I am Grenadian and your videos were pivotal when I started. SGU has more stops now than when I was playing. I stopped in 2018. It's like remembering the good old days
u could of still went to curacou or guadlope
more like. a planet where noone play pokemon go. its a dead game since many years
@@somerandomchannel382 they wouldve shut the servers down if it wasnt making money for that long
@@somerandomchannel382 then y are u watching this video and so many others
@@somerandomchannel382 definitely not, still played by so many people and the majority are adults over 30 years
I love the idea of slowly walking up to passers by quietly saying "Captain otter...?" just loudly enough for them to hear without startling them in hopes that one of them turns around 😂
i was lowkey hoping he would bump into captainOtter!
LOL it was right out of a movie
reminds me of festivals and ppl muttering molly lmao
ok
@@samu-chan ?
That security guard made my day for letting you in! I really expected that he'd say it's against the rules for tourists to wander around and he sadly has to ask you to leave, like in most places, but the campus looked so nice and you actually met great people, so big props to the guy for getting you a visitors card!
that's what I was thinking. He seemed hesitant and confused but did it anyways. Hope he has a great week
Idk about other countries but in my country, Universities are usually very welcoming to visitors in hopes they'll recommend the university to their friends and family.
Looks like it's an international university as well, so he likely was like "oh this guy might want to go here"
he showed up to a med school and security tends to be a little more strict given the nature, but overall all nice people
I used to do security night patrols, and Pokemon Go players were the holy grail of what you want to see near sites you patrol. Thieves and assorted other unsavory individuals don't like people hanging round with phones out when they're trying to do their thing, so a bunch of Pokemon Go players are a great deterrent!
Also, the look on folks' faces when a security guard pulls up next to them and asks if they know where that blasted Dragonite that's showing up on the radar is. Priceless! (Turns out it was round the corner and down a side street, nowhere close to the stop it was showing as being near)
north korea
Xd
There's Actually pokemon spawns in North Korea
@@somerandomguyininternet1710yeah ghost type pokemon
💀
LMAO
This video was fkn sick
Agreed, the commitment is insane
We do have a community in grenada im subscriber to you, trainer tips, trainer club , jtvalor, jtgally etc been playing since 2016 smh
Totally dude. Team Mystic rules 🩵
Omg huge fan 😎
I cried when he met up with the group, it was just so emotional and fulfilling when he found them 😢😌
When he ran into the guys and they just integrated him into their group for the day, definitely heart warming. It reminded me a lot of what it was like the first year or two that Pokemon Go was out. You love to see it.
u could of still went to curacou or guadlope
It was super awesome back in 2016 when this game was at its peak and you would be catching rare Pokémon’s and doing gyms in teams this video reminded of that a time where people where nice to each other what a cool University and the place looks awesome to
I remember some kids being beat up by someone because they took his Gym.. But maybe that's just how it goes in the Netherlands.
i was in summer school the year it came out and in my walk there every day i would always run into groups playing and end up late to my class. good memories haha
@@Christizm we have different memories of it then, because as someone living in a big city, I hated launch so much I actually quit until 2020. people blindly crossing streets and getting hurt in stampedes is not fun and gave pokemon players a really bad rep. also gyms were so toxic. you'd get 24/7 sweaty andys defending gyms with maxed out dragonites and it was impossible to hold a gym long enough to even put a dent in your daily allowance cap. i know it seems insane by today's standards because they nerfed the heck out of it.
end game was completely trash and most the features that have been added in the last few years should have been lanch functionality. i guarantee you if campfire was around in 2016 we'd have at least 5x the retained player base. i feel like it was too little too late. every single person from my social media friends lists quit before 2018. if it weren't for the remote raid ease-of-access in Poke Genie, I'd have no active friends at all
I have never played Pokémon Go and I have never seen a Trainer Tips video but I just spent 20 min invested in this story. Great storytelling 👏🏼
I really love how your videos mostly focus on the actual location/community aspect of the game, and how you try to stay adventurous and open-minded (especially in places you've never been before). All the players have good reason to film and comment on the actual game aspects and Pokemon IV's and things obviously, but watching you explore and enjoy what's around you is also why I personally have loved the game since launch. It's really rad you try to bring light to the community when you can and show how much you love the world around you fr.
