I played Pokémon go for only 1 month the first month it came out in 2016. I planned a trip to Japan for 28 days this past February. I decided to start playing again just before heading out. I played like crazy in Japan. Crazy raids, crazy amount of gyms and poke stops. I just came back to Canada. I feel so spoiled now playing in Tokyo. Now I’m struggling to play here

[@electrozaid2474]

You just gotta walk around when it's nice out just not much of a community out here depending on where you are

[@talonmason4243]

Trust me anywheres better than where I am. I. In the country where have to drive to places just for only 4 or 5 gyms about 20 minute drive but can't get to them and no one plays out here so can't Raid or get good pokemon spawns

[@voldymore69]

i started playin after i got back lol

[@shadowshatto]

That's what sucks about these games where its so dependent on "local" elements compared to the official pokemon games. I live in an area too where there is maybe only a dozen pokestops in like 10 miles of me and no one really plays. If you want people to feel bad about where they live or happened to be born or of their poor living situation because they can't travel, you make a game exactly like this@@talonmason4243

[@dirkderolf4021]

I just love your travel videos. The camera work, the music, the commentary. The hyperkinetic stuff on some other channels just isn’t my cup of tea. Thanks for what you do, Nick!

[@omariboyd2737]

His style really is great, I can't watch the others in the same way unfortunately. We get to slowly take in the surroundings too. Like how? Unless its a longer video when he's captured soo much and the cuts between are just faster. I think I need to revisit some videos now

[@axelsgf]

Absolutely love how calm you are and your videos, many pokemon go players are so loud, its very calming almost like watching a vlog. :]

[@thewillow3457]

So glad you got to go back to Tokyo again. It feels like old trainertips vids. I miss it so much. I follow Tokyo streamers/youtubers so I get to see Japan way more often now. I hope to some day travel and live freely, to play where ever I want in the world. Tokyo will be top of my list for sure.

[@MrJbattle17]

Any favorite creators you want to highlight/share? I’m trying to find some new ones 😎

[@Tiametmarduk]

Visited Tokyo for the first time last month, absolutely loved Japan. It’s such a magical place, in fact it got me playing PoGO again. Cheers for the video Nick, particularly loved the Mew quest you did a few years back 🤙

[@lukasmihara]

Oh, how nice to see you in Japan again! I wanted to go there too this autumn, but the Covid situation was still so unsure until recently, so I went somewhere else since I needed a timeout anyways. I hope I can go next year though. I miss this beautiful country. I found Bangkok and Hongkong not too bad, but nothing beats Tokyo I guess :)

[@WorldEaterZero]

Honestly if not Japan anywhere in SEA region city center. It's dense and pack with pokestops and sponsors stops as well. The only downside is we don't always get good exclusive events like the US does

[@timneedham8720]

it does and often. Usually through Yoshinoya, Eto En and Tullys coffee.

[@omariboyd2737]

Yo belated happy birthday Nick!! I did NOT expect a trip to Japan what a pleasant SAPURAISU!!! Its just like old times man you're constantly on the move from city to city, just adventuring(in this case revisiting), eating and even shopping?! Like the Niantic or even Game Freak intended. Just fully immersed in the city. Love it!

[@reversal]

This video was freaking good dude, love the way the new lens looks!

[@Gchcy]

No reply’s let me fix that

[@Digi-Navi]

I was in Tokyo when the Regis were first released. I walked off my train in Akihabara and the amount of people playing Pokémon Go was insane. I imagine it’s much the same now. I can’t wait to go back!

[@JapanCustomTours]

If you want insane - when you get so many players the internet stops, that is just normal. Taking 30 minutes to get into a raid - that can be just normal for a non-popular spot. Yes, I waited, eventually got to the raid once people moved to other spots..

Japan is my second home. I miss it and can't wait to go back for a visit. Last time I was there was during the Regigigas event in 2019 so that's the geotag on mine.

[@tazy9785]

Wish the raids were like that everywhere

[@JapanCustomTours]

Hello from Tokyo - where you play also makes a big difference. Some areas are friendly and have huge communities (where I live), others are more isolated, but still good grinding spots. If I had not been playing (while working) in Kyoto, would have been great to be able to meet.

[@free2rhyme214]

The reason why so many people can raid in person in Tokyo is because it's extremely walkable and has fast, easy public transportation, which we severely lack in the US. At least we're getting high speed rail in California though. (10+ years from now)

[@TheFishingNomad]

Nice video. I used to watch you daily a few years back, now I check in every once in a while. Really like the way your editing style has changed and improved over the years. Really enjoy watching these videos.

