It took me 900 hours to make this... | Animated Pokemon Nuzlockes

Pokemon Nuzlocke videos have been some of the most rewarding videos that I have made on my channel. They have also been some of the most challenging demanding projects. I thought that my audience would like to know what goes into the making of an animated Pokemon Nuzlocke Video, because it is a lot. The process is interesting and a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy learning about it in this video

As someone who wants to go into the art field as a scriptwriter and graphic designer, this is a BIG help to my knowledge and self-esteem as I always do the same things you do. So I am VERY happy that I saw this in my notifications. All I can really say is, THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

No matter how long it takes to animate a Pokémon Nuzlocke, we all still enjoy it. Just take all the time you need when it comes to animating videos and try not to rush things. And like you said when it comes to playing a Nuzlocke, just have fun.

[@LarryVLe874]

Yeah have fun with it little tofu man

[@lordcooler1703]

Wow... I had no idea that so much work went into animating a Nuzlocke video. Wait, Giratina... ARE YOU PLANNING TO CHALLENGE JAIDEN FOR THE THRONE AS THE SINNOH CHAMPION??? ... Because, if you are, I hope you catch a Burmy and evolve it into a Mothim to use in the Nuzlocke. And name him something epic, like... STEVE!!!

for people that missed it, at the end in the giratina scene, a base64 code pops up for a couple of frames, and the code translates to: "I exist beyond what is known". but thats just a theory, a tofu theory?

Wow. I knew animation takes a lot of time but it's crazier when you know all the details. I'm gonna enjoy your videos even more now. Really interesting how it's done. Not mindblowing but still. makes you feel different if you didn't upload a new video for a long time.

young yong tales was on of my first and favorite youtubers and unlike o mnay youtubers nowadays his content stays being amazing and just some of the best stuff I have ever watched

[@LemurFrenzy212]

I love seeing behind the scenes for things, especially for animations so I've loved watching this! Gotta appreciate the effort you've put into your nuzlocke vids, it's crazy. Can't wait to see more in the future! Best piece of tofu I know

[@BlueyGaming48-]

Idk if it’s an editing mistake or whatever, but it’s kinda funny there’s just a random clip of Armaldo smashing a Noivern with pointy rocks to ground at 10:01

Mad respect for you and others who create this kind of labor-intensive content! It's crazy how much work goes into it. Like, I knew there was a lot, but listening to it all listed out, you *really* realise. Kudos to you! And they both turned out so amazingly, so everyone involved should be proud 😊

[@Ladida320]

Honestly love the animators of KZbin, they're doing all this work and putting out content for viewers, stuff which ain't easy or fast and really no one is telling them that HAVE too. They just are. So good on y'all for being awesome!

Giratina's cry, coming out and glitching the screen a %age of the time... = my guess: Pokémon Platinum nuzlocke. pretty sure im not the only 1 to guess though. A toast to all the tofutastic work this Bug Master has done with his co. 🍾🥂

[@montyeggman3075]

I'm currently trying to write about some of my recent Pokemon playthroughs, and doing just that is hard enough. So the fact that you can do that AND animate it is quite amazing. Also, I cannot believe that I never made the connection with your Centiscorch's introduction to the scene where Yugi summons Slifer for the first time. 😅

[@AtomicNimbus]

Dude, thank you for making this video. I love your style and I love your work. I’ve always wanted to get into animation, but never knew where to start but this really help me figure out where I need to go much love and keep doing what you’re doing🤙

[@ChaosguardianDr]

Ok, since he still doesn't answer what does Giratina's appearance means, i will guess, that someone really liked Jaiden's platinum nuzlock and wanted to reference it. Also this looks like a foreshadowing for his own pokemon platinum nuzlock? Hmmmmmmmm?

thank you for the input or the behind the scene process of these videos, really informative and shows how much effort and work were put on these videos. i was thinking of doing one for my channel too but for someone who's just starting and has very little following, i'm not sure if it's worth it. thanks for inspiring a lot of pokemon artists!

[@FrancineDominiqueSolis-sq4ov]

"I'll choose whatever sounds more fun" yes! As you should! Thank you for these amazing videos 😊

[@mysticfox9718]

I know that making animation videos take a long time, but from watching this video. But I guess I just didn’t think HOW long long it takes to make just ONE animation video! Especially if it’s a Nuzlocke one! I love how Yong uses different styles like the battle styles and music from the different animes he watches. It adds a nice touch.

[@luigidisanpietro3720]

As an insect lover, what can you say about the following: 1.) Ticks 2.) Mosquitoes 3.) Nothing, coz having two is awkward.

[@Karomix3]

I'm glad you like doing Pokemon Nuzlockes so much. Don't worry about having to go by all the rules, many do have a spin on them and stuff so it's different for everyone, the 2 most important rules are you name your pokemons and if they faint they die and you can't use them again. Some do skip around having the same pokemon twice, like if you catch a Ledyba and it faints as a Ledian you can catch a Ledian cause you didn't catch one technically since it was a Ledyba and not a Ledian when you caught it, you can have some loopholes. Some go extra hard by having all pokemons randomized, including starters pokemon and all the trainers (including gym leaders, elite four and champion). Just keep having fun doing them and keep up the good work, you work hard enough and your videos are so worth the wait. Also glad to see you jamming to League of Legends songs.

[@naterobinson2487]

12:40 Oh you clever block of Tofu... I Heard those Mothra sounds by the end! very clever of you to do the same as the Anime has done! Context: Sometimes in the anime, they would reuse the roars and screeches of various monsters from the Godzilla franchise and beyond for some of the legendries that appear!

I find when you are doing a type lock it's just better to allow yourself to catch the same species just different evolutions. Especially when you only have a handful of that type in the game.

You put in a lot of hard work, and it is amazing. And do your nuzlockes in the way that brings the most fun. And I haven't looked at all the theories, so I don't know if anyone's said this, but I wonder if you're gonna do a soul link nuzlocke with Jaiden over the fact you've both wiped and made it part of the story, making a new reality and thus now have to deal with the consequences.
