Two merry men have a laugh and talk about Pokémon - what's not to love?! As soon as he learned that they share a birthday, Broseidon aka Ben sent creator AbsolBlogsPokemon a message, sharing a passion for seeking out ultra rare Shiny Pokémon. Now Ben's a creator in his own right - and he never would have predicted it. Discover his life story: playing Pokémon Blue as a child while his brother had Pokémon Red, his less-than-ideal first encounter with a Generation 3 Shiny, how he owned his passions at university - and, as always, discover the 6 Pokémon most special to Ben over the years that he'd choose for his Dream Team... You've got the Broseidon Guarantee that you'll enjoy it: come hang out with Ben & me and let us #makeyourdaymerry ! Please do leave a rating & review if you're enjoying it :)

Become a YouTube channel member or head to my Patreon (links above) for Broseidon's RAPIDASH ROUND! Bonus quickfire questions he hasn't prepared for: Would Ben ever go full time with content creation? What are the origins of the name 'Broseidon'? What's his all-time favourite Dream Team he's Shiny hunted? Answers to all these and many more lie in store: let the merriment continue!
