- UA-cam in it's current landscape has a lot of heavily edited content made for people with low attention spans to be able to consume enjoy easily as well as people with longer attention spans can enjoy the content as it has way more content compressed within shorter timespans. This was however not always the case. There was a while where Let's plays dominated the space as longer videos got pushed more making it one the most popular content types on the platform. However sadly moist let's players have either over time started making other types of content or has no where close to their previous viewership however there is one let's player who does not seem to have this issue and his name is Emile "Chuggaaconroy" Rosales.

The one thing that's always amazed me about Emile is that after the first year or so of his channel, there are no calls to action. No sponsorships, no "like, comment, subscribe". He's also the only member of the extended TRG circle who doesn't stream (occassional co-coms notwithstanding). He's just been consistently doing his thing the way he wants to, algorithm be damned.
He originally wanted to do streams but there "was a fight to get the chuggaaconroy twitch account" turns out he had a justin tv account that was grandfathered into twitch and he completely forgot he made one
@@gaymerjerry lmao that’s hilarious
A part of me always liked how consistently the same chuggaaconroy has been
Its like revisiting a nice old restaurant, you know what you are getting
but at the same time a part of me wishes he was more ambitious about growing his channel out more. What I would really love is seeing him really thriving doing what he has done even if he has to change somethings around, I want to see him be really successful after so long.
Some of his approach I just don't understand like doing an indepth analysis on splatoon 1 and 2's multiplayer during times they are really not relevant. The information compiled for it is really detailed but I don't feel the need to use it since I won't use that info for splatoon 3
One of the things I would imagine that would help his growth is if he did detailed playthroughs on more newer titles, even if he can't go as detailed- giving others important info for what they are currently playing is super attractive. Imagine seeing Chuggaa do a big Tears of the Kingdom LP like 1-2 months after it was released for example. Hell, we all love his detailed LPs but it would also be fun to see him do blind LPs once in awhile. We all love his personality too and getting to see him react and learn about a game for the first time sounds like so much fun. Like if we watched chuggaa go through sonic frontiers on release and just enjoying him play for the first time.
He also always has quality videos
@@jensennguyen02 I could see that coming considering he did Pokémon Rescue Team DX two months after its launch, even though that is due to the fact that he originally planned for the original Rescue Team game and ended up scraping it following the announcement of its remake.
I don't watch Chugga all the time but I've watched every Pokemon playthrough he's done and it's always so fucking cool how much information there is when he talks about the games he's playing I love everything he does he's a very genuine guy that loves what he does
I don't watch him all the time either, I found him through his Crystal playthrough and than occasionally ended up watching some of his other ones like Okami and Kid Icarus
@@RealatGabbe The Mario and Luigi games were fun to watch too Superstar saga is my favorite
@@vigorouspringle8962 haven't seen it but I'll give it a shot
I genuinely have referenced his Let’s Plays for so much information. He’s always been really detailed about things and you learn some great things as you watch along. I would never have considered Lilligant for my Pokemon White Nuzlocke if I hadn’t seen Emile go into how it manages to have Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, Giga Drain and Petal Dance. And he hasn’t changed either; last month I was learning weapon play styles for Splatoon 2 that I hadn’t been able to touch yet before Splatoon 3 came out. It’s one of things that I really think makes his Let’s Plays great.
The fact that he scraped together a e reader and eon ticket just to show off what happens instead of using emulators (which he prefers not to use when he doesn't have to) is an astounding level of commitment and passion. I wish I could watch more of him, my first UA-camr and felt like my only true friend in a time where those were hard to come by. I sort of "grew out of him" and branched out, but always kept subscribed and remember all the fond memories of watching him religiously. Part of me wants to get back into his content but I feel like the part of me that was the super fan was left behind when I grew up.
Tl;Dr My praise of Chuggas commitment to his content got derailed into depressing nostalgia talk.
Emile is my favorite UA-camr. No exaggeration, he is my number 1 favorite person ever. He's my inspiration and the reason I always do my damndest to stay positive all the time (without going too far ofc). He's also the reason I love my favorite games. I probably would've never even heard of Xenoblade Chronicles or even Mother 3 without him, and those are some of my favorite games ever. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I cannot imagine the person I'd be today without him.
Definitely, I've watched him since the Emerald let's play, to this day he's still amongst my favourites.
I watched so many of his LPS, he's a god-tier UA-camr, if such a thing could exist. He's passionate about many games, which I appreciate.
It's actually crazy that without Emile I don't think we would have ever gotten any Xenoblade sequel in the west
Same.
truly he changed my life and shaped who am i today, his positivity is incredible im so glad i found him when i entered youtube rather than more toxic communities as a young impressionable kid
Chuggaaconroy is the king of LPs. No one else puts as much effort or passion into their videos even non-LP channels don't put that much effort into videos. This man is above all else a legend.
