For those who didn’t watch the stream, Jaiden actually lost her first attempt at the Elite Four. Her Togekiss died to a crit Stone Edge against Aaron’s Heracross, and her Garchomp and Quagsire had really unlucky deaths against Bertha’s Rhyperior. Since the rest of her team was weak against Flint, she gave up. However, since the reason for her losing was extremely unlucky and not mistakes on her part, she did a poll asking if she could retry the Elite Four. 70% said yes, so she did it again. She won, but it was hollow. “Alternate Timeline Jaiden” was her, when she lost the first attempt.
The "undeserving win" and "Giratina splitting her" was actually a reference to her Twitch stream, where she actually lost the Nuzlocke, but the chat called court, and let her try again since she took like 10 crits or something.
@@akpokemon I think she didn’t tell us because she wanted to make the video longer and entertaining for us instead of a 12 minute video because she lost so...probably

@@nerdycookiebunny856 For what I understand (since I can't see the livestream replay), is that Jaiden lost the first try because of bad RNG (2 OHKO attacks hit 2 of her Pokemon). The chat let her retry one more time, and that is how she win. That is why of the glitches: Jaiden is looking at her "Original" version losing the original run.
@Jesper Ingebrigtsen i mean it could be but it isn’t, in the livestream she got critted and lost very important members of her team, which made it impossible for her to beat the elite 4, and she lost after the fire type user.
@Jesper Ingebrigtsen no she actually did lose to Bertha she just made an alternate reality story for the animation because its a bit boring to say in an animation "i lost and tried again" it was more fun to make a creative and interesting story.
Can we talk about the fact that she achieved to animate such a sad scene with that little poor scared shinx that was afraid to die and abandoned by his trainer? That was so fricking emotional, congrats