[@kittymervine6115]

this is perfect!!! Living where I do, in rural NH, it's difficult to find stops close to each other. When I get near the local college, Keene State, I can do well. But being disabled with limited. walking, what is fun is my husband will push me in the transport chair and I'll have fun cleaning up when the college is OUT for the year! :)

[@princealbert357]

I think NYC is similar to Tokyo.....raid lobbies are always full gyms and pikestops everywhere.....anytime I want to grind raids and not worry about invites.....I go to NYC

[@ReizokoRyu]

YUP! Can attest to that. Any raid I join in the city always fills up and there's no end to the PokeStops

[@bobbyrdayton9866]

Such a relaxing video. Thank you for sharing! 😍✨

[@lingck]

LOVE this video and yes I'm very blessed to be living in Tokyo! Thanks for showing it to the world! Just to clarify a little bit: (1) all of the advantages you mentioned are true, but for raids if you are at a smaller non major station, there are very little people in raid lobbies unless you go in when the egg hatches. (2) One disadvantage playing in Tokyo is it is very difficult to earn gold consistently by occupying gyms, unless for some people who have time and attention to put extra efforts in occupying gyms everyday, I have a long work schedule and don't have a group of friends close by who can fight gyms together, so I very rarely get to put a Pokemon in a gym on a regular day. Eventually end up buying gold, but it is my choice in play style and I am happy with it since the game give me so much fun times. For others, especially free to play players, will need to put extra effort in this area in order to get gold. ^^"

[@mpesposito6973]

Oh my gosh just seeing all those old pokemon games there brought me so much joy

[@trust_the_process4007]

It's always fun shopping for new lenses. Most of my purchases are online but when you can get into a store to see and feel the weight of one it is nice.

Great new lens! Loved the beautiful trees and the music in the garden! TY for the video!

[@Dragon-Editz_]

Honolulu in Hawaii always has people raiding, you can go in a raid and couple seconds there will be 10 people.

[@LateFiddle392]

I moved from rural Missouri to Oahu and my Pokemon Go experience changed completely. Such a better game with the city life.

I've been following this trainer since 2016 while I was in Japan thanks for sharing Trainer Nick ^^

[@thejacksonmurphy]

Buddy functionality idea: What if for a certain amount of Km walked with a buddy, the trainer were given the ability to improve the buddy’s IVs by 1? And let’s say the Km needed were based on the rarity of the Pokémon and would multiply by 1.2x each IV gained. For example, based on the eggs the Pokémon hatch from, or the level raid needed for the reward encounter, would determine if you needed 20 (tier1), 30 (tier3), 40 (tier4) or 50Km (tier5) walked for a single IV improvement. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Charmander, they would need to walk 148.832km (round to 149) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Gible, they would need to walk 297.664km (round to 298) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Mewtwo, they would need to walk 446.496km (round to 447) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. Pros: - This would make spoofing or radar services less profitable and encourages more gameplay with the same Pokémon. - Entices player to “bond” with a single Pokémon for longer and therefore play the game more often to get the coveted 100% dex. Cons: - All players would have access to the best Pokémon if they walk enough - Pvp players would need to make sure to avoid gaining hearts walking their buddy, or not apply the “bonding” IVs earned. If you can think of any other pros/cons, reply to this comment so we can share our thoughts about the idea and maybe someone at Niantic will pick it up! Ideas welcomed and I’ll update the post accordingly. Side note: Could it be this is why Ash Ketchum’s Pikachu was so powerful? Because Ash built a string relationship with him? Second side note: friend me so we can help each other to lvl50! 6436 8135 6368

[@JosephBayot]

Really like the idea of encouraging more best buddy functionality, but so many people already game the walking system with auto walkers. Not sure if we want to encourage even more people to do that...

[@WindRegalia2]

@@JosephBayot if someone is using an auto walker chances are they are just sniping 100IV pokemon anyways lol, it would defo encourage the right players who play legit

[@socketyellow3]

@@WindRegalia2 wait how? I thought it was different for everyone. Huh guess that’s why people ran to a hundo when Pokémon go was new

[@danpraxy4610]

I think Niantic should introduce breeding into the game. It's in so many other pokemon games that I think it would just make sense. It would allow people to gain more of a certain pokemon, roll new IVs, and also roll lower CPs, if they want it to be low enough for the Great or Ultra Leagues. It would add functionality to the gender of your pokemon, and encourage players to catch at least one male and female version of each pokemon. Of course, this wouldn't apply to most legendaries, as they're mostly genderless, so I don't think it'd be OP. It would also explain where eggs come from, which are already in the game.

[@Fudge0wn]

Terrible idea.

[@LuhTora]

The actual best place to play as far as I know is Zaragoza, a city in spain, yes it has a lot of spoofing but if you want to go you're going to have lures wherever you go and all the raids will be filled with people during the entire timer of the raid, it is bad if you want to take over gyms but if you are just visiting and have plenty of raid passes that would be disneyland for you xd

All I can do is watch wistfully while you play in Tokyo because there are no large cities I can travel to in order to play. I live in a rural area and must travel 20 minutes in order to just spin a pokestop. Travel is not in my future at this time, but I can dream. 😁

[@katiewilliams2729]

The scenery was beautiful as for the best city to play pokemon go I've only played in 3 cities where I live now, a small town where I used to live, and the only other place is close enough I can walk to so unfortunately I don't really have an opinion on it because I don't travel
