I never thought the day would come. I figured one day Niantic would close down for good and Nick would suddenly remember too late that he had all that research he forgot to do.
Been missing in action for 5 years and this video made me miss being out of the scene for so long. Also I realized how much I missed watching your vids. Especially these ones where you travel. I was first to 40 in both the areas I played at and now I'm getting ready to start my Pokémon GO adventure again. You are a true inspiration, Nick. Thank you for grinding out all these vids. It can't be easy...now the long road back to get me back into the game. My passion is back. Thank you, sincerely.
Thank you for satiating my OCD by finishing some of these research tasks! Awesome transitions on the train. People undervalue your editorial & cinematic prowess Nick.
Listen to the Tokyo crows - love that you managed to visit (I live out west Tokyo). As I watch the video - just more stuff many visitors don't get to enjoy. Thank you.
Finally! It's been slightly annoying seeing your unclaimed researches knowing that a couple could've stayed to finish them easier or at the same time as other ones.
Amazing. The hardest part to watch was that you didn't even bother putting on a star piece from the very beginning. I kept begging into the void that you would put one on, and you finally did later on. But man, all that precious, "wasted" star dust from the first part of this video... Miss Japan so much. Was living there for a year as an exchange student, and it was one of the best times of my life.
It's really nice to see you in Japan again, Nick. That's probably a good place to open all the research :) The Museum was beautiful, especially in autumn. I hope I can visit it too someday. But looks like work with the research is not done yet... I'm looking forward to part two!
Me too. Family friend was a draughtsman. No lego but I would spend my weekends drawing plans of homes. I love anything prior to 1970 getting excited over differing kickboards, cornices and ceiling roses lol
this was epic!! and tbh i feel better myself lol. always seeing yours and mystic's special research gave me so much anxiety!! glad you're finally getting it done ^_^
I am loving your travel videos again. I love your layback game play, I always seem to stress out while playing or at least try to rush through things. I took a break a while back as I was hard out playing Wizards Unite, but since that game is no longer I came back to PG.
it's interesting seeing the pros and cons of waiting to finish research, like certain pokemon not being a shiny check at the time of research but they are now. i still prefer to clear mine right away and probably always will lmfao
Congratulations! That's a lot of life changes. Just remember - don't drop your kids off in the woods at age 10 with a new pet and tell them to go become a master.
The XP rewards hidden in this research stack would have been a help for you in the race to Level 50, and avoiding Disneyland - I was surprised when it wasn't used to your advantage....
Well, we eat roe so why not.... LOL! I always enjoy your vids. I will have to put that museum on my list to visit when I get to Japan. Would love to chat architecture with you if we ever meet again!
Buddy functionality idea: What if for a certain amount of Km walked with a buddy, the trainer were given the ability to improve the buddy’s IVs by 1? And let’s say the Km needed were based on the rarity of the Pokémon and would multiply by 1.2x each IV gained. For example, based on the eggs the Pokémon hatch from, or the level raid needed for the reward encounter, would determine if you needed 20 (tier1), 30 (tier3), 40 (tier4) or 50Km (tier5) walked for a single IV improvement. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Charmander, they would need to walk 148.832km (round to 149) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Gible, they would need to walk 297.664km (round to 298) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. If a trainer had a 10/15/15 IV Mewtwo, they would need to walk 446.496km (round to 447) with the buddy Pokémon to get to 100% IVs. Pros: - This would make spoofing or radar services less profitable and encourages more gameplay with the same Pokémon. - Entices player to “bond” with a single Pokémon for longer and therefore play the game more often to get the coveted 100% dex. Cons: - All players would have access to the best Pokémon if they walk enough - Pvp players would need to make sure to avoid gaining hearts walking their buddy, or not apply the “bonding” IVs earned. If you can think of any other pros/cons, reply to this comment so we can share our thoughts about the idea and maybe someone at Niantic will pick it up! Ideas welcomed and I’ll update the post accordingly. Side note: Could it be this is why Ash Ketchum’s Pikachu was so powerful? Because Ash built a string relationship with him? Second side note: friend me so we can help each other to lvl50! 6436 8135 6368
It was cool that he went out and showed off japan instead of sitting in a hotel opening them, never watched this dudes videos but they seem pretty cool
It didn't occur to me until watching this video (and Mystic7)'s that ppl aren't completionists and need to finish all the tasks asap. The method to the madness leads to videos like this. I'd be impressed if you were able to find the Dratinis you needed!
