Your next Pokemon adventure begins here!

GlaxonXIII:

My name is GlaxonXIII. And this is my Pokemon story.

WELL DONE! Yes, let's go! Well done! Will I be able to do it? Let's see! That's it, you did it! Thank you! Well done, Thank you for watching!

David Hernandez:

Welcome to As The Pokeball Turns, where every voice, every journey, and every memory brings us closer to the world of Pokemon. My name is David Hernandez, and today I'm joined by a passionate creator, teacher by day and streamer by night, recognized as the notable trainer by The Pokeball Company and known for his shiny hunts, hot takes, and signature backwards cap. This is GlaxonXIII Welcome to As The Pokeball Ball Turns.

GlaxonXIII:

It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much for inviting me. I can't wait to do this with you. Congrats on such an awesome show, man. I've listened to a couple episodes, so, thank you so much for having me on, man.

David Hernandez:

Thank you. And I'm always kind of humbled when people say that'cause I'm like, I don't know what to say like this. Like just thank you. That's really all I can say. And I'm always appreciative for people who listen to the show. I don't know why y'all listen to me for so long, but thank you as always. But because I have a lot of guests, you know, I've done so many episodes, they always call themselves a weeb. Like they take that with pride. You are the Hmm. You call yourself a fake weep. What is I do. hilarious or surprising moment that kind of made you earn that title?

GlaxonXIII:

So when I first started, my creator journey, I was actually playing Kingdom Hearts and other square annex JGs, but I don't watch anime at all. so a lot of my, my viewers, my community members would like jab about. Anime and I'd have nothing to add to the conversation. So, that sort of group kind of meshes usually very well. The JRPG community and then the anime community. I'm not part of the anime community. I just love video games and Japanese video games. I don't watch anime. I just don't.

David Hernandez:

Is,

GlaxonXIII:

So, um.

David Hernandez:

why, like, you just don't like the style or you just never appealed to you kind of thing?

GlaxonXIII:

I mean, it just, yeah, it just never really, there's so much and it's so intimidating, like, to get into it as late as I would have, you know, it's just didn't. didn't have the time, to commit really to anything. So like the stuff from the C child, my childhood, like Pokemon and Ugi and Dragon Ball, like I watched those, but like you get into like more of the adult animes. No, I'm, I, I never got into this.

David Hernandez:

I mean you mentioned like some of the classics, like you go in Dragon Ball and of course Pokemon, which is why you're here. I

GlaxonXIII:

Right.

David Hernandez:

was those kind of shows you for you growing up?

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, that was like instant wake up Saturday, turn on like WB or Cartoon Network, wherever Pokemon was playing. That's what I had. That's, that was on in the background all day long. that's just like where the love started. I was a Gen Warner. I'm showing my age, but I was there for the start of it. I was the core demographic that Pokemon,

David Hernandez:

I mean, what was it about Pokeball anime, I guess what you call it. I know you don't call yourself a weed, but you know The Pokeball cartoon. What was it about that that you remember that kind of got you hooked at that early part? Oh,

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, just like seeing how Pokemon could be outside of battling was like like just really cool to me in that generation, because you know, nowadays in a lot of the more recent generations, they, they perform things outside of battle, but that was not a thing in Gen one. So seeing Pokemon and people like coexist in the show was like really cool to me. So that was. Definitely what grabbed me into the show, but now it's just become like commonplace, to see that stuff happening in the games and the shows and whatever, so.

David Hernandez:

I know you say you don't watch the anime, obviously, and you're part of The Pokeball community.'cause you know, you, we'll talk more about it later. You're a Pokemon

GlaxonXIII:

Mm-hmm.

David Hernandez:

uh, Pokemon Streamer I should say.

GlaxonXIII:

Mm-hmm.

David Hernandez:

kind of feel the pressure from your audience to kind of di tip your toes into anime side of things? Or do you kind of just it and say like, that's just not for me at this point?

GlaxonXIII:

so I do get a lot of people referencing things that are happening in the anime. and I have, again, not much to add to that conversation, but, I'm on their socials. I see clips of things all the time, you know, without watching the full show. so, you know, I have a, a somewhat clear understanding. Like I know what kind of like story arc points are happening, but I'm just not watching it happen in, in real time, you know? so like I'm very tuned in to what's happening on the show, and the Japanese version is like three seasons ahead of the English version anyway, so like, you're seeing it all happening.

David Hernandez:

fair

GlaxonXIII:

It's like

David Hernandez:

whether

GlaxonXIII:

whether you're watching it or not, you're, you're seeing things that are happening. So.

David Hernandez:

I guess to get you more acclimated to something you're more, familiar with. You talked about how you Gen Warner so It sounds like you played the games where you collected the cards. What did that kind look like when you started transitioning to those?

GlaxonXIII:

it was kind of like a boom, like, suddenly it was everywhere. and I wanted to be a part of it. So like anytime we would go get milk from like a seven 11 somewhere, I had to leave with a pack of cards, you know?

David Hernandez:

Really?

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, that was like, how, that was, like how it was, A lot of people don't know this, but when it first came out, the way you got Pokemon cards was not from a card shop, it was from seven 11 or like, quick mark where as you're checking out, they just have a booster box sitting on the counter

David Hernandez:

just

GlaxonXIII:

just pull a pack out and you get like individual packs that way. Obviously if you were an adult in that time, you could probably find booster boxes somehow some way. But like I was not an adult during that time, so I didn't know how that process worked.

David Hernandez:

I remember something similar'cause I would always go to the Walmart and for

GlaxonXIII:

Mm-hmm.

David Hernandez:

they always put The Pokeball cards with the cigarettes and so it was like a little room next to the carts and that's where you had to get The Pokeball cards. They had like a behind a glass case, I guess. They said they wanted both

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, I was like locked up. Yeah.

David Hernandez:

yeah. Yeah. So that's how I remember getting the cards too. It sounds very similar.

GlaxonXIII:

It's crazy how we've come full circle.'cause now they're behind glass containers again.

David Hernandez:

need me behind vault at this point.

GlaxonXIII:

God, it's like a invisible fence. Shock collars on everybody that goes in the store.

