100 Days in a Pokémon Nuzlocke: The Anime 

This is by far the most time I've spent on anything in my life, so I hope yall enjoy! 4 months of editing & 119 drawings that I'll put on Twitter: twitter.com/moxie2d Watch as much as you can for the algorithm & subscribe, coz we're back

The difference I can notice between you and other nuzlockers is that you actually care for your Pokémon so nicknaming them actually matters, others who put up nuzlockes seems to not care completely at which point you could just skip the nicknaming process altogether.

The part with the Revival Blessing legitimately almost made me cry. This is a masterpiece.

Poor Moxie-kun. Losing his Pokémon to his sister, and then his version of the universe just collapsing.

This is the FIRST ever time ive EVER cried during someones pokemon nuzlocke this was so sweet. Your awesome,This was awesome, and most definetely a fricken masterpeice.

The moment with the bisharp driving is utterly the best thing of all time I swear

Can we all take a moment to respect that anime intro the amount of care and effort that was put into that was outstanding

The fact that you used Rolling Girl as the OP, is amazing, but this was absolutely INSANE to watch and I love it!

The part where Charlie waved bye for the last time legit made me tear up, this is so good 😢

OK. I know this will be spoilers, but HOLY CRAP why is the scene with Mango so heart breaking?!

"It's a nuzlocke", some of the most heartbreaking words to be found in any nuzlocke video. Only halfway through, but so great so far, Moxie. I can see the inspiration you take from Jaiden's nuzlockes, and you are really telling a fantastic story. Well done, bro, I knew it was worth the wait!

The part with Moxie-kun turning to crystals legitimately made me tear up. It was just all so good

Ok, I can't contain this any longer: I NEED to talk about Jade. EASILY my favorite character in the Moxieverse so far. It honestly isn't even close. Senpai started to get there with her 1-6 win against Volo, as well as Greg... well, just being Greg, before you showcased one of the most creatively fleshed out and introspective characters I have ever seen in a feature film. Allow me to explain why. From the start of the game, we know two things about Jade: she's a cat, and she's a starter. Cats are, by their nature, very attention-seeking and vain. On top of that, the starter of a Nuzloke is... well, the star. The shining example that all other Pokemon must follow. Oftentimes, they're the first Pokemon that have their friendship maxed out, because they're the ones you spend the most time with. Jade was exactly that. She was the spearhead of the team, the glue holding them all together. Now, I can't speak for her myself (for obvious reasons), but I imagine she was happy with everything just the way it was. And then you dare to ask the question: "What happens when you take Jade, and put her in a position where she is no longer the only star?" As you explained in one of your shorts, Jade was not happy with the arrival of Charlie. For obvious reasons. He was a second starter, he was a fire type of all things, and to top it off, he was kinda stupid looking. What other reason did she need to not like him? But, after a while, they got to know each other a bit more. While others were dying around them left and right, they survived. Charlie, behind his blank stare and questionable design, was a kind soul that wasn't afraid to take a STAB aqua step if it meant his friends could see the light of day again. By the time they had ascended to their final forms, they were the best of friends. They had been through so much. They had lost so many friends out of nowhere. But at least they still had each other. And then it happens. I cannot imagine how this must have felt to poor Jade. The one person that was a constant in her life, the one person that she could rely on. And it wasn't just him. Bob, the one thing that kept the run from a rampaging mammoth. Poopie, who had been here as long as Charlie. Alex, their one chance to get out of this fight alive. But above it all was Charlie. The starter that was never meant for this universe, the flammable crocodile that she grew so dear to, was gone, scattered to the ashes that he himself created. But then... there was a small glimmer of hope. One small all-or-nothing shot to correct the mistakes that had been made. Mango lays his little paws on Charlie's lifeless body, with Jade's peace of mind relying on this one chance... And it doesn't work. Charlie was dead. There was no undoing that. But that didn't mean his wishes died with him, and she carried that with her now, it the form of the little bird that was always with him. Maybe i'm more emotionally sensitive than I think, but this part really got to me. Seeing Jade cope with the trauma of losing someone who meant so much to her, bolstered by the sad yet determined look on her face at 46:54, was really powerful. Of the 5 times i've rewatched this film, this part broke me during 4 of them. Another detail I really love is that, whether unintentional or not, after this happened, not a single other Pokemon died throughout the run. It really drives home how hard this hit not just for Jade, but for the entire team. The elite four, the trash champion (unless you happen to be playing with a single pawmi, in which case she's a nightmare), even Nemona couldn't shatter their resolve. During the Sada fight, when Alexis was about to take a boosted stone edge to the face, I could almost imagine Jade whispering under her breath "Don't you dare die on us, Alexis. Don't you dare bring dishonor to Charlie's wish." The greatest part about all of this is that, judging by how much i've just written, someone who hasn't watched this might think that there's pages upon pages of story showcased clearly in the video, but there isn't. This tragic story of love and loss, of coming to terms with death, and becoming a better person through it, is told through a few colorful drawings and an hour or two of edited gameplay. It's one of the most beautiful uses of "show, don't tell" in any story i've seen. The moment where she takes off her mask and stares into the horizon, finally accepting the burden she's taken on, it feels like the end of not only the Scarlet and Violet story, but also the story of the little cat that changed everything. It was absolutely amazing. So yeah... that's Jade. An amazingly fleshed out and well developed character that'll stick with me for many years to come. Call her furry bait if you want, chat. I'll never stop loving this jester cat.

