This is one of my most high effort videos so far, 20+ drawings and SO much editing, i hope y'all like it :) The Scarlet/Violet Nuzlocke is 2 weeks away so make sure to subscribe, it's gonna be NUTS
I wanted this to kinda feel like a movie so I did a lot of things that go against the TH-cam algorithm Make sure to watch all the way to the end for a setup to a future Nuzlocke 👀
Thank you for all thos effort just to make a wonderful and fantastic movie. It can be described as nothing else; than a emotional roller-coaster of a story presented in the best way possible. From the bottom of my heart Moxie, _Thank you._ -One of your many random subscribers.
How it must feel to have grown up with the original Diamond, Pearl and Platinum like you people have. I don't have the instinctual fear of that piano piece.
@@JoshtheOverlander It's a huge moment for us. There aren't many words that can describe remembering the day one fought Cynthia in the original Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The easiest way I can sum it up? *You stand before the champion.*
The passion, the raw emotions I feel when I look at this art, it's more than a picture, it's a story. A story with hope, love, excitement and tragedy. It's enough to make a grown man cry, or at least this college girl. Godspeed Moxie, I look forward to seeing you in Scarlet/Violet and for the future.
(Moxie glitch said) why is it in the game that u can attack 2 time in a row there also exist a completely broken move from the strongest pokemon in the game that automatically changes you to the type thats super effective.

Alright, I promised that I would do this a while back, and ended up procrastinating for a full month, so that’s fun. But now that the holidays are over, and my Clubstep practice is coming to a close (69% currently), I can finally get to work on this. So without further ado, may I present my interpretations of the Moxie2D Volo fight. I really, REALLY love how this fight was executed. With one minor nitpick I’ll go into later, I think this might be your most well-put together (human battle) sequence so far for a myriad of reasons, the most obvious being the special effects and glitches. They’re so seamlessly woven into the gameplay, and so brilliantly sell the danger of the situation. If I’m not mistaken, it was Arceus that was speaking through those glitched text boxes. In other words, even GOD HIMSELF feared what this guy was capable of. His skill was so far ahead of his time that Arceus literally needed to pluck the best trainer from hundreds of years later out of the space-time continuum and drop them right in front of him just to make sure the world had a fighting chance. What Volo lacked in allies compared to Cyrus, he more than made up for with individual firepower. Speaking of the fight itself, the Senpai sweep was honestly a genius idea, for a surprising amount of reasons. While I do think the idea of a single Pokemon sweep diffused some of the tension, it doesn’t really matter, since not only was it hilarious, it almost felt like an act of defiance against your own chat. In this and the SP hardcore nuzloke, everyone looked on the moment you caught Lopunny as a certified SFK moment. This fight was the complete antithesis of that, showing that the anime rabbit is more than just fodder for sus jokes. Not only that, but the method used was thematically accurate as well, masterfully utilizing Senpai’s perfect two-move coverage, along with his one great stat: his speed. The strategy worked especially well for this fight in particular, since while Cynthia’s team is a more balanced style, Volo’s functions like a hyperoffensive wave, designed to brutally crush the opponent as fast as possible, with moves like petal dance and raging fury used to surgically remove specific pokemon, and making perfect use of the game’s unique battle style. And like a real wave, trying to hold it back is useless. Your only hope of survival is to ride the wave, barely outpacing it’s ever-growing momentum. And that’s exactly how Senpai managed to pull it off. Not by tanking their hits, or hitting hard himself, but by just barely staying ahead of them, perfectly utilizing his blistering speed and superior levels, long enough to wear them down into kill range. However, as was shown, the strategy didn’t work perfectly, as Volo’s Garchomp managed to score a solid hit just before dropping. He wouldn’t be battling much longer anytime soon, but that didn’t matter. She had finished the job. Volo was defeated. Until he wasn’t This is where things started to get really bad. Not only was Senpai badly injured, not only was his best strategy completely useless here, but this thing was packing aura sphere, which would’ve shredded through Senpai cleanly. This was why Bean threw himself out against the impossible behemoth that stood before them. He wasn’t the best counter to Giratina himself, but he ended up saving Senpai’s life with that act. And it cost him dearly. They thought they were being safe. He was frostbitten and on the verge of a 2HKO. Beam could survive another earth power if required, and he was fast enough to land the last two hits. However, Giratina didn’t go for earth power. He vanished from reality, and with one last chilling roar, tore through Bean’s formally unbreakable bulk like a knife through butter. Honestly, this is probably the second best death scene in the Moxieverse so far (just behind you-know-what). The brutally graphic artwork of his shadow-infested wounds, the somber