Trainer Tips Hi Nick, hope all is well.
Trainer Tips hey nick I'm from India and I'm early, and guess what I have been playing in India from day 1, level 28 now
I actually watched their vlogs on their channels (Even Jash's........In Japanese) just to get behind the scenes of this trip LOL
Trainer Tips thx for sharing jash' channel, really wanted to check it out :)
thanks for acknowledging Reversal and Ben.
I love to see the Pokemon Go community come together like this. I had a huge grin on my face throughout the entire video. Hopefully, someday, I will be able to go to an event like that and try and find a group of people that just love playing the game.
Am i the only one who waits the whole Day just for Nick his New vid :)
Diego van den Hemel hi
Diego van den Hemel same
Nope
i do that too
Diego van den Hemel nope me tooo
"The humans have migrated!" exclaimed one pokemon to his buddy.
"Cluster spawn, I think. They used to be over there" remarked the other.
Loya Frostwind here, throw this ball at them and then use them for battling other humans later on.
"Raspberries? How lame. Wouldn't a cheeseburger work better"
"No. Maybe use this $20 bill."
Loya Frostwind on point 😂😂😂👌🏼
12 lapras, im jealous. what I'm not jealous of it's japan's post-event gym meta. 7 lapras per gym
After yesterday's stat balances Lapras might have some decent counters in Machamp, Jolteon, Hitmonlee, Magneton & more. Lots of fighting and electric types got sizable buffs that should help them take down Lapras faster.
Trainer Tips HIIII NICKKKKK
Dank Lapras 2 op
Trainer Tips hi
Notice me
I just want to say, these episodes of you in Japan are my favorite. You're with a group of dedicated, super fun players having the best time ever. It's also rad to see you laughing and joking around so much.
Nick, I think it's awesome how you were able to turn this trip into a giving back event. I just wanted to say that you're a hell of a person. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the upcoming videos!
"Kinda looks like Chance." LOL. That shiit had me weak, it really does.
That was adorable when he gave that guy the go plus :)
I am so happy we did not get a Lapras event outside of Japan. I think that events like this not only devalue the featured Pokemon, but hurt all other Pokemon. Now in Japan, the Lapras isn't a valuable asset, because everybody has 50 of them. And no doubt that every gym has many of them defending it. I think that the strongest Pokemon should be something special, something that you need time, patience and effort to attain, so that when you get one, it is not only incredibly exciting, but it really benefits and enhances your Pokedex.
solesupremebeing I'm at 29 now and at 24 when I picked up the first 10kmegg I'd found in about a month and a Lapras appeared on my screen it was one of the best moments I will ever have in the game. Also at level 23 a cp??? Ran away and it was the worst. The best has to be dragonite a dragon breath dragon claw 2400 at level 27. I maxed it out at 2831 for 29 but for some reason dragonite was buffed even though it is the best Pokemon in the game.
And then an earthquake hit like two days later :(
Small tsunami waves hit Sendai & Ishinomaki, both places that we visited. Thankfully damage was minor and very few injuries were reported. The Lapras event did end early due to the tsunami warning, however.
The tsunami was so big all the Lapras were washed away
Aw man!
Sad that the event ended so soon, but can understand. Hope this will not effect the outpouring of income into these communities as a result.
Thank you for the updates, was waiting daily for your vlogs.
Glad you are home, Happy Belated Birthday.
Char
Really, looking to get noticed and all that by posting the same comment over and over?
Watching old Trainer Tips videos is always a great time. It’s amazing to see the growth of the game, the channel, and Nick.
you guys are all so nice (,: when i watched reversal give that guy his pogo plus i was smiling so big kindness is so amazing
hands down the best episode to date. I've watched it multiple times!!! Japanese trip was gold.
when people say pokemon go is dead...
Noct Ikr
far from dead my friend
They are just trollin'
Noct Pokémon go is dead I would go to Japan too if I got paid $20000
Jeffxm003
nah its not, They still have million ++ users playing the game each day. Even getting new ones every now and then. Sure, they lose a load of user too, but they do just as well as other top apps. They just have way more users to lose because of how big they am. That is why a loss of say, 10 % means a few million, where other top apps only lose some thousand at the same % rate.
