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 sfx and the little subtle touches like the glitched text in the Sada battles got me. No wonder it took almost a year to put out! Truly a masterclass in storytelling! And I loved the theory at the end, excited to see how it shakes out.
Nothing but respect for this video moxie. Can't imagine how gruelling the effort was to put so much energy into 1 vid. Congrats and can't wait for more with the dlc
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.
Tyranitartube been nicknaming for the better half of a decade. It's so cool because it provides humour and also allows an actual idea of grief to pass Making it actually a challenge.
@@morganlastiotis2156 TTar is def one of the best nuzlockers content wise. Those extreme randomizers actually make the members feel like real characters
Nuzlockes made me closer to pokemon than I never thought I would be attached to, like Durant in my sword nuzlocke. Sadly sacrificed to Leon’s charizard but he was a UNIT with hustle
he is the true Chad of the run he sacrificed his universe to save Charlie's friends because that is what he would've wanted moxie-kuns "death" and Charlie's death made me actually cry
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.
Woah this honestly was one of the most emotionally written comments I’ve ever read and honestly mad respect to you, you were able to read so much emotion and pain from Jade just by an hour long vid and some art and that’s really impressive mad props to you my friend
"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!
"It's a nuzlocke" is such a simple sentence that holds so much weight. You can love your team,prepare them for anything that might come,but when it comes down to it and luck ran out,they're gone for good. You can beg,you can pray,try to use whatever you can to revive them and maybe it will work. But they're dead,gone for good. The way Moxie designed that scene is so beautifully made,you can see him going through the stages of grief condensed in a few minutes of video,especially the bargaining part with Revival blessing and how it seemed to have worked. But in the end,you just have to accept that some things can't be fixed with a quick"miracle" solution,and that whatever comes out of it,can be great.
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!
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
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.
@@djentity303 the Shoal Cave scene mainly made me cry. Spoilers for the Nuzlocke up ahead: The main thing about it is the profoundness of the moment and the tragedy of the Spheal Team Six being deprived of their innocence due to the agendas of a cold and uncaring organization that uses them for their own purposes. It's only part of it-- words I can come up with can't fully describe the emotions in that moment, really, the only way to fully understand it is to watch it.
"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
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.
@@moxie2D I'll be honest with you moxie, when you said that nemona's love of Pokemon battles possibly ties back to Saiyan heritage, I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO GO ALL IN WITH THAT JOKE AND CONFIRM THAT SAIYANS EXIST IN POKEMON WITH NEMONA TURNING SUPER SAIYAN🤯🤯🤯 then again, you have literal Pokemon going super Saiyan (AKA G R E G) so I guess i should've seen it coming😅😅😅
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.
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.
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”
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
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 CZcams right now. Props to you Moxie!
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.
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 CZcams :)
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 first video of yours ive ever seen, and the first Nuzlocke I've ever cried for. You made me see what its all about, the emotional connection that you grow with these Pokemon, feeling things you never thought you'd feel. Ive never done a Nuzlocke before, but this made me consider doing one...through tears, you just gained a subscriber. You keep doing you 😭🙋
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
WHY DO I FEEL SO MUCH FOR SUCH LITTLE GUYS MAN. The end of act 1 killed me. Had me in tears. The music choice, the timing, the art. All of it was so perfect. What a story. For you to make something so beautiful out of something so trivial, is just incredible. I have no other words ❤❤❤
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.
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 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 be bringing the feels into this! But in all seriousness, what a movie this was, i couldn't imagine the amount of time that this must have taken to make! SOmeone must have been cutting some onions at the revival blessing scene cause that hit way too hard
