Factual error: During the Hong Kong battle, one of the Kaiju disables the Australian Jaeger and the base by emitting an EMP blast. Becket claimed that the Gipsy Danger was immune because it had a nuclear core and was therefore "analog". Being nuclear powered has no bearing on whether a machine is analog or not, and the EMP would certainly affect all the electronic circuitry needed to control the Gipsy.
Pacific Rim (2013)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi
Pentecost and Hansen detonate their nuke, killing them and a kaiju near the portal. Mako and Raleigh ride through the portal with a category five kaiju. Raleigh ejects Mako's escape pod and manually activates Gipsy Danger's nuclear core. After he ejects, Gipsy Danger explodes, sealing the portal. Mako swims to Raleigh's escape pod and wakes him up. During the credits, Hannibal Chau slices his way out of the kaiju that ate him and asks where his shoe is.

Answer: Simple: because in a mere 14 months (as was said by Pentecost) they managed to build an effective weapon against the Kaiju.