piano heralding the tragedy (probably my favorite OST usage across all your videos, please use it more), the small “farewell buddy, you did good”, perfectly selling the despair of the moment with only a few words, all culminating in the this beautiful moment when the music swells to it’s climax, and Shy takes her place against the enemy. What I really like about this part in particular is that the only reason that Shy survived that initial assault is because of the freeze left behind by Bean’s ice punch. Even after he was gone, he still found a way to save everyone. With a clear path, and a calm mind-boosted ice beam, she finally brought down the monster that cost Bean his life. EXCEPT HE’S STILL NOT DONE! Cue take three of this insane sequence, where Giratina is EVEN STRONGER now, and isn’t even frostbitten anymore! JOY AND HAPPINESS! Anyway, despite the absurdity of the situation she was in, Shy still managed to emerge victorious, but it wasn’t just because of her. She wouldn’t have survived the first Shadow Force if it wasn’t for Bean, and Bean wouldn’t have even gotten to that point if Senpai hadn’t cleared the way. And I think that is where this spectacle shines the most: it’s portrayal of the collaboration between the three demigods that took up the impossible challenge of standing against this master trainer and his demonic bouncer. They all had their own part to play in bringing him down. In my opinion, even with a 6-0 sweep, the fight never seemed too easy or tensionless, and absolutely soared in its thematic storytelling. Probably my third favorite scene in the entire Moxieverse, just behind the Arceus fight immediately after, and the Sequence That Made Everybody Cry (because let’s be honest, no one is ever topping the sheer emotional richness of that sequence). I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: you are on the path to TH-cam greatness, Moxie. The undisputed best PokeTuber on the platform. That is all. Buh-bye.
That Lopunny sweep was so dumb but it worked out and I love it. Making Cynthia's encounter piano theme into Volo's battle theme was the best decision GameFreak ever made when it comes to music. Also the "PSYCHE! THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!" moment was SO AWESOME, and of course the cutscene with Volo and Giratina is so amazingly cinematic. Freaking coolest battle ever. Also hate to disappoint you, but if George and Sakura have an egg together, it will be a Petilil, and those are only female, so Phil would technically never be born from those parents (unless George's nitro powers overrides that). EDIT: The last part was not meant as offense, I was just stating a fact of how Pokémon works in regards of female-only Pokémon, when realistically their offspring SHOULD be a hybrid of the parents' species, or perhaps being either or, like how Lady and the Tramp has a bunch of cocker spaniel pups and one terrier pup (and for some reason the spaniels are all girls while the terrier is the only boy, matching their parents' genders). Someone explained it might be George's special nitro powers that overrides the female-only offspring rule here, allowing a Cyndaquil to be born instead, and I accept that explanation. I just like to make sense of stuff when something contradicts established rules in certain universes. I like consistency, and if something is inconsistent, I need an explanation for why, so I can understand. After all, explanations makes the world and characters feel more thought-out, makes the lore feel deeper and more interesting, right?
here is my interpretation of his head canon. Due to George being divine blessed, his Hisuian Lilligant now has a decent chance of Hatching his Purple Cyndaquil on his other play through
@@viniciusgrosse1958 I'm not trying to be unfun, I'm just saying... that's how Pokémon nature works. Baby inherits mom's species, makes sense, right? If a whale had a baby with a cat, it would make sense for the whale to birth a whale and not a cat, right? @jirehtheprovider But alright, I guess we can say George is divinely blessed and that overrides nature. It worked for Maria with Jesus, so why not? XD
@@Rubywing4 it doesn't matter if you're trying or not. u are extremely boring. Amd even tho I mentioned it, your SMARTASS keeps trying to use IN GAME LOGIC for an inocent little MADE UP NUZLOCKE STORY
@@viniciusgrosse1958 Geez, calm down dude. You don't gotta be so rude. I said one thing and then you just assume something about me, just because I said something that literally everyone in the community knows is true, and you call me boring for stating a fact? I hope that's not how you respond to every person who brings up facts, because uh, that doesn't put *you* in a good light...
moxie not only is your art amazing but you may very well have a future in voice acting the way you changed your voice with the volo reveal made me feel like he was actually talking
Coming back to this a year later, it’s insane how much effort you put into each and every detail of your content, especially the continuity between videos. How do you improvise a better story than most people with full scrips? These are always the kinds of TH-camrs that I enjoy the most. The ones that, despite the algorithm begging them not to, really take the time and effort required to bring their amazing ideas to life. Someday soon, I think I’ll do a full analysis of (my interpretations of) the Volo fight, since there’s so much to say just about that part alone. So look forward to that.
