@@diopptazz in Emerald they are much harder as they have 4 pokemon instead of 2. They have annoying set ups with Flamethrower, Solar Beam, and Sunny Day. They are also a good 4-8 levels higher than you. Norman is honestly easy when you can just use protect, or detect, or a ghost type in Emerald since you can catch Sableye in the cave nera Brawly. I never found Juan's Kingdra hard to be fair when you have Manetric, Magneton, or Ludicolo all being easy to catch. Sure confusion is annoying but that is all it is, annoying but not that hard. Winona And DD Altaria should be illegal as it sweeps any team and is the only loss I have had in Emerald. Even though I think Tate and Liza are still harder even though I didn't loose to them.

@@relaxn3918 The only loss I had in emerald (not counting the battle frontier) was with tate and liza. I didn't have any problem with altaria as I had a ice beam azumarill that destroyed her altaria.
@@diopptazz that is one of the problems, you don't know she will have somebody 4x weak to ice, you probably have either an electric type to deal with her and then she ohko's it with Earthquake. While you can be prepared for both, Tate and Liza are much harder as if you clear just the Altaria, everything else is easy.
This track has such personality. Rather than try and overwhelm you with dread, the song slowly climbs up and down, starting the feel of cheerily knowing you are at a great moment of a journey - and then sinks low to remind you that such journeys will have intense challenges for you to endure. But then the track climbs up again, reminding you that those challenges are just as fun. I love this game.
Yes Gen 3 objectively has the best music, prepare your pitch forks Gen 5 fanboys, this isn't bait, i actually believe with all my heart and soul that Gen 3 has the best music
So the gym leaders were A schoolgirl A triathlete My grandpa My older sister My dad Sky battle trainer before sky battles were a thing Twins An eccentric guy (RS) A mexican dude (E)
Anyone else like the older art style better? its not in a hipster way, i'm just a fan of the lighter (almost like watercolor) colors and the way they drew faces was slightly less on the huge, huge anime eyes.
I like the newer art style better because it's more expressive. The new official art for these characters has more character to it and I think Roxanne's clothing in ORAS makes more sense to me.
Osmosis Wright I had a look at both original and oras Roxanne. The outfits are quite similar to each other, but I will say it is drawn better in oras. Sometimes I like trainer redesigns too.
Generation 3 definitely had some of the toughest Gym fights of any Pokemon game, especially in Emerald where pretty much every Gym Leader had an extra member on their team.
It was the only Pokemon I used so mabye it was over leveled? Still don't really know much on how the game works. My Point is that the gym fights were super easy (for me at least)
@@sergeantguy4404 Never used a Ralts in my Emerald playthroughs personally, mainly becuase I think it makes the game too easy and they were kind of there to teach newer players that wild Pokemon are worth catching as Ralts is easily in the Top 5, if not Top 3, best Pokemon you could catch in the base game and have time to train for the League. Brawly is infamous for being ridiculously hard for the point that he is (he's like the Gen 3 Whitney) unless you caught a Sableye, though I assume he would be a pushver to anyone with a Kirlia using Confusion by that point. I had a Swampert, Exploud, Aggron, Crobat, Banette and a Galie when I played Emerald about a year or so ago, they were all around Lv.59-63 by the Hall of Fame if I remember right.
0:50 Leader Norman sent out Slaking! 0:52 Blaziken used Double Kick! Two times! It's super effective! 1:00 Slaking used Facade! 1:03 Critical Hit! Blaziken fainted!
The threats: 1. Nosepass's Rock Tomb. 2. Machop's and Makuhita's Bulk Up. 3. Magneton's Shock Wave and Thunder Wave. It's a bit easier in Emerald. 4. Torkoal's Attract and Body Slam combo, as well Overheat. 5. Slaking's Yawn, Focus Punch, Facade and Slack Off (thankfully, Slaking has Truant). He's easier in Emerald. 6. Altaria's Dragon Dance and Earthquake. 7. Combination of Light Screen, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, Calm Mind and Sunny Day. They're much more easier in Ruby and Sapphire. 8. Wallace is definitely the easiest. Juan's major threat is Kingdra, with Double Team and Rest, and the only weakness being Dragon.
Juan's Kingdra was hell to battle, every time it took me like 3 or 4 hits to make the kingdra be with less than 20 hp and he used rest, the worst is i didn't have an electric type pokemon so i couldn't deal super effective attacks on him, you can imagine how frustrated i was.
