00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.436
My name is Ker and this is my Pokemon story.

00:00:42.015 --> 00:00:46.274
Welcome to as the Pokemon Ball turns, where we interview people about their experience with Pokemon.

00:00:46.634 --> 00:00:48.195
My name is David Hernandez.

00:00:48.491 --> 00:00:55.752
I'm joined by a BOLO scar, a shiny hunter, a Twitch streamer, and a Pokemon Go community ambassador BOLO scar.

00:00:55.841 --> 00:00:57.042
Welcome to the podcast.

00:00:57.042 --> 00:01:01.271
I think this is gonna be the first time I've ever had somebody, both community ambassador and a content creator.

00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:01.948
Yes.

00:01:02.023 --> 00:01:02.262
Yes.

00:01:02.442 --> 00:01:02.773
hi.

00:01:02.773 --> 00:01:04.093
Thank you so much for welcoming me to the show.

00:01:04.093 --> 00:01:04.632
I appreciate it.

00:01:04.632 --> 00:01:06.582
I, I would just want you to know, very, very excited.

00:01:06.582 --> 00:01:07.093
A little nervous.

00:01:07.093 --> 00:01:07.692
I'll be honest with you.

00:01:07.692 --> 00:01:13.832
I think we already talked about this before the actual thing actually started, but, I'm definitely very, very excited to go ahead and share my Pokemon story, a bunch of other things that I have to talk about and stuff like that.

00:01:13.832 --> 00:01:15.712
But David, man, I really appreciate it, man.

00:01:15.742 --> 00:01:16.162
So

00:01:16.483 --> 00:01:16.772
Yeah,

00:01:16.822 --> 00:01:17.423
really very excited.

00:01:17.888 --> 00:01:20.528
well, here's what you gotta learn is you gotta realize, you just gotta embrace it.

00:01:20.528 --> 00:01:22.028
Like for me, I'm always nervous.

00:01:22.028 --> 00:01:24.757
I'm never really comfortable for those who know I have anxiety.

00:01:24.757 --> 00:01:26.947
So like I say, I just learned to embrace it.

00:01:26.947 --> 00:01:29.617
Like I'm just always gonna be fearful no matter what my mind tells me.

00:01:29.617 --> 00:01:29.947
So

00:01:30.143 --> 00:01:30.742
Oh, absolutely.

00:01:31.567 --> 00:01:37.337
now I know this is something I wanted to dive into and you teased it to me a little bit, but what is the meaning Boloscar.

00:01:37.358 --> 00:01:40.328
For me, it sounds like it's maybe a mix of a name and something else.

00:01:40.328 --> 00:01:43.328
Like what's the story behind that before we dive into anything Pokemon related?

00:01:43.353 --> 00:01:46.284
so it actually is my name, Oscar is, my, my legal name.

00:01:46.703 --> 00:01:48.534
the whole Boloscar thing basically.

00:01:48.534 --> 00:01:51.593
So it, a lot of people always say like, BOLO Scar or Boker or something like that.

00:01:51.593 --> 00:01:55.073
It's actually bolo a bo Boker, like Oscar, like the end,

00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:55.698
okay.

00:01:55.838 --> 00:01:56.058
Or.

00:01:56.093 --> 00:01:57.289
Spanish you would say Bokar.

00:01:57.593 --> 00:02:03.054
So like, I guess you could say like, it has two different ways to say it, but truthfully, the English way sounds a little weirder.

00:02:03.054 --> 00:02:03.474
I get it.

00:02:03.534 --> 00:02:05.963
A lot of people say bolo scar instead, which is, I get it.

00:02:05.963 --> 00:02:07.073
You know, just the way it sounds.

00:02:08.093 --> 00:02:09.533
Sound like it's a little nerve in that one.

00:02:09.533 --> 00:02:09.924
I don't know.

00:02:10.098 --> 00:02:10.748
Exactly.

00:02:10.748 --> 00:02:15.098
But like, so a lot of my Twitch streamers, sorry, a lot of my Twitch viewers and a lot of my community members just call me bolo.

00:02:15.128 --> 00:02:18.359
It's just a lot simpler stuff like other than that, I'll go ahead and give you the origin of it.

00:02:18.359 --> 00:02:21.118
So I just want a quick shout out to my friend Nick.

00:02:21.169 --> 00:02:22.788
by the way, he also got married two years ago.

00:02:22.788 --> 00:02:23.419
I went to his wedding.

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:24.199
Congratulations, my man.

00:02:24.258 --> 00:02:25.278
I'm still proud of you for that.

00:02:25.378 --> 00:02:26.218
my friend Nick back in

00:02:26.234 --> 00:02:26.713
Back in seventh

00:02:26.729 --> 00:02:28.049
this is like, he was like my best friend ever.

00:02:28.079 --> 00:02:29.669
Like, he was one of the coolest guys ever.

00:02:29.669 --> 00:02:31.348
We used to play Xbox together and stuff like that.

00:02:31.528 --> 00:02:36.598
And he was like one of the only people in my grade who actually was very, very open, open to play video games, you know?

00:02:36.628 --> 00:02:37.049
'cause I think

00:02:37.663 --> 00:02:38.054
around that.

00:02:38.758 --> 00:02:40.829
I think video games are starting to be like a little more normalized.

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:41.818
Oh, that's kind of cool to do.

00:02:41.818 --> 00:02:43.258
Instead of being like, oh, hey nerd.

00:02:43.258 --> 00:02:43.324
You know?

00:02:44.163 --> 00:02:44.243
know.

00:02:44.818 --> 00:02:49.878
So like, it was during that whole like, I guess you say, you know, time of, you know, period of time Seventh grade.

00:02:50.174 --> 00:02:53.174
I meet him, you know, we really, really start kicking off as friends and stuff like that.

00:02:53.174 --> 00:02:55.454
We go to each other's houses, play Halo all the time, stuff like that.

00:02:55.454 --> 00:02:56.144
All that good stuff.

00:02:56.503 --> 00:03:02.213
And then, around this time, this is where the word YOLO started coming back into the, the mix of things, I guess you could say.

00:03:02.604 --> 00:03:07.734
And as a firm believer, I'm just gonna be be honest with you, David, I absolutely thought this word was the stupidest thing ever.

00:03:08.003 --> 00:03:12.713
Like when, when I had somebody explain this whole thing to me, I was like, there's no way.

00:03:12.743 --> 00:03:13.283
I'm sorry.

00:03:13.343 --> 00:03:14.394
You, you only, look, I get it.

00:03:14.723 --> 00:03:15.473
You know, whatever.

00:03:15.804 --> 00:03:16.403
Anyway,

00:03:16.683 --> 00:03:17.403
the motto, man.

00:03:17.593 --> 00:03:17.883
Yolo.

00:03:17.933 --> 00:03:18.623
Yeah, there you go.

00:03:18.623 --> 00:03:18.804
It's

00:03:18.834 --> 00:03:19.364
It's the motto

00:03:19.403 --> 00:03:19.524
and

00:03:19.783 --> 00:03:20.003
now.

00:03:20.334 --> 00:03:20.424
it.

00:03:20.424 --> 00:03:20.633
But like

00:03:20.794 --> 00:03:21.938
Back then it was just like,

00:03:22.014 --> 00:03:22.614
it also, it was

00:03:22.743 --> 00:03:23.804
was also a year after.

00:03:24.413 --> 00:03:28.044
came back as a word and it was like abbreviation of swagger, you know?

00:03:28.168 --> 00:03:28.437
So

00:03:28.448 --> 00:03:28.668
So,

00:03:28.687 --> 00:03:36.927
you know, it was like the whole weird, that weird, anyone can relate if you're in middle school, that whole weird middle school like jump or everybody tries to make, you know, go on, go off on a trend.

00:03:37.407 --> 00:03:42.570
Anyway, Nick knew how much, I absolutely hated the word Yolo, and he used to make fun of me all the time.

00:03:42.570 --> 00:03:49.390
Every single second he got in doing so, he messaged me on Xbox and he told me, oh my God, Oscar, get in a party right now, bro.

00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:50.200
I made something free.

00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:51.161
I was like, oh, okay, fine.

00:03:51.491 --> 00:03:56.798
So we hop into a VC And we're talking and he he says to me, dude, I

00:03:56.897 --> 00:03:57.018
I,

00:03:57.277 --> 00:03:57.608
did it.

00:03:57.788 --> 00:04:00.127
I made up says, I know how much you hate that word.

00:04:00.487 --> 00:04:01.987
I made up your own word.

00:04:02.687 --> 00:04:06.168
And I was like, OO, okay, well, where's this going?

00:04:06.288 --> 00:04:10.068
And then he was like, so it's like Yolo, but it's better.

00:04:10.457 --> 00:04:12.407
Imagine bolo.

00:04:14.717 --> 00:04:27.317
So at that point, I'm literally looking at my TV screen, with my coke in my hand and my, you know, my chicken Uggs in my desk and I am I'm just wondering what what the hell, mean?

00:04:28.127 --> 00:04:31.968
You know, like, because what what I thought meant, it still means this, be on

00:04:32.017 --> 00:04:33.358
on the lookout, or something like that, right?

00:04:33.468 --> 00:04:35.057
you know, the whole, Hey, put a bolo on this guy.

00:04:35.478 --> 00:04:35.927
No.

00:04:35.927 --> 00:04:37.197
So like, He ended up telling.

00:04:37.608 --> 00:04:38.447
well, no, Oscar, trust me.

00:04:38.478 --> 00:04:39.048
Gimme me a chance.

00:04:39.048 --> 00:04:44.117
He ended up telling me, and to this day, this gets everybody, when I told them, well actually David, I'm gonna ask you this first.

00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:45.048
What do you think it means?

00:04:45.548 --> 00:04:46.358
Balo scar.

00:04:46.774 --> 00:04:47.704
Just BOLO in general?

00:04:47.918 --> 00:04:49.319
Balo, let's see.

00:04:49.588 --> 00:04:56.838
Well, my, one half of my body tells me it means bowling in Spanish and then the other half of my body tells me it's some kind of Mexican bread.

00:04:56.838 --> 00:04:59.809
So that's my, one of those are my, those, one of those are my guesses.

00:04:59.954 --> 00:05:01.713
Well, the Mexican part is, is right.

00:05:01.713 --> 00:05:02.254
I am Mexican.

00:05:02.254 --> 00:05:03.244
So you got that part right.

00:05:03.649 --> 00:05:04.189
Alright.

00:05:04.353 --> 00:05:05.704
I'm gonna get through the nitty gritty.

00:05:05.704 --> 00:05:08.103
So bolo means in his words.

00:05:09.213 --> 00:05:10.384
only love Oscar.

00:05:11.358 --> 00:05:15.709
Hey, that's actually a very good, you could run with that.

00:05:15.754 --> 00:05:16.353
So

00:05:16.428 --> 00:05:17.064
thought about that?

00:05:17.254 --> 00:05:17.543
Yeah.

00:05:17.584 --> 00:05:18.153
know what's funny?

00:05:18.153 --> 00:05:19.264
I really did.

00:05:19.264 --> 00:05:24.394
And like the funny thing is when I first started streaming, everyone used to always ask me what BOLO meant.

00:05:24.603 --> 00:05:29.853
And I would kind of spin it in a way where I would go off of another story saying that like, there's, I love wrestling.

00:05:29.853 --> 00:05:30.153
I don't know.

00:05:30.213 --> 00:05:31.204
And I don't know if you know that or not.

00:05:31.204 --> 00:05:33.783
So one of my favorite wrestlers ever is, CM Punk.

00:05:33.843 --> 00:05:35.014
And a lot of people don't know.

00:05:35.466 --> 00:05:37.175
What the CM and his name means.

00:05:37.206 --> 00:05:39.365
'cause everyone thought it meant Chicago made punk.

00:05:39.365 --> 00:05:40.266
'cause he's from Chicago.

00:05:40.446 --> 00:05:48.516
It's not, apparently CM means Chick Magnet because he was a part of the Chick magnet tag team before he became, you know, his own solo guy.

00:05:48.786 --> 00:05:51.456
And he never tells anybody this because he loves people guessing.

00:05:51.456 --> 00:05:55.625
So I never told anybody this because I love people guessing what it meant, what it means and stuff like that.

00:05:55.865 --> 00:05:59.886
But then I also spin it in a way where like, oh, it's my stage name, it's Oscar Bola Bolas, my last name.

00:06:00.125 --> 00:06:03.485
So, you know, I just kind of like, I kind of sp spun it that way too.

00:06:03.485 --> 00:06:07.326
But yeah, it's just such, it's such a dumb thing, but at the same time it's also genius.

00:06:07.536 --> 00:06:09.636
So I probably should maybe rum it a little more.

00:06:09.636 --> 00:06:10.266
You're right David.

00:06:10.266 --> 00:06:11.124
I, I do agree with that.

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.269
Now I know that, you know, you grew up in the nineties and you talked about how you originally were playing Pokemon Go.

00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:19.144
Is that your first experience with Pokemon or does it even go back further than that?

00:06:19.269 --> 00:06:22.839
It It does go back further and, a lot of people don't even know the stories.

00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.160
I'm actually very excited to get into this.

00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.259
alright, let's, let's see, where does it start?

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:26.910
Let's, yeah,

00:06:27.089 --> 00:06:29.430
So all brings really my brother.

00:06:29.490 --> 00:06:30.120
So my my.

00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:31.350
a nineties, he's a nineties baby.

00:06:31.350 --> 00:06:32.870
He was born in 90, born in 93.

00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:35.389
He basically grew up with the entire Pokemon Mania essentially.

00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:41.579
So he experienced, of course the TCG, the anime coming to the states, the video games first, getting released on the Game Boy and stuff like that.

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.889
And, yeah, he was here basically for all of it.

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:45.810
And my sister wasn't really too into it.

00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:48.149
I mean, she knew about Pokemon, but like it was mainly just my brother.

00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:57.509
My mom would tell me stories constantly of like driving him around from like mall to mall, city to city, just to hopefully find a pack of cars on the shelf because what he used to tell me.

00:06:58.305 --> 00:06:59.774
were sold out almost everywhere.

00:06:59.774 --> 00:07:01.814
Like the whole Pokemon Mania was no joke.

00:07:01.985 --> 00:07:02.404
Mm-hmm.

00:07:02.415 --> 00:07:06.584
people that I even talked about this to, you know, who did grow up in the nineties, they said the exact same thing.

00:07:06.584 --> 00:07:07.394
It was no joke.

00:07:07.394 --> 00:07:14.625
You would barely even find any kind of Pokemon merchandiser media anywhere at a physical store that wasn't already like, smashed up by other kids.

00:07:14.685 --> 00:07:17.165
And like, I feel like I kind of missed that whole experience by the way.

00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:20.834
what he used to tell me was he used to wake up Up every single Saturday morning.

00:07:20.910 --> 00:07:23.189
wb watch new episodes, the of the anime.

00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:27.089
And then, you know, of course when it moved the Cartoon Network later on, he used to watch basically all that.

00:07:27.375 --> 00:07:38.257
for me, my first experience with Pokemon when I was four years old, and I actually went with him to a video store because that was actually, I believe the same year I believe when the Tios and Lajas movie came on.

00:07:38.257 --> 00:07:42.307
VHS and a lot A lot of, probably didn't remember this.

