00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.169
I'm BunearyQueenAlexis, and this is my Pokemon story.

00:00:43.018 --> 00:00:45.448
Welcome to as the Pokemon Ball Turns.

00:00:45.628 --> 00:00:47.817
We're interview people about their experience with Pokemon.

00:00:48.274 --> 00:00:50.124
My name is David Hernandez.

00:00:50.564 --> 00:01:00.387
I'm joined by BunearyQueenAlexis, an irresistible trainer who keeps calm and carrots on BunearyQueensAlexis, welcome to As The Pokeball Turns turns.

00:01:00.841 --> 00:01:01.591
Glad to be here.

00:01:02.043 --> 00:01:07.563
Absolutely, and I'm excited to kind of dive into your experience with Pokemon and what brought you into this franchise.

00:01:07.563 --> 00:01:11.254
So let's start from the beginning, like what's the first experience when it comes to Pokemon?

00:01:11.695 --> 00:01:17.242
my first experience was honestly playing Pokemon yellow and my older brother had Pokemon Blue.

00:01:17.543 --> 00:01:21.099
I think I was like seven or eight when it just came out.

00:01:21.423 --> 00:01:24.033
back then I was not the best of trainers.

00:01:24.033 --> 00:01:29.868
I think I took on Brock with a level 22 Pidgeotto because I didn't know what I was doing.

00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.828
And little Lexus at the time thought big numbers meant better.

00:01:34.132 --> 00:01:35.572
Didn't know typings, none of that.

00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:43.713
if I could look at myself back then and just look at my team, I'd just sit there and just face palm against the wall and be like, what the fuck was I doing?

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.460
I mean, I think we all do that.

00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:47.501
You know, a lot of us had the four attacks.

00:01:47.531 --> 00:01:49.036
Some of us try to relive the anime.

00:01:49.036 --> 00:01:49.426
I know I did.

00:01:49.426 --> 00:01:52.426
I tried to use thunder shock on Onix so many times and didn't work.

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:54.718
you said your brother played as well, so

00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:55.388
Yeah.

00:01:55.588 --> 00:01:56.429
battle each other?

00:01:56.429 --> 00:01:58.168
Would y'all just kind of share each other's games?

00:01:58.168 --> 00:02:00.239
Like what was that dynamic like for between y'all two?

00:02:00.748 --> 00:02:09.695
It, it, it, it, it was more of a, I bet I can beat the game faster than you can, but, uh, when your starter is a Pikachu, not knowing typings, yeah.

00:02:09.695 --> 00:02:11.675
I was at a high disadvantage

00:02:12.121 --> 00:02:12.570
I'm gonna go

00:02:12.616 --> 00:02:12.915
there.

00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:14.911
to say that he probably picked Squirtle.

00:02:14.911 --> 00:02:15.481
Is that fair to say?

00:02:15.975 --> 00:02:18.459
I, I don't even remember which one he picked.

00:02:18.459 --> 00:02:21.378
I don't remember if it was Squirtle or Bulbasaur, or what, but it's like.

00:02:21.378 --> 00:02:26.626
By the end, I had a level 80 Pidgeot and everybody else was like level forties though.

00:02:27.135 --> 00:02:27.825
Wow.

00:02:27.825 --> 00:02:30.526
It sounds like Pidgeot was like your ace in the hole back in those days.

00:02:30.812 --> 00:02:41.543
well it, it was more of a, it's kind of a solo run without it being a solo run because I never actually trained any of my Pokemon, I just rolled with one the entire time.

00:02:41.932 --> 00:02:45.649
it worked out pretty well for generations one, two, and three.

00:02:45.992 --> 00:02:47.943
Generation four not so much.

00:02:48.437 --> 00:02:49.127
Ooh.

00:02:49.788 --> 00:02:52.907
wonder why, why would gen four give you so much issues with just one Pokemon?

00:02:53.103 --> 00:03:04.763
I mean, well, I chose, Turtwig as my starter and of course starter Pokemon ends up over leveled everybody else ends up left behind, and, uh, Cyrus kind of had everything to kill a Torterra.

00:03:05.061 --> 00:03:07.191
I mean, he had a Weavile that was speed as fuck.

00:03:07.578 --> 00:03:15.461
I think the only thing that got me through gen four is one of my best friends looked at my team, slap me upside the head and said, give me your game.

00:03:15.491 --> 00:03:16.420
I will help you.

00:03:16.945 --> 00:03:17.545
Oh.

00:03:17.561 --> 00:03:19.328
took the game home, trained up.

00:03:19.395 --> 00:03:23.135
All my other Pokemon and gave it back to me and said, here now, face him.

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:26.181
So he did all the hard work for you to where he just like, okay, hold on.

00:03:26.181 --> 00:03:30.860
He needs to level up something else besides to the Torterra to be able to beat this guy.

00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:30.920
Yeah.

00:03:31.175 --> 00:03:31.656
Yeah.

00:03:31.953 --> 00:03:33.306
I mean, I'll learn right then.

00:03:33.306 --> 00:03:36.276
It's like, okay, keep everybody this same levels else.

00:03:37.325 --> 00:03:40.086
Don't just try to run with only your starter.

00:03:40.555 --> 00:03:44.439
So here's what he had, he had a Honchkrow, a Gyarados,.

00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:46.590
a Crobat, and a Weavile.

00:03:46.891 --> 00:03:47.222
Yep.

00:03:47.412 --> 00:03:49.956
Honchcrow, Crobat, Weavile,, I was fucked.

00:03:50.706 --> 00:03:53.347
Yeah, and these all had the moves to beat Torra.

00:03:53.347 --> 00:03:55.521
You know, you had Honchkrow with drill peck, Yep.

00:03:55.521 --> 00:03:57.081
Gyarados with Ice Fang.

00:03:57.081 --> 00:04:05.377
Weavile, of course with ice punch And Crobat, which knows cross poison and air slash So you really were going against the grain, at least in gen four.

00:04:05.951 --> 00:04:06.241
Yeah,

00:04:07.014 --> 00:04:11.993
When it came to you sticking through Pokemon because we, you know, you just touched on how you played the first four generations.

00:04:12.234 --> 00:04:15.024
What did you like about Pokemon compared to maybe other games?

00:04:15.074 --> 00:04:16.793
I, I just like the cute little creatures.

00:04:17.377 --> 00:04:18.937
I really saw all the different types of Pokemon.

00:04:19.507 --> 00:04:23.043
Even though I didn't really use them, cause a starter ends up over leveled.

00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:25.899
why did you think you had just such a, attachment to your starter?

00:04:26.444 --> 00:04:34.500
I was thinking big numbers would be better at the time, so it was easier for me to just focus on one Pokemon to make it at the highest number possible.

00:04:34.872 --> 00:04:35.322
I see.

00:04:35.322 --> 00:04:38.982
So you wanted to see that number get as highest possible with the starter, and that's

00:04:39.072 --> 00:04:39.252
Yeah.

00:04:39.341 --> 00:04:40.151
to always get the highest

00:04:40.451 --> 00:04:40.752
Yeah.

00:04:40.752 --> 00:04:41.112
And then,

00:04:41.322 --> 00:04:41.471
one.

00:04:41.802 --> 00:04:42.341
then grinding.

00:04:42.341 --> 00:04:55.845
Everybody else was boring and didn't really wanna do it, so I was like, if I can get this number really big and get through everything, what do I need to worry about the other guys for, they'll just be thrown in there if I need to revive my of Pokemon.

00:04:56.129 --> 00:05:00.540
You know, am I earned this dedication because you literally just stuck with one Pokemon for the first.

00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:06.930
you know, if we assume you played every single game, at least the first be maybe 10 games.