David Hernandez:

limit. It's

GlaxonXIII:

it's bad. It's terrible out there.

David Hernandez:

need, really needs to limit one but box, but

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah.

David Hernandez:

But I guess you said you were buying the cards at that point. were there any kind of cards that stuck to your mind or were you trying to like just collect them all? Like what was that

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, I.

David Hernandez:

for you? I was

GlaxonXIII:

I was collecting anything and everything that had Pokemon on it. I have like a very vivid memory of, a card called Shining Steelix. It was like one of the first shiny cards. and I loved that it was like a gold Steelix and my friend like convinced me to trade him for something and was definitely like looking back on it was not worth the trade at all.

David Hernandez:

And a

GlaxonXIII:

A month later, I pulled it again,

David Hernandez:

So

GlaxonXIII:

so I got it back anyway,

David Hernandez:

Do you still have

GlaxonXIII:

so yeah, it was, it was insane. I, I ended up pulling two of them, but I only have one to speak of, so.

David Hernandez:

that's one more than a lot of other people. That's gotta be kind of

GlaxonXIII:

Exactly. So I feel bad if anybody was collecting, I'm sorry, I got two of them.

David Hernandez:

But one's with a friend though. So it's not like you have

GlaxonXIII:

Right,

David Hernandez:

at the, with you at some

GlaxonXIII:

exactly. Right.

David Hernandez:

does that Steelix still hold kind of memories too? Like you still look back on it and still remember that times.

GlaxonXIII:

Oh yeah. I mean, anybody who was collecting back then, it's kind of hard because again, we were kids. We, we were lucky if we put them in sleeves, if we would,

David Hernandez:

if

GlaxonXIII:

if we were organizing'em, if we didn't just throw'em in a box somewhere. Like we did not have, I mean, I'm speaking for myself, I guess here, but, I did not have the, the sight of like how much these would be worth in the future. so I didn't really take the best care of a lot of mine, but I did have binders, so I actually still have a childhood binder of all my good hollow cards. I've gotten some of them graded, but a lot of them are still sitting in binders, so hopefully not the worst, uh, you know, condition.

David Hernandez:

Well, I mean obviously the TCG still stayed with you, so let's stick with that for a bit.

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah.

David Hernandez:

like about the trading card, specifically about Pokemon, and you forget about the scalpers, just forget about that in general, what do you

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah.

David Hernandez:

The Pokeball card aspect that's kept you engaged on that side?

GlaxonXIII:

Okay, so I played the game a little bit when I was a kid. but I don't play as much anymore. that is why I'm so thankful for things like TCG Live and Pocket right now. it makes it so much more accessible, but I still find myself collecting the cards for the art. I did not appreciate the art when I was a kid. but now it's like you see these again. What really drew me in was like how these creatures interacted with their world and the people in the world with them. That's what drew me to Pokemon. And you know, when you see these, the art of these Pokemon doing Pokemon things, like, it's just cool to see the stories that the creators are building around them or the artists are creating around these Pokemon, So I'm really, I'm really interested in, in collecting, certain artists I'm interested in collecting, all the rarest cards just because, you know, I'm a shiny hunter. I like rarity. I mean, that's just like My thing. So, but yeah, I could appreciate some common cards as well. But, uh, I know I know a lot of people that collect Koori cards, which is the artist that does the clay models. so yeah, I mean there's just a lot to appreciate in the TCG, uh, as an adult that you just didn't really, as a kid, as a kid you're looking for your favorites or you're just trying to get'em all, you know, like the whole thing was gotta catch'em all. So

David Hernandez:

Took that

GlaxonXIII:

we took that very seriously.

David Hernandez:

Uh,

GlaxonXIII:

Uh,

David Hernandez:

do to this day sometimes. Yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

exactly right. We are still on the prowl. We gotta get'em all.

David Hernandez:

It kind of,

GlaxonXIII:

So,

David Hernandez:

me of a dark slow bro in a way. Um, that's always been my car to wear. I didn't care for it that much because it's like the one with the neon glow green and the steam rock in the

GlaxonXIII:

yeah.

David Hernandez:

But I kind of appreciated it more as I got older. I was like, why is it green? Kind of question. That's what,

GlaxonXIII:

Right,

David Hernandez:

I asked that question, why is it green? It could have been blue, it could have been purple, it could have been anything but green.

GlaxonXIII:

right.

David Hernandez:

I appreciate more of the vintage cards'cause you know, that's what I grew up with and especially the art nowadays is just incredible. Like just seeing

GlaxonXIII:

Oh my gosh. Getting full arts. I could never imagine,

David Hernandez:

Well, I wanted

GlaxonXIII:

you know?

David Hernandez:

of artists do you collect by?'cause you said you look for artists specifically, which ones do you collect and

GlaxonXIII:

Um.

David Hernandez:

a reason. What's the reason why I, how did you say

GlaxonXIII:

I'm a huge fan of Kda because he's, he's more recent to the TCG, but, his art is so cool. it's just, it's very different. Like if you see a card, you know, oh, that's kda, and Koori is obviously a, a classic. and she's been working with them for a long time, so. If you gotta collect those cards, you're, you're gonna be in it for the long haul. They, they don't like move on from artists as much. and also you gotta give it to the goat, uh, ARITA, the OG OG Charizard artist,

David Hernandez:

now going back to the game side of things, you know, you were collecting TCG, what did the video game side of your journey look like?

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, I was, I was there for all of it. So cards, games, merch, bedsheets, you know, you name it. I was there for all of it. Video games, not the least of which, I mean,

David Hernandez:

was,

GlaxonXIII:

I was, one of those kids that got both. I got red and blue,

David Hernandez:

Oh,

GlaxonXIII:

and I actually still have'em. They're actually sitting next to me. I have my red and blue cartridges sitting right next to. Oh yeah. Yep. My childhood cartridges are sitting right next to me. I, I love them, man. I was all over it. one of my, one of my coolest thing one day I like strolled into like second grade and they had those like Game boy carrying cases. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but like, it was like a sling bag, but just for a game boy. And I I walked in with my line green and had a Pikachu stitched onto it. And I came in there and I like ripped off the Velcro and started playing my game Boy, and everybody flocked over to see what the heck I was doing. Uh, it was, it was the coolest I have ever felt. so I was, I was all over the video games, man. That's,

David Hernandez:

opposite. I was always worried somebody was gonna take it or it was gonna get confiscated from the teacher. So I always kept

GlaxonXIII:

you know what? That's fair.