I teared up when Aura saved you from that final blast of Arceus. Your pokemon sacrificing themselves so that you can survive is... an amazing way to bring story and heartbreak into a nuzlocke where you're in as much danger as your pokemon. Bravo Moxie, your art is amazing and the divine blessing of arceus allowing Phil to be born in the future was a masterstroke
Bird Keeper Toby has an excellent theory on that Volo scene. Volo fell through that space time rift just like you did. He actually came from the past and was defeated by that hero that is probably Alder from Unova who is depicted in many of the homes of the diamond and pearl clans. When Volo was defeated in his time, he jumped in the space time rift and came to this one. He will no doubt go in the rift once more to try his luck again, hoping Arceus' next champion won't be as strong
Your storytelling and music/editing made this just so epic to watch!! 😭 The whole series was so entertaining and emotional. I even teared up a few times. 🥺 You're amazing Moxie! Keep going! 😄
I... don't know what to say. There's no other way to describe it. This is a masterpiece. In all my years of watching TH-cam, i have never seen anything like this. The perfectly timed effects and glitches, the surprisingly good voice acting considering it's only coming from one guy, the sublime fanart of some of the most tragic deaths Iv'e ever seen, all glued together by the greatest OST I've ever had the joy of experiencing. But by far the greatest element of this story is how it ties every nuzloke before together. Jaiden and George ascended to godhood and got to meet the almighty Greg, Phil being the product of George and Sakura, who sent their egg into the future (probably via Dialga, since they know each other now) knowing that future Moxie would somehow find it. It's some of the best storytelling Iv'e ever seen a TH-cam video. The most impressive thing about this is how it manages to make you feel. I must have cried at least 3 times watching this (Bean's death, Aura's sacrifice, and the end), and i'm not someone who breaks easily. In opinion, this easily blows every other nuzloke I've watched out of the water (even Jaiden's masterfully crafted Platinum loke). This video is what truly made me fall in love with pokemon, and gave me the motivation to complete the second BDSP rematches. Moxie, I can't thank you enough for this sublime piece of art. (I also named my lucario Aura before I even found this. Just thought that was funny).
What. A. Story! The subtle glitches on the walk up to Arceus, the emotional ups and downs, twists and turns. Masterfully done, Mox! Kinda glad I didn’t watch the VODs so I could experience this with fresh eyes. Well worth the wait, as always.
You said this was the best video you ever made and i can confirm. This is awsome!!! And the animated drawings?! HELLO?! Moxie this is godlike 👏😍✨ Btw, thank you so much for mentioning me in the video ❤️
Beautiful editing. Great art, as always. Loved the storytelling. I legit cried during the losses in the Arceus fight. Thank you for sharing your time, your story, and your art with us. You are truly a top tier Pokémon streamer, and I’m so glad I’m subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to many more videos to come!
The editing on this video BLEW MY MIND!!! Absolutely in love with all the glitches and especially loved the moment with Volo at 8:46. You can tell how much effort and love went into making this video and it turned out AMAZING.
Can we just appreciate the joy on Moxies face slowly fading away as Cynthia's theme starts up? Has to be the best reaction I've seen to Volo, then sweeps with a Lopunny. Amazing.
Moxie’s art always looks so cinematic and really well done! They always work so well with Pokémon and the nuzlocke and it really helps with feeling the emotions in the moment Honestly some of the best Pokémon art ever comes from this guy
This whole video doesn’t have the right too be as epic as it is man Fantastic job on this video man, awesome art, somehow emotional moments, your Pokémon liking each other an little too much…. Everything was just *chefs kiss*
I've played this game from start to finish at least thirty different times now (I really like the game if you can't tell) and this video, the way it's edited and the nuzlocke rules really made me feel just as energized and amazed as the first time I played. Excellent work, Moxie!
Your story telling is amazing. I teared up at those drawings and editing for your pokemon ahh! I never experienced nuzlocke like this and i love it so much
I saw the finale on Twitch, this entire nuzlocke was legendary, the game is amazing, and Moxie’s art and humour made it even better. Can’t wait for the next nuzlocke!
14:48 Yo!! That's me up there! Fantastic video as always Moxie. God tier storytelling and editing. Got chills watching these events unfold again. Keep up the amazing work you Legend!