Thank you so so much Nick for showing us a part of that town,also for not forgetting what you went there to do. The way you focused on showing us just how many people went for this event was great. I liked watching Snax enjoy the trip as well. Fantastic Job Nick! !!
Being wet in my clothes (especially shoes and socks) is one of my biggest pet peeves. You are definitely a Lapras hero, sir.
THE CANDY SHOP WOMAN IS A LEGEND. She straight up uses a feckin abacus! An ABACUS! In future AF Japan!
Crazy enough, some people are faster using abacus'ss (abacuses? abacai?) than others using calculators- especially in Japan. There are all these crazy shortcuts to using them that I can't even wrap my head around...
I was saw a documentary of kids using abacus, then after a period of time they removed those from the children but they kept using an "imaginary abacus", moving their fingers seemingly on air while doing very hard calculations in just 2 seconds. It was awesome. I think those children were Chinese.
RIGHT! That may actually be what I was thinking about...
Hey Jamie Ikr Japan is so advanced in technology specially Tokyo but they're economy is low and use old things still
Its amazing how pokemon go can bring so many people together, love that Nick found a little Lapras hunting crew as well haha
those candies look so good!
Alex Andrews yea a was getting hungry and a ate an appel LOL
Reversal respect gains through the roof for just giving that go plus away. it's not the monetary value. it's the willingness and want to. shows humbleness !
Who else is so excited for the CP changes? I can finally use gengar, alakazam and rhydon!
Spartan- 1337 it's great!
Spartan- 1337 and suprisingly Rhydon is super effective againts snorlax
not really because they dont actually change the balance, abra and fighting types dont spawn often enough, Gengar and Jynx got buffed.. but are weak to ground, meaning Rhydons everyone has wipe them out.... only then for them to be fodder for the overbuffed waters. so the changes haven't actually done anything, except, when the novelty of Rhydon wears off, the gyms will just by Vaporeons, I used Wigglytuff against snorlax in training.. but that got nerfed
Yeeeesh, I can finally make great use of my Rock Smash/Stone Edge Rhydon!
Use them as your buddy. I do like the changes. Was upset cause lost CP on my Archanine but gain much more than I lost. Finally got Level 28 today. My son got level 23 yesterday. My grandson at level 15.
Nick you have a gift. You are very likable. I love seeing the world through your eyes. Thank you.
12 Lapras and i go hard for a Koffing...
Calm down, Metapod.
Antonio.M Aguilar i feel ya dude 😭
hahahahaa lol so true 😂
I have one of those on my sightings right now... dont see Koffing that often.. shame Niantic nerfed weezing
Antonio.M Aguilar I just got a Weezing
Damn that was hella nice of Reversal to give the dude a GoPlus... Great guy right there ladies and gentlemen, we need more genuine people like that!
Reversal shouting in front of a temple is the kinda thing that makes museums not want to be in Pokémon GO
Rukura lmao exactly
I thought that to, he should have shown more respect for the people in the area.
The temples and shrines are outside. You can talk freely on temple grounds. It's not considered disrespectful. If it's the type you can enter, then you should tone down your volume.
V Love-Williams So you're saying it's fine to shout multiple times in what is considered a place of worship?
Rukura Kids play at temples and shrines all the time. Local temples/shrines are generally not quiet spaces and sometimes even have parks/playgrounds around them or very close. It does depend on the temple/shrine, but these local shrines/temples in particular usually don't have such strict codes of conduct.
2:00 Ben with the sneak diss LOL 😝
Did anyone else notice that if you spin a PokeStop and your bag is full, it'll no longer count as a spin. You'll be able to empty your bag and spin again, unlike before, when you'll spin, it'll say your bag is full, and then it'll turn purple and you can't respin.