Nah, nah. One man matches him: ChristopherOdd.
If there’s anyone that deserves to be the biggest surviving let’s player, it’s him. Chugga never chases trends. He just does what he loves and those who want to see it will come.
How I'm tryna be
I think what makes Emile great is that he doesn't do blind lets plays. Some of the most popular lets players will make a playthrough of popular or current games, but chuggaa will only play games he wants to, or has something to say about.
He did sonic colours because he wanted to share how good sonic games CAN be, and he wanted to do Eternal Sonata if I remember, because its a hard game to get a ahold of that he enjoys and wanted to spread that love.
He mainly does games he enjoys playing and ends up sharing it with ever higher quality every year
I find it mind boggling that Chugga's channel has not only survived, but thrived in this day an age.
I used to love his stuff and would watch it with my friends when I was a teenager over a decade ago. The I hit a point where Let's Plays really weren't something I had time for, as well as the fact that I sort of just grew out of his sense of humor. I don't think if someone were to do the same thing he's doing nowadays it would work out nearly as well for them, but that's sort of just part of the charm of his channel. He really is one of the only, if not THE ONLY, channel that is left that focuses 100% on Let's Playing. Even if his uploads aren't always super consistent or if some of his series can take literal years to complete, he just makes stuff in such an informative and sometimes wholly unique way that it's impossible not to be at least a little interested in what he's still doing.
You say 100% and that’s what usually separates most LPs from Chuggaa’s. He always makes sure to show the whole game. In and out. Every little thing and often takes points from his viewers who wish to contribute to the melting pot. Everyone else either just does a standard playthough and done or just stop. Emile doesn’t stop.
This man made my childhood, he will always be my comfort UA-camr to watch when things get difficult or I just need happiness! First UA-camr I watched and loved when I was a child on the internet
Great video btw, gives Emile the recognition he deserves!
Something that I've noticed, is that he feels like when you would go over to your friends house and watch them play games as a kid. He's so knowledgeable and allows you to experience the game second hand, allowing for people who either don't have access to the games or don't want to commit the time to them to still enjoy and experience the game.
I completely agree. I hope I can meet Emile one day in the future... My brother has met the whole TRG once at a convention! Got their autographs and I believe he talked to ProtonJon for a bit.
Emile and Tim remain REMARKABLY consistent. Jon less so, but he’s having fun doing his streams. Emile’s research is incredible.
Tim’s laidback nature of just playing the game through to completion is also very consistent. After all this time, he just still does his thing. Also doesn’t hurt he’s one of the 1st lp’ers. I can’t remember if he’s THE 1st, but I know he’s close.
I have massive respect for all the runaway guys. They remain a blast to watch which is amazing as they still find a way to connect to young and old alike. I’ll never stop watching them.
It goes that Emile was inspired by Jon and that Tim was inspired by Emile. So Tim definitely wasn’t the first.
Chugga was my childhood. In fact, with the recent Dream stuff going around, it's very reminiscent of how hyped everyone was for Chugga himself to reveal his face, though of course not to same degrees. I remember watching those marathons he did every year for charity where he'd play thorough the entirety of a franchise with buddies while staying up like 2 days straight. God, what a good time to be a 10 year old with aspergers. Emile you're my hero.
he's still great
I think it’s remarkable how consistent his quality is and, despite having growing up in an abusive household, he maintains a general positive outlook on life.
It really is, it's something I have so much respect for!
If I had a nickel for every time an anime-focused channel did a one-off video to gush about chuggaaconroy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Please don't drop off like the other one did, good luck with your channel man
Edit: I enjoyed the other channel, it just became inactive. I'm not going to mention said channel here, if you really are curious you should probably be able to find it.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
wait who was the otherone
Who was the other one?
Something I think is really good about him is that he tends to cut the videos off very appropriately. He's good at not leaving you hanging, actually completing the goals he set out to do. That makes his videos very nice to watch, as it's all contained within a single video.
He puts an incredible amount of attention to detail, which is what I truly like about his videos. I haven't really watched much of his recent stuff, watching the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 series lazily, but nothing else right now.
I does sometimes leave cliffhangers, especially in story focused games, which also generally come with omitting his usual outro, letting the end screen linger on the shocking scene.
I can definitely say that in his Xenoblade 3 LP a few years from now, the episode ending chapter 5 won't have an outro and will end off on the end of chapter screen.
The beautiful thing is that most big youtubers have talked about and some even have credited chuggaaconroy as their inspiration for getting into youtube. He's honestly just as much of the face of youtube like pewds, mark, Jack and many more. His name and channel withstood throughout these years and is one of the *VERY* very few channels that has remained up when posting videos of Nintendo games, when Nintendo itself has the infamous reputation of copyright striking videos down in the past; He just might be one of the few channels that Nintendo respects enough to let him post up their games and possibly enjoys what he does.
