#6Pokemon1LifeStory
The anime trope of 'We'll be OK because we have each other' has been a lifelong inspiration to Steph, to the point where it's now enshrined in her online alias: this mantra paved the way for Steph to find solace in streaming & finding her community, later juggling this with working in the games industry - and all the while Pokémon's been there for her, from Hey You, Pikachu! on the Nintendo 64 right up to Pokémon UNITE on the Nintendo Switch. Come discover StephOfAnime's fascinating life story, as well, of course, as the 6 Pokémon most special to her that she would choose for her Dream Team. Kick back with Steph & I, and let us #MakeYourDayMerry!
