Pokémon does not exist in a bubble. The series was made by people who are products of culture, just like anything else. That's the fundamental premise of Cecilily's channel - come discover how she got here: the lonely experience of playing Pokémon when she was younger, how writing is her happy place, what inspired her to create her content & beyond - and, of course, discover the 6 Pokémon most special to her over the years that she would choose for her Dream Team... Come hang out with Cecilily & me and let us #makeyourdaymerry !

Become a YouTube channel member or head to my Patreon (links above) for Cecilily's RAPIDASH ROUND: bonus quickfire questions she hasn't prepared for! What advice would she give to aspiring creators? What are highlight videos for her on her channel & what videos does she have planned? Who would be her dream dinner party guests? What hopes does she have for Chikorita in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?! Answers to all these & many more lie in store: let the merriment continue!

My name's Charlie Merriman - Merri by name, merry by nature - a pleasure to meet you! I'm a host & commentator for the Pokémon Video Game Championships Series and a content creator. You can find me as @Chazingdra on YouTube, X, BlueSky, Instagram & TikTok - I stream Pokémon games *TUES - THURS EVENINGS* UK time both competitively & casually including Shiny hunting (NB NO streams this week unfortunately), vlog events I cast, make comedy skits and loads more! Come be a part of the merriment!

There are now more than 50 episodes of the show featuring a broad range of people in the Pokémon community, from competitive to casual players & beyond - enjoy! I work really hard on these episodes so if you’d like to support, likes & subscribes to my YouTube channel @Chazingdra really do go such a long way, as do comments with your thoughts - I’d love to read them! On Spotify & other audio apps, ratings, reviews & comments are really helpful. Spreading the word about the show, by telling your friends, sharing episodes & using the hashtag #6Pokemon1LifeStory online helps a lot too, and again becoming a YouTube channel member or joining my Patreon (linked above) ensures I can continue to bring content to you.
