would literally love a weekly podcast with you + another creator / top player getting their different mindsets and able to finally see the personal / human side to everyone would be a fresh direction to the channel too! i’ve literally always been looking for a good pokémon go podcast to listen to on my commute to school so this is PERFECT thanks PokeDaxi + Brandon!!!
You should check out GOCast! It’s my favorite PoGo podcast. The hosts have great chemistry, it’s family friendly, and high quality. If you’re looking for more interview-style podcasts, As The Pokeball Turns is a weekly interview with well-known and lesser well-known trainers.
I enjoyed the interview, especially hearing so many opinions from a full time grinder of a player. I am 52 and didn't even really understand the history of pokemon other than buying my son the games when he was young. In 2016 we started playing as a family when my son was 12 and pretty soon I pulled way ahead in experience, most because I was able to raid with the community after work in the early AM. I stopped playing off and on but still playing with the family during some events even as my son has his own full time career now. To this day, I still do not really know the in depth weakness and effectiveness of each pokemon, but it is still fun. The only regret I have with my character is how much stardust I wasted over the years not fully understanding the value vs reward. My favorite memories are the early days when we traveled in packs to raid with local players, none of whom we even see or talk to anymore, except for exchanging the occasional postcard in-game. P.S. - Still Lvl 44 and probably will never hit 50, but it doesn't matter as much as it did when we raced to 40 as a family
I agree with BrandonTan91 that the number of remote raids should be limited to 5 per day, but the price should not be increased. They can keep the price the same as the premium battle pass and limit it to 5 remote raids a day.
How does that make sense tho? You're paying for CONVENIENCE. I spend more money on Gas playing the game than I do remote raiding even at the current ridiculous price. Should be 50 coins a green pass and 100 for a remote, with half rewards+balls for remote.
Yeah as rural player im fine with limited remote, but then again price going double was killing blow. like 3xl candy on local raids is prob lot more impact today raiding than remote nerf itself why people do local raids again.
I agree that the remote raid price is too much, but making it the same as the normal premium pass isn't good either because you are still paying for the fact that you can raid from anywhere without the inconvenience of going to the gyms in person. My personal opinion is that Niantic should make the remote raid pass cost 150 pokecoins instead of 195 and make the bundle of 3 cost 400 or 425.
Wow 🤩 I loved it!!! What you just did was super cool. Well elaborated questions and the entire interview was so entertaining, informative and also fun. I honestly loved the two of you. So down to earth 🌎 and fun. Much appreciated and please continue doing what you are doing because you are doing great !! 😊 From Palm Springs, CA & our Coachella Valley PoGo Community. Let’s Go !!!
Great interview, and it's SOOOOOOOOO good to hear a prominent PoGo gamer bring up the business and community side of the remote raids. I do remote raid a lot, but at the same time I'm not upset that they were nerfed because the whole point of the game is to GO OUT and play. I get that there are still some people who are limited to their playing time and availability, but that's just the way things are with gaming.
I have been aware of Brandon's existence, but have not watched more than a combined few minutes of his videos. Thank you for an amazing interview with loads of excellent questions and responses. This is rather eye-opening. I'd be interested in someone interviewing PoleDaxi and asking him similar questions.
This Videos was very grounded, positive and intellectual. It highlighted many things that players forget to realise. Thank you both for voicing this 🤝 I had the privilege to meet both of you in London and in Barcelona. And i can vouch that you two are awesome guys 😃👍 And Brandon's mission to revive and motivate communities is something that i personally as an ambassador values and admire a lot. Again, Very good video! 👍
Great to see this. I listen ot a lot of interviews/podcasts from people who play the game or who really in to it. Was a great start to something amazing I believe! MORE MORE MORE of this!
I swam out into Clearwater Marina to catch a Corsola. I saw it spawn while we were on a boat, and refused to lose it. I still have that Corsola. It's name is Carolus.
This was pretty fun, id defninitely watch more of these in the background while im doing desk work and such. Cool to see a chill talk session with you and brandon!