The ending is literally an anime ending. The music and timing is unbelievably good. By the way, for those who don’t know, the “glitches” are caused because jaiden actually lost on stream but chat let her have another go at the elite 4
Not even joking, the emotional scenes with the glitching and deaths were just fantastically animated and acted, props Jaiden. Literally got chills on the Elite 4 Edit: The ending was just explained to me. In the story version of what happened (aka this video as opposed to the stream) she did die a few times, which is when things glitched. The first time was in the other dimension, where she was originally split into a second person in a second timeline. I can't help but think it's really creative and cool to turn "my chat wanted me to keep going even though I lost lmao" into "there's a separate timeline where everything went wrong." That's a big factor in why this is my fav Jaiden animations vid so far. Jaiden, congrats on growing as an amazing storyteller, and the team, y'all are the true madlads :D
I know this video is 3 years old now but it’s still one of my favorites to go back and watch on your channel. The amount of amazing story telling, art work, and the emotion you put into your videos is awesome. I tear up watching this specific video every time and it’s absolutely amazing. You’re doing great Jaiden and we all love you
I love how bittersweet this video felt. Right from the getgo you can tell that it's not nearly as upbeat or cheery as the first nuzlocke. I like the way you chose to tell and animate the elite 4 battles. It was very funny with good joke placement, but it felt different from the first run in some ways. Not bad, just different.
Yeah ... actually, not to spoil anything, but I would just like to say that what actually happened is that Jaiden was fighting the Elite Four. She lost two Pokémon to OHKO crits (Quagsire from Rhyperior’s Earthquake and Togekiss from Heracross’ Stone Edge) and blamed it on RNG. As a result, she ran a poll on her stream for whether or not Jaiden should restart at the Elite Four because she wanted to try again to Cynthia and 70% of viewers said yes, so that’s what happened. She then says that the original Jaiden, who played with normal nuzlocke rules, wiped to Flint while the alternate Jaiden went all the way to Cynthia and became champion. I actually like this telling of the story.
*Destiny* The ending you got was destend for you. The flashes of alternate outcomes that you foresaw were a testament to your perseverance. You could have lost, you could have died, you could have even survived every crit. But in the end you came out on top. Claim your victory it is yours, a result of all the hard work that you put in. This was the ending meant for the strongest Jaiden.
@@lindakontoh-snelling3734 woah, guess I was wrong :/ nevertheless my comment could just be in the context of an alternate detention future created in a storyline of this video
This is to whoever is confused about the “distorted timeline”. Basically, Jaiden was doing this run before, but, she failed. The distorted timeline and the “guilt” at the end is her winning her second attempt. Just to tell anyone who is confused. (Also, her second attempt was her restarting at the first member, because none of her pokemon died until Bertha.)
This Nuzlocke was heartbreaking, emotional, beautiful, amazing in so many ways. This might be the best nuzlocke ever seen. The flashbacks and the storyline of 2 Jaidens and the deaths of the pokemon in the other dimension through the whole late parts of the game..... It was simply amazing, thank you Jaiden :)
Wow, the way Jaiden told this nuzlocke story with that alternative timeline glitch was so intense and gave such a powerful message. It’s crazy how that original failed attempt with the retry could express a simple Pokémon nuzlocke animation to something with a deeper meaning and message.
@@obvioussonicfan imagine being forced to fight for your life and the one you serve betrays you and you can't do anything about it plus how do we know we're just a game in someone's life what if this is a simulation would you like to be controlled and forced to do something you don't want to do
So for anyone confused about the whole giratina timeline jazz I’ll explain. In the nuzlocke during the stream Jaiden had lost half her team while fighting the elite 4 and held a poll during the stream where she would restart from the Pokémon Center in front of the elite 4 this is why she kept seeing flashbacks those are the Pokémon who died during those fights. Just thought I’d explain for anyone confused. Edit: For anyone looking for the stream it was reuploaded by “A daily dose of Jaiden”
For anyone who doesn't understand: Jaiden actually "lost" this Nuzlocke the first time she challenged the Elite Four. Her team was wiped out, but instead of quitting when she was so close, she chose to try again to at the very least beat the game, much to the support of her livestream at the time.
I was not expecting an animation like this to go so deep and to be kind of scary I was not expecting this and frankly I I like it I think it's interesting to see what she's thinking when it comes to just a simple game just what happens in a simple game can change someone's life. and to me what she's saying is actually really profound and I do agree.
Not gonna lie, the way failure was animated where it was looking up at Jaiden as she walks away, and then it turns around made me literally so sad- especially since Shinx’s r one of my fave pokemons based on design
To those curious about the glitchy scenes, she lost to flint in her "first run", and if you pay attention to the weird scenes she showed images of who beat who which was actually amazing, what happened was that during aaron, togekiss was killed, but that was ok. However against bertha, rhyperior took out quagsire which was her sole plan to take out garchomp. This caused her to make the rash decision of throwing in garchomp against a th rhyperior with earthquake and avalanche which cost her that too. If you look at the video it shows thyperior holdimg both garchomp and quagsire. Then, flint finished her team as they all were weak to fire which is shown how everyone left is burnt in the flames. She decided to go again because of course that's what we wanted and she managed to win.
I think this will always be my favorite video Jaiden has done. It was the first video of hers that I saw as well as the first video I saw that was in an animated story format. Funny enough though, I didn't have TH-cam at the time, but I did have Facebook which was where I was first introduced to Jaiden.
Fun fact: jaiden's garchomp nature are hasty which is lower it's defence and increase the speed. That's one reason that jaiden's garchomp can outspeed Cynthia's garchomp
might be true, but she grinded gabite by killing ponytas and that got her speed EVS which also helped with it. its like how when she killed 80 merill in her ruby nuzlocke with magneton and merills give 2 def EVS each so that magneton was VERY VERY bulky.
Honestly, one of the best animation storytellers on YT. Started out as the fun and happy Nuzlocke video like we got previously, then things took a turn towards the dark and real side towards the end. Honestly, great use of the Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon Soundtrack and the cover from the user. Thank you Jaiden for your incredible storytelling. This was way better than any Netflix drama and any other Pokemon video on YT.
Idk why but my English skills came at the end 😂. I loved how she kept asking rhetorical qs at the end of the vid and then used the repetition ‘I don’t know the answer’ (or whatever it was) which really made us the audience rlly feel more engaged
Literally a matrix situation where in the matrix part you succeed, but do you really? A matrix situation where you feel like the win was in a false dimension. I didn't watch the stream, so i'm wondering if it's the sheer luck that made the win not feel right, or if it's something deeper. (it's something deeper isn't it?)
@@Abhi-xy2hm I didn’t watch it, but I heard that she lost to the elite four the first time around so she went back to the save point of Giratina and retrained so that she could beat Cynthia. I’m not the best source but that’s what I’m seeing
@@Abhi-xy2hm apparently she lost several times in the elite 4, and the twitch chat allowed her to try again. What’s animated is the successful attempt. But during those flashbacks after every battle you see how the other attempts went down.
@@Abhi-xy2hm Her first Elite 4 run was canned by incredibly bad crit luck, which means she failed the challenge. The viewers told her to try again any way, and that smoother run was the one depicted here.
Okay, here’s what actually happened, and this may explain why she felt this way: While doing the Elite Four, Jaiden’s Togekiss died to a crit OHKO Stone Edge from Aaron’s Heracross and her Quagsire died to a crit OHKO Earthquake from Bertha’s Rhyperior. Blaming it on RNG, Jaiden declared the attempt a loss, but wanted to restart at the Elite Four to try and reach Cynthia. She put a poll on her Twitch chat to get opinions, and 70% of her viewers were okay with it. Original Jaiden wiped to Flint while alternate Jaiden became champion.
Jesus Jaiden. I was not expecting a whole-ass existential crisis and tears. Very well done from the direction, to the animation, to the sound. You and your team did an amazing job.
i love how she turned the concept of just regular save state using and turned it into the most hollow gut punch of an ending to a story i can think of.
"Jaiden's art and animation skills are so amazing!" Yeah, but can we talk about how great she is at storytelling? Honestly, she's on a level I aspire to reach. Truly incredible!
Ok but The way that Jaiden animated the “lost” run in as a separate universe is so cool. Maybe you didn’t win the Nuzlocke on the first try, but I think the video is better for it. Thanks for making another Nuzlocke.
Jeez, imagine being a lvl 5 shinx, stolen from your home, named failure by your trainer, kept in a box for days on end, only to be thrown out to your death on the 7th gym. Poor guy, RIP
