349. Jersey Baby

Lured Up Podcast 349: Jersey Baby Live Streamed on - 6/11/2025 Audio Publish Date - 6/13/2025 GO Fest: Jersey City is a wrap and our feet are killing us! This weekend is the highlight of our gameplay year and we made the most of it! Liberty State Park was the perfect venue for the event, with spread out habitats, plenty of room for Trainers, and an incredible view of the New York skyline! There is plenty to unpack about the event, but we kick things off with the weekly update.  Trainers in the USA will have two weeks to wait before GO Fest Global, and the game’s momentum continues to push. With GMAX Inteleon coming this weekend, followed by the Yamper’s debut and a week of Regi Raids. All of that comes before next weekend’s Jangmo-o Community Day! Many Trainers are feeling one of two ways, either needing a break from the game or wanting more of it. Either way, the train keeps chugging along.  Our GO Fest conversation covers a few different topics surrounding the event. From it being a month earlier than last year, to the park location and layout, to the different habitats. This year felt a bit different, with some things being great, and some things that we hope are improved on next year. The immersion was incredible, with the different habitats feeling like they had their own personality. While The Nobel Fields and Sunken Treasure felt a bit sparse, the Magnetical Marvels and Carnival Grounds felt exciting and alive. Some areas of the park were very light on POI, with all Trainers noticing the lack of Power Spots. All in all the City Experience really powers the more focused gameplay elements of the weekend, with many Trainers putting their heads in their phones while outside of the park. Some severe weather on Saturday afternoon made it challenging for a large amount of Trainers, the crowds were there to play as they made the most of a very wet situation.  Our Friday night meetup at the Pixel Lab was a huge success, as we packed the place and had a ton of fun gaming all night. We want to extend a huge thank you to all the Trainers that made it out, as it was so great to see everyone in person and spend time with the Community.  GO Fest is always a time that motivates us, and reminds us to stop and reflect on what we have done with this podcast, network, and of course this community. Thank you so much to everyone for their continued support! It means the world to us!
