I just thought of something that an NPC would say about Karina's gym leader: "I heard she first wore the mask because she had a cold and didn't want to get the trainers sick, but she realized it made her look more like a dragon so she just kept wearing it"
I imagine that the very first interaction you have with her is she asking you to buy some medicine for her because she was too sick, and after that shes like the trainer that is always around when something happens but she's always late. Karina: Hey! xxxx I hear someone was polluting the water, help me give them what they deserve.... ! .... You already defeat them! .... Anyways see you later (something like that) And at the end she is like Elite Four or like the last Gym.
@@AntiqueKnife. Imagine for some reason loosing the battle against the bad guys, and when you come back to retry you notice that the NPC already beat the bad guys in your stead.
Julia the professor, never actually saw a pokemon in her life, she's busy doin' other stuff God that'd be great, Julia is just, so good It'd also be hilarious
you saying its inexpressible made me forget how i would explain it as soon as i typed the first letter curse you and saying something that effects/affects others without harm

Man, I wish I could play this game. I can picture when you beat Nathan he warns you that "the next gym (Jacob's) is just a bunch of bully's! He even took my sword and hit me with it! ...I mean it's made of foam, but it still hurt...emotionally..." And Jacob's gym having music that sounds like the snapping bad guys do in movies when they approach you in an alley. Also later they're arguing and Karina breaks it up (I picture her being the champion) and makes them be friends. the end. 100/10 would pay 60 dollars to play. P.S. Julia is the professor and she doesn't know anything about Pokemon. "Here, kid, take this and research these poke-monsters for me. If you fill it up I'll give you some pokedollars or whatever."
I like to imagine it's like a whole back-alley deal and you need to get into the deepest recesses of the Pokemon underbelly and fight a bunch of delinquents to reach him.
my gymsona is just an anxious teenager with three very small and cute Pokemon and they don't have a gym??? their status as gym leader is questionable?? and you just have to help them do their grocery shopping before you can fight, that's it
Nathan Yaffe: GREETINGS! Welcome to my STEEL GYM, are you ready for a battle of steel and blood! LETS FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! Jacob Andrews: Well who is it who walks down my alley? If you wanna pass here you gotta beat me and my bro. Karina Ferek: Hewwo UwU
Trainers will be like “Damn if those are the steel and fighting gyms, the dragon type gym must be hardcore!” And Karina is just there like “hewwo look at my children uwu”
Okay but the only thing I'm imagining is Jacob's hard-ass gym leader persona with his Pangoro in the bathroom in full hairdresser regalia with a comb and blowdryer fussing over Pangoro's hair like "Stay STILL man, stop SQUIRMING this has gotta be perfect!" and it completely kills any fear factor he might have had
Zen Headbutt, Psycho Cut, Heart Stamp + any other super effective STAB moves from dual Psychic mons like Play Rough or Brave Bird. Plus there isnt that many popular single Fighting mons, thus other moves like EQ for Lucarios etc.
@@mjm3091 Yeah, play rough seems to be the way to go. There are 4 non legendary psychic lines that can learn it (though only trough TM), so it isn't uncommon, it is 4 times effective against the gym leader's Pokemon, and it is just a good move. Brave bird isn't actually possible to learn for any psychic type except for mew. I would probably go with Swoobat with acrobatics for flying type coverage and Hatterene with play rough for fairy type. That's not a great set up speed wise, since Hatterene is very much a trick room pokemon, and Swoobat is rather the opposite of that, but both have good enough physical attack to be functional, and with this rule set that's what matters most.
