Boloscar (00:00):
My name is Ker and
this is my Pokemon story.
David Hernandez (00:42):
Welcome to as
the Pokemon Ball turns, where we
interview people about theirexperience with Pokemon.
My name is David Hernandez.
I'm joined by a BOLO scar, ashiny hunter, a Twitch streamer,
and a Pokemon Go communityambassador BOLO scar.
Welcome to the podcast.
I think this is gonna be thefirst time I've ever had
somebody, both communityambassador and a content
creator.
Boloscar (01:01):
Yes.
David Hernandez (01:02):
Yes.
Boloscar (01:02):
hi.
Thank you so much for welcomingme to the show.
I appreciate it.
I, I would just want you toknow, very, very excited.
A little nervous.
I'll be honest with you.
I think we already talked aboutthis before the actual thing
actually started, but, I'mdefinitely very, very excited to
go ahead and share my Pokemonstory, a bunch of other things
that I have to talk about andstuff like that.
But David, man, I reallyappreciate it, man.
So
David Hernandez (01:16):
Yeah,
Boloscar (01:16):
really very excited.
David Hernandez (01:17):
well, here's
what you gotta learn is you
gotta realize, you just gottaembrace it.
Like for me, I'm always nervous.
I'm never really comfortable forthose who know I have anxiety.
So like I say, I just learned toembrace it.
Like I'm just always gonna befearful no matter what my mind
tells me.
So
Boloscar (01:30):
Oh, absolutely.
David Hernandez (01:31):
now I know this
is something I wanted to dive
into and you teased it to me alittle bit, but what is the
meaning Boloscar.
For me, it sounds like it'smaybe a mix of a name and
something else.
Like what's the story behindthat before we dive into
anything Pokemon related?
Boloscar (01:43):
so it actually is my
name, Oscar is, my, my legal
name.
the whole Boloscar thingbasically.
So it, a lot of people alwayssay like, BOLO Scar or Boker or
something like that.
It's actually bolo a bo Boker,like Oscar, like the end,
David Hernandez (01:55):
okay.
Or.
Boloscar (01:56):
Spanish you would say
Bokar.
So like, I guess you could saylike, it has two different ways
to say it, but truthfully, theEnglish way sounds a little
weirder.
I get it.
A lot of people say bolo scarinstead, which is, I get it.
You know, just the way itsounds.
David Hernandez (02:08):
Sound like it's
a little nerve in that one.
I don't know.
Boloscar (02:10):
Exactly.
But like, so a lot of my Twitchstreamers, sorry, a lot of my
Twitch viewers and a lot of mycommunity members just call me
bolo.
It's just a lot simpler stufflike other than that, I'll go
ahead and give you the origin ofit.
So I just want a quick shout outto my friend Nick.
by the way, he also got marriedtwo years ago.
I went to his wedding.
Congratulations, my man.
I'm still proud of you for that.
my friend Nick back in
David Hernandez (02:26):
Back in seventh
Boloscar (02:26):
this is like, he was
like my best friend ever.
Like, he was one of the coolestguys ever.
We used to play Xbox togetherand stuff like that.
And he was like one of the onlypeople in my grade who actually
was very, very open, open toplay video games, you know?
'cause I think
David Hernandez (02:37):
around that.
Boloscar (02:38):
I think video games
are starting to be like a little
more normalized.
Oh, that's kind of cool to do.
Instead of being like, oh, heynerd.
You know?
know.
So like, it was during thatwhole like, I guess you say, you
know, time of, you know, periodof time Seventh grade.
I meet him, you know, we really,really start kicking off as
friends and stuff like that.
We go to each other's houses,play Halo all the time, stuff
like that.
All that good stuff.
And then, around this time, thisis where the word YOLO started
(02:59):
coming back into the, the mix ofthings, I guess you could say.
And as a firm believer, I'm justgonna be be honest with you,
David, I absolutely thought thisword was the stupidest thing
ever.
Like when, when I had somebodyexplain this whole thing to me,
I was like, there's no way.
I'm sorry.
You, you only, look, I get it.
You know, whatever.
Anyway,
David Hernandez (03:16):
the motto, man.
Yolo.
Boloscar (03:17):
Yeah, there you go.
It's
David Hernandez (03:18):
It's the motto
Boloscar (03:19):
and
David Hernandez (03:19):
now.
Boloscar (03:20):
it.
But like
David Hernandez (03:20):
Back then it
was just like,
Boloscar (03:22):
it also, it was
David Hernandez (03:22):
was also a year
after.
Boloscar (03:24):
came back as a word
and it was like abbreviation of
swagger, you know?
So
David Hernandez (03:28):
So,
Boloscar (03:28):
you know, it was like
the whole weird, that weird,
anyone can relate if you're inmiddle school, that whole weird
middle school like jump oreverybody tries to make, you
know, go on, go off on a trend.
Anyway, Nick knew how much, Iabsolutely hated the word Yolo,
and he used to make fun of meall the time.
Every single second he got indoing so, he messaged me on Xbox
and he told me, oh my God,Oscar, get in a party right now,
(03:49):
bro.
I made something free.
I was like, oh, okay, fine.
So we hop into a VC And we'retalking and he he says to me,
dude, I
David Hernandez (03:56):
I,
Boloscar (03:57):
did it.
I made up says, I know how muchyou hate that word.
I made up your own word.
And I was like, OO, okay, well,where's this going?
And then he was like, so it'slike Yolo, but it's better.
Imagine bolo.
So at that point, I'm literallylooking at my TV screen, with my
(04:19):
coke in my hand and my, youknow, my chicken Uggs in my desk
and I am I'm just wondering whatwhat the hell, mean?
You know, like, because whatwhat I thought meant, it still
means this, be on
David Hernandez (04:32):
on the lookout,
or something like that, right?
Boloscar (04:33):
you know, the whole,
Hey, put a bolo on this guy.
No.
So like, He ended up telling.
well, no, Oscar, trust me.
Gimme me a chance.
He ended up telling me, and tothis day, this gets everybody,
when I told them, well actuallyDavid, I'm gonna ask you this
first.
What do you think it means?
David Hernandez (04:45):
Balo scar.
Boloscar (04:46):
Just BOLO in general?
David Hernandez (04:47):
Balo, let's
see.
Well, my, one half of my bodytells me it means bowling in
Spanish and then the other halfof my body tells me it's some
kind of Mexican bread.
So that's my, one of those aremy, those, one of those are my
guesses.
Boloscar (04:59):
Well, the Mexican part
is, is right.
I am Mexican.
So you got that part right.
David Hernandez (05:03):
Alright.
Boloscar (05:04):
I'm gonna get through
the nitty gritty.
So bolo means in his words.
only love Oscar.
David Hernandez (05:11):
Hey, that's
actually a very good, you could
run with that.
Boloscar (05:15):
So
David Hernandez (05:16):
thought about
that?
Yeah.
Boloscar (05:17):
know what's funny?
I really did.
And like the funny thing is whenI first started streaming,
everyone used to always ask mewhat BOLO meant.
And I would kind of spin it in away where I would go off of
another story saying that like,there's, I love wrestling.
I don't know.
And I don't know if you knowthat or not.
So one of my favorite wrestlersever is, CM Punk.
And a lot of people don't know.
What the CM and his name means.
'cause everyone thought it meantChicago made punk.
(05:39):
'cause he's from Chicago.
It's not, apparently CM meansChick Magnet because he was a
part of the Chick magnet tagteam before he became, you know,
his own solo guy.
And he never tells anybody thisbecause he loves people
guessing.
So I never told anybody thisbecause I love people guessing
what it meant, what it means andstuff like that.
But then I also spin it in a waywhere like, oh, it's my stage
name, it's Oscar Bola Bolas, mylast name.
(06:00):
So, you know, I just kind oflike, I kind of sp spun it that
way too.
But yeah, it's just such, it'ssuch a dumb thing, but at the
same time it's also genius.
So I probably should maybe rumit a little more.
You're right David.
I, I do agree with that.
David Hernandez (06:11):
Now I know
that, you know, you grew up in
the nineties and you talkedabout how you originally were
playing Pokemon Go.
Is that your first experiencewith Pokemon or does it even go
back further than that?
Boloscar (06:19):
It It does go back
further and, a lot of people
don't even know the stories.
I'm actually very excited to getinto this.
David Hernandez (06:24):
alright, let's,
let's see, where does it start?
Let's, yeah,
Boloscar (06:27):
So all brings really
my brother.
So my my.
a nineties, he's a ninetiesbaby.
He was born in 90, born in 93.
He basically grew up with theentire Pokemon Mania
essentially.
So he experienced, of course theTCG, the anime coming to the
states, the video games first,getting released on the Game Boy
and stuff like that.
And, yeah, he was here basicallyfor all of it.
And my sister wasn't really toointo it.
I mean, she knew about Pokemon,but like it was mainly just my
(06:47):
brother.
My mom would tell me storiesconstantly of like driving him
around from like mall to mall,city to city, just to hopefully
find a pack of cars on the shelfbecause what he used to tell me.
were sold out almost everywhere.
Like the whole Pokemon Mania wasno joke.
Mm-hmm.
people that I even talked aboutthis to, you know, who did grow
up in the nineties, they saidthe exact same thing.
It was no joke.
You would barely even find anykind of Pokemon merchandiser
(07:10):
media anywhere at a physicalstore that wasn't already like,
smashed up by other kids.
And like, I feel like I kind ofmissed that whole experience by
the way.
what he used to tell me was heused to wake up Up every single
Saturday morning.
wb watch new episodes, the ofthe anime.
And then, you know, of coursewhen it moved the Cartoon
Network later on, he used towatch basically all that.
for me, my first experience withPokemon when I was four years
old, and I actually went withhim to a video store because
(07:33):
that was actually, I believe thesame year I believe when the
Tios and Lajas movie came on.
VHS and a lot A lot of, probablydidn't remember this.
