new reaction image just dropped #PokemonPokopia

YouTube video thumbnail of Mallory's video "Kalos History: What Changed After Pokémon Legends: Z-A?"

For me, 10k views is "successful" at my current size on YouTube, so I'm always really proud to see the videos I work the hardest on manage to cross those thresholds :)

Today is my five-year streaming anniversary, and oh what a five years it has been. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through it all 💚

Mallory and Terapagos plush

Happy Pokémon Day! Live on Twitch watching the presents :)

What an amazing set of new marriage candidates for the Stardew Valley 1.7 update!!!

NEW VIDEO!!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A was destined to change how we understand the history of Kalos and the Pokémon World at large, but what did we actually learn from everything that unfolded in Lumiose City?

NO! I'm definitely not photoshopping mega stones into a painting of the first council of Nicaea for a video....

Confined Hoopa and Ansha from Pokemon Legends: Z-A with game text reading "I am a girl on a mission, after all!"

I fear we need to be giving Ansha more credit. The lady said she wanted Rayquaza and did everything to get it.

Pokémon Fans Share What 30 Years Of The Series Means To Them We asked folks to tell us a story of how the series had affected their lives for the better

Is this what insanity looks like?

And be sure to go check out the first installment featuring @sciantsmedia.com where we took a closer look at understanding fossilized creatures in Pokémon and how well they might actually hold up or compare to our science understanding!

In 2026, I've started a new series: Poké-Panels, where I sit down with a scientific/academic, etc. expert & talk about the Pokémon universe through the lens of their expertise. While I have a few, I'm looking for more folks to connect with. Any recommendations--let me know!!👇

Happy fourth anniversary to Pokémon Legends: Arceus!

This game is such an important installment in the franchise and was a beautiful way to bring love of history and our knowledge of Pokémon's mythology to the center of the discussion. ⛏️🏛️

FROSTY TOOLS SUCKS Because it relies on generative AI, a process that hinges on stolen training data, and uses dangerous amounts of energy & water to power each shoutout. The creator has admitted to using “The Pile” in the FrostyTools training data[1], which includes stolen Youtube Subtitles, Self-Published books and Academic Papers[2], directly stealing from small artists & creators without permission or compensation. Based on the output from other models, each message from Frostytools can use up to an 500ml (18oz) of water & enough energy to fully charge your phone 7 times.[3] Stop using FrostyTools. It is stealing work and polluting the planet to shoutout your raiders. Just use a non-AI chatbot instead.

Frosty Tools Sucks.

There are simpler, easier, less destructive things you can use instead.
Nightbot, Moobot, Streamer.Bot & MixItUp are all viable subs.

New YouTube video featuring @sciantsmedia.com!!

My new series, PokéPanels, is about bringing in real-world experts & academics to discuss how their respective fields line up with what exists in the Pokémon universe. Today we're taking it all the way back to prehistory with Dr. Balint from SciAnts!

What Stardew Valley "world expanding" mods are out there that AREN'T Expanded or Ridgeside (or require them)?

(Specifically thinking about mods that add new characters and locations)