I imagine her like skipping down the street and you see her turn the corner and youre like "aw she looks sweet" and then a second later these giant dragons come around the corner following her and she waves to you but you just stand there in shock and fear
Someone just approaches her thinking they can steal from her since she looks friendly and sweet and suddenly there’s just these two huge dragons attacking them
Katrina's gym leader would actually be really cool. The idea that she's a very unassuming and upbeat for being a dragon gym leader, showing that anyone can like anything they want. And the way she fights is more passive, letting the pokemon act kind of their own while she would be more of a cheerleader that occasionally throws in a suggestion for what they should do next. Even though the pokemon act mostly on their own, with a little direction it's what makes her a powerful gym leader.This would show trainers that sometimes trusting in your pokemon and allowing them to act on their instincts & working together with your pokemon can make your bond stronger and your fighting skills greater. I like the idea that each gym leader teaches you an aspect of what makes a great trainer by having a certain exaggerated trait to how they fight. So honestly a really cool gym leader concept. 😁
It's also great contrast. Because when you look at Lance, Clair, Drake, Drayden and Raihan- they all have the general theme of 'My dragons are big and strong and majestic and so am I'. She joins in neatly with Iris and Drasna. Iris is more of the childish nature of imagination and youth, while Drasna is more matronly and about history. Karina slots in between them, showing a calmness like Drasna but with the passion of Iris. In conclusion it's great all around.
She could give you a item that your pokemon can hold to act on its own to try and replicate what she has built naturally for trainers who aren't there yet (Could be a random selection and every other turn you can increase the chances of a move by selecting it)
@@elizabethsullivan1894 yeah but they probably film it in 2019 cause they are on break. It reminded me from the Rick & Morty scen from last season with the snake and summer
I just imagine the Meowth jumping around and mirroring his (probably highly exaggerated) gestures. Kinda like his personal "Meowth that's right!", only even more enthusiastic about it.
now with Nathan's interpretation of sewer trainer Julia (in the fan art for each other episode), I like to imagine that if you beat Jacob in the alley you now gain access to an open manhole with 'gym' and a down arrow spray painted on it
Julia and her pokemon are unbeatable and you will lose your entire team but if you get any of her 'mons to half health she lets you hang out in her room full of -vampires- dark type pokemon and take as many supplies as you can before leading you to the surface.
K I know this is an old comment but I have to add. So sewer Julia just wants to be left alone, but delinquent Jacob painted a big sign saying there’s a gym in the sewers just to fuck with Julia
@@MrPuenguin he flat out said he went full Yusuke and I was wondering why he didn't play it up and give Pangoro a Kuwabara style Pompadour instead of the slicked back style thing.
Honestly Karina's gym leader is probably the coolest because she's so unassuming, but still has the respect of two dragon type pokemon who are clearly very protective.
Nathan: “Aha! Fool that you are! You are now in my domain!” For his gym, I feel. Karina: “ugh... I’m very sick... can we finish this quickly...?” Jacob: “sic em.”
Nathan being a Steel-type gym leader is so ironic when you remember the episode he drew himself as a dual typed Rock/Fairy Pokemon which is quad weak to Steel
Hello! Maybe draw benders from avatar but they bend actual elements from the periodic table! Carbon Bender would be super OP or Neon Bender would be funny.
This is already an anime where the plot was truly about titties. Some seinen called The Qwaser of Stigmata. The dude who controlled oxygen was just suffocating peeps.
10:40 “I feel like a lot of the older Gym Leaders would think this is making a mockery of the sport” I was gonna agree but then I remembered Misty’s gym was half-aquarium and half-underwater theatre. Not in the games though, but in the anime.
35:54 i love to imagine him just going there once a week, kicking open the door and yelling "TODAY ILL FINALLY SLAY THESE DRAGONS" going into a hard-cut to him just UTTERLY defeated XD
I will be 90 years old and still giggling at Jacobs little nuesday cartoon openings. I hope he never stops them. Would love to see everyone draw their own Mecha. In one of those time laps episodes so they can take the challenge all serious like.
