I Opened 4-Year Old JAPAN EXCLUSIVE Research Rewards

[@RIPStefany]

Came for the pokemon, stayed for the adventures 🥰

[@sebastiencote1565]

Same thing here!

[@tristanmartinez9326]

This is the guy

[@MegaMania91]

That sums up most people playing this game as a whole. Great way of putting it.

[@joehoughtaling]

That's just it!

[@iamconio]

its always been about the adventures

[@clkinstner]

I'm so glad this series is happening. It is something I look forward to every day.

[@JustValiant-]

I started watching TrainerTips initially as a guide/assist on my journey in PokemonGO. I fell in love with TrainerTips Channel after I watched Nick travel the world and follow his adventure's and journeys to amazing places around the world, and make all of the PokemonGO Fests seem so fun and exciting. I've said this once before, but after watching TrainerTips Nick for so many years, it has given me the courage to finally take my own journey and travel the world on my own for once, after being timid and hesitating for so long, I finally did it, and it was so worth it. I can't thank Nick enough for all he's done for the community, and helped shape me as a person to build more courage to travel on my own, and enjoy a life-time experience that I will never forget. Please never stop being who you are Nick, and never stop going on adventure's that we all love and anticipate to see and hear about. 🙌🙏 ❤

[@jasminappleby779]

Took the exact words out of my mouth!!

[@joelucas8529]

SAME! Came for the PoGo content stayed for the travel vlogs and alike.

[@JakeOngJiehuiAdmiraltyss]

@KieranBorjesson ok

[@ELIT3FUBAR734]

My favorite videos of yours have always been the travel videos, especially the most recent one to Mexico. You've always done a good job showing off the culture and foods and historical areas.

[@guisteh11]

I agree! Mexico is faaar away from me so I was very happy and intrigued about his Mexico videos.

[@csmx00]

This is one of the best Pokémon Go series I’ve ever watched.

[@Furrealmustachekitty]

Your reasoning of why you play is why I watch. I love the places you visit, the scenery, the food, all the adventure. Thanks for sharing with us mere mortals. Now when do we get to see that kitty!?

[@matthewfialho2849]

Why did you ask about the food

[@sarah1320]

I came for the pokémon, stayed for the excellent content! I so wish I could be a part of a travel group (too many commitments) but it would be soooo fun to go on a trip, play a game I love, and explore a new place. You're kicking butt with the challenge this month!

[@the5outhpole]

The “travel channel that’s loosely tied to PoGo” is definitely the right choice. You had it right from the beginning. Even if some of the videos have very little PoGo you have the ability to make them interesting. Can’t wait to see you in some African countries

[@Axecon1]

It's not about the start or destination, it's about the journey. I love how this channel has evolved and continues to evolve. I started watching initially to get PoGo info but I've found the cool travel stories to be far more interesting. The Trova trip sounds like such a cool opportunity!

[@Louis1059]

Your mission is loud and clear. Keep it going even if the game is fading away.

[@GladiusArch08]

You're the only pokemon content creator I watch and the reason is that your videos are much more than just Pokemon Go. I haven't played the game in over a year but your videos are enjoyable for me, be it the wonderful videography, the sneaky edits, or the experiences that you share. Your channel is certainly more than just a pokemon go channel and we love this aspect of it 💙

[@djdexterb]

Your plan of a secret travel channel is exactly why I have kept coming back over the years. I don't even play the game anywhere near as much anymore but I've always enjoyed the videos you make so I keep watching. The Pokemon is honestly secondary if not third to the production and delivery.

[@pokemonartographer4934]

Nick, I have been a fan of your videos for years, and absolutely love all your content. From the Pokémon GO play, to the info/news updates, and especially the travel. I think your original premise of using PoGO as a way to create a travel channel is amazing, and I'd say you've done that rather successfully. You showcase all the locations you visit with such beauty and reverence that it creates a desire in me to visit places I once never thought I would want to go. I think this new opportunity is amazing, and would LOVE to have the chance to see the world with cost assistance. Especially with like-minded people who are coming along for the travel and the game. I immediately went and filled out that survey, and hope that I am fortunate enough to go on a journey or two with you and others in this community. Thank you for the opportunity, and thank you for all the incredible videos throughout the years.

[@KingChiggy]

I have always appreciated that you are actually so chill about the game. So many of the other content creators are just high energy go go go people like "We gotta do this and this and this" and you are just like "Here's an encounter" and then go off for like 10 minutes talking about the place you are at or the people you are with. I wish I could be as lax with the game as you are because it sounds like such a stress free way to enjoy the game.

