FUN FACT: this video only uses FIVE MINUTES AND TWENTY SECONDS of footage! This fact will be of especially deep interest to any Nintendo PR representatives who happen across this video . . .

Somebody get this man a raise.

The last joke in this video is genius.

Wait, if your rival is so nice and self-aware, are YOU consequently the mean rival?!

I’m not even halfway done with this video but this is already the best video on the new Pokémon games so fer

Tim Rogers is a national treasure.

Hell Yeah! Tim Rogers is the only reason I watch Kotaku :)

Uhhh... Everyone seems to forget that fact that Jessie, James and Meowth were in the original Pokemon Yellow!

Came in expecting the usual review left concerned and subscribed.

Since when does Kotaku have such a good freakin' reviewer? This is amazing.

LITERALLY scrub the earth clean of THEIR filth!!!!😂🤣😂🤣

I enjoyed this video to the utmost extent of the law! before this video, I was a blind and parched desert-dweller fumbling with broken-nailed-fingers in the sand for any trace of moist ground in which to dig for mother gaia's milk. as my leathered digits found nothing but rock, bone, and dead vegetation, i found this video and was plunged shoulder-deep into cool, clear (i imagine, seeing as i cannot see in this analogy) waters. i had found that which i sought. i drunk deep of it, and hit the LIKE button.

My heart actually shuddered with joy at the pokecentre healing chime

either this dude smokes 5 packs of cigs a day... or he is batman

Dude first time on your channel but damn it's funny how you emphasize so much on Pokemon and pokeballs

Very impressed with your work Tim. Immediately hoped the video was hosted by your personal channel and realized your undoubtably numerous narrated videos are lost in a sea of other videos hosted by the indistinguishably named “Kotaku” channel.

Italian for friend is 'amico'. Should've called it Amikachu

"electric rat" PIKACHU USED THUNDERBOLT

That comment about what makes Let's Go Pokemon = "Nostalgia" + "Barely any Game Mechanics" made my day. XD

i was so confused at the title and it was this guys voice. i like this guy

"Catch ALL OF THEM. Scrub the earth clean of their filth!" legitimately the funniest shit that's come out of Kotaku in years.

"Look at this good boy! Learning about himself!" lol I'm dead

Omg. The whole “get pokeballs” repetition section had me cracking up. 😂

"Like two big scoops of water flavoured icecream" too good.

Can someone explain Tim's signature outro to someone who's new around these parts?

"I love when colorful letters congratulate me emphatically"

“You can get fancier balls..” Getting this game now. I could use a new pair of balls.

I don't think Tim rests, he's just churning these out. Not that I'm complaining!

So........ I’m very torn. I want to play Pokémon on my Switch..... but this isn’t what I want..... yet I want to play it...... can it be 2019 now? I’m ready for Gen 8.

I’ve never laughed harder over a review in my life until now! Thank you for the laughs good sir.

This guy needs his own show. Funny and witty dialogues. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your work Tim 🙏

Some Tim Rogers to save my week.

"it seems like a broken off piece of something. more than that, it seems like a broken off SMALL piece of something of a much larger SOMETHING that's not good." Best fucking line in this entire review. Thank you Tim. The message got through.

Oh god... that table in the middle of the room. I never would have noticed, but now I will never not notice.

I expected to watch a video about 13 differences for pokemon let's go, what I got was so much more.

this 'totally not a review' is amazing lol

I'm but a simple man when I hear Tim Rogers, I press like

I’ve haven’t watched a review on this channel for a while because I couldn’t connect to the reviewer but you I like you

That was badass! I had no intention of finishing that video when I clicked on it.. well done

Can I have Tim as my Pokemon ?

Someone give this guy a raise

Did anyone notice that old man that stands outside the grass gym used to say “hehe this gym is great,it’s full of women” but in let’s go they changed it to “hehe this gym is great,it’s full of strong trainers” lol

Though it's probably hard on Mr. Rogers, love the fact that we're getting so much content produced by him of late. Thanks sir!

Absolutely love that you referenced DQIII

I’m glad you mentioned geocaching. I got into geocaching well before Pokémon GO was a thing. Along with growing up playing the original Pokémon games as well, I just didn’t understand the appeal of Pokémon GO. I gave it a try, but I was disappointed with how boring it quickly became. Pokémon is about being a Pokémon trainer. Although the catchphrase of Pokémon is “Gotta catch ‘em all!”, catching the Pokémon was not the main thrill of the original games. In my opinion, the main thrill of the Pokémon games is the rpg element of training and evolving your Pokémon through battling. Pokémon GO instead relied on it’s candy system which required you to catch multiples of the same Pokémon species. That’s what made me abandon the game entirely. It was monotonous and very reminiscent of mobile Gacha games. When it comes to Pokémon Let’s GO, the Pokémon company has done a good job at slowly introducing the battling element of Pokémon to the Pokemon GO community. The battling and leveling system is VERY hand-holdy. You no longer have to switch-train your weaker Pokémon since you automatically start with an Exp. Share. I understand now why the starting Pokémon have increased stats compared to their wild counterparts. This game was made for the Pokémon GO community. Their main thrill has been the act of catching the Pokémon, not battling with them. The graphics and overworld sprites of the Pokémon look amazing, but this game is not for me.

