The thing I love about this channel is: I will always know whether I'm going to know what I want to know, or not, in the first moments of the video. The format of "here's what the video is about ___, *snap" is so clear and concise, I've been watching for years. You really are a part of a dying breed of content creator and that's a shame, but you make something that people need and I'm sure there are many like me who feel this kind of gratitude towards you. I don't mean to get all serious about it, just want to let you know I like how you do things and I hope you never change.
One thing I found out early about the Pokédex is when you open it there’s a little trophy icon, if you press the X button it will give you rewards based on how many entries you’ve filled. Like the first one is ten entries gets you 3 stardusts and so on
@@fernandosimon5621 It tells you but it's easy to miss. you have to go into the second page which is the actual dex otherwise x only takes you to other apps
I'm entirely convinced they took inspiration from Toothless in designing Koraidon and Miraidon. The head shape and eyes alone point to that being a very real possibility. Not to mention how much PERSONALTIY Koraidon has. Miraidon gives off mom vibes. Koraidon gives off fun dad vibes.
@@kindzekken6072 yes the animations are exactly the same. So any opinion on there being “different personalities” is just that person projecting onto the design
Not only am I super excited to catch and use the new paldean Pokémon, but to use Pokémon from other generations that I haven’t played. So many new Pokémon, and it’s a lot of fun. I’m about an hour in, and paldean wooper is so cool
@@kingjezza6567 this is an unnecessary comment under such a positive one. No need to ruin excitement with negativity. Plus the designs are absolutely amazing and the best we've gotten in years.
@@browut644 just because I don’t like the designs, doesn’t mean other wont…. Im sure OP will enjoy the games and “new” Pokémon.. at someone will enjoy the games…
Also, something Austin didn't mention: If you take a right from the first pokemon center, there is a very strong Fletchinder you can fight. It's about level 23 and isn't always there, but often flies down from a high wall. Good early exp if you're looking to evolve some dudes early.
The fact that pokemon just gather around you when you walk about makes the game feel alive. In route one you can have a mini army of little ones following you around 😂 also the very first Pokémon I caught was a shiny Pawmi, as soon as I walked into route 1
I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos to not spoil the new Pokémon. I wish other TH-camrs felt the same but with your channel I know I can trust you. Thank You.
Im really taking my time with this game, I've done 2 gyms 2 titans and 1 team star camp, my whole team is level 35-40, I'm exploring a lot and creating my first ever living dex in a Pokémon game, I've already got like 170 in the dex, having such a great time with the game so far, probably already my favourite pokemon game
I spent 3 hours in just one area catching Pokémon. I love that I could run around to wherever I wanted and look for Pokémon in the trees and the water. Loving it so far! Except for the glitches😢
I ordered Scarlet on Amazon and it’s arriving some time today and every hour since I woke up has felt like a decade lol. I am so incredibly excited to play these games
I’m picking up my Scarlet pre-order in a few hours after work today! The first few weeks of Pokémon releases are always the most fun for me and I know you’re always gonna have a new video for me to watch about mechanics etc. as I progress ☺️
I pushed off this video for weeks because I was worried about major spoilers. I’m some distance into the game and I’m so glad that you said you wouldn’t reveal anything past the first route! Thank you! Awesome TH-camr! Also first person to ever help me complete a Pokédex! That’s sword and legend arceus! Now coming will be violet thanks all to you!
@@kingofcheshire the frame rate is actually shocking. I was surprised that it was so bad because so many people said the update made it better. Makes me wonder how bad it was before the update
I started playing Violet before work this morning. I’m still in Area One of the South Province. I’ve already caught a ton of Pokémon and plan on exploring nooks and crannies before moving on to the school.
I hope it gets better too, but it's honestly not really bothering me that much. It takes some time to adjust, but it's never too much that I can't enjoy myself.
I'll be starting my Violet adventure today and I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you so much for ALL of the helpful tips and tricks! You are amazing!!