@@littlekid1419 well your character looks really well! Definitely better than anything I’ve made for sure. Also I had to google OC because I had no idea what it meant.
Ruby nuzlocke: Shonen, lighthearted, always wins with the power of friendship, a happy ending that leaves you satisfied, feels more humor oriented Platinum nuzlocke: Seinen, a lot of people die including the pokemon equivalent of a kid, mc loses, a mysterious ending, darker tone at the end
@@anthonyroberts7486 oops was very important in the rest of the nuzlocke. They needed it to evolve and help them win. They should have sacraficed someone else who could take the hit possibly
“But, I don’t think I can ever accept this victory. I don’t know what ending was meant for me. And I don’t think I ever will.” . . . Damn, this hits hard. Not only do I relate but sometimes I feel as if I was meant for a different fate. I know this is for a Pokémon game but it still hits like a truck.
For the record, it was chat's decision to have Jaiden redo her elite 4 run. She failed the first time by getting super unlucky, and sometimes that's just how the game goes, but she was fine to have her loss be the end if that's what the viewers wanted.
For those confused by the duel jaiden thing, she died to Bertha on the first attempt due to some bad luck, but did one more try afterwards just to see if she could make it to Cynthia for the story
Thank you!! I was wondering if she had cheated at the elite 4 or got her ass handed to during the giratina battle, haha. It's such a neat way to make a good narrative out of something like that!
Okay, I seriously love how Giratina was used to literally pull off the whole 'this has happened before, but poorly' bit. Like... Its literally 'Satan', the Pokemon of Anti-Matter. It gave off a much more serious vibe and.. Honestly, gave it a kinda more serious and slightly dark outlook throughout the rest of the video with some jests at times. Yeah, maybe it could of worked as well with Diagla or Palkia, but.. Giratina is the only one to make it look so dark. And Giratina narrowing his eyes, not in an angry way.. But more of.. Mockingly 'I know' way? Perfection.
The split jaidens is actually a reference to how she failed pretty badly to the Elite 4 her first time, but chat let her have another go because it was her birthday.
I honestly see Giritina as being the embodiment of Gravity. Dialga and Palkia are Time and Space respectively, both of which are intrinsically linked (Spacetime and the theory of relativity specifically) and Giritina being Gravity makes more sense than Anti-matter, as an extremely strong force of gravity, like a Black Hole, can literally bend space and time in and around itself, while Anti-Matter doesn't have that effect (to my knowledge at least) instead completely obliterating any matter it comes into contact with. If the Distortion world was a world of Anti-Matter and Giritina was also an entity comprised of Anti-Matter the moment Giritina entered our reality or anyone entered the Distorion world, that should have started the process of obliteration until there was no more matter or anti-matter left in the area either entity existed in. However not only are we the players and Giritina able to exist in each other's respective worlds the way Giritina changes form depending on which dimension it's in, and if it's holding the Grisieous Orb or not, may in fact be a response to taking a form more suited for the respective gravity of either world. In the distortion world specifically there are multiple floating platforms that exist, some of which are either facing each other on their sides, or in the case of the waterfall basically facing one another head on, which (to me at least) suggests that each platform has their own respective gravity that's strong enough for us to be pulled toward when we jump (for lack of a better word) off of one platform and onto another which would be us leaving one platform's respective gravity "Bubble" and into the "Bubble" of another platform allowing us to stand "upright" relatively speaking. Didn't mean to go off on such a long tangent, but that's just my two cents here.
I personally liked this video because according to the other comments. Jaiden lost her first attempt in the Pokémon league and the corruption edits are from the jaiden that fell off the distortion world’s perspective. I loved that because it is showing the people who didn’t watch the stream. Also the picture shows the team dead,burnt, or some other fatality Edit: Holy Moly! Thanks For The Likes
is it bad that i laughed when she said 'it surrendered its life' but she forced him to be a poke-shield LMAO jaiden it didnt want to die you just sentenced it to death
The animation of Failure watching Jaiden walk away and staring at the Froslass made me feel so bad for the poor baby. He didn't deserve such a sad ending to his young life.
agreed... she said Failure gave up their life... but im just screaming that Failure didnt have a choice! He just wanted to help.... he just wanted love!
Why on earth she didn't Swords Dance Bullet Punch swept Candice with Scizor? Seriously, that was very stupid, Scizor isn't even weak to any of Candice's attacks.
The bit with the fight against Cynthia's garchomp was so cool...just the combination of how violently the garchomp kills jaiden's pokemon, and then flakes literally runs Cynthia's garchomp through...the animation was so perfect.
the truth about the history of this parallel universe is that Jaiden lost the first time she went to elite 4, but she went back in her savepoint in the elite four, I watched the livestream (I edited because some people are getting confuse, no she didn't restart the whole game, she just came back to the last save point in the elite four)
Unironically, this video is one of the most emotionally invested GAME recaps I’ve seen. The metaphor of the two different time lines you had, and the pain that came with one and the happiness/guilt with the other, was so poetic and heartfelt. I wonder how many people who came in expecting a normal entertaining video left with a life message? What a banger video dude
I was slightly confused about the ending, but definitely got the impression that it meant you had to take a second go at the Elite 4. I can't say I blame you or your chat at all for that, and I think it made for a REALLY cool way to work the distortion world dimension splitting into your video and I think you did an amazing job of it! I wish it had been just a little more obvious what happened, but I don't think that's a huge deal. Massive respect for the creativity it took to take all of the time and effort that went into the play through and turn the initial negative outcome into a really unique animation. Incredibly well done!
@@totallynameless8861 I mean theoretically every game over you get in any game could count as a split in the timeline where the hero loses and does not get their epic ending.
oooh if that's what happened, the ending makes a lot more sense to me now. I was equally confused and wondered if she's so torn because she threw the master ball at Giratina and it didn't feel earned. Or if she's sad that she couldn't bring all the pokemon because they died early. But your explanation makes a lot more sense! Would've loved a bit more clarification in the video tbh
The first time I saw this, I thought the whole thing with the 2 Jaidens and the glitching and the alternate timeline was actually part of the game's plot. Now after reading the comments I realize the meaning and have a new found respect in Jaiden's creative storytelling.
Jaiden at the end of the Ruby nuzlocke: We may have faced some challenges along the way, but all of my team, currently here or not, got us to this point, we are the rightful champion, but the journey was most important Jaiden at the end of the Platinum nuzlocke: I've won, but at what cost?
@SpiderSketches brosef, Pokemon Challenges said it best. These challenges are just ways to make you enjoy the game more. She can do what she wants. And to be honest, I feel like if she had first tried the E4, the title of the video would be different.
I find it interesting she gives you a Togepi egg and then has a Togekiss on her team later. Maybe she's trying to hint that Togekiss is a pretty good Pokemon and is hoping it'll give you a fighting chance?
@@Tierneil You kind of can't play around crits in Nuzlockes because depending on the version, there's no guarantee that you'll ever obtain a pokemon who is able to learn Safeguard, has the Shell Armor or Battle Armor ability, and no items exist to prevent critical hits (conversely, there are items to increase crit chances instead). Crits also are the thing that keep Nuzlockes challenging because a pro player would otherwise just strategize and play around everything with little to no real risk.
@@joshuakim5240 You play around crit threat and if your pokemon is able to survive. There are avoidable crit deaths. But yes, there are some that aren't , and thats part of the challenge
I don't know anything about this channel, this just showed up as an autoplay. I have to say though, holy shit the level of effort put into this made me stop what I was doing and watch the entire thing after the 1st 30 seconds. I haven't seen any other videos on your channel yet but sub earned. Seriously this was incredible.
kinda wild to hear of someone who doesn't know of jaiden ngl but you should definitely check out her other stuff, she puts an insane amount of effort into every video ! and they're hella binge worthy
For those who didn’t watch the stream, Jaiden actually lost her first attempt at the Elite Four. Her Togekiss died to a crit Stone Edge against Aaron’s Heracross, and her Garchomp and Quagsire had really unlucky deaths against Bertha’s Rhyperior. Since the rest of her team was weak against Flint, she gave up. However, since the reason for her losing was extremely unlucky and not mistakes on her part, she did a poll asking if she could retry the Elite Four. 70% said yes, so she did it again. She won, but it was hollow. “Alternate Timeline Jaiden” was her, when she lost the first attempt.

