I love hearing the different stories. Definitely one of my favorite podcast 😊👍⭐️
Anyone who loves Pokémon go and it’s community should totally listen to this podcast. 10/10 great podcast.
I love the “Trainers Eye” episodes of this show. It goes in-depth on players experiences with the game from day one to present, Where as other podcasts may touch on these subjects they tend to focus more on news and updates.
This is a unique and fantastic podcast. Glad I found it!!