00:07:42.583 --> 00:07:51.163
If you bought a, apparently like a first edition copy of the same like VHS case, you get an exclusive tios and laia holographic card inside of the, of the VHS case.

00:07:51.478 --> 00:08:00.177
lo and behold, I actually got it and he got so so'cause I knew he much, he loved Pokemon, but I got it because I thought it was cool and my mom used to kind of like, prioritize me.

00:08:00.177 --> 00:08:02.577
Like, you know how it is, younger siblings get most of it, you know what I mean?

00:08:02.822 --> 00:08:03.642
you got all the attention?

00:08:03.673 --> 00:08:04.322
Yeah, I'm sure.

00:08:04.588 --> 00:08:06.687
So I was definitely, I was definitely the younger sibling.

00:08:06.687 --> 00:08:07.588
Shout us to Patrick by the way.

00:08:08.038 --> 00:08:10.767
So anyway, Patrick, if he's listening to this, that's my brother Anyway.

00:08:10.848 --> 00:08:12.858
so I I got that I, I was nice.

00:08:12.858 --> 00:08:15.708
I gave him the cards because he obviously wanted the cards and we watched the movie together.

00:08:15.708 --> 00:08:16.548
Movie's very, very good.

00:08:16.548 --> 00:08:16.817
By the way.

00:08:16.817 --> 00:08:18.108
Probably like one of my favorite Pokemon movies.

00:08:18.497 --> 00:08:23.958
Other than that, I mainly grew up with the anime when I was a kid and I really, really was super into the show.

00:08:23.958 --> 00:08:28.478
As for the video games, I didn't really get into the video games till I was like, almost like, nine or or 10.

00:08:28.487 --> 00:08:30.108
almost into my teens and stuff like that.

00:08:30.108 --> 00:08:32.998
So like, I wasn't really too exposed to the video games as a kid.

00:08:33.207 --> 00:08:40.048
The only Pokemon game that I was really kinda exposed to was like the original Pokemon Stadium two and the N 64 and then Pokemon Revolution on the we.

00:08:40.197 --> 00:08:43.677
And of course, obviously Smash Brothers with all the Pokemon characters and all the trophies you can collect on that.

00:08:43.677 --> 00:08:44.162
Obviously I was.

00:08:44.162 --> 00:08:44.844
Way into that.

00:08:45.163 --> 00:08:52.094
And as for Pokemon, for Pokemon Go, obviously I have a channel I run, I've run channel for Pokemon Go, and I do mainly Pokemon Go content.

00:08:52.094 --> 00:08:55.453
I used to do specifically the shiny hunting and a bunch of other play throughs and game plays.

00:08:55.903 --> 00:08:59.803
I mainly move the Pokemon Go because I was always super in the Pokemon Go, especially after the pandemic.

00:08:59.803 --> 00:09:07.764
After the pandemic, I really got back into the game and thanks to my fiance actually, she really kind of like, she actually decided to download the game on a whim, at a just pure boredom.

00:09:07.764 --> 00:09:09.293
And then I told her I used to play that.

00:09:09.293 --> 00:09:10.464
So yeah, we'll play it together.

00:09:10.884 --> 00:09:20.423
And I feel like a lot of people can kind of relate to this once you actually have somebody to play with or like to kind of like, you know, share that joy, joy of something with it makes it a whole lot better,

00:09:20.711 --> 00:09:22.061
I wanted to touch on something real quick.

00:09:22.061 --> 00:09:26.860
So, you know, you said, you know, your fiance got back into Pokemon Go and that's what led you to get into it.

00:09:27.191 --> 00:09:32.650
So was it just the fact that you would follow her and she would be playing, like, how did that dynamic work at the time?

00:09:32.995 --> 00:09:33.985
Man, it's so weird.

00:09:34.086 --> 00:09:34.306
so,

00:09:34.765 --> 00:09:37.285
sh I just want to clarify right now, rose, that's her name.

00:09:37.346 --> 00:09:39.926
She's not really like the biggest gamer there is.

00:09:40.255 --> 00:09:45.832
So, like when she moved into my house when we first started dating, you know, we were just sitting, we were sitting down together.

00:09:45.832 --> 00:09:49.373
I think I was playing over watching and we're watching iCarly on, on my, on my other TV

00:09:49.717 --> 00:09:49.957
yeah.

00:09:50.018 --> 00:09:50.707
Hey, that's a good show though.

00:09:50.707 --> 00:09:50.827
Yeah.

00:09:50.827 --> 00:09:51.427
That's a good show though.

00:09:51.427 --> 00:09:51.788
Yeah,

00:09:52.113 --> 00:09:52.952
what, what a good date night.

00:09:53.013 --> 00:09:53.222
But,

00:09:53.357 --> 00:09:53.748
right.

00:09:53.913 --> 00:09:55.602
so, we were, she just got bored.

00:09:55.602 --> 00:09:57.582
She just got bored and she downloaded Pokemon Go just on a whim.

00:09:57.582 --> 00:10:03.692
'cause you know, she used to play Pokemon, you know, when she was like a teenager on a three Ds and she wanted to get, you know, see what Pokemon Go was all about because she, she had never played it.

00:10:04.113 --> 00:10:06.302
And I told her all the stories back in 2016.

00:10:06.302 --> 00:10:13.293
I, like me and a couple group of friends used to like run across town for a dragonite run across town for a snx and stuff like that.

00:10:13.293 --> 00:10:20.462
Like how 2016 Pokemon Go is 110% to this day, super unmatched in levels of experience like.

00:10:20.793 --> 00:10:31.743
I love hearing people's stories of when they're telling me that like, oh, dude, we would run, literally run all the way, like across Dallas Houston, because we heard rumors of like, oh, that's a hotspot for like snl ES and Dragonite, stuff like that.

00:10:31.927 --> 00:10:33.602
It like, you don't get that nowadays, you know?

00:10:33.602 --> 00:10:37.592
'cause almost everything's kind of like, not really spoonfed to you, but like every, it is a lot more contrived.

00:10:37.623 --> 00:10:37.893
You know what I

00:10:38.067 --> 00:10:38.289
Mm-hmm.

00:10:38.289 --> 00:10:41.919
I was gonna say,'cause for those who don't know during 2016, like, you know, it's a cliche.

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.600
People say like, oh, it's like world peace, right?

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:49.269
It's the first time the world really felt like world peace, but it was the first time I think we've ever got to experience.

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:53.590
The unknown of a video game because nowadays we're spoiled by leaks.

00:10:53.590 --> 00:10:57.730
We're spoiled by, data mines we're spoiled by already knowing it before it comes.

00:10:58.029 --> 00:11:00.759
But Pokemon Go, we had no idea.

00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.169
It was all a mystery.

00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:17.629
I think as a society or a group of people, we really welcome the idea of for once not knowing what was gonna happen with the franchise we had grown accustomed to, and that traversed both the hardcore fans as well as those who probably came back to the game, to the franchise.

00:11:17.950 --> 00:11:18.490
Absolutely.

00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:19.179
Oh, 100%.

00:11:19.210 --> 00:11:27.970
I mean, like even like older couples that I talked to, It's amazing that Pokemon Go or just the Pokemon IP has such the power to bring so many diverse people together.

00:11:27.970 --> 00:11:33.429
I'm like wide age groups and stuff like that, that just love the collection aspect of the game.

00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:37.659
And they have so much good, I, I love hearing like why people like also play the game.

00:11:37.990 --> 00:11:42.250
Some people are just in it for the PVP, some people are just in it for the collection aspect, shiny, you know, all that good stuff.

00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:46.929
And the couple that I hang out with, Wesley and Shelly, they, they're an older couple, but like, man, they are so wholesome.

00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:52.450
Like, they remind me of like if I was, if me and me and Rose are gonna grow older, we'll probably be, we'll probably be like them.

00:11:52.450 --> 00:11:53.080
I'm not gonna lie to you

00:11:53.850 --> 00:11:55.585
They're, they're your aspiration for sure.

00:11:56.034 --> 00:12:00.924
They, they go out every single weekend just by themselves, just to go grind, do raids and stuff like that.

00:12:00.924 --> 00:12:04.105
And I think I, by the way, I just think that's the, like, the most adorable thing ever I really do.

00:12:04.644 --> 00:12:05.095
Mm-hmm.

00:12:05.845 --> 00:12:13.644
you know, just seeing people like that, like I said, wide age groups and stuff like that, enjoying a game that we can all, you know, or relate to, put a differences aside.

00:12:13.674 --> 00:12:14.245
It's amazing man.

00:12:14.455 --> 00:12:17.034
Like Pokemon, Pokemon Go has that power to do that.

00:12:17.034 --> 00:12:25.032
And I feel like the Pokemon IP as a whole is one of the, truthfully, like one of the more special games out there that really kind of allow people to actually have like those similar experiences, you know?

00:12:25.288 --> 00:12:28.851
Now, you said you started initially in 2016, so you were part of that mania.

00:12:29.091 --> 00:12:34.042
Can you give insight to like what it was like, what did you do and where did you go to kind of play Pokemon Go?

00:12:34.042 --> 00:12:34.371
Do you remember?

00:12:34.371 --> 00:12:35.572
What do you remember from those days?

00:12:35.917 --> 00:12:37.057
As you said, world peace.

00:12:37.746 --> 00:12:42.476
But, so my biggest memory really, I used to just play for my house in my neighborhood.

00:12:42.476 --> 00:12:52.047
And I know that sounds kinda lame in hindsight, but like, y'all also gotta understand when these things are spawning in every single corner of the map and you have no No idea where, spa.

00:12:52.226 --> 00:13:10.527
When when I first a Bulba store, I was was, I don't I dunno why the be, it was like finding the golden ticket or when I found a venom off, literally just like a, you know the other side side, I don't even like venom off, but when but when I saw the phone I was I was like, I don't I don't, has this, this would be such a cool flex.

00:13:10.706 --> 00:13:14.006
So, you know, I, I went out there just like randomly.

00:13:14.006 --> 00:13:14.907
It was so addicting.

00:13:14.937 --> 00:13:21.447
It would, like, the collection aspect of it was just so addicting and it was so like, brand new at the time though, like, it was so much fun.

00:13:21.447 --> 00:13:26.037
Like, I would go out in these weird places that I never thought I'd, you know, I'd ever go to.

00:13:26.037 --> 00:13:27.177
And I'll, I'll be real with you.

00:13:27.517 --> 00:13:31.147
maybe a couple of places I probably shouldn't be at, you know, construction sites wise.

00:13:31.326 --> 00:13:34.167
But, man, like, it was a whole new world.

00:13:34.167 --> 00:13:35.427
It's not what it was now.

00:13:35.456 --> 00:13:37.557
Now it's definitely, it knows what it wants to be.

00:13:37.851 --> 00:13:38.142
yeah.

00:13:38.336 --> 00:13:40.256
it was like, you know, thrown to people.

00:13:40.317 --> 00:13:41.366
People could figure it out.

00:13:41.366 --> 00:13:42.297
But that's what made it fun.

00:13:42.386 --> 00:13:44.397
The fact that we didn't know more about it.

00:13:44.397 --> 00:13:44.966
We didn't know.

00:13:45.341 --> 00:13:47.562
Really what could spawn, I mean, you heard the rumors there.

00:13:47.562 --> 00:13:52.091
Rumors, oh, hey, there might be rumors that there's mu, you know, lingering in the wild, nobody's found it yet.

00:13:52.091 --> 00:13:56.621
Or, Hey, somebody found a wild mu two under their, you know, near their barn or something like that.

00:13:56.621 --> 00:13:57.312
Hey, come over here.

00:13:57.312 --> 00:13:57.822
Let's go get it.

00:13:57.942 --> 00:13:59.951
Obviously it wasn't true, by the way, but you know, don't fall for that.

00:14:00.072 --> 00:14:00.626
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:01.152 --> 00:14:02.621
my God, dude, it's like, what a different world.

00:14:02.621 --> 00:14:03.672
It was like, seriously.

00:14:03.986 --> 00:14:10.527
So for April Fools, I actually did an article about the top 10 myths of US Pokemon fans have believed in our history.

00:14:10.886 --> 00:14:14.996
One of the ones that I touched on was at the time we didn't know where Dito was.

00:14:15.116 --> 00:14:21.626
Ditto was one of the empty polka dick slots for Pokemon Go and still is for some people.

00:14:21.626 --> 00:14:22.346
Let's just be honest.

00:14:22.437 --> 00:14:24.326
But we had no idea.

00:14:24.476 --> 00:14:32.667
But one of the rumors that were going around of how to unlock ditto, and it was such a crazy reach in hindsight, but this is just the mindset of what it was back in those days.

00:14:33.206 --> 00:14:36.267
They literally thought, or we thought, some people thought.

00:14:36.552 --> 00:14:47.761
That if you did some kind of, pattern on the main menu at that time because of the same colors that are on the pester ball from Pokemon Snap, that that was the secret to unlocking ditto.

00:14:47.897 --> 00:14:48.317
Really?

00:14:48.511 --> 00:14:57.572
obviously wasn't true, completely false, but that was the mindset of being in playing In those years, we had no idea of how legend days were gonna work.

00:14:57.841 --> 00:15:00.152
We didn't know if, like they were just super rare.

00:15:00.211 --> 00:15:01.861
We didn't know how Ditto came out.

00:15:02.131 --> 00:15:12.481
We just had a lot of unknown possibilities and it was that unknown possibilities that made Pokemon Go as engaging as it was back in those days.

00:15:12.731 --> 00:15:13.152
Mm-hmm.

00:15:14.062 --> 00:15:14.567
hundred percent.

00:15:14.812 --> 00:15:27.721
like, like you said with the whole like rumor thing and stuff like that, we all believed it, but it also kind of like brought us back to like the, back in the day, like the whole playground rumors were like, oh, hey, if you, if you bring a, a mu two called mu three inside Saru Cave and find, you'll find a PIKA blue, which is really just a mar.

00:15:27.721 --> 00:15:31.381
But obviously it was the most famous part of like the most famous playground rumor back in the day.

00:15:31.381 --> 00:15:32.581
It was the whole peak blue thing.

00:15:33.001 --> 00:15:34.101
But, yeah, no, you're right man.

00:15:34.101 --> 00:15:36.081
Honestly, it is just like, like I said, different world.

00:15:36.292 --> 00:15:38.902
The rumors made it also more interesting.

00:15:38.902 --> 00:15:42.111
I mean, to be fair, I did quit the game like a couple months afterwards.

00:15:42.111 --> 00:15:43.822
'cause like content-wise it was pretty stale.

00:15:44.091 --> 00:15:44.361
Sure.

00:15:44.361 --> 00:15:44.451
But,

00:15:44.871 --> 00:15:45.937
I'll I'll never forget.

00:15:46.131 --> 00:15:48.741
those four months I'll never, ever like let down.

00:15:49.087 --> 00:15:52.538
And then the rumors still kept going, especially when you considered the legendary raid.

00:15:52.538 --> 00:15:53.077
When they debuted.

00:15:53.077 --> 00:15:55.717
I don't know if you had a chance to play the during that time, or were you still out of it?

00:15:56.033 --> 00:15:57.712
I was still out of it, but I was watching videos.

00:15:57.743 --> 00:16:00.982
actually, unfortunately, I watched the video of the first ever Go Fest, you know, the one that was like a

00:16:00.998 --> 00:16:01.538
Oh yeah,

00:16:02.062 --> 00:16:02.423
So,

00:16:02.857 --> 00:16:03.368
I was there.