Yeah ... actually, not to spoil anything, but I would just like to say that what actually happened is that Jaiden was fighting the Elite Four. She lost two Pokémon to OHKO crits (Quagsire from Rhyperior’s Earthquake and Togekiss from Heracross’ Stone Edge) and blamed it on RNG. As a result, she ran a poll on her stream for whether or not Jaiden should restart at the Elite Four because she wanted to try again to Cynthia and 70% of viewers said yes, so that’s what happened. She then says that the original Jaiden, who played with normal nuzlocke rules, wiped to Flint while the alternate Jaiden went all the way to Cynthia and became champion. I actually like this telling of the story.
*Destiny*
The ending you got was destend for you. The flashes of alternate outcomes that you foresaw were a testament to your perseverance. You could have lost, you could have died, you could have even survived every crit. But in the end you came out on top. Claim your victory it is yours, a result of all the hard work that you put in. This was the ending meant for the strongest Jaiden.
I think the ending was that she already failed not that she could have failed. Or I read the comment wrong.
@@lindakontoh-snelling3734 you're right, she originally lost in the elite 4
@@lindakontoh-snelling3734 your right, she did die, the twitch chat told her to keep the run going.
@@lindakontoh-snelling3734 woah, guess I was wrong :/ nevertheless my comment could just be in the context of an alternate detention future created in a storyline of this video
I’m in tears 😭
This is to whoever is confused about the “distorted timeline”. Basically, Jaiden was doing this run before, but, she failed. The distorted timeline and the “guilt” at the end is her winning her second attempt. Just to tell anyone who is confused. (Also, her second attempt was her restarting at the first member, because none of her pokemon died until Bertha.)
well thanks that helped
Omg thanks
Did she load an old save?
Or did she restart her entire playthrough when she lost?
@@zecta2293 no im pretty sure she just healed her Pokémon, it was her birthday when she was streaming and list and the chat have her another chance
In the end it made for a better story than starting over from the beginning
6:23 subtle foreshadowing
This Nuzlocke was heartbreaking, emotional, beautiful, amazing in so many ways. This might be the best nuzlocke ever seen. The flashbacks and the storyline of 2 Jaidens and the deaths of the pokemon in the other dimension through the whole late parts of the game..... It was simply amazing, thank you Jaiden :)
I agree with everything you said there, couldn't have said it better
When i looked at the comment it said it had one reply.
But i see two replies (not including this one.
Hmm.
Wow, the way Jaiden told this nuzlocke story with that alternative timeline glitch was so intense and gave such a powerful message. It’s crazy how that original failed attempt with the retry could express a simple Pokémon nuzlocke animation to something with a deeper meaning and message.

