Dead Dead Ya I’m part of the small part of the community that cares about what pokeball my Pokémon is in. Tho I will be using the ultra ball and great balls for Pokémon I don’t care about but those that will be in my competitive team I will attempt to put them in premier balls.
I can share ur opinion only partly; while it's ok to catch pkmn with it, outside from battles it's complete garbage to navigate through the menu. I mean shaking this thing quite intensely to press "X/Y" is annoying and pressing "A" sometimes leads u to accidentally direct up/down/sideways. Luckily u can mute it. Also it's way too expensive.
Just starting Pokemon Let's Go a couple of weeks ago, (I'm a Pokemon Go fan with no previous Pokemon experience) this video has totally modified my view of the games.
I don’t usually find the gaming corner of UA-cam particularly entertaining. However, as a lifelong Pokemon nerd of the nineties with a dry and twisted sense of humour, I found this video to be a thing of beauty. Thank you 😘
eevee can get better unique moves (90 base power) to compensate for evolutions. While pikachu just gets one that has 50 base power and has more type disadvantages..... I still picked pikachu tho, cus i'm a fekin sheep.
This will help in my Let's Play series as I'm a total N00B when it comes to Pokemon. I'm loving it right now and I'm hoping this will be my gateway into more hardcore Pokemon games.
I was actually surprised at how cool and how much easier the Pokeball Plus made certain aspects of the game. Especially when compared to using the Joycon.
Literally just subscribed because of, "buy a bursting bonker-loaded burger bucket of spray potions..." just... how did these magical words ooze out of your mouth from your brain?!
This was funny as hell. How have I not been to this channel before. Also tha is for letting me know eating the candies isnt a big deal. I'm just stocking them till late game. Lol
I love all the tips EXCEPT not buying Balls. If you are going for Shinies, low-spawn rares (such as the Charmander on Route 3) or lots of candies for EVs, you want to do Chain Catch Combos usually up to about 12. That's at least 7 to 12+ Balls eaten up per Rare Catch. That itself is a lot of your "free" Balls used up.
Actually, to get the best chance of getting a shiny (without the shiny charm) you'll want to get a chain of 31 going on that specific pokemon. After you've caught 31, just sit back and avoid catching any so as not to ruin your combo, and wait for a shiny to spawn. You'll have around a 1 in 340ish chance I think. Oh and after getting a 31 combo the max IV a pokemon can spawn with will be 6 IVs, so its a good way to find wild high IV pokemon :)
brkr you can run from all the Pokémon that aren’t the one you’re trying to catch. You also do not have to catch every one that appears on screen, only the ones you attempt to capture. Combos are pretty easy to keep going and not very punishing at all.
Small point about the likeable plus, if you put a pokemon in it and go on with your daily tasks of going shopping, to work or school the pokemon in the ball will keep gathering xp, so it's great if you want a pokemon in your team but it's got low xp... since we don't have the lucky egg anymore, is our best bet.
Solid Snake. wow. That's gold. and finally, we can rename our pokemon with ease!! Never understood why they limited us so severely with that. If they really are intelligent animals, you should be able to re-negotiate their name xD
The whole video was brilliant, but the section about Pokémon types was the funniest thing I've heard all week. Thanks Tim and Kotaku!
Getting Tim to do videos was the finest decision Kotaku ever made.
in a "mortally-wounded soldier throwing himself onto a grenade" sense, perhaps
"Professor Oak will boil down the hair skin, sinewy meat, chalky bones, greasy marrow and gelatinous viscera of our unwanted beasts until only candy remains"
Ok I'm buying a Switch...
LMFAO on how you crafted a story about how Professor Oak makes candy from butchering unwanted pokemon
Doesn't everyone know that he grinds down your pokemon into candy?
Game theory that’s how not his idea
HAHAHAHA
@@samuelcontreras9248 your comment has an opinion for translation. lol
9:08 and here's a tip for *you* : you can buy 10 units at a time by moving right instead of up
I don't know how much you're earning. But it isn't enough. Pay him more, capitalism.
So you're saying they have free healthcare or something? Nice.
I giggled at "birds fly south because their food is dead" but I lost it at printing a chart and lying that it is your chart for your crohns disease. Well played.
Lol i actually do have crohns so it gave me an i relate laugh :P
nice . . . we're crohn's buddies, then