00:16:03.413 --> 00:16:11.962
if I'm being honest with you, I was actually co I was actually, I was actually considering downloading the game'cause I heard about Go Fest and then I watched all the videos of Go Fest being a complete disaster.

00:16:11.962 --> 00:16:13.432
Then I was like, wow, okay,

00:16:13.462 --> 00:16:15.998
Okay, well, so here's the thing though.

00:16:15.998 --> 00:16:21.158
So despite how the negative press it was because I, you know, like I said, I was in Chicago 2017.

00:16:21.413 --> 00:16:21.952
Oh, you were there.

00:16:22.298 --> 00:16:24.038
I was there, I was literally, at ground zero.

00:16:24.067 --> 00:16:25.118
I was there at the first raid.

00:16:25.118 --> 00:16:26.467
You know, I was there when this six seven was, right?

00:16:26.467 --> 00:16:26.888
Yeah.

00:16:27.398 --> 00:16:30.518
I don't regret it, as crazy as that sounds.

00:16:30.523 --> 00:16:32.048
Like I said, the game didn't work for shit.

00:16:32.378 --> 00:16:35.857
The, I was sweaty, I didn't, hadn't eaten an entire day.

00:16:35.857 --> 00:16:36.638
I was dehydrated.

00:16:36.638 --> 00:16:37.118
Probably.

00:16:37.477 --> 00:16:45.812
I don't regret it because I guess in that pain I, I got to experience something that very few people got to, I guess know about.

00:16:45.871 --> 00:16:48.272
And you know, of course Pokemon goes come a long way to live events.

00:16:48.711 --> 00:16:59.662
I still remember fondly of trying to, seeing the first ever raid, seeing the egg pop up and we're wondering, and you got like hundreds of people literally crossing six lanes of traffic.

00:16:59.662 --> 00:17:02.001
As for cars, this is moving traffic.

00:17:02.317 --> 00:17:03.427
There's not a light.

00:17:03.427 --> 00:17:10.386
People just slammed on the brakes when they see hundreds of people crossing because we're seeing the first ever legendary raid.

00:17:10.797 --> 00:17:11.017
Wow.

00:17:11.826 --> 00:17:14.946
So do I, you know, do I wish I could have played the game?

00:17:15.007 --> 00:17:15.876
Absolutely.

00:17:16.027 --> 00:17:17.196
Do I ever regret it?

00:17:17.406 --> 00:17:18.126
I can't say I do.

00:17:18.957 --> 00:17:21.412
I say the experience definitely like, you know, helps it too.

00:17:21.652 --> 00:17:28.102
The experience of being there at a live event definitely is like, in my opinion, probably like of the things you remember the most besides the event itself.

00:17:28.102 --> 00:17:28.402
Right.

00:17:28.807 --> 00:17:29.646
Yeah, it is.

00:17:29.646 --> 00:17:37.086
And then I still have the Lugia they gave up and it's the rarest lugia because for those who don't know, it's actually one of the only ones that pops up with the costume.

00:17:37.957 --> 00:17:40.086
And I've always wondered like, what do I do with that?

00:17:40.747 --> 00:17:41.106
I don't know.

00:17:41.106 --> 00:17:48.292
Like I've always take, I've always wondered if I should trade it to people who want, want it, but then I'm like, I still think about it to this day, like I don't know what to do with it.

00:17:48.292 --> 00:17:48.893
I still look at it.

00:17:49.103 --> 00:17:54.143
It's a titled Go Fest because I mean obviously I got it from Go Fest, but I still think about like, what do I really want?

00:17:54.202 --> 00:17:56.843
I want to, I don't like to Who things you know

00:17:57.143 --> 00:17:57.472
Yeah.

00:17:57.532 --> 00:17:59.452
that Lucia is there as a memory.

00:17:59.482 --> 00:18:00.772
I always have the memories in my head.

00:18:01.268 --> 00:18:06.698
So if I can give to somebody who would appreciate it, I would love to, but I haven't really found that moment or Right.

00:18:06.698 --> 00:18:09.667
That person at the, at the, I haven't found the right time to give out.

00:18:09.817 --> 00:18:11.317
And someday I will.

00:18:11.557 --> 00:18:12.728
I just don't know where or how.

00:18:13.853 --> 00:18:23.692
Honestly, man, like for me, if I was, if I held that thing,'cause here's the thing, like now looking back, all the stuff that I missed, I would possibly like, you know, keep it for the collection and stuff like that.

00:18:23.692 --> 00:18:24.623
But for me, I'm a collector.

00:18:24.623 --> 00:18:26.272
I love holding things, stuff like that.

00:18:26.272 --> 00:18:27.413
Especially when they're like sentimental.

00:18:27.413 --> 00:18:32.692
But also also the experience of like, hey, this is special for this specific mo moment.

00:18:32.903 --> 00:18:35.962
Even though, yeah, the event was, you know, riddled with flaws and stuff like that.

00:18:36.337 --> 00:18:44.238
The experience and the memory of this specific item that you have or Pokemon in your, in your case, really kind of is kind of special in its own right.

00:18:44.238 --> 00:18:45.048
I'd say just keep it, man.

00:18:45.048 --> 00:18:45.347
Seriously.

00:18:45.347 --> 00:18:45.857
That's awesome.

00:18:46.397 --> 00:18:48.498
Well, not the decision that future David's gonna have to worry about.

00:18:48.498 --> 00:18:51.228
I just keep pushing it off like, uh, everything else he does.

00:18:51.468 --> 00:18:51.948
I'll remind him.

00:18:51.948 --> 00:18:52.248
Don't worry.

00:18:54.377 --> 00:18:58.132
I wanted to touch base back on, your experience, initial experience with Pokemon.

00:18:58.162 --> 00:19:06.974
You talked about how you were growing up watching the anime, what arc was ash in when you first started watching anime, and what do you remember about those episodes you watched?

00:19:06.974 --> 00:19:07.005
I,

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.535
it was from the very beginning actually.

00:19:08.535 --> 00:19:10.365
So what I choose up Pikachu, of course.

00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:13.335
When he goes into the, the second episode where he is in the hospital, Pikachu's injured,

00:19:13.605 --> 00:19:14.295
oh, okay.

00:19:14.355 --> 00:19:16.095
So it's Indigo Plateau Arc real quick.

00:19:16.184 --> 00:19:16.515
Okay.

00:19:16.664 --> 00:19:20.025
It was from the straight beginning and I watched it up until like.

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:21.779
Half of the ho in anime.

00:19:22.093 --> 00:19:22.887
So Oh, okay.

00:19:23.173 --> 00:19:29.012
what got me was, I think really it was, it was think it was like the final episodes leading up to like the movie, I guess you could say.

00:19:29.012 --> 00:19:33.242
Like, you know how like in one of the episodes they teased like me two, like, you know, shooting out of the rocket base and stuff like that.

00:19:33.242 --> 00:19:35.942
You see it's armor and like, they just tease it, but they don't really show it.

00:19:35.972 --> 00:19:36.423
You know what I mean?

00:19:36.626 --> 00:19:38.067
that one probably stuck out to me the most.

00:19:38.067 --> 00:19:39.777
'cause I was like, oh dude, what, what is that Pokemon?

00:19:39.777 --> 00:19:40.227
That's cool.

00:19:40.257 --> 00:19:40.616
You know?

00:19:40.856 --> 00:19:53.606
But also, to this day, Hoho at the end of episode one, I think that one probably still lives in my head because of how like mysterious, but also like, it's one of those things you see as a kid and you just wanna see more of, you know?

00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:59.250
It's one, like I said, it goes back to just the mystery behind Pokemon to where you wanna, you wanna have questions.

00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:04.890
Oddly enough, we wanna see it, I guess, resolved, but we also want to have questions of potentially more.

00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:09.089
'cause I think that's what makes Pokemon so addicting is that there's always potential of more coming out.

00:20:09.089 --> 00:20:13.559
There's always potential of more story, more Pokemon, more lore that's not been explored.

00:20:13.934 --> 00:20:14.325
A hundred percent.

00:20:14.325 --> 00:20:17.984
I'm a firm believer of the old saying that, you know, some of the best questions are usually the ones with no answers.

00:20:18.015 --> 00:20:18.375
You know,

00:20:18.615 --> 00:20:18.904
Yeah.

00:20:19.214 --> 00:20:20.954
like, interpretation is everything for me.

00:20:21.404 --> 00:20:21.625
Yes.

00:20:21.765 --> 00:20:29.805
the inter inter, the interpretation of seeing the hoho is basically like saying that, Hey, there's a lot more on the horizon that, that we haven't shown that that's what it really showed me.

00:20:29.954 --> 00:20:32.115
And of course, lo and behold, we got gen two, you know?

00:20:32.426 --> 00:20:34.467
Now, when it comes to Pokemon, what do you like to collect?

00:20:34.467 --> 00:20:37.017
Like what does that look like for, I guess, give us some insight into that.

00:20:37.472 --> 00:20:40.623
honestly, when it comes to physical media, obviously I collect the games.

00:20:40.742 --> 00:20:43.893
I've been trying to get a complete inbox collection of most of the games.

00:20:43.893 --> 00:20:49.323
Unfortunately, ever since these past three years, it has been very, very difficult to find most of'em for a reasonable price.

00:20:50.583 --> 00:20:52.752
I've kind of gave up on that idea, entirely.

00:20:52.843 --> 00:20:58.843
In terms of Pokemon Go and stuff like that, I've been really trying to get a bunch of costume Pokemon that I missed out on.

00:20:58.873 --> 00:21:05.923
I'd say like 2020, like past, there was actually like a costume s eye with like a lit wig hats that I didn't raid for at all.

00:21:06.313 --> 00:21:07.333
And I really, really wanted.

00:21:07.333 --> 00:21:09.553
'cause I love SI say one, one of my favorite Pokemon ever.

00:21:09.792 --> 00:21:11.803
So that one I'm still trying to get.

00:21:11.863 --> 00:21:14.083
Armor Mu two was also a big thing too.

00:21:14.232 --> 00:21:19.333
And luckily my brother Patrick, actually never stopped playing Pokemon Go.

00:21:19.653 --> 00:21:20.012
Oh, really?

00:21:20.012 --> 00:21:20.883
So he played throughout.

00:21:20.942 --> 00:21:21.363
Okay.

00:21:21.407 --> 00:21:24.978
he played throughout, even throughout like what people consider to be like the most boring time, you know?

00:21:25.061 --> 00:21:28.781
him and his, him and his friend RJ and a bunch of other, other friends, dude, they did everything.

00:21:28.781 --> 00:21:30.731
They did the clone raids when those first came out.

00:21:30.731 --> 00:21:32.321
The, the, the first, here's the thing.

00:21:32.321 --> 00:21:34.481
So I remember, armor Mutual came out two different times.

00:21:34.511 --> 00:21:40.541
It came out once in 2018, then it came out again same year, but it was during like the anniversary for the first movie, whatever.

00:21:40.845 --> 00:21:44.174
So like, I think it came out twice and then they released the clone Pokemon as well.

00:21:44.204 --> 00:21:46.214
Correct me if I'm wrong about that on the conversation, I guess.

00:21:46.484 --> 00:21:53.250
But like, I I remember, like me all about this and he said we said that was like the only time they ever saw like, hoards of people hoarding.

00:21:53.250 --> 00:21:57.539
Just like one single like area in like in a raid that was, that was not in 2016.

00:21:57.990 --> 00:22:00.150
And he said that the experience alone was awesome.

00:22:00.150 --> 00:22:01.200
And he has a bunch of them.

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.529
Like I even asked him for one, luckily I got lucky, lucky with him, which is pretty,

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.559
I was gonna say if he's gonna trade you, and I was like, dang, that'd be such a teaser.

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:08.700
He's like, I gotta Pokemon.

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.755
You want, I'm just joking,

00:22:10.065 --> 00:22:13.005
I know I told him Yeah know, I told him he's a jerk'cause he has like 25 of'em.

00:22:13.005 --> 00:22:14.565
And so I was like, can I at least have one bro?

00:22:14.565 --> 00:22:16.244
Like I'll give you anything, you know, because

00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:16.625
dude.

00:22:16.744 --> 00:22:18.575
he, he loves Snx.

00:22:18.575 --> 00:22:22.451
So I act actually, funny enough, he was at a trip during the wild area tour.

00:22:22.451 --> 00:22:22.662
Right.

00:22:22.662 --> 00:22:23.892
And they had that costume snla

00:22:24.207 --> 00:22:24.686
Yes.

00:22:24.821 --> 00:22:25.211
missed out.

00:22:25.211 --> 00:22:26.082
He missed out completely.

00:22:26.082 --> 00:22:27.491
And I ended up getting four shiny.

00:22:27.491 --> 00:22:29.142
So I was like, okay, I'm put your name on one of'em.

00:22:29.142 --> 00:22:29.531
I got you.

00:22:29.531 --> 00:22:29.922
Don't worry about it.

00:22:29.922 --> 00:22:31.481
I got, so I got him one, I traded him.

00:22:31.481 --> 00:22:32.231
He gave me armor.

00:22:32.231 --> 00:22:32.561
Me too.

00:22:32.561 --> 00:22:33.102
And I'm good to go.

00:22:33.132 --> 00:22:33.402
We're good

00:22:33.567 --> 00:22:33.987
Oh my God.

00:22:34.527 --> 00:22:36.086
So you said you collect the costume Pokemon.

00:22:36.086 --> 00:22:39.122
What is it about that gets the costume Pokemon that appealed to you that you want to collect?

00:22:39.686 --> 00:22:41.096
Honestly, uniqueness.

00:22:41.307 --> 00:22:47.787
It's the uniqueness, but also it's an added flare to an already existing Pokemon that I might like or I just honestly do enjoy.

00:22:48.146 --> 00:22:50.817
I think for me a lot, I know a lot of people don't like the constant Pikachu.

00:22:50.906 --> 00:22:51.356
I disagree.

00:22:51.356 --> 00:22:52.916
I think the constant Pikachu are very, very festive.

00:22:52.916 --> 00:22:55.317
I mean, Pikachu is the mask offer, you know, obviously.

00:22:55.422 --> 00:22:55.711
Sure.

00:22:55.826 --> 00:23:00.507
But like, I think the constant Pokemon for any, like the starters too, I'm still waiting Niantic for a costume mud kit.

00:23:00.567 --> 00:23:05.997
If it's gonna happen, I hope, you know, I'll be the first one to wake up at 10:00 AM I'll be waiting all day for it, hunting all day for it.

00:23:05.997 --> 00:23:06.807
That'll be me, literally.

00:23:06.807 --> 00:23:07.737
I'll make a whole video on it.

00:23:08.037 --> 00:23:12.297
Other, other than that, I think the costume Pokemon also have so much personality.

00:23:12.297 --> 00:23:12.926
I don't know why.

00:23:12.926 --> 00:23:19.863
Something about adding a certain different little, like gimmick to a Pokemon that's already, in my opinion, pretty cool, I mean, who wouldn't want it?

00:23:19.893 --> 00:23:27.303
It's almost, well, like it did with a freaking, oh my God, the Roy and the roulette like those are already cool Pokemon, but the fact that they gave'em little costumes just made it even better, you know?

00:23:27.722 --> 00:23:29.587
Now you said you want a Mud Kip costume.

