Re: Taking a Break from PoGo & Setting Goals in PoGo...
Taking a break from PoGo was one of the best things I did. I played from release for roughly the first 3.5 years. Ended up taking nearly a 3.5 year break, and then slowly started getting back into it. Now I'm really enjoying the game. Picking it up again felt like a new game, and almost gave me a similar feeling that I had when it first came out. I've been setting my own personal goals since I picked it up and sometimes they include things like "gain 100k xp each day this month" or "walk 50+km each week for a month" and that's also added a level of enjoyment to the game.
Thanks for the uplifting/real/and fun conversations! You're doing great work Daxi! Truly appreciate your content!
Thanks for sharing this - at end of the day the game is to be enjoyed so if a break is what you need people need to do themselves a favor and take it!
He was my Brother
Honestly very comforting watching your videos. Really makes me relax and just not think about life and all the struggles that comes with it. You make me realize that there’s so much more to life, and that I’ve got to enjoy and appreciate the small things. Personally my friends quit this game, but watching your videos, especially when you’re out with mystic and fleece really made me feel like a part of it, yk what I mean. I really hope go fest comes to my country next year so I’ll be able to meet you and finally experience this. Thank you so much for pushing out the content. Much love, time to quit yapping :D
Thank you Linus! Will keep making these I really enjoy it! N HOPE GO FEST comes to city near you!
Thanks for responding :D have a good day sir❤️
Wow! Daxi, you are so real. I LOVE it! Thank you for perspective on IRL Go Fest, therapy, emotions, everything you covered in this video. You took into account multiple different aspects: can people afford it, if they can-is it worth it, if they can't-that's OK, what you've experienced, ect. I really appreciate you addressing the comments on you being a sell out and the trip you've put together. It's awesome to see someone believe in themselves and defend their position in a respectful way. There is so much hate and anger when people have different views. Many times people don't even listen to each other. Thank you for listening and responding in a respectful manner. Truly refreshing!
I know so many people are bummed that they can't go to these events or participate in other things that they'd like to due to finances or other things. It IS a huge bummer and it sucks, but, as you said in your video, experience life the best that you can. Even if you can't go, take part in Global Go Fest with a friend or a group if you can. Make it about the connections, not necessarily the shinies. The shinies are great but when it comes down to it, it's the people that make or break it. Life isn't all roses and butterflies, true. Crap happens as they say. What you can do is work through it to the best of your ability and that is commendable.
Thank you for the encouragement and fellowship. Have fun! Wishing you and others in all the events good shiny luck!
"everybody is a person" so deep man
LMAOOO
“Seeing something new is what our brain needs.”
Such a simple but meaningful quote. Keep up the amazing work Dax, I love the content. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, so I appreciate the POV and everything you show this community.
only thing constant is change
of course they're worth it... unfortunately very few have the money to cost something like this, Niantic expects people's lives to rely around this game...
another point i got while watching, i get the experiences with friends part but also not everyone has that, i'd love to go to these events but I really have no one that would go alongside, and i think going at it alone would be kind of depressing, its already a bit hard to play locally on my own most of the time
My local community went the day before me last year and I went the day after the Sunday last year, I went with one friend I get that it may be scary thinking of going alone to an event like this but the community is amazing I went with one friend last year and we met so many new people around the park and city and ended up spending the day with new faces in the city portion of the day, if you do end up going you’ll 100% meet like minded people!
@@rmgaminghq7670 hmm not sure if i didn't explain myself properly, at least for me its not about it being a scary issue, i already played alone beforehand, I could do it, but being alone would be partly weird like this, i do assume most people would be with family or friends but for many, even if they can afford the trip, they may not have people with the money to go alongside them. And I don't know how willing would people let strangers tag along with them on a foreign city.
I'm actually planning to move to Japan in a few years and if the game is still going im most definitely attending an in person event if held there, not too sure if I'll have any acquaintances by that time however.
Appreciate you taking some of your go fest time to make this video, and love the format of these in general. The crossover between a casual game I enjoy and life talks is refreshing, and I resonate with a lot of your philosophies. Glad you are able to see the impact you are having with this series, and couldn't have said it better than the longer comment you read. Looking forward to Go Fest in NYC, and hope to see you there!
