FuNKyShO, most underrated PoGo channel?
This guy has made many informative videos, mostly comparing movesets, (though there are some other useful ones like his most recent one of quick move damage rounding).
And his channel only has 2k+ subs (I feel he deserves at least 20k, maybe more), compared to useless clickbaiters like FsuAtl who has many times more subs.
P.S. Trainer Tips is the only good channel that gets the number of subs he deserves.

Mystic is a young kid who shows his age but he seems like a nice guy who gives the kids who follow him time on camera. My only beefs with him are his countless incorrect predictions and showing off way too much of his privileged lifestyle. 18 year olds shouldn't be bragging about the car and apartment daddy got for them.
How can you be sure daddy got them for him?
He has been a YouTuber for a long time, and even has a manager to guide his career. I suspect making PoGo videos was a career choice guided by his manager more than just playing a game he likes as the others do.
Yes, he is a goof, but is actually the most professional of all of the YouTubers you mention - I think he plays the goof part up because it works for the camera.
His game knowledge is not all that...but he doesn't claim it to be. He just plays the game the way many others would.
He does make predictions, but they are just the same as all the other YouTubers...no more or less accurate.
I think you underestimate his off camera efforts to maintain a successful YouTube channel.
It's possible but there's no way he can afford that lifestyle, where he lives, based off the views he gets per video. All the traveling he does... it's at least a $750k/year lifestyle. At least. So, maybe you're right and there's more income coming from elsewhere but... You see where his dad lives though and it's obvious he's loaded. Whatever, if I was him I'd want to show it off a bit too. He also has good production quality once he started aping his videos off of Nick's format.
Out of the "big 4" I like Mystic the most. I like his personality most all of the time. I don't see him as much of a "goof" though. Jonno is a goof.
He has had another channel going for years, while he lived at home - so he had no expenses with a decent income...so that explains his ability to get a car loan/lease
I think he shares his apartment with others.
The travelling is a tax deduction as part of his business - and it appears it is usually at least dual purpose when he travels.
I think you massively over estimate the cost of his 'lifestyle'.
His parents house does not look like one where the parents can afford to fund a 750k a year lifestyle for their children - I think you have his expenses and the parents wealth assessment WAY off.
But you're aware his parents and he live in 2 of the top 3 most expensive places in the US, right? So even houses that don't look all that still cost all that. I think his dad's house looks pretty nice however. Santa Monica area is ridiculously expensive. My brother in law is a cardiologist who can't afford to buy in the area and his rent is more than three times my Chicago mortgage and I live in a great neighborhood.
Travel deductions don't add up to much and I know because I'm a freelancer who travels. As for if he splits his apartment with roommates, that's news to me. He's never mentioned living with others unless I missed that.
Yup...you missed that.
He walked in with the camera rolling once and the his mates looked at him like 'turn that *%$# camera off'...so I think that they don't want to be on camera.
His brother takes gyms with him just so he can get pokecoins - that isn't the action of someone who has parents funding their every whim.
Oh yes...more subs for Funky
i smell a lil bit hate on your comment.
Yes i m poor and i dont live in usa like him and i do hate life for that but its not his fault.
I dont think he is braggin about anything he had so far.Watched his every single video.
He has very little knowledge about the game but he doesnt claim to be a good player anyways...
About predictions. They are predictions . People shoot them from their A-holes so if u beliave them %100 its you man. Sorry
He also knows what people will watch too based off all our comments. He's a big gearhead and both the cars he's had since broadcasting are not for the average teenager.
I actually don't mind that his knowledge of the game is shallow. It's what has always endeared him to me in the first place. Plus, he goes out and explores on foot which is rare for you tubers.
As for predictions, get one or two right. Sometimes his videos are based off predictions and are completely off base. SUK is the king of that though. I know you have to constantly upload to make money but it seems like filler. Of course, Niantic doesn't help the YouTube community much with the lack of content themselves.
funky is from Singapore? I was under the impression he is form one of the scandinavian countries :).
I also think he deserves more followers. Also poke ak, another battling guru :) has a small number of followers. Might be due to the fact that the ones interested in battling are a small percent from pogo players interested in video content (whom are in turn a small percent of active players)?
Quite a lot of player do battle gym as rare as possible, the bare minimum to collect they desired lvl of coins. Those are not at all interested on the finesse from funky's videos or on the details from pokebattler.com simulations, or the detailed articles from this site. At most they are interested in the gym tiers (quite a few posters from this forum did not read the follow up articles after gym tiers related to battling and that showed from their questions and even 'new' theories :) ).
Yes he is from Singapore, so am I. He did mention that in one of his videos' description if I remember correctly.
Also, Singapore is so small that 1-hour spawns are almost always reachable by driving from any part of the island.
I also caught a Snorlax recently by taking a public bus to the spawn location.
