In which Kevin and Mike catch up on all the things they missed while on vacation. Pokémon Unite's new roster, the 2024 World Championships, and all the stats any nerd could ever want!

In which Kevin and Mike take a long-deserved break from chatting about VGC, and instead discuss other important topics like wrestling, Ho-oh, and so much more!

Kevin and Mike discuss Brazil, online tournaments, and Zamazenta, who has turned out to be a much more of a good boy than when he was last on stage.

Sierra's history with Pokémon is as extensive as it gets! From TCG to VGC to Unite to the rest of Esports, Sierra is an amazing new addition to the competitive scene. In this episode, we discuss her journey, dealing with imposter syndrome, and what really goes on behind the casters desk.

We also reveal a new game on the podcast! It's a fun time.

You can check Sierra out on Twitter, or watch her commentate VGC, Unite, League of Legends, Wild Rift, and hopefully soon to be much more!

AND, of course, you can check us out at Pokesports.org!

It's time for North America's biggest Pokémon tournament, NAIC2022! As is our new tradition, we're in-person in Ohio, playing yet another new game we've made up.

Before that, we give a full breakdown of NAIC, talking about our runs, the general vibe of the place, and of course about the many people we met along the way. If you were one of the people we saw at NAIC, make sure you keep in touch! We were so happy to meet so many of you.

Make sure you check out Pokesports.org for an upcoming blog post about the event!

Aaron Zheng is at it again with a massively quotable phrase. Mike & Kevin, never one to back down from a meme, are here to celebrate that.

We're looking forward to seeing you at NAIC if you're going! Make sure you say hi. We love saying hi!

Check out pokesports.org for all kinds of fun stuff!

We're in the heat of competitive VGC season, so we're really in our element on this episode. 

Also, Delphox leaps into Unite, and it does a LOT of fire damage.

Check out our website at https://www.pokesports.org!

Pawmi, Smoliv & Lechonk have been revealed, and they're about as deadly as they are cute. I for one hope they all evolve, and that they all get jetpacks and LED eyes.

Unite has a new mode. Ever wanted to run around as Zapdos and see what it's like to be the final win condition? Now you can!

There were TONS of VGC events going on over the past 2 weeks. Some of them had teams you'd expect, and some of them not so much. Come check out those teams with us!

Pokesports is IN-PERSON for this episode! We hit up the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio and chat previous series, our time in Jersey, and of course, the whole reason we were there: The Secaucus Regional Challenge! Come along.

Espeon is now available to play in Pokemon Unite! It's honestly pretty okay - we'll have a deeper dive on our experience in the next episode, but we give a full rundown on things to expect with this Pokemon, as well as its moves and uses.

We're also chatting about the Victory Road VGC May Tournament. Kevin participated! How well he did...we'll see!

Regionals in full swing, Aeos Cup ready to go, and dreaming about Secaucus! This episode's got it all. We've even got a new name for our Pokemon Cry-guessing game! Welcome to Fake Tears!

I swear we talk about other things in this episode, but oh my Arceus has Pokeclicker ever taken over my life.

We're speaking about regionals, VGC stats, and SO much else!

A sleepy Mike and a lucky Kevin discuss the Orlando Regionals, with its attendance sitting at over 800!

Our good buddy Rowan Hall made it to the top 10 - major shoutout to The Game Corner.

Did you really think we'd name this episode "Pokémon is an Onion"? No, but there certainly are layers.

Lots to go over today. EUIC, Kevin's streaming woes, NAIC, Toronto VGC, and so much more.

Big thanks to Skottymon for putting together the Azumaril breakdown. Stay tuned for the next one!

Did you book your ticket for Secaucus Regionals? If not, you're not the only one. It was a bit of a hot-button issue this week for people who tried to get tickets not 10 minutes into registration being open.

Also, this may or may not be the last time we talk about Azumaril.

Because it's about the rise of Rinya Sun.

Pokésports is now on Twitch once again! Make sure you're following twitch.tv/pokesports to know when we go live!

Azumarill is here in Unite and, yet again, has been deemed "Meh" by the community. Mike discovers the future Unite Numbers Episode, and Kevin recants his adventures in VGC. Mike's a fan of this episode.

While this isn't the quintessential "The TCG episode", this is certainly an episode in which Mike tries out Pokemon TCG, learns a bit about it, and shares his findings!

Don't worry - we still talk about VGC and Unite as well. It's a whole Pokemon experience this episode!

It's time to check out a new Pokémon in Pokémon Unite! But first, we've got to talk about Kevin's experience in the International Challenge. Was he successful? How is the meta these days? Kevin and Mike investigate.

Note: Video podcast will be available as soon as approval hits for this channel! Stay tuned!

This is probably going to be the most competitive episode of Pokésports that will ever include multiple Luvdiscs.

Imagine a 6v6 battle, but any Pokémon that starts with the letter "A" becomes a Luvdisc. Actually, nevermind. Don't imagine it. Listen to the podcast and see what happens.

Finally! After months of waiting, we've landed on some information of what's going on for the rest of the year. What does this mean for Sword and Shield? Let's find out.

So it looks like BDSP OU is pretty worth playing? Time to jump in!

Pokémon Day 2022 is also coming up! We're excited to see where Pokémon is headed this year.

Also, we chat Kevin's old-school pronunciation of "Raticate". 

It's time to get your sleep on! The April Fools joke that keeps on giving. Also, Regulation G is here. See if Mike and Kevin can get their thoughts out about it!

Hopefully it sticks this time - TCG/VGC/PKMNGO Live events are coming back! If all goes well, will Mike and Kevin actually be able to meet up?! We certainly hope so.

Also, Pokemon Unite prize pools aren't bad at all, huh?

