hey what's going on guys Jake here from
Team 15 and if you're like me you've
been playing Pokemon go eh
a lot lately like a lot a lot like I'm
actually outside again which is two days
in a row so that's that's pretty good
I'm almost getting fit I decided to make
a video because we're doing a Pokemon
series if you guys have seen episode one
it's good a little pop-up right there
you can click on it but don't go there
yet because I wanted to do my top 10
features that you need to know about
before you start playing Pokemon go
Pokemon go can be true and if you're
gonna want to survive you're gonna need
to know my top 10 tips to get started
because they don't really explain it to
you at all so let's jump in and do it
with number 1 you're gonna want to make
sure that you take a look in the bottom
right hand corner this is gonna tell you
some of the nearby Pokemon in your area
and this will change depending on where
you are and as you walk around now the
cool thing about this is that once you
open it up here you can see the
different Pokemon and then you can
choose which one you're gonna track so
in this case we don't have very many
good ones but will this tries for
example the Pidgey this is a fun little
bird creature and so once you click on
it you're gonna have the option here to
look at it down in the bottom right hand
corner and you'll have some of the feet
and the closer you are to it the less
feet there are so to being you're
getting the closer one being you're
really close and then no feet you're on
top of it it can go in to catch it so
we're gonna walk around until we get a
little closer this bad boy more lordy
there's a gym right there it's magical
you can't actually see it right now but
we'll get back to that in a second so
I've gotten close enough and we can see
it on the map here it is over here and
on the ground so we can click on it and
of course you don't actually have to be
on top of it as long as you're close
enough to it you can just click on it
and it'll appear somewhere in front of
you and then the arrows will point where
it is so there it is in front of us and
that's going to get us to our next tip
which is how to actually catch the
Pokemon so what you're gonna want to do
is gonna want to hold the pokeball and
as you can see here as I'm holding a
pokeball down you have a green circle
that surrounds the Pokemon and the
smaller it is the better time it is to
actually throw the ball and you're gonna
want to get the ball on top of it as I
just did there and come on baby big
money big money oh you're busy
isn't that great that if it was a
squirrel I'd be much more happy but
that's okay because it's a first Pokemon
and I just wanted to show you guys how
to actually do it now if it did get out
of the pokeball that's okay you're just
gonna throw another one and try and make
sure the green circle which could be red
or yellow depending on how rare and hard
well c'mon is to catch is that small as
possible before you actually throw the
pokeball once we're done we're gonna get
some XP and some pokey candy and some
other stuff which I'll talk about in
just a second so now that we've actually
captured the pokemons we're gonna get
into some other cool stuff which is the
menu here and this is going to be where
you keep all of the Pokemon you just
captured once you get into your menu you
can look at all the different ones that
you have as well as their CP which is
basically just their strengths and it'll
give you an idea as to how powerful they
are because they captured a Pidgey I
already have one so a lot of people
don't know this but once you've done
that you can essentially sell it well
you're not selling it's not like black
market but Professor Oak will take it
and he'll give you candy for it so I'm
gonna click on the Pidgey here and we're
gonna scroll down to the bottom it's
kind of hidden down here but you're
gonna go transfer so once you click that
it's gonna go to the professor and he's
going to give you a nice little bit of
candy we get one little Pidgey candy and
that candy is used for evolving as well
as powering up your piggy so you might
be asking yourself Jake what is powering
up or evolving a piggy do or any Pokemon
it's a good question so evolving is the
classic thing that we all know and love
if you've been playing Pokemon since a
kid it's where your big Pokemon becomes
an even bigger pokemons through evolving
it with candy this takes a while because
the only way to get the candy really is
to go ahead and find duplicates and then
trade them in to the store powering up
is a little bit different it's not
actually evolving the Pokemon it's just
making it stronger so for example if I
have a Drowsy here who is you know he's
doing pretty good he's got a CP of 137
and I'm going to a gym battle I want to
give them a little bit extra you can
power them up and that'll increase his
CP however be careful because trust me
once you power them up five minutes
later you're gonna find one even
stronger and you're gonna be sad you
wasted all that candy now if you do
decide to evolve your Pokemon perhaps
you have found enough candy then you can
go into your pokedex here and take a
look at all the different ones you've
caught out of the current 129 if
that's right and if you click on the
Pokemon for example here like my
Magikarp you'll notice that it has a
little evolution tab which will show you
what it evolved into now here it's
actually blacked out but if you go on
google or watch the show you're pretty
sure you're gonna know what it evolves
into but I'll just give you an idea as
to what it will become it'll be more
powerful and a lot cooler trust me this
thing looks lame but once you evolve it
it's gonna be big and fierce alright so
as we walk over to my next points I'm
gonna show you guys the items that you
have in your inventory which is
basically your backpack you have a few
different things in here you have a
potion you have a revive and you have
your pokeballs alright so if you want to
replenish all the items in your backpack
you can get new things such as pokeballs
you can get potions as well as eggs
which I'll talk about in a second by
heading to a poky stop which is this
place which doesn't exactly look like
much here but on your phone it is a blue
circle which you can find it has a cool
little picture which i think is awesome
