A 43 minute trainer tips video is all I need in life

im going to touch you

[@LilSlimeee]

thank you for saying ‘misunderstood’ when speaking of Mexico. as a mexican it saddened me hearing how many people are afraid (for good reasons) but there truly are amazing and friendly people there!

[@dannies1117]

YES!

[@ixyzyxi]

As a Dutch person I’ve never heard anybody say they were afraid of Mexico. Maybe it’s the white self confidence.

[@dannies1117]

Good amount of Americans are afraid to visit Mexico that’s why

[@dingusuhum]

​@@ixyzyxiit's probably the not being north american

[@Lucarioguild7]

As someone who grew up on the border I've never understood it, as his friend said in the video *every* country has more dangerous and more safe areas. Mexico is a gorgeous country with amazing food, it's ridiculous to paint it with such a broad brush.

[@puckplayer219]

I initially started following you years ago because of Pokemon Go, but these videos where you travel and show us some of the culture of the places you visit are the videos I most appreciate now. Keep up the awesome work, Nick!

[@W_birdman]

Stalker?

[@gp147]

​@@W_birdmanHow is he a stalker?

[@user-xg3zc8uv6l]

This Pokémon is fairly easy to catch if you take yearly trips to Mexico. I’ve caught about 5! Marcactus is also another regional that can be caught here.

[@peteraleman949]

I’ve been following your journeys for a while now and the way you deliver not only the best of Pokémon Go, but the coolest parts of traveling and having fun is so amazing. I gotta say that the storytelling in your videos are pure quality. And now coming here to my country and showing a huge part of the culture and history of Mexico for others to see in such a honoring and respectful way is so cool dude. I appreciate it so much. Glad you had fun! “Nick, hermano. Ya eres mexicano!!!”

[@asseyez-vous6492]

I loved it! Love the culture, history and everything. The media sensationalism has a lot to with misinformation. I’ve been to countries (not Mexico yet) that are considered dangerous and never had any issues whatsoever. Enjoy but always stay aware. ❤️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 💃

[@cristobalc5425]

This was arguably 1 of the best PoGo adventures that Nick has recorded. It was like we were there with him.

[@bakersnuts100]

This is a great, no I mean an OUTSTANDING video ! I'll never be able to get to Mexico ever in my life. But after seeing the parades, the costumes, the different foods, the friendship between you guys. PLUS a wrestling match ! Nick drinking a little too much. Finally catching Hawlucha !! I'll have to trying my best to get there someday in the near future. I'm retiring here in a 2 years and I have to try Maria's food. Hoping you put up some more videos of the festivities. I would love just to see you and your friends having a great time taking in the sites.

[@pelopogo]

HMU if you need any recs or help! @pelopogo everywhere

[@jaypkkim1]

This is my favorite video this year! The adventure, the friends, the appreciation for a beautiful culture. I was so happy watching this

[@teetertotter5787]

Not many people can make a 44-minute video feel this engaging. I didn't even realize that much time had passed! Always love your travel videos, Nick. Was that a Frigibax in the nearby when you were at the wrestling match???

[@alexwlf8434]

This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched. Just found it after looking at some Pokémon Go videos and I can’t believe how profoundly affected I was by the heart and quality on display by everyone involved. Mexico looks mesmerizing and the people seem to be on a whole different level when it comes to hospitality and kindness. Thank you, thank you for putting this into the world.

[@evilbollweevil1]

I humbly suggest for you to check out his The Search for Celebi vid next and his trips to Japan.👍🏼🔥

[@ezrabaker974]

Fun fact: I’m sure I have one of the rarest Hawlucha’s out there. I was going to Mexico, and moments before I lost connection (and more importantly, the game didn’t register me in Mexico) there was a Hawlucha. So I have a Hawlucha under “Ajo, Az, United States”. Correct me if that’s not rare. Edit: This was earlier this year during the summer, with my family.

