  1. Gen 8 has way cooler starters. Gen 9 pokemon have the ugliest designs in all of the pokeverse

  2. I have a suggestion for the creator of this channel. I greatly enjoy your commentary and insight, you are one of my favourite PoGo Youtubers. That said, I never seem to tap "like" on your videos. Often they end abruptly (like this one) and when I want to give it a like, my playlist is already on the next video (I watch youtube on my TV while doing chores, organizing PoGo storage, etc). Could it be that you would benefit from putting an outro song bit, or something that signals the end, so people have time to go back to their phone and like the video before it ends, or even enough time to pause to like it? I think it would be useful to know how your viewers watch your videos so you can increase the likelihood of us liking and sharing etc. I think this channel deserves to grow… I'm not a youtuber, and this is just my opinion anyway. Just my two cents.

  3. Oh No! Since skipped totally Generation 8 pokemon so when Pokemon Festival come in 2025 we has pseudo legendary shiny Frigibax debut at first then Pokemon Festival 2026 we has shiny Dreepy debut.

    Also we has community day for Generation 9 starters then community day for Generation 8 starters.

  4. I caught a 1/15/14 (rank 7) shiny Charmander! Cost me a bit to power up, but I can't wait to use it!

  5. you can also ask why niantic is still banning real players instead of real spoofer i waited 7 days until i got unbanned and i logged into my account and got banned for 31 more days what the fuck is niantic doing

  6. Honestly I think it’s brilliant. Even with gen 8 being my favorite gen (mad about it) BUT it’s a new era for Pokémon with a new protagonist and sprigatito. IF they were smart they know maybe by promoting gen 9 and promoting through the show. With hope it brings people to the game. But this could be thinking too hard since it’s niantic, gamefreak, and the Pokémon company we are talking about

  7. Gigantamax dont base on raid Pokemon Go . Its the Max Raid base on Go raid. The cooperative idea battle VS pokemon. The Director of Game freak talk about it, but its just POGO implants the raid first. And trainers Gigantamax ≠ Dynamax , Gigantamax = Mega Evolution > Gigantamax.

  8. gen 8/9 are shitty pokémon, the names and designs of the pokémon are trash bro, im excited for new pokemon and stuff but im disappointed that ima be forced to catch these pokemon

  9. Always has been, they release alola form when USUM was released, same as galar and now paldea

    Basically promotion

  10. I don’t know how out of all the 70 charmanders I got I didn’t get a single shiny. My brother got 9. I think I’m just unlucky😢

  11. It’s been almost a year since gen 9 released, I doubt this is for gen 9 promotion, it’s too late. Promotion for thé gen 9 dlc maybe

  12. I haven't seen the video yet but I'm guessing it's because they need to figure out how to implement G-Max and Dynamax Forms into the game.

  13. Probably bc of the scarlet and violet dlc coming out in literally 10 days as of this comment
    Just like zarude promoted secrets fO the jungle

  14. Gen 8 starters are almost the worst starters based on design, Gen 9 has one of the best designs

  15. The reason why Gen 9 is coming is cuz of the Scarlet/Violet DLCs. To promote them and grabbing some money

  16. Imagine if it gets broken swipe it would be even more annoying than it is now oh poke u ever played Pokémon showdown?

  17. I hate gigantamax, I still think it is the worst generational gimmick. I hope it doesn’t come to Pokémon go

  18. I think pogo will not get gigamax pokemon. Were getting terraform Pokémon. Pokemon like in S&V will get a terra form, which is an extra typing. I think it's very popular on console.

    Imagine your opponents can't see what terra you have. You pull out dragonite with fighting terra, now you get stab for superpower, while keeping dragon and flying. You will spank steel types, and get the resistance from fighting.

    I didn't care much for sword and shield, it was ok. Violet and scarlet are much better. I have crazy fun with the terra strategy. Just look at the Pokemon in the Seven Star raids. Well that's just my opinion anyways we'll see what happens

  19. I never really saved Stardust I always invested into my Pokemon. I don't have millions of Stardust saved up but I do have millions invested.

  20. I never noticed that they skipped gen 8,actually I was hoping that they would release gen 8 and 9 together

  21. 90% of gen 9 is pretty bad.

    Just skip to Ceruledge, Niantic, which makes up for all the suck gen 9 does.

  22. Also some of these releases ain't solely up to Niantic. Pokémon company controls things here as well

  23. Ive been enjoying diggersby woth scorching sands and fire punch. Having the fire coverage has been nice, plus easy bait. Granted im usually finishing, so baiting isnt as much

  24. Niantic sadly destroyed raiding in my town. After the price hike of raid passes no one is out playing here anymore. If they introduce another form of raid I will be very sad. Hard enough as it is.