Yes so glad people are enjoying these! and see you in NEW YORKKKK
Maybe one day we'll get an Ottawa Go Fest... I went to the safari zone in Montreal but can't really justify leaving my wife and kid at home and traveling further than that for pogo
Ottawa GO Fest Would be INSANE!
I appreciate you being transparent like when you mentioned obviously you getting a profit from the group trip coming up. And you’re right you have not been trying to scam us some players videos I watch and every time I watch it they’re trying to sell me something so I appreciate that. See you in New York 🎉safe travels
I got to do NYC IRL Go Fest last year. It was right up there with when I went to WrestleMania and the World Series. If you love PoGo then it's a must. I'll be going again this year 😎
Nice! This is my first ever go fest in person. I’m also going to nyc! I live across the country from nyc so I’m extra excited
How did you get to randalls island?
@xeno9505 most people that I saw took the subway up to 125th street in Manhattan and walked across the RFK bridge, but I'm pretty sure there are a couple other options too
@@xeno9505you can take an express bus, walk across the bridge or take the ferry.
@@xeno9505 you trying to go?
I love going to in-person events for Pogo. I have been to 8 in person events. either Go Fests, Tours or safari zones. They have always been worth it because I get to travel to a city and experience it in a way I never would. Also, international travel with a purpose is amazing. You go to these events and there are thousands of other players to join raids with, share an experience with, and celebrate rare catches with.
Totally agree with your view. This year’s NYC Go Fest will be my very first IRL event I attend and I’m super stoked about it. I got family in the manhattan area so it’s also a great opportunity to catch up with them, especially with 4th of July being right before the event lol.
fellow 23 year old yapper here. i'm loving these yap seshes 😂 also my boyfriend and i are turning NYC go fest into a week long NYC trip (for july 4th)! in case anyone was wondering, we've budgeted ~$2500 total (for the both of us). flying in from NC. extremely excited since we'll both get to see family as well!
04:00 a lot of California towns and cities actually have that pedestrian bridge design over roads and highways. Kind of cool actually.
Hey Dax, great perspective. I love what you said about just getting out there and breaking out of your personal bubble. I went to sinnoh tour in la by myself and didn't talk to anyone until the very end and super regretted not interacting with others. Appreciate the real content and the deep introspection. Keep it up even if it doesn't get the most views.
Will do - and don't regret that it taught you a lesson so next time your gonna have an amazing time!! everything is a lesson
“I don’t just go to bed like an NPC” 😂😂😂
daxi out here motivational speaking
I'd love to travel for Pokemon Go. It would be the catalyst that would bring me to new places and trying new things tbh.
Buy a car and travel and figure out how to make money on the the road and have money for hotels and motels you can do it... Go on trainer
Can't wait to go to New York Go Fest in July!!
Same!!
Your conclusion of "it depends" is very honest. I like your points about treating it as a vacation with GoFest as one of the perks. Can you play Pokemon Go at locally and have fun? Of course. Is it more fun with friends? Yeah. Then, if you want to go someplace with friends for a new experience and can all afford it, why not? It's a bit like your planned trip: that isn't even during GoFest but people who go will get a cool Pokemon Go experience with a UA-camr they like and more beyond that with all the visits and and activities thrown in. In this life, you only have so much time and so much money, the trick is to make the most of what you have.
When I saw they were hosting in NY last year I told myself I have to go I’m in Philadelphia so it was close enough to drive. Had an absolute blast and I’m going again this year because who knows where it will be next year I can’t wait!
They should make a winter go fest in Arizona sometime! It's 120 degrees in the summer here so it ruins the good summer events
Yes! A tour! That would be awesome!!!
The guy from "Into the Wild" was born 10mins from me. His story is absolutely insane
goind to therapy is nothing wrong these days, world is moving so fast its not a shame to not always catch up.. i appreciate Your videos, cause in the end we are all humans with ups and downs... its important tho think all of aspects of our lives and not to hide behind only the good ones. We need to face them all. Love and hugs from Poland to every trainers out there. Keep figthing You beautiful creatures

Hey, that's me, I noticed a nice young man in Sendai and I decided to follow him afterwards. I became fascinated with you and I found out everything about you. See you in Madrid in a week from now. We'd be on the same plane.
