The Most Anticipated Pokémon of 2024!

[@nicknackwaddleback7504]

listening to these leaves my expectations for Niantic too high. They've already shown that they don't care about their player base and would rather cater to the newbies who aren't familiar with how things once were.

[@madstache5708]

I’m on my first year of Pokémon Go so I guess I can say I’m a newbie and if they’re catering towards newbies then this sucks lol I don’t think they care about their player base AT ALL.

[@Blaze-ut5vl]

They just expect people to be able to afford the game which most can’t get out and go. Some of the things to grind or areas to get to is insane let me just take three weeks off and spend a few thousand for go fest. If only all were able we could enjoy the game the same. Instead I’ll go to my local park when I’m able but it’s getting colder so I’ll be playing less as usual. Rant over. Lmao.

[@AlaskaDuckDynasty]

You can only bleed older players so much, new players are more flush with cash. Niantic doesn’t give a crap about long term players, they almost seem to loathe them.

[@Multiverse_zombie]

Hopefully they put mega Lucario or Mewtwo

[@Supertoddy96]

the pokemon company hasnt cared about their playerbase for such a long time because youre too addicted and will buy everything and anything they give you, which speaks more on the community than the company and the community wont change

[@xdabsx1]

They should also speed up the evolution animations, or be able to tap thru it like the opening gift animations

[@rookierider2096]

U ca skip it….

[@Fullymetaljacket]

No

[@corylyonsmusic]

This please!

[@dkzryan]

For gifts you can skip the whole thing.

[@FireDudeOnFire]

Yeah, the gifts have an invisible x button to skip the entire animation

[@ryanhubbard1885]

I hope they introduce Gigantamax with a Butterfree Special Research task. It’d go with the Beedrill research for Mega Evolution and I’m sitting on a 4* Butterfree that I want to be relevant 😂

[@ShadowDragon688]

Not really a new mechanic, but it would be nice if we could get something more relevant from the 7 day streak like when we used to get legendaries. This was especially good for rural players who don't have too many opportunities to raid legendaries. Also I would personally like more pokeballs in the game like the quick ball, net ball, dusk ball etc.

[@SpiritSpiked]

I feel like if they were to release Gigantamax Pokémon into the game, they should do it with the release of the Gen 8 Starters since we haven’t gotten into the game yet because they released Gen 9 first. So release the Gen 8 starters and pokemon with the Gigantamax ability would be pretty hype if they did it.

[@mattv2099]

Word on the street is that in Scarlet and Violet era Ash Greninja got a major nerf to it's stats. I doubt the more powerful stat version of Ash Greninja will ever come to Pokemon Go.

[@Charley02]

How bout Necromza? Dusk Mane and Dawn wings could be the next fusion after Kyurem blk

[@halliday5350]

I always thought that a poke Center would be a great addition to the game. Using the same algorithm they use for stops/gyms, I believe they could definitely implement a poke Center in the game

[@officialdannyg]

Man I remember talks about this since 2017. Here we are almost 7 years laters and its still not a thing in the game. 💀

[@lavalance914]

Mewtwo won't be able to cover 3 typings, the only reason the weather trio cover 3 types is because as they're named they are the weather trio, so it's a feature that will be unique to them

[@elec06YT]

During go fest, I caught two wild metagross, one was 10/15/15, the other was a hundo, (I only found that out at the end of the day) but because I had caught them during go fest they came ready with meteor mash so at the end of the day I sat at my table and when I found out I wouldn’t need elite tms and these are just free metagross ready to use I was already super happy then when I found out it was a WILD HUNDO METAGROSS i kicked back so hard I fell off my chair and dislocated my shoulder on my bed, I am very ready for mega metagross

[@Interstice1994]

Dont leave us hanging bro... Are you okay?😂

[@elec06YT]

@@Interstice1994 oh yeah I’m completely fine now

[@samuelhan2353]

I want Niantic to add an "everstone" item. The function is when you trade, IVS stay the same. If you have an extra hundo or your friend really wants a shundo and you come across a mutual trade you can use it to have the IVS unaltered. The way that one would get the item would be similar to obtaining a masterball. A research that would be released every so often. That way one could hold onto multiple and use them at their leisure.

[@iitzSammie]

Worldwide traiding option would be amazing, even if it's just one a remote trade a week it'd help us grind for Lucky friends even more or at least not block us. I'm not sure about Remote Raiding, I don't want to say nerf it... again. But maybe in-person Raids need buffed to get people out Raiding in person again.