00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:07.860
I think three.

00:05:08.009 --> 00:05:09.120
No, three, six.

00:05:09.329 --> 00:05:09.839
Let's see.

00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.560
Yellow.

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:10.709
I,

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:12.269
11, 12 games at

00:05:12.329 --> 00:05:14.310
yeah, I play, yeah, I played yellow.

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:19.569
I believe I had gold crystal, then I had Ruby, and then Emerald.

00:05:19.857 --> 00:05:20.307
Dang.

00:05:20.367 --> 00:05:20.757
You do.

00:05:20.877 --> 00:05:24.237
Hey, er, well, I guess I can't be survivors by home and he's actually, doable.

00:05:24.396 --> 00:05:26.846
Who's your starters within those generations?

00:05:27.154 --> 00:05:35.264
well, gen one was Pikachu, but Pidgeotto ended up, being the quote unquote starters and Pikachu couldn't do jack shit to an Onix.

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:35.810
Right.

00:05:36.132 --> 00:05:38.512
And, then generation two I had Cyndaquil.

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:46.274
generation three was Mudkip because I didn't like any of the other water types that I'd be able to catch in Ruby.

00:05:46.274 --> 00:05:47.024
And of course.

00:05:47.086 --> 00:05:56.699
nothing could learn surf in Ruby except for your starter, if you're not leveling up everything to actually be able to be high enough to learn such moves on certain ones.

00:05:57.113 --> 00:06:00.206
So Mudkip was chosen simply because I needed surf.

00:06:00.685 --> 00:06:05.394
do you still find yourself sometimes sticking to only one Pokemon even to this day, or do you actually keep a balanced team now?

00:06:05.785 --> 00:06:06.944
I keep a balanced team.

00:06:07.375 --> 00:06:07.855
Well, you sure.

00:06:07.855 --> 00:06:09.204
I mean, you can always try to play one game.

00:06:09.204 --> 00:06:10.134
This is actually pretty interesting.

00:06:10.134 --> 00:06:13.074
Like you could just do one game and one Pokemon for each game.

00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:23.024
I know it's a, it, I mean, they've made it a lot easier to keep your team the same level, especially with, gen six gave us the XP all again, the type.

00:06:23.024 --> 00:06:28.180
If you didn't turn that on, you've pretty much gained everybody, get experience no matter what.

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.050
So everyone's levels.

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:31.793
It went around the same, so it's like, oh, I need to use this Pokemon.

00:06:31.793 --> 00:06:32.093
Now.

00:06:32.153 --> 00:06:33.293
He's good enough level.

00:06:33.293 --> 00:06:35.697
I don't sit there like, oh crap, I need a flying type.

00:06:35.697 --> 00:06:40.166
But my flying type's level 12 and everybody else is level 33.

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:41.113
Oops.

00:06:42.553 --> 00:06:45.613
And then now gen, then gen seven, they're like, you know what?

00:06:45.644 --> 00:06:48.223
We're not even going to give you the option to turn it on and off.

00:06:48.223 --> 00:06:50.144
It's just gonna be flat on the entire time.

00:06:50.591 --> 00:06:53.531
Well, since you have been so much experience with Pokemon, let's break it down in half.

00:06:53.711 --> 00:06:53.891
So

00:06:54.007 --> 00:06:54.226
Hmm.

00:06:54.252 --> 00:06:59.831
Generation one through four, what was your favorite generation of games to play with the early part of Pokemon On

00:07:00.288 --> 00:07:01.098
Honestly, three.

00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:03.084
I, I really enjoyed Hoenn.

00:07:03.411 --> 00:07:08.324
even thinking about it now, I, it gets so much shape for the quote, unquote, too much water.

00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:12.309
But at the same time, the theme of that was land versus sea.

00:07:12.689 --> 00:07:16.744
So it made more sense for it to be just about even this, like that to me.

00:07:17.278 --> 00:07:20.584
Was it really, even though,'cause you always seen those comics to where Mm-hmm.

00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:22.434
like, do you Really wanna do this.

00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.059
like, you know, he's trash talking still.

00:07:24.418 --> 00:07:24.658
Yeah.

00:07:24.658 --> 00:07:27.651
But it's like you needed a good chunk of water.

00:07:27.651 --> 00:07:32.785
You couldn't just have like two or three water routes and then make feel like the theme is land versus sea.

00:07:32.785 --> 00:07:36.754
It's like at that point the sea is, uh, losing this battle handedly.

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.170
Right, right.

00:07:39.499 --> 00:07:45.619
And I think what I enjoyed most about Gen three, especially with the water side, is that it still made it seem like, I know people like make fun of that.

00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:45.798
You

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:46.178
Mm-hmm.

00:07:46.278 --> 00:07:47.819
like how could Groudon face Kyogre?

00:07:47.838 --> 00:07:52.158
And I know, ORAS addressed that a little bit, but you still saw the land even

00:07:52.223 --> 00:07:52.504
Yeah.

00:07:52.788 --> 00:07:56.629
to, when you're in the Sea Park, you had Mossdeep, you had Sootopolis, where

00:07:56.884 --> 00:07:57.394
Right.

00:07:57.588 --> 00:07:59.269
civilization inside the crater.

00:07:59.269 --> 00:08:01.369
Like you land was still fighting in there.

00:08:01.369 --> 00:08:03.379
Although I think people would still lean towards water though.

00:08:03.678 --> 00:08:04.129
Oh yeah.

00:08:04.533 --> 00:08:09.500
If you were gonna do like a play through Ruby Sapphire, Emerald, what six Pokemon would you choose?

00:08:09.911 --> 00:08:18.932
I mean, honestly thinking about it now, I'd still have Mudkip because I liked the water ground typing, but I, think I probably would have a Zigzagoon just to.

00:08:18.932 --> 00:08:22.651
Have someone else that can use, uh, the freaking, hms.

00:08:23.004 --> 00:08:38.081
I probably would have Taillow for a flying type there and I think I wouldn't really keep anything else around till about Aron and then a Electrike there and see I need what, one more Pokemon.

00:08:38.292 --> 00:08:39.581
Yeah, that's five right there.

00:08:39.945 --> 00:08:40.815
Honestly, probably Toal,

00:08:41.318 --> 00:08:42.578
I don't inter white rhetorical.

00:08:42.609 --> 00:08:43.058
That's a it.

00:08:43.524 --> 00:08:43.869
I don't know.

00:08:44.109 --> 00:08:47.558
Don't wanna say it's an oddball, but it's just with what you chose, it's a different one.

00:08:48.219 --> 00:08:54.094
I mean, I feel like I need a fire type there and part of me, doesn't really want to go with Numel.

00:08:54.149 --> 00:08:56.769
kind of deal that like where else would I at that point?

00:08:56.769 --> 00:08:58.629
What other fire types are.

00:08:59.453 --> 00:09:00.083
To gen three.

00:09:00.083 --> 00:09:04.464
'cause let's be fair, I like to use the new Pokemon when playing a A game.

00:09:04.913 --> 00:09:08.879
Uh, so you don't try to use the old ones or any of the old Pokemon once you go into a new generation.

00:09:09.234 --> 00:09:10.043
Right, right, right.

00:09:10.418 --> 00:09:11.139
I'm the same way.

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.674
Like I feel like you're spoiling yourself if you don't at least try some of the new Pokemon.

00:09:14.674 --> 00:09:17.554
Even on some of them, there's some generations I like more than others, but I

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:17.870
Yeah.

00:09:17.884 --> 00:09:19.325
to get new Pokemon.

00:09:19.325 --> 00:09:23.225
I even have a rule for myself to where I can't reuse the same Pokemon at any point.