David Hernandez:

Yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

That's totally fair. But yeah, I did not have any trouble strutting my stuff, so

David Hernandez:

After the original initial launch of Pokemon, did you keep going, like into Johto, the Hoenn? Like what did that look like?

GlaxonXIII:

You know, that's a great, point here because, talking about my Pokemon story, right? Like I was all over gen one. I was all over gen two, gen three, gen four. As soon as Gen five came out, I was at that age where I was like. This ain't for me anymore. That's for little kids, you know?

David Hernandez:

gen

GlaxonXIII:

five and gen six, I had a very tough time getting into, I've since then, you know, gone back and played through them all, and five and six are some of my favorite generations. but yeah, gen five was really where it was like, you know what, that's for babies, you know?

David Hernandez:

Now was it kind of the age thing or just something with the games itself? Like what was

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, it was like, you know, you couldn't be seen like, you know, you couldn't be seen with a, a, a video game in high school. You know, like that was back when like being a nerd was bad. Now it's like, being a nerd is really cool. It's the in thing, right? So, yeah, yeah, no, it was, it was definitely like a social thing. It was not really, I still like Pokemon. I still had Pokemon things. I still played the old games, but. upfront, you couldn't see me playing Pokemon at that age, during that generation,

David Hernandez:

when you went back to play'em, I guess A, what led you to do that?'cause it could have been easy just to overlook it, but B,

GlaxonXIII:

right?

David Hernandez:

what was the. impression that those games left on you.'cause you said they're some of your favorites.

GlaxonXIII:

Oh yeah. So, um, I forget what year it was, 2019. You could fact check me, when, let's go. Pikachu and Eevee came out, That is when I first started getting back into streaming. and, that was like what I wanted to stream. I was like, man, I, I, I should revisit Pokemon. And I was like, gen one remake. So I was like, you know what? Yeah, this is, this is cool for me. and then I went back and played the ones that I had missed. it was because I started streaming and becoming friends with people that were really into Pokemon. Like I was, that I was like, you know what? I missed out on a lot. Lemme go back. because when I was in college, that's when it was cool to be a Pokemon fan again. so that's when like Gen seven came out. So I was playing gen seven. I got those when they came out. And obviously Sword and Shield and, and Scarlet Violet. I never got to play black and white or x and Y. as soon as I fell back in love with Pokemon, I was like, you know what? I gotta fall in love with the whole thing. And I sure did. And it was before they were like hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get my hands on. Uh,

David Hernandez:

a little cheaper Back in the days. Yeah. Oh

GlaxonXIII:

God. Yeah. It was a lot easier to get my hands on. So I picked some up and went to town with my old Ds and I was like, dude, this is, how did I skip this? it was just, it was such a social thing, you know, like my generation has been through all of it, the rise of Pokemon, the like dip in Pokemon and the rise again. You know, it's just been a crazy ride.

David Hernandez:

Now, you said you got into streaming in 2019. What made you want to start streaming on Twitch and even more so Pokemon?

GlaxonXIII:

So I had actually been on the, news team of a very popular Kingdom Hearts news website. kingdom Hearts happens to be on my favorite game of all time, like, sorry, Pokemon. I joined the news team. I was like one of the first people to report, Big Hero six being in Kingdom Hearts three. I got to, go to E three, three years in a row representing that news website. back when E three was in person, just to report on Kingdom Hearts, three and 2.8. I was deep in it, so I was streaming that sort of stuff. And then got to a point where like Kingdom Hearts was not releasing any new games, and then after Kingdom Heart three came out, I was like, okay, what do I stream now? So like January 2nd, 2019, kingdom Hearts three was like all that I was playing. And then in February and then March and then April, and I was like, okay, I'm bored of this. And then let's go. Pikachu. Evie came out and I was like, you know what? Let's stream that. I love Pokemon, right? And the rest is history. I did not stream any more Japanese role playing games after that.

David Hernandez:

You know, so you got the whole Kingdom heart experience. You got to go E three year, three years in a row. You're a streamer. You're one of them cool teachers, aren't you?'cause I'm trying to wonder how you're still a teacher at this point.

GlaxonXIII:

I was a teacher, uh, starting 2016. So yeah, I did have a job at that point. Yes.

David Hernandez:

saying, like it just seems like you, are you like one of the cool teachers? Like, oh my gosh, this teacher, he streams like, do they, does your students

GlaxonXIII:

I mean, you're gonna have to ask the kids that I, I mean, I'd like to think so, but, you know,

David Hernandez:

I wasn't

GlaxonXIII:

I feel like I'm a little biased.

David Hernandez:

your kind of escapades and stuff you do on the side, or do you kinda keep

GlaxonXIII:

Uh, you know what, unfortunately, yes, they do. And you know, they're, they're 14. I teach 14 year olds.

David Hernandez:

worse. Yeah,

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, exactly. So like they're the ripe age, like where they would be all over Twitch and, and TikTok and all that stuff. So it's hard being a teacher creator. It is, uh, you feel like there's no separation of work and, and home and stream. It's all connected. So it's very, yeah, it's very frustrating at times. But, um, but yeah, they do, they do appreciate it. The, the ones that aren't jerks about it. They appreciate it and, and they think it's really cool. one of my philosophies of teaching is that kids don't learn from people they don't like. so I try to be likable. I don't try to, you know, be that guy so, so to speak.

David Hernandez:

you nicer than me. I'd rather be that guy. If they're gonna hate me, I

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah.

David Hernandez:

they give'em a good impression.

GlaxonXIII:

You know what I mean? That, you know, sometimes you gotta, you gotta flip the coin a little bit, so. Uh, you know, I have sides and they know that I, and they know that. So they choose what side of me they get. So,

David Hernandez:

Well, let's dive into your favorite Pokemon. So what is your favorite Pokemon? Why?

