For those that don't know, Ari is the name of Jaiden's pet bird
Austin Lambert Every Poketuber who watched that video didn’t know that. The joke is funniest when a Jaiden fan and a Pokemon fan are watching, since it makes more sense.
It’s such an overshadowed joke and I hate it
Pet dog*
@@Clarek05 "Ari is a dog" is a common joke among Jaiden fans. I think even Jaiden herself did it
Ann Shad I know but I haven’t seen the joke used often so I think the guy who’s saying it is mad
It’s funny he said at the beginning that Tailow and Combusken were the only good ones, cause they were also the only survivors
Stealthheart ocZ
It seems fitting that the only survivors were bird pokemon, haha.
Didn’t torchic also survive
1Yoitsjoe Torchic is Combusken dude
Stealthheart ocZ oh ok sorry I don’t know Pokémon :(
1Yoitsjoe oh ok well Pokémon evolve if you didn’t know which means their appearance changes and they get stronger. Torchic evolves into Combusken and then Blaziken - so technically, Blaziken was the one who survived but Blaziken is still the same Torchic and Combusken
I am so happy that this man is officially in Jaiden's newest Nuzlocke.
This is the reason I'm watching this right now xD
Same here lol
That's why I am rewatching this now lmao. I saw it when it first posted.
@@christophera4527 right? I like this video a lot and I don't know why but I see it at least one time every month
Hello there
I think the reason Jaiden didn't switch much was that she wanted to keep the team consistent since it makes for better story telling.
it's also way more fun like that. less grindy and you get attached to your partners.
Teams of dozens of mon are kinda souless
@@vertsang5424 Id argue that capturing little monsters and staging them in the equivalent of our worlds dog or cock fights is pretty fucking soulless to begin with.
The only major casualty she didnt seem sad about was sparky but that's fair.
@@vertsang5424I’d say that’s subjective. Rather than getting attached to my Pokemon, I prefer building teams specifically for battles, at least in rom hacks.
I love the way he narrates the story. Praises Jaiden when she makes a good move, gives a proper opinion when it's necessary and genuinely enjoys the video without making too many pauses or something.
Kudos to you.