00:09:23.524 --> 00:09:23.815
Yeah.

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:23.899
Yeah.

00:09:24.485 --> 00:09:27.544
you know, a good example for this is I used Alakazam and Pokemon, red, blue, and yellow.

00:09:27.575 --> 00:09:29.345
I can't, I've not used Alakazam since.

00:09:29.706 --> 00:09:32.817
Right, and for me it's like new region, new experience.

00:09:33.027 --> 00:09:37.009
How do I get a new experience if I'm using, let's say, Pidgey every time.

00:09:37.309 --> 00:09:38.899
If I keep using the same Pokemon?

00:09:38.899 --> 00:09:44.029
Is it really a new experience or does it just feel like the same experience just tacked onto another region?

00:09:45.096 --> 00:09:48.187
It's like a little fresh coat of paint, but it's just the same Pokemon over and over.

00:09:48.517 --> 00:09:48.937
Right.

00:09:49.301 --> 00:09:50.892
Now I know your name's after Buneary.

00:09:50.912 --> 00:09:52.022
What's the story behind that?

00:09:52.442 --> 00:09:53.851
Pokemon Go, pretty much.

00:09:53.851 --> 00:09:58.365
Uh, me and my friends, we used to hold like a Pokemon Go Raid bus.

00:09:58.365 --> 00:10:03.725
We drove around on a bus, about 50 people doing the Legendaries whatever was in pipe surveys at the time.

00:10:04.251 --> 00:10:06.322
We were doing one for Latios at the time.

00:10:06.532 --> 00:10:15.692
Shiny was just made available, Shuckle's shiny was just made, made available through some live event that was going on, and they had their usual spring event.

00:10:15.995 --> 00:10:18.215
Buneary was just released as shiny.

00:10:18.504 --> 00:10:20.004
everybody was on the bus.

00:10:20.004 --> 00:10:21.424
Were getting, they're getting Shuckle.

00:10:21.445 --> 00:10:22.674
They're getting Latias.

00:10:23.111 --> 00:10:25.812
I keep clicking Buneary and they kept being shiny.

00:10:27.304 --> 00:10:32.195
I was told specifically to stop clicking on Buneary if I wanted to stop getting it shiny.

00:10:32.195 --> 00:10:39.894
However, I did not listen because they were on my screen and I wanted to click them, and at the time I was then dubbed the"Buneary KIng" by my friends as a joke.

00:10:40.322 --> 00:10:43.501
Because I just kept clicking on Buneary and getting more and more shiny.

00:10:43.562 --> 00:10:47.532
I think I had about 20, if not more, shinies of it by the end of the day.

00:10:47.652 --> 00:10:48.626
Oh my gosh.

00:10:48.927 --> 00:10:49.856
That had Buneary loved you!.

00:10:50.172 --> 00:10:50.562
Yeah.

00:10:50.621 --> 00:10:50.922
Mm-hmm.

00:10:51.167 --> 00:10:52.211
It, it definitely loved me.

00:10:52.751 --> 00:10:55.211
Do you still have the shiny, did you keep'em in your Pokemon Go inventory

00:10:55.605 --> 00:10:59.798
I have since traded off some of them to friends that needed Buneary.

00:10:59.817 --> 00:11:03.327
'cause clearly I'm the one that was getting the Buneary and not anybody else.

00:11:04.437 --> 00:11:04.857
fair.

00:11:05.267 --> 00:11:10.759
I still have, quite a bit in Pokemon Go, but it's like I don't have nearly the amount that I had that day.

00:11:11.057 --> 00:11:15.001
That's the one thing I love about Pokemon Go, is you can kind of make their own kind of, I say.

00:11:15.001 --> 00:11:17.741
different memories compared to the main series games main series games.

00:11:17.741 --> 00:11:21.881
I don't think trading as viewed as, I'll say valuable.

00:11:22.091 --> 00:11:22.442
Right.

00:11:22.542 --> 00:11:30.741
Compared to Pokemon Go you, Like, for me, when Pokemon Go, I feel like there's more significance when you trade a Pokemon compared to like the main series where it's like, oh, I had plenty of those in a box.

00:11:30.741 --> 00:11:30.951
You know,

00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:31.777
Right.

00:11:31.792 --> 00:11:32.767
Oh, oh, for sure.

00:11:32.767 --> 00:11:35.131
And it's like, oh, where, where did I find this Pokemon?

00:11:35.131 --> 00:11:35.761
Or whatever.

00:11:36.032 --> 00:11:38.011
I would go to Route two, three, whatever.

00:11:38.315 --> 00:11:43.154
I could tell stories about how I found some of my first Pokemon of Pokemon Go kind of deal.

00:11:43.154 --> 00:11:46.309
And it's like, Doesn't feel as the same as everybody else.

00:11:46.309 --> 00:11:49.269
'cause it's like, yeah, I found 20 something Buneary.

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.544
Meanwhile, my buddy next to me can't get a shiny Buneary to save his life.

00:11:53.995 --> 00:11:57.684
When it comes to Pokemon Go, did you play when it first debuted?

00:11:57.684 --> 00:11:59.544
Like what's your first original story with that?

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:07.419
I, did, I, played when very first came out, me and a, a buddy of mine, we were at a poker game actually, and I, I had just lost my money.

00:12:07.746 --> 00:12:11.592
And so I didn't have a good night that night, and of course I'm playing on my phone.

00:12:11.592 --> 00:12:12.702
It's like getting notification.

00:12:12.702 --> 00:12:14.472
It's like, Hey, Pokemon goes now dropped.

00:12:14.472 --> 00:12:17.513
It's like, right, hold on, let me go ahead and, uh, download the game.

00:12:17.873 --> 00:12:21.200
Luckily the internet was good enough right there, downloaded it.

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:26.647
I think I caught Bulbasaur as my first Pokemon there, and then just kept playing while I was right there and.

00:12:27.048 --> 00:12:32.855
As we drove back home, drove to another place to hang out, like just sitting there like, let's catch this Pokemon.

00:12:32.855 --> 00:12:33.934
Let's catch this Pokemon.

00:12:34.317 --> 00:12:37.528
Of course, I didn't know anything about the stats and didn't care about the stats.

00:12:37.528 --> 00:12:38.998
I just thought big numbers

00:12:39.434 --> 00:12:41.835
Really, so you're still numbers driven, even with Pokemon Go.

00:12:42.225 --> 00:12:46.115
all when you had no other way to figure out stats in that game.

00:12:46.115 --> 00:12:47.735
It's like I just kept the bigger number.

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:54.101
Especially I guess in that day we got reinforced by that because you know, the gyms at the time were determined by the higher your CP Pokemon, so

00:12:54.302 --> 00:12:54.461
Mm-hmm.

00:12:54.522 --> 00:12:57.471
think it was something like Snorlax, Dragonite, Gyarados,.

00:12:57.672 --> 00:12:58.451
Those were the Pokemon you

00:12:58.451 --> 00:12:58.621
Chansey

00:12:59.022 --> 00:12:59.501
gyms.

00:12:59.672 --> 00:13:01.886
Blissey, when Gen two got released,

00:13:01.961 --> 00:13:04.182
God man, that was, that was, those are dark days.

00:13:04.302 --> 00:13:04.721
Still are

00:13:04.976 --> 00:13:07.072
or, or Oh yeah, for sure.

00:13:07.072 --> 00:13:07.552
Dark Days.

00:13:08.049 --> 00:13:09.879
where would you and your friends try to go play Pokemon Go?

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.580
Would y'all like go to local park, city, downtown?

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.817
local park where a buddy of mine lived.

