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.

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.

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

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.

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

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”

[jandgmodteam]

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’

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

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 just downloaded Pokemon go back after 4 years
It's nostalgic asf 😢

[Gameflyer]

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.

What a history, you documented it very well. Great video bro!

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!

[viktor]

Oh i remember when the Pokemon maps was active I got most of the rare spawns back in 2016 such simple times.

The original regional Pokémon was not Corsola. They were three Kanto Pokémon and an ultra unlock resulted in them getting their shiny turned on.

[AlaskanMagicK]

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…

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.

[KraZerrr]
