Shiftry into Fall



Episode 275: the Shiftry episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast! Today, we talk news! Plus, train with us later this week when we have our Back2Basics episode about Gyms!



Pokemon GO has just introduced Max Mondays to the weekly lineup! The Harvest Festival is happening now until November 12. Get ready to dig deep during the Simply Groundbreaking event November 15 to 17. Don’t forget Wild Area! The Fukuoka Wild Area event, November 16 and 17, is Sold OUT! But you can still participate in the Global Wild Area, November 23 and 24, and get early sign up bonuses including Toxel Mask! Save the dates for next Season’s Community Days! Do you want to give the gift of Poke Coins? Now there's Walmart Gift Cards!

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, there's still time to take on Feraligator until November 10! Plus, you can now get Shiny Meloetta through Pokémon HOME for completing ALL of Scarlet/Violet’s Pokédexes.

Miz Sylver talks about Pokémon TCG Pocket, which launched Oct 30. She's a fan and thinks it would be a good intro for players new to the game, plus the art is awesome!

Pokemon SHOPPING!!! Winter Holiday items are just arriving, like the festive Three Person Maushold! It's new, but not necessarily holiday... Miz Sylver wants the Mount Moon sign. Pokémon Crocs are taking the internet by storm. Cubone is the newest Pokémon Buildabear!

Miz Sylver is addicted to the new Nintendo Music app, and the Wolf Doctor is getting it on her phone because... it's great! (For Nintendo Switch Online subscribers only!)

Have you been playing in the online Nintendo World Championships: NES™ Edition competitions?

Miz Sylver had a great time at New York Comic Con! She visited the off-site Pokemon Stellar Maze and Kodansha House, hosted TWO DAYS of StreetPass meetups, and finally got to play the Monster Hunter Wilds demo.









Miz Sylver also enjoyed the Malden Cosplay Meetup! One of many fine events in the Malden Gaming District! Past Guest Leharc Blueheart was a big part of the event and got presented an award by the Mayor, also a past guest!



And an event for this weekend... there's a Comic Swap at the Fenway Community Center, Saturday November 9, from 2-4 pm, in support of the Massachussetts Independent Comics Expo, which will be happening December 7 - 8, 2024 at the Fuller Building at Boston University!
