    What's up Josh, Joy, and fellow HotFix_Gaming subscribers?! I hope that everyone is doing well on this beautiful Saturday. I can't complain either. This was a great, informative video. It was like a short history lesson, similar to the one y'all did about video game conservation. I really enjoyed it. I've played a lot of game franchises on this list, but I never realized how dangerously close we came to not getting them. It took the impending threat of bankruptcy for their fruition to come about, proving the old adage that pressure creates diamonds. I think it goes without saying that Pokémon and Final Fantasy are the two biggest franchises (and my favorites) on this list, especially the former. I knew that GameFreak published and distributed magazines before Pokémon though.
    It's hard to imagine a world without Pokémon. The series took the world by storm when I was a child and had other forms of merchandise stemming from it, including the comic books, action figures, the Trading Card Game, clothing, etc. Although not as popular today, Pokémon remains a powerhouse of a brand and has experienced a resurgence when Pokémon Go came out. I used to work part-time cleaning a library as my first post-college job. One weekend, we had to do a deep cleaning of the library. Our supervisor said that she would come to help. There was a crew of maybe 10 of us. This lady literally walked around the library playing Pokémon Go on her phone the whole time we were shampooing the carpets and dusting shelves & windowsills. I was mad as heck at the time. I mean she was our supervisor and the one who signed our checks, but simultaneously, why say you're going to help and not follow through? Then you're playing a game while the rest of us are hard at work. Now, 10 years later, I can laugh about it. 😂😭🤣😅😂

      Hey @EBrant_3rd, Doing well at the moment, thanks and enjoying Sunshine haha. Hope you are well too? Glad you liked the video, this one was shorter compared to that one. They are huge them two and honestly did not know they were solely magzine distributors until researching for this.
      Bet you were furious and completly understand where you are coming from when supervisors say they'll help and do not. Can say she got paid trying to catch them all haha. But glad you look back at it and laugh about it.