If you bought a, apparently likea first edition copy of the same
like VHS case, you get anexclusive tios and laia
holographic card inside of the,of the VHS case.
lo and behold, I actually got itand he got so so'cause I knew he
(07:55):
much, he loved Pokemon, but Igot it because I thought it was
cool and my mom used to kind oflike, prioritize me.
Like, you know how it is,younger siblings get most of it,
you know what I mean?
David Hernandez (08:02):
you got all the
attention?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Boloscar (08:04):
So I was definitely, I
was definitely the younger
sibling.
Shout us to Patrick by the way.
So anyway, Patrick, if he'slistening to this, that's my
brother Anyway.
so I I got that I, I was nice.
I gave him the cards because heobviously wanted the cards and
we watched the movie together.
Movie's very, very good.
By the way.
Probably like one of my favoritePokemon movies.
Other than that, I mainly grewup with the anime when I was a
kid and I really, really wassuper into the show.
As for the video games, I didn'treally get into the video games
(08:26):
till I was like, almost like,nine or or 10.
almost into my teens and stufflike that.
So like, I wasn't really tooexposed to the video games as a
kid.
The only Pokemon game that I wasreally kinda exposed to was like
the original Pokemon Stadium twoand the N 64 and then Pokemon
Revolution on the we.
And of course, obviously SmashBrothers with all the Pokemon
characters and all the trophiesyou can collect on that.
Obviously I was.
Way into that.
And as for Pokemon, for PokemonGo, obviously I have a channel I
(08:49):
run, I've run channel forPokemon Go, and I do mainly
Pokemon Go content.
I used to do specifically theshiny hunting and a bunch of
other play throughs and gameplays.
I mainly move the Pokemon Gobecause I was always super in
the Pokemon Go, especially afterthe pandemic.
After the pandemic, I really gotback into the game and thanks to
my fiance actually, she reallykind of like, she actually
decided to download the game ona whim, at a just pure boredom.
And then I told her I used toplay that.
(09:09):
So yeah, we'll play it together.
And I feel like a lot of peoplecan kind of relate to this once
you actually have somebody toplay with or like to kind of
like, you know, share that joy,joy of something with it makes
it a whole lot better,
David Hernandez (09:20):
I wanted to
touch on something real quick.
So, you know, you said, youknow, your fiance got back into
Pokemon Go and that's what ledyou to get into it.
So was it just the fact that youwould follow her and she would
be playing, like, how did thatdynamic work at the time?
Boloscar (09:32):
Man, it's so weird.
David Hernandez (09:34):
so,
Boloscar (09:34):
sh I just want to
clarify right now, rose, that's
her name.
She's not really like thebiggest gamer there is.
So, like when she moved into myhouse when we first started
dating, you know, we were justsitting, we were sitting down
together.
I think I was playing overwatching and we're watching
iCarly on, on my, on my other TV
David Hernandez (09:49):
yeah.
Hey, that's a good show though.
Yeah.
That's a good show though.
Yeah,
Boloscar (09:52):
what, what a good date
night.
But,
David Hernandez (09:53):
right.
Boloscar (09:53):
so, we were, she just
got bored.
She just got bored and shedownloaded Pokemon Go just on a
whim.
'cause you know, she used toplay Pokemon, you know, when she
was like a teenager on a threeDs and she wanted to get, you
know, see what Pokemon Go wasall about because she, she had
never played it.
And I told her all the storiesback in 2016.
I, like me and a couple group offriends used to like run across
town for a dragonite run acrosstown for a snx and stuff like
that.
Like how 2016 Pokemon Go is 110%to this day, super unmatched in
(10:18):
levels of experience like.
I love hearing people's storiesof when they're telling me that
like, oh, dude, we would run,literally run all the way, like
across Dallas Houston, becausewe heard rumors of like, oh,
that's a hotspot for like snl ESand Dragonite, stuff like that.
It like, you don't get thatnowadays, you know?
'cause almost everything's kindof like, not really spoonfed to
you, but like every, it is a lotmore contrived.
You know what I
David Hernandez (10:38):
Mm-hmm.
I was gonna say,'cause for thosewho don't know during 2016,
like, you know, it's a cliche.
People say like, oh, it's likeworld peace, right?
It's the first time the worldreally felt like world peace,
but it was the first time Ithink we've ever got to
experience.
The unknown of a video gamebecause nowadays we're spoiled
by leaks.
We're spoiled by, data mineswe're spoiled by already knowing
it before it comes.
But Pokemon Go, we had no idea.
(11:00):
It was all a mystery.
I think as a society or a groupof people, we really welcome the
idea of for once not knowingwhat was gonna happen with the
franchise we had grownaccustomed to, and that
traversed both the hardcore fansas well as those who probably
came back to the game, to thefranchise.
Boloscar (11:17):
Absolutely.
Oh, 100%.
I mean, like even like oldercouples that I talked to, It's
amazing that Pokemon Go or justthe Pokemon IP has such the
power to bring so many diversepeople together.
I'm like wide age groups andstuff like that, that just love
the collection aspect of thegame.
And they have so much good, I, Ilove hearing like why people
like also play the game.
(11:37):
Some people are just in it forthe PVP, some people are just in
it for the collection aspect,shiny, you know, all that good
stuff.
And the couple that I hang outwith, Wesley and Shelly, they,
they're an older couple, butlike, man, they are so
wholesome.
Like, they remind me of like ifI was, if me and me and Rose are
gonna grow older, we'll probablybe, we'll probably be like them.
I'm not gonna lie to you
David Hernandez (11:53):
They're,
they're your aspiration for
sure.
Boloscar (11:56):
They, they go out
every single weekend just by
themselves, just to go grind, doraids and stuff like that.
And I think I, by the way, Ijust think that's the, like, the
most adorable thing ever Ireally do.
David Hernandez (12:04):
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (12:05):
you know, just seeing
people like that, like I said,
wide age groups and stuff likethat, enjoying a game that we
can all, you know, or relate to,put a differences aside.
It's amazing man.
Like Pokemon, Pokemon Go hasthat power to do that.
And I feel like the Pokemon IPas a whole is one of the,
truthfully, like one of the morespecial games out there that
really kind of allow people toactually have like those similar
experiences, you know?
David Hernandez (12:25):
Now, you said
you started initially in 2016,
so you were part of that mania.
Can you give insight to likewhat it was like, what did you
do and where did you go to kindof play Pokemon Go?
Do you remember?
What do you remember from thosedays?
Boloscar (12:35):
As you said, world
peace.
But, so my biggest memoryreally, I used to just play for
my house in my neighborhood.
And I know that sounds kindalame in hindsight, but like,
y'all also gotta understand whenthese things are spawning in
every single corner of the mapand you have no No idea where,
spa.
When when I first a Bulba store,I was was, I don't I dunno why
(12:56):
the be, it was like finding thegolden ticket or when I found a
venom off, literally just likea, you know the other side side,
I don't even like venom off, butwhen but when I saw the phone I
was I was like, I don't I don't,has this, this would be such a
cool flex.
So, you know, I, I went outthere just like randomly.
It was so addicting.
It would, like, the collectionaspect of it was just so
(13:17):
addicting and it was so like,brand new at the time though,
like, it was so much fun.
Like, I would go out in theseweird places that I never
thought I'd, you know, I'd evergo to.
And I'll, I'll be real with you.
maybe a couple of places Iprobably shouldn't be at, you
know, construction sites wise.
But, man, like, it was a wholenew world.
It's not what it was now.
Now it's definitely, it knowswhat it wants to be.
(13:37):
yeah.
it was like, you know, thrown topeople.
People could figure it out.
But that's what made it fun.
The fact that we didn't knowmore about it.
We didn't know.
Really what could spawn, I mean,you heard the rumors there.
Rumors, oh, hey, there might berumors that there's mu, you
know, lingering in the wild,nobody's found it yet.
Or, Hey, somebody found a wildmu two under their, you know,
near their barn or somethinglike that.
Hey, come over here.
Let's go get it.
(13:57):
Obviously it wasn't true, by theway, but you know, don't fall
for that.
David Hernandez (14:00):
Yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Boloscar (14:01):
my God, dude, it's
like, what a different world.
It was like, seriously.
David Hernandez (14:03):
So for April
Fools, I actually did an article
about the top 10 myths of USPokemon fans have believed in
our history.
One of the ones that I touchedon was at the time we didn't
know where Dito was.
Ditto was one of the empty polkadick slots for Pokemon Go and
still is for some people.
Let's just be honest.
But we had no idea.
(14:24):
But one of the rumors that weregoing around of how to unlock
ditto, and it was such a crazyreach in hindsight, but this is
just the mindset of what it wasback in those days.
They literally thought, or wethought, some people thought.
That if you did some kind of,pattern on the main menu at that
time because of the same colorsthat are on the pester ball from
Pokemon Snap, that that was thesecret to unlocking ditto.
Boloscar (14:47):
Really?
David Hernandez (14:48):
obviously
wasn't true, completely false,
but that was the mindset ofbeing in playing In those years,
we had no idea of how legenddays were gonna work.
We didn't know if, like theywere just super rare.
We didn't know how Ditto cameout.
We just had a lot of unknownpossibilities and it was that
unknown possibilities that madePokemon Go as engaging as it was
(15:11):
back in those days.
Boloscar (15:12):
Mm-hmm.
hundred percent.
like, like you said with thewhole like rumor thing and stuff
like that, we all believed it,but it also kind of like brought
us back to like the, back in theday, like the whole playground
rumors were like, oh, hey, ifyou, if you bring a, a mu two
called mu three inside Saru Caveand find, you'll find a PIKA
blue, which is really just amar.
But obviously it was the mostfamous part of like the most
famous playground rumor back inthe day.
It was the whole peak bluething.
(15:33):
But, yeah, no, you're right man.
Honestly, it is just like, likeI said, different world.
The rumors made it also moreinteresting.
I mean, to be fair, I did quitthe game like a couple months
afterwards.
'cause like content-wise it waspretty stale.
David Hernandez (15:44):
Sure.
But,
Boloscar (15:44):
I'll I'll never
forget.
those four months I'll never,ever like let down.