Thanks!!! I’ve absolutely enjoyed learning about this game from you! Can’t wait for more. Been a Pokémon fan for 20 years but I sometimes feel like since I wasn’t the biggest into gaming that I miss things and don’t have good strategy skills. I really appreciate that you tie everything together to all your previous Pokémon knowledge while also telling as much information as you possibly can. I seriously learn so much from you
I picked up the double pack yesterday and I’m watching your tips before I start and I just want to say thank you I’m advance. Your passion, personality, and time spent editing is so appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Im so happy with the game, im 10 hours in and just got the first badge, im already catching everything and the variety in discovering everything is just incredible
@@SunCityGamer I've heard plenty of good things outside of reviews. it's a switch FFS, you can't expect perfect performance. stop bashing it until you try it
Great content as always! Make sure you get some rest man! You're going crazy with videos don't burn yourself out.. your community will be here whether it's 5 videos a day or 5 a week.
That teleporting trick is extremely helpful and I wish I had watched this earlier. There was what appeared to be a shiny tentacool on my map but it was on a cliff that I couldn't climb yet. My save overwrote itself when I wiped to a strong pokemon, so I think it's gone, but I've made it to the top of the cliff now.
This is so awesome!! I’ve been avoiding spoilers like the plague but just started my playthrough and was very quickly like…hmmm let’s see if Austin has any tips cause this is A LOT. And low and behold you did. Thanks for always having my back with amazing helpful content that doesn’t make me feel like you’re playing the game for me!!! You are great at balancing tips with encouraging a player to have their own experience!!
I got the double pack and started on Scarlet. I had played for about 2 hours and finally found my first shiny (Tarountula). Just wanted to share this. Back on topic, this guide is very helpful, thank you
Me: wants to go into the game blind Also me: religiously committed to watching AJP videos whenever they drop Dude you're always so delightful and informative, and have such an inquisitive mind. I love all the work you do so much 💜
Thanks for explaining the point of the classes. I had absolutely no interest in taking a math class in a Pokémon game. But now I'm genuinely interested if it feels like a Persona Confidant type of mechanic.
This video was a gold mine. I am new to the Pokémon gaming franchise, with Arceus being my first game. Violet is very different (and I am glad of that). So far, I've been having a lot of fun. I am glad to know the game mechanics are so easy to pick up on and you're not limited from reaching other areas, by large boss battles. LOVE this game and I hope to catch more of your Tips & Tricks videos about this series as you progress in the game. Thank you for sharing with us!
My sister and I decided to try something we named “The Pre-School Challenge” where you try to go to every fly point except for the Pokémon league before you start school. We both finished it today in around 10 hours! It was actually a really fun and interesting challenge for this game, I highly recommend it to anyone interested.
Love the Pokedex is actually helpful now for Pokemon not caught yet rather than just for a quest to catch and show ya when done. That battle with pokemon on other side of cliffs neat trick =) Thx for the coverage!
@austinjohnplays changing my switch settings > tv settings from 1080p to 720p actually cleaned up alot of the graphical problems and framerate, though it still looks not great it runs smoother.
Pokémon Violet just arrived 5 mins ago!!! Watching your latest video as I'm waiting for the download to complete. Thank you for the hard work and knowledge you provide to us. Austin is the best. Please support him. Been watching his videos since Breath of the wild released along with every Pokemon game since! Thank you!
I'm only an hour into the game, haven't even gone to the school for the first time yet, I'm having too much of a blast just wandering around. But now I'm hearing about sidequests? This game keeps sounding better and better!
Thanks Austin, I should be getting my preordered copy in the mail later on today. Now I’ll be prepared for my first playthrough! BTW which starter this time around is your favorite?
Oh okay. That's the trick to getting across that Gap. Pokemon kept falling, but I managed to catch the blue dog, the Purple Lizard, and a deerling. The deerling kicked the ass of my starter though. The most random Pokemon keeps showing up over there it's really weird.
I have NEVER played pokemon before so this was super helpful! The random sparkly pokemon with the crystals on their heads, what should I do with them? Battle or catch?
