Slowflake is a French-Canadian Let's Player and blogger who specializes in Pokémon as well as various platform games as a sort of B-Side to the A-side of Pokémon. He went on a short hiatus from his Pokémon LPs after Soul Silver ended, but after the release of Black 2 and White 2, who returned for White. This is because he was originally planning to LP an eventual Pokemon Gray\, but due to the fact this game wasn't released and direct sequels were announced instead, he changed his plans and did an LP of White anyway.
His style is fairly minimalistic, with few special effects and minimum cutting time as well, preferring to show almost everything that happens during a playthrough although there are some exceptions within his Pokemon LPs.
He started out with pokemon red in October 2008 and has since gone on to do one game per generation, opting for the third release of each generation; Yellow is the notable exception from this rule, along with Soul Silver, which is a remake instead. Also, because of the major differences between Pokemon black and white and their sequels, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Slowflake decided to play White version in addition to White 2. It could be said that his Pokémon LPs are among the best on YouTube, as he is very thorough, and his Pokémon are normally quite overleveled by the end of the LP, only struggling for the rematch against Blue in Soul silver.
Early life[]
Before starting LPs, Slowflake would offer text-based rants and various paragraphs upon the Pokémon metagame, the core of his thoughts when LPing. This has led to one of his best traits as an LPer: he always has something to say. Even when in the bowels of the Rock Tunnel in Pokémon Red, he had something to say. This helps make the more mundane parts of a game much more entertaining to watch without having to be cut out at all. His style also sees him going into full-blown rants (with occasional , when things don't go his way, these being much more prominent in his platform LPs).
Trivia[]
- His first joke had him do part 83 of Pokemon Red entirely in French.
- He also did a single-episode Hello Kitty Happy Party Pals LP, and changed his channel to Hello Kitty colors to match it.
- His third, in 2011, had him playing Pokémon Fire Red, in which he puts himself in a 'Zardtard's' shoes.
- For his fourth, he tried out Superman 64.
- For 2013, he made a fake rant video against Smogon's (fictional) decision to ban low-accuracy moves. Unfortunately, most of his audience wasn't fooled. Keep in mind that his main audience is YouTube of all
