Welcome to the Pokémon GO Podcast! This week Brian, ‘Pokémon’ Joe, and Charles (in order of XP) are as excited as Pokémon Trainers on their 10th birthdays. Niantic pulled an Oprah-esque “you get a new feature, YOU get a NEW feature,  EVERYBODY GETS NEW FEATURES” as they dumped a GIGANTIC new patch with a plethora of  exciting updates and features; we breakdown as many of the changes as possible and even get MORE updates and clarification as we’re recording. Find out that 35 isn’t just a requirement to becoming President of the United States. Finally, a big shout-out the first L40 Trainer/Patron, in our amazing community, Rod Hicks!! Congrats on the achievement, eyestrain, and burnt out pairs of shoes!
Be sure that YOU get as close to Pokémon GO Fest Chicago as possible, even vicariously through Charles. He’s evolved from his filthy first form into something more and he’s going to be the Community’s eyes and ears in Chicago. We want to make sure that we and ALL of us have an opportunity to be a part and we need YOUR help. Head over to https://www.gofundme.com/pokemongopodcast and help if you can. There are donation reward levels, but rest assured Charles will make you feel the love regardless of what you give. We’re putting this out to YOU, our wonderful, amazing, and outstanding COMMUNITY, so we can give you a voice and representation at this history making event!
Thanks to our awesome Patrons we will keep producing and improving the Pokémon GO Podcast.   With your help everyone “catch ‘em all,” and you can start by going to giantsizeteamup.com/support/ and growing your community!  We thank you all, for your support, and we hope you can help us serve you better as the show continues to grow and evolve.