I have lots of respect for Trainer Tips for coming up with these ideas and pulling through he is really an impressive individual
You know why? Because this is relatable, I mean he does things that most people would love to do but can’t, for different reasons, I mean it’s not extravagant things that he does, what he does is just real, no planning, not acted or scripted, his content is something we can all relate to.
😒
@@ajx2956 ?…
@@ajx2956 agreed… whatever happened to his intro music? I use to jam to that shit lol
@@415alkeez I forgot about that lol
This is the type of video that I love to see from Nick. I think it's what Niantic wishes the game was more off: people actually traveling around the world interacting with new people.
We not all rich or get paid to play video games
we're not all rich, retired, Singaporean grandma's.
@@zedzed5276 legendary
They also rely on Remote raids, tho. It's all part of the game (when it was good)
Singaporean oppa is broke go travel
love how no matter where in the world you are, there is a Pokemon Go community
No, no there isn’t. There’s Towns and cities where the game has completely blown out. Not a single gym even has a Pokémon put In it etc.
Expect Turkey sadly….
Actually such a sweet video. The guy in the taxi knowing you, the hilarious interaction with the security guard who gave you a security pass, meeting the international students 🎉 i hope you enjoyed your holiday!!!
Actually kind of a heart warming story. This game has done so much to help strangers become friends
mos def 🫡
u could of still went to curacou or guadlope
This video is in my top 3 Trainer Tips videos, I loved this concept and It was so satisfying to actually find players in the area who play Pokémon GO despite it seeming very hopeless for a while!
Can't wait what's next for you bro, see you in Japan!
Hi reversal, cool to see you here, also don’t worry about streaming consistently if you don’t feel up to it, we are all here for you.
I hope I get to see you both when you come! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Absolutely loved the video. The moment where you finally found some players was genuinely emotional, had a smile on my face for the rest of the video since then.
I truly love this concept. Very refreshing content and love that you venture beyond the comfort zone and it works to your favour.
During this Go Drought, you've managed to make a phenomenal video! Hope to see more
Really refreshing video & unique concept - the space needs more of this 👊😜 Killer job!
Yooo
Hey poke daxi u should come to trinidad and Tobago we got a big player base here
u should come to Thailand. I'll be ur tour guide 😎
He released a video like this in Morocco years ago. It was also breathtaking.
Come to my home country of Namibia. You'll have a great time will the Pokémon Go players which number a whopping 0. That's right. There's now 0 Pokémon Go players in Namibia. We all quit after all the crap Niantic has done.
Truly amazing that such a small community is able to expand more for pokemon go, such a wholesome video man
Awesome video mate. I haven’t seen your videos close to a year now, but I’m sure glad I picked this one. I nearly forgot just how relaxing they can be.🖤🖤
Instantly just became one of my favorite videos you ever put out. The whole theme of this video was amazing. The fact that you can go out there, explore a whole new place and have a great time just based off this game is so sick to me. Just amazing dude.
Agreed.
My view of people definitely changed due to this game, which is why I have never given up the game. I see people differently.
@@CopperValor I’ve seen both sides of people with this game lol. The more casual down to earth players, & the hardcore “you can’t play with me bc why are you using that Pokémon type in this raid battle” players, it’s insane lol.
@@dylvnss Or the people who want to dominate the game and think they own the gyms. But I talk to so many people I never would have never talked to without the game, and those people are all such good people I was missing out. It really teaches you to be less judgmental of people - right?
@@CopperValor 100% really made friends with folks I’d never even think about talking to lol
You push the format of the Pokémon Go vlog more than any other CZcamsr and I really appreciate it! Love to see exploration and different communities that I wouldn’t get to experience otherwise. Glad to see you’re still making videos 💙!
