It’s always been my head canon that the gym leaders are all equally strong, they just keep 8 different teams that they switch out based on how many badges the challenger has. A similar thing would apply to the other gym trainers but they wouldn’t have multiple teams, the leader just decides who you challenge based off your badges and gyms have a wide range or skill level with their trainers so there’s always enough to make a series of obstacles for the challenger.
Except for Galar, because it’s explicitly stated that they’re in order of strength and the gym challenge has a specific order. All the others seem plausible though because of Origins where brock asks how many gym badges red has before picking his team
Origins was really clever showing that gym leaders have multiple teams to the level of their contestants. I mean, imagine you want to start your league championship, live in the same city as the "last" gym and the "first" gym is halfway across the region!? Makes more sense they would have a flexible order of gyms ready for contestants of different amount of badges. The game obviously can't afford it, but the lore certaintly can.
I remember in the Indigo League anime Ash was just going to the nearest gym every time too he didn't have an order (and if there were an order he probably wouldn't know cause he's Ash, he didn't even knew how to catch Pokemon at first)
I love the idea from Pokemon Origins that all the gym leaders are actually packing full aggro teams and choose fewer and weaker Pokemon of theirs depending on how many badges the trainer taking on the gym has. It makes perfect sense because having most trainers in the country being more powerful than any gym leaders would be really weird, and it makes it so that any new trainer starting their journey wouldn't have to travel all the way to a specific town to start their gym challenge.