David Hernandez (15:49):
And then the
rumors still kept going,
especially when you consideredthe legendary raid.
When they debuted.
I don't know if you had a chanceto play the during that time, or
were you still out of it?
Boloscar (15:56):
I was still out of it,
but I was watching videos.
actually, unfortunately, Iwatched the video of the first
ever Go Fest, you know, the onethat was like a
David Hernandez (16:00):
Oh yeah,
Boloscar (16:02):
So,
David Hernandez (16:02):
I was there.
Boloscar (16:03):
if I'm being honest
with you, I was actually co I
was actually, I was actuallyconsidering downloading the game
'cause I heard about Go Fest andthen I watched all the videos of
Go Fest being a completedisaster.
Then I was like, wow, okay,
David Hernandez (16:13):
Okay, well, so
here's the thing though.
So despite how the negativepress it was because I, you
know, like I said, I was inChicago 2017.
Boloscar (16:21):
Oh, you were there.
David Hernandez (16:22):
I was there, I
was literally, at ground zero.
I was there at the first raid.
You know, I was there when thissix seven was, right?
Yeah.
I don't regret it, as crazy asthat sounds.
Like I said, the game didn'twork for shit.
The, I was sweaty, I didn't,hadn't eaten an entire day.
I was dehydrated.
Probably.
I don't regret it because Iguess in that pain I, I got to
experience something that veryfew people got to, I guess know
(16:45):
about.
And you know, of course Pokemongoes come a long way to live
events.
I still remember fondly oftrying to, seeing the first ever
raid, seeing the egg pop up andwe're wondering, and you got
like hundreds of peopleliterally crossing six lanes of
traffic.
As for cars, this is movingtraffic.
There's not a light.
People just slammed on thebrakes when they see hundreds of
(17:07):
people crossing because we'reseeing the first ever legendary
raid.
Boloscar (17:10):
Wow.
David Hernandez (17:11):
So do I, you
know, do I wish I could have
played the game?
Absolutely.
Do I ever regret it?
I can't say I do.
Boloscar (17:18):
I say the experience
definitely like, you know, helps
it too.
The experience of being there ata live event definitely is like,
in my opinion, probably like ofthe things you remember the most
besides the event itself.
Right.
David Hernandez (17:28):
Yeah, it is.
And then I still have the Lugiathey gave up and it's the rarest
lugia because for those whodon't know, it's actually one of
the only ones that pops up withthe costume.
And I've always wondered like,what do I do with that?
I don't know.
Like I've always take, I'vealways wondered if I should
trade it to people who want,want it, but then I'm like, I
still think about it to thisday, like I don't know what to
do with it.
I still look at it.
(17:49):
It's a titled Go Fest because Imean obviously I got it from Go
Fest, but I still think aboutlike, what do I really want?
I want to, I don't like to Whothings you know
Boloscar (17:57):
Yeah.
David Hernandez (17:57):
that Lucia is
there as a memory.
I always have the memories in myhead.
So if I can give to somebody whowould appreciate it, I would
love to, but I haven't reallyfound that moment or Right.
That person at the, at the, Ihaven't found the right time to
give out.
And someday I will.
I just don't know where or how.
Boloscar (18:13):
Honestly, man, like
for me, if I was, if I held that
thing,'cause here's the thing,like now looking back, all the
stuff that I missed, I wouldpossibly like, you know, keep it
for the collection and stufflike that.
But for me, I'm a collector.
I love holding things, stufflike that.
Especially when they're likesentimental.
But also also the experience oflike, hey, this is special for
this specific mo moment.
Even though, yeah, the eventwas, you know, riddled with
(18:35):
flaws and stuff like that.
The experience and the memory ofthis specific item that you have
or Pokemon in your, in yourcase, really kind of is kind of
special in its own right.
I'd say just keep it, man.
Seriously.
That's awesome.
David Hernandez (18:46):
Well, not the
decision that future David's
gonna have to worry about.
I just keep pushing it off like,uh, everything else he does.
Boloscar (18:51):
I'll remind him.
Don't worry.
David Hernandez (18:54):
I wanted to
touch base back on, your
experience, initial experiencewith Pokemon.
You talked about how you weregrowing up watching the anime,
what arc was ash in when youfirst started watching anime,
and what do you remember aboutthose episodes you watched?
I,
Boloscar (19:07):
it was from the very
beginning actually.
So what I choose up Pikachu, ofcourse.
When he goes into the, thesecond episode where he is in
the hospital, Pikachu's injured,
David Hernandez (19:13):
oh, okay.
So it's Indigo Plateau Arc realquick.
Okay.
Boloscar (19:16):
It was from the
straight beginning and I watched
it up until like.
Half of the ho in anime.
So Oh, okay.
what got me was, I think reallyit was, it was think it was like
the final episodes leading up tolike the movie, I guess you
could say.
Like, you know how like in oneof the episodes they teased like
me two, like, you know, shootingout of the rocket base and stuff
like that.
You see it's armor and like,they just tease it, but they
don't really show it.
You know what I mean?
that one probably stuck out tome the most.
(19:38):
'cause I was like, oh dude,what, what is that Pokemon?
That's cool.
You know?
But also, to this day, Hoho atthe end of episode one, I think
that one probably still lives inmy head because of how like
mysterious, but also like, it'sone of those things you see as a
kid and you just wanna see moreof, you know?
David Hernandez (19:53):
It's one, like
I said, it goes back to just the
mystery behind Pokemon to whereyou wanna, you wanna have
questions.
Oddly enough, we wanna see it, Iguess, resolved, but we also
want to have questions ofpotentially more.
'cause I think that's what makesPokemon so addicting is that
there's always potential of morecoming out.
There's always potential of morestory, more Pokemon, more lore
that's not been explored.
Boloscar (20:13):
A hundred percent.
I'm a firm believer of the oldsaying that, you know, some of
the best questions are usuallythe ones with no answers.
You know,
David Hernandez (20:18):
Yeah.
Boloscar (20:19):
like, interpretation
is everything for me.
David Hernandez (20:21):
Yes.
Boloscar (20:21):
the inter inter, the
interpretation of seeing the
hoho is basically like sayingthat, Hey, there's a lot more on
the horizon that, that wehaven't shown that that's what
it really showed me.
And of course, lo and behold, wegot gen two, you know?
David Hernandez (20:32):
Now, when it
comes to Pokemon, what do you
like to collect?
Like what does that look likefor, I guess, give us some
insight into that.
Boloscar (20:37):
honestly, when it
comes to physical media,
obviously I collect the games.
I've been trying to get acomplete inbox collection of
most of the games.
Unfortunately, ever since thesepast three years, it has been
very, very difficult to findmost of'em for a reasonable
price.
I've kind of gave up on thatidea, entirely.
In terms of Pokemon Go and stufflike that, I've been really
trying to get a bunch of costumePokemon that I missed out on.
(20:58):
I'd say like 2020, like past,there was actually like a
costume s eye with like a litwig hats that I didn't raid for
at all.
And I really, really wanted.
'cause I love SI say one, one ofmy favorite Pokemon ever.
So that one I'm still trying toget.
Armor Mu two was also a bigthing too.
And luckily my brother Patrick,actually never stopped playing
Pokemon Go.
David Hernandez (21:19):
Oh, really?
So he played throughout.
Okay.
Boloscar (21:21):
he played throughout,
even throughout like what people
consider to be like the mostboring time, you know?
him and his, him and his friendRJ and a bunch of other, other
friends, dude, they dideverything.
They did the clone raids whenthose first came out.
The, the, the first, here's thething.
So I remember, armor Mutual cameout two different times.
It came out once in 2018, thenit came out again same year, but
it was during like theanniversary for the first movie,
whatever.
So like, I think it came outtwice and then they released the
(21:43):
clone Pokemon as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong aboutthat on the conversation, I
guess.
But like, I I remember, like meall about this and he said we
said that was like the only timethey ever saw like, hoards of
people hoarding.
Just like one single like areain like in a raid that was, that
was not in 2016.
And he said that the experiencealone was awesome.
And he has a bunch of them.
Like I even asked him for one,luckily I got lucky, lucky with
(22:03):
him, which is pretty,
David Hernandez (22:05):
I was gonna say
if he's gonna trade you, and I
was like, dang, that'd be such ateaser.
He's like, I gotta Pokemon.
You want, I'm just joking,
Boloscar (22:10):
I know I told him Yeah
know, I told him he's a jerk
'cause he has like 25 of'em.
And so I was like, can I atleast have one bro?
Like I'll give you anything, youknow, because
David Hernandez (22:16):
dude.
Boloscar (22:16):
he, he loves Snx.
So I act actually, funny enough,he was at a trip during the wild
area tour.
Right.
And they had that costume snla
David Hernandez (22:24):
Yes.
Boloscar (22:24):
missed out.
He missed out completely.
And I ended up getting fourshiny.
So I was like, okay, I'm putyour name on one of'em.
I got you.
Don't worry about it.
I got, so I got him one, Itraded him.
He gave me armor.
Me too.
And I'm good to go.
We're good
David Hernandez (22:33):
Oh my God.
So you said you collect thecostume Pokemon.
What is it about that gets thecostume Pokemon that appealed to
you that you want to collect?
Boloscar (22:39):
Honestly, uniqueness.
It's the uniqueness, but alsoit's an added flare to an
already existing Pokemon that Imight like or I just honestly do
enjoy.
I think for me a lot, I know alot of people don't like the
constant Pikachu.
I disagree.
I think the constant Pikachu arevery, very festive.
I mean, Pikachu is the maskoffer, you know, obviously.
David Hernandez (22:55):
Sure.
Boloscar (22:55):
But like, I think the
constant Pokemon for any, like
the starters too, I'm stillwaiting Niantic for a costume
mud kit.
If it's gonna happen, I hope,you know, I'll be the first one
to wake up at 10:00 AM I'll bewaiting all day for it, hunting
all day for it.
That'll be me, literally.
I'll make a whole video on it.
Other, other than that, I thinkthe costume Pokemon also have so
much personality.
I don't know why.
