Authored by Poké Trainer Nic | December 12, 2022

I recently wrote a tutorial around catching a Ditto in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on the Nintendo Switch. This was a setup for breeding Pokémon in the game which results in a copy of the Pokémon used.

Pokémon breeding is not a new concept. It was introduced in the earlier games of the series, and while the process has always been similar, things have changed a bit in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

If you're interested in breeding Pokémon to share with your friends and family, continue reading because we're going to walk through it in this tutorial.

Ditto has been an iconic Pokémon in most of the Pokémon games through the years. It isn't a Pokémon that you'd probably take with you into battle, but it certainly serves other purposes.

While Ditto hasn't been a hard to find Pokémon or a hard to catch Pokémon in previous games, things have changed a bit in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. In this tutorial we're going to look at what it takes to catch a Ditto and explore some of the things you can do with it.

Family Friendly Pokémon Trainers to Follow, 2022 Edition

Authored by Poké Trainer Nic | August 16, 2022

About a year ago I published my first list of Pokémon trainers to follow. In that article I mentioned how much the family loves to watch other content creators have fun opening Pokémon merchandise.

That still stands today, a year later!

First Year of Poké Trainer Nic: A Social Media Experiment

Authored by Poké Trainer Nic | March 05, 2022

It's been about a year since I started Poké Trainer Nic, and since having started, its expanded from a YouTube channel to a website, store, blog, and a network of social media accounts.

As a long time fan, it was only a matter of time before I started something like this. I grew up with Pokémon. My wife (Maria) grew up with Pokémon. Now it's something I can enjoy with my kids.

The brand didn't spawn out of nothing though. It actually started as a social media experiment to see how quickly I could scale something new in the modern age of content creators. This blog post is less about Pokémon and more about where I managed to take the brand in a year.

If you're interested in becoming a content creator, this is a great resource for you.
