[@BoostedEP3]

I also think another thing that really kept you interested was traveling to all of the event all around the world! Having the best vacations with your friends, meeting fans, and playing a game. Since COVID ruined that, I can see how the best part that kept you loving the game being gone could make your love for the game dwindle.

Why would you think that ok ... covid is hard I can't go out at midnight.... I live in Houston there are poke stops I haven't made it too.... I still play been playing since 2016....

Won’t lie, I think this is a huge part for Nick too. He always seems happiest traveling and in nature, especially nature far from home, and covid has made that impossible the past 21 months.

Remember back in the day, when all we could do was catch Pokemon and takedown/defend gyms? We constantly had to set goals to keep the game interesting. I've always done it, because you can't depend on new material to keep things going.

[@FiXato]

I do feel like the catching part was more interesting. There was more of a hunting aspect to it, especially with the 1-3 steps indicator on the nearby spawns list. Pokémon also felt more habitat-restricted, and more diverse. Areas might've had their resident Pokémon (Magnemite and Voltorb were especially prevalent here), but you could still encounter most of the others at the same time. Nowadays it feels like it's just the ones that are part of the current event. The constant stream of events is also annoying imho. There just isn't a break from the constant FOMO-feeding, and it just doesn't make the events feel special anymore.

[@petorg]

What's missing in the game for me is the collection part of it, like completing the dex as we had been working for in gen 1 and 2. The way they release Pokemon now is just not fun anymore: Release 1 or 2 new ones during an event, throw it at everyone so much that you get enough candies for the evolutions within a few hours of playing, and never see it again after the event. There's nothing to collect this way and that does saddens me as that was one of the things I always enjoyed with any Pokemon games.

[@hollowichigo2118]

I'm the same way nick, the last thing that got me excited to play was the grind for shiny ditto but now It feels more of a hassle to open the game and getting to level 50 seems like more of a chore than anything at this point hopefully niantic will add new content soon that'll bring back my love for the game

The best way to enjoy the game is to put your very own goals, such as getting the shinydex complete or platinum all medals or get a poke from every country of the world. At least that's been working for me lately. Cheers from a fellow chilean trainer!

Good point about the tips and the name of his site. Since there are new players starting up all the time maybe Nick could set as a goal to give 5 tips to beginning players each episode.

[@CarterRowe]

I can totally relate on the level grind. I recently pushed for the last 3 million to level 45 and I was getting 300k xp a day f2p. But after that playing the game as much and as hard was just impossible. Total respect to you and I'm glad to be getting content again!

I set my own goals in the game. Usually reaching a new miles stone, X amount of catches etc. so much startdust. etc. There was one event where there was leaderboard specific to raids with your friends. maybe it was gofest.

[@marijakovalenko101]

It's interesting to see how the player profile and medals progress is indicative of the player's profile. The defending gyms medal was one of the first platinum medals I have. Hovewer, I am very behind on many of the other medals. I still have a lot of silver medals. I have noticed people usually have very unique goals and reasons they play the game

[@billangell6073]

By having to get a certain number of platinum medals means that to attain the highest levels in Pokémon Go you have to be a pretty well rounded player. I have a lot of respect for players at or close to level 50.

[@travellingnurse9723]

Go for the gym defender badge! Make a video exploring urban and remote gyms! Those will earn you the needed hours and make some awesome content!

[@lazhenwood]

Before Go Beyond was released I was convinced that you needed all Gold Medals to level up... it was what got me back in during lock down (the lack of in person game play really got to me) and so I began by working on my medals and then they dropped platinum. I wanted to get at least 35 platinum medals between L41 and L49 so I can get to L50 without having to grind them at the end, I'm so glad I prioritised the medals as the rest just happens naturally

Whenever I feel anxious or I just need to calm myself out, I watch your videos and bask at the calmness of your travel vlogs. Been playing Pokemon GO since day 1 and I have to agree with you that the game has really been uninteresting lately. This pandemic is taking a toll of all our mental health and we need someone/something to cope up with the horrors of this mess that is 2021.

Played since the start. Stopped in June this year. Game play is such hassle. Sending 1 gift/ opening a to friends takes too long. Rubbish egg hatches. Gameplay revolving around buying remote raid passes. Trading takes too long. Plus community shot itself in foot by forcing easier gameplay that means I no longer have to leave my house for an adventure. (remote raiding, too many pokestops, increase in spawn points and increase in distance to interact) Its not the fun game it started out to be due to quality of life improvements. It used to be a challenge, it got me out the house. Now it might as well be a game on my playstation, xbox or switch as I can do everything from home. Good luck trainer tips Nick

[@KingChiggy]

I totally get it. I was absolutely burnt out with the game, none of my friends were playing anymore and I just wasnt enjoying playing. I told myself that I spent too much time with the game to quit outright and that I was going to get to 50 before I stopped playing. I hit 50 on Oshawott community day and honestly just not stressing about xp took so much of the weight off my shoulders and didnt make me rage so much at pokemon constantly moving when I tried to hit the excellent throws. I did it all f2p and it took FOREVER and I was prepared to quit the game after but then the level 50 research was available and things kept popping up in the game and my fomo just wouldnt let me quit. Its such a part of my life now to just open up the game and check stuff but honestly after missing so many shinies im starting to really mellow out on it and slow down. The burn out is hard and I'm glad to hear you are making one last push to the end to see if your outlook on the game will change. You gotta do what makes you feel happy.