The name worked too well to not be the name of the episode, don't you think?

Mike & Kevin are BACK! You better believe it, baby. It's a new era of Pokésports, just as its a new era of Pokémon. We'll chat about what we've been up to, how we've been enjoying Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and where we're taking the podcast.

Turns out that Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl might just be the diamond/pearl in the rough we've been looking for, competitively. Sure, they say they won't have any ranked, but yknow, it still seems like a fun competitive format! Let's see how this goes.   Major thanks for sticking around for 100 episodes. You all rock and we love you equally.

2 years, 99 episodes, and 2 very good bois. Mike and Kevin banter pokemonically about the upcoming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, while actively not trying to give anything away! One is spoiled rotten, the other has delicate ears.

We've come full circle, folks!

You can tell this is the Krabby episode - the boys exercise their ability to air out all laundry, dirty and clean.

We've been away for a bit, but we've got some exciting things coming up that you may want to hear!

Wow, two weeks in a row with revealing a new Pokémon. What a time to be competitive. Speaking of! Pokémon Go joins the roster of available games at Pokémon Worlds Championships. Come see what they've got in store!

Mike & Kevin discuss the new Mamoth Swine joining Pokémon Unite, as well as some potential issues for the upcoming VGC series.   If possible, please take 5 minutes to fill out a quick survey on how we can improve our website! https://forms.gle/giKMcrqHbmA2cC2z5

Folks, Unite is going through a metamorphosis! It's an absolutely wonderful time to be into this game, and Mike & Kevin will be walking you through all of the changes.

Of course, their true love lies with VGC, so they'll be walking you through 

Here are the teams built today!

In this special extra episode of Pokésports Podcast, we're joined by GoofGG, who is a member of the #1 team in all of Pokémon Unite. He and his team have achieved top spots in nearly every tournament they have participated in, and are looking to define what it looks like to be a top team in the game.

In this episode, we chat about the game, their rise to the top, and so much more!

While we wait for the next game in the Pokémon series, we've got plenty of things going on to keep life interesting. Wait...why are we waiting for BDSP if it doesn't have competitive? There's a very good answer for that. Happy Gengar Day! Spooooooky!!!

In which Kevin and Mike discuss the intricacies of Sucker Punch, Vancouver Regionals, PokeDoku, and the wild world of Logitech Mice (Call me, Logitech).

Here's the post talking about when and when not to use Sucker Punch. I warn you, it's Math: https://twitter.com/Jenkins_VGC/status/1759397443270037609

It's about time, on this beautiful Haunter Day, that we receive the wonder of Unite Tournaments! This may be an omen of things to come, or are they simply dipping their toes in the water? Let's see!

It's time for Blastoise to join us in Pokémon Unite! What's that going to mean for the game?

Also, know the difference between Winrate and Usage, and how one influences the other.

Happy Gastly Day!

Well, we finally had one heck of a Pokémon Direct! In it, we received news about Pokémon Legends Arceus, with Hisuian forms of Pokémon, as well as BDSP news! Some great, some not so great. We'll break down our thoughts on it right here!

Who'd have thought it'd happen of all days, today, on Cloyster Day!

New Pokémon in Unite! New Pokémon in VGC? New Games! Lots of new things this week - let's chat about'em.     Happy Shellder Day!

We've got a spicy week ahead of us this time with the Players Cup 25th Anniversary Invitational, featuring such names as Sejun Park, Ryota Otsubo, SupahSanti and more! We're looking forward to seeing that!  

On the Unite front, looks like an early patch has flung us deep into the dreaded Tank Meta. Kevin and Mike explain what that is, how to get around it, and what the future looks like.  

Happy Muk Day!

With this being potentially the last competitive series for Sword and Shield, Mike and Kevin discuss what that could mean.

Happy Grimer Day!

For Dewgong day, we've got a special episode of Pokésports Podcast for you. Today, it's ALL Unite, baby!

Kevin and Mike are currently topping the Unite Ladder, having come from a MOBA background. Come check out their views from the top of Unite Ranked, as well as what we can all do to continue this game going as an esport.

Xacian and Zerneas...or...wait, Zacian and Xerneas have had their time in the sun! It's time to take a step down and make way for some new mons! Kevin and Mike break down what those new Pokemon will be.

Happy Seel Day!

Time for us to get back to what we know and love; in-person tournaments! For some, this is old hat. For others, this is their first experience in an in-person Pokémon tournament! Let's go over some etiquette, experiences, and get you ready to go (safely) kick some butt!   Happy Dodrio Day!

LET'S GO, GAMEFREAK! The change made to the meta may be controversial, and it may be disliked by some, but by golly does it ever change up the meta ever so slightly, to the point that we have awoken from our half-asleep competitive Pokémon daze and are ready to play.   Good morning, y'all!   Happy Doduo Day!

Mike and Kevin took a few weeks off of the pod, but Esports marches on! We discuss the GCIII, upcoming & completed regionals, and the way to accurately get your Pokémon cards graded as PSA 1.

It's time to play some Pokémon, folks! How do you do that in a meta where everyone pretty much knows what they're doing? Is the meta stale? What can you do?   Also, the June Leeg is over and we had some VERY interesting results! We talk about that and more in today's Pokésports Podcast!   Happy Farfetch'd Day!

Nintendo E3 was in full effect today, and we've got the scoop on all things Pokémon! Wait...there wasn't any Pokémon?     Huh...okay.      The games were still super exciting though, and we're looking forward to sharing some amazing developments we've got in the pipeline for you!     Happy Magneton Day!

It's finally time to chat about Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl! The closer we get to release date without news, the more nervous we get about having a Pokémon game that doesn't use gen 5-8 Pokémon.

Let's see what that'd be like!

Happy Magnemite Day!