00:13:15.235 --> 00:13:26.317
I think a lot of times there was a, hookah cafe that we'd hang out with, so it's like there was a Pokestop near there, so it's like I'd always be playing there and it's like, oh, there's a Pokemon near the Pokestop that I need, or around that area.

00:13:26.317 --> 00:13:29.032
So walk to the Pokestop and catch stuff.

00:13:29.475 --> 00:13:34.904
When it came to Pokemon Go, and you know, as the game progressed, what was your relationship when it came to the game?

00:13:34.904 --> 00:13:37.269
Were you like playing it constantly coming in and out of it?

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:48.409
I would say I was playing it very constantly and I feel like I'd still be playing it constantly if it wasn't for the remote raid limit and price increase.

00:13:48.706 --> 00:13:51.361
I wouldn't have cared if they just put the price.

00:13:51.361 --> 00:13:51.841
Increase.

00:13:51.841 --> 00:13:53.011
I would've been like, oh, whatever.

00:13:53.011 --> 00:13:54.211
I guess I gotta pay more.

00:13:54.721 --> 00:13:56.967
But the Remote Raiding kind of deal.

00:13:57.177 --> 00:14:06.357
Putting a limit on that, knowing that full well with the environment and stuff we got going on now, a lot of people can't go out and actually do Raids anymore.

00:14:06.357 --> 00:14:10.413
So it's like when Covid hit the raid bus stuff that we had went away.

00:14:10.863 --> 00:14:12.986
We hadn't been able to do that again.

00:14:12.986 --> 00:14:17.437
We haven't thought about doing the raid bus stuff again, but like I'm at work all the time.

00:14:17.557 --> 00:14:18.547
Remote Raidings.

00:14:18.667 --> 00:14:21.389
The only way that I can do raids sometimes.

00:14:21.706 --> 00:14:26.582
Now you're telling me I can only do five of those when, let's be fair, Deoxys was out.

00:14:26.643 --> 00:14:30.722
I did a hundred of tho of those raids to get the shiny when it first released.

00:14:31.017 --> 00:14:35.572
A hundred, I would say probably 80 of those were remote raids.

00:14:35.883 --> 00:14:38.373
You put the price increase, guess how much money you made?

00:14:38.373 --> 00:14:42.773
Just from me wanting a fricking Shiny Deoxys.

00:14:43.442 --> 00:14:45.664
A lot, especially when you factor in the price of it.

00:14:45.669 --> 00:14:45.788
Yeah.

00:14:46.253 --> 00:14:48.052
Didn't get that shiny deis, by the way.

00:14:48.383 --> 00:14:48.982
Really.

00:14:48.982 --> 00:14:50.363
Even after all those raids

00:14:50.513 --> 00:14:50.783
Yep.

00:14:50.993 --> 00:14:51.863
All those raids.

00:14:52.253 --> 00:14:52.913
Never got one.

00:14:53.243 --> 00:14:53.482
okay.

00:14:53.572 --> 00:14:54.503
None of them, so not

00:14:54.623 --> 00:14:54.893
Nope.

00:14:55.102 --> 00:14:55.342
Nope.

00:14:55.763 --> 00:14:56.543
Not a single one.

00:14:56.618 --> 00:14:58.077
What did you do to Deoxys?

00:14:58.102 --> 00:14:59.302
I don't fucking know.

00:15:00.934 --> 00:15:01.595
Oh my gosh.

00:15:01.595 --> 00:15:02.225
I wish I could trade you.

00:15:02.225 --> 00:15:03.335
We can't even trade mythical Pokemon.

00:15:03.335 --> 00:15:04.085
That's the worst part.

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:04.669
Nope.

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:10.226
I have a shiny Deoxys in my shiny living decks now, but, it was from a buddy of mine that got two of them.

00:15:10.616 --> 00:15:13.047
And le Way less raids, by the way.

00:15:13.504 --> 00:15:14.554
I can sense a little

00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:15.139
Yeah.

00:15:15.154 --> 00:15:15.335
that.

00:15:15.335 --> 00:15:16.085
It's like, oh my God.

00:15:16.205 --> 00:15:17.284
Unless Ray, by

00:15:17.330 --> 00:15:17.690
Yeah.

00:15:17.825 --> 00:15:17.884
Yeah.

00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:19.100
Le less raids.

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:19.919
Mm-hmm.

00:15:19.955 --> 00:15:20.375
There.

00:15:20.375 --> 00:15:27.284
And of course it's like I traded him whatever Shiny's he wanted that was in Pokemon Go for him to just send the Deoxys access to my home account.

00:15:27.315 --> 00:15:30.851
'cause that's the way you could get Deoxys and stuff out of Pokemon.

00:15:30.851 --> 00:15:31.731
Go like that.

00:15:32.148 --> 00:15:34.903
I think the big thing with me with Pokemon Go, and it's not a bad thing.

00:15:35.113 --> 00:15:35.533
Mm-hmm.

00:15:35.533 --> 00:15:35.982
kind of is.

00:15:35.982 --> 00:15:37.033
It's more game design.

00:15:37.283 --> 00:15:37.572
Yeah.

00:15:37.753 --> 00:15:39.972
that Niantic has not done a good job in.

00:15:40.562 --> 00:15:42.302
Enticing the player base to

00:15:42.363 --> 00:15:42.572
No,

00:15:43.472 --> 00:15:44.883
raids again, to

00:15:45.123 --> 00:15:45.393
no,

00:15:45.393 --> 00:15:46.322
the same Pokemon again.

00:15:46.712 --> 00:15:46.952
no.

00:15:46.952 --> 00:15:49.623
And you know, we'll use Deoxys as an example.

00:15:50.052 --> 00:15:56.273
It, I'm not saying that every Pokemon has to be meta relevant, but it just feels like despite how much trading matters in that game.

00:15:56.893 --> 00:16:01.003
there's less meaning behind trying to catch the same raid Pokemon again.

00:16:01.268 --> 00:16:01.618
Right.

00:16:02.023 --> 00:16:09.043
You know, uh, at the time when it was going through the raids, once you had Raikou, there was no point in trying to go after any other electric type afterwards.

00:16:09.452 --> 00:16:09.763
Mm-hmm.

00:16:09.898 --> 00:16:12.447
when you got Groudon, there was no point in going after anything.

00:16:12.447 --> 00:16:13.677
You know, nobody's doing Reggie.

00:16:13.677 --> 00:16:14.758
'cause there was no point to'em.

00:16:14.758 --> 00:16:16.977
Even if the gyms were available, they still wouldn't be useful.

00:16:17.202 --> 00:16:17.802
Right.

00:16:18.028 --> 00:16:22.827
always been a big struggle to my opinion, when it comes to Pokemon Go, where they've just not addressed that.

00:16:22.827 --> 00:16:27.008
Still to this day, and the reason why I say this with Deoxy is'cause Deoxys is a prime example.

00:16:27.302 --> 00:16:28.142
We already had Mewtwo.

00:16:28.951 --> 00:16:29.861
are you gonna go after the Deoxys?

00:16:29.881 --> 00:16:30.152
You know?

00:16:30.455 --> 00:16:31.024
Like you two's

00:16:31.024 --> 00:16:31.294
Yeah.

00:16:31.414 --> 00:16:32.044
the Deoxy.

00:16:32.044 --> 00:16:32.375
Hands

00:16:32.554 --> 00:16:32.855
Oh yeah.

00:16:33.450 --> 00:16:33.815
OO.

00:16:33.815 --> 00:16:37.024
Only reason to go after Deoxys is to get that lime green one.

00:16:37.414 --> 00:16:40.985
But then as more people get it, you have less people to do raids with, you know?

00:16:41.284 --> 00:16:41.495
Yep.

