To add more to Gen 5: the Battle Facility leaders of Unova are twin brothers named Ingo and Emmet. In Legends Arceus, Ingo is there. Over a hundred years in the past, he has amnesia, and there's not a single scrap of information about Emmet. He could still be in Unova (probably not handling his brother's disappearance well) or he could have been transported to a different region and century like Ingo (possibly gaining amnesia as well) There was a popularity poll in Japan for people's favorite male Gen 5 characters (there was a separate poll for female characters). In the male character poll, Ingo got first place and Emmet got third. N was actually second place.

[@xaiiphon]

Definitely one of the better pokemon stories in a LONG time. Like it actually felt like the devs hired an actual team of writers who like to write, because we finally have decently fleshed-out characters and storylines that were thought out properly with an actual arc having been completed each time. Pokemon game stories always kinda just felt like the story decisions were just decided on by whoever was in house for a typical journey beat story. I was fully expecting to turn my brain off to the story but I was genuinely surprised at myself for being like "damn, whats happening next"

[@r4oug3]

I thought the team star plot was shit arvens plot (best out of the three) was very good for a pokemon game and victory road was the generic pokemon formula i think the team star plot could have been way better (and the game as a whole) if they gave pokemon scarlet and violet another year because they were working on pokemon arceus and pokemon scarlet and violet at the same time

[@jeremymullens7167]

Team star’s plot was a good anti bullying message for its target audience. I would like a villain group that’s actually villainous. Some times those group come off as flat and cartoonish. Also would rather not have a misunderstood guy. It seems we’re getting a plot with the villain group not being related to the main antagonist plot. This has been happening since Sun and moon and it seems to be the new trope. The problem with scarlet and violet is the main antagonist plot doesn’t really start picking up till post game. And then is over very quickly. No admins or schemes to interrupt. No one to save. Just a boss battle essentially. There is also a lack of dungeons. I don’t think the team star base battle mechanic made a good replacement for the villain base dungeons.

[@MothMedusa]

People had said most of what I would've said about the game in the comments, so I'll go with a nice detail for those of us that live in Spain. Have you seen those mail boxes in the game? The yellow cilinders that are in some cities in Violet? They are EXACTLY the same as those in Spain. They didn't need to do that, if they weren't we wouldn't have missed them, but they added them. And all people I know have reacted the same, with glee, watching that little detail that we didn't expect to find. By the way, there are a lot of pokemon that are designed from spanish things. To give a few examples: - The last evolution of Quaxly? A carnaval dancer from the Canarian Islands. - Greavard and Houndstone? They reference the Santa Compaña, a myth from Galicia. - Smoliv and Lechonk are easy, the olives and iberic pigs. - Charcadet and its evolutions? I'm pretty sure they are a reference to El Cid Campeador, specially Ceruledge (the Violet evolution), whose myth says that he had two swords whose names are related to fire, and he won his last battle against the moors when he was already dead, as they put him in his horse and the sole sight of him (well, his corpse, but the moors didn't know it in the myth) made them surrender - And of course, Miraidon, who is based on the Cuelebre, a spanish myth (basically a big lizard related to thunderbolts that protected treasures, an electric dragon, if you will). Also bikes. In Spain there is a big culture around bikes, and we've had big world champions in bike races through history (Angel Nieto, Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo... some of the best bike pilots in history, alongside people like Doohan or Rossi), and several active circuits (Spain is the only country with FOUR motoGP races, the other 15 are distributed through 15 countries) I did miss a new horse pokemon, spanish horses ARE famous, after all, so a new one or a regional variant would had been nice, and maybe something related to swords (Toledo's swords are famed to be among the best made swords in history), like a regional Aegislash, although to be fair, the new pseudo is somewhat related to swords, so, to be fair, I can't complain too much, but I would have loved a regional Aegislash xD

Also the bocatas the bocatas as the food for the picnic is a masterpiece because it’s big culture to eat these weird sandwich made of very specifics bread and sometimes someone just ate one as any type of food as a lunch as a dish as a snack just they are legal for anytime of the day to eat and nobody will tell you a thing like is happens when you ate I don’t know ice cream as a second dish ? Bocata is legal for everything

[@celesteelka]

This was very educational, thank you! The story of the corpse on his horse making an army surrender was so cool.

[@lenlimbo]

@@celesteelka If you are interested, Charlton Heston protagonized a movie about El Cid, and it ends with exactly that scene.