00:23:29.678 --> 00:23:34.988
Do you have an idea of what kind of costume you would like to see Pokemon Go do with Mud Kip.

00:23:35.228 --> 00:23:36.218
Yes, I will tell you.

00:23:36.218 --> 00:23:38.827
So I'm gonna tell you the fantasy and then I'm gonna tell you what the probably are gonna do.

00:23:39.067 --> 00:23:39.488
Let's do it.

00:23:39.758 --> 00:23:44.768
I think the fantasy would be this, it would have my little green pixel glasses that my little avatar has.

00:23:46.028 --> 00:23:47.107
So, sunglasses, mud, ki.

00:23:47.137 --> 00:23:47.498
Okay.

00:23:47.587 --> 00:23:54.788
yeah, sunglasses, mud ki or you know what, they could do this, and I think it'd be very, very cute if they do like a May or Brendan hat mud kit, like for Hoen.

00:23:54.847 --> 00:23:58.478
And so like they have the protagonist from Hoen, if they do that, I wouldn't be mad about that either.

00:23:58.882 --> 00:23:59.721
Why don't they do that?

00:23:59.721 --> 00:24:00.862
Actually, they did that for cno.

00:24:00.862 --> 00:24:02.061
Why didn't they do that for Owen?

00:24:02.241 --> 00:24:06.207
saved it for the Pikachus and, and then they didn't do the costume versions of the, you know, the, the Hoen starters.

00:24:06.207 --> 00:24:06.567
I don't know.

00:24:06.596 --> 00:24:10.906
I don't know why, because we all, we also have costume versions of like, you know, the, the cancel stars and stuff like that.

00:24:11.146 --> 00:24:13.336
So I'm like, you know, just bite the bully.

00:24:13.336 --> 00:24:17.207
Give us, obviously, obviously give us gen two, but give us Gen three, two, you know what I mean?

00:24:17.650 --> 00:24:25.150
earlier you alluded to how there's some costume that, or just inaccessible at this moment, you know, specifically the most famous one is the costume U2.

00:24:25.329 --> 00:24:28.000
And for you as a collector, you know, you want the costume Pokemon.

00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:32.230
How does it feel, I guess, to not be able to access some of the earlier costume Pokemon?

00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:35.200
And I mean, is that, that's gotta be kind of frustrating, right?

00:24:35.484 --> 00:24:39.204
It is frustrating, especially as, like I said, I'm a collector.

00:24:39.204 --> 00:24:45.875
It's frustrating because I don't know why they haven't re-released them because they all, they always still exist in the code.

00:24:46.174 --> 00:24:47.105
They're still there.

00:24:47.434 --> 00:24:48.694
They existed at one point.

00:24:49.144 --> 00:24:55.234
If they were exclusive, I'm pretty sure Niantic would be like, Hey, one time only, one weekend only.

00:24:55.355 --> 00:24:55.924
This is it.

00:24:55.984 --> 00:24:57.005
You're never gonna get it back.

00:24:57.365 --> 00:24:57.875
They never did.

00:24:58.684 --> 00:25:08.127
So it's frustrating, especially for a lot of like, you know, players that got back into it, like post covid and stuff like that, that we can't really access that unless we know somebody, dear, dear to us, who are willing to give us that.

00:25:08.127 --> 00:25:08.577
You know what I mean?

00:25:08.897 --> 00:25:15.892
I think the most frustrating thing really is the fact that like, but at the same time, I do love exclusivity and rarity, but.

00:25:15.892 --> 00:25:19.192
Pokemon Go has definitely proven that nothing stays, nothing stays rare forever.

00:25:19.521 --> 00:25:22.842
case in point, most of the, the pseudo legendaries, every single suit of legendary comes out.

00:25:22.842 --> 00:25:23.622
Every single go fest.

00:25:23.652 --> 00:25:26.291
Everyone thinks it's rare when it comes out'cause they have the raining for the Shinies.

00:25:26.561 --> 00:25:29.201
And then lo and behold, next year as a community, you know?

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:32.660
you alluded to that you're also community ambassador.

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.299
What made you kind of wanna become a community ambassador?

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:36.666
Like talk about your community a little bit?

00:25:36.981 --> 00:25:37.686
Yes, actually.

00:25:37.787 --> 00:25:43.307
so for those of you who, who are tuning in, this is actually the first time I've ever been public of me announcing that I'm an ambassador.

00:25:44.071 --> 00:25:48.961
So I've been keeping this under wraps because like, I've been, you know, I've just been waiting for the right time.

00:25:48.961 --> 00:25:52.892
But honestly, what a perfect time to be and be on as Pokemon terms of David here.

00:25:53.201 --> 00:25:53.862
so yay.

00:25:53.892 --> 00:25:54.942
For, for, for, yeah.

00:25:54.942 --> 00:25:55.842
You got the first scoop, David.

00:25:55.842 --> 00:25:56.201
Let's go.

00:25:56.311 --> 00:25:56.801
Alright,

00:25:57.372 --> 00:26:02.182
So, what really, really made me wanna be an ambassador is the fact that I feel like I'm a natural leader.

00:26:02.332 --> 00:26:05.902
And my mom, I, I love her to deaf and I still do.

00:26:06.455 --> 00:26:12.155
so she used to tell, she used to tell me all the time, never be a follower, always strive to be a leader.

00:26:12.566 --> 00:26:14.381
And, You know?

00:26:14.395 --> 00:26:16.945
it always meant a lot to me because, you You know, I.

00:26:17.336 --> 00:26:20.093
Saying no is such a hard thing for some people to do.

00:26:20.093 --> 00:26:22.282
Also saying yes is very easy to do, you know what I mean?

00:26:22.567 --> 00:26:24.673
and like, I would I would say say no.

00:26:24.698 --> 00:26:30.337
it came to like, you know, being asked to go to parties in high school, you know, doing this and that, you know, obviously you probably get the whole picture what I'm trying to say here.

00:26:30.577 --> 00:26:38.857
But like, for me, and when it came to my community, just feel like the leadership really wasn't, it was there, but it wasn't fully there, you know what I mean?

00:26:39.307 --> 00:26:42.728
during events, I get people just like to look at their phones, not really interact.

00:26:42.728 --> 00:26:47.259
I get that, you know, everyone's entitled to that, obviously, you know, I'm not gonna force anybody to talk to me.

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:50.890
If they don't wanna talk to me, that's completely fine, but I'm also not gonna shy anybody away.

00:26:50.890 --> 00:26:55.960
If they wanna ask me a question, I'll definitely, you know, give you 120, 100 20% of my, my, my attention.

00:26:56.416 --> 00:26:59.686
it was literally during this one time, it was during one of the gmax raids.

00:26:59.728 --> 00:27:02.337
where nobody was communicating in our group.

00:27:02.518 --> 00:27:03.327
Like nobody at all.

00:27:03.762 --> 00:27:06.373
And me and my girlfriend were looking at each other like, are you serious?

00:27:06.373 --> 00:27:06.853
Come on, people.

00:27:06.853 --> 00:27:08.623
Like, we gotta come, we gotta communicate more here.

00:27:08.623 --> 00:27:11.952
You know, we're, we can potentially all lose these, lose these raids, you

00:27:12.077 --> 00:27:13.133
You know, so

00:27:13.198 --> 00:27:16.768
kind of kind of just yelled out who's who's in group three, you know, like saying.

00:27:16.827 --> 00:27:18.688
everyone kept saying, Hey, who's in group five?

00:27:18.748 --> 00:27:19.498
who's in group one?

00:27:19.498 --> 00:27:20.847
I was like, who's in group three?

00:27:20.847 --> 00:27:24.867
You know, here I am yelling, you know, I'm like, everyone caught onto it.

00:27:24.867 --> 00:27:28.653
Even the community ambassador, uh, he saw, he was like, oh, damn, okay, well, oh, there we go.

00:27:28.873 --> 00:27:31.823
get, get people's attention that way anyway, throughout the entire day.

00:27:31.853 --> 00:27:37.460
'cause like, man, like, it's also the fact that I just, absolutely hate the dynamax, the Gigax, feature.

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:42.440
I think it's possibly the most flawed feature in Pokemon Go right now, but we probably get to that later.

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:47.460
but I really, really want people to get their money's worth because a lot of people are spending money on particles which are not cheap.

00:27:47.849 --> 00:27:50.579
And also these raids are also not a guaranteed victory.

00:27:50.789 --> 00:27:51.450
They're really not.

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.750
And a lot of people just need to realize that when they're going, when they're going into these raids.

00:27:55.140 --> 00:28:03.887
So I was directing people, I was telling people, Hey, make, make sure you do at least level this guy up, this guy up over here if maybe full attack, if you're gonna tank, I can tank for you.

00:28:04.097 --> 00:28:09.498
I explained to them the whole mechanics of how, how healing works, how tanking works, you know, how attacking works the whole nine yards.

00:28:09.844 --> 00:28:13.473
this actually kind of like goes back to my old gaming days where I used to do Rays in destiny.

00:28:13.834 --> 00:28:17.104
So I used to like lead, I used to lead ray groups in destiny all the time.

00:28:17.104 --> 00:28:17.314
So you

00:28:17.388 --> 00:28:18.378
So you have a history in it?

00:28:18.378 --> 00:28:18.949
Yeah.

00:28:18.993 --> 00:28:19.443
hundred percent.

00:28:19.474 --> 00:28:24.275
so I used to do that all the time and during this specific day I did that the entire day.

00:28:24.275 --> 00:28:29.258
And one of the biggest highlights, and I really wish I got this on camera, we had a group of, 35 people.

00:28:29.561 --> 00:28:31.097
Everybody else died.

00:28:31.097 --> 00:28:36.948
Except for me and one lady, we were the last two left on a sliver of health, both of us.

00:28:37.127 --> 00:28:39.708
And we were just telling each other, dude, we gotta communicate.

00:28:39.768 --> 00:28:41.417
If not, this is all for nothing.

00:28:41.688 --> 00:28:47.327
So me and her next to each other, sitting down, tapping our phones, I told her, okay, let me dynamax.

00:28:47.627 --> 00:28:48.288
I can tank.

00:28:48.288 --> 00:28:49.367
I'll take the last hit.

00:28:49.788 --> 00:28:51.738
If I go down, you can take it down.

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:53.720
And lo and behold, it all worked out.

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:59.960
We did it, we clustered it up literally on a sliver of health, two Pokemon left, possibly like one of the greatest moments.

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:01.759
And I really, really wish I got that on camera, honestly.

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:10.079
But, after that whole like taking charge and leader thing, I actually got messaged later on, on a campfire asking me like, Hey, have I ever thought about, you know, helping out the group in certain ways and stuff like that.

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.670
Maybe like hosting events in here and there.

00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:13.500
And I told him that I've always been interested in it.

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:16.589
'cause I've even told like, you know, my, my fiance rose about this and like.

00:29:17.295 --> 00:29:23.865
been really interested about it because only the fact that like, well, for one, I'm making concert for Pokemon Go, and I'm always, I'm always playing Pokemon Go.

00:29:24.224 --> 00:29:27.734
So there's one, there's one reason two, I love community interaction.

00:29:27.734 --> 00:29:31.634
I love like telling people like, you know, I can help you with this raid.

00:29:31.634 --> 00:29:32.775
I don't mind helping you with the raid at all.

00:29:32.775 --> 00:29:33.555
Let's go ahead and do it.

00:29:33.555 --> 00:29:37.005
I, I love community, like, you know, stuff like, you know, community, like, like work in this community.

00:29:37.005 --> 00:29:38.775
They work towards one certain goal.

00:29:39.464 --> 00:29:39.825
love that.

00:29:39.825 --> 00:29:40.394
I don't know why.

00:29:40.484 --> 00:29:41.565
It's just, it makes me happy.

00:29:42.015 --> 00:29:44.164
And, you know, push, you know, one thing led to another.

00:29:44.164 --> 00:29:45.605
We talked about it and stuff like that.

00:29:45.605 --> 00:29:50.288
And then, he basically offered me the opportunity and made me moderator by the way, Chas, everybody there, I love you guys.

00:29:50.288 --> 00:29:51.067
Hope you guys are watching this.

00:29:52.218 --> 00:29:57.785
but ever since then I have been trying to, basically I love the whole saying that like, you know.

00:29:57.785 --> 00:29:59.015
actions be louder than the words.

00:29:59.015 --> 00:30:03.244
So I like to basically like, you know, show people that I like the hostess groups.

00:30:03.275 --> 00:30:05.464
I don't want to like, you know, have any negativity here.

00:30:05.704 --> 00:30:08.075
If there's any new players, I don't mind giving you any tips.

00:30:08.075 --> 00:30:08.884
You know, stuff like that.

00:30:08.884 --> 00:30:12.365
'cause I feel like a lot of people, like they look at new players and they're like, oh dude, no, no way.

00:30:12.755 --> 00:30:16.384
But then like, not realizing that, dude, we all started like this man, we were all brand new.

00:30:16.384 --> 00:30:21.176
And there are still some people who did not know, still probably don't even know like how some mechanics work.

00:30:21.441 --> 00:30:25.431
there are people that have been playing the game for years that I knew had who did not know what stab means.

00:30:25.490 --> 00:30:29.480
Same type attack bonus, and some people don't even know how it rates work and stuff like that.

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:32.601
I kept telling'em, Hey man, this is, this is, this is how this works, this is how this works.

00:30:32.601 --> 00:30:40.770
And again, with Dynamax being, you know, the big hot topic right now, there was another opportunity for me to basically like, you know, share that knowledge, you know, and I really love the aspect of helping people.

00:30:41.010 --> 00:30:44.221
So that's basically like how that whole whole thing started.

00:30:44.671 --> 00:30:48.614
So you talked about how earlier, you know, you were shouting to get people organized.

00:30:48.614 --> 00:30:50.473
You didn't have like the label of being the leader.

00:30:50.473 --> 00:30:53.834
You didn't have the experience, you weren't even the one running the group.

00:30:54.193 --> 00:30:56.203
What compelled you to even want to do that?

00:30:56.203 --> 00:30:59.355
'cause it would've been easier just to let people figure it out for themselves.

00:30:59.355 --> 00:31:00.855
What made you kind of wanna step in?

00:31:02.790 --> 00:31:06.540
I don't know if this is gonna sound harsh, but it really is just the way I felt at that time.

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:06.601
I.

00:31:07.066 --> 00:31:13.201
It's just because not everybody, even to this day, is prepared for the Jmax raids.

00:31:13.247 --> 00:31:13.666
Mm-hmm.

00:31:13.922 --> 00:31:16.471
again, if it was regular raids, I probably wouldn't have done it.

00:31:16.501 --> 00:31:18.961
Everyone knows how regular raids work by this time, you know?

00:31:18.991 --> 00:31:20.521
'cause we had more than enough people to do'em.

00:31:20.882 --> 00:31:21.172
Sure.

00:31:21.241 --> 00:31:23.821
jmax rays are so unbelievably frustrating.

00:31:23.852 --> 00:31:28.652
And the fact that you can spend 800 particles, and by the way, you have a chance to beat it.

00:31:28.981 --> 00:31:31.922
But not only that, you're not even guaranteed to catch it.

00:31:32.987 --> 00:31:39.676
Such a stupid mechanic, and I just want everybody to have fun with it because Nazi did a very, very poor job of even explaining how GeneMax works.

