Incensed! A Pokémon GO Podcast

The One With GOFEST 2026 Locations & Forever Friends Dec 14, 2025

Show notes

This week,

We open with a long-overdue Level 80 progress check-in, breaking down how our grind is going, what’s changed since the last update, and whether the road to Level 80 still feels achievable (or mildly terrifying).

Next up is News Part 1, featuring a full breakdown of the brand-new Forever Friend system. We explain how it works, how many points you’ll need, what rewards and unlocks are on offer, and whether this new progression layer is worth the effort for a remote trade? That leads straight into huge Pokémon GO Fest 2026 news, with live locations officially announced for Tokyo, Chicago, and Copenhagen. Naturally, we debate whether any of these cities are making our travel plans.

The fun ramps up with the Flex Game, where Gold Tier Patreon supporters choose the categories — expect big flexes & bold claims.

We then reflect on the December Community Day Weekend, sharing our best catches, how much we actually played, and what Community Days in 2025 got right (and wrong).

In News Part 2, we cover the upcoming Grookey Community Day and dive into Winter Holiday Part 1 & 2, looking at bonuses, spawns, and seasonal vibes. We round things off with a listener WhatsApp message and, of course, Shinies of the Week.

This week,

We kick things off with Mark’s electrifying warning: “DANGER DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE!” as the trio deliver their full High Voltage event review. From spawns and bonuses to frustrations, surprises, and standout catches, nothing escapes their inspection — followed by a quick but spark-filled? chat about Dynamax Eevee.

Next up, the boys revive a classic favourite: What The Ducklett (OG Edition) — where they attempt to guess the Pokémon using only its Pokédex entry. Expect chaos. Expect confusion. Expect Ian to overthink it.

Then it’s time for Ask The Intern, as the hosts address the new Pokémon GO ban wave that hit countless Trainers — including many who insist they weren’t cheating. What went wrong? What does it mean? And how do players protect themselves going forward?

The episode surges into The News, spotlighting the brand-new Pokémon GO Season: Precious Paths. The hosts break down the highlights, early impressions, and gameplay shifts, before Mark introduces the details of GO Pass December— including GO Pass vs. GO Pass Deluxe, featured Pokémon, reward tracks, and those mysterious timed incubator bonuses.

The lads kick things off with a full Pokémon GO catch-up, chatting through the ZA tie-in event and Mega Rayquaza Raid Day – did the Sky High Pokémon live up to the hype, or did the event fall flat?

The One With Level 80 XP & We Go Into The WIld! Oct 19, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week,

We break down one of the most chaotic updates in recent Pokémon GO history! The brand-new Weekly Challenges feature launched… and then promptly broke the game. From login loops to forced reinstalls, the feature was live for only a few short hours before Niantic pulled the plug. In true Incensed! fashion, the lads ask: What even were these challenges meant to be—and do we actually care if they come back?

Then, the hosts tackle a massive news drop — the long-awaited Level 80 update! The Trainer Challenges from Level 71 to 80 have finally been revealed, and it turns out you’ll only need 203 million XP to max out, but will have an eternity of tedious tasks. Is this an exciting new grind or an over-the-top challenge for the elite few? Expect honest takes, plenty of laughs, and some spicy opinions as they debate the future of Pokémon GO progression.

Plus, Milo hosts “Play Your Dex Right: Left or Right Edition”, the returning fan-favourite guessing game with a twist. The crew also review Solosis Community Day, react to a wholesome WhatsApp voice message, and celebrate your #ShiniesOfTheWeek.
