TACO me too. My local park is a hotspot with 3 pokestops(that's the most we have here) and 20 people go there to play every day. We almost have our first local level 40( they're at 39 and 2.5 million do from level 40)
TACO I'm not such a fan. I've given up on my only local gym because its at a play park. Can't go during the day cos it freaks the pearants out and can't go at night because its full of hoodies. The kids don't want to be social with the 6'2" twenty something alone in the playground for some reason. This is much worse in summer.
Storm of Radiance that Claims the Sky Why? You might as well think what Pokémon you are going to put in the gym before hand. Who powers up their Pokémon before putting one in a gym? That gym was already a level 9 gym you would think a lot of people go there lol.
The dodge glitch he talked about, is that where you successfully dodge a lethal attack but your pokemon gets animation locked into dying again and again despite having lots of hp. Because this happens a lot for me and it is incredibly annoying
Sucks to get sniped but I've noticed how long you take to decide. In the last couple battle clips I'm literally sitting here saying "What are you waiting for?!?! JUST PUT ONE IN"
The only thing they can do atm is to give a time window to put a pokemon in for anyone who was battling the gym when it levels up that earned 30%+ of the prestige to level it up. Another thing they could do is show the prestige live as you fight so you know when to flee from battle to drop your pokemon in.
Nick, you need to read this. There are drone flying laws in New Zealand, you might want to take a look at them. I believe you might need a permit to fly drones in urban areas. Just in case you don't know.
I don't care what the title is you can name it "CLICK BAIT!!!" and I will still happily click it and watch. Keep naming your episodes whatever you want nick. Keep doing what you're doing.
Should have had that kid keep knocking out the bottom poke for you so you could get in! Then it'd be an even more beefed up gym. Where we are gyms have great holding power - it's nice because we have to do enough maintenance to keep it interesting but can still hold 10 gyms without having to commit serious daily time to it :) Cheers!
I loved your shots of Auckland. A lot of people from other parts of NZ think Auckland is a concrete jungle. But your drone shots showed the streets are lined with trees, and some of the random green spaces.
After I spent more than an hour leveling up a gym to level 10 from level 9 filled with Pokémon over 2800 CP. The lowest was 2801, someone came out of nowhere and swiped my spot. Niantic should restrict the a spot to the player who leveled up the gym until they are out of proximity.
micheal white actually they shouldn't limit it to that player until he's out of range because they could just accidentally get out of range if the gps signal is bad. they should give that player like 2 minutes to put a pokemon in before anybody else can
7:03 was pretty awesome. I wonder if the kid was scared that you-d fight him or something? Probably not, with that smile on his face. Everyone seems so nice. This trip has been so much fun to experience through your videos. Such beautiful places. You can tell the more relaxed nature of the trip. Cant wait to see whats next.
MYSTIC7 I'm not interested in competitive battling, and while I want to like the gym aspect of Pokémon Go it seems pointless since that accomplishment will likely last for only a few minutes and my highest level Pokémon doesn't even have 2000 cp.
Mystic taking a subliminal swipe at Nick? lol. Mystic, brother, you're the Justin Bieber of Pokémon Go. Nick is the Kendrick Lamar. No use hating, different fanbase. Peace
Kinda late to say this, but Auckland city center is full of bots and spoofers, partly due to the horrendous cell signal there. I often lose signal just walking among the buildings, and get drifted out whenever I try to fight gyms... It's hopeless, and that's why nobody takes down stacked gyms.
The day Nick finally learns what all us Mystics go through when we power up a gym. ITS A RACE FOR YOUR VERY EXISTENCE TO GET A POKEMON IN AFTER IT HITS LV10. never prestige more than needed (more than 50k is pointless), always know exactly which mon is going in, and tap as fast as possible when you reach 50k! flee, check mark, gym, add, in like 2 sec (or get sniped by dumb bitches) cause others near you have an advantage in not seeing the "you lose" prestige added screen.
