Subathon on Twitch! Right now!

Doing a subathon on Twitch right now! Since there was a lot of travel this past month, my support for April is a bit low. On top of that, I am looking to get a better split from Twitch, and that can only be done by having a consistent amount of subs for a period of time. The stream will be at least 2 hours long with new subs adding time (max time being 12 hours total).

Pokémon Black 2 Nuzlocke - This Friday!

This Friday we'll be streaming our first ever Nuzlocke! This was the $1,500 monthly goal we hit back in December! This will begin at 4PM CST on Friday and we'll have a vote for the first starter. 

The rules are posted currently in #twitch in Slack. If you'd like to suggest rules or help shape the way the game is played, please feel free to jump over to #twitch to add comments to the page. 

Fail or succeed on this Nuzlocke, we will then try to complete the PokéDex in this game ...

S20E14 Getting to Know You!

Irene and Steve talk about the differences in Vuplix, how kids act, and how this was the longest the anime took to hatch an egg!! 

Moments after Lillie’s Pokémon Egg hatches into an Ice-type Alolan Vulpix named Snowy, the Egg that Principal Oak has been caring for hatches into a Fire-type Vulpix from Kanto! The whole class thinks Lillie should be Snowy’s Trainer, and Snowy agrees—but Lillie will have to get over her fear of touching Pokémon.

Irene is Streaming Tonight/Tomorrow

Hey All, 

I am about to jump on a flight to PAX, but Irene will be streaming on my channel tonight and tomorrow starting at 7PM CST both nights. If you need someone to hang out with these next couple of nights, Irene would love to hang out. She will be shiny hunting both streams and very excited about the hunts she has planned. 

You can watch here tonight: twitch.tv/pkmncast

S20E13 Racing to a Big Event!

Irene and I talk about pancakes and how expensive breakfast can be. We also talk about talking with Craig, from Craigslist. 

Ash and Pikachu decide to join the Pokémon Pancake Race! The prize of a year’s supply of free pancakes catches Team Rocket’s interest, and Meowth builds a robot that looks like Bewear to enter the race. Nina, the defending champion, is competing with her Alolan Raichu, who quickly strikes up a rivalry with Pikachu.

New Emotes

New emotes are now available in Slack. These are the same emotes that will be used for Twitch subscribers (when Partnership arrives), but they are now for all of you guys!

Let me know if you have feedback!

Twitch Partnership

Hey all! 

So within the next week I should be able to apply for Twitch Partnership! This is really exciting because being a Twitch Partner, as well as, doing this podcast should be able to sustain me as a full-time content creator. 

There are some stats in #twitch about what the numbers are we need to hit, but the short of it is that this week is the most important week to stop on in and view. If we can hit ~75 viewers every day this week, we should be a shoe-i...

2018 January Update!

Hey all,

Lots of updates, so I'll try to keep this organized and easy to follow! First off, thank you for a fantastic 2017. We accomplished a lot including a lot of great interviews, traveling to two PAXs, traveling to Pokemon GO Fest, another year speaking at C2E2 and another room at MGC. 

2017 had a bunch of ups and downs, including me being unemployed, but I have been working hard to make ISE more than just a podcast now.

Quick Update!

Hi all!

With the announcement of my losing my job, Patreon grew by adding 70+ new people almost hitting $1500 a month. Wow! It's really the most humbling thing in the world to see the growth there. 

Minor update on life.... I am still job hunting. I had two interviews in the past week, and I was "over qualified" for both, so the hunt continues. As I stated before, I will continue on streaming and making content because of the free-time I have. Thank you everyone who ...
