 To another Tuesday livestream. I do have the game set up. I can actually hear the audio this week I'm just checking my text messages here Anyways, how you guys doing tonight you guys having a lovely night. We're playing some Pokemon Brilliant Diamond shiny pearl I got it all set up here. I will switch over to it in a moment But first I wanted to do my normal say hi to everyone in the chat again Here's what's happening today ever today and every Tuesday until it's done I will be playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. I I already played it once be playing it again this Tuesday and every Tuesday until we beat the main story of the game So I'm not trying to get like all the shinies or catch all the Pokemon and do every little thing in the game I am just trying to beat the main story of the game. Now. I have not beat a Pokemon game In probably 20 years. I have not a big fan of Pokemon I'm not really big into Pokemon I was when I was a kid for the first couple generations and then I really kind of fell off a map for me and ended up not being That fun so My first stream around it really wasn't that enjoyable Personally we did get through our first gym leader every gym leader we beat is a giveaway live on stream Also, when we get to apparently there's an elite four I didn't even know there was an elite four But if there is every person we beat in the elite four will also be a giveaway Now I don't know how many if any gym leaders we beat tonight will see but this is gonna be happening number Tuesday We're the foreseeable future until we're done with this game And then we'll finally get into some other games as well Who knows this might even lead us all the way up into Pokemon legends Arceus, which I am planning to play So yeah Playing with joy con here. I think the connection issues with them are fixed this time around So we shouldn't have an issue with that and I can hear here because I do have the game Going to a TV that's behind my camera and my studio light and if I keep looking at the TV I'm going to get blinded because my studio light is there But I do have my remote so I can actually hear the game this time unlike last time when I really Literally couldn't hear the game. I played I sat in this room in silence for hours playing Pokemon It was kind of weird. So now I can So yeah reminder is always on all of my live streams that are at night That every super chat and donation leads to shots the more expensive the super chat the bigger the shot I'm not really going to get too much into it. Please drink responsibly Please be of age if you are gonna partake with me pretty much everything under $10 is going to be like a shot of beer I know right not that big of a deal, but once you hit 10 bucks. We got the strawberry Malibu At 20 is a shot of straight vodka. I think we got one or two shots left of that at 25 plus That's when we bust out the butterscotch 99 proof 49 and a half percent alcohol decor and then for any hundos that happen We have Don Julio somewhere. I probably hit it on myself after no, it's in the mini fridge I'll grab a quick. We got a bottle of a Don Julio here. Now. It's chilled But yeah, that's a hundred dollars because as people saw last time I did one yesterday It ends up being Doesn't sit well with me and gets me pretty drunk so Please drink responsibly and all that I do have my water as always right here I Put a little flavoring in it today But uh, yeah, let's play some Pokemon shall we actually first thing I want to do is shout out everyone who's here in the chat Once we do that. I want to show you guys one thing and then we'll get right into playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl So let's see here. Hello. Javier Arrolano.

Let's worry about it. We'll worry about it when we get to the part I've got Colin Tharp is here Um Yeah, how's it going guys? Haces Calderon as well. You guys are doing awesome tonight.

We're gonna be live streaming the whole event We have a couple special giveaways going on during that event Eric's gonna be here. It's gonna be a lot of fun But yeah, we got some stuff going on. So the game awards sent me some stuff They sent me two things each. So this is like the game awards like special streamer invites Thanks so much Uh, I'm reading the backers says thanks so much for signing up to be an official co-streamer of the game awards Seven years ago back in 2014 I created the game awards as a way to celebrate our shared passion for video games this year on thursday december 9th We will recognize the year's best games and give you a spectacular preview of where games are going in 2022 and beyond Please accept this limited edition Co-streamer credential as a special. Thank you for sharing the show with your audience I look forward to seeing you live on thursday december 9th. The pre show begins at 7 30 p.m. Eastern at the game awards.com all the best and then signed by jeff kealy So, yeah got got this special thing. We got two of these and yeah a badge kind of like you're going to e3 You get a badge. Um, although this this badge doesn't break as easily. Oh, yes, you have the game awards badge Um, and this little thing is supposed to be scanned the stream. Um, which honestly, um I find the qr code on this to be quite interesting because Obviously i'm a co-streamer, so i'm streaming it scanning the qr code on my phone And watching the stream there doesn't help me But maybe i'm supposed to like hold it up so like you guys can do it I have no idea. It doesn't really matter because why would I want you to leave our stream? So anyways, yeah, so we got kind of like a pass here But i'm obviously not going to the actual game awards, which is at the microsoft theater In la which i have been to by the way I've been there for e3 because microsoft hosts their e3 stuff All right Shall we get started and of course this controller is dirty for my kids Those bastards whatever nothing i can do about it now. Let's Get it going So one thing i don't know right now, um Which uh, i'm gonna adjust this quick um Move this over so i'm I'm actually more in frame One thing that i i don't know is down here. This is where eric's camera would be I'm trying to put the alerts down there, but i can't do it without an alert popping up Uh, so it's kind of like one of those i have the alert things here ready to move around But until we get like donations and stuff i have literally no idea where the alert pops up to move it so All right enough excuses. Let's get going in the game. Shall we? 2021 pokemon The the my the my right controller disconnect again. I know this is fully charged by the way This is a fully charged controller But it was sitting there for a while It's a but i am Oh my gosh, are we gonna have that a button issue again? It doesn't really matter because i use the left trigger Yeah, it just keeps disconnected. See i don't know if there's something wrong with my right joy card The switch is not that far away. It's like four feet away. I moved it even closer Anyways, uh, last i checked we beat this gym leader. So that was kind of our our coup de graf Um, i'm gonna kind of watch under like keep looking up at the tv Uh, which is probably not a smart idea. Let's go. I heal up our pokeman. We gotta heal up our pokeman um 100 uh, so bastion willhelm says hundred dollars for the don julio sounds like a bit much so That's fine. Don't donate a hundred bucks. Um, the reason it's that much I it used to be much cheaper. I used to do like, I don't know 50 dollar ones and then even before that I did Uh god 100 uh, no, no, I did like 25 dollars for it before the problem is uh tequila messes me up and it's so gross For me So like it it's so mess it up for me that the whole reason that it's at 100 dollars is so I don't do it every Live stream or don't do several of them every live stream See when you make it 25 and people realize that oh my gosh, it gets them really effed up and he doesn't like it You'll suddenly get you know four or five 25 dollar donations Something i'm doing four or five out of those tequila shots and i'm on all fours barking underneath the table Um, so like that's not fun for me Uh, as much fun as it might be for everyone else to hear me like, you know, woof woof Um, it's it's just not fun for me. So that's why it's so expensive because it messes me up so much I have to watch out for myself be above all else So it's kind of like a reward like if someone wants to donate that much cool But obviously I hope when people