I love this video. I am 64, and I have played all 8 generations of the games. I find most of the things you describe here addictive as well. Thank you for your videos. I do have a question. Have you found an explanation for your online issues yet. I think I have the same problems...at least I get no one joining me for raids, but I also get almost no one able to link trade me as well. I would love to find a solution to this.
So I found details on my issue. I was using my phone's hotspot. While it worked fine for 3ds, the switch games only partly worked. When testing the connection, my phone provider assigned the hotspot a type D NAT Type. Only A and B NAT types work, When I moved to a router hotspot, the NAT Type changed to A or B. At that point raids, link trades, etc worked quickly.
Larry it is nice to see another man playing I am 48 and I thought I was a loner man this old playing pokemon this feels good knowing I am not the only man this old playing pokemon. I am fairly new I started playing when sun & moon and ultra sun & moon came out and got hooked ever since.. it would be nice to have someone to talk to about all this and help..I play now on the Nintendo stick I have the Go evee and sword & shield and have only got part way through any of them lol.. you can look me up on facebook if you like..
Nice man, glad to hear you're enjoying it! My copy just came in the mail and I can't wait to dive in. I feel like I'm 10 again, all my buddies are buying up copies and we're all talking about battling and trading. Good times
He never really stated that he didn’t like the game. He just stated a lot of negatives with the game but he also stated positives. And opinions can change. He probably got uses to whatever he didn’t like.
@@undisclosedsteve6361 he said he didn't like the first video he made, not the game. In both of his previous videos he explicitly said he was enjoying the game.
Not sure if you read these all the way through,but you have helped me come to terms with being the Nerd i am and game lover. Im absolutley obsessed with gaming( and music) it my forte. Thank you for giving me the confidence to talk Nerd in all social situations and be me. Milligan out!
That was me when Pokemon X came out, I played over 999 hours and I was so obsessed with it that I was the original trainer for all of them 😅 excluding some Pokemon
Okay so yeah it’s definitely possible to log in a ton of time for Pokémon X, can I ask how? Pokémon X has like no postgame, what were you doing after you completed the game? (no offense but I’m just curious)
Love your videos bro! Glad to see you always being so... YOU! Lol I remember you had that flooding situation at your old home, you’ve stayed so positive, even in the worst of situations! I wish nothing but continued success for you in life! ❤️✊🏾👑
I’m really excited about getting Pokémon sword this week:)! It looks so good and yes there’s a few things people can’t overlook but I’ve also been a fan of Pokémon for a long time now and I always fall in love with their games☺️ the new Pokémon’s in this game look so adorable and when I get my hands on the game I know I’ll become addicted too lol can’t wait!
so how did you enjoy the game and what do you think about it? i am thinking about getting the game but i just see very mixed reviews, some say they enjoyed the game, some say that they absolutely hate it and i just dont know what to think
Search is why I didn't sort by type, but rather by number. Also that way, when I finish the dex I can scroll through and see them all in order which pleases me.
I haven’t completely finished the story yet, but I kind of like how the older trainers are trying to actually take care of things themselves so the new 10-year-old trainers can have as much fun on their journey as possible, rather than asking for your help with stuff all the time. It’s not perfect, but I do like that part about it.
Oh, idunno, maybe the godamn whole introduction of the game and following cutscenes about the Gym Challenge and Champion Leon extending his invitation for trainers to challenge him? Like every cutscene with other gym challengers and gym leaders with their own goals for once? The hidden history of Galar, the origin of the Darkest Day and Dynamax? The continuation of the story as to how the history was hidden? I mean, its okay to say that there are too many godamned cutscenes and that they are boring etc, but saying theres no story until the last minute implies that you're not even paying attention to the damn game you are playing somehow????
Man you're hilarious. Your dedication to/love of Pokemon reminds me of my own. I get Pokemon Shield and my Switch Lite TOMORROW and I'm just itching to get started. You've got a new sub. :)
Would you really consider it a change of thought? We all have games we are endeared to. One of my favorite games, I personally rate a 5/10, but I still love it. Doesn't mean it doesn't have glaring flaws, but subjectively, it just hit me right. People just have to understand that an honest review does not necessarily align with your preferences.
@@gelatin25 I guess I meant more like, its interesting to see how engaged he became with it despite his gripes. I'm quite fond of the game myself, despite its issues (I even kinda loved the main story, though I admit the main climax was a bit undercooked)
Pokémon sun and moon is actually one of my favourite stories in the series. The hardest stories to grind through for me are Ruby and Saphire (especially in the endgame), Diamond and Pearl and Black and White 2
@Babbit @cashbag2012 yeah if you make curry then all your party pokemon (I haven’t tested if it heals your pc Pokémon too) get their HP restored and status conditions healed (I’m also not sure if it restores PP)

