How To Start Pokemon Go! The Right Way!

Hey guys, so in today's episode, I'm going to share with you guys a few tips of high-level

Pokémon Go players, and a few mistakes that were made all across the bord. So in this way,

you start your Pokémon Go journey the right way.

So the very first thing is: Pokémon Go has no built-in chat. There is a secondary app that

you can download called Pokémon Go Chat, and it is available on Android, and it will be

available on iOS by Thursday. So guys, make sure you download this app; it's going to help

you guys a lot through your Pokémon Go journey.

Now let's say you've just started your Pokémon Go journey and you've just logged into the

game. You will see your first three starters as you login. Now, here's the first mistake

most people make: If you do not see all three of them, do not catch any. If you want to

choose your starter, you have to walk around a little bit, until you find the one you

actually want. Guys, if you do catch any of the starters, all other two will disappear,

but either way, the starter is not something you have to worry about. Because it would

soon be useless. Trust me, guys, I will talk more about this later on the video.

Okay, so if you had a chance to actually earn some Pokémon Coins or actually spend some

money on the game, I would advise you, right now, to just buy a few lucky eggs. Even

though Incense and Lure Patch will also help you on your journey, Lucky Eggs are the most

important items as you start your Pokémon Go. So here's an example on why you should use a

Lucky Egg at the beginning of your journey. Every new Pokémon you catch that you did not

have on your Pokédex will get you a 500 XP bonus. If you had your Lucky Egg with you, that

would be 1000. So guys, just by having a Lucky Egg, you're getting 500 extra XP. That

does not sound like much, but it is, guys. XP is very hard to come by, for an example, for

beating a Pokémon Gym, wasting items, and the health of your Pokémon, you only earn 100

XP. So that's how you can see how important a Lucky Egg is at the beginning of the game.

Another very important thing is really throwing the ball well. And I do have a tutorial,

that is down by the description, on how you can earn excellent throws, great throws, nice

throws, curved throws, and how that works. If you want to check that out, it will be down

by the description.

Okay, so whether you have Lucky Eggs or not, you are going to your first Poké Stop. At

Poké Stops, you'll be able to find Poké Balls, Revives, Potions, and even Pokémon Eggs.

Now, if you didn't know, Poké Stops have a cooldown of around 5 minutes. So a good way is

to plan ahead. Guys, find a Poké Stop that has a nearby Poké Stop of 5 minutes walk or

less. This way, you can keep switching from one Poké Stop to the other, and earning items

every 5 minutes. Now, if you did have a bit of money invested in the game, you could use a

Lure Patch in any of the Poké Stops, and it will draw Pokémon to you, and this way you

won't have to walk at all. But it kind of loses the purpose of the game. I still like the

walking better, and you can catch just about the same amount of Pokémon if you're walking,

as if you were using Lure Patch. But, as you can see from the image, by using a

combination of Incense and Lure Patch, it's possible to have many Pokémon all around you.

As you can see by this picture, this guy has 10 Pokémon all around him for him to catch.

If he didn't spend any money on Poké Balls, he could run out of Poké Balls really quickly,

so it is important to visit different Poké Stops and get more items.

Now let's go back to your starter and weaker Pokémon. Now guys, even though you might be

tempted to waste Candies and Stardust on those weak Pokémon, please don't, because soon

enough, you'll start finding randomly high CP Pokémon of the last evolution. And for

those Pokémon, you definitely will need more Stardust and more Candies. It is a common

mistake made by a lot of players: You spend your Candies trying to evolve Pokémon that

you're not going to use, and then when you have the final evolution of the Pokémon, you do

not have any more Candies, or even Stardust, to level up. So guys, save all your items.

Do not spend anything.

So the last thing I've left for this video is: Avoid Gyms at all costs. Gyms will be very

expensive at the beginning. If you try to battle enemy Gyms, you will waste Potions on

weak Pokémon, you will waste Revives, and you will need those items later. So my advice

here is: Try to go as fast as you can to find Gyms that are not taken over, the gray

Gyms. Place a weak Pokémon there, or find Gyms that are all by your own team, and place

your Pokémon there. You do not need to have the highest CP Pokémon at that Gym in order to

earn the defender bonus. As long as you have one Pokémon there, you will still earn it.

So find said Gyms; do not, do not, do not place your strongest Pokémon, guys. A lot of

other Beta testers made this mistake. You do not want to place your strongest Pokémon,

because you will need it to battle later.

So as we've seen an announcement made by John Hanke today, it is very important to team up

with friends. So gather your friends, team up, in order to beat a Gym. Don't try to be the

solo hero, because you will waste more than you will gain. So the main focus of the game

is: Team up.

So I hope you enjoyed these tips. There are other tips in a previous video, that will

also be on the description, on how you can level up really fast in Pokémon Go, and,

obviously, how to throw effectively in Pokémon Go. So, for now, guys, please subscribe,

stay tuned for more tutorials, and daily gameplays once the game is released. I thank you

all, and train on.