GlaxonXIII:

So my first favorite Pokemon ever was Tangela.

David Hernandez:

That is such an

GlaxonXIII:

I like to call'em TT Lansbury. I made, like my first ever email address was Tangela, blah, blah, blah.

David Hernandez:

The only one who probably made their name.

GlaxonXIII:

I, yes, probably, I don't think I even needed the, the numbers afterwards. I think I would've been safe with just that. but he was my first favorite just because of the mystery behind him. Like, what the heck is under the vines? You know?

David Hernandez:

Okay. I could see that. Okay.

GlaxonXIII:

Um, but my current favorite, and I don't know when this change happened. But, Hitmonlee is my favorite, like ever. He will always be my number one. it will never change and it's just, it's been such a cool journey because when we were talking about cards,

David Hernandez:

One

GlaxonXIII:

one of the things I did during COVID was collect every single Hitmonlee card and existence

David Hernandez:

Oh,

GlaxonXIII:

in the TCG. No matter like what generation it came out, I looked them all up. I made sure I had'em all. And that is the beauty of having such an obscure Pokemon as your favorite.

David Hernandez:

it's

GlaxonXIII:

I was done in a week, like it was not hard at all. I was like, man, I'm gonna go on this huge journey where I collect every card. There was like 10, like oh.

David Hernandez:

10.

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, okay. All right. Well that was easy. Um.

David Hernandez:

For all the Eevee and Charizard lovers, cover your ears. You don't want to

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, yeah, please. No, I, I'm, I'm so sorry. Anybody whose favorite is a legendary, forget it. You know, like,

David Hernandez:

it's Reggie.

GlaxonXIII:

I don't have that problem,

David Hernandez:

then nobody cares about that one.

GlaxonXIII:

right? So, I mean, that's true. but no, it's just, ugh, it's been so cool, like to just have him as my favorite throughout all this. I don't think I've ever met a single other person whose favorite was Hitmonlee until I ran into a Twitter account. Called Hitmonlee Propaganda, I think is his handle, and all he does is just post Hitmonlee. Anything like fan art or, which is not very common or, uh, uh, clips from the anime that Hitmonlee is in or whatever like that is the only other person I feel like we are, we are bonded

David Hernandez:

I mean, how

GlaxonXIII:

by that.

David Hernandez:

of him only are there? There's like one or two

GlaxonXIII:

I feel like he posts the same thing every month, like.

David Hernandez:

There's not much out there. No.

GlaxonXIII:

there really isn't. And that's, that's the hard part. Like there's nothing really to collect about him. So it's kind of a bittersweet thing. I don't waste all my money, but there's also not much to, uh, collect, so.

David Hernandez:

Now you said you collected all the cards of him. Only do, do you

GlaxonXIII:

Mm-hmm.

David Hernandez:

idea, fa or a favorite, Hitmonlee card that kind of sticks out to you since you

GlaxonXIII:

Oh yeah. There's a promo, with like a Cracked Ice Hollow that they came out with.

David Hernandez:

what?

GlaxonXIII:

Yes. Can you believe that? So it's like.

David Hernandez:

That's why I'm surprised.

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, I know. It's, it's two of the same art, so it's the same exact art as the set that it was like referencing, but it has cracked hollow instead of, uh, nothing.

David Hernandez:

the one

GlaxonXIII:

So,

David Hernandez:

the, like the moon's like covering his leg kind of thing?

GlaxonXIII:

he's like mid air and his leg is back. Like he's going to kick something. He's like.

David Hernandez:

The moon's behind them.

GlaxonXIII:

There is a moon. Yes. But yeah, I don't know. I couldn't remember if it was like covering something, but yes, it is a nighttime sort of scenery. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Hitmonlee fan.

David Hernandez:

No, I'm looking it up right now. I'm not that good.

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, okay. Oh yeah. Yeah. So it The Cracked Ice one? Yeah. There's like two of them.

David Hernandez:

I really know every single Pokemon card in existence?

GlaxonXIII:

Dude. I was like really impressed with you. You could have fooled me, man. I was like, oh my gosh, David.

David Hernandez:

I would, no. I don't wanna wish that on myself. Actually, no, I don't

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah. No, that's too much.

David Hernandez:

That's cra. I never knew that. Hitmonlee had a promo card.

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah. And also there are some trainer cards, like I think a black belt sort of trainer card where Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are fighting in the background. So I collected that as well. And there's like a really old, like there's some Japanese only cards that I had to collect, but again, it was like, I found them very quickly. I'm, I'm surprised that somebody even had it for sale, like it was. It's not like it's hard to find. It's just like, who wants this? Who would list this?

David Hernandez:

yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

So I'm that guy. I'm the, I made that guy's day, I'm sure whoever it was.

David Hernandez:

Have you ever thought about doing the same thing for Tangela, since it seems like it also had f fond memories for you?

GlaxonXIII:

you know what, I've actually gotten a, a second favorite. I've moved on from Tangela. But I was just, I just thought it was funny that I had an email address that's Tangela out there. I probably, it probably still exists. I never deleted it. So, but my, my second favorite, speaking of like going back to these generations that I missed, I fell in love with Honedge, the Honedge line, and Aegislash line. when I became a, a shiny hunter that is my favorite shiny, Honedge is my clear, first favorite, shiny. So, fell in love with that thing immediately, so,

David Hernandez:

Well, what is it about the shiny Pokemon that you enjoy since we're already on this subject?

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, I mean, again, the rarity of it all. the stories, the excitement, the, the serotonin boost when you find one.

David Hernandez:

after a couple thousand tries.