Advice, Playing the older games is a MUST! If this is your first poke game, It is very different from others, This is the first time pokemon has done a full open world. You can dip your toe by playing newer ones, And even then this games is MUCh different from sword and shield, but that one wasn't as good as others, The graphics for the other pokemon switch titles are a lot better so if they can merge the 2 it would be awesome, And THEN you can grab some Pre 3d games like pokemon black and white, pokemon ruby saphire, poke platinum, pokemon Heart gold etc. AND THEN you can see what it used to be like in original Pokemon Johto, pokemon blue and red 1997 etc. Play all the different ways, and if you play the really old ones, Trust me, even if you are used to the new versions graphics, After about 10 minutes of playing any pokemon game you will Not care and have a lot of fun, Each is very unique and guides you with the same fun, some of the fun of the older games was that it felt like they knew what the player was thinking and characters would mention things, The older versions are more personal.
Hey Austin, would you mind sharing how you feel about the performance about the game? There have been comments and reviews that all conclude that the performance of the game was horrendous compared to previous games and counterparts, but you seemed rather satisfied by the game.
I found a funny thing. I was climbing the mountain behind the naranja academy before getting my ride pokemon and my screen went black and the game spit me out at the entrance to Mezagoza town. When i climbed it again with Koraidon it brought me to the east exit before i had even left through any of the gates. When i went back into the city i got a message from Arven that i bet you would normally get upon leaving the city.
It’s so so so so so so SO Awesome to see people in Austin’s community being happy and excited with this game! I’m loving it so far and I’ve barely even scratched the surface. The Reddit community (like always) is so negative and it upset me. This has really lifted me back up. I remember them being super negative about sword and shield though. That bummed me out at the time. But they’re my favourite games lol. I hope everyone carries on having fun! ❤
I mean, I don't visit the reddit but if their gripes are with how the game runs it is absolutely justified. There's no excuse for it to run this way and if people keep making excuses this series is never going to be what it should.
@@Joshua-xh6bm what it should be is fairly subjective though tbf. I’ve always thought the series was fine, like I said, Sword and Shield are my favourite games in the series and probably some of my favourite games fullstop. I haven’t really had any issues with how it runs either tbh (not far in to it at all though so maybe that’ll change) But if it’s something a massive amount of people are unhappy with then I’m sure they’ll fix it
HTTYD is my favorite animated movie series, so i when i saw the mannerisms of Koraidon and Miraidon, i immediately loved it because they reminded me of Toothless!
I've been waiting for tips from you since you're the best for spoiler-free or minimum spoilers as much as possible content creator. My pre-order copy got delayed until Nov. 21 because of a storm so yeah. Watching your tips to ease the pain of more waiting some more
I actually started to freak out when Austin mentioned the how to train your dragon thing. I noticed before that Miraidon acted like toothless and I loved it because I'm also a big fan of httyd. I just think it's funny and cool how we thought the same thing
Austin, I'm in love with Pokemon Scarlet. I can't wait till my daughter gets home from school so she can fire up Violet. There is so much stuff. They really put in the work on this game not even gonna lie. I did notice some performance issues like frame rate drops and the like but that's no big deal. I've not really had this much fun in a Pokemon game since OG Pokemon Pearl.
I'm happy you mentioned the ride pokemon and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. I thought there was something familiar with some of the pokemon's expressions but I couldn't place it.
Oh wow the info about catching Pokémon and the raising them above the badge cap but the still obey is top tier info, I was trying to rush to get some more badges but now I know I don’t have to worry about overleveling!
The game was encouraging me to start the Treasure Hunt and I'm no I wanna go back to school. I had such a blast in the classes, getting to the know the teachers (way to blast down stereotypes with the Home Ec teacher, game freak, I love it!) And I truly loved reading all the books in the Entrance Hall. They completely enraptured my interest in what's to come and what I can't potentially find out there. Vast majority of the game is still completely unspoiled for me despite Facebook's best efforts. I am so invested in the mysteries of this game, all there is to see, and it's still take me hours to travel even half a mile cause every little path leads me on a wild tangent catching a ridiculous amount of Pokemon. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with my boxes, organizing them into a full form Dex is gonna be a nightmare and I don't know all the different possible forms yet so I'll probably have to reorganize AFTER I catch everything. RIP
the games so cool. ive been exploring and catching some of my favourite pokemon before ive even gotten to my first gym yet. i wanted to do the water gym first and the barrier stopping me i just managed to jump around with mid air strafing on my ride pokemon. i find it SO cool how you can just go out and get yourself so many cool pokemon before going to do anything. it feels much more like being an actual pokemon trainer. ive already caught about 20 pokemon and i just dont know what im supposed to run in my team
This game has been the pokemon game I've gotten a shiny the fastest! Right after the lighthouse scene there it was a shiny tarountula! Love this game so far
There's literally such an overwhelming amount of content in this game. I can(and have) spend several hours just doing my own thing, and it's still as engaging as the main storylines.
