This channel is so refreshing to watch. I feel like it’s a channel to get things off of your chest personally which probably helps overall as well as informing your general audience about how it is to be a KZreadr.

I honestly forgot about the existence of Team PokeMart, I remember enjoying it a lot but directing your creativity on other things was definitely the right idea.

I think part of the issue with Team Pokemart too was the slightly excessive cross promotion. I distinctly remember the comments of every community post on GLR about it being mostly negative and complaining about not subscribing to that channel yet still getting it in their sub feed either way. I was surprised cause it was the first time I really saw anyone in your audience really actively being against you, and I felt bad cause I was one of the people who voted yes in the poll where you asked if people would be interested in a Pokemon channel. That being said, I remember my favorite video on that channel, and one I thought was significantly better than the others, was the one about Ash Ketchem's Pokemon League experience or something like that. Talking about the goofy behaviors and inconsistencies of the anime just felt more at home like GLR, as opposed to the "new stock" videos. So I was disappointed that there weren't more videos like that. But after watching this video, it makes a ton of sense why that content was so time consuming, and I'm definitely glad you've put your resources back into GLR.

must admit your comedy, especially on this channel, really gets to me. I remember early on when i first discovered grandlinereview i thought the channel was like some really boring corporate channel without a personality, but i must admit i was really wrong and your personality really makes the videos on all three active channels really fun

True, I first discovered GLR 2 years ago and went "that's a boring type of video" because I was offered an old video of him that didn't appeal to me at the time, but now I'm subscribed to all 3 channels and his jokes and pun in all 3 are absolutely the best part about these channels.

He had definitely changed and gotten more comfortable with his comedic approach, I would say at around act 2 of Wano arc

Team Pokemart enjoyer here! Apparently, that EXTREMELY niche community you were talking about also included me, because dry, sarcastic humor is EXACTLY what my sense of humor is, and I really couldn’t get enough of that sad, depressed and overworked retail employee I related to so closely. If it ever did come back, either by you or someone else using your voice on their channel, I would 100% jump on that wagon without question

I loved it too bad it’s gone

another banger of a topic, its only keeps escalating. We have had the interview and now close encounters to career death. I only imagine how you're gonna top this one. Keep it up lone room man

Man, I did love team pokemart, but I can also admit that when the vids stopped coming out I didn’t even notice. It’s weird, but you’re right: it didn’t really have too much of a direction besides hitting the nostalgia notes. Still though, those were some great videos

Yeah same. Liked the videos well enough, but didn't notice when they stopped coming.

You're doing something with this KZread channel, I don't know what yet but keep it up man

I personally loved Team Pokemart. I enjoy learning about lore. The dry humor was the cherry on top. Thank you!

loved this explanation. I had been wondering for so long what happened to that channel. But good on you for being able to let it go! It was def a fun ride while it lasted and I look forward to all your other works!

Ah I did enjoy this channel a lot and it appealed so much to my gen 1 focused Pokémon nostalgia. Everything you say makes sense though, and some of these problems I sort of guessed. I'm glad you were able to get GLR bigger and better after making that decision and that you have learned so much to make this channel prosper where team pokemart didn't. I am really enjoying the content over here :) I am also thankful for the teeny amount of script writing experience team pokemart gave me. It was fun to try something completely new, even if it wasn't something that came totally naturally to me.

Oh, this is exactly the video I wanted to see after watching the tekking one! I'm not particularly interested in getting into doing KZread or anything, but it's awesome to hear about the thought process and marketing strategies that go into making KZread channels and content. I don't know why, but I find it very entertaining! I also enjoy the added perspective on the history of GLR and NWR! Going back and watching some of your video series in a binge recently was fun, and I did notice differences as they got more recent, in spite of the overall consistency. It's just fun to hear a bit of background behind that, I guess? Anyway, loved this one!

I don't always watch your GLR videos, but I've been regularly watching your videos on this channel. Keep up the great work!

Thrilled to hear it! :D

Probably the beat video I've seen you produce Liam. I've been a fan for a goodly while, but this video was a combination of honesty, humor, and information that just oozed value to me. Good stuff!

It breaks mu heart to hear that, I love and am still subscribed to your Pokémon channel. I loved the videos and got a lot of laughs from them. Even if you did a video a month, Id still get a lot of joy from it.