I live in a big city, and yet, its still hard to get people to join in person raids. (outside of scheduled events with our group in campfire). I am a father of 2 young boys, I usually can't make it to those meet ups. So to raid, I have to hope I can time one with the Pokegenie queue during lunch, or on the way somewhere for errands to do in person raids. In the last year, I have had people join me in person at a raid (outside of those scheduled meet ups) three or four times.
Same here in Madison, WI. There’s a community that plays, but I have trouble with raids because I don’t drive and I’m busy so 97% of the time, I can’t join raids unless a big event is going on. And then when I AM free, no one else is
Thank you for making this video. I wasn't a fan of Brandon due to his band a few yrs back. But listening to him speak about pokemon, his thoughts, and most importantly, the work he is now doing with communities, I am now a fan of his! Also, can you both come to Minnesota???
one feature i believe should be added is there should be a counter when you trade that shows how many trades you have left for the day. it would be so nice!
That's such a great memory. I can tell you exactly where I got my first Lapras in the small town I lived in when the game came out. I still have Flappi lol.
Thank you Dax for hosting such a wonderful and quite informative interview with BT91. I was really amazed at hearing how Brandon sits with Community Ambassadors to help them grow their PoGo Communities, he’s a man with a lot of knowledge. I’ve heard quite often that Brandon is a very down to earth person and here in this interview it is truly apparent why he’s favored by many!!! Listening to this has given me some things to think about on how I play the game and what I need to succeed. Thank you again for this feed and it would be great if you continued with more of this type videos…there’s just so much to learn in this game !
Amazing that you got an interview with Brandon Tan! Love it Daxi. You’ve come a long way, and I’ve loved how the go tuber community has supported your growth over the years. I’d love to see more content like this!
As someone who has improved alot of their gameplay over the years through several content creators tips, tricks, and advice, I absolutely loved this content. Would definitely love to see this as a series! Very novel content and unique perspective not just of creators but also intriguing questions too.
I was hesitant to watch this, but this was well done. For some reason, I thought this would have a ton of cringe answers/questions, but I was surprised. You did a phenomenal job. Looking forward to more insights from other top tier trainers/creators.
I live in Australia Melbourne. BT droppped in. Theres too much good stuff to say. His idea is working. I've been inspired and found love for the game through BT's efforts to get our communities together.. I attended each meet up and youll see me in his videos..Alone... as thats how its been since i started playing POGO last year. I had a blast being around a group raiding and meeting ppl and would much prefer to raid in person than remote raid from my couch. I can honestly say that if you ever hear of BT or anyone who streams, makes content to do with POGO and get the chance to go out to meet them.. DOOOOO ITTTT!
Very in-depth, profound discussion, lots of eye opening insight into the mechanics of the game. Remote raids opened availability to disabled players who can't chase over to a Gym. Well done video! Great that Brandon is focusing on Community growth. Bottom line comment: play the game as you most enjoy, focusing on aspect that makes you happy. Thank you!
Have never watched either of you before. This was such a good thoughtful interview and was interesting to hear Brandon's views on the remote raid nerf which I agree with. One of the pandemic features I'd like to see return is remote trading. Even a one off unlimited distance trade maybe once a month or something like that. I have international lucky friends that I still raid with so won't delete them but it would be nice to get the trade done.
great video, excited to see more of this. I met Brandon at one of the community events in Santa Clara! Such an amazing human. I’m a newer player, I downloaded the game when it first came out but stopped playing and then came back to it in 2019. I will say one of the things I love about the game is the community, like this games has multigenerational families come out and play and that’s beautiful.
Brandon, while you may not be the #1 player in terms of xp anymore, you will always be the #1 player for us. Thank you for keeping this game alive with what you are doing for the communities, I'm sure that's helping this game in a way.
This is great. Daxi's a natural podcaster :-) It helps that Brandon is a gem of a human being, but I'm sure this could be the start of a great series of podcasts with other PoGo players/creators.
"The only person you should be competing with is yourself" - 29:40 Wise words said by brandon, I agree so much with him on the point that there isn't a best player on the game, considering that not every one has the same objectives.
