HOW FAR AWAY ARE NEARBY POKÉMON? 

You should have walked further, till the footsteps vanished. That way we could have maximum amount of meters till the pokemon appears. (For example if I see a Pikachu on the list with 3 footsteps: well a Pikachu is within ** meters of me) Hope that makes sense, good video tho

Random person: What are you doing? Trainer tips: Scientific research Random person: Oh cool! what are you researching? Trainer tips: POKEMON

Oh my god, it's been a century since footsteps were removed from the nearby pokemon view. It's nice to remember 2016 summer with these kind of videos. Also proud of what Nick has achieved in this years. Congratulations man!

Any team Instincts here?

So in feet it's: 40m=120ft 60m=180ft 90m=270ft Thanks america for being different!!!

TEAM RED!!! Who's with me?!?! >:)

*Doesn't matter - the Tracking System has been broken for days now* -_-

For me I rarely ever see 2 or 1 steps. It just jumps from 3 steps to being right in front of me

Go Team Mystic!

Thanks for this extremely helpful video. Sike. I ain't got no footsteps but 3

The footsteps dont change on mine :( It is always at 3 no matter how close I am D:

Is it just me or every pokemon is three steps away from me?

So glad you did this experiment and #TeamMysticFTW

All I find are pidgeys, rattatas and weedles

No matter what my footprints say, it always show 3 footprint.

I just found your videos, and I wanted to say THANKS. The reason is I just got back into pokemon, your tips and comments have been amazing. Please keep up the great work.

Where's team mystic!!!

My foot steps always stays at 3 ,_,

How are you playing with the footsteps? My footsteps are always on 3.

i always have 3 footprints even if the pokemon stands next to me

Great video bro, kind of suspected you to just guess. Nice to see you made the attempt to gather reliable evidence.

I have a question, when is the ideal time to throw a pokeball? Some sources are saying when the ring around the pokemon is smallest, others say when it is largest.

Had this recommend today and I goosebumps watching! Keep doing what you love, Dude!

I feel so lucky to have found you. You're the only channel I've seen doing this kind of stuff. Keep the good content :)

Can you do a test to see just how far 3 foot steps really is. The minimum is 90, but what is the max?

Go to Santa Monica Pier. I went last night and there were at least 300 trainers on the boardwalk. And some rare spawns

Very glad you did this multiple times, at first I thought too that it would be innacurate because of server lag. But I was very happy when you repeated the 'experiment' as you should in a good research :)

This was the video that introduced me to your channel in the summer :)

every pokemon even if right after me it's set as 3 footprint pokemon, is that a bug?

When are they going to fix the glitch where they are all three steps away

Cheers for videos guys, helping a lot with the adventures.. much appreciated, keep up the great work. from across the pond ✌

Very well thought out videos and I love watching them!! Subbed!!

What app did you use to measure how many meters you where walking?? Thumbs this up so people can see.

Your channel and sub feed is growing so fast!!

I've been watching your videos so far, and I really enjoy them. Your editing skills are great, research is incredibly thorough, and ever video shows that you put a lot of effort into creating them. All in all your content is amazing, and I hope for your success.

Your scientific research has answered so many questions of mine! Thanks dude, keep up the good work.

This is so well investigated, just like I (as a former lab technician) would have done it!! Nice!! Here in my hometown I only see 3 footsteps (I never spotted pokemon with 1 or 2 footsteps) but hopefully in the future I will find some rare ones nearby and now I finally know what the footsteps mean. Thank you!!!

My Nearby thing shows 3paws all the time even when they pop up how do you fix it

Really appreciate the videos. Im currently in Korea anxiously waiting for the release. Keep it up, and keep the videos rolling for the new players. It's valuable information.

These videos are really great and very helpful! Definitely a subscriber now and keep up the great work!

I have never seen under 3 footsteps. Its either 3 footsteps or the pokemon is in catchable range. Is there a fix to this that I am unaware of?

what is the maximum though for 3 footsteps? It would be nice to know the max so we know if it's worth hunting for. If the max is 300m it may not be worthwhile looking as it will prolly disappear

That's a good way to lay out the experiment. Simple but effective.

Very cool experiment! Thanks for sharing, man. Love your vids.

