00:26 If you've just heard about Pokemon Go, number one, wow, number two, it's a wildly popular

00:31 phone game that launched just two weeks ago.

00:34 And when anything gets wildly popular, YouTubers jump on that train.

00:38 The video has amassed over 3 million views in only two days, which, to be fair, isn't

00:43 very unusual for Casey Neistat.

00:45 For his trusty Pikachu, he enlisted the help of famous Snapchatter and YouTuber Shonduras.

00:50 He skateboards around New York in a Pikachu costume, which can't be easy or comfortable.

00:54 Shonduras has a behind the scenes video up on his channel where they get approached by

00:58 the NYPD.

00:59 You can't even do it on a motorized one, right?

01:00 Yes, we take this too much nonsense going on.

01:25 KingArthur8 said, "Casey, I really doubt your enthusiasm for Pokemon Go.

01:29 Don't just start making videos for views, going along with these stupid ass trends.

01:32 I have enjoyed watching your videos for like 1.5 years straight, but lately I'm not feeling

01:37 your videos as much."

01:38 I don't care.

01:39 Nobody wants to hear people talking about trends.

01:42 It's what's trending.