Wattson is the bomb. Norman is super cool. Juan is a ladies' man. Wallace decided to be champion. Tate and Liza share. Flannery's nuts. That's a hard question...
0:41 “Gym leader used Full Restore!” Idk why but I have this association with that part of the song and the health bar that slowly recovers to full health
I think it hits different because this gen was more difficult than others, it was crazy like the battle frontier, but it was a bit hectic if you didn't prepare.
Man the big battle themes in gen 3 all give me goosebumps, Gym Leader, Elite 4, Champion, Magma/Aqua boss battle, and the legendary theme most of all. Truly a region of the most awe inspiring music imo.
My favourite part of the song is from 0:42 to 1:15. The music becomes very intense during this part makes you feel like anything can happen in your battle, good or bad. Epic!
My favourite gym leader will always be Roxanne! She was the first one I ever fought. Back then (when I was 7), her Nosepass weirded the hell out of me, and it only drove me to fight harder with my beloved Marshtomp.
I know that Pokemon games these days get more fancier and almost everything from style to gameplay has changed, but I hope no one forgets the absolute legendary games the old ones were
it still is better than most. not sure if thats a good thing but ruby sapphire especially emerald were almost the peak of pokemon franchise in terms of raw gameplay and not new features.
The nod to this track in the Kalos Champion battle music always get some so hype, it was the biggest hint towards ORAS and I didn't notice it for ages!
Am I the only one who noticed that the Hoenn Gym leaders names almost matches their type they specializes in? ROXanne - rock BRAWley- fighting WATTson- Electric FLAnnery- fire WINonna- Flying Liza & Tate- not really a close type match up here WAllace- Water Pretty interesting
Well, most of the Gym leader names were puns, even moreso in Japanese versions. bROCK, Mist-y (her Japanese name - Kasumi - is literally "mist"), Lt. Surge (as in "electrical surge"), Falkner (sound close to "Falconer"), Chuck (as in "throw" or pair of 'chuck), Clair (Dragon Lair - in Japanese, it's "ibuki", breat - as in "dragon's breath")... pretty much every one of those names is a pun.
Congratulations, you are really, REALLY slow to the party! What if I told you that every gym leader ever has a pun name lmao, some of them they straight up didn't even try to hide it
Hoenn still has my favourite set of Gym Leaders. I guess this might largely be due to the difficulty which made these gym leaders so much more memorable. Roxanne's Nosepass was one of the harder first leader's Ace because it was quite bulky at that point ... And Roxanne in Emerald had 3 potions... Brawly's bulk up Makuhita can sweep your team if you aren't prepared with good options like Dustox and Sableye. And then the real difficulty of Hoenn's Gym Leaders shows up. Wattson is an absolute nightmare if you didn't pick Mudkip; Wattson is far harder without Marshtomp than how easy he is with Marshtomp, especially in Emerald. Flannery ... So she is the fourth gym leader, quite recent as per her, and yet she has a Torkoal with Overheat, can set up Sun, use a combo of Attract + Body Slam (30% chance to paralyse) and even has a white herb? And we thought Whitney's Miltank packed an annoying movepool! Norman, without protect or dig (which many of us didn't have on our Pokemon) could easily screw us. Also let us not forget that his Linoone can outspeed every Pokemon at this stage, and runs belly drum. Winona ... Now this was INSANITY! That Altaria's movepool was too much to handle at that point ... Even with ice beam your victory isn't guaranteed against this monster of a gym leader ... Oh Gosh I am reviving my unpleasant memories I'm moving forward! Tate and Liza in Emerald were ridiculous. With Claydol running Earthquake whose teammates had either levitate, or were flying types, it was already a crazy good team. But wait! Xatu can set up calm mind which will reduce the damage from dark type moves and increase its own damage output. Also, this thing can set up Sunny Day to lessen the horrible weakness of their team against water. And if Xatu didn't set up Sun, Solrock will and will spam Solar Beam on your water types. Combine Solrock with Lunatone, a Pokemon that can setup itself calm mind or support his team with hypnosis and light screen, and you have got a super stacked team to go up against. Wallace's Ace was a Milotic, an already top tier Pokémon, especially in Gen 3. And he makes up for his relatively lower difficult gym leader battle by a much more threatening champion team in Emerald. Juan's Kingdra ... SCREW THAT THING! IT'S PURE EVIL! Even Claire's Kingdra or Flannery's Torkoal aren't that insane.
