#602
01/29/2024

Two players got banned at the Liverpool tournament this past weekend for using cloned Pokémon on their teams. This sparked a conversation that they didn't have enough time to make the Pokémon properly because the games have become "pay to win" because of needing to trade or buy the DLCs. Paldean Fates, the newest Shiny TCG set, has arrived. The Pikachu Van Gogh situation gets another update. Pokémon GO makes some good quality of life changes.