GlaxonXIII:

It's, uh, yeah, it's just all of that together. And also I never really hunted before I started streaming on Twitch. so really sharing that with other people is the best part. That is why I shiny hunt. I truly, and like God bless those who do it, I truly don't understand those who shiny hunt off stream or like, while not being a creator. I don't know how you do it because the part that I love the most is sharing that moment with others and like being excited in front of other people, because that's just like what people love to see, you know? it's basically like what I explained my streams as, like, it's just chatting, but sometimes I yell when I find a,

David Hernandez:

just

GlaxonXIII:

just chatting stream. Otherwise, I mean, I'm not really playing a game. So that's, that's what I love to describe my streams as. Like we're just chatting, we're just, Hanging out until I scream and destroy your headphones. So,

David Hernandez:

It sounds like you enjoy the community aspect of shiny hunting.'cause usually most shiny hunters I've met, they like the. The prize of it, and you

GlaxonXIII:

yeah.

David Hernandez:

degree, but you enjoy more of the social aspect to where you get to stream to your viewers on Twitch and they get to kind of share in the moment with you. Is that kind of fair to

GlaxonXIII:

That is 100%. Yes. Yep. That is exactly what it is for, for me.

David Hernandez:

there

GlaxonXIII:

there's just something about

David Hernandez:

seeing

GlaxonXIII:

someone get that win after so long, you know? and I just love sharing that with people

David Hernandez:

what's the most, what's one of your most frustrating hunts that you remember?

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, I'm so glad you asked. So, my, stream is, is very notoriously known for a Pyukumuku hunt that I did in Sword and Shield in one fishing spot the entire game. There's one fishing spot where you can get Pyukumuku. Okay, now I'm a math guy. I don't know what, what, what subject you, you, you deal with, but. I'm a math guy. I'm a numbers guy. Okay? So there is a 25% chance of a Pyukumuku, There's a a 50% chance of Shellder and then like 10% of like Shellder or something else. I went, went through 14,000 casts

David Hernandez:

geez.

GlaxonXIII:

for a shiny Pyukumuku. so that is way over odds. Along the way, I found like four Shellders and then one 10% Cloyster, less than half of the chance of getting a Pyukumuku. So I, I, I got a Shiny of like the rarest thing in that spot, you think one every four casts you'd get a Pyukumuku. And it took me 14,000 casts to get one. So.

David Hernandez:

have been ecstatic when you finally got that.

GlaxonXIII:

Dude, it is by far my most hype reaction.

Oh, oh, oh my God. Oh my. Oh. No way. Oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa. Oh my God. No way, bro. It oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm shaking. Oh my God. I'm shaking. Oh my God. No way. No freaking way.

GlaxonXIII:

but I do have to share another story as a, as a shiny hunter. I have a lot of these.

David Hernandez:

it's

GlaxonXIII:

This is what I'm talking about, like the story behind it all right?

David Hernandez:

Yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

The fact that you could tell these stories later on about just random shiny Pokemon, right?

David Hernandez:

the pickle. Ball turns. That's it.

GlaxonXIII:

it, man. I'm telling you, everybody's story is so crazy. But, um, so when Sword and Shield came out, one of the first things I hunted for was Applin. Shiny Applin and I decided to do Masuda method for it because, it's very hard to find out in the wild. so in Sword and Shield there's really only two ways to hunt in the base game Before the DLC came out, which was either running into things in the wild or hatching eggs for it, that was it. so I hatched eggs for my Shawnee Applin, and as I was hatching it, the number kept climbing. I was at like 1500 something eggs, which is not good.

David Hernandez:

a little bit. Yeah,

GlaxonXIII:

Um. Again, yeah. Numbers. I don't know if anybody listening to this is a shiny hunter, but

David Hernandez:

usually one

GlaxonXIII:

one in five 12 is the, is the odds for a shiny using masuda method, which is using two different Pokemon from two different regions to breed. so it's named after ESI Masuda of course, but it got to 1500 eggs and on my stream. Now, David, imagine this on my screen, I have a little gif of the thing that I'm hunting. So on my stream overlay, you'll see a little gif of a shiny Applin just kind of rocking back and forth as like to show new people what I'm hunting, you know? so I had gotten to that point of delusion in the shiny hunt, which happens very frequently, where I was just like, looking for something to do, like blah, blah, blah. All these eggs are hatching, nothing's shining. So I decided to do a little like trick on my, on my community where I took that gif of the app, one that was sitting there. It was a shiny Applin, and I lined it up with a previous hatch and made it the exact same size and all that stuff so that when hatch. I can make it show up on screen and make it look like it was the shiny So I hatch the next egg and I go ahead and I'm like, oh my God. Look, it's shiny and it actually was the shiny

David Hernandez:

I, I,

GlaxonXIII:

I kid you not, there is a clip. We could show the clip. It is the most insane moment I think I've had. You know, you, you wanna try to call your shinies, you know, like, I'm gonna get this shiny here. Right. You try to call your shinies all the time. This was an unintentional call of a shiny, so yeah, it was really insane.

David Hernandez:

what are the chances of that literally

GlaxonXIII:

Exactly. Like it's just, I don't know what overcame me to do that, but

David Hernandez:

I

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah.

David Hernandez:

get it.'cause I've done some of the similar things with Pokemon Go, uh, not shiny. I said like, uh, one time I put it on chat. Oh, there's a hundo unknown.

GlaxonXIII:

Right.

David Hernandez:

or just like, there's a rare Pokemon somewhere and

GlaxonXIII:

Yep. And sure enough, yep.

David Hernandez:

it's kinda like that you just wanna cause a little chaos. So I can

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, I mean it's, it's the best part. So that, and again, you're at that point of delusion where, you know, anything would be entertaining at this point besides watching all these eggs hatch.

David Hernandez:

I mean, what motivates you to keep going?'cause that, you know, there's a point to where it's just like, I don't wanna say it doesn't become fun, but it's kind of becomes more frustrating at that point than it is

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, you got it. You gotta know when to take a break. You gotta know when to switch it up.

David Hernandez:

Okay. So

GlaxonXIII:

Um,

David Hernandez:

you don't just do full shiny hunts all the time? I, I do

GlaxonXIII:

I, I do mostly, yes, but, uh, I've streamed five days a week, which is a lot. so I don't want all those days to be Shiny Hunting. I'll get burnt out from it. but I'm currently working on a shiny living deck and I'm insanely close to finishing. so that's been the driving force for me. So that's what keeps me going is that I'm so close to a goal. So set goals is my first piece of advice. Set shiny hunting goals, That always helps me, and then always like, take a break. Like there's no shame in taking a break. The, the games will be there tomorrow. Just do something else to get your brain reset, you know?