[@sarahsander785]

These little details are actually why I love the series so much. They pay a lot of attention to this stuff (I first noticed it in Sun/Moon with the adressing of people, but it has been around since Red and Blue days interestingly enough). That's why I would love to see so many countries be represented in the Pokémon world as well. Charcadet as a nod to El Cid is pretty intersting, too. I knew the myth, but I didn't see the connection. And you're right about the horses, but they probably steered away from that due to Galarian Ponyta just the generation before. They did get enough backlash because of Meowth *lol*

[@lenlimbo]

@@sarahsander785 Fair, but I wouldn't had been against a regional mudsdale XD And honestly? At this point the regional Meowths were like the pikaclones, I was expecting one with each new region. I know there was some backlash, but I missed a spanish... I meant paldean Meowth. I dunno in which cat could be based, but... XD

[@peterstoric6560]

Arven: I just experienced one of the most traumatizing experiences I think I ever will in my life. Nemona: Yeah kinda sucks, but you wanna battle?

[@PedrinJota]

Quaquaval (quakly final evolution) is a brazillian pokemon,because he dances Samba and fights Capoeira

[@wellsclassof2017]

I would love to see you animate this adventure Jaiden. You are a funny person and I enjoy your content.

[@SamsAnimations]

Why do I feel like this is gonna turn into “jaiden being sarcastic for 2 hours straight”

[@ef6975]

Jaiden being chaotic for 2 hours straight

[@Moakmeister]

Because Pokemon Violet is a bad game that no one likes?

[@RegenWasTaken]

@@Moakmeister guess I'm no-one Also that's just your opinion

[@franciscoOrellana29]

@@Moakmeister is it specifically violet XD? Also, your opinion I would say that this game has mixed opinions and a large part of the negative ones are due to performance

[@RegenWasTaken]

@@franciscoOrellana29 I don't think there's a truly BAD Pokemon game Even SWSH, SM and XY were just mediocre at worst

[@eleatreezero]

holy crap the editors went all out. gods 2 hours. i'm amazed at their dedication. i see why it took awhile to get these out. it's not just vods. it's straight up an edited video. ❤❤

[@merchantotin6266]

Violet is my first Pokémon game. Went in with my bare minimum knowledge of the franchise which was some of the anime and the Regis. Currently with: Gardevoir - main damage dealer for most situations and my first psychic pane faerie type (they were one of the ralts from the starting area originally and now they are level 53) Gallde - faints nearly every battle but I can’t help but root for him, mostly use him to catch Pokémon or test the opponent’s damage. Tinkaton - the teams Tank who can also deal damage if the type advantage is in favour. Garchomp - caught the prior evolution and just had him on the team since and he single-handedly beat the ice gym Vapereon - caught them because I had no water types and that’s about it. I do have others but they are replaceable (hope they add the Regis to the game at some point since they are the reason I looked into Pokémon as I just found a card of RegiRock and went “he looks cool I wonder what he is off”) Still figuring out the type advantages but with my teams mostly pscychic and faerie damage dealers I’m fine against most types for now.

[@Meee2104]

1:10:30 love how you can here Jaiden taking a screenshot 😂

[@BNotInc]

Bro, how am I already getting nostalgic towards Scarlet and Violet? 💀💀💀 *They’ve been out for like only 3 months.*

[@mechajason]

I’m waiting for the DLC line to come out

[@curnies]

Literally same, I'm like do I need to do another playthrough already? Hahaha

[@trickstertwister612]

This is why I've already done 2 playthroughs and am looking into getting both games

[@doodlebloom_]

felt lmao, i've been super nostalgic for sun and moon but those were kinda recent too lol

[@cameronweaver2013]

@mechajason definitely getting some announcements with Pokemon Day

[@cinderstar9718]

I like that she actually READS THE DIALOGUE! Hope you enjoyed the game!

[@thenewtriosguy]

except, ya know, the parts she didn't read

[@Slagomancer]

Jaiden had a lot of accidental foreshadowing in her commentary, that's so funny to me

[@nyoggo]

It's exciting seeing Jaiden play an open world pokemon game! Hope she checks out Legends Arceus too since it's one of my favorites :D

[@squilliam986]

I was fully expecting just a raw VOD but the amount and quality of edits in a whole 2 hour video is really impressive

[@The_One_In_Black]

As someone who watched many, many trailer reactions and breakdowns and other videos in the lead-up, it's always fascinating to me to watch these playthroughs by creators who avoided the trailers.

[@smolrobyn6042]

20:27 that's known as cute aggression. its the only thing I really remember from studying psychology

[@Crysteldragon]

5:13 Yessssss Fuecoco is so cute I picked him too!

[@celinadelrosario449]

I just love that end scene. Everyone is like whooo lets get Snacks and habe an adventure while arven is there grieving losing both of His dads 🤣

[@cierraslowsdown]

Everyone keeps talking about how the editors edited a 2-hour video… remember: Jaiden played this for 3 days, at LEAST 8-hour days… so this is at LEAST 27 HOURS, edited down to 2!!! Freakin’ AMAZING, editing team!!