do super chat stuff, it's not necessarily because they want me to do shots It's because they want to support and the shots are just kind of a bonus But you know Again, this thing keeps disconnecting which there's no problem with it. This is fully charged One of these weeks i'll just put on i'll just use a pro controller My pro control is broken right now, which is why i'm not um, all right Oh dang it I didn't mean to do it again. Oh well Problem is my controller keeps disconnected. All right I'm I'm actually getting kind of frustrated about this So i'm going to do something that I didn't think I was going to do Uh, give me one second guys. I would be right back I am going to grab a controller that I didn't want to use But too bad. I don't know if this controller is charged. So I got the cable here for it. I can just plug it into the laptop um Let's go switch controllers here. Um, and I think I got to find controller first Yes, I thought this thing's dead. That's okay. We we got that's why we got the cord here So i'm gonna plug this in and then i'll sync it quick This is the power a fusion controller. I don't use very often Um, do I have a nope my free usb slot is over here then Can you guys hear me? Is my audio working? I hope my audio is working I'm just tired of dealing with the fact this thing keeps disconnecting out I don't understand it makes no sense Um, it must be a uh, I gotta take apart that joy con and see what's going on I think the something's messed up with the antenna in it Might have to throw a little warranty claim at it Or I could just fix it myself, but Whatever this cord somehow got all tangled up this might never be an open before so that's Lovely it's a really long cable It's literally brand new. So Never been used ever ever So these are the ones that have like those swappable face plates and stuff like you can pop up face blades Anyways, I've never used this one this particular one. All right charging Can I get at the sink? I see I know it's plugged into my computer So part of me is worried that it's going to just connect to my computer and I won't get it to connect to this all right, um All right, we don't need that we need to do pairing new uh view other pairing methods. All right, there it is Come on Okay. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Sorry. I have a pair to you gotta do this thing Come on. I know you're disconnecting on me All right, come on pair There it is All right. Goodbye joy con. Goodbye joy con Goodbye. It was nice knowing you now. Let's play pokemon without any button issues now Audio sounds great cool. Is this working as well? Hold on. I gotta see something there Um, I know the switch sounds coming through. All right. Is this working? Yeah, yeah, okay. The party mode's working Party mode's working. I had to make sure my voice mod stuff was working. All right We got it. We got it. Thank you for restoring pokemon to full health We'll see you again. All right, we're all good. Oh, yeah, this feels much much better. All right So where do we go from here? What's the next town? I'm trying to remember how to open my map Excellent Found me. All right. So this is the first place. I'm assuming we go North you go to Eterna city next I'm asking the chat. I don't care about like, oh my gosh figure on your own. I don't care about that We're trying to beat the game here Uh, so do we go to Eterna city next or Do we go this way? Go over to Hawthorne city Which word do we go to next? Or am I just completely off base? Which which city do we go to each city? Do we go to Eterna? That's next. So we go north. All right I thought I thought we going yeah. All right, let's go Remember I've never played the original game So this is this is like a brand new game That's good. The guy has a bike. I don't have a bike All right Geodude, I don't think I wait I have a geodude, don't I? Pretty sure I have a geodude. I don't even remember my team I have a geodude, right? Yeah. All right.

I got challenged by lass How's it going lass? What's up the doof? As if I haven't seen a bunch of you by now Monferno about to wreck your face Goodbye Nice knowing you I shouldn't have battled in the first place. You're the one just standing around doing nothing twiddling your thumbs in the middle of nowhere Don't blame me my day. I gave me some Pokemon. They're gonna win for me And it halo infinite it's pretty good the multiplayer. Obviously, I don't know about the campaign because I don't Oh, it's a magic car. It's gonna splash me Oh, no, I'm gonna get splashed From what I remember. All right. We'll put we'll put out our own. Uh, let's see I don't even know who I like. You know shinks have some electric stuff. Let's go with shinks Come on shinks. Nice splash, bro. Nice splash, bro Goodbye Your dad gave you a magic car. Now when it evolves in the Gyarados, then it's badass, but until then that's not a good Pokemon No, we'll keep we'll keep you A couple level fives, huh? Well, let's just say I am massively out level Shinks is bae one of your faves. Shinks is all right so far So I can tell you right now look into my party zubat's not going to be part of my my main party Geodude's not going to be part of my main party and bedouf probably won't be either So those three are probably going to replace starly too. I I think right now shinks Shinks might stay as part of my main party like I'm pretty sure shinks is going to stay in my main party Well, we'll see we'll see what I capture along the way and if I if I change my mind, you know That's the thing. I could easily change my mind and then go with someone else lots of grinding Go that kid. Yeah, dude I mean, especially when especially since you got a level magic art to the point. What level does Gyarados happen at? I don't remember I don't remember what level Gyarados level that 20. Yeah, I mean It's like you just slap magic art in your party and just let it get you know xd on the side Um, sure. Goodbye Nice knowing you get a little bud budu. Goodbye. Last last Samantha. Oh You're so strong. I'll work out You want kid? No, I got that the science a ravaged No big D. No big D Octoom hold on to that TM for a bit Back in the day I used to hold on to the TM's and HM's until I absolutely wanted or needed to use them Hey, finally, we got a random cutter And I one shot you He's excited to play the new war zone map I'm not really big into war zone. I mean, I probably would be if I actually sat down to play it But right now the idea of playing anything activation blizzard just isn't sitting well with me Now I am interested in playing that new um season of fortnight with a brand new map The daily bugle and all that that that does interest me See, I enjoy fortnights. I'm just not a big fan of of of geodude and his evolution Not even like back in the original pokemon was a huge fan of it. So that's why I know I'm replacing them in my party I'll have some other rock type or Fighting type or something. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what I build my party around I honestly have no idea because I don't know anything about the pokemon in this game I know fortnights from epic Are you acting like I I'm not supposed to know that epic makes that game? You avoided it You did one damage to me. That's it That's it. You shouldn't have did it. You shouldn't have did one damage to me You shouldn't have I warned you true. I warned you. You did one damage to me. You're done I mean my my guys are so out level for the people in this area right now before they're winning Later, Brian. See you. Have a good night, man.

I mean he's a bug Crick pot. I guess he kind of looks like a beetle Tyler writes, why are people so obsessed with fortnite? It's just another Why do people like playing halo? Why do people like playing warzone? Why do people like playing pokemon? Why do people like playing zelda? Why do people like playing mario? Mario is just another platformer zelda is just another adventure game pokemon is just another pokemon another rpg game like Why do people like playing anything? It's not an obsession People just enjoy what they enjoy and it's okay to enjoy what you enjoy, you know Like my kids right now. They really like roblox a lot. That's like their favorite game So Not like I sit here and play a ton of fortnite, but I am interested in playing that But if I wasn't doing pokemon tonight, I'd probably be playing fortnite and switch just to play it Not now 392 for winning flower ramatown We're the strongest in our class.