[@nicoles2634]

Let it be known you can catch Hawlucha in teaxs, all the way south in the rio grande valley area, but for you to go the extra mile into Mexico is amazing! Keep up the great work 🩶

[@alexsalazar4409]

Yes

[@alexsalazar4409]

I live in el paso tx and is alot hawlucha

[@travelingrabbit2222]

Was going to say you can find it El Paso, TX

[@amandacas]

I was looking for someone else to say this. I catch them all the time at my house in El Paso. 😅 But this video was way more fun than simply sitting on my couch with my cat.

[@sftrick]

Also at the big outlet mall on the California - Mexico border :)

[@anamistica]

It's awesome to be able to see your entire perspective of the Día de los Muertos in Mexico. Great video!

[@MortisMedia]

This was probably one of my favorite videos you've done, a real masterpiece of a video. Bravo, you had my attention the whole way through. Mexico looks incredible

[@Calaveso]

As someone who's never been to their home country of Mexico for reasons, I just started bawling seeing how beautiful my country is, and how much fun it looks. Obviously when I visit I'm going to catch myself a Hawlucha but I think the first thing I'm going to do is take everything in and just be thankful. Thank you for this video, you have no idea how much this means to myself and others.

[@PochitoV90]

Just came back from Mexico from visiting my family. I caught every Hawlucha possible.

[@caseypowell6342]

This was SUCH a good video, Nick! I always get sad when you don't upload for awhile, and then you always come out with an amazing gem like this that more than makes up for the wait. I have always loved your enthusiastic appreciation for different cultures, and how these videos truly bring out that excitement in you.

[@TG-nd9rj]

I've only really gotten to experience Mexico through the tourist-y ports on cruises, but the culture and the people have always seemed so kind and warm hearted to me. Wonderful look into one of their most sacred traditions. Thank you! I didn't get any shinies during either event this year, BUT, I did randomly find a wild spawn shiny phantump at like 2am on the 7th. It was crazy.

[@Drowzee64]

I don't even play Pokemon Go that much, but this was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing your trip to Mexico during such an important time of the year with us!

[@Hiccup_-gz8nm]

I’ve been to Mexico on a rainforest expedition for conservation research. Honestly the most wonderful two weeks of my entire life, gorgeous country, great people, fantastic food and weather. Love from the UK

[@hectorb17]

Thank you for visiting my motherland Nick! I know Mexico does get a bad rep but it is a beautiful country with a really great culture. It saddens me that I haven’t visited in over 15 years. I’m glad you enjoyed your trip and that you caught your Hawlucha

[@Veyiro]

Nick I have been following you since the very beginning, this is honestly one of your top 3 videos all time for many different reasons. Travel, traditions, food, Pokemon and Lucha. What a journey. This is why I once considered you one of the best KZbin channels ever to exist. You should be proud of this one!

[@rkano1744]

Very cool to see you finally coming to central Mexico. Glad you enjoyed your time with Pelo 👌

[@blackmarkk1082]

nick videos as always, its not always about the pokemon go games, its like introducing us to new culture. love the vids as always nick 🎉

[@MannyG93]

Loved that you went to a Lucha Libre event. I used to go to those all the time when I would visit my cousins in Mexico. That brought back a lot of fun memories!

[@manuelb_____]

EStÁ INCREIBLE EL VIDEO, espero la hayas pasado bien en México :D

[@RobFranco]

GOAT

[@aidang7790]

Dude actually I'd clicked on you're video on accident and genuinely this is some of the best youtube content I've ever seen I love the fact that you balance the pokemon go with the Mexico culture and what is around you and its actually beautiful thank you for just this awesome video and I definitely wanna see more.

[@bebetojr.1622]

Mexico will always be my favorite place to visit! Just went last week to visit my family had so much fun. Also happy to catch Hawlucha & Maractus. One of my favorite videos ❤️

[@TruInfernosPokemonGoAdventure]

that Lucha Libre was soooooooo fun lmao

[@DrInsaneO]

I always tell people that Mexico is not as bad as people make it seem. You look for trouble, you’ll find trouble. Other then that, the people of Mexico are lovable and friendly

[@FPetrov]

People don't make it "seem" bad. It is bad.