00:16:41.830 --> 00:16:46.419
cause it's like, at least with Mewtwo, it's like, oh, I'm the only one that doesn't have a shiny me two.

00:16:46.750 --> 00:16:51.743
Well, I'll still do raids with you because, uh, wouldn't mind getting another perfect or 98% or whatever

00:17:36.411 --> 00:17:38.240
Now you said you're motivated by big numbers.

00:17:38.526 --> 00:17:40.776
When it came to Pokemon Go, what was your play style?

00:17:40.776 --> 00:17:41.645
Were you a shiny hunter?

00:17:41.645 --> 00:17:42.786
Were you trying a grinder?

00:17:42.786 --> 00:17:43.145
Raider?

00:17:43.145 --> 00:17:44.573
Like How did you enjoy playing the game?

00:17:45.038 --> 00:17:46.522
I, I, I like the sparkles.

00:17:46.972 --> 00:17:48.292
Uh, it's a shiny Pokemon style.

00:17:48.813 --> 00:17:51.955
Yeah, I don't really do a lot of the competitiveness.

00:17:51.955 --> 00:17:56.118
It's a buddy of mine named James, that he gets me more into some of the competitive stuff.

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.348
But for me, it's like I just like the sparkles.

00:17:58.348 --> 00:18:01.199
I, I like the different colored pixels kind of deal.

00:18:01.199 --> 00:18:05.596
So playing Pokemon Go, it's like, okay, nowadays it's like, is it shiny?

00:18:05.655 --> 00:18:06.719
No, I don't care.

00:18:07.018 --> 00:18:07.768
can it be shiny?

00:18:07.768 --> 00:18:08.067
No.

00:18:08.127 --> 00:18:08.548
Okay.

00:18:08.637 --> 00:18:09.117
I don't care.

00:18:09.387 --> 00:18:10.857
I'll catch it for the deck entry.

00:18:10.857 --> 00:18:13.124
Uh, once I have the dent entry, I don't care.

00:18:13.528 --> 00:18:17.608
I know you mentioned how you said you have Pokemon that has a more deeper meaning.

00:18:18.223 --> 00:18:18.493
Mm-hmm.

00:18:18.719 --> 00:18:21.358
off maybe one or two that really stick to your mind?

00:18:21.419 --> 00:18:22.858
You know what the story is behind them?

00:18:23.316 --> 00:18:41.029
I would say two of the Pokemon that are off the top of my head fun stories that I like to tell One, just'cause it's a, personal friend that wasn't a friend at the time, but me and her grew close It was back when all the tech issue, all the service issues and stuff were going, I'm sitting in the back of my work before I have to clock in and I pull up the game.

00:18:41.150 --> 00:18:42.289
I can actually get on the game.

00:18:42.769 --> 00:18:47.906
And Magmar was there, the very first magmar that I'd ever actually been able to see at the time.

00:18:47.906 --> 00:18:53.601
He was actually rare and I caught it and I tell my manager'cause, well she also played Pokemon Go.

00:18:53.961 --> 00:18:55.182
She runs to the.

00:18:55.182 --> 00:19:00.076
front to grab her phone'cause she left it up front, comes back, goes load into the game.

00:19:00.076 --> 00:19:01.605
She cannot get into the game.

00:19:02.145 --> 00:19:04.635
She's trying for like 10, 15 minutes.

00:19:05.086 --> 00:19:08.086
By the time she gets into the game, it's disappeared.

00:19:08.395 --> 00:19:10.598
she never was able to get it kind of deal.

00:19:11.056 --> 00:19:11.483
And it's like.

00:19:11.483 --> 00:19:13.013
she doesn't play Pokemon Go anymore.

00:19:13.013 --> 00:19:14.394
She doesn't play anything anymore.

00:19:14.394 --> 00:19:16.586
'cause unfortunately she actually passed away a year ago.

00:19:16.586 --> 00:19:20.037
at work But it's like I was able to talk to her a lot about Pokemon Go.

00:19:20.037 --> 00:19:23.040
That was like one of the only things we ever got along with originally.

00:19:23.384 --> 00:19:29.614
the other one is, uh, when Rayquaza Shiny was first released, me and my buddy James, we ended up doing.

00:19:29.614 --> 00:19:31.443
16 raids that very first day.

00:19:31.844 --> 00:19:33.834
I didn't get a single shiny Rayquaza.

00:19:34.217 --> 00:19:35.356
He got four of them.

00:19:35.727 --> 00:19:40.376
So he wouldn't tell me how those odds stack up there, kind of damn it.

00:19:40.707 --> 00:19:41.156
right.

00:19:41.757 --> 00:19:44.096
I go to go to work the next day or whatever.

00:19:44.156 --> 00:19:50.871
He, he leaves to go back home and one of my managers at the time then his name was Luke, he takes.

00:19:51.134 --> 00:19:53.094
My account with him on his tablet.

00:19:53.094 --> 00:19:59.681
cause between my account, his account and his girlfriend, we can take on every fucking legendary that's in the game.

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:01.631
Ever been in the game kind of deal.

00:20:01.901 --> 00:20:06.926
Very first Rayquaza, shiny on the tablet that had my account on there.

00:20:07.106 --> 00:20:07.916
Really?

00:20:08.007 --> 00:20:08.277
Yeah.

00:20:08.366 --> 00:20:13.060
So I got a shiny Rayquaza, but I didn't even get to see it on my screen pretty much.

00:20:13.601 --> 00:20:13.820
Oh,

00:20:14.951 --> 00:20:16.211
It's like, yay.

00:20:16.625 --> 00:20:17.855
I don't know how to feel about this.

00:20:17.855 --> 00:20:19.506
Like it happened, but I'm not present.

00:20:19.641 --> 00:20:19.971
Right.

00:20:20.421 --> 00:20:21.740
Think oh my God, I gotta shine.

00:20:21.891 --> 00:20:23.480
By the way, how many are in your party?

00:20:23.510 --> 00:20:24.800
'cause I'm at work right now.

00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:25.221
Mm-hmm.

00:20:25.866 --> 00:20:26.106
That's

00:20:26.332 --> 00:20:26.622
Okay.

00:20:26.797 --> 00:20:27.576
what little Pokemon goes.

00:20:27.576 --> 00:20:28.987
You got stories like these that happen,

00:20:29.076 --> 00:20:29.467
Yeah.

00:20:29.676 --> 00:20:33.067
it's a little different compared to the main series if that, for those who know.

00:20:33.906 --> 00:20:34.777
Oh yeah, for sure.

00:20:35.116 --> 00:20:38.176
and honestly, it's because of shiny hunting and Pokemon Go.

00:20:38.176 --> 00:20:42.054
My buddy James, like, why the fuck don't you just do it in the main series games?

00:20:42.364 --> 00:20:45.364
At the time I never actually shiny hunted in the main series games.

00:20:45.364 --> 00:20:47.906
I just finished the game, collected all the Pokemon.

00:20:47.936 --> 00:20:50.584
Okay, I've finished the pokedex time to put the game aside.

00:20:50.886 --> 00:20:52.747
And he pretty much challenged me to do that.

00:20:52.747 --> 00:20:54.037
And it's like, all right, well fine.

00:20:54.277 --> 00:20:55.116
I'll do that then

00:20:55.612 --> 00:20:56.092
Wow.

00:20:56.092 --> 00:20:58.372
So Pokemon Go kind of your gateway into shiny hunting.

00:20:58.836 --> 00:20:59.707
in anyway.

00:20:59.707 --> 00:21:05.797
And he is also the get gateway into me doing any kind of NZ locks and shenanigans like that we've done.

00:21:05.797 --> 00:21:09.307
So links, we've done rival locks, all sorts of stuff.

