Thanks for having me on bro!! This was so much fun

[@KyleHartshorn-r1f]

Come back to pokemon go ❤

[@RoperSeiler]

I miss your PoGo content, my guy. This was dope to see. Thanks for doing this

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

Hi Gio! Great seeing you and Brandon in a video together..Cheers, Leesa

[@ShreksFarm]

Gaaf om te zien! Zag pas halverwege de video dat je Nederlands was! Respect man, dacht altijd dat in Nederland pogo moeilijker was door de kleine steden en dorpjes… veel naar Kijkduin geweest? Onze pogo hoofdstad? 😅

[@aqualung2112]

Being a player since day 2 and been watching reversal and nick and Brandon ever since I can remember when the game started this made me feel very nostalgic 😢

[@darkedragon234]

Ongggggg I sometimes rewatch them just cause it's oldie goldies

[@VanshTheBest]

Lol I played at time like 2016 and then leaved the game after 2-3 months I still regret it, but still started this year got 2 hundos 37 shinies 1 shiny kyurem till now

[@nickc3213]

Definitely miss Lachlan and Reversal playing Pokemon Go, those were the days!

[@darkedragon234]

Amen

[@star_wars_miniatures]

For me I loved how difficult gen 1 and 2 were at the very beginning of the game. It really got me out and about walking long distances and even running to catch new Pokémon. Now we are just spoon fed new pokemon in the new gens. Also loved the original introduction of mystery boxes that had legendary pokemon

[@Rallzs]

Sadly you’re not wrong and I have to completely agree with you 🫡

[@SilencePandaa]

I'm glad they made it easier, as I've got way too much shit irl to be spending on Pogo. Nowadays I can spend 20-30 minutes a day, feel satisfied and end my session

[@maganhassan2627]

Some new pokemon are still rare though e.g. frigabax so not exactly true about them spoon feeding us new pokemon though I do see some truth to your comment 🤷‍♂️ legendary pokemon debuted in raids not research breakthrough if you're referring to that

[@yanicrobertson1359]

100% agree 2016 and 2017 grinding was the best time also was the hardest times to grind

[@timtam9168]

Love hearing even the top players love being out with people, it's the best part of the game. Great content ❤

[@claudiel4660]

This is so amazing as a memory. When Gen 2 dropped, Rev did a livestream and and got a wild gyary and I remember the hype in the chat. It was amazing!

[@IRISnGEN]

Aww, I miss PGo Gio, meet him in NYC at the Nintendo store while he waited on line, was very nice and took some time to chat. Wish him the best and I still drop into his stream every so often.

[@gfourmacman]

Reversal was before my time in the game, but what an interesting guy! Great collection. Hard to believe anyone could walk away from that.

[@Speedcubermaxwell]

Love @reversal he is brilliant I remember being in dortmund Germany doing a raid hour before go fest , and hearing his voice so loud just before Tom cruiseship go a shiny , and also remember watching him live streaming catch his 1st girafarig and deleting it straight away

[@princeje07]

Glad to have met both of you in Sentosa Safri Zone Kingdom Cup.. that event was one of the best for me in my Pokemon Go game history!

[@FilippoFilo94]

i miss so much reversal pokemon go videos, he was the first pokemon go youtuber i ever watched and he was awesom 😢😢😢

[@shevertons4602]

Such an awesome vid, and so good to see a Reversal PoGo video again ❤

[@Reereez4795]

Very nice video! Really cool diving into Reversal’s account and PoGo history

[@AssafChriqui]

Love this series of interviews with po go players

[@callsignblaze4388]

I started in February of 22. The nerfs have kind of effected me but I got over it. I’ve put together a pretty incredible account with in a little over a year and the less raiding has been kind of good for how much I spend play and switched my play style.