I can understand how shiny hunting can be so addicting I've been trying to get a competitive shiny sylveon for the past week now and I'm out of luck...
Can you explain umbreon and espeon (however it's spelled)? I know the whole "max friendship" and evolve at day/night thing, but still don't get how to trigger the actual evolution (What level?) Or how to check when friendship is maxed...
@@zachangell3021 feed them curry to max friendship and if it's overcast/ thunderstorms in wild area then it probably counts as night, I'm not 100% sure about the night features but I maxed my team's friendship this way by feeding curry to level guys up with exp and reviving my pokemon and fully healing their status effects this way
Trading is good because if you get a trade with a player who’s playing the opposite game type then you ( sword and shield ) you can get Pokemon that are exclusive to them, there’s about 30-40 for each one and two of the gyms are different in the games
"They're so stale in battle." *BOY HAVE YOU NOT SEEN PYRO BALL?!* some battle animations are so good. Also the new animation for Hyper Beam LEGIT had me tense up the first time I watched it happen like THAT felt like a HYPER BEAM _straight_ from the anime; full of absolute POWER and something you should fear. It's a bit frustrating cause gamefreak you're so close man. Right there. Also what a nice story....that's the essence of Pokemon....I made a lot of my friends through Pokemon. There's something for everyone.
@@dracodragniel8648 right like why give Nickit a basic mon a cool animation for Quick Attack and not like you know Nuzzle or Spark or anything else? i mean it's COOL because they took the pokedex entry of them wiping their pawprints off the ground INTO battle but GAMEFREAK BRO COME ON. Learn. To. OPTIMIZE properly dammit lol.
@@prettylilhedz Dazzling Gleam is SOOO PRETTY!! Especially coming from Galarian Rapidash like ah GAMEFREAK COME ON. Make EVERY move so COOL and UNIQUE just...mmm.
Heck, freaking SCARY FACE has a good animation. At this point, I’m honestly starting to wonder if it’s just Double Kick and the similar moves tainting my view of the rest.
It's been getting better. When I first started playing only one time did I ever have one person join my raid and then nothing after that for a long time. However all of a sudden I've noticed more andm ore people joining. Lately I've gotten all 3 people three times so far during total gameplay which is a big milestone compared to what it was. I've also seen new smarter online features pop-up for an uber brief time that simplified things leading me to believe they are indeed working on it. One time I even saw a message when trying to join a raid, "This raid has already closed, let's go ahead and refresh your stamps" which was a lifesaver although it seems they removed it the next day so, oh well lol. But I feel like things are very, very, slowly improving and that they are working on some of hte online issues.

