I'll never forget the first community day, I was working weekends at the time and I only caught one shiny female Pikachu which I decided to name after my grandmother as she passed away on that day. Normally I don't care about gym control but I will take out the gym that's at the cemetery she's buried at and I will place that Pikachu on the gym when I pass by as a way to remember her.
R.I.P. bro🕊
That Pikachu must be really special
@@hoglin7 yes it is.
is it your buddy?
@@erikeva1189 No it isn't but I should probably do that.
I caught a Lapras at my church, I had gotten Pokémon go 4 months prior and was absolutely horrible at it. I ran up to my mom’s car as she was pulling away and said I need your phone for two seconds, and she gave me it. I was the only one to catch it. I named it Laura.
I still have my Day 1 starter. I was in LA for the launch and remember the park and beaches PACKED with people. It was like the entire city (and really the entire country) was all part of one big…thing. Hard to describe. Like a festival or event that was happening everywhere and everyone was participating. It’s so insane to think looking back how that really was a once in a lifetime type of experience.
And I forgot about those spawn maps! Wow what a throwback
Summer 2016 I went to the Mall of America a ton because I live right by it. And it was packed every time with people helping each other of where to go & what to catch
I vividly remember that in 2016 lures worked on pokemon and people. Where ever you dropped one, people would appear shortly after. My friend and I would grind at a community college, and whenever we dropped lures, people would start crowding around, lol.
Bring back these old days when it all began.PokemonGo was so Epic ill never forget hunting for my first Dragonite.I still play daily since Day1 but its not the same anymore
100% with you there. Pokémon Go is still cool, but the adrenaline rush to run to a wild Dragonite or Charizard is unmatched. I really do miss the older pogo days.
I played for about 3 years straight since release pretty much. I stopped for a few years and just started again a little here and there. It's definitely not the same. Those were the days...
I remember about 20 of us sitting on the grass on a lunch time with incense and lures just grinding for an hour before we all went back to work! and before the game came out in the UK there was a sorta hush hush among those who played early after getting the game from trips overseas!
Bro. I got lucky to have a couple 2016 hundos and I can remember the appraisal saying something like “this Pokémon has outstanding Attack, and Def, and HP”
I’ve got one hundo seaking from 7/16/2016 it’s one of my favorites 🎉
I got a 2016 Charizard with 98% 😅 got a few more with 98% from 2016/2017 but my oldest hundo is from 2018
@@terdfergeson23bro learn how to write the date it's 17/7/2016
Idk if he said this but only OGs know when Mystic didn’t know ANYTHING about Pokémon lol
ULTIMATE OG RIGHT HERE! I remembered all of the stuff. Such good times
Me too, I remember all of this stuff like it was yesterday. I miss those days so much
I just downloaded Pokemon go back after 4 years
It's nostalgic asf 😢
As someone who just came back last month after playing in 2016 i can tell you the number 1 rule is DO NOT TRANSFER 2018 or older Pokémon! You get 25 Guarantied lucky trades with those and they raise the cap every few years so they might come in handy again in the future. I unfortunately didn't learn this until it was almost to late and only had a handful of my OGs left...
@@Wizard013 i just learned about guaranteed trades and was able to do get a baxcalibur and tyrnaitar lucky with these, and also got access to my sisters 2016 account, she only played for the hype but theres a lot of kanto mons there able to be lucky traded
What a history, you documented it very well. Great video bro!
So much stuff. A lot should’ve stayed (like good bundles, low prices, and legendaries in weekly breakthroughs) but a lot of the new stuff (shinies, graduation from EX raids to regular 5* raids, remote pass introduction) was good.
Idk just feels like the game went from good, to better, to ALMOST best, and now it’s on another downward curve. It’s just a question of ‘can Niantic pull I out of their nosedive’
The weekly breakthrough is very underwhelming, I never look forward to it and I rarely get a Sinnoh Stone or a worthwhile Pokemon.
I remember in 2016 when me and my buddy were at his cabin which for some reason had crazy spawns. We’d walk to this gas station in town and on our way back (this place had notoriously insane spawns at the time Lapras, dratinis etc) and I said watch a porygon spawn when we get back. Soon enough we got to the spot by his cabin and a porygon spawned and we freaked out. Such a cool memory too bad to hear they aren’t rare anymore
The original regional Pokémon was not Corsola. They were three Kanto Pokémon and an ultra unlock resulted in them getting their shiny turned on.