00:31:39.676 --> 00:31:46.019
I mean, it was so poor to the point where like the first weekend that they did it, 40 plus people couldn't even beat the, the Cantos trio, you know?

00:31:46.464 --> 00:31:46.625
Right.

00:31:46.829 --> 00:31:52.259
And until they release it the second time where they absolutely giga nerfed them, then, you know, obviously they made'em a lot more easier.

00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:56.131
But at the same time, really not fun, and like, what really kind of compelled me.

00:31:56.131 --> 00:32:05.431
Like I just really wanted people to kind of get their money's worth and their enjoyment outta these raids, because unfortunately, there's one of the few things that Pokemon Go that you're not really guaranteed the win, you know?

00:32:06.181 --> 00:32:07.980
You know what's very ironic with what Jesus said?

00:32:07.996 --> 00:32:08.056
It

00:32:08.131 --> 00:32:08.490
Mm-hmm.

00:32:08.925 --> 00:32:10.846
is the same way legendary works when they debuted.

00:32:11.150 --> 00:32:11.539
Really?

00:32:11.999 --> 00:32:15.148
So back when Legendary raids debuted, we had Arto and Luga.

00:32:15.689 --> 00:32:17.519
Arto wasn't the bigger issue.

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.598
It was actually Luga.

00:32:18.689 --> 00:32:24.388
We would have people 15 to 20, which is the max fail, these Luga raid all the time.

00:32:25.169 --> 00:32:39.209
And that's when you started seeing the uprising of RAID leaders because you would have people waiting like 10, 15, 20, sometimes 30 minutes of people showing up because Luie F you know, you know Pokemon Luie is a defensive tank.

00:32:39.929 --> 00:32:45.179
And back in those days, the best things we had, or I think Jian, what else?

00:32:45.608 --> 00:32:46.479
gang guard.

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:48.913
And that was about it.

00:32:48.913 --> 00:32:50.738
We didn't have a zap toss, we didn't have Charron.

00:32:50.742 --> 00:32:59.742
We had basically what was available, the best canto and Jo to, and this is not Riku, we didn't have Riku at the time, but you had the same issue.

00:33:00.103 --> 00:33:03.042
You had players who were primarily casual at the time.

00:33:03.042 --> 00:33:03.498
They were just.

00:33:03.609 --> 00:33:08.500
Catching stuff, or maybe they were turning to the game and you had people failing.

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:10.599
Like I said, that was everywhere.

00:33:10.930 --> 00:33:14.950
But it's ironic that even here, we're talking six, seven years later.

00:33:15.369 --> 00:33:19.299
You've got the opportunity with DMAC raids, same issue.

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:20.470
I agree with you.

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:28.569
Like I said, they could have been implemented better, but it created leaders like you to step in and gave you opportunity to be able to become a union ambassador.

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:29.680
Hmm.

00:33:30.835 --> 00:33:35.005
yeah, that's basically a a like honestly that's probably like hitting the nail on the head really.

00:33:35.005 --> 00:33:36.714
I mean it was really just like that and stuff like that.

00:33:36.714 --> 00:33:40.944
But also to be fair, I mean, it's my only day off work too, so I kinda wanna make it worth it

00:33:41.509 --> 00:33:42.220
Sure, sure.

00:33:42.444 --> 00:33:43.464
time all the time.

00:33:43.464 --> 00:33:47.343
So dude, on a miraculous chance I had just that Saturday off.

00:33:47.897 --> 00:33:48.228
Right.

00:33:48.441 --> 00:33:53.270
I was really going in there wanting to make Make my my day finally got a Saturday off and off.

00:33:53.451 --> 00:33:54.441
how long's I was gonna make it.

00:33:54.441 --> 00:33:55.580
100% worth it.

00:33:56.030 --> 00:33:56.361
Yeah.

00:33:56.665 --> 00:33:59.151
And like I said, I'm not gonna excuse Niantic for what they did.

00:33:59.151 --> 00:34:00.740
Like I said, they could have done it better.

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:03.201
I think they should have started with Evie and Pikachu.

00:34:03.201 --> 00:34:04.580
Let one of us pick the starters.

00:34:04.580 --> 00:34:08.690
So give us an option where each team's different and then we would've had something to go with all the other rates.

00:34:09.110 --> 00:34:11.958
But like I said, the experience, oddly enough, is still the same.

00:34:12.168 --> 00:34:15.378
It's just that, it's just, it's, the history repeats itself.

00:34:15.378 --> 00:34:16.068
It's ironic.

00:34:16.097 --> 00:34:17.418
That's kind of what I'm pointing to.

00:34:17.597 --> 00:34:21.108
Oh, and I forgot, TA was actually the best con counter all the time.

00:34:21.347 --> 00:34:23.657
But again, not everybody had T tars

00:34:23.972 --> 00:34:26.023
Yeah, because it wasn't larva like a rare spot at the time.

00:34:26.023 --> 00:34:26.262
Right.

00:34:26.478 --> 00:34:27.047
that too.

00:34:27.047 --> 00:34:32.027
And then plus T tar wasn't raids, but if you didn't have a raid party, if you never raided with anybody, you're not gonna have them.

00:34:32.148 --> 00:34:43.217
So you had people with jolt on, you had people with electrodes, you had people with gang guards, mistri, all Pokemon, that God forbid you bring into a raid nowadays, they're gonna look at you sideways.

00:34:43.307 --> 00:34:45.617
But that's what we, that's what people had back in those days.

00:34:45.978 --> 00:34:48.557
So it's just interesting to see how history repeats itself.

00:34:48.757 --> 00:34:50.853
It, it, it's funny, honestly, now you mentioned that.

00:34:50.853 --> 00:34:51.393
Yeah, you're right.

00:34:51.393 --> 00:34:56.027
'cause like, I remember seeing a, a lone Spiro get the final hit on a guino raid one day.

00:34:56.418 --> 00:35:00.373
And I remember, that little Tim, I, I was gonna say little Timmy definitely was the proudest man.

00:35:01.244 --> 00:35:07.784
His, his little shiny like cp like 26 Spiro, know, just a clutched up this raid for us.

00:35:07.994 --> 00:35:08.744
Hey, Godspeed.

00:35:09.659 --> 00:35:10.559
Oh yeah, that's true.

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:13.349
It's a, I didn't think I'd ever see a Spiro Save array.

00:35:13.349 --> 00:35:14.039
That's interesting.

00:35:14.173 --> 00:35:14.954
That was hilarious.

00:35:14.954 --> 00:35:18.103
I'm not gonna lie you part of it's still the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life in Pokemon, honestly.

00:35:18.509 --> 00:35:19.559
Oh my gosh.

00:36:05.385 --> 00:36:07.244
I was curious, you know, we've talked a lot about Pokemon.

00:36:07.275 --> 00:36:08.175
What's your favorite Pokemon?

00:36:08.175 --> 00:36:09.344
We've never really touched on that.

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:09.900
Oh yeah.

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:16.590
So, I really, really have one specific Pokemon, but I also have kind of like two, and I'll be honest with you, if one didn't exist, the second one would be possibly my favorite.

00:36:16.590 --> 00:36:17.010
Pokemon.

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.570
Okay.

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.329
my favorite Pokemon is Mug.

00:36:18.570 --> 00:36:19.170
I love Mud Kid.

00:36:19.289 --> 00:36:20.099
It's a.

00:36:20.099 --> 00:36:20.969
My favorite starter.

00:36:21.030 --> 00:36:26.280
Not only that, I used to play through Pokemon and Sapphire all the time, just with Pacifically Mud Kip and stuff like that.

00:36:26.309 --> 00:36:41.070
I don't know why like ever since I was a kid, and by the way, this is like I said before, I, before I even played the games, I actually, as a kid, I went to Toys Russ with my brother and he used to get a bunch of Pokemon Merge, obviously, you know, a bunch of Pokemon, you know, cars, stuff like this.

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.429
right there on the shelves and I really, really wish I had a picture.

00:36:44.730 --> 00:36:45.300
I saw it.

00:36:45.690 --> 00:36:51.900
I saw the greatest thing I've ever seen that ever graced my eyes a mud ki plushy.

00:36:52.994 --> 00:36:53.284
Nice.

00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:57.690
And I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread as a kid.

00:36:58.019 --> 00:37:00.766
So I begged my mom, mom, that's what I want.

00:37:01.215 --> 00:37:02.596
And everybody looked at me like.

00:37:02.659 --> 00:37:03.380
What the heck is that?

00:37:04.135 --> 00:37:09.860
Like, and like it's a mud kid and like my brother knew what Mud Kip was, but he was like, ah, nah, it is just mud ki what's so special about it?

00:37:09.889 --> 00:37:11.150
Oh, I told him it's mud kid.

00:37:11.570 --> 00:37:11.900
Okay.

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:13.070
That's what it is, man.

00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:14.760
So, yeah, I brought it home.

00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:15.840
I took it to school with me.

00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:21.239
That mud kid plush, I took him everywhere actually for like a very, very short period of time up, I think up until I was like in second grade.

00:37:22.539 --> 00:37:24.099
to this day it has a sad story.

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:25.809
I actually don't even know where this plus she went.

00:37:25.809 --> 00:37:29.260
I think it's actually still in my grandmother's storage in, in her, in her backyard.

00:37:29.556 --> 00:37:34.235
it, you know, it's, you know what's funny, it's one of those toys that used to play a, a lot as a kid, but then it mysteriously goes away.

00:37:34.326 --> 00:37:35.166
You have no idea what happened to it.

00:37:35.416 --> 00:37:37.695
Ever since then, Maki was probably my favorite Pokemon ever.

00:37:37.746 --> 00:37:38.826
My second favorite.

00:37:38.826 --> 00:37:42.096
I know a lot of people, will know this about me, especially if you look at my profile picture on everything.

00:37:42.096 --> 00:37:43.025
It's my Luna Tone.

00:37:43.393 --> 00:37:47.023
Luna Tone sticks out to me because it's simple and design.

00:37:47.329 --> 00:37:48.860
obviously Luna means moon in Spanish.

00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:50.980
and that really kind of connects me already.

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:56.396
'cause like I, grew up, you know, with a very, very heavily Spanish speaking mother who only spoke to me in Spanish.

00:37:56.456 --> 00:37:58.045
And I guess you're curious David.

00:37:58.286 --> 00:38:01.346
So as a kid I used to just Understand.

00:38:01.405 --> 00:38:02.065
never speak it.

00:38:02.342 --> 00:38:04.112
I can, I can relate to that fully.

00:38:04.112 --> 00:38:04.711
Yes.

00:38:04.907 --> 00:38:05.266
yeah.

00:38:05.266 --> 00:38:08.206
So like now I'm fluent, but I'm not like a hundred percent.

00:38:08.206 --> 00:38:09.947
I'm saying maybe I'm like at least 70% fluent.

00:38:10.637 --> 00:38:13.297
like, as a kid, for some reason Ton always took out to me.

00:38:13.327 --> 00:38:15.726
And like even now in Pokemon Go, I even have like a hun of it.

00:38:15.967 --> 00:38:17.257
I almost have a shun of it.

00:38:17.257 --> 00:38:18.306
So hopefully one that will get a shun.

00:38:18.891 --> 00:38:20.121
That blue eyes are pretty, pretty though.

00:38:20.121 --> 00:38:23.422
I, you gotta admit though, that blue eyes on the shiny luna tones very pretty.

00:38:23.797 --> 00:38:27.186
that's what gets me and it gets me because of the old saying once in a blue moon.

00:38:27.306 --> 00:38:28.327
That's why I love it so much.

00:38:28.597 --> 00:38:29.166
It's simple.

00:38:29.811 --> 00:38:30.862
I just got that today.

00:38:31.851 --> 00:38:32.572
I didn't think about that.

00:38:32.572 --> 00:38:33.742
I never thought about that.

00:38:33.742 --> 00:38:34.282
No.

00:38:34.402 --> 00:38:39.681
You think I'm gonna sit here and think about, oh, why is Lone, lone, shiny lone represents a once in a blue moon.

00:38:39.681 --> 00:38:40.851
I don't think about it.

00:38:42.306 --> 00:38:42.666
Yeah.

00:38:42.666 --> 00:38:43.177
I don't know why.

00:38:43.177 --> 00:38:47.887
It just, it always reminded me of that old saying, so I was like, nah, this, this shiny is genius, dude.

00:38:47.887 --> 00:38:48.277
I love it.

00:38:48.277 --> 00:38:48.697
It's great.

00:38:48.697 --> 00:38:50.047
And also it's, it's body.

00:38:50.047 --> 00:38:52.806
It's a little lighter too, like, almost like it's a full moon glowing in the sky.

00:38:52.956 --> 00:38:53.827
I think it's genius, dude.

00:38:53.827 --> 00:38:54.217
Seriously.

00:38:54.306 --> 00:38:55.086
Like, yo, we

00:38:55.117 --> 00:38:56.016
And this is what I love.

00:38:56.106 --> 00:38:56.766
just on Luna Zone now.

00:38:57.217 --> 00:38:59.436
This is just, like I said, this is what I love about Pokemon.

00:38:59.556 --> 00:39:01.447
There's so much more depth.

00:39:01.507 --> 00:39:03.817
Like I said, for me, it looks like a moon for you.

00:39:03.847 --> 00:39:05.016
You get a quote out of it.

00:39:05.317 --> 00:39:06.907
Where else are you gonna get that from Anyway?

00:39:07.027 --> 00:39:08.226
That's the beauty of Pokemon.

00:39:08.347 --> 00:39:11.347
There is death that people don't realize until somebody points it out.

00:39:11.527 --> 00:39:13.987
I've never connected those dots.

00:39:13.987 --> 00:39:16.387
I kid you not, I've played Pokemon since day one.

00:39:16.536 --> 00:39:19.327
I've never connected the shiny, mute, shiny lu tones.

00:39:19.327 --> 00:39:20.706
I, it's a once in a blue moon.

00:39:20.706 --> 00:39:22.327
I've never, it's never come to mind.

00:39:24.157 --> 00:39:24.726
Wow.

00:39:24.726 --> 00:39:24.907
this.

00:39:24.907 --> 00:39:26.197
I love this franchise so much, man.

00:39:26.226 --> 00:39:27.036
I, I can, yeah.

00:39:27.036 --> 00:39:27.516
Yeah, it's great.

00:39:27.516 --> 00:39:28.717
Yeah, yeah,

00:39:28.867 --> 00:39:29.586
to lone, by the way.

00:39:29.586 --> 00:39:29.947
Let's get it.

00:39:30.277 --> 00:39:30.786
yeah.

00:39:30.996 --> 00:39:31.327
Yeah.

00:39:31.806 --> 00:39:32.166
So.

00:39:32.376 --> 00:39:33.246
Oh my God.

00:39:33.277 --> 00:39:33.947
But, nah, man.

00:39:33.947 --> 00:39:36.947
Honestly, like those two Pokemon to this, like to this day, stick out to me.

00:39:37.067 --> 00:39:38.867
yeah, I, I'd say part of that'll, I'll leave it at those two.

00:39:40.172 --> 00:39:41.822
I'm, I'm gonna make that podcast title.

00:39:41.822 --> 00:39:44.251
I'm gonna see if Pokemons used that ones in Aton.

00:39:44.251 --> 00:39:45.362
If they haven't I'm taking it.

00:39:48.481 --> 00:39:51.121
Yeah, if y'all, if y'all see the title and it's still there.