Not only is he the most consistent, but I'd argue he's also one of the most beloved on this site. Genuinely don't know where I'd be without having seen his content for the first time in 2013. It has inspired so much of what I do now as an adult, and has gotten me through a lot of really difficult things.
There will always be a special place in my heart for Emile/Chuggaaconroy! Always.
I love how matter of fact he is in some of his games. My favourite Chuggaconroy moment will always be that moment in his Platinum playthrough where he catches his Slakoth in the Pal Park from his Emerald playthrough, while talking about how the cat he named the Slakoth in that playthrough after, died during the making of the Platinum playthrough, and he just let the moment sink as he caught and thus transferred this now lore important Slakoth become immortalized in a superior cartridge
Emile was the first channel I remember actively watching. Let's Plays in the early parts of the platform where a pillar for myself and my brother growing up during some tough times. The way Chuggaa dives into EVERY aspect of a given game, mechanics, hidden behind the scenes aspects, lore and the fact that Let's Play's are a way to entertain and inform. He's one of the hardest working on the platform. I have so much respect for him and TRG as a whole. Thank you for this video, you definitely earned the sub!
Edit: Spelling/Final Thought
this man made me realize i’m on the spectrum, only after i watched his content for ten years
Honestly, I kinda feel you there
same
Lmaooo same he makes me feel better about my recent diagnosis
Chuggaa is a huge part of my childhood, his videos has gotten me through many hard times and every video is better then the last. I hope he keeps making videos for a long while, so long as it makes him happy of course!
It's great seeing the positive effect he has had on people! :D
Chugga has, for me, always been about the content he produces and not much else. This has been, in my opinion, his greatest quality. The consistency you mention can be found in his unbridled enthusiasm for his projects, and his continued gift of being a great entertainer. I can always go back to him and find the same old Emile I found endearing all those years ago. Despite all these years passing, it never gets old.
Thanks for making this tribute to the man, the myth, the long-standing legend himself! Most of all, if he sees this, thank you very much Emile for years of fun!
Chugga might have been the first or one of the first youtubers I watched when I was little. I remember watching his old LPS like paper mario ttyd, legend of zelda games, etc and I absolutely loved his way of doing them so I'm happy that to this day he sticks with what he loves doing and does it 50 times better. Honestly the biggest reason why people, me included, watch Emile is himself and his bright personality. I've stopped watching a lot of youtubers because I didn't really like their content anymore but Emile will never stale out. Great video on this topic btw keep up the good work!
Thank you so muich! Means a lot that you enjoyed it! :D
Chuggas Okami Let’s Play introduced me to one of my favorite games of all time. I can never thank the man enough for changing my outlook on games in general in a time where just picking up a controller felt like a chore and FOMO was the only reason I played games back then. Glad to see he’s had as big an impact on others
Emile is the sole reason I am so into ge Xenoblade series, and was the sole reason I bought Kid Icarus: Uprising. He was a massive influence on my childhood and I'm so happy he's still doing well
Emile deserves so much love. He’s too underrated.
One thing I always like to say about UA-camrs: Viewers can tell when you're having a good time, more than you may realize. If you love what you're doing, chances are viewers will love it too.
Emile is my favorite UA-camr full stop. I remember when I was in Elementary school watching a Mario sunshine walkthrough then the very next episode went to a Chuggaaconroy LP of the game, I was surprised by Someone talking.
Then I became interested in watching a playthrough of brawl subspace and was surprised to hear him on the collab channel.
Crazy to think I’ve been watching him for about half my life.
So many other UA-camrs have either stopped or changed dramatically over time but Emile has been putting out the same content with the only change being higher quality microphones smoother editing.
Chuggaa to this day is the youtuber where I watch pretty much everything he put out on his main channel. I think the only one I have not seen is his mario party board with Masae.
That was fun to watch. I think it's over on Masea's channel as a filler.
I think what makes Emile so likeable is his personality. You can tell just from watching any of his videos that he loves what he does and wants to shed his joy to others. He doesn't do what most UA-camrs does such as heavily edit his videos, clickbait thumbnails or titles, or the "like, comment and subscribe" bull. He's all about providing entertainment and teaching others about the games he loves and it's why people come back to him throughout these years. My personal favorite Let's Play he did is Pokémon Platinum. It's my favorite Pokémon game and I thought I knew everything about it until I watched his LP and learned stuff I never knew about. My other favorites are his Xenoblade LP, Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They're all endearing to watch and some of the funniest moments are there. Overall, I hope Emile stays true to himself forever
Chuggaconroy was the first youtuber I've ever watched and even though I don't watch every single let's play he does, I always find myself falling back to his channel and enjoying his videos once in a while.