I love this video so much!! Brilliant content, Nick! It’s like being there with you!
Such a cool video! I really enjoyed the story around how their community came to be. 😊
damnnn man, what a nice video! i only instal and play pokemon go when i go traveling, which is quite a rare event. this video makes me remember my journey when i go to Mecca and Madina 5 months ago, and i play pokemon go there while walking and looking for poke stop and gym. playing pokemon go when traveling is really fun experience
u play pokemon go when haj?. damn that awesome rare interesting
2:28 why is there Mount Gay 💀💀💀💀
pls reply is there good pokémon go stops and gyms there😊
Now this is the content that makes Trainer Tips so wonderful to watch. I hope to see more stuff like this in the future!
Did you try flaring or commenting on the gyms in Campfire?

This was such a fun watch, i love this type of content, your travel content is what i started watching you for years ago. Its so inspiring to see your trip unfold and how pokemon go opens up a whole new way to connect with people, love seeing the community that it brings together in different places.
9:35 i love watching this knowing that you have to walk back down the hill to get the camera
omg the smile on my face at the end, loved this video! This seems like it'd be a super fun series to do, to travel to the places that have few to no viewers of your channel. (Also wow, gorgeous landscapes!)
What a wonderful breath of fresh air. Make this into a series! Even if you only do it twice a year, it’s very reminiscent of your old content. It’s what brought me to your channel originally. Thank you.
Such a creative video!! I love that you have such a cool spin on your Pokémon GO content and it’s so fun to follow along in all of your travels!
Epic video. One of my favorites by you for sure. I love the sense of history, investigation, and problem solving. Very cool
I want to share a PoGo story from a couple weeks ago. I flew into Vancouver from farther north in BC. I was riding the train from the airport and spinning discs and grabbing gym badges where I could.
After several minutes a Spanish international student sitting beside me asked if I was playing Pokémon Go. He opened his game as well and we got to chatting. He was hoping that I might have a Kangaskhan to trade him as he needed it for his last Kanto dex entry. I did have an extra one for him. I was scrolling through my pretty full dex and he spotted that I didn’t have a Maractus. He did.
So we both got our regional new Pokémon! They were lucky Pokemon to boot. I went a bit further and unlocked an extra move for his.
Great surprise for the start of my short trip.
Wholesome
I love when he gives you a guest pass to the university! thats awesome. I love that they knew you and pulled you into their group. this community is amazing.
Recently got back into PoGo after stopping again for third time and watching this video just made me think to myself. Why did I stop watching these videos when they make me feel good? Or Why I stopped playing when the sense of community within PoGo is so large? I don't know, I'm just glad to have rekindled this. Keep it up Nick, it's actually so good to see you still on this grind after all these years!
Hi Bro, just watched your video and makes me missing those good old days I'm playing POGO with my love one, friends. And I just decided to download back POGO as a returning players. TT Your video makes me tear when I saw you actually finding the pogo players. Man, it brings back so many good memories. :")
Great video! I'd happily watch more like this where you go out to a place and try and find a community. It may end up being really useful for helping bring communities together more if they have yet to bump into one another.
I went to St George's about six or seven years ago, to play Pokemon go, and add the regional Pokemon to my Pokedex. It was a rare occurrence I had extra money, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I was surprised about how steep the hills were and God, the steps. It took me about a good chunk of my vacation time just going around and taking over all the gyms on the right side of the island. I wonder if any of my Pokemon are still in those Jim's or if they've been taking over and replace countless times since then? I am team Mystic and I still am and was back then.
@@domomitsune5920 Cool, wished I could experience that. Know any places close to western Canada with same workout, and same or similar coverage in game?
I plan on visiting Canada sometime in my lifetime, but I don't know when. And some of the places I visited as a child, teenager, we're before Pokemon go and even Pokemon were invented. So I have to revisit them while having Pokemon go. Travel for Pokemon go purposes has only become more expensive even before the recession. I was lucky or unfortunate, to receive a inheritance which allowed me to go to St George's in the first place. I knew if I held onto the money, it would eventually be used up on things like rent, and bills, and I would have done nothing with it. And I knew the inheritance they gave me was to be used for something other than everyday necessities.