So for anyone confused about the whole giratina timeline jazz I’ll explain. In the nuzlocke during the stream Jaiden had lost half her team while fighting the elite 4 and held a poll during the stream where she would restart from the Pokémon Center in front of the elite 4 this is why she kept seeing flashbacks those are the Pokémon who died during those fights. Just thought I’d explain for anyone confused.

Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks!
ur animated nuzlock videos always make me cry cuz you make the pokemon so cute😭🤧
For anyone who doesn't understand: Jaiden actually "lost" this Nuzlocke the first time she challenged the Elite Four. Her team was wiped out, but instead of quitting when she was so close, she chose to try again to at the very least beat the game, much to the support of her livestream at the time.
Specifically, she never made it past Flint iirc, which is why Rhyperior and Flint, in general, caused flashcuts of death in the animation.
Omg that makes it so much more crazy. Thanks for sharing.
Man you are the best
and we got a deep Ending that better than original game ending that more than you just become a champion
yes watch purplecliffe
“I don’t know what ending was meant for me, I don’t think I ever will.” This line is going to be locked up in my memory forever.
Yes, yes indeed
I was not expecting an animation like this to go so deep and to be kind of scary I was not expecting this and frankly I I like it I think it's interesting to see what she's thinking when it comes to just a simple game just what happens in a simple game can change someone's life. and to me what she's saying is actually really profound and I do agree.
same
Those moments where she doesnt speak at all were really good
Call me the bad ending
If played ALOT of Pokémon games
And only became champion in sw&sh the elite fours are pieces of sh*t
Not gonna lie, the way failure was animated where it was looking up at Jaiden as she walks away, and then it turns around made me literally so sad- especially since Shinx’s r one of my fave pokemons based on design

