Reacting To Jaiden Animations Darkest Pokemon Game 

Pokémon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness needs a Switch Remake

Watched her video, watched Mikey’s reaction, maybe another reaction, and I’m just now realizing maybe the backhanded Eevee compliment was because he was afraid of Jaiden’s mother finding out about giving compliments and it was the only way he could commend her battling skills.

I really like Jaiden's sense of humor. It's a bit different from most content creators, and it's pretty refreshing.

i love that john had the same thought process that mikey did when jaiden said and changed the characters name

John should absolutely play both of these. I look forward to his reaction to the first Colisseum cutscene.

“Why would Lugia bring the cruise ship to the desert?” Because that’s the last place you’d look for a missing cruise ship. 🚢 😂

John, you absolutely need to play both Coliseum and Gale of Darkness! I never played them growing up either for the same reason but they are just so good! The fact she doesn't say the key feature is that every battle is a double battle in both games, which I get can be polarizing, is just the chef's kiss to me. It forces you to think a little harder in each battle. Especially when shadow Pokemon become a thing and you want to catch them.

So about those "inconsistencies" such as characters pointing to the middle of the desert, they are all explained within this game; generally speaking, characters who faced Cipher back in Colosseum have been keeping an eye on their old lab and such - pretty sure that's why Krane made the new snag machine, cuz they knew Cipher was becoming active again 6:49 Damn, that USUM slander! I've always loved those games as some of my favorites, but I suppose it isn't for everyone; I hold BW, HGSS, and USUM as my top 3... though actually, I guess I hold PLA at the top now Either way, that isn't me trying to argue or anytjing, obviously opinions will differ. I love Colosseum and XD to death as well - probably my favorite spinoffs besides PMD Explorers of Sky - so I'm glad to see them get more attention

You should totally play Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness! They are really fun and different, and the battles through the game really require more thought and skill than typical, especially when trying to catch the Shadow Pokemon in the middle.

Colosseum and XD are considered by many to be the hardest games that are connected to the main series. You would love them. Maybe stream them after you catch all the shinnies in legends?

Team Snag'em are basically just callbacks to the previous game in the set. They were one of the main antagonists there.

We need a back to back play through ASAP; I need to see John react to more of the crazy things that happen in these games

Gale of darkness wasn't the first official Pokémon media to present in-universe battle sims; in the OG anime, specifically the episode “school of hard knocks”, the titular school is mentioned to have one.

I would 100% be down for watching a series of you playing both Colosseum and XD.

john: i don't have a gamecube me: ME TOO

I would LOVE to see John with his competitive knowledge go through Colosseum and XD. I struggled even with a guide with Colosseum as a kid, because I was a kid, and it'd be great to see how someone as seasoned as him handles the double battles but also trying to catch the shadow Pokemon. Maybe make a run where he HAS to catch every shadow Pokemon plus Nuzlocke rules?

You could ask Mikey about it he has done a play through of it I love XD

to give credit to chobin. when he fights you in the groudon, his team is the best it could be. his gyarados? it has no water moves that can be weakened by sunny day, which his sunflora has, alongside solar beam. but the best part? He is using a sun team while cosplaying as a groudon. That is hilarious. well done gamefreak

Dude, Coliseum and DX need to have playthroughs from you, they are a real treat

The hau overlay as he's talking about annoying things in pokemon had me do a spit take and then cry laughing 🤣

@6:08 Yes, he’s still alive. “In Honor of” refers to people alive. “In Memory of” refers to people who are no longer living. Hope you can remember the difference.

Gale of Darkness was my first ever Pokémon game, so it was a big surprise when I found a used ruby cartridge at my local GameStop and saw the mainline games were completely different. My favorite games will still always be ranger though and I hope a new one comes out soon.

You should watch Mikeys playthrough on this game and team snagum played a bigger role in collosium

Snag'em was mostly there as fan service. They were in the first game, the MC blows up their base and steals the Snag Machine from them in the opening cutscene.

Wow! A reaction video with actual _reactions!_ Lol I subbed immediately

I've always wondered, is John always stood up in his new setup because it looks a lot like it?

