Hi, I'm Pokey and this is the Wired Autocomplete interview, and I'm really nervous.
0:07
Well, I've been Googling and I'm about to find out what Pokey, what is Pokey?
0:17
Um, sometimes I don't even know.
0:17
I'm a content creator, streamer, gamer, vlogger.
0:19
I kind of do a little bit of everything.
0:22
I am me, she, her, yeah.
0:25
So actually, the reason this is my name is because obviously gaming, I play a lot of Pokemon and my name is Iman, so it's supposed to be a play on words.
0:36
That's why it's actually supposed to be pronounced Pokemon, but I understand in English this just reads as Pokey Main, so I'm never mad at people when they pronounce it that way.
0:46
I'm like, call me whatever you want, as long as it's nice.
0:50
What made Pokemon famous?
0:50
Streaming, for sure, 100% streaming.
0:56
I've been streaming since I was 17.
0:59
It's been like nine years.
1:02
I started doing it as a hobby in high school and then it became my full-time job, and then I started making content on all platforms and that's how people know me, I guess.
1:13
What is Pokemon's Valorant rank?
1:16
My peak was Immortal, but that was about a year and a half ago.
1:24
Right now, I'm like Diamond, actually, it's a new season so I'm not even ranked yet, but last season I was Diamond.
1:28
What is Pokemon's nationality?
1:31
I was born in Morocco.
1:34
I lived there until I was four years old, little baby, and then we immigrated to Canada.
1:44
I lived there until I was about 20, 21, and then I moved to LA and you know what, maybe I'll move again soon, doing the world tour.
1:46
Okay, that was so weak, I'll do the next one harder.
1:55
Does Pokemane like Pokemon?
1:58
No, actually, I named myself after that because I hate it.
2:01
No, of course.
2:02
I think I've never met someone in the world who doesn't like Pokemon.
2:06
I feel like that would be a really big red flag.
2:09
I don't play it as often now as I did growing up, but it's one of those things where like, you know, it's near and dear to my heart because it's so nostalgic.
2:16
My favorite Pokemon is Evie, because it's like picking seven, eight answers in one.
2:21
Is that cheating?
2:23
I hope not.
2:23
Does Pokemon still stream?
2:26
I do, just not as often as I did before.
2:29
You know, when I first started my career, it was like six days a week, then it was like five, then it was four consistent schedule, and now it's like three, two times, I'll see you when I see you.
2:40
And I like you like that, because now I'm able to do so many other things luckily, but I still try to make content regularly, pursue some new things, I have some exciting projects, can't tell you yet, I'm sorry, soon.
2:55
Does Pokey Play League?
2:55
Not unless I'm feeling severely depressed and I haven't played in a while, so that's a good sign.
3:02
If you get it, you get it.
3:02
And for everyone else in this room, don't worry, it's just one of those games, it's very intense, but I had my face, I will always love it as the game that got me into streaming.
3:15
Don't forget your roots, but I just don't play that much nowadays.
3:18
Does Pokemon have tattoos?
3:20
This is actually a really good question because I think most people would maybe assume that I do, but I don't have a single one.
3:25
I love the idea of tattoos, I love people that have tattoos, but if I had one myself, I know I would love it for a few months and then I'd be like, get it off.
3:37
So instead, I really like to opt for henna tattoos.
3:41
Does Pokemon have a Fortnite skin?
3:54
I actually don't have a Fortnite skin, but I have a Fortnite dance.
3:54
It's like the Fortnite team reaches out and they're like, hey, we want to partner on a dance or remote with you.
3:54
And I just sat and I brainstormed in my little room.
3:57
To me, it was kind of reminiscent of like the TikTok dances that were going on at the time.
4:06
I'm also not about to do a freaking backflip.
4:06
I can't do a backflip.
4:06
So that will forever be one of the high points of my career, like having something in a game that represents you, especially a game that large, that popular, and one that was so impactful to my career, it's just like truly, truly a bucket list item.
4:06
I like that one.
4:06
Oh my God, okay.
4:06
First things first, how you pronounce my name Iman Anis, it's not anus, okay?
4:06
I have had too many people in my life be like, is that, no, my last name is not butthole, please stop it.
4:47
Where did Iman Anis go to college?
4:52
I went to McMaster University, I studied Chemical Engineering.
4:55
I really, really like and recommend that school.
4:57
I mean, to be fair, I've been out of school for like four years, so nostalgic feels.
5:00
I think most universities in Canada are pretty good.
5:04
So, can Iman Ennis speak Arabic?
5:07
Canada, so technically I speak the Moroccan dialect of Arabic, which isn't like full-on classic Arabic.
5:21
I can say most sentences, but maybe I won't remember most words.
5:21
I tend to tell people I speak two and a half languages, you know, French, English, a sort of Arabic, a sort of little bit.