_oops_ thats a rip _lol_
To those curious about the glitchy scenes, she lost to flint in her "first run", and if you pay attention to the weird scenes she showed images of who beat who which was actually amazing, what happened was that during aaron, togekiss was killed, but that was ok. However against bertha, rhyperior took out quagsire which was her sole plan to take out garchomp. This caused her to make the rash decision of throwing in garchomp against a th rhyperior with earthquake and avalanche which cost her that too. If you look at the video it shows thyperior holdimg both garchomp and quagsire. Then, flint finished her team as they all were weak to fire which is shown how everyone left is burnt in the flames. She decided to go again because of course that's what we wanted and she managed to win.
THANK you
Wow
....The fuck-
Did she redo the whole thing or just the elite 4
This understands now
I think this will always be my favorite video Jaiden has done. It was the first video of hers that I saw as well as the first video I saw that was in an animated story format. Funny enough though, I didn't have TH-cam at the time, but I did have Facebook which was where I was first introduced to Jaiden.
Fun fact: jaiden's garchomp nature are hasty which is lower it's defence and increase the speed. That's one reason that jaiden's garchomp can outspeed Cynthia's garchomp
might be true, but she grinded gabite by killing ponytas and that got her speed EVS which also helped with it. its like how when she killed 80 merill in her ruby nuzlocke with magneton and merills give 2 def EVS each so that magneton was VERY VERY bulky.

