Thank you for watching the videos, this year was rough for a lot of reasons but despite everything all your support really helped me end mine on a positive note. I'm very greatful for all the people around me be it the team, my friends, and whoever enjoys the videos, and I'm excited about what we can achieve this next year :)

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.

[@palathaxx]

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!

[@nerdycookiebunny856]

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.

EVERY TIME

[@deceptionmyguy8305]

I can see now that when people get into Nuzlocke’s, they get so into the game and their beloved pokemon that they worked so hard on that they cannot accept a defeat. They didn’t want to fail. They didn’t want the worst things to happen, and losing a nuzlocke is such an emotional loss for other people cause they can grow attached to their team just like how people grow attached to their beloved pets who always helped them go through a lot of things. Tbh I would cry, even if it’s just a game. My team is the only team I want to win. I do not want to go through the acceptance of losing everything… And maybe it’s something I will have to do, is to take a defeat…. And start over

So for anyone confused about the whole giratina timeline jazz I’ll explain. In the nuzlocke during the stream Jaiden had lost half her team while fighting the elite 4 and held a poll during the stream where she would restart from the Pokémon Center in front of the elite 4 this is why she kept seeing flashbacks those are the Pokémon who died during those fights.

Crits also are the thing that keep Nuzlockes challenging because a pro player would otherwise just strategize and play around everything with little to no real risk.

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.

I personally liked this video because according to the other comments. Jaiden lost her first attempt in the Pokémon league and the corruption edits are from the jaiden that fell off the distortion world’s perspective. I loved that because it is showing the people who didn’t watch the stream. Also the picture shows the team dead,burnt, or some other fatality Edit: Holy Moly! Thanks For The Likes

[@karlywilson4980]

hahahaahahahahaahahaaaahaha

I find it interesting she gives you a Togepi egg and then has a Togekiss on her team later. Maybe she's trying to hint that Togekiss is a pretty good Pokemon and is hoping it'll give you a fighting chance?

[@alexai7770]

El me MWAH

[@the24thcolossusjustchillin39]

Agreed

[@Moonstar79]

Not even joking, the emotional scenes with the glitching and deaths were just fantastically animated and acted, props Jaiden. Literally got chills on the Elite 4 Edit: The ending was just explained to me. In the story version of what happened (aka this video as opposed to the stream) she did die a few times, which is when things glitched. The first time was in the other dimension, where she was originally split into a second person in a second timeline. I can't help but think it's really creative and cool to turn "my chat wanted me to keep going even though I lost lmao" into "there's a separate timeline where everything went wrong." That's a big factor in why this is my fav Jaiden animations vid so far. Jaiden, congrats on growing as an amazing storyteller, and the team, y'all are the true madlads :D

Okay, here’s what actually happened, and this may explain why she felt this way: While doing the Elite Four, Jaiden’s Togekiss died to a crit OHKO Stone Edge from Aaron’s Heracross and her Quagsire died to a crit OHKO Earthquake from Bertha’s Rhyperior. Blaming it on RNG, Jaiden declared the attempt a loss, but wanted to restart at the Elite Four to try and reach Cynthia. She put a poll on her Twitch chat to get opinions, and 70% of her viewers were okay with it. Original Jaiden wiped to Flint while alternate Jaiden became champion.