100% would love to see you play both Colosseum and Gale of Darkness!

I love how Jaiden doesn't need to tell us about every pokemon she gets and adds to her team, because she trusts people watching to be able to just see the pokemon she has illustrated alongside her character and know that those are the pokemon she is using. It bothers me how often content creators feel the need to overexplain everything as if the people watching don't have eyes or can't read. :)

Pokémon Battle Revolution is probably the closest we’re going to get to a Pokémon battle simulator.

I would love for you to play these games. I would watch every second of it. Waiting for a remake of the games on switch would be ideal but that's probably not gonna happen any time soon

Jaiden has a point about Gale of Darkness being overshadowed by Colosseum, but Colosseum has better characters, better plot, cooler character design, better music, and much more Miror B. GIVE THE FUNKY LUDICOLO MAN THE SCREENTIME HE DESERVES!!! And there's no Jovi. That fact alone immediately boosts Colosseum leagues ahead of Gale of Darkness.

Several things Jaiden overlooked. 1) the purifying stone only works one shadow pokemon at a time, and you need to lower their shadow gauges individually. Which means you are constantly switching your pokemon throughout the game. One of the downsides of Colosseum really. The machine the lab is making lets you purify multiple pokemon at a time the more pokemon you capture. By the time you reach the halfway mark, you're purifying 9 at a time. 2) Miror B finds any shadow pokemon you might have beaten, allowing you a second chance at snagging them, where in Colosseum its gone forever unless its a boss. 3) you don't need to snag greevil's team all at once. You can go back and snag them one at a time if you want.

This had to be one of my favorite games. Lol. I love this.

I'd love to see a let's play of this with Mikey, since it's his favorite.

I would absolutely watch Jon do a play through of this game. His energy is too much fun

You should definitely play Pokémon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness! Colosseum is the first game and XD takes place after it! They were both great games that I’m sure you’ll love (plus the characters are crazy 😂)

Love the video keep them up. love u John (the easily flustered)

I want to see footage of Jaiden recording herself for this video saying *“Crank!”*

"IF you SOMEHOW haven't watch it yet" he said

Play them pure first. Attempting challenge runs of games with highly limited options as it is can be nightmarishly hard, that said I think a randomised version of either one could be fun, seeing something other than teddiursa as the first shadow option in XD would be a treat but I have neither the emulator/ROM/knowhow to do so

i love how he says pokemon needs a battle sim and yet colosseum last i checked was one haha

We need John to play both coliseum and gale of darkness on his channel

It would be awesome to start with the first game so we can see your raw reactions to it.

If you played Pokemon Colosseum and then Gale of Darkness I would happily watch it on repeat for like 3 straight days!

I sometimes wish Pokemon side games would get remakes!

I'd enjoy seeing the John Guy go through Colosseum and/or XD Gale of Darkness.

I enjoy the modern games but I love XD with a passion. The animations might be a little dated but they have so much more character than the newer games. The way Houndoom throws a flamethrower is completely different from how Arcanine throws one and that is true for every move and every mon. It is a treat

Definitely should play them on the plays channel. they're fun games. mikey can vouch for it.

I love that Shadow Pokemon continue to live on in Pokemon go

Please play one of them, will be a pleasure to see you play one of those games.

1:17 finally someone noticed that. All the other people that watched the video never noticed

He is basically master of goku but worse because he has the worst of the abilities,powers and tecniques

There's a separate battle SIM at Realgam Tower, the lady gives you "disks" to use (btw the whole millionth visitor thing is fake, not because of Cipher, but another NPC mentions they were the millionth visitor too)

I would love too see a collab let’s play with Mikey maybe your guys version of a soullocke without the perma death for Mikey obvs😂

Most of the desert locations are old bases from the first game. The ship was accidently dropped by Lugia. It is easier to understand the story of XD by playing the first game.

Yes play the game. I would definitely enjoy seeing a playthrough of that

Please a playthrough of either would be incredible, its so campy and fun

I love the posters behind you.