[@arasanhu7993]

@@FPetrov I live in mexico, I've never been robbed in my entire life, lots of friends too

[@MusicLoveLaughter]

Not me screaming ‘do a route! Use an incense!’ To get a hawlucha lol

[@warfu_]

40:05 if you're heading towards this part of the video, DON'T SKIP, DON'T FAST FORWARD, IT'S CRAZY 😭 Left open mouthed!! Yo, wished you could've told us you were around, I would have LOVED to find you in the Safari City event 🥺 but I understand if you didn't want to. Loved your content since 2018, paz!!! ( 7:08 Consomé ✨ 11:36 YUSSS )

[@magixd]

Got a shiny Magnemite while watching this video, Oaxaca's shiny vibes are too strong. Thank you for your positive perception of Mexico, glad you had an enjoyable experience. ¡Saludos desde Monterrey!

[@c0ldphuz10n]

Anthony Bourdain tier Pokémon GO video. You captured the culture, the people, the food, the history and even reeled in the Hawlucha. The shiny luck rubbed off, I caught a shiny Mareep while watching. Safe travels and Godspeed Nick!

[@anish4651]

Ngl your videos arnt just vloging or content there actually art you really put time effort and money into giving us something special from the music to the travels and moments with friends it really is amazing thank you

[@dannies1117]

I’m glad you can show people how beautiful Mexico is. The culture is amazing along with the food!

[@ryancolegrove5994]

epic trip! I def wanna visit one year during Día de los Muertos. I love these kind of videos, especially at 40+ mins. Felt like No Reservations over here. I think more people should travel with open eyes, not live in fear. It's important to be smart, but having a local always helps

[@pinkpearl8130]

Nick's traveling videos are the best. He does such a good job of telling a story and I learn a lot about the places he travels to. I don't get to travel, so I appreciate seeing the world through his videos and shared love of Pokémon GO.

[@jemovimm9020]

Nick, I've been going through your backlog gradually whenever I'm feeling under the weather, finding the travel videos amongst the updates, or even just videos with gameplay in Long Beach. I think this is my favourite video of yours yet. Absolutely loved it. Thanks for taking us along to places we might never get to visit!

[@1BossRosie]

Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing your adventures with the rest of us.

[@luckycharms3783]

Normally I don’t comment on videos, but this felt like a must just to thank you for the portrayal and care you demonstrated to my country and culture. Best Pokémon KZbin channel bar none.

[@Diegoviveros801]

This was an incredible video. Thank you for doing justice to my country. It is definitely misunderstood and I'm glad someone with as big of a following as you is calling it out. It really means a lot and I hope it encourages more people to visit. Everyone should visit at LEAST once.

[@victors1900]

This video was amazing , as someone who family is from Mexico specifically “Veracruz and Michoacán “ it’s beautiful to see how it is out there and you just enjoy and embrace the culture!! Great vid nick btw I’ve been watching the vids since the beginning of Pokémon go super proud of how far you have gone !! Keep it up bro 🎉

[@alexisperez5376]

Later this month, my siblings & I are traveling to Mexico for a week to visit my family. This video is keeping the hype alive for me. In excited!

[@MsConstantComment]

I actually quit playing Pokemon Go over a year ago, but so glad I decided to watch this video anyway, because I loved what you showed of the scenery and culture, and even enjoyed the game parts even though I'm not a player anymore.

[@paulskoog1186]

Nick, thank you for sharing your adventure, Its been too long since you made a video like this. I honestly hope there is more to come.

