Ok, so I made my fun experience of how I got into Pokemon and what I did in the last 16 years. They were fun topics to cover about. While I mostly covered the positive stuff, I want to extended it a bit here, just to explain about my other part of the fandom, even if it’s a place I don’t look as often, but it’s considerably long enough that it just fits as its own page.

Do I follow the Spanish fandom?

As a matter of fact, I do, but not as often as the English one. I’m not fluent with Spanish, despite being with my family who knows Spanish well enough. Besides that, I do check on the Spanish fandom from time to time, and I mostly follow the Latin American fanbase, but I also pick up a bit on Spain’s fandom too. My first time being involved with the Spanish fandom was me going to Costa Rica in late 2005, seeing one of Pokemon Advance Challenge episode, Winona’s first introduction. At the time, I laugh at how the Spanish voices are so different, and they can be funny as a kid. It wasn’t the first time I had this thought, it was seeing Nickelodeon Latin America when I was in Peru in late 2003, seeing my favorite cartoons. But yeah, also on the same day, I watched Mewtwo Strikes back on that same day after my trip from the airport. It was few hours after the main series from Cartoon Network, and I first saw the first movie alone, in Spanish. I didn’t understand what they were saying, but it was still fun to watch and I could kinda see what was going on. I also then saw Pokemon Chronicles there, when it was ongoing there as new episodes, starting with the Gary episode. I saw a couple of them, and I did not even knew that spinoff existed, as it wasn’t shown in the US yet back then. Seeing Misty have Luvdisc, and Casey saving a Charizard, and also, Christmas special with Ash and his friends appear faceless for some reason. LOL. I even saw more of it on another trip, and also saw English Dub around the time before another trip. While I had cousins who are quite friendly, they were not into Pokemon unfortunately, so I don’t really have someone I know who can directly tell me the experience of the LA fandom. I also seen a couple of episodes on other trips in my life so I saw some LA dubbed episodes. I even went to a Spanish Anime website where you can download episodes that are in the LA dub. There was one for Season 13 where someone used a Japanese recording that contains Japanese audio, English dub, LA Spanish Dub, and Castilian Spanish Dub, all in one MKV file. As what I can see by searching the fandom myself around 2011-2012 from finding those episodes, they are really active. I remember they were really happy to get Pokemon B2W2 on launch day. LA countries share the same release date as North America. Well, Nintendo products are distributed by a third party company called Latamel. Well, even though they’re not first party markets as Nintendo does in European countries, Pokemon games are still profitable. I mean, the hardware and games are more expensive in those countries, like nearly twice the price, usually. Well they would mostly get English imports as there was a lot less support for Latin America in the gaming industry.

Pokemon games in LA and its problems:

Right now, they’re getting more support, Legend of Zelda already got its LA dub since BotW, and Nintendo’s most recent franchise to have LA translation is Animal Crossing since last year. Sadly, no Pokemon games have LA translation yet, except for Pokemon GO. Despite LA Spanish fandom being really active, The Pokemon Company never had an actual support with Latin America for the games yet, and even if they added language support since X and Y, the Spanish Translation is a complete import from Spain, which means the moves, the character names, and the dialects are pretty different and some fans may not like that approach. Playing a game that only has Castilian Spanish is still common and not really an issue as long as you understand the translation pretty well. For Pokemon specifically, it has a couple of problems. You would think since X and Y release, that they would start using the Spanish names for characters, attack moves, and city names for XY anime’s LA Spanish dub, right? NO! They still decide to stick with just use the English character names and cities, translate their own Attack moves if the moves are new or use an existing one from most recent dubs (Some moves have multiple names throughout the anime, as the show got five different dubbing studios), which doesn’t match with Castilian Spanish game translation at all. You will be confused about who’s name is that person or attack move of you watch any available Spanish translation of both anime and the games, which is why LA Pokemon fans want the games to finally have the LA Spanish translation being made. It’s likely that TPC decided to have the anime to not change even when X any Y came out with language selection. The fandom think it’s best if the player knows a good level of English at least and just play the games in English. There’s also a Reddit thread about why the games should have the translation for LA Spanish audiences, as this persons went a bit more detail as to why Castilian Spanish translation may not work for LA audience as a Kids game, like certain words can be considered vulgar:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TruePokemon/comments/jcf7ix/pok%C3%A9mon_in_latin_america/