Honestly, great use of the Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon Soundtrack and the cover from the user. Thank you Jaiden for your incredible storytelling. This was way better than any Netflix drama and any other Pokemon video on YT.
Idk why but my English skills came at the end 😂. I loved how she kept asking rhetorical qs at the end of the vid and then used the repetition ‘I don’t know the answer’ (or whatever it was) which really made us the audience rlly feel more engaged

Blaming it on RNG, Jaiden declared the attempt a loss, but wanted to restart at the Elite Four to try and reach Cynthia.

I thought she had an animation team tho? Unless that's just James.
The art and animation is so amazing I got so sad when failure died. It looks too realistic ;-;

The way that Jaiden animated the “lost” run in as a separate universe is so cool. Maybe you didn’t win the Nuzlocke on the first try, but I think the video is better for it. Thanks for making another Nuzlocke.

Thank you for the explanation. I was so confused. I was like, oh maybe she forgot to use Girintina. But thank you kind sir
Thank you!! I was wondering if she had cheated at the elite 4 or got her ass handed to during the giratina battle, haha. It's such a neat way to make a good narrative out of something like that!
Dam really? Well despite that I really enjoyed how she too a spin on her defeat on the Nuzlocke with the two Jaidens.
Okay, I seriously love how Giratina was used to literally pull off the whole 'this has happened before, but poorly' bit. Like... Its literally 'Satan', the Pokemon of Anti-Matter. It gave off a much more serious vibe and.. Honestly, gave it a kinda more serious and slightly dark outlook throughout the rest of the video with some jests at times. Yeah, maybe it could of worked as well with Diagla or Palkia, but.. Giratina is the only one to make it look so dark.
And Giratina narrowing his eyes, not in an angry way.. But more of.. Mockingly 'I know' way? Perfection.
honestly this is why giratina is my favorite pokemon its just chaos inhabited in a body ooh i love chaos so much
The split jaidens is actually a reference to how she failed pretty badly to the Elite 4 her first time, but chat let her have another go because it was her birthday.
@@General_C I see. I was wondering what the hell was going on. Nightmare fuel Bertha and stuff.
I honestly see Giritina as being the embodiment of Gravity. Dialga and Palkia are Time and Space respectively, both of which are intrinsically linked (Spacetime and the theory of relativity specifically) and Giritina being Gravity makes more sense than Anti-matter, as an extremely strong force of gravity, like a Black Hole, can literally bend space and time in and around itself, while Anti-Matter doesn't have that effect (to my knowledge at least) instead completely obliterating any matter it comes into contact with. If the Distortion world was a world of Anti-Matter and Giritina was also an entity comprised of Anti-Matter the moment Giritina entered our reality or anyone entered the Distorion world, that should have started the process of obliteration until there was no more matter or anti-matter left in the area either entity existed in. However not only are we the players and Giritina able to exist in each other's respective worlds the way Giritina changes form depending on which dimension it's in, and if it's holding the Grisieous Orb or not, may in fact be a response to taking a form more suited for the respective gravity of either world. In the distortion world specifically there are multiple floating platforms that exist, some of which are either facing each other on their sides, or in the case of the waterfall basically facing one another head on, which (to me at least) suggests that each platform has their own respective gravity that's strong enough for us to be pulled toward when we jump (for lack of a better word) off of one platform and onto another which would be us leaving one platform's respective gravity "Bubble" and into the "Bubble" of another platform allowing us to stand "upright" relatively speaking. Didn't mean to go off on such a long tangent, but that's just my two cents here.

