I love how every content creator goes through the same arc on Arven. "ok whatever this guys kind of a dickwad" -> "who tf cares about this sandwich herb bullshit" -> "aww he's trying to help his dog. thats...kind of sweet, actually" -> "haha he has daddy issues lol traumadumping" -> "holy shit he REALLY has issues" -> "WHY DID THIS GAME GO SO *HARD* ON HIM GOD DAMN"

When Jaiden first met Miraidon and was like "This guy runs on sandwiches", she didn't know how right she was

Between jaiden's understanding of the team star plot, and alpha's umderstanding of nemona's plot, they form one full brain cell

I love the different reactions Jaiden and Alpharad had to the end of the team star storyline. On the one hand, Jaiden blames the school system. On the other hand, Alpha wants Team Star in prison.

The fact that Jaiden was practically gawking over the history teachers beauty and then refusing to go to history class is funny.

“The iPhone wants a sandwich” reminds me of that one Nintendo instruction that says “Your Wii is not thirsty, it does not want orange juice.”

damn, they really pulled a "both my dads are the same dad, and they're both leaving" on arven with this one

Finally a playthrough with someone that doesnt constantly complain about the graphics

“I’m never against the downfall of children, to be honest.” - Jaiden

Arven not only lost his dad twice. He lost both parents twice. He got orphaned to completion two times and was raised by a dog mob boss.

Anyone else notice that it takes one sandwich from Mom to heal the legendary to full power, but 5 sandwiches filled with magic power to heal it after? Just bring the thing to your mom's house and have a full power legendary. Plus, it probably would have healed the dog to.

Arven and Turo/Saada is the hardest Pokemon has gone since the BW games. Both with Bianca and her dad and N and the whole Plasma story. Just wish they had spent a year or two more on polishing the game. TotK got polished and postponed a bunch and that was the most flawless game I've seen in ages.

Love how Jaiden understood the team star plot *much* better than Jacob just by simply reading some of the dialogue

The most memorable quote ever 13:50 “I’m sick of all these memories of my Childhood and my mother and my father! Go Squirrel!”

If this game had another year of dev time, it would’ve be praised as the “Breath of the Wild” of Pokémon. Thankfully it seems that Gamefreak has finally learned their lesson and is going to extend their development cycles

Jaiden playing Pokemon is one of my favorite things. The way she loves every little guy for better or worse and just enjoys the game is really nice. She's so genuine : like you know she'd be doing the exact same thing on release day for 4 or 40k people.

I love how Jaiden misread Iron Moth as Ironmouse as she sent out a pink gremlin against it.

It’s still hilarious that jaiden didn’t realize nemona was holding back so that the protagonist would actually have fun being a Pokémon trainer.

1:28:46 Funfact In french nemona run after them screaming "WAIT FOR ME MY DARLINGS" she was CLEARLY into the fights, proper to her character, whereas in english it sounds more like she's responsible (even if like penny say, she clearly enjoy it)

Scarlet and violet are simultaneously the most glitchy Pokémon games I’ve ever played well easily being one of the most enjoyable. It’s weird it’s a hot mess but it’s a fun mess

Jaiden getting flustered over the history teacher who continues to have "dom vibes" whenever you speak to her was an absolute mood that I also felt when playing

It's weird seeing an amazingly edited, gaming video from Jaiden, usually it's either just cut or animations too, this is cool!

When Clive was introduced I straight up thought the director was having a mid life crisis 🤣 also alpharad can learn teleport confirmed

Definitely one of the better pokemon stories in a LONG time. Like it actually felt like the devs hired an actual team of writers who like to write, because we finally have decently fleshed-out characters and storylines that were thought out properly with an actual arc having been completed each time. Pokemon game stories always kinda just felt like the story decisions were just decided on by whoever was in house for a typical journey beat story. I was fully expecting to turn my brain off to the story but I was genuinely surprised at myself for being like "damn, whats happening next"

Jaiden having a better understanding of the team star plot than Jacob (because she can read and he can't) but at the cost of her having no understanding of Nemona during the victory road plot.

Gotta love how Arven’s whole world was shattered finding out his dad is dead and now the robot one goes out to get milk, and then Nemona kinda just goes “ok cool, what’s next?”

God….I never realized how sad Arven’s life was, lost his dad in Violet and his mom in Scarlet, and his dog (almost) in BOTH 😭

everyone so excited about the amount of customization options, meanwhile they still don’t have my *natural hair color* as an option,,, cries in ginger

The fact this is a beautifully edited, nearly 2 HOUR LONG VIDEO seriously impresses me. Like holy hell man

Casual Pokémon fan who hasn’t played Scarlet/Violet (own it but getting around to it). Also never watched Jaiden before. Realised within seconds that yes - this was indeed a 2hr video that is EDITED. Wanted to express my appreciation for whoever went to the trouble to edit such a long-form let’s play and did such a nice job. Also got to really get the vibe for Violet’s introduction and really enjoying it so far. Also Jaiden is fun, good banter the entire way so far. Debating whether to keep watching or whether to save this experience for myself when I finally play it. Either way - stay awesome Jaiden. Glad I bumped into your video 😊

49:09 funny fact , here in Spain We have some real birds that make that annoying sound

Funny thing. If you go to Penny's room. Her pokemon are just chilling all over the place. She also has boxes of pokemon food. Considering the fact that almost her entire team has Baby-Doll Eyes in their moveset, you realize they actually aren't battle-trained! They're her pets!

i love how progressively dark the game gets- specifically Arvens story. like the dude is literally traumatized because his father died and he didn't know for like 10 years, and when he found out that the AI wasn't his actual dad he really said "alright i'm gonna leave you again bud"

Love how jaiden actually made the player character resemble the mother character without intending to.