 
More example of LA fans seeing some words being common in Spain is vulgar:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1ogdln/vulgarity_in_the_spanish_version_of_the_game/

 
And to give you another example how TPC has less support for their fandom, none of the anime game trailers, Pokemon Generations, or Twilight Wings got LA Spanish dub at all, as none of the games as of now have the LA Spanish translation. TPCi would instead use the LA spcial media accounts and LA Pokemon websites link the Castilian Spanish dub. I do believe TPCi really needs to take a look at the LA Spanish fandom as they are really big. Peru of all Latin America is one of top 5 countries where they have most Pokemon fans. It’s really interesting that one of my family’s country was the top 5 largest fandom, and as a matter of fact, I do see Pokemon merch being made there. I only see images of the merch. But yeah, I so hope TPCi decide to include the LA Spanish translation as a lot more games in 2010s decide to give more supports to LA Spanish audience. This isn’t the 90s or the 2000s anymore, when it was where most video games’s only translation was Castilian Spanish, and pirated stores sell bootleg disc that are taken from PAL games to play the games in Spanish. It got a lot better in last couple of years. Crash series got LA translation, and so did most of Sony’s and Microsoft’s franchises too.

Overall:

So all in all, despite the games lagging behind, Manga doesn’t have all volumes translated, and TCG only getting English cards, the LA Pokemon fandom is one of the top biggest communities in the world. I still think the top 3 are Japan, US, and China, based on the statistics, but yeah, the LA fandom is pretty active, and they still play the games and stuff, and most of them watch the anime. The anime was dubbed in Mexico, Ash’s first VA was very popular as he voiced Ash, and his got changed by Season 13. Only Jirachi and Deoxys movie was dubbed in Argentina, having sets of different VAs. I see merch everywhere relating to Pokemon, hearing about the games launch day being celebrated in cool areas, and seeing the fans of the anime. I may not be fluent with Spanish, but I do see the fandom are still enjoying Pokemon. I know they would also have an issue with Dex Cut from Sword and Shield just like the entire world does, but still, I do see a couple of fans enjoy the franchise. I even saw a relative who has a boy who had a Pokemon birthday party for the last four years, which seems interesting.

Castilian Spanish?

And if you ask me about Castilian Spanish, I don’t mind seeing CS dubs of any anime. I remember watching Mermaid Melody in Castilian Spanish as there was no subs for all episodes at the time and English Dub never made it. I actually liked the Spanish dub, and as for Pokemon, when I got the episodes a decade ago, I finally hear what the dub sounds like. It’s interesting how Ash’s VA is still voicing him, even to this day. I find it interesting that the games give characters different names, and in most cases, I prefer English names. Meowth’s voice sounds really close to his current English voice, which is funny to me. I don’t have much experience with Spain’s fandom as I do with Latin American one. I prefer LA’s first theme song over the Spanish one, but I do prefer Advance Battle Castilian one over LA Spanish one, even if I like both of them. Oh and also, Johto Journeys one, as LA one was badly edited, not using the TV version and use full theme song that is just cut down and missed some lyrics. But yeah, I don’t mind the Castilian Spanish translations. I find them to be interesting.

Next:

My part 3 will just be discussing about my other experiences in the fandom and compare it with other ones, and it’s gonna be concerning and stuff, but I do want to get into it as I had friends who had different experiences, each of them.

So before I share the story here, I did an April Fools joke in Pikapika-2000’s Discord Server that my Dicsord account, even Youtube, Deviantart, Twitter, and Tumblr, got hacked by Iris. I uploaded the video last week of Iris taking over my channel (and my friends too), and has the courage to tell off others in Discord.

