[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

Gotta love Austin John. He really went out of his way to spend 3 days straight recording just to make these guides for everyone that'll be playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. He's like the internet version of game guides and handbooks we used to get since the 1980s. Gen Z should be really lucky to not go through the struggles before we had KZbin.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

gamefaqs on dialup ftw

[@Zer0_2199]

And it's not just Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, he's been making constant vid guides for nearly every Pokemon game and not just Pokemon game, other games, this guy is a LEGEND and always will be!

[@DemanaJaire]

More than 3 days. He got this game like a week before its release.

[@lexischerr7594]

“How the French do their spicy e” is one of the best sentences ever haha. I always love when a new Pokémon game comes out because A. New game and B. A ton of new Austin videos. Literally the only guide videos I have ever watched multiple times because I just find them funny and enjoyable even already knowing the content. Seriously thank you for all the hard work you put in!! It’s so appreciated and enjoyed!!

[@Katie-hb8iq]

Austin, the thing I really like about your videos is that you don't waste the audience's time. Sure, you can find some of this info on the web - there are a dozen outlets writing articles about this stuff. But then you have to read through some kind of multi-paragraph pre-amble only for them to explain a bunch of information you already know for several more paragraphs. Finally, after the article wasted your time for a few minutes, the one piece of information you actually wanted was the last sentence or the paragraph of the article (and sometimes it's not accurate enough or at all). Thank you for not doing this.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

the differnce between me and them as that I am just like you. I am a consumer of news articles, I watch a LOT of youtube, and I know what I want to see. and I know the channels that I have to tap right 12 times to skip the front sponsored spot. I know the stuff that would be boring and I just cut it all out. I treat you with the same respect that I want when consuming content.

I love that they have a trainer to trade you an early game Snom, meanwhile I haven't done any story after getting my ride Pokemon, but I've already got two Snoms with interesting Terra types, one being Steel and the other Dragon.

I love your videos! And I love that you kept them as spoiler free as possible. For me, it's the first time after Pokémon Crystal (My very first) that I am playing totally blind about mons and moves and story, etc. And it is being a very intense adventure, discovering, and loosing, and suffering, and enjoying it a lot. Thank you for such an amazing content!

[@Zer0_2199]

Thank you so much for these vids, I haven't got the game yet but I already have a playlist full of your S&V guides, you're a LEGEND!

[@NathanialBudd]

Just want to take a quick opportunity to thank you for your hard work. We appreciate all you do for this community, and one of my personal favourite aspects of a new Pokemon release is seeing a huge batch of your videos on my feed. Keep up the great work brother, and remember to drink water.

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

Regarding the pinchurchin, she wasn't saying she wanted to ride it: she was saying that, since she has no rideable pokemon to take her out onto the water, she can't meet/catch many aquatic pokemon. So she wants someone to trade her a pinchurchin of her own.

[@Stelmarie427]

My favourite part of the day is when Austin John posts another video. Absolutely loving these videos

[@PrizmKing_EditZ]

Fun fact Perrserker is op for raids and some Japanese threads on twitter will literally cancel the raid if you aren't using perrserker it's ability basically boosts steal type moves by 50% which by itself is already nice but it also adds this effect to allies now pair this with its versatile moveset like being able to learn helpful status moves like screech and taunt and it makes raids a cakewalk if all 4 players use it

[@Mary-pb6ys]

Seriously, I look forward to Austin John’s videos just as much as the games.

[@egronjosefsson5647]

The best thing about new Pokémon games is all the juicy content Austin is giving us!🤩

[@Bowserboy129]

Ironically enough I actually needed that Snom trade for the dex entry, so that saved me like 15 minutes. Thanks bro!

[@mtslucky]

I just realized that when you go have classes at night there are noibats close to the bookshelfs, which I believe is a reference to the library in Convento de Mafra in Portugal that has bats in it in order to protect the books from insects, a tradition since its construction. It is not related to the video but it is the first time I realized this (only getting the game next thursday), but being portuguese, I really like the references to your and the spanish culture.

[@layniebear1237]

thanks austin!~ all the love and appreciate this one!

[@jacobblum3862]

Hey Austin John! Love your content! Idk if you know this one or if it would be a cool thing to let people know but with the new “move remembering” system and the gift pikachu with fly. You get a thunder stone for catching 30 Pokémon. If you evolve pikachu even at level 5 Raichu will have all of pikachu’s moves to “remember” like thunder, thunderbolt, etc. so you can start the game with a Raichu with a full endgame move set. Kinda fun and great for early game lol

[@stoiclegacy98]

I have not played any of the recent Pokemon games but I've always watched your videos because they're extremely informative and allow me to be in touch with the progress and direction of the games.

I know that with every new addition of pokemon games. I can always rely on you for info. Have done it for years and hopefully years to come. Great work.

[@cheeseboy900]

Thanks! It was oddly hard to find this info online!

[@brenda0006]

I was so salty about the haunter in bdsp so this one is somewhat healing haha

[@Unit-00_]

Hey John, I think a good video idea would be "the best pokemon to use for each terra raid type" maybe even 2 pokemon each for a physical and special attacker. Could prioritize just making a single version of this idea for the upcoming charizard raid event as well.

[@jaytheshadowfox8547]

Thank you austin John you've been very helpful for all the Pokemon videos you've done and keep up the amazing and helpful work

[@duck.9738]

Dang it feels so good when you just get like 50 notifications of Austin John videos! So much fun to just binge after I'm done my homework lol

Thanks Austin this helped 🙌🏼

[@uzielrodriguez24]

Thanks Austin John this will be helpful

[@KenjiShiratsuki]

Thanks for the guide! I didn't know the thing about the Everstone with breeding and alternate forms. If you're using a ditto then do you need to give the Everstone to the ditto if the other Pokemon is male or do you need to give it to the other Pokemon regardless of whether they are the male or female?