Liam your advice is really helpful❗ Please make more videos on this channel 👑

This is starting to come off as podcast clips and I’m still loving it

I watched grand line review for a long time and when you announced new world review i started watching it mainly becouse it was you who was doing it and it resulted in me picking up a few of the manga you talked about and ended up liking them Same with team pokemart i wanted to get into pokemon for a long time but honestly couldn't be bothered but bcs it was you who was covering it I decided to give it a watch and I got into pokemon becouse of it so I guess you attracted fans from your channel who wanted to get an idea of what pokemon was So thanks for that mate, wouldn't really call it a worthless campaign

I am glad you made this channel, I really wanted to hear you but throwing randomly not specific. Lovely contents keep it up

Nice video Liam, your videos have been a pretty nice safe space for the past couple of days. You’re like that one chill family member that you can just relax around and talk about anime and stuff with haha.

I actually went back and enjoyed some videos on Team Pokemart I hadn't watched just last month. Always looking forward to your evolutions, Liam

It takes a lot to admit that something was a mistake. Grandlinereview and this channel are fantastic so sounds like you made the right choice. Speaking from the perspective of a new subscriber of course

I love the approach you took in this channel to educate your core audience about KZread Insider stuff, it feels conforting to me watching a familiar creator speaking openly about their endeavours; both successful and not so successful, not like an skillshare course with a teacher who might not be part of the community. And these tips serve as great insight to other platforms/fan-media as well, like instagram or whatnot, as it's mostly marketing and targeting content to an audience. Great stuff! I'm glad to have entered the Room With The Dude

I really miss Team PokeMart and was wondering what happened to it. I found you for your One Piece content, it being my favorite anime and all, but I really got attached to you, Liam, as a content creator over Team Pokemart, funny enough. I'll miss it dearly, but this explication makes absolute sense. I had a feeling that burnout played a major deal with it disappearing, but I didn't even consider those other aspects as far as KZread and the algorithm. Good on ya for keeping your career alive. I'll very happily take One Piece and New World stuff, even though Team PokeMart was my favorite of your channels, though. Keep up the excellent work, thank you for your content, Liam!

Always loving your content mah dude😁

I loved Team Pokemart as well. I was wondering what happened with it. All your channels are amazing in my opinion. 😁✌️

Great insight. I wondered what happened bc I felt it should have taken off. It goes to show how much goes into it. Bright side is that if Team Pokemart is what got comedy into GLR then it lives on. Bc I feel the videos on GLR have been the best they every been.

I have startade to look forward to this dude in a room just as much as a grand line review video.

Dude in a room is such an amazing channel, I never know what to expect and I’m never disappointed

I enjoyed Team Pokemart but mostly because I enjoyed your humor as cranky sassy retail worker! I appreciated the way you produced videos, sorry the channel didn’t take off

Thanks for making Team Pokemart, I did enjoy and will miss Ditto. Although, GLR is has improved significantly since you stopped. I even recall the experimentations on GLR, my favorite of with being the one with you playing with lights. Good Times. Thanks Liam.

When you said "one piece 101" a wave of nostalgia came flooding back when i was watching those videos as they were coming out. I also started reminiscing the devil fruit encyclopaedia and film friday. Film friday was how i first found ur main channel when it was still coming out weekly

I really like this new channel, It's relly useful to understand these things that honestly no one tells you about KZread.

I actually used to love the team pokemart channel and had been wondering what happened to it. Glad you finally gave me some closure 👏🏾

One thing I haven’t seen any Pokémon KZreadrs focus one exclusively is the culture of Pokémon, like all the none game or card products, the events, the real life far reaching cultural aspects it’s been influenced by and in turn influenced itself. I’d love to see a channel like that, there’s also so many cool Pokémon products, I’d like to see someone categorize and break down and show what their is where you can get it what’s going to come out soon or is planned, stuff like that

When I first watched any of your content it was surprisingly your new world review channel about a year ago I believe, and for like months I didnt even know about your other channel that was even bigger and I love OP. Then I found this channel like idk 2 months ago? Idk I find that hilarious and now I'm a fan of the content guy.

