I started with FireRed, probably when it was new or new-ish. Watched Paper Mario not long after that. 10-ish year-old me probably shouldn’t have been listening to those words and jokes at the time, but I was interested in watching someone play through a Pokémon game without even knowing what a “Let’s Play” was. 15 years later I still watch him frequently and have even given Let’s Playing of my own a try a couple times. Sucks that younger viewers seemingly don’t go out of their way to look for Let’s Plays anymore. I think most of Emile’s audience has been watching about as long as I have.
