Big week, Pokémon fans.
This week, Jim and Christian dive into the newly revealed Pokémon 30th Anniversary TCG set, including the return of the iconic Base Set Charizard, a lineup of classic cards from throughout the game's history, and the brand-new Futuristic Rare cards. They also break down the latest Pokémon card theft making headlines, Pokémon's unexpected apology over a card art mistake, and the reopening of the Pokémon Cafe in Tokyo with an all-new menu.
Then it's time for the main event: LEGO Pokémon. The duo discusses the fan-voted LEGO Pokémon card builds before taking a deep dive into all 12 newly announced LEGO Pokémon sets, from Mewtwo's Lab Break and Charizard vs. Jolteon to the surprisingly divisive Smart Brick technology. Which sets are worth your money, and which ones leave them wanting more?
Plus, Pokémon Champions heads to mobile, NAIC is almost here, summer merch hits Pokémon Center, and the PokéFact of the Week explores the strange and surprisingly gross origins of Grimer and Muk.