I hooked my Switch up to my TV. The 3 games I owned turned to like 20. I actually like how laid back this Pokémon game is. But my biggest gripe is Hop.
I feel like a zombie at this point where every time I watch your video, I get convinced to either buy a game or ditch a game. So now I just decided to give Pokemon Sword and Shield a chance. 🙃
He just goes with the popular opinion to get views. Form your own opinion and actually give games a chance. He called nsmbu boring after playing for like less than an hour because that’s what everyone else said. He barely played xc2 and was massively overleveled and then complained about it being to easy and other stuff that would be fixed within the next hour.
Genox not really, I didn’t get bored after 100%ing both it and nslu but even if it was really boring this guy admitted to only playing like the first 3 levels or something and then said that no one should get the game and it was a waste that it was ported to the switch. This guy can’t be trusted for what he says as he obviously just jumps on the bandwagon, doesn’t give games a chance and goes in with preconceived notions
If he really wanted to jump on a "bandwagon," he'd say the games suck, and I use the term bandwagon very loosely here because that bandwagon here is just a vocal minority that makes hating the game look like the bandwagon.
The story really feels like a shackle! Yes, thank you! I actually gave up on Ultra Sun because the story was too much! And I'm still going through the story, so every time I get to a place I brace myself for the iinevitable encounter of the story. 🤣 I don't like the raid feature though, or the expansion pass that it keeps offering to me. I just want to play offline old school style.
I bought shield and received sword as a gift and for the first time ever im playing the other version that's how much I'm enjoying this game! Happy pokemon hunting everyone lol
3:24 Oh wow I have a Leafeon on my A team too! I just took being able to get one right before the first gym a sign that this was the best game to use one and he's a very valuable member being my favorite grass type in the game. I just beat the third gym and honestly, I love the entire game. I am actually really enjoying the main game, this was the first time I played Pokemon since Leafgreen so I appreciated the refreshers. But the Wild Area elevates this to my favorite of the 4 Pokemon mainline games I have played (the other 2 are gold and Brilliant Diamond). I'm not even 25 hours in and have filled out over 100 Pokedex entries.
You: Gamefreak dropped the ball on this one... [gets 4k downvotes] Also you: No wait, you guys misunderstood! It’s an okay game! Also also you: I’m addicted to this game.
@@visionflix2202 there is a difference between changing your opinion of something over time but the guys literally Flip flopped with the Like and dislike ratio how can you trust this guys opinion on reviewing a product
@@toview2016 haha and the upscaled 3ds graphics? In All seriousness I mean games in general if he has flip flopped so much.. between oh its horrible oh its alright oh I'm addicted
Thanks beatemups! Was burned out on shield (even bought sword on the same switch thinking I could trade between them I was so into it). Watching this video has inspired me to complete the Pokédex and start shiny hunting! This will be my first ever Pokédex complete (if I can finish it), I’ve been playing since red and blue). Thanks so much for the content you provide this is where I go for switch content 👍 Now where’s the entire video dedicated to link’s awakening! Having so much fun with that game and I can’t find a video on your channel that talks about it exclusively (as I believe it deserves imo) Happy gaming can’t wait for 2020 ffvii remake and so many others!
I can see it as a good casual entry level game. I enjoy it as a super casual game because i have no reason to rush to endgame since I only play a bit on the side.
Guys I have 141 hours clocked on my game right now. Full competative team, 2 shinies (Gyarados and hattena) completed my dex..... hahaha i need a life send help
I don’t have a Nintendo switch yet but I hope I get one for the holidays and I will definitely ask for Pokémon sword and shield❤️ I love your vids too❤️ I hope I meet you one day👍🏼

These videos are making me want to stay up all night and play pokemon sword and shield.
I love this video. I am 64, and I have played all 8 generations of the games. I find most of the things you describe here addictive as well.
Thank you for your videos.
I do have a question. Have you found an explanation for your online issues yet. I think I have the same problems...at least I get no one joining me for raids, but I also get almost no one able to link trade me as well. I would love to find a solution to this.
So I found details on my issue. I was using my phone's hotspot. While it worked fine for 3ds, the switch games only partly worked. When testing the connection, my phone provider assigned the hotspot a type D NAT Type.
Only A and B NAT types work,
When I moved to a router hotspot, the NAT Type changed to A or B.
At that point raids, link trades, etc worked quickly.
Thanks for the resolution!
so wholesome
Larry it is nice to see another man playing I am 48 and I thought I was a loner man this old playing pokemon this feels good knowing I am not the only man this old playing pokemon. I am fairly new I started playing when sun & moon and ultra sun & moon came out and got hooked ever since.. it would be nice to have someone to talk to about all this and help..I play now on the Nintendo stick I have the Go evee and sword & shield and have only got part way through any of them lol.. you can look me up on facebook if you like..
I’m going to be just like you when I grow up! 🤣 #gamer4life
Nice man, glad to hear you're enjoying it! My copy just came in the mail and I can't wait to dive in.
I feel like I'm 10 again, all my buddies are buying up copies and we're all talking about battling and trading. Good times
You're gonna love it. Get in there! See you in the wild area

Yo thank you for featuring me in this! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! 😊
Mind giving me the time stamp? It’s not that I don’t believe you but now I’m just curious
This is just the usual Woody process.
Step 1: Complain about stuff in a game.
Step 2: Play anyways.
Step 3: "I can't stop playing please send help!"
That was me when Pokemon X came out, I played over 999 hours and I was so obsessed with it that I was the original trainer for all of them 😅 excluding some Pokemon
@JLupeGGV Angel He is talking about Pokemon X
@JLupeGGV Angel true dat
Okay so yeah it’s definitely possible to log in a ton of time for Pokémon X, can I ask how? Pokémon X has like no postgame, what were you doing after you completed the game? (no offense but I’m just curious)
The story at the end of the video. Of your new friend on pokemon actually made me cry cuz I know exactly how you feel. 😁
I wonder how the mom dreepy feels after all those dam kids
She's dead.
Edit: thanks for the likes
Imagine paying her child support, bruh
She gets more babies to shoot out her rockets