Come on, how would a quick battle? You're about to get Shrek, camper Jacob. One, you're wearing like Cub Scouts gear. Ooh, ooh, you got what, a Ponyta? Right, that's what that is, a Ponyta? Pretty much. No, I know Fire won't do that too much. Oh yeah, pretty much. Still though, I still don't have to sell that. Use Ember. Okay, let me explain something to you. You have Fire on the back and head of your Pokemon. I have Fire coming out the tail. A fire attack on a fire guy. Just, just seems idiotic. I'm just letting you know, I'm trying to teach a kid. Okay? You see flames on my literal Pokemon. Maybe don't shoot flames at them. My guy eats flames for breakfast. Come on. Literally, look at his name. Monferno! I mean, kids these days. They don't know what ferno means. They don't know that it's a play on words of inferno. They, I'm giving these kids too much credit. He literally thought I was a grass type. That's all. He clearly thought I was a grass type. He thought there was like sticks and leaves growing out of me or something. I don't blame him. All right, do I have to go this way? Before I fight you, man. X attack, I have no idea what that is. Sure. Dude, this makes me want to drink. I feel like I'm at the German pub right now. This makes me want to drink. Ooh, you got a few Pokemon. You might know what's up. Let's see, you got a Geodude? You got a Geodude, huh? Monferno! Go! My attack rose. Oh no. Nussy Gaffer. Nussy Gaffer. I appreciate that you have multiple Pokemon. Ooh, Flame Wheel! Flame Wheel. Now, part of me thinks I should replace Ember. I think I'm going to get rid of two Fire Tanks. We'll wreck it. You're heading out to the right side. I see you. All right, let's see here. I want to see what Flame Wheel looks like. Oh yeah! There we go. You don't have to worry about burning you. Just take you out. Done deal. Geodude. Rock throw. There's a good move. I like Rock. What move has we got? Has anyone watched Arcane? I have no idea what that is. I thought about getting rid of Ember, but I was like, whatever. I never use those normal attacks, really, anyways. They're all just kind of whatever. All right, let's just see. It's super effective. Ooh, Badoof. You leveled up. Congrats, man. I mean, I give him credit. He's caught a bunch of Pokemon. So, I mean, that's cool. Let me toss a little Flame Wheel at you. Are you going to survive the one hit? I just want to see you get burned. Or is the fact that I killed you. Is that like a sick burn, dude? Oh, man. I got 616 for winning. Man, we've had like no Super Chats tonight. That's cool, though. You guys just don't want to see me drink tonight. That's all right. Remember all Super Chats go to drink. Oh, Badoof's evolving! Hold up. Hold up. The beaver's evolving. I'm losing the beef. Or am I getting a better beef? Is this one more? Oh! Oh, I'm getting a more grown up beef. There we go. Bye, barrel. Awesome. I got a crazier looking beaver. What do I like? Sure. What move was that? Ooh, Water Gun. All right. I like Water Gun. Let's get rid of Tackle. So you'll have a rock move, a fighting move, a normal, and a water. I like that. All right, Badoof. Badoof is trying to make a... Well, not Badoof anymore. Bye, barrel. He's trying to make an argument to stay in the party. All right. You won't be the first one I replace. Who's up here? Where am I supposed to go? Am I supposed to go down here? I don't know. People want you to be in complete top shape for another two days of streaming minimum. I got a podcast tomorrow. I have the game awards on Thursday and I have another live stream on Friday. So, yeah. I'm all right, guys. I'm literally in top shape right now. It's like last night didn't even happen. That's the beauty of being a Wisconsinite. If you're not from Wisconsin, I could do a five-day bender. No problemo. I said I'm even on a one-day bender. Ooh. You survived. Oh, you hit me with a seed. I don't know what I'm going to do. Oh, no, I have insomnia. Whatever will I do with insomnia? I'm so scared. If Legends is successful and changes how Game Freak develops core games, do you think they will stick with the two-game release strategy? I don't think Legends is going to replace the core games. I want to feel like it can, but it's not anytime soon. They're not going away from this dual-game release stuff for a long time. But I think they might want to like to have Legends be like a series that develops alongside all the normal games. That's just my opinion. My opinion could be very wrong. Are you going to talk to me, kid? You just want to play. You were on a two-year bender? Yeah, I mean. If you've ever lived in Wisconsin, you know that like, oh, man, you're going to have some drinks five nights in a row. Oh, no. It's not like I'm getting hammered. All right. Give me a little more. Oh my gosh, she's going to tackle me. Oh, ow. You bastard. You took off a few HP. It's not a remake. See, Fire Soul, you can't call something a Gen 4 remake when it takes place long before everything in Gen 4 even existed. Legends Arceus isn't a remake. Stating arc. I mean, maybe you're stating that too frustrate me and if that was the goal, congrats. Literally Legends Arceus takes place pretty much before any of the current Pokemon games ever existed. So you know how Breath of the Wild is like 10,000 years ahead of everything that's ever happened in the Zelda timeline? Think of Legends Arceus like a thousand years before anything in Pokemon has ever happened. That's what Legends Arceus is. Sorry, little pet peeve. They've been very clear that this game takes place before any of the games have ever happened. So how can it be a remake? It's because it takes place in the land that becomes what's in Gen 4. All right, moving on. All right, what's the science? Trainer tips. So it's more organized than me. Good to know. You want to go, buddy? I just love the music. So Fire Soul, I got a question for you. How do you know a plot about a game that hasn't come out? I'm legitimately curious. I know we know a basic premise, but how do you know the entire plot follows that movie? I don't know the game that hasn't come out. Now, I haven't seen the movie, so it's not like I know. I'm just saying that I don't really know how you could say it's like the plot from a movie when we don't even know what the plot is. Like, we have the games that I don't know. We don't even know what the full story is. Or are you just assuming? Because there's some similarities that it is. The Pokemon company is lazy nowadays. Look, I'm not even a Pokemon fan. At least I haven't been since I was like, I don't know, 15. But just because it's not like a fully open world game doesn't make them lazy. And like, I've been guilty of this in the past, but like just calling developers lazy is such a cop out. Game Freak doesn't have the time. They don't get five to six years to make a game like Breath of the Wild. They get two. Like, it's not their fault. The Pokemon company doesn't give Game Freak the proper development time to give you the kind of game you're probably hoping they can make. I have a Pokemon game of my dreams in my head, and Legends Arceus maybe might fulfill it. I don't know. But right now, the game of my dreams for Pokemon needs five to six years of triple A high budget development with 300 plus people. The Pokemon company is never going to allow that to happen. It's not Game Freak's fault. The developers are not at fault for the Pokemon company not giving them the time. So be mad at the Pokemon company. Be mad at the game developers. They can only do so much because they only have so much time to make the game because they're basically being treated like the Madden developers. They've got to shit something out every year. Yeah, so does the Pokemon. So does Game Freak. Game Freak's got to shit out a game every year. Like, what do you expect? Like, oh, am I supposed to be mad at the developers of Madden? Like, it's not their fault that EA doesn't make them just do roster updates and just release a new Madden every other year. So they actually have more time to make a new Madden. Same thing with Pokemon. I can't get mad at the developers when they're not given the time. Like, all the games that we say, well, look at Breath of the Wild, look at Odyssey. Yeah, Odyssey, speaking of that, that only came out in 2017. We haven't had a mainline Mario game since. And it's almost 2022. Because they take their time making game. Pokemon company don't give a shit about that. They want to shit out a game and get their 10 million in sales every year. Oh yeah, Pokemon company has entirely different goals, by the way, too. They don't care about making the game of your dreams. They have everything lined up in a very specific way with the anime, the cards, the amusement parks. Everything works together. And they're not going to shift their timeline. Just to give the developers more time to make a better game. And ramp. I found Rapel. Alright, hey, can you stop running away from me and just fight me already? Ah. Trying to level my Pokemon. Look, as I keep telling people, I don't even like Pokemon that much. And I'm still not going to say, um, the, the, the Brilliant Diamond, China Girl remakes are kind of like me. I don't agree with that. This was made by a completely different development studio that doesn't have a ton of experience. And all things considered, they were handed one of the biggest IPs in the world. They were handed a very small timeline to do it. And they churned out, so far what I would say is a fairly enjoyable experience. I'm sitting here playing it. I never thought that I would be playing a Pokemon game until Legends Arceus. And here I am playing this. One, you guys asked me to, but two, it's really not that bad. Kind of enjoy it. So I don't really know, what are we expecting? Like, Pokemon