For everyone who's expressed interest in having the animation as a wallpaper- I've added a link in the description where you can access the mp4 loops to use in Wallpaper Engine or similar software, or some of the individual frames (because all 300+ frames takes up a sizable amount of storage🥲) Have fun with it! I appreciate every comment and all the support! :)

100/10 Perfect music to dissociate to and reflect on what went wrong with your world-domination schemes 👍

Currently trapped in the distortion world with only a pair of earbuds. Thank you.

banished villains is something i just realized is really special. knowing they're still out there

That moment when Cyrus laments that he didn't bring any swim trunks.

The Giratina swooping around in the background every now and then is the cherry on top! Lovely artwork, animations and playlist!

Cyrus is one of my favorite characters, and I can just feel him sitting in the Distortion World. I always have wanted to live in the Distortion World

Distortion World is definitely one of the greatest soundtracks and I like the atmosphere of it the dread of being alone in a voidless dimension with Giratina the Distortion World is a Liminal Space of its it's own especially since its familiar considering I started with Pokemon Platinum back then.

I never thought I’d be so amazed by a playlist video but here we are. I’m so used to seeing people use fitting but stolen/completely uncredited artwork for these things, so finding out that you yourself actually drew this was such a shock. It’s extremely atmospheric, and the animations fit so well! On top of that, the playlist also fits together really well; there’s some really good transitions here! Great work!

Master Cyrus gives the Pokemon franchise kind of a dark vibe for some reason. Love the art!

I always found Cyrus's story in DPP tragic. He was never able to find happiness and believe that there couldn't be any in this world, so he sought to find ways to other worlds which he could. In the end that darkness which he always lived with swallowed him whole. I may be getting things wrong about his story in DPP but I still think he's one of the best villains in the series.

Cyrus is not dead. He is living in the distortion world. Living his dream.

I think it's so cool how you can see Cyrus breathing... don't know if that makes me a creep or not. Probably does, I just thought it was a nice little detail.

Cyrus just sitting there is so disturbing to me. Yes, he is right where he wants to be but like…. Hell… you are in hell sir. You are in a liminal space, this is a bridge to where you should be, why are you just… sitting there.

This playlist just reinforces how good X/Y could have been if it had had enough dev time. The whole soundtrack is a banger and it set the gold standard for 3D mainline Pokemon. I can honestly say that if Pokemon Z had come to be, it would probably be one of the best games in the series

i love how you can see giratina flying around

The art is amazing and feels so alive! Seeing Cyrus and Giratina in motion in the Distortion World combined with the truly awesome selection of music tracks makes me feel really engaged with what you made here. Thanks for that!

stumbled across this just now looking for some good study music and i LOVE the art!! i'm a huge cyrus fan and i adore the mood that comes across w/ this

not the PMD music making me cry :’) there’s so many hidden gems in pokémon’s osts, it’s nice to hear so many of them together in one video. plus each song flows into the next perfectly. i absolutely love this playlist ^-^

This is a happy ending until u realize Cyrus doesnt have any food and I doubt that upside down flowing water is drinkable.

23:58 Nostalgic...

Alternate title: Music to listen to while spending eternal damnation in the distortion world

Hearing Anistar city for the first time in years revitalized a part of me I never knew I had and blew me with a wave of nostalgia that was so beautiful I shed a tear

so insane. brings back all the memories exploring the mysterious areas of the world of pokemon, care free.

D/P/Pl had the most mystical aspect in a Pokemon game paired with amazing music!

Holy sh*t this is the best Pokémon playlist I’ve ever seen, it’s got all my favorites for a pensive or relaxed mood, absolutely adoring this video right now. Amazing animation loop too, well done.

"I got my own universe but at what cost?"

Pokemon mystery dungeon back then was a masterpiece explorers of sky ost was just perfect!!

One of the best Pokémon Soundtrack compilation on yt, I was searching for something like this.

Oh heck, your art is awesome! ^^ I just realised you drew this, if I understand correctly, this looks awesome and the compilation is amazing, too, thanks for this! ^^

God hidden highland is so good. What a great game

God, I wish I could play through the distortion world. Like, I don’t care about actually playing the entirety of Platinum; The new stuff doesn’t excite me all that much. I just- wanted to see what the distortion world was like. Pokémon DPP are my all time favourite Pokémon games as of now so I feel cheated that I couldn’t experience the full vibes of that gen and, naturally, when you add a new element to the friggen ending of the main story of the game, it comes off as an important retcon. I mean, whether it adds anything or not. I’ve never seen proper gameplay from the climax of Platinum. I still love Diamond, but goddamnit.

