It was her birthday when she got schooled by the Elite Four, too (you can see exactly who died to what in the weird flashback images), which is why chat let her get a redo. I love the lore she put into it, though.

“They’re named after planets” …I think I need to sit down after hearing he just came to that revelation

I mean animated nuzlockes have become a whole genre on YT because of Jaiden

Regarding the ending: As chat explained, she lost the first run to the E4, but it's a bit more than just that. I think if she had just lost fairly, she probably would have animated a dramatic battle resulting in a close loss. But the first run opened with pretty much back-to-back crit one-shots on key members that even the best of players couldn't have anticipated or mitigated, eventually leaving her with only Torterra, Magnezone, and Scizor going into Flint, all 3 of whom were weak to fire. The RNG of those first two fights was like getting hit by lightning, getting taken to the ER, then getting hit by a second bolt of lightning as you're leaving the hospital.

Koe makes fun of people for mentioning EVs, but reminder that EVs have saved Jaiden twice in these nuzlockes. First her farming Marils with ZipZapZop caused ZipZapZop to survive at 2 HP because of the HP EVs, and then Flakes farming Ponyta allowed him to out speed a Garchomp of a higher level. Like, it's one thing to over optimise in a normal single player run, but people discount EVs can save you in a nuzlocke.

The thing is RNG screwed her over so hard and so fast not even a pro player could've saved that run, and it was her birthday as well

15:14 if i remember correctly during the live stream jaiden gave chat a choice to choose which pokemon we wanted but i dont think anyone understood that she meant to sack that pokemon, so blame chat for that death...

Jaiden Animation is one of the good reasons for KZfaq Reactions to exist, outside of pop culture and other contents. I hope you react to the Soul Link one as well, it's one of my favorites because it has one more person with them.

Ah...gotta love the surprise existential crisis at the end.

As someone who has been a writer of fantasy stories for the majority of my life at this point, Jaiden's ability to write that unexpected turn into her storyline is the kind of thing to which authors should aspire. Even when the stories are based entirely in our heads with our own characters, things that you never expected can happen, and you need to be able to adapt and roll with it to keep the story going and make sure it remains engaging. Add to that the restriction of not being the one who originally created the storyline, and it's great. :) I love the way she did this.

14:38 THIS EXACT MOMENT is why Shinx is my favorite non-legendary Pokémon. That heart-shattering moment of absolute injustice made me feel like it was my mission in life to prove that Shinx is a good Pokémon who most definitely did NOT deserve the absolute bullshit hand it got dealt. #JUSTICEFORFAILURE

"If the game bullshit the hell out of you, then you are allowed to use any bullshit to win the game" - Pokemon Challenges.

Dragonbretheren already explained the majority of why Chat allowed Jaiden to reattempt the Elite 4 (A condition some Nuzlockers call Crit Clause, if I recall correctly - Aka when the RNG is past the point of unfair so you attempt again just to see if what you had set up was POSSIBLE) But if I recall correctly, it was also her Birthday during that stream, so the Chat considered the "Extra Life" as a BDay Present

Squoop: *Dies* Jaiden: *BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!*

"I mean this is a pretty good match up for Onix, right?" Match up doesn't mean much with 8lvl disadventage against a tank

When Koe splits himself in 2 and he loses both Nuzlockes. :(

Props to chat to explaining the ending to him. Nice to get to see peoples reaction to knowing what the ending was all about

I feel like the crit rate in platinum is the reason why they made Torterra's hidden ability "shell armor"

Theoretically, her nuzlocke videos really go further to embrace the attachment rule of Nuzlockes. Going that extra bit further to make sure that she AND the viewers of the livestream and the videos are really attached to them.

Of the 3 of her nuzlock vids, this is my favorite one. The ending sequence…gave me chills lol.

I love when Koe noticed the reference in the title of the game like "....galatactic....jupiter?...neptune? they are named after planets :o " and the chats spamming "BRUH!" sound xD. I really love that interaction. I love you Koe, i don't pass often at the stream but when i arrive always make me laugh.

The OG platinum Cynthia was the toughest Pokemon champion fight I've ever faced. Her Pokemon were incredibly high level and had good IVs and EVs. I remember losing to her again and again on my first play through and had to go back and grind levels each time. But her battle music was good it made the fight even better of an experience and it felt extremely rewarding to finally beat her after countless attempts.

This video gets a like just for the first 1.5 minutes of it. The fact you told me that you can turn off autoplaying videos while browsing is HUGE. That crap always ticked me off and I thought there was nothing I could do about it. Thank you!! Edit: Now if only there was a way to mass hide all videos on subscription feed. I will literally NOT subscribe to someone for the simple fact that if I do my Subscription feed will suddenly have months and months and months of their videos that I have to manually hide. When I subscribe, I know how to get their old videos, I don't want to see the old videos when I subscribe...

