82. What 16 Years of Pokémon Content Taught Me – with @Pokecollection
Description
In this refreshingly honest episode, we sit down with industry legend Asad, better known as Pokecollection, who has been creating Pokémon content on YouTube for an incredible 16 years—amassing a loyal following of nearly 39,000 subscribers along the way.
From his humble (and admittedly cringeworthy) early videos to interviewing and befriending Veronica Taylor—the original voice of Ash Ketchum—Asad shares his journey through the ever-changing tides of content creation. He opens up about the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned in the long game of YouTube, including the harsh reality of burnout and why staying connected to your "why" is the key to longevity.
Whether you’re just starting your YouTube channel, feeling stuck in the creator grind, or you’re a seasoned veteran in the content world, this episode is packed with real talk, wisdom, and a lot of heart. Asad also reveals the Pokémon characters and cards that mean the most to him—and why his channel remains a celebration of joy, nostalgia, and authenticity.