Mewing_mew 419 I'm glad I'm not the only one who points this out. And also, the plural form of Pokémon being the same as the singular form. Ughh it's not 'Slowpokes', it's just 'Slowpoke' 😩
at least there's actually someone in the area battling the gym. unlike here in our town that has very active lvl10 gym but no one around!! ive seen it everytime with my girlfriend
this is why it would be good to have a friend that is on a different team. They could knock out people from a level 10 gym for you to train it back up and vice versa.
They really need to extend the grace period for sniping prevention. When you have like 300 Pokemon, it takes a little longer than 10 seconds to pick out a good one for gym defense.
I love how u are social with other people who play the game just at random. This is what Pokémon is suppose to be all about. GETTING OUT and meeting new people with a similar interest and to make relationships because of that.
I was at a level 7 gym all by myself the other day and I leveled it up...someone took my spot. leveled it up again. lost my spot again. I leveled it all the way up to 10 and I never got a Pokemon in the gym. someone was either hacking or hiding but either way I deserved one of those spots. I haven't fought a gym since. this system is broken.
same pinch buddy even it was 7day streak and even i got metal coat today 😄 scizor coming soon for me😘 hopefully i find a high iv and good moveset scyther soon😇
WHATT!! - I missed ya by 2 days!! - Anyways - Welcome to Auckland & I hope you enjoyed your time here in New Zealand. Literally THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH!! 👍👍
Nick you trained more Pokes than necessary, the spot was open for probably 2 or 3 minutes, that's why it was easily taken. You gotta calculate the exact number of Pokes you need to train and then leave the train and place yours
This is what I want to see for pokemon go again this summer. I haven't had a face to face encounter with a player since last july. Nor have I seen an instinct gym over level 4 ever
+xXCameron BratzXx I would love a Porygon to power up my Porygon 2 :( But I agree Igglybuff is bad. After my third I was bored. After my fifth I was mad. I have 7.
So sorry to see people doing that to you, Nick! My son actually called someone out that sniped our spot. She opted to stick around and help us get it to 10. She didn't know how to effectively train a gym for max prestige, but it was the thought that counts.
oh that hill to Albert Park! I walked up there almost every day for five years and it never rrally got easier! It's one of the oldest of the 50 plus volcanoes in Auckland.
i caught a perfect iv horsea from my house :p doesn't sound exciting but i've evolved it up to kingdra with the best moveset, so it's my pride and joy xD until i get a shiny magikarp, anyway...
Gym battle (and some pokemon catching). But that interaction with other players (and some kids skateboarding) just show what it means to play pokemon go. You don't need yelling for people to enjoy your video, mate. Nice! 1 like for you.
that opening gym battle is why I hardly play anymore... You get all set to level up your gym, get destroyed by dodge glitches, and then your spot gets poached. so frustrating
Anyone experienced getting 2 evolution items on their 7 day streak? Got 2 dragon scales yesterday or could it be that the stop that I spun also provided one?
One would had been able to say by now that nick should know that there is not such thing as Team Work in Pokémon Go… only self serves that go for the chance to capitalize on others hard wrk! Still it is good to see that he still have fun never the less! A True and True good Kid!
wow, found this video while browsing through yt and saw that im in the thumbnail. I remember this day and wondered if you were famous or smth. Well thanks for adding me to your vid :)
Does the Silph Road have a mobile app? They really need one. It would be great if you could be out, click on the app, find a nest for a Pokemon you need and get turn-by-turn directions to that nest.
I love the communal aspect of pokemon go, talking with strangers and being friendly, it makes playing the game a whole lot more fun
TACO me too. My local park is a hotspot with 3 pokestops(that's the most we have here) and 20 people go there to play every day. We almost have our first local level 40( they're at 39 and 2.5 million do from level 40)

awh rip
@smiley helen
5AM lol I am 52 so yeah really weird looks sometimes. But I am level 37.5 and working on it everyday.
Lol that face when someone takes your spot at a gym 6:15
At least it was a person physically there XD could have been spoofers
I Hate it when people take your gym spot after you spend a long time training up a gym by yourself! 😡
Here's to hoping a gym rework that deals with that issue actually happens.
