Pokemon Go Speedruns are Insane

I challenged my friend Johnstone to a race in Pokemon Go. The first person to complete 9 of the 16 challenges wins. It's a lockout race -- so if one of us completes an objective, the other can't do the same one!

Go check out @JohnstoneYT and @partyarlie , who made this video fantastic :D

[JohnstoneYT]

This was actually the 6th attempt on this. He wouldn't let me leave until he won

[mrmonster]

That clip of people running to catch pokemon reminded me of a time when at least a hundred people we all ran like half a mile to get a snorlax

[rummagetherum]

It’s actually kinda wild (in a good way) for Nintendo to hit Eric with a cease and desist and to then having a fraction of Nintendo sponsor him

[DougDoug]

I would like to announce that I am bald.

[PulseEffects]

The optimization in this run is insane. 🤯 By starting their timer while inside of the state of California, losing time to bad weather conditions is nearly impossible given it rarely snows or rains. Well played gamers! 👏

[BolphesarusMaximusWardius]

'And they have been updating this game for the past 8 years'

Meanwhile me contiplating my life as I just realised Pokemon Go came out 8 years ago

[randmperson]

I know it’s down to the editing, but I love how it seems like Eric got to hang out and do this with friends…while John walked around alone. 😂

[atakiri]

This was genuinely adorable and fun to watch?? And I'm glad it came down to a car washing competition rather than a tie with the knowledge that the real Pokémon GO was the friends we made along the way

[nilsperry]

3:45 Are no one going to talk about the random person with a banana peel on their head?

[Fukkatsu]

Finally a sponsored video that isn’t so in your face that it’s a giant ad. Y’all actually made an interesting and fun idea for the sponsor and made an entertaining video. I really appreciate that!

[Spoop]

Whats even more insane is that they exist lol

[Trunks]

The timeline where The Pokemon Company sponsors a video where Buneary gets used as a sponge is atrocious

[nefariosgliscor]

I think with the raid ones that both of you did together, the winner should have been decided with the summary page because it always shows who had the final strike, most charged attacks, etc.

[zaychavitch]

"I go outside" my boy got DESTROYED

[jugemujugemugokounosurinantoka]

First 20 seconds: "Remember when you went outside and..."
Hol' up... You're assuming too much from us

[Terastens]

The fact that gigantamax was too powerful to even be possible in this challenge shows how broken those raids are

[JacksonWootenOfficial]

“Dynamax and Gigantimax is great for new people or people trying to get back into the game.” NO IT IS NOT 😭

[jameswheaton]

I love Johnstone's blank stare at the beginning before he dashes off

[knightlyvirtues]

"He's the smallest guy I know, next to you!" Actually made me burst out laughing LMAO.

[lorenam.]

Speedrunners finally ACTUALLY speed running
