#ChazingdraChats25 #6Pokemon1LifeStory
On 25th September, what an honour to be joined for the 25th episode of Chazingdra Chats by Joe Merrick, Webmaster of the phenomenally popular Pokémon fanmade resource site Serebii.net - which itself is just a month away from its 25th anniversary. A momentous time all around, and a rare opportunity to get to know a less public figurehead in the community whose experience with Pokémon runs so deep: come hear how Joe begged his mum to import Pokémon Red from America, how Serebii started, how Joe once accidentally deleted the entire site, how challenging circumstances nearly led to him doing so again on purpose - and this is just scratching the surface of the insight Joe gives. And how on Earth will someone with such a comprehensive knowledge of the franchise choose just 6 Pokémon for his Dream Team? Which have been the most special to him over the years and why? It's all here along with so much more in Chazingdra Chats 25: come join us, kick back, have a laugh and let us #MakeYourDayMerry!
I am proud to present the 25th episode of Chazingdra Chats - thank you so much for all your support over the past few months! I hope you're enjoying getting to know the life stories of people in the Pokémon community and discovering the 6 Pokémon most special to each of them. It's a privilege presenting them all to you: here's to the next 25!

*Shiny Pokémon: Each Pokémon has a Shiny version, an incredibly rare differently-coloured variant that sparkles when encountered (1/8192 chance to find a Shiny in Generation II - V Pokémon games, 1/4096 in Generation VI onwards). They are not otherwise different from regular Pokémon, no more powerful etc, but of course they are highly prized for their rarity.
