2016 is and will most likely be the greatest year of the game. However, I was pleasantly surprised at this years global go fest. Yes, I did have to travel 40 minutes to a D1 university, but there were easily 1000+ people out. Every raid had 10+ groups of 20 people waiting to get in. And it was the first time in a while I got that 2016 feel. Very excited for Halloween, Christmas, and the 2024 Sinnoh Tour!

[@Homestyle.x.Hollywood]

Same this year was great

[@tonydawg]

I was in Venice Italy this year and it was AMAZING every stop had a lure. You could also see people playing in raids

[@Planetmango48]

Yeah...

[@buddydeeznutz3434]

Honestly I felt the same. Went to the local mall and there were so many people out it felt like the old days!

[@zozihn8047]

I didn't go, but I keep hearing it was "surprisingly good" and people had fun etc. despite setbacks, I think things are looking up.

[@martinneween]

Can’t believe I’ve been playing this game for 7 whole years!!! Honestly a top 5 game despite all the bad updates

[@Planetmango48]

Same.

[@mr.pangetako]

One of the best moment I had is everyone was running to get Dragonite, Lapras and Charizard near the beach. It was crazy, everyone was happy to get it. This was back in 2016. But then I remembered, I had a small park near by my home. It had a Dratini spawn. Nobody knew it, may a few 4-5 (like me) walked around and waited for each spawn. And then it got posted. Boom! There are like 200 people walking around to catch dratini in the park. It was surreal.

[@Walter-Hartwell_White212]

the history of pokemon go is truly amazing, i remember grinding pidgey back in the day

[@inactive_tactic]

WtH SAME NOW HES SO RARE

[@HASHBAR710]

MAKE PIDGEY GREAT AGAIN

[@D157urb3d0]

It was insane for the first few months, that's why my 100% 2016 Pidgeot is still my prize possession.

[@JessicaL0ckhart7115]

As someone who has been playing since 2016, I really miss 2020 Pokémon Go. I live in a very small town (1 Pokéstop, 1 Gym). I had a blast playing in 2020, and now I'm back to playing every once in a while.

[@AdinemJ]

I’ve been an OG of this game since day 3 of the release of pogo and I just want to say thanks mystic for posting so regularly for our entertainment, I’ve watched almost all your videos even when I stopped playing for a while!

[@hantyumi95]

I'd like to see an "evolution of weekly/daily research" video. We used to get some amazing mons from the rewards. I'm pretty sure I got both my shiny Darkrai from the weekly

[@TheSohail316]

Got my 100% groudon from it and all my legendary dogs too

[@hsuwarcraft]

Awesome video. Did I miss the beginning of go battle league and trading? The first Pokémon go invitational was pretty awesome. AR aspects are also pretty revolutionary. November cosmetic map change. Background music features. ROUTES!!

[@stanpalmerzan4288]

I've only been playing since June 2019 so didn't get to experience the game before that but I've found this year to be good as I've seen since the covid restrictions have lifted & things are going to a new normal more & more people have been getting more involved with in person events more regularly like raid hour & com day

[@Axecon1]

Been playing since Day 1. Not gonna lie, 2020 & 2021 were peak years. However, the game's had a pretty big drop off in 2022 and 2023. I'll probably stay active as I have a goal to get every Mega Evolution but there's little incentive to keep playing these days beyond that.

[@SteadyBoi33]

anyone else notice that he was with the dangie bros in one of the clips 1:14 thats crazy that they knew each other.

[@williamharper9756]

Damn it’s crazy I’ve been playing this game for 7 years

[@holiday4678]

I just started playing PoGO again after playing last 2016. I am really sad that I just missed the Diancie event, my favorite mythical pokemon. :(

[@washurbrik2848]

Bro you had 2 entire opportunities like 2 weeks ago that's on you

[@holiday4678]

@@washurbrik2848 Well, I totally have no knowledge about what's going on with PoGo until I started playing just a few days ago.

[@bricksmerchant]

@@washurbrik2848 Dude.

[@RachJCullen]

Brilliant vid. So many memories! Great work!

[@bakersnuts100]

Only started playing since the end of July 2022. My daughter got me hooked. Been playing everyday since. Even out in the snow ! and I'm 60 !

[@ljkaspog6637]

Just got back to playing the game since 2016 and damn there are so many changes. The game is far more exciting now.

[@joshmontgomery4993]

same man i got hard into a couple months ago.. all the old mons u got keep!!! you are guarenteed a lucky trade if there from 2016

[@joshmontgomery4993]

by keep i mean dont transfer for candy lol

[@MikeLeady]

Right now is the most fun I've ever had playing!

[@crumblyburgers]

My most memorable moment is hanging out at an outdoor mall with my wife back in the first year when all of a sudden a gloom appears on the nearby list and a master of about fifty people just started to run toward it. One kid yells "I've been training for this my whole life!" Good times. Good times.