[@andybiz4273]

As far as a year in review, one of the more annoying things was the miscalculation for the 5x xp for spinning new stops. I spun just over 400 new stops, all with a lucky egg going, but only got 2600xp instead of the 3000xp it should have been, so I ended up getting shorted over 160,000xp total.

[@juliamorin8445]

Mega lucario mega metagross. Black kyurem & white , easier for rare candy xl , no limit on remote and lower price on remote pass i hope

[@Royvankalken023]

I hope so mega Mewtwo y & x are coming

[@bigmel26]

If we get the gen 9 legendaries in the near future, I'll be satisfied with that.

[@christofferbergsten1940]

Have a level 50 shundo lucario hatch from the hachts day just a few weeks ago got a 100% iv beldum worikng on maxing it out

[@Ditronus.]

If they want more/better community play, add visible "wait" lobbies above raids that show people "hey, theres two people in a wait status at this gym waiting for more plauers." Timed lobbies make no sense as the default, only option when you want us to coordinate in person raids with potentially random people. Also, allow me to raid a boss again without rewards to help out others players. Cant tell ya how bad it feels during shadow raids to have just started/finished a raid when a player pulls up and asks if weve gone in yet. Dont give me rewards for it, but allow me to HELP other players if i have the time and resources to. All common sense. Oh, and give players a UI tracker that tells them how many remotes they have left for today without finding a raid close enough that it appears on your map to click and far enough you cant raid it. If you put a hard limit in the game, allow us to track it so it's harder to screw others in poke genie and such.

[@Cyberpansy]

1000%. The raiding lobby is a garbage fire of UX. I would also add anywhere notifications for if you’re invited to a raid by a friend. Right now it’s incredibly easy to miss the notification if you’re in the gifts/friends interface, or waiting in a separate lobby. It’s terrible. World of Warcraft fixed all this stuff very early on - what is taking Niantic so long? 😤

[@Ditronus.]

@Cyberpansy expect a lot less for a lot more from mobile game companies, unfortunately.

[@epicbosco]

Man Niantic needs to add all the Gen 8 pokemon first, they literally skipped like most of them 😭

[@Lucky69K]

7:54 matbe 1st gmax could be gmax zard as popular mon or gmax snorlax tooo

[@gmo53104]

I can. Confirm this. Mega rayquaza in the main games DESTROYED THE UBER META AND CREATED THE ANYTHING GOES META(aka no restrictions on Pokemon) and while mewtwo y is an absolute nuclear tank! Mega Rayquaza just wasn’t able to be

[@Gape_horn103]

"2023 was a massive win" * Remote raid pass nerf joined the chat*

[@inder369]

Is Eternatus Available In Pokemon Go ❓

[@dangdiggity9916]

im not sure if it was just me, but the audio in this video seemed kinda low, not too low but noticeable :p on a different note tho i do think they might consider tera raids next, its basically endless versions (19 x amount of pokemons available). not sure if they would release them with specific pre determened tera + pokemon (I.E. tera fire garchomp). adding a button for raids where you can go from the current typing to the tera typing so you could lets say use garchompo with fire blast as a fire attacker now with stab. or something like tera fairy your rayquaza so it lasts longer in dragon raids. doubt you can mega and tera the same pokemon at time but that too would be amazing.

[@abdullahsahi_0016]

We need deleting egg option and remote lucky trade option aswell. plus you forgot Tera raids are now availible too in the series game.

[@israelmartinez4097]

Mewtwo now covers all weather conditions since he can do it in the movie lmao

[@lilschwaby940]

Both mine and my partners party play has not been working in raids for the past few weeks

[@TheTrainerClub]

Does it now?

[@cbronsonda13th37]

Appreciate you taking the time to make these videos your the best can’t wait for 2024 HERE WE GOOOOOO !!!

[@jasonhumphries9434]

I love raiding but since the price went through the roof for remotes & the limit was nerfed I don’t raid as much as I’d like which is a shame.

[@HunterM430]

The raid the limit is still an issues for everyone, i think if they limited it to 10-20 a day and dropped the price to the original or even lower, they will make so much more money

[@inder369]

Pokemon Go Should Add 6vs6 Battles 🔥💯

[@IYIagiix]

Gigantamax 😮 I didn’t grow up on Pokémon. That’s crazy 😂

[@OnePiece_topic]

Sadly, I think they will give Mewtwo a move that will make it even stronger than mega Requeza, but mega raquaza should be stronger than mega Mewtwo in my opinion, that Pokémon got banned from Uber league in normal, Pokémon PVP

[@FoxduddCraizzzy]

I hope they release every pokemon up to gen 8 and the gen 9 starters shiny and I want paradox mons here too and I agree with everything you saying too

[@lelouchchanbc]

Hey Niantic! Stop introducing too much costume Pokemon and focus on Pokemon that aren't introduce in Pokemon Go. Still many Pokemon are not debut in Pokemon Go still left behind. As i said custom pokemon nothing for shiny version and regular color version thoroughly same as original body color of the pokemon and the costume that wear is look similar in both shiny and regular unless the costume also has shiny color for shiny pokemon. Not too interesting. I don't know why players still crazy hunt these shiny costume pokemon because it too rare but i don't think so. Sorry for my cross opinion with you all.

