With the map open, click the right stick to orient the map with the north to the top of the screen. For me that helps a lot when finding my way.

This was very useful, we love you Zack! I'm getting Violet and this is a long weekend where I live so I'm planning on having 72 hours of hardcore, uninterrupted gaming without even catching a glimpse of sunlight in the entire weekend, just like the gaming gods intended 🥰

Thank you for the early game tips! I am trying very hard to avoid big spoilers and streams of people playing the game (my switch does not let me play the game yet...), but early game stuff is very helpful!

I wish I knew this before. Im glad theyre experimenting, but I also hope they wont stop continue the way the old games used to be. I miss routes.

If you can get I-bui, if it has any neutral Nature, evolve it into either E-fi or Burakki-, and its Synchro Ability will have each Pokémon you get match the leading Pokémon's Nature. You can be able to up your Pokémon's stats properly.

Literally the BEST early game tip and trick video I've EVER seen! Cause you talk about shit that's actually NOT spoken of in reveals!!! NEVER would've noticed the battle pass honestly XD

It’s about time I see a vid that explains how GREAT this game really is!! There are a ton of mechanics and creativity to surprise all Pokémon fans. Not just frame rates that can be updated in the future.

This is my first pokemon game since the Gameboy. I have no idea how each item does, I need massive help lol

Is interesting how you can break game difficulty by exploring other areas, but will make the adventure more enjoyable if you dont want to rush.

You can also sometimes find Chest Gimmighoul in ruins.

I'm going go the pokemon center in Hiroshima today to get my game:)

[TheExile]

Thanks for the video. Surprised to hear about those academy mechanics since they were never mentioned in the marketing but it seems neat.

My favorite tip was lookout for the three colors of PokeBalls scattered across the map that contains items, tms, & PokeBalls.

I love that giant Gameboy cartridge of Violet, where can I get one??

[MrKittyhead]

I’m over seas, so I’m getting my copy in two to four weeks.😅 I’m still excited though.

[srod]

[honeysweet]

[RedHotMessResell]