But how far must you walk from the 3rd footstep for the pokemon to drop from your nearby list? I typically have only 3 step pokemon in my nearby list when I'm home, and no matter what direction I walk the steps 90% of the time don't go down. In fact I typically discover another pokemon that was previously not even on my nearby list before the steps on the others go down. I never try for 3 steppers because of this issue. Its simply impossible for me to find them because the list never tells me if I'm getting closer or further. Hell, I've been at a gas station about 6 miles from my house and saw a 3 step pokemon, drove home and after about 5 miles I checked my list and it was still on my list at 3 steps..

see now something I would like to know is the direction of the pokemon

wow your channel grew so much within a few days. you deserve it dude, keep up the hard work!

That dedication... Good job man, I will deffo spread this info around

so every pomemon is 90 meters away for me always

it only shows 3 steps on the new update

Man I've been watching your videos all day. But keep up the good work.

This was a very simple but pretty useful experiment. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Now we can all use this once they fix the 3 print big.

I have a question, my nearby menu is bugged, everytime a pokemon is nearby it shows 3 footsteps no matter what, all of them show 3 footsteps, even when they spawn, it shows 3 footsteps, this bothers me cause it makes harder for me to find a specific pokemon, how do I fix this?

So the real question is, how far will it be on your screen till it disappears? Please do this next!

When you re-do this video to determine the upper limit of the 3-steps pokemon, it would be great to draw circles within circles. The most innercircle representing the 40m radius (so a 80 meter circle in diametre), the second 20 meters outside of that, and the third, 30 meters outside of the previous, and then the outer circle outside which it vanishes (the upper limit of the 3steps pokemen). Awesome video, man!

I love your videos, they are very informational, its is the best channel about pokemon go that ive found so far. thanks

why did they remove that !

What about Pokemon in the 2nd-9th position on the nearby map?

Interesting video! Your videos are really cool I like how you edit them & everything keep it up! 😁👌🏻

Knew it was gonna be a good video from the start. Keep it up!!

where's Juan?

I never get 2 steps or 1 step. I get 3 steps and walk and it spawns out of nowhere

Great research man hatsoff!!!! hell of a research der Prof Oak wil b proud!!!

awesome channel! congrats on the success! love ur content!

thats not a good idea snake ekanks is a team rocket pokemon it might steal your pickachu

I'm so lazy :( Nevertheless #TeamMystic

Great work and great video! Thanks Nick

Hi Nick, you’ll never see this, but as someone who has been a viewer since day 1, it’s been amazing watching you grow so much. Not just you, but your filming and editing as well! Keep up the amazing work! Keep it classy 👌

I'm on Team Mystic, but seriously, all this Team fighting bull shit is nonsense.

Mine keeps on saying 3 steps when it's not far at all

good video ! love your Pokemon Go videos :)

Great work man! This really is good to know :)

How are you walking 40 kilometers so fast?

PLEASE HELP ME MY FOOTSTEPS ARE NOT WORKING

You're not a big channel and yet your videos are really well edited, high quality, and interesting too... Kudos pal

great video man keep it up!

Quality methods, my dude; and interesting results, too! Great vid.

this video deserves more views and likes! it was super helpful!

Yo!! I ran into you at a Pokestop and I'm just now finding your channel, good luck to ya man :D

The best test video I watched Thank you Very HELPFUL ! !

Very cool test, thank you very much for this research!

Thanks guys I'm enjoying your training tips

OMG! I subbed at 6k and that was like last week, your now at 77k! Congrats!

Excellent, excellent work friend. Thank for this! will be sharing

First usefull video about tracking a pokemon thank you!

Great vid man!

Very neat idea for a channel! Keep up the hard work guys!

Ty for this information, was curious about that :)

nice thank you for your time and effort and editing skills and directing and screenplay and cinematography and brilliant acting

Great production in your vids. The Neistat of Poke-Go.

great vid. it's really helpful

thank you! this was extremely helpful!

Thanks man, this was very informative..

Nice work, you earned a sub

this was a great experiment! thanks for the info.

Very well made video :) Thanks!

thanks for the work, prof!

Thank you for conducting the experiment!

Gotta say, as a science undergrad, your experimental method is pretty on-point in terms of execution and repetition. I'm still curious as to how far you'd need to be for footprints to show up at all (I believe you only mentioned that they show up if you're 90m < away? Kinda vague, but that's okay). Thanks!

Thank you so much ,this is really good even though the position from GPS is not accurate in different location!!!! ThX!!!!