Nick! I hope you finished the Litwick Comm Day research. You could've evolved a Lampent and it counts as evolving Litwick. OR you could've gotten a Litwick from Yuri (or any other PoGo trainer in Japan... 😜). Anyway, I'm glad you could come to Japan and enjoy a few days playing PoGo here. I hope to actually meet up with you next time🙏🏻
This is a great video, and I cannot believe you had years of special research to complete! I have to complete them as soon as I get them. Looking forward to part 2.
I loved this Video. I hope that your game play is less laggy now that you finished a few of the research. I hope that you are able to film that next part, part 2 (of I am guessing a 3 part series) soon.
Just a question, but I'm still sitting on the last step of the Deino-research. I've been holding out so that the Hydreigon would get Brutal Swing (which I assumed it wouldn't if I didn't open it during CD hours). Am I correct in thinking that it will have the move if I claim it during the december CD?
this was so incredibly satisfying and also stressful at the same time. i just wanna click all the orange rewards for you!! at least you have some new research to work on. PLEASE do a pt 2 of this!
This video was epic
Hellloooooo
Hello mystic7
its funny how you say it
@MYSTIC7 please do a vid on completing them please 🙏
Bruh mystic with just 6 comments bruh 💀💀💀
New viewers don’t know how crazy it is to see nick finish special research, incredible
Lol true
new viewer here, is there any particular reason why he dosen't claim em? like its free candy, lucky eggs, incense, pokemon, legendaries and etc
@@turtle7190 he simply forgot
That is so true nick and mystic it’s insane
@@turtle7190 He can't be bothered to claim them half the time
Never thought I’d be so satisfied to actually watch Nick start to clear out some of that research stack!? I thought this day would never come
14:23 😅
the niantic server too 7:29
I have a feeling there will be a part 3 as well 😂😂
I never thought the day would come. I figured one day Niantic would close down for good and Nick would suddenly remember too late that he had all that research he forgot to do.
@104_Yash Raj Reddy at thr rate they are going it will be after Hoenn Fest
@Yash Raj Reddy and we never thought he would claim his research any time soon
Nick is always so solid editing-wise, which makes the slight error with music kicking in early at 9:22 a rare treat!
Also noticed. Maybe it was on purpose?
I actually really liked this video.
It's so good to see you finish these research story lines. A good sense of nostalgia.
Thank you. 😊
This is an extremely monumental moment lol
Nick: [surprised there'll be a part 2]
Me: This'll be a 10 part series bro. 😂
Very cool to see that you're finally clearing out your tasks, I always wondered why some people never do this
Woooah, from what I remember of Yuri, her English has improved so much! I'd forgotten all about her, but really cool to see she's still about.
As someone who RUSHES to complete research, this video had me gnawing at my screen. The satisfaction..😅
so glad youre working on completing these, the amount of anxiety i have about it is insane and this makes it better
Been missing in action for 5 years and this video made me miss being out of the scene for so long. Also I realized how much I missed watching your vids. Especially these ones where you travel. I was first to 40 in both the areas I played at and now I'm getting ready to start my Pokémon GO adventure again. You are a true inspiration, Nick. Thank you for grinding out all these vids. It can't be easy...now the long road back to get me back into the game. My passion is back. Thank you, sincerely.
you should do tour guide vids bro. Your passion for new encounters and beautiful buildings shines through
Thank you for satiating my OCD by finishing some of these research tasks! Awesome transitions on the train. People undervalue your editorial & cinematic prowess Nick.
Thank you so much Trainertips we all appreciate everything you do and glad you will continue to post! Thanks from all of us! ❤
Listen to the Tokyo crows - love that you managed to visit (I live out west Tokyo).
As I watch the video - just more stuff many visitors don't get to enjoy. Thank you.
This was amazing, would absolutely watch a Part 2 of this!
Finally! It's been slightly annoying seeing your unclaimed researches knowing that a couple could've stayed to finish them easier or at the same time as other ones.
Amazing. The hardest part to watch was that you didn't even bother putting on a star piece from the very beginning. I kept begging into the void that you would put one on, and you finally did later on. But man, all that precious, "wasted" star dust from the first part of this video...
