I appreciate the transparency and I think you are a good example how hard work and honestly really pays off in the long run. I hope Niantic works with your directly again in the future (interviews, player feedback, etc). You are great!
I had just started playing Pokémon Go when this happened. I was still learning the game and was kind of scared and confused because I heard the top player in the world had received a ban from the game. I wasn’t watching UA-cam at all so I really didn’t know anything. Until right now, I never knew the actual reason. I only knew it was a breach in the terms. Now I understand why and I admire Brandon even more. He didn’t realize what he was doing was wrong, and he has never blamed Niantic for the situation. I really respect Brandon’s ideals and can’t even begin to imagine the dedication to the game and all the energy it take to play this game so whole heartedly. I like playing but consider myself a casual player. I play every day but have only made it to level 42 so far. I have learned a lot from Brandon on UA-cam as well as watching Billy, Nick and Zoe. I watch other players but you guys are my favorite players. You guys make playing Pokémon even more fun for me. Thanks Brandon for telling this story and thank you for your videos and for sharing your expertise. 😊
He knew what he was doing. He was making money off pkmn go by offering in game services. He helped countless ppl cheat and got what he deserved, as with anybody else in the game that has been caught up.
@@GahmConrad 😂. I have been lucky to maximize some of my play by using tips from Brandon and the other utubbers who offer lots of great advice. I am also retired so I can go out whenever I want. But I do have a life outside of Pokémon. Just have fun no matter where you are on the scale. Thanks for your kind remarks. 😊
Are you new or old ? This sounds so suspicious because you just said you started playing and then you have played for a long time … this doesn’t sound right and legit, just like another fan who don’t know that this man cheats .
You are my inspiration. Such talent and such hard working guy. We support you . In this situation we all are with you. Love your content. Love from india
I never thought Niactic would ever ban such a hardcore and nice guy. I really appreciate that you left the service and went the better way. We all love you content.
Same here Isaac Pogo. Content has been great, and one of the only You Tubers that still produce content on a consistent basis. I was fortunate to do a raid with Brandon Tan91. Have the screenshot saved. Thanks my friend!
The good thing is he can legitimately help ppl now get them their hundos in a legit manner just inviting them to raids. If he decides to spend. In a way this is a win win for him cause he does what he loves ,helps all his friends and family and everything. Good job Brandon for keeping it real with ur subscribers! Keep up the good work
Ninatic should thank Brandon for being one of the people who kept the game alive through PoGo yt contents. Yes, lets say what he did is bannable, but bro, hes one of the people who made PoGo contents that helped people get into playing it.
Ur genuinely a good guy glad u talked about how u learned not to do the easiest route to ur goal even tho Niantic didn't mean to help u they did 🤣 good story thx
I really enjoy your videos. Good for you, and for us in the Pokemon Go Community, that you decided to get back into UA-cam. Keep up the good work and being who you are.🙂
I first started watching Brandon when he played clash of clash. Really love all the videos you put out here and the amount of raiding you do is just simoly amazing. I wish i had money to do 69 raids a day!
You've helped me get back into the game. Glad to know how you changed it around and became an ambassador. I started in 2016 quit and been on since 2020. Your videos have helped alot. Keep up the content. 💯🙏😎
i like how not hurting anyone else in the game can get you banned but other games where you play on someones account for pvp doesnt get you banned when it should
Everyone makes mistakes. It just makes us stronger. Really nice video Brandon, finally i understand what happened. I knew it was something close to this, but not this far in depth what it was. Keep on making these great videos! Nobody beats you in terms of both PoGo playing, and making videos about it :D
My original account was banned because I used a third party app that allowed a lot of necessary pokemon management. This was before mass transfer. It allowed you to mass transfer, mass rename and mass evolve, when you could level by accumulating dozens of Pidgeys and rattatas and then popping an XP egg (not really necessary these days). I was super bummed, especially because the three strikes rule was only added a month later.
Oh, that was YOU! I only started following you within the last year. Your videos have helped me with the team rocket bosses and Giovanni. Before that, I didn't know about you... or so I thought. Reading the comments, I found that, that top PoGo player that got banned for 30days was you. I remember my fiance and I were mocking Niantic for banning you, thinking they were out to get you because you're one of the top players. Glad to know you came out with a positive effect. I'm glad you're making videos. I really enjoy them! Thank you for all your help!
If I recall correctly, all of the circumstances of the ban were known at the time, I recall the graphic with the mewtwo prices going around. However, it's interesting learning about how it affected Brandon personally. Congratulations on making more than $9000/month via youtube nowadays!
Even Brandon had a bad boy background, bro was making good money doing those services💰 aye I don’t blame you bro they don’t wanna see us get this money 😒 hello from Florida 🌴love the content 👍🏽
i love your game play and understand the need for more i to need more play hard what they give is to soft need the grind hope all is well with you grind hard see you on the flip side
Glad you are making You Tube videos these days. My son and I really enjoy watch your videos. I am curious about you tube creators, before you tube and Pokémon go what did you do for a living?