you see it's a preschool basic a
pre-school mural which is pretty cool so
once you get on over here all you got to
do is turn it around like this pulling
it and there you go you'll get a bunch
of new items in this case I got some
pokeballs but you can get eggs as well
as potions now if I head back into my
items tab you can see here we have a few
that I've been showing you before the
potions are and the revives are only
used really when you're doing gym
battles because as of right now there
isn't any multiplayer other than that
now if you go over to the inventory
again you go back to Pokemon you'll
notice that there is an eggs tab so if I
click on over here this is where your
Pokemon eggs are and these are really
cool because the only way to actually
get your egg to hatch is to walk this
certain amount of distance will list it
on the egg so in this case I have one
here in the incubator you can only have
one at a time
unless you get additional incubators in
this case I actually do so I'm gonna
start the incubation on this with this
one which I got out of levelling up you
also get items from bubbling up I'm
gonna click it here and it's gonna start
the incubation there you go so I have to
walk 5 kilometers before this one will
hatch this one actually is really close
so this might open by the end of the
video as it's at 4.8 out of 5 kilometers
and once that's done you can exit out of
here and you are ready to continue your
journey which will bring us to the next
part of this and where are you going
ever ever since Jake started playing
Pokemon go he just walks all day
I'm trying to like record a video and
he's like oh I have to go it's a
squirtle I gotta catch them all
alright so now you've got your pokeballs
you've got some Pokemon because you've
learned how to actually catch them and
where to find them you're ready to do a
gym battle
now gym battles are great because you
can take over gyms in your local area
and claim them for your team there's
gonna be three different teams that you
can join it's basically blue yellow and
red and you're going to decide this at
level five I suggest picking a team that
there aren't too many up in your area
because as you can see here this is a
yellow team gym which technically means
were on the same team and I'm not really
gonna be able to claim it but that's
okay we can still do a little battle to
demonstrate how exactly that works and
to show you guys what it looks like now
the cool thing about gyms is that once
you are the owner you can use them to
get pokey coins to buy stuff like
incubators and other items to lure
pokemons towards you which you can find
in the pokey shop you can obviously buy
these also with money but if you want to
buy them with pokey coins for example
100 will get you 20 falls you can get
some eggs you can get some incense which
lure Pokemon to you and so forth and as
well as some bag upgrades in Pokemon
storage upgrades which I'll assume we
all need later on but let's jump out of
here and actually start up a gym battle
and see how this works so we've got ad
murdered Ling's Adam Gerling who is
currently the owner with his Drowsy and
I think we can take this baby so let's
go ahead and fight him with our brand
new jinx which has 272 CP so we're much
more powerful than him and I'm gonna
show you guys how it works alright so
once we enter the battle it's not like
regular Pokemon it's not turn-based
we've got to go and start tapping to go
in attack him we're gonna throw
everything we can at him we do have a
special meter which you can see building
up at the bottom of me and you can dodge
by swiping left and right I killed them
so I couldn't really show you that he's
gonna keep going here but as you can see
I'm gonna build up my special meter
which will allow me to use a special
attack and I can also swipe left and
right to do dodges which are kind of not
really too great right now if I click on
my special attack it's gonna use it
which well I'm almost I lost that
alright so we're back at it or fighting
them again
it's drowsy versus drowsy and really
there's not much to it just pretty much
tap as fast as you can
like I said wait for that special to
build up and then hit them with a
special by tapping on the bar up here
and then we should be able to go hit
them all come on
oh I think we got him oh guy oh come on
wait no way
you gotta darn it yeah we lost okay
that's suck so after you're done a
battle your Pokemon might be while not
dead but they may need to revive or they
might just be really low health before
you can use them again so if I go into
here I can enter into our inventory and
I'll show you guys for example the
potions that we've been getting from the
poking stops can be used to help your
pokemons out so we're gonna give a
couple to our jinx to get her back to
full health as well as some to our
drowsy so he is ready and able to fight
again he's gonna give us some hearts
like thank you I almost died and there
we go now like I said this is owned by
my team so I really shouldn't matter too
much but if you're in your local area
you can claim the gym and once you do
claim the gym everyone in the area will
see that you are the gym master one of
the things I don't really like about
this is that it doesn't use the AR
feature I think it'd be really cool to
see them on the ground it's kind of how
it is right now but hopefully we'll get
that in the future
alright guys so that pretty much wraps
up our top 10/10 features you need to
know when you're playing Pokemon go it
might have been more or less I don't
really know but I wanted to tell you
guys everything I knew so that when you
get it whether it's not available in
your country or you've been playing it
but you're just a little confused about
some of the features you'll know exactly
what to do once you have that all down
you're ready to go out and hunt down
your Pokemon of course a be sure to
check out your map because different
locations will have different Pokemon if
you're looking to have water or desert
or anything like that it's gonna have
the different Pokemon per the biome and
if you have some suggestions leave them
down below I'd love to know if you guys
know some tips and tricks that we don't
know about yet and you could of course
can help share that with the community
I'm gonna ride this Pokemon off into the
sunset I'll see you guys in the next
episode