is what it is. Pokemon's been what it is for nearly 30 years. So like, oh, 25th anniversary is this year, right? So like, Pokemon's been the way it is for 25 years. Like, what? Why do we suddenly expect it to be something that's not, you know? I don't, like, I, again, I don't really even like Pokemon that much. But I'm not mad at Pokemon. Pokemon is what it is. Wow. I think people just like to get mad to get mad. People forget that Pokemon's just supposed to be a very simplistic RPG intended for children. Like, people forget what Pokemon's intended audience is. It ain't you, it ain't me, it ain't us in our 30s. It's intended for people like my children. My age eight son, my age six son, my age ten daughter. It's intended for them. And it's supposed to be a very simplistic, easy to play RPG. It's not supposed to be complex. It's not supposed to be this big, massive breath of the wild style game. It's just supposed to be simple and easy and fun for children. That's what it's supposed to be. We all know Pokemon has an expanded audience. But, when you consider what Pokemon is, this is perfectly fine for kids. There's no issue with this game for kids. My kids are waiting for me to be done playing so they can play. Like, they're excited to play this game. So, gotta remember and tend to, ooh, is that a water Pokemon? Give it a power up. I might actually take out my guy. You might actually take him out. Not growl. Never mind. I was worried for a moment thinking, oh yeah, you might actually hit me with some water, but then you did. You're a horrible changer. If that Pokemon had any water attack and you didn't use it, you're horrible. Do you believe that people of all ages can enjoy Breath of the Wild? Yes. But, Zelda games have always been intended for, I would say, the teenage early adult years with the capability to be enjoyed by a young girl. So, yeah, everyone can enjoy Breath of the Wild, but it's not specifically targeting children. Pokemon is specifically targeting children, and people that grew up with it happen to sometimes still enjoy it. As an example, it's very rare for an adult to pick up Pokemon that never played Pokemon before and suddenly get really into Pokemon. It just doesn't happen. Most people that you know in their 20s and even in their 30s or 40s that enjoy Pokemon grew up playing Pokemon. It isn't because they just picked up their first Pokemon game ever and suddenly fell in love. It started when they were kids, because that's the target audience. Zelda, on the other hand, Breath of the Wild comes out, there's adults the world over that's the first ever Zelda game, and they felt, it's hard for me in your 31. Breath of the Wild is hard for you? I mean, I don't know. The thing is, I'm literally a gaming YouTuber, and Zelda is my favorite franchise. To me, I think Zelda is even considered to be hard, but I got to remember, I got to be more conscious that obviously I might be better at Zelda than the average player out there. I don't even consider myself good at Zelda. I beat my first Lionel earlier this year. I'm not even that great at Zelda. But I've been playing it a long time. So I don't know. I've just played games that I consider way harder, I suppose. Oops, I was getting forgotten. Okay, so we got a poison attack. Super Sonic. I mean, you could argue for catching Pokemon, I guess. Me and Look might be good for catching Pokemon, but the 30-year-olds who are carrying Pokemon on their backs with their money, it's funny. Yeah, I have no idea. All I know, so when Sword and Shield came out, I still had my job working at the local elementary school. And when Sword and Shield came out, all the kids ahead switches were playing Sword and Shield. Now, I'm an adult, obviously. And I go to game launches and game staff, and I bring my Switch, and so do other adults that are there waiting for game launches. And every launch I've been to after Sword and Shield came out, not a single adult was playing Sword and Shield. I saw some playing Mario, I saw some playing Zelda, I saw some playing Mario Kart. But I didn't see a single person playing Sword and Shield. Now, it's a very small sample size where you'd be like, oh, I'm not saying there aren't 30-year-olds, I'm literally a 35-year-old playing Pokemon right now. Not that I would be doing it if I wasn't a YouTuber, I would never be playing this. But, I don't know. You can say 30-year-olds are carrying the franchise. Children are still very much into Pokemon. This is kind of what I'm trying to get at. From my experience and my area in Wisconsin, elementary kid ages still love Pokemon. That hasn't changed. They're still rocking Pokemon cards. They're still trading, God, my kids just traded something the other day to bring home a Pokemon card from a friend. Like, it's still very much a thing with kids. Maybe it's not as big as it used to be with kids. That might be true, I have no idea. But, it's still like, kids know who Pikachu is. They know Pokemon. So, I'm guessing we need to go through the forest. What's up here? Oh, this is the forest. Well, I can't cut yet. I don't have cut. I don't have cut. What's down? What is that? Super Potion? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Do we want to go down here? Let's go down. Oh, this is that area I couldn't get to before. Pokemon doesn't release yearly. So, let's think about this for a moment. Pokemon is about, or Pokemon. The Switch is about to turn. Five years old. On March 3rd. As of March 3rd, the fifth anniversary of Switch, we will have had. This is just thinking of the more core game for Pokemon. Now, so not counting Snap and stuff like that. Let's go Pikachu, let's go Eevee. Sword and Shield. Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Pokemon Legends are games. So, maybe you could say Pokemon is not yearly. That's four major Pokemon games in five years. So, sure. You could technically argue because we didn't get a brand new Pokemon game in 2020. And by the way, we still might get another Pokemon game next year for the holiday. Pokemon games are practically yearly. New generations aren't yearly. But Pokemon games are practically yearly. Yeah, every now and then there's a year off. But let's not kid ourselves. I'm not even a Pokemon person and I'm aware of how often Pokemon games come up. Um, they just mix it up now in remakes. It doesn't matter what I use. Everything's perfect. We'll ember it up. Yeah, we got the Sword and Shield DLC last year. But, you know, DLC wasn't always a thing before. I'm not, you know, still technically not in a year with a brand new, you know, big Pokemon. Current Pokemon, all right. Hot Cherries? I haven't seen you yet. I mean, I'm still going to wreck your face. I just haven't seen you yet. All right, I'm going to give you the Flame Wheel. Survived a hit. Good on you. Good on you for not being one-shot him. You know what feels weird? Defending Pokemon. I've been so critical of Pokemon over the years as like an outsider looking in. And I'm sitting here defending Pokemon. I never thought I'd be defending Pokemon. It's weird. It's just I know what Pokemon is. I've never had a fundamental issue with what Pokemon. I just grew out of it. There's nothing wrong with that. That's like people that tell me, I'm never playing Pokemon again because they got rid of the National Dex unless they bring back the National Dex. Then don't. Grow up. Nobody cares that you, oh no, you don't have your National Dex so you want to go play a different game. Beauty of gaming. There's something for everyone. Pokemon is no longer for you. Go play Shin Megami Tensei 5 or go play something else that's not even similar to Pokemon. Nobody cares. I quit playing Pokemon after Generation 2. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Move on with your life. I think a lot of people just base a lot of their self-worth and value around video games, especially when they put years and years into this. I get it, but also it's a video game. Can we have some perspective here? Video games are just a form of entertainment. I've put years and years and years into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And when it ends one day or it gets to a point that I don't want to watch anymore, oh well, nobody's going to care. I'll just move on to something else. People to me just get angry over stuff that I just don't think's worth the anger when you think about perspective. Video games can be incredibly powerful and emotional and help people through things. It certainly did for me, but if video games got ripped away from me one day, I'm not going to cry. I'll just be like, alright, whatever. I'll do something else. I'll miss it, but there's other things in life I enjoy. And the only thing in life you enjoy is video games, and you need to get out more and discover something. Because there's more out there than video games. And I love video games, and I'm sitting here a YouTuber making money playing a video game. Because even if I'm not getting super chats, I'll get ad revenue. But there's more to life, man. And maybe the perspective hit me because I have children. You know, once you have kids, it really does put life and perspective a lot. And Breath of the Wild 2 turns out to be like Phantom Hourglass, it'll be the first one crying. It's just true. Will I be critical? Will I be upset for a brief moment? Sure. And will I have a rant on a live stream or in a video? Maybe. And then I move on. Like, this is the problem I have with people that still come at me now I'll never play in Pokemon again with it. Okay, let it go already. The National Dex news is old news. It's two and a half years old. We've had two and a half years and they said we're no longer going to have a National Dex. I'm not still going to be bitching. Let's say Breath of the Wild 2 