00:39:51.121 --> 00:39:51.692
That's why.

00:39:51.692 --> 00:39:51.902
So.

00:39:53.652 --> 00:39:54.467
That gets me, man.

00:39:54.467 --> 00:39:56.177
I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm kind of surprised.

00:39:56.177 --> 00:39:58.967
I'm, I'm kind, I'm kind of happy I blew your mind with that, honestly.

00:39:58.967 --> 00:40:02.476
So now hopefully you'll be a Luna tune Enjoyer like the rest of us now, and by the

00:40:02.581 --> 00:40:02.851
Yeah.

00:40:03.001 --> 00:40:05.012
I mean, I've never hated Luna Tone.

00:40:05.012 --> 00:40:10.592
Like I just never had that kind of connection with it, and that's what I love about doing this podcast.

00:40:10.592 --> 00:40:17.684
People blow my mind with some of the ways they interpret Pokemon, and I just, it doesn't, like there's 1000 of these guys.

00:40:17.684 --> 00:40:19.364
I don't think of every single one of them.

00:40:19.844 --> 00:40:22.094
So I, I get these moments all the time.

00:40:22.094 --> 00:40:24.855
And people, like I said, if you think this is made up, this is acting.

00:40:24.914 --> 00:40:26.144
I'm not that sophisticated.

00:40:26.144 --> 00:40:27.405
I don't get paid enough to act.

00:40:27.585 --> 00:40:30.135
Okay, look, I get a couple dollars on a Patreon.

00:40:30.224 --> 00:40:30.885
That's about it.

00:40:30.885 --> 00:40:32.594
This is, it ain't worth me trying to fake this.

00:40:32.594 --> 00:40:35.474
This is, like I said, this is real, this is raw.

00:40:35.474 --> 00:40:37.184
Like I've never thought of.

00:40:37.364 --> 00:40:38.835
This is, this is perfectly genuine.

00:40:38.835 --> 00:40:40.605
My mind is blown right now.

00:40:40.755 --> 00:40:42.315
I'm not editing this part by the way.

00:40:42.315 --> 00:40:44.144
This part's going in just how it is.

00:40:44.264 --> 00:40:44.534
So,

00:40:44.565 --> 00:40:45.344
be offended if you did.

00:40:45.344 --> 00:40:47.655
No, like this is great.

00:40:47.655 --> 00:40:49.005
Like a whole five minute section on

00:40:49.215 --> 00:40:49.275
oh

00:40:49.454 --> 00:40:49.905
By all means.

00:40:49.905 --> 00:40:50.804
You already made my David.

00:40:50.954 --> 00:40:51.315
yeah.

00:40:52.094 --> 00:40:52.905
Who else are you gonna hear?

00:40:52.905 --> 00:40:58.454
Have a five minute section of Lone, tell me a YouTuber, a podcaster, a alive, and I'll call you a damn liar.

00:40:58.454 --> 00:40:58.875
Okay.

00:40:59.114 --> 00:41:00.795
I'll tell you one, the Cru the cruise ship.

00:41:00.795 --> 00:41:00.885
I

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.110
You heard?

00:41:01.184 --> 00:41:01.635
heard of him.

00:41:02.099 --> 00:41:02.489
No,

00:41:02.655 --> 00:41:04.574
his fair Pokemon is Luna Tone.

00:41:04.875 --> 00:41:13.844
And I remember this'cause I remember Wesley and Shelley, the people I mentioned earlier, they told me about, oh yeah, we watched this one, one video of a weird, some weird guy.

00:41:14.054 --> 00:41:18.614
And he was asking for a luggage trade and he was giving him like a really rare, like a legendary or whatever.

00:41:18.675 --> 00:41:20.054
And all he wanted was just a lone.

00:41:20.985 --> 00:41:23.534
And then we were like, whoa, that's kind of base Whatcha talking about?

00:41:23.534 --> 00:41:24.045
How is that weird?

00:41:24.255 --> 00:41:26.445
That's based, he wants a lone like, come on now.

00:41:26.445 --> 00:41:26.655
Like,

00:41:28.769 --> 00:41:30.630
that reminds me of something I did.

00:41:30.690 --> 00:41:33.960
I think it was, I think it was probably my second or third go fest.

00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:35.250
I posted a message.

00:41:35.250 --> 00:41:39.719
I was my friend Ruby, I got him credit for this'cause he's actually the one that fit me the idea.

00:41:39.849 --> 00:41:42.900
I was going to go fest, it was one of the Chicago ones I can remember which one it was.

00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:49.320
And he said like, how cool would it be to have a shiny Pikachu that knows surf from Hawaii?

00:41:50.309 --> 00:41:53.489
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, that's a good idea.

00:41:54.179 --> 00:41:55.440
So I posted the message.

00:41:55.550 --> 00:42:07.940
A couple of the groups, especially the Chicago ones and all that, you know, the ones that are getting for Go Fest is by chance anybody from Hawaii coming to Go Fest that's gonna have a shiny surf in Pikachu.

00:42:08.869 --> 00:42:13.880
And I didn't expect to get a response'cause a Hawaii, I didn't know how people play Pokemon.

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.559
I've always heard it's been kind of a ghost town, but B, I didn't know like what's the chances, right?

00:42:19.010 --> 00:42:32.911
I get a response and this guy says, I have a shiny surfing Pikachu and I'm coming from Hawaii So we set up a trade and I meet with him and he says, I really thought that you were like a bot, or that you were a troll.

00:42:32.911 --> 00:42:35.460
Like who's gonna ask for a sure surfing peek at you?

00:42:36.601 --> 00:42:37.315
And I'm like, dude.

00:42:38.041 --> 00:42:40.440
I didn't think nobody was gonna respond.

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.431
Like I was hopeful, but it was like one of them like, ah, if it happens, it happens, great.

00:42:44.431 --> 00:42:45.331
If it doesn't, it doesn't.

00:42:45.630 --> 00:42:48.481
But I wanted it just because I thought that was such a cool idea.

00:42:48.481 --> 00:42:51.931
'cause A, I'm never gonna be in Hawaii long enough to catch a shiny peek at you.

00:42:52.201 --> 00:42:56.760
And B, it just seemed like a cool idea to have, especially during those times and even still to this day.

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:58.050
I still had to peek at you, by the way.

00:42:58.351 --> 00:43:04.291
And it's just such niche topics, stuff like that, that you don't think about.

00:43:05.460 --> 00:43:08.490
That reminds me of every single lucky trade that I do.

00:43:08.610 --> 00:43:13.800
I always ask for a shiny mud kit,'cause I'm trying to get a shunda mud kit and everybody looks at me.

00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:14.641
So funny like.

00:43:15.721 --> 00:43:17.880
like, I'm like, I want a legendary Zac Fromm.

00:43:17.911 --> 00:43:18.990
Are you just want a mud kit?

00:43:19.050 --> 00:43:20.221
Is that really all you want?

00:43:20.221 --> 00:43:21.070
And I'm like, yeah.

00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:25.931
Yeah, that's the Pokemon franchise in a nutshell.

00:43:25.931 --> 00:43:33.431
You get the most oddest things like, but that's what makes it so great is you get, you get things you don't hear before and people collect things differently.

00:43:33.431 --> 00:43:35.501
They got the numbers, they got the shinies going on.

00:43:35.907 --> 00:43:42.958
I think I love hearing people's stories of like their favorite Pokemon and why, and you would hear like, obviously like you would hear Trish or you would hear like something like vanilla light.

00:43:43.288 --> 00:43:48.807
And obviously you're scratching your head why, but once they explain it, it's actually a lot more like wholesome.

00:43:49.110 --> 00:43:51.931
I'm telling you man, like some someone's gonna say starly and I'm gonna be so mad.

00:43:51.931 --> 00:43:55.291
Like I, so I'm gonna give you like the lower the rundown why I hate Starly

00:43:55.530 --> 00:43:55.771
Yeah.

00:43:55.831 --> 00:43:58.471
Let's, I'm curious, like why'd, why do you hate Starly so much?

00:43:58.831 --> 00:43:59.130
well,

00:43:59.251 --> 00:43:59.851
has it done to you?

00:43:59.911 --> 00:44:00.090
I'm

00:44:00.255 --> 00:44:00.376
I'm

00:44:00.541 --> 00:44:00.630
you

00:44:00.701 --> 00:44:00.780
so.

00:44:00.931 --> 00:44:02.820
It has, attacked me personally and mentally.

00:44:03.510 --> 00:44:07.081
So, BDSP releases, brilliant diamond shining pearl.

00:44:07.141 --> 00:44:10.141
I'm shiny hunting the starers, I'm shining hunting, actually, church week pacifically.

00:44:10.590 --> 00:44:20.713
And I kid you not, how do I manage to get five full odds, uncatchable, Starly's, and not get the twig at all?

00:44:21.202 --> 00:44:27.262
Just like, like, like that is the most absurd thing that has ever happened to me in my shining hunting career.

00:44:27.682 --> 00:44:29.123
And by the way, I did get the church wig.

00:44:29.123 --> 00:44:30.413
It's like, it's a pretty funny reaction.

00:44:30.413 --> 00:44:30.773
You probably go.

00:44:30.802 --> 00:44:32.483
You should, if you watch it, by all means.

00:44:32.512 --> 00:44:33.052
I appreciate it.

00:44:33.472 --> 00:44:37.983
I dunno that, guys, just for context, I'm hunting on two different games.

00:44:38.103 --> 00:44:43.592
One game gets four starleys, the other one gets only one five in total full odds.

00:44:43.592 --> 00:44:47.938
One out Out four one out of 4,096, and I go up to to 11.

00:44:48.572 --> 00:44:50.222
encounters for the church wagon in total.

00:44:51.003 --> 00:44:51.362
Ooh.

00:44:51.813 --> 00:44:53.583
Yeah, that's, rude.

00:44:56.132 --> 00:44:56.313
Yeah.

00:44:56.313 --> 00:44:59.913
So to this day, I will I'll never, forgive Starly for putting me through that torment.

00:45:46.009 --> 00:45:48.768
you know, we talked about the Pokemon Go, but we haven't really touched on your games.

00:45:48.768 --> 00:45:50.298
'cause I know you said that came in later.

00:45:50.606 --> 00:45:54.536
did you stick with the games throughout, or did you kinda have a break and come back through Pokemon Go?

00:45:54.536 --> 00:45:54.565
I,

00:45:54.715 --> 00:45:56.498
I definitely had a break.

00:45:56.498 --> 00:45:58.204
the first one I ever picked up and played was Pokemon Gold.

00:45:58.824 --> 00:45:59.114
okay.

00:45:59.168 --> 00:46:02.528
Pokemon Gold is my first favorite Pokemon game I ever touched, ever played consistently.

00:46:02.869 --> 00:46:04.579
I even deleted my brother's, say five by accident.

00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:04.909
Didn't know it

00:46:04.938 --> 00:46:06.134
Damn, you vicious.

00:46:06.228 --> 00:46:07.668
sorry, sorry.

00:46:07.728 --> 00:46:10.248
But it, to be fair, it had been years since he played it.

00:46:10.398 --> 00:46:12.918
Luckily he still does not know up until this podcast, so we're good.

00:46:13.514 --> 00:46:14.094
Oh my God.

00:46:14.148 --> 00:46:14.599
So, yeah.

00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:14.958
Yay.

00:46:15.289 --> 00:46:16.278
Ano another revelation.

00:46:16.278 --> 00:46:16.668
Let's go.

00:46:16.789 --> 00:46:17.224
Anyway.

00:46:17.384 --> 00:46:20.414
so play Pokemon Gold, loved it.

00:46:20.414 --> 00:46:21.344
Absolutely did.

00:46:21.443 --> 00:46:26.273
and then I took a break a couple years later, and then I finally picked up, Ruby and Sapphire.

00:46:26.753 --> 00:46:28.974
the reason, it's kind of weird how I actually picked up Ruby and Sapphire.

00:46:28.974 --> 00:46:30.864
I actually saw a friend still playing his game.

00:46:30.864 --> 00:46:32.724
Boy, sp in like a, you know, in.

00:46:33.623 --> 00:46:33.983
school.

00:46:34.284 --> 00:46:35.693
And then I told him which Pokemon game is that?

00:46:35.753 --> 00:46:36.893
And he told me it was Ruby Sapphire.

00:46:36.893 --> 00:46:38.423
So he might borrow it for a bit.

00:46:38.693 --> 00:46:43.164
And this is back when like the wholesome thing of like having friends at school that will let you borrow Game Boy games.

00:46:43.313 --> 00:46:47.393
You can easily, you know, put it in your bag, you know, bring it back, bring it back the next day or the next week.

00:46:47.724 --> 00:46:48.923
He lemme borrow for the weekend.

00:46:48.923 --> 00:46:53.653
And lemme tell you right now, absolutely possibly to this day is still like one of the funnest experiences I've ever had in a Pokemon game.

00:46:53.983 --> 00:46:58.063
I just think Hoen as a whole region is super vast, but also super unique.

00:46:58.063 --> 00:46:58.963
I know, I get it.

00:46:59.143 --> 00:47:00.344
IGN too much water.

00:47:00.344 --> 00:47:00.974
I hated that.

00:47:01.423 --> 00:47:03.653
But like, I still love, I still love the games.

00:47:03.653 --> 00:47:04.253
I really do.

00:47:04.253 --> 00:47:06.233
O obviously that's where I fell in love with Mud Kip too.

00:47:06.293 --> 00:47:13.233
More, besides it being just, it existing in my head, but, nah man, it's like for, I was really, really into like the old games.

00:47:13.684 --> 00:47:15.333
I didn't play CNO until much later.

00:47:15.333 --> 00:47:17.253
This is like back actually real, I'll be honest with you.

00:47:17.253 --> 00:47:20.673
I took another break and this is like up until I was like 16 or 17.

00:47:20.958 --> 00:47:21.378
Mm-hmm.

00:47:21.902 --> 00:47:23.251
picked up a cinema game and played it.

00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:28.556
I played Pokemon Platinum, and I just wanna, for the record, I didn't wanna touch a diamond or parus of how slow they are.

00:47:28.615 --> 00:47:30.505
That's just, you know, the main reason I didn't pick them up.

00:47:30.505 --> 00:47:31.376
But I did love the anime.

00:47:31.945 --> 00:47:42.985
I picked up Pokemon Platinum, played that, I played Gen five later, Shortly after that, I didn't I Gen six up until, 2018, so it was very, very late.

00:47:44.246 --> 00:47:47.965
and then I picked up Sun and Moon when actually I met my fiance.

00:47:47.965 --> 00:47:49.195
So that was back in 2019.

00:47:49.195 --> 00:47:53.005
So, and then of course, sword and Shield, me and her actually went to the midnight launch for it.

00:47:53.275 --> 00:47:53.876
So

00:47:54.161 --> 00:47:55.360
Oh, nice.

00:47:55.405 --> 00:47:56.606
in time for Sword and Shield.

00:47:56.945 --> 00:47:58.476
we went to that midnight launch.

00:47:58.476 --> 00:48:05.110
And by the way, for context, that was actually the last ever midnight launch before the pandemic, So it meant, it meant a lot to me personally.

00:48:05.771 --> 00:48:05.951
We

00:48:06.126 --> 00:48:07.545
we played it together all the time.