Something about adding a certaindifferent little, like gimmick
to a Pokemon that's already, inmy opinion, pretty cool, I mean,
(23:19):
who wouldn't want it?
It's almost, well, like it didwith a freaking, oh my God, the
Roy and the roulette like thoseare already cool Pokemon, but
the fact that they gave'emlittle costumes just made it
even better, you know?
David Hernandez (23:27):
Now you said
you want a Mud Kip costume.
Do you have an idea of what kindof costume you would like to see
Pokemon Go do with Mud Kip.
Boloscar (23:35):
Yes, I will tell you.
So I'm gonna tell you thefantasy and then I'm gonna tell
you what the probably are gonnado.
David Hernandez (23:39):
Let's do it.
Boloscar (23:39):
I think the fantasy
would be this, it would have my
little green pixel glasses thatmy little avatar has.
David Hernandez (23:46):
So, sunglasses,
mud, ki.
Okay.
Boloscar (23:47):
yeah, sunglasses, mud
ki or you know what, they could
do this, and I think it'd bevery, very cute if they do like
a May or Brendan hat mud kit,like for Hoen.
And so like they have theprotagonist from Hoen, if they
do that, I wouldn't be mad aboutthat either.
David Hernandez (23:58):
Why don't they
do that?
Actually, they did that for cno.
Why didn't they do that forOwen?
Boloscar (24:02):
saved it for the
Pikachus and, and then they
didn't do the costume versionsof the, you know, the, the Hoen
starters.
I don't know.
I don't know why, because weall, we also have costume
versions of like, you know, the,the cancel stars and stuff like
that.
So I'm like, you know, just bitethe bully.
Give us, obviously, obviouslygive us gen two, but give us Gen
three, two, you know what Imean?
David Hernandez (24:17):
earlier you
alluded to how there's some
costume that, or justinaccessible at this moment, you
know, specifically the mostfamous one is the costume U2.
And for you as a collector, youknow, you want the costume
Pokemon.
How does it feel, I guess, tonot be able to access some of
the earlier costume Pokemon?
And I mean, is that, that'sgotta be kind of frustrating,
right?
Boloscar (24:35):
It is frustrating,
especially as, like I said, I'm
a collector.
It's frustrating because I don'tknow why they haven't
re-released them because theyall, they always still exist in
the code.
They're still there.
They existed at one point.
If they were exclusive, I'mpretty sure Niantic would be
like, Hey, one time only, oneweekend only.
This is it.
(24:55):
You're never gonna get it back.
They never did.
So it's frustrating, especiallyfor a lot of like, you know,
players that got back into it,like post covid and stuff like
that, that we can't reallyaccess that unless we know
somebody, dear, dear to us, whoare willing to give us that.
You know what I mean?
I think the most frustratingthing really is the fact that
like, but at the same time, I dolove exclusivity and rarity,
but.
Pokemon Go has definitely proventhat nothing stays, nothing
(25:18):
stays rare forever.
case in point, most of the, thepseudo legendaries, every single
suit of legendary comes out.
Every single go fest.
Everyone thinks it's rare whenit comes out'cause they have the
raining for the Shinies.
And then lo and behold, nextyear as a community, you know?
David Hernandez (25:30):
you alluded to
that you're also community
ambassador.
What made you kind of wannabecome a community ambassador?
Like talk about your community alittle bit?
Boloscar (25:36):
Yes, actually.
so for those of you who, who aretuning in, this is actually the
first time I've ever been publicof me announcing that I'm an
ambassador.
So I've been keeping this underwraps because like, I've been,
you know, I've just been waitingfor the right time.
But honestly, what a perfecttime to be and be on as Pokemon
terms of David here.
so yay.
For, for, for, yeah.
You got the first scoop, David.
Let's go.
David Hernandez (25:56):
Alright,
Boloscar (25:57):
So, what really,
really made me wanna be an
ambassador is the fact that Ifeel like I'm a natural leader.
And my mom, I, I love her todeaf and I still do.
so she used to tell, she used totell me all the time, never be a
follower, always strive to be aleader.
And, You know?
it always meant a lot to mebecause, you You know, I.
Saying no is such a hard thingfor some people to do.
(26:20):
Also saying yes is very easy todo, you know what I mean?
and like, I would I would saysay no.
it came to like, you know, beingasked to go to parties in high
school, you know, doing this andthat, you know, obviously you
probably get the whole picturewhat I'm trying to say here.
But like, for me, and when itcame to my community, just feel
like the leadership reallywasn't, it was there, but it
wasn't fully there, you knowwhat I mean?
during events, I get people justlike to look at their phones,
(26:41):
not really interact.
I get that, you know, everyone'sentitled to that, obviously, you
know, I'm not gonna forceanybody to talk to me.
If they don't wanna talk to me,that's completely fine, but I'm
also not gonna shy anybody away.
If they wanna ask me a question,I'll definitely, you know, give
you 120, 100 20% of my, my, myattention.
it was literally during this onetime, it was during one of the
gmax raids.
where nobody was communicatingin our group.
(27:02):
Like nobody at all.
And me and my girlfriend werelooking at each other like, are
you serious?
Come on, people.
Like, we gotta come, we gottacommunicate more here.
You know, we're, we canpotentially all lose these, lose
these raids, you
David Hernandez (27:12):
You know, so
Boloscar (27:13):
kind of kind of just
yelled out who's who's in group
three, you know, like saying.
everyone kept saying, Hey, who'sin group five?
who's in group one?
I was like, who's in groupthree?
You know, here I am yelling, youknow, I'm like, everyone caught
onto it.
Even the community ambassador,uh, he saw, he was like, oh,
damn, okay, well, oh, there wego.
get, get people's attention thatway anyway, throughout the
entire day.
'cause like, man, like, it'salso the fact that I just,
(27:34):
absolutely hate the dynamax, theGigax, feature.
I think it's possibly the mostflawed feature in Pokemon Go
right now, but we probably getto that later.
but I really, really want peopleto get their money's worth
because a lot of people arespending money on particles
which are not cheap.
And also these raids are alsonot a guaranteed victory.
They're really not.
And a lot of people just need torealize that when they're going,
when they're going into theseraids.
(27:55):
So I was directing people, I wastelling people, Hey, make, make
sure you do at least level thisguy up, this guy up over here if
maybe full attack, if you'regonna tank, I can tank for you.
I explained to them the wholemechanics of how, how healing
works, how tanking works, youknow, how attacking works the
whole nine yards.
this actually kind of like goesback to my old gaming days where
I used to do Rays in destiny.
So I used to like lead, I usedto lead ray groups in destiny
(28:16):
all the time.
So you
David Hernandez (28:17):
So you have a
history in it?
Yeah.
Boloscar (28:18):
hundred percent.
so I used to do that all thetime and during this specific
day I did that the entire day.
And one of the biggesthighlights, and I really wish I
got this on camera, we had agroup of, 35 people.
Everybody else died.
Except for me and one lady, wewere the last two left on a
sliver of health, both of us.
And we were just telling eachother, dude, we gotta
(28:39):
communicate.
If not, this is all for nothing.
So me and her next to eachother, sitting down, tapping our
phones, I told her, okay, let medynamax.
I can tank.
I'll take the last hit.
If I go down, you can take itdown.
And lo and behold, it all workedout.
We did it, we clustered it upliterally on a sliver of health,
two Pokemon left, possibly likeone of the greatest moments.
(28:59):
And I really, really wish I gotthat on camera, honestly.
But, after that whole liketaking charge and leader thing,
I actually got messaged lateron, on a campfire asking me
like, Hey, have I ever thoughtabout, you know, helping out the
group in certain ways and stufflike that.
Maybe like hosting events inhere and there.
And I told him that I've alwaysbeen interested in it.
'cause I've even told like, youknow, my, my fiance rose about
this and like.
been really interested about itbecause only the fact that like,
well, for one, I'm makingconcert for Pokemon Go, and I'm
(29:22):
always, I'm always playingPokemon Go.
So there's one, there's onereason two, I love community
interaction.
I love like telling people like,you know, I can help you with
this raid.
I don't mind helping you withthe raid at all.
Let's go ahead and do it.
I, I love community, like, youknow, stuff like, you know,
community, like, like work inthis community.
They work towards one certaingoal.
love that.
I don't know why.
It's just, it makes me happy.
And, you know, push, you know,one thing led to another.
(29:44):
We talked about it and stufflike that.
And then, he basically offeredme the opportunity and made me
moderator by the way, Chas,everybody there, I love you
guys.
Hope you guys are watching this.
but ever since then I have beentrying to, basically I love the
whole saying that like, youknow.
actions be louder than thewords.
So I like to basically like, youknow, show people that I like
the hostess groups.
I don't want to like, you know,have any negativity here.
(30:05):
If there's any new players, Idon't mind giving you any tips.
You know, stuff like that.
'cause I feel like a lot ofpeople, like they look at new
players and they're like, ohdude, no, no way.
But then like, not realizingthat, dude, we all started like
this man, we were all brand new.
And there are still some peoplewho did not know, still probably
don't even know like how somemechanics work.
there are people that have beenplaying the game for years that
I knew had who did not know whatstab means.
Same type attack bonus, and somepeople don't even know how it
(30:28):
rates work and stuff like that.
I kept telling'em, Hey man, thisis, this is, this is how this
works, this is how this works.
And again, with Dynamax being,you know, the big hot topic
right now, there was anotheropportunity for me to basically
like, you know, share thatknowledge, you know, and I
really love the aspect ofhelping people.
So that's basically like howthat whole whole thing started.
David Hernandez (30:44):
So you talked
about how earlier, you know, you
were shouting to get peopleorganized.
You didn't have like the labelof being the leader.
You didn't have the experience,you weren't even the one running
the group.
What compelled you to even wantto do that?
'cause it would've been easierjust to let people figure it out
for themselves.
What made you kind of wanna stepin?
Boloscar (31:02):
I don't know if this
is gonna sound harsh, but it
really is just the way I felt atthat time.
I.
It's just because not everybody,even to this day, is prepared
for the Jmax raids.