This is a work of art and I’m glad I got to see the ending, thanks for the amazing content and congrats on winning the first ever legends arceus nuzlocke
33:01 I just heard the first two notes and instantly I was hit by a storm of nostalgia because of the Gohan’s song 💀 Both Gohan’s songs are the best fr Future Gohan’s death and this song are just one of the best soundtracks of all anime
Oh wow, the end of this video hit me kinda hard. I'm sure it's because of the beautiful artwork you've used to tell the story, I legit cried at the sacrifice. Other than a certain artist's shinx scene, I've never really get so emotionally invested in nuzlocke videos. You've really got some skill and I'm glad to find and subscribe.
This was incredibly well done… But can we talk about how hilarious that whip around at 20:33 was 😂 I knew his reaction to phase 2 of the fight would be great but the utter disbelief turned sheer terror then back to disbelief was amazing 🤩
this video is so impressive, the voice acting, the first phase of the volo fight (I'm just slightly mad that he didn't lose 500 times) the animations, just everything! can't watch the full video but I'm looking forward to the rest when i get home from work
The lore in this game is amazing but the lore in your channel is beyond incredible. Your art is stunning, your storytelling is marvelous. The glitches, the twist and turns, the ups and downs, truly amazing. Keep up the good work Moxie.
I knew he was suspicious ever since the first battle where he only had a fucking Togepi "Mr. I'm-not-Suspicious" Still love the "OH NO" "Oh its just Volo" in the first video too
I know this video is a bit old now, but this is my first time seeing it and just- wow. The music, the effects, the editing, THE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK, all come together to create this wonderful story. This video really brings out the beauty and epicness of this game, and I certainly have a newfound appreciation for it. Thanks for creating, dude.
That drawing with having just a toe in the AOE is so freaking relatable man. You did an incredible job with this video, I’ve been looking forward to it and you did NOT disappoint! :D
Everyone always told me "Alolan ninetales is such a bad Pokemon" because of the 4X steel weakness. But moxie just justified why I love it so much. thank you shy :)
You’ve seriously raised the standards (AGAIN, lol) for other pokétubers adding artistic effects into their playthroughs. I’ve not yet seen anyone else put so many FULL ON drawings in their nuzlocke supercuts like the way you do. (Not counting animators, cuz that’s a bit different. 😅)
Ayo moxie. That was a beautiful and hype video. Props my dude! Despite watching it live when it happened, I was still on the edge of my seat. Love the effects! Looking forward to more in the future!
12:45 AND NOY YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE CHAT WAS WARNING YA….. The VOLÓ fight has officially become my single favorite fight in ALL THE SERIES. HES CRAZY, TOUGH, BADASS, CHALLENGING, EPIC. He nailed EVERYTHING!! And the GIRATINA FIGHT is the icing on the cake!! Good luck…..
I just wanna say this is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and hot damn I was blown away. Every aspect of this video is superb, your reactions, the editing, the storytelling, the artwork and music etc. In all honesty I originally clicked on this video simply because I was curious of this game’s post game, I’m glad I did. You mate have earned a sub!
THIS WAS INSANE. the storytelling was amazing and as someone who has watched you live when you were doing the platinum nuzloke i love to see how much you have grown since then and i cant wait to see whats next
This video is sooooo good. The choice of music that moxie chose is amazing. The story telling is some of the best on YT. The art, along with being super cool, helps tell the story so much. This was a video worth the wait, and easily one of my favorite videos on YT as a whole!!!
Moxie you absolute legend! I recognized every single FF14 song you used in this video and loved how you used them! It added a lot to the narration and edition style of the video! Well done Sir!
the Pokemon Legends Nuzlocke series needs more views. Only have gotten into watching not just your nuzlockes but other individuals and I didn't realize what I've been missing out on. Don't ever stop on what you want to do because it's amazing.
THAT WAS A FRICKIN MASTERPIECE!!! It was a joy to be apart of the Streams and even better to watch that in video!!!! THE STORY TELLING MAN!!! BRILLIANT, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!! And how you tide it into the FireRed Nuzlocke!?!?!?! I have been anticipating that video for ages!!! And the way you tide that into this Nuzlocke, seems so seamless like it wasn't down a year before this one, now that is AMAZING!!! I'm even more hyped for the upcoming video, if this is any indicator. The Editing, pacing, emotion, the MUSIC ahhh THE FREAKING MUSIC!!!!! THAT LAST REMIX OF THE FINAL BATTLE, IS JUST HYPE!!! Man that was amazing!!! 10/10 VIDEO!!! Cannot wait for the Scarlet and Violet Streams!!!
Moxie, thank you for posting this, genuinely one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam in so long. I know this must have been such a high effort video to record and make, it means so much to me that you put this much effort for us. So once again thank you. From the bottom of my heart you are a great TH-camr and streamer, I hope your days are filled with the best and good luck on your next Nuzelocke.

