Pokemon Let's Go: 13 Differences From Red and Blue

[@kotaku]

FUN FACT: this video only uses FIVE MINUTES AND TWENTY SECONDS of footage! This fact will be of especially deep interest to any Nintendo PR representatives who happen across this video . . .

[@brivnii]

Kotaku hahaha I totally feel you on this one.

[@brivnii]

Woah!!! When you where talking about the art direction I totally thought of Megaman Legends because this Poke Mart reminded me of it. I didn’t know MML shared art style with Ape Escape! I totally dig the marts and interior in this game. Hopefully someone Ports MML and MML 2 to the switch

[@BenSchubert1995]

12:05 Unless you count that computer chair standing in front of the computer. He can just as easily pull it from it's place and place it in front of his tv. Boom.

[@ClnlBogey]

76 reps so far.

[@MichaelsPwner]

I’m assuming you are not allowed to use more than five minutes and thirty seconds of gameplay footage in these review videos, per your NDA?

[@LostTimeHero]

Somebody get this man a raise.

[@rafaelcafonso]

Tim Rogers is a national treasure.

[@r4wr0ck]

The last joke in this video is genius.

[@kotaku]

i'm glad someone appreciated it. as a bit of an amateur numerology appreciator, having THAT random number generated for ME in THIS game felt like a miracle

[@pedrobraga8072]

Tim Rogers is genius :D

[@Jaysus777Live]

its so good, i spit my drink out

[@lukeatusrain]

I was born stupid, but I will not die out of the loop. What does the last joke mean?

[@r4wr0ck]

@@lukeatusrain 9 to 5 is a colloquial way of referring to a full time job. So Tim's ID number being 925925 resembles what would be 2 full-time jobs.

[@avinatempest]

Hell Yeah! Tim Rogers is the only reason I watch Kotaku :)

I’m not even halfway done with this video but this is already the best video on the new Pokémon games so fer

[@slushg3326]

brivnii I wholeheartedly agree.

[@takeit1229]

I have to assume the dislikes are just people spamming "dislike" on everything related to this game. Same nerds that are spamming Metacritic with bad reviews. Hell I'm not buying this game, but relax you weirdos.

[@enny7377]

Since when does Kotaku have such a good freakin' reviewer? This is amazing.

Came in expecting the usual review left concerned and subscribed.

[@nicholaslovell3380]

I enjoyed this video to the utmost extent of the law! before this video, I was a blind and parched desert-dweller fumbling with broken-nailed-fingers in the sand for any trace of moist ground in which to dig for mother gaia's milk. as my leathered digits found nothing but rock, bone, and dead vegetation, i found this video and was plunged shoulder-deep into cool, clear (i imagine, seeing as i cannot see in this analogy) waters. i had found that which i sought. i drunk deep of it, and hit the LIKE button.

Very impressed with your work Tim. Immediately hoped the video was hosted by your personal channel and realized your undoubtably numerous narrated videos are lost in a sea of other videos hosted by the indistinguishably named “Kotaku” channel.

[@kotaku]

there is a playlist on this channel! it's all me~

i was so confused at the title and it was this guys voice. i like this guy

Dude first time on your channel but damn it's funny how you emphasize so much on Pokemon and pokeballs

[@ariffinhr8426]

This guy needs his own show. Funny and witty dialogues. Keep up the good work.

[@Butterworthy]

"Catch ALL OF THEM. Scrub the earth clean of their filth!" legitimately the funniest shit that's come out of Kotaku in years.

"Like two big scoops of water flavoured icecream" too good.

"Look at this good boy! Learning about himself!" lol I'm dead

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

That comment about what makes Let's Go Pokemon = "Nostalgia" + "Barely any Game Mechanics" made my day. XD

[@ShadowMercury]

So........ I’m very torn. I want to play Pokémon on my Switch..... but this isn’t what I want..... yet I want to play it...... can it be 2019 now? I’m ready for Gen 8.

[@bingobongo1615]

I absolutely want to play it! If it where a little bit more challenging...

[@Ivy_Mike]

Just look at it as an appetizer. It's just a light, casually fun way to have some Pokemon in your life while you wait for the next gen.