[@ShreksFarm]

Just halfway through the video I realised he was Dutch. I didnt think a top player would come out of the Netherlands 😂 proud to be Dutch! Pretty sure he went to Kijkduin a lot which was called the major city of pogo in the Netherlands 😅

[@mr.flupsurf2860]

op de fiets langs de dijken werkt goed voor mij 🤙

[@Blt47]

Was blessed to do a remote raid with him at one point way back I belive it was Mega Venisaur and have kept the Venisaur from the raid ever since as a lil treasure 😅 cool to see him back again 😎 🎉

[@rocketraccoon4626]

lucky

[@darkhumor1259]

Such a gay comment 🍆

[@tugsman5]

Player since day 1, always watched yours and nicks channels, never was a Rev fan, but his account and accomplishments sure it pretty cool.

[@Sicko2005]

I would love if pokemon Go did a leaderboard for badges and stuff. Bunch of friends of mine had a spread sheet and that would keep me going to see how i ranked with them in everything.

[@Islandgirl4ever2]

GIOOOOOOO.. Hey there! So cool to see you and Brandon together in a vid.. Looks like you all had a great time in Japan!!! Cheers, Leesa in France

[@jpnlvr]

I cry every time I think about the Ishinomaki PoGo event. I wanted SO BAD to go but someone just didn’t get it😭 It’s great to see you guys together again, so huge thank you for this video Brandon!! Gio, love ya, man☺️✨

[@Sunthoriscool]

The collab we did not want, but what we needed.

[@XACTIC_Valour]

Nah, not a fan of Rev. His personality just ain't it for me

[@lile4life713]

@@XACTIC_Valourfact he has a crappy attitude

[@DerLinoDino]

I also don't like this guy

[@pontus3018]

What? lol i think you said it wrong.

[@ThugsterRat]

I wanted it

[@zixqray]

The fact that he was the top players and is insanely humble truly shows the community has lost such an awesome man but hey hell be back fo next year go fest ayy🎉

[@Zipzapzak10]

I love your content so much mate keep it up!

[@iikatiex]

Same!

[@StarSkatez]

wow that’s a crazy opportunity! Keep it going man.

[@RnPlayzRBLX]

I’m coming back to your channel after 7 years. I recently started playing again a few weeks ago, and I remembered your channel so I came back.

[@jasonarble2798]

I'm surprised not much people keep their starter. I still have my OG charizard. Best buddied too 😂

[@kaku00]

Awesome video. I miss that guy! I still grind the evolutions for xp! It's cheaper lol

[@mrcypherdragon3918]

i remember reversal back in the old KnD days in like 2015-16....

[@Jeroen026PoGo]

3 years after quitting and he still has more Bunnelby XL Candy than me 😂

[@mikemoran7265]

2016 and 2017 were peak Pokemon go. The game was tough and now everything has become easy. The last xp event I farmed 175 million xp even with working.

[@RahanUllah]

2016 was the best era for me. Missed those days when everyone was out and about during the summer

[@finalboss1015]

Closest thing to in game challenge/leaderboards I think would be showcase or most damage done in raids. That's all I can think of.

[@lw6953]

I was so happy to see Reversal again hanging out with you guys!

[@CommentMasterBoom]

Reversal's poke-nicknames is the right way to do it 🤣

[@teobuha2992]

A wil never forgot the legendary reversul the shundo bagon is insane 😊

[@kelbel9577]

I remember Pikachu Comm Day I was out with some friends and I got 2 shiny male and a shiny female. I asked one of my friends if they wanted to transfer the female Pikachu because I only collected male ones. I would’ve deleted it myself but I wanted someone else to experience the joy of transferring a shiny. I also posted a video in my local FB page of me transferring about 15-18 Mewtwo (had to be done one by one).