The Discord Story was with a couple of people:

-MovieMaker X

-Pikapika-2000

-Lillie is Cute UWU (Both Professor Alex and I’m Back - Lillie The Scientist)

-Certified Avery (Vincent Edgeworth)

-CayCee

-Sasuke lol

(Evil Iris: And now I’m looking for Steven and Wallace to give A STERN TALK!! They never let me talk to MovieMaker X, but too bad for them! I hacked their channel!! No more Steven and Wallace, or Maxie, or Avery!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Evil Iris: I would rant the entire thing on Vent Channel, but I don’t care enough about your own problems, so I’ll do it here!! And yes, that blond boy!! He’s kicked out of Pika’s channel to which I now own!! He’s still in this server though!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
Ummm, i don’t see him.
[8:24 AM]
you must be seeing things Iris.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Evil Iris: Well he must be afraid of me then. I know Steven and Wallace come here regularly, so… Also you guys should hate Ash Ketchup and fries and all of Kanto, including the champ!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
Ummmm, why all of Kanto tho?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris: Because of Ash Ketchum!! He ruined my life, and Misty and Brock act the same as him, so all Kanto people are like him!! I wanna destroy that region that day!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
I don’t understand, so you want to destroy kanto, but doing that also meaning destroying Johto because they are next to eachother.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris: Just Kanto! I don’t give a farts about Johto! Also, I don’t believe in Kanto Pandering!! They just want to put many Kanto stuff just to insult me and made me believe Ash Ketchum wants to rule over me, and that’s his fault for doing it!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
…that’s weird, because i don’t remember that.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris: Well he certainly did!! He even decided to make that Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee game, and shoving ALL UP ON ME!!!! ENOUGH WITH KANTO ASH KETCHUM!!! STOP REMINDING ME HOW SUCCESSFUL YOUR SHOW WAS!!! Anyway, I plan to capture him one day without anyone else knowing)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
You are making no sense Iris!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris! Yes I am!! He also helped the Pokemon Studio to ban me and I HATE IT!!! The people I beat up, they all deserve it!! I don’t see what’s wrong with that!! ASH KETCHUP IS THE ONE WHO HELPED LOOKER FIND THAT CHAMP!!! WORST THING OUR OF EVERYTHING!!! I GOTTA BREAK SOMETHING!!!!!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021

[8:40 AM]
(Evil Iris: Anyway, I hope you guys start watching my new videos and even my show that is not edited by N! And no, all the hate I got is because of Ash Ketchum and Konata Izumi!)
[8:40 AM]
(Evil Iris: And don’t watch the videos where Konata filmed me to make me look bad! She’s so good at it!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
I can’t.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris: You better be! I’m just waiting to meet Steven and Wallace and even Avery here!! Oh, and I heard Maxie is here, but he’s not on that often here, but he has a twitter account, and I have Pokefan’s account there, so I’ll trash talk him there)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021
I’m from another world.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021
(Iris: I’ve been to different worlds, I went to Skinny Zach Films, David Militello, CN100eg, and MovieMaker X! I couldn’t hack Skinny Zach’s youtube channel or David Militello, but I successfully did to the latter two!! No more Maxie video, and no more Steven and Wallace videos, and best of all, more videos from me on four channels!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021

Since last week, DP remakes are announced, as Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. I somehow knew they were gonna reveal those games, being the remakes that us fans always wanted.