I think Scarlet and Violet are the best Pokemon games on Switch, both in mechanics and graphics, but the occasional fps drops do get annoying. Never unplayable, but it can get slow sometimes.

the fact that Jaiden took a good long look at Iron Jugulis and still thought it was a normal Hydreigon is really funny. They really did just say "make it metal" and call it a day.

I like how Jaiden put it. “You don’t buy a Pokémon game because it looks good, you buy it because it’s a Pokémon game”

Jaiden had a lot of accidental foreshadowing in her commentary, that's so funny to me

As amazing as it was to go through the story, seeing it through a new person's eyes and going through it again was a real treat.

“Some people are ready for therapy and some people are not, I’m just weaning out the weak ones.” My favorite quote from the video

I cant believe no one gave Arven a hug after he lost both his parents and almost his pet dog.

I can't wait to see Jaiden try a nuzlock for Scarlett and violet

In all honesty I’ve had such a hard time getting into Pokémon Violet because of its open world but watching this makes me want to give the game another try

We all made fun of Arven in the beginning. Then we saw how sad his story truly was

Jaiden is sooooooooo pretty ! i love her hair and the hatsune miku shirt ! its so cute ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

FUECOCO IS MY BEST BOI!!!!!XD i couldn't think of a cool name so he eventually just became Best Boi, the Reliable Partner XD

1:09:54 About Larry's jobs- it's implied he has 3. His gym leader job, e4 job, and a normal office worker job. My man can't catch a break :')

Quaquaval (quakly final evolution) is a brazillian pokemon,because he dances Samba and fights Capoeira

1:33:33 No, Jaiden. But yes if you meant humans… I think… But in Kanto, Blue’s Raticate died after when he was too late to reach the Pokémon Center… R.I.P’s in the chat

People had said most of what I would've said about the game in the comments, so I'll go with a nice detail for those of us that live in Spain. Have you seen those mail boxes in the game? The yellow cilinders that are in some cities in Violet? They are EXACTLY the same as those in Spain. They didn't need to do that, if they weren't we wouldn't have missed them, but they added them. And all people I know have reacted the same, with glee, watching that little detail that we didn't expect to find. By the way, there are a lot of pokemon that are designed from spanish things. To give a few examples: - The last evolution of Quaxly? A carnaval dancer from the Canarian Islands. - Greavard and Houndstone? They reference the Santa Compaña, a myth from Galicia. - Smoliv and Lechonk are easy, the olives and iberic pigs. - Charcadet and its evolutions? I'm pretty sure they are a reference to El Cid Campeador, specially Ceruledge (the Violet evolution), whose myth says that he had two swords whose names are related to fire, and he won his last battle against the moors when he was already dead, as they put him in his horse and the sole sight of him (well, his corpse, but the moors didn't know it in the myth) made them surrender - And of course, Miraidon, who is based on the Cuelebre, a spanish myth (basically a big lizard related to thunderbolts that protected treasures, an electric dragon, if you will). Also bikes. In Spain there is a big culture around bikes, and we've had big world champions in bike races through history (Angel Nieto, Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo... some of the best bike pilots in history, alongside people like Doohan or Rossi), and several active circuits (Spain is the only country with FOUR motoGP races, the other 15 are distributed through 15 countries) I did miss a new horse pokemon, spanish horses ARE famous, after all, so a new one or a regional variant would had been nice, and maybe something related to swords (Toledo's swords are famed to be among the best made swords in history), like a regional Aegislash, although to be fair, the new pseudo is somewhat related to swords, so, to be fair, I can't complain too much, but I would have loved a regional Aegislash xD

“Bro, you’re speaking in shapes!” is such a good line, dude.

This got me laughing with several moments oml! I Rufflet is an example like that came out of nowhere and that dang Magikarp falling from the sky lol

Fun fact, first Smoliv I found was a shiny and I was very confused before noticing the sparkles

Something that's often overlooked (as it shows for only a frame or two) is during the final Turo battle, when the text is changing, the text "AI Turo has no intention of fighting any more!". Really sad that this is truly against his will, and shows that this game truly needed more time in the oven to give developers everything they wanted to do.

The amount of times Gavalain tanked a hit that Jaiden thought was going to kill him is a real tribute to how chonky the Fuecoco line is. Love that we finally have a defensive-oriented starter again.

