I wish "play together" was more robust - like I wish you could throw a ball and have them fetch it like in Pokemon Camp in SwSh. Still love the feature though :)
Here's a trainer tip to save on some time: "Battle together" with your buddy can be done easily by just entering into one of the 3 NPC trainer battles...and then just leaving immediately. You don't need to complete the battle nor even have your buddy come out at all in the battle, just as long as the buddy is in the battle lineup somewhere, then it counts. My main buddy is my floral crown eevee, btw.
I haven't been playing as much POGO lately, and therefore, not involved as much with this community either. But coming back to this channel is always so awesome. Such a good vibe!
my friend is a feebas and one of the challenges is that i must battle with it like bruh it can't even handle itself to fight a magikarp , what makes you think i can do that
You don't have to use him in battle. Just put him in your party and let your other mons do the heavy lifting. Easiest thing to do is battle Team Leaders.
I really appreciate how thorough you are when it comes to you videos, other youtubers cranking out videos with incorrect information as fact. Like the evolution event where you told ppl not to do max evolution raids right before CD cause you would miss out on the move while other youtubers spazzed out about doing max evolution raids because it can be shiny, In this buddy systen you are able to spin 20 stops to get your pokemon excited New or old, however if you swap your buddy out then back it looses its exciting mood then you will have to spin 20 NEW stops to get it back, I have tested this for 2 days now and also a lot of post on TSR Reddit states the same, it does not have to be 20 new ones the initial time, this is all however still not confirmed by niantic or anyone but there has been multiple threads on reddit with people being able to replicate these steps.
I went to the park with Lucario as my buddy, and spinning a stop I have spun hundreds of times gave me the heart for "Visit A New Place." So, I think if it's new for that buddy, it counts. Maybe that will change, I dunno...
Just discovered this before looking for your video. When I took a pic it was photo bombed by another pokemon! One I did not have....I have it now. Way cool
My Purified Nuzleaf, Pure Girl, is SUPER active, she’s been running around SOOOO much! Once I’m done with her, I’m probably gonna make something like my Groudon my buddy.
When battling with buddies put them last and try not to use them they just have to be in the line up to count as a battle . Can be done with train battles
Can you please make a video that catches people up on the newest changes to Pokémon GO? I haven’t played since the summer and I want to get back into it but I’m kind of lost with all this new stuff.
As someone who works that convention center. You have to go to a convention that uses the space and go out like you are going to smoke and you are there. Not something you can easily get to unless you are coming from within the convention center. Rarely that gate is open during loading for a convention but not a great time to be in that area.
I noticed that you don’t actually have to spin a stop that you haven’t been to to get the visit a new place heart, you just have to spin a gym stop it worked for me twice and I’ve been to those gyms many times before. Still not sure if after spinning the gym with your buddy if you’re able to spin the same gym again
You should see ho oh or Lugia as a buddy. They not only are super huge, (bigger than a mini van) but they fly so high up above the trainer! You can only see their shadow when viewing the trainer close up on the screen and need to zoom all the way out to even see them flying high in the (virtual) sky.
1. Visit a new place is random when you spin a known pokestop as well (not sure if it's 100% if it's a new pokestop) 2. You don't need to use the pokemon in battle to get "Battle Together" I t just needs to be with you on the map
I don't know this for sure, but based off what i've seen to spin a new stop for a heart, it only has to be a new pokestop for your said buddy,(one that they haven't been with you when you spun the stop).
It is much easier to feed the buddy in AR+ mode. The closer you are to the buddy Pokemon the less likely you are likely to miss the berry throw. You also cannot leave a buddy in a Gym. For the "Visit a new place", in my experience it means spinning a Pokestop or Gym that you haven't spun yet while the buddy was on the map with you. Although there is a little bit of a time delay between the action and the heart reward. There are still many bugs and inconsistencies among different players
Quick question, I've got over 70 hearts with my buddy (counted them out, it's actually 126 hearts now), but my buddy still hasn't leveled up to Great Buddy status. Is this a glitch in the game, or is the actual number of hearts needed to level up higher than 70? I ask because a lot of people seem to have this problem too.
I visited a new to me, unspun stop and it didn't count for my buddy. I'm not sure I understand why it didn't work. Other stops I have spun before seemed to count.
Thanks Nick, saw this today and imediately thought, I'll wait for you to explain this whole new buddy system. Sure enough your vid drops! My buddy at the moment is gollet, trying to get the candy to evolve it for my pokedex.
Ok I been testing it. It is just a pokestop you haven't spun that day. Been spinning the stops where I live from way before then. After a few days of playing with my buddy it counts as a newstop. It doesn't work with excited mood until you get a stop you didn't hit prior excited mood. It works. I tried this.
Great video thank you! Question: Must the Pokemon have to be your "active buddy" at the time of a battle and powered up to level 45 status be your walking with you or no advantage? I understand this is all new and this level of friendship has yet to achieved, but do you have any guesses?
I tried to spin 20 unvisited pokesops for the buddy (I have already visited but it counts in the buddy profile for the visiting new places) but it doesn't work so maybe it must have the halo circle on top of the pokestops then it count(?)
Hey Nick, How are U? I'm having a hard time finding potions for me, for that reason I don't battle anymore, do u Have any tip, that would help me get some more potions?
Gyms are doing more healing items now. Also opening gifts from friends is a good way to get more items. I get a lot of Max Potions and Max Revives from gifts.
Thanks! I'm taking more itens from gyms now, but i still feel im not getting Many potions. And most of my friends quit playing so Im not getting Many gifts nos. But thanks again!
The only thing that happens when your buddy isn't fed, is he will no longer be shown on the map. Honestly, this update isn't that fun imo. I'm just gonna keep playing normally and not bother with the buddy side of it 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I hit up a pokestop it gave me a heart for going to a new place then I switched and spun the same pokestop and it gave me another heart for going to a new place
It does not need to be a halo stop to get the "new place". Dunno why it didn't work for you but it works for lots of people. Maybe it has to be your first spin of that stop on that day. You can also get the "new place" at the same stop on the second day. (I only have a few stops near my home)
How have u been feeling lately kid?? U look healthier, and happier. Keep ur head up, find ur way to keep positive. I wish u happy holidays!! Great vid!
I have one question can I have my buddy walking around turn the game off but as I walk around it is still count towards my buddies walk distance like with adventure mode
Who's your buddy Pokémon?
Garchomp
Its going to be Garchomp for sure
Gible
Trainer Tips you are !!!
Riolu, still need those candies
I wish "play together" was more robust - like I wish you could throw a ball and have them fetch it like in Pokemon Camp in SwSh. Still love the feature though :)
That could be a thing someday, who knows?
I was thinking like some Nintendogs type of thing
Eventually
cook curry too
I know you just shake their head
New challenge: Try feeding alolan exeggutor a berry
(I had to stand on a chair)
same i had to lie on my bed and throw that shit at the ceiling to make him eat it
Using just AR and Damn... Its like playinh virtual hoop de lopp