Maybe he will be a poison type leader with the two nidorans, why i believe this: In red and blue you can find nidoran male and female at the left of the first gym, before the victory road entrance Almost all rock type pokemon in kanto are also ground type, so it wouldn't make sense if we fight brock later.
He just won’t be the bad guy and his gym would be on Cinnibar and that’s the starting town and u ride boats and Blaine is bad think about it fire is evil
This is what I’d love to see in a future game; the ability to challenge gym leaders on any order you want, opening new areas and scaling the others appropriately. Not entirely open world, but very close to it conceptually.
Having 6-8 Gyms inside of the same massive city the size of the wild area would be really cool to see with a similar any order feature with the massive plot happening when you finished the Gym Challenge & a similar long pre gym challenge existing to what happened in Gen 8. Perhaps 2 of the Gyms wouldn't be part of the main city where any order happens or something could happen where you have to rematch the gym leaders as part of the plot. I'm still waiting for Pokemon to Escape the 8 Gym Total & was disappointed that Gen 8 chose to have version exclusives instead of 10 Gyms.
The best part is that this is something that's been theoretically possible since gen three with the ribbon system. Just like how a pokemon had to have certain ribbons to participate in certain contests, you could have number of badges change the gym. Or even, theoretically, a replay able gym challenge where you register a team at the beginning and the gym ribbon they have when you start the next gym dictates how strong that gym will be.
This video honestly just reminded me of how much I love the art design of Hoenn's gym leaders. They're just super creative, personal favorites are Roxanne and Flannery. Emerald is the best.
3:55 To that end, wouldn't Kababra on Sabrina be too strong too? I mean it has higher offenses than Magmar and even a STAB Confusion would be quite a hurdle to handle for the first Gym. An Abra with Hidden Power Psychic would be a more balanced choice imo
@@werrywit Problem is that at that point of the game, the best form of offense you have is your starter with Ember/Water Gun/Vine Whip. 2/3 of those moves are special (thus hitting Kadabra's base 70 instead of the base 40 defense). Tackle/Pound/Scratch is definitely not one shotting it and neither is Razor Leaf without a crit. Kadabra could easily threaten a 2HKO on your starter and 1HKO anything else without an equal level gap
6:26 You say that, when Milo, the first gym leader in Galar, uses Eldegoss, a Pokemon with 460 base stat total, very good for a first gym Pokemon. Bugsy, the second gym leader in Johto, uses Scyther, a Pokemon with 500 base stat total.
Except you know...base stat totals aren't everything. Both Milo and Bugsy use types that are weak to most earlygame mons. The entire first half of the wild area, all the routes before the gym, and even the isle of armor DLC are all open before you fight Milo. As for Bugsy, the early areas give enough rock/flying/electric types to deal with him, not to mention the fire starter. Steelix resists a lot of the earlygame normal moves, and you only have three pokemon that can do something to it - cyndaquil which dies to the rock moves it learns early on in HGSS, totodile which isn't a special attacker, and the route 32 woopers in case you started with chikorita. Typings and the available pokemon matter way more than base stat totals.
@@chonkyclouds7635 Pretty much. Hence why while having a higher BST, Bugsy's Scyther isn't as infamous as Whitney's Miltank. Bugsy's Scyther deffo got an upgrade with u-turn and now is actually in impressive poké, Miltank's moveset is just fucking disgusting. Same with Starmie (who is sometimes seen as strong) You're also likely to have a flying type, a rock type or a grass type, meaning having a higher BST poké with ok to bad moves is way easier to handle than a poké that can infatuate you, is bulky, can heal itself, and flinch you or ramp with rollout. If Scyther got swords dance to boost its ATK or something, it also would be fucking insane. Or Starmie with calm mind. But they don't.
@@Skarmory_oshiku He didn't said Skarmory is weak. He said Skarmory was the only Gen2 Pokémon, since Pineco isn't Steel type and Onix isn't Gen 2 (and steel type). And I mean, Bugsy is using Scyther.
Turning absolute powerhouse gymleader a more simple team is interesting, such is changing from other to 8th leader, or elite 4 to champio- wait, I remember some of this...
Aura: out of the gen 2 bug types from yanma and spinarak... Meanwhile in a basement cracking a cold one in depression, Heracross: I wish I would get recognized besides for being 1 of ashes pokemon. Ledyba and Pineco: at least you are popular! Are we a joke to you!!
He made a serious video with the wrong pronunciations video, though that was immediately followed up with the correct pronunciations, so I suppose some aren't counting that one?
@@itskdog That still had many joke moments, like calling Infernape "The best Pokemon ever created" so I count that as a joke video. So this is the first serious video he's made since 25 useless Pokemon facts 3
Miltank: hey whitney, you got those steroids I wanted? Whitney: you've already had three injections today, and you have milk drink! Miltank: but... Please... Whitney: fine... Have 7 more...
An idea I had for Raihan would be to give him a Dreepy to start off with and then for his ace, give him a Vibrava. I felt that would balance things out pretty nicely
Looks like the gem leaders have been taken down a peg. What if someone made a rom hack that made the first gym leaders the last ones with high stat evolved pokemon and all the last gym leaders the first with tier 1 pokemon? That would be quite interesting.
Can we take a moment to appreciate he puts Whitneys Miltank on the same level as a DURALUDON. I have swept uber teams with this thing. And these are the ones who use Zacian and Etearnus and Melmetal on the same team. Yeah, those ones. This just kinda puts into perspective how OP that goddamn Miltank is.
When I joined this was a serious Pokémon channel and I loved it. Now it is a channel that takes everything and flips it on its head as can also just make some straight up meme content. And I love it even more.
Earth Power PLZ I mean, I wasnt saying its a bad thing to make similar videos to other people, when your entire channel is based on a single game series theres only so much you can talk about
Yeah why would you get pokemon sword. Honestly pokemon Shield is waay better, you got the really adorable allister and ya girl melony. What more could ya ask for?
I think Milos' team should be applin and eldegoss, because he eventually uses flapple (or appletunn), and also so he doesn't have repeat first gym team. Also, I think raihan should have the other pokemon you mentioned as his team, so he should have sillicobra and dreepy. ;)
if aura guardian made a video where he was a gym leader : "eh i think i'll be the 3rd gym leader , and i will choose 3 simple pokemon , that'd be mewtwo rayquaza and kyogre , all being at a low level of lv 100"