The office printer gag had me in tears. I love you, Tim Rogers.
Okay Onix = Solid Snake..... A+
Does this narrator have his own channel? He's great! I want more
Kotaku has a playlist for Tim Rogers videos that I highly recommend. Check out the FFVII series
He does now, at Action Button Reviews.
@@Crooked_Mantis hey thank you!
@@Viraus2 thanks
i got chills of the accuracy about the memorizing of the types. i really have a chart to check because its been 15 years i played RBY 😂
Your dark humor is what I've been looking for for ages
I've always thought of rock being weak to grass like weeds growing in the cracks in the sidewalk
Tim, you are the best. Seriously, you convinced me to buy Dragon Quest XI. This one was awesome too.

@@turnipbutter2492 Nebby? In the bag? Ha, I think not.
LOVE this guy! The only reason I would watch a long video on this stripped down game
This is the finest narration of any video ever
Tip: Don’t buy pokeball
Me:But but I want my premier balls T_T
You get them from being great and ultra balls anyway
Dead Dead
Ya I’m part of the small part of the community that cares about what pokeball my Pokémon is in. Tho I will be using the ultra ball and great balls for Pokémon I don’t care about but those that will be in my competitive team I will attempt to put them in premier balls.
Also, Chain Catch Combos eat a lot of Balls.
I have 200 pokeball and im 3 gyms in, i just chuck till i catch or they run cause either they're everywhere or id have it on Go
Premier Balls are my favourite. ;w;
Tim is getting me way too Excited about random tips
you can also avoid trainers by flying on charizard/aerodactyl/dragonite
God I love the way he talks about Pokémon lol. 4 layers of metaphorical and literal prison lmao
I love how about halfway through the video it becomes Team Rocket Propaganda lmaooo
This guy should be the voice for all Kotaku videos
I absolutely loved this. Professor Oak the Butcher!
Btw the pokeball plus is an awesome way of leveling up your pokemon quickly
I disagree about pokeball plus, it's really fun to use, no probs at all.
blink twice if you are being pointed with a gun
I agree it's easy to use and having my switch docked and laying down and using that ball is really nice. Catching with that is super easy
it almost costs as much as the game itself.Not worth it in my opinion
I can share ur opinion only partly; while it's ok to catch pkmn with it, outside from battles it's complete garbage to navigate through the menu.

The pokeball is more worth if you bought it with the bundle switch pack
This guys actually hilarious. Most stuff like this is annoying but I found myself literally lol’ing frequently. Well done lol

Pikachu gets a stab bonus on his tho
Actually, Pikachu can get a water type and flying type move later in the game to compensate for its type disadvantages.
It also has priority and always crits so 50BP doesn't tell the whole story. But yeah Eevee's are way better.
The description of how candies are made made me pause the video, like, subscribe, and turn on notifications. You’re awesome, thank you for the laughs!

.....my Pokeball plus came with my switch and the Pokémon game lol. I actually enjoy using it more than the regular joycon tbh
Your wittiness caused me to subscribe…Yay!
idk how anyone could dislike this video. this was hilarious and informative 👏
Never seen a video by this guy, but instant fan. that was great stuff friend, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tim Rodgers should leave Kotaku and start his own shit.
More of this please. This was absolutely hilarious.
I was cracking all the time. But holy fuck I lost it at Onyx so hard I just start coughing xD
You sir. The voice of this video. Are amazing. Great job. Funny but still interested! Keep it up.
Literally the most entertaining tips in game history, kudos.