It would have been perfect if karina went for fairy Fairy: weak to steel strong against fighting Steel: weak to fighting strong against fairy Fighting: weak to fairy strong against steel
NUUUUUUEEEEEEEEESDAYYYYÝYYYY It's kinda nice seeing jacob do something less cartoony because he always makes it look so effortless it's hard to see how much skill he has
I like that Jacob openly admitted to vampirism of his friends and or co-workers, at the very top of the episode. This is why we’d all be killed as witches and monsters because we can’t keep our smartass mouths shut! lmao
Just finished a zine piece tonight, and gotta say, the cel-anime effect that Jacob showed here did wonders in tying the piece together! So I wanted to pop in and say thank you for all your wonderful videos and art advice, Drawfee!
If I were a Gym Leader, I'd definitely be Poison type. It's my favorite type and I totally vibe with the whole "gross/unappealing creature that's just trying to live its best life" aesthetic that Pokemon like Garbodor and Skuntank have. Since the two Poison gyms, Fuchsia and Virbank, have such wildly different aesthetics (ninjas and punk respectively), I don't feel obligated to make my Gym fit any kind of design theme like how all the Rock gyms are themed around rock-adjacent activities like archeology, mining, or rock-climbing. Therefore, my Gym would be mostly just a massive recycling plant that also has an area for fighting. The Gym challenge would just be an educational tour through the Gym. The challenge is that it's really stinky because I have a bunch of Pokemon that like to eat garbage, like Trubbish and Muk, living there so that I can do something with the garbage that can't be recycled. There would be a lot of them and they just kinda hang out and go to the garbage room when they're hungry. The educational tour would mostly focus on pollution and recycling, but the last leg of it would switch to explaining the difference between poisonous and venomous. I would conclude the tour by saying "I would be glad to show you the difference... in battle!" My team would include Pokemon who use toxins defensively (poisonous) and offensively (venomous). My Gym would focus on Double Battles, so challengers would have to deal with big defensive Pokemon backing up their more fragile, offensive friends.
I love the idea of being a themed gym rather than a type gym, kinda like one of those Bonus gym badges that exist in the show that aren't directly needed for the Elite Four. I'd be a themed type leader (or ghost type) that ties in with the Dark Brotherhood. When someone fulfills the requirement to challenge my gym, they'll fall asleep one day and wake up in my gym.
I can totally imagined Nathan's gym being an unassuming game store, but you walk in and it's basically just larpers and there's a gift shop where you can buy supplies for things like DnD you can order minis and all that
I've never played DND but I would love a DND Gym. I imagine it's layout like the Normal Gym from gen 3 but the rooms are all different areas like a creepy Forrest and it would work like the Gym leader is the Dungeon master and rolls your difficulty of the next Trainer as you would go through the different rooms and you would hear them narrate a little story based on your rolls and your Actions, like "and the Combatetor decides to go into the swamp, but what is lurking in the Shadows? It's a Troll!" And the Trainer in the Gym are all in costume and have fitting Pokemon. The last room would be the Treasurechamber and they are the Dragon or something and if you defeat them you wouldn't get anything from them no money no items no badge it'll all be in the big chest behind them. That would be so awesome, maybe I try doing that in a rpg maker...
As a traditional artist, I use the grey scale trick too! I'll take a picture of it and edit the color into grey scale on my phone. I can also flip the image while I'm at it ;)
After a while of sending requests to the authorities and vandalizing the buildings belonging to said authorities, they just let him have this one thing.
Nathan's gym leader strikes me as a very interesting character. Team is 6 pokemon and very strong, however the older gym leaders think of him as making a mockery. It's an interesting place to be as the 8th gym leader, who a lot of trainers never make it to. Volkner from gen 4, for example, is so bored he wants to quit. But Nathan, he's just so friendly that he's like "some people say I make a mockery of Pokémon battling. That I don't take it seriously enough. But when you think back to it, what was your first battle like? Did you have fun?" *Yes/No box* "Good! That's the way I think all battles should be. If you don't have fun, what's the point? Anyway, enough prattling, adventurer! *Holds out his sword* "You've made it this far! Now let's see what you're made of! Time to test your mettle!"
When Nathan said "roll the dice," man, I immediately though that he should have made the Pokeballs look like die's, and the one-side could have been the button!