[@xesxblackarrow7912]

Hopefully not locked behind a $5 paywall.

[@Courraff]

What you on about lol

[@travishomewood8657]

Mega mew two will be go fest 2025. 2024 will be arceus. Gigantamax, if they do it will probably start with the kanto or galar starters

[@Ace803YT]

Fantastic video as always Billy. In looking forward to mewtwo mega so I can mega my SHLUNDO lol. Keep up the amazing work and content for everyone to see

[@jonathanvail9643]

I hope they can add more moves to certain pokemon. 1 move is Payday move on Meowth

[@Supertoddy96]

Niantic missed their opportunity to give metagross an even 5555 cp

[@josephrizza8822]

I hope the mega are going to be little easier to catch

[@Weav576]

I think at the very least the Mega Mewtwo Y will atleast carry a 400 attack stat and max out at just over 7,000 CP at lvl 50, with perfect IVs, and mega x will be slightly higher than P Groudon and Kyogre at 6800-6900

[@Blaze-ut5vl]

Me sitting on two hundo Lucario one level 50 and one level 50 hundred percent iv Mewtwo. Bring them I will totally do what I have to to get mega evolve forms yes even the remote raids.

[@holymacr0]

I want mega Mewtwo. As a Kanto fan ill be raiding that all day 😊. I would also love to see the gen 1 starters in mega raids

[@PurpleLugia]

I hope Mega Mewtwo comes soon... so I can finally have my own Mewtwo.

[@mikejones-yg1iw]

I've been playing pokemon go since it started and I've only made 1 trade and it makes me so sad I can't trade its really why I started playing. I remember getting the Gameboy connecter for a early Christmas present it was so awesome trading with my sister we didn't care who we got it was just fun to trade I wish pokemon go was like that somehow

[@Gageyallslayer3838]

I wish i didnt miss mega rayquaza😢 hope it comes back soon

[@Capt-Fueco]

Paradox form pls and ty Niantic z-moves and dynamax would be a bit awkward to transition into pkgo especially dynamax. xd

[@hareonna15]

Still waiting for Dusk Lycanroc. 😞

[@MohamedAhmed-sz3ck]

And what about z move on your arm from alola region you can use a big huge charg attack instead of mega evolve which lasts longer

[@Ragark_]

What about Zeraora? Why is he has been forgotten?

[@davidlewis2430]

The one thing that should be a thought is global trading of Pokemon at least 5 per day. I have best friends around the globe but no money to travel.

[@SharpVortex]

Im so hyped for mega mewtwo

[@-G-M-C-]

Hey Billy, do you have any predictions on when Keldeo might be returning?

[@jkraner9473]

probably next year with unova tour

[@bretwentzel8824]

why are they kyurem forms not either dragon/fire dragon/electric or ice/fire ice/electric i never realized this until today and wow that makes no sense to have the electric or fire abilities accordingly then not be the type of the dragons kyurem forms with??? no other fusion does

[@jonathanvail9643]

Thanks again Billy for theses tips on 2024 and I hope we get theses megas out for 2024

[@apostolosdeslis2021]

What about trading lucky trades with people remotely. I have lucky “friends” from Australia, Chile , etc. that I never going to travel so as to have lucky trade made. I hope some day Niantic will provide this feature.

[@Ditronus.]

I like a lot of the new features they've added this year, but there are some weird decisions being made that show they aren't really listening. Like who cares about Matteo gift exchange? Why waste time on this? You know what would be more helpful? Something as small as a UI tracker on the trade screen showing me how many trades ive done on a particular day. Who prioritizes their workflow and new features?

[@YaBoiRuins]

I think galar starters Beqause it kinda Got introduced in galar so ........ And mby eternatus in elite raid :) + zacian and zamezenta in their powerfull form i forgot the name

[@Bren3669]

they’ve got shadow legendary raids coming in 2024????

[@Rich-g6n]

Wdym by saying mega heracross isnt the best fighting type? Its the absolute best after mega mew2 x

[@lordlucario8828]

i'm calling it now, mega lucario debut in the sinnoh L.A event!!!