I also hate it when you claim a gym, and you go to the next one so you can collect those coins, and they immediately take down that gym you claimed.
Storm of Radiance that Claims the Sky
do you also hate it when it happens to me? 😭
I feel that brotha!
Storm of Radiance that Claims the Sky Why? You might as well think what Pokémon you are going to put in the gym before hand. Who powers up their Pokémon before putting one in a gym? That gym was already a level 9 gym you would think a lot of people go there lol.

I don't care what the title is you can name it "CLICK BAIT!!!" and I will still happily click it and watch. Keep naming your episodes whatever you want nick. Keep doing what you're doing.
Westley Robertson I'd watch it even if it says video or insert click bait video title here or insert random video title here or something
You mean you found someone really battling the gym and it wasn't a spoofer ? Its a miracle.
That is why I have an opposite account from my main one because I've been sniped several times so I kick them off and then add my guy.
I really enjoyed seeing you and the boy battling the gym and being friendly. It was a great change from the interactions that we tend to see.
Nick's vlogs exude such a positive vibe and capture the interconnectedness of the community so well. Keep up the quality work dude.
Once again Nick youve made my day the video is exc. quality & i love to watch everyone interact w you! thanks so much!

I see that you are kickin it old school, living in a van again hahaha! Only Nick and OGs know what I'm talking about.
5:30 the way he skipped that gym fight with the little bit of music, GENIUS!
Bravo! Bravo, Nick, you have done it yet again. . Your editing was tremendously enjoyable : )
After I spent more than an hour leveling up a gym to level 10 from level 9 filled with Pokémon over 2800 CP. The lowest was 2801, someone came out of nowhere and swiped my spot. Niantic should restrict the a spot to the player who leveled up the gym until they are out of proximity.
how does it take u an hour!
was all out of revives and potions, I had to keep using my recents.
micheal white actually they shouldn't limit it to that player until he's out of range because they could just accidentally get out of range if the gps signal is bad. they should give that player like 2 minutes to put a pokemon in before anybody else can
that would work.
micheal white no just git gud
6:11 damn Nick got played!! -0-.
7:03 was pretty awesome. I wonder if the kid was scared that you-d fight him or something? Probably not, with that smile on his face.
Everyone seems so nice.
This trip has been so much fun to experience through your videos. Such beautiful places. You can tell the more relaxed nature of the trip.
Cant wait to see whats next.
Just wanted to say I am enjoying this series. It's entertaining and insightful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Anybody else highkey studying how to battle in gyms properly? Just me? Forsure
nope...I am with you 😁. Also I love your cheerfulness and positivity man. keep it up.
MYSTIC7 ayyy Mystic love your vids🤗
MYSTIC7 I'm not interested in competitive battling, and while I want to like the gym aspect of Pokémon Go it seems pointless since that accomplishment will likely last for only a few minutes and my highest level Pokémon doesn't even have 2000 cp.
Mystic taking a subliminal swipe at Nick? lol. Mystic, brother, you're the Justin Bieber of Pokémon Go. Nick is the Kendrick Lamar. No use hating, different fanbase. Peace
MYSTIC7 me but I learned everything from watching him 4 months ago
Love seeing you out and about. Hanging with skate kids. Battling against little man. Great series of vids man.
S/O to James for that fast internet.

@5:30
that one note sting is HILARIOUS

Pretty much, already got to see 2 of this kinds of gyms for mystic in a lisbon university.
Some of the best videos you have made yet Nick! Well done!
NICK, Im w liver problems & i cant hunt right now. Thank you so much for entertaining us & showing us ur travels. thank u my friend have fun!!!
That face you made when "merylmerr" took your spot brought back memories from when I used to play Ingress "It was you!" xD
With someone on the opposite team there, I would have bribed them to kick someone out for you to boost again haha. You deserved a spot!
That's what he should've done, because in the end it was the person who sniped him on the bottom anyway.
Such a beautiful city. Added to my travel list.
Pokemon Go, making you eye everyone suspiciously when your spot in the gym is taken
Who still hasn't gotten unknown yet??
at this rate i'll never find an Unown :\
Unown doesn't have a gender.