But still true
It's a beautiful story of love, loss, a peeko, and an annoying boy who had trouble catching his first Pokémon and ultimately ends up stalking you.
And than he dies at the end
@@anyathepanther7977 Who? Wally? Where the heck does he die (besides the manga)? I don't really know about RSE but in ORAS he's alive and well, and he even comes back in SM/USUM
@@chich-ai oh boy, it's a theory of the Fandom : when you see Wally for the last time in the game he stands in a field of flowers called "spider lily's". Those flowers are a symbol of nearing death and appear in many movies and games before a character dies.
So the Nintendo company may puts alot of efforts in research of culture for their games, that's why some fans think that the field of spider lily's wasn't just chosen because it looks pretty.
Wally is a yandere. Change my mind.
He just never ended up hurting anyone.
@@anyathepanther7977 Oh... Yeah that theory, I honestly think it's a dumb theory, I think the flowers are to represent Wally saying goodbye to his past, insecure self. But idk just my opinion
I love the whole time jaidens mourning corn, PC just looks like "he wasn't that good of a pokemon dude"
i mean he ain't wrong
@@RaphielShiraha64 He’s not wrong, but also nowhere near empathetic
@@chelseal5550 my man's seen 100's of deaths. Nothing special.
@@chelseal5550 ^THIS !
@@chelseal5550 it’s a fucking video game 😂😂
Telling your nuzlocke tale in the form of an animation helps a lot to make the travel more interesting in narrative terms.
For example; saying that Corn's phantom saved Zip Zag at the last minute from Altaria's earthquake was a nice, emotional touch.
Considering that the concept of the Nuzlocke originated in a webcomic, yeah it works really well as a narrative. Especially because a Nuzleaf is involved, just like the comic.
I completely agree
Jaiden is definitely an excellent story teller
Same reason why i read a lot of Nuzlocke comics back in the day
@@thesalinator3557 "everything happens for a reason"
I really like the way she played it, she took into account the NICKNAME rule. That emotional attachment, she even stresses it in the video. I understand that you might want the strongest team, but that kinda neglects that rule to an extent.
Also it makes her a really cool trainer, anyone can win with strategy, but she made it harder. Respect.
I'm not sure what point you're attempting to make here? somehow nicknaming your pokemon means that you can't build the strongest team available to you? either you're missing some critical pokemon knowledge or you forgot to type up like half your comment cos how do you go from nickname rule to building the strongest team neglects that rule? seriously why did over 500 people up vote this?...
@@sketch3744 The point was that the rule to nickname your pokemon is to build attachment to them, building attachment to your team makes it emotionally harder to swap them out for a better pokemon with less emotional attachment. 595 people upvoted this because they understand why Ash used his shitty pikachu for the entire series.
@@Forslimjims best reply of the year
@@Forslimjims I'm very aware that the idea of Nicknaming them is to develop emotional attachment but this genuinely in no way makes the game harder. Ash used his shitty Pikachu for the whole series because of an emotional attachment he made with it through exclusive reasons that he did not have with his other pokemon. If every pokemon is being nicknamed there is no exclusive reason in nicknaming them to prefer one over the other. If she prefers one over the other, it's not due to nicknames as every pokemon is nicknamed. She also either plans to or actually does many times throughout the nuzlocke sacrifice certain pokemon she loves in order to win...So again I ask. WTF do you have to smoke to come to the conclusion that nicknaming pokemon means you cannot arrange the strongest possible team available to you? Can I have some? How did 595 people get their hands on OP's stuff and how did 46 other people get their hands on yours? Gotta love mob mentality: "why actually think for myself, or at all for that matter!"
Edit: Literally the comment below these with 9.2K upvotes: "Yeah, Jaiden used to do competitive battles, so she's pretty good at knowing things and knowing when to make sacrifices." But I thought she was too attached to her pokemon to make the best decisions and make sacrifices?
@@dizkylian1931 Not really. Pretty much as badly in line as the original comment itself. Mob Mentality though lol.
Pro Nuzlocke dude : "hell yeah brother, Anorith is so cool, good choice !"
Me : "yeaaah she'll _definitely_ use Gary"

Dr pepper what's your favourite scp
Literally me lol
*sensing high amounts of sarcasm* beep beep beep
Dr. Pepper I have have 6000 hours of nuzlock experience completed all of my nuzlocks
I did a Soul Silver nuzlocke. I looked up encounters for everywhere and noticed that the Cliff Cave has got wild Steelix at a higher level than everything else. A creative use of Repel guaranteed that encounter, and it was very literally the backbone of my team to stomp through for an easy victory.
What did you do with Repel?
@@wilh3lmmusic repel prevents any encounters with wild pokemon of a lower level than the one in the front of your party. So I trained up a spare one to the exact right level.
Steelix is pretty damn good if you keep it away from strong special attacks
@@JonMW so that's how repel works I always wondered
NGL I personally think doing THAT amount of research beforehand sort of takes the fun out of it, but you do you lol.
I actually like this guy as as a reactor because he's the kind that actually engages with the video and uses it as a learning experience. Well done my man
I enjoy that most of his negative comments are about the Pokemon themselves and not her choices. And when he ends up being right later on, he's not snarky about it, he explains what could've gone right,
I'm learning more than I expected about pokemon lol
He's a very good teacher in that aspect, yeah. Purely constructive without ever making the other person feel like an idiot. A very, very good attitude and approach.
@@Alex-sv7vt He slips into that sometimes in other videos but he's good at avoiding that for the most part. Definitely doesn't seem like that kinda guy either.
Lol I agree
@@Alex-sv7vt As a frequent viewer of PC, he does occasionally take a dive at the creators, but more so when they start blaming the game for their own mistakes or make a nonsensical play. You see this a lot in his videos on MandJTV. MandJTV constantly blames crits that "came out of nowhere", even though they're a 1/16 chance with every attack. You have to plan for critical damage, or else you're going to lose. But if a creator can own up to their mistakes, then he's usually very respectful about it
@@Alex-sv7vt I meannnn there’s nothing really hardcore about a nuzlocke 😅
Yeah, Jaiden used to do competitive battles, so she's pretty good at knowing things and knowing when to make sacrifices.
When?
@@sonicthehedgehog6505 think it's sarcasm...
When
So she does know her shit! I KNEW IT!! PRAISE JAIDEN
mr rock it’s not sarcasm
Came here because she named her rival in her newest nuzlocke (heart gold/soul silver) after you for reacting to her and the guy she was doing her randomized Nuzlink with.