I just thought of something that an NPC would say about Karina's gym leader: "I heard she first wore the mask because she had a cold and didn't want to get the trainers sick, but she realized it made her look more like a dragon so she just kept wearing it"
Vegas242 That could also be on her league card as well.
I imagine that the very first interaction you have with her is she asking you to buy some medicine for her because she was too sick, and after that shes like the trainer that is always around when something happens but she's always late.
Karina: Hey! xxxx I hear someone was polluting the water, help me give them what they deserve.... ! .... You already defeat them! .... Anyways see you later (something like that)

Nathan: “Aha! Fool that you are! You are now in my domain!” For his gym, I feel.
Karina: “ugh... I’m very sick... can we finish this quickly...?”
Jacob: “sic em.”
Nathan being a Steel-type gym leader is so ironic when you remember the episode he drew himself as a dual typed Rock/Fairy Pokemon which is quad weak to Steel
Sometimes you are your own worst enemy.
I relate to Karina so much. "I become emotionally attached to my Pokemon" and "my Pokes are looking cool and I'm exactly the same" 😂🥰😤
Thought this said “Gymosas” like they made drinks for Newsday
I thought you were talking about samosas
Next week: Artists Draw Themselves as Cocktails
I too
Draw cocktails as people!

I like to think that Jacob is like the third gym but he’s got a level 80 pangoro And he constantly just completely sweep your entire team
Nathan: "Ya know, that fancy cosplay foam that people wear."
Me, a cosplayer: "So a cut up work-out mat?"
Hello! Maybe draw benders from avatar but they bend actual elements from the periodic table! Carbon Bender would be super OP or Neon Bender would be funny.
Neon Benders would definitely live in Japan, Las Vegas, or New York due to the sheer amount of neon lighting
This is already an anime where the plot was truly about titties. Some seinen called The Qwaser of Stigmata. The dude who controlled oxygen was just suffocating peeps.
MachLight Isn’t that just Conduits? Or State Alchemists?
What if you were a gender bender?
Perrserker: head
Excadrill: pants and shoulderpad
Aegishlash: sword and shield
Armguards: bisharp
Boots: heatran
Chest: metagross
Its Perrserker, Excadrill and Aegislash. Escavalier is totally different Pokemon.

Me too! I'll gladly join Nathan's gym too
Nathan's gym is not battles it is board games and rec rooms
@@bloodstorm7787 YESSS!
Thing is, Julia’s already a ghost or dark type gym leader
You're leaning too far into set pokemon 'types', she's obviously an insanity/cellphone gym leader
All her pokemon are man versions of the actual pokemon, except Mr Mime who is just a pulsating eldritch nightmare.
You mean early Dark/Ghost gym leader with Sableye and Spiritomb? xD
@Trin Silvers Julia has a distinct brand
@Trin Silvers ua-cam.com/video/gBisNJxAmIk/v-deo.html Enjoy! This would be the start of Julia's Pokemon notoriety.
Drawfee: We draw ourselves as Pokémon gym leaders!
Me: Yes!
Drawfee: Also it’s all speedpaints!
Me: YES!!!
Love that in Karina's her dragons form sort of a heart shape around her
They really love her!!
Nathan's art: Design focused
Jacob's art: Composition focused
Karina's art: Aesthetic and Value focused
All of their art: Amazing
10:40 “I feel like a lot of the older Gym Leaders would think this is making a mockery of the sport”
I was gonna agree but then I remembered Misty’s gym was half-aquarium and half-underwater theatre. Not in the games though, but in the anime.
35:54 i love to imagine him just going there once a week, kicking open the door and yelling "TODAY ILL FINALLY SLAY THESE DRAGONS" going into a hard-cut to him just UTTERLY defeated XD
My headcanon is that hes just a big shy when not in character, and Karina is like his best friend in secret
I will be 90 years old and still giggling at Jacobs little nuesday cartoon openings. I hope he never stops them.
Would love to see everyone draw their own Mecha. In one of those time laps episodes so they can take the challenge all serious like.