[@khicks72]

The main reason I'm still folloing your channel is because of the travel. My travel is pretty well booked up for next year, but I hope you find some trainers to travel with, I will definitely look forward to seeing those videos.

[@AshHart12392]

The group travel idea sounds insane! Hope it works out.

[@silverhetch3383]

I can tell that you put in a lot of work into cutting todays video, adding the flashbacks even though you didn't have to. Thanks a lot Nick

[@kevinhoward1769]

I love how you've always treated Pokemon GO- as a fun thing that's a bridge to other things like friends, travel and food. Glad it's a concept that's worked out the way you wanted it to. The travel thing sounds interesting. Absolutely not something that works for me personally, but I look forward to living vicariously through the videos!

[@AlanHayabusaTMH]

OMG!! I'm in the video! 😂🎉 @ 3:30 Hope you come back to Mexico soon Nick 😊 ❤

[@HotaruAoii095]

It's nice to hear that you have rekindled the fire that started this channel. It is very nice to see the daily uploads as well. More power to you Nick.

[@Ben79k]

Whether im actively playing, or burnt from the game and not playing at all, i always love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us

[@JonReevesLA]

You're missing the best part of Mateo: Pin the postcard! It's a great way to get scatterbug from all over. Then again, Nick probably already has friends from all around the world, so maybe he doesn't need that.

[@cirodeandrade]

Not gonna lie, the Ember intro makes this series way more nostalgic, and honestly I think it's awesome!

[@RocketDescends]

The traveling is the best part. The pogo is just the icing on the cake

[@MisterSeeee]

Ever since the trailer dropped in 2015, I've imagined PokemonGo as more of an adventure, travel, and wander type of activity/game. I'm thankful you've been able to share this adventure aspect in your videos! Thanks Nick!

[@paulinexong]

The 1.5x stardust also shows up in your journal btw :) No need for any math!

[@shawnmaher8239]

I enjoy watching the places you visit because I can't go to those places I enjoy watching

[@beckfindsawayy]

amazing videos no matter the challenge, location or state of the game! nick you have such a creative aesthetic eye, your videos have always been such a pleasant watch, the travelling is great to experience vicariously through you from someone who hasn't left their country in over 5/6 years, we appreciate you!

[@MegaMikeDrummerYT]

Kepp doing your thing! You always kill it with the videos! Play the game how you want and dont listen to the weirdos. Travel plan sounds awesome and would watch all 10000%

[@owenkrepps4966]

Currency expert here- that’s a coin at 0:59

[@daddymilk8853]

😭

[@warfu_]

YESS please! Do a series for Shiny Jirachi!!! Your Mew and Celebi series were the ones that inspired me to catch them in special places, making my own experiences special to me 💖 back in 2018 and 2019.. now I see where the Jirachi chance went, but I still tried to make it special for myself back then ✨

[@dmghunt]

You’re always happiest and have the best content when you’re traveling and playing. I’d love to travel. My concern for you is that you’d have to deal with all of us when you might want to be doing your own thing. But I love this idea

[@lwflook45]

I understand your idea for the game. By traveling around and show off the interest of an area that you are. It does exactly what you are best at. By your pov and shots set up your talents of photography is what I like the best

[@ktoyo7]

2:03 My favorite part of the video. Legendaries from weekly research!!!

[@SerenaBoBinas]

Oh wow!! I hope we can make these trips a reality!! It would be awesome to travel as a community!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@edgaradriangarciapacheco6857]

I love whatever you are doing with the channel! It is so great that you always stick to the channels essence and you even still play the original soundtrack!! awesome channel! greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@Therealsteezywalker]

This would be something that would be so cool for community days or even raid hours. It would be so nice to meet more people from the community.

[@scoob_18]

People act like others can't get "bored"/tired of the game for a while. Nick, keep rocking and doing everything you've done. It's been fantastic!

[@doopness785]

These December Thumbnails are next level

[@derekhamilton7275]

Nick you seem happy making this series and your content reflects this. Great job sir.

[@Lostintranslationpodcast]

Nick, I’ve been with you since 2016. You’ve grown a lot my friend.

[@kingconverse4858]

Your original Mew and Celebi videos in Japan gave me the push to visit. Since then I’ve been to 5 different countries mostly around Asia (I live in Aus).