Mewing_mew 419 I'm glad I'm not the only one who points this out. And also, the plural form of Pokémon being the same as the singular form. Ughh it's not 'Slowpokes', it's just 'Slowpoke' 😩
Yakuza Sky Still not helping us find an Unown 😆😅
Shinobi Kowai whats unknown
Nick, what was pretty cool was when you interacted with other random people battling gyms. I'd like to see more of that even back in California!
Ahh the original gym battle music 🎶 always hum it to myself when I'm battling gyms
love the music and the view when you use your drone when you battle the gyms
Nick is honestly the coolest dude out here man
hands down best part of Pokemon Go, meeting people also playing
Actually pretty excited about that van-thing! Keep it up and have a good time living the vanlife ;)
I like that you're loving NZ so far nick! Make sure to soak in as much country as you can, I think you'll love the beaches here. Keep it up :)
Nick seems to be having an awesome time! Loving this New Zealand section of the trip :)
at least there's actually someone in the area battling the gym. unlike here in our town that has very active lvl10 gym but no one around!! ive seen it everytime with my girlfriend
Nice video Nick. I've been on and off Pokemon Go but your videos make me want to go back to it
That was a cool video man. Love you for keeping the kids in. Keep posting.
Wow, this Australia trip is so goddamn interesting, you should travel more often! Especially with the trailer your vlogs have become 10 X interesting
Frickfracktic Baby he is in New Zealand. Different country.
I know. I was talking about the Australian part of his adventure smh
I love how you were still really nice towards the kids at the end even though they were being lowkey annoying!
Awesome video! Love seeing you take these trips
Awesome nick great video and editing again!
this is why it would be good to have a friend that is on a different team. They could knock out people from a level 10 gym for you to train it back up and vice versa.
always be prepared before you go into a gym, Nick.
Power Up first before battling the Gym!
Love watching your vids Nick!
This one was great.
Recently snagged a normally priced go plus and it helps out so much.
I'm hoping Juan makes an appearance sometime before the end of the year.
They really need to extend the grace period for sniping prevention. When you have like 300 Pokemon, it takes a little longer than 10 seconds to pick out a good one for gym defense.
how did u get the ying yang symbol on snorlax i love it
I love how u are social with other people who play the game just at random. This is what Pokémon is suppose to be all about. GETTING OUT and meeting new people with a similar interest and to make relationships because of that.
I was at a level 7 gym all by myself the other day and I leveled it up...someone took my spot. leveled it up again. lost my spot again. I leveled it all the way up to 10 and I never got a Pokemon in the gym. someone was either hacking or hiding but either way I deserved one of those spots. I haven't fought a gym since. this system is broken.
This is why I avoid levelling up any gym for mystic besides 1-2 times.
This is the lag I experience just in Ontario Canada. Kinda nice to see it represented on the channel lol makes me feel less crazy
He rented a freakin' RV?! This is awesome. I cant wait to see tomorrows vid!
James is the real MVP!
6:20 😂😂😂OMG I'm dying at the call out!!!😂😂😂 Merylmerr!!! 💯💯💯💙💙💙Nick! 👍😎🍺🍻🍺
The face he made when she took his place was priceless. I laughed, felt bad, then laughed again.
same pinch buddy even it was 7day streak and even i got metal coat today 😄 scizor coming soon for me😘 hopefully i find a high iv and good moveset scyther soon😇
There was a flareon in the wild, and he ignored it! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Nick's gonna live in a van... down by the river!
Yeah, living in a van would be a great advantage to have for taking down gyms lol.
7:06 THIS is what Niantic wanted. THIS was the sole purpose of making Pokemon Go.