Nathan’s Gym - LARPing nerds
Jacob’s Gym - Anime nerds
Karina’s Gym - Introverted nerds
It would have been perfect if karina went for fairy
Fairy: weak to steel strong against fighting
Steel: weak to fighting strong against fairy
Fighting: weak to fairy strong against steel
That would have been awesome
@@kameronrobison4982 yep
why do i have the feeling Julia would be just the leader of a Fight Club, concidering most Pokemon she drew were just people
She’s the boss of a massive company and alm her pokemon are just her workers and interns.
Imagine they’re not even Pokémon-
Julia: I CHOOSE YOU, JANITOR GREG! USE MOP!
10:05 “If you don’t look like one of these 6 people give up”
nah man. At that point you are clearly the protagonist.
Honestly the affirmation I need to get through life. Obviously my body type and image is Protagonist
I feel like Flygon is looking at me like he's about to blast me and Dragapult is like "this jerk again?"
NUUUUUUEEEEEEEEESDAYYYYÝYYYY
It's kinda nice seeing jacob do something less cartoony because he always makes it look so effortless it's hard to see how much skill he has
Ye! That whole shading thing was very cool.
His drawings is so rad I can’t stress this enough
I like that Jacob openly admitted to vampirism of his friends and or co-workers, at the very top of the episode. This is why we’d all be killed as witches and monsters because we can’t keep our smartass mouths shut! lmao
karina's whole process is just how i do everything, including the doodles and commentary notes such as "IM STRUGGLIN"
Jacob’s character is literally just Kishibe Rohan but if he stole Josuke’s clothes
You can't find me it frustrates me that no one brought up how pangoro just looks like a stand too, i just got extreme jojo vibes
Daaaaang
Bruh I thought the exact same thing and I'm glad it's not just me XD
Nah he looks like Yusuke From YuYu Hakasho
Don't you mean Kakyoin's clothes?
Is it just me, or does Jacob’s Pangoro look like and evolved form of his Capybara Pokémon? I think it’s the head shape that makes me see it
The head shape and the cool guy aesthetic really work toward that
Your not wrong
YES! I knew I recognized the head lol
...I KNEW I RECOGNISED THAT LANTERN-NOSE MULLET GUY
Can we talk about how Karina totally missed a chance to draw herself as kaiba
YUGI YOU FOOL!! EGYPT DOESNT EXIST!!!!!!
Knowing Glitch Nither Does your blue eyes white dragon waifu kaiba
ok but think about it.
A gym leader
with a Reshiram
This is by far one of my favorite drawings from Nathan. You can TELL when someone had fun drawing, this bearded gym leader roll play boi is so good
Just finished a zine piece tonight, and gotta say, the cel-anime effect that Jacob showed here did wonders in tying the piece together! So I wanted to pop in and say thank you for all your wonderful videos and art advice, Drawfee!
If I were a Gym Leader, I'd definitely be Poison type. It's my favorite type and I totally vibe with the whole "gross/unappealing creature that's just trying to live its best life" aesthetic that Pokemon like Garbodor and Skuntank have.
Since the two Poison gyms, Fuchsia and Virbank, have such wildly different aesthetics (ninjas and punk respectively), I don't feel obligated to make my Gym fit any kind of design theme like how all the Rock gyms are themed around rock-adjacent activities like archeology, mining, or rock-climbing.
Therefore, my Gym would be mostly just a massive recycling plant that also has an area for fighting.
The Gym challenge would just be an educational tour through the Gym. The challenge is that it's really stinky because I have a bunch of Pokemon that like to eat garbage, like Trubbish and Muk, living there so that I can do something with the garbage that can't be recycled. There would be a lot of them and they just kinda hang out and go to the garbage room when they're hungry.
The educational tour would mostly focus on pollution and recycling, but the last leg of it would switch to explaining the difference between poisonous and venomous. I would conclude the tour by saying "I would be glad to show you the difference... in battle!"
