PokéTuber Reacts to Jaiden's "Darkest Pokémon Game"

[@JJ-ml7pq]

“That man has skipped leg day FROM BIRTH.” Lmao that cracked me up. I think it was the delivery and timing, lol- spot on.

[@Shadamyfan-rs8xc]

I find it interesting that colosseum and gale of darkness are apparently not very popular or well known, when basically every poketuber I ever watched has talked about/knows about/played these games. And lots of people seem to care about them as well. Am I wrong in this assumption?

[@shaidreamcast5141]

I totally agree. I always see people talk about how obscure they are, but anyone who's played Pokémon seems to know about the GameCube games

[@Dusxio]

I think it's because those who know about it are already pokemon fans. The average gamer would be aware of the mainline games, but the Colosseum side series is something only a portion of pokemon fans played.

[@sylvy16]

people who grew up and played those game talk about them, those who didn’t don’t. Also they came out on a very unsuccessful console so not that many people could’ve even played it.

[@peachiequeen3897]

I love Colosseum and XD. They were actually the first Pokémon games I ever played

[@theshadowdraguin7177]

I mean, of course poketubers will talk about it. Their whole thing is pokemon, and thus they will know about and have played most of the pokemon games that have come out. And the same goes for major fans of pokemon in general. But, how many Non-poketubers talk about it is a key missing detail. Sure some do, but no where near the same level as non-poketubers talking about Gen 1 and other mainline games. It isn't very well known to the casual pokemon fans which is much greater in number than major fans.

[@Elwood7X]

My favorite line in the game is during the Phenac City takeover where a Cipher Peon disguised as Justy says he disguised himself as Justy to impress the ladies, except all the ladies in town are currently disguised Cipher Peons too, so there was no point.

I mean the main story is great, but after that it's such a marathon to the end. I CAN NOT be the only one who felt like it was a grind to do all of the lord's story.

I also played this as a kid-before getting into the main series proper with Diamond-but as I’ve grown up, I’ve also come to appreciate the better AI. Like, in mainline, you more or less just smack everyone for supereffective damage and win; very rarely do opponents have strategies, and even then it’s more just Whitney using Rollout (doesn’t really count, does it) or every notable Kingdra screwing with accuracy or evasion (which, in actual competitive, is very illegal). Not so in XD: many trainers actually build their teams around proper strategies, things you might actually see people do if you go into Gen 3 doubles. And what do you know, it makes for a far more interesting game. I really wish mainline AI would get that kind of upgrade. I also wish mainline would do double battles as standard like XD did, wanted that since I first played it.

I am literally in the middle of replaying Pokémon XD right now! I finished Colosseum a few weeks ago and moved on to XD. I’ll have to come back and watch this when I’m finished coz I’m enjoying playing these without much memory of what happens

[@Gummysora]

Honestly I always tell my friends about these games, they are so overlooked! I still have my pokemon colosseum and XD, they are my favourite games and always will be for pokemon!

[@seandaniels7938]

I used to think all poketubers knew each other but seeing Mike fan boy for jaden is great

[@EnderLlamas]

Been avoiding watching it so I could watch your reaction to it! Can’t wait to watch it

[@MythirVT]

Pokemon XD was the first game I ever owned as a kid, so seeing the love in recent years is soooo cool. Makes me want to get a GameCube with this duology again. Relive the past.

[@realrayruby]

I still remember watching your original playthrough it is still one of my favorite series's of all time. Joules was the best

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

She did make a video about her personally which didn’t actually have to do with Pokémon, but it was still extremely informative and I think it was great of her to get so personal with her audience. The video I’m talking about is “Being not straight” where Jaiden says she’s AroAce and goes over what that means.

[@LisaVGG]

Never thought you would react to another Jaiden vid cause of your rule, but it’s cool that this one got picked

[@kidneyliver]

Gonzap be rocking that One Piece physique

[@ultragod47]

mikey just fangirling pokemon xd throughout the video is hilarious

[@DogIsCat-Kitten]

Jaiden: Michael is now Jaiden. Michael: And I took that personally.

[@jameslawrenceoei3857]

THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO JAIDEN AGAIN

[@jameslawrenceoei3857]

also don't be sad of jaiden changing the main characters name when your first letter of your name can be called: Metagross

[@Krissydoll11]

This made me want to go watch your playthrough of this again, ah the memories!

[@tacticabbage]

FLICK YOU BOT

[@Dartkitten]

If you still have it, id like to see team sky or grunty boy play the game.

[@blueflameboi]

People: XY was the first 3D Pokémon game Colosseum: I’m I a joke to you

[@funtimegaming7582]

I think it’s funny when Inn Jaden animations video, the cyber grant takes off his mask, which was just another mastic underneath it that looked exactly the same and the dog in the butterfly that was funny.

[@ElectroPikachu]

Been wanting to see more people playing Colosseum and XD. Heck, I've been wanting to play them myself

[@aerosnow9176]

If they remade this and collosum I'd love to play them

[@pokemenagerie9]

12:53... but... but... but gen 2? Mikey, what about Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heartgold, and Soulsilver? They're sequels to gen 1.

[@BJGvideos]

One of the few, not the only

[@pokemenagerie9]

@@BJGvideos I know right, how could he forget gen 2, not just BW2 and XD, there have been other sequels in the franchise.

[@starfoxsmash7002]

Colosseum and XD were 2 of the first Pokemon games I played. In fact, I remember watching my uncle (my mom's youngest brother) play them on his GameCube. I was new to Pokemon at the time, so I didn't understand anything about type matchups or movesets. I just used whatever Pokemon and moves I liked. I've gained a better understanding of those things in recent years. (Specifically starting with Black and White.)

[@levelmaster2]

I'll be honest. With the Purify Chamber first playthrough; never realized you could purified them there. I litterally took them back to Agate Village every single time. It wasn't till Luigi needed purifying that I could do it at the chamber
