History Trivia / CHUGGAACONROY

* FandomVIP:
** Some time after revealing (via Twitter) that he is a fan of the game commentary group WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries, Chugga has since met up with the quartet of un-professional commentators to do matches of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' and co-commentating ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. Some have even guest starred on his own projects, with [[WebVideo/SomecallmeJohnny Johnny]] joining him for [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon the ScareScraper]], and Ted being part of the (scrapped) ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]'' tournament on [[LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys TRG]].
** He and WebAnimation/JaidenAnimations are an unusually bilateral example of this trope: the two are not only subscribed to each other on [=YouTube=], but also follow and occasionally interact with each other on Twitter. Chugga even lent her his DS capture card for her video on ''VideoGame/FossilFighters'', with Jaiden giving him a ShoutOut at the end of the video for his generosity.
** Another bilateral example is WebVideo/{{PIEGUYRULZ}}. Not only are they both subscribed to each other, but Chugga has [[https://youtu.be/YZHn8ntr8-A guest]] [[https://youtu.be/ja-73UzrbiU starred]] [[https://youtu.be/1fN6m62Fy6Q on]] [[https://youtu.be/c5KZFUa6jc8 a few]] [[https://youtu.be/hBoNd-sSbcM of]] [[https://youtu.be/4NBMEeaAfdE [=PieGuy's=]]] [[https://youtu.be/BEtQy29H4cQ videos]].
** He's considered to a VIP for the fandoms of several games he plays, including ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles''.

** In January 2024, LetsPlay/MasaeAnela [[https://twitter.com/MasaeAnela/status/1749980618572677542?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet stated on Twitter she was displeased with Chugga keeping her guest appearances in]] the ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' LP. By the time the series was being uploaded, Masae was no longer friends with Emile and wished to sever any affiliation with him. Instead, the videos were uploaded without Masae's consent, perpetuating the idea the two were still friends for another two years.

** Emile himself went on hiatus in January 2024 when WebVideo/LadyEmily accused him of unwanted erotic roleplay, with LetsPlay/MasaeAnela and [=AntDude=] following with accusations of him violating their boundaries. Evidence of Emile sending sexual messages to a 15-year-old fan when he was 19 in tandem with the allegations above led to LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys going on an indefinite hiatus. Masae archived her videos containing him following the fallout, and both LetsPlay/ProtonJon and LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun have professionally distanced themselves from Emile. It was later announced that The Runaway Guys would be rebranded and continued without Emile.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In his video on [[https://youtu.be/P0WmKvVVbGs?t=3983 Creating a Let's Play]], Emile notes that he used to have an anonymous artist who created artwork for his Let's Plays very quickly, particularly for ''Pokemon Fire Red'' and ''Pokemon Crystal''. Then he found out during his ''Crystal'' Let's Play that the art they were making was actually stolen from other artists and he ended communications with them.
** Suffered one himself in 2024 when multiple [=YouTubers=], including [=MasaeAnela=], accused him of sexual harassment, putting him on another SeriesHiatus.

** And now he is on another one following ''Pokémon Black 2 & White 2'' following multiple allegations of sexual harassment, including from Masae herself.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** In Episode 79 of ''Pokémon Platinum'', he claims Regigigas was foreshadowed in ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' due to the Sealed Chamber saying, "We feared '''it'''", and not "them" for the Regi trio. However, this pronoun was only added in the English translation - no pronouns (singular or plural) were used in the original Japanese, making it seem less likely the message was referencing anything but the Regi trio.
** In an episode of his ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' Let's Play, [[https://youtu.be/lM48ZVOyhHo?t=8m he claimed that Tox Boxes were officially called "Toy Boxes"]]. He acknowledged this error when they re-appear in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
** A small example that crosses two episodes happens in his playthrough of ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''. In Chapter 18 [[spoiler:he claims that the weapon used by Pit's [[EmptyShell hollow body]] after the Chaos Kin forced Palutena to seal his soul in a Ring is the Meteor Bow. It's actually the [[DarkIsEvil Darkness]] Bow. He repeats this claim when he forges an actual Meteor Bow to use for the next Chapter.]] In Chapter 21, he admits he got the two confused.
** A very minor example, but in ''Splatoon'', he fails to pick up that Spyke is British, instead giving him an Australian accent.
** In his playthrough of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', he calls Wallmasters Floormasters and vice versa. This is probably due to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' having only Floormasters and that they act similarly to Wallmasters in that game.
** In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'', he claims that if the player loses to [[PostFinalBoss Shrowser]], they have to go all the way back to fighting Princess Shroob. However, one can clearly see a save album in the room before the fight with Shrowser begins, meaning that as long as a player saves before the boss fight, the only consequence to losing will be rewatching the cutscene that leads to the fight against Shrowser. Granted, Emile did own up to this and acknowledged his mistake the following video.
** In his ''Splatoon 2'' LP, he claims Pearl and Marina are Agent 6 and Agent 7, repeating a common fan misconception that Pearl and Marina become official members of the Squidbeak Splatoon. The developers have {{jossed}} this once or twice in interviews, stating that they're just bystanders who stumbled onto your situation and decided to help by acting as your MissionControl in ''Octo Expansion''. For what it's worth, Emile picked up on this and retracted his mistake a few episodes later.
** In his LP of ''VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness'', Emile mistakenly displays Teddiursa's stats during Eevee's bio and Zangoose's stats during Dodrio's bio.
** In the 5th bonus episode of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness Pokemon XD]]'', he claimed that the game originally had Wes from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Colosseum]]'' as the main antagonist but was changed because the developers felt the twist was too dark and would devalue the plot of ''Colosseum''. Thing is, there is ''no'' evidence that supports this claim, either through the game's code or from WordOfGod. Years later, [[https://twitter.com/chuggaaconroy/status/1613573193079443457 Emile admitted]] that this was something he failed to fact check and that the source was from a parody account of ''Did You Know Gaming'' that naive fans sent him.
** Episode 49 of the ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' LP sees Chugga claim that the move Snatch will steal a target's item if they make contact with the Pokémon that used the move. What Snatch actually does is steal the target's ''status move'' if they attempt any (for instance, if you use Snatch and then your opponent uses Dragon Dance, your Pokémon will be the one to use Dragon Dance instead). What Chugga describes does actually exist, but not as a move, but rather the ability Pickpocket.
** Several times in ''Black & White 2'' Chugga claims that the Dive Ball functions no differently from a standard Pokéball in games set outside of Hoenn. In actuality, later games would give the Dive Ball the perk of increasing catch rates when used while fishing or surfing. He would amend this statement shortly before battling the Elite Four.