Literally just subscribed because of, "buy a bursting bonker-loaded burger bucket of spray potions..." just... how did these magical words ooze out of your mouth from your brain?!
I love this so much. It’s not even the game I care about at this point, he’s just so great at this
I love the narration. My new fav channel.
CANDY - this was awesome :D thanks for making me laugh loudly at work :D
I love all of this!
Weird I haven’t stumbled onto your videos before
You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Just what I was looking for (with a load of extra whimsy) I fully appreciate it 😄
I like this narrator. I liked when he went crazy on how you can't catch them all. I mean you literally can't catch them all.
I have to say I love the narrator of this video.His explanations/side rants/cynical attitude is hilarious.
I was not expecting this video, but it was glorious
"Send the diabolical professor your superfluous captive animals"
I find Tims voice so soothing, I just wanna listen to it all day,
Omg you are hilarious good sir. The office part made me laugh 😂
Best fucking review ever. This guy does deserve his own channel...love the style.
Holy crap this guy is hilarious...I've never seen Kotaku's videos. I'm now a devout fan!
Love your commentary! So fun!
The Pokémon types part. I felt like you knew that is exactly what I would do
This was funny as hell. How have I not been to this channel before. Also tha is for letting me know eating the candies isnt a big deal. I'm just stocking them till late game. Lol
If you're worried about making the titles less viral friendly, you could just put (TR) in the title.
I’ve never laughed so hard...thanks! I really needed to know which one to drape clothes on!
I don't know who this guy is but he's hilarious. Great video
Omfg this is amazing!
I love how it got more intense as time went on.

@@sadielapiers1847 Do you have to encounter them after 31? And run away? Or can you just run around and not interact with anyo f them?
This video is clearly aimed at beginners, not for people EV training or shiny hunting

the editing and narration of this video made it hilarious
i was rolling on my floor with this vid lololol you got a sub from me just for the comedy... he said all the things im thinking about pokemon
3 years later.. i just bought the gane and .csme across your video..a win, win for me. ☕
I love your description of sending Pokemon to Prof Oak
Thanks for this, when I get a swintendo, I’ll use these tips
Lol loved it. Stumbled onto this vid and made me subscribe.
LOL This guy is the only reason why I visit Kotaku channel lol
Tip: You can use the triggers as the A button. That way when playing one-handed you don't have to move your thumb to the face buttons as often!
Clicking the joystick also works as the A button.
Why am I not subscribed? nice video man! :D
I have fond memories of playing my red version. I got the game and game boy on my 5th birthday.
Whos that pokemon? Its Tom Rigers.
The rarest of pokemon indeed. No DL codes to get this guy.
8:10 trying to get kids *diabetes*
The catch em all bit killed me😂
This made my laugh more than it should.
I'm pretty sure mostly everyone knew these tips already but the narrator was funny
Amazing, this video is pure joy mixed some tips. Thank you
Even with level 100’s I still love watching a bellsprout hop along in front of me leading the way 😁
Yes! Another Tim Rogers video.
You can catch them all via the online Nintendo services or Pokemon
Your commentary made me hit like and subscribe LOL
That caramel skin tone so fine
I laughed so hard at the "You can't catch them all" rant!
What hot tips from my two favorite game likers, Tim Rogers and Gita Jackson!
Greatest narration ever.
That moment when you sound like a text-to-speech bot
God i love this channel!! @.@
It’s not a remake of red and blue, it’s a remake of yellow
I'd really like a background music list for this, great video too!
I stumbled here, and I am joyous for my accident has led me to the delights of Tim Rogers. Who is this man, this legend? Where can I hear some more?
Last time I played Pokémon it’s was 15 years ago and I still remember the combat advantages.
Fantastic video! I will say that I absolutely love the Pokeball Plus though
Solid Snake. wow. That's gold. and finally, we can rename our pokemon with ease!! Never understood why they limited us so severely with that. If they really are intelligent animals, you should be able to re-negotiate their name xD
I have ever single main Pokémon game and so I like them all
