Hello, everyone! This is Episode 45 of "The Show 6 Podcast", where we bring you the highest quality coverage of the Play! Pokémon Championship Series for Pokémon GO! We explore the plays, the players, and everything else happening in the competitive scene.

This episode is a somber one. As you have likely already heard, the Orlando Regionals ended in enormous controversy when FireStar73's game 5 win in the Grand Finals reset was overturned. As of the time of this recording, we have not received an official announcement from Pokemon. However, we can still talk about what Speedy saw in Orlando, and the sentiment that Zzweilous has seen online. After the Orlando discussion, we move on to Queretaro, where official resources were used to support the 1st-ever LATAM broadcast. Finally, we recap Cape Town South Africa, thanks to the efforts of PvPSteve and Dracoviz. We discuss the India Qualifiers teams, and some of the Japanese trainers who have qualified for the PJCS. Oh yeah, and Sustainability Week begins soon! :D

If you're ready... go ahead and lock In, press play, and good luck, have fun!