(this is a joke, I am not the Japanese woman, I gotta make a disclaimer for people in the comments :D Love the vids, please make them deep and therapy-ish i love that vibe)
We’re doing NY for only about 1400 including the plane tickets from the 4th-9th. That’s with 3 people and a pretty good hotel (Romer Hell’s Kitchen). It’s very doable to do New York for (relatively) cheap. And food is everywhere and you can either eat expensive or cheap. I’ll be eating at all the pizza places and I’m so excited! Hope to see you around!
ill be there!
we're 2 people with a hotel in times square, same dates (4-9) - $1400 too! we also budgeted an additional $1k for sightseeing and food 😂 but it's very doable! where are you traveling from? we're in charlotte NC
@@paulinexong we’re coming from the middle of Missouri! Totally worth it :)
We can match with our pace breakers 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️ the shiny grind doesn’t stop!
Las Vegas Tour was rough the 1st hour or two with internet issues. Glad LA one was better
To this day, I still believe Niantic is getting SOME sort of kickback from the airlines that transport all these players.
Probably some sort of deal with the cities
My Lord shut it with your damn word vommit.
Maybe.. I'm guessing PoGo IRL is held like a Superbowl or a World Series
Very interesting theory
"experiences are what create you and your personality" - Daxi dropping absolute nukes of wisdom
damn did I say that - im wise FR
I’ve been going to go fest since 2019 Chicago. I haven’t missed one since then and my biggest reason for going is the memories that I create with my friends. Your view on “it depends” going to PoGo fest is worth it, is def valid. You hit all the major points. To each their own 🎉💚I personally enjoy doing both🎉 going to pogo fest and participating in global pogo fest.
$30 with travel to enjoy new experiences with friends/fam in a new environment(this year - NYC in particular def has the food and attractions to back it up to being fun imo). I know that the price for the pogo fest ticket and bonuses tends to inflate way more than $30, believe me my wallet hurt but I know for me at least it’ll be worth it. I do plan to raid and walk my butt off trying to get as many shinies as I can. The XP and stardust gains are a nice bonus
$15 global ticket gives the opportunity to those of us already traveling to try again for shinies we missed out. And still have a fun experience at the comfort of home with friends/fam (cuz I do plan to stay locally in my community for pogo fest global).
My group of friends and others from our pogo community have even made a competition amongst ourselves to see who’s getting the most shinies while we visit NYC, another fun challenge we made to bond us in the future 🎉
Yeah must have daddy and Mommy's money
I really appreciate your maturity at 23 years old. You've got some great fundamental life concepts nailed. Some people take decades to get there. Kudos to you and your therapist! Seems like a lot of stoicism influence. Good job. These skills as an emotional masterball! Yes dude.
I love in-person go fests! I try to go to at least one live event per year. For me it is the combination of being in a different country, the high of playing my favourite game at its peak of fun and the end of the day satisfaction. It’s a vacation++. Im used to working >50 hour weeks and I use quite a lot of my spare time on PoGo so for me it’s the perfect combination of factors for a holiday. Also.. hope to see you in Madrid! Have a small gift for you 🙌🏼
I appreciate all the Pokémon go players and their content! It’s really cool you can travel and play this addicting game. But the way you speak and hold yourself is very genuine and kind. I find myself watching mainly your videos now , it’s very refreshing! Hope it was a fun and exciting trip 😊
Hey Dax, I have never agreed more with everything you have said. You are a great guy who makes great videos and you tell the truth and doesn't say how we should quit the game just because of one crappy update. You also just make your videos great ( I have watched your Sendai Japan Go fest live streams 4 times to be exact) and I just want to say that you make everyone's day so much better. I also agree with you about how everyone needs to not overthink things and they should go ahead and calm down just to make sure they don't have two tress attacks. My last thing I want to say is that I'm so glad you keep up your Pokémon go journey and I hope that you keep with them for as long as you can.