WOOD MAKING A FRIEND VIA POKEMON IS MY FAVE PART OF 2019 T_T
I’m really excited about getting Pokémon sword this week:)! It looks so good and yes there’s a few things people can’t overlook but I’ve also been a fan of Pokémon for a long time now and I always fall in love with their games☺️ the new Pokémon’s in this game look so adorable and when I get my hands on the game I know I’ll become addicted too lol can’t wait!
so how did you enjoy the game and what do you think about it? i am thinking about getting the game but i just see very mixed reviews, some say they enjoyed the game, some say that they absolutely hate it and i just dont know what to think
@@nikolastransky2205 i didn't look at any reviews, have been a pokemon fan my entire life, got a switch just for the new games and im enjoying it.
just picked it up 3-4 days ago lol
0:47 who’s gonna tell him about the search?
Search is why I didn't sort by type, but rather by number. Also that way, when I finish the dex I can scroll through and see them all in order which pleases me.
Don’t hurt him
Story grind... what story story? I was a side character the whole time up until last minute.
I kinda liked that part. Unlike hau in gen 7, hop wasnt pure optimism. His dreams were crushed but he found his place in the end. It gave me feels
@@plazmatter thats basically gary
@@plazmatter thats basically bianca in bw1
I haven’t completely finished the story yet, but I kind of like how the older trainers are trying to actually take care of things themselves so the new 10-year-old trainers can have as much fun on their journey as possible, rather than asking for your help with stuff all the time. It’s not perfect, but I do like that part about it.
Oh, idunno, maybe the godamn whole introduction of the game and following cutscenes about the Gym Challenge and Champion Leon extending his invitation for trainers to challenge him?
Like every cutscene with other gym challengers and gym leaders with their own goals for once?
The hidden history of Galar, the origin of the Darkest Day and Dynamax?
The continuation of the story as to how the history was hidden?
I mean, its okay to say that there are too many godamned cutscenes and that they are boring etc, but saying theres no story until the last minute implies that you're not even paying attention to the damn game you are playing somehow????
“I was on TV!!” 😂😂
IKR xD
What?
Man you're hilarious. Your dedication to/love of Pokemon reminds me of my own. I get Pokemon Shield and my Switch Lite TOMORROW and I'm just itching to get started. You've got a new sub. :)
I don't have mine yet.....
I can’t even go to sleep I want to play this game all day.
It's very interesting seeing your how your thoughts have changed since the first video
Seiishin crazy what happens when people play the game.
Garrett Glass yeah I wish people would try it before buying into the hate
Would you really consider it a change of thought? We all have games we are endeared to. One of my favorite games, I personally rate a 5/10, but I still love it. Doesn't mean it doesn't have glaring flaws, but subjectively, it just hit me right. People just have to understand that an honest review does not necessarily align with your preferences.
@@gelatin25 I guess I meant more like, its interesting to see how engaged he became with it despite his gripes. I'm quite fond of the game myself, despite its issues (I even kinda loved the main story, though I admit the main climax was a bit undercooked)
I thought he more or less gave into the backlash.
Better to praise it than hate it if you’re a Nintendo heavy channel
"The Story was a grind to get through" Me: clearly hasn't played Sun and Moon 😂
Or black and white
Pokémon sun and moon is actually one of my favourite stories in the series. The hardest stories to grind through for me are Ruby and Saphire (especially in the endgame), Diamond and Pearl and Black and White 2
i played pokemon moon for like 5 hours and never again
@@aidztube8928 why bw2 what was wrong with it?
julians vlogs I love the after game, I'm just not a big fan of the story. I greatly preferred the plot of Black and White 1.
Dreepy was the first shiny I got in swsh and I got it in nine eggs, of course the next one took 546 eggs but...