Warner Concepcion yeah finally :P
Warner Conception exactly! that annoys me cus I can't get xp or get my daily streak bonus till I empty my bag
I just dump some pokeballs whenever that happens. I prefer it this way now.
yea me too i thought this was a bug really annoying...
Great to see you having such an awesome time Nick!, those guys you met seemed like cool lads
12 Lapras in 1 day pfft , caught 20+ Pidgeys today brah :-)
Man it's so good getting different viewpoints of the same tale with you, Rev and Ben. I've been watching the videos on all the channels and it is awesome!
I love the difference between Nick and reversal. Nick's there for culture n to help the cause. Reversal only cares about lapras.
Really digging the low fi hip hop. just when I think your videos can't get better you start incorporating my favorite genre of music. Bless you nick.
ditto is officially out! i just caught a rattata and it started shining purple, and registered ditto to the pokedex. im guessing that its not just me.
At 12:30 the one you said "Looks like Chance." I had while in Shizuoka. One of my Japanese friends there gave some to me and said, "You'll love it! It's for babies." And then she smiled and laughed maniacally. I didn't know how to respond haha
I still have No lapras until now 😭
+Christopher Nuñez You mean "earlier?" Later means in the future. It doesn't make sense unless you time tracked. JK.
+Christopher Nuñez Oh. Okay. Dude, you’re so lucky. I NEED a Lapras.
+Christopher Nuñez Thanks!
Cindy Devina I have 2 from 10k eggs
Cindy Devina I still don't have snorlax, lapras, or dragonite
This has been absolutely amazing to watch, I think most people who are watching you are watching the all three of your channels. And we never thought that all three would actually meet up and become friends. Bro vacation.
Reversal is a classy guy not surprised at all I luv watching top trainers work together
FINALLY !! Been waiting for your videos... had to watch others to get my fix. Thanks nick!!
who's the youtuber that gave that guy a free go plus? You said go check him out but don't know his username
BenTimm1
vanburen20 he' reversal, not bentiimm1
vanburen20 it's not BenTimm. It's reversal pokemon go.
Lila DiMasi He is Reversal, check him out!
+Lila DiMasi no its Reversal
Congratulations Nick..wow!! The scenery, the amazing people and stunning views are spectacular and i'm so glad you were able to go bro! Keep up the great work.
What tracker were those guys using
abdullghoriO1 that's what I want to know
abdullghoriO1 pokevs.com
abdullghoriO1 Nick don't use trackers... its cheating lol
abdullghoriO1 u gotta pay tho
+Krisang dude pokevs was shut down several months ago
That guy who gave the Pomemon Go plus as well as his dedication to the game and his fans is worth subscribing to. Respect.
I just caught a DITTO!!!!!!!!! It was in the disguise of a pidgey then when I caught it, it said "oh?" And started flashing like it was evolving and turned into a DITTO! I'm so stoked!!!!
Really?
MrJovialJoseph Yeah, new event has Ditto disguised as either Rattata, Pidgey, Zubat and Magikarp
Does it say right away when u catch it?
Sortaboring yes. Right after the word "gotcha"I just uploaded a video. I just caught it!!!
Have you used it in gyms? Can it transform? Sorry for asking so many questions
I have been waiting as patiently as I can for this, thanks for all the hard work, Nick!
Nick i have an idea when it comes to catching those reeeealy far away pokemon. Throw when it is in the middle of the jump. I think the ball goes further when the pokemon is in the air. I often noticed that I had overthrown a ball when a pokemon landed after a jump. I throw very consistent so I assume the mid air throw might get more range ? Just a theory
Sure its too late now but maybe you can test it another time when encountering these type of pokemon. I only had like one dragonite and lapras to catch by luck now but had the same struggle i believe.
wow, this is by far one of the best Pokemon Go videos you've uploaded. thanks Nick!
So he's not catching anything besides the lapras ? I mean all those lures !!!! ALL THOSE POKEMON !!
CATCH THEM ALL NICK !!!
