What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today I
think I'm in Pokemon I I don't really have a better way to explain that
so in Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee there are a bunch of master
trainers and yesterday Gerard released a video droid the completionists he
released a video talking about the master trainers the localization team
decided to have a little bit of fun there are possible nods or references to
several people as well as fictional characters in these games these master
trainers are references to people there's a reference to the game grumps
is reference to the Simpsons and the master trainer for dratini in this game
is a reference to me so the master trainer for dratini is Gerard jir ARD
which is a unique way to spell Gerard and that's Gerard the completionist
spelling of his name and it's the dirty me master trainer which Gerard feels as
though is very closely connected to him because of his previous playthroughs and
at rotini have we head over to the gastly Haunter and Gengar trainers there
is Aaron Danny and Ross some people may know them as being the game grumps a rin
Danny and ro SS and all three of them in a row it kind of makes sense I could
definitely see the correlation there's also nods to The Simpsons in here and
then just a bunch of other random trainers with whole bunch of various
names however that got me thinking about stuff because well the game grumps and
the completionist they're not specifically known for being you know
Pokemon related but they do play the games also this game has been under
development for quite a while and while it was under development I was in the
good graces of Nintendo being a brand ambassador having media rights hanging
out with Reggie in New York bunch of stuff I come across the growlithe
trainer
the growl of master trainer and pokémon let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee is
named Austin
now I'm not saying that this is intangible proof that the localization
team named it after me I'd never really have much of a connection with growlithe
either as you guys know I my favorite Pokemon is Charmander
there's my Charmander in my shiny Charizard hoodie so the direct
connection between me and growlithe is a little vague at the same time I don't
think they would name me after the Charizard or Charmander trainers
Charmander is Tim Charmeleon is Christopher and Charizard
is Edmond I'm sure that's that's a unique name to pick there's also like a
bunch of other nods to people like the Pikachu master trainer is I could I koe
she's a person who does the Pikachu cry sounds as well as Eevee being aoi aoi
who does Evie's voice in this game which totally makes sense also this this
growlithe is totally gonna beat me it got the poison off it got the toxic off
on me oh that was a lot of poison damage and the The Dig so we'll do a crunch and
now we'll start doing the digs to counteract the digs I'll let you know
how that goes in a minute I haven't been able to find any use of the name Austin
in Pokemon except for two instances one of them was a shiny dustox Oh growlithe
didn't do too well one episode in the anime had a trainer named Austin and it
was a shiny dust ox let's Google this up yeah in the episode crossing paths there
was a trainer named Austin who had a dustox obviously dustox is not in this
game because it's only gen 1 and the only other time that I found Austin I
believe he's the first trainer in a Lola that you battle on like one of those
first routes so there is a chance that they named a Pokemon master trainer
after me I don't know I don't know that'd be pretty cool if they did pretty
cool if they did there's no way to prove whether it is or isn't named after me
unless someone here knows someone on the localization team or their uncle works
at Nintendo then we could clear this all up but until then I'm just gonna believe
that they did well I'm not gonna gloat about it or anything but in the back of
my mind I'm gonna be like they put me in a Pokemon game and they made me an ace
trainer because because I'm good at figuring things out like an ace trainer
does one more thing that's a little bit weird so you know all the Pokemon that
you can ride in this game and how a lot of them make sense the one that really
doesn't make sense is Snorlax why can you ride Snorlax and most importantly
why do you ride him like you're hugging him kind of like Totoro from My Neighbor
Totoro there's been some fan art of Totoro and Snorlax but I'm pretty sure
that the only time we've ever seen anything that looks like a Totoro
Snorlax in an actual game was during the ultra lock with filly do they do they
see my playthrough and we're like let's make it so you can ride Totoro like
Snorlax should there be a Totoro Snorlax and Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's
go Eevee that sounds like something that we would
see in an ultra lock so yes this is an unofficial a notification to you guys I
mean I put it on my community tab and I put it in my discord as well that we are
going to be doing a ultra lock to not final name and for it I want your
opinions your ideas whether you hand draw a Pokemon or whether you have
Photoshop or a Microsoft Paint and you can paint something in do keep in mind
for the ultra lock we can't change the shape of Pokemon but we could change the
textures how they look and everything else someone submitted this pretty
awesome arbok that they like to call venom someone also submitted this star
me which looks like patrick Star and Nightmare fuel mixed together and then
last night I came up with this oddish gloom and vileplume
things like that if there's any fun creative read colorings that you'd like
to see in a Pokemon game you could join my discord or tweet me at Austin Shawn
plays with your own drawing of what you would like in the ultra lock - yeah so
for the first time ever a fan made submission is going to make it into a
Pokemon game so this is kind of like Pokemon put me in the game I'm gonna put
your Pokemon in the game so guys what do you think am I the growlithe master
trainer Austin or is this just a big old coincidence I want to know your thoughts
