It’s been a long time coming but I’ve finally reached level 40!!! Being a rural player this is a big accomplishment to reach. Thank you to all of my friends along the way, couldn’t have gotten there without you all!!! #PokemonGO #Level40

@TravisRockhold @dennyhamlin Last two races he’s broadcasted ends due to rain too lol.

I joked last week that @dennyhamlin better not mess up tonight. And he didn’t. Solid broadcast. You would think all 3 guys call races every week.

@NASCAR Holy shit man. So sorry to hear.

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old. We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

@jeff_gluck Some great racing and we gotta throw the yellow.

Zilisch P3, Jones P4, Ty Dillon P8 have been the pleasant surprises of the All-Star Race so far.

@jeff_gluck That might be the dumbest rule they’ve come up with yet for an all star race 😂

If they can repair their cars, any locked-in drivers in the garage can just fix it for these two segments and return to show up on the lead lap for Segment 3.

@traderlumi Gonna miss you on the pod but props to you for doing what you think is best for you!

Just wanna send some love to all the people who have supported Hidden Power Podcast. If you missed the news, I will be leaving the show (but will still be on my own channel, and the podcast will be living on without me)! docs.google.com/document/d/1BB…

@jeff_gluck 2x2 gridlock time

Caution for debris

@soulsilverart I just don’t see how champions is pay to win, if you have pokemon in home to use you don’t have to pay a dime. All you would be missing out on is cosmetics

I fervently disagree.I played Warzone since day 1 (until 2025)and I NEVER needed to spend a penny on that game to have the full experience. The only requirement was buy the main COD game(which I would’ve done anyway)to unlock everything I needed. Tbf this was the perfect model for Pokémon to use as well. Pokémon fans & many casuals buy the mainline games no matter what. So when we’d buy the next mainline game, every new Pokemon, item and main gimmick in that game should be transferred over to a completely free-to-play Champions. Update champions with patches, have a free battle pass that can skip tiers if you pay, and mirco-transactions on cosmetics and fun extras. Just copy Warzone 1:1 and it woulda been golden. Guess that’s the difference between free-to-play and free-to-start.

@JoeMerrick Soooo bare bones… how hard could it have been to put items In the game.

I've got to say, the lack of item options is going to hurt this game in the short term and I think very much damage VGC in general when VGC shifts over next month What on earth were they thinking?

@SerebiiNet Time to run Kings Rock Scizor since I can’t get life orb

Serebii Update: We have compiled a page detailing all the currently available items in Pokémon Champions It can be found @ serebii.net/pokemonchampio…

@RandomNascarLap Unfortunately not eligible for the championship cause he missed two races.

@JoeMerrick Cool I can’t get dusknoir to spawn for the life of me so I guess I’ll put all his habitats in caves.

So we have worked out and can confirm that the day/night requirements for Pokémon spawning in Pokémon Pokopia aren't the full picture. If the habitat is bright, a day only Pokémon will spawn at any time. If the habitat is dark (like in a cave) a night Pokémon will spawn any time

@AyakaMain5000 @JoeMerrick Nah they don’t get deleted it’s just not able to be viewed as ZA doesn’t have ribbons so home doesn’t show them when they are last in that game, and since they can’t come back out unfortunately you won’t be able to see them in home until they go into a game that supports ribbons

@JoeMerrick Do we know, BTW, if transferring the Pokemon to ZA deletes Ribbon data? Even in HOME now, I cannot see the ribbons of Pokemon I've sent to ZA.

So I am convinced that the Pokémon HOME - Z-A cut off isn't a language issue. With Pokémon that accounts on the ES-LA language that come in from GO, they're locked from being put into games without that language. And, HOME still keeps the data for the other games too. 1/?

@jeff_gluck Much more, feels like every race is important and not just throwaways

I've heard this from a few people. Does this resonate with any of you?

@GPLapsJake He’s earned that large points lead, plus every still has plenty of races to make the points up and go on runs. Every race counts the same amount of points

I feel great for Tyler Reddick but gah he is going give any season-long points haters some fuel 🫣

@PhillyBeatzU Would also allow people to obtain some mons with the Champion Ribbon, one of the oldest ribbons that hasn’t come back in a game since. Ribbons aren’t displayed in FRLG but it still gives the ribbon to each pokemon when you beat the Elite 4!

Only Pokemon Home homies will Truly understand why Fire Red & Leaf Green are a very big deal GAMEBOY ADVANCE MARK

@soulsilverart I’ll wait for them to do hopefully do Emerald. I have both FireRed and LeafGreen in my collection still so I can play them whenever I want so I don’t really need to get these. I will buy Emerald RIGHT away though if that happens in the future

I’m genuinely sorry if you love FRLG…but is this FRLG port the end of *old*ports? I definitely won’t be buying it(at first). I’m curious to know if you’ll be buying them? 20$ EACH is wild to me,20$ for both I’d do. We don’t have a lot of the features confirmed yet so I’m waiting to fully judge-but no online trades is huge when I want to use a Ninetales and Scyther on my team and not spend 40 on both games… Also it’s hilariously painful that Japan gets these amazing box sets and the rest of the world just wishes we could. Idk seems like a lot people see this as having too many cons and not enough pros?🤷🏼‍♂️

@brettbphoto I really like it, gives the guys who are really good for the regular season the buffer over the guys who barely get in.

New Chase format 10 races, 16 drivers, zero eliminations 55 points for win instead of 40 NO MORE WIN AND IN!!!!!!!! This will be fun

@jeff_gluck Very happy with this

NASCAR president Steve O’Donnell: “The Chase is back.” 10 races, 16 drivers. Most points wins. No more win-and-in. Top 16 in points make it. “We believe we’ve struck that balance…best of both worlds.” nytimes.com/athletic/69598…

How are we feeling this morning, NASCAR Nation?