So, as I saw it first, I was happy that they were remaking those games. So when I saw the overworld of the remake, at first, I thought it looked a bit jarring as I didn’t expect they literally gonna remake everything of the game. While I liked the chibi style of the game, it was odd at first glance and we thought it would be almost like SwSh or Let’s GO style, but I still didn’t mind the style and stuff, as long as the gameplay is really solid, and the visuals at least look coherent as opposed to looking worse (Warcraft 3 reforged and blurry mess of FFVI remake). I get why others aren’t happy with that style of look, and I know others want DP remakes to be as good as Link’s Awakening for Switch. It likely will, and I can see a bit different style between the overworlds of both games, but DP remakes should look pleasing anyway, and the Chibi overworlds became a meme quickly so I’m glad it turned out to be laughable rather than most hating it. It can be almost a situation of The Wind Waker’s first reveal where some didn’t like the different style of the game at first, but as I tried finding comments and tweets, I mostly seen either memes or criticizing the chibi style initially, more than seeing people outright hating the games. I am fine with fair criticism. However, I’m glad it was overall well announced and that it was at least liked, and so I’m really happy I predicted that the DP remakes are liked.

Not only that, but what grabbed the attention from BDSP was Legend: Arceus game by Gamefreak. Ok, BDSP are developed by ICEA and Arceus by Gamefreak, and as I see Legends, it looks really good, and it looks like an inspiration of Zelda’s Breath of the Wild. Visually, it looks like an improvement. This looks really interesting like I believe this is what Gamefreak wanted to make for Sword and Shield, nearly. Only if GF was allowed by the Pokemon Company to not rush the game and give it more time. Well this time, Legends is likely gonna be even better. It’s out on next year in early 2022, which seems like a good pick! No main game released for the Holidays, the worst time for games to be released in, and so it showed us that Gamefreak has more room to develop the game and can have nearly everything they wanted according to their plan. We’ll, it does prove that Gamefreak can make the games look good, despite their handling on performance optimization on past games, but still will look a lot pleasing, just like SwSh’s Crown Tundra. Also so far, I like it has a couple of Pokemon that is outside of Kanto from the trailer just to show they should be balancing the pokemon from other generations besides Kanto ones, to have a lot less nostalgia baiting. We see Cyndaquil, Oshawatt, and Rowlet as the starters, and they’re cute. Also seeing them catch Pokemon outside of battle is pretty neat.

So I liked both BDSP and Legends Arceus. BDSP are gonna be exciting. I know it comes out for the holidays, but it’s less of a worry as they’re remakes and handled by ICEA who has a lot more employees than Gamefreak, while Gamefreak is working on the most important Pokemon game to their fullest talents as possible. I know DP remakes are gonna be priced at $60 as Nintendo always does with every Pokemon Switch game, but that will be in my Sword and Shield Part 2 where I’ll explain more over the price of the games and reason why they’re overpriced. As for Legends, that will be an exception granted it has more development room, and so I’m fine with Legends being at $60 as of now. Well, I’m still excited to hear about both games from last week’s Pokemon Present. Now all I see is jokes on BDSP’s chibi models and fanarts of the players from Legends. I would like to either believe the players are Lucas and Dawn, or their ancestors. We’ll see, and it’s a great way to reveal for the 25th anniversary.

Well, today’s a special day, and you what today is! (At the start of writing this a day before to this post’s date) lol

It’s POKEMON DAY!!! (Belated) Not only that, it’s the 25th ANNIVERSARY of Pokemon!!

Well, happy (Belated) Pokemon Day and we hope to have a great day today, and I will explain my experiences of why the Pokemon Fandom is my favorite fandom!

The beginning:

Before 2005, I rarely got into Pokemon, but was neutral to it. I only first heard of it in 2002, likely when Cartoon Network announced its broadcast there when I was 8. My family claimed I saw the first episode with my older sister when it first came out. I remember playing Pokemon in school once, because one teacher had it in her closet. A gameboy color with Pokemon, mostly gen 1, and I tried playing it, but I didn’t know what to do. I was busy walking in the route below Cerulean City, and wow, I didn’t how moves work. XD That was in 2002 after a big test and we get to relax. A year later, I remember I played Starcraft maps that are Pokemon related. I remember I tried seeing it from Cartoon Network, but I couldn’t see it, because it came on at 9PM, the time I was supposed to sleep at the time, and I didn’t know they air it on Kids WB or heard of that block. So in late 2004, I was going on a field trip, and I sit with my best friend, who was playing Crystal on his gameboy advance. He let me play it, and I remember surfing at I believe at the four islands between Cianwood City and Olivine City. All I did was surf and use thunderbolt on Tentacools with Pikachu. My best friend told me to use thunderbolt. That moment was just a boost before I really got into Pokemon, so I didn’t have any interest yet. I didn’t have a gameboy advance or a game console yet. I only played games on my personal PC I got since I was 7. And yes, I know how to use windows since I was 5 or 6. LOL