[@mirlenlezama3521]

Ugh. You’re so smart and knowledgeable. Love your content. It’s always a guaranteed lovely experience

[@roosjansen7589]

Love that you brought your old intro back; please keep it 😄. Travel tips Nick still going strong! I have the best memories of your mew and celebi travel series.

[@glittergurl8853]

I love all the travel videos. This is why I love your channel. I can't afford all of the trips you take, but I love watching you travel. It's great seeing different cultures, food, architecture, scenery and customs. Pokemon is just a bonus! ❤

[@adamburgess7192]

Love the travel! You opened the window to different places and have enjoyed all the videos from the start. Sentosa is still my favorite ever!

[@CraigHaden]

This series is brilliant! Thanks for keeping fun and positivity in the current state of the game ❤

[@thedenverdino]

Those gifts to Mateo is like sending a message in a bottle and seeing if it ever comes back to you 🤣

[@FilthyUnbound]

I love the idea of travel with a group and especially all like minded people. Sounds so cool!

[@andypoulos1179]

F*ck the haters, brother. You do what makes you happy. Sending good vibes to you and yours!

[@joshuaguilar6710]

im glad you talked about your shared travels on this chanel becaus thats exactly why i love your videos, the adventures you go on and the places you go not only enjoy where you are but to enjoy pokemon too!

[@DaveAkaCeladris]

Even people who do have the means to get to those places benefit immensely from your travel videos. :) Thanks, man. I'm enjoying the research series!

[@davideron5151]

You know what would be a cool video. Travel to wherever your gift from Mateo is from!!

[@JoseGonzalez-vs9ck]

I honestly love the travel part of the channel honestly it’s what made me fall in love with the content plus meeting you at go fest NY was more inspiration ❤

[@MikeGOplay]

It always urked me that you didn’t finish the special research. Lol. Its like cleaning the house. BUT now that we get all this content… genius. Love it. Also, 9 for 9!!!

[@aioIialeo]

17:44 very good video, lots of memories was nice to see them, and yea, they just aloe vera flowers...

[@ediddy406]

Montana is a beautiful state Nick! Come back again!!!

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

17:26 Those plants are called Fire Pokers and they all over these days, I see them at stores and in front of people's houses. 😄👍

[@mattbriggs7677]

17:30 Those plants are some sort of aloe. It might be aloe arborescens but usually those blooms are more red. Alot of aloes look pretty similar.

[@juliokaiser2923]

Yoooo having a travel trip with people in the community would be so sick!! Thankfully I now am at a place in my life where that kind of thing is possible, filling out the survery rn!!

[@humonculusroguthetumor7535]

Nick come to Montana and play we have a lot of fun playing here! I live in a small town 10 minutes from the capitol building and the fact you got a fort Benton gift is awesome!!!

[@unripetheberrby6283]

It sounds so nice to be able to do something like that Travel Trip some day! I hope when ever it can happen, everyone has fun, stays safe, and shares it n stuff! :')

[@jenbowers1857]

I did a TrovaTrip to Italy with an author/podcaster I like this year and it was AWEESOME. I played so much PoGo along the way!

[@Snish222]

A trainer tips trip sounds great! Budgets are definitely a big variable to do so!

[@holisticleedriven8532]

Sounds like an excellent opportunity, but I have no money. We're going through a lot rn, but I hope you check in with those of us who can't. Have fun! ❤

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

I don’t just like that you travel but how you view and talk about the places you visit.

[@BearerOfBadNews]

I began watching this channel from day one. For your tips and tricks for Pokémon go. Also, I enjoyed when you played with your family and seeing the game through their eyes. The episodes with your brother were always fun to watch. Then you began traveling to play pokemon go in other countries. Seeing the game experience in foriegn places is always interesting. The feeling of playing the game vicariously through your vids has been enjoyable for the past seven years. Here's to the next seven .👍

[@Anne-qk3ch]

It's not something I can swing with my other obligations but i would watch the heck out of soonsored content from the trip.

[@CCSMrChen]

I always look forward to winter time because I travel away from my usual spots. Just visiting family. Getting 100km away gives me that one more trade candy!

[@StegoRaptor333]

I agree with you on the whole routes/Mateo thing. Not sure why they decide to do outdoor research during extreme weather seasons. It’s freezing 🥶 winter weather up here in the US and scorching 🥵 weather in Australia. It would be nice if the did outdoor research during late spring or early fall so that weather in most of the world is temperate and pleasant to be outside.