[@bug8666]

I still have nightmares of the 1st comday with Pikachu, grinding my ass off for 3h to find 0 shinies

[@kingcobra8299]

That was a great video! Brings back a lot of great memories! Thanks for the upload!

[@MtgJedi]

Oh man. Great job. So much nostalgia!

[@MtgJedi]

Also wow the amount of time editing this video too must have been insane!

[@fabiaaquino2207]

​@@MtgJediyeah it was prob 3-2 months of editing since he said he recorded this on july.

[@dalejenkins995]

Can’t believe you recorded this two months ago and just posted it in September

[@Michael_Misseri]

Today is actually my 7 year anniversary of starting Pokémon Go Started 9/5/2016 Level 39 740 different Pokémon in the dex 12 4 stars 1 shiny 4 star 101 shines

[@vojtech_ledvinka]

9:05 Shiny Happiny, I love this Pokémon SO MUCH

[@pinkfreud62]

I started playing on July 12, 2016 and still playing. Made legendary 40 and still chugging along towards level 45. I'm just addicted to catching Pokémon, lol.

[@williamrobinson3517]

Hey mystic I just got a shiney and Hundo lechonk and literally shaking so much I just screamed whe I saw the Hundo the the next research I clicked on it was a shiney now I want a Shundo lechonk😅

[@Mrgraduation]

Just came back July 27th, Haven’t played Since 2016, just In time for Go fest, Game has been super Fun

[@bulbawinv]

Def wish I had played when it first came out. DL’ed it, but never opened, lol. 2020 sounded amazing, too.

[@alexispblake7488]

me watching pokemon go history ❌ me watching how mystic grows over the year ✅

[@endar2401]

Cool recap. Kanto Tour was the best event I played.

[@Gab3DH]

Bro 2016 was so fun in the netherlands people where running on the beach for wild alakazam

[@savalava]

2023 so far. I started playing in 2021, but I played the global GO fest this year and caught 2 Shiny Rayquazas back to back. Rayquaza has always been my favorite Pokémon and never had a shiny before so I don’t think I’ll ever beat that lol

[@TjScarface91]

Only play in 2016 for like 3 months and never play it ever again😂

[@callsignblaze4388]

2020 was incredible for the ones who didn’t lock down. Shit was poppin.

[@distantchosen]

Not to mention that pokemon go on it's first day wasn't expecting a very high player base which caused problems with the servers

[@themarxfromkirby]

god, its been 7 years already!!? i was 6 when this game came out, and ive been playing on and off for the entire time

[@Whodeyclips]

This is amazing video

[@WaltuhWhlte]

i started pokemon go july 2016 sadly i lost my old acc and my second acc which i use right now is from october 2016 these years we’re just incredible i would do anything to play pokémon go once again in 2016-2019 that game was just a masterpiece

[@megajasonexl]

I started In 2019 and got the shiny Christmas pikachu

[@jesserios2894]

Dope video bro. Way to takes us back in time.

[@cashadeful]

Mystic I didn’t hear you talk about when legendary Pokémon were available in the research box. Good times man.

[@becka-lynn5162]

I still remember hatching my shiny witch hat pichu in 2018

[@llucluna37]

The evolution of Pokemon Go is very nice. Thanks very much for this video

[@davidmatheny398]

I've only been playing since May of this year and I'm having fun.

[@BuisnessNinja]

This game would be actually perfect if the battle system was like that of the gameboy games.

[@LilDaGreat]

A updating video for returning players this year would be 🔥

[@HuntingandFishing_Gav]

I love your vids mystic keep going your awesome

[@deweyoberholter462]

Personal favorite was when armored Mewtwo was in EX raids I wish it wood come back for the shiny release along with the clones

[@coeurenpoche]

I miss the old times where you can catch legendary pokemon really easy.

[@andrejones3563]

Who remembers that guy in the clip at 1:14? I can’t remember his name but I used to love his clash of clans vids

[@ClashwithAxersion]

We just saw mystic grow up without realising

[@fn8382]

I understand i lost a lot of different things. I satarted in 16 but i have break from 17 to 18 and then play 19 and 20 and then i started a few days ago again

[@tugsman5]

I've always slightly hated the game after Gen 2. I CANNOT tell you how much I DESPISE the randomness of them rolling pokemon out. Should be in order, FULL GEN AT ONCE! I still hate raids with a passion since you can't do them at night, even though you could in Niantics Harry Potter game.

[@GreedyGreedent]

My favorite event was the squirtle squad comm day from a few years ago

[@hurikanee9965]

I messed up by evolving my shiny Pikachu with surf. Didn't realize it would lose the move at the time. However I still have the team mystic bag I won at the local meet up that day.