yea, im a grown man and i cried. shit was beautiful.
Alright, I promised that I would do this a while back, and ended up procrastinating for a full month, so that’s fun.
But now that the holidays are over, and my Clubstep practice is coming to a close (69% currently), I can finally get to work on this.
So without further ado, may I present my interpretations of the Moxie2D Volo fight.
I really, REALLY love how this fight was executed. With one minor nitpick I’ll go into later, I think this might be your most well-put together (human battle) sequence so far for a myriad of reasons, the most obvious being the special effects and glitches. They’re so seamlessly woven into the gameplay, and so brilliantly sell the danger of the situation. If I’m not mistaken, it was Arceus that was speaking through those glitched text boxes.

However, as was shown, the strategy didn’t work perfectly, as Volo’s Garchomp managed to score a solid hit just before dropping. He wouldn’t be battling much longer anytime soon, but that didn’t matter. She had finished the job. Volo was defeated.
Until he wasn’t
This is where things started to get really bad. Not only was Senpai badly injured, not only was his best strategy completely useless here, but this thing was packing aura sphere, which would’ve shredded through Senpai cleanly.
This was why Bean threw himself out against the impossible behemoth that stood before them. He wasn’t the best counter to Giratina himself, but he ended up saving Senpai’s life with that act.
And it cost him dearly.
They thought they were being safe. He was frostbitten and on the verge of a 2HKO. Beam could survive another earth power if required, and he was fast enough to land the last two hits.
However, Giratina didn’t go for earth power.
He vanished from reality, and with one last chilling roar, tore through Bean’s formally unbreakable bulk like a knife through butter.
Honestly, this is probably the second best death scene in the Moxieverse so far (just behind you-know-what). The brutally graphic artwork of his shadow-infested wounds, the somber piano heralding the tragedy (probably my favorite OST usage across all your videos, please use it more), the small “farewell buddy, you did good”, perfectly selling the despair of the moment with only a few words, all culminating in the this beautiful moment when the music swells to it’s climax, and Shy takes her place against the enemy.
What I really like about this part in particular is that the only reason that Shy survived that initial assault is because of the freeze left behind by Bean’s ice punch. Even after he was gone, he still found a way to save everyone.
With a clear path, and a calm mind-boosted ice beam, she finally brought down the monster that cost Bean his life.
EXCEPT HE’S STILL NOT DONE!
Cue take three of this insane sequence, where Giratina is EVEN STRONGER now, and isn’t even frostbitten anymore!
JOY AND HAPPINESS!
Anyway, despite the absurdity of the situation she was in, Shy still managed to emerge victorious, but it wasn’t just because of her. She wouldn’t have survived the first Shadow Force if it wasn’t for Bean, and Bean wouldn’t have even gotten to that point if Senpai hadn’t cleared the way.
And I think that is where this spectacle shines the most: it’s portrayal of the collaboration between the three demigods that took up the impossible challenge of standing against this master trainer and his demonic bouncer. They all had their own part to play in bringing him down.

@@viniciusgrosse1958 I'm not trying to be unfun, I'm just saying... that's how Pokémon nature works. Baby inherits mom's species, makes sense, right?
If a whale had a baby with a cat, it would make sense for the whale to birth a whale and not a cat, right?
@jirehtheprovider But alright, I guess we can say George is divinely blessed and that overrides nature. It worked for Maria with Jesus, so why not? XD
@@Rubywing4 it doesn't matter if you're trying or not. u are extremely boring. Amd even tho I mentioned it, your SMARTASS keeps trying to use IN GAME LOGIC for an inocent little MADE UP NUZLOCKE STORY
@@viniciusgrosse1958 Geez, calm down dude. You don't gotta be so rude.
I said one thing and then you just assume something about me, just because I said something that literally everyone in the community knows is true, and you call me boring for stating a fact?
I hope that's not how you respond to every person who brings up facts, because uh, that doesn't put *you* in a good light...
moxie not only is your art amazing but you may very well have a future in voice acting the way you changed your voice with the volo reveal made me feel like he was actually talking
"This is the greatest high!"
-- DIO
Aura didnt save only you, he wished George and Sakura to have a good life. True legend, he will be remembered.
Coming back to this a year later, it’s insane how much effort you put into each and every detail of your content, especially the continuity between videos. How do you improvise a better story than most people with full scrips?
These are always the kinds of TH-camrs that I enjoy the most. The ones that, despite the algorithm begging them not to, really take the time and effort required to bring their amazing ideas to life.