This is basically a reaction video without any fake reactions and constructive criticism, which makes it 100% better than stupid reaction videos
Just did my own Sapphire Nuzlocke adopting Jan's rules:
- No overleveling the next Gym Leader.
- No items during battle except Hold Items.
- Set Mode
Had a few pretty humiliating losses:
- Lost Gyarados to Norman's Slaking.
- Lost Marshtomp to Machoke's Revenge on Route 115.
- Lost Manectric to Milotic on Route 120.
- Lost Banette to Foresight + Revenge from a Machoke on Route 127. (Revenge was my worst enemy in this Nuzlocke, I also learned what Foresight does)
- Allowed Wailmer to evolve because I forgot Wailord doesn't learn Water Spout until 44, which I was planning on using to take out Tate & Liza with ease.
- Lost Wailord to Archie's Sharpedo.
- Lost Meditite from missing Hi-Jump Kick.
But in the end I had some victories as well:
- Used a Grumpig for the first time (kind of bad, but still cool).
- Learned that you can get items like King's Rocks and Focus Bands from Linoone's Pickup.
- Learned to beware Foresight, as mentioned above.
- Deathless Winona because Castform is a monster.
- Deathless Wallace because he can't touch Shedinja at all (kinda felt like cheating tbh, but only a little since Shedinja was underleveled and could barely do damage).
- Learned of the devastating power of Ninjask's Swords Dance + Baton Pass to Armaldo.
- Deathless Pokémon League Challenge.
My team in the end was:
Ninjask (Swords Dance/Aerial Ace/Slash/Baton Pass) (Shell Bell)
Armaldo (Ancient Power/Protect/Slash/Fury Cutter) (Sitrus Berry)
Grumpig (Psychic/Confuse Ray/Rest/Bounce) (Chesto Berry)
Castform (Hail/Sunny Day/Weather Ball/Thunderbolt) (Nevermeltice)
Walrein (Surf/Ice Beam/Rest/Encore) (Chesto Berry)
Flygon (Dragonbreath/Earthquake/Crunch/Strength) (King's Rock)
Nice I'm on victory road rn only lost 3 pokemon through the game then again I overlevel

It's funny, seeing someone actually respond with EV knowledge. It makes the Earthquake moment lose a little luster, until one remembers Jaiden didn't know about EVs when knocking out all those Marill.
Accidental EV farming. Gotta love it.
I'd say she was very much aware of ev's at this point but was likely just not paying attention to them.
@@sketch3744 I can kinda see that, though I guess we just agree to disagree; I think that, at the time, Jaiden might've heard about EVs, but didn't really know about them. I don't have evidence of this, but considering the research shown with some of the other details (high/low rolls, specifically), it's the sort of thing where, at the time of animating/recording, it would've clued in to her by then, that it wasn't "chance" or "divine intervention" that saved Z.Z. Zop, but EVs.
But like I said, I guess it's an "agree to disagree" situation.
@@smartboy201 Jaiden apparently has competitive experience, so she would definitely know what Effort Values are. If she'd know how to effectively EV train for an in-game context is another matter.
@@jordanthejq12 Huh, I actually didn't know Jaiden had competitive experience... I'm oddly happy I learned that, today. Thanks!
I still don't know what EVs are
I actually like the constructive criticism he's dishing out, not just berating Jaiden for her choices, but educating everyone on what to do and what not to do.

