Yumemi Mumu Looks Back on Pokémon Tournament Win in Morning Stream

SPECIALITE — Yumemi Mumu, a member of Specialite’s fourth generation, spent an 11 a.m. stream on Sunday talking through the Pokémon tournament her team won the day before. She said it was the first time she had won a tournament in any game, and that the game being Pokémon made it all the more meaningful to her.

Mumu said her own record in the event was a losing one, but that the team’s play left her in awe. She praised her teammates’ use of Intimidate and their sharp reads, and said she apologized after oversleeping and missing one of the team’s practice sessions. She also thanked someone who coached her team through the event, saying that person took five or six coaching requests a day while preparing for the tournament.

“The first game I ever won a tournament in being Pokémon was, for me, really something special.” — Yumemi Mumu, on the previous day’s win

The win led into a long tangent on the series. Mumu said she last played ranked battles in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where she reached Master rank in two straight seasons, and she walked chat through the team she used then. She said she was curious about trying a Ghost-type-only run or a randomized-moves challenge, though she added several times that she was not promising to do it. She said she plans to hold another viewer-participation Scout Battle match soon for those who missed the last one.

Mumu also said Specialite will have a booth at Comic Market 109. She read from the group’s announcement that this year’s theme is a “dark and exciting facility,” with venue-only live streams, events and a free game with novelties planned, and said she wants to keep her voice in better shape than at the last Comic Market. She is aiming for 20,000 channel subscribers by the end of the month.

She closed by saying she would take Monday off after a week packed with collaborations, with her schedule to be posted afterward.
