It’s the most epic episode of The Play! Pokémon Podcast yet! In Episode 4, Jay and the Ace Trainers get to know the champions of the Players Cup a little bit better with some interviews. Santino Tarquinio and Kay get vocal about VGC, Jack Millar joins Mia to talk TCG, and Shadowcat and Brendan grapple with the big questions for Pokkén Tournament DX. But there’s more: we go in-depth on our coverage of the TCG finals, and the Question of the Week causes our usually sweet Ace Trainers to get a little spicy… Enjoy!