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
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 CZcams video, or from Pokémon. Even playing the game myself didn't make me feel this way. This video truly is a masterclass in editing
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.
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!
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😁👍
Holy Crap I'm not even done with this and this is one of the most well-put-together and best youtube videos i've ever seen, amazing job Moxie2D(now on to part 2)
Post video Aydin here: Wow. Just, wow. You popped off extremely hard Moxie, and this video was more than worth the wait. Now, I'm certainly no theorist myself, but the way you managed to tie pretty much everything together was incredible. This may sound cheesy, but I'm glad to have been a part of the community that you built around you, Mox, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here's to more amazing content. (😅though try not to leave us in the dark for *too* long after this, alright Mox?)
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.
This got convoluted REAL QUICK the Revival Blessing was a very touching and very nuts pivotal point of the run, this ain't just a Nuzlocke, that's just vanilla, this is a whole ass story.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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! 😂❤️
I’ve basically never left a comment on youtube video before in my almost 10 years on youtube (this account is only a year old because i make new ones whenever i get a new phone) but oh my god when I say this is the best video i’ve ever seen i MEAN it. the art, the story, the lore, everything was completely perfect. some parts even made me a bit emotional and other parts gave me a massive smile. this is the kind of stuff youtube was made for because oh my god this is THE perfect video.
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!
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.
This Even though I'm 3 months late to watch this masterpiece This video alone made me want to play through the entirety of the game from the start, watch the anime, and so much more The emotions, the storytelling, the fiction part that feels like it genuinely is a part of the experience, the art... This is definitely one of the most beautiful videos I've watched after 10 years on this platform
This was the first nuzlocke i've ever watched and i'm so glad I love how the pokemon feel like actual characters here, with stories and personalities we actually care about The big moments hit like TRUCKS, be it the team's death against eri, charlie's "revival", moxie-kun dying or alexis girlbossing through that roaring moon battle with nothing but 5 hp, it all shook me so hard i couldn't help but get teary eyed a few times So happy to have watched this adventure, even if came 10 whole months late
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
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.
I dont normally comment, but I have re-watched this video so many times. This is one of the best pokemon videos I have seen, and I cant wait to see the next parts of the story.
just got done with the video! absolute BANGER in the sense that you use sound to fully immerse people and keep them hooked. It is such an honor to have experienced this first hand and amazing to see what you did in post. Keep up the insane work, you godlike creator. ~ Sword
When I say this, I am not joking. Moxie, what you have created here is nothing short of a masterpiece. I have watched countless nuzzlockes on this game but have never been so invested in my life. Like you I have been playing Pokemon for a very long time. Started when I was around 7/8 and have never stopped, I am now 22. I recently discovered you on CZcams, consequently also discovering true green. You guys have brought me a lot of joy in a time I am so stressed with my final year of University. Thank you for this video Moxie.
That was amazing. I don't even have words for it. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster and was just so amazing. And the added weight of a nuzlocke on top of this, the death of Charlie (RIP) and all the other b team members, the hype of Alexis surviving on the Roaring Moon stonedge and beating it. This is a masterpiece and should blow up. Amazing. Props to you Moxie.
This project was awesome Moxie! Your art is top notch as always! I loved the opening and the part with pawmot's revival blessing. Truly top notch stuff!
The story so far is amazing. I wish more people added a bit more storytelling in their nuzlockes cause it’s just FULL of potential! Keep being awesome as hell
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

