Pokemon Rants - Changing an Industry w/Zack @GemMint Pokemon

Pokemon Rants - Changing an Industry w/Zack @GemMint Pokemon

What does it really mean to change an industry? Changing the rules of engagement, educating the masses, upgrading the underlying belief and the value that is ultimately perceived by the people therein is just a spark of what this Jolteon lover has in his over 10k volts of electric-potential. Zack (aka GemMint Pokemon) has truly been an inspiration for so many that there is no telling where this hobby would be without him (minus the pull tabs on your grading submissions). Inspirated by those oh so special jungle packs from grandma and perhaps the Jolteon found therein, what was just a young boy's excitement has evolved like Eevee to a truly electrifying experience that will go down in the books Pokemon history. As he has done for more than a decade, let’s carry that torch to grow the pie of our Pokemon hobby through conversation as we welcome Zack to Pokemon Wonder!

Pokemon Rants - No Thought Too Deep with Shaun @ Squeaks Game World

Just how deep can thought go? The truth is, you never know unless you peel back the onion and perhaps cry a little along the way. The man we have here today is not only as one of the most trusted wealth’s of knowledge, but also one of the most well-versed contributors to the Pokemon hobby, Shaun at Squeaks Game World has been a pillar of multiple verticals in (and even outside of Pokemon) that many admire. Much like Tomba trying to defeat the evil Koma Pigs to rightfully obtain that which already belonged to him, Shaun has battled more than a decade of foes and challenges that those of lesser muster would have thrown in the white flag. Now on new journeys of life that we will surely dive into today, Shaun is reinvigorated with flames that surpass any he has ever fathomed and perhaps have already become the jewels of life’s collection and his heart. So, let’s take a deep breath as we dive into deeper thought than ever before as we welcome Shaun at Squeaks Game World to Pokemon Wonder and much more!