Titi Lop I'm sure he is but only documenting the Lapras'
He probably needed to conserve balls, too
Don't underestimate the effect of freezing hands. The weather where I live is around freezing point these days, and if I need to choose between a common spawn and putting my hands in my coat pockets for 2 minutes, I'll take the pockets.
No, we know because he looks at his most recent catches. Unless he catches the commons and transfers them?
Most likely keeps the 500+CP Pokemon or ones he need and probably transfers the rest he doesn't need
The scenery in this episode was rly beautiful, I have always loved rainy weather :)
how did your friend know where and homuch time left for lapras ?
xavi er radar.
alt queque yeah but what one xp
xavi er trackers work in Japan
wiESELfredx3 ow ok thx
rdepaul34 what? so he's not allowed to follow his friends?
Reversal is the nicest kindest dude I have ever seen!
Hi Nick thanks to you the game is more balenced and Faster and specialized attackers are now stronger
but this lead to a huge disavantege to pokémon Like Blastoise that have a good defence and sp defence, so to be fair defence shouldnt be specialized to be more accurate to the games
Toniblast there is a special defence in the original games tho
Squiddy Productions yes i know i mean both defence and specialized defence are importante to a pokémon be good gym defender
Squiddy Productions but you can be good in special attack or in fisical attack to be a good gym attacker
i hope you could understand and sorry for the bad english
oh i get what you mean, and i think your english is pretty good
I seriously enjoyed how the other RUclips Pokémon people got TOGETHER to enjoy this event.
Little disappointed this was a sponsored event and not just out of Niantic's good will.
its awesome to see groups of trainers hanging out like this
Do you have any plans on going to Europe?
10:32 the melody is actually also there, to check if all the sirenes are working (in case of an emergency they all need to be working)
10:44 not sure what he's trying to say, but such a melody is also played in Tokyo for example
Nick (or anyone), do you know if using a lucky egg during Thansgiving event would let you get 4 times XP ?
Jorge Almeyda yea
Jorge Almeyda good question
Jorge Almeyda yes
Jorge Almeyda it would have
11:32 "kinda looks like chance" Lmfaoo
Im surprised y'all are using trackers. You knew the IV's/moves of that Lapras b4 it was shown! :D
stons-memba berry the same lapras can have different cp levels for twp people but it will have the same iv's and moves for everybody
Oh! I memba! My bad!
12:56 Oh my... An abacus... didn't know they were still being used!!! Wow I'm amazed!! This is so interesting to see!!
13:02 Whips out calculator -.-''
shout out to the notification squad
NOTIFICATION SQUAD CHECK IN
joaobranco17 Check in 3
Don't tell my dad but I'm gay
joaobranco17 suuuup
the quality of this video was soo worth the wait!!
If I had that money donated to me, that store would be without candy for sure.
Niantic = douchbags.... They should've done the event for free, how can they help if they ask for that amount of money? That money could build a lot of stores. And they just upgraded lapras spawn a little bit, and it's a lapras. If they wanted to help, they could spawn a legendary, that would mean, thousands of people from all over the world. Anyways, i guess niantic does it for the money as we all know.
Monk Wales you clearly dont know how the world works. its an investment. give out a bit of money and it will return in even bigger quantities if all goes well. nothing is free
Do you really think that about 10k turists will give back those 300k they spend plus profit? Oh yeah, I don't know how the world works. I just know that those 300k could be used to improve shops and niantic could really help doing it for free with more things than a few lapras. They made millions lol Do you really think that 150k is much for them?
Well niantic has no obligation to do it for free if they aren't a non-profit company. We just saw one person out of the thousands that went there plus it wasnt only on one day. How exactly would you improve a shop tho? Why would you spend creating more shops or improving them if there is nobody to sell to. This event was to attract tourism to help the city. Not to rebuild it. That has been done already. And since pokemon is big in japan it worked sweetly. Money is money. Lol you think 150k is nothing to them either?
+Monk Wales I appreciate where you're coming from, but $300k/10k=$30 per person. I'm pretty sure the profits in the area will exceed that. Plus you then have the occasional people like Nick who will be donating considerably more than $30. All things considered, Niantic could have charged a lot more and it would have still been profitable.
you just produce my favourite videos on youtube right now!