My team would include Pokemon who use toxins defensively (poisonous) and offensively (venomous). My Gym would focus on Double Battles, so challengers would have to deal with big defensive Pokemon backing up their more fragile, offensive friends.
I love the idea of being a themed gym rather than a type gym, kinda like one of those Bonus gym badges that exist in the show that aren't directly needed for the Elite Four. I'd be a themed type leader (or ghost type) that ties in with the Dark Brotherhood. When someone fulfills the requirement to challenge my gym, they'll fall asleep one day and wake up in my gym.
I imagine Nathan’s Perserjer being overly eccentric and just an actor
Jacob: “I haven’t figured out my entire team”
Also Jacob: “I only have one pokèmon”
Karina: dragon leaders always have a prestige about them...
Raihan: hold my beer; I need to take a selfie.
"This is the gamer gym"
*HOW DO I GET TO THIS GYM*
I can totally imagined Nathan's gym being an unassuming game store, but you walk in and it's basically just larpers and there's a gift shop where you can buy supplies for things like DnD you can order minis and all that
“bless his soul” karina your texan/southerner is showing
"fancy cosplay foam"
me: looks over at my stack of $10 craft foam from wal mart
I love how Nathan's design incorporates aspects of different Pokémon into his appearance. I'd love to see them do that more often.
I've never played DND but I would love a DND Gym. I imagine it's layout like the Normal Gym from gen 3 but the rooms are all different areas like a creepy Forrest and it would work like the Gym leader is the Dungeon master and rolls your difficulty of the next Trainer as you would go through the different rooms and you would hear them narrate a little story based on your rolls and your Actions, like "and the Combatetor decides to go into the swamp, but what is lurking in the Shadows? It's a Troll!" And the Trainer in the Gym are all in costume and have fitting Pokemon. The last room would be the Treasurechamber and they are the Dragon or something and if you defeat them you wouldn't get anything from them no money no items no badge it'll all be in the big chest behind them.
That would be so awesome, maybe I try doing that in a rpg maker...
The automatic subtitles are cracking me up: "...it's a sharp Bishop, it evolves from Claude Bernard"
Ah yes, my favourite pokémon, Claude Bernard
As a traditional artist, I use the grey scale trick too!
I'll take a picture of it and edit the color into grey scale on my phone. I can also flip the image while I'm at it ;)
Jacob's gymsona is just a weird guy that lives in an Alley who wants to fight literally everyone.
After a while of sending requests to the authorities and vandalizing the buildings belonging to said authorities, they just let him have this one thing.
Nathan's gym leader strikes me as a very interesting character. Team is 6 pokemon and very strong, however the older gym leaders think of him as making a mockery. It's an interesting place to be as the 8th gym leader, who a lot of trainers never make it to. Volkner from gen 4, for example, is so bored he wants to quit. But Nathan, he's just so friendly that he's like "some people say I make a mockery of Pokémon battling. That I don't take it seriously enough. But when you think back to it, what was your first battle like? Did you have fun?" *Yes/No box* "Good! That's the way I think all battles should be. If you don't have fun, what's the point? Anyway, enough prattling, adventurer! *Holds out his sword* "You've made it this far! Now let's see what you're made of! Time to test your mettle!"
I feel like I would have such a blast in Nathan’s gym. And now I’m so upset that a LARPing Pokémon gym doesn’t exist.
When Nathan said "roll the dice," man, I immediately though that he should have made the Pokeballs look like die's, and the one-side could have been the button!
Nathan: "LARPing"
me: oh yeah, that's the Poké Maniac pose from RSE/HGSS/ORAS
Love how the Dreepys up in the Dragapult's head are looking so nervous. They got the scared eyes and sweat drops. It is just so great
17:20 "It's like when a dress has pockets. You love to see it." 😂😂
Jacob: "I'd be a Japanese gangster"
Also Jacob: "What's a bancho?"

I absolutely adore Karina's drawing, her trainer really makes the scene.
Jacob always sounds like he has so much fun doing the countdown when he starts the videos