Thank you so much for your videos Austin! I look forward to each one dropping, TH-cam notifications are the best lol. 1 tip that I had, is when you are jumping off a cliff it isn't necessary to press B and slide through it, if you just walk to it again it lets you jump off. I'll test your way in the morning though, because I could be wrong, I'm not sure if the sliding lets you pass the first "are you sure you want to throw yourself off a cliff?" restriction lol.
My favorite bit of commentary to hear about a game: “I don’t recommend doing things this way, but you can if you want to.” That immediately tells me exploring and experimenting will more often than not be worth something lol.
I started the game this morning, found one of those purple doors in like 30 mins of free roaming and was like” WTF is that?!” So glad you mentioned it lol
Glad yoy pointed out the huge variety of pokemon we can get before school. I did about 2 hours like that, poking around and exploring and it ended up with me catching a shiny magikarp on the beach. Been playing these games since before visible shinies and I never knew they were gold lmao. So used to the gen 2 freebie and I'd have never guessed they were gold.
6:58 ohhhhh that explains a lot! I defeated all the titan pokemon before challenging any gyms and was wondering why some of my lv 20+ pokemon were obeying me and others were not :O
I've barely started and similar to Legends: Arceus I'm quickly realizing that to enjoy this game properly, there's no point in being a completionist and exploring every part of the map. At least not until I beat it. Cuz this thing is HUGE.
I started the school stuff right away before I left the big town and I’m glad I did. Then anytime I saw more classes opened up would fly back and do them. I’ve passed my mid terms and glad I have! It’s a lot of fun and honestly some of the questions are a little challenging if I wasn’t paying attention.
I'm driving in right now after watching this. Austin, thank you for everything you've done for us and the community! All the love for you man! Absolute legend of a man!

Lechonk just staring at the trainer while he peruses his Pokedex is oddly kinda cute.
Was questioning why I wasn't learning new moves. I tried looking it up online, it didn't help. Then I tried here. Thanks Austin John.
I LOVE this new open world design, such a good step forward. improves replay-ability alot!
Just so you know at 17:30 ish you forgot to blur the water starters second form (looks so dope) 🙏
I like that not every wild pokemon just want to fight like in PLA
Love the Pokedex is actually helpful now for Pokemon not caught yet rather than just for a quest to catch and show ya when done. That battle with pokemon on other side of cliffs neat trick =) Thx for the coverage!
Just got a full odds shiny Rookidee while watching this! Thanks Austin for the shiny luck!!
@austinjohnplays changing my switch settings > tv settings from 1080p to 720p actually cleaned up alot of the graphical problems and framerate, though it still looks not great it runs smoother.
I just got a shiny rockruff whilst exploring on koraidon :) definitely worth exploring a bit before going to any gyms
Pokémon Violet just arrived 5 mins ago!!! Watching your latest video as I'm waiting for the download to complete. Thank you for the hard work and knowledge you provide to us. Austin is the best. Please support him. Been watching his videos since Breath of the wild released along with every Pokemon game since! Thank you!
Legit starting tonight after I get off work. Thanks for the great starter tips!
I'm only an hour into the game, haven't even gone to the school for the first time yet, I'm having too much of a blast just wandering around. But now I'm hearing about sidequests? This game keeps sounding better and better!
Thanks Austin, I should be getting my preordered copy in the mail later on today. Now I’ll be prepared for my first playthrough! BTW which starter this time around is your favorite?
Oh okay. That's the trick to getting across that Gap. Pokemon kept falling, but I managed to catch the blue dog, the Purple Lizard, and a deerling. The deerling kicked the ass of my starter though. The most random Pokemon keeps showing up over there it's really weird.