Mm-hmm.
again, if it was regular raids,I probably wouldn't have done
it.
Everyone knows how regular raidswork by this time, you know?
'cause we had more than enoughpeople to do'em.
Sure.
jmax rays are so unbelievablyfrustrating.
(31:23):
And the fact that you can spend800 particles, and by the way,
you have a chance to beat it.
But not only that, you're noteven guaranteed to catch it.
Such a stupid mechanic, and Ijust want everybody to have fun
with it because Nazi did a very,very poor job of even explaining
how GeneMax works.
I mean, it was so poor to thepoint where like the first
weekend that they did it, 40plus people couldn't even beat
(31:44):
the, the Cantos trio, you know?
David Hernandez (31:46):
Right.
Boloscar (31:46):
And until they release
it the second time where they
absolutely giga nerfed them,then, you know, obviously they
made'em a lot more easier.
But at the same time, really notfun, and like, what really kind
of compelled me.
Like I just really wanted peopleto kind of get their money's
worth and their enjoyment outtathese raids, because
unfortunately, there's one ofthe few things that Pokemon Go
that you're not reallyguaranteed the win, you know?
David Hernandez (32:06):
You know what's
very ironic with what Jesus
said?
It
Boloscar (32:08):
Mm-hmm.
David Hernandez (32:08):
is the same way
legendary works when they
debuted.
Boloscar (32:11):
Really?
David Hernandez (32:11):
So back when
Legendary raids debuted, we had
Arto and Luga.
Arto wasn't the bigger issue.
It was actually Luga.
We would have people 15 to 20,which is the max fail, these
Luga raid all the time.
And that's when you startedseeing the uprising of RAID
leaders because you would havepeople waiting like 10, 15, 20,
(32:32):
sometimes 30 minutes of peopleshowing up because Luie F you
know, you know Pokemon Luie is adefensive tank.
And back in those days, the bestthings we had, or I think Jian,
what else?
gang guard.
And that was about it.
We didn't have a zap toss, wedidn't have Charron.
We had basically what wasavailable, the best canto and Jo
(32:54):
to, and this is not Riku, wedidn't have Riku at the time,
but you had the same issue.
You had players who wereprimarily casual at the time.
They were just.
Catching stuff, or maybe theywere turning to the game and you
had people failing.
Like I said, that waseverywhere.
But it's ironic that even here,we're talking six, seven years
(33:14):
later.
You've got the opportunity withDMAC raids, same issue.
I agree with you.
Like I said, they could havebeen implemented better, but it
created leaders like you to stepin and gave you opportunity to
be able to become a unionambassador.
Boloscar (33:29):
Hmm.
yeah, that's basically a a likehonestly that's probably like
hitting the nail on the headreally.
I mean it was really just likethat and stuff like that.
But also to be fair, I mean,it's my only day off work too,
so I kinda wanna make it worthit
David Hernandez (33:41):
Sure, sure.
Boloscar (33:42):
time all the time.
So dude, on a miraculous chanceI had just that Saturday off.
Right.
I was really going in therewanting to make Make my my day
finally got a Saturday off andoff.
how long's I was gonna make it.
100% worth it.
David Hernandez (33:56):
Yeah.
And like I said, I'm not gonnaexcuse Niantic for what they
did.
Like I said, they could havedone it better.
I think they should have startedwith Evie and Pikachu.
Let one of us pick the starters.
So give us an option where eachteam's different and then we
would've had something to gowith all the other rates.
But like I said, the experience,oddly enough, is still the same.
It's just that, it's just, it's,the history repeats itself.
It's ironic.
(34:16):
That's kind of what I'm pointingto.
Oh, and I forgot, TA wasactually the best con counter
all the time.
But again, not everybody had Ttars
Boloscar (34:23):
Yeah, because it
wasn't larva like a rare spot at
the time.
Right.
David Hernandez (34:26):
that too.
And then plus T tar wasn'traids, but if you didn't have a
raid party, if you never raidedwith anybody, you're not gonna
have them.
So you had people with jolt on,you had people with electrodes,
you had people with gang guards,mistri, all Pokemon, that God
forbid you bring into a raidnowadays, they're gonna look at
you sideways.
But that's what we, that's whatpeople had back in those days.
So it's just interesting to seehow history repeats itself.
Boloscar (34:48):
It, it, it's funny,
honestly, now you mentioned
that.
Yeah, you're right.
'cause like, I remember seeinga, a lone Spiro get the final
hit on a guino raid one day.
And I remember, that little Tim,I, I was gonna say little Timmy
definitely was the proudest man.
His, his little shiny like cplike 26 Spiro, know, just a
clutched up this raid for us.
Hey, Godspeed.
David Hernandez (35:09):
Oh yeah, that's
true.
It's a, I didn't think I'd eversee a Spiro Save array.
That's interesting.
Boloscar (35:14):
That was hilarious.
I'm not gonna lie you part ofit's still the funniest thing
I've ever seen in my life inPokemon, honestly.
David Hernandez (35:18):
Oh my gosh.
(36:05):
I was curious, you know, we'vetalked a lot about Pokemon.
What's your favorite Pokemon?
We've never really touched onthat.
Boloscar (36:09):
Oh yeah.
So, I really, really have onespecific Pokemon, but I also
have kind of like two, and I'llbe honest with you, if one
didn't exist, the second onewould be possibly my favorite.
Pokemon.
David Hernandez (36:17):
Okay.
Boloscar (36:17):
my favorite Pokemon is
Mug.
I love Mud Kid.
It's a.
My favorite starter.
Not only that, I used to playthrough Pokemon and Sapphire all
the time, just with PacificallyMud Kip and stuff like that.
I don't know why like ever sinceI was a kid, and by the way,
this is like I said before, I,before I even played the games,
I actually, as a kid, I went toToys Russ with my brother and he
(36:37):
used to get a bunch of PokemonMerge, obviously, you know, a
bunch of Pokemon, you know,cars, stuff like this.
right there on the shelves and Ireally, really wish I had a
picture.
I saw it.
I saw the greatest thing I'veever seen that ever graced my
eyes a mud ki plushy.
David Hernandez (36:52):
Nice.
Boloscar (36:53):
And I thought this was
the best thing since sliced
bread as a kid.
So I begged my mom, mom, that'swhat I want.
And everybody looked at me like.
What the heck is that?
Like, and like it's a mud kidand like my brother knew what
Mud Kip was, but he was like,ah, nah, it is just mud ki
what's so special about it?
Oh, I told him it's mud kid.
Okay.
That's what it is, man.
So, yeah, I brought it home.
(37:14):
I took it to school with me.
That mud kid plush, I took himeverywhere actually for like a
very, very short period of timeup, I think up until I was like
in second grade.
to this day it has a sad story.
I actually don't even know wherethis plus she went.
I think it's actually still inmy grandmother's storage in, in
her, in her backyard.
it, you know, it's, you knowwhat's funny, it's one of those
toys that used to play a, a lotas a kid, but then it
mysteriously goes away.
You have no idea what happenedto it.
(37:35):
Ever since then, Maki wasprobably my favorite Pokemon
ever.
My second favorite.
I know a lot of people, willknow this about me, especially
if you look at my profilepicture on everything.
It's my Luna Tone.
Luna Tone sticks out to mebecause it's simple and design.
obviously Luna means moon inSpanish.
and that really kind of connectsme already.
'cause like I, grew up, youknow, with a very, very heavily
Spanish speaking mother who onlyspoke to me in Spanish.
(37:56):
And I guess you're curiousDavid.
So as a kid I used to justUnderstand.
never speak it.
David Hernandez (38:02):
I can, I can
relate to that fully.
Yes.
Boloscar (38:04):
yeah.
So like now I'm fluent, but I'mnot like a hundred percent.
I'm saying maybe I'm like atleast 70% fluent.
like, as a kid, for some reasonTon always took out to me.
And like even now in Pokemon Go,I even have like a hun of it.
I almost have a shun of it.
So hopefully one that will get ashun.
David Hernandez (38:18):
That blue eyes
are pretty, pretty though.
I, you gotta admit though, thatblue eyes on the shiny luna
tones very pretty.
Boloscar (38:23):
that's what gets me
and it gets me because of the
old saying once in a blue moon.
That's why I love it so much.
It's simple.
David Hernandez (38:29):
I just got that
today.
I didn't think about that.
I never thought about that.
No.
You think I'm gonna sit here andthink about, oh, why is Lone,
lone, shiny lone represents aonce in a blue moon.
I don't think about it.
Boloscar (38:42):
Yeah.
I don't know why.
It just, it always reminded meof that old saying, so I was
like, nah, this, this shiny isgenius, dude.
I love it.
It's great.
And also it's, it's body.
It's a little lighter too, like,almost like it's a full moon
glowing in the sky.
I think it's genius, dude.
Seriously.
Like, yo, we
David Hernandez (38:55):
And this is
what I love.
Boloscar (38:56):
just on Luna Zone now.
David Hernandez (38:57):
This is just,
like I said, this is what I love
about Pokemon.
There's so much more depth.
Like I said, for me, it lookslike a moon for you.
You get a quote out of it.
Where else are you gonna getthat from Anyway?
That's the beauty of Pokemon.
There is death that people don'trealize until somebody points it
out.
I've never connected those dots.
I kid you not, I've playedPokemon since day one.
I've never connected the shiny,mute, shiny lu tones.
(39:19):
I, it's a once in a blue moon.
I've never, it's never come tomind.
Boloscar (39:24):
Wow.
David Hernandez (39:24):
this.
I love this franchise so much,man.
I, I can, yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
Yeah, yeah,
Boloscar (39:28):
to lone, by the way.
Let's get it.
David Hernandez (39:30):
yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Boloscar (39:32):
Oh my God.
But, nah, man.
Honestly, like those two Pokemonto this, like to this day, stick
out to me.
yeah, I, I'd say part ofthat'll, I'll leave it at those
two.
David Hernandez (39:40):
I'm, I'm gonna
make that podcast title.
I'm gonna see if Pokemons usedthat ones in Aton.