Thank you Kermit!!!!
Your welcome man, just trying to help the channel and help it grow 😁
If theres one thing you need to try its conveyor belt sushi. Its so much fun, super cheap and easy to manage because its priced off plate colour.
Thank you for the sincerity Daxi. I've never been to a GO Fest and I'm more willing to go as more and more events passes by. Obvsiously for the perks in the game but for the eperience and meeting people that have the same tastes in this game.
I always played Pokemon GO alone (except in the beginning and in certain circunstances) and t's a good experience because I always liked the pokemon main line games but... it's hard to play alone and in some specific times or locations hide what i'm doing, because it's a kid's game, right?... But I think it's only life.
Your experience and insight about travels, money spent and why or shoud we do it it's good to hear.
I'm from Portugal and 33 right now and never like Pokemon games more than now and only who grew with the games or cards or whatever knows what I feel and it's hard to explain to someone that don't know the feeling.
Did you ever know of a policeman as a profession tha plays Pokemon GO? Not in service, of course...
I hope I'll have at least one experience in a GO Fest someday.
👍Thanks again!
ok i see you with the fit check 😂😂
this episode was really good everything you saying about going out experiencing and exploring its so true life is so beautiful and its the small things that keep you going the world is huge and theres more to it
The raw uncut footage was genuinely nice considering Pokémon go content from creator to creator can feel very repetitive and require forced excitement.
Realistically, my best chances of going to in person events will be ones that are held in the UK. I went to London Go Fest and had an amazing time!
I hope that Niantic holds more events in the UK soon!
I can suggest how to solve the two Pokemon overlap issue, when players tap Pokemon overlapped, one of the Pokemon always appears in catching screen.
Suggested overcome method
Mechanic updated by tapping one overlapped Pokemon and got out from catching screen and tapping again the overlapped Pokemon another Pokemon appears in the catching screen.
This mechanic can be applied when a Pokemon overlaps with Pokestop and Gym too.
This overlapping issue looks like Niantic doesn't care about it.
I'd absolutely love meeting some well known pogo UA-cam vlogers. I've always enjoyed traveling inside the the USA for particular conventions, and meeting particular people. Even had a traveling job in my early 20s' which I enjoyed a bunch. Only done global gofest so far
if you come to new york we will be there!
This is a nice take, glad you mentioned social anxiety. Let me tell you - I'm autistic and have social anxiety. I've only been to Sevilla and Barcelona safaris (I'm from Spain) and even though it got a bit overstimulating and I was drained afterwards, I had a blast both times. Better the first time because I travelled with a group of friends, second time I went solo. Still worth it. Would've gone to NY if I could afford it, but well, we'll see next year's 😊
I have only seen Canada and that's it. Everything is so expensive these days, but one day I hope to make it to Japan at least once it my life. I love your yapping videos tho. Its like I have an actual friend haha Will see you in NYC!
My family has been playing for about four years now. We enjoyed the global events, but really felt like we were missing out on the live events. We went to New York Go Fest last year and are heading back this year. It was incredible! If you can, you should.
Good word on spending the cash for the add-ons! If someone is paying to fly out, their stay, food, etc the $100 for the add-ons(raid lover, eggs, even incubators & starpiece/lucky eggs) is a no brainer 👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve now gone to the last 3 events including New York last year and I think they’re worth it as long as you’re an active player still enjoying the content (for the most part) and if you can find yourself enjoying the city you’re in. I love the city of New York and hope to have another good experience but I do hope they branch out and do another location next year.
I have done 3 solo trips to Go Fest- seattle, Vegas, and NYC.
I have spoken to several players, but yes, it can be very lonely as most players are interverts. But since there is so much going on during the entire event, you don't feel it much. Also, there are tones of solo players. Not very many females like myself. BUT I never come out of the trip with regrets!
to answer the question from this video. i have never been to a pokemon gofest before. but the eindhoven city community is quite big. so if there is something like shadow mewtwo raid day to me that already feels like a gofest. man its so much fun. i will for sure one day visit a europe gofest. but im constantly visiting new villages, towns or cities in the netherlands or close to the border. its just so much fun tryin to find as many new pokestops. sometimes i find really good ones that i otherwise would have missed like the red model castle of the castle of helmond hehe.