I was slightly confused about the ending, but definitely got the impression that it meant you had to take a second go at the Elite 4. I can't say I blame you or your chat at all for that, and I think it made for a REALLY cool way to work the distortion world dimension splitting into your video and I think you did an amazing job of it! I wish it had been just a little more obvious what happened, but I don't think that's a huge deal.
Massive respect for the creativity it took to take all of the time and effort that went into the play through and turn the initial negative outcome into a really unique animation. Incredibly well done!
I haven't played the game, so I was wondering if that's how it actually works out in canon. The split possibilities.
@@totallynameless8861 I mean theoretically every game over you get in any game could count as a split in the timeline where the hero loses and does not get their epic ending.
oooh if that's what happened, the ending makes a lot more sense to me now. I was equally confused and wondered if she's so torn because she threw the master ball at Giratina and it didn't feel earned. Or if she's sad that she couldn't bring all the pokemon because they died early. But your explanation makes a lot more sense! Would've loved a bit more clarification in the video tbh

hahahaahahahahaahahaaaahaha
I find it interesting she gives you a Togepi egg and then has a Togekiss on her team later. Maybe she's trying to hint that Togekiss is a pretty good Pokemon and is hoping it'll give you a fighting chance?
Cynthia be like: I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD NOW IMMA TAKE YOU OUT
edit:jeez 16 likes?! thats insane! i barely even get 1 like!
Ironic
Maybe Cynthia really hated that togepi
90% of this poor woman's pokemon deaths are from crits
play around the crit :D
True,also nice puro pfp
@@Tierneil
You kind of can't play around crits in Nuzlockes because depending on the version, there's no guarantee that you'll ever obtain a pokemon who is able to learn Safeguard, has the Shell Armor or Battle Armor ability, and no items exist to prevent critical hits (conversely, there are items to increase crit chances instead).
Crits also are the thing that keep Nuzlockes challenging because a pro player would otherwise just strategize and play around everything with little to no real risk.
Actually %99.9999999
@@joshuakim5240 You play around crit threat and if your pokemon is able to survive. There are avoidable crit deaths. But yes, there are some that aren't , and thats part of the challenge
you can't animate shynx being a loving potential friend and you just walking away from it like that. It makes you a monster!!!
So did you win?
Jaiden: Well yes, but actually no.

yesn't

I`m still not sure what happened? Did she restart her console after a first try that did not happen?

“If you still don’t understand, that’s not my problem.”
-teachers when they ask if people have any questions
thank you, this is the exact reason why I failed chemistry in the 9th grade
It’s so true
Reason I failed in math
My Math teacher in highschool actually told me these exact words... That might be why I flunked it.
Are good teachers that rare? Seems like the thing I was lucky with was my education
I don't know anything about this channel, this just showed up as an autoplay. I have to say though, holy shit the level of effort put into this made me stop what I was doing and watch the entire thing after the 1st 30 seconds. I haven't seen any other videos on your channel yet but sub earned. Seriously this was incredible.
kinda wild to hear of someone who doesn't know of jaiden ngl but you should definitely check out her other stuff, she puts an insane amount of effort into every video ! and they're hella binge worthy
Welcome to the channel. Your gonna have a good time.
I envy you cause you get to watch all her videos for the first time as i already watched all of them
Watch all vids or you will be crit

21:55 I’m not crying, You are. Damn, This was beautiful storytelling.
Jaiden could literally make an animated series and we'd all die for it
id commit genocide for it
True I watched her play the pokemon ranger and she SLUNG a Ratata
I will argue that
I’d love that but that may interrupt Jaiden’s schedule which may give her stress.
I would literally be all for that!!