Crowbat literally carried my first playthrough of Sapphire. One of the older kids talked me into trading my level 5 starter for a level 20 something Zubat.
That is impossible. In gen 3, you need more than one Pokémon to trade. You get pokeballs after beating May, but at this time, your starter is forced into two battles making it level 6. So how was it level 5?
(Yeah I had nothing else to do)
@@kohinoorbanerjee4009 I was under the impression you can lose the first rival battle
@@lolloblue9646you can lose against the zigzagoon/poochyena that attacks the professor because it runs away if your health gets too low, but you HAVE to beat the first rival fight to progress and I’m fairly certain it will always give you at least enough exp to level up from 5-6
Can we talk about how she named that pokemon after her girl bird, and did not let it die. I was so happy Ari survived the entire game.

I know right that was funny dude
The joke with tailow/swellow’s name is that Jaiden has a bird named Ari whose personality fits tailow’s Pokédex entry perfectly
Agressive and screams when hungry
The pokemon in the pc lived technically
i am not liking it is at 690
I always get upset watching Poketubers not get it. Everyone should know the glory of Ari.
You are correct!
I'll tell you about my first nuzlocke. I FUCKIN LOST TO A CRIT FROM MY RIVAL ON THE FIRST FIGHT.. so I retried thinking, "Must just be a fluke" only to have it happen again on the very next start up. Taking that as a sign, that was the last time I attempted a nuzlocke (it was black 2 if that matters)
oof that’s what happened to me when I tried a Nuzlocke in Pokémon Let’s go,
Just assume that a crit could happen every turn and switch pokemon more frequently
@@PredictableEnigma bro it's was the starter fight????? There was no switching there LMAO
Yea not all crits are avoidable sadly. For rival battles when you only have your starter, you basically just restart until you don’t get crit lol. The good part is tho, it’s not like this takes a while.
My sign to stop actually playing Pokemon was when Copia the Rattata died of Weedle poisoning before I could get her to the hospital
18:24
The reason Winona went for dragon dance again which pretty obviously was because it was paralyzed so its speed was halved so it had to keep dragon dancing till the ai knew it outsped
Fun fact: paralysis actually *quarters* your speed in this generation
@@connortg5oh dang. That’s kinda brutal.

This is why I consider Steven Stone the third toughest champion to deal with, and almost competing with Leon for the number two spot. Because Metagross was a lot scarier when it resisted dark and ghost and your gen 3 options for fire and ground were more limited. And even if you take it out, if you waste too much on just Metagross, the fossils can be an issue, between Cradily's tankiness and Armaldo's damage output.

Hi
hi
Hello
That comment is quite true literally too
THE HP EVS WE'RE SO CLUTCH! If she killed 4 less marill, magneton was dead!
great point.
The math is off here. While 8 EVs gives 2 hp at level 100, they will only give 1 hp at level 50. For her level 32 Magneton who got 160 hp EVs to lose 2 hp it requires 24 EVs to be missed, in this case 12 marills. So if she didn't KO 12 of those marill (and instead KO'd something else for the levels) she would have lost Zipzapzop.
Sorry is this some sort of smart person joke that I'm too (adjective) to understand?

derpyxcloudy ! The Pokémon community is generally small, with the most entertaining Pokémon youtubers not having the highest amount of subscribers, especially Nuzlockers.