Someday soon, I think I’ll do a full analysis of (my interpretations of) the Volo fight, since there’s so much to say just about that part alone.
So look forward to that.
I teared up when Aura saved you from that final blast of Arceus.
Your pokemon sacrificing themselves so that you can survive is... an amazing way to bring story and heartbreak into a nuzlocke where you're in as much danger as your pokemon. Bravo Moxie, your art is amazing and the divine blessing of arceus allowing Phil to be born in the future was a masterstroke
2y later I find someone who understands THE WAY I CRIED
"What type of name is Cogita"
Well, cogito means thought, volo means will. These names are nods to the lake guardians.
I didn’t know that!!
I'm getting goosebumps and actually tearing up with some of the losses and sacrifices that happen; love your content, art, and story telling.
Bird Keeper Toby has an excellent theory on that Volo scene. Volo fell through that space time rift just like you did. He actually came from the past and was defeated by that hero that is probably Alder from Unova who is depicted in many of the homes of the diamond and pearl clans. When Volo was defeated in his time, he jumped in the space time rift and came to this one. He will no doubt go in the rift once more to try his luck again, hoping Arceus' next champion won't be as strong
Your storytelling and music/editing made this just so epic to watch!! 😭 The whole series was so entertaining and emotional. I even teared up a few times. 🥺
You're amazing Moxie! Keep going! 😄
33:43 "you all forgot... This is Dark Souls" THAT PHRASE GOES HARD AS FUCK
I... don't know what to say.
There's no other way to describe it. This is a masterpiece.
In all my years of watching TH-cam, i have never seen anything like this. The perfectly timed effects and glitches, the surprisingly good voice acting considering it's only coming from one guy, the sublime fanart of some of the most tragic deaths Iv'e ever seen, all glued together by the greatest OST I've ever had the joy of experiencing.
But by far the greatest element of this story is how it ties every nuzloke before together. Jaiden and George ascended to godhood and got to meet the almighty Greg, Phil being the product of George and Sakura, who sent their egg into the future (probably via Dialga, since they know each other now) knowing that future Moxie would somehow find it. It's some of the best storytelling Iv'e ever seen a TH-cam video.
The most impressive thing about this is how it manages to make you feel. I must have cried at least 3 times watching this (Bean's death, Aura's sacrifice, and the end), and i'm not someone who breaks easily.
In opinion, this easily blows every other nuzloke I've watched out of the water (even Jaiden's masterfully crafted Platinum loke).
This video is what truly made me fall in love with pokemon, and gave me the motivation to complete the second BDSP rematches. Moxie, I can't thank you enough for this sublime piece of art.
(I also named my lucario Aura before I even found this. Just thought that was funny).
What. A. Story! The subtle glitches on the walk up to Arceus, the emotional ups and downs, twists and turns. Masterfully done, Mox! Kinda glad I didn’t watch the VODs so I could experience this with fresh eyes. Well worth the wait, as always.
A nuzlocke SHOULD NOT MAKE ME TEAR UP! Great video Moxie.
You said this was the best video you ever made and i can confirm. This is awsome!!! And the animated drawings?! HELLO?! Moxie this is godlike 👏😍✨
Btw, thank you so much for mentioning me in the video ❤️
NO THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!
@@moxie2D always
holy shit these effects, the STORY, THE LORE Moxie made another masterpiece, god the art is top tier too 👌✨
Beautiful editing. Great art, as always. Loved the storytelling. I legit cried during the losses in the Arceus fight. Thank you for sharing your time, your story, and your art with us. You are truly a top tier Pokémon streamer, and I’m so glad I’m subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to many more videos to come!
The editing on this video BLEW MY MIND!!! Absolutely in love with all the glitches and especially loved the moment with Volo at 8:46. You can tell how much effort and love went into making this video and it turned out AMAZING.
That one felt so real...The art had a huge impact to the whole story and I was just blown away on how spectacular that was
Can we just appreciate the joy on Moxies face slowly fading away as Cynthia's theme starts up? Has to be the best reaction I've seen to Volo, then sweeps with a Lopunny. Amazing.
Yeah but he was only able to do that because he over leveled, breaking the nuzlocke rules
Moxie’s art always looks so cinematic and really well done! They always work so well with Pokémon and the nuzlocke and it really helps with feeling the emotions in the moment
Honestly some of the best Pokémon art ever comes from this guy
That moment of sacrifice in the end gave me literal chills!
This whole video doesn’t have the right too be as epic as it is man
Fantastic job on this video man, awesome art, somehow emotional moments, your Pokémon liking each other an little too much…. Everything was just *chefs kiss*
That Aura moment was wonderfully crafted. Amazing art, I honestly teared up.