Wats next? I'm interested in a studio tour, Licht, camera and mic. It would also be interesting to see your workflow for your videos. Keep it up man. I loved the video with the lady with the beautiful smile. This second channel is very fun.

This is a very good retrospective on a failed project and interesting insight into your point of view as a content creator that I’d never have. Target audience is something that I never really considered and it is great to get these tips!

I loved team pokemart I miss it

You may have been sweating through it then but you're an OG at this ish now Liam💪🏿

Ngl, I never really jumped on the train for your HxH content on NewWorldReview because I'm not super into HxH, but GLR and Team Pokemart were part of my weekly routine when they were coming out concurrently.

Love grandline review but this channel is where I think you shine. Keep it up!

Love what you're doing with this channel.

Yup, i called it, this channel is easily my favorite of your perspectives; and, I literally am only staying alive these days, just to see him become King. The insight, and the topics, you address here are really engaging, because its based in the subjectivity of reality and experience. Not for everyone, but def for me. (:

Maaannnn I loved that channel :( I watched every video as soon as they came out and was really sad when you stopped doing them regularly and then at all

I watched those videos and my main problem was just that I knew everything you said. The reason I watch you is because either you say things I don’t know or you say things I could research but you save me time. I‘m really deep into Pokémon, also the competitive scene and stuff. The videos weren’t bad, I liked them but I didn’t miss them because I didn’t get anything long term by watching them

I liked this video because since I am fairly new in the world of Content Creation, there is still a lot that I am learning. I know that my target audience is the gaming side of things, but more so on a discussional and analysitcal level with memes and stuff thrown into it. Like AntDude or Scott The Wox basically. Still, it is hard to find your footing here, but once you start and learn from your mistakes, then they do get better!

Damn this is so informative, a gold mine and i mean it. A lot more than other channels that talk about how to grow channels that end up being the same generic clickbait recycled garbage. The fact that you have actually DONE the thing and talk from experience just makes you so much more credible too. This channel will be big over the years buddy boyo keep going Liam, we re here behind you.

Please bring back one piece 101s, I binged all of them in one and it was amazing. They helped me so much after binging the series and forgetting half of the info I was giving. Thank you for being an amazing creator, every channel you have made that I have seen has been good. Thank you

Man seeing you grow from 10k subs on grandline review to having 3 channels now, with this particular one having the potential to be massively successful, I feel very proud. Keep up the good work Liam!

Pumping that content out Liam. Good on you and thankyou

A piece of priceless information for people who might want to start YT and don't know how to approach a general topic/idea. I like the insights on this particular topic. It's like a 2 door building where Liam is an NPC guide telling you that if you might go through door number 1 you might lose your toaster

I just love to listen to you talking, started with about one piece and with this channel, about anything, now I’m curious about team pokemart, had no idea! loved the ideia about a pokemon comedy show, pokememes have a pontential for that, but no pressure please 😄

I remember when you launched it! I've wondered a few times what happened to that. I guess it won't be blasting off again :(

Team Pokemart was my most favourite chanel to watch back then. It was very funny and well written. But after watching this video I am glad you decided to end that, as I wish the best. You are great content creator and I can just imagine how hard it was to stop developing one channel (shame it had to be that one but I understand why). It is a shame that making video once a week or even once a month wouldn't be profitable and wouldn't have sense for you as youtuber. Btw the idea of pokemart owner was awesome :D Best regards!

I thought about team pokemart like a month ago and just went "oh yeah...guess he's done with this one". Good videos but I'm glad you learned stuff from it to make this channel

Much love Liam, best one piece content, best commentary overall.

Hey Liam! Was really interesting to get this behind the scenes look. I had wondered what happened to team pokemart. Was fun while it lasted!

I always wondered what happened to Team PokeMart. I enjoyed the videos, and thought they were hilarious, and always wondered what shenanigans Ditto was going to get into next. I understand the reasons it is no longer around, and I appreciate you explaining them, because I have been curious. But I love Grandline Review, and this channel, and will continue to support you there 😁

I think the reason why I keep coming back to this channel is because I’m a creatively driven person, and what you show off in these videos more often than not is your passion for KZread video making while also detailing the effort that needs to put into making them. Risks, rewards, failures, algorithms, how to understand growth, etc. It’s strewn all across this channel (or room if you will), and it helps someone like me who occasionally looks at KZread and wonders “what if?”

super interested in your writing and editing process

I enjoyed Team PokeMart but understand the struggle and pressure that came with it. Glad to see you in a better state of being

This was very insightful great video.