00:48:07.661 --> 00:48:15.251
of course when the DOC came out for the, I believe it was the Crown Tundra with the Dynamax Adventures with, by the way, dynamite Adventures is one of the best ideas Pokemon has ever had.

00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:18.130
Please bring it back in some capacity in the future games.

00:48:18.161 --> 00:48:19.210
It is such a great idea.

00:48:19.315 --> 00:48:19.735
Mm-hmm.

00:48:19.871 --> 00:48:20.351
I'm begging you.

00:48:20.650 --> 00:48:22.641
Other than that, I'm basically all caught up now.

00:48:22.670 --> 00:48:24.981
I played Garland and Violet all the way through both games.

00:48:25.291 --> 00:48:32.550
as much as I really have pretty strong opinions on Scarlet and Violet, I, I love the games still, honestly, pretty much to their entirety in the whole series.

00:48:33.315 --> 00:48:40.065
And just for the game context, what do the games, specifically just the main series games give you that maybe you don't find in Pokemon Go?

00:48:40.246 --> 00:48:43.726
And what do you kind of, I guess, enjoy playing about them that keeps you going back to'em?

00:48:43.989 --> 00:48:45.043
Really two things.

00:48:45.043 --> 00:48:54.583
It's really the story aspect of it, and also just like the, the thrill of a play through going on an, a new adventure with a new team of Pokemon, or even the same team of Pokemon just reliving.

00:48:55.018 --> 00:48:56.278
Reliving some days, you know what I mean?

00:48:56.278 --> 00:48:58.619
Reliving like the glory days or reliving some memories and stuff like that.

00:48:58.619 --> 00:48:59.759
That's really what kind of gets me.

00:48:59.998 --> 00:49:04.079
Pokemon Go has an advantage where like you're making your own story as you go

00:49:04.204 --> 00:49:04.623
Mm-hmm.

00:49:04.768 --> 00:49:09.119
really, but also like it's an adventure throughout, you know, matter where you go.

00:49:09.208 --> 00:49:11.639
And that's one thing Pokemon Go will be absolutely unto with that.

00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:14.039
It's just, it's and its own league, that aspect.

00:49:14.489 --> 00:49:18.179
But the main series games, man, they're, there's so much magic to them.

00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:29.320
Shiny hunting especially, and the experiences of like getting a full lot shiny or even like a shiny charm, shiny, or just better yet experiencing a new part of the playthrough that you might've missed in your first play through or initial play throughs.

00:49:30.065 --> 00:49:32.226
make it a lot more like intriguing, you know?

00:49:32.668 --> 00:49:35.159
you and your fiance, it sounds like, you know, y'all did the midnight release together.

00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:36.568
Y'all played Pokemon Go together.

00:49:36.885 --> 00:49:38.865
like, how do y'all spend time together playing Pokemon?

00:49:38.865 --> 00:49:40.365
Like is it through Pokemon Go?

00:49:40.635 --> 00:49:41.746
Is it through Pokemon still?

00:49:41.746 --> 00:49:43.005
Like what does that look like?

00:49:43.110 --> 00:49:44.161
is mainly both actually.

00:49:44.161 --> 00:49:45.621
So, I never mentioned this actually.

00:49:45.650 --> 00:49:49.521
I actually quit streaming full-time back in 2023.

00:49:49.521 --> 00:49:51.891
so I can pursue actual Pokemon Go content.

00:49:52.190 --> 00:49:53.630
we were always streaming together.

00:49:53.630 --> 00:49:58.521
Pokemon, Pokemon Sword and Shield, Dynamax Adventures, or even with Scarlet and Violet came out, we were all doing shiny hunting on that.

00:49:58.893 --> 00:50:00.784
we did basically the whole nine yards with that.

00:50:00.884 --> 00:50:06.313
we quit because it was mainly personal reasons, but also really'cause Twitch kind of like changed all their algorithms and stuff like that.

00:50:06.313 --> 00:50:12.914
We really kind of didn't really, really see streaming as, as you can say, maybe a formidable future, you know what I mean?

00:50:13.226 --> 00:50:18.746
going on to Pokemon Go, we would always sneak outta the house late at night, even when we were like still full-time streamers.

00:50:18.746 --> 00:50:22.137
Playing Pokemon Go for like hours on end in the middle of the night looking for Shinies.

00:50:22.137 --> 00:50:34.527
You know, even when the glaring birds first dropped, we were so mesmerized by them that we literally would dedicate 15 minutes a night just to go out on a, a short little car ride and a short little route just so we can do our daily instance and stuff like that.

00:50:34.947 --> 00:50:38.067
And we would always be super in the Pokemon Go.

00:50:38.097 --> 00:50:40.286
We would always play it all would do Go fest.

00:50:40.336 --> 00:50:43.847
the first ever Go fest, first ever canceled tour, all the tours and stuff like that.

00:50:43.847 --> 00:50:45.197
We always did everything together.

00:50:45.317 --> 00:50:47.356
And this is when we didn't even have a camera in our hand.

00:50:47.387 --> 00:50:49.336
We, we didn't have the camera that I use now.

00:50:49.757 --> 00:50:59.376
We would just play casually, but we were all super into the game one thing led to another and then this is when I finally had it with streaming and I kind of basically put my foot down with streaming and I would just really couldn't do it anymore.

00:50:59.376 --> 00:50:59.976
I just really.

00:51:00.277 --> 00:51:01.717
I got so bored of it, really.

00:51:01.777 --> 00:51:05.407
And like I said, a couple of the personal things really this me for another time.

00:51:05.704 --> 00:51:10.967
we went out, the Adventure week when they really shiny Tyrunt around shiny Amaura, rose's, favorite Pokemon ones is Shiny Tyrunt.

00:51:10.967 --> 00:51:11.847
I love Tyrunt as well.

00:51:11.847 --> 00:51:14.637
It's one, one of my favorite fossils, possibly my favorite Fossil, like hers.

00:51:15.206 --> 00:51:19.407
the first 30 minutes of the event we were doing our usual route grinding.

00:51:19.856 --> 00:51:20.427
And I get it.

00:51:21.387 --> 00:51:22.856
Wild spa and I get it.

00:51:22.856 --> 00:51:23.847
And I was so happy.

00:51:24.637 --> 00:51:26.313
you know, the luck just kept on going.

00:51:26.313 --> 00:51:28.653
And I told her, I kind of sat her down when we were eating.

00:51:29.097 --> 00:51:30.896
Why don't we try something new?

00:51:30.896 --> 00:51:32.277
Or why don't I try something new?

00:51:32.697 --> 00:51:34.795
Why don't We ever make concept of Pokemon Go.

00:51:34.795 --> 00:51:35.755
Have you ever thought about it?

00:51:35.755 --> 00:51:39.146
And then she asked me, like, I'm surprised you haven't thought about it up until now.

00:51:39.175 --> 00:51:46.436
'cause I mean, you've always played the game more than I, I mean, we played the game together, but like she even said in her own words, I played the game more than her and I'm very, very passionate about it and stuff like that.

00:51:46.436 --> 00:51:48.056
Especially keeping up with events and stuff like that.

00:51:48.181 --> 00:51:48.601
Mm-hmm.

00:51:48.775 --> 00:51:52.556
then, well, we ended up, taking a, taking a, I guess you say taking a risk.

00:51:52.856 --> 00:51:56.365
little did I know I was literally pumping up video after video after video.

00:51:56.365 --> 00:52:01.346
It was so brand new to me, the whole vlog style, making videos while also going around the whole world.

00:52:01.405 --> 00:52:06.806
And like, you know, doing Pokemon Go and telling people like a little bit about myself, but also how I played the game and stuff like that.

00:52:07.094 --> 00:52:11.925
It is something that possibly saved my entire love for, content creation.

00:52:12.094 --> 00:52:12.514
mm-hmm.

00:52:12.554 --> 00:52:14.144
hold it super near and dear to my heart.

00:52:14.625 --> 00:52:20.775
I possibly would've been, done if Pokemon Go and the content creation that I was doing for it didn't pop off as it did.

00:52:21.028 --> 00:52:25.460
and this is now doing it full-time as opposed to doing it super part-time.

00:52:25.489 --> 00:52:27.889
'cause as I mentioned, I don't work full-time anymore, thank God.

00:52:27.889 --> 00:52:34.965
'cause I was working literally seven days in a row and I would dedicate some days just to play Pokemon, but I would I would only have like two a two hour session.

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.760
to like a, a usual four to six hour session that I would usually do.

00:52:38.070 --> 00:52:39.150
I'm appreciative.

00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:40.679
I'm so glad that, and I

00:52:40.824 --> 00:52:40.945
I

00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:43.619
this, who's listening, that risk.

00:52:43.650 --> 00:52:45.210
'cause you never know where it could lead you.

00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:49.019
that risk and here I am, honestly, happier as can be.

00:52:49.885 --> 00:52:51.719
and I made I return to streaming.

00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:54.929
I'm streaming mainly just variety games, Pokemon here and there and stuff like that.

00:52:54.929 --> 00:53:01.739
But I've even had a second channel, which I'm gonna be uploading more gaming stuff, gaming related news and stuff like that to it, which I, I love video games.

00:53:01.739 --> 00:53:03.059
I dunno if anybody can, anybody could tell.

00:53:03.059 --> 00:53:08.010
But this whole conversation, video games as a whole, I'm a huge fan of, I love video games, I love everything about'em and stuff like that.

00:53:08.010 --> 00:53:10.500
I've always loved talking about video games with people and stuff like that.

00:53:10.500 --> 00:53:15.684
I also also used to be an eSports coach, very, very briefly, in my old job and stuff like that,

00:53:16.164 --> 00:53:16.614
Oh, wow.

00:53:16.704 --> 00:53:17.065
Okay.

00:53:17.065 --> 00:53:18.054
Mm-hmm.

00:53:18.204 --> 00:53:22.284
very like big passion, really like, you know, telling people about video games, talking about video games and stuff like that.

00:53:22.764 --> 00:53:31.601
And I don't know, like when it came to Pokemon and Pokemon Go and all this other stuff, I thank Pokemon Go and the Pokemon franchise for keeping my love alive for content creation.

00:53:31.630 --> 00:53:33.251
'cause I would've been done literally a long time ago.

00:53:33.733 --> 00:53:35.682
What is it about Pokemon Go specifically?

00:53:35.682 --> 00:53:42.822
Like what do you like to try to capture when it comes to doing content creation and how do you try to implement that into the videos or the streams that you do?

00:53:43.338 --> 00:53:55.987
honestly, it's really about all about showcasing for me, like showcasing that there's still fun to be had in a game that obviously, you know, a lot of people are kind of like, I'd say maybe a lot of the veteran players, a lot are burnt out on, But there's so much more to it in my opinion.

00:53:55.987 --> 00:54:01.597
Like the places you can visit, the places you can see, the places you discover just by looking at your map.

00:54:01.597 --> 00:54:03.398
And you would never ever go there, ever.

00:54:03.398 --> 00:54:15.637
I mean, dude, I had no idea there was a huge campus that is also a church, like, literally like right down my road and it has a bunch of poke stops there and apparently a bunch of people go play there and I would've never known about that place.

00:54:15.637 --> 00:54:17.858
And it's been there since I was apparently still in diapers.

00:54:17.858 --> 00:54:21.577
So like it's been there for years and I've been living in Plano all my life, you

00:54:21.713 --> 00:54:22.063
Right.

00:54:22.208 --> 00:54:29.077
So you never would experience those kind of like places without games like Pokemon Go to actually take you there, like by accident really?

00:54:29.077 --> 00:54:29.797
If I'm being honest with you.

00:54:30.277 --> 00:54:33.728
And that's what makes it interesting for me is like everything happens by accident.

00:54:33.822 --> 00:54:33.943
accident.

00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:39.634
Pokemon Go is a very, very like happy little accident for me, but also like a little like accident accidental addiction for me

00:54:39.838 --> 00:54:40.259
Mm-hmm.

00:54:40.443 --> 00:54:40.893
like.

00:54:41.659 --> 00:54:44.239
just love the collection aspect when it comes to content and stuff like that.

00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:50.389
I love the showcase, like the Pokemon, they were like present in the wild, you know, things that you could possibly power up in the future and stuff like that.

00:54:50.389 --> 00:54:56.628
I even did a whole video like telling people, Hey, power up these Pokemon and also give some good advice for Dynamax Pokemon in case people didn't like Dynamax.

00:54:56.748 --> 00:54:57.829
Didn't dyax Pokemon too much.

00:54:57.829 --> 00:54:59.358
Especially they're super expensive to power up.

00:54:59.358 --> 00:55:00.018
They really are.

00:55:00.139 --> 00:55:07.956
I told them that find a friend, trade them because they are half the cost to power of for future ax, Pokemon Bond or future dynamax rates.

00:55:08.407 --> 00:55:10.836
And I love giving some little tips like that.

00:55:10.836 --> 00:55:17.641
'cause I've even had a lot of people say, I mean, sure it seems simple in your head, but to somebody else that means everything, And I love that.

00:55:17.641 --> 00:55:18.632
I love that feeling, man.

00:55:18.632 --> 00:55:19.442
It's so good.

00:55:19.831 --> 00:55:24.711
And I guess another thing I also love showcasing, really, it's just my love for Pokemon Man, like we're all nerds at the end of the day.

00:55:24.771 --> 00:55:26.211
Like, look, the game has its flaws.

00:55:26.211 --> 00:55:35.974
That's never been a, that's never been a secret, we can all find enjoyment in something that is, yes, very, very flawed, but brings so many people together.

00:55:35.974 --> 00:55:43.623
And the community that I built is wonderful because we all love this game we all have our opinions, and I love hearing people's opinions.

00:55:43.623 --> 00:55:45.753
Well, some opinions, I'll be honest with you, like,

00:55:45.764 --> 00:55:46.454
Some more than others.

00:55:46.454 --> 00:55:47.054
Yeah, I'm sure.

00:55:47.284 --> 00:55:47.704
there you go.

00:55:48.034 --> 00:55:51.034
Like, but like, man, Pokemon Go is a whole new beast when it comes to that.

00:55:51.063 --> 00:55:54.244
It has the most dedicated fan base of any other mobile game, in my opinion.

00:55:54.634 --> 00:56:00.543
And it just lives alive in so many people's heads because so many people made it a part of their daily lives, you know?

00:56:00.951 --> 00:56:06.594
Earlier you said you just became a community ambassador, fairly recent, within like a month or so, you know, now you hear content creator.

00:56:06.864 --> 00:56:11.034
What has been the kind of the, I guess, feedback you've received becoming a community ambassador?

00:56:11.034 --> 00:56:14.364
You know, are they welcoming that you're both a c content creator and ambassador?

00:56:14.664 --> 00:56:15.894
Like what is that like?

00:56:15.894 --> 00:56:17.514
Like how's your community responding to that?

00:56:17.695 --> 00:56:19.284
So I'm gonna be real.

00:56:19.394 --> 00:56:19.724
Sure.

00:56:19.844 --> 00:56:25.875
of the people that I'm friends with now didn't even know I did content, but they did see me around with my camera'cause I'm always walking around with my camera.

00:56:26.173 --> 00:56:27.934
know, some some of the feedback I received.

00:56:28.514 --> 00:56:29.579
It really, really has.

