Jan with Jaiden: oh dear, oh dear you got this Jan with Alpharad: you fucking donkey

Jan: Has a whole argument about why Emboar is a good starter. Jaiden: “He’s ugly.”

I want a huge 3 person soul-link between Jan Jaiden and Alpharad that would go crazy

Maybe the real soulink was the friends we made along the way. In all seriousness, Jaiden and Jacob went from not knowing how to pronounce Jan's name to collaborating on long intense projects and becoming friends in the process. That's awesome.

I absolutely love that reference at the end: “Jacob is gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out” what a saga.

Jaiden just lying and telling Jacob she’s also playing Blaze Black was absolutely golden

Jan pronouncing his own name as "Jan" killed me

Jan: *Gives an entire 30-second long detailed explanation for why he likes Emboar* Jaiden: "HE'S UGLY"

The deadpan delivery of Jan mispronouncing his own name is hilarious. Probably his best video intro yet.

impressive that jaiden would nerf herself by nuzlocking with some bum

OH MY GOD, HE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! I know people say things like that all the time but this really feels like the turning point of a character in a TV show, and right at the end of the trilogy. Very good attempts, hell, I know I couldn’t have done any better 😭

"Just hit up your friend and play some Pokemon. So far I've always had a blast." My heart melted right there.

If nothing else, I love how Jan's perspective of "the right way to play a Nuzlocke is whatever makes it fun for you" continues. Based Nuzlocker.

Jan calling himself *Jan* is some top tier character development.

That "Man Jacob's gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out." Very funny. Guess that was the chicken sandwich moment.

2:58 Jan: "Pretty much Jaiden's entire team is out-sped against Cheren's Lillipup. It's panic time." In the next scene, we just see Jaiden and Jan screaming hysterically, running around in circles. Jacob also walks in, notices Jaiden and Jan flipping out randomly. Jacob raises an eyebrow, shrugs his shoulders, and starts screaming and running around in a circle too.

“Who else could screw up an encounter in a Nuzlocke they’re not even in.” Jesus christ 💀💀💀

Time for the 3-way cagelocke to mix it up 😊

Honestly, the fact they made it that far is beyond incredible. Their two different play styles, not by battle style but literally two different games, went further than most could. I give them credit and feel like with a bit of work, they could both crush this some other day if they choose to do this again

The moment I heard they named Jacob the rival I just knew that Alpharad Luck was gonna kill this run

God, introducing himself as "I'm Jan" was such a good touch

I love how Jan's video are getting funnier after he met Alpharad

33:37 I love this call back this is great, It's fun to see the three even if Jacob wasn't really here. I enjoyed it and it's a nice message that the true journey is the friends along the ride

"I get the only Pokémon whose fully evolved form's official English name contains a slur" *proceeds to not only pronounce the name incorrectly, but PRONOUNCES THE SLUR*

"You just looked at another screen because the Internet has rotted your mind" Me with the spoon halfway to my mouth; "Bro, I'm WATCHING, don't slander me for nuthin'"

How nice of jaiden to help carry a new Pokémon player through a nuzlock

Seeing you 3 become friends and playing pokemon together has been so wholesome tbh

Passing your title onto your teammates during these colab videos in your intro is my favorite thing

The “Jacob is gonna make fun of us” joke was so goooooood I love it and this trilogy

Tbh I think what makes me the happiest is that if you watch all of Jans videos with and on alpha and jaiden, you'll notice he begins to slowly become more confident in his videos, they feel more fluid, more fun to watch and most importantly, Jan seems happier

I find it really heart warming when people come together in silly ways

I love how Jaiden, Jacob and Jan all start with J

My mind has been so polluted by the many Manscape sponsors on this channel I was like 80% confident that during the segue Jan was gonna say “so during the run, me and Jaiden talked a lot about balls”

This is like watching the antagonist learn the power of friendship

The 3 chaotic trio is the best friendship I could only live vicariously through them

Jan your editing has gotten so much better over the years. Your content has gotten so much more entertaining to watch :D

Now all three of you should do a soullink nuzlocke,

Also "Man, Jacob's gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out." As Jaiden's just breezing through.

Can we talk about how pokemon brought people from across the world together as friends? Warms my heart ❤️

Jaiden: "yeah jacobs chat is so goofy and evil" Jan: *mental breakdown*

What a great way to bring all of this full circle. Jaiden and Alpha learned a bit more about nuzlocking and Jan learned how to feel emotions.

Jaiden animating the section at 33:36 made me realize that yes, this is a collab

Jan having a taste of Jailden's absolutely horrible luck throughout the first half of the vid is hilarious.

When Jacob gets bullied by an AI that represents him, and by Jan in their playful beef. Gosh I adore this trio of chaos and the content it puts out. Jacob with great luck to the point of critting encounters to death and catching legendaries by the handful while sometimes barely strategizing, Jaiden with awful luck in terms of getting the worst possible outcomes and challenges despite actually knowing a lot of strategy generally, and Jan who decides instead to make luck the least of his suffering by choice, going so far as to make every run brutal and a test of his skills to master his craft to levels that many wouldn't have the patience or emotional capacity for while also spamming rare candies because his craft can't afford to take the time to grind, especially in Johto, which is based.

Funny how the only soullink without Jacob so far has been the only one to not be beaten Almost like he's the best nuzlocker in the world or something

For once Jaiden wasn't the one dealing with the bullshit, getting some nice Alpharad-branded luck 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jaiden: opps i Should have used something else Jan: slightly panicked and strategizing

Jan's personality: We might be the best nuzlockers in the world. Jaiden's personality: *anxiety intensifies*

Jaiden is SO complete as a creator. Decent skill, lots of fun, powerful narrative, epic animations, immeasurable kindness... What's not to love ? She's definitely uber tier.