14:47 wit till he finds out he has 7/8 LOL 😂
I've played this game from start to finish at least thirty different times now (I really like the game if you can't tell) and this video, the way it's edited and the nuzlocke rules really made me feel just as energized and amazed as the first time I played. Excellent work, Moxie!
God Moxie the editing on this was insane! Easily your best video, RIP to all the titans that brought you this far
The editing at the end was NUTS!! So intense!!
You are truly an inspiration Moxie. You make people strive to become better versions of themselves, thank you for all you've done for us!
That Volo fight was incredible. Who knew Lopunny was the one to take down this legend.
Your story telling is amazing. I teared up at those drawings and editing for your pokemon ahh! I never experienced nuzlocke like this and i love it so much
Thank you!
@@moxie2D Lucario's death almost made me cry. He's been my favorite pokemon for years and the 2nd shiny I ever got
Shy: My trainer believed in me, I can not let him down. I will defend him from anyone who wants to harm him, even against satan himself!
The amount of pain I felt during the arceus fight when Aura sacrificed himself was immense. You could’ve sprinted out of the way!!!
I saw the finale on Twitch, this entire nuzlocke was legendary, the game is amazing, and Moxie’s art and humour made it even better. Can’t wait for the next nuzlocke!
14:48 Yo!! That's me up there! Fantastic video as always Moxie. God tier storytelling and editing. Got chills watching these events unfold again. Keep up the amazing work you Legend!
I loved the intensity from volo's fight forward
Love the DBZ music and illustration edits 6:02
This is a work of art and I’m glad I got to see the ending, thanks for the amazing content and congrats on winning the first ever legends arceus nuzlocke
33:01 I just heard the first two notes and instantly I was hit by a storm of nostalgia because of the Gohan’s song 💀
Both Gohan’s songs are the best fr
Future Gohan’s death and this song are just one of the best soundtracks of all anime
That video is incredible! The way you read Volo's lines gave me shivers so many times!
Oh wow, the end of this video hit me kinda hard. I'm sure it's because of the beautiful artwork you've used to tell the story, I legit cried at the sacrifice. Other than a certain artist's shinx scene, I've never really get so emotionally invested in nuzlocke videos. You've really got some skill and I'm glad to find and subscribe.
This was incredibly well done…
But can we talk about how hilarious that whip around at 20:33 was 😂
I knew his reaction to phase 2 of the fight would be great but the utter disbelief turned sheer terror then back to disbelief was amazing 🤩
Watching this again to psych myself up for finishing a drawing. 🔥
The voice you use for Moxie is now my canon voice. It’s perfect. Really made me engage more with the end game dialogue than when I played it myself.
this video is so impressive, the voice acting, the first phase of the volo fight (I'm just slightly mad that he didn't lose 500 times) the animations, just everything!
can't watch the full video but I'm looking forward to the rest when i get home from work
The lore in this game is amazing but the lore in your channel is beyond incredible. Your art is stunning, your storytelling is marvelous. The glitches, the twist and turns, the ups and downs, truly amazing. Keep up the good work Moxie.
I knew he was suspicious ever since the first battle where he only had a fucking Togepi
"Mr. I'm-not-Suspicious"
Still love the
"OH NO"
"Oh its just Volo" in the first video too
Volo: Giving a malicious speech
One guy in chat: I got a Papa John's ad
I know this video is a bit old now, but this is my first time seeing it and just- wow. The music, the effects, the editing, THE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK, all come together to create this wonderful story.
This video really brings out the beauty and epicness of this game, and I certainly have a newfound appreciation for it. Thanks for creating, dude.
That drawing with having just a toe in the AOE is so freaking relatable man. You did an incredible job with this video, I’ve been looking forward to it and you did NOT disappoint! :D
you are so incredible at story building in your video that glitch effect is just *chef's kiss*
This was such a great video, and amazing piece of storytelling. I nearly cried when Lucario sacrificed itself. Damn...
"This is dark souls" gave me chills down my spine
Greg was helping moxie the whole time like that's the only reason he would get so lucky
Everyone always told me "Alolan ninetales is such a bad Pokemon" because of the 4X steel weakness. But moxie just justified why I love it so much. thank you shy :)
You’ve seriously raised the standards (AGAIN, lol) for other pokétubers adding artistic effects into their playthroughs. I’ve not yet seen anyone else put so many FULL ON drawings in their nuzlocke supercuts like the way you do. (Not counting animators, cuz that’s a bit different. 😅)
Mox, this is the best and most fun nuzlock in the internet. 10/10 you killed it. I had so much fun watching.