I have NEVER played pokemon before so this was super helpful! The random sparkly pokemon with the crystals on their heads, what should I do with them? Battle or catch?
Battle for sure!
Advice, Playing the older games is a MUST!
If this is your first poke game, It is very different from others, This is the first time pokemon has done a full open world. You can dip your toe by playing newer ones, And even then this games is MUCh different from sword and shield, but that one wasn't as good as others, The graphics for the other pokemon switch titles are a lot better so if they can merge the 2 it would be awesome, And THEN you can grab some Pre 3d games like pokemon black and white, pokemon ruby saphire, poke platinum, pokemon Heart gold etc. AND THEN you can see what it used to be like in original Pokemon Johto, pokemon blue and red 1997 etc. Play all the different ways, and if you play the really old ones, Trust me, even if you are used to the new versions graphics, After about 10 minutes of playing any pokemon game you will Not care and have a lot of fun, Each is very unique and guides you with the same fun, some of the fun of the older games was that it felt like they knew what the player was thinking and characters would mention things, The older versions are more personal.
@@OfTheiAm thank you for this! I have completed the 3 stories in Scarlet now and I have bought myself pokemon pearl because it was on sale! X
@@OfTheiAm also I play stardew 🤣 the graphics won’t be a problem in the older games
17:47 I was wondering about that door, found anpther one which was orang in colour somewhere else too
Hey Austin, would you mind sharing how you feel about the performance about the game? There have been comments and reviews that all conclude that the performance of the game was horrendous compared to previous games and counterparts, but you seemed rather satisfied by the game.
Nah Pokémon player are fine with none existent anti aliasing and they have been used to 20fps and framedrop. Not a big deal for Pokémon player
I found a funny thing. I was climbing the mountain behind the naranja academy before getting my ride pokemon and my screen went black and the game spit me out at the entrance to Mezagoza town. When i climbed it again with Koraidon it brought me to the east exit before i had even left through any of the gates. When i went back into the city i got a message from Arven that i bet you would normally get upon leaving the city.
It’s so so so so so so SO Awesome to see people in Austin’s community being happy and excited with this game! I’m loving it so far and I’ve barely even scratched the surface. The Reddit community (like always) is so negative and it upset me. This has really lifted me back up. I remember them being super negative about sword and shield though. That bummed me out at the time. But they’re my favourite games lol. I hope everyone carries on having fun! ❤
I mean, I don't visit the reddit but if their gripes are with how the game runs it is absolutely justified. There's no excuse for it to run this way and if people keep making excuses this series is never going to be what it should.
@@Joshua-xh6bm what it should be is fairly subjective though tbf. I’ve always thought the series was fine, like I said, Sword and Shield are my favourite games in the series and probably some of my favourite games fullstop. I haven’t really had any issues with how it runs either tbh (not far in to it at all though so maybe that’ll change) But if it’s something a massive amount of people are unhappy with then I’m sure they’ll fix it
HTTYD is my favorite animated movie series, so i when i saw the mannerisms of Koraidon and Miraidon, i immediately loved it because they reminded me of Toothless!
Sadly, my game is still multiple states away from me and was just delayed due to weather
Your positivity and excitement is getting me out of the funk I've been in about the performance issues. Just gonna enjoy the game and the mons now!
I went and caught everything before even finding the first pokemon centre, needless to say I'm liking the freedom
I've been waiting for tips from you since you're the best for spoiler-free or minimum spoilers as much as possible content creator. My pre-order copy got delayed until Nov. 21 because of a storm so yeah. Watching your tips to ease the pain of more waiting some more
I actually started to freak out when Austin mentioned the how to train your dragon thing. I noticed before that Miraidon acted like toothless and I loved it because I'm also a big fan of httyd. I just think it's funny and cool how we thought the same thing
But how do I unlock more than 15 fps?
Austin, I'm in love with Pokemon Scarlet. I can't wait till my daughter gets home from school so she can fire up Violet. There is so much stuff. They really put in the work on this game not even gonna lie. I did notice some performance issues like frame rate drops and the like but that's no big deal. I've not really had this much fun in a Pokemon game since OG Pokemon Pearl.