@@ethanrose9682 in emerald, wallace runs ludicolo. Also, on like every route, there are like 5 trainers with a roselia.
@@slendveny7191 I forgot Wallace's Ludi, but I was mostly talking about important trainers. Sure there's a handful of Roselia trainers, but in terms of gyms and the e4, Ruby and Sapphire are completely safe for Swampert.
This dude is the definition of “being so nerdy that you’re actually cool”
… nah
@@2im36 damn forgot all about this comment lmao
@@3azyac lowkey i thought you werent gonna see it-
It's kind of true though.
Now why didn't this get more comments! Because it's actually true. 😂
I don’t want to believe this was 3 years ago.
28:28 - How to sound EXACTLY like a Pokémon evil rival.
Knowing zipzapzop's miraculous survival was due to the Marill HP EVs makes it even cooler imo. Thanks for that mate
Literal 5Head prediction. That analysis came out from him so naturally
What is "Marill HP EVs"? I never heard of something like that.
@@hanfmann17 Wild pokemon give EV's depending on the pokemon. Merill happens to boost HP, so grinding on nothing but Marills is going to make your pokemon a tanky boi.
@@jaegerbravely8869 Effort-values, never heard of that before. That was what i searched for. Thanks.

He is because the two types is especial
Don't mess with a professional nuzlocker i guess let's just listen to him lol
Love watching this and a lot of other Nuzlocke reactions, these plus other videos and Nuzlocke experiences have helped a lot with my Nuzlockes. Learned fast that pivots are super great to use in Alpha Sapphire, very much helped with Norman.

Zipzapzop: NEVER GIVE UP
“OH HELL YEAH Anorith IS COOL” HAPPY NOW
8 minutes later
“Yeah Anorith is terrible good choice”
He said cool, actually
He said cool, and plus Anorith might be weak, but when evolved to Armaldo at around lvl 40 it becomes super strong, so its a good pokemon as well, but not worth it
Actually he said it was cool but if u listen to this 11:47 he he loved anorith so
@@cup2990 liking and thinking it's good are two very different things tho
Anorith without tms is rubbish BUT! If you give it rock tomb tm from first gym, it can catch up well and become an end game beast, it's hard but it can be rewarding I think that's sort of where he was coming from with those statements 🤔
“That’s a trash capture”
*laughs in attachment*
Yeah I don't think he understands the connection ppl make with their mons. I think he's just done so many nuzlockes he no longer cares when they die lmao
@@heavensdoorofficial4977 yeah as soon as I saw Pro Nuzlocker in the title I instantly knew he doesn't care much about his Pokémon attachment wise.
Xavier Lara yeah pretty much
@@xavierlara2059 Which means he misses the entire point because just doing a hard challenge is not the whole point.
Yeah his mindset reminds me of competitive pokemon battling making sure the pokemon has perfect IVs etc. I don't know some people endure doing that for multiple pokemon if they enjoy it good for them personally it wasn't for me.
Jan's Nuzlocke advice has helped me in catching Pokémon in Scarlet!
When I first started collecting pokemon cards, Torchic was my very first card and now it's my favorite. Brings back some memories
For those of you (correctly) commenting how supportive Jan is instead of bashing every decision Jaiden made, this is simply the difference in self confidence. Other nuzlockers may feel like they have something to prove whereas Jan knows he's one of the best.
Or he's simply a nice guy.
@@intergalactic92 or both
He didn’t laugh at the chopping onions, bruh, I died there 😂
I caught it
It was cringe
23:00 it’s about 17.6% max extra damage for anyone who is curious.
Regarding the damage ranges, specifically if the first hit does less than 45%, you are safe except to a crit - if the first hit does less than 22%, you are safe even to a crit (unless there was setup to reduce damage done to you of course).
"I rarely hear about nuzlockes they finished" I tried a Black and White nuzloke and died at the first gym. I think I get a pass...
I beaten gen 5.
You lost to the gym that literally gives you a pokemon that can't lose to the gym? Impressive
@@Aaron0000014 xd well crits are a thing he may of been a little bit under level.
@@Aaron0000014 some people don't allow gift pokemon.
@@williamlanagan3528 Still. If you whipe at gym 1, that's like a 20 minute run at most. Why not try again?!?