I know took me a minute to figure that out.
I curved ball-berry to my buddy
@@shre6619 really ?
u don't lose berry if you miss
They patched it :C

The best highlight of the video was Nick’s expression, laughing happily at Sandshrew’s walk ^^
My buddy doesn't do that. Why??
Glad you’re back nick
Wailord is my favorite planet to have with me xD
I haven't been playing as much POGO lately, and therefore, not involved as much with this community either. But coming back to this channel is always so awesome. Such a good vibe!
Nice addition to the game. This system might be the way to evolve Sylveon in future.
George The beast
Feels like it’ll be like that
Maybe thats a reason they added this new feature. (sylveon is my favorite eevee evolution)
@@FernandoMolina-fs8oo my favorite is espeon.
@@CommonMe_w That cool :)

You kept saying “Sandrew” and I’m here yelling at my phone “it’s Sand Shrew!” Then I see the nickname LMAO 😂

You don’t even have to win it, I just let my friend win
How did you meet this feebas
@@Bananasforthesoul Theres a quest that gives it i forget the name or it spawns in the wild depending on what the current spawn pools are.
You also play Pokémon GO?? :O you are literally everywhere xD
I love how he talks to the Pokémon 😂 “here eat this berry”
Thanks so much for continuing to make detailed videos about this game. I love your attention to detail. 😁
When I took a picture with my buddy a smeargle photo bombed it
Yeah same
Only way you can catch that Pokemon too I believe
Me, too. Have not been photobombed in ages!
@jj Diah was that after the photobomb? If not I haven't see one at all
@jj Diah yeah smeargle only spawns on the overworld map just after he photobombs you
Hope your feeling well and looking after yourself Nick, have a great Christmas with your family and see you in 2020
@@justbeing7628 yeah but i wont be seeing them idiot
I have watched a lot of pokemon go youtubers and you are my favorite. Thank you for still psting
From what I’ve found, it’s Poke Stops you haven’t spun with that Pokémon as your buddy and that’s the “New Location”
I’ve been hangin’ with Ron Swanson the shiny Stoutland and feelin’ awkward about forcing an all berry vegan diet on him.
This feature is cool. I've wanted this ever since the original buddy system was announced
7:18 is The "How can I get to this Gym and/or PokeStop without breaking the law?" Face. Every Pokemon Go player has experienced this.