I actually cried when I realized the context of the ending when I first watched Jaiden's playthrough.

ah yes, a fellow youtube guy who despises autoplay and history's rigged results for watching the first few seconds to say you made to the end, we need more people like you

Koe, I know your brain is set for fighting games, but I'm still baffled how you could miss the naming scheme.

Sometimes you need to push the Asa- CoCo deeper, so deep that it reaches your brain. To give your brain the juice you know. The CoCo juice.

Shame Koe edit skip Jaiden getting EVs grinding for Garchomp showing how she turned the table with speed+ thus teaching you rare cadies would have made this a lost in the end if she did use them.

Fun fact the glitch scenes are actually a referance to her first try at the elite 4 where she failed

19:53 Yessss! I'm such a nerd! 25:33 THE EVs MATTER!

Your chat is wonderful for keeping the secret ♡ well done to them. I absolutely LOVE watching reactions to the glitches

27:13 Kobo basically said "NOT SHOOT UP, IT'S SHUT" Since they talking about Bacot, an Indonesian word for Shut Up. But Sana teased Kobo with wrong spelling [ba-chot] to [ba-cod]

Should you decide to watch Jaidens Soullink (which I highly recommend), I recommend watching Alpharads first two Nuzlocks. Just so you get an idea of who her partner is. :p

Youre so right that the JaidenAnimations fandom will watch anything where people are appreciating her work as much as we do! Love Jaiden reactions

I can't remember how many times I watched this, I cry every time at the ending

"theyre named after planets" please dear god the disappointment I feel

Shinx' evolution is nice but 'early on' - keep in mind the first gym is the Rock gym where most of them are part-ground, so electric types don't play a big role until a bit later.

Loved your rant on the EV nurds lol

The amount of crits in this run is unholy ngl, Giratina probably was out for blood

Koe, I’m loving these titles

I love that cut. "Egg? Uh y-yeah... and then he died".

Yes!! Waited for this.

First time watching loved the vid and lowkey want your KH hat

Sure Gyarados is a Physical attacker mainly but if you train it right, it can be a Special Attacker. It'd probably surprise people if you use it that way than what they're expecting

It's cool that I finally have an awesome character to share my name, besides that doll abomination from Rugrats.

I lost it when Kobo started shrieking, that came out of nowhere 😂😂😂

Finally someone who noticed Quagsire in the one shot in the Gym was not affected but the Electric attack. SOOOO many people who reacted to Jaiden's video keep saying" Uh Quagsire is immune to electric". Yeah she knows that. That's why Quagsire is unfazed in that one shot. You my sir have my respect for noticing.

Jaiden's fans have managed to change google search because it did her a wrong. Never underestimate the power Jaiden holds. Edit: she lost in the elite 4, but it was her birthday, she asked if she could re-do the elite 4 because it just trolled her with massive crits. we kinda ganged up on her and had her re-do the 4 because we ALL agreed it was BS! Love how she animated the loss in her story.

"Autoplay is a bitch, dude" Then turn it off! lol

6:30- That's like how I never realized for the longest time that the professors are all named after plant life.

What I expected Joe's chat to spam: "Jaiden lost and did not follow nuzlocke rules!" What they actually spammed: "THE EVs, KOE!!!"

23:15 Man, I love that emote.

Yeah Platinum is pretty hard mostly because the enemy pokemon are *really* prone to critting you out of goddamned nowhere.

This was a good reaction.

that was.... emotional

I can see why Koe lost those Nuzlocke runs. "Who cares about EV's?!" Uh, the Nuzlocke run does. I don't even play Pokemon and only watch playthroughs of it, and I know that EV's matter.

This is a better implementation of the Multi-Verse in storytelling plot than Dr. Strange 2

He should watch the Blastoise recovery video by Nick Robinson. Most intense video I've seen.

I really want to see you react to her two player soul link nuzlocke now

I didn't even know about the crap EV'S I just never use Rare Candies I sell them been doing it since Red and Blue, it's just so satisfying to see every Pokemon in the dex at Level 100 and you know you did that yourself.

I did my first Nuzlocke in a blind black/white run/ I lost after 8 badges which felt GOOD but sad

This was uploaded when I was watching her Soul Link video lol

I'm so getting brilliant diamond for sure and my boi piplup as my starter and hope to catch a eastern shellos to my team

Second, and no one would care🤣🤣🤣 But on a seirse note, Jaden animation is always great

Him: 😳 omg they are named after planets! Me: yeah because Jupiter is a real common name! 🤦

1:23 "I actually turned that off" Wait wait wait WAITWAITWAITHOW 8:16 Bronzor has "Iron Wall" Defense, as in it's just got very high defense, it was an analogy And if you don't know what an ability does you can look it up. It's not difficult. I know most Pokemon for their stats, typing, ability, and movepool (This one is difficult, but still plausible even with nerfs sometimes. I can tell you that Lucario, for example, has a higher rate of good Special attacks but at the same time quite a few good physical attacks in what it can learn, and it either has Inner Focus; No Flinches, or Steadfast; Flinches boost speed. Might be wrong about Inner Focus. I do know, however, that it has nearly equal attacking stats though Special Attack is higher, and that it is Fighting Steel, unlike Riolu who is simply Fighting.) 21:27 Yes...? Don't tell me you don't know what "physical Hyper Beam" is.

