It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast

The first five sets of Pokémon LEGO are here! Two of those sets cannot be purchased outright and apparently more sets will come later this year. We compare the prices of these sets to other LEGO sets and talk about the Pokémon tax. The Switch 2 gets an update to fix crashing on BDSP. The London History Museum sold out all 4 months in advance. Deluxe Pack EX returns to Pokémon TCG Pocket.

We look back on some of the Pokémon news that TPCi seemed to deem worthy to write in their retrospective. A neat Japanese Pokémon ecology book is getting an English translation and coming out this Spring. Pocket gets some updates. Pokémon teases a 30th Anniversary logo with a small trailer. We speculate why older games still might not come to the Switch or Switch 2.