5:21
Anyone who's, you know, ESL or an immigrant probably gets what I'm saying, not 100% but like a little bit.
5:21
Can Iman Anis do magic?
5:21
What do you mean?
5:21
Actually, can I?
5:21
The only kind of magic I do is manifestation.
5:21
Sometimes I'll think so hard about something, I feel like I plan out exactly how to get it, that's what I consider manifestation, not necessarily wishing something into existence, but thinking about it so hard that you recognize the opportunity when it comes.
5:21
Aside from that, I wish.
5:21
I really do wish.
5:21
Height.
6:05
Six foot two, six foot three on a good day, says my Tinder bio.
6:11
No, I'm honestly, honest, honest, honest.
6:14
I'm five foot three and three quarters, but I just say five foot four because three quarters, who cares?
6:18
I think it's a very nice average height.
6:23
I'm very content with my life.
6:30
How is this boy?
6:33
Whoever's Googling that, okay, honestly, I'm pretty good today.
6:37
Not a lot of people ask, so thank you, I'm doing so.
6:42
How to join Pokey?
6:42
I already know what this is.
6:45
Discord, Discord server, Discord server, Discord server.
6:47
If you want to join to join our community, it's discord.ggp.
6:51
If you're doing it for malicious purposes, I don't know how do you join.
6:55
How old Pokemon?
6:55
Where's the, that's how I know it's little kids looking this up.
7:01
I am 27.
7:01
My birthday was a month and a half ago.
7:04
I feel like I'm at a good age.
7:07
It's like I've been through my early 20s, now I'm a little more secure and hopeful for the future.
7:13
What's next?
7:15
A family?
7:15
Who knows?
7:17
Probably not soon.
7:17
How much Pokemon worth?
7:22
See, net worths are kind of complicated.
7:25
It's supposed to be how much is in your bank account, how much is your, are your assets worth, and I feel like net worths tend to be overestimated because they don't consider LA taxes.
7:33
So I'm going to stick with priceless.
7:42
In Free Guy, I'm actually the main character, the guy.
7:46
No, actually sometimes I wonder, so many people have been like, oh, I saw you in Free Guy, I'm like, you guys don't think I'm like the, the girl actress because in Free Guy, I'm just me, I'm literally playing me, I don't know how to act, I play video games.
8:03
I thought it was so cool that in the movie, instead of just hiring people to act as the streamers, they got actual streamers to give our actual reactions.
8:10
I feel like that was a sign that they actually wanted to make a movie that people who are gamers like and think is legit, and it gave an authentic feel, you know.
8:23
Who is Pokey's brother?
8:29
Actually, he was the reason that I got into gaming because, you know, when you're the younger sibling, you see everything your older sibling does and you're like, mom, dad, let me do that.
8:34
I honestly just played all the games that he played, and when I wanted to become a streamer and wanted to go full-time, I was able to get him to help convince my parents that what I was doing was legit.
8:45
You know, gaming is still one of the ways that we stay in touch, we play Valorant together, he's played on my stream with me so many other times, maybe someday he'll stream too, normal, keep an eye out for that.
8:45
Who is Pokey in my math solution?
8:45
Oh my God, this is really embarrassing to talk about publicly.
8:45
Okay, there's a meme.
8:45
I can't even tell you the whole meme, for sure, my queen in my world, it's a very, very cute meme, it's wholesome.
8:45
Is Pokey kid-friendly?
8:45
Sometimes.
8:45
If I were to give myself a grade on that, I give myself like a 70.
8:45
So 30% of the time, no.
8:45
But why does Pokey have WGM?
8:45
Okay, for those that don't know, this is a chess term, it means Woman Grand Master.
8:45
It's a very, very high rank term and I was in a chess tournament, so they gave me that title, even though I'm like so far from being like at that rank, but they gave it to me as a joke and I think people saw that and they're like, why does she have that title?
8:45
It's a joke.
8:45
Thank you to them though, makes people think I'm better than I am.
10:17
Pokey main gaming chair.
10:17
Right now, I have a Herman Miller.
10:22
Do I think it's comfortable?
10:24
Kind of.
10:29
I'm kind of uncomfortable because my posture is so good, so I force myself to sit in it.
10:29
This isn't the best, but it's good for me, and before that I had like a random one of those gaming chairs, like the ones that kind of look like racing chairs.
10:38
I actually kind of like those.
10:39
I really do, they're like they keep you so steady.
10:42
Where is Pokey right now?
10:46
I am in Los Angeles, on set with Wired.
10:54
The search that I both liked and it caught me off guard was, how is Pokemon like, does someone out there really want to know?
11:01
That's really nice, that's really nice.
11:03
Thank you so much.
11:03
I'll see you guys in the next one.
11:06
Bye.