The meticulous amount of planning and attention to detail is always so great!
I've always thought that Chuggaa was one of the most in-depth, detailed let's players of all time. I started watching his content all the way back in 2009 and fell in love with it, even inspired me to create content on youtube some years later and then later start my twitch channel (I know he doesn't stream often, if at all but let's playing carried my way to eventually moving to twitch). It's so mind-blowing how much effort he puts into his channel and I completely agree that he has to be the greatest let's player in history so far. Loved the video.
Chugga is without a doubt, my favorite youtuber. First youtuber that I remembered to come back to as a kid, and still now enjoying his content today!
There's not been a youtuber i've been a fan of longer than Emile's. I started watching when he did Pokemon Emerald, I met him once (i was so embarassing lol), and now like ten years later, I still keep up with his stuff. i even rewatch his series a lot.
Chuggaaconroy never lost his smile, nor did he drop it or fake it.
Emile is part of the best type of community, known as the TRG community. They just have fun, who loves what he does. From his insane luck, to ProtonJon’s rage and their genuine, true friendship. For the past, almost 15 years these original three guys have grown and become a still wholesome community of friends who just want to have fun. For the past 5 years, on ProtonJon’s Twitch channel, they host a weekend event to raise money for Direct Relief. These are just good people who want to do good. For those who want to go back and check him out, he has a brand new LP he’s working on. So that’s something to look forward to.
Emile 10,000% has an appeal with just the kind of creator he is. Between his dedication to what's become a niche, less popular format of gaming content, his positive, cheery, & sometimes cheesy personality it's pretty hard to hate really, the amount of depth and detail he puts into his LPs making a lot of his ventures like detailed guides practically, but also his sheer love & passion for the games he plays when combining all of this. I'm not an avid LP watcher nor do I watch Chugga that much, once in a blue moon if I'm being honest, but he is definitely one of the content creators I respect & admire the most and one of the creators that serves to present a value, branch of flexibility & appreciation for Let's Plays in general.
UA-cam algorithm be damned, he's a man who adores both his craft and the craft of his passion for gaming and he wears that shit on both sleeves, I'm glad Emile's found a calling with content creation and has amassed the insanely dedicated, not even just huge, but dedicated & supportive fanbase he has, all of which he completely deserves. He's pretty dang great.
I don't watch him a lot nowadays, but he'll always have a special place in my heart. Learned a lot about pokemon from his let's plays and even introduced me to series I've never heard of, mainly the Mother series. Emile will always be the GOAT of let's plays for me.
Emile's videos might not be as flashy as some other content creators but he has such a charm to all his videos, he does not only play games but also analyzes them and gives fun behind-the-scenes facts that some may not know, not to mention he is really funny. He was one of the first UA-camrs I watched and is still one of my fav UA-camrs to this day, He deserves all the love and respect he gets.
Been watching Chugga for well over 10 years now and he has always been the one UA-camr I go back to. I don't watch any of the people I used to when I was young expect him. He just understands the LP genre more than anyone has or will TBH. The passion, time and energy that he puts into his videos are amazing. It's so refreshing to watch someone who is clearly passionate about the games they play and wants to share that with the world. I've learned so many things about my favourite video games from him specifically. It's just so cool to watch someone who takes time to learn the ins and outs of all the games they play. I couldn't even imagine how much work goes into a single one of his projects, its mind-blowing. You can just tell that he's so genuine and doesn't do UA-cam for the fame or attention. And that fact is what makes him so consistent. If you haven't watched him before I urge you to do so.
He makes videos because he loves doing it and sharing these amazing games and all their information with us. I truly wish I could meet him one day to tell him how much he shaped my childhood and in turn my adult life. I still remember being 8 and watching every single one of his Pikmin videos as they came out, its insane to think how long ago that was. I truly grew up with him and I wouldn't ask to have grown with any other person. He inspires me so so much! I will forever support Emile in everything he does, even if it doesn't interest me. He's been the only constant in my life and I'm so so happy I found him when I did. Such an amazing and driven person!! He is insanely inspiring still to this day, definitely my role model!!
Great video BTW you got my sub!!!! Keep it up :)))
Out of all the initial UA-camrs I watched when I first joined UA-cam, Emile is the only one who continues to grow without stagnation and or the only one who is still making content.
Despite growing up, I still find his content entertaining. I don't always have the time to watch, but when I do I can guarantee that I'll have a great time. Not to mention, he was the reason I decided to give Xenoblade a shot, later becoming my favorite franchise.
No questions asked, Chugga is my favorite UA-camr, and he has been for over a decade. Just the sheer amount of care he puts into everything, as well as just being a genuinely great person, keeps me coming back.