disappoints me and it's like Phantom Hourglass. I'm not going to be bitching about it two and a half years later. When Phantom Hourglass comes up, I say yeah, I just don't like that game. I'm not sitting here ranting and raving and bitching about Phantom Hourglass. I just don't like that game. Okay, cool. Move on with your life. It's not that big a deal. Yeah, you have your moment where you're disappointed and upset and you want to rant. I thought that moment was two and a half years ago. Why are we still bitching about it today? Like, move the fuck on. That's the difference. It's like, yeah, I'll have that moment and then I move on. You know, like Pokemon. I didn't like what happened in Gen 3. So I just moved on. I was upset at the time and then literally after like a month I just didn't care. I don't know. That's exactly what they want. They want you to forget about it. Who wants me to forget about it? Who wants me to forget about it? The game companies? Why do I give a shit about them? They either make games I want to play or they don't. Oh no, as Zelda suddenly becomes a series that I don't enjoy anymore, I stopped buying it. If other people still enjoy it, good for them. Same thing with Pokemon. When Generation 3 came out I kind of got burned out with Gen 2 and I didn't like what I was hearing about Gen 3. Then I saw some trailers, played a demo and ended up not really liking it. So then I said, you know what, I'm just not going to buy Pokemon this time. And then I really never bought Pokemon again. Till now. And the remakes of Gen 1 with Let's Go EV. The thing is it's a strange feeling to me because I don't get mad that other people are enjoying something that I once did but no longer do. It gets back to an earlier point in the stream when someone was mentioning you know, oh man why do you care about trying that new Fortnite thing? Man, like Battle Royale's are so overplayed, it's just another shooter. Yeah, that's how you feel. You're burned out. You're burned out because you've played every Battle Royale and tried to get in. I haven't. You know how many Battle Royale games I've actually tried out? I've never played PUBG. I've never played Warzone. I've never played Apex Legends. I've played a single one. I've played Fortnite a little bit on this channel on live stream for I don't know, a few months on Switch. That's my experience. I can't be burned out on something that I haven't overplayed. And if you're burned out, cool. Like if I end up not liking Zelda games one day it's hard for me to imagine that day coming but let's say that day does come. As long as others are enjoying it why would I be reigning on their parade? Let them enjoy it. There's a plenty of Zelda fans that don't actually like Breath of the Wild. Long time Zelda fans that just detest Breath of the Wild. Okay. That's the way I am with games though. I can let things go. It's not that big of a deal. It's like, look if Pokemon is no longer for me why would I keep bitching about Pokemon for decades and decades when it's just not for me anymore? As long as others are still enjoying it cares. I don't care what the companies want you want me to forget what that I don't like the games anymore so I stop buying them. Well they'd probably rather I still buy the games but I don't know. The name is Nate. It's really nice to meet you. May I ask a big favor? I want to get through this forest I'm afraid of doing it alone. Oh my god. Team Galactic ain't shit. My the doof that just evolved could take care of them. Alright yeah. Join my party. Wait what's the sign say? Eternivorous. Where time stands still. We don't age here? That's cool if we don't age. You want to fight? You want to go? What's over here? What's this? I can't kite that. I like Breath of the Wild but I would prefer tradition than the word of heaven. You've got a lot of grew on you. Cool. Like I don't know. I guess I guess that's just the way I am like when there's movies I don't like like I'll talk about it for like a day and then I just kind of move on and yeah maybe it maybe something like Zelda might stick with me for a little bit longer than a day but I think it'll stick two and a half years. I had like on this same it's what happened with Phantom Hourglass like I got upset when it came out and I played it and I didn't enjoy it and then I just moved on like I don't know whatever. Maybe I'll like the next one. Maybe I won't. You know, just life. Maybe it's just because I don't base a lot of myself worth around videos. Now I will say this if I was still a kid it's possible that I might feel differently as a teenager because the big thing for me now is I am in my mid 30s I do have three children of my own ages 6, 8 and 10 actually the 10 year olds about to turn 11 you know I've been through a lot of things in life and so maybe I've just gained so much perspective to realize how little video games really matter you know it's just an entertainment medium like movies and books, music and everything else it's an interactive entertainment medium and one I really enjoy but it's still just entertainment and if you're just not entertained anymore it's okay so maybe it's just because I'm older now if I was a teenager maybe I'd still be a whiny little bitch bitch in about the same game 5 years lab I didn't do that when I was a kid so it's hard for me to know that I if I would do that when I was them but I guess I could imagine because I was more immature you know, based myself worth on things you know like World of Warcraft like oh my god if I lost the raid boss in World of Warcraft like yeah it was upsetting thinking back to those days it's kind of like really you know I was never one of those people like in Call of Duty matches like bitch in you know I didn't even have a headset like as an example I lost a Madden League game today and it was really hilarious so I'm playing this Madden League and my quarterback just my guy is wide open and my quarterback just throws it feet set and everything 12 yards away from my receiver and it gets picked up and I was like are you kidding me and then my daughter sitting there on the couch and she looks at me like dad it's just a game and it's like I know I'm not really upset it's just a little disappointing you know like when something doesn't go your way but like literally as soon as the game ended I just I didn't care so I don't know I just like go with things easier now and she's watching my daughter be like dad why are you upset it's just a game because she never sees me get upset over games I know I'm sorry I'm disappointed I'm expressing my disappointment um really? that was your that was your choice I know I don't have to do this now I can do this after the fat but I am going to drop a super potion stop using him and use other pokemon it's cool whoops no I didn't want to run it's not what I meant to select it's it's giving a mock punch yes mario does have mainline there's a lot of mario spin-offs but there are mainline well so zelda link well what gets me sometimes is and I again I've been guilty of this myself in the past ah lazy developer how do you know the developers they didn't get to make the decision they're the one the developers are drunk work for all we know they're putting in 100 hour work how are they lazy sometimes they're just not given the opportunities and the time they need and the right team and the right oversight the right management to do what you want a lot of times most developers don't like putting out crappy products they want people to enjoy their work but see should oh wait what are we doing alright so we got spark throws an electrically charged tackle at the target might paralyze them alright we'll get rid of our normal tackling electrically 540 is a mainline zelda game it's a mainline zelda game literally it's inarguable you can say in my opinion it is not okay then 4 sorts of ventures is neither but according to nintendo the mainline you know what's not mainline the tingle spin-off series and the cdi game and links crossbow train wiggy what are we talking about well who's what's a kitty game what are we talking about as a kitty game I'm wondering where the adult content is because I have I have an opinion on adult content now that I am completely and fully what I would consider I'm not a perfectly mature adult but um better adult long enough to understand what most adults consider to actually be adult and like steady drop of the triforce hero I like triforce hero than my top 10 for zelda game but but I understand if other people don't like it it's cool just like I don't like fan of hourglass but a lot of zelda fans do like it cool I don't have a problem you all have personal preference your opinion your opinion is wrong your opinion is wrong for me it's not wrong for you um it's fun sometimes I do that like oh yeah your opinion is wrong it's fun I like having debates like that on the podcast and it's like yeah obviously your own personal preferences and opinions are your own no one can take your opinion cool abras hell yeah dude I like abras that's cause I like alakazam baby alright um flame wheels effective alright let's do it boom boom sorry abra I thought triforce heroes is a game where it's just fine and single player didn't bother me at all maybe you could argue there's some tedium there of course cause you gotta like pick people out to walk with them but I had to pick up medley and win waker and walk with her ass too just cause you have to do it like the whole game in single player oh well whatever didn't bother me as much as you might think I literally wrote a walkthrough and I had to do it the hard way because I didn't have my capture so we had to use the 3DS screenshot feature to take screenshots upload them to social media and then grab them off social media to have images for our