  • A PokéCast Worthy of a Master Ball!

    Lured Up is what happens when two absolute Pokémaniacs grab microphones, load up Pokémon GO, and decide dignity is optional. Ken and Adam are an elite combo, dishing out news, banter, laughs, hot takes, and enough cheeky nonsense to keep even the grumpiest Snorlax awake.

    Ken’s love for Chansey is no mere p... more