I felt like I was there with you due to your high quality videos, plus thanks to a Japanese friend I got invited to several remote raids & caught a Necrozma & several other raid bosses. Thank you for your high quality content ❤
Congrats on grabbing the necrozma!
Went to first IRL Go Fest in London last year best experience but travel from Paris wasn't that expensive. And bonus I met you and Poke Mama. Going to Madrid this year based on last years experience. I would love a Go Fest in Australia. I think people want to go there and would be excellent.
Id say go fest is very worth it, im bringing friends, family, pokemon plushies for luck, and my 2023 go fest pin I can't wait for NYC pokemon go fest im trying to stay patient.
Worth it if you live close, paying thousands to go is definitely not and I don’t care what anyone says
You're literally such a breath of fresh air for the PoGo community
I went to vegas hoenn tour and will go to nyc go fest. I went with my family. It was a blast and i do agree you will have random moments you will remember. Mine will be meeting mystic 7 and getting shiny feebas in a seebass restaurant. And meeting someone who claimed the had bad luck despite getting a shundo spinda and a shnundo. I would say it is fun but the novelty of seeing tens of thousands of people playing in an area begins to wear off and it can feel like a normal global shiny grind. Worth it imo but not sure id call it magical
I went to New York go fest last year and it was way below my expectations, I didn’t see any increased shiny rates, and I think it was too hot for people to really be hanging out. But I am willing to give it another chance and am trying to figure out what day I’m gonna go back
Do you think that the in person Go Fests this year are offering enough exclusive content compared to the Global one? The two events seem almost identical. I feel like the in person events should offer even more exclusive content to attendees, not just getting certain mons a few weeks earlier than other players.
Also the events themselves need some more diverse content. Seems like the creators who went to Sendai basically repeated the same city experience day after day. I’d like to see more content - maybe involve team rocket and let players toggle that on/off like they can with the rocket radar.
INtresting takes - I think its same as most years - the biggest diff is in the in person opportunities you get from IRL go fest
I have never been to an in person go fest, but I am moving to Japan in a little over a month so I surely will then!
OMG living in japan sounds amazing
I'm late to the question of the day but I went to New York go fest last year and it was a magical experience. I actually wanted to go to Japan this year but it would overlap with a family trip to Japan anyway so I couldn't do both but I'm still excited to go soon! I think it's worth going if you can afford to go, but I will also say that because New York this year is on the 4th of July week, it's gonna be way busier than last year which is why we're passing but we'll still play global forsure.
I love the in person gofests they are phenomenal! Going back to NYC GoFest 2nd year in a row ❤
Going to NY is definitely doable for under $1000. I have mine planned out for around $700. Everything, including your uber prices, can be calculated before you go. And I'm booking with Hiltons.
yes if you know where to look
Thanks for the yap session 😊👍🏼 enjoyed it this morning whilst drinking some coffee.
I went to a Go Fest, but the only people who interacted with me were people asking (some demanding) I trade them regionals because they assumed I was from somewhere else. One person kept accusing me of lying when I said I lived there and didn't have other regionals. lol
It wasn't "social", but it was still fun.
What a great video. Real genuine content with your point of views.
I wish someday that GO Fest will be at home here in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
There are so many cities in america that could use a Go Fest, NYC has enough, some cities would really benefit
On the topic of social anxiety: While teaching kiddos with special needs, my non-verbal students had cards to request certain rewards at the end of the day. I ended up forgetting one in my pocket at the end of the day. After grocery shopping, I went to pull out my card to pay, and ended up handing the cashier a Teletubbies card! I was so embarrassed, it took me months to go back to that store, but now I don't even remember what they look like.