[@sirscratiiidv7388]

Mexico and the people there are truly amazing. Happy you made the journey 🎉

[@rhysarthurs3679]

I've followed trainer tips for around 4 years now, and this is my favourite video. I loved all of it, fantastic video. Thank you Nick ❤️

[@azutori]

What an awesome video I loved every single part of it. As a Oaxacan, seeing you capture those moments during Día de Los Muertos touched my heart in so many levels. I went to visit Oaxaca city when i was about 10 years old back in 2007-08 and seeing el Arbol Del Tule gave me goosebumps. Now I'm feeling more excited going to visit in a couple weeks for my parents hometown festival and going to visit Oaxaca city!

[@pelopogo]

Que chido hermano. Saludos desde Querétaro, me encanta tu estado.

[@derekrayy]

The phone dying with the Hawlucha on screen was bruuuutal 😂😭

[@reignbowblack7769]

What an awesome video. Thank You for showing us how beautiful Mexico is and how nice the people are. Congratulations on your catch! I also am a little glad I wasn't the only one who didn't get any shiny during the Halloween event.

[@bethannmorgan4999]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Absolutely love seeing your travels and perspective on different cultures in the most respectful and informative ways! The Pokémon go playing is such an added bonus. 😊

[@Catastrophied]

Videos like this are some of my favorites. I felt this way when you were looking for duskull last year. In addition to sharing the cultural experiences (which alone is so great), your search for hawlucha and cubone evoked the feeling of excitement that doesn't happen often any more to those who have been playing since the start -- chasing shadows on the map to get an exciting new pokemon. Thanks for the awesome video. It is so appreciated 💚

[@etherealLife]

One of my favorite videos from you ever, such a good job not only capturing pokemon go but also the traditions of the place you were in. I would love to see more of this content. Sending you positive vibes and much abundance for a happy, lucrative, and successful channel.

[@nuriasoriano7694]

Beautiful video, as a Mexican living in the US it makes me happy to see you enjoying some of my culture. You really tried the good real Mexican food and the beautiful traditions we have. Your content is really good and that's why you are my fav for pokemon videos.

[@arcanezero532]

Now that is a cool way to hunt for Hawlaucha especially to end the event. I notice that here in the Northern parts of Belize, where I live, we can still catch Hawlaucha even though it's a Mexican regional.

[@Zack_9952]

You hands down make the best travel “Pokémon go” videos. makes me want to go to each place you visit.

[@evilbollweevil1]

I can see the Anthony Bourdain influence on this one Nick. Connecting people and appreciating a country’s culture are always cool and that’s the reason why this channel is different from the rest. This one is up with the ranks of your Search for Celebi vid. Top tier!🤘🏼

[@tbnorris]

That happened to me with costumed Gengar Halloween raid. It was wearing a costume, we finished after the end cut over time and we got a naked one

[@Naqraumor]

Nick forgetting the shiny shadow Sableye and saying he got no shinies during the Halloween event is so funny 😂

[@takumizone]

This was a banger !!! So many good trainer tips videos but this one felt like it was 3 min long that's how good it was. Great freaking job Nick.

[@magicpesto]

It's an understatement to say I look forward to these travel adventure videos. I need them. Praise you TrainerTips for bringing such treasured content. ❤

[@catmarie7641]

I’ve been to Mexico City and it was one of the most vibrant cities filled with so much beautiful art, culture, and food. I miss it, thanks for highlighting the culture!

[@StevensDs]

Nicely done man. I've always loved these videos where you combine culture and PoGo so seamlessly. I wish Dominican Republic would get an event of sort just to have you go and explore it whilst giving colorful commentary about my people adn culture.

[@Nubious]

Very pleasant intro I love that you mentioned Mexico as beautiful and misunderstood.. Its scary only if you intentionally look for trouble. The people of Mexico are wonderful, I am super happy you are in Mexico!

[@sueloguejohnson8929]

Absolutley love your travel videos. Congrats on all the shinies.

[@z50king29]

Amazing content. I've only been to the tourist area when we took a cruise down there but I've never really been afraid of Mexico. People are people

[@cmmck367]

Dude this video is incredible. I’ve been watching your videos since 2020 but I think this one has topped them all!!