** Speaking of ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', the final bonus videos showing the multiplayer have been long delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

** During the last ''Sticker Star'' bonus stream, Emile revealed that he started the planning stages of a Let's Play on ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' in early 2020. However, despite hearing that the 3DS remake was of poorer quality than the original, Emile decided to do a playthrough of it so he could takes notes of the changes and add it to the Let's Play. Unfortunately, Emile ''hated'' the remake due to how horribly balanced it was (to the point he could beat most bosses on ''the first turn'' despite not grinding) amongst other changes he disliked. The experience was so awful that it turned him off from even looking at the game and halted plans on doing a Let's Play on it anytime soon.

** [[https://www.wired.com/2013/07/chuggaaconroy/ In a Wired interview from 2013,]] Emile noted that he would likely end his Let's Play career sometime before he turned 30, partially due to wanting to pursue a career as a professional video editor at the time, and also out of worry that his popularity would fade with age.

** In January 2024, LetsPlay/MasaeAnela removed all videos of her playing ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' with Chuggaconroy following the allegations Emile got himself embroiled in. This has caused their playthrough of ''MarioParty2'' to be missing the matches on Western Land and Mystery Land, as those videos were uploaded to Masae’s channel.

* His first videos of ''Pokémon Platinum'', which consisted of the important fights (Rival battles, fighting Team Galactic, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains) and capturing the legendary Pokémon. He eventually started a proper, higher quality playthrough of Platinum in 2015. However, on June 15, 2016, he brought back his old ''Platinum'' vids due to fan demand, and the playlist can be seen on his channel.

Instead, the videos were uploaded without Masae’s consent, perpetuating the idea the two were still friends for almost two years.

While Chugga has acknowledged the mistake in the comments he has yet to do so in video.

** [[https://www.wired.com/2013/07/chuggaaconroy/ In a Wired interview from 2013,]] Emile noted that he would likely end his Let's Play career sometime before he turned 30, partially due to wanting to pursue a career as a professional video editor at the time, and also out of worry that his popularity would fade with age. As of 2023, his channel is still going strong, and more popular than ever.

** During one of [=MasaeAnela's=] streams, Chugga revealed he had plans to use [[Website/MiiVerse MiiVerse]] drawings at the end of each episode of his ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 EarthBound]]'' LP depicting an event that occurred in the episode. It never came to fruition, as [=MiiVerse=] had shut down before the LP began.

** Blaise's Trapinch was planned to be named [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove Pacha]] due to Flygon's colors matching him, but since the Trapinch was a Female, he opted for another name since he didn't want to invoke GenderBlenderName (in spite of the name revealed to actually be gender-neutral) or name her Chicha, Pacha's (not-so-prominent) wife. The ShoutOut wouldn't have the same effect.

* IKnewIt:
** Hours before his announcement of his Let's Play of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', [=GreatMomemtsInLPing=], a channel dedicated to moments from various Let's Players, released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKY0YyJBlYc a video of a moment]] from Chugga's ''Majora's Mask'' playthrough in which he was playing ''Skyward Sword'' before going into the episode proper. The description ponders whether it would be a future project.
** Many People had speculated that his 37th LP would be another ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 EarthBound]]'' LP due to his constant hints at wanting to redo it for years.
** Nearly everyone guessed LP 44 would be ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam'', due to it being a "spinoff series new to the channel" and being delayed in January 2020 due to unexpected circumstances, which lined up perfectly with the announcement of the ''DX'' remake.
** Similarly, just about everybody successfully guessed LP 45 would be ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''.
** Many people correctly guessed that LP 47 would be a replay of VideoGame/PaperMario64 following the "one of the most important games to my childhood" hint, as Emile has praised the game many times in the past.
** In his LP of ''Black 2 and White 2'', many fans were able to guess that Chugga was evolving his Eevee into Vaporeon simply by process of elimination.
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/chuggaaconroy/comments/14tnbe8/i_know_chuggas_final_pokemon_blackwhite_2_team/ At least one fan]] managed to successfully predict Chugga's last team member in ''White 2'' would be the Crustle from Seaside Cave.