If they haven't I'm taking it.
Yeah, if y'all, if y'all see thetitle and it's still there.
That's why.
So.
Boloscar (39:53):
That gets me, man.
I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm kind ofsurprised.
I'm, I'm kind, I'm kind of happyI blew your mind with that,
honestly.
So now hopefully you'll be aLuna tune Enjoyer like the rest
of us now, and by the
David Hernandez (40:02):
Yeah.
I mean, I've never hated LunaTone.
Like I just never had that kindof connection with it, and
that's what I love about doingthis podcast.
People blow my mind with some ofthe ways they interpret Pokemon,
and I just, it doesn't, likethere's 1000 of these guys.
I don't think of every singleone of them.
So I, I get these moments allthe time.
And people, like I said, if youthink this is made up, this is
(40:24):
acting.
I'm not that sophisticated.
I don't get paid enough to act.
Okay, look, I get a coupledollars on a Patreon.
That's about it.
This is, it ain't worth metrying to fake this.
This is, like I said, this isreal, this is raw.
Like I've never thought of.
This is, this is perfectlygenuine.
My mind is blown right now.
I'm not editing this part by theway.
This part's going in just how itis.
So,
Boloscar (40:44):
be offended if you
did.
No, like this is great.
Like a whole five minute sectionon
David Hernandez (40:49):
oh
Boloscar (40:49):
By all means.
You already made my David.
David Hernandez (40:50):
yeah.
Who else are you gonna hear?
Have a five minute section ofLone, tell me a YouTuber, a
podcaster, a alive, and I'llcall you a damn liar.
Okay.
Boloscar (40:59):
I'll tell you one, the
Cru the cruise ship.
I
David Hernandez (41:00):
You heard?
Boloscar (41:01):
heard of him.
David Hernandez (41:02):
No,
Boloscar (41:02):
his fair Pokemon is
Luna Tone.
And I remember this'cause Iremember Wesley and Shelley, the
people I mentioned earlier, theytold me about, oh yeah, we
watched this one, one video of aweird, some weird guy.
And he was asking for a luggagetrade and he was giving him like
a really rare, like a legendaryor whatever.
And all he wanted was just alone.
And then we were like, whoa,that's kind of base Whatcha
(41:23):
talking about?
How is that weird?
That's based, he wants a lonelike, come on now.
Like,
David Hernandez (41:28):
that reminds me
of something I did.
I think it was, I think it wasprobably my second or third go
fest.
I posted a message.
I was my friend Ruby, I got himcredit for this'cause he's
actually the one that fit me theidea.
I was going to go fest, it wasone of the Chicago ones I can
remember which one it was.
And he said like, how cool wouldit be to have a shiny Pikachu
that knows surf from Hawaii?
(41:50):
And I'm sitting there, I'm like,that's a good idea.
So I posted the message.
A couple of the groups,especially the Chicago ones and
all that, you know, the onesthat are getting for Go Fest is
by chance anybody from Hawaiicoming to Go Fest that's gonna
have a shiny surf in Pikachu.
And I didn't expect to get aresponse'cause a Hawaii, I
(42:12):
didn't know how people playPokemon.
I've always heard it's been kindof a ghost town, but B, I didn't
know like what's the chances,right?
I get a response and this guysays, I have a shiny surfing
Pikachu and I'm coming fromHawaii So we set up a trade and
I meet with him and he says, Ireally thought that you were
like a bot, or that you were atroll.
(42:32):
Like who's gonna ask for a suresurfing peek at you?
And I'm like, dude.
I didn't think nobody was gonnarespond.
Like I was hopeful, but it waslike one of them like, ah, if it
happens, it happens, great.
If it doesn't, it doesn't.
But I wanted it just because Ithought that was such a cool
idea.
'cause A, I'm never gonna be inHawaii long enough to catch a
shiny peek at you.
And B, it just seemed like acool idea to have, especially
(42:55):
during those times and evenstill to this day.
I still had to peek at you, bythe way.
And it's just such niche topics,stuff like that, that you don't
think about.
Boloscar (43:05):
That reminds me of
every single lucky trade that I
do.
I always ask for a shiny mudkit,'cause I'm trying to get a
shunda mud kit and everybodylooks at me.
So funny like.
like, I'm like, I want alegendary Zac Fromm.
Are you just want a mud kit?
Is that really all you want?
And I'm like, yeah.
David Hernandez (43:22):
Yeah, that's
the Pokemon franchise in a
nutshell.
You get the most oddest thingslike, but that's what makes it
so great is you get, you getthings you don't hear before and
people collect thingsdifferently.
They got the numbers, they gotthe shinies going on.
Boloscar (43:35):
I think I love hearing
people's stories of like their
favorite Pokemon and why, andyou would hear like, obviously
like you would hear Trish or youwould hear like something like
vanilla light.
And obviously you're scratchingyour head why, but once they
explain it, it's actually a lotmore like wholesome.
I'm telling you man, like somesomeone's gonna say starly and
I'm gonna be so mad.
Like I, so I'm gonna give youlike the lower the rundown why I
hate Starly
David Hernandez (43:55):
Yeah.
Let's, I'm curious, like why'd,why do you hate Starly so much?
Boloscar (43:58):
well,
David Hernandez (43:59):
has it done to
you?
Boloscar (43:59):
I'm
David Hernandez (44:00):
I'm
Boloscar (44:00):
you
David Hernandez (44:00):
so.
Boloscar (44:00):
It has, attacked me
personally and mentally.
So, BDSP releases, brilliantdiamond shining pearl.
I'm shiny hunting the starers,I'm shining hunting, actually,
church week pacifically.
And I kid you not, how do Imanage to get five full odds,
uncatchable, Starly's, and notget the twig at all?
(44:21):
Just like, like, like that isthe most absurd thing that has
ever happened to me in myshining hunting career.
And by the way, I did get thechurch wig.
It's like, it's a pretty funnyreaction.
You probably go.
You should, if you watch it, byall means.
I appreciate it.
I dunno that, guys, just forcontext, I'm hunting on two
different games.
One game gets four starleys, theother one gets only one five in
(44:42):
total full odds.
One out Out four one out of4,096, and I go up to to 11.
encounters for the church wagonin total.
Ooh.
Yeah, that's, rude.
Yeah.
So to this day, I will I'llnever, forgive Starly for
putting me through that torment.
David Hernandez (45:46):
you know, we
talked about the Pokemon Go, but
we haven't really touched onyour games.
'cause I know you said that camein later.
did you stick with the gamesthroughout, or did you kinda
have a break and come backthrough Pokemon Go?
I,
Boloscar (45:54):
I definitely had a
break.
the first one I ever picked upand played was Pokemon Gold.
David Hernandez (45:58):
okay.
Boloscar (45:59):
Pokemon Gold is my
first favorite Pokemon game I
ever touched, ever playedconsistently.
I even deleted my brother's, sayfive by accident.
Didn't know it
David Hernandez (46:04):
Damn, you
vicious.
Boloscar (46:06):
sorry, sorry.
But it, to be fair, it had beenyears since he played it.
Luckily he still does not knowup until this podcast, so we're
good.
David Hernandez (46:13):
Oh my God.
Boloscar (46:14):
So, yeah.
Yay.
Ano another revelation.
Let's go.
Anyway.
so play Pokemon Gold, loved it.
Absolutely did.
and then I took a break a coupleyears later, and then I finally
picked up, Ruby and Sapphire.
the reason, it's kind of weirdhow I actually picked up Ruby
and Sapphire.
I actually saw a friend stillplaying his game.
Boy, sp in like a, you know, in.
school.
(46:34):
And then I told him whichPokemon game is that?
And he told me it was RubySapphire.
So he might borrow it for a bit.
And this is back when like thewholesome thing of like having
friends at school that will letyou borrow Game Boy games.
You can easily, you know, put itin your bag, you know, bring it
back, bring it back the next dayor the next week.
He lemme borrow for the weekend.
And lemme tell you right now,absolutely possibly to this day
is still like one of the funnestexperiences I've ever had in a
Pokemon game.
I just think Hoen as a wholeregion is super vast, but also
(46:57):
super unique.
I know, I get it.
IGN too much water.
I hated that.
But like, I still love, I stilllove the games.
I really do.
O obviously that's where I fellin love with Mud Kip too.
More, besides it being just, itexisting in my head, but, nah
man, it's like for, I wasreally, really into like the old
games.
I didn't play CNO until muchlater.
This is like back actually real,I'll be honest with you.
I took another break and this islike up until I was like 16 or
(47:20):
17.
David Hernandez (47:20):
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (47:21):
picked up a cinema
game and played it.
I played Pokemon Platinum, and Ijust wanna, for the record, I
didn't wanna touch a diamond orparus of how slow they are.
That's just, you know, the mainreason I didn't pick them up.
But I did love the anime.
I picked up Pokemon Platinum,played that, I played Gen five
later, Shortly after that, Ididn't I Gen six up until, 2018,
(47:41):
so it was very, very late.
and then I picked up Sun andMoon when actually I met my
fiance.
So that was back in 2019.
So, and then of course, swordand Shield, me and her actually
went to the midnight launch forit.
So
David Hernandez (47:54):
Oh, nice.
Boloscar (47:55):
in time for Sword and
Shield.
we went to that midnight launch.
And by the way, for context,that was actually the last ever
midnight launch before thepandemic, So it meant, it meant
a lot to me personally.
We
David Hernandez (48:06):
we played it
together all the time.
Boloscar (48:07):
of course when the DOC
came out for the, I believe it
was the Crown Tundra with theDynamax Adventures with, by the
way, dynamite Adventures is oneof the best ideas Pokemon has
ever had.
Please bring it back in somecapacity in the future games.
It is such a great idea.
David Hernandez (48:19):
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (48:19):
I'm begging you.
Other than that, I'm basicallyall caught up now.
I played Garland and Violet allthe way through both games.
as much as I really have prettystrong opinions on Scarlet and
Violet, I, I love the gamesstill, honestly, pretty much to
their entirety in the wholeseries.
