What an awesome chat with Koatsu!!!!! I was equally as nervous when she stepped out and recognized me in the store that day because I still am getting used to that and always wanting to leave a good first impression!! It's amazing to see how much that "shiny encounter" has blossomed into one of the best friendships I've ever had and one of the most fun shiny hunting channels out there. Overall, great episode, and I can't wait to see more amazing content from you and from Kotasu!!!!!!
A real-life Shiny encounter indeed! What a story it is. Thank you for your kind words Matt and for this insight, and so pleased you enjoyed my chat with Katsu!
Describing a shiny hunt as a fidget toy is such a perfect way to say it. My ND brain loves repetitive little tasks I can do while I'm focusing on podcasts or lectures. You are absolutely not the only one who feels that way about it, Kotatsu. Just yesterday my partner pointed out how autistic it was of me to be able to happily sink five or six hours into something many other people would think of as mind-numbing. When I masuda i breed for shininess AND stats AND egg moves AND ability etc just because it makes the process more complicated and the challenge scratches my brain. I guarantee you this is not an unusual take and it was cool hearing you talk about it!
another great episode as always!! it was so great to hear all abt kotatsu's pokemon picks and the stories surrounding them. i can very much relate to starting with ruby but not actually finishing it as a kid lol seems to be a shared experience! also its always nice to see another shantae fan, love that series!!
What a wonderful story, and banger team! I love to hear that other people have "fidget spinner" shiny hunts. I also focus so much better if I have a hunt going on at my desk for work, etc. Also, Phanpy is available at the very start of Crystal version actually, in the grass south of route 45, accessible before Cherry Grove!
Very pleased you enjoyed, Kyle, especially as someone who was theee for that fateful store encounter!! And that’s interesting to hear! Yes just learned about Phanpy in Crystal - very cool!
Great chat to listen to. Kotatsu's love of Pokémon is really infectious, really looking forward to seeing her future videos! Mijo's story is so sweet, saving that little Totodile is such a lovely example of the best spirit in the Pokémon community.
I'm an autistic ADHD adult who has been the pokemon kid my entire life started with Pokemon gold at 7 years old Totodile was my first starter, shiny hunting has been my obsession for the last twelve years it's one of my favorite things to do in Pokemon honestly hearing that most of the people in the shiny hunting server you and Absol are in are neurodivergent is extremely comforting, been a fan of the community for many years seeing that it's not just me makes me feel less alone in the world of Pokemon so thank you and I'm excited to see you grow as a creator and a shiny hunter.
Such a fun interview!! Really enjoyed getting an insight into Kotatsu and her lovely rise within the Pokemon community. She is just as kindhearted as she seemed to be from her own videos, and her drive and the struggles she has been through are very inspiring for me as well. A great interview overall, I have to mention how well the interview style suits the chats and I love the approach with picking out a team and a partner Pokemon as a structure for the interviews. :)
Oh and another thing.. the joy and the journey Kotatsu gets to go on is so incredibly infectious and made me feel so happy for her. I love seeing people live out their passions and dreams, especially if it has not always been easy to hold onto those passions.
@@henk8105 What wonderful words - thank you so much :) It was such a pleasure talking to Kotatsu and I’m very glad you enjoyed. Thrilled to hear you like the format of the show too :)
i relate so much to her w the 3rd movie and the whole being so into pokemon that it was hard to make friends, esp as a kid. even more so when you hit middle school age bc everyone becomes too cool for it. shoutout to everyone w no pokemon friends as kids and also shoutout to ryan reynold!!! i think emolga is a fitting kotatsu pokemon as well!! btw to kotatsu and all the phanpy stans out there: you can get phanpy early in crystal by going into that lower part of route 46 (i think it's 46? you go in a building and out through the other side on the first route and you'll be taken there) where you can find phanpy. i think it has a chance of fleeing in gen 2 iirc so just smth else to keep in mind. happy phanpy finding!
48:16 I just recently discovered this while playing a newly acquired copy of Pokémon Crystal, but Phanpy can actually be found at the very beginning of the game on Route 46! It’s a 5% encounter that only happens in the Morning. It has a chance to flee as well, but once I found out I ran to get one and used it all the way to the final battle with Red. So yeah for anyone who didn’t know that was a thing. Also Teddiursa can be caught in the dark cave outside of Violet City as a morning 5% encounter that can flee as well.
Hey Charlie, what software do you use for these videos? Wanted to help or make a suggestion for the audio and its single-track complication. There is probably a setting nested somewhere in the editing software to make it work aptly in the future. Or maybe you already changed something and it'll be ready for next time. Either way, great that you have a notice and potential workaround listed.