I remember back then I was a Genwunner and I only played firered but then me and my Classmate raced against each other in Pkm Emerald and thus i realised how awesome the music and pokemon look! Im sorry for being a Genwunner back then...
Roxanne in R/S/E: Oh hello there (omg I'm so timid I'm afraid they think I'm a school child) Roxanne in ORAS: Bitch please have my Rock pokemon as I'm clever af
@@gale4821 dude look at his last upload date. Two years ago for his last video AND roblox video. Just because his pfp is a roblox character doesnt mean he plays anymore.
I agree that RSE had a better soundtrack.That could just be me as a fan talking since Hoenn is my favorite region.But hey.We all have different opinions.
Gen 2: We allow more expansive gameplay, as well as a post game campaign which allows you to travel to the Kanto region, thus giving you two games in one Hoenn: Welcome to Heonn, land of trumpets and water.
Trumpets, water and waifus. A school teacher, a charbroiled cinnamon roll, a woman as elegant as a bird, an Alolan dancer, a robo-waifu, a pirate, a dragon successor, an idol... or a 12-year-old trainer. Lots of choices.
Roxxane:top kid Brawly:cool guy Wattson:fat 61 year old Flannery:fire types OoO Norman: ur dad Wionna:some bird woman Liza and tate:twins of a life time Wallace:water guy
This is honestly the best Pokemon song. It fits the theme of a gym battle to a tee. They managed to portray the feelings of excitement and slight fear perfectly. You should be scared of fighting a gym leader, they're supposedly extremely strong trainers.
So fucking good, when your dad is like "you're ready now after beating 4 gyms" and he hits you with 2 bloody slakings haha. Oh man the nostalgia. 3rd gen is my favourite (equal with 4th gen).
I love how quirky and loveable the old Pokemon artworks are. Juan looks really majestic, Tate and Liza are looking like Mentat children and Wallace knows he is the most fabulous guy in Hoenn.

Foe Kingdra went to sleep and became healthy... Foe Kingdra regained health. Foe Kingdra's Chesto Berry woke it from its sleep. ...
It's funny how rse had different elite four/gym leader thene where DPPt e4 and gym leader have almost the same theme, they could have make a banger but whatever.
I remember young me struggling with Flannery’s Torkoal, Norman, and the Elite 4 (I never beat it sadly). I remember playing this sweet game (my first mainline Pokémon game) at my grandma’s house at lot lol ❤
Listening to it on its own made me wish I appreciated it more when I played on the handheld... in-game on replays though I'd always be disappointed it wasn't the E4 theme, since that quickly became my favourite battle theme even over Gen 1's Champion music when I first heard it. Oh well, paying my respects to it now
Damn, when I hear this music and close my eyes I can still see first battle between me and Roxanne. My over leveled Treecko and an under leveled Shroomish, still burned deep into my memory!
Let's be honest will ourselves for a brief moment. We all crushed on Flannery as a kid at one point in time of our childhood, there's no denying it. I am just as guilty if not more so, of it as anyone else. Though I did and still do have a soft spot for roxanne.
ALL GYM LEADERS IN MY OPINION Roxanne: Some teenage schoolgirl Brawly: HIS MAKUHITA Wattson: Killer Electric types Flannery: My favorite Norman: His pose is identical to Sabrina’s pose Winona: Love the name Tate and Liza: Awww so cute Wallace: He looks like a girl
@@ziimulhah3223 There's a reason why i always keep Shock Wave in Electric-types , to counter this. Or just summon Rain Dance and whoop his ass with Thunder
Leader Juan is about to send out Kingdra. Will you change your Pokemon? No *sends out manectric* Manectric used thunder! (Attack missed) Kingdra used Double Team NO NO DONT SPAM THAT Manectric used thunderbolt! (Does about 40%) Kingdra used Double Team! NO STOP Manectric used Thunderbolt! (Attack missed) BRUH Kingdra used Water Pulse! Manectric used Thunderbolt (Kingdra barely survives) Kingdra used Rest! ... WOW all my damage wasted (I missed thunderbolt 2 times in a row) Kingdra woke up! Kingdra used Water Pulse! A critical hit! Manectric fainted I HATE THIS GAME AAAAAAA *send out swampert* *Kingdra uses* double team for 2 times* 4 of my earthquakes missed, and swampert fainted after a few turns... so 3 pokemon left Crobat, Breloom, Gardevoir. Crobat and breloom no hope, theyre just gonna miss an attack and faint to an ice beam. So i sent out gardevoir So i decided to use psychic instead cuz it hits harder of stab FORGOT I ONLY HAD 6 PP LEFT ON IT BRUH *missed 3 psychics in a row* Kingdra used double team! BRUH NOW ITS MAX EVASION *gardevoir faints in a few turns well atleast it landed one psychic that did 50%* *sents out breloom* Breloom used Brick Break! PLS HIT PLS HIT YESSSS Kingdra fainted! FINALLY
I just realised after all these years, their names are a play of word based on their specialised type: Ro(ck)xanne BRAWLy WATTson Fla(me)nnery Norm(al)an Win(d)nona Wa(ter)llace Don't know about Juan and Tate&Liza tho, maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but localisation did an amazing job if it's true.
