I Attempted a Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke

[@eliasper2894]

For those who didn’t watch the stream, Jaiden actually lost her first attempt at the Elite Four. Her Togekiss died to a crit Stone Edge against Aaron’s Heracross, and her Garchomp and Quagsire had really unlucky deaths against Bertha’s Rhyperior. Since the rest of her team was weak against Flint, she gave up. However, since the reason for her losing was extremely unlucky and not mistakes on her part, she did a poll asking if she could retry the Elite Four. 70% said yes, so she did it again. She won, but it was hollow. “Alternate Timeline Jaiden” was her, when she lost the first attempt.

I thought the weird glitchy flashbacks were just flashy and fun, but according to the comments, Jaiden actually failed the Elite Four on her first attempt and got a retry. That was a fantastic and creative method to both be open about your loss, as well as make something wildly entertaining and visually spectacular! Excellent work, Jaiden!

so the other jaiden the one that was split is failure jaiden the first jaiden that failed basically making this jaiden the alternate version the winning jaiden? so basically it was forshadowing her livestream i didnt get to finish seeing i guess

[@Saiyan0X]

@@nerdycookiebunny856 For what I understand (since I can't see the livestream replay), is that Jaiden lost the first try because of bad RNG (2 OHKO attacks hit 2 of her Pokemon). The chat let her retry one more time, and that is how she win. That is why of the glitches: Jaiden is looking at her "Original" version losing the original run.

[@sebastianpini2085]

@Jesper Ingebrigtsen i mean it could be but it isn’t, in the livestream she got critted and lost very important members of her team, which made it impossible for her to beat the elite 4, and she lost after the fire type user.

Jaiden could literally make a story that connects the other half that was sucked by Giratina to Legends Arceus, with a mission of rescuing her partners that perished during the Elite Four battles. She can even argue that their spirits, instead of being lost, were dragged into the past with her to save a Space-Time distortion that could've ended the world as a whole.

Yeah ... actually, not to spoil anything, but I would just like to say that what actually happened is that Jaiden was fighting the Elite Four. She lost two Pokémon to OHKO crits (Quagsire from Rhyperior’s Earthquake and Togekiss from Heracross’ Stone Edge) and blamed it on RNG. As a result, she ran a poll on her stream for whether or not Jaiden should restart at the Elite Four because she wanted to try again to Cynthia and 70% of viewers said yes, so that’s what happened. She then says that the original Jaiden, who played with normal nuzlocke rules, wiped to Flint while the alternate Jaiden went all the way to Cynthia and became champion. I actually like this telling of the story.

To those curious about the glitchy scenes, she lost to flint in her "first run", and if you pay attention to the weird scenes she showed images of who beat who which was actually amazing, what happened was that during aaron, togekiss was killed, but that was ok. However against bertha, rhyperior took out quagsire which was her sole plan to take out garchomp. This caused her to make the rash decision of throwing in garchomp against a th rhyperior with earthquake and avalanche which cost her that too. If you look at the video it shows thyperior holdimg both garchomp and quagsire. Then, flint finished her team as they all were weak to fire which is shown how everyone left is burnt in the flames. She decided to go again because of course that's what we wanted and she managed to win.

The first time was in the other dimension, where she was originally split into a second person in a second timeline.

@@General_C I see. I was wondering what the hell was going on. Nightmare fuel Bertha and stuff.

[@Diceroller98]

I honestly see Giritina as being the embodiment of Gravity. Dialga and Palkia are Time and Space respectively, both of which are intrinsically linked (Spacetime and the theory of relativity specifically) and Giritina being Gravity makes more sense than Anti-matter, as an extremely strong force of gravity, like a Black Hole, can literally bend space and time in and around itself, while Anti-Matter doesn't have that effect (to my knowledge at least) instead completely obliterating any matter it comes into contact with. If the Distortion world was a world of Anti-Matter and Giritina was also an entity comprised of Anti-Matter the moment Giritina entered our reality or anyone entered the Distorion world, that should have started the process of obliteration until there was no more matter or anti-matter left in the area either entity existed in. However not only are we the players and Giritina able to exist in each other's respective worlds the way Giritina changes form depending on which dimension it's in, and if it's holding the Grisieous Orb or not, may in fact be a response to taking a form more suited for the respective gravity of either world. In the distortion world specifically there are multiple floating platforms that exist, some of which are either facing each other on their sides, or in the case of the waterfall basically facing one another head on, which (to me at least) suggests that each platform has their own respective gravity that's strong enough for us to be pulled toward when we jump (for lack of a better word) off of one platform and onto another which would be us leaving one platform's respective gravity "Bubble" and into the "Bubble" of another platform allowing us to stand "upright" relatively speaking. Didn't mean to go off on such a long tangent, but that's just my two cents here.