[@kryko3147]

love the videos Austin but will you make a breading guide or guide for the sub legendarys ?

[@Diosgos]

Yo, totally love the “I’m being honest with what I do, don’t care what you think” vibes from the vid (ex: memory device for East, video content order). Adds character, it’s something humans do, keep it up!

[@alexrusso47]

Thank you austin John!!! Very helpful!! Can you help us with all the tm locations too when you get a chance? Thank you. I’m currently looking for hyper voice and fire blast and am hoping you can help since you’re awesome

[@GvirusUser]

I like how you can actually get a Haunter that evolves into Gengar without the unnecessary trolling like in BDSP. I think that's the first legit trade like that since being able to get Machamp in a trade in Yellow version.

[@rateddark8650]

In sun and moon you can get an alolan Graveler that evolves into an Alolan Golem

[@IsawRedPokemon]

Hello, love your content, the Gengar is definitely a fun one, however the everstone joke was in Gen 4 Heartgold/Soulsilver remake in Goldenrod City (Whitney's City)

[@MAL8916]

Hey AJP, firstly just wanted to say appreciate you and all this content you’ve been putting out 🙏🏼 Secondly I wanted to make sure I understood comments on “breeding down” a regional variant. Specifically, who needs to hold the everstone? The way I understood it, the Pokémon holding the everstone WILL pass down their regional trait. So if I wanted a “original form” Wooper, not the Paldean form, I would give the original form one the everstone?

[@babergaber1326]

I guess this is an unexpected answer to my question of whether there was a Gengar somewhere that I could catch!

I was searching online raids and got in a 6-star gengar raid with ghost Tera. Unfortunately I had not one but TWO sucky teamates getting one shot over and over and killing our time so we lost, and since it was online and not my own world you only get one chance at it😢

Looking forward to taking the language classes in my french violet game. Usually they do English when they want a character speaking a foreign language.

[@TheBlu3Jay]

Could you make a guide on how the sandwich making mechanic really works. Finding it kind of difficult to create sandwiches that increase encounter rate for certain types, also there’s no other sandwich guides besides the shiny sandwiches. Would help understanding the sandwich making mechanic

[@suicune2001]

Thanks!

Love your videos and if curious at all about one of the words below. Ai shiteiru means "I love you" in Japanese. 1. Ai sounds like I 2. Shi sounds like she (in this instance the e sounding will be silent when combined with the te) 3. Te sound couldn't think of one atm 4. Next i sounds like an e 5. Ru sounds like the first part of rumba

[@CentralHighland]

for the flabebe, the smaller the yellow area, the higher rate of the pokemon to appear, so there's a small island on the right side of, go there and catch it in a minute.

[@preposterous100]

I’m not far enough where I am going for a Pokédex but these will help later down the line

[@PBellAU]

These videos are great! Must be exhausting cranking these out so fast. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of hours pumped into the gameplay. Also, are shiny odds boosted at the beginning of the game? I encountered a shiny Hoppip in the first 3 encounters on the way to the lighthouse, and have heard of other people getting shiny's early on in the game.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

nope. but if millions of people get the game the same day, then thousands are going to get a shiny :)

[@PBellAU]

@@AustinJohnPlays must just be lucky I guess. My gf was watching me play along and lost it at me because I always get the shiny's.

[@cartermcgee200]

Can you make a video on all of the rewards in the school? I really don't to have struggle if there isn't anything really good. Thanks the goat Austin!

[@tracyh5751]

4:36 there's also slowpoke -> slowking which needs a king's rock and a trade.

[@theawesomeman9821]

I appreciate having the option of trading for a Gengar from an NPC and not worrying about some stranger IRL handing me a Haunter with an everstone.

[@stormwolf2311]

Hey Austin, love the content got a question for ya could you make a video showing how to get to the elite four and the best way of beating them?

[@howdyfriends7950]

🚨 this bears mentioning! 🚨 since you need an everstone to breed more woopers and meowths, keep in mind that an everstone prevents you from having an offspring with a different ability! you're stuck with the one ability you get in that initial trade, unless you use an ability capsule/patch. it may be worth hunting the 1/128 (?) odds for an unnerve meowth if you really want a steely spirit perrserker for a mono-steel doubles team! but aside from that one use case, honestly i think both of them have better common abilities: 1. pickup → battle armor 2. tough claws h. unnerve → steely spirit galarian meowth → perrserker 1. water absorb 2. damp h. unaware for wooper and quagsire it's debatable for meowth, but for both of those lines, i think the first ability is the best one, so i would save before trading and reset if i got a damp/unaware wooper. it's not worth the ability capsule but it is objectively worse. luckily you have about 50% odds to get each of the common abilities.

[@TwistingVine]

Hi, @austinjonhn: for Flabébé, (i always assumed the é was pronounced the same as baby in french since that's bébé) You can find it on the very first route indeed, but it's really hard to see. It's also floating so you don't really run into it, you need to actually engage it in battle. Look for a flowerpetal that looks to be blowong away. That's the closest thing i can compare it to. It's the thing that drew my attention first and then among those was a flabébé. Nearby I found another one. I only found 2 when I was there on the way to the academy, so I don't think they're prevalent, but they are there.

[@gabeadams9494]