I always admire your effort and dedication in playing this lovely game... And i always follow your path keep making beatiful contect like this 😍😍😍always here to support you sir 😍😍
Hi I am a player from NZ, good news, just found the distance to the gym and poke stops was changed back, not sure if this is temporary (we are under lock down at the moment), hopefully it is for permanent. Thank you so much for your effort.
An old proverb says : "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" It is what you did, and what you do now. I definitely prefer the today version of you Brandon. Thank you for sharing your story, day by day 🙂
The crazy thing is that what you were doing is a VERY common practice in gaming. For example, plenty of FPS games communities have players who are small-time streamers and they make some side money unlocking high tier kill or damage badges. They even unlock high tier badges/rewards in ranked/competitive modes for noobs/bots who can't get them on their own. Others even sell their accounts after getting burned out or bored of the game. Tbh I've never understood why people pay someone else to play the game for them or even pay large sums of money for someone else's account. It just can't feel as gratifying as doing it yourself! I could understand paying someone money and giving them your account to say catch a regional pokemon that you're likely to never encounter because of your location, but hey I'm no one to judge and like I said this is a very common practice in gaming so there is clearly a market for it.
It was shared account and do services for others. And how he promoted this services that got him banned. Not to big of a deal but i think niantic had to make an example of someone and Brandon Tan was the perfect candidate.
I hearded crazier stories - people paying 1000s of dollars on eBay just to buy an account with a rare shiny. Some people have too much money and just buy what they like.
The fact that even back then Brandon tan was the #1 player in the world and John hanke had no idea who he was, shows the disconnect that upper management has at niantic with its player base. Brandon should be treated like f‘’king royalty. But the ceo has no clue who he is. Sad
which helps explain what they are doing to their game now underneath their skins, they don't give a fuck when a good deal of players express dislike with pokestop distance, and wouldn't bother to give out any communication
@@Aej88888 it just screams holy than though when u make some money. And live in a mansion. I guarantee John or his kids don’t even have the game downloaded.
Dude, you need to calm down. Back when this happened, there was no ranking system for pokemon go. (Not even Go Battle League and even if you count Go Battle League, there are many PoGo Players who are ranked higher than Tan) So, it makes sense that Hanke would not know him as the "#1 PoGo Player" as it is nothing more than an unofficial title that we gave Tan simply because he spent a considerable amount of time and money playing PoGo. Seriously, I don't know where the infatuation you all have with this guy comes from.
U sound like a hater, Karen. U say there was no ranking system back then. Cool. But back then he was making huge waves and notoriety as the guy with the most xp. Watch trainer tips video from back then. Btw if u have a problem with Brandon being #1 and people giving him his roses then why are you subscribed? Watch someone else’s videos then.
Just cause a guy isn’t ranked officially doesn’t mean that the ceo shouldn’t know his name. If he’s making big money and content and has a huge following and all that then the owner of the game should Atleast know his name. 🤡
Did you deserver the ban? Yes There are a lot of people that break the TOS daily and doesn't get banned. Some might say how they break is not a big deal or doesn't affect others. Others break and really affect the playing of other players and get away with it. So perhaps the only reason you got caught and punished is because you advertised and monetized. With that said, it takes a lot for someone to publicly recognize their mistakes and tell the story. I REALLY enjoy your videos and love how much you love playing this game. I still hold dearly in my collection the blue shellos you gave on PogoFest 2019. It is like a honor trophy for me to have met such a legend in this fun game. Keep up the grind and the UA-cam videos and THANK YOU for supporting us on the #hearusniantic movement, I am sure it is really hard to not raid as you are used to.
I got a shadow ban for spoofing because I would teleport to hundos and unowns because they were rare at the time. I thought I was safe on my main account because I only spoofed in my local area or when it was Raining and I got injured and had to stay home. That first ban wave most of my friends got it worse and got Banned for a month. I never felt like spoofing ever again.
Happens everywhere, but legit players don’t think they’re breaking ToS and only focus their attention on spoofers…who really have kept this game afloat…..change my mind
In 2020 I got permanently banned from niantic's wayfarer, without getting any warning, mail or anything, and when I asked for the reasons why I got banned they told me my pokemon go account linked to wayfarer was subject to punishments, but I've never been warned/suspended/banned in pogo, so I don't know what is wrong and I can't recover my wayfarer account (and increase its medal in pogo) 🤦♀️
Back when I was able to get on my discord account. I was chasing a hundo norbat. I had to jog a few blocks, cross a busy hiway, and cross a bridge to the next town over. I made the post and got motivated that I was going after it. Well I finally get there. Sweating like crazy, out of breath ready to faint. Then on the first ultra ball, excellent throw, with a golden razz. It broke out on the first ball and fled. Shortly after I got there I posted that I was there and found it. Someone wanted me to use their account to try and get it for him. I had to politely say no. Because I too have had 2 strikes. Sometimes I feel terrified to even play the game because of getting that 3rd strike. I try my best to make sure that I'm following tos. Not going to lie. I'd die if my 3rd strike ever happens.