00:21:09.760 --> 00:21:11.671
So when it came from Gen five onward,

00:21:11.726 --> 00:21:12.145
Mm-hmm.

00:21:12.330 --> 00:21:14.730
was your favorite generations about those games?

00:21:15.134 --> 00:21:30.044
I would say I really enjoyed X and y I, I was saying we did, I did rival locks and various stuff there's a couple of times that we were, me and a buddy did a rival lock in a cage lock And the one thing I enjoy about NEX is it gives you an appreciation for certain Pokemon that you.

00:21:30.044 --> 00:21:37.237
Probably I would never actually think about using and,'cause it's a Nuzlocke, I was forced to use some of the Pokemon I wouldn't use'cause.

00:21:37.626 --> 00:21:38.951
Well, Pidgey was Gen one.

00:21:38.951 --> 00:21:39.851
We're in gen six.

00:21:39.851 --> 00:21:45.067
I'm not technically gonna use it, but in the Nuzlocke, that happened to be my first Pokemon to catch.

00:21:45.067 --> 00:21:45.307
Well.

00:21:45.336 --> 00:21:46.777
So it's gonna be on my team.

00:21:47.037 --> 00:21:54.836
It did surprisingly well until I lost a rival battle and my buddy stole it'cause he needed a flying type and then he killed it.

00:21:55.277 --> 00:22:01.196
I, uh, he, he gives me shit because, uh, I lost three starters during, that run as well.

00:22:01.461 --> 00:22:08.436
I lost the, Fennekin, I lost, the Ivysaur, and then I stole his Greninja, ended up killing getting that killed.

00:22:08.842 --> 00:22:15.501
I was gonna say, I find it funny that Pidgey come full circle to where your first only Pokemon in Gen one and now it's your one that's using those locks, you know?

00:22:15.727 --> 00:22:15.787
Oh

00:22:15.896 --> 00:22:17.182
Oh, oh yeah, for sure.

00:22:17.624 --> 00:22:20.740
What do you enjoy about Nuzlocke's compared to maybe just playing a game regularly?

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:22.721
What appeals to you about that I part of the game?

00:22:23.021 --> 00:22:27.729
honestly, it actually makes me do the competitive stuff that I normally wouldn't.

00:22:28.028 --> 00:22:30.189
And then using Pokemon that I normally wouldn't.

00:22:30.189 --> 00:22:36.405
'cause let's be fair, I grabbed my usual six, my six people from my team, and that's gonna be my team for the entire fucking game.

00:22:36.665 --> 00:22:38.836
I probably got'em from the first three areas.

00:22:38.836 --> 00:22:42.862
So in a way, it's forcing me to use some of the later route Pokemon two.

00:22:43.304 --> 00:22:46.453
And then when you were playing Pokemon X and Y, what'd you think about the story and everything?

00:22:47.088 --> 00:22:53.624
I, I honestly really enjoyed the story and know I wish it had more of a post game besides just the looker quest.

00:22:53.931 --> 00:22:55.676
But, you know, I guess that's what we now have.

00:22:55.676 --> 00:22:56.307
Legends ZA for,

00:22:57.371 --> 00:22:59.500
when it came to, you know, shiny hunting, you know,

00:22:59.516 --> 00:22:59.935
Mm-hmm.

00:23:00.070 --> 00:23:01.990
you were first introduced through Pokemon Go.

00:23:02.738 --> 00:23:05.948
What was your first experience bringing it to the main series games?

00:23:05.948 --> 00:23:09.847
Because at that time we have Pokemon Sun and Moon, ultra Sun and Moon out, I think at that point.

00:23:10.210 --> 00:23:10.660
Yeah.

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:16.066
the first time I actually shiny hunted in the main series was, with Sword and Shield kind of deal.

00:23:16.066 --> 00:23:23.826
And, I of course started with the starters that I did Sobble first, and it took me a while to get the Sobble.

00:23:23.826 --> 00:23:28.019
I can't tell you the encounter numbers'cause I didn't really keep track at the time like that.

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.952
But also I wouldn't hunt them every day.

00:23:30.952 --> 00:23:31.222
There was.

00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:34.798
At the times, it was a lot of, if I'm off okay, I'll shiny hunt.

00:23:35.038 --> 00:23:43.567
If I had to work the morning, I might shiny hunt at night and I might just be like, I don't feel like doing anything and just laying in my bed watching Twitch.

00:23:43.891 --> 00:23:51.337
So a lot of those shiny hunts took a while simply because it was, uh, I don't feel like doing anything today.

00:23:51.665 --> 00:23:52.806
it was just a way to pass the time.

00:23:53.090 --> 00:23:53.480
Yeah.

00:23:53.746 --> 00:23:57.740
it's like now that streaming, it's like it keeps me engaged in doing it.

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:59.980
That it's like, okay, we're gonna go live, we're gonna shine out.

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.079
Doesn't matter that I worked all day.

00:24:02.373 --> 00:24:04.413
That's gonna be the chill down kind of deal.

00:24:04.712 --> 00:24:06.153
We can talk with friends while doing it.

00:24:06.590 --> 00:24:07.280
That's so wholesome.

00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:10.490
So you really value, you know, being able to stream to your friends and

00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:10.941
Mm-hmm.

00:24:11.211 --> 00:24:12.800
through Twitch by shiny hunting,

00:24:13.115 --> 00:24:13.596
Oh yeah.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.050
Yeah, I've got about 669 shinies in my shiny living deck.

00:24:18.171 --> 00:24:24.111
If I didn't go live for the first time a couple years back, I probably would be sitting at maybe 200 if that.

00:24:24.605 --> 00:24:26.076
What made you want to go live on Twitch?

00:24:26.076 --> 00:24:27.096
Like what started that journey?

00:24:27.096 --> 00:24:27.125
I.

00:24:27.560 --> 00:24:37.085
I mean, getting the shinies that I had and talking with like my manager and some of my friends, I found it honestly is easier to show a clip and have that memory.

00:24:37.549 --> 00:24:40.630
To be like, look at this cool picture of this differently colored Pokemon.

00:24:40.935 --> 00:24:45.823
Like, instead it's like, I have this clip and you can see me mess up words and mess up stuff.

00:24:45.823 --> 00:24:53.343
But look, we got the shiny, I think one of my favorite clips and I like to jokingly say this, it was a droopy formed Dini, right?

00:24:53.603 --> 00:24:54.022
Mm-hmm.

00:24:54.512 --> 00:24:55.720
as it the shiny droop.

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.519
Drapey hatched in 12 eggs.

00:24:57.823 --> 00:24:59.803
I didn't say, holy crap, shiny drapey.

00:24:59.863 --> 00:25:00.853
I said Dratini.

00:25:01.250 --> 00:25:03.289
So you mixed your words up because you were just so excited

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.500
yeah, yeah.

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:05.490
Words got mixed up.

00:25:05.494 --> 00:25:07.980
They, they get mixed up a hell of a lot.

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:09.694
On stream words are hard.

00:25:10.022 --> 00:25:12.423
you know, it's so interesting you say that'cause it's basically.

00:25:13.157 --> 00:25:15.528
evolution of a way of how we used to share photos,

00:25:15.778 --> 00:25:15.998
Mm.

00:25:16.097 --> 00:25:21.258
I used to share Twitch Stream and that's such'cause I've always compared Twitch to like going to the bar.

00:25:21.258 --> 00:25:22.022
It's like our Mm.

00:25:22.248 --> 00:25:23.688
going to the bar Mm-hmm.

00:25:23.688 --> 00:25:30.258
a perfect, now that's such a perfect image of what Twitch can do when you just live stream, even when you're not doing it to like be famous or anything like that,

00:25:30.488 --> 00:25:30.867
Oh, yeah.

