    I have become aware that I hath made some goofs:
    1. Hilbert and Hilda are supposed to have the monkey weak to their starter, not strong. It's been so long since I've played BW not-randomized that I got all the monkey matchups mixed up (oooh fun alliteration)
    2. Victor and Gloria should have Eternatus, since it's canon that they actually catch it and I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS. It can replace...
    3. Boltund. I missed that Hop used one for...one...battle...(dumb Hop changing his team so much lol)

    In my belief, Hilbert and Hilda are separate characters, just in another timeline, with Black being more focused on Hilbert and White being about Hilda. In Black 2 and White 2's postgame, you can return to Nuvema town and talk to the previous protagonist's mother, and depending on the version she mentions a different character gender. In Black 2, she says "You look just like him," but in White 2 she says "You look just like her.". The starters won't change between versions, but the legendaries do. Hilbert will have a Reshiram, and Hilda would have a Zekrom, therefore in the sequels Nate have N's Zekrom and Rosa would have N's Reshiram.

    • @agirlinsearchof9057

      …Uh, not to be that person, but according to Bulbapedia, the “You look just like her” line (with no “you look just like him” line) comes after the BW protagonist’s mother mistakes the B2W2 protagonist for her own child. She says “Huh…? Excuse me! How embarrassing! Mistaking a visitor for my own child! You’re [player name]?” If you say yes, she says, “I knew it, you look just like her,” then talks about the B2W2 protagonist’s mother. (In fact, both other lines referencing her child have her referring to them in gender-neutral terms.)

    I think the reason why the female protag for Gen 1 was named "Leaf" as opposed to "Green" was because she was only later included in the Fire Red and Leaf Green versions, so as opposed to simply just calling her Green, as some kind of a reference to her inclusion in the remakes, they went with "Leaf" since the remake was Leaf Green.

    Somehow I imagine building Serena's team based on the Pokemons she has in the anime. While she didn't have six on her during the course of the storyline, the three she had were pretty type diverse and solid, and we can fill out the rest with Pokemons that might have some sort of connection to her. Therefore, this is what I believe Serena's team should be:
    Delphox (her starter fully evolved), Sylveon and Pangoro (as seen in the anime) and the other three are possibly:
    1. Rhyperior (her mother trained her to be a Rhyhorn racer, despite not liking the sport, she would have access to Rhyhorns back home and it's possible that she has a Rhyperior on her battle team)
    2. Talonflame (we can see her mother's fletchling waking her up in the beginning of X&Y so we can probably assume that there are a lot of them where she lived and possibly catching one for her team)
    3. Klefki (because of her whole thing with contests)
    4. and last, Politoed/Poliwrath (this one is a bit more creative but since she was startled by a Poliwag right before her and Ash met for the first time, she might thank the little creature for having her meet her future love interest, and possibly keeping one for her team)
    As you can tell, I was bored but that's just my opinion.

    I'm surprised that you don't notice the reasoning for Red having Arcanine and Machamp in Let's Go.
    Let's Go takes places before the other games when he's a boss battle, so he's simply yet to trade for the other two starters at this point. As for who he trades with, it's Blue.
    Blue has Charizard, and also Tauros (a Pokémon he's not usually shown with). So Blue presumably trades Green for her Blastoise, giving her his Tauros. Then Red trades his Machamp and Arcanine to Blue in exchange for the other two starters, giving both him and Blue the exact teams we later see them with. It's a really cool detail.

    They don't appear anywhere except as your character, they aren't depicted with specific starters most often, from what little there is to go off, they don't seem like they'll appear in the anime, hell, they don't technically even look the same most of the time! Plus, I don't know how accurate this is, but I poked around and the only gift pokemon in S/V seems to be Galarian Meowth? And its an optional side thing in the game. So basically, the only set pokemon they ever get are the unknown starter and the legendary.

And in the Spin-Off games he's depicted with Venusaur, in the Let's Go games, and... none of them in Colosseum. Even in Smash Bros, he's shown with all three starters. There really isn't much pointing to Charizard as his definitive choice across all media outside of "Charizard is the most popular" and "orange/fire type is closest to the colour red".

      labeling the entirety of pokespe as just dark is a massive misnomer. by this same logic the anime can simply be labeled as stupid as it took 20 years for ash to actually win a regional league, an accomplishment that is borderline trivial for a trainer that traveled to 7 different regions battling hundreds of pokemon yet people inflate this accomplishment as if ash hadn't been failing league after league in the past.
      and when it comes to story telling it is just undeniable that the pokemon manga is king among all the pokemon mediums in this department since this manga has been making original stories of the scraps of story that are contained in the pokemon games for DECADES.
      heck gen 5 the gen so many game fans consider to have the peak quality of storytelling is just retelling the story of the pokemon manga's yellow arc. a story of two sides with differing views on protecting pokemon (one of which plans on separating pokmeon from humans to protect those pokemon from human abuse and manipulation) both fighting over the power of an all powerful dragon.

    Very good video, but there are a few small things I would change with Brendan/May and Victor/Gloria
    as you already mentioned in the comments of this very video eternatus replaces boltund on victory/gloria's team since they canonically catch it
    and another thing
    when you were going over victor/gloria's team you added in urshifu because it's a mandatory encounter in the post game, but it's canonical post game story
    by that logic I would also consider calyrex to be on victor/gloria's team over centiskortch since 1. I do not think that there is any canonical info confirming centi to be on their team and 2. same story as Urshifu, Calyrex is a mandatory post game encounter that is likely canonical just like the isle of armor
    and adding onto that, I would DEFINITELY add Mega Rayquaza onto Brendan/May’s team since it is an unavoidable encounter in canonical post game, like seriously if you kill it it just forces you to encounter it again
    would probably add it over breloom/magcargo
    and lastly for deoxys, I would definitely give this one very good consideration because in pokemon generations (I think it's generations anyway) episode 9, it shows the protagonist on top of mega rayquaza clearly catching deoxys, who I would probably add in over raichu since raichu is only used in 1 singular battle in the post-credits rival battle in oras and also it's not a hoenn native pokemon which is a slight hit since every other member of the team is a Hoenn pokemon
    anyways just a little bit of thought I had to offer, but still a very good video

    I think the Kalos protag would have a Lucario, after all it’s a gift pokemon that is shoved pretty directly in you’re face, other gift mons include Lapras and Flibebe (although that’s post-game)

      It must be the version of events where you say no and it just stands there waiting for you to come back for the entire game, and I’m not sorry about it either.

    Since the Galar episode of Pokemon Evolutions came out a while ago, Victor/Gloria would have Inteleon as well as Eternatus. Hop has Cinderace and Leon has Rillaboom.
    That leaves four spots open for the protagonists.

      The only legendaries I would like to be canon for the protaganists are the Gen 5 ones since they are so essential to the protaganists themselves. And the Tao duo have a history of being comanded and aiding trainers many times in the past.

    Yknow... it would make alot more sense to say that red's team is based off of a playthrough of pokemon yellow, since all of his pokemon are gift pokemon you recieve in pokemon yellow, other than the snorlax which is a static encounter, the fact that the team he uses in hgss is the team he uses most often is a good indication of this