[@MrMeowstic7]

When I fought geeta it started raining when she said she couldn't hold back. Just crazy cinematic timing I guess. Also nemona is probably the only good rival that's not a complete jerk imo

[@A_Random_Toast]

im getting this game for my birthday and THATS SO COOL THAT U CAN MAKE UR OWN CHARACTER LIKE CUSTOMIZEING IT-

[@hoopa_axolotl9293]

I love the complete opposite responses to the team star climax with Jaiden and Alpharad

[@chrish6415]

Funny how understanding the plot changes your perspective, huh? Alpha was the personification of "tl;dr" for the team star path, and the comment section roasted him for it.

[@Schnort]

​​@@chrish6415 he's the tl:dr if you also skipped the tl:dr

[@Caerulis]

Jaiden with her unhinged commentary is just pure gold. Love to see more of this

[@Jetsteam2020]

FUECOCO IS MY BEST BOI!!!!!XD i couldn't think of a cool name so he eventually just became Best Boi, the Reliable Partner XD

[@miacampbell4681]

Alpharad *generally negative and hates every part of the team star storyline* Jaiden “Ohhh different eye shapes!”

[@MayliSong]

The final fight gets me. Like its all so eerie and uncomfotable. "AI Turo has no intention of fighting any more!//You are challenged by the Paradise Protection Protocol" is the spooky cherry on top, like damn pokemon.

[@kilimachevsk623]

"Oh boy, I can't wait to see Jaiden's reactions to Tinkaton, or Skeledirge!" "Some footage got lost, sorry!" ".... :( "

[@beltranian1594]

I think this game had the best pokemon story since B&W. And even then the freedom this game gives and how it all comes tg at the end, I find it hard to say that this is one of the best pokemon stories out there. Forgetting graphics and any other issues it had, the story overall was so captivating, when you finish it, it truly leaves an impact on you and a sense of true accomplishment. S&V outdid itself in that aspect imo.

[@faylinminecraft2704]

1:10:20 I just saw the name of you're pokemon you used here I'm from the Nederlands and haha I really that for a moment you named you're pokemon Father (father in the nederlands is Vader) 🤣☺love you're vids btw

[@patricktravis1720]

Despite the bugs and glitches this game's story was one of the best in the main games we've had in a long time

[@Boredom2345]

True Arven's story is heartwarming

It was a least deeper than just "bad guys blah blah legendary pokemon plotting blah blah"

"Arven is the most traumatized character in pokemon" *Lille staring from the corner*

[@gasterthemaster6490]

Atleast Lusamine wasn't dead.

[@jeremymullens7167]

Your mother becoming unhinged after your father disappeared, then trying to murder you is more traumatizing than your parents dying in what is essentially a lab accident. The real tragedy for Arven is Pokémon characters don’t have real families so his uncle or grandma couldn’t care for him.

[@yorukage5926]

Lillie and Arven are two different types of trauma. Arven actually tries to help himself and dive into discovering the root of it and gets help from his friends. Lillie is a giant coward who didn't do shit until she had the protagonist be her human shield to do everything for her

[@sarahsander785]

Not only Lillie, but Gladion, too. And probably Guzma as well. Not to forget Hop. They all have diffrent roots and kinds of trauma, but I wouldn't state one of them is less traumatized than the others. I would even go as far as to include all of Team Star in this list, too. With Arven they just made it the most clear, while by all of the others it sits a bit between the lines, blurred between the story and their very diffrent coping mechanisms. And while I can relate with Arven and Penny the most I think Hop has it the hardest, having to live up to his brother while seemingly being ignored by most of his family. He is so caught up in his brothers shadow that Bede shatters him and he still doesn't get to see another way but copying Leon. Until he sees Leon fail he didn't seem to know that another sort of life was possible for anyone. Poor guy never even tried to be diffrent, probably because Leon was the only one in his family actually caring for him. And Guzma was failed by his own ambitions. It's not clear why he aimed so high, but he clearly couldn't cope with the fall.

[@Nova-gh5yr]

​@yorukage5926 I mean yeah...she is a traumatized 11 y/o, her whole arc is growing into a person of her own and gaining self-confidence after her mother treated her like an object and controlled her for her whole life 😭

[@dankmeemo3464]

I got a shiny tarountula colored red and black in the first minutes and still love him

[@lillie8916]

one of my favorite things about the new games is if you encounter a trainer in the routes and stuff, you don’t necessarily have to fight them. you might want to because it would help you level up, but if you dont want to you dont have to. thats something that always like aggravated me in the older games, so im glad its an option now.

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

The editing on this two-hour video is insane, especially given the length. Hope you have fun in Paldea, Jaiden!

[@ayleth891]

The reason Professor Turo needed a duplicate was because his wife, Professor Sada, left him for going off the deep end. The books in the research stations give backstory