Why does it say hemsworth in the intro?
Nothing but respect for this video moxie. Can't imagine how gruelling the effort was to put so much energy into 1 vid. Congrats and can't wait for more with the dlc
The part with the Revival Blessing legitimately almost made me cry. This is a masterpiece.

Rest in peace Charlie - the square good boi

Ok, I can't contain this any longer: I NEED to talk about Jade.

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.

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.

How long did this take you
@@apriladams5946couple hours
I don’t think it was this deep in the video but yk what it would go hard in the anime 😭
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 moment with the bisharp driving is utterly the best thing of all time I swear
They put my mans in a wheelchair 😂
*kingambit
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 😢
"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!

You can love your team,prepare them for anything that might come,but when it comes down to it and luck ran out,they're gone for good. You can beg,you can pray,try to use whatever you can to revive them and maybe it will work. But they're dead,gone for good. The way Moxie designed that scene is so beautifully made,you can see him going through the stages of grief condensed in a few minutes of video,especially the bargaining part with Revival blessing and how it seemed to have worked. But in the end,you just have to accept that some things can't be fixed with a quick"miracle" solution,and that whatever comes out of it,can be great.
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.
Thanks Patterz I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Yo it’s patterz

Patterz 😯
Patterz 😮😮😮😮
The part with Moxie-kun turning to crystals legitimately made me tear up. It was just all so good
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.
"Here comes the anime opening" OMG, so amazing! I love the depth you've got in everyone's eyes!
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!
TRUE !!!
Fr we need this 😄
PLEASE
I think we all were fools thinking it wouldn't be as bad as the Arceus run
*arkoos
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
I didn't know I needed this video, until I saw it today. I cried, I laughed, I clapped. Thank you.
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.
It got close to making me cry... it's not easy to make me sad enough to cry
Have you seen the Spheal Team Six Nuzlocke? That one absolutely made me cry when I saw it, I'd highly recommend it too ^^
@@adlirezwhy did it make you cry?
@@djentity303 the Shoal Cave scene mainly made me cry. Spoilers for the Nuzlocke up ahead:
The main thing about it is the profoundness of the moment and the tragedy of the Spheal Team Six being deprived of their innocence due to the agendas of a cold and uncaring organization that uses them for their own purposes. It's only part of it-- words I can come up with can't fully describe the emotions in that moment, really, the only way to fully understand it is to watch it.
Same
OK. I know this will be spoilers, but HOLY CRAP why is the scene with Mango so heart breaking?!
Btw love the final piece of art
Revived the run. A good member. Gods damn.
i regret to inform that I actually cried during that scene.
I didn't cry you cried
there was something in my eye and I was trying to get it out. I'm not a crybaby.
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
"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
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.
I see you! Thanks so much
@@moxie2D I'll be honest with you moxie, when you said that nemona's love of Pokemon battles possibly ties back to Saiyan heritage, I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO GO ALL IN WITH THAT JOKE AND CONFIRM THAT SAIYANS EXIST IN POKEMON WITH NEMONA TURNING SUPER SAIYAN🤯🤯🤯 then again, you have literal Pokemon going super Saiyan (AKA G R E G) so I guess i should've seen it coming😅😅😅
@@gabrielgrant8913 that's actually cute seeing tinkerton up close and personal that's so cute 😍
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.
From one big commenter to another, good job.
Came back to rewatch this and the revival blessing scene had me in tears again. The animation, the music, everything it just hits
1:28:33
Moxie: "At this point my eyes were peeled for a shiny"
Also Moxie: misses a clearly shiny rookidee
Noah srsly?
*no way
There was also a shiny dratini in the corner of the Ramsey splash screen (thing)
💀💀NAHH
skill issue
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.
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”
His connections with Kalos may actually be right though. We'll find out in PLZA.
This is probably one of the best Pokemon nuzlockes I've never seen
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
Yes .. Rip charlie
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 CZcams right now. Props to you Moxie!
I completely agree
Watching this fills you with D E T E R M I N A T I O N
the vids moxie does are ALLWAYS awesome!!
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.
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 CZcams :)
Thank you so much :)
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.
It was awesome ! 😀
That one no when he missed a shiny tho was SO funny 😂
The foreshadowing is so amazing in this… and terrifying
This is the first video of yours ive ever seen, and the first Nuzlocke I've ever cried for. You made me see what its all about, the emotional connection that you grow with these Pokemon, feeling things you never thought you'd feel. Ive never done a Nuzlocke before, but this made me consider doing one...through tears, you just gained a subscriber. You keep doing you 😭🙋
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.
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
such a cinematic masterpiece. this is more than nuzlocke, it’s a story
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.
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!
I have not legitimately cried in a long time, but the story arc with Charlie crushed me. What an amazing story teller
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
I’m so glad the little fire spirit that accompanied Charlie didn’t die. That scene was so sad.
the fact he didn't guess the robot twist and was pogging all the way through was so wholesome
Yes we’ve all been waiting for this it will be a masterpiece
No way this video be making me tear up after revival blessing saved the run and seeing Jade’s reaction to Charlie’s death and more.
Why... Why must you stab my heart EVERY nuzlock... The bird... The friends... The family... I'm not okay😭😭😭
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.
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.
WHY DO I FEEL SO MUCH FOR SUCH LITTLE GUYS MAN. The end of act 1 killed me. Had me in tears. The music choice, the timing, the art. All of it was so perfect. What a story. For you to make something so beautiful out of something so trivial, is just incredible. I have no other words ❤❤❤
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.
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 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.
brother i is indeed a good video. but still THIS IS GOD DAMN CZcams NOT SCHOOL