[@MonicaBaik]

Yes!! I’m very interested in Pokemon travel with you! I’ve been telling my kids for years that I wish you would do that! I love the travel aspect of your videos as much as the Pokémon! ❤️

[@trainerskulb00d]

Very interesting to see the cutscenes from the past, I find it appealing because I began watching your channel this year. Zoe looks so young, almost like a younger sister lol....

[@SquidDaBeast]

Yoo. Happy for you with the partnership. Definitely something i would be hoping to see

[@justaminuteie6586]

Did the survey. I would DEFINITELY travel with you! I've been fortunate to visit many countries and would love to get back to traveling! Even if it's here in the US. Still a lot of northwestern states I havent visited. And Alaska. Absolutely would love to play and explore up there! 😍

[@lukasmihara]

What a nice throwback. I love this December full of TrainerTips so far :) I'd definitely love to see some adventure videos like the ones for Mew and Celebi 🎵 Maybe now I have a reason to walk more routes: to have a tiny chance on a TrainerTips present ^^ I loved watching all your adventures so far and I'm looking forward to all the future adventures and amazing places you'll take us :) I also love the detailed Trainer Tips, but the adventure videos are surely my favorites. I'd love to join someday ^^ Another Special Research done ✓ I hope your December Challenge isn't too stressful and everything will go well. It's surely very enjoyable to watch and I'm looking forward to more! Take care :)

[@michelletxmischief4390]

Survey complete. Let's gooooo! 🌎✈️

[@christinetucker5432]

Plant is "Red hot pikers". I think the invasive species in New Zealand that you are thinking of are Lupins. Also not native to NZ, but look stunning along the riverbanks in the mountains of South Island!

[@christinetucker5432]

"Pokers"

[@PinkyPie-333]

This is the first video I've seen from you and I can tell you are a Legend.

[@Snish222]

Loving the reviews of when you did past parts of the research!

[@ANTONIOEMO11]

Hey Nick with an iPhone you can take a picture of a plant/flower and if you go to the “info” tab it will tell you what plant/flower it most likely is

[@HHHbyRRR]

Been watching since the start! Really digging this month and all the content!

[@cojav_9890]

I enjoy your travel and camping vlogs the most

[@Aquamarine8822]

This the show I came to see. Travel /pokemon!!! We love to see it! Keep making them would love to travel!!!

[@LoyaFrostwind]

In the slow winter months of the Northern Hemisphere, you could go travel the warm summery Southern Hemisphere.

[@ScottRobinson76]

Watched you since the beginning, always enjoyed your travel vlogs.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Cool opportunity/concept with the traveling and to play Go I respect that. Hence I still stick with you throughout the years still.

[@wiwright334]

That travel thing you talked about towards the end sounds absolutely amazing! I wish I’d be able to go but my wife and I are about to have our first baby! I can’t wait to hopefully play Pokémon go with my kids some day!

[@sebastiencote1565]

Very cool video series. Love to hear from you everyday. I know it’s a lot of work, bit know that it is really appreciated!

[@jordancollins444]

Waiting for the episode where it’s only a minute and 7 seconds long where all Nick does is claim it and ends it, I know it’s coming up

[@misathegoat3789]

That’s dead ass true. I’ve never really subscribed to you for your Pokemon Go content. It was always mainly for your dope cinematic and places you go to travel. While I do love Pokemon Go, I never came to this channel for serious Pokemon Go content.

[@Geetargyro]

I’ve been on a band cruise and this travel idea is friggin awesome.

[@jojidb11]

trips with you and the community sounds cool ; would definitely be an adventure!

[@eddiewong4001]

I definitely like the travel content you bring to this channel.

[@pepsimax8078]

I am really loving this «advent calander» 😄✨

[@davisuko_]

Dude I love your channel so much, I would love to go and travel and experience a new place and culture!

[@unripetheberrby6283]

When Sandyghast evolved, it was real cool to see Pilosand kinda form out of the ground like that lol!

[@PolarBearBaker]

I personally LOVE playing in Fall/Winter cause I HATE the heat. So, being able to play Pokémon Go when it's cool/cold outside is absolutely amazing for me!

[@VoltUni]

I would totally be interested in the trip!!!! Would be so fun meeting the community and making new friends

[@sm8758354]

U are the Reason we enjoy the game...thank you really ❤😊

[@SavageDarknessGames]

TY for showing the stardust works, lucky egg for xp rewards as well!