I remember back in 2016 a alakazam spawned and I ran out of my apartment to get it. As the footsteps marker got down to one my game crashed. Couldn’t remember how long later but when servers came back up the alakazam was gone. I was furious lol
I've been wanting to play Pokemon Go ever since it was released. but the phone I had at the time wasn't able to download. then when I got a new phone I downloaded and picked a starter, but when I had to type in my username, it always said "that name is not available". I struggled with that for years until I finally solved it and started playing in 2020 and ever since then I keep playing it to this day, still addicted XD
Still holding onto a 2016 99iv flareon, 2016 Christmas raichu and a armoured mewtwo
Oh boy... I still remember much of these. I played from the start, took a several monthlong break and returned when the first baby Pokemon were released. I've pretty much been playing ever since. Still have my Armoured Mewtwo! I have around 6 Pokemon in my collection from 2016. I wish they'd bring back the EX Raid.
Thanks for the updated Pokémon content it’s really entertaining!!!
I remember catching a wild Dragonite a few weeks into the start of the game. The gyms were definitely a pain to beat when people stacked Blissies. Good times straight from day 1!!! It really is interesting to think about how the game used to be, even in the times just before COVID changed things!
a crazy thing i remember from back in the day pokemon go was released, is crime stats.
The was a huge signifact drop in crime those first months which seemed to be globally, not because (just) criminals were too busy playing the game, but because so many people were on the street all day AND night, that criminals feared they would be caught.
Man It’s been years since I watched one of your videos or even really play the game… read the title OG players and I had to watch man thanks for taking me down memory lane great times great times…
110% remember the 10 Blissys in a gym…. Was such a pita….but did enjoy how many coins one could get back then.
Wish I hadn’t taken such a long break from playing, but our community up here got super toxic… like people doxing players…
On the first community day, you could use a tm for the move so i used a tm to give my santa hat pikachu the community day move. I think this makes it pretty rare.
You can just elite tm it now, but at the time that would’ve been rare!
I miss the Pogo days from 2016-2019 they some of the most fun times I've had.
Best years of the game right there tbh
I'll never forget catching 1000 Pidgeys and evolving them just for the XP
5:54 happy to be the lucky few who got one
OGs remember the hairstyles that PoGo creators were rocking back in the day. It was epic.
I’d add the “Our servers are experiencing issues. Please come back later.” Screen with a bunch of the Kanto Pokèmon. Happened all the time for the first week. At least where I lived!
So you're telling me both a little a sentient Colgate bar with wings and a scrambled dumbell have if not the lowest catch rate. Good arceus that's insane
I remember when pichu could learn quick attack but for some reason they removed it from the move pool.
I remember a time when Blissey was everywhere in gyms! ☠️
Also I kinda didn't like EX raids. I once got a raid invite that WAS WAY UP AT 8 AM!!
I remember a small period of time where storage upgrades were 50% off.. I saved up for MONTHS after that waiting for it to happen again... years later and it never did.
My oldest 4* pokemon is a Gyarados from 9/7/2016. I caught it as a Magikarp, and it took FOREVER to get candy to evolve, because it took 400 candy, and there was no Buddy pokemon. I think I had to scrounge for Magikarp candy until 2019 before I finally had enough.
I literally just evolved my 2016 Gyrados a few months ago during one of the later 2023 events. The grind was real
Only OGs remember the giant failures that were Slakoth Community Day, the first Global Go Fest and the first Hatch Day event. IYKYK
I had no idea Niantic did that 8-bit April fool event. I would low key pay to have that back
People going into cemeteries to catch ghost time pokemon
13:36 Kanto tour in 2019??? 14:24 Meltan or Nutto if I remember correctly? I am not an OG OG but I started playing the game in 2016 but I stopped as soon as there was news about international spying going on with Pokemon GO. It wasn't until the summer of 2019 that I came back and I've been playing every day ever since then. The biggest OG moment for me from 2019 was enjoying the lackluster team rocket event. Since the TGR leaders came out in November 2019 and I was working 9-5 job. I used to leave at 6 am and come back after 9 pm and I heard people on discord talking about Cliff, Arlo and Sierra and how we needed to defeat all three of them to get to Giovanni. It took me 3 weekends just to do the research quest and in that way I even missed the shadow Articuno from November 2019 and my first legendary shadow were 2 Zapdos from December 2019.
I will never forget when you could press two Pokémon's in the nearby tab simultaneously and it would make some funny pictures.
Only OGs remember when Pokemon Go was a Google Maps April Fool's prank
Much thanks for these great memories.