Big fan and I remember stumbling through hundreds of OP 101 videos, but the content you’re producing now is fantastic. Keep it up. I do remember the Team Pokemart era and I tried to like it, but it wasn’t for me. Keep it up Liam

I don't know what this channel is but i like the thing you're doing and have subscribed.

Welcome aboard! :D

I wondered what happened with TP. Nice to get a peek behind the curtain and into the meticulous mind of a content creator. I did enjoy the content there even though I'm not the biggest pokemon fan. The idea was great and they were fun videos, I'm just far more of a OP fan than any of the others. But it is good to branch out and try new things.

I was a huge fan of the pokemart channel I liked it a lot.. I've wondered why there weren't any new vids for a while I like the in universe explanation like role play or some it was fun

it is astounding how much of a tryhard (not meaning it negative lol) you are in researching and thinking about your stuff sorry, no native englando, but germando. imo your OP videos seem to be created in a breeze for you and you just know what your are doing content wise and are just gifted. the fact that your videos appear very laid back and chill in the process, eventho there is alot of work put into crafting them is what makes them appealing and professional. ez to digest but passion behind the process is the key

I'm just over here bummed I don't get Liam in my Pokemon content as well. Really digging this dude in a room stuff.

wait was your channel not successful (grandline review) when i first started enjoying it =O im glad you're enjoying what you do now Liam! ill never forget being at my X-mas party this year and a friend said "omg look at this guy with the funky zoro X-Mas tree!" and i squaked LIAM!!!!!

I really liked the Squirtle line explained video :)

I really enjoyed Team PokeMart, and was wondering why you suddenly stopped. So thank you for the explanation. Makes all the sense in the world and it's all for the best.

I actually loved that channel and watched every single video. Glad I finally got an explanation as to why it stopped uploading.

In retrospect, it was around the time that Team Pokèmart began that I noticed your GLR content started to change. I miss those days and that content as well as the TP channel. I hope he was able to finally get the floor cleaned.

Your videos on this channel has been like a mystery box where I never know what I'm gonna get but I knw I'll like it! Also, could you expand more about what you said about making thumbnails? :)

I actually remember back in 2020 waking up every morning and looking at my phone still half asleep and seeing a new Team Pokemart or Grand Line Review video uploaded straight into my KZread feed and having the video play in the background while I was getting ready for the day before going to my online classes because of the current world situation. That would be how I started a lot of my days in the first half of the school year. But I definitely understand why you stopped uploading on Team Pokemart. It definitely seemed like a lot of work

I actually really loved your Team Pokemart channel because it was funny and witty and just about a person in the pokemon universe. I really am not into the anime or card game, but I've basically played all the games. I would be into the anime, but it absolutely feels like it was aimed at children. The Pokemon Adventures manga is definitely not so much, but that's not really the anime. Anyway, I did love the channel and was sad it stopped receiving new videos for me to watch.

Hey Liam! Love your content! Especially Grandline Review!! About the new spoilers, it would be amazing if Luffy’s awakening was unlocking, “the voice of all things,” in regards to the colossal being coming towards the land of Wano; just as Luffy began to enjoy himself again, going head to head with Kaido! Both are laughing and it seems in the spoilers they are also sharing an experience in the fight with each other, getting to know each other better through punches; and it would be epic, if Kaido began to see an image of Joy Boy as Luffy keeps getting up and fighting; this time while laughing and having a good time like Joy Boy! Maybe when the Marines invade, Kaido will join hands with Luffy to fight the Marines and CP0! Since they are all weak, Luffy will begin to hear a voice calling out to him. Then, in desperation to save his friends, the samurai, and Wano, Luffy will awaken and command the colossal being to attack the Marines! Then all Straw Hats will fight CP0 1v1 to defend Nico Robin and drive out the Marines! Kaido will sacrifice himself protecting Wanokuni: the legacy Oden, his greatest rival and biggest mark of shame, but now as a defender and will redeem himself; having been reminded of Joy Boy by his fight with Luffy! Kaido will share his backstory before dying; and Wano will be saved and claimed by the new Yonko: Straw Hat Luffy of the Staw Hat Pirates!!! What do you think?!?... Pretty trippy, yeah?!