When Jan said he made the ultimate mistake in Undella town I thought he was gonna say he accidentally walked into Cynthia's house lol

Pchal: pants stay brown Jacob: never say that again Jaiden: nice I knew jaiden would be okay with it lmao

"The true SoulLink was the friends we made along the way" being the unironic conclusion of this video was so sweet

I was playing radical red in the background and I had remembered the last time jan had caught me looking at another screen I thought “there’s no way he’ll do it again right?” AND THEN THE PERFECT TIMING HAPPENED AND HE DID IT AGAIN

jan introducing himself as their mispronunciation of his name is such a power move

4:55 I kid you not, just 10 seconds before this, I started playing pokenon on my switch next to watching the video 😂

I think you could play every clip where they got crit to the tune of "Strike a Pose" and still have at least half an hour of crit footage left

"Who else can screw up an encounter in a nuzlocke he's not even playing?" I died. I just died, that's all there is to it.

Yeah, I remember thinking this soullink wouldn't work because of the reasons Jan explained in the end. Hopefully in the future they will do another one on a base game, just like how he did with Alpharad and enjoy the experience of playing with a friend, rather than trying to challenge himself with a rom hack that was too hard to soullink.

I was terrified when he suddenly said "Hey hey hey you're doing the thing again you're looking at two screens at the same time" or something like that, because I was playing a game before I started watching this video and at that exact moment I continued playing my game I was so scared

1 guy in Jans chat said LETS GOOO DAN 17:20

Crazy how they all ended up being good friends. I found Jan through Jaiden’s first nuzlocke and I learned so much from Jan by watching all his videos 😊. I then I found Alpharad when Jan reacted to his nuzlocke so it’s been a journey 😄

i love how this all starts with jan being the bad guy and at the end he is just a great friend

33:32 Jan: "Man.. 😢.. jacob is gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out.." - From jadiens and jacobs soulink: Jaiden: "Man.. jan is gonna make so much fun of us when he finds out-" - Nice reference

I love seeing Jan making friends and playing nice with the other kids ❤

The pictures of you 3 at the end was so sweet and wholesome!

Showing the pics at the end was actually so sweet, so neat to see you guys become friends through this, seems like you’re getting along great and having so much fun together, in game and out, and like you said, that’s all that really matters.

4:56 this happened RIGHT AS I had scrolled down a bit to browse suggestsions for my next video and I got scared for a second

*Jan with Jaiden:* Oh, honey, it's okay! You're doing well, have fun. *Jan and Alpharad:* You're a piece of shit.

I love how 90% of this was jaiden waiting for him to finish battles 😂

I second Jaiden, the entire tepig line is a "pork not cooked enough" 🗿

im shocked i was playing pixelmon building me and my 2 friends base under water to not get found by other people with this in the background 04:50

thanks john cena for clarifying. for a second I thought that maybe pokemon challenges the greatest nuzlocker in the world wiped to a random trainer and then said it didn't count due to something called building clause, but I'm glad that you were there to correct that notion.

i love how jan always uses the clip of him faking hte reaction to jaidens and alpharad's nuzlocke LMFAO

Watched this video while shiny hunting Brambleghast and found it immediately. This is a very lucky video.

i love watching nuzlockes while nuzlocking

4:53 calling me out like that was psychic damage. Well played

The John Cena cameo had me wheezing 😂

God these two have an amazing dynamic

33:33 Nice reference

Let's not forget that Emboar can learn Scald, which is quite an added bonus, considering at the point of Black2/White2, it was the only fire type starter that could learn it.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate how much better jan has gotten at storytelling AND editing

I need you to know that even though the Nord script remains mostly the same, you’re one of the few content creators I actually watch it for. You’re not just background noise to me, Jan. ❤

took me too long to clock the cofagrigus slur oml

I was about 10 seconds away from opening my laptop to continue my own nuzlocke while listening to this video when he goes “you’re looking at another screen again aren’t you!?” 😂😂😂

*We're* probably the best Nuzlockers in the world Man, Idk why, but that start made me hyped!

Man you three have become such a lovable trio, actually makes me emotional

Goddamn, did not need that callout before the ad read 💀

5:17 Right now your my background noise for sewing

I love pchals rivalry against alpharad its fricken funny as hell

9:37 Don't you mean that's a "stinker." Eh? EH? Why do I always have to sit in the corner?

As someone who shiny hunted a starter Tepig in Black and proceeded to body the entirety of the Unova region up to the Elite Four with Shiny Emboar... I agree wholeheartedly with Jan's assessment of Emboar.

0:16 The best part about the triangle is that Jaiden's avatar look afraid to the spot the next run should be

The final episode to this series should be a 3 player soul link.

"who els could find a way to mess up an encounter in a nuzlock hes not even playing in" Im fucking dead dude 😂😂😂

Whenever I see Alpharad brought up as the Nuzlocke king, I imagine him as a figure head monarchy. Like hes the face of nuzlockes to a general audience, but we all know who really runs the nuzlocke government.

Jacob's gonna make so much fun of us when he finds put Ohh boy i can't wait to see him doing a reaction video and seeing that part

I don't normally comment, but I have to say that I'm really loving the evolution of Jan's content. I've been watching him since his Emerald Kaizo runs, but his most recent content is honestly a joy to watch. Love seeing him collab with other creators and have fun!

The subscribe callout/bit was actually really funny for me because I put the video on intending to use it as background for playing Hearthstone but then I realized I actually wanted to just watch the video and see what happened so I was completely focused by the time that segment started lmao

It was brilliant to get a writer for these. Sometimes you gotta outsource for the stuff you don’t have, and it is a SMART move.