I remember the way a single person could train up a gym to level 10 with a magikarp! I did that at my local one but unfortunately someone could simply come along and attack the gym undoing all your hard work even while you were currently building it up
When ppl jump and scream I’m still like calm down lol
Kinda ironic that Iran was the first country to ban Pokemon Go
Some things really brought back memories. I haven't heard about the pokemon go grandpa in a long time. Does anyone know if he is still playing?
I LOVE this content, I remember so much of this stuff!
Ex raids were incrediblely annoying, it was basically impossibles to get invite for instinct players at the begining
Whenever free e.g weekend or friday nite I used to drive all the way to lake park just to grind magicarb. Gyrados was legendary back then.. now becomes memory in my pokedex.
There was a weird early days glitch, where the higher the Pokedex number pokemon had better IVs. Still got some Rhidons, and Eevees from those days.
Also in the early days Vaporeon was the best Pokemon for attacking gyms (you couldn't use it for anything else - no battling or raids back then) as it had some of the best bulk, attack and spamable power attacks avalible at the time.
Fax I got tons of vaporeons from 2016 vaporeon was a beast in 2016
I remember one time when I was about 6 years old and I was battling in a raid against a zapdos and when i went to catch it I ran out of pokeballs and I cried for hours when I got back home, that’s probably my best memory of Pokémon go
Been playing since July of 2016 and will never forget my first wild Dragonite encounter or my first wild Lapras. So many great memories I still play but it’s just not the same anymore unfortunately.
My 2016 Ivysaur remains as my buddy to this day, i love my started :)
Ah, the backpack button, the amount of times i hit great ball and not ultra ball by accident was so annoying and i lost catches due to it but it was fine... I love Pokemon go so much
I wish break through boxes had legendaries still😢 i wasnt even playing the game that time😢😭😭😭
Man I remember getting my grandma into pokemon go years ago, we did as many community days together as we could together
I completely missed the first community day because I was absolutely devastated after a night out and had a terrible hangover. Woke up like 30 minutes before the event was set to end and barely got to walk 10 minutes to catch a handful of Pikachu. The shiny had to wait until the December community recap.
2:30 not sure what he is saying about the old coin system. You got 10 coins per gym you had defenders (max 100 coins) when you hit the "redeem coin" button and had to wait 23hr before you could use the button again. So you could get 100 coins every 23 hrs, and you didn't need to be in for any length of time. There were times I would flip or throw into 3 or 4 gyms within 10 minutes right before hitting the button in order to max out what I got for that day.
Bro seeing Gily’s transformation is INSANE
I remember the 2 star and 4 star raids. It was an easy system to get. 1 star was solo, 2 star required 1-2 ppl, 3 star required 2-3 ppl, 4 star required 3-4, and of course(like today) 5 star required 5+ ppl.
a nice walk through pogo memory lane! thanks man but!!!!! do you remember when the all raids ended at 6pm!!!!!???
I’m late for the party but my brother got super interested in this game and now whenever I’m outside I’m finding opportunities to find Pokémon on each others behalf
Thanks for the great trip down memory lane! My rarest Pokemon must be my shiny Fragment hat Pikachu and my hundo clone Charizard. I've been a huge fan for years and super appreciate your content fam
The pixel images of the Pokémon’s honestly looks dope
Back in the day when we caught too many Pidgeys, Rattatas, and Weedles.
Is it just me or did he mention about blissey in the gyms like 5 times
I remember catching a shiny moltres from a weekly box. My sister was so jealous that she grabbed my phone and powered it up past the battle league limit. It’s still sitting in my inventory lol
I can imagine the hell gym spoofers pulled with 20 gym walls
You missed the most important one/s, players used to get off their ass to go to gyms to do raids & take a few extra steps to interact with stops/gyms without crying for Niantic to hear them 🤷♂️
Can imagine i transferred good IV pokemon legit ain't know of it till years later to took breaks and missed many good events, raids and etc. only started knowing of events or keeping up when i subbed to Mystic in like late 2020 or 2021.
I do got few late 2016 - 2018 pokemon and event pikachu's! i heard of the armored mewtwo event just believe was busy with work and it slipped my mind. was there for the hype my area in NYC had the PKMNGO addiction it's mostly dry here now i need to be in the city for raids or mall like area's.