I started watching Chugaaconroy back when his channel started with Earthbound. His channel was very comforting for me to watch during my tumultuous high school and college years. He has even helped bring video games to my attention that I never heard of and open my eyes to look for games I didn’t originally know about. He has helped me realise a passion for video games I always had. I may not watch his channel as much as I used to but I’m still subscribed to him all of these years later so when there is a series he does that I’m interested in, I’ll always give them a watch. A lot of other let’s players have fallen off due to mine or the lets players lost interest. I’m happy Chuggaa is still around doing what he loves and I hope to always check his content out when the time comes again and again.
The first video of his I watched was so funny it had me in hysterics, and that is NOT easy. He DESERVES to be popular.
One of the biggest reasons his let's plays are so good, are like you said, they're really in depth, but that's just a symptom of the reason. Not the reason itself. You started to touch on it, but I think you didn't quite pull enough attention to it.
Chuggaconroy LOVES gaming. He LOVES video games, and when he's crafting a let's play, you FEEL his love for the game, and you have no choice from his pathos to really see the game the way he sees it: as a true work of art.
My favorite let's play of his was his Chrono Trigger let's play, because honestly, he treated the game with this feeling of reverence and almost sacredness. He treated it as a true masterpiece, something that belonged in a museum of art, and it almost seemed at times that you could get emotional because YOU agreed with him after watching it.
He goes out of his way to make sure you know the game he's playing is special, and why you should consider giving your time to it/him.
Chugga was the first Let's Player I ever watched. I had no interest in Super Paper Mario but UA-cam just kept recommending it to me. I'm so glad it did because I went from not having any interest, to being excited to come home every day and watch a bit more of his playthrough when I had the chance. Most games I wouldn't have considered looking into, while watching his playthroughs, I gained a new appreciation for them. And of course through him I found out about TRG.
To this day every now and then I pop back over to his channel to see what he's playing, sometimes rewatching previous playthroughs when I can.
Thank you Chugga, for being yourself and keeping the spirit alive.
Emile was the one that introduced me to Super Paper Mario, my favourite video game story of all time, and Pikmin, one of my favourite franchises (actually stoked for Pikmin4!). I’ll never forget how important he was to my childhood, and even now I still watch his playthroughs, especially on replays. I have so much respect for him, What a great guy.
He introduced me to Paper Mario too! And Animal crossing, Pikmin, and probably a bunch of others
Thank you sooo much for this! Chuggaconroy is still my number one UA-cam gamer/lper he was the only consistent thing in my life from childhood to adulthood...I'd cry while listening to his vids they'd bring my smile back.No matter how rough UA-cam got even after the slaughter of the let's play era he continued his uploads and stayed in his lane out of drama. He a golden example that if you put time into your niche community (even at the risk of irrelevancey) they'll not only keep returning, but bring others with them keeping the fire burning bright
I’m happy Chuggaa is still making videos. He makes my days so much better and I rewatch his old LPs too
FINALLY
Someone made a video essay on Chuggaaconroy
I always use him as *the* example of "old youtube"
Seeing him still get viewership in this day and age makes me happy
I remember one day when I came home from one of my first weeks of middle school when my little sister showed a funny video she found of Chuggaconroy's Pokémon Emerald compilation of his freakouts/funny and weird noises. And I had just created my Google account and thus decided to link it to UA-cam and I actually watched a bunch of his videos before I subscribed to him.
Meaning that not only have I been subscribed to his UA-cam channel the longest, but he was the very first.
And to this day, actually watching multiple videos that someone's made before subscribing to their UA-cam channels is the sort of honor of that very few UA-camrs have from me. Not just being an impulse click, not just liking a video before I've seen it at least part way through, feeling like more than just a random entertaining video that I happen to like, not just some content that I enjoy but I have to click the Like Button and Subscribe to them because of how I know that the corrupt and low quality biasd UA-cam algorithm forces everyone too and punishes every content creator who doesn't just keep vomiting more and more spammed content that's quickly lost any and all life to it that made it appealing in the first place.
And that really is hard to come by given that most of the people who could stand up against all that have either long since been pushed of the cliff by the UA-cam algorithm and it increasingly deplorable state as a media platform all in an effort to make more money off of this innocent people, or have since had things happen in their own lives which cause them to either quite or sadly force them to retire from being a UA-camr. Be it because of personal choices and goals interfering with creating content or finally getting the chance to get the dream job or career or field of work that they've always wanted and knew that UA-cam as a career was never something they wanted to do forever.
And Emile really has been through it all for as long as UA-cam itself pretty much and there certainly weren't that many people like him to begin with and he's always just been there for everyone even after all this time. And that's something that truly commands respect and honor like very little else on the internet.
Of course we know that UA-cam is never something that lasts forever especially in terms of actually being a UA-camr. And Chuggaconroy has stated as such multiple times now that eventually at one point he will eventually take a new step on a new path with studying journalism as he's indicated and take his life elsewhere working in media. But he's also not going anywhere right now and for the near to further future.
