Pokémon Scarlet and Violet got updated to v1.3.0, but no performance updates were applied. We go over what did change and what didn't change. Pokémon HOME still doesn't have a date, just Spring for now, but we talk about how Hisui Pokémon would make the most sense after Regulation C is over. Speaking of VGC, the Global Challenge 3 got announced and starts very soon! Finally, we kick off the episode talking about how the Scarlet and Violet TCG sold out in Japan and how theft is happening in America.