The start of Pokemon:

I did get Gameboy Advance in Christmas 2004 (Standard indigo one) and I only got Sonic X video gamepak. No games yet. I did get eventually few more games coming. In New Years Day 2005, at night, when my cousin was sleeping with us around the time, she and my younger sister found my older sister’s Gameboy Color, which has Pokemon Red in it! I saw my younger sister play it, and so I took a look at it, and remember how the game was played from the field trip. Since we have it, and having few Gameboy Games on our hands, it was just the beginning. We tried figuring out how the game works on our own for months while cycling other games to play on too. Well, one day, we had former friends who we hang with for a while, and we let them borrow few of our games. It was a bad idea because they had a little sister who takes them and get them lost. Pokemon Red was one of them, and having friends borrowing games was a bad idea, at least for me. They quickly found all the games but Pokemon Red, which took a week to find, and around the time before my birthday came, and they give it to me, and I finally was waiting to play it. Wow! It’s epic. A day later when it was my birthday, they give me Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire as a present, saying they found the game randomly in their house. So I played both games and had fun with it. Playing Red since then was my first true experience of playing Pokemon from start to finish, and it took me about a week or more to finish the game, after the league. That was the greatest start I had with Pokemon since that whole walkthrough introduced me to every main part of Pokemon games as a whole. Despite being in 2005 when Gen 3 was relevant, I started with Kanto, so it makes me look like I grew up in late 90s Pokemon if that makes sense. Well, a month later, I saw two random kids in the playground next to my house, playing Pokemon Yellow. I took a look at it, and wow, I didn’t even know they have Pikachu game. Well, I asked my parents to get Yellow for me, from ebay, and it took few days to arrive, and I got Yellow, and played Kanto all over again. My younger sister was curious how fun was Pokemon games, and she wants to play it. I give her Pokemon Red and let her start over the game. Yeah, anytime I play anyone’s Pokemon game, they always tell me, don’t start a new save. XD And makes sense, since there’s only one save file. In this case, I just let my sister start fresh, and she played it well just as good as I was. She played Red on my older sister’s GBC while I played Yellow on my GBA. We started watching Pokemon normally in March or April on Kids WB. We saw Johto League reruns on weekdays just after coming home from school, and Advance Challenge in Saturdays as new episodes. Later in July, I got Emerald, but a story. Well, I wanted to get it. We went to Best Buy to get Emerald, but there was no copies, so we had to wait for a few days. We went back again, and luckily, we got the last copy that day, and so me and my sister have been playing it. Well, while we had a little fuss about who gets to play it, we mostly had fun playing it. I remember we tried catching all Pokemon and finding hidden items. I also battled with my best friend with GBA link cables a few times, and also trade. Not only that, my first Pokemon movie was Destiny Deoxys when it first aired in Cartoon Network. I saw Jirachi, Heroes, Mewtwo, and Power of One in 2005. I saw the last two when I was in Costa Rica vacation, and also saw Chronicles, something I was unfamiliar with. Not only I got my sister get into Pokemon, but our friends we hang with at the playground, different kids outside the Yellow Version discovery, I also got them into Pokemon, and they became fans.