Miss Japan so much. Was living there for a year as an exchange student, and it was one of the best times of my life.
Is this real? Are you finally finishing those?? This is a historic moment. I can't wait for part II. And III. And maybe IV.
It did kind of hurt me not to see you use a star piece with some of that 🤣
Yay! A fellow building nerd. So envious of that museum visit.
Watching you check these off finally is reducing MY anxiety LOL
This was soooo cathartic. Thank you!!
Oh man I have wanted this video for so long. Looking forward to part 2!
18:10 More of the professor doing whatever that is 😆 🤣 😂 😹
"More of the professor doing... whatever that is 😳" Had me rolling 🤣
Crazy to see this happening! 😂 been following for a long time so this is cool to see.
It's really nice to see you in Japan again, Nick. That's probably a good place to open all the research :)
The Museum was beautiful, especially in autumn. I hope I can visit it too someday.
But looks like work with the research is not done yet... I'm looking forward to part two!
Fun fact, the level 50 unown is random A-Z. I got D, which I didn't have before
Love seeing the architecture museum. I really love classic Japanese architecture.
I love it can't wait for part 2 😁 and i really wish able to get more special research cause they are fun to completing them 👍
Me too. Family friend was a draughtsman. No lego but I would spend my weekends drawing plans of homes. I love anything prior to 1970 getting excited over differing kickboards, cornices and ceiling roses lol
Never thought I'd live to see the day when nick claims his special research. This is a treat.
Very great idea to save them researches for future tasks needed
this was epic!! and tbh i feel better myself lol. always seeing yours and mystic's special research gave me so much anxiety!! glad you're finally getting it done ^_^
Thank you for showing us the beautiful places you travel to. I really enjoyed seeing those buildings. Also it's fun to remember different researches.
That completed tab is gonna be so out of order. I would hate it😭😭
Hilarious! I'm way too OCD to let my research sit unfinished like that.
The moment I see the circle turn orange, I have to clear it. I have trouble even letting encounters stack.
This video footage is gorgeous, thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us!
I am loving your travel videos again. I love your layback game play, I always seem to stress out while playing or at least try to rush through things. I took a break a while back as I was hard out playing Wizards Unite, but since that game is no longer I came back to PG.
Must be awesome to have those cleared FINALLY!
That music crashing in at 9:22 though brother 😂
Omg that food looks so good! I’d love to be able to travel to Japan/Korea/Singapore ❤also love the architecture Museum that looked cool as well.
it's interesting seeing the pros and cons of waiting to finish research, like certain pokemon not being a shiny check at the time of research but they are now. i still prefer to clear mine right away and probably always will lmfao
How can you tell? new to the game still learning
We need a Part 2 and 3❤🎉
Holy shit, Nick is still going... I was here at episode 1. I've got married and had 3 kids since then.
Congrats! Wish you and Nick continued success
Congratulations! That's a lot of life changes.
Just remember - don't drop your kids off in the woods at age 10 with a new pet and tell them to go become a master.
This is very cool... I did the same thing and waited until I was up on top of a mountain in another country to catch my Mew.
When did I miss Archen and Tortuga Shinies being released?! 😂 Great video! Always bugs me when you guys get to the end and then don't claim 😂😂😂
Same
Oh the dopamine from all those orange claim reward buttons 😍
Imagine how much more exp and sd he would have got if he dropped lucky eggs and star pieces for the whole thing
Right
He's probably max level lol
He doesn't need the XP. He's already level 50.
Can I get it now I am new trainer
Yes!!!!! The video I have waited for this one for so Long!
That was satisfying. Haha, looking forward to part 2! Crazy you’ve had those for so long!!
The XP rewards hidden in this research stack would have been a help for you in the race to Level 50, and avoiding Disneyland - I was surprised when it wasn't used to your advantage....
Well, we eat roe so why not.... LOL! I always enjoy your vids. I will have to put that museum on my list to visit when I get to Japan. Would love to chat architecture with you if we ever meet again!
Please continue this! I loved this video, really want it to come back

Pros:
- This would make spoofing or radar services less profitable and encourages more gameplay with the same Pokémon.
- Entices player to “bond” with a single Pokémon for longer and therefore play the game more often to get the coveted 100% dex.