@@zachangell3021 feed them curry to max friendship and if it's overcast/ thunderstorms in wild area then it probably counts as night, I'm not 100% sure about the night features but I maxed my team's friendship this way by feeding curry to level guys up with exp and reviving my pokemon and fully healing their status effects this way
Ive barely gotten past the dark gym. I just love taking everything in lol ive got 55 hours in lol
Trading is good because if you get a trade with a player who’s playing the opposite game type then you ( sword and shield ) you can get Pokemon that are exclusive to them, there’s about 30-40 for each one and two of the gyms are different in the games
Ngl even within the story i was stuck in the wild area overleveling my 1st team
"They're so stale in battle."
*BOY HAVE YOU NOT SEEN PYRO BALL?!* some battle animations are so good. Also the new animation for Hyper Beam LEGIT had me tense up the first time I watched it happen like THAT felt like a HYPER BEAM _straight_ from the anime; full of absolute POWER and something you should fear. It's a bit frustrating cause gamefreak you're so close man. Right there. Also what a nice story....that's the essence of Pokemon....I made a lot of my friends through Pokemon. There's something for everyone.
Exactly "some" when it should be "most" xD
@@dracodragniel8648 right like why give Nickit a basic mon a cool animation for Quick Attack and not like you know Nuzzle or Spark or anything else? i mean it's COOL because they took the pokedex entry of them wiping their pawprints off the ground INTO battle but GAMEFREAK BRO COME ON. Learn. To. OPTIMIZE properly dammit lol.
Moonblast is awesome as well...
@@prettylilhedz Dazzling Gleam is SOOO PRETTY!! Especially coming from Galarian Rapidash like ah GAMEFREAK COME ON. Make EVERY move so COOL and UNIQUE just...mmm.
Heck, freaking SCARY FACE has a good animation. At this point, I’m honestly starting to wonder if it’s just Double Kick and the similar moves tainting my view of the rest.
You must be the reason I keep getting dreepy in surprise trades.... UGH
Ikr like some one opened up the floodgates on that pokemon lol
I wish I was getting some :,(
HA more like everyone (including me) wants that shiney/competitive dracapult
Yeah, I have more than 10 now. It's insane.
I totally get why. I shiny hunt myself with chaining. It's just insane how many that come through.
Anybody else notice that, when he talks about being used to retro Pokemon games, the caption said "Pokémon Red / Blue / GREEN"?!
It's been getting better. When I first started playing only one time did I ever have one person join my raid and then nothing after that for a long time. However all of a sudden I've noticed more andm ore people joining. Lately I've gotten all 3 people three times so far during total gameplay which is a big milestone compared to what it was. I've also seen new smarter online features pop-up for an uber brief time that simplified things leading me to believe they are indeed working on it. One time I even saw a message when trying to join a raid, "This raid has already closed, let's go ahead and refresh your stamps" which was a lifesaver although it seems they removed it the next day so, oh well lol. But I feel like things are very, very, slowly improving and that they are working on some of hte online issues.
Bad luck, on missing that shiny. I was super happy for you at the end when you did get it! Grats buddy!

I hooked my Switch up to my TV. The 3 games I owned turned to like 20. I actually like how laid back this Pokémon game is. But my biggest gripe is Hop.
I have 139 hours in this game and im doing examns next to it.
Help
Damn
Gonna fail
I feel like a zombie at this point where every time I watch your video, I get convinced to either buy a game or ditch a game. So now I just decided to give Pokemon Sword and Shield a chance. 🙃
He just goes with the popular opinion to get views. Form your own opinion and actually give games a chance. He called nsmbu boring after playing for like less than an hour because that’s what everyone else said. He barely played xc2 and was massively overleveled and then complained about it being to easy and other stuff that would be fixed within the next hour.
Genox not really, I didn’t get bored after 100%ing both it and nslu but even if it was really boring this guy admitted to only playing like the first 3 levels or something and then said that no one should get the game and it was a waste that it was ported to the switch. This guy can’t be trusted for what he says as he obviously just jumps on the bandwagon, doesn’t give games a chance and goes in with preconceived notions
If he really wanted to jump on a "bandwagon," he'd say the games suck, and I use the term bandwagon very loosely here because that bandwagon here is just a vocal minority that makes hating the game look like the bandwagon.
Sword and Shield is okay.
*Nintendo Ninjas pay a visit*
I can’t stop playing!
Ricky Dunn I can’t stop playing!
The story really feels like a shackle! Yes, thank you! I actually gave up on Ultra Sun because the story was too much! And I'm still going through the story, so every time I get to a place I brace myself for the iinevitable encounter of the story. 🤣 I don't like the raid feature though, or the expansion pass that it keeps offering to me. I just want to play offline old school style.
I bought shield and received sword as a gift and for the first time ever im playing the other version that's how much I'm enjoying this game! Happy pokemon hunting everyone lol

3:24 Oh wow I have a Leafeon on my A team too! I just took being able to get one right before the first gym a sign that this was the best game to use one and he's a very valuable member being my favorite grass type in the game.
I just beat the third gym and honestly, I love the entire game. I am actually really enjoying the main game, this was the first time I played Pokemon since Leafgreen so I appreciated the refreshers. But the Wild Area elevates this to my favorite of the 4 Pokemon mainline games I have played (the other 2 are gold and Brilliant Diamond).

I can see it as a good casual entry level game. I enjoy it as a super casual game because i have no reason to rush to endgame since I only play a bit on the side.
It is a hard core game too. Farming those perfect Dittos and shinies ain't a joke.