I've been waiting for this video for ages and it did not disappoint!! The artwork is amazing and I love your style. The day 5 fight against the rival gave big "Objective: Survive" energy.

I was a fool to think "Hey, this wouldn't be as an emotional rollercoaster as the Arceus Run right?" AND HERE I AM! IN TEARS, HAVING MY COMFORT FOOD AND DRINK, AND ABSOLUTELY RECKED EMOTIONALLY! Moxie should direct a Pokemon movie, i swear to Arceus!

I didn't know I needed this video, until I saw it today. I cried, I laughed, I clapped. Thank you.

Bro you’re such a good story teller, even just the Terapagos lore you made up had me on the edge of my seat, too bad the actual lore is just “he fell into an earthquake and slept for a million years”

"Here comes the anime opening" OMG, so amazing! I love the depth you've got in everyone's eyes!

1:28:33 Moxie: "At this point my eyes were peeled for a shiny" Also Moxie: misses a clearly shiny rookidee

Creating a video that, in this length, that is indeed like a movie in length, structure and emotional investment is incredible. Second time through I again felt so much emotion, its crazy. You should be very proud in what you have achieved here!

This was the best cinematic experience combined with Pokémon ever. The adventure, the absolute thrill, the art pieces and the emotional moments. Even the Pokémon fire red flashbacks hit me HARD. I genuinely was on the verge of crying a quarter through the video. This was insane Moxie, literally thank you SO much for this experience. I got actual goosebumps, I cried, I laughed, just WOW

Moxie, I know that this comment will get lost in the storm, but I sincerely love your method of storytelling. It always invokes an incredible wave of emotions. I sincerely wish you the best in life and look forward to seeing all of your future endeavors.

the fact he didn't guess the robot twist and was pogging all the way through was so wholesome

Im not ashamed to say.. when Moxie-chan slowly walked back with Charlie's bird and jade teared up.. my heart broke. I cried, thank you Moxie.

"a final one hail to Charlie and Bob Lords of Might and pyre may your friends now be the bearers to see this through with all your hearts desires" this sentence hit me hard

such a cinematic masterpiece. this is more than nuzlocke, it’s a story

The foreshadowing is so amazing in this… and terrifying

I told myself I wasn't gonna cry But man, the part with the whole revival blessing absolutely broke me Best nuzlocke video I ever watched, ♾️/10

Actual tears have been shed. Laps around my room have been taken. Shouts of "No!" and "Yes!" and "Damn you Moxie!" have been resounded in my walls. This is SPECTACULAR beyond all belief, dude.

This is the most compelling pokemon 100 days playthrough/animation. The part where Mango tried to revive Charly is the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. The anime song was the best too! Thank you for Jade for being such a brave pokemon and for the rest of the team for staying strong even in the hardships you and your team faced. Moxie you and your team are truly the best and bravest heroes I've ever seen. I hope that the pokemon that sadly perished find a better place where they battle play and eat together. Thank you for the best experience I have ever seen in my life. Rest in peace to the brave pokemon that had fought along side you... I loved every second of it. Edit: Keep doing what you love! Fight and draw more pokemon as its world expands! From a random commenter.

You can tell how much effort he puts into this. Well done. You deserve it.

Oh jeez that Revival Blessing scene… I haven’t cried at any anime or anime style art or anything but that- that made me cry… 😭

I can't help myself I just have to keep commenting. Those short insights from Moxie's actual life and his bond with Pokémon are so relatable it's incredible.

This was more emotional than I thought. R.I.P. Charly and Bob. the true VIP's in this run. And revival blessing reviving the run and not the pokemon was more storytelling than any anime I've watched

Why... Why must you stab my heart EVERY nuzlock... The bird... The friends... The family... I'm not okay😭😭😭

I love moxies story telling. He knows what points to hit and how to give you the chills and put you in the feels. That part where he made us think he was gonna revive Charlie and then did the huge fake out and then the girl crying was so goof

This is peak nuzlocke content. The storytelling, the comedy, everything just comes together perfectly. I can't lie this is probably one of my favourite videos on RU-vid right now. Props to you Moxie!