[@Rich-g6n]

If mega y gets the same nerf as primals and mega raqu its gonna be ar 7200 max

[@AbsurdExistentialist]

Mega Sableye covers foggy weather! I always thought it would have been cool to make Mega Glalie ice/steel, to cover snowy weather

[@PurpleLugia]

Mega Sableye is coincidence. Niantic doesn't choose what type a Mega-evolved form is; that comes right from the games.

[@AbsurdExistentialist]

@@PurpleLugia I understand this. I was just commenting on the fact that Mega Sableye boosts the same types covered by foggy weather

[@KingSkkzrd]

I thought there was gonna be a shadow hooh raid weekend

[@katiewilliams2729]

I just wish that pokemon go was more solo player friendly and rural player friendly I'm not saying that the features we got this aren't good they just felt to big city friendly and the remote raid changes aren't good but at this point honestly I'm playing more on my main series pokemon games then pokemon go because I'm a solo and free player I've always been a solo player I started playing pokemon go too late to be anything but a solo player

[@Lukecarey-sd2ik]

I’m with you T-club. Gmax is coming! And we all know charizard will probably be the first!

[@DragonSlayer-rd1mh]

I have a 4* mateagross and a lucario so I’m exited 🎉

[@epicbosco]

Here before Niantic messes up in 2024

[@kaylynbauer2252]

For now the only skill based system is GBL. But something else (whether it comes in 2024 or another time) that needs a change/update is the gymming system! Could maybe combine the current and old gyms to give at least a slight challenge but obviously keep it to only one of a species. But even more importantly the amount of coins you get should definitely be relative to how long your defender stays in. There'd obviously be some kind of cap for that too because let's face it, we won't get an insane amount of coins having a mon in a gym that barely gets activity for like over a week or so because that'd be way too tough to implement and if they could i wouldn't expect niantic to allow for it lol. If they allow gigantamax, howd that affect the rank of power compared to megas? I'm not too familiar with gigantamax as I'm more from the 1st gen games as well.

[@pokemongblgamer6429]

I think Niantic add the z move in next year 2024

10:43 Billy i respect the points you made in this regard to in person communities, it’s simply at the point most Pogo players where adults, unless you have kids, most of us are invested in being in a “forced” community with ppl, outside my girlfriend and my friends, I’m not invested in playing with strangers

[@itspapaghost6989]

is there a way to get dragon ascent without the stone?

[@AshMashDashSplash]

No, you need the meteorite

[@Jayveersinh_Raj]

Mewtwo would not get any powerful move anymore, its signature move psystrike is already given to it, Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent is the most powerful signature move, so it is going to stay this was, Mega Rayquaza is the most strongest pokemon in the entire Pokemon Universe after Arceus, and eternamax eternatus.

[@xray8252]

I don't think so. Remember, that dragon ascent was granted to Ray also for evolving - it was more than a signature move. Hence I believe the similar way we will be surprised by the "terms" of Mewtwo Mega-evolution. Mega Rayquaza is taking over that rank1 just for a while for Mewtwo to get some rest and to take it back while mega-evolving to the #1 Pokémon again. We will see, what exactly will happen.

[@Jayveersinh_Raj]

@@xray8252 I am not talking about stats, Mewtwo X and Y might be the number 1 because they can spam Psystrike, read my text again, I said Dragon Ascent is the most powerful signature move by damage number, if you have enough knowledge of pokemon world you can know Mewtwo's signature move is psystrike which it already knows, I did not say that Mega Mewtwo would be weaker than Rayquaze, because Mewtwo can spam psystrike and has insane attack stats. But in main games you cannot spam the moves and abilities play a huge role; in those games Mega Rayquaza with delta stream, dragon dance, and dragon ascent is way more powerful than Mega Mewtwo, but in go sure.

[@xray8252]

​@@Jayveersinh_Raj Ok, so firstly, what you said ("I did not say that Mega Mewtwo would be weaker than Rayquaze") is not a truth at all, cause you said "Mega Rayquaza is the most strongest pokemon", so you did imply, that Mega Mewtwo is weaker, than Mega Rayquaza - read your own text, pls.. Secondly, why U mention "main game series" here, when we talk about PoGo? If you played PoGo, you would know, that pokemon strentgh in PoGo is not always reflecting the "main games series" pokemon strength, so this is kind of irrelevant.

Gigantimax arent very strong and might be useless in pogo. They have increased HP and a special charge move attack. Niantic can make the stats of the charge move be whatever they want.