Funniest Pokemon Dream:

In October 2005, I had a dream involving Brawly and May, dating, and well, May farted on the date for five seconds, and it was done in a funny way and that was pretty odd but funny dream, and the fact that it was Brawly and May dating at Lumiose City lookalike. Here’s more about it here:

Pokemon Internet discovery and being a bigger fan:

In 2006 at February, I found a couple of Pokemon fan websites like Pokemon Palace Network, and Pokemon-Safari (Castilian Spanish) and I found out that Japan airs much newer episode and we were a year behind, due to time of translating. From there, that’s when I really mastered internet usage like so much!! All about Pokemon!! Not only that, but I also got Emulators around the time and played more Pokemon games I wasn’t able to get, and wow, that was a fun moment. I experienced Gen 2 and I wanted to play Crystal. I also got FireRed on GBA on my birthday 2006 when I became 12. It was a fun game. I liked FRLG, and also my sister got LeafGreen before I got FireRed. Well, I feel like I became a much bigger Pokemon fan around 2006, and told everything about it to my best friend, when he had no internet at home. I also discovered fan stuff like fan made cities with Pokemon Gen 3 Sprites and background, was called FakeTown in Neoseekers. I also found fanarts too. And as of sexual photos or fanart kissing, I said “Ewwwwwww……..” and thankfully, none of my parents or adults caught me encountering those out of context. Also, I discovered Trading cards and saw rare card photos online, and it was fun. I was keeping track on Diamond and Pearl. Due to my unhealthy obsession with the franchise when I was 12, I got GameCube with Pokemon Pikachu covers on the console, on Christmas 2006, and also everyone in my 6th grade and seven grade knows I was into Pokemon. Well, only a few had made fun of me for it, but a lot of them were really fine with it. In fact, a lot of them in my secondary school played them. I’ve seen kids in middle school played Pokemon, so I didn’t feel like I had to hide my interest as much, nor do I feel like hiding my interest on an innocent franchise was a good idea and just let it out, for the most part. In 2007, I played ROM hacks and discovered them. I wanted to play GBA type Johto games to see what they would’ve looked like in GBA style. They were fun, but a lot of ROM hacks at the time were not finished or abandoned. Regardless, they were fun. So from there, I really know more and more about Pokemon. Oh, and in early 2006, as I was playing RSE again, I got my first crush on a character. It was Flannery. Well, she seems pretty attractive, and it was when puberty just started. lol. I also had a small crush on May when I was 12-14, but I always liked Flannery and few other girls.

Afterwards:

Well, I really liked Pokemon stuff. Brock Family and Delicatty Chronicles episode were my favorite episodes, and so as Celebi and Joy, and Luvdisc. My favorite Pokemon was Skitty, and now Pachirisu. Favorite regions were Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. I got Yellow, Emerald, Diamond, Platinum, FireRed, SoulSilver, and Omega Ruby. I got the rest from emulators or just files for flashcards or via Custom Firmware. My favorite Pokemon Seasons are Indigo League and Advance Battle. Favorite Players are Red, Brendan, Lucas, Elio, and Victor. Kris, May, Hilda, Serena, and Gloria. My favorite Pokemon Villains are Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Lysandre, Guzma, Lusamine, and Piers (not really a villain, but part of Team Yell) XD. Favorite Rivals (non-playable) are Blue, Silver, Gladion, Hop, and Wally. My favorite characters overall are Ash Ketchum, Brock, Misty, Brendan and May (ORAS), Maxie and Archie, Flannery, BEA!!, Steven, Wallace, Olivia, Elesa, Lorelei, Leon, Nessa, Karen, Skyla, N, Piers, Raihan, Guzma, Korrina, Leon, Lusamine, Cynthia, Diantha, and Hilda. I do have a crush on the girls, mainly older ones like Flannery, Bea, and Elesa, and few more. Not only that, but I really started to make Pokemon videos since 2007 as Pokefan531. However, I really start to do them regularly since 2009 with iCarly Parody as Pokemon, PokeTori, and then MMD Iris videos and Randomness since 2013. We’ll get to Iris in a bit. If you asked if I played all Pokemon games, not really. Some spinoffs are finished, and some are not done, while few others I haven’t touched yet, like Pokemon Channel. Pokemon GO was pretty nice to see how it turned out. It was fun seeing the announcements of new Pokemon games, like Black and White, HGSS, ORAS, Sun and Moon, X and Y, and even Sword and Shield.