Even with bad weather you turn it into nice images.
ditto is live I just caught it as a rattata it caught and went oh! then it turned in to a ditto
im so totally stoked
Dru Ging stop lying
im not its really happening
He is not lying
Dru Ging I swear he's not lying the same thing happened to me if anyone doesn't believe me I can dm you a pic Ibrahim6pack
Thank you Nick for showing us your day in Japan it was really nice to watch and im am super happy right now dont know why :D
I thought ice shard ice beam is the best move for lapras? Or is that wrong?
Robbie Beswick best defensive yes
Blizzard is not a bad charge move either (for both offensive and defensive). Even though you can dodge it I think it's more difficult than ice beam.
Ice shard/ice beam is best set for defending, the best attack set is frostbreath/blizzard
how did he know the moves before looking at the moveset?
He asked the other who has already caught the same Lapras
Your editing is actually so good!
And the videos are awesome too, I love these videos!!
Awww maaaaan... I can walk to my Charizard and Venusaur, but not Lapras. Thet's the last one I'm missing, and the region locked ones ( I really feel like the only one in my town without Lapras, and I'm lvl 32 soon 33.)
I should have gone to Japan too.
You had so much fun! This was just fun to watch :)
I wonder how Nick will keep up with Vlogs and Editing while still playing Both Pokemon Go, Pokemon Sun and Moon. Must be hard...
Excellent video! Loved getting to see your awesome trip. I love the Pokémon community!!!
How did he knew where the pokemon were? Did he use a tracker then?
Brandon probably people telling where they cached something, I guess those things spread quite fast in big cities.
Brandon he's on team rocket
I agree with people above, but also I wouldn't be surprised if someone was using a tracker (not Nick). I think BenTimm1 uses one in his normal videos.
Actually I heard someone say there is 2:31 seconds left until it despawns, so tracker.
Your "struggling Nick" beacause, you completely went off your R U L E Of C H E A T I N G! all you three. Tim & Reversal. And other people in your group. you guys are just following Jash when he is using Radar! ... You guys wont event get that much of Lapras if you do not following people using 3rd Party apps. -)/$&@1 so dont judge other people doing the same thing. Niantic should not do these event when people still have access to Radar apps. Other trainers are at disadvantage to you $&@-/:; who catch all the Lapras during the event.
LMAO the lapras running while Nick was talking.... his reaction was hilarious
at 1:20 his mouth was not moving
That 5pm chime, reminds me of the 6pm fire siren in my town in Upstate NY growing up. :) We didn't have a curfew or anything, in the summer the fire siren was actually a good indication at day camp, that it was time for our parents to pick us up!
Notice me Senpai Nick
Consider yourself noticed.
Trainer Tips hey Nick I'm jeshua a pokemon trainer in live in los Angeles we should hang out and catch pokemon dude
Ahh! Thank you, made my day! Love your content!
Congratz Khateeb :)
I've had bad luck being noticed since a month ago :(
I want nick to see this tool I've been developing for ranking pokemon/movesets and counters.
pogoranker.com
It is still work in progress, but if you think it's good enough, help me spreading the word.
Thanks :)
+Khateeb Raza He noticed you.Congratulations! XD
It's good to see you smile widely, Nick! :D
When you read this i hope you are having a great day👍
Hey Nick! Great content... but also some really great film making... super editing montages...This is why we watch you! You're the best!
Nick if you can't get it after 2 balls change it to a different ball and you'll get it..
Nick, the wait for this gorgeous video was 100% worth it.
How are they able to know exactly how much time is left on a spawn? Are they using a 3rd party app?
Jason Tomlin one of them was using a tracker.
Curious Cat I'm surprised Nick would hang out with a bunch of cheaters.