walkthrough that I wrote and Eric helped me do that that was probably the only other time Eric actually played a lot of triforce heroes was when he was helping me get screenshots for the walkthrough back at back at zelda informer why? let's not bring up the R word there tedium even though you might be joking which I hope you're joking I don't yeah the 3DS screenshot feature and the thing is our triforce heroes walkthrough was probably the best walkthrough I mean I know I have a lot of personal pride in it but legitimately I compared it to game facts I compared it to zelda dungeon I compared it to all these walkthroughs on the internet ours was more informational it would help you actually 100% the game it had different explanations for how to solve puzzles whether it was single player or multiplayer I had everything down and it had all the helpful images which the images took forever because I didn't have a capture now I eventually did get a modified 3DS the capture I ordered one from Japan it was 500 bucks and it just took 3 months to come and it just wasn't there in time for triforce heroes endeavor what's endeavor endeavor it's a normal move attack move cuts down the target to be equal to users that's interesting well I mean we don't need tackle because we have quick attack we'll just learn that anyways well that's interesting though if your pokemon is like almost dead but it's faster then you can get that attack off pretty badass geodude wants to learn smackdown what is it? WWF baby WWE I guess hasn't been WWF for a long time so as a stone flying pokemon will fall to the ground when it's set rock polish I mean I feel like I feel like it's got a replacement like the sim it's like a similar move but does a little bit better against flying yeah if you have low HP pokemon that's what I'm saying it's kind of one of those if your pokemon is faster than theirs so it's going to attack first and he's low HP you sub that pokemon and you pop endeavor then I ever write a WWF sword I wrote one for WWF I wrote one for our links in the past Zelda 2, Zelda 1 the Oracle games, the Minish Cap I wrote a WWF Ocarina of Time and George Manus I didn't do one for the win someone else I helped put the WWF someone else wrote it and got the screenshots and I put together the web pages for it but I didn't actually write it and then Breath of the Wild hey there we go we finally have a wild pokemon haven't seen a new pokemon hey those are pokemon that I haven't seen in the wild yet can you like not kill them though? that would be nice like level 10, level 10 all the oh wait not very effective okay I like that let's go with a not very effective this still might kill them though do it on one fold because I'm twice the level so it still might kill them no I didn't I want to capture these pokemon oh no string shot let's see the string shot now alright I'm going to throw a pokemon now come on X right X the normal pokemon oh there has to only be one let's do Mach Punch against Bunny and see what happens okay well the bunny is gone please chancey don't kill the other pokemon don't kill it oh you are lucky don't kill it at least we got one they got complete to my party right this is my party right now oh wait no do I really want to add one for my party I don't like Zubat I'm just not a Zubat guy and I don't have any bug types yet or any bug types in my party my senses are tingling wumple has two different evolutions sweet wumple is just going to kind of sit on the bench and gather are you pokemon games that's kind of an interesting looking one and you're still going to die goodbye let me guess the next gym leader uses bug pokemon so I'm just going to shrek them more like grass pokemon bugging grass just going to here comes the swarming we got three pokemon though wumple R in the name plain wheel ugly that's just ugly pokemon they don't have to be pretty that is just an ugly pokemon is that one of the wumple evolutions goodbye you got 468 for winning rich everyone wumple is evolving I'm pretty sure you're turning into that ugly fricking thing aren't you hopefully your final form nope you turned into that silk I guess we'll see what you look like at your next what the pokemon we haven't placed any wild pokemon hey but I want them both nade is an eternal forest need attack let's water whoops whoops didn't mean to do that I guess we want to kill wait not very effective but you know what I'll catch them if I get this attack off I know I can use my, I use an antidote to get rid of the pair now we'll throw a pokeball low enough HP it'll work you can't catch both you have to take out one to catch one but dude that was a quick evolution you didn't stay in that silicone base for long see if I like this are you getting replaced nah okay you might need like a butter free thing beautify the bug type flying well I like that it's a flying type though absorb sure we got so it says you can fly ooh gust I like gusts grass, poison, bug we're gonna add to the party I think I'm gonna swap out so do I so I'm debating I don't really like Geodude though I don't know so I'm debating on swapping it in for either Biobarrow, Star Staravia or Geodude I'm gonna do a poll on this one I'm gonna do a poll on this one those are the three I'm considering swapping on I don't care if you guys think it should be a different one these are the ones that I'm considering swapping on let me get this poll up and then Geodude we'll do a quick poll here on this one quick poll quick poll everyone I got the poll up get the votes in on the poll guys there's a poll, vote in the poll I don't care what you guys say in the chat vote in the poll 10 votes are in, 20 votes are in whoa man Biobarrow was way in the lead and then Geodude just any more votes there's probably more votes coming in there's probably still Tally in the votes 27 it's looking like Geodude's the one it's gonna go whoa I'm gonna kill these things just because I need the XB for finding you guys raise it back or something knew it and goodbye whoops I was like I sucked at a Pokemon that wasn't there so I hope it goes to the right one we just needed the XB are we gonna tap by two of them or just one oh we're gonna tap by both Psyduck so we have those water types Psyduck in that one confusion confusion Confuses them I'm going to I got lots of potions hurt itself in confusion yeah one HP ah yeah Chancey take that bitch out whoops I just said it out loud I was hoping he's not Chancey but I can he'll heal my guy I got all the potions wrong person to ease that out Chancey's the one that's weak to that move bud all right whoops whoops whoops you're done son Ember Ember you're dead go home now Geodude needs to be traded to fully evolve God that's dumb you got 1,560 for winning any new Pokemon all right all right there we go all right here's where we catch them here's where we here's where we can take care of the bunny action all right so we're just gonna Ember 1 pull to death 1 pull or however you pronounce it I got a premier ball not really a bug we'll just try a standard one see what happens I know your health's not really low so I don't expect it to work I had to be shocked at that worth yeah yeah your health's not low enough I like that we'll bring on your Pokemon I don't have a Soothbell oh look why would you do that again when you're poisoned you we'll try it now you're there it is now I'm not gonna keep but Binary's just gonna go to the box normal type yeah I'm gonna put Binary in the box Lemonade couple it's not even Lemonade now it's Ember hey we had a new member I missed it earlier welcome Cheetsu to the member of the board of directors I'm trying to find you the latest member of the board of directors welcome to the champion ranks that puts us at 157 hell yeah 43 away from our 200 goal and then we have a big giveaway for our members at 200 so so we alright so what we got going on um I don't know that's the wrong Pokemon wait no that is the right one the other one I want to catch what's taunt do I just taunt to do a rage it allows it to use only attack move that's such a weird go chance you do that again and I definitely have some thought this doesn't work it's empty oh come on Chancey hit it with that attack one more time hit it with that attack one more time nope yeah I appreciate the heal but I wanted you to hit it with an attack man nope maybe I'll still catch it nope that's a Chancey hit it with an attack now there we go BAM alright McCrow was caught baby dark and flying huh jar of honey nice I know I haven't used the honey yet alright so I was gonna look look at that one item someone mentioned I should give so let's see what's that thing I'll see if I have I don't think I have that item that someone was mentioning the seed or whatever it is wait do I is it one of those berries DEVCHILLS DEVCHILLS renewed uh yes I've lost a little bit more weight I'm not I'm not even close to where I want to be but yes a little bit basically I put a bunch of way back on and now I'm on my way back um the soothebell yeah I don't have the soothebell so you don't have to cut move yet and that's it you're not gonna say anything else I just helped you get through the forest and you're not gonna be like here's some money I can't go up there but you're the same dude not here again did I fight you guys? you're just fishing I honestly have no idea what you do with these berries I mean I know you can give me your Pokemon but I don't actually know what any of these berries do this stuff didn't exist in gen one and gen two I don't think maybe I'm wrong maybe it did and I just don't remember but but yeah I literally don't remember a bit less of you nowadays a bit less of who a bit less of me sure you're talking about someone like that not that I really need to worry about this but we'll heal up anyways read them?

