I'm here to shill dmjh93's stream to all of you in case you were unaware of it, and also offer an introduction to what goes on. First of all, let's start with the link.
https://www.twitch.tv/dmjh93It's pretty simple. dmjh93 is the character artist and lead writer on Pokemon Academy Life. Watching his stream is the best way to keep up with news on the game. His stream is just him drawing stuff for the game, with music playing. He interacts with the chat a ton and is a chill lad. Usually he listens to one of three things, rap music, Pokemon music or miscellaneous video game music. Occasionally there will be other music. If you want him to play a song, most of the time he'll play it if you post the link in chat. The fun comes from the banter between the Twitch chat and dmjh himself, with his beautiful art and the music merely serving as a backdrop.
That's about the gist of it. Obviously if you want to be completely blind on the game there will be some mild spoilers, and dmjh talks about certain things in the game and answers questions. He generally just talks about ideas and things they MIGHT do, rather than offer any outright spoilers on what's going to happen.
But there are some certain in-jokes and memes in chat, and at this point there are so many of them and some of them are so weird that it can be kind of alienating. So without further ado, here is the list of dumb memes/in-jokes in the chat.
Lord Hilbert
See for more information. Basically, thanks to this thread, Hilbert's popularity has shot waaaay up and now he's considered the figurehead of a religion. He also has a guy who RPs as him that appears in chat sometimes. It's nothing too serious, he's just a really fun and popular character.
Cucking
Another movement you might have seen if you frequent these forums at all is the debate as to whether you should date May or not. Brendan is her boyfriend, and is a pretty cool guy, but May is considered a top tier waifu within the Pokemon fandom, so people really do want to date her. But she's taken, so what is a man to do? The solution is simple, you have to cuck Brendan, stealing his girl. But just as there are those who would steal May from her boyfriend, there are those who fiercely oppose such actions. They're known as the Brendan Protection Front, and are generally anti-cucking. While the debate has calmed down as we wait for the next demo, it will surely ignite into a roaring fire once again very soon. It's just a general topic of discussion and even the word "cuck" is just an in-joke for the chat. Some people sit firmly in the middle, and believe May and Brendan can have a mutual break-up, leaving her open for Red to pursue.
Brock
While Lord Hilbert was born from a forum thread, Brock became a meme solely to the stream. dmjh93 plays Pokemon songs on stream, one of them being Two Perfect Girls, sung by Brock on the Totally Pokemon album back in the day. For some reason, this song became everybody's favourite, probably because it is legit good. Two Perfect Girls being the final song before the stream ends became a running joke, and it expanded to dmjh93 actually working on a piece of Brock artwork while the song plays. In addition, there was also a Brock roleplayer who shows up and gives advice. Due to his anime personality of being a total horndog who goes crazy over girls, obviously in a game with so many possible girls to date, Brock has a special place in people's heart, in addition to the Gen 1 nostalgia. He's a larger than life figure at this point. He has become a god to rival Lord Hilbert, though the two are allies. I Keep My Home In My Heart and Pokemon Christmas Bash are also signature songs that get the chat hyped, because Brock LAYS IT DOWN in those songs.
The Envelope
I...don't really get this one myself! dmjh93 was drawing items (cause you gotta give people presents and stuff) for the game, including a candy bar and an envelope. Some people latched onto the envelope and worshipped it as a god. Supposedly, it is the god of anti-cucking. There is a serious divide between those who worship Lord Hilbert, the envelope and Brock. Which is the true god?
Strong and funny or weak and unfunny?
This is a more recent one. One of dmjh93's friends was sending the chat screenshots of an argument he got in with one of those Tumblr feminists, who declared that all men were "weak and unfunny". So now occasionally new viewers will be asked which they are.
Boss-kun
dmjh93's IRL boss, he is also a mod on the stream. He only showed up once, but he made a deep impression on the viewers and we eagerly await the return of Boss-kun.
If you're interested, come and hang out. It's fun, I promise. We're not THAT weird.