Yes, yes. I'm aware that Magmar might be better than Scyther in a couple of ways. However, don't you think 110 Attack and 105 Speed is a bit much for the first gym? I mean, he did justice (or injustice) with Whitney for her to only have a Miltank (BST 490 btw). Bugsy's ace is Scyther. It'll be a Gen 2 soon enough. Just let him have Scyther.
@@miramirza2 i just searched for a random stat calculator. the stats for a plain Scyther at about lv 12 are as follows: hp:~40; atk:~33; def:~25; sp.atk: ~19; sp.def: ~26; speed: ~32. This is without ev's, iv's and natures... Assuming i use a chikorita at lv12 and some other 'mons in my party, my grass starter would have stats as follows: hp:~34; atk:~18; def:~22; sp.atk: ~18; sp.def: ~22; speed: ~17. Sure it's lower but he is a Gym leader and we haven't even evolved our starter yet. BUT. we still could zergrush Bugsy with lower level trash and use a Ghastly for Hypnosis. The 110 Attack and 105 speed you are reading about are the average for Lv50 Scyther and not indicative of what it will be capable of at much lower levels...
Thanks for another out of this world mind blowing nasterpiece! Its amazing how you can come up with such amazing well thought up ideas....I applaud you good sir! Also as a man of culture I love the misty pic you chose to put up lol!
This is actually an interesint concept in itself. It always kinda depends on when would the trainer start. Such thing was brought up in the Pokemon Origins saga, when Brock was shown to have multiple Pokemon and he was choosing Pokemon to battle Red with based on the number of Badges Red had (which was 0 at the time) as Michael brought up in his video
I still remember getting rly confused first time playing Platinum seeing that the woman who is dressed like a Drifblim does not use a Drifblim/loon in her battle.
If Giovanni was the first GL: You have a choice after defeating him. He gives the monologue on his dreams for TR, and then you decide: Turn him in or let him go. If you let him go it acts like a normal game from then on, but with some extra dialogue covering the choice you made. If you turn him in, though, you go through the region, but without Rocket. Everywhere something used to happen with them, it doesn’t. Until you bring local thugs out of the woodwork, and this new Neo-TR becomes the main villians
18:44 I believe giving Milo an Applin instead of Gossifleur would be nice. Instead of aving a repeat line, we would have the 2 new grass pokemons, and Applin line is used in the later battles and has quite a lot of weaknesses so it would be a perfect pick.
15:17 This is a bit nitpicky but Cryogonal is WAY too strong for a first gym. The average base stat total for the ace of each gym leader is 373 (including Hala). Cryogonal’s BST is 515 which is crazy high. I know this is just a hypothetical but that’s insane. Great vid tho
Bear in mind that this is only nowadays, Cryogonal has received some of the biggest BST buffs amongst all Pokémon, it used to be 485, including back in Gen 5, so just give us that Cryogonal and boom, fixed.
Honestly I hope they decide to change up gyms based on your badge count in later games. It makes sense for gyms to have these sorts of teams because it isn't like every trainer lives in pallet town. What if fighting wake before maylene gives maylene a medicham instead of meditite for example.
I can’t wait to see what practical joke this video will play on me. 😂 Edit: holy sh*t this video wasn’t a joke. I was on my toes the whole time. That is unless the concept is supposed to be a joke lol
Wow all teams are actually pretty great and look like what they would have! I agree with everyone except one... I think Sillicobra and Vibrava would fit Raihain's team It fits his Ground and Dragon Type themes of his team that way
This video is quik and straight to the point with good arguments. and i like it more than the 8th gym leader video. (Not that it is a bad video. I enjoyed it) But when i looked at the play time. *suprised pickachu face* i didnt know it took 20+ min. Well done. Thats when you know its a great video.
good choice overall! I personally would give Valarie a Flabébé/Floette instead of a swirlix since it would give her a strong front line imo. every other gym are perfect and i love how you give respect to the johto gym leader by adding johto pokemon in their kanto ish pokemon team. Murkrow could also be a good bird pokemon to add on Falkner's team! :)
@@cloveraev It was treated as stronger than her Sylveon and was her Pokemon of choice during the final climatic battle in the anime, y'know *the one where all the gym leaders chose their ace Pokémon to fight back the giant fake Zygarde.* ua-cam.com/video/PlurUGTANNM/v-deo.html
I wonder what TMs they would all give out as the first Gym Leader, for some of them their normal TMs would be too strong to be a reward for a first gym victory.
It probably depends on the leader. Here are some possibilities, taken from the full list of moves that have ever been a TM/TR. Priority is given to TMs that have been a Gym TM before. Normal: Swift, Work Up, Round...and I guess Return because that has been given out pretty damn early in games before. Fire: Fire Spin, Incinerate Water: Water Pulse, Brine, Rain Dance, Bubble Beam Electric: Thunder Wave, Shock Wave, Charge Beam Grass: Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Bullet Seed, Grass Knot, Trailblaze, Magical Leaf Ice: Icy Wind, Avalanche Fighting: Bulk Up, Power-Up Punch, Low Sweep, Low Kick, Seismic Toss Poison: Acid Spray, Poison Tail, Venoshock, Toxic Ground: Mud-Slap, Mud Shot, Bulldoze Flying: Aerial Ace, Roost, Air Cutter Psychic: Calm Mind, Light Screen, Reflect, Skill Swap, Psywave Bug: Fury Cutter, Struggle Bug, Pounce, Infestation Rock: Rock Tomb, Rock Polish, Stealth Rock, Smack Down Ghost: Confuse Ray, Night Shade Dragon: Dragon Breath, Breaking Swipe Dark: Thief, Taunt, Torment, Hone Claws, Snarl, Brutal Swing Steel: Smart Strike, Metal Claw Fairy: Charm, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss

Other choices I had in mind: -Whitney: Miltank and Aipom, since Aipom was also introduced in Gen 2 and she used an Ambipom. -Norman: Slakoth and Zigzagoon, since he lent a Zigzagoon to Wally and has a Linoone. -Wallace: Luvdisc and Barboach, since he is shown with a Whiscash. -Candice: Snorunt, Snover, and Sneasel, since she uses it more often than Piloswine and it also evolves into a Gen 4 Pokémon. -Olympia: Slowpoke and Espurr. -Opal: Togetic and Milcery. This is also balanced in my opinion. -Piers: Stunky and Galarian Zigzagoon. -Raihan: Goomy and Duraludon, though Duraludon needs to be underleveled (level 6-12, maybe). (I originally wrote underleveled Vibrava, but then I forgot none of Raihan's Pokemon would be Gen 8) -Hapu: Alolan Diglett, Trapinch, and Mudbray. Extras: -Mustard (former fighting gym leader): Mienfoo and Kubfu/Clobbopus. Trial Captains: -Ilima: Eevee and Yungoose, 3rd would be Alolan Ratata or Smeargle. -Lana: Chinchou and Dewpider, 3rd is Shellder. -Kiawe: Fletchinder and Salandit/Alolan Marowak, but if it's Alolan Marowak, it needs to be underleveled, 3rd is Growlithe. Salandit is a Pokemon that appears in his trial. -Mallow: Phantump and Steenee, 3rd is Morelull. -Sophecles: Underleveled Charjabug and Togedemaru, 3rd is Magnemite. -Acerola: Shuppet and Sandygast, 3rd is Gastly. -Mina: Jigglypuff and Cutiefly, 3rd is Snubull or Mime Jr..
I mean, he still could, if he's got different opinions on what their Pokémon ought to be. I personally would've given Falkner a Murkrow instead of Pidgeotto, for example.
I actually feel Cryogonal can work well with a first Gym Leader, as it teaches you about considering more than just type effectiveness when choosing moves due to the large imbalance between its Defense and Special Defense stats. However, to help make it more manageable, since the Gym Leader's ace always knows the move from the TM that they hand out, I think it would be best if an Ice Gym Leader that had a Cryogonal as their ace gave out the TM for Avalanche, a negative priority physical move that Cryogonal can learn, as Cryogonal's biggest strengths are its Special Defense, Speed, and Special Attack.