Considering they were in a foreign country I don't blame whoever used it. I would not dare to wander around a city I've never been to
While he was talking about the event and I saw the lapras running away I laughed so hard thinking "he's going to be really pissed when he sees that"
"Aw no, I forgot something"
Mattman243 lol, i read this right when he said it
psychopyro20 me too haha! crazy
I came for the JASH english.
"Did it just run away from me? Anyway" Omfg...
Amazing + epic journey! Worth waiting to watch this!!!
One thing though - at 23:40 - throwing it straight and losing the curveball bonus. Consider looking at the data again. A great throw with no curve has a higher capture rate than a curveball that's below nice. Of course nice (or better) plus the curvature is an advantage that of course then needs to get compared with what percent of your curves achieve nice/great/excellent.
my nearby tracker just activated here in Denton Texas
John Swicegood I live near there maybe I'll go there just to get the tracker😀
John Swicegood I live in Dallas same here
HOLY CRAP MINE JUST UPDATED
I GOT THE NEW TRACKER!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! Did you get it
mine too! El Paso Texas
Excellent episode really enjoyed it and well done on all your Lapras catches, you really did have to work for them. Shame about the weather but you all looked to be having fun that's the main thing. Thank you Nick for trying to give us some great view shots even with that rain n cold.
Well now they need to change or add some new movesets.. cause let's be honest why I need to upgrade a Kingler that now he's one of the most powerfull attacker when the ONLY Stab move that he learn is the worst water move in the game, water pulse... Just give him his signature move Crabhammer :(
Armando Fusco good idea
yea I caught a 932 CP crabby and thought.. whats the point, higher CP then a freaking slowpoke.. but no use at all, same with all the other stuff, Dodrio seems to have better CP then Pidgeot and fearow now..
I'm not that pleased either that my 1558 cp (now 2038) Pinsir has rock smash and Vice grip either.
scott oldfield Probably they will add new moves in the game, because Pokémon like Persian, Dodrio, Kingler, Seaking, Fearow, Arbok, Beedrill and Golbat are just useless at the moment. I mean, why they don't make a role for some Pokémon, maybe those Pokémon can learn some non damaging move so they can be usefull and they'll change the gameplay by adding some strategy to It. But It's only a dream hahahah I hope that some Pokémon gets better moves or change the current one
yea, but we can't switch to them, still I have located a Pinsir nest marked on silph road. maybe i'll get lucky, but the state of glbat, fearow and Kingler is just frustrating, as is dodrio
scott oldfield I hate Pinsir hahahah It's a non common spawn in my area and they're so freaking annoying to catch, and then again they're movesets aren't that great.. Parasect is much better imo even if he got nerded for some unknow reason
NICK! WE CAN NOW CATCH DITTO!!
Kinda ironic that Nick and people are using trackers when he so publicly spoken against it. "Hey, there's lapras with 3 minutes left" yeaaaaaah
"Sweet it's a candy store". Nick back at it again with the puns
please make a video just on spending money in the area.
Will Mercep Nobody wants to see that shit
Its Static maybe people want to see where their money went and how he put it into the economy like he said he would. Giving the money back into the economy would take you to interesting places and let you meet interesting and inspirational people which would make for an interesting video that I am sure lots of people would like to see. Especially since it was a major reason as to why people donated....
complains complains... haters gonna hate
dadea Totte can you please explain how this is hating? did you just hear this term on the school playground today? By no ways is this hating. Is Trump your Dad or something?? because your definitions are way off than the real thing.
dadea Totte You're soooo fucking stupid.
Thx for Jash for the tip on how to catch lapras. Has improved my catch rate for others as well :)
that abacus tho
Awesome episode! Now you experienced about the climate I am strugeling with. It is not too cold, but rain and touchscreens and a not waterproof phone and soaked skin. Tips are appreciated.
There was an earthquake north of Tokyo yesterday. Weird.
Flipper 25 I know
I was just funnily coincidental because the reason Nick went to Japan was because the earthquake.
not really funny but coincidental for sure. i hope people over there are doing ok...
Awesome video my dude. I have an hour before work every morning, and I spend it sipping coffee and watching your videos. Keep up the great work Nick.