Liza and Tate could be a play on "levitate", which is something generally associated with telekinesis and also the ability of their signature Pokemon. No idea what Juan could mean, though.

Congratulations, you are really, REALLY slow to the party! What if I told you that every gym leader ever has a pun name lmao, some of them they straight up didn't even try to hide it
I really like the art style of this gen
Hoenn still has my favourite set of Gym Leaders.
I guess this might largely be due to the difficulty which made these gym leaders so much more memorable.
Roxanne's Nosepass was one of the harder first leader's Ace because it was quite bulky at that point ... And Roxanne in Emerald had 3 potions...
Brawly's bulk up Makuhita can sweep your team if you aren't prepared with good options like Dustox and Sableye.
And then the real difficulty of Hoenn's Gym Leaders shows up.
Wattson is an absolute nightmare if you didn't pick Mudkip; Wattson is far harder without Marshtomp than how easy he is with Marshtomp, especially in Emerald.
Flannery ... So she is the fourth gym leader, quite recent as per her, and yet she has a Torkoal with Overheat, can set up Sun, use a combo of Attract + Body Slam (30% chance to paralyse) and even has a white herb? And we thought Whitney's Miltank packed an annoying movepool!
Norman, without protect or dig (which many of us didn't have on our Pokemon) could easily screw us. Also let us not forget that his Linoone can outspeed every Pokemon at this stage, and runs belly drum.
Winona ... Now this was INSANITY! That Altaria's movepool was too much to handle at that point ... Even with ice beam your victory isn't guaranteed against this monster of a gym leader ... Oh Gosh I am reviving my unpleasant memories I'm moving forward!
Tate and Liza in Emerald were ridiculous. With Claydol running Earthquake whose teammates had either levitate, or were flying types, it was already a crazy good team. But wait! Xatu can set up calm mind which will reduce the damage from dark type moves and increase its own damage output. Also, this thing can set up Sunny Day to lessen the horrible weakness of their team against water. And if Xatu didn't set up Sun, Solrock will and will spam Solar Beam on your water types. Combine Solrock with Lunatone, a Pokemon that can setup itself calm mind or support his team with hypnosis and light screen, and you have got a super stacked team to go up against.
Wallace's Ace was a Milotic, an already top tier Pokémon, especially in Gen 3. And he makes up for his relatively lower difficult gym leader battle by a much more threatening champion team in Emerald.
Juan's Kingdra ... SCREW THAT THING! IT'S PURE EVIL! Even Claire's Kingdra or Flannery's Torkoal aren't that insane.
Is it just me or I think that Wallace is making a pose saying 'BITCH I'M FABULOUS'?
nope i do too
Yep, I see it lol
He's the DEFINITION of SWAG
Adan's Gym is full of strong female trainers. He is a ladies man after all.
I remember back then I was a Genwunner and I only played firered but then me and my Classmate raced against each other in Pkm Emerald and thus i realised how awesome the music and pokemon look! Im sorry for being a Genwunner back then...
Hey hoen gym leaders you want to hear a joke
Swampert
Its all fun and games till you forget that solrock has solarbeam and bye-bye, i miss ma boi (nuzlocke pain)
Mudkip is better than any pokemon in the game
@@mikeasllani6972 except steven's skarmory
They don't get it.
This makes laugh
Best gym leader battle music so far.
Roxanne in R/S/E: Oh hello there (omg I'm so timid I'm afraid they think I'm a school child)
Roxanne in ORAS: Bitch please have my Rock pokemon as I'm clever af
emerald kaizo making this song the entrance of hell
same thing for inclement emerald hard mode. wattson was pure hell and worst of all I was monotyping.