I had no idea that stuff was going on. I liked team pokemart and am grateful for all the fun content Liam gives us.

I love how his videos always end with his words being cut

I loved PokeMart and it’s sudsy sprite humor! But all these points lifted the veil explaining effective mechanics of positioning and production. I always appreciate your critical thinking skills and your willingness to maintain healthy non-attachment to assess your endeavors accurately. L’s are Lessons, never losses with your attitude and that makes me happy. No, you, You make me happy! Keep being authentic Liam dude.

I've thought about why Pokemart didn't click we me a lot actually. GRL had me go from netflix anime dub guy to caught up on the one piece manga (thank you for that, btw) and I've played some competitive Pokemon so I was expecting a match made in heaven. For me, you hit the nail on the head with the titles: I was expecting and informative deep appreciation like with you in One Piece and HxH but the sketch comedy style made it feel like you didn't actually know all that much about Pokemon. I think that's also why this channel is so great -- it's got your sarcastic and self-aware style with topics you understand wayyyy more than the average fan or even super-fan. Also while I pulled away from Pokemart after like 5 videos it didn't stop me from clicking on like all your other videos within a day of their release so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

last few videos feel like marketing lessons, and i like it

But also remember that you are funny, and you make your videos very well. although of course having “your source for everything one piece” is very good, this dude in a room channel is purely you in a room. we still enjoy it so you’re half of the equation. keep it up

The other day I was wondering about that channel. Nice to get an answer although I didn't get to make the question, which is a scary thought because it implies you read people minds.

This is the video I need. I actually watched all of the pokemart's videos.

i’m not gonna lie i really liked the idea but i never got into pokémon so i literally know nothing, but i’ll definitely check it out cause i like what you do and it seems interesting

I remember when you made that channel. Always wondered what happened to it... sounds like you made the right decision, at least I'm glad you're still around and seeing success

Very informative 👏, thanks.

I actually really Iiked team pokemart. But this is a very fun story and I'm glad you learned a lesson haha

I honestly kept some hope alive that you would restart Team PokeMart. I have had many laughs because of it. I still have random laughs thinking about the Wigglytuff sprite. As a matter of fact... I'm going to rewatch all of en 🙋🏽‍♂️ Also I follow all your channels and I just have to say: Bloody awesome job my man 👌🏼

Good and Informational content!

The KZread channel I never knew I needed

Fantastic learns from this one!

I remember when you first asked everyone if you should make the channel in an update, and I remember myself thinking and commenting (as a big Pokemon fan) that it wasn't really a good idea because not only is it an oversaturated market, but also an incredibly stagnant one as well. I found that loads of Poketubers have resorted to making the most ridiculous types of top 10 lists like "Top 10 Pokemon that ruined my childhood", or something like that because there are 1000's of "Top 10 strongest Pokemon" lists already. Like yes, Pokemon is big and has a lot of stuff to work with, but because there are so many fans of the series, there is so much already covered, and you really have to get something fresh to bring to the table in order to break through view-wise. A very broad information channel with some comedic quips would definitely be the wrong approach.

i like how this chanel is kind of a behind the scenes and teaches us some marketing skills

I really enjoyed your Pokemon channel! Bummed it didn't work out

Bring back on GrandLine Review the info type videos like One Piece 101, Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, Straw hat relations type thing, etc. I love the informative mixed with the comedy

Liam out here giving me a free course for when i start my own channel, thanks i guess.

I was watching Team Pokemart when it started, saw a few videos then was never recommended a video after that. I assumed you stopped making videos for that channel. Looking at it now there are several so I think the algorithm just never told me. I rely heavily on the the YT front page to recommend videos to me from the channels I am subscribed to because I don't have time to check the like hundred+ channels I'm sub'ed to for new videos. Had they shown up on my page I definitely would have watched them just as a fan of your content. (I am also 30 and a fan of the same series as you, so I am the demographic you described lol)