David Hernandez:

I was wondering, so because you're so close to finishing it, what's one that you're excited to hunt? Is there like one that you're like, like your whale or one that you're looking forward to doing hunting that you haven't done

GlaxonXIII:

So unfortunately, um, um, I got I got into the shiny hunting game a lot later than a lot of people did. I. so unfortunately I got like all the easy ones.

David Hernandez:

oh, so you got the hard ones now.

GlaxonXIII:

So like really all that's left is like the stuff that has not really been easy to find. I mean as far like, there's a couple legendaries on there, but my whales right now are the sword and Shield fossils. I just can't bring myself to do them, but it's gotta get done, man. You know? So I'm just, it's part of me like kind of just holds out and waits to see if they're gonna be in the next game, you know, a little easier to hunt somewhere else. But, you know, that's the other cool thing about Shawnee hunting is that everybody wants to do it in different ways. some, I know there are people out there that are crazy enough to shiny hunt them in their generation. Like obviously gen one's a little harder. but, finding things from like Kalos in gen six's games, you know, like they won't find it elsewhere. me, I personally don't care at this point.

David Hernandez:

You just wanna get'em.

GlaxonXIII:

I'm

David Hernandez:

Like,

GlaxonXIII:

like, okay, just put'em in the home and I'll, I'll make it better later. But like, I just wanna see'em all in home. You know?

David Hernandez:

I was wondering,'cause you know, I know you play Pokemon Go and we're gonna touch on that. Do you consider the cheries you get from Pokemon Go legitimate for your collection? Or do you kind of try to get'em Mostly Main Series, only you.

GlaxonXIII:

You know what? I get this question a lot and, personally and everybody feels differently, and that's the beauty of it all right? So you don't have to agree with me. I mean, this is just how I feel. I mean, in my personal experience. Some of The Pokemon GO Shinies that I have, feel more, special than any others because I'm actually like, out in the world. You know what I mean? Like, I, I actually like spent time and money out in the real world to get some of these, I'm usually with friends. I'm like out there with other people. IRL, you know. So I feel like yeah, I, I, they do, I would like them personally when I do get to that point in my shiny living Dex to not have that g stamp in Pokemon Home. but for the mean, like for the meantime. Yeah. Uh, it is fine. I, I, I love playing Pokemon Go. It's one of my favorite things to do, and I don't feel like they're any less valuable. they're more common, obviously. On community days and stuff, but I still think they count,

David Hernandez:

I mean for me that's the same way.'cause I always felt like I had a better story with Pokemon Go Pokemon than I did with the games.

GlaxonXIII:

right?

David Hernandez:

felt more. I say limited because a lot of it came mostly through the main series games and you

GlaxonXIII:

Yep.

David Hernandez:

shining hunts I did. But Pokemon Go, there's a whole bunch of different stories and it didn't have to be shiny sometimes. Sometimes it could be through trades or sometimes

GlaxonXIII:

Oh yeah.

David Hernandez:

Just there's those different kind of stories. I get what you're saying that came from Pokemon Go that you wouldn't normally get from a main series game sometimes. Right. And

GlaxonXIII:

Right. And they also have like the freedom to do things like costumes, you know?

David Hernandez:

Which

GlaxonXIII:

which I, I, I personally love. I know not everybody's a fan, but I, I love hunting those, like limited time things down. You know,

David Hernandez:

do you go all out whenever a costume Pokemon's announced for Pokemon Go?

GlaxonXIII:

my, yes. One of my prize possessions is a shiny Mimikyu costume Pikachu.

David Hernandez:

Yes. It

GlaxonXIII:

It was only available in one Halloween, and I remember it being super rare to even show up. And, uh, I got a shot, so,

David Hernandez:

I, I wanted one of those and I was lucky I got one. That one. I yeah. the Fragment Hat Pikachu, which never

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, no, that, that's what I'm saying. Like some of that stuff can get really rare, really fast, depending on how often they bring those things back and sometimes they don't armored Mewtwo, I'm looking at you. there's so much cool stuff in Pokemon Go to collect that you just don't get in the mainline games. Like they don't do costumes, they don't do anything fun like that. You know, it's like they're very like, you know, nitpicky about what happens in their mainline games. So,

David Hernandez:

Well, I guess since we're on Pokemon GO when did you first start playing? What was your first experience playing that side of

GlaxonXIII:

oh, I am so excited to be able to say that I played day one, June, July 7th. 7th, 2016. I was day one, or maybe it was July 6th. July 6th, 2016.

David Hernandez:

Yep.

GlaxonXIII:

Yep. I'm a day one and, pretty much consistently in the first couple seasons of it. I did take a couple breaks and then now I'm like full fledged into it. just recently hit level 50 like on Community Day.

David Hernandez:

congrats.

GlaxonXIII:

Just hit level 50. So,

David Hernandez:

What does Pokemon Go offer compared to the main series? Or what does Pokemon Go offer that you may not get from the main series?

GlaxonXIII:

again, it's like a lot of social interactions that you just don't really get. for the most part, I mean, Pokemon has been handheld, but not since really. I dunno, like it's still handheld on the switch, but you just don't bring your switch out to play in the city. You know, like people just don't do that. But you can bring your phone and it's also the events like Pokemon Go, having specific events, really drives the game and I love doing stuff like that. yeah, I don't know, it's just, it's just a completely different experience. There's a lot more milestones to reach, there's a lot more data that you can follow, and people love numbers. You know, a lot of Pokemon Go accounts out there are like always tracking their number of catches in a week or like how much experience they gain. it's all for those numbers, specific people that, that really enjoy that stuff.

David Hernandez:

I know you've had a chance to go to Go Fest and I wanted to know like what was your first Go fest? Was it this past year or was it a different one that you went to?