This is by far the most underrated gym leader music in the series
Go play some roblox kid
Johannes Gale ok then (even though I haven’t played it in years)
@@gale4821 dude look at his last upload date. Two years ago for his last video AND roblox video. Just because his pfp is a roblox character doesnt mean he plays anymore.
I feel like Gale supports uttp
He feels like the type of person to do that
This is my favorite Pokémon gym leader theme song
RSE had, by far, the best soundtrack of any Pokemon game.
110% agree. And this Gym Leader song is my favorite track in the entire series (yes, even better than every Champion theme, including Cynthia's).
i think Diamond/Pearl/Platinum had better soundtrack.
+Geki I agree, D/P was by far the better game in terms of sound tracks. I personally believe D/P were the better games anyways...
I agree that RSE had a better soundtrack.That could just be me as a fan talking since Hoenn is my favorite region.But hey.We all have different opinions.
Killer Memestar xx
Hoenn still has and has always had the best ost 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻
It was straight fire.
I love it but for me Johtto and kanto takes it
YES THAT IS A FACT
IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN GEN 5
Gen 2: We allow more expansive gameplay, as well as a post game campaign which allows you to travel to the Kanto region, thus giving you two games in one
Hoenn: Welcome to Heonn, land of trumpets and water.
For Me TBH gen 3 was more fun (I'm talkin bout Emerald) than HG/SS(I PLAYED THE WHOLE GAME AND FELT IT IDK BORIN LIKE TOO MANY THINGS TO DO)
Trumpets, water and waifus. A school teacher, a charbroiled cinnamon roll, a woman as elegant as a bird, an Alolan dancer, a robo-waifu, a pirate, a dragon successor, an idol... or a 12-year-old trainer. Lots of choices.
Roxanne: Nooooo!!! you can't just get 2 super effective in one move thats not fair!!!!!
Brendan: Haha! Combusken use Double kick pow!! pow!!
Fair enough
@@apersononyoutube8876 yeah
Bullet Seed:
@@latifolia1299 oh i never thought of that
"Noo you can't just get several super effective in one move that's just not fair !!!"
*HAHA BULLET SEED GO PEW PEW*
Wtf Norman looks like Seth MacFarlane!!
Norman:I like Family Guy
xD
Holy shit?????!!!!!!!
Hey Lois remember when I used to beat kids with my overpowered gorilla?
No doubt intentional, but Norman looks the most basic compared to the others.
Looks kinda Nolan north tbh😂
Roxxane:top kid
Brawly:cool guy
Wattson:fat 61 year old
Flannery:fire types OoO
Norman: ur dad
Wionna:some bird woman
Liza and tate:twins of a life time
Wallace:water guy
Roxanne is your teacher
Watson: bruh *tosses mega menectric*
Juan: Horse on the Balcony spamming double team
Adan: Ladies man and also teacher.
This is honestly the best Pokemon song. It fits the theme of a gym battle to a tee. They managed to portray the feelings of excitement and slight fear perfectly. You should be scared of fighting a gym leader, they're supposedly extremely strong trainers.
So fucking good, when your dad is like "you're ready now after beating 4 gyms" and he hits you with 2 bloody slakings haha. Oh man the nostalgia. 3rd gen is my favourite (equal with 4th gen).
This had no business going as hard as it did
This OSR had no business going as hard as it did, set my GBA speakers on fire 🔥
I love this song...heard it so many times as a kid...coolest gen by far
I have tears right now
Sapphire my very first pokemon game
Likes Begger same
Dark DeathFire 😂
no u dont
Yes yes !
Crystal was my first & sapphire was my second :) Now I have Sword as my third.
I love how quirky and loveable the old Pokemon artworks are. Juan looks really majestic, Tate and Liza are looking like Mentat children and Wallace knows he is the most fabulous guy in Hoenn.
Until tucker came he snatch the title from wallace
Gosh dang it, Dad! Why’d you have to come on screen? I was looking at Flannery!
Tch...
XD
She has two female Pokémon with Meromero, making her better than Akane where she only has one.
RZE - Trumpets.
DPPL - Piano.
BW/BW2 - Tecno.
XY - Electro.
SM - Electro+Tecno
You are a genius Junichi!
Sw/Sh: Crowds.
I love Pokémon zapphire
Sw/Sh seems to have a complete EDM vibe, at least the gym leader theme.
