For the 40th episode of Chazingdra Chats, what an honour to welcome Rosemary Kelley aka Nekkra, award-winning caster & host for Pokémon & beyond. Discover her journey: how her relationship with being Asian American has evolved over the years, how her background in science paved the way for what she does now, how video games have always been there for her - and, of course, discover the 6 Pokémon most special to Rose that she would choose for her Dream Team.
Want to get to know Rosemary even better? Head to my Patreon for her Rapidash Round, quickfire bonus questions she hasn't prepared for: What are the origins of Rosemary's online name 'Nekkra'? What are some highlights thus far from her incredible casting career? What advice would she give to aspiring casters? What's her favourite piece of Pokémon merchandise out of all that she owns? Answers to all these & many more lie in store... https://www.patreon.com/Chazingdra
Keep up to date with Rosemary's latest & watch her fantastic content!

Notes:
- Mega-Evolved Pokémon - Certain Pokémon have a temporary further evolved form on top of their permanent final form which is more powerful, might provide a new typing & Ability, etc.
- Dark Void Smeargle - Smeargle is a Pokémon that can learn almost any move in the game. Dark Void is a move that can put BOTH opposing Pokémon on the field to sleep, rendering them inactive for up to 3 turns of battle. At this time Smeargle was the only competitively-legal Pokémon that could learn Dark Void; as of Generation IX it can no longer learn it (nor can any other Pokémon).