oh I got some stickers PM how do I save again an option oh that's right it's a R I played for almost 5 hours not too bad that's going to do it folks thank you so much for tuning in tonight I had a lot of fun we got to end this with a real shot so let me let me get a little super chat in here for a shot I know I know you guys really we did get a $1 donation earlier I do appreciate that but we're going to get a real shot in the end of the night alright so tomorrow tomorrow we have a podcast oh Nintendo Academy how's it going man so yeah I guess we're doing two shots in the night sweet remember folks tomorrow tomorrow we have our podcast with Tim from kind of funny games so remember please tune in tomorrow 8pm central time for that that should be fun and then obviously we have the game awards on Thursday Nintendo Academy is reminding me of the game awards and since he's our only super chat we've had tonight I have no idea what that was that was for Nintendo Academy though so I guess I got two shots here Eric twice in one week ah Eric twice in one week not just twice in one week two nights in a row I mean we haven't had Eric two anything in a row since E3 special I don't even know what the hell that was so that's why I bust out milk the cow and milk the cow I am from Wisconsin and milk the cow oh yeah milk the cow Eric back to back days hasn't happened since E3 we have not had Eric since E3 back to back days he was there like what four days, five days in a row whatever it was we have not had Eric back to back days since then thanks so much Nintendo Academy I do appreciate the 10 bucks it was a really light night for super chats basically I did a $1 one earlier and then there was none until just not yours we did get a $1 direct donation though to be fair from ALV I do appreciate that but it was a light night but as people said last night was a heavy night and we have a lot more to come this week I'm literally streaming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this week I have not done five days of streaming in a row in a long time maybe since E3 I literally it can be a bit exhausting sometimes giving up every night of your week the streams but it's exciting to be at the podcast which is a lot different and then the game awards which is also different and then we guess I guess recap the week with a nice little Q&A at the end of the week and then cool might take Monday off of streaming next week just to kind of give myself a nice little three day no stream break and then come right back with another Pokemon Brilliant Diamond stream next Tuesday TGA is going to be a heavy night for sure how do you know it's going to be a heavy night? that will be a long stream because we start earlier than usual because the TGA well I got it right here the TGA start at 6.30 is the pre-show so that's really when the TGA start we're going to be streaming before 6.30 though so we'll probably start streaming an hour before so we'll probably start at 5.30 so we'll do 5 or 5.30 we'll figure it out from there so either 5 or 5.30 we'll start doing the TGAs and then that stream TGAs usually goes super late goes to like 11 at night so that one's going to be like a 5 or 6 hour stream but I you know I don't presume it's going to be a heavy night it could be a heavy night it could be lots of drinks at night I have no idea but I don't like to presume it's going to be something this magical heavy night I mean maybe it will be maybe we are going to get a bunch of donuts at night but I'm not going to sit there and presume that's that's what's going to happen oh part of that went down the wrong hole alright can you ping us when you start streaming um yeah I didn't I didn't do the ping today yeah I'll ping in the discord server I can't ping you individually but I can ping in the discord server so yeah oh by the way by the way oh what was I going to say for the podcast because I had some people emailing me and asking where the hell the podcast went because we had a really good show last week right we had Thomas from switch stop on we actually had some of our it was nice it was a really good podcast and some people were like where'd it go one it's still there on our channel it's unlisted so if you got a notification for it you can technically go watch it but the on-demand version is at the podcast channel we have a podcast channel a podcast youtube channel so what happens right now is we live stream it here and then we upload it the next day because it takes youtube a bit to process it we upload it the next day to the nintendo prime podcast channel and then we also create clips out of it we actually had our first clip last week um that was about a half hour long we actually seemed to enjoy that we got 328 views nothing was promoting that clip by the way there wasn't like a giveaway promoting viewership on it like we have a giveaway right now for 3 copies of pokemon legends arceus and every time a new episode gets uploaded um to the nintendo prime podcast youtube channel it gets promoted through that giveaway but the clips don't so it was really neat to see one of the clips themselves got 328 views on it's own without any promotion I'm not wanting to click on it and check it out because maybe they didn't want to watch the full two and a half hour podcast to get that one topic that we talked about so uh same thing is going to happen this week as well um which is important that I get something in there besides the game awards because I'm not probably going to clip game awards content from that podcast and release it on it's own because by the time that clip would come out which would be like on friday game awards will have already happened so it won't be as relevant but but um when Tim's on we're not just going to be talking game awards tomorrow so game awards will be a topic and I got a couple questions for him because he's on the board uh for like you know on the panel for voting for stuff um but we're not just going to focus on that we're going to do more he wanted to be on this episode I think probably to talk about the game awards but we're going to talk about more than that so I gotta come up with some good topics I've been watching a lot of kind of funny games content this week just to kind of um get a feel for what what might be trending in their world um compared to my world and kind of come up with some good stuff to talk about so I'll look forward to that should be it should be a good time uh next week uh I can say next week uh there is a chance that we have a returning guest uh who's only been on our channel one time um might not be next week but we're trying to make it happen um Jake Randall if you if you know who Jake Randall is now I might have to move the pot I don't know Eric's had Eric has a potential conflict on Wednesday next week but we might still do the podcast anyways even if Eric's not around it if Jake Randall's I don't just be me and him talking um and by the way we actually have a Patreon member um who who I could also get on next week so then that can kind of be the Eric replacement if he can't make it so then we still have three people um but yeah Jake Randall reached out to me on twitter uh he wants to get on an episode he's not sure if he's going to have time we're going to try to hook up uh early next week to figure out if it's going to work out for him um because we you know he really wants to get on before the end of the year uh he also has a big live stream charity event coming up on the 23rd so there could be that as well maybe he wants to get some promotion in for that so yeah so we might have Jake Randall coming back on next week that's cool that's three weeks in a row where we might end up having really really good guests you know Thomas from switch stop Tim, Tim Getty from kind of funny games then obviously uh Jake Randall back and then we'll see who we end up getting the week of Christmas because I'm still I'm still talking to some people to set up a pretty special one for that week so uh I don't know but I like the game stream yeah um so I haven't been doing game streams for a long time I guess we can talk about that for a moment I'm not in a rush to get off off the stream yet um so game streams are something that I stopped doing a long time ago and it was really a logic based reason on why I stopped so back in 2018 we did a lot of game streams you know you guys remember um any of our long old people you guys remember the swatoon stream I mean those swatoon streams were crazy they were happening like two three times a week sometimes we do a Mario Kart stream um but yeah we pretty much almost every stream we did was basically a game stream there was very few times that it was like Q&A stream um and they would get like you know 20 live 30 live viewers um and yeah I mean there was a ton of super chat there was basically like a group of like 10 people that would super chat every stream it was insane um I don't even have that today so like it was insane back then but the thing is as the channel grew and things progressed the game streams never grew it just kind of stayed the same we couldn't really get a lot of people showing up to the game streams and it was weird because every time I would stream a game we would actually lose subscribers and I kept wondering why are we losing subscribers and it dawned on me and a few people brought it up to me that I'm not that great at games like I'm not I'm not you guys saw I lost to the first you know gym person I faced even though I probably had a team that could have probably pulled off the win um I you know I didn't know what I was doing and I lost um