That is the mindset I have, which is fortuitous because I’m the only one who plays consistently in my area. There are a couple of people who live close by who play occasionally but I’ve never (knowingly) seen them. Last summer, I saw a group of kids playing it, all lower levels, it was obvious they were playing but I felt I couldn’t approach them. I’m a female but I’m not buying the false accusation ‘predator’ being flung at me on a whim. I think Nerfantic really live in their own little Frisco bubble and don’t understand how the real world works.
Nice, shout out to Yama-san. I agree. He's not as hard core since his peak but he is the most well rounded player I know. Technically the only factor he would be lacking in would be travel.
You are always welcome to come visit the latam comunities. We are from Honduras and we hope Niantic could at least recognize more latam comunities in their community program and not just a few countries.
Dude Dax, I’m telling you. Create a series of turning a rural No-PoGo place into a PoGo hotspot. Po-Go is one of the only games where you completely change you experience by nominating stop & understand the qualifications for gyms. Honestly, just going to keep commenting this on all your videos till you respond lol.
Very clean setup, high production value really enjoyable. Alot of interesting things to take with oneself, atleast for me. Would love to hear/see simular interviews from other creators for sure!
The discussion you had regarding the number of events is an interesting one. The fact they last a week or so isn't bad. It gives you the choice to play or not. But the one thing that bothers me about all of the events is that when you travel to another country, the event spawns hide all of the regionals. I went to London once and was searching for the red oricorio. I was only able to find 1 throughout my week long trip. I think routes help with this now, but I don't think they should reduce regionals from the event spawn pool.
i love your innovativeness when it comes to coming up with new content! it's like a podcast, would love to see more interviews with different pokemon go players from around the world to get to know them, their habits, motivations, etc :)
I am a cancer patient & rely on remote raids. Many friends are in Japan, Canada, the UK & Norway. There is one gym & one pokestop in my immediate neighborhood. I love the game, my friends & I talk about the game on social media. Community is different for seriously ill or disabled people. My Oncologist doesn’t want me around crowds of people.
I have to be honest… I did not have a lot of respect for Brandon Tan, but thanks to this video I respect him a lot more. Also learned a couple of things (like equator distance and spawns). Thank you, and thank you, Brandon Tan.
At the Shinnon tour LA, there was a Verizon mobile antenna truck by the gate at the golf course side. I think that helps with the connection. I was glad that they were able to got the equipment back up from the mobile company
i clicked on this thinking it was a colin and samir video and thought it was weird that Brandon Tan was on it. i figured that was the style you were going for :) awesome video
🎉BRANDON IS THE BEST PLAYER. he has traveled to more communities than anyone else and is doing more for this game than any other player. This game is so easy for him, that hes doing other moves. Much love brandon ❤️
28:55 As someone who uses wayfarer, I can confirm that the platform isn't what it used to be. People are misusing it. I've seen countless legit submissions getting rejected because of misusing most likely as Niantic specifically states that the "community" decides to not accept a submission. I'm also experiencing this kind of bad experience (out of like 20 totally legit submissions over the last 2 years or so, only like 5 got accepted). So I wouldn't suggest that to people (even if it's the only thing allowing the creation of stops), as I fear that there are people who purposely rejects everything
I understand Brandon’s perspective on Remote Raids, but I’ll counter with this: if the game is not meant for everyone, then Niantic needs to improve the game in a way that retains the player base they are courting. When the Pandemic hit, Niantic leaned on Remote Raids as their BIG new feature to keep the game afloat. That worked, but Niantic unfortunately continued to lean on remote raids as their big feature well after the pandemic. When they nerfed remote raids, they didn’t introduce a BIG new feature to focus gameplay. Instead, they introduced small features like routes (which were hindered by bans to both Wayfarer AND PoGo accounts for bad submissions). Now they’re introducing a bunch of QOL updates, but that’s a little too late. They need another BIG feature that will keep people playing the game and interacting with their local community. If they want to make money but also court community in a very specific way, the game HAS to improve. Not just small improvements, but leaps and bounds improvements. That includes how they handle events (making a Global event free but locking all the perks behind $15 pay walls is not enticing).