00:25:31.188 --> 00:25:31.817
reasons.

00:25:32.178 --> 00:25:32.837
It's great.

00:25:33.167 --> 00:25:33.548
Oh yeah.

00:25:33.553 --> 00:25:36.603
I, I, I enjoy the casualness of it.

00:25:36.813 --> 00:25:38.633
Like I'm just sitting there talking with friends.

00:25:39.022 --> 00:25:43.823
Shiny hunting co in background, and I think that's also why I enjoy doing Masuda method more.

00:25:43.823 --> 00:25:49.363
Is I can just focus on reading chat and talking with chat and stuff and that it's just somewhat in the background.

00:25:49.712 --> 00:25:55.913
If I'm doing sandwich hunts and encounters like that in Scarlet and violet in the over world, I gotta can pay attention.

00:25:56.123 --> 00:25:59.242
'cause there's no sound to say, bitch, there's a shiny right here.

00:25:59.573 --> 00:26:01.423
Catch it like in Legends Arceus.

00:26:01.911 --> 00:26:07.443
When it it comes to, shiny hunting, you know, that's something that you're very interested in and you know what you like to do.

00:26:07.751 --> 00:26:12.162
what's your favorite way to try to get shiny Pokemon when it comes to Pokemon Main series specifically?

00:26:12.567 --> 00:26:18.151
Main series specifically, I enjoyed Masuda method the most, again, the chill vibes of it.

00:26:18.452 --> 00:26:23.375
Secondly, I, I enjoyed das, but I'm also one, it's like if I don't have anyone.

00:26:23.375 --> 00:26:24.605
Doing das with me.

00:26:24.664 --> 00:26:28.478
I don't want to do'em cause I'd much rather, play with friends kind of deal.

00:26:28.728 --> 00:26:40.438
And then I would say just the random encounters of like sword shielding, the pass games I never really did hoards and stuff, cause again, I didn't really shiny hunt in those past games and I can't stream it.

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:54.320
I did a friend Safari hunt once and stuff offline, and I enjoyed that and I think, I really missed the mass outbreak reset method from Legends Arceus before they did the massive mass outbreaks thing and just completely fucked up that method.

00:26:54.655 --> 00:26:58.615
Those are pretty much the methods that I, I just enjoy, uh, soft three sets.

00:26:58.952 --> 00:27:00.813
can I not do those, please?

00:27:00.873 --> 00:27:02.103
you don't like doing the software sets at

00:27:02.282 --> 00:27:04.712
Oh, it's so boring.

00:27:06.269 --> 00:27:06.720
Okay.

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:11.009
Which is weird to say, considering I do Masuda Method and people think that's boring.

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:14.359
What is so different about Masuda method compared to resetting?

00:27:14.430 --> 00:27:15.119
Open, close.

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:15.750
Open, close.

00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:16.410
Open, close.

00:27:16.410 --> 00:27:17.069
Open, close.

00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:17.759
Open, close.

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.509
Open, close.

00:27:18.704 --> 00:27:23.484
Okay, so you feel like you, because you're making movement through the Masuda Method,'cause you have to hatch the eggs and all that, you

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:25.299
Mm-hmm.

00:27:25.615 --> 00:27:26.214
compared to

00:27:26.255 --> 00:27:26.545
Yeah.

00:27:26.575 --> 00:27:26.904
software

00:27:27.045 --> 00:27:27.464
Mm-hmm.

00:27:27.954 --> 00:27:28.585
I could see that.

00:27:28.971 --> 00:27:30.651
I think y'all are both crazy, but I can see that.

00:27:30.651 --> 00:27:32.661
I mean, I'm not

00:27:32.766 --> 00:27:34.986
And it's not to say I won't do any soft resets.

00:27:34.986 --> 00:27:37.326
I gotta get fricking Shiny Arceus at some point.

00:27:37.615 --> 00:27:38.214
Some point,

00:27:38.474 --> 00:27:39.615
Some point eventually.

00:27:40.275 --> 00:27:43.634
if you guys do Pokemon Go, would you still try to hunt in the main Sears games or would you.

00:27:43.845 --> 00:27:44.474
Fuck no.

00:27:44.806 --> 00:27:45.405
really?

00:27:45.405 --> 00:27:45.826
Okay.

00:27:46.756 --> 00:27:49.185
goes your little, you're hoping it eventually comes through at

00:27:49.201 --> 00:27:49.651
Yeah, right.

00:27:49.695 --> 00:27:50.145
Okay.

00:27:50.490 --> 00:27:52.740
I use Pokemon Go for Legendaries and Mythical.

00:27:52.861 --> 00:27:53.250
That's it.

00:27:53.250 --> 00:27:54.330
If it, if that.

00:27:54.330 --> 00:27:54.480
But

00:27:55.816 --> 00:27:56.415
Oh, wow.

00:27:56.415 --> 00:27:56.715
That's true.

00:27:56.730 --> 00:28:01.020
other than that, everything in the living deck came from main series games.

00:28:01.476 --> 00:28:02.945
So you value both of them equally?

00:28:03.244 --> 00:28:03.615
Yeah.

00:28:03.615 --> 00:28:05.204
If it's legendary in Pokemon One, go, yeah.

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.029
Sure, sure.

00:28:06.029 --> 00:28:06.240
Yeah.

00:28:06.390 --> 00:28:09.329
Oh, so you don't, not if it's a common Pokemon, like say a Bulbo or a

00:28:09.525 --> 00:28:09.855
Nah,

00:28:09.990 --> 00:28:10.500
Charmander.

00:28:10.529 --> 00:28:10.769
Okay.

00:28:11.115 --> 00:28:11.894
I can find those.

00:28:11.894 --> 00:28:16.089
In the main series, the, the legendary are the ones that are always more annoying, shiny hunt.

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:16.871
I don't know.

00:28:18.760 --> 00:28:24.250
It's funny, I should talk soft resets, but I got a shiny buzz wall and very quick resets in Ultra Sun, ultra Moon.

00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:25.309
Oh man.

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:28.069
It's uh, Pokemon trying to entice you to do soft resets.

00:28:28.130 --> 00:28:28.569
I know, right?

00:28:28.769 --> 00:28:29.170
I think so.

00:28:30.450 --> 00:28:31.355
I don't wanna

00:28:32.015 --> 00:28:34.144
You don't wanna, no, this is not, that's not part of your life.

00:28:34.414 --> 00:28:34.954
No, no.

00:28:35.015 --> 00:28:37.325
I'll, I'll, I'll get the Legendaries and das.

00:28:37.775 --> 00:28:44.525
When it comes to just Pokemon, you know, we recently just had, you know, Scarlet and Violet and we're going into Pokemon Zi into the next generation of Pokemon.

00:28:44.914 --> 00:28:49.174
What's something that you look forward to when it comes to this main series as we continue to progress?

00:28:49.174 --> 00:28:51.365
Like what keeps you engaged with Pokemon nowadays?

00:28:51.724 --> 00:28:51.994
All right.

00:28:52.085 --> 00:29:17.420
I honestly seeing all the method, new methods to shiny hunt, seeing the new Pokemon I said a few days ago when talking with a buddy of mine, Like if they add new Pokemon and legend ca, there's probably gonna be somebody that evolves through the real time battles stuff they're gonna add some kind of new feature in Gen 10 and something's gonna evolve because of it And everybody's gonna probably complain and think it's a stupid evolution method.

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:20.425
But you know, they gotta have some way to also.

00:29:20.674 --> 00:29:22.174
Promote their new feature.