Red blue gold silver: Game Boy
No
X and Y is rock
I remember Winona's peliper use protect over and over again
This song gives me PTSD.
I had a lot of trouble with Hoenn Gym Leaders back in RSE lmao

Brawly- mah good taillow
Wattson- Moar double kik spam

winona in rematch: oh god, barely squaked by lol
tate and liza rematch: **minecraft disc 13 while desperately using dark type moves**
Geez, that Kingdra... Double team, rest, AND chesto berry.
Number 2 reason why im not gonna play emerald.
Use rayquaza, one hit with outrage, problem solved
Leader Juan is about to send out Kingdra. Will May/Brendan change Pokemon?... Leader Juan sent out Kingdra!
Foe Kingdra used Double Team! Foe Kingdra's evasiveness rose!
[Your Pokémon] used [some attack]! [Your Pokémon's] attack missed!
Foe Kingdra used Ice Beam! [Your Pokémon] became frozen solid!
[Your Pokémon] is frozen solid!
Foe Kingdra used Water Pulse! A critical hit! [Your Pokémon] became confused!
[Your Pokémon] was defrosted. [Your Pokémon] is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion. [Your Pokémon] fainted!
...
Foe Kingdra used Rest! Foe Kingdra went to sleep and became healthy... Foe Kingdra regained health. Foe Kingdra's Chesto Berry woke it from its sleep.
...
hitler 2.0
Flygon use dragon breath !
That's why I use Shedinja
YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LIZA
whoever at nintendo/gamefreak thought to make gym leader music different from elite four music, massive kudos.
Even if they didn't
It still would've been a Masterpiece
It's funny how rse had different elite four/gym leader thene where DPPt e4 and gym leader have almost the same theme, they could have make a banger but whatever.
This epic was my first pokemon game.
Man, Roxanne was skinnier than I remember
And Flannery... And Winona
And Wallace
That’s a dude...
@@yellow6572
But he has no dick
Roxanne was always THINNN
I relied too much on Swampert, and Solrock's Solar Beam taught me that...
I remember young me struggling with Flannery’s Torkoal, Norman, and the Elite 4 (I never beat it sadly). I remember playing this sweet game (my first mainline Pokémon game) at my grandma’s house at lot lol ❤
Listening to it on its own made me wish I appreciated it more when I played on the handheld... in-game on replays though I'd always be disappointed it wasn't the E4 theme, since that quickly became my favourite battle theme even over Gen 1's Champion music when I first heard it. Oh well, paying my respects to it now
Damn, when I hear this music and close my eyes I can still see first battle between me and Roxanne. My over leveled Treecko and an under leveled Shroomish, still burned deep into my memory!
Let's be honest will ourselves for a brief moment. We all crushed on Flannery as a kid at one point in time of our childhood, there's no denying it. I am just as guilty if not more so, of it as anyone else. Though I did and still do have a soft spot for roxanne.
The most rewatched moments on this video agrees with this haha.
3世代は文句無しの神作
ポケモンもストーリーもBGMにおいても最高傑作
Hoenn es la razon porque las Trompas son mi instrumento favorito
Starts of strong with fanfare-like horns, epic rhythm, and the fucking buildup section gives me chills
BEST THEME.
jisoochrist AGREED!!
Fax
Gen 5 fans can stay mad and seethe
Gen 3 is THE GOAT
Para mi siempre serán :
Petra.
Marcial.
Eriko.
Candela.
Norman. (el unico al que no le cambian el nombre jeje)
Alana.
Vito y Letty.
Plubio.
👍👍👍👍
> Candela
*triggered*
> Candela
*still triggered*
Bueno querido, en inglés es diferente. Aunque seamos honestos, si las traducciones fuece hechas en México les dejarían los nombres como estan
Marcial, r-really? Brawly is now Unova's Elite Four.
This track is awesome gives chills 🔥🔥🔥 Congrats to game freak for the awesome remake in alpha sapphire and ruby omega 👌🏻👌🏻
*can't unhear Facade*
Norman was cool seeing actually how you battled your parent. Brawly seemed chill, but Flannery is my favorite because I like fire types.
This theme is just too good, probably the best gym theme of all time next to gen 1, it's just the type of theme to get you hyped for a gym battle!
0:49 is ALWAYS when the gym leader used a potion.
FAXXX
Roxanne has very slim belly
I can hear the pokeballs opening at 0:05 :D
Me too! Top!