[@eddiew.4650]

So you want to play it, but it's not want you wanted? So why not play it?

“You can get fancier balls..” Getting this game now. I could use a new pair of balls.

[@adilrhyder]

Though it's probably hard on Mr. Rogers, love the fact that we're getting so much content produced by him of late. Thanks sir!

[@DrentifulGaming]

Omg. The whole “get pokeballs” repetition section had me cracking up. 😂

[@Leinad44]

I don't think Tim rests, he's just churning these out. Not that I'm complaining!

[@criminon_]

"it seems like a broken off piece of something. more than that, it seems like a broken off SMALL piece of something of a much larger SOMETHING that's not good." Best fucking line in this entire review. Thank you Tim. The message got through.

Some Tim Rogers to save my week.

[@joshuarivera7175]

Someone give this guy a raise

[@cranehill4410]

I’m glad you mentioned geocaching. I got into geocaching well before Pokémon GO was a thing. Along with growing up playing the original Pokémon games as well, I just didn’t understand the appeal of Pokémon GO. I gave it a try, but I was disappointed with how boring it quickly became. Pokémon is about being a Pokémon trainer. Although the catchphrase of Pokémon is “Gotta catch ‘em all!”, catching the Pokémon was not the main thrill of the original games. In my opinion, the main thrill of the Pokémon games is the rpg element of training and evolving your Pokémon through battling. Pokémon GO instead relied on it’s candy system which required you to catch multiples of the same Pokémon species. That’s what made me abandon the game entirely. It was monotonous and very reminiscent of mobile Gacha games. When it comes to Pokémon Let’s GO, the Pokémon company has done a good job at slowly introducing the battling element of Pokémon to the Pokemon GO community. The battling and leveling system is VERY hand-holdy. You no longer have to switch-train your weaker Pokémon since you automatically start with an Exp. Share. I understand now why the starting Pokémon have increased stats compared to their wild counterparts. This game was made for the Pokémon GO community. Their main thrill has been the act of catching the Pokémon, not battling with them. The graphics and overworld sprites of the Pokémon look amazing, but this game is not for me.

[@johnfitch8821]

I’ve never laughed harder over a review in my life until now! Thank you for the laughs good sir.

[@ballzee3178]

Absolutely love that you referenced DQIII

[@pflgrz]

I'm so happy you mentioned Mega Man Legends, this game reminds me so much of it.

[@TheIdleCrow]

Alright, this is officially my favorite review I have seen so far of Pokemon Let's Go, & will likely remain as my favorite!

[@vejjie182]

I'm but a simple man when I hear Tim Rogers, I press like

I expected to watch a video about 13 differences for pokemon let's go, what I got was so much more.

Italian for friend is 'amico'. Should've called it Amikachu

Thank you for your work Tim 🙏

[@andymofoincross]

Can someone explain Tim's signature outro to someone who's new around these parts?

[@kotaku]

andymofoincross basically, when i was born, i was a dumb idiot baby who knew nothing. i spoke no words. to communicate i screamed and cried. these tears and exclamations resulted in my mother providing me milk. and so i learned that language created food. years passed; i embodied a lifestyle that presumed language and knowledge comprised one another’s totality. language allows knowledge’s existence within the individual; the knowledge of past families and communities feeds the individual’s capacity for language. i thus realized that food and wisdom allowed one another’s existence. my quest assumed a final mission: to always eat as though hungry, usually while breathing through my mouth, sometimes while not breathing at all. this latter habit convinced a doctor that when i die, that death will most likely result from choking on a food of ironic softness, like a big punchbowl of macaroni and cheese. so what i’m saying is it’s both philosophical and literal

I'm just going to stop playing games and watch your reviews because they are somehow more fun. I haven't laughed this much ever. Like, *ever*, ever.

[@onup1475]

Um I have to disagree about one tiny detail *Ahem* If I remember you said Jessy James and Meowth are acting exactly like themselves but from my viewpoint you’re 2/3 correct with that statement. The very fact Meowth failed to utter a single word concerns me. Even often saying the famous Tram Rocket Greeting the classic “Meeeowth that’s right” was specifically missing the “That’s right” part.
