Today I’ll be teaching you guys, in English, how to play Pokemon Go!

Three days ago, Pokemon Go has finally been released in Taiwan

and everyone is really crazy about the game

As for myself, I’ve also been captivated

Originally, the Monday video was gonna be about English Learning

but I’m just dying to share with you guys my thoughts about the game

so today’s video...umm...yep

However, I’ll be doing the video in English

so that’s still kinda has something to do with English, OK?

Like... a tiny bit related, so

if you wanna see Chinese subtitles

please do remember to turn on the CC captions

So today I’ll be giving you four basic tips

on how you can become a Pokemon Master

and be the best of the best

So, as you can see I’m level 19, just a little bit away from level 20

So, I've started just 2 days ago

and I’ve learned a lot of things along the way

so that’s what I’m gonna share with you today

Tip 1: How to Catch a Pokemon

We all know that you throw a Pokeball to catch wild Pokemon

but there’s actually a difference between

nice, great, and excellent throws

When you’re catching Pokemon

hold the Pokeball and observe the circle

So, depending on the size, if you hit the circle

you’ll get nice, great, or excellent throws

Nice!

If you manage to pull (it) off, you'll get extra catch rate

so that’s especially good

if you’re trying to catch high CP or rare Pokemons

Another way to boost your catch rate is the curveball

It'll take some practice but the way I do it is

I’ll spin it at the left bottom here and roll it out diagonally

OK, let's see if we got it. One roll, two rolls, three rolls! Got it! OK!

So, with the curveball, you also get some extra experience points

Oh! I leveled up! I leveled up! Level 20!

Tip 2: Incubating Eggs

The only other way to get Pokemons currently is by hatching eggs

You’ll have to go to the Pokemon menu and swipe *left to see your eggs

You can get eggs at Pokestops. The maximum you can carry is 9 eggs

they come in three different sizes, 2k eggs, 5k eggs, and 10k eggs

If you put your egg in egg incubators

then you’ll be able to hatch those eggs when you walk that distance

Oh! An egg is hatching! What is it? (singing in anticipation)

................................

I would recommend having 9 incubators up and running at all times

By default, you’ll get this infinite usage incubator

when you start the game, and the others you’ll have to get

by leveling up or buying them at the shop

For your reference, I’ll put an image here

to show you all the different Pokemons that you could get

by hatching 2K eggs, 5k eggs and 10k eggs

Tip 3: Powering Up and Evolving Pokemons

This is the most important tip! OK?

Listen to me carefully

do not

DO NOT

power up or evolve your Pokemons too early!

A Pokemon’s value is in its CP or Combat Power

Now, when you’re lower level

you’ll be more likely to run into low CP Pokemons

But as you gradually level up

you will meet more and more powerful Pokemons out in the wild

Oh! Clefairy! Let me catch this

Anyway...err...I was saying…

If you power up or evolve your Pokemon too soon

you’ll be wasting a lot of stardust and candy that’s hard to come by

plus in the future, you’ll be meeting more powerful Pokemon

out in the wild when you are higher leveled

So right here I have an example for you

If we look at this one right here, this Bulbasaur

I caught on my first day, it’s a CP 40

If I had powered this Bulbasaur up

I would’ve wasted a lot of stardust and candy

But as I play more, I started finding better Bulbasaurs out in the wild

This one is almost 10 times as powerful as my last one

So what I recommend is

to hold off powering up and evolving your Pokemons too soon

Wait until you are at a higher level

when out in the wild, Pokemons are far stronger

So that way, they’ll be a better investment of your stardust and candy

Also, with your extra Pokemons

you can transfer them to the professor and get candies

But be careful, you won’t be able to get that Pokemon back

once you’ve transferred them

Tip Four: Using Booster Items

There are three booster items in game:

incense, lucky egg, and lure module

They'll help you catch more Pokemons and level up faster

I would suggest using lucky eggs when you’re just starting out

because when your Pokedex is empty

getting new Pokemons grants you a lot of experience points

and lucky eggs double that

So even trash Pokemons like Caterpies and Pidgeys

will grant you loads of XP

this is the only time you’ll appreciate them

On the other hand, incense and lure modules

will attract more Pokemon to your location

One is placed on yourself, like this

and the other is placed on a Pokestop, like this

There you go

So, which one should you use?

If you’re gonna be moving around, then use an incense

If u're gonna be staying in one spot near a Pokestop, use a lure module

And that’s the four basic tips I have in store for you today!

Hopefully that will jump start your career as a Pokemon master