What’s my least likable things in Pokemon Canon?

Well, I just covered my thoughts on Best Wishes and Iris, and while that post was made for this post, I had to make it as its own separate post as it took quite big enough room. So here is the link:
https://www.deviantart.com/jonicito1994/journal/My-thoughts-on-Best-Wishes-all-along-871961935

What didn’t I get into yet?

I haven’t read PokeSpe yet, but a lot of people recommend me to get into the series, and from what I heard, its fandom on the PokeSpe is the most interesting one of all. That’s what I’ve been told. I plan to play Pokken Tournament DX too once I get the game for the Switch. I really need to see Twilight Wings, and I keep forgetting to see it. I already saw Pokemon Generations, and TW is the next one I should watch. The last thing I could think of is seeing all the important episodes of Journeys and see my favorite characters on screen like Bea and Leon. Although I don’t plan on seeing the series regularly as Journeys has its favoritism on Kanto for some reason, but I’ll get into the nostalgia pandering later. I know I’m missing out a couple of things but those are the list I want to see it myself.

Have I ever replay the games or did Nuzlocke?

I recently did my journey of replaying all Pokemon games, with Quality of Like hacks from PokeCommunity and use an emulator. It’s better to play it that way to fast forward the game and to have some a bit challenging gameplay from the QoL hacks by having opponents be higher levels. So far I played Perfect Red, GS 97 hack, Polished Crystal, and Perfect Emerald. Some of them add more trainers and also no trade evolutions and have at least all Pokemon obtainable. I mostly hae few Pokemon in the party with at least one more for HM Slave. I only completed the main story of it, and at times, finish the side quest found from QoL hacks. Next is FireRed, and not sure what to pick. So far, doing this journey is brilliant idea and to revisit the games. I plan on playing Platunim, SoulSilver, BW 1 and 2, X, and Ultra Moon. I already finished Sword couple months ago, and I am already doing Let’s Go Eevee, though pretty slowly at the moment, but not a part of the Pokemon Marathon. As for Nuzlocke, I tried twice, and once in FireRed with FireRed Generations hack, and I stopped playing it when my college course started and forgot about it, and I don’t have the save anymore, and I didn’t finish it or plan to. Also my second time with Polished Crystal four years ago on my other youtube channel, I just lost and decide to switch out from Nuzlocke. It’s much too challenging for me.

So what am I doing right now in Pokemon?

Besides doing my marathon, I make MMD videos of Pokemon regularly. I just put up Randomness 11 as a celebration for the 25th anniversary of the franchise. I still enjoy seeing Pokemon content in discord servers, telling others my favorite characters, and share our headcanons and stories. I made two videos for Pikapika-2000’s randomness video as part of the collab. So I got more interaction with others online since June 2019, but it took off more a year later. From having a Best Friend to two neighborhood friends, to couple of others in my school and college, and to online friends who I started talking with. Yeah, I have a reason why Pokemon is my favorite franchise and fandom, and always seeing its content everyday, moreso than other shows, movies, or games I’m really into, as of now.

What about the bad or concerning side of the fandom?

Well, it’s gonna be a small page of me explaining my thoughts overall, but I just want to list everything that the franchise took me into, and pretty much all positives, so I decide to leave the bad side of the fandom with other fandoms I need to discuss that are more serious and why some other ones are harder for me than Pokemon one. Short, there’s always bad sides of each fandom, but since my friends have told me about this a couple of times, I just need to  feel to put my thoughts, and I’m gonna acknowledge it instead of a sad post about it, and explain why it isn’t as surprising for me, so tune in for a small post.

Overall:

Yes, getting into Pokemon since the beginning of 2005 was the biggest impact of my life, with all of the activities I’ve done. It seems to still be giving good quality content despite recent years focusing on quantity. Also thanks for reading the entire post about how I got into Pokemon. Happy Belated Pokemon Day!