GlaxonXIII:

I just wanna share again, you mentioned at the beginning, but, I am super blessed to be, what is called a notable trainer with The Pokemon, company International. And they provided opportunities to go to go fest in person, with free access to the event all three days in the park. So You know, I was provided the opportunity to go and hang out with all the. Biggest Pokemon Go Creators, you know, mystic, jt Gilly, Zoey, they're all as amazing in person as you might imagine. which I think is really cool to see. A lot of people don't really know how these YouTubers are outside of YouTube, right? Like, they don't know how they are without a camera in front of them. But I can assure you that they are some of the most genuine, awesome people, that you could ever meet. And they just have that same passion for Pokemon that, that you do, you know, so much so that they decided to make this channel right? Like, you have to imagine like, it takes a lot of love and dedication to do stuff like that.

David Hernandez:

yeah. It takes a lot of

GlaxonXIII:

So anxiety, it is a lot of sacrifice. It's a lot of travel time for some of the, like Zoe coming from Australia. Oh my God,

David Hernandez:

Time

GlaxonXIII:

I can't imagine.

David Hernandez:

O

GlaxonXIII:

Whew, man. but yeah, so it's been, it's been amazing. So again, with that, perk, I get to play in the park all three days, which is. Not what you're normally supposed to do. You get like half a day in the park and the rest is whatever. that's what they usually let you do. But, I really would not have considered myself a YouTuber by any stretch of the imagination. I just love posting on socials and then like streams. But at Jersey City. I got probably the greatest invention of all time for anybody creating Pokemon Go content. and that is the DJ I Osmo Pocket three. I dunno if you know what that is.

David Hernandez:

not actually, if you can

GlaxonXIII:

So it is a traveling vlog camera. It is handheld, it is super light, super mobile, and it has some of the best quality I've ever seen out of a camera. and it is lightning fast. Has tons of storage, tons of battery. But I picked it up and I actually made my first Pokemon Go Vlog style video at Jersey City Go Fest. So it was a blast. it was stressful.

David Hernandez:

Like,

GlaxonXIII:

Like, you know, it makes the game hard to, hard to play because you're trying to get the footage of all the stuff, but also not letting it run away from you and all that, you know, it's just, it's a lot of added stress, but it is so cool when you see your, your final product come together.

David Hernandez:

I remember you talked about how you made that first video, your first log of attending a Pokemon Go event, or things just in general, like what kind of work went into that that was different from what you're used to, and how did you kind of approach that kind of what made you even want to even attend something like that? That's

GlaxonXIII:

that's a, that's a great question. I'm actually gonna get a little personal

David Hernandez:

It's like

GlaxonXIII:

here. And it's like

David Hernandez:

being in

GlaxonXIII:

in this, notable trainer program that they have.

David Hernandez:

I've just

GlaxonXIII:

just felt a little lesser than. I felt a little, like I did not really deserve to go to those go fests'cause like, what did I do? and the answer was nothing. I, I enjoyed my time. I collected stuff, I caught shinies, I

David Hernandez:

social

GlaxonXIII:

social posts about it, but like, what did I really do for Pokemon there? The answer really was nothing. so that changed this year. This year I made some evergreen content. That's what I call it. it means like it's content that you can go back and watch anytime. You know, sometimes people get an itching to watch people enjoy go fest.

David Hernandez:

That's the

GlaxonXIII:

that's the content I like to watch. So I wanted to create content that I liked watching, and that was my first experience doing that. and like I said, it was hard, it was hard to like focus on

David Hernandez:

the

GlaxonXIII:

the game aspect that I love so much, and trying to boost my own collection. While also trying to feel like, you know what? I'm gonna make content because Pokemon believes in me and is sending me here to do this event. And as much as they say it's not, I say it's, it's a give and take. You know, you're giving me this opportunity and I gotta give you something in return. Now they don't say that I'm gonna be very upfront with you. They are not saying that to me. That's how I feel.

David Hernandez:

if I can intercede real quick, it sounds

GlaxonXIII:

yeah, absolutely.

David Hernandez:

You went for the first three years or two years, just to say, as just somebody as a fan in a way to where

GlaxonXIII:

Correct,

David Hernandez:

Pokemon, you wanna enjoy Pokemon, but you didn't see yourself as more of a creator at that time. when you went to Jersey City, You felt more called that, Hey, this is something that I could do more with, that I'm not taking advantage of. And you wanted to kind of bring that. Your own flare and put your best foot out there, especially with how much Pokemon, I guess, has invested with you. Is that kind of how, what you're leaning towards,

GlaxonXIII:

You. You nailed it. I mean, it's like the same goes for worlds Like, you know, I've been invited and what did I do? You know, I didn't document it like for the world at all. So that is changing this year. I'm going through a, a change this year. seeing everybody else at these events who were there from Pokemon, like doing all this stuff, I'm like, why? Why am I here? like I Like, I really let that eat at me for the right reasons. And it, it's changed, it's changed my entire outlook on this. And, I felt like I was not deserving at all. And now I feel like I'm, putting my peace out there like, I deserve to be here. I'm a dang good creator and I just need to create new different stuff. I was so scared to do that, but I was like, so used to being in front of a desk with a PC in front of me, um, and doing content that way.

David Hernandez:

have carried a desk with you around New Jersey City and just

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, absolutely. I could just strapped one on my neck. Yep, you're right.

David Hernandez:

Right?

GlaxonXIII:

Uh, but no, that's literally what this DJ I does it like is a computer in front of you. so no, that, like, I feel like that's where my mind was at, I'm so mad it took this long, but, I finally had the means to, to make a change and I did.

David Hernandez:

You've been Noble Trainer also for Pokemon Worlds. How is

GlaxonXIII:

Yes.

David Hernandez:

Go Fest and what was it like to kind of get the first invite to that?

