[@Not_interestEd-]

I'm gonna have a doubt about that one. Pokemon seems to be headed towards a more "kid friendly" direction, so they intentionally use weaker mons in what are supposed to be difficult battles, so the kids can play through them. As for Legends, I think the way the battle system was structured was for older players to learn from, meaning it's a more mature oriented game, meaning Gamefreak might actually be listening to us, and made Legends Arceus harder. Be excited for future Legends games, they might be more difficult.

It's mostly because people who knew DPPT are pretty much adults at this point, a mechanically bullshit but settings wise reasonable throwback with limited consequences (losing the battle you can soft reset from) is a minor inconvenience but fun throwback of nostalgia

This was just SO COOL. This entire game was amazing. This battle took me so many attempts, but I remember being DELIGHTED when he stomped down and recovered. HE HAS A PHASE THREE.

8:41 ttar's reaction always makes me laugh

[@flbreglass]

I come back and watch this vid for the millionth time. The genuine reactions are so awesome and hype

[@primallegends001]

Remember folks: Altered Form Giratina has better defensive stats, which become inverted when it becomes Origin Form. Meaning, it may have been more difficult to take down because of it's bulk in phase 1, but it will now hit like a truck in phase 2

[@Charara999]

From an in-universe perspective, you basically caused Giratina's fight-or-flight response to kick in and in the end it chose to FLEE rather than risk its life any further. Imagine if we had a timelimit to track down Giratina before it fully recovers and it decides to ambush us wherever we are in Hisui. Or if we had the ability to run from this battle, Giratina would start chasing us down relentlessly and not let us escape.

[@WolfSoulXIV]

Several streamers: Well that was easy. Giratina: :sniff sniff: Is that... hubris I smell?

[@dr.drakofly756]

The strong style to flex at the end of phase 1 will always be funny! Most of us did this I'm pretty sure!

[@Terumimi]

ESPECIALLY if it was your last pokemon I vividly rememeber, my typhlosion had barely any hp, did a strong style infernal parade so i could be sure it went down, breathed a sigh of relief.... Only to get slammed in the face by shadow force.

[@dr.drakofly756]

@@Terumimi Same exact thing happened to me!

[@isaanajan]

I love watching these so much. Especially since I was able to defeat it both times on the first run. Togekiss in clutch (I also had a feeling Volos team was like Cynthia’s coz he was giving me we chill but now imma kick your ass Cynthia vibes)

[@TheAuron32]

last time i saw reactions like this was in the FF7 remake Jenova: Dreamweaver battle.

[@someshkadam2441]

3:21 Perfect Timing. Feels like Giratina is sayin F*** u!!

[@alonss2651]

I really love it the difficulty. I beat Volt and 1st Giratina in the first encounter, but after the last form I had to reorganizate my team, cuz I didn't want to use legendaries and after 5 tries, Blissey was my MVP

[@SpectroliteDS]

Poketubers: *assorted mix of celebration, excitement, and relief that it's over* Giratina: *Bish I didn't hear no bell!*

[@GamingWithPatrick87]

No reaction video is complete without ShadyPenguinn lol

[@wooly7098]

3:53 the look of Horror is too funny

[@hessiankyojin]

“Anti-climactic” then gets humbled seconds later.