I love how Jaiden’s video inspired animators to do nuzlockes of there own
can’t wait for your reaction to the soul link since you’re the rival
“Seedot is a garbage encounter” ummm sir...you can kindly keep that opinion to yourself. Corn was a hero.
The marill that died to thunderbolt are the real heroes.
@Private Damn private you didn't have to do that.
Private
nO
Also Nuzlocke wouldn't be Nuzlocke without Nuzleaf.
It is garbage
I will forever LOVE Breloom. Why? Here is a story!
I've been playing Pokemon since red and blue, and I had a real life rival who I was never able to beat. Junior high high school, never beat him. I eventually made it my goal that I would at least be m in one game. Stanley happened in X & Y. I got a male Breloom who I named The Duke, taught it Mach Punch, and gave it a King's Rock. (In case you didn't know King's Rock has a chance to make the opponent flinch.) It was a close match and he eventually killed all but The Duke. He had two Pokemon left, one was almost dead and the other was at full health. I was able to Mach Punch it and cause it to flinch allowing me to kill the full health one. And being that it's Mach Punch always goes first it was easy to take down the one after that that was almost dead. So after almost 13 years I finally beat him thanks to my Breloom.
Yeah I’m not reading all of that but good for you or sorry that happened
@@dakotadrummond3258 Long story short, It's because of my Breloom that I was able to beat my real life rival of 13 years.
@@MRCrazyKorn need a meta for your breloom ;)
something immune to spore a steel type and maybe a fire type too.
breloom is too broken honestly
16:56 I love how Jan comments really complement what's happening, giving TRUE feedback about how to get better. Alpharad may think he's mean at times, but since he's just so good that being assertive it's the best way to help improve their skills
7:49 I agree but I don't think jayden would want to risk Ari getting Hury since its named after her irl bird lol
It's interesting seeing a nuzlocker take this seriously and give tips
Why do I have a feeling this dude would be really good at try not to laugh challenges
Because there exists no challenge he can't face
Yeah, I've thought that too lol. It's kind of interesting reacting to things analytically
you see the problem with this video is that there was no strategy at all. They should have sacrificed their friend in order to come out on top, it's worth sacrificing in a situation like this, as you always want to be thinking of the optimal plays, it' pretty easy
@@itzsquishy3712 ok? Some people like playing nuzlockes kind of casually, not every nuzlocke requires that. Sure, there could've been better plays i guess, but alot of deaths seemed hard to avoid. Why go to such extremes to say there was no strategy? It was her *first* nuzlocke and all things considered she did pretty good.
@@sparkypikachu7776 I was joking about PC analysing the try not to laugh video not berating anyone
I still don't know hardly anything about Pokemon but I enjoy these videos a lot for some reason 😂 I guess your attitude is fun and it's cool to hear someone talk about something they love
Letting UA-cam take me through recommended vids as I do something with it in the background, and man, Jaiden is a really good animator, and not only that, but she's a fantastic storyteller. So many fun details, like Teriyaki's runup as she goes through their fallen comrades getting faster and faster, that's really cute, as well as the foreshadowing of Gary slinking into the shadows up until the final battle. Love her creativity.
And sorry this was a lot about Jaiden, but I really like Jan's commentary on these Nuzlocke's. He's so funny at times and has really valuable commentary for people who are interested in doing Nuzlockes themselves (or honestly just general pokemon knowledge), and even when there's critical comments, he's not mean about it. (Or I mean, not unless the mean is funny haha)
Anyway, this vid is old, but I appreciate these two a lot. I imagine it's not easy to give Nuzlocke commentary without actually seeing the battles play out, but Jan does a very good job of it (in other vids too ofc)
That's ten Pokemon she lost in battle.
They shall be missed. 😔
Mostly lol. Probably not chomps or hush child
@@lucatea778 hahahahahaha
How about a nuzlocke with no deaths allowed.
@Andrei Salvaleon If any pokemon fall in battle your journey stops forever. You won't be able to continue on because it will never be the same. You will forever be in mourning.