Shout out to the security guard for granting you the visitor pass! 😅
Awesome video Nick, well documented. Would love to see more of these kind of videos in the future when possible.
This video pretty much describes what playing Pokémon GO in my area is like. I live in a little village in the Netherlands, and after 11 months of playing I still didn't find a community or people to raid with. So thank you for all the ideas to find players in a specific area!
I REALLY enjoyed this video. I stopped playing Pokemon Go but loved loved loved this style of content! I was really rooting for yuh. Great work!
These are the videos I live for. I appreciate all your news and event updates, as I don't follow PoGo closely, but it's your travel Vlogs that I look forward to.
You making friends with the guys at the university campus weirdly made me a little emotional. Maybe it gave a bit of a lonely feeling that you were by yourself and the island felt kinda empty till now. It’s like finding your friends after losing them in the desert haha. ❤ What a videogame can do!
This vid is so good. This is (kinda) how I've played since the beginning. I love going to small towns, playing solo, meeting people to trade in other countries. Recently traveled to Norway. I did in-person trades with 6 people that I "met" through SilphRoad (RIP). Such a small world. So many great experiences playing this game. Thanks for the amazing content!
This was such a nice video, I genuinely enjoyed watching! Definitely going to binge watch some of your other videos :D
I don't play the game myself but this was a wonderful video. A wonderful concept caught on camera. Well done, Trainer Tips.
I can see this concept going viral for channels focused on one thing, like his
Oh man, Nick. These travel videos are so awesome! It’s amazing to me that you can just decide to go to a new country all by yourself and just discover everything there
love how you keep this channel going. keep being yourself nick, thank you
Dude this video was so good. I can’t believe I never watched it until now. More videos like this please!!
With all the problems with the game and Niantic, videos like this are the most memorable and enjoyable and keep me wanting to play and go on trips of my own. Keep making these great videos.
u could of still went to curacou or guadlope
@@alehlete830 Yes but then they would have technically been going to the Netherlands or France which obviously already have a large following. Point is to go to an independent nation that largely does not play or follow.
@@MeyerD584I'm French and Gouadeloupe is not like France the community is way smaller. Even if you go there you won't feel like you're in France.
@@numa2k147 Yes I get that but whether you feel like you're in France or not, you are still literally, physically and legally in France.
Grenada has a pretty cool flag at 0:57! The flag has a nutmeg on its left side as the island is the second-largest producer of nutmeg in the world, and the island is known as the Spice Isle because of it. The stars on the top and bottom represent the six parishes of the island, and the one in the middle represents the capital! Wonderful video! It’s so cool that you can go do these adventures and show us how diverse the world can be, but how a simple thing like a game can bring even the most different of people together. This is such a creative concept, you definitely go above and beyond to create your content. Love how you combine your two passions: traveling and Pokémon. And you immediately running into someone that recognized you is hilarious!
Named after the Spanish city of Granada.

Hi lil kimmy
Thank you, Kim Jong-un, for the extra information on Grenada
Been watching your videos since 2016 im glad to come back almost 8 years later and see you still going hard in the paint. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 well not 8 whole years but its been a bit since i watched you. Keep it up this was nice
This is by far my favorite Pokemon Go video. Please keep making more like this.
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that video from start to finish. You have always done a great job documenting your adventures while playing Pokémon Go. Even with all the drama in the community, you still find a way to make Pokémon go videos enjoyable.
As someone with ancestry from and appreciates the Caribbean, kudos to you for pronouncing Grenada correctly! I'm glad you went to Grenada! Really isn't that talked about compared to the more popular places in the Caribbean like St. Martin/Maarten or Puerto Rico. This has such a wholesome story of college students wanting to make their university a better place and thus attracting people like you to the campus. Great to see that a Pokémon community DOES exist there and that even people on sleepy Grenada watch your videos which says a lot about your impact. This game of ours really does bring so many people from different walks of life together and it's beautiful.