Nick you literally sound like someone that’s going through a break up ha ha. But in all seriousness, I have been playing the game since lunch in 2016 on and off. When I get sick of the game or when I’m not enjoying it anymore I put the game down for six months or so and don’t touch it. Then, like clockwork, I always find my way back to the game after a nice healthy break. Each time I come back to the game I take a more passive approach in my game play. Nowadays I will usually just connect my gotcha whatever I am going out and play a couple rounds ago battle league each day And I will play a more dedicated style on community days And other days worth the effort

Despite all the time you spent with this game, I feel like you may be missing the point of a certain part of it.

The only way to stay motivated is to set your own personal goals and keep working towards them. My current one is the Best Buddy badge (157/200 so far), but I have a bunch of personal goals for after that point. That’s what keeps me having fun with it.

At least you have a beautiful place to play and have many PokéStops and great weather! I’m sure there will be some events later that will put the fan back in Pokémon go. Dude,you right that walking thing was a real pain. It rob me two weeks, it made me even feel like quitting Pokémon go! I guess I had forgotten to turn adventures sink on and off. Look forward to seeing you again! Hopefully we will both reach level 50 soon!

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates..🎈

Sometimes to plan forward you need to look back. Watching your old videos might back the motivation and help remember the passion you had. I did, and man the summer of 2016 was so special. I miss it so much.

[@conqueror0407]

I quit best decision of my life, but..but, but i miss the feel of it. Where i would get up in the morning and just take a nice walk with my buddies😪 btw not a noob for you haters i was level 42

[@conqueror0407]

Main thing is don't delete your account🤦‍♂️ wanted to play a while back and my shiny, legendaries & 4 star pokemon are gone

I found the same feeling as this year went on and I could also be that I have that feeling in everyday life. The pogo gets Monotonous so I availed back a bit. Fomo kinda sucks but I skipped com day in September. It’s good to set time caps for games and do other things you enjoy. Covid didn’t help too it’s all waiting and stress and it wears on a person. Take care of you head, remember your breathing and keep in mind the life goes on and you come back to the things you love. Keep it in your back pocket but loosing joy in things it’s a tip off for depression haze creeping in and it’s ok to brake and recenter.

15:28 Julember 39th?? Isn't that when Trump is suppose to take back the office?! 😂

[@selexis222]

If you happen to stop playing pogo, I would love to see you stream videos with you and your trailer. Going on adventures, like you did with your Utah/ Zion trip. That part one and two have got me through so much. You take some really amazing footage of nature. Thanks Nick. Good luck on whatever you do.

I feel the pandemic played a obvious part of making this game less exciting. Best times watching you and others and playing myself eas planning and going a trip to possibly catch exclusive pokemon and capturing new gyms.

[@barbaraspeckarmy]

I did quit already (switched to Wizards Unite) but i always enjoyed your travel videos.. it was also fun to meet you in real in Germany 😊. Keep going as long as you have fun!

[@Junior-ep2hg]

I understand how you feel, what burns me out is the amount of events introduced, the long community days, and the repetition.

When it says “no views” you know your notifications are firing fast

The lure one is really easy too. If you drive up to the Santa Monica pier, ans get lucky enough to drop some on the pier mid day, you'll get it in a few hours.

[@AnkhOfAscalon]

I started February 18, 2020. I just realized I pass you in level. 😅 I'm about 10m from 50. Not bragging, just surprised I caught and passed up my favorite Pogo youtuber.

[@Ziv9]

Is that even possible unless put thousands of $$$ in the game?

[@Endolu]

haven't really been getting notif pings from you, but i'm glad this one came thru

[@reileyb]

With you on the sentiment of quitting, I quit after the eevee com day was announced, I feel like there is nothing really to work towards, raids, gyms, PvP, events, everything feels less gratifying and I feel like that's mostly Niantics failures.

[@cruzster1580]

Drop some lures on CD. The best part of 50 was working with the friends I made over the last few years on our goals together.

[@pef23]

Good on you for motivating yourself and getting out there!

[@Cimags1028]

You’ve got a eye for videography Nick!! Good luck on the level 50 grind. I hope they release new levels next year.

[@DanaBanana949]

I've been watching you since the beginning with Juan and Casey and your family. I feel like I know you so much right now. I've learned a lot from you, not only about the game but also on live itself. wish you all the best keep us updated please