14:52 Why does he look like the Elmo fire meme-

would love to see ya do a full playthrough of this game

Thanks for the the great content jhon

0:48 Sign 1: Want to battle? TAKE IT OUTSIDE. Sign 2: MISSING BIKE 🚲 CALL MISTY

3:23 well acually there is pokemon showdown as a battle simulator

YES! You need to play Colosseum and XD! Miror B. has different music in the games. Also, every psuedo-legendary from gen 1-3 and most of the legendaries from gens 1 and 2 are in the games. You can get... Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres along with Shadow Lugia in XD Raikou, Entei and Suicune along with Moltres (post game) in Colosseum Only ones you can't get are Mew, Mewtwo and Celebi. ...wow, really makes you realize how few legendary mons were in gens 1 and 2. Oh, and you can get the Gen 2 starters in Colosseum.

I absolutely recommend Colosseum and XD. XD more so, since Colosseum has a few… questionable design choices (it’s not bad, not by a long shot)

"It would be cool if Pokemon released a Pokemon Battling Simulator" Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Stadium 2, and Pokemon Battle Revolution: "Are we just jokes to you?"

Colosseum and XD were the first two pokemon games I ever played.

"Pokemon, rawr". Anyone that gets the reference to one of John and Mikey's shiny challenges, good job.

0:42 This reminds me of John and Michael talking about this in "First to Have a Team of Legendaries Wins" video. And they bust out laughing at that time

John my boy hold up… where you get that fantastic art in the background I need that in my game room

Jaiden and John, the ultimate comedic duo.

Snagem were the bad guys in colosseum, that’s why they have that little cameo moment in XD

She kind of glosses over it, but the snag machine let's you steal people's Pokemon in this game. There are actually no wild Pokemon anywhere And I'm, like, 60% sure the lady who sends you to gamble is a Cipher agent just distracting you while they take the city

YES i’d love to see a playthrough of XD!

Dude, you have to play Colosseum and XD, I’d love to see that on your channel, plus I think you’d have fun with the games

Yes john plz do a series on colosseum and XD they’re amazing games

Waiting for the day that Pokémon conquest is revealed under the ashes

The opposite of Kisses: CRIME

For villains they are anything but pushovers other than their battling prowess

Those are crazy games and I can guarantee you will enjoy them. Kinda surprised Mikey hasn't been hounding you to try them 🤣

Please do play both Coliseum and Gale of Darkness their amazing. Wish I still had both these games and my GameCube

Like how he knew nothing about this game and then did not catch the important fact about Shadow Pokemon that being that they are so abused they become evil and hate everything and it’s the players job to be friends with them and helpfully purify them

tvat one moment when u hit ur foot again ur bed-

Strongly strongly recommend playing both Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness!! the Shadow Pokemon games are absolute classics, they have a lot of charm to them

Team Snagem is a cute reference to Colosseum, they're more important in that game.

You got to admit tho, Jaiden somehow made herself look good when she’s playing as a boy.

Yeah! You should do an XD play through.

Jaiden makes a fair point... Jovi makes Jar Jar Binks look like a charming and engaging character with depth of character and epic lines...

I never owned a GameCube so it took me over a decade to play coliseum and XD and it was worth that wait. It's only behind explorers of the Sky for favorite Pokemon games.

Yes, absolutely play Colosseum!! It’s fantastic and it’s very unique

If I was Greevil and someone just stole my Shadow Lugia, I'd just pull out a glock.

Hahaha...this was fun to watch because I love to watch Jaiden animations

3:15 ... bro.... We've had like 3. The Pokemon Stadium games?

Team Snagem were the main villains in Colosseum along with Cipher

I NEED a lets play series of Coliseum! Please!!

Some context for the sand compound. I am pretty sure it was a main base in the first game and was taken out by the mc.

PM7: batteling simulator doesnt exist Pokemon Stadium: Am i a joke to you?

Yes please play Pokémon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. I would like to watch you play them.

Knowing the exact locations on the desert actually kind of makes sense, if you live near a desert and travel through it you need to know how to map locations on it.

they did make simulators. WAAAAY back when. Pokemon Stadium on N64, Stadium 2 on Gamecube (colosseum as bonus inclusion) and Battle Revolution on wii