I'm happy you mentioned the ride pokemon and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. I thought there was something familiar with some of the pokemon's expressions but I couldn't place it.
Oh wow the info about catching Pokémon and the raising them above the badge cap but the still obey is top tier info, I was trying to rush to get some more badges but now I know I don’t have to worry about overleveling!
The game was encouraging me to start the Treasure Hunt and I'm no I wanna go back to school. I had such a blast in the classes, getting to the know the teachers (way to blast down stereotypes with the Home Ec teacher, game freak, I love it!) And I truly loved reading all the books in the Entrance Hall. They completely enraptured my interest in what's to come and what I can't potentially find out there. Vast majority of the game is still completely unspoiled for me despite Facebook's best efforts. I am so invested in the mysteries of this game, all there is to see, and it's still take me hours to travel even half a mile cause every little path leads me on a wild tangent catching a ridiculous amount of Pokemon. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with my boxes, organizing them into a full form Dex is gonna be a nightmare and I don't know all the different possible forms yet so I'll probably have to reorganize AFTER I catch everything. RIP
the games so cool. ive been exploring and catching some of my favourite pokemon before ive even gotten to my first gym yet. i wanted to do the water gym first and the barrier stopping me i just managed to jump around with mid air strafing on my ride pokemon. i find it SO cool how you can just go out and get yourself so many cool pokemon before going to do anything. it feels much more like being an actual pokemon trainer. ive already caught about 20 pokemon and i just dont know what im supposed to run in my team
If you can find a pincurchin, catch it. It carried me through most of early game (gyms, titan battles, ect…)
This game has been the pokemon game I've gotten a shiny the fastest! Right after the lighthouse scene there it was a shiny tarountula! Love this game so far
All I wrote down was change the text speed to FAST haha.
I did watch the full video tho. Thanks, Austin!
There's literally such an overwhelming amount of content in this game. I can(and have) spend several hours just doing my own thing, and it's still as engaging as the main storylines.
Thank you so much for your videos Austin! I look forward to each one dropping, TH-cam notifications are the best lol.
1 tip that I had, is when you are jumping off a cliff it isn't necessary to press B and slide through it, if you just walk to it again it lets you jump off.
I'll test your way in the morning though, because I could be wrong, I'm not sure if the sliding lets you pass the first "are you sure you want to throw yourself off a cliff?" restriction lol.
My favorite bit of commentary to hear about a game: “I don’t recommend doing things this way, but you can if you want to.” That immediately tells me exploring and experimenting will more often than not be worth something lol.
15:31 OH THATS AWESOME! I TOTALLY AGREE
Just started my Violet play through, and this is helpful! Love AustinJohn’s videos
I started the game this morning, found one of those purple doors in like 30 mins of free roaming and was like” WTF is that?!” So glad you mentioned it lol
Glad yoy pointed out the huge variety of pokemon we can get before school.
I did about 2 hours like that, poking around and exploring and it ended up with me catching a shiny magikarp on the beach.
Been playing these games since before visible shinies and I never knew they were gold lmao. So used to the gen 2 freebie and I'd have never guessed they were gold.
6:58 ohhhhh that explains a lot! I defeated all the titan pokemon before challenging any gyms and was wondering why some of my lv 20+ pokemon were obeying me and others were not :O
Bit of an odd question, but is that hoodie merch? I don’t recognise it as one of your phrases.
Bought my Switch and this game last month. I am loving it. It has been more than 10 years without playing new Pokémon games.
I've barely started and similar to Legends: Arceus I'm quickly realizing that to enjoy this game properly, there's no point in being a completionist and exploring every part of the map. At least not until I beat it. Cuz this thing is HUGE.
I started the school stuff right away before I left the big town and I’m glad I did. Then anytime I saw more classes opened up would fly back and do them. I’ve passed my mid terms and glad I have! It’s a lot of fun and honestly some of the questions are a little challenging if I wasn’t paying attention.
I'm driving in right now after watching this. Austin, thank you for everything you've done for us and the community! All the love for you man! Absolute legend of a man!
