Marriland

This is also unrelated to my return or channel or anything, but I beat my second Gold Stake in #Balatro last night, using the Checkered Deck, and that felt good.

I need to grind up some other decks sometime.

Thanks! I hope you’ve been well!

Perfect! Thanks! What great timing haha. Hopefully it won’t be terribly dormant going forward!

Thanks!

That’s awesome! Thanks!

Thank you! That’s so wholesome. Hopefully I’ll be back for a bit this time around! You’ll have to say “wow so about that Marriland stream” now 😆

Hopefully! I’m still trying yo figure things out. Once it’s a bit more stable they will probably show up as upcoming livestreams on YouTube directly. I’m hoping for Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. But I might also do unscheduled night streams too.

Thank you all for the kind words and messages! There have been so many and I’m so grateful for them. I will try to get through some of them, apologies if I don’t reply to yours, but know that I have read it and it means the world to hear your heartwarming messages and stories!

#Marriland20: Mental Health and Channel Update YouTube video by Marriland

I apologize I’ve been absent and away from just about everything for the last year or two!

I will try to be better about that, and have made a new YouTube video talking about what’s been going on and also my plans for 2026, as it marks 20 years on YouTube! #Marriland20

Thank you! Hopefully they are enjoyable! Also shoutout to the posters up in your background too, haha. 😂

I’m not really at a point where I can answer, so I’ll just say that only time will tell but it’s not something I’m actively considering at this point in time, sorry.

A combination of personal reasons and mental health reasons. There are plenty of videos left there for people to watch or rewatch if they feel like it, though!

We created a Starter Pack for Bluesky so that Pokémon fans can connect with fansites and communities on this platform! Check it out and see if you're missing any accounts: go.bsky.app/ARs2VvC

It’s kind of funny, because ever since a friend of mine got one a little less than two years ago, I’ve been meticulously checking every Deerling I pass by to see if any have pink flowers on their heads.

You’d think I’d have found a Shiny one in a group or something, not like this! 😆

Screenshot from Pokémon Scarlet showing a distant view of what I thought was an unidentified mix of a Pokémon resembling either Espeon or Vulpix. It’s actually a Deerling clipping into a Trapinch.

I got a chuckle out of this yesterday in #PokemonScarlet.

I was just cruising around and saw something that looked like a… uhh… Vulpix? Espeon? I couldn’t quite tell.

Went closer. It was actually a Deerling right by a Trapinch.

OH, but that Deerling had a PINK flower 🌸! Finally found one! 🎉✨

Wow, that’s awesome!

Both sound ambitious! Good luck on whichever you go towards first!

Anyway, the moral of this thread is that sometimes one small thing, like starting a #Nuzlocke challenge for the first time with a buddy in a car ride, turns into something huge.

You never know what will lead to adventures or success. Sometimes you just have to follow your Heart...Gold.

Altogether you can watch all of my challenge series in...

🕣 793 hours 35 mins and 37 seconds! 🤯

Which is just over 33 days straight, 24 hours a day!

There's still time before the end of the year! 👀⏳ Get going!! (No, please, don't 🤣)

Want to throw in some of the streamed series that were also archived? Good news, that adds an extra...

🕓 529 hours 25 mins and 21 seconds! (That's over 3 weeks!)

Of course these are a lot less edited, but they're entertaining nonetheless. Good background noise. For 3 weeks.

If you were to start watching all of these series that *weren't* streamed, such as the Emerald #Nuzlocke, HeartGold #Wedlocke, etc., it would take you...

🕑 264 hours 10 mins and 16 seconds (over 11 days!) 😱

This doesn't include any of the stream archive series!

I had to count them up, but since then, I’ve done a total of 25 different #Nuzlocke, #Wedlocke, or similar challenge video/stream series!

Of those:

✅ 18 were wins
❌ 4 were losses
🚫 and 3 were incomplete

I’ve also done at least a dozen off camera, either for myself or with friends.

It was 13 years ago today that I attempted my first ever #Nuzlocke challenge.

It was on HeartGold, during a car ride to St. Louis for a Pokémon tournament in November 2011. I was playing it alongside another friend in the car.

Ended up getting two badges! Didn’t ever continue that one, though.

Congrats on 25 years of Serebii! That’s an awesome accomplishment and it’s wonderful that even after a quarter century you are still providing such a valuable resource to Pokémon fans around the world! #Serebii25

Today is 25 years since I began the site that became Serebii.
It's so surreal that this has gone on for a quarter of a century. The site has grown constantly. The last few years have been the busiest and most used it ever has been. It's wild.

Perfect!

Yes, that’s such a wonderful choice! Espeon is great, such a cool and sleek Psychic-type in general. It is great how it’s still so fondly remembered from Colosseum—that one was so good haha.

Very nice choice and also quite apparent by your handle here! Mawile is a great Pokémon, I agree it has that combo of cute and cool (I’m particularly a sucker for the former), and anytime I’ve used one they’ve been really good, too! Also Mega Mawile was an awesome addition!

Porygon-Z is such a wild but neat Pokémon for sure! I remember when it first came out, it seemed like a joke, but it was also really powerful too!