and that's just in Pokemon like you know you're playing Fortnite or playing in Splatoon I'm not like great at these games and I think what happened is people would be like oh man I really enjoy this guy's content but then I come watch him and he's a fake game it's a fake game look at him he sucked he doesn't play games these days as I'm playing a game I don't even play games right like dumb things so then they would they would unsubscribe because I'm not like a super high school gamer anymore I used to be but I've got other things around in my life I can't sit there and just game for 12 hours a day anymore like I could when I was a kid like I got I got lots of shit going on so um yeah of course I'm not nearly like I used to I used to be I used to be in the pro Madden leagues back in the day I ain't got time for that so now I'm not that great at Madden anymore because Madden's changed a lot over the years so there's just a lot of things that I'm just not that great at anymore not that great a smash never been that great a smash well maybe in the N64 days I felt like I was great but it was hard to measure back then um so the game streams didn't really do that well so I decided to start doing Q&A streams and when I started doing Q&A streams the viewership on the Q&A streams tripled the viewership on the game streams in addition I wasn't losing subscribers anymore on the Q&A stream so I stopped playing games for a while then as the years went on I sprinkled in the game stream here or there they didn't do well they were doing significantly worse than my Q&A's then I tried something earlier this year hey I'm going to beat a Lionel for my very first time on live stream that stream didn't do very well but yet the Q&A stream I did after did quadruple the viewership which told me that a majority of my audience is more interested in just talking to me and asking me questions then watching me play games now since that day I have sprinkled in some games here and there we did our E3 event and we had some gaming events inside the E3 event I played Breath of the Wild in there we also did some Smash stuff Mario Kart etc so that happened then during Prime Giving we sprinkled in some stuff and I realized that what kind of video game YouTuber am I if I just don't ever stream games now my original plan was I'll just do all the Q&A's here I'll stream games on Twitch but it's really hard to translate your YouTube audience to Twitch when you're my size now once you're at like 300,000 400,000 you know you're at that size and your videos are getting 50, 60, 70,000 views at that point you can probably translate a few thousand people over to Twitch and be able to pull in a thousand 2,000 live on Twitch and play games but I can't even pull in more than 10 I'm just not big enough to have an audience on 2 different platforms like that so I just kind of sort of made a decision randomly like 2 weeks ago that I'm just going to take Tuesday every week and just make it a dedicated game stream night now I didn't know I was going to be playing 4 million time in for like the next god 6, 7 weeks but yeah I'm just just going to dedicate that window to play games regardless of who showed up we could have 10 people watching and I still were to do this stream tonight look we had basically no super chats guys I get accused that I'll only live stream if I'm getting super chats until Nintendo Academy came there were zero super chats I didn't bitch I didn't complain I just played and I'm playing a solo experience right now I'm not even doing multiplayer right now so like I don't know and obviously some people are happy I'm back to playing games on the channel because they don't get to see me play games very often and obviously there's an opportunity for our members and all that to do multiplayer games in the future but I don't know I just figured it was the right time now obviously there's been extra reasons why viewership has been okay where we've had 60, 70, 80 100 plus people live watching my game stream and that's because there's been giveaways tied to it giveaways always drive traffic right so like when we did the Mario Party stream we had giveaways attached to that so that really drove people to come watch the stream because if I won the chat gets a chance to win if the people playing win they actually would be surprised so that really drove interest to the stream same thing for this right there's literally giveaway in the screenshot so like that gets people in to watch so my goal though is that I don't want to incentivize watching me play games with giveaways forever that's not something I want to do by the way I love giving away stuff obviously but I don't want to make every single thing I do live incentivize with giveaways no my Q&As aren't incentivized with giveaways but I don't want to make the other content I do always incentivize with giveaways as an example we are going to be giving away some stuff during the game awards but I'm not really advertising it it won't be in the thumbnail it's not going to be in the title saying you know hey come here for giveaways and stuff like it's not going to be in there I'm telling you guys right now there going to be some but I'm not advertising it with it cause I just don't feel like it so there's going to be a day that I'm not doing giveaways during my game stream I don't know when that day is going to be but I guess the goal of me doing giveaways during my game stream besides giving back to me nice is I want to grow my audience for game stream I want to get to the point that we have like 150 live when I'm streaming any no matter what game I'm streaming and eventually get to the point where I'm not giving away something and we still have that audience because we built up that audience by drawing them in and then they realize how fun the game streams are and they want to stick around every Tuesday make it a habit every Tuesday every single Tuesday night come join in center prime person whether you get to play with them or whether he's playing solo come join I want to make that a habit for people and once it becomes a habit suddenly won't matter anymore if there's giveaways and this isn't me saying that I want to pull back a giveaways it's just I don't want to be reliant on using them to boost hope that makes sense right like because I'm not stupid I know giveaways boost your ship I'm not like it's not rocket science over here um yeah the goal is just to grow the audience that way and then kind of slowly back off on that for these these game streams and I'm not saying by the way that there won't be sporadic giveaways during those game streams there's not gonna be advertising you're not gonna see giveaway in the title giveaway in the thumb like there still might be some it's just not gonna be advertised it's just gonna be if you're here in my game streams you know how they go you know what's up that's all you know like this stream cost me money man I did a 11 dollars in super chat to myself so it cost me 11 bucks right now plus um a 20 dollar giveaway I just did like it's 31 dollars it cost me tonight the stream isn't gonna make 31 dollars in ad revenue so like and even though the $10 or 11 of those kind of washes because of uh you know tend to um academy like okay I spent 20 bucks on a giveaway so like I didn't make that back and it's okay you know came for the giveaway stage yeah that's the point you came for the giveaway but then you stayed and you start to make it a habit to come every Tuesday that's my goal that's my goal so that's why like even though I'm streaming five days this week which is insane and I'm gonna take one of my streaming days off next week maybe even two I might take Monday and Friday off I don't know yet um but I'm not taking Tuesday my goal is to never cancel the Tuesday stream unless it's a family like if my kids have a game or there's some other family thing happening obviously you know I gotta I gotta do that but beyond that I don't want to be like oh I need a break let me cancel the Tuesday no no no I want to make sure that Tuesday and podcast stream those two streams always happen period no exception that's what I'm trying to do we'll see what happens we're gonna call that thank you guys so much for tuning in you guys are amazing you guys are awesome this was fun I think I think what's helping me enjoy these Pokemon games is that I'm playing in front of you guys I definitely would have stopped playing this game on my own like the first day this isn't me saying Pokemon Brilliant Diamonds is a bad game it's just it is what it is it's a super simple easy RPG intended for people my kids age and I'm cool if you're older and you really enjoy it you really get to do it and you're shiny hunting and you're doing fine but like for me as a 35 year old adult I hasn't played Pokemon in 20 years it doesn't really feel like it's changed that much and it's still really easy and it's still just like the same like what did I do in this stream I caught some Pokemon I cried in some XB I got a gym bet what did I do last stream I caught some Pokemon I cried in some XB I got a gym bet it's the same thing on repeat no it's the same thing 20 plus years ago so I was like nothing's really changed Pokemon kind of still is what it is and that's fine it ain't broke don't fix it but um yeah my kids some of these streams I really got to start powering through it like I don't want to just have it be like a gym per stream I would love to hit like three gyms in one stream so at some point I got to start messing around and just start powering through the game we'll get there alright guys peace out