That's crazy bc I, too, am Cuban-American
im from curacao and we’re not technically part of the netherlnads since 2010 and i just added one viewer thats from here :)
u could of still went to curacou or guadlope
Why are you
Why are you everywhere? I see your comments at least once a month
CAN YOU STOP STALKING MY RECOMMENDATIONS HOLY HELL 😂😂
🇬🇩🇬🇩 YES!! Grenada to the World!! 🇬🇩🇬🇩
Although I play and live in the UK normally, I did play the game in Grenada for 3 months last year. There is a small community, but most of the gameplay is in the capital (St George's). It was an amazing experience, and I wished they had more point of interest in the game so players could explore the country more.
Love my home country ❤️ Grenada 🇬🇩.
Yes, big up Grenada! It's a serious ting!
How do you guys handle hurricanes?
@Tangarisu I haven't personally experienced being in the country when it comes to hurricanes, but we haven't been hit severely by one since 2004. So, the procedures would have changed.
Glad you’re still putting out high quality videos. I related to the taxi guy from New York a lot
Finding players in an area where you just came in is like when I was starting with pogo here in our area, approaching those likely to be playing pogo hahaha, it will always be heart warming ❤️
The way I got so invested in this whole journey! So cool that you ended up finding some local players for community day. What an adventure. Great video!
Long, heavily edited travel video with a pretty unique concept? 👀
We might be back, boys
Edit: Holy, Grenada looks so cool
This was a QUALITY video 💗 your content is just so enjoyable.
What a great way to relax and have some fun. You are so creative!!!!! Thank you for always putting out great videos ❤
You were the one that made me start playing Pokémon go. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
1:17 "do you live here?"
"yeah"
(roll credits) 😆
Trainer I will tell you right now as someone who hasn’t played the game in a minute. These type videos are amazing, you don’t even need to make it about the least amount of views. You could basically be a Pokémon Go travel vlogger. Videos like this make me want to get back into Go!
I would be so lonely being the only trainer in an entire city. I'm so glad I live near a populated place and have friends to play with.
Amazing video! Loved it right the way through ❤️
This is what I've been missing. Honestly the first GO related smile I've had in weeks ❤ Thank you, Nick!
Absolutely excellent, Nick! Incorporating what you WANT to do (travel), with what you "do for a living" (make PoGo content videos), and managing to incorporate those 2 ideas into a singular vacation/video idea that allowed you to check both those boxes, despite the dreary times this game is in. You are an absolute gem to the community for doing things like this, and Niantic has an invaluable resource in you highlighting just how amazing and rewarding it can be to actually go outside and play this game (when Niantic makes it accessible enough for people to do so).
This was so cool! I loved this, hope you can travel and do more of these!
what a fun video Nick!! i remember watching you when i was in college and now am almost done law school after working multiple years in between lol and am still here!
What I love about these videos, its not even the fact its a PoGo video, its just a great style of travel vlog video to watch
This video gave me literal chills and such a big smile! Despite all the ridiculous things Niantic puts us through, this game has given many of us experiences we would have never had otherwise.
Nobody plays Pokemon Go in Russia, cause all of pokemon and pokestops are just GONE
this is amazing. I also felt happy when you find the players :D
Ok as much as I want to watch this while I'm bored at my retail job... I have a feeling this is going to be a video worthy of waiting til I can watch it on the TV at home 🤔
Update: Yup. Worth the wait. This was a video that just fit so well on the big screen. Great concept. Beautiful footage. Amazing job my friend.
It'll be worth the wait.
Yes! please enjoy this when you're nice and cozy.
PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN WITH OTHER LOW ACTIVITY COUNTRIES!! ❤
Please no one plays go here
Please do this in the hood while holding two phones out in the open between 5pm-12am
seconded
Exactly the place where I live has much less gym and Pokestop
@@johnkisaragi5920 bad mind af 😂
First video I ever watched from your channel, amazing idea and a very cool execution, congratulations
This was the most wholesome and uplifting video lol. You have the coolest ideas!
much respect to those players on the campus and Ali especially for helping build the community. thats dedication
I had a smile the entire time you were with that group! And since they're re-doing the Regidrago raids, I'm so happy they'll be able to get it!
My duuudeee. I remember you. I used to watch your vídeos almost everyday back when pokémon Go launched. Amazing to see that you still play the game
i love that you can hear the excitement in his voice as he's playing with those guys, hoping i can have that same experience tomorrow meeting up with a local group for the first time for shadow mewtwo raids :>
This video is a really cool representation of non content creators who enjoy pogo while travelling. Love it and hope there are more videos like this!
As someone who lives in the cayman Islands, I can explain the whole "US internet" thing a bit
Basically, the internet from the US runs through a pipe underground/water to our destinations and then is redistributed by the local ISP's to each person. Everyone who has an internet connection gets assigned their own "public IP address" (each household). It's very common for the public IP that gets assigned to a person in the Caribbean to actually be a public IP address from the US lol (or even another island altogether)
Otter and frosh are having a turf war lol
Good work man this vid is amazing
Literally the best Pokemon GO video in years. Across all content creators.
No remote stuff, no complaining,. no bad vibes. Just exploring and socializing.
Shoutout to the guys @ campus for being cool and welcoming. And also massive shoutout to the security/doorman-kinda-guy, actual MVP.
Great video Nick. Very jealous of your adventure, but very appreciative/entertained of/by you sharing it.
Takes me back to early TRNRtips travel adventures! Just what I needed PoGo content wise with the state of the game atm. And learned more about Grenada than I did when I woke up this morning. You love to see it! Seems like a cool community, looking forward to the next chapter
its such a nice feeling to see this video:) thank you for sharing your lovely trips:d
I don’t even play Pokémon Go but I’m from Grenada 🇬🇩 and this was some REALLY GOOD content! You did an excellent job in showing off the place as well
How did you manage to stumble upon this video?
Welcome to Grenada. I’m the third and fourth generation Pokémon master of Grenada. I know a lotttt of people that play Pokémon Go there. But I don’t play Pokémon anymore sadly. Tragic story.
Edit: you met my friend Trent lol. I’m gonna go message him haha. Surprised you didn’t meet my sister. She works near the beach, she’s big on Pokémon Go.
glad this channel was recommend again, man i remember when Pokemon Go First released. Was waiting a long time for it to release and everyone the whole family and friends were outside exploring. Was an awesome moment to be a pokemon trainer
Wow I don't even play this game but this was a really great video idea and execution good stuff man.
Getting back into the game and I just discovered your channel! Subbed just because your Instinct!
Possibly one of my favorite videos by you!! Loved this! I love that you intentionally went to a country just to find people playing Pokémon Go. I found myself rooting for you to find some of those locals in the gyms! Love that you found the local community!! 10/10 video!!
This was unexpectedly heartwarming. Glad the trip wasn't a bust!
Very cool Nick!!!! And you should never truly take who watches and doesn't watch your video's personally. You do an amazing job and you have your solid subscribers and customers. You were the one that taught me everything i needed to know when I started playing pokemon Go in 2020. Yea I started late in life with the game lol but as much as you helped me , i would owe you a check for plenty of money in knowledge to make me a better player lol
But I understand views are important for youtube , totally get that . Just remember inside why you help so many people/players and the future players!!!! Thank you Nick
Bro you are one of the best CZcams ever. I been following u from the release of the game and u still come up with awsm new contents and entertine us.🔥🔥
Hands down best video I have seen on your channel. Hearing how the campus has grown its stops and gyms brings more light to how much effort it takes to have a place to play. I hope you continue exploring other places in and outside the US to see how/where the communities play.
love the quality of the edit and the fresh adventure narrative
Yoooo this concept is amazing. Massive props for originality. So cool 👌
Awesome content bro… I really enjoyed this video