00:29:22.617 --> 00:29:24.208
I mean, here's the real question

00:29:24.313 --> 00:29:24.732
Mm-hmm.

00:29:25.498 --> 00:29:28.258
What are we gonna call the Pokemon come out for Pokemon Zi?

00:29:28.258 --> 00:29:29.758
Are we gonna call him Kalo?

00:29:29.758 --> 00:29:30.147
Kasian?

00:29:30.208 --> 00:29:31.827
Are we gonna call him Zian?

00:29:31.887 --> 00:29:32.307
Like

00:29:32.758 --> 00:29:33.117
That's,

00:29:33.298 --> 00:29:34.167
name that we're gonna call him?

00:29:34.167 --> 00:29:34.407
You know?

00:29:34.678 --> 00:29:36.627
I mean, if, if it's regional variance.

00:29:36.633 --> 00:29:38.877
Yeah, that's a good question kind of deal.

00:29:38.883 --> 00:29:42.718
Would, would they just be loop mostly forms, Kian forms or what?

00:29:43.025 --> 00:29:51.035
And then if there's other new Pokemon like evolutions of old, Pokemon kind of deal, it's like, then the question is, okay, why weren't they in X and Y?

00:29:51.424 --> 00:29:53.285
How did we now discover them?

00:29:53.587 --> 00:29:56.708
And then where the pokedex is gonna look hella weird.

00:29:57.056 --> 00:29:59.875
My last question, just in regards to Twitch streaming, what do you hope to do with it?

00:29:59.875 --> 00:30:01.286
Is this something you wanna do casually?

00:30:01.286 --> 00:30:03.266
Do you want to eventually try to make it something bigger?

00:30:03.266 --> 00:30:03.715
Like

00:30:03.921 --> 00:30:04.615
I mean, if it.

00:30:05.155 --> 00:30:06.925
If it gets bigger, cool.

00:30:07.046 --> 00:30:11.875
But if it stays casual, casual like this, I'm perfectly okay with that.

00:30:12.113 --> 00:30:19.363
I've always thought that like, you know, if I get big and I don't really have to have my actual restaurant job and stuff, and Twitch pays my bills, cool.

00:30:19.663 --> 00:30:25.002
at the same time, I'm gonna miss being able to always be able to see, chat and converse with my friends.

00:30:25.317 --> 00:30:36.557
I'm gonna get very bored at my house and not of not leaving to go to work or do something, then I'm gonna have to find some reason to leave my fucking house to just get out.

00:30:37.157 --> 00:30:39.288
You can go hunt shiny equation in Pokemon Go.

00:30:39.468 --> 00:30:40.488
Oh, oh yeah, totally.

00:30:41.178 --> 00:30:49.230
And, and it's like, I, I remember like I was shining hunting during covid and stuff and I was messaging a buddy, my buddy of mine that.

00:30:49.770 --> 00:30:56.874
Manager and stuff that got me that shiny reia he had messaged back like, oh my God, you're doing such, doing a lot, instead of getting a lot of shinies.

00:30:57.233 --> 00:31:00.983
And the only thing I could message him was, what the fuck else am I supposed to do?

00:31:02.288 --> 00:31:04.238
They shut my location down.

00:31:04.607 --> 00:31:06.347
I go home, I do nothing.

00:31:06.347 --> 00:31:07.577
Now I'm stuck at home.

00:31:07.788 --> 00:31:09.407
I don't have a manager job tour.

00:31:09.407 --> 00:31:12.587
They're like, well, since your location's shut down, we're gonna move you over here.

00:31:12.587 --> 00:31:14.417
And you help out at that location.

00:31:14.827 --> 00:31:19.548
sounds like you value Twitch for more so the community aspect, which, you know, you alluded

00:31:19.577 --> 00:31:19.847
Yeah.

00:31:20.633 --> 00:31:21.053
Mm-hmm.

00:31:21.137 --> 00:31:25.157
the connection, be able to keep up with the people with the Pokemon community in that way.

00:31:25.222 --> 00:31:25.643
Mm-hmm.

00:31:25.938 --> 00:31:27.738
I mean, at least I'm, I applaud you.

00:31:27.738 --> 00:31:29.147
At least you recognize it's a hobby.

00:31:29.448 --> 00:31:30.048
You know, some people,

00:31:30.077 --> 00:31:30.438
Yeah.

00:31:30.528 --> 00:31:33.347
they kind of blur the hobby and they try to be professional kind of line,

00:31:33.587 --> 00:31:33.857
Mm-hmm.

00:31:33.903 --> 00:31:40.381
really know that, hey, this is something I just enjoy doing, that I can talk with people who also stream, who

00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:40.770
Yeah.

00:31:40.861 --> 00:31:43.080
Pokemon and, you know, branch out that way.

00:31:43.415 --> 00:31:43.955
Oh, for sure.

00:31:44.530 --> 00:31:47.647
BunearyQueenAlexis, I want to finish the interview on this last question.

00:31:47.647 --> 00:31:48.307
It's gonna be a fun one.

00:31:48.307 --> 00:31:48.637
Okay.

00:31:48.928 --> 00:31:54.057
I want you to give me a team of six shiny Pokemon you would have on your dream team.

00:31:54.498 --> 00:31:54.978
Let's see.

00:31:54.978 --> 00:31:56.377
We're gonna go with Azumarill.

00:31:56.688 --> 00:32:00.528
we're gonna go with, Lopunny just because it ends up evolving at some point.

00:32:01.383 --> 00:32:01.532
Are you

00:32:01.548 --> 00:32:01.968
'cause I love

00:32:02.163 --> 00:32:02.373
mega

00:32:02.478 --> 00:32:05.546
much and it evolves by friendship Cinderace.

00:32:05.945 --> 00:32:10.746
Diggersby go with Obstagoon and, Roaring Moon.

00:32:11.138 --> 00:32:11.949
Oh, okay.

00:32:11.949 --> 00:32:13.449
We got a paradox Pokemon in there.

00:32:13.749 --> 00:32:14.048
Yes.

00:32:15.193 --> 00:32:19.732
It was annoying as fuck to shiny hunt, but I got it.

00:32:20.058 --> 00:32:21.439
Wait till those come to Pokemon Go, man.

00:32:21.439 --> 00:32:21.648
People are

00:32:21.679 --> 00:32:22.548
Oh my God.

00:32:23.028 --> 00:32:26.358
Oh, I, I, I'll, I'll waste some, uh, some money on that.

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.513
Oh, I will too.

00:32:27.513 --> 00:32:29.044
I'm actually excited for when that does happen.

00:32:29.104 --> 00:32:29.523
Mm-hmm.

00:32:29.884 --> 00:32:32.480
BunearyQueenAlexis, thank you for coming on As The Pokeball turns.

00:32:32.631 --> 00:32:34.221
before you go, people wanna check out your stream.

00:32:34.221 --> 00:32:35.901
If they wanna connect with you, where can they go?

00:32:35.901 --> 00:32:37.010
By all means, please plug away.

00:32:37.536 --> 00:32:48.601
on Torch's BunearyQueenAlexis, I, I'm pretty much live Almost every day, but Wednesday at 6:00 PM Central time, we do Pokemon shiny hunting each of those days except for Thursdays.

00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:53.651
Thursdays, I usually, uh, do A-J-R-P-G game and stuff instead of Pokemon.

00:32:53.651 --> 00:33:00.161
It's just my way of playing something other than Pokemon, getting my mind off Pokemon onto something else kind of deal.

00:33:00.490 --> 00:33:07.688
And then Saturdays we only do P one for like a couple hours and then do a social deduction game with a buddy of mine, which I also paid a test for.

00:33:07.688 --> 00:33:08.438
So it's very fun.