Remote raid passes opinion: At 55 yo, I signed up in 2016, the 1st week for my 4 grandsons, without phones. In 2020 my oldest grandson went to college. Because of remotes, I can stay in touch and play with him. It's was awesome. Pokemon community isnt just strangers....pokemon is keeping families together playing. Now I have all my intermediate families playing. My family is a pokemon family. Without remotes that would never happened. And winter weather is another reason. It can be dangerous.
When ULTRA Necrazma comes to the game It should have an ability like the new origin legendarys where you can use ultra wormhole as a remote raid pass- on a long cooldown obviously
As someone living in a "rural town" playing with my son (7 years old).. I would love it we could go to a specific raid being up. Right now that would be Kartana.. And then remotely join a kartana raid lobby somewhere else USING a NORMAL raid pass instead of a remote raid pass.. Because we dont have anyone to play with in our area, but this would encourage people in these areas to actually go out to the POI's and actually be able to take down a raid without others being there.. Because who knows? there might be more people like my son and I but we dont necessarily know how to find out if we exist... I think this chance would bring more out to the gyms because often people in rural areas wont even attempt to go because the odds of anyone else being there is so darn low that you would go there in vein.. If you could join another lobby using a normal pass, for being present.. i think that would greatly improve the rural experience
The only thing that I don't like is the price. keep the price the same but have a limit. 5 is just not enough for people to get enough XLs when a raid is only available for 7 days with 5 raids limit. 10 is better even though it's far from enough.
@oneonone8855 I've always said this. I haven't purched a remote pass since purely because of the price. But they did offer extra xl for in person raids too just to give us something extra at least. 140 remote raids a month is still a hefty amount. But the price for me they did this during a time where they were constantly accused of cash grabs. For example the galarian mr mime in research.
What did you think of this? Would you like to see more of these interviews with high level players/creators

This is what i love about his channel! Innovative content and not just normal pogo event details. I LOVE IT BRO
would literally love a weekly podcast with you + another creator / top player getting their different mindsets and able to finally see the personal / human side to everyone would be a fresh direction to the channel too!
i’ve literally always been looking for a good pokémon go podcast to listen to on my commute to school so this is PERFECT
thanks PokeDaxi + Brandon!!!
You should check out GOCast! It’s my favorite PoGo podcast. The hosts have great chemistry, it’s family friendly, and high quality. If you’re looking for more interview-style podcasts, As The Pokeball Turns is a weekly interview with well-known and lesser well-known trainers.
Great to see this feedback - ill see if I can find a way to make it that consistent and high quality
Please do with some Community too 🔥
That's the best part about the interview format. It allows people to get an inside perspective and human side of players.
I enjoyed the interview, especially hearing so many opinions from a full time grinder of a player. I am 52 and didn't even really understand the history of pokemon other than buying my son the games when he was young. In 2016 we started playing as a family when my son was 12 and pretty soon I pulled way ahead in experience, most because I was able to raid with the community after work in the early AM.
I stopped playing off and on but still playing with the family during some events even as my son has his own full time career now. To this day, I still do not really know the in depth weakness and effectiveness of each pokemon, but it is still fun. The only regret I have with my character is how much stardust I wasted over the years not fully understanding the value vs reward. My favorite memories are the early days when we traveled in packs to raid with local players, none of whom we even see or talk to anymore, except for exchanging the occasional postcard in-game.
P.S. - Still Lvl 44 and probably will never hit 50, but it doesn't matter as much as it did when we raced to 40 as a family
Man I love this, Brandon is really grounded even more in this video, it’s nice to hear his opinion and stories about the game
I agree with BrandonTan91 that the number of remote raids should be limited to 5 per day, but the price should not be increased. They can keep the price the same as the premium battle pass and limit it to 5 remote raids a day.
How does that make sense tho? You're paying for CONVENIENCE. I spend more money on Gas playing the game than I do remote raiding even at the current ridiculous price.
Should be 50 coins a green pass and 100 for a remote, with half rewards+balls for remote.
naw the balls and items should stay the same as it is more balls and rewards for in person oh and guaranteed xl candies
Yeah as rural player im fine with limited remote, but then again price going double was killing blow. like 3xl candy on local raids is prob lot more impact today raiding than remote nerf itself why people do local raids again.