Wow, I never expected someone to take the time to make a playlist like this... thank you so much!! And you include songs from MD EoS!!! What a nice surprise!!

gen 4 was hella scary back then

this is really relaxing or just to be by yourself with your own thoughts, I love your art btw! :)

The distortion world music has always been my favorite one!

I named myself after Cyrus in his french version : Helio. Seeing that picture fills my heart with joy, thank you for this pretty artwork and playlist ! ♥

i love all the added mystery dungeon explorers songs

Chill beats to end this universe and create one in your own image to

Yep that's a lot of Explorers of Sky. As expected, that game has some fantastic atmospheric music.

beautiful playlist and it was such a pleasure to find out that you created the background! i can tell you were passionate about this 🙂

This image (semi-animation) has some damn nice composition, colors and perspective. Amazing work!

perfect halloween music

I love these kinds of Pokémon music, turn back cave and old chateau theme reminds me of an old horror movie that would be in black and white

Turnback cave always creeps me out so much

this is oddly calming it's helping me do work for the most part

Noice love your Tumblr btw

This is the perfect playlist, most of these are my fav ones. So much emotion and concepts in every song

Woah, I really like the animated backgound. It fits the music really well ^^

it would be cool to see another one which had the ruins of alph theme, or sinjoh ruins! this is really great too, thank you :D

The hall of origin ost always creeps me out🫣

Ok apparently I need to play Explorers of Sky now…

love how a lot of these are from DP XD

Finally some praises to PMDEoS Ost, that game is sooo underrated!

Wait If the distortion world has no rules of time or space Would that mean Cyrus will be there for an eternity?

Amazing. I'd recommend adding Team Plasma's overworld music from BW but overall solid playlist.

cyrus be vibing

Such an incredible mix 🔥

Damn ! the song is incredible, and the Artwork is just insane

Damn I just got hit by a fat wave of nostalgia. Especially platinum and bw. The two that that stick out to me the most are the dragonspiral tower theme from unova and the night Pokémon league theme from Sinnoh. I remember going to the Pokemon league and just leaving my ds on so I could listen to that song and same for the dragonspiral tower. Also thanks for reminding me of how amazing the mystery dungeon soundtrack is!

thanks so much for this hah! been looking for appropriate music to listen to while reading pokéspe and was struggling to find the right music for the more mysterious type scenes - great playlist :) edit: also i checked out your animations and they’re v cool!!

Very cool concept! I LOVE IT :D

platinum has by far the best ost in Pokémon history

You absolutely started this video correctly Distortion world theme is awesome

Great to sleep to!

Instant fav, I love this so much!

Love it, my favorite mix! :D

bro too good playlist ty

i fucking love cyrus bro. He literally is just hating and living it up in the distorion world

I know this compilation is a year old, but the Area Zero theme from Scarlet and Violet would work perfectly here as well!

Po Town give me a lot of goosebumps 😈😈👽👽

This is some great artwork!

That Giratina at the end

3:17 this music scare the shit out of me as a child xD

13:51 Magic

Pokémon carried my life

I love june BIRD i come here 🥺 every morning day afternoon when i feel antalgic

Thanks you for this beautiful mix

Very nice

Yall know I been in the dragonspiral for hours as a kid looking for mysteries bro

Always wondered what happened to Cyrus. Did he just live in the Distortion World indefinitely?

Cyrus' fate will always be the most poetic irony. Enjoy your very own universe without emotion or turmoil. Empty.

GREAT mix.

im a simple woman, i see cyrus, I click

The best music too here before bed time

Cyrus enjoying the view on Ohio

For crying out loud, the instant I upload my last assessment I'm playing Explorers of Sky. It ain't fair there are so many bangers I've never heard!

I love june Bird 24

i am amazed by your art. may i ask what tools u used for it? graphic tablet or? and how did you animate it, it looks so good!!

Now you can include area zero theme

no way is that really your art ? its insane can i download it somewhere ?

I keep forgetting he’s stuck in there. What is he gonna eat? When is he gonna come out? How much older is he gonna look compared to his actual age if he does come out?

YES

Is this on Wallpaper Engine? This art is so fire

The lost world is bautifull

Cant tell if everything is as it is or if he's a giant sitting on a minature island. Knowing the distortion world it may very well be both.

Earthbound memories

Is it just me or dose anyone also find the Distortion World theme Calmig?

For a second i thought that was Kakashi 😢😂😅

Can you put this image on wallpaper engine or something in 1440p. It's so cool!