I don't really know why u got banned, but IMHO, it is very common to get falsely banned in online games due to system made by humans, I was 4 times got banned in multiple games that I played before, (PoGo was not one of it) at that time, I was accused to use third party software to play the games. I was accused using BOTs to grinding in the game while I'm breaking my fingers grinding at least 18hours per day. What a sad experience in my gaming life.
I remember reading this is USA Today....really There are companies here that do Pokemon tours. They drive everyone around in a van and help them with finding stops and keeping them from driving and playing. I said hi Mr hanky... he said "Hidey Ho everybody!" The funny thing is, having a UA-cam video with play footage is a ToS violation. But it's one that they make money from.
I would think that you could be worried if you get a final strike. Either by mistake which had happened or because you don't realize that you are breaking the TOS since it is too broad. The TOS is not really clear on certain things and by not specifically explaining in detail what are considered breaking the TOS , you might get the red letter of death. The letter saying you are now officially banned. It is scary when there is a misunderstanding but I wished when they send out these letters, they could atleast explained why you were banned. Not just we detected something or your breaking the tos.
Does anyone wish the rank required to catch Pikachu Libre should be lowered to rank 10 or 20 instead of rank 24? Cause for me it is tough and I am stuck at rank 20 also people who lose battles have their ratings lower.
I always believed that the suspension brought out the best in BrandonTan91 as a pogo icon! Looking forward to more of your youtube adventures!
Congrats on the pinned comment
SUSpend 😳
hi
Yeah, he got banned but lesson learned and he now helps thousands of people play PG. Nice one Brandon, the right call.

I was worried when I saw the title. But when I heard Brandon's "ooooooo" at the start, I was relieved. :D
Ooooooooooooo
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooo I got banned guys, yes !
3 years later, Brandon is punishing Niantic by not paying to play for 30 days

Oh how the tides have turned ...
They punished Brandon in the first place is because account sharing is not allowed
Is he only doing it for 30 days or until they listen
Lol

In 2020 I got permanently banned from niantic's wayfarer, without getting any warning, mail or anything, and when I asked for the reasons why I got banned they told me my pokemon go account linked to wayfarer was subject to punishments, but I've never been warned/suspended/banned in pogo, so I don't know what is wrong and I can't recover my wayfarer account (and increase its medal in pogo) 🤦♀️
Back when I was able to get on my discord account. I was chasing a hundo norbat. I had to jog a few blocks, cross a busy hiway, and cross a bridge to the next town over. I made the post and got motivated that I was going after it. Well I finally get there. Sweating like crazy, out of breath ready to faint. Then on the first ultra ball, excellent throw, with a golden razz. It broke out on the first ball and fled. Shortly after I got there I posted that I was there and found it. Someone wanted me to use their account to try and get it for him. I had to politely say no. Because I too have had 2 strikes. Sometimes I feel terrified to even play the game because of getting that 3rd strike. I try my best to make sure that I'm following tos. Not going to lie. I'd die if my 3rd strike ever happens.
Beldum Community Day was a big blow I suppose
Niantic sucks so bad. So much that I don't feel bad spoofing as long as I don't take down other's gyms while spoofing.
kinda wonder if the strikes has any expiration date, or if you once get one it stays you with forever... im just genuinely curious..
Can I get banned from sending good Pokémon from my old account to my new one?
No but probably don't tell any one its against tos but most people have alt accounts they trade with but you can't get banned
@@llGeeko ok thank you
I don't really know why u got banned, but IMHO, it is very common to get falsely banned in online games due to system made by humans, I was 4 times got banned in multiple games that I played before, (PoGo was not one of it) at that time, I was accused to use third party software to play the games. I was accused using BOTs to grinding in the game while I'm breaking my fingers grinding at least 18hours per day. What a sad experience in my gaming life.
Brandon, Niantic is just sad that you made money of them for once!
Yes ua-cam.com/video/vB5evHofKiY/v-deo.html
I remember reading this is USA Today....really
There are companies here that do Pokemon tours. They drive everyone around in a van and help them with finding stops and keeping them from driving and playing.
I said hi Mr hanky...
he said "Hidey Ho everybody!"
The funny thing is, having a UA-cam video with play footage is a ToS violation. But it's one that they make money from.
Bro you were charging almost 500 bucks to catch people a mewtwo.... this isnt helping the community, this is making mass profit for yourself ....
@Daniel Richard thank you so much bro
I would think that you could be worried if you get a final strike. Either by mistake which had happened or because you don't realize that you are breaking the TOS since it is too broad. The TOS is not really clear on certain things and by not specifically explaining in detail what are considered breaking the TOS , you might get the red letter of death. The letter saying you are now officially banned. It is scary when there is a misunderstanding but I wished when they send out these letters, they could atleast explained why you were banned. Not just we detected something or your breaking the tos.
Hi Brandon, would you consider doing livestreams again? Like maybe during Go Battle Night to interact with your viewers
Planning to, but for raids.... Suppose to be this mth, but unable to do it without coins, lol
@@BrandonTan91 are u gonna do when u use coin
Does anyone wish the rank required to catch Pikachu Libre should be lowered to rank 10 or 20 instead of rank 24? Cause for me it is tough and I am stuck at rank 20 also people who lose battles have their ratings lower.
