==Life==
===Personal life===
Tony is from Seattle, Washington, and had moved in 2016 to Washington's suburbs. Tony has a brother named Troy, who goes by the alias AceTrainerTroy on YouTube. Tony blocked his brother on Twitter so his relationship with him is currently unknown. Around the time he had 40,000 subscribers, he had an ex-girlfriend who he broke up with at the time, with him staying with his father after. Tony owns a female husky named Lyca.
Tony has stated that he grew up a simple life in a rural or suburban environment. He didn't have access to the internet until he was 13.
In addition to being involved in the Pokémon community, Tony is also a part of the Furry community although he doesn't make videos relating to it. 
Tony despises anything related to primates (Monkeys, Apes, etc).
===Social life===
Tony's political and social values lean towards the American Conservative side.
Tony's social media seems to only include YouTube and Twitter, and he doesn't seem to have any other form of public social media that is known—like MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit, Patreon, OnlyFans, or Twitch.
When Tony was suspended from Twitter, Tony stated the reasoning for the Twitter suspension is that Tony was negatively speaking about the person who doxed him. Doxing is considered an invasion of privacy, and is considered a criminal offense. Tony is still upset that negatively speaking against his assailant can get someone suspended, but not doxing. Tony has had to deal with doxing, death threats, witch-hunting, and harassment.
===YouTube life===
Tony owned a cosplay channel called "fisher4930" before moving to a new channel called "Verlisify", which is the one he currently uses. He created a third channel called "Verlisify's Hot Takes", which is where he talks about his socio-political stances.
He began his channel in February of 2013, where he started to make a name for himself through making Minecraft tutorial videos, before beginning his Pokémon content during December 2013. He has also dabbled in Animal Crossing content, but doesn't really experiment with other types of video game content.
Tony was friends with fellow Youtuber aDrive, but aDrive's principles drove them further apart.
==Controversy==
===Conflicts concerning Original Content===
====PokeTips====
 On November 24, 2018, Verlisify uploaded a video titled "EVERYONE IS WRONG ABOUT SHINY POKEMON HUNTING! The BEST Pokemon Let's Go Shiny Hunting Guide". PokeTips uploaded a response video rebuking against Verlisify and talking about how he was claiming PokeTips' shiny-hunting methods as his own. Verlisify rebutted with a video named "PokeTips Is SCARED I Caught Him Lying! " talking about how PokeTips was antagonizing him, but then PokeTips made another response detailing all of the flaws in his arguments and even discussing his ad hominem arguments (like using PokeTips' sarcastic attitude as an argument against him).
A commenter on Verlisify's video tried to break up the conflict by demanding both YouTubers to apologize and get it over with, but Verlisify refused, believing that he was not at fault and PokeTips was solely to blame.
=== Conflict relating to commenters ===
Verlisify like to call out people critizing him as "NPCs"