[@hurikanee9965]

Start date 7-11-2016

[@jvwee]

i remember the army of pigeotoes in my box to farm xp 😂

[@randomgamingchannel3744]

Yoooooooooo I loved to see the journey so far and I’m loving seeing it grow

[@MrRootProblem]

I’d be glad to play this game for another 20 years

[@andrewkonkol751]

the quality of your videos is unmatched

[@jonathanvail9643]

Great watching us and Go changes from day1 to today.

[@fortendo0207]

That sun and moon event was great

[@pambulama973]

Bit late with your videos lately as we’ve had the Go Fests but otherwise very thorough

[@Jay420-]

I missed half of '21 & all of '22 i sure did miss out on some exciting stuff.

[@WedodumbstuffYT]

1:14 you can see the dangie bros before they created there channel

[@Dodgers7249]

Wow this is a great documentary on Pokémon go

[@williamrobinson3517]

The Hundo cp is 314 just to let you now

[@Endcriptedplays]

Love ur vids

[@aquatictoise1547]

This video was/is amazing man!🎉

[@AniPokeOATS]

I remember the good old days of 2016 and 2017… A Beedrill, Kingdra, and Magmar are in my storage from 2016. And a lot more from 2017. I joined on the release month in 2016, I remember doing every single event, taking time off the game, and so much more. I really miss those days… 😢 Niantic should bring back Pokémon GO 2016 for April fools 2024…

[@Cl4rky92]

Man its been a journey

[@destroyerthw4719]

Man we actually grew up with pokemon go after these years

[@z50king29]

I played a few of these years by myself, so some were good and some weren't so fun

[@trevsguitarstash4967]

Way to throw your lil bro under the spoofing bus bahaha cool vid

[@trevsguitarstash4967]

You lose...go away

[@batzgameguru]

The first year of pokemon go was a very good year, everyone was out, happy and its gone downhill

[@BigSnowBallsGale]

Hey guys I got a shundo lechonk on the first day of the paldea event

[@traverserred]

The Hear Us Niantic suffers from a bad name. of course they hear you but that doesn't mean they are gonna fix anything. it should be called Fix It Niantic or something like that.

[@Pxolarized]

At 7:29 you said it was your last time in japan but how about poke fest 2023 in osaka

[@Aleysurvival]

really nice to see the journey

[@Planetmango48]

1:08 and I remember it... If only I didn't ****ing transfer them. 1:44 ah... 2:05 I remember after the school day ended, and then gen 2 mons released. Though pretty sure I stopped playing for awhile.... At least didn't play it often. 5:16 I think I slightly remember it... 6:53 I forgot the Hp and stuff was at the top back then. 7:07 I remember. Or maybe a different year. 7:24 not really. 8:57 What do you mean?!?? I never knew that. 9:33 This was a thing?? I think I started to play alot more again in late 2020. 11:06 That last one.... Is going to be near impossible for me. 12:02 I remember this well. 13:02 Never found that Dragonair for the collection challenge.

[@its.alecks]

quit in 2018 and just came back, crazy how people frowned upon spoofing but now there's remote raids

[@vlo4829]

Controversial Opinion: The Mr Mime event was a good event. I still use the mime pose. Noncontroversial Opinion: The Ed Sheeran event should have featured a Pikachu with Ed Sheeran hair.

[@MaxBlueCoC]

Great Video!

[@ddubbeleim_]

The "over-shaded" effect being gone is a blessing. Game looks so gorgeous now.

[@PiKaChuITA23]

This is mine 7° anniversary (but i lost my first account…and now i have a new one) - start 9/4/2019 - catches 4500+ - lv.34 - shiny 114 - Pokedex: 491 HAPPY 7° ANNIVERSARY TO ALL 🎉

[@batzgameguru]

April 2020 was peak pokemon go

[@nickeinhd]

I love your videos i just got out of school and checked you account to see if you made a new video

They need to redo a community day classic I didn’t catch it

[@Uuduk564]

[@Benm8_]

1:35 hay I have that skin

[@dplay1248]

bro recorded this in july releasing it in sept thank you tho

[@sinister1188]

this is insane! we've come a long way

[@Whodeyclips]

No

[@Whodeyclips]

Your not the real one your getting reported

[@ricardosimons7571]

I have experienced everything, until now that I suddenly get a radom ban because I played too much in 1 week and that ban lasted 30 days and yes I know that there is also a 1st ban that lasted 7 days but I did not have that I immediately received the 30-day ban and I received that ban at the end of June and it still tells me that I have the 30-day ban, but I still wish we could actually go back in time to the very beginning of 2016

[@ericnorton6411]

I just wish they’d make the game fair for rural players… never able to get raid Pokémon. Why not make the lobbies global? Why do I need to try and find 6 other people in Texas to go out and find a raid? Game still punishes people not in populated areas and drive them to spoof in order to have same level of play as others.

[@KhaDuongBao]

this game the best game ever and i just played for a month

[@ArturoMedinaGOD]

It's was so beautiful the first years 🥹