I miss waking up every day and 1) opening PoGo; 2) click "collect"; 3) smile as I get 100 coins richer; 4) resume 🤤😴🤤😴
I'm rewatching all your old videos
5:43 I remember when research break through boxes were good. My first Lugia and Ho-Oh were shiny
Yo mystic! You help me to Grind in pokemon go and I appreciate that. Thank you so much and dont stop posting video because thats make me happy😊❤
Hello, I remember I started in 2016 and I remember these good moments. You forget to speak about "dead zones", the stranges names in th gyms wich has been removed, the differents pokedex at the begining only the main pokedex was lunch no gender, the time and the hope that the servers accept to let us play due to the amount of players. No possibilty to change our color team, They were less animation of our avatar. The drop rate of some items witch was totally crasy and also the only way to add a pokestop was tu use the old niantic application. The hunt of niantic to ban flyers, with create some bugs with normal players. And nearly none event was with money. What a fun game, still love it !!
A winged Colgate bar 🤝 the word dumbell but scrambled
Having the WORST catch rates out of any other pokemon.
I actually was able to catch a Shellos when it was accidentally released on April 29, 2019. If anyone remembers that, it was only available for like 5min before it was taken out and then later released on may 19th 2019. Good ole days. I still have that pre-released Gastradon in my storage :)
i kinda miss those EX-Raids. mainly because it took me from 2016 launch to January 2019 to get to lvl 30.
reason being that i never did raid and stuff and played solo.
but then i got into one EX-Raid and that way connected with the local community and by August 2019 i was already at lvl40.
3:10 Speaking of being burned into the back of our brains, I still have a slight shadow burn of the control Poke ball on my Samsung 7s Edge screen.
I remember me and my dad watching a trainer tips vid that said there was a change in cp, it happened so often we would just log on to see our new strongest pokemon was our snorlax
Oh i remember when the Pokemon maps was active I got most of the rare spawns back in 2016 such simple times.
14:38.... actually, the Safari Zone in Montreal in September 2019 was the last event we had for 3 whole years
I remember getting an ex raid pass for a gym in a town 20 miles away, after only spinning the gym's stop once. At the time you needed at least a silver badge for that gym and only 40 ex raid passes per gym raid, were released. Niantic admitted they messed up. Funny thing is I turned up for ex raid, I caught my first Mewtwo with roughly a hundred other trainers. 😊
Im still torn because i think id still like the 1st way poke go had Pokemon encounters because i liked actually searching for them in the area knowing once they left your nearby list you know you were going the wrong way and to turn around..
I still remember many of these. More recently they had issues with when Zorua was released. Until I evolve it, I have a glitched 2077cp Zorua I kid you not!
9:55 omg that’s so funny I got a shiny Lugia from Dynamax Adventures in the main series games while watching this video
This is the ONLY Pogo i remember. I stopped playing in 2019.
I really hated that they made legends exclusive to raids. I didn’t have many friends, had bad pokemon, but really wanted the pokemon. That’s one of the reasons why I quit so early on. During lockdown I returned, go a couple legends and shinies, but just stopped because the game changed to a grind fest that I couldn’t do.
Bring back the 50-hour community day blowout event we had in December 2018.
Bro the legendary raids trailer was awesome seeing it for the first time
Wow I wish I was an OG, I joined in 2021 and quit during 2022
When PoGo first came out it was not available yet in Europe, but only in the US. Here in Europe we had to do a trick to fool the app store thinking we were in the US to be able to download the game (a week early).
i miss the old POGO i quited before, i just return last May 20
Blisseys weren't the OG defender, just chansey and snorlax. We all know blissey eventually though
10:58 Platinum medals didn't exist yet until November 2020
Back then you can aldo feed as mamy as candies you have in one ball throw
I actually caught a wild shiny gyarados during that event. I was walking around N building at Algonquin College super late at night and it showed up with 0 stars and 700 cp. I caught her before I’d ever found a shiny magikarp, which was even cooler. These days, she is one of my best buddies and is sitting at level 50. Her name is OGyarados
I started playing on July 6th 2016 and I hit level 50 during the Rowlet c-day!! tears were actually flowing lol
Congrats! I started just a couple days later and I'm close to level 50 myself, finally!
These will always hit me like a truck, such great times though
Prodigies Nation! That’s a throw back! 16:12
Bro the first year hype was out of this world, wish we could relieve that
i am a day one player (7.9.16)... i took a break from pokemon around the time Armored Mewtwo was in the raids, i didnt get it since there wasnt a huge community to help with the raid...but, when i came back i realized that i had Gardevoir (possible a kirilia at the time for the candy) as my buddy. its clocked in at 468 days as my buddy.
I love these kinds of videos