But when he does eventually go, he will have left behind probably the biggest and most long standing record and ultimate impact on the internet media platform and his legacy that he made with his countless followers and subscribers along with some of the best friends anyone could ever imagine in his life will be one that is unbeatable and impossible for anyone to recreate let alone somehow top. And when he leaves this corner for the world of media, he will no doubt make a much better place with his skill, passion, kindness, laughs, smiles, and unsilencible voice that he will have used to touch and forever change the countless lives of people all over the world for the better of it.
And there's no joke about that.
I heavily agree! You can tell how passionate he is with everything he makes as well as how he always wants to make the best content he can, he is such a huge inspiration when it comes to making quality content!
One of the things that makes me enjoy chugga is his commitment to show the most amount of stuff of the games as possible, doing 100%, lost media, things from outside the game, etc. I love it
Hearing Porter Robinson music in a video about Chuggaaconroy is so surreal to me, because I didn't even know those fanbases overlapped
Chugga is the greatest let’s player and one of the best youtubers for so many reasons. 1.He’s funny 2.He never talks about drama and 3.He just seems like a genuinely nice person
LOVE Emile’s videos!! Have been a big fan on and off from the start before being a consistent fan. Have watched many of his Let’s Plays more than once and it is always a treat. Such a highly underrated creator with fun wholesome content
Emile is one of the first youtubers I truly fell in love with so long ago, beginning with his Okami Let's Play, and kept up with ever since. He supported me through a lot of times of hardship, and helped me fall in love with a lot of games, and taught me so much more about series I already loved. He's truly a hidden, underrated gem, and I'm so glad he's going strong today, and I love seeing people talk about him. Here's to hoping that he thrives in the future too!!
Its crazy to think in the span of my life there is more years that I've been consistently watching Emile's content than not, and I STILL get excited for his new LP announcements. He has inspired me so much, like his Pokemon bios sparked a love for infographics where I will make bios or fact lists on things simply for fun.
He’s one of the most genuine and friendliest guys to exist I’ve watched his channel since I was a little kid in like second grade when I watched him play pikmin, im now in my first year of college and I still love him, so happy to see him at 1 mil
Funny, someone just asked me who my favorite UA-camrs are, and Chuggaaconroy immediately came to mind, and I didn't even find his channel until around 2013/14 when I was missing Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and wanted to see if anyone had ever covered it. You nailed every aspect of why I respect the guy, and why I always plug him when I talk to other people.
This video was so heartwarming. I watched Chuggaaconroy since I was 9 years old and now I’m 19 and it’s awesome to see he still is relevant and his personality has only shined more and positive. I don’t watch as constant as I use to but now im watching the redo of Paper Mario he is currently and it’s like going down memory lane. I truly think Chuggaaconroy is the greatest let’s player of all time
Chuggaa is an inspiration for many of the later UA-camrs that do let’s plays kinda like how many modern Minecraft people have some og Minecrafter as inspiration or how some rappers have a favorite rapper that’s an og. The one I can think of off the top of my head is Alpharad. He’s talked about his respect and love for Chuggaa in some of his videos. These influential channels are sometimes the biggest influences for future stars and it is sad when they aren’t talked about much by younger viewers, but their influence can be seen and felt. I hope Chuggaa and all the great ogs of UA-cam stay strong and keep inspiring people.
man i remember i watched chuggaconroy when i was a kid who barely understood basic english. i don't know what it is about him (maybe the fact he is hispanic too?) that made him so, so easy to understand what he was saying. i remember watching his mario sunshine playthroughs in particular, alongside other gamecube games, as i didn't have a gamecube and thought i never would have one.
then, years, YEARS later, i was looking up splatoon videos, and bam. he shows up with the most in-depth weapon guide i'd ever seen for every weapon in the game. and i still enjoyed it. i don't know what it is that makes him timeless, but i truly felt like i was a kid again. godspeed, chuggaconroy. godspeed.
Chuggaconroy is the best youtuber in my opinion
From having a lot of interesting things to say to the amazing puns and to the random silly moments, he will always be my favorite youtuber
I remember randomly comming across his SPM LP way back, but forgetting his name. Then I ran into his LPs again, watched.. a good amount of them, and fell in love with his enthusiasm and informative yet entertaining display of the game he's playing. I've been a fan of him ever since, and while he is a goofball most of the time, there's also times where he does genuinely say things that hit close to home. I wouldn't remember them, but I know they're there.
