Before listing off a number of reasons why he isn’t a fan of Pokémon Go, YouTuber Ryan Higa (a.k.a. nigahiga) explains that he’s a lifelong Pokémon fan, having collected cards, played all the video games, watched every episode of the television series, and even memorized all the songs from its soundtrack.

With that said, he’s a little disappointed with Pokémon Go. “Pokémon Go is basically Google Maps mixed with Four Square with a Pokémon Snapchat filter on it,” he says. He then explains that his disappointment mostly stems from difficulty with signing in, servers going down, constant freezing, and the speed in which the game drains his phone battery.
He also took issue with the game’s commercials, calling them misleading. While waiting for the Pokémon Go servers to start working again, Higa put together his own Pokémon Go commercial, showing a more honest-side to the game. He even added an updated version of the Pokémon theme song.