PokeDaxi with the real content - props to putting out these play sessions- on the media side of things I think people are looking for less edited more real world content - out of the office and studios and onto the streets 🎉🎉🎉
Ya agreed and something ive been considering
I've never been to a go fest but I have been to a few big raid days with large groups and they where a blast. Now if I ever had the money I would go in a heartbeat. Wish I could have gone to this one all the ultra beast u could max so much easier. Now where would I like to go for a go fest. Easy Seoul. Also I wish the US location was anywhere but New York did they need to pick one of the most expensive places to do it. Also when do they release when these will be for next year i really wanna try and go next time.
Would love to go to an IRL Gofest, from what we get to see of content creators, it does look like an amazing experience to have. Harsh reality is different countries have different levels of cost of living, so for me personally, I simply can't justify the cost atm (just a single flight alone averages 3K to Japan for instance, so your entire cost for 2 Gofests spread over a month long trip, would barely cover a single Gofest lasting a week or 2 for me). Maybe one day Aussie will get a GoFest & the economy will be a little better, as flights there are a lot cheaper & do-able than flights to anywhere else lol.
Something I do wish Niantic would consider is being a little more even in their distribution of events- surely most countries could get a safari zone or themed event at least once every couple of years instead of it being the same places over & over again getting them & everyone else missing out altogether... I'm in New Zealand & about the only time we get non global events is when Niantic stuff up & we get some of another countries event spawns for an hour or 2.... which Niantic then generally remove from our accounts anyway, yet the few regionals we have here, seem to get handed out like candy to global players during their events, it just seems very lopsided- either region lock pokemon & force us to trade or travel to get them, or make all the region locked pokemon available everywhere global during events so everyone gets a chance to catch regionals they wouldn't otherwise get. That's my 2cents anyway.
if there was a go fest within Canada I would probably go to it, though its somewhat dependant on me still being financially stable when/if they ever had one in Canada, and also if they had stuff I was actually interested in during that specific event
Are the fusions good for raiding
yes both top in thier types
From just having attended Go Fest Madrid for my first in person event, it most definitely depends on your situation. Are you going alone, are you going with friends or are you going with family. Not only that but if you do go with other people, are they on the same page as you when it comes to playing Pogo. For my situation, i went with family intending on making it a family trip in conjunction with playing Pogo however, it did not go as intended. Dont get me wrong, it was amazing spending time with the family and seeing Madrid but they were not on the same page as me when grinding raids/shinies. i felt i fell a bit short when it came to raiding Necrozma. 80 raids and no Shiny!? wish i would have went a little harder on the raids but again going with Fam and them wanting to do other things made it a bit challenging to do raids.
I restarted in 2022 and this year will be my first in-person GO fest, albeit the global one, but I will still enjoy it. Hopefully next year I can go to a specific location (preferably somewhere in the US and not too far away lol).
Daxis got to ge the friendliest French person ever
LMAO
I've attended 3 in person events and if it's worth it or not imo is dependent on how big of a priority the game is to you. If it'd within your budget and you absolutely love the game imo it's worth it.
First Week Daily Player here. Lucky to travel a lot in life. Pokémon Go certainly enhances your experience if you are able to travel. I went to my first in person event last year in NYC. I live in American South but have friends who live in NYC so was able to stay for FREE. I also had flight credits but there was also a bunch of stuff that happened to be in NYC and the Jersey Shore that weekend I wanted to do. For all those reasons it was super worth it and a ton of fun! Also got some seriously rare Pokémon trading with strangers which was dope. Saw some UA-camrs irl too which was an added bonus. I do agree with you - it really is person specific. I intently watch multiple UA-camrs from each event and really have serious FOMO when I’m not there, especially since I got a taste of how excellent the events in person really are. 👏👏👏👏
I got very lucky, I’m on deployment and at the start of it. I decided to play Pokemon go. I was fortunate to go to sendai. It was just a 4 hour train ride from where I’m deployed at. That is the plus side of being in the military. Getting to travel for free.
For the trip to Mexico, hope all goes well! I unfortunately cannot make it as I have doctoral school starting then. But I think for the next one it would be more exciting to get it piggybacked onto a GoFest… like maybe right before Madrid? In the same location so people will already be there and only leave a few days prior. Or somewhere around there. I think many who have summer off would rather it be in those months then the fall 😀
Thanks for feedback - not a bad idea do a little go fest + travel thing
I went to LA for Sinnoh tour. My first ever in person event. I had just come back to the game after 3 years of being away. And I LOVED it. I’m from California. So it was much cheaper. I just drove down about 5 hours and stayed with family. Definable going to a Go fest next time it’s closer to me.