Dude be bringing the feels into this!
But in all seriousness, what a movie this was, i couldn't imagine the amount of time that this must have taken to make!
SOmeone must have been cutting some onions at the revival blessing scene cause that hit way too hard
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
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 CZcams video, or from Pokémon.
Even playing the game myself didn't make me feel this way.
This video truly is a masterclass in editing
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.
I did too, Charlie will always be with us. A legend is never forgotten.
Bad? That’s exactly what he was going for
Also, it wasn’t just you. EVERYONE cried
Finally got around to watching this today. Just brilliant and beautiful! Loved watching it live and loved watching it even more edited down!
You can tell how much effort he puts into this. Well done. You deserve it.
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 think I ever expected to cry in a Pokémon play through
Same
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😁👍
Holy Crap I'm not even done with this and this is one of the most well-put-together and best youtube videos i've ever seen, amazing job Moxie2D(now on to part 2)
IT'S HERE! Can't believe it's finally out. Good job, Mox.
Post video Aydin here: Wow. Just, wow.
You popped off extremely hard Moxie, and this video was more than worth the wait.
Now, I'm certainly no theorist myself, but the way you managed to tie pretty much everything together was incredible.
This may sound cheesy, but I'm glad to have been a part of the community that you built around you, Mox, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Here's to more amazing content. (😅though try not to leave us in the dark for *too* long after this, alright Mox?)
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.
This got convoluted REAL QUICK the Revival Blessing was a very touching and very nuts pivotal point of the run, this ain't just a Nuzlocke, that's just vanilla, this is a whole ass story.
Done with act 2, OMG that was so hyped and had me re-living the best moments of the games I have spend over 200 hours on. What an amazing job.
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!
That last scene with Moxie-Kun made me near tear up damnit Moxie
I've cried twice already, and I haven't even gotten to act 2 😭😅
This video is made and edited so well
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.
This is my favourite video on CZcams from a MILE!
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.
Main Pokemon games*
Nothing comes close to Sky so far.
@@DarkPrevaitorwhich game??
WHY IS THIS SO GOOD BUT ALSO HEARTBREAKING, THE SCENE WITH BABY JADE AND CHARLIE SAYING GOODBYE SHATTERED ME
mad respect to you for not only doing this, but actually editing it into a video AND drawing your own art for it.
This video literally made me cry, rest in piece, Bob the hero, and Charlie, that loveable guy really made me cry.
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.
AMAZING
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! 😂❤️
Dude, your choice in music, editing, art, storytelling…omg. Absolutely amazing 🥹🥹🥹
I’ve basically never left a comment on youtube video before in my almost 10 years on youtube (this account is only a year old because i make new ones whenever i get a new phone) but oh my god when I say this is the best video i’ve ever seen i MEAN it. the art, the story, the lore, everything was completely perfect. some parts even made me a bit emotional and other parts gave me a massive smile. this is the kind of stuff youtube was made for because oh my god this is THE perfect video.
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!
R.I.P Charlie and Bob. I nearly cried when Bob and Charlie
Died
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.
This
Even though I'm 3 months late to watch this masterpiece
This video alone made me want to play through the entirety of the game from the start, watch the anime, and so much more
The emotions, the storytelling, the fiction part that feels like it genuinely is a part of the experience, the art... This is definitely one of the most beautiful videos I've watched after 10 years on this platform
I actually cried when Charlie died, and the artwork made it worse. That dumb lil croc meant a lot to me. RIP Charlie..
I was so lucky to be able to see this live and somehow, Charlie's death STILL made me cry.
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.
This is the best Story and theory i've ever heard. I love your channel
This was the first nuzlocke i've ever watched and i'm so glad
I love how the pokemon feel like actual characters here, with stories and personalities we actually care about
The big moments hit like TRUCKS, be it the team's death against eri, charlie's "revival", moxie-kun dying or alexis girlbossing through that roaring moon battle with nothing but 5 hp, it all shook me so hard i couldn't help but get teary eyed a few times
So happy to have watched this adventure, even if came 10 whole months late
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
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.
I dont normally comment, but I have re-watched this video so many times. This is one of the best pokemon videos I have seen, and I cant wait to see the next parts of the story.
I love the imaginative lore and storytelling in this video! It even made me 😢 a little, Good job!
No matter how many times I watch arven’s story, it still makes me wanna cry
just got done with the video! absolute BANGER in the sense that you use sound to fully immerse people and keep them hooked. It is such an honor to have experienced this first hand and amazing to see what you did in post. Keep up the insane work, you godlike creator. ~ Sword
When I say this, I am not joking.
Moxie, what you have created here is nothing short of a masterpiece. I have watched countless nuzzlockes on this game but have never been so invested in my life.
Like you I have been playing Pokemon for a very long time. Started when I was around 7/8 and have never stopped, I am now 22.
I recently discovered you on CZcams, consequently also discovering true green. You guys have brought me a lot of joy in a time I am so stressed with my final year of University.
Thank you for this video Moxie.
This game and this video were absolutely brimming with personality
That was amazing. I don't even have words for it. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster and was just so amazing. And the added weight of a nuzlocke on top of this, the death of Charlie (RIP) and all the other b team members, the hype of Alexis surviving on the Roaring Moon stonedge and beating it. This is a masterpiece and should blow up. Amazing. Props to you Moxie.
MOX MAN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AAAHH, you're such a good artist and storyteller
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed!
@@moxie2D HELP I DID NOT EXPECT THE REPLY??? I am so drawing more stuff for you, LOL
This project was awesome Moxie! Your art is top notch as always! I loved the opening and the part with pawmot's revival blessing. Truly top notch stuff!
The story so far is amazing. I wish more people added a bit more storytelling in their nuzlockes cause it’s just FULL of potential! Keep being awesome as hell