I was a fool to think I couldn't cry to something like this. It in fact has made me cry. I loved every bit of this video but the fact that I cried. I thank you mox. You've truly made a masterpiece

Fuck. I full cried on the revival section, not just a little tearing up. That was beautiful. Really amazingly well done.

the storytelling the art just fricken amazing.

I have not legitimately cried in a long time, but the story arc with Charlie crushed me. What an amazing story teller

Bro I was CRYING my eyes out when it was the revival blessing part. I forgot it was a nuzlocke when they all died so i didn't care but then I looked at the title and tears came down my face.

This is probably one of the best Pokemon nuzlockes I've never seen

Yes we’ve all been waiting for this it will be a masterpiece

Dude. Not only did you get me crying in the club, you then hit me with one HELL of a deep cut in Act 3. This was definitely worth the wait and I hope it pops tf off.

This video literally made me cry, rest in piece, Bob the hero, and Charlie, that loveable guy really made me cry.

Man i almost cried during charlies death especially with the drawings and the parallels between charlie and jade i have never felt this in a nuzlocke before an absolute masterpiece Edit: i did cry rewatched charlies death and alongside moxie-kuns "death" all for the sake of protecting charlies friends made me cry and watched some other vids that made me cry more top tier vid

I don’t think I ever expected to cry in a Pokémon play through

No Moxie, thank you for giving us one hell of a ride. The ups, downs, triumphant victories, crushing defeats, and all the moments in between. Truly a one of a kind masterpiece. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

wasn’t expecting to get super nostalgic over rolling girl while watching a pokémon nuzlocke,, this looks fantastic already

Thats actually cute seeing tinkaton up close and personal thats too cute

That last scene with Moxie-Kun made me near tear up damnit Moxie

Is it bad that I cried at some points? I was so upset when you lost Charlie, and the art and emotion displayed through it was just absolutely awe-inspiring. A perfect mix of comedy and heartfelt moments. Bravo, Moxie-chan. Bravo.

Bro this is too good, I haven't actually cried in a while, but... I just couldn't hold it in. The revival blessing, the nuzlocke universe... 10/10 storytelling Moxie.

DAAAAAMN, THE LORE ANALYSIS AT THE END ACTUALLY BLEW MY MIND🔥🔥🔥

IT'S HERE! Can't believe it's finally out. Good job, Mox.

The bird has a soul that Skeledirge gave it. That soul passed on to Meowscarada and the rest of the team. To continue the run.

I had butterflies in my stomach towards the end. Thank you for creating this great movie for us, it has forever changed how I will look at Pokémon and my play throughs of the games.

40 minutes in, I cannot believe you made me cry over a nuzlocke! You menace, you monster.... such amazing heartfelt editing and drawing went into this, it truly is something special. Thank you!

This story is so beautifully told, that despite not having been part of its live journey, I feel like I have been a part of this adventure as well and can now treasure its memory. Thank you for sharing it with us! It gave such an unique and wholehearted feel to the journey of a Pokémon trainer, I haven't experienced anything like this before. I am looking forward to the possible next chapter of Moxie's adventure may you decide to do the DLC's with such passion as well. It really left me impressed. Your dedication, love and creativity absolutely showed throughout the entirety of the video. Really really well done. I applaud to you Moxie2D.

Dude, I am watching this video for the first time and the amount of heart that you show in this... It's so beautiful that I am literally holding back tears right now! And I'm only 45 minutes in!

I don’t know why it took me so long to finally watch this because oh my GOD I have never been so emotionally invested in a Pokémon video (or probably any video) like this before. The whole arc of the Revival Blessing was such a cool interpretation of it all and the emotions of everything there was just. AGH it’s so COOL!! And don’t think I didn’t notice the many many versions of Megalovania playing throughout here I didn’t realize how well Megalo fit just about everywhere.

mad respect to you for not only doing this, but actually editing it into a video AND drawing your own art for it.

No matter how many times I watch arven’s story, it still makes me wanna cry

THIS IS SO WELL EDITED I have seen so many playthroughs of this game, but this one actually made me cry. That's not something I ever expected from a RU-vid video, or from Pokémon. Even playing the game myself didn't make me feel this way. This video truly is a masterclass in editing

This is my favourite video on RU-vid from a MILE!

That anime intro is some of the best pokemon content I've ever seen! I cant stop rewatching it again and again!

WHY IS THIS SO GOOD BUT ALSO HEARTBREAKING, THE SCENE WITH BABY JADE AND CHARLIE SAYING GOODBYE SHATTERED ME

I’m excited to see Moxie-kun’s side of things lol No but seriously this was so beautifully done. The story, music, editing, art… all of this made me tear up. Your storytelling skills are just PHENOMENAL, Moxie, and I think you ought to be proud. And take a break. Because good god that must’ve taken so fucking long to make.

