She further added, “Then I got a little older and then I got into other console RPG games. I think I have beat most generations of Zelda and I have beat all the generations of Pokemon.”

The Baddest Woman crushed her opponents for a Mew!

But the most interesting part was when she told the audience about her love for ‘Mew’. In the same segment, she tells the story of how she played Pokemon authentically to find a Mew in the original Red and Blue games.

She told in the video, “In the mall, they would lineup and trade back and forth and all these things and fight all the kids in the line. I used to crush everybody in the line. You know, I was really competitive.”

But she then realized that playing competitively won’t help because having an authentic Mew takes some serious skills. She remembered holding herself back by saying, “That was the only way not to compete because I wanted an authentic Mew, coz Mew was not in the original one fifty-one.”

Thus, she had to make sure to level up and learn a few tricks to capture the Pokemon. Notably, she said she used a certain way to win it because she loved the Pokemon so much she couldn’t think otherwise.