David Hernandez (48:33):
And just for
the game context, what do the
games, specifically just themain series games give you that
maybe you don't find in PokemonGo?
And what do you kind of, Iguess, enjoy playing about them
that keeps you going back to'em?
Boloscar (48:43):
Really two things.
It's really the story aspect ofit, and also just like the, the
thrill of a play through goingon an, a new adventure with a
new team of Pokemon, or even thesame team of Pokemon just
reliving.
Reliving some days, you knowwhat I mean?
Reliving like the glory days orreliving some memories and stuff
like that.
That's really what kind of getsme.
Pokemon Go has an advantagewhere like you're making your
own story as you go
David Hernandez (49:04):
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (49:04):
really, but also like
it's an adventure throughout,
you know, matter where you go.
And that's one thing Pokemon Gowill be absolutely unto with
that.
It's just, it's and its ownleague, that aspect.
But the main series games, man,they're, there's so much magic
to them.
Shiny hunting especially, andthe experiences of like getting
a full lot shiny or even like ashiny charm, shiny, or just
better yet experiencing a newpart of the playthrough that you
(49:27):
might've missed in your firstplay through or initial play
throughs.
make it a lot more likeintriguing, you know?
David Hernandez (49:32):
you and your
fiance, it sounds like, you
know, y'all did the midnightrelease together.
Y'all played Pokemon Gotogether.
like, how do y'all spend timetogether playing Pokemon?
Like is it through Pokemon Go?
Is it through Pokemon still?
Like what does that look like?
Boloscar (49:43):
is mainly both
actually.
So, I never mentioned thisactually.
I actually quit streamingfull-time back in 2023.
so I can pursue actual PokemonGo content.
we were always streamingtogether.
Pokemon, Pokemon Sword andShield, Dynamax Adventures, or
even with Scarlet and Violetcame out, we were all doing
shiny hunting on that.
we did basically the whole nineyards with that.
we quit because it was mainlypersonal reasons, but also
(50:03):
really'cause Twitch kind of likechanged all their algorithms and
stuff like that.
We really kind of didn't really,really see streaming as, as you
can say, maybe a formidablefuture, you know what I mean?
going on to Pokemon Go, we wouldalways sneak outta the house
late at night, even when we werelike still full-time streamers.
Playing Pokemon Go for likehours on end in the middle of
the night looking for Shinies.
You know, even when the glaringbirds first dropped, we were so
(50:25):
mesmerized by them that weliterally would dedicate 15
minutes a night just to go outon a, a short little car ride
and a short little route just sowe can do our daily instance and
stuff like that.
And we would always be super inthe Pokemon Go.
We would always play it allwould do Go fest.
the first ever Go fest, firstever canceled tour, all the
tours and stuff like that.
We always did everythingtogether.
(50:45):
And this is when we didn't evenhave a camera in our hand.
We, we didn't have the camerathat I use now.
We would just play casually, butwe were all super into the game
one thing led to another andthen this is when I finally had
it with streaming and I kind ofbasically put my foot down with
streaming and I would justreally couldn't do it anymore.
I just really.
I got so bored of it, really.
And like I said, a couple of thepersonal things really this me
for another time.
(51:05):
we went out, the Adventure weekwhen they really shiny Tyrunt
around shiny Amaura, rose's,favorite Pokemon ones is Shiny
Tyrunt.
I love Tyrunt as well.
It's one, one of my favoritefossils, possibly my favorite
Fossil, like hers.
the first 30 minutes of theevent we were doing our usual
route grinding.
And I get it.
Wild spa and I get it.
And I was so happy.
you know, the luck just kept ongoing.
(51:26):
And I told her, I kind of sather down when we were eating.
Why don't we try something new?
Or why don't I try somethingnew?
Why don't We ever make conceptof Pokemon Go.
Have you ever thought about it?
And then she asked me, like, I'msurprised you haven't thought
about it up until now.
'cause I mean, you've alwaysplayed the game more than I, I
mean, we played the gametogether, but like she even said
in her own words, I played thegame more than her and I'm very,
very passionate about it andstuff like that.
(51:46):
Especially keeping up withevents and stuff like that.
Mm-hmm.
then, well, we ended up, takinga, taking a, I guess you say
taking a risk.
little did I know I wasliterally pumping up video after
video after video.
It was so brand new to me, thewhole vlog style, making videos
while also going around thewhole world.
And like, you know, doingPokemon Go and telling people
like a little bit about myself,but also how I played the game
and stuff like that.
(52:07):
It is something that possiblysaved my entire love for,
content creation.
mm-hmm.
hold it super near and dear tomy heart.
I possibly would've been, doneif Pokemon Go and the content
creation that I was doing for itdidn't pop off as it did.
and this is now doing itfull-time as opposed to doing it
super part-time.
'cause as I mentioned, I don'twork full-time anymore, thank
(52:27):
God.
'cause I was working literallyseven days in a row and I would
dedicate some days just to playPokemon, but I would I would
only have like two a two hoursession.
to like a, a usual four to sixhour session that I would
usually do.
I'm appreciative.
I'm so glad that, and I
David Hernandez (52:40):
I
Boloscar (52:41):
this, who's listening,
that risk.
'cause you never know where itcould lead you.
that risk and here I am,honestly, happier as can be.
and I made I return tostreaming.
I'm streaming mainly justvariety games, Pokemon here and
there and stuff like that.
But I've even had a secondchannel, which I'm gonna be
uploading more gaming stuff,gaming related news and stuff
like that to it, which I, I lovevideo games.
(53:01):
I dunno if anybody can, anybodycould tell.
But this whole conversation,video games as a whole, I'm a
huge fan of, I love video games,I love everything about'em and
stuff like that.
I've always loved talking aboutvideo games with people and
stuff like that.
I also also used to be aneSports coach, very, very
briefly, in my old job and stufflike that,
David Hernandez (53:16):
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (53:18):
very like big passion,
really like, you know, telling
people about video games,talking about video games and
stuff like that.
And I don't know, like when itcame to Pokemon and Pokemon Go
and all this other stuff, Ithank Pokemon Go and the Pokemon
franchise for keeping my lovealive for content creation.
'cause I would've been doneliterally a long time ago.
David Hernandez (53:33):
What is it
about Pokemon Go specifically?
Like what do you like to try tocapture when it comes to doing
content creation and how do youtry to implement that into the
videos or the streams that youdo?
Boloscar (53:43):
honestly, it's really
about all about showcasing for
me, like showcasing that there'sstill fun to be had in a game
that obviously, you know, a lotof people are kind of like, I'd
say maybe a lot of the veteranplayers, a lot are burnt out on,
But there's so much more to itin my opinion.
Like the places you can visit,the places you can see, the
places you discover just bylooking at your map.
And you would never ever gothere, ever.
(54:03):
I mean, dude, I had no ideathere was a huge campus that is
also a church, like, literallylike right down my road and it
has a bunch of poke stops thereand apparently a bunch of people
go play there and I would'venever known about that place.
And it's been there since I wasapparently still in diapers.
So like it's been there foryears and I've been living in
Plano all my life, you
David Hernandez (54:21):
Right.
Boloscar (54:22):
So you never would
experience those kind of like
places without games likePokemon Go to actually take you
there, like by accident really?
If I'm being honest with you.
And that's what makes itinteresting for me is like
everything happens by accident.
David Hernandez (54:33):
accident.
Boloscar (54:34):
Pokemon Go is a very,
very like happy little accident
for me, but also like a littlelike accident accidental
addiction for me
David Hernandez (54:39):
Mm-hmm.
Boloscar (54:40):
like.
just love the collection aspectwhen it comes to content and
stuff like that.
I love the showcase, like thePokemon, they were like present
in the wild, you know, thingsthat you could possibly power up
in the future and stuff likethat.
I even did a whole video liketelling people, Hey, power up
these Pokemon and also give somegood advice for Dynamax Pokemon
in case people didn't likeDynamax.
Didn't dyax Pokemon too much.
Especially they're superexpensive to power up.
They really are.
I told them that find a friend,trade them because they are half
(55:04):
the cost to power of for futureax, Pokemon Bond or future
dynamax rates.
And I love giving some littletips like that.
'cause I've even had a lot ofpeople say, I mean, sure it
seems simple in your head, butto somebody else that means
everything, And I love that.
I love that feeling, man.
It's so good.
And I guess another thing I alsolove showcasing, really, it's
just my love for Pokemon Man,like we're all nerds at the end
(55:24):
of the day.
Like, look, the game has itsflaws.
That's never been a, that'snever been a secret, we can all
find enjoyment in something thatis, yes, very, very flawed, but
brings so many people together.
And the community that I builtis wonderful because we all love
this game we all have ouropinions, and I love hearing
people's opinions.
Well, some opinions, I'll behonest with you, like,
David Hernandez (55:45):
Some more than
others.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Boloscar (55:47):
there you go.
Like, but like, man, Pokemon Gois a whole new beast when it
comes to that.
It has the most dedicated fanbase of any other mobile game,
in my opinion.
And it just lives alive in somany people's heads because so
many people made it a part oftheir daily lives, you know?
David Hernandez (56:00):
Earlier you
said you just became a community
ambassador, fairly recent,within like a month or so, you
know, now you hear contentcreator.
What has been the kind of the, Iguess, feedback you've received
becoming a community ambassador?
You know, are they welcomingthat you're both a c content
creator and ambassador?
Like what is that like?
Like how's your communityresponding to that?
Boloscar (56:17):
So I'm gonna be real.
David Hernandez (56:19):
Sure.
Boloscar (56:19):
of the people that I'm
friends with now didn't even
know I did content, but they didsee me around with my camera
'cause I'm always walking aroundwith my camera.
know, some some of the feedbackI received.
It really, really has.
and Obviously, like I've heardsome things that, you know, is
more of like a cause for like, Imean, I really don't really see
why people would think that, butat the same time, I get it, I've
received maybe, and this is justmore of anonymous, anonymous
(56:41):
tips from friends that I've had,that people are saying that
like, I becoming in a communityambassador just to elevate my
channel or am I becoming acommunity ambassador?
