Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that on top of Genlocke I've decided to start streaming again over on Twitch! No YT isn't stopping and won't be going anywhere, i just want to try and grow an audience over there as well as in YT. I'll mainly be doing variety content over there (lately been doing wwe 2k25) I also will be uploading the mods on YT but on a separate channel than here in the main YT. Link to be shared later. I don't plan on having that as a second channel but morso a place to rewatch those streams on Twitch or a place where those who missed it or don't want on Twitch can rewatch them.
Anyways if yall wanna follow me on Twitch please do so! Hoping to be monitozed there in a few weeks! We're already halfway there hahaha.

Thank you all for the support! I'll see you guys soon!

alright time for some real talk. Please take a moment to read:
As many of you all know and can see, I have not been live much in the last month. Besides Sly Cooper with Angie.
And, well there's a reason. I last said i was taking a break. And while that was true, and still is, I've realized that I have been hiding. I want to stream and make content but I've been burnt out by it. I've loved playing Sly Cooper with Angie these last few months. And it's made me realize that I love variety. I love playing games and not feeling like I'm forced to do one thing and one thing only. Don't get me wrong, i love pokemon and will still play it. There's challenges, videos, series and more I wanna do with Pokémon. But it also brings me to now.
I don't wanna just be a Poketuber. And I've felt like I've been just doing that for a while now. And focused on what the algorithm likes. Because let's be honest, the algorithm sucks and basically poisoned our minds. I've realized that while yes I still wanna treat YT as a second job, and possibly in the long future a full time job, I'd rather enjoy what I'm playing and streaming instead of feeling forced to do something I don't enjoy. Or even worse end up quitting YT all together because I've thought about it if I'm being honest. I've had some serious discussions with my mods, fellow streamers, and Angie. And I think it's time to change things up. It's time to focus on what I wanna do. Not what the algorithm wants. I wanna play other games. I wanna go back to when I first started streaming and did KH, Spyro, and Minecraft. Hell I looked back, and besides the games I've done with Angie (Last Guardian & Sly Cooper) the last non pokemon game I played was Spiderman back in 2022 and then Lego Star Wars. It's been almost 2 years since a non pokemon series. And while yes, ScarVi, PLA, Insurgence, Infinite Fusions, Mastermode and Glazed was fun and all, and I did enjoy all those games, I just don't have motivation to do more Pokémon as often anymore.
I wanna play other games other than Pokémon. Games I've played before and wanna play again, as well as games I've never played before.
I have a better schedule now with my new job and wanna come back and be able to enjoy what I'm putting out, even if it's not what the algorithm likes or wants. I used to watch Youtubers growing up who did variety LPs and I wanna do that. I wanna bring it back. I wanna have fun. Again I've loved what I've done but it's time for a change. It's time to go back to the old routes again. It's time to just play games again.
So that's what I'm going to do.
Thank you all so much for the support. And thank you all for the continued support.
With that being said. I'll be back soon. I promise you guys that.
Much love, keep being awesome and until next time!

Hello friends! I have an exciting announcement to make! Next Saturday (Feb 10) we start our new live series! I will be doing a Pokémon Platinum Mastermode! What is a Mastermode you ask? Basically it's a nuzlocke where every 10 minutes I have to do a different challenge submitted by you guys!
So this is where I'm asking you guys to submit some challenges! Can be anything you want that you think of! As long as it's not "auto kill Pokémon if it lands here"
But it can be something like "only use baby form Pokémon for the next 10 minutes"
I also ask you to give consequences if I fail the challenging as well as rewards if i succeed!
I won't be limiting the amount of challenges to submit but try to not go over crazy to allow others to submit some.
I'm excited to try this out!
Also there will be donation incentives as well to also mess with things, but since I know not everyone can donate, giving a challenge here will be the best way to allow anyone to join in!
Let's see what you guys have in store!

a little announcement and thank you:

2023 was definitely a slow year for content. In fact it was my slowest year since I started in 2019.

I only produced 2 videos and half a series. I only streamed 100 days.

I had some great moments this year for sure. But I'm definitely excited for what 2024 has in store for me.

We played some fun games live, from Infinite Fusions to Luminescent Platinum. Tried Glazed for the first time. And even both ScarVi's DLC stories.
Angie showed me Last Guardian, and I played The Walking Dead on my free time.

Next year though we have lots of games planned. Some Pokémon, some not.

I have lots of ideas for both videos, recorded series, and stream series in 2024. I'm definitely able to dedicate more time now into planning ideas. And I'm excited to hopefully get them out to yall.
Some of my biggest ideas yet are coming soon. Don't know when but sometime soon

Although the end of the year goals wearnt all reached, Im very happy with what we did this year. And I hope to do even more next year!

Thank you all for the support this year! I know it wasnt a ton, but stay tuned! 2024 will be a great year and I'm so excited! I hope you are too!

For now, Happy New Years!


Here's to an awesome year and the future! Love your all!

Hey guys. I meant to post this yesterday but i forgot. I'm going to be taking a hiatus from streaming for the next week.

Its with great sadness I announce that my grandmother passed away yesterday after a hard battle. It's a hard time right now for my family, but we know she's no longer suffering and struggling health wise.

She may not have been my grandmother by blood, as a step grandmother, but she treated us like we were her own. These last 13 years with her was special. But we know it was time for her to go home and no longer suffer.

With that being said, I thank you all for the support, prayers and messages sent these last few weeks. Content/streams are going to be on a hiatus the next week(s) so i can be with family.
Thank you all for understanding 💙

Hey guys! So yes I know I said I'd be live this week after taking a week off for AWA, but unfortunately I've gotten real sick. Been sick since Wednesday. I don't know what it is, I tested negative for covid twice and now waiting for another test to come back sometime today hopefully. With that being said though, until I'm feeling better enough to stream and talk without coughing my head off, streams are on hold until further notice. I apologize for the hold up again, but we'll be back before you know it. Gonna take the next few days to recover and rest up as much as possible so hopefully next week we are good to go again! Thanks for understanding and thank you for your patience with content these last few weeks. ScarVi is 2 weeks away and I cannot wait to share my experience with you guys on release day! So yeah that's all i got for now. I'll see you guys soon. Much love everyone and thank you for understanding
