Lured Up Podcast 416 with The Trainer Club Live Streamed on - 11/3/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor  FOLLOW THE TRAINER CLUB - https://linktr.ee/Thetrainerclub  We are very excited to welcome The Trainer Club back to the show! Making his 4th appearance on the show, Billy has been creating in the Pokémon GO space for many years, and has remained at the forefront of the creative market. In his past appearances, we have always had great conversations not only about the game, but about how it can influence life. We have carried some of Billy’s lessons with us since he first shared them with us. We start off with a discussion on how the Pokémon GO content space has changed over the years. From the early days where YouTube was king and only a handful of creators dominated the Trainer’s screens, to the present where short form and vertical content is part of everyday life. We dig in to how Billy’s educational and tip content has made way for more experiential content. His real world approach to how being a sponsored creator works and dictates the ability to cover events globally, comes through in his content and his direction to build real world communities. Billy’s focus on health and well being brought us to touch on the parallels that Trainers face both in game and off screen. Using Pokémon GO as a tool to get outside, and once there, using your own motivations to take a moment to put the phone down, and connect with your environment. The GO Plus can put in work while you enjoy the trees, the wind, the wildlife around you. A simple tip like this is what makes The Trainer Club so special. The Training doesn’t end when you put the phone down. In the future we can look for more educational and experiential content from The Trainer Club, with Billy being a positive force in a sometimes negative world.
