We started this episode with ambitious intentions. We had planned to cover the onslaught of news and events that packed the July calendar, and discuss the monetization shift the gameplay flow has seen over the last few months. Instead, we ended up talking shop about GO Fest Global for the entire show! The GO Fest Global weekend was incredible and was filled with amazing gameplay and core memories. Adam shares his experiences playing with the Tri-City Pokémon GO group out of Rochester, NH and Ken talks about his NJ tour to 6 different Community Ambassador meetups.

This weekend brought out the best in the Community, and Ken learned a ton simply by getting out of Red Bank. From exceptionally chill vibes in Hudson County, NJ to the diehard Trainers in Essex County, the event amplified just how many different ways this game can be enjoyed.Not only is the game played by so many different walks of life, but the areas of the game that are important to different Trainers was completely diverse. With some Communities just there to hang out with friends, to others tracking their hundos to the last minute of the event. In the end, it was all about friends getting together to share their passion in an environment filled with positivity. 

This was definitely a fun episode, with a ton of laughs, interaction with the chat, and both hosts using their Gold Bottle Caps. Against the wishes of the chat, Adam decided to Hyper Train 3 HP points on his Shiny Zamazenta with a NJ Background. It was one of the most fun moments we have had on the podcast ever, with the chat nearly falling out of their chairs. Ken decided to take a fun Pokémon, Rockstar Pikachu, and take it from Nundo to Hundo. Something tells me that Adam will be done a lot sooner than Ken will be!

Huge thank you to all of the new viewers and listeners this week. We really fo appreciate all of the support, and feel so fortunate to be able to make this show every week. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Trainers. You are exactly why we do what we do.