One of my favourite quotes from Into The Wild is "Happiness only true when shared"
You are my favourite pokemon content creator and i am so happy to see you traveling and spending time with other creators. Keep up the great content
I’m going to NYC GO Fest for the 2nd year in a row because I am from Long Island which is not far from the city
I went to New York 2023 go fest because my old college roommate lives there now, really fun Pokémon go event and overall amazing trip I wish I could do again
The only issue I have is that NYC got Go Fest twice in a row… please give DC, Boston, Philly, somewhere else on the east coast an opportunity Niantic :c
I live in Virginia, 4 hours from NYC and I am doing my 2nd GoFest there for under $1000. Booked hotel and train tickets in early May. Traveling internationally is always going to be way more expensive ❤
Thanks for a great video, Daxi ☺️When you went to GoFest this year did you invest in a SIM card for your phone?
Honestly one of my dreams is going to Japan not really because of pokemon go but cause of the tcg and the place itself ngl, love from brazil
I’m ok traveling like a spartan. And luckily, my cousins live across the river in Jersey, only 45 min from Manhattan on the train. If I fly spirit and go for the weekend and know people that can give me a place to stay, I can easily do New York for well undser $1k
QOTD: how difficult is it behind the scenes with editing, idea creation for content, scheduling, and even learning how to use the equipment and navigating with finding a team to help with the production of a YT channel?
I honestly wouldn't go out of my way to travel that far East to attend Pogo. Appreciate these videos man! Good job on the shinies 😮
I would like to go to a in person fest one day. At this point I don't think Australia is ever getting one let a lone a safari zone.
Least you have the benefit on claiming it on tax as a business expense Dax
I've always been terrified of pursuing therapy for the possible result of being committed to a psych ward for something I mention being perceived entirely wrong. Especially from experiences in High School where my counselor thought I was suicidal so really don't want to waste time and money on therapy even though my new uplifting friends I've met since moving last Halloween. They all recommend me trying it... just feel it'd be a waste
I did NYC go fest last year, and that was hella worth it. But we also turned it into a general NYC trip that just happened to have PoGO, even though that was the main reason we went.
I've never been to an IRL go fest, but I've been to a "Go fest Global" In the local mall. It felt like an IRL Go fest though, and it was quite fun. Now that my friend bought my ticket it should be a wild time! Also i played in the local park recently and I saw someone with a Go ++ (as i was playing myself) but I did not know that person. How do you go up to someone and say "Hey I play pogo too want to play with me? I cant do that. Im also a free to play player. Until my friend asks if i want a ticket to go to go fest.
There was one time in Vermont, I can't remember the year, but it was the first time Enty (?) came out, everyone else got the pokemon but me. It was the first ever in person raid i've ever done, even though I didn't get it, it took us all. And when the Ultra beasts came out, it was a local raid but i just remember playing with everyone!
Also thank you for being you doll!
So glad nyc is a 4 hour drive from me and we prolly will only need one night of a hotel

Amazing video Daxi. Hope I can talk to you in person if you're going to NYC about your Mexico City trip. I went last year for Safari City and it was so good 😀
I’m in NZ and am 99% sure there would never be a GoFest here (though they totally owe us for all the guinea pigging we do for them) so I’d have to travel. If it was in Australia I’d definitely consider going but further afield it starts getting very expensive and I’m not sure if I could justify the cost:benefit ratio. Japan would be fun but it would have to be part of a larger vacation, not the sole reason to go. I hate that they nerf the Global version though, being able to attend IRL is something most players will never be able to do and yet we’re made to feel like second class players.
Have fun dude you're awesome and thank you for so many insightful thoughts you shared!
i think i would be able to play go fest madrid as a dutchy for 1000 euro's or maybe a little bit more. i think that 2k mark ur givin is already near the top limit for your nearest go fest location