TheRunawayGuys and WiiLikeToPlay were the two greatest LP collab channels at the time I started watching youtube. I BINGED playthroughs of New Super Mario Wii U, Mario Party, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, you name it. While Chugga is the only one of the mentioned that I watch anymore (I mean his solo channel. I still watch TheRunawayGuys), I still wish the best to them all and I even drop by their channels every once in a while to relive nostalgia.
another big thing that has made emile still be so prevalant is his joy of the game he plays
Been following his new PM let's play, probably the first time in the last 8 or 9 years I've watched Chuggaa. The detail and authentic passion he puts into all of his content is unparalleled. He's THE definitive let's player. Almost like a savant lol I love how he's affected my life all the way from 16 years old to now being a 28 year old real adult with a career watching Paper Mario before bed.
Chugga was one the OGs, it’s honestly remarkable how he’s managed to keep it up for this long!
The finale of Chuggaa's Paper Mario lets play is on later today, I can't wait to watch it! Chuggaaconroy was one of the first youtubers I ever watched, and he's still going strong! The first lets play I watched from him was his SM64DS LP, and I would say it's my favorite as well.
Chuggaaconroy is the very first Let's Player i truly got into. I've been watching his videos for 14 years
Chugga was the first UA-camr I watched, he and the other runaway guys introduced me to the very concept of video games, and for that I thank him for introducing me into such interesting world
I remember being young and glued to the screen watching his firered let’s play, I had watched other UA-cam videos at the time but none from the same creator, becoming attached to one’s style. Chugga got me into UA-cam creators as a whole, as well as most of the games he plays, namely Pokémon, paper Mario, okami, sunshine, and so on.
Thank you, chuggaaconroy
“Why do you take my puns away? they’re all I have in this cold, dead world.” Moooood
See, people will at Pewdiepie was the mastermind behind let’s plays. He and others like say Markiplier are definitely the kind of guys that bring in star power, being more well edited and more reactionary. But those that lived way back when UA-cam was still growing know the pioneers for that would be the guys behind Runaway guys. Chuggaa being the prime example. And even than, he has stayed very consistent with not only his uploads but the style of content. Since most of the let’s players of the day and even nowadays, they do part time streaming to diversify income and content. But Chuggaa has been a let’s player on UA-cam and hadn’t changed that formula after all these years. That’s the kind of effort that’s very commendable.
HCBailly is an old legend. I still watch Deceased Crab, another one who has stuck around for a long time. Deceased Crab has been around for a really long time, HCBailly about as long as Emile.
another great old one is raocow, hell I think you can count how many days they missed their daily uploads on one hand (I think once only)
I am one of Chuggas biggest fans. I love his LPS. I legitimately get excited when he uploads his hints on what the new LPs are . And enjoy watching every LP of his. He is my inspiration as a person and makes me enjoy Pokemon and Zelda even more. His Pokemon LPs are amazing. The amount of depth is amazing
He approaches LPs like both a product and a piece of art, for both our enjoyment and his own. The effort and detail he puts into them has proven time and again that the months-long wait between LPs, even the occasional hiatus mid LP as he travels for conventions, are entirely worth it.
His LP announcements give me the same kind of anticipation I feel when a Direct is announced, even if the game isn't something I considered before. He is the Nintendo of LPers.
Chuggaaconroy was the first youtuber I found & regularly watched, catching the end of his Super Mario Sunshine LP in 2009. While I don't watch his videos as much as I used to (mainly because of not having the time or interest in some of the games he's LPing) I'm really happy that he's still around doing what he does.
He's definiely been my inspiration for creating content. I got bored of his videos around the Earthbound remaster, but after that lp was done I liked the content except for chrono trigger, and then I went back and watched both all the way through and found myself liking them, he has a fantastic way of introducing you into a game series or one off that you may not like and not many other people can do that.
I like Chugga because he knows what he's doing in a game. He gets to the point quickly in a video.
Honestly Chugga is the most wholesome UA-camr of all time. This man managed to avoid all the drama that comes with being a popular UA-cam entity.
It's been many years but I never forgot Chuggaaconroy. I remember his 20 facts video, that silly april fools joke of a Megaman video, the poll for the Yoshi’s name in TTYD, and the announcement for TRG.
It all started with Pikmin 1, and, as soon I started watching this guy, I was hooked into how he was explaining the story and mechanics of the game. Didn’t take too long, but made sure to get to main parts…
Then I got to the parts where his infamous STEVE and blue Pikmin freak out happened, and I just fell in love. I would always watch this guy on my laptop after school or desktop, back when I didn’t have to worry about college or life. Just enjoy doing school work while hearing him do a freak out.
I never thought about how depressed he sounded in Sunshine or paper Mario 1 (unsure if he was) since I thought maybe, for someone with a lot of energy, he would be sorta low at first… then I hear about his story at SMG2…
Emile, even today I’m happy you’re still around you bundle of energy. I wish I could meet you dude. Huge fan with millions of old fans.