WHATT!! - I missed ya by 2 days!! - Anyways - Welcome to Auckland & I hope you enjoyed your time here in New Zealand. Literally THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH!! 👍👍
Nick you trained more Pokes than necessary, the spot was open for probably 2 or 3 minutes, that's why it was easily taken. You gotta calculate the exact number of Pokes you need to train and then leave the train and place yours
EXCELLENT as always ! Thanks Nick :)
This is what I want to see for pokemon go again this summer. I haven't had a face to face encounter with a player since last july. Nor have I seen an instinct gym over level 4 ever
Auckland seen like a beautiful place
its okay but compared to the rest of New Zealand its nothing special haha
Yesterday I hatched 3 eggs, one being a Krabby, another being Igglybuff, and another being a Porygon. I mean, I can't complain for the Krabby ;)
+xXCameron BratzXx I would love a Porygon to power up my Porygon 2 :(
But I agree Igglybuff is bad. After my third I was bored. After my fifth I was mad. I have 7.
JJJ I like igglybuff I was actually mad about the krabby :P
JJJ I'll trade you a porygon for an igglybuff. I have yet to catch one^^
fang k my username is minecraftplaer6
fang I've also got a Pichu and Cleffa I'm willing to trade
So glad your are leaving Auckland! :D Have fun! :)
Well, you should've have it prepared ahead of time. You only get like 30 seconds for your reserve spot.
So sorry to see people doing that to you, Nick! My son actually called someone out that sniped our spot. She opted to stick around and help us get it to 10. She didn't know how to effectively train a gym for max prestige, but it was the thought that counts.
6:21 Yellow Shirt Instinct Gym 100% Guilty. IT WAS YOU
oh that hill to Albert Park! I walked up there almost every day for five years and it never rrally got easier! It's one of the oldest of the 50 plus volcanoes in Auckland.
To this day i have yet to catch or hatch a Pokémon with perfect IVs.
Same. 97.7% is my highest, Victreebel.
That's pretty up there. My highest is a 93% Rhydon...how exciting :/
GabeSerrano i got perfect eggxecute, it would be more perfect if the evolution skill it got was better
Never hatched one but caught a perfect eevee.
i caught a perfect iv horsea from my house :p doesn't sound exciting but i've evolved it up to kingdra with the best moveset, so it's my pride and joy xD until i get a shiny magikarp, anyway...
Gym battle (and some pokemon catching). But that interaction with other players (and some kids skateboarding) just show what it means to play pokemon go. You don't need yelling for people to enjoy your video, mate. Nice! 1 like for you.
im at home winding down b4 sleep... and then that face @ 6:16 shows up. The feels,,, and LOL.
That's the closest thing to 1v1 battling that we have so far.
Glad you are enjoying your time overseas!
fun fact:
the road near Albert Park was used in the movie Yogi Bear
that opening gym battle is why I hardly play anymore... You get all set to level up your gym, get destroyed by dodge glitches, and then your spot gets poached. so frustrating
Last time I was this early, Pokemon Go had only Gen 1 Pokemon
Sooo is this the Video of Friday or Saturday? Do we get another one today or do u take the weekend of?
'dat face when you realize you got gym-jacked... Priceless ! :D
Anyone experienced getting 2 evolution items on their 7 day streak? Got 2 dragon scales yesterday or could it be that the stop that I spun also provided one?
Dude it is my favourite Video so far :D
One would had been able to say by now that nick should know that there is not such thing as Team Work in Pokémon Go… only self serves that go for the chance to capitalize on others hard wrk! Still it is good to see that he still have fun never the less! A True and True good Kid!
wow, found this video while browsing through yt and saw that im in the thumbnail. I remember this day and wondered if you were famous or smth. Well thanks for adding me to your vid :)
Does the Silph Road have a mobile app? They really need one. It would be great if you could be out, click on the app, find a nest for a Pokemon you need and get turn-by-turn directions to that nest.
Just pledged to your patreon Nick! Always enjoying your content. Showing some love from Montreal!!!
When other skaters approach you during your VLOG is there a secret handshake? Be safe! loved the vid
Just a question: how do you keep track of the Pokémon you put in a gym? Any tricks? I loose track when having a lot of them.
There really needs to be a same team battle winner priority mechanic when training gyms.
Skater kids were awesome!! You are so brave to drive in a country on the wrong side of the road!