I just watched this video for like the fifth time, and I just finally got the joke at the end when I read the number 925925 aloud... Tim is a genius

This game takes place after the red and blue games. All three trainers are there, red blue and green.

This was one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long while. Perfect sense of humor!

That fun fact about Ape Escape 3 sharing the same art director as Megaman Legends through me in for a loop! Good stuff!

Subscribed! This video was amazing, and Tim you are my new favorite person.

Your narration is sooo hilarious and random Tim lol

Alright, this is officially my favorite review I have seen so far of Pokemon Let's Go, & will likely remain as my favorite!

this is weird but i think im you and i kept envisioning my dad watching this laughing and being proud of me

I'm so happy you mentioned Mega Man Legends, this game reminds me so much of it.

I lost it when you brought up the tv in the middle of the room lol

The narrator creeped me out, and yet I still watched the whole video

The irony in this narration is top notch

Tim's reviews are just the best thing that's ever happened to Kotaku.

5:32 "We keep these monsters Inside balls, inside a box,inside a bag". Well, since you put it like that it's kinda terrifying...

The table in Prof. Oak's lab is made of Oak. Haha this is gold!!

Tim Rogers? Never hit like so fast. Side note I was absolutely dying at the naming portion of the video.

I'm only just now subscribing and I'm weak as hell at the jokes 🤣 I actually laughed out loud several times no bs 😅

20 Years of emotional scaring later, you now can continue your journey to be the very best.

I had no idea how hard I was going to be laughing at this

"I was 19 years old when pokemon red and blue came out" tfw the narrator is old enough to be your father 🙃

I never knew Kotaku was this much entertaining!!

Um I have to disagree about one tiny detail *Ahem* If I remember you said Jessy James and Meowth are acting exactly like themselves but from my viewpoint you’re 2/3 correct with that statement. The very fact Meowth failed to utter a single word concerns me. Even often saying the famous Tram Rocket Greeting the classic “Meeeowth that’s right” was specifically missing the “That’s right” part.

Frikachu... I'm dying lol :,-D

It's cool to savour the trainers disappointment 😆I'm a total N00B Let's Play of Pokemon Let's Go and I'm loving it right now and I'm hoping this will be my gateway into more hardcore Pokemon games.

I'm not a big fan of Kotaku, but this video was so much fun to watch. I want to see more reviews from this guy now.

man, tim is one of the funniest guys. you had me laughing the whole time. great video.

2:46-2:54 lmao I’m hollering 😂💀 Subscribed

Thank you KZfaq for suggesting this video. It's fabulous!

My fave part in this big is him saying...."POKEBALLS"

What do you mean “until gen 7 your rival hasn’t been nice”? Gen 5 you had two rivals, both of them nice. Gen 6 in Kalos your rival was nice. Heck, even back in Gen 3 your rival was super nice and you could make the case that your rival in gen 4 was nice. The only mean rivals you had were Blue in Gen 1 and Silver in Gen 2

Please do more like this in the future. Love it haha. Gotta sub.

14 - My hairline is different from Red/Blue and Let's Go.

I know no one really likes to talk about white and black and their sequels but in black and white 2 you're rival was the nicest bloke ever at least those games had that going for it

Sarcasm- did ya get it? Did Ya Get It DID YOU GET IT?

I'm just going to stop playing games and watch your reviews because they are somehow more fun. I haven't laughed this much ever. Like, *ever*, ever.

"Art director of Ape Escape 3 is also the one from Mega Man Legends?" God dammit. Now I want Mega Man Legends 3 again FUCK.

What are you talking about? Tim is like the BEST. NAME. EVER!

I freaking lost it at “Jik”. Lmao!

"......for easier imprisonment" damn... love the narration.. 😂

Thanks for letting me know this is from Kotaku right at the start almost watched this pos.

I'm a hardcore gamer, however I prefer Pokemon GO mechanics over standard mechanics (I hate the constant fighting and prefer to just collect) so this is right up my alley.

Great video. I don’t think these games are for me but it’s good to see the framerate at a smooth level.

FUN FACT: The name "Tim" is short for "Tim the Enchanter"

This is the best review for Pokemon that I've watched! Are there more of Tim Rogers' reviews??

thanks tim! another great video.

My first thought with this game was ...wow, so this is what it’d be like if they crosses animal crossing and Pokémon...

Just got off a call with Chief and he said this video... this is it

Haha this guy is hysterical! When I saw he named his rival Jik I was in tears, although as a kiwi, WE TOO pronounce it Jack. Still, this was qkalatii 🤣👏🏻

i played my red and blue and yellow on my switch back in 98 my 8 year old self loved it

Just because they gave you one copies doesn’t mean it’s right it refer to the game by just one version. Call it both, as that’s the official title.

I live for Tim's gloriously eccentric reviews

This guy is the one gem that makes Kotaku worthwhile.

I just wish they made red and blue look like they suppose too.

The series has had nice rivals since Ruby & Sapphire. I have no idea how people don't remember this.