The Pokémon company: “Bro you want a job?”

Forget matpat this man literally uncovered all the lore to this

I was so lucky to be able to see this live and somehow, Charlie's death STILL made me cry.

As a fellow artist, this is amazing! over 100 drawings to create such a masterpiece was definetly worth it! I legitimatly cried over the Charlie part! And the plot was just magnificent! Absolutely great, keep up the great work Moxie!

Movies don't make me cry, Titanic bores me. But seeing Sprigatito alone next to Moxie break down. o7 to the lads we lost along the way.

I've cried twice already, and I haven't even gotten to act 2 😭😅 This video is made and edited so well

Honestly the game itself nearly got me to cry a couple of times. It’s truly the best story for all the Pokémon games to date. But this gave it a lot more life with illustrations and such. Still an amazing tear jerker, thank you Moxie.

God damn, this is phenomenal storytelling and I'm barely finishing Act 1.

This game and this video were absolutely brimming with personality

This is one of the very few pokemon nuzlockes that made me genuinely cry. The emotional moments were everything and i absolutely love the hype and artwork for this! Love what you do man😁👍

I nearly cried at multiple different points in this--your storytelling is amazing! I don't know how I didn't connect the dots before, but your theory of the Tera crystals (won't spoil) makes SO much sense! I'll be waiting patiently for the next part. Thank you so much for this, Moxie!

Just finished the full video! I watched it in one go and it feels like I just walked out of the cinema… Cinematic masterpiece is what they call that right!? Well done mate, and don’t make my brain hurt again like you did with the final part! 😂❤️

ACT #3. HOW DOES THIS GET ANY BETTER, LIKE OMG THE THEORY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!! This was truly spectacular thank you for this life-changing video.

All pokemon games link into one long story and it’s incredible. We know there are two timelines; one with mega evolutions and one without. We know there was a war in both the timelines. We know in both timelines that people and pokemon fought against each other and then side by side. What we don’t know is how fully it connects. Moxie, you are one of my favorite pokemon youtuber. Your art, your nuzlockes and the way how much you love pokemon. I love it. Thank you.

The revival blessing part made me start bawling

After 7 hours I finally was able to watch this ..I am speechless on how much emotion it has filled me! Every scene was breathtaking and the drawings? They were so fantastic and had a big impact of emotions in them. The story was amazing as well. I TRULY THANK YOU MOXIE FOR MAKING THIS A BANGER MOVIE since it’s 1 hour (almost 2) hours long. I really loved this.

MOXIE’S BACK AND HE’S GONNA SMILE AT CHILDREN

I think we can all agree this is the best nuzlcoke video on youtube

This is absolutely incredible! It’s obvious how much love and work you put into it. You should be so proud! Can’t wait for future content and following you as a creator on RU-vid :)

MOX MAN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AAAHH, you're such a good artist and storyteller

The intro slaps so hard but I have to point out “Special Thanks Mom, Dad, Nan & Pop, Puffcake” 1:56. Moxie we love you and keep up with the amazing art and vids even if they are sometimes months apart I never get tired of waiting

Fuekoko wondering off from one versions to another is hilarious XD

"It's a nuzlocke" I've never been angrier and sadder at 3 words before in my life, bravo Moxie truly amazing story telling only half way through I've laughed cried and enjoyed all the effort put into this amazing. EDIT: (SPOILERS) HE HAS BEEN REBORN !! I know it's a new fuecoco but it is cool at the very end we sort of get the revive we thought we were getting Haha

Just started and this already feels like an anime movie.

THE OPENING TRIGGERED MY VOCALOID ERA ROLLING GIRL 😭

The story telling. The emotion. The ninjas cutting onions. All too good.

Moxie, you’ve evolved as a creator and it’s beautiful to see. I’m only 30 minutes in and I’ve been holding back tears. I’ve been following since the Platinum artlock and I’m so inspired, and even proud watching this. Thank you. This was so worth the wait. I hope it gets the views it deserves.

Bro Act 1 actually made me cry, I can't believe this

Finally got around to watching this today. Just brilliant and beautiful! Loved watching it live and loved watching it even more edited down!

I will never not cry when I watch or play Scarlet and Violet. As janky as it is, this game will always hold a place in my heart because somehow it's just that good. This video did NOT help. I was blubbering like a damn whale by the end of it. Whether it was the story itself, the art, the added story, or the reflections added in between days through Pokémon nostalgia. I'm glad nobody was around to hear me ugly cry to this. But nonetheless, I'm excited to see what you do next Moxie, genuinely. Can't wait to see how right your theories are on August 8th with the next Pokémon Presents 👀 guess we'll see you then. Until then. It's time to draw tribute to this masterpiece.

THE LONG AWAITED
