughout, the hosts share personal experiences, compare past events, and analyze Niantic's decisions.
