16 Connor Hayward - Graphics Operator for EU Pokémon Streams & Limitless Stream Coordinator

Connor Hayward has a wealth of experience behind the scenes of Trading Card Game streams, and I'm excited for everyone to hear this perspective for the first time on the show. From getting very good at speed-running Pokémon Red thanks to being unaware of the ability to save the game(!), via a chance encounter with Limitless TCG after the finals of a tournament, all the way up to operating the graphics on official EU Pokémon streams now, come and discover Connor Hayward's fascinating story - as well, of course, as the 6 Pokémon he would choose for his Dream Team! Hang out with us, have a laugh, and let us #MakeYourDayMerry!

*Shiny Pokémon: Each Pokémon has a Shiny version, an incredibly rare differently-coloured variant that sparkles when encountered. They are not otherwise different from regular Pokémon, but of course they are highly prized for their rarity.

*Technician is an Ability that slightly boosts the power of weaker moves. Rough Skin is an Ability that deals a small amount of damage back to the attacker after the latter uses a move that makes contact.
