Huge thanks to the LEGO Group for sending me the new LEGO Pokémon sets I’ve been really looking forward to the Poké Ball set for a while. I can just tell it’s going to be a fun build and the upscaled figure is great to commemorate the mini figures This will be fun! [Ad - Gift]

No stream tonight! Long story short taking Mochi to training school twice this week, and the class today is early and I cant comfortably fit in a stream. Back tomorrow! (no idea what I'm streaming lmk what you want 🤷‍♀️)

🔴Streams return on Tuesday 8th🔴 I am exhausted. The to do list is long. Both boring adult responsibilities and the #content. I'm trying to pace myself so I dont go into full meltdown mode. Vlog is the priority and I will get that done as soon as I can.

No stream today. We are having our bathroom refitted at the moment and the disruption is stressful. Plumber should be finished tomorrow. The last 3 weeks have been non stop and I need to take a minute to catch up. I have so much to do before Worlds 🫠

It goes without saying really but....no streams this week. Hot.

No stream today. I'm currently reorganising the furniture and the house is a mess. Need to put everything away. I'll be back tomorrow.

I'm so happy to be attending Pokémon World Championships and Pokémon XP as a creator. I've been covering Play! Pokémon events for 15+ years now and I enjoy sharing what they are like in person. Thank you Pokémon UK for providing me with a pass.

This week is a write off for streaming I'm afraid. I'm feeling really unwell. With added sleep deprivation due to a massive storm last night and a very scared dog. See you next week. Maybe Mina the Hollower lets play? 👀

(AD - GIFTED) I'm beating the heat wave by staying inside and playing Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. The game is so unique visually and in gameplay. Which colour of Yoshi is your favourite? Thank you Nintendo UK for providing me with the game.

Marti @virtuallymarti.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

☀️Stream notice☀️ Due to the extreme UK heat I will not be streaming 26-27 of May. Unsure about the rest of the week. Have to see how it goes. The office is far too uncomfortable to work in. I need to be mindful of my health conditions too. See you when I see you.

No stream today. I'm just really not in the right head space to force myself to be entertaining. See you on Monday for the start of Creators for Cures!

Marti @virtuallymarti.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Matching lead too of course. My first partner was Bulbasaur, Joe's was Charmander, and it was only a couple months ago it 'clicked' that Mochi's should be Squirtle because he loves turtles and the colour blue 😅

8.30am and @joemerrick.bsky.social rushes to the door for a delivery. I didn't think we were waiting for anything. Puts a parcel on my desk and says "thank you for looking after me in the upcoming game coverage". Omg 🥹

Marti @virtuallymarti.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

No streams for the rest of the week. Long story short, I really need the time to be doing more urgent things right now, and I'm not feeling energetic enough to 'put on a show'. Maybe an extra long stream on Saturday? 👀🍃🟩

Marti @virtuallymarti.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

No stream tonight! We are having to switch classes for dog training this evening so wont have time to stream before heading out. Be back tomorrow!

(AD - GIFTED) I'm so excited to continue my Pokémon pin trading journey at #PlayPokemon Europe International Championships next week in London. It's so much fun! Thank you Pikachu and Pokémon UK for the extra pins for me to trade (and the cute tote bag too!).

I'm really sorry but I will have to cancel today's stream. I have a very bad headache. Hopefully see you tomorow.

Just want to say thank you to everyone for supporting my content, especially over the last 5 years. Being UK based and making Pokémon TCG opening content is rough 😓

Finally watched K pop demon hunters. Mochi decided half way through that he wanted to bring his bed up onto the foot rest and lay on our feet 🙄

Huge thanks to Razer for sending me their full Pokémon line including Mouse, Keyboard and Headset. My stuff has been getting old so needed the refresh before coverage later this year. Definitely going to get a lot of use 😅 [Ad - Gift]

Sadly going to cancel today's stream. I haven't got enough eggs ready for shiny hunting and to be honest I'm not feeling super energetic to be entertaining today. See you Tuesday.

Marti @virtuallymarti.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

I'm starting off GOFest at home with minimal spawns because we cant both be out all day leaving the curly dood home alone. It's not fair on him. Also it's too hot (and he's hard work if we are looking at phones) for him to come with us. So Joe and I are taking shifts.

All this talk of Worlds Anaheim and I'm still not over Worlds Hawaii tbh. It feels like just yesterday. Every time the video is played on stream I get super emotional for some reason? #PlayPokemon