[@lachicagato]

Oaxaca is my hometown. I was smiling throughout the whole video, I love seeing people like and enjoy being there. Glad you went there for Dia de Muertos, Is the best place to be ;). Oaxaca and Morelia are the 2 places where the festivities are celebrated in full. I hope to see you guys next time if you ever go back

[@jdeneau13]

Awesome video Nick. Really enjoy the POGO/travel combo vlogs. Giggled at the Daxi shout out. I had a similar shiny Sableye run during the Hoenn Tour this year, caught 3 in 2 days including 2 in back to back field research tasks on Day 2.

[@gobo12]

As always, thanks for a great travel vid :) Love all the spots you travel to and the interesting things you find.

[@Buttercup2935]

This is a great video. Really enjoy not just the pokemon but culture, experiences and background of the places you’re visiting.

[@averagelowkey]

This is literally a documentary

[@JedJourney]

im so glad even after the year you still doing this man. will always support you !

[@billangell6073]

I think this is the best Pokemon video clip that I have ever seen. I has it all culture, beauty, friendship, luck, grinding, and ultimately catching that rare Pokemon that you searched so hard for. I seldom know what I've caught until my storage fills up and I need to get rid of many. This last time 2 days after and event I discovered a raid had netted me a SHUNDO origin form Dialga.

[@mimmigrant3531]

Wow! Thank You for bringing us all on this amazing travel and showing the real nuances of Mexico! Your videos are so much more than playing great PG. You’re showing us a community of travelling, friendships and PG all together!

[@KungFuPenguin]

Loved everything about this! Such a great video. Love the travel videos. Love learning about the culture and seeing you immerse yourself there.

[@juliokaiser2923]

Nick, this was such a fun video! Love the travel videos, they’re so full of life and energy

[@davidennis7627]

I catch them in southern San Diego all the time! They’re right outside my house and at the Sprouts around the corner. Chula Vista, CA

[@marielleananias]

Watching this 6 months after the video was posted, but I had to pause just to say how great it is to watch it! I think this is what Pokemon Go is all about... Getting to know different places, people and cultures. Love it! *and for the record; we do listen to you when you're not playing too ☺

[@RodrigoPerez-wz9ki]

Always a pleasure to have you back in Mexico Nick, can't wait for the City Safari video. I wanted so hard to meet you but it will be next time.

[@bizzarehuman]

This video was amazing. I love the long form style you use on your travels and this was like watching a movie!

That trip to Arena Mexico to witness Lucha Libre earned you my sub. I can’t wait to checkout more of your content

[@Rose_J]

I love your travel videos, and your open mind. 😀 The tour guides are great too.

[@RobertDWilson81]

Another fantastic journey video and impeccable editing with sound composition!!

[@jendaar]

Great video. A couple of things to mention. First, I also made a trip of a lifetime to the Dominican Republic in Sept. While there I had a similar experience. The Paldean event started and I only caught a maractus and saw a corsola once on the nearby. Disappointing. Also, I can understand how people think an area is dangerous. I used it live in Ecuador and I remember a guy saying "I would never visit the USA. Did you hear about all those mass shootings?" He's not wrong but it all depends on where you go and if you know someone local looking out for you. Imagine a tourist landing at LAX and look at a map of the LA area and go "let's go over to East LA. Looks cool". Might not be a good idea. Also, Nick. You kinda look like a local for Mexico. I doubt you were getting called a gringo.

[@jenngoette5086]

When you called the Cubone bald it made me laugh 😂 Love these videos, Nick! Always so educational and considerate of the people and culture you're experiencing. Thanks for bringing us along with you!

[@patswz]

Hey Nick, thank you for this beautifully filmed and edited video capturing your Dia de Muertos adventure; your friends there seem really cool. Getting to meet you and take a pic with you in Mexico City’s Alameda Parque during the safari zone was awesome! Keep making more wonderful vids, please