I love how excited you are about interacting with your Pokemon. XD It really is awesome!
I had umbreon as my buddy and for some reason he ran away and I couldn't stop laughing
Missed you man. I was so excited about this new feature and knew you'd be too. So glad to see you haning out with your buddy Sandrew ^^.
I was too until it locked up. too bad I can't reload the PREVIOUS version
New haircut is fresh! The way sandrew walks towards you is very cute
I just came back to Go, after a 4 yr hiatus, because of my grandbears; your vid brought me quickly up to speed. Props.
I'm really jealous that you have such good clean weather there now while here in Portugal it's always raining lately and we just had a storm... :(
I went to the park with Lucario as my buddy, and spinning a stop I have spun hundreds of times gave me the heart for "Visit A New Place." So, I think if it's new for that buddy, it counts. Maybe that will change, I dunno...
Kevin Hicks today inspinning my 2 Home Stops and i geht from 0 new stops to over 20 in 2 Hours. Only With 2 stops
Spin the gyms. They're always new,even if it's the same gym
This seems to have been fixed already. That was the case for me too, but since today,.suddenly its properly new stops
Just discovered this before looking for your video. When I took a pic it was photo bombed by another pokemon! One I did not have....I have it now. Way cool
Your just now getting Smergal?
My Purified Nuzleaf, Pure Girl, is SUPER active, she’s been running around SOOOO much!
Once I’m done with her, I’m probably gonna make something like my Groudon my buddy.
Aww Super Cute Watching You Play With Your Buddy 🥰🥰🥰
2:44 i didn't know nick could speak in a higher tone of voice :O
Adventure sync works for building up the km hearts. But I think you have to have your meter active beforehand.
I been using same stop a day now. after short amount of time you can reuse a stop/gym for the heart.
I must say it’s been different without a Trainer Tip vid, even though I’ve kinda strayed from the path of legit 😭
5:59 they finally fixed the giant wait for when you are choosing your team!
When battling with buddies put them last and try not to use them they just have to be in the line up to count as a battle . Can be done with train battles
Nick: Kyogre. Swim here for your berry!
Kyogre: Me swim for a measly berry? Please! I'm legendary!!

Feeding your buddy Pokémon berries is literally Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee! I freakn love this update

Still not sure if after spinning the gym with your buddy if you’re able to spin the same gym again
I'm glad ur back nick I've missed ur videos
Gladdd youre backk nickk. Happy holidays

Yay thanks for the video nick!!!
How do you fix the crashing issue I want a video on that
I havent been able to log in 2 days

If you ran out of berries can your buddy pokemon still earn candy from walking and adventure sync?
Finally I get to watch your conteng again! I'ved miss watching your uploads man!
Does it still track distance for candy when your buddy isn’t fed? I’m a little confused 🤷🏼♂️
Yes it does.
Natster Jam Thanks. I’ve been trying to get Grimer candies for the quest and didn’t want to waste a lot of berries on him.
@@censing3889 Yeah, I use the buddies for candies also, trying to get as many pokedex entries as I can.

U can toss the berries to your buddy. Like tossing a pokeball
Nice catch Nick 👌
how to play with it? when i enter AR mode cannot close to it. You say AR plus is it extra camera mode?
0:33 gotta love Nick's sarcasm
Does the walking distance reset after you swap out buddies for candies?
I hit up a pokestop it gave me a heart for going to a new place then I switched and spun the same pokestop and it gave me another heart for going to a new place
Assuming it just has to be new to that buddy
It does not need to be a halo stop to get the "new place". Dunno why it didn't work for you but it works for lots of people. Maybe it has to be your first spin of that stop on that day.
You can also get the "new place" at the same stop on the second day. (I only have a few stops near my home)