Agreed
But anything would kill it as it is extremely frail.
@@werrywit Problem is that at that point of the game, the best form of offense you have is your starter with Ember/Water Gun/Vine Whip. 2/3 of those moves are special (thus hitting Kadabra's base 70 instead of the base 40 defense). Tackle/Pound/Scratch is definitely not one shotting it and neither is Razor Leaf without a crit. Kadabra could easily threaten a 2HKO on your starter and 1HKO anything else without an equal level gap

You say that, when Milo, the first gym leader in Galar, uses Eldegoss, a Pokemon with 460 base stat total, very good for a first gym Pokemon.
Bugsy, the second gym leader in Johto, uses Scyther, a Pokemon with 500 base stat total.
Except you know...base stat totals aren't everything. Both Milo and Bugsy use types that are weak to most earlygame mons. The entire first half of the wild area, all the routes before the gym, and even the isle of armor DLC are all open before you fight Milo. As for Bugsy, the early areas give enough rock/flying/electric types to deal with him, not to mention the fire starter. Steelix resists a lot of the earlygame normal moves, and you only have three pokemon that can do something to it - cyndaquil which dies to the rock moves it learns early on in HGSS, totodile which isn't a special attacker, and the route 32 woopers in case you started with chikorita. Typings and the available pokemon matter way more than base stat totals.

Same with Starmie (who is sometimes seen as strong)
You're also likely to have a flying type, a rock type or a grass type, meaning having a higher BST poké with ok to bad moves is way easier to handle than a poké that can infatuate you, is bulky, can heal itself, and flinch you or ramp with rollout.

This and the “last gym leader” video really remind me of Pokémon Conquest, and how you can actually see the enemy Pokémon get stronger over time.
An idea I had for Raihan would be to give him a Dreepy to start off with and then for his ace, give him a Vibrava. I felt that would balance things out pretty nicely
“Kingdra and dragonite were her only dragon types”
Me, staring down dragonair: “h m m”
I think he meant to say “the dragonite line”
Or he meant the only fully evolved Dragon types.
Looks like the gem leaders have been taken down a peg.

Magmar:

"Too high"
Scyther:

Well Scyther is kinda his(her?) ace.
Magmar's stat distribution makes him just bulky enough to be far worse than Kadabra, and his typing and movepool is way beyond Scyther.
Yes, yes. I'm aware that Magmar might be better than Scyther in a couple of ways. However, don't you think 110 Attack and 105 Speed is a bit much for the first gym? I mean, he did justice (or injustice) with Whitney for her to only have a Miltank (BST 490 btw). Bugsy's ace is Scyther. It'll be a Gen 2 soon enough. Just let him have Scyther.
@@miramirza2 i just searched for a random stat calculator. the stats for a plain Scyther at about lv 12 are as follows: hp:~40; atk:~33; def:~25; sp.atk: ~19; sp.def: ~26; speed: ~32.
This is without ev's, iv's and natures...
Assuming i use a chikorita at lv12 and some other 'mons in my party, my grass starter would have stats as follows:
hp:~34; atk:~18; def:~22; sp.atk: ~18; sp.def: ~22; speed: ~17.
Sure it's lower but he is a Gym leader and we haven't even evolved our starter yet. BUT. we still could zergrush Bugsy with lower level trash and use a Ghastly for Hypnosis.

18:44 I believe giving Milo an Applin instead of Gossifleur would be nice. Instead of aving a repeat line, we would have the 2 new grass pokemons, and Applin line is used in the later battles and has quite a lot of weaknesses so it would be a perfect pick.
15:17 This is a bit nitpicky but Cryogonal is WAY too strong for a first gym. The average base stat total for the ace of each gym leader is 373 (including Hala). Cryogonal’s BST is 515 which is crazy high. I know this is just a hypothetical but that’s insane.
Great vid tho
Bear in mind that this is only nowadays, Cryogonal has received some of the biggest BST buffs amongst all Pokémon, it used to be 485, including back in Gen 5, so just give us that Cryogonal and boom, fixed.
Honestly I hope they decide to change up gyms based on your badge count in later games. It makes sense for gyms to have these sorts of teams because it isn't like every trainer lives in pallet town. What if fighting wake before maylene gives maylene a medicham instead of meditite for example.

I actually feel Cryogonal can work well with a first Gym Leader, as it teaches you about considering more than just type effectiveness when choosing moves due to the large imbalance between its Defense and Special Defense stats. However, to help make it more manageable, since the Gym Leader's ace always knows the move from the TM that they hand out, I think it would be best if an Ice Gym Leader that had a Cryogonal as their ace gave out the TM for Avalanche, a negative priority physical move that Cryogonal can learn, as Cryogonal's biggest strengths are its Special Defense, Speed, and Special Attack.