@@meowrer I can’t thank you enough for reaching out, I’ve been struggling so much with this single-track audio issue. Brace yourself for an essay!! This never used to happen. I have a Blue Yeti microphone, I record with Riverside and I edit with Davinci Resolve. I used to record the episodes on my MacBook and the audio was fine (my MacBook has Davinci Resolve 17); now I have a proper PC & camera setup (my PC has Davinci Resolve 19). I recorded episodes 21 & 22 with the new setup and the older webcam I used to use (Nexigo N960E) and the audio was fine. Then I started using my new camera (Sony ZV-E10 Mark 2) for Episode 23 and had to manually switch audio to Stereo in Clip Attributes. The input audio is the Yeti so I don’t know why using my new camera should have changed things. The thing is, I found with Kotatsu’s episode that switching audio to Stereo in Clip Attributes made the sound quality for both of us much worse & quieter. (I gather that Riverside records in Mono, so the audio for clips is automatically set to Mono, even though in DR the sound still comes through both headphones.) However, changing the Track Type on the timeline (rather than changing the Clip Attrubutes) to Stereo made the audio perfect quality and through both headphones. On export, the file on my PC plays through both headphones. On RU-vid on my PC it plays through both headphones. But clearly that isn’t the case for everyone, and on my iPhone the audio only plays through one headphone. It’s very strange! A friend of mine for whom I filmed a scene for their video found that the audio was only coming out of one headphone (I think it’s always the left) - they use Premiere Pro, and they solved it by duplicating the audio track and having one play through the left, one play through the right. I can’t seem to find how to do that on DR. I tried duplicating the audio track and ‘panning’ one all the way to the left and the other all the way to the right, but it didn’t work. In the Clip Attributes, the only option it gives me for the Source Channel is ‘Embedded Channel 1’ which seems strange - I’ve seen others have at least a ‘Mute’ option and not sure if there should be an Embedded Channel 2 option. I wondered about whether I should have my face much closer to the microphone when I record in the hope that then when I switch the audio to Stereo, there’ll be much less of a drop in quality. But I don’t know, and it seems from my friend’s experience above that there should be another workaround, and just generally, as you say, surely there’s some simpler fundamental setting that can be changed? Again, I apologise for the essay haha, just wanted to give as much information as possible in case it’s helpful. Any other info you need do say and I’ll be happy to provide it! Thank you so much again for your comment and looking forward to hearing back :) (and feel free to message me on X or something or email if easier - everything’s in the video description!)
All the information is great, no worries. It'll be easier to reproduce a similar workflow and pinpoint where the hiccup is. For now, here's an express approach, lighter on specifics. While panning audio tracking I'd suspect to be the traditional approach, but as you have expected, what should work, doesn't always like to work. Since most editing software defaults to 2-channel audio, L-R. So when it's given a stereo file, L-R, it'll play those tracks in L-R separately. Panning controls should force one channel to play in both channels, but it's befuddling. So the counter-intuitive suggestion is, to change your files' settings to mono, and change the audio track in the timeline to mono as well. Most editing software will take mono tracks and default to play them across both channels. For the files in Davinci Resolve, get to 'Clip Attributes' -> 'Audio', and under 'Format', change to 'Mono'. Then check the 'Source Channel' is the desired channel, most likely, 'Embedded Channel 1'; since your current setup has the desired audio in the Left channel. Then on the timeline, wherever that clip's audio is, ensure that those tracks are mono as well. Likely, right-clicking within the header column, then 'Change Track Type to' -> 'Mono'. Searching online tutorials with the term 'Davinci Resolve 19 dual mono', will lead to a similar approach and easier-to-follow step-by-step process. Overall give that a try, and let me know was or wasn't about to settle it. What you've attempted before with the 'Embedded Channel 1' / '2' should work too. But somewhere, something is not playing nice. So adjusting it all to mono could fix, or help narrow down where it's still getting hindered.
@@meowrerThank you so much for this - so clips from Riverside are automatically set as Mono in Clip Attributes; the problem with having the track type on the timeline as Mono is that the audio quality is much worse - too quiet & distorted. (It sounds exactly the same if I change the Clip Attributes to Stereo, strangely.) For this and other affected episodes, Clip Attributes = Mono and Track Type = Stereo for best audio quality but of course it only comes through left headphone. I’ve also just tried Clip Attributes Stereo, Track Type Mono and again too quiet & distorted. It seems like I have to choose between good quality & 1 headphone or bad quality & 2 headphones which shouldn’t be the case, right?! What else would you recommend? Thank you again :)
That is strange, how the Mono track in the timeline gets worse in quality compared to Stereo. And for good quality 1 headphone versus bad quality 2 headphones, take the good quality. There are more workarounds to make good quality 1 headphone into 2 headphones, than bad quality 2 headphones into good quality. At this point, would you be willing to share a portion of the Riverside recording? Right after finishing the comment, I'll email you at the address from the description. Google Drive would probably be fine to send files. However, any way you could manage it is fine as well. Yet for now, without inspecting the recording and speculating, maybe the Riverside clips describe themselves as Mono, but have two tracks; one track with the nice recording, and another with nothing/noise. So that's why a Stereo timeline takes only the nice recording, while the Mono timeline takes nice recording + noise. Maybe that's the case. It sorta makes sense, but can also not make sense. A different tactic, say after you finish editing, and it's ready for export and upload, do an audio file-only export. The good quality 1 headphone type. Import that file, and work with that, substituting it over the previous audio, and making it function correctly as Stereo audio. It's not as elegant getting at its source in the first timeline, it would be a way to ensure when it's exported and ready to upload, it'll be correct. It would be extra steps, but has a great chance for the desired outcome.