Ten remote raids a day, 100 coins per remote pass, and we should already get guaranteed xl rare candy
I agree that the remote raid price is too much, but making it the same as the normal premium pass isn't good either because you are still paying for the fact that you can raid from anywhere without the inconvenience of going to the gyms in person. My personal opinion is that Niantic should make the remote raid pass cost 150 pokecoins instead of 195 and make the bundle of 3 cost 400 or 425.
RELEASE THE BLOOPERS!!!!

Another banger vid Daxi. You really asked some good questions that Im sure other people were wondering about. This is the best one yet
I freaking love Brandon!!
I love how good these questions are and how Daxi gives plenty of room for Brandon to talk. That is an underrated skill and Daxi nails it.
This Videos was very grounded, positive and intellectual.
It highlighted many things that players forget to realise.
Thank you both for voicing this 🤝

Nice to mention the Philippines Brandon, yeah we have slow internet but we play for us to enjoy. 😊

I’ve travelled to Cardiff (capital city of Wales, UK) especially looking to find someone to raid with. I found ‘nobody!’
They might as well, not even put the shadow Mewtwo in the raids around here. They just sit there and expire. Nobody around here does them.
Same here in Madison, WI. There’s a community that plays, but I have trouble with raids because I don’t drive and I’m busy so 97% of the time, I can’t join raids unless a big event is going on. And then when I AM free, no one else is

@Mimihuynh01 sorry I meant banned. 😅
one feature i believe should be added is there should be a counter when you trade that shows how many trades you have left for the day. it would be so nice!
That's such a great memory. I can tell you exactly where I got my first Lapras in the small town I lived in when the game came out. I still have Flappi lol.
I got my first lapras at 3 a.m. at this hotspot at a local park. I was just about to close the game and drag myself home, then boom. Lapras popped up.

That’s crazy he shouts out my hometown! Stockton is decent size but I’d never think he would know of it due to Pokémon go!
I reckon do all types of interviews. Top tier like Brandon then do above average then average.or do city player interviews to rural
I am a cancer patient & rely on remote raids. Many friends are in Japan, Canada, the UK & Norway. There is one gym & one pokestop in my immediate neighborhood. I love the game, my friends & I talk about the game on social media. Community is different for seriously ill or disabled people. My Oncologist doesn’t want me around crowds of people.
Excellent new content idea!!! Well done Daxi 👌
Loved this!!! Great interview! I'd definitely like to see more interviews!
This is great. Going to watch this in full later tonight
I have to be honest… I did not have a lot of respect for Brandon Tan, but thanks to this video I respect him a lot more. Also learned a couple of things (like equator distance and spawns). Thank you, and thank you, Brandon Tan.
Great Interview. Thank you.
At the Shinnon tour LA, there was a Verizon mobile antenna truck by the gate at the golf course side. I think that helps with the connection. I was glad that they were able to got the equipment back up from the mobile company
We still have an influx of players in my local group since Brandon came to visit us during the Shadow mew2 event.
Excellent interview! Hope both of you guys come to play with the biggest community in the world! I believe only Nick has come so far
Love brandon's logic. Just like the cost of living idea. I agree with this model for the longevity of the game instead of short term.
Wow! What a wonderful, insightful, entertaining interview on behalf of both you and Brandon! This is the best I’ve watched! Very well done!
0:07 we already know what pokemon it was 😂😂
Nope.. I didn't get it wht was it??
What was it?
It was a pidgey @@Tehkuto
yea
@@Pokegamer413 oh
This was a great idea that I’m surprised hasn’t been done yet.
i clicked on this thinking it was a colin and samir video and thought it was weird that Brandon Tan was on it. i figured that was the style you were going for :) awesome video
Brandon making it all around the world even to Poke Daxi's 😊
awesome, thanks for doing this with him! very interesting stuff
Nice! 🙂 Impressive! Have a really nice day everyone everywhere!