You know, to actually help outthe community and just, you
know, do Pokemon Go as usuallyas anybody else would do.
Honestly, I kind of
David Hernandez (56:57):
I kind of hate
Boloscar (56:58):
because people, it,
it's very, very natural for
people to very, very quicklyassume things.
You know,
David Hernandez (57:05):
Sure.
Boloscar (57:05):
of like, actually
like, you know, kind of being,
maybe putting two and twotogether.
But I understand that.
'cause honestly, if I was intheir In their shoes or you
know, thinking about another guywho was doing the same thing I
did, but he was wanting tobecome an ambassador.
You know what, I probably wouldthink the same thing.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm not gonna knock anybody forit, but I'm just gonna be flat
out, honest and tell everybodyhere that, like, I never took
this position to elevate mychannel or elevate my content
(57:28):
because I gain nothing.
I gain no satisfaction fromdoing that.
The only satisfaction I gainfrom doing being a community
ambassador is being a communityambassador.
Like being a leader, beingsomebody that you guys can
depend on, hosting events, beingyour friend, talking to you, and
stuff like that.
And honestly.
I just love interacting withpeople.
(57:48):
Like I'm very, I'm a very, verysocial I love.
love talking to people.
I love getting people's storiesout.
I love also like, Hey, do youneed help with this rate?
I'll help you out with this rateand stuff like that.
I hope, hopefully I'm not comingoff as like, you know, weird as
saying that, but like, it's justthat, like for me, I, never
really saw me becoming anambassador and also doing
content on the side as a way toelevate my channel because
(58:08):
truthfully, it's not about that.
Yeah.
I do the channel for fun and Ithink personally, once you stop
doing it for fun, it just stopsbeing fun in general, and that's
personally why I kind of liketook a step back from Twitch is
because I started treating ittoo much like a business.
And once I started treating ittoo much like a business, I
stopped.
Because you started develop,developing like that kind of
like toxic mindset, you knowwhat I mean?
So like, that's where like I'mat now, and again, I don't, I
(58:31):
don't fault anybody for askingthese questions.
I, I love when people like, youknow, wanna ask me questions
about this, stuff like that.
But I just want everybody toknow here that I did not become
an ambassador.
The, any way, shape, or form toelevate my channel, my channel's
still relatively small.
I mean, 900 is a lot, but it'svery, very Very small most
channels.
And I still consider it to bepretty small.
And I'm blessed where I am rightnow.
(58:51):
I think I, I thank God everysingle day and I literally thank
my opportunities every single,day that I get, that I have the
the opportunity.
to do this every single day whenI can and when I, you know, when
I will basically, you know,
David Hernandez (59:04):
So oddly enough
I get that as more of a
podcaster than I'm at community.
'cause I run the Facebook groupwithin DFW.
I've run it for the past fiveyears.
I've been a community leadersince probably 20 17, 20 18 in
certain ways.
Boloscar (59:15):
okay.
David Hernandez (59:15):
And you know,
the community ambassador
program's fairly new.
I've elected to not, I.
Pursue it.
That's been pretty open aboutit.
I don't know about the podcast,but at least locally, and part
of it is that, you know, I wantto keep the brand of the podcast
and the community ambassadorseparate.
I don't want them to mixtogether.
I understand the expectationsthat are placed there.
Some of the stuff that I wannatalk about would probably be
(59:37):
frowned upon.
And I'm just being honest.
You know,
Boloscar (59:40):
Yeah,
David Hernandez (59:40):
if you ever ask
me in person, you know, I'm
happy to talk about this, but Ialso do that because kinda what
you said earlier.
I remember back when I was inhigh school, we had a shirt for
senior year and the one whoorganized her, her name was Ms.
Vox, loved her to death.
She was very just a sweet woman.
She had this shirt she made.
She said, why read the, it said,why read the back of the shirt
when you can instead, follow orbasically lead and see so much
(01:00:03):
more.
That was kind of, I butchered itlike hell, but that's kind of
what it was.
Yeah,
Boloscar (01:00:07):
I, I.
David Hernandez (01:00:08):
and I've always
stuck to that.
It's always been somethingthat's kind of been in my mind
I'm like, that makes so muchsense.
Why follow when you can justlead and see so much more?
I've never believed that I needa community ambassador title to
be an ambassador.
I've been doing this stuff for along time.
I don't need it.
Like that's more for people whoare maybe more newer to the game
who are trying to buildcommunities.
(01:00:28):
I don't need that title anymore.
Like I said, I have six to sevenyears of both good and bad
mistakes.
Like I said, I'm human.
I've made mistakes in stuff,some of the stuff I've done, but
I've always preferred to lead byaction because a lot of people
can talk big talk.
But when it comes to like bootson the ground when it comes to
actually doing stuff, that'swhen you see who's really a
leader.
For example, as the poker ballturns, I give wristbands to the
(01:00:52):
communities here.
They don't have to pay for it.
I wanted to be able to, when webuilt Tip Addison, I wrote a
blog on it for on my website asthe pickle ball turns.com
encourage you to read it.
I put it point blank and you canask.
The community leader is there.
Y'all don't have to pay forthese wristbands.
Yes.
Does it have my branding?
Absolutely.
(01:01:13):
But the reason why I wanted todo that is I wanted to be able
to order for some incentive forpeople who came to collect.
That was it.
I still don't, I don't, I stilldon't sell'em to this day.
if you come to Community Day,you're gonna get the wristband
for free.
And I do that because I want, asa brand to be involved within
the Pokemon community.
I don't wanna be seen assomebody who's out of touch or
(01:01:36):
somebody who's like afigurehead.
I wanna be like, yeah, he getsout the wristbands all the time.
He's involved with thecommunity.
I've always wanted to beengaged.
That's why I try to attend theseevents as much as I can.
And I think it's important, andI say this because I think it's
important now, especially witheverything going on, both in
conation as well as the realworld, that us content creators,
whether you're a podcaster, astreamer, a.
(01:01:57):
YouTube or whatever you are.
I think it's more important thatwe are involved with these
communities to be a light aswell as also to help guide some
of these leaders who do the hardwork.
Like I said, all I do is just Ido wristband.
That's it.
I don't do anything else.
I go and help out when I can.
they do all the hard work.
I just show up and give somewristbands for the community so
(01:02:17):
they can have some free swag andthey can do it.
That's all it is.
Boloscar (01:02:21):
it's all in love for
the community too.
I mean, like it's all for theexperience of like, hey, well,
being welcoming to the communitythat you already are a part of,
you know?
I mean,
David Hernandez (01:02:28):
Exactly,
Boloscar (01:02:28):
get that a hundred
percent.
David Hernandez (01:02:29):
on that note,
that's gonna be an interview.
I did wanna ask one finalquestion.
Boloscar (01:02:34):
Okay.
David Hernandez (01:02:34):
So I actually
did know that you are a
wrestling fan.
So my question is this, if youhad to choose six Pokemon, that
would be wrestlers what?
Six Pokemon.
Would you choose
Boloscar (01:02:45):
Oh God.
Okay.
Obviously easiest one.
Part of my favorite, one of myfavorite Pokemons ever, everyone
knows this about me.
I love freaking hacha.
Hacha is obviously like RaymondCereal.
I mean, that's, that's basicallywhat it is.
Halla is Raymond Cereal.
A hundred percent.
I'd say.
Let's see here.
For me, realistically, machoinstead of macha, I just think,
honestly, the forearms is kindof weird, mm-hmm.
(01:03:06):
think macho actually looks morelike an actual, like, you know,
wrestler than Macha does.
David Hernandez (01:03:10):
That's fair.
Boloscar (01:03:11):
personal prep.
Honestly, I've always thoughtmacho look like z from a, from a
street fighter.
So
David Hernandez (01:03:15):
Okay.
Boloscar (01:03:15):
where I kinda like put
it on, Hama.
Sumo Wrestler also a big guytoo.
I think he also looks like a eHonda from Street Fighter.
So another reason I like himtoo.
so there you go.
So yeah, Hama, macho Oh man.
Who would else would be a coolone That has to be like a really
dope one.
everyone's gonna be like sayingin the conversation below.
Oh, you should have said thisone.
I want, you know, hang on.
That's my list.
Hang on.
(01:03:36):
Oh, man.
let's see.
I got the three down.
Okay.
Honestly.
Okay.
Could you say Rio?
Really?
But Rio is more like, more like,you know, Anubis.
Like, would you, would you sayRio?
David Hernandez (01:03:47):
Hey, this is
your list, man.
I'm not gonna judge you.
Boloscar (01:03:49):
Yeah, fine, fine.
I'll put Ari on there for now.
David Hernandez (01:03:51):
Yeah,
Boloscar (01:03:52):
car is cool.
five.
I'm gonna have to say honestly,kunk.
Kelder, I gotta put perspective.
My boy Kunk DER's, kunk DER'swork.
you know, he's, he's holdingthose really, really two big,
cylinder blocks and honestly Iprobably couldn't do that in
real life.
I think he's pretty cool.
What kinda he
David Hernandez (01:04:06):
you still
there?
Yeah.
Boloscar (01:04:09):
oh my
David Hernandez (01:04:09):
Oh my God.
Boloscar (01:04:10):
it cool.
It has to be
David Hernandez (01:04:11):
yeah.
Boloscar (01:04:12):
Honestly, you know
what's funny?
I'm was gonna do like, just baseof appearance.
I'm just gonna say right now,Andino, I'm just gonna put this,
my last answer.
My original Garina and myoriginal, oh my God, my original
platinum copy.
I named it the Undertaker.
Because he's from theunderworld.
undertaker is po possibly myfavorite wrestler.
That's not C Punk or John Cena.
(01:04:33):
Also, John c is a bad guy.
Now it hurts my feelings, but atthe same time, it's so cool.
It's so, it's so cool.
Remember, I want your soul.
Other, other than
David Hernandez (01:04:40):
right.
Boloscar (01:04:40):
yeah, I'm at the C
Guino.
Why not just, just, just for thememes.
