Hi there 👋 you can call me JJ. I'm a big Pokémon fan, and have been since 1998. I've played most of the games, and love collecting the TCG(even though I have only ever played the TCG via the old Gameboy game 😅)
I also love gaming, and have some content of that on the channel, as well as some music creations!

Thank you for helping the channel become a channel at all; the continued viewing, comments, likes, and shares help inspire me to create more content.

All editing on this channel is done by me. I work diligently to provide the best quality editing to my current level of knowledge and the tools available to me.

This is the AMV edit that I made for the last Pitch Black video that was posted! Let me know what you think of the edit. I enjoy the editing process(the real challenge is getting aroind copyright issues 😅)

Getting really tired of these Asshats at ShoPro trying to claim everything under the sun that has Pokémon in it 🙄
I uploaded a short of an AMV intro that I made for a video, and they claimed 20 seconds of it; ironically, the section they claimed even has parts edited out.
This is utter bull; because, I had first uploaded the original edit to see if it would get claimed(which it did), so I edited it even more and re-uploaded it and it didn't get a copyright claim anymore(which is the exact same edit version as this one which is getting claimed now!!)...
Screw ShoPro 🤬 lying idiots. The media has been significantly transformed into an entirely different media and shouldn't be allowed to be claimed anymore!
I've submitted a dispute, but who knows when they'll even check. Usually, when people know they're wrong about a claim, they just leave it to fester for 30 days until it's automatically dropped by YouTube; just to make sure the video views get negatively affected.
Youtube needs to fix that problem, like by shortening the time allowed for a dispute to sit unanswered..
UPDATE EDIT: I literally just uploaded the exact same video as a long-form presentation, and it did not get copyright from ShoPro 😂🤣 what the actual f@ck YouTube‽‽

Finally, I got around to reorganizing my posters and setting up some shelf displays for the background of the facecam!
This setup won't appear in the next four uploads, as those were recorded and edited in advance; but, it will be the new background in future uploads, after the next 4 videos.
Not feeling well, today, and had to take the day off from work, but wanted to share this exciting update.
Take care of yourself, and much love.

Youtube has decided that starting February of 2027, they will be reverting the Partner Program requirements back to 1000 subscribers, and 8000 watch hours.
Anyone who is already part of the Partner Program before then will remain as they are and be "grandfathered" in.
I'm currently struggling with getting 50 more subs to reach the current benchmark of 500, and having lost my previous 3000 hours required; meaning I have to restart that milestone and am sitting at just under 1000 watch hours 😮‍💨 meaning, I now have half a year in order to reach the current requirements before the goal post moves.
It feels daunting, and I'm sure there are many who are in the same position as I, and who feel as though they are being rushed now. So, we'll see what the future brings for the channel. But if monetization isn't reached before February, then I may call it quits on creating content for this channel 😞
As it is, I have poured very many hours into editing, and spent more money than I should have on buying Pokémon packs for content, not to mention the countless hours of grinding gameplays on stream.
Sometimes, I feel as though the effort I put into editing is all for naught; because, I could just play a game that gets more views and watch time than all of the videos I spend days editing.. Although, I do enjoy editing, it can feel disheartening to put so much time into it for so little views and likes. So, I guess I'm at a crossroads right now deciding if it's worth it or not.
For the time being, nothing changes; the channel will still keep on, and we'll see how things go by 2027.
If you made it this far, I appreciate your time, and I hope you're doing well today.
Much love, and take care of yourself 💯

Haven't felt great lately, so I haven't dome amy streams. But hoping to soon get back to it, as RDR2 has been enjoyable to get back into and share with you all.
We've spent about 240 hours on gameplay for this game alone, which equals to about 10 straight days of playtime 🤯 wow
Much love, and I hope you're taking care of yourselves 💯 have a wonderful day, or night!