He may not be up there as he used to, but god it’s so refreshing to see him play old games that were all nostalgic to us.
Chugga was such a massive part of my childhood, I never knew about Super Mario Sunshine until I stumbled upon episode 1 of his playthrough. It still to this day is my favourite mario game and I can’t help but hear him wherever I go in the game
I have been a fan of Chugga’s since his Mother 3 let’s play and he is still someone I look forward to watching. He is the GOAT
I’ve watched him for ten years, I may forget him on occasion but when I return, it always feels like a nostalgic trip
This video actually made me realize that perhaps with how much I used to Watch Chugga it might have actually fundamentally changed how I play video games since I find that I always try to see and do everything in a game I'm playing through which looking back at my childhood wasn't something I think I really did all that much back then, but nowadays the thought of missing something really bugs me and perhaps the thoroughness of Chugga, or perhaps lets plays in general, caused me to shift to that mindset. It's kind of a crazy thing to consider that such a thing could happen just from watching other people play through games.
Chuggaa is someone who manages to grab my attention even with games I haven't played, nor do I intend on playing. For example, I have no interest in playing Splatoon 2 simply because I don't really like shooters (I did play the original and it just wasn't for me), yet I watched every episode of his LP simply because he is that entertaining.
Chuggaa is who got me into youtube, inspired me to try my hand at content creation, and gave me content that spoke to me when traditional media failed me. On top of that, he went above and beyond attempting to post all the secrets, research, little known information, and pushing the boundary on what graphics and the collective of artists on the internet could do when they band together. Even as my tastes have changed and I no longer watch let's plays, the fact that he's essentially a videogame archivist alongside being an artist makes me respect him and am grateful he's continued to "chugg" along to this day.
Why is Chuggaaconroy successful? I think it's a combination of his charisma and just how informative his content is. His Let's Plays are a one-stop shop for entertainment *and* information.
You have been blessed by the algorithm.
You are not wrong 😂
What I love about Chuggaaconroy (besides of his consistency) is how he always improves. Let’s take his LP’s of the 2 main Xenoblade games. They both have very similar styles where text boxes pop up to show how to start side quests and what you need to do and while both are very well done, you can notice changes like how for 1’s, they take up a lot more room while for 2’s, they take up a lot less of the screen. Little changes like that help show how Emile has changed with time.
Emile stuck to what HE wanted to do not what was or is trendy, let's plays may not be as popular but there is an audience for them. Guys like Emile, Tim (nintendocaprisun) koopakungfu & JoshJepson all inspired me & not doubt countless others to make our own LPs. Without them I wouldn't have made a channel, if you want to make LPs learn from the best like chugga but dont copy them, be yourself! It's your shared experience with a game that the audience comes & stays for. Keep going, no matter how small your channel there is an audience! I'm grateful to Chugga and others for pioneering the art of Let's Playing & paving the way. Thanks Emile!
CHUGGAACONROY APPRECIATION!! Yeah nah he’s amazing. Ionno if it’s just me but there’s just like something about his videos that’s so like… so comfy ykno. Just his passion and like intellect alone when it comes to lore and just like, him being himself - lil quips and everything. It all just ties together so nicely and it makes his videos evermore warming to see. Such a cool guy - amazing video man.
Emile is my favorite UA-camr. His old LPs are so nostalgic and even the new ones are quality and are great. He’s amazing
Chuggaaconroy was literally my childhood
I've been watching his videos off and on for the past decade and his videos have gotten me through some dark times.
Emile is just a person on the internet, but it's insane how much of an impact he has had on my life. Who knows where I would be without him. Thank you for everything, Emile. You are loved by so many and have touched the hearts of so many. Keep being you buddy.
Watched Chuggaaconroy my whole life, his Super Paper Mario play through especially. That was my life, as I loved super paper Mario back then (was my favorite game, classic) and seeing someone appreciating him like this just makes me glad.
I still remember watching Shadman back when I thought he was alright and he was on UA-cam and I shit you not, he had one of Emile’s videos in his recommended page, and I asked him on stream and shad replied that he doesn’t watch Emile, but his Majora’s Mask series with the masks was way better at showing what to do than other videos.
Emile’s videos will get everywhere. He puts way too much time and effort into each one than he should. But that’s what he loves
Chuggaaconroy videos will always be peak UA-cam.
Nothing brings me more childhood joy than Chuggaaconroy's Windwaker walkthrough I like to rewatch. I subscribed to him back when I was 10 and he's still there in my subscriptions.
Me and my older brother grew up watching chuggaaconroy since the late 2000’s and my favorite let’s play he did was the one he did on PMTTYD
I remember watching his fire red playthrough ages ago, he remains one of the only cases of a youtuber that I’ve stayed subbed to and occasionally re-visit despite my taste in content changing over the years