[@pacoerskine3625]

Sorry ...gotta pause the video before finishing it,,,then gotta get snazzed up for a Rocky Horror cast party potluck at a cemetary soon..But Reversal!!!!! Dude WAS the MAN!!! When we all first started in 2016 to 2018 when Us OG's were left in the dark...His 10pm videos of what to expect the next mornong in the U.S. or what was going on was invaluable for me to convey to other game developer co-workers and pokemon players...Got 1 shoutout from him during a livestream when Ditto was released...."Dittos okay...but ya got to dodge EVERYTHING...#1 tranrtips livestream shout-out was letting him know Mystic 7 was in the hospital due to ODing on caffeine....But I digress...great seeing Reversal on KZbin again...now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

[@SuperDatsun71]

I noticed mostly all go players transfers their shinies I send them to Pokémon home And do random trades to help out who ever wants a shiny greninja Chespin.. etc same with legendaries

[@whiterabbit6341]

I'm making a full collection in Home, so many of my shinies go there. Most others I trade with a friend. After playing years of Pokemon games (without getting many shinies) it's SO hard for me to transfer them.

[@mrmcfluffy212]

the collaboration of 2 goats summons a lot of nostalgia😌

[@TheKruseShip]

Loved watching this video! Great idea.

[@joefitzhugh301]

I have a pic with Rev from Go Fest 2018 he was incredibly nice

[@coryguitargod4885]

Reversal!!! I always wondered what happened to this amazing trainer & KZbinr! What an amazing video! 🙌

[@ImEcchi]

Didn’t know Reversal still played, I watched him and Nick at launch.

[@silverytc1566]

The best part of Pokemon Go was the early days when there would be mass people in public areas running because a Dragonite spawned on their nearby list. Those moments will never be in the game again, just because there aren't as many people playing.

[@whiterabbit6341]

I started during the pandemic and really appreciate his perspective of how reversing the bonuses effected us. Great video. Seems like a nice guy with an awesome collection. :) I also have 1 shiny nundo - Snorlax. It will be lv 50 some day. :)

[@C0nnie]

a Shnada

[@fowler0028]

Well if you bothered to read they clearly stated that the pandemic bonuses were TEMPORARY 🤷‍♂️

[@guccimane8310]

​@@fowler0028 Thats not the point, if you bothered to critically think about the situation then you would understand why people are upset. People want Pokemon Go to be a more at-home friendly game. And no that doesn't mean to make the game completely playable at home, it just means it's possible to play the game even a little if you're at home. Bc as of right now, you cannot do anything unless you are walking, maybe like one or 2 pokemon will spawn within an hour if you're lucky. But they added changes that worked really well for everyone and made the game just better and more fun, and made it playable for people with disabilities, or for people who are immuno-compromised. It's very, VERY, difficult for those type of people to play the game. And some people just don't have time either, between working a job or more one job, potentially having a family, and having responsibilities it'll be hard for them to play too. So them keeping the changes would of benefitted literally everyone, and made the game just so much better. Everyone understood that they would remove the bonuses, that's not the point, but the people tried to convince Niantic to keep the changes bc of how much better it made the game for everyone, even for people with disabilities and immuno-compromised immune system. But they still removed it, and now bc of that people with disabilities can't play. people with immuno-compromised immune systems can't play, and made the game ONLY playable if you're outside walking. And some people just can't do that. It quite literally made the game worse for everyone. The people could live in such a dangerous area that it would literally be risking their own lives for a game. Me, for example, I was just walking around with friends at some park, and we heard gun shots go off that was relatively close to us and decided GTFO there. Why get rid of the changes if 1) it benefitted literally everyone, 2) it made the game playable for people who couldn't play the game at all before. and 3) Literally almost everyone in the community wanted the changes to stay, and loved the bonuses. Companies make video games to form communities and to have a huge player base, and if those communities and players are asking for one thing, but the company gives them the complete opposite and makes the game worse to the community and players. why would the people/players stay and play the game? it doesn't make sense.

My ace league stat is about the same...I remember being pissed when they did away with the old gyms and "training" then the only way to get it was battle the team bosses in training, which is INSANELY boring because they don't play good enough or correctly.