Making Flannery the thumbnail.. very smart lol
My favorite gym leader theme of all the gens. Truly epic
It's been years and years but I still love Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald's music the best.
i liked this music because when you where doing linked battles in FR/LG this was the music
In the minute 1:38 its my favorite part of the theme music its very good
IKR! that part is cool
*potion noises*
[Gym Leader] uses full restore.
got damn it!
No other pokemon song has ever made me feel as emotional as this one. I love gen 3 so much.
The greatest theme in all of Pokemon. Even the remakes couldn't do it justice! :D
Royal Crustle Mixing them both together makes this theme even better...
Galar: ima end this mans whole carreer
I don't know why, but 1:07 gets me going really hard. A shame this wasn't included in the remakes.
Oh I thought you meant Flannery I was like whaaaaat?
@@OzCroc Lol! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@OzCroc she's a beauty, but the music is more of my type. 😂
Ayoo pause pause pause 🤨📸
This game brings one of the most attractive gym leaders
Winona? Flannery (even though she's like sixteen?) Wallace? Brawly? Which is it?
Juan, god damn sexy beast styling on people with his Kingdra and shit.
Pron addict detected
Opinion discarded
By far the best Gym Leader battle theme of any gen.
Tate and Liza in Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire: 😂😂
Tate and Liza in Pokémon Emerald: 💀💀
RS: Two Pokémon with dual typing.
E: Four Pokémon with dual typing.
ALL GYM LEADERS IN MY OPINION
Roxanne: Some teenage schoolgirl
Brawly: HIS MAKUHITA
Wattson: Killer Electric types
Flannery: My favorite
Norman: His pose is identical to Sabrina’s pose
Winona: Love the name
Tate and Liza: Awww so cute
Wallace: He looks like a girl
@aquatic well she looks like a student
@aquatic
what
why
when
how
maybe its because gamefreak makes literally EVERYONE the same height as brendan, lol
"awww so cute" That is what you say before you play emerald, and battle them. (Unless you pick mudkip)
1:01 Love that bit
Yeah, me too. Oh wait, you were talking about the music?
@@asmodeus58XX What else could it be XD 😂
@@davesteven7589-f8g Looking at a certain hot girl.
I can't hear the beginning of this song without hearing the pokeballs stack up
My top 5 Gym Leader Themes:
1. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
2. Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
3. X/Y
4. Black/White
5. Red/Blue/Yellow
Norman: slaking i choose you! (pillar men theme played)
I grew up with Diamond and Pearl but did play ORAS! I recognize the high quality of the soundtracks in the 3rd generation
2 years and only 6 dislikes.. this shows the beauty of gen 3
6 years and 0 dislikes, incredible
Everyone is talking about Tate and Liza..
*lets talk about Juan's Kingdra in Emerald*
Foe Kingdra used Double Team! Foe Kingdra's evasiveness rose! Manectric used Thunderbolt! Manectric's attack missed! Me: *AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH*
@@ziimulhah3223 There's a reason why i always keep Shock Wave in Electric-types , to counter this. Or just summon Rain Dance and whoop his ass with Thunder
Leader Juan is about to send out Kingdra.
Will you change your Pokemon?
No
*sends out manectric*
Manectric used thunder!

Crobat, Breloom, Gardevoir.
Crobat and breloom no hope, theyre just gonna miss an attack and faint to an ice beam.
So i sent out gardevoir
So i decided to use psychic instead cuz it hits harder of stab
FORGOT I ONLY HAD 6 PP LEFT ON IT BRUH
*missed 3 psychics in a row*
Kingdra used double team!
BRUH NOW ITS MAX EVASION
*gardevoir faints in a few turns well atleast it landed one psychic that did 50%*
*sents out breloom*
Breloom used Brick Break!
PLS HIT PLS HIT
YESSSS
Kingdra fainted!
FINALLY
God damn this hits home so hard
Like childhood in chiptune
Hands down the best gym leader theme❤
I just realised after all these years, their names are a play of word based on their specialised type:
Ro(ck)xanne
BRAWLy
WATTson
Fla(me)nnery
Norm(al)an
Win(d)nona
Wa(ter)llace
Don't know about Juan and Tate&Liza tho, maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but localisation did an amazing job if it's true.
Liza and Tate could be a play on "levitate", which is something generally associated with telekinesis and also the ability of their signature Pokemon.
No idea what Juan could mean, though.