GlaxonXIII:

Okay, so my first time being invited to Worlds as a notable trainer was for Yokohama, Japan. so that in and of itself was just, that's something people just dream of, you know, like that has been on my bucket list for forever. so yeah, going to Japan. Being in the birthplace of Pokemon, basically. and seeing their celebrations of it, it was insane. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And that's like the other thing. I was so starstruck I couldn't do it. I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything Like I didn't know what to expect. so that was that year. Like I didn't know really what it was about. I had been to one Worlds before, I think it was 2017

David Hernandez:

and

GlaxonXIII:

in dc 2018 when it was in DC the last time. so I was fresh, moved to the area. So I, I was close enough to DC to just go there, as a spectator, but it wasn't as big as it is now. you know, Pokemon has gotten so much bigger than then. like, so part of it was like, okay, I'm invited and I'm going, what does that mean? so the first year was very experimental and just observing what's going on. but yeah, really it's just about like interacting with other people that have the same love of Pokemon as you do. that's what you get at Worlds. Obviously Pokemon Go has a lot of stuff going on, and I'm like a huge fan of that. So I was just really adjusting to it. Hawaii, I got a little bit better at it. I was creating videos on my phone. I didn't have this camera. but again, I was so limited because other other creators probably have the the, the money and and the time to like get as much equipment as they need. That that was like, okay, now I can sort of get ideas, but I can't really execute. pun totally intended. say Uh, but this year it's now like, okay, I know what goes into it. I know what to expect. I know what gear I need now I'm ready. so going into Anaheim, I know what to expect. I have what I need I that I did not have the first two times. So, um, that's sort that's sort of where, like where I'm at now. Um.

David Hernandez:

on that note, so what kind of experience, because you know, you're fairly, you're fairly fresh on doing this kind of logging style. What kind of experience or I guess, emotion do you want a viewer to experience when it comes to your kind of videos moving forward? Okay.

GlaxonXIII:

Okay, so the, the main focus, hopefully people still understand the main focus of worlds is the competitive side. so I definitely wanna showcase how exciting some of these battles and some of these crowd reactions can be. to watching their favorite competitor, like this is the top of the top. you see like anytime that these regionals are going on, on Twitch or YouTube or whatever, there's thousands of people watching at any given moment, on any sort of game. Like either Go Unite, VGC, like any of that stuff has an audience. So there are a lot of people interested in it. so I wanna showcase that kind of aspect. But also there's so much other stuff going on. Like obviously Pokemon Go has events during it. there's side events to do, there's like other smaller competitions for anybody to sign up and do. there's like history museums to see,

David Hernandez:

have

GlaxonXIII:

they have a lot of stuff. They have artist alleys, they have autograph signings. There's so much and I can't wait to showcase that for everybody.

David Hernandez:

Well, Glax that's gonna be an interview, but I wanna finish on this one final question. It's gonna be a fun one for you. I want you to give me your dream shiny Pokemon team.

GlaxonXIII:

Oh, okay. So this is basically asking my top six favorite Shinies, because that's what it comes down to. I love cosmetics. I don't care what they can do on the field. As long as they look cool, then that's it. Whether we win or lose, we look good doing it. so my top is obviously gonna be Aegislash like the Honedge line. I'll just give it age of slash because he is a better battler. unfortunately Hitmonlee does not make this list at all. It's shiny as terrible.

David Hernandez:

ugly green.

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, it's like peace soup kind of thing. Uh, not very appealing.

David Hernandez:

a PSU's a compliment. But yeah, continue.

GlaxonXIII:

It's, I'm gonna go, like, I love Blue Shinies outside of Honedge. I call my shiny team the blue crew, because it's mostly blue shiny, so I hope you're, you're prepared for that.

David Hernandez:

So next up

GlaxonXIII:

Um, so next up is probably gonna be King gambit.

David Hernandez:

Oh, that's a good one.

GlaxonXIII:

I love Shiny King Gambit. then I'm gonna give it to Spiritomb.

David Hernandez:

Oh, can't go with that one. That's a good one.

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah, Spiritomb shiny is just topnotch. after that I'm probably gonna have to give it to something not blue, just to stop being boring.

David Hernandez:

this is your

GlaxonXIII:

Uh,

David Hernandez:

can do whatever the hell you want. I got people

GlaxonXIII:

you know what, you're right. I, I could just keep.

David Hernandez:

Um, I'm not judging you here.

GlaxonXIII:

I'm gonna say Gigalith is one of my favorites.

David Hernandez:

Yes. Gigalith.

GlaxonXIII:

Shiny Gigalith is amazing. If you've never seen it, look it up my,

David Hernandez:

Sulaski or, uh, the whatcha called

GlaxonXIII:

yeah. SAG Mite or something like that.

David Hernandez:

yeah, yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

Yep. My favorite shiny starter for my starter fans out there is Emboar. And lastly. I don't wanna mess up. I feel like this could be very easily messed up

David Hernandez:

Like,

GlaxonXIII:

like no wrong answers with my list, you know, like they're, they're all so good.

David Hernandez:

Yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

Um, so I'm gonna give it to Camerupt. I really like shiny Camerupt.

David Hernandez:

A spicy choice for a shiny, I think that's,

GlaxonXIII:

Yeah. A black shi, like everybody loves that. Like black, shiny, like Greninja and Charizard.

David Hernandez:

Sandy

GlaxonXIII:

So

David Hernandez:

Yeah.

GlaxonXIII:

that's gonna round it up.

David Hernandez:

Glax if they wanna check out your content, if they wanna connect with you, where can they go? By all means, please plug away.

GlaxonXIII:

Absolutely. Thank you so much. So mostly you can find me on Twitch, on Twitch.tv/GlaxonXIII. You can see it spelled. It's G-L-A-X-O-N and then 13 in Roman numerals, which I heard David doesn't really do well with. So,

David Hernandez:

no

GlaxonXIII:

uh, it should be,

David Hernandez:

at all. So.

GlaxonXIII:

it should be XIII. it's GlaxonXIII on pretty much every platform. The only one that's different is YouTube. Where it's Axon and then the actual number 13 for, for you David.

David Hernandez:

Thank

GlaxonXIII:

Um, they didn't allow Roman numerals for some reason, so, probably for that reason.'cause they're confusing,

David Hernandez:

Uh, my education

GlaxonXIII:

so

David Hernandez:

me, that's why I don't know. Roman

GlaxonXIII:

that's, that's right. But yeah, I'm, I'm active a lot on Twitter, uh, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, all that good stuff.