00:56:29.579 --> 00:56:50.293
and Obviously, like I've heard some things that, you know, is more of like a cause for like, I mean, I really don't really see why people would think that, but at the same time, I get it, I've received maybe, and this is just more of anonymous, anonymous tips from friends that I've had, that people are saying that like, I becoming in a community ambassador just to elevate my channel or am I becoming a community ambassador?

00:56:50.382 --> 00:56:54.552
You know, to actually help out the community and just, you know, do Pokemon Go as usually as anybody else would do.

00:56:55.242 --> 00:56:57.672
Honestly, I kind of

00:56:57.717 --> 00:56:58.237
I kind of hate

00:56:58.452 --> 00:57:03.822
because people, it, it's very, very natural for people to very, very quickly assume things.

00:57:04.106 --> 00:57:04.556
You know,

00:57:05.050 --> 00:57:05.380
Sure.

00:57:05.456 --> 00:57:08.036
of like, actually like, you know, kind of being, maybe putting two and two together.

00:57:08.036 --> 00:57:08.815
But I understand that.

00:57:08.815 --> 00:57:15.554
'cause honestly, if I was in their In their shoes or you know, thinking about another guy who was doing the same thing I did, but he was wanting to become an ambassador.

00:57:15.855 --> 00:57:17.684
You know what, I probably would think the same thing.

00:57:17.864 --> 00:57:18.494
I'm not gonna lie to you.

00:57:18.858 --> 00:57:30.188
I'm not gonna knock anybody for it, but I'm just gonna be flat out, honest and tell everybody here that, like, I never took this position to elevate my channel or elevate my content because I gain nothing.

00:57:30.596 --> 00:57:32.485
I gain no satisfaction from doing that.

00:57:32.846 --> 00:57:38.264
The only satisfaction I gain from doing being a community ambassador is being a community ambassador.

00:57:38.324 --> 00:57:45.434
Like being a leader, being somebody that you guys can depend on, hosting events, being your friend, talking to you, and stuff like that.

00:57:45.434 --> 00:57:46.335
And honestly.

00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:48.199
I just love interacting with people.

00:57:48.349 --> 00:57:50.135
Like I'm very, I'm a very, very social I love.

00:57:50.269 --> 00:57:51.260
love talking to people.

00:57:51.260 --> 00:57:52.849
I love getting people's stories out.

00:57:52.849 --> 00:57:55.230
I love also like, Hey, do you need help with this rate?

00:57:55.230 --> 00:57:56.610
I'll help you out with this rate and stuff like that.

00:57:56.940 --> 00:58:10.351
I hope, hopefully I'm not coming off as like, you know, weird as saying that, but like, it's just that, like for me, I, never really saw me becoming an ambassador and also doing content on the side as a way to elevate my channel because truthfully, it's not about that.

00:58:10.530 --> 00:58:10.681
Yeah.

00:58:10.681 --> 00:58:21.893
I do the channel for fun and I think personally, once you stop doing it for fun, it just stops being fun in general, and that's personally why I kind of like took a step back from Twitch is because I started treating it too much like a business.

00:58:22.074 --> 00:58:24.523
And once I started treating it too much like a business, I stopped.

00:58:24.523 --> 00:58:28.213
Because you started develop, developing like that kind of like toxic mindset, you know what I mean?

00:58:28.498 --> 00:58:32.998
So like, that's where like I'm at now, and again, I don't, I don't fault anybody for asking these questions.

00:58:32.998 --> 00:58:36.628
I, I love when people like, you know, wanna ask me questions about this, stuff like that.

00:58:36.989 --> 00:58:39.958
But I just want everybody to know here that I did not become an ambassador.

00:58:39.958 --> 00:58:44.876
The, any way, shape, or form to elevate my channel, my channel's still relatively small.

00:58:44.876 --> 00:58:48.565
I mean, 900 is a lot, but it's very, very Very small most channels.

00:58:48.565 --> 00:58:50.246
And I still consider it to be pretty small.

00:58:50.425 --> 00:58:51.715
And I'm blessed where I am right now.

00:58:51.715 --> 00:58:57.958
I think I, I thank God every single day and I literally thank my opportunities every single, day that I get, that I have the the opportunity.

00:58:58.048 --> 00:59:03.599
to do this every single day when I can and when I, you know, when I will basically, you know,

00:59:04.054 --> 00:59:07.563
So oddly enough I get that as more of a podcaster than I'm at community.

00:59:07.594 --> 00:59:10.503
'cause I run the Facebook group within DFW.

00:59:10.503 --> 00:59:12.094
I've run it for the past five years.

00:59:12.094 --> 00:59:15.304
I've been a community leader since probably 20 17, 20 18 in certain ways.

00:59:15.329 --> 00:59:15.619
okay.

00:59:15.994 --> 00:59:18.123
And you know, the community ambassador program's fairly new.

00:59:18.554 --> 00:59:19.844
I've elected to not, I.

00:59:20.188 --> 00:59:20.818
Pursue it.

00:59:20.909 --> 00:59:22.588
That's been pretty open about it.

00:59:22.648 --> 00:59:30.838
I don't know about the podcast, but at least locally, and part of it is that, you know, I want to keep the brand of the podcast and the community ambassador separate.

00:59:31.079 --> 00:59:32.666
I don't want them to mix together.

00:59:32.969 --> 00:59:35.010
I understand the expectations that are placed there.

00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:38.340
Some of the stuff that I wanna talk about would probably be frowned upon.

00:59:38.369 --> 00:59:39.570
And I'm just being honest.

00:59:39.570 --> 00:59:39.869
You know,

00:59:40.139 --> 00:59:40.440
Yeah,

00:59:40.469 --> 00:59:45.639
if you ever ask me in person, you know, I'm happy to talk about this, but I also do that because kinda what you said earlier.

00:59:46.268 --> 00:59:51.759
I remember back when I was in high school, we had a shirt for senior year and the one who organized her, her name was Ms.

00:59:51.759 --> 00:59:52.869
Vox, loved her to death.

00:59:52.869 --> 00:59:54.159
She was very just a sweet woman.

00:59:54.849 --> 00:59:55.929
She had this shirt she made.

00:59:55.929 --> 01:00:03.588
She said, why read the, it said, why read the back of the shirt when you can instead, follow or basically lead and see so much more.

01:00:03.619 --> 01:00:06.708
That was kind of, I butchered it like hell, but that's kind of what it was.

01:00:07.458 --> 01:00:07.518
Yeah,

01:00:07.579 --> 01:00:07.639
I, I.

01:00:08.208 --> 01:00:09.918
and I've always stuck to that.

01:00:09.918 --> 01:00:13.278
It's always been something that's kind of been in my mind I'm like, that makes so much sense.

01:00:13.278 --> 01:00:16.009
Why follow when you can just lead and see so much more?

01:00:16.668 --> 01:00:20.478
I've never believed that I need a community ambassador title to be an ambassador.

01:00:20.478 --> 01:00:22.039
I've been doing this stuff for a long time.

01:00:22.338 --> 01:00:22.998
I don't need it.

01:00:23.329 --> 01:00:28.248
Like that's more for people who are maybe more newer to the game who are trying to build communities.

01:00:28.668 --> 01:00:29.989
I don't need that title anymore.

01:00:30.498 --> 01:00:34.009
Like I said, I have six to seven years of both good and bad mistakes.

01:00:34.009 --> 01:00:34.818
Like I said, I'm human.

01:00:34.818 --> 01:00:41.659
I've made mistakes in stuff, some of the stuff I've done, but I've always preferred to lead by action because a lot of people can talk big talk.

01:00:42.010 --> 01:00:47.775
But when it comes to like boots on the ground when it comes to actually doing stuff, that's when you see who's really a leader.

01:00:48.434 --> 01:00:53.565
For example, as the poker ball turns, I give wristbands to the communities here.

01:00:53.954 --> 01:00:55.244
They don't have to pay for it.

01:00:55.664 --> 01:01:01.485
I wanted to be able to, when we built Tip Addison, I wrote a blog on it for on my website as the pickle ball turns.com encourage you to read it.

01:01:02.235 --> 01:01:03.974
I put it point blank and you can ask.

01:01:04.215 --> 01:01:05.429
The community leader is there.

01:01:06.150 --> 01:01:09.599
Y'all don't have to pay for these wristbands.

01:01:10.110 --> 01:01:10.530
Yes.

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:11.579
Does it have my branding?

01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:12.539
Absolutely.

01:01:13.380 --> 01:01:19.306
But the reason why I wanted to do that is I wanted to be able to order for some incentive for people who came to collect.

01:01:19.757 --> 01:01:20.418
That was it.

01:01:20.447 --> 01:01:22.878
I still don't, I don't, I still don't sell'em to this day.

01:01:23.327 --> 01:01:26.418
if you come to Community Day, you're gonna get the wristband for free.

01:01:27.288 --> 01:01:31.998
And I do that because I want, as a brand to be involved within the Pokemon community.

01:01:32.478 --> 01:01:38.478
I don't wanna be seen as somebody who's out of touch or somebody who's like a figurehead.

01:01:38.807 --> 01:01:41.568
I wanna be like, yeah, he gets out the wristbands all the time.

01:01:41.568 --> 01:01:42.347
He's involved with the community.

01:01:42.347 --> 01:01:43.487
I've always wanted to be engaged.

01:01:43.487 --> 01:01:45.378
That's why I try to attend these events as much as I can.

01:01:45.710 --> 01:01:57.083
And I think it's important, and I say this because I think it's important now, especially with everything going on, both in conation as well as the real world, that us content creators, whether you're a podcaster, a streamer, a.

01:01:57.170 --> 01:01:58.670
YouTube or whatever you are.

01:01:59.023 --> 01:02:08.414
I think it's more important that we are involved with these communities to be a light as well as also to help guide some of these leaders who do the hard work.

01:02:08.983 --> 01:02:10.574
Like I said, all I do is just I do wristband.

01:02:10.574 --> 01:02:11.023
That's it.

01:02:11.054 --> 01:02:12.193
I don't do anything else.

01:02:12.764 --> 01:02:14.114
I go and help out when I can.

01:02:14.353 --> 01:02:15.614
they do all the hard work.

01:02:15.614 --> 01:02:20.534
I just show up and give some wristbands for the community so they can have some free swag and they can do it.

01:02:20.534 --> 01:02:21.554
That's all it is.

01:02:21.688 --> 01:02:22.798
it's all in love for the community too.

01:02:22.798 --> 01:02:27.628
I mean, like it's all for the experience of like, hey, well, being welcoming to the community that you already are a part of, you know?

01:02:27.659 --> 01:02:28.108
I mean,

01:02:28.123 --> 01:02:28.664
Exactly,

01:02:28.708 --> 01:02:29.458
get that a hundred percent.

01:02:29.728 --> 01:02:31.465
on that note, that's gonna be an interview.

01:02:31.878 --> 01:02:33.798
I did wanna ask one final question.

01:02:34.315 --> 01:02:34.606
Okay.

01:02:34.905 --> 01:02:37.695
So I actually did know that you are a wrestling fan.

01:02:37.996 --> 01:02:43.996
So my question is this, if you had to choose six Pokemon, that would be wrestlers what?

01:02:43.996 --> 01:02:44.655
Six Pokemon.

01:02:44.655 --> 01:02:45.465
Would you choose

01:02:45.481 --> 01:02:46.231
Oh God.

01:02:46.755 --> 01:02:46.965
Okay.

01:02:46.965 --> 01:02:48.735
Obviously easiest one.

01:02:48.735 --> 01:02:51.715
Part of my favorite, one of my favorite Pokemons ever, everyone knows this about me.

01:02:51.956 --> 01:02:53.021
I love freaking hacha.

01:02:53.025 --> 01:02:54.715
Hacha is obviously like Raymond Cereal.

01:02:54.806 --> 01:02:56.025
I mean, that's, that's basically what it is.

01:02:56.465 --> 01:02:57.485
Halla is Raymond Cereal.

01:02:57.485 --> 01:02:58.085
A hundred percent.

01:02:58.534 --> 01:02:59.585
I'd say.

01:02:59.614 --> 01:03:00.485
Let's see here.

01:03:00.829 --> 01:03:06.010
For me, realistically, macho instead of macha, I just think, honestly, the forearms is kind of weird, mm-hmm.

01:03:06.019 --> 01:03:10.369
think macho actually looks more like an actual, like, you know, wrestler than Macha does.

01:03:10.550 --> 01:03:11.050
That's fair.

01:03:11.150 --> 01:03:11.599
personal prep.

01:03:11.690 --> 01:03:14.960
Honestly, I've always thought macho look like z from a, from a street fighter.

01:03:15.380 --> 01:03:15.590
So

01:03:15.605 --> 01:03:15.844
Okay.

01:03:15.949 --> 01:03:17.630
where I kinda like put it on, Hama.

01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:19.539
Sumo Wrestler also a big guy too.

01:03:19.590 --> 01:03:21.690
I think he also looks like a e Honda from Street Fighter.

01:03:21.690 --> 01:03:23.280
So another reason I like him too.

01:03:23.619 --> 01:03:24.250
so there you go.

01:03:24.250 --> 01:03:27.909
So yeah, Hama, macho Oh man.

01:03:27.909 --> 01:03:30.190
Who would else would be a cool one That has to be like a really dope one.

01:03:30.309 --> 01:03:32.110
everyone's gonna be like saying in the conversation below.

01:03:32.110 --> 01:03:33.130
Oh, you should have said this one.

01:03:33.130 --> 01:03:33.969
I want, you know, hang on.

01:03:33.969 --> 01:03:34.480

01:03:35.320 --> 01:03:35.590
Hang on.

01:03:36.579 --> 01:03:36.969

01:03:37.150 --> 01:03:37.480
let's see.

01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:38.710
I got the three down.

01:03:39.097 --> 01:03:39.547
Okay.

01:03:39.547 --> 01:03:39.876
Honestly.

01:03:39.907 --> 01:03:40.327
Okay.

01:03:40.327 --> 01:03:41.347
Could you say Rio?

01:03:41.347 --> 01:03:41.646
Really?

01:03:41.646 --> 01:03:44.947
But Rio is more like, more like, you know, Anubis.

01:03:44.947 --> 01:03:46.686
Like, would you, would you say Rio?

01:03:47.322 --> 01:03:48.222
Hey, this is your list, man.

01:03:48.222 --> 01:03:48.942
I'm not gonna judge you.

Yeah, fine, fine.

01:03:50.331 --> 01:03:51.472
I'll put Ari on there for now.

Yeah,

01:03:52.012 --> 01:03:52.516

01:03:55.385 --> 01:03:56.284
Kelder, I gotta put perspective.

01:03:56.284 --> 01:03:58.019
My boy Kunk DER's, kunk DER's work.

01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:03.929
you know, he's, he's holding those really, really two big, cylinder blocks and honestly I probably couldn't do that in real life.

01:04:05.820 --> 01:04:06.539
I think he's pretty cool.

01:04:06.539 --> 01:04:06.900

01:04:21.438 --> 01:04:25.617
My original Garina and my original, oh my God, my original platinum copy.

01:04:25.617 --> 01:04:26.818
I named it the Undertaker.

01:04:27.268 --> 01:04:28.347
Because he's from the underworld.

01:04:29.257 --> 01:04:31.807
undertaker is po possibly my favorite wrestler.

01:04:31.927 --> 01:04:33.577
That's not C Punk or John Cena.

01:04:33.577 --> 01:04:34.717
Also, John c is a bad guy.

01:04:34.717 --> 01:04:36.367