@Andrei Salvaleon yeah, I am just kidding. I do have a few questions though, would you answer them?
Out of the Pokémon UA-camrs who reacted to this, this guy is one of my favorites since he’s a pro nuzlocke and instead of lookin down he recognized her efforts and provided tips and lessons and still enjoyed it despite jaiden’s mistakes I respect that
I only recently bothered to do anything with a Zubat. Finally ended up with a Crobat and was not disappointed! I also am a big fan of Kabutops.
17:56 I'm pretty sure Khorne would have ZipZapZop die here.
Can we say how the Nuzleaf being the saving spirit of Magneton is mindblowing when you know the origins of the Nuzlocke Challenge?
What are they?
I wanna hear them too!
@@lorgon2111 The Nuzlocke challenge was born in a comic called Pokemon: Hard Mode. The reason why it's called "Nuzlocke" is that the first Pokemon captured by the author was a Seedot who died after evolving to Nuzleaf, he appears resembling Lost character John Locke as a recurring gag.
I don't even play pokemon, and I found the commentary to be so fascinating.
Same I don’t even know what he’s talking about but I kept nodding my head like I understood.
same, never played a pokemon game in my life
Download an emulator if you want to play it
Yeah play emerald kaizo great game it’s so ez ;3
@@xanfarr21 can you link it cuz i really want to play pokemon :v
Jan: getting Breloom early means you don’t get spore
Me: i believe that shroomish doesn’t get spore until like lv50 in gen 3
It is nice to see this again and watch it come full circle
Nobody:
Teryaki: Its a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, on days like these, Fossils like you, Should pay for what you did to my friends
UNDERTALEE REFERENCE OVER 9000000000
Cringe over 9000
Should burn in pokeball?
Now someone here understands!!!!!!
I get that reference
So... I wanna start off comment by saying that I've never really watched Pokemon Challenges before, but I know a lot of people who "Professionally Nuzlocke," most of them are elitist pricks who demand that nuzlocking must only be done one way, and have no sympathy or compassion for new/casual nuzlockers.
That being said, this is one of the best reaction videos I've seen, he's a very polite guy who offers really helpful advice without coming off as know-it-all. You can tell he loves the game, and is enjoying watching JaidenAnimations play for the first time.
I legit never comment, but this video has earned both a comment and a subscribe. Great Job!
Oh, no, he does come off as a know-it-all, but in a respectful sense... Especially if you've seen some of his other videos. He does have a bit of an ego, considering how long he's done Nuzlockes and all the experience he has in them, but... *usually*... he tends to be mindful that not everyone is as good as him and tries to be helpful and give positive criticism for the most part. I enjoy... I'd say about 80-90% of this guy's content, which is pretty good ratio I think.
@@krystallinekris i think most of the ego stuff is slightly put on and a joke
@@krystallinekris The ego is part of his character, in his old videos and streams he’s actually shy asf, then found a persona he felt fit his channel.
At the end of the day he has explained that he feels people should play whichever way is fun for them without over or underselling their accomplished in another video. Which is pretty cool of a take tbh.
@@r.r.4563 The comment was 7 months ago, and I understand it's part of the character. I've even seen the videos that Jan says people shouldn't get up in arms becuse someone doesn't play a nuzlocke 'right' because they're allowed to enjoy a set of self-imposed rules for a children's game the way they want to. I think it was for the Jaiden reaction for Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke. I like him for that stance.
It's just that, fake or not, that display of ego can get rather repetitive and annoying after a while. xD That's all. Dude himself, beneath that, is rather chill though.
@@krystallinekris He's got ego and he got every reason to have it. Man's done more NUZLOCKE hours than probably alot of ours gaming hours. I don't understand why y'all people don't like it .like he feels like such a chad. He's got ego but he ain't toxic with it.
this is such a funny video to come back and watch. the fact that he didn’t edit out the flubbed intro kills me every time
Jaiden:
Oh our god Corn hast looked upon zipzapzop and hast blest them with survival
Jan:
HP evs for the win nerd haha