Cant wait to watch this! Also Moxie you are amazing!
12:47 the way Moxie's face goes from excitement to pure terror is incredible
Nobody here going to talk about the god tier editing? I couldn't stop admiring it through the stress of the fight against god.
Moxie this was badass as hell, your art skills are unbelievable! keep up the good work....
Beautiful story may the survivors go even further beyond with Greg
this was such a good video the quality was amazing well done moxie !
Damn moxie, you’ve really outdone yourself… AGAIN! Your drawings were toptier as always! I really love the lore you put all the way in the end! ❤
Ayo moxie. That was a beautiful and hype video. Props my dude! Despite watching it live when it happened, I was still on the edge of my seat. Love the effects! Looking forward to more in the future!
Just amazing everything about this was perfectly made great job Moxie
TIME LOOP ALERT
Also love your stuff. The moxieverse continues.
Technically no one died in the arceus fight since it's spiritual
Glad to have been a part of this stream, even if only somewhat randomly.😅(also the editing of the final battle is insane, amazing job, Mox.)
12:45 AND NOY YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE CHAT WAS WARNING YA…..
The VOLÓ fight has officially become my single favorite fight in ALL THE SERIES.
HES CRAZY, TOUGH, BADASS, CHALLENGING, EPIC. He nailed EVERYTHING!! And the GIRATINA FIGHT is the icing on the cake!! Good luck…..
I just wanna say this is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and hot damn I was blown away. Every aspect of this video is superb, your reactions, the editing, the storytelling, the artwork and music etc. In all honesty I originally clicked on this video simply because I was curious of this game’s post game, I’m glad I did. You mate have earned a sub!
The story telling and the art! Literally perfect
THIS WAS INSANE. the storytelling was amazing and as someone who has watched you live when you were doing the platinum nuzloke i love to see how much you have grown since then and i cant wait to see whats next
Just finished and you did so good editing this video.
Thank you 🙏 I'm defs proud of this one, even if it goes against a lot of the TH-cam algorithm stuff
This video is sooooo good. The choice of music that moxie chose is amazing. The story telling is some of the best on YT. The art, along with being super cool, helps tell the story so much. This was a video worth the wait, and easily one of my favorite videos on YT as a whole!!!
Holy cow, the art and music made this 10x better
Moxie you absolute legend! I recognized every single FF14 song you used in this video and loved how you used them! It added a lot to the narration and edition style of the video! Well done Sir!
THE SEQUEL WE ALL NEEDED
the Pokemon Legends Nuzlocke series needs more views. Only have gotten into watching not just your nuzlockes but other individuals and I didn't realize what I've been missing out on. Don't ever stop on what you want to do because it's amazing.
I loved the part where he said "It's quick attack time" and then he quick attacked
THAT WAS A FRICKIN MASTERPIECE!!! It was a joy to be apart of the Streams and even better to watch that in video!!!! THE STORY TELLING MAN!!! BRILLIANT, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!! And how you tide it into the FireRed Nuzlocke!?!?!?! I have been anticipating that video for ages!!! And the way you tide that into this Nuzlocke, seems so seamless like it wasn't down a year before this one, now that is AMAZING!!! I'm even more hyped for the upcoming video, if this is any indicator. The Editing, pacing, emotion, the MUSIC ahhh THE FREAKING MUSIC!!!!! THAT LAST REMIX OF THE FINAL BATTLE, IS JUST HYPE!!! Man that was amazing!!! 10/10 VIDEO!!! Cannot wait for the Scarlet and Violet Streams!!!
Holy crap this is epic. Giratina isn’t a Pokémon in this game. It’s an elden ring boss. Like Melania he said “wait…” and just came back
The Music was awesome dude... very nice Video. Love the drawing
the most epic poketuber ever
15:55 bro Moxie’s smug smile is the best part of the video ong
“GIGAWAGAGAWAGOWOOOOOOOO”
I don't know how this became a meme but we're keeping it LOL
@@moxie2D legit everytime i see dialga, palkia, or giratina, i say gigawagagawagoogawoo and it is all because of you xD
Moxie, thank you for posting this, genuinely one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam in so long. I know this must have been such a high effort video to record and make, it means so much to me that you put this much effort for us. So once again thank you. From the bottom of my heart you are a great TH-camr and streamer, I hope your days are filled with the best and good luck on your next Nuzelocke.
Noti gang
Real ones
@@moxie2D how r u doing
the editing on these nuzlock videos are insane