So fun fact Wooper is called Wooper because it's an axolotl and the Japanese word for axolotl is *wooper-looper.*

back when I first watched Jaiden's Platinum Nuzlocke, I paused the vid at the split reality part and tried to remember "was this in the game"??? cause my Pokemon Plat cartridge was untouched for about 10 years now, my DS is gone now so I dunno

Oooooh, Black/White 2. That's a tough one to Nuzlocke. One Black 2 Nuzlocke I did still has my... second most devastating loss in all the runs I've done. I understand losing that game. Feel free to try again, though, it's definitely fun to do. I'd recommend Ruby/Sapphire or the remakes if you're doing a first one, those are more manageable.

20:54 No, it’s not part of the game. Jaiden is writing a narrative based the events of her stream.

6:30 Definitive evidence Koe is a dingus.

To be fair to Jaiden, her first elite 4 run (even though she lost) was literally straight up BS. A normal lose would have been fine and probably animated, but it was like the Poke-gods decided to go "No," and proceeded to obliterate her team in a way that just wasn't fair.

Yeah, that was a very unlucky crit on Big Boy. Iron Defense means double defense, Heatproof means Fire isn't super effective... but the double defense was bypassed by the crit.

jaiden makes great content

Tsundere Koe doesn't exist, Tsundere Koe can't hurt you. Tsundere Koe: "Autoplay is a bitch dude, I didn't watch that. No, sir."

yeah~ I'm seen Jaiden's other videos and i don't know if it was just bad luck or just the game itself but she either hits with a lot of crits or gets hit by alot of crits. it's wild how many Pokemon died in this one playthrough and I'm still wondering what happned.

Pokemon Comp players, "Comp is where you test your true skills" Me: "Random Crits still exist so no, not really" PCP, " You just have to play around them, calculate the damage output" Me: " What's the point of all the stuff that gives better crit chance like Scope Lens, Focus Energy, and Super Luck if RNG is still gonna be a thing and screw you over? Also it bypasses your defenses that you took turns setting up or lowering the opponent's attack power. Also the stupid low and high ratio of damage output of a random factor .85% to 1.00%" PCP, " All strategy methods" Me: " Bull shit when I see Earthquake with a 100 Power I expect 100 not 90 to 120." This is why I don't bother with Comp, screw RNG in general

19:50 Experience nuzlockers usually try to hold off on training Pokemon until they need a certain amount of 'effort values' or ev to defeat a certain trainer with a certain Pokemon. I'm sure someone else can give you more info if needed I've never done a nuzlocke.

11:16 being an evil maniac must have really taken it's toll on cyrus the dude is only 27 and already has wrinkles

"ultra diamond and ultra pearl" 0-0 wha- so its brilliant sun and shining moon now?

If you like Jaiden's I'd check out Moxie2D. He does an artlock - a nuzlocke where he draws what he catches and how they die. Jaiden raided him at one point and it was great.

Fire blast is the reason I always name my shiny Gyarados Tanjiro XD

28:35 I got a kick out of seeing the chat That said, I agree with RairaiRaikiri

waiting for the soul link reaction

No one would know, no one would care. So I am gonna eat some donuts.

back in the day I played pokemon red and later on crystal.. watching ppl playing these games and having so much fun...it makes me kinda wanna go back e play all pokemons until today... is it possible to play everything with emulators?

-Koe just realizing that the Team Galactic members are named after Celestial Bodies... yaaa! pero como tanto? 🤣 -& that ending is why Nuzlocke rules hae the clauses of "name your pokemon" & "write down your journey", they're storytelling challenges, if you wanted Hardcore Dificult Pokemon gameplay you would be playing Shin Megami Tensei instead

The Rare Candy spam isn't available on the Consoles so yeah EV Training is the key... But if it's an Emulator, then Rare Candy spam away...

i like that hat

Really pre-watched it for better reactions 😂

Nice thumbnail lol

Imagine Platinum with the BD/SP items on Cynthia's Mons 😳

Did Koe really say kill the legendary? Does he not know how nuzlocke works?

Unless you're playing a difficult rom hack, like a Kaizo, then EVs basically never matter.

She's joined Geeks+ and has a V-tuber model. It wouldn't be off brand to keep an eye on her.

That last bit wasn't part of the game she lost the nuzlock and for the sake of the video finished the game, that's why their was two of her.

Nice hat.

Played and beat every pokemon game with one pokemon (the starter)people who lose nuzlockes will always confuse me as too how.

She had shit luck with the crits and lost on her bday. Chat let her retry

Tbh I have watched her video than many others who reacted to it.