20:27 that's known as cute aggression. its the only thing I really remember from studying psychology

I loved this game. It was the first pokemon game that I have actually finished in a long time. Purely due to the fact that I could do everything in whatever order I wanted

holy crap the editors went all out. gods 2 hours. i'm amazed at their dedication. i see why it took awhile to get these out. it's not just vods. it's straight up an edited video. ❤❤

The storylines here were oddly well written. All three treasures had such great arcs. The way they all ended were all so satisfying.

someone give arven a freaking hug

Therapist: What's your problem? Arven: My dad was a robot and died twice

1:10:31 the sound of jaiden taking a screenshot of Larry giving her the side eye is literally such a mood

“Leon had a great team. He was… definitely the hardest champion.” *[distant piano music]*

Fully convinced that Glimmora was meant to be the 1st pokemon Geeta sent out, and Kingambit was supposed to be the ace

Me avoiding this video thinking it just a stream VOD finally put it on to go to sleep only to find out its a god damn 2 hour edited video. Why must you bless us like this Jaiden? we dont deserve it.

the price of jaiden understanding the team star story was having absolutely no comprehension of nemona's whole deal

I was fully expecting just a raw VOD but the amount and quality of edits in a whole 2 hour video is really impressive

Spider-man: "I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-man!" Jaiden: "I'm you friendly neighborhood youtuber?"

Alpharad *generally negative and hates every part of the team star storyline* Jaiden “Ohhh different eye shapes!”

"Can I run faster? I'd like a better way of transportating." Her future bike: *roars*

As someone who watched many, many trailer reactions and breakdowns and other videos in the lead-up, it's always fascinating to me to watch these playthroughs by creators who avoided the trailers.

I love how every person with long hair uses the long bob bc it’s the only really good option

My absolute FAVORITE Violet Pokémon was Ceruledge.

Arven: I just experienced one of the most traumatizing experiences I think I ever will in my life. Nemona: Yeah kinda sucks, but you wanna battle?

I just love that end scene. Everyone is like whooo lets get Snacks and habe an adventure while arven is there grieving losing both of His dads 🤣

0:43 jaiden gets alexandrias genisis (not clickbait) (real!)

It's exciting seeing Jaiden play an open world pokemon game! Hope she checks out Legends Arceus too since it's one of my favorites :D

I love the complete opposite responses to the team star climax with Jaiden and Alpharad

Bro, how am I already getting nostalgic towards Scarlet and Violet? 💀💀💀 *They’ve been out for like only 3 months.*

58:23 For a second I actually thought that he had an eevee on his back 😂

I think this game had the best pokemon story since B&W. And even then the freedom this game gives and how it all comes tg at the end, I find it hard to say that this is one of the best pokemon stories out there. Forgetting graphics and any other issues it had, the story overall was so captivating, when you finish it, it truly leaves an impact on you and a sense of true accomplishment. S&V outdid itself in that aspect imo.

Jaiden with her unhinged commentary is just pure gold. Love to see more of this

Why do I feel like this is gonna turn into “jaiden being sarcastic for 2 hours straight”

Random kid: I have daddy issues! Arven who lost both parents: ...Good for you.

1:10:20 I just saw the name of you're pokemon you used here I'm from the Nederlands and haha I really that for a moment you named you're pokemon Father (father in the nederlands is Vader) 🤣☺love you're vids btw

I like that she actually READS THE DIALOGUE! Hope you enjoyed the game!

The editing on this two-hour video is insane, especially given the length. Hope you have fun in Paldea, Jaiden!

Heeey I knew you’d get the best version jaiden (gee is it obvious which one I picked well both legendaries had wheels but only one actually used them and the future paradox Pokémon are SO unbelievably cool looking especially iron valiant who’s literally a robotic fusion between Gardevoir and gallade)

Something about Jaiden sending her Pokémon out and talking to them like they’re her actual children puts my faith back in humanity 😂

Jaiden sounded so genuinely happy when she got fuecoco

Despite the bugs and glitches this game's story was one of the best in the main games we've had in a long time

Everyone keeps talking about how the editors edited a 2-hour video… remember: Jaiden played this for 3 days, at LEAST 8-hour days… so this is at LEAST 27 HOURS, edited down to 2!!! Freakin’ AMAZING, editing team!!

😂this video is an acid, I’m killing my self laughing

I was excited seeing this with my favourite Pokémon game being violet

The final fight gets me. Like its all so eerie and uncomfotable. "AI Turo has no intention of fighting any more!//You are challenged by the Paradise Protection Protocol" is the spooky cherry on top, like damn pokemon.

24:59 "I met so many pretty women. I got bullied by one of them...Many would call that a win." -Jaiden 2023 Wise words from Jaiden 😂😂 I bit sad that some footage (even it is majority of the 3 storylines) I still enjoyed it. Especially this edit gives a more full detail of the story. Nice play through!

Aw I was wondering how they compressed it down to 2 hours, sad that a lot of footage was lost, I wanted to see her reaction to Larry :(

“I have never seen a Pokémon trainer walk the premier balls” A second later: “ BALLER” 😂

Ooh, just the PERFECT length to last to the Nintendo Direct.

Geeta's team is actually pretty solid, but she sends them out in... sub-optimal order.