So glad daxi is humble and appreciative of his platform and status. Must be dope to have traveled the world just from a game!! You the goat Dax ong 🐐
🎉BRANDON IS THE BEST PLAYER. he has traveled to more communities than anyone else and is doing more for this game than any other player. This game is so easy for him, that hes doing other moves. Much love brandon ❤️
Niantic should be paying him. What a great ambassador for the game
This was great. Please give us more of this type of content if possible
He is a true ambassador of the game. Respect!
28:55 As someone who uses wayfarer, I can confirm that the platform isn't what it used to be. People are misusing it. I've seen countless legit submissions getting rejected because of misusing most likely as Niantic specifically states that the "community" decides to not accept a submission. I'm also experiencing this kind of bad experience (out of like 20 totally legit submissions over the last 2 years or so, only like 5 got accepted). So I wouldn't suggest that to people (even if it's the only thing allowing the creation of stops), as I fear that there are people who purposely rejects everything
As a player in Singapore, i absolutely HATE the gym system especially how much it favors the cheaters with multiple accounts.
This was awesome plz keep doing more of them
I understand Brandon’s perspective on Remote Raids, but I’ll counter with this: if the game is not meant for everyone, then Niantic needs to improve the game in a way that retains the player base they are courting.
When the Pandemic hit, Niantic leaned on Remote Raids as their BIG new feature to keep the game afloat. That worked, but Niantic unfortunately continued to lean on remote raids as their big feature well after the pandemic. When they nerfed remote raids, they didn’t introduce a BIG new feature to focus gameplay. Instead, they introduced small features like routes (which were hindered by bans to both Wayfarer AND PoGo accounts for bad submissions). Now they’re introducing a bunch of QOL updates, but that’s a little too late. They need another BIG feature that will keep people playing the game and interacting with their local community.
If they want to make money but also court community in a very specific way, the game HAS to improve. Not just small improvements, but leaps and bounds improvements. That includes how they handle events (making a Global event free but locking all the perks behind $15 pay walls is not enticing).
This is really good. Love this video
Remote raid passes opinion: At 55 yo, I signed up in 2016, the 1st week for my 4 grandsons, without phones. In 2020 my oldest grandson went to college. Because of remotes, I can stay in touch and play with him. It's was awesome. Pokemon community isnt just strangers....pokemon is keeping families together playing. Now I have all my intermediate families playing. My family is a pokemon family. Without remotes that would never happened. And winter weather is another reason. It can be dangerous.
Very interesting content, thank you both!
When ULTRA Necrazma comes to the game It should have an ability like the new origin legendarys where you can use ultra wormhole as a remote raid pass- on a long cooldown obviously
I loved it! Great interview and great guy!
As someone living in a "rural town" playing with my son (7 years old).. I would love it we could go to a specific raid being up. Right now that would be Kartana.. And then remotely join a kartana raid lobby somewhere else USING a NORMAL raid pass instead of a remote raid pass.. Because we dont have anyone to play with in our area, but this would encourage people in these areas to actually go out to the POI's and actually be able to take down a raid without others being there.. Because who knows? there might be more people like my son and I but we dont necessarily know how to find out if we exist... I think this chance would bring more out to the gyms because often people in rural areas wont even attempt to go because the odds of anyone else being there is so darn low that you would go there in vein.. If you could join another lobby using a normal pass, for being present.. i think that would greatly improve the rural experience
I've only started wathcing but this is an awesome idea!
I enjoyed this, I would have even listened in if it weren’t a video and was just audio of the two of you
I’m my opinion. I think that a fair compromise would be 100-125 coin passes and a 10 limit and open it up for events.
The only thing that I don't like is the price. keep the price the same but have a limit. 5 is just not enough for people to get enough XLs when a raid is only available for 7 days with 5 raids limit. 10 is better even though it's far from enough.
It just needs to be unlimited. Period.
@oneonone8855 I've always said this. I haven't purched a remote pass since purely because of the price. But they did offer extra xl for in person raids too just to give us something extra at least. 140 remote raids a month is still a hefty amount. But the price for me they did this during a time where they were constantly accused of cash grabs. For example the galarian mr mime in research.
One of my most memorable experience playing is going alone into a cemetery at 9pm for the first Charizard I've seen in the wild back 2017 😂