Cons:
- All players would have access to the best Pokémon if they walk enough
- Pvp players would need to make sure to avoid gaining hearts walking their buddy, or not apply the “bonding” IVs earned.
If you can think of any other pros/cons, reply to this comment so we can share our thoughts about the idea and maybe someone at Niantic will pick it up! Ideas welcomed and I’ll update the post accordingly.
Side note:
Could it be this is why Ash Ketchum’s Pikachu was so powerful? Because Ash built a string relationship with him?
Second side note: friend me so we can help each other to lvl50!

Not a bad idea. But it could still be abused with walking apps.
can’t wait for the moment Nick’s binoculars icon isn’t orange anymore!
Incredible video!!! Hit it out of the park every time, Nick!!
This was so fun to watch sir
It was cool that he went out and showed off japan instead of sitting in a hotel opening them, never watched this dudes videos but they seem pretty cool
FINALLY! Bugs my OCD when there is unfinnished stuff lying around!!
It didn't occur to me until watching this video (and Mystic7)'s that ppl aren't completionists and need to finish all the tasks asap.
The method to the madness leads to videos like this. I'd be impressed if you were able to find the Dratinis you needed!
My perfectionist-ass will never be able to keep those special tasks unopened lol
Check out the dude in the background picking out his wedgie at 10:00 😂
Bro on camera😂
I have been waiting YEARS for this. My brain is so happy....
LOL you actually started to clean out. 😂😂
This is video is so peaceful. Great vibes.
All of those research XPs. If you had collected them, you might have won the Level 50 challenge.
Sushi spot, mind blown.
My first time having sushi I got a sample platter that included sea urchin.
Nick! I hope you finished the Litwick Comm Day research. You could've evolved a Lampent and it counts as evolving Litwick. OR you could've gotten a Litwick from Yuri (or any other PoGo trainer in Japan... 😜). Anyway, I'm glad you could come to Japan and enjoy a few days playing PoGo here. I hope to actually meet up with you next time🙏🏻
I'm going to pride myself that there was once a time when I had finished more research than nick.
I had so many unfinished research tasks and I finally opened stuff and finished things, to get the rewards and to help collect points and level up.
I stalled at level 41 for awhile. I’m now stalled at 43, although I have enough XP to get me higher, I just haven’t cared about battling 😂😂😂!
I hope this video blows up Nick it deserves to!
This is a great video, and I cannot believe you had years of special research to complete! I have to complete them as soon as I get them. Looking forward to part 2.
God damn, about time. 4.5 years of being mildly uncomfortable/angry during every video finally done
Love it. Great video. Please part 2
Please Nick, get that part 2 up when it's ready! 🙏🏻
I loved this Video. I hope that your game play is less laggy now that you finished a few of the research. I hope that you are able to film that next part, part 2 (of I am guessing a 3 part series) soon.
FROM WHERE TO GET THAT TSHIRT??
My OCD could never
When is part 2 coming?
This just made 2022 weird. Never thought this day would come.
Finally! Yay ! Hanging for pt 2 now
Go back to Tokyo and do part two. This was great. Or Kiribati! A video from there would be epic!
I WISH I had a special research to do OMG I've done them all
Wish i hadn't googled Shirako lol
To each their own
Still waiting for the part 2
It's so good to see you traveling again
Fish is a really versatile creature isn't it~
I've waited forever for this moment 🤣🤣🤣
Just a question, but I'm still sitting on the last step of the Deino-research. I've been holding out so that the Hydreigon would get Brutal Swing (which I assumed it wouldn't if I didn't open it during CD hours).
Am I correct in thinking that it will have the move if I claim it during the december CD?
shaymin: "I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO FLY IN NEXT YEAR WHY AM I HERE SO EARLY"
Laparas fest was a great trip.
I got to go along with Nick and the gang because his video content was so well done
NICK!!!!!
Why didn’t you ever upload part 2
You can evolve one of the lampents and it would've counted as a evolve a litwick
i never thought id live to see this day, i have been waiting many years for this
this was so incredibly satisfying and also stressful at the same time. i just wanna click all the orange rewards for you!! at least you have some new research to work on. PLEASE do a pt 2 of this!
YAIE Shirako, when you can get someone to taste it before telling them what it is it's just magic
